So... It looks as though Hero development may end with Gingerbread (2.3). Honeycomb (3.0) looks very tablet orientated and some devs are already stating it may be hard to port it.
My question is, after the resilient little Hero, what would be the next best handset to move to? A lot of people have mentioned the Desire HD or the Desire Z, but I'd like to hear from you guys, what do you think?
Update: I prefer a HTC handset myself, but which would be a good one to move to for the next set of decent ROMs??
I also believe, that after getting fully operational 2.3 with 2.6.35 kernel it will be pretty much it
Contracts are ending (I have one more year to go), developers are moving to other projects.
I hope that we will have one day "[GPL][2.3][2.6.35]Final Rom for hero".
After hero? Well, perhaps some crazy samsung device (although their quality isn't as good as HTC). I'm sure I'll stick with android, one of the best choices ever made
cheers!
I'll keep my Hero until a Tegra 2 device is realeased
I'm going to hang on to my hero for as long as possible... But I'm starting to think the Nexus S might be the next decent handset to move to, no-ones started developing ROMs yet though... Although I did notice Cyanogen had created a thread in his forum for it
I think 2.3 is maximum for Hero. Honeycomb is likely their requirements opportunities Hero.

I take that back!!! Nexus S is a Samsung handset, and got a fairly "meh" review on The Register.
It's a personal issue; I just don't like Samsung phones!!

I have to admit, this looks like the root (sorry!) I'm most likely to take.
The Nexus S seems to be a decent choice
But after putting froyo on my hero for the first time and seeing how fast it became, I think I can wait for the next reference phone
Hopefully, the next one will have a full RGB AMOLED instead of the Pentile PoS on the current Nexus S
On my next phone I'm looking for:
Tegra 2 or similar, perhaps dual core hummingbird with dedicated gpu
300+ dpi RGB AMOLED screen
Proper capacitative multitouch
Hard buttons
NO FINGERPRINT MAGNET, minimal gloss&plastic, good materials
In any case, would Honeycomb be for tablets? I assumed that honeycomb won't come to phones

yep, same hear, dual core is the way forward.
I plan to run the hero, cancel my TMO contract and get a giffgaff PAYG sim until a decent Tegra2 (preferrably HTC!) comes to the market.
not sure if i'd go back on contract or stick with giffgaff...i'll see how they perform, then buy the handset sim free (ouch?!?)

personally, i think there will be a version of Honeycomb for phones, when the dual core handsets become more readily available. maybe a 'cut down' version.
i have Hero for like 8 months now. Pretty good phone, but still a little bit slow, only compared to other smartphones (but as a phone, it is great).
But yesterday i bought SGS.
for my girlfriend. i hate world
Sorry, what's an SGS?
Uopdate: OH! Samsung Galaxy S?

it depends on your needs i think. if you're flashjunky like me our hero will end soon i think because the processors won't be enough soon.
and also be careful about screen, only desire (not z nor hd) has amoled screen. so for better screen sharpness, you may get desire for now. and also it gets great scores

It's looking like a HTC Desire at the moment. I was told to avoid the Desire and go for a Desire HD or Desire Z. Not sure why though, the Desire is the only one of the three with an AMOLED display...
I've had the Hero for just over a year now, and honestly, jailbreaking it has given it a new lease of life. That said though, it's definitely not gonna get 3.0 by the looks of things, and I'd rather not get left behind in terms of software updates. I will likely get an HTC or a Samsung; both companies make good hardware that's pretty powerful. I have considered buying a Nexus S outright, but it's kinda beyond my budget right now...

Completely agree with you. I bought a Hero when my iPhone went t*ts up.
But my concern was that the newer versions of Android are going to require faster hardware and there will come a point where the Hero just won't be able to cut it anymore. So what's the next best handset to go up to? At the moment a HTC Desire
Well, it's looking like either Nexus S, or Desire for me =P
Hi I am trying to figure out which new Android QWERTY phone to get (or wait for) and wanted to get some feedback from the forum. At this point it looks like either the myTouch 4G Slide or the Droid 3 are my best bets however it seems there are some new sliders coming out soon that might be worth waiting (1-2 mo max) for. One thing that I’ve had a hard time with is the CDMA vs GSM, I work abroad so I have to have a GSM phone but some of the phones I have considered seem to be CDMA only?
Any opinions, advice, etc would really be appreciated!
Cheers,
-Gaiko
I have the Desire Z which I highly recommend! However if you are willing to invest more money it can also be a good idea to wait for upcoming models which will be more expensive. You can get the Desire Z for about 200€ now!

Thanks for the recommendation. I had seriously considered the desire z but also wanted something that was a bit better prepared for future upgrades (dual core cpu) so eventually decided to opt for one of the a fore mentioned phones but your right, nothing but good reviews out there for the dz!
cheers
I've researched this like mad- the only phone that meets your criteria (very similar to mine) was the Desire Z. For the price, it seems like a great phone. However I eventually caved and got the O2X.
I'm buying a new phone and I want an android one. But there are many android phones and so can't decide which one I should buy. Which one may be the best android phone?
Please give me some advices.
These are the phones I think they are great..
SG3 ( should I wait till this out? and will it the best one? )
SG2 ( now this device probably isn't the best one anymore, right? )

Sorry for if I did anything wrong and please point out what I am doing wrong since this is my very first post in this forum.
And sorry for my English.
Android Devices
I believe there are several things to consider when choosing an Android device to buy.
First, what do you plan on doing with it? [beyond just using it as a phone ]
ROM development, app/game development, gaming, scuba diving, etc.
Second, what's your budget? This is definitely the most important factor, since international GSM versions of the phones you listed are rather pricey [approx 500 - 700 USD]
Lastly, network compatibility. [supported bands]
You probably want to make sure you get a phone that supports your carrier... although this isn't absolutely necessary
If you are using it for development of ROMs, any upcoming device is recommended, since they can always use more devs, though you should be wary of locked bootloaders [such as those found in Motorola devices]
Devices suggested: GS3, HTC One S/X, Galaxy Nexus.
If you're using it for app/game development, any Nexus device would be your best bet, as they set the standards for Android
Devices suggested: Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus.
If you just want to play games, then grab the latest and greatest!
Devices suggested: GS2, GS3, HTC One S/X, ASUS Padfone [whenever it comes out ]
I personally have a Galaxy Nexus [GSM], and vouch for it's delicious Ice Cream Sandwich
If this helped at all, I'd appreciate it if you clicked "thanks"
Sorry, I couldn't find the thanks button but will do it when I see the thanks button. But thanks anyway. It helped.
But is galaxy nexus's battery life good?
Hi everyone!
I am sorry if I am not supposed to post this question somewhere else
Well,as the title says,I need your opinion for a purchase I want to do on a Android smartphone.
To be honest I am confused!
Okay to be more specific,the phones I really liked most are the following :
1)Samsung Galaxy S III
2)LG OPTIMUS 4X HD P880
3)HTC ONE X
And there is one rumored :
4)LG LS970 Eclipse 4G LTE(not compatible with my country's carriers,but I believe that this phone will be released to other countries too)
Now you might be wondering why am I looking for rumored phones,well consider this as a stupid thing that I always do with things I want to buy.
According to the budget,I will say that I can give 500-700$
I want the phone mostly,for emails,organizer,calendar,browsing on the internet,movies and most important for development.
So which one you recommend?I have heard tons of things for each phone.Please justify your answer.It would be really helpful!
P.S.: I have posted accidentally almost the same thing in a wrong sub-forum!Sorry for that mods!!!
Okay I got +1000000 ( ) for HTC ONE X from orb3000.What you guys think?
Based on your needs
I think it does matter more why you wanna use that device?
So, it should meet your interests and your needs.
SG2 vs SG3= For me there are no difference in terms of my needs as well applications. But for you maybe you got fond of the new features
Budget does matter
Are you referring to my question hweidi or to the initial one?Because if you do refer to my question I mention all the things that you ask on the #4 post on this page.
take something from the new HTC
I see that people start hating a bit Samsung.Why is that?Is it because of the design and the plastic they use to make the phones?

I would want to know about your opinions too.. Actually I am a Symbian (N8) user and was planning to go for Nokia 808.., but then I felt SGS III hardware is the best at the moment.. I know mostly everything about Symbian and if I will ditch it and go for SGSIII, that will be my first Android phone and considering my zero knowledge in Android .. I am a little bit wondering whether I should make that leap since I love modding stuff and since it will be my first Android device, it will take much longer to learn about it to get ready and start exploring stuff in Android..
So do you guys think I should move to SGS-III?
Also I tried to find some very very basic FAQs threads about Android but couldn't so if anyone could lead me to a right direction, I will be glad and thankful.
Thanks.
As for the nokia I would say that it was my favorite company,I am a proud owner of a Nokia N900.Unfortunately due to its financial problems Nokia is sinking like a boat.It doesn't have money for research and development of innovative technologies.Add to that,the fact that Microsoft bought it and now most of the new Nokia devices,except for a few others like the 808,run Windows Phone,which in my personal opinion still needs way to much development to reach Android/iOS(although I am a hater of the iPhone and not a Microsoft hater).Also,Google is the new superpower/master of the game and almost everyday comes with something new.Think also that Samsung,LG,HTC,Motorola,NVidia(and eventually Intel) they possess money for hardware development(CPUs,GPUs,GPS chips,NFC chips,batteries,camera sensors,pcb reference designs,screens,etc....).So basically,you should move to android.Mind that companies/descent software developers make software for people who probably don't know that much from technology and that is why they try to make it as easy and comfortable and flawless in use.As for you you won't have problem to learn the use of an Android phone and as for the fact that you want to do mods/hacks to an Android phone if you are a Unix/Linux user you won't have a problem as the philosophy is the almost same(not precisely but almost).But even if you are not a Unix/Linux user then again you won't face any problems!
It's all about on how much research you do on something.
That's my personal opinion on your question.
As for my question to help other members to answer my question what concerns me most is if it is better to have qualcomm(quad core)/exynos/tegra 3 and adreno/mali/nvidia ulp combination?

Note: Microsoft did not buy Nokia. They only went into partnership.
As for the answer to your question, if you do not browse the web and/or play games frequently on your phone (means you are not a heavy user), any of those are fine. If you are a heavy gamer, I would recommend the Tegra 3 + ULP Geforce GPU. For battery life, the Snapdragon S4 performs better than the Tegra. For normal day to day usage (web browsing etc), I would recommend Exynos.

Hi
Yea but these press conferences seems to bang on about US release dates and trying to find out about UK dates is a nightmare, the HTC website never tells you anything and mobile providers like carfone warehouse are always the last to know.
I was just looking around this afternoon and came across the news of a new One X, called the One X+, and with my old contract up on Thursday I'm glad I saw the new One X+ due for release, I guess I'll have to wait a bit longer to upgrade my HTC Desire HD.
I was going to buy the Flyer when it was first released but held off because I didn't want to use it (note taking) like the Samsung Galaxy Note, and for me the flyer is a tad too small as a tablet. I have the Acer A700 now - never looked back.
I shall watch and search for interest on the 19th news of a UK release date for the One X+
NEW HTC Flyer to be released, search for pocket-lint in google.
Cheers.

One X+ might be just for US though...Since they do not have the quadcore version they might be just getting that...But time will tell. Regarding tablets just wanna have the best of both worlds and might be going for the ipad...we shall see though..and the one x at the moment is a great phone even with the new upgrade if it becomes worldwide available..still do not get the logic if it does and it is an upgrade for the current one x...thought they will not be releasing so many models in a calendar year...but if it is a phablet then i would say would be a great upgrade for you mate

Sell it on eBay if you want a slightly newer phone already.
important hoping it is just a minor upgrade. i would prefer HTC not to make it 5" because it might as well be 4.7 not much different. if t is 5.5" then it won't seem as if the one x is outdated because it is a different category of device. hoping it is a sensation to sensation xe upgrade

Apple are looking for and can afford (due to the app store) customer lock in.
HTC does not have this additional revenue stream.
If you wanted a phone with feature X, buy a phone with feature X. Damn, these days people feel so entitled to everything. Get a job and pay for it, rather than expecting everything for free and complaining when you don't.
There will be no trade in, they don't need to do this. 4G is only just about to start in the UK so obviously the One X didn't cater for that as the technology wasn't available in the UK at that time. If you need 4G then sell your One X and fund it towards the One X+.

You're gonna need a hand to get down off that high horse of yours. Don't act a twit. No one mentioned anything about a free phone swap. What was mentioned was a subsidised trade-in. i.e. I pay a £100 plus my HOX and get a HOX+. Hardly unreasonable.

Of course it's unreasonable. If you go to work one day and the boss pays you, you don't expect him to take 80% of that wage off you when you work the next day.
HTC are running a business not a charity designed to enable the world with the latest smartphone.
Sell the old phone and buy the new one. HTC are hardly required to deal with the second hand market. They don't have a retail presence strong enough for it for a start.

What you're saying doesn't even make sense in the real world. Apple lock people into the iPhone with subsidies. As such Samsung offered subsidies at the Samsung store with users upgrading from the GS2 to the GS3. You do understand about locking your users into a brand right. It's better to get some money now rather than risk losing them all together when their contract is up. You build a premium by incentiviseing a purchase. The more people to have a phone a phone, the stronger your brand.

I have a One X+ & my wife has the SGS3. Both are excellent phones with similar battery life but my personal preference is for Sense over Touchwizz. Others will no doubt disagree. What I can tell you is whichever phone you choose you will not be disappointed.
You'll probably get a better deal from your network on an X+ though just because of the Samsung hype.

I'm one that likes Touchwiz over Sense but still bought the X+ cause of the tegra cpu, wanted to play thd games, lol, also i have no ideea why but I used a S3 for a kinda long time and can't really say i like the way it is built cause i feel like it could slip from my hand in any moment, and it also feels too fragile and in my opinion the borders are kinda big, but if I'd be to recommend one of them for software i would say S3 cause we have no s-off on the X+ and also not many non-sense roms, and some of them are outdated also, also an other + for s3 is that as much as i would play with it it won't heat like the X+ does, but also the battery drains faster in games than on the X+, so yah for the op, it's more of a preferance thing, cause at the hardware part they are preety close......but they do behave different.....also what i forgot to say is i feel like in 3d games the X+ has much much better colors.....but for someone not useing it for games that is useless....
I love the One X + and would prefer to keep that.
I would suggest to have a look at Nexus 4 which could be of the same price levels or even better wait for a month and look at the new Nexus 4 which might be available by may.
On an the other context of a modern hardware, it is preferable to choose the latest generation hardware. The processor in One X+ and SGS 3 are definitely outdated on date
I bought the One X+ because of the 64 GB of storage. It also has no problems with .mkv files over 4 GB unlike most other phones.
I had the same doubt chose the HTC, just because i liked it more overall, also much better looking.
I had the same choice back in November. FWIW I'm on AT&T here in the US. I ended up with the HOX+ over the SGIII mostly based on just the feel in my hands. I prefer the more solid build of the HOX+ to the flimsier plastic on the SGIII. I'd still probably stick with that reasoning over the SG4 which just came out.
As for the Nexus 4, I chose the HOX+ mostly for storage and LTE. Although, looking back, I may have sprung for the Nexus 4 if I could do it again. The decrease in storage I'd deal with for the opportunity to run some AOSP, PA, and other original ROMs instead of just Sense based ones. In general, I'd probably go back and pick a phone with more developer activity than the HOX+. We have some excellent devs, like Lloir and solomon working on AOSP for the HOX+, but they are running into some roadblocks with the LTE radio. So in general, if dev support on XDA is important to you, and you'd like more than just Sense-based ROMS, i'd stay away from the HOX+.
If they release an updated Nexus 4 with LTE and 32GB storage, I'll probably sell my HOX+ and buy one.

Also, is there a reason you don't want the HTC One? Better screen, can get just as much storage, already getting great dev support, Ultrapixel camera, rave reviews...unless price is an issue there's not much reason to go with an HOX+ at this point.

I have a One X+ & my wife has the SGS3. Both are excellent phones with similar battery life but my personal preference is for Sense over Touchwizz. Others will no doubt disagree. What I can tell you is whichever phone you choose you will not be disappointed.
You'll probably get a better deal from your network on an X+ though just because of the Samsung hype.

When I started searching the models, the first thing I did was to check custom roms for Nexus 4, S3 and X+ LOL
Ofcousre for me it matters. :laugh:
Moreover to be honest I left the thought of Nexus just for its internal space with no sd slot .....seriously sad for such a awesome device
Do you have any news for upcoming Nexus 4 with 32 gb?? I don't think they would ....atleast after the news for Nexus 5
Actually the reason for HTC one is price only :laugh: I can't afford that much.....news say it starts at 45k
