nice and welcome to the cool

Love running phones careless.
My iPhone 7 that I still use at home often is essentially flawless, and lived most of its life outside of a case. The 6 and my 13 Pro go caseless quite a bit too. Typically when a phone is whiteout a case, I tend to pay better attention to where I put it, how I use it, and how I hold it.
I drop phones more often in a case, as opposed to without.
Excellent point, about taking better of care of a caseless phone compared to being in a case. Thanks.
I love caseless as well and I drop it less without a case. But having a 7 year old and 14 month old around it’s just too risky.
Anyone else having a weird bug where sometimes when you pull the notification shade down, the notification area itself is only transparent with your content blurred in the background, and not black? Seems to occasionally do for that me and I'm thinking it's just a bug that will need to be patched.
Yeah that one has been happening since day one. There's a Reddit thread about it where someone posted to say can we all agree the blur is much better than the black pull down - and I agree.
Thankfully, 9 times out of 10 I get blur instead of black haha so I hope that bug gets patched to keep the blur ?

We have been discussing battery on another thread over at Android Central and I'm one that normally charges overnight but I like to always do some testing and zero in on a more efficient phone .. I would like to get this overnight drain down closer to .6 on standby ... I normally charge overnight and once using the phone I'm getting good SOT so it's really not an issue but since I'm doing testing and others are testing as well, I want to get a feel out for what you guys are seeing when the phone is in doze or deep sleep...
it's funny, I have a swath of Microfiber cloths from various purchases over the years, they sit at my desk, counters, bedroom, and various rooms for me to set my devices on.
We all work hard to earn these toys, so it is nice to experience them how they were intended (I think?). No case, just the raw materials that make them feel premium.
Oh and random...
No way.

Will not have the opportunity to make it to your neck of the woods for quite a bit now. Got this pack at the bottle shop in my neighborhood when looking for thanksgiving beverages.No way.

Looking forward to giving it a try!
I believe it happens after you manually adjust brightness control from the notification pulldown. Or at least that triggers it to some degree.
Only glitch I have seen which I am sure is a t-mobile issue is that visual voicemail is wonky when deleting a voicemail. The screen turns black when trying to access the button which I think has to do with the screen resolution and the camera hole.
I have a new 16” MBP and it’s a pretty amazing device—and I have absolutely nothing in my daily workflow that takes advantage of its capabilities. ? That being said, performance is amazing, the screen is gorgeous and battery life lives up to the hype. It’s nobody’s dedicated machine in my household yet but I chose it over the MBA because my son has been doing work with CAD software for engineering and the extra oomph can help. I also had $1500 of unused older intel Mac laptops so it wasn’t much to upgrade (have an Apple employee in the family so had a discount
So, all that being said, if I was in your shoes I’d just get a new M1 MBA. It’s a little power house with a really nice display and ridiculous battery life—and it’s dead quiet since it has no fans. If you’re just using it as a secondary device, it’ll be way more than enough. Hell, Apple has refurb units (basically brand new, same warranty support) for only $849. I’ve picked up 4-5 over the years, including my wife’s work computer and never had any issues. Save the extra $1200-$1500 you’d spend on a MBP and put that towards a new iMac Pro (or whatever it’s called) when it’s likely updated later this year.
Thanks. I hate giving up my iMac, but I'm getting rid of my desk in favor of a recliner in the living room. I'd get the MBA, but there's the lack of ports compared to the MBP... plus the "older" chipset.
Just curious, why would you use the TMobile visual voicemail app when the built in version that Google provides is miles better?
