Nervous Guy Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I got the SE, too, because of the size. They call them one handed phones, and I like them way more than the bigger ones. Same..my daughter has a 6S Plus...that thing is as big as a paperback book! Not for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Same..my daughter has a 6S Plus...that thing is as big as a paperback book! Not for me... I didn't know how much I was going to hate the bigger sizes, and also almost got the Plus two years ago. So glad I didn't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mead107 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I love the big one. Does not fit in my hand very well. I can get enough grip with one hand but, it makes it easy to get the job done with two hands. I can hold it in one hand and work it with the other.

Sorry meade, you had to expect this... ;-) Mine is a Samsung Galaxy S6 Active. 6 months more and I've had it 2 years. I've been happy enough. Same... Mine bricked at same exact age. Do you let the battery get low? What are your charging habits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I didn't know how much I was going to hate the bigger sizes, and also almost got the Plus two years ago. So glad I didn't! I'm due for an upgrade right now. I currently have the 6, and I'm thinking about going with the 7 (not the 7 plus) because I don't want to carry an IPad in my pocket. Yeesh....

CowgirlsFan Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Sorry meade, you had to expect this... ;-) Same... Mine bricked at same exact age. Do you let the battery get low? What are your charging habits? I start the day at 100% As the day goes by I am online here on TBD, Facebook,Text messages, TextPlus,Yahoo and Gmail. By early evening it usually drops to 25% and I'll charge it back to 50%. At bedtime which is late because I'm such a night owl,its back down to 25% and I plug it back in the charger and go on to sleep. When I wake up it's back to 100% and the day begins again. Should I attend a sports event,I carry a portable charger to recharge after the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) i love my 6 year old android bionic and my OG unlimited data plan. i am grandfathered in with a free hotspot app and with the old contract i can hotspot unlimited data without throttle or cutoff. the new unlimited data is shut down at 10gig. the only thing is i don't get a discount on a phone - which is kind of funny because there are few if any discounts on phones. i am strongly considering the s8 but have been holding out to see what the s8 active and the note offer. i'll have to buy flat out price basically, verizon has made me a god. my hotspot is "FBI Van #9FG881" edit oh and i went on ebay last summer and bought the same exact phone i purchased for over $980 in sept 2011 for $44.50. it is my backup, which i recommend everyone has in order to not panic when your phone dies. go buy an older galaxy or iphone that works as a backup.

Is your backup being charged anything - or would you switch your plan only if your current phone dies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Is your backup being charged anything - or would you switch your plan only if your current phone dies? the backup isn't active. I use it as a tablet. No carrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4merper4mer Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 A word to the wise: If you have a pet hamster and are going to do an experiment to see if they will stay in gradually warming water like frogs, don't do it in the same pot where you're trying to fix your phone. I tried to secure the phone into the bag so its wouldn't leak. The best way to do this was to plug it in on a tight cord so there was no slack for the bag to move around. I thought I taped up the bag good too. But as the water started getting warm the tape came unglued and some water got in. I'm not sure what happened next exactly but Sammy got shot halfway across the room and his hair was standing on end. He was really pissed too, but then again he is always pissed.
