I had a OPO and it's an awesome device especially for the money

You can get a mint one on Swappa for about $260

No removable battery and no Ex SD card slot but the Black Sandstone 64g is a great phone with a ton of development and great battery.

One other thing that sucker is tough as nails all I had on mine was a tempered glass screen protector.

Just my two cents.

Locked down bootloader with N4 compared to unlockable and rootable OPO with tons of development? ?? OPO hands down.

Especially for the fantastic price

I dumped wife's N4 she hated it
[General Topics] Yary12:
What is quality of sound while listening to music on headphones in OPO in comparison to note 4?
[General Topics] s8freak:
There's several flashable mods for the OPO and Viper mod as well

If you want the N4 it's a great device but you'll pay a bunch more money and depending on the carrier zero dev support due to no root and locked bootloader.

If you're cool with that and have the money the N4 is a superior device.

That being said if you're into tons of mods, Roms and continuous dev support and on a budget OPO can't be beat.

It's a beast

I think it's time to get a new phone.

What are some good suggestions for a easy rootable and flashable phone.

I like my note 2 with my zero lemon extended battery. After all these issues I just had with the os getting corrupted and I can't install recovery now has got me wanting a new phone.

So what are some suggested on a good device that has plenty of rooms and support? I was looking at the opo but you can't change the battery and I'd like to upgrade the battery on the new device .

My upgrade isn't until December.

It puts me at an awkward spot for an upgrade.

It really just depends on what comes out between now and then.

The main prerequisites are going to be

1. Dev support.

2. Reasonable Size

3. Battery life.

My captivate has been carried all the way to jellybean and it runs that pretty dang well so while there is no 100% predictability, I most certainly want whatever new phone I get to have hardware good enough to keep running into the future.. and the dev support to make sure my device doesn't stop getting updates prematurely.

I don't mind the idea of a screen bigger than 4" but, I'm really aiming to keep it under 5" as well.

I've had my focus on the Galaxy SIII for a long time. I worried that it's only the first of a new line though and that it could be out dated quickly with the rate mobile technology is moving these day by days. Other way, I was thinking about the Iphone 5, but since it's not out yet it's hard to see how it will actually review up. so help me and suggest me what is the most suitable for me.

Thank you everyone. I definitely want to be able to mod and such. But again, I want to be able to have a phone with good signal and great performance. You guys see any lag at all when using your mods and apps that are memory or cpu hogs? I don't mind giving a little more money if you guys have another phone in mind that's a little more expensive. I'll definitely check it out. But unfortunately looks like like verizon has the best LTE network here in San Diego so not sure what to do. I'll have to buy a phone unlocked separately but sacrifice faster speeds. Thanks guys, I love all the opinions.

Hi Guys!

Am getting Z ultra around 12,000rs (200$) and my use is most of the browsing ,streaming videos and frequent calls.Over the years have spent lot of money on mobile devices and I dont feel like doing so anymore.I just wanted to know is it worth to buy this device in 2015 and howz the overall user experience,lack of led flash does annoy me a bit.Also am looking for Xiaomi Mi3 and I know both these devices have come of age but still I want to give it a shot,Please give your valuable feedbacks,Regards.

Is it a new phone..? At 12k price z ultra is worth..since it launched at 42k 2 yrs ago.. Like u said no flash thing is a downside but z ultra set its a beautiful phablet.. Has got lollipop update nd is strong for upcoming android updates.. U kno its features.. Its definitely worth..but its a big phone with 6.4inch display it won't fit into ur jeans nd if u manage to push it into ur jeans then u likely cause display issue or display damage.. Sony stopped all support nd u wont get any warranty.. Thats y the price is cheap.. So i say buy xperia Z1 at Rs16999 in amazon.in best buy for a sony smartphone..

[General Topics] ArterialAntlion:
Need new phone, which is good for me?

I need a new phone:

I had:

DesireZ

Galaxy Note 1

Nokia 3410

Nokia n900

From the stability of the structure they were all nice. Except the n900 has a weak microusb port that ripped off the mainboard.

Batteries were utter crap in all of them.

CM was always buggy enough to annoy me.

Stock OSes were always full of unneeded crapware and had their stupid oddities.

I really love hardware qwerty keyboards.

I am without phone and need a new one.

That is stable, sturdy, without bullcrap (I like features but despise anti-features and annoying stuff), reasonable specs to run most stuff, I dont care at all about gaming, long battery life, high quality dsp and audio wiring, preferably a qwerty keyboard, nfc is nice but not necessary, I dont care about 4G as it only sucks my traffic faster, I really care about good software moddability, like CM and whatever android distros exist nowadays, that run on it without daily annoyances.

Does that exist?
[General Topics] rosswaa:
Ok so due an upgrade

Straight away had in my head nexus 5x

Then saw the oneplus 2 and started to think if there are any others similar

I'd rather have something with USB C and that mods easily with good features on as stock android as possible
[General Topics] benb1987:
Got kind of an interesting problem here and that is I'm looking for a new phone on t mobile that I can take the cameras out of for work. I don't care about voiding the warranty but I also want a phone that is done what easy to open and has a good dev support for rooting and roms. Right now I'm thinking the nexus 5, one m8, or the g3. Any thoughts or other phones to look into?

Thanks, Ben
[General Topics] rosswaa:
Steer clear of the g3, its a heap! Got one in my room. It lags like hell, crashes alot and the rom/hacking support is fairly lacking although it has improved alot its no nexus.

Just a heads up
[General Topics] Jeik:
With the fact that the g2 is amazing,the g3 has to be even better.

Every phone can be good in good hands,and if a flagship lags for you,you are doing something very wrong.
[General Topics] zelendel:
That is not the case. Many so called flag ships lag out of the box. Just look at most Samsung devices. They all have lag issues.
[General Topics] rosswaa:
Do you own it? Have you used it?

The camera is awesome, the sound is decent, that's it. And that's on stock, the phone lags and randomly restarts. Stick it on cyanogen and its much better but can be buggy at times and the camera isn't as good as stock

You can improve things but its not great, I wouldn't even consider it anymore. I'm using a old as hell nexus 5 and its ten times better with half the specs
[General Topics] Jeik:
I have used it,one of my friends has it. He doesn't use anything custom,pure stock(no root either) and it works fine.

Doesnt the G3 have stock-based roms?

Actually,I had the same issue with the camera on AOSP with my G2,now with the modded NextCamera I can record in 4k and take excellent pics on AOSP roms(the quallity difference between AOSP and Stock rom pics is small).

But the camera issue is present on all devices using CM.

The only thing my G2(a upgraded Nexus 5) wins against the G3 at is battery life.
[General Topics] benb1987:
Okay so no g3, what about the others?

I've currently got the LG G2 which although seems to get pretty hot at the back when playing anything worth while seems to have a fair bit of power.

Looking into the LG G3, but it doesn't look like too much has changed, chances are my next phone will be an LG or a HTC, wouldn't touch a Samsung as they don't seem to have a lasting build quality in my opinion.

Hello guys. I'm new here. I need advice from you which tablet should I buy. Tablets which I can buy are: Acer Iconia One B1-730 and Lenovo A7-10 These tablets are about same price in my country (low budget tablets, can't buy more expensive). Why I choose Acer: because this model come with 16gb storage and 2x cams(5 and 2 mp) Why I choose Lenovo: looking bigger (but both are 7inches), and I think it can be upgraded to 5.0 lollipop and have gratis external keyboard and 16gb microSD in market where I found it, but I don't like it because have very poor cam.

FOR WHAT I WILL USE TABLET?: I'm starting medical university this year so some of my books are eBooks (my anatomy atlas) so I need for reading, surfing and multimedia (watchsome episodes) .
