Nexus 5 died cause the fucking mobo connector came too loose. Soo now I flashed my evo 4g and have it limping along by today's standards.
Think I can score a working mobo? Maybe find a broke screen nexus 5 for about $50 or do I just need to bite the bullet and get a new phone?

I guess my nexus 5 is starting to get old, but it's still a pretty good phone so not really planning to upgrade until end of next year probably.

You know how much more effective a fingerprint scanner would be if those front facing cameras did some basic video analysis to make sure people were actually using their finger? Make the user show the finger to the camera to look for evidence of a fake fingerprint and then use that finger without going outside the camera field of vision. Probably too much hassle for the average iPhone user which is further proof that fingerprint scanners are more convenience than security. Tinfoilers know it's more surveillance than convenience.

moto g 2013 here too. if you're still reading these op, do you get the audio static from iems too? an audible hiss when audio playback stops but the sound drivers haven't stopped playing back empty audio yet. this phone is goat, but this is making me want to upgrade
>>
>>51292749
Not OP but own same model. No such problem here. Before lollipop update, the audio driver would crash and i had to restart the phone. Now sometimes when i use phone in the morning, keyboard doesnt open and i have to restart.
>>
>>51292804
hmm thanks, xt1032 just to be sure? I've flashed a few roms and don't really remember if I had this issue on kitkat (used lollipop stock for like a week). Guess I'll spend today flashing some random aosp fork roms to see if it helps. Or go back to kitkat if all else fails, or check with the stock rom

Anyway thanks

I managed to root mine and I'm the most tech illiterate person on /g/. I was even using a Mac and have no idea how to use the Terminal.It took me two days though.

I haven't done anything since rooting it though. I think rooting was just a waste of time.

S3 mini
Shit battery life
Ugly as sin
Doesnt cost me money if i dont upgrade
Yeah i'm keeping this
>>
>>51293095
If battery life is shit get a power bank.

Generic Chinese single cell power bank + your own 3400mah battery = $20 in aus.
With that, I can charge my nexus 5 something like 115-125%. S3 mini should be better since the battery is smaller.
>>
>>51293170
I checked some hueg batteries for S3 mini when my last battery got fucked and swollen
They dont really seem to exist in sizes that go with the default back plate

>>51293175
Nigga, don't waste money on a phone battery.
You can still use a power bank after you upgrade.

Having an old Android phone is really dangerous if you want security. Old Windows Phones are amazing in their own way- every single Lumia gets their software update at the same time no matter if you bought it from a carrier or not. Lumia 635 owner here. If I sported for the 1GB variant I'd be set, 512mb just isn't enough if you're switching apps often.
>>
>>51292884
yes, extensively, but only for my device iirc. xda fag thread told me higher ohm drivers fixed it. 16 vs 32 lessened it, but didn't fix. I'll try it, not sure why I didn't realise it myself kek

oh yeah, it was essential to get the unlocked version.

didn't like to be locked down to a carrier, already had that with another phone, and it's wasn't great.

No more than $90 USD, assuming it's in good condition with no scratches on the screen.

The one where security patches need to go through Google, then your manufacturer, then your carrier, before they finally land on your phone.

Yeah you can put CM on there (assuming it's supported and not a buggy mess) but then whoops there goes your warrantee.

Verizon really likes to prevent users from getting root. You're probably fucked.

One more suggestion - Adguard. It's a VPN that runs locally and doesn't need root. However, you are going to need to arr matie it if you want it to effect more than just http traffic.

Still have one of these as well, but I've only been able to keep it working so long because the USB port is on a replaceable cable and not soldered to the motherboard.
