What can you guys recommend? My budget is unlimited but i don't want an apple meme.
Christopher Allen
What do you guys think about the Moto Z? I really like the idea of having a phone with a hot-swappable battery on the back, I'd get two of those batteries and I would never have to worry about running out of power ever again. Also there are those gimicky addons like the camera or the speaker but I only care about the batteries.
The big downside of this thing is that it has no audio jack but instead comes with usb-c to audiojack adapter, but the cheaper version (Moto Z Play) still comes with audio jack and would be enough for my needs.
Sebastian Nelson
I think the idea is novel in concept but I guarantee those addons are going to be expensive as hell.
I'm thinking of picking up the moto x pure before they all run out. Anything out there in the 300 ameridollars range that substantially beats this or should I just get it? I cant do xiaomi chink shit because I'm in the US on at&t and they dont get the bands.
Eli Evans
It's an expensive phone with expensive mods, and if I wish to protect my investment with a case I would have to forgo the mods, which are arguably the biggest draw to the device.
Ethan Harris

Nexus 5x 32gb can be had for $250 if you look hard enough. if you can deal with poor storage space its gr8

I live in Brazil so the prices aren't always the same. The nexus 5 costs around $600 ( The ratio for dolar to reais is 1:3 )
The LG X costs about $275
I know its a shitty country , but thanks for the suggestion.

I ordered some unlocked S7s direct from Samsung's website.
I ordered them on the 5th, and they never indicated they were backordered.
A shipment sent out on the 6th, but it turned out to just be the GearVRs. When I called them to ask what the deal was with the phones, they said they were backordered and would ship within 1-2 days when they restocked.
They didn't ship.
They didn't ship until the 15th, after promising they'd ship earlier. Matter of fact, their support group promised they'd ship the phones overnight. Not only are they not shipping within 2-3 days, as I paid for, they're going to take 8 days to get here after they shipped out from their warehouse in Tennessee to California where I live.
I called them again, and the person then claimed there was nothing they could do, and gave me a fucking email to escalate with.
Fucking bullshit eh? I understand why people stick with Apple. No one beats their customer support. If this shit happened with Apple, you'd get free Applecare or an accessory or something.

The big difference here is that LG didn't license their system to other brands, there are no third party addons.
The speaker addon for the Moto Z are by JBL, the camera made by Hasselblad and there are several battery addons by different brands.

Ryan James
Hey guys, Gonna get a used OP2 for 150€ next week. Did I do good?
I've heard a bit of sass on here towards the SD810 but I don't really know what's wrong with it.
I used to have a Sony Z2 which is now borked, and a feature I really loved about it was the Stamina Mode in the quick settings (Data/WiFi/GPS off when screen is off, awesome for batt life) and I've read oldish (2015) forum threads on XDA about apps that mimic this feature or even ports, or Xposed Modules.
I wonder, could a simple Tasker module be as efficient as the Sony feature?
Thanks in advance Pic unrelated
Daniel Butler
> Those fucking sausage fingers
Is this guy retarded or just have real bad heart disease?
Jeremiah James
Tasker could easily do that
Jaxson Allen
Don't see the old "stupid questions" thread, (And haven't for a while. Did those get booted off Cred Forums?) so I guess I'll ask here instead of making a new thread.
I have a Note 2 stuck on the Downloading... Do not turn of target!! screen, google suggests simply holding vol. down, home, and power should restart my phone, but that does nothing. In fact I can't get my phone to react at all, taking out the battery for a bit and putting it back in puts me back on the same screen.
Screen says-
FACTORY MODE PRODUCT NAME: SCH-1605 CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official SYSTEM STATUS: Official KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0 RP SWREV: A2
And the RP SWREV might be AP SWAEV, it's hard to tell with the font.
Noah Gonzalez
I'm trying to flash magisk onto my G Flex 2 but I'm having so much trouble.
First, I can't enter recovery mode normally; no combination of the 3 buttions works. I've been using Android Studio to send "adb reboot recovery" to the phone and that boots it to the "dead" android logo. From there I can't do anything; no combination of buttons I've tried brings up the menu that should be there.
Is my root fucked? Do I have to do a factory reset?
Adrian Turner
>56680360 >the SE performs better than the Z5C That's the first time I've heard that. Isn't the Z5C one of the better performing upper mid-range phones out there?

How difficult is it to replace a Z2 display panel? I may have water damaged it, and the display is fine, but the touch sensor is fucked. Also, the wifi/bt antennae no longer work. That may just be a physical connection problem though.

Why would you get the 12 month insurance, thats such a colossal waste. It already comes with 12 month insurance, and how much of a retard are you that you can't protect a small piece of technology? Buy a tempered glass screen protector, buy a good case and don't be a fucking child with your expensive equipment.
Jace Morales
>No global rom will install CM as soon as possible... but I wonder if there will be CM14 for it. also, I'm interested in software/support for its camera, durability of its battery, etc., etc.

Traded my iPhone 6 in for an iPhone SE. I thought I wouldn't mind the smaller screen but fuck man, putting the two phones side by side and the SE looks like shit. It's got a subtle yellow tint to it too over the iPhone 6. Dunno what that's about, it isn't in night mode either.
Anyway, thinking of returning my SE, was looking at perhaps getting the 6s Plus. Is the 6s Plus' screen really that much better than the regular 6s? I know the resolution is higher but not sure if that's very noticeable on a phone. How does the battery life compare too?

Easton Myers
and it's 5" which is huge
Lucas Moore
download an app that manages it better? there are heaps of good choices. Also "android" has a huge variety of custom roms that can fit your needs if the stock OS doesn't.
Blackberry OSes are based on Android now.
that's Z5 not Z5Compact which is 4"
Jason Butler
Thinking of getting an Mi5, currently have the Nexus 6P. Good idea or no?
Matthew Bell
I recently shattered screen on my old lg l64 and I'll be getting new phone
is k10 resonable poorfag's choice?
Cameron Brown
The additional 12months as well as the original 12 months only deal with MECHANICAL breakdowns. Meaning, non user related. The reason I want to shell out the extra $25 because I heard the company isn't the best at lasting post-1 year of use. Or is it more of software related issues than mechanical? Id assume just another $25 will cover my ass. But if it's only software, then I guess ROMs like CM would fix my issues?
Joseph Robinson
thanks man, I'm new to android where can I find more informations about the different available roms ?
Robert Flores
it's a bit of a jungle so i'd say, choose your device first then look for ROMs developped for it. Within your pricerange and requirements, i'd say nothing really beats the Z5C. I might be wrong though, maybe collect a few more opinions
Stock Sony roms are pretty good in my opinion (especially Stamina Mode which helps a lot with Battery Life), rooting and flashing a new rom is only useful if you're not satisfied at all with your current experience.
If you want to get info on the available roms, just google "device name stock and custom roms" and you should have a few forum thread and blog articles about your options.
Off the top of my head, I think Z5C is going to get the latest Android 7.1 when it rolls out, and you can have it under 6.0 or 5.1 if these aren't your cup of tea.
For Custom Roms, stuff like CyanogenMod is probably your best bet for a simple, user-friendly and bloat-free Android experience.
Liam Gray
Got my ZTE Axon 7 a week ago and wanted to post a mini review: - boots in 15 sek - best media consumption experience I've had so far - front speakers are the best I've heard so far - screen looks AMAZING - phone is pretty fast (SD 820+4 GB RAM) - camera is meh - charges full in under 1 hour - battery lasts for 1-1 1/2 days - doesn't get hot under load at all - SIM-slot is annoying to open
for 430€ it's a 9/10 for me
Oliver Fisher
OPO is literally falling apart, the rear housing is falling off. What is the next cheap phone?

Colton Jenkins
Battery is incredible, runs better than my old OPO. I'd get it, even the cheaper one is a smashing deal.
Brayden Wright
For those that own a Redmi Note 3 pro, Kenzo or Kate?
Julian Nelson
get 3GB if you can because >lagdroid
Brayden Scott
I was honestly torn between this and the op3 but decided with the OP3 because of that annoying software of the Axon.
The notification bell, the numerous glitches I've seen many users complain about ie data or WiFi signals being lost, and when you unlock the bootloader you void warranty? Damn.
The hardware seems amazing though
Matthew Richardson
what glitches? haven't had any so far

Hunter Moore
Hey SPG
What kind of gesture features do you use?
Personally I've set Dialer to swipe up, app list to swipe down, Camera two finger swipe down and Settings to two finger swipe up. "Okay botnet" for simple shit like GPS home or starting apps while driving. Appswap shows a overlay with select apps when swiping specific zones at the sides. I also used to set my alarm to snooze when the screen was flipped facing down using Tasker.
Any other nice handy stuff?
Wyatt Johnson
I always hated having an app for the phone/dialer. Why haven't I thought of that? Thanks.
I do double tap for settings. Swipe up for camera or snap. Swipe down for notification tray (in the case of I miss the top of the screen when I swipe).
Charles Smith
It's a fucking pain and videos/ifixit wont show common problems outside of taking it apart.
>Everything is taped >Every single piece of tape needs to be removed and cleaned to the bone or the new tape won't stick properly >Putting on new tape can be tedious as fuck and easy to mess up so you need a new one >Battery can get bent/warped on removal = back panel will get pushed off >Tiny fragile plastic connectors that easily rip = lose various functions if it happens >More glue and tape on everything which won't hold anything as good as the first time you removed it, possibly making one speaker not play or a mic gets clogged >Even if you do everything well and it seems to work during testing you won't get the back panel on without it slowly getting loose and falling off because all the removable shit at the bottom of the phone WON'T reseat exactly to the millimeter, new LCD contact is a bit thicker OR old tape/glue isn't strong enough to hold it firmly to the bottom as before = 1-2mm gap which pushes the back panel out and no kind of super glue will ever save you
At least the screen rarely has problems getting loose so I'd recommend just having the damn thing in a case if the back panel thing ever happens.
Camden Sanchez
I got a question you've probably all asked yourselves.
I'm buying one of the pixel if theyre good. My sweet spot is 5.2 inches, meaning the 5.0 pixel is too small and the 5.5 xl is too big.
What did you do in similar situations previously, and how did it turn out.
PS if the pixels are shit i go 5x
Nathaniel Baker
My Android phone has some orangeish-brown markings on the sides, near the bottom. They're easiest to see on a white background. Any idea what it could be? I don't think it's image burn, since there's not usually something of that shape in that location on the screen.
Jacob Wright
My Nexus 5 has essentially bit the dust because of a bootloop. I'm going to get a new phone, but I was wondering, is there any way of me retrieving the stuff I have stored on the harddrive, without the need for the phone being on? If not hopefully I can get it to stay on long enough for me to grab the essentials.
Zachary Lopez
If you're rich and fat, is there a point to buy the redmeme note 3, apart from feeling a sense of community and worship it because of the high community value it has on here?

If it isnt à KILLER PHONE, I swear i'll go 5x Google jews!!!!!
Landon Green
Do yall think the 6P will see a big price drop when the Nexus 2016/Pixels drop?
Caleb Nguyen
À small drop
Do you think it would fit in your trousers and shirt pockets?
Connor Evans
Yeah. I have big pockets and hands.
Jayden Rodriguez
Considering the 6p had TWO of the same $50 price drops within its 1-2 year life so far, that shit will still be $600-699 CAD if there even is a price drop.
I'm going OP3. No more snapdragon heat problems, even when charging.
kek so I super fucked up and have been flashing kenzo roms on a kate phone

Colton Reyes
Bought a S7 edge. How badly did i fk up?
Juan Lopez
Got a Axon 7 and a OP3 here to compare them side-by-side So far the Axon is the superior device in almost every way, except for two weaknesses. It has a brilliant display Amazing sound (for a phone) Comfortable shape (OP3 has edges that don't feel good in the hand) Great fingerprint sensor (seriously, it works better than the OP3's for me)
The OP3 has a better camera. Or rather, software that makes better pictures. The camera hardware on the Axon is just as good, but the software doesn't make good use of it. In manual mode you can take pictures that are just as good. Biggest downside is the connection quality. Unless you're living in a city where you got good reception everywhere, you're gonna hate it.
Biggest downside of the OP3 is the display. It's about as grainy as a HD display on a 5.5" phone, thanks to PenTile matrix. Axon has much better colours as well It's less comfortable to hold Speaker is barely ok
Since I'm frequenting areas with bad reception, the connection quality of the Axon is a dealbreaker for me. Similarly, the display of the OP3 is pretty much a dealbreaker for me as well, it feels like a sidegrade from my N4.
Mi 5 doesn't support LTE Band 20, otherwise it'd be my prime pick. Guess I'll go with the RMN3P after all.
Go and buy it like the consumerist retards you are.
Benjamin Robinson

There are no fancy tricks. Charge it when you get home and forget about it. Li-ion does not have the memory problem that Ni-Cad or Ni-MH did.

But I'm wondering if I can overlook the screen and just be happy with the phone as it has everything I want from a smartphone, but I watch videos all the time... Fuck.

It's not much better because Apple downscales 2208x1242 to 1080p on the plus models. Looks blurry compared to true 1080p phones.
Connor Murphy
1A charger or use your PC for overnight charging, avoid quickchargers since they wear down the battery a lot more quickly. A lot of Samcucks are complaining about shitty battery life after 1 year of ownership because of quickcharging. Percentages don't matter much. Charge whenever you like.
Noah Richardson

Looking for one for my Moto G4. (Yeah, it has gorilla glass already - but I love this thing and want to keep it safe and secure.)

The phone isn't the sturdiest thing ever either, so a case would probably help.

Nope. If an app is designed for the 6/Plus (2x and 3x), it will do both just fine. 70% of apps are still designed for the 5/5S so everything is xbox hueg on the larger 6 and 6 PLus.

I have a Nexus 6 at the moment and the battery and thermal throttling absolutely sucks ass. This phone is so fucking laggy sometimes it's embarrassing.
It's funny, I've had four Android phone since 2009 (Moto Droid, Galaxy Nexus, HTC One M7, Nexus 6) and this is in the running with the Galaxy Nexus for my least favorite phone.
Considering these new Nexus phones look like overpriced shit, is the V20 the best bet?

Everything is good, except for volume. Sound is great cause dual front speakers, but not very loud

My Nexus 5 still running like a fucking champion, Idk why your Nexus 6 is so bad. I never had problems with space(16gb version, I use Google play music and have most listened albums downloaded tho). I have games installed and still having a few gbs for music, gba Roms and even some Anime to watch when I need to go out. I don't give a fuck about the cam, it works nice for me and I use headphones so I have no problem with media. I love my screen and this big guy costed me 100€ lmao

My Redmi note 3 pro uses 1.2 Gb at idle. Get 3 Gb for sure.
UK based buyer. Bands work fine for me. Not sure to wait for Mi5s and see if it drops the Mi5 pricing a little. The extra $40 for double size and a little extra power seems like a good trade.
Just asking for opinions and if anyone has any reviews if in the UK too is a bonus.
Hudson Fisher
uh... you know there's a xiaomi sale happening right now right
Kevin White
Yes, however that is a 32GB model for $40 less.
The price difference for twice as much storage and a slightly higher seems rather reasonable wouldn't you say?

Bezel memes aside, what are you expecting out of the Pixel? Personally, aside from obvious stuff like top tier battery, build quality, and camera, they should definitely include faster storage like iPhones and Galaxies.
Jason Harris
I you have the shekels than yes v20 is the best. Expandable battery and storage is tempting. Nexus phones were a disappointment for me. Especially the new premium priced pixels with no new benefits except the new hardware. They are still valid. They published a flawless phone with the 10. I didn't buy an iPhone since the 4s. Samshit has a history of bad battery life, broken features, lag and now exploding hardware. Have fun with your overpriced low quality shit. Check frequencies and compare price/hardware ratio for your country. If you don't want to deal with installing a custom rom go for Sony.
Liam Foster

Does gingerbread with 500mb ram count as a smartphone? It never really felt smart to me. In which case I also got my first smartphone this year.

Didn't expect that either, but it just looks grainier and slightly blurred compared to standard RGB pixels.
Brody White
>Windows phone Yep
Luke Cruz
Thanks for that piece of information. The Moto Z wasn't even on my radar but now it is. Mobile phone cameras have become very good the last few years but they will always miss that last mile without optical zoom. A "real camera" add-on that I could slap on the back of my phone does sound intriguing. The real question though is if it's preferable to just bringing a real camera along instead of dragging a expansion camera for the phone with me. After all, a separate camera will still work if the phone runs out of battery. Still, this got my attention.

I expect them to make it 100$ cheaper for the small version. Maybe this is just a way to outrage people and then they see the smaller pricetag and they are okay with it.
Carson Turner
My Huawei P9 Lite arrived today and it's weird getting used to not having a custom ROM. I kinda don't want to put a custom ROM on it because I quite like it as it is, but it won't even let me delete the useless Google folder of crap from my home screen and it won't let me get rid of the Contacts icon on the home screen; dialer already leads to Contacts so what's the point?
Should I just download Nova Launcher or bite the bullet and get a custom ROM?
Lincoln Nelson
I'm in the UK so the price is still gonna be bad. might just get a Moto again

I'm in Germany so I don't really expect a better price either honestly. But one can still hope. I will wait for the announcement, then I will make my decision.

Looking for a phone to replace my Nexus 5 with. I don't want to pay more than 400 Euros and it can't be bigger than the N5 because I have manlet hands. Close to stock Android and software updates are important to me. Is the 5X still worth picking up?
Brandon Ramirez
5x is bigger than the 5 tho. And yes it still is. Although you should wait for a few more weeks if you can since the new pixel phones will hit the market by then and the price will fall even more.
Ayden Williams
I just checked the size comparison on phonearena.com and it's a lot bigger than I expected. I thought it would be just a little bit taller. Might have to check it out at a store to see if I can handle it.
John Rivera
It has gargantuan bezels, google fucked up the 5x big time in that aspect imo. It's far too big for me too so I might get the z5c instead if the new pixel phone is far too expensive.
Samuel Myers
The c phones are only 4 inches though right? And how is the Sony software? I heard it's bloated.
Logan Smith
4.6 inches. They are okay imo. The software is not as bloated as samsung for example.
Colton Perry
I tell you: You're shit out of luck. :-/
I too have been looking for a decent 4" phone. And by 4" I mean 4" not 4.5" or 5". They all have 512MB RAM or at best 1GB RAM and some low-range ancient MediaTek chip-set like 6580.
The resolutions on those few 4" that exists is extremely low. 720p on 4" should not be impossible.
We are shit out of luck if we expect a good battery on those, a 4000mAh battery would be bigger than a 4" phone. A smaller battery than that would be fine, but a tiny one around 1400mAh is what I see on the few 4" phones available and that's not acceptable.
good luck finding a good 4" phone, user. Please share if you do: I have looked and looked and all I see is crap. I see very few 4" phones and those few I do see are garbage.
Ethan Hernandez
Thanks. As I said, the real question is how that camera add-on compares to some cheap just-fine actual camera with an optical lens. Really good ones are dirt cheap these days. Mine didn't cost much and takes much better pictures than every phone out there regardless of price. A real lens and optical zoom and a big real flash makes all the difference.
Eli Robinson
Literally your only option is the iPhone SE at that size.
Bentley Campbell
Samsung made an error on my phone contract which made me need to go into their store for 30 minutes, they gave me £100 of accessories as an apology

Do they only have the 3/32 version of the Mi5? I want the 64GB one.

Cameron Howard
Just spent a day with it at school, and I haven't been afraid that I would drop it. Though I have seen a lot of people on XDA mention that screen scratches very easily, but I haven't seen any as of right now.
I guess if you treat your phone as a piece of garbage then you should get one.
It's just a gimmick. You're only paying for the Hasselblad logo. Any mid-range Nikon has more optical zoom and it's smaller than that add-on.
Jackson Rogers

Dylan Moore

Cure your autism first. Removable battery is as niche as small phones, literally the iPhone Se and the Xperia compact are your only options for small phones. And LG v20 and Lumia phones for removable battery.
Jace Miller
It's such a shame that Lumias are crippled by an awful OS. Hopefully Nokia's android phones will be just as good.
Christian Adams
I just recently bought pic related. Now, I'm planning on installing CM on it, but I'd like to get some more info before I do so.
I used to own a Z3C with CM12.1, and whenever I wanted to go back to the Sony ROM that came with the phone originally, I'd use a tool from Sony itself called Emma, which downloads the latest ROM available and automatically installs it. Basically, a fresh restart.
I was wondering if Nexus devices have something similar. I've searched Android's website but there isn't a download link anywhere.
So, how do you go back to the original ROM that came with the Nexus after you've unlocked the boot loader? Is there a fresh restart for this devices (in case I want to sell it or try nougat)?
Does flashing them remove everything including the recovery partition (i.e. I want to get rid of TWRP)?

Moto X Pure and X Play are not the same phones.
X Pure is great, X Play is shit.
You can either wait 3 days for official unlock or to id unofficially in a few minutes. however if you do one thing wrong it's bricked for good.
You can only flash on Windows x64. it's a fairly easy process.
>I too have been looking for a decent 4" phone. And by 4" I mean 4" not 4.5" or 5" Phones are for adults, not children.

I don't have small hands. I just miss the size of pretty much all my previous dumbphones. Of course a bigger display is like a prerequirement for a typo-free typing on a full qwerty but anything wider than 64mm just stretches my hand unnaturally since I hold the phone pretty much all the time.
Big smartphones are a meme. Remember 5 years ago? When smartphones were NOT big? And everyone was happy.

Zuk Z2 Fhd 5" Snapdragon 820 4gb ram 13MPx 3500mAh 260$ 10. Less bloat, custom roms (useful when HTC drops official updating), better speakers and dac. S7 has best raw processing power every snapdragon 820 phone has a better graphic chip and slightly less processing power. No difference in real world use. Buuut samshit cramps their own Android version full with useless shit, that will cause lag in future.
