[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
I have no hatred towards Samsung at all. I've had three of their phones in the past two years.

I just have a couple of issues with them lately. They are acting arrogant lately and just like the company they have been fighting with.... Apple.

They have heard about the Touchwiz lag and they won't do anything about it. Ever since they put Jelly Bean on their phones, the performance issues are there. They won't optimize for Jelly Bean for some reason.

I laughed because I wanted to confirm for myself what I already saw in videos with the Note 3 lagging like the S4. So I went to an AT&T store, and there it is... The same lag and stuttering as the S4.

So to say the Note 3 is smoother than the G2 just makes me laugh. But to each their own of course.
[G2 General] barondebxl:
Damn lagged like the S4? That is unacceptable to me. If my note 3 lags like this its bye bye and hello G2. I cant wait! I need to know cause i have been on the fence between both devices for too long.
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Yeah man, I mean it might be a tad smoother, but you will still see the occasional home screen scrolling lag, stuttering in the enter and exit animations in folders, stuttering in the enter and exit animations from certain apps, etc.

Extremely unacceptable to me, but you may have a different experience or lag threshold. Good luck!
[G2 General] barondebxl:
With a S800, 3GB of ram and android 4.3 i have zero tolerance of lag. We'll see though.
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Cool man, let me know how it goes.
[G2 General] EcPercy:
I am curious about the screen brightness for those that own the G2. How is the screen in direct sunlight? Is it bright enough to see? How is the auto-brightness? See more below concerning my issues with S3 auto-brightness.

I am currently using the S3 and I have to say that Amoled is pretty much useless if you are outside. It "feels" like samsung could have allowed the screen to go a bit brighter, but even at 100% brightness you can barely see it when you are outside in bright sunlight. I haven't been impressed with the auto-brightness with this phone either. It seems like the phone brightness should be lower in the dark and brighter in the daytime, but at night the screen is burning my eyes and I have to manually set the brightness.
[G2 General] aznmode:
My note 3 barely lags compared to my g2. But the to answer the post before me. The g2 is awesome outdoors. It kills my s4 and note 3.
[G2 General] WPWoodJr:
When you set auto brightness on the G2, the intensity of brightness can be set with the slider. So if you tend to like a bright screen, set the slider to the right, and if you like a darker screen set the slider to the left. The auto brightness function will adjust the brightness within the constraints of that parameter.

U don't need any costume ROM. They don't offer smart stay, smart video, dual shot camera and video, qslide and quick memo. U basically loose a lot of great features only the stock ROM has.

Yeah is the screen tech. Smasung looks good but sucks outside. LG G pro and G2 have by tests the best screens on the market right now.
[G2 General] barondebxl:
Will do.
[G2 General] mike2518:
Yea, g2 is much much better than the note 2 I had outside. I'm sure it's better than note 3 also
[G2 General] barondebxl:
Unless you've used both that is just an opinion not a fact.
[G2 General] atsfrnd:
Of course people here would say the G2 is better than the Note 3.. Things would be different if you post this on the Note 3 section :D

I was actually considering the Note 3 above anything else, but then i realized that the Note 3 that got in my country is the Octa version, not the SD800 one.. And it's 35% more expensive than the G2..

So i favor the G2 over anything else, it's a steal.. While both HTC One and S4 priced above $700, i got the G2 for $600 unlocked!
[G2 General] andrawer:
It's limited to the apps that Samsung has blessed. They did expand the list for the Note 3 BUT of course rooting will allow addition of other apps (at least on the Note II I owned for a while)

---------- Post added at 06:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 AM ----------

Same here but have till tomorrow (9th) to decide. Found a demo unit at BB and liked the Note 3 but I remember how I got tired after 6 months constantly maneuvering it around due to its' size. I just happen to like the Note's screen size, multi-screen capability, and even the pen for scribbling ideas, plus a few of the sensors like temperature and the pedometer.

Seeing the 4x4 Touchwiz UI after using the G2's UI for a while did kinda make me gag. How the "professional" reviewers can prefer the Touchwiz over G2 is beyond me?

probably will stick with the G2 since it's performed, for the most part, beyond expectations.:laugh:
[G2 General] sweets55:
Think my last 4 phones have been Samsung. Just wanted something different so got the G2. Only day 3 for me but thinking it's a keeper.

I can't remember where I got mine from but I got a USB car charger for my XDA II or was it IIs and the USB cable connects to the cigarette bit - which means that I can just change cables and use the Exec USB cable in the car charger.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mainstang:
I'm about to upgrade (through sprint) and I'm trying to decide which to get.

My pros and cons.

Note 3:

Pro- 5.7 screen with no software buttons, expandable memory, (maybe care about battery and stylus)

Con- Camera with (no OIS), does not operate on all three bands of Sprints LTE (actually just one band)

G2:

Pro- Able to use it in an armband when jogging, better camera, LCD@better PPI, Tri-band LTE for Sprint, new to me android skin, IR blaster(I would probably use this more than a stylus)

Con- Dev support compared to Note 3, software buttons (could be fixed with PIE after rooting), cluttered notification drop down (my opinion), no SD

Not trying to start a flame war just want to get opinions.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] force70:
The G2 looks to be a really nice device bit the lack of expandable storage is a deal breaker for me. If the G2 had 64g internal maybe I could live with it.

I like the large screen on the note plus the killer battery life which even if its marginally better than my N2 will still be amazing.

My vote N3 all the way.

Note3 has an IR blaster as well FYI.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] americasteam:
Note 3 hands down. G2 is just another phone that has nothing that sets itself apart other than being new.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mainstang:
Did not know about the IR blaster.

Also I posted in both the G2&Note 3 forums so I could get opinions from both sides.

so guys i had just flashed beanstalker and was having a good time liking it suddenly goo.im an app said i had a rom update so i thought cool ill just flash the update well i flashed the update and now im bootlooping fastboot and recovery dont work ive used omap flash it went through without an error but didnt help. nexus toolkit (wugs) didnt help and samsung galaxy nexus toolkit recognized it as adb with a serial but said offline beside it. its showing up as samsung mobile mtp device with an error code of 10 cannot start in device manager also shows up as android adb interface without one. ive tried everything i could think of any help would be realllly appreciated as ive spent some hours now trying to find a way to fix this device
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cupfulloflol:
When you say fastboot and recovery don't work, does that mean you can't boot into them? Or that when you tried to use fastboot to flash an image an error occurred?

Have you tried OMAP flash?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gears177:
yeah i cannot boot in them i tried omap flash i mentioned it in op it went off withhout a problem but still bootlooping
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cupfulloflol:
If OMAP flash can't get you back into something that works, then the title of this thread is probably correct.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gears177:
damn thats unfortunate i guess its too ebay now to sell it for parts
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackhand1001:
Take your battery out. Then put it back in and hold volume up and down and power. That should put you into fastboot mode. I am not entirely convinced that your fastboot is completely fried. Its really hard to do on this phone. Especially during a ROM update.

Do you know how to do fastboot without the toolkit?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gears177:
yeah volme up right plus power adb is working but it says my phone is offline so thats a no go and ill try with the battery out and see if that works if not im going to make a jig monday and see if it helps im not sure how to push files or anything without the toolkit

nope didnt help is their anyway to delete everything except fast-boot or recovery or perhaps fix adb?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gears177:
so im guessing the commands for the fastboot and recovery were messed up as i know its still there i could boot to them before the rom update it must be its not recognizing the volume keys when their being pressed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] razi914:
Can you boot into odin mode?

[General Questions and Answers] sgirard1991:
All casual does is unlocks your bootloader... it doesn't unlock your SIM or IMEI...

You will need to find a way to unlock the phone. Something you most likely can't do yourself, you'll either have to take it into Verizon and as long as it's out of contract and you don't owe them money they'll unlock it, otherwise find a third party service to unlock it.

If you go through third party services do your research before choosing one--be careful of possible scams....

At first when I got my N9005 I also thought theres no "temperature sensor" only "ambient sensor"? Seems some apps like Android Sensor Box may have not updated their app then I found out that the "TYPE_TEMPERATURE" sensor was replaced with the "TYPE_AMBIENT_TEMPERATURE" sensor in API Level 14 and has been deprecated.

See this link developer.android.com/guide/topics/sensors/sensors_overview.html

Hope it clears many doubts.

I hope sony relase a bugfix update for us ,thats all from me ,hope this can little help.:D btw the new fifa 14 works too without lags :D
[Sony Xperia L] ImTooNoob:
Well, here it goes: Xperia L is the best mid-range phone available. Despite its annoying issues, such as low sensitivity touch and camera issues, it rocks. It flies with the Snapdragon processor and the Adreno 305 GPU. However, if you're looking for custom ROMs, you better look for another phone, since we haven't got developers attention yet. So, it certainly is a nice phone, but it has it pros and cons. Hope this helps.
[Sony Xperia L] w1040:
should i go for xperia m instead? i heard it doesnt have camera and touch issues like L have. despite the lower internal storage and smaller screen. i dont mind. but i need someone's opionions.

btw..Xperia L has a serious bug regarding its internal storage ( apparently, it could be solved by rooting, not sure though.. )

For me it's not,after rooting there in no problem.He can go for sp if he have more money ,but don't buy xperia c it is quadcore but inside the phone is a mediatek,which is ****ty cpu and have low development and support.If he you want to save some mony he should buy xperia m ,xperia l,but he didn't, better go for a nexus 4 than a sp.Xperia L for me is enough fast:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sn00py:
Hi all

Has anyone tried to watch streaming video (i.e. Vodafone LiveTV) on a Wizard or Universal? The PacketVideo Player for PPC would actually support the video/audio stream. The only thing I am struggling with is the following:

- The streams use a so called SDP file (Stream Descriptor). Now the thing with Vodafone LiveTV is, that they use arguments after the .sdp ending (i.e. rtsp://server/liveTV.sdp?key=1239809809824&session=2345jhb234lkj). Since the media players only register the plain .sdp extension in the registry, the media player gets not launched when I click on the web-link because of the arguments!

Does anyone know a solution how to register a file extension with wild cards (i.e. .sdp*) or how to map a protocol (rtsp) to a program?

Thanks!

tried battery calibration but no good.

I bought a new battery , and my phone still have sudden shutdowns when used for more than 30 minutes.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Darnell0216:
Google Wallet reads your device info, including the build.prop file, to verify your phone is supported. If this file doesn't contain the proper information, the app disables tap and pay. Even performing the mod to change the 4G symbol breaks GW with a fully stock ROM.

Your only bet is to either return to stock or download Xposed (if it works for CM) and install the Wallet Patch. However, I don't know if the patch helps with the recently released GW update.
