Finally Switching To An Android S7 Edge From An iPhone

With you spending so much time in the office and not using the phone that much and July being such a weak month in revenue, I wonder why you didn't go for a less flashy phone like a Moto G or X. An unlocked Moto G is like $200 and comes with dual-sim option (nice when travelling).

Micheal, have you had a look at getting PTS running on Android devices? I'm not sure if it can be done without rooting the device?

At least I can go to the dodgy spaza shop and get replacement batteries for it easily.

Oh no, I'm tired of this iOS vs Android wars, this was the last place I would imagine that they would occur.
Every mobile OS has their weakness and strengths. Even Windows 10 Mobile - that I used during 16 months - have great things that could succeed if MS didn't arrived so late. I eventually switched to Android (Moto G4, almost pure Android experience) because of the lack of apps. Now I do like Android, but I still think that W10M have potential.
Yes, you are seeing a post of a person that have Linux on his PCs and at the same time had Windows on his cellphone. Probably the only one in the world

Hello,
Are anyone of you using one of those Android Blackberry devices? Priv in particular, since the DTEK50 is on pre-order yet.
The only opinions I found was from Blackberry enthusiasts whom only BBOS is right.
Thanks!

Could probably fix the LCD screen on the iPhone for $20. Also Android has been viable since the HTC Dream phone. But since you have a Android phone, maybe it's time to upgrade it's distro to CyanogenMod 13.
You know you want to remove CarrierIQ.

Never mind, that mod isn't stable. This one is.

OK, Michael, the next step is to install a terminal emulator, and busybox.
For ssh, I like JuiceSSH, but irssi connectbot is pretty good too.
For maximum geek points, you need to root your phone, without tripping the Samsung Knox indicators, or getting the warning triangle on boot. When rooted, you can then chroot into a proper linux environment. It's pretty cool to have sshd running on your phone and rsync files on and off it.
Put in a memory card which has been partitioned to set aside 3 or 4 GB, and you can install debian into that - using your regular linux desktop and debootstrap.
