I don't have the tab, so I don't really know (but I should get it soon anyways ;) ) I just know it's a beast tablet and as JB update with stock firmware, so probably runs nice.

Here's the CM10, and its already android 4.1.2! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1845200

Bugs are not mentioned, so probably everything works. I see the guy who posted the ROM now, so it's something official ;)

I just love this tablet, so...

About the transformer variations, they say the prime is better - but I don't see any diferences. This version is cheaper :D There is also the tf700t, but I don't anything about that one, as they don't sell it on my country (Portugal).
[General Questions and Answers] benthe:
Thanks.

I just looked it up on Asus' Global website and saw there are also the TF300TG and the TF300TL (in addition to the TF300T), what's the difference between the three?

tf300tg is with 3g capatibilities, tf300tl gonna check cause I never heard about that :D

Sony is in the phone business? At first, I would giggle. But seeing the Xperia P's specs, I don't think there's a better alternative around the same price range. Thanks a lot, BTW. Oh, and would you (or anybody else) recommend the Xperia S over the U if budget isn't a problem?

So far, the only problem I have with the U and S models is that they have poor battery life. If they can offer around 5-6 hours talk time, how many hours of music playing will they be able to offer?
[General Questions and Answers] Felimenta97:
You're quite lost haha

I suggested the P because it's the best of the three on that price. If you're country has the T, and budget isn't a problem, then pick it up. If not, S. Then XP.

I myself have the XS (is this phrase grammatically correct?), and my battery is awesome in the latest firmware (look for the "Xperia S battery life" thread, and my latest posts there). I'd say it could offer at least 6 hours of direct playback without WiFi, or even more. Dunno.

"I got my values. So you can keep yours, OK?"
[General Questions and Answers] Ghost ic0n:
Been doing my research, what do you (or anybody else) make of the Sony Xperia Ion? Can it sit comfortably between the S and T? Right now, I'm finding it to be the most interesting of all, especially since major reviews proved its music playback quality and battery life to be sweet along with having decent specs.
[General Questions and Answers] Felimenta97:
The only difference between the ion and the S is the screen size and design, mostly.

The T is, with absolutely sure, that it's the best device between all those. The ion has almost no dev, when S have a medium to slow dev (but we have some nice things, such as KXP (AOKP for Xperia's), CM10, and stock based ROMs, and also dual boot. T dev is going to be really good, as many recognized devs seems to have got the device.

The XS battery, as I said, is great with the latest update, and the XT should be better than S (maybe not exactly right now, since it just got launched, so updates will come, but in the future I'm sure it will).
[General Questions and Answers] Ghost ic0n:
TBH, I'm lost right now lol. I'm just another one of those extra careful, extra whatever-you-call 'em type of people that can't decide on one thing. I've been looking around various deals for new, in-box & factory unlocked Xperia phones and so far, I'm finding deals of the Ion and S in which there's a $80 USD difference between the two. Other than just that price difference, I'm leaning towards the Ion, and I don't know why..... trust of the gut, maybe?

Anyway, the last thing I'd like to ask would be:

- What am I losing if I buy the Ion? And what am I gaining?

- What am I losing if I buy the S? And what am I gaining?

Both have ICS, and both have positive reviews. Although none of the reviews really mentioned sound quality/music play-back in general, will I be getting a proper iPod replacement if I pair any of the two sets with good quality headphones? Oh, and the XT is out of my budget. :p

BTW, thanks a bunch for the help!
[General Questions and Answers] Felimenta97:
Let me try to help you:

Ion

Pro:

Bigger screen (0.3 bigger)

Maybe a brighter screen

MicroSD slot

Con:

Smaller PPI (less pixels per inch, that makes the individual pixels easier to see)

Almost null dev (maybe not even root)

Boring design

S:

Pro:

Higher PPI (can't remember about numbers, but it's not they noticeable the difference)

More development

Easier root

Better design

More internal memory (32 GB vs 16 GB Ion)

Con

No MICROSD card slot

... Honestly I can't think of more cons for it.

Both phones have NFC, same camera and audio.

There is an awesome mod, which started on the XS forums, and spread when the compatibility to other devices got higher, that is awesome. It really increases the sound quality.

For the headphones, I'd say to toy to check the headphones thread on the accessories section of XS forums. There are dozens and dozens of pages with opinions, which headphones works, which work partially, etc.

I'm also looking to buy a new phone

My first (and currently in use with Cyanogen Mod 9) it's the sony xperia x10 mini pro, loved the OS but I think it's time to look for a new phone

As for the money something in between mid-high end phones wouldn't be a problem, Sony's phones are OK, but I saw the Samsung S3 recently and that beautiful screen really impressed me a lot, I can't afford it though.

I don't prefer any particular brands so please enlighten me with a good phone =P.

Galaxy Y has next to nil resale value.

Better keep it in airplane mode with everything uninstalled and wiped,, and use it as an mp3 player on long trips.. :good:

And about the new device, in your budget with around 500 or so more, you can simply not find a better phone than the Xperia M.

A Snapdragon S4 processor, 1gig RAM, 4.2.2 updated, great 1750 battery, front & back cam with flash.

Nope, doesn't get better.

What line of phones for root and custom roms - going forward

Hey there

I've been on the Samsung bandwagon since well the Instinct, Moment (started rooting here on AMS website), Epic and now my S3.

I'm so disappointed in their choice to lock the boot loader on their devices recently (KNOX). I got my S3 on 6/21/2012 and skipped 4.3 Once that update came out I jumped to AOSP KitKat ROMs.

I'm just thinking ahead to what line of devices to consider next, I know Nexus is the next most likely candidate as it is all about AOSP and has a good development base. Their problem is they don't always pack the latest hardware because of their position in the market.

I happened upon this on the Sony's mobile site. Which surprised me and instantly added their line of devices on my radar. Checking the Xperia Z forum it looks like there is a fair amount of development.

Motorola (which was just sold to Lenovo) has SafeStrap

LG G2 looks to be pretty well supported as well.

Any current Samsung Galaxy users considering same? Anyone on those device lines currently have issues/likes with them?

I appreciate your assistance and suggestions.
[General Questions and Answers] abdel12345:
Well Sony might not be so supportive anymore but I think it's just T-Mobiles fault but the xperia z1s is locked and can't unlock but again I think that's because of tmobile. I'd say Motorola is a good choice and the g2. Also the nexus 5 has great hardware. Not sure where you got your info from but it's almost the same as g2. Difference is the g2 has slightly bigger screen (.2 inches more), bigger battery (this is a major difference. 3000 vs 2300 in nexus 5), and camera which is 13 mp vs 8 mp. The nexus 5 still takes great photos but it sucks at video recording (real dark but it's apparently soft ware issue because different camera mods fix it)

[General Questions and Answers] ptc62:
Need some assistance in making a decision. I'm torn for 3 different devices for a few different reasons, I'll list them below. Any guidance is very much appreciated:

Nokia 1020

- Been a long time Android user, tried the iPhone 3g way back when. I've been thinking about going full circle and giving Windows phone a try.

- A little worried that a newer windows phone is right around with corner with MWC right around the corner

- Really worried about having to migrate my google services to microsoft's offerings.

Nexus 5

- Swore up and down my next droid would be a nexus

- A little worried that a new nexus is around the corner, wasn't the 5 released mid year last year?

- Might be last opportunity to get a nexus if rumors are true about google going the GPE route over nexus

- $399 is cheap for what it is, but it's still $399 and I'm paying for subsidy through AT&T anyway

Moto X

- $99 dollars if I renew my contract

- Get to stay with droid ecosystem

- Worried about software upgrades, but currently have GS3 so I'm already trained on not getting prompt updates anyway I guess.

Thanks again for your thoughts and opinions!
[General Questions and Answers] thatdude02:
Well I would recommend 2 out of 3 of those choices. I can't really say much about the windows phone, but anyway here goes.

Nexus 5

If you are a 100% flashaholic looking for something with tons of ROMs and hacking ability go for this phone. Snapdragon 800 on board and 2gb of RAM; this baby will fly. Keep in mind no expandable storage though. Also since it is a Nexus it will be getting updates first. I had a Nexus 4 and loved it. I think you will really like this phone if you get it.

Moto X

Well I used to have the Nexus 4 and came to this phone; won't be going back any time soon. Yes, specs aren't amazing when it comes to this phone, however there is something to be said about a device being built around a specialty processor! Yes it is dual core for day to day use, but it is no slouch. The best part is the battery life you will get with this phone. My Nexus, I had to run to the charger after half a day, but the Moto X I could use twice as much and not have to worry about it all day. The AMOLED screen is beautiful! Not to mention the features built over a near vanilla android! Touch less controls and active display are two amazing features hard to replicate on other devices because the phone's processor was built for it! I also much prefer the form factor of this device in hand with the curved back and dimple in the back of it. Oh and just got the 4.4.2 update (Rogers phones were the last to get the update).

Can you tell I'm a fan of the Moto X? Haha

Either way I think you will enjoy your new device I just think that the subtle features of the Moto X will win you over because I really don't see the need to root this device. The Nexus 5 I would recommend only if you absolutely need those custom ROMs on your phone.

Best of luck!

[General Questions and Answers] jorgeabe99:
Nexus 5 and Moto X are the best option. Both are perfectly hardware-balanced devices which results in great prices.

Moto X has proven not to have software upgrades problems at all.

---------- Post added at 09:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------

Both are perfectly hardware-balanced devices, but for $50 difference, I would choose the slight newest Nexus 5, which has a 1080p display and a bit more robust hardware (thinking to the future).

The Nexus 5 has the original Android version, which means you get an perfectly polished UI and experience using this phone. Moto X also has a similar experience.

Hello :)

So, I've been travelling quite a bit lately and I really need a good desktop replacement device for when on the go (try taking a water cooled i7 with two monitors on you on a aeroplane...) Mainly for light productivity, keeping up to date with social networks and some minor 3d gaming and watching videos from flash-based websites.

My SGS4 is doing a good job so far, but having a tendancy to write large amounts of text can be tedious on a touchscreen... The fact it's only 5 inches and its tendency to keep dimming after a few minutes use makes it a strain on my eyes..

At first I thought a high end netbook would be perfect, however they are no longer sold in my country seeing the tablet boom a couple years ago, most retailers are simply not selling them anymore..

What would you suggest?

Musts: PHYSICAL KEYBOARD, compatibility with Adobe Flash plugins, half decent processing power... I dont want youtube to stutter when multi tasking.

Appreciate but not essential: x86 based if Win8 device, solid build and not too expensive.

PS: Would a Galaxy Tab give me advantages by being able to sync / share features with my other galaxy devices? SGS4 & SGS III Mini.

Thanks in advance.

Looking for a phone that works on TMobile 1700/1900/2100 bands, thats in the sub $250 prices range preferablly around $180.

I was considering the Moto G but like that and many other phones you cannot get the full range of bands offered by tmobile which will not work for me. Though i mostly have the 1900 mhz band in my area i do often travel through rural areas where only the 1700mhz band is offered so i really need both to have good 3G coverage.

If anyone got sugguestions of phones within the price range and will be compatible with TMobiles service please let me know. Spec wise im lookin for something mid tier comperable with the moto g, and i dont mind going with lesser known brands (blu,zte, ect.) if they support the bands.

Hi guys, I just want to ask, I'm looking for the best phone in the market right now, I'm not interested in the Nexus nor the galaxy 4, I'd rather whether the LG g2 or the Samsung galaxy note 3, which one would be better (both running cyanogenmod) and where can I try them out? Thanks a million
[General Questions and Answers] abdel12345:
I'd say that depends on the size you want. G2 is a perfect size for me but note 3 is too big in my opinion. They both have good batteries and good processors though the note 3 has an extra GB of ram which isn't really necessary unless you run the heavy bloated touchwiz on it. The biggest difference is obviously the size and button placement, I personally just bought a g2 and will be getting it this week so I'll leave some extra feed back then.
[General Questions and Answers] vj_dustin:
1) You can always change the screen timeout in display options to avoid screen dimming.

2) As you mentioned "Galaxy Tab give me advantages by being able to sync / share features with my other galaxy devices? SGS4 & SGS III Mini.", basically, any android tab would allow you to do so. But not a Windows tab.

And a physical keyboard being a must, you have to go for the Windows tablet.

Though personally, I'd recommend getting a Nexus 7 2013 and buying a Minisuit for Nexus 7.

But if budget is not an issue you can get the Xperia Tablet Z and get a suit for it.

I don't have an idea about TMobile's catalogue being from India, I can though give you options in that price range and you can then check if it's available.

Nexus 4 is still THE best option in that price range, hard to get though since production has stopped.

You also have an option for the Xperia L.

I'm not sure about the working of other brands and also not really a fan of Mediatek processors, but you may consider this - ZTE Grand X Quad Lite.

You should read this, it doesn't get any more comprehensive.

LG G2 vs Note 3 vs Z1

Replacement WiFi Only Tablet

My ViewSonic gTablet finally died and I'm looking for a new 10" Tablet. The gTablet certainly had it's issues, but I liked it well enough once I found the right ROM, but of course there was a lot I couldn't use it for due to its limitations. I'd like to know what the community would recommend for me.

Let me start by saying I'm a bargain shopper, but I'd rather spend $500 on something good than $250 on junk. Back when I got the gTablet, I didn't know what I would use it for, but I was willing to spend the $200 just to play with it. Now I expect something more functional, but money is tighter. I really would like to keep this in the $250 range and at the moment I can't go over $350. (The 32GB ASUS Transformer can currently be found for the low $200s)

These are some of the things I'm looking for:

WiFi only. No data plan.

I need a front and rear camera, and they should work with Skype. (I can live with just the front working w/skype)

HDMI out is very important, but not a deal breaker.

Powerful video processor

GPS would be nice, not essential

Strong ROM support from XDA

I saw another member explicitly asked for a SIM card. Are there 10" tablets that wouldn't take one?

Thanks for any and all input,

Andy

I recommend you Nexus 5 without any doubt. Both phones have great hardware, but that is one half part of a device. Software is the another one, and Nexus 5 is powered by the original Android designed by Google, which will give you an overall consistent and beautiful experience, both in aesthetic and performance. LG G2 and another no-Nexus phones always lack of this level of polishing.

im not looking to spend much i want something cheap but a good platform to put roms on that is fairly easy. I already have a nexus 5 and i would rather not mess with that to much i just like how it is, but i would like to have a good back up phone that i can mess around with and use from time to time, so mainly im looking for something that is around 350 if not under that has a micro-sim.

A bit compromise on the screen department and you can choose between the Xperia SP or the Galaxy S3.

Nexus wouldn't suit you since you need a card slot.

If you can compromise a bit on performance, IMO a bit, you can see the Galaxy Grand 2.

And I'm not sure if these devices fall under your budget in your country, but do check the Xperia ZR & ZL.

ZL > ZR so try to get the ZL.
