WHYYYY? That phone has probably the got biggest custom ROM community of any phone, you could be on Nougat 7.1.2 right now

Google Services is preventing my phone from going to sleep and killing my battery life. I've gone from 6-8h SoT to 3-4h SoT. How do I find out what exactly is keeping my phone awake?

Also

Should I get a U11 now or wait till the essential comes out to make a final decision?

>>61120433
If they can add EIS for 4K then maybe it's possible to add it for the telephoto lens too

US, unlocked (no carrier atm). Need a flagship breaker which goes insanely low (about less than $200 would be nice) compared to its features, also a phablet-size would be liked. I was considering purchasing a Moto G5+ (@$230), but is there anything else that could get my attention for less?

Have a OP3T, and want to upgrade to the 5. Should I just wait for the 5T?

ZTE Zmax Pro
ZTE Max XL

I asked this in the last thread but nobody answered, so I'm asking again in this one.
Since the Moto x4 announcement was delayed can we expect a announcement in mid to late July and a release date in mid to late August?
I really wanted the x4 but if it's not out by the end of August I'm going to get the z2 play

XZ compact when?

What is the linux of mobile os?
Ubuntu Touch or should i get a android and root linux kali on it?

>>61121083
Yes, perfectly fine for most stuff phone stuff. Maybe some heavier games won't run at full fps.

>>61121165
IFA 2017

>>61121083
Unless you have some very specific needs, it will be more than enough, also because according to Nokia their products will focus on being as fluid as possible through a clean Android, and will see extensive support with fast and frequent updates.

Also, Nokia 6 is built like a tank, comes with QuickCharge 3.0, and has a fuckhuge battery. The screen is 1080p LCD. Honestly it seems built to last. For the price it's really a decent phone.

I wonder what can compete with it.

>>61121162
Is the G4 Play any different?

>>61121163
No one knows for sure, but I'd be surprised if they don't release Moto X4 by the end of August.

Why the Z2 Play over the regular Z Play though? It doesn't improve much and the battery is smaller, and it's also way more expensive.

>>61121224
>>61121259
Is the Snapdragon 410 different? I'd assume It'd be the same since they're both 4XX

>>61121365
Well it's only 5.0" and it's got the weaker SD410. For the same price you might as well get the Moto E4.

>>61121387
It's quite a bit weaker but fine if you don't plan on gaming much.

lmao OP5 displays confirmed to be assembled in the phone upside down

Chances of OP actually fixing this are about zero.

Why can't google just make the nexus 5 with updated components? I need to upgrade this year but everything seems so shitty in comparison.
>optimal size for my little hands, doesn't feel like I'm trying to hold a weirdly thin, yet too wide tile in my hand like 5.5" phones and up feel like
>great rubbery grippy back.. seriously 10/10, keeps it from sliding off surfaces
>decent camera, decent photos with HDR+
>solid as a rock, withstands 4 years without a case or screen protector, hundreds of drops (I'm just realy clumsy), and quite a few times getting wet
>smaller top and bottom bezels than some new phones
>stock android
>$350

only complaints from fellow handlets I've seen are
>muh front facing speakers because I'm a nigger and can't use headphones
>muh bootloops because it was an LG

Instead I'll end up paying 700-800 dollars for the pixel 2 because it is small, with probably worse specs than the XL2 (dumb) and it will be an ugly dual-toned, fragile, overpriced mess with big bezels, and no 3.5mm jack.

Thanks for reading my blog

Because there isn't barely any profit to be made selling $350 phones.
http://www.androidauthority.com/global-smartphone-operating-profits-q1-2017-777468/

The earlier Google Nexus devices were subsidized by Google and sold at a loss / no profit to increase android market share and app store usage, no need for that now that android is nearing 90% global smartphone market share.

Sorry if stupid, but are there any apps that actually do much w/r/t lowering the temperature of a phone or are they just glorified app managers?

>>61121799
redmi 4x bruh.

anyone here feel into snapdragon meme for getting an update and support ? why mediatek shitter on nokia 3 got nougat ?

>>61121989
it's on battery setting stock os since 5.0, settings - battery - battery mode switch to power save. Power save downclock the cpu and turning off cpu cores.

I think I bricked my phone, I've got a Xiaomi Note 3 Pro, I flashed this firmware so I could install android 7.1:

(won't let me post a link, but it's the kenzo miui firmware: miuifirmware_kenzo_7.5.4.zip)

But now I can't even access fastboot/twrp, the "mi" logo appears very shortly (like 1/5th of a second) when I power up the phone, and then the screen goes black

Any ideas? Did I fuck up this phone for good?

>>61122230
ask in /csg/, they'll know better. doubt it's permanently bricked though.

Hello

Thank you /spg/, the redmi note 4x is pretty decent

>>61119760
Enjoy your broken screen

>>61122125
My S4 is four years old. I'd still use it if it wasn't so painful to use.

>>61122278
I've been running a custom ROM on my OPO for almost two years and I haven't run into a single major bug. If you owned an OPO you'd know the stock ROM is a POS, any custom ROM would be an upgrade to it

>>61119820
>>61119935
>be prepared for lots of lag
>Can't be worse than my cyanogen rn haha

>>61122305
no, you don't need it. Depends on the phone if there's Nougat available or not.

Any tablet recommendations? No games...

>>61122502
usage? budget?

Should I wait until the 4th of July sales start kicking in to buy a new phone?

Since I'm on a budget, would it be better to go with a Samsung S5 or a J7 2016? Or would someone recommend something else that has a similar price and specs that won't break easily

>>61123011
>similar price
budget? country?

>>61123011
Out of the two, the S5 is far better for a little more money. Wasn't it once a flagship?

>>61123053
I'm in the US and I'm looking for ~$200 but cheaper would be nice. Max is $240.

>>61120403
Anyone?

>>61123099
Nokia 6
Moto G5 Plus

>>61121916
decent phone with garbage battery

Would the S5 be a steal for ~$160? It has a Snapdragon 801, 2160p/16 mp camera, and alot of other features

>>61123221
New or used? If used then $160 is a bit overpriced unless it's really immaculate

Also it'll probably be slow on the stock touchwiz ROM so be prepared to install a custom ROM to make it usable

>>61123257
Is there anything else at a similar price which would be better?

>>61123285
new or used? What country/carrier? Wanted features?

>>61123285
Could probably get newer LG models for that price

>>61121111
Yes but even then I would suggest waiting for the OP6 or something else.

>>61123354
Either is fine for me, needs to be in a usable condition though

I want it unlocked and am the same person from >>61121013

This. Get a pixel

Does Snapdragon really have an advantage over Mediatek in terms of software support (custom roms, recoveries, shit like that) or is Snapdragon just a meme?

>>61122125
Year to a year and a half. Sometimes I buy fall flagships, sometimes spring flagships.

Got a Pixel last year, waiting for Pixel 2 this time.

>>61123850
If you upgrade every 2 years that's fine I guess, but compared to how long Apple updates their iPhones, Google went full jew

Anyone else had a Nexus 6p just suddenly die? Like no drops and never got wet.

>>61123967
Google and Huawei are actually being sued for what a POS that phone was
http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/04/20/lawsuit-filed-against-google-and-huawei-over-nexus-6p-early-shutdown-issue-and-bootlooping/

Is buying a phone with 4GB ram a bad investment?

>>61124145
No

>>61124145
Phone is not an investment. It's a tool.
And no, phones are evolving too fast for futureproofing.

>>61124076

Well, my 6p doesn't have either of those problems. It just died and doesn't turn on.

Looking for advice. Looking to upgrade. I'm on Verizon. I just want the best phone I can get. I was thinking the Galaxy s8 but i don't know if it's just a meme and I also work on a construction site so the durability has me a little worried.

Any advice on what I should go with?

>>61121799
My Nexus 5 is still running and is still totally viable current day; I know the feeling, and always wanted a real successor to it myself.

Ultimately, I bought a Sprint HTC 10 for around 220 dollars used in very good condition.
Very solid build, high end hardware, great camera, chamfered back gives an oddly good grip, unlockable bootloader that keeps warranty (and S-OFF sadly for a fee) with good ROM support, Sprint variant can easily be GSM unlocked via software, and size is much more manageable than many other new phones and isn't too much bigger than the Nexus 5. Bonus points for SD card slot and top notch headphone output.

I don't regret getting it instead of the Pixel at all, especially for the price I got it used; It's the closest thing to a Nexus in my mind besides the uninspiring Pixel, honestly.

>>61123606
What's wrong with the phones already suggested?

For ~$200 used I'd look for
LG G5
HTC One M9
Nexus 6
Galaxy S6

>>61124189
So I shouldn't that a phone doesn't have at least 6GB?

So I'm fucking around with my backup BLU Life One X2 trying to unlook/twrp/root/possibly ROM, but I'm having issues when trying to unlock the bootloader through adb
I got the instructions from blox2.com, but when I try to use "fastboot devices" after adb reboot, nothing shows in the command prompt

So what I'm wondering is this happening because the phone is encrypted? Do I have to wipe the phone then follow the steps again?

>>61124267
S8 is probably the worst phone you could get in terms of durability

>>61124342
To add to this, I have it setup where you have to enter a PIN to get it to bootup

>>61124342
Have you installed usb drivers for the phone? Does it show up on windows anywhere after you've done the "adb reboot bootloader"

>>61124426
No, when it's on the BLU white boot screen it's not recognized

>>61124426
>>61124437
But the USB driver is installed

Dammit samsung

When is the 3T getting another price drop? There's only a 40 dollar difference between it and the 5, wtf.

>>61124491
Yeah I followed that too already, that's why I'm wondering if the encryption is getting in the way, especially the PIN to bootup

>>61124514
OP3T Isn't getting a price drop, it's been discontinued by Oneplus

>>61124306
Depends what you do, how bloated the phone is. I'm not experiencing problems with 2GB of RAM, but with Samsung's TouchJizz or if I did more than web browsing and watching vids it could be to little.
4GB is generally enough. If you want to stroke your e-penis, be my guest buy some 8GB RAM phone.

>>61124542

Really? Goddamn. Well, I guess I'll just get a 5 then.

>>61124516
In my experience, if it's not showing the problem is usually that the driver either isn't installed correctly or not at all.

When the phone is in the bootloader mode, plug it in the pc and see if it appears in windows device manager or not.

>>61124575
>not showing up

>>61124575
I'll check it out

>>61119760

They're launching the Moto Z2 with SD835 soon

Why is the iphone SE the best cheap flagship phone right now?

>>61126136
I don't think you understand what a flagship is

Should I go Huawei P9 or P10 lite? Would I even notice a difference in performance? I like the camera on the P9, but I'm worried about it being slightly older, will it still be supported/updated for the next 2 years?

I want to purchase an S7, one that can be unlocked or is already unlocked. I want it to work with all major USA carriers and any popular Japan ones, as I am going to Japn in the common months. Does the AT&T or T-Mobile work worldwide? Thank you.

>>61126214
Neither of them will be supported that long, it's still android don't forget that

>>61126214
Huawei P9 is better in every way

>>61126242

I mean those are my options, or Xperia XA1 or X compact, coming from an Xperia Z3 so I'm already probably unsupported desu - leaning towards the P9 as it'll probably be the best given I don't really fancy a compact and it's better than the XA1 or X compact or Galaxy A3

>>61127527

>>61119630
At this point Applel could legitimately sue OP and i'd hope they'd destroy OP.
That company has gone from good to bad to wtf is that gay shit. FUCK OP.

>>61127059
Or a good alternative with similar features?

>>61122125
I don't think I've kept any phone more than 16 months. The longest I've gone was between the Moto G3 and the Moto G5, in other words December 2015 to April 2017. I got the G5 mostly because I wanted Nougat and because of the /g/ hype. Otherwise there was nothing wrong with Marshmallow.

Before that I had a succession of shitty Android phones stretching back to 2011. Longest of the bunch was probably a year, shortest was 3 months, although in my defence that one was stolen while I was on da bus. Average was about 9-10 months or so.

>>61127480
If you want something with a better chipset, don't bet on them making it smaller.

>>61127753
>similar features
what exactly is it you're after?

I just got an S8 for free. Friend did the buy one get one free deal at T-Mobile. This phone is great but the screen is so fucking awkward.

>>61127844
A stylus phone with microSD support, 5in minimum screen size, good resolution, and multi-window support.

>>61126228
Im not sure about art. But I was in the same situation with tmobile. It's unlimited in Japan but the connection will be slower. Probably around 3G tops

>>61127926
>A stylus phone
Galaxy Note phones are pretty much your only option then. LG has a few stylus phones but they're pretty shit.

Is there anything better then Axon 7 for 300£ (Under 400$)?

>>61128177
No

People are so hyped about the Nokia 6, isn't the 5 a better choice, considering that it's a bit smaller and cheaper?

>>61128117
Fair enough. Best place to buy a Galaxy Note 4? 5s don't have the SD card slot I need.

>>61128219
I'd prefer it simply for the size, however the 6 (and especially the arte black version) will have more RAM (3/4 vs 2)

>>61128255
Dont think it's sold as new anymore as it's quite an old model, have a look at eBay / Craigslist / your local classifieds for what's available

So has Microsoft given up on Windows Phone or what

>>61128265
Is that really so offputting if you're not playing games on the phone? Also, wouldn't more ram be wasting more battery?

Are Huawei phones a meme or not? My dad is looking for a new phone, likes iOS, had to get rid of a iPhone 5S because the screen was too small. Budget of around £250. I think he's used them in shops and likes them, but doesn't like Android as much, and is thinking buying a chinkshit brand could be trouble. He'd get a iPhone 6 but they are too expensive.

Meme or no meme?

no, it doesn't work that way

He barely uses a phone so can't justify the expense.

Have been on the fence between S8, G6, and OP5. Went to Best Buy today and checked out the G6 and S8. I don't like the S8's software; I feel like I'd have to relearn everything, and I'm worried about the bloat slowing the phone down more over time. I like the G6 overall, but I kinda dislike how the camera app hides the button bar at the bottom. I'm used to hitting "home" when I have the camera app open on my OP1.

Overall, though, I think the G6 is the best fit for me. It's a little more than I wanted to spend, but it should last a long time.

Is redmi note 3 still worth buying or should I only be looking at redmi note 4? Is Lineage on these things? Mediakek still shit?

Am tired of LG G3 and it's bullshit.

Received my Galaxy s8+ yesterday, it is great. Battery life seems extra long.

>>61129346
No. Yes. Yes. Yes.

>>61129346
RN3P owner here. There is Lineage available for the Pro/Snapdragon version, but I can't be arsed to download the official chink flasher application and MIUI is pretty nice if you disable the insane "kill any app not currently being used" rule of memory management. Other than that it's pretty good, keep in mind that my last phone was an Xperia SP whose touchscreen would constantly get sticky and require a hard reset, so my bar is not all that high.

Are there any good screen protector for the galaxy s8+? I'm using spigen neo flex but it has the orange Peel effect and feels too rubbery.

>>61129395
>my bar is not very high
Neither is mine. Only reason I'm wanting to replace the G3 is because I've already replaced the digitizer twice because it fails from bad heat management. Basically as long as it will allow me to install TWRP/LOS, scroll through Clover relatively smoothly, and play audio/video without stutter it is good enough for me. Don't use my camera or anything else.

I have an s7 edge but I almost regret not waiting for it.

Only thing is the screen doesn't seem as nice as the OLED ones on galaxys and pixels. If they screw up the 8's design this year it may still be one of the best iPhone's though and still seems like a great phone.

I took the plunge and bought an unlocked G6. About $550 and then $75 worth of accessories (microSD card, wireless charger, case, screen protector, car charger).

I'm just worried there'll be a sale in a few weeks where it's $450 or something.

U.S., StraightTalk (pretty versatile, AFAIK)

My main thing is, I want to do retro gaming emulation. Up to N64, would be nice to go further, but not needed. I vaguely understand that 1440P starts pushing phones harder than needed. I also don't want to spend a hilarious amount of money - I don't mind spending for something good, but I'm not going to pay $300 or $400 more just because there's a logo or name on it. I definitely don't think I need anything new.

Specs:
Around 1080P, preferably right at
Snapdragon 820+
Adrenos GPU's have 3D issues, but will do anyway
Micro/SD card slot (yes, I know I'll have to set all save files to internal memory)

The current recs I have are:
LG G5/6
Samsung Galaxy S7
ZTE Axon 7

My S5 went kaput days ago, and I can't

Guys, I want an Android phone with a good camera. Please don't tell me I'll have to go Samsung.

I got an Xperia Z3. I love the phone but the camera sucks. Was looking to check out the newer Sony phones but if the camera still disappoints I'm gonna have to look elsewhere. Never going back to iPhone.

Have had my Oneplus One for three years, I think? I got it right after it was released.

I would have waited longer to get a replacement, but CyanogenMod really fucked up one of their updates and the bluetooth and wifi have been iffy ever since.

the moto Z play is 250 euros today on the german Amazon.

Should I get it over the G5 plus ?

I'm short on money, going to China in one month, just want a good frontal camera, don't need to take selfies and play shitty game (shadowverse).

What should I buy?

Using the iPhone 7 Plus and the S8+ (Lol touchwiiz) but android isn't my thing anymore.

>Customization
After some time you come to the point that you don't give a shit about customization, I wasted hours doing 50+ klwp setups from scratch and selling them on the play store, trying basic nova+icons setups but nothing was enough. It was just boresome and even when the /wg/ love to suck my dick because of my setups they are just a waste of time.

>Syncing
With Android I need to drag and drop each folder of music (currently have 20000+ songs inside my phone), it used to take me hours of fiddling with windows explorer and foobar to find every album and then move it to /music/.

Now on iTunes I just select the artist and the phone syncs everything by itself.

>Video importing/exporting
4K video compatibility is easier, I can export and import on the go if needed and iMovie allows me to upload videos directly from my phone to FinalCutPro or the desk iMovie version.

>General apps
Modded apps on android are great, I miss the modded Spotify with all premium functions for free but that's it. Now I don't need to spend money on klwp themes, utility apps or icon packs anymore and I pretty much only have YouTube installed on this iPhone.

>Storage
The S8+ only gave me 64gb onboard + 128gb (>buying a 256microsd). However Android has this big problem when it comes to internal and external storage making it a pain between apps and file managers.
The iPhone gives me 256gb on the go plus 256gb on a case + the chance of adding an external sdd drive for movies and general media consumption.

However I think phones are just for calls and everything else is nothing but a fashion statement.

Doesn't matter which one do you use, at the end of the day you are nothing but another consumer that forgot that phones are supposed to make calls and texts.

Is there a decent phone out there with a big ass battery, no more than 5" because I don't need a fucking tablet, a proper CPU that gets 3rd party support and ROMs, and possibly a shitty GPU for greater power efficiency because I don't need to decode 1080p vids nor play shitty phone games?
