[General Questions and Answers] impactor:
I had HTC Desire for nearly 3 years, and it is a great phone, but I think it is time to upgrade, because:

- it is annoyingly slow with my regular set of programs installed, even on fastest available roms

- it doesn't have kernel 3.0, and because of that JB roms have shortcomings

- a little bit too small screen for GPS navigation

- really crappy camera

- somewhat short battery life

Some time ago I had a chance to look at Galaxy S2 in person and it looked like a perfect phone (at least for 2 minutes I had it in my hands).

Somewhat bigger screen, more internal storage, kernel 3.0.

I use custom roms, so big development community is important for me. I have been spoiled by Desire as it (still) has a large one.

Galaxy S2 would cost me around 170-200 euro to get it.

Should I take that, or look for something else in this price range?

My requirements:

- larger screen (not necessarily much larger)

- android (duh)

- solid build quality

- large development community

- noticeably faster CPU than Desire (Dual+ core would come in handy)

- microUSB

- good/very good camera

- good battery life

- price up to 200 euro (used)

- would be nice if it had FM transmitter (not receiver) but it is not necessary

- it must by BLACK or therebout

I am thinking of getting the LG G2, but it will be my first LG device, the thing am most scared of and always was, is the UI, i think it is a rubbish copy of samsung UI (which IMO is ugly,no offence) which LG has made it worse. I hate the color scheme. So shld i make the shoot and try it? BTW does it has similar UI like the G Pro ?

[General Questions and Answers] vj_dustin:
Congrats!

It sure is.

S2 is a great phone (100%, since I bought one few months back)

But S4 is a league apart.

But it won't fall under your specified budget most probably.

If you hate the colors, there isn't much to do without root.

But for the UI, just install a launcher from the market. It shouldn't bother your buying decision.

As for the UI close up, watch a youtube video for the phone.

You'll get the details. Also if possible just visit a store and fiddle a bit.

hi guys i own a One S and i want to upgrade to another 4.3 inch device with a Three button layout

and its seems i cant find any company the makes phones with those specs

HTC has gone with the awkward two button lay out :/

im currently looking at the HTC first

basically an AOSP build with LTE and a great sturdy build

but lack of future updates and an almost dead dev section it doesn't look that good

what im looking for basically is a 4.3 inch phone, three button layout and an active dev community

if non exists

are there any news about upcoming 4.3 phones ?

S4 mini.
[General Questions and Answers] phazer11:
Well price isn't the real issue here it's that I want to keep my carrier AT&T. I need to renew my contract anyways so I can get a Samsung Galaxy S4 for $199.99 or a Nokia Lumia 1020 for $299.99. As I said before I'm leaning towards the S4 because it's Android which I'm familiar with an know I'll be able to trick it out once I get it rooted. Lumia on the other hand is Windows 8 Mobile so idk.

Pretty much anything on AT&T's site is an option (except the atrocity that is the iPhone series) I could also get an unlocked phone I suppose but it'd have to be less than $600-700 or so.

Of course I'd like a good camera and decent sized screen. I'm a photo and video nut so nothing under 10MP will do. Of course, MP rating isn't everything the lens is important as well and just a high MP rating doesn't mean anything. Thought the Lumia's 41MP camera is supposed to be pretty darn good from what I've heard from a couple friends.
[General Questions and Answers] K3n H1mur4:
Nothing amazing on the 4.3" range, maybe HTC One Mini suites your needs. Another option is Xiaomi Mi2, though those are a bit hard to get and IDK about its community support (it comes stock with MIUI, which is based on CM, so maube there's hope). I think it's the best 4.3" device available.

S3 had this fame of amazing camera, S4 should be up to it, too. If you can wait some time, XPeria Z1 (Honami) will be out in a few days/weeks, with a top-notch camera, probably the best one ever put in an Android phone, but obviously it'll take some time to get a nice dev community, like any new phone.

GS4 is a sweet handset

---------- Post added at 11:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 PM ----------

I'm posting around to get 10 posts. so I can, give my advice on infamous's Alpha S4 rom and bioshock kernal I'm running right now

I'd recommend the GS4 with this ROM and Kernal if you are on AT&T. The 3minit framework is AMAZING. it's like a theme kitchen in a settings menu app. Chance all your themes, colors fonts ect. check out the changelog.

I'd perfer a Rom based off T-mobile, or porting the wifi calls feature. But I doubt it will happen on any ATT based rom. (im a tmobile customer)

this rom has the kernals and installs for both ATT and Tmobile versions.

save some money and don't get the NEXUS. Don't need it. the GS4 has it all. Just get the 13mpx camera one. unless you want an 8mpx camera an water resistant phone..

I'm sure lots of other people will agree get the GS4.

Desire 500??

My HTC Desire S is coming up for an upgrade after two years. It's been a great phone, very much the decent but middle range phone for most of the time i've owned it. The missus now has an HTC One X which is great if a little big.

I'm totally lost with all the new phones. I'm not over keen on the Samsung Galaxy's although I'm not totally sure why. I'm not keen on the HTC One metal body either - doesn't feel too nice. The mini is no better and has only 16GB of unexpandable memory (daft idea). In fact there are few phones with decent memory or a card slot to expand it.

I really wanted to try an HTC One X+ but they just aren't being offered on contracts anymore, odd since they are a flagship phone from only 6 months ago! I'm a bit lost. Anyway, I've seen a bit on a new HTC called the Desire 500. It seems a good middle range phone, sense 5 and it has a card slot. Would the One X or One X+ be a better phone?

Any suggestions? I've never used an android phone without sense so I've no idea what I'd be missing or gaining.

[General Questions and Answers] FernBch:
I am nearing the end of my contract with Sprint and because they don't have local service I am going to Verizon, so I have a couple questions.

First. I have always liked Motorola devices. They seem to have the best reception and physical build. Do any of the current Moto phones still have an unlockable bootloader? As with my previous device (Photon 4G), it will only be a matter of days before I will unlock, root, install a custom recovery, and flash a custom ROM. Are there any recommendations or things to look out for?

Second is battery life and features. What is good as far as Moto is concerned?

And finally. I have been eyeing the Samsung Galaxy S4. Is it a good device? The main thing for me is reception and I have heard that Samsung's radios are not always the best. A phone that has a great camera and is very customizable by different ROMs doesn't mean a whole lot when reception is poor when you are in an area where coverage is excellent.

Also, is the bootloader on the GS3 or GS4 unlockable? Whatever I wind up with I really would like to run Cyanogenmod on it and not being able to do so could really be a deal breaker for any device.

So lets have it. What does everyone suggest?

From personal experience I can tell you that even though the Xperia S can be a good phone, it has also had a lot of problems and doesn't have much development.

The original Galaxy Tab 7 will do native voice, as will the Dell Streak 7 with a simple hack, from memory (check first). Finding an AWS Tab 7 may be difficult, also I think the model is P1000, be careful as you want the older original one, not a Tab 2 7.0 or Tab Plus 7.0.

I used a P1000 for ages as a phone. You get a few weird looks, but it works well and typing is an absolute dream.

Hi guys,

I own a Desire HD bought at day 1. This phone, together with many custom ROMS i have tried, has never failed me...a really solid device in every sense of the word.

But now, i need some change! And by that I mean I want to change my DHD with a WP7 device (possibily not adding single dime...to $200). Obviously first thing I did was checking what relatively cheap WP7 devices were the most "supported" by the xda community but i am finding an hard time choosing one of them.

I always liked Nokia phones and i owned some of them a while ago. Should i go for a Lumia?? Or maybe a used HTC Radar? Or maybe just the go for an HD7

My little list of requirements (not strictly to be followed):

What i care about:

1)OK specs (just the minimum to have a decent fluid device. Nobody likes a slow phone)

2)Screen as big as possible (> 3,5")

3)Possibly white

4)Supported by XDA (meaning there is a fair amount of maintained custom roms to keep the device up to date and enhance its performance)

5)Screen should be scratch resistant.

What i DO NOT care about:

1)Camera...just want average quality

2)Storage...no need to have plenty of GBs...8 is fine! (tho micro sd option would be nice)

Probably there is nothing like that within 200$ but suggest me anyways :)

Thank you!

First Post on XDA YAY

So this is my first post on XDA (Ive hovered around and used this site many times, just now making an account :D )

So..ignoring the noob stuff... Ill soon be getting on Verizon Wireless. I hear a lot about them being expensive and all but I'm military so I can get on board with them and have 6gb of data for about $100 a month with a smartphone so to me its a steal. Verizon in my experience is the best wireless provider reception wise. I know that in many places AT&T or T-Mobile can be just as good (if not better) but I travel to Maine very often (you know that last state at the top of New England? XD ) and no company is better then Verizon there.

I currently have an LQ Optimus Q (LG L55C) running AreaROM Q v2.1 which is a rom of Android version 2.3.4 GB. It uses Sprints network and while good for most things you'd need a smartphone for, its specs, network speed, and reception leave a lot to be desired. So really almost any smartphone is an upgrade to me.

More to the point I love Android but its occasional stability problems and lag is starting to get on my nerves. Not too mention how every Android phone has different access to Google Play then another (im speaking in general terms). So the 3 phones I have been interested in on Verizon are the upcoming Droid RAZR Maxx HD, Nokia Lumia 920 (or the Ativ S but I hear Samsung's radios aren't very powerful and get less reception then Motorola's in fringe areas) and the Samsung Galaxy S3.

Like I said I hear about Samsung's radio quality sucking quite often while Motorola's is excellent. So what Android phone is better, keeping in mind I love the battery size of Maxx's? Or are the new Windows 8 phones gearing up to be really impressive? I use all Windows devices (Zune, Xbox, PC). Love to get some advice, even though I do my research and Im by no means a tech noob.

Sorry if post is really long. I like to be descriptive to make sure people know where I stand, and its been a long time since Ive been on a forum. Thanks :)

Nexus 7 vs Samsung Galaxy Tab2 7"

Hey XDA!

I wish this month, no later than December 1 (ie 30 November) to buy me a tablet.

The principal went on tablets that are good in terms of quality / price, and I found only two .. which is 7.0 P3110 Samsung Galaxy tab2 and Nexus 7.

For me, a tablet is a portable device that I can play (mostly).

Budget tablets can be inferred from the two mentioned above (about 250 euros).

I took them for quality you can give me. How do I know assume that you know the differences between the two .. now put the question on a specialized website for that! So not only can I say that Nexus 7 has no SD card slot, and Samsung's camera is on back.

I want to make a good choice, both liking much, but I want something that will last in time .. ie I do not have 1-2 years to buy anything just seeing them go to my friend's new phone games, per tablet .. and I do not even support something like this (I say) to have lag!

On Nexus 7 does not believe a experiencing any lag time soon, but do not know what to say about Galaxy tab2.

Therefore I want to know the following from you:

What do you think tablet should I buy?

What say you like it better? What is the best of both screen and you believe not experiencing lag in at least 1-2 years?

Samsung tab2 deserves just because he has slod SD and back room, or go on Nexus 7 because it has quad-core and Tegra 3?

Thanks in advance and excuse my English!

Outdating the previous model is the essence of technology.

So obviously they'll be outdated by the end of the year maybe.

But both S4 or HTC One are great models with at least 2 year guaranteed support. So it'll be wise to get anyone.

Or as mentioned you can wait for the Note 3 if you want a phone with the "Latest" tag.
