How do i get rid of a Note 4's bloatware?

also first for being late to the party

[spoiler]i think im following a root guide?

I'm thinking of getting the nextbit robin for my sister. It's $118 at newegg right now. I mean, it's probably gonna become rare right? Aside from battery, the specs seem alright.

>>60984244
I was going to get it until I heard the battery life was pretty mediocre and they overheat easily.

I did it. I fell for the Blackberry meme.

I heard the people in the phone store laughing at me, but I finally got a real keyboard.

lg g3 is still a good phone?

>>60984366

how does it now feel to be "that guy" ?

Hey it could be worse. I was almost the guy with pic related. But for that much money decided on a black op3t and am happy with it

I really like the BB priv, and it is almost perfect for a project I'm planning.
But the lack of rom support for proper security is a killer.
Is there anything else like it, or well, anything with a keyboard and can be had for around $200

>>60984366

are there custom roms for that model?

if not then I wouldn't consider

Although people need it for business and social lifestyles

I just don't want Google Play Store™

>>60984596
Anything homebrew on Android words on the KeyOne, because it's Android too. It's not a good idea, though, because the appeal of the KeyOne was its advanced security features, which memebrew often removes.

You'll lose DTEK which only runs on Blackberries. (DTEK is an app that intentionally looks for security vulnerabilities in your phone.) You'll lose the on-the-fly decryption which uses AES/Rijndael (256-bit, FIPS 197) for a weaker alternative, usually Serpent or Twofish, common in custom memebrews. You'll lose EEM and MDM (although there's alternatives in the google play store for both of these). You lose encrypted texts as well.

The KeyOne is a weird phone. It's meant for people who care about privacy and security, but if you really care about privacy and security you wouldn't own a smartphone.

Anyone here ever used a moto 360 2nd gen? They've become total phone nazis at work and looking for a loophole. Any other model suggestions? Using it on Android and my budget is $200

If I don't care about the camera, how much of an upgrade is the OP5 over a 3T from what we know? Swappa's been having 128gb 3ts for ~400 when I check and it's been tempting, but I was holding out to see the op5 in action.

>>60984834
Just wait until tomorrow morning and we'll know everything there is to know.
Personally, I feel that if they remove the headphone jack or neuter even one feature from the 3T, the 3T will end up being a better deal.

/g/ I need your help - I'm finally gonna upgrade my smartphone after 4 years of using an apple 5 iphone.

Looking at the Sony Xperia XZ premium, Samsung S8 or the Sharp Aquos R. Can you redpill me on these choices?

Live in Japan, carrier Au (current), planning to switch to docomo

My note 4 battery has been draining crazy fast on stand-by these past few days. What is going on?

>>60985285
Sounds like it's time for a new battery

>>60984153

I own ans S8+. Does that make all of you my slaves?

>>60985285
My galaxy S5 was doing that recently. I force stopped chrome, turned the phone off and removed the battery for 10 seconds. then turned it back on and its been fine since.

>>60984465
p sure it's the only that doesn't bootloop :^)

Probably about to buy the Zuk Z2, anything specific I should know before I pull the trigger?
What's the best chinkstore to buy it from?

>>60984187
You need Root. Use any file explorer, I use an older version of ES File Explorer (New one's fucking trash). Go to the System Apps tab and uninstall unnecessary shit. Good luck

>>60984244
>>60984345
Not just that the phone is built a like Chocolate bar

>>60985260
XZ Premium, Performance-wise better than the S8 but
>muh bezelz
Other than that S8 is actually a pretty good choice.

So where is the best place to buy phones for an americuck?

>>60985954
Thanks, i kept hearing about the bezel issue, but it sounds like a non-issue as I'll be using a case. Xperia it is then

What's a good phone for $150-160? Pls. no underpowered SD625.

You ain't getting no 835 with that budget buddy

>>60986063
For just a few dollars more than that you can get a note 4

>>60986063
You're gonna just get worse than an 625 for that price.

>>60986189
When they feel like it

>>60986189

that's because the reveal is at 12pm edt, genius

>>60986185
The 625 is faster than the 652 you dumdum. The numbers don't represent speed. For example the newer 600 series chips are faster and more advanced than the old the 800 series chips used on many old flagships.

>>60986262
SD652 Geekbench is higher than SD625. Retard.

What's a good cheap service for 2 Americans? Was gonna go T-Mobile for 100/mo unlimited everything and grab two s7

>>60986369

>>60986534
You should be fine with t-mobile then. I don't think anyone but sprint beats their price point but I wouldn't go there.

I have had a RN3P for a year now and decided to change. What phone would you recommend under 200 dollars?

So I fell for the meme and got a Redmi Note 3 Pro. Fingerprint sensor doesnt show up in the settings, the battery only lasts like half a day even if I dont use it, it gets insanely hot pretty fast after normal use, and it already has scratches on the back. Do I install a CFW or just throw it away?

Does the Xiaomi Mi Max 2 fit inside Mi Max cases?

I don't have problems finding this phone in my country, just accessories

I have a smartphone question but didnt want to make a new thread about it.

Is there any way to run ~10 same apps at once. Like 10 instagrams or whatsapps. Even on PC, is there any way?

>>60986817
Why

>>60986861
Catfishing. Now pls respond

>>60986185
Out of stock lol

Does Redmi Note 3 Cases/Covers fit on the Redmi Note 4? There's this rubberized cover that I really like but they are advertising it as a cover for RN3.

>>60986817
Yes (Although I am not sure if it will work for you). But you do have to be rooted.

>>60986544
Thanks friend.

>>60986817
Nougat phones support multiple profiles/accounts. I'm pretty sure each account has separate app data so you can make 10 and use separate accounts, but you'll have to switch between accounts.
Xiaomi phones can install multiple instances of apps, but I think they're limited to 2. You won't have to switch between accounts, they'll both run at the same time.
On a PC, you can set up multiple android virtual machines and just run them all at once. But you need a really powerful PC to run 10 VMs. As in, at least 24GB RAM, an SSD and a Ryzen or some other high end processor with lots of cores.
There are tools for rooted phones to do this.
Also, if you could rebuild apps to have different package names you could install multiple of them even on a non-rooted phone. But I'm pretty sure you need an apps source for this.

I'm looking to buy a used iPhone.
As someone who doesn't use any Apple devices, what are some things I should look out for/test before buying?

>>60987618
Do NOT get a used iPhone. Chances are it'll be locked down either immediately or after you factory reset it because most people don't remove ownership before selling. If you want to actually buy a used iPhone then you must go and buy it in person and ask the person you're buying it from to immediately transfer their ownership to you by first making a factory reset and then letting you change the devices account into your Apple account.
iPhones are the riskiest phones to get 2nd hand. Just buy a new or used Android device. Android is much better than iOS anyway, isn't as restricted and you won't have to deal with lagTunes.

>>60987770
I was already planning to go in person. It's just that as somebody who is not familiar with iOS, I was wondering what to look out for.

And the phone is not for me.

>>60987893
Just make sure that the seller turns off Find My iPhone and unlinks their Apple ID. After that you can factory reset and log in with your own Apple ID.

Also make sure the serial number of the phone matches the one on the box.

Today's OnePlus 5 release day, although we already know everything:
>camera is not centered, and still sticks out the back, but promise good performance
>decent battery
>1080p AMOLED
>fuckhuge bezels
>$600

So is OnePlus officially dead? Their strength was the aggressive pricing with excellent specs, but now it's just excellent specs like everyone else in the market.

What will replace it?

>>60988165
Wasn't it $500 not $600?

>>60988165
Nah, Xiaomi were always cheaper. Their strength is custom ROMs.

I want to update the board help me out by adding suggestions. USD*.

good phones under 100?

>>60988196
Oh yes, you're right, the 6GB/64GB model is $500, the 8GB/128GB one is $600
>>60988210
Yeah, but Xiaomi wasn't that good, and it went down the shitter when they removed the headphone jack from the Mi6.

whats the general conseus on Lineage OS?
I'm considering on moving to it on my Xperia Z2 because im fucking tired of the (((What's New))) ads i get more and more frequently

is Lineage actually useable, or is it better to root a "default" rom and remove adware

>>60988675
Perfectly usable but it's the most bare-bones custom.

>>60988688
alright, barebones is great since currelntly i only have lightning browser and wolfram alpha installed apart from the default shit
how does it handle performance wise do you know? batterylife and such
also is it as stable as any other rom?

>>60988675
>is Lineage actually useable
That depends on the phone you have, for one model the LineageOS build might be very stable and bug-free, for another it might barely boot up.

It's the most popular custom ROM though, and thus gets the most work / development put in to it, so in terms of custom ROMs it's usually the safest bet for a stable, bug-free ROM.

Who /op5/ here?

The new Nokia phones seem really good though especially when they aren't bloated like most of the new phones on the market.

>>60988830
I was hyped at first, but then I saw the price tag. And the bezels.

I'm making the leap to manhood and finally leaving my parents plan. What do I need to switch carriers and keep my number? Since it's my mom account, do I have to drag her to the Sprint store?

Does Android not allow you to install apps on SD storage? Wtf?

Don't blame Samsung if you're dumb enough to leave LTE over night.

>>60990677

Your phone shouldn't be killed by default if you leave WiFi on, perhaps expecting a message and hoping not to receive it 1h later.

>>60990850
>>60990886
Right, but does it actually work? These have always been options for years, but actually installing apps on the SDcard never works for me.

>bought XZ two months before XZ Premium was announced
I want to kill myself.

>>60990989
Isn't the XZ premium almost double the cost of a XZ? At least burgers can get the regular XZ for ~$400 new.

While I was waiting for op5 I've discovered that the price for xperia x performance dropped insanely where I live, it's $50 cheaper than op3t now. Should I go for it? Hardware-wise it's perfect for me, but the lack of custom roms is kinda scary.

>>60988963

My nexus 5 is finally dying on me. The microphone no longer works along with a few minor issues. We had a good run, but I need a replacement and I havent been keeping up with phones as of late.

Can anyone give me some up-to-date recommendations on phones? My price range is 200-600 and around 5".

>>60992002
Plz be less than £500 bongs, less than £450 and i'll buy it immediately

>>60991973
Rumours are £520 but I'm not sure if that's the 64gb or 128gb version. Hopefully the former.

Too expensive for me if true, fuck oneplus.

Maybe 1+6 if I don't happen to break my phone soon.

>>60992036

>>60992023
In case you didn't notice, the OnePlus 5 is being launched right now. It will end on the upper limit of your budget, but it should be good for the price.

Honestly either way I think I win here. If it's super expensive, the Oneplus 3T will be way cheaper now so I'll just buy that.

I wish my OPO would just die already so I could buy this. I'm actually liking this phone.

>>60991974
Gotta be around $600

Right now the OnePlus 3T can be had for like 400-450 burgerdollars

So I've got a Samsung SM-G930V running Android 7.0, and Verizon's my carrier. I have one of their old, no-shit unlimited plans that I make good use of several times a year when I travel. I got this thing because I dropped a rather large ratchet on the screen of my Note 5 and bricked it. Hard.

Here's the problem: I cannot use it as a hotspot. PDANet+/FoxFI let me do it on older Android versions, but I get this message when I try to enable it: "Your carrier will not allow WiFi mode on Android 7.0 or later systems. Please use USB mode or Bluetooth mode instead of using our software." I'm fine with tethering via USB most of the time but I find it stupid that I cannot use a very common capability of modern devices due to Verizon trying to push their little hotspot boxes that do the exact same thing. Do you folks have any idea on how to get around that nonsense?

WHO GIVES A FUCK HOW MUCH IS IT

568 dollars in my country

>Vibration motor fixed

wew

>>60992066
My OPO just started the dying process a couple weeks ago. Headphone jack doesn't work, microphone is completely broken, and it runs hot whenever I charge it. I'm surprised yours is still hanging in there.

The bezels look larger when its placed next to the 3T, at least the top bezel. What the fuck?

>globalist phone

no thanks

Check the website for the price

>>60992037
argh, fucksake. If that is true then its pretty much the same as all the other flagships..

>>60992099
I bought it just 2 years ago when the OP2 was released. Maybe it will last 1 more year

>499€ on official page

>>60992066
It's four years old, man, you don't need an excuse to replace it.

500 euros in germany.

>>60992112
£450 for the 128gb would be instabuy for me.

>>60992137
>>60992120
Is that the 128gb one

>>60984153
Okay so I'm trying to decide between htc 10 and mi5s. I think the build quality of the htc 10 will be better than the xiaomi one. Anyone got any experiences with either phone?

Looks like there's going to be a code in the launch event, pay attention to it and enter it asap if you want to get the phone soon.

>>60992130
No, it's 3yo, mine is actually "only" 2.

£449, alright its settled, OP5 next phone

>>60992151
No the 64. That would be crazy cheap if it was 128gb, not possible

>>60992154
Lol fuck this. Codes for the privilege of buying their phone. They can fuck off.

Oneplus One and Oneplus Three(T) have been great. The two sucked. The five looks like it'll be good.

Lol, doesn't everybody say that OnePlus customer support is awful?

Just bought it, wish me luck /g/

>>60992237
I would probably go for the 128gb. If you're spending that much money the 50 pounds extra isn't a big increase

Do you want it to be even more expensive?

They've gotten too expensive, what's the best value chinkphone right now that retails around OP3 price?

I have to pay 5500 SEK for the 128 GB version which equals 625 USD

Why do we Swedes always have to pay higher prices for everything?

I wish they did the LG V series in the UK/Europe. Very impressive phones and I'd definitely pick one up

>>60992308

Is there any need to hurry with preordering the OP5? Will they run out of stock anytime soon?

Originally wanted the redmi note4 but this looks good.

More than 2x the price tho

>>60992262
I've had my 3T for like four months and there's now 13gb of stuff on it. Not really storing anything in particular either. I'll probably use this thing for like three years and at this rate the 64gb would be topping up before two years. Don't really want to worry about what to delete to free up space

>>60992206
Welp i bought it. I hope its pretty good.

If anyone wants the early bird purchase the code is Clearer Photos

Worth selling my 3T for 450 and going for the 5 right now ?

Guys /madlad/ here.

Looking to upgrade my Nexus 4 and looks like I'm finally going to do it. I've said it every year but I think it's finally time.

Any reason to prefer the op5 over the mi6 other then the headphone jack? I'm not paying over 100$ more just for that

>buying phones before any reviews come out

You don't want to miss out on the $5 you save on accessories, do you?

>>60992374
You're falling into the same trap as I did. Originally I was looking at like 300 euros max but then I kept thinking like I guess if I go that high I can increase it a bit. And then I'm suddenly paying 500 for the 3T. I'm a poor shit though so I'm paying for it through two years, and at that point it didn't really matter to me whether I pay 13 or 11 shekels a month for something

That notification slider and the entire design make it look far too much like an iPhone.

>>60992400
How are you selling it for that much, that's how much it was at launch

So which one so you think is better: 6gbram or the 8gb one?

So should I buy the OP5 or OP3T? Money is not an issue.

The fact that OP5 might be a shittier phone is what worries me. See: >>60992391

>>60992413
HOW?

>>60992436
It's basically a 3T, only thing that changed is the camera position. I think the camera location is an improvement, I sometimes find myself almost poking the camera lens when I pick up the phone

>>60992451

Is there any way to circumvent the Jewish trickery and buy OP5 for the US price and not the much more expensive euro price?

>>60992457
I don't think it makes any real difference. 8gb has more storage though

>>60992482
It's sapphire, it doesn't matter.

Also keep in mind the 3T battery life in that article is reported as less than it is after the most recent patch.

You should not encounter problems. They said this is a global device so it should work on many networks, especially a big one like AT&T

I recommend the XZ Premium. One week with it now, and I get 7 hours SOT (with wifi, some gaming,and lots of music listening and web browsing), the performance is insane , and the bezels aren't annoying at all t b h. Also the phone looks very stylish irl. Pretty happy with it.

Did I make the right choice /g/?

>>60992576
From the Verge's written review it is hammering at the camera gimmick which can shape up better with software enhancements. This is being really optimistic though.

>>60985260
The Sony Xperia XZ Premium even surpassed the iPhone 7 In performance in real-world tests. And the camera is top-notch.

>retards buying this shitphone all because of hype

It looks pretty mediocre for that price and the reviews are all but good

>>60992616
With that colour It's going to look even more like an iPhone 7.

>>60992616

No thanks I'll just wait for the Honor 9

The whole house is transferring to T-Mobile and we're all getting new phones. Using an iPhone 6 now, there really isn't anything I wish it did that it doesn't. Just more storage space, and an even better camera would be nice too.

I'm not attached to iOS at all, however I'm concerned about Apple's shitty iMessage transferring fiasco, which they haven't fixed yet as far as I know. On the other hand, I really don't want to give up an audio jack

In the US btw. What do, /g/?

>>60992718
He most likely received the phone and filmed that days / weeks ago, just that he was under contract not to release anything until after the launch. Same reason why all the reviews came out immediately after the launch

Holy shit smartphone reviewers are so fucking out of touch with reality. The bad things they name about OP5 are all things I couldn't care less about.
>design
Never gave a shit about and never will. I guess their hardons for design is why S8 is so overly praised despite being such a shitty phone.

>water resistance
What are you, fucking children? I'm not going to fucking bath with my fucking pants on. Jesus Christ these people are stupid. They care more about gimmicks than quality.

Hope someone actually helps me out here, I don't know much about smartphones unfortunately, got a LG G3 for some years now but the display is fucked due to me touching the phone with wet hands I guess.

Anyways, for a new phone I'm looking for something that is preferably light, not too big, fast and doesn't use too much battery. I will be using the phone for looking stuff up online on the go, use it for navigation and to chat mostly.
I'm looking to spend max 200€.

>Did quite some research now and could use some help deciding which one I buy.
Motorola Moto G 3 for 145€
Lenovo Moto G4 Play for 140€
Wileyfox Swift 4G for 156€

fuck this shit. If I'm paying that much, I rather see what google has to offer

Their dash charging needs to die. Stop fragmenting the industry, especially if you have no intention of licensing out the technology to 3rd parties. Fuck buying their overpriced chargers and cables

>>60992836
Also consider the Lenovo P2, nice phone with HUGE battery (5000 mAh). Or the Moto G5, pretty cheap and does everything.

>>60992847
Price doesn't matter, just has to be anything T-Mobile has available. Wasn't planning on Samsung in the first place, so that's good

Only other things I can think of is a good non-intrusive size, and not too edgy/space-age looking

>>60992769
It's expensive too, I heard. Also, unlike OnePlus, it doesn't even try to hide the fact that it is a Chinese phone. It has a heavy Chinese skin (EMUI) But it looks pretty.

>>60992904
>not too edgy/space-age looking
I was just going to suggest the Sony Xperia XZ Premium :-/

>>60991952
The SoC matters also, just compare the difference between the SD820 powered S7 / S7 Edge and S8 / S8 + with SD835, same battery capacity but S8 / S8+ get better battery life. Same thing with Redmi Note 3 Pro and Redmi Note 4X, both 4100mah but the thanks to the SD625 being more efficient than the SD650 the 4X gets noticeably better battery life.

>>60992836
Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X

>>60992904
>TMobile available
Just order an unlocked phone then.
>Non-intrusive size
Sony Xperia XZs or XZ. Or Xperia X performance if you want curved edges.

>>60992813
Most reviewers are faggots, that's why they care about design, cause a phone is just a fashion accessory to them.

Water resistance may be useful for normalfag situations though, like a pool party or selfies underwater.

>>60992904
LG G6 is really good in every department. It has got a rather intrusive Android skin, but is great in every other way. Or the Motorola Z, it is from last year but has good performance, is extremely thin (5.1 millimetres), has very clean Android and is unique for its modularity (it has some pins on the back and it can connect magnetically to an external battery, a JBL speaker, a Hasselblad camera and a mini projector, and more of these are coming, including a gamepad mod or a physical keyboard).

>>60993000
Meant the regular Redmi 4X >>60992836

>>60992813
A lot of them are paid to write a good review, or are just fanboys. I honestly don't see anything good on Samsung phones.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXRh6zoDVX4

OIS doesn't exist on 4k video, it's good on 1080p though

>>60992904
The BlackBerry KeyOne is awesome for communicating because it has a physical keyboard. It is really utilitarian, it is more of a tool than an accessory. It has good battery life, and the performance and camera are okay. It comes with advanced security technology from BlackBerry.

So what's the verdict? Buy OP5 or some other phone?

>>60993073
Wait for Nokia 9. Or buy a Xperia XZP if you have enough money to spend.

Thoughts on LeEco Le S3 for $140?

Sony Xperia XZ Premium, period. Speaking of more storage space, it supports microSD cards (I don't know how much built-in storage it has)

£513.99 on O2 for 128gb. 64gb only available on contract.

Fuck this phone.

It's lacking the same things as 5. This one has better camera though

Need a cheapo phone, chink or otherwise, budget is €150

>>60993101
No I'm not waiting for another fucking phone. I already waited for S8 and OP5 in order to draw a conclusion. In the meantime my OP1 has been crumbling with a battery life of less than one hour. It is time to switch. I'm not prepared to pay more than 600 USD.

Thats what I'm thinking too desu. it's a bit more expensive but it also has official LOS support (okay so does the mi5s) and probaly better support if something breaks. Also reviewers on Youtube praised it for being so goddamn sturdy. I want it to last for a few years.

>>60993483
The camera is better on the HTC 10 and you have expandable storage, Mi5s has better battery life and slightly better performance (SD821 vs SD820). Build quality is probably better on the HTC like you say.

>>60993373
YES

Where the hell I can buy Lenovo P2 seems like almost no one sells it.
