Hello guys, i am in a big dilema, i want to upgrade my samsung galaxy express, and i am thinking to buy one of this 3 phones: Motorola moto G, Sony Xperia SP or LG L9 II. I want the best experience out of this phones, i think all of them can run games pretty smooth, but i am more interested of smooth scrool trough menu, apps etc. Bottom line, i want the best android experience. My personal choice would be the Xperia SP but i have read in this forum that it has some problems, are they that bad? or true? i saw 2 SP versions, 3G and 4G (this is not a must for me) C5303 or C5302 have problems? They have a similar price in my country, that is why its so hard to pick a phone :)

I am researching this phones for about a week, and my top would be this:

1. Xperia SP

2. Moto G

3. LG L9 II

But i`m not sure, so that is why i am asking you guys :)

BLU Advance 4.0

Hello!

How about a BLU Advance 4.0? I bought TWO for $200 from an outfit in Florida. For the money, I couldn't find anything else this good.

It has a removable battery, dual SIM capability, multiple bands for worldwide use (several; forget the specifics), 2G/3G/4G, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, tethering/hotspot support (for ME, on Linux only - more about THAT in a minute), SDHC slot (max. 32 GB), 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, and Android 4.2.2. It also comes fully unlocked, on AT&T or T-Mobile. Google it for the full specs...

Our two came with a NET10 SIM pre-installed, headset, latex cover, and screen protector. Everyone can find SOMETHING wrong with ANY phone, but so far, I haven't found anything about it that I don't like or can't live with. We pay $50 per line per month for unlimited talk, text, and data (2.5 GB/month at 4G speeds). When we try to hotspot or tether on a Windows PC, it shuts down after a few seconds (NET10 prohibits tethering of any kind, so I believe it's a carrier issue), but seems to do so just fine on Linux machines.

And now, a little bit more about tethering:

I moved to NET10 from Verizon, where I tethered for years without them saying a word. I think I have figured out WHY VZ never said anything to me - I was tethering using Windows PCs on a Windows Mobile phone.

It turns out that Windows and Windows Mobile IP packets both have the same TTL (128ms), as do Android and Linux (TTL=64ms). I speculate that as long as the IP packet TTLs are the same, they can't REALLY tell whether or not you're tethering. As long as you don't go nuts on data usage, why should it be an issue ANYWAY? I guess I'll find out, if I get a nastygram from NET10 about it...

I hope to see more on here in the near future about the Advance 4.0, and how I can root (and otherwise play with) the ROM on this phone. For the money, it REALLY is a GREAT phone!!! :D

The new blu studio 5.5 is sold at my store (not my store, but I work there) for only 250 and is a major upgrade over the 4.0 advance. You should check it out If you like blu when you need a new phone. You can probably find it At a local cell phone store since blu is becoming well known now
[General Questions and Answers] N4RPS:
Hello!

Thanks for the tip!

Not too many people know about BLU here yet. I'm sure the 5.5 is an AWESOME 'phablet', and can PROBABLY be had HERE for around $150 or so.

Should anything happen to our Advances, we'll keep that in mind. THIS time, we needed phones, not phablets...

[General Questions and Answers] judson75:
Hey All, I am a bit confused on the various ways to back up my phone. Here is my current thinking. I make a nandriod before flashing a new ROM or what not in case I need to retreat to a known state. I use Titanium Backup to batch load my apps if the ROM seems to be working and I am going to stay awhile. I have been advised not to restore system data via TBU because it can create problems. This brings me to my question. I notice when I factory reset and am setting up my phone again that I usually see an option to back up my data (and apps?) with google. Is this essentially a cloud version of TBU? I tend to jump back and forth between devices as much as I switch ROMs. Should I use this google back up instead of TBU?

Thanks!

---------- Post added at 04:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 PM ----------

Note 2 is older,worth less, older and less powerful processor, screens not as good, worse camera. Don't swap. That would be a rip off. G2 is way better. Note 2s only advantage is the sd card slot and removable battery like you said but I have the 32 gb g2 and its way more space than I even need.
[General Questions and Answers] Dedzdedz:
I have the 16 GB one :/. I love the G2 but the way i use my phone the note 2 would be better on the productivity side if you understand where i'm going. Plus i could use the extra space and the s-pen it's very usefull. The only game i play is clash of clans, apart from that i listen to music, facebook, tapatalk, and twitter. By the way the note 2 is almost new it is 2 months old ant it has warranty. Do you still think it would be a bad deal?

Which "new" phone?

I'm on Verizon, I'm grandfathered in on the "unlimited data" plan... so there's no way I'm switching carriers or upgrading my phone through Verizon. So I'm buying a phone second hand.

I'm just looking for suggestions on which phone to buy. Here is what I'm looking for:

-Used phone,in good condition. Budget $200 MAYBE more if there's a huge benefit for the extra $ (I've been looking @ '12 models)

-Hassle free support for all Verizon networks and speed bands

-Unlockable/Rootable -I'm a fan of GNU-Linux, and open-source projects of all types. I want the ability to change anything everything!

-Removeable storage in addition to the fixed internal storage

Those were the "must have" features. Other wise here's how I'd rank the importance of features (1being most improtant)

1. Camera: High picture and vedeo quality

2. Processor/Ram and real-world speed of internet browsing and applicaitons

3. Battery time (for in-use, not as concerned about standby time)

4. Size of internal storage not very important as long as it can take 32gb or larger card

5. Durability, not a big deal, I have repaired several phones in the past.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

And above this range, with your requirements of a better camera, check out,

Motorola RAZR XT910

Motorola Atrix 2

and a bit more higher, you have a clear choice of Galaxy S2

Xperia P is a great one too, except for the fact that it has a 1305mAh battery that barely lasts for a day with minimal use.

Thanks yet again! I'm so rooting for an S now, time to search up some sweet ballistic cases and quality screen protectors along the way as I hunt for a sealed, in-box deal. :D

As far as the AC!D mod, it looks professional with all of the addons it gives. But, most of its features rely on the Beats Audio engine/stuff. And Beats (by Dr. Dre,) is strictly for bass-heavy pop/hip-hop songs..... and I'm a metal-head. Along with it, a bunch of punk rock. I hope that the mod doesn't mess up the sound and make the vocals and other instruments unclear due to heavy/loud bass.

BTW, does anybody have experience with this mod in terms of listening to rock, metal/progressive metal, and/or punk rock? Oh, and I'm not going to be using Beats headphones. Instead, I have a pair of Monoprice 8323 noise-isolating headphones which cost only $24, and compete (if not even win at points) with $200+ Beats headphones (according to many professional reviews.)
[General Questions and Answers] Felimenta97:
Well, I listen to a certain number of music styles, such as electronics, rock, punk rock, a little of pop in general (not the ****ty pop most listen), and, IMO, it is perfect for me.

I've been using galaxy S line since the beginning but now want to upgrade my phone.

I want something with:

-irda

-nfc

-fm radio

-waterproof

What I would want would be a galaxy s iv active with fm radio. or a waterproof galaxy s mini. but there isn't such a thing.

since to my knowledge there isn't such a device I'm willing to let go waterproof.

so,

-irda

-nfc

-fm radio

apparently the S iv mini (i9195) would be a good option but it's already too outdated for it's price. for that price I think I can get quad core and 2gb ram.

I've searched around and checked a few ones and noticed that some didn't had a micro sd slot... dafuk... also some didn't had a removable battery...

so I've narrowed down to these ones:

Sony Xperia ZL

LG Optimus G Pro E985

HTC Butterfly S

which one is the best? pros and cons?

thanks.

I have a Kindle Fire 1st gen that is as good as dead. No matter what I do, I cannot get it to charge. It rapidly deteriorated over the last week, requiring several minutes of fiddling to get the right position to charge. I see some repair shops that charge about $30 to fix.

Hi there,

I'm planning to sell my Nexus 4 and get the HTC One, I've always wanted the HTC One.

The only considerable difference I can see in specs is the Camera, HTC One at 4MP and Nexus 4 at 8MP, but strangely the Camera on the Nexus 4 isn't that impressive anyway.

Can someone shed some light on differences between these phones and will it be better to stay with Nexus 4 or go with HTC One?

To me, the visible differences are that Nexus 4 has 4.4 KitKat and 8MP Camera. Is the Camera on the HTC One better?

How about Benchmarks, does the HTC One beat Nexus 4 in all Benchmarks where can I check this?

Please advise, cheers!
[General Questions and Answers] vj_dustin:
Both N4 and One are brilliant devices. And they don't need any benchmark tests to prove themselves. Still if you want a sheet comparison, start looking at GSMarena.

Also the N4 is 8mp and the One is 4 Ultra pixel.

You can compare that quality on that site too.

Though as a personal opinion, but what you like.

You say you have always wanted the One, then get it. It's no downer.
