android phone advice needed - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

i have the choice of these which should i go for
1 the htc desire hd
2 motorola atrix
3 htc desire z when it comes out
or is there anything else to consider on t-mobile

dupe all, go for Samsung Galaxy SII

The HD7 isnt an android phone imo the Desire HD/Inspire 4G is the best device on the market atm, yeah there are more powerful devices on the market like the SGS II the above poster mentioned, but android with sence is soooooooooo much better than touch wiz, stock android or any other UI

I just left the Nexus One & upgraded to the myTouch 4G & it's an awesome phone. Absolutely no complaints by me. Depending on where you live & what service/phones available you can't go wrong with this phone.

Out right now I would say the top five look like this:
1. Nexus S
2. G2
3. MT4G
4. Epic 4G
5. Desire
If you want updates in any sort of timely matter don't get a Samsung device unless it's the Nexus S, the rest of the phones rarely ever get updated.

The Nexus S
I used the xphone the Best of All.
Made In Germany
All others are crap
I know it's not Android-native, but I think the HD2 deserves mention here
Get a big sd card, and you can have many ROMs to choose from at any time, and its very fast and stable. Not to mention that I have an Android build on my sd card with over 200 apps, and it's still faster than most native Android devices. Not to mention that it also boots Ubuntu, and Windows Mobile 6.5 or WP7 and soon Meego
If you want a very capable, customizable Android phone, check it out!!

EPIC
HD 2 or EVO. Major community support, great hardware.
Anything by Samsung does not get updates.
This thread is going exactly as expected. Let's try it this way...Instead of me saying "GET THE PHONE I USE" I'd that if you don't need a new phone immediately, and can wait a few months, check out the next gen lineup when they come out. there will be loads of comparisons between them and the current gen phones. I say you make your choice based on that.
You don't know what carrier you want to use?
What kind of features do you want?
There is no clear cut "best Android phone". The best vanilla updated phone + best GPU + best screen goes to Nexus S. But no microSD slot and can be hit or miss with GPS issues.
The fastest Android with the best processor, front facing camera goes to MyTouch 4G. But standard OS is "bloated" and the phone can have issues with permanent root sticking.
The best Android with a qwerty keyboard is either the G2 or the Droid 2 Global. But the G2 has a slower processor and less ram than the MyTouch 4G and when upside down the keyboard hangs loose. And the Droid 2 Global has eFuse with a locked Bootloader so you can't fully customize it.
The best Android that has all around "decent" hardware but no clear cut "best" anything is probably the Desire. But the processor/GPU and hardware isn't really the strongest.
You really need to tell people what you want to do with the phone and how you'll be using it.

Which to buy? Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc vs HTC Sensation

Hello,
I'm from Czech Republic so sorry for my english . Can you help me which mobile to buy ? I decide between SE xperia Arc and HTC Sensation.
Mobile phone use on the web, sometimes photos, music and sometimes to games.
I heard that HTC have bad battery and camera. But SE Arc is a older model.
So which would you recommend
Thank you
Someone know ? Because I seriously can't decide
Don't know about the HTC and I guess it comes down to what your providers offer at what price. I do know one thing though, I would go for a samsung over a sony. I have one and my dad has the other.
Cheers,
Mike.
I'd go for a sensation anytime
Try HTC EVO 3D - longer battery life even with stock ROM .. it's my 2nd night my battery still 62% .. hell yeah!

I am a fan of HTC.

I got the Sentation and I have never had any regrets. My GF has a SE (xperia 10 mini pro) and I just hate the user interface, it's so limited.
Of course you can get a custom rom for it.
I don't know about the camera but I don't use it that much. Other hardware I think Sensation rules the SE.

[Q] Which phone should i buy?

Should i buy HTC Sensation, Galaxy R or something else??...
I got about 330 euros to use on a new phone.
Hello XDA, i've been searching for a new phone to buy for some time, due to the locked bootloader on my current Motorola Defy.
I don't care if it has MotoBlur, Sense or Touchwiz as it is features i really do not need.
What i really care about is the performance feel. I also want a phone that has active developers working on CyanogenMod or similar ROMS.
I really do not care about size as long as the screen is larger than 3.5 inches.
Hello
I have a Samsung Galaxy S Plus and i´m really happy with it.
There are not very much Custom Roms ( 5 or 6 i think), but if you just want to use it "normally" its a really great device
I hope it helped you!
well, im happy with my Galaxy Note

[Q] Stick with WP7 Or go back to android?

A month ago, I my HTC desire z spoiled and I went on to buy a lumia 710 for temporary use. I LOVED windows phones user interface but the lack of apps just makes me wanna move back to android. My desire z came back from repair and I was thinking of selling that and my lumia to get a sensation or atrix. Looking at the specs, the atrix and sensation should have about the same performance. Should i get the attrix since its alot cheaper? Or the sensation? Or use both my lumia and Desire Z?
Sensation

yeah sensation but you not planning to wait and see the galaxy s3?
Get the Atrix 2 as opposed to the original.
Sent from my U8150 using XDA
Why the sensation? I have no $$ for the SGS3. They dont sell atrix 2 in singapore, unfortunately.
Get the desire s,good price for ICS version of android
Sent from my U8150 using XDA
The sensation XE version is also very good for the extra $$$ with big bass on the stock earphones,but again battery drains fast, and galaxy s2 is around same price...consider it also.
Sent from my U8150
I think sensation is more popular eg More Roms I guess
I'm an audiophile, so no beats for me. I think I will get the sensation, if I can one thats within my budget. I might as well just stick with my DZ if I was thinking of getting the Desire S.
But am I gonna get the beautiful animations and fluidity of WP if I buy the sensation and cm on it?
With the sensation, definitely. Sense is awesome. Get it in white if you can

custom launcher?
SPB Shell is my favorite. Super slick and goes deep in your phone and changes everything.

Are there any apps in particular that you're missing on the Lumia or are you brainwashed into thinking that a jillion apps is what makes an OS? Your day-to-day interface with your phone is what will determine which route you take. To paraphrase Shakespeare, "to thine own self be true".
Sensation, better get a beast phone than 2 choppy ones and customization with Android is limitless

best android version to start themes on,

as the title says what would be the best version of android to start with? i have a wide range of phones soo heres a list:
htc droid incredible : 2.2-4.2
htc mytouch 4g : 2.2-4.2
htc inspire 4g : 2.1-4.3
htc dream : 1.6-2.2
motorola droid : 2.1-4.2
samsung galaxy s captivate 2.1-4.3
samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 4.0-4.3
lg ally 2.1-2.2
as you can see i have allot of choices i will most likely be doing cyangenmod themes though only cm 6-7 and 10-10.2 ics dosent really fit in unless cm 9 themes work on 10 and up. The amount of editing would not matter to me.
Ics it's easy than any other version
