What phone to get? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I got the I9001(S Plus) for a long time now and he's getting real slow.
Anyway, I want to buy a new phone.
What do you guys recommend me?
Budget around 400 euros.
I was personally thinking between the HTC One X or the Galaxy S3.
But isn't the S3 outdated?
Thanks in advance!

What phone should i upgrade to after the GALAXY S2???

I had been using a galaxy s2 for a couple of months now and i wanna know what the best upgrade is???
PLEASE: NO APPLE PRODUCTS ALLOWED!!!
iPhone.
You deserved that for asking such a ridiculous question. How would we know ? We own SGS2s Ergo, go ask people who own different phones what they think of their phones so you can make a decision.
Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX.
If you can't handle the price tag,sit yourself here on this armchair and be content -> _-/

Just another useless post.
Seriously? You have had the s2 for only a couple of months and now you already want to upgrade? Are you one of those people who get 6 phones every year?

I usually have three phones a year and I'm poor? I just keep it in great condition and trade my old phone against the new phone. So don't be judgemental.

All of those phones are quite fast and have a lot of development going on. If money is not a major factor, you may want to go with the Galaxy SIII or the One X. The Galaxy Nexus is also pretty good and has great development (for a lower price). The Sensation is a good choice too but it wouldn't be my first .
Ok thanks

In my opinion Galaxy SIII, it's quit handy as compared to One X

Nexus One

I have decided to get a Nexus One
I have no money but i don't want to stick with Optimus One either. I found a nexus one for 100.99 USD(less than what I paid for in the optimus one)
It has pretty decent specs and will last me another few years
It has been a pleasure being in this community. I will probably keep my Optimus One and I still might stick around for a few days(amazon super saver shipping takes 10 days to arrive)
I will make my purchase tommorow. If anyone has any alternatives this pricepoint please list
Requirements:
Armv7 processor(I ain't dealing with Openmax ever again)
If used then no cracked screen.
no locked bootloader
Only thing that sorted dissed me off from nexus one was the same touch screen issue that p500 is having.
Hardware issue..
P500 and Nexus one are both using a non-true multitouch ...

I want a HTC phone... because thats the only way I will get a fully featured sense port
I want to try sense 3.5
If i like it then i might not even move to JB or ICS
and I need unlocked phone. I use T-Mobile USA. it needs to support 1700 mhz too
nexus will last me longer until I save enough money for another phone(maybe nexus 5. it should be cheaper by the time i save enough money to buy it)
and $100 usd for a referbished is a good deal. I can gurantee that there aren't any screen cracks, button issues etc(anything can happen with used)

Miss my HTC One.

Hi, I bough the HTC one when it came one on T-Mobile, then after 4-5 days of use I decided to return. The reason was I had the Galaxy s3 before and thinking that the Galaxy s4 is much better watching online reviews. And I went and bought the international version of Galaxy s4 i9500 for $775 cash. Thinking its octocore and it has to be unbelievably fast. Now after using the GS4 I realized that HTC one is a much better and faster phone. Everything on the one is PREMIUM.
Now Im trying to get rid of the i9500 and get the HTC one back.
Just sayin dont trust any reviews on the youtube they are all bull****

The S4 is a great phone, but i like the htc one more. Try selling it on ebay , amazon or craigslist , and then go to tmobile and buy the Htc one

So we should trust you because you think One is better
Honestly I own both and they are good phones in their own way. For some One is better and for some sgs4 is better, why do we have to get into the my phone is better than yours debate?

I also have both phones. If I had to choose I would pick the HTC one. The s4 is a nice phone but the ui isn't as smooth from my experience.
If the ui on the s4 was just as smooth as the HTC one it would be hard to choose. The s4 has a lot of customization.

I will never buy a phone with non removal battery. Its stupidity. Here in europe you get 2 years for warranty and 6 months for battery. If you are unlucky after one year and battery is gone you have to pay to much for a replace battery or if you try to change it by yourself you loose warranty. Thats stupid in a phone of 700 or more euros. And so far i saw from comparison s4 is slightly better. Thats all because I say. Lol

That's normal friend phone it's been optimised. It takes one or two updates to take everything working. That happened with my s3 also. You get updates nearly daily from Samsung. And from htc your phone in 6 months will be forgotten by htc...

Why be so childish over a phone? If you don't like the HTC one then why are you on this forum? No need to bash other phones just because you "think" yours is better. I have the HTC one and I love it because it's for me, my girlfriend has the gs4 because she's used to touchwiz and I've played with it and it's also a great phone. Stop all the bashing and just enjoy your phone. It's all about personal preference.

Because Android and iOS have polar opposite philosophies. Android offers users choice; and choice leads to freedom, ultimately entitlement. iOS says my way or highway. Capitalism vs. Communism.

The price is a lot more incredible too. Problem with both is, the bootloader issue. They are working on a safety strap to work with or as a recovery. I think N3 is closer to that then the Mega. But he Mega is made to be more affordable. It has already been approved for 4.3 upgrade, 4.4 ?????? We'll have to see. Just 2 weeks ago att had it for $49 online.

buying the note 3 is like going out and buying an ip5s, your stuck with what the manufacture wants you to have
Samsung can suck a hole in a wall and leave android for all i care now days, they peaked with the note 2 and now are on the hill downwards with apple
with that said, 4.1.2 is the last stop for the i717, we are way over the 18 month period and were lucky to even get 4.1.2
the Knox security is a hell of a mess from Samsung for sure , but I still got hope that will not affect the development for this device. Maybe more time but not the end . all this mess for more money in theirs pockets ..

I'm stuck on which device I should opt to get. I've become accustomed to the freakingly large screen the note offers. Anything smaller and I might flip...The mega doesn't really interest me that much...I really have no idea what to get. I however might jump ship and get the N5. Its only 349/399

I upgraded to a Note 3 and its a huge improvement from the note 1 , the pen works really well and find I use it a lot more than I did before. Go to your carrier of choice and play with one before picking something you are unsure of. l rooted mine no problem (Im not a big fan of Roms because they always caused problems after 4.2.2 For me anyways ... something always broke.) My mission now is to find the best functioning kitkat rom as it was meant to be buiIt for aging phones that dont have the impressive specs of a newly released flagship device. l almost got a Xperia Z1 because of my tablet Z but didnt like the bezels top and bottom, (AND NO PEN). Awesome job on the pen I cant stress how much better it is?

I have an S4...but I want a note 1 as a back up. I had the Note 2 but I sold it for lots of loot. The S4 is brilliant but the locked bootloader has cramped the phone to the point of constipation as if you got a S4 on MF 4.2.2 firmware or MK 4.3 firmware the boot loader is super locked. They even killed the service menu. So Im selling my S4 for cash + the note 1 for temp use until I see what I want next. Samsung is the only phone company left with dual storage. LG has the Optimus G pro with 32GB and an SD card slot, but with the specs on that phone they will never see 4.2.2 on it.. And it's a beast of a phone...so I will take this Note 1 + $250 and call it a day until February

Do it. There is nothing better than getting a Nexus. I jumped to Nexus 4 from the Note about 10 months ago, and just upgraded to a Nexus 5. The developer support on a Nexus is amazing. I could have easily stuck with the Nexus 4 for another year, but the lack of LTE was bothering me a bit. A Nexus phone is pure gold. By the time the Note got to be the age that my Nexus 4 was at, I was tired of it. Don't give another dime to Samsung, who will spend it on rewriting perfectly good android code into buggy bloatware. Don't let the lack of sd card bother you. I have lived with 16 GB storage without any issue, and Nexus 5 comes in 32 GB too, for just $50 more.
