Recommend me a (chink) smartphone with dual SIM + separate microSD and ability to change microSD cards without removing SIM cards/battery. So all the phones with drawers that have universal SIM/mSD don't qualify, or even if they just share the drawer. A non-drawer design for microSD would be preferred.

Outside of the galaxy notes how many active digitizer phones are out there?
when Librem 5 is released, this will be a Librem 5 general. it is the only hope for mobile devices.

>lmao this general is completely fucking pointless Why? Should everyone just spam their questions instead of all other threads that exist?

Fuck me I just accidentally installed Android 9.0 on my Note 9, how do either downgrade it back to 9.0 or make it not look like a toddler OS with fuckhuge symbols instead of clear and precise symbols with description underneath?
Aiden Martinez
down to 8.0* obviously
Charles Robinson
So, I just got a Verizon Pixel 2 XL. Didn't do my research, am I fucked in terms of being able to root? "OEM Unlock" is grayed out, and an hour of Google later I still can't find a way to fix it.
Bought a nokia 7 plus today. Expected to be disappointed with my purchase, I'm surprisingly not feeling that much/any buyer's remorse. Maybe my expectations were too low.
Jacob Lewis
Yes.
Oliver Morris
Why do you want to root your phone.
There's no need to root your phone any more, unless you have the kind of brainworms that make 'compiling your entire OS from scratch' an enjoyable Sunday afternoon
Luke Jones
I have to admit lads, this folding meme looks really good.
Matthew Allen
To enable Adblock stuff and run some modded games.
Leo Thompson
Then use Blockada, or DNS66, or NetGuard, or any of the other adblock solutions that don't need you to break your phone open. Modded games I've no idea but lmao at installing random apks from the internet onto the computer you have in your pocket
Nicholas Martinez
Can't unlock the bootloader on the Verizon Pixels so no root
Austin Morris
I agree. There's a problem (sometimes you need a bigger screen, and sometimes a smaller one) and they found a solution for it. It's gimmicky, yeah, but it's a good gimmick.
Tyler Kelly
>unless you have the kind of brainworms that make 'compiling your entire OS from scratch' an enjoyable Sunday afternoon Flashing ROMs and developing/compiling them isn't the same thing numbnuts.
William Rivera
the folding phones are all over $1,000 right now and probably won't be affordable for a while.

y'know the kind of person that reads wikipedia and then starts disabling services in their unpatched pirate Windows 7 installation, then crying to Jow Forums because they get cryptolockered and why is windows so buggy??
So my beloved Oneplus 5 fell into the only hole in a lake, and now I must buy a new phone ASAP. I've been wanting to downgrade to a Oneplus X again, is it possible get one of these used for less than msrp? Where?

No one installed it yet? Fuck, I'll have to live with it then. How could Samsung install this toddler OS on my phone that I use for work.
Who cares about ebin 1000 zoom? The picture quality, man. When you crop it it looks no better than peak smartphone performance. It's all about lighting and details. God I can't wait to buy my S9+ when prices drop next month.
Thomas Watson
a real digital camera will have great optical zoom, and better low light and action images let alone all of the options and superior battery life. it is impossible to put that into a smartphone. the sensors are too large and something like a 40x optical zoom would be cumbersome in a tiny phone. thx came someone posted here is undebatably better in every way by a significant margin.
Hudson Parker
Complaining about dumb shit on a Samsung phone it's like complaining about closed system on a fucking iPhone. It's expected that Samshit will fuck something or all up eventually because it's a shit company with shit products (except for their screens which are nice). Fuck off for buying that overpriced piece of shit phone
Mason Harris
>who cares about this feature smartphone cameras simply don't and can't have >that makes them superior

for all I know you were the guy who told me to get one
Brody James
Thanks, I think I'll use this if I can't find a new phone I like.
What phones nowadays are as open, simple, and reliable as the oneplus's?
Nubia X looks so good, is it available in Europe yet?

unless you convince verizon to unlock it for you, you are stuck. i have a moto z droid that i bought awhile ago for shits and giggles, and that's also verizon locked. they will not unlock the bootloader no matter how much i try and pry them to.
Thomas Howard
Reminder to always buy unlocked even if you have to put money back to do so
Eli Nelson
So essentially people who are just starting off? What's the point of your post? To discourage people from rooting/unlocking the bootloader on their phones? Why? Furthermore, why should anyone give a shit about your whining?
Elijah Richardson
pretty much this, if you cheap out and by a phone that known to be unlockable without doing some research, then its your own damn fault
John Jackson
*that's known to NOT be unlockable

5G is a major threat. Reposting from a prior thread. It's harmful on multiple fronts, health, privacy, societal structure. Focusing on health.
Millimeter waves are bad for humans, likely lethal for smaller animals. Unfortunately unlike existing technologies, which are no better, data on millimeter waves is comparatively sparse. But there are some clear trends.
The primary mechanism for existing microwave systems is increased free radical generation, changes in gene expression, and altered calcium flux. It's not known if millimeter waves work precisely the same way, but it is known: -The structure of human sweat glands is a helical coil. When filled with sweat (a conductive salt solution) it turns out this is a quite functional antenna array for millimeter waves -Once in the body attenuation is very low according to USSR literature. Millimeter waves propagate almost freely through the extracellular space, preserving in particular their "information" content. Structures in the body are capable of demodulating these signals. -The structure of the plasma membrane changes in response, and maintains this change long after irradiation has ceased. -It changes the structure of the skin, alters the blood, alters bone marrow and lymphatic function, cripples the immune system, prevents the production of vitamin D, and demyelinates nerves as well as rendering their axons fragmented. Yes, it strips off the insulation and chops up the wires. This was known decades ago. You can expect destruction of peripheral nerves and spinal ganglia. -Damage to the eyes
mediafire.com/folder/dj875cd10yb72/EMF In this link, look at [Studies in Soviet science] Pathological effects of Radio waves[...].pdf Read the section on low intensity millimeter waves. The other books in there are also informative.
Information on the physiological and pathophysiological pathways of NO. That covers Ca2+ overload, NO synthases, that NO reacts with superoxide at a rate 5x faster than the latter can be removed by superoxide dismutase (a reaction which itself yields H2O2 and relies on the glutathione system). ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17237348 ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18715148
There are some implications with autism. Along with birthing procedures, wireless devices likely have a causative role.
Pulsed microwave fields, ie the emissions from wireless devices, alter calcium flux in cells. This leads to chronically elevated intracellular Ca2+. There is a genetic polymorphism of the gene encoding parts of the calcium channel, called Timothy Syndrome, which cause it to be overactive, and these individuals will near universally present with autism. So we know that the calcium aspect -alone- can produce autism. Further, calcium is involved in dendritic spine formation, axonal guidance, and myriad other processes particularly active during second trimester neurodevelopment. These devices also cause increased free radical generation, oxidative and nitrosative stress. This will also harm the brain of the developing fetus. Further microwave emissions increase the permeability of the blood brain barrier, so much that albumin staining is seen in experimental animals exposed to cell phones in use right now. This will let more toxic junk into the brain. They also tune the bacteria in the digestive system for virulence and selectively kill off some good bacteria. This will majorly mess with the developing brain and immune system.
----------------- Wifi 6 operates at 60GHz and will make it worse. Being in the absorption spectrum of diatomic oxygen it'll alter the spin of its valence electrons, rendering it unable to bind to hemoglobin. And who knows what else. It seems designed to be harmful. Just like choosing a frequency for wifi near the maximum dielectric loss of water, gosh, I'm sure making water molecules spin on their axis in the body won't do nuttin'!
A brief note on the surveillance aspect. 5G is pretty much the spine required for massive data harvesting operations. New LED streetlights, which besides emitting high intensity blue light which causes necrotic cell death of your retinal ganglion / photoreceptors and suppressing melatonin synthesis, will read blackbody radiation and communicate with each other to build a realtime 3D map of an area. Remember also, airport scanners use millimeter waves. Why? Very good at assessing fine grained geometry of objects, under clothing.
Televisions already have internet connectivity, microphones, and IR cameras. If say, RFID units were added to most products, everything about you could be known. You really think any of this will be used to make the world a better place? Are you really not seeing all the agendas designed to destroy our ability to get along and form responses against state approved power structures?
Ah, then you have ID2020, overtly supported by the typical offenders. id2020.org/ Read this whole site. And gosh, wouldja look at that, lo and behold it's already happening! Probably because we signed on to a commitment to do so. dhs.gov/real-id eg (dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/detail/realid)
You'd have to be a fool to not see where this is headed. We have the ability to make cells express "magnetoproteins", we have cheap and generally effective gene editing technology, we're nearing a point of mutational load sufficient for obvious population infertility. Birth rate has dropped below replacement in many technologically advanced countries, they now rely on immigration. Infertility has become big business, and allows access to the genetic makeup of the embryo. Wen have self assembling materials that can form nano sized conductive filaments. We have little organic piezoelectric machines we can produce. There are many ways of controlling minds, and it's strange that the bulk of the stories I wrote years ago were ac
tually already being worked on if not already well developed. One idea was the use of nanomachines, or little organic piezoelectric compounds injected into the body to control brain activity. They would respond to subliminally pulsed signals in the environment, symbols, colors, temporal patterns, to alter brain activity accordingly. Perhaps to create an emotional response, to suppress one, to activate an embedded program to generate false memories, or to suppress memory formation at all. A "remember to forget", but hardwired. There was also the possibility of RF sensitive proteins expressed by cells, added via retroviruses or before birth. This has come about in the form of "magnetoproteins". There are self assembling materials that can generate nano sized conductive filaments in certain environments.
Cheap and effective gene editing exists and provides relatively stable results as far as oncogene activation. We're also nearing a point where mutational load is sufficient to produce clear population infertility. Sperm quality has been dropping for decades, from many factors. Birth rate is rapidly dropping and in many technologically advanced countries has fallen below replacement, they now rely on immigration. Infertility has become a big business, and is expanding. This allows access to the child's genetic makeup before "conception". We may see the formation of genetically enslaved underclass. Born into inescapable hardwired slavery, or as some scientists in the 50's feared for the future of man, effectively "robotocised". The future is bleak even down the avenue where we're sterilized.
Agenda 21 involves high density housing and little control over your environment. You may well be forced to have this stuff, even if you don't use it. Not sure to the degree you could take shielding measures against it.
you're either a samefag, a smarty-pants user, or you just don't know anything and don't know what schizophrenic people are like.

Luke Taylor
patents.google.com/patent/US6506148 Research the background and other projects the assignee has worked on if you want to assess if these are credible claims. They're well in line with the literature (research the period in the 80's when VDT's were being introduced in clerical environments, and the large spontaneous abortion clusters). Also refer to work by Bawin and Adey, of UCLA's Brain Research Institute.
Nine times out'a ten you're better off staying focused on one particular matter, but I think it's important to provide loose models of the overarching picture, and why we're seeing what we're seeing and where it's leading. Once you "follow the money", you have to ask "what is money". Why "money"? Money is power, or more accurately, money is the basis for affordance within any ecology which involves entities (generally people) who recognize it as a form of value. You can't eat money, and you can't do anything with a form of money if it becomes worthless in a given ecology, so it's definitely being turned to something solidly tangible.
There's a lot to say. A lot of history I've gone over prior and can't reasonable duplicate. This concerns the classical definition of "Microwave Sickness" by Sadchikova and others in the USSR. Refer to the Warsaw symposium held 1972, sponsored by the WHO. It's in the mediafire link. For some background on the whole field, read the paper by cook. I'll try to find a post where I talk about exposure standards. Also in that link is a file called "list.txt". That's pretty much everything I've based my opinion on minus a few dozen I didn't update the list with, of which I've thoroughly read ~65-70%. Skimmed another 20 for certain patterns and criteria. It's somewhere to get some leads.
I also recommend microwave news. microwavenews.com/ Esp their print issue archives.
Lastly, I'm going to copy a few shorter posts I made the other day.
"Face it, you've been sold a bill of goods. These fucks like Tom Wheeler have been lying to you your entire life. Ever since Lai and Singh's study showing DNA breaks in the brains of rats and Motorola's leaked "wargaming" memo. And ever since the 1996 telecommunications act wherein section 704 subsection 4 states that siting of a cell tower cannot be blocked on the basis of concern for the environmental (and health) effects of its emissions, so long as it conforms to FCC guidelines. Explicit wording, 1996. Now why would they do that? Preempt local zoning and establish one chokepoint they had to control, the exposure standard." And obviously if you don't believe me, just refer to that document.
Similar language has been included in the Streamline Small Cell Deployment Act. It's in section 5 or something.
What about insurance companies? I'm sure they get their money somehow, in the macro picture. Insurance companies backed away from telecom in the 90's when it became obvious cell phones weren't safe. There were class action law suits, etc. Modern day incidence of most types of brain tumor are -dropping-, as predicted by Adey's study. However rates of acoustic neuroma and glioblastoma multiforme, thyroid cancers, breast cancers, and melanoma where the cell phone is held in teenagers are rapidly rising.
I recommend referring to Hardell for a deconstruction of the WHO's RF working group. Refer also to Adey, Belyaev, Hocking, and Panagopolous.
In regards to NATO and the west, refer to Adey 2002 in the mediafire link above. Explains how the military's in house research base became consolidated at Brooks airforce base in an effort by the military and industry to shield itself from litigation, and protect its use of radar domestically and abroad.
The first RF safety standard was created by the USSR in 1956, based on their extensive animal and human clinical studies. Exposure for the general population was set at a peak intensity of 10uW/cm2. The rest of Eastern Europe followed either exactly or a similar derivitive (Poland, Czechoslovakia, etc). It has remained unchanged since then. Although some reports say the limit for mobile phones is now 100uW/cm2, and the RNCNIRP has called it the greatest threat to Russian youth, and has petitioned the WHO repeatedly. China and much of Asia use the Soviet standard modern day. Remember that when reading so called reviews that conveniently omit the countries with the oldest safety standards. This caused great conflict during the cold war, there was a complex dynamic and a lot was written about it during and after. The US set a limit of 10mW/cm2 averaged over 6 minutes, no explicit peak intensity limit. It has now been lowered to 1mw/cm2. Now only 100x greater the Russia and China. Though barely enforced.
Many things to be said.
Refer also to for more on LED streetlights and the effect of high intensity blue light.
We're looking at rapid ecological collapse and population sterility in as little as 5 years. This is serious, and we must change course.

samefag but if you aren't, this nutjob spams in any thread related to electromagnetism. he is shown that his citations are pseudoscience, given the fact, and he ignores it completely every single time, for years now, unironically at least back to 2015. he wants attention and confirmation of his completely goofy beliefs and wastes peoples time.
Not samefag, but I find it funny I've only ever seen these replies since 5G was announced here, and never before.

Probably because you're a fucking newfag, this shit has been posted for months in its own threads, and this jerkoff got btfo in them as well, there's a dedicated 5G RIGHT NOW that he got BTFO of which is why he spread his cancer to this thread He's an attention whore, plain and simple

Aaron Thomas
Read list.txt and talk a bit about how all 1,253 citations are pseudoscience. Go through Glaser 1972 of the Naval Medical Research Institute in the mediafire link and show how everything on the 2,308 citation bibliography are all junk science. And why the Navy had him doing this.
And the mods -will- delete these. Stand for the truth, take responsibility.

Dude just post the update IARC paper which suggest updating radio frequency radiation from a possible human carcinogen to a human carcinogen. It's reputable and recent within the last few months. We're all pretty much fucked because this shits not going to stop. But it's the kids that are going to get it the worse because of an eventual lifetime of exposure.
Added, thanks. I didn't know this had been published.
I haven't gotten to including all the statements by institutions, American Academy of Pediatrics, California Medical Association, IARC, etc. Violation of UN rights of a child, Nuremberg code, etc.
Progress is real slow these days.

I can get a brand new LG V20 for $230 using an ebay coupon code ($270 normally) and am pretty tempted, but i thought i'd see other peoples suggestions first. I haven't looked at phones much these last 3 years as my RN3P was still doing great so am a bit out of the loop.
