Actually I agree with everything xlm13x wrote. It depends on specs (unlocked bootloader is a factor too). I'd say NExus as well but I am honestly satisfied with current support given to S2 which is stronger in terms of hardware (except screen resolution) so maybe another Samsung's flagship (if the screen is not gonna be too big). But on the other hand.. the device is as good as the software running on it. Choice between samsung flagship and google's one is like a choice between best hw and best sw. Depends on personal preferences. There are obviously advantages on both sides.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Indha Lezzio:
I'm gonna have a new ICS&JB GT-I9103 or a new CM7/10 GT-I9103, and it looks like that it'll be soon; but i'm not sure at all which one i'll take :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
one of my friend got a new phone Atrix 2...

this has same config as compared to s2

here is the complete comparison on Atrix Vs S2

so what do u think ?? which is the real deal ??

and the requirements would be the same as DC 1Ghz+1GB RAM,4" + Screen and very imp....Dev support...

also i found some diff with screen

Atrix has tft capacitive screen and s2 has sAmoled+ capacitive screen.. now whats dat ?? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Motorola in India ? :silly:

Unless you're really can't increase your budget a bit to get the S2 there's no need to get Atrix 2. You don't get enough money when you sell it as a second hand piece in India.

In short get the S2 it has a much better GPU & Display than the Atrix 2. If Galaxy R had been available I would have recommended it over Atrix 2 as it lies in the same price bracket. :D

Cheers ! :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
Motorolla is gaining market..i guess so...

u have Atrix series, Razzr, Defy (Much Popular)

and yes, galaxy R is anyways recommended over Atrix 2...

two of my friend had got Defy and Razzr...

s2 becomes a bit expensive...though its was my preferred choice...

Any other with the same range ??
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
There are very few choices in that price bracket, you can suggest him the following:

- Galaxy S Advance (SGR's replacement by Samsung)

- Xperia P (Only Cons: Low Battery backup & Low internal memory + No SD card slot)

- Xperia Sola (Screen size: 3.7 inch)

Cheers ! :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] :
My brother has a Moto Razr. I must say it's a great phone. If you compare specs it's like a twin brother of S2 (well different cpu/gpu and screen resolution). Samsung has few advantages over Moto - unlocked bootloader and faster updates (doesn't matter than motorola belongs to google today).
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
S Advance.....a no go...

even i was thinkin for Xperia P...

whats exactly the problem with motto ?? are they that significant in terms of service center or anything ??

hmmm yes..Razzr is nice..but it has got a locked bootloader....:crying::crying:

I hav shortlisted these phones under 25K INR price...

Atrix 2,

Xperia P,

SGS2, (more than my budget)

as far my experience goes with android...i dnt care for the updates from OEM...custom ROM does the work...

if the bootloader is locked, how tough it is to get it to unlocked and what are its cons..:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] chandrus1983:
Dude ! You get Galaxy S2 at 25, buy it !
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] selva.simple:
Bootloader is nothing but the contents that will be loaded during Bootup. In Samsung and HTC, it will be pretty much simple. V can boot into custom recovery and flash anything we want (with root offcourse). But if bootloader is locked, you cannot control or customize things u want to load during bootup. Practically speaking, u can't unlock bootloader. But u can bypass. ;) With Bypassing, u can make a Second-stage loader. In this loader, u can have some Boot menu ( BootStrap Boot Meny is being used in Motorola) using which u can flash custom roms and CWM recovery. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] :
It's not tough at all. Most of manufacturers that offer locked bootloaders like: htc, sony..etc enable it through their websites but by doing it you disclaim to some extent your warranty. So they have the right to....not to provide you service if you mess with your phone. It depends on their good will. (I had htc incredible s with permanent s-off and hopefully none of service dudes rebooted into bootloader to check it so I eventually got a replacement and money refund afterwards :) )
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
not precisely 25K...sum were near...

but the diff between Atrix 2 and s2 is arnd 6K and which tempts me to have a second thot for Atrix
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] :
Good post!! Only one thing. HTC has also locked bootloader (but it can be unlocked via website).
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Are you selling your R !?! :rolleyes:

BTW put 2.9k & get S2 here: http://www.flipkart.com/samsung-gal...phone/p/itmczbrrg2pdbvnp?pid=MOBD43T8HNNRUZFQ
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
No i am not selling my R..

My bro, he wants a droid....

and yea, i checked with flipkart, CROMA, Vijay Sales (These are indian stores) they are offering at 2.8K...

but the local retail shops would be definitely offering at a lower price....

Also, i asked at one of the store, the resell price of R

he said 'Since R was not a success, didnt sold so many units.. so i would offer you 13k....'

i was like...WTF....??? get lost...i dnt want to sell it....

and he was offering around 18k for s2

i will visit the stores this weekend...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] The-Droidster:
13K? r u serious? I would rather break it...:p

Not a success? Buddy u shud have told him: it was such a success that it started affecting the sales of s2...so sammy frantically discontinued it :p

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
yes dear.. Looking like Pure AOSP.

with Moto support.

yes, no comparison.

but i wanted dual SIM.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
Lol... it is like Velociraptor replaced T-Rex. S4 is diff but it is also fast. Same performance as S4.

which to buy - old moto X or new moto G

Hi I dropped my SGR and the screen got shattered :(

I am planning to buy either moto G 2014 OR moto X 2013.

I am not able to decide between the 2.

moto G : has dual SIM and may be suported longer as its a new device (but the processor is same as 2013)

moto X: has amoled screen and touch less control 7 2GB RAM, but may not be supported as long as new moto G

Please help me decide.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Adam77Root:
If you need dual SIM, only G is your choice. I'd go with the X, dev support doesn't really matter in this case. It's a kinda open device and there will surely be aftermarket development as long as the G will have.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Kartik pat:
I bought oneplus one :D

It's an awesome device.

gave sgr to my sister :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
Nice one buddy how is the mobile..
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Kartik pat:
The phone is worth every penny spent on it!

No signs of lags at all camera performance is also great :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] ronakchavan:
A year ago and half ago I upgraded from SGR to nexus 4. Nexus just spoils you with the quick updates and the performance. Though they have some drawbacks like battery. 1+1 is just great for the price, though a lil big but still awesome.

I am waiting for the the new Google "Project ARA"

I am very interest and excite about it

It was a highly customizble phone for novice to experts even fever users

the aim is we can interchangeble any parts or phone component easily

Build the phone with what I love to,

Project ARA phone was assemble all the interchangeble parts in one frame(it have tight lock when you assemble any parts)

,if any parts was old we can change and replace it with a more modern one too

if it relese there may have a lot of choice for us to choose and assemble which parts should be use for our ARA phone

Also project ARA phone like nexus is pure google too

so if you care about update

except google nexus,project ARA would your an other choice

The intersting news:Tegra K1(maybe Project Denva 64bit ARMv8 version)will be one of the main processor(SoC)choice (another is Rockchip’s custom SoC for Ara, Marvell’s PXA1928 for project ARA)

Moto X it is

Hi

I have decided to go with moto X (first gen). I have it now and am loving it. initially had sudden battery drop issue. Have charged it while switched off to 100% and left plugged for an hour at 100%. Now its solved.

But am missing the quick control on notification drawer of Omni, especially quick toggle and long press to open the settings. Also missing the customization of the tiles... :(
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] bhargav143:
Root it and Install Xposed Framework, if on 4.4.4 and use GravityBox add on...

If on Lollipop, it has a different scenario altogether...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] aaa839:
Has anyone also interest on ProjectAra Phone too??
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] bhargav143:
Of course many would be interested in it! But, I feel its a bit too early..

Let 2015 be ended, you can expect Ara (hopefully going successful) floating all-around...

First, they will publicly demonstrate may be by mid 2015 if all goes well...and may be by end of 2015 we may see the commercial angle....

All my expectations are "may be"... Please don't mind, if u expect a different timeline...

For the time being one can stick to decent high end (1) or midrange (2) phone(s) for 1-1.5 years from now...

I am looking forward to Yu Yureka mid range specs at low end price...!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Grarak:
There was already a public demonstration months ago.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] bhargav143:
Oh yeah my timeline is actually lagging behind.... They are having a pilot project for market entry in February 2015....

But still... It will take at least a year for general public(not the geeks) accessibility...

OnePlus One

Hi SGR family, I almost forgot to update here.

I had made my mind to buy either OPO or Mi4 whichever releases first. But coincidentally I dropped SGR and screen got shattered :(. OPO release date was 1 week away so had to use Nokia Asha 200 for a week :silly:. Finally managed to get OPO invite on release date and quickly picked it.

Like every smartphone OPO felt incredible at first. It felt light compare to its dimension when I picked it first time. Performance is snappier and smooth but not as smooth as Nexus 5 with Lollipop. What I loved most is double tap to wake, you just can't leave without it after you use it once. Camera is average, I hope they make it better through s/w updates. Battery is beast. It's big phone still manageable.

I wanted to try stock ROM for a month and today I surfed XDA for OPO Lollipop ROM, just flashed it, L is more smooth.

Finally I want to thank eveyone of you who has contributed to SGR forum for all these years to keep our device beast enough to fight :)

I am thankful for XDA SGR family for inducing Flashing-madness in me :laugh::silly:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] aaa839:

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] rbanavara:
I am not planning to root this soon... This is not a developer edition (XT1052). Unlocking voids the warranty. For now I will get used to how it works...

---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 PM ----------

Even I dropped my SGR and smashed the screen :( I switched to moto X 2013. You can still use the SGR probably testing out ROMs. I am still using the SGR with a bluetooth mouse. You can also use a normal USB mouse with OTG adapter.

Note: For bluetooth mouse, I have connected an extra mouse to linux mint PC and using hidclient to make it appear as bluetooth mouse!

I beleive we may be able to flash new ROM as well, esp with philz recovery as the keys work with that...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] chandrus1983:

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] chandrus1983:
1st, HTC is worst when compared to Samsung,

2 HTC worst service centers

3 wifi prob n display problem in HOX

S3, nothing, its the best out there.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] akshatsourav:
service centers are a no problm in ma city ...

i was having htc sensation a problm n they replaced the phone ;)

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Adam77Root:
I also have bad experience with HTC service centers. They fool people and have bad quality.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] akshatsourav:

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:

I will manage with SGR as we have ICS love and sooner CM10....

Xperia Acro S

Just out and there is already a CM10 rom

I loved the gorilla glass on my Galaxy S1, my Galaxy R has scratches all over the screen. I need a smartphone with all the features Android has to offer, but it should also work during rain (the ardadat Kernel with improved sensitivity for a wet screen was already very helpful) and it needs to have gorilla glass. I think Xperia acro S might just be "the one" .. It's thicker though..
