HTC 10

He was back there a couple weeks ago and i believe he's finished now. It was all in the local newspapers here (nothing too exciting happens here so it was big news) and pictures of him in the bars around Dingle. There is a video of Chewbacca making a local pitstop at one of the National (Primary) Schools too and the kids going mental Tourism is big business here in Kerry so StarWars has been great.

That's awesome. I probably would have gone mental too. We've had a couple of movies filmed here, mostly because we're pretty backwoods - so it's a nice setting for that. Some of the scenes from Gone Girl were filmed about 20 minutes from my house. That's pretty much our claim to fame.

That's cool. Yeah i know all about living in the backwaters too .

Guys from Ireland and USA think that they live in 'backwaters' or 'blackwoods'. You really don't understand what those mean

Anyway, MRU, come to Croatia, we always have beautiful weather. It's 32c atm, and its 18:21 here.
Anyway, this is where I am from:

Maybe I live in 'backwaters', but at least it's one of the most beautiful places in the world. Too bad I don't get to go outdoors much, and even when I do, I don't take pictures. I'm a 'true coder', and that means I am a complete anti talent for any kind of design, aesthetics, photography, etc.

The Nilkinn nature case arrived today. It's great. Very thin so almost just feels like a skin but preserves the look of your device.

I like a case like that because it really shows off the phone, which looks great.
I'm just concerned though over how much protection it would offer if you dropped your phone on a hard surface.
BTW are you using a screen cover, MRU? And if so what kind?

My home screen, sorry bad pic, I texted this screen shot, so low quality;



I have the T-Mobile U.S. version, Unlocked, rooted with custom TWRP Recovery ( Not S-Off yet ) running LeeDroid ROM. Runs waterfall smooth, and so far getting like 5.5h Screen On time, the first full day, will get better after it settles in.

This is a really sweet phone IMO. I had the Note 5, rooted and ROM'd and that thing was a beast, super fast, crazy smooth, and just great. But...it still was a tad larger than I like, and for being a phablet the Note 5 had a small 3,000mAh battery, which is shocking Samsung put such a small battery in such a large phone. I was tweaking the Note 5 left and right trying to squeeze out phablet style battery life, but could barely keep 5h to 5.5h Screen On time at best, whereas phablets should be easily doing 6h Screen On time with ease.

This HTC 10 is already giving me my ROM'd Note 5 type battery life, and that's before big tweaks and custom kernels, this phone will only get better.

Bring on CM13 ROM's

How come AT&T doesn't have this phone yet?

Yes it's a very nice phone.
I noticed on mine the battery got noticeably better after a week or so.

Yep same here. Took a full week before battery settled in.

My 10 current layout

Cool theme MRU, those purples with the wallpaper, look great together.

How much bloat does the T-Mobile variant have?

 

[Tig Bitties]

How much bloat does the T-Mobile variant have?

A bit, but nothing like the evil ATT and Verizon, those two carriers are a joke, and crap all-over their branded phones.

Still blows me away, Apple won't allow any carrier apps on the iPhone, but every carrier Android phone, gets pooped on.

But this phone is so easy to root, allowing you full control, just do it.

I really like this HTC 10, but man I wish Google still kept the GPE phones going. The One M8 GPE in my opinion was the coolest Android phone of 2014, a beautifully made device, running stock Android directly supported and updated by Google. A GPE 10 would be the best. Well I guess the second best thing, would be the stable release of CM13 on the 10, which is months away, but will be worth the wait.

HTC Nexus. Fingers crossed.

 

[Tig Bitties]

HTC has been heavily rumored to be the manufacturer on two new Nexus phones due in Sept / Oct, a 5.0" and 5.5", guess time will tell.

Also Huawei is also rumored to still be on board for making a next gen Nexus device, now maybe they are making a Tablet, or maybe the rumors of a 7P are true, basically the same overall phone as the 6P, except with updated specs like the SD820 + 4GB RAM, and thicker stronger aluminum build, like the iPhone 6 to 6S change are rumors I have also heard.

So it may realistically play out like this. HTC makes a high end smaller Nexus phone at 5.0", and Huawei makes the 7P, and then the Nexus tablet made by HTC.

 

[Cole Slaw]

I've read a rumour that Huawei will be making an upgraded 6P for fall release, with improvements like a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 and 4GB of RAM.
Who knows.

 

[Tig Bitties]

Yep, I expect to see a Huawei Nexus 7P, pretty much same thing as the current 6P, just with current flagship specs. And HTC most likely making the smaller Nexus phone, but with high end quality and flagship spec's, and HTC maybe making the next tablet.

As long as it's better than the Nexus 9 which is best left forgot ....

 

[Cole Slaw]

I hope if HTC makes the next tablet it has better QC than the Nexus 9.
Briefly had one of those and I thought the quality was sadly lacking. If it was priced more like the old Nexus 7 (2013) I could overlook it perhaps, but it wasn't.
Probably the worst light bleed I've ever seen in a device.
HTC makes great quality phones but after my experience with the N9 I'm not feeling so confident an HTC tablet would be a good thing.

Yeah, I'm really surprise how well my M8 GPE has held up, running really smooth and looks very slick. The only thing that really ages it is the camera and speed wise is a little slow loading apps, but for the most part it's still nice to use.
