first for SE best phone ever

Do you use screen protectors? Why and what kind?

I love feeling the naked glass on my skin but I'm terrified of getting a blemish on my HTC10

>>56465490
I had screen protector on my Honor 6. Some cheap ebay shit. Damn it got many blemishes so I removed the protector

I havn't had any damage to the screen yet, been 4 months without.

>>56465307
You misspelled Z5C

>>56465623
before the SE came out I wanted to get the z3c or z5c desu
I really like android but I already have a macbook and the integration between osx and ios seems sweet

Doze is pure magic if you don't use your phone all day.

So it seems, Honor 8 uses the same camera setup as the P9.

But it's gimped as hell, can't specifically use the BW module

What the hell.

Honor 8 vs OnePlus 3?

So what's a good, medium or high end Android with stock OS coming out in the next few months, if any?

>>56465834

Zenfone 3 over all

>>56465490
I would recommend tempered glass, because it has the best feeling and protects properly. But it's fragile as fuck. If your are from US it shouldn't be a big deal to get it.

First review I found calls it over priced but it's only like £250. This looks like a really good phone.

>>56465754
Still far inferior to iphones' standby drain unfortunately.

I want to upgrade my S4, its getting old. Currently waiting for the Zenfone 3 to come out in Australia.

Willing to spend up to 650 dollarydoos.

>>56466318
Was meant to ask if theres any other phones you recommend. I'm a fucking idiot.

I'm going to be buying a z5 compact. so yeah that's my suggestion be I am a >>56466087

>>56466231
IPhone has better standby? Maybe google fixes it in future releases.

Its miles better than 5.1.1 though. Had to charge my phone every two days despite barely using it.

I switched from iOS 2 years ago, the HTC One M7 and M8 made me do it.

Android is the biggest piece of shit. The file manager and not being tied to iTunes is the only reason I'm stuck to it.

Google is a terrible company, android is built to mine data, the battery drainers on standby are google services, which doze cannot turn off.

>>56467704
I have no gapps installed :^)

>>56465754
What phone

Is there any way to root/unlock/flash a RN3P with Linux?

>>56467853
Xperia ZR

Don't buy it. There are better phones out there.

>>56466417
three days ago I left my 2 year old iphone 5s out of the charger at 83% overnight and I woke up with 82%

>>56467721
i'm on nexus 5x, how i uninstall gapps? Can i leave just calendar, keep, and sheets? I actually use those all the time.

If I got a note 7 for free
Would it be worth switching from my lg g4 to the note 7?

The V20 is a powerhouse
If LG copied the S-Pen and had that same sort of functionality, they'd blow the Death Note 7 out of the park.
Let's hope they're streets ahead by the time V30 comes out.

>>56465265
looking for something I can easily put cyanogenmod on and has good battery life, considering the nexus 5

>>56468265
Google has some shady things in place. Alot of stuff rely on Google Play Services. Even Third Party Apps.

For example popular games like Clash of Clans use Google Games for saving. Meaning you cannot play without having Google games installed. Google Games relies on GPlay services

>>56468059
Yeah I wouldn't willingly buy an Xperia anything

>>56468265
Root and remove them I guess. But I am not sure if google calendar relies on google apps framework. Try it and see for yourself.

The LG V20 was almost perfect if it'd had the 821 in it.

hey canadanons
if you use dhl look to pay around 30$
total cost of my xiaomi redmi note 3 pro is 245$

I've got a Xiaomi Redmi 3S coming from GearBest.
What should I do as soon as it gets here?
What's the story about "Bootloader Unlocking" needing approval?

>>56468781
Is there that much of a difference between that and the 820?

How do SAR values happen ? The redmi 3s has a far lower sar than the redmi 3.

I have a galaxy S7 Edge, should I switch to the new nexus/pixel when it comes out.

>>56468807
The total is still less than I thought it would be

Where did you buy it from?

>>56469289
thanks lad you saved me

>>56467721
This would increase your Phone's battery life by a few hours m8. There's a alternative for everything.

>>56468891
It's probably just a overclocked 820...

>>56467704
You sound like a huge faggot.

>>56468051
No. run a VM with Win 8 x64 for the unlocking and flashing process.

>>56468372
>good battery life
>nexus 5
No.

>>56468841
It will have a chinky vendor rom, flash the global rom when you get it asap.

>>56469289
>>56469444
Note that this is the Taiwan version(kate) so any case you'll buy won't fit on it, its taller. might wanna but the normal version (kenzo).

>>56469706
kek its in the city
i'm fucked
should learn to do better research instead of impulse buying

>>56469817
Oh..
Well at least it has more bands if that's what you need.
Otherwise you could leave it unopened and return it but that's quite a hassle.

I suppose the same shop has compatible cases though, they have it in the order options.

>not amoled, but still a high quality 1440p 5.7 inch display with sRGB color balance settings
>SD + removable battery!
>LG Skin ov Nougat is very minimal, removes no features, only adds. UI Tweaks are minor
>drop resistant build (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=or7rwO7wuSU)
>second screen is a useful gimmick
>best video AND audio recording on the market
>best camera (for the next hour at least)

so unless there's some bootlooping or other shenanigans, I'd say LG has a winner tbqh

>>56469817
>>56469886
Oh, and don't flash any CM13or custom roms on it, they are all for kenzo and it will brick your device.
You can flash the global rom though.

A friend is offering to swap his iPhone 6 for my Oneplus One cause he hates it so much.
Are there any significant downsides besides the small screen and locked down OS compared to the One? I don't rice my phones and mostly use it for shitposting and ssh with the occasional text and email thrown in.
Should I agree?

>>56470165
do it faggot

>>56470165
Couldn't you or your friend just sell your/his Ishit 6 for a better phone?

I'm looking to get the Redmi Note 3 Pro but the version which supports LTE B20 is only available in Gold. Should I get the Redmi 3S?

>>56470222
what 'better' phone do you have in mind, don't think there is any i could buy with the ~200 i'd get for the One.

Help me out pussyfarts.
So I've had this Nexus 5 since it's release but now that I need to use it more I realized that it's battery just isn't cutting anymore.
So I want a bloat-light 5" phone with good battery and SD card compatible. I don't care for camera or playing games.

>>56470368
see

about cases and roms.

what's the best phone for demanding games that's around 400-500 euros/dollars?

Anybody UK based bought a Redmi 3 Pro? How much did it cost you? Is the OS good or should I look for an alternative like CM?

Get in here fags

Redmi Note 3 Pro as a shit mic. Fuck me.

Figures this is a good place to ask.

Managed to fuck up my Moto G (1st generation). Touchscreen got a crack across the top part (didn't affect the LCD, I think, since the image is still clear). Thing is, touch doesn't work on that top part.

Can I replace only the glass or do I need to replace everything?

>>56471155
I got mine from topone store on aliexpress so I could avoid import tax and the os is trash, get cm immediately

>>56471391
Replace everything including the phone

>>56471484
What did it run you, pal? I figured CM would be a go to.

>>56468841
Make a mi account and apply for bootloader unlocking rights just put 'dev purposes' when they ask for a reason. It usually takes a few days so make an account and apply now before it arrives

Very candid talk about the V20 with an LG Senior director. Pretty interesting

Nintendo partnering with Apple. It's over Android.

>guaranteed bootloop in a year
no thanks.

>>56470030
>so unless there's some bootlooping or other shenanigans, I'd say LG has a winner tbqh

The phone looks great, but I just can't buy it. I don't trust LG at all to make something that won't bootloop and we won't know if the V20 is going to for 10-12 months.

>>56472035
What does bootloop mean in this context? Do LG phones just die very fast?

>>56472192
without fail the G4, V10, and now G5 are seeing hardware related bootloops roughly 9-10 months after purchase

>>56472241
What so, you restart the phone and it just doesn't launch the OS? How the fuck are they so popular and acclaimed?

>>56472363
It's nice that they've acknowledged the issue and will repair phones but it feels like they should have cracked the issue by now.

Guess I'm skipping on an LG.

Will redmeme 4p have US bands or will we be cucked again

>>56472839
Probably not.

Just got my OP3 and fell for the screen protector meme. Will it prevent cracks, or just scratches?

Who else here is going to get the Google Pixel when it launches next month?
For those who don't know, Google's new phones will no longer be called Nexus, they'll be Pixel.

HTC is making it and if the HTC 10 told us anything, it's going to be a great phone.

>HTC quality
>pure Android
>no bloatshit and waiting forever for updates

Hasn't been confirmed yet about an SD slot or removable battery. We'll just have to wait until it gets closer to launch.

Apple is killing it. God tier watches.

>>56469706

How do I do thus global rom flash? Do you have a link?

>>56470057

Can I first flash the global dev rom and after that flash cm13 on a Redmi note 3 pro?

Replace the RN3P rom with the correct fastboot rom for R3S from here:
http://en.miui.com/a-234.html

>>56475415
Yeah you have to flash dev rom to unlock. but roms are for kenzo not kate (taiwan version with B20).

>>56470057
holy fuck I super fucked up then

>>56475746
My GS5 did the first two anyway...

>>56473772
what meme? Fuck I just ordered it with the tempered glass

>>56476604
Return it for a full refund senpai. RN3P regular edition already has B4 and B12 for most Canadian and American carriers. B20 is good for Europe and the other bands are not used in NA either.

>>56475746
Is it 2014 still?

>>56475909

Thank you!
What do you mean by kento, kate and taiwan version?

>>56477422
I'm gonna have to eat the dhl import fee at any rate right?

Not at all. The mic is pretty amazing, actually both mics on the RN3P have an excellent audio quality.

Source: My GF says so when I talk with her. Had a Lumia 920 before, which already had a decent mic.

Looking for a new phone to replace my LG G2, have had my eye on the Zenphone 3, but Asus has yet to give a U.S. release date, and i'm not sure what else is out there.

Here's my criteria-
>Max at $300, may go over 50~100 if need be
>Powerful CPU (I emulate via RetroArch, and from what I understand, emulation is more CPU-intensive than GPU
>Low input lag if possible (I plan on having my DS4 hooked up to it via micro USB cable)
>Good GPU for regular droid vidya
>Good camera
>Good battery
>Micro SD expansion
>Good support for custom ROMs (Currently using Resurrection Remix, though It's been a while since I've dabbed into this)

Maybe I should just buy a fucking portable battery and keep it on my backpack?

Never buying samsung again. I had it 90 days and it is bricked itself already. Just out of warranty. I should have bought a chinkphone for half the price or less.

I recently ordered the Galaxy Note 7 from Verizon...The day before the recall. They said it would ship by september 16th, but that was before the recall was announced so I have absolutely so idea when I will receive my Note 7. Verizon has stopped all sale of the Note 7 until Samsung figures this out. But how long could that take? and since i ordered it, I don't physically have the Device so I can't just trade it in as easy as other note 7 owners. I'm considering canceling the order to get my money back and purchasing the Galaxy S7 Edge instead. What should I do? any ideas? Is it worth it?

>>56480390
Cancel that time bomb and get S7E.

Is there some custom ROM/Kernel or whatever it's called for the Nexus 5 that helps it's battery life or am I just fucked? I just use Whatsapp and Twitter for like 20 minutes and the battery is halfway gone.
>>56480566
Yeah, it's usually a bad idea. And I've never heard of that one before but I do think there's Xiaomi shit here somewhere.

>>56480845
I really wanted to love the v20 but the battery really killed it for me. The dac is super cool and appeals to my audiophilic tendencies but these days I'm almost never listening to headphones and i have a headphone amp anyway. And one of the things i love about the note7 is that the bottom row of buttons is below the screen, not part of it. I also hang out at the pool a lot so that ip68 is really dope.

I still want to play with the v20. Maybe ill fall in love anyway

Are there any good car chargers for the Galaxy S7 that are chinese shit that'll kill me during a long commute? Preferably with quick charge.

I got a phone charger from T-mobile but I guess it doesn't support Qualcomm's QC. Kind of a rip off for $30 unless it's actually good enough to last me a decade

Anyone here have a Moto G 4 Plus? If so, what's your opinion on it?

>>56477923

Haha i also own a lumia 920 and am now waiting till my RN3P arrives

>>56481982

Need a new cheap phone, as similar as possible to the galaxy s3. The galaxy s5 is €200 and the oneplus 3 is €400. I only need good cyanogenmod support and decent perfromance for chrome (there's a snapdragon-optimized version).

Is the s5 still a good choice? It still has cm13 nightlies.

Looking at the nexus 5x but one concern I have is the proprietary
>The /vendor partition on the Nexus 5X contains important proprietary binaries. CyanogenMod installation does not touch that partition, therefore it is the user's responsibility to keep the proprietary binaries up to date. To do that, you can extract the vendor.img from the newest factory image for the Nexus 5X, located here.

what are these proprietary binaries am I paranoid for thinking they're backdoors and spyware? does anyone have more information on them it's the only thing stopping me from pulling the trigger

Babby's first supposed softbrick?

Can't get past the "Powered by Android" screen but can access recovery (reboot/factory reset/nuke cache/logs).

Eventual searching got me to a stock ROM to use with flash tools but it doesn't seem to be doing anything.

I've gotten the supposed driver installed (MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM Port) with a device status of "This device cannot start. (Code 10)".

I load the scatter, untick preloader, and click download and nothing happens.

Alcatel One Touch 5017B (cheap shit)

I had tried Kingo earlier today and friend suggesting swapping it out for SuperSU, so I spent a few hours failing that. Eventually I reached a point where the two were fighting for permissions (but denied the request) so I thought rebooting and getting to that point again would finally free me.

The specific XDA post that redirected to the stock I'm trying to flash brought me here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/rom-alcatel-onetouch-flash-6042d-stock-t3256352

iOS is way faster than Android can ever hope to be.

ppi is more important than total resolution. You're dumb. The ppi on the iPhone 7 is high enough to create an image with no visible pixels

iTunes is fine. don't see your point.

Do the high end Android devices have a price drop in the weeks following a new iPhone announcement/release?

>>56483178

No I used it normally to play some shitty game, I always though that there was no difference but it was obvious when I used one (iphone 6) for the first time, coming from 1080p.

It didn't look horrible but it was definitely worse.

Don't know if anything past 1080p is a meme though, just that there is a very clear difference between 750p and 1080p.

>>56483214
There are no decent Android devices other than OnePlus 3 which will stay at 400 bucks.

NEED REPLIES!

Now that the iPhone 7 has come out, I feel like it might be a good choice to get.

iPhone 7/7+ or Galaxy S7 Edge or Note 7?

Or if none of the 3 choices, what else should I get then?

>>56484089
If between those definitely whichever size iPhone you'd be more comfortable with.

>>56484133

Open to the other options too. The iPhone is going to $900ish for me in Canada and I don't want to get cucked into a shit phone that faces slow down.

Should last me 3 years.

>>56484162
>I don't want to get cucked into a shit phone that faces slow down.
That's exactly why I recommend you stay away from Samsung.

>>56484242
Ditto. Samsung and android phones for the most part suck after a few years. Their is OS gets way too bloated for my taste.

>>56484242

Okay, thanks for the info! Any other sleek and sexy phones that won't get the cuck slowdown? I really like the design but I'm willing to refrain from getting one to get a experience that won't slow down. Battery life consistency over the years is good, although, I do carry around with me a 10K battery supply.

What's the best android photo editor?

>>56484350
For just removing peoples names and such, I just use Snapchat and open up a conversation with myself, use the edit tool when sending a picture, send it to myself, and then screenshot it.

It's a bit tedious but I don't really like the other photo editing apps.

When is Qualshit going to be able to compete with Samsung and Apple in top end SoCs?

>>56481982
Anker has some okay QC 2.0 and 3.0 chargers for around the same

I'd return it desu

>>56484053
Op3 if you like custom roms
Axon 7 if you like music

Also you could aim for lower priced phones, like a Moto X Pure, or a Redmi note3 pro if you're outside the US

I haven't owned a smartphone for my whole life, but, as the only phone retard left, I have to get one for social and professional simplicity purposes.

>Country

Canada

>Carrier

Probably Rogers.

>Features

Anything that isn't Apple meme tier. That means changeable battery, micro USB ports, preferably an acceptable camera.

>Budget

I don't want to spend a whole lot on it knowing it's not going to be used a whole lot. Somewhere around 250$, less is better.

>>56484765
After reading a bit, I'm thinking about getting the Xiami Redmi Note 3. Is it a good choice?

Ordered a Moto X Pure the other day. Going to try out Android for a while, and decide whether I want to upgrade my iphone 5s to the new nexus/pixel, or wait for the 10th anniversary iphone (which will probably have about the specs of the moto x pure :^) ).
Good plan or nah?

>>56484294
Wait for the Pixel phone, that may be what youre looking for.

I would recommend it. I got a scratch on my brand new galaxy s7 edge from playing beach volleyball.

Is the galaxy 7 good? I thought about buying it but the battery is making me reconsider it.

Am I reading this right? $750+ and no quick charge on the iphone 7?
Brand loyalty is a powerful thing

>Post a mini-review of your phone

Had my Note 7 for a few weeks.

>despite Gorilla Glass 5 having shit scratch resistance, it's still scratch free with no screen protector
>GG5 is also much smoother to the finger than GG4 and is wayyy more smudge resistant. Rarely have to wipe the screen
>Battery is much better than my previous phone, the LG G4. I had to swap batteries all the time with the G4. Luckily LG gave me a free battery with charger because it was necessary to keep the phone running.
>iris scanner is neat but it has trouble with my glasses so I just stick to fingerprint
>the bluetooth works much better than my old G4, connects to my head unit faster and never has connection issues
>don't care for the edge features so I turned it off, but the curved edge is awesome because it almost removes the bezels

Best phone I've owned so far. Not really worried about the chance of it being a bomb but I don't mind getting a free replacement.

Silly question, but can I flash a recovery without making changes to any other place on the phone? I used the generic TWRP instead of the one given by the guy who maintains the official Cyanogen build for the Redmi Note 3.

What phone has the best battery life?

>>56486575
Can't be brand loyalty because I've been with Android for years but if the Pixel doesn't deliver I'm buying an iPhone 7 Plus. Also yes there is quick charging

Hi /spg/. I started working on an updated android guide for 2016, and I wanted to post it here to get some more feedback.
Please tell me if there are any apps I'm missing or any other improvements you can think of.

>>56487232
I want you to be right though. It's that or the iPhone 7. Would buy a V20 but too much shit about bootloops.

>>56487271
he's probably right, but it will be expensive.
I think half the reason google is moving away from the nexus name is because nexus was always associated with budget phones, and they want to move into the premium market to compete more directly with the iphone.

>>56487294
Yeah. Google should design the hardware themselves and outsource manufacturing like Apple does instead of letting chinks design and manufacture it. That would be a big step in teh right direction imo

>>56487368
I like where they're going, but at the same time I find it hard to justify spending around $450 on a phone when I could get one for $250-$300 that will last me just as long and really won't be a huge difference.
Maybe by the time I get my next phone upgrade I'll have a stupid amount of expendable income laying around that i can splurge on a nice phone.

>>56487407
Why does everyone buy phones at full price, why not have a contract and switch phones when new ones come out?

>>56487461
I use verizon and as far as I know they've completely moved away from contracts.
It's just monthly payments for how much shared data and the smartphone fees.

>>56487461
I don't have any credit to get a plan. Only 20 and my parents won't help so I just buy my phones out right.
Thinking about buying a Iphone 6s since the 7 has been announced. I currently have a Galaxy S5 with tmobile prepaid.

>>56487461
I'll never buy a phone on contract or one with carrier bloatware shit on it again. I'm just going to get phones that work on all the carriers so I can switch whenever I want to.

Idk, all I really do is listen to music, watch videos sometimes, and get on 4chan.

It would be nice to be able to use my phone as mobile storage, and not having a 3.5mm jack sucks.

I've heard that the iPhone will have much better battery life though, and that's a huge plus for me.

I'm planning to buy a smartphone for my fiancée this coming Christmas
She has basically never owned a smartphone other than a cheap Lenovo

So I was thinking of buying her the iPhone 7
I am 100% certain she couldn't care less about the removal of the 3.5mm jack or the bulging camera
She would probaly want a nice new phone with good camera and good processor

No problem with the price tag. I can afford it just fine.

>>56479483
Don't get the j5. My friend has one and it literally froze when she tried to open snapchat and messenger while looking at the notifications. I mean. I could expect that kind of thing from a smartphone that was made in let's say 2012 with a price tag of 300$. But not from the one made in 2016.

>>56488471
You should take advantage of all that your phone is capable of. See how it can fit your lifestyle. Aside form obvious stuff like web browsing, email, texting, social media etc. I produce rap beats for local rappers and I'll record quick melodies and song I ideas I come up with. Or write verses since most the "rappers" around here don't know how to do that themselves. Sometimes people come to me with a song they like and say that they want something of a similar tempo, so I use a BPM counting app. I travel al ot too so maps is useful

I am absolutely /waitingforpixelXL/

I had a good look at the HTC10 in the Telstra Shop and it is impressive, great looking screen, feels premium and thin in the hand, aesthetic as fuck. If the XL is like the 10 with a bigger screen it will be glorious. And it's probably going to be subsidised on plans so I won't have to pay bullshit Australian outright price for it.

Someone explain the AMOLED screen meme to me. I played with a phone that has one and it didn't look any different from IPS, with an added malus of burn-in.

Can someone advise me? I'm trying to decide between the Redmi 3s Pro 3GB or the Redmi Note 4 2GB version... The price difference is about $20, but I'm partial to having an extra gig of RAM and a half-inch smaller screen. How do the two compare in terms of gaming, batterylife and picture?

>>56491498
http://www.kimovil.com/en/compare/xiaomi-redmi-3s-3gb-32-gb,xiaomi-redmi-note-4

X20 on the RN4 is more than twice as fast as SD430.
Camera is definitely better too.
Battery life is better on the 3s because smaller screen, lower res and SoC isn't as power hungry.

So gaming and pictures = RN4
Battery=R3S.
