Regarding these lads and the V20/ HTC 10

Can I get some reasons why the HTC 10 is better, and good in general?

>>61494351
Makes an ok poorfag phone now that it's selling at ~$110.

>>61494373
the red one looks awesome and it still has a headphone jack

>>61494373
It was good back in the day. However it has been dropped lately since htc has gone full shill with the htc u11.

Sense ui is mediocre, and lacks of innovative features.
Camera is meh
Audio is good, not as good as the u11
Stocks apps are killed in the latest update

Build quality is great. The metal is way better then the u ultra and the u11

Has anyone here actually had a v20 that bootlooped?

>>61494472
Only enough people to sue lg you special snowflake

How can i get in on that lawsuit? Does my v20 have to have already bootlooped?

>>61494373
Smartphone fixman here.
While I don´t know the technichals of all the HTC series and devices, as they are not as popular where I live, I do think their flagship series are better in the long run hardware-wise for build quality and materials used, an aluminium 1 piece case will disperse heat more effectively than a plastic one, resulting on a more durable solder on the inside and will prevent from dust and shit messing the insides (conector ports, camera lenses, audio jacks, etc) at the cost of easy user repairs. Then again, only units I´ve seen are the Htc one series and some other devices that friends cop, and also , it will rely heavily on how the manufacturer handles software and updates for the hardware.
An example of this is Apple only having to design software and the whole OS for a single """"High end"""" Flagship line, resulting in the "Just werks" and repairs only applied on broken screens and overall user stupidity.

>>61494431
>lacks """innovative features""""
Fucking samshills thinking no one would recognize your shill points

>>61494488
99% of those are people with LG G4, V10 and Nexus 5X. G5 and V20 is nowhere near as likely to bootloop.

>>61494551
Hahahahahahahaaa

>>61494551
This
The law firm that started the suit had to send out a """""survey""""" of V20/G5 owners to see if any of them bootlooped and that was back in March with no word about it since

>>61494472
The problem is related to the Snapdragon 808 Soc. Lg v20 shouldn't bootloop in the same way.

This, LG used a similar motherboard construction on the LG G4, V10 and Nexus 5X (all SD808 phones). LG G5 and V20 don't have the same defect.

>>61494583
The difference is that literally all G4, V10 and Nexus 5X produced before a certain date will eventually bootloop because they all have the same hardware defect. It's a completely different story for the G5 and V20, it's very unlikely either will bootloop.

Shit review. He doesn't say why he thinks the SD430 is bad. Also there's plenty of other phones using similar SoCs in the price range. At least with the Nokia you get stock bloat-free android with fast updates (which isn't even mentioned in this shit rant video even though it's Nokia's main selling point (

>>61494980

EMMC5.1 was only in the early production models because of a shortage of UFS memory. If you buy now you're pretty much guaranteed to get UFS.

>>61495114
SD430 is more than powerful enough to not lag in regular use. There's not huge difference to the SD625, in Antutu is only about 45k vs 63k

>>61495092
The 430 is bad because

Looking for a new phone in the US, AT&T is my carrier, and I'm willing to go used.

$250 budget, not looking for a large phone, don't care about the camera, but I do care about battery life and a snappy response. Android only. My last phone also died because the charging port went bad, so USB-C only.

>>61496190

>>61497308
>take into account the faster you charge your battery, the faster it shall die do to lithium oxidation.
So it will live longer if I use the 0.35A piece of shit? Not a problem since I charge overnight.
(Charging overnight is no longer bad for batteries, right?)

>>61497285
No idea

>>61497308
>check the datasheet for the chip that handles charging with Device Info HW app
It doesn't tell me max charge speed that is safe.

>>61497359
yes but 350 mA is quite suicidal since the charging time is something like 8 hours

but, if you sleep that much, yeah

the 1.5 A charger is fine for that battery if you can somehow dissipate the heat.

if you don't leave your phone on 100% charge like 2 hours in the wall socket, that's fine.

that also reduces the lifetime

>>61497471
look in General > Charge and google whatever it says + datasheet

>>61497484
>if you don't leave your phone on 100% charge like 2 hours in the wall socket, that's fine.
I've been doing that with my previous phone for two years. Is it really that bad? I though it cuts the current internally or something.

>>61497560
It isn't. You're right, the current gets cut at 100%.

Galaxy A7 or moto G5 +?

Why is the Moto G5+ so recommended here? Is it that nice of a budget phone?

>>61497648
Yes
>>61497631
Moto

>>61497560
there's no implementation to cut the current to the battery.

it keeps forcing it to stay fully charged

>>61497648
Unless you demand NFC, the 64/4 model sits very sweetly on the budget-midrange fence and will probably hold up for a few years.

>>61497663

it's called trickle charge

when the battery reaches maximum charge, rated by the cell's maximum voltage, the charge chip or the PMIC in this case sends small ... pokes of current to the battery, at maximum voltage with minimum intensity (something like a few miliamps).
otherwise, if the charger totally disconnected, even with the phone turned off, the phone's clock would drain the battery to something below 100%

>>61497750
fuck, it took me some time to find it

seems it's a "PM8926" rated at 1.5 Amp either on the usb input either on the output

it's programmable, so the output current could be max or lower, as the manufacturer did it

You're not getting it unlocked unless you're FBI

>>61498257
main issue is heat from the charge current not really current intensity. if it doesn't heat at 1.4 amp it's fine also.
a normal 5-700 mA charger should do fine

battery life is reduced by normal charge/discharge cycle

under constant high stress, such as very fast charge/discharge, constant charging, a lot of heat... both the cathode and the anode get oxide on them .. more than they would get under normal operation

lithium batteries die by filling themselves up with junk/oxide up until there's no charge to hold or conduct by lack of free material or contact.

so constantly charging it only creates a little more of oxide

>>61498426
And the FBI pays more than the price of the newest iPhone to unlock.

Can you guys help me with my autism?

I want a good phone with a curved back and good battery life. I'm currently using a Redmi Note 4X and as much as I love the perfect balance of decent performance with great battery life, I can't stand the way it looks in my front pocket. I carry my phone on the left front pocket of my pants and the phone it's kinda flat so it looks like I'm carrying a block of cheese or something, the bulge is too apparent even if the edges are actually more curved than other phones.

I even took out my old and fat gen 1 Moto G and that thing dissappears to the eye because of the curved back I assume. Considering I hate the look of the Moto G5 what would be a good phone to solve my first world problem?

Well lads, it finally happened. My Nexus 5x bootlooped and is ded. I actually really liked that phone.

Thankfully I have my trusty Nexus 5 to use, and Google is sending me a refurbished 5x with expedited shipping.

Just wanted to say if this happens to you, follow up with Google. My 5x has an unlocked bootloader and they didn't care.

now im not picking sides, but you see the difference between apple and android is the capitalistic advantages, in apple you get a better build quality better specs, but the thing is that they have a risk of over heating because of the idiots that abuse them and wreck them, thats the good thing about apple stores you get to bring it in but they charge you out the ass but you still get support you need, now with android i like android myself owned a few things but with them you get a good quality phone with good specs but its maintained and hardly catches on fire unless your a moron like apple users, when you break your android you pay for another one unless its samsung or lg or you go to best buy.


tldr: apple people are morons but you get to fix your phone and android users are slightly smarter and dont break there phones as much, they know when the phone is overheating or when to put it away.

Those phones have pre-rooted ROMs. The game won't start if it detects such ROMs. Unsurprisingly enough the chink version of that game doesn't care about root.

Metal blocks radio transmission but is nice to hold and durable

Glass allows rf transmission and is nice to hold but is brittle and might crack if you drop it

Plastic allows rf transmission, and is durable and flexible so makes the phone more drop resistant. It has fallen out of favour with manufacturers as the 'cheap' option.

>>61503463
So technically plastic is the best of both worlds, but since it doesn't give the "premium" feel to the user it was relegated to the lower end of the smartphone lines.

So, a longtime S7 user. Used Lineage OS on it, but I need a new one. This time I dont really want to drop too much cash on it, since I dont really need a high power phone (I only check mails, use whatsapp, no high resolution games, though fast and good looking screen for youtube and netflix is a plus). This time I only want to drop around 200 euros (german btw), have been looking at the Nokia 5. Is it really good? Stock Android is really a main selling point for me.

Or is there something else out there? The LG Stylus 2 looks pretty good too, always wanted a S-Pen.
