Just installed the 6.0 release for my T-Mo G3 and the phone charges slow as shit. Slower than normal charging on 5.1, let alone Fast Charge.
What gives?

Smartphones are not popular kind of technology (compared to Virtual Reality, PC hardware, coding, various OS etc.) on /g/, so it's useful to put that small circle of interest under one thread. Would you like to see out of 100 threads seeing 30 of them related to:
>NEED NEW PHONE PLS HALP
>MY PHONE WONT LOAD PORN
>TABLET SCREEN REKT WAT DO
or just one thread that you can easily hide if you're not taking part in it? Also, me (or someone else) creating /spg/ makes it easier for other people to ask fast and important questions while not wasting time creating new thread and/or waiting till someone notices his single thread on last page.

Maybe new release of 6.0 isn't "optimized" enough and therefore struggles with the older hardware? Search up on Google - maybe someone has similar issues, or maybe it's just you alone?
>>54359754
Literally said Cyanogenmod...
I have Note 3 with CM 12.1, works excellent
I'm selling my Nexus 5x and getting some extra cash and buying a Moto X Play off a guy.
Is there any safe way to tell if the phone's battery / software is good when I meet in person? Software wise I can easily put in my sim and browse for a min but what about battery life?
Isnt buying used so fucking risky?
surprisingly, the swift gets much less negative reviews. They're pretty much all 5 star reviews. Haven't seen any complaint about battery either. Maybe they're not as critical since it's cheaper?
>>54359774
>Maybe new release of 6.0 isn't "optimized" enough and therefore struggles with the older hardware?
Only been a few days since it has been released. No one has said anything about battery charging slowly.
Then again, it may just be my phone because it hasn't used fast charge since I moved off of 4.4.4 stock when I got it. Maybe the battery is fucked and I need a new one.
I don't know how MM needs optimization to enable charging. Sounds like a crock of shit to me.

You can check in battery in settings and see how long he used the phone and compare to screen on time.
Even if it sucks, buying a new battery is still pretty cheap investment compared to buying a new phone.

>Isnt buying used so fucking risky?
It always is. Don't forget to verify that IMEI/SN of a phone, though I don't know if it would be any kind of useful info. Check the last period of time battery usage - if the graph in Settings shows quite drastic drop-down then maybe it's a sign to pass? I'm not sure though.
>>54359809
Does your power adapter even supports Quick Charging?
>>54359857
It came with the phone so yeah. Using my GF's S6 charger now and it doesn't work either.
I'm looking to get project fi, and will probably get the Nexus 5x. My question is I've heard that Google is releasing a new phone quite soon (in the next 4-5 months), so does it make sense to wait for these new phones, or is the 5x good enough?
>>54359869
Well, it ain't gonna be another Nexus for sure, because HTC is making one right now.
>>54359869
I thought about the same thing but think about it this way:
If you need the phone, nexus 5x will always be at a decent price. Next phone made by HTC or whoever will definitely be an upgrade but don't expect it to be at the price of a 5x. 5x guarantees 2-3 years of support and it's specs aren't their worst out there so don't expect to be hanging when other updates roll out.

help me decide on a budget smartphone /spg/, please. Right now it's between the redmi 3 pro (+-160 euro) or the wileyfox swift (140 euro). All I want it for is to read some weeb comics, watch videos and maybe play some puzzle games or nes emulators. Might get a cheap cardboard vr, but that's not really important.
I could bump up my budget some more to 200-250 euro, but that's kinda pushing it and I don't really know what options are good at that price range.
>>54360053
Samsung is not shit, but Touchwizz is, says /g/. I heared that they improved stability of Touchwizz in the latest 6.0 Android, but, since I haven't owned a single Samsung device - can't say for a fact.

You may be right. With Sprint I was using 500MB/month. That was mostly because I get no signal at my workplace and thus no data. When I do get any signal it's briefly before I connect to a new wifi at my next destination.

>>54365029
And what do you do when you use your phone lying down little Jimmy? You hold it! So since we already established that you can hold a phone bigger than anon's 3 inch cock standing up, then we can also assert we can hold the exact same phone, with they exact same hands while our bodies are horizontal! Only a regard wouldn't be able to figure that out.
I'm thinking about getting a sony z5 compact. is there any other difference between the us and eu version besides the fingerprint scanner? I've never got a international version of a phone before but I want that scanner.
>>54365108
>And what do you do when you use your phone lying down little Jimmy?
Nothing that you're capable of doing, retard.
>You hold it!
More precisely, you hold it, _overhand_ as opposed to when upright your grip is under or underhand of the phone. Your inability to grasp a basic technical difference demonstrates your extreme case of severe mental retardation, little retard.
>bigger than anon's 3 inch cock standing up
Say that to my face and not online and see what happens, midget dick.
>>54365152
Lmao you really are an autistic fuck. And I type that as I am lying down on my bed right now with my 5.5 inch phone right above my head. The grip is the same, just the force needed to keep it in place is different. But I can't really expect an autist like you to understand.

That's the whole point you fucking retard. You can hold a smaller phone with one hand under all circumstances, with no additional force needed.
>But I can't really expect an autist like you to understand.
It's quite easy to understand that your you're so autistic that your life revolves around perpetuation conversations with anonymous strangers by intentionally misunderstanding the post being quoted to prolong the discussion, because your psychological profile is that of a basement dweller, hence the dire need to keep this autistic conversation going by misrepresenting the other party, for as long as humanly possible, lest you have to go back to your pathetic miserable existence of nobody and nothing.
>>54365282
God you really are autistic. How mad do you have to be to type all that out? Here, I'll keep it simple for you. If you can hold a phone normally standing up, you can hold the same phone normally lying down. It's really not rocket science retard. And maybe try going outside with that phone of yours, might do you some good.

don't buy it. personally thought it would be a good budget replacement to my iPhone 5S, the interface is laggy as shit especially when it's switching radios (losing wifi connection and switching to LTE). I ended up selling the M8 I had just bought and got myself a Nexus 5X, which is so much better than the M8.
>>54365894
It's good, I have Marshmellow working on it fine.
Feels a bit smaller and thinner than I thought. I think now I prefer bigger and thicker phones, but I'm not in synch with the trends.
I never had the problems with the wifi this guy (>>54365996) describes. Could be he bought a used one or something. It's a bit late to get a M8 anyway. Only get it if it's supercheap and new, unsold stock with at least 1 year warranty.

Official news about Note 6 where?
I have a note 4. Best phone I ever had. Waiting till note 6 is released to upgrade because my 4 is slowing down now
About to sell my iPhone 6 and go for a S7.
I remember not hating touchwiz all that much even back when I had the S4, when I had a Note 3 it didn't bother me at all.
One thing i'll miss is the IR blaster, I had so much fun with the thing, and it let me control pretty much every IR appliance from the house.
>>54366123
Well the other guy sold it for a reason..
I bought mine new, unsold from a German ebay store. Big stores always have some unsold stock. Came with a 2 year warranty too, because I'm in the EU. Phone's pretty cool, no issue with it, except, of course, the camera is not much to talk about. But I got it for a few hundred bucks, it's premium flaship build, still looks great in 2016, it's a classic phone. I'm not sorry for getting it.

>>54366727
Not much, just no sources for custom development and almost no updates for cheap chink phones using those sockets. Besides that great Sockets for the money
>>54366712
I know right? Maybe the setup process isn't as straight forward as it'd need to be for it to become more mainstream.
>>54366772
Yea you're probably right. I personally thought it was a design issue (for the s6/s7 specifically) and maybe they felt it wasn't a popular enough feature to compromise their design direction.
>>54366763
>no updates
Not an issue, my Nexus 5 is still on Android 5.1 because 6 ran like shit, never was a big fan of updates.
>no sources for custom development
Might be an issue but it's not really necessary if the device gives good enough battery life and performance.
If those aren't issues for me, then I have nothing else to he worried about with that particular SoC?
Also will it be a sidegrade or a downgrade from my SD800?

My phone was slow charging for the first few days after the update. But now it charges just fine.. Maybe the battery has to be calibrated?
Note 4 (running a CM13 rom)
>>54366908
It really does though.
Find me another phone that'll give you more than a full day with the screen on.

you're not going backpacking through the alps or on a safari in africa. if you are, bring a credit card sized powerbank instead of convincing yourself that Cuckitel was a good idea.

lel does it run on a wireless gamepad battery

I'm a heavy user, I average 6-7 hours SoT a day.
Would be neat not having to recharge twice a day.
So has anyone used one?

This. This so much. With a built-in battery that size, you're going to be sacrificing usability and/or function SOMEWHERE. While I do agree modern high-end phones can use a battery bump, it should not be at the expense of high end specs. Even then, battery can be easily remedied with a big battery pack.
>>54367083
>Big battery pack
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE CARRYING ONE OF THOSE EVERYWHERE BECAUSE FUCK YOU LG
>>54367116
You're carrying that much battery either way if you need that many hours of electricity without ever being near home/office/car for a convenient charge.
I'm glad LG doesn't focus their design for homeless hobos.
Bought the nexus 5x recently. okay phone, paid $350. it gives a warning message at boot if you use a non-default rom which i find really obtrusive, but otherwise it generally performs well, with some lag at times. I thought about the 6p or the lg v10 which both have more features i like but i wanted something more modestly sized.
I'm ok with phones having reasonable batteries and having a battery pack that carries a charge or two in my bag or car.
That way my pocket doesn't look like it has a brick in it, yet I can manage 2 days out or more without my phone dying on me.
>>54367219
I'd rather a bigger battery in the phone than a 1440p screen. Fucking bullshit.
Wish I fell for the chinkfone meme before buying this piece of shit. Redmi 3 looks good. Or k10000 just for that battery life. If you can't hold a 200g brick then you're a fucking pussy who would have trouble with any basic tasks.

>>54367294
You got the G5? LG really is never going to learn, Motorola is surpassing them in functionality it seems.
>>54360267
What size do you want? Does the Redmi 3 supports the bands you need?
The Swift might get better support by the community, otherwise the Redmi 3 Pro is somewhat better
>>54367456
wtf are you considering a cheap chinkphone then? get a pc? you're doing everything wrong, your business can't be mobile OS dependant.
>>54366828
From SD800 yes, still is a great SoC
>>54367478
G3 actually.
I've been a fan of lg phones but they really dropped the ball on this one.
Won't be buying an lg for a while.
>>54367509
It's not, I have a pc, but a phone is more convenient when I'm out and about.
>>54367509
Also considering it because it's cheap and offers amazing battery life. Specs are also adequate for my uses too
>mini review
Moto E 2
Its said to be a step down from the Moto G, and the specs show it, however, the only thing that this phone cant do well that I'd like it to do is PSP emulation.
Battery is great, easily lasts all day with heavy usage from music, games and video. The thing rarely stutters, or lags, or crashes, and whenever it does its usually because I'm texting, listening to music, playing a game and checking gmaps at the same time.
For $50-150 less than a Moto G 2, this thing is a great budget phone. Supports micro SD, USB-C, and has two cameras. Only thing against it is no removable battery and only 8GB of internal storage.
7.5/10 would rec
>>54366247
I'm in the same boat as you but with Cm13 running. It flies in day to day tasks.
>>54360286
Nah, samsung's software is glitchy as fuck. I experience more force closes in a week than with cm in months.
About to pull the trigger on HTC 10.
It will be on AT&T, only worry is I am fucking myself with a pricey contract when Fi might be economical since I don't use very much data.
When will the us Xperia Z5 get cheaper than $400??? It's been 3 fucking months. щ(ಥДಥщ)
Who hyped for the k6000 premium?
HelioX20, 6GB ram, and a 6000mAh battery.

Redmi 3 pro now 206 aud. Will it drop below 200 or should I just order?
>>54368369
it will drop for sure as the demand will go lower
>>54368369
why not one plus one x instead?
amoled screen
better cpu
better everything else and just $50 more
>>54368426

That's why.
If I wasn't an unemployed poorfag uni dropout I'd actually get something better. I already feel like its more than I deserve

All in all I'm very happy with it but there are a few things from Android I miss.
Any Canadians?
What's the better option?

After being 5x for so many months, how can you beat snappy Google Apps?
Jealous of preferred app supports for Apple over Android though (ie snap)

>After being 5x for so many months
Don't know what you mean sorry.
>Jealous of preferred app supports for Apple over Android
Yeah their apps are always upto date and well optimised.
Cracked the tempered glass protector on my Redmi Note 3 Pro.
Looked on aliexpress found http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Xiaomi-redmi-note-2-Screen-Protector-Tempered-glass-Film-9H-2-5D-Explosion-Proof-Toughened-Glass/32443672466.html?spm=2114.01010208.3.2.h1N7wa&ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_7,searchweb201602_4_10017_10034_10021_507_10022_10032_10020_10009_10008_10018_10019,searchweb201603_6&btsid=6d9c57a3-d4fd-4f15-8ad1-bcf0f906d2e6
That a good one to get? They have both matte and clear options for the glass, assuming I should go matte?
>>54368672
Also I've got the gel cover on the back, should I get a wallet style protector for it?
>>54368514

Feels pretty nice but I can respect your opinion.

yeah well fuck you all, just ordered that along with a can of caffiene pills cause fuck you fuckers you fucking fucks
Unfortunate UK bro here
S6 is cheaper here than 6P. S7 is out of price range.
What do? Being UK is suffering
>>54367264
Same.
>>54368850
What's the price difference between the s6 and s7?
>>54368672
You get clear

Cuckitel is not the phone you want to get, and if you do pay money for one it will be entirely your fault.

is it a bad idea to get 1440p? I was thinking it would be nice for high resolution images but not sure if everything will look small as fuck.
>>54369867
it will drain your battery asap
>>54369935
I dont really care to be honest.
>>54368514
> shit stock keyboard, swiftkey isn't much better
Try WordFlow. I started using it a week ago and I'm enjoying it a lot.
>>54369867
1440p or "quad hd" is a meme that nobody ever needed, but was forced and retards embrace as the new standard for their 5" phones
>>54369867
It drains battery, but it ain't a meme. If you pair it with a good camera(ex:G4), you get some pretty damn amazing pics. Also If you find quadHD content it looks amazing.
>>54370138
Pics will only look as good as the camera sensor and lens can produce. I see people posting iphone pics on social networks but then they look worse on large displays.
what is the top meme phone of 2016 so far

Back-Home-Recent navbar buttons? Is this true?
>>54370633
Yes. It's an official image
>>54370644
Do they still lie about their cameras?
>>54370666
It's using an imx258, I'm more curious about battery life though, since the heliox20 is looking to be the next SD810.

They only upscale the images for their cheaper devices it seems. This doesn't look like it'll be a cheap device
>>54370732

>>54370732
Well how bout that, they finally sacked up and paid for good components. Or they're getting a deal on a batch of defects/castaways from another phonemaker. Either way this looks to be their golden goose if they can rape your wallet enough.
Are there any screen protectors that make hand sweat build up less annoying? The cheap plastic ones make it _worse_, and I'd assume glass ones are just the same as the phone screen.
Also, my father cracked his phone screen. Will a glass screen protector make it feel normal again until he gets it fixed?
>>54370592
The Google Play services.
App updates, app downloads, location tracking, advertisements, everything you'd think of that's related to app downloads and etc
Was just getting around to rooting my Note 5, but found out Verizon has a prevention on this
Thanks knox
Is wireless charging adapter worth the money and time??
Wanna get it for my Moto X Pure. Will it at least charge while the phone is used, or just break even, or defecit??
>>54370765
I'd love to order the k6000 pro since I saw it shilled on /g/ a few times, its camera is interpolated too, but whatever. I only care about battery life, then call quality second.
Only thing holding me back if, I checked their facebook page and people seem to be having issues with the devices and getting no support.
If it can last me a year, I'd happily buy it. I don't care about updates, but if the hardware gets fucked after a few months I will be forced to buy a new phone.
