Is there a decent sub 100usd phone for tmobile usa? The homtom rec doesn't support 3g/4g. I'm not looking for anything specific just an all rounder, maybe battery or camera not being a horrorshow, but it's not a focus.

I searched around for a while and I couldn't find anything. So, I'm going to ask here. Can I flash the stock rom with something else on my Huawei P8lite? If not, I'm gonna upgrade it to Android 6.0.

Would it feel like a significant downgrade going from the gflex 2 to an honor 5x? The battery life in my phone is getting unbearable and it looks like despite the initial promise, lg is abandoning marshmallow for it.

Am I the only one who actually prefers plastic phones? Big slabs of plastic feels much nicer in the hand than big, thin, slippery glass and metal builds and all that shit.

I'm thinking about getting the new phones Wileyfox just announced, the Spark, to just use as a fitness tracker and beater phone, but it almost looks like the Wileyfox Swift is better than the Spark and Spark+.

152€ and it's the best price/performance phone you can get for that price.

>>55302481
Looks amazing for that price!
Might just go for it

So is the note 7 confirmed to have the edge meme?

I just got a s7 edge the other day and love the phone expect for the stupid ass edge.

Think I am going to take it back and get the note 5 instead unless the note 7 won't have the edge, I can wait for that.

>>55301038
This actually seems a lot better than other phones around this price. Er, I don't suppose I'm extra lucky and the phone can be rooted, am I?

>>55303033
Not sure since it's a new model, found this however for the older one:

http://www.doogeemobile.com/blog/doogee-x5-phone-root-guide/

Looking for something solid to last me a long time, that's not a big phone, money no object but specs are no object too.

S7 seems like the only one out there that makes sense, because N5X seems flawed and doesn't have good battery life. 6P too big, and S7 edge too slippery and pointless. The HTC10 is good, but S7 is better. The only other alternative is to wait for the Nexus 2016, right? Thanks :)

>>55301453

>>55303093
Thanks. Seems there's other Doogee threads on xda about rooting, as well. Appreciate it.

>>55303200
S7 is objectivity the best. HTC 10 if you don't want touchwizz.

Independent yookay fag here. I'm in the market for a new phone. My budget is £400, but I really liked the look of the HTC 10. I was considering the OnePlus 3, but it doesn't have a micro SD slot. Should I wait til the HTC comes down in price (a la Black Friday or some shit), buy it used or just go for the OP3? My network will be BT (EE).

>>55303678
>OP3
Your concern shouldn't be the missing SD slot, but the >3000mAh battery and the b-tier pentile screen from 2010.

>>55303800
What would you suggest otherwise?
My main requirements are:
3 or more GB RAM
Snapdragon 820 or equivalent
Fingerprint scanner
Micro SD slot

>>55303915
Mi 5 and Le 2 X820 are the cheapest SD820 phones you can find, but they both have their own issues (Mi 5 extremely fragile, X820 no headphone jack etc).

Maybe Zuk Z2 or Axon 7 when they release (should be very soon).

>>55303982
Thanks a bunch. I'll give them a look

Looks pretty good for ~$300.

>>55304122
It's launching July 4th AFAIK.

>>55304127
Just watched the review. Looks pretty good indeed.
My only concerns are the 3500mAh that only got 5h SoT, which should have been more, and the audio output via 3.5

>>55304127
Looks alright.

>>55304184
Not too long to wait then.

>>55304198
I only hope they release more colours than gold.

>>55304127
IMO we should wait for more reviews from the likes of phonearena and gsmarena.
Also read the link below, until they make an official announcement i'd stay clear of the device.

Why is there malware on porn sites when I browse with my phone?

Sup.

I have a £200 budget and I'm looking for a new phone. Currently I'm on EE, in Scotland. I have a Note 2, and everything about it is great, apart from battery life and it being a slow and old shit. Battery gets raped on 4G and shit gets real hot when using it to browse when out and about.

I want an Android replacement. Expandable storage is a must. A good camera too.

Same shit as OP3. But hey.. its so innuvatif and thiny, just look!
Are we here the only ones left who care about battery life?!

>>55304391
Moto G4 Plus seems your best bet mate. Make sure you get the 3GB one though, 2GB is a little anaemic nowadays.

>>55304391
Mi Max 190 £
Redmeme Note 3 Pro 130 £

>>55304420
Yeah it sucks, the Axon 7 is also only 3140mAh and 2160p. gonna have to see reviews and battery test first.

I currently have a Nexus 5 I bought on release, and I'm looking to upgrade.

TMobile currently has a BOGO deal with all their Samsung phones (Galaxy's and Notes)
Out of Samsung's lines, which is the better choice, the Galaxy S7 Edge or the Note 5? Alternatively, is the S7 Edge worth the extra few hundred compared to the S6 Edge plus? (What's the difference between the s6 edge and the s6 edge plus? They're the same price at the moment)

Thanks -

They offer a shipping method that works by first sending the package to britbong land and then to you.
Since it's coming from Europe you won't have to worry about customs and tax.

>>55301469
Seems decent to me, can unlock on verizon, not jumbo phablet screen, decent camera and battery, will probably get some decent custom rom support

only problem is price, by the time it goes down it might be outclassed

I broke my S6 and they're giving me an S7 Edge gratis because of my insurance policy. What can I expect? Will it still be a piece of shit like the S6? Will Gear VR still randomly turn on and force a restart of the phone? Will it still detect a regular cable as a docking station and refuse to charge no matter what? Will the USB port become farcically loose the point where you have to prop it up to even get it to charge? Will it get boiling lava hot when you have more than 3 apps open? Will it still be incredibly hard to root? Will it still not have an SD card slot?

Because I sure hope not.

Wish they would just give me my 700 dollars back instead so I could spend it on a better phone.

>>55311386
The S7 is a massive improvement over the S6. I know for a fact they fixed the Gear VR thing and the over-heating problems, everything else is likely fixed as well

should i just wait for the Nexus 7 (or whatever it is)?

this probably won't be a daily driver; just a relatively unused device that i can say is a "generic but good android device" for the next few years. hence the thought about just going with a nexus device when it gets refreshed.

App recommendations?

>>55322116
And the software? Isn't MIUI bloated?

>>55311432
>>55311517

so safe bet upgrading to an s7 over the g5?

I liked lg until I suffered the g4 boot loop, got a replacement no problem but as soon as I can get a new phone I am going to. Would like to avoid the hassle of dealing with a dead one again. g5 has a lot of reports of weird shit going on with new phones and I don't trust LG's qc anymore.

Im on Verizon so not a lot of options. I like having an sd card slot, but if I have to give it up what are the best home wifi backup options? pay/pirate an app or do something diy?

>>55323158
EMUI* lol, fail

So i called T-mobile about replacing my Z3 (screens peeling off) and all they have to offer under the insurance plan is a M9.
Is there another phone around $175~250 thats comparable to the Xperia?
I'd rather not get the M9. Also no Redmeme Note please.

>>55323191
It's completely different from stock android, but i wouldn't consider it bloated.
The good thing about Huawei ist that they are available at almost every store.
I recommend you to go to a store and check EMUI out yourself, if you like it, buy it.

>>55323336

Presumably you can get a Z3 compact for around that?

Yo senpai what the best service provider? Best bang for your buck?

>>55322395
no one?

>>55323428
If I got another Z3 I'd prefer the fullsize over the compact probably.

>>55323497

Presumably Pokemon Go will run on potatoes so you should be fine with anything.

Just trying to stay under budget. What don't you like about the M9?

I need a tank of a phone.

I've been clinging to my QWERTY phone for almost four years now and it's finally starting to show its age. Considering the QWERTY has gone the way of the dodo, it will soon be time to retire this old soldier and get something that's not a slider. I'm looking for some kind of large phone since I'm a big guy with big hands and thumbs.

The Oukitel K10000 honestly looks like it's right up my alley. I'm in the Seattle area on T-Mobile, and word on the street is that the K10000 performs like ass in the US because of its mediocre specs and lack of support for higher-end bands, but really it's about on par with my current phone, a Samsung Galaxy S Relay with extended battery. $200 doesn't seem so bad for a modern-ish phone with slightly better specs and a gorillion-mAh battery that's actually THINNER than my current phone. The large battery is a plus as I am constantly doing something or another on my phone.

Can anyone vouch for the K10000 in the US? Or recommend me another large/thick phone with a microSD slot and a bigass battery?

>boot up phone screen

I love my G2 but the audio jack in it has finally gone out of it and I can't use normal headphones in it anymore. I have to use blue tooth headphones now.

I could get another G2 for under $100 but I might aswell throw down the extra $100 and get a better phone from 2015 for $200.

So I'm currently looking at my next budget phone.. I can get a Nexus 6 for $210 right now. The LG G4 and the LG Flex 2 are also in that price range for me. The Galaxy s5 is around that price too but I rather stay away from Samsung.

Any suggestons brethen? At this point I just want a good battery, storage capacity and enough ram and juice to let me Youtube, snapchat, listen to music and browse the web at work. I might go check out a Windows Phone..

>>55325118

>>55325091
I wouldn't get neither the one nor the other

I have a Nexus 6 and use AT&T, I'm thinking of selling this and getting a new phone in November when my contract is up. Is there anything in the horizon that I should just buckle down and wait for/be excited about? Or just get something already on the market?

I just picked up a cheap HTC 10 after my M7 shat the bed. Now I don't have a gallery or music app anymore, what gives? It won't let me install the .apks of the default HTC apps for other models and 3rd party alternatives don't work.

Am I stuck with google photos and play music now?

>>55326336
Worst case, factory reset. Check your application manager to see if they're still there or not, I've had apps disappear on me then fiddled with them in the manager.

How much did you get your HTC10 for?

>>55326489
€550 brand new. It appears the apps not being there is a feature. I thought I can just get something else, but it looks like I'd have to root it for that.

my moto g 2nd gen apparently overheated and shut itself off while charging overnight, it was very hot still when I woke up and noticed it. It luckily did power on and has been working fine all day but I'm a little worried it might burst into flames or something when I go to charge it again tonight.

Using the direct to wall charger it came with. wondering if I should switch to a USB line into my laptop that I leave on all night instead?

Phone is no longer under warranty unfortunately, but I was planning to upgrade pretty soon anyway I just don't want it to burn the place down in the meantime..

>Is iOS that much better than Android?.
If you don't care much for customization, automation, and being able to change default apps. Honestly iOS just feels and works like a glorified feature-phone OS, but for a lot of people that's just fine. Android is much more like a pocket-PC for better and for worse.

Well if it's the least bad of what you've given yourself as options and you've decided you do in fact want a new phone I don't see why you shouldn't buy it.

Well, both the S5 and S6 can have ROMs slapped onto it. Everyone suggests getting a near stock rom instead of CM with those though.
I wouldn't do either imo though. The S5 is the ugliest device ever sold, and the S6 removed the sd slot and removable battery.

well already have the S7, since it was a buy one get one free device from someone who bought another s7.

So...I'm vaguely thinking of getting the normal wireless charger that I already ordered (scheduled to get here tomorrow or the next day), ordering the fast charger, then returning the normal one when the fast one gets here.

Because i bought it locally, and they handle my warranty way better.

Plus, my old moto e broke and needed a new one that day.

Picking up an S4 for $75 while my 6S is being sent in for repair, and also to give my brother after I get my phone back since he lost his chinkphone.

Any tips? Should I put Marshmallow on there? I expect the battery to be shit, so should I buy an extended one? It's the S600 version.

Best phablet with a pen that's easily root-able?
Bonus for expandable memory

Will the moto /g/ 2nd gen be getting android N?

Bought a Redmi Note 2 prime from Ebay UK for £90. Flashed mokees rom, no regrets.

Best launcher for Android? Free preferably.

If it helps, Nova prime is $1 right now. Buy it.
