What cell phone do you use?

Off-Topic & Miscellaneous Tech Gadgets & Electronics

So watching YouTube I ran across people talking about the One Plus Two I was curious what phones other people use?

I use the Google Nexus 5 I love it, I did have it rooted for a while but after an update Sprint allows all the features that I needed it rooted for.

As a side note I also have the Nexus 9 (16GB version) and the only thing I don’t like about it is the fact its 16GB as I am pushing the limits of the storage capacity.

So what do you carry?

I carry an lg g4 and an extra battery in case i need it
my tablet is a dell venue 8 pro running full windows

I use the Nokia Lumia 925 Special Edition (32GB Model) and I love it. Simple, fast responsive interfaces, clean and elegant. The biggest downside would be the lack of apps, but in time I hope that gets better.

Ohh and I forgot to mention the beautiful camera on this thing

LG Volt. Its a cheap $60 phone, but it works for what I need. The freezing up does get slightly annoying though every once and a while although a reboot always fixes that issue.

(All I ever use phones for is SMS messages, email, SSH Client, and a web browser, I find it silly to even bother to do anything else as its a phone, not a computer, even though so many people think it should be used as a computer.)

I use both the iPhone 6s Plus 64GB (Personal) and the iPhone 6 16GB (Work). No complaints for both other then when i’m in a hurry the touch ID sensor is never quick enough.

I use a samsung S5, i’m pretty new to android cause i change from apple one year ago, even if i always had apple phone,
I am now happy with android, has for the samsung thing, I root my phone and remove al the samsung bloatware.

Things that i like about the S5(android):

  • SD card slot
  • Water proof (safe my phone last week :slightly_smiling: )
  • (android)Youtube adblock :wink:
  • (android) Boot manager :wink:
  • (android) You have access to your partition as a usb drive :ok_hand:

There only one thing that i really don’t like about android his that firmware update his realy slow to get when you’re not on google phone… that something that really bother me. I know i could install CyanogenMod but i’ll wait that my warranty expire before using custom rom

Doesn’t rooting your phone void the warranty anyways? I know for my provider it does. I used to be a Samsung fan but after switching to the Nexus’ I don’t think I’ll ever go back.

8

I’m not really sure, cause it still new to me and i did not check with my provider… at the beginning i just wanted to try android
can you believe i’m still with kitkat -_- carrier still not have push Marshmallow to people, I think we will get it maybe in mars,
Next phone maybe next year will be a nexus for sure

It doesn’t surprise me at all…

Nexus 4, Just love nexuses and haven’t got around to upgrading. I run CM13 Nightly builds.

Has anyone here heard of the brand Meizu? There are a couple of reviews on YouTube but none from any decent / harsh / in depth reviewers. In New Zealand I can get the M2 Note for $300 which is very cheap for the specs, are they really as good as they sound?

12

Also heres a link to one in NZ http://www.pbtech.co.nz/index.php?z=p&p=MPHMZU5711&name=MEIZU-M2-note-White-5.5-FHD-2GB-Memory-16GB-Storag

13

Never heard of that brand, though it looks like an iPhone with Android.

14

I just got a Iphone 6+ because it made sense because I have Macbook air for school, but previously I used the One plus one and I LOVED it and looking at the One Plus Two kind of wished that I got the One Plus Two!

15

I for one am not a huge fan of iPhones, they just seem like a kids toy sometimes.

  • Itune was good at the beginning because it was small, fast and had not a lot of feature,It could transfer music easily on ipod/iphone, and the music player/librairy was good. After year, the program became really big with alot of feature that most of people don’t use, (like windows), it keep crashing and it really slow.
  • My last apple phone was a (iphone 4s) i couldn’t find a simple free remote for XBMC.
  • I also receive a first gen ipad, i was soo disappoint that i couldn’t not update the web browser… Half of the page on the internet crash because of the old safari version. The only utility of this app is word/pdf trought dropbox and youtube
  • It a paint in the ass to transfert your librairy and song to another computer. I’ve never succeed to transfert it…

Nexus 4 running Cyanmod 13. It’s old, but it does the job :wink:

18

I agree as far as using it for tech stuff it’s carbage, but it syncs up with my macbook for easy portability and what not, but I would go for either like a G4 or a One Plus Two.

I’m using a Samsung S5.

Rooting your phone (here in Canada) trips a “Knox counter”, which will void your warranty. Also if you work for a business that requires your knox counter to be original state, you’ll be SOL using your phone on that network.

On a $600 phone i won’t risk losing my warranty even for stupid bloatware.

Hm, first time I’ve heard of the Knox Counter but for anyone who is interested (as I was) I included a link. Samsung KNOX Counter you should know | Kingo Android Root
