and what about automatic data loss? and battery backup?

I havn't met automatic data loss yet. I bought my i9003 on 2011.10.1.
But if I were you I would get an GS II(i9100) now.

al depends on budget

Well Get i9000 instead.....(Most recommended)
U can also try Galaxy s+, galaxy S advance......
^^^
All three are same models externally.....just the CPU,Chipset,GPU,RAM and Display Differ.........
Again i9000 (sada galaxy S) is the most recommended Since it gets the most Attention...both from Samsung and Devs.....and super-amoled has better battery life than S-LCD's......

Buy a Galaxy i9000 or a Nexus Phone... Best Roms for them and great Developer support.

I'll recommend Xperia Neo V (I have both phones) for the following reasons:
1. Samsung Service and hardware sucks (too many issues just check the forum)
2. SL has no official support for ICS.
3. Limited ROMs for SL.
4. Neo V is faster/smoother as per my experience.
5. No notification LED on SL.
6. Neo V is cheaper with a better SOC.
But, Galaxy SL is easier to mod as compared to Neo V (requires unlocked bootloader, an easy procedure).

Sl is the best in its range..
I ve been using it for almost an year.. til now no problem
Battery backup would be better than ace.
Don't think of xperia u..
Its useless. It has only 4gb internal memory and no external memory card support.

I would recommend against it. The phone is at the end of its support cycle.

how about experia sola...! I have.seen its specs. Looks really good & most imp it has ICS support. Its a fact our phone is just ok kind of phone which has very low kind of development. If I get a chance then I will replace my phone with 1 year old samsung galaxy nexus phone which has very vast developmrnt.

Xperia U or Galaxy S Advance ?

Hi
I got some questilom as Iphone user I dont know anything about android. Started to learn something 2 days ago
Going to buy a new phone but cant decide.
I hate big screens and stuffs like that so my decision is down to :
Xperia U
Galaxy S Advance
Ace2 ( cant cause still waiting to hit italy market )
On this forum they spoke very good of Xperia U vs Ace2.
Anyway, the list of question is long :-D
1 ) A friend of mine told me that every phone that isnt from google sucks cause of lack of fast support and upgrades of android that takes months while google its out asap.
Those 2 phones are okay ?
2 ) What u would suggest between xperia U and Galaxy S Advance, and reasons. Its worth 140 euro more cost the Galaxy S Advance ?
3 ) Both can be upgrade easily to Android 4.0 or I need to be skilled in that ?
4 ) About hacking stuffs etc those phones are good and supported by comunity ? Cause cant find any forum for them and makes me scared
thanks a lot for your time, i hope to be an active part of this comunity soon

any feeedback pls ? gotta buy 1 soon

Galaxy S Advance over Xperia U:
• 768 MB RAM
• Slimmer
• Support SD card
• 4" TFT Super AMOLED
• Bluetooth v3.0
• Gorilla Glass display
Xperia U over Galaxy S Advance:
• Sony Mobile BRAVIA Engine
• Sony 3D surround sound audio technology
• USB On-the-go support
Better Samsung Galaxy S Advance.

thanks a lot for the reply, but those points I got them also from reviews online.
I'm more interested in other questions .

1. I think those 2 phone are okay.
2. Sony planned upgrade to v4.0 for Xperia U. No info about Galaxy S Advance, but you should wait for custom ROM.
3. I think Galaxy S Advance will soon supported by comunity. Not sure about Xperia U.

ouch so if I buy it tomorrow I have a phone with gingerbread still on , till a future upgrade -.-

Take a look at xperia Sola and P too. Those are similar in price to Advance (I'm not sure, we don't have Advance in market yet) and are better spec-wise than Xperia U. And none of them are huge, Xperia P is 4" like Advance, more RAM, better camera but worse display (I think, Advance is Super AMOLED while P is TFT, but I'm not sure how noticeable it actually is in person. Some people say P is actually better.), Advance has better replaceable battery and SD card slot.
I have no idea how the support from moders will look. I'm thinking about Advance too, but it's not top of the line phone, merely an upgrade to Galaxy S and as such it might not get any custom ROMs whatsoever. Or it might.

well i gone to the mall and saw they havent xperia U but advanced galaxy S its at 339 while Samsung nexus galaxy its at 399
I think gonna take the nexus then, seems so much better

Yes, for this price, you should get the nexus i guess.

New phone or Tab-Suggest me NON biased means!

Hi everyone..
Been with smartphones pretty long and lasty Im using Galaxy S2.
For several reasons I want to change it or possibly upgrade. First is My eye has an issue followed up that my tears do not generate fast to refresh the eyes, so i gotta leave my work on pc for long , and for that alternatives are mobile for internet etc. and 2ndly im a big tired of the galaxy series for deisgn and everything else.
What I need it to be uses is:
Cool Music Support, since im a pro musician
Internet support
Often camera usage
Few vdo
Few gaming
and good speed
modding aspects
Moderate battery probable is full 1 day.
I was checking on the recent phones, I was always with ericsson before...and I found:
xperia s,Acro S,Xperia SL and the new upcoming T, also the ION.
ION and Xperia SL seems to be very low moding aspects?
Also the HTC one x and x+ but they seem to have battery issues?
And The Lg optimus 4x hd
I was also taking a look for tabs, specially the samsung tab 2 both 7 and 10 inches, but the processors seem to be a low ?
My budget is about 550 usd...
Please give me your valauable suggestions in general i have been chking all of them about 1 month gotta decide and get one by tomorrow.
Thanks all!

Need a new phone!

Hey members of XDA,
I wanted your help in buying me a phone. I'm currently using my nexus prime and xperia mini. So, i want to replace mini with a phone within 300$ or about Rs. 16k. Helps would be appreciated :victory:

At that price the best you“ll find here in India is the Galaxy Nexus that too only via unofficial sources.
You can also have a look at Optimus L9 or Samsung Galaxy S Advance.

Or an atrix2 by motorola. ( I'm not sure if it's still available). If you are into the custom kernel and stuff, ignore this. It's completely locked. But development is going on with same stock KERNEL.

I Was suggesting him according to his budget.
We don't have contracts here in India, so we pay full money like you would of you bought an unlocked version.
And s4 would cost nothing less than 35k INR (700$).

I do believe the Nexus Prime was the Galaxy Nexus before the official announcement.
For 300 dollars you could probably get something like a Galaxy S2 or a HTC sensation

Well i don't want another nexus as i have a prime. So, earlier when i was on low budget i thought about going for xperia j or sola or HTC sesire X. But now as i have an increased budget i was looking for the xperia s or the sl. Galaxy s2 is a bit outdated ( no offense ) And as for s3 it's quiet expensive for my budget ( being around 30k ) and as for s4 it's gonna be around 35k-40k. Which is an outrageous amount for a 10th standard student like me :crying:
Thanks for the replies :good:

Go for a Xiaomi Mi2.

With 300$, I think you should buy Xperia S

Arc S for sure

Arc s isn't getting a jb update whereas xperia s is. So i might go for s or p!

1) Jelly Bean update!! The most important thing! I'm so annoyed by flashing JB roms on my current devices. So many bugs but still developers are working hard on these roms.
2) Camera. I need a camera capable of doing Full HD recording.
3) GPU to play games like RR3, MC4 or Nova 3.
4) Battery Backup. I currently last about 9-10 Hours with the way i use my device. I'm constantly on whatsapp and Kik!
5) Screen size is not an issue but above 3.5 inches.
Thanks for the replies

[Q] Buying the best option possible within my budget

Hello all,
As my old Xperia X8 curently rests in peace I have the chance to buy a new smartphone device. The thing is that as a college freshman my budget is as low as it gets, so the purpose of this post is that you guys, the elite of the net when it comes to smartphones, could help me choose wisely.
My goal is to find a smartphone that I can find here in my homeland (Greece to be particular) or could order from abroad, that wouldn't cost more that 130-145 € (shipping included or low enough if possible).
What I'm looking for mainly is a fast processor with good ram capacity that whouldn't let me down at multitasking, web browsing, app executing etc.To be percise, what I'm looking for is the best and fastest processor/ram combination I can find within that budget.
From there on, my preferences focus on the camera,wifi capabilities (speed and range), screen size and looks/styling with that particular order.
My manufactor preferences are Samsung and Sony of course. But if any other mobile manufactor has what I'm looking for I would be glad to take a look.
I myself have made a small research on possible devices I could buy. Unfortunately I am not a phone specialist.I'm far from it, (although I would like to get there one day hopefully) so these are some devices I came up with during a quick search at a greek online store:
http://www.skroutz.gr/c/40/kinhta-t....html?order_dir=asc&price_max=150&price_min=0
If you cannot open the link for some reason, or if you just don't wanna, the devices are:
Samsung Galaxy Ace 2
Sony Xperia M
Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2 (S7582)
Samsung Galaxy Core I8260
Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus 3G
All of the above are within my budget.I lean towards xperia m because from reviews i found online it seems to have the best cpu performance from those 5, it's the only xperia sooo and because I never owned a samsung before so i don't know how it would feel yet.
So please guys if you can, suggest me the best option from these 5 or a better one that you can come up with that follows those requirements I listed above.Your help is really important to me and I would be really greatful to you if you had time to devote to my silly requests.

You should definitely go for Motorola Moto G because it comes with Kitkat out of the box and Specs are truly awesome, Camera is pretty good too.. on the other hand HTC desire x is a pretty out dated phone , and 601 may be a nice choice but Moto G offers more in Less price ..

Lenovo!!!!

there more buying sites .. Like antealife inthebox and and and ..
This is no advertisment! Andthere also other lenovo phons with great spec. And good price.

I've been a big Samsung Fan, but somehow it has changed in the last few months. I'd take the Sony, it looks better and is not a "everybody has got it- samsung"

honestly the moto g is my no1 preference but as i told you i couldn't find it cheaper than 195 euros.I found it on sites abroad but the shipping and taxes would raise the price to the same level. If anyone could advise me on how to obtain it in a cheaper price like the US and India ones that would be awesome!!!!

it's like you're asking me to spend my money for half a year of use, maximum! I'm a poor student, not a naive Richy McRich!

I personally don't think Xperia is worth it's price. It has a lot of issues with it's software from my and other people I know's experience. So... I'd recommend anything else but the Sony Xperia brand.

Based on your list, I would chose the xperia m !
