Is there a good Tetris game for Android?
Picrelated version from EA was basically perfect in terms of gameplay, but a total shit otherwise.

All I want is a simple Tetris game that launches fast, runs fast, and has tight swipe controls.
Is there anything out there for me?

>>59062109
Exactly what makes it shit?

Can I get /g/spg/'s consensus on the OP 3T? What do you hate about it? What makes it great (besides price tag)?

Also why is Applel not bankrupt from a $439 phone beating the iPhone 7 P L U S in a speed/heat test? Like fucking come on.

Just ordered an lg stylo 2 plus, opinions? T mobile gave me no other options besides iPhones so either way I'm stuck with it

>>59062050
That image looks photoshopped.

But if this phone actually looks like that, props to Samshit for learning how to into aesthetic. They just need to have their software devs do the same with Touchjizz.

>>59062190
Only downside of the OP3T is the phablet size (subjective) and lack of SD card support, but unless you're the autismo type that needs all his 500 hours worth of music, several seasons of 10 bit chinese cartoons and every single emu+ROM ever known to mankind, 64GB is enough.

> iOS is cancer to use
> refurbished is not the same thing as new

I've gotten a refurbished Thinkpad and it came with internal pieces of the case snapped off as well as a broken clasp on the screen bezel. Might not be everything, but after a wigger took my phone I got another one, refurbished, and it's dog shit in quality in comparison. I wouldn't trust it.

>>59062177
Incredibly slow interface and insane loading times for a fucking Tetris game. If I want to play Tetris, I want it immediately. Not after it goes through all the splash screens and retarded animations and menu transitions and loading screens. It takes about 25 seconds on my Nexus 5 from starting the app to playing the game, it's actually ridiculous.

Ads. Microtransactions (not sure if they were present in the version in my pic, but they are in the latest one).


I'm losing hope in finding an alternative, I guess I'll have to start over in writing my own Tetris close.

Thinking of getting the doogee t6 pro, anyone ever have a doogee product?

>>59062257
> 500 hours worth of music
I'm working on 1,000 my friendo...
But fuck watching chinese cartoons and storing roms on that shit. Why would you ever WANT to watch anime on that shit sized screen?

my only real complaint with the G5 Plus is the 2GB of Ram. should be 3GB. I might consider it. but I'm probably getting the Honor 6X.

>managed to talk down the price of a OP3 with a broken screen to 200€
>screen replacement would take 120€ if I get it on aliexpress and at least 30 days before I get it

Most OP3 in good conditions go for 320€ on ebay,
this one doesn't even have accessories.
Tried offering 170€ at first and even that wasn't too much of a deal for me.
Should I wait a few days before haggling some more? There's no way he'll sell it for the price he's asking.

I might just go for a lenovo p2 in the meanwhile or get another used OP3 in better conditions.

>>59062445
It will have a 4/64 version just like the G4+.

>>59062050

Agreed, unfortunately most phones with a 65X Doc are rediculously over priced,even out pricing phones with 820s choosers
625 is a good compromise

>>59062968
It's got a Snapdragon so it'll get ROMs eventually, the Indian version already has a LineageOS ROM

>>59062989
It's not that much more powerful, you won't notice a difference in everyday use. The SD625 is also way more power efficient than the SD650.

Only difference between chinese and indian versions is lte frequencies. ROMs should be interchangeable.

But would I be able to replace it under warranty?
isn't it limited to the original buyer?

Anybody knows if the Lenovo p2 is getting nougat?

>>59062497
It's not like they've been making phones with rounded screen edges for 2.5 years with minor complaints.

how long does samsung usually update their flagship phones?

>>59063488
>minor complaints
People selling their phone or trading it with iPhone because you can't fucking type on that fucking meme display

Okay.

>>59063560
Minor complaints, as I said. Or you think they've been stamping them out just for the love of the craft?
People buy them, people like them, so they keep making them. Samsung would have dropped the gimmick long ago if it was actually problematic, but it is not.

I've narrowed down my list of phones I'm interested in to these three, and find they each have their pros and cons. Any recommendations?

Keep in mind I have a fairly limited budget and my provider's frequency is very limited.

>>59063852
Honor 8
Best camera
Fastest
EMUI 5 is alright

>>59062497
Literally unusable without a case. That goes for all previous edge phones as well.

>>59063852
ZTE for battery life, Honor 8 for camera. LG for bootloops

>>59063958

srs question. Why do LG phones bootloop so much?

>>59062299
Don't even, DOOGEE is a shit company.
Little to no customer support, let alone system updates.

Is there any way to unlock a phone for free? My uncle asked me to get his phone unlocked because that's what everyone in this family does when they need anything vaguely tech related, and after employing my usual expert methods (i.e. google) all I found were shady looking """software""" and equally shady paid services. Am I just wasting my time here?

poorfag here, which one should I get?

LG G2 vs Galaxy S4 vs HTC One M7 vs..

>>59063852
Honor 8

>>59064155
shit solder used on the phones, meaning components come loose when the phone heats up. Plenty of other issues in their phones too.

Hi /g/, never posted here before. I just dropped my Galaxy S4 and the screen is broken so this gives me an excuse to buy a new phone finally. I've had the S4 for the past 6 years, and I'm wondering what my next phone should be. I'm in the U.S. and I have Verizon. I liked the general size of the S4, it's nice and slim, while not being overly wide or long. Features wise, I'd like to have a nice camera, possibly a 4k screen, ample storage, and a decent battery life.

Also no IShit pls.

>>59064264
What's your budget? Out of the three I'd say LG G2.

>>59064383
Just bought a oneplus 3t after my g4 screen cracked.
It'll be here monday
Did I make a mistake.

>>59064383

>>59064352
>4k screen
Why tf would you want a 4K screen on a phone? Also only a single phone exist that has one.

>>59064439
I'd also look for used 3rd gen Moto G's. You can also get the prime exclusive Moto G4 Play for $99 from Amazon if you're in the US.

>>59064352
>>59064474

My Note 2 served me well, but it's starting to get outdated and annoying to charge. I want a new phone.
I'm satisfied with the Note 2's size so big phones are not a problem.
I use my phone for work, so it needs to be fast and up to date, and has to be android. Outside of that I use it mostly for browsing, and music whenever I step outside. A good camera would be nice. Good battery life is very nice to have too. Storage size will most likely not be an issue with or without SD card support, seeing the amount most phones come with now.
I live in France and my carrier is Free. And I'd like to spend around 400€ at most.

I was thinking OnePlus 3T, but I'm a bit wary seeing it's a chinese company. Most current flagships are too expensive for my budget (and too expensive period, imo), and the Note 7 was a disaster anyway.
What do?

>>59065328
Wait for MWC next week and if nothing intersting launches buy the OP3T.

>>59065328

Wait about a week or two and snag a S7 when they're priced around the 3T

So, what is the one best, perfect size of a smart phone?

I still have a galaxy s2, it fits into my hand perfects, but I think by now it is considered small?

>>59065418
There isn't a perfect size, depends completely on what you're comfortable with. Go to a store and try different size display phones.

What about the OnePlus 3T? From the G4?

Old and shitty. get the P9 lite or Honor 8 if you can't afford the P9.

Trying to choose between an S7 and S7 Edge. Don't care much for the bent screen gimmick, but is the extra battery life worth the extra bucks?

>>59066450
don't get the s7 it has lag issues after the update

>>59066450
I'd say so. Edge version is larger, 5.5" compared to the 5.2" display on the S7, depends on your preference if that's a pro or a con.

Nice bezels on the LG G6 but doesn't it have a last-gen processor?

I've been looking into the Zuk Z2 for a while now and just about ready to pull the trigger. I've never bought a phone off one of these chinese sites, and I'm a bit nervous about giving them my money. On Amazon the phone is $245, but its only $180 on banggood, which seems like a great deal. Is it worth the risk to save $65?

tldr; should I trust chinese sites or stick to amazon?

>>59069128
Indeed it does. It's going to use the SD821 processor since Samsung is manufacturing all SD835s and gets to exclusively use them for a few months because of that. I wouldn't worry too much though, SD835 brings the smallest performance jump in a decade. Also it's supposed to be a bit more power efficient.

Yes, it'll most likely come with a vendor ROM installed so once you've got the phone you'll want to flash either the stock ROM (I recommend the India version) or a custom ROM such as Mokee or LinesgeOS.

see>>59067001

>>59070854
Green check is partial band support. The Redmi has bands 2 and 4 but is missing band 5 and 17. B17 is AT&T's main LTE band so I wouldn't expect to have LTE everywhere.

If you want a chinkphone with full support for AT&T's network bands I'd look at LeEco Le Max 2

Had the Google Pixel Xl for the past couple of weeks after upgrading from my OnePlus 2 ( I was gonna get the OnePlus 3T, but decided against it).

But it's honestly the best phone I've ever used, can't find a fault in it. Battery and the camera are great and everything runs smooth as fuck. Not rooted/flashed it yet, not sure if I'm even gonna bother doing so.

>>59062050
Would prefer a larger screen.

>>59071176
Apparently you can sign up for a contract and then cancel after getting the phone if you're not currently a T-Mobile customer.

>>59071412
>Overpriced? Maybe. I got a good deal from the place I work, so I'm paying £30 a month for the phone and my contract, meaning I get both for pretty much just the price of the phone.

What's currently the best phone 5.2" and smaller for around $200? Needs:

RN3P gets LTE on T-Mobile, a lot of the other Xiaomi phones work if you're fine with getting 3.5G. The global variant of Mi Note 2 supports pretty much all US carriers, but that phone is way more pricier.

>>59071572

>>59071639

Alright gents, I got something for you.

My LG G5(H830 T-mobile) has an issue charging, one of the clips holding the charger in place got damaged.

So I order a new "chin" for my phone off of ebay and after installing it all I get is an unsupported module error. Are these modules locked to carriers? Can't figure it out by myself.

Not sure if this thread is the right place for this, but what apps would you consider essential? The apps you install as soon as you get a new phone. For example, I use colornote for everything because I'm very forgetful and it helps me set daily goals. I've heard Mint and my fitness pal are good for tracking finances and keeping health goals.

I actually started writing my own almost a year ago. Didn't work out for many reasons, but the main one: you should probably not release it on Google Play store, unless you want trouble.
I contacted the Tetris company, see picrelated.

TL;DR: You can't make a FOSS Tetris clone and release it for free with no ads on Google Play store, because you need a license you'll never get, or you'll get sued.

I'll still probably make my own Tetris game at some point and release it on F-Droid only.

Looking for good battery life. 802.11n/ac support, SD card would be a plus.

I'm not much of a power user, but for reference, a SD801 is more than enough power for what I do, so having the latest and greatest isn't a priority, same goes for the ram, more than 2 is nice, but 2 is all I need.

What's your ideal phone size for fitting into a pocket comfortably? This assumes walking with it, sitting with it, pulling out the phone while in sitting position, etc. Half the reason I've even been interested in the S7 is because it's pretty much just my S3 but with a metal shell, but lately I've noticed just how often I've found it too small.

But the lack of apps scare me..

>>59079809
>swapping batteries
This is pretty much my number one "must" for smartphones, and the v20 was about everything I wanted. However, seeing as my v10 bootlooped and LG wouldn't repair it for free, I wasn't going to risk the v20.
Got the HTC10 instead since it was on sale and I could get red without paying 20x the price. Actually should have bought two and done that now that I think of it.
HTC10 is nice, got some features I love, but still miss some stuff from the v10. Mostly the battery. Once this thing starts dying I don't know if I'll just get rid of it, get a third party to replace it, do it myself, or get HTC to do it.

>>59079906
>for security and for people who really work
Are they stuck in the late 2000s? Maybe it's just me but I can't see Blackberry somehow being more secure than any other Android phone out there. Like thinking HP is more secure than Dell despite both having Windows 10. Maybe somehow via hardware, but I doubt it myself.

I guess someone else can chime in if I'm completely wrong.

Otherwise, the OnePlus will blow the Blackberry out of the water and probably has the latest, if not just later, Android updates. Will probably fit better in your pockets, assuming you don't wear khakis or cargo pants.
