Contract Upgrade Time - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys
It's time for an upgrade on my contract and wondered if you could give opinions on the Sony Xperia SP and if it's worth upgrading to over the note? It seems to have better specs but haven't seen many reviews.
Thanks
Jamie

Well i dont think xperia SP will be satisfactory for you, after having a note for such a long time. I wouod say to givw it a trial first, then decide to get it. Yes u have other options like htc one, s4 and if ur in a hurry note 2. If u can wait then moto X or maybe note 3.

Samsung or LG?

Recently I had some problems with my rooted SGA, it restarts constantly because of the RAM I think, it heated constantly without having the charger plugged every 10 minutes, its slow with every game and some apps.
Yesterday a friend told me that his LG Optimus One didn't heated anytime, it was very fast, and it never rebooted itself and he didn't had any problem with it,
What smartphone brand is better?
Samsung or LG
Or if you think another one is better than this two ones, tell me your reasons please, because im thinking seriously about changing my smartphone (Android) and phone company... (México Telcel, its very expensive...)

Yah I agree with him ^^^
GO get SONY ! Great Support ..
If you still want Samsung, then go get their High-End Devices coz if not, you'll get a crappy support (like everyone's experiencing right now) .. they are known for that anyway ..
About LG, never tried it yet ..
For me it's either HTC or Sony.
My preference is Samsung. LG has the worst and ugliest interface I have ever seen but touchwiz is better!
And LG copies Samsung in many aspects. It does not have good software also.
Samsung.
If you have
-random restarts you need to change rom, haha
-slow ace, uninstall crap apps
Keep youre device clean and only with few apps if u want it for games.

Well from my experience, used all of them i guess
1. Samsung--- only go for high end phones. for lower end phones, support sucks. Though service centers are great and that way support is good.
2.LG--- Same as samsung. Update wise sucks but service wise sucks too
3.HTC-- Great UI. But customer support sucks
4.Sony-- Great UI. Good hardware. Best on updates. Service support good. ****
Okay, thanks for all your opinions, it seems i will change to sony but what model do you recomend to me? a good phone but not expensive like an ace's price?

The Xperia Ray is pretty good, 1 Ghz Qualcomm, 100 g, around the same price, all the above mentioned things about sony phones, better battery life, unreal pixel density compared to our ace and an 8 MP camera to top it off. In Singapore, unlocked it's about $50-80 more expensive than the ace so it's about $350++ Singapore dollars, about $300 USD estimated. It's pretty darn good for it's price.
Try to go for the latest nxt series by sony. I hope xperia sola will fit in price range or xperia P

For your preferred range device, I would recommend the Sony Xperia Sola!

Buyer needs advice

Hi guys, I think there is quite an unbelievable offer for Austria Hutchinson users. Basically you get this phone for 69€ on a 20€ x 24 months contract. With the contract you get also 1000 minutes 1000 SMS and Internet unlimited so should be fine. Before I saw that I thought of sticking to my galaxy s for a while.
Now that said I would love to take it as long as the offer lasts, but I am concerned about 3 things:
a) i am a custom Rom user since 2 years. Never been on stock again. And I looooooove cyanogenmod! Do you think there will be custom roms for this?
b) the camera quality. While I'm not too much concerned about the video quality, I use my phone as a compact camera outside to take pictures. So how bad is it in your opinion? And do you think will it improve with upcoming updates?
c) you know something about the possibility of unlocking this phone?
I guess probably I'm asking too much but maybe someone knows better.
Thanks in advance!

I would think so. It just got rooted and CM10 develoeprs are already playing with it asfaik.

It's only an okay camera, there's better, the Galaxy 3 has a better one for instance, not by that much, but clearly. No idea if this is a hardware limitation, but I'd guess so.

No idea ... but I guess with root you should be able to do more or less anything,e specially, once CWM etc are there? But I'm no pro.
We have root and CWM now, devs are working on CM10 and 4.0.4 Sense 4.1, so soon we'll have great ROMs :laugh:
And i think we'll have unlocked bootloader soon too.
Hey guys,
This phone looks really cool. I was thinking of buying this phone. I want a phone that can get rooted and a lot of ROMs. Do u think Im in the right place?
I have read a lot of reviews and from what I can gather is that this phone is a tad better than the One X and a loses the battle just barely vs the GS3.
What do you guys think? What are the pros and cons of this phone?
Also which is better looking? The white or black model?
Thanks in advance guys!

You shall like the white one. Also, your favorite food is grilled chicken, and you'll only drink root beer. Also, move to Mumbai, which is your favorite city from now on. Any other totally personal decisions you can't make I'm happy to answer, too.
Hey thanks dude!
I was asking because I've never owned anything but Motorola Androids and they have locked bootloaders. Ive never seen this phone in person and the reviews online only show the white one, so I asked here for this awesome community's opinion...
Also I like grilled chicken but prefer steak. Hate root beer, and if I lived anywhere it would be 'MERICA. Ill be sure to visit Mumbai sometime though maybe we can have a beer together.

Is LG policy still suck and unreliable? Since the older models like O2X said to not get ICS!
Yesterday I saw it in the market ,and it has the same price as HOX , I saw some comparison which end by no winner, yet the HOX really has a good support by both the company & xda community ,so from a fear comparison aspect ,which yr choice in case of : screen,camera quality and shutter speed ,video quality(some said its better in the OneX even with has low fps compared to O4X! ), and battery, thx ahead

This is not an answering machine...
Personally, I chose the LG because it has exchangable battery and micro SD slot. They both have Tegra 3 and good displays, so it's no big difference hardware-wise. HTC has a large fanbase, so you'll have more custom roms on the HOX, plus the possibility to unlock your bootloader with HTCdev. LG might learn and do something similar, but as they're not open in saying what they do, no one can tell.
I was checking on eBay yesterday cuz I want a LG O4X and saw there was a developer version kinda like the Razr has one too... can anyone confirm this?

Go for it if in good condition like other said and in your place it's easy to find Motorola Service Center.
'cause in my place it's rare a Motorola Service Center to found than Samsung Service Center
Thanks for all your responses but i will be keeping my ace, now my friend wants my ace plus 150$ dollars which i find unnaceptable.Summer is almost here anyway, and i will probably get a galaxy note

[Q]New phone

Hey guys,
Next thursday I'll get a new phone.
I can choose between several devices:
- Huawei Ascend P6
- Huawei Ascend Y300
- Xperia M
- Xperia E
- Lumia 520
- Lumia 920
- Galaxy S2 Plus
Anyways, it's for sure that I'm gonna leave you guys. But don't worry I'll still be keeping my S Advance as development phone.
Now: my question is: which of the above phones has high battery life ( with lot of internet using ) and a nice CPU.
I know for sure that I'm not going for the Sammy phone ( even though it will get 4.4 ). And I'm sure about the Huawei thingy. It looks and feels good, but I never encountered the brand before.
Xperia M&E are outdated. And about Lumia phones: Microsoft, nuff said...
Please help me with my choice.
Thanks in advance,

AVOID S2 PLUS! My friend has it, and he had too much sleeps of death. It just freez, after that you need to reboot or to pull out battery.

I don't want Sammy anymore. Promising updates they can't give, LagWiz and on top of that they only support their flagship phones. The design is ugly ( that curved design makes me feel like it's a womens phone ).

Looks like a economic Z.. Same TFT screen without HD resolution, same SoC (1 Ghz M and 1,5 Ghz Z), less RAM (1 Gb M and 2 Gb Z).. So is like Z, almost same hardware but less powerfull..

WP is a bit like marmite, you either hate it or love it, I personally enjoy it, but I don't like the Lumia's minimalist theme. Flicking through apps and settings is clean and quick, and you suffer a few less FCs than android. Who says the two can't go hand in hand? Just like Windows and Linux?
