Literally me right in this fucking moment, I want to root my phone so bad but I get scared everytime I see the (30 or more) instructions on the xda forum because I don't have the money to buy another one if I fuck it up in the middle of the process.
And it doesn't help seeing all these "I got error on x part, boot loop etc" being responded with "what version of twrp you installed? Do you installed the right drivers for the adb process?".
God why can't things be more simple like when you installed .nth themes on your nokia feature phone?

SHOULD I GET A ONEPLUS 3T OR WAIT

I HAVE NO PHONE RIGHT NOW REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>58594308
I'm this close to ordering one. No point in waiting any longer for me, there's always going to be a better phone six months down the line so whatever

I hate these op's stop it

>>58594308

my oneplus one just fucking karked it last night, top half of the screen is unresponsive, so i need to get a new fucking phone reeeeee, considering the 3t

>Paying money for a bootloop device

Why do people defend LG or even promote interest in their devices in these threads?

The only phone even worth buying of theirs is the V20 and who knows if that will become susceptible to bootloops in a few months or not.

Would I have better battery life using a Note 5 ROM on the Note 4 than just sticking with the Note 4 ROM?

(It'd be debloated in either case.)

Reposting because new thread:

i have a bunch of phones lying around, is there anything cool i can do with them? I'm not great with smartphone software.

>2 motorola droids (the first one)
>1 droid bionic
>1 galaxy S5 with a broken screen
>1 xperia Z3V that crashes after a few minutes

I feel like throwing them away would be a waste.

>>58594308
It is the most perfect smartphone right now in existence.

>>58594601
Just sell them on Craigslist / eBay. You might not get a lot of money but at least they go to good use.

>>58594601
you can use an old one to take pics of your current EDC :^)

Tbh all your phones are too shit to use for anything really, I wouldn't really feel bad about throwing away (actually just sell them on craigslist or something desu). Unfortunately the s5s screen is too expensive to replace.

>>58594601
I'm interested in buying the S5. How much would you be willing to sell it for?

>>58594768
the thing about the S5 is that the screen broke but it still is fully functional, but I still have a lot of pictures in it that I hadn't backed up to SD card yet and I had a screen lock so I can't get any of them out with repair tools. It's just kinda been in limbo ever since because I would like to get those pictures back but don't know how to repair it.

Once I get my data off, I'd probably let it go for under whatever the normal asking rate is.

>>58594808
Is it just a cracked screen? How bad is the damage?

>>58594808
Do you mean the screen is working but touch isn't?

ZUK Z2 for $200


If I want a 820 Snapdragon is this the best I can do?

Fuck it, if I order the OP3T now, and it turns out that the LG G6 is a superb device, I know I am gonna flip the tables.

>>58594839
>>58594848
the display is out. screen is black and touch doesn't work, the glass isnt broken but its cracked underneath. But it boots up, and hitting the volume buttons changes the volume and the home button works. if only the S5 had a fingerprint sensor, I wouldn't be in this mess.

>>58594294

>>58594895
>LG device

okie dokies

>>58594863
White colour ZUK Z2 is $163 at banggood with the coupon ZUKZ2NEW.

>>58594808
>>58594897
What's stopping you from just connecting it to your PC and copying everything over? Another option is to connect the phone to a external display with a MHL cable and use a Bluetooth mouse to navigate

>>58594958
For that price the z2 is really tempting, but everyone here says it has bad software and no rom support.

>>58595138
I"m leaning toward the more expensive Xiaomi mi 5, looks like that has Lineage OS already

Do I buy the ZTE Axon 7 now, or hold off for the MG5 plus when it comes out?

Poweramp's notification disappears after I pause my song. Can I fix this shit or will I have to install blackplayer?

Do custom roms that are compatible with fingerprint scanners retain the functionality of the roms such as MIUI, where you unlock the phone with the fingerprint scanner?

>>58595261
>willingly giving the NSA your fingerprints to store in the fbi's database
You deserve what's coming to you.

>>58595186
Axon is faster and has bigger screen

>>58595186
They're both going to be around the same price, but the axon 7 will still have more features. On the other hand, the mg5p will probably have a better OS.

It'll really come down to if that nougat update fixes the bugs in the a7. If so, that's probably what i'll be getting.

My Nexus 5x shit the bed after 9 months, LG can go fuck themselves. Should I get a OP3T? How reliable are Oneplus phones? I need something that will last a year or two at least.

No it's not worth it. No midrange phone should cost more than 300. Get a Honor 6x instead. The Moto Z is a gimmick phone with the main selling point being some stupid mods that you wont ever buy or use anyway

What's the /spg/ approved e-mail client?

I fucked up, /g/.

I bought this fucking stupid HTC10 and it lags. It skips while playing music (which is all i do the entire fucking day).

I am really, really mad.

>>58596367
Not even my shitty Galaxy J1 skips music anon, you are doing something wrong.

>>58596502
Any idea what that could be?

>>58596571
Maybe your music player? I have no idea

whats wrong withe the LG G5 other than it being kind of ugly? Lots of reviews say its kinda bad but for pretty dumb reasons

>>58596231
>>58596316
It has great battery and display though, the apex of all motorola phones so far imo, but yeah $330 is too much for a phone like that, you could get a $120 chinkphone with the exact same specs and bigger battery but no amoled, here in my shit third world country that phone is currently going for 6599 monies brand new at the AT&T store and walmart (305 freedom tickets more or less) bundled with some bluetooth earbuds but it's carrier locked.

>>58596619
I use Poweramp. I've used it with 3 other phones (S4, MotoX II, and Nexus5).

Idk ill see if someone else has this problem

>>58596627
Bad soldering leads to bootloops eventually

>>58596760
Yeah, I too use Poweramp, so that's propably not the problem... Are you on beta v3?

>>58596782
>beta
alpha I meant

>>58596793
No, it's the 2.0.10 Full

Is that what you are talking about?...

What Xperia phone is worth buying

>>58596833
XZ or Z3C, there are no other options.

>>58596812
You can get the alpha v3, It's probably more compatible to newer Android versions. The new features are pretty good too.
http://forum.powerampapp.com/index.php?/topic/8494-poweramp-alpha-build-700/

>>58596833
Xperia X and X compact are pretty nice

>>58596833
>>58596862
I have a Z3C and it isn't worth it, it is fucking shit, the camera was supposed to be good, but it is really mediocre(not that I take many photos anyway), but what really makes it not worth it is that the touchscreen just dies on the top part of the phone for no reason.
Mine died there and 3 others from people I know personally also had the same issue.

Have they fixed the boot loop issue?

Any other phones comparable to this that can be bought second hand for around $200?

>>58597584
Sorta. If you have the problem, send it in, they will fix it for free. Mine was just outside of warranty and they fixed it anyhow. It does however still have the half-screen noise issue which is lame.

>>58594294
I flashed an international firmware on my Nokia phone 10 years ago to remove the TMO branding shit. I didn't know what the fuck I was doing (probably more underage than you) and it was 10x easier to brick it and 20x harder. I still fucking did it though.

They literally spoon feed you the shit on XDA now, so get good and grow a backbone.

Axom Z or Moto G 4 Plus?

>>58597595
Sucks. Is it still a good phone though? What should I get instead?

>>58596833
I love my Z2 but the line seems to be going to shit with each new release, I'd say try to find a Z3 or Z3C for cheap rather than paying full prices for the newer ones.

I considered getting an X compact or XZ but I'm not too impressed with either.

So i live in mexico and walmart is going crazy with their discounts (i snatched a 40" FHD samsung tv for slightly less than half its normal price, and it was already crazy cheap so go figure) because of the whole gas fiasco and riots we had here a few weeks ago, and i just saw they also have several "good" phones on sale, which are as follows:


Xperia Z5, 185 dollars (3999 MXN).

Nexus 5X 32GB, 194 dollars (4185 MXN).

Moto G2, 58 dollars (1271 MXN).

Moto X Force, 277 dollars (5999 MXN).

And a samsung gear VR for 45 dollars (999 MXN).


Are any of these phones a good deal? I'm mainly interested in the Moto G2 for a super cheap decent phone i can give to my dad when his birthday comes (he has some POS lumia phone, its either this or a samsung tablet) and in the Nexus 5X because this phone has a fuckton of third party support for some reason (official and unnoficial builds of just about every rom out there, multirom, copperhead OS) and there is a way to run daydream in it with root and some editing, and i really want miku to virtually suck my penis no matter how laggy and pixelated it looks.

I really can't fathom why anyone would spend more than 6000 MXN on a phone and all these go for less than that, my current phone, a G4 Play, is good and all but these offers are absurd, last i checked the 5X was 9000 MXN carrier locked and it was only in white and the 16 GB version.

>>58596231
Great deal. I may buy one

I’m planning to buy the Redmi 4 Prime since it’s cheap (praise the chinkphones). What should I know about it beforehand? I already know I’m gonna mildly despise MIUI so that’s out of the way

>>58596367
Probably faulty device, mine hasn't had a problem

>>58595059
mentioned the fingerprint scanner, forgot to mention that I had it password protected so I cant get into it without that.

did not think of a bluetooth mouse, but I'd need a way to unlock the phone the pair the mouse and since it's locked already im fucked basically.

I'm amazed by it. Awesome budget phone. Camera's not the greatest but it's liveable. Call quality is great. Screen is 5.5 inches and I love it. Display is colorful and bright. Viewing angles are just awesome. Speaker is placed on the side which is not bad at all.

The problem with the mi5 is that it has no LTE support for bands in the Americas (as in the entire continent, not just the US) so you are stuck with old slow 3G

So I need a new phone, but I'm going travelling around Australia in a month and I plan to be in the desert for a while, and avoiding data roaming.

I hear one plus 3 has a poor battery life, especially when in airplane mode.

It's that or an s7

What do you guys recommend?

Other option is changing carriers and getting a pixel- is it worth the hassle?

>>58600236
Great. I'm actually in the market to get a J7 Prime. I also heard the battery's great too. Enjoy your purchase.

Switching to T-Mobile but can only afford to finance a phone right now due to other expenses. Tired of Android, after nearly a decade of using it exclusively and the W10 Idol 4S and iPhone SE are what's in my price range for non-Android.

Ignoring the W10 app gap, since all of the apps I commonly use are available on W10, which is the better choice? I've played with my fiancée's iPhone 6, and afaik the SE is just the 6 in the 5's clothes... But is there any major feature of iOS or W10 that really sets them apart and makes one or the other a clear winner?

>>58601522
I'd go for Nova Plus, the 625 can be seen as similar in CPU performance to the Kirin 650, also has a better GPU, the 625 is more power efficent then the Kirin for better battery, also has a bigger battery in general.

Nova has a type c connector if you care, no idea about the cameras on each though.

Thats just from looking at the specs

I bought a Huawei Nexus 6p for myself on Christmas Eve. Very happy with the phone, although I'm disappointed in myself for putting a bulky case (Poetic Revolution) on it, even though I'm paying an extra monthly fee for device protection. If I didn't bring it with me to work (gas station) on weekends I'd be bored out of my mind, otherwise I would feel safe being caseless at school.

Case actually detracts from the phone. In portrait, it is difficult to use sliders which come near the screen edge because of the raised edge. You couldn't reach 0:00, for instance. In portrait, the same raised edge on the screen makes it might impossible to bring down the Sys Menu and Notification tray.
I pray that my carrier honors their device protection plan, god help me.

Okay I need a new phone, and not a Motorola, fuck this shit

>>58605095
I got one a month ago and I have nothing bad to say about it.

After a workday I have around 70-80% of battery left.
Screen is good, performance is great.

I don't have heating problems but then again I the only game I had on there was some simple puzzle game.

I do have a case around it and it doesn't feel fragile to me. Feels like my old Xperia SP and I used that one for couple years, including a year I did construction work.

Quickcharge support is missing I think, but I normally charge it overnight from my PC.

As for software, I'm using the official Indian ROM, cause the Chinese one seemed too much of a hassle.

It gets OTA updates and Google services were working from the start.

The only bad side for me could potentially be the lack of B20, cause a lot of carriers here in Europe use it for LTE, but I still seems to have LTE everywhere where others get it.

>>58606334

You can just not use them you know, pattern unlock and use the fingerprint to launch the camera and some other app with a tap or long press, custom roms let you do this.

Any good replacement text-to-speech engines for Japanese on android? I've tuned google's to make it sound more like my animes but I need something a bit better. It doesn't have to be maki tier but is there at least something better than google's?

Hey Guiz. I have an SIII.

What can I do to make it work again? It used to have Cyonogen mod, but it blew chunks on that phone, and was super buggy.

What can I install on it that's modern, and maybe android 6.0 equivalent?

>>58606818
ayy

Download clover/mimi next time bitchboi

>>58607430
Resurrection remix, check xda, you have an official build of it and those guys optimize the shit out of the rom to fit your phone perfectly with no lag and improved battery life, just make sure you turn off auto-sync (unless you use for gmail or something) and GPS location.

Just ordered an umi z, how bad did I fuck up?

>>58607674
I just installed SlimRoms. Does it not have GooglePlay? How do I load anything on this?

thoughts on Huawei Mate 9 Unlocked?

Im ditching my samsung S6...

I'm on t-mobile USA

>>58607910
You have to download the google apps separately and flash those as well, go to open gapps and download the ones according the your rom and device (ie ARM 6.0, x86 7.1, ARM64 5.1) iirc the galaxy SIII is ARM, doublecheck anyways because flashing the wrong gapps can lead to a softbrick.

>>58607983
ok, do I go back to recovery mode, and load up that download?

stats on LineageOS usage
https://stats.lineageos.org

Interesting to see Xiaomi Mi5 be the second most popular phone to install LineageOS on. Other than that top15 is mainly Oneplus, Samsung and Moto G phones.

Here you can see what phone each device name is
https://download.cyanogenmod.org

>>58608006
ok, this appears to be the method.

first time doing this, so bare with me. learning as I go along

Another quick question:

how do I load up a custom rom on a phone that doesnt have a SD card? Do you plug in a thumb drive, or do you place the zip on the internal storage after wiping?

>>58607738
Should have just bought a Xiaomi, software support for that thing is going to be outdated from the box and never updated

>>58608006
>>58608065
Yeah but since you already booted for the first time i'd suggest doing a full wipe and reinstall everything (go to wipe, advanced, tick internal storage, cache, system and dalvik cache) don't wipe internal storage if you have the rom and gapps there, don't ever wipe external storage/SD, if you're on TWRP you can choose multiple ZIPs to flash together and then reboot.

>>58608130
Multiple ways, either via adb (kind of confusing), OTG or just put the rom and gapps in the phone's internal storage and don't wipe it when TWRP asks you to, tick off that box and wipe everything else (cache, dalvik cache, system).

This is why i don't buy phones without an sd slot no matter how good they are, it's far more convenient to have all your data on one and never worry about random bootloops.

>>58607674
Their download page is down, so it redirects to another site that just has every rom listed, but I cant find the one I need for the SIII
I have the tmobile version which is T999, but they only have the international version I9300

Can I try that without bricking it?

>>58608253
Of course not, you'll get a softbrick and i doubt you'll be able to reflash the stock rom via odin and adb then unlock bootloader and root all over again if you can't install a simple rom.

>>58608251
well I was thinking of playing with my Nexus, but since it has a very stock android, I dont really need a rom. unless I wanna give 7.1 a try, which I dont really care for.
>>58608208
Thanks, I loaded up SlimRom, and the basic Gapp google play app so I can load up exactly what I need.

I'm playing around with it now, so I'll end up starting fresh anyway once I know exactly what I want.

>>58608281
*brick i mean, softbrick is way easier to un-fuck.

>>58608253
Yeah try it out mang! :)

>>58608130
Step 1: delete ur existence
Step 2: ???
Step 3: success

Literally WHAT the fuck is up with these questions that are too stupid for even the stupid general.

I am about to buy OP3T. Anyone know good resources how to make secure?

>>58608299
Which Nexus? 'cause the 4, 5 and 5X have a god tier nougat rom called pure nexus which is fuckloads better than any other one.

Oh and if you're the guy with the tmobile SIII i'd suggest staying with that rom since it booted properly and not messing with another one or you'll risk a brick.

>>58608333
It's android, impossible.
You should be fine though as long as you don't unlock the bootloader, or install weird apps.

>>58608362

>>58608313
:(

>>58608333
>>58608370
Ignore this retard, Xprivacy and reflash without gapps, the OP3T has insane third party support, find the rom you like and stick with that one, F-droid for freetard alternatives to google shit and APKtrack+microG if you just can't let go of them or can't find a substitute for it.

>>58608375
https://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/rom-pure-nexus-substratum-t3477787

GOAT rom imo, i wish someone did a port of it to any of my devices (S5, HTC10, G4 Play, RN3P) but it seems limited to nexus and the pixlel.

Who is excited for the S8?

>>58608208
>>58608251
>don't wipe internal storage
I once managed to do exactly that. Was installing a new custom ROM and wiped everything, including the internal storage where the rom and gapps zips were. So I had a phone with no OS to boot into and nothing to install on it either. Was pretty easy to fix though, IIRC I just used the adb "push" command to move the files back on the phone.

Are there any good small phones that are the size of a galaxy s4 mini or smaller? Seems like phones that size that have come out in the past 2 years have specs of 5+ year old phones.

>>58608370
>>58608424
Thanks anon

>>58608481
Thanks, I'll mess around with it sometimes.

What would you recommend for an SIII T999 model?

Right now I am playing around with SlimRom, but if there is a better one out, I'll test it.

This is just to test things out, this phone is gonna be a dedicated OBD2 readout for my car when my BD dongle arrives.

On Android side the closest you're going to get is Sony Xperia Z5 Compact or X Compact. Anything smaller has ultra low budget specs like you said.

https://www.amazon.com/Honor-5X-Metal-Unlocked-Smartphone/dp/B019O8YWR0/?tag=lb_ars-20

Does it have good custom rom support?

>>58593891 here's a pretty tasty clip about phones

>>58608646
The S5 was my first smartphone and it's still in good condition to this day, the HTC10 because of 2016 flagship specs, perfect size and best audio out of any smartphone (and probably the last good phone HTC made), the RN3P because i got memed into buying one alongside a 128GB shark for an anime/manga phablet and the G4 Play because i always wanted a moto phone and it seemed like the most solid of the G4 family (no overheating, 5", solid battery and display, removable battery).

>>58608801
I'm about to fall for the RNP3 meme.
What are your thoughts on it?

I kind of miss feature phones

>>58608896
It's great for what i use it (big phone with big battery and capacitive buttons so on-screen ones don't take up a tenth of the screen to read manga and watch anime on at work, with surprisingly good specs and made of metal despite costing a mere 160 dollars), the sound via speakers is meh though, not that i'd blast my autism at max volume on it without earbuds but just a warning in case you do, just make sure you get the 3/32 "prime" version and flash an AOSP rom on it because mine came with a web browser and messaging app that needed access to a lot of things and my email in order to use them.

Get it in black if you can, the screen has black borders around it and this way you don't notice them, check the bands because i can't get 4G on mine without going with a shit carrier but it's ok becase i don't even have a sim card inserted in it, i treat it more like an old mp4 player i had than a phone.

>>58606086 or make a free home security system, refer to the link
https://youtu.be/lmSC0kN_0MU

>>58608793
Yeah it is, 200 for a phone like that is a good deal.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development

You have around 35 roms and a few kernels, be glad your Honor chinkphone came with snapdragon soc instead of a kirin or mediatek one, those almost never get roms.

>>58608778
By size you mean you want a big or small phone? Moto Z Play seems like the right phone for you, it's just kind of overpriced on most places.

>>58608595
Slim is ok, but if there's a build of resurrectionremix for it try it, you'll be surprised how much better it is.

>>58609232
Small phone. The Moto Z Play looks great but $400 is seriously pushing it. Is there a shittier version? I don't need an 8-core processor or 1080p display.

>>58608424
>flashing
>wanting to be secure
LMAOOOOOOO
Go back to /r/eddit fag

>>58609369
Actually there is but it's a chinkphone and it might not work with your carrier, the Redmi 4 Prime has the exact same specs but it's a bit smaller (5"), has a bigger battery and costs way less.

ok, how the hell do I remove the gapps from my rom? I installed one earlier, but now I am trying a different rom, and even thoug I wipe everything, everytime boot it up for the first time it includes all those apps

>>58609561
Don't flash them? Some roms have them already installed though, maybe it's that.

>>58609443
That's gotten me a bunch of stuff to look into whether the Redmi 4 Prime works or not. Thanks a million m8.

>>58609587
no, I installed slim, and then the gapp, and i went and did a factory wipe, but slim is still installed.

i cant find a way to remove that rom via the bootloader

Alright so now that i've finally rooted my phone and put Adaway, Minminguard and no youtube ads via xposed i have no more need for DNS66 and Firefox+Ublockorigin to block ads, so which browser is the absolute best?

>>58609675
Ah i understand, your phone was a Galaxy SIII right? Put your rom and gapps on an SD card and wipe absolutely everything on the phone (tick every single choice but external storage and OTG), then reinstall only the rom.

I don't understand how you managed to unlock the bootloader but can't install a simple rom, like holy shit man.

>>58609735
I did that. I loaded up the ClockworkMod 6.0.4.5 recovery, wiped free space, did a factory restore, cleared cache, cleared everything else I see, and every time I restart it keeps going back to Slim.

>>58609755
>CWM

Dude what the fuck, that recovery is mainly for mediatek devices and installing cyanogenmod, but anyways.

Boot into recovery, go to mounts and storage, wipe data, system and cache there, then reinstall.

>>58609800
the instructions to install SlimRom said to use ClockworkMod, and since I had CynogenMod before on this phone, CWM was already there.

Anyway, I did all this here, and its still booting to Slim

Something with a keyboard, android, and excellent battery life. What has all that?

>>58609908
What were you trying to do, again? Maybe you're using the SD card as the "main" storage and it's booting from there, if you have an sd adapter backup everything important you have there, format, put only the rom you want to install and try again.

>>58609923
Blackberry priv but it's expensive, outdated and the battery life is just average.

>>58609908
ok, 5th time was the charm. something was fucking up cause after doing all that again for the 3rd time it finally removed everything, and I was able to load up a new ROM.

>>58609957
Thank fuck, consider installing TWRP instead, there is no rom that can't be installed with it, the Slimrom guy recommends CWM because it's what he uses and it's more user friendly.

>>58609923
Wait for blackberry mercury

DF, but they should apply to the entire country, i've found the Nexus 5X and Xperia Z5 in several walmarts and they still have quite a few of them for sale, the G2 is already out of stock unfortunately, i should have bought one when i had the chance.

And by the way i found out that the Snapdragon 810 chipset was aparently faulty (it overheated like nothing else) so the Xperia Z5 is a bad purchase despite the price, while the 5X has bootlooping issues and the lack of SD slot killed the phone for me anyway.

Google promodescuentos, that's where i snipe cheap things like my 3500 MXN samsung TV, my 4500 MXN PS4 bundled with a soccer game and a 32 GB sony sd card for 150 MXN.

>>58612363
Overpriced and shitty, just like an iphone.

Specs are only a marginal improvement over a flagship of the same year half its price yet it comes with more downsides than said phones, mainly lack of SD slot, jewgle bloat up the ass, merely "okay" audio and a few hardware issues, unnaceptable for a phone that starts at 800 dollars for the 32GB version and advertised as a "just works" device, namely the permanent lens flare of the back camera and the speakers crackling if playing something at max volume, both which have been officially acknowledged by google by the way, look it up.

Any help here? I'm sure some of you would like to tap to unlock on a phone that doesn't support it.

Where did all the programmers go?

>>58619169
I think having the mic always listening would use a lot of battery.

If anyone is interested in joining google fi here is a reference code for 20 dollars off. WDA43A

>>58619213
Then how do we go about it? Shake to unlock like eyephones?

>>58612229
look for one in the automate community/forum thing, i'm sure someone has already created one
or if there isn't one and you don't want to create one, look for a premade tasker one

>>58619435
>and you don't want to create one,
It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't know how. I tried last night(first time using automate) but it got to the point where you had to put in variable db lvls. I'm not a sound engineer I don't know what db lvls tapping on a screen would be, much less how to make it listen for 3 taps.

I don't know wtf I was doing.

>>58619542
Ok so what is your actual goal in a simple statement. Like what is it you're trying to accomplish? Turn the screen on when you tap on it 3 times and then mute the mic?

>>58617332
RN3P or ZUK Z2

Exactly what it says here >>58612229 in the flow chart

So the jailbreak on my 6s died and I've decided that it's given me enough grief.

>Carrier
T-Mobile Croatia (800/1800MHz I think but I usually just turn off 4G)
>Budget
Up to $1000
>Wants and needs
- Under 70mm wide so not over 5.1-2"
- 3.5mm jack on the bottom
- USB-C and waterproofing would be very nice
- Good camera with manual controls, RAW would also be nice
- Quality DAC with loud 3.5mm output
- Good speakers are a plus
- Flagship performance isn't needed, an SD625 would be enough
- Over 70h gsmarena endurance
- Well built

I like the Mi5S but the lack of 4G bands would surely annoy me even if I wouldn't use them.

Pic unrelated, look at the post

sorry for delay had class and food shopping to do since new semester. also i'd say android aesthetic.

>>58617927

>>58620920

I got my OP3T today. My phone was at the wrong store so they threw in a free protective case which was nice. Will take some time to adjust to the size of this thing, my previous phone is an old Lumia with like a 3.7 inch screen. Seems like a nice phone though

I was actually planning on buying pic related, but its only powered by USB. Would it be ok to plug into a wall outlet or should I get a specifically powered hub with an ac adapter?

>>58599990
Huawei Honor 8, cheap and shit

Is there any reason I shouldn't buy a Samsung Galaxy S7? Coverage isn't an issue.

anyone using an Honor 6x?

>>58621188
You'll get used to it.
Your fingers should also get stronger leading you to better fingerbanging sessions with your future gf.

So I heard from a friend that a new Motorola is coming out next month that uses usb-c, has 1440p, and has some new hardware feature that supports 256gb micro sd cards. He didn't give me a name so I wasn't sure how to find it, so I figured this'd be a good place to ask. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

>>58622895
Probably the 2017 version of the Moto Z

Touchwiz

My shitty Vodafone 890N is practically unusable and I need a new phone.
>Carrier
EE preferably
>Budget
£500-600
>Wants and needs
At least 32GB internal storage
3.5mm jack preferably on the top
Waterproofing would be nice. My hands get really sweaty.
Good camera
Good DAC since I mostly use it to listen to music
Speakers aren't an issue
Durable
4GB RAM preferably

I was thinking of getting a Galaxy S7 but I probably shouldn't because of Samsung's reputation.

Forgot to mention that I want something easily rooted so I can rice the shit out of it and delete any useless apps.

I'm new to Android in general, though I'm not so tech-illiterate that I don't want to root my new phone. Where the hell do I find legitimate instructions for rooting? XDE? Botnet searches lead me to things like srsroot and kingo but they seem shady like using their "one click root" options would not only not work but install malware.

I've tried searching for my phone make & model (LGE LGL52VL; android 5.1.1 LMY47V) but, as is the nature of search engines, I get really outdated information.

I don't want any spoonfeeding or handholding but if I could simply get pointed in the right direction I believe I could figure things out from there.

>>58622595
I remember when I got the Lumia, coming from a small feature phone. It felt huge. Now it seems tiny

>>58618616

Fuck no

>making a phone below 5 inches

Sure
