What is so great about clover?

First for Turkey greatest country

Looking forward to the V20.

I want to get my LG G4 because i got a shitty lcd unit that ghost every 5 minutes.
I have been looking into the S7e, s6e+, note5, iphone se and probably a 6s plus if i can get a deal on amazon.

Any suggestion?

>>55872100
Want to get rid*

>>55872100
Traded in my LG G4 for $300 towards a HTC 10, it's okay I guess.

>>55872058

Update your shit!

Loving my k6000 pro so far, battery life is insane and it feels really solid in my hands.
Camera could be better, but it gets the job done. Really liking the design, and the extra weight is a plus for me.

5/7 would buy again

>>55872151
It's from /csg/ and they won't let edit update it.

>>55872063
About once a year I'd wipe it and flash a new custom rom and it was like brand new again. It had all the essential features: unlocked bootloader, replaceable battery, mSD card slot. I wish there was a phone comparable to that now; the closest thing is the RN3P but its chink and doesn't have all US bands. I don't have a lot of confidence that phones out now could last me 4+ years.

>>55872074
All of the features I listed were there in 2014.

>>55872082
>>55871860

>>55872122
Where'd you do that? Shit, that's a pretty good deal.

>>55872307
Verizon

G4 was -$40 when I got it, too (back in October/November). No contracts anymore is p. nice.

>>55872220
I mean its really always gonna be a gamble. You can't wait 5 years to look at a device to see if it will actually last. It's not like buying a used car. The tech updates so quickly in this market that there isn't really time for it.

Just do it bruh. You sound like you need the upgrade and the HTC 10 is the best device build quality wise HTC has ever made. They're taking proper cues in software as well by debilitating their own shit.

>>55872326
Ah. I'm off-carrier. That's an amazing deal though, for a phone that's worth $200 used.

>>55872257
>Can't cross thread preview
>Can't see how many (yous) are on a specific post

It's okay but I still think it needs work. They should make it more like the actual website and take cues from 4chanx.

>>55872359
Yeah I probably will get the HTC 10. It just kills me that it's so hard to find a high quality phone with a replaceable battery now - a feature which essentially doubles the life of the device.

>>55872428
Just trust that it will not be a problem like it was on the s3, that's for fucking sure.

My spouse has been sick lately so I don't have much disposable income but my HTC one m7 is on it's last legs. Can you guys recommend something under $100 that I could flash cyanogenmod on? Currently in the southeastern US with T-Mobile

>>55872803
Oh and if it could be a 4.3 inch screen or smaller that would be ideal

Just bought a galaxy s7 edge off ebay for about £50 cheaper than standard price.
Is it going to be fake? I have no idea how trustworthy big ebay vendors can be

Reposting from the last thread.

What are /spg/'s opinions on protection plans? The 2 year plan for the OP3 is $80.

>>55872936
I mean I wouldn't fucking pay 80 dollars for a chink phone protection plan since the fucking gimmick is that the phone is is supposed to be low price.

But then again, my op3's camera and flashlight died within 24 hours.

Personally I wouldn't even buy a op3 at all after that ordeal. I'd pure gonna she out 80 dollars why not just increase your phone budget total and go for a more reputable brand?

>>55873302
*If you're gonna shell out 80 dollars

AUTOCORRECT REEEEE

>>55873302
What'd you get after your op3 died?

Otherwise, I might opt for Note 7 or new Nexus devices but getting sick of Android shit with poor support and "new OS upgrade" which totally fucks the battery.

Why is the new phone market so bad

>>55873588
What's wrong with the op3s screen?

I've had an iPhone 4S since it came out and it's completely useless now

What phone should I get now? Budget is £500 or something like that

>>55873645
It's a lower quality 1080p screen that's more pixelated by comparison. Not a huge issue but it just speaks to the subtle chinkyness

>>55873588
Get an HTC 10.

I got stuck with about $450 of Amazon credit and can spend a little more, what's a good Android phone to play my shitty Japanese waifu mobages on?

country: USA
carrier: AT&T
budget: probably under $600?
features: gameplay-oriented is a must, but something resistant to damage is a big plus (or recommend me a case/screen protector, please)

>>55873705
Does anyone know HTCs track record for software updates and support?

>>55873391
I was just going to stick with my OnePlus one but im on T-Mobile and it only operates on one of its LTE bands and the wifi antenna is weak as fuck, not to mention the dwindling storage due to my music library. the moto x pure on sale for 250 and i pulled the trigger. Aside from the screen on time, it's a fucking fantastic device. Upgrade in every aspect except for battery, but so long as it can get me through the day I'm cool with it.

Anyone know if they pay for the shipping back or am I fucked with $20+ shipping if I live in Toronto, Canada

>>55874041
Historically their software updates have been somewhat laggardly, but now that they're the next Nexus supplier, that may change.

Or return this battery pack seeing how it's useless when I need it the most

>>55873655
Got an iPhone SE a couple days ago. Fucking LOVING this thing: absolute no lag with anything (crazy performance) combined with perfect ergonomics. A bunch of my friends have 6's / 6S's and the usability, particularly one-handed, is massively compromised. Plus the battery life for my usage is simply epic. I'm coming from an Android phone (having had a bunch of iPhones before) and the software available for iOS is massively more refined; if your budget allows for an iPhone then don't even consider Android imo. The only advantage with Android, apart from price, is ease of piracy. Everything else is janky as fuck.

are the next nexus phones going to be smaller or bigger

>>55874193
They pay for the shipping.

What launchers do people here use aside from the oft-mentioned Nova and Action Launcher 3? I've tried both of them and enjoy them, and I've tried quite a few others, but I haven't been able to settle on one just yet.

Is there any custom ROM except cyanogen ? I want to remove all that bloat shit and have something like archlinux for android

>>55874307

theres no point in using anything but those

>>55874329
Gentoo

I ordered a 6p earlier. Feeling like I fucked up. Should I have gotten a Moto X Pure?

I want something that has a lot of ROM support. Has to be on Verizon.

>>55874399
Moto z?

>>55874193
it's a "no hassle" return policy, so yes, they do pay for the return shipping.

they used fed ex, in my experience shipping my defective one back. so long as you got a good drop off spot, keep the box they send it in and you're good to go.

>>55874329
it's kind of specific to whatever phone you're using. what phone do you have?

>>55874419

Three times the price of the Pure, I dunno.

>>55874275
Smaller. Biggest one is 5.5". I don't mind the damn near 6" Nexus 6P I have, doesn't feel huge.

They're nearly the same phone spec wise. With the moto x you get the 808 instead of the housefire 810, and the sd card slot. with the 6p you get the bigger battery, usb type c and a fingerprint reader you won't use, but no microsd, and a worse camera.

what it really comes down to is how much you bought it for. considering the moto x pure can be had for 200-300 dollars new.

Ok /spg/, let's see if you can help me here...best custom screen locker that isn't bloated to hell and back with shit?, sounds easy?, oh boy it's everything but that, the amount of shitty screen lockers on the play store is massive, the only kinda of decent one is AC display, but is very lack-lusting since it has no security options at all.

any advice?, i really dislike the stock one and want to change it badly

>>55874605

next

>>55874590

I paid $400 for the 6p. Moto X is $295 right now on Amazon.

>>55874643
so you can keep the 6p if it's everything you need it to be, or you can return it, get the moto x pure, buy a 128gb micro sd card for 30 dollars, a case, screen protectors, extra chargers and cables and still be under that 400 dollars.

the only thing you won't get out of this deal are the bleeding edge android updates. but that really isn't a fucking problem unless you're a developer or some shit.

Hey /spg/, I bought a Blackberry Priv and came over to Android from my Q10. I'm a little pissed to see stock Android has such a lame file manager, and more pissed off still that Blackberry didn't include their own like they did with OS 10.

Posting from my Pure now, it's a great phone for $250. You'll need to flash a nightly if you want CM but it's pretty stable. The screen is fuckhuge but the width of the phone is pretty much the same as the 2014 X so it wasn't much of an adjustment for me. Curved back feels good and the plastic is textured nicely. Mostly everything just werks and it all goes well together. Only downside is the 808 but it's doing just fine so far.

My Redmi Note 3 Pro which I liked alot due to the fact it filled all my needs properly has unfortunately bit the dust, I was thinking about getting another one since they are only about 200$ off of eBay (that includes shipping) but I just want to consider any other devices, so I'm asking /spg/, my RN3P on CM used to get 8-10 hours of SOT - varying with usage between the 8-10 hours mark, but i want another device with at least a snapdragon 600 + 2-3gb+ of ram and a 1080p screen is fine, I just really loved that 8-10 hours of screen on time (thanks to its 4000mah battery) and id like it again, preferably with more hardware quality than the Redmi Note 3 Pro, but if no other device offers this + CM (or be bundled with a stock like build) then I'll have to go with buying another one, sorry for ranting on.

>>55875994
>has unfortunately bit the dust
What happened to it?

>>55875994
Go to kimovil.com. Look for the cheapest rn3p

>>55876012
it got trampled on, its a long story, the screen is destroyed, and the battery is destroyed (its like not flat) it would probably cost more to repair than get a new one
>>55876014
id like to leave buying another one to my last choice, for now I'm looking for any other devices that provide great SOT like the RN3P did.

got my new S7 Edge today. Shit was snappy as fuck. Much snappier than my 1 year old zenfone 2. Slow touchwiz is now just a meme

Any decent custom roms out for the blu r1 HD yet?

>>55875668
Yes.

>>55876014
I checked kimovil just to see what devices were there and the letev le max x820 looked amazing for the price, but the 3100mah battery won't cut it with that hungry 820 and high res display I don't think.

If you want to install custom ROMs and have root? OP3. If you don't care and just want something good, the S7. TouchWiz aside, the phone is great according to a co-worker of mine.

You could always just use Nova or similar launcher if TouchWiz really bothers you that bad.

>>55876310
what's your requirement?

>>55876330
No, I was telling him to buy one of those two. That's why I used a period, not a question mark.

Is there any reviewer other than Joshua Vergara or MKBHD that isn't a bias shill?

>>55876330
shit, wrong quote. Sorry m8, meant to reply >>55876301

>>55876330
Camera is quite important to me, but I had the chance to try both in the hands and the OP3's interface seemed to fly compared to the S7.

Maybe that S7 was just a bad unit?

>>55876380
If you were playing with the display model, then keep in mind that thing was on 16 hours a day at full 100% screen brightness with a countless number of apps running in the background more often than not. So opening the camera and having it lag a bit is probably because the phone is just so loaded down with all the shit all the other customers were doing to it.

Or could just be Samsung. You know how they are with bloat.

I'm buying my mom a phone around the 300 euro range. She has been using an Samsung s3 for years now so I'll have to go with android. After looking around I think it's between the Nexus 5x or Huawei Honor 7. I've been using nexus 5 myself and have been fairly happy with it but people say the Honor 7 is really good bang for your buck. Honestly I'm mostly looking for which one has the best long lasting build quality and battery life. Any advice would be helpful.

What is the best way to stream pirated movies on android that does not include malware? I heard of showbox.

>>55874268

Actually I lost my phone at a party 2 weeks ago and Igot my GFs old iPhone 5s 'til I buy my Oneplus 3.

Never had an iPhone before or any Apple product before. It's pretty ok. I was shitting on iPhones before a lot, there's still a lot of crap with iOS, but the optimization is insanely good.

User experience is fine for messenger, pokemon go, spotify and other pleb stuf, even though it's an old phone now, I was surprised.

The whole Apple ID stuff where you have to give your credit card account, mothers name, address and you directly connect to steve jobs's anus in the grave to read a pdf makes my skin crawl tho.

So does the keyboard and the text select, the multitasking, the icons, home screen and the fucking menus, but worst of all the shitty touch ID and the lack of a motherfucking back button.

I'm pretty satisfied with it as a temporary replacement tho and I see how it could be a one size fits all pleb device.

Also having to use virtualbox with fucking windows with fucking iTunes to connect it to a PC using linux is retarded.

>>55876108
I think it's good if you like small iPhones and you don't consume all your media on a phone.

>>55876108
most boring phone ever tho

>>55872100

The iphone 6s plus is the best phone. Blows all the other iphones out of the water and is slightly faster than the s7 Edge. Too big and clunky for me though so I went with the s7 edge. s7 edge has the best looking screen on a phone at the moment. Camera wise the s7 has more vivid color, but the iphone has better detail up close. Quad core and expandable storage makes the s7 a better longterm option.

I've got a moto x 2014. Do I need to upgrade? Or should I wait.

I like Samsung Galaxy s7 because big screen and SD card slot for programming and apps and files. I need an otg hub that lets me charge and use USB ports at the same time.

>>55877203
you could tuff out one more year before it gets to feel real dated. by about this time next year there will be a good lineup of new stuff to check out. oneplus will most likely have another iteration, more xiaomi chinky devices, more htc and samsung, maybe moto might even make a decent phone.

>>55877203
Depends. If you're truly running out of space and it's bothering you, get something with a micro SD slot. The s6/7 phones are great, but again as I mentioned earlier in the thread, if root and custom ROM support are a priority for you, find something else. Samsung phones and devices are notoriously difficult to break when it comes to getting root, and getting it to play nice with a ROM. Especially if the phone is a carrier branded one.

You already have a Motorola moto X 2014, why not buy the Motorola moto X pure? $400 brand new. 32GB internal and a caddy that shares the same space as the sim card. It's what in posting from right now. Got me a Kingston class 10 64GB microSD card for $12.

With most half way decent phones having a default camera resolution of 5k+, pictures and recording adds up real quick. And with Samsung having released their 250GB microSD card, other companies are sure to follow, driving prices way down as well as all other capacities, specifically 128GB. In a few months time, 128GB cards will be $15. If that.

>>55877373
G4. Great phone overall and ZeroLemon even makes a 7k mah battery case for it.

5X if you MUST have custom ROM and root (which I think even the G4 of all variants has now). I hear the 5X has some sort of battery issue though? Or just shit battery overall.

The build quality is pretty damn good, the phone feels solid and I enjoy holding it
Navigation was a bit weird to start but ive got the hang of it now, mainly because I came from a note 3 and havnt used a proper keypad in a while
Screens are alright, but being 480x800 4" display they obviously arent going to be as nice as most other handsets

Come across 3 problems so far
Keypad feels cheap compared to the rest of the phone, even the battery cover feels higher quality. Theres lag when using the volume rocker and its top heavy even with the battery installed

Well Samsung devices come with the ability to do mu,time windows by default where as other devices sometimes require a bit of work (and root) to get working. Pic related is multi window on my super budget tier Galaxy tab A.

And if you use YouTube just for audio, root allows for the ability to run YouTube in the background, as does the YouTube red subscription.

No one said anything about removing. More just replacing. And TouchWiz is not the OS. Android is. TouchWiz Is the Samsung launcher/UI.

Not the same guy as was asking the budget. But they always come out somewhat overpriced. Especially since the 5.5" version will allegedly be 32GB or 128GB, so you can expect a $120 markup for more storage on a phone that's likely $500 baseline.

Nexus 6P is a plastic phone with a metallic back
Oneplus 3 is a full metal frame, much better built.

Only downside of the OP3 is that it badly needs a software fix for the video stabilization, so far it's unusable. If that doesn't hurt you too much, it's a no-contest, the 6P isn't built to withstand use.

I pretty much use basic phone features but my 5x lacked good audio speakers / call quality / headphone quality / battery / overheating issues which actually stops me from playing games and charging the device at the same time.

Did I make a mistake with the OP3?
Or should I hold onto my 5x until the next line of Nexus comes out and decide then?

OP3 here, never gets hot.

I'm interested in the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro but I'm on AT&T. I looked it up and only the global version supports AT&T's 4G band, but I can't find it for sale anywhere.

Am I just bad at searching or is the global note 3 pro not out yet?

Don't really have a budget but I'm finding it hard to justify a £500-700 phone over a OP3/Xiaomi 5, only thing that make's me hesitate on the OP3 is no SD card slot and being able to use CM on a OP3 compared to no CM yet for Galaxy 7 series is a +.

I'm still using a Galaxy Note 2 (720 x 1280) so anythings going to be a huge upgrade for me.

I'm not a heavy phone user though I'd like enough space for music and some emulators (usb-c -> hdmi with a bluetooth controller sounded good to me as well)

Any reason I shouldn't get a OP3 or any reason I should get a Galaxy 7/Edge, HTC 10, LG G5? Or maybe wait and see how much the 7 note is.

My HTC 626 has the boot loader locked by Verizon. Is there any way I can root my phone or am I boned?

Need help buying a decent phone guys.
Location: England
Price range: 200-300 quid

can extend budget a little depending on how good the phone is

Giving up on the Huawei P8 lite.

There are a few Roms in development by a bunch of rookie devs, but they're all for the Kirin variant and I have an ALE-L04.

EMUI isn't terrible, not a lot of bloat and it looks pretty okay, but MM is likely not being made for the Qualcomm variant.

With the Qualcomm variant your customization ends with xposed, and even then a lot of features in gravitybox are buggy.

It's easy to unlock, flash a custom recovery and root. I got caught in a bootloop trying to flash the xposed framework but after doing a stock recovery and rooting again it worked fine.

As far as chink shit under 200 it's pretty good, but I highly recommend staying away from the Qualcomm variant if you ever want to see an update for this handset.

What made the RN3P attractive is the powerful SoC and huge battery. sadly that is something nearly no one else offers. the other chickphones with huge batteries K6000 Pro/Ulefone Power/Leagoo Shark 1 all come with MTK6753 which is quite weak.

More than enough to keep you through the day.

Coming from a Galaxy S5, I was pleasantly surprised.

>>55883707
4.5 is good enough for me, though I can never complain about more.
But I've heard stats all over the place from owners, 3hrs, 4hrs, 5hrs, and some even getting upwards of 6.

>ES file explorer
Yeah, maybe two years ago. It's literally bloated with actual botnet right now.
I moved to Solid Explorer, pretty happy.

Some anon had a thread last week where he claimed his phone started brute force attacks on his LAN after installing ES File Explorer.

I've switched to MiXplorer from XDA. Amaze doesn't work right now with SMB (looks like a formatting error with username login) and I had already used my trial with Solid Explorer some time ago.

Sorry, my bad. FX File Explorer and Solid Explorer are decent alternatives.

>>55883733
I get over 5h SOT easily but I gotta admit I'm not the most heavy user there exists.

Thinking of getting an S7 Edge but I don't know that much about phones and haven't been paying attention for the last few years.

Currently have an iPhone 5c, now that I'm not broke I want to get something decent. Anything better to buy straight up for ~£600? Things I definitely want are a microSD slot and a big-ish screen.

>>55881142
I'd say that's pretty good senpai. Mine used to do 4.5 to 5 hours with custom roms

>>55883801
>12h to charge phone
wow

I still use a plebberry z10 from 2013.
Last year i jumped into the pool with it and now the micophone is fucking up. Also whatsapp support is gone after 31/12/2015.
Do you guys think I can just install the android app.
Can't get a new phone right now because i'm a poorfag

>>55883956
>hue

>>55883916
S7 edge is a good choice senpai. :)

>>55879263
Features aka hardware is worth zero, if the softwares can't extract the best out of it.

Even though on paper, the Axon 7 camera is better, in reality it is way worse than the OP3.

blu erergy

there's one for $100 with a 4000 kwh battery

Are there any phones that can record at 4k 60fps? Or do I have to wait until snapdragon 899

>>55884172
That's a battery life chart you stupid mongoloid. OP3 a shit.

>samsung bloat
>htc has a terrible UI
>nexus has no micro sd slots
>sony overheats
>chinkphones have terrible cameras
>lg have lots of bugs

why is it so hard to make a phone that just werks and has the works

>>55884224
look at title you dumb twat

>>55884254
I feel the same way, I wish I could just combine shit like a OP3 with the HTC10 and make it cost less than $650

(you)

budget : 200-300 CAD

usage : emergency phone (few minutes, no data), play music in the car, pictures

priorities : battery life, camera quality, build quality, small size

What do?

Are there any phones that can record at 4k 60fps?

anybody used letv le max 2? if so, what do you think about it?

really interested in it

>>55884530
Don't think anyone actually bought it yet, but they are rumored to launch in the U.S soon.

What? Don't most people like sense?

Are there any phones that can record at 4k 60fps?

>>55884077
Thanks senpai, hope you're not sarcasm-ing me

>>55884700
I always want to try the Google now launcher but then I quickly realize that it's just nowhere near nova launcher

If it supported gestures and icon packs maybe I'd be more inclined to try it

I fucking hated it on all their previous devices, but the version they have on the 10 is actually good.
