I have been saving some money to buy a new android phone and right now I can buy a Samsung I9003, is it worth to buy? A friend told me to ask here, so i hope your help .
I would be using it to play games and I know that that phone cant afford good graphics but i dont care, I just wanna know if it is stable and if it will be useful in these times.
Thank you very much
In a word - no.there are more disadvantages than advantages in buying this device.but I will list a few -
1. Phased out device.
2.official Samsung support stopped at ginger bread.
3.no official cm/miui support
4.the main- lots of device at the same/lower price with preloaded jb or Atleast ics.
This is a gone and done device my friend.
Advantages-
1.a few very dedicated devs.
2.some very beautiful gb themes.
3.ginger bread had been thoroughly utilised to it's best.
4.cm9/10 ports.
Frankly,I got this device before I knew what xda/android really is .
"...The child is grown, the dream is gone..." - Pink Floyd.
If development doesnt really concern you at all. Well its kinda fine. Gaming is good in GB roms. We got many perfect GB roms here. ICS, JB is also good. But again, there are many devices with its price range that is better. Lol for me i like the looks of SL.
dont buy this device its outdated samsung doesnt cooperate in SL

what is ur budget we can give u suggestions if u want.
a big no for me
just buy a newer phone with official ics or jb
i9003 is still AED 1299 (355 USD) here at my area, there are better phones out there on that price
Go for galaxy s duos. It has ics n jb is coming very soon.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda premium
I also say no. If you want galaxy s, i prefer galaxy s advance. it's much better and i think it has dual core processor.

+1 for Galaxy S Duos.
Looks like the S3.
Adreno 200 GPU, that means good for gaming.
Qualcomm chipset, means more support from developers.
1 Ghz Processor. :laugh:
:good:
NO
buy a i9003????

Hey look i must say that i play shadowgun and nfs without problems, but in a galaxy s 9100 its much better and you dont have to root it or break your brain thinking how to install gameloft games etc etc.
there are several developers, all greats at their hobby of develope, and actually you can run android 4.1.2 in this galaxy sl i9003, and its smooth, stable and works perfectly, but maybe its a little bit late to buy this phone, samsung doesnt support beyond GB 2.3.6, so ...you know.
Hope this helps bye!!!

Hey, I've been using winmo for almost 4 years now. I want to switch to Android now. But I see so many reviews and specs war each day. I'm actually confused on which one to buy. =|
So as for your experience please suggest me.
My requirements good gaming must support games from gameloft.
Full web browsing experience.
Good ROMS support, Overclocking support without burning (lol), CM7 support and most updated on XDA-Forums. (Like winmo's HD2 is most updated and feature full phone till date.)
It's not possible for me to goto each phone's thread and read the whole day lol. So please advise from your experience.
Thanks.
Ps. no 4G phones yet in my country. Just 3G.
Galaxy S2
That's my 2nd Android phone right after Nexus one and I am undoubtedly MEGA HAPPY
It all depends on country and carrier.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
thanks you both.. =)
well carrier doesn't matter to me. I want to buy a GSM model.
I was planning for Xperia Play but the 400mb ram and the heavy UI by SE is holding me back.
Atm the GS2 and HTC Sensation are the 2 high end phones out there. As they both house a dual core processor.
The sensation has higher resolution, de GS2 more memory.
in my opinion they are equal, but you might want to read into them a bit.
if you have money sgs2, if you dont have money sgs1.
I agree and samsung galaxy s II or I are really tough competitors especially when you inject them with voodoo!

Guys I am planning to buy a new phone. I want your suggestions about choosing the right one. I am relying on good battery life and phone which has a good amount of development going on (custom roms, kernels, miui, cyanogenmod, ics etc.) coz I love to fiddle with devices a lot. My current choices are :
Samsung galaxy R
Samsung galaxy S plus
HTC Desire S
HTC Incredible S
These are my options but senior members can suggest me phone in range of 23000 INR ($475).
Thanks in advance guys

No brainer ! Its Galaxy R.
I had gone through the same list of phones before I got my R, so I am suggesting you on that basis.
It's battery life is better than the others, you can yourself check out gsmarena's battery test for this handset then you'll understand better.
SGR is a class better device. It's like to compare BMW and VW. As a former HTC IS user I must discourage you from buying this handset. Although development base for SGR is still not equally impressive as for HTC phones i would definitely choose it. Single core is an obsolete solution now.
By the time you buy the R , I'm sure CM7 would be here XD

Hey guys
Im new here. I am looking to buy SGS2 for about 26k. The problem however here(in India) is that the sellers say that they cannot distinguish between 9100 and 9100G, the model could be either of these..so its kind of a gamble, i could either get 9100 or 9100G.. :|
Now i researched quite a bit and have seen few negative reviews bout 9100G..that processor and gpu are inferior, processor doesnt reach its maximum limit(clocked at 1.008 ghz), and performance is slightly lower than original 9100..
So basically i just want to ask..whether the performance of 9100G is really that inferior, quite noticable in demanding apps? I mean i want to do loads of multitasking, heavy gaming etc.and will buying 9100G for 26k be worth?
Or i could buy some other mobile like htc evo 3d or motorola atrix 2 for lesser price and get similar performance to 9100g?
please do answer asap, im really eager to buy the mobile
thanks a lot
Even I am planning to buy an Android phone but getting confused between Galaxy Nexus and S II. What phones did you considered before coming down to S2 ?
well the thing is i was planning galaxy s plus..but thought why not shell some extra cash and get s2 which is better and will be future proof..
However this 9100 and 9100G problem has really scared the hell out of me..thats why wanted to know whether 9100g variant would be worth or not..
ok did you check Galaxy Nexus ? same specs/same price with better screen resolution.
Hmm well, firstly quite bigger, secondly i have heard it has compatibility issues with lower android os apps..
Also, i wont get samsung warranty in India..only dealer warranty..thats a big drawback..plus only 16gb fixed memory
Thats why preferring S2..
Reccomend you to buy classig SGS2 (I9100) CUS' I THINK ALL THOSE "FIRST " MODELS ARE WAY BETTER THAN THOSE THAT COME LATER. THEY ALWAYS HAVE SOME disadvantages.Hope i helped you.
Thanks for sharing
Why dont u guys read the initial post
I know the classic SGS2(9100) is better but its not available here (india). thats why wanted to know whether i can settle with 9100G or not..
Something I've forgot. a friend of mine has gt I9100 ad he's too happy with it. no problems so far. everything runs smooth even if you have 5-6 apps on. definitely the best buy nowadays.
Hi all, first i am a user of Galaxy Ace, and i'm quite active in Galaxy Ace forums, and till now i'm a bit bored with my galaxy ace, and minding to sell it and buy a replacement..
After some searches and comparations, i saw Galaxy R (i9103) and seems quite cheaper than SGSII which is very expensive in my country... :crying:
And as Galaxy R doesnt sold in my country (indonesia) so i think i will buy it from other countries.. so i really need your opinions when buying this phone..
and after seeing the specs in this phone, i was a bit amazed of it.. and the battery performance of course.. 9H in 3G, is that true ? in reviews said that my galaxy ace last 6 hours 30 mins in 3G..
I wanna ask, Could i overclock or undervolt or even underclock Galaxy R ?
does it lag while using it at times ?
are there many choices of custom roms / custom kernels / mods/ tweaks available ?
and lastly, are you overall happy for buying and having Galaxy R ?
Thank you for reading this..
Hey dude
First of all im very happi with this phone
Custom rom support is here and you can look in development section.
Cm is under development right now and there are kernals too
But its a small community and we aRe happy with every new user
Undervolting,overclocking, is also available on some keenals!
But there are the typical tegra 2 problems... like ics support,nvidia drivers..
But all in all im verry happy with the R its a very good phone!

More than 9 h 30 min in 3G.
You can overclock or undervolt or even underclock Galaxy R.
Lags happens sometimes but mostly when Lwp are used.
Each day increases the base of custom roms / custom kernels...
I personally use it more than 4 months, so far I have not found any major problems and phone is too good, if you buy it you will not be wrong
pudup said:
Touch-wiz is ****. Very little to no people use it and have switched to better launchers. So even if it did lag with touchwiz, it wouldn't be a problem. But it doesn't lag with touchwiz anyway so that should tell you something :3
Phone is great anyway. Although some models are defected and so if you're unlucky, you'll be stuck with an expensive paperweight since Samsung has discontinued production and support for SGR.

hmm. this word is veeery RARE in galaxy ace forums, bcoz, you know, Sammy didnt release ICS for ace, and ace stuck at old ARMv6 CPU with adreno 200 GPU, (omg that's too awful)
Oh yes people, i read that Galaxy S Advance (i9070) is available at my country and the specs seems a bit similar to Galaxy R, so what do yu guys think about that phone ? just asking btw
S advance uses ericson SoC, if uvr interested u can buy this phone.
Pros of S advance (vs SGR)
-lil bit fast cpu (it delivers better performence than tegra2)
-better gpu (MALI400)
Cons of S advance (vs SGR)
-develepoment support is likely zero
-no official ics announcment
-small and crappier screen
-dim screen compared to brightness of sgr
-don't have official cm announcment
-don't have bigger user base
-small ram (768MB vs 1GB)

FYI tegra is the platform who gave first dual and quad core devices. Its not dead platform and it delivers best performence out there. But yes there are some problems with platform and ics but u should not forget that there devices running on tegra is having official ics with hw accl. like sony tablet etc. Few devices like galaxy r and captivate glide doesn't have dev support that doesn't means the soc is crap. Btw I don't think that galaxy r should be considered as having no dev support. Galaxy r is having official cm (wip). And other devs are making best roms here and emo is compiling JB that days are probably gone when we used to cry that our device lacks dev support

There are very few fones with this kinda spec.. which is eye popping....also it delivers right... Go for it man..
Tegra2 dual core + wolfsons audio codec + slcd scratch proof super colors + 1GB ram.. all at a steal price...
Only hiccup for you would be that it lacks a high-end camera with 1080p record capability with hdmi support.
Apart from this.. custom rom support is really going big guns.. (considering we had none 8 months ago..)..

Royale is truly royal..... Its not found in common hands like s2.. only smarter geeks pick this device...
And, this now has much better support than it used to have earlier... which is more than enough...
I mean what is the use of 1000s of roms .... insted have 100 and of good quality... right now we don't have 100 roms..Ha ha...
But sooner or a bit later... we will have.... once CM becomes fully functional...
and the day is not too far away....

There are devices with tegra platform running ics. And sgr still one of the cheap but best smartphone according to specs. In market very few dual core with this features are available at 20,000/- INR.
And buddy no one is pointing gun at ur head and forcing to get sgr its totally up to u to what to buy. U can guy gs3 or nokia 1100 all up to u
Sent from my GT-I9103 using Tapatalk 2
kevintangi it depends what your priority is. That's SGR forum so 90% answers will be: go for it As a former user I want to say: If you are after a solid device the way it is out of the box and don't care much about fw-upgrades and devs' support go for it. Otherwise choose something else. If you want best FW-updates go for Nexus, if you want best HW and devs support go for one of Samsung's flagships, if you don't care much about best HW but you still want a decent devs' support go for HTC phone.
The way Samsung treats its non-flagship models is a dark zone and it's especially evident here. SGR is not even officially listed on the majority of samsung's websites. I've never seen more ridiculous update policy than the one here. Dev's support is better than at the beginning and the fact that CM7 is on his way sounds really promising, but it's still below the average, and it is rather doubtful it's gonna be much better, when the very best developers migrates from one flagship to another (from previous to the current one. (For example devs like: codeworxx, chainfire, gokhanmoral etc that worked on S2 now are working on S3...).
Hi buddy,
To answer some of your questions.
Is it worth it ? It's completely Value for Money handset ! At the price point it is currently available it's the best if you want a Samsung mobile which is easy to flash & also keep the warranty.
It even has some features which even the S2 doesn't have, Wolfson WM8994 DAC which is better than the DAC on S2& even on the S3. Some of my friends who listen to music & use high quality IEMs (headset) sold their SGS2 after they checked it's sound quality & they found it to be inadequate.
Though the AMOLED screens have good contrast they don't have the best visibility on bright sunny days. They are not as bright when compared to the SLCD on the Galaxy R & some guys have also suffer from screen burn-in issues on AMOLED displays. SLCD also gives much better battery backup when you are browsing the internet but has lower screen on time if you are watching videos all day long.
About the development scenario, if you are someone who wants to keep on flashing new ROMs & MODs daily then this handset isn't for you. However if you want a stable bug free handset which has most of the top quality features & which has a good amount of ROM & kernel options then go ahead & buy this handset.
CM ROM development has been started by CM Dev 'Epsylon3' who has developed CM9 for Defy which has much more lower specs. We already have nightly builds which some guys are using as a daily ROM to test it out completely. We'll soon have CM 9 / 10 once we have a stable base of CM 7 to upgrade.
This handset also has support from all the top game developers as it has Tegra 2 SOC, especially from Rockstar games. The Galaxy S Advance doesn't have any dev support as of now & it also has a smaller screen (which is a bit curved), the battery capacity / battery backup is also lower & moreover like S2 it doesn't have support for Tegra 2 games out of the box.
About the ICS update, the time given by Samsung is just around the corner & if you possible you can wait for approx 2 - 3 weeks to see whether it gets an update or not. Then decide on that basis which handset you are going to buy.
I hope this'll help you get a clear picture. You can go ahead & buy this handset right away or wait for sometime till it gets an update but it's much better than the Galaxy Ace for sure.
But if you can get a Galaxy Nexus then go ahead and buy that. I would surely recommend it over others because it gets the fastest updates & has pretty good developer support.
Hope this helps.
Cheers !
Thanks for responses everybody !! can't hit thanks bcuz limit (sorry)
so i'm buying this device next month ! yay , and gonna sell my galaxy ace for it..
galaxy ace has many superb devs and themers, y'know.. and i didnt think i needed CM ROMs, bcus, y'know, CM ROMs arent battery friendly :| .. i will rather go to stock rom with everything modded and tweaked

i would truly agree with m.kochan...he has given the best response...
See if you are buying sgr with the intent of getting ICS..den i would say wait for next couple of weeks...
Yes the hardware seems to be eye popping but when it comes in getting updates from samsung they are really poor...
Nexus costs less than sgr and has even better hardware...
And i dont see much future with this phone (personel opinion).
Also i have learnt that, if you are buying a samsung device..then it should be a flagship or a some popular product..the high-ends..!!

Its laggy after installing 30-40 apps, RAM always show 50-90mb free. After minimizing opera min, dolphin browser and switching back to that app makes reload page again.
I think ANDROID is made for those high end cellphone which have higher hardware configuration i.e: 2GB RAM, 1GB DUAL CORE proccy etc.
i was very happy with old Nokia 5230

Not quite sure who sold you on the Micromax A100 but you picked a horrible device for a starter Android experience. The reviews are horrible and if you are coming from a cooked down Nokia environment, then you will be disappointed with a device like this.
I do not know your region or carrier but there are much better devices running Android from Samsung and others that would be around the same you paid for the Micromax A100... ranging from free to $99.
Switch to ios. Next

He totally said he was a decade long Nokia user... no iPhails mentioned.
But i must agree... this forum was never for what you hate... it is for questions, news and things you NEED/WANT.
you bought one of the WORST seriusly i mean it WORST mobile phone.
it has android ICS with Adreno 200. Ics is not meant for such phones. Dont complain for lag when you buy such a bad phone.
You could buy a budget device like xperia live with walkman it cost about the same. (maybe lower)
Just search before you buy.
As a lot of other people have stated in the thread, the Micromax A100 is a pretty terrible device that's not even optimized for the android version that it runs. The gift and curse of affordable android is that 99 times out of 100 it won't be a super duper fantastic experience like say... getting an iphone would, but the good part about android is that there are affordable devices that do most of the same things. Not all, like higher end games and all that jazz, but most. If you want to have an amazing experience with a phone in general, you're looking at spending at least 400 smackers on a device with all the right specs running the latest possible android version.

Download a root checker app? I know some are really easy to root, but I wouldn't trust something of I didn't understand what it was doing in the fist place.
I don't really know what you can do to make your phone "faster". Maybe there are custom ROMs for it that could help a bit, removing bloat, et cetera - but they are things that will make small differences, not huge ones.
You can't add more RAM, so re-draws and such are inevitable unless bloatware is taking up a huge, huge part of that.
And, yeah, an OS and the hardware are hugely connected. You could put Windows 7 on an underpowered machine and watch it lag and freeze and struggle - but can you really judge it from that?

As a fellow Nokia lover, try the 820 or 920. Beats any prior Nokia device and walks all over android.
Since you have rooted already , uninstall any micromax bloatware that your phone might have been shipped with. Use opera mini instead of dolphin browser. Get rid of most of the widgets that you seldom use. I used Samsung Galaxy 5 for a year on gingerbread , I know what you are talking about.

My phone has worst specs than yours and it doesn't lag. Mostly its the ROM its running and any stock ROM on any phone is slow and laggy so just root it and put on a new vanilla custom ROM on it and problem solved. I did and my phone is running alot smother and better.

YOu can not make gold out of crap. Go and get yourself a Galaxy 3 and you will love Android.
Your phone is crap
You chose one of the worst phones available. Your phone is the equivalent of a NES console where a galaxy note is the equivalent of a ps3. (not that the nes isnt epic its just old hardware,..) We have games that can rival consoles in terms of graphics and game play now and true 1080p hd resolutions backed up by quad cores and 2gb ram etc. Your phone sucks plain and simple not android. My G Note flys. Its as fast as my computer and normally have cmore than 400mb ram free our of the 1GB lol

He already said sorry for his behaviour. And xda is the place to help and get help, not the place to complain and accusing the phone. If you can't help, please don't post here
