    HP Elite x3 vs. Google Pixel: In Depth Review

    Awesome! Good to know, will have to check it out in it's second iteration after it gets some testing time, I am not going to be a guinea pig anymore. I agree with Android lacking those baked in features, honestly for me, dark theme is a must. And so easy to implement. But it's just not there...

    HP Elite x3 vs. Google Pixel: In Depth Review

    After a week, I'm finding myself really comfortable with Android's features and the OS as a whole. What I like about it compared to iOS which a lot of my friends have, is that it's customizable. Now, whether there is "more" customization compared to Windows can be opinionated but I love making...

    HP Elite x3 vs. Google Pixel: In Depth Review

    I thought I would wait longer to post this and I'm going to try to be as objective as possible but wanted to share my thoughts since getting and using Android for the first time ever. Background: WP user since 2013, 4 windows phones (HTC Surround, Nokia 720, Nokia 1520, HP Elite x3) Bought x3...

    at least once a day now... >:(

    I respond to a text like I normally do. Mid-"send" the text freezes, keyboard cursor is still "blinking," message doesn't leave the area where I typed it, doesn't show up in the conversation window. Buttons stop working. I can press the navigation buttons and get feedback for maybe 5 seconds...

    Freezing again

    I've experience a few random freezes as well. I can recall it happening: during messaging, send a message, lags to send, freezes, turn phone off/on after a phone call, person or I hangup, lock screen stays lit for a period of time, go to press lock button, doesn't do anything. can't swipe up...

    Lap Dock with Android

    I really wanted to with my friends S8 but we both agreed if something went bad, it wouldn't be worth it. may have to find another friend willing to try it.

    Continuum issues with Excel & OneNote

    You know, every once in a while I'll get a notification that there's a new update for the x3 through the wireless lapdock tool app that came out. But the updates don't go through wireless like I thought the app said. Will have to wire it up and download. Thanks

    Creators update on X 3

    I got the update last night. Appreciate the new sounds but they stopped working for whatever reason. Only my text notification sounds are going through, not my emails with the fancy new tones or any other sounds. Other than that, don't notice much.

    Continuum issues with Excel & OneNote

    Sorry to get back so late, was trying to get it to replicate my symptoms but the only time it did was when I was in a meeting of course so I couldn't take a screenshot or a vid of the problems. So far with the creator's update it's been going smoothly.

    Continuum issues with Excel & OneNote

    So have a weird issue only when connected to my lapdock. In Excel: I can't select a single cell. Just can't. It selects a 4x5 rectangle and anywhere I click, it just expands that selection. I can't double click in any cell but if I start typing, it will fill in the most bottom right cell...

    Case Rant

    my silicone one that came with the bundle is also cracking at the bottom. Plus it's a dust magnet so having it my pocket it always a pain. I'm going naked for now, phone looks pretty slick but worry when I have it out sometimes.

    Leaning towards the Elite X3 but unsure???

    To go over some other points you mentioned: The speakers, are very nice and have clarity like no other phone I've had, even at max volume. But they aren't "loud" compared to my 1520. Side by side, I can hear the 1520s music over the x3 but at max volume or calls, there's no comparison. The B&O...

    Leaning towards the Elite X3 but unsure???

    Hi! So first off: camera will be underwhelming no matter what. While I am not a photophile and rarely take pics, it does do ok in good lighting, see below The speed of the shutter is what gets me and the fact you can't turn off the noise. As for the screen, I'm not sure it's much of a...
