>>54896171
Well, it should be much smoother considering it's running SD650.

Returning an unopened nexus 6p and getting a galaxy s7 edge, because I found out I have the money for it. Nexus 6p just seems too big, and I would really like the water resistance and micro sd slot. Worried about touchwiz, hopefully it's not too bad.

>>54896184
So the assumption about HTC making the new nexus were a hoax?

>>54896328
Marshmallow touchwiz is fine. You can debloat without root and there are free material themes on the Samsung store.

>>54896355
There might still be a tablet, or even a small ~4.5" device yet. Nothing is confirmed.

>>54896355
HTC will make the smaller N5X successor and Huawei the 6P successor is my bet.

>>54896355
>>54896375
It's possible Huawei will make a larger phone and HTC will make a smaller one. That's what happened last year with Huawei and LG.

>>54896634

>>54896634
Usually 1- 2 hours a day with 10 hours SoT. Calls don't really drain my battery much since I always have a really strong signal at home.

Is there some version of Flux or something similar on Android? Not the one that just makes it red, I tried that and it was pretty shit

Fuck, they really know their audience.

Is the g5 as bad as everyone here says? On paper it looks to be my best option.

Things I look for:
Verizon, USA
SD Card Slot (must)
Waterproof
USB C
Metal
fingerprint scanner
not phablet
swap-able battery
low-light camera

aside from the meme-tech modularity of it which doesn't really harm anything besides apparently some phones didn't line up well, and a slight decrease in battery time I don't have a problem with it even though no other modules will probably ever come out. My other thought was the S7 but I really like USB-C and glass backed phones are retarded. Waterproofing sounds very nice though.

Thoughts?

I know it is an apple thing to say that androids lag over time but this is ridiculous.

I recently rooted/installed custom rom (Stock google play store edition) for my HTC one m8 and it is UNBEARABLY slow, it will occasionally have decent speed but holy fuck apps such as snapchat, and chrome are fucking atrocious. I thought by installing a clean ROM it would fix this because when I was running stock it was fast for a while then it started slowing down again. I don't even have that many apps, how do phones slow down so much over time? They always seem lightning quick for 6 months then degrade, way to fix this?

has anyone had any experience with a MSTAR product?

Thinking about getting the 2100.

>>54898323
I honestly don't know what to say. My Nexus 5 and redmi 3 pro are both very smooth, only phone I had issues with was the LG G3, and I blame the 1440p screen for that.

>>54898323
Never had an issue with my Note 4 when I had it, my current 6s Plus doesn't feel much different at all.

Also fingers crossed for a waterproof Note 6 this year. I miss sketching with a real Wacom stylus, 3D touch + finger doesn't cut it.

>>54898323
i have the same experience
do you by any chance have an app called My Data Manager installed? i feel like that might be the reason for why my phone is so slow but i dont know.

other than that yeah, my phones usually gets sluggish after 6-8 months. so fucking annoying.

>>54898533
Glad someone could relate, I looked into it a whiel ago and installed greenify to see what was taking up old resources, and phone was pretty low resource.

USA - Tmobile, Whats important:

-5.0~ screen. Anything bigger probably wont feel right.
-Tmobile 4g LTE support Band 12 a must. Support for other cheap carriers like republic wireless
-Good rear camera - Ideally samsung Galaxy S6 level or close to it.
-SD card 128gb slot.

Budget around $200-250. I just bought a G6 active in mint condition off ebay - clean IEME but it was fucking locked to AT&T and they said it was active on some users account. Now im back to square one with my battery dying 1st gen Moto E.

I have this piece of shit $10 Grocery Store phone and it won't write to the SD card at all even with root and SDFix.
Has Google fixed this issue and let you write to the SD card again? I'm thinking of getting a Note 6 when it comes out.

Is it possible to downgrade from Marshmallow to Lollipop on Verizon phones still?

I know Verizon tried to use some trickery to prevent this sometime back.

Marshmallow is draining my battery much more than lollipop ever did on my galaxy s5 (g900v). That's even after letting it go through several charge cycles.

appears using odin to flash the old software might brick your phone.

Currently have a Moto G, thinking about getting a Galaxy S4. Don't need a whole lot in a phone, but that would be a huge step up. $150 for one nearby that is unlocked and apparently unused. Should I?

Going with MetroPCS next week. I'm new to smartphones and was wondering if the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime was good for the money? I just need something able to tether 4G and is compatible with Metro.

>>54899221
I think you just cant downgrade to kitkat, you should still be able to downgrade to lollipop even with the verizon bootloader limitations.

Hey, my S7 is coming in a few days, what screen protector should I get?
I got a spigen case.

>>54898265

I have a 6P, came from the iPhone 6. It doesn't really feel that big to me. The side bezels are minimal and it doesn't feel that heavy either being that it's an aluminum unibody. If you're coming from anything in the 4"-5" screen range it probably wont freak you out.

>>54900660
How is that even relevant to the post, and if you're butt blasted about no SD get a 128GB version.

But we already know Samsung is working on a foldable phone

I'm planning to get an ASUS Zenfone 3 ZE552KL as soon as it launches in my country this June. I need a midrange phone and my budget is roughly $350. I guess the most important feature for me would be the camera. Second, would be battery life. I'm not expecting anything stellar but it should be decent,

Is there any other phone within that price range that I should be taking a look at? It must already be available or releasing very soon though as I urgently need to replace my phone.

What's the Moto G of chinkshit? I don't wanna spend $100+ since I only use my cel for call, text and maps.

S7

>>54903948
Galaxy S7 / Edge International (Exynos Soc) is objectively the best and most powerful.
Joint 2nd goes to HTC10, S7/E US, LG G5 depending on aesthetic preference.

- at least 5.5" screen, but preferably more than 6"
- bezels as small as possible
- accurate display because i will watch movies and shits on it
- already have a dumb phone for phone shits so this phablet is going to be a media hub
- which also means zero fuck given about bands and service.
- at least 64gb internal, or sdcard slot
- battery wont be a concern, but its better be worth the money i spend.

Nah S7 has much better battery, micro sd support, waterproof and because it's still new you'll get full 2 years of software updates.

>>54905497
How do the Android versions work? Is it possible to update from Kit Kat to Lollipop to Marshmallow etc or is does a certain versions get locked to a device with upgrades for a couple of years?

>>54905526
Depends on device and manufacturer. A good flagship will typically see 2 major version updates, ie launch with marshmallow, later updated to N then O. You will also get monthly cumulative security updates. A lesser phone will likely not get any major update and only occasional bug fixes.

I've been a die-hard WP user for the last few years. My first smartphone was a Lumia 900 and after that I bought a Lumia 920, which I still use today. It's getting time for a new phone and with more and more negative news on Windows Mobile I've decided it's time to leave the sinking ship and head over the Android.

Right now, I've got my eyes on the Moto G4 Plus, which comes out somewhere this month. It's fairly cheap, runs near-stock Android, has a good future for updates and has Active Display, which I really like, because it's somewhat like Lumia Glance, which I thought was a great feature on my L920.

I'm not a very heavy user and I hate gaming on a cell phone. I will use it for practical and social stuff only. Is there any reason for me not to get this phone or are there better alternatives in the €250-400 price range?

For android is it possible to get that some magnifying glass that iphones have when you hover over text?

Who here has a OP2? I got one recently, it's with the stock LP ROM, what do you think about it so far and what ROM do you use?

I really like it so far, but I feel a bit of lag while using it, some say it's much better with MM, but I'm hesitant about upgrading.

>>54896184
So I was thinking of buying an Xiamoi redmi note 3 Pro

But on the website or says it hs android 5.0.1 lollipop.

Does it come with lollipop? I've watched a few reviews on it and it has the xiamoi OS on it.

>>54904547

Probably an overclocked 820 or 8890 like the note 5.

seems like redmi 3 pro and mi 4c are best value since you can get those 2 much cheaper than the others.

Anyone know the difference between them?

>>54906560
Yes. It is a modified version of Lollipop.

Need help with mi Redmi 3 Pro, malware global rom installed (TopOne store from Ali), so I need to flash and install the global rom myself. Waiting now for a long time for the sms to unlock so is there another way? If TopOne flashed and installed a global rom, shouldn't the phone be unlocked already by now? Thx!

hmm reckon 2GB of ram makes that much of difference compared to 3GB?

>girlfriend's phone broke (nexus 5, water damage)
>her options are pretty much S6, iphone 6, G4, S5 neo if she stays with current provider
>or 5x, moto x play if she changes plan
obviously she wants to stay with her current plan since simplicity, but she doesn't want the s5 or g4, meaning she'll have to pay ~$400 ON TOP OF her current 2 year plan

are there any decent phones off contract for a similar price? I don't think I'd tell her to get some $200 chinkphone, but maybe one plus?

>>54906685
>>54906949
Nexus 6P

>>54907443
2gb is quite enough for me, but i dont play any games on my phone. The expandable storage and yet again the better battery would have me tend towards the redmi 3

There's a security update of some sort available for my first gen moto g lte. I'm rooted, so I can't just do it how I do normal OTA updates. I grabed the file using a file explorer and placed it onto SD memory, and tried to flash it using TWRP and Flashfire, but it would not work. If I do it through flashfire, I get some sort of error saying that there were "unexpected conditions" or something like that, and if I do it through recovery it just gives me an error but does not specify what is wrong.

I want to know what is the proper way to go about flashing an OTA update without removing root, since I already tried that and it did not make a difference.

>>54907560

Indeed it is.

It will most likely get Android N before being dropped and has quite the active xda community, so i wouldn't mind that too much.

There's also a 3GB of the Redmi 3.

Not really smartphone related, but I guess it's appropriate to ask here.

Do any of any of you have any experience with the Amazon Fire 7 Tablet? You know that one that's $50, I'm getting one as a gift, I haven't received it yet, but I've heard many negative things about its modified android version (bloatware, advertisement, locked down setttings, etc.) so I'm planning to install a version of CM in it.

I was wondering if any of you had any experience with this particular tablet and custom roms? I still plan to use it with the stock software until the Amazon prime 30 days trial runs out.

>>54907140
Send a request again. it shouldn't take more than a few days.

>>54906044
I'd wait till September for the 7 if you're on the fence about the 6s, famalam.

Putting CM on it was a fucking huge improvement.

>killed my LG G4 by forgetting it in my pocket and jumping in the pool

I'm in a bad spot /spg/. I need a phone for preferably less than $200 CAD unlocked and without a contract. I don't give a shit about cutting edge specs, just battery life and reliability.

Any suggestions?

>>54907282
G4, the camera is better than either, and everything else about it is on par or better than those two phones, senpai.

lol, u mad

But what else do you expect?
It is still supported with clean AOSP roms by Google themselves.
So who would bother making a generic Marshmallow ROM for it right now, when there is no need at all?
What counts is how many people own one, and the answer to that is many.

This is why I have a moto g 3rd gen.

>>54908451
No, OP3 is launching in a week.

>>54908232
I have Project Fi with a Nexus 6P

Would never go back to Sprint and I enjoy my <$40 every month. Coverage with Sprint/TMobile networks is also very good were I live.

Also, one thing that most people don't think about is how easy it is to use their website or to pay the bill. I've had Sprint and Verizon in the past and it's damn near impossible to get past the bloat on their websites for normies.

>>54908493
A 6P costs $420 right now, would you recommend getting one or holding off for the next model?

>>54908451
I got a used one recently, but I don't care about the OP3 because these phones are so rare in my small 3rd world country, this is the first time I was able to see one, I couldn't let it get away from me, there are some other chink phones but their software is just horrible.

It's a good phone for the price, software needs some optimization I feel, and MM is taking a long time to arrive, other than that, it's great.

I would have waited for the OP3 if I could.

>>54908538

I came from an HTC OneM8 and my only gripe is the size of this thing. It will never sit as comforatbly in a single hand. Otherwise, I love everything about it. It's fast and doesn't have any hiccups, especially thing fingerprint reader on the back.

A friend of mine opted for the cheaper 5X, she's happy with it and is a app-heavy user.

I can see myself holding onto this phone for another 1 1/2 years easy.

>>54908493
how do data caps work on project fi?

i have a grandfathered unlimited data plan from verizon so i use like 30gb a month easily and pay $60

>>54908649
Not the guy you were replying to, but it's $10 a gb, not intended for that kind of heavy use. I only use (at most) 3gb in a month so it's perfect for me. I would just keep your plan-a grandfathered unlimited plan from Verizon is very lucky.

>>54908649

If you have an unlimited plan still (not sure how) you should stick with it. From what I remember with Verizon, they would force you off if you wanted a new phone.

On Project Fi every GB is 10USD. 100MB 1USD...down to the pennies.

I signed up for the 2GB plan ($20 call/text, $20 for 2GB, 40 total) but I only use around 1.5GB/month so I'm usually paying $35/month.

Anything over or under your plan is exactly the same. If you use 10GB it's $100. Flat fee.

>>54908538
When is the next one coming?

>>54908232
Great if you hate mobile data with all of your heart. I was charged over $100 for a month of use. Immediately sold my nexus 5x and got a boost mobile phone with their unlimited high speed $55 plan. I've been using 40GB of data each month with 0 problems so far.

>>54908763
Announcement around October like always

>>54908698
>(not sure how) you should stick with it. From what I remember with Verizon, they would force you off if you wanted a new phone.

they only force you off if you get a new phone on contract from them
if you buy a phone elsewhere then swap sims/activate on verizon, you keep the plan.

it's good though, because i makes me consider other phones i wouldn't otherwise, went with a 6p myself for the custom rom potential and it's a nexus so it'll get custom rom support FOREVER

I need to buy a new phone TODAY for work purposes, as my moto g2 decided to simply drop dead (or at least it's touch did). This means no chink phones since I need something easy to find.
So what should I look into, is still the moto g series the best bang for the buck? They just released the moto g4 which has quite nice specs for the price, but I'm not sure how the market is right now.
My budget is around $200, what do you recommend /g/?

Both have confirmed to support the important LTE bands used in Europe.

But both are barely available in even China yet.

The big issues with this argument are that:
A) the people who use it are retarded and can't come up with anything else
B) Christians went through a lot of really dumb shit like the Crusades and witch burning and all that shit HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO. Is the entire civilized world supposed to wait hundreds of years more for Islam to grow the fuck up and get past beheadings and Jihad? Yeah, fuck you.

And even if we did, great, now Islam would be caught up to all the violent/crazy things Christians do today while the rest of the world, including Christians, have moved on.

Yeah, ignore those living outside their borders, those protesters do not exist and do not threaten the western world in any way.

Let's also the ignore the antisemitic majority of muslims both in muslim and non-muslim nations, it's not like they are fueling the hatred for the western world with their belief and creating radicalized fanatics willing to commit jihad.

Let's also ignore the daily religious attacks within muslim nations that affects their very own people, the very believers of Islam. Is not like they are victim of their peaceful religion in anyway, they are living peaceful, comfortable lives, just praying and shit.

Are there smartphones, other than Sony, that are both waterproof and have clean Android?

I am looking to buy a new smarthphone,and i am torn between:

OneplusX
Xiaomi redmi 3

The main reason i was gonna spend the extra 90euros for oneplusx is because it supposedly has much better build quality and better support.
Also other recommendations for a 5" phone at that price range are welcome.

>>54909278
Yeah, it's really nice

>>54910491

>much better build quality and better support

Last thing i heard was that their support is quite shite, e.g. you have to let the chinks access your PC via remote desktop.
Build quality likely is better, but you might just put a case on your Xiaomi.
So I'd rather spend the extra money on the Pro version of the redmi.

>>54911218
Its fuckall huge, like annoying to have in a pocket huge.
The buttons on the back pissed me off to no end.
The gimmick little screen on top is both pointless and has terrible burn in after only like 6 months of use.

The huge replacable battery and the sdcard slot were the main draws for me, but I couldnt ignore the above as a daily driver.

So far though the HTC10 is beating it, the battery last longer (although its not replacable) and it sill has the sd slot.
The only thing I dont like about it is USB-C, but thats more of a growing pain than anything else.
