Moto e4 worth it? Or is there something better for cheaper than the 99 USD I'd spend on that? Just need something for calls, sms, clover, and basic web browsing.
Owen Morris
It has a mediakek chip so no roms for you but if you dont care about this it will be completely fine for the price.
Colton Green
Walmart had it for $40, it may still have it. We had best buy price match it to use while the wifes V10 that bootlooped is getting replaced.
Benjamin Evans
American version uses snapdragon
Wyatt Wood
>phone almost at the end of warranty >Battery starts to fuck up
Nicholas James
Wow, I actually managed to lose my phone. Tried locating it through the account but apparently the battery died yesterday 3:20am. How likely is it that someone can break into it if it was stolen? I'm wondering if I should lock it or just erase everything if I never find it
Gabriel Wilson
My Samsung Galaxy Alpha drains battery to almost zero overnight when idle. I know battery itself is fine. Any good recommendations on apps that would give me better battery stats? Or general troubleshooting help, googling the issue wasn't very helpful.
Jose Price
I type quicker on a phone with buttons than that touchscreen-qwerty crap.
Jack Mitchell
Fuck. I just picked up a OnePlus 5t and found out LineageOS hasn't been released yet. Anyone have any suggestions for a good alternative, or should I stick to stock? I've always stuck with CM/Lineage for years now.
Juan Sullivan
Can a note 8 owner tell me what they're battery performance is like? I am a new owner and I just switched from a pixel 2 XL because I wasn't happy with everything it had to offer.
The pixel 2 XL got 1% battery loss over a 10-15 minute youtube video, while the note 8 is seeing a 1-2% loss over a 5 minute video, I played with the camera app for about 5 minutes and lost 3% battery. Is this phone defective or is this normal for the note??
Juan Rogers
hey guys, I was planning on buying a Samsung Note 8 on monday but I heard that S9 was gonna get announced on February Should I wait for the price drop or should I just go for it?
Bentley Powell
>what is T9
Brayden Hill
I just bought a note 8 because, and I spoke with a rogers rep who is a friend about this, the S9 is going to be pretty expensive at launch even with contract discounts, it makes more sense to buy the note 8 now with a good discount, and then sell it when you wanna get something else and just pay the difference. Then again I was about to get my note 8 for $150 because I used to work customer service and I know how to talk to the phone reps and get to a manager and sweet talk them the right way, but eh.
In the end it comes down to what you want more too. I love the s-pen.
Owen Taylor
Just wait, Oneplus phones are really popular for custom ROM development so it'll get LineageOS soon enough
Joseph Taylor
The battery is eh, I charge it every 2 days, Twitter Discord and Youtube throughout the day, total 10 hours screen time maybe?
Want the pen for art and shit? Note 8, if not, literally any other phone.
Nathan Moore
so if I'm getting 5-6 hours screen time then I probably have a defective unit?
Jose Gomez
It seemed to be a bit shit when I first got it but after a week or so it settled down and worked good.
Brody Nelson
I also disabled a lot of shit on it. Bixby is disabled, I turned off the Spen screen off write, I turned off the always-on screen, etc. Also the internal speaker can sound really decent when you push up the bass on the system equalizer.
Isaiah Torres
Do you use QHD or FHD+ screen setting?
Nolan Nguyen
Full res, 2960x1440.
Eli King
Is aliexpress the best place to buy chink?
Caleb Smith
I just lost 4% over less than 5 minutes in multi-task mode.
Brandon Martin
Is there finally a 5" phone with small bezels?
Grayson Diaz
Essential phone is 5.7, i know not quite what you're looking for but bezels are very small.
Not at all what I'm looking for. I guess I'll keep waiting. I can't believe chinks came to the conclusion that I want a 2:1 memeresolution 5.5"+ phone. All I wanted was a 5" phone roughly the size of an iPhone 5. Why is that too much to ask?
John Myers
This. I was a motherfucking beast with T9. Touchscreen qwerty killed my typing speed.
Daniel Ward
Femanon here
The market wants large screened phones because we all use them as our primary media-consumption device.
There's no real money to be made by targeting manlets with tiny hands who want a dinky phone they can fit in their purse
Gabriel Jones
...
Connor Hughes
God Damn I hate that pic.
Jordan Young
user from your first thread here. You testing isnt very scientific. Battery meters arent completely precise. Don't worry so much about the percentage meter.
4 hours is normal for this phone in hard use. Actually it's not bad compared to other phones either.
youtube.com/watch?v=OfAknufAUjg In this test the note8 lasts 4.5h and the pixel2XL 5h. That is with "equalized" brightness (by eye), and with most things except wifi turned off. WIth more stuff on, including the camera, the batter will drain faster.
Austin Phillips
>He didn't use prediction It actually worked quite well after using it for a while, allowing the system to get accustomed to your vocabulary.
Evan Myers
Tits or GTFO you blue-haired slut
James James
Use a dark/black theme and wallpapers, lower brightness and disable AOD and apps you don't use. But 5-6h SoT sounds about normal for a Note 8
Michael Brooks
hey pals iam trying to connect transdrone with deluge and works on the local network but when i disconnect from wifi and use data give me error, i open the ports and put the external ip
whats wrongs?? i think is a problem of the device, a xiaomi redmi4
Cooper Wright
How much better is the Pixel 2 than the G5+ if I mostly care about screen and audio quality rather than photos and gaming?
Daniel Sanchez
Hi guys
Jeremiah Barnes
Official Lineage 15 when? 2019?
Aaron Anderson
Eventually. Soon. Unofficial is pretty stable, though.
Owen Brooks
Is there any phone thats better than the S7 EDGE and has the following shit:
gsmarena has a phone finder that lets you search by features like that
Andrew Walker
Blackberry Motion
Jeremiah Peterson
HTC U11
Jayden Perry
Do you guys use Twitter? Official app or something else?
Nathaniel Reyes
Call volume is a big problem on the g5+, so way better there.
Jordan Adams
should i replace my nexus 5X with the iphone SE? i'm in love with that little guy
Dominic Sullivan
What don't you like about the Nexus 5?
Blake Robinson
I heard that the U11 is pretty shit
Worse than s7
Andrew Murphy
Is it $400 worse, though?
Logan Hill
Web.
Jayden Williams
>U11 is pretty shit It's better than S7E
Aiden Ortiz
battery is dying and i'm curious to try iOS. i could get an SE new for under 300 euros
Adrian Morgan
It's bad enough that a lot of people are returning them.
Aiden Anderson
Too expensive compared to the S7
Adrian Reed
You can buy a really nice BT speaker for that.
Easton Myers
The low call volume was fixed ages ago
Nicholas Ramirez
Replace the battery. Probably like €50 at a repair shop.
iOS isn't that much nicer than Android. And it basically requires iTunes.
Caleb Walker
Would be nice. Sadly it's a hardware issue that can't be fixed with a software update.
Colton Myers
Australian here, what are some suggestions for flagship models without gimmicky tapered edge bezels or any bullshit like that? I'm also after removable storage, aux port obviously, removable battery is nice but not necessary. Also, location and carrier should probably be irrelevant as I'll likely be shipping from the states
Tyler Turner
Wrong
Wyatt Walker
Is the 4X still budget king?
Isaac Rivera
Check out Sony flagships and Nokia 8
Daniel Evans
Shitty call volume isn't generally a thing that can be fixed. There are everliving shittons of reviews about the bad call volume, and they continue to get posted. If you would like to link something confirming that they have somehow fixed it, go right ahead.
Carter Wright
i already use itunes since i have an ipod for music, i'm ok with that
Jace Peterson
Best 2018 flagship?
Is the S8 still king?
Chase Morgan
It was a firmware issue and got fixed with an update. If you check, all the posts complaining about the issue were made several months ago
Levi Clark
Pixel 2 / 2 XL and iPhone X
Noah Richardson
Just broke the screen of my Nexus 5 yesterday after all I had to do was buy a new battery off Amazon. Now, I have to buy a new phone. Is there a phone recommended that has the functionality similar to a Nexus 5. The most important attribute for me is connectivity to a laptop so that I can torrent shit on my phone and then watch/listen it on my laptop, which for some strange fucking reason, my Nexus 5 started not doing.
Dominic Jackson
>several months ago First thing I click, Newegg mentions it in mid december. Again, why don't you link literally anything confirming that. This is an anonymous board annon. People make up bullshit all the time.
Cameron Reyes
Will the g6 ever get proper ROM support?
Cameron Sullivan
>Check out Sony flagships and Nokia 8
Any idea where one could buy Nokia 8 TA-1004 (it's the dual sim, international version)?
Zachary Wood
What's best cheap phone with a decent screen and battery life? I'm in the UK and don't give a shit what network I'm on, but I'm currently on Vodafone.
Nathan Reed
There's vague insinuations on Reddit that it was fixed in the October update but this thread from this month suggests it's not quite fixed yet.
Also, a phone where the company does not pimp you out to the government and give all your information without even asking why.
Chase Hernandez
Anyone else order a Gemini?
Owen Walker
I don't get it, I used to be able to message fucking fast without looking at my phone at all using T9. Now I type like a fucking snail hoping my smartphone's word prediction will pick the right word, spamming backspace all the time, trying to touch the screen to move the cursor to capitalize a letter. I have the full keyboard I should be faster.
Jason Harris
greenify
Robert Lewis
Get the screen repaired. Should cost like $100.
Kevin Russell
Why does Lightning Browser close my tabs instead of going back to my search results for my selected we browser? I really want to turn this off, or could you guys recommend a botnet free browser that is close to its snappiness.
Robert Cooper
download.lineageos.org/h870 The European model also has a few nightlies available but it doesn't seem very usable.
Logan Hernandez
Are there any alternatives for a xz premium?, i dont mind wasting more for a better phone.
Juan Wilson
Apple is about your only option. They seem to be the least cooperative. At least until the Librem 5 comes out in a year.
David Mitchell
Twidere from f-droid. It also works with Mastodon and supports multiple accounts on each.
Adrian Cox
Cool.
Levi Jenkins
The thing is that when I connect my phone to any laptop it does not give me the option to transfer files. I have tried everything off the internet, even restore the phone to factory setting but nothing seems to fix that shit which is also the main motivator for a new phone. The cracked screen is a catalyst.
Josiah Thompson
Use gsmarena's phone finder to search for phones with the specs important to you. Then read reviews.
Joseph Carter
Yeah, I really think it's a hardware issue. The fact that it's lasted this long just makes a stronger case for that. I've had that problem before. There's only so much you can turn up the volume before you just end up blowing out peoples voices.
It's a shame too, because otherwise it's pretty good hardware. But there's no way I'm dealing with that again, or busting out my blutooths every time I want to have a conversation. If you're one of those people who just texts it's probably a better deal.
Austin White
How do you filter by verizon only?
Nathan Taylor
Your phone is not a USB drive. You have to enable USB stuff (I forget what off hand or I'd tell you) in developer options (which you enable by clicking the OS version or something a bunch of time in the about section of settings) to do that. I set up a SMB server on my desktop and use ASTRO to move files over WiFi to avoid that. You could also send files via Bluetooth.
Nathaniel Stewart
True. The thing is that before this past summer I never had to do anything to it. The option would always pop up every time I connected the USB cable.
Also, I do not know about Bluetooth. I torrent a bunch of shit and the jews probably know how to get around that shit.
Jordan Peterson
CDMA phones that use channels 2, 4, and 13 for LTE will work on Verizon in the US.
I really need a new iphone, what should I buy, Sup Forums, 8 or X? Don't want an overly large phone, so the 8 plus is out. I'm moving towards the 8 since from what I've heard FaceID is kinda wonky and I'm not sure about how good OLED panels are in long term, even as good as the one in X, and the extra €350 I'd save would be kind of nice. On the other hand, paying 800€ for a 720p display in 2018 seems ridiculous.
