    What is the best way to send video without compression?

    My frustration as well, which has kept me on the iOS platform as well. After years of my family and I using iMessage to send full quality videos, there's no alternative that I have found. Sending a link from YouTube is great and all, but not if the person on the other end would like to add that...

    Why haven't you switched to iPhone?

    May I ask why? I ask seriously in that I'm a long-time iPhone user who is thinking of switching to Android.

    Just bought the Note 4 - Yeah, it's August 2016!

    Yes, that's our biggest worry. We've already fallen into the iMessage hole even though we turned off iMessage, FaceTime and deregulate red manually. Individual text messages are fine but group messaging is a disaster. We are having to contact everyone who has us in a group iMessage and have them...

    Just bought the Note 4 - Yeah, it's August 2016!

    Thanks for all of the great replies. Yeah, I think the biggest transition will be getting out from the iMessage and FaceTime portion of the Apple ecosystem. I know there are plenty of alternatives to choose from, but it's getting my aging in-laws and some friends on board, who own nothing but...

    Just bought the Note 4 - Yeah, it's August 2016!

    My wife and I found a stellar deal (under $400 each) on 2 new-in-box Note 4 International editions (SM-N910C) with the Exynos processor. We actually tried the Note 5's last year when they came out but decide to stick with our iPhone 6's at the time. As time wore on, we started to get the itch...

    Favorite Security method for Lock Screen?

    Thanks, I think I just might do that. I am interested to see what the new Z line brings. If anything, the MXPE will drop in price if I ultimately decide to forgo the requirement for a fingerprint scanner.

    Favorite Security method for Lock Screen?

    Hi, I'm seriously considering the Moto C Pure, coming from an iPhone 6. One thing I'm concerned about is missing Touch ID for managing quick unlocking of the phone. Any suggestions (outside of smart lock) that you prefer to manage unlocking your device quickly and efficiently? I'm watching out...

    HTC 10 going back, I'm going to iOS

    Word up on all fronts. I am exactly the same, as I love Android, yet get frustrated...but usually because most of my family and friends are so ingrained in the Apple ecosystem that I feel I'm out of touch without iMessage and FaceTime. I still can't wait to see the new Moto X (or is it Z) line...

    HTC 10 going back, Note 5 on order

    Looks fantastic. Is this your current daily driver? I think what keeps driving me back to iOS is that a boatload of family and friends use iMessage and FaceTime with me, which doesn't make the switch to Android very easy. I wish Apple would publish these apps in Google Play already...I know...

    HTC 10 going back, I'm going to iOS

    In response to why I try different phones: - A love of technology is what drives me.

    HTC 10 going back, I'm going to iOS

    I, too, tried the HTC 10. You and I seem to have very similar thoughts and history with Android/iOS. I started with the T-Mobile MyTouch 3G, which I believe was the 2nd Android phone out there. I loved that thing...I moved to the iPhone 3GS and never looked back until the Note 3 line came out...

    "I've ordered my Nexus 6P" (Order & Shipping Discussion)

    My Carbon Nexus 6P case has been pending for about 5 days now and I just noticed a charge of 37.88, the same price as the case, with tax. Oddly, the transaciton description is :GOOGLE *Wang Chao" Anyone else see this? The original ship date was Nov 2 - 4.
