Thanks!

I'm considering the OnePlus 8 Pro but I'm curious about the GPS performance. I keep seeing stories online about OnePlus throttling background services and I'm wondering if that includes location services. I tried the Axon 10 Pro last fall and while overall it wasn't a bad phone it had so many...

I'm considering picking up a Pixel 4XL. I would want to register my face as well as my wife's but I know you could originally only enter one face per profile. I saw some old posts online about the possibility of Google adding this ability but I never saw any follow-ups from the past year. I...

So is the Essential Phone the first to run four major platform versions? Released on 7 and now on 10.

The FI website says the PH-1 is "tested and certified" to work with FI but won't have the network switching.

I'm on ATT and have tried turning Enhanced 4G LTE mode off and on over the past year with no difference in call quality. Now, after the November update, it finally works! I'm getting the HD icon on the dialer and the call quality is freakishly clear (I've never had HD calling work on a phone...

What a great review! And good timing for me as I'm seriously considering upgrading from my Nexus 9. The best pricing I'm seeing right now is $175 for the Asus and $300 for the 8" version of the Huawei. Do you feel the Huawei is worth almost twice as much? Another question I haven't been able to...

I'm also seeing some weirdness in regards to email notifications but this started before Pie. I have three accounts synched to my email app and on one of the three I've had issues receiving notifications. A reboot of the phone fixes it for maybe half a day then the notifications for that account...

Thanks for the response. I had figured out to remove my keyboard from the manage keyboards menu this morning. The issue doesn't happen with Gboard so I already emailed the developer asking for help. I'm using Wrio keyboard and I had forgotten how weird it is to type on a normal keyboard.

After I updated this morning I'm noticing my nav. bar goes dead whenever my keyboard is open. The back arrow even switches to point down to close the keyboard but none of the buttons work. As I'm typing this on the AC app, the only way I can close my keyboard is if I press the "post reply"...

My clear Tudia SKN case is out for delivery today. It was showing on Amazon as not even being released until tomorrow but it shipped Sunday. I'll update with impressions if nobody gets theirs first.

Nice! Glad to be of some assistance.

You may want to re-read that. Their website says you still have to pay the difference between the amount you've paid during the lease and full retail to own the phone at the end of the lease.

You can do voice and data at the same time on Verizon if you have the advanced calling features enabled on both the phone and your Verizon account. You'll be using the VoLTE feature so the voice call will be using the LTE bands along with data. The simplified story is that when in an LTE...

I do get what you're saying but when a company buys another company they take both the good and the bad. They're taking on the liabilities of that other company. As far as I'm concerned, the Robin became Razers phone when they purchased Nextbit. Razer has been in complete control of whether or...
