I got about $36 in Google Play credit from doing the surveys, and can't use to buy a new Chromecast

Blu Studios w/ some solid low-mid range phones

Man I was hoping to do this. I'm only like 1.50 shy, I figured by early November I'd buy one. That's stupid Google.

 

[HNL HI]

LG Urbane is $215 on eBay deals.

 

[yeah]

To the guys getting such long batter life, what are you settings on? (brightness, gps, bluetooth, etc)

Brightness - lowest possible setting

GPS - Device only/off

Bluetooth - Off

Sync Intervals - Every 6 hours/manual.

Wakelock Blocker - Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, Play Store, Soundcloud, Groupme

I'm going to try this out. I usually have everything running (wifi, bluetooth, GPS, etc) with brightness at 100% so I see why my battery life is usually like 6hrs. I'm hoping for some good life on this G2 as I wait to get that 6P

damn b

i turn things on when i need them, otherwise it's off. also restrict background access on some apps (snapchat). i dont have gmail notifications on cause sometimes it's just promotional stuff.

brightness is usually on 50.

I use Lux for my brightness. The stock Android auto brightness can't beat it.

First time I've ever owned a phone and had no desire to root it.

 

[HNL HI]

ended up copping a Urbane from that eBay deal.

Bruh gotta carry one of these around with his phone to see his screen lol

 

[AZwildcats]

^^^^^

I have wifi, Bluetooth and GPS off unless I'm using them. Also uninstalled the Facebook app because it is very battery and memory intensive

 

[rillo561]

Everything off unless I'm using it, screen as low as possible

 

[Gordonson]

I usually keep my brightness at around 20% unless I'm going to bed (lowest), watching a long video (at least 50%), or outside on a bright day (at least 50%)

Typically leave syncing on, and alternate between data and Wi-Fi as appropriate.

I damn near never use GPS or Bluetooth so those stay off.

 

[cubanref]

What do you guys think about project fi? Debating whether I want to use T-Mobile pre-paid or fi when my Nexus comes in.

Depending on what plan you get, T-Mobile is probably a better value right now. $10 per GB of data on Fi is pretty hefty IMO if you are a moderate user

I think I'm going to try Project Fi out for at least a month just to test out the service. I usually use around 4-6 GB a month and the 5GB plan for both is $70 plus tax. Might as well see if its worth it or not

 

[hoosierdaddy317]

Got the HTC desire 626 to replace my iPhone 6 as a cheap alternate and I actually like it. Cameras kinda trash though

 

[iamdef]

Lol after reading y'all's setting I feel better about my battery life. I cannot stand a dim screen outside of being in a dark room.

At the risk of getting 4+ hours of OST in lieu of a fully bright screen and real time notifications Idk how y'all do it

 

[based mod]

5X commercial every break during the games

Is there a 6P one?

I set mine at 50%, never had a problem with it while outside.

 

[AZwildcats]

I leave mine on auto, never have a problem viewing outside either

 

[Narcissist]

Anybody have issues with QKSMS? For some reason when I receive pictures it shows the new picture as a previous picture until I click on it. Known issue or just some mms bug?

textra

 

[AZwildcats]

textra

Should be the default answer for all things SMS

 

[yeah]

Sidenote: Those things were SOOO CLUTCH during road trips.

I still like Messenger/Hangouts. Usually switch between the two. Textra just doesn't feel right, idk why.

 

[Narcissist]

I use Textra. I like to switch it up occasionally though.
