[Droid RAZR M General] dreamjaeil:
Having phone for little less than a month, Razr M definitely has that portability factor over some of the bulky phones like Razr HD Maxx. Downside is that the battery last about 10-12 hours with normal usage (2.5-3 hour screen on time). I hear it gets better with more usage but I haven't noticed much difference. Compared to iPhone, I would say that these two phones are on equal level spec wise if not better. It's just that like any other android devices, you can tweak (if you know how) to make it better, or worse (if you brick it). I would definitely spend some time carefully reading threads already made in this forum as well as other android forums about android devices.

You will miss the Simplicity of Apple.

U will miss the iPhone look and style, along with the home button

The iPhone 5 is Thinner u will miss that if you cared

iPhone has warmer External Speakers

The display of the Razr M is protected by Frame if laid display Down. (iPhone will be Screen to Surface)

The Razr can expand Memory to 64gb via MicroSD, Try that on the iPhone with out breaking ur bank.

U can remove ur Sim Card with out a special tool (Tool need or Credit Card if you have Pudgy Fingers)

Alot of apps are now made for both devices.

Better battery like compared ot 4 4S its (alot), compared to a tuned iPhone 5 its 25-40% better in my opinion.

Universal MicroUSB Cables.

LED indicator is a nice touch.

Size is the same both are very portable.

Screen is about the same. Razr is Little bit bigger, but usable space is the same due to Virtual Keys.

The iPhone has a way Sharper PPI is denser

The iPhone has true colors, Razr M has over saturated colors.(Looks only good in games but pictures the iPhone looks better)

The iPhone has a better Cam Front and Back. (If you are one of these Photophyles...)

The iPhone has more of a prestige

The Razr M is heck alot cheaper used.

All and all i am comfortable with my Razr M and i tried other mid range android devices, but i always went back to iPhone 4

This one is the device that made me cut the Apple lines =)
[Droid RAZR M General] Yehudah:
I offed my iphone for the M. I had a 32GB 4 since they came out. I loved that phone, and really wanted the 5. When I played with the VZW mockup, I was a little shocked - it was basically an amped up 4.

At that point, I picked up the GS3 and the M, but the GS3 was too fracking big. I've had the M since the week it came out. It is truly a great phone. It easily compares with my 4, and I've since played with 5's and I like mine much better.

The screen is crisp and fast, the network acquisition is quick and painless, the controls are easy, and the battery is better than my 4's.

All in all, I love this phone as much as my 4, and much better than the 5.
[Droid RAZR M General] Koxu:
I really appreciate the feedback. This helps me out a lot
[Droid RAZR M General] Germanese:
The question is what are you looking for and why are you planning to switch ?

I was looking for best bang for the buck in the same size factor as the iPhone 4S and 5

There are only 3 and only 1 of them are offered in the US, which is the M. Now there are 4 phones that have the same size.

But the M is the most power full one next to the Razr i. The other two are less power full.
[Droid RAZR M General] Koxu:
Battery

Form factor

And the last is hardware specs in comparison tothe iphone 5
[Droid RAZR M General] Germanese:
Same size as the iPhone 5

Better battery Life

Very Solid, feels less breakable, Gorilla glass better protected.

About the same performance.

iPhone has better LCD

iPhone has better or same performance.

iPhone has simple GUI
[Droid RAZR M General] Outta:
You won't miss anything about the iphone , the statements made were opinions if you think simplicity is better don't get a SMART phone, and last i checked androids are simpler as you can customize them to the T in every which way possible, I much prefer aapp drawer over having apps cover my home screens you don't have every program installed on your computer do you? no there listed in the program menus and as far as missing a home button im pretty positive every android has one and as far as performance the M is plenty fast read reviews you won't notice a difference actually the M displays web pages faster then the iPhone, look up reviews the iPhone is garbage com paired to the newer androids

Oh and I phones don't have widgets or Android beam :)
[Droid RAZR M General] Germanese:
Yeah like he said I am pretty happy with my phone.

I came from iPhone 4 , was using a 4S as a test run from my gf sister for 2 months.

Ended up with this Razr M I am personally very comfortable with it and don't miss any thing of the iPhone and its retarded Lock Down, no more JB after 6.1 is another big reason i jumped. The reason i stuck with Apple was facetime, but Tango/Hangout/Skype got it down to simplicity, and thats what i needed, a compact phone with Facetime, Internet Messenger (iMessenger worked but laggy). Which was achieved by Tango or Hangout for video, and Google+ and Messenger+ to replace iMessenger, and keep the phone # ppl on the normal Text part. Alot better than the 2 color BS by iMessenger.

But about the simplicity it depends who u talk to. (I like tinkering to Android Jump it was)

We young folks can edit the Android to our needs. So making it simple or complicated is up to us.

Older folks like Your parents on the other hand get confused or are overwhelmed by this. So less is actually better in this way.

For example my parents tried Android but it gives them too much freedom so getting around the phone was extremely confusing,

its how their brain is wired, they dont get the multy tear menu system and skinning and outside menu inside menu. they just want it there.

Hey everyone I've been with my lg nitro HD for around a year now and I'm finally making the switch to the note 2 tomorrow but I was hoping that if you guys have found any hardware problems (like stuck buttons, plastic cracked, etc.) When you had first bought your note that you could post them here so that others could try and brainstorm help and also that I could look out for those problems.

It's not being rude..if you bothered to even look through the post here...you can easily see some issues that some folks are having..and other issues folks are just way to anal about..that's the way it always is.

The phone is a damn good one...and has a good tract record...but every manufacturer of every phone has some bad ones get out..That isn't being rude...but just stating a fact of life..

other portals have an all in one know issues sticky. and yes, what you said, WAS rude.

Being factual. .is not being rude..and this is XDA....not some other portal..so learn to use the search feature...

Here you are expected to search before asking. ..and it is considered rude and lazy if you don't.

Sorry to talk to you as an adult...but you can expect the same response from others. .if you don't.

Mac
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] the2rrell:
I agree with Mac Here.......Its how XDA is ( and is that way for a Reason )

but onto the hardware problems......i have read threads about big to small issues, some like stated above are just over reacting to certain things that really seem to annoy them....lol the creaking thing seems to be the smallest biggest gripe of the phone so far. i dont have that problem either, maybe its from them thinking pressing the screen should be some sort of fore arm excersize.

def check the threads out, what your asking is that a group of people out of the community take time to rewrite what they have already written in other threads as their gripes and make a list just for you so to speak. and one person will never be able to tell you what others are experiencing with the phone so just scroll the Q&A and Gernal section for thread titles and most likely you will see the problems people are having. just like when i clicked on this one THINKING that you had actually found a hardware problem.......Mislead i was when i graced the threshold.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mad383Max:
Creaky number seems exaggerated by about 1230984602139460821391. I saw 5 in the 1 thread I saw. So let's multiply by 4 in case I missed a thread with that complaint. That gives us 22 hardware issues. Wait lets just make that 100 instances for each of the complaints you are highlighting. That makes 300. Have yet to see any thread on a device where you will see that many complaints. But I am not omniscient so lets say bump it up to 1000 each. What is the percentage of faulty equipment out of the millions sold?

The sample of total users of a device here on xda are inconsequential to the number of operartional/defective devices in the world.

Odds are you are going to get one that is fine so why worry about it. You get a bad one take it back. Simple. That is what the warranty is for.

The Recommendation to do a search both here (and in google) is a good and correct answer....... also the recommendation to use your warranty is also excellent. YOU may got a bad unit. I have 6 units on my desk all are perfect..... so maybe you got the luck of the draw (bad luck in this case).

In either case, this thread has run its course....... so.....

[General Questions and Answers] captainjames:
Hey,

After messing around using tasker for a short while, I managed to write a script that would take a picture using the camera of my nexus 7 upon one failed unlock. I then investigated further and decided i want to add a feature that would send me that picture via email as soon as it is taken.

Is this possible?

I tried myself and managed to get tasker to write out my email but only with the file name (not the attached picture) I then also encountered the problem of tasker only preparing the email to be sent and not actually sending the email!

Any help appreciated!

Thanks

James
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ravid1323:
i don't know if it is possible, or someone can make such of thing, but it's a case/cover, with rear camera, that in fact, will work and behave like in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRgH7JdCL7M

don't know if there is one, if someone thought about it, or if someone already work on it
[Nexus 7 Accessories] OliverB95:
That would be a big cover, I think...

Sendt fra min Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ravid1323:
another idea for how it will work and build

i also thought about another thing. it will make this more small. it's a camera inside kind of a cyrcle or ball or etc, that can stick to the nexus 7, and connecting with him with the NFC. but think that it will disable the NFC (unless there is a option for more than 1 nfc device connecting to him at the same time)

and anyway, i don't think it will be a big cover. it's even can be very thin. it should only include camera module, usb/micro usb cable, and the camera chip that he connecting to the camera module. if we will find such webcam that his camera module+his chip will be thin enough, so this will be thin more than you think, or any other one. the only one problem i can see here, it's his potential for high price.

Try another camera picture app like Camera360 or Vignette. Found those answers from this site:

I guess just use those apps when talking on phone then just use the regular (better) camera app while not.

Yea. The root explorer text editors make a backup file of original in case you bork something. You can just leave it there. Can also save a copy of the new file to SD card in case you have to do a fresh flash or flash another rom.

[HTC One S] vj_dustin:
Hey guys.

I have a due upgrade in Jan'2013 and i have shortlisted down to One S, Nexus 4 & SGS2 I9100 (Not the G Version).

So keeping Nexus 4 availability issues and defects aside, I compared SGS2 and One S, and One S was a clear winner in every area.

Now the problem is that I'm in India and most probably we have S3 units around here.

So is there any way I can recognize if the handset I'm buying is S3 or S4 equipped, by looking at the box before i buy it.

Looking at the dev thread, I can see lots of support for S4, but very little for S3. Also S4 >>> S3 in terms of performance.

So any way to identify a S4 without making the purchase (looking at the box), would be really helpful.

In short- How to identify if the device is S3 or S4 before i buy, i.e. without opening the box?
[HTC One S] Spastic909:
No gs3? Rather have that
[HTC One S] dr_rick13:
if you're in USA or Canada, they only carry the S4 versions so you're good.
[HTC One S] vj_dustin:
No contractual sales here. So an unlocked carrier GS3 is currently among the priciest phone here.

My budget goes only as far as INR 24000 i.e. $440 max.. =)

& I'm in India, the dumbest nation when it comes to Tech! :/
[HTC One S] Spii:
If you would like to flash custom roms... then you shouldn't buy a Htc one s. There aren't a lot of developers around that support this phone.

If you are happy with stock android then buy the One S. It will get Jelly Bean (4.1.1) soon and it isn't as old as the SGS2.

Edit: To identifie wich processor is inside the phone look at the specs that are written:

- 1,5 GHz Dual-Core is Snapdragon S4

- Dual-Core is Snapdragon S3

They hid the frequency (1,7 GHz).
[HTC One S] vj_dustin:
Ok so if the specs on the box say Dual Core, it's a S3, and if it mentions 1.5Ghz it's an S4?

Thanks for this!

And I do flash custom roms and I saw roms like CM10 and viper and these much are enough!

Also in this price bracket One S seems to have the upper hand over all others :)

[HTC One S] Spii:
I was talking about the one s with s3 processor.

If, you can get the s4 version do it!

Good luck and have fun with your new phone xD
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
The box states the cpu clock. If its 1.5Ghz its an S4, if its 1.7Ghz its S3.

On my box it says the following(S4):

Model: Z520e (I guess the E is for europe)

CPU: 1.5Ghz, dualcore

... And then the rest of the specs with is irrelevant.

But what you want is the one with 1.5Ghz CPU, not the 1.7Ghz.

Thanks for the help guys, saved me from getting a lookalike :p

Will keep in mind when I make the purchase.

Re: [NEW][GUIDE][ICS] How to Root/Unroot Your I9100G Via Stock Recovery
