That's totally a valid point, but I think Google might see a larger value proposition given HTC's current financials and that could make them very attractive. It's all about control and Google seems to like that. In house manufacturing being leveraged for phones and all other devices like Nest...

I think you should hold off for the Pixel XL. You mentioned price and support, but two things on that: 1. The XL will hold good (for a phone) resale value in two years time. There's always going to be a market for one even if the next latest and greatest (or two) come out. These devices...

Just a thought... if the Pixel is successful, Google buys HTC. Yes, I realize they bought and sold Motorola, but this feels different. Moto was kept as a separate company as Google didn't want to directly compete with partners at the time and said as much. With Pixel now they're doing just...

I returned my device (for the 2nd time) to Best Buy. Mine was an outright purchase, so it was easier that they didn't have to contact the carrier. That said, the guy I was dealing with was dumber than a block. I don't know if it was his first week or what, but the first thing he told me was...

Short term, back to rockin' my Note 3 after getting a new battery for it. Long term, iPhone 7+ 128GB Matte Black. I absolutely loved my Note 7 as well as my Note 5 (which my wife now has). I really like and prefer Android as well as it's superior to IOS in many regards, but I'm going to take...

Re: Note 7 ban on flights I would keep contacting Samsung US and not hanging up until you've talked to someone who can give you some sort of response. Don't take no or "I don't know" for an answer. Call them, tweet them, post on their Facebook -- whatever you can do. If you paid for it via...

Re: Best Buy Returns? This will definitely be the last phone and very likely last product I'll buy from Best Buy under any circumstance ever again. They could make this situation right and are willfully doing there best not to. .

Best Buy Returns? I know it's early, but has Best Buy said anything about returns of replacement Note 7's? I exchanged my 1st one on 9/21 and past the 14 day period. I think it's becoming obvious another recall is likely. If AT&T pulls the phone I don't think it's unreasonable that updates...

Swapped out my phone tonight... had to go to two different stores to find a black model for AT&T. Ironically, both had silver models which people seem to be looking for. Exchange was very easy, only about 15 minutes since mine was full purchase and AT&T didn't have to be involved. I tried to...

Finally got an email from Best Buy after having registered: Recently Samsung announced a battery issue with the Galaxy Note7 smartphone. We are working with Samsung to get new Note7s into our stores, and we are prioritizing customers like you who have purchased Note7s from Best Buy. Our primary...

I know this is a massive recall, but pretty disappointed with how Best Buy is handling the communication of it. Pretty much just "Go here, put in your email address and wait for us to contact you." We should have received something by now even if it's just a confirmation that they received our...

Would have been nice if you let the rest of us know about it! ;)

I checked today and saw that Good Lock is officially available in the Galaxy Apps Store for the Note 7. I've been waiting for it and saw in other posts others were too. Installing and testing now.

I really love my Note 5, but if the N7 is indeed an edge variety it'll likely be my last Note device. The 'edge' feature brings nothing to the table for me and I dislike the way it holds in hand. I could get used to it I'm sure, but there's far too many other great options out there. The...

"Once installed from your home screen, swipe down twice go to the settings of Good Lock (its the widget with the circle around it). Go to Routines, then Default. Set your clock, then set your background color. Swipe all the way to the left for the dark themes. Then press and hold on the octagon...
