What do you guys think about the LG P880 Optimus 4x HD ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] WarningHPB:
Did you guys forget about the Wi-Fi thing with the HTC One X? About it being a manufacturing problem which should have been corrected by now but its nice to keep it in mind if you're gonna get a One X
[G2 and Desire Z General] jessv3:
I would be very keen to hear your review. Any reason why youre going with the one x over the one xl with Telstra?

Personally when my contract is up in October I will be going with the one xl with Telstra as the 4g speeds are so fast, i tested one down at my local telstra shop and was very impressive. Also I'm currently using my desire z on the optus network and I'm just over optus's crappy 3G speeds, it hangs too much.
[G2 and Desire Z General] btrst:
if you want to play games better, get one x. lots of games has nvidia support right now and the graphics difference on games with tegra support are really big between s3 and one x.

if you dont want to play games, get one x anyway.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mazdarati2:
1 im not going to buy this with an contract

2 the S3 is better than a iphone in drop tests, thats what i want

3 while testing, i could still experience some lag, and i dont like sense, uses way to much memory

4 and i want to try another launcher

5 the S3 offers an removable battery and a SD card slot, those are the main reason i dont want a one x
[G2 and Desire Z General] mazdarati2:
i still want the S3 because the processor is still a little bit better

Hey, and what about Galaxy Nexus? Maybe hardware is not as good as in GS3 or OneX but think about software updates.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mazdarati2:

[G2 and Desire Z General] magic_android:
I would love to get the xl but for me, it's too expensive. Telstra's idea of a "small" plan isn't exactly small for all people haha. I did try and win the One XL in a couple of competitions though haha, needless to say, I didn't win xD. I was also very impressed when I first tested telstra's 4g speeds at one of their stores. On an HTC Velocity 4g, i saw 3mb/s download speeds :O.

For me though, the issues that others have with the One X don't really bother me. I'm not fussed about using a micro sim, or having a non-user replaceable battery and no expandable storage. Also, development is already massively active for the One X and as such, if Sense doesn't work out for me, then i can just use Slim ICS or one of the many CM9/AOKP ROMs.

The main reason that i'm choosing the One X over the SIII is the build quality though. I dislike using cases and to me, the SIII feels far to flimsy. Otherwise, the SIII is a very admirable phone which I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. That's my own opinion though.

So yeah, keep an eye out for my review of the One X that i will post and then update in the following weeks.
[G2 and Desire Z General] waterscent:
One X

If you have the option of holding both devices in your hands, you will probably like the look and feel of X much better.

Please note that both X and SIII have different revisions (Hardware, cpu)

You might want to check which one is available in your area.

Unless you want to root your SIII, touchwiz will be a torture for most sense users.

Sense 4 is lightweight and is running on monster hardware.

so +1 for X

I had Desire Z for a year now, and few days ago I bought S3. I can't describe the difference to you when I turned it on for the first time. Display, speed, camera, everything is just amazing. Now I have a pretty good offer to trade S3 for One X and 150$ and I don't know what to do. Did someone hold both phones in hand to say which display is better, camera, speed, etc, etc. I don't mind non-replaceable battery and "just" 32GB of memory, build quality is what I'm searching for and SenseUI, because nothing can compare to it. Both phones are white and international versions. Thx
[G2 and Desire Z General] otariq:
Can't wait to buy my s3. I've held both phones at the store. The s3 was very light and felt thinner than the one x probably due to its lightness but feels bigger than the one x. The one x feels like a solid device but it felt a little to heavy but that's probably cuz it was strapped to a security lock. I tested out the cameras and to be honest couldn't tell a difference. I somewhat preferred the s3 its colors looked more vibrant and the pic just seemed "alive". To me they both felt really fast and the screen was amazing compared to the g2 lol. But when it comes down to build quality like u said i'd take one x but I prefer sd card and removable battery

S3>OneS>OneX, my preference if we consider performance, but I like One S the most.

Well here you go guys, I said i'd post a review for the One X and so here it is!.

Feel free to post questions in that thread for me and to pm me if you want to ask anything more specific. Also I'd love some feedback for the review so that I can make future reviews better.
[G2 and Desire Z General] zung0207:
S3 outperforms One X in all performance tests out there, but in reality we don't need that much horsepower in a phone. Quality of the S3 camera is also slightly better, I'm sure you've read that in multiple reviews. That's about all the pros of S3 to me.

Now, the on-hand experience says otherwise. As a Sense user, I love what they've done with 4.0. Can't bring myself to like the TouchWiz in current incarnation. It's just not as pretty, aesthetically.

Build quality of the One X is much better as well, with all that scratch/water resistant stuffs. And the gorgeous screen! Best screen in the market - it alone is enough to win me over.

HTC Media Link and S-voice are all just gimmick to me.

All in all, I'd exchange it to One X. Moreover, you're yearning for Sense UI :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] nicholaslimck:
The GSIII, as stated before, bests the One X in terms of raw performance; like its predecessor, it'll probably hold the position as the fastest Android phone for a while. Price-wise the One X is slightly cheaper than the GSIII, but the difference isn't too significant.

I guess it comes down to a preference towards Sense or TouchWiz, but there ARE always some people who prefer to go with stock or their own launchers, so perhaps brand loyalty, or other physical specs (which are pretty much on par with each other).

One X > Galaxy S3

also TouchWiz is very ugly!

G2 to S3

I actually just made the switch from the G2 to S3 yesterday. My S3 is now rooted with a debloated rom, Apex launcher, and JB theme. I think the first thing you'll notice is the weight difference and screen size. Being on tmo, I had to choose between the One S and S3, I felt that no external memory and removable battery were my deal breakers.

I love my G2 and the community we got, but it was just time to move on. Also, I'm already ordering a brushed silver/aluminum battery cover for my S3, just to get the G2 feel...lol.
[G2 and Desire Z General] leoni1980:
I've got both devices here and my options are as follows:

* The One feels nicer in the hand in terms of its build quality. It is also much more scratch resistant.

*The S3 is easier to use one handed because the power key is on the side. It can also be taken out of standby with the physical menu button.

*The S3 feels a LOT faster. If I've used my HOX for a day and pick up the S3 it is shocking just how much snappier it feels.

*Speaker is a little clearer and less tinny on the S3. Both are loud enough to do the job though. Neither holds a candle to the iPhone 4S

*the removable battery in the S3 makes me 'feel' happier about the long-term future of the device. Whilst this might prove to be silly, it's nice to know you can change your battery if it ever gets a bit crappy. The one in the HOX is very much a repair specialist's job to replace.

*something no one has mentioned on here is that battery life is MUCH MUCH better on the S3, so the non-removable battery is even more critical an issue. If HTC had made the HOX charge quickly like iPhone it might not be as much of a problem.

*HOX camera deals with low light much better than the S3. It can pick up details where the S3 only sees a dark patch; however overall the optics seem better on the S3, which shows more detail and less smeariness in normal situations, even when using third party camera apps on each device.

*S3 notification light has an almost infinite array of colours, which I find useful for discerning between Facebook, WhatsApp, SMS etc when I glance at my phone. HOX has only orange and green.

*The screen on the HOX is nicer than the S3 overall. It is brighter and more naturalistic and is easier to view in bright sunlight. There are scenarios where I prefer the look of the S3 screen but on the whole the HOX wins that round

*Signal strength seems to be better on the HOX. I get full wifi signal on the HOX and only two bars on the S3. This could be down to the way each manufacturer chooses to interpret 'strength' though. I've never had a problem with dropped connections or connection speed on either

*The front-facing camera on the S3 is leagues ahead of the one on the HOX. Much clearer and sharper. It also is flush with the glass so it doesn't clog up with lint and dust from the pocket. IMO the design of the front camera on the HOX is stupid.

*I prefer the look of Sense UI to Touchwiz, but Touchwiz is much nicer than.it used to be, and far from offensive.

*I don't like the USB port being on the side; I prefer the port to be on the bottom. Not a deal breaker, just saying...

So they're my random thoughts. I'm keeping both devices for now so don't hate either but I'm just a bit more on the side of the S3 for a daily driver. This is mainly down to its superior battery life and the fact that I just find it slightly more comfortable and easy to use because of the side-mounted power button/home button wake and the fact that there is a physical home button.

They're both awesome devices though.

[G2 and Desire Z General] kazuki1:
As much as i love htc phones i might go for the gs3 this time around. Most of my whole family has a one s and its pretty good, but the non removable battery, lack of micro sd slot, and the amount of storage the gs3 offers over the one is a deal breaker.

I have a big problem with Google Currents, as when I run MyBackUp it freezes when it comes to that app, or if I have background sync on in Google Currents, or when I try to uninstall the app.

I can't even factory reset under recovery as it always freezes when it tries to format 'data'.

Any ideas on how to fix?

I'm running CyanogenMod 9.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MapleSyrup:
Delete currents data manually (with a file explorer, a terminal or via adb). Try the whole directory first (in /sdcard/Android/data search for the currents directory), if that doesn't work, delete everything inside the directory first then delete the directory.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barryfell:
Thanks for your help.

I've now tried that with Root Explorer but can only get as far as deleting all the other files under com.google.android.apps.currents which aren't creating a problem. I am left with 2 directories I can't open or delete without the system freezing and requiring a restart.

Any other ideas?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MapleSyrup:
Try doing the same, but in recovery via adb, that way you'll be sure that currents is not in use. If you have directories inside com.google.android.apps.currents that can't be deleted, go inside those directories and delete everything inside, then delete the directories.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barryfell:
I can only drill down so far in com.google.android.apps.currents before I freezes. I can't get in to the 2 problem directories to delete any files in them.

I'll try and get my head round adb and see if I can delete it that way.

Thanks again.

Dude... Try to re flash the rom or port another rom... One more option is to take out sd card... Nd format it from your computer after copying your necessary data! :D

I've tried to reflash the ROM but I can't factory reset as it freezes when it tries to format /data. I've tried to flash another ROM as well (without a factory reset) but that didn't solve my problem and just gave me a less stable ROM as I didn't format /data.

The problem files aren't on the SD card, so taking that out and formatting it won't help.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barryfell:

Do you know what the adb commands are to move the app to the SD card? I can't find one.

Or even better just a way to uninstall the app using adb which will hopefully delete the problem directories with it. (Should do!)

Here there are several mods for app drawer background as well as many other mods.

Regarding the icons, you you want them to look different on your home screens, use an app called Desktop Visualiser. It allows you to use your own icons to replace the ones we include.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] RavingManiac:
If it's rooted already, why would you need to try and root it again? Do you mean you're trying to unlock the bootloader?

Follow this tutorial:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Live_with_Walkman:_Full_Update_Guide

That is what I used, obviously if you're not installing CM7, then stop after you've unlocked the bootloader. The test-point method if I got this right is only if you've got some kind of locked status on your bootloader that you can't unlock as per normal.

There's a code you can enter to check it, I think it goes like *#*#73... etc etc. look for it on the forums, or tutorials, it will tell you whether your bootloader is able to be unlocked or not.

I already mentioned this in another thread, but if you're using Windows, you should check task manager for multiple adb.exe processes instances. When i exited Flashtool, adb.exe remained opened and it caused similar problems. If that's your problem too, kill them all, and run flashtool again.

But like RavingManiac said, there's no need to root your phone if you already got root access :)

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] musebox:
I actually think it is not big enough. I have the Note but it was too wide for one-handed use, so when I saw the specs for the S3, I said 4.8 should be just right compared to the Note's 5.3 inch screen. But I have to admit I was a bit disappointed, I was expecting the S3 to be a slightly bigger. I see now that the phone is taller but still rather narrow. Don't get me wrong, though, I am loving the phone compared to my iPhone 4, so I am still happy overall! Now if the rumors turn out to be true about the Note 2, bigger screen but narrower and similar to the S3 in terms of curves, then it will definitely be my next phone.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Jbluna:
I suggest getting the flygrip. It's a finger grip and a kickstand. You stick it on the back of the phone and the adhesive will keep it in place. You'll never worry about dropping it and with your fingers in the position they are, you'll be able to reach all corners of the screen with ease. You can check it out at
