The Honor 8 honestly looks pretty good for the price. I see a few brand new ones on Swappa for less than $300. I'm concerned about the name. Honor... 8? Were there really 8 of these things? How have I never heard of them?
I don't really like and trust chink companies, but I'm impressed with that honor 8. Is it really good ? Is there any not-chink phone close to the honor 8 for that price range (

My Moto G Titan can't run Snapchat anymore. Everything slows to a crawl and messages disappear. I know it's poorly optimized for Android but fuck, I guess 1GB RAM doesn't cut it anymore.

Time for a new phone.
Best thing you can get for $300.

To the user that asked about the robin battery life:
>this thing looked really nice, but the battery being that small concerned me. Hows the battery life for you user?
Decent, but I don't use my phone too much during the day. Approx. 2 days from full charge, but I typically recharge every night. Primary use is typically screen, playing songs held locally, and camera. I usually don't stream any video or music.

Riddle me this: phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linux-4.9-Staging-Pull Google's project Ara is supposedly scrapped, but Greybus, the thing that would make Ara work, still got into Linux kernel. And GregKH says that Motorola will use that shit. Does that mean that we will get to see Ara-like project after all? Because that makes me hyped for optional physical keyboard. I'm still on HTC Desire Z because of it, because hipsters and homos took that option away from me by wanting thin phones instead of functional phones.

Xiaomi just approved unlocking my device. There's no time limit on that, right?
Matthew Diaz
nope. you need dev rom to unlock.

Sup Forums I need your help, what's the most budget phone that is still usable and doesn't shit itself alter a year? 150-180$ max. Am I asking too much for the price?
Kevin Moore
Any update on the Mi5C?
I'm looking forward to being impressed.

Could anyone upload the 12/07 build of CM14 for osprey? Later versions are literally unusable and I stupidly updated without making any backup.
Jordan Hernandez
Dropped my OPO. What phone should I get now. Needs to work well with TMobile. I'm not a gaymer I just use email and firefox.
Ethan Cooper
Can I flash the India ROM on the Chinese version of the Zuk Z2?
Leaf (Canadian) here. Looking for a phone with good battery and a decent processor for less than 300 CAD. Much obliged.
Nolan Morris
Quite stable on my Redmeme 3 (the one with 5" screen). It's smooth as fuck and everything works my phamalam.
Isaac Gomez
Any reason there's no mention's of Oppo's phones? They don't seem too bad?
Ethan Richardson
Because Zuk

Will flashing stock ROM save the day?

finally got my miUnlock permissions, and im tempted to install CM, but I kinda like MIUI too, and i've heard xiaomi.eu roms are actually good... ?

sorry for the name, redmi note 3 pro that is

Legendary Nexus 5 here.
Is there a 5"/5.2" max phone with at least 3GB/32GB with good custom rom support?
I don't expect something like the Nexus series, but it should at least be supported "unofficially" for a while and without too much hassle.
Mi5 is ok but I hear that dealing with MIUI is a pain and unlocking is not so easy. Zuk Z2 doesn't seem to have much support for now.
I'd like a 5" OP3(T)...

Fuck off you lying shit.

Sure.

No OTA on xiaomi.eu
Just stick with the global rom unless you have to. all the other roms have some issues with fp and camera.

How is the UI on ZUK Z2? Is there a stable version of Cyanogenmod for it?
Xavier Hughes
My Note4 works fine but as soon as the battery level drops below 55% or something, DANGER MODE starts and at any given moment the battery can suddenly drop to 4% and if I don't find a charger it'll die pretty quick. If I do heavy lifting like live stream, it can do the mega-drop at around 80%!
Is this a common problem? Will the problem fix itself if I buy a new battery or do I have to change my charging port?
Cameron Thomas
I bought redmi note 4. What case would you recommend that doesn't cover the fingerprint scanner?
Joshua Watson
Trash. there's RR which is similar.
Nillkin. also your should have bought the RN3P.
Logan Harris
thanks will have it in mind :) I can stay with a decent/debloated version of xiaomi .eu and update from time to time manually, don't need every update, i'd rather have a working version. i can feel the bloat on my 2/16gb version... i use it mainly for mails/IM, but still the app reload when changing is slightly irritating. On the other hand i can wait until rn4p comes and order it with more ram....
David Howard
We know that's not your daily driver. Go shill on another forum pajeet.
Caleb King
Yeah shoulda bought the 3/32 ver. MiUI takes almost 900MB to itself idling.
Ryder Russell
It's not bad, but it takes some getting used to. It's much better than miui 2bh.
I don't own a zuk phone, but a workmate actually has the white and gold z2 pro. It's a pretty sweet phone imo. Still happy with my LG G3, but maybe next year might look at zuk z3 pro if they keep this up. Otherwise will probably just grab Samsung s8 edge.
William Reed
Can you give a link please :)
Charles Cruz
To add to this, she was showing me how the home button works. Apple should really take some hints, it's really creative and intuitive, especially when you want to multitask between 2 or 3 apps and you can just swipe to each one on the home button.
RMNP 3 is older and has worse features Only advantage is the greater chance of third party ROMS, but I'm not a ricer. Once my RMN 4 gets out of date, I'll just throw it away and buy a new one. At these prices, they are pretty much disposable. Could buy a new one every 9 months and still end up spending less than buying a flagship every 3 years
Jackson Smith
Thanks
Liam Bailey
1st december here on MIUI chink stable.
How are other brands (except Google) with these patches? I don't think most manufacturers give a shit desu.
Leo Reed
You mean cheaper yet better
Wyatt Gonzalez
Is it true that the zuk z2 stock rom kills your alarm clock and random apps for no reason. It has 4g of ram why the need to kill apps? Can that be fixed. Its 170$ and am on the edge of getting it.
Joshua Williams
It doesn't do that lmao. Check zukforums, if that was true you'd find a fuckload of complaints there and on xda.
It's miui that's over aggressive with power management and sometimes kills your alarm clock. Partly why cm13 is so popular for it.
Camden Hernandez
It does. ignore the Z(C)uck shill. all chinaphones do that so you need to give them permissions in the battery manager.
Jordan Baker
Is Zuk Z2 the best budget phone on the market or are there better alternatives? How is the actual user experience with this phone? Is it smooth or does the default UI make a shitty experience?
Robert Young
anyone ever used a lifeproof case? how are they. I can get one for about 20 bucks atm
Joseph Fisher
Yo anons, newbie here. I've currently got an iPhone 6 Plus and am looking for an upgrade. I want to try an android phone but I'm not entirely sold on it so any help would be appreciated. What benefits (no matter how obvious) do androids have over iOS? I'm looking at either a Oneplus3T or a pixel XL. Thanks in advance to any anons who bother to reply.
Adam Diaz
They do, they're just being deleted to hide it from prospective buyers.
Mason Powell
Depends on your budget and taste.
Eli Rodriguez
What about the Xperia XZ? How does that compare on your list?
Dominic Rogers
>factory reset
Thats where you fucked up mang, before fucking around with your phone you always make a nandroid (ie system) backup of your phone and restore it if anything goes wrong, you need a custom recovery like twrp to do this however.
Alexander Torres
Well, it's too late now. Couldn't use qfil to flash stock rom, it failed at 99% or something with firehose error but I managed to put twrp on internal storage. Wasn't possible to boot in recovery mode but adb was working so I did adb shell then since twrp could be run in command line mode I was able to enable sideload and now I'm going to see if flashing cm is possible. If not, I guess I'll have to go and see Pajeet...
Cooper Thomas
but i suppose .EU roms would be feelingly lighter than stock miui...
Noah Wood
What are the advantages of a xiaomi.eu ROM anyway? No Chinese bloat and mostly comparable to cm in terms of privac?
Nathaniel Lee
i think you keep the goodies from miui, PRC Botnet removed, at what extent it's actually good... i dunno, but plan to find out
Isaac Peterson
Hype me up for my new zuk z2 coming in the mail please. I'm coming from a shitty xperia z1 where the touchscreen didn't work half the time, and a galaxy s2 before that
Liam Walker
holy fuck this thread and the idea of it is garbage. fucking christ you consumerist retard dickhead fascists .
Daniel Nelson
bought the x compact, long story short; above average phone with obligatory case for protection - scratchable plastic
Daniel Morgan
.eu is MIUI on steroids and mostly debloated (though they keep some MIUI basic framework), but same as CyanogenMod they trigger the security check on some apps (banking, payments...) and games (dem pogaymons) even if they're unrooted.
Isaiah Price
I bought an axon 7 new for $320 on eBay. Was very very unhappy with it. The speakers weren't any louder or clearer than my other phone (oneplus one), the camera performed poorly in 95% of situations I put it in (mostly interested in HD video, slow motion video, and lower light stills). The software was so unbearable, so i put cm13 unofficial release for a2017. It was less buggy and more bearable in general but the speakers distorted on anything above half volume. This was my first phone with a fingerprint sensor so I have noting to compare, but it seemed fine. Also, bootloader unlocked warning message expended boot by 10+seconds, making it very slow. I wouldn't recommend it. Op3t instead for me, would recommend op3 regular for anyone on that budget.
Tyler Reed
Xiaomi Redmi Pro or ZUK Z2?
Levi Moore
I frankly don't really care about banking apps since I don't use them. I'm happy if I can remove gapps so it won't have any spyware on it anymore.
Nolan Rivera
I did it.
I just bought an s7e. First time upgrading from my Note II.
Chase Wood
Zuk Z2.
Carson Johnson
overpriced and in general is worst than Z5 or Z3 flagships. Sony is going downhill since the whole X Performance shit they released.
Landon Evans
isn't RR based on CM anyway.........
Camden Lewis
So what the correct procedure for unlocking rn3p ? I have to flash the normal way global dev, and then unlock with the tool ?
Jack Rogers
RN3P is generally better.
Angel Harris
Why there is no phone with 1 sim slot and 2 microSD slots, instead of 2 sim and 1 SD?
Samuel Reyes
It was horrible on early builds, but it works fine on my Zenfone 2 laser now.
Nathan Bailey
should i wait for boxing day or just buy the axon 7 now? i dont know what to expect or if theres going to be a sale that would push me to spend on the next price range
Grayson Diaz
Note 5 and s7 edge have the same size screen. Who wrote this?
