Can you explain why QC is bad for your battery? I myself have never used QC but have heard nothing but good things.

I find it hard to believe companies will bundle their phones with quickchargers if its bad for the battery then. Like the Nexus 6. Hmm..

It's a long-term and very subtle effect, nothing to where you'll be like "holy **** my battery is like 50% capacity a year later," but you could very well hit 80% capacity a bit quicker at the end of two years.

Went to BB to try the Moto 360 deal but the management pretty much told me to get lost. Anyone have any luck?

Edit: they changed the price on their website back to $250, so the deal is pretty much done.

Not going to bother anymore. Looks like there was a nationwide memo that was sent out and the system's been changed to negate the sale price when the $100 Android phone + watch discount is applied. I'm not up for an argument today

Kind of related to quick charging..
Been using 2.1amp USB wall charger instead of 1.5amp charger that came with my phone.
Charges faster now and still get my regular 4 hours on screen time battery life.
Been doing it for a few months.
Heard it is a bad idea to do that but oh well lol.


Just got some Sony Bluetooth headphones (Sony XB950 BT) for about 70ish

To go with my z ultra for the gym. Boutta watch youtube + show box + big z ultra screen with unlimited data. Gonna make cardio sessions fly by like nothing

Do you run at the gym? It is beyond me how people run with huge headphones on. Enlighten me

 

[carver]

They look pretty dope.

Need to get me some bluetooth earphones for running/biking with all this nice weather.

I was using my S6E alongside my fam's iPhone and noticed this. 

At max brightness, the S6E is significantly dimmer and less colour-true than the i6. I was viewing pure-white images, and yet the S6E is displaying a red hue. 

The LED on the back of the i6 shines white, the S6E was significantly dimmer (didn't show up in the pictures that way though) and also incandescent yellow. 

I honestly REALLY want to like this S6E, and it's getting harder and harder to do so. 

IPS vs AMOLED.  IPS screens will always have way whiter whites than AMOLED screens.  As far as the flash, thats just the color temperature they chose for it idk lol.  Different colors for the flash produce different qualities in a picture.  Sometimes when a flash is too white, the picture ends up too cold and unnatural looking.  Reason why some OEMs went with the dual tone flashes also.

I tried this a couple of days ago also smh.  Some people had luck with it but the store I went to wasnt having it lol

I'm usually on the stationary bike or the different types of ellipticals(easy on the joints).

Youtuber reviewed the headphones with a fitness test. They stayed on while he ran but when it came to doing sit ups they start falling down.

nice headphones, but for cardio? yikes. Not breathable at all, your ears are gonna suffocate, sweat going to ruin em'

[COLOR=#red]People fail to realize that Samsung phones have an color calibration menu in the settings. Then again some people are looking for stuff to get mad at instead of maybe doing a little research.

DisplayMate gave the S6 top marks for color accuracy. If I had to choose which to trust on display accuracy, an average Joe's eyes versus the data results of a professional colorimeter, I'd go with the latter. But that's just me.

And like EWD has shown, you can adjust the hue/saturation/gamma/etc. to your liking. But out of the box, the S6 is supposedly perfectly calibrated.

 

[gabe]

That assumes every amoled display is manufactured exactly the same as the next, which it definitely isn't. If you have an S6, take it to Best Buy and compare it side by side with their S6 displays, there's a difference, even if some differences are subtle. Also it's just the whites that display a hue on them, the other colours are fine out the box and yes I've tried all the different settings. Here's a different comparison, the S6 to the S3, both amoled. 

The white's don't change for me when I try the different settings, just the colours. Yes I'm aware that the S6 tested closest to pure white on the sRGB gamut, it just doesn't appear that way to me. 

 

[carver]

My whites look pretty damb white.

I'm using cinema mode I believe..I'll have to see them side by side, I've never really thought about it. Gotta wait til I go home tho.

The white changes massively if I go from cinema to photo

You might just prefer a cooler temperature, which is fine. I personally don't care for "accuracy" as I don't do any photo editing and actually prefer "cooler" displays, probably just like you.

Anyone's Nexus 5 overheat just at the MicroUSB port while charging? Happened to mine over the weekend. Got so hot it burned the surrounding plastic and started smoking. Managed to notice it before it got worse. Phone won't charge now unless I'm physically holding the micro usb in in a specific angle.

Ordered the s6 to replace it but won't be here till Friday. It's gonna be a struggle.

It'll also be my first non vanilla android phone.

I run all of the time with headphones, you get use to it. And a lot of headphones have replaceable pads anyways so sweat is not an issue. More immersive experience compared to earphones(iem) anyways.

Contact the Google Play store and send them pics. They'd likely send you a replacement.

Edit: they changed the price on their website back to $250, so the deal is pretty much done.

I got 1 and 1 for my sister.

Went last Saturday bought the Tmobile zinger prepaid and leather MOTO 360 with 10% off Movers coupon for total of under $112, then We returned the phone last Monday came down to $72 for my Moto 360.

after returning the phone.. we went to the mobile section and got the same prepaid phone and grab the 360 then head to the check out.. DONE!
when we reached the parking and check the watch she got the metal band instead of the leather. she went back and directed to the customer service and redo all the transaction.. at the end of it the lady from best buy asked my sister if she wants to keep the phone, my sister told her that to get the $100 off she needs both. the lady said "you can return it now and ill still give u the $100 off".

at the end .. $180(moto360)+$40(phone) -$100 (promo) -$25(.edu cupon) -$40(phone returned instantly) = $55

feels good walking out the store!

Yeah, could've been much worse the way that thing was to produce smoke. Only reason I went to unplug was because I was heading out.

True indeed, already have a replacement on the way.
