My battery life has dropped quite a bit in the last few days and installed gsam. Was going to install ADB so it can give better stats but my question: is there any security risk in doing that? Any other risks? Will that impact performance?

Made the same switch as you (although I'm on T-Mobile). I'm happy that I switched. The display is gorgeous and much better than the HTC 10. I like the fact the auto-brightness actually works - I found it quite lacking on the HTC 10. The battery life is much better. I'm in the "I hate the FPS on...

Works great for me with my glasses. I have progressive lenses - not sure if that would make a difference or not. (Honestly, I would think that would make it less effective, but it works just fine with them.)

First impressions after three full days: Pros: • The screen is beautiful. • Performance is fast and fluid. No slow-downs or lags. We'll see how it performs over time. My previous phone, an HTC 10, was my first foray back into Android after several years of Windows phones and it never lagged...

I think I'd have to call it whiz-ardry if you're using it while in the bathroom. :D (Side question: I take it you are a Florida State fan? If so, if you can read the quote on the shirt in my picture, you'll know where I stand.)

It is frustrating. I've stopped using the Outlook mail app and have switched to Nine Mail for several reasons. First, I actually like the UI of it better than the MS Outlook app. Secondly, it does a two-way sync on contacts from the app (just double checked that) for both my personal and...

We have two individuals that are primarily responsible for the IT stuff. I mentioned it to one of them yesterday and he didn't seem to think rebooting the router would solve the issues but seemed open to it as long as we do it after hours. I was the one who added my Chromecast to the network as...

Thanks for the suggestions. I have cleared my cache and will give it another try. If that doesn't work, I may be out of luck on rebooting the router as it's the wifi at the office and I don't know if I'll be able to convince people to do that. It's a small company so they might go for it. It's...

My HTC 10 (running Nougat 7.0, T-Mobile) can't find my Chromecast using either the Google Home app or the HTC Connect app. Strangely enough, if I open an app that is cast enabled (such as YouTube), I can press the cast icon and it casts. I was hoping to use my phone to do a demo by casting the...

I installed it last week or maybe even the week before. Haven't noticed a difference in anything and it still says Android 7.0.

I've had nougat for a few weeks now since TMO rolled it out. Not had a single random restart. Probably doesn't help much, but thought I'd add my experience.

I tried the Thurrott.com approach and had issues. I posted this on the Thurrott.com forums. The outlook app has one way sync, so you'll get your contacts from outlook.com but you can't edit them. What I did (just yesterday) was to go to Settings-->Accounts & Sync. Chose add a new account. There...

I'm downloading now!

Unfortunately, if you've never used Google Maps, you don't really know what that means. Good to know how to turn it off!

That's exactly the info I was looking for. Not interested in converting it to a US unlocked. Thanks!
