[WTA] Should I buy this phone?

Should I? Any pros and cons? Does it have expandible storage? Any regret? Thanks in advance.

Edit: Forgot to add in, is the phone future proof?

Should I try to save my black screen nexus 4?

Hello people.

I need help to decide if I should try to save my nexus 4 or not. It has been dismantled for the past half a year and i recently got it to show signs of life after battling the steady red ring of death. (Was simple by the way, just used a wireless charger for a couple of minutes) But if I turn it on, it vibrates, the screen lights up and that is just about it. So i have no idea if the phone itself is functional. Some of you might tell me not to bother with such an old phone, hell, they aren't even sold anymore. But this phone has stuck by me through thick and thin, and has a sentimental value. I nearly jumped of joy when it showed signs of life after such a long time. I am not a rich man, so i need to manage my finances. Screen replacement would cost me 25 pounds, back housing would be another 10, but what if the phone is still not functional? Is there any way I can find out if I should take the gamble?

Some info -
I am not entirely sure if there is an OS currently installed on the device, as I was experimenting quite a bit before the battery run its coure.
I am also missing one of the connector things that are circled (there is one and a broken spot where another one should be) but i have no idea what it connects to. The little peg itself is safe and sound in my possession, if it can be welded back. It connects to whatever is under the power button on the back housing.



The screen is cracked in three places, but was working the last time I remember. But there have been many (and I mean many) dis and re assemblies since then.

I probably love this phone more than my friends and family. Just want my favourite piece of tech to be my companion again.

Should I upgrade, Note 2 to Note 4 - how is Android 6 on Note 4?

Hello,

Android 6 official / stock exists on Note 4 according to Sammobile Firmware section, does it work ok?
I have some important questions. (SORRY! <3<3♥)

Is the thumbscanner as good or kinda as good as the S6 one?
Does the thumbscanner work with Lastpass?
How many fingerprints can be registered on the thumbscanner, under Android 6 for Note 4?
Does the Note 4 have built in wireless charging mat, or do I need to buy another one, like my Note 2
How is the microphone on the Note 4 when used handsfree, mine is TERRIBLE on my Note 2.

Thanks
Anyone know of a comprehensive, Note 2 vs Note 4 guide?

Should I root?

So, I always been a root user with my former Nexus 4 and 5 and now that I have the Moto X 2014 I started search how to root but then I found that if I unlock my bootloader I'm gonna lose my warranty and there's no going back. Do you guys think that losing warranty is a big deal? I have almost 9 months left of warranty and I was wondering when you guys rooted your phones...

Should I still buy it in 2016?

I want to buy a phone and I have a budget of 160$. I have found a Droid Turbo online for around 158$ and I find it perfect for me because it has an okay camera, good hardware and a fine size. The seller claims it to be on KK and say that it is GSM unlocked and will work on Verizon also. Will it work on my carrier if I update it to MM in the future? If it locks the network, how can I unlock it again?

Thanks in advance ;)

Why Should I buy an extended warranty for mobile phone ?

Which root method should I use?

Hello all

I am looking to root my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro to get some more functionality out of Tasker.

Problem is, I don't know which of all the available root procedures to choose as there are so many different ones for different devices I am confused :eek:
I know my device has 3GB RAM.
Yesterday I received an OTA update to what I beleive is the latest official ROM as seen here (Qualcomm Global Stable ROM).
It's the MIUI Global 7.5.3.0 Stable.
Here's what the "About phone" says:



Which method should I choose to root my phone?
Not really interested in changing the rom in itself, it's just the root I'm interested in.

Any help?

Thanks in advance

So the phone wants to update. Should I?

I have an SM-G925V running 6.0.1 As it stands, there isn't a root for it under marshmallow. Since it seems fairly hopeless we'll ever get one under 6.01, should I accept the software update? Has there been any known issues with this update?

Cam Plus Module Problems - How Should it work?!

Hey guys,

I'm on my second Cam Plus module, and I have no idea how to make it work, or what I should expect.

I've attached it to my phone, and charged it for 5+ hours. During the first two hours I didn't see any LEDs on the Cam Plus. After two hours it started flashing red to indicate charging (I think?).

I've never had it change from red flashing LED.

The Cam Plus firmware update just shows the same "Connect a Cam Plus to check for Updates" message with the module attached. The LG Friends app sees the device and lists it as connected. I've not been able to get the module to do anything, or have any buttons work in the LG Camera app. Moving the bottom switch seems to not do anything.

Am I crazy here, or is this second unit defective? Am I just doing it wrong?

Thanks guys, any help is appreciated.

Should I root?

Hey I just bought an S7 edge and I am thinking of rooting it,but my 2 years warranty is going to be voided. The only root feature that I want to use is cooked features. So is worth avoiding my 2 years warranty? Tell me your opinion

Should I take the update

I have a sprint g5 and have been waiting for root since release, on previous devices, taking the update would often ruin chances of a root. From what I've heard the root method on the g5 will require a bootloader unlock. Would talking the update lower my chances of getting a root?

Is it completely bricked? What should I do?

So I bought this Huawei Mate 8 and to be honest I really loved it, it's the best phone atm imo. And it's pretty expensive in my currency. I've owned the phone for a couple of months now, 4 months I'd say. And just 12 hours ago, problems started.

It all started when I attempted to use the fingerprint scanner and my phone randomly restarted. Huh, I ignored it. But it happened again when I tried to open settings. It'd crash randomly on random actions. But it almost always crashed when I tried to open settings or use scanner. I removed my SD card and then it worked fine for a couple of hours, then it restarted again.

And sometimes it restarted many times over to the point where I'd think it's boot looping. But it'd eventually start. I reset the phone hoping it'd fix the problem if it's software related. But it always restarted right before I could enter my Google account to start the phone. But it reached it's eventual death. It crashed again but it didn't restart this time. I tried connecting it to its charger, but no response and no heat at all, not even in the charger's adapter. And my laptop didn't detect it at all.

What should I do now? This phone is new and expensive. I'm very careful with my devices and it's in a perfect condition. The only incident with it was when my selfie stick got too tight on the power button for like 10 seconds then I took it out. That was the same day the issue happened, so I'm not sure if it's just a coincidence. Anyways please tell me what I should do right now, and yes, the phone is still in warranty but I doubt they'd change it for me, their customer service is **** where I live.

Google should move up the release of the Nexus phones

Don't you think google should move up the release of the nexus phones? What's the point of releasing them around october? It puts the phone in a weird position, millions have already bought the new iphone refresh, it has not so top of the line specs anymore, since a couple of months later we the galaxy , LG and htc phones released , not to mention the new qualcomm chips.

August should be a good time, the iphone is not out still and most of the android manufacurters have already released their flagships, what do you think?

What custom ROM should I use on my G900F?

I've been installing custom ROMs on my G900F device for several times and I cannot decide which ROM should I use as my daily driver. I love vanilla android and Cyanogenmod 13 is the kind of ROM I've been looking for. But I just can't exactly decide if I should keep using it or what. So I keep switching ROMs such as:

• CM13
• Resurrection Remix
• SmallWiz v6.1 S7 ROM
• PureGoogle (This is one of the best ROMs I've used so far because of the Vanilla Android UI but the SD card can't be read and lockscreen does not work)
• Samperia (I also like this ROM because I find Xperia's UI really good, but again, SD card can't be read, too)

But I still go back to the original G900F firmware I downloaded from Sammobile, and then install a custom ROM again. I reached out to the developer of PureGoogle and Samperia for a fix but i was told to back-up my SD card files and format it in the ROM and then put the files back to the SD card. I have a 64GB card and it has 53GB of data stored in it. And you all know that it takes a lot of time just to transfer that large amount of data to a computer and then put it back to the SD card. I don't have a whole day to do this. And I know I may end up with a bricked phone but I just can't decide which is which. If you have a G900F device and you're using a Custom ROM, can you tell me the ROM you're using as your daily driver? A friendly and kind suggestion will greatly help.

Should I buy the 5x or the 6p?

Free upgrade to HTC 10 from M9. Should I do it?

Hello. I'm part of a small group of people that happen to quality for free upgrades from HTC directly (don't ask.. long story).

I had an M8 (it was my first HTC phone, fell in love with it). I got the M9 at a smoking price so I chose to jump to it. Little did I know I'd be able to get an HTC 10 for free later if I wanted.

So here's the deal. I root/s-off my phone (I use Verizon so this is non-trivial from what little reading I've done so far). I have my M8 still, so I'll use that while I send the 10 off to be s-off'd. Once I get it back I'll try the stock to see what its like, but then I'll likely switch to the ViperROM unless I am persuaded to try something else. I'm a fan of "using what works" as I'm getting past that stage of reflashing something new every week "just because I can".

So is the 10 worth the effort to upgrade? I don't have to upgrade. In fact, I can simply wait for something else from HTC. I can only get one upgrade, and once I do it I can't upgrade for 12 more months. So should I upgrade?

The reason I'm asking is because its quite a bit of work to do this (gotta mail the 10 to someone to get s-off, gonna have to do firmware upgrades, flash a new ROM, reload my apps, etc.). Is the 10 such a better phone that it's worth doing for free or should I wait? I really don't have any complaints with my M9. I don't use cameras on phones, and I work from home so my battery is almost always fully charged. But I do like having more power for games or whatever I feel like doing.

The only thing I can think of that I wish my phone had besides more processing power and more battery life (not that the M9 disappoints) was a slightly bigger screen (I envy the Note screens!) because I'm a big guy. I'm 6'3" and I have big sausage fingers, so small screens are hard to use.

Thanks!

Why should I buy Xperia X Performance?

I have been a big fan of Xperia Z series since the first Z. I changed my phone every time the new Z came out (except Z1 since I just started my career life without much savings).

Every time the new Z came out, I could find its awesomeness, imo, for example the first Z was stylish, waterproof, and powerful but it suffers a lot from heat,washed out display, and loosen waterproof charging caps. Then Z1 came out with more charming metal body, magnetic charging port, and 20 Mpixels camera, highest for a smartphone at the time.

Z2 came out as what the first Z should be at the first place with bigger and vivid screen, stereo speakers, and battery life is awesome to the point that I never found any others with this battery longevity at the time . For Z3, is almost identical to Z2 in term of spec sheet but I found it's very nice to hold in my hand plus the speaker is a lot better, far better than even Z5.

Z4 was very good on the spec sheet, especially with no more microusb cap but the battery life is a very big disappointment with almost half what Z3 lasts. It also suffers a lot of heat from normal uses. Z5 premium is, imo, the most refined Xperia with decent battery life, big screen, stylish material and colors selection.

Also, I don't know if it's me alone but every time I got the new Xperia on my hand, I felt really good and every single one of them was attractive.

Strangely, I can't explain but when I hold X/XP on on my hand, I didn't feel a thing, not even a glimpse of attractiveness although my country is offered 64GB/dual sims variant at the same price as Galaxy S7 (32GB/dual sims variant) with contract. I was never really into Samsung before (not because I hate it but I just neither found it attractive) but this time, I event think of waiting for Note7.

What are you guys' opinions? What are your before and after buying feelings toward X Performance?

Galaxy S7 should I worry about that ??

Recently I've been on holiday and had an small accident ( BTW I never try to test my phone water resistance capabilities or other stuff and my phone is allways in rugged incipio case ) so I have accidentaly splashed my phone with a vine ( to be accurate fruit vine which is called in my country "SANGRIA" its more of a juicy drink with litle alcoholl ) anyways, I splashed my phone and it wasn't all wet but there was a litle bit of water in the speaker grills (one drip) and I couldn't clean it out of there and it might got inside the speaker port but nowhere else and I have cleaned with wet towel rest of the phone from vine and it was 2 weeks ago and everything works fine without any problems and speaker is in perfect working condition. So my question is should I worry about vine ( non fresh water ) in my port?

Sorry for stupid question.
