Jesus fuck I am so torn about this. I prefer the openness of Android and being able to customize it to my liking, and how the stock AOSP look is miles better than the shit that iOS is, but all I've read was how good the battery life is on the SE and that it performs really well, and I can't stand how my G3 gets hot so easily when hardly doing anything, and when I'm using it, I can just watch the battery drain like hell. What do I do?

You people seem like you would know a good alternative to this abandonware. It's Crumby, the greatest Booru client ever made. Unfortunately the dev isn't maintaining it anymore so it's been losing support for more and more sites as time goes on.

Are China phones ever same price as announced or very close if I buy from international resellers (topone, goldway, flosmal honorbuy)?

In my case, I am interested om Xiaomi mi note 2. I understand that couple weeks after release it is very bad time to buy it as there is huge mark up and stock shortage and I am willing to wait month(s) it takes for market to normalize.

My problem is that this huge mark up really scares me and puts me out of budget. Announced price is 415$ which is expensive but fine for such beautiful beast of a phone, but current sale price is 500$-560$. What price I can realistically expect 1, 2, 3 months later? Is 420$-440$ a possibility?
>>
>>57803862
I'll probably keep playing the waitgame since it's rumored that Nokia will return 2017 with new phones in close partnership with google. Maybe we get something nexus like from nokia.
>>
>>57805010
It's... Different. Base android versions don't get updated often, only the 2016 phones will get 7. Older ones do get MIUI updates though with new features on top of the standard security updates.
>>
>>57805748
You will be disappointed by Nokia. They will be made by same Chinese factories that make phones now, so don't expect anything new of innovative other than design that reminds of Lumia series and fancy Nokia logo
>>
>>57805717
Those are China only prices. Filthy cumskins have to pay more.
>>
>>57805812
What matters more is support and pricing. They may take over Sony's place now that they are dead and buried.
>>
>>57805717
>500$-560$
>xiaomi note 3

what is that canadian dollars?
>>
>>57805812
I don't give a damn as long as it's close to stock android for a reasonable price.
>>
>>57805820
But how much more? Current mark up is something like 150$ which is bulshit but I hope they are just abusing hype victims? How low is it likely to fall?

>>57805839
Mi note 2 not redmi note 3. Mi is premium series redmi is budget

guys I have an old smartphone samsung galaxy s1. Some months ago the battery was starting to drain ultra fast. One day and it was dead. It wasent like this ever before. SO i thought I need new battery. I found one and here I am now with new battery and same problem. It goes from 90 % to 56% in 2 hours.

what the actual fuck.
>>
>>57806339
Check battery stats, see what's actually using it.
Then give up and replace that old heap of shit.
>>
>>57806354
under the battery tab 79 % goes to phone and rest is like google services,system,screen. total of 6 things.

I realy dont need a new phone. Im fine with it. It dose all i need it to do. Its just this bizzare battery issue.

Hey guys. My aunt is in a hard place right now. Her husband and her got into a fight, her phone got broken and she just called me from my mom's phone asking what's a "good reasonable priced Android phone". I asked her the budget and she said between $75-100.

She can't wait for a chink phone to arrive in the mail. Can anyone tell me maybe the top 3 phones right now for $100-150? I'll send her the little extra money if needed.

Right now all I can think of is the 4th gen moto x on Amazon right now for $150 (she's not a prime.member so she can't get the $100 version)

Good specs. Only worry would be the camera and OS updates. Also GSMArena hasn't tested the battery so I don't know how it is. I'd do some research into Lenovo and how they have handled their OS updates. I know they crippled Motorola after buying them leading to them having a terrible track record for updates after the Lenovo purchase. Would suck to spend A$500 on a phone to be stick with Marshmallow forever.

My android phone doesn't detect when I put headphones in it, it always outputs audio via the loudspeakers at the front, what can I do to fix it?
I'm pretty sure it's only the part that detects when the headphones are plugged in that's broken Maybe there's some app that will help me manually command my phone to output the audio via the headphone jack?
Or can I do anything about the jack itself, since it's probably a hardware issue?
Also my phone is a Sony Xperia Z5 Premium if that'll help

Yeah. I think the bootloader being locked is also something that comes along with being a Verizon phone. What confuses me is that there is an official CM13 ROM for this model, so there must be a way to unlock the bootloader or install it through some other work around, I just can't find it.

6P may not bootloop like the 5 or 5X, but it got stuck with the overheating SD810 not helped by the overkill octacore it has, lack of SD slot, being almost 6 inches and AMOLED screen for that burn-in after 2 years and saturated colors completely kill the phone, I don't even mind the GB of ram less.

Hard reset it (hold power and + button, go to recovery, wipe cache and data), if that doesn't work then it's definitely the phone, hope you still have warranty.

Was it always like this?

Where do you live?

If you don't care about mobile data, yes.
If you do, you might as well go with one of the "cheap" subsidiaries of the major companies, because they at least have unlimited data, if throttled after a while at around the same price point.

They sure can. I'd tell you to try it yourself, but nowadays chances are your phone doesn't have a removable battery. Sad world we live in.

Upgraded from a 3 year old phone to one that has USB-C & fast charging, jesus christ why do all phones not have this?

Also, what kind of negative effects does fast charging have on the longevity of the battery? Can I expect 2 hours SoT in a year?

Not really, I've had a phone with quick charge over a year now and haven't noticed any real loss of battery life, and that's with me making into a mini stove loads of times watching 1080p video while it charges.

What went wrong?
>>
>>57822478
At least wait for it. CES is right around the corner and BB has this last in house device to push out before moving fully to other manufacturers. You wait, you can choose between the mercury (which should be better on the basis that it doesn't have an 808 inside) or get a priv at an even cheaper price.

Let's just hope it doesn't have a stupid name. Well it's blackberry it'll probably be called the DTEK100.
>>
>>57822528
But I don't want to potentially wait 4-5-12 months.
>>
>>57822597
You should anyways because the 808 is thorough garbage. Or get another phone entirely.

Go to OLX.pl, you can find some really good deals on usually pretty expensive phones there(I found xperia XZ for 1800PLN there when the retail price is 3000) with proper sony warranty and whatnot
>>
>>57822624
Under what aspects? I know it may overheat but right now I could fine a priv for 339€, what are the chances of the new blackberry costing more than 500€-600€?
>>
>>57822792
It overheats and throttles in addition to having inferior memory in comparison to the 810 because QC was cheap.
Basically, avoid 810 and 808 at all costs.
Also you should be only spending like 299€ for the priv at most.

>what are the chances of the new blackberry costing more than 500€-600€?
Who knows at this point. The last two devices (not blackberry produced - The Dteks) were priced OK. The priv was so overpriced even BB CEO stated so. "BlackBerry CEO John Chen has come out and said that the keyboard-toting smartphone was simply "too expensive""
So no one knows. It could be priv tier expensive, or it could be cheap.
>>
>>57822792
Unless you're a gaymen faggot the 810 overheating is greatly exaggerated.

Currently have iPhone 6 Plus on Verizon. I am tired of iOS. Very very very tired of it. I am going full Android now, but the last time I had an Android device was a Moto Droid X (pic related). Lots have changed since then. Budget is not a problem, any price is ok. It has to have USB-C and Removable storage is a plus. I'd like for it to be able to run Android 7 without any issue whatsoever.

I'm not looking for "get another iPhone" answer because I have made up my mind to ditch Apple for awhile. Pls no bully sempais.

I only really plan to use for web browsing, E-mails and a few apps specific for android, no games and nothing that should be heavy enough to cause it to overheat.

pixel runs android, but it's similar to apple in a few ways, so if you're not ready to dive into the free world immediately, that may be an option
Newer Motorola and Nexus phones are running Nougat so if you want full android with 7 then look at those.

Even though Qualcomm literally released 2.1 to explicitly address overheating issues you dumb fag? LOL

that looks pretty good. I never had a bb phone but if that one is not too expensive...

When are they going to present it? 2017 at the mwc?

>>57823472
Like I said, it's not going to start throttling until you play games. Idiots like you read sensationlist news off shitty sites like cnet and just regurgitate them endlessly.

sup /spg/
i currently have iphone 6s (work phone), ipad air (work pad) and cheapo tmobile flip phone (had it for years, 25/month unlimited calls/text)
i dont make a lot of calls or text
i do take a lot of pictures/surf web/4chins/youtubes
the ipad/flip phone combo is good for me, but i'd prefer one device for both so i'm leaning toward phone only solution
i would *prefer* an iphone but i'm willing to consider droids
if i were to go ios, i'd pick between 7, se, or maybe an ipad pro (9.7") wifi/cell
what do you recommend? as long as i can make payments price is no problem, but obviously i cant trade in my work stuff
>>
>>57823432
Thanks, sempai. I've been looking at the Pixel / Pixel XL and the V20, but the V20 just seems like a meme phone and has some build quality issues among other flaws. I'll check out some of your suggestions also.
>>
>>57823272
Htc 10 or Pixel. Pixel for updates directly from google. Htc 10 for removable storage. Xperia xz is also an option.
>>
>>57823828
I had to choose between the pixel xl and v20 and I ultimately chose the v20 because it has more features. I'm a long time nexus user as well.

If you pick the pixel make sure to test the screen with a gray wallpaper for weird lines. If you're unlucky it might take you several tries to get a good screen.
>>
>>57823486
Probably. CES at absolute earliest.
>>
>>57823950
Good to know, thanks anon.
>>
>>57823828
The v20 is a meme phone, made by a meme company who literally shits out awful devices. Samsung is the only korean company worth a shit, clearly not anymore though judging by the note.

Wait for some pixel sales, and when the kinks have been ironed out. Then it's a solid device.

So, I'm a poor huefag currently looking for a phone and the only options I have for my budget here are these two:

http://www.gsmarena.com/asus_zenfone_3_max_zc520tl-8207.php
http://www.gsmarena.com/lenovo_vibe_k5_plus-7947.php

Spec-wise, the K5 seems the better choice, but as I have an old Zenfone 5 which I love, I'm leaning towards Zenfone 3 only because Asus.

Someone beat some sense in me, please.

I just got a Huawei p9 eva-L09, and I took my sim card from my old Xperia z5 and put it in my p9. It worked totally fine, I could get texts and use 4g and everything. But then the next morning it showed I had no connection and said emergency calls only. The phone recognized there was a sim card in it cause otherwise it would have the no-sim-symbol up top. I restarted and factory reset but it still showed no connection, but when I put the sim back in the z5 it works fine on it.
About a month ago my z5 would randomly stop recognizing the sim card and I'd have to restart the phone to make it work again. That makes me think it might be the fault of the sim card, but it's weird that it works on the z5 fine and not at all on the p9. The sim also has what look like some scratches on it, but I don't normally look at sim cards so I don't know if that's a normal thing that happens over time or not.
According to willmyphonework the p9 should work fine on my carrier (metropcs), so it shouldn't be that, especially since it worked the first day. Should I get a new sim card? I'm also worried it might be something wrong with the phone, but since it worked the first day I don't really know.. Has anyone had a similar problem before?

>>57808967
I had a z5 non-premium and the same thing happened. I just figured it was from dropping it, but maybe the headphone jack is just shit on the z5 line?

My phone finally died.
I want to get a phone that respects my freedom, so I'm looking into getting a replicant.
My question is, is it easy to install proprietary software, or is it a trisquel kind of deal?

Helo everyone!

I have bricked my new xiaomi redmi 3s.
I tried to install a new ROM via fastboot but it failed and now I cant turn on my device. For so far I couldnot get to EDL either. I can reach fastboot but my bootloader is locked so I cant really do much from there.

Any advice?

Looking to switch back to Android and wondering how the Note 4 is holding up. Are there any alternative phones that have a stylus that would work on any US carriers? I just want something I can draw on when I'm bored.
>>
>>57825083

I just got a few months ago, so far I love it. Best phone I've ever had.

So sad that BBOS10 is basically dead though. We did just get an update this week, but it could be one of the last.

1:1 screen is much better for text based content, not as good for videos/gaymen.

It runs Android apps quite well too, just download F-Droid and you'll be set.
