Is there a way to set bluetooth headset as the default way to answer a phone with android?

new nokia phones WHEN

I want a decent midranger 660 snapdragon phone

I could get a 4g/32gb new for $229 at Best Buy or open box for $201.99. How does price matching work?

Reposting for response

E S S E N T I A L FUCKING WHEN?

I'm going to get a new phone after my Xperia Z constantly out, what phone should I get, only thing i really want is a fingerprint sensor, moderately big screen and decent specs so I could use my phone for at least 3 years or so. What phone should I get, my budget is about 500 EUR

youtube.com/watch?v=W-YQr2HhORc

What a fucking mess of a review

Bought an iPhone SE today.

it's a meme give it up

The 32gb storage version only has 2gb RAM

Not sure how the price matching works, but I know several people have successfully price matched with the Amazon prime price at Best Buy, YMMV

OP5, although it's quite shit.

me too :3

You're a fucking meme

Pixel XL if you're okay with refurbished

You like to take it up to the ass?

no, but i like smol phones

Is there anything like a G5+ that's under $200? Could I price match with the Prime deal of $180?

Does anyone know if this is possible?

>"smol"
>Iphone buyer
[Normalfag Detected]

nvm, the Prime deal is at $230

Go to Phone settings>Call accessories>Check mark on Automatic answering.

or

Actually
Open your bluetooth settings, find your device, and click the settings icon for that device. You should see some options for the device. Uncheck the "Phone audio" option.

Is the Nokia 6 overhyped?

>61172383
no

Maybe I should have been a bit more clear.
What if I have two separate devices and I want to use both?

It is built like a tank but it has a weak soc and who knows if Nokia will actually deliver on updates or for how long.

Is the V20 for $380 worth it?

Then your'e SOL. you can pair multiple devices, but you can only use one at a time.

Shut the fuck up before I fuck your ass dry

No the prime deal is $185, you just have to be logged in and already paying for Prime to get it at that price, otherwise you get a Amazon gift card for $230 - $185 = $45

>Confirmed: OnePlus 5's Display is Upside-Down - Likely Causes Jelly Scrolling

Yes, definitely

Nexus 5 finally kicked the bucket last night. What should I get for

What do yo want

I bought a Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime 4 months back and it has slowed down on performance since then. I came to the conclusion that it will the bloatware which is in it.

If I backed up my data(including memes) and then give it a factory reset, will it be back to the normal speed like when new?

Pls answer.

Another Nexus 5
Also what do you mean kicked the bucket? I see many people posting similar phrases, but I never understand what it really means. The only ways my phones died throughout my life were me smashing them into pieces because I'm a careless shit or the battery dying.

Yes, for a while.

Not gonna lie, pretty glad i returned my OP5 the moment it arrived, never getting caught up in techno hype ever again.

I've got the S8+, love some of the little usability features it has over LG. Any suggestions on shit to do with it?

maybe root it to stock android? Or are you on a contract

Is there a way I could get it priced matched at Best Buy to that?

Considering the moto g5. Was looking at the OP5 but saw that link in the OP.

As close to stock Android as possible.

The Nexus 5 power button has a design flaw that, after a few years of use, causes it to be stuck down. When this happens, the phone thinks you are perpetually holding the power button and will be unable to boot (it turns off mid-boot). This can be temporarily fixed in a few ways:

>hitting your phone against the wall like a retard to knock the button free
>rolling your phone along a flat surface like a hacksaw to pop the button free
>flicking the button with your finger until it pops free
>tearing the phone apart, removing the motherboard and using contact cleaner to lubricate the button

I'm tired of having to do this shit every few days just to use my phone, so I'm getting a new one. After this last bout, it won't turn on at all no matter what I try.

What are some godtier cases? Otterbox?

>As close to stock Android as possible.
Moto G5+.
Blade V8 Pro.

Oh okay. Thanks for that. :)

Rookie question.
Wouldn't rooting result in warranty void?

No, it's not on contract.

My gf was about to get the OP5 and I made her get the Xperia XZ. She's much happier with a much better built phone.

What phone is this? Looks like an S6, but with a big Alcatel logo.

It's possible

>inb4 flagship Acatel

this thing looks so buttfuck ugly. I wish motorola would design something nice for once. Or give it full capacitive buttons in the front instead of this shitty mish mash.

Alcatel Idol 4s Windows

Sorry, I don't live in the US so I don't know how the price match stuff works exactly, I just know it's something people have been successful in doing

Ouch, thanks man.

I suggest you look online before doing it, I'm no pro at rooting

...

Alright. Thanks for the heads up.

is the Huawei Honor 6x any better than a Moto G5+?

>phone released in 2016
Who still uses windows? :O

HTC 10.

The iPhone 8 will be the best smartphone option of 2017.

If price isn't a factor

>will be
don't assume faggot

...

Giving your hands their own identity is creepy as fuck.

Try getting help dude.

There's a Nexus 5X for $110 that I'm really tempted to grab despite that it's plauged with the bootloop woe. The seller hardly even used it, mostly had it laying around collecting dust. He has the receipt and box. Should I go for it, /spg/? I'm a very tight $100 budget so this is my best bet besides a LG G4 for $80-ish or so. TALK ME OUT OF IT /spg/ and the 5X is still under warranty

Shame LG or Google don't give a shit about warranty when it comes to bootloop unless the device was purchased on the Google Store :)

Actually, apparently LG will replace even under the warranty for bootloop woes

>mfw the G4 has a 13 mp camera and the G5+ has a 12 mp camera

shit wrong pepe

"Apparently" hehe, sure, go for it.
I'm still here with a trashed G4 because LG doesn't want to recognize the boot loop issue is here, instead of wasting my time with that shitty sue I just got a new phone, LG doesn't give a shit, they already have your money.

Do whatever you want with your money dude, just don't get mad when people tell you that "we told you".

Can't beat the S8.

Samsung is too far ahead design wise this year + they finally fix Touchwizz which was utter shit since forever.

The only thing they fucked up is the fingerprint sensor.

Is S7 edge a worthy cheaper alternative to S8?

Nice optimization you got there buddy.
Must be nice being the most optimized 835 out there ... oh yeah... what? Xiaomi is faster.

Oh well, at least you have the exyno.... oh right... not for Americans.

Buy it only if your prepared to lose your $110

You realise the amount of megapixels doesn't tell anything about image quality? A 23MP camera can be much shittier than a 12MP camera.

*you're

It's my autocorrect that's illiterate, not me

are carbon fiber cases a meme? how do they feel like? are there any real benefits of it? not sure if i should order one

fastcardtech.com/XIAOMI-Mi4C-32GB.html
same soc, same price.

Carbon fiber increases your phones performance by 10%.

Sounds like weeb stickers on a car giving you 5hp per sticker

What is/will be the best phone of this year?

Will it work with Metro Piece of Shit's 4G LTE though?

Where I can buy redmeme 64gb global black colour model? All I see is just the shitty golden ones.

willmyphonework.net/
doesn't look like it

Why would a phone need a blood oxygen sensor?

[spoiler]that was the joke[/spoiler]

It's coming back in stock at the beginning of this month (geekbuying starts shipping on the 4th, Honorbuy on the 6th). It was temporarily out of stock as Xiaomi had to redesign the CE sticker or something.

Get this, works perfectly on MetroPCS

...AWKWARD

Z2 is a broken piece of shit. Shit QC and customer service by lenovo. You're better off buying a Xiaomi

Is the Xperia ZX worth buying? Need a new phone ASAP.

Depends on how much your paying for it

Which phone has a better price/preformance ratio: the Redmi 4x or the Moto g5+?

$445?

Redmi Note 4 Global

Which is a better buy?

Benefits: if you like the look of carbon fiber; it looks like carbon fiber

I have the carbon fiber type cover on my 3T because I got it for free. It looks alright I guess, but it actually consists of kevlar

yea, but does it provide better grip? from a picture it looks slippery as fuck

Note 4 Global has mostly the same/better specs as the Moto G5+, for half the price.
