Note 8 eh? How's it treating you so far?

cdawall · Apr 2, 2018

Oh I updated phones again too. Got a LG G6 for work and LG V30 for me. Both aren't awful

Man I love it

The screen is gorgeous
The phone is amazingly light and very thin despite the screen size
It’s very snappy even with all my apps running
And the stylus with live messages make texting the wife very interesting :toast:

Definitely worth the buy

Love Android! How did I miss this thread?

after a couple of month with a Nokia 5 Next in line is a Nokia 8 .... why not a Galaxy S8 or 9 ... well i had the option to take any of the 3 ... but i settled for the one with the best value :laugh:

ok no "infinity" screen but still fine, on par with a Galaxy S8 Exynos, slightly above the S8 SD835 (which is probably due to the fact that Nokia has strictly no bloatware added ) not really far from the S9 either ....

what's the main argument? well 3 of them 1. pure stock Android (and not even needing a custom ROM to make it good ) 2. price wise ... the actual flagship line of some manufacturer are a joke ... 499chf for a Nokia 8 or 999/1199 for a S8/S9? 3. build quality well even the 160ish $ Nokia 5 has it, Aluminum unibody is still sexy ... bonus 4th .... it's Nokia (well HMD )

well i know with a contract i could care less for the price ... tho it would still cost the double, just the amount would've been splited over 24 month and 999chf is not a interesting price for anyone, be it in one go or 24x41.625, actually a friend told me "why do you care for the phone with your contract ... it's free..." a typical case of someone who does not understand how contract work :laugh:

after telling him i would pay ~60chf a month with the Nokia 8 or ~80chf with the S9 he retracted his word and changed his mind over the OnePlus 5, another one what is usually half the price, instead of a S9 :laugh:

I picked up a new tablet on sale. From $266 to $202..

Lenovo Tab 4 8 Plus.

My Nvdia Shield K1 got so painfully slow and laggy and I think the memory card reader was dying.

New tablet is such a breath of fresh air

You likely need to do a fresh install with a custom rom that won't crap out over time.

Mussels · Jun 17, 2018

all my android hardware gets custom roms as they get old, but it sucks as you tend to lose features

(galaxy note tablets lose the pen features, phones lose NFC/banking stuff, etc)

throw in shit like pokemon go and basic apps like snapchat not working on custom roms, and the concept of reviving old hardware becomes more problematic - i've even heard of video streaming apps refusing to work on custom roms because "piracy"

I'll probably get around to it now. One off the reasons I didn't want to touch it was because of all the manga I had downloaded on it.

It was such a lag fest. Waking the tablet and loading up chrome with 3 or 4 tabs open would take forever if not lag out other apps or cause them to crash. That was what I had to deal with. All I ever had running in the background was chrome and mangareader

I'll bet money that there were other apps running in the background that you didn't notice. It's very common problem with even expert Android users and is easy to overlook.

What model of Shield do you have?

Afaik there was always one tablet made and no variants.

I dont think it was a lot of background tasks either as I run with half the google trash disabled and dont install a lot of stuff.. I dont even have games on it. usage was 70% Manga reader and 30% video streamer.

I think Nvidia f**ked it by pulling further support for it to it wont even get Oreo officially. They never even came out with a newer tablet and i dont think they will for a few years if anything.

Amazing phablet.
Me too. Loved it friday when it arrived. But it started to install one firmware update after another (5 waves) and then it bricked. Been trying to get it working the whole weekend... no way, it's going back. I will not let it update so fast :banghead:

Im sorry for your loss -- I went through wave after wave of these firmware updates too but i got lucky i guess... I thought they werent installing properly at first hence the continuous wave. Best send yours back for a refund i think or contact Lenovo support

They made a couple of variants, but only a couple. That model has a great custom rom from CyanogenMod/LineageOS. Go check it out.

erixx · Jun 21, 2018

Today i received notice that RMA (for bricking during updates) is accepted and a new Tab 4 Plus has been send to me :rockout:

Is there a way to turn my phone off so it doesn't listen to me and direct its ads towards me? I mean seriously this thing is listening to me and its annoying. Its an LG G6.

Root, and disable/freeze/remove the offending app. You'll have to figure out which app is causing the problem. AdAway and a good firewall will go a long way to solving these problems.

Another Shield K1 Owner here. I am super displeased that Nvidia decided to drop support for the tablet. It is an absolutely awesome piece of hardware. Sad to see that they wont upgrade it to even 7.1.1 to fix half the bugs of Vanila 7.0

Durvelle27 · Jul 14, 2018

Picked up a Nabi Big Tab HD 20 for $10. The size at 20” is amazing and the specs are great but it sucks that Nabi only updated it to KitKat. Which doesn’t make sense as the specs can easily handle Marshmallow or above being powered by a Nvidia Tegra 4

The good new however is that Google has committed to supporting 4.4 until 2020 in th Google Play store, but even after that most apps will still work as long as they use DALVIC and the now current versions of A.R.T.. So you'll still get some decent life out of it. Enjoy!
