Hey dudes. Just got the OP3. Can't directly connect phone to PC and use it as MTP storage device. What's the deal? Should I need drivers? Is the stock USB-c cable charge only?

Cheers lads.

>>57533392
Request refund and get the OP3T.

Looks like the only good Android offering is the Moto Z Play, and for the same price (+/-£10) I could get an iPhone SE.

Z Play benefits: Larger screen, usable with VR gimmickry if I feel like doing that
Z Play downsides: Android

The SE is better in every way except for the teeny tiny itsy bitsy baby screen for ants. Can't stretch to the 6S/7. What do I do?

Going from a korean phone to a chink phone worth it? How fucked am I?

I'm reading that the OP3T goes on sale November 22, but how long will it take to ship?

>>57533025

>>57534345
Sd cards are much slower than internal storage and it's a way to prevent normies from bitching about slow phones when it's really just a slow sd card holding everything up.

I had a Galaxy S4 since it came out and now I am ready to upgrade, is the pixel a good phone?

Lads is the OP3 camera much of an improvement over the 1+1?

The only thing I really feel is lacking on my 1+1 is the camera and with the OP3T announced i thought it might be time to update.

>>57536818
>4" max

iPhone SE is literally your only choice (or a 5S, older but still okay) if you want a decent phone.

I suggest not being a manlet and at least dealing with a 4.7"–5" size phone. They're really not that big.

Nothing, because you cant do anything with a windows phone. wew lad

>>57537067
The battery is 3,400mAh (original OP3 is 3,000mAh), yet the battery isn't physically larger than the OP3 battery. They achieve the higher capacity essentially by pushing the battery further (more peak voltage – OP3 maxes out at 4.35V while OP3T does 4.4V).

I'm not saying it'll explode like a Note 7, but it may wear out quicker than usual.

>>57537059
>their app store is a joke with many scam apps that don't work as advertised
Whereas the Play Store is a shining beacon of glory containing only legitimate high quality apps that work perfectly.

...oh wait...

>>57536357
The battery life is the reason I called it the only good Android phone. But there's still the issue of Android itself. iOS is so much better.

Dumbphonefag here, Is is a good step-up from my old tracfone? Can it run apps any good?

So is the Mi5 the best in its price range?

>>57537801
mi5s is also quite good, or the zuk z2 if you don't mind the all glass body like with the mi 5.

>>57537597
Use F-Droid you retard.

>>57537801
Just get the mi5s, better in every way.
You'll need at least the 64gb anyway since non-expandable memory and the 64gb mi5 costs the same as the standard mi5s.

Should I pull the trigger on a OnePlus 3 now? eGlobal has dropped it from $600 to $563 AUD.

Only thing I'm worried about is it being too big for comfortable sitting/working with it in my pocket, coming from a Redmi 3 Pro.

>>57535319
wow. just wow. its like something out of my chinese cartoons.

i was looking on ebay, and there is a Samsung S6 Edge G925A for real cheap, everything works, just hte front glass is shattered to hell, the lcd underneath works fine still though.

there are replacement glass front kits for like $12 is this a feasible job or one of those seemed like a good idea at the time, but now you are digging graves for hookers in the desert sort of thing?

>>57538353
Go to ifixit.

Generally the lcd/digitizer assembly is fused together and replacing one part and leaving the other is like trying to pull Satan's teeth. Not always though, in which case it'll be simply blowdrying off the old glass and gluing the new one in. If the parts are fused you can normally get a screen/digitizer assembly that'll be ~$50.

>>57538422
thanks.

I might as well buy new for the money it would take to fix it.

>>57538458
May as well buy a new phone now and you'll get to practice your mad repairing skills down the track when you inevitably drop it.

I'm wondering if I should try to get to the op3t too, I just got a op3...

My phone was draining fast after doing a fresh install of RRemix but after I installed elementX kernel it's been good.

This phone is solid, the cases are great too. The downside is screen protectors are not easy for this phone. I really wanted tempered glass but looking at all of them there not as simple as my LG G3 display(completely flat).
I really don't mind the screen, they just need to add the black rice to their stock OS. That's why I'm on RRemix. It helps battery life too. Camera is OK, but that 16MP front cam sounds amazing.

Will 400mAh more gonna really help?

That's some BS excuse. Audio and video files play fine off even the shittiest SD cards you can buy and there is no point in wasting internal storage on that. It is a bit of a stupid excuse anyway since devices will end up with slower internal storage compared to newer SD cards eventually.

The real Bullshit tell is the availability of the same device in numerous storage size variants. If there is a 16GB, 64GB and a 128GB variant then that's why there is no SD card slot.

>>57540722

guaranteed OS updates until September 2017, security updates for a year after that.

>>57535110
>slow sd card holding everything up

Unless you're installing apps on an SD card, which nobody does, it doesn't work that way. Even if you did install shit on the SD card it would only affect those apps. The OS is always on the fast eMMC. You put an SD card in your phone to store media, primarily music, not apps.

>>57540785
And it doesn't have to be limited to chink phones, just give me something good.

Seriously from what I've actually seen in the real world, women (especially young women) tend to prefer massive phones to wrap their little hands around, whereas men usually use mid-sized phones. I honestly see negative correlation with handsize and phone-preference, not positive.

>>57540722
That's a good choice for parents. It just werks.

>>57541029
I'm curious about this too. No headphone jack or microsd slot though. It might be better to wait for the One plus 4.

Being a waitfag is great.

>>57541277
this is what the N5 has afforded me

a flawless android experience (even in 2016) with a subpar camera and battery life

I can always hold out.

So my OP3 came today and came with what looks like a screen protector over it but like, glues on and slightly off center. Is this a protector or is this part of the screen because the off center ness of it is annoying me.

>>57540722
I bought my father a nexus 5x to replace his nexus 4 and he is very happy with it. It is snappy enough for regular usage and it has the same sensor as the 6p so it is very hard to beat the camera at that price point. I also like how light it feels. I'd say go for it anon

>>57541385
It is a pre applied screen protector I took mine off immediately so feel free to do so if it bothers you

>>57533513
If you're already a macfag, stick to apple. You're only going to bitch and moan about anything that isn't iOS.

>>57541688
Will do. My Nexus 5 lasted from release day until now without one, including a massive car crash. I take care of my phone's.

can you use any headphones for the redmi 3 pro?

>>57541731
Same here I have used my nexus 4 for four years without any type of protection so my OP3 should be fine also. Only problem is that this phone feels darnn slippery

>>57541779
Yea I never normally bother with cases but simply to stop it sliding out of my hands... I might get one.

1. redmi 3/4 pro have the same camera?
2. redmi 3 is going to drop in price with the arrival of the redmi 4?

>>57541807
Just out of curiosity how do you feel about the OP3T? I also received my OP3 only 4 days ago so in theory I can return it for the T but I don't think it's worth the hassle desu

>>57541924
Yea I saw about the OP3T today... at first I was thinking of sending it straight back, but, a reported 10% performance increase... Slightly bigger battery and different glass on the camera.

Also it would cost at least £70 more. All in all I'm not that bothered so I'm gonna just keep the OP3

Hey /spg/

How nice is the keyboard on the Blackberry Classic? Is it worth switching my current Android phone for it?

I have no quarrels with my phone except the occasional slowness and not being able to reliably type without looking at the screen.

>>57542015
if you want to wait and stick to android, there are reports that blackberry will launch a new android phone with keyboard soon.

FIGHtht you fuchs
https://websocket-server-bb.herokuapp.com/

>>57542029
It'll be priced too high for what I'm willing to spend, I could get this Classic for ~150€

How is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro?

>>57541965
Yeah only thing that attracted me was the extra 400mah battery but I can already get 6.5 to 7 hours of SOT and the dash charger is ridiculously fast so after coming from a nexus 4 I am already satisfied. I have waited 1 month for this phone and sending it back and possibly waiting again that long for that incremental increase seems not worth it (not even considering getting a faulty device in the first batch and dealing with OP support). Overall I am quite happy so far

>>57536090

>>57542057
Yea same here.

I know getting this today I thought about this month wait... Meh.

I usually carry around a 21000mah power bank anyway so battery isn't an issue for me.

Buy OP3T now or wait for SD830 phones that come out next year?

>>57542049
Still recommended.

>>57542015
The classic is the last keyboard BB has produced that is solid. Keep in mind, you will lose access to all your android apps - yes there's still the capability to run android apps on blackberry but it's stuck on android 4.2 and a lot of apps are cutting off access to that level of android/blackberry in general.

>>57542157
I only have a need for google maps really, from what I've read I can have it still?

I'm really on the fence over buying this, especially since I have a working phone. I just miss the actual keyboard from dumbphones

>>57542157
Glad to hear, I picked one up for a pretty good price and decided to jump on it.

Will be replacing my Nexus 5

>>57542175
You need to go through a process http://forums.crackberry.com/android-apps-amazon-store-apk-files-f413/google-play-store-blackberry-10-read-first-post-instructions-985344/

If you already have a working phone it might not be worth it in general though. I mean I can understand someone maybe getting a classic to handle a shit load of emails and important calls, but otherwise there's really no point.
It would be great if they went back to creating their own devices with keyboards and crazy designs but oh well.

>>57542206

A lot of chinese resellers use ebay/amazon themselves. All you have to really be aware of is understanding return policies regardless of store and never overpaying, after all we buy chink shit to save money while still getting a great device.

>>57542495
I recently was looking for a new phone. Decided to go the Chinese route. At first I checked out GearBest and a few other sites. Later, I decided to check out eBay to see if i could find a seller who shipped from the US, to possibly get it faster. I saw a few who said they shipped from the US yet the chart they showed on the listing for delivery had times that looked like they were shipped from China..and on their profile it said they were based in China, despite saying it shipped from the US.

Do some sellers just say they ship from the US to trick people into buying or avoid something on eBay?

>>57542460
novalauncher

>>57542574
Yes exactly. People think they're based in the US so it arrives faster but it's the same exact shipping times as from China.
To ship from the US = needing US retail space = more money investment needed = phones wind up costing more to gain back the investment costs.

So essentially, it all comes from China.

So I have a Moto X 2014 that I like to replace because battery life is shit

What do you recommend? I was expecting a camera upgrade on the OP3T and currently considering HTC 10 or S7 but I think they're "too old". Anyone knows if there will be new flagships this season?

Thinking about getting the oneplus 3(T) but I have a few questions
1.How common are the screen defects/faulty units in general an how soon will it show?
2.Is the battery life gonna be bad on the 3T since its the same one amped up (wares out faster)
3. is the camera shit?

No xposed. Only thing keeping me back.

Can anyone comment on how big of a difference the sound quality between the V20 and S7 is? The main thing I use my phone for is listening to music, and if it really is that significant I think I would be fine risking the chance of bootloops for it.

I have a feeling this is just a marketing gimmick and doesn't actually change anything though.

>>57546118
It won't be here until Monday even with prime shipping. The battery in my iPhone 6 sucks, even though it tests fine. I'm still going to hold onto it in case I hate the Axon 7/android. I haven't had an android since Froyo so I'm hoping it's better by now, plus my previous android was a shit tier Motorola triumph

LeEco phones are the ones that dropped the headphone jack as soon as the rumor of jackless iPhone came out

>>57543323
They just upgraded the battery to work the same way as most flagships do. S7, HTC 10, Moto Z...

is there anything that rivals the 5X/6P camera in the $200-300 range (new or used on swappa)?

the camera is by far my favorite thing about the 5X, but I got the 16GB version, which is much too small, so 32GB+ or SD storage is a plus.

In US on T-Mobile

>>57541879
>1. redmi 3/4 pro have the same camera?
No, 4 Pro (and possibly 4 non-pro, but definitively not 4A) apparently have a better camera than the RN3P
>2. redmi 3 is going to drop in price with the arrival of the redmi 4?
It should, but Xioameme loves to inflate prices the first month after launching

Need a phone for my mother (New Zealand). The only things she needs is to be able to use google hangouts, txting, and to have a camera (quality does not matter at all). Should I just buy her the cheapest 2nd hand one I can find running KitKat+?

I'm having battery problems.

I have a Galaxy S5 mini, I installed CM 13 on it, installed Greenify, Xposed, but it still drains about 1-1.5% when idle and all processes are disabled.

What might be causing the drain?

What /spg/ could recommend for my mother. Price up to 500€ in Eu. Top priorities are: camera and build quality.

>>57545530

Replace ur battery senpai

>>57552106

I bought the phone in pretty much mint condition. It was used for 6 months and there wasn't even a scratch on it, it's barely been used. I don't think the problem is the battery.

Is CM known for battery problems? Is there an alternative lightweight OS I can install?

I have a Redmi Note 3 coming in a few days.

When it arrives, will I need to flash anything on it or will it be usable as is?

is nexus 5x still worth it with all the bootlooping

Moto G4 plus vs LG G4? Consider:
Performance
Battery life
Cameras (both rear and front)
Build
Audio
UI

Thanks in advance

>>57543323
1. Screen defects are as common as any other AMOLED phone. Which is pretty uncommon. If it has a defect you'll notice straight away. You might start noticing some slight burn in after 2 years.

2. A lot of phones have a 4.4V battery so it's definitely within safe limits.

3. After my OPO the camera feels godlike.

>>57552159
Most likely usable as is, might have to software update it. You can flash whatever your hearts desire if you dislike MIUI.

>>57552277
No not really, the 6P should be like 399 permanently now, or at the very least during BF/CM

>>57552297
Performance: LG
Bat Life: Moto

Build: tie, slight LG edge
