I agree with your later points but as far as ZTE, could you point me to a specific model? Looking for CM14.1 availability, removal battery, SD card and GSM compatible with a $200 budget!
[General Questions and Answers] SofaSpud:
Have you considered a G3? It's very similar to the G4. Most G4 reviews by established sites such as cnet.com always mention that the G4 is too much like the G3. Battery life is a little weak, but with some tweaking and care in not running the lcd @ full brightness, can be made substantially better.

BTW, t-mobile devices can be used with AT&T.

Hello, how are you?

So, after owning my galaxy Note since April, I've got fed up with toichwiz and flashed CM10 preview. I really like the aosp feel of android.

After living with my note for some time, I really like the screen, the colour and the size.

What I have come to dislike is the general size of the device. At times, when put of the house or the office I wish for a smaller, more practical device to handle with one hand and to take pictures with. The note is just a bit clumsy at times.

So, a couple of days ago a sweet deal came IP and I picked a galaxy nexus.

I now have both devices. My goal was to test them for a few days and then sell the one I liked less...

The thing is I cannot make up my mind.

The nexus is really smooth, excellent os performance and great handling. Mich more practical. The thing is it does not have the note screen. I thing I kind of got hooked on the note screen and am finding hard to let go.

So, in your opinion, which phone should I keep and why?

Hope you can help me to make a decision.

Cheers

New Purchase :: Nexus 7 or TF700

Hi Everyone,

So I ripped this from another thread I started after being told this one now exists: my bad.

Anyway I have had my eye on the TF700 for quite a while then the nexus 7 was released though I am still leaning in the direction of the TF700 but I want to get other peoples opinions on the matter, especially from anyone who has had a chance to use both. So please if anyone has experiance with two device I would really like to hear your comments, and or suggestions.

Also does anyone in the UK now what shops are demoing these devices, i will be checking out my local carphone warehouse this weekend to see if they have the nexus 7 as I don't think anywhere has the TF700 in the UK yet.

Anyone got insider info on what shops maybe stocking the TF700?;)

Thanks for your time and will see you on the forums.

Cheers

iphone 4 replica

My last post might've been missed but I'll just ask it again.

What do you guys think is the best iphone 4s replica out there for around $200 or €150?

GooPhone, GooApple, Lizi, ... ?

I like the iphone's look (menu and phone) but I like the android OS for it's bride selection of apps.

I also would like it to be Android 4.0 , retina, 1ghz cpu, +512mb ram.

Hope someone can help me out, I already transferred the money, now I just have to choose.

If you want more xda support then Nexus 4, if not, then go for the DNA, I think it's better (Don't forget that it's only sold on the US).

But in my opinion, I would prefer the Nexus 4 just 'cause I like it more, it's really a personal opinion matter.
[General Questions and Answers] iroczinoz:
Want to buy a new phone for the wife, budget around 300 currently she has the desire but our little boy has taken ownership since his best mate is talking tom.

Needs to have

good signal strength

good wifi reception

takes nice photo's / video

not too bulky

I was set on the htc one v but after reading the issues with the signal dropouts crossed it off the list.

I am contemplating the desire x - everything seems okay with it except for the fact the video is apparently poor. How poor is the question since I have an incredible s the video is poor too, the desire's video is also poor. Then again can't have it all for a budget of around $300

What other recommendations are there I can maybe throw in an extra $100 if it is really worth it but at the end of the day something closer to $300 would be better?

I looked at the Samsung Mini s3 a little more expensive than the desire. Then the Sony Xperia P or maybe the Galaxy S2. All these phones will be over $300 though and I am not even sure she really needs the extra power or functions. Maybe just better video/photo's that is about all.

I could get a new htc desire for around $200 but is it worth it? Maybe the desire x is a better option for a hundred more?

I have the incredible s and the speaker volume is not the best, skype calls are also on the low end of volume. So hoping HTC has improved the speakers in these new ranges?

Any advice welcome, thanks.

[General Questions and Answers] mfsr98:
HTC gets a lot from XDA, but I bet that doesn't get as much as the Nexus 4 will have. IMO, on XDA the Nexus devices are considered WAY better because of the willing of development from Google and easily unlocked bootloaders, and so on. Of course probably the DNA will get lots of support here, but I think it won't have so much as the One X for example, because it's only avaiable on the US.

Medium Sized Android Phone

I'm looking right now for a medium sized android (4.5 - 4.3 inch) phone to replace my broken GS2 :(

I don't care about OEM skins (Sense etc.) since I will probably be flashing CM10 as soon as I get it.

It must be rootable and have some developer support for it.

I would love a quad core device with a high resolution screen but sadly those kind of specs only come on 4.7 inch+ superphones.

Battery life is not too inportant as long as it lasts a days worth.

I am in the UK so cannot get the MIUI Mi two unfortunately.

So far only the HTC One S has caught my eye

I don't need a step up but would prefer something with a bit more horsepower since it is an upgrade.

[General Questions and Answers] SofaSpud:
Sorry, don't really know, as I didn't look into that. Personally, I prefer to do it that way, as t-mobile devices have been easier to deal with, as in general they are not as aggressive with the whole idea of being proprietary. Perhaps that's because they are of European origin.

I suggest that you look around the G3 and G4 threads for more information on the subject.

Looking for Second Hand, nicely built Small Android Smartphone

Hi!

I'm looking for a new second hand smartphone, but not a powerful one.

I've got a (dying) ZTE Open C, and basically need to do what I used to do with my Palm Tunsten T (PIM), and with a dumbphone.

I don't need powerful, 4G, GPS, high quality photography device...

I need basic functions, but like some quality (good screen), handy, rootable for some alternative Android-based Rom. Not too bulky, to fit in the pocket.

It would be nice to have user-removable battery, as I will probably need to replace it sooner or later.

I hope to find it around 50€, strictly under 100€.

What phone? Please help

Hey

OK, so im turning 14 on january 13th, and my parents have finally agreed to buy me a smartphone. My alloted budget is around 300-350$ (euros). I currently use an ipod touch, so i am quite fond of the home button. So far, i am considering the Xiaomi mi5s, the Meizu pro 6, and the honor 8/huawei nova. I have made an exception for the huawei devices because i find the 2.5D glass + gorilla corning 4 combo stunning.

I need a very performant (3D games) and durable phone since it needs to last 4 years (until im 18). If you suggest any other phones (please do), do keep in mind the homme button criteria as well as the fact that I am used to IOS, so an IOS-like launcher would be much appreciated. BTW The Oneplus 3/3t is out of my price range

P.S: I am an ios developper and I am starting to develop on android too.

Thanks in advance for any answers,

Michael

[General Questions and Answers] HibikiTaisuna:
Hi,

after a few months with a Xperia Z5 Compact I will be on the market for a new phone again. I am looking for something "special":

good AOSP support (either by manufacturer or the community, like f.e. with the Motorola Defy or Moto G)

if there are any phones fullfilling this item: coreboot (like Pixel C f.e.)

in best case smaller than or equal to 5 inches

performance isn't a priority (should be beefier than my old Moto G 1st Gen)

good battery life on WiFi is a must

cellular reception isn't important at all (will be used WiFi only)

shouldn't be too pricey

a horizontal physical keyboard (not gonna happen I know..., in best case the phone does have the same or smaller dimension than a iPhone 6/6s -> bluetooth keyboard case ;))

The device will be solely used on WiFi and it is very important that I can receive or build (without too much hassle) nightly AOSP builds for it. Will be used with FDroid. Are there any recommendations? The only devices that could fix my AOSP needs seem to be the officially supported ones (Nexus, Pixel).

Hello guys, what I'm looking for:

- Good performance.

- Battery life.

What its not relevant to me:

- Camera (as long as its decent its ok for me).

My usage:

- Twitter.

- Whatsapp.

- Newsfeed.

- Reddit.

- Few games.

I find myself deciding between a Huawei P9 and a Xiaomi Mi Max. I wanted the Huawei Mate 9 because it has everything (battery life, performance) but its price is too high. Talking about performance, CPU I think its stronger in Huawei P9. GPU performance both should be similar, Xiaomi maybe a little bit better. Xiaomi should have a much better battery life. And its also cheaper.

Which one should I be buying? I'm almost decided to buy the Xiaomi, but I want it to last at least a couple of years. With mu usage it should be doable, right?

Regards.

Galaxy S7, OnePlus 3T ... or something completely different?

Hey guys,

so the price of the Galaxy S7 has finally dropped far enough (at least in Germany) to be affordable, and since my S4 is falling apart I would really like to get a new phone in the near future.

I kind of settled for two options for now: Galaxy S7 or the OnePlus 3T

My usage:

- Messaging & Phoning

- Taking pictures (more rear than front (so less selfies ;) ) )

- Music (Speakers & Headset)

- Navigation (I travel quite often, inside & outside of Europe)

- I need around 1 day of battery (I don't like power banks :( )

- I love to flash ROMs and tinker with the software, but I'm looking to ease up on it, since it's extremely time-consuming (and leaves me with an unstable phone far too often)

- I like a clean UI and an unbloated OS

-> Price tag should be around 500 € / $.

I don't play games at all and I hardly ever work on my phone, I rarely watch videos.

Which one would be the better choice, when they're more or less the same price (at least if I go for the 128GB OP3T)?

Or should I go for something completely different?

Thanks (:

Hello

I want to buy a new device for my girlfriend. She currently owns the first Samsung Galaxy Alpha, which starts to act strange and will have to be replaced sooner or later from the look of things.

I do own a UMI Super, and while I like the device, it would not be the right one for her, cause it's a little to big and not quite stable enough. Her phone just has to work, she doesn't want to have to try things and stuff, which is why I plan to replace her Alpha.

So, what I think it should be:

-4.5-5 inches, not over 5.2 inches

-good battery life

-LTE Band 20 (800 Mhz)

-Preferably not something from a big overpriced brand like samsung

-should be arround 200-250 $, not more.

My Ideas so far:

-Elephone S3

-Yotaphone 2

Not much more, as most phones are 5.5 inches now and I don't know how good they are.

5X Bootlooped- Need Replacement

Loved my Nexus 5X until the bootloop happened. Need to replace my phone and am overwhelmed with the choices.

About Me: I'm a moderate user. I check emails, browse the web, shop online, use social media and almost exclusively use my phone for photos now.

Wants:

Good to great camera (at least as good as the 5x)

Great battery life- should last one day(16hrs of moderate use)

Fast Processor- l want smooth scrolling and transitions

5.5" screen or less

Fingerprint scanner- not a deal breaker

Good sturdy build - I keep my phones on average about 2 years. I want something to last.

Been considering the Galaxy S7(not Edge), Honor 8, Sony Xperia X's(several models to choose from, so not sure which one is best) and Zenphone 3. The Xperias and Zen phone seem like great devices at good to great prices.

I've ruled out Axon 7, Moto Z Play.

My budget is $500ish but the lower the better.
