me too, maybe it's due to my little hand. I'm using a Sony Z3 compact. Evry thing is just fine but it's so easy to break Sony advertised that this phone is durable

I was thinking about getting that phone Z3 Compact but yes thats what Ive heard also was that the screens or glass back and front can break easily? Then I noticed the S5 Mini and really liked the look of it and im just used to Samsungs I guess. But the performance of the Z3 compact are very awesome and I wish I had that in this phone tbh.

So anybody have any good experience/recommendation on data recovery? My bro said his data on his Note 3 (att, not rooted) got wiped including all his pictures. I've never dabbled in phone recovery so I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas. I'd appreciate any ideas though

Hmm... there's an app I used a year or two ago to recover pics off of an SD card, probably works as well against a phone... lemme check....


I think this is what I used. http://www.easeus.com/data-recovery...over-deleted-photos-pictures-from-sd-card.htm

Does anyone know a good program I can use on my Android Phone to be able to chat/video call for free (like skype) but doesnt consume Credit, and only uses or can be changed to use internet only (like skype does) Im testing out Wechat atm and it seems ok? Google hangouts uses my credit (SMS/MMS service) so its out. Need it to be able to be used on Windows as well and to use my google Contacts (if possible)

new/old toy ... a ZTE Open C, Snapdragon 200, Firefox OS 1.3 from base 24$... couldn't resist ... found some CM13 threads about it decided to try, funny: it's more stable and smoother under CM13 (6.0.1) than under FFos 1.3 more funny: now it has a more recent android version than my Wiko Highway Star 4G which is under 5.1.1

since it suits my need (whatsapp for the job, music, video and some manga reading on the run albeit having a lower resolution and a smaller screen than the Wiko) and since i mostly use my Shield Tablet for anything else heavier, it's my daily driver and the Wiko will permanently set up in a Shinecon VR headset for fun

I have an ald android tablet crunching but it says it only is using 25% cpu. Anyone here know a way to make that 100%?

 

[t_ski]

I'm itching for a new upgrade. Still using an LG G3, love the OS and love knock, but I'm not sure I want to go with a G4 or G5. I've been contemplating a Note S7 (after the batteries get sorted out) or a Moto Force Z. Any thoughts on these two, especially compared to LG's version of Android?

Just got myself a Brand New Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini Im not a fan of big phones!

I am also loving my S5 mini. Switched from J7 and it feels so easy to carry in pocket and handy. Almost all same features of J7 but all in a compact one.

Yeah thats right I like the small ish form factor so I can carry it easy in my pocket, 4.5inch screen is as big as I ever want a phone to be, otherwise its just not a phone lol. I honestly have no idea on the J7 you will have to tell me more?

If I wanted a "big screen" id just use a PC or laptop far as im concerned.

J7 almost felt like a I am using my ipad. Just too big and don't I need to tell you how many times it has slipped out of tiny hands while taking selfies! Also, on the spec side, I don't seem to realize much difference, the camera's great though with 13 megapixel rear.

Dont want that, it falling out of your hands while taking selfies! Id have to do some Googling to see the specs I guess.

Least with the S5 Mini it looks like we will get the Marshmallow update? yay!

If you're not fuss with .2 inch difference in screen and colour/appearance then i would probably save some money and get the S7 edge if you're after Samsung phone*Same spec*..as i am thinking the same at the moment,i want the Note 7 purely for the blue colour as my next upgrade end of the year and once Samsung solved the battery issue. The new improved touch whiz is supposingly better and faster than previous but i wouldn't know as i have not tried it yet*S5 user*.

you havent got any bootloop at all on LG?
in indonesia many got bootloop and solved by replacing the board
LG is good, i may give them a shot but i dunno their design department like missing something with their design
they pack too much in one folder

Not stuck on Samsung, but I'm old and feel any extra size to the screen helps to keep me from squinting at it or burning my eyes out trying to read on it for long periods of time.

No, I haven't had any issues with this phone since I got. I've heard of someone else seeing a tint to the screen due to heat, but I don't have that either. I've actually had two other LG phones (G2 and Ally), and feel this is the best one that I've seen from them yet. I'm just not sure if a G5 is a big step forward in hardware from where I'm at now. My wife and daughter both have Samsung S7's and I can say they both are much smoother than my phone

I would personally look at comparing the Note 7 and S7 edge in stores in terms of your own personal experience and make a judgement the screen to body ratio between S7 edge and note7 are:
S7 edge - 5.5 inches (~76.1% screen-to-body ratio)
Note7 - 5.7 inches (~78.0% screen-to-body ratio)

 

[t_ski]

Yep, I've seen those specs.

[H] had a story on their front page about a Note7 that caught fire and burned up someone's Jeep!

The problem is they are getting bigger and bigger. Producers brag about thickness, but length and width are much more important for comfortable handling. My old Lenovo S820 seems too big and unpractical. It doesn't even fit in the pocket nicely. Every high-end phone these days is well over 140 mm tall and over 70 mm wide, which is a big problem for practicality. I ordered Lenovo S1 Lite which should arrive in a few days, but I'm already unsattisfied with its dimensions. Unfortunately, that's the price for more powerful hardware.

but this is the trend, i feel between 4,7 to 5,5 inch is nice
5,5 for multimedia or gaming not too big
more than that is no, harder to use with one hand, you need to put it on the table or use both hands to use it right

Well, whenever there are sheeps, there will be wool. Manufacturers know that very well and that's why they act so.
There was a research a few years ago which proved that 4.3" smartphones are the best compromise between screen size and comfortable handling/usability for the average person. Unless you are a 2 meter tall giant with huge hands, there's no way that you could use 5.5" phablet comfortably. Even 5" smartphones cannot be used comfortably with one hand (try moving your thumb from the upper opposite corner to the bottom opposite corner) and they feel very uncomfortable in pockets.

People have their own opinions, but my opinion is that gaming on a smartphone is quite "childish" (although the real word would be retarded). That's why there are computers which are much more powerful and offer much more comfort for gaming.

yeah, i recall i got samsung galaxy grand its 5 inch but the screen is more like 3:4 ratio now got grand prime, the screen more like 16:9
i feel better handling grand prime than grand

5.5 inch is max, but its back to body to screen ratio. maybe in the future we got thinner edge so the difference between 5 and 5.5 inch not too much

Just upgraded my G3 to a G5. I'm liking it so far
