>not buying your phone off contract

>>58134223
I think you made a pretty bad mistake. If you have t-mobile coverage at all there are like 3 MVNOs that offer true unlimited LTE for under $70 a month. Anyway, people very very drastically over estimate the amount of performance they require from their phone. I guarantee you if I took the internals from my $100 Galaxy S4. No, fuck that, from my $12 moto e, and some how put them in say a Galaxy S7 body, you could never tell the difference.

A low end chip is perfectly sufficient for web browsing, messaging, music, etc. What 99.9% of people do on their phones. Try to get out of your shit contract and pick up a new phone. You can buy the moto g4 play on verizon prepaid for $75 and it is GSM unlocked out of the box.

disconnect mobile data when you're on wifi?
is that too difficult?

>can't deny apps mobile data
Yes you can you fucking idiot. App traffic control comes with 5.0+ Android, and even if you don't have it by default you can use AFwall+ or NetGuard.
>inb4 don't want to root
NetGuard works without root. And why wouldn't you root? That's like saying you don't want root/admin access on your PC. Stop being a cuck.
>>58134471
>I don't trust 3rd parties
Then don't use anything you didn't code yourself and stop using non-google services on Android. There's no reason not to trust AFwall as it's open source and has nothing to hide™.

what are you getting this shit from?

when at home, i just disable mobile data, everything keeps working perfectly

most apps should have an option to not do anything over mobile data, even overchan can work text only in mobile, you can browse /g/ in full under a single megabyte

That's too bad bro. Next time get an iPhone you can control cellular data usage for each app individually.

>>58136645
The prices are low because all of these countries have brand new infrastructure.

In Android you can set foreground and background data settings for each app if you want.

Background data is used for synching and other background functions when your screen is off.

Foreground data is used when your screen is on and you are using the active app.

You can set these options for wifi and for mobile data as you want. Just open any app's "app info" and select "app data usage".

>>58137752
Yup, 30 base w/ 1 gig, 2 gigs would be 40, 3 50 and so on. I'm on a Cricket plan that is 40 for 2.5GB of LTE (that I never go over on) + Unlimited 3G. Would cost me 50 bucks on fi because they round up.

>>58140049
>Would cost me 50 bucks on fi because they round up.
Technically they don't, any unused prepaid data is credited back. It's still a bad deal for anyone that uses more than 1 gig of data though.

Why the hell are you guys using so much data? My month Fi bill is $23, and OP is on track for $30

I don't need to waste $40 on an unlimited plan. What are you guys doing? Streaming heavily downscaled videos 24/7? I'd much rather watch things over a stable Wi-Fi connection anyway.

>Falling for the Google Fi meme.

>>58142962
Are you retarded? You can deny permission for any app from receiving internet data and connecting/disconnecting from WiFi you imbecile. iOS doesn't offer anything close to this level of control

>>58134223
it's not your router it's the phone. the 5x has horrible wifi dropout issues. i suffered the same crap for months when i had no computer, on shoddy wi-fi, it'd drop, wouldn't alert me, and a few times i went over my 2GB soft cap by 2GB.

several possible fixes:
>use some annoying data blocking app like DataEye and become painfully aware of how shitty your wifi is when it's enabled
>never stream on shitty wi-fi/get a wifi extender/reposition your router so the wifi is stronger in the area you stream the most.
i sat outside in the garage/near the garage and streamed youtube in the summer months a lot. the wifi was so bad and dropping so constantly that i got fed up. i moved it from a bedroom to the dining room. stuck it up in the window and basically used the neighbor's aluminum siding as a wifi signal reflector. it easily tripled the wi-fi signal in my backyard, and the strength never drops below 80% over any inch of my property. so clearly router placement is pretty crucial.

last but not least
>stop caring and pay for the extra fucking data
there's also been a couple times where i just used an enormous amount of data because i'd forgotten that i had wifi disabled. shit happens, but ultimately it's your fault. the way project fi is set up it's essentially unlimited data anyway, you're only paying for what you're using. so in those off months you don't pay as much for data, consider it credit towards those months you fuck up and go over.

One of the great things about the 5x is the monthly security patches. After you modify your root directory as part of installing supersu, you now fail a device check which means you can't install ota patches.

I had mine rooted originally, but the upgrade to 7.0 nuked everything. I honestly haven't felt the urge to re-root the thing... There's some ad blocker I'd like to run but not if it means manually flashing security patches. Fuck that
