Should be a touch option though. Not everyone wants to give commands to their phones in public.

There is as of iOS 11 according to my link above. You can set the R or L earbud to skip forward or backward with a double tap.

God damnit. I love this board but it makes me want and eventually buy tech stuff so much.

All good. I just wanted to clarify cause I thought the same thing until I read/watched that video. I may have to get a pair now. For 150$ that's a much better price point than most other truly Bluetooth headphones.

Holy shite I didn't even see this until now!

Left double tap now set to skip track and right double tap set to play/pause.

I've been contemplating the $180 jaybirds. May ask for them for Christmas.

Yeah the AirPods are pretty awesome.

Love how it pauses when you take one out and can skip and rewind tracks by tapping

How are the AirPods charged? The base charges them, but what charges the base?


Cord or wireless charging pad for the new ones at least.

You can’t plug the phone into the laptop?

Yep , just upload them in iTunes.

If you are on your WiFi network and have home sharing turned on. If your laptop is running iTunes, you should have access to them too.

I was trying to have it with cloud access so I'm not using up space on the phone. So I guess I have to have those songs locally then, right?

You can upload them to Google Play for free and have them available in the Goggle Play Misic app.

Thanks, was thinking this would be the fall back. I'm using a few Google things on my iPhone

Watched some 4k HDR video on YouTube last night and the Note 8 has a brighter picture. The iPhone next to it looked almost "dull" but then I thought which one was more realistic? I did notice one thing though, a section of the video had a moped in dirt and the dirt being kicked up was digitizing on the 8 and it played seamlessly on the X.

Still not sure which to keep...

Thanks

BTW, can't you swipe up a little and then to the right to get multi-tasking up pretty quickly or are you talking about something else?

You can but you have to hold your finger for a split second. It’s not really much faster.

FYI for anyone activating their phone with a new SIM card through att, you’ll have to get a hold of them to be able to setup your voicemail. I was able to do it through chat on att site.

So I just picked up my wife’s 8+ which was mine until last Friday and immediately went to swipe up to open.

That’s amazing how 10 years of habit went out the window in one week.

I’m a no case guy. Also an idiot and just dropped my phone down a concrete flight of stairs. Bounced probably 4-5 times and slid on the ground once it got to the bottom of the stairs. Not scratch on it. Love this new Jesus phone.

I’m reading there is a problem with the X in cold weather with responsiveness . It better be fixed when mine arrives December 1!
