well, its a common thing for amoled screens. I would suggest you finding application on Google play something like 'invert screen' and use phone with this for 1-2 hours. This function inverts all colors, so your burn ins will be fixed. If 1-2 hours will not fix and you will still see burn ins a bit, then hold max for 1 day. It will be enough. Sure, fixing is not permanent. It is needed to turn invert screen time by time so you will avoid burn ins.

Also I can find any app which inverts colors of the whole phone, so just type 'burn in fix' in Google play and download very first few apps and follow steps, might help.

Thanks for reply. About HTC one series i must say that i like very much but i read some bad comments about, and usually it's related to hardware issues (i also had a HTC One S few years ago but after while the sound began to no longer work. Reading in web i found that many other people had the same problem. Then i flash the CM 11.2 (not 12.1 because it gave me some problems) and i must say that for a while it worked, but then the sound problem returned (Btw i was noticed one thing: going into TWRP recovey and deleting the Dalvik cache, often, but not always, the audio cames back :D ). This is the main reason why i would opt for other smartphones.

I also owned a Motorola LTE (2014), and i found myself very comfortable with it, but i was looking for somenthing bit updated. Moto E for example it could be good, but the hardware specs are very poor...)

What about Asus Zenfone 2, Xiaomi Redmi 2? Anyone has it? How it works?

My sister has a Zenfone 2 ($199 variant) and she thinks it is fine. I just asked her what she didn't like about it and she said it sometimes randomly reboots. She believed it was down to an app that she was using. It hasn't done it since she uninstalled the app. She also likes how you can move some big apps to the SD card. I used it for about 2-3 hours straight (and still do from time to time when she lets me lol) and I find it to be good for the price. The screen is pretty average all around, the battery life is also pretty average as well. The performance is above average due to it using a beefier GPU compared to something like a 615. Lastly, the camera is all right I suppose. You can get some really nice shots provided that you use the manual mode. Low light shots are between average to good as well.

In my opinion it has great custom rom support. The device already has a Marshmallow rom and I counted around 14 available roms for the device, which to me is a very good amount. I think it's the best value provided you stick with the $199 or $230 version. The $299 version is a tough sale.

I heard that the Redmi Note 2 is a good device, however, since it's a mediatek device ROM development isn't there it has about 5-6 roms.

Hmm, this does not coincide with some other reply that i read, btw, i will try to have more information as possible these days. I understand that as things stand, in recent years, it colud may happen that a guy has a phone that works perfectly and maybe another, with the same phone, that has problems. And not always high price means having certainty of quality.

About the "Redmi" i was referring to Redmi 2 (no Redmi Notes 2) in fact the difference lies in the processor

- Redmi 2: Qualcomm MSM8916 Snapdragon 410

- Redmi Note 2: MediaTek Helio X10 MT6795 Cortex-A53

That's why i looking for Redmi 2, also for the price of course. Unfortunately the smartphones Market has moved almost everything on devices from 5 '' up but it's not what i looking for. Oh well... to be honest i was found a phone that is right for me but... first of all is Sony :p and second it's really too really overpriced for my budget: Sony Xperia Z5 Compact

When i read the specs the first time i think: WTH !! :laugh: how can be put all that stuff into a phone that size 127 x 65 x 8.9 mm :eek:

Hello everyone, I would like you all to help me with this. I am using Nexus 5 from past couple of years now and I want to switch to a new phone. At this moment I am considering the Nexus 6P, do you think I should wait for the upcoming htc Nexus and M10 or go with the Nexus 6P?
[General Topics] SirVer:
If you CAN wait, that'd probably be better; this year's will probably have the SD820, which is worth waiting for, even if the 6P has tamed the 810. Not to mention all the shiny new stuff MWC will bring to the table.

I'm currently using a Samsung Galaxy S5 and I'm most likely going to be getting a Samsung Galaxy Note device as my next phone. People are still developing for the S5 currently so it's still a good device, just depends when I'm able to upgrade and I'll probably do it.

When choosing a phone I only really factor in two things, being the camera and the battery life. It also has to fit into my pocket so it can't be a massive phablet but I like something with a bit of size to it.

Having a decent battery on the device is important as I'm not always near an outlet where I can charge it. I use the phone for all of my tasks such as having my calendar, emails and using it to contact people. Depending on what I'm doing throughout the day, I can be on the phone or speaking to people so having a great battery life is necessary for me. I know the S5's battery isn't the greatest but I carry around portable chargers in my bag so it's easy to have power when I need to charge it.
[General Topics] limjh16:
Point is if I re-contract with my telco I can get any sub-200 phone (that they carry) for free. Also, official Motorola doesn't ship here, so sucks to be me I guess. If I buy from other shops the shipping fee is like over 9000, so in the end not worth it.

Oh OK lol. You can try to go for a Z1 compact (although I do think the Z3 compact is the best compact overall). I not sure how much development the Redmi 2 has. I know the Snapdragon 410 is enough to get the job done for everything but gaming.
[General Topics] Marko Indaco:
Thanks for reply. Yes, for what i have to do with phone, games are the last thing :D that's why i'm looking for something small first of all, but with a minimum of internal storage (8 giga with slot for ext sdcard 32 giga could be enought). Indeed, looking into XDA i found this thread that i had not noticed before and i point out to all those who are interested. :good:

If you're going for the M4 Aqua, get the 16 GB version; the 8 GB version has only like 1 or 2 GB of available memory.
[General Topics] Marko Indaco:
That is a Sony phone and i'm not really into it no more. Anyway tnx for the advice, indeed that is an important thing to consider for all the 8giga phones. Some model occupy only 3 or 4 giga, but others, like this you mentioned takes more space. And this is another good reason why i'm looking for a rom/recovery customizable phone (at least a rootable one) so i can replace the rom and/or uninstall all the bloatware which it is good for nothing and occupies a lot of space. Width and handling for me are very important so... LOL i think I'll go back to using the Nokia 3310 :laugh:

I am also wanting to buy the Nexus 6p. I have the Note 3 and have had it for almost 2 years. It is in pristine condition and runs great. I am running CM 13 and not unhappy with it. But I am ready for a new phone and want pure android. My delimma is should I buy now or wait for the upcoming Nexus. If I knew more about the specs for the next one it would be easier. I don't want to go down to a smaller screen size than what I have now. It is a lot of money to spend and I won't be able to do it more than once this year. I have read the different rumors. Has anyone heard more than rumors? Hate to wait till the end of the year.
[General Topics] SirVer:
I don't know when the next Nexus is releasing, but if it's going to take more than 6 months or so, you may as well buy the 6P. It would be ideal for you to wait, especially since your current phone works just fine, but I can understand the impatience - I'm guilty of it myself. [emoji28]
[General Topics] karier13:
From the things I have been reading the Nexus 6 2016 should be out 4th quarter of this year. Probably Oct or Nov. I have read they will be made by HTC and be 5" and 5.5" screens. And I have read by same company that made 6P and be 6" screens. If 6" I would really want to wait. I don't want a smaller screen so hope the 6" is right. I use this as my main computer since I do it have Internet at home except for my phone. And I am impatient for sure.

[General Topics] Planterz:
Personally, I would wait. I certainly understand the itch for something new and shiny, but you sound happy with your Note 3. At least I'd wait until more details come to light, and not just about the next Nexuses (Nextuses?). Likely it'll sport the Snapdrgaon 820, and so far all we've seen about the 820's performance is (alleged) benchmarks. They're impressive, but they say nothing about possible overheating issues (and after the 810, it's wise to be cautious) or other possible problems. If the 820 is a dud, the Nexus 6P might be a better choice (it seems to be the only one that tamed the 810 properly). Or, since rumor is Huawei is making the new ones, it's possible they could use their Kirin processors. Or they may or may not get the dual front speaker set-up. At this point, we just don't know enough.

The other reason to wait is prices. The Nexus 6 is $300 less than what it originally cost, and on a couple occasions has dropped to $400 less. Myself, I'm waiting for another sale to pick up a 64gb one (now that my income tax refunds are in my bank account). If you like the 6P, but aren't enthused about whatever replaces it, waiting until the new one is available means the price will drop (perhaps drastically) for the older one.

That's just the way I see it. But I've always been an advocate of buying the previous generation model for way cheaper rather than getting the newest shiny thing at full price. At the very least, wait for a sale on the 6P. Amazon, Newegg, and Bestbuy regularly have $50 off sales for various variants.

[General Topics] SirVer:
$200-250: Important specs are the same for both, but G3s camera would probably be better. However, I don't think the Redmi 2 costs that much; if you're talking about the Redmi 2 Prime, then that's the better choice. None of them are the best options in this range. You're probably better off with the Honor 5X, Moto G3 (2 GB RAM version), OnePlus X (if you're not in the USA), or the OnePlus One, which can be found in that range.

$300-360: Of your mentioned options, G3 32 GB is definitely the best, because it has 3 GB of RAM and a better camera than the Nexus, not to mention expandable storage. However, you may want to look at some other options like the Honor 7 (has all the hardware features available today, but underwhelming GPU performance and a heavily skinned UI), the OnePlus 2 (heating issues and no NFC, though), Xperia Z3 (no fingerprint sensor, and might be a bit delicate, but otherwise great), or the Nexus 5X (only 2 GB of RAM, and 32 GB max, but if these aren't problems for you, it's a great choice). These are just off the top of my head - there are many other options.

You might benefit from waiting for MWC, though, for interesting new shiny things, and a price cut on all the older shiny things.

So, as far I'm concerned, here in Croatia most of good mid-range phones are not availiable rtough regular shops and stores (shoping from outside sometimes came a litlle bit less expensive after all taxes and customs fees, but then it is waiting factor which want to escape).

In 200-250$ (~1300-1800 HRK) I found both Redmi 2 and Redmi 2 Prime in same price range, and for me camera is more important then some other stuff (like bunch of ROM's, let's have one good and stable and it should work), so for first option would go with G3s (shop where want to buy it says G3s/Beat, but I know that Beat is 3G variant while G3s is 4G which is must have after LG Spirit 4G LTE)... Other phones like OPO, Honor 5X, OPX are not availiable right now in a lot of shops where I looked for that phones... I even checked Idol 3 (4.7) for this price point, but still I'm curios and would check all phones with hands-on to see what is better for me.

About higher price range - G3 32GB is no1 if money got me, otherwise would get step back with 16GB variant (expandable storage is not an issue, can survive with less memory because don't have bunch of things on SD card right now)... Most of other devices are currently over price-range here (like OP2, N5X, Z3 and Honor 7) or rarely availiable (OP2, just 2 shops have them and they got it per buyer which sucks IMO), so LG's are no1 in this situation.

Thanks in advance.

I guess your best bets are the G3s and G3, then. Spec wise, the Redmi 2 Prime is better than the G3s, but I doubt the same would apply for the camera. G3 would still be good even if it's the 16 GB model, but the heavy UI might make the experience suffer; if you get it, I'd suggest flashing a custom ROM as soon as you're willing to risk it. Can't comment on the Idol, don't know much about it.

Just checked out the G5 articles popping up, and I have to say, I am completely blown away. I haven't felt this excited for a smartphone since I found out about the OnePlus One, or Project Ara. It's nice to see some innovation in the market again, and it's even better to see that they managed to give people what they're competition's been offering, but without the drawbacks, i.e. the metal body with removable battery and SD card. This device will be so far out of my budget it's not even funny, but I still regret buying my G3 two months ago. Then again, once the reviews start coming in, there'll probably be something wrong about it that makes me feel better. Like, for example, no app drawer? The f**k? Why would you do that?

I like the innovation with the Modular design... However the over all design is bland....

They perhaps should have kept it at 5.5" and with the same 3000Mah battery...

The truth is the tech has already as always achieved (IMO) in regards to the next thing (they all manufacturers) have tech well in advance... We just get it in drabs (it's where the money is) and that is what it's about....

But what Lg have released in this step is pretty decent although i won't be purchasing.

[General Topics] Planterz:
That's a bit of a puzzler, especially since it's (a hair) taller than the G4. I'm guessing it's a result of hardware restraints rather than a choice to reduce the screen size.

Slightly, and with slightly smaller screen to light up. Let's see what the 820 does before making any assumptions about actual battery life results not based on mAh figures (it can't be worse than the G3/G4...or can it?).

That's based on preference. Granted, all the reviews/opinions I've read about the back buttons on LG devices were along the lines of "it was weird at first, but after a while it makes perfect sense". But how many people have shunned LG's phones because they didn't want to try these in the first place? It could be that LG is reverting back to what's mainstream. Or it might just be a hardware restraint thing.

Subjective, of course, but the design does nothing for me either. Nothing stands out. Except of course, for the magic port or whatever they're calling it. My question though is if this newfangled whatchmawhozit is only for LG's stuff, or is it open for 3rd party companies to develop their own stuff with? Zoom camera module? Extended battery? Game pads? Amplified speaker system? Some jerry-rigged contraption to hack ATMs like John Conner did in "Terminator 2" with that guy from "Salute your Shorts"? I haven't read anything about 3rd party possibilities.

Regardless, I'm not interested in the G5. I want to go bigger, not smaller. I'm also only really interested in phones with dual front-facing stereo speakers (or at least front-facing). Maybe rear-facing, if everything else is too good to resist. But not speakers located on the bottom. It's the one thing I hate about my OnePlus One.

No interest in the new Samsungs either.
