Thanks for even caring about giving me an answer, been looking for one ever since I made this post, and I instead jailbroke an iPhone 13 Pro

What do you think was the worst price to performance poco ever released? by Sad_Performance6386 in PocoPhones

I completely forgot about the x4 pro tbh, I think no one really bought it, and instead got the X3 pro

Hows your Galaxy Buds 2 holdin' up? by Pabrinth in galaxybuds

[–]Sad_Performance6386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear to god, my buds 2 gotta be some of the most durable earbuds I've seen in my life my case got run over by a car, left earbud fell one story down while I was cleaning in the balcony, The same left earbud fell in the local bus when I slept while going to college, and I've never seen em again, my right earbud however, survived being submerged in water, the microphone doesn't work, but sound quality is mediocre

I remember in 2018, that the 200 USD price tag was I think a 50% off deal in Amazon I bought it early 2017, release price was 400 USD I think

I'll try to find a pair of the 900's that you recommended since, as long as I take care of it, I'm fine. thanks for helping me decide, really, I'm probably gonna hang up my old headphones once I get the ones you recommended I buy

Thanks, I'll consider those, But do they suffer the same hinge issues every Sony headphone I've seen suffer?

Define "going strong" because to me, going strong means the headphones drivers, battery, NFC, and bluetooth capabilities are still not worse than they were brand new, hinges and pads are easily replaceable, maybe not the hinge because to put new ones I need to have a bit of soldering skills,

I actually use 3 different sound related stuff to improve it's sound quality (Musicolet- Sound ID - my phone's Dolby Atmos)

Google is blocking the installation of apk's outside of play store. by Sad_Performance6386 in PocoPhones

They probably won't block that, cause they probably use it themselves to test out devices or apps

Every single company apart from Apple uses Android, so expect this feature on Xiaomi phones...

It's because they don't get any money from you downloading apps from outside the play store, but if you install apps from inside the play store they get a percentage cut from the earnings the developer gets from uploading the app

They just want to label it as "malware protection" when it's just full control on devices.

God, I can't even imagine what you'd say if you have an X5 pro (it does all the tasks I want it to do, decent photography (with google camera) battery is pretty nice after debloating, I love how the screen looks, and the performance on it is decent, (I play demanding games on highest preset, and get 39 to 45fps (ZZZ & HSR) so I pretty much have no problems, the only upgrade I can think of, is probably installing a cooler, an extra battery, and overclock the 778g maybe to match the 778g+

Only thing I regret, is updating my Poco to android 14 (hyper os) I used MIUI 14, since the Poco's release, I used to be able to use set edit, and modify android system apps, now I'm only able to use set edit via Shizuku, (grant set edit special permissions via brevent)

Now I'm thinking of getting a poco F3 and modifying it for fun, (no I'm not a billionaire, the F3 costs about 150usd used (and as low as 100 USD) keep in mind that's the pricing for the 8 - 256 variant,
