Saw that they announced the LG G Flex. What they've always said is how's it's just a G2 with a curved display. However the first thing i noticed is a different UI that's very similar to all the Kit Kat leaks of white icons and what not. Since LG is close to Google for the N5 could they've already had a heads up and also shown a preview of possible kitkat update for us? im just speculating and hope its true. It'll make this phone so much better. and this is coming from someone that's still running stock without rooting and loving the phone. just a thought.

The official specs say 4.2.2, and i am sure changing colors of icons is not a huge task. They would want to make the Flex look a little different then G2 some place at software end too.
That said i am sure G2 will get 4.4 sooner then a lot of other phones.
F340L & Vs995 are the model numbers. Sources : G2's 4.2.2 Camera Firmware..
Read today the Flex is getting a miscosd slot. The one thing I wish was different on the G2.
Granted, not a big deal with a working usb-otg cable, but sadly we don't have that either

MicroSD would be killer for sure, but not sure what you mean about not having a working USB-OTG Cable...mine works just fine...I just had to push it in a little harder than regular USB charger...

you can use a usb stick on your g2 just get an adapter (mini male usb to female usb) only about an inch and a bit long and you can have a lot more storage available to you
use something like es file explorer to move and load files/when in file explorer tap the top of the screen to get to usb device

A new addition, started via Kickstarter, is Meenova. It has just recently been released. Take a look-see. It is pretty cool.
Not sure anyone is noticing that I said my usb-otg cable works fine, with the phone booted up. I am Strictly referring to being in Recovery mode. Under Mount, there is no other selection than Internal Memory.
When I had the htc one, you went into twrp (and I assume cwm) and there was a mount option for USB-OTG. This way I could backup or restore from external storage. Also comes in handy when saving your butt
Thanks anyway

Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus all have curved screens. What's the big deal? Those pics looks just like the rendered Galaxy Nexus images.
Regardless if it more curved, it isn't really anything special. Having a GNex, a curved screen isn't anything to write home about. No one even noticed it. I don't unless you really look at it.

If your okay with Apple's limitations and price point then the iPhone isn't a bad choice. What limitations you ask?
-Non-removable battery
-Non upgradable memory
-Proprietary charging cable (not a con if you already own some)
-Can't sideload apps without jailbreaking
-Device choice
-Custom launchers, keyboards, widgets, etc
Some people want something that just works, but others want something they can tinker with and personalize and don't mind dealing with issues. Sort of like the car enthusiast who buys the classic muscle car that might need some work compared to the average car driver who buys something new and reliable.
Also try checking this out.
I can't remember this list I came across at the moment but go to google and type in 20 things iPhone users can't do that android users can. If I find it tomorrow I'll post it.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda premium
For me, the advantage of Android in contrast to Apple is that the most - and quite - Apps in the Play Store are for free.
One - and the almost - point is that you can change the battery in Android phones and in the iPhones series not. Also if your iPhone would be long used the memory effect takes effect and you can throw it away because repairing is more expensive than a new modell.
In Android phones you can change the battery if you have feeling that the battery lifetime is low.

indeed! plus a 3.5" screen is just too small these days...
You will love iPhone iOS if :
1.You want something that is working for you and you willing to live with the same thing for quite a long time.
2.You won't bother if your neighbour's phone, your school teacher's phone, your auntie's phone, your baby sitter's (if you have kids ) phone are having ALL THE SAME design for hardware and software.
3.If you think that a phone can represent your status in the social.
4.If you are a boss (just kidding... it might be true sometimes, at somewhere...)
5.If you always worrying people find out what you did in last summer.
You will love Android phones if :
1.You easily get bored with what the stock is having and wish that you can do something about it.
2.You can't sleep well for few nights thinking why your neighbour's phone UI looks exactly the same as yours.
3.If you think that a smartphone must capable of doing more things and having more freedoms than iPhone.
4.If you want to take control over the phone instead of letting it control the way you live with it. (e.g : remove system apps that you don't want from your phone)
5.If you don't mind someone knows what you did in last summer.

This is the way I've started describing it:
iPhone = Automatic transmission car: All you have to do is hit the gas and it goes, you don't have as much control but you don't really realize it because of how nice it feels and how easy it is to drive.
Android = Manual transmission car: You have way more control and the potential to have more speed and power if you are a good driver. But it's not nearly as easy as an automatic and not everyone can handle it.

i own a WP7 right now xD so it´s comparable with that Automatic transmission car either - nearly not customization- but works and the user doesn't realize it. And im sick of WP7 because they don´t have as many apps as all other OS' got. The second thing i hate about it is the way how you have to unlock it... COMPLICATED :/ ( i bricked my WP7 :'D ) - The third thing i hate about WP7 are the high prices for apps... ( 2,99€ for Doodle Jump -.- )
Android: custom Roms ( Lite'ning Rom for example - but unfortunately non of my friends is using a custom Rom for Android -.- ), easy sideloading, cheap apps ( dunno about the quality of the apps - if someone could tell me how the quality is like i would thank that guy - )
iPhone: high Quality apps, nice design, MUST HAVE PHONE

Well the beauty of Android is you can pick the screen size anything from just over 3" to 5". Personally I don't want anything much over 4" and like a keyboard so the Droid 3 was my best choice. Phones shouldn't be one size fits all and manufacturers will build whatever size phones sell. Large screens has been an untapped market so 2012 is the year of large screens. But as long as there is demand for < 4" screens then they will still be produced.
So I came across this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAs3ZiPQl-U&feature=youtu.be&t=21m49s
It shows the sgs3 playing a video and running shadowgun at the same time seemingly flawlessly. I've always been pro-HTC, I went from the Touch Pro to the Evo and now I plan to get the EVO LTE. But despite my fanboyism, I have realized that HTC products usually don't perform as well as their samsung rivals in real world usage despite what the numbers and processors should theoretically be doing. I figured the Evo LTE and just about any high-end phone released in the past year can run everything on the market, who cares? Then I see something like this and it blows my mind. I'm almost tempted to jump ship.. but we'll see. What are your thoughts?

It's a new feature of the sgs3. It's a cool, novel feature I suppose. Maybe if you're playing a game and wanna watch a video of someone else doing it or something. But I'm more impressed with how well it did it all at once!

Agreed. At least for mobile phones... Could have some usage on tablets like taking a timed class and watching a video to pass the time.
The 24nm Krait S4 Snapdragon is a very capable chip. It should have no problems doing what you're video is doing or even running 2 HD movies simultaneously while running background tasks all simultaneously even on a screen as demanding as the new Evo's.
Samsung has done alot on the software side of things ..to me its more of a wow factor than something that I would ever use. If your in a store and stuck between two phones ..they show a gs3 doing pip and your sold ..not for me ..a cool but useless feature as well as the s talk or whatever it is ..I just don't imagine using it ..its a good phone tho ..you don't have to iuse those features ..to me the new evo is more desirable..and I believe the s4 is 28nm

You sir are correct, apologies for the typo. The Krait s4 snapdragons are indeed 28nm.
I have no doubt the EVO 4G LTE could do this, and probably the galaxy s2 as well. What I really don't know is why you would need or want to do this other than to showoff.

You could write notes, respond to a text, make an appointment, send an email, etc, without having to pause and back out of the video you are watching.
I think its far from pointless. People seem to assign the words "pointless" "useless" and "gimmick" to any feature that doesn't fit their personal lifestyle. Keep an open mind
Samsung says this is something new and groundbreaking that just came out with. BS!!! There is already an app in the Play Store that can do this on the phone in your hand right now. Check out app developers MBFG, I believe they may even be a XDA member. They have an app called OverSkreen that allows you to have a webpage on top of any other screen on your device. I use OverSkreen on my tablet and love it! They have another app that plays videos on top of any other screen just like the Galaxy S3, it's called Stick It! (and yes the "!" is part of the app's name, lol). Check it out. Funny Samsung lies saying how they created the idea an that the GS3 is the only phone that can do this, when in fact any Android phone with the app Stick It!! can do it!!!

The PIP function on the SG3 is not new. There is an app in the market called stick it, for $1.49 that does the same thing. I bought it a couple weeks ago, and it works very well, even though honestly, there isnt really any practical use for it. Many of the software tweaks that samsung is bui8ldin ginto the SG3 are impressive, but not original. You can duplicate just about every functionality they bragged about at the announcement with apps found in the market, or on custom roms readily available for most phones. Ultimately, because the US version will not have the quad core processor, and because i have always found samsung phones to feel cheap in my hand, im going with HTC, whose build quality is usually very good. Oh yeah, that and the pen tile screen on the SG3.... thats a deal breaker for me too

Theoretically, probably. In reality, probably not, if the EVO LTE has the multitasking issue that the ONE X has, which it probably will as HTC customized the multitasking to be so aggressive/ineffective. Really bummed about this. I hope all this is not the case. Show me wrong, HTC.

First of all, Hello guys... I'm creating a new thread to address my questions because they are too many, As you can see, I'm selling my current smartphone (Already sold Lol) and I will buy an Android phone, so my choices are between Galaxy S2, and Xperia S, I would love to buy the Xperia S rather than Samsungs Smartphone, but Im dealing with the "yellowish pixels" "screen issues" thingy before I Buy it. Could you guys recommend the better choice, I've heard that the problem was solved long time ago, and screen issues were present on first batches. Btw: I'm buying the phone through Amazon, anything I should be careful of?.
2nd Problem: Good case, I mean... Otterbox Commuter style.
Get the XPS, Samsung has the same yellow tint issues. Before buying make sure your device is w16 or newer, then you should be fine.

Thanks for the reply mate, Like I said i have no access whatsoever, related to buying an specific batch or something like that. (Here I mean buying buying products released on date xx/xx/xxxx or something really specific). I'm buying the device through Amazon... and well I guess despite the screen issue I might be going for the XS. The Galaxy I'm talking about is the 9100G, Is it really true that it comes with 1.08ghz clocked (cpu) and a PowerVR SGX 540... as far as I know, adreno beats up the SGX and the Mali.. I'm i wrong??
Any Suggestions about a really good case? (amazon)

The 220 is about the same in terms of raw power, but some say the SGX540 performs better in games. I don't see any difference myself, the UI is smooth, the browser is fast and I don't really care about games too much.

Yes benchmarks wise the Adreno 220 in the Xperia S is more powerful than Mali 400 in GS2 and Note and of course the SGX is slower than Mali.

Plays all my anime just fine in 720p. Sometimes lag happens in 1080p, but very rarely. Don't know about the cases, I keep the phone in my backpack.
Hello,
I'm using Xperia S despite other people i will not recommend it. It has so much problems and i did not like Sony custommer service and concern.
If i had a chance i would have bought Samsung Galaxy S3.
And one more thing, if you are making supernormal phone calls, ayou should compare SAR leveles.
Xperia S 1.31 w/kg and it is over normal levels..
I like the size of the SXS less, because using it with one hand is not easy , But well all these phones with these specs are big (also screen)
The closest thing to a otterbox case i have seen would be this one probably (2 layers):

Those tpc sides wrap nice and are really grippy.

I dont know why, but GSMArena has changed the SAR value (EU, head) from 1,30 to 0,78W/Kg!
So did the official SONY SAR value info here!!!
Hello . So I've wanted a smart device for a while, and It looks like the galaxy Player 4.0 will be able to fill that gap quite nicely, when I have enough money to get one in a couple of months. Anyway, what I was wondering is if you guys have any tips for me about buying, or just about using the player. I'm thinking about buying from amazon, along with an invisible shield for the screen and a case by Ringke. Also, I've set up a Google voice account to use with GrooveIP to get a sort of WiFi phone thing going on. I'll have to test it, but I think it will work. Suggestions / tips / warnings?
-Thanks!
P.S. I'm hoping by the time I get the player, team SuperNova will have a daily usable version of their ICS port (Right now it has no deep sleep, so low on battery life).
(After seeing custom themes, I've been making a mock up in GIMP, but I can't post the link as I have less than 10 posts)
Go on ebay and u can find lots of cheaper cases for sale around 3-7USD.

Like the poster above me, i thought the SGP 4.0 came with at least 2.3.5? Mine did. Also, can't you use the OTA update via settings=>About Deviice=>software update?

It depends of the device variant. His is an internationnal one so it came with 2.2.2 or 2.2.1. He needs to use odin or heimdall to update his player.
The groove ip app looks good. I haven't tried it because google voice isn't available in my country.

All I have to say is don't buy a Ringke case. I had mine for exactly 3 months, and on the upper left and right hand corners it ripped lol. I suggest getting a TPU gel case or HIGHLY recommend getting a Nillkin case seen here http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nillkin-Sof...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item3a79b544cb. They both cost about half the price of the Ringke case and are way better in terms of durability. All I have to say is make sure that the screen protector you choose fits. Mines I had to trim a bit off lol, but it is reusable (water install) so that is fine.
I can vouch that GrooveIP and Google Voice work very well on this device. I use it as a wifi phone all the time. At college it connects to the internet easily and calls are clear and loud. I can text using the Google Voice app too so it is all good. My only issue with this device is the limited ram. So if you have too many apps open be prepared to deal with some extreme lag. So I suggest having like 1-3 open at a time, and going to task manager and closing out the ones you are not using.
guys help i tried odin nd kies but it doesnt detect my sgs player even i installed usb driver.. whats the possible problem?

Don't get the 4.0
My advice get the 5.0 more deb support and a ton more real estate for games and movies, I know youll say it's only for music but you WILL use it for more, just do yourself a great favor and get the 5.0

My main concern about the 5.0 is the larger screen is the same resolution as the 4.0. Does the DPI/pixel resolution look good on it?

I can't exactly remember how it looked, but it wasn't really bad. If you're used to some of the newer Amoled displays on the high end Samsung devices, you might not think it's very good, but I do know that the 4.0 screen IMO looks great, I loved it. I own a Galaxy S2, and I honestly couldn't tell any real difference from just glancing at them.
Well, I guess I'll wait till I buy to decide whether to get the 4.0 or the 5.0. If hanthesolo's build is far enough along. (HW acceleration/Deep sleep)

the galaxy player 5.0 has the same resolution and stock build.prop dpi setting as the 4.0 but the 5.0 has a lower physical ppi.
I've got the 5.0, and you can see the pixels if you look for them, but it's not bad. If you plan on using the micro sd card slot a lot, the 5.0 has easier access I think (I Belle the 4.0 has to go through the battery panel). The screen size is great for sharing text and video, letting two or more people see it with ease. My wife has regularly preferred top read off my player than her Samsung Stratosphere.
As far as a case, I'm not sure you need one. I've had mine since February, and while it's taken some heavy falls, the worst it has to show is a little marring of the plastic where it hit the concrete and a hairline crack in that corner. (You really have to squint to see the crack).

Just piggybacking off what Obscuresword said. Google Voice is fantastic on the Galaxy Player. GrooveIP sounds better on my end than my cell phone, but I have heard some callers complain that I echo and no amount of playing with the settings has changed that. Also, he is spot on when mentioning the multi-tasking. For a device that no one really cares about it can do some pretty amazing stuff...but when it gets bogged down don't expect any amount of snappiness whatsoever. It was sold as a media player and has barebones hardware to match that description. This is no SGIII.
Knocks on the hardware aside the end result is this: I leave a dumb phone in my car(for emergencies) and take my 4.0 with me wherever I go.
I have a 5.0 and my dad has a 4.0 and here are the differences.
5.0 has more battery life than the 4.0 and usually lasts longer.
The sound chip on the 4.0 is much nicer than the one of the 5.0.
Both of them can do the same job, although I would suggest using LCD Resolution to make it look better.
You have two speakers on the 5.0 rather than the 4.0.
That aside, the main difference is the form factor which can turn some people off. My local best buy has the 4.2 and 5.0 on display so I would suggest going there to see how big they are. The 4.2 is like the 4.0 only with a newer Android OS 2.3.7?. That adds docking features and updates some of the Google Apps but nothing big.
I would suggest getting case and screen protector when you can get it. They help a lot. Also check out the roms and kernels and see what you like. That might persuade you one way or another. I wouldn't suggest the 3.5 as its screen resolution is bad but its very small.
Apps
Groove IP/Google Voice (You can make calls on your tablet)
HeyWire (txting app)
With these two you have mostly a phone, except it can't get on 3g networks and the like.
Titanium Backup Very useful since you can downgrade your apps, make backups of your apps and freeze system ones that you don't really use without uninstalling them.
PowerAMP Great music app that I use. I love it but try it before you buy it.
Hope this helps.

I know many have asked for a Nabi/Nabi2 section which I wish there was one for a Q&A section there but here it goes and hope it gets seen here........
While searching around the interwebz on the word "Nabi2" just to see what I would find I stumbled upon this little jem which I didn't know about and was also to come out late December and early January marketed for preteens.
Now since the specs are similar ( being the CPU's are more than likely the same ) I would assume it would be possible to just simply swap over Jelly Bean to our Nabi 2's correct? I wonder how easy to modify for GPS and a bigger internal flash memory would be on these as well since there is so much space inside. I like that the XD comes with NFC capabilities as well.

I would love to get my hands on the Nabi XD when it comes out, not for my kids, for me! I really hope someone works out how to root and flash. Imagine running cm10.1 on it!
If I would have known of this tablet I would have gotten this for me and uploaded a full backup for everyone to play with.

I don't know Enough about it . i can tinker with stuff but someone like jmz would be the one to ask ?
plus the the version that came on the xd doesn't have the smart 3d ui(looks kind of like SPB shell 3d). Facebook does not have any real info on it cept they say it was Released early by Wal-Mart but they have no Release date for it . so if there is not official date then how is it released early ? I noticed that 90% of my question got ignored .
for Haha's go over and read some of the posts . unreal
Dirty pool, Nabi!!!!
The micro USB is not. It's proprietary, so my plans to use a USB-Ethernet adapter are foiled for now.
Shape is same as micro USB, but it's bigger than mini USB.
I need to find my USB A-A adapter. Perhaps OTG is already implemented in the supplied USB cable.

I hate those proprietary cables, I would not have expected that from an Android device, most devices are universal now, either Micro USB or Mini USB. However, there will be generic ones made eventually, it wont be long before you find them for a few bucks on ebay, just like apple usb cables.
Apparently, these are not supposed to even be for sale, just a rumor, but it would explain why you cannot find accessories for it, even on their site.
