So here is my predicament. So I am looking at a new phone. December last year I bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE (i9210) which I was planning to use until new devices get released, specifically with the Snapdragon 810. However, it seems that the device I bought has a few issues. The battery life is appalling, it needs to be charged 2-3 times a day, I have a feeling it is water damaged as it keeps restarting and cannot hold 4G connection after using WiFi and it also has basically no development at all and i really don't like Touchwhiz but I can live with it. Now that over and done with, I really don't know if I can wait until these new devices come out as it won't probably be until April when they will be available in Australia. Now if I can't wait my choices are the LG G3, HTC One M8 and either the Z3 or Z3 Compact. I do love the size of the Z3 Compact but I also love the design and Sense on the M8. The G3 is the best bang for your buck. Now, I could get one of these and when the new devices come out, sell it. But that is my predicament, buy now or wait.

When you say this do you mean that it doesn't take an external micro SDCard?

If that is the case I take it that they have at least 32mb on internal memory and that all apps and music are installed on such?

I am used to having the external SDCard which I store my music on.

I was looking for something like these:

LG Google Nexus 4

Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo

Amazon Fire

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini

Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom

Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE

Huawei Ascend P6

HTC One mini

anything else???

Mo*to*ro*la Moto X (I can nto find any specific forum for that one!!!)

Samsung Galaxy S5 mini (that is a little bit more expensive but if it worth it)

Re: Why not a one plus one

The phone is amazing on paper, and the specs for the price are undeniably amazing, but the phone is just too big for me. 5'' screens, give or take, are perfect in my eyes, and while the LG G2 has a 5.2'' screen, it has a VERY thin bezel, where as the OPO has a 5.5'' screen, and average bezel. While that is pretty minor, it's the tipping point on form factor comfort for me.

That aside, I've looked at the specs of both, read about both phones (even on the OPO forums), and there are discussions there where various users prefer the LG G2 over the OPO. Both phones are great, I'm just leaning towards the LG G2 mainly for the size.

whats a better phone one motorola nexus 6 or an note 4? i'm still using an gs3 with 5.0.2 works great though, but i really need to upgrade any time soon

any advice is welcome! :)

[General Topics] force70:
They both have there strong points.

Note 4:

Amazing screen

Removable battery

Expandable storage

Spen if you use it

Development taking off

Camera is amazing

Nexus:

6" screen

Front facing stereo speakers

Development is king of course.

My 2 biggest issues with the nexus, like all nexus devices before it are no expandable storage and non removable battery.

My only issue with my note 4 is the screen is too small..it should have been 6"

Hoping to get an answer over here, as on Q&A on Moto G forum I got nothing.

Currently I have a 16 GB original Moto G and a Nokia 301 for work. There are some things that I miss:

- Dual sim so I can get rid of the Nokia

- Better camera

- Larger expandable storage

- Wireless charging

I was thinking of the Moto G 2014 version as It has all I need, and stereo front speakers as a plus.

However I believe the size will be too large.

I started with a Wildfire S, which was really too small in the end, and after two years moved to a Xiaomi MI2.

To my opinion 4,3 inches is perfect for one hand usage. With 4,5 inch of the Moto G it's sometimes hard to use one handed.

If there are other good alternatives to the Moto G 2014 which are also smaller, tell me.

Stock android is a must (Sony UI can go as well).

Hardware wise the Nokia Lumia 730 provides everything I need, but Windows Phone isn't yet my thing.

Hi!

I'm about to buy a new phone. I currently have the Samsung Galaxy S2 and I was thinking on buying the S5.

Do you have other suggestions that are on the same level of the S5?

What I want?

* Android.

* Possibility of flashing and rooting the device.

* 4g connectivity.

* Good battery life (at least a day)

* NOT AN IPHONE.

Thanks!

I know that this is a bit late and i'm not sure if it's still relevant for anyone but i've had the aforementioned Acer Tablet (Iconia Tab 8 A1-840FHD) for almost a week now and so far, i am quite happy with it. Battery life might be a bit low but since i am using it mainly at home, this hasnt been an issue for me yet. The preinstalled bloatware hasn't bothered me much either, since i just disabled it (didn't even need Titanium Backup or anything like that to do so) and rooting the tablet worked fine as well, following a guide i've found here on the forums.

Since this is my first tablet (not counting a medion tablet that i had to return twice because both were defect), i can't say how good it is compared to the alternatives but my experience has been quite positive so far and therefore i will most likely keep it.

Anyone know which phone i can buy used for under 30 bucks for tinkering purposes? A phone with an easily unlocked bootloader with a fairly decent lineup of custom roms (at least a pagefull). It doesn't need to be a wow device, just something that isn't unbearable to use in terms of it being laggy (for reference, the LG optimus L9 with its its dual core OMAP processor is more than good enough, but since it's locked down i can't use it for tinkering). I'll be using it as a wifi only device.

Hello,

So I accidentally dropped my Lenovo IdeaTab S2110A tablet today and the screen just shattered. So, I am on the market for a new tablet, and I need help finding the right one. As far as "need" goes, I will mostly use it for reading. So any tablet really should do. However, I need help deciding based on these factors:

Has to be running Android L or is Android L ready.

Quick to receive updates/upgrades from its manufacturer. My Lenovo was came with Android 4.0, and although it was 4.1 ready, that never happened. So I need a tablet from a manufacturer that keeps up with providing updates/upgrades.

It has to be one that captures developers interests. I am a flashing junkie, so I need one that I can get it rooted and actively flash new roms. If it is not for need, I will flash a rom just for the sake of it. I never flashed a rom with my Lenovo.

Not a kindle

I can do the research on the technical aspect of it on my own. I am crazy about speed, so I do not want my apps taking a long time to load, and I want it to allow MicroSD Card. A USB and HDMI port would be great, but not necessary.

I am thinking that a Galaxy or Nexus would be my best shot, but I am not entirely sure on the developer's interest part.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

[General Topics] MiyagiSan:
The criteria on that list isn't about developing apps or other development related nonsense. It is about having a device you can be reasonably certain (a) isn't spying on your and reporting to others without your knowledge or consent, (b) isn't a dead-end device with no possibility of future updates or bugfixes and, (c) is going to enjoy some level of support from a community you can turn to in case of problems (even after the manufacturer has abandoned your model).

If you feel all that is of no use to you, that's cool.
