Be it about hammers, drones, iPhones, exploding Samsung devices, etc., it belongs here.
Just switched from an HTC One M8 to a LG G5 (and networks from AT&T to Verizon).
The HTC had a Windows operating system, which was actually quite impressive, but the quality of apps was horrendous. Still getting used the Android system, but it is very user friendly.
I love my Androids. Switched from iPhone years ago and have never looked back. Main downside? Bloatware, no doubt. There is too much crap on my phone that I cannot uninstall.
I had rooted each of my last 4 Android phones, but eventually it just became a pain. I've had an S6 Edge for 14 months now, and it still works as good as the day I bought it. If you don't use a custom launcher, you should give it a try. Nova is by far my favorite.
Are you guys telling me there's a way to keep an android smooth and fast for more than 6 months? Cause in my experience, that's not fathomable.
Anyone use this eero system? https://eero.com/
The reviews I read have been overall pretty positive but it's expensive as well. Was wondering if anyone has any hands-on experience with it.
I included Eero in my research for a new wi-fi setup at home. I've got a 10 year old AT&T modem that handles the IP traffic just fine, but the wireless coverage is poor and getting poorer and I've never been happy with the features on the router.
I looked at Eero, Almond, and a few others, with Eero being the most expensive of the bunch by a longshot. I liked Eero's features, but found that those features just weren't worth the extra cost and weren't must-have requirements for me.
I wound up getting a set of 2 Almond 2015 routers, using one as the primary (straight into the AT&T modem) and the other as an extender. I've only had it up and running for a couple of days, but it was easy to configure, has pretty good security, and can integrate directly both with Almond's own home automation stuff, as well as other brands that follow the same standard. My coverage in the house (~3000 sf over 3 floors) is great, and I haven't found any dead spots so far.
