Well, as the title reads, which phone should I get next? My AT&T contract will be fulfilled in the next couple of months so, I've been looking at available AT&T phones. I currently have an HTC Desire Z and I love the size of it - easy to put in and take out of my jeans pocket. Most of the new phones I see are so big they should come with a back pack for them. Can anyone recommend a late model, fast phone that isn't as huge as the HTC One X and Samsung G3? And, please don't say "Iphone".

No offence but they don't sell those phones without camera anymore welcome to 2012 almost 13 everything is big now TV's cellphones etc

Nexus 4 or Galaxy S3. You could just head over to the AT&T store and road test some. ;)

I suggest trying the one x plus. Its big but you'll get used to the size. If not then there is the Motorola atrix HD

[General Questions and Answers] Pennycake:
I think ~5" is the perfect size for a smartphone - big enough screen to see things and enjoy it, but small enough to still use effectively with one hand.

Honestly, I remember the first cell-phone I ever used and it was WAY bigger.

If you do want something smaller, though - I don't know, I'd probably look at international phones that would work with ATT, or just go into an ATT store or such and look around. The Galaxy S3 Mini is smaller, but I don't know how well it will work on ATT and what you could expect (it lacks LTE, I've heard). It also depends on the performance you're expecting.

have you considered one of those quality Chinese android handsets ?

things like the Newman N1, GooPhone, ZTE V970 etc ?
[General Questions and Answers] kamendra:
I think you should go with Galaxy S3. I am also using this phone last some months it's a superb mobile phone bacase it has 4.8 inch Superb Super AMOLED display with saturated colors and high contrast with 8 megapixel camera with autofocus, flash and HD video recording, 4.0 android operating system, Quad-core 1.4 GHz Processor and 2050 mAh battery capacity.

Thanks for all the replies! I do plan to look around the AT&T store but sometimes its a little overwhelming when I start diving into the specs for every phone.

I was not aware of the "quality" made chinese phones; I may look into that.

Thanks again for the help and if there are anymore recommendations please, keep them coming.

Well i have an s3 and a note 2 but i gotta say the new iphone 5 is the best it beats most droid phones.

If i could afford one i would get one.

what's your budget? Desire z is mid range so if your budget is about the same then look at Galaxy S2.
[General Questions and Answers] c1823a:
Budget will be determined by AT&T having a phone I will settle with on a contract extension so, I guess my budget will be $200~300.

[General Questions and Answers] pangster:
Best phone on the market at the minute (*arguably*) is the ASUS Padfone 2.. but sadly it isn't available in the US (no US release date mentioned yet either).. so would probably say the LTE version of the Samsung Galaxy S3 would be a contender..
[General Questions and Answers] c1823a:
I'm not really looking at the IPhone 5 but will the IPhone 5 sync with my google contacts and google calendar? That's one thing I really like about the android phones. From my research the iphone 5 can be made to sync with all my google stuff but how effective/accurate is it? Are there any bugs or issues with this?

I recommend Samsung Galaxy Note II , it's really amazing phone very fast , smooth and got the latest Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean
[General Questions and Answers] TamiTT:
Galaxy Ace for your Preffered Size

I would Suggest to go for Samsung Galaxy Ace or You can Opt for Huawei Ascend.

I will suggest you to don't go for small screen size as 2013 will be the Year of Big Screens so if you are willing then go for Note II you will love it and Also will get use to its Big Size.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jonahng1994:
I just received my 32 GB micro SD and I'm gonna put it in my note. I had a 16Gb. When I put in the 32gb it slowed down and my phone would freeze more often. I am running Liquid Smooth Jelly Bean 4.1.2 RC8. Ima format the 32gb so it can fresh it out. Should I reflash my ROM since I've upgraded the storage?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LittleRedDot:
Did you move any system function or apps onto your ad card? I would put in the 32 and format and partition it, then take everything off the 16 and put it on the 32. Then report back your findings.

BTW- did you buy the same class card?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LittleRedDot:
Now that I'm thinking about it, a rom re flash couldn't hurt.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jonahng1994:
Yeah I bought the same class SD card, and all I transfered was my music and pictures. I formated the 32gb already and transfered all my files. I'm thinking just to reflash it just if anything

:mad:Had one of my 32gb micro's crap out on me today. Of course it was my more valuable to me card. Popped it my laptop to grab some files for a new Novena flash only to get a "must be formatted." Fired up testdisk 6.13 to have a peek at the partition before panic set in, just to find it detected as 32mb. Was a genuine Sandisk. Not impressed. Can't for the life me get the partition repaired. :( I'm fine with taking the data loss now, but can't get it to format. Going to try HP Drive Key Boot Utility once I borrow someone's WiFi in the a.m.

i read a thread here in the forums, cant post the link though, "sd card becomes lil slower when the memory is almost full or completely full..

btw go for class 10 which gives 10Mb/s r/w speed...class 2 is very slow...

so even if the memory card is 8gb class 10 it will show some performance..but 32gb class4 will be fine..but at some times u will feel it has become rather slow.." i didnt see if you mentioned what class the SD card was. hope this helps a little.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tenchi71:
My genuine 32GB SanDisk MicroSDHC UHS-1 Class 10 card did the same thing almost immediately after I got it in Septemeber. It eventually died after two months of use. SanDisk RMA'd it, and I'm waiting for the replacement. I'm expecting that the replacement will also die... I think our phones is killing these SanDisk UHS-1 cards.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mv1luv:
This thread is defeinetly interesting. I originally had a patriot 16GB class 10 (excellent card BTW), as I began to run out of storage I decided to buy this sandisk ultra 32GB HC1 supposebly read/write speeds are better than class 10? Wrong.. my speeds dropped even with tinkering with system tuner/ SD settings didn't seem to help much.. I have screenshots somewhere of both cards tested and compared.Well besides that One month goes by and my device kept trying to randomly read and scan the card as if I just turned the phone on? Games and apps wouldn't start saying app not installed? Eventually the card crapped out asking for a reformat, luckily I backed up the card before it crashed. I sent it back to Sandisk they RMA'ed me a second one I'm using now.. going on two weeks no issues so far. I'm thinking maybe there's a bad lot out there?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Castle:
Hi there!

I noticed that I only get into Bootloops after acitvating the a2sd script. I tried the following roms:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1912187

and

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1945441&highlight=flicker

The problem arised with the first after one day, and didn't go away, and with the second one a couple of times, I hope it will be stable.

So, is there a possibility that the a2sd script does that? I have a class 10 card with ext 4 second partition. Also, is it possible to switch scripts or just remove one?

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobode:
For some reason i never got A2SD working properly on any ROM. Either it wouldn't activate at all, it would delete all apps randomly, or it would cause strange errors such as bootloop.

I tried lots of different ROMs, but now I generally avoid all those that require you to activate an A2SD script and instead go for those which have built-in dalvik to SD.
[HTC Rezound] sdsubball23:
I've noticed that when my Rezound's txt message to a particular person has a large history of txt's, it takes longer to send the txt. I once backed up , then deleted all the txt's for one person and afterwards when I txt'd them, it was sent fast. But once the txt history gets large, it sends the txt at a slower pace. Also the phone's dialer loads slowly when there's a large history of calls stored, but I just deleted the history today and it loads faster.

Does anyone know why the history of txt's/calls causes a slowdown and lag? This phone is supposed to have large specs with 1 GB RAM, 16 GB onboard storage + 16 GB SD Card, 1.5 GHZ dual core S3, but for some reason a large history of txt's and calls causes some slowdown and lag.

Does anyone have a solution to the problem without having to delete history?
[HTC Rezound] Obaterista93:
I've never experienced that, but I've always had my Sms capped at 50 per conversation. A friend of mine had roughly 1,700 messages in one conversation and was questioning why here SMS app was slow. Sometimes it's just a lot to hold in memory and render at once.
[HTC Rezound] bik2101:
i've seen the same issues. although in my experience, some roms deal with it better so i don't think it's necessarily a hardware issue, more so bloated software.

maybe I should limit the msg size, I don't know

I am on stock gingerbread still, so I wonder if that also is a reason.

Hi, does anybody know where to get extra theme's for LGhome3?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] wildsky:
I think that this site is what you need

http://www.downloadonline.info/2013/02/23/lghome3-theme-download/
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Abu Nazir:
I apologize in advance for my ignorance, but what exactly is the LGhome3 and what will change if I use one of the one's that where linked above me? I see there is LGhome.JB4.apk and some others. I think i have an idea what LGhome3 is, but i guess im not exactly sure. Lol. Thanks in advance.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] gjgcomputers:
LGHome3 is the version of the LGHome Launcher that as far as I know, LG make it for ICS and partially upgraded with the 4.1.2 upgrade (It just add some wallpapers and some basic changes to the widgets). The LGHome.JB4.apk that you saw was a port from somebody in the community to make it available for 4.2 since the other versions FC and wouldn't work properly. Currently that port works partially and for 4.2 and FC when you try some things.

You can also see another version of the LGHome in the market called Simple Home by LGElectronics ( http://goo.gl/7eAVz ) and I think it was the version 2 since it doesn't have an app drawer, don't came with the widgets and it's compatible with Froyo 2.2.

About the themes you were looking for, LGHome has themes since version 2. Some carriers like AT&T block all the themes (I don't know why!) or only left 1 or 2 in their deploy, but they could be found at the Korean and Japanese ROMs.

Looking for a LGHome port to 4.2 I found some themes that work at http://goo.gl/bjjjr

Also found this other page where there's a link to download 10 themes for the LGHome at http://goo.gl/mKeIm

Please take note that to those themes to work properly they have to be installed in the /System/App folder (Need root access) and not in the /Data/App folder where the apps normally install when you use the installation wizard opening the apk directly. The links I provided previously have a very good tutorial of how to install them in a way that they work.

Anyway, LGHome is a very good launcher but if you are looking for another experience about themes and changing the appearance try another launchers like Nova and Apex that will give you a very Nexus 4 feeling and are very good saving battery life. Also you can use Go Launcher that have a lot of free themes. Or if you want to make huge changes or get very different experience check buzz launcher or MiHome that have some really good themes and some crazy stuff.

Go out there and try them all and every time you want to try something different, have more than 1 working launcher installed just in case and make backup of everything you overwrite in case you damage something.

Good luck.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ALpHaMoNk:
For the past few days i have been racking my brain trying to figure out what went wrong.

For some reason I can no longer connect my phone to my computer to transfer/move files. it acts as if the drivers will not take. when i check the device manager it reads SAMSUNG_Android with the yellow !

I have reinstalled lastest drivers from Samsung site, removed all drivers and tried from Kies software/ rebooted pc and phone countless times. tired my laptop where it use to always work and same results. One this i did notice was at some point i got an error on my internal sd card and that i should format it. I backed up all files via ftp formated the internal sd and tried again.. all with the same results. I have also tried 3 different cables.

PCs both windows 7 one 32bit the other 64.

Phone e4gt rooted FI27, everything else stock

All and Any Help greatly Appreciated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Teknician:
Here it comes!!

I'm hoping that I'm wrong BUT, that is exactly how my EMMC brick started. Let us know if your phone just shuts down and the only thing you will get is a blue light. There us nothing you can do then but take it back to Sprint for a free replacement. I couldn't figure my USB issues out for maybe a week and then it just died when i plugged it in to transfer photos I'd just taken 30 seconds before it died. Lets hope I'm wrong but I'm writing this with my new phone ate the exact same symptoms with my previous Sammy. Try to get your internal memory backed up now! Boot your CWM and mount your external USB. I wished I'd have.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dberend:
Try a brand new cable and see if that helps. This phone seems to be especially intolerant of if connections.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ALpHaMoNk:
Not sure what you mean by boot my CWM. External memrory is ok I can just pull that out. the internal I backed up with FTP was a pain but i did it. I hope you are wrong about the phone dying out on me :( I am sure they will give me a referb if that is the case.

I tried 3 different cables I have another in the car I will give that one a shot as well. Just odd how all of a sudden i started getting this problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ALpHaMoNk:
ok tried cable that i had in the car and same thing
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dberend:
I still say try a brand new cable. When I first had this issue I tried 3 or 4 old ones before buying a new one.

Today my brothers nexus s wouldn't charge except with one particular cable. I think that the cable and port are still within individual tolerances but together there is just too much play in the connection.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ALpHaMoNk:
took your advice and tried a brand new cable. I am stil having the same issue. anything else i can try? I tried with both usb debugging on and off still same issue
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dberend:
Damn, I was sure that'd work. I guess if you were able to back it up it's time for a replacement.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ALpHaMoNk:
i was really trying to avoid the replacement. it was worth a shot trying the replacement cord

Hi. I am using ICS 4.0.4 on Sprint s2. However, the GPS seems to have big problem. 1) it is really hard for GPS to get locked (even with data in open spaces). I used HTC Evo 4G before, which got lock in <10 seconds with Qualcomm GPS fix. 2) occasionally my s2 could get locked, but easily got lost and could never find the satellite again.

Does any more have GPS fix for this issue?

[Motorola Atrix 2] gcretro:
Hello,

I have an atrix2 on ginger bread all stock (

AT&T US

). I have not yet updated the the official ICS since that would prevent me from going back to GB.

Now, what are my (best & safe) objective options?

1. I see the thread about getting on ICS leak-1.

--1.1 ICS leak 1 the best ICS version to be on for now? What bugs does leak 1 have?

--1.2 What is leak2 if there is one?

2. Are there any other ICS based ROM's that's like tested and known good? I get overwhelmed with all the threads out there on Roms.

thx
[Motorola Atrix 2] eainyow:
Leak 1 should be the best stock. Leak 2 is the new kernel which prevents you from downgrading to GB I think.. Numa is the newest ICS ROM and its very smooth and nice imo..
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Actually it is not the kernel that is different and prevents downgrade. It is the updated bootloader that prevents downgrade to GB.

The kernel is still 3.2 on both leak 1 and leak 2/ota.

The bootloader is up from A0.72 on leak 1 to A0.73 on leak2/ota that is the culprit.
