[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fracmo2000:
I was meant to upgrade last year, but held off to wait on the sgs4 (passed on the sgs3, stuck with my trusty sgs2). But was a little let down from what I've seen so far, from the photos it looks like a sgs3 (not a fan) but maybe in person it will be nice. So I tempted to jump ship for the htc one, started reading xda (As you do) and see posts saying the sgs4 might not get such great support from the usual suspects...that aint good.

So, if your reading this then you aint upgraded for similar reason no doubt...whats the plan? I mean, yeah I want those crazy specs, removable sd/battery...but stock roms and broken custom roms? Im seriously tempted on the htc one, however its a bit of a double edged sword, looks awesome, drop that **** and its ****ed. My sgs2 barely has a scratch.

Whats your thoughts sgs2 owners, Im still on ICS and not kept uptodate with the goings on here. I dont doubt there are awesome devs here, but if the major players dont take an intrest in the sgs4/exynos...its it doomed?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merquise:
Do you wan't it just because you like to have last piece of tech and don't use even 5% of it..or you need it for better productivity in bussiness?

If first then i don't see a need for upgrade..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fracmo2000:
Dont get me wrong, I love gadgets, but i botched a screen replacement on my old hd2 (which is now my bros) so if I cant repair I will get a new one and give the sgs2 to my bro (sad to see the hd2 go tho). Anyway, Im more intrested on your thoughts if you were going to buy a new phone sgs4 or htc one? Like I said, Im not as into the whole modding thing as I used to (still like to flash custom roms tho), will the big guns not supporting the sgs4 make much diff? I would of thought so, but maybe there is talk on here?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merquise:
Well i don't think i will get a new phone, but if it happenes it will definitely be either HTC One or Nexus 5..no need to give Samy money anymore..they have gone the Apple road
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fracmo2000:
Yup, it seems they try to much and forget the core aspects. Just saw this, not sure how true...maybe the uk will get the qualcomm after alll (still not sure if that will make a difference with CM)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fracmo2000:
What are the rest of your guys thoughts on the sgs4 vs htc one? I hate the thought of touchwiz for 18months, I would much rather vanilla android...but not sure about the htc one.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkyG82:
How about a nexus 4? I'm gonna check when Google i/o is. Should give a good idea of when the next nexus is out.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manmikey:
My S2 contract is up next month and before its release I always planned to upgrade to an S4, however since the S4 launch I have decided to go for the HTC One.

I think the S2 , especially with jelly bean is still a great device but I will pass it on to my son to replace his rubbish galaxy ace, the S3 I think will be Samsungs peak device, the S4 seems to be more of the same, meh, no real innovations on the hardware side but lots of new and gimmicky touchwizz features. I feel as already mentioned by an earlier poster, that this feels a little Apple like...... buy our phone because it's a Samsung and because lots of other people buy it..... rather than....buy it because it's a great phone...

There are, to varying degrees, innovations on BlackBerry z10 (The hub and gestures), Nokia Lumia 920 , (baked in funtionality, low light camera and the live tiles of WP8) and The HTC One (gorgeous design, Zoe, Blinkfeed, ultra pixel camera) all that interest me as an enthusiast/nerd that the S4 just doesn't seem to have.

The Z10 looks great but it's to early in its life for me to spend 2 years without so many essential apps that may or may not arrive on the device. Android has really matured with jelly bean and so for me it is the HTC One

Seriously S IV probably dosent need any custom ROM. It rocks as it is , stock. We on the S II need and want all this custom ROMs / kernels because we want that extra power and smoothness. No need to worry about developers not suporting it , in my opinion.

Now if you have money to spend buy the octo core one and be sure that at least two years you wont think about another upgrade.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shachar911:
if you are ok with your ver now, dont do it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HANDSY:
I'm of a similar opinion, S2 running well but if I can get a deal I'll upgrade. Torn between S4 and xperia Z. S2 was my first smart phone and I do like TW but I hear Sony is more developer friendly and I like the choice and freedom of flashing custom ROMs. Both phones will meet my performance requirements so will come down to cost eventually.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alen1901:
I would say buy nexus 4. But, if you like Sammy based roms, you can go with Samsung s4. Im using sammy rom on s2 and i would never again flash aosp/cm based roms only because of screwed drivers. Cudos to devs to what did they do but.. True project butter is still better. I would buy s4 only because i dont mind using sammy based roms, like neatrom lite. And snapdragon version of s4 might have better support because they push their sources out i think. Wait until May to see nexus 5, then decide. :)

---------- Post added at 07:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 PM ----------

Go with s4, xperia z has really low specs for that kind of device. And not that good display, its like washed out, also UI is not smooth, it stutters a lot. Better buy nexus 4 instead of xperia z.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaiserbenn:
Shamesung: no way. Not again... Sony, Moto xphone, nexus... Or apple. Will see what is the best for me in the following months.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HANDSY:
Decisions decisions, next nexus also deserves serious consideration. Just not a fan of the black and white Google stock look.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alen1901:
You mean black and blue. :p you can flash or apply themes to make it like sammy for example. Thats why nexus is great. If i find great opportunity to buy n4 till May, i will, and if not, ill wait to see what nexus 5 will have. But right now, from devices on market, i would choose between nexus4 and s4. Htc one is good too, but that huge speaker grills on front? I mean come in, like some kid played with design. Also i saw 1080p video sample on youtube. It stutters like hell. Sure, it has great audio and its the best in low light capturing, but.. i personally dont need phone to shoot at night or in the dark. :D so, its s4 or nexus4.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HANDSY:
I agree, I'll probably sign up for a 30 day sim only rolling contract and run my S2 until prices stabilise and all phones are released and fully reviewed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mckeowngoo:
I haven't made my mind up yet but it's going to be a toss up between the Xperia Z, BB Z10, HTC One or the next Nexus 5.

Specs and power are a consideration but....

Xperia Z because I miss reading a book in the bath! Possible development support and good noises coming from Sony but the same could be said for Samsung a few years back.

BB Z10 as the OS intrigues me.

HTC One for its beautiful design, BOM and form factor.

Nexus 5 for the custom appeal and all round Googleness. Strayed from the Nexus line with the S2 so might go back.

Not considering the S4 at the moment as it looks more like a S3 upgrade than revolution. Samsung played it safe, almost using the Apple model of next model releases and I don't like the end result. To paraphrase a song, "here is the new phone, same as the old phone".
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HANDSY:
Even the best phone is only the best for 6 to 9 months before its superseded. I am even starting to consider the S3 as it's price is bound to drop once S4 arrives.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urmel1960:
My SII is now used by my wife, and I got an III last year :)

The SII is still attractive and running well - I went away from stock rom to CM10.1 latest nightlies. It is running perfectly and has now an up to date Android OS - Good value for the money I think
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HANDSY:
Good to know thank you, is the development scene active over on the S3 forum? Just had a quick browse through and there is a decent selection of custom ROMs available.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Levo Harkonnen:
Well, some people like to customize their phones and abhor the bloatware Samsung adds to all of their phones.

I like the minimal vanilla Android Nexus experience for example. If you like the bells and whistles of Touchwhiz, be my guest. Just know that not everyone shares your opinion on the S4 "not needing any custom ROMs".

---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------

Personally I like the SGSII as it is, the only thing making me want to upgrade is the specs on new phones.

I've been looking at the Blackberry Q10, it seems to offer everything I need for now. The thing I care about most now is battery life.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R3M768:
the gs2 is a great phone, im pretty sure i would have upgraded to a gs4 if it didnt look similiar to the s3, i guess i will have to wait for google's i/o to see if they reveal another nexus or if not then the nexus 4 would be an ideal choice
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olokos:
I've got a serious problem. My xperia play is pushing the power button itself like crazy. I took it apart and I've blown some air under the plastic chrome button and problem was solved... For a few clicks... Do I have to replace the clicker (not plastic chrome button) in the xperia play itself or what should I do?

Thanks for any useful reply.

what's up guys !!!

i made a partition using WCM on my sd card (1gb external memory), then i installed link2sd ....but the problem is when i tried to move apps to external partition they moved to only to sd partition ... is that should happend or there is somthing wrong ?

bcz a don't wana lose my external partition ...
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] anonymooos:
Some help here plz .... link2sd still donc reconize the SD/EXT storage and it uses sd card as a strorage partition .
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] speed_bot:
use simple apps2sd or s2e..
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] :
I installed CM10.1 of erikcas, of 10.3.2013. I tried apps2sd and it don't work for me. SD Card is partitioned.

I don't tried s2e.

Link2SD works for me, but I wait long time for work on system after boot phone.

What is the best for install of this 3 apps on CM10.1 of erikcass?
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] anonymooos:
apps2sd are an andipaandent app to creat an ext partition or it helps in associate with link2sd ??
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] anonymooos:
for me i used link2sd anfter making a partion with cwm but the second partition still out of fonction and the storage is only on sd card not on the ext partinion
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] :
Apps2sd is one program, and link2sd is the second program for same purpose. If yuo installed script for one program, you can't install

the second program. If you install script for apps2sd, you need install apps2sd. If you want install s2e, you need instal script for s2e.

If you have installed script of app2sd, and you want install s2e, you must reinstall ROM. For flash ROM you need go on wipe data/reset, wipe cashe partition and in advanced, wipe dalvik cashe, before and after flash ROM.

For partition SD Card I use MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition. I can it do with USB Card Reader and I can it do that I connection

phone and PC.

Before I copy all what I need and it paste on HDD. After I remove all on SD Card with MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition.

After I make FAT32 primary partition and ext4 primary partition.

This is program for Windows:

any guess about its price ?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] michael_ta315:
probably gonna be around 49.99 or more up to 99.99, I don't see a point of paying more than 100$ for a charger case while i could get a 40$ juice pack around with me

ZeroLemon battery cover for LG Nexus 4

OP did they say it was for a 2250 battery? Reason that I ask is that on the Amazon link bit stated something less...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] theexgov:
I recall seeing three different capacities, presumably different sizes as well.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ibarra21:
I don't know how a battery case will work with the nexus 4. Battery isn't removable (consumer-wise). So will it be a case that plugs in to the USB port? Or..

Will it be a chargeable case, with Qi Wireless charging capabilities? *dundundunnnnnn*

I don't even know if that's possible lol :silly:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kfleal04:
ZeroLemon battery cover for LG Nexus 4

As it turns out if you go to the full web site it shows a battery cover for 2100, 2250, and 2600mAh. But if you keep on looking it also has a battery for 8400mAh! But I think that you need to have the cover of one of the previous ones I mentioned roads this.... I will check with Zero Lemon tomorrow. Even so I think this is a great product. As for if it will work with the quick charge dock. I would assume so, but I will ask as well.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Agera:
Oh definitely interested!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] androidfoshizzle:
I don't see nexus 4 on the website
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Ranaquajaro:
Neither do I but it might be because I'm on the mobile version and not the full one. I'll check once I get home
[Nexus 4 Accessories] vikramdhani:
There is not even a picture of the case as of now
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Shark87:
Looks interesting. I think I'd consider one, although to this point I haven't had much trouble getting through a full work day with my N4.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] noizy1234:
I contacted them, they said it would be released in mid may
[Nexus 4 Accessories] diggy_:
oooh, Ill get one for my woman for mothers day. She doesnt have a nexus so I guess she will have to give it to me :D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Note_2:
Because the case and phone would be one unit, rather than having your phone connected to a brick with a cord. Those power backs also lose about 15% of their charge getting it intoyour phone aswell. By the way with zerolemon- great company. Mah advertised is very accurate and they care about the quality of their product. They delayed the release of their 9300mah note 2 battery because of a case fitment issue by a few months.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] spookykidmt:
is the 4200mah also being released in mid may?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ziddey:
Unless the unit for the n4 will have you removing the back cover and battery, it'll be subject to the same losses. Same idea
[Nexus 4 Accessories] michael_ta315:
My thought exactly. I think our nexus has the "perfect" size. Just big enough and small enough, I don't want to always hold a brick in my hand with an external battery. I'm using my nexus 4 naked and happy with it. Screen and back protectors of course :p

I found a great case that doubles my battery life. It's actually invisible and it didn't cost a penny. I think it's called Franco kernel or something
[Nexus 4 Accessories] steveruv:
glad your phone is still BOSS, oh wait...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Sauveur:
Hahaha touché

Actually phone hasn't had any problems for a few days so I cancelled the insurance claim. But seriously Franco is great
[Nexus 4 Accessories] steveruv:
Whats the word on you getting a replacement Nexus 4? Maybe I need that Kernel, hahahaha.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Sauveur:
Well after I complained about the first refurbished phone, they sent me a second refurbished phone which didn't have any issues. But still, it was refurbished. I couldn't notice any difference between my original device and the refurbished one so I am planning on sending the refurbished phone back to them and getting my $150 back. It is virtually impossible to get a brand new Nexus 4 through assurion. I talked to 4 levels of people at T-Mobile and still, no luck. I can't complain, though, it is in their terms of agreement.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] steveruv:
Damn, hope they hook you up with at least a better refurbished N4. Good luck mang!

BTW, cool to see that you can laugh at my post. Wasnt meant to be serious. Too many people take things to heart.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] abe in space:
Honestly, I think it may be too much to ask. Well-trained and informed customer service employees costs money and resources that small, low-margin manufacturers like ZL may not have. If Griffin Technology, Otterbox, or InCase had a similar problem I'd say it wasn't. But with a company like this I think you have to give them a little slack.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Sauveur:
I emailed them yesterday and they told me 2 weeks.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Lap823:
Hoping this case would still have some protection. The nexus 4 needs the protection.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Sauveur:
The Amazon placeholder (http://www.amazon.com/ZeroLemon-Jui...TF8&colid=14MHMI99JO2HR&coliid=I3BSO840GR1QOY) has been updated. It seems as though there will be 5 options:

1. 2100mAh battery case

2. 2600mAh battery case

3. 2100mAh Rugged battery case

4. 2100 mAh removable battery case

5. 2100 mAh removable Rugged battery case

Any idea what they mean by removable battery case? Why would you want to ever remove the battery from the case, considering the whole point of putting the case on is adding battery capacity?

Mugen is announcing the same thing:

https://plus.google.com/+mugenpowerbatteries/posts/CahaVjrP18M

I would only consider one of these various brands of extended battery units if it came with a case with full front and rear protection, but I don't see that happening, and other company's cases surely will not fit. So maybe I will look into one of those external batteries.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] scream4cheese:
That's awfully a lot of juice! I have a feeling it'll be as bulky as the Galaxy S3 extended batteries. It looks incredibly awfully and a eye sore.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] androidfoshizzle:
idc about looks or if its bulky, atleast ill be getting a 1-2weeks of battery without charging
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Eagle1337:
dont' forget the power conversion loss..
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Sauveur:
Do you think the case will have usb capabilities, or will you have to take off the case if you want to plug the phone into the computer?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ziddey:
Hmm, the mention of regular vs removable has me hoping one of them is a "hardcore" remove-the-back-glass kind of deals.

Otherwise, you're looking at using the usb port or Qi (yeah right). Hope that answers your question. Maybe they made it so you could easily flip off the usb plug without taking the case off. But I can see that causing issues with inadvertent unplugging / getting caught in stuff.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Sauveur:
What do you mean, remove the back glass deal? As in, actually taking off the battery door of the N4 and placing a larger battery inside of it?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] sideslippy:
I think its going to be a case with a removable battery, like it comes with a removable 2000 mah one but you could buy a 4000mah one and use that instead. That's what I understand from the descriptions, only time will tell.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Sauveur:
But that must mean there will be a bunch of extra space in the case if you're using a smaller battery as opposed to a larger one..?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] shenery:
Every week the bastards say 2 weeks will be available. Just a generic message I think. Wish they would give us a decent update. Sick of carrying about a charger all the time even with Franco kernel.

Problem is with this phone its just too damn good. Only use my laptop for Photoshop and printing its too easy to do everything else on the phone
