Hi Guys,
This weekend my phone fell out of my hands and now the glass display is broken, which sux a**! To repair it, it will cost around 150 euro. So I started thinking about buying a new phone.
Surely I'd want to buy the SGS 2 or the HTC Sensation, but the price of 500 euro just doesn't do it for me, I was already very happy with my HD2, so why spent so much money on a phone which will open my mail in 200 ms instat of 400 ms
But the LG Optimus 2x of 400 euro's is one i'd consider. But, this phone comes with Android 2.2 standart which I think/hope is the couse of all the bad tests on the internet. But if I look into the LG Optimus 2x forum here at xda, I see there are not very much roms available, and it looks like they are not jet completely stable. (or a i wrong?)
So, is it worth it to buy this phone, or should i look into a SGS/Desire HD/Desire S (for better battery usage) or just repair my HD2?
The 2x is a very well priced phone, and there is cm 7 for your froyo troubles.

samsung galaxy s2 also good ，I am using desire S2 iphone4 and orange v880
Whoever gave you that repair quote is really trying to rip you off. We have never charged more than 100USD for glass, 150 total for glass and lcd. I would say keep looking, youll probably find a better repair shop that charges you less to fix it.
HD2's are excellent phones, ive passed up a Nexus S 9020 and 2 iphone 4's in favor of my pocket laptop

I want to trade or sell my unlocked AT&T branded (GSM, not CDMA) HTC Touch Pro, aka the HTC Fuze. The Touch Pro comes with all the original documentation and cables, a composite video/audio out, a charging station/cradle, a nice Waterfield suede case, the best screen protector you can get, a miniUSB to 3.5mm adapter for audio out and a 16GB microSDHC. It will come preloaded with the stock ROM or a nice cooked ROM. The phone was only used for two weeks and is in near mint condition, it has minor wear-and-tear scratches on the back but the screen itself has only made air contact for seconds while changing the screen protector. I'm looking for around $450 but I'd much rather trade.
I'm selling it since it the mp3 player functionality isn't as good as I had hoped, goodbye Sim City 2000 .
I'm really looking for a newer DSLR or a black 16GB 3g iPhone but I'll consider other good deals. Feel free to ask any questions.

bump? I thought it was a decent deal. Feel free to offer
$525 is a bit too high, you would have a much better chance lowering the price.
Price dropped a considerable amount.
Last bump before it goes on the hell hole that is eBay
your best bet is ebay... you'll probably get 350-400 for it used im thinkin.
btw.. what the heck r u talking abt the mp3 player isn't good? it's as good as the software u install on it... *confused*
Well considering the cheapest I've seen a used Fuze go for is $400, the 16gb microSD is $50++, the video cable $30, the screen protector and case are another $30 and the adaptor is $10, $450 is a steal.
I have some stuff to trade:
HTC TYTN II (new as of December 31st 2GB SD) $250
1000W 2x 12" subwoofers with 580 W amp (over 1000W bridged) $175
Tripp Lite UPS. Smart 750 SL (pure sine wave output, 750W @ 25 minutes runtime, NEW! $125)
DXG MP4 video camera. Works A+ for youtube and with a full SD slot. $100 (barely used)
Shipping is going to be horrible but it happens. let me know at ubercomputers @ Gmail.com

If you've had it less than 7 or 14 days (network dependant) they might let you send it back, then you can upgrade to your fruity phone!
About £230
A Blackberry? bit of a girly phone that. You can get spare batteries for the LG on eBay, 2 batteries and a stand alone charger costs about £8 then you can always have a spare in your pocket/handbag ;-)

There is a 3500mA battery, but it will make the device much thicker.
The Galaxy S2 has amazing battery now I can easily get 2 days from the one I picked up recently, where as I could barely get any more than 13 hours from the O3D.
Yes, but SG2 is not 3D, so can'really compare them, no?!?

You can compare as the battery life is terrible on the Optimus 3D even if you don't use any of the 3D features of the phone.
It's ugly but you can buy a 3500mah extended battery for the O3D. I just ordered one for $9.99 on ebay with cover and free shipping.

actually... you can't really compare because Optimus 3D is still 2.2 and SG2 is 2.3
and... Super AMOLED+ vs LCD
If SG2 doesn't have much more battery life then something is wrong
Hello guys, I was looking for a new phone under £150 and I stumbled upon this phone, the Orange San Francisco II aka ZTE Crescent, what are your views?
800 MHz Proccessor.
5MP camera + A front camera.
Android 2.3 Gingerberad.
3.5-inch WVGA TFT capacitive touch screen, and multi-touch.
£99 on PAYG + £10 top up
http://shop.orange.co.uk/mobile-phones/san-francisco-II-from-orange-in-black
Looks like a nice phone, I'm also wondering what Orange are like as a network? Will I get unlimited texts and a fair amount of internet for £10 a month like I can on other networks?
Anyone want to give me their views?
you could do what im doing and buy an unlocked motorola defy from computer exchange for about £145. the defy is overclockable to about 1.3ghz and has great dev support. there is also an ics port in the works.
I don't like buying second-hand, I was going to get a HTC 7 Mozart for £140 from a local exchange but decided against it. Thanks for your input.

Hey man, it is a really good phone for its value. It is at the lower end of the spectrum but still does the same job as all the other phones. Made out of plastic, so do not expect a steel finish and a great feel in hand, BUT, and a big BUT.. it is an awesome phone.
I owned a SF1, and that was great.. so the moment I saw the SF2, I purchased it straight away.
As an alternative, for £20 pounds more..you can buy the Orange Monte Carlo..same specs, but bigger screen! And it has more dev support right now.
Hope it helps!
I decided to take the plunge and I ordered it, I don't want to mess around with development etc, just a stock phone for now! I opened the box and held the phone, felt nice, and the specs are better than my G5, it's great value for money. Can't have the phone till Christmas though, thanks for the reply though!
Hi ..... My iPod Touch 4G 32 GB just died.Actually not dead , but its not charging anymore. The Apple Service center guys won't repair it, there is just replacement for iPods. Since its out of warranty, i have to give 220 $ for its replacement with a new iPod Touch 4g 32 gigz. Its a year and a half old device. Please i need your opinion, should i go for the replacement or should i invest this much money in something else. ? i am confused badly !!.....
Buy a replacement battery. Study the videos on youtube that explain how to replace it.

That depends. If you feel uncomfortable replacing the battery and want to try Android I would recommend the Samsung Galaxy Player (SGP) 4, 4.2 or 5. The SGP 5 is currently $200, on sale, at my local Best Buy, so its the same price, roughly.
If you have made purchases on iTunes and have an made a decent investment there then I would suggest you stay, as you will probably be unable to bring the songs/videos and the like to the Android Market. The battery replacement shouldn't be too bad so the choice is yours.
They are mostly android phones without the phone component.
That being said I love my SGP 5. It is a single-core device so it can be slow but its been an awesome experience.
Well if you want a pad..dont go for apple products
pick a nice android tab
more outcome from the money
If you haven't invested to much in app store then dump the iPod.

Okay topic may not be so clear, so let me explain.
My LG Nexus 5 has fell down to ground from about 3 meters and screen is cracked. I think it is only the glass because even on the worst crack touch screen works great there is no problem with touch screen, but the glass on it is cracked, however even frame had damages. Now I must buy exatcly this : http://www.amazon.com/Replacement-D...pebp=1440720620149&perid=1KKY5MEEXHDG1M4DWTH5
Because the other producs makes mu puke, I just can't trust them, you know, quality, dead pixels. I'm far away from the idea of buying another brand lcd screen. That link I've send is of the link original LG product. At least seller is LG.
But unfortunately I don't live in merica so amazon is very un-friendly website for non-merican fella.
I have around 100 order on aliexpress, that is a good shopping site too at least they send most of the producs with free shipping (of course product include shipping cost but amazon does not even send it to TURKEY ! they don't even let me afford the shipping cost amazon only says : this shipping address is invalid bla bla and some crap.) But there is so many fake sellers in aliexpress. I find a lcd screen which costs 52$, And I 've send a message about "if it is original or not" title was something like %100 Original LCD Screen for LG NEXUS 5 (for lg nexus 5 , not original lg lcd for lg nexus 5.....) my English might be bad, but not bad as to get scammed. And the answer was "original" well I'm definitely not satisfied that answer.
So just help me here, Nexus 5 is my love, it turns me on when I look her... But now she is ugly as pig Just help me to find original LG LCD screen with free or cheap shipping to TURKEY.
Regards, Thanks in advance
and forgive my damn poor english.
You could try checking some European Amazon websites such as Amazon UK, Amazon DE. They might be able to provide shipping (though it won't be free).
Thanks for reply,
And I've checked amazon UK. There weren't any lg brand LCD display. But in the amazon.de I've found one, which is seller was also LG, but cost is 95€!... I didn't even check shipping cost... Well brand new LG Nexus 5 is 260$....
I don't wanna end up in aliexpress which looking for another brand... Because I've already did it and feedbacks was terrible, first of all, almost all of them got screen with dead pixels. And most of them says there is a problem about corners, sensors...

LG is probably the only choice you'll have to be assured that it's genuine.
Just swapped mine out yesterday. Damn near perfect. Led is brighter, seems like its missing a filter or something under the glass. Light bleed was worse on my OEM lcd. $50 got me the lcd + assembly. My old assembly was cracked by all buttons and sim card. Win win. Www.gadgetfix.com

Hell yes ! I guess I gotta check for alternatives, because LG LCD is too expensive, so maybe others who changed their screen before can share their thoughts about whatever they bought. , There is still one more week to my payday, I will be looking for alternatives untill that day.
And the product you got in my list.

Well, here is another question which is really disturbing me. You know, original nexus 5 has 1920x1080 445ppi screen with Gorilla Glass 3, I really don't think there are any seller selling 445 ppi.. I'm over Gorilla, I can accept exceptions but Im afraid they gonna send me something like 300ppi , I've never been so confused for my entire life, because feedbacks are terrible.
And, that "LG" seller on amazon, turns out fake seller... Thanks to feedbacks...

If it's 1920x1080, then it's definitely 445PPI.
PPI depends ONLY on resolution and screen size. So if system reports full hd, then it's all good.
PPI = ( √(width² + height²) ) / screen size
PPI = ( √(1920² + 1080²) ) / 4.95 = 2203 / 4.95 = 445.0505
As for Gorilla, well this is kinda tricky, you never know if it has it when you are buying non-OEM screen assembly.
Here is what happened since then.
Then I had scracty screen. A month ago I have dropped my nexus 5 again and screen was totally gone. I had alike thread in reddit too and they suggested me to go with etradesupply. It was 50$ + 30$ shipping cost for me. Still, I could pay for my lovely N5, -because I knew If I wanted to go cheaper way, Actually there was 30$ products on aliexpress with some good feedback- long story short I got my screen from etradesupply It arrived in 3 day -that was horrible, It scared me a liitle bit than I said : This is where my 30$ went- came in great condition very good packing. Screen quality rocks but one problem! It drains almost 2 maybe 2.5 time more than the original one. Colors are perfect but I do not know what to do with this consuming problem. Other than that I would totally recommend the LCD I got.
I'm not sure why the LCD would drain the battery so quickly. I'd look for some other issue because I have replaced Nexus 5 screens using replacements from Aliexpress and none of them caused the battery to drain any faster than the original screen.
