The rest of you swefags probably know my pain.

I might as well wait for the note 8 or mi mix 2 at this point...

>buying honor
it's doesnt even get lineageos

First time owning a smartphone.

>use adb to uninstall program
Does that mean it's forever gone now? Even when I factory reset it?

>recovery
I want to install one of those recovery programs, like CWM. I can't find any downloads though. Does it have to be specific for my phone or is there a generic one? Is there something better? Because now my phone doesn't have one of those menus when you hold down a specific key combination before turning it on.

>stock firmware
Someone told me that firmwares are usually huge, with everything. I could only find one for my phone (Xperia Ion) and it's around 600MB. Is that the "complete" deal? If I fuck something up, can I just install that one and go back to start?

>>60881250
>reddit

>>60881084
>use adb to uninstall program
afaik if you uninstall a system app it will be gone even after a factory reset. Reinstalling the stock ROM will bring it back though.

>recovery
It needs to be specific for your phone model. For newer phones TWRP is the best one to use, but for older phones only CWM might be available.

>stock firmware
600mb sounds about the right size. Usually (unless you fuck up very badly) going back to stock firmware fixes everything.

The XDA subforum for your model is a good resource for more info, guides, downloads etc.

I'm planning on upgrading my galaxy s4 soon. I was thinking about the moto g5 plus. Is that a good upgrade? I use my phone for web browsing, Clover, youtube, and music (Spotify, SoundCloud, and local). Having a reliable GPS is also important to me and good battery life would be a plus.

Or maybe a oneplus 3? I Dont do much in my phone so I fee like that'll be wasteful

>>60881319

Thanks.
There appears to be only one topic about recovery and they have both CWM and TWRP. Is there a downside to having both recoveries installed? Is it overkill?

>>60880853

can i literally just kill myself there isn't an app or an automation to disable the power button on my yotaphone that the screen goes dead as soon as you turn it off and you have to reboot. even if i wanted to use the power button to work the back screen it would fucking turn the color screen off anyway

Huawei 6P for $350 or Moto G5 Plus for $330?

>>60882102
G5 Plus.
6P has a ton of hardware problems. bootloops, random restarts, horrible battery life etc.

>>60882102
Moto G5 Plus, the 6P has terrible battery life and overheats thanks to the SD810, and it also has bootloop issues

>>60881950
Don't think it makes much difference either way

>>60882102
yup moto has better battery and they are actually known for being antenna producers and comparing this to a startup that china brought out only just recently is laughable

>>60882955
ofc they can, so factory reset it before you give it away

>>60882965

Who is the "startup"? Huawei? They're a massive telecom company with deep ties to the Chinese state. Hardly a startup. And frankly, Moto is just a sub brand of Lenovo at this point, so either way you're getting chinkshit, even if the G5 is superior chinkshit.

>>60882738
Don't forget the weird aspect ratio or the laughably undersized battery.

>>60882955
Yes. Do a factory wipe if you are going to give away your phone.

>>60882995

Look up consumer laws, Mohammed. You must have rights similar to me

At least in Denmark, companies must honor pricing errors unless it is deemed that the customer must have known it was en error. And 170 usd off an s8+ is very much a plausible shock sale

And no. They cant disclaimer themselves out of the fucking law. Although everyone tries because most people dont know their rights

So my Samsung A5 I picked up in Barcelona 2 yrs ago and I've been using with a cracked and retractable screen has finally given out.

Gonna get a Samsung S8/S8+ but one thing I liked about the A5 was the size. Will the S8 feel much bigger? I like to keep these things in my back pocket. I assume the camera much also be better, but the A5 camera was pretty godly

>>60883000

help a phone nub /g/

I'm upgrading on vodafone UK - here are my options:

Galaxy A3
Huawei P9
Xperia XA1
Xperia X Compact
LG G5 SE (not sure the difference between this and non-SE?)
Huawei P10 Light

All of them are 'free' on the contract - so relative costs are no issue

I'm not a real phone power user- mainly for email, gps, web, IRC, camera but not too fussed. I have a passionate dislike for random shitty bloatware etc.

Battery life is important- must be able to last a full day!

I currently have an Xperia Z3 which I really like - the screen is really good (I think?), battery is nice and big and lasts for a while, the general interface + lack of too much bloat is nice as well. However, I would not want a phone that is any bigger than this.

I like the fact that the LG has a removable battery that I can change. I like the smaller size of the X compact but feel like I would miss the extra screen real-estate. I hear that the camera on the XA1 is really good. I've never owned a Huawei, but am not averse to doing so.

Any thoughts /g/ents? What would you get?

My phone (Moto G 3) died unexpectently with no possible fix. I have no backup phone or a smartphone I can loan so I need a new phone ASAP.

What are you guys' thoughts on the Pixel?

Due a phone upgrade next month and on my current phone (Galaxy S6), the fast charging has stopped working, which is fucking annoying.

Other options I'm considering would be Galaxy S8 or iPhone 7. Leaning towards Pixel at the moment because of my familiarity with Android and I want a phone that actually gets system updates when they come out

>>60885441
Honestly, Just get the one of the Nexus phones. They're still good.

>>60884913
A3 (I assume it's the 2017 version): a well built, compact-size phone with a nice AMOLED display, great battery life and waterproofing. Performance and camera are average, and there's only 2GB and 16GB internal storage (there is a MicroSD slot to help with the low storage space). Touchwiz isn't for everyone, there's plenty of useful extra features but also more bloat than your average android skin.

Huawei P9: Huawei's last year's flagship and a great phone all around. Dual rear cameras take great still pictures but average video. EMUI is actually pretty nice for a android skin, lots of extra features without feeling too bloated.

Sony XA1: it indeed has a great camera. Battery life is better than you'd expect with only 2300mah, enough for one day's use but don't expect more than that. Performance is only average. Screen resolution is only 720p (below average for a 5" phone) with large top and bottom bezels. Sony's software is very close to stock with a few added features.

X Compact: A good mid range phone which doesn't really stand out in any way other than it's size. If compact size is your priority you can't go wrong with this phone.

LG G5 SE: There isn't really anything special with this phone. The modular concept didn't catch on so LG abandoned it with the G6. I'd say pass.

Huawei P10 Lite: a good midrange phone on its on rights, but a downgrade to the P9 in most regards. It is newer than the P9 though which might mean it might get supported with android updates for longer.

Who cares about thickness or width? Give me a phone with small top and no bottom bezel already. It would make handling phablets and fitting them in the pocket so much easier.

All this Jewish tricks with thin phones or no side bezels make me mad as hell.

>>60886793
What's a good alternative that has that function??

>>60887007
Why do you need it? It's simpler to have the SD card and internal storage separate. That feature slows the phone down as the microSD card has slower write/read speeds than the internal storage. I'd only use it if you have a small internal storage (like less than 16gb)

Has xiaomi released a phone with all the American bands, or are we still doing the half-ass 1 lte band per carrier dance still?

>>60887058
It saved my fucking life because it's so much simpler to just manage one storage that lasts forever.
Currently using a Xperia z3 full to the brim with apps and stuff

>>60883000
Having owned both an Xperia Z1 compact and an iPhone SE (and having used my brother's Xperia X compact extensively), I can say that the iPhone offers a better overall experience, better build quality and better after sales support, but you also have to deal with iTunes and a generally locked down interface. Android is less frustrating when you want to do slightly unusual things with your phone, iOS is less frustrating for day-to-day normalfag things. They are both good but it depends what you feel is more important to you. Personally I would probably not go back to Android because I feel like the update bullshit and overall jerky, disjointed design outweighed the positives, but your assessment may vary.

>>60883146

Yes, it has terrible battery life, but so does the 6P

>>60881944

This sort of thing happened to me a few years ago here in Canada. Chink audio store took an order for an audio receiver that was clearly way underpriced to get people in the door, then later cancelled my order since the pricing was a "mistake" and tried charging me more. I ended up ordering it from another local shop. After that, I sued the bait-and-switch cunts in small claims court for the difference. It was not a whole lot, like $150, but I won and got costs as well as punitive damages back (because Chinks had no concept of how the Canadian legal system worked and were stubborn... so I ended up getting the receiver for free). The point I am trying to make is, even if these fucks try to get out of their obligations, you can still assert your rights and make them pay for underhanded bullshit. Grow a backbone and read up on how you can hold them to account.

>>60887334
My Z1 was having a few problems. The touchscreen would randomly stop registering inputs at least once per day, and sometimes the whole phone would lock up completely, requiring a restart. This, at first, only happened a few times, but eventually it became a weekly affair and at one point it did that four days in a row. Factory resets didn't seem to solve the issue so I think it was hardware related. Aside from that I was kind of pissed off that the phone wasn't upgraded past Lollipop and received no further security updates- for a supposedly "flagship" level device, less than two years of support is kind of pathetic.

While my brother's X compact seems alright so far, I am personally very reluctant to trust Sony again. And the update issue is something pervasive with Android. Since I generally keep my phones at least 4 years (my last phone before the Sony was a Blackberry Bold, purchased in early 2011), it is important to me that they last. Not only do iPhones seem more durable, they also get updates, which is a huge bonus.

Anyone have any experience with the lesser known Chinese brands?

Specifically Vernee?

I hear some of these Brands are pretty solid (like Cubot and Uhans) but for some others I read bad reviews and issues (UMi).

So anyone know or have experience with Vernee phones?

>>60887553
At least where I live 150€ gets you a used, good condition Galaxy S5.

For the folks looking to buy cheap phones, never ever buy a Prestigio phone, unless you literally like inferior quality and no updates.

>>60887327
How good are we talking for battery? Like what is the SoT? Not the guy who was asking, but I desperately need an upgrade from my Galaxy S3. Camera does not really matter since I have a Canon G11 and a Nikon D800e, both of which take far better photos than any phone camera I've ever seen.

Yes, it's the global version, so it'll work with the US GSM carriers. Make sure you don't get the 4/64 version as it's only the 6/128 one that exists as a global edition.

>>60887949

Yep. Enabling core mode seems to get it working again. No modules while it gets updated, though.

I need something to replace this fucking 6p and its 2 hours of SOT. Fucking chinese batterys never again. Should I get a Pixel or is that gonna be another meme phone a year later?

>>60890170

S8 is aids, especially on Verizon where you'll never ever be able to stray from the massive amounts of bloat or their garbage ROM. The Essential looks like a better phone on paper (and I say this as someone who owns a U11) but it's up to you whether or not you want to place a $700 bet on a completely untested company. As for the U11 it's a really good phone in almost every way assuming you live in an area with good LTE coverage as there's no CDMA support.

Did you get the 2GB ram one? Hows the build quality? There's almost zero info about this phone, does it have a notification led or not? Where i live they only sell the shitty 1GB version, and even if it's cheap it wouldn't be an improvement from my xperia S, having a single GB of ram with an ancient chipset really fucks me over whenever i open the browser and listen to music at the same time, it either crashes or the music player closes, but i don't wanna sink more than 200 dollars on a phone because i almost never touch it, i don't wanna import one from china either, i wish they sold xiaomis here.

>>60890736

>>60890846
Sub 1080p res, tiny screen, very battery efficient albeit poor in performance SoC, 3500 mAh.

What root android OS has good encryption, I only want to use it for texting and phone calls

>>60890736
great specs, great camera, small size if that's your kind of thing, can be found relatively cheap

I want the Jelly android phone, or Pixel with CopperHeadOS

>>60890244

Don't do it. SoT isn't much better on the Pixel XL. I sold mine after under 6 months.

>>60890351
Much appreciated. I guess I'll be leaning towards the U11 over the Essential. I was actually just at Verizon and held an S8. What really killed it for me was the curved screens; fuck that.

>>60890870
>>60890951
Is 64 GB worth it? I can honestly afford it.

>>60891003
depends if you listen to a lot of music. If it's just for photos just back up your phone to your computer.

>>60891003
>>60891033
64gb if you prefer to download all your music and keep a lot of pictures and video on your phone and download a bunch of apps especially heavy games
32gb is pretty good as well, i don't think there's a 16gb version but do stay away from it if there is

>>60890848
Not the same anon but I also have a G4 Play, 2GB model.
It _does_ have a notification LED, but its use is extremely limited - it comes on when charging and...that appears to be it. There are apparently apps on the store, designed for other moto phones, which can give it a bit more functionality. It's weird that there's one at all.
Build quality is alright. It doesn't feel like a piece of garbage, but it is far from premium. The back has a nice texturing to it which helps keep it from slipping.

I installed a custom ROM (LOS 14.1, unofficial) on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x International Edition that was probably made for the SD/China/India/whatever edition, 'cause I can't call or receive calls anymore in my country (only data works). I've already tried other custom roms and nothing worked, so how can I fix my problem? Are there modem files I can install or do I have to flash a specific MIUI version? This shit is driving me crazy.

HOW DO I PROTECT MY S8

Every screen protector is shit. Rode two days without the protector and scratched accrued. And even enjoy my phone because the screen protectors, which don't work, inhibit the display

>>60890846

>>60890846

The screen is 1080x1600 so not subpar.
The screen isn't even that small it just look like it. It's still wider than and taller than the one of a iPhone 5.
The SoC itself is not a powerhouse, yet it can hold up to a SD820 and still be power efficient

The second part about heroin, yes it's till your fucking finger.

>>60894464
No, the Mediatek Note 4 or the Note 4X won't get LTE on any US carrier. Only version that will is Redmi Note 4 Global, and even then it's only partial support (it has bands 2 and 4, T-Mobile uses 2,4,12, AT&T uses 2,4,5,17). Certain MVNOs only use Band 4 for LTE and it's also T-Mobiles main band so I'd only use it on those carriers.

>>60894528
I see a global version for the 4x too, but that wont work?

need advice. My mom needs a new phone, she's not a power user so i'm thinking the Moto G5 but she's currently got an M8 and I don't want to downgrade her much CPU wise.

Stop wearing skinny jeans. All the sperm is going to your brain.

Motorola G5 Plus has no LED for notifications.
Alternatives for this price range without downgrading too much the camera?

Afaik you can make the charging led work as a notification led if you have root. Check out Honor 8 as an alternative (might be a little higher in price)

>faster SoC and has a fingerprint reader
>somewhat brighter and contrastier display but lower density
>no IP68 and memory expandability though
>will get updates for a few more years

I'm currently using this. You can say it's my second Android experience (first one being a shitty Galaxy S4 Replica)

What would /g/ recommend for more productivity? I'm looking for a fast and powerful experience with the decent amount of beauty as the interface.
