It all depends on

1 what is your budget

2 carrier (contract specific carrier or prepaid)

With your requirements and considering all carriers supported

Galaxy nexus, S2 or S3.

[General Questions and Answers] vash1053:
I agree with this. People always look at a Nexus' specs and go "it looks totally average, why get that when you can get a Galaxy S III or blahblahblah". Hardware specs will only get you so far. What good are they, though, when your software is perpetually bloated and outdated? I'd rather not be at the mercy of Samsung/HTC/whoever for updates.

The Nexus development scene is second to none, too.

[General Questions and Answers] vcrp94:
I know i'm getting hated for saying this but am i the only one that thinks the S3 is overrated? I'd rather have a Galaxy Nexus than an S3. And there are quite a few alternatives to the S3 like the One X (Many reviewers say it has the best screen out there), the 4X HD (Also IPS LCD like the One X but with bigger removable battery and microSD slot), the Galaxy Nexus (Sure, it isn't a quad core but if you check out on youtube a comparison between the GN and a quad core phone you will see that the Nexus can be as smooth (On JellyBean) or even smoother not to mention you get all the updates first) also the RAZR MAXX (It might not be the best phone spec wise but it has a huge battery which provides excellent battery life).

I tried rooting the atrix 2. Not sure if it was successfull....but i know it did not unlock the sim, i put in different carrier SIM and it asking me to enter the unlock code.

How do i unlock ?
[Motorola Atrix 2] souljaboy:
you cant unlock sim by rooting

you can unlock sim by buying code on ebay for $0.99 though, if your phone has at&t logo on it.

I see the super user the phone it rooted i guess. I do not think it unlocked. i used a SIM from india and its asking for a unlock code
[Motorola Atrix 2] moofree:
Rooting and Sim unlock are unrelated to each other. You need to purchase a sim unlock code (or go through AT&T) to unlock the GSM carrier.
[Motorola Atrix 2] murthyb:
That sucks...for a HTC inspire phone, i was able to unlock and root at the same go using the software from xda
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
You mean root and unlock.... the bootloader?

Totally different "unlocking" of the phone.

As souljaboy & moofree said, the subsidy (carrier, SIM, whatever) unlock is only through the carrier (like AT&T) or buying a code online..

Sent from my phone's mind
[Motorola Atrix 2] techsavvy.jaz:
As alteredlikeness told you there are different kind of unlocks

1) Sim Unlock: so that you can use any sim card, you can get the code from the network provider that you bought the mobile from, alternatively you can get the code at ebay or any other local sim unlock experts, I assume you are from India, like here in Hyderabad there are few in Jagdish Market, only few of them are legit like Metro Mobiles.

Then there is the dreaded 2) Bootloader and it's unlocking: With which we can flash (install) custom kernels and thus CyanogenMods, MIUIs, AOKPs and all..

and I humbly let you know that, if you are talking about Sim unlock procedures, this is not the place to come, XDA is all about mods, ROMs, Bricks(!) and everything in between.

and if you are talking about Bootloader unlock, unfortunately the hard working devs here have not found a way yet to unlock it, really hope that they will eventually prevail.

and either way, just merely rooting doesn't unlock anything, either network lock or bootloader, rooting is a process where you get superuser access.. which is kind of Admin access to your Windows OS, which is required to install few apps and also to dig down into the android OS.

Thanks for listening! have a great day.

[Xperia Play General] Flipfoot:
Hi guys hoping you can help.

Ive had my Xperia Play since new, but its screen has gone and feels slow compared to my mates phones now.

Ive been offered the choice of 3 phones.

Nokia Lumia

Samsung Galaxy s3

Xperia U

Im only really interested in making calls,texts,emails,music,browsing and games. All the other special features that come with all new phones are just a gimmick to me, (My X Play was rooted and bloat free within an hour of me getting it) so things like "Siri" on Iphone and S-Voice on Samsung are not a deal winner for me.

One thing I would like is to be able to hook my phone up to my TV via HDMI, something that was GREATLY overlooked on the Xplay, mores the pity.

So, seeing as im no expert, and you guys at XDA seem to be in the know please vote and if you pick "other" leave a comment explaining what phone and why.

Many thanks guys and gals!

Mr Flipfoot
[Xperia Play General] tiagoSequeira:
It's strange how your choices include one high, medium and low end phones... If you're able to afford S3 why not buy a One X? It's the best phone the market has to offer. Or if you're and Android lover why not a Galaxy Nexus?
[Xperia Play General] wuby:
Xperia U sux, Lumia is great, S3 or One X wins. You can still root and delete all the bloatware you dont want.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SapphireSupport:
Hello all

I've got a Samsung Galaxy 3 i5801 here I've rooted it and I tried using SGS Unlock on it (This unlocked my old i5800 and my Galaxy ACE flawlessly) But on the i5801 it doesn't actually unlock it?

The phone is Orange branded even the boot loading screen is Orange so perhaps this has something to do with it??

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Infy_AsiX:
Taken from the official Android Developer Jelly Bean information.

This feature is a major reason for me to upgrade to Jelly Bean. Is HDMI output all the hardware that is needed or is multichannel hardware required too? Is the Galaxy Nexus, S3 or anything else capable once on JB or are there no hardware capable releases on the market?

[HTC EVO 3D] Jaydrury1992:
I have been using KingCobraICS for a while now and although it is very stable there are minor issues that are frusrating me (eg. cant answer calls or dismiss the alarm from the AOSP lock screen). If anybody could suggest a senseless rom with a fully functional lock screen it would be appreciated.

Also how easy would it be to get the sense clock/weather widget on a senseless rom, it is not important I just prefer it to all other clock widgets.

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Other aosp users have mentioned using Ultimate call screen hd to be able to answer calls from lockscreen.

Also, you could use a clock widget like Beautiful widgets to get the sense clock.

Not quite answering your question, but it would allow you to keep using king cobra.

In past I had the Insertcoin rom, in the beginning it seemd ok, but then suddenly my phone reseted sometimes, I also have it with the recent OrDroid 9.0.0.

When taking a picture it sometimes resets or cannot do anything more. Anyone had the same problem or knows the solution ?

I work with the latest Radio_11.76A.3504.00P_11.24A.3504.31_M and also one of the latest firmwares.

Could this be because of the radio, and if the case : which stable recent radio(s) are recommended ?
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
You can try several generic ics radio/ril files and see what works best for you. Radios are difficult to recommend because we all live in different areas and what works for me might not work at all for you. So you will have to do some experimenting on your own to see which is best for your area! The generic ics radio/ril files are a good place to start . I hope this helps you out and I wish you the best! Good luck to you. I'm sure you will find a good radio/ril combo for your area!
[HTC Sensation] Innovator:
Thanks, I just flashed that lightning rom and the same unexpected resets.

I'll check where I can find the radio roms for my Sensation.

If it's not the radio, it will probably be the firmware... or maybe the kernel??? I used the bricked kernel, maybe i'll try the faux or the other.

I am considering switching from my lumia 900 to the GNex HSPA+ on ATT. The Lumia 900 has LTE while the GNex using HSPA+ 21. I understand that i wont be getting anywhere near LTE speeds, but what speeds are yall seeing? I am in Dallas and have pretty good coverage using either signals.

I came from a Skyrocket on AT&T and was getting about 30mb/s down and 10mb/s up while on LTE.

The strange thing is my wife and son use normal GSII's and they can get 7 mb/s download speeds consistently using the same 'phone' APN as I am. I don't think the Nexus has as good a radio as the GSII does.

First of all i'm just hoping like hell i've posted this in the right section, if I haven't i sincerely apologize and would ask instead that someone may tell me the correct section to post this

Otherwise

I have a problem when sending or receiving a text from my partner in the conversations list it displays a contact name of "Me" instead if her name, yet when i call her (even directly from the messaging app) it will come up with the correct name in the dialer, If i do not have her saved as a contact it will just display her number but as soon as i save her into my contacts no matter what name i put it will automatically revert back to displaying "Me" and she is the only contact this happens with, every single other contact displays there correct name, this is beginning to become quite frustrating for me as i have run out of things to try to fix the issue,

So far i have tried:

Using the search button :good:

When i found nothing on XDA i turned to Google instead and found nothing

3rd party messaging apps

Deleting all my contacts from my SIM, My phone and Google then re-entering them all manually

Replacing the SIM card with a brand new one

Doing a full wipe of data, system, caches then re-flashing the ROM and setting up a new Google account, again manually typing all contacts

Doing more full wipes and flashing different ROMs

Completely formatting my internal SD card

and finally, flashing a Stock ROM via odin

But sadly none of this has fixed the problem :(

Im hoping that someone else has had this issue and has found a fix, if so your help would be so greatly appreciated
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Solution:

1. Try another messaging app, i recommend go sms, it should solve the problem.

2. Wipe all contacts on your SIM, don't re-enter her contract to the SIM manually, just use Google contacts sync only
