[Q] Which AT&T Smartphone Should I get for Christmas.

I need to upgrade my current phone and I was wondering what any of you recommended if you have any experience with the windows phone 7 phones vs. their android models. I'm 16, I text a lott it's probably what I use my phone for most and swype is a godsend for me, but I need an mp3 player really badly and I would like my phone to function as one as well, also I want to get a nice case for it so that if I drop it a few times it doesn't break. I tested out the captivate for a week and it was amazing, but I'm into changing the roms and all that fancy stuff so if I did get a windows phone 7 do they have the ability to put android on it and vise-versa, is windows mobile 7 laggy like windows mobil 6.5 on my old fuze?
Some models I'm specifically looking at are the HTC Surround (win mo7), Samsung Captivate, Samsung Focus, LG quantam.
I can get each phone for about $150 so price isn't really an issue.

Guess it really depends... Have you been naughty or nice this year?
If you absolutely have to have swype, go for the captivate. WP7 doesn't have it and there's no indication that it will in the future as of yet. It is really easy to type on the Focus's screen (doing it right now), but if you really like swype, that's where you're at.
The Zune software in WP7 is great for playing mp3's. Don't really know what Android has, but I can say that the Zune software is nice.
No, WP7 hasn't been cracked open to flash custom roms, or run Android. If you really wanna do things like that, go for the captivate. However, as ardent a flasher as I have been with my Tilt2, it was all to get it to run right. WP7 is effortlessly fast right out of the box. The captivate needs to be tweaked to remove the lag and stutters. There is no lag on my Focus.
Merry Christmas!

I'm going to the AT&T store today, I'll probably test demo both of the samsungs and make my decision in there.

go for an iphone 4. at&t and iphone 4 works well together.

I'd go for a Focus. The new Motorola phone looks really nice too and its cheaper, mid-pack. I forget what it's called though.

Go for samsung captivate.

I have both an iphone 4, and a captivate.
If you want something thats going to work perfect out of the box get the iphone 4 and an ottorbox case.
If you want a real phone, get the captivate.

Samsung Captivate
MP3/Music: The 5.1 stereo in the built in music player sounds really good. The music player that comes with the stock Captivate is comparable to any of the music player apps you'll find.
For texting, you'll probably want to install SMS Popup, or Handscent.
It takes great pictures and video - BUT has no built in flash.
Mine is rooted, OCLF lag fix, and hacked for sideloading apps. Also Titanium Backup on a rooted device will allow you to remove the AT&T bloatware. (I recommend freezing apps for a week before removing them - just in case other apps are dependent on them)
I really love my Captivate. I might be a lucky one because I've never had any GPS lock problem, random shutdown problem etc that many others have complained about. Mine runs EXCELLENT!

My question is Why are you going for AT & T specifically? Why not Verizon or any other?

Walmart's got the captivate for $69 with your contract.

That's the same price my little brother told me they are in stores. That price I listed was for online. Either way, lot of phone for that price I'd say.
And I also noticed that ATT sells refurbs for $10, but are out of stock.

Call At&t 611. They have different stock than the website and usually have the phone you want when the website sells out. Prices may be.different though.

[Q] What to do with old phone?

Alright, I recently upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100T and was immensely impressed. I had the option of getting a Galaxy S3, but it looked abit ugly in my opinion
What's happened now, is that I have a spare Acer Liquid Metal that I use as a door-stopper and paperweight. I was wondering, is there anything cool that I can do with it apart from selling it?
It doesn't have too high specs, after all, I did get it for $128 AUD. The basic specs are the following:
-800Mhz Single Core Scorpion
-Adreno 205 GPU
-800x480 screen
On top of that, it's rooted and has t&l metal 2.3.6 with TechnoLover's kernel running on top of that.
Comment on what you think I'd be able to do with it, thanks

i will be sell it and change other one or bue a new phone

you can give those who need a phone or you can deal with it as a second hand

You can use it as an android Touch.

Try a website like gazelle.com
Or recycle it at a Staples or Best Buy

There are also a lot of devs that can use old phones as test platforms when developing apps. I'd recommend finding some projects you'd like to support and ask the dev if they'd like to have your old phone for testing on.

Consider converting it into an mobile audio player
I loaded up an old smartphone with mp3 files, including music and audiobooks, and paired it with a motorola roadster portable speaker (around $50-$70). I then dropped my satellite radio subscription, so now, when I'm out and about, I'm able to listen to just the music I want to hear, with no commercials, come-ons, or monthly fees - including data overage fees resulting from streaming content from the internet. I originally stopped using the smartphone because it was a lousy phone. Makes a very good in-car audio player, though.

sure you l get a buyer ..not one....................... more guys are rushing for an android cell......:good::laugh:

use it as a universal remote for a media centre

Sell it, or donation it to a project you will could use it , you could install linux on it and get a full pocket computer! (See my project in sig) or use it as some form of controller if you have devices that can use it (many smart devices etc support this)

Sell it would be best unless you wan to save it for a spare! The price shld fetch you some accessories or something for your current phone!

just sell it. simple solution

Sell it on ebay

Root it, put an awesome rom on it, install all your apps and stuff you use regularly and keep it as a back up phone. You never know when yours will break or go missing, its ALWAYS a good idea to have a back up phone that already has all your stuff on it... Good rule of thumb would be to add any new apps and phone numbers to this phone once a month, just in case. You may need to run somewhere while flashing a new rom to your GSII, so you can just throw your sim in this phone and your good to go! So my vote says keep it as a backup.

I always keep a spare device or two, just in case something goes wrong in my primary device. Also, I can lent it to friends in need of a cellphone until they get a new.

i would sell it as well..

New phone, help?

ok iI need some suggestions from people that actually know what they are talking about rather that reading some top 10 best blog on the web. I'm in the market for a New phone (Verizon) to replace my Droid Bionic. sound clarity is a must, fast processor dual or quad? big screen and rootable with decent Rom dev support.
Basically the phone is used for mainly business type apps, remote desktop, vpn etc. keeping up with my eBay bids bank balances on the go and just tinkering with the new roms and apps the devs entertained with. II do have aa couple of tablets (Asus Tf300t and aa galaxy tab 2 7") so the main priority for the phone is that it should work excellent as a phone. Clear, good signal reception, and good hands free operation (speaker phone, Bluetooth etc). aa large sd capacity also... iI know when iI got my last phone 16gg was almost standard but 32gg would be better
oh, also aa decent camera, I'm kinda a shutter-bug
so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, then iI can take your suggestions and do some in depth research and make an informed choice.
thank you for your time
ignore the errors, using Swype and it messes up a lot of words

With the criteria you are going for I would suggest a HTC one X or a SGSIII which I am currently using. Sorry if my suggestions are bad I'm new to this as well.

rhe galaxy nexus is the best for you...it is easy to use verry fast in update and has a very decent 5 megapxl camera which act like 8+ mega pxl because of its quality...it has no shutter lag the time you oress the button the time it takes goodluck

I agree
I have to agree with you on the Galaxy Nexus. Apart from all the features you've mentioned, its also a google designed and supported phone so it is supported and kept up by google meaning you have priority access to all new android OS releases

hi aaxiss! i've a galaxy nexus, and i advice you to buy it. you know google product=full supported :fingers-crossed: and olso devs start developing from it, so you have more rom, and stable first of all, to try i wish you have a good choose

Nexus or the SGSIII, SGSIII had bags of power

A decision has been made for you by these guys, of course including me :laugh: galaxy nexus

I have a galaxy Nexus and it's been a pretty dam good phone for the past 7 mouths. But since I loaded Jelly Bean 4.1.1 it's been a really great phone! Supper fast and smooth. So for the price I don't think you can beet it.

thank you everyone for your input, II have ordered the Gnex today ended up getting 2 of them for 99.00 ii have my mom on my acct an age has wanted aa smart phone for aa long time. ii have her an older moto droid xx and kept both new phones so ii can play around without worry. ii just flashed the droid back to base rom. if she really gets into it I'll get her aa better phone.
Although she is already complaining it's hard for her to read the tiny letters [email protected] the learning curve for her is going to be long I'm thinking. she has had the same Motorola flip phone for 4 years and just learned how to put it on speaker phone aa month ago lol.
any way.. thanks again for the help
oh as a side note ii also ordered aa Google nexus 7 tablet today for on the go android goodness as my transformer is just too big and bulky and it also has aa broken power button (stopped working after it got aa glass of water spoiled on it).

got my phones yesterday. just what ii wanted great phone.thanks again for the suggestions

If you are going to tinker with ROMs, Galaxy Nexus is the best choice. It is a Google flagship product, so it is used as a base for development of the new versions of Android. That is a guarantee of staying always up to date with new AOSP ROMs - and, surely, of the best support possible from the development community.
Regards.

Sim card or data plan N8000

Just ordered an N8000 and was wondering if I should pay $10 a mo for data or add a line, get and sell the phone (note 2 probably) and use the device as a phone/tablet for $30 a mo instead of $10. We have a 15 gig family share plan and just figured I'd ask the general consensus. I wanted a 3g tablet but this thing sounds sweet. How are the antutu scores?
Sent from my Black Jelly I747 by graffixnyc theme by wanam ported and tweaked by David Dee

I make and receive calls on my n8000. Do yourself a favour though, get yourself the bluetooth stylus... much easier to talk with, keep in pocket like a pen and it vibrates when calls come in. Much nicer than using speakers that provide no privacy and better than wearing a BT headset around.
Sounds like you're from America. Can't comment on how things are over there as I come from Australia but it works fine, calls are clear and sound quality is good. Just depends if you want to walk around with 2 devices...

well if you are comfortable with carrying note whereever u go like a cell and also with using some sort of handsfree then yes you can go ahead

I'll still have my phone but for $20 more a month I can use it as a phone as well. I could even forward my phone if I want.
Sent from my Black Jelly I747 by graffixnyc theme by wanam ported and tweaked by David Dee

Yes you can forward calls but you cannot make calls again even if you have BT stylus you will need to use a 10 inch device everytime to dial a call so its something that is not normal way or which we are used.
I suggest try for few days and see if it works for you

Only reason I went with the 3g version was so if I was at my son's baseball games, I wouldn't need my phone for tethering and calls, our can all be done on the tablet using my Bluetooth devices I use currently.

Would you recommend the tab 2 7"or the nexus 7?

I'm in the market for a 7 inch tablet. I've narrowed it down between the two. I've done a lot of research, and wanted to know your opinion. I know the nexus has the better processor, better resolution, and better os support. It doesn't have an ir blaster. I want to be able to use it to control my home entertainment setup. Does it work will with the tab 2? Thoughts?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium

I had this same question when these were still new. I chose the Gtab2 based on local availability and the included SDcard slot. I probably should have purchased the Nexus based off of better overall hardware and "real" updates. Touch Wiz blows and I got rid of it almost right away. Which then rendered the ir blaster worthless which actually worked well for me with the Peal app. There are some Roms available that have been customized and still have a functioning IR blaster but I haven't tried those yet and from what I've seen probably won't.
With that being said, I don't pay any attention to what is thought of being obsolete. Everything I own is obsolete. I'm sure its the same with most people. In spite of my growing annoyance with Android in general I'd say that my GTab2 running PacRom 4.2.2 is going quite well.
Gotta choose what fits your needs. There's enough differences between the two tabs that makes this decision a no brainer once you decide what your device needs to do. Now you got me thinking I may go buy a Nexus 7 and flash this tab back to stock to use as just a remote and maybe some lite surfing. With my theatre setup Peel can eliminate 5 remotes just in one room

Thank you for your input. I know the nexus is probably the better choice as far as hardware goes, but I really want the ir blaster to control my living room. I already have a Logitech harmony to control, but I think a tablet would be much cooler, and more practical. I have a lot of components (computer, ps3, cable, network receiver, and a Wii) I hate touchwiz, but there are other launchers I can use. Does the tab 2 work as a remote well? Can you program it to do one touch commands? (As in hit one button, and have all the associated peripherals turn on and to the correct input)?

I wish I could give you more info on Peel. But I didn't spend much time with it. Day one while I was getting familiar with the tab I had only gone as far as getting everything to turn on and off. I was impressed with that because many reviews complained that the app didn't support the equipment they had but it seemed to support everything I have which is a mix of brands and quality levels. With that being said I don't remember having any issues using it as a remote. Not like some I've had years ago that need to be aimed like shooting at a target and I do remember being able to turn on all my gear with one button. Except the PS3. For the PS3 I used an app called BlueputDroid which turns your device into a keyboard or six axis controller.
I agree a tablet makes for one cool remote control but unlike most remotes you will need a outlet handy. Still very much worth it by getting rid of multiple remotes or at least being able go hide them away for all but the most rarely used functions. Keep in mind the device is not pretty but its not ugly either. The screen isn't going to blow you away but it won't make you want to puke. It won't win any benchmarks but it seems to handle everything I throw at it.

Well, I went ahead and pulled the trigger. I have it setup to control most of my components, but I still need to play with the settings. I'm not really impressed yet with the peel app, but I haven't given it enough time to figure it out. The tab 2 is a little sluggish, but nothing a root and custom rom can't fix. That's next on the list. I really appreciate your comments though.

Very few custom ROMs support ir blaster, I've found that the ones that do are more buggy than stock, which is what they are based off. To be honest, i also wasn't impressed with peel, always had issues, so i haven't been on stock or stock based in som e time.

i haven't experienced Nexus 7, my girlfriend got me my Galaxy Tab 2. i must say that i've spent literally hours and hours of my life with this sh*t.
do not waste your time and money, get the Nexus 32gb and do not deal with this microSd slot ****.
first it wouldn't let you use the 32Gb for everything, so you have to do a "swap" so you can install stuf in the microSD, then the frkn sh*t has ****ed up 2 microSD's, (the 2nd one today) i won't get a nother from the store because i lied the first time saying that it wasn't working from the begining and it would be suspicious to think that i got 2 bad microSD's from factory in less than a month.
so now i must get another one :S!
do not waste your time, nexus is the one.

Home entertainment set up is better with the GTab 2 but otherwise N7 is the better one.
When it comes to quality apps and smoothness I can't recommend any of todays android tablets.

Thanks for all the input. I appreciate it. I'm not disappointed with my purchase. I knew it's not the fastest out there, but it serves it's purpose. I'm still not impressed with the remote feature. Peel just doesn't do what I want. I'd like to be able to set it up like my Logitech harmony, so one button will turn on everything to the correct input. It does this for cable tv, but I'd like it to setup all the correct inputs for my ps3, computer, and Wii. Plus, I'd like an on screen remote, not just buttons with pictures of tv shows. Can anyone recommend a better app?
Also, I also rooted, and thinking about installing the latest sungsonic, but will it stop the ir blaster from working? I know most rom's do.

There are other remote apps, but i think they cost around 50 or so, and i have never used one, perhaps someone else on here has. I wanna say someone said they liked it better, but it may have been another forum.
Just looked it up, its Samsung remote touchsquid, or something along those lines. Either way, that's a hearty price.

I was considering either the nexus 7 or tab 2 also after my kindle fire broke about 2 months ago. I ended up choosing the galaxy tab 2 due to the sd card slot, the rear camera, and the ir blaster. I personally love it and it is working great. I mainly use it for gaming, music, and youtube and it handle all of those tasks great. I love how i can store my music on an sd card which allows me to have more storage space for apps and games. It plays all the games i have tried great ( which include gta 3, dead trigger, survivalcraft, scribblenauts, mini motor racing, riptide gp, and star wars pinball, which are fairly demanding games) and video playback is great. The peel app works great and is easy to pair with your home entertainment system. With all these features and good performance i dont see the need to get a nexus 7 and i would definietly recommend the galaxy tab 2.
The tab 2 is also $20 cheaper than the nexus at the moment at $179.

The more and more I use the tab 2, the more I love it. I really appreciate the touch squid app suggestion. I have the demo downloaded, and so far, it's working great. I also have my receiver (which is network capable) setup with my tab, so I can stream pandora anywhere in the house, and have full control without being in that room. I'm currently installing zone 2 speakers outside in my patio area. Anyway, 50 bucks to spend on a remote app is a little much, but if there isn't anything else that is better, I might just bite the bullet. I'm still searching, but if anyone else has any other programs they want to suggest, I'd love to hear it.
Another side question, I know you guys said most of the roms break the ir blaster. Any way I can tell which ones will break it? I'm rooted and itching to flash one, but I need the ir blaster.

Tab2lite and microdelta(maybe haven't tested it) are the only jelly bean roms , that i know of, that have ir support. There may be some ICS stock ROMs, not sure. Personally, i would suggest trying microdelta if it works, because tab2lite is based on an early leek and was slower than stock, for me anyways.
