qwerty one looks good! but i would need to see what kind of specs are they going to put in it. I think these will be mid-tier phones. The priv is now $399 USD on newegg. so many decisions.

aukey and ankey are the same company, anything certified will be good.

I also try to buy cables that are longer too because the ones they come with are so damn short...

qwerty phone looks good but im not into qwerty phones at all. bought an s7edge to replace my z30 a month ago and while the hardware is very very good (except for having a physical button) and the camera is unreal, i really miss bb10, or even BB-android. android is so clunky and unproductive and heavy and it amazes me that after this long, half the things dont work properly, like notifications. i really hope BB gets their productivity suite rolling one day. or we see an all touch BB-android speced out like a current flag ship.

Are there any deals on the STV100-3?

I'm trying to get one so that I can use it in Asia as well as Canada. Everyone seems to have stv100-1 for sale on craigslist or online, and I'm not about to drop almost 1000 for a brand new one from Rogers.

the stv100-1 should be the international version. for $500 CAD, the deal above is a steal!

edit: my bad! the stv100-3 is indeed the version that supports more bands but does not have wireless charging

You gotta watch out for the AT&T version ones. You'll follow AT&T's update schedule, and when they do decide to release the update, you'll need an active AT&T sim, and be connected to their network to get the update, even if the phone is unlocked.

They will release the marshmellow auto loader for at&t when it's available.

I've had that with a pair of xiao mi pistons... its exactly what you described it to be and when I plug the headphones to another device, the headphones work exactly as it should. But I tested 4-5 other headphones and none of them exhibit that problem... so it may be partly the device? idk.

How old is the phone? Unless it's brand new, try this:

Take a paper clip, unfold it, and gently take out crap/lint from headphone jack. I had my phone for 6 months and I took out the equivalent of a thumbtack just in crap.

Same deal with USB port.

...Unless it's brand new; in which case it's probably a loose contact (hardware)

hahah what a coincidence...i'm using a pair of xiaomi pistons too!! and yes I think the headphones are partly the issue. Just tried another pair of headphones and it works fine.

Now the other headache...left side is wobbly when closed.

Loving the marshmallow update. Took away one annoying thing which was the switching apps to SD card. It automatically downloads the apps to my SD card if it's allowed.

This thread popping back up has got me thinking again.

I bought the Priv in December and loved it for the first few days but then found the lil quirks were bugging me. In particular, over-heating, not so impressive battery life and poor camera. I ended up selling it and buying a Note 5 and have been using it since then.

On paper however, the camera and the battery are supposed to be better on the Priv. What do you guys think, go back to the Priv? Anyone else swap between a Priv and Note 5?
