interesting take on Allo/Duo: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/09/google-allos-limitations-explained-in-one-word-india/
the main idea is that google loves India and Indians love google, so it made sense to tailor towards that crowd, which meant having a standalone video chat app. i don't know if i buy his logic completely but i do know that Indians love google. pretty much every indian i know owns a nexus, and nearly everyone i know who has a nexus is indian. and cell phones are probably 50% of spent income in india.

Isn't the CEO of Google an Indian? Makes sense I guess, that's a lot of potential customers down there

Turns out the Auto-Heart Rate checker was the major drain on this Gear Fit 2. Lasted about 5 hrs with it on but since I charged it yesterday driving home from work up to about 80% it's holding on now at a solid 40%.
And speaking of battery life my latest routine of charging and utilizing battery save mode on my Note 7 has been steadily givin' me about 20+ hours of power with about 3.5hrs OST

It's funny cause everyone (including myself) has been asking for an HTC Nexus for years now. It's finally happening, they just did a lazy job on it.
There's 1.25 billion people over there and millions more all around the world. Maybe Google figured if they'd adopt it, it'd spread from there.

It's more money for google and, more importantly, more data. Imagine how much data they get from tracking a billion people at once. :x
Sometimes I want a more specialized phone, even if I have to pay extra, instead of a one-size-fits-all that caters equally to everyone. But then I look at vertu and instantly change my mind.

Im not impressed. And Apple realistically can't do a damn thing. You are using an old iPhone or a Mac as a server. Basically your own private messaging server. Imessage goes to Mac which then goes to your phone. Once the message is in your mac, there is nothing apple can do to prevent you from doing what you like. Smart thing for Apple to do is sell people messaging servers to use this. I e. Basically a mac mini based off an iPhone. You would then plug it into your home router. Way cheaper than using a mac, iPad or old iPhone to do the same.
Or sell an imessage app on the play Store for 50 bucks lol. People would pay, maybe even a subscription based service

Wait they haven't released it yet?
LG needs to work on their marketing strategy. Announcing a phone without any details and months ahead of release date is really dumb in this saturated market.

Who knows, its been a major gripe of mine for the past few years. Only samsung, apple and htc seem to have a release window inside of 30 days of announcement. The axon 7 was announced the last week of may and didnt make it to the market til like before the note 7 preorders shipped.

Man I wanna get that phone, actually the A7 PRO. I can't really tell the difference between LTE or H+ when I use Internet Explorer so I'll take that sacrifice if I can ever get the A7 Pro for good proce

Does everyone phone does this? Ex. I'm talking to person A then person B calls . So i click over to person B. I finish talking to person B and still have person A on hold. Now when person B hangs up. The phone automatically switches back over to A. Does anyone else phone do that?

isn't that how it's supposed to function? I think to keep them on hold, you would have to manually put them on hold
