Why do chink sites like Ali take 3 fucking days to process your order? What the fuck are they doing over there? Making the fucking thing?

Gonna be a long month, boys.

Are there custom roms for Xperia smartphones? LineageOS only has some pretty old devices on their list.

>>62255888

Nice trips.

I am waiting on my phone that I ordered from AliExpress to get here and it's looking like it will take forfuckingever.

>>62255916

Most, if not all, of the mid-range phones in the Xperia line use Helio chipsets (I think) with only the costly as fuck flagships getting the Snapdragon Qualcomm SoC.

tl;dr there don't appear to be any custom ROMs for the newer Xperias.

Hey /spg/

Would have been great to warn us that Xiaomi are a fuckin hell to unlock/root.

Anyway screen dead after 1 day of use, what should I pick or should I ask for a replacement (Redmi 4x, 105€) ?

>>62256292
mi mix 2?

>>62256336
Forgot to add the fact that it must be 5''
But I'll probably buy the MiMix 2 for my mom.

The unlock/root for Meizu phone looks really easy, any other brand that can do a better unlock procedure than Xiaomi ?

>>62256292
Have you tried relfashing the ROM? That does not look like a hardware fault at all. Also applying for the unlock code is really painless, so is flashing fastboot roms.

>>62256292
see
>>62256423

>>62256457
It's still the stockROM, I'm still waiting for the unlock code and my GF need her phone to work.
So can't reflash.

Painless ? Error message on error message etc
It was piss easy for my Nexus 4 and 5x.

>>62256485
Hum wut ?

>>62256514
I got my unlock code within 15 mins, no error messages at all with the Mi Flash tool on Win7.

Just flash the official global stable ROM once you've unlocked. Cheaper than buying another phone, especially since you dont want to spend a lot, and other phones in that price range won't be better.

>>62256292
Doesn't look like a hardware issue
It's probably a shitty vendor ROM.

Sent from my Note 4x :^)

>>62256592
>>62256598
It's already the official global rom.

>other phones in that price range won't be better
I don't really care for performance it's a facebook machine.

Does klwp break all the time or is it just me?

I can't use the bottom part of my screen outside of the preview mode inside of the app.

I can't find a solution this time.

>>62256638

>>62256628
>>62256682

>>62256628
If it came with global stable, then your bootloader is possibly already unlocked. Reflash it, must have been a dirty flash. My mums MiPad also had ghosting issues until I reflashed the ROM, vendor roms arent always good.

I wasnt talking about performance, I meant software bugs etc. Doogee is not a better brand than Xiaomi, Meizu could be an option but they use MTK mostly.

Nexus 5x finally bootlooped. What's a similar phone that's not a piece of shit?

Which phone has the best camera period?

What are some worthwhile, no-gapps appstore-type places aside from F-droid and Yalp?

>>62256836

Is there any xposed module for android 6.0 that makes navbar full transparent? also which module are a must have?

>>62257047
>LG V30
that uses the same 16MP camera the HTC U11 uses for it's front selfie camera AKA, it's shit.

>>62256716
>Meizu could be an option but they use MTK mostly
Should I avoid MTK Proc ? Why ?

>>62257209

1) you're wrong, the u11 front facing camera is plenty good
2) you're a fag for even caring about the front facing camera

Best launcher?

>>62257271

Because none of the custom ROMs support MTK and the MTK SoCs are garbage tier in terms of performance.

>>62257302
Apex

>>62257368
Well so Meizu is out of the equation.

/spg/, do you carry 5.5'' with you or you leave it at home and bring something smaller ? 5'' seems enough but I see a lot of phone with bigger screen now for the same price.

Recommend 3 phones I can find for less than $150 used on ebay.

How do recent Android phones do with palm rejection during one handed use? Especially curious about bezelless and curved screen phones since those seem like they'd be most susceptible.
My Galaxy S5 is horrendous at it but I also have a 10.5" iPad Pro that does a really good job.

>>62257281
...the problem is LG is using the same sensor in their PRIMARY rear camera, NOT as the selfie camera like HTC are.

>install icon pack that looks p nice

>>62257629

>Galaxy S5 is horrendous at it but I also have a 10.5" iPad Pro that does a really good job

You're talking about a phone released in 2014 vs a premium tablet released in 2017.

Software makes the difference, samsung's current slew of devices (s8, s8+, note8) are all great with palm rejection because they've had several years in which to work out the kinks.

>>62257656
Decent but far from optimal.

>>62257435
It's not so much screen size but physical size. My current Mi5S with 5.15" screen has the same physical height as my old 5.5" LG G3 or the 5.7" LG G6. Choose whatever you like best, screen size is a personal matter, there is no best.

>>62257828
I was thinking in term of size in a pocket, to sit with it, to walk with it yada yada.

>>62257656
It is enough to get you through the whole day? If it is then yeah, it's decent.

>>62257721
Reminds me of when I was leaving the screen on at lowest brightness with pure black just to make opo chills mad thanks amolel

>>62258279

>>62258279
You already know the answer

does the s8's screen really break easily or was that guy memeing?

>>62258635
Just look at how many it's sold, there isn't some wild outcry of broke screens.

He was being retarded.

>>62258653
good point

>>62258653
yeah because every retard that drops his phone reports it instead of just blaming himself for being a stupid cunt who dropped his phone
it's different from having it exploding ya know

When it comes to a phone, what is truly the most important aspects of it?

>>62258853
Depends on the person.

For me it's screen quality and size.

Why do so many of you happily get chinked?

>>62258853
Size and durability (where chinkphones fail) > battery life and SoC performance > RAM size
The rest isn't that important.

camera performance, both rear and front facing. People on /g/ probably don't think much of it but it's one of the main reasons why normies flock to iPhones and shit on Androids. Other than that, there's screen quality, battery life, and overall/day-to-day performance.

Stuck with a family plan on Sprint for the next year. I'm not paying shit for it due to the promotion, so I'm not complaining, but also a privacyfag and looking for a relatively modern phone I can flash LineageOS or similar on and still use on Sprint. Looking for a front fingerprint sensor and a metal body. The sprint website doesn't have anything like this, and usually the Sprint variations of phones don't have root options, in my experience.

>>62263527
Seems pretty good. How many midrange phones (other than Samsung) have IP68 water resistance and AMOLED? A bit disappointing that the base model is only 3GB/32GB though.

Also 399€ is the MSRP but I'm pretty sure it'll drop down closer to 350€ not long time after launch.

There isn't an article, it's the same sensor however. Unless LG is for some reason lying about what exact sensor model they're using.

I'm up for a upgrade at Verizon, what's the best phone to get?

I bought a G4 for $200, put LineageOS on it and it just works.

Battery only last 3 days on low usage though.

>>62265378
Note8, V30, Pixel 2.

>>62265398

Which of those 3 would you recommend?

What does /spg/ think of the Galaxy Tab S3? Is it worth the price point?

>>62265447
I've already orderd the Note8, but they're all good phones.

Note8 is the most expensive but price wasn't particularly an issue in my decision. I'll have the phone for 2 years or longer, i'm willing to pay whatever.

The note8 is essentially the current hardware king. Largest and highest quality display, 6GB RAM vs most phones at 4GB. Snapdragon 835 (the pixel 2 might have the Snapdragon 836 which will be a slight clockspeed bump). And the note8 has my favorite feature for a smartphone, the Spen, a very high quality stylus/digitizer for drawing, games, taking notes, or even signing PDF documents.

If you want most of that in a cheaper package the LG V30 is looking to be respectable as well, but they use an LG OLED panel that is far worse than samsung's OLED screen when compared directly to each other. And the LG camera is looking to be hit or miss, it seems good with video but kinda shitty with still photos.


Pretty much any of the 3 phones are gonna be good.

>>62263354
>Will be available in my country

Anyone know anything about the BLU Vivo 8?

>>62265588
That's easily 200 dollars more expensive than the G6. Not even the guy you're replying to.
>>62265564
How opposed are you to chinkshit? Xiaomi mi6, oneplus5.

I'm looking for a sub 100€ phone for basic usage. Any recomendations ?

>>62265638
It's $100 more on amazon and is far better hardware.

On swappa it's anywhere from $150-50 more expensive depending on version and wear.

What is the cheapest smartphone type android device with a gyroscope and bluetooth? Doesn't have to be a phone, could be a small touch media device, like and ipod touch (but android)

I bought a cheap walmart vr headset to try out, but found out my phone doesn't have a gyroscope, and xposed module virtualsensor doesn't seem to work with vr apps.

I fell for the Oneplus meme

My question therefore is, should I sell my Ideapad and buy a ThinkPad and extra hair for my chin, or is this step skippable?

Literally has a "Gaming Do Not Disturb Mode"...

Why haven't YOU bought the BEST Android phone?

>>62265618
same shit everytime. People buy a device with good build quality that's $250 at release and expect the speed of a $300 device with questionable build that has been sold for half a year.

Don't get memed, The Adreno 505 is about 50% faster than the Adreno 320 in the SGS4 and that phone doesn't lag either, if you get rid of touchwizz that is.

>>62266002
What the shit
What's the point of vr then
The concept is not to just stick a battery, a 7 inch 480x640 CRT display and a cheap gyroscope on magnifying glass and then cramming it on your face. You'd need a decent device for it to work proper, and cheap phones will do you no good. If you desperate, buy a used one.

Cheap smartphones are plentiful if you stop looking at the internet and go outside. I snatched up a Samsung Galaxy A3 for almost no money at a flea market, it was like the equivalent of 5 dollars. Otherwise, if you want to ignore me, literally THE cheapest smartphones are the real chinky ones on Amazon and clickbait cancer apps like Wish, I saw a guy get a hold of a really shit smartphone for 30 - 40 dollars maybe.

Although I'd say it's about time to replace your old phone. Xposed? What are you using, 4.1?

Am I the only one who doesn't fucking care and actually kind of prefers a bit of bezel? All a completely bezelless phone means is that your stupid fat fingers are going to be in the way of whatever you're trying to do. I mean, I don't completely hate it, but at the same time I'm not super fond of the no bezel meme currently sweeping the industry.

My favorite looking phone so far this year is the Moto Z2 and that has plenty of bezel.

No headphone jack though, consider that! Personally I don't have a problem with that, I'll probably get myself a FiiO X5 soon anyway.

>>62267333
I have a Z2 Force with one of the style shells or whatever and while it's pretty easy to get your fingernail beneath the cover and remove it, you pretty much have to be doing it on purpose and it stays on pretty solidly otherwise. I imagine the Z2 Play is the same.

Would it matter a phones launching with Android 8 with project treble having lineage support or not?

From what I understand, if I keep vendor kernel, switching to any future android versions shouldn't be an issue, right?

>Spending nearly $1,000 on a smartphone seems a bit nuts when you can get a very good phone, like the OnePlus 5, for less than $500. But the Note 8 isn't just very good — it is awesome. The combination of its glorious 6.3-inch Infinity Display, excellent dual cameras and more versatile S Pen makes it the big-screen phone to beat. Some people may want to wait for the iPhone 8, but if you're an Android fan, you need look no further.

which android launcher emulates ios the best?
GF's iphone broke and she's going to use my old xperia Z3, but asked me to put an iOS-like skin on it.

iLauncher looks great but the last official release (on ilauncher.io) was in May last year, so I'm not sure if it's ok to use. There seems to be more up to date versions but some people are saying they're just clones.

any advice appreciated

Android is for those who don't care about security. Just see the recent article about bootloaders not being secure. Add to it that Android generally has poorly designed user interfaces and the user experience is incredibly clunky. App development lags well behind the iOS versions of the same apps. If you don't care about security or having a good experience, Android is fine. For those of us who do care about those things, iOS is a far better choice.

what do i get?
It goes without saying i think but it needs to have removable battery, expandable memory and earphone jack

So I fell for the Xiaomeme scam and bought a Redmi 3. After some grueling hours spent to unlock the phone it functioned fine, except for its constant sub-par service in the US. Finally willing to admit it was a mistake and buy a new phone, here's what we got:
>$200 budget
>Refurbished is fine
>128gb micro SD support
>No minitablets please
>Root access possible

Leaning towards Sony Xperia X Compact. The only thing keeping me from picking one up is the battery life seems short and the battery isn't removable.

>>62271351
>it needs to have removable battery, expandable memory and earphone jack

>>62271474
Yep, I messed up with this one. Everything on the phone is great except the spotty service and moving large data onto the phone will cause it to crash. It will either support 2g/3g or exclusively support 4g. I'm going to try out a 4g provider before investing in a new phone, if it helps I won't have a reason for a new phone anymore.

>>62271351
I'm in your same condition. I've opted to drop the removable battery meme and go for the small bezels meme, so I plan to get the V30. It's as good as a flagship can get nowadays, with the bonus of not being Samsung.

>>62271759
>It's fine, who uses the front camera anyway.
In this sense I agree, which is why I don't really care about the front camera quality, although since they've added it, a less retarded position to make it more practical to use the few times you need it would have been better.
>If you want to see retarded positioning look at the Essential phone.
I honestly think it's not that bad after all. Sure without it altogether would have been better, but I think the iPhone 8 made a much worse job with the top of the screen, since it stole too much space to the top notification bar.

Like I said, Verizon. So pretty sure its us988

Sounds like I'm fucked

Not sure if this is a silly question, but is there a third party smart phone that I can use that allows me to delete off all preinstalled apps and lets me just have the apps I want on the phone? Right now I have a blackberry priv (nostalgia for a physical keyboard suckered me in) and this thing is a piece of shit. It over heats constantly on me and runs slow as shit despite me having installed only a few third party apps.

Just sick of buying new phones that already come bogged down with all this installed shit that I will never use and yet can't delete it off the phone.

>>62273293
root?
You will loose you warranty thou

>>62273413
So what? Is that more important than control? Should I bite the bullet and expect a us988 root eventually, or just get fucked and get a different phone and lose a bunch of money?

Still have no idea how to know when and if any root would come out for it. But they seem to have come out for every other lg model for Verizon thus far.

>>62273413
Isn't root reversible?

>>62273413
Don't really care about warranty toward the end. Haven't really looked into cracking a Priv though, I will search about it but I was ready to just get a new phone at this point. This thing runs so slow at times that it's unbearable. Best way I can describe it is the phone feels throttled, at times it runs perfect then at others I tap something on screen and it don't register the action until 30 seconds later or so.

I know all phones become shit after a while but was hoping some company out there had made a phone that you wouldn't have to replace in a year.

>>62273481
Idk, there is probably someway the manufacturer can tell that your phone has been rooted.

It's all volunteer effort when it comes to custom ROMs. Some guy who knows how to code decides to port a ROM like LineageOS to his phone and then he makes a port.

Count yourself lucky, though. You at least get easier access to the US models of phones and those usually have the most support unlike the European versions.
