Hi. Need a new driver - looking for advice. I'm in the states with a t-mobile sim. Been using a Z3 compact which is about to die. Need something of comparable size - could be a bit bigger, but not into phablets. Don't like Samsung, Sony, LG and other mainstream, although I did have good experience with a nexus.
Elephone? Oppo? Oneplus? What else is out there that I can just buy and stick my sim card in?
Thx

Hi folks!
I did have a nose around and couldn't find anything to help me out in the forums.
I bought a high spec, low price android phone from China. Specs are fine, android isn't. Thinking this would be any easy fix, I was wrong so far.
I would like to have an international version of android including Playstore. The machine is a weiimi. Under the battery it states jielutong k6 amongst a lot of Chinese characters. MTK6572, android 4.4.
Would a ROM work at all or do I need to learn Mandarine?
Help is much appreciated!
Regards,
Bas
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. The problem with these cheap Chinese phones is that there's virtually zero support for them, both from the manufacturer and here on XDA. You could try your luck in the general section but your chances of succeeding are very slim. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it's just the way it is.
Here's the section I suggest you ask your question in:

Hi there,
so recently my One M8 had to be repaired and I was stuck for days with an unbelievably slow xperia active from a friend. I thought, well if any day I could need a replacement phone, say for parties of just when I don't want to take the M8, what would I get? I would like it to be around iphone-4-size and easy to unlock and flash with cyanogenmod resp. still updated with new cyanogenmod versions. It should just run somewhat fluently and have a bit internal storage for the most important apps. What would you recommend?
First thing that came to my mind was a used galaxy s2. still a bit too expensive for my needs.

Hi xda community,
I want to get my grandma a "new" phone, running on at least android Jellybean. Price I am thinking of is between not more than 200 euros. I stumbled on some models I am thinking of buying: Samsung S4 Mini, Samsung S3 Mini, Sony XPERIA T, LG G2 mini.
Features I am looking to:
Bright, sharp display;
Good battery;
Reliable mobile signal;
not bigger than ~4.5" display size;
100-200 euros price;
And that it wouldn't crash often on low memory;
Android version not older than Jellybean, Lollipop preffered;
Anyone has an idea what model I should get, maybe has other models to recommend?
Moved to general thread sorry for disturbance. Feel free to remove this thread

Hi
Good day folks
I've been an iPhone user for long. Presently I'm using an iPhone 6. I've been wanting to test an android. My search lead me to various forums where I was advised that stock android is the safest, least troublesome. With a budget of $250 - $ 300 (max Max) I was told Nexus 5x is an option. Ultimately adding shipping etc, 5x, 6 etc were above budget !
So, I'm here with the question, "...is there a way to buy a reasonable phone within $250-$275 budget (+$25 shipping) & convert to stock Android ? Which phone and how ? how easy / cumbersome ?
TIA for tips and experiences
PS : I'm new here, so IF this is the wrong forum, please direct me.

Hi Guys,
I am confused between samsung s5 and zuk z1.
Can someone suggest me which phone is better.
I recently saw that there is'nt huge difference between both the phone prices. Getting s5 for around 16000 on ebay.
Both phones have few attractive features like s5 is cool having lots of features but having only 1 sim slot and very small battery.
zuk is having cool battery, good camera but very big in size and might have some bugs as its running cynogenmod.
So which phone shall I buy. Please suggest
