Surely they could have chosen a better sound that what I can only electrically describe as scraping a stranded wire against a metal surface. :/<span class=""><br>

Hmm. Have you checked your "Sound" menu in "Settings"? In my CM 10<br>
(Android 4.4) phone, there's a "Screen lock sound" box. When it is<br>
checked, the speaker pops on screen lock/unlock. When it is unchecked,<br>
the phone is silent. Surely they haven't _removed_ this feature in later<br>
versions?<br>

Just a quick note. I don't know if it works, haven't tried yet, but<br>
WiFi calling seems to be baked into Marshmallow on the 5x. The 5x<br>
has been great so far. The only real complaint I have is the<br>
speaker pop on powering on/wake up. I know, nit-picky... I was<br>
tempted by blu, one+, and UMI. But couldn't pull the trigger on<br>
those just yet. Perhaps in a next two to three years. :)<br>

I'll throw in here too. I've been researching phone options for a<br>
couple of weeks since the wife lost her [Sony Xpera] phone in the<br>
home theater seats and the screen got cracked and the digitizer<br>
hosed and I'm still learning about new brands I've never heard of,<br>
like the UMI mentioned above. From my quest, I have learned that<br>
there a quite a number of tier 2 manufacturers that offer quite a<br>
lot of bang for the buck. There are several quite impressive<br>
offerings in the ~$300-400 range including the likes of One+ 3,<br>
but the UMI Super is quite close in specs to the One+ for only<br>
$200, pretty amazing!<br>
<br>
We're with T-Mobile, but don't get good reception at home, so rely<br>
on their WiFi calling feature. I am not confident enough to try a<br>
custom ROM install plus, I suspect we would lose the WiFi calling<br>
feature if I did a CM or such. We just ordered a 32GB Nexus 5X on<br>
Friday (which I assume will not come with WiFi calling) from<br>
Amazon for $279 with the thought of taking it to Google Fi, if the<br>
T-Mobile Extended coverage doesn't work for home calling. It was<br>
ordered Prime, but delivery is not till 9/2, presumably because it<br>
will be shipping with Nougat installed.<br>
<br>
In summary, I find that one can get tons more performance and<br>
features on an Android phone for WAY less money than on iPhone.<br>
With performance going up and prices coming down continually, [at<br>
a $200 price point] it seems to me that they are pretty much<br>
becoming throw away devices after the expected 2-3 year useful<br>
life. When you think of the thousands of $ we have all spent on<br>
computers over the years that are no longer supported, $100-200<br>
per year in today's dollars for such impressive technology isn't<br>
so bad.<br>

Thanks for the offer, wish I had seen it earlier. I ended up<br>
getting a Nexus 5X from Fry's on sale.<br>

I'd recommend the onePlus3 if you are looking in the $300<br>
rang phone with pretty much flagship features and a<br>
vanillish Android OS.<br>
If you want to spend even less, with higher specs and a<br>
5.5" diagonal screen, the UMI Super or Umi Max is an<br>
excellent value.<br>
I bought a super for my daughter at a promo price of $189,<br>
and it has 4gb ram, 32GB of storage, expandable to 128GB.<br>
Marshamallow (Androd 6) and no bloat.<br>
If you want a good deal on a new, in the box T-Mobile<br>
HTC10, I have an extra that I found I didn't need, and is<br>
looking for a home.<br>

Without knowing what features you prioritize and your<br>
carrier, It's hard<br>
to offer meaningful suggestions. Personally, I'm<br>
pretty happy [1] with<br>
the Sony Z3 Compact I picked up a couple of months<br>
ago. It's small but<br>
not low-end, Sony is still supporting it, and plays<br>
nicely with<br>
Cyanogen.<br>
<br>

Sorry about that. I'm on T-Mobile. It needs only to make<br>
calls,<br>
tether, navigation and most importantly as close to<br>
vanilla android as<br>
possible. I have a work phone from sprint that is just<br>
embarrassingly<br>
stuffed with bloat-ware, a lot of which cannot be<br>
uninstalled. I have<br>
maybe 2 other apps over stock installed. I'm usually<br>
around a full<br>
computer, so browsing on a 4.7" screen isn't very palatable.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
