    Why can't I change my network mode?

    Second sim on s6 duos is 2G only. Swap the sims around and it will work fine

    Should I buy htc 10 or else samsung galaxy s7?

    Yea you are going to be alone on this front. You are like the literal outlier on this front The s7e is the singularly best phone i have used this year (and i have used a lot between all the flagships). The battery life is just simply put incredible. All day long on LTE with dualsim using...

    Will Allo replace your current messaging app?

    No it won't. Unlike the US we dont have unlimited SMS and no one really use sit around here. Whatsapp will continue to remain the main stay

    Is there something wrong with my camera?

    Got to echo what the others are saying. What's the issue with these shots? They don't look anything like oil paintings.

    Stable enough yet for a daily?

    Google has made it a joke to switch back. No need of flashing images at all. Just head over to https://www.google.com/android/beta - There select opt-in. Once you do that it comes as an OTA. Want to go back to MM? Simply opt out from the same link and it gives you another OTA for latest...

    Gotta Get to the Bottom of This Battery Drainage! Pics

    Humblest of suggestions. I had a similar use case with mine. Massive battery bleedout I simply did the following 1) Reset the phone 2) Installed my apps only as i needed them. Took facebook and blocked it from accessing anything via permission manager 4) Switched to a dark theme ( via the...

    HTC 10 going back, I'm going to iOS

    No one size fits all and that's about it. Go with what you are comfortable with. Clearly Android is not for you and iOS is. Go back, get the iPhone and be happy.

    Am I the only one unimpressed with the S7 camera?

    Nothing much to add, but this is a fantastic post. It's definitely showcased some of the limitations of the S7 quite nicely and is very spot on. It's also half the reason i am keeping my 6p around. The phone is slower, but seems to take more realistic shots at times.

    How do you store your photos? SD card, Google photos, both?

    Well several ways. 1) SD-Card 2) Auto backup to google photos 3) Amazon photos (unlimited full sized storage with prime). Once every 3 months i copy the content of the sd-card onto PC and dump it on dropbox.

    bad battery life

    You definitely have a rogue program or two, eating up your battery life. May i suggest factory resetting the phone, installing only the apps you need daily and then slowly adding everything back else. You will definitely notice what's causing issues.

    S7 Charging

    Based on long observed patterns, battery degradation has little to do with any kind of preset charging cycle. Each battery comes with an undefined no of cycles and after a point it all comes down how aggressively you use the phone, how often you charge it and how often it completes a cycle. An...

    Update from iPhone Users who switched

    Utterly redundant post. I am fully aware of this, having used iphones since the inception. Anyway i was merely pointing out imessage only dominates in the US market and everywhere else its imessage, not what its limitations are.

    Update from iPhone Users who switched

    Well it's hard to beat the implementation. Hangouts is a royal mess compared to facetime audio/video. Its just there. Hangouts needs a full re-design. The cloud like functionality of telegram and the ease of facetime calling.

    Update from iPhone Users who switched

    Heh. It's the reverse here. Whatsapp usage is so widespread, that very few even bother with imessage around here. We got a small group of around 80 users, and hardly anyone bothers responding on iMessage. In fact i discovered 4-5 friends had even disabled the damn service. iMessage and...
