What would you suggest as an alternative? - General Questions and Answers

I am really into rooting/trying out new roms/themes and wanted to try flashing ubuntu.
I appreciate a nice screen (resolution and graphics) and good processing.
Problem... My asurion insurance is out on my Infuse, 2 of my Infuses were stolen. Both were from Ausrion, as my original ended up with a cracked screen (my fault).
I can't afford this phone straight up at the moment, and would like to have something to use so I don't pay $50 a month for nothing...
What can you guys suggest?
Even if the option is a cruddy phone before modding, I'd be interested.

The Galaxy W , HTC EVO 3D , LG Optimus GT540 , Galaxy S2 or maybe even the Sensation XL/XE (take your pick)

[Q] which phone shall I buy ?

I need an unlocked phone
Thing iss my budget is 350
Maximum
I was thinking of getting a x10 used
or just get a samsung s.
Whats your opinion?
Thanks. Andriod only though. can you give me other choices ?
Thank you.
If you like messing around with your phone (Flashing, tweaking, modding, etc.) and the T-MOUS HD2 works in your area for 3G, go with that.
Otherwise, a used Nexus One or HTC Desire I'd say... The X10 isn't what it's cracked up to be.
Who is your carrier and in what country?
i don't like samsung ,because my sister have one , voice of it very low
Well I can start by saying there is a huge difference between a nexus s and a x10. They both suck. The nexus s is a Samsung and it's already falling behind many android phones about to be released, nexus s is much better than the Sony tho. I olwould wait a month or so and you can get a dual core. They are on the way.

Shop around. Keep your options open. Plenty of phones out there that are better than the x10 Sam S. Check Craigslist, ask your friends, etc. You can get a good deal for 350.
Desire Z/G2 is another option you might want to consider.
I bought my new desire hd a week ago and its amazing...highly recomended!
i think samsung galaxy s is the best at the moment

Which one should I buy: Galaxy R or Optimus 3D?

Hi guys, I'm new to here.
I don't know which one I should buy: Optimus 3D or Galaxy R?
Some of my friends says that Optimus 3D uses TI OMAP4430, its faster. But in YouTube videos, Optimus 3D suck in internet using. Galaxy R is not fast as Optimus 3D but it plays 3 videos in same time perfectly.
I don't care about the 3D option of Optimus. I just want to have a phone which can give me good sound, fast internet using and watching videos, great screen to play games and enough battery time for me.
In here...
Galaxy R is 485 euros/630 dolars.
Optimus 3D is 525 euros/685 dolars.
Thanks.
Get a Galaxy S2. It's amazing. If you want a cheap dual core droid get the Galaxy R.

Yea, LG....???
GS2 or I guess, R, though I'd just fork over a little bit more and get S2.
Or try lg optimus black, best screen ive seen
huh?
I'm either that old-fashioned or LG actually stepped their game since last tech-decade (which isn't an actual decade, but you know what i mean)?
Get a Nexus Phone. It's the best android phone!
I think you can also get a HTC Sensation for the price of the Optimus 3D. If it is avaiable in your country i'd totally recommend the Sensation. If you can spend a little more get a GS2. I bought mine for 550 dollars and it is totally worth it

SGS2. Clear choice.
Check out www.gsmarena.com and use their compare option.
I say Galaxy Nexus if on VZW if not import (if you can) for T-Mobile or ATT. Since this has awesome dev support, Nexii always do. Or just wait for quad core phones CES is next week. If you can't wait I say gs2 on any carrier but VZW

Galaxy S II is the clear winner from that list, Build quality wise only the HTC beats it.. otherwise for dev support, playing games & good battery life Galaxy S II wins
Samsung galaxy s2
Fastest
Vivid Screen
Light, Thin
Most Devs
Motorola photon 4g
I don't really see any major pros compared to the other devices
Htc sensation
Sense
The back of it looks pretty good, made of aluminium.
Lg optimus 3d
3D
If you value 3rd party dev support, then I would probably pick samsung or htc, as they have rather big dev community
cheers
so its mean the SGSII is good form all aspects .... guys i want a phone which has good quality . a phone if which will drop form hand and phone can handle the drop i think you guys understand what i want o say

are you sure about that?
they always break their promises, just like Motolora
i actually find Samsung to be the only one that actually listen to what customer wants, and they have been doing great at it these last 2 years
i would go with the GSII
Well if u want a phone that can handle a fall. Better not buy any of those lolol try a nokia 3310 or something lol

not sure if you have seen the drop test of Galaxy phones vs Iphones
but just today i had my first hand real life experience
took the phone out of my front shirt pocket, shoulder height and my fingers slipped, it went face down straight to a concrete floor (it bounced like 4 times before coming to a full stop) and it's still alive and kicking, except for a few scratches on the bezel everything is fine.
as you can see from y siggy, it's a SGS2 from Tmo
ok guys i m going to buy SGSII
thanks for yours comments
Just get a samsung epic you can get them brand new for like $200 or so, with a memory card, the II isn't worth the extra money.

[Q] Which phone should I get?

I'm going to replace my HTC Wildfire with a better second-hand phone that still retain Android as OS, possibly with ICS support, even with rom xD.
For a budget of 200€ (250$) which should be the best for multimedia, gaming, etc..
Thanks in advance ^^
LG optimus 2x Speed
HTC is very nice...
When you have 280€ you should buy HTC Desire S .
I have it too.
It´s great
I think LG X3 will be better option it has marvelous specs but you have to wait for it....
agree if you can wait for the LG X3
that would be a good option
Wait for the Samsung Galaxy Note LTE
Wait til Feb 12 and the Samsung Galaxy Note LTE will be out for AT&T for $250 there is nothing better til the SG3 comes out this Oct

Looking 'bout the galaxy note
:Q___'
A lot of the cheaper Androids can be overclocked to run at excellent speeds. I wonder if there's a chart comparing speeds between overclocked phones somewhere.
Its coming out for 299$

Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Based on the available(by Feb 18) phones on contract in the US, I don't believe there is a phone with better specs than the Note. If you can't handle the size of the beast, maybe wait until the Skyrocket HD comes out probably in March or April.
I for one am getting the Note on the 18th, mostly cuz I don't use my device as a phone much and want it more for the mini tablet aspect.
I don't believe the GS3 will be in the US for at least 4 months, because they haven't even announced it yet and when they do it will make the euro tour before we see it. I can't wait that long.
I think HTC EVO 4G is good

Honestly you should purchase the Galaxy SII skyrocket from samsung it is worth the buy!!
Samsung galaxy s2, or save some more money and wait for the s3.
Probably the Note is the best deal... but mine speaker distorted and my friend's one home button feel loose after extensive use.
But if the above not happen, then it will be the best C/P device for this moment

The Galaxy S II or the Galaxy Nexus. Samsung has stepped up their game big time. HTC is still good as well but needs help in the screen technology department. Seems like every LCD screen out there can't compare to SAMOLED. Samsung phones are also light and thin.
Ok guys! Thanks to everyone ^^.

[Q] i can't stand the lack of support anymore

guys, i'm creating this thread to ask you a question
i have an LG Optimus 3D (P920)... i've waited and waited for ics, but it doesn't look like is going to happen in a short time.
soooo, i wanna change my phone.
the other day a guy offered me an iphone 4 (not 4s) with all the accessories for my O3D, the iphone is impecable, cero scratches or anyting, no money involved, just a trade.
i know the iphone 4 is 1 year older than the O3D but in "apple terms" that doesn't do so much of a difference (the iphone 4 is still pretty fast)
so, i ask you guys.... do you think is a good deal?
PS: iphone's devaluation is minimal, maybe i can do the trade and latter getting something even better than the O3D by trading the iphone again or selling it.
PS2: Sorry about my english, i know i suck xD but my native language is spanish
PS3: i know the iphone it's a "locked" phone in almost every single way... but at least it get SW updates =/
Xbox: thank you guys !!!
IPhone is all the same no customizing as in roms or overclock iPhone is all stock all the time and nothing is open sourced the call is yours but I would NOT trade

"Potéito" "Potátô"
trade for the Iphone, then u get rid of the O3D.
There are many people wanting to get an Iphone, so it would be easy for you to switch it with a better Android Smartphone.
Personally i would go for a Sony
If you trade it with iPhone in order to sell iPhone I'd say yes but if you going to keep the iPhone 4 I'd say that you should think of it again cause my opinion is that o3d is better.
Lots of my customers were dissapointed when I used to take out of my pocket the O3D and put it next to their iPhone 4 (after they bought the iPhone )
Regarding apple updates I can say that most of them weren't even noticed by user's.
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app
get the iphone, if you don't like it you can sell it for double what your O3D is worth.
Trade and sell iPhone for a a better Android an HTC or Samsung.

ok, i trade my p920 ahahaha, know i'm gonna sell it and buy something better
thanks to all of you guys! <3
please some MOD close this thread
I traded my o3d for a iPhone 4s then traded that for a HTC one x and I traded my other 3d for a skyrocket so I would say check out kijiji or Craig's list

Holy WOW ur lucky here in belgium, I can't even trade my optimus 3d MAX(p720) with a Iphone 4(S) or htc one X. Some people even don't want to trade a Galaxy s 2 (WTF) with
O3Dmax.
The reason why I want to get rid of this is because it doesn't have any custom rom or even stock ics rom ;''((
