If they don't fuck up the stereo speakers, keep it high end, and don't make it too big, it'll be the best thing ever. But those are some big ifs.

Can't find any cases, is this still worth it? Pretty tough build and ip64 certified.

/spg/ I've been out of the smartphone loop for a while, but I'm getting a Z3Compact today.
Is there anything I should know? Any recommended apps? Anything about the firmware, shitty updates or root?
Oh and on that last point, does rooting void your warranty on Sony phones? Warranty is important enough to me to make me not root, but I'd really rather actually have root
Anyone know the progress of lg g5 getting rooted?
>>54271097
i was on a G3 for about 8 months, it was the phone i've been salivating for months before getting that but it was pretty 'meh' after awhile - just traded the G3 in for a Z3C mostly because i got tired of the phablet meme and after about 72 hours of use, its pretty amazing. apart from the shitty camera, and not so loud speakers, its totally awesome.

Buy a chunky case because you'll need it, the slightest knock will crack the entire fucking screen and render it useless. Dropped mine onto carpet a few months after getting mine, cost me £110 to replace it and Sony took 6 weeks to get it back to me. Second time the screen went it didn't even get dropped, it must have got knocked in my pocket or something but the entire screen died again, in the end I just got an HTC M9 instead of getting it repaired.

Hey /spg/ I have a stock 6.0.1 Nexus 6P and I keep getting a message that says "unfortunately the system UI has stopped". Then my phone locks itself and I have to put my pin in. It's not a huge issue but I don't wanna have spent $500 for a messed up phone. I've factory reset, wiped the cache partition, neither worked. I put my phone in safe mode and it hasn't shown up yet. Question is what is it? How do I stop it? Should I just return it?
>>54271540
Should I postpone the updates to make it easier to root or something? Feel pretty lost with it hear
>>54272043
Well shit man, that's not good to hear
>>54272720
I think the issue is with the waterproofing, something like an iPhone will crack in places when dropped so the screen is still usable, but the Z3C cracks all the way down the screen vertically as it's one piece sealed. One drop and the entire thing is fucked.
TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN

>>54273352
I couldn't say, look at some drop tests or something.
My Nexus 5x may have the better battery power performance over the 5 (not by much though), but in terms of 'quickness' and app usage, there really is no difference. Snapchat loads way faster on my 5, my phone never heats up as much as the 5x does, and the others app I use aren't any faster with the 5x. The thing is, using an extensive app such as Snapchat, this app KILLS the 5x while the 5 will suffer a bit from it but not as much.
Perhaps grabbing the 5x thinking it would blow the 5 out of the water was my mistake. Seeing popular apps such as the Facebook app and the Snapchat app almost drain my 5x more than the 5 makes the $500 unwarranted. I've only had this phone since mid February.
>tl;dr will resetting my phone via unlocking the bootloader help my 5x be faster and 'cooler' than my nexus 5?

Alright /spg/, I've got a Huawei U8650 since +5 years and I'm on EU. I've been wondering for the past days on upgrading my phone but I've been so outside the loop I'm clueless. After some lazy digging, I put my sights on a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro, my question is the following:
Is the +25% prince increase for the 3gb ram & 32 gb storage worth it or with the base 2gb ram & 16gb storage I won't see any performance differences?
I guess the true question would be, is for the near future (before 1-2 years) going to be necessary 3gb ram for average user smartphone use or is that a bonus we won't need until some time?
should i buy a nexus 6p on may 6th (last day of £70 discount)?
assuming it's delivered on the 9th, i'd be well within the return period if the new nexus phones actually show up at i/o
i don't think they will, personally. they're probably just going to show off the lenovo tango phone.
How long do you usually have a smartphone before getting a new one?
I'm not far away from my 2nd anniversary with the one I have right now but I actually really don't want to get a new one yet, especially because there barely has been anything that greatly changed on the market since then.

How do I turn off all the extra shit this comes with? Every time I install an app it's analysing some thing or another, there's recommended apps cluttering up the interface and all I bloody need it to do is browse my files.
Has anyone got either an older .apk, a way to disable the shite or an alternative file manager that has the useful features ES File Explorer does?

Why don't you under clock or overclock your phone?
Just noticed on max OC I get smooth frame rates on every emulator up to ppsspp. Under clocking it when I don't need the power and my phone gives me around 8hours SoT
I have £6 or so on the Amazon App store that I have to spend in the next few days
Recommended apps?
>>54278880
I used to underclock and undervolt, but my LG G4 has no kernels that support undervolting. It's depressing because it really helped with battery so long as I didn't go too low. Maybe I'll go back to underclocking, though.

Also knowing HTC they will make the Nexus devices slightly inferior so I think I will still just take the pre-order offer. Does anyone know how much longer we have to grab it?
>>54279178
I don't believe any carrier can limit their service to only 4G. Some have phased out 2G but none of the main ones.
>>54279454
they need to update kingroot already, the only method I know of for rooting the Redmi 3 is this all chink language app that doesn't actually work. "Root_Xiaomi_Redmi_3" v2.8 or something, originated from a vietnamese sit and is posted in en.miui forums.

Downloading .apks off some sketchy website seems like a good way to become part of a phone botnet.
>>54273753

>>54280102
Then don't use a sketchy website?
>become part of a phone botnet
You're running Google's botnet already, so what's the difference anyway
>>54280158
>Then don't use a sketchy website?
Like which?
I only use F-Droid as my non-googleplay store source of Apps. Everything else is too sketchy.
>You're running Google's botnet already, so what's the difference anyway
Because I don't want some guy's malware on my phone. And it's a very big possibility. There's sourcecode of Android-based Botnets as PoC's and used in the wild. Not a good idea to be downloading random shit

I'd rather just pay for it, get an alternative from F-Droid or do without it.
Besides, paying a couple bucks for a great app isn't much at all and it helps support development.

That's when you change how much power the clock speeds draw. I could make the 800MHz frequency draw 25 Watts or some other less than it normally does.

I see having 2 months of music more appealing than $25 worth of useless apps
>>54280249
>for a great app
yeah some shitty app that should be free in the first place. Like paying for a launcher? Really? Why is that even paid in the first place? I can download a feature-rich file manager that can shortcuts (the same thing a launcher does) on Linux that is completely free and even handles file management, and is open source. What makes Android apps different?
>>54280257
Fug that sounds beyond what I know about under clocking. I wouldn't mind more battery life our of my phone though that's for sure
>>54280297
I don't know. But I don't mind paying money for something good.
There's some really awesome stuff. I think like a ~$4 C++ compiler on your phone... That's cool as fuck
>>54270513
i need a cheap cool lightweight unlocke dinternational phone, liek the one in op.
i have an iphone but im leaving it due to restrictions by at&t
id like to just permanently downgrade to a beater phone, but itd take soem decent convincing and a well worth it phone.
i dont wanna spend more than liek $100 on it tho. cheaper the better. im going overseas and im just gonna buy a sim card and shove it in when i land
>>54280316
Yeah paying $4 when we already have GCC that is free software. That definitely is cool. Can't argue with that.
>>54272720
i have read on some places that it does make rooting a bit more complicated, personally though i went ahead and updated to 6.0, never did see much use in rooting considering I use it just as a phone most of the time
>>54280316
You can buy an entire game on Steam (i know, botnet, but im just using the price) for $5, what makes them think a C compiler is worth $4 on a phone? Why the fuck do you need it on a phone anyways?
>>54280339
We don't have this shit on Android
Man it's a few bucks, I'm not poor enough to actually care about Min-Maxing a few dollars and stretching them out, ffs.
>>54280360
You can get Terraria for Android for like $7 ithink too
>>54280326
for that price I don't think there will be many phones with a bunch of band frequencies. maybe a Moto G3, Blu Life One XL, Lenovo K3/Note.
>>54280374
>it's a few bucks, I'm not poor enough
Why do you faggots always imply that the other person is poor, and isn't buying apps because of that reason? Why is this always your only argument?
>>54280407
>Why do you faggots always imply that the other person is poor, and isn't buying apps because of that reason?
I didn't imply you were poor. I simply said that *I* am not poor enough to care about spending a few bucks on something (perhaps) entirely useless. -- Besides it's some money I can only spend on apps anyways, it's not like I can convert it into cash.
>Why is this always your only argument?
I'm not arguing with you, I'm not having a debate. I'm just (originally) getting some cool ideas for paid apps on android and then disagreeing with you. I'm not insulting you or suggesting you should or shouldn't buy apps, only my own opinion on it.
>>54280388
>Moto G3
im trying to veer away from bigass screens and all that shit when it comes to my phone.
ill probably keep my smart phone at home, but for edc, i wanna be abe to do like just email and a browser, thats it.
>>54280374
Okay let's do the math: let's say you pay $5 for each app.
1. Launcher
2. Music Player
3. File Manager
4. Game emulator
5. Useless C compiler because "I'm not poor enough" yet you don't have a laptop to do your work on
That's $25 for "apps" that, on a full desktop environment on a proper PC, with infinitely more functionality, would be free AND open source. I know you didn't spend the money technically because you were given a prepaid card, but I am simply giving a logical explanation as to why I do not pay for apps. They are extremely limited, 1-2 function programs (poor at it). Yeah, sure, if nobody paid for it, the app would disappear, but it would be quickly replaced by someone who doesn't try to jew people out of their money for some app that just loads shortcuts from the home screen.
>>54270679
It will at least be better than the current generation of nexus phones

>he thinks 4chan isn't social media

>5. Useless C compiler because "I'm not poor enough" yet you don't have a laptop to do your work on
Just for fucking fun, dude.
I have a thinkpad and a desktop with Arch Gnu/Linux that I use a lot.
Jesus man. You're getting a little too autistic. All I wanted to know what was "What are some cool paid apps for Android?" - THAT'S ALL. You don't need to start explaining to me why Richard M. Stallman believes that Android doesn't respect your freedoms and the injustices and economics of FoSS software on Gnu/Linux as opposed to Android and all this shit.
I don't wish to have a debate with you about whether paid software is a good or bad thing.
>>54280542
>just for fucking fun
Might as well just SSH into your Arch install and compile that way then, since you just wasted $5 to do the same shit except on a different screen.
>explaining why Richard
No, no, no, no, no. I'm not even going to argue with that statement because you are completely ignoring my point simply because I am using terms that Stallman uses. Instead, I will give you my point in 1st grade terms.
We should not encourage paid apps. Ever. End of story. Donations? Sure. But paywalling your app? No. Absolutely no reason to.
Now, full, feature-rich desktop software? I don't personally believe it should be paid, but if you want to make money from your actual software that serves a legitimate purpose, then go ahead.
An "app" is just that, an app. It is not worth any money at all, for it is a single function program. A music player app? Plays music. Launcher? Shortcuts in a display. The time spent on a desktop program is infinitely more than this "software", yet the dev feels entitled enough to charge $3-5 for it. Why is that? Why does this dev think his/her app is so special that is worth money, and if you don't want to pay for such a basic piece of software, you can't have it, and they won't share how they made it?
There. You can choose to ignore my entire point and call me a freetard because I said the words "software", and "share", though. It's up to you.
>>54280695
>You can choose to ignore my entire point and call me a freetard because I said the words "software", and "share", though. It's up to you.
I'm not calling you anything other than autistic and going too far over a harmless, innocent question. You could have just said "Get x,y, and z! They're pretty cool apps!" like the other posters.
Free software, I get it man, yada yada. I use F-droid for the majority of my apps on my phone, my Laptop and Desktop doesn't run any proprietary software other than Nvidia driver.
>The time spent on a desktop program is infinitely more than this "software", yet the dev feels entitled enough to charge $3-5 for it. Why is that?
If what the dev needs is $5 from 15,000 people in order to keep working on the software and making it great to use, then so be it. I don't mind that if he keeps rolling out updates and making it good. -- Would I like to use be able to use FoSS software only approved by the FSF? Sure I would like to. But most of the alternatives, especially on Android are not very good.
>>54280761
yep, see, there you go again, claiming that I am preaching FOSS OR BUST, instead of simply reading, just like I expected you to.
>>54280777

Hey /spg/ I have a stock 6.0.1 Nexus 6P and I keep getting a message that says "unfortunately the system UI has stopped". Then my phone locks itself and I have to put my pin in. It's not a huge issue but I don't wanna have spent $500 for a messed up phone. I've factory reset, wiped the cache partition, neither worked. I put my phone in safe mode and it hasn't shown up yet. Question is what is it? How do I stop it? Should I just return it?
I just got a Note5 and noticed the phone is full of apps that i dont want and cant delete. Is it worth removing samsung's version of android to put a fresh copy of vanilla android on it? Is that even possible?
Will the US variants of the S7 ever get root?
Does it matter the watts of a car charger? Does it mean the left will just charge my shit faster?

Purchase an Apple iPhone 6S instead.
So I broke my phone today, had this shit for three years so I'm long overdue for an upgrade.
I've got ~500$ to spend but I'm looking for something within 300-400$ range. I'm on T-Mobile's 6gb LTE plan for 75$ a month in America. I'm looking for something with the same screen size and something hardy that can withstand a few drops.
Also, no apple products
The phone I broke is an Alcatel one touch fierce 2 fwiw
>>54285541
What size you want?
>>54285555
5 inch screen at the minimum, something that will fit in my pocket with ease
>>54285541
Moto X Play/Pure Edition, Galaxy S5, Moto G 3rd gen 2gb/16gb version ($220) LG G4, Asus Zenfone 2

>>54285738
das it mane, its touchjizz though. Find a good deal.
>>54285683
AT&T suck balls. Just get t-mobile and a redmi note 3 pro. Or better yet, get a ting sim card and get ringplus.
>>54281109
Unstable. Using nightly builds
>>54285953
that 4000/4000/4000 deal tonight was a great offer. too bad I signed up on 3200.
>they use mb instead of GB for data allowance
I want an LG G5 seems like it would be a good fit for me.
I don't want to pay the RRP however. sub £400 (RPP £530)
How long until i see the crazy retail drop that affects all LG phones
>>54286238
I think close to end of Q2, so they can get a market grab at the devices and count the earnings for the half year mark
I fucking hate Apple right now.
My iPhone 5c keeps rebooting and sometimes won't even turn on (stuck on the Apple logo screen of death and/or recovery mode). I already restored it and all but the problem keeps getting worse. There are PINK vertical lines showing up just before the iPhone turns off. Heard it could be the battery fucking up or something.
I'm going to an Apple Store today but my warranty has expired a long time ago so I'm probably out of luck.
Replacing a battery of an iPhone 5c myself sounds like a pain. What should I do now?
>>54286285
wow that sucks, the 5c just went on sale for like $130 too
>>54270827
Im on an att mvno and I have 4g
what do i do ? the screen has red lines across it that disappears for some apps, appears for others.
Should I do a reset or something?
Is it a software problem?
Gearbest offered a 25 dollar partial refund or a free repair offer. What should I take?
>>54286376
what miui version?
This has been going on for a few months now; since December.
I am convinced that this is a software issue and not hardware and have no idea how to solve this.
I just updated my LG G3 D851 to Marshmallow that was released Wednesday and the issue still persists.
Any ideas?
Also, here is a YouTube video that is pretty much similar, if not identical to my plight.

So my hand-me-down Samsung Galaxy 3 has finally shat the bed. My brother had a third-party battery installed and it wont take a charge from three different chargers.
Just bought two of these http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Motorola-Moto-G-2015_id9513 for ~$220
since both me and my mom needed a new one and it's her birthday.
Anyone have any experience with them? The site gave them good reviews as one of the best mid range phones.
Do I buy the OP2 for $400 USD?
>Has great specs
>64GB version so all good
Convince me if a better phone exists at this price range and where I could buy it cause damn is this thing annoying to get
If any anons have owned one tell me if it was worth it or not

>>54273753
just curious, why did you upgrade from the 5? the 5x has the same amount of ram, and not a significantly more powerful processor. was it because of the fingerprint sensor, or the camera? also that's a fugly case.
>>54287957
Note 4 has literally no viable alternative whatsoever
>>54287667
Just get an older flagship like the note 3 and rom it desu

>>54289231
Bait?
>>54289182
The 808 is fine, though it's a small jump from the previous chips and not powerful enough to be flagship tier. 810 is shit and overheats.

Actually, it doesn't. That's why we're really surprised here at /g/.

HTC 10 SCREEN BREAKS ON FIRST DROP, AND NOT EVEN FROM A HIGH DROP

Reason I had to get a 5x is because my Nexus 5 broke and my refurbishing wait was min. 2 months. I wanted a new phone anyways so the 5x was the cheapest option I had.
It's by no means a bad phone, in ways it exceeds the 5 by a lot, but as mentioned there are a few gripes that make the money i paid unjustified
>>54286238
Went into an EE store yesterday and they told me it was £410 off-contract
>>54290142
That's 10/10 bait I'll bite. The "bloat" aka sense never lagged its the best android branding you can't get. Although they reduced it even more, no double apps anymore. I don't know where you got the worse than s2 camera part from, it seems to be pretty good, finally a decent camera from HTC that handles low light better than Samsung. They claim to have still good speakers but yeah the BoomSound is now only enhancing headphones. From what we got in the past the assumption that the speakers are still better or just as good as the competition is plausible.
I like the design, but that's of course only my opinion. I think the other smartphone flagships currently available look far worse. The only competition in aesthetics, the s7 has glass on the back and that's a deal breaker for me bc it's slippery and another glass that can break. Besides that the silver Samsung logo is shining bright. The nexus series' backcover is fucking ugly.

Opo here and can confirm every kernel I flashed has full control over the clock speeds and voltages.
If you flash universal kernel manager over virtually any kernel (idk about stock kernels, never tried) you can download any kernel tweaking app like synapse and you will have at least some control over it.
I'm not very familiar with the technology, would someone tell me if there's a definitive pick here? I'd be using the original USB-C Cable from LG.

Hey /g/, off-boarder here looking for a bit of guidance. Need a new phone and haven't really been following the latest tech news lately so I need to get to know my options as far as the best android phones of the day go.
>If requesting purchasing advice, please provide the carrier you will be using and what country you live in, your budget, and what features are important to you (screen size, etc)
Dunno if this is really relevant info but I'm on Sonera in Finland, budget isn't really an issue in and of itself but my priority is value. Feature-wise I'd prioritize battery life, storage space for apps, performance and screen size pretty much in that order, but on the flipside I'd like something that isn't super bulky. Any tips? What's good these days?

S7 or HTC 10 if you don't like touchjizz and/or the glass back.
>>54293669
My nexus 5 shattered too when I dropped it on cement
>>54271993
I have a note 4 and I use Nova Launcher. You could also try Cyanogenmod too
>>54278240
Nah. Just install Nova Launcher, it's not difficult
>>54293678
Is S7 really worth it? The price is pretty steep. What exactly sets it apart from cheaper models?
>>54293669
This is like a fanboy comment on a phone review site
best smartphone with microSD and removable battery?
>>54293678
>>54293956
Also what's "touchjizz"?
I can get an Xperia Z3+ for 285 bucks. Is it worth it?
>>54293978
Nexus 6p
>>54270513
My algorithms and data structures lecturer's got one. Neat little projector.
>>54293956
It's touchwiz the 'branding' from Samsung. It's bloat and kinda sluggish. For most anons it's a reason to root and install a custom rom on it. Some use nova launcher as a work around but it doesn't remove it completely. HTC delivers sense that got more debloated and is near stock android now. If it's worth depends on you. If you intend to use it more than two years I would say yes. I'll get the 10 that's even a bit more expensive. Both have a mSD slot but no removable battery. But the m7 still gives me 4 hours screen on time after three years and about 9 hours standby.
>>54294022
It doesn't have both.
>>54294022
>asks for removable battery
>suggests a nexus 6p
Nice bait m8, 8/8 im almost irate.
>>54294005
Yes.
Im a complete grandpa in terms of cellphones, right now Im using a Huawei Ascend G510 but the battery is useless after 3 to 5 hours of using it its almost empty. What would you recomend me to get? I mainly use my phone to listen to music, browse vietnamese forums and whatsapp. I dont care about brands as long as the phone has a decent battery and its not too big.
>>54294159
>I'll get the 10 that's even a bit more expensive
Looking at prices here, HTC 10 is the same as S7, and S7 edge is another 100 on top of that.
I plan to use it for as long as I can, I've had my current HTC One S for four years or so and I'm only giving up on it because the power button broke and the only way to start or unlock it now is with a paper clip. Basically I'm not against spending big as long as I don't have to do it often.
Nexus 6p got mentioned just now, been looking at that too and it sounds pretty good, any particular reason you didn't recommend it? It's significantly cheaper than the Huawei and HTC options and I like the promise of OS support.
>>54294308
I'm not a fan of Huawei and I think the black bar on the back looks ... shit. It doesn't have expandable storage and that's a no go for me. I miss it badly using the m7. And a new nexus from HTC is coming out soon and the 6p is not worth the money in Europe I didn't had it in mind.
>>54270679
>3 weeks until the next Nexus is revealed
[Citation needed]
>>54294181
How is it compared to the other Z models?
>>54294308
You can't go wrong with HTC or Samsung. Personally for me, the s7 seems more polished and the waterproofing is an important feature. But if you are a big audiophile, the HTC 10 ia suppose to come with a better DAC (as well as much better speakers). Just depends on what you want.
Moto X Style or Lg G4?
Also looking for something with
>fast charging tech
>a battery large enough to withstand one day of normal use
>micro SD expansion slot
>a preferably metallic body
>a camera on par with the LG G2 I currently own
