I'm new to phones. Are different ROMs like branches of the base Android OS? When Android updates from 10.1 to 10.2.1 do the different ROMs apply those updates to their branch? Using a custom ROM like LineageOS wont mean that I'm foregoing security updates, rather the opposite, I'll get more frequent updates as carriers abandon their branches after a year or so right?
Jaxon Hill
US AT&T Mostly used for browsing the web and playing some random gachi card game. Budget is less then 500 dollar preferred but its essentially unlimited if the phone is worth the extra money. Currently have a Galaxy S4 and would enjoy something a little larger but not mini tablet sized. What kinda phone should I look into?

Where the hell is the flowchart? All Google brings up are threads where people ask for the chart and it never gets posted.

Sadly it is sort of the truth. All gaming nowadays seems empty and soulless compared to even 10 years ago.
As much as I love TF2, I sort of blame it for starting the "pay to git gud" idea

Thanks for confirming. I'm trying to treat phones as just small low powered computers with weird file systems. I cant seem to find any decent repositories of information without searching shit like "Android for beginners". The custom ROM sites themselves dont seem to advertise why I should use them, what changes they make, what differentiates them from their competitors like I expect with *nix flavors

Both are good. Just up to your preference. I have 10 because I wanted the DAC but XZ is IP rated and still has front speakers
Lucas Ramirez
If I buy a Xiaomi phone and it's got the global rom + playstore flashed to it, does that mean that the bootloader is unlocked or no?
Just curious as unlocking the bootloader on newer Xiaomi devices (specifically the Redmi Note 4X) seems like it's prone to errors and not always successful. It would be easier to get a phone with an unlocked bootloader because I would be flashing shit ASAP (don't want to deal with MIUI)
Luke Ortiz
It varies. If you do your research you can find plenty of chinkphones with partial or full LTE support on AT&T/T-Mobile. LeEco, BLU, and most Huawei phones have full support for bands 2-4-5-12. The Redmi Note 3 has 2-4-5 but other Xiaomis have just band 5 or possibly no American LTE bands at all. A lot of them have multiple versions as well, which just makes it harder.
The G5 works on all the American networks, even the CDMA ones, so it's idiot-proof.
Carson Rogers
I bought a Google Pixel XL 128gb. Hopefully no bootloop issues like the G4. I finally got rid of my G4 and I'm happy.
Nolan James
>phone died saturday >new one won't come until Thursday or Friday
Aaron Murphy
Do you need compatibility with all bands for it to work properly in a certain country or just at least one of them, or does that depend on region/state?
Justin Peterson
Ok get a Sony they do compact
Jackson Martinez
Depends on where you are and your carrier. T-Mobile uses bands 2, 4, and 12, but they mainly rely on band 4. AT&T uses 2, 4, 5, and 12/17, and they mainly use bands 5 and 12/17. Fewer compatible bands just means you'll be more likely to drop to 3G, which is usually still fine. It's just you don't want to drop a ton of cash on a phone that won't get 4G very often. So I tend to recommend phones that are fully compatible.
The CDMA carriers (Sprint and Verizon) are entirely their own beasts and don't work at all with international phones.
Easton Phillips
>not paying for two day shipping
Nolan Ramirez
Moto G5 would be fine, or anything else with a Snapdragon 625. The Moto Z Play has just about the best battery life you can get right now and it uses the 625 too. The G5 has a smaller battery than the Z but it's still good.
The Redmi Note 4 would have been perfect with a 625 and a massive battery but it's not fully compatible with US 4G bands.
Aiden Young

How's Nougat bros?

I had Lineage 14.1 for a while but downgraded to CM13 and it's better. Too many bugs in Nougat for me, and there were very few additional features.

Landon Ramirez
P.S. I'm not claiming nougat is bad; it's just my device's implementation of it is buggy because it never received an official build of it. But I didn't really see any huge features that made it worth putting up with my bluetooth dropping multiple times per day. Basically the notification drawer is slightly better.

Parker Anderson
I'm looking to purchase a new phone when my contract ends in July with Verizon. I currently have a MotoX 2nd gen and I loved it, so I'm looking for a similar phone with similar stock android experience. I will be moving from Verizon to AT&T, what phones should I consider? Not a fan of Samsung, budget is less than 800 (want to buy the phone unlocked).
Thx

Talk me out of buying a used Gear VR. I will most likely use it 100% for watching videos/anime/porn.
Michael Diaz
GMOs are much higher in heavy metals, herbicides, and insectisides. Both applied afterwards, and generated by the crop itself. They are objectively bad for you, and it's about as up for discussion as if eating mercury is "fine" for you. Modern day GMOs are trash. You are defending a pathetic waste of potential rigged for massive profits at the expense of all else. Grow up.
Vaccines, because they're given so close together and along with the adjuvants (which are neurotoxic), provoke sucha potent immune response, probably do contribute to neurological problems. Autism is well known to occur alongside chronic inflammation of the microglia, which would without a doubt affect synaptogenesis, dendritic spine formation and arborization. cell differentiation, and the overall chemistry of the brain. This is basic neuroscience, the immune system is intimately linked with brain function.
Microwaves, especially when they're pulsed, activate voltage gated calcium channels. Chronically elevated intracellular calcium that isn't properly trafficked out of the cell leads to increased NO synthesis, which reacts with superoxide and increases the rate of peroxynitrite formation, greatly. And speaking of autism, look up "Timothy Syndrome", a polymorphism of the genes that generate VGCCs which causes them to be overactive, which universally causes autism, immune, and cardiac problems.
Stop parroting and read a book. There is plenty of literature on this dating back as far as the 60's. You're only 40 years behind the curve.

Anthony Clark

Jack Rogers
I don't believe you because this post reads like someone googled for proof of 3 separate wacko theories and didn't look at any evidence to the contrary. I will not engage in the same behaviour to rebuke
Lucas Richardson
As above.
>Microwaves, especially when they're pulsed, activate voltage gated calcium channels. Chronically elevated intracellular calcium that isn't properly trafficked out of the cell leads to increased NO synthesis, which reacts with superoxide and increases the rate of peroxynitrite formation, greatly. And speaking of autism, look up "Timothy Syndrome", a polymorphism of the genes that generate VGCCs which causes them to be overactive, which universally causes autism, immune, and cardiac problems. Many species have a much worse time with this than humans, such as amphibians, reptiles, certain insects like bees and butterflies, and many species of birds. We know very well what aberrant activation of voltage gated calcium channels generally causes. How does it activate them? It interacts with their voltage sensing subunit, which is composed of charge groups that all need to be moved the same direction at close to the same time. If you know anything about physics and electricity, you know why their location in the plasma membrane (phospholipid bilayer) would make this very probable. Experiments show instantaneous influx of Ca2+ when exposed to microwave fields.
There is no evidence to the contrary that didn't use cell types either in very specific phases, or that are know to be non-reactive / low in L-type VGCC expression. This has been established thoroughly. Exposure to microwaves causes a mess of double and single strand breaks, as well as degradation of other cellular machinery.
You've got a few of those right. Some vaccines do cause autism, there is a direct link. GMOs are really bad for you.
As for climate change, we have a roughly 100000 year cycle with 20000 year sub-cycle. The question you should be asking is why global UN taxes would have any impact what so ever on the sun and the earths orbit around it.
>Daily reminder that cell phones, wi-fi, bluetooth, smart meters, etc, cause cancer, brain damage, psychiatric problems, and infertility. One sad little detail is that most of what you complain about, wifi, bluetooth and smart meters are measured in mW and are barely measurable compared to GSM/3G/4G which is measured in watts. A wifi router is typically just a few feet away while the nearest cell phone tower is several kilometers away. Yet you're able to turn wifi and bluetooth off but you'll have a hard time bringing down that big solid metal cell phone tower. There's not really that many good options there, perhaps a lot of RDX or C4 and some thermite could help...
Liam Gray
Gotta go. Give it some thought, the cost of a cell phone might be a lot higher than your outrageous monthly bill that's detestably out of proportion with real world operating and expansion costs.
Joshua Davis
I saw a long ass comment chain on one video where some autist was claiming that [insert phone here] was DOA because it didn't come out with USB-C or whatever.
Xavier Fisher
They're addicts, and brainwashed tribalistic sheep to begin with. The average human is little more than a herd animal. Refer to this:
Pulsed microwave fields affect neurotransmitter release. These people are literally physically addicted and likely suffer withdrawal once the exposure is gone.
Liam Price
whoops, too bad about that mediatek on the 3
Julian Harris
TOO BAD ABOUT THE BRAIN AND DNA DAMAGE.

USB-C is a new requirement for me going forward. I've had too many phones with worn out micro USB ports.
I'm not going to consider a phone complete trash just because of it though.
Levi Young
This anime is really kawaii
Dominic Gray
I'm a memephone master and I've never had trouble with microusb ports. I don't doubt that any of you have but is it the way you're using the phone?
My phone history with microUSB is Samsung i9000, Nokia N9, Lumia 720, LG Fx0, BB Q10 - haven't had trouble with any of them?
Brody Clark
>USB-C is a new requirement for me going forward. I've had too many phones with worn out micro USB ports.
uhmm... I have a worthless NEET brother who invites himself too frequently. He brings his XBox along and connects it to one of my computer monitors. Now none of my 3 computer monitors don't have a working HDMI port (which honestly isn't a bad thing since I use DP and DVI and it prevents that child from playing his XBox). One obvious question is: Would it be the DP ports on those who were broken if the XBox came with only a DP port?
I know, broken USB micro ports are a problem. But are broken USB-C ports ... better? Sure, you probably can't plug a USB-C cable into a USB-C port backwards while drunk and break it, but you could try to force a micro USB into a USB-C port and break it..
Brandon Lee
Moto G first gen, Galaxy S4, and Moto G3. They all still work they're just loose. Now it's making me question whether I had a bad cable that did damage to the ports. I'm careful with my phones, I don't yank them or drop them.
Levi Stewart
Oh okay, if it's just loose I can understand. My Q10 port isn't loose itself, but the way the cable sits in it is. I never have trouble with it failing to charge or transfer data though, and I figure it's directly connected to me accidentally tugging the phone by the cord a few times.
I don't see how USB C would avert this problem though. Surely only the magnetic cables seen in macbooks/surface/xperia z3's would prevent this issue?
Lincoln Lewis
What's the general consensus on phone cases/covers?
I've been using one, really nice looking case but, I never drop my phone so it feels like I've wasted my money
Bentley Long
I guess it's worth it for the peace of mind at least.
Now that got me wondering: are there any cases designed for use with lanyards, retractable tethers, etc?
Jeremiah Foster

No. This is the first thing I've bought that was this expensive in a very long time. I got fed up with the G4 I couldn't take it anymore. Will you pay for it next time?
Brandon Ramirez
>are there any cases designed for use with lanyards, retractable tethers Haha, why would you want that?
Noah Murphy
I thought USB-C was more durable. Maybe it's not, I don't know.
Carter Brooks
>people hamfistedly ramming USB Micro cables into the ports wrong is a common enough problem I hate how retarded the average person is. Reminds me of all those driver assist commercials where the person needs ten different alarms just to stay in their lane and to avoid slamming into a stopped vehicle. F I always pay for extra shipping. I live in the very rural Midwest so it's hard for me to get many things locally.
Robert Hill
I envy you, I want my phone now.
Liam Howard
