Gs6 touchwiz - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5

It's a no brained that all slightly older Samsung will get hs6 touch wiz right ?
My wife didn't want the gs6 and got the gs5
I got the gs6 the other day and it's a world of difference from the gs5 in terms of tw.

It's possible if the devs..decide to make a mod like that or if Samsung pushes something debloated stock.
There are some mods already to feel like your using a s6.
The only thing that won't ever be the same is the camera.The s6 cam is bit more clearer and defined .
And the camera app has cool features maybe it's 5.0.2 .

[Q] What to get?

I am ready for an upgrade on Verizon and can't quite make up my mind on what I want. I'm coming from a Motorola Droid 4 and debating between Galaxy S3, Galaxy Nexus, wating for Galaxy Note 2, or waiting for the next Nexus.
I know the Nexus is old news but I love my Nexus 7 and still want something that will have plenty of developer support. On the other hand the screen is a little on the small side and the lack of SD card might be a dealbreaker.
I could always wait for the next Nexus but who knows when that could be and if the LG rumors are true I may not be interested (not a fan).
The Galaxy note sounds great because it's big but is it too big? The extra screen room would always be welcome but I'm not sure if maybe this is too much.
Finally the S3 seems like a great phone and although I'm not a big fan of touchwiz I'm sure using a launcher or a custom rom will be enough to make up for this. I like that the screen isn't a measly 4 inches but at the same time it does feel weird in my hand, it's thin, maybe too thin.
Feel free to suggest any other phones I may be missing out on but they have to have NFC, at LEAST 4.0 in. screen (preferably upwards of 4.5), and if it won't get/doesn't have jellybean plenty of dev support so I can port it onto the device myself.
So... what phone should I get?
Galaxy S3 is good. but i am a htc fan, so it is all about how you use your phone.
Gs3 will have JB soon get that.

I just don't think I can do Sense. It's the only skin I dislike more than Touch Wiz. But if the phone was good enough I would consider living with it I suppose.

[Q] Galaxy Sx to HTC One

Anyone here with a HTC one who previously owned a Samsung Galaxy phone?
I've been thinking about the HTC One and would like to know your thoughts.
Moved to proper section, please read and respect the rules before posting.
Thanks,
It's much faster but the buttons are in the stupidest places possible.

I moved from the HTC Aria to the Samsung Captivate, S2, and S3. I love the HTC One. There are little things like zoom that I don't like, but overall I'm pleased.
To be honest, I probably would have went to the S4, but the physical home button on the S3 turned me away.
They are both great phones and you should be happy either way you go.

I had a galaxy s2 and and galaxy note 1. I loved them both and they did their job nicely.... But.... I just never like the build quality, plastic just doesn't do it for me. I found myself going back to my old HTC inspire all the time just because I like the feel of the aluminium. I caught back and forth between the s4 and the one. I choose the one for a few reasons: the body is awesome, the screen is insane, feels amazing in your hand. I hate buttons, I lactually like the HTC setup of home and back only. The s4 cool features I realized I would never use, only to show off with haha. And most of all for me, the camera on the one in low light is freaking amazing!! I live were there's no sun, so this is a big deal for me. Hope this helps, and go ahead and ask any questions or concerns, I am well experienced in both phones.

Lol I believe everyone had to go through the tough decision between the HTC One and the S4. I sure did...I stayed at BestBuy for about an Hour before I walked out with the One. The phone is incredibly smooth out of the box, very snappy and the screen is beautiful (accurate). The battery is good but it is no Note 2. I guess HTC kept a 2300mAh battery to keep the phone thin. You won't feel any creeks when you hold or squeeze the device unlike the S4. No doubts at all. I also came from the Old Galaxy Note and now, I'm missing the large display. I don't like how the Note 3 looks so I'm waiting for the HTC One Max!

Thank you all! Im glad you shared your thoughts.
The One is the best aesthetically IMHO. Tired of the plastic galaxy phones. Just wasnt sure about battery and GUI.

Our recoveries are all fine. The only issue is if you update your hboot you might have trouble with s-off. But right now there are ways around it. All is good over here and we can use all the international roms as well.

I had the One a couple months ago for a while, have an S4 now. If the two phones could procreate and make one phone with the best features from both, it would be the best. Loved the audio and metal frame of the One, but no removable battery and no MicroSD. I think the S4 runs a lot more smoothly, and has more flexibility with the SD, but rear speaker makes sound quallity ridiculous. Also my biggest complaint right now with Samsung is the MF3 update that locked down the bootloader (aka no custom ROMs). HTC gives you instructions on their website to unlock the bootloader (unless something has changed since I had my One). Albeit I'm still preferring the S4.

I'm not sure how you figure the s4 is smoother. It's definitely got lag and it's choppy. The one does not lag and it's not choppy. I've had both and the one is far better in transitions and feel.
You are right about not having removable battery or sd card. I do miss those from my galaxy devices. That and the button placement are my only complaints with the one.

The One feels much smoother than the S4. Not saying the S4 is slow...but it doesn't feel as snappy as the One. Maybe because all those touchwiz features are memory hoggers.

I found the OS sluggish on the One. I do have to specify I never had the stock rom though. When I got the phone it had been rooted and flashed, although I had installed a rom that was supposedly "stock" with just upgraded kernel. Maybe I didn't get the same experience as you because of that.
Also I forgot to mention the lack of a home button. Ridiculous. I tried the logo2home mod but that's still IMO a major design flaw of the One.

[Q] End of Galaxy user? Should i get Nexus 4?

I had iPhone 3G as my first phone, following by 4s then i switched to Galaxy s3 in April 2013. I've learned a lot, i've flashed many custom roms, kernel etc.
After seeing Samsung delaying updates and transporting regional lock along with kitkat update are the reason that i come to decision that i will sell my galaxy s3 for Nexus 4 (cant afford n5 yet).
I need your help guys
How good is the battery on nexus 4 compared to galaxy s3?

This is a q&a thread, so it also belongs there. But to answer your question. Comparing stock of both devices, the s3 definitely wins. Samsung is good at creating a good battery life, even with touchwiz

S3 wins hands down. Tho I would recommend getting sony because don't delay the update
I disagree.
Bells and whistles like smart stay that doesn't even work properly after the jellybean update or a maybe slightly better camera (though I don't find much difference) doesn't outweight not having proper multitask. Also, neither touchwiz nor aosp have the nexus smoothness. Even my dad's former galaxy nexus feels slightly better than my s3.
If you can live with not having an sdcard or a removable battery, I'd say the n4 provides a better user experience (did try it for about a month). The only reason I'm not getting the n4 is because I'm waiting out the n5.

This thread would be best off in the Nexus 4 section, most users who browse the S3 forums still have and use the S3.

This is a joke, right? S3 is in overall better then the nexus 4. S3 will get 4.4. Regional lock can be removed. Also SD-Card and removable battery is essential for a phone in my opinion. (Plus, the N4 is an Lg device ) So if you don't plan to go from S3 to N5, stick to the S3!
well i am curious how long samaung/other custom devs will continue support galaxy s3 in 2014
cuz S4 still havent recieved 4.3 and 4.4 is already rolling out for Sony flagship device soon, which means this is my last samsung device >.<
And isn't mali 400mp old tho?
i will buy N5 in April then
thanks for the replies

Duuuuude....4.4 has not even rolled out to Nexus devices. Hell, it hasn't even been announced. No way can it roll out for Sony devices any time soon.
Sorry i worded that incorrectly but i hope you see my point; Im disappointed with samsung updates. I should have went for n3 in the first place, i'd have saved £40 anyways.
How the hell are you disappointed with Samsung updates?!?! They are right behind Google when it comes to updates. LG and HTC suck at updates.

Are we[T-Mobile S5] going to be getting the 4.4.4 kit Kat update or lollipop 5.0????

Well looks like AT&T S5 just received the update to 4.4.4 kit Kat. ? I hope t mobile doesn't fall in suit with what AT&T did.
Just seems odd that AT&T would push the 4.4.4 update right before they where supposedly to get 5.0 lollipop. Odds are now they won't get 5.0 till way later in the year. I could be wrong but two updates right on top one another don't seem the norm .

That was my thoughts too.

I haven't seen A lot of feed back from the Verizon variant of this device. But from the little I have seen it's not running well on them either. Well we might just be stuck with kitkat for a bit longer I guess. I'm still looking to jump to another device I'll make my final decision when I go into pay my bill in a couple weeks. I'm still not able to get lte working properly on mine anyways.

Best Feature to buy Samsung Galaxy Note 7

What is the best selling point that you feel very convincing for you to buy?
Let us discuss here... Poll your best reasons.
Even as a long time Note User (Note3-Note5) I liked the s7 Edge's design enough to lose my s pen to switch over to it. Now that the Note7 is here, I'm ready to jump back into the S Pen....
To answer your question the "glance" feature (yes I know its just software and available on note5 with custom rom) but that is just so incredible. I can't wait to use that for multitasking.
Also, the iris scanner combined with password entry and hiding apps just because you aren't the one looking at the phone is pretty tight!
Thats an easy one.
Ext sd card support.
Thats the main reason im ditching my note 5 and going note 7.

I would agree that if you have an S7 edge and dont need the Spen not much point in buying one.
But for those who dont have an S7 edge and are in the market for a new device (like myself) the fact that the note is a copy is quite irrelevant.
Perhaps you didnt consider that?

Perhaps you didn't consider the $400 price difference. If that spen is worth $400 extra then I hope you really use it 24/7. I personally use it the first weeks only then I rarely use it. It is good to have there but for me bigger battery was a must.

$400 doesnt mean much to me honestly,not trying to sound like an ass but its just not a big deal on my end.
Im not a fan of the edge screen at all and if they had not toned it down on the note 7 i would not be buying one so thats the main reason Id go note over S7 edge.
I dont use the Spen alot either lol...bigger battery would have been nice for sure but as it is its 500 mah more than my note 5 so for me its a bonus.

I am trying to look at the bigger picture here and consider any customer in the market but if I like the device $400 is not a problem for me either. These manufacturers have broken our balls with such small upgrades and even after so many years we still don't have a perfect device. They hold back on hardware upgrades on purpose just so that users can have another reason next year to buy the new flagship. It is annoying. I still am convinced that the S7 Edge is Samsung's best phone this year. Performance wise and battery wise.

It is huge upgrade if compared to the Note 5. Not sure if $900 worth it though

Yes it is, but I usually buy device after it becomes kind of old, after 6 month, so price reduces around 30%..
I used note 2 for almost 3 years, and i never felt to buy another phone, because it was fast with custom rom, I was able to play any game, I upgraded to note 5 just for the sake of camera.
So maybe I will buy note 7 after few months.

If you need a waterproofed Note, you're using it wrong. Going from a Note 4 to the 7. The 5 wasn't for me. The addition of the SD did it for me and believe it or not the gif creator.
