w-where could i get a case like this to my gf (me)?
Landon Nelson
N-no...n-n-no.
Nathaniel Perry
What's the general consensus here on the LG G6? Does it lag or bootloop?
I was waiting for the OnePlus 5 but $500 seems like a good deal for the G6
Chase Nguyen
I've upgraded my ZUK Z2 to Android 7.0 (Global ROM) but it is kinda laggy now (and the notifications are shit). What is the best ROM I could use on it (the only experience I have with installing ROMs was when I installed Global when I got the ZUK, three or four months ago). I've heard of AICP, but I don't know if it is actually good, neither I know if it is difficult to install.
Adam Robinson
>months ago)? Fixed.
Luke Morgan
Just wanted to say that 5SE with red leather case is pretty comfy
Josiah Myers
>no band 12
everytime
Cooper White
>yes
Hunter Phillips
REMINDER THAT THE P2 HAS CHRONIC AUDIO SYNCING PROBLEMS WITH VARIOUS STREAMING SERVICES, INCLUDING YOUTUBE.
Lenovo haven't listened to complaints and the issue seems to still be around for some people even after the Nougat update. Just posting because I see it recommended on here all the fucking time.
Is there proof though? People have said "bootloops" towards the G6 since day 1
Bentley Taylor
No, it's too early
Luis Bailey
S8: +better screen +faster processor -Samsung software bloat -useless Bixby button -probable slowdown after X months
G6 +Slightly better software experience (than samsung, still worse than many many other OEMs) +Cheaper iirc -potential bootloops like all LG phones -last year's processor
If I had to choose between the two and price wasn't an issue, I'd probably go with the S8. But you will find much better options if you wait for newer flagships to be released throughout the year, or even consider last year's phones. Pixel has the best software on Android, same specs as the G6 (with potentially better camera) but with the downside of huge bezels. iPhone has large bezels too, but the software is great if you're not planning on ricing. Plus you get software updates for half a decade instead of 1.5 years left with the Pixel (which at 2 years from release is the longest official support you find on Android)
Angel Hill
>not the OP3T or OP5
James Wright
I don't know if I would go for OnePlus considering that the OP2 still doesn't have Nougat. Might be ok if you bought the newest one on release, but after a year they will have moved on to the OP6 and you'll probably be stuck on last year's Android version.
Of course if you use custom ROMs this isn't an issue.
Samuel Morgan
that's because OnePlus got jewed by cyanogenmod
now that they have their own OS, there's a much better chance to receive manufacturer updates
regardless it's not a big deal on this phone since it's a DEVELOPER phone thus it has about 1000 stable ROMs
Benjamin Sanders
I see this mentioned a lot, but what is actually the problem with being on an older iteration of Android for one more phone-cycle than everyone else? Genuinely curious.
I'm looking to buy a OP3T, the next time I'll buy a phone after that will probably be 2 to 3 years time, is it an issue if that last of those years is spent on the older Android?
Logan Hall
bought an iphone 6 16gb for $75 with a broken scren did i do good?
Robert Adams
Idk if my carrier has them
Jeremiah Garcia
LOL NO
Jordan Baker
I can resell it for like $300 when the screen is fixed.
Michael Peterson
>16gb >On 2017
Good luck mate.
Carson Cook
poo
Jonathan Garcia
tmobile is selling the g6 for $500 right now
if my carrier(verizon, i know kill me) were to do that i'd be saving over $300. does that make the g6 a better purchase?
right now i'm probably just going to get last years flagship in a month or so anyway(s7e prob)
Michael Carter
I'm not sure who'd be willing to pay $300 for a phone with only 16 gigabytes of storage. That is practically a toy
Elijah Stewart
normies
Cooper Myers
So there's this android2.2 game that I would love to play but it keeps crashing while loading. Any way to fix this or is it a lost cause? I'm on nougat
Aaron Brooks
You're just missing out on new features. Nougat introduced Doze while moving (saving battery life), splitscreen, and double tapping the recents button to swap to the previous app, for few examples.
You'll still be able to run most apps since they are designed to be compatible with older Android versions since Android is so fragmented. Probably more important than new versions with new features is making sure your phone has up to date security patches so you're not vulnerable to exploits. If the OP2 is anything to go by, by year two you'll stop receiving new Android versions and soon after you'll stop getting security patches. If you learn how to flash a custom ROM you will extend the longevity of your OP3T by getting the latest versions and security patches, at the cost of being dependent on some guy (possibly Indian) compiling the software you use on a daily basis.
If you can get a good deal it might be worth it. However I have seen LG's software in action and I really don't like the look and feel. Not to mention the threat of it bootlooping a year from now, especially at a time when you need it most. I would avoid LG for at least a couple generations until they prove that they have fixed the bootlooping issue. We really won't know if they have solved it with the G6 until its been out for a year or two.
word that's reasonable. do you think the s8 is worth it over the s7e? right now i have an iphone 5s so anything would be a big upgrade, but i dont want to be a consumer shill and shove out $800 when i don't really need to.
Robert Kelly
I think I gotta problem
Been through 6 phones in 7 months after buying and selling on swappa
Xavier Ramirez
I'm not familiar with this whole Bootloop fiasco of LG's.
Does the V20 also have a high percentage of Bootloop problems? I've been looking into buying on, should I stay away and stick to something like the OP3T instead?
Brayden Turner
Thanks for the warning, guess I'll go with the redmeme note 4 global (can I run Lineage on it?)
Ethan Rogers
Ay I'm still rocking the 5s too. Do you get the issue where your screen turns dark for few moments and doesn't recognize touch while dark?
Nolan Hall
it's unlocked
Caleb Wood
how much money have you lost/made?
Eli Jones
>america >sprint Does it really matter what smart phone I go for if all I do is >stream music to my car >watch youtube before bed >use it for directions via google maps >occasionally google random shit >text and occasionally call people I just stormed out of a Sprint store because none of the displays had ANY information about the phones other than their names and prices but driving home I realized I don't really want or need much out of my phone. Is it okay to just pick whatever fits my budget and has a nice weight/feel and screen?
Brayden Ramirez
Sorry for asking, but what does "flashing" something means?
Colton Green
yeah sometimes
it's been happening more frequently lately. my phone works fine if i charge it during the day, i just want an upgrade before it dies
Ayden Morris
>the issue seems to still be around for some people even after the Nougat update Source? All I'm seeing is people saying it got fixed in the Nougat update
Elijah Parker
...
Aaron Gray
If you don't play games on your phone then yeah just pick something with an OS and screen that you like, specs don't matter for your use case
Xavier Walker
So all of the phones that have come out in the last 4 years have been fairly underwhelming. I would say the most revolutionary feature introduced were fingerprint scanners, waterproofing, and usb-c. Beyond that there isn't much that separates a 2017 flagship from a 2013 flagship.
So what is the next revolutionary feature going to be that will actually want to make me upgrade my phone?
Joshua Perry
Please don't frogpost
Zachary Edwards
What kind of SOT could I expect from the Moto G5 Plus?
Aiden Cox
Like 40 bucks
Oliver Jenkins
Oh nice. How's its battery and overall specs?
Zachary Thomas
it's the best midrange phone by a mile, its specs outperform the pixel phones
there are a seemingly unlimited number of reviews on it online
>Doesn't even name the processor or manufacturer. >No GPU info.
I'd like to know what the fuck I'm buying, dudes.
Gabriel Kelly
Please don't
Liam Myers
Please don't shitpost. Retard.
Colton Sanchez
I have no concrete source, but neither do I have an axe to grind with lenovo. I've seen a lot of comments saying that while the issue has been fixed to some degree they are still noticing slight syncing issues with audio. Look at what these Pajeets are saying in the Top comment thread in this video, for example:
>youtube.com/watch?v=RvJFj9YpFnc
The top comment says that he notices that "there is still a minute difference" (minute as in small, not 60s), whilst someone replying later in that same thread of comments mentions that he tries one in store and notices a lag on some videos.
I cannot stand even the smallest fraction of a second of video and audio out of sync, so for me that shit is unforgivable.
Ethan Rodriguez
Is wileyfox a meme

Dylan Bennett
Gross pic to start with what are you not gay?
Andrew Allen
When is it released? I didn't see any date on it
Cooper Nguyen
1 month battery life
Oliver Long
yeah, a dangerous meme:
WARNING to all Wileyfox owners: your location data and WiFi information is being sold
desu, the op3t is a beast and will be for some time
Levi White
And if you read that tripe you would have realized that only the Eastern Europeans and Russians have that Yandex Zen installed, and not the western European and UK customers
Adrian Brown
What has best battery life
Logan Allen
Are there any known issues on the S8?
Aaron Jenkins
touchwizz
Lucas Hill
What """compact""" smartphones exist for ~$200. 5.0 in. screen max but preferably 4.7 in. or under. Looks like if I want a true compact that isn't bottom of the barrel shit, I might just have to sell my soul for an extra $60 to the Apple Jew and get the faggot iPhone SE.
Are Xiaomi as good as Samsung? If so what is the Xiaomi equivalent to the Galaxy J7?
Luke Wright
Its a gigantic software problem that Samsung refuses to acknowledge, and has ignored for some time now. Its actually baffling
Gabriel Rogers
Samsung's version of Android is pure cancer It's fat It's bloated and unoptimized It causes phones to slow down after literally 3 months
Easton Campbell
I see the a3 2017 on the high end of $200 everywhere. I meant $230 tops by ~$200. Too bad the Moto G plus is 5.2 in. because it's exactly that and from what I read is better than the a3.
Benjamin Smith
But it hasn't been 3 months on the S8 yet, so maybe it's fixed
Henry Martin
People have literally said the same exact thing since the S4 came out
Jackson Fisher
Lel ok
Jacob Thompson
Google Samsung Tizen Itll give you a good grasp on how well Samsung can and has done software development. After you read up on it, itll be no surprise that they cant even make an android frontend right (even though every other manufacturer has figured it out)
wth do you guys mean when you say "ROMs" for when my old android phone is being slow as shit?
Colton Nguyen
read only memory
Justin Gonzalez
You flash a rom that's better than what you have, basically upgrading your internal storage from 32GB to 64
Kevin Carter
LG G6 reporting. How are you guys liking yours?
Jacob Collins
ROM availability? You can always find shit for Samsung. Is it the same for Xiaomi?
Dominic Bailey
HTC 10
Carson Price
Btw if you are considering this phone it begs to have a case around it...even in the commercials the device looks finicky but it is quite comfy in the likely event you protect it somehow.
Ayden Powell
so will the keyone be worth it? thinking of getting it after a few months when the price goes down to a reasonable level.
Asher Cooper
Seems like it might be a decent compromise. I'll definitely give it some consideration.
Julian Morris
LG G5 user. I'm due for an upgrade an am considering the G6 cause I've heard its a huge improvement from the G5 which I've had some issues with and made me reluctant to go back to LG and do to s8. Is the LG G6 better and worth going to?
Kevin Hughes
is laggy
Noah Gray
What chinkphones have a comparable camera to the Galaxy S6? Im looking to sidegrade to a chinkphone, but im afraid of my picture quality going down
Jacob Barnes
I've been using an S7 for a full year and there hasn't been any sign of slowing down, battery draining faster or anything like that.
I'm pretty sick of samsung in general and touchwiz is still ugly as fuck but what you're saying is completely untrue in my experience.
Then again, when I got it I immediately installed a package disabler and killed all the bloat and useless bullshit. Maybe that has made a difference.
Dylan Lee
Anyone here with redmeme note 4 global/4x? what microsd card type is optimal for this? will get 32 or 64gb for photos, vids music and camera, not planning to root yet to move apps. Can it even take advantage of UHS cards?
Matthew Anderson
>having to use enterprise level app management with KNOX to make the phone usable.
This is the exact problem with touchwiz. At least they let you download GoodLock to fix some of the issues, but it eats battery itself and doesnt work with N right now.
Samuel Garcia
If you disable the samsung keyboard with package disabler pro, then try to use Ultra Power Savings mode you will softbrick your phone and have to do factory reset. Package Disabler is pretty powerful
