OPO vs G3

Hello friends. I have been using my OPO for 7 months. Few weeks ago touch issues appeared. Now I'm going through RMA process and I'm wondering of selling received OPO to buy something else is good idea. OPO is great, but after that touch problems I lost trust to it. I thought about LG G3. It has great camera (which is important to me), good battery, IR, removable battery, expandable storage and is little bit smaller. I've heard that it has good rom, but it has also CM official nightlies, so maybe there won't be problem with custom roms (I really like CM, and custom roms). What do you think? Is there someone who switched from OPO to G3 or vice versa?

[General Topics] obscuresword:
I like the Sony E4G, Moto E 2nd (4g version only), and Lenovo A5000. If I were to chose myself I would pick the Sony even though the Lenovo is the best lol. To be honest they all are pretty good just depends on which is the cheapest.

Planning ahead - After Verizon Note 2

Had a scare over the weekend with a bad battery that made me think my Verizon Note 2 was done for.

Back up and running on the Note 2 and not particularly in a hurry to upgrade - in fact, would like to wait until fall for some contract reasons (small business lots of lines that I'm trying to wittle down).

But - this weekend made me realize that I need to have a plan in the can for the inevitable lost/stolen or dead phone. If Note 4 was rootable, that would be my no-brainer standby. As it stands now, I was going to buy a certified pre-owned Note 3 from Verizon today.

Need a daily driver, love the stylus but could live without it since I also have a Note10.1 Tab. REALLY feel trapped in a locked down phone, but guess I could live with it if I had to. Biz traveller on the road 25-50% of the time, largish hands (can't type on my wife's iPhone 4 or 5 to save my life) so I like a bigger screen. I keep an Otterbox Defender on my Note 2 which is quite large and I don't mind. Really like having microSD slot - saved my bacon many a time when screwing around with ROMS.

If I had to make a shift in the next 6 months, is there a better choice than a Note 3 for my needs? Are the moddable, rommable days of yore coming to an end in Android land.

Hello everyone,

I currently have an LG G3. I'm wanting to get a new phone (T-Mobile JUMP!), but I'm torn on what to get. I want better performance for sure, but is it worth it to go to the G4 or S6? I was reading that the S6 will lack development interest due to Exynos, plus a locked bootloader. But then the G3 doesn't have sustained support. Seems like the developers just got on it to satisfy their curiosity, made a ROM, and hopped onto the next phone. I'm afraid the same thing will happen to the G4.

Also, I read that the G4 will use slower memory due to it being incompatible with the GPU (or CPU, can't remember). I think the memory was about 25Mb/s slower than the S6. Also, they are using a 6-core vs the S6's 8 cores. But that bootloader/Exynos issue has me concerned, or else the S6 would be a clear choice.

Anyone have any suggestions? Not saying price isn't an issue, but I also want the performance. Not worried about removable batteries or SD cards. Also the S6 Edge is not something I want.

My choices aren't limited to those 2 phones. It just seems those 2 are the current top performers.

i dropped my first ever owned iphone 6 plus.after using it for 2 moths and coming from android family from the day 1 when it was ported to my beloved htc hd2 i am quite happy with i0s 8 with some minor adjustment.

but now aplle ask me to give 28k INR to get it replaced which is bad economic decision.

al though want to keep that apple what should i do?

1 sell the phone and dump the cash on another android phone

2 get it repaired by local guy with FIRST COPY SCREEN.dont know much about it

IMO i think S6 is overpriced. interesting to hear ur feedback about LG. I would prefer an S5 over an S6 if I had the choice. seems to have better value. If not an S5, for me I would probably get the HTC M8 or M9 when my phone contract renewal comes up. a few my friends who were on Samsung have already switched to HTC, and they gave good overall feedback on it.

Hello. I'm going to change my OPO because of it is too big and touchscreen issue drives me crazy. Im thinking about sgs5.

I'm just curious if cm12.1 is better than stock ROM on s5.

I've herd that there is no official Samsung's kernel source support, so custom ROMs are garbage.

It that true? I love CM, and I want my future phone to run CM smoothly as nexuses or 1+1.

What about s5 camera cm vs stock? Is battery good in s5 cm12/12.1? Are customs stable on it?

I want something 5.2' good battery and good cm12.1 support.

I doubt you could guess at that. Some light last 6 months and others 6 years. There may be a higher chance of earlier failure from those cheaper brands.

I have a 4.5 year old HTC desire my friend owned since new, works perfect still. And I got a free iphone 3gs probably about the same as also working fine although I don't know the history on it.

According to my experience I can say that some of the chinese Smartphones do last for atleast 2-3 years like Xiaomi, Gionee and others . But it also depends on how you take care of it like in Iphone even if you drop it 3-4 times normally it won't do any harm but in chinese phones there can be. But there is one advantage of them that they cost less for good configuration and you can change the phone after 1-2 years.

Whatever you buy go for a phone with snapdragon processors if you care about updating your phone to latest Android version and community support. Those in house made Chinese socs suck. They are very slow in getting updates.

Phone for browsing interwebs

Do you chaps have any recommendations for a smart phone, mainly for browsing and instant messaging? I don't really play games on it but I do use it for navigation and bluetooth music streaming. A decent size screen would be desirable.

I'm thinking it doesn't need a massively processor, but ram is more important.

I've been using an LGL22 but I've pretty much bricked it as I wasn't 100% happy with the ROM i had on it.

I'm in the UK and I'll probably be getting it from a particular internet auction site
[General Topics] electech13:
Yes it did.. For the cold anyways.. We still only got about 4 real snowfalls.. But yes the "deep" cold was prevalent and long but that was last two years due to that "polar vortex" bringing down the Arctic air.

We are supposed to go back to normal now for future winters..

***sorry but gonna veer off on tangent for a minute lol***

And normal.. What is that, lol? I'm not sure how old you are and where u live but in the GTA it's beyond INCREDIBLE just how much our winters have changed in a mere 20 years!

If you grew up here like I did, when I was young it was full winter (snow and cold) right from November to March.. Lots of snow, staying on ground the whole time and never a day above 0. And for us skaters/hockey there were outdoor rinks EVERYWHERE and lasted months...

Now (with a small exception these last two years) our winters are vastly different! Heck, do you remember the two years prior to these last two? Only a couple of snowfalls.. Total accumulation was tiny.. Multiple days above freezing.. Heck several "mild" spring like days.. A ton of rain! Yes rain! In the winter.. WTF?

And bye bye rinks.. There hasn't been any outdoor (man made no special cooling equipment) ones in over a decade! They would try but never lasted more then 3 days..

This kind of climate change I wouldn't have expected in my life or a century let alone a few years!

Not to get into a climate debate in here, lol but I truly believe that there is no question about "global warming" and that it really can't even be debated.. The only thing that should be debated, (and is) .. Is if *we* are the main cause of it? .. That is a good question.. But is weather drastically changing all over the world? No freakin' doubt!

####

PS *sorry to the thread and anyone who sees this as it is off topic lol* - but to get back on topic...

Next phone or worth considering? - G4, my Note4 still rocks... Note5 when released, M9 (maybe but I haven't tested yet), my Nexus6 is good and recommend it too for those who like the "big phablet phones) and lastly the S6.. It is truly amazing and big step for Sammy but no battery/SD is big for some.. As is Exynos soc (not Snapdragon) and it has a couple bugs to get fixed (happening as we speak)

HTC M9 camera is bad due to lack of OIS. Not well optimised at all. Pics are dull & lifeless. Rest of the fone is awesomeee though. If u can live with a not-so-gud camera, then u can take the HTC M9.

Rest u hv to pay a premium for their fones down the range too. Though performance is gud.

Though I owned only 1 HTC phone till date, I'd say it left a deep impression on me. All I'll say is that the experience will be like their tagline- Quietly brilliant.

Hi!

I'm looking for exchange for my S2. I also have S5 (I have two phones - dual sim is not an option).

I done some research and I found couple of interesting models that will be good for me.

And here comes the list:

- HTC One M8

- HTC One M8s

- LG G3

- Xperia Z2

- Xperia Z3 (only if I find bargain price)

Want I want is - a lot of mods (as possible). 2GB RAM minimum, LTE, microSD Slot or minimum 32GB of internal memory. Rest I think does not matter that much at this. Maybe battery life - 1-2 days will be ok.

Which from the list will u recommend and why?

Maybe u can recommend one outside the list?

The Z3 have a stunning battery life , you can get 2 days of mid-heavy usage. Great performace and beautiful design, lollipop is available too. Yes , the camera improved from Z1 to Z3. So i highly recommend you this phone.

One small note : if you got it , buy a case , the phone is all screen and a drop can kill it , quite fragile.
[General Topics] obscuresword:
The Z3 is still kind of slippery (due to the glass back), and the touch screen is a lot better. Here is a camera comparison: http://www.gsmarena.com/piccmp.php3?idType=3&idPhone1=6849&idPhone2=6539&idPhone3=5753. It seems that it got a bit better.

The reason why I would chose the Z3 over everything else is because of battery life (blows the other choices out of the water), design, and the compactness of the phone (compared to the others). http://www.gsmarena.com/battery-test.php3. http://www.gsmarena.com/battery-test.php3, http://www.phonearena.com/phones/benchmarks (here it compares a little bit of everything.)

Earlier I asked about the OPO and the LG G3, where would you rate the OPPO Find 7 compared to these phones. I've been reading a lot about the other phones and from whatg I'm seeing the OPO's camera is not the best I take a lot of family photo's on the fly with the phone and sure right now my note 2 really sucks, but I would like to be able to take nicer pictures. From what I saw the Find 7 as a really nice camera, it's a really nice looking phonemay have some screen issue, yellow tint at the bottom some units with dead pixels, but so does the OPO. Samsung phones are really nice and sturdy but the price point is just north of what I'm willing to pay and can't take a subsidized phone from my carrier since I will lose my unlimited data plan. 600$ canadian is pretty much my top. Sorry for asking again I really find it hard to make up my mind when buying expensive stuff.

So what Im looking for is

Long lasting battery or quick charge

5.5 in screen

sub 600$ canadian

something that will last me 2+ years

something that can take abuse, I always have screen protector and case on phone

good music quality to use with good quality headphones or iem

enough power to play a few games

business suite capable, well all phone do this but it's still needed

Good camera with decent low light capabilities

quiet mode where nothing even notification light get through, this is extremely important

ROOT and quality roms (really love using Omni rom)

Must be able to connect to Bell Mobility

I dont mind refurbished phones but in canada they are hard to find

What I'm looking at right now are the

Oneplus One

LG G3

OPPO Find 7

other option that fill my need
