Anyone get a Pixel 6 yet? Looks like a good deal with Tmobile (I like the wifi calling option) if I trade in my Note 5.
I think it updated to iOS 9.3.6 about a year ago, back when Apple got in shit for their engineered obsolesence in their OS support. Hasn't updated since. Still runs the TGR app smooth as silk though :fmicon:Quote:

I guess I had better fire up the 3a occasionally and check.Quote:

My 5a works great, too.Quote:

I got a pixel 6 last week also, but not the pro as I don't need anything more than the 6. Very smooth and quick coming from a galaxy S8. I got a phone case from Amazon, but the screen cover prevents reading of the fingerprint so I may return it.
FWIW, though Apple and ATT are saying 4-6 weeks for an iPhone 13 Pro, I ordered one last week and received it two days later.

The authority for rooting is XDA. Looks like you can do it with that phone.

It is intimidating at first, but if you poke around on there you should be able to sort it out. Def expect that you will lose 100% of the data on your phone. Also, be sure to have a backup phone in case it takes a couple of days to get yours working again.
I would start with just rooting it and getting it working with a stock ROM. You'll learn a lot. Once you're comfortable with that, you can go through again and put on your ROM of choice.
Be aware that some carrier stuff like texting and voicemail can be tough to get working as smoothly after a root. You'll also likely lose google pay and a few other things that check for root. It's well worth it though to gain total control over your property.
Can't that feature just be disabled?Quote:

Bonus, when my older one plus 6 was removed from att system (assholes) they sent me a galaxy s9 for free, and that qualified for $800 credit to the pixel (not assholes), so it's like $3/mo for the pixel. Good deal. Sold my one plus on eBay for $100.

I've read this is an issue and tried a few recommendations but nothing worked.
Thank God work pays for my phone(s).
Thx for the recommendations. I still haven’t done this, but still plan to do it.Quote:

Anyone here using iPhones on T-Mobile in Tahoe? Need to get the wife a new phone. She def requires an iPhone, just wondering if anyone is using a model 11, 12, or 13 on TMob in Tahoe city and /or the world’s newest ski area name resort
I should add that I lived the Pixel 6 Pro and would love to live in a world where I didn't have that one issue.
What phone now? My criteria are, sub $250CAD, a reasonably recent os, 'droid. Was thinking Pixel 3 but they're no longer supported so I'm less keen. I don't give too many fucks about screen resolution, picture quality...
Suggestions?
I am the worst cell phone guru ever, but this fucking little mini brick that I picked up for cheap is actually fucking fantastic. I had to go to my phone to tell me what it's name is, but it's a moto g power. I honestly get 2+ easy of days of charge out of it, and it just lets me tap buttons and make calls. All I need. I have no idea if it is still made, but the thing has been dropped many times, been out well below any zero, takes shitty cell phone pics enough to post and cost me basically nothing. I would count it as a friend. Much better than any 4 digit dollar phones I've owned, and I would gladly replace it should (I will) destroy it. I'm actually very impressed by this little piece of tech. That's a hard sell on me, and I ain't spancered.Quote:

Now I'm in the 40s after a day after having it for a year-ish. There was an Android version upgrade somewhere in the middle. I don't like plugging it in in the middle of the day or having a dying phone at 4pm when I decide to do an errand. I'm probably doing the charge thing wrong. I plug it in every night so it's a 100% in the morning. My expectations don't meet the reality of how these batteries work. Im not sure how to keep it between the internet recommended 80 and 20 and not have to watch it charge during the day.
Mrs C and I have that same generation (1 gen older than current version) Moto G Power. I like it a lot.
FWIW they are fast charge capable, and the charger that comes with the phone will do it. Motorola calls it turbo power, and it'll display on the phone when connected to a fast charger. So if you need to charge mid day it doesn't take long.
Don't know CAD dollar prices, but either used or refurbished phone of 3 or so generations back (so Samsung S10 maybe or Google Pixel 4 maybe in good condition) or one of the A series- seem to be sold for the MVNO companies in the US or for someone that does not want to spend over $300 for a phone new. Other would of course be Motorola that seems to keep offering decent devices for under $500 new still. Should be able to go to the CA Motorola web site and get a idea of if the pricing on the G series (Play, Power, Pure or Stylus) and go from there.Quote:
