Currently have an iPhone 6 and sick of the lack of customization, will a Moto G5 be a performance downgrade from it? I want a removable battery so the G5 Plus isn't an option.

What can /spg/ tell me about the Zuk edge? worth it for around $250? or are there better options i need band 4

I want a phone in the UK. from 150-400. Where do I buy phones. pls respond

>>61059499
>Seriously though, you'll be playing the waiting game indefinitely if you work that way
I don't know anon: every time I see a new product there is always that something that sets me off:
>Galaxy S8
>curved screen, bloated android, bad durability (glass not protected by the frame)
>LG G6
Old processor, dual camera with wide angle instead of zoom, bad durability (glass not protected by the frame)
>OP5
1080p PenTile AMOLED, unstabilized cameras, no IP68, no SD card slot, shady company that cheats on benchmarks
>Everything that doesn't have a 3,5mm jack

Fuck, I know I'm picky, but it's my precious neetbux, and I won't be able to afford a new phone for another three, maybe four years, and I don't want to waste them on a half ass product that will shit itself in less than that time, or will brake because it slipped from the sofa and fell for 40cm and got the screen cracked from the impact with the carpet.

>>61059747
What's your usage? Wanted features?

>>61059704
Well yeah obviously a big performance downgrade. If you don't play games it's fine though. Just don't expect iphone smoothness.

I lost my Mi5 and I'm wondering if I should get a new one or if there's something better now at the same price range. Is the Redmi a lot worse?

>>61059761
I want to browse 4chan and to play PS1 games, maybe PSP too.

>>61059747
>>61059787
Lenovo P2 from Carphone warehouse.
Maybe you'll manage to find OP3T for 400 quid.

>>61059761
Also I just want to pay and go

Should I buy the Moto Z Play right now or wait for the Moto Z2 Play? I'm thinking of the former because of the battery downgrade.

When will the X4 be released?

>>61059818
Okay I checked my local 3 store but they didn't have it in stock, I'll try carphone warehouse. Is the Lenovo P2 good?

Is there a way for me to reset my phone to exactly the state it was when it left the factory? Including:

>all settings reset
>all files deleted
>all apps and files that were on day 1 on it are back

I want to do it in case I fuck anything up and uninstall some crucial apps or delete files.

>>61059767
Don't play any games aside from some old emulatable RPGs, a friend has a A5 2017 that sometimes stutters when playing PSP RPGs. I just want a good video player like mpv, open source apps just a fuck ton of customization. Only normalfag thing I do is Instagram so having a worse camera than the iPhone 6 kinda sucks, but not a deal breaker.

>>61059895
Yeah, it's pretty great.

OP3T is better but more expensive.

Also look into Moto G5/G5+.

>>61059882
The rumour is it will be announced june 30th so in a few days. When it will actually available I don't know.

>>61059818
>Carphone Warehouse
as far as I can tell they don't have it but Three has it for £200, it's not SIM locked either

>>61059999
Pretty good deal.
This or G5/G5+ should good enough for your needs.

>>61059835
Z2 Play is way too expensive for the specs it has

>>61060022
>>61059999
>>61059938
Thank for the help, If I can't get the OP3T then I'll go for the P2

>>61059938
Thinking about going for the OP3T it's £320 on gearbest. Is gearbest trust worthy? It's the gold one.

>>61059758
XZ Premium?

>>61060055
Yeah, but it will take 3-4 weeks to arrive from China.

>>61059901
Factory reset from the settings, you have to tick the box to format the internal storage too

There's most likely a way way to flash the stock ROM on the phone too

>Note 4 usb port fucked up for the third time

Gonna kms, bros

>>61060136

>flash the stock ROM on the phone too
That's what I'm currently looking into. But is there a chance that it won't restore all of the apps that came with it? Because I remember uninstalling some system (is that how you call them?) apps and now I'm afraid that it's forever gone.

>>61060035
Ideed.
Is there something else (with similar specs) I should consider other than the Z Play?

>>61060175
Lenovo P2 or Redmi Note 4, both have SD625 and hueg battery.

>>61060173
The system apps are in the stock ROM so they will be restored when you flash it.

>>61060259

Praise the lord. Thank you.

Whats this boards opinions about the s8? If I can afford it should I get it?

>>61060360

>>61060314
Not as big of a blunder as the OP5

>>61060399
I had the sany z4c for 2 years now, but its broken now and I need a new phone.

>>61060408
For example?

>>61060078
If it's like the XZ, then the structural build quality is abysmal. Also, it's way overpriced, and out of budget.

>>61060462
Essential phone. Doesn't ship outside America.

>>61060501

>>61060462
>>61060399
Wil the s8 ever get android 7.1?

>>61060314
it hasn't even released yet and I already think it's just as big of a blunder as the OP5

>>61060640
I mainly use phone for browsing internet (Google Chrome, clover, etc), and for whatsapp and viber. I rarely play games on phone and mostly of them are 2d. I also use camera a lot but not sure if it's good enough.

>>61060672
I don't know personally, but I'm very sure it will get it soon since it's a new phone anyway.

>>61060724

>>61060765
I am not familiar with samsung's support for devices. I do not follow the smartphone scene to closely, but do they have a history of just dropping support for their phones?

How well will the Xperia XZ line work on Verizon?

>>61060861
>but do they have a history of just dropping support for their phones?
yes, but it's a common thing for Android in general

>>61061048
Not at all

I need a new phone. What do I think of the OP5?

>>61061071
Hmm. That sucks. Whats the latest on the pixel 2? Do we know a release date? My current phone is broken, so I am keen to buy something.

If my phone is working fine for me, there's no need to replace it until it dies, right?

>>61061158
Really? It has all the bands required and I already have an active Verizon SIM. It should work as long as I don't go to east bumblefuck where there is no coverage at all.

>>61061237
probably overpriced crap again. I wish Nokia would hurry up with their US release

Looking for honor 5 owners. Let me know how you like it - what would you change?
Is it enough power for yo?

>4.7"-5.2" no more no less
>Metal
>Little or no branding on front (i.e. chrome text logo of manufacturer)
>Has buttons in the chin or virtual buttons and small chin
>Nice to look at
>Fingerprint
>Can install different rom
>Performance on par with iphone 6 or better
>Sub $300

Does this phone even exist /g/?

so, I don't play games on my phone, I don't want a fingerprint sensor, I do want something with quick response and reasonable storage, preferably pretty close to stock android. I don't care too much about the camera, I care very much about build quality, what should I get for less than 400 USD?

>>61061237
Well the release date will be around the same time as last year, so october or something.

Why doesn't this fucking phone exist /g/??

>>61061397
Good luck finding a phone without a fingerprint reader that isn't either ultra low budget, or old as fuck

Sending my OnePlus 3 in for repair and going to sell it. Is their any decent GSM budget phones that cost in-between 50-80$ that doesn't have notable Android Lag™. Last budget phone I had was a Moto E, and it had like .2ms input lag after any screen input is registered.

>>61061893

You'll regret it

I'm in the US with Verizon and I want to get a new phone. Looking for something with a decent camera and battery life, microSD slot, and preferably something I can also use in China and Europe with their carriers (which I feel is unlikely given past experiences), any suggestions? Looking for stuff on the cheaper end that meets these conditions and it looks like something from Xiaomi is probably going to be my best bet.

>>61061995

What's the go to in android tablets these days?
My Nexus 7 (2012) can barely hold a charge and I need a replacement.

When I do

pm list packages

it doesn't show all apps that are installed on my phone. That includes apps that came installed with my phone, not just apps I installed manually.
Is there a way for me to list all apps?

I want to cleanly uninstall some things I don't need. I can see the APK files in /system/etc/product/applications, but is removing that APK file enough to remove the app?

>>61062246
How legit is that information though?

>>61062281
As legit as any you're gonna get.

>>61062281
Geekbuying and Honorbuy are saying they'll have it back in stock at the beginning of next month so I think it's legit

>>61062266
Try following this
https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/6ftg72/want_to_completely_disableuninstall_those_pesky/

>>61062454

Thanks.
It's exactly what I've been doing. The "pm list packages" doesn't return the name of all the programs. Well, maybe it does, but they're cryptic. I am afraid to remove stuff randomly though.

>>61062635
What exactly is it you want to remove?

>>61062738

A few things:

>facebook
>something called "messenger"
>sony select
>timescape
>xperia link

I just tested flashing the stock firmware on my phone and it seems to restore the things I randomly uninstall, which is good. I guess I can just try to find those things by trial and error.

Hey /spg/ I'm about to buy a redmi note 3 and had a question about the "special edition".

I have two options:
>3gb ram and mediatek helio x10
>2gb ram and snapdragon 650 (special edition)

Which would you choose? The snap 650 performs about 50% better on benchmarks, but this version has 1gb less RAM than the other.
I've had issues in the past with 2gb not really being enough but I had a phone with a locked bootloader and touchwiz - thinking I could deal with 2gb with the right rom.

Both phones can be had for the same price.

>>61062954
neither, get redmi note 4

>>61062871
I think the idea is to use the grep command to search for specific apps so

pm list packages | grep 'facebook'
pm list packages | grep 'sony'

>>61062954
Redmi Note 4 Global is the one you want, redmeme 3 is old

>>61062970
5.5" is a deal breaker. Really don't want to go over 5"

>>61063023
Redmi 4 prime then and your redmi note 3 is 5.5'' also

>>61063023
Redmi Note 3 is 5.5" too you retard

>>61062982

Yep, tried, but still no results. I also made sure to use the -i flag with grep, no dice.

when is the redmi note 5 coming out?

>>61063185

>>61064274
I rather get 4000-5000mAh battery and it's better for longer even after battery degrading.

Anon, plz advise:
~ 1080p (or better) display
~ microSD slot
~ Removable Battery
~ 3.5mm headphone jack
~ Cost up to $400-500.

>>61066144
We're at a point where even midrange chips can easily handle pretty much anything you'd want to do on your phone. You'll really only see a difference in more demanding games or emulators. I'd pick a SD625 over a SD820 any day as I'd much rather have better battery life than more fps in games.

Good evening, /spg/. I'm looking for a budget smartphone for AT&T in the USA. Ideally I'd like to get a chinkphone. The only things I really need out of a smartphone is a good camera and decent battery life, I don't want to have to charge in the middle of the day. I know the Xiaomi 6 and the OP5 both support the AT&T bands but holy shit I'm not trying to drop $500-600 on a smartphone.

If you are so hell-bent on getting smaller bezels that you have a camera poking out of the middle of the screen, using software keys and moving jack to top would be better. Same size, actually useful screen.

Anyone have this fucker? How's AT&T service in the US?
I want to use the 4g I pay for.

>>61068270
how about not paying for 4g?

>>61068270
AT&T uses bands 2, 4, 5 and 17 for LTE, with 17 being their main LTE band. Out of those bands the Redmi only has band 4. So my guess is you'd be on 3G most of the time.

Check out LeEco if you want a chinkphone with full support for AT&T.

Does anyone here know how to get files from a galaxy s6 with a broken screen? Its password protected, no usb debugging, and the s5 was the last phone in the series that Samshit enabled OTG on, so no luck there. Is there some kinda magical invasive program that will extract my files for me? Or am I screwed.

>get a new screen hurr

no

Pic reeeelated, my emotions rn

>>61068440
I had this exact issue recently and the solution was to install the board on a device with a working display (this type of phone can't easily replace just lcd - glue, glue everywhere).
Not having USB debugging kinda fucks you

>>61068479
To clarify the device I worked on had the glue. Not the s6. But it was a samsung, so maybe not much has changed.
Unfortunately the samsung displays are rather expensive.

>>61068440
>He didn't enable developer options

>>61068440
Use Samsung's Find My Mobile site to unlock the phone

>>61068479
>>61068494
>Install the board on a device with a working screen.

So a different s6?

>>61068509

Learned my lesson.

>>61068512

Tried that already, no luck.

>>61068596
You might find if you open your s6 that it would be difficult to install a new lcd without breaking it. This is because samsung uses a mfg process that sometimes includes gluing the chassis to the back of the display.
Then they take that piece and clip it onto another chassis with the mobo, outer bezel, buttons etc.
It was cheaper to buy low quality used device than a new lcd, so I did that. Screen was scratched but that's no matter.

>>61068672
Yeah I pulled it apart when the screen first shit out on me. I'll ask locally whether anyone I know has an old one the'll let me borrow, the goal is to save shills, thats the only reason I havnt bought a new screen. Buying a scratched/broken but operable one is a smart idea, though.

Need a reco for US/AT&T w/4G.

Currently have Galaxy S5 that is locked down to shit and I'm sick of the bloat and it doing things I didn't ask it to do.

Need something low budget, performance-wise a sidestep would be fine, I just don't want to go backwards, and that has some solid minimalist custom ROMs. Not opposed to chinkphones or buying used.

Previously I had an SIII with Cyanogenmod (or some fork, can't remember) and loved it.

Budget is not a concern.

>>61068721
With samsung displays, or oled in general, any more force more than what will break an eggshell will break the lcd. They go black on any damage, minor or severe.
The mobo can usually be swapped without risking the display. Good luck anon

how easy is it to install lineageOS and microG?

Depends on phone really. Installing the two is very easy, the possibly hard part is setting up the phone to be able to install those.

I'm going to be upgrading my phone on Monday. I was thinking of getting a Galaxy S8, but I don't really keep up with phone news. Are Nokia's new smartphones for sale yet? Does AT&T currently offer any phones better than the S8? Price isn't a concern.

kek I was about to ask this. I fell for the no gapps meme too.

Enabling signature spoofing looks like a horrible, horrible pain in the ass honestly. Already downloaded the pico gapps package. I'd like to be reachable without having to resort to primitive means of communication such as phone calls and sms.

>>61069357
Honestly if you're using an Android you're already partly owned by Google. No need to push it away. Just embrace it, Cuz in this day and age of the intornetz, Privacy does not exist.

Best phone under $400 with excellent custom rom and kernel development? Need to upgrade my N5 finally.

Need to hide root for an app

What is the least shady app I can download to help me hide root from an app so I can run it instead of getting an error message telling me my phone is rooted?

>>61069560

>>61069693
You need ze Xposed framewurkz

I'm currently using the Motto E, and it's not strong enough to run a dash cam program, and a GPS program at the same time.
I was thinking of upgrading to the Moto G, would it have enough power to do this?

>>61059612
I don't know anything about smartphones. I'm getting a samsung s7 edge. Is it true that I can flash a newer OS onto the phone? Is the process difficult?

Are there any settings or apps or anything that I should focus on as soon as my phone is activated? Any suggestions for a noob?

>>61059712

I just got it two days ago. It's really really fast. Build quality, screen, in hand feel are great. The ZUI software is beautiful but (as expected) super chinky. For example, the contacts/dialer app doesn't sync my Google contacts.

If anyone's got questions ask away.

>>61064580

Redmi Note 4X

Can you buy an unlocked flagship phone and use a prepaid plan on it? Is that too ghetto?

>>61070050

Not at all. Makes good financial sense.

Is the Galaxy S8 really my best option here?

Looking for:
>smaller screen 5.5" and under
>good AMOLED display
>good battery life
>potentially root in the future
>not ugly

I don't really have a budget, although as a leaf I'd prefer not to get fucked up the ass with a $1000 price tag, but it seems like there hasn't been any good phones released in a long time. Currently on an S5 and I like it but it's slowly falling apart and I need to upgrade.

>>61070125
>>smaller screen 5.5" and under

>S8
But given how the phone is designed, the phone itself is smaller or the same size as phones with smaller screens, so whatever

>>61070211
yeah, when I say 5.5" screen I mean I just want the phone to be under 6", so the S8 would work for me still

>>61070245
Well then go for it

You could always check the S8+ at the store, it still feels small

Is the Mi5 too old now? It's only a bit more expensive than the redmeme notes

>>61068006
Worried about the bootloop on this, is it frequent?

>>61070389
I had to get a new one cause of boot loops

>>61061048
How do you like your XZ? I've had a 3ZV for a few years now and really want to upgrade.

What's up lads, been out of the phone loop a lot since buying a Z1 eons ago but it's started to die in regards to battery so I am just looking for a new one

I have a budget of £350 but can stretch it and my only stipulation is decent battery life and a good camera.

Oh and I'm from the UK.

good app for reading manga on an iphone? i used tachiyomi when i was on android

how bloated is the S8 software?

>>61071071
<-------------------> that much.

>>61071103
cheers, might give it a miss

>>61070291
no. it's as fast as an S7

>>61071071
>>61071107
But seriously. It's samsung software. It's hard to find something more bloated.

>>61071103
>>61071132
Will it be possible to flash a different rom and remove bloat and get a stock android experience?

HTC U11, LG G6, S8+, or Xperia XZ Premium?

initially leaned towards the xperia heavily but i tried it out and it was too big for proper one handed usage which was kind of a letdown for me

s8 was perfect but curved screen and eventual slowdown in responsiveness (because samsung) turned me away from it

u11 was pretty decent, looked good and i heard some things about it, but headphone jack

I think I'm gonna get the S8.

I was about to pull the trigger on a G6 today but I tried one instore and was pissed off that:
-the headphone jack is on top
-the LED is gone
-the dual camera only gives a meme fisheye mode and not better zoom
-it's not as comfortable

I know I'm being a fucking retard though, because I can get a G6 at half the cost (grey market) of an S8, but on a 24 month plan I don't give a shit just give me my shitty features that I'm too autistic to do without.

>>61065723
So what do you suggest?

Cant believe I fell for the meme. Want to switch to iPhone but I want to customize my shit. What hell is this.

>>61071441
Will custom ROMs help with the shitty software/bloat?
Also I haven't had a Samsung before, do they really have crashing issues?
The curved edge is a useless meme embellishment that reduces its durability sure, but I'll get a decent case

>>61071612
I just like it to be on the same side as the charging port
That way if I have a portable charger and headphones plugged in I can put it in my pocket without damaging one of the cables

>>61071441

doesn't it have an 835?

>>61071654
>back made of glass that got cracked in the first week
I've had a Phone with a glass back for over a year and it's still in pristine condition.

An IPhone does seem like a better option for a toddler like you

>>61071660
Custom ROMs would help if Samsung didn't lock down the S8's bootloader which makes it impossible to root/unlock bootloader, and yes TouchWiz really is that bad that even though it has an SD835, it does lag
Ignore the Samsung shills who refute this

>>61071818
They still use fucking touchwiz?
Jeez

thinking about getting a oneplus 3 now that the market is saturated with them. is there any significant drawbacks compared to the 3t? i know it has a smaller battery and a slightly weaker cpu, but that doesn't really bother me much

>>61071818
It seems like on xda-dev that its possible to unlock the bootloader?

>tfw 3.5mm jack is the only thing stopping me from getting a htc u11

i keep thinking ive found the phone for me
but after digging deeper they each get knocked out for some shitty reason

does any 2016/17 phone have notification led, 3.5mm, ip68 and a decent camera? seems like the s8 fits but you guys seem pretty anti samsung

>>61071933
s8 design + OP/sony software would be goat

What is /g/'s approved file manager? I quite like Amaze but have noticed a few bugs and don't wanna use ES File Manager because chink bloatware

>>61071975
>S8 design
>curved edges
>all glass exterior
Why would anyone with a sane mind want this? I love the high screen-to-body ratio, but those curved edges are just retarded, and being made of glass means that it really can't withstand too many accidents without cracking.

Hang on..

So the note 8 will not even be stronger than the s8+?

Not even higher resolution screen?

Isn't it big no to buy batteries from chinks? And doesn't they lie about those mAh numbers?
