Who else still has their +2yrs old phone and still happy with it? I see people replacing their phones almost each year but I'm curious if people here still have theirs for more time.

>>56461399
Happy with my nexus 5. In its third year now, just needs a new battery and it'll be good for at least one more year minimum. SD800 truly was a beast for its time

Seems like Motorola phones as a whole are under rated. Bought the Moto X Pure off a buddy. Barely used for $200. Easily one of the best phones I've used. Great screen, solid construction, front facing speakers, and battery life of easily a day and a half. Custom ROM and recovery support doesn't hurt either.

I like my G3 except the RR ROM I was using has broken calling functionality but functional everything else in the most recent build.

I guess I'll try a CM nightly.

Moto G2 here. Are newer ones still worthy? Anyway, how your battery lasts you 2 days? You don't use much screen time?

my G1 fucked up, had the dreaded Wi-Fi bug, couldent fix it, same issue nexus phones get it seems..

Anyhow, only real downside with the 3G and i assume 4G is that it has no fucking notification lights.

so god damn annoying
>>
>>56462267
Around 1h of gaming and ~3 hours of internet browsing/social media garbage each day (around 5-6 hours of sot in both days in total).
If I give it really intensive use, it last the whole day.
Dunno about the new Moto phones, those seems to be okay spec-wise, but Lenovo is kinda missing the point of the E-G-X line, specially now that they are making 3 different G phones, with one of them having a price way beyond the expected for a mid-range series.

>>56462307
What do you mean? G1 and 4G have a notification light, although is just a white one.

Same here. The 4.5" form is perfect to keep it in a pocket and use it easily with one hand.
I don't like 5" and larger phones.
But now that Sony botched their new compact phone, it seems there is no remaining option below 5"...

Im using a hand me down iphone 5. At first i hated the os coming from android but ive gotten used to it. I like the size of this phone and its fast enough for me. I just wish the battery didnt die after 3 hours of web browsing.
Ill keep it around until i break it completely like i have all my phones.

>>56461399
Nexus 4

Maintained my own OS until around 6.0 and lost interest (everything became close source anyway for 7.0)

Dropped it many times, still works, battery is good enough if I keep screen dim, lasts almost the entire day.

I don't do shit on my phone. I have a calendar full of appointments and scheduled study times, I have email I only check twice a day for productivity reasons. I keep open a slow, IRC like chatroom where my friends and I keep in contact by just shitposting to a general chatroom instead of using AIDSbook or Twitter or other cancerous social media.

I also use it to call people, read papers during downtime i jacked off scihub, and have only 3 apps, 2 of which I wrote myself to stay minamalist. An HN app, a tiny weather app, and a banking app.

Don't do anything else with it except sometimes test sensor manipulating software for research that's it.

I'm holding out for something besides Android so I don't have to upgrade to the Tim Cook meme (android is now a closed source lost cause)

Just upgraded to a Galaxy S5 over my old S3 with a free hand-me-down. Screen glitches that made them replace it was just a loose ribbon cable, kek. I miss my extended battery tho. Could get another one but cba.

I used an LG G2 for a few years. Gave it to my dad because he left my moto g original out in the rain. Now I have an LG G5 after having had an LG G4 for half a year. I'd still use the LG G2 if I didn't have to give it to my dad.
>>
bought a Moto /g/4 plus on Monday and already love it. it's fast, feels good to use and the camera is nothing short of brilliant. the only thing I dislike about it is that the buttons are on the screen and not fixed into the device itself.
Are there any custom Roms or the root unlocker out for it yet?
>>
>>56461399
LG G3

This phone was good until early this year when the battery started to go completely fucking shit and would over heat. The phone also randomly restarts, turns off, and the phone is overall laggy. I'm going to replace it with the S7 edge because I want good battery life and a good phone.

My first smartphone was a shitty ZTE, replaced it with G3 and now hopefully getting the S7 edge. Third time's the charm r-right?

Sounds like my old HD2. Tried to revive it while I was between phones. For some reason the 850Mhz band was broken. Radio issues. Would decide it was roaming just for fun.

Finally got it working on a WP 7.8 ROM and then the screen gave out.

I've used a Moto G 4G up until a month ago, when I got my hot new Redmeme Note 3 Pro.

I really liked the 1st gen G. Really great for the price, feels nice in the hand, light, decent enough specs for daily use. However, I wanted something with a bigger screen and some more power for multitasking. Especially playing sound over bluetooth lagged occasionally when browsing at the same time.

I still keep the Moto G as a backup phone, though. Planning to install CM13 on that soon and making it lean and mean so it can serve me another year for going out / drinking / vacations when I don't want to take my xboxhueg/brand new R3NP because of pocket size and the danger of losing it.

i had a moto g 4g, and it was a great phone.
I used it until ~ march of this year when I get something better suited to my needs. After updating the 4g to official 5.x the phone became incredibly laggy and unstable, often rebooting a number of times per day, freezing, and often failing to last through the day due to google services consuming large amounts of CPU time. I tried out CM based roms for months that never actually alleviated the issues and often had their own problems. Tried to remove google services from the stock rom, but that breaks nearly all of the subsystems like the mail fetcher, gps and maps, etc.

As a replacement, i got another 2014 phone, a blackberry. Im happy as can be with it. It with some sense of irony is running android apps faster than my moto g did, and it has half the cores, and has to run the apps inside a VM...maps/navigation also work without play services on it, which is a nice big +

I use a moto g 2nd gen, (best gen imho), and it just works.

Still gonna upgrade to either OnePlusMeme or ZenFone 3, mainly because 1gb ram wont cut it anymore for these new apps.

I love motorola, but their price for value has gone wonky. A napkin designed phone with snap 617 with 4gb for 250? nah man do better, 30 bucks more and you can get both looks and specs.
>>
>>56468881
They're Lenovo now. I'm seriously considering the ZenFone 3 as a replacement for my Moto G LTE. The RAM is small and the battery gets intensely hot. I think the ZF would be a great upgrade for the price.

Oh yeah i forgot about the hot thing. I was meaning to post about this.

While playing Pokemon Go (or barely playing it) on my Moto G2, it gets too hot to put in my pocket and gets my hand sweaty so I cant accurately chuck the 3fps balls and the stuttering jerky ass fucking pokemans.

This is what convinced me that its time has come.

>>56469409
Same man. Phone was £140 when I got it, great budget phone while I was a student, but it's time to replace it! I'm still not sure what to go for yet but I'm still paying off my overdraft so I've got plenty of time to decide. As long as it doesn't get hot and I can put an SD card in, I'm happy.

How is the screen burn in going for ya? Bought a nexus 6 from a guy, physically in perfect condition with still a year of warranty, and i can clearly see the burn in from the softkeys when bottom of screen is a solid color, especially with white.

If it gets even worse i might send it back right before warranty expires so atleast i have a fresh display before warranty expires :)
