Pre-order pixel 3 or wait for oneplus 6t launch to decide? My Op3 is getting tired, charger doesn't often dash charge. Size and camera say pixel. Price isn't too big a deal. Will probably keep about 18 months. Headphone jack would have been nice, but not going to fuss about it.
[General Questions and Answers] 350Rocket:
I'd go with the OnePlus 3t but I'm biased. I bought the OnePlus 5 new after trying to find a used 3 or 3t. The OnePlus 5 has been the best phone I've ever had and I once had a used OnePlus one I loved also. The g6 would be a nice phone also but I had a lot of bad luck with LG phones.
[General Questions and Answers] briandanforth1:
I appreciate your input. He posted the question on Reddit in which one reply pretty much elaborated on what you've said. Apparently the LG G6, V10, and V20 have issues with bootloops. My personal recommendation was the 3T as well but that was entirely based on things I've read rather than any sort of personal experience.

He plans to wait til atleast Tuesday (Oct 9th) for the new Pixel to be released. Figure good chance for some new listings on Swappa and hopefully better price :) Any other input is still appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] 350Rocket:
I thought maybe they finally got their Cr&p together with the g6. I knew they had bootloops from the g4 to the g5 and also the v10+20. I personally owned a G2, nexus 4 and 5 all of which had hardware issues. I also replaced the motherboard for a friend with a g3 that was overheating. I sold my g4 before it got old enough to fail.

Going by the quietness of the OnePlus 5 forums there doesn't seem to be a lot of hardware issues besides the jelly scrolling that myself and many others don't even notice without looking for it.

From here on I will likely stick with a OnePlus because I can't afford a pixel and I use the headphone jack every day.
[General Questions and Answers] gotcha640:
Not sure I understand why you guys are talking about 3T. I'm looking at the pixel 3 getting released 10/9, oneplus 6T getting launched 10/17. With the delivery times on the first two pixels of up to a month, and the Op3 took about a month, I'd like to order one of them right away.

I'll probably end up ordering the op6t as soon as possible, hope the camera is great, and see how the pixel stacks up in 6 months.

---------- Post added at 06:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 PM ----------

Neither the op6t nor the pixel 3 will have a 3.5 built in, but both come with adapters. Pretty sure that's been confirmed for at least weeks.
[General Questions and Answers] 350Rocket:
Yeah I thought I read that there somewhere recently. I will probably be buying a used OnePlus 6 in 1-3 years depending on how my OnePlus 5 holds up. Then I will try to use that as long as I can. Being without a headphone jack is messed up IMO.
[General Questions and Answers] lu99ke:
Pixel XL hands down IMO... Best camera by a long way... And will have longest support... And best or second best community support ( behind 3t maybe )..

Hey guys,im looking for a substitute for my S5,i would like something that would allow a lot of customizations(Xposed of course) and if possibile a good range of custom Roms,good camera and battery life and not too big(something the size of a s8/p20 would be great...my budget is 400 €,is there something good enough for this price?
[General Questions and Answers] briandanforth1:
Thanks for the input. The community is what I really value about the Nexus/Pixel line of phones. I'm still using a Nexus 6 and not a doubt it in my mind that I wouldn't have had the experience that I have without XDA or the online community of the folks.

[General Questions and Answers] x_orange90_x:
I'm currently torn between the LG Q7+ and the Samsung Galaxy A6+. I'm on Metro and my budget is only $300. Both of these phones are fairly comparable specs except the Samsung has a larger Super AMOLED screen and better cameras. Another upside to the A6+ is it's already rootable whereas the Q7+ isn't and it isn't looking like it will be either.

I can get the Samsung from Amazon right now factory unlocked for $290, but with no warranty because it's "International Stock" from a third party seller. It is however brand new. The LG I'd have to buy outright directly at the Metro store. I'm open to suggestions but my finger is hovering over the Amazon Checkout button ATM ?
[General Questions and Answers] gotcha640:
Moto X4? I got two for my parents through Google fi for 250 each.
[General Questions and Answers] x_orange90_x:
I checked it out and didn't really consider it much compared to the other 3. Someone on Amazon said it didn't work on Metro, but I'm not really sure if there's any truth to that.. It is unlocked and GSM so I couldn't imagine why it wouldn't
[General Questions and Answers] 350Rocket:
Which is exactly why I would buy a OnePlus 6 right now if I was looking for a new phone and then I'd keep it as long as possible to delay having to carry an adapter to plug in my car stereo or headphones. I can barely remember to bring everything I need in a day and one thing I finally don't need is a charger because the battery life is finally good enough it's impossible to kill my phone in a day. But I do use the headphone jack every day and I won't remember the adaptor.
[General Questions and Answers] Hummerschmidt:
hmm

I think it is wrong info about not working in Metro...
[General Questions and Answers] CamoGeko:
OnePlus 5 is still an amazing device, beats a Pixel in almost all factors imo. Its actually way easier to modify/customize as well.

Personally I have two of the best phones from last year currently imo - Essential Phone and OnePlus 5. Both can be bought fairly cheap nowadays.

Next phone with cyanogenmod and 3G only

Hope I'm not interrupting anyone else's search here...

Hi all, I've been reading xda for a while but haven't posted before. I've currently got a Samsung Fascinate with CM7.2 and Glitch 13.1 running and it's worlds better than stock....however, not perfect.

I'm looking to get a "new" phone in the next few months, but I don't want to buy a current model, as they all come with 4G. For what I use it for, 3G is great, and I'd rather not add $10 to my bill for something I don't want...

So what I'm looking for is the best 3G only phone that is working 100 percent with cyanogenmod 7, 8 or 9. My fascinate works 95 percent great, but has a few quirks, and battery life isn't great. So essentially, I'm looking for a super stable phone for CM that also has good battery life.

Any recommendations? I've seen some people recommend the HTC Incredible 2, but not sure how solidly it runs CM7.2. My Fascinate is considered stable too by cyanogenmod, but without the Glitch kernel, the speakerphone was completely unusable and I still have issues with the wifi randomly disconnecting.

Thanks!

I don't know how the prices work in your country :/ But are you on england? If so, you can get the Nexus 7 really cheap.

---------- Post added at 12:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 AM ----------

Honestly, I don't like both companies, but from what I can see: 4X has quadcore, T has better design, T should get more ROMs since I think they didn't make custom ROMs for it yet (locked bootloader).
[General Questions and Answers] purpletriangle:
Yup, England. Cheapest i could find the Nexus 7 was £160, other places £180. Sadly this is too much as my friend is only looking to spend £100 so i don't know what to recommend to him, just need to know sooner rather than later as deliveries for Christmas are going to be backed up!

What is your budget ?
[General Questions and Answers] Felimenta97:
Sorry, but Sony isn't known for offering a good support? They are the most dev friendly OEM of the major ones. (This applies only to Brasil, but you can have an idea: they are the only company I can find info on their site, and answer any question you have. It is almost impossible to have an answer from Samsung).

The JB is indeed late, but it's due a huge change that is happening internally, which will help bringing updates much more faster. Also rumours their skin will be revamped next year, with a look much closer to Vanilla.

About support for custom ROMS: We have an entire team bringing CM10 and Cm9, another team for AOKP ICS and JB, and another, smaller, but still great team bringing Paranoid, P.A.C. And Dark Passion for it. Let's not forget a few great devs working on stock based ROMS. The number of devs isn't exactly huge, but it is great.

The XDA forums for it are one of the most organized ones, and there aren't many stupid noobs.

"What really matters in this world, anyway?"
[General Questions and Answers] Felimenta97:
I'm also not sure about KLP, but who knows? They were, on 2011, the only OEM to update all their phones (except Play, for good reasons) to update all their decides to ICS. No other OEM did that.

Sony skin is good, indeed. Simple, minimalistic and modern (no bright colors all over the UI). About 16 Gb, and to think I only had 2 Gb on my Micro SD that came with my X10 Mini Pro. Now the 32 Gb barely hold what I use. (In fact, it is 26 Gb on SD partition, 2 Gb for data, 1 Gb for system, 250 MB for Cache and rest for other stuff.)

[General Questions and Answers] CamoGeko:
Why get something so old, especially a Samsung?

It doesn't even have AOSP Pie.
[General Questions and Answers] swiftbones74:
Because he wants to spend $50. The device never got even Nougat from Samsung but Los/AOSP ROM'S are plentiful. There are still some bugs on pie but it will definitely get official Los 16 and probably beyond. True its arm32 but I think it makes sense for a person on a shoestring budget that want to get into kernel development.

Don't get me wrong, I hear you, Samsung sucks but the s5 is good for the $ money IMO.

Which windows tablet i should get ???

hello so i have budget close to 250-300 USD and i just want to buy the most powerful tablet i can get , i'm talking about stylus , Strong processor and high speed rams

i don't care if its used or pre owned or refurbished as long as its in almost as good as new condition

it has to be not bigger than 10 inches because i'm planning to carry it every day on my cargo pants ( i currently carry galaxy note 8 which is 8inches ) in it

--- i have my eyes on

surface pro 2 10 inches 8gb i5 best processor so far

dell venue 11 pro 7139 i5-4300y , 8gb 10 inches

Chuwi Hi10 Pro ( if there is a 8gb rams of it )

i saw some asus t100 but i dont know 4gb rams is pretty not very smart choice specially that rams are glued to the motherboard

anything else ???

i like dell venue but almost every top 10 article doesnt have it at all

any suggestions ?

thanks

And if there is any other suggestions, i need the best tablet i can get for such a tiny budget i hqve

Verizon: Unlockable bootloader and easy root?

I read the last 20 pages of this thread, so sorry if this has already been answered. I'm on the Verizon network because I've got a tower sitting right on the property where I work, so I can stream sporting events and whatnot reliably work really hard while there and do this to the tune of about 40GB per month. I'm currently using a Moto X Pure from ~2015, but it finally took its last drop yesterday, causing random blackouts that require peeling the back cover and unplugging/replugging the battery to reboot.

I've bounced from Developer Editions/etc. for nearly a decade now for one reason: So I can bypass the entitlement check and hotspot my phone on a grandfathered unlimited plan. That's pretty much all I care about. I want a phone on the Verizon network that I can very easily unlock the bootloader, root, remove bloatware, edit the entitlement check file, and that's pretty much it. What's the best device out there right now with a strong development community that will make that process easy? For under, say, $400?

I see the Moto X4 is $300 right now, and I understand that its bootloader is unlockable. I've really liked my last two Moto phones (Moto Gestures, etc.). Would this be a good candidate? Must have expandable storage, and I'd prefer a 3.5 jack. I'd be willing to part with the gestures, though, if there's a phone that's way better or just as good and cheaper. To be clear: Don't really care about custom ROMs, Android versions, wireless charging, NFC, fingerprint sensors and all of those things. Just stable, decent battery, good build, decent camera, decent price, and the ability to clean bloat and bypass the entitlement check for free mobile hot-spotting.

One last question: Is buying a new phone right now even smart at all with 5G coming early next year? Should I just hold my current jalopy together with bubble gum and duct tape for the time being so I don't feel like I'm stuck with an expensive brick in five months?

Any suggestions are really appreciated.

I think the popularity of tablets is fairly low on these forums compared to smartphones. I know a lot of things about different current smartphones if someone was to ask me for advice on a new purchase, but I know nothing about any of the different tablets available.

Hey guys,

I am looking for a phone which has ~7 inches. The reason for that is, that my hands are very big and I just like the size and screen quality more than the performance of a phone. I have been happy with the Mi Mix 1 for a very long time now, but I really want to go one size bigger in terms of display. So far, the only phone I was coming across was the Mi Max 3, however, since I also like custom ROM's, the support for custom roms for the mi max 3 does not seem as big as it has been for the mi max 3. Any suggestions ? Is there a phablet coming next year or is it not worth waiting ?

Seeking Advice on Replacement Smartphone

Greetings to all,

My current/previous smartphone is/was a refurbished, unlockedLG G5 H830 purchased from a seller on E-Bay. In attempting to gain root access, a problem was encountered and now the smartphone is bricked, saying it is trying to update the firmware. While I am continuing to try and breathe life back into it, I feel I am in a losing fight, so I am looking at replacing it. Advice on selecting a replacement is the purpose of my post.

My provider (Tracfone) has the following smartphone that are within my price range: Samsung Galaxy J7 Sky Pro (S727VL); Samsung Galaxy J3 Luna Pro (S327VL); LG Stylo 3 (L84VL); LG TREASURE LTE (L52VL); LG REBEL 3 LTE (L158VL). Aside from differences in price, technologically the smartphone are all similar. What I am wanting to know is: Among the choices I have, which of these smartphones are best (read easiest, although the process of gaining root access seems to be anything BUT easy) in terms of gaining root access?

I thank those responding to my post and sharing their wisdom in advance!

No. I did noit have TWRP installed on my G5. When I attempted to do so, TWRP informed me I needed root access to install it. Is it possible that there is more than one version of TWRP available in the Google Play store OR perhaps I should have downloaded it from an alternate source. In any case I don't think the G5 is recoverable. If I am wrong (and as limited as my knowledge is this could esily be true) please let me know!

But going forward, one of the first apps that I shall install on a new smartphone will be TWRP.
