Switched my phone service to T-Mobile

Meh. We have better weather and prettier girls, so there!

Speaking of nice weather. My girls sister just got a job with NBC San Diego. Almost 3k for a tiny studio apartment rental. She found one closer to $2000 but there were bums everywhere in that area... fuck sake.

Was out and about in Los Angeles today and pretty happy with the network performance.

That's crapola. Nor Cal average is double that. Same with NYC. What kinda backwoods city is los anga leees...

I also like the fact that this budget Moto has NFC. I think some of the previous Motos didn't. That's a must-have feature for me.

I liked being able to lock the phone without pressing the power button. On Android 11, you can double tap the screen to lock it. But I found a workaround. You can enable the Accessibility menu and by swiping with two fingers from the bottom of the phone, you can display the Accessibility buttons, one of which is for locking the screen. Neat.

Was the XIami the same size battery?

No, it's smaller, but I think it charges with a more powerful charger.

Very happy with the phone so far. The only thing I wish it had is dual SIM slots. I travel abroad frequently (although a lot less lately due to the pandemic) and it would be nice to just be able to add another SIM without having to remove my US one. But it's not a huge deal. I'm really looking forward to Android 12. My previous phone had Android 11 and I wish I didn't have to downgrade to Android 10 with this phone. Missing some good features. Not sure why this phone isn't getting Android 11.

Battery life is insane. I'm on my third day and it just dipped below 20%.

Fuck 11. 10 to 12 is best. Like going from a PS4 to a ps5 and just skipping the gay ass PS4 pro BS in between.

My girl has Android 11 on her phone. It's the same god damn thing as 10.

I'm spoiled by the 45 min charging time for my Xiaomi. The Moto takes forever to charge.

Yeah, I figured that. I just didn't know how they partitioned the bandwidth between their phone customers and their mobile customers. They can both use the same towers but get different speeds depending on how much of the tower's bandwidth they get.

[Bouncer]

Yea it's your location bro. You are going to have the exact same speed as you had with TMobile home internet. It uses the same tower.

[Scrumhalf]

Getting speeds between 120 and 250 now. Not bad.

So far, so good. Ported my numbers over from AT&T. 5G is a bit underwhelming. I got about 60-80 Mbps yesterday. I thought it would be in the hundreds. Maybe it's just my location, NBD sice I'll be on wifi anyway at home.
