Honestly, my Blackberry 9700. Multi tasked like a champ, amazing battery life and could knock out 60 words a minute on the physical keyboard.

Just lacked a big screen and apps.

If BB10 has a physical keyboard device that has that and bigger screen and better apps, I would switch in a nano second.

Besides that phone, this one is hard to beat in the S3. Best Android experience I have had thus far and had a few to say the least.

Before smartphones? Definately the Sony Ericsson W810i. Had an FM radio, dual-led flash, walkman software, and the UI was pretty clean too. I LOVED that thing! For messaging it had to be my 2007 Sidekick LX :o. My first smartphone was supposed to be an Iphone but they were too expensive so i settled for the G1 (thank god!). Nice phone but it got dated pretty fast. I upgraded to the Vibrant which has to be my favorite smartphone, even today it can still hold up pretty well.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] deviusdragger:
Just busting your balls :). For me the most useful and best phones for their time was the n95 and the first iPhone after it was jail broken. Also my galaxy 2, used this phone for almost 8 months without a problem.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] youngchris29:
My favorite phone before the s3 was the OG HTC Evo 4g. My first android phone and a legend in the android community IMHO. That thing was a beast! Still have it to this day and still flash new Jb/ICS ROMs on it from time to time. Development on that phone was and still is outstanding. :thumbup:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Markor13:
I love my S3 but sometimes wish I can go back to the simple days, the days when there were no smartphones you either had a candybar style phone or flip phone. All those phones I've owned were quality phones never had a problem what so ever.

It's a toss up between my SGSIII (S4) and my One X (Tegra3)....I still love my Amaze though.... :cool:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Saturny:
Flip-phone.

Best phone? Other than the S3, it was a white flip-phone from Samsung. I can't remember the name, but it was my first t-mobile phone was I signed up six years ago. It came free. I used it for two years, upgraded and passed it to my Dad. He dropped that phone on the hard ground, in water, he even put it in a oven one time to dry it off. And it still kept on running! :eek: It finally kicked 1 or 2 years ago. My dad wished he could get another one for a while.

I forgot all about my Blackberry. I had an 8900 and absolutely loved it. The lack of apps killed it for me though too. I think the thing I liked most about it was the program used to make your own themes. I spent countless hours making custom themes for it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jaimesco12:
The galaxy s3 is a good phone but my top favorite phones were the htc one x international with the quadcore processor and that beautiful display, I only sold it for this galaxy s3 because I needed 4g on tmobile . My other favorite phone was the droid x2 I loved the design and how the metal feeled and the performance of the phone was amazing.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Darron614:
Galaxy S3 of course!

I do have a soft spot in my heart for my Samsung Infuse 4G (first android phone).

Excluding dumb phones I've had the 3gs, nexus one, and the gs2 skyrocket. Although I really enjoyed the nexus I'd have to say the skyrocket is the best I've ever used.

Id have to say my vibrant.. cause it was the first phone i decided to root.. i bricked that damn thing like four times and it still is alive and kicking.. it had the best roms ever.. team inherjar ( i know i misspelled it) but whithawk was a beast on it
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] crazexr7:
Vibrants are great. I lost count how many times I bricked it but it only gave me a hard brick that was unfixable once. And that was upgrading to stock 2.2 froyo. Was a great intro to rooting and flashing for me. My best phone has to be the gs3 though. It's the most powerful phone I have and seems to be more powerful than a windows xp computer!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Orical:
I've owned devices for years and out of everything I've had this device takes the cake. It's easy to say the first venture into something more advanced than a standard cell phone is that magical device (like the first run Androids that hit the market) that got you hooked into either collecting or developing but there's nothing like new and having what you want out of your choices. I remember looking into what devices had the best development before I bought something but the days of the super cell are just about here.

Lol that's how I felt about my HTC Amaze... junk. I replaced it with the One S and it just wasn't enough of an upgrade so I got the S3
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] khoikn:
My first phone, the original Motorola RAZR was my favorite.

I couldn't get internet, no texting, just pure straight phone calls.

It was a simply sleek device. Compact, functioned well, and looked sexy.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] regerer:
HD2

Phone was a tank
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] qben88:
Besides the miriad of razor's it would go have to be the htc mytouch 4g. Damn near unbreakable very thin and one of the last phone with a dedicated camera key, 4 hardware buttons, an optical trackball, and for its time a lot of ram(768mb) close second to that would be the original nexus which the mytouch replaced.

My Galaxy Nexus has been amazing. My Droid OG coming in second. The Droid 2 was awful.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] teshgnex:
Seconded on the Galaxy Nexus - i'm trying to sell it since I got the S3 (a close second on the best phones list for me) but having a hard time since it was such a good phone, stock rooted it could do anything, great battery life for me overall and just generally awesome....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chui84:
yep that phone was hardcore
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] BurningArmada:
I have only had two android phones. I started out with a Samsung vibrant and rocked that for about 2.5 years thanks to the devs on this site. I really am 100% in love with the S3 so far though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] :
My Nexus One with CM 7 was my best. Loved the option to change led colors depending of the type of notification.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] htc fan89:
HTC desire was so sexy back then lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bdveteran18:
Probably the S3 and that's not because I own it now. Phone is a serious powerhouse and it gets me through the day more efficiently than any other phone other than my rooted S2 or Vibrant. A close second would be my Motorola V710. First phone I had an sd card for and had a full length movie on. ooo the memories..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] david032766:
Dell streak....sometimes i wish i still had it
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DigitalUnderground:
Worst thing about the RAZR is when you hit a dead spot while on a call... it would freeze and make me do a battery pull. Irritating as hell... especially when a road rager pulls a gun on you and you're trying to call 911... hated that POS

Except my current Galaxy Nexus... My best phone that I've had ever own is the Nokia N82

I have a question guys, if anyone bother to answer. On the audio perspective, hows the sound on the GS3...and if you can compare it to the GNex, that would be great!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DavidXSU:
Sound is way better than the Galaxy Nexus. I'm still using the stock headphones too. I don't think you'd be disappointed.

gonna have to say s3 also. first phone i've used that doesn't get superhot playing games (cough htc amaze, mytouch 4g)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mesh626:
I owned a few android devices and I gotta say the S3 is by far my best device yet. Prior to that was the Mytouch 4g Slide, I really miss the keyboard but I can deal without it, but to be honest it seems like the newer the device the quicker the battery dies. I can't get over 6hrs of use with my battery on the S3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Orical:
I feel the same way, my GS3 lasts all day but I don't get to use it a lot at work.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Gizmoe:
I hear that. Long gone are the days your phone would last 3 days on a charge. The only thing I miss about my old Samsung flip phone.

my best phones

Of the phones i've had 3 are the best

1. Galaxy s 3

2. Htc HD2

3. Samsung SGH-I450 wich was my first one with symbian
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nyyankees1237:
GS3!

Out of the many different phones and operating systems I've used only two truly stand out.

Blackberry Bold 9000 (White:D)

Even though many problems plagued this device it will forever be in my heart as my first and last blackberry (I loved it, until it broke out of nowhere...:()

My absolute favorite device ever is definitely the S3! It's insanely awesome! Fast, elegant, and kicks the iPhone's butt anyday! Don't you just love seeing your S3 next to an iPhone and thinking wow, that sucks my phone is amazing compared to that garbage.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lorddart:
This phone is freaking awesome. The one s and sensation are much 'sexier' phones if you will... But I loved my vibrant. My first smart phone and I busted my ace to learn how to do stuff. Soft bricked it more than I could count. First time I did I thought I was screwed. Spent hours before registered trying to figure out how to fix it... Didn't post some 'omgz your rom broked my fone!' garbage. Just did hours of research while sweating bricks thinking I'd just bricked my $300 phone ha. And I'm broke as is... Such a great experience though.

But this phone is pretty slick. Screen is slightly large for my taste... Had HTC not blew their load on a resolution that's over a year behind I would have probably stuck with it for the price difference. Talking about resolutions that make me want to rub mud in my eyes. How about apple f'ing up the ipad mini by giving it a terrible resolution for current gen on top of it being about an inch larger screen than the nook tablet and shares the same resolution released on it from a year ago... Shame

Tl;Dr the galaxy s iii is quite amazing... Little large. But beautiful.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] axesd:
Way better? mmm I gotta find a way to investigate on that
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Spidey01:
HTC Glaicier / T-Mobile MyTouch 4G running CyanogenMod 7.1-stable.

1 Ghz single cored Scorpion, only about a gig of user storage available and a sweet 3.8" screen that was _always_ bright enough for me, even when turned to minimum as it usually was. Only crashed on me once in like 8-9 months.

Loved it so much in fact that instead of an Galaxy S2, I bought the worst phone that I've ever owned -- the HTC Doubleshot / MyTouch 4G Slide running various ICS ROMs and CM9.

Galaxy S3 and Sony Xperia Arc
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DigitalUnderground:
Am I the only one that finds the sgs3 sexy? I think it looks nicer than any phone out there... and has the performance to back it up.

And +1 on mt4g. Most underrated device ever. Only phone I kept for my whole contract... and my son still uses it... and it still gets 2-3 days of battery life on CM7.1

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nghisus:
Hey guys, I'm sort of not too new to rooting now I guess. Started with a Samsung Moment, Nook Color, Evo Shift, and EVO 3D. Anyway, I really loved the Cyanogen nightlies for the Nook Color. It was really stable and had a lot of options in terms of using emulators and all the Android software options. I'm waiting for my Nexus 7 to come in and I would really like to know what you guys are using and if any of you have Cyanogen and what you think about it compared to the Nook Color in terms of stability. If any of you have a Rom that you prefer I'd like to here about that too. Thanks!

I'll look into Paranoid too then, Google is my friend.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] upndwn4par:
I've been seeing this pop up in Q&A lately, so I thought I'd share.

This is a simple mod to force 2G/3G on the AT&T Atrix 4G running GB 2.3.6 (4.5.141). I assume the process should be similar, if not the same, for other versions of GB and other carriers.

I performed the following steps with ES File Explorer:

1) Go to /system/etc/motorola/com.android phone/defaults.xml

2) Edit defaults.xml changing false to true (see screenshot), then save changes

3) Wipe data in CWM, reboot

4) Go to Settings, Wireless & network settings, Mobile networks, then select desired network

Note: This only works with the 100r radio (I only tried the German O2 - others may work).

Don't forget to click Thanks!

(it keeps me motivated :D)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] maajstor:
I've had this option without modifying anything. However, I've never had bare stock ROM.

And...

... WTF???
[Atrix 4G Android Development] upndwn4par:
Please don't comment on my threads if you have nothing of value to add.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mysticdrew:
Does it actually stick to 2g? I've done this before and even though it lets me pick the option, the actual network never changes down.

If I remember correctly..Dorian mentioned none of these changes would work on an ATT based atrix as well.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] upndwn4par:
Yup, works perfectly. I forgot to mention in the OP that it only works with the 100r radio. I'll add that now.
[General Questions and Answers] Vinny Bacon:
Okay,

I'm hoping that I'm posting this in the right place, since I'm new here, but here it goes.

I was wondering how to tell if I am able to use a rom. I know the obvious that it has to be for my phone, but what other important things (such as firmware) should I look at to make sure a rom is right for my phone. If there's a thread on this already, or if this is the wrong section please just point me in the right direction. :D
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
If the ROM is made for your phone, then it will work completely. If it was made for a phone in the same family of devices as yours, it may work fully or partially. For example, I have the LG P505. I can use any ROM made for the P505. I can use any ROM made for the P500 (which opens the doors to dozens of choices, from only a handful), but the screen driver is wrong, so the colors are messed up, and once the screen goes black, it doesn't come back (lol). To solve it, I have to flash a kernel made specifically for my phone (P505) after flashing the ROM.

If you have a flashable kernel .zip for your phone, you can use any ROM made for the whole family of devices of which your phone is a part.
[General Questions and Answers] Theonew:
Just read the OP of the ROM thread (all of it; more than once). That's where you should find information on compatibility. If its in your device's section, its quite likely it will be compatible. But, you still need to read in case it requires a specific recovery, etc. to be flashed and work correctly.
[General Questions and Answers] Vinny Bacon:
Thanks for the replies! I've been having problems with boot loops and I was wondering if it was a compatibility issue. where would I get my hands on my phones kernel? I have an HTC sensation currently running sence-o-manic btw
[General Questions and Answers] Vinny Bacon:
I'm having trouble flashing ViperS. the op doesn't specify any procedures, but I get caught in a boot loop after going through the setup. not sure if I'm missing something or if i may have neglected to run a process that the op is assuming Ive completed. Needless to say, I'm completely lost lol.

If you go to sensation forum instead of posting in general there will be A LOT more people there to help you.

Once you get there, read stickied thread by malybru called something like "great starting point for new sensation users" in Sensation general, and if you still have questions after that, go to Sensation Q&A , find another stickied thread called "Help Thread" and ask there.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
Yeah, that's not right. And this is the first I've heard of it. Have you done anything...odd with it? I know you don't want to hear it, but the simplest solution would be to do a clean install (format system, boot and factory reset). Then install the ROM and go from there. Keep track of what you do, and if it pops up again, try and remember what you did recently to it.

Haven't done anything out of the usual... I'll probably wipe and reflash tonight's build. Thanks though :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Willieplas:
Hi everyone, so i have a verizon galaxy s 3 and I moved to mexico city from LA. i was going to try the sim unlock method that is posted on the development forum but i actually decided to unlock and root the phone first. later i installed the JellyWiz ROM and to my surprise when i inserted the Telcel sim card, it started working.

I later saw that i could make calls/text and received but i had no data at all. i read that i had to input the APN manually so i called telcel and they were nice enough to actually give them to me. after putting the info in, i got a "G" icon and i started to get some data, but it was not 3G and when i drive around town, i only get data sometimes.

since im a new member i cant port a question in the development forum so im stuck doing it here lol does anyone have any ideas??? im not sure if its just the custom rom that is the problem or the verizon phone doesn't have a compatible 3g radio here in Mexico??? im so lost and running out of hacking talent here hahahaha i put in the

You can do this on any custom roms.
