[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pierceye:
We are getting close to our upgrade period and figured I'd ask the community about their opinions on the current crop of Android phones out there. What would you guys be upgrading to if you were up for one in the next thirty days or so? MIUI supported would be optimal for me. So what do you guys think?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
If you just HAVE to go now...I'd get the galaxy S II. Though still eligible, I'd wait a lil bit because a slew of phone are coming out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbenney:
i'd wait til the LTE phones start coming out later this year. im not up for upgrade til later this year so my timing should be perfect, but even if i were up for one now id wait... im still happy with my EVO.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moreno4xl:
Word on the Block is to wait till some time later this year for LTE technology, smart investment!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aburgthing:
I agree with the above remarks. I've been eligible for an upgrade since last April but the phones I would upgrade to were missing something. The Epic Touch initially had a LOS issue (not sure if that's been cleared up) but the best choice IMHO if you just had to pull the trigger now. The Evo 3D was a disappointment (just not what I was looking for), the Photon had the locked bootloader and the rest of Sprint's offerings were junk. Since they took our Premiere Gold and I'm going to be wed to my upgrade for two years, I want my "next" to be a huge upgrade over my Evo (which is hanging in there thanks to XDA). However, the current rumors are a little disconcerting e.g. new phones coming out with no removable battery, no micro SD slots and not unlockable. We'll see what the future holds but in a word like whats been already said, probably better to flash a new ROM and/or a different launcher until early summer to see the new crop of next gen. devices with ICS pre-installed and LTE radios.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbenney:
+1

as far as the bootloader goes, there is no such thing as a phone thats not hackable. if its controlled by software someone will figure it out in time. I also am waiting for LTE phones. This forum has brought a new life and love for my evo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
I'd recommend. The epic touch 4g I'm. Waiting til the 2nd gen lte. Phones as so far very. Select cities will have lte this year so far round one is Texas, cali areas. Round. 2 for. This year is Miami west Palm and Orlando and round 3 is new england Area so lte won't. Do me anygood plus. I want to wait til they. Have more time to work out the kinks with lte, if you are in a wimax area. WiMax. Will. Be supported through the 3rd to 4th quarter of 2015 and the epic touch is an awesome phone very solid. Device fast as hell and a beautiful screen and great hardware it will. Be seeing an official ota for ICS around mid April and cant be beat as far as other devices. Available now it's. Even better screen and hardware in. General than the Gnex et4g has samoled+ vs sampled. On Gnex. Better exynos. Cpu and better cameras. If you absolutely have to have lte which may not be available in your area for atleast a year then by all means wait but.if your not in a listed. LTE area I'd. Get the et4g and have a great phone while waiting for lte. To. Become. More. Available and the. LTE. Devices have time to become more. Deveolped

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pierceye:
Thanks for the input everyone. I'm not dissatisfied with my Evo in the overall, but I do think that it's hardware is starting to develop some issues that are making it more and more difficult to use. I'm also not necessarily going to stick with Sprint. I like our unlimited data, but data speeds here are a joke. So, what about phones not on the Sprint network?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyperez0:
I love my EVO. Especially after I intalled ICS. I see less reason to get a new phone.

But if I chose to "upgrade", my choices would be:

1: Samsung Galaxy Note (Has that bigger screen that made us love EVO's in the 1st place.)

2. Samsung Galaxy SII (Just because its a powerhouse)

3. Galaxy Nexus (Because its pure Google.)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antwan*:
I would wait until around summer to get a good picture of what's out there and what is to come. I'm assuming Sprint LTE will be a go by then.

Regardless though, my upgrade would have to be from HTC and be better than my Evo in just about every way, I'm not going to compromise. The Galaxy Note looks great, however the build quality leaves a lot to be desired. Honestly, the only thing Samsung really has on HTC's phones is the screen and camera quality.

I'm hoping we get something like the One X on Sprint.

As for support, I won't be too worried about bugs/dev support seeing as how pretty much every major flagship HTC phone has amazing support.

Wish list: Quad core, 720p SAMOLED HD+ like quality display 4.7in+, latest camera tech, replaceable battery, etc...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] souleman:
Unless you live in a major city, I wouldn't hold out just for LTE. With the issues that have been going on, it's going to be a while before its full rolled out. Unless we can get roaming on Verizon's LTE network. Chances are, for most people, you will be upgrade eligible again before LTE hits your area anyway.

That said, I agree with what others have been saying. I've been eligible for upgrade since October, and just haven't seen anything worth getting into a new contract for. Any of the new phones out are not enough of an upgrade to make it worth being locked into that phone for 2 years.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Samsung has great build quality ppl associate weight with build quality which is unfair my dad and I both have samsungs now,I have the et4g he has the note both are far better quality than my evo or his evo3d the next best build quality goes to Motorola if you haven't noticed ppl complain about samsungs being plastic. News flash all phones are made of plastic because metal builds have tons of issues with the metals causing reception issues my et4g unlike my evo fits together perfectly has no gaps around the battery door no light leakage around the screen the screen is perfectly straight unlike my evo where when looked at closely the screen was at a slight angle under the digitizer, I had an intercept before my evo its build quality left something to be desired but it was also a budget device their high end phones now are very well built and they now have excellent support as they have really stepped up and listened to their customers after the og epic debacle

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rashvin:
Guys,i just recently rooted my phone & i am using No-Frills CPu

I changed my settings..Is it safe?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NamNamNom:
It depends on what you did. If you decreased your cpu level your phone is going to be laggy. If you increased it to over 1.2GHz then your battery is going to drain faster
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rashvin:
I've increased my CPU Speed..I don't mind about the battery..But is it safe?:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3signr:
If your phone is operating as it should at 1.2Ghz then it should be safe. Just keep an eye on the stability and temperature and you'll soon know if over-clocking at that speed is good for your device or not.
[General Topics] apatal:
I've recently started using custom ROMs, kernels and other mods and my phone is just pure awesomeness. However, we have lots of talk about benchmarks and performance. On the one hand, we have talented folks like bedalus doing all the hard work for us and sharing his findings in the community. On the other, we have excellent developers like the CNA main man saying "I don't really pay attention to benchmarks". And I believe they are both awesome dudes and their opinions will always be respected in the community, but for us regular dudes, I just want to know: Do you think the better performing ROMs/kernels in benchmarks are the best, or for you, does user experience trump any test results that anyone may come up with. Hit the comments and let's make this a friendly exchange of opinions. ;)
[General Topics] zelendel:
All bench mark tests can be fooled with a few tweaks to a rom. There have been tons of threads and articles about this. Benchmarks mean almost next to nothing when compared to real world use. I can give you rom that scores over 9000 on Benchmarks but still lags like crazy everywhere.
[General Topics] deviatesaw:
User experience for me, I never benchmark my devices. You kind of get the "feel" of it after 20 minutes of playing.
[General Topics] thebobp:
Benchmarks are more for devs to find possible areas of improvement (so I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm just ignoring them). They are not, however, the end-all-be-all. User experience is always the final arbiter.

(Well, I guess is depends on what you're asking exactly, since users are so fickle they choose Coke when it's branded and Pepsi when it isn't, but in general, the user is who is being targeted here.)

[General Topics] Bhaponk:
i think the best to scoring is the user experience, because the bench usually use the tweaks from the rom, sometimes the tweaks not work and make the device run slowly,

just in my opinion
[General Topics] glacierguy:
User experience and I think speedtest.net app is pretty accurate.
[General Topics] MaBlo:
User experience all the way, benchmarks are pretty much useless. Except 3d performance benches, like Nenamark and GLBenchmark. But mostly to compare different devices or OC and such.
[General Topics] slimslim:
User experience, day to day use.
[General Topics] xFilipe:

[General Topics] HelloDominick:
It's all about User Experience to me, Although having a good benchmark score, that really doesnt prove nothing to user.
[General Topics] monsterduc1000:
Definitely user experience. I went from cm7 to cm9 nightlies on my Nexus S and the user experience of the modified ics rom that cm9 provides is much more satisfying than that of cm7. Cm7 benchmarks much higher than cm9, but cm9 is much smoother and feels just as fast for games and other apps.
[General Topics] 4thMARCH:
User Experience for sure~
[General Topics] vhick:
For me, i much pay attention in user experience. I found many custom roms that other user say that "its working fast!", but when I try it, I found it laggy and to many FC's. For me, smooth experience roms is next to speed roms.
[General Topics] foxymyeung:
Benchmarking... hard cold facts. Too many times people get persuaded by false promotions and the placebo effect happens.

Sure there are certain tweaks that can falsify the benchmark tests... but that's why you run like 3-4 different benchmark tests and run them a few times and take an average. Don't think people could code ROMS that beat all benchmark tests...

Plus what would the benefit to the coder or ROM creator be to waste extra time coding for that? I think as a ROM builder your looking at improving the overall performance of your own system...
[General Topics] I Am Marino:
The two can run hand in hand.

If a benchmark is not cheated, it generally will show you how good your device is running which can lead to a good user experience.
[General Topics] breaderic:
user experience is more important :D
[General Topics] Ebuk:
Both

I just put a new ROM on my SGSII, and I'm feeling it... laggy. I read hundreds of posts about that new ROM and almost everyone swears that is the best ROM ever, and just some outcast voices doesn't agree.

I thought maybe is just a question of objectivity. But I have nothing to compare, because it's my first room and definitely better than stock rom. But I don't get the feeling that is such a great ROM. So I'm looking for a benchmark test to compare performance on my phone with the phones of the other users. Maybe I flash wrong, maybe I'm such a noob. But in this case I want to do a Benchmark to know where do I stand.

Is the user feeling I'm getting the same as the other people, maybe I'm too picky. That why I need and objective test... maybe a benchmark will do.

And later, I'll try a new ROM

By the way, I apologize for my terrible english. Good luck to you all.

Numbers may speak a statistic but user feedback tells the whole story.

[General Topics] mikevaldivieso:
def gotta go with user experience on this one, i remember running roms that scored high on the benchmark but were extremely glitchy, slow, and fc every single day..but im not saying dont dismiss them, benchmarks DO display the processing speed of the phone, and max capability, but if it's glitching and doesnt feel good/run well, no matter how how the rom scores on the benchmark, im ditching the rom
[General Topics] mockabv:
user experience for sure:) , i like only one benchmark test and that is vellamo from qualcom inc. in my opinion its shows you the real value
[General Topics] jairo.serrano:
i dont make any sense with benchmarks sometimes amazings scores happens but for day to day the custom rom its crap :(
[General Topics] wvy:
As you are the one who's going to use the phone, your user experience is the most important and doesn't depend on benchmarks.
[General Topics] burtfurkurl:
The high benchmarks might make u fell good, but if the phone fc's a lot it's a pain so user experience!
[General Topics] The Janitor Mop:
Its all about user experience. Im running the smoothest Sense ROM ive ever used, and strangely i get lower benchmarks than most others ive used.
[General Topics] OmegaRED^:
The info in my sig is the best of both worlds combined.

The trick is to find the mid point.

The rom developer understood one thing... the mid point.

I hope you are reading this.
[General Topics] sebxtreme:
I'm agree. Benchmark tests can be fooled. So,IMHO, I don't care about benchmark's results. I think that user's experience is more important.
[General Topics] s0ja:
Yeah, usability is way more important than performance.
[General Topics] Denton.S:
Benchmarks are fun, thats about it though. It's cool to tweak my settings then run Quadrant to see the fps go up, but I don't pay any attention to it. If my phone is stable and working well I'm happy, to be benchmarks are just a better way to pass the time the angry birds ever was.
[General Topics] tinotinotino:
My experience is that the hardware spec only align to the performance if you can flash your rom. Never ever buy phone that you can not unlock the bootloader yourself. (F you Sony!)
[General Topics] CillBlinton:
User experience by far. Benchmarks are fun to look at, but in the end it's the smoothness that matters
[General Topics] MR4Y:
Main problem is that benchmarks can introduce bias towards opinions. People tend to believe a little more in data charts than practical experience. Not saying that benchmarks are bad, but you should test stuff yourself every opportunity you have.
[General Topics] CataVlad:
hm. i kinda felt until now that my S2 quadrant results were preety much in accordance with its performance. when i installed new roms and i had a 4200-4400, i really felt i was a lil faster. when i got 3000-3400, it seemed to be performing a lil slower. but ur comments will definately make me reconsider :) thanks

i think userexperience is more important than benchmarks.

i tryed out some roms. they had good benchmarks. but for me the performance feels not so good.

It depends what GPU you have really as well as your phone.

[General Topics] death_to_zero:
user experience for me since we cannot see what the device can do based on the benchmark numbers and yes it can be tweak to change some results - my 2 cents
[General Topics] bumsock:
User experience. Sure every time I purchase a new phone I run the usual benchmark apps.. I'm not even going to bother naming them because I'm sure everyone here has used them enough. Its fun to see what your phone can do against other phones benchmark wise when its new.. Or using it as a baseline when you're tweaking things but in the end.. User experience. Scrolling smoothly through the home screens and apps opening up quickly does it for me. That's the 1 thing I do like about the iphones UI, super smooth (usually )
[General Topics] DirtyTooth:
Definitely user experience. Although I don't totally ignore benchmarks either. They're mostly useful when comparing device vs device and not so much rom vs rom. To me, anyways.

Basically I see benchmarks as only one aspect of a phone/rom, where the user experience is the whole picture.
[General Topics] Griffiths_Anna:
I preferred user experience.. cause i was already experience that if the benchmark was low.. the graphics were still smooth.. even if I played Hd game.. like gangstar rio.. just don't

[General Topics] Zorigo:
Got a fairly low benchmark score on my rom, it is over double the stock rom but not particularly high or what ive seen other people running my phone can do.

But my phone runs fantastically smooth and can play high end games nicely. I used to care about benchmarks, now i just kind of acknowledge them but no they are not the be all and end all of a roms capability.
[General Topics] op-war:
occasionally the benchmarks do not display all the power of the phone but are useful
[General Topics] mido hamdy:
for me user experience .
[General Topics] netarchy:
I've found benchmarks useful for verifying changes as I work on a kernel, but my overall baseline has always been user experience.

Sure, it's a nice epeen boost to hit ridiculous benchmark scores, but if it's at the expense of a nice overall feel, it's really not worth it. It's like saying "Yeah, my ui is choppy as hell, but hey, I got a wicked quadrant!"

I'd rather have consistently good real world performance with benchmarks that aren't the absolute best, than a benchmark destroyer that's annoying to use day to day.
[General Topics] bjoswald:
User Experience for sure. Although I appreciate some benchmarks (I/O schedulers and CPU governors) because they give a good baseline of where to start tweaking.
[General Topics] PureLogic:
benchmarks help a lot in development but user experience reflects more of the real world performance.

It's the experience what is best for me. Benchmarks sometimes varies differently. Experience is the best learning process.

I agree with PureLogic, user experience for us regular folks, and benchmarks for developers.
[General Topics] Allanitomwesh:
If I listened to user experience I'd have a Blackberry .

Two things,specsheet,build quality.

Benchmarks are most useful if you intend to game(and who doesn't?) So yeah, I trust them,on roms some do cheat, but on the most part good benchmarks do rub off.

i9000 kernels

my old i9000 is happy enough on CM9 nightlies, and i recently did a little tour of the most popular kernels to see how they are. I tried Glitch, Semaphore, Devil and Midnight, and i found Glitch to be best for me. It doesnt have as many cool features as the others, but wipes the floor in terms of battery life and performance.

I do think finding "the best" setup is highly personal and depends what you do with the phone. I tend to leave the OC/UV settings etc as they come and just see how the developer did at making the defaults awesome up your phone
