Haven't even noticed it. The only thing I see occasionally is some weirdness from my screen protector. It's a beast phone. Best one I've had.

at work I use my bt buds. Easy to pop in/out of the ears and they hang magnetically around my neck and tuck into my collar if I need them to be hidden.
At home though I have some nice over-ear Sonys that I use whenever I can since they sound so much better. dingle dangle would be required, which is fine until battery gets low. Overall, I'd survive, just sad to see it go.

More connectivity > less connectivity. Sometimes a good old fashioned physical port is right even though bluetooth is (subjectively) better most of the time.
Well, I guess you could get some sort of bruetoofs->wired adapter, something with its own battery and female 1/8" jack. A quick googling: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Liztek-Wi...iver/102744151 "Turns normal headphones and speakers into Wireless Bluetooth devices." $15, and I saw cheaper ones ...nah, I'd never end up using it because all my shit still has jacks. (Even, strangely enough, new 2017 model iPad. Guess crapple figures it's easier on big ol' iPad than little phone where it's really needed more.) I've been using bluetooth stuff a lot more lately. Been getting tons of earphones and speakers for a buck or two each (thanks to elitedealclub; if you try it, be careful nobody else on your IP address uses it or you'll both end up banned). The technology is definitely better than when I last tried it and got irritated at it, but unless I drive around with this shit turned on, paired, and hanging on my neck, it's still a pain in the ass answering calls with it...wired still wins, I can plug it in and answer before it's too late. Great for music and video though! (And for answering calls when already in use.) In the server room, working on the car, watching something good while wife watches lame stuff on the TV...

It's elitedealclub.com
I guess originally it was a free/cheap stuff in exchange for Amazon reviews program, but with changes to Amazon's review rules it's now just free/cheap stuff. I put in as many reviews as Amazon will let me (they limit you to a few "non-verified" reviews per week) anyway, cherry-picking the ones I can honestly give 5 stars. Deals go live at 10am, 2pm, and 8pm Eastern time. There's only one of each item available (most return the next day though). The good items are tough to get, gotta be fast on the draw. Also, it's easy to get banned as if you were abusing the system even if you're not, so make sure you use a dedicated clean portable browser and only do it from the same IP address every time and make sure nobody else is doing it from that IP. Also, don't sign up with a disposable email address, the confirmation emails never arrive.

Signed up with a secondary gmail. Looked through the stuff that is currently available and tried one, it gave me an error when I clicked the coupon button.
Will try to catch it at 10a/2p/8p and I'm now regretting doing this from work because we have some weird NATing shit here so it will probably look like I'm coming from a couple different IPs and if anyone else here uses the site then... fak

Try some other items. Often an item that has already been sold is still listed and you just get a weird error instead of being told it's sold. You aren't obligated to buy something just because you scored the coupon code for it from EDC, but I suspect that too many unused codes will get you banned (at which point you get unhelpful errors on every item).
---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 PM ---------- 2pm Eastern just happened...did you get anything? The big problem with EDC is that I've been blowing a shit ton of money, 60 cents or $2.50 at a time, on a ton of shit I need but would have survived without...as well as little luxuries like bruetoofs and such. You can get one item at 10am, then 4 at 2pm/8pm (not 4 each, but 4 total). Sometimes the server runs so slowly that it can't update its database and I can squeeze multiple 10am items out of it. Today it let me get 5 2pm items, which has only ever happened before when I didn't get anything at 10am. Amazon Prime is almost a prerequisite. Without it you either select things that cost over $25 (before EDC coupon code), or you have to add filler to your cart - and usually you can't add another EDC item, if you do then usually only one item gets the EDC discount. Adding filler is tough, I tried adding regular groceries that I always need but without Prime the selection is awful and the prices are too.

10:04? That's 4 minutes after all the good stuff is gone. You gotta be aggressive at 9:59am, 1:59pm, 7:59pm. Make sure you're receiving the emails, look through it to select a few things ahead of time, then prepopulate your browser's Find with one item, your clipboard with another, and a text editor with a third highlighted so you can copypaste it fast.

My LG Realm has shit the bed. Can't enable WiFi or Bluetooth; it tries but never fully enables, then it gives up after a few minutes. Also Hangouts crashes. Delete wpa_supplicant.conf and reboot sometimes helps temporarily, usually doesn't. Tried a wipe, no better.
Gotta replace motherboard from a spare or just fucking buy something slightly less obsolete already.

Cao get an iPhone X, it's only $1000 and then you can get all the $.80-$2 cases on EDC.

If there's one thing you can depend on finding on EDC every day without fail, it's iPhone cases.

Actually not much good stuff on EDC today.

looks like it,...haven't removed to inspect. ordered a new case since this one broke up top where it bends at the edges. Cant blame the case tho since its not meant to work with a glass protector..maybe a film type yeah but not glass.
