I have the exact same problem- I really like hardware keyboards. The best choice these days is the motorola droid 4. All the other phones seem underpowered. I have done tons of research into this. Another option is to switch to blackberry.

If you want a phone and tablet, consider getting the padfone 2. It is a very capable phone with a stupid name, but it's extremely fast, and can convert into a tablet!

new device

Hi

I have HTC Sensation Elegancia ROM v 3.5.0,i looking for new phone,but i want stay in HTC.

What is better?HTC One X+ or wait for new Butterfly a few months?

Thx
[General Questions and Answers] Lt.Win:
Re: **DEVICE SUGGESTION THREAD** -- Not sure what device to buy? Ask here!

If you're eager to buy one now, one X+ is good. If you use custom Roms, don't go for butterfly, atleast for now. Mostly they're the same, but if you want to wait, go for the butterfly.

Although I don't recommend staying on HTC now, looking at tyr latest news of their anti developer stance. Check out some news on the portal, you'll find out why I say this.

The Awesome Rooted, Customized And Supercharged HTC Wildfire™ S powered by CyanogenMod 10.0

[General Questions and Answers] georgelui7:
I would say One X+. The Butterfly has a horrible battery life, if that's of any concern, I wouldn't get it. The One X+ on the other hand, has a day long battery life, and the screen is brighter than the Butterfly.

720p vs 1080p is not much of a difference, but i'm not picky with my screens. As a direct comparison, the One X+ has a brighter and more vivid screen, while the Butterfly has an amazing resolution screen that looks real. Even at 1" from my eyes I can't see the pixels.

Tablet Z? I tried it in japan, at least the Docomo Xi version is extremely quick and the screen is amazing. It is also freakishly thin, I'm pretty sure i can snap it in my hands.

**DEVICE SUGGESTION THREAD** -- Not sure what device to buy? Ask here!

Hi, Im hopefully getting my upgrade next week, I'm really stuck as to which phone to get, I came on here a few weeks ago and said I was interested in either the lumia 920, iphone 5 or galaxy note 2, but now I definitely want an android phone, so it's either out of the galaxy note 2, nexus 4 or summink else, I want a big screen to watch movies on and stuff, and the only other major thing is, I get bored with phones really easy, and I'm spending hundreds of pounds just swapping my phones every 3-4 months on selling and buying different ones on eBay, so I want a phone that can keep me happy, so what do you guys suggest??? I'm in the u.k if that helps, I'm leaning towards the note 2 for the huge screen but I'm wondering what the nexus 4 is like , any suggestions would help a great deal

Thanks alot
[General Questions and Answers] Lt.Win:
Re: **DEVICE SUGGESTION THREAD** -- Not sure what device to buy? Ask here!

If you're a heavy multimedia person, I would recommend note 2. It's battery lasts for like, 2 days it something. Even with heavy usage. It's good to play games on a nice big screen too.

If you want pure AOSP and direct Google support, nexus 4 is your thing. It's a good showdown, but I would go for a Note 2, in your place. Simply because its huge and does everything. :)

**DEVICE SUGGESTION THREAD** -- Not sure what device to buy? Ask here!

Hi yeah I'm a heavy user, I'm pretty much always on it, either browsing the net or messaging or listening to music.

That's one of the reasons why I was thinking a nexus 4 because of the support , but I would rather a phone I enjoy at the moment rather than future updates although updates are always welcomed, I've heard a few things about the nexus 4 that did turn me off a bit which is the camera and the low music volume and the battery, I dunno I'm just really confused cos I definitely have a phone addiction lol, I will buy one and if I'm not happy with it ill sell it like 8 weeks later but that's gone on and on for nearly 2 years, I'm spending alot of money , I wanted to get away from the whole swapping phones cos I'm bored sort of thing, one thing is though, i had a note 1 and although I did like the size sometimes the size pissed me off, just certain times when I wanted to use it one handed and had a bit of trouble, thanks for your reply mate, much appreciated.

In my honest option, for entertainment purposes, a xperia android is the best, best audio quality, and with bravia, vibrant colors but not over saturated like most amoled. They also have play stations integration for nice ps1 games with touch controls. Music and video unlimited for all you can eat music and video with a monthly fee, the music subscription is cheaper then Pandora. But the battery life is definitely not as good as the note 2 tho.

Cube U18GT - Is it worth it for a less than $100 7" Tablet?

Hi guys,

This is my first time looking at getting a tablet. I didnt want to spend too much money and then I ran across this tablet:

Cube U18GT (Its not letting me link at the moment but I'll put up a link asap. Till then google it :P)

From reading up about tablets for the last 4-5 days, this seems to tick all my boxes. Even so, I am still wary as I could not find any detailed reviews for this product, although the Cube U30GT seems to be popular enough. Does anyone have any thoughts on this tablet?

Also, I have read that this will most likely not have the Facebook App as well as google talk and a couple of other stock apps as this is a chinese tablet. This is not too much of an issue but if it does become one (with other app restrictions), is it easy to flash the tablet with a custom firmware?

Any thoughts on this matter would be much appreciated!!

Thanks guys :cyclops:

Sorry I made separate threat, here is my question.

I need to replace ma aged Milestone (OG Droid) and basically this two are the only choice I have (contract, gift etc)

I like the IP67 cert. on the GO and love the idea of dual core cpu, however I am worried about the screen res HVGA on 3.5", will I go blind from the pixel size? 165 ppi

I like the screen size on One V, the ICS and the unibody, but I am worried that it won't be much of an upgrade from my old phone (running at 1 Ghz on CM7). I was looking at some quadrant benchmarks and while it is faster, its not by much. However the 512mb ram would be a huge upgrade to me (milestone locked BL, no swap apps shutdown).

As far as I can tell, they both have decent 5mp cameras and shoot nice 720p videos.

Need advice.

Ive searched google for days and have had no posative result or have i found anyone that has acheived the same goal so i thought what better place to ask then the xda forums.

Im looking to buy a new tablet for 1 purpose only, i have the torque app on my droid and have bought several bluetooth obd2 adapters from ebay but have yet found 1 to work, for those that have just asked themselves what the hell is a obd2 adapter its for car diagnostics.

What im aiming todo is buy a android tablet that will allow me to plug in a obd2 adaptor through usb as these have no issues and run the torque app but on my searches people have said that the tab would have to allow usb interface with the adapter, i dont really want to go spend 1, 2 or £300 on a tab to realize that it dont work. The tab will be mounted in the car for this strict purpose instead of always having to get out the laptop to run checks and the torque app has much more to offer unlike the usual car diagnostics software.

I really hope someone can help me with this situation as its anoying me that ive bough an app and i have no way of using it.

Evo 3D or Photon 4G

Short Version: As far as rooting and available roms go which would I be better off with Evo 3D or Photon 4G? Either will be free.

Long Version:

I recently have had a bunch of problems with my Evo 4G that was replaced by Asurion. It took 3 times to get one that was better than the rest but still not right. After a few months of use it too started to act up. A 45 minute phone call later they sent me an Evo 3D to replace my 4G. Out of the box it had the infamous freeze/reboot syndrome. Yet another 45 minute phone call later I was offered either another Evo 3D or Photon 4G. So from an after market rooting point of view which would I be better off with? I have researched the roms available but still can't decide. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The one XT is the China one x, do not buy it unless you live in China.

The one XL is the at&t version of the one x. At&t markets it as the one x which causes a lot of confusion. Has LTE and snapdragon s4

Nexus 4 Rocks!

After input on this thread I picked up a Nexus 4 from craigslist. Somebody bought it for a friend who didn't have cash, I did, it's mine. It was unopened, I tested it right there and it worked.

I got it home ordered a case from ebay since Otterbox doesn't make one. While waiting for the case to arrive I unlocked the boot loader, rooted it, and installed my apps along with my data from my "old" HTC Sensation. I did manage to fill the 16GB in two hours but that was because I was installing apps from my backups. Still, I'm down to 4.5GB, I sure wish they had built a 32GB phone. I have about 6GB of just music on it, stuff from the 50s to today.

This thing is FAST! Installing a program from SD takes seconds, removing it takes less than 2 seconds. I love the Android 4.2 multitasking, with 2GB RAM there's no more worrying about running out of memory. I typically run 3 or 4 apps at the same time.

For $380 delivered this is a GREAT phone!
