Hi,
I wanted to buy the nexus 4 but since yesterday, i know the nexus is not coming to my country (belgium). Since i need a new phone (my htc desire is running on it last breath) i wanted to review my options. The best phones available here are the s3 and the one x or one x+. I would like to make it a nexus via a custom rom. I know it is possible with all three but is one better than the other? l have heard that the exynos soc is a pain for developing for example...
Looking forward to your answers!
Floris

Hello,
My HTC HD2 is letting me down at a lot of points. Therefore I'm thinking of buying a new handset.
I do a lot of internetting and multitasking on my phone. Therefore a dual-core processor is a must for me.
I've read up reviews of the handset and it seems to perform quite well.
What do you guys think, should I go for it or shouldn't I?
Also, if I don't like TouchWiz, is there a possibility to installing MIUI on it? I have that on my HTC HD2 right now and I love it.
Thanks!
Hey,
This should be in teh Samsung Galaxy Ace forum. That way, you will get advice from previous owners.
Alternatively, you could put it in the Device suggestions list written by KC.
You could PM a mod and he will help you with moving it.
Just some advice to get you going.
Thanks
Thanks for your reply.
Sorry for my late reply.
Got a HTC One S instead as you can see below, love it!
This topic can be solved/closed if it were me

Go for samsung galaxy S advance or LG optimus E7.
Thanks, though as I stated I already purchased the HTC One S.

Hi guys. I just want a bit of quick advice on choice of device.
I always liked t he HTC myTouch_4G_Slide.
I got a Samsung s3 mini recently but I may need to get rid of one.
Which one should I go with. The Samsung has some obvious pros, larger screen, more onboard memory. But I still like the HTC.
Can I get other persons opinions?
Thanks

There are 2 threads devoted to questions about devices, please repost your question in one of these two threads: The what should I buy thread or The Device Suggestion Thread.
Thanks!
Please don't get mad at me for making this thread.
I just haven't seen any recent, non-shady looking places with a guide to root an HTC One X.
I'd like to root my HTC One X to:
1) Improve battery life by:
i) Safely undervolting/underclocking it
ii) Turning off 2 of the 4 cores
iii) Installing the BEST rom for battery
(I'm not sure of their respective advantages/risks/disadvantages.. could you please let me know?)
iv) Any other way, really
2) Get rid of the "3" Network branding
3) Maybe get a nice ROM
4) Perhaps I'll get Titanium Backup Pro,
I recently had my phone serviced under warranty at HTC service, and the 3-month-warranty-of-repairs thing will end in a month, and the normal 2 year warranty expired in April.
Should I root my HOX now?
How should I root my HOX? Could you please direct me to a still-valid rooting guide for my HOX?
Also, could you please recommend what I should do once I root my phone?
EDIT: Also, I'm a bit confused about custom ROMs. Does having one installed mean the default HTC Sense is removed? Like, the weather widgets and such will be gone? The 'settings' menus will look different, etc?
Thanks
The first thing you should do is probably be in the correct forum [emoji12]
You're in the HTC One XL / at&t One X (Evita) forum, and you actually have the HTC One X (Endeavoru). Plus, you've posted in the General Section, when you should have posted in the Q&A Section.
What you should do is head over to the HTC One X forum, but before you post another thread there you should do some research first. XDA rules state that a user must search thoroughly before posting. All you should really need to do is check out the sticky threads (the ones at the very top) in each of the sections there, your question has been asked a million times before, and therefore has been answered a million times before. Time to do some reading.
PS. Asking which ROM is best/most stable/fastest/prettiest, or asking for a suggestion isn't allowed, here's why. To say one ROM is better is to infer that the others are inferior in some way. This is disrespectful to the devs who spend their spare time bringing us these awesome ROMs free of charge. Each user has different tastes anyway, the best way to see which ROM suits you is to flash a few and find out for yourself. Battery life differs greatly from user to user anyway, it depends a lot on how you use your device.

Thanks for your quick reply!
I didn't realise I was in the wrong forum. Thanks for the advice, I'll go do that now. :cyclops:
Well I am going to buy a new phone soon, and I can't decide between these 2. HTC One have the better look, but specs seem a bit worse than Nexus 5 and I don't know if it will recieve the newest updates like Nexus 5... I want the phone to be kind of future proof - getting the latest Android updates for some time, and I want it to be fast, stable and have good camera. Could anyone make a comparison, or post experience with either of the phones? Which one would you choose?
P.S I created a thread in "hardware hacking" with same name, I've seen only hardware so I've thought it is the forum about hardware, a good place to compare phones... here is the link, so mods delete it please http://forum.xda-developers.com/hardware-hacking/hardware/htc-one-m7-vs-nexus-5-t2828636
Comparisons aren't allowed and how would most of us know what the m7 is like? Please read reviews and make up your own mind. You're going to get biased answers here..
"which one would you choose?"
Haven't we already chosen???

I asked here because, I've already seen a thread in Nexus 5 forum where people talked about these 2 phones, but that was before Nexus 5 was even released...

Well everyone here chose the nexus 5 so 99.5 % of us will tell you thats the one to get. It isn't helpful to you. You just have to make your mind up yourself. No one here can tell you which phone is best for you. We can only tell you what's best for us but because you posted in the nexus 5 forum, you already know what's best for us - so it renders your thread pretty useless.
I'm hoping it gets locked soon. There are too many threads from people asking this same question. Nexus 5 versus phone x. Its ALWAYS the same answer so what's the point?

Ask in the Nexus 5 forum = "buy the Nexus 5"
Ask in the HTC One (M7) forum = "buy the M7"
As mentioned we do not allow comparison threads on XDA be it ROMs, Kernels or devices the question is subjective and as mentioned above depending on where you ask the question you are going to get different answers.

I currently have a S5 but I know someone wanting to trade their M8 for an S5. My question is.....which device currently has more value? And which one will hold its value longer? I know Samsung is probably the more "popular" device out but the M8 sure seems to be more premium hardware wise. Wanting to hear your opinions to help make my decision. [emoji1]<br/>
That's a good question. I'm an M8 owner and love it but have heard the S5 is nice too. I would say the they're the same value wise, maybe the S5 a little bit more due to the higher megapixel camera but other then that it's really a user preference. I would stick with my M8 until another HTC device with better camera.
