Well, that's unfortunate. Chose the wrong time to buy it.

But the battery life is great when there aren't any memory leaks. Screen is pretty nice. Phone is decently peppy even with encryption on. But I need that GPS.
>6/10
>opo? Never again
I need:
Official Cm13 support (not random pajeetrom 0.3 pooinloo edition)
Physical buttons (like the s3)
Amoled ~5.2" screen
Basically a bigger s3 with a snapdragon and a bigger battery
The oneplus x and the galaxy s5 look good, i would also get a nexus 5x if the cm13 support is good enough
Anything to suggest?
>>54420177
i had this phone for a bit, i loved it when I first got it. soon, after power using it almost everyday for about half a semester it started getting slow and annoying, camara was never particularly flattering for snapchat which I use a lot, eventually it got so buggy I had to rreset it. I made sure this time not to do anything remotely scetchy with any chink malware software. It kept being slow and thermal throttling.
Eventually i gave into the applel meme and have been much more satisfied ever since especially with snapchat and the camera overall, the only issue is that GBA emulators were slightly harder to get.

I use my phone for only a few select things so it works out. Twitter, texting, pictures, gps, music, and internet browsing. Im kinda sick of phone emulation so idc anymore about that so this phone fits my needs perfectly. I cant take itunes though so i cant go Apple, especially when their new Apple Music subscription plan deletes music off your pc's hard drive.
>>54420262
I'm also waiting,
been using Moto G 1st generation since it's released, very happy and nothing wrong about it yet.
but I just want a new phone...
is Asus Zenfone 2 a good shout ?
Ive had my LG V10 for a few months now.
Solid phone. Nice and big like I like.
The extra screen thing at the top is kinda nice for seeing who texted me without the whole screen lighting up.
Downside of the extra screen is I have to put my phone face down at night otherwise the extra screen will stay on and just drain away.
Great camera. Only gripe is it takes photos upwards of 10mb so I have to crop photos to post them to 4chan.
Here's just some random photo I took with it.
>>54420547
Whoa wtf.
I just checked the info for the regular pic and look at that resolution.
Anyone know how to change this so I can get good quality pics without them being so many mb?

Same here senpai. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
Whats the best GSM phone right now? I'm thinking of going with the one plus 2 because it seems like the least normie option. I really want an xperia z5, but i cant really drop $600 all at once since no one offers monthly payments for it.

honestly i was just broke as shit at the time and completely ruined my nexus 5. ever since ive started using this phone my priorities have changed, dont really play games anymore i just wish this phone didn't stutter during simple tasks.
I want to get rid of my Nexus 5x and get a phone that's similar to the Nexus 5.
Suggestions?
I only go on social media basic shit like snap and fb and also browse Clover. That's it.
>>54421602
I'm with you, if it had 2gb ram and an MT6753 you would probably be set for a while. I'm on a 1gb phone too and that's mostly the problem.
Recently got an S3, because it was the biggest step up I could afford, believe it or not.

>>54421681

Why is no one making phones you can comfortably use with one hand anymore?
Should I get LG G3? The ridiculous resolution is actually a good thing for me, since I plan to use VR chinkygoogles with it.
I have a one plus 2 and my fucking home button randomly stopped working today. Nothing's changed it just refuses to work. Anyone know a fix? The hard reset method does nothing for me.
Nexus 5x vs htc m9. Which one and why? Thanks

Did you know the S5's OS alone eats up almost half of the memory on the phone?
Then you get the useless bloatware that Samshit and your carrier crams in there that you can't remove unless you root your phone.

What's the difference really? A slightly slower CPU might not affect him if he doesn't need it, keep in mind that this is also a <$220 phone.

Maybe wait til september, when the 7 comes out and the price of the iPhone 6 drops a bit
>>54425221
Tfw i still have a 32gib Ip 3gs which acts like ipod.
Coming from a Galaxy S2, loved the absolute shit out of it and only need a new phone because It's stopped holding charge for very long. (Have already tried replacing the battery).
My girlfriend has a G4 and loves it, and it does look like a great phone, but I'm wondering if that big of an upgrade is necessary. Is there any reason to buy a G4/G5 over a G2/G3 if I don't care about camera or fingerprint scanner?
![hqdefault[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/se1NvTZ.jpg "hqdefault[1].jpg")
I can't find a Bluetooth keyboard case for the Nexus 6P - I've scoured the entire Internet (took like 5 minutes) and can't find one.
It does not exist. I am sad.
>>54425711
G2 is a pretty neat phone!
>>54422161
Yeah the G3 is really good phone, and currently pretty cheap also. Bought mine when it was released (~2years ago) and I've had absolutely nothing to complain.
I've dropped it at least dozens of times and only ended with couple scratches on the side of the phone. You should also buy screen protector made from glass, not from plastic.
I'm so happy with my G3 that I'm in no hurry to upgrade to another smartphone.
>>54424593
can you elaborate why the phone is so great?
>>54425711
not really, only thing better is camera and some other bullshit features no one cares about. stick to the g2, or get a redmi note 3

Looks like the difference between g2 and g3 is a removable battery and expandable memory, which would be nice to have. The difference between the g3 and g4 is minor, some CPU and camera differences. Looks like I'm going with the g3.

I haven't had an actual cell phone in about two years. Last one I had was some LG from Virgin Mobile. I'm about to move back to the US - trying to decide between AT&T and Verizon. What provider/phone should I get /g/?

Really any phone from either of those carriers should suffice. But I would recommend Verizon. Really good coverage.
>>54422240
Nexus 5x, because no Snapdragon 810
Am I going to find a better phone in the ~$300 range than a Nexus 5x for $320? No Redmeme Note 3 or other backdoored chinkshit pls.
>>54426583
That's what I want, the nexus 6p. What the 5 running marshmallow when you left it?
>>54426594
Both offer an employer discount which is nice. Like I said, I haven't looked at phones in years. I thought they used to be cheaper (subsidized) when purchased from providers. What happened? Also what Android is considered the best on the market these days?
>>54426623
Well, every android has its flaws, for example:
>LG G5: sharp edges and poor quality.
But I'd say the best on the market is the Samsung galaxy s7
>>54422161
Get the Note 4
The overly high resolution will lag the underpowered processor
>>54426614
yeah it was. Honestly I had no problems with the nexus 5 except for the awful camera. I actually liked the phone a lot. The 6p is just a bit better in every way.
>>54426233
I wouldn't nuy a G4, the upgrade from G3 is minimal and it's hideous. Besides, also from G2 and G3 there isn't so much of an upgrade, and if you're not concerned with having the last tech release, G2 is your nigga

>>54419140
Note 3 -
Pros -
- Screen is pretty nice, full 1080p
- Meme pen is cool if you're a drawfag or like the feelings of hand writing text
- Battery life is acceptable, about 12 hours of moderate-heavy use on a full charge with default battery
- Lots of accessories
- Is old enough to be had new/used for cheap but new enough not to be a piece of shit
- Performance is great, no real slow downs even in demanding applications
- Physical home button
Cons -
- Quiet. Phone calls aren't very loud. Speaker is acceptable.
- TouchJizz
- Laptop big
- The screws in the back randomly come loose every couple of months so the GPS stops working until you tighten them
- Probably won't get any more updates
Overall I like it. I don't buy new or cutting edge phones so it serves my purposes just fine. Got it for like $150 in almost mint condition.
People who feel like they HAVE to have the absolute newest phone to browse Facebook on are fucking retarded.

Would you reccomend the s7 then? Samsung pay is probably my favorite feature on it desu, i know the screen and camera are god tier but I'm just unsure about touchwhizz and the locked bootloader.
>>54427549
Oh their will probably be a newer one then. But then again, maybe not.
First time on the board/thread, so I know I'm about to get memed on hardcore
I had a droid maxx 1, and I loved it, battery lasted forever, but I broke it and bought a HTC one Remix.
2 and a half hours of using it and battery is already like 55%.
Asking co-workers, they all say they'll hit zero if they are on their all work day and it blew my mind.
Was I spoiled as fuck with my droid?
Do those cases with the battery packs work well?
I hope I didn't trigger anyone with my newness.
>>54427604
Kek if you hadn't said you were new I wouldn't have known.
>no s6/s7 active in germoney
goddamn, the galaxy series looks nice but the all glass back is a huge turnoff for me.
Posted it as a reply to the OP in a thread about the Sony Xperia Z5, but since there is no Z5 review yet, I'll post it here too:
I have a Z5 and it's pretty good imo. It has this annoying thing though, that if the internal storage (32 GB) is 75% full then it nags you with notifications to transfer your shit to the SD card, even if there is no SD card in the phone. It can't be turned off in settings, but luckily you can turn it off using a single ADB command (ADB is part of the android SDK).
The camera is pretty good obviously, it can record 4K/30 FPS, FHD/60 FPS and 720/120 FPS, the only thing it's lacking is support for the camera 2 API in the stock ROM, meaning you can't take raw photos, for example.
Also, the fingerprint sensor is pretty convenient and it works well in my experience. It is in the power button, not in some retarded place like the back of the phone.
Battery life is good, and it has stamina mode, which basically turns off Wi-Fi and 4G when the phone is locked, but it does so in a clever way, so you don't have to wait for the reconnection when you wake your phone. It's pretty convenient, considering my friend always puts his phone manually into airplane mode to save battery. Obviously this means no messenger notifications, which may be a dealbreaker for some.
>>54427604
>Buying low-end HTC
There's your problem. Motorola, chinkphones (aka Xiaomi, Meizu), Huawei are great phones for lower price, while top-premium brands have overpriced low-specced devices.

I mean that he's probably not a heavy-user and doesn't work on his phone really often, therefore the phone might be a bit of an overkill for him.

>>54428335
Oh I see. I thought he doesn't use some feature or some useful app, but couldn't think of one.
>>54428375
>I thought he doesn't use some feature or some useful app, but couldn't think of one.
Actually it is very possible. I doubt he uses fingerprint scanner or some shit.
>>54428349
It's got an amazing screen, breaking all by itself! that's fucking magic if you ask me
has anyone had their hands on the xiaomi mi5?
i'm interested in one but i've never seen anybody here that has it
>>54422141
5x is literally the answer to your needs
Should I use samsung or google text to speech/keyboards?
Stupid question I know. Guessing the keyboard is down to preference but curious if the there's any difference in quality int he text to speech.
>>54431529
Swiftkey.
>>54431529
google keyboard tends to be the most polished and they periodically include (read: steal) all the great useful functionality from Swype and Swiftkey
just to be sure, do you mean text-to-speech or speech-to-text?
my htc one max is getting slower by the day and its very frustrating. running stock 5.0.2. why is this? something to do with lollipop memory leak? i would install CM but i would rather keep fingerprint scanner and better audio driver (speakers in CM sound like shit)
>>54420909
maybe you should consider Moto X Force? has acrack proof screen pretty much.
>>54431963
Speech to text, sorry.
Currently have a oneplus one. Plan on upgrading near the end of the year. I can't imagine getting a phone smaller than 5.7'', but ideally I would want a 6inch phone.
Any recommendations or phones to look out for that? That Huawei looks dope, but too expensive.
LG G3 is awesome. Had it 2 years since it came out and not even looking at new phones.
best 4.7" screen phone. hit me with your best shot

What is the best keyboard and why it's the Google Keyboard?
>>54431996
The Apple iPhone 6S Plus doesn't have this problem.
I'm torn between the HTC 10 and the S7 Edge.
I want the supposed "hi-fi audio" of the HTC 10, as well as the cleaner android ROM, and possibly USB C.
What I like about the S7 Edge is the battery life, and the better performance. I don't know if the AMOLED of the S7 vs the LCD of the HTC 10 is a deciding factor or not either.
I'd just get a 6p but no SD card slot completely kills it for me
>>54432428
Swiftkey uses ~40mb of ram (vs 16mb Google's) and it is bloated as hell
why the fuck does everyone here recommend chinkphones that they have never even used themselves? wtf drives you to do that? on top of that most of these phones don't even support american bands.
is it seriously just
>muh specs?
>>54432383
Just downloaded "multiling O keyboard".
Used to use Swiftkey, since it's literally the only keyboard that lets you have 2 language dictionaries active at once. But this Multiling O is INSANELY customizable. Very nice.
My G3's screen started to burn out after a year of extremely heavy use so just grabbed a N5X today. Pretty happy with the hardware and price but a bit perplexed with how fucking awkward it is to root and unlock, expected more from a Nexus really.
>>54432522
I downloaded it for test and it is using 52mb on idle, kek
I need money so I'm selling my 5x.
I need a device that has the power of a nexus 5.
What do I get?
(for Canadians, I have a Fido BYOD plan for $40/1gb, any suggestions?)
>>54432725
But two dictionaries at the same time is bad
>>54432832
No it isn't. I generally speak in a different language than I use on the Internet, so I like to have two dictionaries for seamless writing in any situation. Also English + native tongue is pretty useful in itself.
>>54432810
LG G2. It's a N5 with better battery and cheap as fuck.
>>54432522
>>54432802
>having phones with less than 3GB of RAM
Stay poor.
>>54428944
Is this really a thing or just a meme? My gf has been using the z3c for over a year now, dropped it on concrete several times without anything happening to the screen.
Seems like a great device so i'm thinking about getting it myself, upgrading from my shitty s2.
Any advice on that or an alternative? Shouldnt be larger than 5", <250 $
In case anyone cares, Motorola has the flipshells for the Moto G2 on clearance.

>>54432874
Having two dictionaries at the same time is one of the reasons I dropped Swiftkey, if you use the Swift, the dictionary becomes a little bit inaccurate. English is not my native tongue tho
>>54432893
Zenfone 2 reporting in, I just don't like to bloat my phone.
>>54433095
You could always not have them active at the same time..?
>>54432749
it's not hard at all, you must be retarded
>>54424593
I got the redmi note 3 mtk one. Really xiaomi has turned to shit. Locked bootloader. Fuck off. Im going back to my old mi4i which luckily doesnt have a locked bootloader

Thats cute

What the fug are they going to give us?
>>54433168
I didn't say it was hard, it's just awkward as fuck to be rooted and keep up with the latest security updates.

LYING OUT THE ASS
>This time around, HTC decided to tweak the BoomSound setup a bit and designed the HTC 10 with two different kinds of speakers. Rather than having two front-facing speakers, one that mirrors the other, HTC decided to move the lower speaker from under the display to the bottom of the phone, right next to the charger port.
Moving the lower speaker to the bottom made it easier for HTC to put capacitive buttons and a fingerprint scanner on the chin of the phone right below the screen. This helps to keep the lower bezel's size down and also gives a good aesthetic balance to the speaker above. The lower speaker's position allow us to hear the device ring in cases where the phone might be face-down or in a jeans pocket. Good thing too, since the HTC 10 scored the lowest in our loudness test between the LG G5 and the Galaxy S7.
THIS REFERS TO THE STEREO SPEAKERS NOT THE HEADPHONES
So I've had a G3 D855 for about 8 months now, and I'm getting annoyed at LG's Marshmallow since it introduced a coupled of incredibly annoying bugs
>Refuses to find LTE networks unless I manually search for networks and connect to them, have to repeat this process almost every time I drop down to WCDMA due to holes in my operator's shitty LTE network
>Keeps recognizing my regular headphones as a headset,subsequently going apeshit with voice commands, starting soundcloud/spotify and changing tracks (incredibly annoying on soundcloud, as I use it for podcasts)
So do any current or former G3 users have advice on what Marshmallow-based custom roms to use for stability?
>>54432725
The stock keyboard can have dictionaries for multiple languages active at once too, the fuck are you talking about?
>>54433581
Fulmics is a pretty solid stock based ROM.
The headphones issue is very common, try plugging in the jack slower. It's to do with it catching on a tiny little metal contact inside that detects the extra band on a set with a mic.
>>54433690
I'm using S5 with stock KitKat, and a) the stock keyboard is ugly af, and b) I'm not able to have two languages selected at once. I can swipe between the two by swiping spacebar left/right but not actually have both on.
>>54433773
Oh I see.
>>54433193
Shitty headphones probably.
>>54422432
>gf needs a new phone, so I sell my G2 to her
Fucking jew
senpai I'm probably upgrading to a cheap smartphone for the first time in my life soon and I don't know shit about modern phones.
is the Moto Xt 1060 16gb storage 2GB of RAM decent? my biggest concern with modern phones is the battery life.
I don't plan on playing intensive games or anything like that I'd just use it for casual web browsing and shit like whatsapp and other social media bullshit.
>>54434113
>Snapdragon S4 Pro
>2200mAh
Good god, no.
>>54434113
what's your budget
We don't need higher resolution phones. We need better batteries. The "insert synonym for great" AMO/LED meme needs to end. Manufacturers have been playing with us.
>>54434149
the moto x can get you through a full day easy as long as the battery is still good ..
>>54434357
we don't need better batteries, we need thicker phones
>>54422432
The G2 still is pretty fast, I also have a G2 and a G4. The camera is amazing, but if you leave kids play their games they prefer the G4. Also
>sold it to my gf
Did you also sell your mother to afford the G4?
>>54426883
most old android flagships can't run marshmallow iirc

Alright, I want a G3. How much of an issue is the overheating?
>>54432886
This pretty much
>>54434184
well i'm not set on anything specific but something in the 200-250 range would be it I think.
>>54422432
>gf needs a new phone
>sell my G2 to her

Fuck you cheapass manchild
>>54434472
>200-250 range
There are a million better phones for that price, WTF?
>>54434500
nigga I said I don't know shit about phones pls no bully
I want to go back to android but I'm scared of the shock of having to deal with shitty/ ugly apps compared to iOS
>>54434574
Buy a Nexus 5X then. Android looks the best unskinned and you obviously haven't used Android since a long time. Material Design looks better than IOS's design language.

Blackberry Keyboard
Been using the ZTE Warp Elite for over half a year, been loving it so far. Build quality is solid, very little slowdown, and works well for what I need. I think it's below $100 USD right now, and with that price I would definitely recommend it for a good budget phone.
>2GB RAM
>13 MP/5 MP Cameras
>5.5" display
>Customizable home buttons
Though there are a couple of things that might put some people off:
>720p
>ZTE branding on the back is a bit ugly
>CDMA
>Android 5.1

old home screen
So Google came out with their document taking via voice thing, which I really want to use, and it seems the most useful on the phone, but the problem I am having is that the microphone turns itself off if you aren't talking. Constantly turning it back on kind of defeats the purpose. Also it seems like the mobile version doesn't let you use all the same commands.
Is there an app or a way to fix this?
Do you guys have pastebin of sort or something?
I got a new xiaomi phone and I'd like to know if there's some kind of a list of /g/ approved of apps for basic functionality.
I want to replace some of the stock chink bullshit ones.
Things like dialer, messaging, gallery, music player, file manager, qrcode scanner etc.
I've used JuiceSSH, MX Player and ES Explorer (which I'm pretty sure if pleb tier) on my 4 year old phone.
The stock browser had this neat radial menu thing when I placed the my thumb on edge of the screen, I'd like that too.

Shit sucks, they just ended the pre-order earlier this week I think.
And you lose whatever gift they are handing out apparently too.
Need an app to make my other apps think I 'shared' their bullshit to my social media, but theres no fucking way I'm actually sharing that spam. Android phone, rooted.
