Need a new phone

[Scrumhalf]

By the way, B&H is selling the 5X for $249 for anyone who wants one but don't want to pay $299 or whatever, or go through Fi. Pretty good price.

Fi also has free international text. Something att did not have. I can text mr I. I'll do it right now 20 times because it's 6:30 am Saturday morning in jolly old England. :D

That's what it said in this link that I posted earlier.

You can call them to verify, but it definitely seems like if you used zero cellular data, you'll only pay 20 bucks.

I just wonder if there is a minimum though. That link doesn't use below 1gb as an example. Haha

Battery blows scrum..

All the reviews talk about "full day". I assumed that meant like 5am to 10pm. Not 2pm to 11..

It lasts me no longer than my 2 year old Nexus 5 with a smaller battery.

[Scrumhalf]

Weird. Works great for me. Maybe you watch a lot more videos and other screen intensive stuff than I do.

[Scrumhalf]

The CNET article seemed to indicate that you can try Fi for a month for $20 if you don't use any data, so I assume they'll give you $10 back if you use zero data.

But look at the main battery users. Screen, Android system, Android OS, etc.. Doesn't even say YouTube etc..

Quick update:

The 6P came in yesterday. Phone is awesome. Fast, no glitches, no bloatware crap, and it updated in a minute.

The fingerprint reader is fast and I love sticking my finger in the back :hibb:

My Google Sim card comes in tomorrow and I'll make the switch

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.

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.

[Bouncer]

Just my everyday stuff. Bank apps, Reddit app, smart news. Most is stock though.

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

[Bouncer]

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

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

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)

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.
