how shit is huawei in terms of updates

my 4 year old galaxy s3 started to behave strangely, sometimes it just flashes the display and turns off with 30%-40% of battery left. Today it happened with 67%. My on-screen time became shit, like 40 minutes tops. This all happened gradually over last half a year so I didn't pay attention at first. Will battery replacement help?

Third for zuk

Okay so it seems like the touchscreen of my phone is kill. See pic related for a test. I dropped it from about two meters height. It was in a case.. is there a way to fix this or is it kill? That shit is annoying af..

Why should I buy a smartphone when I can buy a tablet and use it with earphones/mic

No you poor neet. get a job and buy a new phone.

kill yourself retard

Ok guys the moto g4+ and the zte axon 7 are the two phones I have been eyeing, I might lean towards the moto g4+ but I am not sure

If anyone has any other recommendations please let me know

lmao. kys dumb fag.

doesn't sound like a battery problem if the screen is flashing.

You can give it a try and get a new battery, they aren't that expensive. But I think you have a hardware fault.

It's a chinkphone and there are no videos about screen replacement or support for it..

>Pokemon go
HAHAHA

Serves you right for not using a case and screen protector.

Axon is miles better.

I use a screen protector and case. The screen isn't broken not a single crack or dent in the body. Just a part of the screen doesn't react....

QUICK WHICH IS BETTER OP3T or XPERIA XZ

what phone?

>HAHAHA

So?
>hurr durr game is ded

My ass its dead, my park always has pokemon go players, even before the updates.

>Axon is miles better

Hmm, I also came across moto X pure, any thoughts or no?

Who fell for the /pixel/ meme

I secretly love it. Except the price...

Also Battery life is shit tho and the bezels make me angry, and the speakers are shit.

ZUK Z2

>Great custom rom support
>Everything inside the phone is modular
>Great headphone Amp
>Great DAC
>Great speakers
>Tip top build quality
>Great designs
>Innovative
>Great android skin

And yet they are always the underdog.
Feels bad man.

The battery on the pure is trash and SD808 is overheating crap.
SD820 on the Axon is far better than SD617 on the G4 too and the audio quality is superb.

>get moto g a few years ago
>it's pretty cool
>update to lollipop
>now it's a laggy piece of shit

Yeah, I will most likely go for zte axon 7, do you think the 4gb ram/64gb storage will drop down father than 350? (50 dollars off already)

My m4 aqua broke and i sent it in to carphone warehouse to get fixed as it was coverd under the manfacturer warranty. They couldnt fix it and gave me a Galaxy s6 128gb brand new as a replacement, I'm chuffed.

Probably not this year.

because you're a poorfag but still want to take edgy artistic shots of water droplets on leaves and oversaturate the shit out of them

I hope you get hit by a bus as you try to catch a mewtwo in the middle of a highway, fucking stupid twat.

Carphone Warehouse currently have some decent deals on S7E and Xperia XZ. £31/mo for 5gb data and unlimited everything else. Not sure to buy or wait for the OP3T release on Monday

who, HTC?

Okay thanks alot m8. But still this would be my first diy screen replacement. It's has a glass back. Do you think I can do it the same way as the Xperia phones?

Yup.

LOLOLOL

Are you this fucking stupid??
>believe mewtwo is in the game
>thinks I don't value my life over a pixelated game
>thinks anons shitposting is gold
>probably got banned from said game, and is butthurt

user im sorry you tried to bot, and got caught.

No idea m80 I never did it myself before 2bh.
here's a disassembly guide:

Aww man I really thought the pure x was the one for me :(

>have to buy an iPhone because there's no other choice
>be fine with the lack of headphone jack
>be fine with the proprietary lightning port
>be fine with the non-AMOLED screen
>be annoyed about the lack of a proper file system and upload ability, because I can just get it using a Jailbreak tweak
>realize you can't play fucking webms in a browser

Fucking dropped. How am I supposed to masturbate with this shit? Fuck, what phone do I get? I already had an s7 edge and I fucking dropped it on a glass scale which fucked the screen glass up.

Can I use axon 7 on Tmobile in the US?

>Mewtwo isn't in the game
Well that's pretty fucking gay, I don't know why you even bother wasting storage space with that stupid program

Does anyone have the LG V20? How are they liking it?

just get a regular s7 it has the best screen for watching porn and VR porn

My other choices are
LG G5
HTC 10
Blackberry Priv
Google Pixel (non XL)
I need a big, beautiful phone with a good camera and hopefully good custom rom support

Flashed a custom ROM for the first time on my RN3. Is flashing SuperSu worth it when CM has root built in?

Can anyone pleas send me a black friday sale that's actually significant ? I just want a ~250 phone

newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875606079

Mewtwo will be released apparently on new years eve at popular places through out the US.

Well you guys tried to warn me, I've got the LG G5 2 weeks ago and already there is a technical problem. My G5 can read my sim card but there is a error where it won't recieve or send out calls and texts and won't activate the data. It'll work on other phones though no problem.

Now I have to send it out tomorrow. If It wasn't passed the 15 day return policy I'd return this piece of shit. I'm so disapoint in myself /spg/

>I need a big, beautiful phone with a good camera and hopefully good custom rom support
that gets rid of the priv and probably g5 too

>buying anything LG ever

Sorry m8

Is it worth it to you? idgi

Axon 7 or Axon Pro?

The pro is $100 less
The camera is important to be, I believe the 7 is better in that regard?

>Have 2 LG TVs and a monitor
>All randomly shut off; the TVs have to be fucking hit to be turned back on

Yea, fuck LG.

Axon pro has the housfire 810. 7 all the way.

Any better phones than Moto G4/G4 Play in the $100-$180 price range?

>In burgerland
>Must work with AT&T LTE
>Must have decent camera

Should I get the P9 on black friday sale or wait until OP3T is released?

OP3T is better.

i considered gambling it before too. not anymore. thanks user. sorry for your woes.

wow seems legit. was considering moto pure x but anons say its chip overheats. considering this now.

P9 is cheaper.

when is op3t releasing?

28th of november

where do i buy from?

It's sad, I'm still using the G2 which was (is) a great phone. They really need to sort their production issues out as their design is still pretty good.

>kirin
Is that shit actually good ?

Still no mSD slut I suppose?

nah but 128 internal is nice.

>He isnt purchasing a One Plus 3T for the holidays

how do I make a GS4 mini not run like molasses?

i'm wondering the same. seems like a good deal to me, but i've only just started following.

how is the sd821?

Yes, mine worked flawlessly

I currently have a nexus 5.

Is the zuk z2 a decent upgrade for me? I want a better camera, battery life, and performance without spending too much.
It'll be ~500 aud for me, almost half the price of the HTC 10.

Axon 7 rules. Fucking love mine.

Is it possible to install custom ROM on the Huawei Y6? Wanting Cyanogen or AOKP

>>>/xda/

What

or the 820?

Or the 650?

just google huawei y6 xda and browse the forum.

or the 101?

OR AN INTEL CORE I7 870

OR AN INTEL PENTIUM 4 2.7GHZ

Xda is fucking useless, someone tell me how to root a Huawei Y6 LYO-L02 pls

Okay, I want to replace my Galaxy S4 this Black Friday, and I'm looking for recommendations.

I'm on Verizon, live in the US, I don't want anything too big, and I'm looking to spend around $200.

Any suggestions?

Moto g4 is a nice choice

Who has it on sale?

Using an LG G4.
Are there any good batteries out there? Sometimes use my phone with without having time to charge so a second battery would be good.

I'm a complete newfag here in burgerland (I lived in Siberia swamp for all my life but got kicked out for shitposting on /po/) and I want to shill my Xiaomi like OP tells me. Please help me:

Plan: Order Redmi 4 Prime on honorbuy.
Ship it to burgerland.
Insert t-mobile sim.
Shitpost via LTE.

Will it work?

S7E vs Pixel XL

go

(they're both shit)

idk check the bands and if tmobile has any weird approved devices list

Gonna go out tonight (or tomorrow) to buy a new phone, what is the best thing i should get if im looking for something with good battery life and decent storage?
Southeast us

> checking bands
> bands don't match
Thank you user, looks like you've saved me from a shamefur dispray.

Bump

really fucking bad
honor 5x is less than a year old and its not getting nougat

I'm new to Android, on 5.1, how can I update to 6?

I own it 7hours sot are average. But I dropped it from 2 meters height or something and now the upper half of the touchscreen doesn't respond. I use a case. Be careful. I'm running resourection Remix without bugs for two months. No LTE for europe.

When you people ask about a certain phone's update-abily why don't you just assume to be able to put cm on it?
Is it about warranty?
Really bad English sorry.

Some people are to retarded to use adb

Is rooting for Viper4Android worth it?
I've heard great things about it but not sure if it's audiophile placebo stuff
