From last thread

Last year my Nexus 4 dropped. Nexus 6p was too expensive and I got a MotoG 2014 1GB/8GB

Buyers remorse since month 2. Nexus 6p is still expensive

Ordered RN3P and a replacement screen for the Nexus 4

Screen change went well so I could

-keep the Nexus 4 one more year (only 8 GB), sell RN3P when it arrives. Moto G as backup phone

-use RN3P and sell MotoG. N4 as backup phone.

I can t sell N4 as the screen replacement is smaller than OEM and it's not well aligned.

What do?

Nexus was OK except for storage, I have a Sandisk Clip+ for music.

Xiaomi is. Another botnet

It's the charging port on Xiaomeme phones. some other anon had the same issue with his new Redmi 3 last week /csg/. you can either send it back for repair (expensive back shipping depending on your location), take it to a repair shop (shouldn't be too expensive) or repair it yourself (autismo).
>>
>>56666054

a battery can be capable of draining yet not be capable of being charged

it's either a loose wire, a bad battery or it's a board in the phone, I would try checking for loose wires and replacing the battery because the board is worth more than the phone

anyone else on kate pissed that you can't even disable the fingerprint sensor.

Even if you don't use it to unlock, brushing up against it wakes the screen no matter what.

>>56666056
Yeah, that's why I ordered it.

But I can use the N4 a few months, save 160€ (I have a buyer for the RN3P) and get the 6p when Pixel launchs

If 6p prices won't drop the RN3P is a good option

So I have an iPhone 6 64GB, is there any need for me to upgrade anytime soon? Don't do much outside of calls/texting/shitposting. Would like to try Android next (fuck iOS 10 I had to downgrade) but not sure if there's any reason to do it now and not in a year or two.

So /spg/, Canadafag here, for the past year my HTC One X has basically been on life support. I'm using Android 5.0.2 through Resurrection Remix ROM, which was OK for a while since it gave me a semi-modern OS, but lately the phone has been almost unusable. I'm ready to move on.

To be honest I still miss my Blackberry 9300 in some ways, and right now the Blackberry Priv is now on for $0 with a two-year term from Bell. The physical keyboard seems like a nice throwback to the good old days, and you get Android out of the box plus guaranteed security updates for at least two more years. Seems pretty good, should I cop? Any issues with this phone that the usual channels don't acknowledge?

I haven't had any problems, must have got a good one. It's been about 2 months I've had it. Charging is slow, but that's probably just fast charging that has spoiled me. Battery life is good though. I can't give any feedback on the mic/ear speaker quality. Back speaker is pretty quiet. Camera is mediocre at best. Screen looks good but colors are very cool and is rough on the eyes in the dark. Nearly stock Android, and there's been OTA security patches (surprisingly).

Keep in mind this wasn't bought as a primary phone, but as a toy. I'm very pleased with it and would use it as my daily driver. Remember it's GSM only.

If you get it, get the one with 2GB RAM, it's only $10 more.

It can be a 5" + display. My concern is it being too big. The biggest phone I've owned is the Moto X II (140.8mm), which was comfortable using it as my main music player (a lot of in and out of pocket action). Not willing to go bigger tho.

Maybe look into the zuk Z2. 3500mAh 5" fhd. Some people at /csg bought it but if you live outside of europe check frequency compatibility at willmyphonework.

Is anyone here using a Redmi Note 3 (or another Xiaomi phone with the same frequency support) on Ting or Sprint? If so, how is it?

Insults work better when the contrary has been demonstrated before you've even implied them.

Hey, I'm a super newfag here, so I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but do you have any advice on which phone I could buy?

In the chaos that remained the huawei P9 plus looked good, but it seems to always run low compared with other phones in sites comparisons.

The jump into iOS isn't too drastic, to be fair. But, that being said, I'd personally stick to android. I switched to iOS because I wanted to get the iPhone experience and the 6s looked great at the time. But, that being said, I'm ready to switch to a Note 7 once they're fixed.

I'm most worried about giving up Google Voice. Also concerned tie-ins with Gmail. Chromecast, etc won't be as good as they could be.

Then again Chromecast on Android can be buggy as shit anyway.

That's what has me frustrated enough to switch teams. I feel like I've been waiting forever for Android to finally be 'done' and even on Nexus devices it feels like a perpetual beta. Developers only care about iOS because it's easier to standardize an experience. Even Snapchat is total shit on Android.

It is a good phone. The car audio really got my goose though and I have noticed some touchwiz lag which makes me wary of how the software will progress with time.

do you ever try to make deals with the sales people at a store?

I knew a guy who worked at a cell phone store and I asked him to tell me when they were going to have a good sale, he said "everything is always on sale you just have to ask" So i went in there after figuring out about what they made on a new activation/contract and made it seem like i was just looking and really wanted to go with another provider

Me and the manager talked for awhile and at the end I told him "you guys are buying out contracts of other people and sometimes you have really big sales to get people in the door on one product, if I can tell you what I want and you can do it for X a month I'll do it right now

Wound up putting 100dolllars down and walked out with an S7 and a 45$ per month unlimited talk and text 3gb data a month bill for 2 years

I have one myself and am on the list to swap it for a new one when they're in stock.

Best phone I've had so far. Was nervous about it because of the scratch resistance but my screen is flawless so far without any protection. It doesn't even attract smudges and fingerprints as bad as previous glass.

Considered trading for an S7 Edge but after trying my friend's I really dislike how steep the edges are. Didn't want the smaller normal S7 screen. His also scratched in the first week from a case he got for it.

I'm looking for a new phone since my shitty LG G4 got the bootloop shit, but I can't get something as expensive as that.
What do you do think of the Sony Xperia C5?
>>
>>56671674
Did you get the G4 from a carrier? I took mine to my carrier and they mailed a replacement to me next day. Replacement worked fine until I upgraded.

Yes, but my warranty expired literally two months after my phone bricked itself. They still tried to help me remove the bootloop but they couldn't do shit.

I called LG Support and simply told me to fuck off because my 1-year warranty already expired. I told them I understood that and asked them if they could put some technician on the line so he could suggest me what to do on my own and I shit you not they said "No we can't, bye".
>>
>>56671772
Damn that sucks. I guess I got lucky that it happened like five months after I got it. Gonna be staying away from LG for a while even though the V20 looks nice.
>>
>>56671626
Cool thanks.

Other thoughts were a Moto G or S4 both are about 150. Either way it will be strickly wifi shits and giggles it won't be on any phone service.

Well, I'm not surprised by that kind of reaction tbqh. We don't get the same level of customer service you get in the U.S. compared to here in Spicland. But I also heard other anons here on /g/ had many issues with LG when asking them to fix their bootloop thing on their G4/G5.
>>
>>56672339
When I got a bootloop on my V10, I went through AT&T 1st and luckily still under the 1 year warranty. I got a replacement before they got backed up.

Will iPhone6 be outdated soon or is it still worth getting?

Going to be honest this >>56672437

They aren't bad phones, but its a really unethical company. And they are marketed to the facebook/instagram girls and they are good for that and little else. They are really good at that, but if you want to do something else you are fucked.

Turn it on

WRONG

You gotta take it out of the box first, dummy.
>>
>>56672437
Not true. If you want a phone that excels at the basics, an iPhone is the way to go.
>>
So any contenders in the range with BLU RH1 or S4? Just for some gaming.

Moto G is out because not enough ram.

>>56672528
Depends on the android you tried, most 'android' aren't real android they are mash of crap manufactures added and ruined. It wasn't that good before 3.0 either or well 4.0, but then again Iphones weren't until the 5 either which was a similar time frame.

I mean if basics and iOS is what you want 6 is an option.

I should wait until the Pixel phones before I buy a Nexus 6P right?

You have to get a Verizon model because of CDMA. Also, some Verizon note 4s can be bootloader unlocked, if it has a Samsung emmc.

So i ended dropping my S5 active on the weekend and the glass is shattered to fuck but the screen underneath is undamaged.

How easy is it to change the glass yourself ? So far i have had all repair shops and samsung themselves say no as its an American import and never sold this model out here.

Only other fix out here is to replace the screen which cost about a 1/2 of what i paid for the phone

Poor as shit so hoping to get a sub $200 phone. I looked at the Redmi Note 3 Pro and everything looks great aside from the lack of NFC. If there's nothing recommended I might just go with the RN3P.

Is it worth buying a 16gb Mi Max?

I only want it for manga because my workplace doesn't allow us to bring in tablets or other "Personal Entertainment Devices". There's lots of downtime and they don't care what we do on our phones but you can't bring in other devices.

Don't intend to use it as my daily driver and I would prefer to spend less because I already have a tablet.
>>
>>56673895
Basically it depends on how much you want LTE speeds

If you do, you get a cheap phone like a Blu R1 HD, Moto G4, or Honor 5X. If you get good Tmobile signal in your area and don't need faster speeds, get the Redmeme.

No idea, but it's getting new builds almost every day and I'm pretty sure the FP reader works on it now.

The default rom isn't terrible, it's just bloated and chinese which means it looks like a material iOS. The phone doesn't get too hot despite being a 61X chip, the FP reader is decently fast, no issues even on the stock rom.

Does anyone on Virgin Mobile (in the US) know if their sim cards can be moved to another phone? I have their data done right plan, which, because of how poorly built their system is, is currently effectively giving me free service.

Its a normal sprint card, so theoretically it should work, right?

You don't even have to go refurb, Z3s are in the $200-300 range brand new and are still quality phones.
>>
>>56674858
Is the z3 good? Bloatware? Is the Sony version of android responsive? 3GB ram, 1080p screen and the rest seem fine.
>>
>>56674842
No I am not.
Smartphones are devices designed to immediately deteriorate, buying one that Cletus McGill has used for a year and handed back under contract will always net you a half functional device.

A refurbished S5 still costs more than a Redmi Note 3 pro, so you might as well pick the cheaper option without the fucked battery.
>>
>>56674896
I have the Z3 compact, it's the best phone I've ever owned.

Sony's additions are very light and easily ignored. Some of it (like the Stamina and Ultra Stamina modes) is fantastic.

>Is the Sony version of android responsive?
Two years later it's still zippy for me. It does reload apps and web tabs pretty often though, if you're concerned about ram. The Z3 might not as much, I think it has 1GB more RAM than the compact.
>>
>>56675046
I'm just not sure, there is a z3 for 170€ used here, a Motorola nexus 6 for 220€ used and the redmi note 3 pro for ~180€ after customs new from China. I don't want to be stuck with a fucked battery and I'm not sure whether I should spend more on something like a oneplus 3.
>>
>>56675046
Is the battery of new (packaged never used) old phones (2 or three years old) deteriorated in any way?
>>
>>56675120
I doubt it, but to perfectly honest I don't really know.

I can say that after two years of daily use I can still usually get almost two days out of my Z3c on Stamina mode, long as I'm not playing any games. Can't imagine a new battery would fare worse, even one that's been sitting in a warehouse for a long time.
>>
>>56675120
Yes, but not terribly.
It would come down to how they were stored - if it was humid and hot, then I would expect a decrease in battery life to be sure.

I bought my Galaxy 4 in mint condition off of fleabay for $100, and that was nearly a year ago.

The only thing that sucks, is if you us a CM ROM, you'll notice some screen burn-in at the top from the TouchJizz UI, because of those shitty Super AMOLED screens. But only on white background.

Fucking fantastic phone. A bit laggy, though great all around.
