JUST

HTC One M8 or M9?

>>56450798
M8. Better battery life, custom rom support and less heat.

Is there a way to download Fortune (iOS 4chan app) without jailbreak on iOS 9.3.5

>>56450798
M8.

Is there a stable CyanogenMod release for the Xiaomi Mi5?
I'm searching for a new phone that's not too big (kinda the reason why i opt out of 5.5' devices) and according to the wiki Mi5 has the best bang for your buck right?

Previously had an iPhone 4 from 2010 until May. It broke finally after a stellar season. Bought a stop-gap ZTE T815 as I was getting a phone through work, but took a new job that didn't come with one so I have to buy one myself. I'm agnostic to the iOS/Android thing.

What I want:
> good camera for stills
> storage for music (either phone, or expandable)
> good DAC for music

What I don't want:
> something tiny
> something enormous
> something with plastic everything

Budget is $600AU. This is what I've shortlisted:
> iPhone SE 16Gb - $549
> OnePlus 2 64Gb - $499
> OnePlus 3 64Gb - $575
> LG Google Nexus 5X 32GB - $419
> Samsung Galaxy S6 32Gb - $549
> Nexus 6P 32Gb - 32Gb - $579

I think the OnePlus 3 is the forerunner, but only issue is it doesn't support 700 MHz band which is used by my provider (Telstra) for 4Gx; they have other bands they use. I live in a metro area though so it seems not a deal breaker, but I'm not really knowledgable on this.

What y'all think?

>>56451016
S6 or wait for new nexus/nexus price drop

>>56451068
>suggesting S6 when OP3 is nearly the same price
No. Do not.

So I have a Compact z5 and I like the camera app, is there anything better? what about for editing pictures?

>>56451074
Am I right in thinking the OnePlus is a great deal at its price point?

>>56451074
OP3 is shit and it doesn't support the 700mhx band his carrier uses... read his post lol

>>56451190
Missed that part. If anon didnt need that band OP3 is way better though, you can't argue that. The only thing that matches it in specs on his list is Nexus 6P

>>56451211
he also has a good camera as a priority, and OP3 got nothing on the S6's lens.
I would still recommend the S6 over the OP3. If your next argument against the S6 is touchjizz then he can just fix it up with a new rom

>>56451240
My arguement is not touchwiz as I used Samsung in the past. My issue is the S6 has the worst battery out of any of the recent samsung phones. S5 and S7 are significantly better. Unless this has been fixed with 6.0

>>56451016
Axon 7
Mi 5
Zuk Z2
RN3P.

Don't bother with S6, shit battery and lagwizz.
And don't buy any phone with SD810 housefire e.g. 6P OP2.
And not a fucking iPhone.

>>56451295
I had the s6 and the battery wasn't terrible. it can be optimized with root and greenify and a doze-like xposed module

>>56451360
Shouldn't have to though

>>56451379
Agreed

>>56451190
>>56451211

OP3 (Europe/Asia) has:
> FDD-LTE: Bands 1/3/5/7/8/20
> TDD-LTE: Bands 38/40/41

Provider (Telstra) I'm with uses 1/3/5/7/28/40
> Band 1 = 2100MHz
> Band 3 = 1800MHz
> Band 5 = 850MHz
> Band 7 = 2600MHz
> Band 8 = 900MHz
> Band 28 = 700MHz

Does that I mean I won't get 4G on the network? I have no idea about this shit.

>>56451545
Check willmyphonework.net it says you might get 4G but it's probably better to ask someone else who has actually tried it

>>56451584
> 4G LTE: Band8-900MHz, Band3-1800MHz, Band7-2600MHz
> Device is compatible with some of the network carriers frequencies. It may work.

Thanks mang!

>>56450970
Sadly no, there is a Mokee rom though on XDA but I have no idea how trustworthy that is.

Xiaomi is a bitch as always and doesn't release the kernel sources of their device so CM won't pick that device up.

There is a unofficial build though so you can go and check that one out.

Ok guys, first time posting in this general.
I RMA'd my Note 4 and they replaced it with a S7 Edge because was impossible for them to source the motherboard.
Should i keep it or try to sell it for around 600 eurobucks and buy a Note 7 instead?

Thank you

>>56451754
>note 7
>pocketgrenade

check the OP and keep the s7 edge

>>56451754
Note 7 is an exploding mess. stick with the S7E.

>>56451754
>buying the detonote

Should i get an used LG G3 for 100 eurobux.

>>56451779
>>56451783
>>56451801
I know that the current cells are full fledged grenades, obviously i'll wait some time before buying it.

Also, does the screen curvature of the S7E interfere with the viewing experience or nah?

>>56451848
a friend of mine has it and he's happy with it in every aspect except for it being a bit fragile

it's very sturdy for an all-glass phone, but it's still fragile

>>56451861
i expected that, not a big fan of full-glass build
But did Sammy fix the screen burn-in with the new panels?

>>56451893
never heard of or experienced sammy burning in
if you aren't a clumsy mess you shouldn't be bothered by the all-glass build.

you can try youtubing s7 edge drop/smash tests to see how sturdy it is

>>56451940
Never dropped a phone so i don't mind too much, but i really hope the back isn't too slippery

>>56452004
the only time I've found it too slippery is when I've had chalk on my hands(the s7e I'm referring to is my coaches and I've tried it a few times)
it feels fine when holding it under normal circumstances.
I can imagine winter being a bitch though, with dry skin and all

AMOLEDS burn in when you keep the same picture on the screen at a very high brightness. You can see it in stores where they use the phones in a special mode and let them run all day long on max brightness.

>>56452063
Interesting.. I've never seen it on any samsung ever. Might head down to the local phone pusher tomorrow and see if their demo phones are burned in

Sailfish and Marlin when?

>>56452033
Well, ill'invest in some wraps at this point, thanks for the warning!
I really hope that the leather ones feels as good as the Note4 back cover tho

I am looking for a phone similar to the OP3, N6P or HTC10... What are my options at 400-500 USD?

I might bite the HTC 10 or N6P bullet, the OP3 I'd have to switch carriers.

>>56451016
Get the Honor 8 if bands are supported. Love this phone so far.

>>56452165

i bought a galaxy s3 neo duos last year, which was a 2014 reproduction of the s3 intended for the arab world, and it also has neat features such as unlocked radio.

the problem is that its too fucking big. i have been using the galaxy exhibit for the longest time, and in the case pictured it measures 5in by 2.75in. the galaxy s3 with a case measures 6in by 3.5in. it is bulky and uncomfortable for me, and i'm thinking of giving it to my mother.

do any of you know a smaller phone, in the ranges of 3.8in to 4.3in at most that is gsm unlocked and has an 8mp camera? that is the only reason i want to switch from my little beater phone, i'm sick of the low quality 5mp camera.

is the galaxy s4 mini the only option? not considering the iphone se bc i like replaceable battery and microsd.

Are there any chink phones that work with Verizon? Everyone that seems half way decent I've found is incompatible with CDMA.

>>56452004
It can't be as fragile as the Xperia phones. Those bitches will shatter from you looking at them wrong

Can have it for 179$.

What's the deal with the new Pixel phones? Will battery life be good?

>>56452705
Friend had one, modem broke in like 3 seconds, is now useless brick. Steer clear.

T-Mobile announces all cell sites will support larger packet size by end of next month. Half already deployed. Phones will require software update to take advantage.

Can anyone with a HTC 10 comment on its battery life/screen on time? Will it last longer than pic related?

This Umi Super chinkshit (never again) has a Helio P10 and 4000mAh on a 1080 screen. Most of my usage is wifi and mobile web browsing and Bluetooth.

thoughts on getting a 6p in 2016? the huge screen and great camera are major pluses.

what would you get for 400$?

>>56453138
>0.01 rupee has been deposited into your iShit account

>>56452705

My Z1 was bulletproof, I sold it to a friend and hes still using it now. Freakishly long battery life from 4000mAh on a snapdragon 801. Great build quality and audio output, CyanogenOS is clean and the stock UI is aesthetic and runs fast. Only drawback for me was the big bezels, it's large for a 5.5" phone.

Overall I highly recommend it, great value.

>>56453164
i would probably get htc 10

Is the LG G2 still a good phone? Thinking of picking one up for $50-60 on ebay.

>>56453138
Well I have T-mobile and its been reported to work, but not too sure about it, and I just want a cheap chinker phone that has good performance and a good camera, and of course supports LTE

>>56453240
Yes. It's good. CM13 is smooth as fuck. Holds up pretty well

>>56453140

No, I never asked for advice before buying this.

Major things: The bluetooth audio frequently distorts and or disconnects for no reason. The GPS takes ages to lock on.

Minor things:

It's weirdly heavy and thick with sharp edges and feels unpleasant to hold. The non-stock parts of the UI like the status bar icons and notification shade are poorly designed, inconsistent and ugly.

>>56453140

Oh, and the mobile network randomly drops instantly from full signal to no signal now and again too.

>>56453242
are you talking about the rn3p or the rn3?

>>56453272
>>56453292
That sucks anon. with chinks only stick to the known brands Huawei Xiaomi etc. don't bother with the cheap chinkshit, this is where they got this reputation from, it's ain't worth it.

>>56451016
>>56451306
Also Nubia z11 can fit your needs

>>56453242
>>56453308
Both have same bands. they have B2 and B4 that could work on t-mobile and at&t networks, but lacks B12 and B17. so you'll get partial reception depending on your location.

>>56452866
I have one: it was slow after about a month of use, it has way too many junk apps that you can't uninstall. I've had it about a year now and it's almost unusably slow, the charging port is starting to fail, it crashes all the time, and it's just generally shitty. Just buy an iPhone.

I've been thinking about getting honor 8 for a while and am looking for some opinions from the people that use the phone for the day to day tasks.

>>56453124
Look up the bands that it supports and the ones on your carrier. Its not that hard, anon.

Are there any phones that aren't glass and metal with ludicrous amounts of glue? My G3 went missing after I left it for warranty and, the G5 SE which is sold here is not an actual G5, the G4 bootloops and the V10 is way too expensive.

>>56455477
it has a big battery for you.

I'm on a Redmi Note 3 Pro, is there any way to move app data to the SD card without rooting?

I've been looking to root, but first I'd need to unlock the bootloader, and apparently I need to ask Xiaomi to do that, and it takes about 3 weeks for them to unlock it.

>>56455477
Don't use the charger it comes with, it's pure shit.

Not a surprise.

Is it right to buy a redmi note 3 pro?

>>56456251
Sure, as long as it's the 3GB one, for RAM reasons and the fact that you can't move apps to the SD.
The Redmi Note 4 Pro will probably come out in January, and it will probably carry the SD 652, which has the same performance as the 650.

>>56456287

Is the camera as shit as claimed? Crap low light performance doesn't bother me.

>>56456287
>>56455812
> can't move apps to the SD.

>>56456400
I don't know how that stuff works on Xiaomi.
They just updated the RN3P to MIUI 8.0, and some say that ''it's what matters'', but there's no option for that.
No idea when they'll update it to Marshmallow.

Can I use miui without gapps? What do they harvest when using that OS? Is there a stable and good cm build for that phone available?

>>56456419
Pretty much anything as long as it's not chinkshit, they really cut the budget on accesories.
I'm using one from one of my older Samsung phones and works fine.
Used one from my iPod and it works fine too.

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Adapter-5-Feet-Charging-Cables/dp/B00P1A77JG/ref=sr_1_14?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1473190019&sr=1-14&keywords=samsung+charger

This should work fine.

>>56456449
>Can I use miui without gapps?
Sure?
It's based on Android 5.1, I guess you can just uninstall gapps.

I think there's a cyanogen build that's quite stable.

>>56456369
what's this about the OS running a CNN?

for what purpose??

that's like saying:
>Android OS - Running Ray Tracing Algorithm

>>56452729
It should be fine, with Nougat 7.1 and Snapdragon 821 it should last a day of moderate to intense use.

>>56456417
Mi5 and Redmi 3s are on 6.0 but lacks google now on tap and doze, Xiaomi emits features they don't like. not sure about adaptive storage support.

>>56456520
Does the Redmi 3s have adaptive storage support?

I sorely need to root this Sony Xperia m2 I'm using right now.
It looks simple enough to do but I don't have access to a computer.

Their are various apps that say they can do it without a computer but I don't want to risk using them because that just sounds too convenient. And it will probably install bloatware anyway.

This phone is all I have, and it was given to me free. I don't want to risk bricking it.

Should I trust the apps?
Is their another solution?

>>56456573
>>56456417
http://en.miui.com/thread-253678-1-1.html

Guess not.

Best bet is to flash cm13 or RR.

>>56456607
i wouldn't trust those apps

unlock bootloader
flash twrp
install supersu in twrp

>>56454465
Just hold out a bit longer for the Pixel phones to come out

>>56456666
ok satan

>>56456633
So, how do the only way is to unlock the bootloader by asking Xiaomi?

I have a Verizon Galaxy Note 3, Android version 5.0, I just rooted it, and I want to use mobile hotspot without fucking paying Verizon to use a hardware feature of a device I own, but apparently simply rooting it isn't enough anymore?

Just spent the last 2 hours on google only to get things that turn out to only work for like, Android 2 or some shit, or have a big warning that they bootloop Samsung phones, or just "Yeah just go into the settings and turn it on" assuming my provider isn't fucking awful. So I am hoping someone here would know.

>>56456763

My LG G4 bootlooped today. I'm on Verizon and I'm well under one year since purchase. I know that I'll be able to get a replacement from Verizon, but I also know that they don't sell G4s anymore.
Will I be able to weasel my way around and get a different phone all together?

>>56454809
It's a bit larger, but have a look at the OPX

>>56456787
Does the unofficial way carry any disadvantages?
Won't get any problem installing CM13 or rooting or anything, right?

>>56456807
Follow the steps exactly and shouldn't have a problem. the unlock is the same. be ware that flashing other roms wiped your device.

>>56456838
It seems about flashing another MIUI version, i'm in 8.0.1.0, that doesn't matter, right?

>>56453724
Who is your service provider, what state are you in and do you get 4g late consistently?

>>56456904
Well if your'e going to flash CM13 it doesn't really matter.

>>56457159
Yet the screen is still as good in real life performance as the s7. Hmm...

/spg/ how the fuck do I Figure out what version of an AT&T S4 I have if I can't actually boot past the AT&T Logo?

All I've got is the SGH-1337

But there seems to be multiple stock firmware versions.

How would I further specify which phone I have?
A relative gave this thing to me, and after awhile it just stopped behaving, start rebooting randomly, or crashed, then it just restarted and kept locking up at the AT&T logo.

I'm kinda butthurt about being given potentially a brick phone.

Besides redimi note, what is the best price/performance xiaomi to get, around 4.5/5 inch screen. They have opened up a shop here in my country now.

>>56457367
Xiaomi.

>>56457313
Amoled displays are much more comfortable to use in the dark than LCD screens are. I don't really care about having perfect color accuracy and whatnot.

>>56457400
Redmi 3s.

>>5645732
Exact firmware is inconsequential. You can flash them all to see if they work. Just make sure it's 1337 to avoid bricking your phone.

>>56457412
iPhones have night mode which makes the screen easier on the eyes.

Okay so I was about to order the OnePlus 3 yesterday

Then I learned about how """bad""" the pentile display is (and mediocre reception)

So now I'm looking at the Huawei Honor 8 64GB. It's priced 16% higher than the OnePlus 3 in my country.

It really seems like a much better phone, for not much more money?

Non pentile display, dual cameras (I'm a /p/haggot), microSD and it seems to be much nicer """looking""" and 1080p at 120fps.

I don't give a shit about 4k recording.

All other features seem to match (USB type C, fast charging etc)


What's the catch?

>>56457454
Easier, sure. Still not close to as easy as amoled are.

I'll consider Apple again when they make the switch to Amoled.

You don't need an exact Firmware, it just has t o be 1337 Compatible? I've been trying to figure this shit out for a day or so now.

You don't because they will all be flash compatible based on your model. It's mostly trial and error.

>>56457578
XDA has a mega thread on unbricking all S4 iterations. I used that one. As for CM it shouldn't matter there's only one universal ROM for all I337 models.

>>56455869
Haha why would I pay 5x more for a flagship phone, if I can just get a cheap one that can do the same thing, fuck off loser

>>56457575
It's not a minor thing for me at all since I have to use my phone often in dark/low light. Honestly, it's probably the biggest thing after reception for me.

Alright, so I got a Zenfone 2 that I fucking adore, but I kinda damaged it trying to fix some shit, so I'm somewhat looking for a new phone.
I'm looking for something around $200, and compatible with Cricket wireless in the US. Preferably something with 3-4gb of RAM and an SD card slot. Kind of straying away from chinkphones because I don't know how long they are supported, but I also don't really know much of anything about chinkphones, so i'm not entirely counting them out.
Any suggestions? My Zenfone still works as of now, but one of the cables on it is fucked, so I can't connect to a PC to root it, and it can't read any SD cards. Thanks in advance.

Xiaomi just updating a fucking old phone. Their support is arguably better than Apple's, and because they not always update the underlying OS to the latest (android), patching only CVEs, performance doesn't suffer

Ok d00ds, which is the best blacklist/call blocker app for Android? Call Blacklist PRO (from Vlad Lee)?

Also, which music player is /g/ approved? There's anything better than Poweramp?

Unless you go running with it in an armband or have the tiny hands of a nymph you probably won't mind.

I went from a 5" HTC to a 6" Huawei Mate 7 a couple of years a go and within a few days it no longer felt big. Web browsing is a different game on 5.7" and 6" phones, so much better.

>>56460720
Mine came with an adapted to use it on EU sockets, but that's irrelevant.
Just buy a charger from one of the big ones like LG, Samsung or whatever, you should find one for less than 10 bucks.

>>56456451
should give you no problems.

>>56460528
Yeah

Just got one recently and love this thing. I have tiny hands and the size was very easy to get used to and I love having a huge screen for media consumption and it's a pretty good screen even now

Performs well too and gets nougat which is great. I'm running dev preview 5 and it's been great. It goes well with lower dpi because you can fit so much on screen

Why are carriers conspiring to only pick the non-FM versions of every fucking cellphone model? I've researched all the models my carrier sells and most of them are said to support FM radio on GSMarena, yet SOMEHOW my carrier ONLY HAS NON-FM VERSIONS OF THESE.

I'm in Canada. Our data plans are pathetic. I don't have $20 a month to burn so my phone can download an audio stream it could just tune in with a 50 cents piece of hardware because we are literally immersed in it 24/7.

But of course that issue rarely comes up because your average normie douchebag just wants to stream their favorite ongo bongo summer hit from Spotify so they'll gladly dish out the $80 a month to have a decent data plan, and FM radio is for dumb old grampas, right?

FUCK NORMIES AND FUCK THIS GAY EARTH.

They want you to buy data from them. Carriers have actively disabled FM radios on phones they carry for that reason.

>>56461808
>my carrier

I bought a Sony Z3 international version and I wasn't getting great connectivity with Telstra in 4km out of Melbourne. This was about 18 months ago. Ended up returning it.

Would it be possible to use the S7 Exynos with T mobile? I want to know which model number to get bevause the Exynos is better than the sd820 in battery and the dac

>>56462646
No VoLTE so no calls in band 12 only areas (lost of rural places)

>>56462688
So would there be any chance of me getting an s7 Exynos or am I stuck with the shitty sd820?

1. This video should have been 10 seconds long

2. What the fuck iOS

> 5.8 inch screen
> shit cameras for MUH MEGAPIXELS
> 2 CPUs
There are very few good things about this phone.

>>56457504
Oh yeah, you're that faggot.

Fuck you. I'd rather use a mirrorless or a ten-year-old DSLR than use a fucking phone for """""""" /p/hotography"""""""".

I made the mistake of entering Google information after I did a factory reset.

Never again.

If you want apps from the Jewgle store, then use Aptoide.

Fuck Google.

Mine's encrypted by default, so I don't really have a control to compare it to, but mine is reasonably fast.

Go for it.

No.
That shit is so fucking annoying.

(from AliExpress Android)

Did I fuck up?

I found it very intuitive. You slide along the edge of the screen, like you're pulling out a menu in Material. The animation adds to the haptic sensation touch UI/UX's should have, the action itself feels more interactive than pushing a button (much like all the menus in material Design actually), and it conserves screen rel-estate by eliminating a need for buttons. Frankly, I think it would be a fine addition to Android. It already fits into the theme of Material Design (one "sheet" in front of another "surface").

Why do you want to root it?

BlackBerry PRIV owner here, this thing isn't the most powerful, the battery isn't replaceable and the damn thing is nearly unrootable, but I love it.

Get one of the Samshit phones with an attachable keyboard or a Photon Q.

Don't give me that bullshit.

I've used an iPhone 6+ for much longer than I'd like, and that feature is so fucking annoying it isn't even funny.

I'd rather stick to the way iOS 6 and previous did it, with dedicated buttons. SO much better.

Who cares if it takes up one more line of space, what use is the extra screen real estate if it isn't being used efficiently?

>>56464037
I gave you more than just, "I like it" which based on your response is all I should have said. I regret trying to be thorough.

>>56464084
Whatever man.

Which iPhone did your friend have?

Have you ever used anything before iOS 7?

>>56464111
>being this ass smashed that iOS is more intuitive than his mish mash droid toy

>>56464111
6s. I just think the slide feels right. It makes a lot of sense in a touch environment where sliding, pinching, etc, moving around ui elements empower the experience through extra interaction. Google understands this. That's why material Design is so based on moving elements. So as an Android users yourself, I don't understand your problem with this. I would however if you'd say more than just: "it annoys me."

Yes, whatever version is on the 4s, I've used.
