I am waiting for LG G4 or Xiaomi Mi5 with Snapdragon 810 SoC and 64bit LPDDR4 RAM support! I hope next April these will be available...

Ditto, except I've only had my Nexus 4 for a few months. I was going to buy the Nexus 6 64gb, but then the price was revealed. Although I can afford it, I just can't justify spending $700 on a phone right now, especially since I don't need it.

After suffering with my Samsung Galaxy Light for the last several months, and my dislike of TouchWiz, I told myself I'd never buy another Samsung. But that turned out to be a lie, and I just bought a used Note 3 off Swappa for $350. Hopefully it'll satisfy my desire for a huge phone. I do like the replaceable battery and microSD card slot though. Samsung gets that part right, at least. And if I don't like it, I can always just re-sell it.

Something also just occurred to me. A couple years ago, I bought Backstab. Fun game, but it doesn't work on many devices. It worked on my old Motorola Droid Razr Maxx. It doesn't work on my Nexus 4 or my LG G Pad 8.3. But for some dumb reason, it works on my Galaxy Light, which is the crappiest of all those devices. Maybe it'll work on my Note 3 and I'll finally be able to play this game I wasted $7 on.

I'm waiting for the Samsung Galaxy S6 next year I've had a Galaxy from the S2 thru the S5 and I guess I'm in the minority when I say I prefer T/W instead of AOSP for stability and no need for nightlies to fix the constant bugs that crop up.

But that's just my preference and in no way intended to denigrate anyone else's preference for AOSP.

Can't decide Nexus 5 or LG G2 ??

Hello. My old trusty and moded s3 Mini have a broken usb connection, so I urgently need a new phone...

I don't want to use a lot of money, so I ordered the moto g lte. But it was slow, didn't receive a lot of attention from developers and the sdcard support was very bad, so I returned the Moto G.

Now I can't decide if should get the Nexus 5 or the LG G2 ?

Cyanogenmod, quality antenna and battery life are my top priorities but I also like a big screen in a small form (thin bezels). I would also like a soft touch back (nexus5 feature),nice camera(g2 feature), wireless charging(nexus5), ir transmitter(g2) but realize I can't have it all on a budget...

In my country Nexus5 and LG G2 cost exactly the same, so after reading a lot of reviews and checking known Cyanogen bugs I believe i get a little more value if i go with the LG G2. But the Nexus5 have the best developer support, so this make my choice very toff!

Reception in my local area is very bad so I need a phone with a quality antenna, anyone know if nexus5 have better antenna compared to the LG G2?

I would really appreciate advise from anyone who have used both phones, please help me.

Buying a Smartphone

Despite the S3 being a slightly older phone, if it has all the features that you need along with a nice price, then I'd say there's really no need to look any further, as you'll possibly shop yourself into confusion anyways considering ALL of the options available nowadays! People are often debating about which smartphone is the "best", when it basically comes down to what actually 'works' best for you. So, whether it's for business/pleasure or both, if it does the trick, that's all that really matters ;)

Advantage..?

Hello ville users!

The time has come to think about my next device, so I wanted to ask do you think having SENSE/TOUCHWIZ phone is advantage because you can flash AOSP any time so you have 2 choices? Lets say if you buy MOTOROLA/ONEPLUS ONE you're stuck on AOSP forever and personally I think it's too plain and by the looks of 5.0 it doesn't bring a lot IMO they just materialized everything and that's it.

Personally I bought One S because of the design, quite good specs at the time and SENSE was going up but suddenly good started releasing OS updates and HTC were really slow doing that and later they just discontinued, that was the first problem for all of us because everyone were spamming XDA about new releases etc...

That's when we could use advantage, just root the phone and flash any AOSP rom out there. So after that have you loved AOSP so much that you don't care about SENSE anymore and could stick with it forever you're a bit disappointed this time with GOOGLE?
[General Topics] zerofx_gth:

i have the same opinion. At the moment i on CM11 on my SGS4 and i love it. Very long battery life and smooth performance. Before i was on the S5 firmware at my S4 etc. The point is, i have the choose for all this stuff TW or AOSP. My next phone become a SGS6 or from HTC.

Nexus 6 or LG G3.

I was waiting on the nexus 6 but can't abide the price.

So I got a Huawai Mate 2 and I absolutely love it. The screen is bright, it is fast and I am on the 3rd day right now without recharging the battery and I still have 45% battery left. I watched a movie and did hours of browsing in addition to phone calls. There is nothing else out there that will do this.

It is a bit beyond your budget at 299 - If you can't spring for the difference just get a Moto-G. I have one of those but my eyesight is going downhill and my fat fingers have problems texting on it.

I am coming from a nexus 5 and like the Mate 2 tons better!
[General Topics] -Zeppelin-:
Hi guys, I'm looking for a Nexus 5 replacement.

Mostly I want better battery life, thus a larger battery. My problem is, that the size shouldn't get really bigger. A bit bigger, like the new Moto X, sure! But the Nexus 6, Samsung Notes or OnePlus-One, simply to big for my hands...

The next thing is, that I'd like to run Purity or likewise on it.

So far I've come up with nothing which would do the trick.

Any ideas?

Greets
[General Topics] Planterz:
LG G2 would fit. Basically the same specs as the Nexus 5, only a tiny bit larger overall, but with a .2" bigger screen, a much larger 3000mAh battery and far better camera.
[General Topics] 350Rocket:
I'd agree with that. While I'm happy with my n5 when I bought it I was torn between it and the lg g2 but price was the main reason I went for the nexus. With what you're looking for g2 sounds like a good choice.
[General Topics] luisms_93:
Yo should buy the LG G3 very hot phone. Nice screen. Nice stetic.
[General Topics] Planterz:
And the secondary market price on the G2 is a bargain, even compared to the Nexus 5, ever since the G3 came out.

Bigger phone than he's probably looking for (although it is compact for such a huge screen), and very little development as of yet.
[General Topics] 350Rocket:
G2 probably runs faster than g3 as well running comparable Roms.
[General Topics] Planterz:
Hard to say, since there aren't any for the G3 yet, save tweaked stock ROMs.
[General Topics] 350Rocket:
Not that I've used one personally, but watching videos of people testing the g2 back when it was newer, i remember it appearing to be pretty lag free even running stock. Fast forward to the g3 and almost every video showed obvious lag.

G2 seems to be a nice fit :)

Haven't really considered it due to the age...

There seems to be no Purity though, are there comparable roms?

All this jibberjabber, and now I want to pick up a G2. I want something bigger/faster than my Nexus 4. I have a Note 3 in my hands, but it's maybe a bit too large, and I'm probably gonna resell it (no use for the S-Pen). Been thinking about a Nexus 5 or even a OnePlus One. The OPO would fulfill my desire for a big phone. I like the idea of the Nexus 5, except the dinky battery. It hadn't occurred to me to check out the G2 until now. Big battery, great screen, good development, great camera, etc.

---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------

Can't speak much for Purity. I tried it on my Nexus 4, but passed on it because it lacked features other ROMs had (but I guess that's kind of the point of "purity"). I liked Purity+ (Purity with added features ported from other ROMs), but development/support on that ROM has ended. There's lots of ROMs available on the G2 that I've tried myself on my Nexus 4. SlimKat's good, Carbon's good, Mahdi, Dirty Unicorns, Omni, Cyangenmod of course, and others. I've pretty much settled on LiquidSmooth. All ran great on my Nexus 4, so I suspect they'll all run even better on the G2 (or Nexus 5) because of of the superior hardware. Any ROM should work just as well on a G2 as it does on the Nexus 5, but should also do so for a few or even several hours longer with the larger battery.

Obviously, I can't speak for G2 kernels.

I wouldn't go 1+ to many bugs, get another Oppo device like the N3 and that funky camera :D

Xiaomi is a great choice for premium device/features and half the price of big brands.

Nexus 5 is a great choice for the stock android experience, from personal experience its the best experience, confused? :D

Anyway, yeah look about because the hype surrounding the 1+ was nice but ones it come out it was a mess, pretty poor from Oppo who have a good rep in China.

I am SURE those are nice phones. But since you mention the nexus 5; that is what I had. I just bought a Huawei Mate 2 and I love everything about it. No lag, beautiful screen, sd card slot, stable AND battery life is second to none. Right now I am 9 hours into DAY 3 and I am at 27% battery, And I have been laid up on the couch with an injury and have surfed, watched movies, email, read at least one book - VERY impressive. A HUGE user experience improvement over the nexus 5. IN fact, I haven't even touched my nexus 7 since I got it.

Sorry for the late reply.

Currently the Xiaomi Mipad is Being sold in 2 variants

16gb $275

64gb $325

A little expensive but when you think:

Shield Tablet

16gb $385

32gb $480

Shield vs Xiaomi

Same processor package, Mipad slightly smaller screen (7.9 inch vs 8.0 inch)

Mipad Double storage $100 cheaper

Mipad also Sharper resolution (Shield 1920×1080 vs Mipad 2048×1536)

The only downside to Mipad is the OS its buggy :(

[General Topics] Planterz:
Moto G LTE if you want a microSD slot and better battery life, Nexus 4 (with LTE hack) if you want better performance. If you want to go really cheap, a Samsung Galaxy Light for under $100. Small, and won't perform as well as the other 2, but it has LTE. My daily driver is my Nexus 4 with LTE hack (LiquidSmooth/Hellscore), but at home I swap my SIM to my Galaxy Light and tether it to my computer.

Out of curiosity, why sell your G2 (a better phone) so you can fix your Optimus G?
[General Topics] Ace42:
I was actually not aware of them being priced equally, thanks.

I am selling my G2 because: too much power for my basic usage, money, and I don't like the rear buttons anymore. I'll look into getting a galaxy light, since I have LTE coverage in most places. The phone itself isn't bad, just overkill for email, text, phone, and occasional pictures/video.
[General Topics] Planterz:
But you can get a used one (LTE) off Swappa in mint/great condition for ~$175, cheaper than the 3G price new (either edition). Keep in mind that the non-LTE versions only have HSPA+ at 21.1Mb/s. You'll still get decent data speeds, as T-Mobile has a great 3G network, but it won't be nearly as fast as LTE. A Nexus 4 in good/mint condition should be about the same price or less (or brand new off eBay for $220).

Fair enough.

The Light makes a great internet mule and/or back-up phone. The battery is replaceable, so you can buy a spare or 3 for use over long periods, and you don't have to worry about wearing the battery out and costing a lot to replace. Its small size also makes it a good portable music player, either streaming or with a microSD card. Us T399 owners have TWRP and root, so you can used Xposed to get rid of some of the TouchWiz ugliness and debloat the unnecessary Samsung and T-Mobile crap.

The camera on the T399 is only 5mp, but honestly, it takes pretty decent pictures - decent enough for Facebook anyway. I prefer it over my Nexus 4 in that regard. With only a 4" screen, texting and web browsing is obviously going to be cramped. But that's the trade-off for something that only costs ~$100 and has LTE.

I've bought several different cases for my Light, and found that the best one is one of the cheapest, a $3.86 TPU off eBay.

If you can't suffer the 4" screen, you could also look at the LG L90 from T-Mobile. Much bigger screen (4.7"), similar specs otherwise, and also only about $100. The trade-off is 3G only (HSPA+ 21.1Mb/s), no 4G (despite what they call it) or LTE.

need some advice about next phone

Hello guys,

i would like to get some unfavorized advice about chosing my next phone. In owned a galaxy s4 , so because i liked my s4 i tend to chose automaticly for the galaxy s5. But is this the best choice? Ive bin thinking between s5 a z3 and a note 3.

I used my s4 for checking my mail , browsing the internet , dowloading movies/music and use screen mirroring to watch movies on my sony bravia kdl 50w815b and listen music on the phone itself. I also used the garmin navigation on my s4 alot. I did root my s4 and i want to root also my next phone. I dont own a working pc so i have to be able to do everything with my phone without freezing and crashing it. I also own a ps4.

I like to have alot of option and neat things on my phone to fidle around with and the phone has to be able to withstand heavy usage (think about using the navigation with gps) and stay juiced till the end of the day. I hope i made it clear enough what i want to do with my phone so that you guys can give me some good advice. If something isnt clear or you need to know more please ask me.

So should i go for the s5, the note 3 or the z3?

greetings mellowbug
[General Topics] Stuart Little:
From my opinion and your use of a phone in combination would i go for the Galaxy S5 because i don't see the pros about prefering a Note 3 over the newer S5.

Xperia Z3 is always not a good decision if i look at your use.

Samsung Galaxy S5 is good in whatever you do with your phone, it's based on simplicity and rich-featured.

Powerful from inside and clean from outside!

Have a nice time with your new phone!

Eventually. Personally, I'm not in much of a hurry to jump to Lollypop. I've been playing a bit with the L preview on my Nexus 4, and I'm not sure I like it all that much yes. It's speedy and it's smoother than Barry White's voice, but it's also glitchy - or rather apps are glitchy on it. Obviously, being a port of a preview meant for another device, there'll be kinks to work out, so myself I'll wait until those kinks do get worked out. Plus I like using Xposed, so I might wait until Xposed works with ART - if it ever does.
[General Topics] -Zeppelin-:
I'd have no need for Xposed, just a stable bugfree Android with a few adds, which are in every other custom rom.

But my conclusion, that the G2 should get Lollipop faster due to the familiarity to the Nexus 5 is right, isn't it?

LG's Optimus UI is pretty heavy - not as heavy as TouchWiz, but it's far from stock. Family ties to the Nexus 5 don't really mean anything in this regard.
[General Topics] -Zeppelin-:
Well, my thoughts were in regard to custom roms, not the LG update.

It should be easier to get Lollipop working on a custom rom, due to the ties to the Nexus 5, shouldn't it?

Greets
[General Topics] Planterz:
Phone availability, popularity, and hackability mean more than family ties. A popular phone with an unlocked/unlockable bootloader means more developers making ROMs and kernels. The G2 might be a "cousin" of the Nexus 5, but its own popularity means more than its relation when it comes to development. Lollypop ROMs will undoubtedly come to the G2. Maybe they'll come from Nexus 5 development, maybe they'll be created independently. I honestly don't know how that sort of thing happens. It's possible that Lollypop ROMs will come to the G2 before the official LG update happens. I really don't know.
