[Samsung Infuse 4G] sledgeharvy:
I remember searching the web everyday for leaks as to what the new Galaxy S3 would look like and specs, and the day it was officially launched I sat idly by the computer to get my first official glimpse of it online, and it didn't let me down. I love it in either of the 2 colors available.

Personally, I prefer the Marble White, but historically, I've always had a preference toward white electronics. It has nothing to do with the iPhone, because I can remember back in the day when cassette players and cd players were around I always though it was just a simple clean elegant look. Even though Metallic shiny was always the theme every manufacturer went for.

So I'm a little biased with wanting the S3, but there is something about the Sense UI that I have always loved. I can remember back in the days of TouchFLO 3D on the HTC Pure I wanted one, then the release of the G1 or HTC Dream, depending on where you live, and it running Android 1.0 it was just a beautiful interface to interact with. And always felt like HTC was just leading the pack with their UI's... and then you add their phone designs to the equation and you really start making phones end users just WANT to have. With the addition of Beats audio making their sound quality clear as day, even though before that they already were utilizing SRS Surround which was on the HTC Inspire I had right before making the switch to my Infuse, and I loved by the way...

Fast forward to today, and we're talking about 2 of the top phones in the industry and having to make a decision between the 2. My best opinion is when it's all said and done, it's going to come down to Brand loyalty. It's the classic battle we have always seen, know and love. You have your Ford Mustang lovers, then you have your Chevy Camaro lovers. Each car possesses it's own valid reasons to own them. Mustang has historically been the lighter of the two so it requires less horsepower to get the same results as the Camaro, which in general always came with the bigger engine. Okay sure unless you're talking about the BIG boy 428 Cobra Jet on the Mustang, and you look at the Yenko Camaro which had the 427, but honestly how many average people people are lucky enough to own those.. only a (breast full, lol) of people have ever had the pleasure of owning those. lol..

I know when it's my turn to upgrade from my Infuse, I'm going with the Galaxy S3. Simply due to the HD AMOLED screen which is already amazing on the Infuse and then Samsung finds a way to make it HD 720, simply amazing... Honestly, I just don't see how HTC can compete with such a gorgeous screen. Colors don't look washed out like they do on pretty much every other screen throw in the viewing angles and just WOW..

Well.. there's my $2 worth because sometimes 2 cents just isn't enough. lol.. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The_Zodiac:
everyone will pick one or the other due to personal preference.

anyways ive had my one x for 2 days now and i love it.

bought it over amazon for $150 (no tax) and called att today and got my upgrade fee waved, not bad =)

2 days in and im sure enough that im selling my infuse

my only real gripe is that we have a locked bootloader, although we already have root (for the moment, guessing itll be unlocked really soon)

and that not all apps have been updated for ics yet (although they still work, just look a little different)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] trdsnow:
I actually had a special circumstance. I have u-verse with att as well as two individual phone lines with them. Every month they seem to screw up on my bill which forced me to come in to get it adjusted every month. My uverse bill is connected to one of my phone lines. I came in and the gal that works there sees me every month... I asked her if I could get the upgrade price and she said yes. Lol. Simple as that. I think she figures that is the least she can do since I waste 30 minutes of my time every month coming in to get my stupid bill corrected. She asked her manager and he agreed. I had to purchase the stupid Jawbone Jam box in order for them to give me the phone at $199. He gave me the Jam Box for $100 plus $50 credit on my bill. So I bought both for $250 total.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] trdsnow:
Oh.... by the way... the girl was sweet enough to tell me that all I had to do was return the Jawbone the next day if I wanted. The phone would have still been only $199.

Android authority is so full of lies.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
one x pros

cheaper in many stores.

non pentile screen. true 720p resolution.

probably faster updates.

sense widgets

cons

sense limit on running processes. not good for power users.

less ram.

s-off requires disassembly of the phone.

gs3 pros

s beam adds WiFi into NFC sharing for fast file transfer.

amoled screen for bright colors and high contrast

unlocked boot loader and system partition

more ram

more running processes

bigger screen

cons

pentile matrix screen supposedly gives 720p resolution with less sub pixel but less sub pixels means less detail and artifacts.

may be more expensive.

touch wiz 5

bigger screen
[Samsung Infuse 4G] i9100g user:
Faster updates ? Touchwiz is con? Biggee screen? I can agree if these are your preferences but in general I can't agree.

Well s3 is more powerful and has better battery and hox has brighter screen
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kimpelry:
Personally I'd go with Samsung i like the screen better, and the phone fits in my hand better than the HTC
[Samsung Infuse 4G] i9100g user:
Hox might feel too big side to side and is difficult to use with one hand compared to s3.

But hox feels a bit premium too and s3 feels ok.

Hox shows better whites but s3 shows better blacks on screen.

----------------------------------
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ryanscool:
It all depends. The s3 may have some more power. If you get the one x+, you will get it with an over clocked tegra. The graphics are amazing with that processor. Then again it is harder to switch roms. Either way, they are a good upgrade from the infuse.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wdouglass:
I've been bouncing back and fourth on this topic, my upgrade comes up in 4 weeks. I'm between these two, or also the LG Optimus G

Cyanogen support is my major selling point...so far it's looking like SIII for me (I haven't heard anything about CM10 on the Optimus G, and the locked bootloader on the One X scares me), but it's a long month ahead!

I was even considering holding on to my infuse and waiting for the next galaxy phone to be announced/released, but since the CM10 thread got locked, i'm itching to upgrade.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dfballa:
Don't worry about the bootloader, it's very easy to unlock the bootloader. If you upgrade to the one x+ just use hansoon2000's toolkit to unlock the bootloader and flash recovery
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
touch wiz is ugly now and it's over done. i also think sense is a con.. stock android isn't lacking anymore but i admit the note 2 10inch looks apealing, the handwritingrecognition and other stylus features may make it a better tab experience but it's still not as appealing as the amazing screen on the nexus 10..... and in my opinion a phone should be operated with one hand, the best thing about the old captivate was the screen width was perfect for one thumb typing and swyping. both phones have screens that are too big (as well as my infuse) faster updates may no longer be true but historically samsung drops software support long before htc. it's not a given but history is something to consider.

and more powerful? by what definition is having the identical processors more powerful? yes the s3 has cool looking rom features but much of it is kinda gimmicky and it has more ram but how much ram does the phone really use? i personally had only 2 gigs of ram in my desktop till not long ago and was perfectly satisfied with the performance running linux. i only upgraded because ram was cheap and notice zero difference in the performance. too many resources doesn't always benifit the user it just lets developers get sloppy and/or create gimmicks to use it all.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wdouglass:
Is there a CM10 port for the X+ yet? It looks pretty awesome!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dfballa:
There's actually not CM10 for one x+ because there hadn't been many devs to work on it. Soon to come out I hope!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] i9100g user:
What I said was that you consider touchwiz or sense a con is your personal preference and it could change for other person, also I was comparing the international hox and international sgs3 in benchmarks international sgs3 performs better,also games which are not optimised for Tegra3 lag on hox whereas they run smoothly on s3 , tegra effects could also be used on s3 with chainfire 3d,so no advantage for hox here.

And about the update issue,i think s3 is the phone which received jb update (officially) fastest (don't count nexus in it).

And also 4.2 update is imminent in January for note 2 and s3.I don't care what was the history I care what is happening now.Even hox received jb update past week or month so.

Now if you want faster updates then go for nexus lineup but you cant consider updates a con when comparing hox and s3 because updates for the phones have released close to each other.

And I am not saying which phone is Better it comes to your preference to make a decision.I was just telling some plus points of s3, hox is great too , has a stunning unibody design, a brighter screen (specially useful under sunlight), better camera for low lighting conditions etc.

Both are great phones buy which suits you more never regret what buy :)

[Samsung Infuse 4G] afrojoc:
HTC One X doesn't have as many neat features as the s3 which makes this an easy decision for me. Although I do have an iPhone lol, my previous phone was an HTC one x. Sense is cluttered and non optimized..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
what's the problem with my opinions that you insist on pulling them apart? did they offend you? do i need a disclaimer that my post is opinion based? i mean if the op can't figure that for himself and take it for what it is that's his problem. i don't see what it has to do with you that you insist on commenting.

i didn't favor either phone. and i don't think i said much that is misleading. maybe both phones will get timely updates for a long time, one thing about samsung is they to some extent listen to the developer comunity and actually hired the creator of cm so hopefully they take some input on the relationship they have with the android community.

if the op asked what phone? i'd say nexus 4, it's not perfect but it's a nexus and a powerhouse and that counts for something. but he asked which of these phones? i don't have a favorite but i do think the hox often being cheaper and the screen not being pentile matrix it's makes more sense. now what i didn't cover is the s3 atleast the international version (didn't look into the us versions) has a wolfson dac/headphone amp. i also believe certain formats play at the native sample rate at a hardware level, no conversions. so if you are an audiophile and not some kid that gets caught up in monster cables and beats by dre advertising you may appreciate that aspect but if you are swayed by artificial software based filtering to make the bass fuller then you may like the sound of the htc, after all much music is poorly mixed and does sometimes need some enhancement. also s-beam is actually a compelling feature over android beam, not that i think i'd use it, but faster is better. so if you know others with s3's or note2's that may be a decision maker.. either phone makes perfect sense to somebody.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AbstractMind87:
I'm not sure if this was mentioned a few pages back or not, but in response for someone mentioning unlocking the bootloader, its an easier process to root a Samsung phone, Odin up a custom recovery, and flash a custom ROM on it. While it is possible, the One X with At&t, not the +, but the original One X under At&t, comes with firmware 2.20 and that didn't allow newer users the ability to root and unlock the bootloader through pre- existing means. While it was possible, a new exploit needed to be discovered and fortunately it was. Unfortunately, the hboot version was 1.14 and didn't allow for S-Off. So flashing roms wasn't as simple as it should have been.

Flashing a rom requires those with 1.14 hboot to fastboot flash the boot.img of the rom they intend to flash, then boot into recovery, (namely TWRP because CWM isn't supported on the At&t One X) and then do the wipes and formats, then flash the rom and reboot.

Figured I would throw in some input as a former Infuse owner. I had a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, but took it back. Wanted something new after having it repaired by Samsung. I've got the One X now and I love it. We have decent Cyanogen Builds, as well as AOKP ans other AOSP and Sense based roms. I didn't go for an S3 because I wanted to see what Android was like under a banner other than Samsung, and because I couldn't stand the curved shape and iPhoneish familiar home button on the bottom. Coming from the Infuse and Skyrocket, I wanted 4 capacitive buttons. The One X has 3. Hope this helps

The more i think about this, the more i realize i just want to keep my infuse! maybe i'll let my contract run out and switch to a prepaid sim...

I'll get a new phone when development for the infuse dies...which doesn't look like it'll be this month (maybe next?), by then some new hotness will be out...

I have unlocked my bootloader using se's official unlocking mehod. I want to install CWM and a custom ROM. How to do it? Please reply soon.

How will I know if my bootloader is unlocked?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
CWM installation is not needed.

First install custom kernel, which is given with the ROM or if it is stock GB based ROM, use Rage or X kernel.

After that you already have CWM, so just enter it and install the ROM.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
This isn't really a question, but a discussion of what ROM you are using and why, that''s why I don't think this should be in the Q&A section.

I've tried a few ROMs, from LiquidSmooth to AOKP and I've tried a few kernels as well, from Glados to Franco and I've made up my mind.

I think AOKP is the best ROM right, and Milestone 5 being the best build of AOKP. It has a good battery life, awesome performance, and a massive amount of settings. I though about mentioning CM9 first, since it also has good battery speed and awesome performance, but it doesn't have all those features I need.

The best kernel to go with AOKP is undoubtedly Franco's kernel and his best build is the Milestone 3. I have tried Imoseyon's kernel, Trinity kernel and Galdos kernel and Franco's is still the best one. Also having Franco's kernel updater app makes everything even better!

Of course, this is all personal, which means this is what I think and you may have a mix that work better for you. I just though I'd share my input. Now, please share your input.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
BAMF Paradigm or my own AOSP build. I don't mess with kernels much past what comes with rom (Not to say others shouldn't). I have been using imnut's pbj kernel the last few days, however.

Reasoning: Not so many tweaks that they end up conflicting with each other, time was taken to use proper signing keys, and the modifications are thoroughly tested before release.

I don't tell people what to use, as I let them make up their own mind. Just know I don't use anything I deem poor quality.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pmcee:
Got my nexus one week ago. flashed the most popular Roms here (but cm9) and was kinda disappointed. Coming from a galaxy s2 with roms full of bugs I expected the nexus roms to be stable because of the open nexus. But most of the roms been unstable and buggy for me too.

Now I found a good combination of Rom and kernel:

Bamf and glados kernel.

So far the most stable and battery saving combination for me. Using it since 24 hours and no FC or freezes so far. Think I'll stick with it.

Mods are cool too I just don't like the quick settings look in the notification bar and the not modable power menu. But I can live with that.

Next time I get a decent chance I will try out a few more :D

I tried almost everything we have for now and stick to Modaco ROM because it's the smoothest of all, other roms are greatly customisable like CM9 or AOKP but they all lag here and there and i can't stand it/ The battery life is almost similar in all roms and it depends more on kernel you've chosen. I'm fine with franco milestone3. However I don't use nightlies because every of them gave me a random reboot at least once.

Have never tried Aokp. Crazy I know.
