Just tried the New Sprint Echo - Don't Bother.

Wow, complete fail. I knew I had my doubts about anything made by Kyocera, but I was not prepared for utter cheapness and ugliness of this device. And the screen quality - don't get me started. I felt like I was looking at a Blackberry from 2005.
The dual screen concept is nice and probably will be improved over time. But this first trip out of the barn really is a mule with a broken leg and a bad case of the mange.
If you were tempted to use your EVO trade-up for this device, save your time and money and wait for the EVO 3D.

Right now the only Android MFR's to consider are Motorola and HTC IMHO. Didn't think this device was worth anything anyway
Well OK you can add Samsung to this list

I was looking at this phone when I realized my 2 year was up on April 1st. It seemed interesting but I just knew there wouldn't be any app support for it. I have read a few reviews saying that the hinge, although goofy, is surprisingly strong.
I was going to just wait until the Evo 3D came out and not even get the Evo, but I caved. In a way I'm glad I did though, I have it all rooted and installed C7 on it with Tiamat 3.5.7. I used these forums to customize my hero as well.

Probably sucks now but if Samsung tries it with dual super amoled then it will be great since they are best company at hardware wise when it comes to phones but not software but that is y xda is here

Dual screen cellphones are a great idea. I personally feel they may be the wave of the future just like multimonitor computer setups are so popular now. However, this phone is little more than proof of concept. Sprint will take a bath on this.

Thanks for confirming what I already suspected. I have not had a chance to handle one yet, but the looks alone told me it was gonna be el cheapo. Kind of a shame really. The concept is pretty cool. I don't think it's going to last because of the introduction of flexible LED displays in the near future. Much better if you don't have to have a seam in the middle of your display!

Op, maybe you can complain enough to get the phone removed. You seem to be good at that...

Don't you mean HTC and Samsung? I don't think you'll find a whole lot of love for the Moto phones here on XDA with the encrypted bootloaders and all.

I know some people like the Moto's but I forgot about Samsung and them at the last minute. I'm just glad I didn't forget all together I would have been flammed all over the place

I demo'd this phone in store today, also. Sprint tech was "watching TV" on it at the front counter. Played with it for five minutes:
Hinge has an addicting snap sound to it, as is the whole process of folding/unfolding the phone. Even having a 1GHz Snapdragon, the phone was still laggy (opening apps, scrolling through the drawer). As we all figured, besides the Sprint bloatware, this phone is pretty much AOSP--I don't believe Kyocera ever threw in their own frontend.
Rep was running Sprint TV for roughly twenty minutes, and battery was already down to 78%! Battery percentage indicator is stock, at least. LOL! Kyocera has thrown in an extra battery in the package for a reason.
Screens by themselves are SMALL! We know the specs, but looking at the screen IRL leaves MUCH to be desired. All in all, it's a novelty, at best. You're not getting anything practical out of a dual screen phone unless you ABSOLUTELY need to shave MILLISECONDS off of your time. This phone is a miss for me, which sucks, because I was looking forward to it because my phone upgrade is due in July. EVO 3D, here I come.

My oldest son was buying his finacee an evo while my youngest son and I played the echo...I asked the manager how many they have sold and he said no a one...That was 1:34 pm today.
Within 3 minutes of playing with the echo I was blah....

Critical battery, guess it's been 2 hours, time to change to the other battery :/...

I bought one yesterday to replace my EVO which I have had since launch and had the extended battery for.
I just cannot understand where all the hate for this phone comes from. With the screens open it is nearly tablet sized. I call this phone more of a "tablet crossover", where it does great as a phone and then when needed gives you a ton of room to work on things in near tablet size.
The phone is also pretty small, but thick. Feels good in hand and in pocket and very well built.
Battery life yesterday was fine mostly connected to wifi. Today will be my first day out and about with it.
It has been buttery smooth for me, no stutters or lags. I've already become used to the small black space between the screens and don't even notice it. Not sure on the comment about the screen quality, both displays are superb in my opinion.
Sure, the phone is different than anything we have seen before. So far it has exceeded my expectations and I don't miss the Evo at all. Can't tell you how nice it is to flip the screens together to get some work done and have all the extra space.

A couple other thoughts -
I have mostly used it with apps full screen in tablet mode, and it has worked beautifully for nearly everything I have tried, including apps like Pulse reader.
Simultask works well also, although I haven't found myself using it that much. Was cool when I saw some mails coming in and I was browsing the web, I brought the mail client into one of the screens and continued to browse as I was reviewing mail. Also it's great how the mail client uses both screens to list mail on one screen and review on another.
Camera app is awesome with how it uses both screens.
Pretty much vanilla android 2.2 all the way around. Very nice in that regard.

Actually, I am good at helping people. Perhaps that is why I have 420 thank-you's compared to your 23. If you spent less time attacking me and more time learning enough about Android where you could assist others, maybe you won't look so foolish by comparison next time?

As with any phone, it is a matter of taste. For those who are more into utility and care less about aesthetics, this phone is probably fine. However, I am surprised you don't notice that the image quality on the screen is far inferior to the EVO? Like I said, I am a big fan of THIS IDEA, I'm just not a fan of this phone. Seems more like a proof-of-concept than a finished product.
Glad you like your Echo

Not surprising one bit. This was the last time I ever purchased anything from Kyocera. The lens cover decide to close when you turn the power ON and open when you turn the power OFF...after 2wks of pampering.

Nexus 6P tpu case spotted

Spotted this on amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/DGtle-Anti-Scratches-Premium-Flexible-Protective/dp/B0159QNX80
I can't wait for this phone... 810 or not.
Waiting to see what the other cases will look like.
And interesting lock screen image they have on there.. is that what it's going to look like?

That seems like the Emotion UI from Huawei.
Marshmallow is almost the same as Lollipop.
(I guess you can flash Emotion UI anyway, or just port the lock app )

thats just a faux image, it doesnt have the hump on the back which is shown in every previous leak. just a placeholder image dude

Ok. I was only curious.
And I never mentioned the hump on the back.
But the CASE shows it has room for the hump.

That case doesn't have any room for a hump. The camera, mic and fp scanner are in the right spot tho (according to the leaks) just missing the hump. The leaks could have been a a early prototype tho. We'll see on the 29th

True indeed....the camera and sensors are in the right spot...just missing the hump. I hope they got rid of the hump. I really want the phone but will not get it with that stupid hump in there.
They honestly should have kept the nexus 6 moto design. One thing they could learn from apple and Samsung for that matter is to keep a great design and just build on it till its perfect. They could just made shamu smaller and added the fingerprint scanner where the moto symbol was and that's it.

i liked the moto design it was just a tad too big. and i dont mind the huawei stuff. their premium phones look and feel pretty amazing in the hand. and their fp scanner tech is definitely quick to respond and on point. one of the reasons why i enjoy the nexus line so much (besides the glory and awesomeness that is stock android) is that you know the new nexus wont look the same as last years model. it feels like youre getting a brand new phone every year not just an upgrade

That's true about getting a brand new phone....only problem is if the new phone isn't to your liking you end up waiting 2 years for a new device...hence why I'm using a 2013 N5 instead of N6. I like the idea of a new phone every year with an updated model 6 months later.

i guess the images of the case i was looking at (with a small hump where the hump is) fooled me. I mean, am i the only one who sees it?

Guys I don't know what are you saying.. I. Clearly see the hump.

The hump is just 2 mm, people got fooled by the contrasting colors in pictures but it's not nearly as bad as it seems..

either way you can can clearly see that that photo was shopped. just look at the cut outs. and ill admit that with the new leaks that came out yesterday the hump doesnt look anywhere near as prominent as it did in that 1st leak . i loving the black color though. im already sold on it tbh lol

It's a nexus device, must be original Marshmallow

but waiting to see if spigen is going to have anything for the 6p.

Reading the past posts, the op is definitely the 6P case...also if, IF I get one I'm looking at that Verus case on Amazon... pretty slick.

I'm wondering if/when Spigen will release their cases. I almost exclusively buy their cases every year but I always try other brands as well. I'm the end k use Spigen/Ringke slim on a daily basis so I hope they get announced soon

Does anyone know something about Diztronic cases for N6PP

Or Ringke, I'll be happy with either since Spigen said no to the 6P

At this present time, this is the greatest smartphone of all time IMO

I don't know where to start really. But the Samsung Galaxy S7, to me at least, is the best smartphone I have ever used and I know it is saying a lot, especially for me that have used SO MANY smartphones these past few years. But I have to give credit where it's due.
I have had the Nexus 6P, IPhone 6s and 6s Plus, LG V10 and G4, Note 5, Moto X, some windows phones, HTC one M8 (one of my favorite phone ever) etc....but the S7 is pretty much the phone that seals the deal for me. It checks every box.
I know Samsung gets a lot of hate for some of their decisions in the past with their plasticky build quality and touchwiz being laggy and cartoony and all but they have turned things around big time. They started with the S6, then went on to the note 5 which was already incredible. But this S7 is just on another level, again in my personal opinion. When you consider that the S7 has arguably the best display, best camera, is water resistant, fast charger and wireless charger, great battery life, performance is absolutely STELLAR, the black Onyx is gorgeous, the size is perfect......what phone out there offers you all this package? Seriously I'd like to know.
Of course nothing in life is absolutely perfect. Like the fact that it's a fingerprint magnet and that the Snapdragon versions are having Android system battery drain issues (using the Exynos here) and some having issues here and there. Everyone's experience is going to be different. But from my perspective, this is the phone to beat. There's a lot of rant threads when a phone comes out but not much love. I truly genuinely believe that the S7 is the greatest smartphone of all time right now. Just see what it offers and and compare it to the competition, this is the total package! Freaking love this phone!

I agree. I am picky myself, besides the side facing speaker it is perfect.

I have to agree. It's not perfect, but neither is any other phone. But for me this is the best set of compromises available today (I have the Edge, but the S7 is pretty much the same phone other than screen and battery size). No battery drain issues here on the Qualcomm version, btw. From the forums, I would say it's a small minority of users who have significant battery issues.

It seems that battery life is settling in after a few days for those who have that issue.

I have the SD820 variant and battery life has been a little bit disappointing (only getting around 4-5 hrs SOT), but definitely a great phone. For me the biggest downside is not having the ability to bootloader unlock and root, but hopefully an exploit can be figured out.
Honestly, if this phone had stock android, bootloader unlock/root, and boomsound speakers it would be a perfect smartphone. But as it is, its pretty damn good. The S7 and the 6P are honestly the best android phones of all time.

My 5X could hit 5 hrs SOT mostly because of the tweaks and optimizations I had with root + Xposed. Don't get me wrong, I'd say 5 hrs SOT is pretty good, (like an A- if we were giving grades), it's just that I've heard people easily getting 6+ hrs SOT, so i guess I had high expectations.
Before today, i was barely getting 4 hrs SOT, but then Verizon pushed out an OTA that fixed "connectivity issues" which seemed to improve battery life. I also uninstalled the facebook and messenger app and now use a third party app called Toffeed.

I'm all stock and this is me right now. Still got 30% left and I used it heavily since I'm off today. What a freaking beast. Samsung should have made all the S7 Exynos.

That's insane, I wish all variants had the Exynos. I'm pretty sure the Exynos is Samsung's own SOC, I'm pretty sure it's better optimized for the device. Overall the Exynos has better battery life and performance than the SD820

Yeah. And it has the unlocked bootloader. That's why I'm so happy with this S7, it just has zero compromises for me. Even the speaker being bad is blown out of proportion to me. It's definitely not the best but it surely suits my needs.

I must admit. Having been a htc fan for the last 5 flagships at least the s7 is a refreshing change. However there's one thing and for me it's a very big thing.
Thanks to Samsung going against the openness of android etc and making some s7's completely unroot able. And there being no custom Roms out to try despite the phone being out for a couple of weeks. Development is nil.
I'm on xda for a reason and that's to mod my device and improve it by flashing the work of some of the great devs here. Yes my variant has root now but if I wanted this amount of anti modding security etc I would have bought an iPhone.
Now I know I'm new to Samsung but I have been told the s6 development was quiet. I in all honesty can see me selling up for the htc ten or another device made by a oem who at least allows developm3nt. So on one hand I have a stunning device. On the other it's not worth me keeping as I cant do anything near I used to on my m9. I shall keep my eye on the s7 forums over the next two weeks

Have just about every new phone to date including the iPhone 6S. The S7 IMO is the very best. I put the IQ Shield, I think that is what it's called, goes on wet and when dries it is invisible. Have it on front and back. Eliminates fingerprints, when I go out I put it in a case. The S7 is the perfect size, lightning fast and beautiful design. One thing I find is the LTE radio is very strong, great reception, GPS is very fast, couldn't be happier.

Overall love

Yes, yes, it's possible to love a phone. Heck, you sleep next to it, don't you? Rate this thread to indicate your love for the OnePlus 6T, all things considered. A higher rating indicates that the OnePlus 6T is an incredible phone that you enjoy tremendously. You love it.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Love is such a strong emotion, I really really like this phone.

In full love for the new flagship. OnePlus 6T is finally in my hands. Just simply amazing. The design, especially the new tear-drop notch and the slight curvature at the back is wonderful. Feels solid in hand, though slippery. Now it's my responsibility to protect it. Will have to treat it with kids glove..

Enjoying it very much. I came from a pixel xl 2 and the few things i missed are slowly fading.
Camera is good enough. I'm not taking award winning photos anyway but this camera gets the job done.
Full quality photos upload. I still have my pixel and the only photos i care to keep at full quality are from my dedicated camera so i can just transfer to the pixel and upload. Same goes for the OnePlus. The 4k 60fps seems to upload at full quality without a hit on my space if i transfer from my OnePlus to my pixel.
The squeeze for Google Assistant. I used this a lot when my phone was off. I was missing it but then remembered OnePlus has off screen gestures. I just customized one for Google Assistant. Problem solved.
Really like the gestures navigation and the extra screen real estate it provides along with the subtle notch. It's not too intrusive and it's hidden the PROPER way.
Pixel 2 feels better in hand and is lighter which is better for one handed prolonged use. Plus the back is not a smudge King like one OnePlus.
Need better accessories for this phone. Cases are sorely lacking. I don't see myself switching back to the pixel anytime soon.
8gb RAM is legit!! Reduced app loading nice

Why did I not think of this!! THANK YOU!!

Coming from an everyday driver Note 8, so far so good. Really like the feel of the phone in the hand and the speed it has. Another is the built in dark mode and ability to change the text color without root or substratum. One there's an official twrp I will be rooting basically for adaway. Also liking getting away from touchwiz.

True love

I have concern with loudspeaker. It seems to be too much towards high tones. There is no balance between high tones and "bass". I'm no sound specialist but I hope you know what I mean.

Love that built-in dark mode as well, and the text color change.
Was still on a Note5 and the trade in for T-Mo was too good to ignore. Love the phone so far, and nice that I don't have to use other apps to overcome TouchWiz, although it was never really that obtrusive on my Note5 anyway.
Just wish they allowed you to auto rotate the home screen with the stock launcher, and also I forgot what a PITA Google can be with making you do things their way - I would really love to have the ringtone and notification alerts separated again so that I can change the volume independently without using a separate app. I forgot Google combined them a while back. They used to have a checkbox that you could select to combine the volume functions ONLY IF YOU WANTED.
Otherwise, I don't miss wireless charging as much as I thought I might, but only because this really is an all-day+ battery phone.

Been waiting along time for a US carrier to pick up OnePlus. It's everything I thought it would be and more.

I'm the same way. Had 2 invites to buy the first OnePlus device, but I was Verizon (unlimited data). I've had a OnePlus shirt for years. I do miss always on display a lot. I really don't want to root because it's a hassle to keep up with.

The squeeze for Google Assistant. I used this a lot when my phone was off. I was missing it but then remembered OnePlus has off screen gestures. I just customized one for Google Assistant. Problem solved.

You know that you can enable Google Assistant to trigger with a long press on power button, don't you?

You can't do that on the TMobile variant right? Even so, I'd like to keep from overusing the power button. Plus the gesture is much cooler. [emoji16]

My first OnePlus Phone and I LOVE IT!

To echo much of the sentiment here. This is my first 1+ device. This thing is Incredible. Anyone who is hesitating, don't. This device runs way better than my P2XL ever did.

Feeling in hand, performance, battery life, screen. Overall is a WIN WIN!

can someone tell me about sound quality of this phone in speaker and headphone?

In full love for the new flagship. OnePlus 6T is finally in my hands. Just simply amazing. The design, especially the new tear-drop notch and the slight curvature at the back is wonderful. Feels solid in hand, though slippery. Now it's my responsibility to protect it. Will have to treat it with kids glove..

Yes, the OnePlus 6T comes with a very good case. Some Smartphone manufactures, like Xiaomi sends cases by default. But the cases are crap.
The case is so good that I will not buy another, maybe just an original case.

A beautiful phone with amazing battery life and an under-display fingerprintreader!

Nice I can't wait. I should get mine tomorrow! Finally get to use oneplus on Verizon!

OnePlus 7 Pro in hand

I was at the launch in NY and picked up a 7 Pro 12/256GB.
Guys this phone is sick fast, I'm not sure how they could make it any faster.
When I first heard about the phone having a pop-up camera I was worried because I use face unlock all the time. Face unlock is just as fast as before even with the camera having to raise up.
As for the camera I'm not a professional photographer just an average user and I can tell you the camera is fine. All the photos I took camera out good for me. For comparison I thought the camera on the 6t also was fine.
24hrs in and I have to say the phone is awesome. It might be the best phone I have ever used.
If you have any questions feel free to ask.
Edit...more thoughts
One of the things that really stand out to me is the haptic feedback when typing. It feel amazing! It almost feels like your pushing down on a keyboard buttons when typing.
I'm not sure about the battery...seems like that might be the weakest point but we will see after a few days onces things settle in.

Could you please test GCam mod for 6T and see what works and what don't?

You got the blue one, right? How do you like the color?

That's great news about Face Unlock. How's the new fingerprint reader? Does the phone feel heavy?

I didn't have a choice of color at the event...they only had blue. I always get black so it's a nice change but I already covered it up with a case
The blue is super sexy.

Fingerprint reader is a step forward...I think they said it was 36% bigger. It definitely seems faster.

How hard to hold is it? The OnePlus 6 is like a bar of soap without a case, and the op7 pro looks like it's going to be even worse.
Did the OnePlus folks say anything about a oneplus made glass screen protector?

Are you using it with tmobile?

Cool. Thank you. I would rather go black or gray but like you said, it will get into a case anyway... My McLaren is beautiful but the clear cases are just awful do it got covered...
Getting the blue as well Thanks again.

The phone is extremely slippery...maybe the slipperiest phone I've ever held.
They did not mention Anything about a screen protector during the presentation. I did pick up a puregear protector at the T-Mobile store when I purchased my phone.

I had already set that up from when I had my 6t. This time all I did was put my sim in the phone and I was good to go.

Yeah mine is still on my account as well so I shall be good to go as well!

Got mine today from Miami and I'm loving it. Agree with the OP. Just as an aside it comes with a decent enough clear silicone (tpu?) case in the box. Nice touch by OnePlus.

Can I please get this very important question answered. AOD? And does the notification light edge work with all notifications? 2 main factors that might help or stop me from buying the phone. I've already ordered 2 cases from Amazon even though I can't get phone until Monday. TIA for all feedback. I've searched 30mins of YT reviews and none actually talk about notifications oddly enough

I played with it today as well, I think it's kinda klunky but still nice. .
Would one of you guys be so kind to do a full DD dump of this phone when u get it? Me and some others would like to port some stuff to fajita and enchilada..if interested, let me know I can send a script to make it easier and this will make rooting pretty much a given and be done right after we get this.
By the way...what's the nickname?
