[Q] Google nexus s or htc dezire hd - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

He guys i want to buy an android.....m stucked between two phones google nexus s & htc dezire hd...please help me out in choosing the perfect one

if you want on time and cutting edge software updates then go for the Nexus S,

Nexus S! But you're not going to get much different opinion in a Nexus S forum!
Desire HD's not a bad phone at all; it really just depends on what network you want to use. If you get the Nexus S, you're stuck on T-Mobile in the US (if you want 3G data speeds). That's an issue for some folks.
P.S. - the Nexus S screen blows away the Desire HD, imho.

Nah, I'll pass on that thick brick with the 3D gimmicks I will never use. For one, looking at that display in 3D gives you a headache within 10 minutes. Fore two, that camera is UGLAY!

Yea, and this phone is no where in the same league as the sensation. The sensation just looks so beautiful compared to this piece of slab. Right now, no HTC phone looks as good as the sensation, in my opinion.

is that the GSM version? USA or EUROPE release?

What phone should I buy?

Hello... I have this website to choose a phone:
http://www.clarochile.cl/equipos?order=2
I dont think I could buy a Motorola ATRIX or an iPhone 4S xDDD... but I would like to receive some suggestions about mid-range phones. Something about Galaxy Ace or something.
I don't like very rounded phones... but if its worth it, i don't mind. I want it to be configurable, like to 'play' with it... install ROMS and stuff. Speed, etc... things that anyone like. I know it can't be a speed monster cuz of the price, but, try to say the best option among these, please.
Thanks and sorry for my english if its wrong xd.
LG Optimus 2X P990
I've heard this is a good one, $ 329,900
or maybe Samsung i9100 Galaxy S II
Nothing rounded, maybe Xperia Arc? Maybe the best mid range phone, with a sexy design and lot of development.
Sent from my U20i using xda premium
Well, with no rounded I meant EXTREMELY ROUNDED xDDD... I like this kind of phone:

You want to install custom roms so choose a phone that gets a lot of attention from devs.
Check out this site and the types of phones that have a lot of devs working on custom roms .That would be your best bet.

[TOOL] AT&T VS. Pre-Paid Calculator

I posted this on the Nexus 4 Forums and figured I would also share it here:

This tool is for those of us that are currently under an AT&T contract and thinking of purchasing the Nexus 4. Since this phone comes shipped unlocked and without a contract, we might as well consider switching carriers to maximize our savings. I put together this Excel spreadsheet to do the math automatically and figured I would share:

In my case I would break even in about 6 months after paying the ETF and then save around $70 / month. My savings per year is equal to about the cost of 3 nexus 4's..

As a bonus here is a comparison of the HOX VS N4

I is depressing that you are considering switching over to the Nexus from the hox. The nexus will not even have LTE. I know it gets Jellybean but even if you loose root you will be able to get it back sooner or later anyways.
Cool tool.

Assuming no 3D phone is announced/shown at MWC...

What does everyone plan on getting for their next phone?
I'll probably get a Nexus 4 or to spite LG for never updating the O3D and giving up on it, I might hold out and go Galaxy Note 3.

Note2 1jaar contract waiting for note 3 all for the pen or better
Maybye 3D+pen
Apparently, LG will not be introducing any new 3D phone this year, so it's safe to say that we'll never see that official ICS ROM...
I will not buy LG phones for years to come, unless they're Nexus phones. I'll stick with BlackBerry 10 phones and downgrade my O3D to Gingerbread so that I can take 3D pictures. If 3D cameras get cheaper, I might get one .
My contract is allmost over now,but im not gonna biy anything special. Im gonna take probably ZTE Blade 3,just so i could have a spare phone. And then in august or september im gonna get the nexus 4 through the Pocket Change reward system.

Note 5, remove "Sprint" boot screens, perhaps with Package Disabler Pro?

I bought a new-old Note-5 (it's 2018 as of writing) which was locked to Sprint. (I use AT&T in USA.)
Since of course Sprint won't unlock being a-holes, I used one of the excellent online services where you pay $30 and a dude logs in to your phone and unlocks it for you (I think it was unlockallcellular.com ) - all good so far. Works perfect with AT&T or any sim.
However my lovely Note 5 has the lame Sprint boot screens.
I have heard that Package Disabler Pro can get rid of this for you?
In short which items then should I disable, or ?? I have fear, help1

search on "sprint" ..
BTW sorry for the lame question. I'm an iOS engineer, but I only use Samsung/Android phones as my personal actual phone.
I hung on to my Note 3 for years, I notice the brand new Notes have no physical button! So I was pleased to get a new unused (but apparently Sprint locked) Note 5 !
Please help your Droid newb friend!
