beat me to it!
But is it a phone ... well one with a large enough screen for those of us who might use it more "conventionally" like presently or more of a digital assistant?

No camera on the HP? Two steps forward, four steps back. HTC,of course,takes it to the next level. This might even run WM7.....

Everyone's waiting for it! The problem is, the omni is only a rumour at the moment, and noone has ever confirmed if this would be reality. At least HP's words can be trusted upon, and i'm damn well sure we would have the "Oak" by september I'm seriously tired of waiting for an upgrade for my Uni which never seems to be coming out....
I've no longer got any faith in HTC in doing us justice, so, shift in loyalty expected soon dudes
Hehe,

Sure, atleast I dont need a camera....so it doesnt hurt me in any way!
WM7 - all right, what makes you think HP cant provide an upgrade?
If by the time HP launches it, if wm7 exists, i'm sure they'll get it to run wm7!
Unreliable HP track record. I wont buy hoping they will offer the upgrade later. Once bitten twice shy.

[APP][RELEASED]uShout

So, I am working on a new Android app and I would love some input on it.
The basic idea is that you can easily "chat" with other random users. I find this very hard to explain without showing so I will just run through the process here. You launch the app then you can write something in a text box and "shout it". The message gets uploaded and then you download a message that someone else has shouted out. You can then either download another message or reply to the message you have, effectively initiating a conversation with that person.
All comments and feedback appreciated, preferably on the Connect-UTB forums but I will check here as well
UPDATE: The app is now out on the Market.. feel free to give it a go!
Interesting
Glad you think so! It will be on the Market soon enough I think, depending on what feedback I get from this limited beta test.
Add different colors for each user and make it like a live update not to press the Grab new shout then it updates Other then that the UI is Good.
Thanks for the ideas. I will make it grab a new shout when you post one (i think, maybe make it a setting).
Not sure what you're thinking when it comes to the colours though? Give each user a unique colour? As in their name? Something like:
Reply from Bob: Hey darling
Reply from Alice: Hey handsome

Yes exactly like that
So this is kind of like a chatroulette/omeggle kinda idea, is that right?
Interesting
Alright, I will give it some though.
I am not sure how to implement the live updates though. Been thinking about it for a while and havent decided on the best way to do this yet, so any suggestions would be welcome!

You could ask some twitter developers because they have the auto updating feature.
sorry i cant personally help im just learning java.
Yeah I agree, maybe there's an open source twitter app?
Re: [BETA][UNDER DEVELOPMENT]uShout
Its not the coding that is the problem, its just figuring out how I want it to be.
Also I'm figuring out how I shouts should be grabbed. Now it just grabs the newest (if you don't have any replies) so if lots of shouts are being posted then most of them might never be read. However I don't want users to get the same shout twice so I have some thinking to do.
Thanks for testing it though. I think it can be a fun app once it gets published on the market

1. Maybe add an option to make the random user a favourite or friend?
2. Also add an icon/picture to your name?
3. An option to add a picture to your post? i.e. "look what I saw today!" - picture.jpg

Would be neat for proximity shout and preference like only want to receive from a female/certain age/or only pictures if not already implemented.
Hmm, interesting. I have been wanting to keep images and pictures of it due to the nastyness that tends to show up. However, a male/female setting would be nice.

So...who got a Chrome Book?

I and some friends registered Tuesday but nothing came in today. Just curious if anyone here got one.
I am so surprised and happy that I got picked by Google to test out there new Chrome laptop. I came home and found it on my front door wating for me from UPS overnight air! Hope I get to keep it after the program is done!

I really don't know about that cause it didn't come with any paper work about it or the program and the email didn't say anything like that. I'm guessing i'll get an email from them soon wanting to know what I think about it. I am already doing that on Facebook and Twitter so i'm not worried about it.

Nope, its optional if you want them to collect data or no. good luck to you
i've signed up lets see if any luck here
I registered for one. We will see whether I will get it. It will be complementing my Galaxy Tab now.
I want one too. For anyone who cares, I have found this forum on slickdeals.net, it's pretty interesting, 137 pages so far...
And also a Google CR-48 Tracker to see if there is one coming to a town near you...
I just checked that tracker with my zip code. Two were heading to my town but both were already delivered
I signed up on Thursday so I guess I missed out on the first wave.
Maybe third time's the charm?

Let's hope. I have seriously applied so many times. At max, five separate times under my own name, once under my alias name, and my mother. Let's hope the tracker reflects something tomorrow for my area.
And I know this netbook may be cheap and the specs may suck, but look, I want one of these just to feel like I actually won something (that isn't the lottery) for once. I feel like I deserve it, truly. I could provide decent feedback, and maybe contribute a great way to their developing OS. Plus, I love Google. I love Android, I own a Nexus One, soon to own a Nexus S, and I think that this book would be a nice addition to my Google collection, not to mention, I bet there will be awesome ways to connect between your Android device and the book... I apologize for the rant.

I get what you mean. I NEVER win any contests or anything. I really hope I get this though, and the fact that two people in my zip code got one overnight is pretty reassuring!
I would love to own a Chromebook as I don't have a laptop/netbook/any kind of advanced portable device like a smartphone. It would be really great to have a laptop for classes (I'm in college) but I can't afford it right now so Google could really make my Christmas! Plus I never wanted a full-on slow, annoying Win 7 netbook anyway--it just didn't seem ideal. My ideal portable device is pretty much exactly what the Cr-48 is!
I have high hopes, but I know there's a pretty good chance I won't get it.

[Q] anandtech review?

So does anyone know if / when the anandtech review of the nexus 5 will be released? Can't find it.
And why exactly would you need it? I think there is already every information imaginable on the forums or in other reviews.

No, I've just been wondering that if you were looking for something specific we could provide it
If you look at Brian Klug's twitter feed (@nerdtalker), you'll notice that he's both working on it and sick of people asking about it. At one point he made a joke about adding 300 minutes delay every time someone asks.

Great! I've been waiting for it too. :good:
People who matter listen to what Brian Klug has to say, so if there's something that needs improving and he points it out, there's a chance something will be done about it.
Edit:
Great review, as expected!
"Nexus 5 has the best calibrated display I’ve seen so far in any Android handset."
High praise indeed.

Great news it seems! Has anyone seen this??

This was the only reason I had to refund my poco.
If this gets confirmed I'll be more than glad to get it once again.
What do you guys think?
Seems like the real deal to me.

I have read the post, I understand why he can't share out the fix. Because he has no right to do that. Some jerks there are trying to provoke him and xiaomi for not share out.

Well I wouldn't share it either.
This would break their trust and besides that it may have side effects in the long term we are not aware of, they may need to finalize the firmware before rolling it out.

Agree, people provide a secret firmware fix as a trust to you, just don't break the trust. Some 'Clever' people are simply ridiculous.
Some said he will share straight away once he confirms it is fixed.
some ask the OP to upload the fix at some other link so people can share the fix..
Omg, they are so 'clever'.

Heh, I like the way you put it.
Seriously, they need to get a life.
I saw there is one large jerk who has sold his poco f1 because of the touch issue and change to Nokia 7 plus.
Now that this post is out, he is now spamming and spreading virus in there.
He must be so sad that the fix is out but he can't do anything because he has sold it already.
I will pray for him.........to get Tombstone Piledriver by The Undertaker and Attitude Adjustment by Joooohhhnnnnnn Ceeeeeeeeeennnnaaaaaaa!!!!!

Look I was unoptimistic as well, but this has been fixed before with this exact same method on another device I owned myself, so it can be fixed.
The thing is Xiaomi hasn't ever provided feedback on this issue, that's why everyone, me included, thought this wouldn't get fixed.
Now that we have video evidence I'm confident this will be resolved as well.
P. S. if you're baiting, it's a hell of a bad one fyi.

What the hell does ping have to do with screen input latency?
The measuring is done with the android developer option: "Show pointer location." not with PUBG.
Ping has nothing to do with that.

I hear you.
Well since a dev managed to find a fix I'd think this would be included in the next beta or two, and most likely in the next stable as well.
(if no side effects are found that is)
I understand your frustration, but don't tell me about it, since this annoyed me so much that I refunded my phone just for this, and use a redmi note 3, my backup phone, for the time being.

Not gonna bother explaining what kind of lag is the one you refering vs the real issue this device has.
You either understand or not.
Also google is your friend, use it.
And yes of course I saw the video, if it wasn't clear to me this was a real fic I wouldn't have made the thread, I have enough experience with electronics to understand, that's what I studied and got a degree in as well.

Here is official response from Alvis(Head of Pocophone global)
https://mobile.twitter.com/atytse/status/1061252037315305478
Enjoy.
Ugh, I'm sick of them talking and throwing empty promises at us, just implement the fix and be done with it already... Anyway, the guy who received the fix said it didn't work with the latest Pie beta so they will have to rework it for new updates if they really plan on releasing it at all.
