I feel you were a bit quick to recommend the g6 plus. Root still involves some trickery and is not exactly straight forward imo. Not really an issue but tiea in to my next point. There are no Oreo AOSP roms available yet. No TWRP either. I hope this all changes quick. I see potential in the device but just no real development as of yet.

My OP3T died a few days back, needed a mobo replacement so ain't gonna use it anymore.

Please suggest a phone I can upgrade to that's not too harsh on my pocket like the S9/S9+/Note8/iPhone(s).

I am looking out for a phone with at least SD835, 4GB Ram, MicroSD card slot (preferred coz I have a 200GB card lying around), good display, build & battery.

Hey guys,

So I'm thinking about getting a new mid range phone, and while I asked earlier on this subreddit about a Xiaomi phone, I got the feeling that most people would rather go after another phone as a budget phone. I have stumpled upoen the Huawei M10 Lite, Motorola G6 Play and even the Huawei P20 lite, but wonder if I should pick any of those, or even another phone as a mid range phone?

Now the story: I have an iPhone 6S, which is more or less dead. The antenna is garbage (even worse than my GF's, which also have an 6S, so my phone is somewhat damaged apparently), and the battery life is not what its used to be, and since I am done with expensive phones (which is why I go for a mid range Android), I was thinking about getting a new one. The Android market is a little more complext than the iPhone market, since theres usually 2-3 iPhone models that comes out every year, which make the choice easier, but the Android market is a jungle for someone who doesn't really know the market well. The reason I've chosen M10 Lite, G6 Play and Huawei p20 Lite as choices is because the budget doesnt break my bank, and even though they all have flaws, they seem like good phones for the price. I live in Denmark, where prices are somewhat high on the phones. Right now most of them are on sale, and the prices range like this:

Huawei M10 Lite : 266 USD (On Sale, normal price 313 USD) Moto G6 Play: 235 USD Huawei P20 Lite: 360 USD (On Sale, normal price (438)

What's important for me is a phone thats not sluggish, and has a decent camera. I know these mid range phones has pretty bad cameras, with some better than other. But none of them can match my iphone 6S in that regard.

Are any of these phones worth it, or is it worth digging up an old flagship from the previous years, and in which case, which one?

Hi Everybody,

Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus (Exynos Variant) - should I buy?

My Usages generally are :

1. Listening Music

2. Watching Movie

3. Social Networking

4. Web Browsing

And obviously, some voice calling and texting.

I`ve read in web/XDA forum that Exynos version of Samsung S9 Plus has some battery issue (noticeably poor battery backup than the SD version and only Exynos version is available in my country ).

Or Should I go for Oneplus 6 ?

So, I need your valuable feedback/recommendations regarding choosing the right device in between the above said two devices.
[General Topics] xdauser9675:
In my opinion, out of those 3, you should pick up Moto G6 (Plus not play if possible) and from what I am aware of Moto g6 plus is priced around or less than p20 lite.

Moto G6 is more likely to get updates (android version or at least security updates) than Huwaei.

Moto g6 plus does cost the exact same as p 20 lite, so it’s a much better phone?

My loved oneplus 2 is dying(gets really bad battery and gets too hot and I want to change it) so i saw some nice promos with Tim here in Italy(there are no carrier restrictions, just bootanim and a few apps and you can usually remove it quite easily once you have custom recovery) for lg g7 at 300(10€ a month) or xperia xz2 at 450(15/month) or s9/+(exynos so bad battery and even if it was snapdragon modding would've been hard on snap galaxys) for 450/600(15/20) or p20/pro same as samsungs or mate 10 pro same as lg. I don't actually have the money to buy other phones right now and there isn't really a phone that I like very much but i really need to change that phone but I don't know what to get, I need a good screen, don't care that much about jack, I'd like ip 67/8, 64gbs expandable or 128+ not expandable, nice camera and a possibility to mod it in the future(doesn't have to be easy like my actual op) and a good enough battery life that can charge quickly(so maybe no qc 2.0 but 3.0/4+)

I'm looking to get my hands on a reasonably cheap Android based, £60-£120 phone, that has a 5" screen, soft keys, reasonably new up to new (released since 2016-now), that is rootable and has a 720p screen but hats not the biggest requirement. Probably gonna need to get them in bulk (10-50) for a project I am working on. Been using wileyfox sparks up till now but they are now in administration so getting them is/will be hard so want to transfer to a new device. Does any one know of such a device? Been experimenting with the nokia 2 but cant root it so no good. Next looking at sony xperia xa1 which is higher than the price range I stated but willing to pay a bit of a premium for a well known brand.

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to make a good decision in my phone purchase for a device that can be used on Verizon network that has great community support and unlockable bootloader with ability to install custom recovery. I have seen some phones I'm interested in while looking through the unlocked section on some sites used to

SWAP

, but I'm confused as to whether that "Unlocked" is only referring to GSM network such as AT&T or if that means you can use it with CDMA and 4G LTE like VZW. I know that's a relatively noobish question, but I can't afford to f up again. My last purchase was Galaxy S7 Edge, which I bought after seeing root was achievable in the forums. Unbeknownst to me, Samsung did some stupid crap to make it virtually impossible for the bootloader to ever be unlocked, hence making my life miserable and making me immediately regret my purchase very much. I was interested in the 5T, but I'm not sure if that will work with VZW. Any advice or recommendations would be really appreciated. Thank you in advance to anybody that may be able to help.

[General Topics] toddwilfreeman:
I'm in the same boat. As far as I can tell, you should look into these:

Moto G Series

OnePlus (3T and newer)

Google Pixel Series

Factory Unlocked Devices (Not "Carrier Unlocked" - the inconsistencies between carriers and manufacturers on what is or isn't unlocked is confoundingly frustrating)

Given the preference of the S7Edge and 5T, I doubt this would fit the bill for you but I've read good things about the Moto X Pure. Older phone, but may work to bridge you over while you figure out what to do long term.

WillMyPhoneWork.net

I left off the Nexus Series because it would be hard for me to recommend them to anyone else, given how much trouble people appear to have experienced. Disabling cores to make a phone work (a la 5X) seems a bit extreme.

Regarding your/the S7Edge, I'm not 100% sure on this, but you may be able to get the "I" (eye) variant (SM-G935I, I believe, not the "U") that will work stateside. Check the IMEI on the Verizon site before purchasing. The "I" and "U" variants are Factory Unlocked, so you should be able to go in and toggle the "OEM unlock" option. You could then install custom recovery but I believe that will trip the KNOX counter, so only do it if you can live without apps like Samsung Pay. I recently did just that on an S6Edge from Sprint, and as expected, anything that relied on the KNOX platform did not function.

Hello everyone :)

Now I have LG G6. I am looking for something new. I had Oneplus 1 before LG. Is it worth to change it to Oneplus 6?

Maybe you can suggest me some others decent phones with that price range?

I need:

- great camera (LG G6 range at least),

- at least 64GB internal storage,

- it would be nice if phone has a mini jack,

- speed,

- I do not play any games, maybe Angry birds ),

- battery for at least 1 day

- big screen, at least 6,0 inches

In my country LG G7 is 100 Euro more expensive than OP6 (maybe it's worth to pay a little more money?). I have not never used Motorola, Asus or huawei phones. Hiawei Mate looks nice.

BTW. I am a student so I can get 5% discount for OP6.

Can someone help me i have some questions regarding

buying Onkyo Dpx1 Audio android player

I need quick help

I have a question before buying Onkyo Dp-x1 Japanese audio player

I love everything about it, is the Lamborghini of Audio players

in this price range.

My concern is the problem Onkyo had

with headphones jacks on older models

that later was fixed.

I am in Europe and i like to know

If this version the shop here sell is the fixed version

Model: DP-X1-B

Ean 4573243090269

is this the upgraded model with the headphone jack fix?

i dont want one with loose headphone jack

and that give audio distortion

I see there is two models atleast

Dpx1 and Dpx1a and now there is Dp-x1-(b)

whats the difference?

What was the fuzz about the audio distortion from headphone jack anyway

does it only afect streaming android audio apps over internet.

I am going to use it not as Dac only a Audio player on street

with Poweramp , i will not stream music through internet apps

will i still be afected by the headphone jack problem.

iIwill also only use the 3.5 headphone jack, not 2.5 jack for Dac and streaming

so i be fine?

Is dificult to get an answer from the shop before buying

they just answer they dont know

But then again there is 15 days return and 2 years warranty in my place.

Aftermarket Android phone for Sprint network with good Bluetooth audio?

[Moved from General/Questions and Answers]

Hello All,

My Galaxy Note 2 (Android 4.4., Sprint network) has long had the choppy Bluetooth audio problem that is all over the user forums. It is over 5 years old and since I dropped it and cracked the screen, I am looking for a replacement. I bought a Galaxy Note 4 from eBay thinking the audio problem must have been fixed in subsequent generations. This had Android v6.

Unfortunately, it hasn't. If anything, the Note 4 is even worse than the Note 2. They both show the problem with two different headphones and a car audio system so it has to be the phones. I had an EVO4G before and though it was a battery hog, I never had a lick of trouble with the wireless audio.

I have done all the re-pairing, BT cache clearing, device cache clearing, and power management disabling that have been suggested over the web to no avail. Right pocket, left pocket, shirt pocket, strapped to a baseball cap - nothing helps.

Does anyone have suggestions for a decent aftermarket/eBay US$150-250 Android phone that has rock solid Bluetooth connectivity? I don't use it for much other than listening to audio while I take my daily walk and email/texting. I am not confident about rooting.

Thanks,

RP

Hello

I have a 2.5 year old Nexus 5x and am seriously thinking about getting a new phone. I've narrowed it down to two choices.

The Oneplus 6 (8gb/128gb) that I could get for around 550€ with the student discount. The phone is everything I ever wished for, except for the camera, which I fear might be a downgrade from Nexus 5x and the not so good customer service.

The other one is Huawei p20 pro, which I could get for 570€ from my carrier. It is a good phone, but I really dislike the EMUI. I was not very impressed with the camera. Hardware is amazing, but I really dislike their postprocessing and I've read that gcam port is probably unlikely because of the Kirin processor. I also don't know how Huawei phones hold out long term (speed, lagging, software updates...).

I plan to keep the phone for 2-3 years. Things that are important to me are stock software and I also want a good camera (at least on par with my nexus 5x). I don't game and I mostly use the phone for calling, texting, listening to music, taking pictures and browsing the internet. It is important to me that the phone stays fast and doesn't lag throught it's lifetime and that it gets enough software updates.
