Phone for around 300€/330$ - General Questions and Answers

Hello there
I'm stuck choosing on what phone to get. I have a 300€/330$ budget ( I can go up a little bit extra like 50 more if its worth it) My eyes are currently set on the Asus Zenfone 2 because I can't find any other phone that's as good as that with its best bang for your buck.
What I'm looking for in a phone
-At least 32GB storage (64GB preffered)
-Great performance (Can multitask well and can handle resource hungry games/apps)
-MicroSD card slot
-Last but not least, decent development for the phone [emoji14]
Is there anything that can match what I want ? Please comment, would love to hear your suggestions
Thank you.

Sorry for late reply.
I was considering the LG G flex 2 a day or two ago and I saw the lack of development and that killed it for me
The oneplus two looks alright but just overpriced (€400) Hell with €400 I can just buy myself a PS4 lol

[Q] Will android L coming to Gpro2??

to me,it just seems lg just focus on their g2 and g3..and leaving behind gpro2,
and i heard that nexus devices are getting android L before halloween..
as gpro2 user,with no news and such...felt kinda left out behind thousand miles away
I think that it will arrive..... but so much later. Maybe for the next year
Android l coming, but non in pro2
Lg g pro 2 will get 100% Andriod l because this mobile comes with Kikat 4.4.2 ,lg will surely give at least 2 updates
---------- Post added at 08:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 PM ----------
And g pro 2 will also get Lg g3 UI during the update of Andriod L?

I would buy pro 2 right now if this is fact, but i remember the time when i bought Motorola Atrix which was suppose to have ICS update (confirmed by motorola) and turns out never arrived. pro 2 is not very popular phone and i will be very surprised if it ever get android 5 or G3 UI...

i wonder why this phone unpopular since it's better than g2.
they even said g2 will surely get android l and g3 ui...
i also will be pretty surprised if this phone get a new update since they're not promised to send an update to this device nor new ui.
I also wish they release an L version. So that I can keep using this phone.

GEAR S 2 connectivity issue with I Phone 7

People @ XDA need help
i updated my Gear s2 with a Samsung android phone
Model number SM-R732
Software version R732XXU2DPFB
when i even upair it with the previous samsung mobile and when search for the gear s2 through the iphone 7 bluetooth search option the gear s2 wont appear :C kindly help out guys ... why wont the device show on my iphone 7
There is no fix avaible yet. We are waiting the solution. I sent 2 mail to samsung and explained what happened but They havent reply. They work very slow.
Both Leaked Gear manager and Beta Gear manager doesnt work.
it works iphone 6s and under. Probably iphone 7 has 4 cores and different chipset system thats why it doesnt work. I hope Samsung is going to fix it as soon as possible.
Works with mine on 10.0.2....
Beta and Lite edition doesnt work iphone 7 plus edition. Other İphone models are working.
İf yours is iphone 7, How did you make it work?

Nothing special, installed and running. Lite version.

Here it is working. Watch was not connected but is the same. You can see it´s a 7 by model and 256GB capacity.
https://youtu.be/6_Qzw5fMM5M
I know it. When I first restore my personal settings My iphone 6 + to iphone 7 + fist time Gear Manager has run but it never connects Gear S2. Also it didnt connect Gear or see in bluetooth. So I deleted app and re install it but than it gives Simulator error. Thats the issue.

Hi slpro,
When you upgraded to iphone 7 - did you do a "restore phone" or you "set up your phone as new"?

Yes if you had Gear S2 already connected to iphone 6 and do a restore when you upgrade to iphone 7 - it seems to work.
But if you do a CLEAN setup as new phone for iphone 7 - Gear S2 cannot be paired. At least that's what I gathered from the information here.

is my s8+g955u dual camera Hard brick Qualcomm 9008

It's not, it's one of Samsung's S8 working prototypes, that Samsung experimented before deciding on final design and camera setup.

They are saying it is a clone because 100% of retail models only have 1 camera
So that must mean that samsung made 17,000 clones of this duel camera device! Ya, ohk, wait a second... Sorry for being a smart a ass, better then a dumbass, i mean its a $300, it runs 8.0, if it dosnt have a duel camera, im ganna assume either u cloned the device urself mind u (very hard to do) or you flunked out at paylo and now are accepting donations for commen sence??? But no really i have a sm-g955u and need an unbrick.img. Can anyone help me? Please??? I promise to use shabby penguin for now on as long as i live before i think again to flash from within the system... Damn flash-fire. I love u but damn u! I mean come on people it has iris recognition!!! Of course it has dual camera! No u do not get this feature running 5.0. Does putting in 2 cents really get a dollar back? Thank u 4 ur help merry christmas everybody!

im sorry, perhaps my english isnt good enough but i barely get what you are talking about.
1. What is your source of the claimed 17,000 dual camera s8+?
2. Do u have a regular sm-g955u or one with dual camera?
3. How comes your phone is briked? Sorry i didnt get the part where u where talking about it
In general i guess you guys need a Stock rom of our specific dual camera s8. Is there none fitting on www.sammobile.com?
Regards
No i have stock, and modified files. I need a debrick.img or a friendly reminder on how to make one?
Like it says in the thumbprints pictures... Google.com is who did the specs, and the 17,000 are the users who have reviews samsungs SM-G955U for google. Why has this form drifted? Im looking for a unbrick.img, its been since the s3 came out that iv 9008'd a device, and i dont really remember what i all had to do to revive that device.

Yes I did. Did you?
No where in there does it say anything about dual rear cameras.... Because that isn't something that was released. Samsung first dual camera flagship was the Note 8
Even the op claims their phone is an unreleased prototype. Not a retail phone.
Samsung never released an s8+ with 2 rear cameras at retail. If you bought one, you bought a clone
Thats a lie, the model number is sm-g955u which is listed as a s8+ and my thumbnails from google.com say different...

Thanks, that's fine with me. It's ok when you have your phone in the pocket but when it's in the table by your side you can miss notifications if you don't notice the screen.
I've been messing around the settings but can't seem to find an option that let me say I want the screen always on or waking every x seconds/minutes when the notification hasn't been dismissed yet...

Almost, the intermittently part(what is supposed to do) doesn't work...
They actually appear when you lift the phone off the table. It's under the "Gestures" menu and activated by default

Yes, that works but that also requires lifting the phone. xD
The phone is always in my field of view and when codding for hours strait something lighting up(a led or the screen) is more convenient that picking up the phone. I might acknowledge the notification but if I don't check it the first time I'll forget it...
I use my Smartwatch to get Informed about a notification.
Does the phone has raise to wake up or double tap to wake?

It does have an option for slow moition recording, but oddly it doesn't show how many fps. I've searched the specs from other sites and nobody can confirm the fps yet. Not sure if Nokia hasn't released the info or not. But I will try to shoot some footage and see if I can perceive by eye what it looks like.
Stupid question, Google Camera isn't compatible with the phone???

Nevermind, just saw the thread

If the chipset is same & 5G hardware is there, which can be enabled by some software patch, maybe.
That is what I was wondering. hardware comparison
If 5G is there & disabled.
Just a thought. Snapdragon 855 - Qualcomm

ok, this makes everything more clear- X50 modem
