[Motorola Photon 4G] John Kotches:
my top candidates are the Galaxy Note 2 and the One x+. But I'm not upgrading until February or March so the landscape could be different then.
[Motorola Photon 4G] GPhoenix:
Well considering the Photon 4G in the US uses CDMA then yes that would be true but if you don't want to be on Sprint or other CDMA carriers. Otherwise, I think it is a good phone if you are already on a CDMA carrier but need the flexibility of support for traveling internationally and use local carrier GSM networks. I am currently in Asia right now and the phone works just fine on multiple carriers in Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Anyhow it is a moot point now really, I am in agreement with you that users who are looking for a new phone at this point in time should steer away from the Photon as other phones that are more capable and have better specs are available. :good:

My suggestion is how about the Lenovo P700i which is an dual core dual sim dual standby GSM Android ICS phone with a nice battery life due to its 2500 mAh battery?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Demonlinx:
Love the Photon!

I'm going to have to agree. I love the dual core and all of the roms put out by Th3Bill and CM10 that has now been ported to the Photon 4G.

The camera on this phone sucks and there's no autofocus while recording videos. sucks ass. Plan to sell it.

[Motorola Photon 4G] cyberdog433:
Personally, I played with a Note II at the Sprint store for half an hour or so and it's pretty nice and to my surprise appears to have a great radio in it! - Finally, a Samsung device that holds a signal better as well as my Photon. I had them side by side and the GN2 matched the signal reading and actually beat it by 2-3 DB (lower negative number) about half the time, I was impressed enough that I cam home and ordered one. I've been elligible for an upgrade for months and a nice quad-core with a good radio convinced me to do it. If you wonder why I ordered, I had a customer loyalty credit that can only be used online, which the store couldn't apply.

PS: Anyone looking for a rooted and unlocked Photon rocking CNA 3.6.6? - Don't know whether to sell it or keep and set it up on a GSM prepaid carrier for a spare.
[Motorola Photon 4G] heywired:
Yea I agree. I'm pretty much in the same boat as you for the Note 2. Me Likey! :P
[Motorola Photon 4G] ALBERTOSCLN:
no no no ,i had the photom 4g and its a great phone ,,,after that i bought the galaxy s3 and the signal is so bad after that i switched to iphone 5 which has problem with 3g...now i have the lg optimus but i seen the radio is not so good signal strenght ,,,,i just care about reception and photom 4g is number one,,,,,i will buy it again....
[Motorola Photon 4G] yangj08:
As an owner of an ISW11M (KDDI Photon) with an unlocked bootloader and Th3Bill's CM10.1-

Can't say a thing about stock ROMs. Don't plan on trying. But be careful about the bootloader- KDDI released an update that leaves the system version at 2.3.4 but perma-locks the bootloader. If the stock SMS app only receives SMSes, you're still safe. Unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM. If the stock app does two-way texting, it's too late.

I got one because it was cheap and is ridiculously easy to unlock for American GSM compared to the Sprint version- at the cost of probably never being able to use Sprint.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Wiicked08:
S3!
[Motorola Photon 4G] BobBruff:
Evo?

Sorry for trying to bring this thread back from the dead (and for the rhyming), but did anyone make the jump from the Photon to the EVO 4g LTE? Thoughts? Should I go for that or for the Optimus?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
Left Photon for Samsung Galaxy Note II. But............darn near any smartphone you pick now days is a good move. Quad-Core and now Octa-Core is out? More memory? True HD 1080P? 13MP Cameras? Its a personal choice. JMO
[Motorola Photon 4G] hirent:
The EVO LTE is a year old now, if you are upgrading and signing a 2 year contract, go with a newer model.

I wanted to get the Note II but it never came down below $200 (or so) for upgrades and then the 2013 models arrived with their 1080p screens and Snapdragon 600 SOCs.

I myself upgraded to the HTC One (just last Friday) and am loving it so far.

Great design, amazing metal casting, Full HD 1080p display, Optical Image Stabilization, 32GB emmc w/ 26 GB available and the list goes on.

The only drawback for me is lack of SD card slot. However, it supports USB OTG out-of-the-box, no rooting required.

The price is cheaper than most flagships, and HTC has been offering a $100 trade-in rebate.

Newegg has the cheapest price @ $130, which is where I bought mine.

Good Luck in whatever you decide.

[XPERIA X10 General] WilhelmPrice:
Hey guyz, I just got an X10 used, it was running on a Wolfbreak ROM and the year old battery drains 4% per hour on minimal use and even just burning a mere 3% in 3 hours when screen off, I was quite satisfied with that bcoz I understood it was a used up old battery but the ROM was just so buggy and it's prone to freezes and glitches so my friend told me to do a full wipe and get back to stock gingerbread 2.3 and i did but the problem is the battery life got even worse, it burns 10% per hour(even when screen off) now. I tried everything, advanced task killer(aggressive, when screen off, security level low), turning off wifi/bt/gps/background data syncing, I set brightness to 25% but it's still like that.

TLDR: ROM was buggy so I went to stock gingerbread and Battery life got worse when I went to stock gingerbread

So I've decided to resort to having a custom ROM again, which ROM is the best for battery life?

the answer might be Wolfbreak and the one I had wasn't that stable

EDIT: or maybe post an alternative method of improving battery life, that I wasn't aware off lol

IMPORTANT UPDATE 5/23:

Hey thanks to all who have downloaded and checked this out. I guess there must be minimal issues since I've yet to hear of any since posting. This should be good for at least next few FXP updates since most of 7.2 is already in-place. Although I do plan an upgrade to a final status with this I may try and wait for the Official release which I suspect is right around the corner. Awesome work by the way and many Thanks to the FXP team for an already KILLER rom. I'm now turning attention to CM9 however in the interim if there are any issues or questions regarding this package don't hesitate to hit me up. Thanks Everyone, eb

Fellow X10-FXP-S Enthusiasts

I've been working on various theme mods in effort to achieve Xperia-S look and feel on latest FXP releases. I really had only planned to use it personaly but have since decided to share what I have so far and see if it helps anyone.

It still needs plenty of tweaks so if there's enough interest Ill be happy to continue working towards finished versions.

Thank me if you dig it and let me know if you have any positive feedback or require additional instruction, etc. Enjoy

Listen-Anybody wiling to contribute to this effort is most certainly welcome to have at it. There are many things that I've encountered(primarily cosmetic, rom is very stable) that are quite simply beyond my current capability.

BOTTOM LINE:

I love the new Sony themes, apps,etc-I love what FXP stands for and is all about-I love the performance and flexibility of Cyanogen, enough said.

Simply put this is merely my feeble attempt to 'have my cake and eat it too".

Yes my man, I do know very well of you're work but you are right in the later. This is not a ROM, just an extended theme if you will for cm7.

I do keep up with this forum and firmly believe it is populated by some of the coolest and genius minds in the Android community. Although I'm about to upgrade to an ION I will be keeping my X10 on full blast for that very purpose.

As mentioned in my initial post this was aimed to fill a personal need to bring "S" type look and feel to a Cyanogen base which is very similar to what you've been doing. I guess you could say maybe this could be concidered the "Theme" equivalent to your efforts. I could be wrong but through my search I have yet to find the "S" equivelant of such or I simply would've used it. That's not to say someone isn't working on the same damn thing at this very moment. But hey, from what I've seen in other forums & devices I say the more the marrier. After all that's kinda what AOSP's all about right?

Lets just hope & pray it stays that way.

Much Love, much Love.

Offcoarse and absolutely.

I'll look into mediafire, long as they don't want my blood type and first born cause I'm not down w that.

In the meantime if u can manage to get the "MAIN THEME" zip it contains everything already formatted. I think the digitalclock widget is what you want. As I'm sure you well know it took me forever to get the right elements together to get even close to that.

If I'm not mistaken its the SomaThin from Champ's port but not completely sure since its now Clocktopia.

If you mean the lockscreen clock I believe that's an ICS hybrid from ThJap's ROM...maybe.

See what I mean about the list of credits.LOL

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mad_Duke:
Hi!

Couldn't find a solution for this. I first noticed it in the stock camera app and it won't store anything on my phone. I can't access anything when I connect the phone to USB (tried with usb debugging and without because that solved it one time in another rom). I would really just flash another rom, but because I can't save anything on the phone ergo I can't do a backup of my apps and settings and that would really be... time consuming.

I can mount USB storage from the recovery so that is not an issue. I "googled" last hour for the solution but couldn't find so apologies if it was answered somewhere else because I couldn't find it. Wanted to post in the development forum but don't have 10 posts.

Thanks in advance and keep up the awesome work :)

Attention!

In light of all the posts that are deleted and/or closed due to many off-topic posts about what device a person should buy, I have created this official thread.

Although XDA is not a place to extensively talk about what device person should buy, some forums permit it. So to help keep the threads a little cleaner, you may post your questions here.

Granted there are other sites more into device reviews and comparisons, but in the interest of keeping some people happy, and to avoid getting posts deleted, this thread is created for people who have no idea what device to get.

In the end, you should still march your happy self to a shop, and play with the devices that are available. Only then will you be satisfied with your purchase.

Any posts elsewhere asking such questions, that should be in this thread, will still be deleted or closed. This includes posting multi-duplicated posts in several forums outside of official threads.

Thanks, and Hope you use this.

Since I'm having problems with the LG Revo, my question is should I wait for one of the quad-core phones to come out, or grab a droid razr or google nexus?

I'm a bit new to the android scene, and just wonder how much of a difference do we expect to see in terms of power between the current phones and quad-core.

There's already a quad-core phone out but the U.S version is a dual core since no 4G with quad

Hi everyone!

This is my first post here,so I am sorry if I am not supposed to post this question somewhere else.

Well,as the title says,I need your opinion for a purchase I want to do on a Android smartphone.

To be honest I am confused!:(

Okay to be more specific,the phones I really liked most are the following :

1)Samsung Galaxy S III

2)LG OPTIMUS 4X HD P880

3)HTC ONE X

And there is one rumored :

4)LG LS970 Eclipse 4G LTE(not compatible with my country's carriers,but I believe that this phone will be released to other countries too)

Now you might be wondering why am I looking for rumored phones,well consider this as a stupid thing that I always do with things I want to buy.:D

According to the budget,I will say that I can give 500-700$

I want the phone mostly,for emails,organizer,calendar,browsing on the internet,movies and most important for development.

So which one you recommend?I have heard tons of things for each phone.Please justify your answer.It would be really helpful!:)

1) RAZR MAXX

2) HTC Rezound

3) Galaxy Nexus

I'm looking for a good phone with a lot of support here on XDA. Any advice would be appreciated.
