[Nexus 5X Accessories] roachkazy:
I don't know if you all have seen Magnetic Type-C Cables in the wild, but they look quite cool. I was wondering if anyone has one that they would suggest, amazon seems a little shaky on the subject.

I have been looking at this one - https://goo.gl/WnJp7o

Anyone else have any suggestions?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] crazyates:
It's probably only USB 2.0 speeds judging by the looks of it. It's def an interesting idea!
[Nexus 5X Accessories] neth15:
AFAIK our N5X uses USB 2.0 either. On the other hand, when buying USB Type-C cables, I prefer being futureproof - I would go for standard, 3.1 one.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] crazyates:
I thought all USB-C ports were 3.1? I have a USB-A to USB-C cable that is USB 2.0, but that's an aftermarket cable, and everything just down-grades, but I believe the port on the phone itself is 3.1? Does that make sense?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] neth15:
Hey, if cable can be USB 2.0, why not the port itself? :)

Take a look here:

http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_nexus_5x-7556.php

AFAIK Google and LG opted for USB Type-C port in Nexus 5X only for higher charging current (3A vs 2A on standard microUSB), so it got faster charging without much effort. But God knows why they used older USB 2.0 specification.

USB 2.0 specs are also the reason why e.g. video output isn't supported.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] panthers89fan90:
Hello,

Has anyone compared charging times between QuickCharge charger and using a USB-C to USB-C cable charger?

The reason I ask, is because QuickCharge doesn't seem to be all that fast. Plus, when I had my Nexus 6p on the charger using straight USB-C, it seemed to charge really fast. Wondering if I should use my Nexus USB-C charger or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] peachpuff:
The s8 doesn't really support usb-c power delivery, it has its own adaptive charging running at 15watts(9v*1.67v). You will probably get around 10 watts tops using any other charging method.

I'd have thought this was the No1 Need-to-have app, and i can see a lot of people requesting this in different forums, but no luck yet finding it.

Can someone help me with my eager search to find an app to control the Samsung S8 phone and put it in DND mode just as easy as the watch is able to put itself in DND mode.

Will pay finders fee, or even developers fee to come up with it.

Maybe the wrong place - but can I visit or get to the S3 Gear Shop on my computer using a browser. It would be easier to read and certainly easier search for things like the OP requested. On my phone, the text/fonts in the Gear App/shop are thin and wispy and harder to reader.

Download Samsung Sidesync to phone and PC. Allows you to display and use the phone on computer monitor. Haven't used it much but seems to work on initial start up
[Samsung Gear S3] fred2546:
Don't you need a Samsung phone to use Sidesync? I don't have a Samsung phone. I guess I can see if it works.
[Samsung Gear S3] Olie426:
It will most likely require a Samsung phone. How are you going to the Galaxy App store?
[Samsung Gear S3] fred2546:
I am using my Android Blackberry Priv and the Gear app. S-health works fine on the phone - it is readable and reasonable (although I would not mine a full size desktop access module).

That phone works but the fonts used in displaying Gear Watch apps are thin, light and wispy making it hard to read. Also, when I read reviews or comments on apps in my browser on computer, I would like to be able to quickly look at the info and not have to pull out my phone and struggle to read the poor fonts on the phone.

Control phone from gear s3

Instal Tasker on your phone and tasks2 on your gear. In tasker it is possible to control almost any thing on your phone. I suggest you do a search for correct instructions on setup. It is not difficult as I have done it, if only I could remember exactly how.
[Samsung Gear S3] the_scotsman:
This is the best way to do what you want. Tasker has a bit of a learning curve, but it's the best app available for Android.

[Moto G4 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] zeomal:
Request the app developers to update the app. It's a rather problematic app that has been causing issues for this device on Nougat based ROMs.

An alternative that often works is to backup (via Titanium Backup) the app on another ROM (usually stock), and then restore it after giving all permissions.

There is no other way known.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] lakshaypatney:
Hi,

As you guys can see from the screenshots, upon restart, my S7 Edge is showing uninstalled apps for around 10 seconds. Also, these show up only when I choose the app drawer option on the home screen settings, they don't appear when I choose to keep the setting in which all apps are on the home screen.

I updated to Nougat.

Is anyone facing the issue?

Thanks in advance.
[Moto Maxx General] Shooting Star Max:
Honestly, if I had the money, I would replace my Quark with a OnePlus 3T. I won't give up the possibility of using custom ROMs with devices with uncertain development capability. Still, I am very happy with my Quark (which will soon turn 2 years old), even though its speaker is busted (it sounds like crap).
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
I just can't downgrade to 1080p and give up Qi wireless charging. Also the OnePlus 3T has the proprietary "dash charge". :rolleyes: I have many QuickCharge wall-plug chargers as well as dual port car chargers. I also have several Qi wireless charging pads. I'm not throwing those away.

To me OnePlus is a company who is almost "major" league like LG, Samsung, Motorola -- but not quite. When they offer a phone with at least 1440p AMOLED, I'll know they are serious. All the "major" companies have offered 1440p since 2014 -- Motorola wasn't even the first. LG did it in early 2014 with the LG G3.

There's at least a dozen "budget" Chinese companies releasing 5.5" 1080p slabs. :rolleyes: Look at the specs of the OnePlus 3 or even OnePlus 3T vs the ZTE Axon 7. ZTE stood out by offering top tier specs for the same budget price. The ZTE Axon 7 on paper makes OnePlus 3T look like a loser. Comparing all the hardware specs. Where ZTE lost is their firmware, but usually that can be fixed with custom ROMs.
[Moto Maxx General] zys52712:
Well, the OnePlus 3T has a better processor, bigger battery and much better community support.
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
Not much better processor, 821 vs 820 only because it's updated version of the OnPlus 3 (820). If ZTE had released a end-of-year update, it too would be 821.

You are comparing a newer phone (November 2026) to an older phone (May 2016).

And slightly bigger battery for the 3T, 3400mAh v 3250mAh (Axon 7). The original 3 had 3000 mAh (June 2016) which is SMALLER than the AXON 7. And the original 3 had the same 820 as the AXON 7.

The other Axon 7 hardware specs still blow OnePlus 3 or 3T away.

OnePlus 3T vs OnePlus 3 vs ZTE Axon 7

http://www.phonearena.com/phones/co...us-3,ZTE-Axon-7/phones/10313,10017,10068?ft=2

(they don't list it but there's also a 128GB/6GB RAM ZTE Axon 7 model for U.S. now)

Why didn't amateur OnePlus put in 1440p or fantastic DAC with front facing stereo speakers in their 3T "update"? ;) 534ppi vs 401 pppi.

All top tier phones by LG, Samsung, Motorola, Sony, Huawei, etc have 1440p. Even Apple is going to 1440p AMOLED this year! Until you have that, you are mid-tier spec only. I've had 1440p AMOLED since 2014 and I'm NOT going to downgrade to 1080p.

Maybe ONEPLUS will step up and deliver top tier specs with the OnePlus 5. We'll see.
[Moto Maxx General] Septfox:
That Nokia 9 though, unfh. I like the look of it more than the probably-vaporware Droid 3 renders.

...unfortunately, it looks like it's going to be GSM-only, which sadly still isn't an option where I live. No Verizon CDMA+LTE, no deal : \

Regarding wireless charging, apparently the holdup for a while was that manufacturers were moving towards metal case backs, which kind of gets in the way. Qualcomm announced way back that they had solved the problem, but I guess they never actually did anything with what they figured out.

Given that metal backs are SO yesterday and glass backs are the current fad, I expect that wireless charging will make more of a comeback in the coming year.

I wonder if it's possible to grab the wireless coil from a US LG G6 and stick it into an international version, to get the best of both worlds...I would expect they use a similar, if not the same, mainboard.

OnePlus 5 Fresh Leaks

http://playfuldroid.com/oneplus-5-f...der-3600-mah-battery-6-gb-ram-128-gb-storage/

1080p in 2017? On a flagship phone? Fail. Even laggard Apple is going to 1440p and they stay YEARS behind top tier Androids!

All major manufacturers since 2014 have offered 1440p. Even ZTE with the Axon 7 offers 1440p. Thus, OnePlus wants to stay in middle school, not play on the varsity team.

Also, no mention of Qi wireless, so another fail.

But not really a surprise. I don't hold a high opinion of OnePlus, not sure why everyone else drinks the Kool-Aid. The whole "never settle" crap motto, when I see PLENTY of hardware spec compromises.

It's the best of the "mid-tier" phones. Won't even be as good as Apple this year, and LOTS of Androids (even mid-tier) normally have better specs than Apple!

In 2014:

In 2016:

______

But some of that "2018" stuff, Apple will reportedly get a year "earlier" -- in 2017! 1440p, Qi wireless charging... But OnePlus users still won't have it!

:rolleyes:
[Moto Maxx General] Watevah:
Why are you so hung up on wireless charging? I find it slow and rubbish, and the only thing it excels at is overheating my phone.
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
ASK APPLE WHY THEY ARE GOING TO IT? Because it's very useful.

You're not forced to use it you don't want. But I've had it since 2013 on two different phones and it's very convenient. My wife and I use it every day. Walk in, put the phone down. Pick the phone up, walk away.

It's not either/or. You can also plug in when necessary.

It's a premium feature I will insist upon having. Like 1440p.
[Moto Maxx General] Watevah:
Yeah, well it's not like anyone is forcing me to use it, just want to find out why people prefer using it. I have a samsung Qi charger lying on my desk for a few months now and I'm almost ready to bin the useless thing. I think it's the first gen charger. Do the newer models have improved power output, at least?
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
There is research being done so the new gen Qi wi-fi is faster, but I don't really care about that. I've been using this feature since my 2013 LG Nexus 5 and now on my 2014 Moto XT1225 (both me and my wife), and it's great just as it is. Sure, if you want to make it faster, fine.

I use the triple coil tilt ones so I can see notifications easily. Keep two in the living room, two in the bedroom. Even a couple at my mom's house, so we can use them when we visit.

It's not about speed, it's convenience. By the time we need to leave the house, they're charged. If you're going to put your phone down somewhere, it can be charging AND you can still see your notifications.

A friend of mine uses one at his office. The tilt charger lets him see his notifications, and if he has a meeting, just grab it and go.

The major stress on a phone is the constant plugging/unplugging/plugging/unplugging. Qi wireless charging prevents some of that stress.

Yeah, if I need to charge quickly I use any of the QuckCharge 2.0 chargers I have on hand. I even have dual port car chargers for me and my wife.

So, I'm not against plugging in, when necessary. Again it's not either/or. You can use both as needed.

But Apple is going to Qi wireless charging for their 1440p AMOLED phone, so they finally understand the nice convenience factor.

And I will have to find some more features Apple iPhone doesn't have to bash them, because they're about to take my two favorites -- 1440p AMOLED and Qi wireless charging...

I just won't buy a phone without either feature now that I've had them.

Essential FIH-PM1

One phone to add to the 2017 top-tier smartphone watch list now that OnePlus has struck out.

The mystery Andy Rubin "Essential" FIH-PM1 phone. Yes, the Andy Rubin who created a little start-up called Android and sold it to Google...

THAT Andy Rubin. He left Google in 2014, started a hardware company called "Essential" and is releasing a premier Android smartphone coming out this year.

The man who CREATED Android is now creating an Android smartphone.

This is the only CONFIRMED image of the phone, because that's Andy Rubin's hand holding the phone. ;)

Someone THINKS

this may be a prototype that showed up in a recent Michelin commercial

because no other phones out right now have that combination of bezel-less look, and placement of ports. Not sure why it would show up in a tire commercial -- and in the commercial the volume buttons are on the wrong side -- so that's why I said the only CONFIRMED image is the one in his hand above.

Leaked specs are 5.5", 1440p, Snapdragon 835, 4GB RAM. Bezel-less display. 3.5mm headset jack (because he's NOT stupid). Also ceramic back -- which gives clue it might have Qi wireless charging.

Look at the size difference in the LG V30 vs the Pixel XL2:

http://www.nashvillechatterclass.com/google-pixel-2-xl-noticeably-larger-lg-v30-good/35492/

with Quark for size comparison:

But if you want to read through the specs differences, here you go:

SPECS: QUARK vs LG V30 vs PIXEL 2 XL

This year especially brought a lot of changes. One year to the next, not so much. But cumulatively, 3 years, it adds up.

For instance, cameras....

Aperture size (smaller is better)

Quark: F2.0

LG V30: F1.6

Pixel 2 XL: F1.8

Hardware Features

Quark: Autofocus

LG V30: Dual-camera (13-megapixel, 120-degree viewing angle, F1.9 aperture), Optical image stabilization, Autofocus (Laser, Phase detection)

Pixel 2 XL: Optical image stabilization, Autofocus (Laser, Phase detection)

Motorola should have included rear camera OIS on our Quarks like they did the Motorola Nexus 6. That remains a sore point with me. I had it on my 2013 LG Nexus 5, and it was on the 2014 Moto Nexus 6 -- so it's not like Motorola didn't know how to do it. (Motorola was owned by Google at the time of design of both the Quark and the Moto Nexus 6.) By late 2014, rear camera OIS was a standard feature of premium phones and the Quark was a premium phone.

And while dual cameras is not necessary, it's nice to be able to choose between wide angle lens or normal for certain shots.

Torn Between LG V30 and Google Pixel 2 XL? Me Too…

I've already made up my mind, but interesting article.
[Moto Maxx General] Hlcpereira:
LG really do a great work with the V30, but I'm still afraid to buy a LG device, especially because of the LG G3(d855), LG G4 and LG G5/G5SE. G3 had problems with the battery, some many cases, G4 bootloop and burn-in and G5SE (here at Brazil LG G5 didn't arrived) had problems with burn-in, and as far as I know G5 had problems with bootloop too. Maybe next year I'll give a chance for LG (I really like the LG UX, but with all these problems...)

If I had to choice or LG V30 or Pixel 2 XL, probably I'll choice Pixel 2 XL.
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:

[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:

It’s irresponsible for a $949 Google Pixel 2 XL phone to lack wireless charging

Especially since Apple is FINALLY now including it on ALL its phones.
[Moto Maxx General] NepoRood:
Yes, you could have, lol.

The Gooble really let me down with the Pixel 2 (both of them), I'd been looking forward to the "Official Announcement" for quite some time. Hoping against all odds that the "rumors" weren't true, but, alas...

Now, my wait for a new device continues. I'm not going to make a decision on the V30 until I can put my hands on one, which means I'll go to Verizon or T-mobile and play with a demo first ;)

I've got plenty of time, my 6P is a solid device, and running my own custom Oreo build, so no worries there. I just want a new toy, lol
[Moto Maxx General] jco23:
in the FWIW department, I converted my wife's iPhone7 to wireless charging. just got a wireless pad, battery, and slapped a pretty pink case around it - and BAM, her phone charges on a Qi pad (she stole my 3-coil pad, so I'm stuck on the single coil one). but I would presume that the same is possible for android devices??????
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
I've been very active in the LG V30 forum. If you care about rooting your new toy, you need to

read this

and in that post follow the link mentioned to read the longer post.

Short version: none of the carrier-branded LG V30 phones will have root, even T-mobile's.

You will need the official "carrier unlocked" versions, either U.S. or European. (In your case, of course U.S.) Those are the ones that are added to the LG bootloader unlock list, much like Motorola's bootloader unlock list.

What LG has done with the carrier-branded versions is remove all the ADB flash commands, so even if you unlock the bootloaders (like on the T-mobile LG G6 and LG V30) you can't do anything after that. Go read that post and follow the trail. No need to retype everything here. ;)

In one of the posts I even quote [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION], so you know it's the truth.

Read this page if you REALLY want information:

https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/help/unlock-bootloader-root-t3665927/page12

Some guy put the T-mobile LG V30 through ADB tests after "unlocking" the bootloader to prove to himself nothing else could be done.
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
Yes, it can be done... but it's not built-in Qi wireless. If it's the hack I'm thinking of, it plugs up your charging port to charge your phone with the coil attached to the back of your phone. If you do use your charging port -- like to plug into your PC to transfer files or to plug into an actual quickcharge charger -- you have to pull that cable out of the port?

It's better than nothing, and that's what iPhone users had to use until now. Kudos to you for doing that for your wife. I am not saying anything bad about your attempt to help your wife -- except why do you let her even have an iPhone? :p

But I would prefer built-in. The good thing about Apple moving to Qi is NEXT year, everybody and their brother will have Qi wireless in their phones, just like everyone is removing headset jacks -- because Apple did it. :cool:
[Moto Maxx General] jco23:
Correct.

Got her iPhone just because they work all the time and I won't have to tinker with it too much.

I like to manipulate my toys, so I got Android.

But yes, plugging the port is the lone drawback. But given that iPhone connects wirelessly to our PC, it doesn't matter.

But otherwise, I agree that it's better to be built in.
[Moto Maxx General] NepoRood:
I am aware of which device to buy for unlocking, I read a lot myself ;)

The only reason for going to a mobile carrier is to actually touch the device first. As I stated earlier, either in this thread or another, the LG G6 felt "flimsy" to me, and I had no interest in it, solely because of that factor.

If the V30 doesn't feel right in my hand, I won't buy it, period, I don't care what kind of features it has, lol. Also, a friend of mine found This yesterday, so gonna have to see what that's all about too...
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
Nothing I would care about, has been discussed for two months in the ZTE forums. Snapdragon 820, 1080p.

Evan Bass, September 5 but discussed in forum long before then:

https://venturebeat.com/2017/09/05/dual-screen-zte-axon-multy-unfolds-into-a-6-8-inch-slab/

We're waiting for ZTE AXON 9 and ZTE is putting out stuff like this?

It's because they got a new company president (former head of North America ZTE) who allegedly make them redesign the successor to the AXON 7, when he took over in April. He wanted zero bezel, etc. They're going to skip the "8" number and go straight to 9.

So this is all they have right now in the pipeline to put out.

I was invited to help beta test it, maybe travel to their U.S. headquarters, but I never filled out the questionnaire. Just started a new job so can't take time off. One guy said he did talk to them but he thinks they didn't like his answers. They kept asking questions about multi-tasking and he kept wanting to talk about the ways to make the Axon 7 better.
