[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I've come from an S3 gt-i9300

Camera is shed loads better (its not about mpx)

Screen is more realistic (although blacks aren't as deep)

Battery is LOADS better (snap dragon is low power)

Graphics capabilities a million times better

Much MUCH faster phone

much better memory management

Depends which S3 you had but so much better than the international version (its ridiculous)

The 16 GB version is really easy to fill though

What carrier are you on?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sensamic:
Yeah, I've got the international version, which practically has zero multiasking due to the 1GB RAM and Touchwiz taking 80% of that.

Camera is really much better? I'm actually happy with the SGS3 camera, so if it is similar I would be happy too. I just expected a much bigger improvement whatever phone is next.

I wont game at all with the phone (I do that with my Nexuw 7), so I actually prefer bigger battery and better camera than performance/graphics. That's why I'm also considering the LG G2.

I love stock, but maybe on a phone it's more important to have even bigger battery and camera than stock experience and updates?

Vodafone, Europe.

Nexus 5

-pure stock vanilla android 4.4

-Snapdragon 2.3GHz quad-core processor

-2GB of RAM

-Adreno 330 GPU.

-HD IPS 1080 x 1920 (445 ppi)

Galaxy s3 (assuming its the u.s version)

-skinned android 4.0 out of the box (should be on 4.3 now)

- 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4

dual-core

-HD 720 x 1280

-2GB RAM

(International version same exact thing just quad core exynos I believe and 1gb ram)

I personally would have to say that the nexus 5 is definetly a big upgrade from a galaxy s3,also in my opinion a way much better and more fluid device.if your trying to get something as of now the the nexus 5 is your best bet.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wideasleep1:
My wife's GS3 was acting funny..turns out she updated the TMobile Account app, which re-enabled the CarrierIQ spyware crap. As I was troubleshooting her GS3, I found it EXTREMELY laggy, and stuttering on just about every touch event, even after a full ram clear and reboot and freezing TMO CarrierIQ apps (there were 3). After spending a half-hour on it, I could NEVER return to that phone as a daily driver...the Nexus 5 is THAT good. Nix..that GREAT. I already bought her a nice XMas gift, but now I'm thinking of getting her a Nexus 5 just so I don't have to endure the GS3 again. ;)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
You should see some big gaines over the G3. I have the LG G2, which is the same CPU/GPU and it blazes. There are plenty of S4 users that moved up to the G2/N5. I'd think going from TouchWiz > AOSP would be big enough gains to switch.

Nexus 5, LG G2, and Note 3 are all basically the same hardware with little obvious perks for each.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sensamic:
Yeah, going to AOSP is the biggest improvement IMO. It would be great, as it will never slow down, not even with future updates.

The only thing holding me back right now is battery. I would love a huge battery, like the ones in LG G2 and Note 3. But then, who knows if software will still be fluid in one or two years... But I would hate having only 2-3 hours screen on time with the Nexus 5.

Very difficult decision.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
Not really, since you are buying it from a store just get it and test it out then return it if you don't like it enough. Simple as that.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpower7:
I found the N5 to be a substantial upgrade over the S4, which in turn was a sizeable upgrade over the S3. When I pick up my wife's S3 and do anything with it, it feels like I'm stepping back in time. The screen in particular is a joke by comparison, and the GPU is pretty weak. She doesn't get impressive battery life either.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xBeerdroiDx:
agreed.

OP, go for it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sensamic:
Let me show you guys something.

Been playing for 20 minutes with my SGS3 to check how fast battery drains. Wi-Fi was on for just 4 minutes, 3G off, sync off, brightness at max, BT off, Google now off.

All I did was watch 2 videos (7 minutes in total), visit one website and the rest of the time just going around the UI.

My battery was at 99% and in those 20 minutes it fell down to 90%. Wow. It's worst than I thought. I don't use that much my phone now that I've got my Nexus 7.

I don't want another phone with this crap battery for 2 years. Right now I'm leaning towards the Note 3 or LG G2. I like the Nexus 5 much more. That's obvious. But I also want the biggest battery possible.

At least I got my Nexus 7 to get updates, but on my phone I guess there are other priorities too apart from updates and stock Android.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
Well I suggest the G2. Bigger battery (2300v3000), slightly bigger screen, better DPI (430v480), better cam.

The G2 software is amazing. There is a whole thread on the G2 forums about all the cool little features like Navbar Keyboard Arrows like AOKP roms. The IR Remote app is very cool. I dunno. I can't even flash a custom rom for long without wanting to flash back.

LG is pushing the G2. They already released a 4.4 rom on the Korean model with others filtering through the carriers now. The Verizon version has already had 2 OTA updates with KitKat expected soon.

The Note 3 is locked down tight. No development last time I checked. G2 has CM11 and AOKP and PA. G2 AOKP > N5 AOKP imo.

You lose up to the minute software updates though. My N7 fills that void though.

I have 14 hours on my G2 right now with 2:21 hours of screen on time and 35% left using stock rom.

Battery stats
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbdan:
Yes, huge. It's even a big upgrade from a GS4. It's also an upgrade from the MotoX. All of which I've had.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MohJee:
Only going to note 3 would be a big upgrade. Otherwise wait for next year models. G2 s4 and n5 are all not worth it IMO.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommy.mann:
It is a huge difference

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squeeish:
I came from a SGS3 International and I'm very happy with my switch.

First off this phone isn't slippery like my SGS3 (I use my phones without cases). I like the angular edges and the plain simple understated black look of the device.

The ceramic buttons are a nice touch as well, quite a bit better than SGS3's mushy ones. The screen is great; you'll take a while to get used to it from SGS3's AMOLED though.

Stock Android is a huge plus... I always ended up running custom ROMs on my phones so I finally decided to get a N5 to have native stock Android.

The only thing I miss about my SGS3 is that games are often full screen on it; on the N5, unless the developer has already implemented the recently introduced Immersive mode, you'll have those pesky touch screen menu buttons at the side.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lutec.ludwig:
Hallo experts, i've been xda reader for about 2 years now and i didn't bothered (or needed) to register. Flashed succesfully couple of phones.

My current phone however, has given my too much rage trips ;) So here's the story:

Bought a "Alps U9000" which is a Note 3 Clone based on mtk6589 chipset.

First i made a Backup with MT Droid Tools.

Figured out and installed mt65xx vcom usb drivers.

Flashed couple of roms compatible (or not?) with my phone. First day my phone went totally black dead. But somehow i managet to get a rom that is identicall with stock, flashed and voila. Then i tried couple more similar roms.

They all worked, but after fifth or so, this is the weird thing, my touch became totally unresponsive. Nada.

Since then i tried everything and nothing helped. Bunch of different roms, MY Backup Rom, Restoring Imei,

Plugged mouse to a phone and it works like a charm, but no touch.

Can someone Help?

Hint: I flashed everything with the battery, using MTK preloader vcom driver.

When i tried whole Rom without battery pressing Vol+ it failed.

Only preloader without battery worked, and then the rest with battery worked also.

Dont know if it's relevant.

Any help would be much appreciated.

i missed a step, made incomplete backup with some wrong version of DT?

Can i finally break my brick i two or shoud i research some more?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noob_XDA:
Flashing your original boot & system image ONLY back to your phone should be enough to restore it.

Don't tick other check boxes in SP Flash Tool.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferreroman:
help me! :C

dude I am new in the forum just like you, same situation and I have exactly the same phone, I already searched in needrom and already tryied with several roms, since the original its really really almost impossible to find, I looked everywhere seriously, if you can help me I would be so happy, I just need the link from where you find it or your backup, I know the second choice is asking for too much but with mega is not really that hard, you dont need to help me but if you do it I swear I would help other people with the same phone

what I know about this phone is that its manufactored by alps and they sell it as ulefone model:u9000, my box came with no brand-mark at all, only crap like "Its Android Phone !" quadcore cpu and other stuff
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lutec.ludwig:
Well, if you need original rom for the device I can share with you.

I just bought another exact same one. Downloaded Rom from it with flash tool via read back option.

Flashed the faulty one with it but still it didn't worked.

System works, WiFi, BT, 3g, but no touchscreen. Only with mouse per USB i was able to test the above mentioned.

I guess I will send it back and hope for a refund or a repair because I am pretty sure the hardware is faulty.

Maybe there is some1 that knows more about mtk devices? Does the phone have only the emmc memory or is there some sort of vram that stores Calibration data for touch, imei number and so on?

[LG Nitro HD] kirov37:
Well last 3 ICS roms I used were getting bootloops after a while. My phone was rebooting a few times (I think it is because of SD card), but that was normal with most of ROMs I used. However on my last 3 ROMs after few restarts phone just got into a bootloop. I used HoNo's v20f, Nitro TnT, and v20f by altvolt74. I also used wind kernel 3.7 with it. The only thing that could get me back to normal was factory reset, but I don't want to do it every time it boot loops. Any way I can fix these bootloops?

PS I am unbricking and rooting the phone again now...
[LG Nitro HD] audit13:
Are you using the latest CWM recovery? Are you doing a full wipe between roms (cache, Dalvik, data, system)?
[LG Nitro HD] kirov37:
Yeah I am using CWM 6.0.1.5 and I am doing full wipes.
[LG Nitro HD] audit13:
6.0.4.5 is the latest version.

http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
[LG Nitro HD] kirov37:
By the way, I've had a few random reboots today, which would have normally caused bootloop, but my phone didn't loop now. I think it might be something with the kernel. When I was getting those bootloops I've been using wind kernel 3.7, now I flashed 3.5... Maybe the kernel caused problems?

Oh and by the way thanks for that link!
[LG Nitro HD] audit13:
Why not try one of the newer ROMs based on 4.2.2, 4.3, and 4.4?

I find the colours and text to be much better on these newer ROMs.
[LG Nitro HD] kirov37:
I'm not using the newer ROMs because the games don't work on them. For example on CM 10.1.3 games work really really slow... If you know any good new ROM which has games working, recommend me please.

Oh and by the way, do I have to go through unbricking and rooting process again to install newer recovery, or can I simply push it with adb now?
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
I agree with you, only the ROMs based on stock are suitable fir games. In regards to recovery, just use adb. BTW, if you want to try a newer ROM that would be good for games, try one of the SphinX ROMs.
[LG Nitro HD] kirov37:
I used 720's Sphinx ROM it could run games, but sometimes it could get choppy and the ROM wasn't as stable as ICS for me.
