Help me make a discussion

I can't decide ! maybe i should wait for 810, or buy nexus 6 or...

Here's what i want:

1. Good and possibly big screen

2. Being able to run latest games

3. Don't care much about battery but bigger = better :D

4. Want to keep it for long ! unless some mind blowing phone comes

5. I want OTG!

6. I don't use much space ! even the 16gb nexus 4 seems enough for me :)

7. I don't care about camera even one bit ;P don't care if it doesn't even have camera :D

8. I don't care about thickness and size of the phone, i got huge pockets :D

9. If it gets damaged there are no places that i can repair it here :| (almost)

so, my current list is this:

1. Nexus 6

2. Z ultra (3 or 2 or new one :D)

3. Waiting for 64-bit 810

what happens if i get 32-bit now? what kind of things i won't be able to do? :(

can you recommend me anything else or tell me to wait or get nexus 6?

also, i have money, but im saving for future so im on a budget :) (i mean im willing to spend as long as its absolutely worth it!)

sorry for long post :D

Looking for a new tablet to replace my TF700. I was looking at the Shield Tablet, but I have a couple questions.

1) How is the rotation speed of the screen? I saw a video comparing it to a N7'13 and the Shield was slower by like 2-3 seconds on screen rotating. Has this been fixed?

2) How is the storage and RAM speed of the Shield? My biggest complaint with the TF700 was the slow storage speeds and it slowing to a crawl when updating apps in the Play store.

Looking at new phones but not sure which to get. Iphone 6+ or google nexus 6. From what i have been told the iphone can connect to more LTE bands than any other phone. I have Sprint so that is a plus. My Note 3 sucks in this aspect, so how will the Nexus 6 fair in this aspect. I was told by a tech, if you have issues with the Note 3, you will be far worse with the Note 4 which is the phone I was going to buy. A article I read puts the Iphone 6 way a head of the Nexus 6 on every function accept Ui wise.

Hey everyone. I'm looking to purchase a tablet for myself, but I can't decide which one. I'm not looking to spend too much, so i narrowed it down to theLenovo s8 or the Tesco Hudl 2.. They're both similarly spec'd, so I can't decide. I've heard the hudl gets very hot and the battery is poor, but the s8 doen't have a micro hdmi. which makes me ask, does the lenovo have MHL capabilities through the micro usb port? If yes, is it rootable (xposed/remove bloat).

Thanks for all your help.

LG G Pad 8.3. Not nearly as much as the Nexus 7 in terms of custom ROMs, but there's a few. Good hardware, perfect size, affordable price.
[General Questions and Answers] Synozix:
Heya,

I have a friend who wants a tablet and has specific needs (they refuse to get a laptop or anything else). They want to be able to run Microsoft Access and Visual Basic on it which although I am good with technology I do not dabble in this field for tablets. I have done various searches on Google but no solid answers for a good product in her price range.

There is a Linx tablet for around £150 which has Windows 8.1 and Office 365 subscription but does not have Microsoft Access I believe. Is there an alternative to combat the programs she would like to run above and within a £100-200 price range if possible.

Thanks in advance!

Hi

In the close future I would change my good old O4XHD to something new.

Here's what I would like it to have:

- European LTE band

- good camera

- if only internal storage then 64GB, else SD card slot needed

- optical image stabilization would be nice

- around 5" screen size

- android onboard, but not necessary

- non-plastic case would be nice

I would like to spend around 550-600 US dollars. Any suggestions?

My personal fav right now are OnePlus One and Xiaomi Mi4. I think I'll give a chance to one of these Chinese toys ;) any comments, especially with links would be welcome :)
[General Questions and Answers] doubledragon5:
I'm leaning towards it for sure.. My only issue, I like complete control of my phone, which the Nexus like other androids seem to provide... So far none of the local stores even have it on display yet.. I want to see and feel what it looks like.. Plus anyone here with a previous Nexus phone, (Sprint) can be able to tell my how you service has been? LTE and Call goes.. The only reason and only reason to look at the Iphone 6 right now, is that it can connect to more LTE towers better than any other phone, as I have been told.. My wife already has it coming, but I'm still not sure.. I was doing a comparing on about 10 different devices, including the HTC line of phones...

[General Questions and Answers] Active09:
Sony Xperia Z3? Or wait for the Z4?
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
The Z3 is a beast, but the Z4 is Godzilla. If the rumored specs are true, anyway. 5.5" QHD screen, Snapdragon 810 (64 bit), and 4 freaking gigs of RAM. Assuming Sony sticks with their 6 month release cycle, I think you'd be disappointed if you bought the Z3 and only a few months from now the Z4 came out. Unless you don't want a phone that big.

Z1 Compact or Nexus 5 32 GB?

I want suggestions on what should i buy Z1 Compact or Nexus 5 32 GB?
[General Questions and Answers] Stuart Little:
Nexus 5 32GB ( Android L ) :)
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
Unless you need the complete freedom of what the Nexus 5 offers, I'd recommend the LG G2 over it. It should cost the same as the Nexus 5, whether you buy new or used, and the camera is a lot better and the battery is much bigger. There's still plenty of custom ROMs and kernels and such development for the LG G2, just not as much as the Nexus 5 (but what does?).

Nothing wrong with the Z1 Compact, but it's much smaller. Only you can decide if that's a good thing for you or not.

Hi,

Is there any difference in different smartphones signal strenght? I am looking for a phone that picks up great 3G signal, any brands or specific models I should prefer or avoid instead?

Pretty much looking for a phone with:

- strong 3G signal

- above average battery

- around 250EUR max. (300 is too much)

Any help is appreciated :)
[General Questions and Answers] icanttinkofaname:
Signal is dependent on the network and where you live, not the phone. Most operators have a coverage checker, pick one that has good coverage of the places you're likely to be most often.

Battery is largely usage/app dependant. I have a HTC One (m7) and I don't get the same life as other owners of the same phone, because I'd consider myself a heavy user. Most phones nowadays can last the day. If it's that important, look at the mAh for the phone's battery. Higher is bigger battery.

The only major constraint is your budget. Pick one that you like that's affordable.

Chinese TabletPhone Consensus?

I'm seeking a general opinion. What I want to buy is a Tablet Phone (Phablet) and specifically that—less expensive Chinese Clone if possible. An unlocked two-SIM, quad band job, 4.7-to-5.3" screen, WiFi, 3G/4G, Android 4.x, two camera with the highest resolving at 8 mp, memory expandable to 32gb, all the currently desirable standard bells-and-whistles—to be used both as a phone and extensively for general tablet purposes, including video (catching up on teevee), audio (music of course), word processing and ebook reading…all formats. Currently I carry two small devices: a feature ClonePhone running Nucleus (Dapeng T8000) for calls and an iPod Touch 3G for everything else. I'm hoping for a Tablet phone that'll do the lot, so I need carry only one toy.

Here's the thing: I just had a disappointing experience with the HaiPai X710D. Out of the box it had problems I learned were common to the model, with firmware (trouble addressing the SD expansion card) and a too-recessed earphone port. I read about the workarounds but didn't want to be compromised before I began, so after playing with it as-was, just to get the feel of the interface, etc. I returned it. I'd like to avoid a hinky model next time.

I do understand that in some ways, any Chinese clone is subject to imperfection, so—that acknowledged—what are the best, work-well-out-of-the-box-without-modification-needed Tablet Phones that meet the general specs of what I've described above. Any recommendations?

My Samsung Captivate decided to take a dive into a pool, but luckily I'm eligible for an upgrade. Every single time this happens (upgrading) I can never figure out what to get, and end up just settling on whatever my first choice was. This time, I want to get some good facts and opinions on what would be the best path. The last day I've been looking at the HTC One X, but now two other phones have caught my eye.. Motorola Atrix HD and Sony Xperia Ion (both of which are $0.01 upgrade through Amazon). Are there any other phones I should take into consideration? HTC One X is $79.99 on Amazon and that's the absolute most I'll spend..

This is on AT&T.
[General Questions and Answers] abaaaabbbb63:
Hello!!

I have a HTC Desire, and decided it's time for an upgrade. It's been a very good phone, but it

s starting to become slow. What would you guys recommend?

I can choose between HTC One X, HTC One S, Samsung Galaxy S3, LG Optimus 4X HD. Xperia T doesn't look bad either...

The only thing that bothers me is that HTC One X doesn't give access to the battery, so it's hard to replace it, or pull it out in case of a freeze.

Oh yea... The phones needs a good community, with lots of roms, as I will be flashing the s**t out of it :)

OR

Are there any phones coming out in the nearby future that are worth the wait? If yes, please tell me.

I don't wan't to make a bad decision.

Hey everyone. So I originally had the Droid 2 which was good and all, until I got the iPhone 4. I mean, I like the iPhone and all, except to me, it doesn't seem like a phone and I really miss android quite a bit. My contract has been up for a while now and I feel it's time to change back and get a droid.

Any good ones out there at the moment other than the GS3? Should I wait a bit longer for a better phone? I don't care if it has a sd slot or not, don't put a bunch of stuff on my phone anyways. Any ideas?

Need help deciding on a tablet.

A little backstory I have owned a 10.1" Lenovo around android 4.1 days. And then last year I bought a nexus 7. I sold the lenovo after a few months and the Nexus after less than a month. I don't use the tablets enough to justify the price.

However, I am in the market for a new one. This time with very specific needs. I am going to have it sit in my living room and use it for web browsing and maybe some chromecasting. I don't care about horsepower, build quality, screen res, games, etc. Looking for something around $50. I know there are a crap load of tablets in this range usually about 7". Custom roms are nice, but not important. Root would be great however.

That would depend on the price. If you can get it for really, really cheap, then sure. But if you're buying full retail, my answer would be "hell no!". The iPad Mini 1 has a craptacular screen. 162ppi? Is this 2010? I won't get in to iOS vs Android right now, but if you want an iPad Mini, get the Mini 2 or the Mini 3 (because why not pay $100 more for a fingerprint scanner?).
[General Questions and Answers] ahawlery:
Hello all,

I've had a note 3 for a year and few months now. I loved it at first, but touchwizz is just too annoying for me. I traded my first note 3 for a galaxy s5 for some reason, I thought it would be better. It's not, I just hate touchwizz too much to appreciate any samsung phone. I can't root the devices either, so I've had enough of samsung phones.

Now I'm stuck, because I have no idea which phone I should buy. I'd love the Motorola Droid Turbo(mainly because of the battery!), but it's not available in the Netherlands (and it won't be any time soon).

And as for the note 4, nexus 6 and other new devices, they're an overkill for me, honestly. I don't need a UHD display, it just drains battery.

So what I want in my new phone is the following:

Good (removable preferred, in case the battery dies) battery (my note 3's battery sucked after like 3 months, it was touchwizz' fault. I only got like 3-4 hours SOT).

smooth performance

decent camera

regular updates (or rootable, so I can update it myself)

4g support, as I have a 4g contract

I've looked at the HTC one m8, motorla moto x (2nd gen), nexus 5, nexus 6, note 4, lg g3 and OPO. I don't like any of them(see reasons above), but maybe one of you can convince me to buy one of these anyway or maybe you've got another suggestion for me.

Thanks for reading!
