Is the Moto z worth getting over the Moto z play if it comes with the battery mod for free?
Jackson Ortiz
Just installed win10 and it won't read my RN3P. I feel retarded, I've tried everything I found on google. I don't have wpdmtp.inf in my inf folder and even with the drivers I downloaded it's not showing up. I'm so fucking stupid.
Grayson Clark
About to get a Moto Z Play for tomorrow, any objections?
Hunter Price
They're going to announce a new Moto Z soon. Either spend the same amount of money and get the newer model or spend less money and get the current model
Jordan Baker
?? What are you trying to do?
Jose Nelson
About to get the OnePlus 3T and hook it up with Tmobile? It works with Tmobile right? I'm in south Florida brehs
Hunter Long
What options are there for front facing stereo speakers? Besides HTC (every photo I've seen from a HTC has looked out of focus) and the ZTE Axon 7 (heard it has issues with WiFi/phone signals)
Thomas Taylor
Yeah.
Ayden Thomas
Just trying to connect it. The PC won't read it because it hasn't got the drivers
Isaac Mitchell
Sony Xperia phones
Nolan Howard
No drivers required to view an android device as a mass storage device afaik. Did you configure it on your phone?
Colton Murphy
It worked just fine with Windows 7, formatted yesterday and upgraded to win 10 but it doesn't show up
>Sony Don't they have massive issues RE overheating and poor software?
Christopher Barnes
I've seen unveiling dates but that's it
Connor Jackson
I installed the drivers but it's still not showing up on "this pc"
Gabriel Brown
Restart your PC and change cables, it's always something silly like this.
Jeremiah Jones
Nigga fuck your gross op
Brody Jones
why is smartphone general basically android general?
are all of you too poor to own a real smartphone like the iphone 7?
Nolan Wood
No
The z5c and z3 'ultra' (idr what it was called) are the only ones that overheated The software is alright. Annoying to deal with when modding (like, really obnoxious), but it's by no means bad from a user perspective
Fixing shit like this is getting old. I want to use my phone, not troubleshoot it. Apple's getting my money come September.
Brandon Morales
Anyone here has a Samsung a9? Want a big smartphone and it looks nice
Michael Foster
In my search for a cheap (not more than 400€) phone I realized that fingerprint scanners are just too convenient to let go so I won't settle for anything not having them.
So far in my quest I considered the following:
>Another note 4 - sure that would be great but they cost way too much
>LG G5 SE - was told they are pretty underpowered and battery is bad - scanner is on the back
>Oneplus 3T - Don't know anything yet, just read a few reviews but still I have no clear idea about it
So what about that oneplus 3T? what's bad about it?
Andrew Bennett
there's literally zero reason to use an Android device unless you absolutely have to able to torrent and sideload anime on the go
Leo Price
Are they going to continue the moto mods? Or at least continue having microSD slot ?
I'm considering switching to an android phones, because Apples prices are absolutely ridiculous.
What am I in for? I'm tempted for a Oneplus 3T.
Luis Reed
Just get the OP3T, it's almost the perfect android phone. Really the only thing missing is a SD slot.
Jayden Hall
I do neither of those things. I used to love Android but as I get older I want shit to just work.
Bentley Gomez
How long until they announce the next Oneplus
Jordan Allen
Anyone here have the HTC10? If so I'd like to hear your thoughts on it. Thinking of getting one.
Jaxson Taylor
Random errors. Lag. No updates. Inconsistent battery life. Inferior versions of the apps.
Caleb Roberts
Around June 2017
Hunter Anderson
I look at the two and I think the Z Play specs are more than fine for me.
So I would get the Z Play PLUS the battery mod anyway for >SUPER ULTIMATE BATTERY MASTER RACE You'd have the biggest battery dick on all of Sup Forums Think about it brah...
Robert Lopez
I'm debating whether to buy a OnePlus 3 or not. Can someone give me the rundown on this Chinese phone manufacturer?
Nicholas Ortiz
How the hell do I rename a file in the /etc/permissions folder? Amaze File Explorer and Ghost Commander both fail, and even a terminal emulator fails too. The instructions I'm looking up say I need Root Explorer; do I really need that one in particular?
(I'm trying to remove the S-Finder and Quick Connect bar from my Note 4, in case you're wondering why I'm dicking around in that part of the file system.)
Adam Cruz
>buy Samshit >"it's Android's fault!"
Motofag here Basically stock Android Not a single problem since day one No freezes, no crashes, no drains, no overheating, no slowdowns, or any of that shit

>most popular Android phone manufacturer produces subpar phones >public perception is that Android is interior to iOS really fires those neurons.
Charles Davis
yeah they produce an entire range of phones with their own skin basic shit familia :)
Jonathan Miller
Most of the public is dumb. Then there's a section which isn't dumb but is super busy (extremely under-pressure professionals working long hours, or mothers with multiple very young children) and so doesn't have time to research.
But if you're on Sup Forums then I'm pretty sure you have time to research. That user could have done even a tiny bit of research before buying and he would have found out about Touchwiz performance visavis stock Android or other manufacturers' software. No excuse.
Tyler Gomez
You're missing the point. Good UX design shouldn't be something that people have to research. With Apple, you know you're getting a great product. With Android, researching which phone you're gonna buy turns into a month long project. It's just not worth it for anyone with a life. Buy an iPhone.
Logan Thompson
Yeah I get that. I'm not saying it's the way it should be, but it's the way it is right now.
I agree with you when it comes to iPhones of the past. But since they started removing basic features, even that has started to become overly complicated.
It's funny cause my Moto G4 started having freezing issues related to its gimmicky display bullshit, as well as heat issues related to charging. Meanwhile my Galaxy Note 4 hasn't had either issue, nor the battery drain issue you're responding to.
Parker Stewart
>TFW in Canada and getting fucked hard on my plan
i'm paying $45/month for a pile of bullshit. WTF D OI DO
Thomas Johnson
man I see deals all the time for better plans >60$ 6gb etc do you not jump on them?
Wyatt Price
Public mobile? I got kiked into signing up with Wind, fuck this company
>Lte only on 2 shit phones >Constantly enter roaming somehow >dropped/missed calls/texts (friend said he texted me a day ago but i only get it later)
Wyatt Gutierrez
was that the one running at the end of last year? try the manitoba koodo plan thing, that one's p nice
Nathan Watson
What do you mean? Public Mobiles' deal? It was running a couple months ago, right now it's $40/month for 2gb data, unlimited talk and text
Justin Sullivan
If you get it, make sure it's the newer 3T. Basically it's a phone near the level of the highest end flagships but around 200 cheaper. Their interface is pretty near stock Android. It's not water resistant though
Leo Bell

Angel Wright
ZUK
Nathaniel Watson
honor 8 serves me well
Elijah Bailey
Is the pajeet rom really the best one for the zuk z2? Any other alternatives?
Lincoln Davis
DT2 owner here, there's a bug where the camera crashes after a few weeks of uptime. Rebooting isn't enough I also have to wipe the system cache. Pretty fucking annoying when I go to take a picture but I have to spend 5 minutes turning it off, getting into the bootloader, wiping the cache, and rebooting. I also haven't seen an update since October although I knew going in that Verizon cucked devices would be shit for updates, thank fuck I didn't pay full price for it.
Moto just honestly sucks now, their updates are slow as fuck even for unlocked phones and they drop support after devices are barely a year old.
I'd like to be able to get something like a OnePlus 3T or an Honor 8 but Verizon coverage is life. Hopefully I can get a good deal on an unlocked pixel once the new one's drop this Fall.
Joshua Gray
I'm curious, I have a note 4, when using it, it can get quite warm, have Samsung phones like the s7 improved on this? or is this generally something that is normal for smartphones?
Xavier Sullivan
mokee.
Easton Morales
Don't have too much money to buy a new phone with, but I can get an Xperia Z3 for a good price. Is buying a phone from late 2014 too old to warrant a purchase? Won't be doing any mobile gaming aside from a little emulator shit for the most part.
Luis Nelson
As someone who had a Z3, it's a great phone that has a couple issues, but I'd rather have a newer phone that has a fingerprint scanner any day of the week, like a G4 or G4 Plus preferably.
Robert Bailey
Thanks, I'll make sure to get it it then. I'd get a G4 if I could, but the Z3 used in good condition is only a hundo which is too good a deal to pass up. I had a galaxy s5 and never used the fingerprint scanner.
Aaron Jackson
Hello.
I need a replacement to my phone (Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus).
I saved like 200 euros and I need a mobile that it's not a meme.
I live in Spain so I have over price in almost every shop, so what do you recommend?
Henry Fisher
If you're willing to look used do that to save a few dollars. Just be smart about it
Lucas Mitchell
Give me ONE reason not to switch to Public Mobile in Canada.
Zuk Z2 has the best specs, fastest and future proofing. SD820+4GB RAM.
Redmi 4 Prime has a really awesome battery(4100 mAh). 9-10 hours SoT easy. SD625 is quite adequate.
So decide what matters to you more, performance or battery life. Z2 can also pull 6-7H SoT with its 3500 mAh battery but not as long as the R4P.
Lincoln Hall
btw they both have unofficial custom roms. Zuk has mokee and CM/LOS and R4P has one too. unlocking and flashing on the Zuk is easier because you don't need to wait for permission from Xiaomi.
Gabriel Diaz
If you can live without the aux port then yes. It will come with a USBC to AUX adaptor though.
>Moto Z Force >Pros Battery life is solid. Sound quality is good. Front facing camera with actual flash is surprisingly good. Moto mods pop on and off easy as fuck and still hold onto the phone as long as you don't drop it. Main camera is pretty fucking good.
>CONS Moto mods are limited and pricy as shit ($300 for a camera that's only marginally better than the one on the phone?) Forced to deal with Verizon bloat. No aux is pretty gay. Phone is just oddly slippery.
Overall I dig it. Worthy successor to my Droid Turbo.
I did, it says bands work for some on LTE. (whatever the fuck that means)
But I checked my carrier forums and people say they used Redmi 3 successfully.
Idk honestly I've been fine with my nexus 4 besides the shitty battery. Don't really need much more specs-wise, just a better camera would be great.
Colton Lewis
>Researching what brand of computer to buy is hard. No one with a life will compare Dell to HP. >Just buy a Mac.
Believe it or not, people will actually look into the device they will be using daily for a year or two. I know that spending 30 minutes comparing models might sound like a ton of time for someone with the attention span of a toddler, but plenty of adults are fully capable.
Is there a way to sync photos in Google Photos to iPhoto?
I am looking to switch between my iPhone 7 plus and my 6p frequently because I like each of them, but want to make sure my pictures stay in sync.
The iPhone syncs to Google Photos fine but I want the Google Photos to sync new stuff taken on my 6p back to my iPhone.
Samuel Adams
Turn off selinux and try again. You will need to flash a custom kernel if you're using touchwiz since selinux is hard coded to enforcing.
Root explorer is not required.
Grayson Jones
His phone isn't the Z force though, it's the fucking Z, the one motorola shat out in 2016 merely to have a "flagship" then backpedaled immediately by making the based Z play.
>2600 mAh for UHD AMOLED
Enjoy that 2 hours SoT you fucking cuck, even with the moto battery mod it still amounts to a measly 4000, most xiaomis pack a 4100 mAh battery and even the meme s7 edge comes with 3600.
Colton Bailey
that's like asking facebook to sync with your arch linux gallery
but really, there probably is a way but most people aren't retarded enough to own/store anything important in the phone's storage, sd slot or bust
Henry Walker
Did you have a stroke halfway through the second sentence?
Cooper Williams
maybe
Josiah King
oh fuk
Nathan Anderson
But yeah I might just get the Zuk z2 then, even though it sounds really fucking retarded.
Anyone in Canada using the zuk z2? Particulary ontario. Want to use it on virgin/public mobile.
Suppose they both use bell towers anyway.
Gavin Hill
WTF I LOVE INDIA NOW
Connor Davis
literal same story here breh
Adrian Hughes
Does the one plus 3T really have no cons at all?
I've been looking for excuses to not get it but I keep only seeing recommendations
Juan Rogers
Some people are reporting massive issues with the battery after updating to nougat, we're talking the phone shutting off at 30%, sometimes not charging past 80%, the SoT dropping from the usual 6-7 hours to barely 4 and horrendous idle drain despite nougat's improved doze mode being one of it's main draws (overnight ie 8 hours it sucked a mere 2-4 percent, now it can eat up to 25% even if you put it in airplane mode), staying on marshmallow isn't an option either since the nougat update fixed some ringtone issues and touchscreen latency/lag so your only options are either sucking it up and staying on M or unlocking to try a custom rom+kernel.
There's also the no SD slot part but the phone is so good and "cheap" (for what it offers) that most people don't mind making backups of their data every few days.
