I'm personally digging the HTC One series. As much as I love the One X, it may be too expensive for me and I think it's also on the bigger side that I'm sure you may not like as well.

The One S on the other hand are smaller and I would personally recommend it for you.

However, I don't think that now is the best time to buy an Android phone because there's not much choices out there for the newer generation of phones. Prices may drop when more newer phones are available on the market.

I'm rather interested at what the SGSIII specs will be when it is officially released.

Edit:

I'm sure 1GB of RAM would be enough for a lot of multitasking considering that we're doing okay with only 512MB(more like 150MB+) with the SGW. What concerns me though, are the fact that new phones like the HTC One series have non-removable battery and no external SD card slot. It would be a shame if all phones in the future has these.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] snwman:
Not worried about ram size, was internal memory was on about. But i see what ya mean by size of the phone. Also phone industry is always changing. You could by the best phone in the world today and in two weeks time something better is out. So im not to worried about that but as much as i hate samsungs strategy about there phones they make prob the best ones on the market.

SIII seems to be the flagship phone so and its ment to be released fairly soon..

Also price of the phone does not matter. On bill do most i think ill be payin is 200euro on the bill im on at the minute
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 2g11:
My advice would be if you don't need the latest and greatest,go for the GS2.But if you are prepared to wait,hold on till the Samsung announcement next month and they will definitely announce a smaller device along with the GS3...I think they are calling it the I9300...it will have the latest Exynos.Personally,I don't quite trust HTC yet,already there are lots of reports of issues with the One Series phones.Sony is still playing catchup for now,still using last year's hardware.I think for a really good Android experience keep tabs on the next generation superphones from Sammy.

What provider you with snwman......

Like you can see, I am with Tesco Ireland...cheap and cheerful....but, shyte phones!!!

I actually also like cheap and cheerful in phones, so, if I mess up, no big deal....

I am waiting for delivery from Amazon, of T-mobile Vivacity[TMV], for the Missus, it was only about £100...maybe €125....

It is basically a T-mobile branded ZTE Crescent (Blade II)....

but, like with all ZTE, there is an active modding community, on Modaco....

already they have ICS ROM's CM9, and AOKP [Kang]....

ZTE are also going to introduce a big new line of reasonably priced ICS phones this year, so be on the look-out....

Chinese [ZTE] are going to rule the World...OK

My first Android was the original Blade[Orange San Francisco]....and it was, and is, a treasure, so easy to flash and mod, none of this Kies or ODIN stuff, really stock Android......no overlays, like TW.

Keep an eye out for cheap and cheerful Chinese produced phones, is my advice!!

Personally, I like the look and spec of this ZTE Mimosa X

2012 ZTE range
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] snwman:
@Irishpancake I'm with meteor at the minute but can switch easily will look for the best deal.

I get impatient so I think I'll have to go try phones out. It's the end of may my contract is up so hopefully something comes up by then.

Be a hard choice. One thing is quad core phones necessary compared to a good duel core phone.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dirron86:
If you're not looking for the latest or fastest, I'd suggest getting something like the Nexus S or anything with Google Experience (or whatever you call it). I think it's worth because they most likely will have full support from google with the frequency of updates and everything.

I also remember reading something about Sony soon releasing source codes of their phones to the modding community so it's also something to take into account at least for me.

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] mohitawasthi:
Samsung Galaxy Fit is one of the most famous device which is known because of it’s affordability and great price. Galaxy Fit users can now enjoy Rooting the device, and due course of this article we will tell you how you can install Custom Recovery on your device after Rooting it..:)

Warning for Beginners:

Note: This is an rooting and installing process for the mobile phone named Galaxy Fit S5670 and has to be applied to the Mobile phone using the Recovery Mode in the mobile phone. The steps which are included in this guide are very risky and can even brick off your mobile phone. Unless you are aware with Custom ROMS, Firmwares and ODIN, don’t even try these things on your mobile phone..:cool:

Pre-Requisites to Root and Install Custom Recovery on your Samsung Galaxy Fit

The instructions are working for Samsung Galaxy Fit, S5670 Originally manufactured.

Backup all of your SMS Messages using SMS Backup Application.

Sync all of your Contacts with the Gmail Application.

Copy all of your notes manually to somewhere else, as if in case your mobile phone gets bricked these notes will be deleted from the mobile phone.

Take a backup of call logs, APN Settings, and other important things.

Charge your mobile phone so that it would be having more than 60% battery.

Now, enable USB Debugging Mode in your mobile phone (Settings > Applications >Development > USB Debugging).

Samsung Device drivers installed in your computer.

Follow all steps carefully in order to get 100% assured success.

How To Root and Install Custom Recovery on your Samsung Galaxy Fit

Note: We have written each and every step clearly in order to make the rooting process successful but if any wrong step is taken then Neither me nor thedroidnation.com will be held responsible in case your device gets bricked.

Download Odin, Rooting File and the OPS File from the links to your computer and move them to a new folder in order to prevent any confusions.

Turn off your mobile phone and bring the mobile phone to download mode (hold the Volume Down button + Home Key + Power Button and the device will start itself).

Now, Shoot up the ODIN executable file.

Click on the OPS Tab in the ODIN window and select the “BENI_v1.0.ops” file after that tick the “One Package” option and select the file “beni_cwm-5_ext4_v2“.

Connect your mobile phone to the computer, and wait for the device drivers to get installed. After the installation of drivers is complete then the ID:COM section in the ODIN downloader window will turn yellow.

Wait for some time, and as soon as the installation is complete the phone will reboot itself. Now, you can remove the USB cable.

Now, You can access recovery mode on your mobile phone by holding Volume Up + Home Button + Power Key and the device will start itself.

Now, select “Wipe data/factory reset” & “Wipe Cache partition” one-by-one and the device caches will be cleared off. After this select “Wipe dalvik cache“.

Hi,

I've been following this guide :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1551581

to flash this rom :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1562603

However, I'm stuck at :

1. Check your CID using fastboot getvar cid and MID using fastboot getvar mid

I've already unlocked my bootloader via htcdev.com and I didn't see my CID.

So I decided to take a risk and continue on, 3. Place PJ46IMG.zip on your SD card.

I did and rebooted and no instructions popped out. Its just the normal bootloader.

So what am I doing wrong exactly ?

EDIT: Can someone also tell me the proper process to installing a custom rom ?

For example do I need to install a specific firmware first, unlock bootloader, install cwm, root or wipe ?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da_pretender:
Anyone knows how do i get Google Play/Market to work on my phone.

I get a message that i have to create an account.

Here's my story.

Flashed 7.1 for the very first time on my Desire and worked like a charm until i started on Google Apps.

I downloaded the version CyanogenMod 9 on the SD card and installed.

On the first attempt i did not get any Google Application except for the Google Play/Market.

I could not use it because it kept on throwing Sever Error. I installed Market Enabler as a fix but uninstalled it because it did not figure out how to use it.

I then hard rebooted the phone, cleared Dalvik Cache and re-installed the CyanogenMod 9 (Google Application package again). I did not get any lock screen but this time it installed Facebook and Twitter. There was no Google e-mail available so i could not use market again.

The third time i used CyanogenMod7. Installation was painless but as soon as the phone shows the lock screen it went back to the loading screen with Android icon.

The fourth time i tried CyanogenMod9 again but this time i only got Google Play/Market.

I used 5 presious hours yesterday and had to roll back to the original ROM because i could not get the Market to work.

This is very simple: report the post. Do not reply. Do not flame. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. Let me deal with 'training' the user to post in the correct forums - that's my job.

To the OP, some guidelines:

1. do not post in Development.

2. if you have to ask, 'should this go in development?' the answer is almost always no.

3. when in doubt, see rule 2, and post it in General. If it belongs in Development, it'll get moved.

Posting in Development is like true love - when it happens, you'll know!

Hi everyone.

I will show you a small tutorial about how to use JunoWallet to win money doing simple, very simple tasks.

What is JunoWallet? It is an aplication for iphone or android that gives you money and you can exchange for gift cards for itunes, PSN, or Microsoft points for XBOX...lets to the tutorial

1. download JunoWallet from your google Play

https://play.google.com/store/search?q=junowallet&c=apps

Once installed, open the app. You can access using a facebook account or create a JunoWallet account. After create or access using facebook it wil be prompted to you for some user code that invited you, put my code XX962830 to win a little more money, $0.25 :D

On the first menu, Rewards per invite, you can add friends to join you. You can send them invite by email or your phone or connect with facebook or twitter.

On the "rewards per install" menu and you will find the apps. The most part of the money came from here. But how? Simple: Download it by clicking on it, install, open the app and close it, thats all, and junowallet will give you from $0.16 to $0.50, depends from the sponsor of the app.

click back...and now click on "rewards per fan". This menu will take you to use a simple button: Like. Yes the like button, use the like button on facebook on the links that the app shows to you and you will receive $0.25.

Go back and click on "Rewards per SponsorPay" menu. Complete the task and you recieve some token by app, each app can give you some tokens 1 token = 0.01 junowallet credit, wich means $0.01.

Go back, click on "rewards per W3i its basicaly the same as rewards per sponsorpay, download the app, install, OPEN, close it and wind the tokens.

Going back, the menu "Go Shop Using JunoCredits", takes you to shop cards :D

When you buy a card from the shop, it will be blocked for 24hours for some security reasons that I dont know. After the 24h you can use your card.

WARNING: some people say use my code and u get more as 0.25$. This is fake don´t believe that.

Dont forget to and use my code please XD XX962830

Thanks
