Hey ,
I've got my Galaxy s II for almost 2 years now and I am starting to think that i should replace it and i thought why not give WP8 a try
Can the guys who came from android tell me how was the move from android to WP8 ? will I be missing alot of apps ? i am using only whatsapp facebook instagram waze and news apps . thats it .
Please help me decide between the HTC 8X to another android phone
Bump
Another bump
I just upgraded to a Lumia 810 today from a mytouch 4g and I have to say I'm liking it better than android. As for the apps they aren't as good as android but they still have alot of good apps and its suppose to start getting alot more of the top apps on android.

Hi,
I own a Galaxy N 7000 purchased 3 years ago. I installed Jelly Bean with your help. The phone gives me satisfaction during one year,but in France where I live 3 month/year,I lost the signal few times, so I worked with a Xiaomi Redmi Note...
Now,I'm in Canada and want give the N7000 to my girlfriend because she owns a old Samsung Galaxy Fascinate.
But before give it to her, I think it is better to give the phone with the best 'features', so I need suggestion(s) to drive me to the best operation system ( ROM ect).
I'm not exactly a newbe but far, far away to a specialist . If you said to me where I must go to download the stock,I,ll try to install it for sure and I'm not afraid asking for help. I know the guys here helps kindly the mens who ask for advice in a civilised way...
:fingers-crossed:
Thank's a lot.
As we all know, Android Marshmallow will surely be on our great device, the Note 4. Leaked news say that Note 4 users will start receiving the update in February. Galaxy S6 and its brother Edge will be getting it on January, while the Note 5 and S6 Edge Plus will get it this December. According to these news, the new update will have a new TouchWiz. You can see that it is flat and more Material Design. As we all heard (or some of us), that Google is helping Samsung to create a new TouchWiz that will be so light and so materialistic, which as we can see in the link that it is really more beautiful and looks neater than the older versions. Now, will this new TouchWiz be on our Note 4? I believe it will. I know that the TouchWiz on the Note 5 isn't there for Note 4, but I believe Samsung did that to boost the sales of their Note 5 as it got a lot of bad reviews. Now that a lot of people have bought the Note 5, I think we will get this new TouchWiz along the update Android Marshmallow, or Samsung might even decide to keep their boost for the Note 5 and S7, and release the new TouchWiz for the Note 4 in Android 6.1 (maybe?).
What do you think?

I dont think so we will get the new theme engine.
we could get an improved touchwhiz.
but in 2016 i'll get a note 6.
used all notes from 2 to 4
but due to lack of expandable storage. I'll be skipping note 5. But thanks to rumours. I'm quite positive that it will make a comeback (fingers crossed)
The results are given here. There's nothing more to talk about. Look at how they ditched that poor note 3. I guess android 6.0 will be the last update for our note 4.

This isn't the last list, it will keep updating. Samsung is really good in making phones but they really suck at software... I am close to ditching it, but I got my Note 4 in September which is most likely for me switch to Nexus phones (or even iOS) in the next few years. Though, hopefully Samsung will enhance due to the next few years...

Hmmm your right, but what I ment to say was looking at note 3's disapproval for android 6.0, note 4 too may not get android 7.0 when it will be released in the future 1 or 2 years from now.

At that moment independent developers will come to the rescue (hopefully)

Hehe... yea bro! hopefully they would. But sammy has already heading towards 64 bit OS. The exynos note 4 supports 64 bit libs but our snapdragon phone doesn't.
64bit would help our device alot but it won't happen.. 6.1 should probably be our final build but im on cm so ima stay with the note 4

Hmmm... choice also matters bro. Those who love pure android experience and want latest android versions prefer CM. But as for me, having the latest android version doesn't matter much for me as I love the stock firmware coz there are so many extra options & features that I may not find it on CM. (Not to forget the s-pen features too). Also rooting & installing touchwiz based kernels & roms is like extra icing on the cake! ^_^
Is any news about marshmallow update? Are those release dates official?
hmmm i don't think that the note 4 will have the new touchwiz in near update but i think that it can be ported to our device buy our extremely talented devs.

Of course it won't, it's going to be the story of S3 and we'll also get it badly optimized, but things will be fixed and ported by someone here, as always.
Now we are with Android 5.1.1 BUT still with the old TouchWize UI except some few visual changes here or their !!!
Samsung policy is always like this .... the older generation get nothing new until the Note 4 is dead officially & removed from Samsung lists.
I sold my Note 4 few months back & I got iPhone 6s (such a cool smartphone), then I decide to buy another Note 4 because of the Stylus I really like to play with it, so I'm keeping mt Note 4 as second phone for my other sim.
accept it like it is, update stuff is not for Samsung or Note 4 enjoy like this way.
if you need fast updates get iPhone (I really recommend it) or Nexus phone, also HTC & LG providing faster updates.

Yes man, iPhone providing smooth & easy way for dealing with stuff, & old iPhones get the new OS even before releasing the new iPhone.
Apps quality are also better in iOS.
in short ...in spite of my short experience with Apple & iOS but believe me iPhone does provide user experience that I can't live without it.
and if Apple will one day provide iPhone with stylus, a Samsung Note like, so many people will leave Samsung for Apple.

Of topic?
This threat is for note 4 marshmallow update.
From wat i saw in both s5 and note 4 neither s5 nor note 4 will have the new touchwiz , u already mentioned the reason cuz both note 4 and note5 are too close in terms of hardware so as usual Samsung decided to go against it's habit and decided not to port the new touchwiZ to note 4 Just to make sure that note5 sales are doing well , and about 6.1 update for note 4 I doubt it will have it I think android 6.0 is going to the last update for note 4 same as note3 that didn't get android 5.1.1 and left with buggy android 5.0 unfortionatly This is Samsung THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT MONEY and ptl dont say That every manfacturer does because they don't do it in Samsung way, anyway I am waiting for the update and if leaks were true that it won't have The latest touchwiz as Samsung used to do with previous notes I will move to another brand mostly the next nexus.
So almost everyone here is a Android guy or using it for a long time.
Let's get back to past.
So when you heard the name Android
And when you got an Android device ?
Share your story to us and have some fun with memories.
My story :
I don't actually remember when I heard the name for the first time but as I can remember I was using a Symbian phone and in a website I saw the name Android in app categories. Maybe it's 2011.
And my 1st Android phone was Samsung Galaxy Y young . My last Samsung as well
Star Wars
guess my 1st Android came as a Work Package almost 10yrs ago.
-Edit
I need to research the Nokia Ngage? I believe it is. 1st Gen Gaming Phone.
Yes, we had a version of NCAA Football for this Prototype.
It only showed Landscape?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-Gage_(device)
At the same time that the Palm Pre came out.
2009ish
Whenever Google announced it I think. I remember thinking "Wow! Linux on my phone... supported by Google?? This is a dream come true."
Oh, how young and naive I was
As far as I remember, I first heard of Android with the release of the Samsung Galaxy S2, I myself started using Android in 2014.
A m8s of me went with meh to buy Nokia GSM
And when at store
m8s said that touchpad/touchscreen is 'NOW'
I wanted Nokia Asha GSM
So copped 'Smartphoni'
And when installed Parts of A ROM: AlienROM V5-V6
for my XPERIA E
I encountered ViPER4Android which did not work
because no r00t/busybox, and really wanted it because it felt interesting.
Now I have X Compact (Kugo)
I like SONY kind of phones, X-series
...
Anyways..
first time I heard about Android was when the woman from Vodafone tried to sell me my old HTC Magic back in 2009 together with a mobile data contract. I didn't think highly of mobilephones until then but Android really changed my view (especially because of the Linux internals)
2010(not sure of the month) when I got my first Android device, the HTC Hero.
The first time I watched a sci-fi movie as a kid, about 35 years ago. :good:
When my age was 14.

The first time I heard word Android was at school, the first Android device I biught, when I was a student.
Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy - A long time ago.
I hear about Android when Samsung launches Galaxy S2.
Radiohead
star trek in the late 90's
On my birth, may be.
It was like 2009, I used to be a "modder" on old Nokia (BB5, S40 and related) and Old Sony Ericsson (DB2020, Db3150) and when my last phone dead I started to see in many forums a lot of screen shots and post talking about android, so I became a Android lover
2010 I think, heard it with GPS technologic.
1976 in the movies. I was 9 years old.

Hello everyone, I was wondering what is the best (in terms of most current and most functioning) Note 7 Rom Port for our device? Right now i am using TWIZtd DeVELOPMENT N7 port as my daily but my Bank app does not work on it. the reason i ask, is because despite all my searching and reading it's 10-29-17. a lot of stuff is old. now is the time to ask for opinions and see if any of you have a good note 7 port up your sleeves i can use.
