    What's your current and 'ideal' monitor setup?

    It's changed a bit but I think it peaked when I still had my ThinkPad as my only PC. I had two old monitors hooked into a docking station for it so I could come home, drop it on the dock and boom - two displays and the whole desktop feel. The monitors are a 14" HP (1024x768) that's probably...

    Coolpad Splatter Community Review

    Coolpad Splatter Review No phone's an island. Coolpad may not be a brand that many people in the US are familiar with. Even those who’ve heard of it might just write it off as “some generic Chinese brand”, but like Huawei and Oppo, these are sizable players in mobile overseas without much of a...

    Shipping phone question

    I've done it a few times with no problem and I don't see how there can be any shipping hazards that would affect an applied screen protector but not a naked phone/protector by itself.

    Does OK Google work on your phone with the screen off?

    The wording changed in my case to cover for the functionality that was pulled. Which isn't unprecedented since I've seen "when charging" mentioned elsewhere for some phones but even plugged in with the screen off it no longer functions in my case.

    Does OK Google work on your phone with the screen off?

    Does OK Google work with your phone's display off? (either unplugged or charging) What phone and OS version? I ask because I've been bothered by the mysterious disappearance of the feature earlier this summer for me and I've only really seen some isolated device-specific discussions or...

    Moto Style Shell with Wireless Charging Review

    I have one that's allegedly 10W but as I think I said its rated as "charging slowly" but its always an overnight affair for me so... They're certainly handy. Some have complimented the floral print cover actually.

    Moto Style Shell with Wireless Charging Review

    Sorry for being a bit MIA folks, been a bit tied up with moving in and stuff! However today, my floral print version arrived and it's fit and finish feels much like the wood cover its replacing! While the design may seem more at home on a muu-muu, I think it's alright all things considered. I...

    Moto Style Shell with Wireless Charging Review

    Moto Style Shell with Wireless Charging Review (Grey Herringbone Nylon) TL;DR – Does the job perfectly but at $39.99, it's a tough sell for all except those who value wireless charging highly. The nylon version is slippery. CONTEXT Recently, I popped into Best Buy to pick up my first ever...

    Anybody going naked?

    I usually have my phones go naked, except I put on a glass screen protector when I can and my current Z Play follows that trend. Glass screen protectors always feel as nice to my fingers and I don't notice much difference other than knowing the display's got an extra couple millimeters of...

    I'm scared that my S8 might be a fake.

    Maybe you can throw in the IMEI into an ESN checker like on Swappa. It should come back as an S8 for such a famous phone. My prototype HP wasn't in the list but the ESN still checked so if no model comes back...
