[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] osmosizzz:
I completely agree with what you guys say. For me, the micro sd card does it. I have the 16gb s3 and a 16 th card and I'm almost out of space. People use their device for different things and I use them for music. I have my entire music library on my phone and I don't use mp3 but instead flac lossless and if you use them, you know these files are 20-35MB per song. So for me, that's why I didn't sell my s3 for the nexus 4. The screen on the s3 also annoys me. So much, that I.considered sacrificing some songs to get the nexus 4. First pentile screen that I used was the Motorola Atrix 4G and the pentile made the screen garbage. I came with the s3 because it was the best phone t mobile had and I also seen reviews where they said the high pixel density made the pentile not matter. Well it still bus me so now I know for my next phone. I also can't rely on cloud storage because of the inconsistent signal from t mobile. In the mall yesterday, I got 1-2 signal (sometimes none) while my soon to be girlfriend :fingers crossed: had full signal with att. And no matter what carrier you have ,you are limited to data and steaming can make a dent so cloud won't become more useful for steaming for a while. And if I go on a trip, I can't friend in streaming either. A 64 GB nexus 4 child have gone the trick for many people. Although we dislike the sealed battery, many can deal with it and I can, but not with no large memory or sd slot

That's a tough sell

Does anyone think they will use the dual window feature when the new update package comes out?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] se1000:
I disabled about 30 apps and typically run 550-750mb of ram at the most. I basically cut the OS down to only the parts I use. It helped a lot to speed things up on the SGS3.

I don't think I'll personally use it that often, but the biggest thing for me is that, if I wanted to, I could (if I stick with the SGS3). There's not telling if any of this will get ported to AOSP/AOKP, but if it doesn't, it means you don't have a choice. As much as people knock Touchwiz and even Sense, they are pretty convenient and come with some cool features. Touchwiz especially with all of the Samsung specific software. If you have other Samsung devices that are compatible, that can also factor in on the decision.

I may end up keeping both phones. haha. :eek:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] droidNoob74:
I have both but...

I have a Tmo s3 and bought a N4. I used N4 for a couple of days and let's just say, I came back to my s3.

- on s3 you get the entire 4.8" of screen so watching netflix and reading flipboard, pulse and web surfing is better imo.(on N4 you don't get the entire 4.7")

- I'm not a fan of on-screen buttons because i have accidently hit home button a few times when I meant to type space bar on the keyboard(super annoying)

- ext. micro sd slot. (hallelujah) . I can keep official touchwiz rom nandroid backup on intenal sd and my all other rom backups on my ext. sd giving me ample space on my internal sd.(I like to switch roms back and forth)

- split screen is getting pushed soon.

- removable batteries.(not a deal breaker but nice to have the option)

- stock camera app on s3 definitely takes better pictures and video shooting has pause option. :)

- and if i break or brick my phone i only have to pay $130 deductible to get a replacement. /knockOnWood

N4

- has better build feel and look.

- google wallet out the box.

- first to get updates.

- wireless charging capability

- miracast feature with just a cheap on-TV dongle for non smartTVs

- raw power for gamers.(geekbench scores 2050-2085 out the box. iphone 5 gets 1600+)

but ultimately, it all comes down to how you like to use your phone. but for me, s3 > N4.(slightly)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Lotagu:
Thanks for awesome message. What time are you using for your S3. I'm looking for a good touch with romantic for my T-999v

Thanks again for your detailed message:)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Eudeferrer:
I love my S3 and there is no other phone, especially one without an SD card or removable battery that I would user in the world.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fenstre:
Ha, that's not true. The Cyanogenmod developers seem to dislike the S3. It's crashy when running CM, and glitchy for some people. It's stable enough for most people to use, but if running AOSP is important, S3 support is a worry when buying a phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rookiegenius:
I wouldn't trade my 4 month old S3 with a brand new N4. Personally, I think the N4 looks better and has better screen (oh, and faster chip--> don't care). But the S3 is more practical due to supporting USB otg (Ive read that the N4's hardware don't support usb otg ), memory card, removable battery. Touchwiz is, actually, great after I experienced pure android on the N10. It is more friendly and convenient. Not sure about the N4, but playing media file on the N10 is a pain since it doesn't support many codec (since they are all Nexus so I assume they are the same). THe N4 may be the hottest phone atm, but the S3 is still better. (I ordered a N4 for my bro and it is coming today :) will have a chance to compare them)

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] t3dpott3r:
I'm really torn with the s3. I'm finally due for an upgrade and was planning on getting the s3 but with all of the complaints about the screen and the fact the s4 is on the horizon I just might wait.. I do know that the SD card not being on the N4 is a deal breaker and I won't consider it no matter how great. Shame that Google seems to following in Apple's footsteps in that regards.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] grumpygx:
Do not forget about the battery life. Switched back from the nexus after a week of usage. Screen on time is horrible compared to the galaxy.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pennycake:
While cloud streaming is a great concept, I don't want to be forced to use it since it's not always the best solution for the situation. I like having choice.

No removable battery is also a deal breaker for me. I want to not care if I'm abusing the battery.

I would love to trade screen technology, but then again I like being able to save battery by lowering the brightness past stock settings when I don't need it.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] bryanfritz1:
Hey guys about ready to finally break down and unlock this thing, but I've been using it since august and I would really like to save some app data, any suggestions?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] yogi2010:
there is a free market app called My Backup that has a non-root version, it will backup your data and apps separately. it works pretty well, and will backup your app data. it can sometimes be flakey restoring all your apps, but it mainly works. i've found it flawless for data such as sms/mms, bookmarks, call log, etc

edit: just make sure to save your backup in a safe place, like a physical sdcard if you have one in your device, or your computer, since the unlock wipes your device. if i remember correctly, the app will store your backup in a folder called rerware/MyBackup..... something like that :)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] bryanfritz1:
If your not rooted it doesn't do app data. For not being rooted it does have a lot of nice options for sms, mms and such that a lot of apps mess up so its still a nice find.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dopamin3:
I just picked up the Nexus 4 16GB unlocked from Google. Awesome phone and I have it on the TMobile $30 a month (100 min; unlimited data/text). I get pretty good reception everywhere except in my house. Now one window upstairs, if I hold the phone next to it I'm pulling 2 bars in and can make calls.

My question is, what's the best way to boost the signal and which ones are compatible with TMobile and the Nexus 4? I was looking at something like the zBoost SOHO but wasn't sure if it would work or if there were better options.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sickred:
On regular tmobile phones they have WiFi calling butt he nexus 4 does not soooo my suggestion would be to try to get tmobile to send you a micro cell tower for your house. That way you can get full bars and good data speeds. If they don't want to send you one see if you can buy one on craigslist. That's what my friend did for his att phones. When I was in sprints network they sent me one right away because they knew that their network sucked in my area.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monk4Life:
Don't get the one from T-Mobile. It sucks bad. I have had horrible reception and dropped calls with previous phones in my house. T-Mobile must have known I was having dropped calls because I received a text message from them about it saying to call about a free in home booster.

You have to sign a 2 year contract for it again and the thing blows. Numerous times a week I have had to restart both pieces because I could not make or receive any calls in my house even though I had full bars. Once I got my Nexus 4 I unplugged the booster and have not needed it with my N4. I have learnt to switch to 2g at the house and use WiFi for data and have had no issues. Just my 2 cents.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yahoowizard:
Use Vonage to make outgoing calls, I guess, that might help a bit. It uses your T-Mobile number and it's free, and it uses Wifi, but not sure what to do for the incoming calls and things like that.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dopamin3:
So does anyone know which one is compatible or best? Will the zBoost YX545 work with the Nexus 4 on T-Mobile?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmm:
I've only had mine a few days, so I don't have a lot of experience with it, but I haven't seen anything like that so far. Voice calls are nice and solid, and I'm getting the same data rates inside the house that I get outside. Also, the effect on my battery life has been significant. I work at home, so I went from spending most of my time with 0-1 bars to spending most of my time with 4 bars. Whereas I was previously ending the day with about 10% battery left, now I'm averaging around 40% left when I plug in at bedtime. I'm quite happy with my signal booster so far.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
I too had the $30 TMo plan and was going to get a booster but after reading all the reviews I could find I decided to just go with ST AT&T instead and save myself the $200 for the booster. TMo had horrible reception inside every builbing I'd been in. As far as the boosters go the more you pay the better off you are, teh cheap ones don't seem to work. But If you read the reviews carefully it's still about a 50/50 ratio of people who actually got one to work and all of them had to install the antenna on the roof of their house and you need at least 2-3 bars to begin with. As far as the cell fi systems from TMo go they seem to work best but thet are only for 2 year subscribers and not pay as you go plans. You can find one on-line for aroung $500.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpjimmy:
I have had the Cel-fi from Tmo since I got the Sensation a couple of years back. Just a FYI, you can buy the same setup on ebay as well if you don't want to be tied to a contract. I did it because I just got the Sensation as an upgrade in tmo and then within a week, got the tmo cel-fi system for free with the contract extension.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmm:
Just as a follow-up to my earlier reply to this: after another couple of weeks, I have still not had any problems like this with my booster. I haven't had to reboot either unit, and everything is working fine.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monk4Life:
I hope yours doesn't but mine started having issues after a few months not few weeks of use. 2 of the same issues I have had with mine others are experiencing too. I am sending mine back but not wanting one returned. Good luck!

Called T-Mobile about one of these a few days ago and was told they're out of stock until mid-summer.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clockcycle:
Question, do you guys base your signal quality on the signal bars?

Supposedly tmo doesn't need to show as many bars or as high a signal to get call service and better voice quality than most other networks.

Straight Talk throttles, although AT&T service is pretty good.

I was hoping tmobile and it's refarming to 1900 had made some improvements.

Signal booster requires you to have wifi. It's an ok solution if you have wifi in your house, work or where ever you intend to apply the signal booster. But useless if you're moving around and getting crappy service/ signal.

If I'm within wifi access I'm probably not needing to use data on my phone anyways. But are you able to get cell service at least or is that lacking still would be my concern.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monk4Life:
Who told you the signal booster requires WiFi? Mine doesn't and that was part of a requirement on my end to get it. T-Mobile told me that if I had WiFi at my house and my phone supported WiFi calling T-Mobile would not give me a booster.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arvonn:
No need for Wi-Fi for the celfi to work. I got a celfi off eBay, to tide me over until some one gets Wi-Fi calling working.

The Cell fi works great with nexus 4.

Just adding my two cents as I have virtually no service in my house.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clockcycle:
Thanks for the "information". I see that it's not like Sprint's "signal booster" which requires a broadband connection.

[HTC One V] Tieyourshoelace:
Hi,

I've noticed that the colors on my HTC One V are slightly yellowish, compared to my iPhone. Especially whites. For instance, while viewing any thing with a white background, the One V's screen positively looks yellow, like it's contracted jaundice. However it's barely noticeable if I hadn't compared it to the iPhone.

As far as I know, both have LCD displays, so why should such a discrepancy arise?

Is there any app / kernel setting that can change the color (gamma?) settings for the phone to make it more realistic and less 'yellowish' ?
[HTC One V] mihirengg19:
many of these cases arise due to faulty LCD screens...consider sending it for repair or replacement...

HELLO I AM NEW TO XDA BUT HAVE AFIVE YEAR EXPERIANCE IN ANDROID

hey guys want ur old android market which was fast and nice4 follow my steps [working on any device 100% garanteed]

1 root your device

2 freeze market updater through titanium backup [you can find it in google play]

3 download this apk and install [given below]

4 now reboot ur device u can see the old market in your app drawer

hit tanks to me this is the only way to get ur old market:cool:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cyanoid:
'Force close' on reboot. I've tried a lot of market fixes these last few days, in an attempt to get back my old google market, 'cos I despise the new one. I've tried numerous older versions; v2.3.4, v2.3.6, v1.2.0, separate market and updater apk's, writing permissions, changing ownership, freezing marketupdater, etc etc ETC. On my HTC Desire (MIUI Rom), they either wouldn't take, and would crash on reboot, or would get updated and automatically replaced by Play store, or, like yours, would Force Close all over the place when I rebooted.

The only one that worked, is "OldMarket_v1.1.3.apk". That's because it's not just an old market apk... it installs an old market apk. And even has a mechanism to allow you to switch back to the new one with a click. No need to mess about with terminal, permissions, ownership rights, root explorer, pushing, pulling or tearing your hair out I downloaded files with it, rebooted a couple of times, it still stuck and worked beautifully. And it's a permanent fix, won't update. There you go.

The fix is for Facebook to fix their Contact sync. Or use 3rd party programs.

Facebook thinks you don't own your contacts. If someone removes you as a friend Facebook things that contact info should dissappear from your phone. That's not right and that's not what Google allows.
