Hi, I have G3. i bought it from China through Ebay. There is a problem with it 西村大一 said that the IPS started separating from the glass front. So I send it back and I have now two options to replace it with the same EU version with 32 GB or for 15$ more I can get G4. Before I had problem with G3 overheating issue with ARCTIC MX-4. So can you give me advice, which one to chose. The second thinks is that i have love mei case for G3 which means if I chose G4 i have to buy new one, well that is not a big deal. I have red for the G4 boot loop problem and the notification light, and sensor problems. Please share your experience and give me advice which one to chose. Thanks!
most of those g3s from China are refurbished.. and the often has screen issues like that..
my advice is, do not get those refurbished LG phones from China.. not G4.. and G4 is not even worth it.. if your budget is around $150-200 you can get redmi note 3, le 2, zuk z2, mi max or there are plenty of more choices..

Ok but the phone came with original box and was unopened. So I think that was a defective phone.
Stick with the G3. G4 is just a minor upgrade IMO, plus the G4 has other issues aside from the usual LG trademark poor quality solder and blazing sun temperatures on the Snapdragon SoC, like QC and some manufacturing defects.
Hey guys
So I'm here asking about the question in the title
I want to know whether the kernel sources are released by OEM or not ?
And I'm getting this phone for only 15K INR
Is there any android developement like custom roms possible on this phone ?? OR should I buy redmi note 4 which has a better support ??
I don't want to switch devices for few more years
Please help me here
That are two phones hard to compare.. snapdragon 820 vs 625, 5inch vs 5.5inch etc, fingerprint on front vs on the back etc... how should we know what you need or want?
Both are great..
And for custom roms > how about if you look into the roms, kernels, recovery.. section? Dont be so lazy man

Warning: Very long story
My purchase of 3Gb variant of Redmi Note 4 was final but could not buy it (everything happens for a good) as delivery was not available by flipkart in my area. I was very sad and finally decided to buy a new, seal packed Redmi Note 3 from ebay at Rs. 9300 (Rs. 10400 was listed price, after applying coupons it became Rs. 9300) as it had performance and recently got franco kernel too (previously available only on Pixels, Nexus and One Plus devices). Finally saw Lenovo Z2 Plus on Snapdeal for Rs. 12000 and immediately purchased it (was hesitant at first reading reviews on Amazon but could not resist SD 820 at this price).
The phone is great, no heating issues and was much better than Redmi Note 3 (Screen quality, camera quality, general performance, looks) when compared side by side as my friend had one. Battery is also good, I get 5-6 hours Screen on time on 4G network with hotspot on and around 7-8 hours SoT on WiFi.
About development, both devices have great roms but Redmi Note 4 has no custom kernel as kernel source codes are not released currently but may or will get them in future when sources are released. Also if you want to be like a trickster and change TV channels of any TV in lobby of any hospital/Hotel, go for Xiaomi phones as they have IR blaster.
The Z2 Plus recently got official Nougat whereas Redmi Note 3 and 4 are still on Marshmallow but that does not matter as you are planning to use a custom rom and all three have 7.1.2 Nougat custom roms.
Conclusion
If you like very good developer support with some good performance, go for Redmi Note 3
If you like development with superior battery life, go for Redmi Note 4
If you want a phone with sheer raw power and the one that does not slow down even after 3 years and a great value for money and brag among friends, go for Z2 Plus.
Currently Z2 Plus is available at Rs.13000 at Snapdeal but wait for amazon sale on 11th, previously at an Amazon sale, it was available for 12K and if you get any bank discount (sometimes 10 to 15% off on SBI Card etc during sale), you can get it for 10-11K too.
Go for the black one, it looks very good
Hope this helps
You can also watch reviews and comparison of phones on youtube for better decisions.

I am absolutely agree with hp5942's statements. Development for Z2 is only growing, it will be awesome in a few months. Note 3 has one of the best dev support and will have it for a long time. Note 4 is better looking and feeling than Note 3, but it is less speedy device.
I'm fine with front mounted finger print sensor
I want to use device for at least 2-3 years
Which one do you suggest me ?

For long run always go with the phone with more performance.
My friend still has no performance issues with his Mi4 (SD 800, flagship at that time) even after 2.5 years.

yeah..this phone worth what u paying for.
Why do you guys confuse much. Its good phone for the price. For 13k you are getting snap 820
Its like for the price of audi you getting buggati
Why to get confused. There are minor software hiccups. As you are familiar with xda you can always use custom roms
Hardware wise there are no issues. Build quality is damm solid. I have thrashed my phone many times, but it still survives.
Back glass is lil fragile.

This phone was a worthy buy @18K, it's definitely a steal @12k, but if you can wait, BigBillionDay/GreatIndian sale is around the corner, you might get an even sweeter deal.

I bought z2 plus(4,64gb) @ 9.5k from amazon
(Actually 11k - 1.5k cashback)
So wait for any amazon sale
May be buy it on Diwali
For those not used to pimp their phones (unlock bootloader, flash rom etc...), i think Zuk Z2 is not a good choice as the original version is not perfect. But if you like to flash and customize your phone, so yes, 10 times yes,it's a very good phone (have it for almost 1 year and still happy with it).
Hello OnePlus XDA community, Henry here. I recently (today lol) sold my OnePlus 5 for a decent $420 in lieu of getting the OnePlus 5T. I bought the OnePlus 5 on release day (June 27th, 2017) and it has been my daily driver since. Now that it is sold, I am resulting back to my backup iPhone 6 Plus (a very slow phone might I add, but it is still quite the looker) I can get the OnePlus 5T for $503 with the student discount knocking off $50 from the 8GB/128GB model.
This post is to basically ask you guys opinions on upgrading from the 5 to the 5T, whether or not my choice and method of selling to get the next phone was a good idea, and any other discussions you would like to bring to the thread!
I have the 5 and just received my 5T today. I'm probably going to sell my 5 to offset some of the cost.
I'm loving the 5T, IMO the screen alone is worth the upgrade.
Well, I will "only" sell my 3T for my 5T, but since the 5 has exactly the same dimensions and display as the 5, I would say, yes, it might be worth it.
I bought the 5T mostly because of bezel-less design. And I love it. So if the bezel is an issue for you, an upgrade to 5T makes sense. Especially seeing how little OP paid for it. 80 bucks for better display and body-to-screen-ratio? Hell yeah.
Since you were able to get such a decent amount of money for the 5... You made a fine choice.
I'll start. I have a P30 Pro. Was thinking of going for this phone. Its very nice looking indeed. But as hard as it is I'll hold off.
I need a new chipset not just a current one overclocked.
Coming from Note 9 just needed an upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+]
Hi, coming from Samsung Galaxy Note 9, just pre-order the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+, 12gb, 512gb. Media Markt told me the phone would come on the 23 August. Portugal.
All the best to you.
I am going to stick with my One Plus 7 pro. 90hz display and 12gb of ram. Timely updates and super fast OS.

Have to agree. No point if you have this already.
Note 10 is a bigger s10 overclocked. With a pen and better camera I'm sure. Just not enough
But Jesus look how pretty is it!
Eventually i will get one, as soon as the prices drop a bit..... My Note8 just came from warranty and is new, although i bought it almost 2 years ago.
Coming from an almost complete "note" usage i am looking for a reason to buy this one...... Don't mind cameras i need it for work and seems that all is the same but the looks and processor speed......
Coming from PT where these "toys" are too expensive....

We seem to end up in the same forums. ?
I ordered the Note 10+ in Aurora Glow last night.
Same ordered aura white in the morning:laugh:
Got $600 for my Note9 plus another $200 store credit. Ordered a 512GB Note10+. I wonder why that size is only available in two colors (black and white). Could it be ceramic back like the S10+? That would be awesome if true.
I'm disappointed that the Samsung rugged case isn't going to ship until after Labor Day. Looks like I will have to pick up a cheap TPU in the meantime. Amazon has a bunch in stock now. Of course I'm not going to get the case that would be here tomorrow and have to wait two weeks to put a phone in it.

Curious about One Plus 7.. having stayed on Samsung scene for almost 8 years... I'm too used to rooting/tweaking/flashing etc.
How does the One Plus 7 stand regarding those? How is the dev. community for it? Do you know?

I was Note fan and never swayed until the note 7. I bought an axon 7 to replace the note 7. Went back to note with the note 8 cause of the great price they gave the note 7 owners. Sold note 8 a year later and got the OnePlus 6T. Sold the 6T and now have the 7 Pro. Let me tell you I have gotten around 6 firmware updates since the phone came out. Constantly improving the phone with the latest August security patch. The phone is just plain fast and beautiful. The dev community is very active and the phone is simple to root and flash roms. It has a 6.7 inch screen with quad hd.
Coming from a Nexus 6p that I ruined while changing my battery for the third time a few weeks ago (totally my fault). Using a Samsung SM-T825 and a novelty android small phone
(but with security updates) while waiting for my 10+. My last note was a Note 4 (bricked a few years ago, yeah I am kind of clumsy) . I did buy a Huawei mate 20 pro end of last year but got a refund due to the screen turning green.
I will be visiting often for accessories reviews and advices.
Giving up my AT&T note 9 for the note 10+ 512g aura black. Placed order through bestbuy this morning for a better deal. Sort of mad that at&t didn't include aura blue in the line up. Smh
trading in S10+, used to have a note and missed the pen. Ordered through Samsung as they are having a trade-in special & other free goodies.
Ordered the Note 10+, 256 GB, Aura Glow through Best Buy. Trading in my S10+.

Yes, yes we do! I thought the aura glow was a little odd in certain light so I went with the blue

I had a OnePlus 7 Pro, it was ok but nothing too exciting. Screen was nice but extreme curves killed it for me! Missed my S10+ and Pixel so I went back to those! Hope the Note 10 puts my S10 out of business!

The Aura Glow is different so I decided to give it a go, worst case scenario I'll dbrand skin it. Not to mention it'll be in a Pitaka case so there's that as well.
I completely agree with you about the OnePlus 7 Pro, ok but nothing to exciting. While I like the screen size of the 7 Pro the in hand feel of it killed it for me. It's a little to thick and heavy for my taste. The Note 10+ has a bigger screen, lighter and thinner than the 7 Pro.

Same here, just because for $540 (after tax) I've got the Note 10+ trading back the note 9, and extra (free) wireless charger and a battery pack.
The reason to spend the money - one stupid reason (on top of the fair price). I have the Samsung watch and I travel 10 days per month, and sometimes forget my watch charger.. What makes my watch a wearable brick.
I hope I won't get disappointed with reception. If it is par with the note 9, I will be a happy camper.
Hi since its black Friday I'm considering buying a new oneplus phone eider an 9 or 9 pro, price does not really maters, but I don't like curved glass hence not sure about if the pro will suite me.
I would want to use it 5-7 years so a good community support is important to me.
I have seen that the op 9 seams not to be that popular not even a lineage os build for it.
What do you think?
How bad is the curved glass on the pro?
Am i right in the assumption that the pro has better long therm perspectives and support expectations?
Many people complains on op 9 pro, but I personally like it. Curved screen is comfortable to use, battery is ok after last updates and applying custom kernel. It's not the best phone one the market, but definitely worth considering.
It's not that OP that it was at the beginning. General feeling of the phone made by community is kind of lost. I remember when I bought 2 OP3 for me and my brother several years ago and I loved the community on their forum. Now I get a feeling community has not much to say about the development plans.
But still it is fine phone.
I am also surprised your OP3 lasted that long In both phones I bought I had speaker issues (I almost did not hear person I was talking to). Had to get them fixed.
My op 3 works well the only issue is that its on a replacement battery and the new I got was a dud so I worry that there are no more good OP3 batteries on the market.
Plus its really time for an upgrade but as said idk if 9 or 9 pro.
It seams to me the normal 9 is by far not as popular as the pro so for a long use the pro may be better, but than there is this anoying curved screen
9 Pro is the one.
Curved screen is not as big like in 8 pro. Of course i don't like curved screen too !
9, i don't know is it have xPan mode in camera from Hasselblad. I think this is a must.
People complain about Pixel 6 Pro, the same...
Like you say, money is no issue... 9 Pro.
Or you can wait few months for 10 Pro.
You have already shown the level of perseverance sticking with the Three... I suggest waiting for 10 Pro not that it won't have a curved screen, but the overall composition and cameras would be much better than any other previously launched OnePlus device.
Do remember that the 9 has a painted plastic frame while the 9 pro has an aluminium frame, since you're planning to use it for a long time.
I too was on the OP3 for 5 years until the screen became unstuck at one edge and then one day the phone suddenly died.
I think I'll go for the 9 pro now, waiting for the 10 is liek waiting for the 11 and so on there is always something better around the corner, and I'm not a great photographer anyways, lol
I came from my OnePlus 3t to the 9pro. I've never looked back
The 9 pro is nice but rumors are the 10 is the refined version, I love my 9 pro but the 10 is shaping to be the next 7 pro.
The 9 Pro now for the win! cheers
Like others said wait for the 10 pro, but don't buy it right away. It could be it has some bugs at first. Wait for the creation of a forum for the device and read a little on the pro and cons then decide.
I wish i did that on the 9 pro.

I hated curved display mainly because 99.9% of screen protectors are absolute ****. Finally found one that I love and is durable, not I have no complaints. I enjoy the snappiness and overall great performance of the pro
