>>55493902
/g/-chan, daisuki~
Really upset to see that none of the Xiaomi phones work on 4G in the US...
I'm looking for a phone under $300 that can play games and runs on 4G in US with decent battery life. Screen resolution doesn't matter.
Who Blackberry here? Ive had it for 5 months. Blackberry hub was amazing for when I was buying a house because it's a constant stream of emails, calls and texts but now that it's over I want to go back to the dark side again.
Polite reminder to link all the iPajeets or people considering an iPhone to this image.
>>55493922
Why do people act like this is a real choice? If you are deciding between G4 over a 6P, price is the only thing you care about so just buy the G4.

since there isnt a tablet general, I'm gonna ask this here.
I have an old-ass iPad 2 that I use only for reading and watching netflix. Seeing as apple dropped support for such old devices with iOS 10, I'm going to sell it this month.
My question is, what is the best midrange android tablet currently? Nvidia shield K1 seems pretty good but it is impossible to buy where I live.

any reason not to get a oneplus 2? seems pretty cheap nowadays especially for the specs
Got an S3 T999 (T-Mobile version) that I want to root and learn custom ROM shit with but the /g/ wiki has not helped yet. I went to the XDA forums for my exact phone, but the guides seem to be outdated because I tried the most recommended method (Towel Root) and it would not work. Anyone have any babby-mode methods that still work?
(I won't front, doing it so I can play Pokemon Go, and because I was always too lazy to do it when I got my S3.)
>>55494416
Pixel C can't run x86 programs. Also you can easily emulated Android OS on the Surface 3.

samsung j7 2016 or xiaomi redmi 3 lads?
both have huge batteries and both are 720p. now the redmi has a lot more features and a better chipset that is true but if something goes wrong with it then I'm fucked. samsung provide 2year warranty on anything with replacement no question asked.

Buy a ZTE Warp Elite. It's only like $70 on amazon and fully supports that meme game.
Does frequent fast charging hurt the battery? As in putting it on a wireless charger for small chunks of the day and just get a little bump charge? My new car has a wireless charger built in
>>55496076
>Does frequent fast charging hurt the battery?
Depends on how hot the battery gets while charging. Generally as long as temperatures stay below 100F while charging then fast charging won't shorten the amount of charge cycles before a failure much. It's mainly exposure to hot temperatures that kills batteries faster.

Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong section, I don't know where else to ask this. I have one teen and one 12 yo (both tech savvy). Long story short I need phone monitoring software that doesn't show up in the app list. but everything I search for online looks sketchy. Both have rooted GS5s. I don't care about the ethics or anything of the sort (I'll raise my kids, you raise yours). Any help is greatly appreciated. I apologize ahead of time if I derailed the thread. Thanks.

They are smarter than you. Just give up and realize regardless of what you do they will smoke pot, have sex, and look at porn
That being said if they root phones they probably post on here because 12-16 is about the target age of 4chan during summer time... recruiting young minds
Is marshmallow worth getting on the Z3C? I've seen some places say you lose Stamina mode, but now it's apparently back - is that indeed the case?

Lastly, they probably do post on here or at least the older one does.

It's twice as much new though, not sure it's worth it. I can always replace the battery or get a zerolemon or something...
>>55498059
Its 629€ where I live.
Coming from windows phone, Lumia 635. I'm in love with the battery life and durability but honestly having no access to popular apps has gotten old. Probably looking at android this time. I'm not sure at all what kind of features I should be looking for. Mainly looking for reliability and durability, I'll clumsy. I doubt I can expect a charge to last all day like with my nokia but decent battery is important to me too.
What makes microsd slot important? I don't plan on using my phone to play music, I have a dedicated music player. And I don't think I'd ever use my phone as a flash drive because I usually carry one with me anyway.
>>55498153
*sigh*
I'm afraid you must delve into the deep world of chinkshit my friend. because if it exists the Chinese have built it you can be sure of that. but as far as my humble knowledge goes the exact specs you posted are only matched in the galaxy active line.
I'm disliking my Zenfone 2 more and more. I was willing to accept the bloat and got over that pretty easily, but software support is now a thing. This thing has been on Android 5.0 (not even 5.0.x or anything, just 5.0) for, well forever, and software support on an app-to-app basis isn't even guaranteed (Pokemon Go won't work on it for example).
It's what I get for getting an x86 phone in an ARM dominated market.

Should I buy an iPhone so I don't freak out normies? I'm probably going to use a flip phone primarily and switch out to either my Droid Turbo or this new iPhone when I travel.
Have an LG G3 right now. Seriously considering ditching my data plan when my upgrade comes in in a couple days and going pay-as-you-go. I'm generally happy with the G3 other than the potatocamera.
Does anyone have any experience with PAYG setups that could recommend/talk me out of it? Was thinking of rooting the phone as soon as it's off-contract and customizing it but I have no experience doing so.
Also have the G3's sister tablet they were giving away for free a few years back, probably going to turn that into my shitposting apparatus in a bit here when I can get it off-plan and rice it to shit.

Doesn't that bother you? One of the most excruciatingly painfully simple features of a phone are fucking missing. Torrenting is the easiest method to get a movie without paying anything, it doesn't get any better than this.

It's not so bad, the sub-$100 Warp Elite has saved us. Really amazing how cheap tech is getting. I bet by 2018 there will be phones with 4GB of RAM, a 1080p screen, and SD 850 SoC for less than $100.

They were thinking of going with TING cause of the use of Verizon towers (they tend to travel to some rural areas), so what's some good phones they could get? I was thinking of Moto Es or something from Blu. The R1 HD looks nice, but CDMA and what not. I was also suggesting Cricket to them.
>>55500663
Oh! Was also considering the HTC 626s
>>55500437
Seconding this question
Newfag here. How can I view all the old /spg/ threads?
>>55499913
>>55499217
Just got it. S7 for $384 AUD ($290 USD), sealed box with warranty, no it's not stolen.
Probably the best deal I'll ever get in my life.
>>55501235
Disable most of the bloat, install Nova, and you now have a phone good enough to last you at least a solid 4 years before anything worth upgrading to comes along.
why do i have to install so much shit to root my phone
why am i so retarded
>>55501235
Where do you fags keep finding these phones for like, half price
>>55500437
Nope, they've run their course. Only semi alternative is cases with keyboards built in but even that's a bit...
>>55501599
this
is anyone here running CM 12.1 and experiencing keyboard crashes when installing OpenGapps?

>Mobile data? Oh dude I'm on my parent's plan I don't really know how much I use but it just works you know haha I have all my pictures on google and dropbox so convenient
>>55501691
I wouldn't mind a fucking 64GB ROM only phone, if it didn't make every phone fucking $100 more than it should be, for fucks sake we have 256GB SSDs for less than that
>>55501732
OnePlus One doesn't have this problem. :^)
>>55501740
neither does your mom because she has unlimited storage
>>55501701
>10$/GB
Sorry I asked.
Is Quick Charge safe when using a USB A to C cable? Seems like there isn't a Benson approved charger.
Good battery
Works on CDMA
Plenty of storage or an SD slot
Root
Why is this not a fucking thing. Does it exist?
They'll put a 2k+ resolution screen on the fucking things that I can't tell from the 720p one I had years ago but fuck me if we can get a battery that makes it through the day.
>>55501886
>CDMA
Found your problem.
>>55501886
HTC 10
>>55501886
HTC10 can be hacked open on Verizon, and Axon7 might get CDMA after release
>>55501903
>>55501905
have to mail it to some guy though
>>55501914
If the phone was $100 less it'd be a non-issue
>>55501893
Yea I know it is. Problem being GSM towers don't exist for shit where I am. So its have a nice phone or have signal.
>>55501903
>>55501905
Sounds promising. I've heard HTC are a motherfucker to repair though. Not that I've ever had to, but if I finally find something that doesn't suck a frozen turd I may keep it for a long time.
I miss my Nexus 4 so much, but its battery just couldn't hold up. Smoothest running phone I ever had though. I hate the raped versions of android manufactures dump on their phones.
What high end phone to get that isnt samshit with an SD slot ?
maybe a HTC 10 ?
Camera and screen is important to me and expandable storage.
>>55497940

Tempted to try a Nexus 5x, would do the 6P but its a bit on the large side.
Worries me that the battery is under 3k, but real android usually runs with less bullshit so maybe its okay. LG G3 cant make it to lunch and takes forever to charge. S5 was a glitchy pile of shit.
>>55502377
Wait for new Nexus then.
>>55502385
when is that going to be released
Is the Sony Xperia Z5 compact crazy better than the Z3 compact?
Is there a way to root an android phone without blowing the efuse? I have a motorola droid turbo.
Deciding whether should I buy a Wileyfox Swift or a Galaxy S4.
I don't really like the empty space on the bottom of the Wileyfox, since that's wasted space, but the fact that's a company with less reputation than Samsung makes me insecure...
What would you do?
Which is more powerful?
>>55502560
srs, I am wondering this too. I'm looking to upgrade phones, but can't decide on Z3/Z5 normal/c, S6/S7
Any of you mad meme men who bought the RN3P have any opinions on the custom ROMs and the process involved in unlocking a new device?
I should get mine this week and I've already sent off for an unlock code, just trying to ready myself mentally so I dont brick the thing
>>55502722
I applied to get it unlocked and they sent me a code to unlock it however I noticed that you needed to flash to the China Dev ROM to actually unlock it.
So I said "fuck it" and stayed with the global ROM because I've had no problems yet :^)
Why are Blackberries still so fucking expensive?
I want one, fuck, but they cost about $300 more than they're worth.
Should I get a new flagship to replace my dying GS4 or should I spend that money on a laptop for school?

I have a fucking slow-ass iPhone 4 and I want to upgrade to an android device. What is a decently priced one that still has decent specs? The galaxy s7 edge seems way too gay for me.
Got my first smartphone- redmi 3 pro
lured me with its 4000 mAh battery, metal body, 3GB / 32GB, fingerprint sensor and 140€ price
so far I managed to do few things around it
>cut my simcards to nano and micro size
>replaced vendor ROM with chinese dev one
>unlocked bootloader
>flashed TWRP
>flashed xiaomi.eu ROM with MIUI 8
anyway, I am looking for a simple way/application that would do one thing only - allow me to comfortably and fast send stuff from phone to a share on my network.. through wifi of course.
I asked the day I got the phone as well, and someone said superbeam, but that does not seem to be what I am looking for...
Also any must have apps for a newcomer?
Do any fellows have any experience with Sprint in the US?
Someone over at /csg/ told me that the Xiaomi Mi Max might just support 4g LTE in the states if I switch to Sprint.
I've been with t-mobile my whole life. I'm afraid of switching.
Anons, I noticed that my G4 is charging up very slowly. Has anyone experienced this, too? At first I thought it's the charger, but used my gf's Galaxy S5 charger and it's still slow as fuck. What could be the reason?
>>55503692
Talking about LG G4, not Moto G4.
>>55503580
Well they have even fewer towers. You'ld be better off with one of the little third parties if you are just buying a phone on your own anyway over Sprint.
>>55503723
Could you possibly nudge me in the right direction if you have any idea where I can start?
I quite literally have zero knowledge outside of the t-mobile ecosystem.
>>55503421
Why didnt install CM? I just got my first smartphome, too, an old s4mini and with CM13 it works like a charm. For apps check the wiki and decide what you need
>>55503850
fist smartphone... Id like to get some reference point before jumping to something else, and MIUI seems alright and its made for the device... so Id like to know how long battery last with my use and general shit.. then I will see if I switch to CM or ResurrectionRemix or whatever...
Ok, it turned out that the ZTE Axon 7 is a shit device, has even less battery life than the OP3.
Now I can only hope for the Zuk Z2 Pro.
Hello recommend me a new phone. Currently have S3 would like osmething with better screen. Thinking about LG D855 G3 for 200 yuros, should I?
Any experience buying shit on eBay?
Is 420GBP a good price for a completely simfree 32GB S7 no edge meme phone?

>>55504123
you want redmi note 3
>>55503989
Do you mind posting a short review after a view days? I want to get a remdi or op3 in september.
I'm searching for a phone with one of the phone finders in the OP.
What's the difference between
USB On The Go and USB Host?
>>55504166
I don't have the device.
I browsed through YT.

>>55504155
I'd rather pay a few quid more and buy from amazon. Much easier to get a refund if something goes wrong.
>>55503421
ok, after googling and testing
es explorer seems to be working alright
not as easy as I would like, but works well enough
>>55504155
>Note that you are bidding for a copy of a guide and manual on how to procure a device at a lower pricepoint than the 539.99GBP RRP in the U.K, which may take up to 4 days to ship if you prefer it physically delivered to you rather than online. This is a listing for a manual and guide, not phone, please read the listing.
>>55503782
Don't go directly to Sprint but their MVNO Boost which uses the same towers and has cheaper phones. 2 of the most popular phones to consider from them are the S4 and Warp Elite, $129 and $77 on amazon respectively.

Why is my Xiaomi HM 1SW on android version 4.3 and how can I get it to 4.4 or upwards to play Pokemon Go?
I have an older Galaxy so I thought about upgrading to the S7 Edge, especially since every single review I've read calls it the best phone out there.
I really like how the Nexus 6P looks though (although I don't really like how huge it is), and I love how open and free of bloatware it is too. Timely updates are a plus as well.
I've had a Galaxy for years so I'm used to the look, to the point that I'm bored of it but that seems like a silly reason to ignore one of the purported best phones of the year. Any advice?
>still no non-shit screen protector that fits the s7
Why?
>>55504967
Get a phone with a microsd slot. 128GB microsd cards are projected to hit $20 soon, you really don't wanna miss out. The cloud is a huge unreliable meme companies want to cuck you to death with.
>>55505194
2.5D meme.
My screen is scratched to shit and it's only 2 months old.
>>55498692
Running it on pic related right now. Works fine. Only issue is that it won't detect phone orientation and asks to disable AR mode but since my camera is fucked up I don't use AR mode anyway. Running it with CM11
I'm looking for a new phone but i don't know shit about what phones are good or not or even what to look for.
I just want to play pokemon go and ingress because I need an excuse to leave the house and stop being a fat fuck.
I'm in Australia, planning on using Optus, I want a good fast phone with plenty of space for music and garbage apps i feel like downloading. don't really know what OS to use but apple or android works. Windows looks garbage. Budget is whatever i can talk my dad into buying. probably not more than $700. (i'm over 18, i'm just a neet and a mooch)
I fucking went and did it lads
>>55498986
I'm in the same boat, man. I'm considering switching over from my Lumia 640 just because there are a few apps that I want to use and I'm tired of tethering an android phone (why carry both, right?).
It's not compatible with all of the bands though so there may be some areas where signal quality might suck and that's my major concern. Tmo says they use band 2, 4, and 12 and the RN3P supports only 2 and 4.
Should I buy a 1+3 for 400€ over 2 years?
>>55505477
Nice dubs but its a poorly constructed phone

>>55505536
>>55505477
>no microsd slot
So you have a cuck fetish? Are you going to get on project fi and pay $10/GB next?
>>55505561
Not an americuck, 19.99 yuros for unlimited data free calls free texts :^)
>>55505549
Not him but that phone is extremely fragile, nope you get a very rugged case for that turd. Even then the back glass part might spontaneously explode.
>>55505375
But why is it so hard to make one? Isn't the S7 extremely popular? There must be a decent sized market looking for one.
>>55505671
Making glass with such a slight curve right around the edge without it shattering is apparently extremely hard, I'm sure it's doable but not at a realistic price point.
Even the half decent film protectors that actually fit properly are really expensive.
Whoever recommended me to buy a Redmi Note 3 Pro and gave me a Redmi 3 Pro link by mistake...I bought it without even realising it wasn't a Note 3 Pro until it arrived.
Its still an amazing phone, anyway. I can actually use it with one hand, unlike when I use my old Note 2. And the battery life is insane.
Can't get Cyanogenmod on it, but I'm thinking of selling it to a friend and getting a Note 3 Pro. My friend is looking for a replacement phone and they're really jealous it.
>>55505911
>Can't get Cyanogenmod on it
why? what rom did you put on it? or did you left vendors rom there?
