So I'm coming from a Samsung Infuse, and honestly, this phone cannot piss me off even more than I already am. I'm talking about constant resets (stuck power button), terrible GPS reception, UNBEARABLE LAG even with the latest paranoid android, and finally, messed up APN settings which bares the phone useless since I can't have any service on it! So now you understand of my struggles with my current phone. I'm in search for something that I can rely on and won't have even the slightest bit of lag after 2+ years of owning it.
Now, I've been doing some research on some phones (gs3, htc one x, htc one, gs4) And I come here to find out your honest opinion on the GS3 since the time you've owned it. Should I save some cash buying a GS3 or a One X, or are there some sort of problems with these phones that have ticked you off that I should consider paying the extra buck and looking at the 2013 flagships instead?
I would suggest the SIV over the SIII..

The S4 might will not have CM support in anytime soon...

OP, if I were you, I'd wait until the S4. Not because the S4 is a good phone, we don't really know. But because I'd like to know if the S3 sources are to be released. Otherwise, stay away from exynos.
You'll thank me later.

If you really want an S3, what about the I9305? 2G RAM! If you can afford a G4 go for that instead, if cash is tight perhaps a second hand G3. Should be a few out there soon cheap, when people have upgraded.

If you can get the S3 for a gooood price, get it and install SlimBean no lag at all stable as rock. Faster then a n4

I'd recommended waiting for the S4. The S3 is a great phone but at least you'll be future-proof with the Galaxy S4 (in terms of updates, camera, display, and RAM). That's quite a lot of things!

Yeah it's a drawback, one I would find myself very hard to live with, but I would make compromises. I love that my S3 is capable of reading sdcards but I would easily give up that for something that runs lovely aosp as awesomely as the Nexus

I would be probably on Nexus 4 already if it supports USB OTG to mount external drives.
S3 have bad multitasking management, huge delay when you open dialer, mms and galery app.
I have spent lot of hours to fix these issues thanks to xda devs. It is a good phone (huge battery removable, good screen, ext sd card, powerfull) with a bad programmation.
I advise you a nexus one or a htc.

All i'm saying is to get a phone with 2Gb of ram. S4 or even the S3 with 4G is fine. The N4 is subject to different considerations (do you want an sdcard, etc) but it's a powerhouse too.
While the S3 nearly doesn't lag at all, not having multitask isn't fun and you'll definitly have a better experience if your apps aren't closing all the time due to lack of memory. This annoys me to no end and i'm replacing it whenever an oportunity arrises.

Yikes! Just got my brand New Galaxy Tab last Tuesday and now I've been informed that there is a Note 10.1 around the corner.
The "only" difference I've seen so far is that it will pack a 1.4 processor, stock ICS, and external sd card slot.
Since I got this one in Costco is returnable. However, I think the Note will start @ $500 (maybe more...)
I dunno... You guys think is worth the wait?
It's just that I have a SGS2 and is sooo much faster than this Tab. Will flashing a custom ROM to this tab make a difference in speed?
Thank you for taking my question.

Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium HD app
You missed the whole point huh, the pressure sensitive stylus?
Value is a subjective thing though, only you know what you need out of the device. Going with the note will surely mean a longer wait for development of custom ROMs. If the added features make up for that as well as the delay between launch and shipment then go for it.
Me personally i find the idea of the stylus intriguing but then the ram limitation (the 1gb of ram, not sure if this is an Android system restriction at this time but I'm guessing so) is cause for pause for me. We all look at lag critically and i always wonder how additional system ram would improve that. If increasing it on a standard PC improves performance to a degree then surely on a tablet it would as well. Of course that would add additional cost but I'm sure many would spring for premium models with more memory. I bring up this issue because of Samsung partnering with adobe on the inclusion of Photoshop touch with the note. Moving towards marketing tablets for graphic production using the stylus needs to come along with the ability to do it well without the lag and unresponsiveness shown in the demos. Surely there are driver optimizations that can help yes but anyone who uses Photoshop regularly to do production knows that ram is hugely important.
Baby steps though, the note is certainly a welcome addition to the tablet arena. If an LTE one comes out in the next year is certainly consider it.

Return it and keep saving to get the galaxy note 10.1. I read a couple weeks back they were holding of release til june to switch out the dual core processor for a quad core processor. I think it would be worth returning any tablet to get the galaxy note 10.1 if this rumor is true.

If this rumor is true I will crap my pants

Google may also be releasing a Nexus tablet next month - in the lower price-point range as well. Hold off for now.
Thinking about getting one. I know someone who has a t-mobile one.
Is it easy to root/unlock. I'd love to play with CM10 on it does it run well?
Other than GPS and intermittent 911 issues, the CM10 based ROMs that I've used run nicely.
As far as unlocking, you can simply download a free market app that will unlock your Vibrant.
For a phone that has been out now for.... over two years? It still hangs tough with the big boys in my opinion. If you have the opportunity to get one, my advice would be to go ahead and give it a shot. I think you'll like it.
You were just sliced bread before you were burnt by the toaster.
As my boy toaster said, this phone is the little android that could. Samsung and
T-homobile wrote this device off, never updating past froyo. Well the beautiful minds of cyanogen/xda community knew that the capabilities of this device was greater so we got cm7/GB based ROMs. The haters said this device wouldn't run ICS, the great minds proved that it would. Now JB ROMs are running smooth!! My 2 1/2 year old phone is running android 4.1.2, while over 90% of new phones are still on ICS.
If you find a vibrant for sale, for a good price, grab it!
** Make sure its the t959 3g, not a t959v 4g. The t959v has a front facing camera, runs 4g*, and comes with inception on it.
But the t959v only has a 4gb internal SD card vs the vibes 16gb SD card. It is limited because of that, not nearly as many people dev'ing for it.
**very easy to root etc if you read and follow directions!
No tickee, no laundry!
I always go back to this device after using much more expensive ones for some reason. I don't like new phones that lack microSD slot and transfer using MTP mode. My previous S3 had MTP issues that cause transferring to be extremely slow and freeze up midway.
This thing run JellyBean surprisingly smooth. GPS just need an easy hardware fix. It can playback HD MKV videos without problems if you're using the right software. The only lacking thing about this phone is the GPU which can't handle new games anymore.
Side note, I just rebought a Nexus S because my Vibrant charging port broke, but it's actually not as good. Has issue with slow USB transferring with ICS and JB that haven't been fixed since forever. The camera despite LED flash is not as good and worthless for macro and nightshots. I don't understand this, but for a Nexus device, it's actually less stable than the Vibrant with reboots with stock roms. Also Semaphore kernel and its manager app for the Vibrant has more customization than the Nexus S kernels.
With that said this phone is getting dated. I'm still searching for a proper upgrade, with 4-4.3" screen, removable battery, pentaband or with 1700 and 1900 3g band, microsd slot, a better camera, higher than 800x480 res, and Cyanogenmod supported. I haven't found a device that meet these criterias yet, the Blaze come close and just got CM10 supported so it might be better to get than the Vibrant at this point. Looking at new phones, some missing features of the LG Nexus 4 is more if a backward step to me than an upgrade. The S3 mini looks more like a lackluster attempt by Samsung to cash off their S3 popularity, I might had been interested if it had a higher res screen.

Sent from that one guy with the cool phone
I'd allways take a google phone first, but (IMO) the Nexus4 sucks, so I would choose the s3
Also, if you like the pure android interface, you can allways flash the CM 10.1
regards - Cartman
i would defently go for S3
nexus 4 is boring it is so bareboned with software
and also the on screen buttons take the space away
Samsung Galaxy S3 is amazing phone, you can always flash a custom ROM which will make your phone to work as fast as Nexus 4!
And yes, Touchwiz ROM is quite slow, for example to open contacts it's takes about 4-5 seconds, but if you will flash a custom ROM this problem will gone!
Anyone else?

Not really. To have off screen buttons they'd have to have made the screen smaller. If the s3 went for on screen buttons, the screen could have been longer but it would have been as useless as not being an extended screen. Buttons on screen or off screen leave the same amount of screen left over only the latter is easier

whether the difference in the amount of ram has a big influence on System android? especially for Jelly Bean OS 4.1.x - 4.2.x - 4.3.

Coming from a Sony xperia with a snapdragon s4 pro, i can only say that i'm blown away like a poor guy that stepped on a mine. Best phone 2013.

Best phone to date! You will be amazed from the speed and battery life.

LG G2 and Paranoid Android 4.0 is a match made in geek heaven. I love this phone and haven't even thought of trading it (coming from a guy that has had the S4, iPhone 5, and iPhone 5s all in the past 7 months because he wasn't satisfied.)

Any extreme bugs? Thinking about switching from cm10.2.

Come on, faster?
Noooo. 4.4 debloated and running in art mode on this thing is ridiculous fast, and the extra free ram and fewer running processes make for much better multitasking.

If you have much free ram on android something is wrong. Android is based on Linux and it runs faster with the ram as full as possible.

There is no point repeating this, mate. There will always be "smarter" people who will claim that free RAM is good as if our phones were running Windows 95.
How do you like your new G2, OP?

Hey, think what you guys want. Haha
There's a reason they keep including more ram in phone's. But hey you guys know best right?
Hahahaha. K.
More free ram will always allow for more multitasking and a snappier opening of apps. If you geniuses want to run your phone's bogged down to ahead. More running processes also loads the cpu.
There's so much wrong in what you guys are saying it's not even funny.
How do you think the infamous v6 supercharger script worked?

That article was written 2 years ago and was incorrect when it was written. Do you understand that an article isn't definitive proof? You just linked me to the opinion of another because you're not intelligent enough to articulate the idea your self.

I would take Houstonn's PA 4.0 over CM. I use PA as my daily driver and I don't see any bugs. FYI, I use my G2 as a phone, meaning Emails, calls, sms, internet( for info search only), gps, lite YT and all of these work just fine for me.
Can't complain with mine....coming from L920.....very fast, running with Buckeye 2.1....mostly stock, just debloated.....LG G2 has come a long way from the LG G2x...I hated that phone mostly due to the poor battery life....and the crashes and reboots.....gave it to my son then passed on to his mom, the ex-wife, but surprisingly, she's still using it.
