Looking for suggestion for new Sprint phone. Currently have a Note 4 and pretty fed up with the terrible reception. I like almost everything about it expect that.

What I'm wanting is...

5.2-5.7" screen

Decent camera

prefer removable battery

expandable storage

QC 2.0

Good reception of course.

Considering a LG G4 and Nexus 6. I know both new stuff in the works. Just wondering if I should wait it out for a month and see what happens? G4 seems to be decent priced for a new phone.

[MENTION=4681172]djstammo[/MENTION] - thanks for the great tip, can't understand why manufacturers don't make the effort to say clearly how tough their glass is, I thought Gorilla Glass was the only option out there, I will be taking another look at these phones and maybe some others but a quick check back on Sony site for the Z3 and I can't find any mention of it and there are some questions on XDA that suggests Sony use both? types on the Z3.....
[General Questions and Answers] shiboby:
I need to decide between the LG G4 and the Oneplus 2 today. The shipping is so much in my country for the OP2, that the G4 is the same price. I really like the expandable memory and battery life of the G4, but the Oneplus has a great processor and lots of development. So I'm interested to know what you like and don't like about the G4. What should I know about the phone in considering it? There isn't much ROM or Kernel development from what I see here, how do you like what is available? How easy is it to root compared to Samsung, HTC, and Oneplus? How customizable is it? Can you simply OV/UC? What esle should I know?

Cheap Chinese Android phones

Hi guys!

What do you think about cheap Chinese Android mobile phones with capacitive screen?

I have an important question about the IMEI these phones have. It is the same for all? they have "cloned" or "generic" IMEI´s?

Will it work in Europe?

Thanks!

S2 X or the new nexus 4 ?

I have to decide if I should by, for the exact same price new (about $375 with tax) either of these two phones,

-Both have a 1.5 gig processor

the nexus has more memory and a better processor but not sure I need it

the nexus has a better screen

the SSx seems like it might withstand more abuse

I don't need the latest OS so much as I need wordpress and other apps for work

I don't like the idea of not being able to switch batteries or SD cards

I don't care about wireless charging, 4g

I want the product that will last the longest, I have was just about to buy this SSG2x(canadian koodo version with 1.5 processor and HSPA+)

But now I am losing sleep... help me decide. ( don't want to end up with a LG that is overheating and in the trash in 12 months.)

++ I am leaving on a trip at the end of NOV and want my phone maybe the Nexus won't be in the mail in Canada before then, i tworries me.

1. Gallaxy S2 x

or

Nexus 4

Both will be new, and the same price, I could pick up the S2 new instore and unlock it for the same price as this new Nexus,

I am think the S2 because, I can get it quicker, I would have 32 gigs storage with the SD card I got, but mostly it seems like a better built phone, samsung rather than LG, even tho the specs are better on the Nexus 4 I am thinking I would still find teh S2x a better phone in the long run.

Would the screen resolution or other things really be an improvement ?

Thanks Guys.. having trouble deciding, I dont' need the latest everything, the S2 seems like crazy good phone, and nexus but maybe I am rough on phones and don't like a case, thinking the LG is being build cheaper than the S2 was.

I'm pretty sure there's a infinity 3g even an infinity LTE if I recall.

The nexus 10 does have the better specsheet but the infinity is the more "solid" tablet when it comes to materials,not to say the nexus is flimsy,not at all.

Personally, I like the nexus 10. You can tell Google put thought into it. If you can survive without 3G then wait for November 13th. The tablet is good value.

You have to seperate LG from Google on this one.Think of it like Apple hiring foxconn. Foxconn's own products a cheap budget stuff but the iPhone isn't.

I'd get the nexus just for the screen. There's a difference. It is worth it.

[General Questions and Answers] blendobass:
thanks

Well, it isn't just that, I was just about to go pick up the SSGS2 x in store today, and now I see this nexus, I think either will be a huge step up from blackberry, but with my BB i am used to all sorts of abuse with no effect, including running over with car, I use my device as a boat and hicking GPS, a backpacking computer in all sorts of condidions, SKype... I don't play games but I use wordpress app and other buisness stuff.

Other than a slighly better screen, I can't see what the newer phone will do for me, I want this phone for at least 2 years, and the SSG2x seems to have proven itself over time like an older toyota compare with the newer, for basic users that need a good phone the gallaxy seems like it is still near the top.

I've found it. Infinity has 2 versions - TF700T, with Wi-Fi only and quadcore Tegra 3 @1,6GHz, and TF700KL, with both 3G/4G, but with dualcore Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 @ 1,5-1,7 GHz.

I would buy TF700KL if I could find it anywhere... Much more harder to buy, it's not even listed on asus official pages. Does this dualcore make him any worse?

Looking for Large Android Tablet for <£200

Hi,

The story is that at christmas I want to get my daughter an android tablet and while the nexus 7 is amazing, at 7" its just too small.

I want something for her that is at least 9" and has decent specs, preferably something that competes with Tegra 2.

Catch is, not wanting to spend a fortune, so are there any cheap ones that people would recommend?

Thanks in advance guys!
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
Better innards last longer. People are still happily toting the nexus s.The nexus will age gracefully and google will support it for ages. Can't say the same for samsung. Maybe you don't need software updates,but for the same price,buying an older product just isn't sound

.You could argue storage,but I've met very few people with mountains of stuff in their phones. 9/10 it's an insanely large music collection. Functional stuff never hits 4GB.

Nope, the s4 chip keeps up with tegra 3.You're right though, it is rare.

Not really,there's Huawei Mediapad. Nexus 7 3G. Toshiba Thrive too I think.

[General Questions and Answers] Essenar:
Ahh, you're considering Chinese tablets. I've been researching them actually.

The Allwinner A10 is kind of a mediocre chip at this point. If you're considering Chinese tablets, the Rockchip RK3066 processor is currently the top dog, although the Amlogic AM8726-MX has more support from titles.

This one has a better processor:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ramos-W22Pr...1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1352441818&sr=1-3

It's a Ramos, which is a pretty supported tablet on Tablet Republic. It has the dual core Mali-400 which performs better in games. The processor is about 10% slower than a Tegra 3 which is quite impressive.

This YuanDao N90 has the Rockchip processor which is even faster than the AM8726-MX:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/YuanDao-N90...13?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1352441951&sr=1-13

Most of the others have quality control issues, a manual that isn't that useful. The Ramos was the most recommended brand to me so I'd say go with that.

---------- Post added at 10:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 PM ----------

Because you're considering the Lumia 920, I take it you're with AT&T?

If you are, the Razr MAXX HD is out of the question as it's a Verizon device.

Galaxy Note 2: Battery life is 'acceptable', but if you want iPhone 4 battery life, you're going to want to pick up an extended battery.

Galaxy S3: Same problem, however the S3 is the bee's knees right now. Dev support is unquestionable. The device really has probably at minimum, double the development support of any other device and in some cases triple to quadruple the support. Almost everyone has it. Accessories are easy to come by. An extended battery will not set you back more than $25.

Windows 8 is a gamble, don't listen to reviewers. They're paid/subsidized to review the OS from a marketing standpoint. Windows 8 is very legit but it's jumping into a dog fight as a puppy so we really need at least another two quarters to see how it develops and grows. I wouldn't pick up a Windows 8 phone until probably late 2013.

Nexus 4: Great device, mighty powerful, no LTE and smaller screen. The real estate you get with a Galaxy S3 and Note 2 is VASTLY larger than the Nexus 4. I would put the Nexus 4 processing power in between the S3 and the Note 2.

Reading books on the S3 was enough of a chore for me to say that the Nexus 4 is probably not a good bet for you. I have relatively good vision and I didn't consider the S3 to be ideal for reading books. That said, I think the Note 2 is for you. It has a quad core processor, a much larger screen, includes a stylus, it will have a lot of development support, TouchWiz has really matured in the last year and a lot of people consider it a great daily driver. In about 3 weeks, you'll probably see a lot of good extended batteries for cheap that will enhance the battery life.

So: Galaxy Note 2, you won't regret it.

If it anything like my old LG g2 d802.

The factory software will drive you in to a deep depression and the development scene is a form of torture.

Locked bootloaders bodge solutions and endless things broken was just a way of life.

Then I got a one plus one and it was like night and day.

Taking the liberty of assuming that if you are participating on XDA, bad ROMs and development will slowly kill you.

For me 64gb of storage and 3000+ ah battery is plenty.

Here is the link to Wiki about Dragontrail and on what phones it is used.

Some users say that Dragontrail is a bit soft than Gorilla Glass, that's why they suggest to use additional screen guard. I don't like protective cases and additional screen guards, but even with my HTC M8 Gorilla Glass is taking small scratches after long period of time and I truly use it safe not to get scratches. So now I recommend to use screen protective even with Gorilla Glass.

After looking for the following specs and going for an older a generation than i was originally looking at the best i can seem to find is the Xiaomi Mi3 Snapdragon 800 Quad-core 2.3GHz 2GB RAM 64GB ROM from ibuygou's EU Direct store for £149.82 ($229.99) would this be any good for gaming? Xioami as far as i can see support root under their warranty by offering a Developer Version of their original ROM which is great for me rooting, shame about no micro sd but 64gb isn't too bad! Does this seem like a good deal / best in budget for gaming + features i'm looking for? Thankfully offering it in their EU store means no hidden taxes for me (UK) :good:

Anyone had any experiences with that company too? good or bad!? Cheers :)

Dillemma for a Tablet!

Well now that i am in the right thread let me ask :D I want to buy a Tablet pretty soon and i am amongst 2 of Samsung's Tab 4 T533 or Tab A T550. I need a Tablet which can be rooted for sure cause i'll need to install X Mod to this Tablet. So i think i saw that Tab A is already rootable (not sure though). From the other hand i think that Tab 4 is certainly better.. So you know anything about when Tab 4 will be rootable? Or should i just go for Tab A which is already rootable (i think).. Thanks for your time again guys and really hope to get an answer from you soon.

The snap dragon will be more developed but that is even if you can unlock the bootloader. Samsung has been locking their devices down hard core soon I will leave this statement.

If you want a Samsung device then get used to stock TouchWiz or be willing to lose your warranty and lose gimmicks I mean features.

Just because there are lollipop ROMs in the development section doesn't guarantee a good result. Take the lg g2 for example. Yes there are lollipop cm based ROMs available (5.0.2 & 5.1.1) but you had better get used to disappointment. VoIP calling is broken (Skype,Viber,etc) and on 5.1.1 people are still trying to get double tap to wake to work and that is for the most popular international model.

Hey all, I'm looking for a recommendation.

So far I had the samsung S3, and I was (somewhat) happy with it - the community was amazing and it was still being very actively developed, I loved toying around with it and it actually worked quite well. Until the screen decided it's about time to replace...

I'm looking for an android - it doesn't have to be top notch in quality or the latest, but I REALLY want an active community around it. I was mainly looking at the LG G3, HTC M8 and OnePlus One, but I'm really open to any suggestions (Except Samsung. Had it enough with them). I was merely browsing through their forums and only the OPO seems to be active, and even then - less than the s3 was.

My ideal phone, besides having good development and an active community, would not be huge in size (nexux6 was removed for that reason).

Thanks for suggestions!!

Hello to all, lollipop on my note 3 was a disaster! I refer to GPS and WIFI, WIFI forget networks and the GPS does not find hardly ever the right position. So at this point I decided to change smartphone because I don't have free time and I have no intention of doing "modding". It must clearly be a smartphone than this, if I have to take something worse prefer to keep mine. The minimum requirements are: minimum display 5.2 ", expandable memory, minimum 3/4gb ram and a battery of at least 3000mah. The improvements compared to my current phone will be either: a better camera, a better GPS and a good display that you see very well in the sun.

PS: no iphone and no Smartphone that costing more than €400.
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
OnePlus One would be an excellent choice. I love mine. Great battery life, the 1080p screen is more than enough sharp with great color reproduction, very loud speaker, decent camera. In every way, it's basically a Nexus 5.5, just not commissioned by Google. Rooting/flashing is as easy as can be, and you have the benefit of choosing from 4.4KK and 5.1LP ROMs (i've stuck with LiquidSmooth KK).

You may wish to wait for the new Nexuses to come out though. The Nexus 5X (made by LG) is looking very nice indeed (as is the Huawei, but that might be too big for you).

need recommendation of a new Android phone, rootable, At&t.

Hello everyone,

I come here to read posts about rooting phones and sometimes about different apps on the market and I finally decided to create an account to ask questions.

I'm pretty sure this has been asked before, but I just don't have the time to read every thread, and I do apologize ahead of time. If you can provide a link to a specific thread or shoot me a private message to answer my question then that would be greatly appreciated.

As the title states, I'm in need of a new Android phone as my current phone (galaxy s3) is giving me too many problems due to the charging port unable to charge my phone. :( I'm currently with At&t and given I've upgraded to the Galaxy Note 4 just recently, and had to return the phone because it was faulty (thank goodness for that since I just learned about knox and rooting conflicts).

Because I'm with At&t, and the fact that Samsung had broken my heart with their latest devices given no removable battery, SD card slot and whatnot, I'm wondering if any of you know of an Android (not a fan of Apple at all) phone that is 100% rootable on the AT&T market today? Reason I requested for a rootable phone is because I still use apps (like Titanium backup) that require root. At this point, branding doesn't matter to me, but I do prefer to have a big phone. I plan to use the phone mostly for gaming / calling, with some casual emails and social media. I learned my lesson about not doing my research before deciding on a phone, yet my brain is pretty much too tired / lazy to learn of tech terms out there. If my S3 wasn't giving me so many problems, I would mind sticking to it, but because it's coming to a point where it's time to move on, I'll keep looking for that potential phone.

Thanks to anyone who is willing to help.
