Those articles that showed up on top indicated the use of 900/1800 for 3G

But you're right, some others indicate 2100MHz

The IUNI U2 looks perfect, however it doesn't have LTE support. However if you have high quality 3G, it will result in improved battery life, with only a little slower speed.

If you really want LTE, the XiaoMi Hongmi (Redmi) 2 is an awesome deal. They're having trouble keeping them in stock.

They based of the Cortex A53 64-bit quad-core Snapdragon 410. The specs arent quite as nice as the IUNI U2, but it has LTE support.

I thought about recommending the N4 as well. I like my N⁴ but its aging a bit and the LTE support is extremely limited (Band4 only). Not to mention the battery life isn't very good. I had to disable 1 core and limit all cores to 1134MHz (and a bunch of other tweaks) on a custom kernel to get 5.5Hrs Screen time.

Since his network is compatible with those Chinese phones, its hard not to recommend those. The values are amazing. I just with they were compatible with US networks.

Which phone from 2014 is still worth considering? Can you give me more suggestions guys?

Currently I am having a Galaxy S5 will be giving it to the wifey and I am looking at the Nexus 5 as a replacement..

I need a 5" and below LTE capable phone, long battery life, 1080p screen, maybe 1 generation older?

Like that of the S4, G2, Nexus 5, MOTO G, MOTO X, HTC M7?

Which one has a Stable Lollipop 5.0.1 CUSTOM ROM?
[General Questions and Answers] :
The HTC One M7 or the LG G2 are IMO your best choices for "old" phones. Both of them have Lollipop custom ROMs and the One M7'll be getting a Lollipop OTA update.
[General Questions and Answers] jcagara08:
thanks for the heads up!

Hey thanks! I think I am seeing the G2 as a having a stable CM12 ROM, does the M7 have a CM12 or a stable lollipop ROM too?:)

Happy Nexus 6 owner here, rooted and as far from stock as it gets. AT&T plan. Also a new father - daughter is a week old today. My girlfriend needs a new phone and she uses stock - I know nothing about what to look for in a phone for her but specs which are not usually what they seem in my experience. She is looking for a phone that is relatively inexpensive on AT&T with an excellent camera. So far we are leaning toward the LG G3. She is also looking at the HTC Desire Eye, but I know nothing about that device. Any suggestions in terms of something that would take great pictures and work well for someone who is not a power user like I am? Battery life is the next most important consideration after camera - the rest.. just hoping for a nice phone, nothing insane necessary performance wise, but not looking for a budget phone by any means either - just sort of using the G3 as a benchmark as the price is good on AT&T and it's considered a top of the line device. Any help would be appreciated - she's ready to get off of Verizon (and her hardly functional S3 she doesn't want me to root, lol)
[General Questions and Answers] :
Congrats on your new daughter! :)

Unless someone else comes up with something you like better, I'd would 100% recommend going ahead and getting the LG G3. It's always been a favorite of mine - that and the HTC One line - and I'd highly recommend it. Great camera, good battery life, great performance - pretty much all you or anyone else needs in an Androud phone.

Enjoying your sig? ;)
[General Questions and Answers] wrongway213:
Thanks man - appreciate the congratulations as well as the recommendation. I thought as much about the G3, but all I know about it is about Bump! and such - nothing about how it runs stock.. glad to know it's as good as I have heard. And loving the sig, of course :p
[General Questions and Answers] Wolf0x:
Hey guys, was looking to get a replacement for my Nexus 5 as the battery life has been causing me bother lately, requiring to be charged in the afternoon to last the day. Don't have a huge amount of money just now but I was hoping to get a 5"-5.5" phone with a good battery life and performance, so I was eyeing up the Oneplus one or the LG G3. I'm leaning to the G3 currently as while the 1+1 has better battery life (not a huge difference) the G3 battery is removable so I could quite easily swap it out if necessary, plus it allows me to easily replace the battery when it starts getting worse with age.

So essentially I need a device that can last me an entire day: I typically get up around 6.45 probably spend ~30 minutes on youtube while commuting and probably another 30 mins on the way back, during the day I guess I'm on my phone (web, messaging, checking the time etc.) for anywhere between an hour to two depending on the day. I normally get home sometime between 6 and 9. So a phone that can last the entire day of that is what I'm looking for. Any help in deciding between those two devices, or other suggestions, would be great
[General Questions and Answers] gorilla p:
I would recommend the OnePlus One or LG G2.

Both are great phones. I know the OPO has a great mod/development community as a lot of Nexus 4/5 users went there.

I'm sure you could sell your N5 to someone on Swappa to put towards it as well.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[General Questions and Answers] Wolf0x:
Any particular reason for recommending the G2 over the G3? I was hoping to do that with my N5, no point holding onto it. I should also mention that the G3 and the 1+1 are essentially the same price in the UK just now so please disregard price when comparing them.

Hi i will buy a new android device but i can't choose what it's the best at the moment.

I haven't any budget limits so i'm looking for a flagship smartphone.

I love the Nexus brand, i owned Nexus s Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 so i think i must buy the new Nexus 6 but is it really the best?

So i looked the Note 4 LG G3 HTC One (M8) and One Plus One.

What should i buy? Which is the best in the market?

Please help me ;)
[General Questions and Answers] gorilla p:
I think the OnePlus One is by far the best value.

The Nexus6 or LG G3 might be a little better but cost 2x more.

The OPO is more phone than anyone really needs.

[MENTION=5981373]ИΘΘK¡€[/MENTION];59136100

it's quite hard to score a used or new HTC M7 in UAE nowadays, it's there but still sells at retail, anyways I scored a good deal on a brand new LG G2 @ $240 bucks! was contemplating LG G2 vs Nexus 5 but I figured the battery and camera is better on the earlier hence the choice
[General Questions and Answers] gorilla p:
The 32GB LG G3 is selling for about $475

The OPO 64GB is selling for $349

The LG G2 is selling for $220

So the prices are not the same for the G3 and OPO. The G3 costs about 50% more and definitely doesn't provide 50% better performance.

Same in regard to the G2. The G2 isn't the best phone of the three, but perhaps the best value.

That's why it was recommended.

But its not like anyone ever hits the thanks button in this thread anyways...

Sent from my Nexus 4
[General Questions and Answers] Wolf0x:
That might be the case in the US but it's not in the UK.

1+1 64GB is £279

LG G3 64GB is £280-290

LG G2 16GB is £220

So the 1+1 and G3 are essentially the same price and the G2 is not hugely cheaper. That was why I was hoping to get some folks personal opinions on the phones as the 1+1 and G3 are very similar but personal experience will set them apart.
[General Questions and Answers] gorilla p:
That's a good price on the LG G3 there

I'm looking for something I can use to tether to my laptop. Requirements are works with pdanet usb tether and is open to adb keyevent commands. I have a samsung strat 2 that does those things but I'm looking for something that will work on US att and/or tmobile and preferably cheaper or at least with more development support. Would rather not have to fuss with rooting but if it's a simple rooting process I will consider it.

4G LTE is NOT a requirement, my area has spotty coverage for it anyways.

Incase you're wondering the adb keyevents are for changing between wifi and data when needed.

Btw I'm in the US.
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
I use a Samsung Galaxy Light for this purpose. Easily rooted too, so you can use Fabio Grasso's WiFi Tether Router too if you want. It's certainly not the greatest phone, but it has LTE, Its small size makes it nice and portable. Don't pay more than $100, even brand new. The Galaxy Avant is a better phone, but it's bigger (if that matters, or maybe you'd prefer a bigger screen) and will cost a bit more. Also pretty easily rooted. Both have replaceable batteries, which is good if you're pumping a lot of data through the phone. Since you're charging while discharging, the battery takes a lot of abuse and you don't want a phone with an internal battery for this purpose.

The Light and Avant are both T-Mobile (and MetroPCS) phones, but you can get them unlocked (or unlock one) and use them on AT&T's network. As for AT&T specific phones in this regard, I'm not sure what to recommend. A used Galaxy S3 maybe? Or even an S2 or Galaxy Nexus (no LTE on those, but you say it's not a requirement).

I can't speak for adb keyevents though. I honestly don't know what those are or what's required for them to work or why exactly you'd need them.
[General Questions and Answers] Sushant Rohan:
Today performance does not matter at all. Real time performance may be different than the on paper specs. That's why people consider stock android over forked android because excessive bloat ware on the forked android hampers the performance a lot. In relevant to your reply it has been tested that the Moto G has better benchmark result than the Nexus 4, if it has scored less, it is better than N4 because of the price difference. I am not saying that N4 is a poor phone but Moto G outruns it in Price and performance in relevant to its price

Hi guys,

I will be giving my OnePlus to my brother. Please help me choose my new smartphone.

All I want is:

Specs

Battery life

Decent price

My problem with the new GS6 and M9 is that both phones are running a heavy customized version of Android. I really appreciate the stock experience, and I would like to stick with it. Both phones also carry an OK battery, nothing huge. And lastly, their no-contract prices are not that decent (AT&T GoPhone user, so I'm buying full price!)

The Nexus 6 is an option, but I'm not a huge fan of the design/size. Only a good deal would convince me.

What do you guys think? Recommendations?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] :
You'll definitely want to look into both the LG G2 and the LG G3. Great specs, a good battery life, and a good price (~$400 to ~$475) for the product quality.

[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
The Nexus 4 will smoke the Moto G in benchmarks. You can't compare benchmarks from a year ago to benchmarks from 2+ years ago made when the Nexus 4 was originally reviewed/tested. When released, the Nexus 4 scored around 10-11000 on Antutu, but now it should score around 25-27000 (stock). Changes in the OS and kernel and Adreno drivers, and changes in the benchmarking apps themselves.

The only area where the Moto G outperforms the Nexus 4 is battery life.
[General Questions and Answers] Sushant Rohan:
Buy a One Plus One. It has the Cyanogen OS, Cyanogen is far better than the stock ROM but buy a Nexus device if you are a developer and you love the stock android. If you are not a developer and love to theme your phone and love to customize your phone, then you should buy the One Plus One. Nexus 6 is little bit expensive than the One Plus One. But hardware and performance little or less may be the same:thumbup:

For

Nexus 6 - All the Nexus phone are made exclusively for developers. Buy it if you want your phone to be updated earliest and show 'em u. As for the camera, the camera is not good as compared with its counterparts.

LG G3 - It is a very good phone. It has a superb camera. Buy it if you watch movies a lot and play games, then you should buy this phone since it has QHD Display. It also has a decent battery life.

One Plus One - As I have already mentioned, this phone is one the best in its price range. It has nothing bad things(according to me). The hardware is suberb. Plus you will get update. It is not costly.

Nexus 5 - It is also a trendsetter. But I will not suggest you because it is an year old. Buy it only if your budget is less

If this help, hit thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
What a coinkydink, I just got my federal return deposited 2 hours ago. Also had a Note 3 for a brief time before I switched jobs and had to sell.

I'm getting a OnePlus One. It's priced right (more than), and it's basically a Nexus 5.5, with support both from the company and the dev community. Whether official or not, it'll be a long time before this phone gets put out to pasture.

If you want to stay on a tighter budget, look at an LG G2 over the Nexus 5 or anything similar. Same processor/RAM, but far better camera and much bigger battery. Less development, sure, but there's still plenty.

As for the G3, it's nice that it has the removable battery and SD card slot, and it also has a fantastic screen-to-size ratio. But IMO QHD screens are a pointless gimmick at that size. I do like that LG makes it possible to switch around the software nav buttons though. You wouldn't go too wrong going with a G3.

Nothing wrong with a Note 3, except for the KNOX BS. Beautiful display. Finding a used one with a pristine screen isn't a bad buy. Otherwise, age doesn't really matter because you can always buy a new battery.

As for the Nexus 6 or Note 4, they're expensive. If you're willing to spend this much, it's worth waiting just a bit to see what's coming from other companies. The HTC M9 and Galaxy S6 have been officially announced, but that leaves the Note 5, the Sony Z4, the possibility of a M9 Plus and/or Max, LG G4,. mot to mention the OnePlus Two. And don't forget the Saygus V2.

I had a G2 before. I loved it! The G3 I know will be a great phone but ive wanted to learn coding and software. I want the nexus for its specs and all the ROMs for it. I don't want to wait till next Tuesday to order a one plus. Its really a tossup between nexus 6 and G3 now, the note 3 I'm still actually considering too, it had a great camera and I loved it.

Ive eyed the xperia z3, and its a beautiful phone but the locked boot loader and no ROMs saddens me. Same with the Verizon droid turbo. Love the phone and it can be unlocked, just a shame carriers go out of the way to ruin a good device. I love the looks of the HTC phones but that ultrapixel camera just ruins it for me.

What to Buy

Hello eveyrone,

I'm currently looking for a tablet to replace my aging TF700. It's slow, it's frustrating, and I'm pretty sure better exists now.

We got a Lollipop build some time ago, and I feel it won't save this tablet from its sloppiness. Thanks to XDA I was already able to make it last that long which is a miracle when I think about the slow IO problems.

I don't really have a budget limitation, but would still like to stay in reasonable prices (no 800+$ devices :)) And I live in Belgium ;)

My main use is reading and browing (I pretty much never watch film on it), and sometimes small games.

A few things are important in my eyes : a good screen, a very good browsing performance, and a community if possible (I would like to start building kernel/roms, and plan to re-use my old hardware to learn)

If possible I would like to stay under 10'. 8' seems to be a good compromise. BTW I never travel with it, it's only for the practical side (and weight).

The only brand I would like to avoid is Sony. I also have a Xperia SP and the lack of Kit Kat upgrade (which was promised) will certainly make me avoid any of their products for the coming years.

I've checked current references, and I am a bit lost:

- Asus Me582C : intel chipset, I presume no custom roms will be made available. Hardware and price seems fine

- Nexus 9: Are the lightbleed problems solved ? 4:3 seems nice but build quality doesn't seems in line with price.

- Nokia N1: Seemed a good fit at the beginning, and will probably never reach Europe due to possible copyright issues with Apple

Perhaps I missed something, or any upcoming tablet can fullfill my needs. Please help me :eek:

ok guys So I had a S3 t999L that I was running on ATT and it broke... I was running Cyanide L and just getting into custom roms and kernels and stuff. So I upgraded to a S4 SGH-I337 ATT phone... and what do you know.. Locked bootloader.... I can't have that... I want to run custom recovery and custom roms (without safestrap limitations and crap like that) So my question is.... I want a phone that will let me run custom roms freely... Want it to be able to do at least the stuff my S3 and S4 did/does... Size battery life all that isn't really a deral breaker... battery life more so than size...

SO should I look for a S4 with the original MDK firmware on it (which is the only unlockable bootlader right?) or should I switch to a different phone? I want SD card or extra storage that's a must... the rest is optional...

[INR 4500 - 6000] Device suggestion better than Canvas A1

I am planning to buy my own android on 19th march (the day my board exams cease). My budget is strictly UPTO INR 6000.

So far I got these devices:

1. Asus Zenfone 4

Powered by an intel dual-core ; Zen-UI ; very bad battery

2. Asus Zenfone C

Same as above ; 2100 mah battery ; Saw a youtube video , showed (quite) visible frame lag and washed out colors.

3. Lenovo A526

Greater benchmark scores than the above 2 but has very less support and custom ROMS,TUTS. etc.

4. Micromax Canvas A1 (Android ONE)

Has low benchmark scores but performed REALLY well in the gaming reviews I saw. No frame lag (almost-only one was in 6 Guns-some).:cowboy:

Canvas A1 is a very good. I have also a one. The battery backup is just average but not so poor. Performance isn't a problem with this phone. And the Lollipop will arrive soon in this phone. But the only drawback is the lack of Screen Protection. As for the gaming performance, I played Asphalt 8 and it runs phenomenally regarding the price. Also I played NFSMW and Six Guns, both run good. Sanandreas runs better than any other phone in this price range.As for camera, it is just average
