Nice, I checked it out and works. I do really hope the Kindle app is updated for dual screen. It only allows column view in landscape mode and even when using wide screen the Kindle app doesn't allow columns because it is still in portrait orientation.

I haven't found a way to use a different launcher as the default launcher on the second screen, or a way to rotate the LG home. Hopefully the Android 10 update adds some extra features, there. I'd love to be able to use the Microsoft Launcher beta which supports landscape, or Nova.

I have a Sprint unlocked version and use it with Google Fi on T-Mobile towers and I cannot use VoLTE or wifi calling. I'm not sure about flashing it, I'd guess so, but haven't tried...

Not sure if you still need advice, but I recently bought an 8" M5 to replace a Chuwi Hi9 Pro that I accidentally cracked the screen on. I also have a GalaxyTab S3 but really prefer the form factor of an 8". I've been really pleased with my M5 and would recommend it, especially if you can catch...

Turns out I just hadn't installed the Magisk Manager apk, so there was no option to grant superuser when a root request was made by an app. So, I am good, root verified working! Interestingly, Android still says my drive is encrypted, but I can see the internal storage size in TWRP and...

I am a little stuck, I also have the newer red button, I was able to unlock the bootloader and flash twrp but also had the touch screen issues. So, I used a usbc hub with mouse and a flash drive, I used wipe to format the userdata partition and then flashed the encryption remover zip and Magisk...

I have a Samsung Evo U3 card formatted in adoptive storage mode, working fine so far. I like Samsung flash and SSD

I just got my s3, I wouldn't pay $600 for it, but I got mine open box in perfect condition from Best Buy for only $380. Definitely worth it at that price.

Wi-Fi on mine is balls out fast. Range is similar to my LG G6, which is also pretty good. No stability issues.

Thanks, worked great for me. The reported storage is off, though, is that normal?

I'm trying to install Remix OS 64bit for the first time on my Apollo Lake N3450 tablet. Secure boot is off. I ran the installer, selected the image, selected my drive and allocation size, it applied bootloader settings and I clicked reboot in the setup app. My PC rebooted and immediately after...

You need to look with your head more than your eyes. All VR lenses are sharper in the middle of the lens, some worse than others. It isn't too bad when you get used to it. Sent from my SM-G935P using XDA-Developers mobile app

I'm keeping an eye on the Razer Forge as well. I considered the Fire TV, but it is under-spec'd now. I'll keep my Ouya on a spare TV or something, still works great with Plex, sideloaded WatchESPN, and rooting/sideloading Google Play opened it up a bit more too.

I don't store media on my phone so capacity wasn't a big deal, but the nylon just felt tacky and grip was a little slick. I did like the look better, though, in pics at least. The MGF feels better in my hand and at least the V logo is fairly small and only on the back.

I noticed this on mine but I figured it was an animation built in to Android when scrolling (like the word bunch/bounce when hitting the end of a page) but that I just hadn't really noticed it before on other phones because the animation wasn't as smooth, screen wasn't as sharp and screen wasn't...

It's a huge slab of ultra thin glass, drop it and it will break. It is scratch resistant (gorilla glass) but not shatter-proof, and screen protectors do basically nothing to protect from drops. A fall onto concrete is more likely to break it as well due to variations and protrusions on the...

I'm quite happy with mine. Granted, I haven't had reason to test the camera a whole lot and hear mixed reviews about it. Otherwise everything else is outstanding.

Verizon swapping out the phones without visibly removing them from a brand new box, or at least providing you with the original retail packaging, is where I feel Verizon has really screwed up. As a customer, without the original packaging and paper trail, you have no way of supporting any proof...

There are little notches on the left and right side of the grill, my suspicion is that there are "stereo" speakers with one located above each notch. They may also have the audio configured to split volume between the two speakers.

I'm coming from a Moto G, biggest phone before this was an HTC One X with a 4.7" so this is big for me.

No problems here, have played games for several hours straight with no issues and have been playing with it all day.

Isn't it possible that some of these reviews were written about a pre-release device? I know that the embargo was only lifted on Friday, but we have seen these things in the wild for the past 3-4 months on the wrists of various pop-tech people.

The SoC is only one component in what is a cohesive design. Is it a weak spot? Sure. Is it a deal breaker? Maybe. I'll have to wait til mine gets here to give it a good testing and see how it works for my lifestyle. But from what the majority of people are saying, the way I will likely use it...

The user interface for the iWatch looks overly complex, which is a strange turn for Apple. Tap vs press? Spinny crown thing? If you have to put any thought into interfacing with a watch, you're doing it wrong. The design has a retro-futuristic feel to it and isn't terrible but certainly isn't...

I was thinking about it. I have a stainless steel Citizen with a black face and black band that looks great. Maybe one of the dual tone black and silver bands?

My local Best Buy said of the two they had today the first sold wouldn't charge. I saw another post on reddit claiming theirs wouldn't turn on, could also be related to a charging issue.

Awesome. I'm even less concerned about the (rumored) poor battery life. I have Qi chargers at work, at home and will have the dock as well.

Oh, that's a bummer... Only other way would be to try and get someone at Verizon to activate it for you. Or, maybe you could try and see if Best Buy Mobile can still do manual activations through EROS. ---------- Post added at 07:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 PM ---------- The...

Best thing to do if you get a phone wet is turn it off and leave it off for at least a week. The problem is that moisture gets inside the phone itself and just takes time to evaporate. If you turn it on or leave it on after water gets in you run the risk of shorting something out and killing the...

Power up the phone, skip the activation wizard, dial *228 and follow the prompts. You'll need to enter the Verizon number you want to activate it on and I think also enter your PIN, if I remember correctly. Eventually the voice will say it has been activated and you're good to go.

I don't think anyone has actually said that they're working on it. We're just dangling the carrot to see if anyone bites...

The resolution on the dash monitor is probably ridiculously low too so not sure if it would display properly.

I'd be good for $20 for root.

I doubt it... Activating *228 doesn't change anything on the phone, it just allows you to circumvent the activation restrictions VZW places on devices on their end when you try to activate by web or directly through them.

I think he is asking if you can use the prepaid VZW Moto G on a postpaid plan. The answer is yes, but you have to activate the phone by dialing *228. It'll prompt you for your postpaid phone number of the line you want to activate it on, and ask you for your numeric account password. After...

I was looking forever for a good mount for an xbox 360 controller since I have several laying around and no PS3 controllers, and found a 3d printed one you can buy at shapeways...

I bought Auto Hide Soft Keys, because I really like edge swiping (got used to it on my Surface). Works great. It does require root, though.

I've been looking too and haven't found anything yet. I was a little annoyed when I saw the promo videos with the old Nexus 7 being used with the Moga just fine, but tablets that size aren't actually supported by the production unit. Seems like a bad decision on their part to exclude 7" devices.

Asphalt 8 runs poorly at times at max settings. Sure, you can reduce the graphic quality, but that also reduces the effects and other things that IMO make it look better than the resolution does. So, dropping to 1280x800 for smoother gameplay with all the settings up is IMO a good tradeoff. I...

Since the last update it seems that when I try to wake my surface from sleep, often the first press of the power button doesn't wake it and I have to press it again. Doesn't seem to be based on how hard or where I press on the button, and I'm extremely careful with my electronics so it hasn't...

Awesome rom, thank you! I've used several variations of all roms from GB-JB and this is easily the smoothest and most stable I've used. Almost makes it feel like a different tablet.

I rolled back to stock 4.0.3 in preparation for the OTA JB update (that is never coming). I bought my version from the market and it seems to have all the special effects enabled and looks pretty darn good, but generally runs pretty slow. I would guess around 20-25fps, enough that it never...

My phone fell about a foot and a half out of my pocket onto concrete, dinged up the corner of the polycarbonate and fell on the face. Now I have two small cracks, both on the right edge of the screen. Fortunately they aren't over the lcd, just the edge. It wouldn't have happened if the phone was...

I'm using my international hox on Straight Talk and have had a great experience thus far. I've had AT&T in my area for several years and there's no noticeable difference between AT&T and ST for me in signal quality or network speed. I would rather have stayed on AT&T but couldn't justify the...

I thought the One line was intended to reduce the frequency of unnecessary incremental product updates that frustrate customers and dilute the brand...

I would love to be able to use the capacitive buttons and have been hoping someone would figure out a way to enable them in HC. Honeybar works great, but 90% of the stuff I need the bar for the capacitive buttons would work fine for and wouldn't cut into our limited screen size.

If your warranty claims were denied they were probably caused by something that is explicitly not covered by the warranty. (Accidental damage, water damage). Two versions of most plans are offered, one covers accidental, one doesn't. The camera you purchased sounds like it was the last one in...

Like I said, not all stores or employees are equal. But I see it every single day. A company does have to keep an eye on it's bottom line in order to stick around, and sometimes the requests of our customers are so far beyond profitable that we couldn't stay in business if we met them, but in my...

I manage a Best Buy Mobile store and while I'm not going to say you don't provide great customer service in your store, it's inaccurate to state that Best Buy Mobile doesn't provide quality service as well. We perform all the services you stated, for free, in addition to having better prices and...
