What phone do you own?

[Saiyan Lusitano]

Cheap Android phones.

1. Vodafone Smart 7 (5.1)
2. Alcatel One Touch Pixi 3 (4.2)

To take photos they are terrible but for that I just use a camera instead.

I also have a spare Samsung GT-S5839i which I want to upgrade to Android 4xx though I need to look into it.

The beautiful OnePlus 3T with 126 internal GB.

@Lucar Thats The Axon 7 Right?

Yep.

 

[Lemmingz]

I've got a Samsung S6, had it for ages now, not long until my upgrade

ok i am going to RMA the phone, but they will not guarantee e that i will get either my phone back or anew phone on MM which i am currently on now ,so i am hesitant do send it in
do yo know if it is possible to roll back to MM from 7.0 or 7.1 without having a backup?
i really want to root and install xposed ,but there is not xposed for N and probably will not be for a long time as i understand
i do not want to be stuck on N without xposed and also i have heard there are major issues with N on the 6p
or is it 7.1 only, i hear the phone dies when batter is reporting at like 60%
if can't back to MM maybe i am just better off with the battery issue the way it is and being on MM,
my warranty is just about up but they sad they will extend it for 3 month after they fix it,
i heard they will replace phones stuck in boot loops, so i guess worst case is they send me back the same phone on N, i break it put it in a bootloop send it back again get a brand new one and if it that one in not on MM,i sell it and buy another one on MM

Without a backup you'd likely have to flash the factory image and then restore app data after that with separate backups you've taken if you want to preserve everything.

Those issues are the same battery issue you seemed to have; I'm on 7.1.1 and everything is fine.

waiting for the RMA now sent it in a few days ago
no the issues i have with the battery on MM are different the battery just drains really quickly like at about a rate of 1% per minute, the issues i have been reading about with the battery after updating to N are that the battery will report it is still charged sometimes it will say 60% remaining and the phone will shut down, my battery reports that it is going down ,i can watch it drop from minute to minute ,the % goes down 1% per minute, it does not shut down when it is still reporting it has charge left though, that is what i understand the new issue is with N

Q.Q

But they're so cheap (like, 14.99 GBP) surely Brazil sells Android phones for low prices or do they cost too much there?

 

[Dr.Hacknik]

I own a Nexus 6 as of now; running Android 7.1.1 and OEM Unlocked. With Root. My first phone was a shitty LG Flip phone, then a Samsung one. After those phones, I got the Galaxy S3; which was amazing for the time. And I keep using it tell about late 2016. Then, I got my Nexus 6. Of course I could've gotten the 6P, or the Moto X. It's just that the 6 is more appealing to me. If you want a good Android phone, go for either the Nexus 6, Nexus 6P, or the Moto X. They're all great stock Android phones. I recommend OEM Unlocking them, and rooting them. As well as installing an Custom Recovery; IE TWRP. Just my suggestion.

~PS: I never liked iPhones, and I never will like those poorly supported, and weak trash-cans.

Most stores sell phones at a very high price just because they are branded

Huawei blamed Google's software even though it was reproducible regardless of version and no longer affected phones with the batteries replaced.

Got a broken s3 and fixed it a few years ago. Got a broken iphone 5s and fixed it up. Currently have a s7 that i fixed up. It's fun and much cheaper. I'll probably go to a non-samsung next time so I can have a proper stock android.

i hope that is the case , it is interesting but i have seen more than a few people on XDA say that it is N related and i also see people on XDA saying that one you update to N your phone will eventually get stuck in a fatal bootloop some people are saying that they updated from stock MM to stock N and then a few month go by and one day it bootloops and that it is almost inevitable this will happen on N updated 6p phones

 

[Erikku]

my 1st actual phone was a zte zmax (prepaid) then I got an iPhone SE which is wut I'm typing this on lol. before this, I've just had tablets

Have I ever mentioned how iPhones are overpriced pieces of garbage. Sure, iOS is relatively good. But, Android offers so much more, without a loss for performance. iOS is poorly optimized, and feels slow at times. Although, iOS's intuitive design language is rather simple. But, I'd rather take Android. Android offers so many features, and you don't have to suffer for not using them. For example, you don't have to use Widgets, or Google Now. Android (Google) doesn't force 1st party stuff in your face, and tells you to use it; with the same old bs "Use this service! It'll make your life soooooo much easier; but, you'll have to pay a small fee of 0.99$." Seriously; Apple as a company has turned into a bunch of quick cash grabbers. All they want is money; and honestly, Steve Jobs would be so disappointed with the company. Sure, Google can be the same; but not as much as Apple. Google offers freedom; you can think of Google as a Democracy or Capitalism, while Apple is Communism or Socialist. With Google, you can do what you want, without limits. With Apple, it's either "You use our service(s), or you won't have even the smallest sliver of freedom." Sorry if I'm ranting thus far; it just pisses me off. Apple was such a great company, and I fear they're going to crash and burn, and they won't be able to recover. But, Google allows ROOTing your device. They don't care, hell they even recommend or endorse it! Mostly for reasons of installing a Custom ROM, or updating to an OTA image. While Apple (The good ol' communists) want you to not do anything to modify your device. They try to patch Jail-breaking in every way possible. It's annoying, yet pointless. Jail-breaking is no different from ROOTing; all your doing is giving you elevated privileges. So you may install Custom themes, etc. But, with Android; you might not even need to root! You can install Custom Keyboards, and some ROM's support Themes. As well as Custom Launchers, IE Nova Launcher, etc, etc. Well, I'm gonna stop there. Otherwise, I don't hate Apple. But, their company is die'n. Slowly.

 

[Sharruken]

First was an LG Keybo (Which I would gladly go back to if at all possible)
Second was an HTC that I can't remember (Had a really odd shape to it)
Third was a Galaxy S4
Fourth was a Galaxy Alpha (Only got that so my mother could take the S4, I should have given her the Alpha though)
and as of 3 days ago, I have a Galaxy S5 Neo

they are bot pure cancer IMO and no google is communism it literally founded by 2 communist from the former USSR
and it shows in their minimalistic material design

IOS is clunky to use i hate having to quickly double tap the home button , of course my biggest issue with IOS is memory management
it does not free memory for shit , once the phone fills up you can't delete anything and just have it free up storage

i used to think apple phones were superior hardware wise till this whole touch disease issue surfaced
but besides that they are far superior HW wise all android phones are crap , poor build quality, poor features ,ugly design
google products.services are better than IOS but they are still horrible ,pure cancer that is totally unreliable and get worse and worse with each "update"
they are always breaking everything through updates ,the software gets worse and worse with each "update" not limited to android but all of googles products and services,google software and services are totally unreliable and changes are not announced ,poorly implemented or pointless at best and totally crippling at worst, we are all subject to the whim of the autists at google
at least apple has the decency to announce and explain changes before they roll them out
android OS is better in it's approach since lolipop
but i can think of 100 things i used to be able to do with google that i no longer can because the apps and services features and functionality have been either stripped out deliberately or just broken due to their ineptitude and of course this all comes with zero warning to users
google strips out all their hardware features and the android phone manufacturers strip out all of the hardware features like SD slots , front firing stereo speakers and IR blasters and headphone jacks
the whole industry is in the toilet as far as i am concerned
i hate all of these companies i hate not knowing what they are going to break next and when
it happens with amazon too , constantly using users as guinea pigs alexa changes all the time with no warning at all, this week her voice changed for the worse and i also noticed the voice recognition had taken major hit in accuracy as well
apple is the only one who does not force major software updates with no warning and gives proper key notes to announce their plans to it's users in advance , but IOS is awful to use because it can't free up memory and only has one physical button,no 3 onscreen buttons and no app drawer but funny enough chrome IOS has features android chrome does not have that are better

i just hate them both but i have to pick android hands down because of on screen buttons ,separate nav buttons for app switcher back and home, a file browser/manager , not ever having to deal with itunes cancer ,being able to actually delete video and photos and actually have the memory free back up , and an app drawer
which ironically enough the android autists are toying with the idea getting rid of

I'm not sure if you're trying to defend Apple, or bash upon Android. Android phones aren't crap; I love my Nexus 6. I've used iPhones before, and hated it. Ever since my Nexus 6, rooted, and running a Custom Recovery and theme; I've been in love since. It's performance with 7.1.1 is amazing, and never slows down. No matter how far I push it, it keeps going strong. Android Phones are far better than iPhones, but depends on your choice of a Android phones per say.

like i said i like android OS hands down over IOS and i listed the reasons but you are not going to find any android phone with a nice metal build like an iphone that is all i am saying , but like i saud this whole touch disease has cast a really bad light on apple hardware now
but it is not easy to find any android phone swith full features AND anice design and metal build, the 6p comes close i guess but is has no SD slot no IR blaster no OIS , the trend is to remove remove remove and it sucks
nexus removes miracast , removes SD slots , and pixel removes both of those and removes front firing stereo as well phones are getting more boring and stripped down , removing IR blasters SD slots, front facing speakers etc and not making nice metal builds

I don't really care for external storage; it's all a matter of opinion and needs. Although, the whole remove old parts thing, is well......horrible.
