    Where are the updates? No 7.1?

    Anyone know where the 7.1 Android update is for this phone?

    Perhaps it is time to retire the 10 and get something new....?

    My oldest who went off to college took the Nexus 10 with her for netflix, and such. She reported that the tablet no longer can connect to the school WiFi for some reason, but when she can home, it connected to the house WiFi just perfectly. Also she said that it was slow for some reason...

    Is it possible or likely....

    In light of all the new revelations regarding the wiretapping of Trump, and the Wikileaks iPhone issues, I wonder if anything can really be secure?

    The "10" might just be my last HTC and Android phone.

    I love my expandable storage, and consider it a necessity. A Pixel type phone with micro sd slot would be very nice. I love the all metal slabs that the M series have been, and the size is perfect (4.7-5.2") NO BIGGER.

    Is it possible or likely....

    I completely agree, but I get a chuckle out of Internet conspiracy theories.

    You going to get a BlackBerry KEYone?

    Re: You going to get a BlackBerry Mercury? I need to see and hold it, and know what the specs are before I can decide on a purchase.

    Is it possible or likely....

    I posted this over on Crackberry, but I like this forum better. Saw it posted somewhere else, and now I cannot find it again, some guy posted an article that TCL (A chinese company in China...) is allowing Chinese Intelligence agencies to place monitoring software in the new BB phones that are...

    The "10" might just be my last HTC and Android phone.

    I love my 10, but in the office, where cell reception sucks, my supervisors Samsung S5 gets reception in one tiny area on top of a filing cabinet most of the time. The iPhone gets signal 60% of the time, the HTC...dead air. The Pixel is an option, I love Android, but I don't want a phablet, I...

    The "10" might just be my last HTC and Android phone.

    I like the M10, I really do. I am just a little frustrated with HTC making bad decisions. The "U" is either too big, or too underpowered with too many compromises. I might do a google Pixel (gen 2+) when I decide to upgrade in a year or two, but most likely I will end up with an iPhone. I...

    Eating Crow, just got an ASUS Chromebook flip

    I got my longevity pay at work (23 years worth). The HP laptop normally goes for $499, but Best Buy had it on for $349 so I got it. The Macbook was purchased from a guy who had bought it, and hated it, so he (actually his wife) got rid of it for under $1,000. I had enough money left over to...

    Eating Crow, just got an ASUS Chromebook flip

    Well instead of the Lenovo I got an HP 13.3" 360 laptop, installed Mint 18 on it, and it blows the Chromebook away. Then I got a MacBook Pro and it is even better. My low opinion of the Chromebooks has been if anything, reinforced.

    Nougat

    Battery life does seem better, At the end of three days I had 16% when I got home last night. I don't use the phone a lot, so YMMV.

    Sense Home Ads?

    Oh wait, I have seen some ads in my notification bar. Really pissed me off, and I thought I had turn off all notifications from apps. I went back in and turned them off again.

    Nougat

    Things seem ok so far. Battery life seems stable, I don't see much of a difference right now, but I will give it two or three days longer. Remember to delete per Shuyun's instructions on clearing cache in Play store: Settings > Apps> Google Play store > Storage > clear Cache. Do the same for...
