Hi everybody,

I'm saving up for my first phone, finally! I'm 17, living with my parents, and attending high school. So, I think you can understand my budget and the fact that I'm not looking for (neither can I afford lol) a super phone i.e. Galaxy SII/SIII.

Basically, I'm looking for a phone that satisfies some, if not all of these requirements:

Good sound chip and sound quality in general ; does not rely on specific headphones (like the Sensation XE/XL which relies on the Beats Headphones). Music is in mind.

Should have good multimedia capabilities in general. This phone will serve as an iPod/Media Player.

With plenty of multimedia playing throughout the day, there is a strong need for a good, long-lasting battery. Should be able to go through the day without dying out on me and charge fully throughout the night.

Android OS, should support ICS (doesn't matter if it's by ROM flashing or if it's official from the manufacturer).

Remember, I'm not looking for a super phone. So, processing power isn't much of a worry. Dual Cores aren't needed at all. But if they come with the package, then sure do.

Price-range: Not above $500. The lower you can go and find a decent phone, the better. Something around $200 - $350 is promising (no contract).

Manufacturers I'm aiming for:

- HTC

- Samsung

- Motorola

- LG (only if it's the only choice on this one or if it's the absolute accurate pick).

Thanks in advance guys! :)

Alrighty... Well, the holidays are rolling up on us, and I'm pondering upgrading from my Dinc. Don't get me wrong, I love my dinc, but considering it serves as a mini-tablet, it's starting to show its age when engaging in multitasking or turning on some of the more advanced display effects or streaming HD video. (plus the wifi Antenna in it is less than optimal)

So, a preferable replacement? Used. I have about a hundred bucks to play with out of the holiday budget. Obviously the basics you find on any smart phone such as GPS, SD reader, Bluetooth, etc... Specifically however...

If you can find a used photon 4g it can be used with sim apparently. I recently searched Craigslist for one and found it for 70. Also it has gorilla glass.

If you can wait for the next nexus to come and lower the price of the galaxy nexus.the gnex would be a good buy considering the support will last as long as the earth will.that will require hardcore savings though.

Otherwise you can search for a used atrix 4g .g2x. nitro hd (rare possibility) .

Looking for a new tablet

Hi,

I'm looking for a new tablet for myself, and have a few requirements for it to meet:

1. A 10" or so screen. prefered

2. Can run JB, vanila-based ROM, doesn't have to be OOB, a custom ROM such as CyanogenMod (which I really like) is also good.

3. If running a custom ROM, I want it to have as few as known issues as possible, and bugs as well if possible. If you're recommending a tablet and can list the known issues in any way that are associated with it that would be most appreciated.

4. It needs to be a high-performance tablet (good specs) - Quad-Core, a lot of RAM etc (Quad-Core isn't a must, but it's always good to have over dual core).

Also, if you think that a good tablet that meets the above requirements will come out soon, let me know, I'm willing to wait.

I'd go for the Nexus 7", but it's screen is too small for me.

Any help on the matter will be most appreciated,

Thanks.

hello,

maybe somone can help me out.

I'l looking for a phone that:

* is available in europe preferably

* has dual sim

* has 3G or better

* can tether that 3G trough BT or wifi

* has (when not using data) at least 4 or 5 day's working time ( = just call / sms - of course not all the time but let's say max 1 hour of call's/day and the rest standby)

it does not need to be a smartphone, any os is okay, only thing i want to do on the phone itself is sms/call

All "smartphones" i find fall out of the scope due the very limited battery life they have and frankly i would prefer a small form factor like a basic cheap mobile.

Is there any mobile like that exist?

Budget Smartphone

Hi guys and happy new year,

We are 3 friends here in Greece that want to make a gift to our best friend for his birthday and since he is currently unemployed and his old galaxy s2 screen broke we are trying to find a smartphone around 150-180€.

i don't care about the brand as long as it gets good reviews and has decent specs. The Moto G for instance has ok specs but here in Greece the cheapest we can find it is 230€. Also lenovo and oppo seem interesting. I don't mind ordering online as long as it's a trusted online store that members of this forum have used before so feel free to suggest.

I also don't care if the phone is Chinese or Taiwanese or whatever as long as it's considered good and solid and it's supported here in XDA.

Thanks

Samsung..Sony..or something else?

Hello Dear Friends

first of all sorry for my bad english :(

I got a problem... i dont know what to buy at all x.x i had a note II and it was fine but kinda had a lot of issues with it :(

so i would like to avoid samsung..i like the note III but i dont want that cheap thingy again :( had tos end it in atleast 2 times because it broke (not my fault..it was on the construction side) and also some of my friends had troubles with their s4

so the mobile phones i'm currently watching are

Sony XZ1

Sony XZU

HTC One

...

and thats it.. but actually :( the problem is i would like a new device but i use it most often for stuff like browsing...mltimedia...watching youtube/twitch in the evening ...chatting with friends and such stuff

i was pretty sure the ZXU is the way to go because its like both in one for me, and i can carry it in my handbag

but i heard that the foil they use is a fingerprint magnet and gets easy scratches..and that if i put another foil over it..that it wont work as great as before and the display will be less nice :(

thats why i also had the idea to maybe buy a 5" device like the z1..that i can use on the go and buy an additional nexus 7 just for home..watching videos on it / browsing..chatting and such stuff :( how would that be ? it would atleast make it so i could use the z1 with one hand and take better pictures... but the zu would be the better all in one package and obv. way cheaper.. but these issues with it really bother me

Android TV Box

Hi Guys

I really like the look of some of the Android TV boxes , as an all-in-one solution I would like to Add a DVB-T dongle . Is it possible to intergrate a generic USB DVB-T dongle to an Android device or not?

If so is it a strait foreward, download tuner app , plug and play ?

I spotted a generic USB Tuner Dongle , which apparently is supported by a cyclone android device , cheap too

If one uses an external USB Tuner , will it be supported with Keyboard and mouse , or remote supplied with device ?

I would prefer a box with a rockchip , 4.2 JB and support for DVb-T Devices, however this is not essential but I would imagine there would be greater support due to the power of the device

I intiall thought of buying a box with DVB-T built in from Chinese suppliers but these use older ARM based processors with no Jellybean support , only ICS

Smart Android TV boxes with DVB-T built in seemingly are lacking in power with older ARM chipsets . I quickly found that there are many more powerful devices in the same price range without DVB-T , supporting 4.2 + O/S

However if it prooves too difficult adding a USB Tuner , I will settle for an ARM based device (AML8726-M3 ) with DVB-T built in from China - Just to save time

Just wanted to see your thoughts guys

Much appreciated

S4 mini is easily the best choice rather than the z10. My cousins girlfriend owns one and its surprisingly quick for what it is and the battery is not to shabby either. Plus blackberry's operating system is horrid
[General Questions and Answers] nomadewolf:
I agree with samkent6.

If you don't know what to buy you should go with Android.

Phone cameras will never differ too much and even if they do, chances are you won't use them many times.

You can always squeeze a bit more battery life out of your android if you are willing to make somes sacrifices. Greenify is a good app that helps achieving that at no cost.
[General Questions and Answers] All Day On XDA:
I have a budget of around £1000.

I need an ultraportable with decent battery life. 8hrs+

My needs are mainly browser based, flash necessary, occasional office work, occasional gaming (should be able to run Civ5 well). I like to mess about with Roms on my Android phone so I'm leaning towards a windows based system. I don't mind Mac as it can be dual booted.

The 256gb Surface Pro 2 is compelling. But the Macbook pro retina is more powerful.

I like the idea of replacing my first generation ipad which I found far too limited. So the surface gives me my tablet fix too.

Do you smart folk think I've left out any other good options and which would you choose? I felt the macbook air was too weak for games and the other windows 8 hybrids were decent but flawed in one way or another.

I've tried them both out in the stores. Build quality is excellent on both, though I find the mac a bit boring.

I know it seems I'm leaning towards the Surface but it also has some quirks, eg pen placement and lap stability.

I'm gonna decide in 12 hours. What's the best choice today?

After recently breaking my screen on my galaxy s2(mhl still works - mostly). The cost of replacing the screen vs. a new device.

a new device is in order.

I am going to be using StraightTalk as my carrier(AT&T, its what works best in my area(s)).

I think i have it narrowed down to 2 choices, but i am not in a rush, and have a open mind on what device i should choose.

Sony Xperia Z

or

Galaxy Note II

I narrowed it down by this criteria:

sdcard is a MUST

Battery has to be decent(8-12+ hours of constant use)

has to be Durable(drops on concrete shouldnt break my device)*[within reason, i know]

Rootable(of course)

MHL

Service lights** Not a requirement but i would really like to have them.

** A Slide out keyboard would be major Bonus

Budget is max of $350

Or should i buy another s2, and wait for some of the current high end phones drop in price?

or do you have another phone suggestion?
