[Eee Pad Transformer General] Goatshocker:
mate, no one is denying the RR/SOD issue.

But it isnt as bad as you claim it to be. Horndroid pretty much nailed it.

Some have it a lot, some have it very rarely.

The majority (the silent crowd) doesnt have it often enough to actually care much about it. Its the few people who have it a lot more that runs around screaming that the sky is falling, making the issue look more severe than it actually is.

My TF currently has a 97.5h uptime without the slightest hickup.

So lets pretend my tablet would freeze/reboot once every 100h.... Is that really such a terrible thing that the tablet wouldnt be usable? I think not. Windows crashes far more often than that.

That said, Ive had plenty of RR/SODs. But the tablet has never run less than 60h between them.

And lets not forget that the absolute most RR/SODs happens during sleep. So if youre scared the battery will be empty when you wake up/come home - plug in the charger before going to bed/work/whatever. Problem solved.

Also, ignoring someone because they are right is just plain ignorant.

Yes, you are obviously one of the few who has the RR/SOD a lot, but also one of those who runs around screaming the sky is falling...

@OP. YES, there is a RR/SOD issue in ICS, but its NOT as severe as jtrosky claims. Listen to horndroid instead.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
Again, it's all about expectations... If you are ok with the possiblity of random reboots or SOD's then by all means, use ICS!

For me, just the fact that it CAN happen and DOES happen is reason enough to stay away.

Again, if the infrequent random reboot and/or SOD doesn't bother you, then ICS will be perfect for you!

And believe me, that's not the the only reasons I've decide to block @horndroid.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seano666:
I am one of those that hardly ever has any of these bad problems. With stock ICS never had ANY probs. Now running CM9 Megatron and overclocking to 1.5 I get maybe 1 random reboot a day. Tablet is as fast as my friend's TF Prime, well worth waiting 15 seconds for reboot once in a while.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tweaked:
No, its the only reason. You don't like that way he talks to ppl or about the ppl, who are having these issues, because you are one of them. I don't mean them derogatorily. Call it what it is man.:rolleyes:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bsoplinger:
Add me to category 2. Once when I went to user my TF it was completely dead. Another time in just overnight the dock was dead and the TF itself was at 18%. Otherwise I've not had any problems in about a month of usage. So I'd say something along the lines of you may be very unlucky and upgrade and have nothing but troubles but most likely you'll see little or no problems. And that's with about 500 (five hundred) apps installed.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mastibeta:
Anyone find a way to remove this annoying icon. I got it off one stock ICS leak, but now with a debloated rom and the addition of the ICS keyboard, it appears you can only have one keyboard installed in order to not see this icon. Thoughts?

*EDIT*

So it seems renaming the AxT9IME.apk to AxT9IME.bak solves this annoying icon issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
It still shows up even though I renamed that and rebooted. Hmmm.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mastibeta:
Which keyboard are you using. If you have a market kb installed you need to disable the ics keyboard as well. I am using ICS, so disabling the Samsung keyboard fixed it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
I'm using tablet Swype beta. I'll try disabling the stock one

Edit: that did the trick, thanks!

[HTC EVO 3D] cwhickey420:
Well just wanted to thank all the devs for making this device better and everybody else. I lurk mostly but, I'm always around and appreciate everyone here. I would of stayed but sprint low balled me and would not give me an early upgrade when my contract was opt out eligible so i jumped, I'll miss the 3d nice device that holds up pretty good even after almost a year release. Good luck on a speedy ics release, and if anybody is thinking about getting the galaxy nexus from sprint, don't waste your two year on it, its nice as hell but not a big enough jump up to blow your upgrade on. OK so nobody cares I'm out.
[HTC EVO 3D] knowledge561:
I feel ya. No point in getting the Galaxy Nexus anymore since another great phones are out. But in my opinion, im an AOSP guy so I would still probably get it but only on Verizon. Otherwise, I'd get the Droid Razr Maxx or Nokia Lumia 900. They're the only phones that have my attention.

[General Questions and Answers] w98seeng:
I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S and my contract is up in November, so I started to look around for another phone (I know, it's still 8 months away, but I am so excited.).

I love the idea of the Galaxy Note with the big screen and the S-pen. The Galaxy S lll is coming out and it is supposed to be the greatest thing since sliced bread and peanut butter.

I do not have a problem going with another manufacturer, but I have not found anything from someone else that compares to the Galaxy line-up. The HTC One X looks nice but it does not have a card slot which is a must for me.

In reality I do not need another phone as my Galaxy S has everything I need in a phone, but since I will get a phone at a discount with a 3 year plan, I figured, why not.

What phone do you have and how did you decide on that particular phone?

Ian
[General Questions and Answers] shmoejoe:
I always pick my phones because of design and not so much because of specs :)

My phone also has to feel good in my hands, so usually it has to be rather large (no mini phones) but not as large as a Note :). It also can't be too light, because I don't want to feel like I will break it if I drop it or touch a button too hard :P.

Currently I have an Xperia S, and as you can see by my shortlist in my signature, I have been drawn towards SE phones for awhile (mainly due to design, but specs come along with them).

I'm not saying specs don't matter to me, I just think it's more on the outside that counts. You mentioned the new HTC line, for example. I find HTC phones not....unique or eye catching.For the past few years, they all looked the same to me. There may be a quad-core inside, but in my eyes, its not impressive :).

My X1 caught my eye because of the metal body, my X10 caught my eye because of the shape and camera, and my S caught my eye because of the transparent bar/camera/form of the phone.

I have never been a min/max person, if it looks nice, can perform above average, and has some sort of unique feature that sets it apart from the others, I'm happy. :)

I decided that if i were to go android i would go nexus because of the updates (THANKS SAMUNG FOR UPDATING MY PHONE)

Specifications and design and brand.
[General Questions and Answers] w98seeng:
I am most sorry. I will endeavour in the future to comply with all forum rules. But for you to advise me to read the rules, I must say I never listen to upper management.

Besides, by saying "Failure to comply" make you sound like a Borg and I would hate to be assimilated at this point in the hockey season.
[General Questions and Answers] juwls305:
I'd say HTC. They always have good specs, good build quality, and good customer support even on there facebook page I see if a person has a problem HTC will reply to help. Look into the one series, beside the lack of SD card you do get an upgraded drop box account free when you get a HTC one device
[General Questions and Answers] satrax6:
I would say Samsung because they're the most dev friendly :)
[General Questions and Answers] NanoNoodle:
Firstly I look at the basic specs. So I look at the CPU. If I was getting a new phone now I would look for dual core. Then I'll look at the RAM, I want at least half GB of RAM.

Then I look at the features. I generally look at the camera, something with good audio (because I love music), and all the other very basic features.

Then I look at the design. Are the colors good? Is it comfortable to hold? Can it fit in my pocket?!

Then I Google if the phone has any bugs and if they are fixable.

Finally, I watch a video review on Youtube and see if people like it and if it works properly.

Oh I forgot. I would look for at least Android 4.x since I really like the look and feel of it.
[General Questions and Answers] ifrit723:
What i would decide on is:

Would you want a phone that can fit in your pockets?

Whether or not you would be happy with the product

A good CPU and amount of RAM on the phone

At least 1GHz with more than 512MB Ram

The Galaxy S III would be a great hit, however support of the note may die down when the S3 hits the market.

My phone, a Galaxy 551 (Almost out of support) isn't really supported anymore since last year.

I'm not sure of the customer service/support of HTC, but samsung usually focus's on the newest products only.
[General Questions and Answers] macmiles:
I tend to make my decisions based on factors such as performance, aesthetics, and battery life.

I'm also not particularly fond of the phones with huge oversized screens because I like to have a phone that is easy to fit in my pocket and also feels good to hold. With these factors in mind I ended up choosing the mt4g, but that was about a year ago. Phones have evolved quite a bit since than.
[General Questions and Answers] bylecosoft:
Now you need at least 1ghz processor and 512 MB RAM. But if you don't want to buy old phone, try looking for something with dual core and 1 GB of ram. When you find devices that meet those criteria, look for better battery, but remember, you will probably need to charge it every day.

EDIT:

And from my experience I strongly recommend something from HTC. Their software is amazing. Without all preinstaled apps from them, my android device wouldn't be the same. :)
[General Questions and Answers] 85gallon:
First I go for quality and proven performance.

Then I look at the other things from there.

I have almost always owned Motorola products since my first phone. A Motorola flip phone way back with Cellular One.

The one time I strayed was to an LG Envy Touch. Biggest mistake. Went to the Droid after I got rid of that piece of chit. I will sick with Motorola unless Google screws them up.

[General Questions and Answers] DizzyWorm:
Usually I just took what was on my contract but seeing now that I have a choice I mainly look at looks but must have atleast 1gb ram, 1.2 ghz dual core or more ie 1.5 ghz and 16gb or more internal memory. So I decided on the Sony xperia S looks really unique to me. And as a added bonus it has google play store and 4.3" screen so games will be awesome.

[General Questions and Answers] r3dcruz:
I suppose it's all about specs, size, cpu, screen type, bolt ons etc. I've, generally, always gone for size but I'm prepared to manage that & finally found it with the HTC1X & Galaxy Note..

I'm happy with Samsung & HTC as there's heaps of support on the forums for them. Phones like the SGS, SGS2, Note, SGS3 and various HTC will generally always have custom roms etc.

I went to a Wanamlite ICS rom for the SGS2 & when I got the Note the Stunner rom as I have no wish to stay with GB.
[General Questions and Answers] dante_07:
Well,I think that if you'll get a 3 years plain, maybe the most important can be the durability and fortitude. obviously, screen, processor and more are also important, but if you're happy with a Galaxy S, I don't believe that it be the most relevant for you
[General Questions and Answers] hackler007:
Before anything else, i wil list what i am looking for in a phone.

It can be anything, no reason is silly or irrelevant. It can be 'i want a flashy device to show off to my friends'.

O/S - Almost all O/s offers similar capabilities,so its purely individual.

Gaming - (requires Good CPU / GPU)

Multimedia

Camera / video capabilities

Size ( i dont want it bulky, PS : NOTE is huge but not bulky)

DISPLAY Preference ( this is the most selling aspect of any phone)

Brand

BUDGET

SUPPORT for that MOBILE ( Galaxy R beats the original S in specs, but Galaxy S has more support than any phone out there)

In My case i needed an android device, with good multimedia and imaging capabilities + spectacular screen from SAMSUNG which fits my budget. oh and it should be popular and should have good dev support. I chose Galaxy S ( well, not now its almost a two yr old phone)

hmmm i think u must install many programs thats starts up in the boot then the mobile becomes unresponsive at all or u can do remove some system files and make the rom unstable but at the same time u can able to enter recovery also :o so if he surrender and gives u back then u can install another rom ;)
