hmm. A friend told me that Xiaomi's MUI or whatever was shit anyway and I'd have flashed another ROM there anyways, but if I see that it works fine with the official one, then I'll just stuck on it.

Also uBlock blocked geekbuy so that's why I wasn't very secure about it. I'll order it now, I think there is a coupon.

>>55793497
I've bought non-phone products from GeekBuying and they are pretty legit.

I've heard though that like most Xiaomi resellers, they do flash a custom ROM probably with chinky spyware so you'll need to flash it again with Xiaomi's official global ROM.

Just my two cents

Help.

I am moving from an S4 to a new phone but a lot of accounts (an email, twitter, instagram.. some others) are linked to a dead email and I'll lose them forever if I can't move them to my new one.

Horrible issue but I need to turn my old phone in to AT*T within the week so I don't have time to contact sites for support.

Does Androids Tap & Go move accounts like that without requiring password re-entry? What do?
>>
>>55794074
No, you can't flash using this method unless your bootloader is unlocked.

You can flash via edl with a locked bootloader:

I bought the RN3P for 125 yoyos while it was cheap for some reason (2GB version)

It will come with a locked bootloader, you can unlock it the official way by applying for the code, OR, you can flash your phone with the global MIUI rom, but replace its bootloader with an already unlocked one. That's what I did, it took me less than an hour from googling it to it being done.

Then I flashed TWRP and installed mokee ROM. It's basically CM13 (6.0.1), it even has a fully stable release branch that I'm using.

I'm chuffed. Only issue is I can't seem to get any LTE, only H+, I know RN3P doesn't do 800mhz, but it does do 1800, and I would have thought I could get that in my area, but it can't seem to find it.

The official CM13 team aren't developing for RN3P, mokee is the closest analogue, hell the site even looks like CM's site, other pure CM13 roms for the RN3P are hackjobs by xdadeveloper users. They may work just fine, but for daily driver use, you can't beat mokees stable release cycle. It should have OTA updates like true CM13 too.

I have a plastic one. Vikuti or something…
The secret is to apply it on the new phone, directly after removing the factory protector on it, and to do it in an environment as dust free as possible. If you dont have acccess to a clean room, your shower cabin directly after a shower should work well enough.

I dont get the glass ones. Way too thick, and yes, they do protect the real screen, but still, you run around with a cracked screen. The palstic probably absorbs a little bit of impact.

I was gonna start a thread but I see this thread exist

OK so listen

My phone is brain dead or dying, or is dead.
It wont turn off. I dropped it from bike few days ago and screen cracked but I phone seem to work. Today I was gonna take pictures and the phone froze and turned off, the phone felt hot. Now its cold down but wont start.

So what Im asking is (unless /g/ dont know how to fix my problem)
What new phone should I get?

I prefer not to pay full price the cost of a new iphone. I see there ius a ihpone 5s for around 300 bucks/ 300 euros. Is iphone good phone in general? does the battery last for years? I heard it self breaks after 1-2 year so you are forced to buy a new one. So i dont really trust apple.

No, if you listen to ZTE assuring everyone that they'll have Android N out for the phone.

Very solid phone for the price, and if it gets unlocked it'd be a no-brainer buy for me.

I don't know about Tap & Go, but if your phone remembers the passwords for your accounts, then that should mean that they are stored on your phone unencrypted (but still most likely obfuscated, like k-9 mail stores them in base64, which is easily just converted).

You can google around on how your apps store their passwords, and then recover them.

With greenify + auto-off wifi, and running only low-impact stuff in the background, I get about 2 hours of screen on time on average.

With all that plus disabling location, LTE, and extraneous stuff, I can push it to about 2.5. If you can make sure the battery is fresh or root yours, you might be able to extend it, but I've used this one a year and the battery has been pretty mediocre throughout.

Why has the smartphone market stagnated so much? apps, nothing new phones nothing mindblowing, creativity dead.

It's too boring now. No point in even owning a flagshit because every phone does the same shit just maybe 10% slower.
>>
>>55803125

Mobile computing needs a new user interface. There's only so much you can do with a touchscreen and that's why they've stagnated.

Voice interface requires something near-singularity to occur before it becomes reliable enough, so it's out.

Augmented reality is the hottest approach now but it requires chunky unfashionable eyewear that hasn't caught on. Pokemon Go is working around this by using the camera but this is awkward and terribly power inefficient.

yeah buddy. Hope everything works out.

Comparing my oneplus one to the moto x pure so far, got a few things to note:

-Moto X Pure feels so much nicer. The Rubber back is slick as fuck in the hand. The metal band is nice too.
-It is at about twice as thick as the oneplus one, but honestly isn't that overwhelming.
-Pure's screen beats the fuck out of the 1+1 screen without a doubt. Colors pop so much nicer, the higher resolution is immediately noticeable.
-Length and weight wise, they're nearly the same, so the only thing that needs getting used to is on screen buttons and the extra real estate up top.
-Waving to preview notifications is an excellent way to wake up the phone. Was worried about how reliable it would be, but honestly, it seems more reliable than double tap so far.

So I just got some information about a new cheap-range phone coming out soon, and apparently the rumor about sharp having a unruly amount of 5.5" screens just lying around seems to be true.

I'm going to get it anyway, my money is worthless

The Sony Z phones typically come with clean Android, just like the Moto X.

Given the "slow" experience is seen on startup, shutdown and app loading, the 5X is probably using cheaper (slower) NAND than the Z3 did. That's just part of the price difference.

I have an old windows phone and I want to upgrade. I have absolutely no idea about phones these day, where should I start? I use Cricket as my carrier, so I guess I'd need an unlocked phone.

Do you guys have any recommendations? Thanks for any help.

Is the Nexus 6P a good phone?
>>
>>55807336
no

its an excellent phone
>>
>>55806864

My subjective opinion: it's an unattractive phone. The detachable base gives the impression of weakness to the structure of the phone. The primer/paint is thick enough to cover the external antennae but this negates the point of having a metal body.

Otherwise, it seems like a great phone. Above the $500 price point, a phone needs to have no glaring flaws and a wide appeal which the G5 appears to lack. Were it in the $400-$500 bracket, I may well have bought it.

Stock android is more reliable, gets faster updates, and generally is just way better. You know how Dell, Sony and HP assemble computers and put windows on them? Imagine if each of them were like "yeah we can make a better OS than microsoft by modifying their OS with an underpaid team of interns". That's every version of android that isn't stock. Almost every version, at least:

>>55804376
Eh, motorola isn't stock android, but it's SO SO SO close. I went from a nexus 4 to a moto X 2 and it was basically stock + some neat gesture stuff that I actually really liked and was very non-intrusive.
>>
>>55807349
How about the 5X?
>>
>>55807392
great phone
>>
>>55807392

It's a stock Android phone built to a price point. The SD808 is capable but not overwhelming, which sums up the phone, really. The 6P has a metal body and a SD810, which I regard as less desirable but others have a different view.

>Waving to preview notifications is an excellent way to wake up the phone
God I miss my moto x so so fucking much. I broke it a few weeks ago and now I wave my hand over my new phone to check stuff when I'm half awake and then remember I have to fucking unlock it, pull down the notifications and expose my eyes to the bright-as-fuck screen.

For anyone who wants a good stock android phone, the moto x is really really solid.

Motorola is the closest to stock you can get outside of Nexus usually.

What did you get to replace it?

>>55808073
If it's unlocked, it's unlocked and should work. If it's some janky "unlocked" when it really isn't "unlocked", then it won't work.
Anyways, just take your time when going through the procedure. Biggest cause of bricks is people rushing through steps.

Moto X anon here:

Tried to downgrade to 5.1.1. Don't know what it is, as it's not documented. But downgrading to 5.1.1 seems to be impossible for whatever reason. I absolutely can not get it to go no matter what i do. I nearly bricked my entire phone for a while. Installed TWRP via fastboot and it would tell me it couldn't mount any fucking system data or anything. fixed that via fastboot by fucking around, repaired the system partition via fucking backwords ass methods, got the cm13 nightly installed nice and cleanly on there now. booting up as we speak.

fuck sake i'm not getting 5.1.1 on here am i

So, I'm given to understand the Z3C's battery life is significantly worse on lollipop than on marshmallow. How's it on KitKat, though?

>after Nougat hits

I'm starting to think fussing about future Android upgrades is pointless. The devices I've had in the past invariably ended up orphaned on an Android version that was half-heartedly implemented and then never bugfixed.

It seems to me, the best flavor of Android for a given device is usually the one it shipped with. There's just too many variables per device for OEMs to properly backport Android releases.

Go straight to MM mang, battery life is tops. But you'll have to go for a custom ROM so camera performance will be worse.

Hello /spg/,

I had a Motorola XT890i which broke on me today. Figured It's about time to upgrade anyways.

Trying to find a smartphone with a really good DAC.
The best I could find from my research so far is the HTC 10 which has a sepperate AMP and DAC.

My biggest priority is audio because connecting a seperate AMP/DAC would be annoying. The less shit I have to carry around the better.

Battery life, durability, and charge time comes second.

Performance comes third so long as it doesn't run like a turd.

Are there any phones out there that are better tailored to my requirements?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
thank you
>>
So I'm completely new to Android and want to root my LG K4, but there seems to be fuck all information on how to do so other than using Kingroot and Kingoroot, which I've tried, but can't seem to get SuperSU to work so I can get rid of them afterwards. How do I into rooting this shit without getting fucked by the chinese?
>>
>>55811030
app compatibility and consistency.

mainly: nova launcher. there's an code level bug in android 6.0 that fucks with the way some things in nova animates.

i actually just learned that nova finally released an update with a root workaround, so what i ended up doing was going with exodus rom, which comes rooted from the get go.

as a matter of fact, the amount of customization in this rom compared to cm nightlies has me recommending it over anything. works pretty much just like stock moto out of the box, but you can literally tweak everything, even every single action of the onscreen buttons and everything. it's fucking amazing.
