HOLY SHIT FUCKING NEXUS OR ONE PLUS 3 COME OUT ALREADY
>>54560856
Fuck was about to create thread and post same useful links.
From the last thread:
Looking for a place to purchase a GT-i9192I. It's not available from the usual places.
>>54560871
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>tfw you had a nightmare about destroying your phone
>>54560885
S4 Mini? for what purpose?
http://www.asavings.com/samsung-galaxy-s4-mini-gt-i9192-gsm-unlocked-dual-sim-black.html
http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/331818123068
>>54560894
>tfw pleasant dreams about chinkphones every night
I want the oukitel k6k premium to come out now not in a half ducking year.
>>54560896
Those are the ordinary GT-i9192. I'm looking for the GT-i9192i.
The difference is the former is dual-core, while the latter is quad-core.
>>54560966
>I want the oukitel k6k premium to come out now not in a half ducking year.
There's a bunch of phones that are supposed to come out with the X20 SoC and word is that Mediatek had to delay it because it overheats, so all the phones are pushed back.
Still debating between getting the S7 Edge and the HTC 10. My Current phone the Galaxy Note 3 is starting to fall apart and lag like hell.
HTC 10 pros:
>less bloat
>better DAC/AMP
S7Edge pros:
>better battery life
>better camera
>>54560993
Yeah but why do you want that old phone anyway? for ~140 you have better options.
>>54560966
wtf network are you using it on?
>>54561020
I have a custom Android OS that allows me to interact with my car headset that doesn't work with Lolipop or later. I also dislike the UI of Lolipop+ and unfriendly features of many other later Samsung phones.
The GT-i9192i isn't that old, it came out in the last few months of 2014, but I've been searching since January and it's been sold out everywhere.
Is the iPhone 5s still worth it? I need a burner phone for a couple months and I want to try iOS. Is around $300 good for it?
>Still no new Nexus leaks
>Google I/O is wednesday
>>54561019
I would add waterproof and wireless charging to the s7 pros and warranty covering open boot loader to the 10. Imo the aluminium unibody is another pro of the 10 and the glass back a flaw of the s7 bc of slippiness and another glass that can break but that're opinions.
>>54561057
Actually it will work completely fine in Europe, but I already saw that 4g and 3g for America are a problem.
>>54561019
S7E. waterproof, lighter, SD card etc.
is the xperia m4 aqua any good? only thing I can find within my price range, $250-$300. Will mostly use it for regular phone stuff, and social media, photos, and casual web stuff.
>>54561079
>I have a custom Android OS that allows me to interact with my car headset
Can you elaborate? in what ways?
Doea the Samsung Galaxy s5 have an SD card slot?
>>54561172
>within my price range, $250-$300
RN3P.
>>54561144
there needs to be flags in the spg threads because all of this talk about chinkphones is pointless if they don't even work as phones
if you're in germany, great, but anons shouldn't suggest phones to other anons without knowing what country/carrier they're using, ESPECIALLY chinkphones
>>54561197
Yes. please google those retarded questions.
>>54561217
That's why
>frequency checker
http://willmyphonework.net
is in the OP.
S7 Edge owners: show me your regulatory info page. I need to see if any carrier or unlocked model had the Japanese certification, so I can import.
Settings > About device > Regulatory Information
Its be a really big help! Its expensive as fuck over here, so if I could save a few hundred bucks (and avoid a contract) that would be awesome.
>>54560856
Is there any way I can decrypt my N6? I've heard that it drastically increases performance. What are the pros and cons of an encrypted and decrypted phone?
Any cons for the S5 besides samsungs usual bloatware?
I only ever owned one smartphone, and I want something nice without going overboard on the price.
Also, removable battery/MicroSD support is nice
>>54561172
Avoid M4 Aqua like plague.
>>54561314
Why the fuck would you buy a two year old phone?
>>54561314
>2GB RAM
>Snapdragon 800
It's getting old
>>54561184
I can manually toggle the backup camera and record what it sees to the phone's SD card, and make use of the car antenna as a more powerful receiver for 4G LTE.
This is all controlled from the phone because the car headseat is a black box.
>>54561357
Because all the features on it look nice and I don't use phones for games.
And a resolution on 1920x1080 sounds better than 4k or whatever phones nowadays have
>>54561359
Whats standard for RAM nowadays?
I can't into cellphone processors, so I'm out of the question there
>>54561432
>Whats standard for RAM nowadays?
2GB is now a minimum. 3GB is sweet spot.
>>54561432
The S6 and S7 really amped up the specs creep, while there isn't a lot of difference with the S5 and S4.
But the S6 is a POS when it comes to resource management, and there were regressions in the S5/S6, so in my eyes S4 skipped directly to S7.
>>54561397
Sounds arbitrary.
>>54561452
That shit doesn't matter for Android unless you're running a resource intensive OS like MARSHMALLOW.
Older phones with less shit UI don't need all that memory, except if you try to play games.
calling all ukfags
moving soon, looking for something inexpensive and internationally viable. dual sim is sweet. Moto X? Wileyfox Swift? "chink shit"? Or do I bite the bullet any get something premium with iOS/touchjizz that's gonna work everywhere
>>54561355
>>54561202
thank you.
>>54560849
Its not like i got to choose anyway.
>>54561530
> less shit UI
What is touchjizz
>>54561553
You need to read up on the bands supported by your dual sim and bands by the carriers you are going to telephone on.
There are many stories of retards buying phones but not RTFM and their phone doesn't work on their new carriers. International phones work mostly everywhere, but not literally everywhere. Do your research.
IIRC, Nexus with Google's new roaming service does actually work everywhere. But it's Nexus. Your ass belongs to the botnet if you go that route.
>>54561530
>That shit doesn't matter for Android
Yeah right, just fuck off. Have fun having 1GB of RAM with Touchwizz or any other skin. Not to mention your multitasking is dead below 2GB's of RAM.
>>54561452
My current phone has 1 GB of RAM and it seems fine with me, anything where needed a bunch of RAM actually comes in handy, besides (im guessing) video games?
I've rooted it and changed the lock screen and TouchWiz garbage with Nova and it seems more responsive, and I don't lag in any app I run aswell as when switching between apps.
Firefox is about the only laggy thing I have though
>>54561471
I wouldn't get an S6/7 because they do not support removable batteries and MicroSD.
Is the S4 any good then? Just want a comfy phone for the next 2-3 years and the high end phones nowadays are absolute shit and pricey.
lads
I'm after an iPhone
I already have a Macbook Pro so I can see the added value in having an iPhone.
Do I jump on the iPhone 7 gravy train, or just get it over with and get a 6 or an SE?
>>54561599

I've been on willmyphonework.net and gsmarena as if my life depends on it.
I was looking into Google fi with their deal on a nexus phone, but it's only for Americans.
>>54561623
S4 is still highly modable, so you can overclock it and customize it enough to be comparable to a 2015 phone. If you're willing to put in the effort to research the ROMs it is still a good experience in 2016. Samsung doesn't continue to manufacture the S4 because it sells like shit.
Neither the S6/S7 really justify the price to me, I'm still waiting for that upgrade that is 100% better than the S4.
>>54561623
S7 has an SD slot.
>>54561633
I'm talking globally, not myself exclusively.
>>54561623
>rooted it
>changed the lock screen
>changed TouchWiz garbage
>installed Nova
You did all this just to make your device lag less and yet your basic crap like Firefox struggles to open websites.
>I don't lag in any app I run aswell as when switching between apps
Yeah, it doesn't lag when you switch between Contacts and Messenger. That's completely believable.
Let's not forget that you constantly have to close multiple (if not all) apps in the background to reduce lag. Phone with 1GB *may be* suitable for phones and texts at most.
>>54561726
>Phone with 1GB *may be* suitable for phones and texts at most.
"for calls and texts" meant to say, my mistake.
I'm traveling a lot through europe this summer so need a phone with a great camera, decent battery life (going to bring a 10Ah portable charger with me), and lots of international band support
I was thinking of doing the $199 Nexus 5x deal with google fi since that will cover international roaming for $10 extra and I won't have to fuck with sim cards
Are there better options?
>>54561623
>Firefox
Getting a better browser would help. Firefox has known multitab problems even in the desktop version. Mozilla is too short staffed and too stupid to fix this.
>>54561019
>>better DAC/AMP
What headphones do you have?
Are there camera controls like the camera module of the LG 5 for other smartphones? Perhaps as a case or so.
>>54561804
>>54561699
Then I'll look into the S4, thanks.
Or any cellphones comparable? I only know Samshit phones because they look and feel nice, aswell as the UI isn't absolute shit like huawei or whatever it is that I had to use once.
>>54561703
That's nice to know, but they never solved the removable battery which is one of the better things about cellphones.
>>54561726
Firefox only ever lags for a split second, when I start it up or switch between tabs.
But sure, I guess I don't use my phone much, which is why I'd rather get an old phone rather than a new sparkly crap.
>>54561776
I use Naked Browser for light browsing, firefox for most everything else.
Any browser you recommend?
>>54561840
I used Ghostery on my S4. It's built off a fork of Chrome and the tracker blacklist has a side effect of being a mild ad blocker. You lose out on the Firefox customizability, but it's a good mix of speed, privacy and adblock.
My only gripe is turning off the phone often means you have to reload pages, which is a problem if you're using Wifi only and you move to a deadzone. The phone tries to refresh and you can't read what you downloaded on that page.
>>54561840
>That's nice to know, but they never solved the removable battery which is one of the better things about cellphones.
G5 has them both, and it's still a shitty phone.
>>54561304
>>54561937
I'll look into Ghostery, thanks.
>adblock
Already have Adaway which is lovely as hell with advertisements in anything and everything.
>>54561966
Which is why I asked what I asked in this post >>54561314
I don't know much about phones as I know about Desktops, as I never had a phone before and the one I have now is a bit shitty and is still my first smartphone.
Anyone know a way to bypass wifi authentication portals? Like when you log on to the wifi, it asks you to agree to their TOS, or watch ads, or something.
I've heard that software like Republic Wireless can connect and bypass this. I don't know how that works.
whjat do you guys think of termux?
pic unrelated
>>54562020
When the S5 was new, there was no reason to upgrade to it. It was a uniformly awful "improvement" offering hardware bloat and no real hard upgrade. Now that the phones are closer in price, it's more of a wash, but you're still buying hardware bloat and reduced customizability compared to the S4, especially the pre-Knox S4.
With the S6+, there are actual pros and cons that go along with the price. But each new gen has been less power user friendly. Samsung doesn't make these phones for power users, it makes them for the sheeple who want to upgrade every year.
>>54562020
S7 would last longer than S5, no need for a removable battery. buy an external battery case or a battery bank if it's such an issue.
Or a chinkphone ala Oukitel K6000, Ulefone Power with huge batteries. they're too heavy for my liking.
>>54562086
Thanks.
Also, does the S4 rely on all the Google garbage that is in it? or can I just remove all the bloat?
>>54562103
I'm interested in the phone before the battery, but the battery just has to be removable, having it locked into the cell just feels wrong.
In a year when the battery gets shitty, then I can just switch it out.
Is the Moto G still the best option under $200? I'm in the US on Sprint and I desperately want to upgrade my potato.
My current contract runs out in November, so I've been thinking about my replacing it. I was thinking of the oneplus 3, if specs are good.
My friend was suggesting a s6, but I don't see the point. The op3 should have better specs and no bloatware. Thoughts?
>>54562254
Buying an S4 or S5 at this point in time is retarded no matter how you spin it.
>>54562317
Wait for OP3, it should come out soon with better specs.
So, I never had a smartphone. Should I buy this as my first?
https://www.pcdiga.com/2/20716/Asus-Zenfone-Go-16GB-Preto-ZC500TG-1A139WW
>>54562476
The only correct answer is the iPhone 6S Plus.
>>54562429
The specs haven't been announced, right? Different sources are saying different things
hi /spg/ i dun goofed.
I flashed a buggy as hell marshmallow based rom for redmi note 3 pro and fucked up my IMEI and baseband because of it. Simcard and wi-fi is not working.
how do i fix this? All guides are written by third worlders, fucking impossible to understand.
>>54561019
HTC is also unlocked bootloader. And they have also pushed more updates dealing with the camera.
But the s7 has water proofing and a top display. Does software but matter to you?
>>54562492
lol no thanks
>>54562537
Just flash another rom.
>>54562254
>>Also, does the S4 rely on all the Google garbage that is in it? or can I just remove all the bloat?
Even if you drop in Cyanogenmod, it's difficult to run a lot of apps without the Google framework. Things like GPS get very confused if you rip out too much.
It's safer to just remove the Samsung bloatware. You can remove some Google things, but I would not remove maps even if you don't use it.
>>54561314
Most Samsungs have awful battery life because of how thin they are, touch wiz and the absurd screen res.
Yo what's fucking up my Doze? How do I find out
>android
I still have a moto x from 2013. Amazingly everything still works great and I've been pretty lucky
I don't know if I should upgrad to the HTC 10 or wait to Oct. For when the new Nexus devices are released.
>>54562571
Right now all the google garbage on my phone is taking up nearly 400mb worth of data.
I've not bothered with them because I read before you can brick your phone or the OS or something.
Is there a webpage on what is safe to remove and what not?
>>54562600
How typical, can you recommend another phone?
>>54561804
Why would you want any? The lens will always limit you considerably and if you don't mind carrying extra stuff with you, you may as well buy a nice compact or MILC.
>>54562557
Did you even Read my post? Its mu IMEI and baseband flashed away,its not a rom issue
Anyone still using a Galaxy S3 here? Mine has visible wear, but I still don't think I can warrant an upgrade.
>>54560856
Anyone own a Xperia Z5c or just any Z5 in general? My S5 is slowly turning into shit because of Samsung quality and I'm thinking of getting one of the Z5s, most likely compact but the camera just seemed so bad. Any advice?
>>54562894

>>54562777
i think its cool to have it all in one place, so I was curious
>>54562514
No, only rumors. SD820+6GB RAM is the speculation.
>>54562660
What you should do is make a backup nandroid in whatever custom recover you run, and remove each Google app one by one to confirm that your apps still work without it. If something's screwed up, recover to the backup.
As I said earlier, the IP-based GPS gets totally confused if you remove Maps, so I wouldn't remove Maps under any circumstances unless you know how to consistently spoof your GPS and/or IP and get away with it.
>>54562614
your display is fucked
>>54561762
If that's an option (Fi and that price) id do it. The 5x has had a lot of bug fixes and performance stuff. And it has the same sensor as the 6p which takes detailed shots. It under exposes though. I don't know if RAW is available.
>>54562839
You should probably go to that GSM phone forum and beg for help. I'm not aware of how to repair IMEI on Xiaomi, only Samsung.
I know MTG have ways of changing IMEI, you could Google that but it's not much help.
>>54562852
Yeah, I got one. I don't know what you're asking.
>>54562600
That's compensated by the number of cores Samsung drops in their phones. Quad for a mini and octa+ for a full sized S more or less negates the battery issues.
>>54562957
It's cool, but it really won't make your photography any better, if that's what you are interested in. You can get a used ILC/compact for the same price, but that's of course more things to carry around. That being said, it would still blow my 1020 out of the water all day any day, just due to using larger optics.
>>54561304
Just give it back, Derek
>>54562994
Do you mean the dimness? It's an app (which is not the cause of the Doze messing up)
>>54562317

How many anons in /spg/ have kernel aduitor installed and use it regularly? This implies a very basic knowledge of unlocking, rooting, and installing custom modifications.
It seems to me that an overwhelming majority of the anons here complain about the stock software, >implying it's not possible to return to barebones aosp or cm on like 90% of phones out there (and why the fuck would you buy one that you can't do that, eg locked bootloader, mediatek)

>>54563185
Blue light filter actually.
Flux is meh. Beta root is still shitty.
>>54563294
I've used stock for mine because I need to maintain the MirrorLink compatibility, so I can't help you there except for you to browse XDA and look at what each ROM can do for you.
IIRC, Knox was never installed on the GS3 so you should be fine fooling around with things, just go to samsung-updates and make sure you have a working stock of your baseband and build in case you need to flash new. The S3 is unbelievably power user friendly compared to later phones.
>>54563637
Well you have quite specific demands. there aren't many AMOLED phones other than Samsung, 5.5" screens are much more popular than 5" and stock android is only on Nexus.
>>54563691
Ok ty
>>54563296
I have KernelAduitor and don't really see the point. You cannot overclock your phone beyond what the kernel already allows the hardware to do. Running Aduitor on stock is literally worthless, and if you're running it on a custom the custom almost always has an installed method to allow CPU overclocking.
Perhaps you can fine-tune the specifics of memory management but it would be marginal improvement at best.
>>54563695
I'm on the original moto now and the only thing I wish it had was a 5" screen instead of a 4.7 and external storage.
I'm too attached to AMOLED and the LCD displays I see look dull and 5.5" is too fucking huge

You killed your camera quality by installing CM. The cam firmware is proprietary so they can only use a shitty open sores alternative for the ROM.
Guys I just dropped my Sony Xperia Z3 Compact and the front glass is shattered so it won't work anymore.
I'm thinking about buying one of those cheaper chinese phones that still have pretty good specs. Which one would you recommend? Is the Xiaomi Mi5 good? And would it be worth it to get the pro version be worth it over the regular version? I don't really do a lot, if any, gaming on my phone. I just want it to be fast for web browsing and have an alright camera.

>>54566644
Why do you want a new phone if the one you currently own does everything you need it for?
>>54566714
wp is shit
>>54566741
That may be so, but why spend all that money for something where you just check emails and keep in contact?
Even the NSA thinks you're boring.
>>54561784
Goddammit forgot to check tread.
I have a pair of Sennheiser IE80 and a pair of HD8 that I use with my phone
>>54562541
Apparently not too much if I can stand Touchjizz on my Note 3.
I have a Nexus 6P running on Project Fi, absolutely love it.

Okay then, well how do you all think it fairs as a developer device?

So I recently got an S3 Mini for free and was wondering which ROM I should flash? Would CM11 maybe be better for such low performance phone than 12.1?
my htc m8 died on me yesterday after less than two months and wont turn on at all after charging. Is there any way to fix this ( I can't reset by holding power+volume button either) without sending it to HTC for repairs?
>>54565556
>Grow up

>>54567086
Plug it into PC and check device manager to see if anything appears.

I'm sorry that you're from a dysfunctional family that would rather throw away old tech than asking you if you want it.
What's the best way to go about rooting a Galaxy S3? Using the manual Odin method or using something like Kingo Root?
So I lost my MEID number when I was messing around with custom roms, I managed to restore my IMEI but my MEID is lost.
Is it bad? Should I try to restore it? The phone works fine without it.
Any phone that can compete with the R3P and the mi4 in a similar price bracket?
Considering the former and want to know if I’m missing any better options.
>>54567265
nope not for $160
>>54567135
forgot to mention what happens during that. yesterday connecting it to the pc would just give me a orange led and it wouldn't show up under devices. Right now the orange led is flashing and a battery shows up on the screen.
>>54567400
And does a device appear in windows device manager?
>>54567494
since it's turned off, no. I can't turn it on back yet. Maybe the battery's drained?
>>54567717
Leave it plugged in overnight and see what happens.
>>54567198
I recently rooted my s2 by flashing philz recovery then installing from zip
Flashed cm 12 a few times (gapps wasn't installing properly), now the only issue I have is a crappy battery that needs to be replaced
Does someone here actually owns a oukitel phone?
So my little sister went to a show in San Diego and got her iPhone 6 stolen. She had find my iPhone enabled and it shows the phone is now in Tijuana. I have an old iPhone 4 that I'm thinking about giving her but is there a decent alternative available for cheap?
>>54567876
I've never heard that name
>>54567860

Shit's been abandoned anon, flash TWRP

What are the chances of a new or refreshed Nexus phone at I/O?
>>54561134
>>54564300
Not when a new iPhone SE is $400.
>>54568389
None. Maybe a new Nexus 7 from Huawei though...
>>54568389
There will no doubt be some nexus device coming along with the launch of N. Whether its a phone or not we don't know yet.
>>54567789
fixed it. holding the phone under a bright light allowed me to reboot
>>54568389
Nothing. At most a new tablet or laptop.
Why? Because the devices don't come out until October.
>>54568303
What carrier? Moto G 2015 2gb unlocked model is $199 at Fry's this week
>>54568723
tmobile. ill look into that phone thanks
>>54566606
I moved here out of my own free will from the Netherlands.
>>54568777
Filename for discount, but ofcourse with tax it's still probably $215
>>54568969
And if this is a deal for anyone, unbranded and unlocked S5 16gb G900A
>New life
>I cant use an android phone because security reasons and shit
>They literally put "use iPhone" as a part of your contract
>"Why?"
>"public image reasons"
That's why artist use Apple products, our/their contracts say that now and they literally give us any device we want. Voiding the contract using a samsung phone or another brand means you are getting sued.
![galaxy-s7-edge-feature-focus-7of7[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/mPJdPAM.jpg "galaxy-s7-edge-feature-focus-7of7[1].jpg")
The S7 Edge sure is expensive, but damn if dat screen and battery life isnt tempting over the normal S7. I don't think any custom ROM supports Edge though...
Would now be a right time to buy a Moto X Pure?
I'm worried about:
>customer support in Canada (I'll be buying this phone from the States)
>lasting me at least until the end of 2017
>able to handle social media (snap,ig, etc)
>music/video streaming on wifi - no lag
>battery lasts >3hrs SOT
Other than the future support, the 5x has failed me on all things
TWRP or CWM?
>>54569375
>buying consumer grade lenovo products
No, just no.
>>54569379
Is CWM even still a thing?
>>54569306
it's not image reasons, it's because they signed with Apple for sponsorship. your nigger manager/label are the reasons for that, and Apple makes so much money that they're happy to pay a good (undisclosed) amount for the sponsorship.
>>54569379
I go CWM for whatever phones are still supported by it, and TWRP for everything else.
>>54569491
Lenovo is that bad?
Quick /g/, which phone?
>HTC One M8
>LG G3
>OnePlus X
>Wileyfox Swift
>inb4 not all those are the same as the other
I've just been looking at some cheap-ish (currently) phones is all. Looking for ones with not-shit CM support mainly and an okay camera.
>tfw moto /g/ 2013 user
>good CM support but camera is literal shit
>>54569571
G3 is a great phone , used it for 18 months with no issues. BUT if you're set on using CM I wouldn't get it, the camera firmware is proprietary and the free one they use is dogshit.
>>54569375
can the moto x pure perform any different than the 5x anyway?
What's the difference other than hardware differences (fingerprint scanner and screen size)
>>54560856
what does /g/ think about nexus 6p? there is a cheap one for sale almost brand new on cl might get it.
>>54569732
If you're seriously getting less than 3 hours sot on a 5x you need to look at your software rather than hardware, I rarely ever get less than 7 hours on a really heavy day's use.
>>54562476
Just get an ASUS Zenfone 2 on ebay, there's Silver or Red 32 GB unlocked ones for 159 EUR / 180 USD.
They are fantastic.
>>54569765
I found it too big to be used one handed so not really practical. Build quality and performance seemed great.
>>54569732
moto x pure is only 4mm wider, and 7mm taller which is better than the 5X considering you get 12.5mm more screen size for barely any extra bulk. 1gb more ram, sd card slot, better camera, larger battery.
>>54569861
>>54569732
Consider I desperately needed a phone in February to May, and now I am selling my 5x for about $100 less than what I got it for, and I am buying the Pure from the states (my friend lives there and can bring it down to Canada), is it a good deal?
> (Getting $500 for my 5x, buying $450 Moto)
>>54569912
just be sure you're paying the current US price for the moto x pure - 16gb for $250. 64gb for $350.
>>54569953
I see the Moto X Pure @ $349 USD which is ~$450 CAD.
Where do you see $250 :|
US, Verizon Wireless. Looking for cheap but not shitty with SD expansion and rootable (fuck you Samsung).
Would prefer not to pay over $400 USD or so.
>>54569980
$350 32gb

nigga holy shit what's stopping me from grabbing this?
I'm not familiar with frys. Is it brand new shit and not really a worry to cop? Because I don't want to bother my friend across the border to deal with my shit if things go sour
>>54570115
fry's is an established retailer for like 30 years, and even though the 16gb is on backorder they say it ships in 2 weeks (may 30th). I've noticed a big drop in prices lately because they're getting ready to announce newer models. this is the lowest it's been.
>>54561172
>any xperia
>worth it
I'm tempted to buy a nexus 5 but I don't want to spend all my shekels on it, how bad of an idea is it to buy a used or refurbished model off amazon?
>>54561628
wait for 7s
>>54569825
How's the Zenfone Max Pro I think it just released
>>54570145
thanks for sending the link, i was only looking at the official moto US website.
Frys is getting really bad customer review points on their returns. Im worried that the Moto might have a chance of being faulty and then reach me and itll be a huge hassle.
>>54570188
The old N5? Don't even consider it. The 5X is pretty good.

I got a refurbished 5 from Google. Battery was shit. Don't do it.
>>54570188
could just tear it open and put a polarcell battery in it
>>54570224
I've only dealt with them in person and I've returned stuff within their 30 days standard warranty, I wouldn't trust the online reviews from places like sitepilot or w/e because those are generally filled with retards and trolls. I wouldn't expect a cellphone to be defective but it would require being sent to moto regardless.
>>54569672
Are there any you would recommend for good CM support?
Will my Fido network work with the X Pure?
>Your device must be compatible with the Fido network, which uses GSM, UMTS, HSPA and HSPA+ at 850 MHz and 1900 MHz. To access LTE network, the phone must be compatible with:

True. Will buy it tonight. Thanks.
Note 5 vs V10 vs N6P?
Coming from note 4...
>>54570438
phones that have low intrnal storage but microsd support (ex.16gb + 128gb), could you save apps, spotify offline music, etc on the microsd?
Or are there limitations?
