I need help - General Questions and Answers

I love Android! Had hero-evo-photon-3d-evo lte-s3 and now I'm getting kind of bored with it..
Considered WP but no apps is a major no no. And well I've been considering iPhone 5 until s4 comes out or next big android.
Is this normal?! Please help me!

There are tons of new phones out that are great as well as many new ones always around the corner, just take the plunge and pick one that suits your needs and has a good ongoing development. Good luck my friend.

I say stick with the S3, I still have an S2 and I don't feel the need to upgrade just flash some new roms. iPhone 5 is garbage, the iPhone can fit in the screen of the S3, and it bigger and just as thin and I think even lighter

What is an i5? or i4?

iPhone 5 and iPhone 4

Ah ok, hows that going so far? I can imagine everything "just works" as they say, lol

I mean yeah it works but so does android... First off I love iTunes! It's so cool plugging in phone at night and it automatically copies itself, the iPhone 5 is just so insanely fluid and fast! Camera is same as my Evo lte. Overall it's just nice having something that never stutters, no missing pics of kids due to lag, or anything like that. Idk just want something new until android is completely fluid.

I hear ya, hopefully the next version is smooth

Man I honestly love iPhone... Never thought I'd say that

very nice, have you tried out a one x yet, im loving it.
the screen not only looks, but feels much nicer to me
I'm picking up my one x on Sunday. They were out of the white one so I waited for it. Yea its a nice phone. I started out with an HTC phone so I've always been partial to the smoothness of sense. Never really liked touchwiz much.
Much smoother than touchwiz huh? Transitions are super smooth. Almost like iPhone smooth.

GS3 ROM for SGS2 Skyrocket?

Not sure if anyone has brought this up but I would be interested in seeing a full port of the GS3 TO THE SKYROCKET! I don't know of any deb's working on this but it would be phenomenal! I being kinda new would be more than willing to test and or assist I am getting pretty familiar with how to customize stuff bUT being taught

Um... accidently hit submit but in being taught I think I could help! Also I have been thinking of buying a GS3 but in looking at the specs all that seems different is a slightly larger higher Res screen an s4 processor and correct me of I am wrong but 2gigs of memory? Doesn't seem like enough to jump ship!

The latest SkyICS rom takes many parts of the GS3 including the new Touchwiz, S-Voice, and the 50GB Dropbox bonus. As mentioned, others are working on it as well.
So just curious any of you feel jumping to a GS3 is worth it?

It pisses me off how all Samsung really did was update apps. Wow. And I agree completely that we can run whatever it can, because it is still just going to be a dual core processor too lol its really kinda sad how little they added to it...when the note gets ics its going to have better specs and the gs3 is just going to have more ram lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using awesomesauce
It would be really interesting to see if Samsung/AT&T will include some of the features of the SGS3 in the official ICS for our Skyrockets. Time will tell, may even show up in the next ICS leak !!!

I was practically trying to sell my kidney to get one, but after staring at it for a while I'm really not that interested anymore. Will be first in line for next nexus phone. And I'm absolutely grabbing that nexus tablet end of this month if it's not just a rumor. I hate waiting but come september supposing apple is on time with its new lineup, I'll be getting a free iPhone 4, 4s, and iPad from my family who is upgrading so I'll have plenty to sell/trade then.

I have a question.... Why are you on this forum exactly? You are using an iPhone to post to XDA, you're signature gave you away. If you look closely, this is technically an Android forum where we are currently discussing importing one ROM to another phone it has nothing to do with an iPhone whatsoever. Wait I thought you couldn't add custom roms to iPhones? Oh wait, you can't! Look man, even if you have multiple phones, apple or Android, you don't have to come on here and talk crap. Many developers, invest there time to fix things that are broken they don't get a check for this unless is through donations. Stop talking crap bro it doesn't look good on you.
+1 if you're just here to brag about your "superior iphone" and bash android you should just leave

Farewell

So guys as u can see by my signature I have traded my one x for a nexus thanks for being an awesome communtity hope you guys will soon get this stable jb smoothness

i feel the same way. also have my HOX up for sale. will be getting a S3. never buying a ATT branded HTC phone again
I've got the S3, GNex, and HOX and I'm also thinking about selling the HOX. Between the three, I find myself using the S3 and GNex the most. I love the HOX, but if I sell it now I can put the money aside towards the next Nexus phone when it's introduced. Decisions, decisions.
Nice OP! Don't worry its a great phone as long as your getting the GSM version...I have both the hox and the nexus, I use them both and love them both.

oh it def is. but this whole lock down thing is pissing me off. i already had the INT hox and was plauged with defects. then to the S4 fantastic but this whole lock down. i am sure i'll be kicking myself if and when S-off comes avail. but i miss the S-line of samsung products. now only iff the HOX screen was in S3 damn would be one perfect ass sex phone.
by NOV prices should drop drastically . but me i hate waiting :good:

And more people would rather have inferior hardware. Phone is already beastly as it is. Don't know how much more you could possibly want out of a phone performance wise.
An unlocked bootloader and root? Impossible right now on the new firmware. The HOX is a beastly device and Joe public has a lot to be happy about. However its not an ENTHUSIASTS device. AT&T made sure of that.

Uh, you have to be more specific. What do you want to do with the tablet? Are you an Apple person, or an Android person? 7'? 8.9"? 10"?
you can try the galaxy note tablet
I'm looking for an android tablet. Either a 7" or 10". I was looking between the galaxy tabs 2 both in 7" and 10". Kinda read mixed reviews.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I would YouTube galaxy2 tab vs galaxy note and use spec difference. My personal opinion the note would be my choice because galaxy tab can be hassle with fc even in basic stock. But you gotta find the difference there
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I have a tab 2 10.1. It hasn't had any fc or problems. It also doesn't have very much dev support. It runs well for me, it's rooted, and I use it for watching movies and surfing the web.
Look into the note tablet and the nexus 7. Those are better tablets as far as specs go. They probably also have more dev support. Up to you though, the tab 2 works just fine for me.

Just got myself a nexus 7. Can't give a review or anything as I haven't even unboxed it yet. Personally, I wanted the nexus 10 but its just not in my budget right now. Little brother has an account through newegg so settled for that. Same price as it is through the play store too.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda
I've had a nexus 7 for a few months now. I love it. The constant android os updates are a huge plus for me. There's pretty good dev support, too. For the price, I'm shocked at how much I like it.
There are a few bugs with the screen. Some users report a horizontal line of burnt pixels developing, and other users report blurry edges. My nexus 7 developed the horizontal line last week. I made a three minute phone call and a new nexus 7 arrived two days later. Not bad at all. I've read the screen issues have been fixed as of now.
Oh, it's also easy as heck to root and maintain. Rooting took me less than 10 minutes from start to finish.
Edit:
It depends if u really want a similar experience as the skyrocket. I imagine the Samsung tablets may be a good pick. I found the uber clean stock Android 4.2 system on the N7 was simple enough for me to bounce and forth between the skyrocket and not go bald or blind from stress.

Still worth it?

Hi folks I am considering buying a nexus 5. Currently have a moto X and I'm happy with it. However I missed the stock Android and Nexus experience. They're all kinds of pros and cons with this phone as you all know. I guess after all this time, do you think the phone is still worth purchasing? Main reason being is the next Nexus is a matter of months away. What would you owners say? Thanks.

As Midnight_Rider Put It... In A Matter Of 6 Months... I Just Used My Jump Upgrade and Went From A HTC One M7 > Note 3 > iPhone 5s Gold (Worst Decision I Ever Made In The Handset Division... The IPad Is Cool But Not The Phone) and Now I Have The Nexus 5...
As Stated Before... Best Decision I Ever Made In The Mobile World In A While. I've Had the Nexus One & the Galaxy Nexus... Minus the Nexus S As I Wasn't On Sucky Sprint But Now That I Have the Nexus 5... I Can Clearly Admit That I'm Thrilled To Be Back To Pure Google, Unlocked, Unrestricted and On the Un-Carrier and the Nexus World.
I Said the Same Thing... As the Next Nexus Is Due By December and The G3 Is Right Around the Corner But Seriously... Its A No Brainer... I Wish the Best To You Young Padawon On Your Choices... Choose Wisely lol ?
