i’m expecting corporate IT to kick me off the network goods this month when apple’s push to 13 comes and i can’t upgrade my iphone6. not sure i can make the jump to the lack of cord. the best part is i will have to pay for it. shenanigans. i hope i am misinterpreting my fate.
Android 10 landed on my Pixel 3a today.
didn't land on my Pixel 3, but when I went looking it was available to me.Quote:

Also it didn't like me switching to another app like I usually do, it paused it until I came back and I told it to resume.Quote:

super cheap but once you have any issue its better to change carries. relqted to the fairplay colorado coming back one 285 and no service..the 3rd level tech then her manager actually told me u need to check for updates daily and reboot your new samsung every morning...no explanation why verizon works fine [or did] in that area. 3rd level stated the phones these days are just like computers...need to be rebooted every day. WTF?
yea, keep Xfinity mobile until u have an issue then switch carries before wasting time with their support
Pixel on Verizon cannot default to wifi in USA. Only while roaming can wifi be selected as default Calling method. Sure, duo, whatapp, Facebook messenger will all work but regular calling will not.Quote:

This capability was changed by Verizon in some update. Other carriers allow wifi as default.

I'm with you. I was just thinking about calling out and not receiving although I know I can have cellular off and wifi on and get calls. Confident I've done this a bunch of time.Quote:

Looks like I can get a renewed i8 off amazon for around $300 dedicated to AT&T or $350 for unlocked to all carriers, I have had the HTC for about 7+ years so new phone seems like the thing to do.
Wuz yer HTC using 2G??? A few years ago AT&T upgraded the towers around here and folks had to get new phones.
Why buy an n-4 used iPhone and get on the Apple/iOS merry go round? Head over to Moto and check out the G7 Play. If you were using a 7 year old HTC, even an Etch-a-sketch is going to seem like an upgrade. If you treat it nice you'll get 3 years out of the Moto. I don't think the cell coverage issue is Apple vs Android. I think it's a case where the radio in your HTC is no longer compatible with the towers in your hood. They obviously changed something. Wait, did it ever work?
The last try was to replace the sim card which did not work, also found out that the battery is swelled possibly causing problems. The HTC was good with 4G, they are going to 5G. Old phone, time to upgrade.
Got an iphone 8 on the way.
Bought a ulefone armor 3 with a. 10300 mah battery
Heavy, but it lasts 2+days of heavy use, as opposed to my Moto which later half a day.
And it's pretty bulletproof

Talked to guy at the AT&T store, asked him which i phones are best. He said stay away from the 10, guess the 11 is too new to have a track record. He said the 8 was a good one.
No iPhone is a good iPhone.
Shopping them for Christmas gifts. 10 has a battery life of 21 hours and accepts both lightning cable and wireless chargers. 11 has a battery life of 10 hours and no cable charge, gotta use wireless charger everywhere. Kids gotta have that fancier camera though LOL. Pretty much everything else is the same..
Microsoft folding phone is out !

apple and google might as well close up and their execs sell their stock while it's still worth something !
Older ipads and iphone 4 and 5 need immediate update:

Anyone using a Galaxy A50? Finally going to make the switch to Xfinity mobile and I can't bring my X4 over. It's either a choice between the A50 or the Moto G7. CNET had pretty good things to say about the A50 and solidly recommended it over the G7, and Xfinity is offering $250 off the A50 starting tomorrow.
Unrelated, the new Razr looks absolutely sick. If Motorola's folding tech trickles down to a G-series pricepoint in a few years I'll buy one in a heartbeat.
Yes. I got one couple of months ago when xfinity last had a rebate on them . I like it better than my s8, a flagship phone from two years ago. For the price especially when they discount or rebate it's a steal.Quote:

Cool, thanks. Completely agree on flagship phones.
Another thumbs up to the Pixel. Super fast, well coordinated UI and great battery.
Which one? Thanks to the help here, I ended up with a Pixel 3 and have been extraordinarily happy with it. Reviewers were big fans of it too, but now those same peeps are really talking a lot of trash about the Pixel 4. I am not hearing good things overall.Quote:
