Is there currently any way to block ads within apps on Nougat?

Back on Marshmallow,
>AdAway for web browsing + MinMinGuard for apps
did the trick. Unfortunately, Marshmallow doesn't support Xposed for MinMinGuard

>>60540327
Only Verizon carries it in store. You can buy an unlocked Pixel from Google directly.

My dumb ass managed to break my phone today. First time ever breaking a mobile device. Was my tried and true LG V10. I have a much lower spec LG phone for backup, but was wondering how long I should use it. With Samsung Note 8 launch being talked about for August or September, should I just wait? Do you guys think the note 8 is some worth waiting for? Or should I just get the V20?

Pic related. My reaction when I saw my V10 turn off for the final time, never to greet me with it's boot up splash screens ever again.

Question. How important are screen protectors? I've had this thing all of four days now and one of my doofus coworkers was on my ass today telling me I NEED to have one.

I read some will alter the touch-screen's performance, so is it worth having one and what kind?

>>60540705
I'd say pretty important. Screen protectors have saved a few of my phones when I dropped them, lay them on their screens, push my phones into my pocket against a pocket knife, or just other general daily things I no longer have to worry about.

As far as I've experienced. Only one device in my entire lifetime was really noticeably different with a screen protector so generally I don't think they really change much in terms of performance.

>>60540705
I would. I got a glass screen protector for my V10 and the difference between the actual screen and the protector is night and day. You really don't realize just how much stuff your hand grinds into the screen. Plus they're like $5. Really no reason not to. If you hate it, take it off and you're out some pocket change.

Bought the g5 plus finally. Love the fingerprint scanner and how it is used as a nav bar.

>>60540273
The most common complaint I think is the screen not being so bright. Seems to fully deliver on every other front, as far as being an Android phone with a physical keyboard and Blackberry features. MKBHD said he wishes that the keyboard was bigger/keys not so close together--something to consider if you have big hands, I guess. I don't know how soon American stores will have display models to hold in person.

Heya,

Question here : I'd like to buy a smartphone in which I could install a botnet free android distro (I don't know shit about it), supporting U900/2100 L800/1800/2600, with a good camera and allowing to store apps data in SD card.

I bought a Meizu M3S back in the days I didn't know shit and now I'm fucked cause it took me month to install the international version of it and now that crap doesn't even allow to copy apps data on SD card, and of course my hard drive is small.

Any ideas, plz? Am I asking for something that exist? Do you have any links on how to install a botnet free distro on a smartphone btw?

Thanks in advance.

I'm wondering if there is a noticeable difference between 4GB and 6GB of RAM on the S8+ or any other phone for that matter. Has anyone noticed anything in that regard?

Is there any phone with a stylus like the Note but not a samsung shit?

Would you recommend buying an S7 at this point?

What does /spg/ think about older flagships in general?

>>60541028
That's really good. Kinda regret not waiting for one in that case, bought the z5p a month ago since I wasn't sure on the bezels on the xz

I need help /spg/

I need a phone to use in shitty, dirty, moist 3rd world countries, so it needs to be:
>not shit
>well-built
>shockproof
>at least reliably splashproof
>no more than 5"
>large, REMOVABLE battery, possibly hypothetical power switch that actually turns it the fuck off
>dual sim and micro sd, I can deal with a combined sim/sd slot
>micro usb tybe B charging

Bonus points for dedicated camera button. So far, I'm only finding some Xperas to be fitting, but removable battery is a must.

>>60542355
Xperia xz premium or s8

huawei Nova 2 will have dual cameras and SD660 on May 26.

Can most unencrypted Android devices be easily compromised by just flashing TWRP, which gives you full access to the file system? I know many devices require bootloader unlock to do any tinkering with them but e.g. TWRP can just be flashed on an old GS4 with Odin, right? There's no other security measure? I'm asking because I'm looking for an old used flagship phone, all I need is WhatsCancer and navigation but encrypting those old non-64bit/AES-enabled devices is not viable since performance tanks massively but I also can't risk getting my dickpics easily exposed.

>>60542954

Sony Mobile Communications has commented at this years Investors Day their plans for FY2017 and beyond (https://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/IR/calendar/presen/irday/irday2017/MC_E.pdf). The most important points for the inmediate future are:

>Discontinuation of a mid-price range; no more "Premium Standard" phones (X, X Compact), focus on "Flagship" ones.
>Two new "Flagships" devices for this year, probably to be announced around IFA.
>One of those devices at the same price range as XZs (XZ Compact?), the other slightly cheaper but still more expensive than the X.

I just want a new top-of-the-line compact model from them. Come on.

>>60543320
http://www.gsmarena.com/specs_for_sony_xperia_xz1_xz1_compact_and_x1_leak-news-25138.php

Why do a lot of flagship phones have glass bodies these days?

>>60543345

Nice. A compact model with 720p screen and a 835 should be a speed monster while keeping good battery life.

Any other brand announced a mini model with the 835 yet?

So after 2.5 years the battery in my sony z3 compact is completely dead. Was only lasting for 3 hours from full charge on standby and now won't boot. Apparently it's a common problem that also affects the z5 and z5 compact.

Any recommendations for an equally good phone under 5"?

Which phones out now have the absolute best camera around? Is it just pixel and the s8 only?

>>60543925
P9 / P10 does good if you're shooting in raw like you should unless you're uncle kenny.
Phone cameras will ALWAYS compromise on quality, specially in low light. If you really want good picture quality (that's pocketable) you should get a Sony RX100 or panasonic 1" sensor compact anyway.

>>60543925
According to DXOmark

Samsung Galaxy s5 bought secondhand. I have verizon, live in the US, and don't mind a little older (usually get a couple year old phones secondhand). My basic wants are: quick charging and decent size, not xbawkzhueg. Bonus: physical keyboard, especially portrait layout. Budget - open but again, I prefer cheap and have very basic needs. Every damn quick charging phone I've seen is on other networks other than the pixel.

Just got a price matched Moto g5 plus from bestbuy, this is literally the most expensive phone I've ever owned(kinda nervous about it breaking)
Coming from a Moto e 2nd gen, and the build quality is like night and day, my only complaint is it's a bit too light, but I ordered a case, and a glass screen protector so it should give it a bit more girth, and heft.

Also despite having huge gorilla hands I have to get used to the much larger screen, good thing it has the one handed use feature.

Hi /spg/, I've never had a smartphone and I'm thinking about getting one. I don't like big screens (I'm going to keep in my jeans' pocket all the time), I don't care about audio quality, I don't think I'm going to play games on it, I want a decent camera and a reasonable battery life, I don't care about brands, I'm Ok with buying Chinese stuff online, but I'd like good assembly/material quality.

thoughts? are the meme curves a deal breaker?

>>60546656
The edge features are a gimmick and it's harder to find screen protectors and cases that fit for it. I've also heard just holding the phone can cause accidental touches. There is one quite a big pro the Edge has though, which is that the battery is larger capacity so it gets noticeably better battery life than the regular S7.

>>60548899
Thanks, seems to work fine

>>60540858
>and the difference between the actual screen and the protector is night and day.

That doesn't sound like a good thing, though.

>>60548960
Honestly really good. I had a rn3p with 4000ma before and I don't feel like it is much worse. I still get about two days without charging. Stock room has really good battery life, especially considering this phone has a sd820 and 2k screen. Also qc3.0 charges the phone super fast, so it's even less of an issue.

>>60547310
Because phablets have taken over.

We had ~4" phones and 10" tablets.
Then phones grew while tablets shrunk a bit, and we got 5" phones and 7" tablets.
The 7" tablets were generally more popular than their bigger brethren
Well, phones kept on growing. 5.5", then 6", and so on.
Now here we are, 7" tablets don't exist anymore. They're just phablets sold as phones.
There are still some larger tablets around, but most of the market has been swallowed by phablets since the smaller tablet sizes were more popular from the beginning.

That said, I just got a Galaxy Tab S3 today. Liking it quite a bit so far, though the glass back is fucking aids. Fuck whoever thought that was a good design decision.

Are people unironically using screen protectors ITT?

>>60549194
Never used one personally.
Also never broke any screens.

>>60549194
I am amazed how many people get sold on this. One of the roles in my job is administrator of all phones that are used for company business. 9 times out of 10 these users are using a self purchased screen protector.

>>60549179
i like the galaxy tab s3 but it's price is ridiculous especially considering the old chip in it

>>60549218
But why? If you're not going to re-sell, what's the FUCKING point? You're literally making your usage experience worse and get nothing out of it.

>>60549218
>Have case + TGSP on phone
>Accidentally scrape ceramic tweezers on glass while working, causing a noticeable groove
>Later drop phone on thinly carpeted floor from about two feet up
>Despite the cushioning from the case and floor, the glass cracks all the way across along where the scratch was

$5 for a screen protector sounds pretty good to me.

>>60549287
Because they are dumbasses who do literally no testing or research of their devices before purchase.... Most of these people are entirely out of touch with the current "trends" in technology and know not the difference between and iPhone and a V20.

>>60549307
Yeah, that would have totally helped.

I never used a screen protector on any of my gorilla glass phones and even though I often keep them in the same pocket as my keychain, I never had a single scratch on them.

>>60549318
It did. Just peeled off the broken screen protector and put on a new one. Phone's screen remains pristine.

Considering I had that tempered glass for nearly a year before it broke, $5 is a good deal.

>>60549371
A good deal for something that broke without any benefit.
Don't give me that "But muh screen would have cracked otherwise", we all know that's fucking stupid.

>>60549233
>but it's price is ridiculous
Yep. Yes it is. Samsung's prices are generally just fucking stupid.

But it's also the only nice Android tablet and just recently released to a market that moves much slower than the phone market does, so I doubt we'll be seeing a more powerful SoC in an Android tablet for a while unless Nvidia has something new in the works already.
The Snapdragon 820 is plenty fast despite being last generation, though. Might not push as high numbers in benchmarks as the latest and greatest flagship phones, but my Tab S3 isn't suffering from performance issues either.

>>60549403
i'm looking for an android tablet and just read that you can run android apps on chrome os and since chromebooks are much cheaper and available, i think i'm going to go for one of those

Current smartphone is a zenfone 5, it served me well for most of the time but it has a shitty batery, wasn't a problem before but now i travel all the time and keep running out of batery from the constant use on the bus, should i get a new smartphone with better batery or just a powerbank to charge on the go?
Trying to decide between a moto g5 Plus (not many options where i live, it's either that or Samsung stuff, which i really dislike) or an Asus Power Bank.

Gonna get a regular ZUK Z2 probably. Anyone have the same phone? From what I can tell the pro version has a better quality screen and a bit larger one, not sure what other differences there are.

>>60551871
No thanks I'll continue leading my life by your example.

Good replacement for the LG g3? I need a good screen and battery, a good camera as well, as I have to take lots of pictures for work and they need to be clear, not dslr quality, but definitely not 2008 webcam quality either.

Got a budget of $500 Canadian and use the virgin mobile LTE bands

Has anyone rooted their G6?

Anything I should know about the huawei honor 7? Looks good on paper.

Looking for a new phone. Been using an iPhone since release. Had an iPhone 6, it broke.

Things I care about:
battery life; not a deal-breaker.
reverse camera frame rate minimum 60fps
better screen than iphone 6

All I use my phone for is browsing the internet, tracking calories, videos and camera. No games.

I have no idea how much I need to spend to get a better experience than my iPhone, but I suspect based on the limited amount of things I do with it the Xiami note 4 might be sufficient.

I am looking to spend ~300.

>>60545678

Torn between lg G6 and a regular s7

I want the g6 because I've had great experiences with the g3, it's doesn't feel like a cheap piece of shit, and I hate the Samsung bloat ware

I literally only like the s7 for the camera.

Don't want an s8 bc it seems like barely a step up from the s7 and I hate curved screens.

Currently have an iPhone s7+ and I fucking hate iOS.

>dual sim cdma

good luck man. It's hard to find a good dual sim phone on GSM let alone CDMA.

I need a device that's not actually going to be used as a phone and I'm hitting a wall here, I figured someone here would have an idea.

I need something that has decent specs to run miscellaneous games and some gameboy emulators, isn't too ridiculously expensive and has expandable storage so I can offline spotify/netflix to it. Ideally decent rom support with audio patches would be neato but not really necessary.

I mainly use a little cheapo android phone but it can't handle netflix and it struggles with spotify and youtube.

Before someone asks why I'm not just using my phone, I find that my battery life just doesn't handle it and I'm on public transport for about six hours a day away from a power source so having a little entertainment device would be nice and keep my work and procrastination separate.

>>60554210
The G6 is better in every aspect than the S7
Go for it

>>60547025
V20 is a bootlooping piece of shit with a Bloated android skin.

HTC 10 is one of the best built phones ever and is running a near stock android skin.

Shouldn't be hard to figure out which one is the best.

Your palm and fingertips will do unwanted inputs when you use it singlehandedly. Curved screens are the worst gimmick today as they serve no purpose at all except making the side bezels go away.

You get tiny bezels at the price of
Harder to use and handle
More fragile to shock damage
Higher repair cost
Harder to repair
Screen distortion near the sides
Screen reflections at the edges.

Not worth it.

>>60558152
Does this apply to the s8 as well? I was thinking s8 or g6

>>60558189
Yes. It's worse for the s8 due to the screen aspect ratio.

>>60558230
I was going to get the s8 over the G6 but now Im doubting it. What I am concerned about is the screen distortions and reflections.

>>60557455
Apple, followed by Google. Both receive timely updates and have longer support then most other manufactures. A OnePlus should last you a good long while due to community custom ROM support.

Picked up a ZTE Max XL because Virgin mobile gave me a $100 coupon code for a new phone since they're killing the wal-mart plan they had and gave existing customers coupons for new phones (they can keep their old phone though, I just wanted a new phone to dick around with).

It's not too bad, it's better than I thought it would be for a budget phone. Camera isn't the worst thing ever. The version I bought doesn't seem to have much bloatware but the amount of stuff on it eats up 8GB out of the 16GB internal on stock.

My main issue that there's no root available it seems, tried several solutions, none worked. Think I'll keep my old phone for now but I'll switch once a root comes out for this.

What's the best way to stream media from my PC to my Android tablet ?
I know about Plex, but it seems silly to pay for a subscription to be allowed to use an app for something I'm hosting myself. A one-time payment would be just fine.

Older sony xperia had a two contacts on side (more durable than microusb) for this, but they discontinued it in later models.

I have the option to get a free Moto G5 Plus or a Nokia 6, which one should I go for?

Is it just me or does the Axon 7 eat a shitload of RAM when doing nothing? It's using ~50% (2GB) when idling... anyone having a similar experience?

Just found out about the GEOTEL Note. Is it too good to be true? Am I about to get meme'd on ?

What are some phones that work on Verizon for under $250?

I had a Moto G4 Plus and it started randomly shutting down and randomly made the battery go to 0% suddenly.

man, we don't know our shit around here, we just come here to pretend.

Currently using a galaxy s6 on atnt, any suggestions for a good fast phone when my contract is up?

Should I buy a pixel now or wait for the Pixel 2?

>>60571798
imo the current pixel is kinda overpriced, what will the 2 be like presumably?

>>60571951
The Pixel was pretty well received even though it was really rushed. It's reasonable to expect that the design will be improved and given things like water resistance and vastly reduced bezels.

>>60572160
for me the downsides are few, mainly the lack of micro sd slot, but the price is hard to justify

the current pixels are hardly going to get blown away by the next gen as i see it, since there is little room for improvements

>>60572492
The biggest complaints were about the overall design of the phone and the fact that they're always out of stock. Everything else was pretty solid.

Does DNS66 really block most in-app ads?
The developer said himself that it was mostly for browser ads.

I have all my app on my sd card to save room on internal and i got a new phone, is there a way to transfer the app data from the sd card or make it so the new phone recognizes it?
Transferred from a g4 to a g6. I cant use the lg backup app otherwise i wouldnt have this problem

y cant android a2dp sink

Is the moto g4 really plagued with overheating issues or is that just a meme?

So, S8 or G6?
