Im having decision anxiety, Should I cancel my Chuwi Hi8 Pro order (I got for 79.99$) and get a Teclast X98 Pro instead?
The issues on Chuwi Hi8 Pro and Teclast X98 first batch seems to be resolved so its nothing about that.
Its just that I already have a 5.5" Xiaomeme redmeme note 3 pro and im wondering if a 8" tablet is a good buy since its almost like the same size, only a little bigger.
Wouldnt a 9.7" tablet fit me better? Im gonna use it to watch manga/animu/twitch, maybe would be better if the teclast was 16:10 like the Chuwi but its not its 4:3 and it dosent seem like there is anything close to the X98 Pro but 16:10.
First for chink shit virgin, but that kingdian ssd is really tempting.

Did the guy with the RayBans ordered through WhatsApp return, missed a few threads.
Also, anyone else having the 'missing calls while in standby mode' bug on their RN3Pro?
>>54424202
He is Xiaomi's rabbit mascot, they recently removed the star on his hat and in some cases replaced it with their MI logo.
Chink Shit Gen has just co-opted the character as a general mascot.

OK thanks bud, was removing the star political or just branding?
>>54424293
Bagel Brand Watch on Aliexpress. Google Bagel Milgauss that one is the best. Hmm, not worth buying. Price doubled or tripled compared to a few years ago.
>>54424339
Probably a bit of both, can't have a company mascot wearing that sorta stuff when you're trying to have a global appeal.
>>54424307
How can one mascot be so goddamn cute?
>>54424412
It's the communist star.

your unlock has been approved, you need to flash a fastboot DEVELOPER ROM first to be able to unlock the phone with the Xiaome unlock tool.
Follow how this Pajeet does it first:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzNTxRVF0pI&feature=youtu.be
then afterwards when you have the China developer rom installed do this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFCig10fW9E
and your phone is unlock, then you can flash TWRP and any rom you want.

Get a Nexus Player. Don't buy those shitty boxes made for people to hawk "fully loaded" kodi installations to clueless idiots. I bought a mxq pro before and it was a huge mistake.
>>54424678
i bought a m8s from gaybeast
works perfectly as a cheapass kodi/plex box
>>54424741
How much did you pay for it? I paid $41 for my nexus player off ebay. Also what do you usually watch in Kodi? On a shitty box live streaming seems much worse than nexus player/fire stick etc
>>54424757
i paid like 30 bucks i think?
installed some sport channels and hooked it up to my plex server and gave it to my parents
>>54424836
I'm going to end up giving my mxq pro to my sister because it's not being used. The main problem is poor support for the codecs on the boxes, they're really pissy. If you go to the Kodi forums you can find tons of complaints. Even though for the most part everything should just work through mediacodec I found the performance to be different when you tried to enable that vs the amlogic shit. Trying to watch 720p 60fps sports streams was not a fun experience. As you'd expect trying to decode it with the cpu instead was a mess, but weirdly if I try to use the cpu to play it back my mom's fire stick it plays the 60fps stuff just fine. It looks like frames are being dropped or something but it's still at least watchable and not choppy.
You guys might as well just buy a rasp pi at that price point
>>54424491
OP does along with OozutsuCannon
Best cheap chinese phone with (atleast) these specs?
>4 cores
>2GB of RAM
>16GB of internal memory
>1280x720 screen
>>54424941
I own one of those too. It's much more stable for streaming than any android device but somehow the video quality seems off? Also trying to have kodi and emulators on the same install is a pain in the ass. I tried setting up bluetooth for emulators and failed miserably.
>>54424975
Xiaomi Redmi 3 is quite good, there's a also a pro version with 3gb of RAM.
>>54424991
Quite good, but I was thinking about something around $100, preferably less
>>54424975
Vernee Thor is about $100 I think
I got those bluetooth ear buds:
http://www.gearbest.com/earphones/pp_117192.html
They work great in the shower. The range is more than OK, so you can leave your phone a bit further away from your shower. The sound doesn't cut at all when at a reasonable distance. Oh and it also has a good microphone for voice calls.
I definitely recommend them.
>>54425134
>Vernee Thor
Are there any decent roms for this? If I buy one what kind of support am I looking at?
Hey /csg/, as you may or may not know Xiaomi is now selling an 'International Version' of the Redmi 3 Pro
(http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Original-Xiaomi-Redmi-3-Pro-Prime-International-Version-3GB-RAM-4100mAh-Fingerprint-Snapdragon-616-Mobile-Phone/311331_32658817183.html
It's only a few dollars more however I can't seem to find what makes it truly 'international'.
Do you guys think this is just the same phone with the global ROM pre-flashed? Screenshots look bloatware/adware free, but that might just be for screenshots..
Cheers.
>>54424453
I don't think germans hate gommies that much
>>54424610
In the shower? Wow I didn't even know that was possible. Are they water resistant?
>>54425311
Does it support more bands?
>>54425294
How's the sound?
>>54425304
it runs stock android out of the box, IIRC. I believe vernee is also planning on releasing the kernel so people can slap whatever rom they make on it, but I'm sure. It only just came out.
>>54425338
Not sure, that would be really good if it did though.
How do I know which controllers are worth buying? For use with a pc, don't need anything more than what you would have on a ds3.
>>54425434
http://www.ebay.com/itm/121853837101
I use this one on Android to play emulators, it's just slightly worse than a fake DS3 controller. I don't know how to use bt controllers on windows though
>>54425340
Regular earbud-tier, no amazing as a good pair of headphones. They can get fairly loud.
I never bought a very good pair of earbuds to compare, just normal ones.
>>54425328

Water is no match for Democracy
My kz-memes are starting to fail (around the connector) after little more than 1 month of regular use. My pistons 3 died in approximately the same time. Is there a sturdier brand of chinese earphones? I don't think I'm mishandling them, my fallback panasonic have been working great for >2 years.
>>54425328
Yeah, but I would dunk them in water or go swimming with them, but it's fine for the shower, heavy rain and heavy sweat. Keep them in your ear so water doesn't get inside the speaker. You can just blow in them to get back sound if water gets there.
>>54425584
Where'd you get those Piston 3s?
>>54425626
They were legit, banggoiod I think. The left earphone got dimmer and dimmer until it wasn't playing anything anymore.
>>54425584
Interesting, the ATE looked like they could survive a nuclear blast.
>>54425664
It's almost always the cable that fails in headphones.

>>54425626
>>54425655

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OapEypb8dKQ guy here, I've had mine for over 2 months now and both the pistons and ate's are in tip-top shape.
>tfw fedex smartpost
I was hyped because I thought I was gonna get my hybrids today, but it turns out the delivery date in tracking is just the date it gets sent to your post office
>>54425695
When I used to live in the Philippines when this would happen I'd buy super cheap headphones that had a similar cable then take it into an electronics repair shop. They'd replace it for like 100 pesos which is like $2.
Shame how here in the US we just treat everything as disposable. If you asked someone to fix something like that I think they would look at you like you are stupid.
>>54425477
Install this http://emulation-general.wikia.com/wiki/SCP_Driver_Package
It works both with usb and with BT dongles.
Don't use MotioninJoy, it's abandoned adware.
>>54425763
Well, it's easy enough to fix with a soldering iron (or even some superglue), but it's probably not worth it with the cheap stuff.
>>54424412
He just is.
>>54425799
there's some guides about making a new cable from ethernet cable, can't find the right one tho. It's supposed to be more durable
IPHONE ANON HERE
THEY UPDATED MY TRACKING INFORMATION
NOW I GET THIS MESSAGE
"It has been served" in Chinese.
But I think it's fake becaause nobody signed fori t, therefore since it's a chink courier company I think they have an arrangement where seller asks them to declare delivered and they do it.
>>54424612
uuuu
>>54425845
have you tried running the code at your local post's website ? some of my chink shits tracking nos work here too

What?
>>54425860
jsut did that, it said delivered to my local delivery office last week
>>54425945
you can speak to them, but i think the post systems are prone to problems
>>54425837
Just make a hole and solder this in instead http://www.ebay.com/itm/10PCS-1-8-3-5mm-stereo-socket-jack-female-connector-panel-mount-Solder-Lot-/141837724251?hash=item21062fea5b:g:zcIAAOSw~bFWPdpj
(took a easy one to solder with)
>>54425311
what makes it international is that it ships with the global rom, but the bands are still the same.
Do not fall for the meme.
>>54425745
Well that's great for you, but mine didn't. Obviously not all are going to last the same amount of time. I was just wondering if there's a specific model that is recognized for being especially sturdy.
>>54425889
"iphone" sounds stupid as fuck as well, welcome to 21st century marketing
>>54426453
Same anon here, supposedly this one supports the band B4 and others

Sadly, they don't ship to Argentina.
On the good side, my sharks are in customs, they've arrived yesterday. I hope they don't make me go and fetch'em. 2 weeks since I ordered them, pretty fast considering the seller used Singpost.
Why havent you ordered your Xiaomi Luggage Suitcase yet anon?
>>54425845
You got the phone right?
>>54426685
I'd rather get that powerstrip box.
>>54425664
I use my ATE for running every day, and I never had any problems.
in case anyone cares:
Mid-february i ordered a fake jacket from Ali. it was sent after 5 days and i havent received it to this day. apparently he did actually send a package to Germany, but according to the local post office to a completely different adress with a different name. The woman there told me that this happens quite a lot with clothing.
Now I don't even get my money back from Ali for some reason (I used my wifes account for that and I can't see the dispute messages or find the seller, he deleted every article of his shop).
I then created my own account and ordered 20 items of which i received 18 so far, all of them being better than expected.
>>54426965
Why did she not send it to you then?
>>54427001
Well apparently that woman who received the package is working together with the chinks.
Maybe it was just a mistake of the seller and the woman was happy to get a new jacket, but then explain why the seller deleted all his items and already got similar feedback.
>>54427001
with "The woman there" I meant the woman working at the post office.
somebody recommend a waterproof bluetooth speaker for the shower now

So are transfer speeds for sharks any good or just meme?
>>54428344
Did you test it again after that?
>>54425889
the better question is, why do chinks and koreans make giant 5+ inch phones when they're all 5 feet tall
>>54428394
When everyone is manlet, nobody scared by size of phone.
Anyone have experience buying form jd.com ?
Is it normal for the item to not get shipped out for weeks?

Buying a phone is like buying a tablet and buying a tablet is like buying a TV.

I don't know whether its the fact that its a 32gb one or the fact that my cardreader isn't the best, I'm using this one: www.aliexpress.com/item/reader/32523738339.html

Any suggestions for a chink wifi usb thingy?

>>54429158
Just buy a sodding Kindle m8. They are like £40 and you can just stick your own pirated shit on there no problem.

I think Xiaomi makes one for $7-$10. It only has wireless N compatibility if I recall correctly.

Is the octacore tv box needed for emulation? I'm selling my firestick
>>54429590
relatively easy, because it's popular and a lot of people buyit cheap to root. Amazon likes to chase ahead and lock shit out though, so be careful.
No onboard encryption unless you flash something else on.
Battery life is 4-6 hours or so doing stuff on it IIRC, which feels really weak to me but I'm spoiled having fallen for hte Blackberry Playbook meme, which because there's no apps for it runs for like 4 days before powering out.
>>54423929
So CSG! Does anyone have any recommendations for a cheap <50$ android box/tv player? I need something to plug into a tv via HDMI to watch youtube videos, anime, etc.
Also, does anyone on /csg/ have any experience with any of the commonly recommended phones on t-mobile?
>>54429795
pretty sure its just a splash page on startup with current book sales
its kinda shitty but its not the end of the world

Don't they? it's the first time I've ordered from gearbest, so I wouldn't know. I don't recall any of my aliexpress things getting shipped out on a saturday, though.
I have 2 vrs a cardboard and a bobo vr, the cardboard is better for vr, but only for whacking off
240 gbb for $55 but and one day shipping. Am I ready for garbage speeds?
Anybody know of a 7-8" 4:3 tablet? I'm thinking about the texclast x89 but I can't find any clean roms for it.
Any advice? Here's the teclast I was looking at: http://www.gearbest.com/tablet-pcs/pp_349613.html

Hell ya senpai
Anybody have any problems with sharks randomly unmounting?
I just got a 128GB one for my Redmi Note 3 and it keeps unmounting and won't remount until I take it out and put it in again. The 32GB Samsung card I had before never did anything like this.
The card seems fine, I formatted it on my PC before putting it into my phone.
>>54432034
It officialy support up to 32GB SD card. which way is it formatted?
What kind of performance do these gentle typhoon fans have?
Are they just good fans with a really low price?
>>54432170
fat32. I can't find any official specs about the capacity of SD cards it supports on their site, but GSMarena claims it can go upto 128GB.
Where'd you get the 32GB figure from?
fell for it

>Are there any decent roms for this? If I buy one what kind of support am I looking at?
No support, I can warrant you that.
Don't get a no name phone if you want support.
>>54432335
Cheers, I'll try reforming it on the phone while its still got it mounted and see if that helps.
>>54425845
It means it has been shipped to your country, fucking moran!
>>54432262
Main reason for 32gb limit is that Microsoft is forcing vendors to use jew tier exFat on SDXC cards.

Nigger you get trolled to fucking easily.
>>54432458

That's not support.
Waiting on Kingdian SSD. I'm hoping the meme is real.
>>54432479
There's also MIUI support with Vernee's involvement as well as their own OS planned.
>>54432501
Sure, sure, keep believing their lies.
Like how the Elephone P6000 Pro got the Marshallow update they promised 7 months ago.
You never trust promises from no name brands.
>>54432501
>their own OS planned
nigga they could have they own manned mars mission planned, doesn't mean it's going to happen
>>54432540
This. Ulefone has promised to update the Power to MM since Jan and there's still nothing. don't buy no name chink phones if you like updates.
>>54432313
I heard that these are pretty good.
Can anyone confirm, because I might buy myself a pair
No one replied in my thread yesterday but I was told to post here.
Any reason to avoid a sub 200 aud chinkphone?
The savings will be huge, and performance will be better than anything I can get for $400 or less.
Also is oukitel a decent brand? I've checked their YouTube and website, they seem pretty real, and their facebook looks legit too. Other than no updates, what's the catch? I'm not too bothered by updates.
Battery life is important to me, and I was looking up other options. Can get redmi 3 for similar price, but only 2GB ram and 720p screen. Redmi note 2 gets abysmal battery life.
Gaybest is recommended for getting a Redmeme 3 note Pro? I want to get point from reviews
Spare for about 10 minutes of charging while transferring anime, this has been my SoT after a full charge so far.
Screen is at half brightness with adaptive brightness on, used it for listening to music, reading PDFs, messaging and taking pictures of stuff and watching anime so far. Really fucking happy with my purchase; going to make a short video review sometime later this week.

Correction: don't buy from unknown chink brands if you want updates.
That's why you buy Xiaomi
>>54432695
>a fucking 5x is $647
man fuck this country, can't wait for my xiaomeme
>>54432739
I know. That's why I'm looking at a Chinese one.
I just want a big battery, Good screen, and good enough SoC. Battery life is very important to me.
I don't even care about updates, Just want something to last at least a year.
>>54432708
If its points from reviews you're after then yeah. If the phone is actually in stock it'll get sent the next day, if its not in stock they can take their sweet ass time (usually because of them waiting on a supplier.)
>>54432801
As I mentioned in >>54432695, I would prefer a 1080p screen and 3GB ram, without spending much over 200aud.
>>54432795
Thx
I've had my redmi note 3 since yesterday now, and I'd like to discuss it.
I wanted to flash global rom without unlocking the bootloader without permission, which I found was impossible. SO that's a thing.
The phone is quite large, but I've been using an iphone 4s, so yeah.
My phone for some reason only transferred files at a rate of 0.1mb/s, which was a problem, though luckily the inbuilt ftp was usable enough.
It took a while for me to figure out how to install google play store, but if you're not a retard it shouldn't take long.
(installed google play store through open gApps).
The phone decides to rather than use my wifi, use my computers internet when plugged in, which is fairly strange.
It uses my 32gb samsung evo just fine, I want to try and see whether or not it works with a 128gb shark card, but I'm broke rn.
The screen is amazing for the price, but the lowest darkness makes it essentialy pitch black.
The fingerprint reader is a bit finiky but it's fine.
I didn't like the ui too much so I installed nova launcher, the phoen is preforming fine.
The only problem I've had is using snapchat where it would crash when sending a picture - might be a software problem.
The phone is quite heavy, but it feels premium so it's nice.
The cameras arn't the best for video, but for still images they're fairly good.
It does try to push chink apps at you, but you can turn off notiffs for chink apps.
>>54432824
Then buy it..?
>>54432846
My 3g/4g isn't the best in doors with the phone, but I've only tested it with 1 sim.
The phone is good, but there's risks, once I get the global rom, I should be able to remove all of the chink.
The redmi note 3 is fucking fantastic for the price// performance, I've not had a single issue so far.
If you'd like me to do anything, ask me and I will try to pull it off.
>>54432857
200 aud is more than I've spent on a purchase from china, this is my first chinkphone.
I'm worried about what I'll get and how well it'll work, and how long it'll last.
>>54432846
Most of those issues sounds like the malware'd MiUi version your'e currently running.
Flash the debloated Xiaomi.eu ROM
http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-5-5.31436/
And I think most of your issues will go away.
>>54432931
No one has this phone to help you, your'e gonna have to do the research yourself. look at some reviews and decide if it's a risk worth taking.

>>54432313
Fell for it too, mostly because the monitors look cool. Already have a pair of piston3s.
>>54433017
The phone isn't even out yet, but I was hoping someone might have experience with the brand. It's on preorder/presale, i don't trust any YouTube video of it yet because it's most likely done by oukitel themselves.
Anyone bought a k4000/pro, 6000, or 10000 here?
How do chinks make their phones so cheap? The Redmi Note 3 Pro is like a $400-500 phone for half that.

If you still want to flash the global ROM try it via download mode. Here is a step by step tutorial : http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html
Flashed a Global like this today with locked bootloader and it worked. Had a problem with my device not being recognized in download mode, but installing the xiaomi USB drivers fixed that.
Only a moron would get a Oukitel(No name brand) over a fucking Xiaomi a top player in the phone market.
>>54432846
>I wanted to flash global rom without unlocking the bootloader without permission, which I found was impossible. SO that's a thing.
It's not.
You just are too lazy to check the official forum for instructions.
>>54429188
Careful because they burn out very easy. My recommendation is that you buy a bigger one, the smaller it is the hotter it is.
>>54432894
Do the death roll, film it and upload the WEBM.
>>54432694
They're great! These sound godlike to the apple earpods

Blueway N9000.
The chipset gets hot but doesn't reduce performance unlike other options I tried.

Go for it. Even if it does not work properly you got motors, a lcd screen, a lot of metal parts and screws, a fan, possible some of that red plastic stuff.. You could still build a CNC router out of it if you have a dremel etc., for that price I'd but it if I had the money right now
>>54425311
What's the difference between the SD 616 and 650? Is it just a rebrand?
>>54433265
True, though the track record of no-name chink manufacturers isn't great in this regard.
That said, Android OS updates are usually of the "nice to have" type rather than being particularly essential, since most cracks can usually be papered over with apps. I'd be more concerned about the thing's lifespan, since if you're getting that much phone for that cheap it's extremely likely that corners have been cut somewhere in the manufacturing process.
>>54433789
Wasn't it cheap because it's sponsered by uber or something like that?
>>54433641
>A8

>>54433805
I can't imagine they paid too much to have their app preinstalled.
>>54433784
the 650 is close to the 808 in performance, 616 is just a rebrand from the 615
>>54433789
We need one of those phone smashing youtube pajeets to get their hands on one, then we'll know if that Vernee violence test video is legit.
They do seem quite sure of their product though.
>>54433641
enjoy paying out of the ass for shipping
>>54433845
So the 616 Redmi is inferior to the 650 Redmi?
>>54433837
who knows, maybe uber really wants to break through in china.
I ordered my thor on friday. I'm skeptical if it's going to turn out as a good phone, but I'm cautiously optimistic. If it does fail as a phone, I'll just use it to replace my vita as my shitter/bed media device.
>>54433862
a lot
>>54433845
616 is a 615 without the heating/throttling issue,
>>54433862
Yes, the 650 is way faster.
