I watched a YouTube video the other day comparing the s5 and the nexus 4 speed opening a multitude of apps, and after opening like 10-15 apps in a row several times the s5 was almost 2 minutes behind the already finished nexus 4.

Nexus was running stock lollipop and s5 was stock KitKat running touchwiz crap but still pretty crazy.
[General Topics] Planterz:
I've seen videos of the Moto E beating the S5. Obviously the S5 will benchmark better and play games better, but it's clear that TouchWiz bogs things down.

Easy enough to fix the TW lag and bloatware and then no contest next to a nexus 4 or moto e.

After root on my sammy devices the next thing is to freeze/delete all the gimmick and nonsense crap on the device. Feels like a totally different animal after that.

Too bad this doesn't work on my Galaxy Light. Well, I mean it works, but doesn't cure Facebook from taking (seriously) 30-35 seconds to load (vs 6 seconds on my Nexus 4). That's on a cold load. When resident in RAM, Facebook still takes about 5 seconds to load. I know I can't compare this phone to an S5, but a quad core 1.4GHz/1GB RAM phone shouldn't be so damn laggy. Luckily there's a couple guys working on CM for it.
[General Topics] s8freak:
That I don't have a problem with on my S5 it's very smooth and fast the .5 on animation isn't going to make pages to load that's for certain. Freeing up space is the only way to speed that up.

It's debloated and Greenified. It scores 21K on Antutu, which beats the Moto G (the 800x480 screen helps with that). It shouldn't take 8-10 seconds to load the messaging app or the dialer, but it does. Oh well, this phone is my back-up phone, and my internet mule at home. The only time I really use it is when the pathetic battery on my Nexus 4 craps out. Or to take a pic, as the 5mp camera on it takes far better pics than the 8mp camera on the Nexus 4.

Hopefully I can pick up that LG G2 I've been pining over in the next few weeks, but naturally, now that I have the money for one, there's none for sale on Swappa.:rolleyes:
[General Topics] s8freak:
Copy that. I was absolutely satisfied with my S5 and I've owned the S series since the S2 but for some reason beyond any sensibilities I pulled the trigger on a Sandstone black 64g OneplusOne and man I'm extremely pleased with this device in spite of what [MENTION=4463570]force70[/MENTION] thinks but he's up in the great white north and his synapses are frozen.
[General Topics] Planterz:
I've been heavily considering a OnePlus One too. I want a bigger phone (than my Nexus 4); I briefly had a Note 3, which felt "just right" outside the case, but it was just a bit too wide with a case on (even a thin one). I've always protected my phones with cases - usually Otterboxes - but I keep both of the ones I own know in TPU cases, the Nexus 4 in a Diztronic. I was wary of using "only" a TPU case with my Nexus 4, but the Diztronic is excellent, and I've never felt like it was underprotected. Plus, I've only dropped it once or twice, whereas with with my dinky Galaxy Light, I've dropped/tossed/launched it countless times (still immaculate condition), so I think I'd be even less prone to drop and even larger phone like the OnePlus One. I feel like the OPO might be "just right" with a Diztronic TPU case.

It wouldn't be until after tax season that I could possibly buy a OnePlus One though, and by then the OnePlus 2 might be announced, or at least rumored upon better. Of course, the HTC Hima should be announced by then too...
[General Topics] s8freak:
This O+O is really solid and the Sandstone black feels like felt and it's very hard to get open which is actually a good thing. I don't like cases myself but I do have tempered glass on the screen.

The price is great for a device of this caliber $359.37 shipped is down right cheap.

I gave my wife the N4 for Christmas and the O+O is a tad smaller and feels just right. It's between the S5 and N4 in size.
[General Topics] force70:
Im never one for cases either, if i drop one and it breaks instant new excuse for a new device lol...thats never happened yet though.

The N4 cant be much bigger than the OPO i wouldnt imagine, its hands down the most beastly device ive ever owned and as freak knows....ive owned a few lol

I am going to get a nexus 6 as soon as i can get my hands on a 64gb white and since development is finally growing on the G3 pick one up as well more than likely since i had my heart set on one since i sold my G2.

Planterz you really should go for the G3 over the G2.. better processor and gpu,bugger screen, and most importantly ext sd card support and removable battery.its smaller than the OPO as well

Its def worth the little bit of extra cash and you could probably get away with running it for at least a year.

[General Topics] s8freak:
Yep [MENTION=4463570]force70[/MENTION] likes a new device every six weeks or so LOL

The OpO doesn't have a removable battery or ex sd card true enough but the battery is big enough and 64g is plenty as well and that's the beauty of all of this isn't it? There's a plethora of worthy devices that can be had and that's half the fun in my opinion [emoji106] [emoji106]

SGS3 for sure? I am completely unimpressed by the phone. It offers nothing "groundbreaking" that we were expecting to see. And to be honest, aesthetics wise, the Nexus is a much more beatiful phone. That metal around the edge? Horrible. That purplish blue color? Horrible. I was just as excited about anyone about the release of this phone, but I am left dissappointed. That being said, if something better isn't out during upgrade time...I will probably be getting one too...:mad:
[General Topics] bjoswald:
Good question. Unfortunately, my contract with AT&T hasn't expired yet, so I can't pick a new phone. However, I've done my best to keep up-to-date with the Android scene, and I'd really like to get my hands on a Samsung device (probably the S3 if I could pick one right now).

I wholeheartedly agree. SG3 feels more like SG2 special edition...

Have you checked out the Padfone yet? I'm much more inclined towards Asus than this.

There's white as well. I don't know why everyone who complains about the "purplish blue" color seems to forget about that.
[General Topics] johamsandwich:
Undecisive.

I'm split between The S3 and the EVO LTE...leaning towards the EVO though.

I'm all omgz for the quad-core, but the S3's features felt gimmicky (c'mon, did they really have to show that Siri knockoff lol). And since I'm planning to get the US S3 (I don't know yet if I can afford buying the unlocked version), the specs are pretty much the same as the EVO.

The only thing that the US S3 is gonna have over the EVO is the removable battery, and bigger storage (which I love). Evo is more pleasant to look at,plus the casing is higher quality.

Now if the EVO is going to be in white during pre-order, I'm definitely getting it.

I was crazy fan of Nokia devices but since some years i prefer Android (Apple is a system too closed for me).

There are many devices that install this OS (android), for that i don't know exactly what will be my next phone. I tried Samsung and i've htc desire hd and both are for me very good.

I was disappointed by htc for missed ICS upgrade so if in the future i will buy Samsung it will be only for this reason.

Currently i could buy an HTC One X or a Samsung Galaxy S3 because i love photography and these devices have the best feautures for that and others, like graphic app and games.

Lastly, i know that there are upcoming phones, for examples, with quad core and tegra 4 in this year so, the choise is very hard...

Yeah, considering it was LGs first crack at a tablet in a couple of years (I think)

I reckon they done a wonderful job.

Downside was they then come with the 3 well.... Sub-par offerings.

Was disappointed but happy because there is nothing worse then getting a new toy then a month or 2 later the same brand release an even better device.

Anyways.... Yeah it was a great piece of kit.

Personally I had mine on a custom OS and it flew.. Lol

But I think same screen, same shape, better CPU & GPU and we have a winner. I do love LG devices I must say.

Yeah, but I'm on a Dollar Menu and bottom shelf booze budget, and a used G3 is $200 more than a G2. With the G2 I wouldn't need to bring 2 phones to work and I'd have a fantastic camera. Actually, I'd probably still bring my Galaxy Light, since I can load up its 64GB microSD card with music and stream music without ads (with no subscription) with Milk. Obviously, a removable battery and SD card slot would be great too, but coming from the 16gb Nexus 4, the 32gb on the G2 will be like heaven for me. Besides, I have my GL with 64gb card, a LG 8.3 with 64gb card, a Sansa .mp3 player with 40gb, and a 160gb iPod Classic, so I'm covered when it comes to media consumption.

I personally prefer buying the previous generation's flagship and saving. Obviously, I'd rather have the G3, but I don't need it. To be honest, I don't even really need the G2, or any other phone for that matter. My Nexus 4 is fast enough and smooth as butter (or rather, it's LiquidSmooth;)). 2 years old and still going strong. In fact, it runs games better (just smaller) than my LG G Pad 8.3 because it has less than half the pixels to push. I'd say the Nexus 4 has at least another year of great life in it. The best "budget" phones out there only have a SD400/A305, inferior to the Nexus 4's S4 Pro/A320, and usually only 1GB RAM. Maybe when SD410s become more prevalent, The N4 will show its age against budget phones, but it'll still hold its own, and right now it beats the hell out of all of them.

Even if I could afford the G3 over the G2, I'd still get the G2 and use that $200 for something else, like a Moto X 2013. And please don't burn me at the stake for saying this, but I kinda even want to pick up an iPhone (*GASP!*). But it'd be a cheap 4s or maybe a 5/5c. One thing I do like (and hate) about my Galaxy Light is that it's small, because one doesn't always want a giant phone. But the list of small, good Androids is extremely short (Droid Mini, Sony Z1C, Z3C), particularly in the camera department, and hate iProducts all you want, nobody can deny that iPhones take great pictures.

If you can wait a year, phones cost half as much and you can buy twice as many.:good: Just my opinion...

Something occurred to me a while ago...

I'm not really a brand loyalist; a good device is a good device regardless of brand. But my tablet is an LG, my computer's Blu-ray drive is an LG, my HDTV is an LG, my Blu-ray player is an LG, my Nexus 4 was made by LG, and my next phone will be an LG G2. And I can honestly say that apart from buying the same brand TV and Blu-ray player, it's all coincidence.

Im not a brand guy either, iv had htc's (still have my one x +) motos...great build quality, sammy, sony and a couple LGs of course.

Dont get me wrong about the G2,it was one of the nicest devices ive ever had and if it had ext sd slot...id still be rocking it! The battery on that thing was crazy..better than my note 3 actually.

It would def be huge jump from the nexus 4 especially with a good rom on it, see if you can find pre kit kat one though..not sure if they ever did loki the kk bootloader?

[General Topics] Planterz:
I don't know what you're talking about, and it sounds like I have a lot of reading to do. I saw that a lot of custom ROMs were available, so I thought I could just flash TWRP and put LiquidSmooth on it. Some preliminary poking around and it looks like downgrading is possible/necessary, so it appears I should be able to do what I want, but just more complicated than I assumed. Maybe I'll just keep it stock/rooted; some of the LG features are pretty cool.

---------- Post added at 09:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 PM ----------

I'm definitely not knowledgeable to go into specifics, but 64 bit is obviously better. I mean, the SNES was better than the NES, right? and the N64 trumped both, didn't it?

Perhaps not (but perhaps so...I don't know) at this very moment, but at the very least it's laying the groundwork for the future. In 2015 we'll be seeing phones and tables with octa-core 64 bit processors, 3-4GB RAM QHD and possibly UHD screens, Cat 5 and 6 LTE, and all sorts of tech that a couple years ago would have sounded like s#!t we'd only see in a James Cameron or J.J.

Im having trouble to decide which phone shouls i buy in the next few months..price is not a problem!

I loved the Note 4 for the very first time i saw it but its a huge phone and bulky feeling in the hands unlike LG G3 which feels small in the hand.

I heard the HTC M9 and Galaxy S6 that will be the best device ever full metal design and 64bit CPU etc.. should i wait for those devices or should i get the Note 4?

My main use of the phone is ALOT of texting,lots of pictures especially in low light, evernote,sharing stuff and excercises for university purposes,using 3G/4G alot dyring the day,viber,snapchat,facebook,youtube

Thats all i do with my current phone. The feature of Note 4 that converts image into editable text i think would be perfect for taking notes in the university.

What should i do guys?

[General Topics] Planterz:
Well, this is a forum dedicated (primarily) to hacking/modifying/developing Android, so you're not going to find many unbiased opinions here. iOS is a perfectly capable mobile operating system, but its closed nature and lack of customization ability draws scorn and derision from Android enthusiasts. Apart from changing the wallpaper, there's nothing within iOS to personalize it to make it your own - it'll look like every other damned iPhone out there. If you're OK with that, the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are fine devices. Great cameras (especially the 6 Plus), fluid OS, great games and apps available, etc. If you're a "power user" though, you might want to go with Android, as there's lots you can do with Android that you can't with iOS. Especially if you're talking about the Note 4.

Opo has a bigger screen, double the storage and tons of development but god help u if anything goes wrong with it. Opo customer service is probably the worst in the business and there have been many issues with the device.

Id do some reading in the g2 forums to see if they got past the kit kat locked bootloader and in the opo forums to see if the newer devices are all fixed. I have one friend on here who loves his opo and i trust his opinion totally.
