/jp/ - Otaku Culture

What kind of nerd doesn't have a phone?

sure, i got a moto g the phone for NEETs

No, the government spies on you that way.

>>12201509
Why is it the phone for NEETs?

Yes. I'm using superior chinese phone for gaming purposes.

>smartphones

I had a HTC one, but I stopped paying the bill and now I owe something like 64,000Y

Why do they still use flip phones?

>>12201525
Probably because it's cheap

>>12201919
Why would you need to play games on your phone? What are you 4 years old?

Smartphones are evil, avoid them.

>IS12T
The Windows Phone!? No thanks!!!

>>12201500
>Nokia still doesn't have japanese maps
>They wonder why they have 0.01% market share over there and had to pull out

Yea I got this LG G2. Convenient for doing your reps while commuting.

I have a Galaxy S4. I basically only use it for doing my reps and browsing /jp/.

Aye. I got an infobar a02 last year. It's my first smartphone, and it's pretty nice.

HTC one. it's been good to me. My last phone had a physical keyboard, I miss that. it's a shame that form factor is pretty much dead.

i have a sony xperia z1 compact. there's nothing very otaku about it. i put yuno's メイル alert sound effect from hidamari sketch on it as my notification tone though, i think it's kinda cute and not too stupid if it goes off in public (never).

I wish I was brave enough to have something like that as my wallpaper. But I'm usually not careful enough to hide it from my parents, and now that I've been forced out into the real world I have complete strangers to contend with.

>>12204878
Sometimes my mom calls me...

>>12204878
oh, and i changed the wallpaper to something weeb. i haven't done much with it overall though - it's my first smartphone and I didn't want to fuck it about with shitloads of apps and shit, so i pretty much removed everything i could.

fuck i don't even know if you'd still call it a smartphone, i just have it for shitposting, inconspicuous recording of school girls, and maps to get around japan. i don't know what I'll do with it when I get back home, it was pretty expensive. I'll probably keep using it for the better half of a decade like i did with my last phone. it just seems like overkill though.

>>12201500
No.

>>12204849
I love Roll.

>>12201504
I have a dumbphone, but the service has been cut off and I just use it as an alarm clock.

>>12201500
Yeah, an iPhone 5S on Softbank.

Softbank is number ワン！
>Dem 4G speeds
>Dat unlimited data plan

Probably switching to an Android based phone next, not sure yet, we'll see if the iPhone 6 interests me at all.

i dont have a smartphone
i have an ipod though. same shit as the iphone only i dont have to pay crazy bills.

>>12208948
Nyan...

>>12208948
Want to play chess? What's your Game Center thing

I have an iPhone 5s, mainly because all the girls that I met with online use WhatsApp, otherwise I would have bought an iPad for my games from the Japanese/Korean App Store.

I just got a Galaxy S5.

The only thing I ever do on it is play the love live mobage and shitpost on /jp/ though.

>>12201500
I don't. I am poor fag ;_;

>>12209278
What games?

>>12212329
I try almost every single game reviewed here http://app.steparu.com

But I play the most popular ones (Pazudora, Quiz RPG and Monster Strike) on my way to work on a daily basis.

>>12202787
Can confirm, you have the superior phone.

Do you guys watch animu on your smarthphone?
Mine is too shitty to not choke.

>>12213221
I can but some players don't show softsubs

>>12208805
just have your mom pay for it

my mom's been paying my cell phone bill for 15 years

>WP
No thanks

Android gives me the most functionality
Currently on the Nexus 5
Custom Codec and good GPU for video playback
IPS screen and high pixel density is great

>>12213520
Otaku in its truest form

>>12215810
But everyone says android is shit because nobody makes anything for it.

I really, really wanted to get the Nokia Icon but I don't want to deal with a million dollar contract from verizon. So I got a red nexus 5 and got ting.

>>12215810
I need to get around to ricing on my Moto X.

>>12215810
If only there was a simple guide to ricing somewhere and not just a pastebin that links to you several different websites, i'm too stupid for this

>>12216333
>>12216870
What does it mean to rice?

Yeah.

Had this one until few months ago. Now I have Lumia 520 as my first smartphone. I will never know Android.

a what?

>>12217783

rice = flash custom ROMs or create them yourself and put the on your phone. basically like a skin with some additional features that you could download for free back in the day for the old phones except here it's going to void your warranty and might disable your phone completely (bricked)

(Obsessive) customization. It's a term used on /g/ mainly in relation to desktops.

>>12217830
Yeah, you have no idea what ricing means or what custom ROMs are. They're completely unrelated and done for different purposes. You can rice a stock ROM, and most AOSP-based ROMs like CM or Omni aren't riced at all by default.

Also, custom ROMs are pretty fucking idiot-proof these days for the vast majority of phones, though in some cases you're right that they can void your warranty, but so does regular old SuperSU. With Xposed, there's not a lot of need for custom ROMs anymore anyway.

Is this one of you guys?

>>12218063
Yeah why?

>>12218063
Got a problem, faggot?

>>12217834
But rice is a plant.

>>12217783
A term first coined in the automotive culture referring to "Riced out" or "Rice burners" which are import tuners (Honda Mitsubishi etc) that modified their cars instead of buying domestic. While it always had a negative conotation, it began as mainly a domestic tuner term and eventually came to mean any car in general that was horribly modified for looks rather than performance ie body kits on a dead stock Honda Civic. It is now main stream enough where anything gaudily modified by its owner is called the derogatory term "riced out"

My guess when it comes to computers it could refer to all the blinky light fans people buy which are mostly poorly made and provide no additional CFM to cool the computer etc

>>12218170
My guess to phones the term "ricing" would refer to modifying the OS to be subjectively better looking without changing the major function of the phone itself.

>>12218063
That's a nice looking weather widget. Anyone know which one it is?

Cute!

I have a Nexus 4.

>>12201500
They're called ケータイ or スマフォ, nerd. Who the hell says 携帯電話?

>>12208929
iPhone 6?

Do you know if the rumors are true that it will even be bigger?

5S on Softbank crew.

Might switch to shitdroid later since I use Line more than iMessage now but apple maps is good.

>>12219097
Nobody says the kanji spelling of words, but it's not at all uncommon to see it written that way.

I've yet to get a phone. How much do you have to spend to get something decent?

>>12222931
Your soul and your privacy.

>>12222931
The Moto G is decent and can be had for $180, though I'd strongly suggest the $220 LTE version, especially considering it has a MicroSD slot. If you want something more futureproof, the Nexus 5 starts at $350.

>>12216182
that was about six years ago when it was still in its early buggy stages
It's a mature usersystem now and much more flexible than iOShit
>>12216870
Root your phone, use xposed framework modules like gravity box, use a launcher like nova, take your time to edit together custom backgrounds
(it takes some effort learning everything)
