Hi peeps, Can someone help me choose between these phones:

- LG G4

- Nexus 6p

- Nexus 5x

Thanks in advance :D
[General Topics] s8freak:
I had the S6Edge as well ATT but I sold it and bought the international S6Edge Plus with 4g of ram. The memory bug in the S6Edge is a known bug and I think was taken care in the last update.

My G928C Edge Plus is rooted running a good T/W Rom and I've debloated it somewhat.

It's very fast and responsive.

I'm an unabashedly admitted Sammy Fanboy so I know my opinion is biased but it's just my opinion.

Nexus 6P without question.

I think the G4 is great but LG likes to lock the BL (except on one version) so i cant support a company which does that.

the nexus 6p costs more tho, is the difference between lg g4 and 6p alot? What are the main differences
[General Topics] force70:
You didnt mention price was a concern.

G4 has advantage of sd card support and removable battery but a slightly smaller screen and likely alot less development.

Its the locked bootloader on all models other than the H815 that put me off of it.

Nexus is of course a recent release and has "better" hardware..or at least newer lol. Sd 808 vs 810.

My budget is quite limited but at least I can afford the Xperia Z1 Compact. Are SD800+2GB RAM specs that'll keep me happy until sometime in 2017? In my country there's a store which sells it at the same price range of SD410-powered devices with 2GB of RAM but the latter SoC is low-end.

The main usage I do is emulation/retro gaming without losing the ability to flash CM ROMs on it. But some SoCs fail at getting decent speed.

[General Topics] devnulled:
OK, due to a serious series of unfortunate and anger fueled events my droid DNA is now for all intents and purposes dead. Only thing holding the screen together is the zagg screen guard and is unreadable, but can still use touch screen on upper left quarter of screen. Would have been worse but my otter box commuter series kept the worst of it to the dresser impact area.

OK, so I'm trying to decide. Another HTC DNA for about 90 on swappa, or another phone with the requirements that it must work on Verizon and be reliable at 4glte, be rooted, and have hotspot unlocked with semi stock style roms available, have at least 32gb memory (or 16 if it has a microsd slot), 2gb system RAM, as good or better processor than my DNA, be 1080p screen, decent camer with flash, and somewhere in the android 5 lollipop for OS would be nice. I'm looking at only having about 150-200 tops to use and though I can use my DNA still the invisishield is going to have to go back to zagg I'm sure under warranty when I get the new phone.

I've had a nexus phone before and loved it, but it was slow compared to the DNA and the radio seemed weak. Every other phone in my house is 3g including a brand new never used palm pre 2 still in box with the charging base from my palm pre plus here. A droid 3 pro I think it is but it has the larger sim card in it for international.. Any advice, opinions? I've used primarily santod040's roms on my DNA.

I wasn't at all impressed with the 6p other than the screen it wasn't anything special. The camera was way inferior to my S6Edge Plus meeehhh I sent it back got my refund and bought a Marshall amp.

For the money my OPO was as good with a better camera even though the screen wasn't as good.

I think with shipping my 64g 6p was $594 and change.

Hi All,

i come from a nexus 4 and i'm looking for a new device.

What is most important for me is battery life and high customization ( i'm flashing addicted ;) ) cyanogen or aosp compatibility.

here's what i'd like in order of importance:

- battery life

- at least 3gb ram

- at least 32gb rom + sd slot or 64gb without

- very good camera

- i don't need a big screen ( coming from nexus4, a 5'' is enough )

Possible phones that i found are LG G4 ( h815, cyanogen supported, but i don't like the plastic feel in my hands ), Moto X play ( very good battery life but snapdragon 615 ), Moto X style/pure ( battery life not as good as X Play but has snap 808, display too big ), Moto X Force aka Droid Turbo 2 ( very good battery life but i don't know if will be very well community supported ). Nexus 5X?

Are there other phones that i missed?

thank you all in advance

Best "new" phone, <$200

I'm getting the feeling that my S4 is about to die...I'm getting a bunch of wifi wakelocks, and have had instances recently when reflashing modems have rendered wifi useless. Anyway, I like the S4, but don't want a newer samsung. So here's what I'm looking for:

1. <$200 used

2. SD card slot (removable battery would be nice too, but I'm guessing I could replace the non-removable batteries if it **** the bed)

3. Large dev community, ability to update roms/kernels/etc without difficulty (my att&t locked bootloader severely limits this, and it's pissing me off)

4. GSM (currently on t-mo $30 plan)

5. 5" screen. No smaller. Might consider bigger, but don't think I need it.

6. Hardware step sensor...Just realized how much I like this on the S4. The separate sensor doesn't drain the battery. Is this standard on most phones? Haven't checked...

Here's the list I've come up with, in no particular order:

1. OnePlus One (too big?)

2. 2nd gen Moto X

3. HTC One M8

4. Nexus 5

5. LG G3 (too big again?)

Any others that I missed? Any of the above that are missing features from my list? Thanks!

I had the black Sandstone 64g OnePlusOne and highly recommend it its a solid device that fits very well in the hand the back feels almost like velvet. Tons of development support you can literally flash Roms all day and it's tough as nails. All I had on mine was a tempered glass screen protector. Check on swappa for a good deal.

It's gonna be hard to find ~5" devices with all the features you want these days. The OnePlus One is probably bigger than you want, but has great battery life, a pretty good camera (not great - my Galaxy S4 is better, but it's way better than the Nexus 4). Development for the OPO is matched/surpassed only by Nexus devices. The 5X only has 2GB RAM and average battery life (but better than the Nexus 4). The LG G3 will have much more development than the G4, if you don't mind going a step backwards in hardware (the battery life will be better though). Regarding size, I own both a OPO and a Nexus 4, and even though at first the size of the OPO scared me, but now the Nexus 4 seems tiny, and now I want something even bigger. If you want to stick with ~5" though, consider the Sony Xperia Z3. Development won't be nearly as good as some other devices, but it has amazing battery life and a pretty good camera.

I always recommend the LG G2 over the Nexus 5. Basically the same size but bigger screen, same CPU/GPU, bigger battery and much better camera. The G3 fixed everything that G2 owners complained about (removable battery, microSD slot). Yes, it's bigger, but it's very compact for the size of its screen, with a 75+% body-to-screen ratio. This should help you visualize the size differences. I can't speak for the step counter sensor.

Not available, eh? It'd probably cost way too much to import then too.

The OnePlus 2 has an OIS camera and 4GB RAM, but lacks the removable battery and microSD slot (64gb built-in is a lot though).

Apart from that, I think I've seen some obscure-branded Chinese devices with crazy specs, but I can never remember the names of them.

If you're willing to go with "only" 3GB RAM, that opens your options up a lot. Frankly, 4GB RAM is kinda overkill, especially with the Zenfone which doesn't offer hardcore multi-tasking stuff like split windows. The LG G3 meets all your requirements except the RAM. Then of course there's the Note 4. 3GB RAM, and the camera lacks OIS, but I've never seen a review that complained about picture quality with the Note 4.

Note 4 does have OIS but am done with Samsung. They make amazing hardware but their software is sluggish and their phones age really bad as time goes on. Was hardcore Samsung fan since Galaxy S2 due to their amazing displays and camera but now other OEMs are almost on par in that dept.

4GB & micro SD is just for future proofing. With Marshmallow, Google is finally allowing to install apps in SD card natively (esp. helpful for those huge games) and there's good support too. Also Android N will be bringing split windows multi tasking as per post by one of Google engineers on Reddit AMA for Pixel C.

[General Topics] nola mike:
Yeah, that's what it looked like. I couldn't tell whether the AT&T version had a true bootloader unlock solution, if the workaround just involved the ability to flash a recovery, or what. T-mo seemed the safer bet (though the one I got is carrier locked, hopefully there's an easy/free way to deal with that).
[General Topics] Planterz:
Not all. Most, but not all. The LG G2 and G3 he mentioned have plenty of development. There's also the somewhat aged but still decent Moto X 2013 Developer Edition, and of course the newer Nexuses and Moto X Pure. Best in the $150-200 price range is definitely the LG G3 if you can find one, followed by the G2. I'd skip the Notes. There's some development for the Note 2, but it's getting long in the tooth, and precious little for the Note 3. Besides, why buy a Note if you're not taking advantage of the stock Note features?

So would a lot of us. Sadly, It's not looking very promising.

So you're on AT&T and you bought a T-Mo G3? As long as the device doesn't have any contract/IMEI issues, T-Mobile should be able to provide you with an unlock code. If not, you can buy an unlock code off eBay. I know with some LG devices you can flash different carrier-specific stock firmwares (ie: pre-installed software/bloatware), but I don't know if this includes the G3. If so, this could solve any potential issues with installing/using AT&T apps. Of course, custom ROMs won't have this issue. Thankfully, the T-Mobile G3 just happens to also support all the LTE bands AT&T uses, including their primary 700MHz band 17.
[General Topics] nola mike:
No, T-mo and bought T-mo. I just don't like being locked. The S4 was AT&T and after a couple of T-mo MVNOs ended up T-mo. I hate buying unlock codes. I don't understand where these people that charge for the codes get them, and why there aren't more code generators around. Every device I've had has been different in this respect. Right now I'm trying to make due until the G3 gets here. I have an AT&T locked iphone that a friend let me use, and am waiting on an unlock code (they told her it could be up to 2 business days!). Also have an AT&T locked burner LG GT365. Online codes are $10, more than the phone is worth.
[General Topics] Planterz:
I've never really understood how unlock codes worked either. Are you sure your G3 is actually locked? Not that it matters much, since you are on T-Mobile, but it's very possible it's already unlocked, and if not, T-Mobile will probably unlock it for you without any problem. When I bought my S4 from a co-worker (it's actually her mom's), it still had some months left before it was paid off, yet when I checked the IMEI on T-Mobile's website, it said it was unlocked and ready to use on any GSM carrier.
