I wish I could trade in a S6 for a G4. This shit is hell to rice.
G4 or 5X?
>>53935505
Okay, the sales manager just offered me an iPhone 6s+ (128gb) with a free apple watch of my choice or a giftcard. Is the apple watch any good?
>>53935598
5X if you don't mind the smaller screen with fuckhuge bezels and worse-ish(?) battery compared to the G4. With these downsides however, you get the added benefit of guaranteed fast updates for the next two years.
G4 is alright if you don't care about software updates. Just be wary about the boot loop problem.

I tried to explain him about the chipgate fiasco and he told me that I can test the phone before buying it until I get the one I want.
What colour should I get? I will probably get a Galaxy S7 with the rest of the money, so I was thinking about golden.
Is buying a phone off of eBay a dumb idea?
>>53935823
Yes. What's your budget?

What does /g/ think about the zte warp elite? I currently have a shitty moto e and am looking for something good to upgrade to for around $100.
Testing with antutu, I get random numbers with every test.
1. 63k
2. 51k
3. Currently running
My phone isn't thermal throttling. And I'm not running anything on background. Should I be worried?
>>53938493
And 50k.
Yes, I'm mad. Even with all the antutu memes I don't see a reason to drop 13k at random.
is 60€ for a 1st gen Moto G in near-perfect condition a fair price?
I'm worried the Note 6 won't release in my country, which would suck.
Is there any significant difference between the Note 4 and Note Edge? Those might be my backups.

REPOSTAN FROM DEAD THREAD
So I'm finally upgrading from my iPhone 3. What compelled me was the Uber webapp not working when I needed it to.
I don't really play games or fuck with social media (though it might be helpful when I need to manage my company's presence). I'll probably get the Slack and Trello apps and use the browser some more otherwise I'm not sure how else I can leverage the increase in mobile computer power to actually literally improve my quality of life (any suggestions?).
That said, I was thinking of the SE for the form factor. What do other phones do better that I should seriously consider? The Xperias aren't stocked near me and I saw some posts on /g/ before lamenting build quality issues. Can anyone verify?
>>53941154
Just get an android phone like I did. I used to have an iPhone 4 and upgraded to a Sony Z3 + 128GB microsd.
We're wasting our hard earned money by getting iPhones, I hope you will realize this someday.

what's the smartphone for someone who kind of hates smartphones
i'm using a Moto G currently. literally the only apps i use are Whatsapp, chrome and some mp3 player
the camera is really awful on this one so i want to get a new one. also the battery life is SHIT (although maybe this is just the norm now, i wouldn't know).

>>53949058
I get it but it looks like you were on 50 % after 10 hours.
I'm looking for a phone that can make at least 2 days in a row without charging.
>>53949115
How long will you be using it per day?
>>53949188
I don't play games but I'm browsing web a lot.
Also social media, texts, calls, skype, gps.
I also take a lot of pics so I'd love to have a phone with good camera.
Overall I need a traveling companion.
Thus the gps, camera and battery life
I can't really tell how long I'll be using it per day.
>>53949212
Honestly, might as well find a phone with a larger battery. Though a Mate 2 w/ CM11 + greenify would probably be able to make it last 2 days using that, it's a bit slow to even be usable in web browsing and GPS. I'd recommend going to >>>/g/CSG and asking them for a phone with a 7Ah+ battery. 4.1~ Ah just doesn't seem like enough for 2 days of the tasks you mentioned.

Are there any smartphones with a physical keyboard besides the blackberry priv?

Why would you want an inferior technology? I changed by a bar phone with a physical keyboard to a touchscreen android phone like 2 years ago (note 2 now) and I can now type up to 40wpm and get less thumb strain even while writing paragraphs of text.
>>53946732
is your cracked phone old yet?
repairing it might be a better option economically unless you itch for a new phone, but in any case it could give you time to save up for a better one.
>>53949684
when its time to upgrade you might as well do that and enjoy the phone for what it was meant to be used as.

any LG G3 users here?
need to buy a new phone and for the 260€ the G3 currently sits at here I think its a quite good deal specs wise, but I do wonder how the phone holds up in the long run since I expect to be using it for a long time?
>>53950535
I just really fucking hate touchscreen keyboards. They take up a ton of screen space and you can't touch type if you can't feel the buttons.
>>53950927
>I just really fucking hate touchscreen keyboards. They take up a ton of screen space and you can't touch type if you can't feel the buttons.
I can literally touch type on mine (thus why I can go up to 40wpm). You just have to practice.
>>53950845
also, the standard LG G4 sits at around 360€. I can afford it but I should be restrictive with my money atm.
main reason for replacing my old phone is that it is not stable, sometimes the network drops and can only be fixed by restarting the whole phone, the speakers are broken and I cant hear shit so I have to use a headset every time I get a call and the camera doesn't work at all in mild to low light environments. All those features are quite important for me since I work as a consultant and run a hand crafting business on the side (good camera performance is important for communication with customers etc).

Somehow, I'm glad it broke. Fixing it would be half it's price anyway, cost me like $90.
Considering pic related, idk much about phones in general but it's a rugged and I'd use it for general use (apps mentioned above, during running, youtube, etc..) and possibly hiking. Costs about $220 here, worth?

I've had one of these for about a week and it's been great. Antutu isn't high (35,000) but for a phone this cheap the rest of it serves me really well. Using miui for the first time was kind of exciting but there's some tricks to finding things in menus, it's kind of too simple in some aspects if you're used to aosp life. Updates have been constant though and I suspect the global rom will come out sometime after the Redmi 3 Pro is fully delivered (it's $170 right now on most sites)

So how much better is the new hardware generation? It's getting about time to replace my Gnex, so I was thinking about picking up a 5X. Only some part of my head is nagging at me that, if the next generation makes for a huger leap in performance than it normally does, maybe waiting for it is the better call.
Never thought I'd be the one to consider waiting half a year, but the sweet nothings whispered into my ears is making me weak.

I can't even get passed Unlocking my Bootloader.
">Check your fastboot connection by issuing this command:

And nothing else below it
>>53957463
if you just installed adb you need to reboot.
then enter usb debug, connect adb, use adb devices, you should get something like "enable the key" on your phone's screen, hit accept and you are good to go

I got the version number.

>>53960565
Not bad for what it is, but overpriced by about $50 if you're an international customer. If you're in the US it's perfectly fine for casual phone use of browsing and playing some non-intensive games, if you want to spend that much for it. Unlocked phones available in the US are a shitty selection, I wish more Chinese companies would just sell B versions of their phones for US band frequencies (all modern Snapdragon processors offer the bands for LTE already).
Good: 5.5" 1080p, 3000mah battery, fingerprint sensor, really nicely designed aluminum body, dual sim with dedicated sd card slot with 128gb exfat capacity
Bad: trid and true 13MP Sony IMX214 sensor that fits midrange phones well but for $200 there's better options that Huawei chose to overlook, only 2GB ram / 16GB rom

I recently got an S7, noticed that the left capacitive button is used for opening recent apps, as opposed to opening settings like my old S3.
Opening recent apps with one press is very nice and convenient, but I need the old option back for opening the settings/preferences of a certain app which won't display the option for opening settings on its own.
I don't want to lose the recent apps functionality of the left button, so is there some app to change the function of the hardware buttons? If possible I'd like to access settings of an app by longpressing the home button or the back button.
>>53963937
yeah the 250 fucking dollars price wasn't enough?
>>53964280
Isn't there a way to set a function for long press and taps? There should be since that phone is quite expensive.
>>53964280
long-pressing of recents button works as menu button on my phone. maybe it's the same for s7
>>53964544
I found a very neat 3rd party app called "All in one Gestures". It can assign many different functions to the hard keys, but the option for opening an app's settings is absent.
It's infuriating, either the whole world forgot that function existed or Google must have removed it entirely with their newer versions of Android. To think it would be fine if the app I'm using was updated to display the options within the app.
>>53964545
On Galaxy S7, long-pressing the recent button brings you to split-screen options.

Can get one for $250 here, yay or nay?
>>53954619
How's the gaming performance? Can you play some 3d games without much lag? (Not talking about graphically intensive games)
>>53938649
You don't want that phone...
>>53964637
Holding the back button just exited the app.
I finally got the app menu to come up by installing a root gesture app called GMD Gesture Control and setting a touch gesture for it. Everything's good now.
What are the alternatives to the S7 Edge? I wanna get a phone around that level, I just kinda wanna know my options, and if there's anything better than that out right now.
Phone with the best camera right now? Bonus points if it also has a good screen and speakers.
>>53965532
S7/E.
>>53965424
The other flagships.. G5, Mi5, HTC10 etc.
>>53965697
What's the general opinion on the G5 so far? I'm kinda iffy on the whole modules stuff
Am I dumb for wanting to buy one of the used phones through Amazon? 229 good condition vs 289 new.
>>53965868
Kinda meh from what Iv'e read.
VLC or MX Player? I siding with VLC because it's open source..
How is the S7E's audio with quality headphones?
>>53963937
That webpage only comes up if you go to https://www.freetel-japan.com/ and switch to USA, though, so presumably it'll support all amerifat bands.
>>53965868
Shitty build quality and polish, but if you can live with it, the rest it top tier.
Need a low/mid tier waterproof phone. Is Moto G3 my only option?
>>53967129
"Polish"?
Shitty build quality sounds bad though. It's a shame, I was considering it due to the hifi module. How's the camera?

Should I buy a Lumia 930 for 160 euros?
5X, 6P, or G4?
My G2 and G3 both started bootlooping for no reason so I'm wary of LG phones. My dad has let me use his iPhone 6+ for the last week while I decide on a new phone. I hate the size of this thing, and the 6P is the same size so I don't know about getting it.
Is there some better, fourth option?
>>53967341
6P all the way.
>>53967341
5X. the 6P is too big and bulky. you won't get used it.
>>53967341
>5X, 6P, or G4
>I don't trust LG
>I hate 5.5" phones
Gee I wonder what that leaves
>>53967407
>5.5"
6p is 5.7 and has fuckhuge bezels
>>53967388
I don't think I can live with such a large phone. I've been leaving the 6+ in the car when I go places because it's too big to fit in any of my pockets
>>53967400
Any reason you pick the 5X over the G4? Is one more reliable than the other?
pros and cons of S7 (Edge) vs G5?
yurop so it'd be the exynos S7
>>53967441
Lighter, cheaper, faster updates. same SoC.
G4=Bootloop imminent.
http://www.androidauthority.com/lg-admits-g4-bootloop-problem-hardware-fault-669603/
How likely is G5 to get CyanogenMod?
I'm lost between G4 (outdated, shit CPU, bootloops), V10 (outdated, shit CPU, no CM), G5 (expensive, no CM) and other pones (non-removable battery).
>>53967441
I wear fairly skinny pants and have no problem fitting the 6P in my pockets.
It's not that big, and it feels light. Very easy to maneuver with one hand unless your hands are just unreasonably tiny.
Any good phones for 300-350 EUR, looking for something with a big nice screen, nearly bloat-free and maybe a good camera? Can be chinkphone as long as bloat is kept down to a minimum.

wanted to buy a g4 but I'm scared with the bootloop stuff
is the g3 any good? waiting for the 2016 nexus phones because I don't want to choose between 2gb ram/lagshit and a tablet phone

z5c.

I'm looking in to the Nexus 5X and the G3/G4 myself.
Is the 5X really that laggy or did I miss something?
>>53969145
5X does stutter from time to time but its generally snappy.
Just bought a Nexus 6p. Breddy gud desu
Should I get a galaxy s6 and just put cyanogenmod on it?
give me a good file manager and text editor for android
Xperia Z2 for sale near me brand new for £130 ~ $180. I currently have Galaxy S4 Rooted ect. Should I buy?

How laggy is the S7?

What phone with sd slots has the best camera at this time?
>>53936125
there is none if you want a smaller phone with flagship speccs. Except for the sony xperia z5 compact maybe.

which is a better sprint phone: galaxy s5 or lg g3? cost difference is like $20 (freedompop offering them). I'm not worried about their stock roms, so just curious what you guys think about them
>>53970809
Root toolkits are for newbs.
Just flash a custom recovery and then install the SuperSU zip from recovery.
>>53968971
Depending on the model, you might not be able to replace touchjizz.
If you can, CM is a good bet.
>>53968977
Why would anyone even mention this overpriced, faulty and overheating piece of garbage?
Z3 and Z3c were the only good Sony phones, everything else is just shit.
Is the Moto E worth it? A friend of mine is replacing the screen on my G4, but i have the sim card. He'll be out of town for the next few days, so i need something i can use until then/use as a back up later.
>>53971946
it's whatever
I used the first gen for about two weeks while waiting for my new phone to ship
it's laggy as hell and shit but it works
>>53971946
It's the best you can get for its price. But buy only 2015 LTE variant, as it packs SD 410 instead of shitty SD 200.
>>53971801
>Depending on the model, you might not be able to replace touchjizz.
it's an exynos s7 edge
>>53971801
>>53970809
Is there a good guide for custom recov?
>>53972042
>exynos s7 edge
You might get root since the European version is less locked down than the North America/China Snapdragon, but you won't see any AOSP custom ROMs because of the exynos chipset. So no CM... you are probably stuck with touchwiz.
YOU COULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS
>>53972069
I learned a lot just from viewing topics on the XDA forums for my device. There's step by step tutorials for unlocking the bootloader (will wipe the device when you unlock it), flashing a custom recovery, and flashing updates (which you have to do with a custom recovery, since OTA updates require stock recovery)
>>53972141
Not him, but if the S7/S7E is shit for this reason, what would be some alternatives worth considering?
>>53971946
The 2015 version is actually a pretty decent device. Performance is largely smooth, but obviously being a low-end device it isn't perfect.
>>53972180

My problem with unlocking bootloader is that 'fastboot devices' doesn't fucking work. And i've browsed threads about this problem for the whole day yesterday. Im prob gonna resort to using a toolkit.
>>53972180
Well the best devices for unlocking, rooting, etc are the Nexus devices. You can even get them replaced under warranty for hardware defects after rooting and unlocking the bootloader.
Other phones are kind of hit and miss, they usually come with the caveat that your warranty is void if you root and/or unlock the bootloader.
HTC is fairly good with allowing unlocking of the bootloader (although I hear they do some weird stuff with something called S-OFF), I think the M8 and M9 have fairly good developer support so the 10 will probably have it too.
LG has some models that are unlockable and have official CM, but for the G4 it is only one of the many model numbers that have official bootloader unlock (and not the ones you get from carriers) and you also have to worry about the bootloop issue even if you don't modify the software. The V10 has essentially no developer support due to the meme secondary screen, and the G5 has all sorts of weird modules so it might not ever be supported.
Motorola is fairly good and even the stock software is pretty close to vanilla Android, but they were purchased by Lenovo so they might start to become shitty.
>>53972343
You have to allow "OEM unlocking" in the developer section in settings (tap build 7 times to unlock this section).
>>53972343
>>53972369
oops I meant "USB debugging", since OEM unlocking is only for unlocking the bootloader
You also have to install the proper drivers.
>>53972398
Done and Done.
I followed the Heisenberg tut and I haven't skipped a single step. All 4 "recommended" drivers including Google USB Driver all completed.
>>53972141
How big a deal is this actually?
