Stopped charging completely. My computer's don't show the storage either
Only time it gets detected is in fastboot mode. So I reflashed stock and relocked bootloader but it's still not charging. What do?

i have a different baseband number. how fucked am i?
really need to get a clean rom on here. verizon sux dick and i already ported number and activated new sim on Ting. can only make calls occassionally, can't text at all. been thru all of ting's tech support. they say verizon still has a lock, verizon says they dont have lock. yet everytime i power on, i get notification: not a verizon sim. and when the calls i try to make dont go thru, it says no sim/sim error.

The battery werks though. It's at 60% and ive been using it as normal.
Cameron Bell
Just use RN3P sheesh, it's an excellent phone.
Liam Edwards
It's the charging port on Xiaomeme phones. some other user had the same issue with his new Redmi 3 last week /csg/. you can either send it back for repair (expensive back shipping depending on your location), take it to a repair shop (shouldn't be too expensive) or repair it yourself (autismo).
Jonathan Thomas
a battery can be capable of draining yet not be capable of being charged
it's either a loose wire, a bad battery or it's a board in the phone, I would try checking for loose wires and replacing the battery because the board is worth more than the phone
Benjamin Bennett
Just bought a Axon 7, how fucked am I?
Selling my Note 4 for 150$ just to get it out of the way and to re-coop some money.
Christopher Anderson
It's a good phone but the shitty skin is what puts it down a little.
Man, I'm having lots of trouble telling which is which. Some sellers list it as Silver, and others as Gray. I want the one you have. But I don't wanna get the wrong one because of a misclick.
Daniel Martin
Do we have cases for the international version yet?
David Allen
just click the picture of the one you want. it's what i did.

^^ Will I be satisfied with using this phone in Canada? I checked willmyphonework and 3G is at least supported for all Pro models. I am also buying the soft case with tempered glass-- should I find an alternative case and screen protector? And finally: is this a """"""good""""" time to buy a redmeme? Or should I wait?
Dark grey is the darker one. silver is almost white.
1. Gold is gay 2. That's kate, see posts above about cases. GB might be lying about the cases fitting, ask their livechat. 3. Xiaomi releases a new phone every 2 months, there's never really a good timeframe to buy it.

Brayden Jones
That's fine, I won't get the case, I was actually looking towards a dual layer one if it's available anyways. How do I know if I should get the Official International one or just the "3+32GB" version? The latter is much cheaper and I'd just root CM13 on it anyways right?
William Morgan

guys what the fuck, i have the RN3P and it keeps dropping the carrier signal even when it says it has signal.

I just want a phone I do not have to worry about any hiccups or problems for the next 2 years. I'd jump on the OP3 immediately but worry about the phone lasting after a year. Does OP have a bad reputation?
Nathaniel Edwards

Why are Huawei phones never références as chinkphones?
Is it because they are relatively more pricey? Or because they are released in the west?
Jose Bell
Half the time the webms don't play. And I can't use it if I save them. Same with chrome dev
I've tried VLC, 123 Player, Karasawa, MX player, the embedded video player for Google Pictures, LeafPic, and Gallery, and they all either don't loop or work like poop.
There has to be one media player that works and allows you to loop

So I have an iPhone 6 64GB, is there any need for me to upgrade anytime soon? Don't do much outside of calls/texting/shitposting. Would like to try Android next (fuck iOS 10 I had to downgrade) but not sure if there's any reason to do it now and not in a year or two.
Adrian Reed
So /spg/, Canadafag here, for the past year my HTC One X has basically been on life support. I'm using Android 5.0.2 through Resurrection Remix ROM, which was OK for a while since it gave me a semi-modern OS, but lately the phone has been almost unusable. I'm ready to move on.
To be honest I still miss my Blackberry 9300 in some ways, and right now the Blackberry Priv is now on for $0 with a two-year term from Bell. The physical keyboard seems like a nice throwback to the good old days, and you get Android out of the box plus guaranteed security updates for at least two more years. Seems pretty good, should I cop? Any issues with this phone that the usual channels don't acknowledge?
Julian Parker
Looking at that webpage made me blind. I hope you're happy.
Benjamin Fisher
Guys what is your opinion on HTC 10 and is it worth 700 dollars?
Hmm..it is pretty bland but isn't the build quality overall the better than S7 as it won't break with a fall?
Anthony Reyes
Don't use AliExpress, you cheapskate.
Brayden Fisher
I haven't had any problems, must have got a good one. It's been about 2 months I've had it. Charging is slow, but that's probably just fast charging that has spoiled me. Battery life is good though. I can't give any feedback on the mic/ear speaker quality. Back speaker is pretty quiet. Camera is mediocre at best. Screen looks good but colors are very cool and is rough on the eyes in the dark. Nearly stock Android, and there's been OTA security patches (surprisingly).
Keep in mind this wasn't bought as a primary phone, but as a toy. I'm very pleased with it and would use it as my daily driver. Remember it's GSM only.
If you get it, get the one with 2GB RAM, it's only $10 more.
Matthew Powell
Expansive af?? My p8 cost me 300 euros and performs like à 600 euros flagship.
According to my budget I can afford either the Axon 7, Honor8 or oneplus3. What I want from my phone is a good camera and more or less an upgrade from my Xperia Z1.
Any input on which to choose,

Been using my Samsung Galaxy S3 on Straighttalk with Verizon towers for 3 years now. Should I upgrade to an S5 or Note 4? I really want the bigger screen.
Is there another affordable brand with a large screen?
Grayson Bennett
It can be a 5" + display. My concern is it being too big. The biggest phone I've owned is the Moto X II (140.8mm), which was comfortable using it as my main music player (a lot of in and out of pocket action). Not willing to go bigger tho.
John Gutierrez
The S5 still had that cheap plastic feel to it, so id say go for the note 7 especially since you want a bigger screen
John Edwards
Try it. There is no comfy wifi file transfer method. That's a deal breaker for me.
Charles Lewis
Note 4, sorry fucked that up
Charles Rogers

No worries about the typo, thanks for the quick reply. I'm going to stick it in an ottterbox so not worried about the cheap platic feel. Price is a big point. Saving to buy a house but really need a new phone.

I went to the phone shop and they replaced my battery for free, but it doesnt seem to help. Ive made sure i have as few programs runbing in the background as possible and my screen brightness is usually around 15-25%. is there any other tips for ibcreasing battery life or should i get a new phone? Im not running cyanogen or any other ROMs
Isaiah Scott
Maybe look into the zuk Z2. 3500mAh 5" fhd. Some people at /csg bought it but if you live outside of europe check frequency compatibility at willmyphonework. If don't like ZUI you can get rid of the software (zukfans.eu/community/forums/zuk-z2.5/). There are bugfree cyanogenmod 13 and RR builds. CM 14 has no systemsounds at the moment.

Evan Stewart
>Cyanogenmod >Pajeet shit
Do you have downs? Enjoy not getting any updates
And if that's what's important to you then buy an iPhone
Jayden Barnes
Funny you say that because Nexus phones and iPhones are the only phones I ever loved. had a Note 5 but the lack of consistent updates and the awful Android skin ruined it for me. Also, performance was spotty. My Nexus 5 was better. Right now I'm waiting for the Pixel. How good that is will determine if I get a 6s or not.
I don't really feel like researching for you but look up processor benchmarks among various flagship devices if you really want to know the speed at which they move. Almost any flagship now will be able to operate without stuttering, and I'm pretty sure the OP3 can do that too.
Josiah Sullivan
any tips to help me fix my phone for a few more months? I dont wanna get a new phone yet but i need one for a my job and would rather not have to spend more money so soon just to get a new phone. I looked online and tried a factory reset but it didnt seem to help.
Hudson Ramirez
LG a shit. throw it from a bridge and buy that $50 Amazon phone.

depends on your carrier. if cdma your only option is the moto g4 play from amazon with ads enabled ($99 for prime members)

Also, you could buy an older phone off swappa.

I already did, cocksucker. Redmi Note 3 looks like it should suit my needs, or I could still get a used Galaxy Note 4, but I'm looking for further options and opinions. For instance:
Is anyone here using a Redmi Note 3 (or another Xiaomi phone with the same frequency support) on Ting or Sprint? If so, how is it?
On a related note, if the answer is basically "just fucking Google it" then why would these threads invite people to ask about which phone they should get in the first place? Go sit in the corner.

I'm not starting my search for a new phone from the beginning here.

Insults work better when the contrary has been demonstrated before you've even implied them. I've already stated multiple times that I DID look it up, and that my research tells me it SHOULD work on my network. I've put in what work I can, and I'm asking if anyone has firsthand experience to see if it works as well as I hope it does, if there are unknown shortcomings I should be aware of, and if there are options my investigations haven't turned up.

Hey, I'm a super newfag here, so I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but do you have any advice on which phone I could buy? I have no budget problems, and I've tried to look around a little bit, but I remain kinda confused. I hate apple and don't really like the design of samsung phones, so I excluded those. In the chaos that remained the huawei P9 plus looked good, but it seems to always run low compared with other phones in sites comparisons. I also looked at the new sony phone, the xperia xz, but it seems to have received mixed reviews. Which one of the too is better in your opinion? Or maybe which phone would be better than both of those? I'm kinda lost

The jump into iOS isn't too drastic, to be fair. But, that being said, I'd personally stick to android. I switched to iOS because I wanted to get the iPhone experience and the 6s looked great at the time. But, that being said, I'm ready to switch to a Note 7 once they're fixed.
Gavin Price
Yeah, I think you're about right. Wherever applicable, though, the blue options come right behind black.

Had one plus one for like three years then recently upgraded to a note 7 and had it for like a month before the recall and decided to get the iPhone 7 plus. Normally I'm not a sheeple but I dont fuck around on my phone alot anymore and am a bit bored of android. Even with dank specs system applications launch faster on the gfs 6s and for some reason the note 7 sounded like shit on aux in car but the gfs iPhone sounds great. Did I fuck up?? What's the consensus on this year's phatblets ?

I'm most worried about giving up Google Voice. Also concerned tie-ins with Gmail. Chromecast, etc won't be as good as they could be.
Then again Chromecast on Android can be buggy as shit anyway.
That's what has me frustrated enough to switch teams. I feel like I've been waiting forever for Android to finally be 'done' and even on Nexus devices it feels like a perpetual beta. Developers only care about iOS because it's easier to standardize an experience. Even Snapchat is total shit on Android.
Josiah Bell
It is a good phone. The car audio really got my goose though and I have noticed some touchwiz lag which makes me wary of how the software will progress with time. Took a leap of faith going iPhone but i was able to get the 256 gb model without spending any more. I'll try and post after some time with the iPhone and give am impartial opinion

do you ever try to make deals with the sales people at a store?
I knew a guy who worked at a cell phone store and I asked him to tell me when they were going to have a good sale, he said "everything is always on sale you just have to ask" So i went in there after figuring out about what they made on a new activation/contract and made it seem like i was just looking and really wanted to go with another provider
Me and the manager talked for awhile and at the end I told him "you guys are buying out contracts of other people and sometimes you have really big sales to get people in the door on one product, if I can tell you what I want and you can do it for X a month I'll do it right now
Wound up putting 100dolllars down and walked out with an S7 and a 45$ per month unlimited talk and text 3gb data a month bill for 2 years

Yeah, I moved over a few months ago. May move next month, or this month if I dont mind the Note 4

I have one myself and am on the list to swap it for a new one when they're in stock.
Best phone I've had so far. Was nervous about it because of the scratch resistance but my screen is flawless so far without any protection. It doesn't even attract smudges and fingerprints as bad as previous glass.
Considered trading for an S7 Edge but after trying my friend's I really dislike how steep the edges are. Didn't want the smaller normal S7 screen. His also scratched in the first week from a case he got for it.
Thinking of getting it as a little side game device since it appears to be fully rootable (provided the loader is too), seems overall decent. I have a boring job.
Josiah Howard
Whatever you say, Apple/Samshit astroturfer. I still rather be spied on by China rather than the US.
Cameron Garcia
Just signed the deal with the devil. I'll update my user experience. Just hope i won't end up getting a defective unit like so many.
Andrew Morgan
I'm looking for a new phone since my shitty LG G4 got the bootloop shit, but I can't get something as expensive as that. What do you do think of the Sony Xperia C5?
Nathaniel Russell
Did you get the G4 from a carrier? I took mine to my carrier and they mailed a replacement to me next day. Replacement worked fine until I upgraded.
Brody Edwards
Yes, but my warranty expired literally two months after my phone bricked itself. They still tried to help me remove the bootloop but they couldn't do shit.
I called LG Support and simply told me to fuck off because my 1-year warranty already expired. I told them I understood that and asked them if they could put some technician on the line so he could suggest me what to do on my own and I shit you not they said "No we can't, bye".
Dylan Reed
Damn that sucks. I guess I got lucky that it happened like five months after I got it. Gonna be staying away from LG for a while even though the V20 looks nice.
Xavier Murphy
Cool thanks.
Other thoughts were a Moto G or S4 both are about 150. Either way it will be strickly wifi shits and giggles it won't be on any phone service.
Parker Garcia
...
Henry Baker
>I shit you not they said "No we can't, bye". Wow. That's awful. I'm a little hesitant to buy a V20 now
Liam Thomas
Well, I'm not surprised by that kind of reaction tbqh. We don't get the same level of customer service you get in the U.S. compared to here in Spicland. But I also heard other anons here on Cred Forums had many issues with LG when asking them to fix their bootloop thing on their G4/G5.
Jordan Hernandez
When I got a bootloop on my V10, I went through AT&T 1st and luckily still under the 1 year warranty. I got a replacement before they got backed up.
Colton Perez
Will iPhone6 be outdated soon or is it still worth getting?
Mason Rivera
Right before it bootloops
Anthony Murphy
Why would you want to be spied on at all?
Hunter Rogers
No Cred Forumsentleman will ever approve getting an iPhone.
Carter Clark
Going to be honest this They aren't bad phones, but its a really unethical company. And they are marketed to the facebook/instagram girls and they are good for that and little else. They are really good at that, but if you want to do something else you are fucked.
Robert Thomas
I also like the Apple products, but for the price they're selling all of their products you can get stuff that does at least 2 or 3 times more stuff.
Colton Perry
I've only owned iPhones. I tried Android, didn't like it but I'm not judging nor am I a fanboi. Just prefer it for my basic needs.
Alexander Gutierrez
Just got the Redmi Note 3 International Edition. Can I get cyanogenmod on this phone and will the rom for the base note 3 work?
Easton Torres
What's the first thing you do when you get a new phone?
Owen Morales
Turn it on
Angel Foster
WRONG
You gotta take it out of the box first, dummy.
Alexander Morgan
Not true. If you want a phone that excels at the basics, an iPhone is the way to go.
Dominic Edwards
So any contenders in the range with BLU RH1 or S4? Just for some gaming.
Moto G is out because not enough ram.
Depends on the android you tried, most 'android' aren't real android they are mash of crap manufactures added and ruined. It wasn't that good before 3.0 either or well 4.0, but then again Iphones weren't until the 5 either which was a similar time frame.
I mean if basics and iOS is what you want 6 is an option.
Evan Diaz
I should wait until the Pixel phones before I buy a Nexus 6P right?
Austin Carter
>I want to pay $650+ for a phone that does texting and Facebook REALLY good You can't even store any files that aren't music, images or video, for fuck's sake.
Grayson Perry
right
Cameron Stewart
/k/ here, it's got every feature I want
Isaiah Scott
You have to get a Verizon model because of CDMA. Also, some Verizon note 4s can be bootloader unlocked, if it has a Samsung emmc.
Henry Morales
honestly, Yeah. Camera, battery, screen, call quality, intuitive UI that's easy for normies, etc, BASIC shit is the best on iphones. I wouldn't buy one but I see the appeal tbqh
Hudson Gonzalez
does someone have a list of differences between the kenzo & kate redmi note 3s?
Anthony Wright
literally just more lte more bands, and no official cm builds for kate yet
also like 2mm longer so doesnt fit cases
Isaiah Gray
Exynos S7 maybe?
Joshua Barnes
This. The SD820 is a dog and Qualcomm is holding back the Android.
Hope Samsung starts selling their CPUs to third parties in large numbers so we have alternatives
Juan Reyes
looking for new android phone budget ~$650 No Korean/ Chinese brand please suggest
Nolan Hernandez
Any thoughts on the Sony Xperia Z5 compact vs the Xperia X compact coming out? I'm looking for a more compact phone that isn't a fucking iphone SE or whatever.
Ian Rivera
I want to dankify my Nexus 5X, any launchers that are Cred Forums approved? I'm using Arrow Launcher but they keep updating their privacy policy and im getting concerned. Any dank apps that are good?
Angel Murphy
>Intuitive UI >No overriding back or menu button. >"Back" and "cancel" options jump around from Form to Form; sometimes they exist sometimes they don't; sometimes they're at the top of the page, sometimes they're at the bottom. Yeah, nah, Aplel UI design is slow and clunky.
Aiden Morgan
Do we know yet if there are any differences between the US and Euro versions of the new Xperias (X Compact and XZ) other than fingerprint?
Like, supported bands?
Jaxon Hernandez
Yotaphone. ROSSIYA
Logan Edwards
I disagree. Swipe for back is so natural.
Sebastian Martin
So i ended dropping my S5 active on the weekend and the glass is shattered to fuck but the screen underneath is undamaged.
How easy is it to change the glass yourself ? So far i have had all repair shops and samsung themselves say no as its an American import and never sold this model out here.
Only other fix out here is to replace the screen which cost about a 1/2 of what i paid for the phone
Charles Barnes
>Large sweeping gesture. >More natural than moving your thumb 2cm.
Sebastian Martin

Kevin Wilson
Whats a good 6" or larger phone with 1440p?
in return, sfw boobs
Jack Smith
lol almost spat my coffee. A large sweeping gesture? no user, it's the same motion as pulling out menus in material. Very natural and logical, works well on large screens with one hand as well.
Anthony Robinson
Looking for some purchasing advice.
>Country and carrier USA MetroPCS
>Wanted features 5" screen Unlocked MicroSD support 2GB RAM NFC Decent battery life Fingerprint scanner Can be rooted Stock Android or as close to stock as possible
>Budget Poor as shit so hoping to get a sub $200 phone. I looked at the Redmi Note 3 Pro and everything looks great aside from the lack of NFC. If there's nothing recommended I might just go with the RN3P.
Matthew Torres
Honor 5X has a 5.5" Can be bootloader unlocked MicroSD support 2GB Ram NO NFC Roughly 4-4.5hr SOT battery life Fingerprinter Can be rooted Not stock, but has nightly CM builds
Roughly 180-200
Parker Robinson
might as well recommend the meme phone at this point
Hunter Ramirez
Is it worth buying a 16gb Mi Max?
I only want it for manga because my workplace doesn't allow us to bring in tablets or other "Personal Entertainment Devices". There's lots of downtime and they don't care what we do on our phones but you can't bring in other devices.
Don't intend to use it as my daily driver and I would prefer to spend less because I already have a tablet.
Jaxson Russell
Basically it depends on how much you want LTE speeds
If you do, you get a cheap phone like a Blu R1 HD, Moto G4, or Honor 5X. If you get good Tmobile signal in your area and don't need faster speeds, get the Redmeme.
Easton Hill
That looks pretty good. A bit disappointed in the lack of NFC but I might budge. How's CM on it?
Evan Rodriguez
>international
I really want to buy one of these to use in the US on straight talk. Especially the battery will be helpful when playing pokemon go.
But I don't want to pull the trigger with it not working in the US.
I am mostly looking for bigger phone (5.5-6.0 inch screen) with winter coming up I will be wearing gloves that are pretty thick and it will just be easier to hold a bigger phone with it.
>anker That brand is good, I personally have ravpower (I was able to chink a new one after my 4 year old one died)
Dominic Sanders
I have a 16000mah version of that, it's great. Keep it mind they take a long fucking time to charge to full. but 0-60% is fairly quick.

>If you do, you get a cheap phone like a Blu R1 HD, Moto G4, or Honor 5X. If you get good Tmobile signal in your area and don't need faster speeds, get the Redmeme.
but user, the redmeme breaks on people constantly and in different ways and the makers have no presence in the USA so nothing can be done to address the many issues people have with their quality
Christopher Nelson
>I will be wearing gloves that are pretty thick and it will just be easier to hold a bigger phone with it.
How will you interact with the phone through your thick gloves?
Owen Barnes
Sorry I forgot to mention, I would be using a stylus too.
Jaxson King
>using a stylus
Dylan Miller
No idea, but it's getting new builds almost every day and I'm pretty sure the FP reader works on it now.
The default rom isn't terrible, it's just bloated and chinese which means it looks like a material iOS. The phone doesn't get too hot despite being a 61X chip, the FP reader is decently fast, no issues even on the stock rom.
Is the Oneplus 3 worth the extra cost over the redmeme 3 pro?
Sebastian Nguyen
You literally have to pull it half way across the screen.
Caleb Watson
>Is the Oneplus 3 worth the extra cost over the redmeme 3 pro?
no
Lincoln Lewis
So should I just get the redmeme 3 pro? What difference would the oneplus 3 make?
Benjamin Gonzalez
you should follow your heart user
Nolan Thompson
;.; Phones are confusing, I don't know if I'd feel a difference between the 2 as a casual user.
Nathaniel Bennett
to the casual driver is there any difference between a honda accord and a toyota camry that would ever matter?
Jayden Kelly
I-I don't know, I don't have a drivers license and I don't know anything about cars. I'm a failure at life....
Jose Hernandez
Don't buy chinkshit Get a second hand or refurb Xperia
Aiden Cruz
Does anyone on Virgin Mobile (in the US) know if their sim cards can be moved to another phone? I have their data done right plan, which, because of how poorly built their system is, is currently effectively giving me free service. I'd like to ditch my old moto e, and I've seen some compatible phones but just want to make sure.
Its a normal sprint card, so theoretically it should work, right?
Carter Reed

Jose Gomez
I bet you're against used cars as well.
Parker Ross
You don't even have to go refurb, Z3s are in the $200-300 range brand new and are still quality phones.
Matthew Wright
Is the z3 good? Bloatware? Is the Sony version of android responsive? 3GB ram, 1080p screen and the rest seem fine.
Connor Roberts
No I am not. Smartphones are devices designed to immediately deteriorate, buying one that Cletus McGill has used for a year and handed back under contract will always net you a half functional device.
A refurbished S5 still costs more than a Redmi Note 3 pro, so you might as well pick the cheaper option without the fucked battery.
Matthew Morgan
I have the Z3 compact, it's the best phone I've ever owned.
Sony's additions are very light and easily ignored. Some of it (like the Stamina and Ultra Stamina modes) is fantastic.
>Is the Sony version of android responsive? Two years later it's still zippy for me. It does reload apps and web tabs pretty often though, if you're concerned about ram. The Z3 might not as much, I think it has 1GB more RAM than the compact.
Connor Jenkins
I'm just not sure, there is a z3 for 170€ used here, a Motorola nexus 6 for 220€ used and the redmi note 3 pro for ~180€ after customs new from China. I don't want to be stuck with a fucked battery and I'm not sure whether I should spend more on something like a oneplus 3.
Joseph Carter
Is the battery of new (packaged never used) old phones (2 or three years old) deteriorated in any way?
Jacob Hernandez
I doubt it, but to perfectly honest I don't really know.
I can say that after two years of daily use I can still usually get almost two days out of my Z3c on Stamina mode, long as I'm not playing any games. Can't imagine a new battery would fare worse, even one that's been sitting in a warehouse for a long time.
Aiden Torres
Yes, but not terribly. It would come down to how they were stored - if it was humid and hot, then I would expect a decrease in battery life to be sure.
Why do they always compare with samshit? Their bloated software results in worse lag than every other flagship with the same hardware.
Jonathan Fisher
>Around 5" 1080p screen, bright enough to use outdoors >Decent specs; i don't play games but must be good enough for stuff like internet browsing, chatting and multitasking without lag >Good battery a big plus >Microsd slot >Removable battery a plus >Good ROM support is always nice, atleast CM >200-300$
