Welcome guys!
I jumped the wagon from a long chain of Samsungs, and I have not looked back even for a second.
The only thing that was missing, was Multiwindow, and now that's ported from the G Flex, and working great!
Camera has been treated with mods by great devs, and also works awesome.
I'm gonna get mine in few days. Can't wait

Everyones still around. Most just only choose to chime in when its useful rather than bs about things.
It was released today for beta users and kickstarter donees. Has anyone used it yet or reviewed it? Looks really cool.

I have tried it but it is very laggy because it is beta yes!

Used it for a while this evening. Definitely has some potential. In present state, it's a little laggy and lacking in widgets. Great concept though. Should be very nice in the near future.

I should have my i-957 in the next few days and will report on how it works on it. I was a bit upset that they didn't release the beta for phone devices, but what can you do?
I'm quite excited to be a part of the community soon! Picking one up to use as my main communications device since i don't use more than 5 or 10 minutes a month. Hook this bad boy up to a bt headset and I'll be golden!

Im actually connecing through a SIP service and phone out through GVoice. I spent a fair bit of time figuring out which route to go with it.
I have my tablet now, but won't be tinkering with it until tonight.
I'll be setting up the chameleon launcher this evening.
Is it working fine on P7300 ICS ?
I had the silver a couple of weeks ago than traded it in for the gs4 which was just horrible. Today my new HTC one arrived in black. Now I'm faced with a decision. Yesterday the GS4 had an it's update which made the phone work as it should finally, but I love the One. We all know the background on which phone can do what and why one might be better than the other. But now that the galaxy works well and the lag is gone I'm having a real tough time deciding on which to keep. The note feels amazing in the hand and is true quality with a great keyboard but the screen size on the gs4 is so much better when surfing. Help me decide guys. I will post this on the gs4 forum as well.

I second this. So many people say they got it, but no one posts pictures!!! Take a pic of the back so we can see the ATT logo
In my opinion i prefer the HTC one. I had 2 galaxy s4 returned due to overheating and battery drain like crazy. I was waiting for s4 but now so disappointed. I have returned for Htc one seem the best phone so far. Hope this will help you decide.

Wow you got the black one! and this warranted a new thread? Instead of posting in the Stealth Black thread?
Didn't realize there was a thread on that. This is more of a help medecide thread though. If you asked me yesterday I would keep the ONe without a doubt. However now that the ota has cured the lag on the gs4 it's a real toss up.

I ordered it on 4/23 from att and it shipped on Monday of this week. I actually cancelled it when I found out I would have to wait for it and ordered the silver which was later exchanged for the gs4 then on Monday I got an email that it was being shipped. The cancelation never went through. Worked out well though. Now I get to play with both the gs4 and HTC before making the decision on which to keep.

Check the "stealth black availability" thread. There are pictures there too. Some are ordering from Wal-Mart and having it overnighted.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I have to admit that there is just a certain level of sexy added to the stealth black one. I however really have no issues with my silver one. I think I will just keep it. Congrats, for me I think the one is a better phone than the GS4, I don't know that I could ever live without boom sound. It's just that good IMO.
The speakers are a bid decision factor for me as well.
Thanks

I originally bought this phone because I couldn't afford an N4 when I thought I was going to be able to, but I've been pleasantly surprised with it so far.
Really, the only things I don't like about it are:
1. Heat.
2. Lack of IR Blaster
3. Lack of RGB LED
4. Lack of support (though Im not really worried about that with it sharing so many components with the N4)

I don't really notice any heat problems but I don't play a lot of games either. IR blaster would definitely be cool. As for THE LED, is it just an AT&T thing or do they have any phones that have multi color LED's? It seems like all the other carriers have multi color LED's in the same handset I already own. The other SGS2's did, the other LGOG variants, etc. Support...we have some nice ROM's, to be sure, and the guys we have are doing a great job, it just would be nice if there were some more. I'm probably going to be on this phone at least up to or through Nov.

Building isn't hard. You can customize any source to make the ROM you want. It takes time to figure out, but its worth it. Give it a try.

+1, certainly agree on that with you but m really bored with the LG UI though , would like to see how WP UI functions though! people tend to certainly neglect the power of OG , in India a new OG cost around 400$ but just coz its LG no one prefers and resale value , dont ask about it it goes for almost 220-270$ for a 1-4 month old OG !!

I wldnt give up my og for any of the phones that are out now, but i may jump ship for the og 2 and the moto x and the note 3 lol og 2 seems to be sick though

I play a lot of games on mine.
I work nights doing tech support/cs-type stuff at a call center, and have lots of downtime, so I end up playing on my phone a lot either way.
It happens to handle gaming wonderfully, aside from the heat. However, after extends gaming, like say, an hour of Vice City or Majoras Mask on Mupen64, it can sometimes get so hot that it becomes legitimately difficult to hold. A couple times i even had it overheat from playing a game while charging. I've also had it crash from overheating while doing navigation on a car charger.
Interesting point about the notification light, I hadn't considered that. At&t does tend to **** on their phones designs pretty heavily so I wouldn't be surprised.
That being said, it still has better battery and is overall more reliable than my old Inspire.
I intend to at least try building, but my computer isn't a suitable build environment right now, needs another HDD and some more ram.
I'm hopping on the OG Pro train, soon. Although, I'll still have my OG as a backup and will continue flashing on a semi regular basis lol.

Hey guys, can anyone comment or give me there honest opinion which way I should go. I am on my 6th Nexus 5 replacement (RMA) and I'm getting tired of it. Have not been able to enjoy my device BUT have now been offered a refund. I have been looking at other options is live to get the Moto X but this is only available at a extremely high premium that I cannot justify to pay in Australia. My next best option is the LG G2. Can I get some honest feedback please, is it a worthy upgrade from the Nexus 5 or should I look at other options. I've heard that the G2 hasn't got the best UI, will this change with the upgrade to KitKat 4.4?
Any opinions would be helpful in making my decision.
Thanks in advance!

I had both and kept the G2. No comparison hardware wise. Screen is much better, reception is far better, build quality is better, design is better, camera is better, speaker is better, and headphone out quality is a ton better,. The stock rom is really good for stock, and CM11 absolutely takes care of any desire to go back to the Nexus. Just my 2 cents though.

I can't believe how butthurt people get over a simple discussion comparing Android devices. I used to find it strange that you couldn't make a thread comparing phones, but now I kinda get it.
Keep N5 if you absolutely want an active xda community and if you want an AOSP experience
Go for G2 if you want better battery, camera and sound
It's currently on 4.2.2, 4.4 on its way. Entirely possible to theme it to not look like a Serbian diskotek, but unfortunately the AOSP ports are pretty bad. Everything works but the camera and audio drivers are substandard and the kernel isn't optimized for this device.

Nah that's just an opinion. Nexus colours are more true to real life.
Oh yeah and the battery is obsviously better on the G2 but who cares because the N5 has Franco kernel.
Bottom line it all comes down to personal preference and price.

Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
I have the G2 mainly because the N5 isn't on Verizon and my work provides me the phone. The G2 is the closest thing to the N5 I could get. The only thing I worry about is long term support by the community for future roms and what not. Right now the G2 has root, custom recoveries and a nice selection of custom roms but how long will dev support last going forward.

Ive found that the 4.4.2 camera update equals if not bests the G2. (I have both, but keeping my Nexus 5 due to the fact that there are no clean, simple CIQ free ROM developers anymore)
