Hi, I don't want be rude and talking badly to the Samsung Galaxy but a new device with Android OS that has only a 3.2Camera and no- Flash seems bit absurd don't you think? The name has nothing to do with the real world...a galaxy or a star usually is very bright...with this phone you cannot even make photo or video in the night time...mmmm....not a galaxy whatsoever................
All I can say is: Stay with HTC models!
But the procesor and the chipset is a lot better then the crappy qualcomm. If only HTC start to use different processors.
Qualcom chip
Are you sure about that? I have an Htc Diamond 2, a Sony Xperia X1, and Htc Hero, they are perfect ! before that a Samsung D900...it was fine...nice phone but I could not do it the things I do with Htc or Sony.
u cannot compare phones with different OS, and I dont know what chip was used in D900. I am talking about Snapdragon(Qualcomm) vs. Hummingbird(Samsung).

have you seen the galaxy videos? it takes like 5+ secs to actually getting in to the gallery after pressing it. it seems kinda slow to me. unless that's because of the software being beta or something, that's slow to me.
@ qualcomm vs hummingbird: qualcomm will come out soom enough with dualcores.

1. seen that, especially the "Lady" that was clicking on icons like she was mad and launching few programs at the same time, but who knows.
and after qualcomm will come with dualcore, samsung will come with better dualcore.
I think there were some benchmarks comparisons, will try to find them.

Hello,
i was actually wondering if anybody knows how to Mod correctly a galaxy.
I have a galaxy from the middle east which does not come with marketplace. the I7500JVIL2. I have flashed it using ODIN to another rom I7500xiik, however many options stopped working like sdcard, camera, etc... i flashed it to 1.6, camera started working but sdcard still doesn't.
So, I was wondering if there is any way to get this fixed. I need sdcard so that I flash using recovery mod. I'm trying to flash it back to the original build I7500JVIL2, hoping this will make everything work again.
Do you think this is a good solution? Are there suggestions you can make on another build to use that has marketplace and everything working on the phone.
Sorry if I posted in the wrong place. I couldn't find anything regarding galaxy on XDA and I love this forum. I habe been able to succesfully mod my g1 through this forum.
Thanks,
VENI VIDI VICI

For me the only thing to like about the galaxy is it's name
I just realized that you are talking about the galaxy(i7500) and not about galaxy s(i9000).
BTW galaxys, you should sue samsung for using your nick.
Personally I wouldn't touch a Samsung with a bargepole, I have owned a few Samsung phones, where the phones tend to be okay they do not support them at all with firmware updates, they have a remarkable release rate of phones and rather than supporting the current ones they just release a new one!
Galaxy name
Yeah your right only the name is cool....I don't know why people don't pay attention to the market...We have around in Uk at list 10 top of the range mobiles, starting with HTC HD2, Htc Desire, Htc Legend, Nexus One, Diamond 2, Motorola Milestone, Nokia n900, Omnia2 and so on....Why buying the Galaxy?. I will give you another example: Which would you buy between Htc Desire and Sony Xperia X10???...Of course the Desire!!! they have the same price but Desire is on another planet: Android 2.1, Multitouch, better Keyboard, better interface...Maybe..the only thing Xperia X10 has better then Desire is the Camera that's all...Xperia X10 is basically a 2009 device sorry arrived to late!
hi, i am searching for a hackable android dual core phone... by hackable: i mean the most supported by the community .. running latest android version (think it's 4.2.2 atm) with no issues and kind of future proof (more chance of getting latest rom version) ... i am mainly serching for an htc hd2 dual core version... other requirements are microsd slot, bluetooth, usb otg and if possible hdmi out/video out. If i can find it cheap as second hand on ebay .. i will still be interested ... will mainly use it for experimental stuff, development, and as a downloader.(to reduce my electricity bill as my pc is 24/24 online downloading stuff)
im looking at ZTE Nubia Z5S (NX503A) got some nice specs for 400$ price tag.
5.0 inches, Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 Quad-core 2.3 GHz Krait 400, 2GB ram, 16GB, 13MP camera, andriod 4.2.2 etc..
i have never used android phone before so im hoping u guys can help me. i did some googling and didnt find any roms or any other modifications usually go with a andriod device.
i would like to know if this is a worth buying since this phone only available in china.

Is this phone sold in country, or are you going to import it from china? Because if not, I would not recommend you a chinese phone. If it is defective you'll have a hard time returning it (if you can at all) etc.
Btw, if you come from iPhone, I strongly recommend you Google-listed devices (assume you live in the US, it would be HTC One, Nexus 5, SGS4) that come with the stock Android UI. They are updated as soon Google pushes out updates, which is closer what you experience on the iPhone.
Since chinese phones except for Huawei ones are rarely supported in XDA (they lack documentation, source etc) I would not recommend you a chinese phone if you want to try out new ROMs.
If you are ready to take the risks there you go. But as a first time Android user, no way I would go with that phone.
My recommendation for you is the Nexus 5. Hope this helps.
i have to import from china. im a symbian user im sorry i forgot to mentioned where i live. im from sri lanka and no play store available. no way to get a nexus 5. even if somehow managed get my hands on a nexus 5 it would costs me around 550-600$.

If it has to be a chinese phone then I suggest you the Xiaomi Mi3. Great User Interface (MIUI), great update support and best hardware for little money. Xiaomi is also highley popular, it is being regarded like Apple in china.
Go straight for Nubia, it has the best specs out there and far away the best price. I just order it btw.

Good question, in deed I just got a Nubia z5s 3 weeks ago.
(I used to be a Moto supporter, but got disappointed by Moto's sales policy - however, CDMA users can hardly have so many choices as others. forget HTC, bad quality.)
Somebody mentioned Xiaomi, I don't think it's a good option. Nubia's hardware spec is almost the same as Xiaomi, but Xiaomi's shipment and sales policy will drive you crazy. You have to attend to a luck draw first, then could have a chance to buy one!
Regarding the experience, herein I only talk about my experience.
1. BATTERY:
From 7am to 10pm, medium use, about 75% is consumed.
2. DISPLAY:
Much better than MOTO X :laugh: , 1080p. Also, the color is not so cold as Samsung.
3. VOICE&MESSAGE:
Fairly clear, however the location of Mic is just under USB port. sometimes your finger could swipe it when picking up.
As CM user, very delighted to see vibrate setup in "settings", SMS also designed with popup
4. CAMERA
I didn't test too much. However, the respond speed is satisfying.
5. SOFTWARE
a. I have to acknowledge that the UI design is lower than my expectation, especially the icons. Styles in default apps and system UI are not actually unique. But most Androider will change the launcher at soonest, am I right? (ps. I really hate Samsung's UI and the screen density!)
b. Furthermore, the system compatibility...there's no surprise, also no fetal bugs.
c. Seemed Nubia team learnt a lot from CM team. They just released source CODE on their website.
d. It can be ROOTED easily.
e. Some local team has ported CWM RECOVERY on it. Nice job!
f. It's said MIUI by local team is on the way. Also, some guy is working on its AOSP now.
6. AUDIO
Sorry but I never play songs via cell phone. Somebody has idea?
7. DESIGNING
I spent almost one week to get familiar with the weight - it's too light
8. NETWORK
GSM/TD/CDMA, not sure if it can be used in Verizon network?
In conclusion, it didn't disappoint me. I'd be delighted to see more improvements or 3rd party's works on ROMs in near future.
Guys, is this phone suitable for the dutch network and.if flashed with multi language you can use dutch language?

And do you have Play Store installed?
im still waiting for my phone to arrive, but i have seen CWM and Rooting on official Nubia forums. everything is in Chinese. if someone can translate and post here.
Google play works just install gapps 4.2.2 ( you need google framework )
For the Chinese forums use google translate thats how it works 4 me !
The kingnubia rom is recommended it got it all in 1 rom !

Hi Everyone,
I just bought a phone from everbuying.com - 5.5 inch N8000 Android 4.2 3G Phablet MTK6582 Quad Core 1.3GHz 1GB 4GB QHD Screen 13.0MP Camera Gesture Sensing GPS
I need to know if anyone has a suggestion of what I should use to ROOT this phone, I have never bought a phone from overseas (I'm in Canada), and I have always rooted my phones (so I can use firewall and tracking programs and benefit from all the other features from having a rooted phone)
I don't plan on flashing a new ROM or doing anything like that with this phone (yet) - I just want to root it. I am not having any luck finding a program or much info on rooting this phone.
Any help would be much appreciated. I should be getting this phone in the mail in a week or two.
Thanks! Rebecca

Please let us know if this method works. I've looked at a few phones/tablets on ever buying and wondered if they were worth the aggrevation of ordering a phone overseas.

So I bought a fantastic new phone when my windows one had a hard fall... for £40!! Epade S90 Branded 'Jcomm NEO' (A what??) Dual sim, dual core, fm radio etc.
Still cant get over the value, but im now wondering if its flashable/moddable?
Its completely unlocked, no network, even the serial is 123456789ABCDE
Has some sort of semi stock rom on there, no branding
How would I know if it is?
Runs really nice but im always tinkering
current details:
BASEBAND version MAUI.11AMD.W12.22.SP.V5.P3,2012/09/10

I'm currently useing the same mobile phone, it's flashable, you can bulid your own CWM recovery using MTK Droid tools. There is even a TWRP recovery v2.4.1.0. at this forum. CWM gave me some backup problems, TWRP seems to be stable.
There are some custom ROMs on some chinese forumse, use Google.
Lewa seems to be pretty good.

Thanks for that - what model are you listing it by - I try to search google etc. using the above info but i just get Chinese sales websites. im guessing as mines a Jcomm, its rebranded accordingly but the underlying phone is a neo, epade s90
The battery is fine on mine, much better than the Windows phone I smashed by accident and hence this replacement. I have an 1850mah but ive seen 2200+ on ebay, maybe grab one of those?
Impressed for £40! Others are buying them now they've seen mine
It should be NEO model N002.
Are you using one or two SIM cards?
Can you please provide a link for that 2200+ battery, I would appreciate it.

Are you just lobbing the rom onto your sdcard and flashing with CQM then?
I can see I can get into recovery mode ok.
its all rooted and unlocked so not much else I need to do I don't think, just make sure I have a backup (it takes ages)
im not finding any roms on that site - are there no decent english sites?
Im trying to find roms for generic mk65777...
may give up!
cyanogenmod says device unsupported when i run the install
I've also just brought a Neo N002 for £40.
The "Epade S90" referes to a discontinued model but the battery fits the Neo.
Or something like that
Ive now got half a dozen different n002 Roms on my SD...
Just Google "neo n002 Roms"
You will get a lot of Chinese sale sites selling the phone in the Google results but there are at least a dozen good sites (in Chinese) that have various Roms for this great phone.
Best one I've tried and am currently using is a BBk OS.
Looks a bit like cyanogenmod.
There is a good Sony ROM, and a Samsung/touchwiz rom that I found very laggy.
Just be aware that some Roms take ages to download from these sites and some are unflashable in cwm due to code 7 errors.
Couple of points-The makers advertisments claim the Neo has a 1.2 GHz dual core processor and 1gb ram.
It actually has a 1.0 GHz dual core processor and 442 mb (335 usable) ram.
Why the makers need to fib is beyond me.
One the back cover of my Neo, it says "with neo team sense"
This is obviously a reference to some people claiming the Neo to be a "clone" of an HTC ONE X.
The Neo looks nothing like an HTC one.
I'm more inclined to think the Neo is more like a Moto G IMHO.
Anyway, Good luck with the ROM hunting
