Have they made capacitive styluses that aren't big pieces of poop yet? I have a wacom intuos pen that I use on my ipad which works fine on such a large screen but I imagine using one on a phone it would just dwarf a big chunk of it and I wouldn't even see what I'm working on.

Currently on Verizon and in need of a new phone. Wanted a Z5C but it's not available on CDMA networks :(

Last two phones have revealed themselves to be lemons quickly, but not within the complementary insurance month. My Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S5 had and have horrifying battery life that resets and battery replacements do not fix. Now I'm being bombarded by network issues that make my S5 almost useless.

I'm not a fan of the current android phones being released, and I really dislike the size being forced. The S5 is already too big for my tastes (and I'm 6'3" with proportional hands). Thinking about getting an SE, but I haven't had an apple product in a long while.

Has anyone here made the switch? Is it shitty to use in conjunction with Windows as an OS and some Google services? Is the Apple ecosystem obscenely restricting?

I'm also going to be missing expandable storage, and the ability to access a functional file system, but outside of that there's not much I specifically foresee missing.

Any advice on switching, or on any smaller but powerful android phones worth copping?
>>

Do y'all think the ZTE Axon 7 Mini will update to Nougat someday?

You guys should honestly give the OnePlus 3 a chance, its by far the best phone I've ever owned, anybody I know who also owns it would be inclined to agree.

Hey guys i just dropped my Honor 5x and shattered the screen and now looking for a replacement. Both the xiaomi redmi note 3 and 4 look like great options but i'm not sure if they support At&t LTE in New York. Any other ideas. I'm looking to stay around the 200 dollar price range.
>>
>>57444246
0.01 Yuan were deposited in your chinkshill account.

Is the OnePlus 3 actually that good as they say or are all the reviews just chilling
>>
>>57444246
Not shilling here but I agree. The 1080 screen is OK, its amoled and has sRGB support to minimize the over saturated shit.

Camera is decent, fingerprint scanner is fast. Phone is built like a tank.

Look up google pixel vs oneplus3 and the cameras look alike. Literally the videos will change your thoughts on this phone. No reason to pay $250+ extra for the same shit. Pixel meme
>>
>>57444321
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycIpOZY03OM

Tend to agree with everything this dude says. Fastest phone out there if you're not worried about the extra second or two you'll have to wait over the iPhone 7 thanks to its SSD like read/write speed

It's the best Android experience in terms of fluidity, I'll happily bet on that
>>
>>57444321
Yes it is. Look up one plus three bending and torture test. One plus 3 vs google pixel.

The old reviews that hated the screen have mostly been updated to give a review of the added sRGB support and they love it now. Great phone for $400 and you can find it used for $350 and below on swappa. Dash charging isn't like qualcoms as the charger handles the voltage current regulation and not the phone. Battery life really isn't as bad as everyone makes it to be.
>>
>>57444321
It's literally competing with $1200 phones and beating them.
It's not a perfect phone, it loses in camera competitions to the likes of iphones for example, still fucking amazing. Could have better screen, more battery life, Oneplus X body design, but alas perfect phones don't exist (yet).
>>
>>57443098
Some places are selling the Mi5 32GB for around PHP 10,500. Unfortunately that's for the white version, the black version is around PHP 11,000.


The body is really compact and the way the body is curved makes it feel really small in your hands.

I've had mine since May 2016 and I absolutely love it! I get good speeds from Globe.

As for as i know it's unclear at this point. It happens randomly after around 9-12 months. Some people blame it on Nougat, but it's exclusively hardware related. Most people with this issue didn't even have a root or unlocked bootloader.

I tweaked a bit the cpu settings on mine so it might be the direct cause. I was luckily able to get my data back and flash stock, and relock the bootloader. Heads up, putting it in a freezer for a bit DOES actually help to get to the recovery for a bit and it should be enough to get your data back.

It will not work. You don't have to worry about bands with Verizon. The only phones that work on Verizon are the ones they sell and a select few other phones like the Moto X Pure Edition and some Nexus devices. That is it.

Pathetic. the Redmi 3 Pro sells for $115 with SD616 which is identical.

You can get a SD821 for $300. Zuk Z2, Le Pro 3, Mi5s etc.
>>
So other than Samsung, what other phone can support Qi charging without blocking off the USB port? I know Moto Mods has a Qi charger but that chin is ugly as sin and also no headphone jack. Will I have to wait for S7 price drops or S8/Note8?

What is the cheapest smartphone that has Android Nougat?
>>
>>57445848
muh expandable storage + screen + muh removable battery
Main thing I want the v20 for is audio. I have an m8 right now but htc isn't doing front-facing speakers right now.

I'll be doing the 2 year contract anyway and Best Buy is usually running some promo with gift cards to offset the price.

My current 2 year expires in late December and I was considering waiting but I'm too impatient.
>>
>>57446095
>Pathetic. the Redmi 3 Pro sells for $115 with SD616 which is identical.
Or you can get a Redmi 4 Prime for 130 which comes with a 625 and it's just 10k Antutu points shy from the 650

1) Need a phone within the week. my friend said oneplus3. is it good? my current phone just bricked

2) how do I copy the entire contents of my current phone to my computer?

thanks

>>57446294
1. OP3 is discontinued for OP3T that is coming Nov 15.
2. Android - copy files with USB/Airdroid.
iOS -iTunes.
>>
>>57445220
I agree, I think that's the only thing that would make this phone better is onscreen buttons and the rear power button. They don't put onscreen buttons on amoled though because of screen burn in.

>>57445946
the screen does 1080p, get over it. Color accuracy isn't as bad as launch now with SRGB support. 6GB of ram CAN keep 15 apps open at once.

Look at some newer reviews with the newer updated roms and quit going off the shit you read 6 months ago idiot.

>>57446294
Wait for the OP3T, or look for a OP3 that is used and save $40-60 for a nice case.

If your current phone just bricked you're kinda out of luck unless you have that shit on the SDcard
>>
I think if you guys in the /spg/ considered used phones you would be getting better phones.

People tend to sell cheaper on swappa than ebay because ebay takes a flat 10% where as swappa has a $15 fee. $300 phone on ebay will get hit by $30 and you tend to pay for that, where as swappa the seller has to pay $15... Seller is also REQUIRED to pay for shipping on swappa.

People on swappa are generally pretty awesome too. You can get new unopened phones for less. The axon 7 is on there for $370 if you want that chinkshit phone. Not really any xiaomi phones on there though since they don't support american basebands well. Still don't understand why people here would take 3G over 4G and buy one of those chinkphones...

Alright /g/uys I'm thinking about getting the redmeme 3 pro. I currently have a OP2 and it's a nightmare, shit battery life, heats up like crazy. I would like 5-5.5in, a decently sized battery (3500+?)and an efficient processor for good SOT. 4g LTE would be nice but I guess if I have to I can use 3G. Also, what bands does HSPA use, same as 3G or same as 4G, i.e. if I have 3G do I also have HSPA or vice versa.

at least on Swappa you get to see the actual unit you get, as opposed to a """""manufacturer""""" refurbished phone that is in """"similar"""" condition to the stock pic used

but you should still probably peruse both for the best deal in any case

That depends, what do you want to do with your phone? I made the switch, been through an S4 which broke then a ZenFone 2, switched to SE after ZF2 also broke.
Rooted both Android phones and fucked around the first month - after that, well, it was a phone so I used it as a phone

>pictures
>browsing
>hoping battery will last me more than a day

Got the SE, you can fuck around with it sure - but there's no need to unlike my previous phones. It just werks.

Upgrading from a Sony Xperia Z1. I'd get the LG V20 in a heartbeat but there's only one carrier in Canada (outside of Quebec) that has it and they're out of the question.

>>57449650
It loses value, retail price drops dramatically, so does used value.

Putting it into a practical example: if you buy a S7 and a G5 at the same time (for the same retail price), by the end of the year if you were to resell the device the S7 would net you more money back than the G5. I'm talking about reselling it for $500 in comparison to $300 type of difference at the end of the year.

Hey guys, I knew there'd be a general here I could make a blog post on.

So my Nexus 5 was kill yesterday and after googling the symptoms, it seems the power button is ded. Just wondering if anyone can confirm: Basically bootloop. Turns on for 1 second then reboots, no matter if I'm regularly booting up, recovery mode, or bootloader. Always reboots in a second. Now the button won't do anything and the phone can only boot by plugging it in, and those symptoms are still there.

Anyway, in the meantime I had to go back to my Nexus 4 and I forgot how much I liked this phone. What happened to the glass backs and curved edge front designs? Why isn't this more popular? Feels comfy as fuck in my hand desu. Although I guess retards could drop and break the back... Why do I have to suffer because retards are clumsy tho?

I've been lurking /spg/ the past couple days looking for device recommendations.

Why is it that some anons claim the SD650 is close to the performance of a SD820 when benchmarks have the SD820 significantly outpacing the SD650?

I get that benchmarks aren't realistic estimators of real world performance but it's not like they don't mean anything at all.

pic related is just GPU performance but you can find similar results for CPU and otherwise

SD650 is assumed to be lower performing than the SD652

But it's exactly that, they don't mean anything at all. From OEMs rigging shit to it having zero reflection on real use, there's no reason to talk about them or post them.

It is close to the 810 CPU wise, GPU wise it isn't that close

QUESTION:

Carrier: Verizon
Phone: Galaxy S5

So it seems like my gyroscope stopped working. I cant tilt my phone sideways and have windows change orientation, nor do any games with Gyro controls work.

I have tried the following things:
>Turning On/Off/On 3D Rotation and Screen Rotation
>Removing the Battery (Both while on and off)
>Factory Reset
>Dialing *#0*# (Which does not bring up the system menu like it used to)
>Giving it a good whack in the back

Anyone have any more ideas? I am kinda pissed because I wanted to keep the phone for a year or two yet but this sucks
>>
>>57451657
How old is your S5? I got my T-Mobile S5 during the week it launched, and I haven't had any problems with it other than the crippling speed I'm experiencing from updating to lollipop.

Thanks for the help /g/.

I can't even download that Clover app on the Play Store. I might as well root my phone and install a proper Adblocker instead of sideloading F-Droid just to get that clover app.

No idea, I feel the same way and I haven't really thought about a new phone yet.

Hey everyone. Been a premium android phone user for a long time, about 5 years.

Lately though Ive been considering switching to the iPhone 7. Im a music producer and there are just no good music creation or DAW software on android. It comes down to a fundamental problem with the OS, and the way it handles audio. Android is far, far behind iOS in terms of audio latency and lag. Which means it is not a viable platform to produce or work with audio.

Is there any major reason why I should or shouldnt switch to iOS from Android? Thanks.

Because I travel quite a bit, and instead of pulling out my laptop everytime an idea hits, I can easily just sketch out the basics of a track or melody, or chord progression, and then flesh it out in full later in the studio.

I understand that, but their audio latency problems are apparently deeply embedded in the android OS itself. Touch latency is an easier problem to fix.

I still have my Nexus 4 and it's my favorite. Nexus line died with the release of the 5. I bought an OPO when it first launched instead. Dev community for that phone is still better too and it's fast AF still to this day. Nexus 6 Shamu with 805 had baller hardware but was garbage all around besides that. Google seems to be doubling down on stupid with the Pixel.

So, like the klutz I am, my 2014 moto x fell out of my hoodie pocket and cracked on concrete with some fairly sizable rocks while on campus. Since a replacement screen cost almost as much as a new 2014 moto x, should I just get another, or, since it's kinda dated, is there a phone comparable in size and in-hand feel/software feel to the moto x?

purchasing specs:
>Country

≤5.3"
will only go 5.5" or above if w/ stylus (like a note)

I don't mind buying a phone that's older if the software on it's good or if it's easy enough to put a custom rom on. I'm currently using a note 2 with cyanogenmod as a replacement, but still just isn't as nice as my moto x. 2014 Moto x was just comfy.

The Redmi 4 is 5"
The Redmi Note 3 Pro is 5.5"
The camera might be better on the R4 but that's a longshot and we won't get reviews until at least late December, if you're fine with 5.5" then the RN3P is better all around, also, the RN3P has better support for western bands

haha but really this might be your only option.

Jesus fuck been waiting for 5 week now for my RN3P

Hey guys, I found an unlocked S7 edge 32GB for £461 on sale, it's new and all that, not refurbished or anything. Should I go for it? Currently have a S5 Neo 16Gb that's giving me lots of storage problems (even with 32gb sd card).

Is there any way to upgrade an LG Tribute 5 to Marshmallow or Nougat, or am I living the cuck life until I can buy another phone?

It asks whenever a new image of any kind is detected "New folder found, backup to cloud?". If you press "no" it won't show up on cloud.

At least that's how it was recently on a non-pixel.
>>
>>57455358
I'm having this phone for 3 months and really the only issue I'm having is no Nougat yet. The fingerprint scanner would be nice too, but I can live with it.

Besides that, the phone is perfect. I've had LG G4 before and I was really disappointed with it - ugly, laggy and buggy software, faulty battery, faulty touchscreen, overheating, shitty speaker placement, plastic build.

The X Style, however, while having exactly the same hardware (SD 808, 3 GB RAM, 2K screen), has none of these issues. It's fast and responsive, doesn't get hot, nothing is faulty and buggy at all, and the build quality/materials are very good.

Stereo speakers at the front are my absolutely favourite thing and I can't imagine having a phone without those. Go for it.
>>
>>57456729
the fuck is Tribute 5

are you seriously expecting Nougat when you're still having Lollipop? Just buy something that's not shit.
>>
>>57457050
It's a cheap Android phone that I bought over the summer after my old one broke. I plan to buy a "not shit" sooner than later, but I figured that I might be able to use something a little more recent than lollipop in the mean time.

One m8

Good firmware
Decent battery. Would be great if you can replace it with a new one. They cost about 10-20 $.
Dual front facing stereo speakers that are still among the best ever put on a phone.
Good display with accurate colour reproduction.
SD card support for up to 128 Gb.
IR blaster.
Great build quality. Can take drops like a boss.

The only bad thing is the camera and the HTC logo on the front.

Im still using mine after 3 years. When it dies I will get the htc 10 in a heartbeat.

So I have a blackberry priv from AT&T and it makes this totally obnoxious noise every time the phone restarts and I have no idea how to turn it off. There doesn't seem to be an easy fix.
Apparently only privs that are from AT&T have this issue.

Does anyone know how I can disable it?
>>
>>57454561
Unplug the screen
>>
>>57459206
It's a fucking phone senpai
>>
>>57459350
So we can agree to disagree I guess. I don't mind the on screen buttons.
>>
>>57450436
Bump, this is important
>>
>>57459226
No way to disable that because AT&T are cunts.
If you want to test something yourself, take out your sim, restart device. Is the noise still there? If the noise is gone, keep that in mind anytime you want to restart it and need to be quiet, take out the sim.

I mean I think you could solve it also by rooting and flashing a different boot so that it ignores the AT&T one but I'm pretty sure development on the priv is dead due to the 'security'.
>>
>>57459553
Not him, but isn't the sound disablable by editing the extension of the sound file?
My ROM on my Lelnovo has that.
>>
How do I find out exactly what's going on behind Android System and Android in the battery viewer?

Even betterbatterystats lumps System under processes instead of breaking down what runs under Android and Android system and how long it's been running for etc.

GSAM battery monitor at least gives me a list of what runs under Android and Android system but it doesn't show which of those processes are actually running and for how long they've been running for.

The chinkphones in op link are good starting places.
Honestly though with like $100 more you can get the OP3(T) which is really fucking solid.
The G4 is also solid. Haven't read much about the Honor 5x though, sorry m8
>>
>>57459603
He can try that method, yes. I don't have the priv or at&t so I can't offer a direct guide on that though unfortunately.
>>
>>57459632
Been hearing good things about the RN3P, checked the bands, it's compatible here. Does it have issues with overheating or does it stay below 40 Celsius? My phone is like a Note 7 at normal usage when charging.
>OP3T
Been thinking about it but haven't heard opinions yet. It seems really nice though.
>>
>>57459641
I can't really help that much either. Looked in my root directory but haven't found anything useful.
>>
>>57459683
I'm sure someone here with an RN3P can answer your question about heat. It's pretty popular here.

The 3T is to be announced next week, rumored to be very similar to the 3, but slightly faster, and supposedly a better camera. The 3 is already out and 10990 czk with lots of reviews and comparisons. But I checked the OPlus site and it said it was sold out, I don't know maybe you can find it in your local shops.
>>
>>57459553
I just tried removing the sim and restarting, and the fucking startup noise still plays.

>>57459603
How would I locate the sound file?

Thanks for your help btw

Watch that video by the way, can you access the files he's talking about? If not I'll try and look for another method that doesn't involve root because I hear that's a bitch on the priv.
>>
>>57459739
I think it's system/media and add a .bak on the mp3 boot sound.
If it doesn't work, just delete the .bak.
Don't know if it will work, works for mine.
>>
>>57459759
Great for me then.
Does it have the 60fps video playback meme, too?
>>
>>57459763
I watched this video partially earlier and couldn't locate that file. I am trying again right now with the "Show Hidden Files" feature in that app activated to see if I can locate it. I have tried using the search feature in the app to locate the "oem" folder with no success.

While watching it this time, I noticed that the guy in the video mentions that his device is rooted and he enabled the Root Explorer feature. When I attempted to enable it, it gave me the message: "Sorry, test failed. This feature cannot run on your device."
Is there any way for me to enable this feature?

Help needed, in the process of downgrading my encrypted LG G4 running 6.0 I stumbled upon a problem.
The encryption unlock screen doesn't really respond, I input my pattern but it just idles, I can input any single pattern and it won't do anything.
The "failed" pattern attempts are not even considered a failed attempt, it just stays at 30/30.
>>
>>57459774
I've tried searching for an mp3 boot sound and a .bak and I can't find either file.

Has anyone tried using Kingo Root? I am going to try using that program next to see if I can root the phone.

I don't think so. I just bought an s7. I won't go back to LG after the G3, G4, and G5 bootloop issues. It's not worth the risk imo.

This has been my problem. All of the phones out right now are pretty great and there's been no "best" phone.

I'm stuck on Verizon otherwise I'd go OnePlus3. I've been looking at the Axon but I'm not sold. Mainly I'm looking at the Pixel just cause I want to be happy for at least a few years but I'm kicking myself for not preorder for the free Daydream headset.
>>

Thanks, I guess. Next time I'll take a little more time and money to look for phone with existent dev support.
