[General Topics] runeupo:
hey guys, what's your opinion for a 4-inch-easy-to-carry-in-your-pocket ?
[General Topics] RealMikeyTaylor:
The S5 looks nice.
[General Topics] Planterz:
If you're looking for a "flagship", there aren't very many small Androids that qualify as high performance or top-end. In fact, there's only one, the Sony Xperia Z1 compact. 4.3" 720p screen (higher pixel density than an iPhone), blazing fast Snapdragon 800 quad core 2.2GHz, 2GB RAM, 20MP camera. Unlocked GSM that's compatible internationally and on AT&T and T-Mobile in the US.

The Galaxy S4 Mini isn't too shabby. The screen isn't the fanciest, but it'll run smoothly with the dual core 1.7GHz S400.

I can give you some other choices, but I'd need to know where you are and/or what carrier you're on.

---------- Post added at 08:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 PM ----------

The Q10 can run Android apps, so it's not a horrible choice, considering how limited BB apps are. Its 3.1" screen has a 1:1 ratio, so it's a bit odd, and definitely not the best when it comes to video or games that are intended for widescreens. But it'll work fine for texting/email and browsing. I have a co-worker that owns one, and he likes it (and no, he's not a dinosaur, he's 24). He says it's smooth and fast, and although the gesture navigation is weird at first, you can figure it out quickly enough.

Not really. They're all old and/or with with sub-par specs. The best on Verizon is still the Droid 4, but you'll have to find a used or NOS one online, because Verizon doesn't offer them directly anymore. There were rumors of a Droid 5, but nothing for quite a while now.

[MENTION=5749364]Planterz[/MENTION] , thanks for your reply ; sony is beautiful, but high end and high budget ; am from NL and looking for small and affordable phone. Currently on Motorola's Defy which isn't too bad, but looking for some what faster. Thanks.
[General Topics] DCX2:
thanks man
[General Topics] Planterz:
Check out the Galaxy Ace 3. There appears to be 2 versions, a 3G (cheaper) and an LTE (more expensive) that works on all of NL's bands. The LTE version has 8gb of built-in storage, while the 3G only has 4GB. The LTE version also has NFC and a higher capacity battery (1800mAh vs 1500) and a better processor, but I can't really find specifics, plus I don't speak Dutch. The LTE is a hair thicker (10mm vs 9.8). I did a bit of looking around, and it seems like you can find one for about 200 euros (but again, I don't speak Dutch, and might have misunderstood something).

This phone is actually pretty similar to my current phone, the Galaxy Light (only available on T-Mobile in the US). Same screen, anyway. The 4" TFT 480x800 (233ppi) screen isn't amazing, but it's good enough. Accurate colors, vibrant (if you turn brightness up), and not painful to look at. The camera(s) also appears to be the same. The 5MP rear camera takes OK photos in decent light; good enough for Facebook, anyway. I think it takes very good macro pictures. But, being a 5MP, it's not going to give highly detailed pictures of stuff far away, or give great detail in full-size pics. But for cropped photos to share on the internet, it's good enough for most things. I find my Galaxy Light to be very pocketable, and it's actually a bit thicker (10.3) and a few grams heavier than even the LTE Ace 3 (height/breadth are nearly identical).

Unless there's some other phone I'm unaware of, I don't think you'll find a better value in a 4" than the Ace 3. Other 4" phones have lower specs, and/or don't have LTE. There's other options for LTE, but they're all significantly bigger with 4.5"+ screens. It's very possible I don't know of other phones, as I'm not very familiar with the European market, or what inexpensive (possibly Chinese) phones are common over there. But even then, I don't think you'd go wrong with the Ace 3.

Need a phone with these specs

I need a phone which has: performance, battery life, camera with great picture quality and most important it should support/it should be present or going to be added in XDA Forum.

My requirements are:

Minimum 1.2 GHz Dual core (If possible Qualcomm please)

350 MHz or more GPU Adreno or Mali only.

5 MP or more camera with flash and (If possible ISO more than 800 supported). Should be good for low light photography. HD recording isn't an issue.

Battery life more than 10 hours.

USB OTG if possible.

768 MB or more RAM. 1 GB preffered.

Upgradable to 4.4 (via Official or Unofficial port) is a must.

Screen minimum 3.7 inch with min res 480x800 and display should be scratch resistant.

Should be present or going to be added in XDA forum so that I can Unlock it and install custom ROM.

Maximum price range is INR (Rs.) 15000 or $250. (Prices vary according to country so please suggest a phone which is available in India under this price range.
[General Topics] Planterz:
There's a lot of phones that fit those requirements. Check out the Sony Xperia SP. The 1.7GHz dual core Snapdragon S4 Pro with Adreno 320 GPU (400MHz) is still quite capable, good screen, decent 8mp camera, etc. I think official is only at 4.3JB, but there's 4.4KK ROMS out there. It might be at the upper range of your price, but you should be able to find one.

Otherwise, Moto G isn't a bad choice. Or a used Nexus 4.

Looking for a new "phablet"

Hello,

I am looking for a new "phablet" with the following criteria...

1. Compatible with T-Mobile USA for both voice & data.

2. Display size between 6.5" and 8.5" with 1920x1080 or better resolution.

3. 8 megapixel (or better) camera with flash.

4. MicroSD support.

5. Android 4.1 or newer.

So far, the closest I have found is the Sony Xperia Z Ultra. While the 6.4" screen is slightly smaller than I want, the real deal breaker on it is the lack of a flash for the camera.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Galaxy S vs HTC HD2

NOTE: I have read the older threads HD2 vs Galaxy S, but they're from the very beginnings of the two and, while I still believe some of the comments are fair enough, they refer to other times.

Ok, so here's the background: I own a Galaxy S (GT-i9000) and I am not satisfied at all with it. Whatever Android version I'll flash on it, it does always strike back with some annoying bugs. Stock GB 2.3.6 works but many apps I have will not go along with it; CM9 (ICS 4.0.4) works, but hangs too often. CM10 (both JB 4.1.2 and 4.2.1) for some reason is so slow I can't even keep it for a day-to-day use, and it crashes frequently with no apparent reason. Finally I ended up using a CM11 nightly (KK 4.4.2), and seems to work, I'm still testing it.

But the point is I can't keep going on like this. It's more than a year that I don't have a stable configuration on the phone and I keep flashing ROMs and installing apps over and over every two weeks or so, every time going through all the settings again and again, restoring backing up and restoring... I'm just tired of it all!

Today, good news: A friend gifted me his HTC HD2 because he messed up with the software and the phone wasn't working anymore. I managed to flash the original WM6.5 OS and I found out that the touchscreen wouldn't respond to any kind of touches -> most probable cause, as discovered from searches, is the touchscreen controller which got broken. A touchscreen (only) would cost me around 25€ (around 35$ USD) excluded the costs of the actual replacing job. Not a very big deal, I may afford that.

I haven't tried an Android OS on the HD2 (even if wanted, I couldn't with a broken touch) but I see there are many custom ROMs available, and this is nice. Hardware differences seem to be not too big and honestly I like very much the HD2 design and the slightly heavy feel of it in my hand (off topic: what's all this thing about making phones light-weight? it's not like people would love to have a piece of paper in hand instead of a phone ). The Galaxy S is just awful from this point of view and as I said before, I am not satisfied at all with it.

The big question: is it worth spending money on the HD2, so I could replace my Galaxy S (possibly sell it)? Or should I keep the Galaxy S? When replying with your opinion on which should I keep, please add your reasons for suggesting such. And before you ask, yes, I have a whole life (apps) on android that I need so I would be using Android on the HD2. Thank you very much in advance!
[General Topics] 350Rocket:
I still have the original HTC desire which has the same processor as the hd2. I basically had the same type of issues you describe with your galaxy s. There are tons of Roms available but anything newer than gingerbread has issues and or gets slow with all the updated apps.

Even on cm7 now it seems to be getting laggy not sure if its an issue or the latest Google apps and other newer apps (ones that actually are compatible with GB) are slowing it down.

I went with a Nexus 5 and use the desire for a sleep noise machine, alarm clock, mp3 player and and sometimes FM radio.

Right now my gf is using the desire while trying to sell her bb q10 to get either an iPhone again or maybe a nexus 4.

My point is you may still have the same issues with the hd2 even though it's been so well supported for so long. The galaxy s was popular and has lots of Roms too. Its probably best to invest in something with a dual core s4 processor or better.

I'm in the biggest dilemma of my life. I'm too confused between the One M8 and Xperia Z2.

The Z2 pulls me towards itself by it's camera, water resistance and battery; but then i read that the camera and battery on M8 is not bad either.

Tne One M8 attracts me by it's software, looks and audio quality (headphones. the speakers dont matter to me); but then i read that the Z2 software is not bad either.

I need to take a decision, please help me do it.

My requirements:

1. Good audio (headphones)

2. A good camera, whose pictures should look nice on social media (profile pictures on facebook and stuff).

3. Good development.

4. Battery life (I use 3g more than Wi-Fi; i should get through atleast 24 hours).

Other things like processor, display are good on both devices as far as i know. Still, inputs are welcome.

Huawei Honor 6 without a doubt. It ticks all the boxes and some I didn’t know existed like LTE Cat6. It's a pity U.S. Consumers continue to be brainwashed that only Samsung, Apple etc are the "best" phones available. The Lenovo k920 vibe z2 would be my second choice.
[General Topics] toncij:
very complex req/wish list.. :)

So, I'm pretty much in a mess lately about my next phone (which will probably last to next year when I will maybe go iPhone 6 if it would be what I hope it to)...

Z2 has what I value a lot - noise cancelling earphones, which is (I think?) not available on any other phone. Also it is waterproof which really can help, all that while being able to Qi charge, which is great. Good screen, large batter, good slow-mo camera (although I rarely ever use phone cam)... it all helps.

M8 has great software (supposedly much faster than TouchWiz, Sony, LG...), great speakers, great screen... lack Qi charging and is a bit slippery, which I don't really like.

G3 has everything looking good, but is supposedly not best software (slow on times like TouchWiz?) and is not waterproof. Not really a deal breaker but...

SGS5 looks to be good all-around. Amazing blacks and night-brightness, Qi, waterproof, replaceable battery, only fails looks to be TouchWiz...

and then:

Lumia 930 looks to be a very nice phone, but reviews are rare...

iPhone 5S feels bad to buy when 6 is comming soon.

If you're in the states (USA), I'd go with the Nexus 4, with the radio hacked for LTE. Of course, the Moto G LTE wouldn't be a bad choice either, especially if you want to boost your storage with a microSD card.

Outside the states, the Nexus 4 is still the superior device. Better processor, better GPU, 2x the RAM, better camera, etc. No LTE, of course, but if you're not on an LTE network, the Nexus 4 supports HSPA+ 42.2Mb/s, while the Moto G only does 21.1Mb/s. If you can get LTE, ignore both these phones and look at the Sony Xperia SP or a Galaxy S3.

You need to understand that such companies are MVNOs - Mobile Virtual Network Operator. That is to say that they don't have their own their own networks, but lease everything from the larger companies like Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T. Some of such companies are actually subsidiaries of these larger companies. For example, if Sprint sucks in your area, then Boost and Virgin are going to suck too. Some companies use multiple providers, depending on the area and the phone you choose or bring.
