I heard that as well and almost posted it, but wasn't 100% sure.

S7's are fine, that's what I have. It's the Note 7 that was exploding. Samsung is remotely deactivating the ones that people haven't brought back.

I think there was ONE instance of a current iPhone catching fire...though it was left charging (non apple certified charger) in a car, under a pile of clothes, on a hot day.

Take that as you will...

2017 has got to be better than 2016. Cross your fingers. 2016 ended on a ****ty note IMHO. I'm hoping it's better for all of us.

This phone must have a great battery. I don't use a phone like most people do (all day long) but I have been playing around with it a good bit trying to learn how to use it and have made quite a few phone calls on it (several long ones).

I got it last Fri., charged it up, did all the above and it hasn't been turned off since I got it.

It still had 30% batt left this afternoon.

Which one did you get? I forget if you mentioned it or not.

Keeping the screen dim and a good cell signal does help the battery last longer. When it has to search for a signal, it can eat up the battery like crazy!

NICE!!!!
If there isn't a newer one out when it's time to trade up,....I'll get that one.
How do you like it Dennis? How's the camera on it? The camera on the S5 is pretty bad ***.

Its a Moto Z Play. I've had it on battery saver mode so the screen stays pretty dim and I've been at the house all week with it on wi-fi, only left the house a couple times all week.

But I was still kind of surprised after what other people say about theirs. The reviews I read did mention how great the battery life was on it. I think its a 3500mAh.

Best thing about the beans in it is that they give an extra blast of power to the already rancid chili farts. You can clear a room QUICK!!

Camera on it is great. Here is a pic I just took and uploaded to facebook to link here. It gets compressed to put there so the original is slightly better. No flash and (4) 40 watt led bulbs in the ceiling fan above me.

The more recent dog pics i've put up were also taken with it.

Decent specs on that phone. Unlocked version too, so you don't get all the carrier bloat on it.

I have always liked Moto phones since any of them i've had always had a better signal than any other. Not sure how they are since Lenovo took over.

That's a good battery size too. Mine is 3600 and you really don't see much bigger than that in a phone.

Chili without beans gets put on a hot dog.
