First time owning a smartphone.
>use adb to uninstall program Does that mean it's forever gone now? Even when I factory reset it?
>recovery I want to install one of those recovery programs, like CWM. I can't find any downloads though. Does it have to be specific for my phone or is there a generic one? Is there something better? Because now my phone doesn't have one of those menus when you hold down a specific key combination before turning it on.
>stock firmware Someone told me that firmwares are usually huge, with everything. I could only find one for my phone (Xperia Ion) and it's around 600MB. Is that the "complete" deal? If I fuck something up, can I just install that one and go back to start?

>use adb to uninstall program afaik if you uninstall a system app it will be gone even after a factory reset. Reinstalling the stock ROM will bring it back though.
>recovery It needs to be specific for your phone model. For newer phones TWRP is the best one to use, but for older phones only CWM might be available.
>stock firmware 600mb sounds about the right size. Usually (unless you fuck up very badly) going back to stock firmware fixes everything.
I'm planning on upgrading my galaxy s4 soon. I was thinking about the moto g5 plus. Is that a good upgrade? I use my phone for web browsing, Clover, youtube, and music (Spotify, SoundCloud, and local). Having a reliable GPS is also important to me and good battery life would be a plus.
Or maybe a oneplus 3? I Dont do much in my phone so I fee like that'll be wasteful
Camden Carter
Thanks. There appears to be only one topic about recovery and they have both CWM and TWRP. Is there a downside to having both recoveries installed? Is it overkill?
Kayden Young
What's a good small (sub 4.5 inch) phone these days? Bonus if its cheap. Was looking at iPhone SE but its expensive.
Benjamin Robinson
G5+ a is great choice.
Bigger hands.
Owen Nelson
can i literally just kill myself there isn't an app or an automation to disable the power button on my yotaphone that the screen goes dead as soon as you turn it off and you have to reboot. even if i wanted to use the power button to work the back screen it would fucking turn the color screen off anyway
Joshua Reyes
Huawei 6P for $350 or Moto G5 Plus for $330?
Evan Lewis
G5 Plus. 6P has a ton of hardware problems. bootloops, random restarts, horrible battery life etc.
Jose Moore
Moto G5 Plus, the 6P has terrible battery life and overheats thanks to the SD810, and it also has bootloop issues
Jose Green
Don't think it makes much difference either way
Brandon Flores
yup moto has better battery and they are actually known for being antenna producers and comparing this to a startup that china brought out only just recently is laughable
Colton Gomez
Have to say lads, the battery life on these 625 phones is insane
Matthew Barnes
Why would you even want the s8 in the first place?
Wait for OP5, it will be announced in just 2 days.
Alexander Adams
Because its a great phone? Unlike the Chinese garbage that gets shilled here

Hi /spg/ is there a micro usb charger dock you'd recommend, sort of like pic related? I don't know why but searching for these things is a motherfucker.

can the people at the phone store see your files if you bring them your old phone for a replacement?
Henry Fisher
Pretty good for a flagship, especially after the patches made to Nougat
John Collins
Unless you lock the folder they're in with a PIN or fingerprint, yes if they know how to go through your phone which they do
Julian Clark
ofc they can, so factory reset it before you give it away
Evan Hall
so if I bring in a phone that's stuck in a boot loop to get a replacement they can see all my stuff? what if I had a password on my phone? can they still bypass it?
Jordan Jackson

Isaac Flores
>iPhone SE VS >Sony Xperia X Compact
Christopher Torres
Who is the "startup"? Huawei? They're a massive telecom company with deep ties to the Chinese state. Hardly a startup. And frankly, Moto is just a sub brand of Lenovo at this point, so either way you're getting chinkshit, even if the G5 is superior chinkshit.
Don't forget the weird aspect ratio or the laughably undersized battery.
Yes. Do a factory wipe if you are going to give away your phone.
Brody Johnson
boot into recovery if possible
adb start-server adb shell sudo rm -rf /sdcard/
Samuel Ortiz
More than likely if it's stuck in a bootloop they won't bother with looking for files
Isaac Howard
I don't think that guy knows that Huawei is the world's third largest smartphone manufacturer
Jackson Turner
ask /csg/
Henry Clark
Agreed. Battery life on the RN4X is godlike. 1 day 15 hours since last charge and I've still got 21% left.
Josiah Miller
>swefag Look up consumer laws, Mohammed. You must have rights similar to me
At least in Denmark, companies must honor pricing errors unless it is deemed that the customer must have known it was en error. And 170 usd off an s8+ is very much a plausible shock sale
And no. They cant disclaimer themselves out of the fucking law. Although everyone tries because most people dont know their rights
Josiah Hall
What's the chance I'll ever fix these small spots on my screen and what's the best method? I've read UV lamps and dead pixel apps
Nolan Scott
What phone is that? Do the spots look different with other background colors?
Oliver Hernandez
Call customer supp... oh wait.... maybe if you go to the official reta... ohhh yeah.

The spots are more like smudges, I suspect adhesive. It's a Xperia z3

Matthew Allen
So my Samsung A5 I picked up in Barcelona 2 yrs ago and I've been using with a cracked and retractable screen has finally given out.
Gonna get a Samsung S8/S8+ but one thing I liked about the A5 was the size. Will the S8 feel much bigger? I like to keep these things in my back pocket. I assume the camera much also be better, but the A5 camera was pretty godly
Landon Collins
iPhone SE is better overall but if you prefer android the Xperia is a fine phone too
Eli Watson
I have the same on my Xperia z2...
Eli Wright
It wasn't even a Xiaomi
Owen Nguyen
Xz lineage os when?
Leo Edwards
And yes the smudges are light tint so they change with different colors.
Nicholas Evans
what do you guys think of the keyone? I'm in canada & usually buy my phones outright
Jose Peterson
Just go to a store and try it
Adrian Harris
Feeling sentimental today. Should I get the display fixed on my Nexus 4?
Nolan Johnson
They did this to all people that bought the deal.
They will most likely get some big shit for it but us consumers won't get the deal again.
Samuel Kelly
I've seen people say the S8 didn't feel bigger than say the S7. And yes the camera is a lot more improved.
Why are you samshills so desperate to get people to buy your shitty phones at exorbitant prices, then have the audacity to call people poor because they know better than to fall for your schemes?
James Howard
It might be great the first 6-12 months but after that time Touchjizz will bog down the system.
Samsung has one of the worst android skins. OnePlus has one of the best.
Levi Bennett
>samshill He could buy many other reputable brands as well, that excludes chinkphones and the deluded autists who genuinely believe they're special and paying for anything but trash Could buy Nokia, as long as he's not stupid enough and poverty desperate enough to buy xiaomi, huawei zuk or other trash >i-i-im getting a deal for quality components guise pls believe me I smart
Jackson Phillips
Better than paying 699+ on a fucking name brand and trusting a corporation not to fuck you over
nice retort, shame you have nothing convincing to argue to the contrary
Anthony Watson
I bought three s7 edge in Walmart a month ago for 200 a pop and many others for them for 300. My gf got hers when it was new for 380 which is unironically what you imbeciles pay for shit quality chinkphones There are decent options for the poor without resorting to chinkphones The fact you imbeciles look at hardware specs on those trash phones and actually think you're getting the same quality shows how stupid you are I'd rather have a mid spec device from a trusted brand but you're too stupid to even buy a decent prior gen phone with quality components Also posting lg lmfao
Logan Walker
>Brand new S7 Edge >$380 Wanna know how I know you're full of shit? Also, why do you have to sperg the fuck out over other people's decision regarding phone manufacturer? Only people who's job it is to push a brand go on a Laotion Rice Faing Forum and cuss out anons over what brand their phone is
Ryder Robinson
Any reasonable upgrade from LG G5 SE? It doesnt have to be by much. I just want a bigger battery, can trade screen resolution if needed.
How is the G6 doing?
Henry Cruz

U cant install both, the recovery is going to replace the stock recovery so u can boot only one recovery from the recovery partition.

help a phone nub Sup Forums
I'm upgrading on vodafone UK - here are my options:
Galaxy A3 Huawei P9 Xperia XA1 Xperia X Compact LG G5 SE (not sure the difference between this and non-SE?) Huawei P10 Light
All of them are 'free' on the contract - so relative costs are no issue
I'm not a real phone power user- mainly for email, gps, web, IRC, camera but not too fussed. I have a passionate dislike for random shitty bloatware etc.
Battery life is important- must be able to last a full day!
I currently have an Xperia Z3 which I really like - the screen is really good (I think?), battery is nice and big and lasts for a while, the general interface + lack of too much bloat is nice as well. However, I would not want a phone that is any bigger than this.
I like the fact that the LG has a removable battery that I can change. I like the smaller size of the X compact but feel like I would miss the extra screen real-estate. I hear that the camera on the XA1 is really good. I've never owned a Huawei, but am not averse to doing so.
Any thoughts Sup Forumsents? What would you get?
Evan Miller
Google, retard I'm not going to spoon feed you I don't care if you buy garbage chinkphones, you're not my family so why would I ever help you? I actually like that you do it, gives me a reason to laugh at the idiots If there was some massive clearance right now I wouldn't help you, I only care about getting mine Idiots thinking you're savants getting some deal that only you special snowflakes can see Enjoy your garbage chinkphone lmao

William Roberts
Is the S8 still worth it?
My phone (Moto G 3) died unexpectently with no possible fix. I have no backup phone or a smartphone I can loan so I need a new phone ASAP.
I`ve been eying the S8 since it came out. I love how it looks, been holding it several times in the store and l can live with the UI.
How are the long term impressions? Worth 689€?

>ZTE AXON 7 I like this a lot, seems pretty powerful. Any more info on this one?

What are you guys' thoughts on the Pixel?
Due a phone upgrade next month and on my current phone (Galaxy S6), the fast charging has stopped working, which is fucking annoying.
Other options I'm considering would be Galaxy S8 or iPhone 7. Leaning towards Pixel at the moment because of my familiarity with Android and I want a phone that actually gets system updates when they come out
Andrew Ortiz
Honestly, Just get the one of the Nexus phones. They're still good.
David Cooper
A3 (I assume it's the 2017 version): a well built, compact-size phone with a nice AMOLED display, great battery life and waterproofing. Performance and camera are average, and there's only 2GB and 16GB internal storage (there is a MicroSD slot to help with the low storage space). Touchwiz isn't for everyone, there's plenty of useful extra features but also more bloat than your average android skin.
Huawei P9: Huawei's last year's flagship and a great phone all around. Dual rear cameras take great still pictures but average video. EMUI is actually pretty nice for a android skin, lots of extra features without feeling too bloated.
Sony XA1: it indeed has a great camera. Battery life is better than you'd expect with only 2300mah, enough for one day's use but don't expect more than that. Performance is only average. Screen resolution is only 720p (below average for a 5" phone) with large top and bottom bezels. Sony's software is very close to stock with a few added features.
X Compact: A good mid range phone which doesn't really stand out in any way other than it's size. If compact size is your priority you can't go wrong with this phone.
LG G5 SE: There isn't really anything special with this phone. The modular concept didn't catch on so LG abandoned it with the G6. I'd say pass.
Huawei P10 Lite: a good midrange phone on its on rights, but a downgrade to the P9 in most regards. It is newer than the P9 though which might mean it might get supported with android updates for longer.

Zuk genuinely outperforms Western brands in performance and benchmark tests, for 1/4 of the price.
Bentley Richardson
I wouldn't recommend the Nexus phones, the 5X and 6P are nearing their EOL and they both have hardware issues (bootloops mainly)
Tyler Peterson
I didn't know that. Leave it to Google to pull that shit.
