Thinking of getting my very first chinkphone. My last two phones were a Moto G and a Samsung Galaxy Rugby pro. I'm ready for something much, much better.
At the moment I'm with AT&T but I'm thinking of switching to Verizon. I've read the sticky, done a little research, and I think I know what I want, but I want to hear what you /g/uys recommend before I buy anything.

My frontrunners right now are the Xiaomi Mi5 and the Redmi Note 4. Is Xiaomi really memefone or are they decent? Is there anything else I should consider?
>>
Any HTC10 users here use a custom ROM? How the fuck do I update firmware myself? Please help

Is there or on /vg any place, where discuss mobile games like http://su0.ru/TpOt ?
>>
>>58056057
>Xiaomi Mi5 and the Redmi Note 4
None of them will work in the USA. not on AT&T and definitely not on Verizon.

The RN3P will sorta work on AT&T with B2 and B4 but that's about it.
>>
RN3P or LeEco Le 2? The Leeco is around $130.
>>
Any Oneplus 3/3T users in here?
Whats the best screen protector to get?
Also case if you have one

>>58057069
RN3P no doubt.
SD slot, 3.5mm jack and MiUI>EUI.
>>
>>58057073
How do you like your OP3T(assuming you have one since you're looking for a screen protector)? I have my eyes on it. Everything seems good except for the reported screen latency and poor wifi connectivity.
>>
what's the current state of xiaomi.eu roms ? I'm to finally unlock my bootloader today, but I like MIUI so i'd like to try xiaomi.eu first.

rn3p 2/16gb that is

>>58057466
It's a bit less fucky than official miui but still a ram hog. It's definitely worth a try if you like miui but want a bit less chink botnet in it.

LeEco has shit software. Same as ZUK, avoid until you can get official CM on them.
>>
>>58057156
Not him, but I have a OP3, and it's pretty good. Haven't noticed any screen latency, and WiFi seems to work well everywhere except on my home network, but that's mostly because of our shitty ISP-provided router. Also you can install Kali Nethunter on it which is pretty cool

I've got a 3.5 year old galaxy s4 with cm13 on it that does what I need it to do, except camera is a bit sub par.
Feeling that I want to upgrade before it inevitably dies, however.

If you were me, would you wait until the next batch of 2017 phones before you upgrade, or go with what's already been released?

(Looking at Op3t Honor 8 and HTC 10)

Unless your phone is already starting to shit the bed, wait for the 2017 annoucements. At the very least you'll get some nice discount in last year's flagships
>>
Just bought an OP3T and starting to feel buyer's remorse. For its price I haven't felt the wow factor.

Or maybe after 2 years with MIUI I'm just too used with its workflow. Missing my dl speed notification, quick access to brightness slider, not using drawers, and starting to notice the difference between 441ppi and 401ppi.

The phase will pass I guess.

no. RN3P is better.

>>58059184
>Missing my dl speed notification
There's apps and a xposed module for that, search "network speed indicator"

>quick access to brightness slider
This should be in the quick settings on the notification bar, if not then there's an setting to put it back. also on cm13 you can change brightness by sliding your finger on the status bar

>not using drawers
Just put your apps on the home screen or download a launcher without an app drawer

You can always change the display density

After all my years of buying android phones i can say this with certainty. If it's not a samsung product don't buy it. Samsung is the only manufacturer that actually makes decent budget phones.

LG and Motorolla are SHIT. Avoid them at all costs.

I've had a Samsung s4 mini since it came out early 2013.

Shit's been bitching till this summer

Dropped it at least once a day and the screen cracked just a little bit on a corner after 2 years of abuse. And it's still functional, albeit not the fastest

Since september however the usb and jack ports are loose and shit unplugs at the slightest movement, only complain I have, thats why I wanna change

I just don't want a flagship and the A5, seems subpar

So i'm considering the LG G5...

Best way to control app permissions?
Have a chink root on 5.1 but I don't want it interfacing with the network at all.

AFWall+ (firewall, root) doesn't seem to be the answer or I have configured incorrectly.
Thought I could just nuke the network access permissions.

I'm very new to android and I assume it's capable of playing all sorts of video files like .mkv unlike my old phone.

What's the best software for this sort of use? I haven't rooted it and I probably won't any time soon, I'm too old to get excited about fiddling with shit and just stick to comfy vanilla so preferably something in the google store.

AFWall+ should work for this. You set the firewall mode to 'Allow selected', tick the apps that should have internet access and then tap 'Save' and 'Enable firewall'.

I killed my last phone so I'm looking to pick up one or two over Christmas. I basically want one I can use and another I can trust.

For the former, I'm going for either the Galaxy S7 or the Google Pixel. They seem about matched spec-wise and there's not an awful lot of difference in price, but the wiki seems to rate Google Nexus' above Samsung Galaxies. Does this still hold true for the Pixel?

For the latter, I'm looking at a Galaxy Nexus so I can install Replicant on it, and then possibly a Nokia N900 at some point too so I can get a Neo900 board in it when that comes out.

Thoughts?

Recently? What? Western movies and TV shows started popping up as .mkvs ever since they started being available in 720p and 1080p. When did BR come out, in 2006 or 2007 or some shit? I don't think I've ever downloaded any sort of video 720p or higher in a container other than .mkv, it's been around for about a decade, there's nothing recent about it. Getting shit in .avi was a thing in the SD era, for me at least.

Haven't gotten mine yet, wanted to order a protector before I get it. Ye I heard about the screen latency and Oneplus has addressed it. Should be fixed when they update the Android version before 2017. The bad wifi is a cost cut, don't think there's much to do about it except get a better router.

>>58063111
I think the preinstalled screen protector is plastic. All of them get a plastic screen protector out of the box. Not sure if they put the tampered glass one on before shipping too

Is this deal worth it?
Thinking of switching me and my girl to sprint for it.
I haven't kept up with the galaxy S series since three s4 since they dropped expendable storage and removable batteries but now that this has expendable storage I'm interested.
Can I flash stock on it or am I stuck with touchwiz if I get this? How's the custom ROM scene for it?

This is the Snapdragon variant. That means a locked bootloader, with the closest thing to root being a leaked engineering boot image that's really unstable.

The Exynos variant has an unlockable bootloader but no documentation for Exynos means no AOSP.

Aka it's a fucking iPhone.

Also, TouchWiz still sucks ass. I've had to factory reset my S7 3 times already, don't fall for the "TW is good now!" meme that's been circulating.

It's ok
I had to go with CM13 because MIUI is garbage
There's official CM14 but it's still a bit buggy

Also since I got a newer model I have a different fingerprint sensor module and FFC module, so I have to flash extra patches to get those working on CM

What if you loaded cyanogenmod or something like it on to the phone? Wouldn't that fix those problems? You could do that and save alot of money on a cheap powerful phone that would have all the services you'd need.
>>
>>58075077
Yeah, I had a metal phone once. It was awful.
Also had a naked Nexus 4, was much better than metal, largely because of the sorta rubberized finish around the sides.
Nowadays I have a Lumia 950 with a matte plastic back that has the same kind of soft-touch feel as the lid on my Thinkpad, and it's the nicest feeling phone I've ever had. Seriously. Fuck metal and fuck glass, I wish more manufacturers the same kind of matte plastic finish that the 950 has, cause at this point everything else is just unappealing hardware-wise.

>doesn't transfer heat very well, so phone doesn't get burning to the touch under load
>doesn't feel cold in the winter for the same reason
>doesn't get hot as fuck in summer, for the same reason as well as being white instead of black
>doesn't feel low quality because it's not a shitty glossy and slippery finish
>isn't a goddamn fingerprint magnet

Of all the things I have to say about the Lumia 950, the matte plastic back is the single best design choice in any modern high-end phone. I want this metal and glass meme to go.
>>
>>58075246
Official CM support is still not there, so all you have are Pajeet ROMs so far. I don't deny the hardware and price are on point but, right now, software-wise it's a gamble.

>>58075358
It's a mixed bag of love and hate, really.

Starting with the good, there's the hardware and most of the software. Hardware-wise, it is everything I could want it to be. UHS-1 microSD slot, removable battery, a USB-C port that isn't wired for fucking USB 2.0 like we've seen on a lot of other phones with full support for nice things like DisplayPort/HDMI over USB-C and transfer speeds exceeding 70 MB/s from the phone's internal storage when connected to a USB 3.0 port, super AMOLED screen, absolutely based camera (pic related), the aforementioned awesome plastic back, and the list goes on. I cannot for the life of me find a phone with more appealing hardware, and the few that get close are too huge.

Software-wise it's been a bumpy road, and this is where I have a love/hate relationship with it. I love the overall look and feel of Windows Phone 10, the way it uses pure black backgrounds in almost everything looks very nice on the AMOLED screen, and the vertical list-type start menu is a great change from the usual grid of icons, much easier to find apps in.

It was all really buggy at first when I got my phone back in January. WP10 was released too early, and it earned it a rightfully bad reputation. The 950/950 XL should have been released with WP8.1 with an optional upgrade to WP10. But MS seemed to work pretty hard on getting updates out and fixing the many and varied issues, and over the next many months I saw a lot of very frequent improvements.
For a while, I even had this very well integrated thing called "messaging everywhere" that allowed me to send and receive texts from my phone via my PC. That was great, and it worked flawlessly. Right until MS outright removed this feature in favor of... Adding it to Skype, which they (as far as I know) still have not done 6 months later. They had something that worked perfectly and they trashed it.

Lately, it's gone backwards with updates, the latest one introduced a lot of instability. Annoying. TBC.

So, I've had a few complaints here and there regarding the software during my time with this phone.
I won't go into past complaints cause there are too many small ones to bother and this is already TL;DR af.

Current complaints include...
Sometimes, when I want to wake my phone from standby, it fails to turn the screen on. I have to press the power button to put it back in standby and then I can wake it up. Thankfully it doesn't happen all the time, otherwise this would just be infuriating.
Occasionally, starting the camera app from standby by holding the camera button is fucked. Either by the same issue with failing to turn the screen on, or just giving me the lock screen instead of the camera app, requiring me to unlock the phone before using the camera. It's not consistent about this. Most of the time it works as you'd expect and takes me straight to the camera, but there's a chance just does one of those two as well.
The messaging app used to have nice different colours for different contacts, as well as having the first letter of the contact in the circle where a contact image would otherwise be. These have all been replaced with a generic grey icon with nothing to tell them apart. Why ? I have no idea. It was never mentioned in any release notes.
Groove Music is overall a pretty nice music player. When it doesn't take goddamn ages to register new tracks. Granted, I have 15.3k of them, but still. There's no way to force it to check for new tracks, I can only wait for it to do it automatically which can easily take up to 15 minutes at this point. Oh, and it can't have playlists with more than 1000 tracks. Fuck. But aside from that it's nice.
While on the subject of waiting, it takes a good while for the photos app to register new photos too.
Outlook STILL sucks dick at rendering emails on the small phone screen.
Windows Store is unstable as all hell, and very often fails to update apps.

I think that's about it for complaints right at this moment.

I'll be traveling to India shortly, and I need a new smartphone to use with AT&T here in the US

Any good phone I can buy there that isn't available here? Would still need to work with AT&T. Some Xiaomi or Chinese phone perhaps?
>>
Has there been anything new from xiaomi, especially the Mi X?
>>
>>58077197
India is apparently getting a sale for new OP3(not T) for only about 300 USD, other than that you can get chink shit here already.
>>
>>58068165
Redmi 4 Pro. it's faster and is not a brick.

>>58070722
P9 is the flagship model. Honor 8 is a tad slower but still pretty good. P9 lite is slower and has worse camera.

>>58071642
Moto G4 or NR.

>>58072784
Blu R1 HD 2/16 or moto g4 play.

>>58073269

No. G4+.

>>58073601
It does.

>>58073756
Ask on xda.

>>58075196
Flosmall with EU shipping insurance.

>>58076026

Why would you want it anyway? it's trash.

>>58076496
>>58077049
Install via EDL or fastboot. https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/wiki/advanced/flashofficial

It's easy.

>>58076971
Mi5s/Zuk Z2/Honor 8.

>>58077034
>SD810
No. it's old and crappy.

>>58077197
Always check the bands first. odds are most phones have any U.S bands.
>>
RN3P or Coolpad Cool Changer S1?
>>
>Germany
>E-Plus / o2
>Around 300€
I need a chink-phone with good battery life and a decent camera.

Honor 8, or if you want to cheap out then zuk z2.

But I'd say honor 8 for best camera. I've seen YouTube videos, and the amount of detail it can capture compared to other phones is just insane.

getting myself a Samsung J1 mini for christmas, upgrading from crappy iphone 4s doesn't even support uber app piece of shit. Anybody have insight into J1 mini?

It's not upgrading if you go from a shit phone to another shit phone

Is S7 Edge really worth the money?

Bent/smashed my nexus 6p like a dip. Is the Pixel XL a meme or the true heir to the nexus?
>>
>>58079202
If you consider ZUK Z2 only go for the not pro model if you don't need LTE. Only the ZUK Z2 pro has LTE bands.
>>
>>58079560
Yes

Looking into getting a Pixel.
I prefer smaller phones but is the Pixel XL worth getting over the regular Pixel for the better specs alone?
>>
How good is the redmi 3s? I don't like big phones, is there a better choice?
>>
>>58080776
redmi 4 prime
>>
>>58080654
It's cool buddy.
Next time try "disassembly" or "teardown" instead of repair though <3
>>
>>58080776
Zuk z2 is "only" 5 inches and pretty much a flagship despite being so cheap.

But if you don't want to spend $170ish, the redmi might be better for you
>>
>>58079456
i just bought this phone and so far it's been really good especially since there is almost no bloatware,just beware of that crappy camera
>>
>>58080076

It's funny how Xiaomi released MiUI8 through their own updater app for every single Xiaomi phone out there except for my Mi4C.

I'll see what i can do but i'm afraid i'll brick this shit
>>
UK here, been on an iphone 4 since 2012, ready to move to android, and I'm torn between the OP3T and the redmi 4, I'm more than willing to pay for the OP but obviously no one wants to pay more when they don't have to, wondering what /g/ thinks
>>
Fuck it. After quite a while on trying to decide what to buy, I think its gonna be iPhone SE 64 GB.
>>
>>58081736
enjoy your great camera, battery life, perfect one-handed use form factor, and timely, guaranteed updates, faggot
>>
Karbon or Sandstone case for OP3?
>>
>>58081763
honestly, cant miss with SE. its just dat price...but eh, at least i know what im getting
>>
>>58081826
Don't upgrade to iOS 10.
The screen size sucks with the interface changes.
>>
is cm13 actually happening on s7e
>>
>>58064737
bump
>>
>>58081811
Sandstone is gr8, don't have a Karbon to try out tho.
>>
other than the splitscreen thing are there any notable advantages of using CM14/Nougat so far?
>>
Hello /spg/, I couldn't find anything about this in the links in the OP but I'm looking for a burner smartphone, and I'm wondering if this thread has some reccs on where/how to buy one? It can be as simple as possible, and cheap as a phone, but I do need it to run android.

>inb4 using a smartphone as a burner
I need a spare number that's not directly tied to my identity, and it needs to be able to get email and use Google Authenticator or some other TOTP app.
>>
>>58083065
Go ask your CIA handler what phone to get. Alternatively just go onto gb and get the cheapest brick you can find, all of them will at the very least work on 2G
>>
>>58081342
Barely a handful got marshmallow. What did you expect?
It's xiaomi ffs.
>>
>>58080131
Eh. Depends on how much you value gimmicks.
>>
>>58083172
that's all I need I guess. I was just wondering if anyone in the thread had experience with it.
>>
Just got a pixel XL.Is there a definitive guide on how to unlock/root?
I checked all over xda but all the guides are old and seem to contain old information related to the november patch to 7.1.1.
I know verizon locked the boot loader but it seems "depixel8" can be used to unlock it, but only for htc phones under verizon, yet many guides say to use it for pixel xl's from verizon?
Help?

>Was just about to place an order on a small 32gb Pixel
>First thing I see when I google Pixel is this
Geez. The static sound problems are absolutely terrible from what I'm seeing. I almost don't want to pick up a Pixel myself anymore.

What do you guys think? Still worth getting or no?
>>
>>58083701
lmoa none of us are dumb enough to buy a $300 smartphone for $900+tax just because it has a dumb logo on the back, youre on your own here fuckboy

>>58083912
>dozens of videos showing how the crackling issue is common
>guise do i still give goldberg my money for one of those?

totally, buy an lg g4 as well and store all your personal, irreplaceable info on the internal storage of the phone, make sure you delete any backups you have of them
>>
>>58055583
how bad of an idea is it to get a blackberry priv?
>>
>>58084048
Very, blackberry already handed their smartphones to tft aka alcatel and those niggas like to cater to hispanic poorfags and rarely update even their most expensive phone
>>
>>58084107
muh keyboard though
>>
>>58055583
I really like the passport but the priv looks so cool, i'm 100% getting either one. Is the priv really worth 100 quid more than the passport considering i'll literally just use it to browse 4chan/google maps/nike running/listen to music?
>>
>>58055583
Im goin to be making the jump from a iphone to a android, im liking the look of the v20 so far

do you guys have any tips on what phone to get?
>>
>>58084328
read the OP dumb nigger
>>
>>58084328
Buy an oukitel k6000 pro.
It's the best!
The Best!
>>
>>58084328
Would recommend a HTC 10 since they're the most reliable brand out there from my experience and what I've heard. It's much smaller than the v20. But lg has a history of bootloop issues on multiple phones. However it's becoming a much rarer thing and the swappable battery is sweet. You could get a extended battery for it for longer trips and shit.
>>
>>58084391
why does the v20 have a bootloop problem? it sounds pretty nice but i dunno.
>>
>>58084407
Shit soldering, i wouldnt buy an LG phone until they get their shit together instead of adding yet another useless, dumb gimmick to their newest smartphone.

HTC 10 or OP3T are your safest bets.
>>
>>58084407
G3, G4, V10, and the G5 had the problem. The motherboard is poorly has bad soldering and the connections break. After one year it wouldn't boot up. It's a hardware issue. No idea if it's affecting the v20.
>>
>>58084407
The issue at hand is that the low-temp solder they use in the BGA chip interface softens when the chips overheat, thus allowing movement. LG hasn't changed it's process for producing phones, so it will occur again and again with every successive model.
It's a planned obsolescence thing.
>>
>>58084523
>>58084500
>>58084432
oh, thats a shame, i really liked the v20 too.

there any others like it?
>>
>>58084500
Yeah it does, the video of the japanese guy showing how the v20 shat itself in 5 months seems to have been deleted (i first saw it 6 days ago and had it bookmarked for this exact situation, but i guess the LGIDF seems to be in full force)

You can still google LG v20 bootloop and it will show you at least 20 different videos about how their phone shat the bed in mere months.
>>
>>58084567
is there any other phones similar to it? i liked it for the one quad dac amp thing and the two cameras
>>
>>58084567
Ah damn
Always hoped to get a flagship with zerolemon again after my s4..
>>58084587
Unfortunately there's no other high end smartphone with a swappable battery.
There's the Moto Z with a battery module but it's a whole different concept.
>>
>>58084623
yea, but is there some android phones out there with the fancy audiostuffs like the v20 had? or the dual cameras?
>>
>>58084637
>fancy audio stuff
Axon 7 or HTC 10
>>
>>58084760
oh nice, thanks.
>>
>>58084804
The axon 7 closes most normalfag apps when locked so i would go for the HTC 10 unless youre planning on using a custom rom on the axon 7, if there is even one that is
>>
>>58084906
i dont wanna mess with roms i might mess somthing up.
>>
Is a Moto G4 Plus for $200 a good deal?
>>
>>58084933
Then you might want to read https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/5gub1d/i_regret_buying_the_axon_7/ , yesterday an anon linked this and it seems like its true, go for the HTC 10 or the S7E, or a meme chinkphone like the succ or the redmeme
