Should I trade in my Sony Xperia Z for an LG G3? T-Mobile is running a deal on their refurb LG G3. Is it worth an extra $7 a month to upgrade to it? Mainly I've been disappointed withe the camera of the Xperia Z. I have a baby and pictures are important, and I haven't been too impressed with the Z.

We have a camera already, but it's just more convenient having a decent camera phone.

Since it sounds like you own it, how's the front facing camera? The Z is abysmal. END OF AN ERROR fucked around with this message at 07:31 on Jan 10, 2015 |

What's a good, small, budget android? I love my Alcatel Idol 3 4.7 but I've had two of them now, and they both have a screen issue where certain spots are brighter than the rest, it looks like an internal component is pushing on the backside of the screen. I tried the new Moto G, but it felt way too thick and bulky compared to the Idol. And the camera was garbage. I really like my Idol except for this screen issue.

I like the cameras on my Idol. So basically I should keep getting replacements from amazon for my idol until I find a good one, since it sounds like it's the phone for me.

Daily Forecast posted:I got the plastic. I don't care what LG says about it being premium cow leather or whatever: thin, small leather items made in China are almost always, always made of cat or dog skin. I don't like the idea of dead cat on my phone. I had a leather G4 for about a week and the corners of the leather case were already showing wear. And the phone does nothing but go in and out of a pocket all day. Premium.

I like being able to downloading mp3s and not buying songs via iTunes. And not using iTunes at all. And not being one of those people who instead of saying "my phone" I have to say "my iPhone". Like, instead of saying "hey, can you grab my phone for me?", every single iPhone user will say "hey, can you grab my iPhone for me?" And that drives me insane.

Why would a new phone not auto download my apps onto it? I just activated an Idol 3 for a work phone and usually when I first put my Google account info it will auto download all the stuff I have on my old phone, but it isn't doing that with the Idol. Any idea how to make it?

Thermopyle posted:Except you know, I find large phones uncomfortable to use. But yeah, it's silly to be irritated that devices have become less comfortable for me. Yep. I'm making the jump to iPhone. I don't want to, but the only way to get a good camera in android is to have a huge phone, and I want a small 4.7" screen. All androids with that size are dumbed down crap versions of the giant phone.

RVProfootballer posted:All true. Just keep in mind display size is not the same as phone size, and an iPhone 6S will be closer to a 5" Android phone size. Doesn't change that that'll be the best camera in that size phone, though. I had a z3 compact and really liked it, but the big deal here is that I can make payments through T-Mobile for the iPhone, but can't for the z5. I can't justify dropping $500+ on a phone, but spread it out over 2 years and I'm OK with it

I'm just gonna keep using the nice headphones that I already have, so why would I want yet another crummy dollar store pair to throw in a drawer and forget about? Coincidentally, the cheapest phone I've ever owned, the Alcatel Idol 3, came with the best set of headphones, an actually nice pair of JBL that I use constantly.

So for the past two days I have been trying an iPhone 6s because I wanted a not huge phone with a great camera. This phone is for literal babies. Every single icon on the home screen because pressing a menu button would be too confusing. Widgets? Lol no way too confusing. Except for adding music. That you have to be a master of iTunes to get music on your phone. Because a simple drag and drop into a drive on your computer would be so ineffective. So in closing, are there any smaller in size android phones with really good cameras I should look at besides the Galaxy S6?

bronin posted:This is the sad state of android phones we're in when nowadays a thing like the Nexus 5X is considered small. This. The 5x is a huge phone. The z5c is a good choice but I had the z3c and didn't think it was worth the hefty price tag attached to it. Plus I can't finance it through a carrier like I can the s6.

So is there any app that can do what iPhones do with their Live Photos? I'm using an iPhone 6s right now and that feature is the coolest thing I've ever used on a phone. I have a one year old, so every picture makes me smile a little more seeing her moving and laughing. I don't want an iPhone though, so I'd rather find an android app that does it.

redreader posted:I've got a moto x 2013 (bought end 2014, so I've only had it 2.5 years), and was looking at the moto g5 plus, and comparing the processors in both (when I thought it was the qualcomm 817, but apparnetly it's the 825, which nobody knows anything about?). It looks like yeah, it is an improvement, but the 817 at least is not anything special. I was looking at the qualcomm 835 though and that looks like it would be a massive improvement. So I suppose I'm waiting for the pixel 2. Ok sounds good

terre packet posted:What are basic troubleshooting steps for a Galaxy S7 with a speaker that stopped working? It pumps audio out just phone over the headphone jack. I've tried the usual muting, unmuting, safe mode, checking different apps with no luck. Any other ideas? My wife's iPhone 6s was doing this today. Always said there were headphones plugged in even when there wasn't. Looking online a ton of people recommended cutting down the cotton on the end of a q tip til it fits in the headphone jack, then insert it repeatedly while spinning it around and stuff (awwww yeaaahhhh). It eventually fixed it. So there's a place to start I guess?

So can Android not play music over USB in vehicles? I have a 2015 Focus with the big navigation radio. My iPhone plugged in and played music no problem, displaying album art and everything. Plugged in my S7 Edge today and the radio didn't even recognize it was plugged in. It charged, but when I chose USB input it said no device detected.

Ok so it wasn't asking me anything when I plugged in the USB cable. So I tried another USB cable and it actually asked if I wanted to change that setting. So I did and it will now play the Samsung song that came in the phone, but I can't get it to play Amazon Prime music at all, only that one preloaded song.

Eventually the impurities in the water that got inside of the phone will start to cause corrosion, and will then cause solder points to fail.
