[General Questions and Answers] _MetalHead_:
I'm speaking specifically of the S4 version of the One X which does not have any of the problems that the Tegra version has. In no way does the S3 rape the S4 One X in terms of performance or battery. They have the same SOC so they are completely comperable. Battery life in the S4 One X is ridiculous. I can get 2 days and over 6 hours screen on time. That's unheard of with android.

Sure the S3 is polycarbonate but it FEELS like a cheap plastic POS. And blue or white? Where's the black? They look like shiny plastic toys and they are fingerprint magnets. The One X feels solid and looks soo much nicer. I really think the build on the S3 belies the actual power of the phone. And sorry man, I'm glad you like the SAMOLED screen but it just can't touch the SLCD2 of the One X. Every reviewer on the internet thinks that the One X's screen is superior because well, it is. The S3's screen is over saturated, not bright at all, doesn't have the viewing angles that the One X has and the pentile is terribly noticeable. If it was a SAMOLED + it would be a different story but it's not. Pentile is a hideous technology and really destroys what would be a high quality screen. Also, at least on the blue model, the glass is tinted blue so the SCREEN is tinted blue. I couldn't believe it when I saw it. Even the deepest black on the S3 has a noticeably blue tint to it. I saw it, the rep at the AT&T store saw it, and my buddy who owns one sees it and hates it. The only reason he got the S3 over the One X was because he needed the SD slot.

The S3 is a great device, no doubt, but when you take everything into acount, I really feel the S4 One X is a much better phone. I'm glad you like your S3, but to me it's akin to a family having a retarded child. They may love it to death, but it doesn't change the fact that it's retarded. :p

Coming from a Mytouch 3G, then Mytouch 4g, I had enjoyed the HTC experience, then I switched to the Samsung Galaxy S2, it completely blew my mind from the HTC line! now, I know the newer HTC devices have come back and are amazing phones, however, I now have the Galaxy S3 and still couldn't be happier, it is an amazing device and I am happy I made the choice to switch over from HTC to Samsung.

I have done a full review which you can check out on my blog (linked in acct info)

hope this helps :)

Samsung Galaxy S3 .... If you like big phones.. :silly:
[General Questions and Answers] Ming Wu:
I know how you feel. Any way if your getting a new phone you should get the galaxy s3. But if you want a galaxy s type phone then you should get the galaxy ace 2. It has an 800mhz prosesor dual core so it works like a 1 ghz prosesor but since the second core can be turned off when not needed the battery life on the galaxy ace 2 is increased greatly.

But by all means if you want a 4 core phone full of pow then you should get the galaxy 3. It has s voice. Also has the eye detection. So if you look away from the screen it will turn off. The s3 has a memory card slot. Lots of four core phones don't have that. It will be able to charge wirelessly in a couple of months.

So it really does come down to if you want to spend a hefty amount on a phone that you will probably keep for a few years.

Good luck on your new phone hunt. Hope I helped

PS sorry for the spelling. Btw I'm 13 :)

HTC one X in my opinion :p
[General Questions and Answers] Zelgie:
Right now, I love my Samsung galaxy s3. But if you are an iphone/apple person. I would recommend you to wait till they release iPhone 5 specs. If you hate iPhone, Samsung S3, Galaxy Note and Nokia Lumia are all great phones. But I hate microsoft so Samsung galaxy s3 or note in my opinion is the phone of choice. You can always visit your local T-mobile and see the phone in person, play with it, hold it and see which one you like best. Then buy it elsewhere like Amazon so is cheaper. I believe Lumia can be unlocked to Tmobile but dunno if it gets 4g. I know unlocked iphone only get edge at T-mobile.
[General Questions and Answers] rannicus:
that actually depends on what you use your phone for. If you want to use it as an mp3 player, then samsung s2-s3 can be your choice. If you want more games and better app choices, go for iphone.

I used both iphone and samsung s2. But for me, I enjoy using my samsung s2 better. Not being a fanboy, just wanted to give my honest opinion.
[General Questions and Answers] paintball23456:
pentile noticeable ????? LOL its 306ppi just ten less than the pos one x well known fact that you cant see pixels above 300ppi also the "Reviewers are spastics they do it for money they get the phone in play around with it then make a vid done! but as i said before the oversatuation of the colors is what makes amoled a better screen if i want s*itty natural colors i look out of a window but LOOK at the s3 screen next to the one x on the s3 the colors POP one x same old dull crap sure the screen on the one x is brighter but the viewing angles are better on the s3 both screens are great the amoled for the people that are bored of shi*ty natural colors the slcd2 for the people that haven't got a window. The performance on the s3 is FAR better for 3 reasons ONE RAM you have to gigs(one x gets *****slapped here) the cpu is the same on both s4 snapdragon but if you were just born days ago then you wont know that the samsung have optimized the os to run better with that cpu htc just slapped it on and made sure that it works.

the final reason is that well sense is **** it might look good i know that but you dot need a billion different widgets pre-installed and on both int and us versions i CAN see a crapload of lag the multitasking if messed up even scrolling through the home screens lag. the only thing that the s3 lacks is LAG both int and us have NONE the ui might not be like the icandy sense but its LAG free and works amazing the multitasking if great i have never seen a lag on any of them great experience the one X lacks user friendly experience you just have lag and more settings with in settings.

Have you seen how crap htc are? they have 57% less sales than last year! and they have a few OK phones this year they might feel good but whats inside that counts and the stuff that's in/on the one x is bullcrap the only reason i bought the int/us is for the camera which is good for low light but in bright light............................ look on the internet for comparisons you are the only person that says the POS one X is better than the s3 what you are saying about the one x feeling better if bollocks the s3 has more curves it feels better to hold EVERYBODY knows that i will tell you now HTC will never win make a phone that kills a galaxy phone thats Samsungs job to eliminate competition and they have done it again last year the s3 killed every other phone on earth and this year the s3 will do the same htc/apple/lg/sony dont stand a chance next to the s3.period you may call me a fanboy but then ask me why i have A Iphone 4 and nokia lumina a s3 both variants/s2/s1 a htc one x both variants? the s3 is the better performing.
[General Questions and Answers] Muffin Cancer:
Yep.
[General Questions and Answers] Felimenta97:
+1. . From what I read your post, OP, Xperia S wins over all of those. Awesome screen, fast processor ( not the very best, but still awesome), nice UI and great support from Sony.

First thing first, duo you know something called commas and periods? They are awesome resources for grammar. Second, YOU REALLY MEANT TO SAY YOU PREFER OVER SATURATED SCREENS over real colors?

I'm a Sony fan, but in this fight, sorry, HTC wins. Only the internal matters? Man, come to earth, please. I don't use my phone and see only the internal. Back to Sony fan talk, I look to my Xperia S EVERY SINGLE TIME and I'm still impressed with its design. I'm not exactly that type of guy, but I like to call some attention. This is what a 342 DPI screen + awesome design + transparent strip does. Seu single person who looked art my phone was impressed. Not by its processor, but by the design.

So, please. Don't be a blind fan, just like iPhone fans are. S3 is a awesome phone, but Samsung hired the worst designers on this planet.

I played with a Samsung Galaxy S3 the other day and all that I can say is it will be my new phone when my upgrade comes this next month. Thing was a beauty!!!
[General Questions and Answers] :
I'll try and be as objective as possible here but I will preface this with the fact that I own both phones and do personally prefer the S3.

HTC One S:

Pros:

Very thin and light

Fast and smooth

Great burst mode and camera

Decent battery life (12 hours 9 min yesterday w/lots of e-mails and texts)

Beats audio

Vivid screen (nice for photos but not videos)

Cons:

No memory card slot

No removable battery

No NFC

Screen (videos look like they are on a poorly calibrated TV screen - colours are unnatural).

Crippled Dev Unlock (If you are going to root there are some limitations enforced by HTC).

S3:

Pros:

2GB RAM (No lag so far XD)

NFC

Amazing Battery life (15.4 hours and 35% left).

Smooth

Videos look great on screen.

SDCard slot

Removable Battery

Bigger screen

Easy to root as usually with sammy devices

Cons:

Not as light as the One S

Camera lags sometimes

Touchwiz (although its better then it used to be)

I mainly prefer the S3 because of the number of ROMS that will be available for it. I also like external media and battery.

were have you been for the last 3 months? SAMSUNG DID NOT DESIGN IT APPLE DID WITH THEIR PATENTS search it up man lawyers designed it also you try typing on a ipad............

i have said and people will agree with me (if their not icrap fans or htc crap fans) but nobody wants ****ty real colors on their phone people want their phone to "pop" and make the screen stand out you dont get that on the one x
[General Questions and Answers] Felimenta97:
Really? No one wants really colors? They do not pop out of the screen? Seems like my Xperia had a AMOLED screen all the time and I didn't knew.

Bravia Engine is not a screen technology. It's a post processing engine that enhances the image quality of pictures and videos. Comparing it to samoled makes no sense.

[General Questions and Answers] Skv012a:
For the price, id say s2. Still a good ass phone, easier to replace if you bust it, and if you need a laptop, just get a laptop because phones will always be phones and wont replace proper comps.
[General Questions and Answers] paintball23456:
ah ok but its the bravia engine that makes the screen look good :)

without that it would be another icrap screen

---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------

then explain why i have both International and att variants of the one x?

same goes for the s3 on my s3 i havent EVER seen a lag,the one x i get lags every 5 minutes on both stop kidding your self man htc wont ever beat samsung look at their sales, its a joke!.
[General Questions and Answers] GreenRaccoon:
+1 on the Samsung Galaxy S III. It's extremely fast, faster than the iPhone 4s. If I didn't love my OG Droid 1 so much, I'd buy that one. Just don't drop it; it seems that newer phones can't handle falls as well as older ones.
[General Questions and Answers] parental92:
NEXUS ! galaxy nexus is the best choise , pure google experience totaly customisable , thousand of custom rom. while the others moaning for update youll enjoy the update first.

i personally use galaxy s2
[General Questions and Answers] PuritanHope:
What will this do or provide me?
[General Questions and Answers] PuritanHope:
Sorry.

Also, thank you everyone for your help. I think because of price I am going to go to Samsung S2. Though S3 looks great. But this will still be upgrade for me.

Sorry I have not responded at all, my wife just had a baby.
[General Questions and Answers] lanlan_10:
Galaxy sII is still a good choice because it is much cheaper compare to s3 (But s3 is better) just look on the bright side dual core + 1g ram + lots of custom roms and apps you can't go wrong with s2.

P.S.

Congrats for your new baby

as the question says... is there any difference?

is there any difference in the quality if I use a custom kernel instead of the stock kernel??

thanks guys...!!
[HTC One S] WCCobra:
In the Sense-based ROMs, there is no difference. There are some build.prop tweaks which are meant to improve image quality... but I have no idea if those actually work (or if you could even notice the difference).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hrcoprco:
Hi,

I have MAGLDR installed.

I am happy with my present SDrom (in fact the best and fastest rom I have tried regardless of Nand or SD type).

How do I correctly install NAND rom alongside my present SD rom?

I do not want to destroy my SD rom.

btw, I tried to install and everything seems to be fine, but I think that NAND rom once I boot in to the Android is asking for SD card permissions...........I THINK!

How do I install NAND now correctly?

Regards
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
You should be fine to install normally as long as you don't delete the contents of your SD card. Just follow this guide but skip the step which asks to partition the SD card. It doesn't matter if the ROM needs to use the SD, as long as it doesn't format it (and I think it will warn you about that should it happen).

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ronin1728:
tried it and it's working fine on Atom Launcher. Did not test though on other launchers.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Sirence:
Installed it, walkman widget isn't showing up in the list on apex launcher, just the same ones as in the standard widget picker.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ronin1728:
I believe that it only groups widgets into on entry. ie. if you have a widget installed that has 3 different sizes, there is only one entry in the list and if you click it you can pick the size in a second dialog. Correct me if i'm wrong. :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Sirence:
Yes that's right, it groups the widgets like the Sony stock widget picker. However, the widgets requiring the Sony stock launcher are also not in that list either if you are using any other launcher.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ronin1728:
I've read somewhere that Sony widgets only works on Sony stock launcher. Too bad, I want the walkman widget too on other launchers. :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Sirence:
Yes they do. But if you look at the first page of this thread, the thread owner posted a picture ( the second one) where he uses a Sony widget together with Apex launcher.

So I am dying to know how he accomplished this.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sinple:
Yes, u can start the music with it. It even has play next, play previous, start pause music option. lol
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Sirence:
Edit: Ah you mean an extra app that places an shortcut in my statusbar. I don't want that.

I already use it but I also want the widget.

Saying that I don't need the widget because I can controll the music with the statusbar is like saying you don't need underwear if you already have a bikini that you could wear under your clothes.

I haven't used minfree personally, but I do have CleanROM installed. I can listen to Pandora while typing this, switch over to YouTube and watch a video (pandora pauses automatically) exit the video and keep typing in the xda-app and Pandora keeps playing where I left off in the song.

Is this the functionality you're looking for? I've been told the memory management settings in that ROM can improve it even further but I have yet to try those. The web browser isn't a fair test because the stock browser always tells it to reload.

I don't game so I can't comment on that.
