Well as already pointed out... I would say wait till the 14th... see what the s4 has to offer, then change your phone...

Personally, considering what you said in the first post... you don't want ANY of the extra things the s3 offers over the N4, but you ARE a fan of what the N4 offers which the s3 doesn't... being kindof vanilla android... being a cm10 user, although the s3 will be supported for a while I'm sure, the amount of time it takes to iron out all the bugs due to not having the Exynos source code, atleast for me was extremely frustrating... with the nexus your always ready to go with any custom rom... with the occasional bug here and there...

But if the s4 again has a exynos, the same dev difficulties will stay... not to mention the super delayed updates... so I personally think, wait for the S4... if it doesn't wow you then get the N4 because it seems its better suited to your needs...

As for getting a nexus 7 instead... google I/O is pretty close... its time for a new nexus 7inch tab so you will most likely see it then and avoid a buyers remorse getting an outdated tab now... rest assured there won't be a new nexus phone just yet... its too soon...

So wait a week and make your decision...

[General Questions and Answers] crackrk:
Not sure how much this will pertain to you, but here's my $.02.

Personally for me I like having the newest version of Android. While some of the bells and whistles of the themes are nice eye candy, I love the vanilla Android with allowing me to install those nice add-ons. While I don't mind loading roms, I don't want to be forced to do that in order to get the newest version within a reasonable amount of time (<a month or two). I bought the galaxy nexus on Verizon the day it came out. First time I ever waited in line before a store opened for a phone. I was so excited. You may or may not know this, but Verizon has taken the nexus name and completely trashed it. My hopes and dreams of having a phone that would always be on the cutting edge of Android was completely trashed because Verizon needed to "perform ample testing to insure the highest quality software", or some BS like that.

Now, I know what you're going to say. You've got a nexus, you're here on XDA, ROOT THAT THING! Yes, I have. I had the bootloader unlocked within 45 minutes of owning the thing, rooted 10 minutes after that. The problem is I bought a nexus to not be forced to F around with roms, unless I wanted to. Verizon has forced my hand to mess around with roms if I want the newest Android.

So, after that long winded answer, I personally would go with the N4 unless you can wait for the next nexus device. All I know is my next phone will be another Nexus, which I'll by directly from google and tell Verizon to go F themselves.

Best of luck.

Edit: I see you were mentioning the N7. I own one of those, bone stock. Did unlock the bootloader and rooted just to put on the circle battery mod. I love it, but personally I'd buy a N10. The 7 isn't that much larger then my galaxy nexus and I wish I had a slightly larger screen. IMO no need for cell-based service when you can teather it to your phone and get the same thing. It's a great device which has replaced taking a laptop with me on vacation. I bought the dongle thing to connect my SD card to it also, which is great for uploading pictures from my camera.
[General Questions and Answers] karan1038:
You should buy nexus 4 as it has largest development community and it is the phone which recieves software updates first and its a google certified phone

It has 4g capability

It has no expandability

But a really good camera

And is for only 430 usd

PLEASE HIT THANKS IF I HELPED

Your inputs have been taken into great consideration over this decision

And as far as waiting for the GS4 I am a Samsung employe not that they let us know the details of the device before it is released but Im on my 3rd Samsung phone I think its time to switch it up besides my set father just lost his iPhone 5 to a tragic toilet accident that could really use a new phone so i think its time to "grab the bull by its horns" and finally get my hands on that sexy Nexus 4.

Good deal, best of luck on your next phone adventure. I have to wait until the end of this year before I can begin mine. Hopefully the next nexus device will be released and may include an LTE radio, though I'll still tell verizon to go F themselves. Unless of course I can buy it from google directly and stay on verizon's network. I know, I can hear your laughing from here. :good:

Im do for an upgrade as well soon..im thinking about htc one.. The only thing holding me back is the fact of how much hassle it is to root it.. One reason why i had got the s3 instead of the last htc one.. Before my s3 i had the evo 3d. It was such a pain in the ass to root.. When i switched to s3. I had it rooted in like 25 min.. I really liked that.. But i do miss htc platform..im on sprint so the nexus 4is not offered.. They did come out with galaxy nexus. I am excited to see what the s4 holds.. I dont know..lol
[General Questions and Answers] d.vanes:
I hear the s4 will be released unfinished. Something about the CPU overheating so it getting something less powerful and curved glass is not ready so its getting regular glass. Plus no superamoled because they get that display to do full 1080p
[General Questions and Answers] killbubble:
R: [Q] Im Just not sure what to do here S3 or N4

Well if you really do not care at all for all those cool features that make the galaxy s3 (and its awesome screen) somewhat great better than other phones....really theres no point in waiting for the galaxy s4 uts probably just gonna be faster..

You might as well get the nexus 4.

I have a feeling it would make your life more of a pain compared to the s3 but u sai u dont care about the cool specs...so go for the cheapest, no point saving up money ;)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maccolt:
Thanks for the quick replies. (Christiaan91 and pasanjay)

I will perform this procedure (flash siyah kernel v5.01).

Just a few more questions, the procedure is the same on the other thread? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

And when I speak of procedure, it would be this one?

Step1: Make sure your SGS 2 is not connected to computer via USB and switch it off.

Step2: Start Odin 1.85

Step3: Start the phone in Download Mode (Hold Volume Down, Center button and Power Button Simultaneously).

Step4: Plug the SGS2 to the USB and computer.

Step5: Look for the yellow indicator in the ID: With That section Confirms That All Necessary drivers are installed on your computer. (If the yellow indicator does not switch on, you will need to install USB drivers on all your computer and Samsung KIES Also to check the option in setings, Wireless & Networks, USB Setting.

Step6: Press the PDA button. Select SIYAH KERNEL 5.01.TAR. Press START. This will launch the update. at the end Should reboot the phone. Do not worry if this takes longer than usual to reboot, that's how it Should be.

Finally i just need to wipe cache after root?

Thanks again and sorry for asking noob stuff.

Most roms come with an S-ON kernel installer so you don't need to use flash gui or you can fastboot flash the boot.img through adb.

Dude,,,Mrlakadaddy asked you if you can fastboot commands, If so , flash a recovery via fastboot(adb) from the recovery you flash mount your sd card from recovery, put a rom of your choice on it and flash away, since your bein a ****, ill be a **** too, its not rocket science.

wipe data

wipe cache

wipe dalvic

flash reboot.

SOLUTION: Turns out there was state of the art malware in my root. So I got a new phone (another EVO 4G LTE).

Hey all, need help yet again.

I recently bricked my phone. I have been running the DirtyRacun S-OFF RUU for the past 3 weeks. Recently, my phone crashed and wouldn't turn back on. It plugged it into its charger and the orange light came on, and turned on when I pressed the power button. About 4 hours later I unplugged it from the charged and started to use it. 10 minutes later, it crashed again. This time it wont turn back on. I have tried pretty much all known methods to debrick it. Here's what's weird: my computer does not recognize it at when it's plugged in. Device manger does not report the phone as QSUSB DLOAD at all, even after holding the power button for 30 seconds. The phone is pretty much dead, it doesn't turn on. My next step is to try this method, but I dont know if I can do it when my computer does not know my phone is connected:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bpdamas:
Does the orange light come on again when plugged into the charger? If not, it might be a hardware problem and nothing you can do about it. Mine had a similar issue where the motherboard shorted out after plugging it into a car charger. Sprint tried to tell me there was water damage and I would have to file a claim through Asurion. Luckily I have a Sprint guy that helped me and worked it out. Ultimately, you could have a hardware issue like that and your phone could be fried.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MaL.euroniC:
If you take the phone into a Sprint service center and it won't turn on and the water sticker is OK, they should be able to order a replacement. I'd recommend a corporate Sprint service center, not authorized 3rd party.The Sprint store locator website will tell you the difference, just the one that says "Sprint Store", typically the 3rd party stores are worthless. I do Sprint customer service/ tech support over the phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TiberiumFusion:
No, the light doesn't turn on when plugged in. It was plugged in and charging through its stock cord and AC adapter, when the light went out. I have read other posts and cases where the light doesn't come on, yet they unbricked their phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TiberiumFusion:
I was going to take it the the Sprint Store near me to get a replacement if I cant fix it otherwise.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bpdamas:
If it doesn't recognize it when plugged in then it is probably fried. Mine did this as well and the motherboard was fried. They told me it was from water but my phone never got wet. Also, they said there was no water sticker on it. I only tell you this to be aware of what they might say.

My moneys on that phone :eek:visiting too many porn sites.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TiberiumFusion:
I sent Lookout an email dealing with the malware issue. I'll put the transcript here:

Hi,

Your app is malware. (Let me explain)

First off, let me say I loved Lookout. It helped me clean out garbage on my phone multiple times. But...now it is responsible for wrecking my phone. I have lost two phones (Both were HTC Evo 4G LTEs running Android 4.1.1) to Lookout Mobile Security. They both died from malware corrupting the battery usage of the phone and attempting to draw at least 20 volts, draining the battery at all times. The phones wouldn't even charge or turn on. I had to have both replaced. When talking with my Sprint associates and some research I discovered the issue. Many Sprint users were reporting bricked phones while Lookout was installed. I recently learned of this while replacing the second phone. Apparently Lookout carries a some rootkit or botware that is responsible for this. Of course it can't do anything without root access, but that can be allowed. Both of my phones died within one month of enabling Lookout as a device administrator. I am a heavy developer and had unlocked and rooted my phones upon purchasing them. Therefore the combination of root access and device administration allowed the virus into root of the phone. I highly doubt that you have intentionally inserted malware into your software, and so you must have had your app corrupted somehow. I bid you to fix it before your 13 million users all have their phones bricked. In the meantime, I will not be using Lookout at all, and will only return to it after the issue is completely eradicated for at least a year.

I don't know if any other of your apps are malicious, but it would be wise to check them. If you don't believe me, then try it yourself. Root and unlock a fresh, new phone. Then install Lookout on it. Enable it as a device administrator and the phone will be dead within 2 months. Is it possible for you to recover my cost of $100 (each phone replacement cost me $50 each).

>Information you may need for tracking down the problem:

->First phone died within 2 months (around early-March, 2013) after enabling device administration (around mid-January, 2013).

->Second phone died within 1 month (on May 1, 2013) after enabling device administration (around April 22, 2013).

->Both were running the latest version of Lookout at the time of being bricked.

->Both were running Android 4.1.1, HTC Sense 4+, HTC Software Version 3.16.

Sincerely,

A Disappointing User
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] strazzere:
Right so... Again - what "state of the art root malware" are you talking about?

On a side note - I run Lookout with DA enabled on multiple rooted devices, none of which have run into this issue. Though this is a sidebar, I'm more interested in what "root malware" you're talking about. Even if your phone was rooted, we do not doing anything with "root" so this doesn't really make sense as to what you are claiming?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xlxcrossing:
Root has nothing to do with hardware that's a file system term which I guess could be deemed as software as well. Anyhow the kernel controls hardware level stuff even if you had a corrupt boot partition I think there are ways around that. The battery draw claim doesn't fit unless some external element is involved.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RobertBohannon:
I used look out on my OG and realised after a month or so I really didn't need it. Lets face it if I get a virus on my phone a factory reset or new flash is on order anyway. On top of that I know I'm a flashaholic so the longest I will run a Rom is a month before I move to something else.
