hey guys i need help choosing a phone.
1) i dont game so i dont particularly care about that
2) mostly use it for texting and internet browsing
3) needs a good battery life
4) should be on latest android version
I'm on Verizon in the US and its basically down to:
- droid dna
- droid rzr maxx hd
- samsung galaxy s3
but i'm open to other suggestions as well. would prefer something that's future proof in terms of rooting, etc.
thanks!

hey all,
i am thinking to switch to another mobile or android device
my budget is around 22,000 INR,please suggest me some good mobiles phone in terms of gaming,
hd recording,good battery backup etc
i have selected some phones like Samsung galaxy s and nexus s (which is better)
but i want to know more smartphones
please help!!!
my first priority is looks, build & battery backup. tell me which one has better looks & real battery backup?
I strictly don't "need" a dual sim...so the second sim will always be empty in either case.Selected this as its the best available in my budget...(btw, my budget was rs.15000 but extended to rs.16000 for this phone as it seems to be a good phone for my requirements)
thought about taking htc desire v but after using my friend's desire v i dropped the idea as the touch seems to be missed by phone for a second...but otherwise its a fabulous phone too(earlier was confused b/w desire v & samsung s duos)
I've used samsung wave 3 for a day (another friend's phone) its smooth fast....but the problem is with apps & games....really couldn't find much interesting apps & games on internet.(being bada 2.0)
None of my friend has galaxy s duos so couldn't use it personally (anybody using it?give me a personal review)
I even heard wave3 is going to get tizen os (intel & samsung tie-up which will enable android apps on this phone) but samsung havn't said anything from last 6 months about confirming this...last update about tizen was a prototype phone launched to test tizen for developers. m afraid that suppose i buy wave 3 n samsung dont come up with tizen update then i would left with just the default apps(like samsung always do...they don't care about their existing consumers & come up with new to the new consumers only)
Also, tell me, i know super amoled display is better but does the tft lcd on galaxy s duos matches it so some extent?
I'm really confused. please help me?

current gen Nexus 7 basically fits the bill of all of those, except being able to make calls using the sim and it's a really successful well known tablet with good dev and community support lol

i just now checked the forums for nexus 7 3g but i dont think we can make gsm calls through it ??
Hi all. Newish to Android, been using OPO (Blisspop) and Note 4 (T-mobile stock, can't figure out how to root it).
Would like to venture out into a tablet and was wondering what are some decent tablets with good custom rom options?
No gaming, probably light usage like surfing and video, apps like facebook, skype, and poshmark.
Is the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 recommended or are there options I'm not familiar with?
TIA!
Bump?
Good day
I’m hoping someone can steer me in the right direction for the right phone.
Up until 4 months ago I was happy camper with my Samsung Galaxy S3 rooted with Cyanogen-mod.
Then it died and not keeping up on the latest changes I went out and grabbed a SAMSUNG GALAXY S5 SM-G900A AT&T SW-VER G900AUCU3B0C4 - LP 5.0. Little did I know that they had locked it up tighter than a drum? Wow, with the software bloat and not being able to use CM on this thing is driving me nuts.
I’m with Cricket now and I guess that puts in with GSM. Though an unlocked NW phone that could handle both GSM and CDMA would be nice but not a must.
I’m looking for –
- 2 GB RAM
- 4.8 – 5.5 Display
- One you can root
- Customize with CM
- 16-32 Internal ROM
- MicroSD card support
- Cost under $250
Note - I really don’t use a Camera and I don’t play games on these
Unless someone can suggest something else I was look at these two straight from Motorola.
What do you all think –
MOTO G3 GSM (XT1540) AndroidTM Lollipop 5.1.1
MOTO G4 GSM/CDMA (XT1625) Android™ 6.0.1, Marshmallow
Thank you so much for your time and help.
