[Q] New phone - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I can pick a new phone shortly and i was wondering or you guys have any good picks and/ or experience with the phone brands i'm currently looking at. I'm currently looking at the Samsung Galaxy S6, the HTC ONE M9 and the LG GFlex2. They all seem equal specwise but pricewise it matters quite a lot. Do you guys have any idea why to buy or why not to buy one of these?
Please let me know

if i was you i would pick LG GFLEX2 mostly because of the awesome LG UI, the autoheal back cover and the amazing curved display but other than that you could also consider the NEXUS 6 for obvious reasons

[Q] Nexus One, thoughts?

Hey guys, I am currently on the HD7 and am looking to trade for a Nexus One or even a Nexus S (any band I guess). I am just here to see what your thoughts are on the device. Honest opinion, I dont really have money to put in on the side, do you think I could do better than the Nexus One? I have a guy that will 1v1 a Galaxy S 4G as well. Is the Galaxy S4G better than the Nexus One?
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Get the galaxy a,. Better cpu and gpu + google still supports it

If you're looking to unlock and root the N1 (if it hasn't been done already) then it won't matter if Google supports it or not. You may be able to get ICS through future ROMs. The SGS 4G's better gpu really only matters if you want better graphics...and the cpu isn't that much different. If I could do it again...even with the phones out there now, I'd get another N1. I've had mine since early last year and I've had zero problems with it up until it got dropped into a cup of beer. So, it's built very well and it runs as good as the day I bought it.
I really like the design of the Nexus One. Its gonna be a tough choice.

[Question] What phone should I change to?

The title says it all, what phone should I change to?
Can change in March as my plan allows me to change every one year. No idea what phone to change to. Budget is of course lower than the S II.
Look for any phone offered that is confirmed to have ics support, that has a decent cpu clock speed.
The xperia line is getting cheaper in singapore.
Maybe an lg optimus 2x its far less money, but not a million miles from the s2. Large screen, dual core and official miui.us and cm7 support. There going for nearly half the cost of an s2, so you should get it free. Not a bad looker ether.

or at twitter at @JusadaTheLost
Perhaps a Galaxy R might fit your bill
Herpderp Adreno + Tegra.
LG Optimus 2x maybe??I love that phone and is planning on buying it..
Otherwise,you could go for Galaxy W,but its not dual core
If it were me i would stay with samsung, theyve seemed much more reliable and value for money than other brands ive tried (huawei u8220 + u8110) however those phones are pretty old now, so the newer budget phones from huawei may be pretty good
What about SE Xperia Neo V??
It'll get ICS too ??
depends upon your minimum requirements too...also if u can wait a bit more sony will be launching some good phones shortly in different price ranges
How about getting a sexy nexus s and getting everyone around you jealous?

Hey guys, I saw that on CES that SE is gonna release the Xperia S. I like the looks of it too, bet it will be expensive. I'm going to need to compare prices like a boss.

[Q] Which phone next ?

The samsung galaxy Si9000 was amazing ! Sold it sadly and miss the phone . Well the reason i sold it was someone offered me way more then i brought it for
So i decided to get a new phone to be a rebound, something better... to get me over the sadness of this phone lol
Was thinking about Sll ? what do you guys think ?
Thanks for reading and much help will be appreciated
Get nexus 4 it rocks
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
I think if you want better performance than s1 you should buy htc one x, or sgs3. Nexus 4 is very good think too .
It depends on your budget. Galaxy S II plus is coming soon, that might be a nice upgrade compared to the S plus. But the S III is a very nice phone too, but very expensive...
If you like a big ROM and developer community with the latest android versions, take the nexus 4. Depending on your budget you could think also about a note 2.
Sent from my Nexus 7
When I saw i9100 I wanted to have it, but it was too expensive and I bought i9000. Very good phone but recently I bought S2 and I'm also satisfied. I still have a fondness for S.
Buy something better, e.g S3, if you can afford.

I love a big rom with a crazy dev commun, thats the reason ive become a andriod fanboy
Nexus 4 is best with its 2gb of ram
SII, SIII, N4, Xiaomi MI2. All great choices. I think I'll go for MI2 soon since others are too big IMO

Advice: which phone to buy (inc non HTC)

Hi,
I am looking forward to buying a new phone (Android). For my currently owned HTC IncS, I am quite satisfied the way custom ROM have turned up. Well, that would remain one of the major criteria for my new phone as well.
Currently I have Samsung Galaxy SIII in mind but I also need advice on which phones are likely to be 'alive' in terms of development around new Android releases, etc.
Note: I searched for other similar topics but none touch on this area
I'm waiting for the butterfly. Expected launch in India is this month.....
Dead cookies leave no trails...
Htc m7 is going to be quite good
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda app-developers app
IT depends on what you are interested, screen, nfc, lte...
IDK if samsung has already published the new lte versione of s3 with 2gb ram...
Samsung's end phone has s-amoled display, you'll have to adapt yourself because the difference in colour is huge from out phone ( in worse or better it's personal)
Personally I would like to buy the nexus 4 (best quality/price, but soo much difficult to obtain). time by time I've appreciated android aosp over sense ...
M7 should be a great choose but it's too soon to talk about it...

Well the note 2 is a great device as long as size isn't an issue...

If you could wait for HTC M7, it's gonna be new flagship phone of HTC. But if you want to buy a phone right now, I suggest Samsung Note 2. One of my friends has that one and it is wonderful. Smooth, fast and graphically outstanding phone.
Just tried out the Nexus 4 yesterday... Holy sh*t!! What an awesome piece of joy!
M7 will probably rock also I'm not sure about Sense 5 though....
SG S IV is coming – with the new ROMs keeping us going for a bit longer on Inc S, this might also be a contender for potential upgraders.
I would consider another thing when buying a new phone: HOW u get s-off'ed or rooted...
I would prefer to root using a bug and "not" voiding warranty, rather than ask asus or htc to unlock my phone and say goodbye to warranty...
I was using Incredible S too until last month when I finally got the Nexus 4. For this price, nothing much can beat Nexus 4 at this moment. The only complain I have is I wish the screen can be bigger......
I played with the HTC Butterfly last week in Taiwan during a business trip. Wasn't very impressed......
I would think in terms of development, SGIII would be a safe choice, although I think Nexus phones are the best in terms of the amount of active and future development since they are the first to get OS updates. The only thing that stops me from getting one is the lack of a removable battery and Microsd storage, which are things I don't want to go without. If those things are important to you, I'd probably go for the SGIII. Just my 2 cents anyway
Xperia Z especially if you are up to serious customisation since Sony is being very very kind to devs now.

I'm waiting for the HTC M7
but I have been eye-ing off the Nexus 4,
Thanks for so many suggestions.. really appreciate..
so the final list (so far) I can see is Xperia Z, SGIII/IV, NoteII..
From my past experiences, Sony's phones are terrible!

Nexus 4 all the way if you can manage to get it for 300$ anyhow !! Nothing really beats this phone in any aspect at this price tag !! If I have unlimited data plan + Dropbox acc then it's ok for the lack of storage. So basically no cons at all
And about the all glass design get some cover and you will be ok.
Nexus 4 = amazing display + amazing camera + amazing hardware + updates + amazing design + premium feel (not cheap plastic s**t ) and a lot of ram ... and many more
What can you hope for more in a smartphone??

The way the phones are built for example - I don't like the look of the phones or the way the buttons are set out.
The software and overlay I also don't like.
There's more than just this ^ however when I test the flagship models of Samsung, HTC, Sony and LG, I just don't get the same feel from the Sony and LG as the HTC and Samsung.
But like I said, I just haven't had good experiences with sonys. Saying this though, i haven't used the new Sony phones so they may have stepped up!

thanks a lot.. my friend has recently purchased a SONY phone which included Bravia engine and it was smooth like anything..
even the screen look and feel was amazing..

Shopping for Exhibit Replacement

Well my wife and I got a call from T-Mobile about their new warranty plan and I think I would like to upgrade my phone.. i'm torn because I do like the exhibit (ONLY BECAUSE OF ALL THE HARD WORK FROM THE DEVELOPERS ON THIS SITE) and so i'm hesitant to let it go.. but I would like something that has a faster processor.. bigger screen.. and some built in new features..
I shopped around a little bit.. but you all here know so much about these phones.. I wanted your opinions.. what is the best phone sold by T-Mobile and why?
I originally thought i'd get the Galaxy S4... but I know a lot of guys here decide to get the Nexus 4.. I saw that the Nexus is a pure google experience verses the S4 has a Skinned version.. I did see this morning that there is an S4 "google play edition".. but not sure if T-Mobile sells it..
I also saw the HTC One and Xperia on the shelf.. Can you all please let me know your thoughts?
Thank you!

Its all personal reference no T-Mobile doesn't sell the Google edition s4. I think why ppl like the nexus its a Google phone it will always be the first to receive stock updates. Plus your get the pure android experience and doesn't cost a arm and a leg plus your first born Lol. But if you want all the bells and whistles go with the s4.
Does anyone know if any new phones will be out soon?

It's only my opinion, and you are free to dismiss it at your leisure, but a replaceable sd card and battery are very important. This Exhibit is just about perfect for my needs, and the size is perfect. My wife liked it so much, she bought one (tho she's still on the stock T-Mobile flavor of GB).
Keep up the good work, guys! I hope to use this phone for many years.
