Hello Community
I come to you today in dire need of some advice/help PLEASE.
I know it comes down to me but I feel I had to do this to assist me in a decision that has to made possibly withing a few hours. So Im askng for your help in a short time. Im not 100% sure I have to make it today but Im pretty sure, I might have 48 extra hrs but i wont know that until a little later on. My hopes are high that when the time comes You all will have helped in making my decision a little easier.
Ok.
Here is a quick overview.
I love the tech game. In the last few years Iv grown more and more fond of it. Love phones tablets Android. Gaming I would put below the others only because I havent had a system in a few years. Not because I didnt want a game system, whether it was money or i was into something else, I just never found myself buying one lately.
I never had a PS3 or an XBOX. last system was the Ps2 and i got rid of it a few Xmas's ago because I was not playing it. But now the PS3 and the 360 are out there and I can feel a 'want; for one of those systems to play online,to enjoy everything they have to offer.
I also want that Note2 BAD. it looks so sick,
Right now I have the GalaxyNexus(vzw)32gb. a Nexus7 16gb and a Kindle Fire Hd coming for xmas
The phone is perfectly fine. Its only 6 months old. Im being perfectly honest when i say I have a phone that does all i need it to, I one of if not the best 7inch tab out right and I have a 3rd coming. Would all this tell me I dont need another phone/tablet? YES. But im also telling my self that if I get the Note2,IT WILL BE A REPLACEMENT FOR ALL 3 OF THOSE DEVICES! AND I CAN SELL THEM!
I just dont know what to do. I am THE WORST when it comes to making decisions like this, Ill make a decision then ALWAYS second guess myself after.
btw I didnt know this until recently, I was planning on paying 289 or 299, however much the main carriers are selling it for but I see thats its $178 some places
then, if I decide to go with a system and not the phone, i wont know which one to get. LOL I know im terrible.:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
So guys if you can shed ANY light at all on my situation, I would appreciate SO SO much.:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
thanks for taking the time to read. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Thanks XDA...

I heard today for the first time that the nook Color was able to be rooted and was super happy since I could run Kindle on it.
Then I found xda and read about the G Tablet. At this price point for the hardware involved, I will be stopping after work tomorrow to grab one then head back here for some custom ROM action.
Super excited to see a solid form factor in an Android Tablet. When I first saw the G Tablet in the Sunday paper, I initially shrugged it off as another "not ready for prime time" tablet. While I guess it technically is, this community has taken it places!
Welcome to the forum. There is a wealth of information here and some of the most helpful people I know of.
Yes, that's exactly how I felt. I haven't gotten mine yet, and I'm still undecided whether or not I should pull the gun or continue to wait for the Notion Ink... but I've been visiting the section almost daily for news and updates.
After having the archos 101 for awhile i thought it was best I keep it and when I saw the gtablet and horrible reviews I decided to keep it but after reading the forums here I sold my archos 101 and never looked back its so much better and don't really miss the media playback aspect of it as Rockplayer has played everything I have thrown at it still gets good battery life. Now my girlfriend kinda regrets spending so much money on her macbook air and was thinking she should of gotten one as well. ^^

Get ready for a long wait, if you didn't preorder the NI yet. Their initial "stock" is sold out so who knows when their second batch will be available. If u can get this tab for 380 or below, preferable low 300s (which is possible if ur lucky) pull that trigger.
There's a lot of helpful gtab folks here so you know there's support and with VS cooperating that even adds more value to this tablet.
Picked up the tab on my way home this evening.
Man I hate waiting for batteries to charge!

Whats wrong with the gtablet? Did you try installing a custom rom on it like CM? I'm actually planning on getting the gtablet because I think its the best thing out there right now for the price.
well it's nice don't get me wrong, but before i invest permanently in this device i just want to make sure there isn't anything better out there. I would like to own a device with a little more developemnt on it already, I'm not sure if i'm expecting to much, but like i said, just want to make sure, i like to "test drive" multiple devices before making a commitment. yes i've tried the tnt lite and the vegan.
The xoom that is coming out looks to be very good, but might be expensive. The asus tablets also look promising. I have heard good things about the Adam but its hard to get and thus expensive. If you like 7inch screens the nook color has a great dev team but the hardware is very low end.
If I was u I'd rather take it back and wait till the Xoom comes out. I have sold my Gtab last week as I am saving money for the Xoom
yeah the xoom looks amazing but 1: I refuse to pay a monthly data plan for a tablet when i already have one for my phone, that's dumb. and 2: I read that the xoom will be $800 and I also believe that that is dumb, i really don't want to pay more then right around $400....

i havent seen acer tabs, even on their website.
got links?
i looked all last night for options
the xoom looks ok, but like people said - no wifi only and 800$??!?! wtf??
adam looks alright.. but its running 2.2.... i dont just want a bigger phone
so i searched around and looked at the asus ones coming out. and i think that is where my cash is going to go.

I'm looking at geting a tablet and was going to get a tf101 with dock, then along comes the prime....
The question is would I see that much of a difference to warrant the extra £100 and wait for a prime? or do I get a tf101 now?
it'll be primarily used for web surfing, email and the odd doc here and there.....
Hi tthew.
I had the exact same question about 4 weeks ago. I went for the TF101 cause I am the type of person that cant wait. To be honest, I love it to bits. Yeah there are some things that could be better, and a couple of niggles, but nothing to worry about really. I am glad I got mine and haven't looked back.
There is also the ICS update coming soon, so we are led to believe which hopefully will make this badboy even better.
I tried the whole rooting thing, but ended up having trouble when I restared my TF101, but since going back to stock, no probs at all. (Maybe it was just me and my device, I don't know)
If you want a tablet now, go with the TF101, if you can wait and are prepared to spend the extra, then wait.

Cheers Seg
I kind think i am going to go for the tf101, like you I'm a "I want it now" kind of guy....
plus after reading a few of the reviews the extra benefit of the new chipset seems to come in gaming etc. and I dont reckon I'll be doing much of that on it....

You will be suprised just how many games you will play m8. The games on these look absolutely brilliant. I know the TF201 will be better for gaming, but still, if you are a casual gamer, then they still look and play great. Check out Riptide.
You won't be dissapointed with the TF101, well, I aren't anyway.
Hope you enjoy as much as me m8.

Okay I hope I am allowed to post this in general, and I hope no one gets offended by anyway lol
I am going off to college (UCSD) this fall. I am considering buying an iPhone just for the fact that I want a completely functioning phone as my daily driver and I don't want to find myself trying to solve issues during school.
I am asking for some opinion.
I love android and flashing, but I find myself using a lot of time doing so, I dont want to do this and get distracted while I dorm in college and have other things to worry about.
I guess my question is, should I consider a new iPhone, or are the new phones like the s4 just as reliable? I know I'm going to get a variation of opinions, but that's what I want I really cannot make up my mind lol.
It just seems to me that all the apps are more reliable to use on an iPhone since they are developed for that specific device etc.
Thanks in advance for your opinion

the iPhone 5 is great device if you find one on a good price... has LTE for T-Mobile...
the only drawback si the there will b a new iPhome comming out in the nexts 3 month, so if you buy it brand new on a full price, you will lose bout $300 in value by that time...
might consider finding one on craigslis for $400sh, but be carefull, as i just got burned w a lemon last week...
bought a NOTE 2 for $360... used it for 4-5 days and got reported stolen... no service...
going to sell it for $300sh now for use on another Network, and take the loss...
back to the Blaze for now...

Have you considered running just stock on the blaze? If you want real, real stable/reliable, stock is the way to go for this phone. No need to troubleshoot issues, wipe davlik, catlog and that kind of stuff. This also applies to all smartphones. Part of flashing a non-stock rom is assuming that nothing is ever 100% stable, but can be sometimes. Most roms are 99% stable, but it seems to be that the time you REALLY need your phone for something you discover that 1% bug
Don't get me wrong, I'm excited to see what Thomas will bring with all his hard work on CM 10.1. But I just haven't ever been happy with standby battery life on CM10/CM10 based roms. That and wifi calling is a must in my basement (where my home office is).
Back on topic... regardless which device you get running stock will ensure 100% stability, that or running a stock themed/debloated/deodexed rom is also a safe way to go. Not to knock iPhones (they aren't that bad), but my father in law seemed to always be having issues with his iPhone 4. He kept losing his contacts. He just got a 5 a few days ago so I don't know how that will fare... I personally have over $100 in apps from the play store, and I don't want to have to buy apps all over again... soo.... My next phone will be a nexus 5 (got 4 bills saved already!) :good::victory: Just a few months to wait!
So yeah, I would recommend a nexus 5. Just wait 2 1/2 more months... rumors have it dropping in October. Current rumors have it with a snapdragon 800 (double the graphics perf from the 600 and modest clock bump), and a Nikon camera... drool....
yeah im looking to buy a Nexus 5 aswell, but i dont think it will have the latest procesor
its a mid tier phone, i personaly will be just happy w a LTE chip and timely updates...
whatever else they can cramp over my expectations its a plus
PS the Note 3 will be a beast... rumored to have the new flexible displays that you can not break and that latest procesor w 3GB RAM and LTE-A ...
Nexus 5? New Nexus Phone "the Moto X" will be most likely shown on August 1 as Motorola has already sent invitations. I have yet to see the Nexus 5.

naaah, they going to have a Nexus aswell...
the Moto seems like a good phone too, something to consider, especialy if they stuff a 4,000mAh battery as the rumors go... cant wait forthe release...
Ok so I'm gonna say sorry first. I know that there's 100s of these exact posts every week but I feel like I've run out of places to look and could use some help. Time has come for me to upgrade to a new phone, currently I'm using a ascend mate 2 on Android 5.1 and aside from some laggy performance issues it works for what I do with it.
That being said this monster of a phone (6.1") has started to bend from me having it in my back pocket and there's some blemishes on the screen and GPS only works sporadically at best.
I'm looking for someone to point me in the direction of a 5 ish inch phone that has plenty of rom support, wireless charging and decent amount of storage. The OnePlus 5 had me excited but just didn't do it for me. I won't justify $500 unless I'm absolutely sure I want it. I have TMobile for service.
I've looked into the op5, Xperia xz premium, and Pixel. I've considered the GS8 but have a GS6 for work and it's really buggy, also I might as well give them my first born to pay for them. I've had LG devices before and they always gave me problems but perhaps things have changed I don't really know.
I'd appreciate any help you guys can give, and again sorry for asking the typical redundant question.
I am I realize I posted this in the wrong place and can't delete. Mods please remove / close thread.
I've had the amazing s5 for years and never wanted to upgrade until I got a new job and got no signal. Love how it has the SD card and was able to switch batteries.
Switches to LG g4 on eBay for 80$ and purposely made it bootloop so I could send it to LG for replacement. So far so good and love everything about it especially the camera.
