All of the phones listed in the OP are good choices, so far as I know.

Is anybody else still waiting on their Black Friday Tylt Vu?

Turnquiet posted:

I'm still waiting too, getting kinda antsy.

They sent me an email today:

Hi nmfree,

We actually just received another shipment of VU chargers but unfortunately the credit card authorizations have expired. Please fill out the attached credit card form, sign it and send it back to us. We will process your order as soon as we receive the completed form.

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

Thank you!

Thanks,

That doesn't seem sketchy at all!

How's that? Dry salt is an insulator. It's when in solution (wet) that they're conductive and chemically corrosive.

There are also other trace minerals and metals dissolved in water that do conduct, even when dry.

I just realized that Mighty Text charges more per year ($39.99) than if you pay monthly ($3.33*12=$39.96). :confused:

Anyway, it's a handy service, but not $40/year handy, so I'll pass.

Turnquiet posted:

It only took 3 months, lots of emails, sending a pdf of my credit card number so they could re-auth the charge, and another flurry of emails, but Tylt finally loving shipped the Vue I ordered on Thanksgiving Day. Anyone else still waiting on theirs? Jesus. I bet they wouldn't have bothered seeking re-auth on the credit card if I didn't follow up on it after month 2 of waiting. Fuckers.

They've been sending me emails every few weeks asking me to email them my credit card number, or to cancel my order.

Since from the beginning the whole affair has been nothing but shady, I'm not going to do business with them (again, I guess?). At this point I'm approaching it like a performance art piece and seeing how long it takes them before they give up.

OPPO seems to have realized how hosed up their shipping solution is for Canadians, so they decided to fix things by no longer offering shipping to Canada at all.

You can't say they didn't solve the problem, though!

Yup, don't know why Google hasn't made that an ~*official android*~ thing yet. Multi-window owns on my Samsung tab.

Multiwindow is great. Of course, Samsung can't tell the difference between their rear end and a hole in the ground, so while starting a multiwindow session was easy on my S3 (just tap on the tab) and is easy on my Galaxy Tab S (swipe from the side of the screen), of course we had to get Samsung'd with the Note 4 (hold down the back arrow until the drawer slides open and hope whatever app is already open doesn't register that as an actual "go back" action).

"d[-.- posted:

b" post="445463864"]You can also slide down from the top right corner.

From the desktop all that does is open the notification shade, [edit: if a non-multiwindow app is open it does nothing,] and if a multiwindow app is open that just shrinks it down, which is a helpful feature, but not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about getting the multiwindow drawer to slide open in the first place.

Or you can contact Samsung warranty service and make a claim through them. You'll probably be out of pocket for the one-way shipping to Samsung.

When I RMAed my tablet a few months ago they paid for shipping both ways, so v :shobon:

v YMMV I guess.

Android goons. I need a OTG hub that can charge my phone/tablet and power a usb powered 1tb HDD does it exist?

I think this is what you're looking for?

Seems it works to charge the device on some and not others, I suppose it's the ROM.

I was looking for a HUB so she could use multiple flash drives and a HDD but that's better than nothing. Cheers

When I use mine with a SDR stick I have to have everything plugged into it before plugging it into the phone otherwise it won't charge the phone. This is true across multiple devices and manufacturers so I don't think it has much to do with what ROM you're running.

I just tried it with a lovely USB Chinese hub and three USB flash drives and it worked, so it should work for you as well.

It's useful if you don't have signal in your remote bungalow or if you are on a carrier with poor indoor service like Sprint or T-Mobile.

To be fair, Sprint's outdoor service is pretty poor as well.

For some reason, my Kindle Fire is showing 800MB of videos and photos that don't exist. I've tried poking around the file system with ES File Explorer and by plugging it into my laptop, but I haven't found anything that would account for the used space. Any ideas?

You could try https://diskusage and see if you can find/delete the files that way.

I got about 6 months out of my kickstand Spigen case. Do not overly fidget with the kickstand. The side pegs that hold it in are really short and do not handle stress very well.

Can confirm, broke mine off after playing with it too much. :flaccid:

Do they (or someone else) sell replacements?
