Just ordered the essential phone used. Do you think there are any downsides to this like it being more likely to be slow? The seller said it was in very good condition. I'll do a factory reset if it's not already been done. My main concern is that it could be slow after their use. I could cancel my order and get a new one for 30$ more.
David Mitchell
doubt it will be slower but I'd personally cancel it and get the new one since it's only a difference of 30
Sebastian Gray
Your main concern should be battery. If they were a heavy user your battery will be shit
Connor Parker
For 30 dollars more of course

Damn, I posted in the old thread. Less than two years apart, and the things I liked the most about Xiaomi have changed. What phone is today's equivalent to the Redmi 3S?
>can't use I use the edge screen all the time, and it's still fully visible if I look at it from the right angle.
Brayden Rivera
>but i've heard the screen tint is pretty bad Not sure where you heard that from, I test drove one for a few days and it's AMOLED screen is amazing, on the other hand the G6's SuperIPS screen suffers burn in which is rediculous for an IPS panel

Ive fucked around with my dads s8 and my roommates s9 and it bothered me. I have no idea how you use the corners as well it cuts off some images or sites your on

Anyone pick up the lg stylo 4? How does it manage with only 2gb of ram?
Ethan Torres
if you're referring to the MetroPCS model from what I've heard it's pretty damn good, too bad LG won't release unlock codes for it
Julian Sullivan
i bought the p20 pro and i really like it. but its too big and too heavy to use with one hand. i thought about buying one of these things, what do you think ?
On ES file explorer it says 15gb is being used by "other" when I use space analyser, as I went through my internal space directory I couldn't find anything that added up to that size or even close to it Any ideas?
Jackson Ortiz
For the OP6, is the 4GB model sufficient for non-gamers, or should I fork out for 6GB?
Ayden Martinez
>needing more than 2gb ram on a phone
Benjamin Murphy
Worst case scenario, they sell off and become yet another chinese brand. That's not bad at all for an extremely high end device for like what $300?
Jackson Gray
2gb sucks
Jordan Taylor
I mean if it was just $30 more, cancel and buy new you fucking idiot. The reason people buy used is to save $150+, not just 30 buckaroos.
I ALMOST traded in my iPhone 7 to get the Note 9. But then I realized that even with the $ for the iPhone it's still $600 and I could buy a decent laptop for that. Fuck phones being priced over $350. I'm gonna use my brain and not fall for the marketing tricks. They nearly got me though.
Lmao this phone is thicc as fuck but the size is just too fucking perfect Because it comes with a pre-installed screen protector that is a fingerprint magnet but only an autistic cunt like you could care.
better get used to it friend, it's not going away anytime soon

essential phone was the first notch, and it's by far the most minimal.

I want to buy Oppo phones in USA. Some of them support bands 2 and 4, which is good enough for me. What do?
Michael Gomez
>Source are you a fucking retard? every new phone coming out has some version or variation of the notch, the Vivo and Oppo phones that don't, along with the Huawei's and Moto's are outliers
Gavin Barnes
Did you count in Android itself? It could also be (and most likely is) app cache/backups. Messaging apps like Whatsapp like to store shit locally from past profile pictures to videos you've sent and received, so it can quickly add up.
Alexander Butler
want to get a new phone, what should i get? the below are in Canadian dollars
Pixel 2 XL for $410 ($1400 on Google's website). will probably be maximum of a hundred dollars cheaper when Pixel 3 is released (not a significant amount for me) S9+ for $810 OP6 (8GB RAM), $770
i've read a few bad things about the pixel 2 xl build quality (blue screen), and recent software slowdowns
Current phone is an S5, and i like the build quality of it. Curved screen on the s9+ seems completely unnecessary though
Parker Scott
>16gb internal storage, only 8gb available >32gb, only 20gb available >64gb, only 30gb available >128gb, only 32gb available Why is this allowed?
Kayden Sanders
the pixel 2 XL will require a hard credit check for me too. another reason why i'm not entirely for it
my credit's good, but i just got a hard credit check a week or two ago
Eli Gutierrez
Should I give in and buy a phone without a headphone jack?
do you use your headphones a lot? I've been using wireless ones for a couple of years now so the jack is not something I need but if your favourite headphones are wired just get something like an LG phone with a good dac
Matthew Reyes
Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but is there a way to rip the recovery or boot.img from android without root or the update.zip?
Jaxon Green
You mean flash a new one on the phone, or rip the existing one from your phone to the PC?
Parker Perez
You seriously can't buy it outright
Daniel Hill
Anyone know any phones that DON'T have 2.5D glass? I need a phone that can actually use a screen protector. Thanks in advance
Should I even care about LTE bands if my chinese phone has HSPA compatibility in my country?
Isaiah Watson
i mean isn't 3.5G enough speed on its own?
Austin Sanders
I'm an S8+ owner, but I've recently come to dislike Samsung. It's easy enough to disable their notifications trying to advertise the S9 and note 9 to me, but the fact that Samsung thinks it's okay leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
I've thought about going to stock android, but I feel that I'd have a hard time getting used to it as Samsung experience/touchwiz is generally more full-featured.
What should I expect if I choose to go to iPhone? I'm already somewhat invested in the Apple ecosystem with a MacBook Pro, but I'm still a bit hesitant about switching to an OS that's much more walled garden than android. I'm going to wait until the 2018 iPhones come out to make a final decision, of course.

Hunter Phillips
>but I feel that I'd have a hard time getting used to it as Samsung experience/touchwiz is generally more full-featured. I went from the Samsung UI to MIUI recently when I switched phones, and besides the app drawer I can't think of a single thing I miss from the former. You'll get used to it.
Jordan Moore
Oneplus 6 yes or no?
Nathaniel Miller
Holy shit, Pie is smooth as fuck on a Moto G3
Dylan Miller
Seconding MIUI. It's far from perfect, but it is the only heavy interface modification I could see myself using, tons of neat features. Put Nova launcher on MIUI and you can have app drawer in any style you want, among other features. No adverse effect on performance as well.
Jose Carter
You're already invested in a walled garden on MBP, why would having an iphone be an issue for you? If anything you'll just have better continuity.
Ryder Davis
I've mostly adapted to categorizing apps into different home screens, but I'll keep this in mind, thanks!

Leo Martin
>I've thought about going to stock android You can only think about it, since the S8 has very little to no custom ROM support. Only thing you get are debloated TouchWiz builds.
Owen Ward
>a bit hesitant about switching to an OS that's much more walled garden than android Android walled garden? You didn't research this enough, it's only your fault. It's even worse if you have a device with a locked bootloader.

How much is it? I'm pretty sure you could get a phone with 3gb RAM at a similar price.

Imagine being thi s girl. Taking a selfie thinking gosh I look so swell batman. But she does not look swell, not at all, she is a living meme the poster child of mediocrity. She should not be taking selfies at all she should be meeting a man settling down and having children so she can be happy despite her meager looks. But she's not, she dyed her hair blue, took shitty selfies and continues to deny her purpose in life. To be a pure child bearing mother. Also anyone else mad at Sony for not giving the xperia xz2compact a headphone jack. Its fucking bullshit sony can suck dick.
Lads i can get the note9 for 60% of the price, should i do it i'm still on note 4 and the new non removable battery makes me seethe
Angel Hernandez
Buy 100 of then and sell them at 90%

Want an actual upgrade from my old Samsung Galaxy S5
>Carrier Boost Mobile - Uses sprint towers Shit, but everywhere I go has wifi and coverage isn't actually that bad. Plus the $30 a month for unlimited talk/text and 5gb of data is enough for me.
>County United States - Tennessee to be exact

>Size Don't care
>Wanted features Just be better than the S5...

My current phone can barely hold a charge for a few hours. Never makes it through the work day If the screen's brightness is low? The screen flickers like crazy and I see a lot of green/yellow tones. So long as it's better and compatible with the boost network? I'll consider it.
Microwave radiation is real and dose pose some carcinogenic risk.
"A second large study has found tumors in the Schwann cells —schwannomas— in the hearts of male rats exposed to cell phone radiation.
The new finding comes from the Ramazzini Institute in Bologna, Italy.
The NTP found schwannomas in many other organs, in addition to the heart, of rats chronically exposed to cell phone radiation. These included a variety of glands (pituitary, salivary and thymus), the trigeminal nerve and the eye. The NTP notes that the combined incidence of schwannoma in all organs was “generally higher” in the GSM-exposed male rats, but it was not “significantly different” from the unexposed controls. Still, the rate doubled at 3 W/Kg, the mid-exposure level, and was even higher at 6 W/Kg (Table A-2)."

I'm asking this here because the custom ROM general isn't up, I'm trying to flash stock ROM to a Galaxy On5 to unbrick it but the Odin has failed over 50 times, I've tried two different ROM downloads, different Odin versions, everything. The only thing I haven't tried yet is redownloading the first stock ROM as the one I currently have may be corrupted.
I really don't know, help a newfag out.

Guess I can't edit my post to say nothing by Apple huh?
