nerdrum posted:Yeah, I think this thread especially treats any rom user as a 15 year old script kiddie using a live wallpaper of the matrix green text and has a hax the gibson button or some poo poo. I can safely say people like Cleanrom, Kang and even Cyanogenmod do a better job at updates, stability, user friendliness and overall polish than any of the horrible poo poo put on an LG, Xiaomi, huawei, or basically any single other android vendor that isn't HTC/Google. Yeah, it was Xiaomi. It's a Chinese phone, it would be stupid to assume that the default ROM wouldn't have built-in backdoors. As far as know no westerner was affected, but until I got mine flashed I made sure to install safe keyboards and password managers.

Zorak of Michigan posted:I went from an M8 to an HTC Ten. It's... OK. I'd have been happier if they'd left the design exactly the same, including the screen, and just given me the latest CPU. The screen is nice, the thumbprint reader works well enough, but I miss the stereo speakers and having the headphone hack on the bottom. I can't really say if the camera is any better since I hardly ever use it. Do they still come with that awesome protective cover that the m8 did?

Some Samsung TVs are decent, many are overpriced. The main problem with Samsung TVs is really the same as their phones. They throw every feature at the wall to see what sticks but gently caress up basic things like sourcing a consistent type of LCD panel within the same model. Seriously, some of their models use both IPS and VA panels which have very different display characteristics. You have to take every Samsung TV review with a gigantic grain of salt because the TV you buy may be nothing like the reviewer's even if it's the same model.

I have a Samsung 4k smart tv. It was very cheap considering its feature set and the picture quality is outstanding. I wish it ran Android instead of Tizen though.

If you want a grown-up size TV, it's going to have a Smart UI. No one's saying you have to use it. Shocker, I know. My plasma  is still very needs suiting. Never need the Smart features because my PS4 already does that.

Nah, I have a big good LG 1080p dumb TV (I don't need or want 4k) and it's great, they're around and relatively common here still. It was pretty cheap and all I use on it is my Chromecast. I wouldn't even have the bandwidth to stream 4k either.

I bought an Anker one but you can probably just look at Amazon for what looks good to you and scroll down to Benson's review which will inevitably be there.

I was going to ask for other four figure devices that display ads to their purchasers, but I realized this is the Android thread where people pay for the privilege of being Google's product, so it's not a surprise the practice is being defended.

I got my replacement 5x. It came with a very short USB-A to USB-C cable. Is there a good case for these now? I originally bought the Diztronic but it had stained the back of my phone blue.

Nuclear War posted:I had a HTC one (m8) and absolutely loved it, and would be using it now if it hadn't been stolen. I came from a regular m8 to the nexus 5x, it seems comparable, benchmarks show it maybe 10% slower, but it runs great with android N. The htc one m8 was just shy of $700 when I got it and a year later I got similar hardware (the 5x) for $220 (it can be had now for $180) Or wait for the new pixels made by htc.

With that said, I have the Pleson clear case and the official 5x case that Adopted makes. Both are really nice though I think the official case looks nicer, but it's also a little bit more bulky.

My Galaxy S6 has started randomly spamming the capacitive back button. At its worst, it's impossible to do anything on my phone. Googling tells me this is a hardware problem of some sort. Should I ditch it and look for something better or get a repair/replacement? I should be under warranty still but who knows. E:lol the timing on this post The Deleter fucked around with this message at 23:51 on Sep 29, 2016 |
