[Q] Phone Choosing - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got HTC HD2 is there a Phone that is coming out or already in stores that match or overmatch that phone?
Imoprtant thing the big screen and battary life and the phone should survive 2 years at least in advancment of the market

anyone :S?

Android has a lot of dual core beasts in the Line up....Havent really read up on Mango's device roadmap..

i know those beasts overmatch my HD2 but give me thier names i prefer same size as HD2 4.3 inch min 1Ghz proc and 556Ram XD

The specs aren't confirmed yet. Just so called "leaks" are about the place. Like here: http://www.androidauthority.com/nexus-prime-specs-and-render-leak-and-it-looks-amazing-24150/ and here: http://www.technobuffalo.com/compan...s-prime-hands-on-specs-and-details-via-4chan/ . There are more by the way.

this Nexsus sound like something great if thsoe leaks r gonna be specs ( I like big screens so if its bigger then HD the merrier)

wondering the same thing. been waiting awhile now, next year or this year.... um

i need a new phone ASAP my HD2 is dying

[Q] What phone will you buy next?...

Hy guys
1.What's the next phone that you want to buy?
2.Thinking about a nokia with WP7 or an iPhone ???
Please motivate your posts...i just want to see what you guys think around here
Haha, you made a new thread, I saw your post in that other thread
On-topic: 1:What I know is that next spring/ summer I will probably buy *something*. Either a tab or a phone, it depends on how cheap the tabs have gotten. It will either have dual-core or quad-core, we'll see if phones really need more in the future, it all depends on the software development. I don't know if HTC or Samsung and I don't even know if I'm buying Android. It will of course be something Linux, but there are some other nice projects like WebOS and MeeGo as well out there I'm not that found of HTC Sense and I prefer Go Launcher, but as I'm very fond of my HTC phone and Samsung is a bit plastic... Last, if I buy a phone, I want it to have a 3.7 or 4 inch screen. I think 4.3 is too big, but I still want that awesome hardware of the 4.3 phones
2: iPhone: NO WAY!!! Many iPhone guys say that Android is for those who cannot afford iPhone, I say iPhone is for those who are too stupid for Android
Nokia: ... Probably not, as they're going for Windows which is not as open as these other awesome OS
thanks for the post...as i wrote, i just want to see how hero users will go with the next generation of phones or tablets...seems that i'm not the only one that thinks about a tablet instead a phone...
Well i have to wait 2 years to renew my contract xD but i think i will buy one that let me modifie as my vibrant does, you know flashing, themed it

Nice phone...it's big and fast I think of a sensation, because it has a nice offer on vodafone [140 euros] and it's worth a shot..but in the same time...i think on a tablet...an eeepad with tegra 3

Although I absolutely love my hero, I feel, that in the not too distant future (in a months time), I will be getting a new handset, It will be a Android handset, as I love the way it can be customised etc lol, well, I would like to get a SGS2/Sensation, but thats out of my price range....So it will probably be a Desire or a Sony Ericsson handset, Possibly a motorola defy

Motorola will soon release and upgraded version og the Defy with 1ghz prosessor, so wait for that because: 1: The original Defy will be way cheaper 2: the upgraded one will be worth about as much as the old one

Seems that the next phone from htc, the Vigor is quite a super machine...specs include a 1.5 GHz processor and a HD display...but i think it will cost a lot...Wonder what the next iphone will have on board
As for the defy it will be @ 1GHz single core but will be cheap i think.
After reading about the new Sense 3.5 running on the 800 MHz bliss wonder if the hero can run it also...

Haha, its pretty big xD I still gotta wait for 2 more years for my contract to finish
I still have my Hero
Moved on to HTC HD7 - windows phone loved it but NODO didnt help me much
Updated to MANGO recently and really love what Mircosoft is doing so will definately be going for a NOKIA WP7 next Year
Currently enjoying my SAMSUNG GALAXY S2 - Android Phone and love they way I can flash all the latest firmwares without the need to root
So for you I would suggest Either wait for Nokia to come out with windows phone (SEARAY is their first phone to come out )
or
Wait of NEXUS PRIME / MIUI PHONE / or IPHONE 5 which ever takes your fancy
I'm going for the HTC HD2.
Advantage? I can have whatever I want. WP7, Android, WM (even Ubuntu).
It still has good hardware for the time being, and I simply love the design.

[Q] what droid to buy? its costing me nothing :):)

hi all.
well, after a long time debating with vodafail (my phone company) in reguards to reception issues that i am having, they have decided to give, yes give me another phone.
basically, the story is this.
i started on three, with a N97 (worst mistake i ever made) then, switched to voda under the belief that all me reception dramas would be gone, and that my n97 supports all the network bands voda uses, and i will for a long time. fast forward a few months with constant reception problems and, then voda told me that the n97 doesn't support their networks etc... so they gave me a HTC Desire HD (how very nice). and told me that it supported all their networks, and the new ones they were rolling out.... well, that was a lie. and im still having problems, even after i have rooted it, and upgraded the radios, i call htc to ask if the aus version of the dhd made for vodafone, supports the 8503g network (their current rollout) and they said no. so i rang voda up again, and after much debate, this is where i am...
at another free phone.
so, i need some help with the selection of it. below is a list of manufactures that vodafone stock and sell, and basically i want to know either the best sideways or upgrade move there is from the dhd, out of the list of supported manufactures.
the list is thus:
HTC
Apple (not keen on an iphone at all)
Nokia (not keen on Nokia after that N97 P.O.S)
Samsung
Sony Ericson
BlackBerry (dont realy like the look, but am open to looking)
Alcatel (never heard of them)
i would ike a galaxy s2 but apparently there is some issues with the screen or something (unless thats been rectified)
and the only pre-requisit over the dhd i would like, is a better day-time viewing screen. the dhd is a pain to read outside. but thats not a necessity.
so, there it is. any phone is available to me for free, so whats the best.
Cheers

umm, honestly this is a huge question completely redirected by WHAT phones they actually offer. HTC and Samsung have some BADASS phones right now so if you can get the Sensation Or SGS II id choose one of those.

Every phone manufacturer got their specialities.
Example that htc with htc sense,
sony with their facebook inside,and better camera.
Out there got many variety of phone to choose form. To choose what u needed,i think u go to gsmarena and use advance search to fit ur need. And read the phone review there.
Have a nice day to choose ur phone...
P/s:
I Buy HTC Desire Z is to fit my demand on typing, facebook, and nice camera editing.
And install Mytouch4g slide rom that have improved image captured.
Well the desire z docent support 850 3g. So its out. Are there any problems with the gs2? And are they hardware or software, and fixable by rooting and flashing a new rom?

Htc one X v.s Samsung Galaxy SIII

Well I am sure you have Heard of the launch of the HTC one X and Samsung Galaxy SII a couple of days ago but which is better?
Need some good research
One X is sexy period and the S3 isn't.

I like both phones, and both have their ups and down.
I like both companies new iterations of their proprietary skins, Sense 4.0 looks great and TouchWiz (5?) has a bunch of new helpful features (and I like old ones such as swipe a name to call/message). The One X definately wins in the looks department but I don't think the SGS III is as ugly as most make it out to be. However I hear the battery life isn't so great on the One X, and a portion of the screen is wasted for an onscreen menu button due to HTC basing it on the layout Google set out (which is stupid I think, there's no reason to have a seperate multitasking button when holding down Home for 1-2 seconds works perfectly fine.)
All in all I think the SGS III offers more benefits to the user, even if HTC does win in certain areas (better looking, better camera, more refined interface). If I were actually buying one of the two I'd like to try them out side by side before making a final decision, but at this stage I'm going to say Galaxy S III.
S3 cuz of us storage mode and lte
Sent from my Unnamed 2.0.1 EL29 powered Galaxy S2 brought to you by Sprint
I think htc is better software and design wise but the s3 might have better battery life and camera also samsung tends to have phone really lightweight but it just depends what you prefer : sense or touchwiz?
Sent From My Sexy Sensation.
After using the sensation for about a month I had to get rid of it because of sense. I seriously do not like sense.. It really annoys me for some reason. I know that you'd probably be able to root it and custom rom the One X but to be honest i would much rather just go with the s3.
I would say the S3. I like every spec that it have. Im not going to say that the X One is a bad phone because it isn't, its a great great phone, but i just like Samsung more.

I like how Samsung is focusing on Software, why make a super pocket computer if you dont have good apps to exploit that power?
S-voice is something that should have been present on Android earlier...
The good thing is that is very probable to see all that software ported to other devices
I'm still very happy with my HTC Sensation XL, but if I would buy a new phone now it would definatly be the One X.
I was really looking forward to the Galaxy S III, but the plastic keeps me away again.
I think the design is just too bad and I've always loved the HTC devices so it wouldn't be a though choice for me.

+1 my exact same thought. except i would never get caught holding a samsung phone.
Hello guys.
This is something I'm wondering about as I'm planning to buy a new device soon. I love HTC's build quality and the Legend was the best looking phone I've ever owned.
On the other hand, I'm currently using a Galaxy S i9000 which I absolutely hated out of the box but fell in love with once I discovered the great work by developers on this site.
Development for i9000 and Samsung in general is very active here. Could an HTC owner please tell me how it is on the other side of the fence? My decision will eventually come down to the availability of custom ROMS from XDA.

hi
till recently and even now i have one HTC phone which is being used by my wife(very low end one) I can give it to u guaranteed their will be great development for any HTC phone u buy in fact to my knowledge XDA was and still is Famous for HTC development support . so cool man go buy any HTC phone ull have fun here
Another S3 vote here.
The only thing the HOX has over the S3 is the screen, and that's debatable depending on whether you prefer LCD or AMOLED and their accompanying traits.
Both great phones, but the S3 wins on processor/GPU grunt and software innovation.
The slight camera advantage that the HOX had has been demolished by Samsung copying it's main features and bettering them (burst mode, best shot, voice activated capture) - and Samsung cameras have always been pretty good hardware-wise anyway.
SD card support, removable battery, probably better battery life (than the Tegra 3 HOX), the list goes on - and that's even before you get into the software side of things which I won't bother with as I assume you have/are capable of looking all that up.

2nd times 10. Samsung phones feel so dang cheap you forget about what a good phone should feel like. I hated my GSII and went to the HTC One S and it is just night and day for me. I get signal in places I didn't before. The slim form factor and the build quality and just so superior. Never say never but I doubt I will be grabbing another Samsung. (Vibrant owner and GSII)
Obviously there is no perfect phone as I am not a fan of where they put the volume buttons and how large they are in contrast to the wake\sleep button but overall outstanding device. My good friend keep on about his One X and I see why. Sense has some really nice things about it. Twiz is the devil. Add to that Samsung's update issue and industry worse no looking back to support devices and that is enough for me. I am not saying they are wrong it just doesn't work for me going forward.
I really like the design & build quality of HTC One X.. Both are polycarbonate plastic but HTC did the right thing! But SGS III beats One X in almost every single category.. So SGS III for me.. I don't care about the design anyway since i will use casing.. lol

[Q] Should I go back to Samsung?

Hi there,
I recently owned many Samsung devices shown in my sig, but I moved to HTC One X because I wanted to try something new.
Is it a worthy upgrade to move to the LTE variant of the S3 with 2GB RAM and Quad core Exynos chip?
Sorry if this question has been asked before, I just need to make a quick decision within a few hours.
Thanks

Hi Nicholas,
I had a HTC Desire then Samsung Galaxy SII and my current phone is the SIII. Its the international version as I'm in the UK but for me the battery and micro SD card are what sold the SIII to me. It would help to know why you want to switch as even though I chose the SIII the HTC One X is still a capable device. Do you use the stock experience or a custom ROM? I really hate HTC nonsense, more than Samsung Whiz. If I were you I'd flash a nice ROM on the HTC and wait for the SIIII. Seriously the Tegra 3 is capable I love it on this Nexus 7. Just better without HTCs alterations... if that's what annoy you about it.

Yeah I really love the expandable memory in the phone, the battery is no biggie for me as the One X can handle a day of standby and just drop 20%. I run a custom ROM.
The stock and custom ROM experience doesn't really make a difference for me. The Sense interface is extremely laggy and I constantly drop calls because for some reason the other party can't hear me properly. The Tegra3 is indeed great, but if I need to run T3 apps I'll be like you and just run it on my Nexus 7.
I grew extremely frustrated at my One X as I had many hardware problems such as screen creaks, as well as the constant deep sleeps it jumps into where I can't wake my phone up, calls can't be picked up and alarms can't be dismissed. I jumped from S2 but I really miss it as it was a more rigid and stable experience in my opinion.
The thing that got me looking into the S3LTE were the Note II specs in your hand, 2GB RAM and Quad core Exynos chip. It's great.

Mmm Nexus 7. I did like the SII... it was great and although I like the SIII I should have waited for the Note II I think. Don't get me wrong the SIII is excellent. The Exynos chip is fantastic btw. I find it very responsive. 1GB ram is enough, I use the SuperNexus ROM.
My family and friends with HTC handsets have has nothing but reliability issues like what you experience but also in hardware. My girlfriend had a Legend and it was plagued by battery problems. My sister has a Desire HD plagued by battery issues and it had lpudspeaker and volume button issues. Its been in for repair three times. I tried the One X and also found it to be less premium than the SIII even though it physically looks as though it would be stronger lol.
So what's the decision?

IMO, the Note II is a little too big as I need my phone with me at all times. The Note II is indeed a great phone, but as I always run around dealing with things, the massiveness will cause it to keep swinging left and right, damaging the phone. Basically anything under 5" is acceptable.
I went to get my phone repaired more than 10 times. I even have a post here on XDA explaining my stories haha.
I guess I'll choose to get it then

Wow that's awful lol. Oh yeah my mums HTC Wildfires battery has died. The volume rocker on my now defunct Desire has lost volume rocker functionality. It was good while it lasted though. Good luck with the new phone. Hope it doesn't spend so much time being repaired so far none of my Samsung devices have had issues.

From my point of view it doesn't worth to buy s3 in 2014 and I will tell you why, don't get me wrong it is a good phone but not extraordinary.That 1 GB of ram is not that capable with 4.3, or 4.4 sammy and the bad exynos processor bleahh, so I advise you not to buy S3, or any Samsung( it is a totally s*** ), now depends on how much money you have for your new phone

Maybe take a look at the S4? It costs around 300$ if you find the right seller
Now I would buy a nexus 5, a little bit more expensive but it's a really nice phone.
After a S1 and a S3 I also need some changes.
Yosh,
Don't forget the LG3.
G3,S4,NX5 all of them are expensive in my country.Maybe G pro has same price as SGS3.Will try to look up at right seller.

great features,yeah maybe...features like smart scroll,smart stay and other smart features I never used,this occupe alot of RAM and slows down the device and if the device has 1 gb of ram the situation is even worst.Best phones NO,I mean there a alot of brands better than Samsung,if you ever used a HTC you know what I mean,it(HTC,in general) has not as much bloat as samsung puts in their phones,samsung puts tooooo much bloat...of course this is just my opinion and I still don't recommend Samsung anymore,I regret that I bought S3 but this is the life

Hmm...don't know what to say I used a HTC one s and at that time I had a s2 as well and the one s was more faster, cooler and the battery was much better so I remain at my point of view that Samsung is no more a big manufacturer, at least for me... )
And if I would to buy a new phone I definitely choose a AOSP phone, like nexus 5 or ONEPLUS ONE

I'd also say don't bother. The display's picture quality is rather poor compared to the competitors at the time and all of the current gen high-end phones. My phones wifi is defective, effectively giving me 2-3m range. The back peels off and the fake metal plastic rim gets damaged very easily. The led indicator is only good at displaying R, G or B, as it doesn't mix effectively at all. The display and resolution needs to be a bit larger, as the lack of quality makes certain tasks difficult. I'd suggest a bigger display anyway. The Samsung official software (I'm currently using S5 software), is rather lacking, it hides useful Android features and gives a plethora of useless features which are poorly organised into categories.
I'm considering getting a new phone. It's hardware is pretty good, but it could be so much better in every aspect.

Get a g2. Port over sense and collect that $1000 bounty. Then get whatever phone your heart desires
No, Don't buy it. If u want an older smartphone choose the HTC One M7. S3 is just too outdated imo and I hate touchwiz from samsung hence why I have AOSP
If I were you go I'd go for Moto G.If from older devices: HTC One M7,also if you can look at HTC Desire 816 (if price in your country of it isn't very high) if price is too high you can look at HTC Desire 601.If you wanna be update to date with Android updates choose Nexus 5 .Just everythng depends on your needs. But Galaxy S3 won't get official Kitkat update (so officially it abandoned and forgotten by Samsung) also,Sudden Death syndrome bug (it will only depend on luck if you will get affected or not affected by it)
