Hello.
I'm about to buy a new smartphone (im running Galaxy Spica right now), and I dont know what to buy..
I have a choice to buy Nexus S or Galaxy S + and I dont know which one is better for me. I am a student of computer science, and certainly I will be able to write software for Android. But I would like to record 720p videos..
Also, I found that on Nexus ICS have many problems right now..
Is there any chance for ICS on Galaxy S+?
Or maybe I should buy something else? My phone should be fast, have big screen (cuz I need to read pdf on this) also games should works fine.
I have about 250 euros.
Thanks for help
Hey there!
Which phone would you recommend to a person which wants an android phone for gaming(minecraft, gta III, asphalt), music and internet(youtube, internet radio, websites, etc.). Better the battery, better the phone. I'm probably not gonna change roms and i'm okey with locked bootloader, but I'll root the device and I would like to overclock it to get the max performace !
I've got 4 phones on my list as they are cheap.
I prefer defy's because they more resistance I think(you don't want to know what happend to my last phone )
- Motorola Defy (~180€)
- Motorola Defy+ (~200€)
- Samsung S i9000 (~200€)
- Samsung S+ i9001 (~190€)
If you have any other phone that is good, write it. My previous phone was HTC Touch Pro 2 with Android 2.2 if it would help anyone
Thanks for help
I'll go with the Samsung S i9000. It's a nice one...
What about the Defy and S+(I heard S+ was worser for gaming then S)? Do any of you had any experience with them before?

I'm planning to buy a new phone & have refined to
1. Motorola defy +
2. Sony xperia neo v
3. Htc one v
please please do help me. I would go for rooting also. As i'm not a technical person but i'm a good learner and will catch up fast.
Please skip giving me link as i've been doing this for 7 days. So please i'll need some personal advice.
I've joined this site because i found it amazing.
Please help me.
i have neo v , it looks good , but display isn't so good like galaxy s, its luminosity set to max is darker than galaxy s set to middle. This is the only think i don't like to neo v
The defy is best,just be sure to root it.

Motorola Defy+ for sure
You should choose the defy+. The specs are similar and it may not look as good as the others, the defy+ is water resistant (so you can use it when its raining and not be afraid of it breaking down) and if you accidentally drop it on the ground, the screen won't scratch a bit. This is my experience with my own MOTOROLA DEFY. But the price is one of the benefits of it being so good.
OH and also remember to root and put a custom rom on it and it will own up both of the other phones in speed tests
I have a Defy+, or at least had two. Still have one. Both the little devils were rather too fond of crashing and rebooting. To be honest I've neither rooted or loaded a custom rom which may have solved the reboot issue. That asides it's a good little phone. I took an upgrade of an HTC One S. It is bigger and better (possibly ) EXCEPT The Motorola has by far the better mobile network signal reception of the 2 phones. I would have said have a look at the One V but not so sure now? Guess they all have their issues?
if u like outdoor activity buy xperia active n it will be my second phone next season
fyi: search xperia active torture test on youtube
I have got the xperia active. An awesome phone.
But don´t forget the display is small!
HTC One V, 4GB internal memory, Video 720p,
Android OS, v4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and Beats Audio. but if you are concern about the money I would go with Motorola too, better CPU than the sony, but sony got better camera than Motorol , but still I would stick with HTC - Motorola - Sony
my first priority is looks, build & battery backup. tell me which one has better looks & real battery backup?
I strictly don't "need" a dual sim...so the second sim will always be empty in either case.Selected this as its the best available in my budget...(btw, my budget was rs.15000 but extended to rs.16000 for this phone as it seems to be a good phone for my requirements)
thought about taking htc desire v but after using my friend's desire v i dropped the idea as the touch seems to be missed by phone for a second...but otherwise its a fabulous phone too(earlier was confused b/w desire v & samsung s duos)
I've used samsung wave 3 for a day (another friend's phone) its smooth fast....but the problem is with apps & games....really couldn't find much interesting apps & games on internet.(being bada 2.0)
None of my friend has galaxy s duos so couldn't use it personally (anybody using it?give me a personal review)
I even heard wave3 is going to get tizen os (intel & samsung tie-up which will enable android apps on this phone) but samsung havn't said anything from last 6 months about confirming this...last update about tizen was a prototype phone launched to test tizen for developers. m afraid that suppose i buy wave 3 n samsung dont come up with tizen update then i would left with just the default apps(like samsung always do...they don't care about their existing consumers & come up with new to the new consumers only)
Also, tell me, i know super amoled display is better but does the tft lcd on galaxy s duos matches it so some extent?
I'm really confused. please help me?
Hello,
you propally already know that the features 'nfc.tag' and 'nfc.peer-peer' in the Gear S2 are currently not officially supported.
So I would like to know if you think that it might be possible to unlock all features (especially nfc.tag) for the Gear S2 by rooting etc.?
Or could it really be that the NFC-chip is by hardware technically unable with that?
Here is a example where unlocking NFC on the iPhone was succesful: https://www.macobserver.com/news/nfc-on-iphone-can-be-unlocked-but-should-you-care/. And here a XDA thread where someone got to unlock full NFC support on a Sony Smartwatch 3: https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch-3/orig-development/sony-smartwatch-3-nfc-support-package-t3219713
If you have an opinion I would like to know it and if you have a concrete idea it would be even better.
Thank you.
