I'd go for the Z3. Better battery life, rom support, and waterproof and such. Also, I've heard things about the G3, like bad battery life.
Cooper Perry
I forgot the mention the overheating piece of garbage that is the M9. Go for the Z3.
Brandon Adams
Hey Redmi Note 3 Sup Forums users, could you guys recommend whether I should install CM13 or Resurrection Remix? I've heard RR has better battery life, and that you can't enable on screen buttons by default on CM13. Thoughts?
Easton Ramirez
Moto X Pure here Tried rooting my phone, installed Supersu now my phone freezes when I boot it up. Tried a factory reset, didn't do anything. What do I do?
Blake Scott
Hopefully pulling the trigger on the Z5 Premium tomorrow.
I've read that it can run hot and the fingerprint scanner can stop working. Can anyone confirm/deny?
Thinking about getting this case cause it looks cute
Carson White
>All this waiting for Xiaomi to verify my device for unlocking. arghgh
I think my Nexus 5 is going to pack up soon, what would be a decent replacement for it? Looking for something similar in spec and size, should I get the 5X or wait to see if Google drop any new ones in October?
Josiah Lewis
I didn't really get any answers yesterday so I'm gonna try again
>pic related yay or nay?
James Ortiz
I thought it had just 1,5GB of ram and a 1,2 ghz processor. Wouldn't do it for a gimmick.
Levi Campbell
hey, any good options for a budget smartphone? want to buy my dad his first smartphone. nothing fancy required, i want something cheap. he doesnt have facebook, probably wont be youtubing much, maybe just reading the news, sending some emails and stuff. the important thing would be solid battery life and a small screen (nothing bigger than 4.5"). thanks for any input.
Christian Sullivan
If price is a factor get the 5X. If not wait
Liam Walker
Does the One Plus 3 recognise USB cardreaders?
I have this SD card from my old phone of which i want to transfer a lot of data. I've got a USB-C to usb adapter so i thought it might work.

Hello Sup Forums I'm a total noob when it comes to smartphones I have the following device:
Model Number : Alcatel One Touch 5020T Firmware version: 4.1.1 Kernel Version 3.4.0 Build Number: Jelly Bean
My installation came with a lot of unwanted softwares so I want to root and maybe change the rom
The problem is I really don't know what I'm doing and I already bricked a phone before so I have some question before committing.
My first question is: What is the tool I should use to root my Alcatel?(I use a Linux operating system) Also I heard there's a tool for "lazy" people but it doesn't grant you full root access? What does it mean?
Second question is: Is there a rom with only a launcher and play store installed? I heard of something called Prism Barebone, is it any good?
Third question is : What's so good about Cyanogen?
Colton Walker
Okay thanks user
Sebastian James
Is this phone that bad? I always loved how it looks, but heard bad things about the hardware, build quality, heat management and recently boot loops. I need a Nexus, but rather not support HTC so no Sailfish, and the 6P is too large for me.
Oliver Thompson
all smartphones are EXACTLY the same save for minor spec variations.
this thread is pointless.
Jace Rodriguez
Compare samshit with top notch hardware to the 2015 iphone 6s and watch it getting obliterated. Sure they look equal on paper but perform very differently
Dominic Stewart
okay thanks f a m what about the K10? it sounds pretty good for the money
Kevin Garcia
none but if those were the only choices then z3
Ethan Wright
can I nougat my nexus 5 yet
Camden Hill
yes
Source: I have it on right now, plan on using it as a daily driver
Levi Peterson
is it that much of an improvement from marshmallow?
my power button's fucked and getting into bootloader may take a few hours
Jeremiah Morris
From stock? Absolutely
From something like CM13 Yes
But people are reporting issues. Some say that the rear camera doesn't work properly. Mine does, so idk
Also to get into the bootloader just use adb adb reboot bootloader
Christian Russell
Guys , I've unregistered my device from the Nougat beta but I still haven't received the OTA update (downgrade in this case) Does it always take that long ? It's been almost 24 hours
Ethan Watson
lol
Michael King
>(downgrade in this case) what
Jeremiah Clark
what's funny dick I want to go back to Marshmallow
Luis Rogers
just flash the system images you pussy
Joseph Perez
i need a custom recovery for that ? or is it root ? I've never done that before I usually just root my phone for supersu
Brayden Cox
>This is your average Sup Forums user.
Nathaniel Thomas
no, i usually browse /r9k/ and Sup Forums i go on Sup Forums like once a year
>These instructions are specifically for the Nexus 5, but they will work for any Nexus device >All you need to do is make sure you have downloaded the correct factory image file >follow the instructions, replacing file names with the files names in the factory image you downloaded
Sebastian White
Get obliterated how? Are you talking s7 vs iphone 6s? Speed isn't the only thing that matters, and even in that area its not a clear win. Opening an app 2 seconds faster doesnt mean its in a different leage.
Nicholas Walker
I've had no problems with mine. Heat management? There was a few problems with thermal throttling, fixed with a few root tweaks. Build quality is definitely great, especially compared to the 6P which bends more than a pool noodle. I say go for it
>t. Google fanboy
Jaxson Robinson
Same thing could be said about any product, but i'd rather drive a bmw than a fiat.
Gavin Lopez
might pull the trigger and get the s7 is it worth it? what should i expect?
Easton Lopez
waterproof, so you can jerk it in the shower
Jayden Anderson
My backup plan if the new Nexus turns out to be a bust is the 6p or OP3. Any caveats or things I should be weary of?
Andrew Gonzalez
>6p bendy like a straw
>OP3 enjoy getting Android N some time next year
Jaxon Scott
>enjoy getting Android N some time next year I was just gonna out CM14 on it.
Jaxon Ward
In that case enjoy getting stable Android N in 2-3 months
Gavin Diaz
Beats are already looking pretty stable. Everyoneon XDA was taken aback by how quick they are this time around. Obviously updates is something Nexus phones will always be the champ at though.
Do you have experience with the 6p? I was hoping the bendgate was just a meme pushed by ifags upset over the 6s.
Camden Watson
>6p one of my m80s has one idk about the bending, but it's a bretty gud phone
David Foster
Should I get OnePlus X or XiaoMi Redmi Note 3? Which one has a better display?
Leo Cooper
The Redmi Note 3. Thanks. How's the battery life? Coming off a Nexus 5 I'm kind of done with phones that perform poorly in this area.
I'll ask one more time before giving up on this, >flash cm3 >flash opengapps >no errors, no errors or warnings in log >reboot >no gapps to be seen anywhere >back to recovery mode, flash gapps again >still nothing Why?
Isaiah Murphy
Thanks, my dudes, Note 3 it is, then OnePlus X looks sexy as fuck though. What a shame.
James Baker
Yeah you're welcome. It really is a beautiful phone, when it dropped last year it was easily the most attractive design. But there's way too many compromises in other areas imo. Go with the Redmi.
Ethan Roberts
i gave that question already in previous /spg/ thread. but noone replied.
Should i really care about battery preformance? seems most phones lasts for 1 day, not including chinkphones with 5k mah battery. its worth to pay more money for preformance of phone?
Julian Brown
Make sure it's the Pro version and _not_ the one with mediakek. fixed
Isaiah Rogers
There's no reason to assume that Marlin or Sailfish will be anything less than the best phones in their respect price range of the year. Just like the 6p last year. Marlin will learn from the mistake of discarding ois, ditch the useless front firing speakers, and be an all around superior performer. Design will be subjectively more attractive (looking more like an iPhone, though I think the 6p is beautiful) but definitely more durable unlike Huwaei's bendy disgrace. So just hang tight. Grab a 5X if you need something in the mean time.
Jayden Campbell
>useless front firing speakers too bad it won't ditch the hueg chin
Landon Kelly
Broke the glass on my trusty old S3. Now I'm considering the LG G5, because it has a removable battery and thats a must for me - I'm not gonna ditch a perfectly functioning device after 2-3 years just because battery is at 60% of original capacity and cannot be replaced. I want to get like 5 years out of a flagship phone, unless I accidentally break it like the S3.
Apparently the LG G5 sells like shit, because in my country its the cheapest snapdragon 820 phone and is like $100 cheaper than the S7 and the OP3 (which is overpriced here). I guess that's because the S7 is a lot nicer looking and the shilling has been immense for this phone. Idon't mind the looks, because I will put it in a case anyway.
Are there any dealbreakers I should know about regarding the G5?
Asher Morgan
>Are there any dealbreakers I should know about regarding the G5? Both the G3, G4 and V10 have bootloop issues and you have to RMA the device.
Christian Jenkins
>just because battery is at 60% of original capacity and cannot be replace you can get non-removable batteries replaced wait for lg v20. lg has to make a great phone or else it is deep in shit.
Easton Bailey
Is the OnePlus 3 the best option available within its price range? What are some alternatives?
I can't wait for upcoming models, I need a replacement asap
Xavier Brooks
If camera is more important than anything else: G3
If everything else is important and camera isnt a big thing: z3
Easton Green
The phones has been out for over 6 months and I found only few reddit and xda posts about this. I guess its just a small percentage of defective units, not a general problem.
Yeah you can get the battery replaced, but the costs can go as high as $100 unless you do it yourself. After 3 years the device itself will have a value of like $150.
I've also heard about the shit build quality around the bottom removable part, but that should be irrelevant if I put the phone in a case.
Alexander Robinson
Anyone have Project Fi? How is it? Was thinking of using it.
Blake Hall
I'm holding one right now. Just got it yesterday.
cons -Gets really hot, like worrisomely so, form moderately intense tasks like OS updates -Speaker (ear and loud) quality is rough. Tinny/metallic. Passable for conversations, bad for music -many reports of battery problems with nougat -yellowish screen on some units (mine incl) -No SD card slot -image stabilisation on videos you take sucks. Shakey cam.
Everything else is good/great tier. 120 fps video is tons of fun, better than moto's implementation. Would have been disappointed at launch price, but for $200 it's a fucking steal.
I've had a Moto G LTE for two years, and it's starting to show it's age. I was planning on buying the new Nexus soon, but they just got pushed back.
The Moto G4, released in May, is currently £130 on Amazon UK and is looking mighty tasty at that price. Snapdragon 617 with 2Gb RAM and a MicroSD slot. Any opinions?
Jaxon Parker
Yeah it's ok.
Jayden Barnes
any newer software will have less battery life at the first couple of days. same for iphones.
Nolan Morales
No m8, there's a bug that has been persistent for 3+ months. A service called 'android system' sucks up more battery than the screen.
Lincoln Ramirez
which one out of these three budget smartphones should i go for?
>Samsung Galaxy Xcover 3 >Sony Xperia E3 >LG LEON
Ryan Fisher
A better job.
James Jones
Moto E
Try Kingroot to root it, should be fairly straight forward, no PC required
ROMs differ per phone, usually CyanogenMod is fairly barebones, and you can remove unwanted apps once you have rooted it CyanogenMod is basically just plain Android with some extra features (like theming, extra settings). CyanogenMod is generally considered to be the go-to ROM as it has the biggest community and therefor generally the most stable, if you don't know or care too much about ROMs, go with CM.
The OPX is discontinued, so good luck getting one in the first place The RN4 was announced today, so have a look at that
Jaxson Thomas
Should I buy an HTC 10 now or wait a month and buy the V20?
Andrew Robinson
Haven't they stopped developing CM though?
Colton Lee
I'm on cm 12.1 on my xperia zr. Is resurrection remix a good rom? This one is on 6.0.1 already and I'd like to see marshmallow one day.
Adrian Sanchez
did i fucked up buying the redmi note 3 pro and not just wait for the note 4 snapdragon version to come out?
You answered it yourself. It doesn't really matter, you'll charge your phone every night unless your a poweruser in that case you'll need a powerbank regardless.
LADS Redmeme note 3 or Axon 7?
How do they actually handle in reality?
Dominic Cruz
axon because of build quality
Hudson Anderson
Should I wait for the Redmi 4 to buy a cheap 5 inch smartphone?
Brandon Russell
Note 7 worth it guys? if so which color?
Cooper Turner
How can I root my xiaomeme redmi note 3 pro? Do I need to unlock the bootloader and wait for my request to be accepted?
Hey lad, I don't have any experience with RR but the unofficial santosh build of CM13 works without bugs for me so far.
Elijah Rivera
Does anybody have the most recent Sup Forums approved apps list?
Christopher Powell
So how usable is this still in 2016? How usable will it be in 2017?
Will BB10 still get security updates? Will I still be able to use Whatsapp after support ends in 2016?
Are there any issues I should know about? Aside from the double typing problem?
Grayson Wilson
Still having trouble deciding between the robin and 5x.
They're almost identical specs-wise, but >robin has 3GB RAM, nexus has 2 >robin has "132gb" of storage, nexus has 32 >nexus has better community support, and has nougat already, robin will be getting a nougat based rom in q4 >robin is a e s t h e t i c >nexus has both ports on the bottom but otherwise they're the same, same display size, resolution, CPU, etc
