I would like to try the OnePlus 3 or Axon 7 but don't want to downgrade my camera. When at an out of town zoo I loved being able to control the ISO and shutter speed on the fly on the tram ride that circles the zoo.

I have a DSLR for that

The axon 7 is what I was considering as a replacement for my Find 7a. ZTE last I checked still hadn't unlocked the bootloader though. Also don't really want a 1440p screen. 1080 is good enough for me, plus better battery life.

Can't fit in your pocket

If i go somewhere to take pics, the dslr is in my hands or on my neck. I usually always at least have it in the truck

Today we made the switch from verizon to T-Mobile. We went from sharing 6gb between two lines to unlimited for about $20 less monthly, all while my wife got an iPhone 7 and I ended up with a free new Samsung. It helped that we got amazing trade in value for her three year old 5s.

 

Setting up all of my apps and settings on the new phone were the only nuisance.

I just ordered an iphone 7 plus. I kind of hate myself for it

I pre ordered also. It was time to upgrade my 5. The 128GB should be nice as I easily max out my 32gb now

Probably artificial scarcity. No way Apple is too stupid to realize how many they need. And no way Apple can't secure sufficient production if they wanted to.

Not sure what they gain by artificially doing that to the preorders.

News and demand. People want what they can't have. The harder something is to find, the higher the perceived value. Remember the $500 Tickle me Elmo's?

I like how people pay all this money for their shiny new iphone and then are never there to receive it when it's delivered. There's a paper you can fill out and sign for the UPS driver to leave it, but most people don't do that (I wouldn't). Even better is when UPS upgrades them to Saturday deliveries because they weren't delivered during the week and people still aren't home to receive them. Oh well I got paid the same regardless if I delivered them or not. Well actually I got more time since they were end of day instead of before noon time commit.

      Is 2027 GMC Yukon Getting a 682-HP Supercharged V8?

      By CaptPat51 · Posted

      Would you supercharge the 6.2L on a 2021 GMC Yukon Denali XL with ProCharger?.... 605HP is the stated number without going crazy - it's not the LT4 682HP package, but I'm tempted to install it... This vehicle was ... not... recalled on the engine swap - but I don't really know if that means ...don't do it... or do it;)    Maybe i should start a prediction market pool on it in case it blows up;)   Any thoughts appreciated - I already OWN the supercharger - stopped the installation when the recall was announced and now it's taking up space in storage until I can solve an electrical issue with the vehicle...  4th GMC suburban-equivalent truck - I like them a lot - when they don't a) discharge their batteries randomly, or b) throw a rod at highway speeds;)

      2021 Yukon Electrical Issues

      We tested the sleep mode with an ammeter in series with the negative battery terminal - 30amp fused - so we do know the actual shutdown and non-shutdown current draws and timing of the shutdown sequence.  We just have no protocol information to determine what module is issuing the network keep alive.

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By Vu1can · Posted

      TrueBlue...Even if you don't have that info stuff displayed, If Mr. Computer thinks there's something you should know about, it will pop up a warning message no matter what else is being displayed. I keep the speedometer displayed all the time, yet the brake pad message pops up anyway.

      BTW, the 11.5amp draw is all the usual systems active - it's not a single draw - that's the "we're all awake" state of the vehicle - forinstance if the power steps are actuated, the draw will spike to 22amps for that operation.  when the battery is disconnected and then reconnected, the vehicle shuts down that one time only - and we see a 10-15minute progression down 11.5  10.5  9. 8 6. 5. 1.6... 500ma... and then off to sleep at 40 milliamp... as expected.  So we know it's a module that is simply refusing to allow the SDGM to proceed to the sleep state.  We do NOT think it is the telematics VIM module - since we already duplicated the problem with the "VIM bypass" solution installed (we reverted that since it also disables the gmc app - but it does not appear that the telematics system is the culprit).  We've replaced the rear heater control module, tested without the wireless charger, and the other modules on CAN Bus 5 - but still something is keeping us awake and removing X2 from SDGM allows sleep to proceed.  We cannot diagnose from OBD since OBD drops off at about the 9volt level in sleep mode and we can't communicate with the vehicle - also we can't trace the SDGM internal packets from the OBD side - we have Autel Ultra.   Any ideas on why disconnecting X2 would allow sleep to proceed appreciated.  This is no longer a repair situation - this vehicie is simply unusable in this condition and NOBODY at GMC Dealer can even understand what it is doing.  This is crazy.  We made these systems too complex and now we're paying the price.

      Did this ever get solved?   I'm chasing 2021 Yukon Denali electrical issues - vehicle will not enter sleep mode - we can disconnect and reconnect the battery and it will sleep - but that's likely because we powered down whatever module doesn't correctly sleep.  once we start/accessory the vehicle and turn off, it will stay at 11.5 amp draw with something keeping the SDGM alive - it appears to be activity on the X2 segment, specifically CAN FD Bus 5 - but we don't know which device and we think we've already isolated all of the devices on that segment - so what keeps the BCM and/or the SDGM alive is unknown.   I don't yet have a packet trace from CAN 5 (and since this Global B we might not get much info from it) - but the vehicle has been down for 8 weeks and previously GMC Dealer was unable to resolve "kills battery" issues with this particular vehicle - so I'm at a loss - it seems to be beyond local repair capabilities - and the number of "telematics keeps vehicle from sleeping" posts indicates this whole architecture has major issues - I hate to say it, but we might have to install a battery cutoff switch on the front grill - one of those red boat switches - to turn off the vehicle.;)  Any pointers appreciated;)  I just bought a CAN FD interface and I'm planning to try Savvycan and Peak Can SW to triage this further.
