[Q] Which phone should i buy? - General Questions and Answers

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

Sense vs TouchWiz check out videos and reviews of both overlays and also on hardware. DHD is still a good device.

I love my desire HD, but the battery does have issues (non rooted). My wife has the Galaxy S and loves it, battery seems to last forever.
My advice, get the HD and a Powerskinz now that they finaly make them if the battery issue is the dealbreaker.

what android phone do u think has the most dev's

just asking because I'm needing an new back up phone.
I'd assume Nexus ones.
Galaxy s and Nexus s as far as i know. Correct me if I'm wrong.
S2 as well, but Nexus is the only true dev-open phone.
well not the t-mobile ssgs2
i have the Samsung galaxy 2 and there noo great roms i am using beast mod 4..2 i like beast mod but i am looking for a back up phone that is well dev'ed so i can have a stable more problem free phone i would like to get a droid 2 global or a my side kick 4g
p.s witch phone is better side kick or droid 2 global
if you really like to taste a lot of roms and have the latest builds i think ill choose somethink like nexus s or galaxy nexus, they are google phones, so they will get the latest updates.
Hmmm the best is the HTC HD2. It get everything fast

I don't know that quantity is better then quality. ROMS for thunderbolt seem as solid as the phone itself.
HTC Thunderbolt running MIUI
EVO has a lot of roms and good quality ones

Agreed with nightcrawler, solid roms there as well.

[DISCUSSION] POST YOUR FAVORITE PHONE OF ALL TIME and/or CURRENTLY

I haven't owned many phones. Although, my first Android phone was an HTC HD2. Now I have a Nexus One, with a broken power button and I cant have much fun with testing ROMs with it, as I did with my Leo. My Leo broke, which is WHY I have a Nexus One -____-
SO IM CURIOUS WHAT ARE PEOPLE'S FAVORITE PHONE(S).
LONG LIVE LEO!!
I would have to say the Epic 4G, the original with a physical keyboard. With CM9 this phone is great and I do not regret buying at all.
Seems like a great phone, i would totally use it if i had sprint. Thanks!
now im using galaxy gio, nice phone, nice camera and worhted to buy
just in my opinion
Seems like it has some great development as well. Thanks for sharing!
using Galaxy Nexus , this is the best phone that i have ever seen
For this moment it is HTC Desire, always up to date and very good design and reactivity
Right now I'd have to say the HTC Sensation XE. It's my current phone and I did quite some comparing before I bought it. But with what I see coming the next years, I think my next phone will become by then-all-time-favorite and so on.
Isn't HTC HD2 a Windows mobile phone. It's not Android.

Using the HTC EVO 4G, currently running the Energy SensationXL Sense 3.5 with Anthrax Kernel and flashed it to MetroPCS.
The only thing I can't get working is my mms, hopefully to have it fixed soon.
Galaxy Nexus smooth design and a google support with all android updates

buy Samsung Galaxy S
I have the first Samsung Galaxy S i9000m and I put Miui ICS on it. Blows my mind how much faster and nicer my 2 year old phone runs and looks.
Okay if u r in india then There is a tab called micromax funbook which runs on ICS and costs just RS 7500. Heard that u have a galaxy r(you can install custom ICS rom in it and if u wait it will get a ics stock rom update).Other then that there is no phone in india that runs ics on a phone costing less than RS 10000!!

New phone suggestions

Hi folks,
I have been using my HTC desire s for the past 1 Year and em feeling a lot intimate with it. recently my screen got cracked and so I plan on getting a new mobile, after a big walk around the forums I found HTC sensation and Galaxy s2 are the ones having a good feedback and also fits my budget. Now em in a duo of which one to select I like htc sense ui a lot but Samsung is well known for its source code release stuff (I'm a flashalcholic). Please suggest me a good mobile my budget is 400 to 450 usd (max 25000 INR)

EVO
I'm a lil baised but the EVO 3D or the 4G LTE seem really good but I've also heard the Samsung Galaxy S2 or S3 are both great devices and all of those are in your price range.
Ive had the htc sensation and the galaxy s3 not the s2 but me personally i would go with the samsung galaxy s2 seems to be alot of development for both phones but the s2 being more popular would have more devolopment with newer roms in the future i would think. Plus the screen on the galaxy is s2 is better then the sensation in my opinion
HTC One X
Sensation and S2 are both old phones. Or a Galaxy Nexus, much cheaper choice.

Why not galaxy nexus? It's in your budget, actually cheaper. And probably better than HTC sensation or Samsung galaxy s 3

I just compared Galaxy s2 and s3 and I can say that the new Galaxy s3 very sensitive sensors. Highly recommended!
Govern. ningeve
Galaxy Nexus. You will have much better and prolonged support with it.
S3 as it is one of the best devices at the moment with very strong spcs. However galaxy nexus is also a very strong device. It like i9100. ( little weaker) but as it from google sources, it 'll get every new software update. Don't forget that nexus s has jellybean 4.1 and galaxy s (i9000,9001,9003,9030) gingerbread 2.3.6!!!!!!!
