like a redmeme 3 pro but with nfc, what options are ther
Hey, goys. I've never had a phone and don't know much about 'em. Need to get dad new phone for father's day even if it's late. He doesn't need an iPhone or a comparatively expensive phone. What's the equivalent of the moto/g/ from a year and a half ago? Or the defacto budjet phone?
>>55158810
>https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php/Chink_shit_general/Phones
its literally in the op. fucking read https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php/Chink_shit_general/Phones
>>55158827
I looked at that, but don't necessarily want to get chink shit. Would you be a good little boy and tell me what the current equivalent of the old moto/g/ is?
About to go pick up a G5 from t mobile for $400 am I making a mistake?

Should I take a Lenovo K3 Note or a Huawei P8 Lite? I really have no idea about phones and use them mostly for texting and navigation. Germany, Fonic, short on money, size about 5" to 6"
>>55158925
>>55158925
get a xiaomi red pro 3
>>55158862
but its good quality. s5 is good. waterprroof.
Whats' the best strategy to maximize mobile life?
Partial discharges? Full discharges only?
Leave it on the charger as much as possible (as it doesn't use the battery then)?
Nexus 6, if it matters
>>55158969
short discharge cycles for lithium ion, full discharge is not so good any more
it's not a perfect science :(

No to both. tell us your budget.
Do you let your phone battery die completely first when it's new before charging it?
can anyone suggest a good phone in 300 euro range?
>>55159088
Why no to both? They are "better" than my Lumia 630 and it's quite responsive for my normie needs.
Top budget would be 200€.
>>55159125
>>55159034
Those methods are for old phone with old battery tech. nowadays it doesn't matter if your'e letting it die completely or charge it mid way.
>>55159225
>>55159034
>>55158969
But it is better to leave it at 100% on charger if you can, right? Then it doesn't draw off the battery and is effectively as if it were 'off', right?
>>55159186
The K3 has shit specs, and P8 lite is old as well. for 200€ there dozen better choices. e.g
OP2
Mi5
Z3+
RN3P
Etc.

How does the S7 dual sim work? It means I can only have either a sim card and microsd or 2 sims?
Sorry for being a pleb, but I don't know jack shit about how carrier networks, "bands", etc. Would this phone be able to get service from major carriers in the US?
http://xiaomi-mi.us/redmi-note-3/
Says it supports this:
It supports the Network:
2G: GSM 900/1800/1900MHz

And no, Redmi's lack most American carrier compatibility.
>>55159728
Answer is in OP.
Tell me 1 (one) reason why I should upgrade from S4 to S7.
Is that "L Speed" app placebo or does it actually work?
>>55159774
If you have money to waste, why not?
although I'd recommend a sony phone if you do plan on upgrading
>>55159888
Just about everyone in the last thread said current sony is shit though
>>55159906
Oh...
I just got home..
Why is Sony bad nowadays?
>>55159888
I'm not a fanboy but I upgraded from S to S4. I'd like to keep the chain going because autism but I'm having a hard time thinking of reasons to upgrade.
>>55159924
Poor build quality, bad cameras, bad specs for the prices they charge, removing features for no reason, slow updates, going backwards with design on X series.
>>55159581
he said at&t that thing gets no coverage in the states
>>55160021
actually it gets 3g but not 4g lte. Is it worth getting a phone that doesnt have 4g support?
any phone that is better than RN3P?

Do you recommend IQ shield for my S7 (not edge?) I was wondering if I should get the case friendly or just the full one
convince me not to get the OP3 next week guys
>>55160216
The battery is shit.
>>55160216
there is literally no reason not to buy one if you're in the market for a flagship-tier sd820 phone
I can't think of a flaw other than the shoddy ram management I've been reading about. That could be fixed with a software update though.
I wish you could build your own phone.
I would remove cameras to reduce the price.
is there a 5-inch equivalent of the redmi note 3 pro?
>>55160083
>>55160021
Yeah it's a shame that those chinkphones don't have all the American bands. I wouldn't get a phone that doesn't support 4G, it also lacks one of the 3G bands so you might no have reception at all.
>>55160278
>>55160296
The screen is awful. Like, seriously bad.
>>55160348
damn shame the specs on that bv6000 are ridiculous for the price. Can't find a phone with an sd and good battery for anywhere near the price. Smartphone market is so disappointing and overpriced.
>>55160306
Nope. Redmi 3 is 5" but with gimped SoC. Mi4c is SD808 but no SD card and smaller battery.

Reported :^)
>>55152875
Sorry didn't mention budget last time.
Part of the consideration of the Nexus 5x is the price. Looking to stay under 400. I'm flexible though and if I have to go used I don't mind.
Honestly I'm not looking for a monster of a phone. Kind looking for just the opposite. My experiences with the Galaxy S5 and LG G3 which were powerful for their time was shit. High power and over sized resolution leading to bad battery and too much heat for a phone.
I just miss my Nexus 4. It ran so smoothly and everything on it was so good except the battery, but at least it was upfront about that. And its screen didn't drain so much battery that you couldn't charge it with a battery pack on the go.
>>55160509
Cool :^)
>>55160485
Well, you can always order from China and hope customs don't catch it. anyway, the RN3P is in your range and it's the best choice either way IMHO.
It's miles better than those Lenovo and Huawei models and every parameter.
>>55160455
Smartphone market is disappointing if you don't want to waste 700$ on a fucking phone or are an iFag.

Disabling worked on mine. Removal caused some crashing. Version could influence this. Overall though it was a shit phone outside of having a nice vivid screen.

>>55160611
Still don't know how the 6s is better than the S7 edge. The battery is LITERALLY half the size. Some kind of bullshit going on here.

i know about the launcher, i am wanting the widget to show me bits of the cards like it shows in the preview, news/trip/ etc not just the weather. its supposed to show stuff from each of the app's cards
>>55161516
Le max 2 seems like shit compared to chink phones and the one plus 2, why one plus 2 over mi 5?
>>55161562
>Le max 2 seems like shit compared to chink phones and the one plus 2
How is it shit when it has better SoC and more RAM? lol.
He said budget his is $300. Mi5 is $350.
>>55161562
>>55161516
my bad I flipped oneplus and le max, point still stands though, why le max over mi 5?
What phone would you recommend with good custom rom support under $300? My Moto /g/ fell and the screen broke so I think it's time to get a new phone
>>55161596
that was me, I'm retarded, also budget around $300, so 350 is reasonable, even $400 if it was a solid phone that would last a while. Had a blu life pure before this.

>why le max over mi 5?
Well, it's cheaper. other than that I'd pick the Mi5 over it as well. it has less bloat and Xiaomi is a better brand IMO. for $400 you can get a Mi5 or Oneplus 3. people itt clearly have strong opinions about the OP3 so please read about it before.
>>55161537
Don't have a phone with me right now but IIRC the cards it shows you you can change somewhere in the google now settings.

Spec wise they are similar
SD820

OS is also supposed to be better than the MiUi which is quite a mess really.

Now, heres the story. We have Wifi on our Home router, like most routers, and this Wifi worked with all my Android devices (including the problem device) for the last few months.
A few weeks ago the Galaxy stopped being able to Update or Download apps from the Play Store. (Not entirely correct, it seems to still download some apps, however this takes upwards of 10-15 minutes just for a small (10-20mb app)
Following the usual troubleshooting, I have tried everything listed above.
3 other Android devices work without issue. I have factory reset my router again today. And yet it still doesnt work.
Normally I'd assume a router issue, but its strange that all other android devices can download without issue.
However assuming a phone issue, a Factory Reset should correct that too.
So, are there any DNS/ARP files that aren't changed? Or am I looking in the wrong place? Any help would really be appreciated.
>>55163047
No. Are you?!
>>55163055
proxy settings.
I've been meaning to upgrade for a while now, and I've been looking into buying either a Samsung Galaxy S7 or an LG G5.
Which would you recommend?
[spoiler]Tbh, I mostly want the S7 for the VR gimmick.
>>55163139
Yes
>>55163156
Thanks
>>55162974
Bottom ports are a thing because of the docks
>>55163139
S7
bigger battery
waterproof
better camera
and no meme modules.
I Need a phone that is,
5-5.5 inch preferably
I don't give a shit about camera
SD 810, or 820
Either 64gb or micro SD
Oled screen preferably
Good battery
Works in on at&t
I was looking at the oneplus 3 is there anything just like it but smaller
>>55161101
Any phone you would recommend over it?
So any recommended phones for:
32gb internal
At least 2gb ram (3 is good too but I'm use to horribly inefficient phones needing more than they should)
CDMA (or at least work on CDMA carriers and yes I know they are shit but only towers here really)
Rootable (a few key apps need this)
5in (flexible here I just like it to fit in a pocket, but also not be too small to see)
Good screen (don't care about stupid high resolutions, just bright enough with a good viewing angle to work)
Good Battery (use it for gps and often for work it can't be dead in the middle of the damn day)
I don't mind paying a decent amount, but prefer to keep it low since I'm not looking for a beast just something reliable with good life. And I don't mind waiting either or going second hand.

Sadly still looking myself. If you don't need CDMA you have more options than I though. I just know from my own experience helping people fix them and with my own device they tend to get too hot, use way more ram than they should, and generally do not respond as fast as a phone with their specs ought to.
Also the camera having a problem focusing is a known issue Samsung as basically said fuck it to. More or less it will be in focus then when you click to take a picture it then unfocuses. So its focus correction works backwards to blur photos instead. Not a big deal for me personally but I think this would piss many off.

>>55163442

The wiki has a few good ones, research them yourself.

If you want a recommendation, I use BlackPlayer EX.
What's a high end phone I can buy these days with expandable storage and removable battery?
I just want a fucking Super Droid Maxx.
I loved the Maxx, specifically because it's focus was on long term battery life (that shit didn't quit, I had it play youtube videos for 4 hours after a day of use, and it didn't die for another 2 hours after that).
I have the Maxx right now. What I love:
>Shake to open camera (fast too)
>Massive battery. This thing gets me through the day with 40% when I go to bed.
>Fast Charging, charges in 2 hours to full.
>Super Amoled screen, love it.
>Screen is bright as dicks, can still see it without shading the screen in direct sunlight
>Good loud (Pretty fucking loud) rear speaker that wasn't too tinny. Better than any other I've heard
>Big, but not retard size (5in screen, 6 in with my otterbox case)
>Buttons not on screen (really personal)
>basically stock android, minimal bloat horseshit (fucking Verizon)
Had it's downsides:
>16GB storage (only model they still made when I bought it
>No microSD slot
>Fucking cracked the screen after a 1.5ft drop from a table onto concrete
>Camera App sucked dick, Snapchat took better photos
>slippery as fuck without a case
Fuck the Maxx 2, big downgrade on hardware.
Closest thing to an upgrade is the Droid Turbo 2
>Fucking 3 GB of Ram
Nigga, my shit is fucked at 2GB, 1 more aint gonna help much
Samsung Can Eat a Dick
>Shit battery life
>Fucking massive phones
>shit proprietary apps and software
I hate how no phone gets it even mostly right. The vast majority pull it half off, and nothing more.
>>55160807
I've dropped the order on just that, best version in grey. It's a bit over budget, 220€, but still ok :^)
>>55164016
Forgot the image like the ragetard I am.
What plan would you even use for a chinkphone like Xiaomi? I'm using Republic now for my Moto G, and I'd like a plan for roughly 30$ a month.
>>55164018
>using the smiley with a carat nose
Looking to pull the trigger on my first ever smartphone, and I'm leaning towards the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3. Is there anything better for the price point, specifically in the camera department?
>>55163944
V10
>>55164016
I hear you on this.
Its like what people want:
Smooth running so good ram
decent storage
bright screen
long battery life
What companies shill out:
Proprietary features nobody asked for
Fuckers still make budget phones with 8gb knowing their bloat takes up 4 to 5 so even 16gb is fucked now, but they charge an extra 100 to bump from 32 to 64
Stupid high resolutions that drain battery and offer nothing
Shit batteries to make it thinner or lighter or just to sell you a battery pack
Bigger CPU full of heat because sure we totally need an octo-core to render fucking facebook
Should I worry about the amoled screen on a used s5
Currently looking for emulator for N64 and PS1.
Any option?

Hey looking to buy my first phone and get off my parents plan. My iPhone 4s crashes apps and has a broken speaker. Looking for an easy transition from this but also interested in customization.
Price isn't a problem as long as it's good value I'll use the same phone for 4 years.
>>55164018
Good job anon. post a mini review when you get it.
>>55164485
It's a great choice. see >>55160807
admittedly the camera is on the weak side on the RN3P. but it's the best price/performance model at the moment.
>>55165199
If price is not an issue then definitely get a flagship. S7/HTC 10/6S according to your preference. S7 has the best hardware but a lot of people don't like touchwizz so much.
Axon 7 - anything fishy/bad about it that we know of? They don't seem to be releasing much information, but the OnePlus 3 seems to be a bust.
>>55165236
So the Redmi Note 3 doesn't work with Cricket, which carrier do you guys use?
Is there any chance that the release of new Xperia phones will cause older Xperia models to drop in price at all? I'd love to get a Z3C (the Z5C looks nice but I don't need the boosted specs, for my needs), and would love it even more if I could get one even cheaper than the current prices.
>>55165337
It doesn't work on most American carriers sadly.
>>55165398
So what would I do with it as an American?
Greetings.
I just poped in to say that Xperia M4 Aqua is a piece of shit and i have been feeling suicidal since the first day i used this turd.
Thank you und goodbye.
>>55165429
Don't buy it..? lel.
Moto X Pure: Cop or not?
Does the OnePlus 3 work on t-mobile US? just ordered one cause if I'm going to spend a couple hundred on a phone best to spend a little more and get one that will last.
What are /spg/ approved browsers.
>>55165682
Naked
Lightning
Chromium (build it yourself fag)
Firefox, maybe
>>55165548
>Does the OnePlus 3 work on t-mobile US?
Yes. could you really not google that?
>>55165682
APUS.
Opera mini.
>>55165429
If you get the global version it will work on ATT and Tmobile with partial LTE support.
>>55165728
Many thanks.
This looks comfy af but shitposting is awkard

Best games for android?
>>55166175
have marshmallow?
>>55165493
Cop, unless you have qualms with battery and Lenovo's support
>>55166212
yes. just brought drastic emulator and planning to get gta games
>>55166451
btw on marshamllow it comes with a hidden flappy bird like game. Go to where you can see the android version number and click on it til you see a marshammalow appear on the screen and hold it down til a game pops up.
Cheapest phone with a 5.5-6" IPS screen and SD Card slot that's not complete garbage?
Just sold my iPhone 4S backup and need a new one to take its place.
i have the s7
feelsgoodman
>>55166521
Depend on your carrier, redmi note 3 Pro might be the one to look for. Great battery if that what you want.
Non-chinkphones with good battery, $400 and under.
>>55166622
I'm looking for something a lot cheaper, I already have a flagship as my main phone. This is just a backup that also works for movies (porn).
I think I already found a good one, the Xperia E5 thats about to come out.
How is the battery life on the Nexus 5X?
6p is a little big for me. I don't like the lack of sd slot, but anything I find not running stock android seems to run like shit these days. Why manufacturers fuck with something that worksI really don't understand, sure they can advertise some stupid feature, but then reviews blast the phone for running like crap.
>>55165469
Z3+ causes the same feelings bro hold me
>>55165469
>>55166708
>tfw pleased with my z5
too bad bootloader unlock allowed : no :(
I work for Apple, I was part of the team in charge of the new iPhone. Ask me anything (not posting my real name or another data that might get me caught).
>>55166674
Isn't Sony a bit overpriced? At least rn3pro provide flagship level performance and since its your backup phone it'll serve you better with extra packing battery. Oh yeah, it's also known by its cheap price point.
>>55166777
Is it true? The lack of 3.5 jack?
>>55166777
How much RAM? Does it have a microSD slot? Removable battery?
>>55166777
Are you suicidal?
>>55166824
No.
>>55166831
4GB, same amount that the iPad Pro.
>Does it have a microSD slot?
No, it comes with 32GB, 64GB and 128GB of storage. The 256GB Model will be exclusive of Apple stores and website.
>Removable battery?
No.
Where can i buy a Global version of the Redmi Note Pro?
>>55166909
>>55166943
Oh thank goodness. I'm sure those retarded trend will soon fade on Android phone.
Fuck you moto z and those le le le chink company.
>>55167024
Removing the 3.5mm jack would be suicidal.
>>55167024
good goy remember to buy the 128GB version it's only 40% more!
>>55167065
Sony ain't removing shit but still suicidal.
Motorola is left to chink now so that probably count as suicide.
>>55167102
Not really a fan of the "mods". I feel bad, I remember Motorola being actually decent when I was young, I still remember my old Motorola flip phone.
>>55167084
Price are still not decided, but yeah, the iPhone Pro will be expensive.
>>55166909
Any new feature spotted Mr leaker?
>>55166949
no such thing ignore willmyphonework
>>55167199
I would prefer that you ask me for something specific.
To start you will get a free iWatch and a pair of Beats headphones when purchasing from the Apple store as a courtesy.
>>55167231
That's oddly generous of them. Its fine dude, I already got my answer about the headphone jack.
Thanks for dropping by.
>>55167331
It's for the 10th iPhone anniversary,
Any idea why the Sprint SIM cards we have at work don't work with the S7? They're labeled expomobile but have always worked with expo, virgin, sprint for every relevant phone up until the S7. If we need to get new cards just for dealing with S7 that's fine but I'm curious as to why.
>>55167338
Is it for the first 500 customers or launch day freebies?
>>55167349
Surprise gift for the first 10k people to get their iPhones, US only; probably 10k/ the most relevant stores in the city.
>iPhone 6 is the closest thing to my perfect smartphone design
>fucking hate iOS and apple
How stupid would it be to buy an iphone and proceed to install Android on it?
Does the edge on the s7 edge hurt make it shitty to watch movies on?
>>55167398
Pretty stupid desu. Can you not find some chink phone with the same design?
>>55166808
Sony budget phones are really cheap through Carriers Prepaid. The current gen Xperia E4 is $79AUD.
>there is a line on my phone that exposes a green tint when there are bright colors
Why the fuck did I buy an amoled phone? Please kill me
>>55167837
More specifically a samsung phone
Would Redmi Note 3 Pro be considered a decent upgrade from a OPO?
Anyone know when these bastards will come out?
Going to retire my Moto G.
I'm planning to get Boost's ZTE Warp Elite but I'm worried about the coverage since I live in SoCal. Cricket has far better signal but I can't find better phones in their selection within the price range. Any advice?
>>55168352
Unless you got your carrier band and don't mind okay camera then I'd say it's quite a side grade, not an upgrade though snapdragon 650 does provide flagship level performance.
What's wrong with your OPO?
>>55162420
Bumo
>>55159963
You can wait to upgrade to S16 to satisfy your autism. Hope your S4 holds until then though
What i can do to make notifications to appear in my lock screen in my Moto G1? 5.1 btw.
I currently own a Moto G (2014)
A friend is giving me his old Galaxy Avant with root and TWRP.
Is it possible to overclock the snapdragon 400? I heard that the Moto G cannot be overclocked because Qualcomm locked the SoC down.
Thank you for your time.
>>55169053
Nothing wrong with it, just wanted another chink phone to try. Battery is okay on OPO, but that 4000mah on the Redmi Note 3 Pro is tempting as I'm a heavy user.
Was looking at the OP3 but can't justify it's $650 price tag here in aus land.
I'm assuming camera on Redmi is just as shit as OPO? That's the one thing all these chink phones seem to lack, a camera up to Iphone 6 standards.
Anybody tried the Oukitel chink brand?
I don't use heavy stuff so I figured I'd by a phone with a big battery instead of one with strong specs.
Running a first gen Moto G at the moment, should I upgrade to a OP3? it seems like a massive upgrade and kind of rad but I like hearing what other pink before I get anything like that.
>>55169348
You won't be able to play the most demanding games on the pro but it's fine. I'm waiting for the k6000 premium. They got cyanogenmod if you don't like their gui.
>>55169509
>k6000 premium
how will it differ from the 6000k pro?
my roomate asked me if it's a good idea to get Sony M4 Aqua on a budget. I've told her to do it since she only has 200 eurobucks and really doesn't want to buy a used Z3 compact.
She doesn't the mind the display and battery being sort of shit. Was it decent advise or does anyone have a better idea what to get for 200 euros that isn't xbox huge and preferably water resistant?
>>55163081
Checked.
>No proxy set
>WiFi on Router has been reconfigured/renamed since Router Reset
>No proxy on any other device
>Security on Wifis set to OPEN UnSecured and tested
>>55169326
Camera is definitely nothing to write home off but since you favor big battery then imma tell you that with WiFi you have no problem hitting 10 hour SOT and on mobile data 6 - 8 hour.
I'm using one and apart of the okay camera and quite average charging time, this is the best chink phone I ever used.
>>55169461
No. It has it fair share of problems now. Even OPO is better than the 3. Find another alternative.
>>55169645
Why would you do that to your friend? M4 aqua has some serious internal storage issues and you better off find something better at that price point since Sony is overpriced as shit
