    Post RhinoShield lens review

    Thanks for this review. I likely wouldn't have invested in these, but this solidified that.

    Post Standby drain

    3~6% overnight is completely acceptable to me. This is the least time I've spent on a charger on any smartphone to date. I'm still consistently amazed by it. Previously (last on an LGV20) if I forgot to charge my phone overnight, I could wake up to a dead one. Happened more than once. I don't...

    Post Android 9 is PIE

    I've been mulling that for ages. I am on Ting, which is great, but there's a minor difference between the two. Namely that on the high end of a possible monthly bill/data use, P-Fi tops out with it's Bill Protection feature. But on the low end, P-Fi will never be as cheap as my occasional $40...

    Post Android 9 is PIE

    So just now reading that TMob phones don't get the Pixel updates like everyone else? I'd been refreshing my 'check update' all day, and nothing. Over on Twitter the masses are getting uneasy. I know I (and most of XDA) are in the minority about demanding timely updates compared to the average...

    Post Android 9.0 Official released?

    This is interesting. I wasn't aware that Tmob was requiring a carrier specific update on Pixels. Ive been refreshing the 'check update' all damn day, not realizing this is a thing. Guess I'll likely be doing ye olde sideload tonight when I get home. But in the interim, does anything have more...

    Post Pixel 3 XL First Look... NOTCH

    Ya know, I bought 2 new Pixel 2's (regular for my wife,XL for me) just a week before the renders started to show up, and for just a bit I was having buyers remorse. 'Should I have just waited? Will this phone be inferior in just a few months?' After seeing this notch crap (IMO horrible design)...

    Post Listening to headphones while charging

    Yeah, some people still insist that's an "issue" and can't be ... "reminded" otherwise. I leave all my **** charging when I'm not using it. That's what the chips in the chargers do, make sure the cells are being charged properly. I'm pretty certain this won't be a "real" issue for her, once...

    Post Listening to headphones while charging

    Yeah, she has a specific set of needs where that might not work. She indeed uses the BT stuff in most instances. But for sleeping, being an insomniac, she needs the whitenoise/audiobook going all night. Assuming they last that long per charge, and having to charge them every morning, not to...

    Post Listening to headphones while charging

    Oh man. I just ordered a Pixel 2 (for her), and a Pixel 2 XL (for me) about 4 hours ago. And did not think about this issue until now. It's not an issue for me, but the wife falls to sleep listening to audio books, etc. I can't believe there's no solution outside a bluetooth dongle to plug your...

    Post HOWTO: Root LS997 up to ZV7

    Waiting on the hope that ARB1+ will eventually be cracked, but just wanted to say a thanks to runningnak3d and loopytee for all the time and effort put into this. This is exactly why XDA is great.

    Post Do you want help rooting? Latest security patches

    In the same boat, absentmindedly took the update, and now, well, here we are. I'll continue to watch the work here on a hope, and thanks runningnak3d for the work you're doing.

    Post Do you want help rooting? Latest security patches

    Can you tell me what menu options you used to get to your ARB with that APK? None of the menus looked familiar enough for me to use, and my cautious nature has learned not to touch things I don't understand. ?
