I had no problem going from the iPhone 4 to the S3, the biggest size change I had for a long time. There was a bit of trouble going from the 2014 X to the 6P, mainly due to length.

I will say the USB-C accessories are woefully under served, still. Can't find a dock that won't ruin the phone and will rapid charge.

I may order another of these Belkin chargesync docks and see if I can replace the cable completely.

...so, this is really frustrating. I don't know why this started happening in the past few months.

Some of you might know I'm really into photography (as in photography with cameras vs smartphone photography), but a lot of my photos... while they look normal on my laptop (2010 MBP), when I upload my pictures to Flickr, I'm getting this green tint when I view it on my Note 3. When I download the pictures to my Note 3, the green tint is going with, meaning if I want to proceed to uploading to Instagram, the green tint is there too.

Here's a picture I took recently (a friend of mine from Los Angeles). This was downloaded to my phone from Flickr. See that ugly green tint?



but this is how it's suppose to look

so, I thought this might be my Note 3, but I'm in Los Angeles visiting my mom and sister and my sister has an old Nexus 7 (1st gen) that I gave her awhile ago when I bought the Note 3... and the green tint is there too


Anyone has any ideas on what da hell is going on?


and btw... I've had my wife view the Flickr pictures on her iPhone and no green tint

is300eater

oh, and when I view this thread on my Note 3, BOTH of those pictures above have the green tint

On my Note 4, via Flickr, my pics look fine

Moto X just sold on Swappa, but it's a brand new user. Any concern? Address is Paypal verified, and I'm seller protection eligible.

My bro in law got an S7 Edge. So nice but for $600-700 or whatever it is :/

Liking the operation of the Nexus 5x thus far.

I am having a fair bit of trouble with the increase in size though. It just makes some things harder. Holding the phone in my right hand, it's tough to get to the "back" key on the bottom row and also the icon in the dock on the right hand side.

I am sure I will get used to it, but it sure makes me appreciate the smaller size of the 4.7 phones.

Doom878

Yeah you'll learn how to palm slide your phone down your hand to get those opposite corners.

stogie1020

I just...can't...reach...the...bottom...left...corne r...


Arrrgggghhhhh...

Had the Note 3, really liked it.....got broken.

Using my old LG Optimus........STILL hate it. Better left to being the leader of the Autobots, then trying to get in to the Android phone business.

Was looking in to the Huawei P8 Max.

Phone is huge, but heard good things about it.

Actually haven't used an Android in a long time. Can you swipe from the left side to the right to go back? That requires the phone shifting in your hand too, but it's less precarious than holding onto just the bottom part of your phone to tap the back arrow.

stogie1020

no, not that I am aware of...

On my old phone in the dock at the bottom, I had the dialer icon on the bottom left. I had to move it farther right so I could reach it one handed...

Doom878

Upper left corner with my right hand is the WORST

I need a thumb extension.

1. Your screen is going out. But i dont think so

2. did you mess or didn't mess with the "warm" "cold" or whatever settings they had in the display setting? Its been a while since i had Note 3. can't recall what it is called. That could be the reason why that guy looks like a zombie.

is300eater

no, I didn't mess with the screen. but the thing is, I had a buddy of mine look at the picture (from Flickr) on his Nexus 6 and the green tint was there too... as well as my sister's Nexus 7 tablet

oonowindoo

i just checked with my S6 Edge + , the guy looks alive, not deadly green.

can you find another note 3 and check again? cuz one thing about samsung phone is the color should never look dull.

What kind of portable chargers are you guys using?

is300eater

I bought one from Monoprice, a 8000mAh battery pack for like $10 and has been great so far. But from my diehard Ingress playing friends, they always recommend the brand Anker (I say "Ingress" because that game really sucks juice like crazy )

^ive heard the monoprice batteries are awesome!

Anker, is another good brand!

Ive had great luck with these brands ANker, tronsmart, and Aukey.

i tried one brand Kmashi, and it totally sucked. it didnt show correct power levels. and took forever to charge, over 10 hours with a 5v/2.1amp charger

Went with this one. My buddy has a similar one by the company and really likes it.

You might want to take a look at a new app "fooView - Float Viewer". It gives
you a floating button that understands various gestures. Their description:

"fooView - Float Viewer is a magic floating button. It's a system enhancement
tool to help you access your favorite websites, apps, games, files, music,
photos, and video by a gesture using one hand."

funny u mentioned this, i have been so out of touch with external chargers.

My friend just gave me a brand new Anker 16000 charger last night.
In theory it should charge my phone up to 5 times.

I am shocked at the charging speed tho. It is as fast, if not faster than my home charger!!

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

it out puts the same as your home charger!!
none of them should be outputting less than 5v/2.1amps.. if they are, return it and get one that out puts same as home charger

if you have more than 1 port, it should divide power evenly...
2 usb ports = 5v/4.2amps

is300eater

yep, a couple of my battery packs are noticeably faster at charging than charging from the wall too

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

i think my fastest wall charger is 2.4amps!(it was made for a tablet)

also, on Feb 7, I took a shower with my nexus 5.
cuz Vodka....


anyway, i picked up the Nexus 6P!! in gold from best buy!

oonowindoo

my home charger is not plugged into a wall.. on an extension cord.

With regular charging mode, it will take me 2.5 hours to charge. The fast charging mode (which i could rarely get it to work) take 1 hour and 10 minutes from 10 to 100%.

So yah the Anker charger is definitely faster than my home charger 90% of the time.

oonowindoo

should have gotten a S7...

Congrats on the Nexus 6P. Beast of a phone in terms of performance.

if you think you're having trouble palming the 5x, dont try on the 6P! lol

i had to totally change the way I carry and use the phone.

cant carry in pockets, or if i do, i have to take out before i sit down.

i'm thinking of maybe getting a little hand bag :ghey: to carry this miniature computer in

My MIL has the giant iPhone and, knowing they are about the same size, i tried to put it in my pocket.

Not.going.to.happen.

I would need to wear cargo pants and put it in a side pocket. Maybe with suspenders.

SamDoe1

My N6P is in my pocket right now and it fits just fine even if I'm sitting down. Stop wearing skinny jeans!

I just dont want the device to bend.
and I know when I sit, my thunder thighs press against it in a weird manner, especially in a car.

Jason; I really enjoy the front facing speakers.
