I want Note 7, but it's crazy expensive.

Are there any other large screen phones with functionality similar to the S-Pen?

So hard to find a good phone that supports ATT 4G LTE bands

What is the catch

>>56069651
Chinese support

>>56069651
That it hasn't been announced yet? it's just rumors and it won't launch until the end of September, probably late October for real launch.

I can already predict the new Nexus will be too expensive for me, but I'm looking forward to buying the 6p.

How's the heat management compared to the 5x?
If I use a gaming app, I can't charge the device, no matter if it's a wall plug or a external batt.

>>56069648
No, it overheats.

I just wish there was a phone sub 300 dollars that had a fantastic camera but still functioned ok as a phone

Is there a reason my Nexus 6P gets so damn hot? I run no games or taxing applications and I've even underclocked it by a few hundred MHz. I use Greenify too.

I need help with the iTunes store on my iPhone 4. It's telling me to enter my Apple ID password for an old account that doesn't exist anymore, which I don't even remember the Apple ID password for in the first place. Is there any way to fix this?

>>56070226
Stop shilling this shit. Anyone in North America who owns this gets shafted by any support.

>>56070306
owning an iphone basically means you admit that you watch superhero movies, play call of duty, listen to american music, like white women, like big tits, have a car as your desktop wallpaper, know only one language, like your steaks medium rare, eat your burger before you eat your fries

you might as well post your facebook and tell everyone how you and jamal met saquesha at subway

>>56070347
I own an iPhone because my old iPod from 2006 was fucking up and I needed a more efficient way to listen to music, and I also wanted to have a mobile phone in case I ever needed to call someone. I don't own any other Apple products.

>>56070381
what, do you buy your music?

Project ara. Criticisms? Do you think it'll be as great as Google says? As is I would be ecstatic to get my hands on one when it's released to the public.

>>56070398
No. Most of my shit doesn't even have an album cover.

is there any reason i shouldn't upgrade to the LG G5?

>>56070236
I think what's going on is that you're supposed to sign in with the Apple ID that you bought the phone with, and that's where I'm fucked. I forgot my original ID a long time ago, and I got a new one yesterday.

Is it better to buy an unlocked phone or buy the same phone but under a contract for two years for 55$? The phone is somewhere around 700$.

>>56070808
Exact predicament I was in a few months ago.
I thought about it in the long run, how much will each choice cost? And if you go with the contract, are you ok with that minimum monthly cost / cell provider?
In Canada a phone off contract would be about $500 with a nexus then a BYOD plan would be $35. Comparing a similar device to a nexus (in specs), with a 2 year contract and a $50-60 monthly, it came to be almost $250-$300 more.
By saving money, having more plan freedom, but having to spend more up front, I was willing to do so.

I really want to get a OnePlus 3. Currently have a OnePlus X. Advice, /g/? .

>>56071042
The part that kills the OnePlus 3 for me is the fact that there is no microSD card slot. Other than that, the phone looks great. You'd be getting a huge upgrade in the GPU department and a small one in the CPU. I don't know why anyone would want to record 2k video, but thats my opinion. A small upgrade but probably noticeable in your camera megapixels. That's pretty much all I have to say for it. Don't know if the price tag suits the phone, but it does compete very well with newer phones in the price. Considering the ability to insert an SD card has been removed and the capacity being limited to 64 GB of storage, I don't think I will be personally getting this phone.

>>56070136
Refurbished G4?

What's the current state of phone affairs?
Stagnant? Progressing? Any features actually useful or is it all about scanning my fingerprint and collecting my DNA every time I hold the phone?

>>56070403

>>56070589

Anyone with a Verizon S7 know if they've pushed a fix for Quadrooter yet? I'd like to get that phone but I'd rather wait until I'm not going to join a Russian botnet.

>>56070236
Give it back Tyrone

>>56070236
All I'm gonna tell you is to find a way to delete the setup.app.

Then flash a new firmware after that so you can use your phone properly, and even put a lock on it like now.

>muh camera
I've owned at least 15 different cell phones over the last 12 years and could count on one hand the number of pictures I've taken with them.

comment on the quality of sound on s7 edge please. not the speakers.

>>56073850
The Snapdragon 810 has well known overheating issues though, but I heard that Oneplus managed to smoothen the experience with recent updates, so it's a good buy.

If you somehow can bump your budget to €400, the OP3 is a no-brainer.

>>56074085
That's impossible senpai, if you can live without a microSD slot, get the Galaxy S6.

Otherwise a Oneplus 3, but it's big and there's no mSD slot either.

Only other thing I can think of is the Xperia Z5.

>>56073850
op2 should be fine unless you care about storage. 65gb max/no sdcard slot. i'd get op2 anyway though.

Always get what is free

>>56072531
S7 edge

>>56074472
I could sell both the iphone and my s5 that I've got lying somewhere around here.
Means Id get the OP3 theoretically "free" too. I can't decide though.
I've always been happy with using iphones and when I switched from an 5s to the s5 I was blown away at first. I love android but I was soon disappointed by Samsung because it started to lagg like hell. I'm not that into custom roms in fear of breaking things.
I thought because of the near to stock android experience the OP3 would suit me well.

Are all Xiaomi devices good or should I be aware of some exceptions when I'm buying?

Also, any wearables that let you control music players when your phone is locked and in your pocket?

Nexus 5X for 200€ deal or no?

Mi5 or OP3?

>>56074453

Well that did not help at all.
Id take an iphone with its flaws over a Samsung lagg 7 edge anytime.
Wait another year and it's unusable without mods.
I think I should go for the iphone

>Well that did not help at all.
>Id take an iphone with its flaws over a Samsung lagg 7 edge anytime.
Then what was the point of your question?

>Wait another year and it's unusable without mods.
I stall Nova launcher, uninstall/disable apps you don't beed, and clean app cache every month and it will stay fast and usable for many ywars.

>I think I should go for the iphone
Your call m8, though you're gonna get fucked up the ass with all those flaws. That iPhone also only has 2GB of RAM so expect shit to have to constantly reload after you amass a little bit of app cache over a few days.

I can get a redmi note 3 pro 3gb 32 gb version, but it's 285 euros where I live.
Which is way too overpiced, but getting one from china means no warranty.
What to do?

>>56074935
Well in the most videos/comparisons the iphone outshines the s7 in loading speed and especially reloading apps.
The s7 had to reload almost every game while the iphone and them still storage.
I prefer less ram with better optimization and thus better performance. And the nova launcher does shit. It's just for optics and won't boost performance that much

I'm not hating on android in fact I really liked it and would love to have another experiences in the future but never again with Samsung.
I wanted to give the nexus devices a chance and since the OP3 is rather cheap and close to stock android I might as well try I

>>56075030
The picture lists subjective options that aren't even right most of the times.
People consider iphones bad because of their software mostly

>hurr durr I can't use muh turrents
Well don't be a cheap fag and actually spend the god damn 99 cents

And anyone that uses anything above 64 GB has never heard of a laptop it seems.

While these are a couple of things I don't get the hate.
Use the phone that you like and that's it.
Competition only favours the consumer so if apple continues raising their prices more companies will lower theirs to catch their fanbase

Not being able to DL over 100MB files without WiFi. Makes it useless for eurofags with cheap unlimited fast as fug LTE without Wifi access. And it's a fucking annoyance for everyone else too.

Are you sure you did a full wipe? There could be remnant files from CM interfering with the clean OS.

I need a phone with following features:
- waterproof
- decent camera
- good battery life

I currently have Sony Xperia M4 Aqua but the camera is fucking atrocious (extremely slow and bad image quality) and it has only 8 GB storage of which only 1 GB is availale to the user because the phone is full of bloatware.

>>56078295

I'm trying to use advance wipe instead of factory in twrp and restoring the stock backup again

How do rootfags update their OS?

Do you unroot your phone and re-root it?

I'm reluctant to mess around with my main phone due to the security issues...

>>56078324
I don't. If you don't install pirated apks on your phone, you'll be fine without the very latest security updates

Root has too many benefits not to do it.

j7 has superamoled screen, flash on front facing camera, 1500 mhz processors. zte lacks these and runs 1200 mhz processors. you'll have longer/more support for the j7 as well. processor speed difference should not be significant but i'd get the s7 because of the reasons i listed. i have no idea about their prices though, so you can completely ignore my comment.

Can you google translate what it asks? I think it wants your phone number for the sms.

>>56079269
No one makes waterproof phones anymore, though luck.

>>56079304

OK I'm in and it's asking for telephone number ... does this lock in me in anyway with my current number or phone?

Again, the phone is not in my hand and I will be ditching this current number/carrier/phone (htc).

Just want to get this ball rolling so I can flash on day one.

>>56079099
>Honorbuy
Saves me 100 euros, thanks.
One year warranty less, but it's not like that really matters for a phone like this.

>>56079386
>does this lock in me in anyway with my current number or phone?
Yes, the Mi account is linked to your device via your phone number and it has permission to proceed with bootloader unlock.

If you change your number, you lose that permission.

Might wanna flash the global ROM instead when you get it as you don't need unlocked bootloader for that one.

>>56079440
They have an EU Warehouse as well (avoiding customs), but:
>Holiday Notice:Our EU warehouse will be on holiday from 13 August to 21 August 2016.China warehouse work as normal.

So bear in mind it only ships August 22nd .

>>56079445

So I would need to receive the code or w.e this phone number thing does ON the rn3p itself?

Fuck ok never mind all this then.

>>56079445
>>56079556

one last stupid-idiot question.

I don't need to unlock the bootloader with this redmeme account thing to flash the global rom?

My end goal was to run the global rom until CM 13 or w.e version it is is stable and ready, anyways.

Thanks for the replies, anon.

Yep. it takes 3-4 days though until they respond, nothing crazy.

>>56079585
Yes, you can flash the global rom with a locked bootloader via EDL method.

A bit tricky but nothing too complex, you can do it in 20 mins.

I haven't unlocked mine yet, but I believe it verifies the number you used to apply for unlocking privileges with the number in the phone's settings.

What else is there with a removable battery and an sd card slot?

I guess the removable battery isn't as important since I usually only needed to use it to replace failing batteries or to do hard resets when my S4 froze it looks like the other best option is a Note 4 or 7; but i'm not really a huge fan of touchwiz

Best navigation app for Android? I don't mind Google Maps, but if there's something better that I should know about, I'm all ears.

Boys, I'm really confused here.

I'm looking at different Xiaomi phones right now. The RN3P is too big for me, so I'm left with The Redmi 3 Pro or the Redmi 3s, right? Is there also a Redmi 3s Pro? Because this shop has it listed, but I cannot find a single YouTube video on it.

Only LG does removable batteries nowadays.

Redmi 3 = SD616
Redmi 3s = SD430 (it's faster, ignore the Qualcomm stupid numbering system). 2/16 gb ram/rom.
Redmi 3s pro / prime = same thing just 3/32 gb ram/rom.

>>56080091
Redmi 3s Prime is the 32GB/3GB version. It's the one I'm trying to flash at the moment.

>>56080109
Dude, it doesn't matter, it's just the driver, if it recognizes it then your'e good. just flash it m8.

p.s. Are you sure your'e running a chinked version? there was an anon last week that wanted to flash it and then realized he had the global rom all along.

The latest CM13 had this in the changelog:

>Fix slow anim when using a gesture to open status bar pulldown

I see no fix for the slow animation on Action Launcher 3. Nova had fixed this ages ago with root.

Pic related. LTE works fine on metropcs. Also I recommend flashing a CM13 rom after getting it. LTE is very unstable on MIUI for some reason.

>>56080576
Just get the 3GB Ram version. I don't know if it's because android apps are getting more bloated these days but it seems like 3GB is starting to get a little "tight". On CM13 and MIUI I only have about 1.5-2GB of free memory before running any extra apps.

>>56081171
Okay, so what do I do here?

Please follow these steps to access internal storage:

• Launch 'Settings' application
• Switch to 'COMPLETE SETTINGS' page
• Enter 'Storage' item
• Select 'USB computer connection' from menu
• Check 'Media device(MTP)' option

After driver finish installation, open file explorer to access internal storage.

Sorry for my stupidity. I don't know how to flash it anymore. When I press refresh in miflash it no longer identifies it and it no longer appears under device manager. Anyway, I appreciate you trying help.

Where do you guys pirate .apk files? So many shady sites out there.

Moved to a city and looking to upgrade my first edition Moto G to a similar (if there are any) phone with LTE support. I live in Finland.

What is the current "/g/ phone" which has no bloat, budget price, no fancy hardware but works magic for what it gives? I've loved my Moto G, but I want an upgrade to it.

Can someone help me get a phone? I have Verizon and these cunts want $600 for a god damn phone. Can i get a good android OS phone for cheapy?
i heard the Oneplus 2 is pretty good

>>56081476
Ok let's try that again.
What version of Miflash are you using?
Enable USB Debugging.

Did you boot in download mode by holding vol+ & power
use miFlash "flash all"?

>>56081544
>What version of Miflash are you using?
Initially I was using Version 20151028 as per http://en.miui.com/thread-254606-1-1.html

I've since tried with 2016.04.01.0 and the beta version, but neither have been able to identify the phone.

>Enable USB Debugging.
I did this originally, but I am no longer able to access the phone as it is stuck on the loading screen with the mi logo.

>Did you boot in download mode by holding vol+ & power
Initially, yes. Now doing this only shows me the loading screen.

>use miFlash "flash all"?
Yes.

>>56081508
Nexus 5 desu

>>56081522
There are tons of phones you can get for less than that, but if you really want to save some money get a better carrier.

>>56081684

Download adb drivers from here and install:

If it does, continue to the EDL method in the patebin.

LG G5 vs Moto droid turbo 2 (moto x force in yurop)

I'm hesitating. I can get both for around 400 euros.

- LG G5
Pros
>Best camera
>Better performance
>Removable battery
>More recent
Cons
>Battery life is meh
>Fragile

- Droid turbo 2
Pros
>Good performance
>1.5 to 2 days battery life
>Shatterproof screen
Cons
>It's big
>More recent moto z force already out (but can't get it where I live)
>S810

I'd like to keep this phone for 3 years. Removable battery of the G5 is a good argument, but the screen is not shatterproof like the turbo 2.

Thoughts ?

You are running a non official / chinked version of MiUi that is full of bugs and other crap. you need to flash the correct official version from Xiaomi.

You can follow this video, just make sure to replace the actual flashing file to the correct one.

LG G5.

>Not being able to DL over 100MB files without WiFi.
Literally for what purpose, not even murricans have this shitty internet
In a lot of third world countries the cheapest plans will include at least a 1000 mb of data

>Anyone have any experience with phones with MTK SOCs? Ive seen up to 10 core ones but never seen one in person.
Acceptable performance, acceptable features
Usually they're worse than their Qualcomm counterparts, but quite cheaper, near zero community support since Mediatek doesn't release sources
The Helio series are bretty good performance wise though

>Best navigation app for Android? I don't mind Google Maps, but if there's something better that I should know about, I'm all ears.
Here WeGo (formerly Here Maps, which formerly where Nokia Maps)
Waze
Maps.me
OsmAnd~

I wouldn't consider any of them the best, all of them have some shortcomings

>Will I regret not investing the money for the 3 GB version?
Yes
Not now but in a year or two you will really regret it

>Seems like a nice phone, is there any good reason I should not order it, other than the fact that it looks like it's made by hipsters?
Aside from the fact it's a scam, yeah there's nothing wrong with it

will we ever see a smartphone with numerical keypad for the private user?

My dad bought some random shitty low-end LG device (K8). While it's admirable that modern MTK quadcores make even such cheap phones well performing, the device is crippled due to the lack of storage with the OS taking up almost 5GB by itself. After a couple of normie apps and their caches, my dad's device is under 1GB of free space.

Also, fuck those blue-tinted displays.

Looking to get a new phone, as my S3 is falling apart. Any suggestions for something similarity sized with an mSD slot at about $200-$250 CAD?
