I'm due an upgrade now, and can't decide which to upgrade to. From what I've read so far, it's looking like the s4 would be the best one to go for, but does anyone know if the 8 core version will be out in the Uk?

Which one out of the three would you go for and why?
[General Topics] Mou1908:
I'd take Htc One for its materials, I never liked the plastic of the galaxy!! Alternatively would take the Nexus 4 for its price and updates;) Sorry for my bad English
[General Topics] iamezio:
HTC One IMO , i think HTC did a great job with this one .. the amount of detail and little thing like the speakers for example just making it more attractive then other devices like the N4 and S4 .
[General Topics] StuartTheFish:
Must say I do like the sound of the HTC one having front facing stereo speakers.

[General Topics] StuartTheFish:
Looking at the reviews on GSMarena the HTC one camera is terrible compared to the s4. But other reviews for the one state it's good?
[General Topics] StuartTheFish:
Anyone got any experience with the HTC one camera yet?
[General Topics] Lifehacker7:
It is crapppy.

Couldn't even win against note 2, forget s4. ( see the video by pocketnow on YouTube.)

And the octa core version won't be available in UK. It's only snapdragon 600 quad core.

[General Topics] jmbillings:
Depends what's important to you.

Want updates first and don't want to spend much? Nexus 4

Want premium build quality and solid build? HTC One

Want expandable storage and swappable battery? S4

*disclaimer: I have an HTC One. The camera is fine, but I came from a Galaxy Nexus. If all you do us upload to FB/Twitter it's more than good enough, and Zoe is actually quite fun.
[General Topics] Sanjay:
I saw all of these specs, s4 was fine...
[General Topics] StuartTheFish:
I just read that Samsung have ditched their stock keyboard for swiftkey4, is that right? That's a chink in the armor then, as I need the t9 layout and can't stand that swiping rubbish. I could always install another keyboard, but the user dictionaries never seem to work as well for some reason.
[General Topics] alpha-niner64:
This is the only logical response. They're all great, buy the phone based on your needs.

Nexus 4 is the best bang for buck but lacks LTE if you care for it.

HTC One has the best battery life but limited storage options

Galaxy S4 will the best performing phone (camera, benchies) overall but the priciest. IMO, it looks very ugly in comparison with the other two. Honestly: It looks like a bar of soap.
[General Topics] abhinav quietly brilliant:
Galaxy s4 for it's rock hard performance
[General Topics] plziom:
the thing is we really don't need performance that s4 have, htc device have some problems with rooting, custom roms and stuff soo nexus 4 all the way :D
[General Topics] StuartTheFish:
The one's performance won't be far off the s4's performance since it's the same processor and gpu. Granted the s4 has been overclocked to 1.9ghz instead of 1.7ghz, but that's easily sorted if you root it. They both have 2gb of ram too, although the s4 has ddr3 instead of ddr2, won't make a huge difference though, so I think it'll come down to which ui is the most bloated.

It's only the octa core version of the s4 that should be a decent improvement, but that's apparently not even coming to my side of the pond.
[General Topics] StuartTheFish:
Well I had a play on a note 2 today and was impressed, the display was brilliant and touchwiz wasn't anywhere near as ugly as I'd remembered on earlier Samsungs. So, decision made, a black galaxy s4 will be at my door on launch day! Thanks for the input guys! :)
[General Topics] shivam5609:
nexus

well nexus 4 is d best of alll:good:
[General Topics] StuartTheFish:
The nexus 4's hardware isn't as good as the other two, and it also seems to be the least sturdy when dropped.
[General Topics] DimonXX:
I'm more like the Samsung. Even despite their poor support.
[General Topics] bexx32:
s4 has 5", htc one "only 4,7" at the same size

samsung has the new edge to edge :)
[General Topics] vapotrini:
You can't go wrong with any of them imo. I'm going for the One though. Neither of the others are going to touch it when it comes to call quality and loud speaker play back, which are both critically important to me.

Btw, love the way samsung fans take the one bad review of the One's camera and blatantly disregard the over 20+ positive reviews by other sites.
[General Topics] StuartTheFish:
Never said I was a Samsung fan, in fact every previous android phone I've had has been by HTC, but plenty of terrible pictures taken with the one was enough for me, from several reviews and also numerous pictures on the forum. The loudspeaker is important to me too but since my sister has an s3 and a mate has a note 2, I've already heard first hand that their loudspeakers are both way better than my sensation one anyway, so the s4 should be the fine.
[General Topics] speedy56:
Galaxy S4 IHMO

I think Nexus 4 hasnt as good hardware as these two guys.

Beetween One and S4 - HTC is better looking, but in alimost any other area S4 is better
[General Topics] orti13:
nexus 4 for me .. All people are talking about performance and in my opinion the way to have the best performance is by using pure android .. And I think 1080p display on a 5 inch display it's only a source of battery drain

[General Topics] sam45:
I would go for the nexus 4

Vanilla android is awesome, and in case you would want to root/put a custom rom on it, a nexus is always eayser and better supported.

And the specs are great too ofcourse
[General Topics] jamaiquino:
S4
[General Topics] Juice3250:
I personally don't want to deal with a skin like touchwiz or sense and definitely not blur, so I will be getting a Nexus device for sure. I only wish the Nexus 4 had expandable storage or it was available in a 32 gb version like the Galaxy Nexus was. I have until December when my VZW contract ends to decide.

In the time being, though, I would take anything to replace my Motorola DX2.
[General Topics] Quinncy:
S4 more powerful
[General Topics] Logano520:
S4 is going to be the ****.

Removable battery and expandable memory is a big deal too.

And it's Samsung... What more do I need to say?
[General Topics] maxtcee:
htc one dropped the ball in the screen size imo they should have went with the 5inch screen like the dna but overall its one bad biytch
[General Topics] shadowcore:
S4 for expandable memory,removable battery,AMOLED screen(Could be seen as a bad thing) and gimmicks.

One for looks, build quality and dual speakers.

N4 for stock rom and custom rom support.

Both the S4 and One will get google editions that will probably have stock android in them and both of them have developer editions that have unlocked bootloaders.

If you have money, get the S4 or One. If you dont and happen to live in the 8 countries nexus 4 is offered, get the N4.

If you dont live in those countries, dont bother with the n4. Outside google store, that thing is very expensive.
[General Topics] jimmng:
as I see it, the nexus 4 has always been my favourite in the design & aesthetics. the HTC one has the best looking material and form factor, while the s4 is an all rounder. all the software on 3 devices would be generally up to date. S4 would probably have the best performance.

Personally I would choose the nexus 4 cause its much more unique and nice looking. It does the job and people don't care what nifty functions your phone has, they would only judge by its look at first glance.
[General Topics] tommason1968:
I have the htc one and I absolutely love it. There is quite a bit of negative opinions about the lack of sd card and battery but here's the truth. The battery lasts me all day with a more than moderate use, some of it surfing the Web where the signal isn't so great. On board storage. The S4s sd card is already half full out of the box. I have a ton of apps installed and still have a little over 20gb left. Not to mention that with the htc you get 25gb of drop box with it. One more thing this phone always runs smoothly.

[Transformer TF300T Accessories] gravis502:
Hi i use asus usb ethernet adapter with a asus usb converter. When i m connected to the internet via cable, it isnt possible to plug in a usb drive. İf i use a usb hub, can i use both usb drive and ethernet adapter at the same time ?
[Transformer TF300T Accessories] cmendonc2:
Depends on the total power consumption of the adapter and USB drive. If it exceeds a certain limit, you may need an alternative source of power for the USB hub. In theory it would work though.
[Transformer TF300T Accessories] gravis502:
by the way i wont use the other usb portexcessively. what i want to do is unlup the ethernet adapter when i need toplug in usb pendrive for small copy operations. i will buy a hub and test it
[Transformer TF300T Accessories] cmendonc2:
I wonder if the USB port on the dock can handle a hub, since it does have a source of external power
[Transformer TF300T Accessories] GrippenTech:
It should be able to handle a hub. Normal USB 2.0 only supplies 500mA but since its the battery it might go in the 700mA-1A so either way, you should be able to use the USB hub no sweat. Try it out, see if both work at the same time. I would not try to plug something else like a USB HDD or DVD drive but, you know, its ok. Also, keep in mind that the two are fighting for bandwidth of the USB 2 so it will essentially slow down both processes.

---------- Post added at 08:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 AM ----------

Also, even if you are charging the TF300T dock, I don't think the USB power is passing directly. I think the battery is being charged by the wall, then the battery "charges" the USB devices. So if you are plugged in to the wall or not does not matter. If the devices draw too much power you might need to power the hub itself directly from a wall adapter (or hint hind other battery)
[Transformer TF300T Accessories] NeoMatrixJR:
as long as the linux kernel understands and has drivers for the hub you'll be fine (which should be most of them). Like others have said, if you go over the power limits of the tablet's USB output you'll need a powered hub. Since it sounds like you're using this statically in one place you should be fine keeping a powered hub near your ethernet cable. If it's just a USB thumb drive and not a hard drive or optical disk drive you should be fine with an unpowered hub.
[Transformer TF300T Accessories] cmendonc2:
I think so, I was able to plug a USB Keyboard into the dock port, then plug other things (mice, etc) into the keyboard's USB ports.

If so, you can design your own tsk file using the Microsoft Theme Generator. Note, that you CANT upload the tsk file directly using this tool. Instead of this, save the tsk file to your pc and than copy this file to the \Windows directory on your mobile.

Hi guys im sort of new to the android scene and im having problems with my nexus 4, i downloaded the newest cyanogenmod nightly and flashed it, it messed up part way through. i rebooted the phone and now its just stuck at boot animation. i have wiped the cache the dalvik cache and done a factory restore.

i have tried reflashing the nightly but it stick stops part way through, i want to add the new rom to the /sdcard but i dont know how, its not showing in android file manager and i have tried using adb push command.

im sure its a noob question but any ideas?

P.s sorry i know there are posts similar to mine but tried them and wont work
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
If adb push won't work in recovery you might try flashing the factory images with fastboot. System.img is really all you'd need.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cosmoskymaster:
Ho everyone, I've been having a great time with root box. I was a bit discouraged about using an aosp rom(because of all the extra features that Samsung roms have (ultima rom :)) but the multitasking lag that I suffer from it was gone the moment i changed to an aosp rom. I miss some things about samsung roms, but otherwise I quite happy I did the change. But the only thing that I think is the best for me is the Samsung camera app. It has far superior quality and functions over the aosp one even though its faster in opening. But it lack the low light conditions that the Samsung one has(and don't tell that they has the same quality because it doesn't)

So to sum it up I wannna know if i can have the Samsung camera app over my rom( root box for the ones who skipped my intro) or something that I could do to use that camera. I know that there are some persons out there that could have the same question so i hope this can help them and that somebody gives any idea, thanks.

So I royally screwed up somehow while using one of the one-click root packages available elsewhere on this forum, and now I can't get the phone into download or recovery mode. No matter what key combo I use, when it's not connected to USB it will boot to the "at&t world phone" screen, then continue rebooting over and over -- never moving past that screen. When it is connected to USB, it shows a black screen with a little scrollwheel and then a battery charging indicator.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1batt1:
Given that we don't know where you are coming from or where you wanting to go... after following the above advice to get into download mode you might want to get a one-click that includes gingerbread bootloaders. That is if you haven't been on an official version of gingerbread in the past and you want to go to gingerbread or beyond in the future. If you want to stay on eclair or froyo then it's not needed but if you want to play around then get the one with bootloaders.
