Hey there,
I got my one s 3 months ago because of it has s4 processor. But same day i got the phone i learnt it has a s3 processor. Then i didnt give the phone back.
Anyway, for a while i am thinking to sell this phone and get a nexus. And i wonder what do you think? (There is no bad performance issues about phone btw. )
Thanks in advance.
Have a nice day.

I wouldn't get a Galaxy Nexus - however I would probably send it to your retailer and ask for an S4, since you bought the phone thinking you would get an S4. Ask for an S4. Or sell your One S, and wait for the next nexus(es)
In my country there is no s4 version so i couldn't do that but i think i will wait until new nexus. Thanks for the comment.

I wouldn't send it back. I have used the Nexus for quite a while and selled it a month ago because I wanted the One S. I really don't regrett it. I like the feel, the looks, the size and pretty much everything more then those from the Nexus. Unfortunatly there is no Cyanogenmod/ParanoidAndroid availible for the S3 version. This is the only thing I don't like about this phone. But I hope there will be in the future because more and more S3 devices get selled. Here in Germany you have to be lucky to get the S4 version (in every shop there are only the S3 versions). Maybe I'll sell it in the future and get a Nexus (if I like it), who knows...

Complain to your carrier, say you were expecting an S4 but you got an S3. Push them, and they'll give it. Or get a written confirmation from your carrier, allowing you to replace the phone by sending it to HTC and requesting an S4 processor. Sure, it is a hassle, but if you ask me it's well worth it.
I'm sort of on the same train of thought. I really do like the HTC but the development or lack of development kind of makes me want to sell it and hope that HTC will come out with a Nexus or something of the sort...
If HTC does make a nexus, it will be heavily priced.

hi everyone,
i have a quick question, i just upgraded my phone to the nexus s from sprint, they give me 13 days to return if i wanted to do that, the main reason i got this phone was for the NFC chip to be able to use google wallet, however i got it and i can't even use it becasue the prepaid card from google wallet is not working i called them and they say that the system is down and it wouln't go back on for about 2 weaks.
My question is do you guys think i should stay with this phone or i should bring it back and exchange to the galaxy s2 epic 4g?
thanks for all of your input on this.

I'd prefer a Nexus phone over anything. An unlockable bootloader if you want to flash your own ROM's and the fastest OTA's if you want to stay stock.
The only phone worth exchanging it for is the Galaxy Nexus, in my opinion. But I don't really see the need yet. The Nexus S is a great phone, even though the specs may be less astonishing than many new phones.

I think the Nexus is definitely worth keeping. It's a great size, and there is still a massive amount of developing being done. Keep it ... you won't regret it.
Gs2 will be upgraded ics soon
If you have enough money, the answer is gs2
Stick with it!

When I first got my NS4G I got bored of it quick. I was used to HTC Sense. I have almost traded it and/or sold it many times, but when it gets down to it I CANNOT part with this phone. The Nexus is one of the greatest phones. Pure Google, no Sprint or Samsung bloatware. I have learned so much with this phone.
As a S3 uesr, I am very worried about the numbers of custom ROM.
Yesterday I saw a ROM for S3 which is named BackToBasics.But dropbox is busy.
What is the difference between S3 and S4 ROM? Can we make it by ourselves?
Thanks!

You have to have development knowledge to make any rom. The S3 One S has a different chipset (duh) than the S4 One S and less users have it. ROMs are not compatible with both.
Just wait a bit s3 one s is being sold more than the s4 version so we should get more support in the future.

The S3 just got its first custom recovery a week or so ago, ROMs will come. Until HTC releases the Ville C3 with AMD K6-2 CPU in select markets in Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania and the Americas that is.
Please thank this post, if you want TrickDroid for the S3 (just want to see how many people are interested and if it's worth it)

Be sure that whole people in world will thank you for S3 rom if they knew for this post. I am from Serbia, and whole our country have S3 version.
More and more people are getting S3 version, i think that soon S3 will be much more popular than S4.

But why would you buy a phone with last generation tech in a next generation world? Unless it is a specialty phone--Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Note--you'd be better off waiting until the newer model is within your grasp.
I might be wrong, but I thought this was how most people thought when it came to technology? I imagine the anguish of people who bought the S4 model only to find out it had been replaced with an older processor when they were sent back to the factory or the anger of people who see their friends with the original model, love it, and rush out to buy it only to find they've, again, gotten the ''New and Improved'' model.
HTC's S3 model will not become more popular. It will be the reason why people leave the phone or the brand.
EDIT: I should bring up that if you have your S4 model replaced by HTC. You can call them and request that they replace the replacement with the model you originally bought.
Tbf it isn't the stock s3 cpu it has been improve with better battery life and performance so isn't as big gap as u think there is. And I have played with an s4 one s and I have the s3 and from when I played with it there was no difference between the two they did a good job with the s3 version off the phone it is the best and fastest and most smooth phone I have had I'm loving my one s s3.

I'm quite confused on that. The reason that the S4 is better isn't due to the clock settings. It's due to it being a newer 28mm platform. Improved battery life over other S3 phones doesn't mean much to me when I get 6+ hours of screen time as the average for the S4. [My latest is 9:20 hours of use]
I know this cuts both ways--I'll say this so you don't have too: ''It's the same for you''--but just because you think the S3 is fine doesn't mean other people will. The Questions section is a large showcase of this. People complaining that they got the S3 or wondering how they could tell if it was the S3. The fact--I say quite poshly--is that you're paying the same amount of money for a worse phone. Doesn't matter how big or small the gap is, you're still paying for less.
Sorry if I come off negatively, but this is something I'm quite passionate about. I believe that everyone should be given the phone that was originally released. A phone other people still get to use. For HTC to shaft my brothers of the globe is--in my eyes--a travesty.
The people who don't know the difference between the two models won't be on xda. Therefore it won't become more popular on xda. People on xda or those who do now he difference will buy the s4.

Being that S4 is indeed better, but for HTC.. there will not be a lot of S4 produced because there short on parts thus the S3 will come around more. The S4 is like experimental.. S3 tho will be more wide ranged.. I will still stick w the S4 tho... Better chips.

Hi
I'm planning to move on from my SGS 2 to a newer model.. but I'm not able to make up my mind.
I'm interested in the 4G SGS 3 though I've been thinking about the next nexus phone from LG or the upcoming HTC One X+...
My current phone is working perfectly fine but I'm looking for a phone with more speed as well as with 4G/LTE..
Should I wait it out for early next year to have better choices or should I just go in for the SGS 3?
By the way, Samsung is my preferred manufacturer, followed by HTC.. I've no idea how LG phones are in terms of build quality, support, etc.
Thanks in advance. Cheers.

Thanks.. I like the SGS3 a lot, though it's just so difficult to decide on one phone...
By the way, here in Finland, we have a deal going on for the Galaxy Nexus, with the current price of 370€ (http://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi/s?s=1&q=51397+or+23156) and is valid until next Monday 21.10 and this seems to be the best deal in Finland at the moment. The standard price is ~450€ I think...
Is there any sense is getting the Galaxy Nexus considering there are the newer Nexus devices coming up? In particular HTC “J Butterfly” Nexus 5 (along with the LG Nexus as mentioned previously)?
Thanks again. Cheers...
Edit: Also, regarding the processor, I'm no expert but from the reviews and reports, I see there are the Tegra 3 processors (like the one in HTC One X+) or the Qualcomm 'snapdragon' processors or Exynos processors and similar... Which is the better one? Should I chose a device that comes with a specific processor if I want to have a speedy, fast, high end phone?
And of course, I would like a manufacturer that regularly updates the OS without major delays whenever a new Android is being released...
Well I have the nexus, and that price is very very high. Ofcourse it is new from store but I have my nexus for 275 euro's. Second hand but only 6 month's old. Great phone but if I were you, I should wait for the gs4. Depends on how fast you need a phone, considering the gs4 is coming out in march 2013. If you can't wait I should definately buy the HTC one X+ or the GS3.

Thanks a lot.
I'm not in a real hurry to get a new phone as my current SGS2 is working great (and there is a possibility that JB will arrive soon for the SGS2)... But I just wanted to kind of 'upgrade' from the SGS2 to a more powerful, newer phone... Hence my questions regarding should I really wait (though I understand it's a kind of silly question considering how many new devices keep popping up every month) or just go in for a model such as the SGS3 or HTC One X+ that's been proven to be a great phone....
Basically I can wait for the new one.. I'm looking at having a new one by March/April 2013.
If you can wait just wait Mate, I know your feelings so many new phones but can't choose a good one and every time there is coming a new one out.

Work phone with an exact requirement/feature
Background:
I have just bought a Motorola Defy Plus. The reason I purchased it was - I wanted a phone that could allow me t record work calls and Defy Plus seemed promising as it enjoys good amount of support in the developers here and it was like very cheap. Now when I see the work involved in rooting and flashing custom rom I find myself not too sure about my capability of managing the whole process. Even if I do manage the rooting and flashing the custom rom, I still do not have any definitive information if call recording will be possible
New search:
Given the above now I am exploring any other phones that will allow me to take care of this requirement of recording my calls incoming and outgoing , without speaker, in the stock straight out of the box condition. Besides this particular requirement my usage of the phone is very mundane - some voice calls, minimal texting , little bit of email, no games , minimal camera, once in a while a couple of minutes of music if ever.
So if any of you can give me a suggestion i.e. which phone and which app - if you have a working combo - which will solve my problem shall appreciate it very much.
Cheers
Wait, even if the nexus devices aren't to your liking they are going to drive the price of current devices down. I have the SGS3 but sources / docs for exynos processors are sketchy so support isn't stellar. TBH if support matters go with nexus although you'll have to sacrifice sd support.

I would recommend the G3. You can wait for the next phone to come up but you'll find that there is always a new phone about to be launched so you can wait forever. I've recently transitioned to the g3 and enjoy it very much. Liked it a lot better once I rooted and put a JB rom on it.

B2t, i would like the Stock version of the S4, but if HTC also releases a stock of their HTC one, then i definitly gonna buy the Stock HTC.
I would totally buy this thing if they had used software keys. Galaxy Nexus II?; sounds better than "Samsung Galaxy S4 Nexus Edition" The same goes for HTC except that would be a little harder to name.
Is samsung stuff still there.. according to google version of s4
I was wondering if they would leave the Samsung extras or pull them. I actually really like this move towards offering a plain version of the phone. It's making me really considering leaving Vz.

If my note 2 didn't have such good aosp ROM and kernel support I'd ditch it for the S4GE. This is the dream Nexus. Top hardware (mostly) with no bs software. Perfect. Folks will argue for a 32gb version but whatever... As far as price, I think it's right where it should be, that's how much unlocked bleeding edge devices cost.
So what do you guys think about development? Will the devs go for the SGS4 or the SGS4 Google? (Same question for the HTC One)
I think they will go for the Google version for both phones, but that would be stupid for all those guy which bought an SGS4 or HTC One because they expected the devs would focus on these, so i am not sure about that.

Sorry, had been wrong on the first point. Will the S4GE be as open as the Nexus devices are or is it just a S4 with Stock Android, did not get that point.
So I'm thinking of buying an S4 next week (on contract from Three), do you guys think I'll be able to install Google's own ROM when they release it?
Or will I actually have to buy Google's S4 edition?
This is going to be the best of both worlds!!!
What I always hated about Samsung phones? Software!
Sloppy bloat- and crap-ware, late updates (sometimes as much as 1.5 year late btw),etc.
What I don't like about nexus? Limited hardware!
Chopped off sdcard, no apt-x, etc.
So this is going to be the mix of what I like about both.
Or maybe I wish it would be... Unless G chops off the sd slot last second or S would stick some piece of crap in the midst of pure android!
Or well, I won't buy it then ... again ...
Just wanted to see how you guys are liking the device. Do you guys feel satisfied and happy with it? The specs are minimal in terms of an upgrade I feel so I'm having a hard time justifying it.
I'm currently in a position where I can take an upgrade and give my father my S3 (he is using an old Iphone 3g) and purchase an S4 for myself. Of course there is something in the back of my mind that says wait and see what other phones will be released but I guess you can play that waiting game forever in tech.
S4 or HTC one based on ur preference.. Don't see any spectacular phones coming out in the near future.. I upgraded from the s3 and I'm a very satisfied customer.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
I have had every Galaxy S phone released. When I moved from the s2 to s3, it felt like a BIG upgrade since the screen increased. But the processor didn't "feel" like it was a big upgrade. Now that I have the s4 coming from the s3, it is reversed for me. The screen size was negligible, but the processor is hands down much much faster. It is nice to be on the latest 4.2.2. also, but we know how carriers take forever after the manufacture release an update... so who knows if we'll always be on the latest OS (won't be from ATT ).
I am really happy that I grabbed the s4 after having the s3 for a year. If your itching for an upgrade, the s4 is worth it imo. But if you could hold out, see what Google will release in Oct. (I use that as a marker since the Nexus 4 was announced last Oct.).
I come from the S3 also. At first I didn't really like it, but now with custom ROM's its much snappier and I feel its a great improvement over the S3. The screen clarity is incredible.
That's good to know! I was just afraid I would get the phone and not see any kind of difference. :good:
I might as well bite the bullet and do it since both my father and I will benefit.

How funny, I did the exact the same thing except I used my dads upgrade since he didn't really need an S4. I am really happy with my s4, it seems so much faster than the S3 and I LOVE the screen. I'd say its worth it from the S3 but I am also curious what kind of phones will come out later.

My absolute favorite thing about the S4 compared to the S3...is that the S4 has a flat screen like the S2 did. This means that screen protectors dont look crappy and that cases fit better than they did on the S3...
That seriously closed the deal for me.:laugh:
I still have my old i9300 international S3 and my new i337 ATT S4. I'm loving the higher screen resolution. Yes the actual screen size is only a marginal increase, but it's very clear. However, the S3 screen was pretty nice as well and the only reason I can really notice is I have both and can compare them side by side.
My international S3 also doesn't have LTE so that's another thing I really like about my ATT S4.
I don't regret the upgrade, but I wouldn't be put out too much if I had to switch back to my S3 for some reason.
I have both S3 and S4 along with note and note 2.
I see a difference in the CPU. The screen on the s4 looks better in the sun vs the s3. Plus why wait while at is giving u 100 for a trade in. and Walmart gives u a 50$ gift card and it is 30$ cheaper already

Just wanted to see how you guys are liking the device. Do you guys feel satisfied and happy with it? The specs are minimal in terms of an upgrade I feel so I'm having a hard time justifying it.
I'm currently in a position where I can take an upgrade and give my father my S3 (he is using an old Iphone 3g) and purchase an S4 for myself. Of course there is something in the back of my mind that says wait and see what other phones will be released but I guess you can play that waiting game forever in tech.

similar thing here; GF and i had GS3's, my folks had iPhone 3Gs. we got GS4's, they got GS3's. GF and i both have very sharp eyes and work in similar industries; screen on GS4 is way better. The extra sensors i actually use, and the IR blaster/remote function is fantastic. It will be worth it more for your dad; the iphone 3G is ancient now.

Had the S3 for a week and a half. AT&T employee kept trying to convince me it wasn't worth it. That I would be wasting my money. He couldn't have been so farther from the truth if he tried.
Take the plunge bro, the waters nice and warm right now

I agree with the overall sentiment. The upgrade to the screen is enough to be honest. But it does feel speedier while having slightly better battery life at the same time.
I sold my S3 on swappa and love this S4.
Thanks for the feedback yall, making me feel much better about my decision. Like someone said, my Father will be the real winner hear jumping from an old iphone 3g to the S3!
I also need to look into this deal that I saw get announced today by AT&T about buying a S4 and getting the Galaxy Note 8.0 for $199
The S4 is 3x better than the S3...I still have a s3 and it rocks..but nothing compared to this device.

I sold my s3 to get this and my wife still has the s3. The s4 is faster and the screen is awesome. The ir blaster keeps me from flashing aokp.

I actually miss my s3. The paranoid android ROM worked flawlessly on it. I did get my s3 6 months after it came out though so the Roms were running good by then. Right now I'm just using stock rooted. Hopefully something stable is released when the Google edition is out for us.
