A last gen phone that has half the on-board memory capacity of the OPO? Gee... where do I sign up?

 

[Fire&Blood]

This phone is an exceptional beast.

That is all, I have to go back to it.

 

[sze5003]

Mine is sitting in the box. Every time I go back to it to see if the band of yellow has gone away and nope still there. Asked 3 friends today to check it out since they were freaked out they never saw this phone before and they all asked me why the bottom half of the screen looks like an old page in a book.

He might have the 64GB model

Is there an app that can stop charging the battery at say, 85%? I think my N4
spent too much time at ~5% and 100% levels of charges and accelerated it's degradation, 20 months in and it barely makes it through the day with frugal use, it was still good about 5 months ago.

What case is everyone using? I usually go naked with phones, but this one is going to see some heavy duty in a few weeks.

Lithium ion batteries already do this. At 100% they stop charging and your phone does not take any more juice once this is reached. It trickle charges but the display reads 100%. Try using tasker to see if it does anything.

Just did that. Thanks!

New OTA releasing today and throughout this week. Says they updated to 4.4.4 and added a colder screen calibration. I will see if this helps my phone.

My OPO is out for delivery today. Shipped on August 8th.

Yeah, they prevent overcharging but having the battery at or near 100% isn't a good thing. Lithium based batteries punish you over time for going below 10% but ideally, a battery shouldn't sit near 100% either, ideal longevity is achieved keeping it in 30%-80% range.

Thanks, I'll look into tasker,

I remember seeing this about depth of discharge and it seemed like it was prudent to avoid regular recharges from very low battery levels. I try to let mine go no lower than 25% anymore.

Diztronic TPU Case is beautiful!

 

[Megatomic]

So far I've liked the looks of the Diztronic case that DLeRium mentioned the best, but I ordered the Orzly case when I ordered the Orzly screen protector. I hope they come in before I damage my phone.

I have a tiny ding on the back bottom corner of my phone - I have no idea where it came from. It's almost like a tiny bit of the finish came off.

I also have a tiny amount of yellow banding on the bottom of the phone - not enough at all to even notice 95% of the time. I left mine outdoors in the sun on my deck all day yesterday, it actually made it even less noticeable.

I don't know how people say they have yellow banding and don't notice it. I guess mine must be pretty bad because it makes my screen look like a wet page out of an old book. My screen is not uniform white at all.

Did you try any of the "fixes" that people are saying work yet?

I have done the sun, the uv lighting, Sun some more couple times.

 

[Fire&Blood]

Buddy's iphone took about 10 hours in the sun to get rid of yellowing, he did at least an hour a day. I hope it fixes the issue for everyone, RMA is always a PITA.

Sorry man, that does suck especially if you are very sensitive to the issue.

They won't RMA for this. It's as designed they say. Especially a PITA from this company. Hoping the OTA helps out or else I already have a support ticket that has been open 3 days asking for a refund.
