Tragic joke

is honor 9 overheating issue true or just a meme and does it affect performance

Pixel 2 losing the headphone jack

lmao

i love my moto g5

Between 250-300eur I can get LG V20, Xperia XZ, Lenovo P2, Moto Z Play, Zte Axon 7 or HtC 10. I do love me some battery, but am irrationally attracted to the V20 . I have handled a Note 5 just fine so far so the size doesnt scare me.

What sites are there like banggood and geekbuying where i could browse for prices?

>>61711367
Okay, bruv. Was there a question intended or did you just want to microblog?

I fell for the oneplus 5 meme and I have very very slight jelly when scrolling. Fuck sake.

I wish the honor 8x had AMOLED . Then it' would be perfect for me.

Viper4Android works on some player (Google Music, Vanilla Music) but not on others I actually want to use (PowerAMP, BlackPlayerEX)
Anyone knows whats up with that?

Is the Oneplus 3t a good purchase these days?

there are increasing reports of v20's boot looping, it's not as bad as the previous g series and v10 yet. but considering how lg handled those cases I wouldn't risk buying another phone from them since they can't seem to get their shit together

Last phone: galaxy note 3

No clue how the current situation is with phones but looking for any cheap shit similar to what i had.

$150-300
USA, tmobile
removable battery/micro sd, bigger screen is always good but willing to settle for slightly smaller too

I literally just use phones for ds/psp emulation, and occasionally email or authenticators. Dont give a shit about godtier cameras or whatever else phones come with but a nice battery life paired with a large screen is great for video gaymans.

Anybody have any recs around this price range? What are the commonly mentioned phones that would sort of meet this criteria?

>your phone is as good as the battery inside of it.

fucken bullshit.

What kind of practice should I have about charging my phone? As far as how low I should let it go, and how much I should charge it up.

>>61712470
Never drain it, always keep it above 30-40%

>>61712390

LG G5, V20. That's pretty much it.

>>61712635
Its that uncommon now? What the hell is the point of taking away features from phones? Removable battery isn't a deal breaker if there are other worthwhile phones around that price range but I'm not sure i follow this kind of design choice for a phone.

>>61712833
no removable battery means you'll be forced to buy a new phone every 2 years. I'm not sure what the phone manufacturers say is the reason but that's the real reason

>>61712833
LG was the last manufacturer to still have removable batteries in their flagship phones (G6 has a sealed battery, V30 will too), it's becoming less common in budget phones too.

>>61713048
I've already been kiked out of more than $150 for fixing my note 3's screen and that turned out to be a huge waste of money since now my touch screen only works semi accurately with the stylus and doesn't detect anything when using fingers.

No point in throwing hundreds of dollars into something that is designed to break on you in 2-3 years. Will look into LG G5 and V20 or consider some other cheap alternatives. This jew shit has gone too far.

>>61713030
Long lasting battery it is, the latter was more of a pointless add-on

>>61713118
Good man. Although I can't help you there, I know shit about phones.

Why

Thoughts on the zenfone AR? I got a zenfone 2 currently and love it, I was planning to stick with it until the pixel 2 came out but i jsut heard about the zenfone AR today, it looks pretty sick

but conflicting reports about the android version, i would have guessed 7 but even on the asus site it says only 6, thats weird right? shouldnt all the ned android phones be coming out on 7?

>>61711122
Redmi note 5 when?

>>61714246
I'm in the exact same boat as you. Loved the Zenfone 2 and want to go to the AR, pending reviews. Verizon's site says the AR is running 7, though.

>Post a mini-review of your phone

I don't frequent these threads (or /g/ in general), but I might have info that's useful. I work as a technician for Sprint at one of their corporate stores. Been doing it for a couple of years now so I've worked with every model Sprint carries/carried. I can share info on specific models or just talk shit about sprint. Their models are really all I know much about, though.

i don't like the bezel free meme. ive yet to see a phone or mock up that looks good.

>>61714523

LG has far and away been the worst manufacturer.

>G6
We're now seeing several devices per week that will not charge due to "water detected" in the charging port. The ports are 9 times out of 10 dry with no corrosion found, this sensor seems to be either malfunctioning or just throwing the code and never, ever resetting. This error message is common on the S8 and S8 plus as well, but the difference is that in the G6 the issue will likely persist or return. We've seen this issue range from intermittent charging, slow charging only, or complete blockage of charging through the port.

>V20
Mostly issues with lack of consideration in their design. This device has the build quality of the G4. Battery cover comes off, screws come out the back, and the plastic cover there is the only thing between your mobo and the elements. I've seen a LOT of liquid damage with this device, none of which seemed to come from submersion, just small spills/rain etc. It's a pricey phone to have for a market that's in a space race for waterproofing.

>G5
Same boot-loop issue as the G4 reared its ugly ass head late last year. Software flashing will sometimes resolve the issue, but mostly it seems to be hardware-related and leads to a device exchange after a lengthy mail-in repair. That, or the device is sent back "repaired" (level one repair, no parts used) and the issue comes back a month or less later. We've also seen dozens of them that will no longer find a GPS signal, also hardware. And the power button on the back goes out frequently, either no longer reading a fingerprint or not working at all. Replacing the frame/outer housing is necessary for that one.

>G4
kek

>>61714567
they are all rectangles, get over it faggot.

>>61714698
it's sad there always seems to be a terrible problem with every one of their phones, but the G2 is still my favorite phone ever. RIP.

>>61714732
phones are three dimensional, fagget.

S8 and Z1 are completely different, visually, and the way they feel in your hand

>>61714651

Sales for the HTC 10 were pretty low compared to most other devices we've carried, but even given their frequency in the market we haven't seen many of them for repair. Contrast this with other models (like the Bolt) that were not big, big sellers and it looks to be a decent device if you're going to Sprint. That being said, the ones I have seen with issues were either mistreated and damaged or had user-error software issues. Above all, the 10 is the best HTC model to choose at the moment given the intersection of price/age/reliability.

As far as design goes, I'm not as big a fan of the 10's rounded back (kind of like the M8), and I preferred the look of the A9 or Bolt more.

And for service and coverage, that's a different issue. I've seen wildly differing stories for Sprint's coverage and given what I've seen on our network tool, non-metro areas are pretty bad still. If you know anyone who works in a sprint store or can find one, they all have access to "Glance", which shows tower coverage data as well as network trouble/technician notes and tickets. If the area you're planning on being in looks spotty, you'll probably have some issues. Good luck man.

My LG G2 just died and I got a budget around 350 euros for a new phone.
Is Honor 9 worth it or should i just get a Redmi Note 4X and use the rest for various pc upgrades? I tend to use phones for 3.5-4 years average.

>>61714698
How about the opposite, what would you consider to be weighed down with the least amount of issues?

My girlfriend is tiny and needs a new phone. Her old phone had a defect and died of old age. Currently she's using a iPhone 5s, but she prefers Android. Any good phones that are both affordable and have a <=4.5 inch screen? All these 5"+ phones are too big for her pants.

>>61714972
Xperia X Compact is basically the ONLY android phone under 5 inches. It's that or an iPhone SE.

>>61714972
>Any good phones that are both affordable and have a <=4.5 inch screen
iPhone SE. Xperia X Compact (4.6") or Galaxy A3 2017 (4.7") come the closest to those requirements on the Android side.

Really considering the number of devices that are out there being used and abused, I think it would have to be Samsung. Our repairs are roughly half iPhone, half Android and though Samsung makes up maybe half of those Android tickets, fuckin' LG makes up the other half of those despite their sales compared to Samsung so that's where I'm coming from.

One thing I can say about them is that each problem I can identify with a given model is not existent in the next model. The S6 has a battery adhesive and ribbon cable problem (long-term heat related), the S7 does not. The S6 and Note5 have cosmetic issues with the colored vinyl (top and bottom of the screen, back glass) peeling, the S7 and S7 edge do not. I realize they recalled the Note7 last year, but the issues that phone had were not present in previous models and they developed some kind of new battery inspection process because of it.

Do be wary of curved/edge screens, though. Plenty of weird display issues with those. Shit like dead spots on the touchscreen, flickering, solid color stuck, black screen/burned out LCD, dead pixels, etc. I believe this is just an inherent problem in non-flat screens, though. Curving that shit definitely introduces some strain to the display and the corners of those are very common damage points.

>>61715252
also the galaxy needs to learn the proper place to put the finger print scanner. that placement is worse than motorolas.

What phone would be good enough for these two games?
If we go max to 250€?

p.s I don't want a phone that is a portable oven like my current sd615

>>61715603

My experience with those is limited, sorry. I haven't seen any with burn-in, ghosting, or any display defects at my location yet though. Also, those are non-AMOLED displays, right? LCD burn-in after a short time on those would likely be fixed after the Moto G4 brought it to their attention, but that all comes down to whether Motorola does it or not

All xiaomemes suffer from intense connectivity issues, and no it's not just about muh bands, xiaomeme is aggressive as fuck in their implementation of battery saving.
And no, you can't fix it with lineage.

And no, I'm not stating the major brands are free of issues, but there's a substantial difference between 3% of tens of millions of users encountering an issue and the simple fact a company like xiaomeme can't get notifications right (and no, the "3 steps" don't fix shit they're still delayed LMAO).

But alas, this is the poorfag I was talking about.

Anyways, chinkmemes are alright as side phones or temporary ones, but after owning two of them, never fucking ever. The lack of QA is disgusting.

>>61717704
wut?

Are you even trying to troll.

China spyware is worse than USA spyware? Just install Lineage OS on 'em.

Check the frequencies, all the phones listed work in Canada on almost all frequencies.

Click the GSMarena link posted above, and click the compare photo results. It probably blows whatever phone you have away. are you even brave enough to post what you use?

>>61717660
These phones' problem is exactly that - they're not as well documented as mainstream devices. The problem you discover might be the first time anyone's seen it and there'll be no quick way to go about fixing it, if it can be fixed at all. All chinkshit is like this and you might pay more in inconvenience and grief than you did in dollars in the end.

>>61717457
SE is just an iPhone 5s with a 6s processor, do with that info what you will. It's the closest I've ever gotten to liking an iPhone, but iOS still makes me want to die so it'll never happen for me. The s8 is overall a pretty good phone and provided you don't drop that shit you shouldn't have any problems with it. Unless it does this

>>61717684
I doubt it, especially since it comes standard with 128GB.

Depends what you want to be honest. They're both fantastic processors. The 820 is performance orientated while the main appeal of the 625 is the amazing battery life it offers. There's also the 652/660 which is a nice middle ground between the 2.

>The U11’s USB-C audio support seems to be proprietary, meaning it’ll work with HTC’s adapter but not with others (tested with a USB-C audio adapter from AliExpress). This won’t be an issue unless you lose the HTC adapter — if you do, you’ll find that you can’t just buy a cheap adapter. It’s not that the U11 doesn’t recognise the adapter, it specifically tells you that it’s unsupported and tells you to plug in the USonic headphones.

So the fuck should i get i mean i would love a phone with out any cover just glass but theres nothing. Unless you guys know of any sexy phones in the 350 dollar price range that has good specs without any fuck ups im still deciding between the s7 edge or iphone se.

I plug my earphones directly into my phone because when I'm listening to music on my phone it's with the pair they included in the box which are plenty good.

Sony Xperia XZ Premium, Galaxy S8, or S8+?

I hate curved screens, but if there is a definitive winner I don't care that much. I also was leaning a bit more towards the Sony just to try something different from my last two Samsungs, the S5 and Note [spoiler]7. [/spoiler] I have the Pixel Xl now. It's fine, but more storage would be nice. I like Google photos a lot two, but the lack of a native my files app is stupid. I didn't buy an android to get apple-tier file management. And an apple-tier bezel, but that is my fault.

does anyone know an android app for playing music that will automatically resume playback if my headphones become disconnected and then reconnected? Also a button to skip back 30 seconds from the lock screen would be nice.

My options are
>$300 for Moto G5+, no contract
>$420 for LG G6, with 18 month device contract

I have until the 10th to decide since that is when the 50% off deal for the G6 ends from my carrier. I plan on traveling/staying abroad sometime next year so I don't want to be stuck with a CDMA device, but it's still a hard deal to pass up. Then again I'm also worried about the G6 developing boot loop issues and prefer the stock android of the G5+

>>61721880
Nah most phones with type c are still on usb 2.0

My zuk z2 pro is 3.1 so I'm sure some other phones are too.

Type c is reversible though, nice but not necessary unless you're an idiot.

I'd say the Nexus 5 is still better than many modern phones like the htc u11 just for being the most comfortable phone I've ever used and that it has a proper audio port, so good on you for sticking to what works.

Since the phone is mainly aluminium and plastic I don't think I need a case.

Soft TPU or Hard TPU cases are better?
I seen some ones on aliexpress where you can send a picture and they turn it into a case.

>>61719198
You do realize that they removed it and instead gave you a pair of really great earbuds, right?

Your headphones are shit compared to USonic earbuds after they have scanned your ears.

HTC took something away, unnecessary in my opinion but gave you something special and unique in return.
And You still can use your headphones with the adapter.

Apple on the other hand removed it and gave you nothing in return but a delayed accessory that you have to buy separately from them.

If audio is not one if your top priorities then I wouldn't recommend the U11 but rather maybe the s8 but it's generally a shitty phone compared to everything else this year.

My Nexus 6p just died on me. That feel when I have to leave the U.S. in less than 2 weeks. Got the infamous bootloop. Just fuck my shit up.

I like Moto's stock Android and gestures and I have a Moto X 2013 so I feel more familiar with them. However, apparently the Z2s low light performance sucks dick and the battery is lacking.
The G6 seems like a decent phone but I haven't heard good things about non-stock Android skins. Plus it's made out of glass, the Z2 is a tank. The G6 also doesn't have gestures which sucks because it's what I'm used to.
I think I should cancel my Z2 Force preorder and get the G6 instead, but im unsure.

Why is lightning a superior connector when compared to usb-c /g/?

>pins in connector and socket won't break off as there aren't tiny plastic sheets holding pins together, but a metal reinforced connector and no pins in the socket itself
>easier to connect without the need to worry about breaking off the pins in the connector

Apple originally wanted lightning to be the usb-c design, meaning no proprietary costs for apple phones, but the USB IF decided to go for this retarded design just so notebooks can share the same chargers with smartphones, since usb-c variants wasn't complicated enough for consumers before having the risk of burning your house down connecting the wrong cables to the wrong device.

I don't want chinese botnet thanks

Garbage can filler?

I'm not sure that this phone will last that long is the main problem, since I'm sure it's going to be October/November or later for the release of the Note8

>>61724100
It's launching in August

>>61724072
It's not made in china, but by some chink in southeast asia. If you still insist on not using it, then at least admit that it is a racial motive instead of a political one.
There are several other eq's on the magisk repo (i've never got them to work though), and the arise mod on xda developers. If you just want an equalizer, just find a music player that can call up musicfx for you (spotify, google play music and poweramp are the examples I know of)

Just get a cheap chinaphone or a Moto E plus or something to hold you out until the Note 8.

Any chance of an SD630 phone for less than $140 on Novermber 11?

My sources say no

I would use it if it was on the playstore, I see no legit reason for it to be hosted on a mediafire site

why?
Not iShit please.

When will Meizu M5s get Flyme 6?

>Remove an international standard
>Replace it with earbuds slightly better than the sub-par ones you'll get with most phones
Yeah that is totally worth it not being able to use what I want with the device.

I simply fail to comprehend how anyone can bother defending it, with the exception of buyers remorse.

>Above all, the 10 is the best HTC model to choose at the moment given the intersection of price/age/reliability

Not a sprintfag, not even a burger but just ordered an HTC 10 a few days ago. Apart from the tonne of great reviews, reading stuff like this really reassures me that I made the right decision.

My HTC One M7 is dying from the inside (it still looks good but 1h SoT and the phone and network functions are on the verge of death)
I'd like a meme-free phone (no rounded screen, no samshit edge, no degenerate screen ratio) with a decent/great battery life and good call quality without having to get a bigger phone (4.7 inches is perfect).
I use it for :
>Messages
>Calls
>Some web browsing
>4kuk
>Love Live SiF

Should I :
>Get an iPhone
Great for everything but might be too expensive and I never really used iOS and I'll lose all my root and xposed tricks I like (youtube in background and no adds)
>Samsung Galaxy A3
Sell my soul to samshit and their shitty UI and button placement for a decent phone with excellent battery life
>HTC 10
Give up and get a bigger screen

No Sony please.

So I'm using Firefox Beta and ever since and update around May or June I'm unable to upload images. On every website that asks you to "click to upload" will highlight when tapped but nothing happens. Its really pissed me off. Does the normal Firefox work? Or is there a better browser out there

Non XL pixel

>>61724274
Well i got mine off magisk and the apk off xda, in fact it might not be the best idea to get it off mediafire

>>61725669
Open the phone and fix it.

Fuck this noise.

I think I'm going with a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X 4GB RAM 64GB MTK X20 Deca Core.

$188 with 6-13 day shipping.

Is that a good price for this phone, and how realistic is Aliexpress with shipping and selling a genuine Xiaomi product?

What do you guys think of Sony's XA1? Is it good or get something else?

You don't want the Mediatek version. Get this instead

thanks wise anon by saving me from buying a mediatek cpu, but damn, the snapdragon is $25 more coming in at $213 with 16 day ship. Oh well, I could use to lose a few pounds.
