[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okmijnlp:
Sony, LG, HTC (best to worst in that order). Seriously, don't go with Samsung.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesertHawk:
Too much hate on the Samsungs. In my opinion get the Galaxy Note II or wait for the Note III. If not get the Galaxy SIV. The features included in it are amazing and also if they are all going AOSP then what does it matter. New TouchWiz is great. Also are you looking at the Samsung Galaxy SIV GTI9505 or GTI9500

It will be very biased here.

I say Samsung Galaxy SIV is first choice, then HTC One tied with Xperia Z. Both were great phones.

I havent tried the LG but they never update their phones. But its you call at the end :P

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaggyjags:
If I had money to throw away I will go for the HTC one. I am assuming you have really high income to be considering moving from a nexus 4 to get any of those.

Just watch this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3uFFNNBhMc&feature=youtube_gdata_player

(HTC one is ~= SGS4 in performance)

Nexus 4 is a TOP phone performance wise...

So the question is: is it worth spending ~600$ for build quality, better screen, better speakers and better camera?

It's not for me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poyskie:
What features? You mean gimmicks.. Most people who buy the S4 just want to showoff and don't really use their phones features.and how can you say touch wiz is great its froyo-ish and lags all the time with the S4 and eats up to much space on the S4 storage
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exb0:
Here's my super biased opinion.

HTC One (because i've tried one yesterday, pretty good quality and it flies!)

Sony Xperia Z (because I used to love sony. Tried the phone, not much of a difference compared to the N4)

LG Optimus G Pro (because well.. We're using LG now aren't we? Not sure how their non-aosp devices would stand tho.)

Samsung Galaxy S4 (because it lags like a grand mother and i hate samsung for adding galaxy to the galaxy nexus and for their ****ty build quality.)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rohit02:
Where is the BEST of all - NEXUS 4. Its not in your Top phones list.

Looking at the 4 phones they all are same BUT Nexus 4 stands out and unique with its own pros and cons. :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangerforces83:
cause i have it

Because I already have it. I've even rooted it with cm10 , xenonhd(currently) and paranoidandroid 3.15. Its kind of boring. Maybe because last year I used to switch from different tablets and such. Literally have had 9. Im just trying to find a phone that won't get boring. Its really difficult

Choose a phone based upon what you will use it for. Games, internet, movies, texting and calls? A smaller device might be suitable for you if you only plan on using it for texting/calls or a device like the s4 for movies/gaming.

The nexus 4 is a great device, decent screen size, amazing performance... even on stock.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nethackker:
your list doesn't even have nexus listed in it. I wonder why you posted this question here!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nigeldg:
I'd say stick with the Nexus but if you're adamant about switching then

1. HTC One - unrivalled build quality, great performance, Sense is actually quite nice here, overall a great phone

2. GS4 - awful build quality and fugly TouchWiz but lots of development on XDA and outstanding hardware specs

3. Xperia Z - decent specs and great build quality/feel in hand (not to mention waterproof) but poor viewing angles on the display and if you're going to dish out money on a new phone you may as well get one with next-generation hardware rather than the XZ which is between the two generations

4. LGOG Pro - screen is too large IMO, cheap feel to the device and, being an LG, there's little chance of you getting updates and there's not too much development

I'm usinng retribation beta 4 rom and rafael 2.6 karnel

There is a lot of lags on my phone even i cleared all apps(official apps too gmail mail maps etc). I dont want any good visual or nice animations. I want only speed. Is there a good advice for that? It lags when i typing too its sooo annoying i hate that phone
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srt99:
i can understand that it annoys a lot when phone lags....

also creating a thread in wrong place/section annoys a lot of people around here..

so next time ask question in q&a section :)

anyways for your problem of lagging..

- disable all animation from display settings (will help in restoring few fps)

- make sure u are using correct cpu settings..

- make sure that max frequency set is 832mhz..

- for speed, preffered governers are, smartassv2, performance, scary, lagfree and set i/o shedualer to bfq or noop..

i use those settings..!!

- even if that doesn't help much then reboot ur phone.

- or flash cosmic mods by areebjamal

hope it works ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hyoz:
I agree with srt99... I just flashed Cosmic Mods and my phone is now a flash. I recommend this a lot.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] irblinx:
Just received 11 x IIs and haven't noticed a problem with any so far (seems to be a better screen than the iPaq 4150)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Mikee4fun:
The screen is garbage!!! I hate my O2 XDAIIs. The XDAII was such a better unit. Windows Mobile SE is very limited to software that you can use as well. Wifi works good, but thats about it. I had issues with mine turning on by itself! :shock: lol The SD cards half the time wouldn't read so you would have to do a softboot. Is the unit even capable of using a mmc card? I couldn't get my 1gb mmc card to work, but my 512 sd did work after numerous softboots.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Nighthawk:
Every program I have works fine on my PDA2K (same machine). Almost all of them had the pop-up saying it wasn't designed for this version etc. etc., but install anyway and they work fine.

My screen isn't garbage, not sure what you are complaining about.

I can't remember anywhere that it says the SD slot can read MMC, XDA IIs/PDA2K advertising. I know this is possible on some SD slots, but they actually mention it from what I remember reading.

Are you using a generic SD version or a major brand? I haven't had any issues with all the SD cards we've deployed (except one failed and had to be replaced by Sandisk). We have a mix of generic brands, Sandisk normal and Sandisk ULTRA (way faster than anything else).

Unluckily mine's screen turns also into hard yellow when looking at it in not 90 degrees :( Anyone has any ideas against this? Like some contrast tool? Maybe I'll make some picturesa of the screen from different angles and post them here, so you can compare them to yours...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] penicilllin:
the new blue angel device's screen is garbage.. just like the new Himalaya screens.. yellow hue.. not readable in any angle other than 90.. and a big contrast problem...

my i-mate has the best screen i've seen ever in a pocket pc.. it was bought more than a year ago and ive never seen any screen like mine..

HTC has changed their screen suppliers.. i have known before that the Himalaya screens are made by sony... this was the case when the xda II was first introduced to the world... but after that they changed the screen in order to make more funds...

the same story:

a small company will give you more features than a big company for the same money...

the small company gets bigger..

now the small company is a big company..

and we have to find another small company to get great devices :D

one word..

I'm using my old i-mate and ive sold my pda2k
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] tomiki:
Solution:

I'll buy a damaged XDA II for cheap, take the screen out and put it in my PDA2k, what do you think? :))
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] siliconaddict:
screen is absolute junk

Got my QTEK 9090 yesterday. Great little device. I like everything about it but 1 thing: the screen. It is absolute garbage :evil: !!! Speaking of yellow hue, this screen is junk. Amazing that they sell this at all. My 2,5 yrs old XDA I has a much better screen. Luckily this QTEK is a loaner (the Dutch importer couldn't deliver yet but promised he could, so we all got demo units for the time being).

I think we will cancel the order and look for something else. The only question is: for what :?: What other device is comparable to the QTEK 9090 but has a decent screen :?:
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] penicilllin:
this seems the only solution.. I'm ready to buy another Blue Angel and do this but where??

where can i send my two devices to change the screen...

another thing.. i don't think it's that easy to replace the screens... because i once sent an i-mate to ppctechs and they told me that they can replace SOME screens while they cant replace SOME.. so if HTC have more than one screen connectors for one model what do you think for two?? :lol:
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] siliconaddict:
Xda IIi screen quality question

Who knows if the new Xda IIi (also known as HTC "Alpine") has the same yellow hue quality issue as the HTC "Blue Angel" ? If not we'll abandon the QTEK 9090 and go for the Alpine.

Another reason apart from the outrageous screen quality is the slider keyboard. My colleagues are quite big guys with big hands and fingers. It's quite impossible for them to press just 1 key at a time with their fat fingers, so for them the slider keyboard is quite unusable. And since it adds up to the size of the device, why not leave it out we're thinking.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Cheddies:
Weird, I got my xdaIIs a few days ago and can see No discolouring at all, the screen is readable upto a near 45 degree angle, AND i am using a screen protector!, mabye it was just a bad batch, my screen is amazingly sharp

I had an old ipaq previously, that was slightly yellowy but not too bad, this is better
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] BarnOwl:
There is always compromises manufacturers have to make with a tft......

Yes, there is a yellow hue wich I don't have on my MDA II, but if I hold my Qtek 9090 outside in the daylight it is much better to read than my MDA II.

I think calling the Qtek 9090 screen carbage is extremely exaggerated.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] geoffreys_cadaver:
I also get the yellow-screen problem on my 9090.

However, the quality of the screen in general *seems* to be better than on all the 2020's in the office.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] penicilllin:
these "all 2020's" you talk about are from the "new screen devices" search for someone with an "old" 2020 and see how better his/her device is..

I've heard a lot about this daylight reading thing...

but that's nothing..

I didnt buy the pda2k to read it in the sunlight.. it's a pda which is in 99% you dont have to use at daylight...

still im searching for someone who is able to replace my old xdaII screen with blue angel device.. :D
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] siliconaddict:

My QTEK 9090 has been replaced today. And guess what: NO YELLOW HUE anymore :!: :!: :!: The new device has a great quality screen. Man, am I happy :P Happy happy joy joy :D
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Bassey:
Re: new QTEK 9090 with great screen

Yeah, for all those *****in' about their screens, you need to take your unit back and swap it for the latest batch (unless the store is still trying to get rid of units from the original batch). The latest batch seems fine. Loads of people are now reporting great screens, fantastic voice quality (mine is the best of any cellphone I've ever used), solid keyboards and good wi-fi. Though the bluetooth is still garbage and will be until the ROM updates are released.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] kj:
I'm about to purchase an i-mate PDA2k (couldn't get my older i-mate to work with the Sandisk 256MB + Wi-Fi SD Card). Still mixed feelings between the PDA2k and the whatever i-mate calls the XDAIIi (haven't seen it yet from i-mate). I have the option of purchasing the PDA2k from several places. How can one tell if it is from the latest batch? Serial Number? ROM version? Screen color identical to older i-mate?

Thank you again!
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HSD-Pilot:
Just charge your battery a lil bit (min. I flashed an sbf was 30%) and backup your internal sd card (it will get wiped).

Armans Rom should work well with this sbf, it's meant to run on it ;)

I never tried it, because I'm no fan of the sd card swap. But if something goes wrong, the sbf will always bring you back to Stock.

I Have A HTC Evo V Virgin Moble Flashed To Cricket Wireless And I AM Having Problems With iT And I Need Help

My Htc Evo V (3D)Fell On The Ground One Day From High And Fell Hard in The ground With A case The Case, Battery Cover, And Battery Got Off THe Phone After It Hit The Ground When I Checked It, it wasnt Cracked only the Front Frame Got Out A Little And The Battery Cover Broke A Little From The Top.

I Turned It On And It Seemed To Work Fine But It Heated Up Really Rapidly. Before I Went to sleep i Turned off the phone and left it charging all night. The next Day The Phone Didnt Turn On and i couldnt use it so i bught a used really cheap phone. 2 Months Later I Bought A new Battery For My Evo V (3D) To See If It Turned On And It Did But It Still Heated Up and I HAd Forgotten The Password So I Still Didnt Use It. After Like 2 Months from when i bought the battery I Turned it on and decided to Factory Reset iT and Everything Went Fine. I Thought The Phone Was Working Good (Other Than It Was Heating Up) Until I FOund Out The Wifi And BLuethooth Didnt Work When I Turn The Wifi On It Take Like 1 or 2 Minutes Trying To Turn On Then It Says Error And The Bluetooth Trys To Turn On Then But Cant Then Stops.

I Read A FOrum That Said When The Wifi Not Working it Could Be Because of The Contacts That Are Located On The BAck Housing But I Didnt Find Nothing On The BlueTooth

Before I Factory Reset My Phone My Phone WAs Flashed To Cricket From Virgin Moble, Rooted, Unlocked, Had CWM Revolutionary And IDK What Else Because The Person That Flashed My PHone To Cricket Put ALl The Things On IT After I Factory Reset It I Also Tryed Fixing The Wifi And BLuetooth By Relocking The Phone And Installing Stock Ruu

I Also Found Forums Saying That The Blutooth And Wifi Can Mess Up Becaause Of Custom Kernal But when i asked the person if they messed with the kernal they said that they didnt but i asked them like 1 year later so idk if they remember correctly

Any Help Will Be Very Much Appreciated
[General Questions and Answers] Nick Kash:
I'm sure someone out there have been through this. My S3 broke yesterday, I called Verizon and they are replacing it for free. Once I get my new S3 in the mail and activate it with the same number I was using on the other phone, would I be able to root it, go into CWM, and restore my backed up clockworkmod file on the new phone? Or would that cause some issues? I had a backup stored on my external sd card before the phone broke. Thanks in advance

My Infuse 4G.

It keeps bootlooping.

It will load the Samsung logo or the battery charger for two or three seconds and then it reboots itself until the battery dies.

I've tried putting it into download mode, since this has happened to me before, but to my surprise I can't even enter Download Mode at all.

I've connected my Infuse to my laptop but nothing is being recognized.

So ... I'm phoneless ...

I would like to find some way to make it boot. That way I could exchange it using the trade in offer At&t for a new HTC One.

Last thing I remember doing before the bootloops... umm ... I installed Fusion Messenger. I'm using the latest Beanstalk build.

When you put the battery back in, does the phone power on without you pressing the power button? If so, it means the power button is sticking. Check out this thread for more info. There are a few other threads in the Infuse forums that cover the same topic and they might have other repair options.

I found a permanent fix for this common problem here on xda:

- while keeping a reasonable pressure, tighten the screws again.

Hope this fixes it even if you don't have the exact the same issue.
