What distances and what sizes?

You think defining variables isn't important?

What kind of scientist are you exactly?

I'm genuinely curious.

Distances measured and size of that being viewed is a huge factor. Can most people see a ten foot billboard at a distance of ten feet?

How about a ten inch one from ten feet?

If you don't get this you should study more

[Nexus 6P General] unconfuse:
Looks like this thread needs a little pruning.

As far as another phone goes I was really thinking of the one plus but I'm not sure I can handle replacement phones when it will ultimately fail. This 6p has been frustrating. My boot loop is death and my replacement has battery issues and that replacement right out of the box the speaker grill fell off. I can't get on board this pixel brand at all. Considering the cost per longevity of all the premium phones who else is consider just buying a lesser spec device? Maybe if I spend 300 usd on a phone instead off 700 it won't sting so bad when it falls apart. Lol
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
I've considered getting a low price no name brand phone. You can find a lot of decent specced ones (doogee for example).

More just to play around with. As much as I hate Samsungs update policies, their phones are well made I'll give them that. The price though... Ouch
[Nexus 6P General] Visionguru:
The true limit of human retina resolution is about 20/8 or 20/6.

I have had a few patients resolve letters to this level after we corrected the higher order aberrations. After 30+ years in practice, I can attest to the fact that 20/10 vision is achieved by a very small minority.

[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
Thank you for the info. I read about 1%, is that around your approximation?

Lol first post ever huh
[Nexus 6P General] richii0207:
More than that but not that many because of aging and pathology . Photoreceptor density is what limits spatial frequency which is VA (eg 20/20, 20/6). Aside from that, there are other reasons why such as media opacities seen in cataracts and corneal pathologies, neuropathology, or directly affecting the macula (Central vision area on retina) such as age-related macular degeneration. Another reason is that optometrist generally refract patients to 20/20 and prescribe Rx for that.

Wasn't trying to pick a fight with you, just basically wanted to inform you that there are a number of those that can appreciate the extra resolution. At near and far, spatial frequency capacity does not change unless you are becoming presbyopic(unable to accommodate anymore, meaning you cannot focus at near because of weakened cilary body), binocular, or accommodation issues. Those are corrected generally by wearing glasses or therapy.
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
Every site I've read said 1% or so.

The number of people that can truly notice a very visible difference is so small that it is nearing non existence.

In my initial comment I did state that it was hardly noticeable and overblown and I do stand by that.

Thank you for the info however, it is extremely interesting stuff.

Where I really agree with you is vr application. There it is extremely important for sure.
[Nexus 6P General] richii0207:
Glad you found it interesting! Check out the Ames illusion if you want to see a fascinating manipulation on size/distance. [youtube]hCV2Ba5wrcs[/youtube]. It's off-topic but since you find the subject interesting, I thought you would find it a fun watch!

Thank you I've always been interested in that stuff. Especially optical illusions and things like that.
[Nexus 6P General] Zorachus:
I thought this thread was supposed to be about your next phone after the 6P ?
[Nexus 6P General] richii0207:
It's such a brief question from the OP that more information is bound to be tied with it. :P

But to be honest, there's a new thread asking the same question every week too so it's been answered many times to the point where we are just critiquing upcoming devices.

Looking forward to what Google offers in the Pixel 2, especially since Google has been asking Pixel users on their forums what they think could be improved upon. But as of now, the Pixel devices are a solid start to a new device line.

It's just really difficult justifying a +$500 purchase for a device that is only an incremental upgrade. I've noticed that since the SD 600, devices have been very fluid and essential are able to do everything I need to be done. But that's just my opinion.
[Nexus 6P General] murso74:
If I can hold out long enough, I'll probably get the new note through att. Would be my first subsidized phone in 6 years

My 6p is all but useless right now. It's about half a year old, I wiped it a month ago because of performance issues, and can't get more than 3 hours out of it. Burns like a mofo while it's running.
[Nexus 6P General] g3m1n1:
This is a tough call, because I have become so accustomed to how easy it is to use TWRP to root the Nexus devices. Even though the only thing I use root for now is AdAway and Titanium Backup, the thought of going back to non-ad-blocked Android is nauseating. I tried it for a day and was just disgusted by how intrusive and pervasive the ads are now. I know this process became more difficult on the Pixel, but will it be worse on the Pixel 2? If there is no headphone jack I definitely won't buy it. The last thing we all need is another tiny, wireless device powered by a tinier battery, seriously.

BTW in case some of you folks forgot, opinions (even when written under the guise of "tech review") are like assholes, we all have one and they all stink. Civilized people are capable of expressing their own opinions with being a jerk about it.

I just got my battery change and my performance issues and 3hr SOT has now gotten back to 6hr. You might want to explore changing the battery as a viable option.
[Nexus 6P General] pizza_pablo:
What's wrong with it, that can't be fixed?

If it's catastrophic, can't it be sent in for an RMA?
[Nexus 6P General] Rashad83:
The N6p was my first Nexus device to use, the freedom to have different customization choices for the Nexus and pixel devices provided by developers, and monthly updates you can't match that experience from any Smartphone brand out there.

Look the fact is no matter how good the device is from the hardware side, it always boils down to the software support and for how long and how frequent are the updates.

If I can afford to have multiple devices, then your question wouldn't be relevant simply because you can always own the greatest device at the time and keep changing it. But to own one device and say for a minimum of 2 years with monthly updates then hands down the only two options you have are from Alphabet and Apple.

I haven't owned an iPhone device yet and I have been considering making the jump with the anticipated iPhone 8, but in whole honesty I don't see any advantages of owning an iOS device over Android infact it would be a downgrade.

So the only choice left is the Pixel 2 but only if it comes with dual speakers I can't see myself owning a device without one if not I will consider waiting for the Pixel 3 or getting Samsung Note 8 if it comes with dual speakers.
[Nexus 6P General] beren:
i totally agree, if you like to be able to choose between lots of roms, mods and try the last android release (even months before the official release with DP) it's difficult to find another device that gives you the same feeling of a Nexus/Pixel.

I really love my 6P beside the size/screen ratio, and the soc that becomes very hot in this months....after more than one year and half the battery sucks so i am going to wait for pixel 2 release to see if will be a "cheap" version and if they will release something officially in my country. If no i am ready to replace the battery on the 6P and go ahead for another year.
[Nexus 6P General] RojasTKD:
Depends of what you consider "cheap". Probably be priced similar to the original Pixels ($650 & $750) if not more.
[Nexus 6P General] beren:
yeah depends if google will release worldwide (import taxes and international shipping increase price), if the price will drop after a while and if will be a "fair" change between dollar and euro....

i am not going to pay more than 500 euros for a smartphone, the same i paid to buy my 6p on november 2015 (was on sale on amazon), obviously it's ok to wait some time for a reasonable price drop or offer...begin of 2018...
[Nexus 6P General] zerosource:
I bought OnePlus 5 and came back to use 6p. Probably have to wait for pixel 2.
[Nexus 6P General] NepoRood:
First, I'm on Verizon, and there's no changing that. All the "other" carriers in my area completely suck for coverage, VZW works everywhere. However, we did just get a T-Mobile...

I had my Motorola Droid Turbo for almost 3 years, it shipped with KK, and actually got 2 updates from VZW (KK>LP>MM). It was a great phone, until it committed suicide, and I could make my own updates ;)

After it died, I grabbed a Pixel XL. The S8 just seemed to "skinny" for my taste, and the G6 just felt "flimsy". After not being able to unlock the VZW Pixel (didn't figure I'd be able to, but I had to have a phone immediately), I ordered a 6P and returned the Pixel.

All that being said, I'm looking at:

1) Pixel 2

2) Essential

3) Motorola?
[Nexus 6P General] pvtjoker42:
Also a verizon user, but from the leaks we've see for the pixel xl 2, made by LG.. i'll pass.. I'd have jumped on a oneplus 5 if they ever bothered to include cdma bands for vzw compatibility.

I still don't get why ALL phones aren't unlocked and universal.. the 6p is the perfect example that the technology is there and works great, just the carriers and manufacturers being lame..
[Nexus 6P General] Prey521:
Why would you upgrade and then downgrade again?
[Nexus 6P General] zerosource:
OP5 doesn't meet my expectation for its price range. The camera is sub-par. The 6P has better camera. The flaw in design engineer that created the jelly effect on display is unacceptable for reputable phone maker. I felt dizzy when reading through text and website on OP5.

I'm looking forward to my new S8. I'm not a fan of Samsung. It's just because they actually made what consumer wants and not just a marketing gimmick.
[Nexus 6P General] NeoS:
I'm reaching the point where my 6P is not fulfilling it's daily tasks anymore; the battery just won't hold out all day. I recently sent it in for repairs (bootloop issue) and Huawei just fixed that, but left the old battery, which is near death, basically.

Anyway, after reading this: https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/theory-rant-qualcomm-snapdragon-808-810-t3653738 and thinking about it, I'm done with Qualcomm's bull**** and don't want a Snapdragon chipset in my next device. Also, I think I will miss the Nexus' clean software and updating timelines, but I just want a good piece of hardware that works and KEEPS working for the money I spend on it.

So, I'm afraid since I'm in Europe, I'm stuck with Samsung. :(
[Nexus 6P General] tech_head:
You really only have three choices the make sense.

Samsung (Exynos)

Qualcomm

Apple

Pick your poison.

I would probably go with a Qualcomm device.

I don't like Samsung's design or KNOX for various reasons.

I don't like Apple phones for the same reasons, I don't like KNOX.

HTC or LG with a good warranty.

I will never buy another Huawei device.

They just don't know how to handle warranty claims.

I'm glad I had Nexus Protect.

[Nexus 6P General] zedmarcus:
I've now given my 6P to my wife and am using her old LG G4. Hopefully something soon will take my eye so I can update. (Although surprisingly, the LG G4 running AICP is not a bad combination really).

I'm looking into the Essential phone (but heard it won't work fully on Verizon) and the Pixel XL 2. Hopeful that one of them will be good.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Nightcatfisher:
I have given up on customizing Android and flashed stock firmware from sammobile, now I can't open the S health app. A pop up shows "Your device has been compromised. Because of a new security policy introduced in version 5.0, Knox is not available on compromised devices. (0x110020521) I downloaded and ran root checker and it shows the phone is not rooted. Is there any way I can get rid of this without rooting again?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] DeeXii:
You need to edit the build.prop

Look for ro.config.tima and change the "1" to a "0".

You can either use a app like root explorer or BuildProp Editor.

You will have to root to fix this as it is using Knox to detect the past root/recovery flash.

Once you trip knox with twrp / root you can undo that.

Rooting alone shouldnt be giving you any trouble?

What problems were you having that made you want to go stock with no root?

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] vegetaleb:
A bit deceived by HTC with the U 11 that has apparently a bad 3.5mm adapter, I am searching for a good phone to replace my 1 year old HTC 10.

I saw the V20 is an excellent audio phone with a very good camera and screen but I am afraid of a lack of custom roms and contrast for the screen.

What do you think? Is the V20 too old to fight against newer S8 and U 11 or it's still a strong candidate?

Any lags?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Grooby97:
I don't have my phone as I am still waiting for it to come in the mail; However, the spec on papers appears that both phones are similar in CPU and RAM. Is there something specific that draws you to the V20?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] buongu:
question is: why would you want to replace your htc10 in first place?

except you have some problem with it, I would see no reason why you should change it with a v20... unless you're going to use really high impedance headsets... but since you're considering the s8 as a substitute, I doubt have you have any interest for that kind of headsets.

v20 and htc10 share the same SoC, have more or less the same overall photo quality (v20 has the wide angle camera which is useful and nice but you may or may not be interested in landscapes), v20 has a better screen, but altogether it's not a great step forward from the htc10.

so... if listening to lossless tracks with high impedance headsets isn't your top priority, you can either keep your htc10 or go for the s8. otherwise v20 is a no brainer, together with the korean g6.

if you're just looking for a fresh new smartphone, s8 :)
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] masondoctorjt:
Well the v20 has an IR blaster and a removable battery. That alone makes it a step up from the HTC 10. The S8 and u11 don't have enough specs to make up for that IMO. If I was buying a phone today, I would personally choose the v20. I Love mine!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] vegetaleb:
The V20 is way too heavy, I was interested at first for the bigger screen but this phone is too heavy even without a cover

Not compared to the U11 you mentioned - that's only 5g lighter.

The V20 is well engineered and solidly built, that's a plus. A case adds very little extra weight.

I have a Sprint LS 992, which doesn't connect to data in Australia. Will I be able to switch out the housing to the Australian back and use those antennas in Australia? Will this solve the problem? Are there any issues with this solution?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] P00r:
Band that any cell phone can use or not use are more related to the modem, firmware modem than the actual antenna on the devices. Some device model may have different antenna length and configuration but generally speaking the first thing that will prevent you from connecting is the modem not supporting your local band, changing the housing will not change a thing to this. If your local band are supported then something else is going on...

[Sony Xperia M2] Hazeno:
Right guys the information in here is vast but a little confusing.

Few posts say there's root and custom recovery for locked Bootloader and some say different.

My question is this. My daughter has a D2303 With 8gb of storage and can't even install 2 of her favourite apps.

Is there a way to root on a locked Bootloader? If so can I flash TWRP? And then say RR / Lineage / CM? Can I flash Xposed and get what I need?

As I need either foldermount or adopted storage so she can actually make use of this phone and not get angry at the 'no space' after installing 1 game and taking 5 pictures.

TLDR:

LOCKED BOOTLOADER

NEED - Way to adopt storage or enable 'foldermount'? Or xposed?

Thanks for the hints.
[Sony Xperia M2] basem_ym:
You can easily root with Locked BL and install TWRP by using eagle root tool by [MENTION=4787101]linuxct[/MENTION]

Just search for it in the android developement section

And for CM/RR/LOS it will not ever happen on locked BL

For xposed you cant do any thing with stock rom but you can flash Z5 STYLE by linuxct too, Xposed works fine there.

Goodluck.
