/spg/ - Smartphone General

Just caught the tail end of the last thread, so reposting.

Do you think I'd be able to get a good deal on Galaxy S7 when the S8 comes out? Is that how cellphones usually work?

I have a moto x play right now but I'm not super happy with it.

>>58846539
Used, yes.

choose between Oppo,Huawei and Xiaomeme?

>>58846585
Huawei if you don't care for interface. Xiaomi if the device has solid dev support.

Good call?

this might be /o/, but how does one change bluetooth audio settings to not use gplay by default when connecting to a car? Doesn't show up on my v20 settings and I want to have it maintain its state rather than open something

What are some things certain manufacturers do that you would like others to adopt?

For me it would be notification slider a la Apple and OnePlus, all buttons on one side like Blu and Nokia, and a dedicated camera button also like Nokia.

How do I remove this dumb crap on a ZTE Axon 7...

>>58850466
>Removing a feature

I want to root my phone but I don't get how I should do it

There is dozens of different ways to root it depending of the firmware and most says that trying it on a different firmware will result in a bootloop

that and I can't find the correct android update to downgrade my phone

The process seems far easier thant cracking the 3ds yet it's more bothersome somehow

Hello. How can I know if a Samsung Galaxy s7 is fake? Planning to buy one since its one of the few phones with a ip68 rating, fingerprint sensor and good battery life.

>The special edition merely offers a cosmetic change and a special accessory package. Underthe hood, it is the same Redmi Note 4, we are already familiar with.

>Frankly, if you are that into Hatsune Miku, chances are you are going to enjoy a Redmi Note 4 in one of the two new unique colors - Hatsune Green and Cherry Pink, complete with a signature on the back. You also get a stylized package, a printed protective case and limited edition Mi Power bank.

>As already mentioned, the internals are exactly the same as on the international Redmi Note 4, which does make us wonder why Xiaomi felt the need for an "X" branding, along with the special edition description. This also brings about some additional confusion, since a higher-end Redmi Note 4X has been passing by the rumor mill as well.

>We are not exactly sure if this excludes the announcement of a more powerful Redmi Note 4X version in the future, but this special edition come with a 5.5-inch, FullHD panel, Snapdragon 625 SoC, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage. You also get a 13MP, plus 5MP camera setup, fingerprint reader and a 4100 mAh battery.

Anyone have the GPD XD (android tablet with a clamshell build with great hardware controls)?
Keep getting back into old games on my phone before giving up due to awful onscreen controls and thinking a designated portable emulation box is the next step up, especially seeing that it has great battery life and I fly very often.
Sure, it's just a toy like most tablets but seems to be a rewarding toy.

>>58851087
I took a look on my device forum and I might me able to do something
I'll see when I get home

>>58847365
I use an older version of the official app, with the background player and Adaway repos from Xposed, and it's perfect

>>58851105
I don't have one, but I've got a hacked psp and I've heard that the GPD have a bit more power so they can run dreamcast and N64 emulators better.
Been considering one, but the Vita just got hacked not too long ago, so I'm kinda waiting to see what kind of CFW starts dropping, and if someone is able to make a vita emulator for another platform like the GPD.

My ZTE Supreme has finally lost it. Some parts of the screen no longer respond to touch, and that includes the home button, which means if I want to close an app, I actually have to turn the phone off, and start it again.

Should I buy the Oneplus 3T when the 128 gets stocked again or should I wait for the Oneplus 5?

Just flashed unofficial LineageOS because I'm impatient and it keeps restarting when I open QuickPic, anyone know why this is?

>>58851722
If it gets stocked again before May, then yes. If not, wait for the 5 because by the time they ship out the 3T (if it gets restocked in may or whatever), they probably would have already announced the 5.

>>58850944
I would get it for the charger and that blue tint honestly it's really cute.

>>58851722
Oneplus 5 launch is still months away (probably around June/July)

>>58851722
I'm waiting for the 5. Sure my phone is seriously slow right now (due to always buying budget phones instead of mid-range) but upgrading when the 5 is out will be grand. Then I can keep to my promise of only updating once every two years, regarding this piece of shit I'm using.

>>58851850
Well it's not a guarantee the 5 will be amazing. It can easily be a dud. Have you chosen a backup plan if that is the case?

>>58851857
If it's a dud like the oneplus 2, I'll pick up a cheap 3t or anything else that seems good around the time. Anything would be an upgrade over this phone so I'm sure I'll be impressed.
Could also keep using this til it finally falls apart.

My Moto G4 won't turbo charge anymore. I bought OEM from Amazon but it still won't charge fast

What else could be the reason why?

>>58852829
It's mediocre. Why bother when you can just get an iPhone for the same price.

>>58853055
turbo charge works per %
meaning it doesn't charge fast at like 70% or something
but if you're at like 10%, then it charges fast up until something above 50%

>>58853113
Took 6 hours to charge from 50%. Is this acceptable?

>>58853113
And 2-3 hours from 60% for my 2nd try

>>58853138
>>58853119
Return that piece of shit phone and buy a xiaomi

>>58853119
>>58853138
You have to do more tests, twice doesn't really give you enough information.
So do more tests, and time them. Do separate tests, one from 10%-50%, and then others from 50%-100%. The one from 10%-50% should always be faster. But again, you'll have to keep everything else the exact same (ie charging from your desktop computer or an outlet, don't change, also try not to use your phone while charging but keep it on). Actually time them.

From there you'll be able to tell if there's a problem with the charging. Or you can just skip all of this, talk to moto support and get a replacement or something of that nature.

Someone educate me on flashing roms. So if I flash a rom on my phone do I have to delete the one that was already on there, or is it lost forever after flashing?

>>58856026
How did you get it free?

>>58856154
Before you flash a ROM you do a wipe which deletes the previous ROM off the phone. If you want to flash the old ROM back you need to do a nandroid backup beforehand or download the ROM off the internet.

Looking for a new phone for around 200-300 €. Don't care if it's chink but should be 5.2 inch max so it fits into my pocket.

Any recommendations?

>>58858242

So how much do you guys think this phone will cost? I've always wanted a xiaomi if only for the /g/ meme but i always fall for the motorola and samsung jew.

If that powebank is the famous 10k xiaomi one you guys also shill then i'm willing to pay up to 350 dollars for it considering the international RN4+10.000 mAh powerbank costs less than that.

It ain't even a bad purchase meant to trick dumb weeaboos since i was looking at the Moto G5 Plus which apparently packs more or less the same internals (sans stock android and camera) but with a much bigger battery and prettier design, anime girl notwithstanding, it also seems to be a huge tyrone/women repellent which is a huge plus for me.

Thanks dude.

If I go from the LG G4 to the Google Pixel, how much better will my life be in terms of battery life? I'm tired of getting to 35-50% on 3 hours of screentime

>>58859328
Maybe you have a wakelock, did you install any apps recently? Are any of those social media related? Does your phone get poor signal on your room/wherever you let it rest at night? Because just installing facebook and twitter then letting them stay in the recent apps screen drains a shitload of battery idle, and even if you close them they're always constantly updating.

>>58861085
No improvement at all, the G4 is a 1440p phone with 3000 mAh battery and the pixlel is 1080p with 2700 mAh but AMOLED screens drain more battery than LCD unless you keep your homescreen and app interfaces all black, google botnet is also always syncing so that's another battery drain.

Keep in mind you're going from a phone famous for bootlooping like crazy to one famous for being overpriced and having faulty hardware (camera lens flare, crackling speakers).

Consider either the OP3T or the HTC10, the only flagships worth buying, or if you don't mind a little cancer the Galaxy S7 Edge.

>>58861316
I was hoping that wasn't the case. OP3T is too big for my tastes, I'll look into the HTC10

Why not just go Koodo? They have a $65 plan right now. Unlimited talk and text Canada wide and 4gb of LTE data. Isn't public on Telus or is it Rogers? This is an Ontario plan though.

Do better android phones have much better touch sensors? My 2015 Moto G is much worse to type on than my old iPhone 4.

Dunno if this is the best place to ask, but I figured mobile tech would fit here well enough.

Anyone have any experience/willing to share their experience with Surfaces? Was hoping to grab something for school and was thinking of this vs a Thinkpad. Partner for a project was using one and it just seemed better than I thought it was.

is it the sort of thing that you can see? Because I can see little lines covering my screen that look suspiciously like touch sensors.

>>58862104
those are the pixels, your phone has low dpi, no you cant see the touch sensor, look up how they work and where it is located

>>58862131
>those are the pixels, your phone has low dpi,
'no'
they're not lined up with anything on the screen even when it's on.
You seriously think you can see the pixels even at 90dpi?

>>58853694
Thanks! But no official store in my country and no way to buy it online. What do I do after opening the box?

Thanks!

Any feedback about LeEco phones? The Le 2 has very high camera scores in Kimovil, how is it for daily use?

>>58853694
Would you rather buy from a 93% feedback store with 50k sales or a 97% feedback store with 7k sales?

Lol no, Doogee is good

I have not bought the Doogee Shoot but I am already impressed.

>>58862501
They're utter trash; bad build quality, no SD slot, no 3.5mm jack and the most cancerous android skin this side of EMUI, their only redeemable traits are offering flagship specs and good camera for reasonable prices, but the ZUK line of phones offers the same specs for cheaper, and Lenovo is far superior when it comes to build quality (they've been doing the moto G phones since the G3 after all, and those are THE budget phones), Huawei "Honor" and the Mi series of Xiaomi are also kings when it comes to budget cameras.

Leddit keeps the lelele brand popular because of the name and the no jack thing, to support an underdog and "keep up" with apple, nu-males don't need 128GB internal with a 256GB SD card inserted in their phone it to store anime and loli porn after all, only 32 GB for making duck faces at the front camera and filming tyrone fucking their girlfriends.

>>58861955
>Why not just go Koodo? They have a $65 plan right now. Unlimited talk and text Canada wide and 4gb of LTE data. Isn't public on Telus or is it Rogers? This is an Ontario plan though.

Public Mobile is $25 less than that Koodo plan.

$38 for Unlimited province Call, unlimited global text and 2gb LTE data/month.

The only problem I have with the OnePlus 3T is there is no sd card slot. What else would you buy to replace a Samsung s4?

>tfw Zuk Z2 Black will likely never go back on sale

Seems like my choices are limited to Motorola and Sony, but to get one with a "good" camera it goes over $400 at which point I can just buy an iphone and have something that doesn't need the OS to be fucked with.

Also must have LTE 3,7,20 for EU.

How are Windows phones now?

I won a Lumia a while ago and kept it and enjoyed it. Then I got a Nexus 4 and liked Android all over again.

But I kinda miss it every so often, or at least parts of it. How have they progressed? Is it still leagues behind Android or is it ok?

>>58863925

Just in case I need pocket sand...

>>58863993
Windows Phone is gr8 except it has no apps

>>58863661

How much of a difference would there be in the performance in the SD625 vs the SD430 found in the G5 Plus and G5 regular?

>>58846440
Moto G4+ vs Moto X Pure, anyone got any hands on experience with either? I'm grandfathered in on Republic's original plan and would like to stay on it pretty much indefinitely and those two phones are the ones I'm interested in. I had the original 2013 X and loved it so I'm thinking can't go wrong with the x pure, but G4+ looks extremely similar

>>58846440

To those owners of OnePlus 3T phones, what rom/kernel do you recommend for the standard possible increase in battery life and performance that comes from custom roms?

If I don't get chinked, I should have my new phone delivered by the end of the day tomorrow.

>>58863661
Xperia X or x compact (X compact has better camera)

>>58864973
Isn't the helios X10 the same battery devouring monster they put into the Redmi note 2?

If it's don't get it, coupled with the 4k display I doubt that thing will last half a day of usage.

>>58865506

>>58865485

I gave my 1+3t to my sister after seeing how shit it was. Currently using an s7e and much happier. Pixel would have been a fine choice too.

Anything better than chinkshit like 1+. I'd rather pay for quality.

My current phone, Jiayu S3, has a Yamaha YDA165 DTS DAC, which is optimized for use with Dolby ATMOS and Dolby Digital for videos.

What's a good phone that also has the same or better DAC?

Inb4 Viper4Android, no. Hardware optimisation is better than software band-aid.

>>58865506
>>58865509
Battery life isn't as important, she's got a power back and her previous phone was a super laggy SD615 Oppo with 3 hours SoT. It's either that or something like the meizu m5 or something else around that price.


>>58865535
My k6000 pro has a really nice DAC in my experience.

Hey senpaitachi

How important is band 700? The phone I want to get supports LTE bands for my carrier but not band 700. Apparently it'll work but just 700 is used for building penetration.

What do? Find one that supports band700?

>>58862755
Ah okay. Figured I'd mention it because I though public had calling zones. So I guess if you stay in them it would be okay. Koodo is more or less Canada wide like bell and Telus and stuff.

>>58866164
Kinds unnecessary for the vast majority of people though

>>58866205
Yeah. Kinda wish I worked in one place, I remember on Wind I was roaming at my house and stuff. Drove me nuts as I use my cell as my home phone and stuff. I travel all over for work, so I never know if I'd have a signal or be roaming and that. I know Koodo had some cheaper plans for a bit but they've gone back to the regular pricing.

>>58866231
Wind is so shit my dude

I live in my parents basement unironically until I move for work in a couple months and I don't get signal most of the time here. Gonna switch to Public mobile as most seem to recommend it

It's hard to do, you basically need another phone at this point.

Changing the screen, buttons, audio jack, or even any internal is way easier, they sell those everywhere, the S5 body without any internals sans the screen? Nope, they will only sell you

Do chink companies even announce their sub-100$ smartphones, or do they just spontaneously release them to the market through aliexpress.com and whatnot?

just got my xiaomi mi 5s plus... holy moly it's so freaking good. it's like a flagship, reminiscent of an iPhone (in a good way), but less than half the price of an iPhone 7 plus. the display looks amazing and MIUI 8 is super slick.

>>58868429
I don't really have a favourite chink phone brand. I just want to keep an eye on new sub 100 dollar releases.
The sites in the OP seem to focus on somewhat known brands such as Xiaomi.

Fuck off pal.


Anyway, there isn't a single phone and carrier where the OTA nougat update hasn't been a trainwreck; full of bugs, decreased battery life and other random shit, ironically you'd be better off rooting and going with a custom rom unless you dig the touchwizz appearance, there's no real need for moving onto nougat if you're on marshmallow, there's no xposed support and the improved doze mode can be emulated with greenify.

They keep delaying the nougat update for almost all flagships because they can't shit out a non-buggy version, i think only yuropoors got a semi-decent one on the HTC10 and Xperia Z5+.

>>58846440
Is it okay to ask for advice on buying a tablet? I'm in Germany, looking for a tablet for €200 or a little over that. I just care about having a decent camera and the screen size being definitely wider than my old Nexus 7 2013.

what phone should i get in canada under $300?

needs to support lte bands and not have shit camera

>>58876389
Yes.

Don't buy an android tablet, they're trash, shoot for a chinky one that can run W10 instead, it's way, way better, if you still want said android tablet buy a Xiami Mi Max instead, it's 7" and has good specs and camera, no idea about the bands though.

>>58876023
Moto G4 or LG V10

>>58865524
Who gives a shit about the camera. Its good enough. If you care so much about camera quality buy a dedicated camera. No need to have buyers remorse.

>>58876378
>Doesn't like Shiburin
Fuck off homo-NEET. You have worst advices, they are not bugs but rather features. It's not google's fault the manufacturer can't make Nougat work.

>>58876375
I'd suggest backing up everything and getting a cheap replacement phone if only because all the nexus phones starting from the 5 (only the N4 and N6 were safe from this) were shown to have real planned obsolescence, your nexus 6p has several hardware issues only made worse with the nougat update that make it shit itself at low battery (35%), not charge past 80%, overheating and sometimes shutting off at random and never turning back on again, and yes this was officially acknowledged by google.

>>58876430
Thanks for the advice. Don't think I mind using Windows 10. Are there any particular Chinese tablets that can run W10 which you would recommend?

>>58876451

>>58876523
W10 is a tablet os, of course you won't mind it for tablet, it's godly for visual novels and some light gaming like PSP, PS1 and the like.

Cube i9, bluboo and chuwi are some good choices according to /csg/, no idea which specific chuwi tablet though, but bluboo is if you're on a limited budget.

It will, there is no "if", backup everything, buy a RN3P/G4 Play and have your warranty on hand, then go complain and show them how the phone is faulty then guilt trip them into letting you invest the phone's price into another phone, if not then get a new one and swappa that shit and make do with your stopgap phone until a worthwhile 2017 flagship comes out.

These phones started malfunctioning after the pixel got it's first update, they're doing the exact same shit applel does with ios and old iphones: optimizing the software for the newest toy and purposefully breaking the old ones so you go to the store and get the latest one, preferably on a contract and with verizon as your carrier so they cuck extra you hard with paying twice for the phone and the 1GB montly data caps.

I'll never go with another Samsung or Apple phone ever again. The Nexus/Pixel phones have officially supported bootloader unlocks which means they get updates for as long as someone is willing to build new ROMs for them. I'm downloading Lineage OS 14.1 for my Nexus 5 even though Google dropped support at Android 6.0.1. Feels good man. It's running CM 14.1 and it's as fast as the day I bought it. The phone will be useful until the hardware breaks.
