Ah, thanks for fast reply, [MENTION=5162591]Shahan_mik3[/MENTION]. Buf I just see that Honami = =". I wonder if I would wait a bit after ZR available. If Honami is out I might collect more budget for it, if not I may wait for the price to lower a bit. Any idea?

The galaxy S series are the best by far, especially for us developers, the galaxy S,SII,SIII,SIV react exactly as expected by android apps, which is not always the case with other devices.

Galaxy tab, tab2, tab3 are also highly recommended :)

Galaxy Series

that is true, there are advantages to having a removable battery! lol. ive had some scares on my HTC One, although I prefer its build quality over my S3, Ive found that the S3 flashed ROMS easier.

[General Questions and Answers] thatdude02:
Played with one for about ten minutes and thought it was really nice. It is built with the same plastic material as the S3, but it you can get past that you will probably love it! S-Pen works amazingly well (the best one yet I think). Multi window is the best feature for this device in my honest opinion, but it comes down to if you like Touchwiz.

It is a little bit of a pricy device, but I think it is Well worth it if you are looking at getting one. I sure would like to get one, but I'm kind of curious on his the NVidia shield will be. But I think you should play around with one and get it if you truly like it.

ispatema increase

I personally own the GN4, its a solid phone, not awkward to hold like the S3 (fat sides), The Note 2 is a solid device, toyed around with it a lot, the battery life is great, so nice to not have to charge twice a day. I think one thing to really consider is this, if you want a phone, then get the GS4. But if you want a tablet, and barely a phone then wait for the Note 3. Its going to be very large and I thought the Note 2 is large enough. But on the other hand with Samsung releasing a lot of different versions of the s4 to other things, maybe waiting is a good thing.

Hello everyone. I am in the market to buy a couple of new Android phones, a windows phone and an Android tablet, 4 devices in total. Ideally, I want to get Android devices that will be fully working (from a basic h/w standpoint) with CM10.1 or any other AOSP ROM basically. As far as the WP device is concerned, I am not too worried as it will be left unmolested for the most part. The network I am planning to run the phones on is AT&T and the Tablet will be a Wi-Fi only model. Any suggestions welcome and TIA.

Hi guys,

OK, I think its about time for me to get a new phone because ive had my samsung galaxy ace (s5830

Ive taken a look at the nokia lumia 620 but I heard Its got a lame 1300mah battery and the battery life is short so I passed on that one. I was thinking about getting the sony xperia tipo but my friend has that phone and I don't want to copy him. Ive also been looking at the htc desire phones but there too similar to my samsung galaxy ace. can someone give me any ideas? :)

Hey, all.

I'm going to be getting my first smartphone within the next week/week and a half..

I was looking at smart phones and was leaning towards the Droid DNA being it's a pretty good price for me; I'm on a very tight budget.

Anyone have this and would recommend it?

If not what other devices would be a good fit?

I'm a novice programmer for android, but I want a device that will allow me to fully customize it without any problems, something fast, able to multi-task efficiently, etc..

is the Droid DNA a good route or should I be looking at other devices?

Pantech Flex or HTC First?

Hey guys,

So I had my Samsung Exhilarate stolen about 3 hours ago. I have suspended the account and doing anything possible to try and locate my phone, however, I feel like my chances are slim especially when I didn't download any security app prior to this event.

Anyways, I am not looking for the latest technology or best phone just something that gets the job done.

Between the Pantech Flex and HTC First, which do you prefer?

The Flex is older but can now upgrade to Jelly Bean apparently. The First can remove the Facebook Home launcher but appears to be discontinuing. Both I believe are priced at like $0.99 with a 2 year contract, which I will be doing.

Thanks!

[General Questions and Answers] neo668:
Was quite interested in Plan B so looked it up on the Play Store. Here is an excerpt of its description:

"This is the first and only 'find my phone' app that you download AFTER you've already lost your phone."

And then:

"Follow these easy steps to use Plan B:

1. Install Plan B to the phone that you are trying to find from the Android Market website: . . ."

How do you install to the phone that you've already lost? :confused:

PS Okay. I see. The app assumes that who stole the phone would have it on and connected to the internet.

PSS I've just learnt one thing from this. If you find a phone and want to keep it, the first thing you do on the phone is to turn off Mobile Data, Wifi and GPS. Then install a new ROM after you've extracted all the info you want from the phone. Too bad I'm not a crook.

[General Questions and Answers] neo668:
Agree completely.

Plan B would only be effective if the phone was really lost instead of stolen. Or, you forgetfully left the phone in the car and the car got stolen.

But as VJ said, it's worth a shot.

I am looking at buying one of the china branded dual sim phones like umi x2 turbo.

Currently I owns a note 2 with a 4g data and voice connection. This is my personal line where my friends and family calls.

I have another secondary company line running on a bb9900 just for clients to idd call and access work email. Funny that it can access work email but I cant browse the web with it but anywhere that doesnt bother cos I surf the web on my note 2.

Question..

1) can I have whatsapp, line, wechat...running concurrently on both numbers? Or I gotten choose between this number or that?

2) I am aware I can select which line's data and voice line to use when making outgoing call or to access the web. Since I am on 4G data connection, is there any china phone out there that supports 4G?

3) will I be able to continue receiving work mails on the phone ? Not sure if my 9900 is currently on bb pushmail service. I am too alien to bb.

I just finds it a bother to carry 2 phones and seems china is currently up to speed and offering better specs than branded ones.. I thought of making that switch.

Any switchers like me here? What r your experience and thoughts on tis ?

If you can manage to get one, there is a Chinese version of HTC One with dual SIM capability. I'm not sure which LTE frequencies it uses or how hard is to buy it from China, though. But totally worth a look, based on your needs.

Sent using XDA for Android

---------- Post added at 09:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 PM ----------

From what I read, the SP has another major flaw: battery life while on LTE. I think it's kinda weird, since the RAZR HD has almost the same battery and does great on staying away from the charger, and because last generation's flagships from Sony (XPeria V and the LTE-enabled T, don't remember the model name now) had considerably smaller batteries and do just fine in this matter, even with previous generation CPUs. It could be due to not-so-good calibration for this matter in the firmware, I can't tell for sure. Anyway, there's always Stamina Mode to help.

Cheapest 4G Phone

Here in the sunny UK we are going to see 4G rolled out to more and more networks, what is the cheapest 4G phone to buy with no contracts?

If you don't mind having an outdated device, there is an LTE-capable Galaxy Nexus. Also, some Samsung devices from 2 generations ago support 4G.

HTC One - a few pre-purchase worries

HTC One - a few pre-purchase worries

Dear all

I've had HTC HD2 since Dec 2009 and want to upgrade - possibly to HTC One. Although 32GB is plenty for me, and I've never had a spare battery for my phones, I do still have 2 quite specific concerns about the lack of removable SD & battery:

Sometimes my HD2 (running Android) gets stuck in a boot-loop and the ONLY way to get it out is to take tha back off & remove the battery, then re-insert & power on - what if this ever happens with HTC One?

One of the potential advantages of storing eg. documents, photos etc on the SD card is that if the phone goes wrong / becomes bricked, you can just take out the SD and you've got your data. Is this a real concern? If the HTC One becomes bricked for any reason (eg if I screw up while trying to root / upgrade in the future, or if it just spontaneously can't boot for example), could data stored on the phone somehow be recoverable?

Many thanks for any thoughts you may have!
[General Questions and Answers] K3n H1mur4:
For the first one: all phones with non-removable batteries have their way to soft-reset. My XPeria S, i.e., does this by holding power+volume up for a few seconds. A Nokia N8 I tested for a few days a couple years ago did it by holding power for a few secs. Every phone will have their own way of doing this. A quick Google search or a few minutes reading the manual will solve this for you, if you purchase this phone.

For the storage issue: I think the best solution is to backup data regularly, either on your computer or with a cloud service like dropbox or something like that (if I remember well, Titanium Backup has this integration with dropbox for your apps). Plus, if you screw up with /system or /data, and is concerned about your files, the first thing to do is try an ADB pull the files from the internal storage partition (usually /media or /sdcard), if possible (usually possible if you're able to access recovery). Maybe fastboot has an option to do this as well (and it's even harder to screw up than everything else), but I don't know this.

Last, but not least: keep your HD2 around after you buy your new phone, it's a nice device to have, given its near-infinite hacking capabilities.

Should I get the S4 or wait for the Note 3?

The S4 just seems bland and normal, like everything other phone in its class. That's why I want to wait for the Note.

Currently I have the Droid Razr MAXX HD, and I love it. The battery life is great, and on the stock rom I got up to 3 full days of usage. I am worried about switching to a different phone with a smaller battery, but I did just see that there is a 5000MaH battery out for the S4.

5.7' 1080p screen

3gig ram

Snapdragon 800 2.x GHz

Adreno 330

And obviously note series has huge battery

If u like huge screen and can wait til October-Nov than note 3 is a safe bet.
