>>107436019Pixel 6a took a fall, need a new phone. Currently between Moto G Power, Moto G Stylus,both of which have SD + 3.5 jack but I could live without them. Really just looking for a budget banger. If anyone has alternate recommendations that would be appreciated.
Reminder that all phones have irremovable internal storage that is subjected to wear and tear from normal usage overtime that cannot be fixed.

Why mutts are so care about bubbles color?I mean facetime was blocked in my country and no one cares. No one was using it.
>>107438536I've seen this image posted for years now, but I've never said anythingwhy is his mouth drawn like a horse butt hole?
>>107439957Here's the reason.
My 1TB RM11 Pro is arriving today finally!!
>>107438014G Stylus is better just in case that you want to flash LineageOS in the future because it uses snapdragon chip.Half of Moto G phones use Mediatek chip that don't support custom ROM.
>>107440424I was thinking of getting red magic 10 air. Are these phones worth the price? I don't play mobile games but I'm interested in emulators.
Retard here, is USB3 thunderbolt faster than uploading with wifi?I know Lightning is USB 2 which is slow or something but isn't transferring stuff via wifi pretty fast?
I have Orion browser on my iPhone with ublock and violent monkey with 4chan xt + stylechan. The gallery mode is kinda fucked compared to KurobaEx but most of the stuff works.Youtube and youtube music work on Orion pretty well too but not as good as Revanced.
>>107440766Theoretically, WiFi 7 is significantly faster than USB 3.2.While USB 3.2 relies on physical cables, the theoretical maximum throughput of WiFi 7 is more than double that of the fastest USB 3.2 configuration.
Hey lads, I just upgraded to an S25 from an old Note 9.I used Nova Launcher with an icon pack called Voxel to make all my icons squares (like, sharp 90-degree corners on the icons) on my Note 9. Does anything like this exist on modern androids?And is nova launcher still the go-to customizer or is good lock the new best one?
>>107440827Huh, that's interesting. Thanks for the info.Aren't the complaints about iPhones needing USB C pretty dumb since applefags just use wifi to upload/backup anyway?
>>107440424How much did you get it for?
>>107440600Yes, they are. If you don't care about cameras then it's great value. I've seen people emulate GoW on it and it runs well. The 24GB RAM helps a lot.>>107441168I paid €969 including VAT. No shipping costs.
Anyone else have a pixel 10 pro? This fucking phone can't play games at all.
The Red Magic 11 Pro 24gb ram with 1Tb storage in black will go along well with my iPhone 17 Pro Max, Pixel 10 Pro XL and sorry to my Galaxy S25 Ultra, but I'll be giving you away for free to my cousin once the RM11 arrives. >>107441769Which GoW though? No offense cause ps2 emulation isn't a big deal.

I broke my S23u and am looking at the Poco F8 ultra but I've heard 3rd party launchers don't work well with the OS. Can anyone confirm this? I use Nova right now because it has app icon swipe gestures and it's my most used feature in my daily usage.

>>107448510I don't care about gesture control. I always use the nav bar. I'm talking about setting app icon swipe actions, swiping up/down on an app to open another one. It's a feature of Nova and other launchers, are those actions also disabled in HyperOS?

It's an impulse buy, but I think I'm going to splurge on an iPhone 16e. Best Buy has $70 off.I'd had an iPhone SE 2nd gen for just over five years, bought it Nov 2020. It works fine but it seems a little slower now, lasts a day, and is pretty small.

Do people bother ricing their phones these days? I just got a S25 Ultra but I can't really find many riced examples out there.
I need to buy a refurbished phones hopefully some stores has some Pixel 3 or any Pixel phones that suits to my budget.
>>107452671is this shit easy to DIY fix? ive done battery changes on my iphone 6s but thats easy, i just did one a few months ago. I guess my iphone 6s is back for another round of service.

I noticed my phone's battery was draining much faster than usual. I checked the usage, and I see this. Wat do?
>>107449706I can count the number of people on one hand that I've met who use antivirus on mobile phones.In general, Play Protect is good enough but you'll still need to be careful with shady apps, especially if you're gonna side load "cracked" apks. Firewalls are good for denying network access to specific apps, and using a modern web browser with ad block will protect you against a lot of annoyances. TLDR just use common sense.>>107452706Not really. You'll find a few holdouts in the home screen threads (probably a good place to ask) but in general Android development has kind of shifted away from ricing for whatever reason. >>107450060I don't know what equipment you plan on using with your phone, but for IEMs you can actually buy USB-C to 2-Pin cables that will greatly expand your options with phones.
>>107452671An old Android that's cheap is all you need. There is no point in caring about smartphones.
I'm impressed, I've had my phone for five years in the same case and don't even have a scratch on it.
>>107446805>jollaI've preordered :-) I really like the tech specs they are sensible from my point of view. A few years back I'd have been one of the persons complaining about the missing headphone jack, however since then the true wireless headphones became a mass product which are available for 20 bucks and I own several cheap pairs myself. If there's ever the need for 3,5mm connectivity the usb-c to 3,5mm adapters are readily available as well.I don't really mind the MediaTek chip either, I've owner phones with MediaTek chips and they worked as expected. On the phones without MediaTek processors I've always missed the scheduled power off/on feature which they offer.I'm really looking forward to this device.

Still dumb.You literally cannot shoot ProRes RAW footage onto the internal storage. You need a fast external SSD. Even if you have a 1TB iPhone, you max out on 4K 30FPS, while 60/120FPS and RAW require external storage. It's incredibly niche but a limitation of the Air and Base 17 models.

Conversely, if the decision makers at Apple saw the need for a directional change, why wasn’t Dye pushed out?>The answer, I think, is that the decision to elevate Lemay wasn’t about direction, but loyalty. Why risk putting in a Dye-aligned replacement when that person might immediately get poached too?

>>107464267okay, but why would i do that? graphene is a meme. plus the 8 has the hideous hole punch and no noticeable performance improvement. so explain what makes it better, just because it's newer? because that would be retard's logic
>>107464284>Is retarded>will rather use a rom maintained by jeets vs a properly maintained rom that has more security than stock android while being degoogled.But hey you can cope by saying you're white while being spiritually a jeet
>>107464298lineage potentially being more maintained by jeets (source?) means nothing when maintainers aren't the authors of virtually any % of the system you end up running. also lineage by default comes without gapps. you're just trolling now
>>107464329It's okay to admit you can't afford a new phone when there are better romsI'm done talking to white trash so you're dismissed
>>107464337kek
>>107460960either get the 1 vi or skip the 1 vii since because nobody is sure they fixed the defect with it or not other than that it's a good phone and the reason for reduced battery life is the 8 elite chip
>>107464337oh my god take your meds apple shill
>poorfags cant afford apple
>>107464472I'm advocating for a modern pixel with better rom support.
>>107464143I prefer knowing a thief has a paperweight or at best sell it for parts. Not that a thief would want your old Pixel lol. https://youtu.be/y_tpo4wPBfk

>>107464635>Samsung phones get stolen and then handed BACK!Wasn't there a PennyArcade comic like this about someone stealing a handheld and giving it back after seeing it's a PSP?
>>107464635>2019 is too outdatedatp i refuse to believe you people are reali really don't want to think people can be that out of touch but /g/ teaches me every day that people might actually just be that retarded, consoomer brains scare me
>>107464762Yes, an abandoned budget phone from 6 years ago with a anemic Snapdragon 670 (10 nanometer process), 4GB RAM (on Android!) and a smaller battery than my iPhone Air is insufficient for my needs. You touch your phone how many times per day, yet you cheap out on it... why? Extreme poverty?
>>107464817because it feels as good to use as any modern phone i've ever used? you are tech illiterate if you truly think you need better specs for a phone, but go ahead and "upgrade" to whatever slop they feed you with the placebo of thinking it has any meaningful improvement over last year's
>>107464860Well don't use a good phone or you might get discerning taste and not be able to tolerate 2019 slop lmao
>>107464860Bitch shut the fuck up Those specs were ass even back then
>>107464860I have few vices, and I enjoy technology. So I indulge and get a new phone every year. Who made you the gatekeeper of what and how I decide to make purchases?
>>107464876>>107464879genuinely what the fuck are you guys trying to run on your phones? if you say games you're probably not old enough to use this site, and if you say browsing websites and watching videos then you're splitting hairs (every once in a while it runs at 59 fps and not 60!!!)
>>107464893buy whatever you want i don't give a fuck

>>107436019LineageOS + MicroG now supports pixel 9a, pretty stoked
>>107465048It's worth getting an old pixel for the unlocked bootloader, variety of custom roms that are supported.
My mom is giving me her old iphone. Now I've never had an iphone before but it appears that KDE connect and Syncthing are severely gimped on ios. Notably KDE connect won't be able to sync notifications at all, and neither are able to run in the background so they'd be nigh useless anyway.Anyway I'm looking into workarounds for this. There's bluebubbles that can run on a mac VM to provide imessage, maybe there's something similar out there for notification syncing?
>>107465048you can use revanced to do this on any modern phone

>>107462636>>107463360OK i tried it...looks like qksms hasn't been updated for about 6 years so i installed its continuation, QUIK SMShttps://github.com/octoshrimpy/quikunfortunately it seems without RCS support it just loses all the identity info about who sent what text in my group text history, making them pretty much unusable. and apparently google has a monopoly on RCS in the us to the point where nobody else can even try to make an RCS app without working together with google, it's not just a question of nobody putting in the workand to give me double aids, google's message app doesn't even let me LOOK at the group messages (or anything else) without first setting it as the default sms app every time I open iti hate tech companies
I don't want all this AI trash in my phone. I would honestly be perfectly happy if I still had my LG G6 but a bunch of shit is intentionally broken on it now because it's not supported anymore.
>>107464491Not sure how, I just traded in my 14 pro for a 17 pro. They're free.
Is there anyone here who actually knows how to repair phones or do you guys only purchase phones?i was trying to find a way to remove tiny glass shards from the edge of my screen in order to replace my screen properly in a OnePlus 11, is there any trick to getting properly rid of any glass shards? i removed the cracked screen but tiny glass shards remain
>>107459332to power off the phone every evening and turn it on in the morning automatically to save battery and reduce charge cycles.
>>107466747Why not just put it on the charger overnight like a normal person?
Is it illegal to change your IMEI in Europe? I found a Note 20 demo unit (actual demo unit, it's written on the back in very small print) on eBay for dirt cheap and I was wondering if I could get it and change the IMEI myself, I want to gift it to my little cousin for Christmas because she's stuck on some shitty free carrier phone that lags like shit when you try to play TCG Pocket. How hard is it anyway?
>>107466763nta but because charge cycles are more precious than you think
>>107464282TOP LEFT BUSTA
>>107460606so does my nubia, the camera app's most recent photo shortcut only works with jewgle photos
bought a 6 months old 256gb z fold 6 with 130 battery cycles for 635€, was it a good buy? there's a 512gb one on auction for 500 right now but there's a week left and it has over 2.5 times the amount of battery cycles, given how expensive replacing the batteries can be i don't feel too bad about getting mine (though i'd have preferred that blue one over the silver i got but it's not like i won't immediately slap a case on it anyway)with that said, aren't 130 cycles a lot in just 6 months?it took me a little over a year to reach 106 on my ipad pro and i use it really heavily
>>107466564fwiw i really miss my lg g pro
>>107468085I had the original G
>>107446805And you can install android apps
How did OnePlus do it?
>>107468389LoL Android Authority testing confirmed the OnePlus 13 SOC is better >>107450773
>>107466564just delete the annoying gemini package
>>107466889i don't think it's illegal, the only hard part about it is finding a legit imei changing service
>>107468623let's say I change it to her current phone's IMEI and she never uses it again, would that trigger some alarm?
>>107468389>>107468489Kek worse performance and worse thermals. OnePlus sure did it. They fucked everything up
>>107468703Lmaooooooooooooooo
activated my iPhone Pro 17 yesterdayi like it, its nice, but a little thick and heavy for my taste (coming from a 13 mini)i can still return it until 87th or 8th or something in january, ill use it and take some pics etc, if the camera is just a MUST HAVE then ill keep it otherwise i might get the AIR or even normal one instead.dont get my wrong, i really do like it, but i wonder if the extra performance and kamera isnt lost on me considering im not sure how often i will use itanyone here with an air/17 pro who has something to say about the phone?
>>107468934The iPhone 17 Pro models have 3 camera lens bro I think you got scammed
>>107469030i dont have a pic of it, this is just a pic i found on my notebook when i searched for "iphone"
my e-m5 mk2 still takes better pics than any 200mp smartphone
>>107468692i don't know, i think to change the imei you have to get the same phone but with another imei you can't just grab the imei of whatever phone you have, but i am not sure this is just a speculation
>>107468692>>107469431and more thing to add to my post, pray that changing the imei doesn't require rooting because if it does the phone will trigger the efuse and most samsung services (samsung pay, knox....etc) will stop working since samsung is very anal about bootloader unlocking
>>107468703>>107468879What's even funnier is the results of the red magic 11 pro and the iPhone 17 pro max both running the same game natively. >>107446680
Review of Xiaomi 15 ahhemFucking great size. Can be used one handed if you have tiny thumbs like me. Battery life is fucking nuts. Better than my iPhone 16 Pro max by far. The new battery tech that made them able to fit a 5200mah battery into this small ass phone is nuts. Hyperos doesnt have much miui feel left in it. Actually feels kinda good now. Camera is just crazy too and has 60x zoom. How the fuck this isnt the phone of the year it beyond me. It doesnt get as hot as the iPhone either when playing the same game. I am sold. Cant go back to applel now as their best phones cant even compete with this one that costs half the price. I aint missing shit. In fact I can now play gayms with winlator. Currently getting through miside and it runs perfect. This is next level shit
>>107470813that winlator and termux stuff are what makes me feel like i am actually using a linux based phone, i dare apple to port rosetta 2 to ios or allow dex like desktop experience using displayout, they won't
Linux was first installed and ran successfully on a iPhone and iPad back in 2020.
>>107468934Got the Air cheap though my carrier, it was neat, but the poor battery life made me sell it. The standard 17 has it all, is slim enough, light enough, screen is slightly bigger than the 13 pro I had come from before upgrading. I can't think of anything I'd need the extra weight and "performance" of the pro for.
>>107471109using an exploit + it was unusable and experimental
>>107471201Ohhhh boo hoo it still worked and linux on a phone or dex on a phone is a meme bro.
>>107471214kek
>>107464617/g/ don't need AIslop and the minimal choice for GrapheneOS would be Pixel 7/8 anyway
I'm looking for a gift for a relative, is the Poco F8 Pro overkill if they don't play games? I want something that won't start struggling in 2 years because of a shit SoC, and I can get one for fairly cheap right now.
>>107470813>Xiaomi 15With that price I prefer an iphone.
>>107468934I have the Air, it's a great phone. I do miss the telephoto camera sometimes, it has a max of 2X zoom accomplished by cropping the full sensor. Which is all right but no replacement for a proper telephoto lens. The lack of an ultrawide camera doesn't bother me one bit. If thick and heavy are your concerns then absolutely consider the Air. It is thin and light which makes it very easy to handle. Not quite always one handed like a Mini, but very comfortable and mostly one handable. I frequently do a double take and think I have forgot my phone because it feels so tiny in my pocket. Couple other caveats vs the Pro models:>USB 2 port with no video output iirc>no ProRes Raw with external storage>>107469043That's the iPhone Air, not Pro/Pro Max or regular 17. Again, great phone if you understand the compromises. >>107471126>he sold it before adaptive battery life kicked inWait a week or two. I don't use the full battery every day and got 7h SoT a couple days ago using 77% of the battery.
>>107446396My 1st gen SE lasts over a week.
WHAT THE FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKi intended to keep my mi 9t pro forever but the glue keeping the screen in place is no longer potent enough.what sort of glue do phone brands use?
>>107471737>a phone lasting a weekIn a drawer on Airplane Mode? Sure. With active use several hours a day? Not so much.
>>107471547how cheap and where? SoC is only relevant for emulation and changing ROM.
>>107471843HAHAHAHAHACheap phone are funny!
>>107471843>>107471907>mfw cheap phone are funneh
>>107471584Xiaomi 15 is 650 euros. 16 Pro max is almost 1500 euros. I am talking 512gb for both variants. The iPhone also only has 8gb ram so its limited for certain things
why does Xiaomi have so many different subcompanies or whatever they're called?poco, redmi, xiaomi, mi, and so on.
>>107472002the 512gb version costs more than 650 euros.
>>107472025idk
>>107471737I'm charging my second gen SE maybe twice a day. I get weekly notifications that I use it two and a half hours a day, which is up from about an hour a day from four or five months ago. It is five years old too.
>>107472044It doesnt where i live. Only in regular stores. Theres always these 3 small online stores that are always way cheaper than all the rest
>>107471888350€, on the official website.
>>107472230xiaomi's website doesn't sell poco phones, they redirect to aliexpress, where it's listed as $614/527 euros.
>>107471843t7000 if black, t8000 if transparentit's quite cheap thankfully but it takes a good 3 days to fully set
>>107471843Consider that it may be the battery swelling with age. Does the screen sit flat without resistance if you push it down or does it flex the glass? Things can happen but the screen adhesives failing is less likely than your battery bloating. B-7000 is probably what you want. That's what phone repair suppliers carry. There's other variants like T-7000 or E-6000. I couldnt tell you the difference but you want something that softens with heat so you can fix it in the future if needed; super glue isnt a good idea.
>>107472252I don't know where you're from but they absolutely do, in Europe.
>>107472262I think the surface is flat. I keep my phone in rooms with high temperature. Could that cause the glue to get weaker?
>>107472293why do you lie? are you a jeet?https://www.mi.com/be-nl/event/poco-f8-firstsale/#182566>€519,99

>>107471876>phone>active use several hours a dayAre you crazy? I see no point in "actively using a phone" aside from texting and calling. 15-30 minutes/day is more than enough time to spend on a phone.
>>107472338then it doesn't matter which phone you have
>>107472338You don't use your pocket computer? Why are you on /g/?>pshh a computer? I don't see a reason to use that more than 10 minutes a day for emails to my grandkids
>>107472318So, they do sell them.>€519,99I'm not saying it's the same price everywhere, coupons and offers vary per country, but I can get one for 350€ here. Why does it even matter? I'm just looking for a great all-rounder smartphone.
are custom ROMs for samsungs still a thing? can you flash them without tripping knox at all or is it a lost cause?
>>107471547Just make sure to debloat it.
>>107472395of course, you, a retard, is a redditor.
>>107472445>>107472445>>107472445
>>107472404Custom ROMs are generally no longer a thing outside of Pixels and Fairphones.
>>107472406And also disable ads.
>>107472406>>107472472I don't remember any bloatware on my Xiaomi besides the usual Google apps, but I definitely will.
>>107472447See: >>107449593
>>107472546Their Poco model phones notoriously got lots of bloatwares and ads in their personal mi apps. Google around and you'll be able to resolve them. I know I had to debloat and disable the ads after buying my X7 Pro.
Any guides on unjewing your phone as much as possible? I have to get a new phone since my old one finally kicked the bucket and I want to start it off on the right foot.
>>107472625avoid american (nokie included), korean and jap brands, they give your data to jews for free.chink brands sell your data to jews.
>>107472625buy a pixel and flash grapheneOS on it. assuming you're not using a cucked bank which blocks installs on custom ROMs.
>>107472625lmodroid + microg apex + aurora store and you cut down surveillance by a lotlmodroid is built for any currently supported lineage phone and installs the same
>>107472625you can't. you can install a privacy larper rom and pretend it does something but the truth is that phones have 100x the jew-mandated backdoors as even (((intelaviv))) cpus
>>107472338I've almost paid off my phone using apps. It sucks now because my state is banning gambling apps that use "sweepstakes coins" by the end of the year.
>>107472897tell me more. i'm a NEET and need this.
>>107473016Walking apps like Noom, Sweatcoin, and WeWard. They can take a while to make a few dollars, especially if you don't walk much.Receipt apps like Ibotta.I got $60 from Crown Coin Casino after a few months of checking in and spending the free coins. You need a bank account and proof of it though. It might not be available in some states.
