I suppose phones being released after the mi5 in China could all copy this 4g/3g capable tech. We might see a number of choices later this year, Q3 or Q4.

Is that possible to give more details on the purpose of flashing Z1 multiboot boot.img on a c6802? Sorry for the noob question but I did not know the Z1 multiboot would work on a ZU and if so, the ZU would do multiboot as well? Are there any links I could follow and do more research? Thanks in...

Thank you very much for helping this!

Thanks blueether. I read the thread before but could not understand how exactly the ZU can be made to boot on charging from that thread. Does the Pimped Kernel caused the ZU to be able to boot from AC power. Can I assume if I flash the kernel, I will be able to boot the phone on AC power...

Huawei Mate 7 is the one you could check. Best screen body ratio, god Battery, excellent screen, great camera it has everything a premium phablet will need except no MHL & Wacom Stylus. I am not kidding, but I did impress most of my friends when I used the phone to take photos in front of them...

Hi Folks, I would like to boot up my zu c6833 when it is connected to AC power. After some research, I noticed the Nexus 7 can achieve this through adding strings in bootloader binary: fastboot oem off-mode-charge 0 And Samsung devices can achieve this through modifying the file...

AU Mate 7 owner here too. Sorry for you mate. Did you buy if from JB HI FI? If so you might just ask them if they can arrange a fix with Huawei?

This review is shocking. The truth is the camera is so good on stable shot but not on moving objects. The camera also blows the iPhone 6 in close up shot. In a certain close distance, the iPhone 6 just cannot get a focus but the Mate 7 manages to capture the object with great details. Not to...

There is no phone with metal back that can support Qi charging... Look or function, your choice...

Yes, I can see how bored you are as you randomly quoted my post because you just don't like the word "troll".. and then talked about not relevant thing.. But it is ok. But just some friendly words from me: it is risky to express an opinion that possibly relates to age discrimination..

Now people can clearly see you are nothing but troll. My phone lags? Sorry, they are my property. It is not up to you to comment if my n5 or g3 lag or not. Otherwise if I reply you something like "your brain dies", you would complain I am too harsh again, but yes, you deserve to be treated in...

This is xda, not a rookie cellphone community. Root the G3 and get rid of all the LG and carrier crap, put it to ART and DISABLE the LG's auto screen brightnes throtte. Now you can compare the phone with a system refreshed N5 in ART mode. The two phones are performing on par on regular use...

I take my words to your statement as objective and civilized but not harsh at all based on what crap you are spreading. And I am replying you with my black Nexus 5. I do not have M8 but I have both G3 and N5. And I am copying you and conclude your statement is FALSE just like what you did to...

Man, it performs similar as two of my N5. If you insist others are just defending their G3 without telling the truth, I will call you a liar based on what you state.

I guess this is a bit off topic as the thread is about the G3 impression. I am still waiting for the integrated qi charging back plate for my G3 to make it work on my car dock setup. The dock was designed for my nexus 5 so I will need more time to make the G3 work smoothly on it.

You have no idea of how this wireless charging thing becomes a MUST in life if you do not use it. I have them on my desk, bed side, kitchen, living room, car, office... I built DIY stand for my phone with Qi charging so I just leave the phone on the stand and it charges. In my car, I have...

The m8 has a metal back so there is no way to put the qi recever inside the plate. The only way you could possibly do is to use a case and put the receicer in side the case. But hey, this phone is already like the note 3 weight and you ask me to put more weight on it with a case? And at the end...

If m8 only has an ugly front logo bezel, I would still consider it as a potential new phone for myself; If m8 is only heavy, I would still consider it as a potential new phone for myself; If m8 only has a small screen on a big overall size, I would still consider it as a potential new phone...

This is off topic but at least your information is second hand. I have Lumia 920, N5, M7, G3. My friend has S4, iPhone 5. I can tell you by comparison, N5 stands ahead of L920, M7, iPhone 5 and on par with S4 in terms of SOT on our use pattern (browse web + email push). The G3 has about 0.5 to...

Please do not spread misleading info. The N5 belongs to 2013 and it has better and on par battery life compare with the two major android flagships of the year, the htc one m7 and the samsung galaxy s4 respectively.

I can confirm with you that the G3 has a better battery life than N5, but the margin is not too big. In my use pattern, if I achieve 4.5 hours sot on my N5(wifi), I would get around 5 to 5.5 hours on the G3 in similar use. I would say this is enough for me, as 5 hours sot is more than enough to...

Use metal will be a BIG FAILURE on any model to me. Because, you will lose the wireless charge ability, which to me, has become the NO ONE dealbreaker no matter how good the phone is in other aspects.

I don't care about 4k output actually. What I care is the support of use otg and screen output simultaneously. That's why mhl is more attractive than slimport atm. Would be disappointed if at the end G3 doesn't support mhl3.0. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

This is more likely to be a false statement as the capacity determines everything in the battery technology with same material. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

So it is confirmed the g3 won't work on the MHL 3.0 despite the LG staff confirmed that in the email? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

There are sources of early reviews tell complete different story. On the battery, BGR lists a complete different story. I am more interested to see detailed reviews from anand tech and ars tech. I give them more credit than sites includes GSM. Their endurance tests are always questioned based...

Easy, man. I would not say HTC delivers best flagships but the one series are OK flagships in their period and still have some competitive advantages among their counterparts. Like you said, some people just like the metal build then the one can be their choice and of course they think they have...

Yes. You can see how quickly the M8 can become a past thing. Now, it is time to seriously consider the G3 and forget about the M8. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Yes, A7 is really a big thing in the mobile world. This makes me very curious to see their next announcement in the context that the competition is sort of reaching the limitation this year. If the A8 continues to lead this year, I would skip my upgrade on the s801 devices and wait for the...

That's not true. Before the release of the 5s, Benchmark thing is always an advantage in the android world. The A7 changed this. However, the 5s is smooth in general use, it is not faster than s800 counterparts. My n5 opens app is noticeably faster than 5s - I believe your gpe m8 will do the...

To me, m8 is a clear no go as its inability to do the wireless charge - thanks to its metal finish, there is no way to make qi charge inside the body. Also thanks to its bad screen body ratio, it would be too bulky to use any wireless charge case as external solution. Another reason is its not...

Thanks for the reply. Yes, in certain cases, speed is more important than quality to me as my wife needs to quickly capture some cute moment for our babe in the evening time at home. The N5 failed to serve in this field. Now I suppose the s5 would not perfectly meet her needs either. However...

Really? I did not expect the camera s5 would suffer in the night time in house environment. The auto focus really has to hang for about 5 secs to be ready? I already hate my nexus 5 so much on the inability to quickly snapshot objects in low light environment, was expecting the s5 to perform...

I do agree subjective view is not gonna change others opinion. However objective stats can't do the job either. Neither of them will stop an opinion based argument. One can only change view by himself. It is like if I prefer metal finish, no matter if you tell me you like plastic body...

One asked why you care sales when choosing a phone and you questioned his age and kept giving so much irrelavent bullshxt. Similar question is going back to you: are you a junior business student who just cannot wait to apply those dots and points from his brand new textbook to the real world...

Chromebook has everything you need? Then well, go ahead. Cause it is cheap and maybe simple to use. Just make sure one day if you come up with something that you want to do but can be done only on a real computer (like using certain software or playing certain games), you can't. At the end of...

Hi folks, it seems to be a rare issue but it is drving me crazy every time I use the camera. I am on stock not rooted kitkat 4.4.2, the issue is only seen after update the google camera to the latest version with the new ui change. Now every time I launch the camera app, the phone could hang...

Another problem is the gpe version does not support LTE in Australia. It is like paying premium for a downgrade... Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

iPhone 5s is a fast phone, but is never a fastest one like you always claimed. At least in my personal case, my iPhone 5s had similar smoothness in UI operation as my Nexus 5 in the dalvik mode. But when opening apps like most of my social apps like Line, Katalk, Wechat etc.,my Nexus 5 is a...

If you think only alienated ppl care about the small speed difference between the s5 and other 2013/14 flagship, I can only say: welcome to this alienated world. As many of us in this forum REALLY CARE about this. Your no-care on this issue is ABNORMAL in our eyes. Yes, I am talking about the...

No body experiences a noticeable lag when take the first one or two photos every time after the new camera app launch? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

S5 is big. However it is the smallest android flagship of 2014. Just take a look at the m8 and z2. To me, the screen against body size ratio is very important and the S5 is still in the acceptable range. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I'm not trying to defend for s5 and I may be a bit off topic here. But what are the WOW factors that m7 brought to us really? Put my wife's m7 next to my nexus 5, I only see the excellent speaker, buildin IR, and the fast focus+snapshot from its camera are advantages over my phone. However...

Disagree. I don't get even Koreans with relatively smaller body size have no problem with the screen size, why there are so many complaints raised from the western world where ppl usually have bigger sized body and hands. Smartphone is becoming NO 1 priority personal computing decive to a rapid...

I agree with you and also believe the photo quality from nexus 5 is more than my satisfaction. However until I recently I take the fast focus and snapshot ability as one other key factor to determine how good a smartphone camera is. Especially if you want to capture some quick moments of...

Quality is not the ONLY factor to determine if the smartphone camera is crap or not. There are many ppl use their smartphones to snapshot quick moment and if you take this into consideration, the camera on the nexus 5 is USELESS in a lot of lighting conditions. Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda...

In my personal case, picking up either a nexus 5 or a gs4 was a compromise. The former had a good core hardware (s800) and good software (stock android) but crap featured hardware (battery, camera, speaker etc.) and the gs4 had a good featured hardware but bad core hardware and software...

Yes, true. The tw veision will have the gpe port for sure. But considering the bugs, it might be worth to wait for a while for the gpe announcement and then make the final decision. In general the GS5 is very promising. Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

What you do not understand is you can only close your own case but not the others. When ppl discuss about ASOP or something else, no matter if it is compliment or complaint, if it is not your topic, you can simply walk away. Yes, as you said, case closed to you. However, I don't care if you...

I only heard of the GS4 gpe but not the GS5. Besides it is more likely to be the US only again if we do see the GS5 gpe in the future. This means further research to check if it supports enough LTE frequency so it will not become a small wifi tablet when it leaves from its motherland. Sent...
