Lumia 1520 literally where ?

Is the Galaxy S7 really the best phone now? I want to purchase the best phone on the market currently. Is it possible to install Nethunter on it?

Also, is the Edge just a gimmick?

>>56353521
had one, had problems with the factory reset since something was off with the bootloader.

It never reseted the phone when I encrypted it (stuck in the animation and nothing happened until I removed the battery). Had to reset it with adb

If thats a non issue for you then go for it. Cm support ootb is quite nice. If you don't mind a non replacable battery then the bq aquaris x5 might be something for you too.

Looking to get a budget Android Smartphone (200Euroshekels) after being suckered into Windows for a year now.
>is the Moto G4 still the best?
>what's the difference between G4 and G4 plus
>can the G4 dualsim and AT THE SAME TIME use an SD-card or is it one of those "either or"?
>how's the Android on the G4? will it get Marshmallow or Nigglet?
>how's the screen does it go to shit as soon as I don't have a perfect 0° viewing angle?
>how's the Aquarius X5? I heard lots of good stuff about it. Is the Cyanogen OS worth getting?
>can the X5 dualsim and AT THE SAME TIME use an SD-card or is it one of those "either or"?
>what are other options?

Who else getting the Mi5s if it's still in the same form factor?

Thanks, will check out the aquarius

>>56353654
which ones ?

>>56353672
although I will say this, there are also mixed reports on the aquaris. I mean if you need a phone with removable battery you could also go for the s4 ? Install cm 13 and you're golden if that's all you need I guess.

Reasons to buy the remdi note 4 over the note 3 pro?

Should I order from the official xiaomi/redmeme site?

Oneplus 3 or Axon 7 considering that i probably will never use the speaker and at the moment i'm not super interest in vr?

>>56353633
Can't find any decent reviews from trustworthy sources on it.
Care to elaborate?

>>56353692
it's mediocre but a new meme for some reason.

Meizu makes better phones, and the MX5 is cheap as fuck new now if you want a chinkphone.

>>56353708
is flyme OS the os from meizu or why do the phones come with it?

Do you guys quick charge your devices? Does it impact battery life to a noticeable degree?

>>56353561
Just bought one 2 weeks ago, loving it.
Edge has a bigger screen and more battery

I don't know how to root my moto e 2nd gen phone anyone know how?

>>56353728
yeah Flyme is their OS based on Lollipop.

They update it on a regular basis, I got 4 big updates and a couple smaller bugfix ones in about a year.
If I wanted to buy a new android phone I'd get the PRO5, but wtf I hate android now.

>>56353692
Not the other guy, but the Redmi Note 3 has been becoming popular for a reason. Cheap with good specs, large battery, sd card slot, and good custom ROM support (so near stock Android and such). Downsides are a mediocre camera, and the Android skin that it comes with (MIUI) is fairly ram heavy. Overall, I think it's great, and this is coming from a guy who came from a OnePlus One.

Redmi Note 3 Pro

>>56353684
Redmi Note 4 only has Mediatek for a processor which is shit and means that it isn't supported properly for custom roms and won't get a global rom.

Just wait for the redmi note 4 pro.

>>56353692
Type Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 pro into youtube

>>56353793

Hahahah nope

>>56353684
No reason honestly. If you want to, wait for the Snapdragon version of the RNote 4, for custom ROM support.

>>56353797
is xda the only place?

>>56353793
I was so fucking close to pulling the trigger on the Wileyfox Storm which is basically like if you got a moto G (/g/s old meme phone), made it 5.5inches, 3gb of ram and chucked cyanogenmod on it.

The redmi note 3 pro is like $150 cheaper and has the same specs. Sure the design isn't as good imo (still decent) but it is sooo much cheaper and you can chuck cyanogenmod on it anyway.

>>56353803
3G is fine in Europe.
I get over 10 Mbit/s almost everywhere.

Anyone here with the Note 7?

How's the audio sound on it? how's it with the earphones it comes with or your own headphones?

this is a big part of me deciding whether or not I drop $1349 for this thing

>>56353816
Sadly yes. You might find something on some other sites, but it'll probably just link you to XDA.

No but seriously, I am a Videographer and the smartphone-app to remotely controll my B-Cam only works under Android/iOS. I dont want to have to run between 2 different cameras. and turning the dials on the camera to control some aspects can be picked up by microphones, it shakes the cam and it isn't as precise. Also, transfering images and videos directly via the app would allow me to keep up a better Social Media presence during shoots of events, which some customers really appreciate. Alternatively, i could use a smartphone as an additional screen for my rig.
I use a lot of RSS-feeds and the only decent app for it, Nextgen reader keeps spazzing out, I miss whatever I used on Android. Also, Just having a bit of a choice for all sorts of apps would make me happy.
The phone keeps crashing, having glitches, tries to "repair" the SD-Card, doesn't recognize it at times, stops playing music when headphones are plugged in, rejects BT devices halfway through, has a weird graphical glitch that cuts out parts of the screen and restitches it.
Last but not least, I miss the option to root and have control over all aspects, like with BusyBox and SD-Maid.
Technically, everything's a wild card.

why is xiaomi a total bitch with kernel sources? I read on xda that cyanogenmod.org won't provide an official build since xiaomi doesn't release the kernel sources of their device. What the fuck xiaomi

>>56353767
What the fuck is wrong with you have you even tried fucking googling for it? Entitled piece of shit.

What do you think would be better?

1) Some dude from /g/ telling you some random instructions

or

2) Someone who wrote a massive forum post or guide online?

Take a moment to think about your personality and reflect on it. Don't be the guy that sits on his ass and can't do anything until he has direction or permission. Take the initiative, this applies to all things in life, learn this lesson and learn it well.

Fine in Australia, 4G speeds everywhere, all day - you can stream porn like this one video I found of a chubby slut getting fucked in the ass and the pussy at the same time.

It does.

It supports one microsim and one nanosim.

You can also put an SD card in the nanosim slot or you can do this to get both and SD and second sim:

Meizu MX5, seriously.
Even the 32GB model is cheap now.

I run mine in China with Orange(France) and China Unicom nanosims and it works like a charm simultaneously.

How often do you guys upgrade your phones? I've had my Galaxy S5 since it came out but I don't know when to upgrade since Verizon got rid of their 2 year contracts. Should I just use it until it physically stops working?

>>56353906
If you're not being edgy and contrarian for the sake of it I am actually legitimately interested in what makes you think that Windows Phones are great.

I used my sisters for maybe five minutes, it didn't outright offend me but not having access to all the apps would turn me off using it. Also the choice of hardware is rather spartan.

IPhone 7 when? Who / hyped/ here?

>>56353945
I keep mine until it breaks. Still on the Moto G1.
I could easily afford to buy a new """flagship""" every 2 years but I hate wasting money.

>>56353945
Use it for one more phone generation. I think you should definitely buy another battery for it though and flash cyanogenmod. I think as a phone you could definitely use it for another year but you should do basic maintenance on it to keep it going speedy.

Got a phone with 5.5 inch screen for a couple years now. Great phone, but I'm fed up with this huge fucker sitting in my pocket. You fa/g/gots with notes and 6+ inch phablet screens are fucking wack.

>>56353977
I recently replaced my Moto G with a redmi note 3 pro.

I really loved that phone, I broke the screen :(
If you ever do have to upgrade check out the WileyFox phones they're decently priced and have clearly copied the moto G aesthetic.

>>56353933
Doesn't have true DualSIM.
Have to choose either or, no separate slot.

I think the problem might be hardware related.

>>56353958
Yeah and that's too bad but the 950 XL has great hardware: amazing camera, dual sim, SD slot, replaceable 3340mAh battery, 5'7'' display, and Windows 10 is the slickest and most lightweight phone OS so far, really the only thing that can be held against it is that a lot of normie apps are not available/are eternal beta ports.

Continuum is also pretty cool but the adapter is expensive as shit.

>>56353891

I never install roms where the developer isn't at least xda approved or something. CM is prefered because they usually have theyr code out in the open.

>>56354002
>If you ever do have to upgrade check out the WileyFox phones they're decently priced and have clearly copied the moto G aesthetic.
I did consider them but 5" is slightly too large for me to use comfortably with 1 hand, because I have tiny Donald Trump hands. 4.5-4.8 inch would be perfect.
Might get a Sony Z5 Compact when the price drops.

I think the unlock/root ship has sailed for me because I'm on the latest OTA update (Marshmallow) and it doesn't allow unlocking the bootloader afaik. Verizon are notorious cunts about this.

>>56354025
Doesn't change the fact that it has less Apps than the PS3 has games.

Can someone recommend a phone for me?

Currently have a Moto G gen 1, has been great but starting to slow right down and large apps are a problem (I fell for the 8gb and cloud meme).

In the UK and on Virgin. Entry level devices preferred as I don't into flagship devices.

Only really need decent storage (pref expendable), BT and NFC. Decent camera would be nice but not essential.

Was looking at jumping to a Moto G 4th gen but no NFC. HTC Desire 530 around same price with NFC, worse camera and HTC sense bloatware (I had a Wildfire 1st gen before this moto g).

US Redmeme owners, which Sim slot do we have to use if we also want to use micro sd? Or either? I have a t-mobile microsim and don't really trust myself to cut it


Also, is the LG V10 any good?

Is there anything I should do to the stock miui?

>>56355824
There seem to be a difference in the camera too:
http://www.gsmarena.com/alleged_xiaomi_mi_5s_render_leaks_reveals_dual_camera_setup-news-19279.php

Also, since the Mi5 lacks the 800 MHz band (which isn't exactly a problem since there are two other bands my carrier uses, but it might be annoying in some areas where that one is the only LTE band available), I was hoping the Mi5S had that hole covered.

Wait if you want a better camera then. LTE is a non issue for me since I don't have it. Remember that the camera quality will suffer if you flash a rom though so you'll have to use the stock rom.

LTE is kind of important to me, I occasionally hotspot to my desktop. Plus I'm used to it from using my Lumia 640 for a while.
Otherwise the mi 5 does look enticing, I agree.

Do you think Cyanogenmod's better than stock overall? Is it worth the shit camera?

So I have a folio case for my phone that I got for free and I have just one small complaint with it. When I get a call, opening my case automatically answers the call. I don't want that to happen because sometimes I don't want to talk to certain people. Is there any way to disable that? The case turns on/off my phone when I open/close it which I think is cool but I don't care for the automatic answering.

>>56356172
Nougat

From TopOne the Mi5 64GB costs 330€ with shipping and they assure no VAT/customs hassle whatsoever. I'd buy it right away if it wasn't that it lacks the LTE band 20, which is the one I'm connected right now, goddamit!

oh, I just saw that the zuk z2 has no dedicated hardwarebutton, only that one memebutton in the middle. kek, what the fuck.

Just picked up 2 new phones that have that Type C connector. I need to stock up on Type C wires for it. In the past I went to MonoPrice but they are priced kinda high compared to what I normally like to pay on wires that get lost/stolen.

I notice some cheaper wires are USB2, not sure how much of a deal breaker that is but I do want it to support Quick Charge 2.0.

Whats a decent cheap wire to stock on up on? I need 3 feet and 6 feet ones.

Will they ever figure out glass screen protectors for curved screens? Running a IQShield plastic screen protector on my Note 7 now. It fits okay but I miss touching glass

>>56357945
How long until release? Realistically.

tfw Redmi N3P Global Edition is slightly bigger than China version so cases don't fit properly

Main sim uses: So No Band 20 There
1800MHz 2100MHz 1800MHz & 2600MHz

Secondary mostly likely using Band 20 However as good Data rate but it will probably vary a lot depending on who has the best deals.
900MHz & 1800MHz 900MHz & 2100MHz 800MHz

So you would suggest the Note 3 over the Mi5? It does seem better for the price.

>>56359992
Mi 5 definitely has the better speccs. It honestly depends on what you want. I would get the mi 5 because I don't like screens that big and the mi 5 is barely "ok" for me.

This is a dumb question, but it seems relevant here.

Is there anyone here who's used the official Cyanogen ROM? Is that extra firmware necessary?

Thank you. If you don't mind, does this firmware need to be flashed on every snapshot push? Also, does the battery life benefit from the Cyanogen ROM?

>>56363393
how are you liking miui so far? what's making you flash cm?

>>56363393
No. If you flash a MIUI Recovery ROM from TWRP your bootloader would get locked and you'll be stuck in a bootloop. (TWRP cofface can flash MIUI without a problem)

Battery life was pretty much the same. however it was full of bugs. fp reader wouldn't work, random freezes and restarts, apps crashing etc. so I went back to global MiUI 8 and everything is fine now. that was on last weeks official CM13 nightly though so maybe it's improved now.
I've heard that Santosh' unofficial CM13 and RR work better too but I haven't tried them.

Watch RootJunky tutorial if you still wanna try it, he explains everything:

Nah the G3 has the same issue, it's just less common. I have a friend who's on his third G3 due to bootloops.

If it doesn't work, return. Chinese sellers usually have good return policy. Assuming customs doesn't rape you since you're in the UK

>>56363565
Just don't open it and send it back for refund/ask for replacement. B4 and B20 is quite useful to have in Europe/Burgerland.

MIUI's all right, but after using Motorolla's stock ROM and Cyanogen on a Moto G, I really prefer the stock way of doings things; Cyanogen gets quite close to that, so I prefer it over other ROMs. Even so, I find MIUI to be quite bloated, using half the system resources and services I can't find anything about, and don't like how it displays notifications or its menus that much. Having root is nice, too.

>If you flash a MIUI Recovery ROM from TWRP your bootloader would get locked and you'll be stuck in a bootloop
Fuck, I was hoping it would do the exact opposite.

>it was full of bugs
Maybe I should wait for it to become better, then.

Not all of us are poorfags, note 7 no contract reporting in.
The audio is alright, its not terribly loud like the LG G series is.
I dont know what you want to hear mang, the loudness is pretty much the same as every other samsung phone.

I havent used the samsung earbuds,I just use my own, I'm no audiophile or some shit, it all sounds the same to as my Note 3 I had before.

Try this nougat theme from the theme market:

Not perfect but at least the visuals are much better.

Sounds like Windows 10

p.s. If you don't want to apply via pc (mtz file) because it's a pain in the ass, search for "Android N" in the theme market and apply. it's much faster that way.

So I'm going to bite the bullet and get the rn3p. I'm getting conflicting reports about tmobile lte not working and working with the rn3p. The phone in the link has B2 and B4 which is what tmobile uses here in burger land. Will this phone actual get lte because hspa/4G coverage sucks in my area? Thanks in advance for your input.

It won't get lte from what I know since the phone came out, HSPA/4G only

Look elsewhere if LTE is important to you

No, this version lacks most bands.

This one Taiwan/Global edition might actually work better:

Has more bands but no one tested it in the U.S yet because it was just released.
Still lacks B17 and B12 though.
