£100 budget help with a good phone - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all.
Sorry first if I have put this in the wrong thread but wasn't sure where to ask for help.
Well I currently a nexus 4 owner coming from iPhone 4. I always been a android man just gave iPhone ago.
My wife lost her iPhone 5 so she wants take my beloved nexus. Now I would say no you carnt have it but everybody knows its not that easy.
I have a £100 budget maybe scrape a tiny bit more like £120. But no more then that really.
I would like to get a phone with similar fire power to the nexus and with great dev support for custom roms.
I've seen a few Chinese branded phones with quad core cpus but not sure which one will have great support for on here.
Any advise and where I can buy from will be much appreciated.
Thank you.

THL W100 aspects are good, but it needs $ 159.99, If you're interested, I recommend you go to this site to see: http://www.thlmobilestore.com/

I agree with your point of view, but this phone is not much.

Huawei Ascend G300 would be a good choise for this money.

In China, Huawei cell phone quality is very good.

£ 100 to buy a good phone with some difficulty.

For a cheap phone, I think the Huawei G300 is pretty nice. You've got a team of developers working on Cyanogenmod for it, as well. It's the best price / performance phone in your budget range. However, it doesn't seem really that compareable to the Nexus 4 (which is great), but there's not much else you can do with your budget!

I have not used THL W100, it is difficult to evaluate.

It's actually good phone :good:

[Q] suggestions buying a new phone

I would recommend the Samsung Galaxy S4 or the Sony Xperia ZR with the edge going to the Galaxy S4 (The Qualcomm SoC version has a wide variety of development activity). The problem with phones like the Nokia Lumia 920 is while it is a good phone, Windows Phone 8 lacks many of the features Android does such as app selection, customization, lack of good notification support, and good universal search. Overall Android would be the way to go for features it has in my opinion.

I wouldn't go with the ****sung since they almost release a new phone every milisecond and after they got newer models they won't update the S4 anymore(yes, im thinking forward since I had a Samsung Galaxy for years.)
I would personally go with the xperia ZR since I don't like WP.
But why not the Nexus 4 or wait for the Moto X?

Since you mentioned that only the Octa core Exynos variant of the Samsung Galaxy S4 is available in your country I would go with the Sony Xperia ZR. I'm not sure about the availability of the Nexus 4 in India but I would agree that it's worth looking into.

True, well then I think ZR is the best choice, atleast thats what I would choose.

I have the S4 and Love it.
I would definitely suggest the Samsung Galaxy S 4. I just got mine a few weeks ago and LOVE it. Samsungs a great manufacture of Android phones and have VERY few known issues.
AND SAMSUNG IS ONE OF THE BEST MANUFACTURES AT KEEPING THEIR PHONES SOFTWARE UP TO DATE.
The original Captivate was around FOREVER… FOR-EV-ER.
Nokia and Xperia phones are OK, but they lack a few minor things that the S4 has. Things that the average user doesn’t run into unless they try to move files or want to reset their unit etc.
I definitely recommend the S4. You will LOVE it!
Don’t forget to check your headset jack and LDI (liquid damage indicator) no matter what phone you choose. Don’t want to run into problems after your buyers remorse runs out.
Good luck goldsmit409, don’t forget to come back and let us know what you decided to pick.

if any xperia zr user is reading this thread can any one tell me if games can be moved to sd without rooting??
I found this method http://m.instructables.com/id/How-to-install-apps-onto-your-SD-Card-No-Root/
not sure if it will work but if anyone can help me out it will be a lot easier as I don't want to run into low memory problem coz I like to play games a lot

Hey there!
does this HDC phone really have 18 MP? I think it's only a interpolated camera. Anyway I don't think those HDC phones do have a good quality.
If your looking for a china phone ranking, check chinese-android-phones.com/china-phone-ranking/
Seems to me like those china-phones are of a good quality. I bought the Cubot ONE and it's a great phone with quad-core CPU, 13 MP camera and for less than 170$.

This list is an embarrassment. All these phones are rip-offs of phones from HTC, Samsung, Apple and LG. Why don't you try promoting some phone companies from China that doesn't cater to the stereotype view of the Chinese people (that the Chinese just copy and make fake versions of everything)? Phones from Xiaomi and Oppo for example are also quite cheap, have original designs and have genuinely good quality. In fact, the Xiaomi Mi3 is FAR more powerful than the JiaYu G5 for roughly the same price.
THL T100S is best smartphone, China's first eight-core mobile phone, will be officially sold in the January 10, I've been on thlmobilestore com site to buy one.

Actually, the Jiayu G5 retails for around $299 whereas the Mi3 is around $330. Of course, depending on where you get them from, the price difference will be different but the Mi3 is definitely not DOUBLE the price of a Jiayu G5.

Cinese Jiayu G5S
I own a Jiayu G5 advanced 2 GB RAM and 32 GB ROM , metal case , in black .
It looks pretty much as an Iphone 5 but not really it is bigger.
Beside the GPS function , a lower volume speaker , a weaker vibration function and the flashlight wich u better
use only as a torch , pitty for the 13 MP rear camera ( I am not sure if its not software enhanced , it doesent look as a 13 MP lens )
I can say this device is aswome. Does not have full support on duals SIM but works great with redirection and CallWaiting between SIMs.
As far as I know Jiayu has a little factory who didn't copy but just build their own brand.
The G5 is very fine also from design..

Thanks for the Kingo suggestion.
Unfortunately I'm not having luck with it. After hours waited to download drivers* (their server is slow) it keeps blocked and stuck on "fetching scripts". Since it seems a common problem I tried it severl times, last time I even left it for almost an hour. With no results.
I've got Windows 8, and I used DSEO to disable driver signature checking. (someone says that won't work on Windows 8)
Any help will be truly appreciated.
Bye
*For next users, if you won't loose time as I did, download HTC drivers from KINGO website (they are the driver needed by Kingo for our GT72).
I solved in 5 SECONDS with 'Framaroot', directly on the phone, without any f****g complication with FRAMAROOT. Imho, best ever.:good:

Have anyone noticed that the screen is hard to read from different angles?!
For ex:
In the car holder, i can't see from about 45degrees... Not related with weather.
When i am looking from different degrees, even at home i only can see "true colors" if i look "in front"
Anyone else?
Solutions?
yep

Though this isnt a branded phone, its not also a very rubbish phone. Today I've tried to flash a custom rom. Before this I have used a custom rom of Galaxy S4. I have rooted my phone and flash the rom through CWM.
"The problem is I can not start my phone now. Even I can not go to recovery mode either."
Please Help me some one...
BAD ROM!!!!

It can be rooted. and I'd like share the STOCK ROM for all here.

That's the reason you should only flash ROMs for your specific phone model and not from other models. This one is specific for the Cubot GT72 (I have a Cubot GT72+ and I'm not flashing this one).
Ask the people who sold you the phone to see if they can contact the manufacturer for the correct ROM for yours.

Guys, do you have a ROM to this model?

mate 2 replacement ($49 black friday ascend xt)

Still going for 49.00 on Walmart online and in stores!!!
Regular 149.99(cheapest I've seen it is 85 on eBay)
I just got the bootloader unlocked on it(using huawei american site)
Specs
616 octo core snapdragon processor
2gb of ram
3000mah battery
6.0 720 HD screen
6.0.1 running emui 4.1
8mp camera with flash
2mp front

I wonder if this phone can be rooted or if there will be any ROM development for it. Wondering if it has a cousin model that shares ROMs, cases, etc.
How do you like it so far?

Seems good, has a lot of att bloatware, haven't really used it since I'm still waiting on unlock code. So wants I get that I'll be able to use it more. Also uses the same processor as the honor 5x(same specs besides the 6inch screen, and fingerprint scanner)
For 49 bucks its a steal.
