Morning all,

I've been working a steady 50 hours a week for the past couple of months, and since I've had no time to actually spend any of the money I've made from overtime, I've got a hefty sum I'd love to put towards a new phone (my unrootable ZTE Valet just doesn't cut it). I'm looking for a good CDMA phone (preferably unlocked) that I can use my Tracfone (UGH!!) number on. I've got about $600 to spend, and I'd really love to have something I can root, mod, and just play around with. Any thoughts or suggestions for a phone that fits my needs? I was looking at a Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Amazon, but several Google searches later have left me unsure whether or not I'd be able to bring it to Tracfone.

Thanks in advance :D

Check out the HTC One M8

November/December will my HTC One M8 arrive !

I did take a look at it and it is a sexy beast of a phone :D

I just can't find a CDMA version of it :/

My S3 has had cracked glass for a while now, and here in a month or two, my contract is up. I'll be switching to Verizon, and I'm trying to decide what phone I should get. I'm mostly debating between the Galaxy S5 and the LG G3. The HTC One M8 is perfect in every way, except for that camera. The G3 seems better than the S5, the only problem is that it seems very unlikely I'll be able to put Cyanogenmod on it, unlike the S5. Anyone out there who can help me decide?
[General Topics] Stuart Little:
If you won't go for the M8 ( what is the best ) than you should go for the G3 because sammy sucks.

November/December will my HTC One M8 arrive !
[General Topics] Saint Wacko:
I wish I could go with the M8, but I need a phone with a good camera. Also, why don't you like Samsung? I've never had any issues with them.
[General Topics] Stuart Little:
When I have a phone than I like to use stock and no other rom, Samsung is having the most worse stock because of bloat ware and it is to simple I don't like it, so now I have to use CM or debloated stock.

Sense and Sony UI is the only stock that works good and looks good, personally am I not liking Sony UI but it works like a charm.

Sense will bring you more alive with your phone and will connect you to HTC.

But you like the camera very much so go for the Xperia Z3 or the LG G3.

Cheers

November/December will my HTC One M8 arrive !
[General Topics] Saint Wacko:
Ah, yeah, that makes sense. I never leave my phones on stock, so the stock rom isn't an issue for me. I'd love to get the Z3, or even the Z2, but they're not available from carriers here in the US :(
[General Topics] Stuart Little:
Just order it online, there is nothing better than rid of those carriers.

November/December will my HTC One M8 arrive !

Nokia Lumia 1320

This is a re-post of the thread: http://xdaforums.com/general/general/nokia-lumia-1320-t2864312

Hey,

My contract is ending in a month or so, and it's time to search for a new phone. To be honest, I'm not interested in "Flag Ships", I just want a bigger phone and something different, I'm a bit bored of Android.

Right now I have an LG Optimus L5. (Phones in Serbia are crazy expensive, e.g. S5 here is 800 USD on contract.)

And then I saw the Nokia Lumia 1320, it came out this year it's affordable, it has a big screen and it looks awesome. So I wanted to see if any of you, have used this phone, and I'd love to hear your input about it. Or if you have a suggestion on a different device, go for it. (Devices I can get are listed in the end)

Note, I'm not looking to play heavy games on it, I have a Nexus 7 for that sort of thing. I need the phone to do 7 things, call & sms, twitter, internet browser, wifi hotspot, play music, and some light games to kill time in transit.

Phones that I was offered for my contract:

Lumia 1320

Lumia 630

LG L80

Samsung Galaxy Core 2

Sony Experia M2

Xiaomi Mi4 and Oneplus One dilemma... But for the next summer
[General Topics] Stuart Little:
If you are into development then go for the OnePlus.

If you are a casual user than go for Xiaomi Mi4

November/December will my HTC One M8 arrive !
[General Topics] innomi:
Depends on where you live if warranty is an issue.

Xiaomi is Chinese. So if something is wrong you have to ship it to there!

Oneplus has warehouses nearer. Like us. Europe etc.

I own a Oneplus so my advise would be oneplus.

But then again. You said for next summer... You should better wait until April or so to look for phones. Almost every month a new phone is coming out.

Perhaps better then those 2.

anyone seen the Note 4? I'm not a samsung fanboy but it is amazing :)
[General Topics] Richieboy67:
The metal looks nice and it has some cool features but price will be a factor.

I was just watching Jon Stewart and he pulled out what looked like a g3.. Pretty sure I saw the center buttons. Anyone see that?
[General Topics] marcusloke:
even though just got a Nubia Z7 max and have a M7 as a second phone, I am looking forward to the new iphone 6 (5.5" version)

Note 4 looks good on paper, but the leather back is still a joke

the new Edge looks kinda funky, but not that pleasing to the eyes

The Z3 looks like a beauty imo.

Otherwise it will be another wait to see what HTC will come up with as a reply.

In the meantime, will set my eyes on the China manufacturers as well to see what their replies are

Definitely the Note 4 from t-mobile

Shoot even the Note 3 lookz tempting imo, but might as well wait for the 4, cant wait to upgrade im still on the galaxy s3, and sprint is by far the worst carrier ive ever had, very expensive with crappy service, only good thing about sprint is truely unlimited 4g data...

I don't mind metal, glass or even plastic if done right. That stuff on the gs5 just seems so ugly to me. It feels alright though and probably adds a little drop protection. I just can't get past the ugliness.

[General Topics] Stuart Little:
Are you into development? If yes than you should go for the Nexus x or 6.

It will have a huge amount of roms.
[General Topics] marcusloke:
exactly my thoughts when i saw metal, but read on further and realise it was leather :(

not too sure about this, but i heard the lead designer was fired because currently except for the Galaxy Edge which look way too weird and funky, the rest of theirs phones have been following almost the same design and form from S3 onwards.

one would expect more from Samsung, then again I am not a betting man.

I would love to see what the Nexus 6 will be like.

for me I prefer a heavier sturdier phone, hence my M7 and Nubia choice, since they really feel good on my hands and I can operate them easily (I have fat hands and fingers)

I would have bought the M8 but the camera is too "awesome", hence I skipped a generation :P

The Xiaomi Mi3 is all aluminium unibody but it was too light and felt cheap when I held it. But the price tag really put many flagships to shame.

So all in all, waiting for iPhone 6 and something from HTC hopefully more metal and heavier and sturdier in my hands
[General Topics] Warhoax:
Jesus, my current phone has a dieing battery and all these great phones are coming out in the next few months.

I wish they were already available, I need my phone for school, which starts in a few weeks.

I'm still doubting which one to choose, I'll either go with the nexus X (6), Galaxy note 4 or Xiaomi Mi4.

It's probably going to be the one who's available first, bad way to a choose a phone, but meh.
[General Topics] Stuart Little:
I would recommend you the Note 4 because of the best specs.

Recently is also the Galaxy edge released.

Make sure you check it out before making decisions or payments.
[General Topics] pulteb:
I'm probably gonna get an Ara when it comes out. Looks pretty cool
[General Topics] teonagode:
Note 4 is incredible it's just the price for it in the EU that is not right 800€ xD
[General Topics] Stuart Little:
Hehhehe far to expensive for me I want phone for maximal €600 I saw HTC One M8 for €560, but I prefer €400 the most but the M8 I just worth the money.
[General Topics] innomi:
Then get the OnePlus one. Better then the m8 and only 269 euro

Verstuurd vanaf mijn OnePlus One 64GB
[General Topics] Stuart Little:
Hehehehe no no, the M8 is far way better than a chinese phone with buggy customer support and issues that are little but not easy to fix because of worse customer support.

M8 is made of pure quality material, the OnePlus is for his money the best phone I ever saw but he can't compete with the High Tier of HTC.

Maybe a N6/NX will change my mind but I'm in love with sense.

I've planned to buy the Oneplus one or maybe two when I have my HTC One M8 and have enough money again.

Will just use it for fun and tweaking.
[General Topics] pulteb:
You can switch he material of the OPO if that's what you meant. It also comes with CM, a near stock ROM. And most of the issues are isolated from what I've heard. The only thing bad about it is that OnePlus is a ****ty company that needs to hire new management

BUT the caveat is I have not held one in my hands, and I hope when that day comes with no invites (and maybe a +2 version) I can get my paws on something tangible, just hope it is heavy and sturdy like the HTC or my current phone the nubia, else its gonna be a deal breaker for me like the much vaunted Xiaomi Mi3.

Then again its my preference, everyone is free to decide what they do or do not like

[General Topics] Stuart Little:
Since your old phone was a M7 am i recommending you stay with HTC and get a M8 just for avoiding disappointments.
[General Topics] JODSN:
That's one of my question, the M7 was such a perfect phone (despite the problems i had), that i doubt the new m8 would keep up with the standards of the m7. I will probably try the M8 on a physical store and see what's the best option. Thanks
[General Topics] marcusloke:
seems you are unfortunate like me, got a M7 with the camera issue, sent it in and no longer any more issues, they did a 1 for 1 swap.

as for M8 i suggest doing due diligence, if you are a photo guy who loves taking the phone out to snap pics, see if the M8 camera is to your expectations.

except for the ""awesome"" camera on the M8 I have no other issues :D its a great phone

if budget is not a problem there are some darn good phones recently out with the 805 SoC like the Note 4

or if waiting is not a problem, there is bound to be more 805 SoC releases for this years flagship models

Okay so I'm planning to change my phone next month. I have a Note 2 currently. Also here in India we get the international versions of phones.

Not going for Samsung because of the Knox and root issues.

Only considering HTC, Moto, Sony, LG.

My use is a lot of Ingress(a lot of High accuracy GPS), text/call/im, also I keep flashing a new rom every week or so.

Hence I'm looking for a device that had a great community on XDA with lots of options of roms and kernels. That's a high priority requirement.

I'm not sure about the M8, cause of the camera. The new Moto G is okay, but no idea about the community. Same for the Z3. Any suggestions?
[General Topics] Stuart Little:
Hmmm, if you are prefering a better camera then go for the Z3.

For all other purposes is the M8 the best.

20,7MP in Z3 is awesome for you :)

If you're going to sell, do it soon. Rumor is Google might be ditching the 16gb model, introducing a 64gb model, and the 32/64gb fit the $350/400 price tier. If they do, the resale value on yours will plummet.

[General Topics] kkapoorr:
Thanks.

About Sony, does the community have a strong base? I used to have a HTC One X and even now the community there is active, which I desire. Cause using phones over 1.5 years makes me look for smaller changes like a ROM or kernel.

And I prefer non nexus Android phones. Cause I have 2 main choices then ie AOSP/CM based roms like CM nightlies or the themed roms. Opens a wide variety of choices imo.

Z3 seems nice, but pricing might be a pain.
[General Topics] Stuart Little:
I see you like the HTC community and can't afford over priced high-tier phones.

You should look for the HTC One M7 ( €360 - high-development ) or the HTC Desire 816 ( €313 low-development ) .

The desire is almost the best choice you could make except the small community/development and a worse screen density.

The M7 is the allround of this two and would be the best for you ;)
