From what I understand they are fairly good on performance/price ratio, but they aren't going to have dev support so no CM (which would probably not happen just because of the other weird hardware). So you're stuck with the stock ROM which could be shit, and you're at the mercy of the OEM for updates.
>>53758486
Their new processors are pretty great, especially the X20, but they are shit because they violate the GPL by not publishing the kernel source.
$150. Need 4G and good battery. Best bet?
>>53758563
If you could spend another 50 bucks or so you could get a 5x
>>537585
This 5x? Doesn't appear to be $200.
>>53758587
From where?
>>53758603
https://store.google.com/product/nexus_5x
>>53758563
Virgin mobile has some pretty cheap smart phones for 100-150.
I'm a heavy phone user. I have been browsing the web on my phone for the past three hours. I've used about 50% battery.
So: what are the phones with the best battery life, or with swappable batteries?
Or should I just get a portable charger?
>>53758632
I'm looking to buy direct from Chingchong land.
Who else here /linuxonphone/?
>>53758450
I like flip phones, but what will being a flip phone actually do?
Why have two identical screens? At least the yotaphone gives each a purpose.
Is a new Nexus 6P worth double the price of a refurbished Nexus 6? I know I'll make either phone last 2 or 3 years seeing I bought an Lg L5 on launch and changed it a year ago for the horrid Lg G3 Stylus.
>>53758676
>>53758642
When optimized (greenify, amplify) Galaxy S4 is good. Plus, microsd and swappable batteries.
>>53758642
Depends how heavy your'e ready for your phone to be, and what do you use it for i.e games/browsing/camera etc.
tell us your uses and budget.
>>53758609
Project Fi (assuming they're still doing this deal) has a deal where you can get the 5x for 199 if you sign up for Project Fi. The loophole is that Project Fi is a non-contract plan, so you only need to pay for a month, and it's something like 20 bucks.
I'd double check my numbers, but it's something like half the price that it normally sells for with that trick
What's the best all around phone on Virgin Mobile that isn't an iphone or galaxy?
>>53758874
holy shit i thought you were full of shit
is the 5x a good phone?
>>53758748
Now let's say I want a Note instead. Still viable?
>>53758830
I use it mostly for web browsing, messaging (Line rather than SMS, if that matters), and social media. I do take pictures, but not constantly. Maybe a few a day, if that. Sometimes I play music too.
I basically use it for everything, I barely touch my laptop.
I'd prefer something with a large screen, or at least larger than the iPhone 5.
As for budget I guess I'd prefer $3-500, but I'd be willing to go higher if it's worth it.
>>53758960
nothing, virgins don't make phones
This is a weird question, but bear with me:
In order to use a phone in Japan it needs to pass a Japan-specific certification. Nowadays they just throw that shit on the regulatory info page.
Would you be willing to check your phone and report here if it has this mark? I'm looking to buy a new phone, and if I can import one cheaper than buying with a major carrier Id be happy to.
Give me your country, phone model, carrier, and if you have the mark.
>>53759006
Yeah it's pretty solid for what it is. You don't have SD card support, which is a big fucking downside in my book, especially when the phone is only 16GB or 32GB.
I'll say that I can't find a better phone for the price (maybe the Oneplus X), especially considering the support you get from Google for the 5x.
There are other downsides to the phone, but they're all still within acceptable realm for today's average $500 phone, let alone a $220 phone. I'd list out the pros and cons and see if it's something you want. I can't make that decision for you. I'll probably be buying one, though. I've been using a Lumia 640XL for a few months now and can't stand it, I've been dying to get back to the Android ecosystem, and the 5x seems like my best option right now.
You can also try waiting for a few months, there should be some new phones coming out around summer. I think a new Xiaomi is coming out in a few days.
>>53759014
If battery life is your main concern, you could go with one of these:
OnePlus 2 (pricey, new version imminent)
Galaxy note 4 (ditto)
Asus Zenfone 2/Zenfone Max (bloatware)
Redmi 3/Redmi Note 3 (pretty good overall, MiUI is meh)
Xperia Z3/C (kinda old by now)
Ulefone power (poor camera, poor gaming performance, heavy)
Plenty of choices at your price range really.
>>53759014
Depends on your preferred screen size. I think S4 charges quicker, but fuck if I know. But yeah, still viable.
I'm using a experia z1s right now and I really like it but I'm kinda getting bored with it and thinking about getting a new phone, I'm considering the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s plus, LG g4, and the galaxy s7.....what should I get???
>>53759014
S7 edge. Fuck budgets, it's what you have to get. Just get a monthly plan.
>>53759202
iPhone 6S 64GB Space Grey
England, UK
Unlocked
Has the mark
>>53759202
i have it, regular iphone 6s/us
I've been following the trend of the Xperia Z5 for weeks now. Wanting the US+warranty version but it's been $539 since release.
Today hit a milestone though. While it's been $539, technically, it's list price has been $599 with 10% off. Today I noticed that it was still "on sale" for $539, but the list price went down to $539.99. A sale with a savings of $.99. So it is getting cheaper!
Any idea went Sony phones drop in price even more??
>>53758642
Doesn't G5 have swappable battery?
is the nexus 6p a good phone to buy? Thinking about getting in when I get back to the US in 4 months
>>53759757
By that time the new nexus will already be out
>>53758144
>iphone SE
really nigger?
Checked out google's project fi but damn I really fucking wanted a phone with microSD support. like, that's the only reason I want a new phone as it is.
>>53758532
pls respond ;_;
>>53758960
Moto g, but it's the low end model, or the volt 2, but the galaxies and iPhones are the best on virgin mobile

Outeki k10000, you really don't need the power that those other phones provide, it's just a phone after all.
It has some good specs btw.
Whichi is more bang for the buck overall?
- Xiaomi Redmi 2 Pro
- Original Moto X
Both brand new. I'm leaning towards the Moto X.
>>53761332
Forgot to say that I can get both for the same price.

>UK, unlocked
yup
>>53761330

Is the Nexus coming early this year?
>>53759732
Doesn't the US version lack fingerprint sensor? Try to get one with it.
My Xiaomi Mis 4C will be here tomorrow hopefully. Upgrading from my Nexus 4.
I wanna get a Moto G with dual SIM in the US.
This model is only sold in Mexico, if I can get someone to buy it for me can they just ship it via fed ex or something or do I have to pay extra taxes when importing it to the US?
>>53762389
>Trusting Mexicans
>Internet Mexicans
I hope you enjoy your travel to Mexico to buy the phone.
>>53761798
Why would you get scammed? And if this is a problem there must be other placed to get a hold of it? I'm genuinely interested about this. I want this phone.
>>53762456
I'm Mexican myself and my family lives in Mexico and the phone is actually cheaper over there so yeah no prob on that end, I just want to know if there is a tax to be paid or if they can just send it to me.
>>53762492
Tacos :3
The design of smartphones (and as a consequence the design of their software) is terrible.
The only decent ones I've seen are the ones with the qwert* keyboards, but that's not supposed to be used on phones. It's still better than touch screen alone, but I think they should make something specific for mobile phones.
Why do you support this? And why do you want them to use smartphone design for software meant to be used on a desktop PC? This is wrong.
>>53762531
Yeah, I wonder why people don't use an otg adapter and a full size keyboard in protest.
>>53762531
This, the software is just buttfucked, can't even run Linux without a chroot and Android running alongside it.
>Just a few more days until my carrier pushes Marshmallow OTA
Getting hype
>>53762596
Update it manually
Normal for 5x?
>>53762531
Design is terrible
In what way?
>not supposed to be used on phones
How do you figure? What solution do you propose?
>why do you support this?
Do you not? You've given no specifics on what the problems are, let alone what you do to overcome them.
>>53758690
DS emulation
>>53762709
Yeah let's emulate the DS with one screen at the back of the phone!
>>53762736
read the name
>>53762617
5x is trash so yeah
>>53762763
Did I hurt your extra chromosome?
>>53762640
>In what way?
Every possible way.
qwert* keyboards are meant to be used with two hands.
I don't have a solution to propose, at least not yet, I'm just it should be explored. Right now everyone is ignoring it and they're putting touch screens on everything.
Nintendo did a great job with the DS, they kept the buttons and added a touch screen. Smartphones take buttons away to make it touch screen only.
>Do you not?
Why would you expect me to? What made you think I might support it?
>>53762874
The swipe input can be used one handed. The buttons on the DS don't sve the only problem you point out: qwerty was designed for two hands.
>Why would you expect me to?
You are in a thread dedicated to smartphones. The only way your commaints makes sense is if you have used them. Otherwise why even bring it up? You've offered no solutions to anything. We like smartphones, you've given no good reason not to use them other than their lack of elegance.
>>53763024
>lack of elegance
It's not about elegance as much as it is about how you interact with it and what the interface is like.
>qwerty was designed for two hands
Exactly. You don't use a phone like that. Like how keyboards have been designed to be used with two hands, phones should be designed accordingly to what you use them with.
>You are in a thread dedicated to smartphones.
Oh, I'm just passing by.
Thoughts on the Nexus 5X? Looking at Google Fi and it's a pretty solid price through them. 32GB model of course.
>>53759752
Yes it has
please advise
Dropped the shit out of my galaxy s4. The display is fucked- it would initially give me some wonky vertical lines of color but now only darkness. Powers on to presumably the lock screen, but touch is broken.
What is my best course of action?

worth it.
>>53763261
how much does it cost to repair the screen?
Poorfag here will not need to pay for these phones. I can pick between a Galaxy Note Edge or a HTC One m7. On one hand the Note Edge has removable battery and micro SD, on the otehr hand it has touchjizz. What do
>>53762617
How long has the screen been on and how long has it been off the charger?
Snapchat will drain your battery really badly. Facebook is also a culprit.

i have a question
i use quickpic as my gallery program. i have folders within a folder that i like to keep hidden. quickpic hides them well but when i unhide them it spits the subfolders out all over and i don't like that. is there a way to make it so i can click on the main folder and get to the subfolders without all the mess of my regular unhidden folders, or is there another program similar to quickpic that does this?
>>53763416

guys please help me out I'm retarded with this stuff
ok so I have a rooted Desire 820 with TWRP. However apparently custom recoveries fuck with OTA updates. When I click on Install update, the phone reboots into recovery and upon the subsequent reboot hasn't updated
so I guess I need a stock recovery but I'm looking for tard-proof instructions to do it safe and right
>>53763782
Get the ota file which takes you from your current version to the new version
Flash it in recovery
Or just flash the new images manually

You bought the G5 a year before it was announced?
/spg/, recommend me droid phone under $250
>>53761940
The phone I'm on now is an GS3, and that doesn't have a fingerprint scanner. None of the phones I had before that had one either.
I don't see that as required tech, and I think it's absolutely retarded that people feel the need to include it, else it's entirely a deal-breaker.
There are plenty of things I want in a phone, and fingerprint scanners aren't one of them.
About to pull the trigger on a Nexus 5x.
Someone convince me why I should or shouldn't.

>>53762617
terrible battery just like the old N5
What think? I heard it randomly shuts down and camera is shit. Is it true?
>>53765674
Don't buy midranges, get an old flagship instead.
>>53765812
I was considering G4 but I heard it's battery life is shit.
>>53765835
My G4's are fine, most of the people don't reset after the MM update so they run into problems.
And they most likely run older builds.
>>53765674
>>53765812
Incredibly related: I like the size of this thing (6 inch screen), but it's a midrange too. Is it shit?
>>53765911
most likely, your budget and country?
I will look some phones for you if you want after I finish something
>>53765812
>Don't buy midranges
Why? Because of shit performance?
>>53765981
bad support, non-guaranteed updates, obscure dev scene and you will most likely get fucking with something like limited space to install apps, locked down features, lots of bloatware apps (more than flagships) and more
I have this problem with infinite bootloop on the flying colors on nexus5 821.
Tried fastbooting it and wiping the memory from the phone, that failed since it can't wipe/cache
Tried adb'ing and flashing a new rom on it, but it gives remote write failure. I've tried it on 3 pc's with 3 new drivers and one of the PC's was without android drivers to begin with.
Is there a way or is it fucked beyond repair.
>>53766027
Sounds like "don't buy apple" My gf rebooted her old iphone cause her android got stolen, and the phone is garbage, slow and all apps are oudated since you need to pay for an ios update.
>>53765911
>>53765967
>>53766027
They were advertising it alongside the Z5 and Z5 Premium, so I don't think it's super halfass or anything.
>>53766141
2930mAh feeding a 6inch screen, with a 306dpi (the z5 you call has 806 dpi) plus a mediatek chip just calls disaster.
It's not a Z5 Junior if that was your idea.
>>53766259
So snapdragon or bust?
>>53766283
Nah some mediatek chips are decent, but their chips are mostly used on the clone market.

How significantly have you seen your battery life decrease since you've had your phone?
I kinda want a higher-end phone, but it has a non-removable battery. How long do those last?

Im going to be in the market for a new phone in a few months, and honestly i have no idea what to get. Ive been using an ishit 4s for over a year. It was pretty good when i first got it, but after a week the left speaker blew out, and after the ios9 update its all types of fucked up. So what direction should i go in? What does /g/ recommend
>>53767480
Dat dual sim feature
Hey /g/, don't want to open a new thread for this.
Just rooted and flashed the GPe ROM to my HTC One M8, what are some good/useful apps that needs root?
Usinf AFWall+ and Greenify right now.
>>53759202
iPhone 6 Plus, unlocked, us, has it
I have a Oneplus X, let me do a quick review for some out there considering getting (over 5x maybe). I've been using it since its release.
It's à solid phone. Battery life isnt perfect, you will still have to charge it up at least once every day but it's still good to go with everyday routine.
Camera is great, 13MP arent worth shit but photos are in my opinion better than ones taken with iPhone 6 last time I checked, even with front Lens.
UI can be buggy at times and there can be some random heavy lag from what I've experienced, especially when waking your phone. Several times I had to shut it off for a minute before trying to unlock it again. Also you can't remove the battery si you xan easily be fucked.
Entry level snapdragon inside, don't ask much of games as it's kinda slow (tested clash of clans and hearthsone, both run like shit on this).
Screen size is ok too if you're not a manlet. I prefer smaller phones but the OnePlus X is surprisingly comfy to handle and work with.
Also if you get the black one , get yourself some case because that shit is a handprint magnet.
Good phone overall for the price, but if it wasnt for its clean design I would have got the moto g instead.
>>53767997
I dont have that phone but generally: Adaway, youtube adaway, xposed+greenify

Hey guys need a purchase advice.
Which phone for under 200 euro?
I want to upgrade from my moto g 1st gen. Right now I am considering moto g 3rd gen and idol 3.
Can i get anything better in that price range?
>>53770470
at what resolution?
>>53770496
720p is good enough, but if it being 1080p or maybe even 4k ridiculousness doesn't bump up the price tag, then i'd be ok with those.
>>53765300
I can make payments, but then I'd still have to pay the full amount eventually and I'd rather not have that loom over me and just buy it outright.
>>53770651
If you went over to a payment plan for a new phone through them they would use it to discontinue your unlimited data.

From that list I'd say Redmi Note 3(€163) Redmi Note 3 Pro (€200) and ZenFone 2(€200) are your best bets.

>>53763287
Off the charger for probably an hour or so, and I close the screen whenever I'm not using it. But in that period of time I did use Facebook and Snapchat a lot. I guess the 5x battery was predicting if I keep on doing the same kind of shit my battery will die immediately.
Just got my Redmi Note 3 and put Nova Luncher. Already geting sick of the Miui interface
Which ROM should I install?
>>53759202
Moto X Pure does not seem to have the spec on the device or in the settings, although it is a US only device.
Are you sure Japan bands are the same as US?

After dozing during my sleep, this is my battery now
>>53758365
I just got the galaxy s7 a week ago and the battery life is shit. Should I exchange it? I've heard that the battery life was supposed to be great.
Anybody knows a good alternative to the Honor 5X? Thinking about buying it due to Dual-Sim and the support for LTE band 20. Also FullHD screen and apparently soon CM support.
>>53767319
Doze settings (root required) so that it goes into Doze very quickly (30 seconds iirc) when idle.
>>53767305
no it only went into power saving mode at 5% battery
>>53772674
>>53772904
Yeah it predicts your time remaining based on what you have done during the period between now and taking it off the charger.
Still, even if you had been using it constantly for an hour it usually says 9 hours remaining for me. But again, Snapchat and Facebook will severely degrade your battery life. Facebook you can use a pinned Chrome tab to access it, but Snapchat is a necessary evil if you need it.
At least Doze is working correctly, it looks like.
>>53773021
I'd take an inventory of what apps you are using. If stuff like Facebook and Snapchat are installed, any phone will have poor battery life. But if it already has poor battery life and you just got it, it will only get worse as time goes on.
>>53772839
10 cents have been deposited into your Samsung Pay account.
>>53773185
>>53772904
Yeah maybe I'll switch to Chrome for FB.
I love snap unfortunately so I'll just invest in a usb c battery pack if necessary.

Bumping this question.
>>53772701
Interesting, I just got my Mi 4C earlier today, and I'm really like MIUI.
>>53773716
Actually, you can even save the Facebook link from chrome to your home screen, so it almost feels like you're using an app anyway. That's what I do, works well. Chrome gives me instant push notifications from Facebook too. For messages I use Disa to combine my WhatsApp, Facebook and texting all in one.

Got my Redmi Note 3 pro recently, so far it's been a beast of a phone. Build quality, performance and screen are excellent, far better than anything you can find at the price range, with the notable exception being the back camera, which is below average, don't know how it is with their other models. The Miui is a hit or miss for some, in my case I really dislike it, but I'm used to clean Android/Slimrom, so it might be I need some time to get used to it.
1. What time management app do you use?
2. Android video player with cache function to buffer network stream?
USB OTG cable that can power USB's and charge the phone at the same time?
There are, your kernel might not support though.
dear euro's in /spg/,
I'm looking to buy a 6s.
how good of a deal is it for me to buy a scratchless 6s for 590?
>>53774371
>Got my Redmi Note 3
That one looks good, already read review in gsmarena but the specs difference to the redmi 3 doesn't warrant the 100€ gap imo
I'm more inclined to the latter
>>53775184
The mediatek chipset in the regular one is good, the only reason I went for the SD650 one is custom rom support.

My 1st gen Moto G is showing it's age and I'm looking at either the Nexus 5x or OnePlus 2 as replacements.
In Ireland and both are roughly the same price (OnePlus is €10 more). Any advice, and any other device I'm missing that would be good for moderate day to day usage? (social stuff/music/videos/browsing)
I'm kinda interested in the Xperia Z5 Premium.

No worries, it's a pretty neat app.
>>53776286
I don't know why Sony shit is so overpriced. It is a good phone, but at that price you can buy something better, or something cheaper with similar specs.
>>53776393
If I end up liking it, I might want to use it for a while. It isn't necessary, but the option to replace might be nice.
>>53776423
>>53776577
That's why I asked for suggestions.
Legit question: I'd be interested in a Note or Note Edge, but everyone hates TouchWiz. I've never used android, why are manufacturer variants almost universally hated?
Should I just get a Huawei Mate 8 since it's easy to put Cyanogen on it?
Just bought an LG G2 for under $100. Will I need to upgrade anytime soon? Phone is great but the only thing I dont like is the battery life. What are some cheap cases? I assume 2GB of RAM and an Snapdragon 800 is more than enough?
How many years until BlackBerry stops supporting the Passport?
Are smartphones nigger technology? They're just small consumption devices designed to waste time and be unproductive. They all have big glass screens making it very difficult to type coherently and fluidly on one. They tend towards being full of addictive and stupid applications.
We've been getting dumber and less productive since 2007 when the iPhone was released and set the standard for every other smartphone out there. Also the year of the banking crisis and stagnating wages, coincidence?

>>53758642
Look at this nigger. This is exactly who i'm talking about. Browsing the web for three hours, on a fucking 5 inch screen? You aren't learning anything buddy. You could have spent that three hours learning a new language, or learning how to code, or learning how to build a website, or learning an instrument.
>>53776790
If you want a big phone why not just get a Nexus 6p? Pure android, high end specs, big screen.
>>53776790
Get the Note 4, it's one of the last flawless big phone. Hell get the Exynos version, it's superior in every way to the Snapdragon one. 'TouchWiz is bad' is a bad joke that's been irrelevant since lollipop, especially now that the Marshmallow update is already out
>>53777310
Not flawless actually. The fast charging is starting to kill the hardware. Mine would randomly reboot and get stuck in a boot loop. Upgraded to the LG v10 and fucking love it so far.
>>53777363
Just turn off that fast charging and use that extra battery instead

So cute

>>53776790
Touchwiz was a horrible bloated piece of junk you couldn't remove. An entire suite of Samsung apps no one used, since Samsung was trying to innovate at that time by pumping out a billion useless features.
I was thinking about getting the Z5 too, too bad Sony can't make a perfect flagship phone.
>>53777500
But the S4 is the perfect size.
I'd really loved to buy a Samsung Galaxy S7, but the display resolution is an overkill.
It kills the battery life and the performance.
Totally unecessary to go beyond FHD in a 5,2'' device.
>>53777247
It isn't either/or, man. I'm the same poster, I play three instruments and I'm living in a foreign country and learning the language. Maybe it's cause I'm a kike though.

>home button sticks out less and is thus somewhat harder to press
>taller
>less comfy to grip
>less energy efficient
Only advantage is 1440placebo, the CPU is literally the same krait cores at 2.7ghz, which you can easily overclock to on a note 3, and the gpu being better is nullified by the higher res screen.
And I guess the metal bezel, although my note 3 feels as if the build quality is overall better other than bezel.
Still might upgrade to it in future if the note 6 proves to be shit and doesn't have microsd or removable battery and I find one for cheap, but 3gb of Ram and the snapdragon 800 model are easily enough to do literally everything.
>>53777798
Are you trying to say that's good, or bad? I'd like for my 5x to get 7 hours SOT. I'm getting between 4-5.

G3 here
MM rolled out for Verizon and international models a week or two ago
Tmo says we'll get it but I'm getting antsy
At least I'm not on an ATT model though, those guys probably aren't getting shit
Hurry the fuck up
>>53776286
Why not just get the Z5? It's pretty much the same thing minus the 4K bullshit.
Granted, it's still glass, but it has a matte back to it which makes it less slippy. AND it's also about $100 cheaper.
Believe me, I've been staring at the Z5 on Amazon for weeks now waiting for it to go down in price.
The good news is it's list price (which was $599) went down to $539.99 yesterday. Granted, amazon has been selling it for $539 as a sale price (10% off), the fact that it's list price went down should hopefully HOPEFULLY see the phone go "on sale" 10%+ which would put it about $486
But then god forbid you live in a state where you have to pay tax, which would bring the price back UP about $29

Because the Premium has a larger screen. For $60 more that's easily worth it.
But if I'm going to spend $600 anyway maybe an Xperia isn't the best choice.
Protip: for a device like a smartphone you'll use constantly for years, don't drive yourself crazy over $30 or whatever. Unless you really can't afford it, in which case maybe consider that awesome Nexus / Project Fi deal.
>>53758676
Technically almost everybody :^)
>>53776286
I have this. I don't recommended. However, since you mentioned the glass breaking, here's a useless anecdote. I dropped mine from my pocket while getting in my car and ended up slamming the car door on it really hard. The phone got kinked up into a compound curve, but somehow the glass is fine. Just severely bent along with the rest of the frame.
>>53778944
wew thanks
>>53779032
I appreciate it, but can you explain why you wouldn't recommend it?
I'm not dead set on it, it just caught my eye.
>>53778976
It's larger how? Physically or resolution? I know it's a tad bigger physically, but the Z5 isn't exactly small either. The 4k screen isn't exactly 4k. It's only really used in certain instances and is otherwise downscaled to 1080p.
4k on phones is absolutely retarded.
Best quality camera on an android phone with a microSD slot?
>>53779144
The regular Z5 feels "premium" enough. To actually get the Z5P just makes you feel like you spent $100 more than necessary. It's not like you're getting a faster model or anything. You're not missing much.
>>53779206
>physically or resolution
Yes. The screen is literally larger, thought I thought it was 5" To 5.5", 5.2 to 5.5 isn't as big a deal. PPI is too, though yes 4k is clearly overkill.
The difference isn't huge, but as I said previously the price difference isn't an issue for me.
Once more, if I "have" a Moto X 2013, is there a reason to upgrade for a Redmi 3? >>53774244
I'm gonna do a lot of traveling soon and want a new phone. Good adc, camera and expandable storage. Is the G5 the best phone in this case? The add-ons seem to fit the bill perfectly.
>>53779375
>>53773969
They are nearly the same, but the Redmi 3 has a better processor and far better battery life.

>>53777003
I had one for a while. Screen ended up developing a dead zone a few months after I got it. Common problem. If it happens you're basically fucked because the repair is as expensive as the phone.
For battery life, best thing to do is root and install greenify. That will at least keep your idle battery drain to almost nothing. Other than that, it's a few years old phone now so you can't expect the best screen on time.

I need a poorfag phone. Tmobile network. In the past few months I've had an LG G2 (faulty touch digitizer), GS4 (no call audio) and a BLU Life One X (fucking touch digitizer again). Do I go a bit outside my budget and get the 2GB Moto G? Some other used thing? I don't want a shitty chinkphone anymore. Is a Moto E too shitty with 1GB RAM?
>>53780043
You use your phones as tennis balls?
>>53780090
I baby them. With the first two they were widely reported problems and I just was unlucky enough to have them both affect me. With the BLU phone I'll chalk it up to shitty parts and QC. Luckily I was well within my return period on it so I don't have to deal with BLU support.
So... what are my options for something with 2GB RAM? Used Moto X, GS5, One M8 are all in my price range. New Moto G may be an option.
>>53780488
M8.
>>53758365

It's my daily driver. Get it. Now.
>>53773716
Have you looked into 3rd party apps? They're essentially web wrappers, but they're apparently pretty nice and energy efficient. Metal and tinfoil are supposedly nice.
>>53780930
How am I a shill? The s7 just has everything i want in a phone. The s6 had poor battery life and no sd, s7 fixes those
What is the main reason that people suggest the S7e over the vanilla S7?
That price point isn't enough to convince me to spend 110 burger bucks on the edge. They seem to be pretty much the same in specs. The additional battery life in the 7e is to compensate for the additional screen size, so there's no point to argue the bigger battery.
>>53781191
Edge is a useful gimmick, actually.
Battery, bigger screen.
>>53781191
It looks really good, but I'm not sure how well it'll play with custom ROMs
I'm deciding between the s7 and the z5 myself.
>>53781161
>>53781129
>>53781213
Do you really bump accidentally into the edge screen all the time if you have no case? that's my only concern with the S7E rather than the vanilla S7.
>>53781264
It's been more or less fixed with an update, I'd get a nice case anyway though senpai.
>>53761782

The thread will prob die soon, but here goes anyway.
My priorities in a phone (ranked) are:

>reliability/support
>Finger print scanner
>USB C

>>53781549
Price range, location.
>>53781600
Northwest Arkansas, preferably under $400, but I'll pay more if the phone is reliable and truly worth it
>>53781591
If it weren't so pricey, I'd be all over it. I'm still considering that one, by the lack of expandable storage sucks pretty hard.
>>53781682
The Moto X pure was $349 this week iirc.
Near stock android, decent battery life and specs.
There were limited edition designs so you can't use motomaker
>>53758696
nice screen real estate my dood
>>53781682
The lack of expandable storage was a big downside for me too, so I initially bought the Moto X Play and used it for about a week before exchanging it for the 6p. And while I did like how the Moto felt in my hand a little more I gotta say the 6p is far and away a better device doing just about everything. Plus it looks so good that 50 women have dropped to their knees and begged to touch my pecker just looking at it. Would recommend senpai.
>>53771157
exactly, so fuck them, gotta buy a phone outright.

>>53758365
I have a lot of porn in my sd card and in my computer. Whenever i download new porn in my PC i drag & drop to the phone's SD Card (It's an Android device).
Is device encryption the only option to prevent access to the SD card if the phone is ever lost? Wouldn't it fuck with my ability to transfer files back & forth between PC & SD card because it would require me to constantly encrypt and decrypt?
>>53782224adb devices
should show you a device connected.
you probably have to enable USB debugging in developer options.
>>53782238
ok when i put that in it gave me no devices. can i just turn reboot/unplug the phone then try the process again and it should recognize it?
>>53782261
you need usb debugging enabled in developer options
you also have to allow the connection. You do this on the phone after you plug it in. (you can set it to always trust so you only have to do this once).
first make sure the option for USB debugging is checked, then plug it in, then unlock your phone and authorize your PC on your phone's screen
>>53782301
ok did both, gonna retry the whole process. thanks for your help
>>53782081
How would you compare the battery life of the Moto X Play and the Nexus 6P?
>>53782301
>>53782355
tried it and it recognized my phone, but after i did "adb reboot bootloader" and went to the recovery part and further, i tried it again and it's not recognizing again
>>53782231
Well the way it works with encrypted internal storage is that you are able to access the files from your computer provided you unlock the phone and authorize file transfers. I'd assume that the same would hold true for the SD card.
Pretty sure it would simply be encrypted and decrypted as you use the phone. Would be no different than having decrypted storage, except it could be slower and you can't access the files if your phone bootloops (like the G4) or someone takes your SD card out and tries reading it.
>>53782398
once you get into the bootloader (pic related) you have to start using the fastboot command rather than adb
in the bootloader, tryfastboot devices
usually I just use fastboot to flash the factory images, I've never bothered using an OTA file.
>>53782455
i'm clueless so sorry for asking basic questions
if the update zip file is on my actual pc, how do i get it on my phone if it's not recognizing it? i tried to follow an online tutorial step-by-step
http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/how-to-install-ota-updates-on-google-nexus-devices/4/
i get to the end where i have to type in "adb sideload [zip name].zip" but then it tells me it's not finding my device, even though it found it earlier when i did "adb devices" like you said
i'm disappointed that i got my nexus a few weeks ago and it's still stuck on the january system/security update, so i tried to just sideload it after everyone suggests it but i'm getting frustrated with this shit too. /blog
>>53782398
also this guide pretty much tells you how to do it. the easiest method is probably downloading the OTA file and just flashing it using either the stock or TWRP recovery, but it also tells you how to do the adb sideload method
http://www.droidviews.com/51022-2/
welp, I think I'm done with WP. today has finally made me realize I like the OS more than Microsoft does.
Debating on moving from my 950 to either the S6 Edge or S7. I can get the Edge for free, or get the S7 for 389. I'm not sure it's worth it.
What do?
>>53782373
The Moto had slightly longer battery life, and by slightly I mean like 30 minutes of SOT longer. They're really comparable, but the Moto's quick charge seemed just a tad faster and the availability of microusb literally everywhere was a plus too.
>>53782496
Okay so it looks like you have to be in the recovery mode (not the bootloader, but you access recovery through the bootloader menu using the power and volume keys.)
So reboot into the bootloader, use the volume keys to select recovery and then the power button to go into recovery mode. If you see a dead Android:
>When KO’d Droid appears, press and hold Power and quickly tap Vol Up keeping power pressed. As soon as the menu pops up release power
Then you select "apply update from adb" in this recovery mode. At this point, I think adb should be able to see your device again. then you just do the sideload command
make sure this OTA takes you to the correct version from your current version. if you're on the January update and it is a February->March OTA it won't work and might result in a bootloop.
Again it might just be easier to just flash the images directly instead of fucking around with OTA updates.

The problem is, that's not what the warranty says, it only says that it doesn't cover damaged caused by unauthorized modifications. Has anyone had any luck getting shit covered under warranty for a rooted phone from a company that tries that shit? Any company, not just Caterpillar.

Then the manufacturer can fuck you in the ass with retarded policies.
You can buy an attachment with the FLIR Lepton sensor for any phone. Note it's only 80x60 pixels.
>>53783945
Eh, the resolution doesn't bother me much. Even without the FLIR, it's a decent enough phone. I guess I'll just get a year of SquareTrade warranty on it or something, just checked, it's only $70. If I fuck it up, it's whatever, and I could totally understand a company denying a warranty claim if it was a software issue, but I specifically asked about a charging port failing or something, and yeah, no hardware warranty if software gets changed.
>>53784212
Without FLIR the phone is very expensive for the spec.
>and I could totally understand a company denying a warranty claim if it was a software issue
That's why USA will remain a shithole.
when you buy a device, you expect it to adhere to a specification. If it doesn't (i.e. there was a failure at manufacturing), the manufacturer should fix or replace the affected unit. It's nearly impossible for software to cause hardware damage, and even if it did, a flaw introduced at manufacture time should still be fixed, although it's hard to prove this when there's user-induced hardware failure.
Thoughts on this?

The back feels cheap. MM feels smoother than LP, supposedly the latest OTA increased the battery life even more.

I might wait for it, but I'm worried about the structural integrity of the phone. Also, the module thing is quite the useless gimmick, as well as the Type-C connector which I'm not ready to switch to.

Here's your (You)
>>53786826
Thanks, you should take a photo of your screen and put it in your wall.
>>53786824
So basically it's not bad at all except for minor physical issues?
>>53786902
Well and the sd615 if you are into gaming and that.
So i plan on getting a lg g4 for my next phone however I have heard complaints about quality of audio on lg devices. I care about audio quality and want to know if this is true and if so what alternative devices with better quality audio and with similar features (expandable memory) could I get.
>>53786974
In LG you get above average audio quality w/ the V10 and the G5 w/ modular DAC.
But if you don't define yourself as an audiophile the LG G4 will do.
>>53787002
I don't define myself as an audiophile by any means but I certainly want good quality. Sadly I am getting the phone this week and the carrier doesn't offer the v10 otherwise that would have been my choice. Thanks for the help I think I will go with the g4.

Make sure that you don't get one with a serial number starting with 505,506 or 508. Those models have faulty motherboards and you will get a bootloop that kills the phone unless you send them to LG/ your carrier in exchange for a new one.
LG gives you the choice to repair your phone or send you a new one for free.
What does /g/ think about the Xiaomi Redmi note 3 pro? The snapdragon 650 version
>>53787214
2GB or 3GB ram?
>The snapdragon 650 version
Why would anybody get the mediatek one?
>>53782526
Seriously? Both on 6.0? The play is supposed to have insane battery life
>>53786573
I think it's a great choice. It's future proofing her, and that thing will receive updates for at least another 5 years if moto keeps up their update game

>a good dac is useless
Freedom isn't useless.
Its like saying ThinkPad modules are a gimmick.
>>53787855
Think about it. You can only have one module equipped at any time. More likely than not you're just going to stick the DAC there on forever, and never have a reason to remove it again. LG hasn't revealed any other modules, but I'm sure there really isn't much else worth swapping the DAC out for.

>>53787919
Yeah maybe they should have just put the dac on and left out this module thing but probably 90% of people don't need it with their shitty iem and streaming. So to keep cost down you can't include the dac every time.
It is beneficial alone for battery access, giving longevity to the phone life for one. And I could even see some people liking the photos thing but people like that should just get a fucking camera, dumb gimmick in that respect.
>>53758532
If it isn't a plus, turn on power saving mode
Don't play games bc battery won't last if you do
Always Google OS updates before installing to check for bugs
Don't update ota, do it through iTunes
Definitely get a case and screen protector or a skin
Good luck
>>53788022
Battery access could have been done differently.
The DAC thing is pulling the cart before the horse; it's because of the modularity that we got the DAC, not the other way round.
With the limited space you get to work with without turning the phone into some monstrosity, I don't think there's much to be done. Also note that if they do release a module that rivals the DAC in usefulness, you're first going to spend extra money on the module, and have to pick one to use as a daily driver.

you are two months late, apple will announce a new phone on march, be sure to tell your friends before the event goes live mr. time traveler
Anons I'll need to do a factory reset after a 6.0 update on my LG G4. Is LG Backup app reliable for restoring everything? I have Nova Prime and spent quite big amount of time to make my phone perfect, will it restore everything as it is?
>>53788537
Make a backup with nova prime and upload it to drive. Then restore it after re installing the app
