Nice home Joeks. Canada looks a lot like the US.

Oh well, supposed to get warm again next week so this will melt easy - only a few inches. But still, it is April!!!

I was gonna make fun of the weather in your part of Canada but then I saw the size of your property which probably costs less than the shoebox I live in, so fair is fair.

Gorgeous btw.

Ha ha - fair is fair I guess, but right now I really hate the snow. It is nice in the summer for BBQ and for having a cigar on the back patio.

Yeah, Vancouver is crazy, but I've been noticing prices go crazy around here. And I'm not sure if it made it on the news in Vancouver, but house prices in Toronto jumped 33% since last year. I suspect at least a part of this is due to the foreign buyer tax in Vancouver.

It's a Nexus 5x, which, although part of Google's Nexus line, was made by LG. They've had a bunch of issues with some of the LG phones because over time as the processor heat cycles with use, the solder to the package breaks down.

All it really takes is one trace to separate, then the software just won't run. You get what's called a "boot loop", where the phone will endlessly restart itself trying to figure out what's wrong, but it's a hardware thing.

A lot of people have had it happen during this latest software update, because the processor is running at full steam installing it, and the stress of that heat plus the average age of the phone at this point pushes to its literal breaking point.

Mine wasn't during an update, just tried to open the group chat. Screen froze like it had a memory leak or something, which wouldn't have surprised me with that app, but then it restarted itself until the battery was dead.

Luckily I still have my old Moto X that I can activate and do something while I figure out what I'm going to do in the phone department.

Yeah, it's dumb. My old phone wouldn't activate for some reason either, so I'm just running on wifi and hangouts now.

What carrier? What are you thinking about a replacement?

I'm on Google Fi now. If they give me a refurbished 5x I'll stay, been happy with the phone and service. Don't care to spend what they're asking for the Pixel though.

If I'm SOL, I'm thinking I'd get a 64GB Moto G5 in the Amazon Prime flavor, but I'd have to shop around for a new carrier.

Sounds like all the bullshit headaches that BB had running Droid.

.I have an S6 Active now, want something different though.

iPhone since day one for me. From the original to the 7 now, without any issues.

Not really an Android problem though, it's a design/manufacturing problem.

I've always heard good things about the Samsung phones, I just prefer more barebones Android. And I'm cheap. Ha

iPhones are great for something that just works out of the box, but I don't like their consumer-unfriendly business practices.
