[G3 General] tehpud:
I am seeing a consistent trend in this direction. The every day user seems to prefer the G3 while others justify the OPO due to cost, faster updates (assumed by the claimer), and better battery life.

Once I get it in my hands - I will know quickly which I prefer. I just hope we get an unlocked bootloader on the G3. Doesn't have to be right away but soon!
[G3 General] BoundsChecking:
In no way am I bashing the One Plus, I rather like the price for the specs inside. Applauded Google for bringing the Nexus line into fruition, and pushing manufacturers to not screw over the average consumer with mediocre specs for a lot of money. I just am not seeing the justification of a smartphone of that price, when build quality, screen material, and overall spec wise, the G3 beats it (for not a lot more money, I might add)

Another reason I shied away from the One Plus, is the shady dealings of both the manufacturer, and how CM royally screwed over a large contributor base. Again, a great phone, but with shady dealings and practices involved I can see no reason to jump ship to that.
[G3 General] thegrants82:
Why would anyone even compare the one plus and g3? It's not even close. People want the one plus because its hard to get.....period.
[G3 General] KiNG OMaR:
I have both phones. In my opinion, the G3 is far superior than the Oneplus One in every way hardware wise. The G3 is thinner, smaller, has a better camera, and the screen is gorgeous (everyone has their own opinions). The only thing I like about the Oneplus is cyanogenmod's theme chooser, other than that I'm more than happy with the G3.

Plus, I'm sure cyanogenmod will make it's way to the G3 sooner or later since our T-Mobile G3s are bootloader unlocked.

Edit: Oh, just wanted to point out that the sandstone back of the Oneplus is AMAZING! It feels much better in hand than the G3, but it is also wider and taller which is a no-no.
[G3 General] IXChicharitoXI:
Sell the OPO for like 100 more than you paid for.
[G3 General] scy1192:
Can't go wrong with either really, as long as you can get an invite for the OPO. They're picking up the pace with those though and you should be able to purchase it outright by the end of Q3 (August)
[G3 General] arcanexvi:
If any of you have spare invites I still haven't gotten one yet and I'd love one for tinkering. The random invite system is dumb. I was one of their earliest supporters but I didn't create a forum account for a while so I got burned.
[G3 General] Deleted member 5149701:
+1!!!!!
[G3 General] GoldfishTX:
I have both phones, and to be honest, they don't really feel like competitors. The G3 is polished, slim, and solidly built, but is heavily restricted with its locked bootloader. The OPO is a flashaholic's dream, but the hardware isn't as nice. Mine has the slight yellow band at the bottom of the screen, too. The OPO feels much faster, but not overwhelmingly.

What is shady about it & how did CM screw ppl over?? I don't understand, what did i miss?
[G3 General] BoundsChecking:
Well for one OnePlus released their phones without CM on them, and told consumers to install if from their website a few days after purchase. The invite system is completely skewed in my opinion, aside from the fact that there are supposedly only "2" authorized resellers, yet every Chinese phone website you go on seems to have them.

CM is another deal entirely. You can read about it here: http://www.ootpapps.com/2013/09/cyanogenmod-inc-betrayal-spirit-android/
[G3 General] jimmycrackcorn1:
Well that's China for ya.. I'm sure there are a bunch of clones floating around. What do you think, ya..no..?

That is an odd "push to market" system. Its almost as if they thought it would bring a big following as most ppl want what they cant have.

Actually, It kinda makes me wonder if the whole one plus one thing might of been some sort of half a$$'d plan to help cyanogenmod become an Inc. You know, like show investors that cyanogenmod is going to become some sort mainstream licensed OS put on phones by manufacturers, but without breaking the bank by mass producing the phone, thus the invite approach.

-ok now, where is my tinfoil hat...lol.

My nexus 4 is pretty beat up at this point... Whats new on the market, i see slot of stuff getting blown out the doors for cheap. Like S5, N5, etc. Is that G3 a good match for someone used to an N4? I need something tough, that N4's glass was broken in a matter of days.
[G3 General] BoundsChecking:
I'm not gonna be a know it all here, but I have an N5, and it felt to me that I was more paying for software updates and the Nexus logo than actual hardware (battery sucks, speaker is horrible, and the camera is mediocre. But, then again, I'm only paying 400~ for it)

I am in love with my G3. I still itch for custom ROMs as I am a flashaholic, but I enjoy this device so much that I hopped on very very early in it's developmental life cycle. This is something I never do! (Had the N5 until the G2 had sufficient enough tide in the developmental area. Same with the M8.)

So, in my own personal opinion, I believe it is a worthy upgrade. (Besides, we got thecubed among other fantastic Devs hard at work on our device!)
[G3 General] jimmycrackcorn1:
Wow, that's alot of phones in a short period of time.. I usually keep a phone for a year or so. FYI, I'm also on prepaid so no discounts here. I gotta get bang for the buck..

About the G3, what your saying is that there isn't much dev support yet for the G3, as compared to say, the Nexus or Galaxy line?

Personally, i don't need the craziest specs out of a phone. I like to have a good amount of RAM & if storage is internal, i need at least 16. I never realized how much space pictures take up, i don't usually backup to a PC & have lost too much stuff relying on clouds. The clouds will take 2hrs to upload & then fail at the last minute or completely upload & somehow become the wrong format to view, etc. Also, speakers are nice, but thats always been luck of the draw with for me. My dang Moto Triumph had better/louder sound than my N7 & my N4. So yeah... With that said, would you recommend something along the lines of the OPO , N5, S5?
[G3 General] BoundsChecking:
I would say go with the N5 if you're looking for bang for buck. S5 has too much crapware, and the OPO is too new IMO.

No problem dear..I managed to get an invite my self and using OPO from 4 months back..no issues face till date.
[G3 General] EcPercy:
My friend sent me an invite and I just let it expire. The phone is pretty nice to be honest, but the only thing that held me back was the lack of wireless qi charging. I invested in qi chargers including a dual plate in the bedroom for two phones to charge at the same time. I can't see a reason I would want to go back to having a bunch of micro-USB style chargers again. If the one + two has wireless qi and sticks around the same price I may pick one up.

I REALLY like the idea of having CyanogenMod on the phone from the factory. I REALLY dislike the whole invite system that one + one guys came out with. It seems like they created artificial demand by doing the system that way. JUST SELL THE PHONE!!!

On a side note. I have mixed feelings about the G3. I mean I have LOCK SCREEN LAG... It's pretty sad that the phone lags when entering your pin code on the lock screen. I really wish that LG would work with CyanogenMod on a build that has all of the LG extras and sticks with the ASOP UI. I absolutely can't stand the quick settings bar and their CRAP blue colour buttons. I think that the LG UI (no matter how good they wish it was) just is useless and it's obvious that all of their extra framework causes the phone to be laggy.

I have tried the "unofficial" CM12 build, but that is not ready for prime time. With CM12 the CPU runs around 90c+ and the battery drain is pretty awful. POSSIBLY when it reaches stable it may be ready, but I have noticed some small issues with ASOP (like the lack of saving pics to sd).

Hello, I'm the happy owner of a Xperia J :') I want to know if a Rom Custom for Xperia J with LOCKED BOOTLOADER was born?

I know, there is a lot of ROMS for my phone but i tried to search and i have been quickly lost,

Can you post the link for the CWM for XJ and a Custom Rom compatible with LOCKED BL

Thank you in advance

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] zephy09:
ALL IN HERE! -_-

For locked bootloaders, you can just delete the custom kernel inside the rom. and flash the stock kernel.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] cahir1495:
Even these CM based? :D
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] lhkakex:
No,CM based rom cannot boot from stock kernel,you need custom kernel,

If you want CM based rom,you must unlock bootloader,

If you want Stock based rom(AVD,Alien),you don't need unlock bootloader,just delete "boot.img"
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] zephy09:
Most of xperia j roms are stock based, so no need to worry. But if you want cm based or kitkat you must unlocked your bootloader. :D
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] cahir1495:
Yes, but for Xperia SP there are CMs for locked bl. Too bad there's no CM for locked J :/

And as for the bootloader, many people (like me) have non-unlockable bl :/

In Alien or AVD i didn't have to remove boot.img from zip :D

thx

Ok thank you for the information =)

Posting for a friend here. Running the Verizon note 3 on what I assume is the most up to date stock software.

Basically he informed me that he wiped cache from recovery because his phone "was having issues" after he rebooted his home screen pin unlock is saying he entered the wrong pin. Is there any way short of a factory reset that will fix this. Thanks for your help

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Afro Samurai:
We'd need a bit more info but here goes.

If he's pure stock they can try going into download mode and doing a hard reset. Turn off phone and follow these steps.

1) Press and hold the Volume Up + Home + Power buttons at the same time. For about 5 to 8 seconds, the phone will reload.

2) Release all buttons as soon as you see the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 logo.

3) In the Android system recovery mode, use the volume rocker to highlight wipe data/factory reset, and then press the Power button to select.

4) Select Yes — delete all user data

5) Next, select reboot system now.

He'll have to redo his apps and stuff all over again but he'll be into his phone.

If he is rooted and running a custom rom just reboot and hit safestrap recovery button on start up and reflash rom. You are assuming he on just stock software but we aren't 100% sure.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thale342:
I stated that he was running stock. He is trying to find a way to do this without wiping data as he has information he doesn't have backed up that he doesn't want to loose

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Afro Samurai:
I don't know what else he can do other than hard resetting the phone. Did he save it to his sd card or internal storage? If it's on his sd card he's fine. If it's on his internal storage I don't know what else to do. I don't think there's any software for that as it's his phone but bypassing the pin lock any other way might be considered phone piracy and I doubt the xda governing bodies will let that be posted here even if something existed. There was some software for the s3 that let you put your imei number back on your phone if you lost it flashing roms but xda had to not let it be posted here as it could have been used to activate a stolen phone. I don't know what else to do to help. He may have to bite the bullet on this one unless someone else knows something I don't.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeneralRikan:
Hello, not exactly new to Android or Linux for that matter, but this has got me stumped.

I bought a Samsung Galaxy S5 from China because the seller conned me into thinking it was a g900v. It turns out its a Sm-G9006v. Android says it is 4.4.2 but other programs (Sysinfo, looking up the IMEI) tell me it is 4.2.2. So which do I believe? How do find out once and for all?

There are other little weird things about this phone and I'll explain if you'd like.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeneralRikan:
Here's some shots of system info. First two are from android rest are from sysinfo
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
The additional information about anomalies would help. As you discerned, the system information screen looks legitimate, but SysInfo reports a fake i.e. MT6572/4.2.2. Which is correct?

One way to tell conclusively would be to run an extended benchmark suite. There would be a substantial difference in benchmark scores between a fake with a MT class processor and a legitimate G9006V (China Unicom S5). Alternately, you could look closely at the system files to discern if you actually have 4.2.2 or 4.4.2. Or multiple irreconcilable anomalies would.be compelling evidence of a fake.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hellscythe:
Looking at the status bar icons it is pretty apparent this is not an original S5. Or maybe the seller rooted his device and changed the icons.

Also, it shows up as a Mediatek based device (mt6572). IT IS FAKE.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Since you're certain, can you provide a screenshot of a known legitimate China Unicom S5 for comparison?

If you've never seen a China unicom S5, then it's premature to declare it a fake before we really know. A different icon could easily be something that the carrier or a localized update effected.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hellscythe:
It's running a Mediatek chipset. It is 100% fake. No variant of the S5 uses a Mediatek chipset. Kernel version is also incorrect and Android version shows JDQ39 which is Jellybean. No version of the S5 runs on Jellybean.

Here is your requested image: http://i3.sinaimg.cn/IT/cr/2014/0319/1504933938.jpg sourced from: http://tech.sina.com.cn/mobile/n/2014-03-19/07359253359.shtml

I'm thinking this might be the phone you're talking about...

http://upnovo.com/?Wholesale-China-mobile-cell-smart-phone-cheap/Chinese-Copy-Samsung-Galaxy-S5-G9006-Clone-Replica.html
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
You're assuming that sysinfo is correct. And it is far from 100% reliable. I already stipulated earlier that it will be a fake

if

sysinfo turns out to be correct. The information page for the G9006V that you found after the fact is inconclusive with mostly oblique screen views.

The bottom line is that we don't know one way or the other for certain yet. You can cherry pick the evidence suggesting it's a fake if you wish. But there is no reasonable basis to say that the matter has been conclusively proven yet. The OP needs to benchmark the processor or another metric that will clearly distinguish between the two.

A fake..
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeneralRikan:
Now here's the kicker, it has the heartbeat sensor, it has the fingerprint sensor. Do you think maybe the person I bought it from just flashed it with a wrong ROM?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Despite a lot of dogmatic opinions in the thread, you still don't have enough information to know yet. You probably have a fake, but that isn't certain simply because a third party app says that you have Jelly Bean firmware and a MT processor. It's a fake if that information is correct, but it wouldn't be the first time that an app has reported erroneous information either.

Likewise, missing the heartrate or fingerprint sensors would be strong evidence of a fake. But the best quality clones do have working heartrate & fingerprint apps. The most damming evidence IMO is the kernel version which is suggestive of a clone. But I stand by my earlier advice. Had you run a benchmark suite, you'd already have a conclusive answer.
