Didnt google buy motorola? I bet it wont be long before all of the nexus line is motorola.... :(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cccy:
You need more RAM only when you use more than that amount. If you use 512mb of RAM, 1 or 2 GB makes no difference. And few phones have 2GB of RAM, so Android apps would not be designed to use that much. Just like how a computer with 2TB of RAM would just be a waste.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robstunner:
I'd like to think of it as future proofing if anything. My PC has 16GB of ram. Do I need it? Not even close, but its nice to have.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cccy:
You'll need a larger capacity storage and much more powerful processor in the future. Getting just more RAM isn't going to help future-proof you phone much. Not to mention, 802.11ac wireless is coming our way soon and USB 3.0/Thunderbolt are all working their way into computers, but even the Galaxy S III doesn't future-proof you from that. If you are really looking into future-proofing your phone, don't buy one now, buy one in the future (And when you reach "that future", that particular phone's specs will not be future-proof too).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:

Google stated that the moto acquisitionwon't affect the nexus choice. They care about who offers the best device for the job.

Overrated. I played with my one x side by side with the gs3. Real Life usage is all that matter. You can all argue and get in a spec war if you want. I won't.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nugzo:
Of course that is the correct thing for them to say.:angel: If I was betting I'd put my money on a Motorola nexus.. Maybe not this or next year.. But it happens. Who knows, this could be great. Now google gets 100% say of how the phones are designed and built. :eek: They could turn Motorola in to the must have device. Certainly that is their goal, to have the best device. Only time will tell.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] look_alive:
So, if they don't release a Motorola Nexus device next year, are we to believe that Google feels their new manufacturing company (Motorola) isn't making the best Android devices?

That's a pretty sharp double-edged sword they just handed themselves. Either they "make the best Android devices" or they don't. One choice gets them the DOJ hammer, the other choice makes it appear they aren't confident in their newly-acquired manufacturing arm. :confused:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JBM12G:
Google acquired Motorola for their patents; they needed them to defend other android manufactures from patent trolls (Apple). If Google showed favour towards Motorola, even though they own them, it would hurt the relationship they have with the other android manufactures.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SkyeHack:
more RAM doesn't ever hurt. my gaming computer has 16 GIGs of it. I been thinking to upgrading to 32..... :eek:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] niceppl:
lol but you are plugged to the wall..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dkirchik:
Haha you and me both. But depending on Intel or Amd 32 gigs at 2000mhz+ would near double the I/O rate over just 16gigs.. when you upgrade that high in my experience you need faster ram of lower latency. Like 7. But the Sammy doesn't do that. I have played with the SGSIII its a savage with multitasking but the battery is near the same as the 4s.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tomatoes8:
AMOLED don't forget that OLED has instant refresh rates and LCD is slow as molasses. You might not trade LCD for OLED right now, but you will.

That oversaturated nonsense is just that. It is still an LCD technology and if it used a backlight and colour filters it would look exactly the same. No point in using a backlight though although some Sony OLED tech does use white LEDs to make it brighter.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hunt3r.j2:
AMOLED has instant refresh rates, but LCD has refresh rates that are good enough to not matter, we aren't playing Quake 3 on our phones.

The oversaturated nonsense is very real, but AMOLED is nothing like LCD tech because it's self illuminated. The real problem is that Samsung needs to have a setting of some sort that can maintain solid screen color calibration even as the pixels degrade over time. That would solve the issue and no one would complain about how it's oversaturated.

Anyways, in my opinion the One X would be an easy recommendation if it had microSD and 2 GB of RAM, so I hope to see these things in combination with something just as exciting as the One series this year without the One series problems. (various bugs and small stutters in the OS, it needs to be as trouble free for normal people as the iPhone!)

That's what supercurio is for j/k. He's sure to come out with a color control app. Say what you want, but the dev for the Samsungs is 2nd II None
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hunt3r.j2:
That's good, but there should be a setting out of the box. Call it Professional mode or something inside the display mode.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rquinn19:
They added different color settings but none really change it to a more true color
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tylerdurdin:
So true.... I love Sammy but the color representation is not even KIND of accurate..... it is absurd how embellished the colors are.

What does 2gb of RAM have to do with screen technologies?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mobilehavoc:
This thing has gone off the rails.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robstunner:
agreed, he's a master at that stuff. The common person isn't going to complain about color saturation of their screen so I'm my opinion supercurio is the answer to all the people complaining about it since 99% of them are modders anyway.

Run on sense but I'm too lazy to correct it
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] destroyerbmx:
I was on the fence with all the delays but you made it clear that the development just wont be there for the One X as it is with Samsung.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hunt3r.j2:
I would say that development for the US GS3 won't be anything like how it is for the international variant, because we don't really have a "clean" base to work with, so either we're going to have to use an international base ported to work on our phones, or we'll have to port in international phone assets.

The One XL is being sold in Asia, Europe, Australia, and North America, so there are plenty of bases to work with. I don't believe there's a WWE base, but I'm guessing that some bases will have something that would look more like what WWE would look like.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tylerdurdin:
What?.....this is completely nuts....I hope you don't believe this.....

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hunt3r.j2:
Compare the development on the Galaxy Note LTE and the international version.

The One XL is actually sold in Germany with 32GB of internal storage by Vodafone, sold in Australia by Telstra, sold in Canada by Telus and Bell, sold in Asia in general, etc...

The GS3 LTE so far has only launched in Japan and NA.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tylerdurdin:
OK I will compare.....the international note is on many carriers throughout Europe and Asia. The US note, is on ONE carrier and has different hardware ...therefore less development.

HTC One x in Europe same thing different hardware, but the US, Rogers and Telus OneX have the same hardware and are seeing development also.

The US GS3 is on 4 carriers and and is the same phone on all four.....it will see a ton of development..... I don't even understand what your talking about with "bases" and stuff.....the US version is the same base. To top it off Samsung dumped the source on these devices already....development will be fine.

If hardware is the same then development for the most part is totally compatible. What you are saying is way off dude.

I have a One X and an S3..

I don't notice a need for the extra RAM for my daily use..

IMHO comparing the RAM on these 2 devices is pointless at the moment because the One X multi-tasking issues has NOTHING to do with it having one GB of ram..

I don't see international users of the S3 complaining about RAM or multi-tasking issues...

1GB is fine for 99% of users and every other phone on the planet with 1GB runs just fine..

If / when HTC fixes this issue, the One X will scoot along just fine with what it has..

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Scott:
Well, I just had to chime in and keep the thread going...

Lets be honest when answering this next question...

If you have the choice to buy your HOX with either 1GB or 2GBs of RAM and the cost differential was minimal, what one would you get?

Be honest answering that.

I honestly feel that the 2GBs of RAM, although not for everyone, is the better choice.

I say this in all my threads; Each person will have a different experience on the exact same device / ROM. This is because each person is different and they use there phones differently....

Now to play devils advocate...

I myself, with the memory mods I created, dont feel the need to for more RAM. I think the device, with my latest 3.1.1 ROM has attained a decent level of performance, both CPU wise and Memory wise. But keep in mind this is a custom ROM. IF we are talking about bone stock devices... I would still want the 2 gigs.

But once again... If I had the choice when I bought mine... Im going with 2 gigs of RAM. Its better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it.

With that being said... The only thing at this time stopping from getting an SG3 is the screen. I have not personally seen the screen but many say its inferior to the HOX and that, to me, is the most important feature of the device; the screen. The HOX pwns all until I am proven wrong and can play with an SG3. Also, my point shines through again.. Everyone has different needs and different usages patterns there fore requiring different devices.

PS: Sorry didint mean to turn this into a Scott's ROMS thread but I am pointing out in some odd way that both phones are great and can be tweaked to perform far better than the OEM makes them.

Maybe I am jsut rambling... muscl relaxers kicking now... :D

-Scott
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dkirchik:
I agree with what you said. When/if a one x comes out with 2gigs I'm on board for that in a heart beat. With CPU and ram more is always better :p
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] raqball:
I agree with everything you said Scott and I'd gladly take 2GB of RAM in the One X...

The topic of this thread is "2GB of RAM makes a huge difference" and I find that to be 100% FALSE...

The S3 screen is OK but the One X screen smokes it..

My S3 will probably go back to AT&T next week as I've decided to keep the One X..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] n19htmare:
I may not use 2GB of RAM, hell, There may not even come a time when I really do need 2GB of RAM.

However, I do use my screen, well every time I USE the phone. SO for that reason alone, I decided to stick with the One X.

I may need that 2GB of RAM 1% of the time, but I stare at the screen 100% of the time.

There hasn't been an instance where I couldn't get my work done because I ran out of RAM on my mobile device. Android memory management works well, even with the butchered management by HTC, it works just fine. Move improved with CLEANROM (Thanks scrosler).

I don't think I could ever give up the screen quality for some additional rom.

After using Touchwiz for 2 years, enough is enough.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SmiLey497:
Screw you guys, my SG III has 4 cores!!!!!:p
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tspx23:
SG3 is meh. I traded my One X + a lot of cash to get my hands on one, and I am regretting it at the moment. However, if I got it via a straight trade, I'd def be a happy camper.

The only thing I really prefer on the SG3 is the camera. Everything else: design, build quality, performance is a toss up. Also I do need to say I prefer the SLCD screen over amoled, it's a lot more natural.

I don't see any performance advantages of having 2gb versus 1gb on the One X, they are just as fast.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rquinn19:
Want a like new one x and a handful of cash??? :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dkirchik:
Haha. Gonna crumple up a bunch of $1's?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rquinn19:
Not as many as you probably spent. But since the sgs3 is "meh" it sounds like a good deal. :D. Just had to try. To be honest if the sgs3 came out first I'd probably have it and by now I'd be trying to trade for a one x. I have gadget a.d.d.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] StunGod:
Getting ready to pick up my new SGS3 in the next week or so - I'm pretty excited. One thing I'm wondering about: has anybody installed a different launcher instead of TW? I'm pretty fond of Nova Launcher and would like to keep using it instead, but don't know if there are any weird issues with trying to use it.

If nobody knows, I'll just post back after trying.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] divinewisdom:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Baldilocks:
Yes. Downloading Home Switcher makes it easier.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] kingwp1:
I've already tried Launcher Pro, Zeam Launcher, Nova Launcher, and Apex Launcher. They all work great. Though, I think I like the features in Apex the best. I'm sticking with that for the time being.

This reminds me of a question I had:

In the TW launcher you can use that big weather widget, but when you run a different lauancher from the market, that widget is not available. Does anyone know how to get that one to show up in a third party launcher?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] altitude909:
Yeah, as much as I wanted to use TW, apex blows it away performance wise. The weather widget seems to be specific to TW. Its cool and all but I paid for beautiful widgets years ago and that one is just as good
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] kingwp1:
I got Fancy Widgets for free a long time ago form the Amazon App Store. I'm using it instead. The onlything the TW weather widget has going for it is looks. I was just curious.

By the way: I ran across this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1604570

It's a vote for Apex or Nova
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Baldilocks:
Apex and Nova do pretty much identical things. Nova just seems to be less problem free for me. No lags, shutters or slow downs. Can't say the same for Apex.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] kingwp1:
I haven't had any performance issues, but then again I've only had my phone for a couple days. I know from a different thread you've had yours for a while now. I like Apex because it seems to have more features in the free version than Nova does.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Baldilocks:
Probably so. I have the paid versions of both.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] zmore:
Nova launcher is based on the original ICS launcher source, as is the Trebuchet launcher included by default in CyanogenMod9. Development on Trebuchet has slowed to a standstill these past few months, though, so I'll probably be using Nova next (which has more features anyway), as I'm used to it being most similar to the vanilla ICS launcher.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] acPIZZA:
+1 for nova, although I'm using the stock TW now

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You might have to flash a couple of the other major ROMs out there and see what suits you. What's best to one might not be best to another. I currently like the Evervolv ICS ROM because the GPS is the most stable (no crashes) than on any ROM I've ever run, including stock and rooted 2.1. I like other features of ICS, but there's caveats like the camera doesn't work right.

I ran GSB for a long time before that, but as CondemnedSoul's was compiled most recently (off of more recent source files), I'd be tempted to stick with it unless there's something in particular you find lacking.

The official CyanogenMod ROM was updated recently for the Eris as well. I haven't tried the most recent version. For a reason I don't remember, I didn't use the old version for very long, and I went back to GSB at the time.
