Even with $20 DHL shipping it's still cheaper and you'll get it in a week.

Finally put Cyanogenmod on s4
Feels excellent.
Does anyone have some tips for me, what else I should do to make the battery last longer?

>>56240055
Looks good but it's not exactly about the money for me, it's more about the warranty and if it arrives correctly.

>>56240137
Well if you're about that why not get a Oneplus 3 directly from their official website and it's 400€

Why are all phones out there so shit?

They all still put old 3000maAh batts into their top device, really you think there is more advancement in this departement, especially considering the hardware is getting more and more powerhungry...

SoTs of 4-6 hours....devastating imo
Those figures need to be doubled!

>>56240171
Because I've heard bad stuff about it's screen. I'm getting sick of phones that have shitty screens that are next to impossible to see in daylight or have shitty colors.

>>56240137
So your'e willing to pay €180 extra for that? why did you even ask about ordering from Ali if your'e not really willing to do it kek

>>56240194
OP3 has one of the best screens for daylight outdoor usage.

The "shitty" screen you've heard of is only due to the reviewers using a magnifier.

Under normal usage, you won't notice any difference.

>>56240194
I have it and honestly I fail to see the shitty screen part... So I don't know... know anyone with a OP3? Check it out I guess..

>>56240217
I am willing to order from ali, but I'm just a bit sceptical about it. Everything I've ordered from ali has had some kind of problem. Probably should've asked about other people's experiences.
>>56240287
Gonna check it out once I'm home from work. Don't know anyone with a OP3 sadly, only OP2 and a few OPX's.

>>56240369
Hopefully next month.

So I am a very casual phone user, about to order a Xiaomi redmi note 3.
For this price, even if it lasts 1 year or some damage happens to it (quite unlikely), it still worth it. Finding a good, reasonably priced AND unlocked phone nowadays is a fucking joke. I dont wan't to spend 300-400 GBP.

>>56240457

also you should order the RN3P.

HTC 10 or iPhone SE? Both cost the same in my country.

I'd like to try a custom rom or something.

>>56242572
I'll try, thanks senpai

Okay one of you guys please fucking respond.

SHOULD I GET THE S7, S7E OR THE ONEPLUS 3?

I'm new to Android roms. Stock has always been enough for me but it's looking like I'll have to venture from nexus devices this year. Gonna try the OP3 but then use CM14 to make sure I have the latest Android. Cyanogen is basically like an OEM skin right? Only it actually improves performance and features instead of making things worse like Touchwiz.

>>56242659
S7E
Gear vr is gucci

Hopped on the OnePlus3 bandwagon, phone will arrive in a couple days.

did I do well, did I fuck up, I haven't found anything that's not good with this phone and Dash charge looks very promising

IPhone, Marlin or sailfish?

I still have a nexus 4. I'm pleased with its longevity but more expensive nexuses mean there isn't now as a huge a price difference with iPhone. Plus they always have issues with battery life and shit cameras.

>>56242036

Need a phone to last me for the next 2 years and not get shit on like my S5 which is breaking easily.

I'd assume finger print scanner that won't shit itself like my s5 and a battery that doesn't deteriorate and can last me at least 8 hours of mild usage.

I think your best bet is finding a Nexus device that has a ZeroLemon case.

My carrier (C Spire) offers the following three android phones for "free" (with a contract)

LG K8
Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime
Motorola Moto E

Which should I get? I'd prefer good battery life and I listen to music and shitpost more than anything else.

>>56243216

So i'm going to be a wageslave for the next few weeks starting from Monday. Although i'm probably going to drop from insomnia, I can appreciate the pay out. ( about 12 hours a day. )

With this taken into account I can finally get myself a better phone to replace my Lumia 640 ( medicore battery life, not enough ram / speed, etc. )

And i'm probably going for a more expensive phone because all of this.

I just want something reliable with high enough clock speeds, at least 2 GB ram and a good battery. Metal design and gimmicks like a fingerprint scanner, etc. are all right by me.

My budget is about 500 Euros and i'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a Huawei P9 when my pay check arrives.

No or go? Recommendations are welcome.

What's the point of Android 7? It has no big features that couldn't be part of a .1 release for Marshmallow. I'm actually kind of flabbergasted they went through the trouble of putting up a big show and building hype for what is essentially a small patch. And Goddamn how long are we gonna be stuck with material design?

God damn this phone is pretty good but the software is just complete garbage!

It's full of weird bugs and things that just baffle me in their retardation.

Coming from Sony this stock-ish Oxygen OS just a crock of shit, but then there's the relelentless bugs and fucked up features.

Also can you recommend me a decent backup and restore app or way to back it up? On Sony there was a built in app that did this, but on OP3 there is nothing.

>>56244862
It isn't just the ROM size though right? 64 and 128 versions have a higher clock speed right? But if it's fine then I can get that 128GB ceramic version without worrying.

Is there any way to fully secure an android device from a factory reset?

I just factory reseted my OP3 because I wanted to install the latest beta thingy they have going on and while I was at it I was trying to check out the theft protection of this piece of shit.

Basically I've resetted it now and I'm stuck at pic related. Unfortunately "find my device" doesn't seem to be able to do anything while the phone is stuck in this state. So how the fuck is someone supposed to protect the phone from theft? From what I can tell this expires after 72 hours and the thief would be able to restore the device using his own account.

>>56245107
Oh and by the way I could factory reset from the built in recovery and it didn't ask me anything. This means someone could easily grab my phone and be an absolute madman and factory reset it and there's nothing I can do about it. I can't believe there is no way to protect these shitphones from theft and factory reseting.

Had my Zenfone2 for a year now. Pretty decent phone, however the front camera has failed for the last month - looking for an alternative as the Intel processor is irritating as fuck. Around $400 mark from bottom line.

>>56245841
how comes there's no Nubia Z11 in this chart?

also for a <200$ chink phone just try a Nubia Z7 Max, way better than similar-priced Xiaomi and has tons of custom roms if you know where to search (Z11 also has some)
both of them also have big internal storage and micro SD slot

>>56245804

Zenfone is not bad but it isn't exactly good, it's intermediate but it's better than getting a IPhone 5S at this point

Moto G4 Plus is the same, don't expect anything outstanding, overheating problems + Lenovo

>>56245841

I'm finding myself wanting to buy an iPhone SE once my current OnePlus One kicks the bucket. I've never owned an iPhone before.

Talk me out of this madness /g/.

>>56245401
Same problem until I rooted with PureNexus and EX Kernel. Don't hesitate, do it now.
(The problem was so great I sold it bc of the heat/battery reasons too)

>>56245949
It is.
I honestly returned it bc of the 1 plus not lasting too long and the poorer service compared to Google. Waiting on the Nexus.

Anyone have a drop test video for the ceramic Mi5?

What's the point in getting the S7E over the S7? Only differences I see is the curved touchscreen gimmick and a larger profile.

hey, any good options for a budget smartphone?
want to buy my dad his first smartphone.
nothing fancy required.
he doesnt have facebook, probably wont be youtubing much, maybe just reading the news, sending some emails and stuff.
the important thing would be solid battery life and ~4" (or a bit less) screen.
thanks for any input.

I ordered the OP3 a few days ago beause the new Nexuses don't seem very compelling. They'll run the newest android and get updated right away sure but the price of the OP3 is just too good for what you get. Custom ROMs will eventually be better than Google stock anyway.

They won't be able to factory reset it unless they have access to the phone anyway.
Also if your bootloader is unlocked there's not much point since they can simply flash over whatever you've installed

>>56248111
>They won't be able to factory reset it unless they have access to the phone anyway.

It's as easy as turning off the phone and doing the combination for recovery, then selecting factory reset.

A lot of people don't like being locked into a contract, and in many places you can get more data for less money with no contract.

I have to be on contract because of where I'm living (you can't really get a phone off contract here) but once I'm back in the US i expect I won't bother with one.

If you want it, then why not just get it? You just said its what you want, dude.

>>56247706
Ayooo

I've been using RR for most of 2016. Occasionally I get strange bootloops that force me to reflash the ROM and wipe cache/davlik to get it to boot. I don't see similar complaints on the XDA thread though so I assume it's a particular issue with my phone. When it boots though no worries, I get 6 hours SoT over 36 hours total usage. I don't play any graphics intensive games.

I've been looking at potential replacements for the phone for a while. I've replaced the screen 3-4 times and the battery twice, it's having a few little quirks that are not ideal. However, nothing has come up that really makes me want to ditch it. Battery life in particular and based back buttons keep me on it.

More and more I am convinced to get the OP3, seeing how huge the support base on XDA is.

Crappy micro, and sound quality? Can be fixed.
Shitty SoT? Can be fixed
Overheating? Can be fixed

And so on

The only thing you cannot fix is the screen, you gotta have to live with that screen, but that's the only downside I can see.

Also, there is no alternative.
The upcoming Nexus devices are gonna be overpriced and look like shit, and I am pretty sure the cam on OP3 will be better than those on the Nexus.

>HTC
>good cam

Doesn't compute

>>56249280
You cannot order OnePlus X anymore, maybe you can get it second-hand.

OnePlus now only put their focus onto the OP3....but still manages to have supply shortage.

If a phone launched last year on Android 5, updated to 6 this year and will be updating to 7, what are the odds it'll still get support for 8?

I know iOS supports longer because Apple controls everything, but how does the breakdown work for Android? Are some manufacturers better than others, or do they generally jjust drop support after two years?

>>56250114

Lmao it's that bad in the US is it?

In Australia you can get out of contracts pretty easily and I don't see why I would need a new phone more than once every two years anyways? There's basically no point not getting a plan nowadays with the new plans almost identical across most carriers.

Interesting stuff guys.

>>56250140
Nexus (straight from google) line gets 2 years support, usually about an extra two versions (i.e. nexus 5 launched with 4.4 (K), got 5.x (L) and 6.0.x (M), and isn't getting 7.0+). However, it will still receive security updates to M. HOWEVER, the developer community is pretty strong on those devices and you can get unoffical versions, hell, aforementioned Nexus 5 already has a beta version for N two days after release.

Most other phones are shitholes when it comes to updates, coming months/years late and getting barely any support. Samsung in particular being notorious for this, but sony is picking up the wheel in that department IMO, along with lenovo/motorola.

>t. a Google fanboy who only buys Nexus

Should I buy the axon mini for $200? Or is there something better I can get in that price range

>>56250305
UK here, not US

>>56250305
I don't know how it works in Australia, but in America you can pay $60-70 for a contract plan with 5GB of data, and $30-45 for an off contract plan with 5GB or more of data.

The reason people go with contracts in the US is the phone is subsidized, but they pay more for the service so it doesn't make sense unless you can't afford to buy the phone outright.

You're an idiot to be on a plan in Aus lad. Go post-paid monthly on an MVNO for 1/4 the cost of the same service on a larger carrier. Not to mention the total cost of that plan over 24 months will be far more than buying a phone outright and shopping around for the cheapest service with the things you need. Not to mention having the freedom to switch services/phones whenever you want. What if the phone you get on plan turns out to bit shit? What happens if your service quality deteriorates and you want to change providers? It'll cost you dearly.

Why do you think phone companies try and coerce you into getting plans? It's much more profitable for them.

>>56242468
Late response, hope you are still around here
Long story short, there are no new noteworthy features

>Control Center
Control center no longer offers the quick access to play your music and change volume. It is on a card that has two screens, the 2nd having the music controls. So you have to swipe up from the bottom, then swipe left to access music controls. That wouldn't be so bad if they didn't replace the music controls with HUGE buttons for AirPlay Mirroring, AirDrop, and a full width button for turning Night Shift on/off (the f.lux shit).

>Notification Cards
You know the little box that comes up when you get a text but you're in another app, all things like that got turned into cards and they all have a translucent white background which make them look kinda icky. Besides that they aren't too bad, I'm okay with them.

>Small Shit Changes

> What if the phone you get on plan turns out to bit shit?

Don't get a shit phone? The one time I did get a shit phone when smart phones were pretty new I called up, complained and got it swapped in store for another one.

Tbh I find it less hassle to just sit on a good plan with a good phone for 2 years, not worry about filling up or anything like that, then after two years go to a better plan and a better phone.

Oh well to each their own but it's interesting to see the way other countries do it.

>Messages (The biggest change)
This is totally supposed to be thing Apple is pushing to get people into their products. It is absolute shit and a cluttered mess. You can react to text messages by Liking, disliking, hearting, HaHa'ing, !!, and ? on text bubbles. Which slaps another text bubble on the corner of the text bubble you reacted to. If they do not have iOS 10 or are on Android they see another text message saying: { Laughed at "this is a random text message." }
You can send your text with different animations, to slam it down on the screen, to shake the text bubble like its screaming, quietly, invisible ink which is like a [spoiler]spoiler[/spoiler]. And you can also send them with tacky 90's animations like having balloons floating up in the background or with laser and some other stupid shit.
God.. I can just keep going on and on about how awful messages is.
The keyboard area is so fucking cluttered, the text bar (where you write your text to) is 1/3 the screen width and there are now other icons before it. A camera for pictures, an icon of fingers tapping a heart for sending taps, drawings, and hearts, and there's also an app store icon which I guess allows you to use 3rd part apps for the keyboard, I see random Reddit image macros when I click on it.
Emojis got a redesign, a bit softer look and a lot bigger. They look about the same but they fixed that stupid grimacing one.

So what makes me hate it is that it is a new iteration on their operating system and there is literally nothing to look forward to in it besides a slightly modified look and feel to it. The messages app is definitely what puts me off the most, it is so childish and trying so hard to be like snap chat or social media like.
You can try it for yourself at beta.apple.com It is shit but I like checking out new things.

>12gb of 4g with unlimited calls or texts and a free say...Galaxy S5 or equivalent for less than $45/month

You can get this for $100 a month, or $2400 over 2 years on a plan.

An S5 costs ~$300, and 12GB of data can be had for $45 a month. Total cost $1380.

Both of those options operate off the optus network. But the second one will save you $1000 and you won't have to worry about locked phones/lock in contracts and having to hassle people to get out of them.

>>56250800
So the 1/4 figure was hyperbole, but you do save money by not being on a plan. In Aus and everywhere else.

>>56250800
Hold on a sec, are these figures in Australia too?

Because looking at an S5 on say JB Hi Fi it's a straight $650 and like I said I get all that on Vodafone for $45/month, I think a friend gets similar on Optus and another gets similar on one of those random carriers but pays an extra $10 for the phone.

Sell it and buy a nexus when it comes out, or a motorola. That phone is shit, everyone knows it, google some reviews. last good G# was the G3

Is it bad to leave your phone charging while you sleep? Like, is it bad if it stays plugged in at 100%?

I plug my phone in at night and I'm sure it charges quickly, leaving it plugged in for the rest of the night.

help pls

Smarthphones are smart.
They will stop charging once they are at 100%.

Unless you have a chinkphone you have nothing to worry about.

Probably a usual question.
How hard is root a phone? how is the process?
Moto G1 5.1.

So far i haven't found need of doing it so far other than wanting to block ads in the 2 apps i use that have them.

>>56252507
It varies depending on your model but for the majority of the time it's pretty painless.

Apple trying to be Android but worse

Nexus 6P deep discount when?

I ordered a used, very good Galaxy Note 4 from amazon for 170$. Did I do good?

>>56252599
Haven't been keeping up with the chink phones lately but note 4 is pretty beast. I think you did good anon.

>Samshit and G5 over the HTC 10

disgusting

Nexus has two year support but if it's unlocked you can just slap the updated version on yourself.

Why would you buy a Chinkphone that isn't a Nexus device?

I'm 99% sure there is probably some nasty malware type rootkit in there.

Reminder to NEVER buy anything from DOOGEE
>who?
That's right

>>56251797
cm13 if you have a snapdragon version
don't bother otherwise

>>56251632
return it and get a nexus

Might just say fuck it and buy a 6S. Nougat sucks.

Will somebody make a new thread?

I'm new to owning a smartphone but i know i hate the virgin mobile branded version of android that came with my phone. How do i install stock android 4.4 on my phone? I'm not even sure what the right search terms would be for the xda forums to figure this out.

From the little bit of reasearch i've done it looks like there isn't any custom firmware for a Kyocera Hydro Vibe. I assume my only option is to buy a more popular phone?

>>56252937
pretty nice but too big
what about the galaxy s7?

>>56253184

Bigger battery and display. The curves for me make give the phone a bezeless appearance. Also apps edge is pretty useful.

Why doesn't anyone make a really good 4" device to compete with the iPhone SE?

>>56253458
Because only manlets want a 4" phone.

New thread when?

Yeah, I agree. I have a Note 5 and hate carrying it around. I'm thinking about selling it for something smaller. Had a GS4 before that was a really good size. I wouldn't mind something even smaller though. Sony has some, but they don't seem all that great.

G,
Need a phone that has expandable memory, an SD card. Need something that I can program on, Android and a big screen. Also can run emulators and demanding graphics. This phone will likely be my replacement laptop. Need multitasking too and lots of ram.

I'm looking at Samsung Galaxy s7. Im currently on the moto x.

>>56253750
moto z force or axon 7 if u want a cheap phone

>>56253750

>>56253750
>>56253800
No. See >>56248921

>>56253891
Why not change Touchtrash and be set?

>>56250379
Late as all hell response, but Youtube Adaway and Youtube Background play are worth using Xposed for.

Will the Mi4s work with MetroPCS?

What is a practical amount of data for someone who won't be using much?

Why doesn't Nokia have a good smartphone? They used to be the GOAT

>>56254146
I only have like 1.5 gigs and i've never used it all up.

>>56253933
If you want, but porting the ROMs will take a while and you lose out on a lot of the features that make it worth paying the Samsung brand tax

>>56243918
I used to get that as well, but that only lasted roughly a week.
