Hello all,
I'm just wondering if the V40 is as stable custom as the V30 is. I currently have a V30 that is great and on Android 10, but a coworker has this crappy iPhone 6 and I was just going to sell him my V30 for like $50. I was wondering if the V40 customization options (custom roms and whatnot) are worth paying for an upgrade. It looks like there's not a ton of progress on the V50, otherwise I'd consider that.
The V30 has been phenomenal, thus my reticence to switch phones.
Does V40 have as many options? Are there common bugs?
V40 is NOT a good candidate if you plan to explore custom ROMs. Get an HTC U12+ instead.

No 3.5mm jack. That'll be a no from me, bub. I'm surprised it has a microsd slot, though.
What is the status, though? I see a Lineage build in the development section. Is it just kicking off, or is there not a lot of interest?

I ended up snagging a G8 on eBay for $180. It looks like development is heating up in that forum, so I'll be jumping ship as soon as it does.
If it doesn't, I guess I'll pawn it back off on eBay.

I got a second one for $150 that "cannot connect to wifi". I'm assuming it's an OS issue and I'm going to try to fix it when the G8 is fully rootable. It looks like the V50 is very close to a permanent root solution, and the V50 is very similar to the G8. Overall you can snag G8's on eBay for very cheap, considering it released a year ago

Ok so after I got my op3t I had horrible battery drain issues, after that my vibration got very loud buzzy and wierd... And I couldn't handle with the phone like that... So I returned it and got my money back...
Now I need a new phone... And I consider if to wait till mid + 2017 until I decide what phone to get or just buy an HTC 10 (or v20 but everyone say that it has stuttering problems)
now... what do you suggest? Should I get the HTC 10? wait? Or get a new 3t...?
(I'm not considering the S7 because no USB-C)
I need a very very good battery and camera
A very good performance
A nice vibrant screen and good build quality...
What phone do you suggest?
Or.. what do you suggest I'll do?
(Meanwhile I have a broken HTC M8)
Thank you!!!
3t if you want newer tech, Dev and better quality.

HTC 10, V20 and S7 are the same price as him in Israel... You sure?
Unlocked pixel, or another 3T or wait for the S8
If I were you, I will try my luck to get another brand new 3T since you already said that the S7 were not an option anymore.
The lousy vibration might be the hardware or manufacturing defect, however as for the battery drain, for sure, I'm not experienced it. Currently, my 3T running on the latest OOS 4.1.0 with latest ElementalX kernel and the battery life is just fine for me.

man I suggest you to go for another 3T or HTC 10. I own both phones And I love them so much. HTC 10 will not give you the best of everything but the overall experience is perfect. and balance. the build, the screen, the feel in hand, the speakers, the camera and the nougat is so stable I can say its stable than most smartphones these day (oh wait pixel is the number 1 in term of software). you can head up to htc 10 forum and there is no complain thread. I can afford any phone but I still cant find the perfect 10/10 phone this year. I would say no even someone offered me S7 or v20 or ultra U for free.
Both phones I rate 8/10. good luck

I dont know based on your rate its samsung s7 edge. I dont think you should wait. you buy a phone when you feel to. you wait for another 3months to buy a new phone then you will have to wait for another 3-5 months waiting for the price drop and in the next few months there will always new phones come again. you will keep waiting forever.

I still have my M8. Going from M8 to HTC 10 is not a day and night different but its an upgrade tho because M8 still runs good in any day.
What I dont like on 3T is the amoled yellowiest screen and the camera. the rest im very satisfied if oneplus fix those in op5, sure 2017 is the year.

The plus 3 screen is beautiful and white. The whites are the whitest whites I have ever seen on a smartphone. What are you talking about? Maybe the one you saw had night mode on... The camera is actually pretty good and the 60fps video is amazing!
But sure... The 10 really does seem better and the camera rated only one point less than the pixel

I'm been searching for a while, but can't seem to confirm if there's any legit root yet. I'm not an expert user or a dev., so I would need something that's fairly easy to follow.
no
So I'm safe to sell my G6 right? Doesn't look like root is coming this way

Yeah man, if you are looking for a phone to root then the G6 H872 is not the one T.T. Still a great daily driver to have for under $450.
I jumped on a V20 a little after getting the G6 and rooted it. Overall I feel like the old V10 was the last great phone LG produced

Lets hope there is root. Although im not exactly happy that H872 isn't rooted (my current driver), it is still a stellar device especially given the price. Can often pick it up for over 40% cheaper than an S8 BRAND NEW lol.
Been holding a bit of a rant in me for a while buuuut lets be honest, neither the S8 nor Pixel rooted/unrooted are faster than the iphone 7/8. It's processor, and optimization is waaaay ahead of snapdragon and atop of having waaaaay faster NVME memory. So if you are looking for the fastest phone, then simply buy an iphone lol. Root gives all sorts of very interesting functionality which is mainly what i would assume everyone on XDA wants to explore . Sigh but that exynos and quad dac. Wish us peasant American carrier's can get those.
DAMN! Just bought a new G6 for just saw there's no root. How is that possible still?!! Tried flashing the TWRP for the international G6 but kept failing. I am going to keep it for a while - hopefully root will show up somehow.
Yeah I'm trying to get root and or twrb built
Hi folks,
I can get a good/mint condition 64 GB 3T for ~$360-375. Or I can buy a new 5 for $479 presumably plus tax so around $512 actually.
I'm on the fence as to which way to go. Coming from an LG G3 so either OnePlus would feel modern and snappy. I'm a bit concerned by reports of the jelly effect on the 5, but I like the idea of a new phone complete with warranty I can send back if I don't like it. OTOH, I like the idea of saving $150 on my phone upgrade. Resale value on the 3T might go down over the next year more than the 5, though, somewhat offsetting this. And I've heard there are some issues with Light Flow (LED notifications) on the 3T... this worries me, as I use Light Flow extensively.
FWIW I use AT&T as my carrier.
I'd be grateful for any thoughts here to help me decide one way or the other.
Thanks!
That's a easy choice, Get the oneplus 5 but if you have the jelly effect just get your refund and get a mint conditon oneplus 3t.
It's a good idea. Was just wondering if there was any other reason to go with 3T instead, to add to the cost savings idea.
Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk
I'd snag the 3T if I were you; I've had the 3 since it came out and after reading the issues with the 5 (which seem to come aplenty), I went with the 3T.
Which issues, specifically, other than jelly scrolling (which might not bug me even if I see it)?
Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk
- Chipped / damaged camera lenses
- Dual camera lenses not properly functioning or not at all
- Missing paint from the side of the lenses / phone
Those are some that come off from the top of my head.
Also, the 911 bug. Just a software issue, and a fix has been pushed OTA. But now some folks are complaining the fix is causing overheating.

Yeah, I heard about this. Shocking that it could occur, but glad it was fixed quickly. I hadn't heard about overheating issues. Will investigate. Apparently other phone models from various makers have elements of the 911 bug too. Scary.
Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk
here is my 2 cents, if you have the opportunity to buy a mint 3t 128gb for 360 do it.
You won't want to deal with paying for shipping or even deal with OPO customer care when and if u have to return ur opo5
well, I was having OP3 64GB, ordered OP5 128GB with 8GB of RAM recently. The OP5 is definitely faster while switching apps, home button reaction etc. Battery was also great, I was surprised. Simply, there is not faster phone on market.
But I sent it back anyway because of poor (to my taste) video recording. EIS doesnt do such a great job as OIS and it did not work in 1080p60 if I remember right (maybe it does work now after SW update). For this very reason I sent it back and got brand new OP3T 64GB for $375 instead ) And am very happy now I would not change back to OP5 now.
Good luck with your choice
It is a tough choice. Was also considering HTC U11 and LG V20 but specific issues made me look at OnePlus more strongly.

Get the 3T and save the money for a future 5T, where all the bugs will be solved with the experience they got
Edit... I was also looking for the V20 when I decided for the 3T. LG is terrible with updates and the 2 screens only worked with the original LG framework so, if someday you think about going AOSP, I don't believe it will be working... Just my 2 cents though
If the choice is simply between the 3T and 5, I would suggest going with 3T.
Currently, I'm thinking to change my 3T to G6 or V20 due to both of LG's flagship had a quad DAC. Mind you, the audio output from the 3T is just worse, I cannot stand to listen to a song from Spotify Premium (extreme quality settings, headphone Audio Technica M50x or IEM ATK-CKS550iS) for more than 20 minutes.

Right, the V20 doesn't have a multicolor LED, and the second screen has limited support for customizing the way I would want to use it, so I sort of bailed. The U11 does look like a nice phone, but not sure it is worth a $200 premium over the OP5 for example or a $300 premium over the 3T. Further the U11 doesn't exactly have band 17, though presumably it's OK on band 12 which has band 17 parity in a weird way for ATT. What I'd like is to drive all three phones for a while and then make my decision...
Mint 3T -64GB from reputable sellers on Swappa is over $400. Not sure if I want to go with a first time seller (though, I was a first time seller, once). Good condition goes in the $350-375 range, at the moment. Hmmm...

The U11 looks like such a nice phone. I've been a loyal HTC fan for so long, the 3T is actually my first non-HTC smartphone, going back to Windows Mobile days!
But in addition to the price, the absence of the headphone jack just was a deal breaker for me. Folks keep saying that it's due to the waterproofing, but that's nonsense. Samsung, LG (and I believe Sony as well) achieve waterproof IP ratings with headphone jacks, plus MicroSD slots. And the charge slot doesn't seem much different, in terms of waterproofing. It more seems to me that manufacturers just want to utilize the space (by removing the headphone jack), or save a dollar or 2 on having to waterproof the headphone jack. And in the process force "progress" that customers don't actually want; but make them "think" they want it.
Okay, sorry for the rant. Maybe not even one of the issues you were referring to. But just my own thoughts on the topic.
Thanks all.
I had lots of hesitation points on the 5 so I decided to buy a 3T for now. Got a mint one (64Gb) for $370 on swappa a few minutes ago. I will play with it for a month or two while keeping my eye on the developments on the 5 and other phones of interest. Can always trade up later if I feel like it.
Thanks for all your help.

Jelly effect is a deal breaker (at least, for me). I ordered a OnePlus 5 at launch, go it for 2 days, send it back to refund, and purchased a OnePlus 3T yesterday.
Yes, I could have wait for the 5T (tho, we are not even sure about it); if we always wait, we never buy.
Plus, OnePlus 3T still has an awesome community (with Boeffla and Dorimanx for example, I know my device will have kernel update for a looooong time) and some awesome specs, even for 2017.
So yeah @Frankenscript, I think you made a great choice
Thinking about picking up a used nexus 6 on tmobile, any known problems I should be aware of? How the battery life on average ? Thank.
If you need to announce yourself as a possible user. Then don't. Skip it the Nexus 6. It gets terrible battery life I'm constantly charging mine or changing the battery. It's a 3 almost 4 year old phone and your very late to the show. In fact its nearly over. Do yourself a favor and get a Nexus 11 or a Nexus 13.
Might as well skip and get the 6P/Pixel if you can.
Camera is so-so, battery life doesn't stand a chance with today's gen.
Well, IMHO, if it's a fair deal for you, and you can't afford/want a newer model, I wouldn't go running from it. Many of us are still very happy with this device.
If the battery hasn't been changed, you will absolutely experience battery problems. With care, it is not too hard to replace the battery and they can be had for ~ $15(US).
You'll want to make sure the USB port is in good shape and not only charges but connects to a PC correctly.
Pure Nexus and lineage are currently actively supporting this device, though Google is stopping updates.
It it's easy to root and flash ROMs. It's a reliable device to learn on.

I just picked up a brand new ATT (GSM unlocked- I'm using on T-mo) overstock for $215, and for that price I can't think of a phone with a better dev community and support. The battery life is definitely not bad if you take a look at undervolting/underclocking a bit and maybe sticking to black OLED themes/pixel filters. Definitely has not been an issue for me and the turbo charger is, quite frankly, amazing.
My $185 Moto G4 just kicked the bucket and the Nexus is miles better in almost all regards.

No chance of it being 14k. That's the price of Snapdragon 450 Moto G6.
They have priced the G6 plus at 22.5k so maybe they are planning to launch it between G6 and G6 Plus at 18-19k.
And that is just sheer optimism from my side. Knowing moto and their overpriced phones, I'm expecting 24-25k.

No chance of it being 14k. That's the price of Snapdragon 450 Moto G6.
They have priced the G6 plus at 22.5k so maybe they are planning to launch it between G6 and G6 Plus at 18-19k.

It is an India only device. So no sense in adding to the cost by including nfc because literally no one uses nfc here.

okay, then i can hope the european or china version have NFC ..
Link, Info (here have NFC) GSM-Arena.com Motorola One Power (P30 Note)
Sorry but i dont think they will launch this phone in Europe.
This phone has too many good features at too low a price. If you watch the launch event, you'll see how they kept emphasizing that they made this phone with the Indian customer in mind, who happens to be very price sensitive.
I'm hoping this phone launched in other markets and we get good dev support but somehow i doubt it. They want to you to buy overpriced G and G plus

but it being launched only in India may be a problem for its development??

If motorola releases kernel sources, many people will jump onto the bandwagon. And moreover, this same device launches as the P30 and P30 Note. With a slight variation in the spec sheet. Hence I expect development to be strong. Also its a Android One Device, you can expect 3 years of security updates.

I don't know about the history whether Motorola releases kernel sources early or it takes much time like xiaomi do. This phone will be my first Motorola phone but I do trust the brand that's why I am going for it. Earlier I had MI Max 2 which has quite bad development the main reason being xiaomi releasing the kernel sources very late. I mean the world is going for Android p and MI is still messing with nougat. Are you a developer? I have some knowledge of development but I cannot work from scratch. Feels like I am a copycat who just improvises[emoji6]

Motorola generally releases kernel sources in time. It already has the G6 series' sources available.
I generally find budget motorola devices to have good amount of support. I own a moto X play but sadly I cannot relplace its battery with an official motorola one so gotta change it. It runs Official LIneage OS 14.1 which is absolutely stable. I tested 2 Oreo Builds which work to the most extent but have a few bugs which make it a non daily driver material. Devs are still on it though. And some Xaomi devices have great dev suppport and some are absolutely trash, no offence to anyone.
I liked the motorola under google and my phone is from that age. As this device is under the Android One banner so I am considering it.
I am not a developer, I am a tinkerer. I don't critisize, I just inform things in a very detailed way.
I am in a dilemma between the Zenfone Max Pro and Motorola One Power. I prefer the Motorola One Power due to its software right now. I just hope they don't hold the dumb flash sales like Xaomi! ._.
