[General Questions and Answers] ASMAteMe:
Okay well before I go any further, I will let you guys know I highly enjoy gaming! I will mainly be using my device in my free time to probably games like Criticial Strike etc.. I occasionally play Words with Friends etc but due to the fact I have a 64GB iPad jailbroken device I feel as if my iDevice crave is fixed for the time being..

I have always been an avid Android fan since the original Droid was released from Motorolla with Verizon. I owned one, rooted it, did all the stuff that I thought made it more personal etc.. I just enjoyed it..

2 years later, I finally have had enough with Verizon and made the move to Sprint.. I purchased the Evo 4G a few days after its initial release and loved it. Again, it was rooted and had Fresh Rom installed along with being OCd..

Sadly not long after newer devices emerged.. T Mobile had the first Tegra dual core device, which made me feel as if my initial $300 investment was thrown out the window..

Ive finally decided I will go back to Sprint.. My girlfriend has AT&T and personally owns the new Tegra 3 Quad Core One X device.. I like it however when playing FPS games like Criticial Strike I notice the screen isnt as easy to navigate when aiming etc as opposed to say my iPad 2 in terms of smoothness.. It seems as if it lacks the ability to glide your fingers across the screen for smooth aiming etc..

I have noticed there are absolutely NO Tegra 3 Quad Core devices right now for Sprint.. This has me worried because I intend on getting something that will be fairly adequate for atleast the next year, hopefully 2, until I decide to upgrade..

Could anyone please help me with this?! I have heard that Qualcomms 28nm vs NVidias 40nm on there Tegra 3 is better.. I cant not say.. I have honestly not installed any Tegra 3 games on her One X and after the disapointment with the touch screen while attempting to play Criticial Strike made me give up rather fast..

Any phone junkies who would be able to assist me I would greatly appreciate it! I honestly would prefer to stick with Android due to the fact I have an iPad 2 but I will definantly be open to any opinions regarding performance etc as well! I also want to note I like tethering and with Sprints truly unlimited data makes it more suitable for my needs!

Thanks,

ASM

I have to say neither, always grab the latest out there (Note II).

But taking into serious considerations, both phones are gr8. I tried the iPhone 5 for the first time and it felt really gr8 to hold, very fast and light. Unfortunately, my personal feelings are the iOS operating is getting plain old, feels unchanged and less redefined and while it has some apps that are much better than android, it feels a lot of the same apple products from the past years.

The S3 that my brother has, tried it and liked it alot, screen is enormous and looks very crisp. Can almost say its just as fast as the iPhone. I believe once my bro gets JB, it could beat the iPhone 5 in speed and power. It's also nice to hold in the hand despite its large size.

I'd say either phone is fine, but I prefer the S3 because u can customize it better w/ widgets and ROMS, and it has a bigger screen w/ removable battery. the iPhone 5 refresh isn't as big as I would have thought, but its more simple if you used 1 before.

I have a little question for you guys. I have the option of choosing between a Samsung Ace 2 and a HTC Desire X or a phone with a similar price tag (as of now the Xperia P seems to be MIA where I live). Considering I will be mostly using my phone for reading news, writing and reading emails, music, a bit of browsing and the occasional game, which one would suit me more? AFAIK the Desire X has the better screen, faster processor, bigger battery while staying thinner. Meanwhile, the Ace 2 has a betetr Camera, faster internet speed (does it really matter that much?) and... yeah, that's it. Right now I'm closer to getting the Desire X, am I on the right track?

[General Questions and Answers] tiredofit:
Hi All, I'm riding my bicycle around the world and looking for some help from the XDA Pros.

I recently moved from an Iphone 4 to an HTC One X - I use the phone while I ride to listen to music all day long, brief internet usage either through EDge of 3g and Wifi if at all possible - not so much in Africa. While I'm not entirely happy with the Apple eco system I quite enjoy the Android - I'm having an issue though with feeling I made the wrong decision with the HTC One X. The battery isn't up t par and seems to drain quite regularly - nt good when on the road. I've combatted the power issue by being able to charge my electronics components while riding, but find the unit to have too much of a battery capacity forcing me to pedal harder and longer to get a charge, and drainin my external batteries to charge other components like speakers.

So - saying I want to stay with Android, what would be a good phone that you would recommend that has can run decent applications (GPS, basic text apps, the odd game, nothing major) and listen to music that a) charges quickly b) doesn't have a major battery drain like the One X?

Sort of an open ended question, but interested to hear your ideas.

Yes I have a laptop running windows 7 but it's not just mine sometimes my family members also use it.
[General Questions and Answers] cognus:
you have a tough situation. there are big threads around the web with people trying to figure this out but maybe with the other "need" criteria that they want it to be current... that is, a performer using some of the later tech.

I don't think you are going to get a combo wifi/3/4G device in this price range - at least not one you would want to keep.

can you get Lenovo A2107a-f or -h where you are? there are some pluses:

- here [states] its on your budget

- good, not great, specs

- there is fresh devel going on here and elsewhere for it.

- its still fairly new so we're just beginning to uncork it to see what it can do

- has sd card support

- good wifi. to me it is better than Nexus 7 - maybe better than Galaxy II or ipad Mini [both of which are not bad, but can dislike some wifi aps]

- screen is not high end, but bright, clear, easy on the eyes

- not 720p. Very hard to find one in your budget that can do 720p in 7/8" form factor

What size are you open to?

Must you have Cell support?

Must you game?

among the Chinese lower cost units, in 7/8 form, Teclast P85 or Yuandao Window N70 - but check the specs on the latter as there are several variants that go by the name. you want the RK3066-based - if normal TN display its a little under your max $; IPS is a little over.

If you just want dirt cheap but works and has a little bit of seller-support, lookup brainydeal.com [or via newegg or amazon] and pickup a AGPTek cortex A9 7" 1GB/4GB [or 1GB/8GB] jelly bean unit. the maker is little-known, not much devel, but I checked one out and its a solid if pedestrian machine. easily within budget - even the 512mb model is pretty good.

Hey, trading in my current iphone 3g (hopelessly outdated) at the weekend, my local cex has three phones I'm prepared to get, namely the nokia lumia 710, htc mozart and htc desire s. I'm reluctant to get the nokia due to the cutting down to micro sim, but if you think it's worth taking the risk then I will consider it. Don't suggest any other phones please as these are the only 3 that I am able to get hold of at the store.

[General Questions and Answers] last_nooby:
Hi folks, I need a monster phablet for my job, I don't have budget problem:

1) big screen, at least 7" better more

2) huge battery (I'm tour leader so I spend most of the day at open air (cities, mountains, seas..), at least 5/6000mha

3) IP68 (but if not I'd buy some rugged+scuba/dust proof case, no problem)

4) stereo speakers with Dolby et similar (or audio from screen if it's better), I need to show videos to my groups so I need quality and loud speakers

5) possibly 5G

6) top quality screen (I need it to show videos to my groups so, eg. very visible under the sun..) so HDR and similar, high refresh rate

7) very important: desktop mode and easy TV connection to have big screen for office, media tasks (eg. Gimp, video and audio editing..). I had big big problem with my Pixel 2XL because bigG force me to use Chromecast but I don't have WiFi at home and when I'm in hotels usually WiFi don't allow Chromecast connection (I mean, open WiFis but to insert Id and Pw on webpage. It's incompatible with Chromecast! I had to sell it due useless!!)

8) best Soc (I don't play videogames at all but, as I already written at n.7, I use it for my business too so I need enough Ram, super fast CPU for tasks like computer graphics eg. GIMP, etc..)

9) great camera (I need it because I take a lot of pics and videos to the groups of my tourists days and nights)

10) preferably 3,5mm Jack for wire earphones (I read Bluetooth audio can't reach yet top quality like audio jack)

Ultimately I need something like Mate 20 X but upgraded with added 5G module.

Following rumors I could consider:

- Samsung note 10+

- Huawei Mate 30 X

- Asus Rog 2

- Pixel 4 (project Ara?)

Something better, top? As already written no problem with money (1,2,3000€...)

Thank you

Well, you could wait for Iphone 11. Its coming out in mid september 2019. Iphone 11 max or something like that. They surely will add 5G, given that samsung has.

And for bluetooth headphones, i recommend skullcandy. Top of the line, very good sound quality
[General Questions and Answers] tsongming:
Yes IPhone 11, if you enjoy spending 3 times as much for a phone with a smaller battery, no ability to customize, no support after 3, 4 years, and exorbitant pricing should you not be under warranty.

I worked for Apple for 5 years. In addition, to everything that I just mentioned there are many additional things that I could tell you about how the y don't give a crap about stolen computers and phones, plus technicians aren't allowed to fix simple issues their job is to swap boards, and again if you aren't under warranty you will get heavily gouged on the price.

One plus 7 is awesome, reliable, is well supported and would be better economically.

Xiaomi like One Plus offers very similar quality at a lower price, plus they have gotten much better about updates, and even plan to change Miui to be more westernized. Plus many of their devices bought in the last two years will get Android Q.

[General Questions and Answers] RazaBlada:
Hello all!

I maybe got a odd question, even if it may make total sense to some, and here goes the question:

I sadly got a Huawei P20 at the moment, and it's really locked down nowadays, thought Huawei would had a blooming community, with easy unlocking of bootloader, but I couldn't had been more wrong.

And even if I can use the test point to bypass unlocking of bootloader temporary, I still can't see me owning this phone, it's bull****, no developers behind it nearly, and it's just DoA for me seen in that way.

So I wonder, I want to role with Lineage OS, and feel that I own my phone, not a Chinese government owning me.

So I wonder, what do you think that I can change to that are easy to unlock the bootloader of, and that supports the lineage OS, and that are popular around here, that I can trade fare and square for my Huawei P20? Seems like the brands Samsung, Xiaomi and Oneplus are popular when looking at devices in the lineage OS wiki at least.

So I've been looking some at Oneplus 3T as a example, since it seems to be a interesting device, even if I truly want some guidance in this errand, surprise me with options and experiences if you want.

What I would prefer: minimum 3GB of RAM.

a big screen, around 6" or in that area.

And which have around 3000-4000 mAh battery.

What phone to replace OnePlus 3T?

I've been the happy owner of a OnePlus 3T 64GB for the past 2.5 years. Unfortunately last week the display of my 3T cracked (although still functional for now). My company will not pay for repair, but will reimburse up to the equivalent of USD 350 for a new phone every 2 years. As such I guess it's time for a new phone. Question is, which one?

I mostly use my phone for basic things; browsing, navigation, email & messaging, Facebook, occasional music and videos (Plex, VLC, streaming to ChromeCast), occasional photo's and video recording, ...

Requirements:

* Dual SIM (main reason for replacing my previous Moto X 2014 with Honor 5X before moving to OnePlus 3T, other than that I liked the Moto X as well)

* Fairly clean Android experience, little/no bloatware (I like the OnePlus experience much better than my earlier Samsung S2 & S4 Mini)

* Good performance (since the upgrade to OxygenOS 9.0.4, it seems like my 3T is sometimes lagging just a little bit)

* Decent battery life & fast charging

* Frequent Android updates/upgrades (my experience with OnePlus is much better than earlier Samsung phones)

* Unlockable bootloader and active custom ROM community would be good (with the 3T I've never felt the need to install a custom ROM, but it's good to have an alternative if needed, for example if the manufacturer stops providing updates)

* Easy to fit into your pocket; not too big and not too heavy

* 128GB or more storage

* Preferably 3.5 audio jack

* No Huawei due to uncertain future given USA trade restrictions

* Price around EUR 350 to 500 (give or take a couple of euro's)

* Available in The Netherlands through local (web) shops, amazon.de, or manufacturer web shop

Preferably I would like to stick with OnePlus, but I think the OnePlus 7 (Pro) or even 6/6T don't meet my requirements; too expensive, no audio jack, and probably much larger and heavier than the 3T. The main advantage for me would probably just be the much better camera on the 7 (Pro). The OnePlus 5/5T seems to meet my requirements much better, with prices around EUR 380 for OnePlus 5 128GB, or EUR 480 for 5T on amazon.de, but I'm a bit worried about Android upgrades as this is already a slightly older model.

Are there any other brands/phones that I should look into that meet my requirements but are more recent than the OnePlus 5/5T? Any major pro's or con's or other remarks with regards to buying the 5T?

Thanks,

Ruud
[General Questions and Answers] phaleg:
I would go with Pocophone 128/6 … It fits all your needs but the pocket size, which I cannot guarantee, because it fits in mine, but pocket size could be different.

(I just got it and I feel great with it)
[General Questions and Answers] rsenden:
Thanks for the suggestion. I've had a look and it certainly looks interesting. It does have some drawbacks though:

* No NFC. I forgot to list this in my requirements; I don't use NFC that often but don't want to lose it in case I ever need it.

* Most of my recent phones had AMOLED displays, so I'm hesitant to move to a different display type.

* I don't know how good this brand is with regards to software updates and upgrades.

In the end I decided to stay with OnePlus and purchased a OnePlus 6 128GB; the last model with a headphone jack and I'm assuming this will receive the same updates/upgrades as the 6T.

Thanks,

Ruud

Hello, currently i use Tp-Link Neffos C5, same as all phones before, after 2 years of use buttons work 1/3 times, battery is nearly dead and it never was the fastest phone in the first place.

I'm looking for something cheap but as powerful as possible. I don't care about the company, or the bloat wear but i definitely want it to be some popular model with strong lineage OS support. It's fine if unlocking it is bit more complicated than usual as long as it's possible. Im fine with something bulkier/ heavier for the sake of big battery. Don't care much about camera, speakers or nfc. Wireless charging would be nice but I'm not counting on that. As for the screen FullHD is fine.

Last time is used xda was in my htc desire hd days, nice to be back :)

Hello, my current phone is a CID 15 S5 G900V which means it's a Verizon model with unlockable bootloader. I run custom everything like most on here.

My problem is not only is my screen cracked but my aftermarket extended battery is almost shot (about 2 years old). This was a local trade in and I only paid 140 for a 1 year old S5.

I need a new phone or a new to me phone.

I'm also low on funds. I'm with Verizon because where I live they roam with data on their extended network (regional carrier Appalachian wireless). That being said prepaid won't work because you don't get to use the extended network.

Right now I could try to get a phone from Verizon like the a50 or g7. Or save up and get another like new used phone with unlocked bootloader.

My S5. S3, and Droid X were all rooted with custom ROMs and other bits.

I'd like to get a phone with a 6in+ screen and have it work on any network because I may leave big red. I'd like a removable battery, SD card, fingerprint reader, and IR blaster.

I'll probably have to do without a removable battery and IR blaster but need the big screen and SD card. I'd like my next phone to take better low light photos. I prefer AMOLED too. That's why I'm looking at a50 but the dev community might not last as long as the S3 or S5. Or be non existent. I'm not a gamer. But use everything else.

One other option is getting away from smart phones and going back to a dumb phone so I'm not reading news and stuff all the time. And not flashing ROMs all the time.

So I'm torn between what I should do.

Thanks for your help. I'd like to switch to ting which uses Sprint and T-Mobile. Sprint supposedly has extended coverage here too but requires a Sprint phone from what I've read.

I know this is a tough one. But I appreciate your advice. I don't keeps up with the latest and greatest.

One last thing. I've moved away from Google and use microg with nextcloud.

Edit. I'm sorry this is so long but it's better to have too much info than too little.

There is a deal on Lenovo Z6 lite for 170€, it has snapdragon 710 over 660 from note 7 but there is a catch - so far no development on xda. Anyone has experience with lenovo's "zui"? And do you think there is any hope for lineage os in the future?

Or is any chance that Xiaomi will release any Mi A3 Pro with better parameters?
