My vote would have to be the Sony Xperia S. It certainly wasn't technically the worst Android phone that I've owned (that honour probably goes to the Redmi 7a which is my current backup phone for when my main has issues) but I got it at a bad time. I bought it the day after it got released here in the UK and that meant it was buggy as hell for quite a while until they could release enough updates to level it out a bit. Not only that, it was massively overheating aswell. I think even later releases had that same issue but it was certainly worse in the early releases.

I ended up switching back to the SGS2 after a few months. I still kept the Xperia S for a while, albeit just phone in a drawer doing nothing. The bugginess was part of the reason for switching back to the S2 but mainly it was due to the development available. Way more options for all sorts of dev work on the S2 back then when ROMs were still king in the Android world.

Oh, I feel you on the HTC Hero! Mine was this budget Android tablet from a no-name brand. It was sluggish from day one, apps crashed constantly, and the screen had this weird yellow tint. Battery life was laughable too. Definitely taught me to research before buying!
[General Topics] sublimaze:
I've had 4 android phones, and the worst would have to be the Captivate. I use Maps a lot, and GPS was embarrassingly bad on that phone.

Next would be the Thunderbolt. That phone went through battery like a fat kid eats cake. Thank god for cheap spare batteries and the Tbolt devs. They made that phone usable despite its flaws.

The best phone overall is my GNex, but my old Nexus One is a close 2nd place. To this day I miss some things about the N1, like its pocketability and glowing trackball notifications. If HTC offered an updated version with 2GB ram, a modern cpu and 4G/LTE, it would be a very tough choice between that and the GNex.

I've had G1, Motorola Cliq, Mytouch 4G Slide and the Galaxy Nexus. The Cliq was just horrible, it drove me insane. And the Mytouch was just incomplete, I hate motoblur and sense, sticking only to pure vanilla.

Best androids would be Gnex followed by my late great HD2 yes I know it was not an android phone natively but once it had android well if you had one you'd know what I mean.
[General Topics] fnordchris:
My first Android device was the Atrix4G and despite the fact that I fell in love with Android, I was burned by the poor build quality and the software was abysmally slow no matter how many factory resets I would do. The touch screen on it eventually started acting up and the software would hang to the point that I couldn't answer calls, unlock the phone, or turn the screen on or off- I ended up have to pull the battery out eventually to fix it.

To top it off, Blur was a pain to use. The integration is nice and the widgets were nifty, but the fact that their backend was so poorly done that if you lost your password, you couldn't use recover it. I probably have 2 or 3 Blur accounts relating to this or the fact that Blur became so unstable on the Atrix4G that it would crash the launcher and force me to reboot the phone. I still don't think Motorola has fixed this and it was supposed to be their "business" phone. Thank god I didn't sink money into the accessories, otherwise I would have been more upset than I was when it died.

GF's intercept... cant believe I let her waste an upgrade on that POS. Other than that, Moment was good for its time, Epic was awesome, ET4G as well... im not feeling it with the nexus... not a hardware improvement over the ET4G, if anything a slight step down, but thats not that big of a deal, worst part honestly is SOME of the Nexus people... almost as bad as iSheep, even to the point of being GSM elitists (why? its crap...?). Also, I honestly miss TWiz... I liked a lot of the features, you could remove what you dont like, and as far as unlocked? As long as I can get a ROM on there I dont care how it comes out of the box, and honestly both my Epic's took less time to get rooted and ROM'd... they named Odin after a god for a reason. Not trolling, just wonder sometimes what the allure of the Nexus is if all our phones are basically the same, dont make google/AOSP the next crApple. Not trolling, just observations... still love my nexus, but it just doesnt live up to the hype of the cult like following. Maybe the reason the SGSIII had so little improvements over the II's was so that the upcoming nexus could take the hardware lead, instead of being perpetually six months behind.... idunno...

LG g2x.

That phone rebooted more than it would stay on and the GPS took about 15 minutes to lock. At least it taught me how to root, flash, tweak, etc, trying to find a fix to get it to work.

I've had 3 Android phones now, Captivate, Infuse, Note. Absolutely great experiences with all 3, so the worst is the Captivate based purely on specifications. My phones just keep getting faster and higher resolution, so I don't have any complaints really.

About to add another device to the list of awesome experiences when I order my GNex within the next week.

Had OG Droid, Fascinate, Thunderbolt and GNexus. Liked all, none were really a "worst". Though the first two were glitchy but that was before Android matured... not the phones fault.

Fascinate did have garbage GPS. And that Touchwiz version was the worst. So that was probably the least memorable.

Its a tie between:

2) the original EVO... HORRID battery life, like 3 hours with no screen on time horrid, tried everything to fix it, even bought a new battery, it was still beyond tolerable... plus the good ole' HTC motto "our bootloader-security is so complicated, even we have no idea how it works!"
[General Topics] morgy59:
My first android phone was the Motorola Milestone 2 that was really bad because of motoblur and no dev support but once there was a root and custom from I jump on them fast to remove motoblur and it became OK but still bad but the hardware is so good and hard to brake and it took 8 month and then I had the HTC Incredible S that was a good phone but the battery life was bad on that phone but HTC Sense only from v2.1 and up is one of my favorite Android Skin then I had the galaxy nexus and its my favorite phone ever support and software and battery life and update is so good but the build quality is not the best and my dad HTC Legend is better then motorola milestone 2 and my friend HTC Wildfire is better then HTC Wildfire is better then Motorola Milestone 2 and HTC Wildfire and HTC Legend is better then Motorola Milestone 2 even if it slower then Motorola Milestone 2

Samsung Galaxy S. The whole RFS problem was such a pain in the butt. Luckily lag fixes came, but still what a horrible design flaw. Made me think twice about buying another Samsung phone.

But then again this isn't "really" Samsung. I think the Touchwiz on my friends' SGS3 looks awful compared to vanilla Android.

Worst phone I've ever had was my first... HTC Hero.

Man I loved and hated it so hard. Loved it because it was android, hated it because even when I bought it the firmware was out of date. Not to mention the crappy screen / battery life. Led me to my first rooting experience. Next phone was the HTC Desire HD, which I also rooted and it was a much better experience.

Erm, probably the HD2. Not that it's a 'proper' Android phone. I used it when Android first got ported over and it had a battery life of a few hours because it was running from SD.

Still, I bought a Desire shortly after and I've not looked back. :victory:

I bought the girlfriend a Wildfire before she got her Desire HD, the Wildfire is a pretty dire phone comparatively speaking.

OG Droid --> Droid X --> ThunderBolt --> Galaxy Nexus

All very good phones, my least favorite, aka worst? I guess i'd have to say my OG droid, but that's based solely on having owned the other 3. In it's own right a very solid phone but the least favorite of the ones that i've owned.

Absolutely hated my G2X from day one. Crap battery life, poor screen, and some of the worst software I've ever encountered. Put all this in the context of it being the first dual core phone and I was giddy with anticipation and it turned out to be a gigantic letdown.
[General Topics] DoctorSasquatch:
Doesn't really work for me since I've only had two: Galaxy Nexus and Droid Incredible.

Obviously the Inc of the two, but it definitely wasn't a slouch for those two years.

Worst I've ever messed around with though out of all the ones my friends have owned would probably be the HTC aria my girlfriend had before her GS2.

It was a nifty little phone but stuttery and not much could be done with it. Still fun to play with though.
[General Topics] Cab121:
Worst for me was and is the LG Thrill . Stats on paper rival most current phones. In real life LG dropped the ball like most there other products just from lack of support. AT&T took that and fouled it up worse with the obvious bloating. I loved to hate that phone . To its credit it is the sole reason I found XDA, motivated me to become educated in Android architecture, and gave me the confidence to give my carrier the proverbial middle finger by taking ownership of MY phone. So it's a phone with serious potential but took some research and common sense to wake it up.

Anyone with that phone read on. Everyone else thanks for reading my little opinion.

I have worked with a lot of great Dev's on the LG Thrill P925/ LG Opt 3D P920. Months and months of testing Rom/baseband/kernel combos and I offer my opinion on what 2 work best for U.S. AT users. Based on actual data collected development and trials. This can all be found in the proper section please search.

1st in the LG Thrill forum

AcidHazard Kitchen Rom/V20D Baseband/Thiaz Kernel @ 1.2

Most versatile and very stable.

2nd in the O3D Forums

Prometheus Rom/V21E/Prometheus Kernel @ 1.2 or stock

Very stable, very fast data, no Bluetooth.

Thanks and hope it helps someone. I apologies if this stretched some out of the intention of the thread. Just a simple tester who enjoys offering useful knowledge on my favorite site. Please don't post any questions about this phone or the info I have provided here. Hijacking is not cool. Pm me or use the proper for further info/help.

Gnex is only my second android phone; before that I ran a Samsung Galaxy 5700 Spica for nearly 2&1/2 years. When I bought it it was already nearly obsolete; on 1.5 and never got the official update to 2.1 because that awful samsung updater software didn't work..... The low res screen wasn't that bad, but barely enough RAM to run the calculator, let alone apps was a killer.... I loved it anyway; got me into rooting and modding and learning about Android and flashing with ODIN and all that was great fun. Plus there's a great developer (tom3q) over at samdroid forum who worked up a rock solid and nearly fully functional CM7.2 for it. So good in fact that it's stable enough to give to my non techie GF to replace her ancient not-smart phone! So I still get to play with it when he releases updates.

I'm loving the Gnex though, I don't think i'll ever go back to a non-nexus device now

My Motorola i1 and my sister's Droid RAZR. I've heard nothing but good things about the RAZR and I thought her experience with it would be pleasant, but between the bloatware, the locked bootloader, and the phone's inability to keep a reliable data connection, it's been nothing but a headache. My i1 was my very first Android phone and looking back, I still can't see what I ever saw in it.

Let me also add my girlfriend's ZTE Score. It's bad enough that she's with Cricket, but a phone that is saddled with Muve Music, a small, unresponsive screen, poor call quality, and just overall hideousness like this deserves a place on the list of all time awful phones.

Samsung Captivate for sure. The flaky GPS embarrassed me and/or got me lost quite a few times. The rfs file system brought the phone to a crawl after a while. I waited forever for updates. TouchWiz never looked worse. Browser scrolling was painfully laggy on Froyo. You had to slide your finger a little bit on the capacitive buttons for them to register touches. TouchWiz was so ugly and tried to be an iPhone clone.

I think it got a little better with Gingerbread and CM7, but I had already sold it by that time.
