Just ordered it with a free 40 refill card, what should I expect?
Chase Lewis
Asking for a friend.
So he bought a refurbished LG G4 and the phone went on good for about 3 months and now the phone has gone nuts.
When you switch on the phone, it shows the logo and after a minute it just shows the message "Security Error (Authetication Error : #9)" The phone doesn't go on further after the message gets displayed. He even tried switching it off an on a multiple times, taken the battery out and put it back in, etc in short he tried every way he could. At once the screen showed a factory setting menu and then just nothing at all later.
Has anyone with an LG G4 facing or has faced the same issue? What does he have to do now? Thanks.
Matthew Edwards
Are Blackberries still a thing;and if so, are they worth it?
Blake James
I just switched from an iPhone 7 to an LG V30
Holy fuck this phone
Elijah Roberts
Do we know if the Nokia 7 will ever reach the west or do I have to import it just to drop it one month later and then complain about no warranty?
Jacob Fisher
Ready to drop Apple and Sprint. US, will switch to Verizon.
Currently have an iPhone 6S and would like something comparable in size but with a battery that doesn't drop from 84% down to 50% by browsing Sup Forums for 45 minutes.
Storage would be nice too.
Joshua Robinson
I need a phone for $200 and under, >stock android hopefully Oreo >usb-c >good sound and mic quality >good battery Suggestions?
Hunter King
any phone out there with a decent camera, 5+ inch screen, under $300, and shorter than 140mm? Not too many options on gsmarena. Why are new phones gigantic?
Chase Martinez
honestly considering an iphone at this point
Ayden Garcia
Redmi 4x or Mi A1
Jaxson Peterson
I'm confused, I though the Google camera port was only for Snapdragon 821/835 devices
Logan Allen
That’s the boot loop issue LG got sued over Yes, and they’re basically android with a physical keyboard. The ones that run BB10 can only run apps designed for JB and lower. Quick Google says exclusive to China Sounds like you need a battery replacement mate, my 5s gets about 6 hours SOT. Could try one of those Redmis though. iPhone SE maybe? Relatively cheap used and you can always do a battery swap if it’s degraded. Try it and see what happens. It’s mostly YMMV/Device dependent.

X compact, huawei Nova.
Jackson Campbell
Nokia 8 or OP5T? I can get nokia for 100$ less and I don't have much more money than that, but 5t has better screen and non-cucked bootloader, so may be I can stretch my budget a bit
Brayden Thompson
Done with apples shit need a new phone around 400-500$. >around 6+ size >nice camera >some what thin bezels >fingerprint >expandable storage I've been looking for a while and the huawei mate 10 and huawei mate 10 pro seem good but are too expensive.
Noah Edwards
What do you want out of a phone that a cheaper handset would not be able to handle?
Jordan Long
Bezelless meme looks nice, also 5t seems to have better battery life, but all battery tests of nokia 8 I've found contradict each other, so can't say for sure. It also has a locked bootloader that may never get unlocked, and while it's nearly-stock android is probably good enough for me, having an option to get root and tweak some shit is never bad.
I have a $1 phone stylus like one of these, where it's a big rubber nub at the end of the pen, and I'm wondering if you guys know of any other phone stylus pens that have a finer tip for drawing.
Could you recommend a cheap one? I want to draw more and my Galaxy S8 is the highest resolution touchscreen that I own.
Elijah Jenkins
Get the mate 9. Good phone and cheap. Excellent camera. Fastest fingerprint reader. Great battery life. Charges faster than Qualcomm fast charge. No real downsides I've found yet unless you hate emui and aren't patient enough to wait for oreo.
Julian Taylor
Nah, works on SD625/650 too, even some SD430 phones (Nokia 6 at least).
Charles Bennett
I can get a note 8 for $500 with trade in of my s7 edge. Should I do this?
Joshua Bennett
Note 8, S8+, or Pixel 2 XL?
I loved my note 1, 2, and 4 back in the day
Never had a straight google phone before but I heard the build quality is sorta bad
Pros and cons of each?
Easton Taylor
I had no idea this existed
Blake Ramirez
Has anybody ever been able to load a custom ROM on a Huawei chinkphone?

iPhone 8+ or iPhone X? want the big screen iphone but not sure about getting the X over the tried and tested form factor of the 8+
Andrew Fisher
Note8 Pros >Biggest screen >best quality screen >dual cameras >6GB RAM >USB type-C and a Headphone jack >Samsung pay >Spen and it's specific features Cons >touchwiz isn't as smooth as vanilla android >price >curved screen doesn't add anything (though it's not really a bad thing, just unnecessary)
S8+ Same as the Note8 but slightly smaller, no Spen, and 4GB of RAM instead of 6GB.
Pixel 2XL Pros >vanilla android is smoothest and fastest android experience >excellent HDR+ pictures >not too stupidly expensive (but still kinda pricey) Cons >screen quality leaves something to be desired >overall build quality is lacking compared to samsung >no headphone jack >missing many features found in touchwiz (benefit of this is a smoother overall OS)
Adrian Richardson
The differences between the Note 8 and S8+ are pretty small so I'll get those out of the way and then just compare the Note 8 to the Pixel 2 and iPhone X:
Note 8 +6 GB ram instead of 4 GB +Dual Lens camera +Pen
-Price
With that out of the way...
>OS/Experience
Pixel probably ahead of the Note 8 here and then it's just a question of iOS versus Android. Note 8 has more bloat due to Samsung and Carrier bloat compared to the Pixel.
>Camera
Pixel 2 > iPhone X >>>>> Note 8 The iPhone X and the Pixel 2 are pretty close with the Pixel 2 being slightly ahead. The Note 8 is a decent bit behind
>Display
iPhone X > Note 8 >>>> Pixel 2
iPhone X slightly ahead of the Note 8 here, with a similar screen but better calibrated. The Pixel 2 lags behind though
>Processing power
iPhone X >>>>>>> Note 8 = Pixel 2
A11 > Snapdragon 835, enough said
Elijah Gonzalez
Note 8
Brayden Stewart
>The iPhone X and the Pixel 2 are pretty close with the Pixel 2 being slightly ahead. The Note 8 is a decent bit behind Honestly just depends what you're doing with your camera.
You can hardly say the note8 is a decent bit behind, its better with a few things and slightly worse at most things. That doesn't make it a decent bit behind the others, and if you're looking for the best quality low light pictures, or best quality OIS stabilized 1080p and 4k 30 video, the Note8 wins.
If you're looking at best overall, yeah the PIxel 2 and iPhone X are better than the Note8, but if I were to give them a scale of 100. Pixel 2 is 100, iPhone X is 98 and Note8 is 95.
You're STILL getting one of the best cameras you can get in a phone, even if it's not as good as the others.
Easton Brown
Any +4000 mAh phones with snapdragon 6xx coming up?
Nolan Torres
Pixel XL or OP5T?
Luke Flores
Pixel 2 XL or just the Pixel XL?
If the OG pixel, then the OP5T.
Gavin Ramirez
Yeah OG pixel. Thanks.
Noah Foster
Still rocking an OG galaxy S. How huge is the difference going to be going from this to a note 8? The galaxy s is having a real hard time doing anything these days but it still works for calls and texts no problem. Should I even upgrade?
Mason Lee
Massive difference, even going from a Note5 to the Note8 was a nice upgrade, it wasn't necessary, but still noticeably smoother and that phone was only 2 years old. The Galaxy S is now 7 years old. It will be several orders of magnitude faster.
Bentley Jones
I bought a Sony z3 for 126 bucks and im pretty happy with it so far. It gets hot and thats my only real complaint. Everyone who sees it thinks its nice but no one even knows sony makes phones. Other thing is im terrified of breaking it because though it feels nice, the screens are prone to issues and Apparently the glass cracks super easy. Hard to find a case too, been carrying it around in bubble wrap. Which makes me feel absolutely ridiculous. But yeah. Thats my blog post/story none of you will care about.
Xavier Walker
Just popping in to say that my LG V20 is everything I wanted and more. Literally the best sub $400 phone one could ask for.
Eli Cooper
except it's huge
Jayden Taylor
my android phone works fine most of the time, but sometimes it just doesn't stop rebooting itself. gets really warm while doing so, too. safemode remedies this, and it just randomly goes away after some time in normal mode?
how do I best go about debugging this?
Josiah Myers
>Implying that's a bad thing What's the matter user? Can't handle a little girth? With enough practice and patience I'm sure you can handle it
John Ortiz
why are you so defensive?
You said it's the best sub $400 phone I could ask for, and i said why it's not
Tyler Sanchez
I'm getting a Note 8 delivered to me tomorrow, what's the Sup Forums approved way of backing up stuff from Android? Just dump it onto a PC or is there some service that's nice? Old phone is a Pixel
EDIT: I really only care about what's already in my Google account which will auto-sync anyway so nevermind
Carter Cooper
I'm genuinely upset you've bought the phone I've had for months.
I might have to buy something else now
Cooper Phillips

Nice, you should get an iphone since your clearly a fagget.
Adam Sanders
Jordan is and always has been a bigger faggot than myself, clearly the Note8 is now the faggot device.

Faggot
Dominic Brooks
Holy fuck what? is it good
Christian Green
>now
Carson Watson
>I only pretended to be defensive
Jacob Robinson
You should move away from it if you are really concerned about using the fag phone. I chose it because of all the faggots in Sup Forums using it (so it must be good I figure)
Landon Ramirez
Just like old thinkpads and ATH-M50's right?
Austin Gray
>muh synthetic benchmarks govern actual performance toddle away faggot
Isaac Hughes
M50s are a shit meme but ThinkPads will never not be great
Parker Morgan
Sup Forums my mi4 lte died after 15 months of abuse. I am looking for a chinkphone replacement with capabilities similar to it with a budget of 150~160
any hot sales on chinkphones?
Justin Morris
looking for a phone with the following: >lte 800 b20 >removable battery bonus points for the following: >released after 2017-01-01 >soc litography better than 28 nm
that's just 4 (four) simple requirements and it looks like no fucking phone at all meets these
Jose Phillips
redmi note 4
Matthew Ross
Use gsmarena dispshit
Kevin Jones

Jace Scott
I am looking at it but I don't understand, it appears this is slower than the mi 4lte?
Dylan Morgan
Well if you took that removable battery requirement away you start finding phones
It's fairly easy to change battery for redmi note 4 for example.
Eli Ramirez
Slower in what way? You play some phone games?
Nathaniel Rogers
>model: KEK
Justin Bell
Does Sup Forums hate the Razer Phone? No one ever talks about it in these threads.
The only legitimate complaint I see touted around is the admittedly horrendous out-of-the-box camera experience. But to be fair, once you side load the Google camera apk, the pictures and videos it takes are easily on par with last years' flagships. The hardware is decent, Razer's camera software is just absolute shit.
Once you get over that hurdle look at what you get:
>SD835 >8GB of RAM >120hz screen >4000mAh battery >stock android >best speakers on any phone >24bit headphone DAC >$700
Why doesn't anyone want this phone? Is it really just because of it's ugly 'gamer' aesthetic?
Tyler Evans
i fell for the non-removable battery meme once and i won't be making the same mistake again
so basically my choices are >ulefone power 2 (meme) >cubot note plus (meme) >moto g5 (this one may actually be worth looking at)
Chase King
same with my Moto Z play. Got it on sale for 250 euros. I legit dont know where to go up from here without adding meme shit to it.
Christopher Scott
Because the note 8 exists and does pretty much everything the razor phone does but better. It'll be interesting to see what happens next year when they work the kinks out.
Angel Gonzalez
Despite the battery, has poor SoT, but good phone still. Better out there for the price
Daniel Miller
>$700
This is why. I only spend 200$ on a phone. Because I don't do jackshit with 8gb of ram or 120hz screen or sd835
Jose Lopez
Just get phone with +4000 mAh battery so you don't have to change it on phone's life cycle.
Anthony Perry
stock lg android music player/video player/gallery/file explorer are starting to piss me off
what are some good replacement apps for the stock ones that good UI functionality
Cooper Wood
no, but my mi4lte was released over 2 years ago, and this redmi note 4, which costs the same is slower. That sounds unusual in technology.
Evan Long
I have this older iPhone 5c that I've kept around and it's still on iOS 8.1.2, jail broken with pangu. I've heard the news of the new 10.3.3 jailbreak, and 10.3.3 is still being signed for 32 bit devices. I have a lot of apps that I can't download because they need iOS 9 or 10 but I'm Shy about upgrading because I've heard it newer iOS versions fuck with the battery and I've also heard its generally best to not upgrade so I'm at a crossroads here. Not my main device. Wwyd?
Cameron Hill
What's the best tablet for $200-250? In the 9-10 inch range.
Colton Campbell
Not strictly smartphone I know but I just got a free Fire 8 HD and I'm wondering what I can do with it in terms of getting more use out of it?
Carson Gonzalez
Samsung Galaxy tab 9.6 was on sale a while back for $179 I got one for my mom and its alright
Jayden Price
When my phone is inactive it still consumes a lot of battery, what can I do? is there any app that regulates this kind of behaviour or helps to manage it. My phone is a LG G6 and im on Android 7.0
Evan Sanders
Mine has recently done this as well it used to last for like a week, big battery Moto z play droid and since nougat update my battery lasts only like a day at most
Brody Edwards
Slower in what aspect? SD 625 is much more energy efficient.
Caleb Parker
Short answer: no. It's a step forward in most use cases.
In the real world, 625 may have better multi-tasking performance (8 cores vs 4 cores on the 801). 801 has better single core performance, but not by much.
625 is also much newer and has a different configuration, uses a better gpu (adreno 510 vs adreno 330) so has native 4k playback, among other refinements you'd expect from a SoC that's 2 years newer.
Bentley Collins
Can I get a rundown on the approximate cost it takes to manufacture phones? (For entering the market)
Nathaniel Cook
Thinking about finally upgrading from this to a note 8. Sell me on the smartphone meme. Is it really that amazing?
well guess that is an improvement, at least they didn't explode and burn down your car like their predecessor
Joshua Gonzalez
its not a very good phone overall
Austin Bennett
can't decide on pixel 2 non-XL vs the XL
can anyone chime in? i'm upgrading from an LG V20 and I think it feels uncomfortable to hold at times, but the XL pixel display seems really nice and the extra battery life seems worth it
Luke Gray
XL
Nathan Clark
why
Ethan Parker
Currently have an P9+ and I'm sick of emui and no updates and want to give it to my mom and go back to Samsung is the new A8 2018 worth it? It seems hot.
