Sometimes screen protectors are great at masking it, or they even absorb that.

I'm pretty sure the Pixel already sports T-Mobile 's Band 66 which is supposed to be the cat's meow. I know the LG V20 has it which is why I'm also considering it over the KEYone, but the Priv is making things difficult. Got all my contacts through with pictures from FB and LinkedIn with zero problems using the Hub instead of the Accounts settings. No SyncME or any other apps. I haven't been able to do that since WP8.1. Sure enough, LinkedIn contact integration was broken on W10M. Figures that MS would break something from a company they bought. Doh!!(Ramble post, feel free to skip...lol)
I bought 2 phones again to work today. I changed my original SE for the Pixel, so I only have the cricket SE.
The difference between speeds is nuts, I never realized how much radios in a phone can make a difference. The speeds on T-Mo for the Pixel are excellent at work. You can't even tell that the signal isn't great. I forgot to try the cricket one in one place I'm in very often but I plan to do that soon, this past weekend has been very busy for me. I have a lot of catching up to do around these parts.
Anyway back to the phones, my observations are the following:
-The Pixel's radios can basically mask any coverage that is weak.
-If I really want to use the SE as a phone, cricket would be the better carrier for me at work.
-If I decide to use the SE on T-Mo, it will be a struggle at work and I have the speed tests to prove it.
I don't need to decide anything now, but I'm going to continue with this to see how it plays out, at least until the end of the cycle. I just have to remind myself to use it...lol

I'm sorry to hear it's so cumbersome.I regret updating my Huawei watch to 2.0. I'm doing more f'ing scrolling to find stuff than I did before. This is the one time I'm glad Lenovo is terrible with updates. I had an unread text message on my phone and there was no easy way to see what the message was and on the next screen it was showing me all the other read messages in the conversation.
I just don't get it. While there are under the hood improvements I like, I just don't get why Google went the direction they did with 2.0. and you wonder why Wear isn't selling.
Thanks. I got an Android Wear device not for it be another device to fiddle around with.I'm sorry to hear it's so cumbersome.
I picked up a Samsung Gear S2 because it was at a very attractive price but I was hesitant since I'm not at all familiar with Tizen. I'm glad I did because it feels much more refined than a Moto 360 I was playing around with while trying to decide. To be perfectly honest, I find it way more functional than an Apple Watch I bought not too long ago.Thanks. I got an Android Wear device not for it be another device to fiddle around with.
Ugh that sounds like such a pain. I'm sorry. :/ I recall how much you like that watch too.Thanks. I got an Android Wear device not for it be another device to fiddle around with.
The issue I have is the focus to push apps on it based on having connection to the internet separate from the phone. Not that such a move is a bad thing, but there are very few things you can do better on a smartwatch than on a phone.Ugh that sounds like such a pain.

I think a fitness focus would be welcomed. I also think streamlining the notification process is welcomed. I do think that strengthening the voice commands is a very good way to go, which I think they did to some degree with the assistant. But the issue is how the hardware is being built to take advantage of the software changes.
I don't want to be scrolling more than I had to. I loved the DND feature that also triggered silent mode on my phone (in wear 2.0, you have to turn the phone AND watch off on silent separately).
I still do some more testing, but so far, I'm not amused.
Thanks, but it's not going to change much. My 360 is the daily driver, so I'll chill with the old software for a while.Ah okay, I wish you luck in your testing, and I hope that it looks up. It seems like it might not, but it would be nice if it does.
Hey Rue, did you get that XZ on the cheap?
