Is it worth trading my galaxy s 4g for a nexus s?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
It's a pretty even bet too me, but i don't pay attention to phone prices and other content, but I've always wanted a nexus phone, lol. They seem so pure and have alot of development for them. But I'll say what i say to every other person with a question relating to yours, it's up to you.
Sorry if i didn't help and just wasted your time.

I moved to a Nexus S a little over a month ago from the Galaxy S 4G and to me it was a great move. ROM development is definitely a good plus. I found it to be snappier than the Galaxy S 4G.

I think the only downside is the loss of 4g data speed. Other than that the nexus s is a better bet. Plus it is getting ics. I would go for it. If you don't like it I am sure you will find someone willing to trade again for it.

I have a samsung galaxy s2 epic 4g touch so I'm not familiar with any ROMs for her phone. I'm just looking for something stable and that has better-than-stock battery life and performance. She's not a tech junkie or anything like that, so it doesn't have to be anything fancy or anything that's going to require a lot of customizing. She likes her stock setup, but she's been complaining about battery life lately.
Thanks in advance for the help!
This is the Galaxy S 4G forum. The Epic 4G Touch forum can be found here. Good Luck with your quest!

I plan on picking up the S3 at or before launch. Which means I am dumping the Blaze. :-/
What will be the next device you move to?
Sent from my SGH-T769 using XDA Premium App
Im thinking the S3 as well. Or maybe the Evo LTE. Im not a big fan of Sense usually, but from what I've heard Sense 4 is much better. Definitely going back to Sprint though.

So you are wondering which device that people are gonna switch to after the Blaze, which came out like three months ago?
Errybody stackin chips and errything. lol.

Sense 4 is definitely a improvement but after having a s3 briefly its time for another.

Just meaning that they're expensive. Phone prices are comparable to home computers these days lol.
Also I'm bhurt cuz I started w/ the first mt3g, so I was spoiled by cyanogen early on. Now I f'ed up and
picked the wrong phone. BOO! T-mobile sucks. fully.
Going for the TMobile SIII. Been a big fan of Samsung galaxy line.

Well if anyone wants a blaze I have one up for trade as I don't plan on keeping it. Alot of devs are blind building so a device will help.

Not changing. I'm sticking with this for at least a year if not longer.

I'm holding out hope that one of Google's alleged 5 or 6 different Nexus line of phones will release later this year and that I'll like one of them.
The Galaxy Nexus for example, irks me to no end because it doesn't have a memory card slot. I have a 64g memory card, and there's no way I'm ever downgrading how much music I have on my phone.
I currently have the skyrocket but have a chance to get the Samsung galaxy nexus. I live in Oregon so no LTE. I need a second opinion which is better for games picture taking and mainly overall performance. Would really love some input I'm stuck in between.
Nexus
Skyrocket has better hardware. Camera is better. Processor is better. Screen is bigger. We have aosp. Shall I say more?

Gnex camera is bad apparently.
Both phones are powerful, very very powerful. If you're comfortable rooting it honestly doesn't make much of a difference and I'd go with the Skyrocket since out of three things you mention picture is one of them and I've heard complaints about Gnex camera.
Without the LTE its a bit disappointing though. In all honesty you're choosing between two high end android devices, you'll be perfectly satisfied with either. Given the fact you're on XDA you must be some what of a techie, so maybe GNex is your best bet. Try out the camera first though
Yep there is a white nexus.. its not on Google's site idk y. But tried camera and love it so far thinks its better then skyrocket to be honest I couldn't get good pics with SR

Yeah. It has a glossy finish which is why I prefer the titanium one.
Really depends on what your priority is. If you're in an LTE market, Skyrocket seems to be a better choice. As a SR owner I'm considering selling and moving to a Nexus. If you need your phone unlocked than consider a plus for Nexus since you'll save $20 there. As others have mentioned look into the camera, I however use mine once a month if that.
I guess biggest part is how much Dev support you need. Nexus will keep you flashing everyday of you so choose. SR options are a bit limited but those who have worked on it have done a fantastic job.

I compared my skyrocket to my friends gnex and although the gnex screen looks better I would personally stick with the Skyrocket mainly because of the build quality. It just feels better in hand. Other than that, the gnex has an awesome community and more stable asop stuff.

what!? ive been thinking about switching to Nexus since yesterday. Holy Crapple Crap!
How is it skyrockets screen is bigger? its 4.5 vs 4.65 Nexus. And nexus has 720p screen when skys is only 480p. LTe isnt important too me.. yes its super fast internet but i never found it useful. I mean if i had unlimited plan then Lte sure is nice but i have 300mb data and i find it enough for emails a couple pics and web. I used to have unlimited with ipoop 3G but my monthly usage was around 250mbs.
Does anybody knows if nexus front facing camera has auto focus?

Hi everybody, it has been 24 beautiful months with my HTC evo 4g and I have upgrade opportunity (sprint) I have flashed around 30 ROMs and I'm still in love with this phone, any ideas of what sprint phone will make a very good upgrade I just don't want to upgrade to a phone that is going to disappoint me since my evo hasn't.
A lot of people tells me that I should wait for the iphone 5, I'm not really sure, thnx in advance

EVO 4G LTE or Galaxy Nexus or Sprint Galaxy S3
Those are the top phones on Sprint right now,
Sent from my MB508 using xda premium
IMO, the Samsung Galaxy S3 is the most beautiful and exciting phone I've ever held. Until I played with that for a few minutes, I was positive my next phone would be an iPhone. My DROID Charge is about a year older than the S3 and I couldn't help but think of what a difference a year makes. That difference was enough to convince me that the Android is much more fun to own. My phone is a hobby, always a progress in motion. For better or worse.

I would suggest to wait for the galaxy s Note 2 . Been waiting for it to come,and from what i heard the spec are quite high, its the like enlarge version of Galaxy S3.

So I have had the Epic 4G since it came out over 2 years and with how much it chugs, the terrible battery life, and the now cracked screen, its time for an upgrade. I've been holding out for Google to announce a new Google phone but it doesn't look like there will be a Sprint version for some time. I'm currently debating between the S3 or the Note 2 but not sure which. What does anyone else think? There might be other phones I'm missing but I've heard really good things for both of these.
