try digging in the same trash bin you found your phone in

I got it for free along GS3, and Moto5

Look here : forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development-dérivatives

But since it's an old device i don't think there still official support from lineage anymore.

Fuck yes. It's a fantastic phone. I wish I could get it. Fuck ROMs, stock is grand. Enjoy it

In case you're in a zone where merchant ship to.

Best Foss file manager?

Ordered from AliExpress, hope my appeal goes through quickly.

Also Honey got me a 5 dollar cupon, guess it works after all.

I know that, I'm looking for the latest stable release.
Also what's a nightly build?

>Ordered from AliExpress
why would you do that, is it not sold in your country?

Was like 50 bucks cheaper on Aliexpress because Xiaomi has a sale going on right now.

It also has "faster" shipping, it says 1-20 days instead of the classic 30-40.

I see the Note 7 4/64 for 179€
It's 199€ new in the stores here?

Are there any benefits to using lineageOS on a Google pixel or is root good enough?

Pretty cool stuff. Doesn't feature the full package as something like Aurora store though.

Should I get the Redmi Note 7 or wait for the Xiaomi Mi A3?

Yeah, got magisk and pico gapps, more interested in retaining the data at this moment.

can you shut the fuck up. you fucking moron. the s8 active is a steaming pile of fucking shit to the point where looking at it wrong causes the screen to shatter. there wasnt even a fucking s9 active and there sure as hell wont be an s10 active because the s8 active was so fucking bad. you like shilling? let me shill some fucking rope. its on sale at walmart. why not give it a try around your fucking neck? you bumbling fucking idiot.

sounds like someone needs to try out the Galaxy S8 Active

I'd say just filter me, but it looks like I have a copycat now, didn't even have to post it today, although he seems to have changed it a little bit.

What the fuck.
It's fucking weird how VPN doesn't work on one of my google accounts even on different phones and tablets.
Any other account works without any problem, except this one.

why would anyone change the Galaxy S8 Active

Hey you're spreading the word for me now, and for free at that. I honestly couldn't ask for more

cute girl

Any idea how to force a google drive backup for a particular app? Some apps backup daily but there's one that hasn't been backed up in six months, what's up with that?

Hey uh... Im due for an upgrade now. What should i get the Pixel 3 or Galaxy S10+?

I have the pixel 1 right now but it kinda sucks. I tried to upgrade it from 7 to 8 and it bricked the phone and they had to replace it. Now (still on 7 because fuck that happening again) every time i plug it in the touchscreen fucks up and just does whatever it wants. Has google made improvements to their hardware or am I just going to get the same bullshit with the 3? I literally had no problems with my previous samsung so they seem like the obvious choice but im still not sure

>every time i plug it in the touchscreen fucks up and just does whatever it wants
Sounds like a connection/ground problem, did you take it apart before?

>take it apart
Have you seen the pixel 1? its as locked as an iphone (i mean physically like taking it apart would destroy the thing)

Hrm, I like XZ1 because it's relatively small, but it's ~220€ for a 3(?) year old phone

like, the red note 7 is 180-200€, and it seems to have a comparable quality camera (?)
but it's so big...

god, sometimes I hate the endless possible choices available

I've replaced some screens, and a common issue I had on iPhones (which are by the way much easier than any phone that disassembles from the back side) and my common problem was screwing up touchscreen ground, it would work only while I'm holding the case, and also freak out when low quality charger was used.

I'm thinking the only viable solution is going Stallman-mode. no phone is debotnettable (at least from google and ad servers) without considerable effort, android's driver model is still retarded and thus it's hard to keep a custom ROM up to date and mostly bug free... which is a shame, because a midrange smartphone today has pretty good computing power, could definitely run full blown linux distros on them, if they weren't locked down POS.

just use root, it's basically barebones android already

free form windows switched in developer options

Is that like dex mode or something?

That'll be your daughter one day.

how could you not consider the Galaxy S8 Active

If you want smol, get smol. It has front firing speakers which is extremely based. The camera is servicable.

What do you mean bro? They're literally the only good chinkphones out there that don't have notches.

I'm on AT&T in America. I kind of have large hands, and want a bigger phone. Should I go for the Note9, the S10+ or other?

Note 9, they screwed up the entire S10 line

S10e Y/N? I want a "small" phone

ye

As somebody who has had both note 8 and is now using a note 9, I'd say save the money and go with a note 8 not unless good speakers are important to you.
The note 9 isn't really a big enough upgrade outside of that.

Both are great phones though. Especially if you're an drawfag, you can use it as a mini sketchpad to get some ideas down quick.

My main reason for getting the note 9 instead of the 8 is battery mAH. The extra 700 is really appealing, especially considering I have a 3300mAH phone right now, and it feels like one YouTube video drains a lot of battery.

I need to get laid too haha

>cares about battery life on Samtrash phones

Note8 just got the pie updates, battery life has improved very much.
>youtube
No surprise, use skytube instead or youtube vanced.

This is my first time in this general and im already sick of your shit (tho i did have a giggle)

Yeah kind of, but there's also the issue of future updates for the OS, no? No use buying a new device if it's not supported a year from now :S

>Not caring about battery life on any phone you buy

Has the actual main camera sensor changed at all from the S6 to the S10? I remember hearing that the S8's camera was basically the same as the S7's camera and that the S9's camera was the same as the S8's camera. If so have the only improvements/refinements to the camera been mainly on the software side?

Is the s10 plus good for reading manga? Did anyone here try it with tachiyomi?

it just creates windows for apps that support the mode, surprisingly many do, also you can adjust your dpi seeing for a better resolution on big screens, hook up your keyboard/mouse usb and yeah like dex

How long would a Pixel 2 get OS updates after Android Q? I'm planning on buying one after my nexus 6P

why are you planning on buying an already incredibly obsolete phone some time in the future

Attached: 1489861519275.jpg (612x716, 313K)

Obviously it's not the same sensor considering S6 has a a 16MP sensor and the later ones have a 12MP sensor. This is what sensor each phone has (Samsung sources the camera sensors from either Sony or uses Isocell sensors manufactured by Samsung themselves):
S6: Sony IMX240 or Isocell S5K2P2
S7: Sony IMX260 / Isocell S5K2L1
S8: Sony IMX333 / Isocell S5K2L2
S9: Sony IMX345 / Isocell S5K2L3
S10: Sony IMX??? / Isocell SAK2L4

Not to forget S9 and S10 have the dual aperture feature.

Test

Well, I'm not paying over 1000 eur for a phone again when the predecessor is so much cheaper but still better than the one I currently have. I'm pleased with my 6P but it's starting to act up sometimes so I'm going to need to upgrade in the near future. I'm going to wait to see what they have in store for I/O but I need to start planning

support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/4457705#when_updates
>Pixel 2 / 2 XL
>No guaranteed Android version updates after October 2020
>No guaranteed security updates after October 2020

So you will get Android R at the very least. The original Pixel is getting Android Q even though its guaranteed update support ended in 2018, so if Google does the same with the Pixel 2 you might get Android S in 2021 too.

>already incredibly obsolete
Explain yourself

I think we might see Pixel 3 Lite and 3 XL Lite at I/O, since the leaks said they'd be launching in the first half of 2019.
