I want it, but my new case is soooo pimp!!! link provided for purchase

I found this really nice case, goes great with the blue version.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/110918350255?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

I got it because it didnt sit well with me that the camera lense was touching whatever surface you sit your phone on.. Samsung why did you do that? Why make the camera lense protrude? I still love you, and I hope you raise the costs of all your chips that go into apple.. This is whats wrong with patents, they block innovation! Seriously, 3 years tops on these patents.. Patent office needs revamped.

Is this case for an extended battery??

If not, why did you post it in this thread??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fusiongalaxy:
I think I want to hold out for a extended battery/case combo. Im getting great life out of the stock battery as it sits and have the otterbox defender protecting my phone. Ive ran extended batteries on my other phones but also without cases and my phones paid dearly lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmorton10:
Hyperion sells a matching case that goes along with their 4000+ battery.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008MMZUZS/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00

I have used this case for weeks now & it works quite well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Elite49:
Would love this if it didn't make the phone any bigger. Anyone know of any 2300 - 3000 batteries that are slim sized to fit the regular case itself? I know sooner or later this phone will get some and wondering if any are out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmorton10:
There is no way any 3000 mah battery is going to fit in the stock back/case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
There was a 2300mah battery, said to fit the stock case, it was on eBay, I'll look for the link if you'd like.but 2300mah really isn't worth it to me.my 4500mah battery was cheap as hell, under $10 with shipping and came with a back case for it.That's a deal, but I only use my extended battery for games, YouTube, which last a long time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pwhoeler:
I purchased a lot of 3 "2900 mah" batteries on ebay for $10, but I'm very skeptical about their actual capacity. I'd put their actual value around 2000 or so based on their performance compared to my stock battery. Another clue is that its the exact same size as my original and I didn't have to replace the backing.

I don't even know why i bought them, i work on an ambulance and have access to cigarette lighters and power outlets all day anyway.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
Need to see some on screen times to see if you are really getting the power you should with the battery. Just saying you did this and that does not mean much...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
@eman3316, don't know what you mean, but I took that screen shot when I first got my extended battery, believe what you want I'm just trying to give a little info.oh I played dead trigger for like couple hrs (5)my eyes got tired so I stopped.everybody body's phone is different, the way you set it up, apps you have, screen savers.I have mine set where I get pretty good with both stock/extended battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
I was just curious what your screen on time is with the battery. With stock battery I have been getting between 3-4 hours on 4G. Just curious what you see with the extended.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] noingwhat:
I'm wondering how long can you get it to last with average-light usage usage? My phone is sitting in my pocket with the screen off for most of the day while I'm at school, then I use it frequently when I get home. I typically get between about 14-20 hours on the stock battery and am curious what I would be looking at with an extended battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
@eman3316 , with the extended battery I get around 6-7 hours of game time,I don't usually play on my phone that much sorry, but...with stock played dead trigger for 2 hrs battery dropped from 80% to like 60% in two hrs of pure game time no break full screen brightness, same test with extended 100% battery, played game 2hrs down to only maybe 90%, it is a pretty good battery.how this helps..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
With average usage I can get more then a day, I'm guessing like maybe a day and a half, when I did these test my phone was bone stock.no battery saver on or nothing not even root. on the weekend if I'm not busy I'll try it again to give more detail...I'm new to Samsung doing my best to explain and show.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
This is my stock battery is pretty good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blestsol:
Did you charge your phone in that screen shot?

GS3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
I charged it earlier in the morning
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hypertek:
Seems like the nfc batteries cost more on ebay, as opposed to the standard extended ones that are like $8 bucks. I dont think i would use nfc (but i really dont know much about it) but a video i saw of touching 2 galaxy s3s together to share data I dont think i would want to do that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hypertek:
I wonder if someone would be able to fit the extended battery, with the standard slim battery cover (cut a square hole around the battery), than say using a multi piece shell type case, cut a square out of the rubber protection just like the battery cover, than slip the shell over that, and be all together like a standard case . Think it could work?

Hi, i want buy one low cost tablet ?

which do you recommend?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Low cost is a a relative term. For $200 I'd go with the nexus 7 or for about $115 its hard to beat the Aniol 7 Elf II www.gadgetgreats.com/ainol-novo-7-elf-ii-7-inch-android-4-0-tablet-pc-cortex-a9-dual-core.html. It's not worth really buying anything cheaper then that.

Sorry for hijacking the thread but I think it will useful to post to this thread rather than creating another thread for my question as now it seems the forum is more clutter that before.

[General Questions and Answers] gdourado:
Hello,

How are you?

I've opened this thread because I am wanting to buy a new phone, but don't know which one to go for.

For some background.

I had an HTC sensation. Kept it stock and liked the phone and sense UI. At the time I also had an HTC flyer.

I wasn't really using the tablet because it wasn't as convenient to take around with me as the phone.

The tablet spent most of the time powered off at home.

So, I decided to sell the flyer and the sensation and bought a galaxy note.

I wanted a device to combine both tablet usability and phone portability.

For a time I really enjoyed the note, but now, the size is getting the better of me.

I would like better usability with one hand and not being afraid to always drop the phone while handling it on the go.

I also got tired of carrying a digital camera with me and find myself taking more pictures with my note, so a camera upgrade in IQ from my note would also be very welcome.

I also use my phone as a music player, so sound quality is also important.

I don't use many apps nor have many apps installed.

I use gmail a lot, browse the web, the occasional Facebook update and tapatalk.

Also Google maps and navigation.

So, with all this in mind, what do you think would be the right device to go for and why?

Hope you can help me out. There are lots and lots of devices out there and I really don't know all of them strenghts and weaknesses.

Thank you.

Cheers
[General Questions and Answers] sidthegreatest:
I am surprised that the Galaxy Note's camera disappointed you. If you like Sense, you can consider going in for the HTC One X. It has an 8-MP camera. You can try out the Samsung Galaxy S3 if you liked the TouchWiz interface on your Note. Both these mobiles have large-enough displays to conveniently do your work & play apps. However, they are much portable compared to the Note. The HTC One X has Beats Audio, whcih might meet your music requirements.
[General Questions and Answers] gdourado:
Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

I am not disappointed by the note's camera. I find it very good.

The thing is that I came from DSLRs then because of the bulk and weight went to a micro four thirds setup and am kind of spoiled by the IQ of such systems.

I know that a phone camera is always a compromise, but since going for a new phone, if there is one with a better camera, it would be a plus.

I liked the sense UI. I can say I liked it best than touchwiz. TW is OK, but currently I am running CM on my note and like the vanilla android experience better.

Cheers
[General Questions and Answers] mikef:
First pick the carrier, then pick the phones/tablets you might be interested in. Then check with the "Find your Device" box on the top of the page and look at the forum activity level and make sure there is good dev support.

I have a Sensation which I love, but I have TMobile which I do not love. Fortunately the Sensation has excellent dev support, so 2 out of 3 isn't bad.
[General Questions and Answers] with33:
I would say the s3 has a nice big hd screen yet will fit in one hand and a pocket very easily.

Also has a very nice camera.
[General Questions and Answers] zoner89:
HTC One X+ maybe
[General Questions and Answers] KingAmir:
I would say go with an S3.

The optics on the camera are great.

The design is 'new'

It has powerful hardware.

It will receive lots of support on xda because many own it.

It will receive many updates to come.
[General Questions and Answers] gdourado:
Hello.

Here in Portugal it's different.

We also have carriers, but I prefer to buy my phones unlocked and carrier free. It is not a big price difference and the resale value is higher.

So, I am not limited by carriers.

Cheers
[General Questions and Answers] gdourado:
So far the HTC one X and galaxy S3 are the suggestions.

I have a few concerns about both...

Namely, they are not that smaller than the note, at least as far as screen size. Is the overall size that much different to affect overall handling and usability?

Also, from what I read around the web, the One X seems good on paper in regard to camera with it's f2.0 lens and image sense chip, but then the results seems over processed and compressed with not so great IQ.

The S3 camera seems like it is not a big upgrade from the note camera.

In regard to audio, the HTC has Beats. Is it's audio quality ahead of the S3?

The One X and S3 seem lime the two greatest android contenders. Any other suggestions besides those two?

Thank you all for your help.

Cheers
[General Questions and Answers] Felimenta97:
Xperia S has a good camera (one of the best on the market now) and awesome sound quality (even more if you install the mod we have which integrate DBS, SRS, ClearBass and xLoud). The screen is far the best on the market right now (colors aren't too bright and washed), except for the vision angles which aren't so good.
[General Questions and Answers] mikef:
That is definitely a great option, but I also mean it from the perspective of monthly carrier pricing, coverage, customer support, etc... Are all carriers roughly equal, or do some provide better coverage? Do you go on a monthly or prepaid system, or are you in a contract for a longer time?
[General Questions and Answers] gdourado:
I thought about the xperia s.

It is far cheaper than the one x or S3. Actually here it is almost half the price of the S3.

I'll think about it. But it seems Sony will launch some new models soon...

Is the camera noticeable better?

Cheers
[General Questions and Answers] gdourado:
We have three carriers here. Vodafone is the only international carrier. Than we have TMN and Optimus, two Portuguese carriers.

We also have monthly plans and contracts, but for my usage I have a plan with no contract. I have data and voice and pay less than 10 euros a month.

Cheers
[General Questions and Answers] Felimenta97:
Noticeable (not so much difference, but better) It is kinda noisy on low light situations, but that may be due the software.

....Or just wait till september the 2 new phones are releasing ...

Best of luck dude
[General Questions and Answers] Indiwiz:
most people are go an suggest the one x, or one x + which comes out later in sep (in us, not sure about where you are) , and the GSIII . you should play w/ both, and mainly pay attention to displays, because its the main difference between the two. some prefer the sharper SLCD2 on the OX, and some prefer the SAMOLED on the GSIII. I think this will be what helps you decide which one suits you better.
[General Questions and Answers] whiteflashe90:
I've been looking at the galaxy sIII ... but, can't upgrade yet
[General Questions and Answers] gdourado:
Hello.

Thank you all for your replies.

I will go to a store and handle both the One X and the S3 side by side.

How about the HTC one S? It's a bit cheaper than the X( not by much, but the size seems to fit better on hand. Is it that much behind from either the S3 or one X? At least the camera seems to be the same from the X.

I was also thinking a bit outside the box today and wondered about the 808 pureview...

Seems like a good phone. Not a great screen resolution, but a killer camera. Don't know nothing about Nokia belle though...

Get the Galaxy Nexus from Google, its $350 unlocked! And you'll get the most updates, and you'll get them first! Best phone to have, in my opinion, is the Nexus! Plus, Google Wallet! :)
[General Questions and Answers] Felimenta97:
Unreaponsiveness? If you mean the buttons, you just have to swipe up. You get used quickly. Overheating? I live on a sub tropical state on Brazil, so this is normal for me while charging, playing games or while in my pocket for a quite long time.

Hello,

Someone mentioned the Galaxy Nexus.

There is now a sweet deal for the Nexus.

I like the size. But the Camera is a 5 mpx unit.

I know mega pixels don't tell the whole story, so how does the camera of the Nexus fares against my note and the S3 and One X?

Cheers!
[General Questions and Answers] Hstar:
I'd go for a phone with jelly bean or the evo 3d :D
[General Questions and Answers] gdourado:
Went to a store today and played with a bunch of phones.

They didn't had the Nexus on display, so I didn't play with that.

Played with the One S and One X.

Not as big of a size difference as I thought.

The S has a bigger bezzel. The One X feels good and smaller than my note. Better with one hand.

The sense UI in it's version 4 is not bad either.

Then played with the S3.

about same size as the one X.

The X felt better in hand. The S3 felt slippery.

I am not a huge fan of TW, but from what I saw, the camera is less noisy in High ISO.

Then played with the 808 pureview.

Horrible browsing... but the camera...

ISO 1600 on the 808 looked soooo much better than 800 on the s3...

And that shutter button and the size of the phone is great to compose pictures and focus.

Oh my... what to do...

Cheers
[General Questions and Answers] ez2:
you mentioned handling your device "on the go" in previous posts so you may want to consider battery life and the fact that the htc one x does not have a removable battery puts it at a significant disadvantage to the Galaxy s3, which does have a removable battery. You can carry extra batteries with you and not have to worry about sitting around waiting for your phone to charge. You can get extra batteries on eBay for next to nothing and although they don't last as long as the stock batteries, the difference in office makes them well worth it, even if they only last 75% as long.

If touch wiz isn't your cup of tea you can use any number of launchers (i prefer go launcher).

As far as the Galaxy s being slippery, i assume that if you're going to spend over $100 on a device. A few bucks on a protective case with the texture of your liking won't be an issue. Also quite inexpensive on eBay.

I went with the s3

U can wait as most probably on Sept 5 Nokia will announce win 8 mobile with Microsoft

If you are gonna use your phone to take a lot of pics then 808 is the way to go as it has best camera with Nokia rich recording and Dolby sound, most stable os and very good sound quality Nd u get Nokia phone with great signals

If u like sense than go for HTC one x

I have been using it since April and this phone is awesome with the best screen, tegra 3 gaming and with latest update to sense 4.1 it's even faster than before

Galaxy s3 is also a very good phone and touchwiz is faster than sense but sense has much more beautiful widgets than touchwiz

No hox will get jellybean months later as HTC is rolling out android 4.0.4 update this time but s3 will surely get it
[General Questions and Answers] gdourado:
As I stand, I have the following choices:

1- Keep my current note until the launch of next Nexus and see what the next Nexus will bring in terms of hardware and camera upgrades.

2- Sell my Note and get a Galaxy Nexus. This won't set me back anything.

3- Sell my Note and get a HOX and use it with stock HTC ICS until jellybean update. This won't set me back anything.

4- Sell my Note and pay 50 Eur more for a Nokia 808 Pureview with a great camera and try to learn to live with Symbian.

5- Sell my Note and pay 100 Eur more for a Galaxy S3 and get onboard the Samsung flagship.

If it were you, what would you do and why?

[General Questions and Answers] vivek_bhoj:
If you are going for 5th option then wait 1 more week and you can get note 2

And if you love camera phone then go for 808

I have been using my n8 for almost 2 years now and I miss the camera while using hox, symbian has improved a lot after belle the only thing I don't like is low resolution screen

But you will surely remember all the pics u take with ur phone as they are superawesome
[General Questions and Answers] gdourado:
The note 2 sounds great, but the size problem word still persist...

Also, the 808 sounds like a valid choice. The camera seems real good at high ISO.

I think it will take some time for the android flagships to catch up... maybe even a couple of Years...

I am just afraid of missing android, my chrome browser, tapatalk, high res screen, all the Google services sync...
