[General Questions and Answers] inconceeeivable:
Copied this from my thread that is apparently going to be closed.

Just made a huge mistake.

Sold my white GSM Gnex on XDA and picked up an international Note. Couple of problems with the Note...it lags terribly and the WiFi continuously downloads on my home network for no apparent reason, even after a factory reset. Other phones on the same network do not behave the same way.

In any case, I'm preparing to return the Note. What do I do next though? I've pretty much decided that I need Jelly Bean. I don't want a GS3 or Note II. I'd buy another Nexus, but I've heard there's a new one on the horizon, so I don't want to spend $350-400 on another phone with a 5MP camera.

Currently using an iPhone 3GS in the meantime. Help!

EDIT: Maybe looking at T-Mobile GS2? Need something cheap/decent until the new Nexus comes out.

Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 or 5.0.

4.0 seems to have a slightly nicer screen, but the 5.0 has a flash for the front camera, the 4.0 does not.

I own the 4.0 and I love it. I'd happily suggest it to anyone. Great device! :) :good:

Hello, Managed to sell a couple of my old devices and now I have around $120 lying around. What would you say is the best Tablet (Yes I know, the Nexus 7, Just looking for as many choices) or other cool tech.
[General Questions and Answers] Danney92:
Hello everybody,

Excuse me, for my bad english. Maybie it will not be perfect

I want to buy a tablet. So far so good. Only I am totally unsure of what I should buy me.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 rooted, custom rom So the full program. And I had a long time before Apple's iPhones and iPod Touch.

I have been following the threads on Android and iOS. So I know the pros and cons of Android and iOS.

Now I have of course, once the Apple iPad 3 wifi (I want the tablet for home) in the head. With me in the work (even authorized by Apple! Relatively wide range), I try it. It's awesome. Although the hardware is not top, and without jailbreaking the iPad is very close, but it just runs everything perfectly, and I in Android, sometimes significantly miss is the quality of the apps in each store.

But even with the Android manufacturers not or never sleeps.

Now there are dozens of different Android tablets, different expensive on each with different software or androidversion run etc. etc.

My favorite is only once (!) The Samsung Galaxy 10.1, which is only discourages me the low resolution of the display, I think for today's times, and for such a tablet too little. There are hardly any custom roms, and it is more expensive than the iPad 3 Wifi 16GB.

So now I need your help.

What should I take? an iPad 3 16 GB WiFi, or an Android tablet? If so, which Android tablet?

With Android tablets, it is important for me to have a 10-inch screen, which is open to custom ROMs, and it also has the best such a big Cummunity like the Galaxy S2.

What about the apps? There are many good apps for Android Tablets? Or because of the backing store still lags badly behind? The Apple App Store has really good apps, a quality that I miss sometimes in Android, and there are many apps that are designed to fit the iPad. There are many apps for Android tabs, and how is the quality?

The prices should be like the iPad 3 16 GB WiFi, or like the Samsung galaxy note to be 10.1.

As I said, I was also very "in love" with the iPad 3, and with me in the work (yes Apple are authorized), there are over next week, even 10% off on all Apple products.

I desperately need help / advice from you. With the iPad 3, everything is clear, but there are so many Android tablets ....

Thank you apologize in advance, Dani.

Okay, I've narrowed down to SGS3 Mini, Xperia S, SGSII. Not sure which to buy, been reading up on all 3 for quite a lot if time now. S2 is a little out of budget, but the other 2 are on the line. Is there any other, as good as these available? Or should I wait more for new models to come out? I'm buying a new phone in April.

Edit: Oh, and Xperia S doesn't have a removable battery, and no microSD slot, which is a let down. I have all my stuff on my SD. Is there a way to transfer it all to the phone? I'm a little confused. And does the non removable battery cause any problems of the phone hangs?

Thanks.

[General Questions and Answers] huston8:
of course, you can transfer it to the phone by usign a PC as an medium. Non removable battery is a trend nowadays and will not be a major problem I believe. Xperia S is much better of these 3 options....
[General Questions and Answers] Lt.Win:
Good! Then S2 is definitely out. Now these two remain. I went on vs. With their features, Mini has more pros than XS, but I'll still think.

[General Questions and Answers] donkerdoorn:
Hi crew, I hope someone can help me out on selecting my first android phone. My needs are pretty much based on tweak/hackability.

Some prequisites:

- It should be possible to install Ubuntu Mobile on it when it's released (preferably official)

-Ability to run custom roms based on the latest android version

-1,2 ghz or higher, 1gb ram or higher

-microSD slot

-decent camera, preferably 2 stage shutter

So, I've been browsing the forums to check active development.

My first choise would be Xperia Ion, best looking mid-priced android phone, but it's pretty niche and I'm afraid development will stop soon. Xperia T is nice too, but the design is a bit tacky. Will there still be and custom roms and tweaks or updates after 2 years?

Galaxy Nexus will be the first to get ubuntu, but it has no microSD slot.. and it's overpriced here due to scarcity.

Nexus 4, will it get Ubuntu Mobile like its predecessor?

Galaxy S3, it looks cheap and fragile but it has the most active development.

I am by no means a ubuntu fan, but I'd like a debian-based phone OS. Too bad my N900 broke and N9 isn't released here. :crying:

Thank you in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] sconrad308:
OK. I'm looking at coming back to Android soon. I will be on Straight Talk so I just need a GSM phone. I've been looking and researching and have basically narrowed my choices down to 3, Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Motorola Atix HD, and the HTC One X (international version). There are things I like about each of these and things I don't like. I know that the Nexus is running 4.2 will it be going to 5 as well? The Atrix HD will get 4.1 and that is probably all, the One X has 4.1 most places but I don't know about anything past that.

So, I would like suggestions and reasons why, also please correct me if I am wrong on any of this. If there is another phone to consider let me know and why it would be worth it. I'm wanting to stay under $400 or so and have all of these under that.
[General Questions and Answers] donkerdoorn:
You're looking at android versions. I could be wrong, but aren't most devices flashable with a custom rom based on the latest android version/build?
[General Questions and Answers] ayushbh:
hi how can i post in threads ??
[General Questions and Answers] sconrad308:
I was only adding in about about the different versions that they will have. You are right that for all of these there would be ROM's that I could install as well. I probably shouldn't have put that in there as that is mostly moot, but I would also like having upgrades if I don't flash a ROM onto the device. That is one thing I really like with the Nexus, it will have the latest software and I wouldn't have to anything to it if I don't want to.
[General Questions and Answers] donkerdoorn:
If you can, I would get the nexus. They always get the latest official version and they are priced sharp. It's so popular that it's sold out in most countries.
[General Questions and Answers] sconrad308:
The Galaxy Nexus I have been able to find and prices aren't all that bad, I wish the Nexus 4 was available from Google. The Nexus 4 on Ebay for the most part are running close to $500 or over. If they come back in stock at Google I will go that way, but I might get tired of waiting.
[General Questions and Answers] Lt.Win:
I've narrowed down to 2. SGS3 Mini and Xperia S. Don't need custom ROMs on either, and I'm not a camera guy. So, please help me choose. I usually go for a Sammy, but both have really good prices and hardly any difference in prices.

[General Questions and Answers] DylanKeyne:
Hi all,

I didn't find much from searching and there's no Wiki yet, hence asking here - I've read reviews from reviewers who've had one for a day, but what's the Motorola Flipout like to own, compared to a typical Slider form-factor like the HTC Desire Z?

I'm considering switching to a mobile phone separate from my Mini-PC rig, meaning I'll only need a small phone with basic functions and enough media-based features for occasional light use. Office functions would be nice, but really just a Notepad is essential. SMS, MMS and maybe push-email, but I very rarely need the internet while mobile. Watching the occasional film or playing tunes off the SD card.

So...

I've never used Android before - Does the Flipout support a recent enough version to use basic/common apps?

What's the unmodded Flipout like as a general phone?

Bearing in mind I'm not a massive fan of Blackberries, is this comparatively easy to type on?

Good battery life (ie lasts more than a day with 3G/WiFi/Bluetooth switched off)?

Plays the common format media (MP3, AVI, WMV, MP4) or a format that can be easily converted to?

Any common problems/issues?

Is it better to mod/flash ROM or leave unmodded, as far as performance and battery life goes?

Thanks all,

Dylan.
[General Questions and Answers] Mtman1:
Can I have a bit of help picking a phone?

What I want:

-Any brand

-Ships with android 4.1+ (android 4.0 would be OK, as long as there is good dev support)

-1ghz min

-16gb min

-under £250

Not a N4, as I cant find any cheap enough :mad:
[General Questions and Answers] Mtman1:
Been considering that, its just its around the same price as the n4 (£30 cheaper). I'll probably end up going with that anyway, unless I find a better phone :)
[General Questions and Answers] Wagierek:
Hi!

I'm wondering what phone should I buy. There are two of them in my head: Motorola Milestone 2 and Sony Xperia U.

I like playing mobile games, but I also text very much. Previously I had SE WT19i Live with Walkman and it was quite suitable for me, but small screen was really uncomfortable when I was texting long posts on discussion forums. Also screen resolution was too small and in some games e. g. Max Payne text was impossible to read. So the question is: will Milestone 2's hardware be suitable for games? Or maybe there's something other I could choose for around 450 pln (150 USD)?
[General Questions and Answers] maarbalazs:
I need some advice to pick my first tablet:

- Windows, iOS or Android?

I have been using Android phones in the last few years and I am absolutely satisfied. Does anyone have a good experience with Windows 8?

- Samsung, iPad or Nexus?

The price of Samsung pads and iPad is the same roughly but higher than Nexus, why shall I pick them?

Is there any reason no to go for a Nexus immediately?

thanks
[General Questions and Answers] ortrigger:
If you already know you like android, then stick with it. I personally would go for the nexus but your best bet is to try and test them yourself. That's the true test of what is best for you.

Hey guys,

I'm a graduate student who balances studies with work, so I want a phone that can last me more than 12 hours a day with moderate use, on Wi-Fi, no 3G. It's kind of frustrating having to hunt down a power outlet wherever I go. I've been set on a Galaxy Note 2 N7100 for a while now, mostly for the large screen and the stylus, but I also like the Galaxy S3. Which one of these should i go for? What other phones can you suggest? The phone needs to have Android 4.0 at least, a sizable screen (for reading all those research PDFs and work e-mails!) and external SD card expansion (for even more PDFs!).

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] ortrigger:
Note 2 will definitely get the job done. You may want to look into the razr maxx hd also if your carrier has them. They may be vzw only. Idk for sure.

Here, the Ion is just 1k costlier than the S. I feel its better. Anyone to differ? Or should I go for ion? I don't really care about ROMs on it, and it has awesome features. 16gb is way more than enough. So, any input will be thanked using the button. :)

[General Questions and Answers] donkerdoorn:
I'm in the same doubt. The Ion has a bigger screen and a much better design (not an ugly brick at the bottom). On the other hand S has better battery capacity and the ability to have a boot menu installed, and also AOSP support from Google (discontinued.)
[General Questions and Answers] Lt.Win:
I think we should go for the S because it has good dev support. Not really needing custom ROMs till warranty ends, so yeah.

[General Questions and Answers] Lt.Win:
Went to a nearby store. Tried XS, X Ion and S2. None if them fit in my hand :p

Looks like S III Mini is back. Seriously, I need something that fits my hand. S2 and XS are a bit of a struggle, but X Ion is too big. I'll probably do a versus of XS and Mini, and I'll think hard on both though. XS's features at the same price are a good competition to the Mini, definitely. I suggest anyone looking for a Mid-Ranger to look at both. I am personally alright with 8GB. Heck, 4GB internal is just fine, darn it!

I'll update the post soon with a versus.

I seriously recommend you buy the S3 Mini.

You have been rooting for that device since the very beginning.

So even if you buy something else, even the slightest of error or discomfort will seem big considering you wanted to buy a S3 Mini.

Also frankly as a phone should be, it is enough powerful!

I have no idea which one I want.....

I just recently started a new job where I have the option of AT&T or Verizon thru the company any phone I want. I currently am using the Motorola MB865 Atrix 2 Android 4.0.4. I love my Atrix 2 I flashed CM7 sometime ago before the ICS leak came out but I flashed Verizons CM7 by accident so the phone was a useless paperweight for games until I finally found the way to flash it back stock (thanks to searching in xda-developers) and dealt with 2.3.6 until the leak came out a few months later. I've been investigating my stores Samsung Galaxy S III but it's not growing on me much. Neither is the ATRIX HD.........IDK I like the fact that both of them are noticeably faster and clearer than the Atrix 2 and some of the extra functions are great NFC is awesome (S III) but the incredible picture on the ATRIX HD is a plus too. Which one?

BTW....I will root whichever one I get so it's also which one has better ROMS that will still allow me to use my phone?
[General Questions and Answers] NHS2008:
Galaxy s iii hands down has better ROMs and has greater support. Motorola probably has locked boot loader which will limit the development of ROMs for it. Rest it up to your personal preference.

New To Android Developing

Hey everyone, noob here. Hope I'm posting in the correct thread, :fingers-crossed: ...if not, I'm sorry.

I just recently got a Samsung Note II for Christmas, it's my first smart phone and I love it. I'm interested in learning app development, and general Android moding, and I'm looking for a less expensive phone that I could root and mess with without ending up with a $300 paper weight.

I'm looking for a cheap phone. No more than $100. I just need something for a noob to mess around with, preferably as new as possible. I'm already a fan of Samsung, is the Samsung Galaxy Stellar good enough?
