I'm loving my new Moto Z Play. For what I do, it performs just as well as my LG G3, while lasting much longer before having to charge it, as I'm on my third day since I've last charged it.

Hey guys. I found an lg on the ground on the way to work. I want to replace my shitty phone with it.
I tried the typical factory reset on lock screen, which worked. But google wants to sync to the previous owner's and I can't get around it.
Is there a way to reset to actual factory settings?

Old phone was a Nokia Lumia 521 and the one I ordered is a Zenfone 3 Max, with 3GB RAM. I'm 99% sure I'm going to be satisfied with my purchase since the Lumia was beyond shit, with only 512mb RAM and 1GHz dual core cpu, but how is the Zenfone 3?

>>59036510
It's alright, battery life should be pretty great considering it's running under-powered MT6737M with 4100mAh battery.

I'm an Italian here. I was wondering what phone I could get for around 300 euros, at the moment I'm pretty tempted to get a Sony Xperia XA.

>>59036602
No, XA is trash.
Xperia X is alright.
Zuk Z2 Pro or Mi5s are much better than both.

I couldn't even get in the phone to attempt returning it as it was locked. Not my fault they dropped it and it sat there until all the snow defrosted.

>>59036760
No, it's just a weak SoC. around 37k antutu. should be alright for day to day use but obviously not for gaymin.

The SD625 on the vanilla ZenFone 3 scores around 60k for comparison.

>>59036125

I've been using my Moto g4 for a week
What the fuck was I thinking when I had an iPhone. Android is easy to use, apps are snappy, the phone is lightweight. Tossed in a 128 microSD and things are peachy. Battery lasts a day and a half, sometimes more.
The only problem is the camera, that's literally it. I would recommend this phone to anyone. Makes sense why its shilled in this thread almost as much as the xiaomi.

>>59036802
Stop playing stupid. Just bring it to the local police department, or post in some local facebook group if you're in a mood to try to help someone out.
Fucking gypsy faggot

>>59036882
What's the deal with the camera? I'm tempted to get one.

>>59036956
Why get the G4 now when the G5 is being announced in a weeks time

>>59036989
I'm on budget, I don't like to spend much on phones. How much would it drop in price?

>>59036840
Not really planning on gaming, just shitposting on 4chan and maybe like tetris or some shit.

>>59036922
Maybe if I had a car or used fb. Tbh it probably wouldn't work anyway. Besides, they probably have a new phone by now as it must've been under three feet of snow for weeks.

>>59036989
G5 isn't that much of an upgrade anyway and it's more like a refresh.

>>59036956
The camera is okay in good lighting and average at best in low light. It takes okay shots, but could be better. Considering that the g5 will be announced soon I think that >>59036989 was saying that the g5 might be a similar price to the g4 now, but better specs. The g4 might get 10-20 dollars cheaper next month

I'm also broke and badly in need of a new phone.
I know how it is to lose a phone. I got pickpocketed out of a flagship phone a few years back. This one is a cheap walmart model, however. I saw it more as a gift from the random chance gods than me being human scum, but okay.

>LG
Bootloops, awful customer service when you try to replace your bootlooped phone because they want to hide the issue. Poor performance even with the latest Qualcomm SOC. G5's and V20's are noticably slower than other Android phones.
>Samsung
Exploding + Touchwiz + Abysmal update speed (and when you finally get Nougat it's probably going to worsenperformance like Lolipop and Marshmallow)
>HTC, Motorola, Sony, etc
Shitty skins + OEM and carrier bloat. While not as bad as Samsung, slow updates. Not to mention their offerings are just all around inferior to Samsungs.
>One Plus
Probably your best bet if your carrier supports it. Have fun gambling with your $400. You might get a phone that has a shitty screen, or a bad battery, or whatever. But it's only a mild inconvenience!
>Other Chink phones
All around garbage.
>Pixel
Disappointing. Pixel 2 is Android's last hope.

Let's run down the list

Android phones let you:
>have real encryption with no backdoors
>download over 100MB over mobile data
>install a third party app launcher and icons
>use it as a flash drive
>share any kind of file over wifi/bluetooth
>torrent via torrent clients in the playstore
>install apps outside the playstore
>modify a few system settings to increase performance and decrease battery drain
>manually control complex camera functions via third party apps
>natively browse files
>view better colors via amoled displays
>browse 4chan and natively open webms inside them via third party apps
>extract/browse archives
>add additional phone storage via a micro SD card
>replace the stock battery with a bigger one
>add widgets to your home screen
>access important functions by swiping down

ALL WITHOUT HAVING TO HACK YOUR PHONE

My autism compelled me to put this together and these are all the reasonable options I see for what I need.

I live in US and have at&t, so no chinkshit.

I work in lawn irrigation and take calls in the field so I either need a water resistant phone or one that has good case options. When I price in a case, it's typically one that provides sufficient protection, such as lifeproof.

I am currently using a Galaxy S5 which met my needs when I bought it, but the thing has just turned to slow shit for at least the past year. I really hate Samsung shit.

It seems like most of what I see other contractor type guys using is S7's or iPhones. I've never owned an iPhone and really don't like using them, but I'm at my wits end with android's offerings. But I do love ricing the shit out of my phone and I have like $60 in play credit stored up from Google Rewards.

Price is definitely a large factor for me, but it doesn't look like I have much choice if I set a budget. Suffice to say the OnePlus 3T is the most expensive phone I can buy off-contract.

What is my best bet?

Should I sell my worn out Oneplus One and get a Redmi 3 Pro?

Any pro or cons?

>>59037352
I also live in the US, and am considering phones on at&t (straight talk) as well. Have you considered the Moto Z Play? It seems to fit between the 1+3t and the G4

>>59037352
>>59037718
Also, im curious, is the Zuk z2 pro, or honor 8 not an option on at&t?

>>59037352
I'd wait to see the phones announced at MWC. What do you use your phone for?

>>59037685
Why get that when Redmi 4 Pro exists?

>>59037415
BLU R1 HD or a used Moto G

>>59037786
Hm.. but its only 5.0"? Am I wrong? I really wanted to have good, cheap 5.5"

>>59037718
>>59037745

The Moto Z Play seems like really great value for the money, I'm just not sold on the durability of the thing. Same for the Zuk and Honor 8. Although the Z Play may have better case options than the chink phones. Another issue I have with it is that it costs as much as the 3T without looking as nice, but this is subjective. Do you know of any good cases for the Z?

I think I will add the Z to my list of considerations since I've heard great things about the battery life.

>>59037836
Redmi 3 Pro is also 5" but I'm guessing you meant the Redmi NOTE 3 Pro. Yes, it's worth it to upgrade from Oneplus One.

>>59037925

>>59037760
One week feels like forever when I'm dealing with my S5, but yeah I will be waiting.

I use my phone a lot as a GPS unit since I do house calls for lawn irrigation. Beyond that, I have to carry it with me while I'm working in case I get another call. During the summer time my pants can get soaked three or more times in a day. I can see that I'm hard on my phones. Considering buying a separate gps unit since that is hell on the battery of a phone.

>>59037983
Do you feel you'd need flagship tier specs with your use? The Moto G4 would handle most phone stuff just as fine as the phones 2-3x its price.

Someone knows how to flash CM (or maybe another CFW) on a LG P970 with Android 2.2.2?

I'm using one from 2011 myself, been looking to upgrade from my Galaxy S2.

>>59038270
>buying even numbered galaxys, ever

>>59038149
Well yes and no. I only say yes because they main reason I'm upgrading from the S5 is how slowly it chugs along. It's a very frustrating experience to open maps, dial phone numbers, and read text messages. The second reason is that the battery drops crazy fast, but I can live with that since I can charge it when I drive.

But the answer is also no because it isn't the specs that matter, but rather the performance. I don't care about driving some 1440p screen, I just want to be able to see it in the daytime and not pull my hair out using it. I love the price of the Moto G4 Plus and it seems good. Very excited to see more of the Moto G5 (hopefully) next week.

>>59036177
Check the sticky u dumb dumb

What is the difference on redmi 4 prime and pro or are they the same phone?

>>59038352
Have you tried a factory reset, or installing a custom ROM on the S5? It's a recent enough phone that it shouldn't be lagging near as much as what you're describing. I have a phone with the same chipset and it's absolutely smooth and lagfree.

Also the S5 has a replaceable battery so buying a new battery should fix it draining fast. There's also extended batteries available for it that have double or even triple the original capacity, if you don't mind the added bulk.

>>59036680
Oh shit really? Welp better luck next time I guess

>>59038647
Not a bad idea doing a factory reset, it's just that I've heard very similar complaints from owners of the phones. The performance seems to drop very badly whenever they roll out updates. But I suppose there's no harm in giving it a try.

I'm a little shy about replacing the battery since I did the same thing for my dad's S4 Active, but the battery life didn't actually get better. The problem for him wasn't the battery wearing out, but actually the phone just wanting more power.

I looked around at installing a more stock-like ROM, but I just wasn't able to find a simple enough guide for my understanding. I know that this specific version (the at&t variant) has a locked bootloader.

I will do a factory reset, and if the performance becomes bearable I could grab a zero-lemon case.
Thanks.

>>59038460
Same phone

Is there someplace where I can learn about the definition and importance of these specs besides googling the terms individually? Terms like "snapdragon" mean nothing to a newfag like me, but I would like To learn.

>>59039081
how about a ranking of Snapdragon processors?
are all the 8xx better than 6xx, and 6xx better than 4xx?

>>59039309
No. Just like in desktop CPUs: i7-860 isn't faster than i5-7500.

I've been considering switching over to android. Is there anything comparable to apple watch for fitness tracking? completely serious.

is the LG V20 worth it at $499 or is the bootloop meme real?

I'm not much of a power user, but for reference, a SD 801 is more than enough power for what I do, so having the latest and greatest isn't a priority, hence why I'm looking at a z3c. So long as I can text and run an occasional emulator (which my old note 2 can do, so I'm not too concerned).

Man, I just want a new fucking phone already. Nothing from 2016 looks worthy of upgrading to and 2017 even looks worse. What do /spg/?

>>59039681
What kind of features are you waiting for if no current phone looks worthy of upgrading to?

oukitel 20+ or redmi 4a

My current phone has a micro sim card and I just ordered a OP3T, which has a nano sim card.
I just need to cut it to the right shape&size and the card will work in the new phone on the same network, right?
Will I keep the same number too?

>>59040886
20+ has 40k+ antutu score, redmeme4a has 36k
Do the math

>>59040886
Redmi 4A, easy.

>>59040915
Yeah, just be careful not to fuck up cutting it or you'll have to go get a new SIM. Though your carrier might just give you a nano SIM card if you ask for one.

>>59040954
Why? Apparently oukitel has a better score?>>59040935

>>59040974
Benchmarks don't tell much about real life performance. And the difference is quite small anyway (Redmi 4A gets around 10% less).

Xiaomi has a better track record than Oukitel on keeping their phones updated and the Mediatek SoC in the Oukitel means it'll probably never get custom ROMs for it.

My friend and I both have the same phone, he is on Walmart Family Mobile (his dad's a pharmacist there so it's extra cheap), and I'm on T Mobile.
Logically we should have the same exact reception in the same areas, but that's absolutely untrue. He's had this issue before with his old Galaxy S3 and S2 before it, he rarely receives any of my calls or texts at his house, where i get nearly perfect 4g LTE reception and for some reason he only gets 3g at best.

It's a pretty stellar phone desu

US, MetroPCS/T-Mobile, Android, $250, at least 2gb RAM and 16GB storage, and 5' screen (can go a bit larger).

Long battery life is an absolute must, and a decent camera would be nice too. My iPhone 5s has been abused a lot and it's on its last legs, and the battery is fucked.

Anyone have an educated guess whether the android blackberries will get nougat?

Does anyone know if there is a quick way to tell if a device is root-able?
I have a list of phones with acceptable processors, and I've weeded out those which my carrier doesn't support. Now, i'd like to cross-check the results with a list of root-able phones.
I started using the Lineage OS website, but i know some root-able phones aren't supported by Lineage.
Is there perhaps another ROM that supports nearly everything? Or possibly another that i can use in conjunction with Lineage's list?

Motorola and HTC have the best OEM skins and are one of the fastest to update.

They are also one of the best options for custom rom support.

Okay /spg/ I'm looking for a new phone. I have been oogling at the OP3T because it's simple, rootable, and comes with damn-near stock android. I also like the hardware buttons not taking up screen real-estate. Anything better in that price range that supports US LTE bands? I have been out of the market for a while.

>>59042135
Same except im on an iphone 6 and waiting for the s8

>10% by 4pm
>shuts of at 5%
>no quick charge

>>59043365
I'd also consider the Axon 7, it's $350 from Newegg and compared to the OP3T you get
>stereo front facing speakers
>MicroSD slot
>1440p display
>Hi-fi DAC

Already ordered this.

It's in the OP, it also has some pretty neat resources for looking for phones.

gsmarena allows you to sort phones by features, specs, release date, etc, then from there you can see which phones and which models are compatible with your carrier via willmyphonework

>>59045342
Well yeah, but it's not a real winner besides having those qualities.

Avon 7 mini hits all those points, but I don't think it's worth it over all. Too many compromises in other areas.

Played with it today.
Not really my thing, I don't enjoy the LG experience to be quite honest.

I ended up pre-ordering the S8 since it looks a little better to me.

Not American before you ask me.

What's wrong with Samsung Galaxy phones other than the shitty bloatware. Can't you just simply install a new rom easily?

I can get the Moto G4 and the K6 Note for the same price.
Which one should I go for?

>>59046322
How did you manage to play with it when it hasn't been even announced yet?

Found a broken OP3, dude wants about 250€.
The screen is working, but it's a pretty bad crack,
replacing it would cost 120€.

Do you think 180€ would be a reasonable offer?

Do I get a used Moto G (second gen) for 80 Australian dollary-doos, or a clearly refurbished screen Xperia Z3 with a broken pixel for 90 dollary-doos?
Being very powerful not so much a priority as just werking, plus preferably not being laggy during non-strenuous use.
Worried about the refurbished z3 screen dying on me.

>>59047994
Even if you get it for 180€ you're still paying 300€ in total, a used OP3 in good condition can't cost much more than that considering it sold for 399€ when new.

>>59048207
>399€ when new.
Thei're not being distributed anymore, used in good condition they go for 300-350€.
Cheaper I've seen is 300€.

>>59048245
But if you can get one in good condition for 300€ why get one with a broken screen if you end up paying 300€ anyway?

>>59048315
They mostly go for the higher end on the spectrum of 300-350€.

Is W10 Mobile really the end of the road? I've been a hardcore mac/iphonefag for 6 years now and I'm tired of how arrogant cook has been getting (new iPhone is supposed to start at $1000+). However, I still like iOS/macOS for the synergy they have together. Only other option that offers anything like that is windows and their big news emphasis on continuum, but I don't want to buy into a dead platform

For the record I'm not a big app user at all, I only have six (6) user-downloaded apps on my iPhone (fb messenger, twitter, ig, Netflix, yt, and imdb). I care more about UI and firmware

>>59045808
Htc 10, m9, m8 and m7 but it came out 7n 2013
All of them have stereo speakers. The one m series have stereo front facing speakers.

Huawei Mate 9 is now $600. Other than the low DPI and no splash resistance, any other reasons to not buy? I was looking at the Pixel XL but $770 seems a bit high.

Is it easy to unlock the Huawei's bootloader and install vanilla Android? My last 3 phones were Nexus, so my only major issue with Huawei is that I want to get rid of the manufacturer Android skin.

>>59049206
Huawei Mate 9 uses Huawei's in-house Kirin SoC so it won't get a lot of custom ROMs developed for it, if any. If that's something you care about you're better off getting a phone with a Snapdragon SoC such as Oneplus 3T or HTC 10.

Unlock the bootloader again. You need to fastboot the original recovery, then sideload the original OxygenOS from downloads.oneplus.net and re-lock the bootloader. It will be restored to new condition.

Post in r/oneplus for instructions.

>>59049125
It's alive, but in a state of limbo. Development of the platform is slow and unfocused. If you can drop money on a Lumia and not regret it I suggest trying it out. Microsoft is improving but slowly. Just be aware you'd be buying into a beta program.

I'd buy a Lumia as well since I'd like my laptop be part of the whole ecosystem but dropping money on a device's unsure support is not an option. For the money I'd spend I can go with a safe Android device.

Will the Moto G5+ be worth buying compared to the G4+?

Should I wait? Also, does anyone have experience with the audio playback on the Oneplus? I've heard it's not as good as the Axon 7 with its DAC, but does it sound like shit? The way they have the software mess with the audio makes it very bassy.

Can we agree this is the best flagship out now regardless of the price? That lack of bezel is great and it even comes with a slim case

Go for it. Just bought a Z3 used for 205 and apart from some screen scratches and a faulty top loudspeaker, it's the perfect phone.

It sounds stupid, but I want to buy a phone that will run KitKat.
4.4 was last good version

You wanna do a downgrade?

Is Redmeme Note 4X Gray worth 165$?
What about LineageOS support?

From Aus, have $500 AUD budget for phone, what recommendations?

Oneplus 3 / 3T, Axon 7

Fuck. My moto x pure edition doesn't charge anymore. Well it does, but I have to put increasingly gradual pressure on the cable toward the face. First it started with putting it on top of a wallet so the slight incline can do it. Now I'm just stacking things on top of my phone, near a divet in my computer case. It's not the cable, because I used two different cables.

What do you guys think I should do? I bought it over a year ago so I can't return it. And I bought it unlocked so I can't exactly complain to my phone company about it.

I'm thinking of buying a cheap $80 dollar phone off of amazon. Thinking about one of those Blu phones. Just in case my phone stops charging completely

Talk me out of this

Ask Motorola customer service if they'll replace the charging port for a fee. If not, take it to your local phone repair store and ask how much they'll charge for it.

I already looked into the local stores one. Charging port is built in to the motherboard. Some third party won't be able to fix it

Repair would probably then cost more than a new phone. But I'll look into it anyway. Thanks for the idea

Try f droid

There are 3 tetris games on F-Droid. All of them have buttons for controls (which is slow and stupid), and you can't go back after trying swipe controls like in the EA Tetris games.
