I'm starting to get bored with my tablet, been thinking of getting a real small normal phone like the nexus,
Anyone also feeling the inconvenience of having a tablet phone?

Ditto here.I am eyeing at the HTC One V for normal android use.And my P6200 can be used for when the single core processor of the One is not enough and for surfing the interwebz when iam at home.
though i don't really use my P6200 as my main phone i use it more for 3G connectivity when i'm out..
I kinda miss my HTC wildfire S when i don't want to carry my tab around..
I would surely miss my long batt life with p6200 though

Does the Sony SmartWatch work with our tab? Specifically the 6200. I want to interact with it sometimes with just the watch, e.g. Tab on the bag and etc. I think it's fun. Lol.
I would miss my new tab. Sold a iPod Touch for this little bad boy. Love it so far, but I am only using it for simple tasks.
Facebook, iHeartRadiom, Skype and Angry Birds LOL
I have been researching and I don't think there is an android phone with the smoothness , batt life , GPU speed etc that can compare with our tablet,
Except HTC one, but still it fails in batt life.

Yeah I do leave my tab at home nowadays, too lazy to carry it along everytime I go out. I just usually bring my Blackberry when I go out for simple stuff. I wouldn't ever want to sell this tab to replace it with an android phone. Though there are quad core phones and all, I still don't feel the satisfaction of playing games or surfing the web on a smaller screen. Also, I use my tab to type documents for work, which would be quite a hassle doing on a phone. Overall, I think someday I might buy myself an android phone again replacing my old Galaxy Ace that I sold to buy this tab, but I'll never sell this tab. It never hurts having a lot of devices right?

I got rid of my cell phone and ever since i got the tab i decided there was really no need for any type of android phone.... I have been getting bored with it and dont use it as much but i use it everyday for free texting wifi and alarms notes for class and internet surfing. . I personally wouldnt get a phone because you wilo miss your tablet most definitly

I have the Nexus as well, it's really far too big for my hands. I can't text with one hand,
Personally I'd like something the size of the Wildfire with all the goodness of the Nexus.

Do you have other things to say about the nexus ? Is it worth getting rid of the tab?

I've been using an iphone for years now and I sick of IOS and its lack of usefulness IMO.
Anyways I'm looking to switch soon to andriod any suggestions on phones or manufacturers? I have heard from a friend that HTC is the best for rooting is this true? I'd like to root my phone so I dont want to end up with a phone that is locked down.
I am currently looking at the samsung Galaxy S II, Driod Bionic and HTC thunderbolt. Though I hear the driod bionic may not be rootable? Any other suggestions?
I'm open to service providers though I am looking at verizon right now.
Sorry if this has been asked before I tried to search but didnt find anything.
I'm starting to research now so any help would be appreciated and any website suggestions would be awesome too.
Thanks for the help!!
Get samsung galaxy s2 my friend has it and I can tell you its bloody fast i'd say as much as the iphone no laggs between screens animations very nice looking! Even front facing camera.

HTC evo is very good. Anything from HTC for that matter
+1
HTC is the way to go. Samsung is cheaply made.

Samaung galaxy s 2 is on the top of my list

The galaxy s2 is a nice one on paper, I haven't tried it myself but I believe it would be good. I wasn't a fan of the original galaxy s though, it felt very cheap and the touch screen wasn't as good as the htc's. I used the htc desire and really liked that one, htc makes some brilliant phones, that feel well-built, well programmed and really stand out when you actually use them.
I think either the galaxy s2 or a htc phone would be good, I'm liking the look of the HTC sensation myself. If you're looking for a dual core like those though, I believe it would be best to wait it out for a while and see how the development goes for them.
thanks for all the suggestions how are samsung phones for rooting? or does it all depend on the development community picking up the phones?
no problem at all with rooting, personally i would suggest you'll get a fully customized rom for your phone - these are much faster than the stock firmware and rooted by default...
For google, make the Maps 5 with navigation to be available completely offline, like you can do with OVI Maps in nokia.
My friend is speaking in my ear that GS2 is way better than Xoom, I tell him no, another friend (Galaxy S2, Xperia X10 and iPad 2 user/ passive Xoom user because I let him use) tell no too, so let's proof my friend he is wrong.
He says the awesome ppl says that, but no one is more awesome than XDA, so please post here with your opinion and why

How do you compare a tablet to a phone? I'm seeing apples and oranges here.

I agree, what is better for you depends on your need. I have both, and find the xoom more indispensable and definitely better for web surfing, email, calendar work, and the periodic movie. You just can't beat the real estate (screen size). If phone calls or texting are top priority, then SGS2 is your choice. It is a great phone and I love it, but the screen is too small for heavy work. If you need everything and truly must rely on one device, I'd recommend the international version of the samsung note. I'm actually waiting on one that will replace my SGS2... just want more screen to make it more useful. The international version has the same internal hardware as the SGS2, and is nearly as fast (a bit slower due to pushing more pixels).
Nokia 3100. Don't even look at anything else, its the best by far.

Like someone else said it's hard to compare a tablet to a phone because they each have some functionality
So I have the decision of getting either a nexus 7 tablet or a international version of the galaxy s3. I have 250 cash to buy the nexus 7, and for the galaxy s3 i would have to trade my galaxy nexus and $200 cash. Do you guys think I should keep my galaxy nexus and get the tablet, or should i trade my current phone + $200 for a galaxy s3? I do have a good laptop but its 15in so that's why I am undecided on what I should go for. Help me out guys!
IMO, get the s3 because you will get more joy out of it than a tablet and like you said, you have a good laptop so you don't need a tablet.
Sent from Failtrix.
I agree, go buy the S3, its a better choice.
Why would You want to have to carry with You 2 devices all the time (and the Tablet is not as small as a Phone is), when You can have one very good phone?
Take the S3 mate!
thanks for the input guy, i am leaning towards the s3
Buy the Galaxy S3 .
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda premium
go for s3
Go for the phone, the tablet will just feel like a bigger version of your phone considering they'd both be running the same OS. Not much of a big leap in screen size a larger tablet would be better.

i suggest you to buy a s3 if you like feautures on your hand ...but if you want the taste of jellybean immedietly go there....but i tell you will not use it as the way your gonna use your s3

I would keep my Nexus and buy a Tablet
for me... i will choose galaxy s3
S3 for sure
S3 because it can replace camera and handycam.Nexus 7 can't..
It looks like the S3 is the better choice, but the thing is there aren't many i9300's S3s in my area, mostly just AT&T versions. How do those two compare? Battery wise, speed, etc.
I've got both and I use them for very different things. So if you can afford it I'd recommend both of them.

what do you use your nexus 7 for? If i get it I think my main use for it would be reading digital comics and probably watching videos on my bed. Both which I do pretty often.

That's pretty much it. Which is why I'll upgrade the Nexus 7 to the ten inch when it comes out, most likely. Comics don't play well on the SGS3, nor do subtitled movies. Oh, and 3D games seem to work better on the Nexus 7 than on the phone.
Galaxy S3
Galaxy s3 for me way better. if you get it try to rooted and get you a great pimped custom rom for it and enjoy it :highfive:
Hope you decided
Hi guys.
I am about to purchase another Android tablet, after getting over my thing for phones and having a million of them, I've decided to settle with my Desire S as my phone ( Sold my S3 ) and just keep to using a tablet as it's so much easier for emailing, web stuff ect ect.
I had a iPad mini, but I HATED IOS so I sold that POS to.
Can someone please recommend me a Android Tablet that will solve all my "wants" please?
1 Main requirement is it must have 3G, I don't care about how many GB as I have my own 64GB SD card.
I checked out the "Asus Nexus 7" And it looks good for it's price range, but don't know how old they are now and what's new.
Chuck me a few options guys :silly::good:

I have a Sony Xperia S and is very good...liked it!!!!
After having the s1, s2, s3 and now s4 also a note 2 i have come to the conclusion i hate samsung and their money grabbing and lack of support. This has been an issue across all the phones iv had from them. My current s4 heats up all the time so much lag across the various dynamics of the phone. And i havent even rooted this phone for a change.
Ive decided to give the htc one a shot. I wont change from android to ios dont like it.
See you all around the forums guys.

Why don't you just install GE? After installing stock Android I couldn't be happier with my phone (screen is gorgeous and performance is great). :good: HTC One is also a great phone, but if I were you I'd just make do with the GE rom for now and then switch to the Nexus 5 in a month or so.
Adios

Of course heats is a big problem!
but you should try uninstall Chrome and S voice.
Also i suggest u use a third party rom
that will be much better!!
Ive been through the latter of various roms and kernals but decided to stay stock with the s4 and man have i noticed the bloat slowing things down. But yeah dude the heat was enough for me to call my carrier explain the issue and they were more than happy to replace like for like or i could completly change so the htc had my attention.
I know nexus 5 is due but iv never been a big fan of standalone roms from the GE variants i do enjoy some bloat apps to which i genuinely use. But sammybhas just gotten too big for their boots in my opinion so im jumping ship so to speak lol. I had the choice of note 3 but do i really want spend an uneccesary £100 for the latest smartphone which is from Samsung yet again. Too many variants and not enough support.
Il always be milling around various forums the s2 s3 and note 2 are still in action running custom roms wife and kids totally unaware of course :screwy: but my time is done cheers guys for those i have made friends with in the sammy forums.

I did the same thing you did and jumped ship to the htc one and dont get me wrong I love the One awesome built and its fast but I didnt like it...
Camera sucks, I had light leak on my second replacement device after the first one had a bad battery, bad battery life I can barely make it to 4:30 pm from 8 am, dead and stuck pixels on the new one after about a week of use and thats all I can remember for now but needless to say I am happily back with another s4 and soon to have a note 3
I hope the HTC suits your needs better. It's a beautiful device!

OMG ! 5 guys aren't happy with their S4s. What is Samsung gonna do . Jokes aside, the overheat issue is a genuine issue. But somehow I don't have this overheating issue anymore after updating to latest firmware. My lag is minimal now. Works smoother than gs3 and note 2.

Anyway last post from me on the S4 side of XDA......
And yeah i suppose most phones suffer from heat disappation from moderate to heavy usage but in my case light usage wasnt good enough. Il prob notice it with an alu case but at least it wont be a sammy casing for a change. We will see i guesd
