Today I got pretty interested on the Lumia 920. I will wait for some more windows 8 information, but it might be sweet.

And the android 5 will come along and make me forget all about it and I will be all over the next nexus...

New to t-mobile

Well as the title says I'm new to t-mobile coming from Verizon. I picked up the galaxy exhibit ii and starting out with a droid eris then going to a droid x with an awesome rom in liberty along with countless others. The exhibit is well dry Jocala's peach rom is leaps and bounds above the few others out there. Any one have any suggestions stick with the exhibit or pay out of pocket to upgrade??

Dunno, usually, dunno, usually, not really, but neither is Samsung, yet I'm typing this on my Note 3 running cm12.

[General Topics] obscuresword:
Me too. I was going to get the Moto G 2014, but it wasn't much of an upgrade over the last year model. Asus showed Motorola how it should be done.
[General Topics] MiyagiSan:
Moto G 2014 was lamer than Moto G 2013 imho. Pointless size increase (way to alienate non-phablet loving, female users), same internals, wtf?

ASUS would need to release kernel sources, ensure bootloader unlock, root and perhaps provide device tree repo (like YU Yureka) before I'd be happy to add this device to my shortlist. Decent specs for the rumoured price though...
[General Topics] obscuresword:
I wouldn't consider a 5 in screen phablet territory, but I understand what you mean. The only thing they change with the internals is the camera lol. I was like why didn't you make the battery bigger you have more space!? It made no sense to me at least.

I like how Asus used the iPad Air's GPU because it was one of the best GPUs from last year. It's going to perform very well considering it is clocked higher and doesn't push as many pixels.
[General Topics] MiyagiSan:
Phablets have indeed gotten bigger since the 5.3" Note 1 but, the Moto G with 720p resolution didn't need a bigger screen (it's massive success as a 4.5" device is evidence of that) particularly given the resulting drop in ppi and battery performance.

I expected Motorola might upgrade cpu/gpu to maybe Snapdragon 800 or more likely 610/615 level, include a microsd slot, add a bigger battery, perhaps make 4G/LTE support a standard feature and, helpfully offer the dual-sim versions everywhere. Sadly, it did none of these...

Hey guys,

i search a phone for the normal use that means for whatsapp, sms, facebook, looking videos on boring train-trips, good battery life and I want that it is smooth three years! because my samsun galaxy s plus is not really smooth, when i have more apps open(facebook, music-app, whatsapp and the browser) then it will lag.

The sgs+ was my first smartphone and i did not really need another phone. but now the sgs+ is really laggy and have a very very very bad battery life.

The most important thing is a good Custom Rom Support.

Nexus 5 vs LG G3 vs OnePlus One

What do you think guys?

If you want a good Custom ROM support, OnePlus One or Nexus 5, but the last one is also the older, Take the OnePlus :)

Throwing it out to the collective:

I am due for a new phone from Verizon in about 3 weeks, and I need a phone that has absolutely no larger than a 5.5" screen.

With all the questions swirling around the Snapdragon 810, would you snap up an S5, G3 or One M8 or wait to see what HTC and Samsung have brewing for their March releases?

P.S. I have written off the Turbo because it's not 64 bit AND there is virtually no chance it will ever receive root/bootloader unlock. I am cool with one or the other but not both.

TIA.

Had the nexus 5, went back after 2days thats how great it was.not to mention a pathetic 32g of storage..terrible battery life and sub par camera.

OPO has a nice big screen, good battery and lots of development. Id miss ext sd card support and removable battery and god help you if you have any problem with it OP customer support has a brutal track record but its still a really nice device and you cant go wrong with the price.

G3 4k screen, same size screen as OPO but smaller device overall, ext sd card support, removable battery and development is taking off now that the locked bootloader has a work around. That said id imagine once 5.0 comes out from LG that work around will be patched.

Id go with the G3 regardless

[General Topics] s8freak:
Yes I'd agree just from others experience about the OPO customer service but if one can get around it the OPO is a fabulous device with TONS of development and XDA support.

The camera is very nice and the 64g memory should be sufficient for 98% of anyone's needs.

Its solidly built and the Sandstone black back feels like felt in the hand. I don't even have mine in a case with just a tempered glass screen protector.

I've been a Samsung Galaxy user swearing by them since the S2 thru S5 but I'll tell ya my S5 is gathering dust in my drawer. For$359.27 shipped its worth every dime.

Thoughts on what I should do?

I've got a bit of a dilemma....

I work for AT&T and I'm currently part of Samsung's Advocate program (given a free phone every 6 months to use as a personal and work phone). My previous phone was a rooted Note 3 running DynamicKat and customized to be my perfect phone. Oh how I miss it! The current phone I have now is a Stock Note 4 (not rooted as there is no root). I've been doing a lot of research on the Nexus 6/root process and that lead me to this question:

Should I stay with a FREE unrooted Note 4 or purchase a Nexus 6 and get it rooted/customized the way I want?

... or am I being a complete spoiled doucher and should quit complaining? Either way, I'd love your input/suggestions.

Thx :D

Yeah. I'm more of a sony fan, but I have to admit, the galaxy alpha is very stylish. I've seen it at person. If you like this phone so much and you're able to sacrifice the so called 2-day battery life the xperia z3 has, go get it. I'd advise you to check out some reviews first, so you can know what you're going after.
[General Topics] Planterz:
You really haven't seen this one yet? The specs and features on this thing are insane.

5.0" 1080p IPS LCD

SD 801 2.5GHz

3GB RAM

3100mAh removable battery

Kevlar and aluminum construction

IR blaster

Fingerprint scanner

64GB built-in storage

2x (yes, two) 128GB microSD card slots

IPx7 waterproof

Front facing stereo speakers

Rooted (or easily rootable) out of the box

Dual boot capable

21mp OIS rear camera, 13mp OIS front camera

Obviously, a SD805 would have been nice, but sticking with the 801 means keeping the price down; the Saygus V2 is expected to retail under $600.

Its made or at least put together in Utah [MENTION=4463570]force70[/MENTION] a small company based there.

[General Topics] silentkiller33:
Mine is a nexus 6.0
[General Topics] Planterz:
They're advertising LTE, and the company is out of Utah, so I assume it'll have LTE support in NA. Hopefully it'll have band 12 as well, in anticipation of T-Mobile rolling their 700MHz band. As much as I'd love to get this phone, I'll probably have to stay frugal and stick with the LG G2 I have my eyes on. But if it has band 12, I might not have the strength to resist.

---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 AM ----------

Root for the Z3/Z3C was just achieved without unlocking the bootloader, so not only are the DRM keys intact, they can be backed up!

I think it's a good price. Again, the 801 instead of the 805 is a bit of a shame, but all those features add up to one hell of a phone. They basically took every cool feature from every flagship and crammed them into a single device, meaning you don't have to weigh your options and compromise.

I think for my next phone I will stick with buying a Nexus based phone. I have been burned to many times buying phones with locked features. The bootloader of my current phone is locked so until I replace it I'm stuck worth stock, but I think sometime in 2016 I'm just going to go straight dev hardware.
[General Topics] Planterz:
Indeed. This thing is more spec'd out than my dang laptop. Mine has a dual core 2.2GHz (the V2 has 2.5GHz quad), 4GB RAM (but heavier OS than Android), 320GB hard drive (the V2 can max out at 320GB), 1366x768 screen (vs 1080p), etc. Crazy.
[General Topics] MiyagiSan:
There should be an automatic 30-day prison sentence for anyone selling/buying a new laptop with 1366x768 or less (basically less than 1080p) resolution. Stop buying it and forced the retarted manufacturers to quit churning out rubbish laptops and overpriced phone/tablets...
[General Topics] Planterz:
Hey, it was 6 years ago! It was pretty decent back then, but obviously it's showing its age. I'd always been a desktop gamer, but I grew tired of gaming, and I figured portability was more important. A few months later I got my first smartphone, and regretted buying a laptop ever since. I don't even use it as a laptop; it sits on a cooling dock, plugged into my 42" TV that sit in front of with wireless mouse/keyboard. Once I get my income tax refund the bulk of it is going to a proper desktop with at least 6 cores and 8GB RAM.
[General Topics] MiyagiSan:
I can't agree that 1366x768 was ever decent given that inexpensive laptops got to 1280x800 and 1280x1024 over a decade ago.

I have never seen or read of a tablet/smartphone/netbook/chromeboook (excluding x86-based Windows tablet/smartphone devices like MS Surface Pro & Lenovo Yoga) that has the performance and features to replace my ageing laptop.

Not sure what went wrong but most people seem unable to competently judge the value and utility of electronic devices (hence the willingness to pay more for an iPhone/iPod/iPad than they pay for a laptop). Netbooks & Chromebooks are two examples of recent bone-headed choices that some (objectively clueless) consumers have been willing to pay for...
[General Topics] Planterz:
Again, and not that it matters, but I've only used my laptop as a laptop (ie: taking it somewhere) on a handful of occasions. 1366x768 was just fine on those rare instances, and the rest of the time it's either plugged into my TV or my 23" monitor (which is now dead). I bought it with specific intentions, and it has suited me well. However, it struggles with what I want it to do now, and I need something with more power. And since I have a smartphone (2...soon to be 3 or 4) and a tablet, I really don't need a portable computer. Had I had a smartphone back when I needed a new computer, I probably wouldn't have bothered with a laptop. Typically I have Firefox open with several tabs, uTorrent downloading stuff, VLC playing a movie or TV show (or Amazon Prime/Netflix), etc. A dual core 2.2GHz with 4GB RAM just can't quite handle it all without hiccups and stalls.

The point that I was originally making is that the flagships of today (and tomorrow) like the Saygus V2 or Note 4 put my computer to shame, yet it's something I still use for hours every day. I also get 25-40Mb/s download speeds (12-20Mb/s up) through my T-Mobile connection, which is faster than I got with Cox's cable at my apartment. It just amazes me that we can fit inside our pocket a device that's more powerful and capable than computers from a mere few years ago. That's all I was saying.
[General Topics] MiyagiSan:
I was making a general comment about the inadequacy of 1366x768 resolution displays on a laptop and, also about the relative performance and usefulness (as a general computing device) of devices like smartphones/tablets/netbooks/chromebooks compared to "traditional" laptops/notebooks.

Having said that what is your "2.2GHz dual-core cpu"?. I doubt any of those devices can match a Core2Duo or Core i3/i5/i7 for cpu grunt. You might need to swap any mechanical HDDs with affordable SSDs. A 2.2GHz system shouldn't hiccup/stall on that workload.

I have the opposite experience, ARM- and Atom- based devices just can't match traditional laptops (not netbooks/chromebooks) for processing grunt. I share your appreciation of how far the smartphone/tablet devices have come though. Windows tablets like MS Surface Pro and Lenovo Yoga Pro are seriously impressive as only they can out-perform and fully replace "traditional" laptops (since that it what they are inside in a sense).
[General Topics] Planterz:
AMD somethingorother. Turion? I can't remember. It's 6 years old, 'nuff said. RAM is DDR2. I've thought about getting a SSD. At the very least, a SSD would cure the 10 minute cold boot times I sometimes get (no kidding - and my system is pretty clean). But right now I'd rather put that money towards a new desktop. The cost of SSDs has gone way down, so that'll probably be in the future anyway. I might even finally give Linux a try.
[General Topics] obscuresword:
I agree. Even lower end laptops should at least come with a 1600 * 900p screen. The only reason why manufactures keep using that resolution is to only increase their profit margins lol.

You're right. As smartphones get more powerful so do laptops. I believe right now the Snapdragon 805-800 have the single core CPU performance that rivals the Intel T3400 (2.16 Ghz), which came out in 2008. For multi-core they are equal to something like the i3-2310m (2.10 GHz) from 2011 or equal to one core on a desktop i3-4360 lol. Mobile tech is moving pretty quickly, since it has already caught up to 2008-2011 tech.
[General Topics] MiyagiSan:
Recent AMD cpus haven't matched the performance of Intel Core2Duo/i3/i5/i7 but, would still be surprised if a smartphone/tablet can outgun them. Core2Duo Linux systems with SSDs can handle more browser tabs open, more simultaneous apps and can do more in general than smartphones/tablets.

An SSD is a good 1st stage cure-all for PC performance issues. PC should boot in seconds, not minutes...

With current SSD prices, you can now get a 400GB+ SSD for what a 60-120GB SSD would have cost only a couple of years ago.
[General Topics] MiyagiSan:
I don't recommend buying a laptop with less than 1600x900 or 1440x900.

Manufacturers will continue shipping 1366x768 or worse as long as there are enough clueless buyers paying for them. These horrible displays make those overpriced smartphone/tablets seem "premium" in comparison.

It is incredibly dificult to source neutral, dependable facts about the relative performance of competing architectures but, using such devices side by side suggests that these mobile device SoC cannot

yet

compete with 2008-2011 laptop/desktop tech. Benchmarks may suggest otherwise but in actual use...meh!...YMMV...
