[General Topics] Mokiwipeout:
Guys i want something pretty cheap but still, i want it to be maximum 350 euros... The lower the price the better of course.

So, after searching quite a lot i came down to these 2:

Sony Xperia S

Htc One S

Now i DO know that they have some differences but, i want to know some things:

1) Does any one if the 2 have a loud loudspeaker, coz if my xperia sole did not have vibration i would have missed 99% of the calls...

2) is their camera good? I cannot carry my canon eos 1000D around so i need a phone with a noteworthy camera

What you should also know is that i dont really care about having the newest phone and that i am perfectly fine with the storage of htc one s. Also, the phones will be charged daily coz i cant afford to lose calls. Finally, i want to know which is the best in terms of usability under sun light...

Any help wiil be appreciated

Hello everybody. My next smartphone should be another Chinese clone of the Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-i9300). I just love those clones and sometimes fighting with their defects and hardware limitations.

(Still I can't understand why isn't here any official subforums or threads dedicated to the Chinese clones. Like it or not, there are many of them out there, and also people looking for help and advice in this forum, since there is little or no official customer support from the sellers.)

Kind regards.

Should I get a HTC One, Galaxy S 4, or Nexus 4? Should I get it on contract or pre-paid if I can?

I have a Galaxy S 3 and have had Galaxy S 1 Captivate, Galaxy S 2 as well. I'm kind of sick of having a plastic flimsy phone especially when I don't drop my phone at all and don't need it for safety. That's why I'm having trouble deciding over these 3 between build design and quality vs extra small features.

[General Topics] Bilack:
Given the fact that atm i own the international version of the galaxy s2 and because i didnt have any problems with it so far i will probably go ahead with samsung. if i was to consider the look of the phone, any other of the 3.
[General Topics] Madrenergic:
Actually the Galaxy S4 sold by AT&T is a different variant from the international model. Wikipedia shows that the international model is a GT-I9500 (HSPA+) and GT-I9505 (LTE), but the AT&T variant is SGH-I337.

That means that ROMs will need to be developed separately for the SGH-I337. It cannot simply use the GT-I9500 and GT-I9505 ROMs. The develoeprs will need to adapt and modify the kernel separately, and that means that there will be either fewer custom ROMs or they will take longer to come out.

However, if CyanogenMod is your main concern, I think it's quite likely that they will eventually support even the AT&T Galaxy S4 since it is so popular, but do remember that there is no such thing as guaranteed support. You will need to wait for a developer to volunteer to adapt CM for the AT&T S4.

However, if you want the best guarantee and widest variety of custom ROMs, Nexus 4 is still the best IMO. :)

I've been dream shopping on Phone Arena for about 3 months. So much to consider. Carrier first, cuz I have big red and I know they can be a pain as far as bootloaders go but the service is good. Att, Sprint and TMob dont seem to care as much, but do they have the device I want or can mod. Second was hardware. Samsung is good, but cheap feeling and ugly. Lg, better yet but not a lot of support. Moto and HTC are great but once again Moto had made it hard to mod...... until a couple of weeks ago. I bought 2 Razr HDs for my wife and I. Rooted and unlocked on the first day and here come the ROMs. Great hardware, and really the phone that my GNex should have been. Nexus 4 is solid, but no CMDA or expandable storage. S4 is a beast, but plastic crap, and who knows if there will be encrypted bootloaders. HTC One is beautiful and beastly(except the 4mp camera), best option these days but it will take time for support(if possible). And Nexus 5/X Phone should be an animal if any of what we hear is true and if its available on all networks then it will be worth the wait, because my Moto Razr HD is built well and sexy. But who care what I think.....

Sony makes great hardware, but for whatever reason has not sold a lot of handsets(in the U.S. at least) to create a demand for development. But the Xperia Z is a super nice phone and has been attacked by the the dev community since its recent release. So, yeah, Sony is great stuff. It seems like they are making a charge to edge into the market for real. Sadly, HTC isnt turning profit with anything they sell here, and that is scary. Sony might end up bumping HTC out of the way, I just hope the "One" keeps them around instead of retreating from the U.S. market altogether.

Is there a smartphone like the S3 LTE but manufactured by a company that provides ALL the sources code to a fully working stock ROM?

I would go with the Nexus 4 but I cannot stand the non-removable battery.

What I need:

- 2GB of RAM

- LTE not mandatory but 42mbit in 3G yes

- removable battery

- quad core/latest tech

The S3 LTE has everything of those and it's "cheap" but the ROM development is lousy due to lack of source code so you're stuck with bloatware and touchwiz.

If only the Nexus 4 didn't have that stupid integrated battery!

Well I am a very technical dude, like hacking and modifying things. I want to make the most of my current P6200 (Samsung 7" Tablet, 2011 model not old model) but my upgrade will be due in march, and I love my tablet, but you see I don't have a phone, so I make phone calls and text from my tab, phoning looks funny by the way. So I love it to bits, but I am not going to get another one because of it's size. But I will happily keep it for gaming and development, or even testing :D. So I would like to get the Samsung s4 Octa Core model. Like I said I am very technical. I will not get the s4 if I can only get the Snap Dragon, I would really really really like the Exynos Octa Core model (8 cores) otherwise I am interested in the Note 3 <------ Cannot wait! Hoping to get a fast and efficient phone that has a durable body and stable android version, cannot wait for Key Lime Pie! Anyway I said enough, but I think the Note 3 will come with Android version 5 Key Lime Pie.:good:

For me...it is either between the next iPhone, HTC One, or another smartphone that looks interesting. Not interested in the GS4 at all. Will not get any phone that hits the 5 inch mark. That's too big for me.

Right now I got an Epic 4g Touch(rooted with PACman Rom JB) and an iPhone 4s that I switch back and forth between. I am not a fanboy of either OS, and when I get bored with one switch back to the other :p. I find it funny at all the flame wars between the fanbases as to me each OS has their plus and minuses.

HTC One I have my eye on the most. Love the look along with the camera and could care less about the lack of an sd-card slot and removable battery.
[General Topics] Nbsss:
I think the gs4 isn't worth it for us xda 'superusers'. The bloatware on that thing is ridiculous..

Stock rom is 1.6gb (vs 340mb for nexus 4), you can turn off the useless gimmicky features all you want, but it's still there and using resources, hence the lag alot of reviewers are experiencing... more is definitely not better, especially when those features only work on Samsung apps and slow your phone...

Don't get me started on development issues for the phone when you finally get frustrated with crapwiz ...damn Samsung...
