I'd go with either the S3 or Droid RAZR Maxx. Me personally I'd go with the RAZR (that's the phone that has the 32 hours or w/e battery life right). The S3 has nice features but I don't like the saturated screen.

If I didn't have the Note, and was on VZW, I would definitely got for the RAZR MAXX.

That phone is the king of battery life, and the rest of the hardware is pretty decent, too.
[Off-topic] TheSkinnyDrummer:
Razr Maxx can't top the Note 2 for battery life, sorry.
[Off-topic] Gizmoe:
I just picked up the RAZR maxx HD and it is really nice. Like that it isn't trying to be a phablet at 4.7" and the battery life is incredible. Hardware is as fast as it needs to be and 4g LTE runs at cable speeds. All around happy with my choice. My old inspire had the worst battery and other issues so I decided to stay away from HTC this time around. Was eyeing the Droid DNA but believe I chose the better of the two. Still got 13 days to change my mind.

And correct me if I'm wrong but the note 2 has a 3100 mah battery with 16 hours talk time. And the RAZR maxx HD has a 3300 mah battery with 32 hours talk time. I'm currently at 1 day 2 hours on battery with over 6 hours of screen on time with everything on and screen at 40%brightness and still got 26%battery left.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dangerruss:
I just bought this GS3 off of craigslist and it was rooted with paranoid android 3.1 which didn't have hands free activation so we couldn't activate the phone. when I brought it home I tried to flash the stock 4.1.2 rom from freeza in order to get the phone activated. it softbricked the phone and I lost recovery mode with it. I have tried twice to unbrick using odin and can't get it to work. someone PLEASE HELP.

update. after several failed attempts with this method

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypmqJbZqOaU&feature=youtube_gdata_player

my final attempt turned it from a soft brick to a hard brick. the phone will no longer turn on for any reason. my computer does for whatever reason recognize if it is plugged in or not though so I'm getting something.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Speedin07si:
If the phone won't boot into anything but download mode i believe Odin is your only option.

Make sure it's a good usb cable and try different ports on your computer.

tried the method in the video several times with different usb ports and different usb cables. still don't have recovery mode and can't get past the samsung screen. I've even tried a couple of the older firmware files just to see if it had something to do with that. does samsung not have a bootloader to sideload a custom recovery from an sd card? this is the first sammy I've owned. I'm used to htc.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dangerruss:
my last attempt turned it from a soft brick to a hard brick. wtf!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GiantJay:
The phone is a SPH-L710 correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dangerruss:
Yes. The model number is sph-l710. Would Samsung's warranty cover the phone since I'm not the origional owner?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dangerruss:
The last attempt I used the files from the video link. All the previous attempts were with two different files from Samsung-update.com. the guy I bought the phone from won't answer his phone either although it is next to impossible to ever get a refund from someone off of craigslist. Should have waited for the phone to be activated to pay him.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
Yeah, scams are becoming more-and-more prevalent on Craigslist (although, it was never the most trustworthy place, in my opinion). It's becoming best policy to meet the person at the Sprint Store and have them activate the phone before you pay them.

The optimistic side of me says you should get the phone repaired (JTAG repair should work for you, this site has good reviews from XDA members). But the realistic side of me says that the person who sold you the phone probably reported it stolen to Sprint. As far as I'm aware, though, there's no way of checking without getting your phone fixed.

I'm sorry you got screwed on this. But you can take this as a life lesson, and insist on getting the phone activated before paying them money.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dangerruss:
I don't think he reported it stolen. Tha part checked out at the store. The tech at the sprint store couldn't figure out how to activate the handset on paranoid android 3.1. A stock Rom should have fixed the issue but for whatever reason I screwed up recovery when I wiped the internal memory. I've done that several times on my nexus tablet and soft bricked it but was always able to fix it. I have no idea why the Odin method wouldn't fix the issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CrfEpic4g:
Can't really classify this as a scam he bricked the phone himself so it his problem the way I see it at least.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dangerruss:
I wouldn't call it a scam. Just a series of unfortunate events and very much in line with my luck lately.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
If that's the case, the $60 JTAG repair might be exactly what you're looking for.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dangerruss:
There has got to be a way to unbrick it myself. I'd rather not pay someone to do something I know I can do myself if I can find the method.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
The JTAG repair involves shorting something on the motherboard. A search on Youtube might give you directions. When it comes to electronics of this level, I know I don't trust my skills enough to solder. But if you're comfortable, it might work for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dangerruss:
Shorting the resistor is pretty strait forward and doesn't require resoldering anything. Just don't have the jig for the phone. One of the sprint repair facilities in my are is working with me on a replacement. It is open enrollment atm for all protection plans and it covers waranty work. Lucky me. I'm only out an HTC EVO 4g LTE instead of that and a gs3.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raphaeldovale:
Hello,

I Was trying to install cyanogenmod on my LG Optimusl5 and I was quite succesfull. I saw the screen working like a charm and the phone seems to be running ok. But, after something about 1 minute, the phone boots. This happens all the time when the system starts.

Another information is that this started after I unblocked the phone and BEFORE I installed the cyanogenmod (in other words, this boot occurs even in official room).

So, I tried to recover my bootloader typing really fast the command described in this post (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38053729&postcount=1159): dd if=/sdcard/bootloader_backup.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5. But I made this after installed cyanogenmod.

When it restarted, the smartphone shows the following message:

"

Secure booting error!

Cause: boot certification verify

"

I tried some recovery options like volume down, power and (after) home button, volume up, power and home button, volume up and down, power and home button. Everyone of this actions redirected me for this screen.

I tried to use KDZ but it does not found my phone.

The question is: have I bricked my phoje? Can I recover it? Without jtag?

Thanks in advance.

Android 4.2 keyboard

Stock 4.2.2 with Swype-style gestures. It's very good, with just a few things niggles, e.g."I want to go too" always comes out "I want to go to", and you have to manually select "Too" from the choices. I the original Swype I think you could swirl back on to the "O" and get "Too"

Other than that it's ace. The old tap tap tap keyboard looks really old skool now. (iPhone users)

Perfect Keyboard Pro. It's fast, completely customizable (down to even adding custom backgrounds), allows you to adjust and tweak everything. It's a paid app in the playstore, but well worth it. Plus you can use keyboard skins designed for better keyboard, smart keyboard, and perfect keyboard so plenty of free skins out there.

If you like to flash custom roms and change up screen dpi, you just backup perfect keyboard settings, tweak the key height, and the keyboard adapts well in landscape and portrait (so no tablet version needed). I've tried them all, this one is my favorite all around. Swype is fast, Swiftkey is amazing, but none offer the customization of perfect.

Swift Keyboard... It comes with a flow option which is better than swype.. It costs around 100 Rupees after 1 month of free trial but worth it...

Typical rooting issue

1. Check Software Version: Has to be E97010o

2. Read the sticky under Rooting.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2006946

3. Follow the instruction to the letter !

4. Check the comm. between the PC and phone. Most of this are due to cable issue, driver not setup correctly/wrong version, adb problem etc.

5. Knowing ADB commands is extremely helpful.

You can flash any firmware that belongs to your region and include your country's csc.

You can then update the same via software updates in phone settings to the latest available for your area/country.

Also try flashing the latest available for your region to avoid too many updates available.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RichAzure:
My friend handed me his samsung galaxy SII believing that I could fix his problem. He rooted it, and started going ROM crazy. Needless to say he broke it. I thought I could fix it, maybe it was a simple bootloop issue or what have you, but the phone won't even get recognized on my computer. I can set it into ODIN mode, but it won't get recognized by my computer, even though I downloaded the samsung usb drivers. It won't show up in ODIN, and It won't enter recovery mode either for some odd reason, so there's no chance of me loading something through his SD card. Whenever I turn it on normally it's stuck at a battery screen with a circle as if it were loading the battery, but it never finishes.

I'm pretty sure it's bricked, but I want to be sure before I tell him to buy a new phone.

The only information I can get out of it is that it's a SHW-M250K
