NO NO NO

NO FUCKING WAY, WHAT WILL I DO NOW?

I BOUGHT MY PHONES BASED ON WHETHER THEY HAD OFFICIAL CYANOGENMOD SUPPORT OR NOT, NOW I WILL HAVE TO EITHER FULLY TAKE THE CORPORATE COCK IN THE ASS AND DEAL WITH A SHITTY, UNOPTIMIZED, LAGGY UI OR RISK USING A SHITTY PAJEET ROM WHERE NOTHING BUT THE HOMESCREEN AND SETTINGS WORK FOR THE FIRST 20 RELEASES/UPDATES

FUCK


I guess from now on its only HTC and Motorola phones for me, and thats if HTC doesnt die halfway through and the Motorola name dissapears and gets fully absorbed by lelnovo.

>>58157854
Yeah. Plenty reason.

Even inexpensive phones like a rmn3p or a Zuk Z2 will be a massive upgrade in every way possible

>>58157977
Cyanogen inc. is kill.

Cyanogenmod is community driven, so it's no kill.

>>58158014
This.

Plus you'll always have other shizzwizz like RR or slim or LePajeet

>>58157993
The point is:
I don't see the point in huge 5-6" battery draining smartphones; I don't play games on my phone have no need to watch videos except when neded. Additionally, newer phones look very flimsy and fragile while the s advance has given me no problem whatsoever..

Anyway, if it takes off i look forward to shitposting with you from my future HTC 22 running LineageOS 12.

>>58158054
Those huge "battery draining" phones have better battery life than the smaller phones because the extra space is mainly used on bigger battery.

>>58158224
>•However, CyanogenMod will rebrand as LineageOS.
So it's nothing. they'll continue with a shittier name.

Also RR and Mokee are better anyways so whatever.

>>58158241

>>just finishing up my paying off my Note 5, I love the S-Pen. Something similar without the exploding battery would be nice.
what the fuck is wrong with americans?

you can't even afford a phone straight up and you want to change it the moment you're done paying for it? why do americans love living in debt so much?

>>58158609
Keeping up with The Jones.

>>58158465
Well zuk z2 has a snapdragon 820 paired with a 1080p screen so it gets better performance and battery life than most flagships.

The xiaomi has a slightly bigger screen and battery but weaker and more efficient SoC so it's a matter of what you prefer.
If camera matters though, avoid xiaomi, but if battery life is a priority it might be the better choice.

So back in the day, I went full autism with my online persona and made a stack of different identities. It wouldn't be a problem now but I'm still actually using a good chunk of them because I can quit the communities, and thankfully I managed to keep them out of my personal and professional lives so that nobody could link the stupid shit I did/do/said back then back to me (yet).

But managing the identities from a desktop sort of sucks. I've tried consolidating all the traffic and correspondence onto one account several times (e.g. redirect them to one Gmail account, make one mail client manage the couple dozen e-mail accounts, etc.) but that shit never worked for me because some accounts get more traffic than others and I always forget to check/respond to others so they get lost in the cracks, keep catching myself accidentally sending mail from the wrong account, etc. What HAS worked is just having a set of phones, one for each. I have one shitty ZTE speed I bought last year on a whim for one account, and my personal stuff on a different phone, and swapping between the two's worked great so far.


I'm starting a new job now, but the new job is asking me to get on the social media bandwagon and basically made me sign up for like 10 different social media and work communication services so I need a new phone since I made a new identity for that, obviously. What are some decent Android Lollipop or better phones that I can buy multiples of without breaking the bank? $50-$100 range maybe? I might've considered just using my personal identity but all those social media apps are going to bog down my personal phone. If the third phone works out though, I might just start migrating all my shit to individual phones so that I can stop worrying.

I need to recover a delete video file off my rooted note 5.

I'm on linux, and the phone has been shut down since the deletion.

I'm reading that it's certainly possible using photorec but it needs the internal storage to be mounted as exactly that, mass storage and not MTP etc. I don't know how to do that.

I can use the android SDK to make a dump of the internal storage and then mount that, but still, I don't know how to do that. How do I make an image of the internal memory and have it saved on my PC?

I'm hoping for a shortcut/fast guide for this. Anything?

>>58158036
Are slimroms good? I was thinking about installing it on my RN3P. What initially caused me to be interested in the ROM is the lack of pajeets working it and instead mostly Americans.

>>58158898
Protip, if your job asks you to sign up to facebook, twitter or something dumb like that it isnt worth it, the most those guys should ask of you is using a certain IM app to keep in contact with you since they seem allergic to regular calls and sms or maybe just too broke for it.

>>58159014
Why does it matter who made the rom as long as it's good?

>>58158898

>>58158950
No. RN3P or Zuk Z2. Moto G4 if you wanna stay in Moto family.

>>58159030
Ehh, I don't mind. They didn't make me use my personal account, and this way I can have a new public-facing professional front. I was going to sign up for some anyway but I was waffling on how I'd do it until the new job asked me to just basically sign up for all of them at once. Also nobody bats an eye if a person has a work phone and a personal phone.

What I'm more curious about is if anybody uses the T-Mobile family plans for multiple lines or if I can do better than the $70/mo + $20/mo per line for 4G that they have on their website.

I bought a lg optimus l90 a six months ago for $90.

It's fucking shit.

Two days after I bought it the screen cracked.

I used it for about 4 months with stock rom. 1 GB ram made pokemon go crash all the time.

On the stock factory rom the phone app would occasionally crash at random!

The cell reception is garbage. I live across the street from a fucking cell tower and it barely gets one bar if it is connected at all.

I flashed cyanogenmod--- not much difference.

Under cyanogenmod, if you changed the lock screen wallpaper to a large picture, the lockscreen (and nothing else) would become unusably laggy. Trying to change the wallpaper back to something normal would crash the wallpaper picker. I fixed it by factory-resetting (because I installed secDroid and could no longer use ADB).

This is what I get for buying a 3 year old phone without checking the specs.

######

I'm now contemplating buying a Moto g4 Play as a replacement because it has 2gb of ram. My budget is about $150 and I don't usually need much of anything besides the ability to occasionally use google maps over the network data.

Whatever phone I get I hope to not need to replace until it breaks. (I still have a working nokia 6230).

I'm in the usa using usmobile (which piggybacks off of t-mobile)

So CyanogenMod users, what will you do now that CM is kill? Wait for Lineage (dumb name, but whatever) or switch to a different ROM?

Active display means the phone lights up to show you the time whenever it detects your sausage fingers near its body or when it detects any vibration.

I disabled that shit immediately because all it does is waste battery (i live right next to a road where cargo trucks drive through every night), its just a tiny amount but this means that i can fully charge it just before i go to sleep and wake up after 8-9 hours with the phone at 98% instead of 94%, both times with wifi on and with f-droid and tachiyomi updating every 3 hours.

The Moto G 2016 line (G4, G4+, G4P) does have a notification led, its just hidden and disabled, with root you can use an app to enable it but only when its plugged and charging, there is also a rom for the G4+ that does use the notification led for notifications but its still buggy and only for that device, and since the led was disabled and never considered for actual use in the first place this means its huge, practically a low lumen flashlight instead of a tiny dot flashing every few seconds.

If the little led is that important to you and your budget is 100 dollars you might want to consider getting a Huawei P8 Lite, one of my nieces has it and its pretty good, the only disadvantage is having an absolutely disgusting stock rom and non removable smaller battery.

I have had several phones with notification light and after switching to a G4P i can tell you that i really dont see the advantage of one, but then again when my only notifications are obscure niche youtuber uploading part 20 of weeaboo game and my room is pitch fucking black when you close the door its no wonder i dont miss it.

No.

Why do people even buy chinkphones if they don't live in ching-chong land? Do you guys enjoy 2G or some shit? I don't get it.

is it fine to wipe the /Data partition if im completely flashing a new rom?
the issue for me is somehow my phone has like 16 GB internal memory but with a fresh install i have like maybe 2gb free.
i assume this is from previous roms as i have had this phone for a long time. if i were to go into twerp and do a full wipe of every file and partition could that hurt my phone in any way? its a gs5 klte variant.

>>58161934
They're good and inexpensive.

> Do you guys enjoy 2G or some shit?
They've supported 4G for years now (no problem here because like most of the world other than the USA, this place in Europe HAS phone operators operating some of the global LTE bands).

OTOH I actually also don't care much, yes. Hopping WLAN is cheaper and faster in most cases.

> Is the Mi5 over priced?
Not really.

But the "ability to repair" is as limited as on virtually every other phone. And you picked one of the Xiaomis without microSD. It'd be more like a Redmi4 / Redmi Note 3 or 4 / Mi Max or something if you want microSD.

There also are a dozen non-Xiaomi chinkphones that would apply.

>>58162057

You can unlock it and flash zui super easily. There's guides on zukforums as well as global zui roms.

What chinkphone has the best cm support(and is cheaper than OP3). Just flashed it on friend's mi5 and ended up with left and right buttons not working and spotty LTE(not to mention the bootloader unlocking process, ugh) so it's out of the question.

>>58161953
You're SUPPOSED to wipe data. It's only apps and their storage. Your actual files are on the "internal storage" partition.

>>58162290
Did you install cm14 or cm13? Cm14's been out a little over a month for the Xiaomi so it'll still be a while before it's ready for daily use. Out of Xiaomi phones I know at least the Mi Max and RN3P also get official cyanogenmod roms.

I've had a BB Classic for a couple years, and a Curve 8520 for a couple before that. I've smashed the Classic's screen though, so need a replacement.

Uses are
>calling & texting (sometimes)
>emails (important)
>calendar (important)
>browsing (sometimes, mostly to use FB chat since BB discontinued the native app ages ago)
>security + privacy (important)

Should I a) get a new Classic, which fulfilled everything I needed admirably or b) get a new phone that does these and not much more?

If b), I'd really like more freedom with my device if possible so I was thinking about an old Nexus + flashing Replicant, but I'm not sure how painful one of those would be to use nowadays - can anyone advise?

From what you state, your options are as follows:
1. Waiting for the Mercury (pic related)
2. Getting a nexus 6P on sale (was $399 during the summer iirc)
3. Or getting another classic, probably also on sale still.

So which of these options appeals to you the most? Is waiting tolerable? Do you really want full android and no keyboard?

>>58162826
The OP3T is a good option if she's coming from iphones. She's probably expecting a good camera and relative smoothness. The P9/G4Plus don't offer that.

Alternatively, I'm considering forking out a bunch more yurobucks for a Neo FreeRunner (http://shop.goldelico.com/wiki.php?page=GTA04%20Complete) for dat sweet sweet freedom whilst I wait for the Neo900 to come out, if anyone has any experience with that?

>>58163748
They're right that the note 7s have the actual problem, the recent S7 blowing up devices seem unrelated completely.

If you want to keep it, then keep it. Since you say you're fine with your current phone, then get a refund, give it to your parents, or sell it. Buy them something nice with a portion of the money as a thanks and then pocket the rest.

Just some ideas!~

There is a range IP ban for VZW

>>58163764
They state they have plenty of phones coming, but the past two devices they released were pretty mediocre, although the dtek50 around here was reasonably priced.
This is the last design with the keyboard I believe. Unless they're going to release a Priv 2, or Passport 2/Classic 2 (with full android).

The Classic is such a good device though. I really hope they come out with a sequel.
No experience with the Neos, sorry.

>>58163275
Zuk z2 is best value in this range if it floats your boat

>>58163659
Not really. The only thing you risk in most cases is a soft-brick which can we fixed extremely easily

>>58163659
When you learn how to do that your phone become virtually unbrickable.

>Currently Not Working
>Camera, FPS, GPS, Encryption

Why even bother

>>58163748
Just keep it, you'll be fine. It's a perfect phone in my opinion, and should last you well over 5-6 years like an iPhone 4 would, not to mention it's got a much better screen, battery, and camera. Just roll with it famalam.

>>58162826
What >>58162889 said. The honor 8 has a good camera for the price, but still won't touch the pixel or other flagship phones.

Thanks. I'll try and preach the OP3T gospel to her.

I don't think she fully realizes how much of a gamble non-flagship androids really can be.

>>58165137
Yes, exactly. It's very easy to see $150 android devices and without knowing much about operating systems, make the switch. But it's hellish if you have absolutely no idea what you're doing (and don't want to get dirty with AOSP/CM/etc).

Still, the OP3T is amazing for the price so convincing her to roll with that should be much easier. HTC 10 too depending on sales. Should last at least 3 years if she's not uber clumsy.

The fuck. The Pixel doesn't have SD slot? What the fuck am I supposed to do with this? How do you guys listen to music, assuming I have a low data cap (1GB)?

Is there a such thing as a protective case that has a microSD slot?

ZUK Z2 or Mi5 or Redmi Note 3 Pro

Anyone who's switched from Android to iOS, what are the things that you miss the most and is it worth in the end?
At the moment I'm on G4 with 128gb memory card. Mostly using it for watching films mainly in .mkv formats so will probably do that on the new phone but I've heard transferring stuff is a pain. The phone I'm eyeing at the moment is 7 Plus 128gb. Any advice would be really appreciated.

>>58165455
>The fuck. The Pixel doesn't have SD slot? What the fuck am I supposed to do with this?

not buy it for starters.

>Is there a such thing as a protective case that has a microSD slot?

not as far as i know. no idea how that tech would work without taking up your usb-c port and probably destroying your battery life anyways.

A few months ago I was considering the Redmi note 3 pro for when my phone died.
It just died this evening and now I notice the Redmi note 4 is out.
How does it compare? Should I be considering it?

>>58165527
Zuk has a better camera processor and now even a official ROM (MoKee inb4 who?).
Redmi has better battery life bigger screen msd slot and a official ROM (CM).

How's the Xperia E5?

>>58162203
Axon 7 of course.

>>58166232
No you should not.

>>58165689
The point anon is making is that if you can spend a million bucks on a phone that isn't even worth that much, yet you can't even (over)pay for your fucking plan, then why even bother entirely?

Or worse, you bought an overpriced phone but didn't even fucking realize it had no SD slot when you were purchasing it? What a disaster.

Y'all talked me into buying a zuk z2. should i flash the thing or is the stock rom ok?

You can flash stock+xposed. Tempted to try and using a different design. But MoKee is giving me insane battery life (for this phone). Will post it when i hit 5%.

Is there a way to find the .apk file associated with an "icon" in the drawer?

I've been looking for this piece of shit for forever. I know it's from my carrier because it's fucking ugly looking, but I can't remove it. I don't know what it is. It opens Settings > Mobile Hotspot and when you check the info I believe it goes to either settings or android system. Something like that.

So, it seems to be a shortcut, but it's impossible to remove. You can't even disable it. The fuck?

im thinking of getting rn3p does the fp/camera different on 16gb and 32gb?

>>58158898
Moto G4 Play

I have an iPhone SE as a work phone and a Xperia Z3 as my personal phone.

Looking to consolidate to just main one phone - something with the same feels as a Sony/Apple
On AT&T, max budget is $1000

>>58158950
It's got one big software update still to come (Android 7). Very good battery life. Good enough specs if you're not HD GAYMING XDXD.

Drawbacks: too big if you're a handlet like me. Stock Android/on-screen buttons are crap compared to the Samsung-style. No fingerprint scanner. If those aren't a problem, get it because it's good for that price.

I have a rooted lg g3 (~64000 on antutu). Haven't had any problems so far, but i feel like upgrading. Anything worth upgrading to at the moment? Any phone worth waiting for that will come out in 2017?

Is there any way to bypass FRP on a j5 yet? All the standard methods are broken with the new updates

>>58167941
How fucking dumb can one person be.

Install a custom launcher, nova prime is the one that resembles most stock android launchers the most, then go to nova settings>apps>hide apps and check the mobile hotspot app, there you go, no more ugly icon on your app drawer.

Unless said icon is on the homescreen, in which case you really must be absolutely fucking retarded to not know how to remove it.

Have they changed HTC 10's polarized screen yet? I have polarized transition lenses so I'm not sure I can use the phone outside conveniently.

For $500 and in sexy red it's my perfect phone though.

>>58163748
>S7's blowing up

samsung is kill to normies i guess

I'm thinking of getting a mi5, but I don't know if I should just get something cheap for now like a redmi and wait for the mi6. Thoughts?

>>58169026
No? The phone is perfect sans for that little "detail" which affects like 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of its userbase, so it hasnt gotten any kind of revision.

Might as well get another phone, they wont change shit just because some dumb four-eyes uses special snowflake glasses, and if you dont really need them for anything but looking cool then buy another non polarized pair, you dont need to wear glasses indoors unless youre a certain character from resident evil.

>>58161192

Is the Samsung J7 worth buying?

>>58169440
Id say deal with it and get the HTC10 if you care about audio, your other two choices have legitimate flaws, not just some minor issue that most people dont care about.


LG G5/V10/V20: Bootloops up the ass, LG in general is a shitty smartphone brand, their only phones safe from their shitty soldering are ironically the low budget ones.

ZTE Axon 7: Stock rom kills a fuckload of apps whenever you lock the phone, notoriously facebook, all instant messaging apps, music players, gmail, stock messaging app, stock calls app, youtube, leddit,snapchat and even the fucking clock/alarm app, this means youll get absolutely no notifications unless you keep it unlocked and with the screen active at all times, which will obviously drain the battery seven times as fast, couple that with the phone having an AMOLED screen and youll have burn-in after a few weeks of use, not to mention random ghost touches if you keep it in your pants.

Now if you no longer want a phone with dedicated dac for audio i would get either the OP3T or the normal S7, depends on whether you want sd slot or not, dont even consider an iphone, the pixlel or any nexus phone.

>>58157483

ZTE Axon 7. It's the only phone that ticks literally all the best boxes.

>Dual Front Facing speakers
>64GB storage with MicroSD
>Proper 'murrkan LTE bands.
>Fingerprint sensor
>Headphone jack
>Decent battery size

>>58169797

the htc 10 ticks those boxes
technically it has one speaker on the front and one on the bottom

>>58169690
J7 no

J7 2016 no

J7 Prime no

All overpriced and underwhelming, the best out of those three, J7 Prime, costs 340 fucking dollars and offers entry level specs and a shitty tft screen, only reedemable quality is the battery, mind you you could get a vanilla OP3 or a souped up Galaxy Note 4 (10,000 mAh battery, 128 SD card, tempered glass screen protector) for that price, both vastly superior phones and with more or less the same battery.

>>58169854
my friend has an htc 10 and it's not even close to the same sound quality and volume coming out.

The axon 7 is hands down better

Suspicious that this >>58169739 anon points out a glaring flaw on the axon 7 and the next few posts someone immediately includes said phone amongst his choices and 3 other anons shill for it, even putting down the undisputed king when it comes to audio, HTC.

How's the CM support (er, Lineage support now, I guess)? That's the important question.

i can get an htc 10 for like 420 euro but it just feels weird to buy something not really new
I want something solid that will last a while since I dont use phones that much
should i get this or one plus 3t

Ok niggers. I broke my mobile shitposing station. What fucking phone do I buy? I was looking towards the OnePlus 3T. What would you all recommend?

Redmi Note 3 pro or redmi note 4? Moto g 3rd gen also an option.

I've got a 2013 Moto X right now. I like its small form and AMOLED screen. I dislike that its bootloader locked (though carrier unlocked and rooted) and its lack of an SD slot, and it's kinda falling apart.

It's a phablet, but it's got an SD slot and it's really cheap. I don't game at all on phones. Coming from a 2013 phone, I don't have many concerns about it's CPU/RAM.
Couple questions:

Is the Moto G4's screen pretty decent, though non-AMOLED?
Is it bootloader unlocked (I know it's carrier unlocked)?

>>58170581
RN3P

is the bootloop problem that bad or is it a /g/ meme?

>>58170670

>>58170670
/g/ memed the Nexus 5X bootloop issue to hell and back, but mine has never had a single issue. So I'd say the odds are good it's just a meme for the V20 as well.

>>58170349
Basically. Useless russians and pajeets releasing babbys first rom.

Granted, if you're building on your own and can find source for whatever phone you're looking at - by all means jump into that chinkphone. Otherwise? You'll regret it in 6 months.

Buy last years flagship on ebay instead (I mean even almost-two-year old flagships now are good enough). Should be around the same price as these chinkphones anyways. I mean, unless you're spending under $299, in that case go Moto or just chill the fuck out with buying a phone for the time being.

Upset at my ASUS ZenFone 2's battery life.
Broke down and bought a OnePlus 3T over the ZTE nubia Z11.

Did I make the right choice? I based my decision on battery life and efficiency. I went with the 128GB model because no removable storage. (BTW: lol at the tards who bid on a used one on ebay when they went back in stock on the OnePlus store.)

Besides that, maybe the camera wasn't as good, hard to see much quality difference between the two. Didn't want my pictures to look blurry as fuq like on the nubia Z11 especially when I rarely take pictures of moving subjects.

is the 6P still worth it right now at under $350?

When is the Mi5c?

Is the RN3P still worth buying?

Asked for a phone, wanted a surprise. Said nothing too expensive, just a solid midrange phone.

They got me a ZTE Axon 7 Mini, not too bad I guess. It was from someone technologically illiterate relatively speaking. At least they didn't get me a samshit.

>>58171954
Unless the mi5c is under $150 you'll be better off with a zuk z2

>>58172012
I hoping it will be under $130. Also zuk is $180 and I won't touch that shit even if it is $120. Too much shilling.

>>58172283

I'd trust the trustworthy than some shitty Zuk that even reviewers find as ugly and average, generic looking and has spyware.

>>58172437
Have you tried curing checking the forums or xda, if there was anything wrong with them I'm sure people would be speaking out against it. XDA wouldn't censor that.

And there's definitely more than 2 people recommending it.

Also, I haven't seen any reviews call it ugly and having spyware. Source?

Motorola gives you instructions on how to unlock the bootloader of their phones in their own page (Sony and HTC do too), so don't worry about that.

The G4's screen is on par with any flagship LCD phone, however the phone itself has a few problems, google them if you don't believe me.

The snapdragon it shipped with has serious overheating issues, games leave the phone hot enough to cook an egg on it, 1080p videos less so but it's still uncomfortable to hold.

Screen burn-in in the status bar even though it has an LCD panel, I've heard it only happens to people in mexico, canada and india but it's common enough for Lenovo to acknowledge it.

You might think the G4 Plus, supposedly an improved version of the G4, would suffer from none of this right? Nope, it has all that and more, the screen burn-in is now a world wide issue and unavoidable, the fingerprint sensor stops working randomly and the little glass covering the camera scratches easily and falls off.

If you want a Moto G phone get the G4 Play or just get the Moto Z Play; SD slot, cheap for what they offer, AMOLED on the Z Play, no issues so far and incredible battery duration for both.

Was super nice. We had a picnic and went out on the rocks.

I want a new phone since my oneplus one runs like shit these days, apps constantly lock up, so I have to force reboot on my phone to get it to work again.

I looked at the Xiaomi Mi 5s, and it looks like it has really good specs for the price. Does anyone here have one? What do you think about it?

The specs are very similar to those on the Oneplus 3T, but only has 3 GB of RAM. Does that even make a huge difference?

Easiest way to make system applications?

I've tried lots of methods, but it doesn't seem to work. What did work was flashing it such as for Xposed or SuperSU, but God damn... Should be an easier way.

>>58173720
I'll be honest here. The only xiaomi phones worth the money are the redmi series.

If you want to spend more on chink shit, go with 1+ or zuk.

>>58159049
You will not want the bugs you tell me XD attitude.

need to get a new phone real soon as my nexus 6 has finally started crapping on me. 6P or oneplus 3t?

>>58172465
>Also, I haven't seen any reviews call it ugly and having spyware. Source?
Lenovo was caught having malware in their OS

Is the RN3P still a good phone without CM?

I only have a budget of $114.99

HOLY F*CK is that the ZUk Z2's (Non Pro) Camera?

Including moto and zuk?
Source on that? I'm worried if my zuk z2 pro is malware.

Comparing Lenovo to zuk is like comparing WD to HGST. It's a subdivision of Lenovo.

>>58174639
It's the pro, not regular z2

>>58174675
digusting, there's no reason to get the pro over a op3t..

Why a phone? Are you seriously going to wander around with 7+ mobile devices, or are you stationary? You're going to pay for individual lines for every account?

Just buy an bunch of kindle fires and flash them to lollipop. If you really need to be doing this on the move, buy one mobile device and have it run as a hotspot

Opinions on the Droid Turbo 2?

Could get that from warranty, but I could also buy an unlocked Moto phone or something around $150

What's the best custom rom now that cyanogenmod is kill?

Didn't a court case reveal that BB has a single hard coded decryption password for all SMS sent from all their devices?

Currently own: Galaxy Nexus (Yes, the Samsung from 2011)
>Reason to buy new phone: Current phone is beginning to restart randomly, battery life is low
Considering: Xiomi Mi Max.
>Reasons to consider the above: Affordable, modern phone, very large battery life

For a person who needs an affordable modern phone with the best battery life, what are the alternatives to the Mi Max? I am buying the phone outright, no installments. Or is my research on point and the Mi Max is the optimum choice for affordability+battery life?

Thank you.

>>58174952
Please note: Mi Max, not Mix. I know that the Mix has a nice aesthetic, but I cannot afford it. I cannot really afford anything that is "flagship price".

I've been looking for a proper small (4,5-4,9") smartphone for a while now but it seems that they are either crap, overpriced (sony) or close to no one produces them. Because of that I think I'll settle for Redmi 4 Prime, unless someone can show me the ultimate small smatphone. Please help, my hands are small

Anyone know where I can get a RN3P for cheap in the UK? cheers.

>>58174976
Xiaomi framework is full of bloat. If there's cm available it's usually half functional or at best inefficient because they don't release the hardware apis.

Just buy another nexus or a phone that's a spiritual successor to the nexus (oneplus, etc

>>58163275
Moto G4 Plus

>>58174952
>Currently own: Galaxy Nexus (Yes, the Samsung from 2011)

he fell for gaLAGxy nexus meme. kek i remembered everyone shilling that lag phone here 4 years ago, rilly dum they put powervr540 on hd display.

>>58175097
>Just buy another nexus
The Nexus line has been discontinued in favour of the Pixel stuff, and that is too pricey. Oneplus does not have the battery life.

>>58174952
Xiaomi is only worth it if you get a redmi.

See if you can't grab a or zuk z2 pro instead. It gets ~8 hours SoT which is decent.

Or a redmi note 3 pro? That gets fantastic battery life and would be the better option if you don't mind a weak as shit camera.

Lenovo K6 or Samsung A5 (2016)?

I'm looking for a smartphone new smartphone but all the new smartphones I seem to be the same story . Very large, very expensive , very powerful and " locked down" hardware wise. Does anyone know of a phone that has around a 4-4.5 inch screen size , only need around 1-2 gbs of ram and a lower end CPU also needs expandable storage.

Is the Moto G4 any good?

No, not the G4 Plus.
No, I don't want to get the G4 Plus.

Just wondering if the G4 is alright on its own.

>>58175219
Probably the k6?
But if the samsung is AMOLED then get that instead.

Stick with my Xperia z (just z, not z1) or get a xa ultra? I like that my z is water proof but idk.

>>58175253
In what way is your xperia z not meeting your needs?

>>58175150
>Xiaomi is only worth it if you get a redmi.
I can get the Note 4 for a bit cheaper ($35) than the Mi Max. After checking out the ZUK Z2 Pro, I am not interested, as the battery life is much lower.

>>58175287
It wouldnt cost me anything, id be giving the z to someone (an agreement we have, basically they destroy phones so i give them my old phone whenever they want a new phone).

As for that question mainly the camera i guess, im still kinda happy with it.

>>58175300
The note 4 has worse battery life than a zuk z2 pro.

IPS + Mediatek kills the battery much faster than AMOLED + Qalcomm.

Get a note 3 pro at least.

>>58174996
zuk z2 is 5 inches

My camera firmware is fucked. How do I fix it?

>>58175406
Did you try a factory reset?

>>58175423
I tried factory reset, wipe, flashing different firmwares via recovery, flashing stock via Odin. There is zero information out on this issue too.

>>58175426
Did you try a custom rom?

>>58175438
I tried a bunch of them, some based on stock TW, some not.

What's a good screen recorder for android 4.4?

Got a new phone, LG Tribute HD through Boost Mobile poorfag plan but hey I don't ever use phones.

>>58157534
Normies think that only Samsung phones have android.

>>58175225
Redmi 3/4[A]. Takes microSD & is cheap.

Other Chinese smartphones will also do well.

>>58175219
Lenovo P2

Is it too late to get an iPhone SE? It's been out for 8 months now and it doesn't look like Apple is very fond of it. Will it last me two years?

>>58176159
I mean my brother was wondering why I got my mom a smartphone from bq (spanish company) which offers clean android with no bloat at all instead of a samsung galaxy a5 or something like that.

I have an Xperia Z3C running CM 12.1 with Xposed and microg that I've been using for 2 years now, but the camera sucks bad and the XDA community seems to have died down, so I'm looking for a new phone.

~5in display, good picture quality, and most importantly great AOSP support.
The Nexus 5X would be a no-brainer if there weren't the bootloop issue and it's age, and Google curbstomped the Nexus brand.
Would it be reasonable to get the Pixel for Developer support, even at it's current pricetag?
Is there any 'unofficial heir' to Nexus kind of phone or line that developers favor now?

>>58176838
op3 is the unofficial heir right now. There were rumors that axon was thinking about filling that gap and nokia is reported to launch two devices this year "in close partnership" with google so maybe their line will be the nexus line.

>>58162826
i'm just coming off a Nexus 5X and the camera is insanely good on that phone (same camera on the 6P)

both might have issues with bootloops at the moment, so maybe a Pixel

my 5X photos always came out better than my gf's iphone 6's ones

Anyone have experience with shipping from OnePlus store? If they say ships within 3 weeks does it most likely mean 3 weeks, or is there much chance for faster shipping?

The OnePlus 3T looks amazing, BUT, is it a worthy upgrade compared to my current Note 4?
I think it might be, but my main scare is that it's only a 1080p display, as opposed to this 1440p. After reading about tests made specifically on smartphones, it's a noticable difference. But maybe the performance boost and newer OS and all that will be better?

Some thoughts
>I can afford it
>I do light smartphone gaming, such as Bloons TD5 or emulating Pokemon HGSS currently
>I take photos occasionally; weekly but not daily
>I listen to music almost all of my freetime
>I rarely watch shows/series/movies on my phone; I already have a good TV for that
>I feel that my Note 4 runs out of battery too easily, for instance it goes from 100% to dead in just a couple of hours of playing Bloons, and it gets really choppy in some games such as high rounds (70+) on Bloons, PoGo (if I were to play that again)
>I lost the Note 4 touch-pen a long time ago and never felt that it was missing

make new bread

>>58177069
I ordered a 3t 3 weeks ago and it got here 2 weeks earlier than the estimate
