It's old news but, here's an article about Xiaomi RedMi Note Caught Secretly Sending Photos and Texts to China Servers.

What's interesting is that the article claims the transmission continues even if the firmware is changed. That's why having access to source code is important...

LG G2 has basically the same specs and dimensions as the Nexus 5, but with a slightly bigger screen, much better camera, and a bigger battery. The stock LG ROM is heavily modified of course, but there are plenty of custom ROMs that, being AOSP based, are close to stock, but with some very handy features added.

There's the 2014 Moto X. Newer specs than the G2 and Nexus 5, but the battery isn't going to be much better. Nearly stock Android though.

HTC One M8 has an alright battery and there's custom ROMs available.

A wiser move would have been to buy a phone only when you know (a) the boot loader is - or can be - unlocked, (b) root is possible, (c) the kernel source (and device tree) has been released or is available. That way, you support manufacturers that do the right thing and boycott those that don't....

[General Topics] Planterz:
Agreed. Going from a Nexus 4 I'm sure I'd love the complete openness of the Nexus 5, but the mediocre battery life and camera are deal-breakers for me. The G2 however, is practically the same size but with a bigger screen, much bigger battery, and far better camera. The G2 won't have as much development available, but it has LiquidSmooth, or I can tweak the stock ROM (switch between the 2), and that's good enough for me. I'm hoping to get a used G2 in the next few weeks.

I wouldn't expect the prices to drop much, if at all, in the next few months. G2 prices are already quite low, and people turned off by the size/price of the Nexus 6 are likely to keep their Nexus 5s.

Yeah. it gets a bit toasty. We have 2 summers. One where it's hot as hell and dry, and one where it's not quite as hot, but humid with the monsoon season (and we get storms like you see on the Discovery Channel). Half my life was with bitter colds in the suburbs of Chicago and the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. The other half is in the desert in AZ. Obviously, I can only speak for myself, but I hate the cold, and I love the heat. And I definitely love the mild winters here. But it does take a specific sort of person that can walk around outside in 110° heat and not feel like a fried chicken.

And the mild winters are definitely a welcome trade-off.
[General Topics] triton302:
I've been with Verizon for many years, and grandfathered in to unlimited data. Love it.

Here's my dilemma... A few years ago I had the Galaxy S3, loved it. Moved on to the S4, hated it since it was so laggy. Ditched it for the '13 Moto X Dev Edition, had it since they came out. Got to the point where I needed something with better battery life and the screen started to get severe burn-in. Decided to try the iPhone 6 and 6+ a couple of weeks ago, both had horrible urine-yellow screen issues, took them back and got the Note 4. Well... I've been through three Note 4's due all having screen discolorations, one being pink at the top, the other two were darker on the right side of the screen and very warm on the left. Needless to say, I'm disappointed in Samsung since their screens were always awesome.

So... I'm still within my 14 day return period and need options on good phones. I'm looking for good battery life, something not terribly laggy, takes decent pictures and doesn't suffer from bad burn-in too soon, preferably LCD but will consider something AMOLED. I'm used to the Note 4's size already so I'm not picky on phone size. Expandable storage is also preferred but not a deal breaker as long as it's at least 32GB built-in.

If I can't figure something out, I'll have to grab a used phone from craigslist or something to hold me over until something better comes out. Please help me out guys, I'd really appreciate it!

Hey guys.

I am going to buy a LG G2 or S4 this Sunday.I am aware that that KNOX of the S4's is a bugger,but I am not informed about any possible barriers between the CM12 and me when it comes to the G2.I am talking about the bootloader and things of that sort.I was very unsatisfied with my previous Xperia SP because of the bootloader,and I do not want the same experience again...

So,does the G2 have any headache-giving flaw when it comes to installing custom roms(CM12,G3 ported rom,etc.) and kernels?
[General Topics] force70:
Ive had both devices, knox never bothered me because i dont care about warranty, it wont prevent you from flashing anything.

I loved my G2 the only reason i sold it was the pitiful 32gb of storage and no ext sd support.

I could flash anything on it pre kit kat but i dont think they have found away around the kit kat bootloader yet?

If you need ext sd support s4 is the easy choice.

I'm thinking about upgrading my phone tomorrow. I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S III on Verizon and I've been stuck w/ KNOX since mid-January, but I've gotten root on it and I removed most of the bloatware that caused it to lag.

Now, I'm stuck between two phones at the moment, a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 or a Motorola Droid Turbo (hint, hint, I need a VZW phone).

I think I'm leaning towards the Note 4 b/c of the colors the camera produces and it is a little bit more recent (Turbo was in July-ish and has the same specs, but you never know).

What's your guys opinion on these two devices? Any good, bad or horror stories?
[General Topics] dodgebizkit:
If you can get the nexus 6 on your carrier get that, other than that, a year with the note 3 has put me off touchwiz for life - I loved the screen size,camera, s pen, display, build quality etc, but after going to the nexus I could never go back to the note series while nexus devices have similar specs.

I don't know about the droid turbo but I've used an American boost mobile moto g 1st gen and although it's a budget model it smashes the iPhone 5s and lots of top shelf android handsets in user experience,

And nexus 6 is a beast, so I have some confidence in Motorola.

The note is great but touchwiz gets on my nerves, I don't hate it as many do but it does detract from the

android experience more than it adds to it.

I hope this helps:)

Custom ROM for my house phone? why not?

I prefer the body design of the G2 because i plan to use only the G3 rom port and CM12.And I honestly don't care for the lack of the sd card slot,because I don't record videos,eventually take a few shots.

I do care for warranty,as I am taking the phone on contract for the first time in my life,but am used to be able to return the warranty to my devices when I was supposed to take them to a repair shop.

Can I still flash CM12 even if they didn't find a way around the bootloader(maybe the devs found a workaround,just like they did on my Xperia SP with a locked bootloader which was then able to have CM11)?

[General Topics] Planterz:
Camera leaves some to be desired, as does battery life.

The HTC M8 is an amazing phone...except for the camera. Perfectly adequate for Facebook, but only because FB pictures will be nerfed anyway. No matter how good the software, no matter how big the pixels, 4MP is still 4MP.

That leaves the G3 and the S5, and honestly, it's a toss-up. The G3 has a bigger, higher res screen, but the screen on the S5 will look prettier with the AMOLED display's color saturation. Both have awesome cameras; it'd be hard to pick one over the other. G3's battery is bigger, but the bigger, higher res screen means more battery drain, and in testing, the S5 lasts longer than the G3. The S5 has waterproofness.

Really, you need to go to the store and see them in person. The S5 is a big phone. You said you don't want a huge phone like the Notes. The G3 is somewhere inbetween the Note and the S5, as is the HTC M8 (slimmer, but very tall).

A few phones I think you should consider that you didn't mention are the 2013 Moto X, the Samsung Galaxy Alpha, and the LG G2. The 2013 Moto X is still a very capable device, and extremely ergonomical. The LG G2 is also an extremely capable device, with its 5.2" 1080p screen, SD800 processor at 2.3GHz, and 2GB RAM. Fantastic camera, and big, long lasting battery. The 2013 Moto X and G2 can be had for cheap, since they're "old", saving you some cash. If you prefer something smaller than the huge flagships, but want something with flagship specs, check out the Galaxy Alpha. Slim and sexy. Great camera, tons of features (including the fingerprint scanner), and top-end hardware.
