If you're really trying to save some dough, just buy a new OG HTC EVO 4G (fantastic 8mp camera w/ flash). They run around $65 new. You can also change the radios to work on Verizon, PP, Boost, Spring, Cricket, & Virgin. The development knowledge base is also one of the largest. I used the phone to shoot a video for a startup pitch (along w/ a professional mic), and it looks very professional.

Looking for a new device

Hi,Everyone

I just gave up my Samsung ( Galaxy note 2 GT-N7100 )

So, I am looking for a similar device. I actually wanted to wait for Galaxy note 3 But I want to check if there is some other good devices

I have Iphone 4S ,So I am looking for a big screen like 5" to 6" . also a good battery and camera .

I read somewhere that Galaxy note 3 will have a 5.9" screen and 8 core processor ( exynoa octa 5 ) .and 13 MP camera and some other good stuff

THE BOTTOM LINE is Do you think I should wait for the Galaxy note 3 or is there a good device ???

Thank you and sorry for my bad english !!

Optimus LTE vs Optimus LTE II

I've finally decided to get an Android smartphone after my last one was snatched. Here are my choices:

LG Optimus LTE (SU-640) ~$130

LG Optimus LTE II (F-160) ~$175

The money difference is not a serious one for me as its really negligible when you consider the specs difference. The LTE II has a Krait dual-core processor (LTE I has dual-core S3), 2 gigs of RAM (LTE I has 1 gig), a bigger battery(2150mAH vs 1830 for LTE I) and screen(4.7" vs 4.5" for LTE I), and 16 gigs internal memory (the LTE I only has 4 gigabytes).

The LTE II seems like a straightforward decision BUT, the dev support here on XDA doesn't seem very good, in fact i've only been able to find root instructions for this device. Nothing else. And with LG's track record i doubt they'll support it farther than JellyBean, despite the device having great hardware. Whereas the older, cheap, but less powerful LTE I SU-640 enjoys great dev support and is likely to get unofficial versions of future Android updates.

So what's it going to be? Vastly better specs or better dev support? I should also mention here that the LTE I has subpar battery life whereas the LTE II with its energy efficient S4 cores and bigger battery is a good performer.

Please help me make this decision! Thanks

This is proving to be a very difficult choice to make. So i'm coming to you guys for help.

PS There are no comparable devices in the used market. These offer the best bang for buck of any available. So kindly consider these two only. Thanks again

Can't find LTE 1 forum

Is it the Nitro HD forum ?

As for your query it boils down on you if you want more dev support or better specs

Acc. To me you should go for LTE II
[General Questions and Answers] aircleaner:
yup it's the Nitro HD. Even AOKP support the SU-640. And they only have 4 LG devices mentioned on the support page, so the SU-640 seems to have good dev support across the board. The LTE II has dev support but it's all in Chinese/Korean. They have everything for it like MIUI, CM10.1, but there's nothing in English.

I can't seem to get my priorities right because the price difference is just so negligible.

Battery isn't an issue, but yes, even I fail to understand the Google logic of no SD Slots.

Well in that case, You can wait for the Moto X (slightly bigger at 4.7' i think)

HTC One at 4.7' also is pretty damn good, though on a personal level I hate Sense UI.

S4 is quite big on size.

[General Questions and Answers] vanessaem:
Have you tried looking on YouTube, the review sites or customer reviews? Honestly, no one can really suggest or determine what device is best for you. If you know what you're looking for in a device, find one that suits your needs. Someone can suggest something and you have and hate it. I would suggest finding a few phones you're interested in and checking customer reviews on the internet. Many times that's how I determine what to get. I find that subjective, personal and actual user reviews and experience with a device is more informative that the professional ones.

[General Questions and Answers] mhoss48:
If u like music see htc product specially those with the boomsound, thought the speaker on the One X is a keeper.
[General Questions and Answers] Galaxy_S_:
Well I have done a lot of research. The answer that is most important to me now is how Samsung's device support is. I haven't had one since they came out with the first S series about 3 years ago. And back then their device support was crap. I've heard mixed reviews on this subject. I've seen some people say they are more concerned with building flashy new devices to compete with Apple instead of worrying about their customers with older phones. And then I've heard people say that they are the most involved when it comes to device support and that they regularly push updates out. That's something that's really important to me as I will have this phone for probably 2 years and I don't want it to become outdated in less than a year.
[General Questions and Answers] vanessaem:
You can probably make the same arguments for other device manufacturers as well. Most notably, HTC. They're slow to push out updates and once they have a flashy, new device in their line of products, the older devices, even the ones a year old, are all but ignored. If you're on a two year contract, you're screwed by having an outdated device with no updates forthcoming. It's all about money with these companies and no way in h*ll am I shelling out close to $600 to get the latest and greatest device every year.

So back to what I'm saying about finding what works best for you. One thing I do consider when buying devices is the support they have on websites(mainly this one :)) as far as rooting, the amount of roms and mods available and other support before I purchase. I look to see if there's a community built for the device first. That's why I don't get devices that just come on the market. I wait two to three months and see what's up then decide.

[General Questions and Answers] KidCarter93:
Sorry for the late response. Had an absolute hell-ish day yesterday.

There is a noticeable difference from a 4.7 to a 7 inch screen, but if you're worried it'll be too small then the Note 10.1 would be a good choice. The upside is that both are great devices, so the only real difference between the 2 is the screen size.

Which is more important to you for your choice? Is it the screen size or the customization of it?

If you don't want to be running MIUI, then choose the Nexus because of the huge variety of roms, like you said.

That might be the better option for you though cause the Xiaomi M2 isn't much smaller than the Nexus but the Nexus can have a lot more done with it. Plus it's always on top with the updates.

The first thing that came to my head was the SE Xperia X8. Even though it's quite an old device now, it's running on ICS and is a really stable and powerful phone for what it looks like.

HTC Rezound is always another choice aswell. It's got the ICS update and there's still quite a lot of dev support for the phone. It's got a dual core 1.5Ghz processor which means games like GTA 3 and Nova will rub perfectly well on the phone. Definitely a strong choice.

As far as Samsung go, the Samsung Nexus S fits the criteria you've asked for. It's just on the higher end of the budget, but considering your friend wants the latest on it, the Nexus S is ideal because it's running on JB and is a cracking little phone.

Out of those, I would suggest the Resound for all over performance and usage though.

Hope this helps :)

Hi all :)

I want to buy a bigscreen:)

And i am confused,what to buy tablet or ipad???

And if tablet then which one??

Tablet that i can carry easily and which have good specifications,hardware,and good dev support..

Pls guide me!
[General Questions and Answers] KidCarter93:
Even though the iPad is a powerful device, considering it's Apple, its price and fact that it can't be customized like Android can, knock it down in my opinion. But if you've had apple devices before, then iPad could be a good choice for you.

As far as android tablets go, if you're looking for a smaller tablet then the Nexus 7 is definitely worth looking at. It's brilliant what it can do for the price of it, and devs will be able to push it further anyway.

If you'd like a bigger screen, then there's the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime and Galaxy Note 10.1. They're the 2 bigger tabs I'd recommend because they've both had great reviews from friends of mine who have got them and they wouldn't look back at all.

[General Questions and Answers] KidCarter93:
Fair enough the Nexus doesn't have expandable memory, but in terms of power and future updates, it's quite far ahead.

The Tab 2 might not have the best hardware, but from my experience, it out-does them. Maybe because I didn't really push it to the limits.

Myself, and others say that iOS is not as custom as Android because it's true. To so anything extra on an idevice you have to be jailbroken. Whereas with Android, you can customize it big time without needing root, but then once rooted there's a ton more that can be done aswell. You can do more with android straight out the box.

Galaxy Note

Has anyone had a chance to preview a Galaxy Note? (Like at a trade show, developer conference, etc...)

I am thinking of the Note for my next device, particularly because of the stylus. I used to have an Acer tablet and LOVED being able to take handwritten notes on PDF's, documents, etc.... I have had one other tablet since (an HP) but it was pretty horrible trying to write on because it would frequently pick up your palm hitting the screen as a multitouch gesture and skip the writing around. I like being able to write naturally without having to hold the pen and not letting my hand touch the screen.

Will this be a problem with the Note? Most of the commercials and such I have seen, it looks to me like the people are purposely not writing naturally. I am hopeful this won't be a problem because I read Wacom made the Stylus and they are experts on the art / handwriting applications.
[General Questions and Answers] Saturny:

I somewhat agree with you. But some people like/love big phones and may even need them, otherwise they wouldn't sell. I have the S3, and to me, 4.8 is the "sweet spot". I came from a Motorola Defy, and it felt pretty small (I have big hands). Plus my dad was always complaining about it. My parents sometimes use my phone (mom's hands are small, dad's a little bigger than mine), so I needed a big phone that everyone can easily use & agree on. Now they love it.
