Debating on if I want to sign a contract for a lg g2 (free) or just stick with a nexus 4 that I bought fairly cheap. Been contract free with same carrier for past 5 + years.
[G2 General] IamPro:
Sell Nexus 4 and buy Nexus 5, seems like a no-brainer
[G2 General] osugsxr:
sold my nexus 5 and purchased the nexus 4 cheap. Dont really want to get into custom roms anymore, and do like stock kit kat so far. G2 for free, is tempting. Dont plan on switching carriers and grandfather rate wont change
[G2 General] G1_enthusiast:
G2 is the best, this is my first LG phone, I did have experience with LG G2X from a friend and it was the WORSE phone in the world, but this phone really is the best right now, Battery life, screen size, you really cant beat this combination. Before I was looking at Note 3 but it was just way too big, even the note 2 is big for my hand. The Sony phone is a POS, I own the XZ and that was enough for me to know Sony mobile team will be bankrupt soon.

The S4 looks good too, but the battery size is not as big. I did look into aftermarket battery but most of them come with no NFC. Also the S4 is just like the S3. No matter how I look at it, I cant justify spending another 500 on the same phone (even though internal are different and slightly bigger screen)

that is the reason why I picked the G2.

You must have had your phone on 24 hours a day. I had Sprint for 7 years and its hard to rack up 70gb of data when you pull down 200-500 kbps.
[G2 General] Jocelyn:
Well it's obviously going to be different depending on where you live/work. I had horrible speeds in previous places I've lived, but I'm getting 30mbps down since moving to Orlando.
[G2 General] david black:
I had it on quite a bit, but my average LTE speeds are 1 to 1.5 megabytes (not bits) per second. The fastest I've ever personally had was 5.8 MB/s (~50 mbps).

I've yet to perform a speed test on my G2, but I am noticing greater LTE coverage than my Evo LTE gave me.
[G2 General] ZhenWan:
The LG G2 is my first Android phone (coming from an iOS user), and I can say it has been great using this device. Certain worth the money for a high spec. device in comparison to its competitors. If your a display lover, you'll like the extremely thin bezels. ^_^

[G2 General] ooohhh2:
I went to a store two days ago to take a look at moto g to replace my defective Galaxy S, and walked out with a G2 due to a crazy deal the shop had. Basically i only pay 10 € per month for two years for this phone, which is ridiculous.

I'm still mesmerized how great this phone is. I actually hated big phones, but now i love it. This IPS panel is a beast!

I honestly can't justify the smartphones prices nowadays, that's why i was attracted to moto g. But with that deal i just couldn't resist.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cam_cooper96:
I recently installed a ROM on my One for the first time, following tutorials, wiping data and cache ect through CWM. The ROM I've installed is Android Revolution HD, but now my device has around 15 Gb of storage space missing which is excluding any space taken up by the OS. So basically has anyone got advice as to what could be the problem and how I can rectify it?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
use a root-enabled file explorer, and check /data/media

history:

4.1.2 based roms have /sdcard point to /data/media/

4.2.2+ based roms have /sdcard point to /data/media/0/

so the things in /data/media/, other than directory 0, shouldn't be there and should be in /data/media/0/

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DUser83:
Hi

I had a sim card with "play gsm" and android 2.3.7. Everything was fine until I moved number to "plus gsm" and changed my sim card.

Sometimes sim card was not available. I've read it's possible on android after changing the sim card, and the solution is factory reset.

So I decided to install slimrom JB 4.2.2 and now it is even worse! :crying:

Phone started to reboot itself, and sometimes you can not call me. Phone shows 100% coverage, the caller hears the waiting signal, but phone does not ring. Sometimes I have a message "found a new sim card, please restart the phone". I thought it was a sim card fault, but after inserting it into nokia 3210 all works. Sometimes phone reboots to when I download the app from Google Play.

Maybe it's something with this rom or my phone "does not like" this gsm operator? :mad:

Maybe I should install some rom 4.1.2 or back to 2.3.7?

I don't know what to do...:crying:

Please help
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahmed93:
Might be a problem with the ROM, try going back to the RUU rom (2.3) or try ParanoidAndroid , its a good (4.2) rom

and make sure you CLEAN the phone, look around and backup your stuff, then do a clean install:good:

[Windows 8 General] rich345:
Hiya,

Im looking at getting a new tablet after getting a little annoyed with my asus t100.

The asus has the bay trail-T Atom Z3740 (t100) the other has a n9210 which is bay trail-M.

Is the bay trail-m more powerfull as i do not believe it has turbo boost. im looking at playing fm14 on the lowest settings so it does not need to be to powerfull as the Atom Z3740 could play it.

The new intel range is confusing me, is it Atom-Celeron-Pentium-Core-Xenon

Rich
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Pentium and celeron are legacy products. Bay trail is encroaching on celeron anyway.

Xeon is not a consumer product line. Its for servers.

The current consumer product line is simply

Atom > Core i3 > Core i5 > Core i7. And even then, most consumers wont benefit from the i7.
[Windows 8 General] rich345:
ahhh right the tablet im looking at is this

http://www8.hp.com/uk/en/products/laptops/product-detail.html?oid=6420758#!tab=specs

which says it has a celeron which is a bay trail-m product
[Windows 8 General] mcosmin222:
Pentium and Celeron are upgraded every time the i3/5/7 family gets upgraded, so I wouldn't call them legacy.

They are more like lower end versions of the above.

I would say Celeron is somewhere in between an i3 and an atom.

With that said, i doubt the performance is noticeable.
[Windows 8 General] rich345:
Cool that's what I was looking for thought it would be a middle kinda ground between atom and i3 :)
[Windows 8 General] e.mote:
Both are Bay Trail, but are targeted at different platforms. The T100's Z3740 is designed for tablets,

http://ark.intel.com/products/76759

while the Celeron N2910 is for entry notebooks,

http://ark.intel.com/products/76752

with higher SDP (4.5W vs 2W), higher clock (1.6GHz vs 1.3GHz), and can run 64-bit Win (all Bay Trail tablets are 32-bit only, until next year).

Even without Turbo, the N2910 is faster since it runs at 20% higher clock. That would be a noticeable difference. But still, we're talking about an Atom here. The downside is higher power use, hence the 2nd batt in the base of your model.

BTW, the US version of your mentioned hybrid is a bit better with a Pentium N3510, which is also a Bay Trail M, but has a base clock of 2GHz.

http://www.shopping.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Laptops/HP-Pavilion/E4V88AV

http://ark.intel.com/products/76751

BTW, note that these come with Windows 8, not 8.1.
[Windows 8 General] rich345:
Thanks for that will have a look at the one you have said.

I know it has 8 but won't it get the free 8.1 update?
[Windows 8 General] e.mote:
Just because you can upgrade to 8.1, doesn't mean you should. HP hasn't certify 8.1 for this model, and Bay Trail already has enough bleeding edge problems with driver support.

More issues: wifi is bgn, ie 2.4GHz only; Miracast won't be possible. 11.6" screen is only 1366x768. Unit is heavy at 3.3lbs (1.71lbs sans base). Battery life is probably poor. No freebie Office like for the smaller 10" devices. On the plus side, you do get 4GB RAM rather than 2GB.

At $600 US, it's expensive. The main reason is Intel's chip pricing. Cel N2910's pricing is $132 retail (HP would've paid less), Z3740 is reportedly $30. The large difference isn't because of performance, but platform positioning. It's likely why Bay Trail T is 32-bit only, because Intel doesn't want it to cannibalize sales of higher-margin parts. It was the same with the netbook.

Even at $30, Bay Trail isn't competitive with ARM SoCs. Intel reportedly will lower Bay Trail parts to $15-20 in 2014.

http://tablet-news.com/2013/10/15/intel-preparing-cheap-bay-trail-chips-for-2014/

To date, there hasn't been many device roll-out for Bay Trail. Pricing is one reason why. Not many people will pay $500-600 for a Bay Trail hybrid, or $300 for a 8" tablet (except for Apple's of course). Asus T100 hits a good price point, but as you found, it has major compromises.

The second reason is that Win 8.1 is a yawner. It may not have the hate that Win 8 engendered, but there is no consumer enthusiasm for it. Going into this shopping season, the hope was that Haswell and Bay Trail, along with 8.1, would kick-start Windows sales. Doesn't look like that will happen. Now you know the real reason why Ballmer is crying his way out the door.
[Windows 8 General] mcosmin222:
e.mote,

Just because a CPU has higher clock it doesn't mean it is actually better.

An 1Gz i5 is better than an 1.8 ghz Atom. It is all about the architecture, so you can't compare them like that. Celeron is faster than Atom, but the difference won't be noticeable in daily usage (inbefore benchmarks: they are pretty useless for daily usage performance)

As for windows 8/8.1, we understand you can't get your head around using it, but you shouldn't present "general consensus facts" which are exactly the opposite in reality.
[Windows 8 General] e.mote:
>An 1Gz i5 is better than an 1.8 ghz Atom. It is all about the architecture, so you can't compare them like that.

You need to get yourself educated. The above discussion is about the same Silvermont architecture. There is no Core here. The Celeron/Pentium/whatever are brandings applied. A Bay Trail M running at 1.6 or 2GHz is faster than a Bay Trail T at 1.33, period. It is that simple.

>which are exactly the opposite in reality

I'm sure the fanboy's version of reality is indeed different.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
It isn't likely why the Bay Trail T is 32 bit only because Bay Trail T isn't 32 bit only.

Its 64 bit. Go check ark.intel.com yourself, or even the thread on this very forum where someone is attempting to boot linux on the T100.

http://ark.intel.com/products/76759/Intel-Atom-Processor-Z3740-2M-Cache-up-to-1_86-GHz

http://ark.intel.com/products/78416/Intel-Atom-Processor-Z3740D-2M-Cache-up-to-1_86-GHz

http://ark.intel.com/products/76752/Intel-Celeron-Processor-N2910-2M-Cache-1_60-GHz

Celeron drops the variable clock speeds but has a higher RAM cap but at a lower frequency. Celeron maximum graphics core clock is higher, although it doesnt say what the minimum is and is lacking a few extra features.

The celeron will always run at 1.6ghz as opposed to the atom branded chip being 1.33 and then occasionally overclocking itself to 1.86

Its not like you ever substantiate or provide any evidence to your claims that "everyone hates modern", "no one can use desktop in 8 or modern on desktops" or whatever other claims you have made at some point. He has a point
[Windows 8 General] e.mote:
>It isn't likely why the Bay Trail T is 32 bit only because Bay Trail T isn't 32 bit only

Yes, the Silvermont architecture is 64-bit, which is why it can support 64-bit Win in the M line. As abundantly said, that the T line is 32-bit-(OS)-only is because of market positioning, not a technical deficiency.

>Celeron drops the variable clock speeds [etc]...

Yes, thanks for regurgitating my words back to me. I'm sure it's all worthwhile.

>Its not like you ever substantiate or provide any evidence to your claims that "everyone hates modern", "no one can use desktop in 8 or modern on desktops" or whatever other claims you have made at some point. He has a point

Does anybody ever provide evidence for anything on views espoused herein? Do you? Do you ever stop putting words in other people's mouth, as these above?

You want evidence that "8.1 has no consumer enthusiasm"? Look around in this very forum. See anyone jumping for joy at 8.1's features and improvements? See people lining up to buy 8.1 boxes? You think MS is turning itself upside down, and Ballmer bawling his guts out on stage because he's happy of the great Windows sales?
[Windows 8 General] rkoforever90:
just out of curiosity is the baytrail atom chipset as powerful as the core 2 duo or duo core laptop cpu from 2007-2009 time frame.
[Windows 8 General] Ace42:
As fast as a low end Penryn chip. For reference my P9700 @2.8ghz scores 2600 on geekbench 3 and the bay trail gets 2900. Note the bench is multicore and 32bit settings. However according to cinebench r11.5 my P9700 has higher single & multi core performance, but only slightly.

Also bay t z3740 gets 3343 in cinebench r10 and my laptop gets 6100, so bay is likely close to low end Penyrn or 1st gen i3.

[Windows 8 General] mcosmin222:
Intel Atom is a different architecture than the rest of the intel family processors.Celeron belongs in the same family as the core processors

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celeron

Therefore, your CPU clock comparison between intel atom and celeron is null.

You should probably change your avatar image.

PS:this is more of a technical support forum than anything else. People don't usually end up on XDA developers if they do not have a problem. This is how i found about this forum too: I had a problem. There is no point in saying a technical support forum is a good indicator of how good or bad a software is.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Current celeron chips it seems intel have simply taken the silvermont core from bay trail and slapped the celeron branding on so they are one and the same now beyond what I have apparently regurgitated at e.mote yet he never actually said.

Want to ignore intels own documents showing that BayTrail T is 64 bit? want to ignore people on this very forum booting 64 bit OSes on Bay Trail T? want to continue stating its 32 bit when it isn't? Fine by me, perhaps you profile picture is rather accurate. And before you claim I am putting words in peoples mouth with this post, its a direct unedited quote although you do seem incapable of ever using the quote button.

Windows sales at this point in time are actually showing a similar market share to when windows 7 was released. Desktop/Laptop PC sales have fallen as a whole according to many analysts as tablet sales gain ground with consumers.

This forum cannot be used as evidence. The forum is technical support. In general you find that most of the people who are happy with a product do not come here to give it praises, they just carry on using it as they do. People come here when they have an issue. Of course people arent going to be jumping for joy when they have come here to ask how to do something (which 99% of the time isnt even a windows 8 exclusive issue).

Such an emphatic statement! But sadly, wrong. This forum is NOT tech support. Do read the header. It's a general discussion area for Win8. People help out because they want to, not because it's their designated task. People come here to jaw about Win8, as we are doing. Evidence? We love evidence! You have some for us, yes?

>Windows sales at this point in time are actually showing a similar market share to when windows 7 was released.

Oh, really! I'm sure that'd be news to many, especially to MS. Since you're so fond of "evidence," where is it? Please, do tell! Love to see which version of reality you reside in.

Then again, facts aren't something you're used to, so let me help ya out. From the horse's mouth:

http://blogs.windows.com/windows/b/...year-more-than-240-million-licenses-sold.aspx

"As of September [2010], Windows 7 was running on 93% of new consumer PCs and has over 17% global OS market share (according to Net Applications as of October 1st)"

Per Net Applications, at end of Oct 2010, one year after its release, Win7's market share was 18.9%.

http://www.netmarketshare.com/repor...+7&qpcustomb=0&qpsp=2009&qpnp=2&qptimeframe=Y

Meanwhile,

http://thenextweb.com/insider/2013/...ling-first-time-windows-8-1-takes-1-72-share/

"The latest market share data from Net Applications shows that October 2013 was a slow one for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 combined...[at] 9.25 percent."

Yes, 18.9% is indeedy VERY SIMILAR to 9.25%. Gotta love the new math they teach in schools nowaday. (Yes we're assuming the little fella did see the inside of a school at some point...OK it's a possibility.)

Hey wanna see something to warm your cockles?

http://www.netmarketshare.com/opera...11&qpcustomb=0&qpsp=165&qpnp=13&qptimeframe=M

Going great guns is Win 8.x! Gosh at this torrid pace it might even get to 10% by next century!

>In general you find that most of the people who are happy with a product do not come here to give it praises, they just carry on using it as they do.

Uh oh, more generalizations with NO EVIDENCE. What would Mcosmin lass say!

Yes yes I know them well...the unsung "silent majority" toiling away in the shadow of your imagination. If only they would RISE UP AND BE COUNTED, the world would be a happier place. I'm sure they will do it tomorrow.

Census count! ARE YE A HAPPY WIN8 USER? If yes, go buy smore Win toys and help Ballmer keep his job!

So, what's next on the fanboy scapegoating list? Should we blame the marketing, or do we go after the biased MSM peeps? Heck I'm kinda partial to the breakdancing Catholic school tots. They got tudes. OK it's the bloggers' fault.
