Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Nice, I hope it works out for you this time. I mean with the headphones, that is.
I'm going with the wireless (the Sony's) this time. I haven't tried it with the wired headphones for calls since MIUI 9 was installed. Maybe I'll try it, maybe not.

I see Black Friday is fast approaching...

I wonder how many people will die this year for 'cheap stuff'....

WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

I don't get how people are still surprised that someone can work in education and not teach. Another question I always get after saying what I do is if I want to teach sometime. I like working in education but not teaching.

I debate if I'll want to continue doing education or just go public. Both have pros and cons. Public pays more, (higher) education pays less but I feel more comfortable in education. I think if I could do public, there has to be a balance with what I'm doing when it comes to dealing with people directly.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

So my supervisor sees my Huawei watch and asks "is that a Fossil watch?".

Nope, this was before Fossil really jumped into AW full force.

Oh wow, does that happen much to you? I'm surprised that this happened, but I can get why. The Fossil ones look really nice.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

So...battery life on standby has been really good on Mi Note 2, as expected. Even on standby with the ROM I have on the V20 the battery life is suspect (for my needs).

Wear 2.0 is still funny on my Huawei watch, with a few reboots.

Every time I use the Mi Note 2 as a daily driver I'm reminded if why I still keep it. I still may get Andy's phone, but in days when I don't want something compact, the Mi Note 2 just works.

Haven't tested the call issue yet though, so we'll see.

Can someone please verify that it’s November?

Battery life on the Mi Note 2 has been solid today. Still feel with a factory reset it would be better.

Battery life on the Pixel XL has been superb. I'm usually at 40% with 4+ hour SOT every night.
Consistently.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

That's great to hear!
I always like this phone. But I've always loved the Mi 5 more. If the Mi 5 had the Mi Note 2's LTE radios, I'd have been set. I liked the lighter feel of the Mi 5...the only other phone that has that now is the V30. Some people find it cheap when holding it naked, but I don't mind that feather light yet very sleek and powerful look.

I can now relate to what libra89 meant by "no battery life anxiety"

The little Pixel was fine. But at 4+ hour SOT meant the phone needed to be plugged in as battery saver would kick in below 15%. That phenomenon has yet to occur on the XL.

I'll report back on how the battery life is on the Pixel 2 next week.

That sounds so good! I'm curious how it will compare to the Pixel 2.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

I'm trying this Bluetooth headset + wired USB-C headphones life to see if I can tolerate it before buying Andy's phone.

Honestly, if I had the extra cash I'd buy it and a V30 at the same time and sell everything else...

That's a great plan. Good luck with your testing.
