The iPhone 5 has a well know battery fault. Apple has a free replacement program for it too. I sold mine for 17k in July. It had its battery replaced and overall body was 6/10, but it had a box and cable too.

it went for 13k just phone
the buyer was such a PITA he checked the phone in every possible manner and even tried a replacement battery
i bought a g900F but im unable to transfer my iphone's data via smart switch

@s15 yaar ye J5 kay custom roms ka koi scene nhi hai abhi tak

Sent from my SM-J500G using Tapatalk

Most budget Samsung phones have very less custom ROM support because of having multiple variants, so custom ROM for one variant is not fully compatible with its other variants, so people are reluctant to do that.

I myself did a lot of work in Custom ROMs development in past, but they are useless for latest devices I can assure you, they are based on outdated firmwares (as they cannot be updated) and have bugs, major security vulnerabilities that cannot be patched by ordinary ROM developer. Moreover, KNOX security feature is also tripped on modifications.

Now app hibernation system is also available in stock ROM. So Greenify or root access is not needed.

Best stick to stock ROM or just root it and make desired changes (like install apps to MicroSD card) and keep manually updating the software to latest versions via Odin and then re root it.

Any specific issues you are facing? Wipe cache partition from recovery btw.

How to Wipe cache partition on Samsung devices. Applicable on all Samsung devices.

https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-clear-galaxy-s5-cache

It takes 30 seconds to do that. It does not delete any data, but it fixes 95% issues of slow performance, lagging and other problems.

I did the same today, when i was having some lagging issues and restarting phone did not help. Just took phone battery out, reinserted it after 30 seconds wait and then wiped cache partition. Problem solved [emoji4].

You can try that too, it will bring improvements.

Any experience with bytes.pk

Mixed experiences.

If you want to buy online, then you can get Meizu M2 (AKA as Meizu M2 mini on AliExpress) from AliExpress in ~11000/-.

Great 13MP camera and good 5MP front camera.
Great performance and 2GB RAM.
Good battery timings.
5 inch good HD (720p) resolution display.
Dual sim 4G support, but it has hybrid secondary slot.
Compass.
16GB ROM.
Expandable storage upto 128GB.

It has very good reviews on YouTube by professional reviewers and Meizu is one of the top Chinese brands.

It costs exactly same as the overrated Infinix Hot2 and offers a lot more features and quality than Infinix Hot2.

The above Meizu M2 is for those who want a great value for money smartphone in least price (~11000/-). It can be purchased via AliExpress.

Moreover, I kept Meizu M2 for a week and found it to be just more than awesome!.

Lol when it comes to iPhones, all buyers are like that.
Anyway, how did you back up your data from the iPhone? iTunes backup?
If so, I don't think you can use Smart Switch to restore it.

Any Infinix Note 2 LTE users among fellow Pakwheelers? If so, can you please give me your insight regarding this phone? Pros & cons? Anything at all?

Yar mujha koi 6 Months ho gye han mobiles ke peecha bhagta (running) hue, kbi koi psand ata ha tu kbhi koi!

First Huawei 4C Lite, then Infinix Note 2, then Galaxy J5, then Huawei P8 Lite, then HTC 626 & 820 Phablet, then Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 (which I couldn't find anywhere in Pakistan!) then Lumia 640XL, then Noir Z10, and now I'm considering Infinix Note 2 LTE!

Note 2 LTE ke specs achi han, aur price bhe buhat kam ha... But since Infinix has no dealership in Pakistan, I'm concerned about it's warranty claim...

AB MA KIA KRU?!!

Yar phle sirf Nokia tha tu decision buhat asan tha! N ya E Series lay lo chup kr ke. But now... Well, don't ask!

Daraz.pk is official distributor for Infinix. Warranty claim will be done through them, if necessary.
Nobody has had a bad experience so far.

Initial impressions > (https://youtu.be/fPXN9pXj5fQ) Review should follow soon.
This guy reviews most phones that our market comes across so give him a sub. Pretty thorough reviews.

From what I've heard.
I know many people (on PW and PG) who have ordered Infinix devices from Daraz and all are pleased with their experience.

Enable USB debugging.
Install USB drivers on your PC.
Exit any other conflicting apps.
Connect the phone and it should detect it.

Smart Switch works fine on my S6.

Daraz.pk is the sole distributor of Infinix phones, provides official warranty and also bears shipping charges when you send back items for warranty claims. They provide good after sales service, so no worries about that.

But don't forget the fact that Infinix is a highly overrated brand and its too soon to judge their overall quality. Most people overlook its flaws and nitpick the top brands. Its new brand here so nobody knows about their long term quality.

Remember, there is no universal perfect option, every phone has its own strengths and weaknesses and the decision depends on your requirements. Just prioritise your major requirements in sequence and then filter out other options.

Very true see my example I bought XIAOMI Redmi Note 2 after lot of search in market, and googling on forums. It's unbelievable phone in each and every aspect but don't know whether other users of XIAOMI Redmi Note 2 faced this issue or not (as I didn't find anyone on internet quoting this problem) but I faced it And that is DUST PARTICLES PENETRATING inside front camera through earpiece holes . although a very pity issue but its a great example that nothing in this world is perfect

@crossfirex Brother, may I ask how & where did you find a Xiaomi Smartphone in Pakistan? I've been looking for them everywhere but no luck...
Daraz.pk is selling some Xiaomi Accessories and that's it... No smartphones whatsoever.
@s15 Yes, I'm being a little too over cautious, it's idiocy! You're spot on, nothing is perfect in the world of smartphones. Well, except a flagship! You get what you pay for after all!
Thing is, 15-20k range Smartphone market is so competetive, it boils your head like an egg!
Brother, since you know a great deal about Smartphones, can you advise me regarding the pros & cons of Qmobile (Qyuun Mobile). Do they still have spotty quality like before or have they become reliable/durable overtime?
That Z10 is pretty stylish, with premium fit and finish and ultra slim body! And specs aren't too shabby either!
