To be fair, the Nexus 5's screen and battery are surprisingly easy to replace. The one I bought in early 2013 has been chugging along as my mom's phone since the battery and screen replacement actually had it feeling snappier than the free Huawei Y5 she got for renewing her contract with her carrier.Shibawanko posted:No, a 5, not a 5x. It still seems to work fine in terms of the processor and stuff. Are the replacement screens that get sold on ebay typically reliable and usable enough? Do you have an official LG service center where you live? If so, sourcing replacement parts from them could be an option. Otherwise, yeah, just grab OEM parts from eBay from highly-rated sellers. anakha fucked around with this message at 02:02 on Apr 28, 2018 |

Yeah, if your phone has a curved screen, glass screen protectors that fit even to the curves are very hard if not impossible to find. I gave up looking for one for my Nokia 7+ and just decided to try one of those liquid gimmicks. At least my screen now feels like my old Nexus 6p when the oleophobic coating was still new.

Yeah, I realized a few months ago that custom ringtones and notification sounds were pointless because I had my phone on vibrate 99% of the time.

At home, I'm either getting my notifications on my laptop, doing something where my phone's in my pocket/within reach, or am on Do Not Disturb mode. The 1% is when I'm in a noisy area and am waiting for an email or text.

Xiaomi and OnePlus, as pure hardware manufacturers with no involvement in telecoms like Huawei and ZTE, should be safe from this fallout right? Because if not, then Android is just gonna be Google or Samsung for the foreseeable future.

I've got an old dodocool USB-C charger that I got when I was still using a Nexus 6P. Will it do fast charging on a OP7/OP7 Pro?

Some interesting tidbits from this article on Q navigation gestures:quote:The most interesting tidbit to me is this: users actually prefer the ergonomics of the traditional three-button Android navigation that was in place for years before Google switched things up (on the Pixel at least) last year with Android P. The buttons get a rating of 5.78 in ergonomics versus 5.39 for the Android Q gestures...

Or if you're living with someone who's suspicious you might be cheating on him/her. I'm sure some upcoming romcom has that scene scripted out already.

mfny posted:These would be my options then ? Most of my family uses Xiaomi phones, so I can give some insight here. The Pocophone F1 is probably the cheapest phone with an SD845 out there, so specs-wise, you're getting some bang for the buck. Camera is decent but has no OIS. What can turn off some users is Xiaomi's MIUI OS, since it's a departure from how the UI on Pixel/Android One phones are. However, if you can get used to it, it does come with regular updates and Android 10 has been confirmed.

mfny posted:Cheapest price for the Xiaomi Poccophone F1 is £190 for B grade. And is indeed the only phone on my list with a 845. P20 is a Kirin 970.. no idea how that compares to the 845 ? the rest are lower tier Snapdragon's.. According to benchmarks, the Kirin 970 ranks about equal to the SD835 but below the SD845. The P20 would then be more comparable to the Pixel 2 in terms of benchmarks while the Poco's benchmarks would be more comparable to those on the Pixel 3. Ultimately, you're not likely going to see much difference performance-wise unless you're heavy into gaming. LineageOS is available for both devices, so you have flexibility to change ROMs later if you wish.

Seems like the Android One program does not necessarily guarantee faster, or two-years worth of, OS updates.

RE: Nexus chat: The Galaxy Nexus was my biggest phone purchase regret. poo poo battery, poo poo screen. The Nexus 5 has been used by myself, then my sister, then my mother, with only a battery replacement required. The most comfortable phone I've used. My 6p is still working perfectly after I had the battery replaced at the authorized service center last year. If it wasn't for the 3GB RAM, I'd probably be happily using it to this day. Still my favorite phone to date. The Nokia 7+ I got in 2018 was ok, but was definitely a step down from the 6P. Biggest disappointment was that Nokia refused to allow its bootloader to be unlocked. My current OP7T is pretty great, but as posted before, I do miss notification LEDs and hope the Always On display is in the next update.

Sillybones posted:Is it going to matter for like, chat apps? Phone Discord? For reference, it is replacing Windows 8X (2012). From my experience, with 2GB RAM, your phone OS will experience hiccups during usage and most of your apps will be kicked out of memory as soon as you minimize or exit. It'll be frustrating to use after a while, especially as many apps continue to increase memory usage as they get updated and add new functionalities. Imagine exiting an online payment app to quickly google for prices, then accessing the app again to discover that it got kicked out of memory and you have to enter payment details again. Those little frustrations will add up. 4GB RAM is the minimum I would recommend for even a lower-end phone in TYOOL 2020. 2GB was a lot in 2012 (waxes nostalgic about the Nexus 4), but is not enough nowadays. anakha fucked around with this message at 09:38 on Jun 4, 2020 |

Stevie Lee posted:i still have Swype installed  Hey fellow Swype still-user. I still have Swype installed because I swipe in two languages and the experience of having predictions in both languages without having to manually switch is still better on Swype than on anything else I've tried so far. Granted, I haven't used Swiftkey in literally years, so if their multi-language algorithm and swiping has improved, I'm willing to give that another try.

Can't wait to get off this OnePlus train. Got the 7T two years ago and the battery's gone to poo poo with the Android 11 update it's still stuck on while my work-issued Galaxy A42 5G just got updated to Android 12 last night. I'm not really willing to spend more that what I spent last time on the 7T and Pixels aren't officially available where I live, so I'm gonna have to go Samsung if I want official warranty with decent software support/updates. Probably gonna have to wait for whatever 5G A-series phones will come out this year (maybe the A73) to take advantage of the 3-year OS update commitment. anakha fucked around with this message at 06:14 on Feb 24, 2022 |
