Need a new phone

[Scrumhalf]

Ahem, remember who brought up the topic of Fi? ;)

I feel like Google owes me. 3 new phone buyers and Fi subscribers from this thread. :D

Battery life is amazing on this phone. My phone has been 100% since 5:30am

[dna9488]

Oh yeah bitches

I remember when phone companies even had trouble handing off voice calls even from one cellular band to another, from 3G to 2G, etc. I read that with Fi, voice calls get handed off from cellular to WiFi without interruption. That's pretty cool. Nice tech.

Did a little test. Started a YouTube video live stream. (Skynews) while I was on public wifi. Walked home and it connected to LTE and than connected to my home wifi all without stopping the live stream video. Pretty cool.

Yea, cardio by the pool and club house. Probably their wifi.

[Scrumhalf]

Is this just around your neighborhood. That's pretty cool if you can lock on to wifi when you go walking the dogs or whatever.

[Bouncer]

Just says open wifi.

[Scrumhalf]

Haven't had auto connect do its thing yet. Pretty much every wifi that I have encountered (restaurants, shops, etc.) require a sign in, or at least a check in the box and acknowledgment. Did you figure out what it is connecting to?

[Bouncer]

Public wifi speeds. Not bad.

[Bouncer]

Check this out. First I've seen the auto connect feature turn on. I'm outside the house and I'm still not using data.

That would piss me off the Fi chip not coming with the phone.

Everything I read about the 6P says it's a top tier phone.

I'm not really worried about it. My AT&T line gets disconnected in the middle of next month.

What apps have you guys loaded on the phone? The only ones I have put on are speedtest, Tapatalk and LTE discovery. Haven't really found the need for anything else yet. All the native apps do just fine.

Few apps actually. I've been on Android central and Android authority looking at apps that are highly recommended.

SwiftKey (better keyboard imo)
Videoshop (good options for video editing and great recorder)
Light manager (modifying the LED notification)
Transparent weather (weather app)
Percent enabled (for the battery)

I just use Google music and find any other sing I want on YouTube. Never used any of those streaming music services.

[Scrumhalf]

I'm been streaming Amazon music, since I have prime. Selection is supposedly not as good as Pandora, but it's not bad.
