Hey all,
I wanted to compare the Nexus 6p and Nexus 5 in terms of performance, so I made a video about it for anyone that is interested.
I must say, the Nexus 5 really put up a good fight...

Was the Nexus 5 force encrypted? Otherwise it was doing much less work while loading. The Nexus 6P is factory encrypted but it is optional on the Nexus 5.

Nexus 5 was not force encrypted. Both devices were 100% stock with no settings changed.

I still have my Nexus 5, it was a fantastic phone; that is if we ignore it had poor battery life, camera quality . etc

I actually replaced the battery on my Nexus 5 and it really gave it a new life with respect to endurance. It is quite easy to do, so I would really recommend it.
Thanks but I already did, my daughter has my 5 now.

So I'm coming from a Samsung Infuse, and honestly, this phone cannot piss me off even more than I already am. I'm talking about constant resets (stuck power button), terrible GPS reception, UNBEARABLE LAG even with the latest paranoid android, and finally, messed up APN settings which bares the phone useless since I can't have any service on it! So now you understand of my struggles with my current phone. I'm in search for something that I can rely on and won't have even the slightest bit of lag after 2+ years of owning it.
Now, I've been doing some research on some phones (gs3, htc one x, htc one, gs4) And I come here to find out your honest opinion on the GS3 since the time you've owned it. Should I save some cash buying a GS3 or a One X, or are there some sort of problems with these phones that have ticked you off that I should consider paying the extra buck and looking at the 2013 flagships instead?
I would suggest the SIV over the SIII..

The S4 might will not have CM support in anytime soon...

OP, if I were you, I'd wait until the S4. Not because the S4 is a good phone, we don't really know. But because I'd like to know if the S3 sources are to be released. Otherwise, stay away from exynos.
You'll thank me later.

If you really want an S3, what about the I9305? 2G RAM! If you can afford a G4 go for that instead, if cash is tight perhaps a second hand G3. Should be a few out there soon cheap, when people have upgraded.

If you can get the S3 for a gooood price, get it and install SlimBean no lag at all stable as rock. Faster then a n4
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I'd recommended waiting for the S4. The S3 is a great phone but at least you'll be future-proof with the Galaxy S4 (in terms of updates, camera, display, and RAM). That's quite a lot of things!

Yeah it's a drawback, one I would find myself very hard to live with, but I would make compromises. I love that my S3 is capable of reading sdcards but I would easily give up that for something that runs lovely aosp as awesomely as the Nexus

I would be probably on Nexus 4 already if it supports USB OTG to mount external drives.
S3 have bad multitasking management, huge delay when you open dialer, mms and galery app.
I have spent lot of hours to fix these issues thanks to xda devs. It is a good phone (huge battery removable, good screen, ext sd card, powerfull) with a bad programmation.
I advise you a nexus one or a htc.

I knew the s3 software was bad, but it's worst than a nexus one
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
All i'm saying is to get a phone with 2Gb of ram. S4 or even the S3 with 4G is fine. The N4 is subject to different considerations (do you want an sdcard, etc) but it's a powerhouse too.
While the S3 nearly doesn't lag at all, not having multitask isn't fun and you'll definitly have a better experience if your apps aren't closing all the time due to lack of memory. This annoys me to no end and i'm replacing it whenever an oportunity arrises.

Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2
Owned a nexus 4. It is honestly the best choice. It has better specifications and better dev support. But isf you are a heavy user and you play games and diqnliad tons of music, go for tye s3 because ofbthe removable battery with extended battery capablities and the mirco sd slot
Sent from that one guy with the cool phone
I'd allways take a google phone first, but (IMO) the Nexus4 sucks, so I would choose the s3
Also, if you like the pure android interface, you can allways flash the CM 10.1
regards - Cartman
i would defently go for S3
nexus 4 is boring it is so bareboned with software
and also the on screen buttons take the space away
Samsung Galaxy S3 is amazing phone, you can always flash a custom ROM which will make your phone to work as fast as Nexus 4!
And yes, Touchwiz ROM is quite slow, for example to open contacts it's takes about 4-5 seconds, but if you will flash a custom ROM this problem will gone!
Anyone else?
Thanks for the replies guys

Not really. To have off screen buttons they'd have to have made the screen smaller. If the s3 went for on screen buttons, the screen could have been longer but it would have been as useless as not being an extended screen. Buttons on screen or off screen leave the same amount of screen left over only the latter is easier

yeah but nexus 4 left a lot of space down there so the screen feels smaller than s3's
True but we dont know what's under there

So what's your decision guys ? S3 or nexus 4?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2
I wouldn't chose the n4 over the s3. I like things many phones dont offer such as sdcard slot and removable battery. On paper the n4 is better but its less practical for me and dull looking. I wouldn't ever buy a 1 year old phone either....
So if I was in the market today id probably go insane and put up with what I had and see what next year brings

about S3 and N4, IMHO the main different is ram.. S3 1gb (800mb) Vs N4 2Gb (1,3gb CMIIW).
whether the difference in the amount of ram has a big influence on System android? especially for Jelly Bean OS 4.1.x - 4.2.x - 4.3.

Noooo. 4.4 debloated and running in art mode on this thing is ridiculous fast, and the extra free ram and fewer running processes make for much better multitasking.
I did love the stock rom, but a properly setup aosp rom will always be faster.

If you have much free ram on android something is wrong. Android is based on Linux and it runs faster with the ram as full as possible.

There is no point repeating this, mate. There will always be "smarter" people who will claim that free RAM is good as if our phones were running Windows 95.

Hey, think what you guys want. Haha
There's a reason they keep including more ram in phone's. But hey you guys know best right?
Hahahaha. K.
More free ram will always allow for more multitasking and a snappier opening of apps. If you geniuses want to run your phone's bogged down to ahead. More running processes also loads the cpu.
There's so much wrong in what you guys are saying it's not even funny.

That article was written 2 years ago and was incorrect when it was written. Do you understand that an article isn't definitive proof? You just linked me to the opinion of another because you're not intelligent enough to articulate the idea your self.

I would take Houstonn's PA 4.0 over CM. I use PA as my daily driver and I don't see any bugs. FYI, I use my G2 as a phone, meaning Emails, calls, sms, internet( for info search only), gps, lite YT and all of these work just fine for me.
Can't complain with mine....coming from L920.....very fast, running with Buckeye 2.1....mostly stock, just debloated.....LG G2 has come a long way from the LG G2x...I hated that phone mostly due to the poor battery life....and the crashes and reboots.....gave it to my son then passed on to his mom, the ex-wife, but surprisingly, she's still using it.

Not working on my N7 with the OTA. Give them a few months it only took years for them to bring it to phones and tablets that aren't Kindles.
It's working with official L (N7). I haven't watched more than a few minutes so don't know about the long haul. I flashed the images since I was rooted with custom recovery. I'm using the Amazon app ver. 5.1.0 with Amazon Instant Video app ver 1.0.

The Nexus 9 is deliberately blocked from streaming (due to being a tablet, Amazon is supposedly now enforcing this for new devices). It's not a question of missing updates to the app.

The best thing that you can pretty much do (that you probably should do anyways) is factory reset your device. Most bugs like this are due to a ton of apps or other things that are impacting your performance on your device.
