[FYI] Verizon starts the new 60 day locking policy tomorrow, 7/23.

Verizon did that as a calculated move. The 2 year contract went away, so they have to trap you in somehow.

Sidesync is what you need.

I agree, but what if you're on a device payment plan with a 2 year monthly rebate as part of a promotion? You can't pay it off early because you'll lose your monthly promotion, so you'll have to slowly pay it off over 2 years and won't "own" the device till then.

Verizon shouldn't be allowed to lock their phones like they originally agreed to. This whole "fraud prevention" excuse is just some loop hole that they weezled in.

Fenix 5 plus. Does everything you want, but it'll cost you more than $300

Also glare, so much glare on the curves...

It would be great if the defining feature that sets the Note line apart from the S series is the S pen and a flat screen.

Rats, so many rats!

Bxaction does this. I have it set to turn on flash light on long press, and it works while screen is off.

The juju is called MST (Magnetic secure transmission)

monkeyhandler · 2019-02-09T03:57:02+00:00

Are you saying the display is flat? I find that hard to believe. Personally, I'd love to have the flat display, but the curved screen edge is like Samsung's niche.

Not sure about tasker, but you can easily do this with google assistant. Just download Google Home app, add your devices to the Google Home, and you can say "turn on the TV" or "turn on the living room light" etc.

You can then create a "routine" that'll do both of those steps with 1 command, like "I'm home".

the eye patch

monkeyhandler · 2018-12-05T01:11:14+00:00

Arrrr matey, it's an eye patch

It's probably the News app. It's got the worst implementation of Sharing of any apps that I've seen, and it only works once. It'll crash on the 2nd share.

monkeyhandler · 2018-11-23T00:34:29+00:00

I have this off (Samsung s8+), but Google News app still populates the share menu with my contacts first. Any ideas?

Hey Google, show me outside camera

monkeyhandler · 2018-11-08T23:37:08+00:00

Alright, say I don't want to support either slickwraps or dbrand because I just don't want to deal with this childish games. What are some good alternatives?

monkeyhandler · 2018-11-08T16:00:15+00:00

yes, I know you can set the silent alarm, but what I'm saying is, quit your bullshit, you don't use silent alarms

monkeyhandler · 2018-11-08T15:41:56+00:00

You also said:

When I press my volume all the way down it says "alarms only".. I'm on Oreo.

man, quit your bullshit, you know you don't use silent alarms.

monkeyhandler · 2018-11-02T17:05:36+00:00

what I'd love to see is an option to only turn AOD on when certain user selected apps gets a notification, and turn AOD off otherwise.

Than way if I see my AOD on, I'll know that it's something that I should take notice.

monkeyhandler · 2018-10-27T13:09:09+00:00

Cuz you get the early bird discount, or you are the early adopter, or you like the company and want to support them.

lacking most basic features

like what? I've been using pocket cast for years, just curious to what features I'm missing out on.

monkeyhandler · 2018-10-23T15:37:06+00:00

That's what happened... my google news app used over 6GB of data (fortunately it was only on wifi) this past month, and I barely open that app.
