why do you say that? the stock look is great, unless you are talking about specific apps, like TW or SENSE dependent apps. in that case just stay on a stock based ROM or stay away from nexus devices. it just comes down to choice. AOSP is where every device should be, the manufacturer version of android should be an option side-by-side with AOSP that you can select at first boot or at least be an option to flash without voiding warranty.

Touchwiz looks better in my eyes stock android looks too plain to me .atleast make it look cool with out 3rd party launchers samsung has cool features that ain't available on stock android as u can see why nexus phone are cheap .what ever flows your boat than its all good ill keeps my features and bloatware over stock android thanks.

Thats why when I bought nexus 4 I returned it after 5 minutes of use it was ugly and too plain.
[General Topics] zelendel:
Then you got the nexus for the wrong reasons. It is a developers device. So you can make it look or act any way you want without having to deal with sloppy OEM theme coding

If I wanted a developer phone I would of bought something better than the nexus 4 .that's why I ordered the HTC one and I have a s4 to mess around on too .I'll wait til nexus 5 comes out if it made by LG then I'm not getting it.
[General Topics] zelendel:
Those are not developer devices. The Nexus line is the set of devices google has set as developer devices. They are the main devices fully supported by AOSP unlike those devices you named. Even the dev edition of the HTC is not completely compatible with the open source drivers that the hardware of the nexus line was made to use.

The next nexus will most likely be an LG and then a moto from there.
[General Topics] rootyourphones:
I know what u mean man but I won't be buying a nexus device like I said it's too plain and still lag sometimes I prefer touchwiz or HTC sense I can care less if it was stock android it still has no wow factor or make me upgrade when a new nexus device comes out just sayin.
[General Topics] zelendel:
Oh I understand. I used to be one of the biggest supporters of HTC until they killed Sense on android. I just like themeing far to much to use anything other then AOSP based. Not sure about the lag. I have not seen it yet. To each his own. Thats why we all love android. You looking forward to Tizen? (Samsungs Closed sourced TW/android replacment)

Doubtful. They go second hand for over 250 euros. Hell, the galaxy S2 still goes for over 270 retail. I doubt you'll see the S3 dip below the 300 in fixed price before 2014. Maybe in some all-out sale, but not standard.

Media Markt Germany has it for 360 (410 fot LTE). I imagine if you wait for the Mehrwertsteuer aktion (taxfree-sale) you might see it go below 300.

My wife currently bought Samsung s4, but as for me, I'm still waiting for a budget to buy the Nexus One, hope it can live my expectations since most review sites say it's the best.

Or it could be something REALLY crazy like "my next will be (insert model here) because (insert reason)

My next phone will probably be an HTC One for my girlfriend as she's really liking sense 5 and wants to learn to compile.

I'm currently running a Droid DNA, I'd like to buy the Verizon variant of the One when it becomes available, I want to say Nexus 5. The nexus 4 didn't excite me that much so it depends on how the device turns out.

Definitely want the next Nexus 7 for sure and if things fall out for it to work out I would go HTC One, Nexus 7 second gen, Note III.

Depending on tirade dates and financial limitations things are likely to not work out exactly like that.

[General Topics] CharliesTheMan:
No microsd doesn't bother me nearly as much as I expected. In fact at all. There's always OTG too but I haven't used it since I got it and just wanted to try it.

I wasn't expecting to like sense 5 and I ran it and fell in love. I generally hate widgets but even blinkfeed surprised me. I don't usually run it very often because I'm usually playing with kernels and need to eliminate all the variables I can. But it works amazingly well and should help win over some new android users.

I've been thinking quite a while about this. If you would've asked me 6 months ago, I would have wanted to buy something like an HTC Vivid or Motorola Atrix 2, just to have a higher resolution screen compared to my Nexus One. As time has gone on, I'm glad I've waited to buy something. Unless an AT&T LTE-compatible Nexus 4 with at least 16GB internal storage is released at I/O next week and its less than $300, I'm going to get an HTC One X.

[General Topics] julian_noob:
Hey,

Well, I've got around 230€ saved for a new phone. So basically I am not sure what smartphone to buy. I've been stuck between three options: Huawei Ascend P1, LG Optimus L9 P760 and Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S. Apparently those are the best phones I can buy with the money I've saved. People recommended me Google Nexus 4 but I haven't got enough money for it and unfortunately I cannot wait and save more cash for it because I need a new phone by Wednesday at most.

I'm going in a trip and I want to buy this phone to make clear photos, but it should be at the same time a powerful phone that would run the best games around and have an enjoyable Internet experience on it.

I've been in the city today, I've tried and see what else kind of phones I might find, but unfortunately I found only LG Optimus L9 and Huawei Ascend P1 in stores, Xperia wasn't there. LG L9 has been my first options but it worries me that I cannot more applications on SD Card; the camera is only 5MP and its processor is only 1GHz. Other than that, I like the design, especially the white one, it's stunning.

What do you guys recommend? You could come with your own recommendation here.
[General Topics] Lt.Win:
I own an L9 P765 (only difference is I don't have NFC) and you may be disappointed by the camera. Its not as good for a 5MP. Processor is alright, shouldn't be a big issue unless you're playing hard core games, on which it lags. The app2sd capability comes with the Jelly Bean update so again that won't be a problem. It also has CM10.1 if you're interested. (Using it now, hence model has become P760) If you're okay with not being able to play asphalt 7, dark knight, Spiderman, etc. without lags, go for it.
[General Topics] julian_noob:
Well I don't think there's a better alternative to those phones?
[General Topics] homepage:
right now, the htc one looks like the most complete smartphone to me, but as I don't need a new phone right now, I can wait till the price drops to more sensible regions.
[General Topics] Lt.Win:
Xperia P is one. Galaxy Grand is also another option.
[General Topics] julian_noob:
Xperia P looks really nice, I like the design and the specs, what do you think of it? Anyone owns/owned it? Compared to LG Optimus L9, which one is better?

Edit: Xperia P is a little bit more expensive, but I'll try to save money in case it's worthy the price. The problem is that the battery cannot be changed in case it dies.
[General Topics] robobub:
I'm looking to get a used smartphone for $200 on T-Mobile and one phone that really stands out at it's price point is the Atrix HD. 720P, sdcard, bright screen, works on both AT&T and T-Mobile HSPDA and LTE, faster CPU than others at that price. Why isn't it more popular?

Is it the lackluster camera? Only recent unlocking of the bootloader for Rom development? Weak battery that can be replaced by the MAXX battery? Its looks?
[General Topics] BenderJB:
Im not sure, i already buy new phone but its not working correct what should i buy ? right now for low than 200-300$ ?

That's similar to my experience: 366 or 414.
[General Topics] beanboy89:
It seems like there isn't a big dev community for the Atrix HD (looking at the forum here). I'd look into an LG Nitro or HTC One X. I'm looking into the One X (see my post above). I'm finding them on eBay for around $200-250.

The nexus 4 for $300-350 is more than sensible. I can't believe how good this phone is. It's basically a flagship phone for half price.

How does this prove anything? It's Windows Phone's official channel. You don't think they'd be biased towards themselves?

I'll gibe you reasons why WP sucks. iOS is more customizable, at least you have unlimited 4x5 PAGES instead of vertical scrolling crap, it even has a nice notification center which WP sorely lacks.

Don't even get me started compared to ANDROID. Widgets, live wallpapers, ACTUAL FRIGGIN Google apps that WP does not have (iOS even has them), changeable keyboards, launcher, defaults for everything, notification center better than iOS's, pattern lock screen... Hmmm not to mention far better apps, and far more apps.

Windows Phone sucks. Microsoft should have stuck with making Xboxs
[General Topics] zelendel:
Do not get these unless you support a company that craps on the open nature of android. They will not even follow the GPL laws for kernel source so that means they will never have a development forum here.

The Nexus 4 is a great device if you are interested in learning to develop. If you want something that works then maybe the HTC. The Samsung S4 is ok but too many things are coming up as of late that would prevent me from suggesting it.
