WC 1M Post Challenge - You Ready?!

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.

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.

They do. I was considering buying one, too.

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?

Wow, that's hot even for Miami.

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

That's great to hear!

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

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.

That's good! Ah factory resetting is a pain so I don't blame you on not doing it.

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.

It's a backup device for me at this point, which is why I'm reluctant to factory reset it unless absolutely necessary.

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.

Maybe I could get a U11 instead. Lol.

Thanks. We'll see how it goes.
