Hello,
My friend, please stay away from HDC, they are really nice looking clones but their hardware and quality is the worst!
I have the HDC s4 Legend, HDC s4 Spark, and the Note 3, they all are perfect and exact 1:1 replica clones visually, they even come with the samsung logo in and accept all samsung accesories which is a nice touch. BUT hear this:
They lie in ALL their product specs, i mean ALL.
First, i bought the HDC S4 and they promised a exynos processor, it was really a mtk6589 with the hardware hacked to show as an exynos. battery life lasted like 4 hours at most.
Then i bought the HDC s4 LEgend, very beautiful phone, lighter than the original, BUT they advertised it with WCDMA 850,1900 and 2100, and it only had 2100 so no 3G in North-South america, they also advertised it with 2gb ram and it only had 1gb. 16 gb rom and it only had 3gb, and 2600 mah battery and it only had 1,500mah. so i just bought another brick, and gave it to my son to play games.
With the note i bought it as a gift and had the same issue, bad battery etc, so i had to buy original batteries that fixed the battery issue, 3g worked this time, but screen was horrible,
Besides, after showing them evidence that their WCDMA bands were incorrect, they denied it, battery were incorrect, they denied it, CPU RAM , ETC they denied it all, never wanted to make warranty valid, so i lost a good 350 usd in brick phones.
Please save yourself from buying that crap, or buy it at your own risk if you really want a Galaxy clone, these phones (s6) have really poor specs, mtk6582 and 1gb ram (they advertise 2gb) with poor battery life, that's not even mid range by 2015 that's low range, so i really recomend buying other brands, from other reliable sellers, with a hell lot of better specs and hardware for just 20 usd difference in price range.
i Recomend, Elephone p7000, any other THL phone, those have an amazing quality, i just bought a Kingzone z1, and that phone is a beast.
so stay away from HDC and buy from honest sellers who advertise the REAL sspecs like, antelife.
Regards

Hey... thanks my friend. Very helpfull post.

[Q] GS2 or GS2 Skyrocket

Hello my fellow GS2 users,
so i just wanted to get peoples opinion on this...
i recently bought Samsung Galaxy S2 and in about a week or two into owning the device, i found out that att is releasing yet a newer version of this phone on Nov 6th now im in a dilemma on what to do...
since im still within the return period of the original S2, do you guys think i should try returning my current S2 and get the newer version or is it not worth going thru the hassle of doing all the returns??...i did buy a case from amazon which will need to be returned as well if i end up getting the newer version...
Any constructive input/suggestions are appreciated,
FI
I dont think this new one has an exynos processor. That an immediate no go for me.
With a 4.5" screen it's slightly larger than AT&T's regular Galaxy S II (the "Attain"). It's like the versions of the Galaxy S II released by Sprint and T-Mobile... but with LTE capabilities.
So it doesn't have a Exynos processor and even though I don't know exactly how different the Exynos is from it's replacement... I don't think it is that big of a deal. Again- no evidence to support that.
And I believe your Galaxy S II has a 1200 MHz Exynos processor while the Galaxy S II Skyrocket has a 1500 MHz non-Exynos...
Do you like it? if you do then it doesn't matter what we think it's all you
(even though i would never change my gs2 for anything right now =)
The Skyrocket has a 1.5GHz Dual Core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with 1024mb RAM.
vs the standard SGS II, Exynos processors have been proven and tested to be faster than any other smartphone processor (according to various websites and video reviews and whatnot).
The only real difference between the two phones is the larger screen (remember, the screen RESOLUTION is still the SAME as the SGSII, which means your currrent SGSII has a higher DPI), 1.5ghz snapdragon (SAID to be slower, but who knows), and slightly more ram (very slightly).
I personally dont think its worth an upgrade, but its your choice.

Want to buys tab 10.1, need some advice

Hi there I am looking to buy Samsung tab 10.1
now I see the price and got confused.
1: Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 32GB WiFi White - HD Screen Display, Adobe Flash Support, Honeycomb 3.1, Two Cameras, 1GHz Dual Core Processor.
Cost AU $549.95
2. Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P7510 32GB, Wi-Fi, 10.1in -Gray bluetooth Dual Core
Cost AU $722.10
now there is huge difference in price. the only different I see in both version is GT-P7510. I don't know what its mean. if its worth to pay that much money only for GT-P7510.
Please help me guys and suggest me.
thanks
help much appreciated.
They are both the same thing. Some retailers have more markup than others. Buy the cheapest one you can.
You can get them from Expansys for about $500 with shipping.
Take a survey of the prices in other stores and take the most affordable deal based on the specifications you have in mind.

What version should i buy?

Hi folks,
I'm thinking about buy a Galaxy S III, but here on Brazil they sell the quad-core version with 1GB RAM. I think that dual-core with 2GB RAM will make my device last for a long time (about updates, performance and such). What version (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon) should i buy? Please consider that i'll need to unlock it here on Brazil.
Thanks and sorry for english.

All carriers in the u.s only has the dual core 2gb ram. If data speed doesn't matter to you and I'm not sure about your carriers speed there, in my opinion I would rather get the quad core one

Your gonna need a gsm version, so Att or Tmobile. Either way you'll need to debloat it because of the carrier apps. I'd say your best bet to get it working on hspa 1900mhz would probably be Att, but the Tmo one may work on it in Brazil, I don't know?
Your best bet is the quad core international though, at least Imo!

I have both. There are little differences between the two phones. I'll try to cover them as best I can.
Processor - Performance seems to be a wash with the exception of the GPU, which is much faster in the Quad. So, Quad if you in tend to play games.
RAM - The extra gig of RAM does make a difference on the S4. I typically have around 1.6 gigs free and apps I have running in the background rarely get killed now. If you multitask a lot, you'll like the S4 more.
Camera app - Minor issue, but the shortcuts in the camera app don't currently stay. They reset almost every time you launch the camera. On the S4 version, they come pre-populated and never reset. This is actually kind of important to me.
Battery - Battery was better on my Quad, but that was because it was 3G only, I forced my LTE AT&T S4 to 3G and hit similar battery life. If you're not going to be on LTE, battery performance will be a wash.
Apps - International version has easy access to some apps (such as Samsung app hub) that the U.S. version doesn't. That being said, I was able to find the APK and install it. Also, the version you get may have bloatware, depending on the carrier. However, it can all be disabled.
Those are the primary differences I have noticed. If not for the camera shortcuts, I may very well prefer the Quad version myself. But the S4 version has been pretty good and I intend to stick with it. I'm not a heavy gamer and the S4 stays cooler under load.
Well,
Here in brazil the version is the international one (i9300) quad-core. I can buy it here directly from stores, but i was thinking about getting the 2GB RAM version to make the cellphone last as my primary phone for a long time (2 years or more), so to receive newest versions of android and run smoothy i think RAM is better than processor.
I dont play a lot on it, i'll use it to work, social networking, presentation, and photo/video taking on parties.

[Q] Need help buying a phone

I'm looking to replace my aging Desire Z or Mytouch4G Slide. Both phones would be great if it wasn't for the roms on them that lack speed and stability, especially with KitKat. I would like a cheap QWERTY phone that has good XDA community support and can be used on T-Mobile. I really really doubt I can find a good qwerty phone so I'll have to jump on the iphone copy cat phones. So far the best that I've found is the LG Optimus L90. Seems to have a community here and doesn't suck in specs.
If anyone has better suggestions please let me know. Oh yea, SD card slot is required. None of that cloud nonsense.
what's your budget
About $150 to $200 max. I saw your sig springning and that would be a great device for me, if it worked as a phone. There is the JXD S5800 which would be great if 3G worked for T-Mobile. There is the Much W1 which does work on T-Mobiles 3G but costs a butt load of money. As you can guess I used the physical keyboard mostly for gaming.
There's also the Much G2 but can't tell if the 3G works on T-Mobile. I found this SHARKK Phone on Amazon with good reviews and decent specs but nothing on XDA about that brand.

buying the N3 pro SE at this time

I have had a Note 3 SE for a while and the screen got internally damaged, since I was told there isn't replacement panel for sale I need a new phone, is it still a good buy to get a new one, since the normal version isn't available and IDK how much progress was done on making custom Roms compatible, this is usually a problem for me but I'm not sure if there's another option in the same price points and specs... and I game a lot so the difference between the 650 and the lesser variations is big
what do you guys think
Very good development, better gaming performance than rn4. Best for the bucks. Go for it again.
*Just bought my kenzo 2 weeks ago

If custom roms are important for you, then it's a good choice. But if you want the best specs for the money, then there's a discount from time to time on gearbest for Zuk Z2. It gets then to around 180usd.
Sent from Note 3, Xiaomi Redmi Note 3.
If you can wait a little, the Note 4 SE is already in pre-sale and will be available on the 8th of March.
It features a Snapdragon 625 (a little slower than Note 3 SE but better battery life) and LTE band 20.
You can find it on Honorbuy for 205 Euro, it will be shipped from the warehouse in Italy, so no additional taxes if you life in the EU.
i bought it recently... but it's perfect. of course the 4x is better in battery life but it's a young device, no roms etc.
but hey it does have 20/25% more battery life.....

625 has weaker GPU, which doesn't set well with me...
