Thanks

Can I get help picking out a phone? I've browsed the wiki but it's outdated and I just want a cheap chinkphone that's got: 5in or less display, MicroSD, decent camera, decent game support. What's the current good redmi or something model that's around $150?

thanks I'll also ask in the thread

so 3s is the winner?

thanks again

I'll leave questions for the thread for now on

I'm in the USA

Florida specifically

anyone have an idea what the Redmi 4 will be priced around?

gnorc

oops, thats me trying to ctrl-f the last thing I said

how that the Redmi Note 4 is announced and priced, how long abouts until the last generation drops in price?

havent you chink-obsessed nerds been through this cycle enough times to have an idea?

this is the 4th time

I see..

If a phone works on tmobile LTE... will metro PCS service work on that phone? It supposedly uses t mobile's towers

Sounds risky then... I can't find any reports on the phone I want, that supposedly only has bands for at&T and some tmobile

no, I will now, I'm kinda new to phones

yeah this site is very helpful.. Seems to have a check on everything I throw at it, but people online seem to say only some bands are covered.. Maybe they're just reading info and haven't actually tried it themselves.

That sounds awful. I'm starting to think maybe I should just upgrade off metro, but it is nice and cheap.

I'm trying to use willmyphonework and it seems to say this phone will work on anything (looking at the ZUK Z2 that's back in stock posted on in /csg/) but I figure I'm reading it wrong

how suitable are those artscow mousepads for gaming?

I might wanna get an extra large one for my desk and a cardgame playmat

anything to compare it to?

and I see

didn't know xiaomi made mousepads

Any good fitness related items from Aliexpress I should consider?

Is Chinese phone malware preinstalled on your phone a meme or is it a widespread issue?

Can I flash it and remove the spyware and shit, or is it just in there for good?

yeah that's what I'm worried about furfag

Well I got a Zuk Z2, so here's hoping.

hasn't come in yet

Someday Windatica.

That's a poor excuse to allow people to spy and collect your info and possibly use it in a criminal manner.

It's why things are as bad as they are now

I'm not in the mood for your pettyness.

it's a legitimate concern.

Thanks Tervy, looks like this model can be flashed thankfully

It's my first china phone so I'm just wondering what I'm getting into

Oh right

and I hope it does Furfag

But that's some time out I think..

Hello.. So I'm kinda retarded, and people tell me I need to order what I want to order of "Capitalist". What is that?

dont do that

place that apparently sells powders and chemicals online

from china

So my phone came in, and Lookout says it has viruses preinstalled (Zuk Z2 from Banggood)

I didn't know about that until it had already shipped.. So yeah

What can I do about it?

right, well I just got the phone today

how do I know the rom I download won't also have malware?

not really in the mood for stupid pissy behavior

you're fine

OK, thanks

@Tribit The box had tape around it like it was supposed to be sealed. The UI was already in english though

OK I will

I mean, maybe I;m just retarded and theres no vendor crap, but Lookout says 2 of the apps are adware

one being com.shenqi.xuipermissionmanager

the other being System UI adware detected

and just that Sound Recorder is at risk

lemme upload pic

@Tribit

I have a GAPPS question

I want to be all picky and shit about what apps I get but I'm kinda sure I wont want many of them.. should I get the Aroma installer?

to squeeze out a few mb or system storage I guess

using it

best music app on android?

What's the best earbuds within the $5-$10 range?

these earbuds cost $28, you should be hanged

Someone tell me: Best aliexpress earbuds I can get that aren't over $10?

Both work for me, honestly

I wouldn't mind getting a pair of each

fill me in on monks

Im convinced its a dangerous meme

Any ideas for good retro-game related good that aren't horrible from china?

like cables, parts, mods, w/e

obviously the question isn't for you

stuff like scart cables with decent shielding, extension cords, any of the converters, etc

I'm shopping for gifts, numbnuts

yeah, for xmas, my brother's birthday is in january though so I wanna get him some cheap lil things :((

Late, so theres still time

tho honestly I havent really had things take longer than a month to arrive, even in this season

This particular custom jumbo mousepad, is it any good?
