Just bought a Nexus 5X. Comes in next week. Did I fuck up?

>>56271880
You fucked up real badly

>>56268215
Does the Note 7 have new useful Stylus features that the Note 4 lacks?

Hey folks thinking about either buying a Honor 7 or a htc one a9. Anyone have any experience with either of them?

Got a Moto G4.
Please advise on the music player. Must have dark theme. Can be paid or free.

Can you recommend me a music player that gets the closest to the s5/s6 stock music player ? Or a way to install the stock music player on a custom rom on nexus.
Also if it supports Apple earbuds keys that would be a +

Is there anything wrong with the two current iphones(6 and SE)? Was thinking of maybe switching over to Apple since I've never used their phones before. Or should I wait for the 7 at this point?

>>56272150
I know that feel

I just want a Sony phone worth blowing money on

I want to open up my android and take remove or cut the wires to the camera and microphone and GPS and whatever. How difficult is that? Any guides you recommend?

>>56272040
htc a9 will most likely get support much longer than the honor?

higher chance of some custom roms too, and it looks better.

depends on the battery life you want I guess. I'd check out some tests online.

htc a9 has a small battery, sadly.

>>56272522
wait for 7, get the current gen a bit cheaper if the new generation isn't worth it.

>>56271880
Great phone but the new nexus lineup is coming out and you could have snagged a Sailfish instead

I also got a Nexus 5X this week. The brand new Nexus would be out of my budget range and I need a new phone right now since the touch screen stopped working on my old one.

You can't be this dumb, right?

>>56272987
>not buying phones on a contract
Unless you change carriers frequently it's not any different than buying it outright. Still, that's a nice deal on the 5X.

>>56272552
you might as well get a nokia 3310

remember tinfoil

>>56272570
I think I will go with the honor 7, the battery life is kinda important for me

What do you faggots think about the new Xiaomi Redmi 3s?

What's the best company for screen protectors? I'm looking for non tempered glass ones.

Tempered glass ones are GOAT
>easy to apply

>>56272950
He isn't that's why asks arrogant fucktard.
>>56272892
In this price area chinkphones are worth looking into. The all around praised redmi note 3 pro is the common suggestion. Xiaomi is pretty trusted ships phones with good battery life (& all around good specs) and the rn3p even got cyanogenmod if you're into that.

>>56273530

I'm getting the note 7 and heard tempered glass ones are not so good with the edges. I'm also used to not using a screen protector so don't want to add too much to it as they are usually on the thick side for me.

>>56271779
I'm currently waiting for the sale to start. Honestly can't wait to get it

I still rage inside everytime i see how much better almost everywhere in the world has it with data, and phone selection.

also what is a good dialer app? I'm using the preinstalled kyocera and it sucks.

>horrible iOS ripoff theme over OS

I am thinking of buying one of those new fancy phones with "apps", because I only have an old phone for text messages and phonecalls.

What should I look for? How should I decide which one is best for me?

I'll agree emui looks like dogs hit, but I'll use nova anyway until root support.

Poweramp

>>56273653
yeah, but its incompatible with my piece of dogshit Kyocera Hydro Wave. I want a real phone, not this tinkertoy shit i have now.

>>56273626
I thought everything made by apple was shit, and violeted the users privacy. Was I meemed?

>>56273077
Why a Nokia 3310?

Also, how difficult could it be to disassemble my android, remove parts I don't want, and reassemble it?

>>56273615
HTC 10 or V20, once again Samsung should be avoided.

>>56273788
>violeted the users privacy
Apple is probably the best desu.

I mean Android is made by Google and WP by Microsoft, so it's not a difficult thing to be the best at

>>56273812
>V20
only if you like your phone to start bootlooping randomly one day

>>56272406
Samsung music.

Who else oneplus 3 here?

>>56273858
I hate Indian Companies

>>56273824
They really need to get their shit together....

>>56272406
Rocket Player or Pi Music. PowerAmp is outdated shit for neets

>>56273812
I meant more like "What features I should look for in a phone"

So far I am thinking that I want:

-able to store mp3s and listen to them
-take pictures
-calendar, calculator, alarm clock
-what is app, that everyone keeps telling me that it's the only thing they use to chat
-if it is not terribly expensive I'd like it to have google maps or some sort of maps system with street names.

I don't know if the maps thing is pushing it though, I don't want to spend a fortune.
Any other features you guys would recommend?

>>56274215
what's yo budget

>>56274215
Xiaomi Redmi Note 3

>>56274215
>-if it is not terribly expensive I'd like it to have google maps or some sort of maps system with street names.
Why would it be expensive?
Pretty much every single smartphone today has GPS
And you can use apps like Here Maps to download the for offline use, so you don't even need internet access for the maps.

I wish Sony would unfuck itself. Do they not get most ppeople think their shit looks boring, is overpriced, and doesn't have any compelling features?

Everyone told me waterproof phones were unnecessary, but I thought it was pretty smart on Sony's part.

>>56274236
I don't know how much they go for, so I'll see when I get to the store.

>>56274247
Thanks but I don't want model recommendations, just what to look for in a phone.

>>56274258
Oh, so it's normal to have maps? That's good!


Also, one thing that worries me is that I see that all the new phones now are very slim and big. Doesn't that make them very vulnerable to get broken all the time? I imagine they must bend with minimal pressure, being so slim.

need a new phone.

$350 outright or more under contract.

good music quality, front face speakers.

5 inches +

2gb of ram+

decent cpu + gpu.

plz halp.

>>56274324
>I imagine they must bend with minimal pressure, being so slim.
Don't get a phone that's made out of metal

Also don't sit on them

>>56273858
Mine comes next week. I have a little buyers remorse. Hopefully when I get it I'll like it.

Just bought a Moto G4 because I love the look of it, did I fuck up?

>>56274371
>Lenovorola
yes

>>56274215
How many mp3s (how many gigabytes)? If you have a big collection then you should ignore most phones without a microSD card slot.

>>56273114
Or get note 3. Same price, better processor, cm support

Redmi note 3 pro marshmallow betatesting soon on global dev roms. Might actually receive it by the time most phones receive nougat. feelsokman

You couldn't hide apps before.

Also, install Nova Launcher if it triggers you so hard

>>56274306
I loved my old Arc S. It's the sole reason I got my xperia z1 when my samsung galaxy s4 slid from my couch and bopped the floor. That was apparently enough to completely fuck the screen. In comparison, I've inadverdently slammed a truck door on the arc s and it barely got scratched. I've always been disappointed in how laggy sony phones seem compared to other brands, though. I really like them, and I would love if it was the sensible buy, but they just seem so fucking slow.

What's /g/'s thoughts on Windows 10 phones? Is the OS on the phone the same as the OS for the desktops? Are these worth $600 with good specs?

>>56274986
>Arc S
Man, that thing was built like a tank. Mine fell out of my pocket why I was riding a bike, slid screen down and nothing happened, whereas my Nexus 5 screen broke when it fell off my bed onto a wooden floor. Gorilla Glass is the worst thing that happened to phones.

>>56274540
I could disable them to hide them

Might as well. I need to hide the Google searchbar, too

>>56275062
No.

>>56275062
NO
APPS

>>56275062
No & No

>>56275111
That phone was the fucking bomb. First phone I could actually browse 4chan on when I was taking a dump. The new Gorilla Glass 5 shit is a fucking joke. I saw that test where the fucking note 7 got scratched at 3 mohs. I've been looking lustily at the note, but I'd like a phone where it doesn't make a big difference if I wait a day or two getting a screen protector.
And where's our Sony flagship built like the Arc S? A Sony flagship that actually performs like a flagship and can be used to beat up people when you put it in a tough case.

>>56274371
Its ok. CM is coming so >lelnovo is irrelevant.
Just dont do gaems for more than 20 minutes.

Just got my order in for the Honor 8. Next day shipping so I'll be sure to report back and let you guys know how it is tomorrow night or so.

tfw need a smartphone but can't get over the feeling next years smartphones will be way better

>>56275677
They won't. Smartphone tech has hit diminishing returns. Get a exynos S7 and that will last you at least 4 years before anything remotely worth upgrading to comes along.

>>56275753
>tfw I'm fine with my 3 year old Nexus 5

>>56275753
i'm using my phone that i had for 5 years that broke this month (still using it) but i just feel like i might buy a phone this year and specs will double next year and get like 8 gigs of ram and stuff

How do smartphone users deal with obvious Google tracking? Do you simply not care? Are there easy ways to avoid it?

I'm ignorant on the subject, but considering upgrading from a flip phone.

Just upgraded from lg g4 to Note 7. I love the big beautiful screen and it's overall less bulky which is great. I also love the stronger audio output. Camera is awesome. I love it.

But i just saw the lg v20 is coming out next month. Built in headphone amp? Badass SAD? Nougat out of the box? Fuck me. Maybe i should have waited.

Nexus 6P vs Oneplus 3: Does 2015's best phone hold up?
https://youtu.be/zWby_iWSFJI

>One Plus... Reliable After A Year?

I'm down to:
>wait for new Nexus
>buy OP3
>buy 6p when new Nexus drops/cheaper

I tried the OP3 and their customer service for refunding me 100% was great. No worries about that. Question is, do their products last?
I was blown away by the smoothness of the phone but does anyone here have a OP problem that just went to complete shit after a year? If it's software wise, couldn't it be fixed via a ROM? I can root so there's no prob.

As for Nexus, I know their phone's last, regardless if the 5x/6p was an overheating mess, their hardware/software was great, and my Nexus 5 lasted me almost 3 years.

What do I do?
(also, budget for me was $500 CAD which the OP3 satisfied)

>>56276112
If 1440p is a need for you then choose the third option, if not get the Sailfish when it gets released. The OP3 has a shit-tier screen that I wouldn't recommend dealing with for the next 2-3 years.q

Is there a better TV remote app than Peel?

>>56276169
Not OP but similar issue, one of the reasons I'd get OP3 is because of the little things like finger print sensor on front, hardware buttons, and the alert slider. The problem is that I heard OnePlus seem to drop support for devices early and take forever with updates. Not only that but I'm not convinced that the phone will stay smooth over time like the 6P has.

>>56276246
OnePlus Two got 6.0 two months ago.
It's pretty bad.

The OPO and OPX aren't getting 7.0 (the GPU doesn't support Vulkan/OpenGL 3.1)

Oh btw, the OPX is still stuck on Lollipop

Poorfag here. Needing a recommendation for a cheap Android LTE capable phone on T-Mobile in the US. Used would be alright if it keeps it below $100. But about $100-$150 is my budget for brand new.

>>56276067
who knows.
factory reset.
then get adguard VPN, activate it when you want to go to porn sites. deactivate when finished. there's a little one button widget you can use to do it easily.

Don't get the m9. Get the HTC 10. Much higher quality of phone. 2 day battery, high def speakers and audio jack. 64gb storage, 4gb ram, camera that is on par with Samsung s7's camera.

Supposedly not as good as the Z3C. But still a tidy package all round. I'd wait for the new Sony compact to really, if not to buy at least the z5c will drop a little in price

>>56276549
why

I bit the Samsung meme. Note 7 is actually pretty great. Fight me.

Which actually, I've gotten pretty great battery so far.

When will smartphones become completely indestructible already

Hey /g/. What would be a better phone for me? Honor 8 that costs about 500$ in my country or OP3 that costs about 640$?

>>56276540
N

>>56276639
It's not the worst screen I've seen, but it's a far cry from the flagships it's said to kill.

>>56276699
Wasn't the OP2, not the OP3, marketed as the flagship killer?

>>56276392
>>56273591
How is the Mi Max?

>>56276714
The Oneplus phones in general are marketed as a new generation of phones meant to deliver flagship performance at affordable prices.

I don't want software bloat
I want good battery OR removable battery
I want great and latest hardware
good camera

I actually do lots of work from my phone. pdf, editing, images


What phone for me?

>>56276246
>>56276112

If one were to buy the 6p and upgrade to 7.0 Nougat in the next month or two, will the current 6p users with Nougat be a good indicator if the hardware can handle it?

I don't want to buy the 6p, finding out that having N on it just made it worse...

>>56276829
M8 my Nexus 5 is running an unofficial port of Nougat (that is only 2 days old) and it runs just as well as it did on Marshmallow

>s6 active for 360 euros in germanistan

sucks that it doesn't have any roms. It's cheaper than the regular s6.

Although I am a bit confused, I thought it's a at&t exclusive phone

>>56276914
>I thought it's a at&t exclusive phone
only in amerifatland where carriers can pull shit like that.

>>56276937

if your music collection is big get an htc 10, it has micro sd slot and wont bend even being made out of metal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQ62ixgzhrI and the camera is top tier.
if your music collection isnt bigger than 40gb get a nexus 6p, this one bends easily, but either way you should put a case on any modern smartphone, camera is also very nice.
or get an iphone 6s/plus those dont bend and have really nice cameras, itunes is a pain in the ass tho.

generally speaking nexus and iphones offer the best experience all around, and every smartphone right now has all the features you listed but the quality varies greatly depending on the price range. if you want expandable storage you'll have to research some more.
avoid samsung at all costs.

As a side note I recommend you do this if you run into delayed chat notifications because MiUi is very aggressive with killing background processes:

Not very hard.

Getting it to still work properly afterwards? Who knows. The camera is likely a module you can unplug and throw out. GPS antenna can be detached, it may still work without the antenna. Microphone might have to be destroyed. On my phone it's incorporated into a larger circuit but you should be able to break it without damaging anything else.

It depends on the phone really. Seriously reconsider the way you are living your life.

All iPhone have good battery life so it is up to you but I prefer the iPhone 6 for superior performance myself.

I've been looking at buying a used flagship phone, specifically the LG G3 or Nexus 6 for under $150. I'm pretty heavily leaning towards getting the LG G3, but are there any other similar phones to it that is worth the purchase more in the end? It seems like the perfect phone for me and it's around $110 right now on eBay.

>>56283972
G3 becomes laggy as fuck unless you have a custom ROM, and the oversharpening on the screen is very noticeable. I had to deal with it until just getting a 6P
I'd honestly go for the Nexus 6 for a much better OLED screen

Had a redmi note 2, I really liked it but I missed having 4G service. It died completely on me a month ago.

Is there a good phone in the $399 or below with decent specs and a similar screen size but 4G support in the US and better build/ battery life?

I was looking at the One Plus 3 and the Huawei Honor 8 but I'm undecided right now. I wasn't sure if there was something I was missing somewhere else.

>>56283972
keep in mind the G3 just has a snapdragon 801 like the other flagships at its time but was also the first to have to drive a 1440p display. It handles alright, but might be a little too ahead of its time, future 1440p phones (nexus 6 has an 805) handled the transition better

>>56283972
I would strongly recommend that you have an iPhone on your list. They are the superior mobile OS with extreme quality and competitive pricing.

>>56284000
There is certainly an iPhone in your price range. Have you considered your opinion of this?

>>56284043
I know you're a shill but I did consider the Iphone SE. However, I prefer a larger screen size.

>>56276480
Redmi 3/Redmi Note 3, Honor 5x, Mi Max, there are quite a few. I personally recommend the Redmi Note 3.

>enoughofthisshit.jpg

The only things that I'd change is the camera software, but kinda got used to it, and also that the screen could be AMOLED to make proper use of Moto Display.

>>56284652
What's the point of gaining performance if there no apps to take advantage of it? I understand wanting to buy iphone if you want a phone for work or with no bloatapps,however.

>>56284813
To be honest, when I first got into Nexus phones I took full advantage of Android. But now I'm pretty much a normie so I feel an iPhone would be a better fit for me.

Aldo, as you said, I want minimal bloat (one of the reasons I've always stuck with Nexus, my one run in with Samsung left a bad taste in my mouth) and just a more consistent uu/ux that requires less tinkering on my part. As much as I feel like a tool for saying this, I want it to just werk. I'm tired of fucking with my phone. My fear though is that I'll drop $700 on this thing only to hate it and go back to my 6p.

>>56276088

>>56284974
If you want to put up with iOS / iTunes and not having a dedicated back button, sure.

Or you could just get a decent stock android phone, saves you hassle transferring SIM data etc. Aswell.

I remember switching to WP a year back, and it really sucks since there's almost no support for saving your contact data. Will switch back to Android soon.

You messed left.

Did you guys create a MI account on the Rednote? Is it worth it? What can you do with it? (witch other stuff, can't)

So last year I fell for the Samsung Meme and got a s5.
Worst mistake of my life. The camera is okay and battery life is decent but it's slow as heck and feels cheap.
But overall I'm really satisfied with android although it's not as smooth as IOS.

Any recommendations for a good android phone with
>A good camera that is FAST
>Overall smooth software
>Battery life that is as good as the s5's atleast
>Screen can be 1080p I don't care as long as it's not horrible

I bought the s5 for 400 bucks if I remember correctly. Should I spend more this time?
Is it worth trying a chinkphone like the "redmi whatever its called" and flash cm?

>>56287067
why don't you flash cm on the samsung?

>>56287119
I did it one and had a couple of problems.
The mobile Internet wasn't working and the music player crashed occasionally. Aside from that it was smoother to be honest.
But it was kind of a hassle flashing the stock software again and I almost bricked it I think so I'm a bit scared.
But mostly It was because of the bugs I had.
Also I missed the notes widget because I like having my notes on screen all the time.

I was looking around a bit and saw the oneplus 3. Is it worth a consideration?

>>56287119
What I forgot: the microphone quality was utter shit. It was so quiet nobody could hear me while talking on my phone.
Was it just the roms fault, should I try a different one than cyanogenmod?

>>56287168
>>56287252
When did you try this? I never had those problems with the cm version of my xperia zr, and this one is far more unpopular than the s5. Normally bugs like that should be fixed quite soon. And I'm sure there are other note apps that you can use (check fdroid for FOSS Noteapps with no adds and other bullshit).

>>56287287
A couple of month ago I think.
Im so tempted to try it again because it looked way better and performed way smoother but I don't want to end up with bugs again.

>>56287337
That's odd, I expect phones like the s5 to work very good with cm since it's so popular amongst the dev community. You could also download a stable snapshot from the cyanogenmod.org website if there is one for your device.

>>56287349
I had a nightly version and I heard they're rather unstable.
Could that have been the reason?

>>56287379
I have a nightly version too and it's quite stable actually. Never had any problems like you are describing right now.

I'd simply try it again before buying a new phone honestly. There are also other Roms out there that should be good. If you are still not happy then go and look for a different phone.

I was thinking about buying a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 pro.
Can i trust it? How much i will have to tinker with it if buy a global rom version?
And last question: my cellphone operator uses 800mhz and 2600mhz bands for 4g.
I've read that xiami doesnt support 800hmz, what does it mean? I wont just be able to use 4g or i wont be able to use internet in general? Ty guys

>>56287404
Will do!
It's quite complicated but atleast I know how to go back to stock again though.
Everytime I'd try I got the same error message and I had to reorganise the parition space or something which too didn't work unless I forced to get the error, unplug the phone, then let a TWRP or how it's called do its work and plug it in again.
Little bit of a hassle but I got it to work again.
I hope I don't bother you but what also annoyed my that the backlight of the two buttons was lit everytime I touched something. With stock they'd just light up if pressed and not with every action. Is there a way to tweak it?

And im really not trying to sound racist. But almost every tutorial made on youtube about flashing software is made by an Indian and the accent is driving me nuts. What exactly does appeal them so much ?

I always close the video when I hear an indian accent. It's horrible.

No idea about the buttons. XDA might know more, or google.

>bootloop memes aside
It's not a meme though.

Also it's not out yet so it's not safe to say.

>>56287733
okay then how likely does it happen? I am just hearing about this.

>>56287748
