The upgrade of mobile phone brands is also very fast, and various new mobile phones are released, which is dazzling. The epidemic has been going on for three years, the economic environment is not very good. I want to change to a new mobile phone though I am a bit reluctant lol. It is estimated to be around US$300. Having seen the POCO X5 will be released, equipped with Snapdragon 695 chip and AMOLED screen, which is the configuration I want. Feel like the price would meet my expectations. How much are you willing to spend on a new phone?

I was getting a tad fed up with the number of anal and pedantic rules cropping up at r/android. I'm glad someone took the initiative to create this subreddit. Clearly, I'm not the only one who feels this way as we have 617 subscribers already (within a day). Let's make this place interesting fellow Android lovers!

The sidebar says it all. This is a subreddit for general discussion about anything and everything Android. Here there are no stupid questions.

The majority of the moderation in this /r/ shall be carried out by you, the users, using the vote system. Upvote relevant, quality content. Downvote low quality content.

This sub has been around a while, but has never really been posted in. Consider it a blank canvas for all your Android related posting.

So Reddit is always encouraging users to root their phones but often hostile when asked how to do it, so I'm compiling a bunch of comprehensive guides to rooting some of the most popular Android phones out right now. Feel free to request one if it's missing.

Remember that misfollowing these instructions could cause problems and I'm not responsible for you bricking your device. That said, if you're having problems, please comment.

I'd like to start off by saying thanks for this subreddit. It's a place where we can actively discuss all things Android, something r/Android was supposed to be. But the rules there have become absurd. Overly-enforced. Like the cop that fined the kid for selling lemonade.

I try to help by posting a faster mirror that took me ages to upload due to my snail internet. What do I get? Banned. WTF? I try to help others, and get banned. I'm sorry, this just doesn't make sense.

For now, I'll be staying in this sub, where one can freely discuss anything Android, the way it was meant to be. Once again, thanks to the creator, supporters, and active redditors of this sub.

UPDATE: They're banning me

It appears r/Android practices Zero APK Tolerance. My wife's phone downloaded the APK that just got torn down by Android Police. So I posted it. The post was removed in 15 minutes. If you cannot see the text of the submission here it is:

The file is actually public. Google have been pushing it for two days already. If you check the comments on Google Play you'll see a lot of people already got the update:

The launch happens in 3 hours.

I created this post hoping that we could have a blow-by-blow discussion of the HTC One release as it happens. Maybe, we could make this a regular feature of this subreddit for phone/tablet launches.

What do you think r/androidusers? Does the HTC One have what it takes to make a dent?
