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

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.

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

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.

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...

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.

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?
I shoot people
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

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!!

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

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.

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.

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