Living in India are you able to get your hands on a S4 1.5Ghz HTC One S?

If yes, look no further.

Also SGS2+ <<<<<< SGS2

Samsung has just rebranded the original so that people shying from buying a 2 year old device would buy it if re launched.

Instead get the original coz it has a huge dev support whereas the SGS2+ might or might not get anything!

Do you lot think that by the end of February, the price of the Nexus 10 will go down to something around the current price of the Nexus 7? If not, then, assuming that I CAN buy the Nexus 10 but the Nexus 7 is far closer to my budget than the former, which one should I buy? Mind you, I am not buying anything before late February or early March.
[General Questions and Answers] vj_dustin:
In any case IMO a 7' tablet is more than enough.

A 10' tablet feels way too big to use around (tried it in a store nearby).

So you should visit a store near you, take them in hand and decide coz on a spec sheet basis both pack a punch!

for USA T-mo

OK I would really like your input here: I am shopping handsets actively - I have an older Optimus T, and a Nexus 7, and I use T-mobile.

I use their el cheapo prepaid plan as I hate contracts. Month to month strictly.

I DO USE the excellent WIFI Calling feature of T-mo and it works splendidly in my home office, where cell coverage is virtually non-existent.

Therefore, unfortunately, Custom ROM's thus far are of little use to me since none correctly implement wifi calling for T-mobile accounts.

I root devices and remove/add what I like and go from there.

so that all said, I'm thinking of fairly modest expenditure - I will buy a handset likely off Ebay though maybe from some other source, and the two I'm leaning toward are quite different:

- Original Tmobile version Galaxy Note. These, in top condition, can be had here for about $330 USD

- New LG L9 for $199 brand new, or less

I'm leaning pretty hard to the Note because if I don't try a "in-betweener" phablet device like that, I'll just be swapping out handsets again in a couple of months.

What other devices should I be considering that can be had for this price range? I thought about Galaxy Nexus [older device but good] but I don't believe there is a version or ROM of that one that can do Tmo WIFI calling.

thx

Looking to replace my Thunder "Fail" Bolt in mid February. I had been planning on waiting for the Galaxy all through 2012, but I don't feel like waiting any longer. If, by the grace of God, the M7 comes out before then, it would be a pretty obvious choice. Anyway, my contract is up, I really don't have a money issue. I have verizon and a 32GB Nexus 7 (Wifi). For those of you who don't know anything about the thunderbolt... On 4g, the battery almost lasts long enough to take a ****.

Anyway, thanks for the help!!!

Thunder "Fail" Bolt

I purchased the ThunderBolt when it was first released, I loved it, I really enjoyed updating and changing ROMs and Radios, yes I did usually have it plugged in either at home or in the car and it was just fine. I also had an external battery that I could hook up that would drop a quick charge in it and I also carried an extra battery.

Now comes the Samsung Galaxy Note II - Love Love Love it...I have been running the JellyBean ROMS we are now on version 6, the phone is amazing, fast beautiful display and no energy problems. I put it in docking station at night and use it as a night clock in the morning I remove it and use it heavily all day long, I usually retire around 11PM and my day starts at about 5:30AM. I never have to plug the phone in to the car charger or the house charger and I still have plenty of power at the end of the day, I use the Google mapping and directions program and the phone and on the internet quite a bit. This is a wonderful phone and I highly recommend it to anyone. At first it seemed a little large, but I would never go back to the smaller format. I live in Southeast Michigan and we are always on 4G, at home I also connect to my wireless network.

Thanks for reading my reply!

[General Questions and Answers] nikufellow:
slow or virtally non existent development - its relatively new yet i can't help but point out that still no recoveries , kernels or even counter reset methods .

weaker mali400 gpu - most games turn out to incompatible see the s3 mini forums for more info .

2 years old galaxy s2 still better value for money imo.

well can't you import it :confused: galaxy nexus is an oldie but still worth buying especially since you might have heard of stuff like ubuntu phone os officially supporting nexus and all . about storage 16gb ain't enough by todays standards but it bearable and depends on your usage patterns so you would have to figure it out ;)

---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------

what functions are referring to . Anyway in general i don't think that a nex could re place your laptop (though its subjective and depends on your type of work).
[General Questions and Answers] nikufellow:
well nexus for updates is a fairly tiring argument these days (not being offensive). You know even with pelthora of devices to manage Sammy still pushes out updates in a seemingly fair enough time frame . Check out gsmarena shoot out between s3 and nexus 4 they go as far as saying that though s3 doesn't run on android version 4.2- its premium suit outweighs the improvements Google made with 4.2 !

imo note 2 will be a better choice for ya they are both (s3 and note) priced close here .
[General Questions and Answers] nikufellow:
anyway it would be better for you to wait for s4 announcement as its relatively close - and s3 will definitely have a price drop by then

Hi all, please help me make a decision. I am developeing aswell, so i have no problem to understand what i am writing now.. By the way i just can't decide if i want to replace my Lg Optimus 4X with a HTC One S(S3 proc).

I had never played any games on phones. In paper, tegra3 should be a lot lot stronger than Snapdragon S3, but when i hold the 2 phones in my hand, the HTC 2-3x faster than lg.... htc never thinking, lg start thinkik 1-2 seconds at wake-ups, and in lg i can't do that fast activity switches than in htc.

Simply don't understand. Hurt to give up HD IPS to an amoled qHD, and hurt to give up Tegra3, but if htc faster then what to do?

Jep, and the QUALITY, htc is massive quality phone, with good incall sound quality, and with a lot better camera.

What you think guys? Thanks.

^geek inside me is pushing to tell you - 'go for 4x tegra3 will be relatively more future proof' whilst somethin else inside is of the opinion that i must tell ya - 'don't go by popular opinion , its your call , a smartphone is one of the most personal things you'd probably own - so the decision you take based on the time you've spent with either of them can't go wrong' ;)

Is Motorola still continuing operations in Pakistan? If so, I'll go for Atrix 2!

[General Questions and Answers] NHS2008:
Motorola have ceased there operations in India (And whole Asia Pacific I believe) but in India they will continue to provide support for their phones till the warranty is valid. you can try calling the Moto service centre in your region and confirm the same.

EDIT:

Both have brilliant Dev support but with Atrix 2, the bootloader is locked which limits the level of developement for it.

With Samsung you get an unlocked bootloader so it will have greater custom roms and support.

[General Questions and Answers] InfraBlueAndroid:
Is there a reason for that? My Pico runs CM9 and it was developed from 2.3.5.

+ the person who said SGS Advance would have dev support when it's on JB

I read this (copy paste) :

"Being a Samsung phone, the Galaxy S Advance is relatively developer-friendly. ODIN mode allows you to flash custom ROMs packaged up in Samsung’s approved format, and it’s possible to root the device relatively easily. However given the wealth of other mid-range Samsung phones, as well as the Advance’s unusual CPU, we’d be surprised to see much interest from developers. So your hacking exploits may be limited to running rooted apps, as opposed to flashing whole new ROMs."
