Hello all, I am heavily think about paying my ETF from AT&T and moving to Sprint. I can get 4 smart phones for the same price plan as I have at AT&T with just 2 smart phones and 2 regular phones.
On that note, I am looking at either the Nexus S or the SGII.. What are you opinions? I am leaning more towards Nexus S since it is a TRUE Google phone, no bloatware from Samsung or Touchwiz. But the downfall I feel is no SD card.
Please let a future Sprint customer know your opinion.
Thanks
It really depends on what you want to use your phone for.
An external SD card could be useful if you want a lot of media, and the dual core CPU and 1GB of RAM on the S2 will certainly help with gaming and flash heavy websites. However, as you state, the Touchwiz UI is certainly a bit crappy, and having used my friend's Samsung handsets I much prefer my Nexus S.
While the Nexus S doesn't have an SD card, it certainly has a good sized amount of storage (iPhone users all seem to manage fine with 16GB) and it is much zippier without bloat ware or extras. You're also going to get better support in terms of updates, and if you're a dev or a modder you're going to have a much easier experience with the Nexus S.
At the end of the day, I'd say go for the Nexus S if you want to mod, learn how Android works or stay at the cutting edge of Android. The 1GHz Hummingbird may not be dual core but it's still a damn fast chip and will get quick updates for a long time to come yet.
If you'd rather play lots of games, take HD video and use the phone for media then go for the S2.
Hope this helps

What he said best bet is go into a sprint store and play with both handsets and see what u like more. J wanted a gs2 but I heard that phone was having signal issues. I don't know if they got resolved but I couldn't be more happier with my nexus s 4g. I just wish sprint hurry up and fix there network.

So has the Nexus S received its official ICS update? I dont really use my phone much anymore to watch stuff off the internet since I got my Transformer. I play my games and watch movies off it. But I do surf the net, and would be using the Sprint TV option, you know the average user stuff.
I do root all my devices, I love custom roms and the ability to get free wifi tether, etc...
Damn, I wrote a whole page and it didn't post! I have both phones so I will give a quick summary...development and timely updates- Nexus. If battery and over the top performance are most important then ET4G. The LOS (loss of signal) issue was cleared up with an OTA update

Go on samsung S II and you will not regret ! ( Nexus S is limitted now 512RAM, No micro SDcard, only one 1GHz proc....) I have both devices but you can't compare SII with NS ( SII is faster than many tablets, has a magnificent display, and many other benefits ) ! Good luck in your choice !
Get the gs2.
I own a ns4g and my wife has the epic touch gs2. No matter what you read, or hear touch wiz getting slammed...the gs2 smokes my ns4g in every respect. Its a large phone but other than that it blisters my ns4g and has better battery life. Both phones are stock.
What they all said .. SGSII. Once rooted, bloatwares/junkwares are no longer a problem as you would flash custom ROM anyway (I know I would). The SGSII's hardwares just blow the NS out of the water.

How does the Nexus S manage in gaming? I don't play the latest games, but maybye some Angry Birds, Guns n' Glory or Toki Tori. Mostly i'm texting and using android apps. Can I buy the Nexus S, or should I buy the SGS2?
That's like buying a mustang gt or springing for the cobra. If u can afford it, the bigger IS better
I have an NS4G but would love to have an S2. I like the larger screen (my previous phone was an Evo, and it fit my hand perfectly) and more robust hardware.
Throw an aosp rom into the S2 and you have the best of both worlds.
My only gripe with Samsung is how they didn't include the Wolfson WM8994 and cheaped out by using a Yamaha DAC, otherwise I'd probably be all over one of the variants. If you're someone who wants to use their phone as their primary portable audio player, and care about sound quality a lot, there's a huge selling point for the Nexus S, as well as the original Galaxy S phones.
Otherwise, the SGS2 is better in pretty much every respect. Not a fan of TouchWiz though, but there would likely be a TouchWiz free ROM shortly after ICS is released for it.
If you do not have enough money to afford an SII, then go on Nexus S , still good and you can play games without problems

So I'm done with the sensation, all the "remove all sense, add fast in topic title" devs (no offence, but I personally think there's too many of this already).
I'm now thinking of getting a Gal Nex, only because of the AOSP development over there. but I am a little worried it might be slower than my sensation (1.5ghz vs 1.2, anyone? and the gpu?)
So in your honest opinion, do you think an upgrade to the gal nex is okay?

If you have this opinion, you'll never have a new phone. A "better" phone is ALWAYS around the corner. I'm alright with specs like the gal nex or the sensation because I don't game .

ive been through many phones already. i came back to the sensation because the specs of the current phones are all the same in some way. i chose sensation for build quality, looks, and camera. and especially with the One series coming out, wait for it.
Galaxy nexus is not an upgrade from sensation, it is a side grade. It's better in some ways but worse in others.

As above poster said, it's a "side-grade" rather than an upgrade. It's most likely that cpu doesn't make that much noticable difference: 1.2 should be enough to run contemporary apps (they're usually designed to be compatible with slower phones, hence why iPhone can get away with underclocking for instance), especially since you don't game. Ditto for the GPU. This should also lead to better battery life - along with having a more powerful battery, of course.
That said, there are a lot of quirks with the Nexus itself (and, to some extent, Samsung's handling of it). Camera, MTP USB protocol only, nonremovable SD card, question of whether car dock will ever be made. Make sure you research and are happy with all of them before buying.
It's been a few months, so the Nexus should be getting pretty cheap. I would get it for at most $600 U.S. Price promotions often come out here, though I'm not sure about in your geographical location.
I assume you know about the alternatives showcased in MWC that are coming out in a few months. Huawei Ascend D (the "fastest phone") is rumored to come with stock ICS for example. Galaxy Nexus is still probably the best bet right now for longer term dev support, however.

Hmm, thanks for the reply . I've already made a deal with the seller and we're meeting up tomorrow. Will probably make a comparison. But just out of curiosity, which gpu performs better?and I mean real life performance. Eg our gpu is supposedly better that the gs2's but in real life gs2 is much better.

There are some amaizing development on diffrent kernels on the GN. So with a costum kernel you will brobably not feel like it´s going slower atleast...
Well, the Galaxy Nexus is a great phone, so is all of the Galaxy lines and it's variants.
But it is rumored that the S3 will come out within 6 months. If you have patience wait for that
If not go with the Galaxy Nexus, or Galaxy S2.
Personally an Infuse 4g User (Variant of the S2).
I really wouldnt get the Nexus and go for the S2 or wait a month or two for the Htc one X and im sure there will be AOSP roms for it soon
The one X looks like a beast even with the htc sense on it
The Galaxy Nexus is an awesome buy, the trouble with always waiting is that you end up buying nothing
As said its a side grade, but you get the benefit of quick novelty updates. Personally I would wait for A15 cored phones instead.
$1 gets you a reply
And this is why I bought my Nexus before MWC ...

Haha, I got my nexus. Its an upgrade from the sensation. Even though specs isn't as nice on paper, it feels faster. I don't regret getting it.
As for the one x will get aosp in a few months, I wouldn't count on it. People have been saying that for the sensation ever since the day we got s-off. But look at it now. Lol.

YES YES YES, nexus ALWAYS gets support from google no matter what, for about 2 years. The one thing I have witnessed with android is horrible support and update timelines for every phone other than the nexus line. Plus if you're not happy, the nexus always has a rather big dev community
there are some really good changes in the new one so I think its better to go for a new one if you really like
Hi guys hoping you can help.
Ive had my Xperia Play since new, but its screen has gone and feels slow compared to my mates phones now.
Ive been offered the choice of 3 phones.
Nokia Lumia
Samsung Galaxy s3
Xperia U
Im only really interested in making calls,texts,emails,music,browsing and games. All the other special features that come with all new phones are just a gimmick to me, (My X Play was rooted and bloat free within an hour of me getting it) so things like "Siri" on Iphone and S-Voice on Samsung are not a deal winner for me.
One thing I would like is to be able to hook my phone up to my TV via HDMI, something that was GREATLY overlooked on the Xplay, mores the pity.
So, seeing as im no expert, and you guys at XDA seem to be in the know please vote and if you pick "other" leave a comment explaining what phone and why.
Many thanks guys and gals!
Mr Flipfoot
it is also depending on what you want to pay for it
if it doesn´t matter what it cost
i would choose the s3 by samsung cause it has the best performance i think (and many custom roms of course and official update support)
you could connect it to your tv with the following adapter by samsung:
EPL-3FHUBE
(sry i can´t post a link because im a new member )
I would choose Samsung S3 because of the performance. If you're a mean android gamer then it's great for you. But if I really get to choose, I'd love to have Xperia acro S. It has 12MP, 1.5 dual core, HDMI, 11GB internal memory, up to 32 GB SD card and others.. It also looks sleek. You should search for it. I'm not much on the processor speed. I just love Sony's design and features. A fast, beautiful phone that could do everything I want would be great enough. This is just a suggestion. The decision is yours of course.
It all depends on
1 what is your budget
2 carrier (contract specific carrier or prepaid)
With your requirements and considering all carriers supported
Galaxy nexus, S2 or S3.

I agree with this. People always look at a Nexus' specs and go "it looks totally average, why get that when you can get a Galaxy S III or blahblahblah". Hardware specs will only get you so far. What good are they, though, when your software is perpetually bloated and outdated? I'd rather not be at the mercy of Samsung/HTC/whoever for updates.
The Nexus development scene is second to none, too.

Wait for the Note II to come out.
(I'm presuming that you're very interested in games, browsing etc.)
I know i'm getting hated for saying this but am i the only one that thinks the S3 is overrated? I'd rather have a Galaxy Nexus than an S3. And there are quite a few alternatives to the S3 like the One X (Many reviewers say it has the best screen out there), the 4X HD (Also IPS LCD like the One X but with bigger removable battery and microSD slot), the Galaxy Nexus (Sure, it isn't a quad core but if you check out on youtube a comparison between the GN and a quad core phone you will see that the Nexus can be as smooth (On JellyBean) or even smoother not to mention you get all the updates first) also the RAZR MAXX (It might not be the best phone spec wise but it has a huge battery which provides excellent battery life).
Sorry for the bad english.
Wife wants one but as she has not much experience with smartphones (except symbian) a low end device would be a good starting point.
Decent camera, 5mpix+ and power to run Web browser so it's not frustrating.
Ofc the bigger the screen the better.
Main use case would still be talking so if there are problems with built in speaker or modem sw that would be deal killer.
Any suggestions?
Price max 120€, that's ~150$ and needs to be available/shipped to Europe.

I would get a decent one and just strip the programs she wont use. I personally regretted getting abasic one to start with a week later when I wanted more out of it and had to go buy another. Same with my wifes phone.. hers lasted about a month. Same with BOTH of our tablets. May as well start out with what you are going to want if you ask me.

I'd get a mid-range phone. Maybe one that is over a year old but still powerful, like the Galaxy S2. Probably better off getting a phone that used to be top of the line and has been discounted heavily due to depreciation as opposed to a phone that is entry level. I would really stray from weak Android phones.

^This.
I wouldn't recommend a low-end Android phone to anyone, as it simply defies the whole concept of smartphone. It is not exactly "smart" when you have to wait whole eternity for a simple operation as starting a web browser, and doing a search. My Wildfire got so slow, that even typing an SMS was frustrating because of slowdowns. When using a offline navigation (IGo), I had to wait several minutes for program to load, and for GPS initialization. Even after it loads, it is frustrating to use it, because of weak CPU.
I guess, any phone with 1Ghz processor will be a good start...
All guys here are right........low end Android phones are very slow.
Really consider to buy a phone with least 1000 mhz.......they quite fast and great

Part of it is I speak from experience. I got my wife a Samsung Intercept for Virgin Mobile about a year ago and it was abhorrent. It was a low-end phone when we got it and it didn't take long for it to just become nearly unusable. Even with a FroYo upgrade it still sucked. Between the horrible phone speed and horrible internet speed that Virgin provided, we did a complete 180 and I got her an unlocked Galaxy Nexus and now we do T-Mobile PAYG 4G plan. Now she's really uses her phone for web stuff, apps, messaging, and taking photos, as opposed to before with the Intercept where she could just message and talk for the most part.

the s2 is a good choice but will easily break your budget. is this price with a contract or without? there's a bunch of phones available, as long as you stay above 1ghz as previously mentioned, and she'll be fine

Its laggy after installing 30-40 apps, RAM always show 50-90mb free. After minimizing opera min, dolphin browser and switching back to that app makes reload page again.
I think ANDROID is made for those high end cellphone which have higher hardware configuration i.e: 2GB RAM, 1GB DUAL CORE proccy etc.

Not quite sure who sold you on the Micromax A100 but you picked a horrible device for a starter Android experience. The reviews are horrible and if you are coming from a cooked down Nokia environment, then you will be disappointed with a device like this.
I do not know your region or carrier but there are much better devices running Android from Samsung and others that would be around the same you paid for the Micromax A100... ranging from free to $99.
Switch to ios. Next

Dude, you can't just buy some low end device and then complain about its lags. Cheap devices are not meant for smoothness. They are meant for general use. And I can still bet that this Android micromax is faster than your Nokia 5230

He totally said he was a decade long Nokia user... no iPhails mentioned.
But i must agree... this forum was never for what you hate... it is for questions, news and things you NEED/WANT.
you bought one of the WORST seriusly i mean it WORST mobile phone.
it has android ICS with Adreno 200. Ics is not meant for such phones. Dont complain for lag when you buy such a bad phone.
You could buy a budget device like xperia live with walkman it cost about the same. (maybe lower)
Just search before you buy.
As a lot of other people have stated in the thread, the Micromax A100 is a pretty terrible device that's not even optimized for the android version that it runs. The gift and curse of affordable android is that 99 times out of 100 it won't be a super duper fantastic experience like say... getting an iphone would, but the good part about android is that there are affordable devices that do most of the same things. Not all, like higher end games and all that jazz, but most. If you want to have an amazing experience with a phone in general, you're looking at spending at least 400 smackers on a device with all the right specs running the latest possible android version.

Download a root checker app? I know some are really easy to root, but I wouldn't trust something of I didn't understand what it was doing in the fist place.
I don't really know what you can do to make your phone "faster". Maybe there are custom ROMs for it that could help a bit, removing bloat, et cetera - but they are things that will make small differences, not huge ones.
You can't add more RAM, so re-draws and such are inevitable unless bloatware is taking up a huge, huge part of that.
And, yeah, an OS and the hardware are hugely connected. You could put Windows 7 on an underpowered machine and watch it lag and freeze and struggle - but can you really judge it from that?

As a fellow Nokia lover, try the 820 or 920. Beats any prior Nokia device and walks all over android.
Since you have rooted already , uninstall any micromax bloatware that your phone might have been shipped with. Use opera mini instead of dolphin browser. Get rid of most of the widgets that you seldom use. I used Samsung Galaxy 5 for a year on gingerbread , I know what you are talking about.

My phone has worst specs than yours and it doesn't lag. Mostly its the ROM its running and any stock ROM on any phone is slow and laggy so just root it and put on a new vanilla custom ROM on it and problem solved. I did and my phone is running alot smother and better.
learn, read, find forums here or search for forums on google regarding the handset that you are using and try to make it into the smartphone to give you a better experience...that is the fun about android my friend....and also if you are not happy with your current phone why not just trade it for something else..many entry level android handsets out there that are realy good and will give you a good android experience...need any help feel free to hit me with a PM...and guys mind your language here..we all here to respect other members and still help others who have difficulty no matter how they feel about android

YOu can not make gold out of crap. Go and get yourself a Galaxy 3 and you will love Android.
Your phone is crap
You chose one of the worst phones available. Your phone is the equivalent of a NES console where a galaxy note is the equivalent of a ps3. (not that the nes isnt epic its just old hardware,..) We have games that can rival consoles in terms of graphics and game play now and true 1080p hd resolutions backed up by quad cores and 2gb ram etc. Your phone sucks plain and simple not android. My G Note flys. Its as fast as my computer and normally have cmore than 400mb ram free our of the 1GB lol

He already said sorry for his behaviour. And xda is the place to help and get help, not the place to complain and accusing the phone. If you can't help, please don't post here
