A lot of games doesn't work and every 3d game lags and, battery live is ~ 1day (normal use), audio jack work only with samsung headphones, JB runs like sh"t after 2 days of using (reboots, crashes and menu lags).
Samsung never again. They just made s**tty phone.

1st: Trust me this phone doesn't lag, especially compared to gio(WHAAA?) lawl
2nd: If you just go to our gaming thread you will see what and how many games dun work or lag..
3rd: Yeah our battery is not the biggest but damn..it's a 170 euro phone go get yourself a 3650mAh battery (might look a little bulky but will surely last longer) also you could buy a couple of spare same 1700mAh batteries and carry them with ya?
4th: The is no yet official jelly bean, now yeah you will tell me that MC8 is branded and shyt..yeah still I highly doubt that this is in any way a final firmware (This means that bugs are STILL expected)
5th and last: I won't lie to you samsung has very bad support for their mid-range devices and even on higher end ones so yeah, if you are an update maniac get yourself a nice nexus phone which is on a ridiculously low price right now on amazon.

yo, there is no need to be aggressive, xda is a forum for development but this is exactly the reason General threads exist. This is a complaining-discussion thread so keep it cool.
So you think this phone, that fall from 2nd floor (slipped from my hand) and still survive without a dead pixel, is ****ty? Good thought..

I have to say, I don't love my ACE 2 but I like it alright.
Good cheap phone. I dont have lag's. Battery life is good, nice camera, good display, JB runs smooth with mc8/The Italian Job, games(most of them) works without major problems, only thing that i dont like on him is lack's of more custom roms. That is the only disadvantage for me. For such a cheap device is pretty good.

I hate my ace 2 too, but i tried a lot of other phones about 200 € and every of them had some big problems... because of The custom rom guys (thanks mkel and kyrillos) the ace 2 runs pretty smoth, but there are so many things i dont like on this phone that cannot be solved with a custom rom :l

Then just buy a different device - how simple is that. For me this phone has everything I need. I'm not gamer and making pictures not often. General use for me is internet. Screen size is just right. So will it be good device or will it suck is defined mainly by your needs. For me it covers my needs compeletly so it is good device.
Regards!
This is my favourite Android phone so far (I think I've had 7 or 8). I prefer it to my Nexus 4. Size, speed, battery life are all just right. Still not as geeky as my Nokia N900 or as cool looking as my Ericsson T39, but no Android phones are!
I suggest you one thing: go to your local resell and buy another phone; I think is good, and I don't trust your opinion..
No one cares If is good for you or not..
Can someone close that thread?
This is provocation.
It may not be the best phone but its worth ur money. Plus we got the jb we asked for. The onlu thing i dont like about this phone is the lcd bleed on the top of my screen that creates a fog on the side screen sometimes. And the lack of cm10 makes me impatient.

I want a gamer phone that means i want To play games like mc3.
Which phone Would be The best choice for that
ps:it should be cost around 250€ maybe a little bit more
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
Have you checked out the xperia play? Also, any current dual core phone should be sufficient to play mc3
Buy Samsung Galaxy S2. It will be the best choice for gaming as mostly all games support it. Modern Combat 3 runs like a beast on it.
Dont buy Xperia Play...! It only has 512MB Ram, 1.2Ghz single core cpu and an old Gpu which is not good to run latest games like Nova 3, etc...
And btw game developers have stopped optimising games for XperiaPlay.
So S2 is the best choice for your budget.
And 1 top reason for buying Galaxy S2 : Galaxy S3 has the same Mali-400 GPU which means all games in the future which will support S3 will also support S2...!!!

Yes..galaxy S Advance is also a good choice but its price is only around 50$ less than S2. S2 comes with a 8mp cam while as S Advance has 5.0mp...and S2 scores more in benchmark results...GPU only plays a small role in running games..CPU and RAM does the trick..So i think u should wait a little bit and save some enough money to buy S2. You will never reget the wait once you get it.

As i said i cant go with the original s2 because its not available here.
Now i have a galaxy ace which has an armv6 proc. and its no more supported not in games or any other app. Now the main problem is i can live very well with my galaxy ace if i have to wait for a new generation of proc. Aka cortex-a15 or something like that.

I bought my S2 from Germany too, and it's not G. You just have to look for one.
Maybe you should look for one used?
Sensation is a little bit cheaper, but its GPU is nothing compared to S2's.

Then maybe you should buy Sony Xperia Arc S. Price is too less for its features which the phone has.
It costs 200$ less than Galaxy S2. So it will be a good choice. It scores nearly the same in benchmark results like S2. Morever Many games are also supported.

Ok am not gonna pimp you my current phone or pimp you the fantasy phone i would like to buy if i could myself.
What am gonna suggest is the criteria for your choice of phone, and one other utterly vital issue if your main concern is gaming.
1:
Get a phone that is know to work with sixaxis
If your unaware what it is it is a completely awesome app that allows dualshock PS3 sticks to be used as controllers for Android devices via bluetooth, its well developed and ultra stable, best updated regularly (but not recently).Has many features that make it THE BEST choice for a decent controller for Android gaming.
These include full button config, touch control emulation, apparently Earl the dev is working on accelerometer emulation too. Nothing else on the market or that is proposed yet covers the options list of sixaxis.
It completely TRANSFORMS the experience of playing games like MC3, or ShadowGun, N.O.V.A., etc. But it is just as awesome for racing games, arcade games, emulators, etc, any gaming (that's until its implemented) that's not accelerometer dependent.
Oh yeah it easily works out as the cheapest Android controller solution too
2:
Gaming will HAMMER your battery, it will beat it down like a red headed step child, then beat it to a pulp as it lays on the ground, then round it off by violating any moist orifices your battery may have. Gaming will keep doing this to your battery without any shred of empathy, guilt, or remorse.
So make sure that the phone you get either has a good battery life or one with plenty of high capacity 3rd party batteries to choose from.
The ideal would be a phone with both characteristics. Buy a few spare batteries 3+ unless you don't mind being caught short of battery when out and about.
Also remember the faster the CPU and the more cores the faster your battery will get flensed down to low power warning. Not encouraging you to get a low end CPU just reminding you.
Everyone gets all school girl excited about quads, but the current generation of duals are more than enough to run current games with ease.
I own an old HTC Desire Z 800mhz stock CPU i usually OC it to 1.1 -1.3GHz when gaming but many games don't even need this boost.
As i stated am not suggesting a low end CPU but guys get over focused on the fastest they can get ........ often its an exercise in Geek willy waving ...... and is often just as purposeful
3:
Screen size, obviously you do not want a 3" screen to play games, my approach is biggest you can get when taking all other features into account.
4:
Roms choice many custom Roms usually the more stripped and optimised ones like CM, AOKP, or Miui often give better gaming performance than a whole slew of other Roms.
5:
Maybe with your budget you should consider going 2nd hand. If done carefully its nowhere near as fraught with risk and danger as many seem
to think. Its probably THE best way to guarantee HUGE bang for the bucks spent.
Hope this helps bruv

First thanks for your detailed post.
Second i dont want a 2nd hand phone (bad experiences) and maybe im going to sell my ace so i can maybe buy a s2:victory:
the ace costs now around 160Euro (new), what do you think i will get for it if im going to sell it. It has no scratches only some micro at the chrome case and the chrome is at the bottom a little bit decomposed. but thats not a big thing. AND i have rest warranty.
Bad news for me.
I searched for the original s2 here in germany but the only thing i found was that there is no s2s whitout the g anymore:screwy:
I also checked for the adreno 320 aka s4 pro. Its very fast i surely very good for gaming but the first devices will be released to the end of this year

Should be good, but are you bothered with the screen size?
Anything with dual core and decent graphic are still up to par with today's modern games such as nova 3, but if you really into gaming i suggest you to get a phone with bigger screen size because it's what matters they most.. e.g galaxy nexus?
Swyped from my GT-i9100
from last 10years i was using Nokia (3230, 5130, 2700, 5230 etc) This year i bought Micromax A100 and this is my 1st android device. After using 10 days i felt ANDROID sucks. 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
Try a different Android

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

Dude, you can't just buy some low end device and then complain about its lags. Cheap devices are not meant for smoothness. They are meant for general use. And I can still bet that this Android micromax is faster than your Nokia 5230

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?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
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.
learn, read, find forums here or search for forums on google regarding the handset that you are using and try to make it into the smartphone to give you a better experience...that is the fun about android my friend....and also if you are not happy with your current phone why not just trade it for something else..many entry level android handsets out there that are realy good and will give you a good android experience...need any help feel free to hit me with a PM...and guys mind your language here..we all here to respect other members and still help others who have difficulty no matter how they feel about android

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

I'm contemplating selling my Red S3 and buying the Nexus 4 in its place, is this advisable? I used to be on top of my game with phones but fallen behind, so any pros or cons of each device would really help.

Many of my friends bought s3 and want to sell it.
System errors or sth like that i don't really know why.
Nexus 4 ist in my opinion very good and cheap .
you get the updates at first and the over smartyphone later
But wait it will come a new Nexus phone from Motorola and Google
I switched from a OneX to the Nexus4. I'm so happy that I did it.
Let's say it like this: If it's OK for you to only have 16gb non-expandable storage and you can live with a bit a inferior camera, then the Nexus4 is so much better.
I have to admit, I just CAN'T live with 16gb. and I hate the the quality of the camera, though, I still like my Nexus4 more than my OneX.
I have only 1gig of storagespace free.. **** it.
The Nexus is just too good, there's no device I can think of wich I would like to use more.
It's incredible how much smoother that thing is compared to other droids, really.

I have an S3 and I looked at the Nexus4 in a store last week. I would say wait for the next one, unless you like the openness of the N4. Don't get me wrong, it's a great device and very cheap, but if you already have an S3, I personnaly don't see the point in switching. Both devices are great.
i think that S3 is the best becuase it is quad-core 1.4 Ghz and it is very fast..

Coming from someone who has never seen the specs on an N4...
S3 > N4
Oh, in my opinion, google did some basic matters false on the nexus 4. why for example do they push the user to use the google cloud? not adding enough space internally and lack the possibility to use a sd-card is ridiculous. True, the S3 hast some shortcomings too, but choosing from this 2 devices, I would definitly go for the s3.
Everyone have his own opinion
Galaxy 3 is way better than nexus 4. My comment is based on personal experience.

Are you crazy????
Sure the gs3 may cost more but it's got an SDCARD SLOT!!!! how much do you think you can last on 16gigs without an sd card???
Plus it's got a bigger screen and a faster.processor. the only reason it gets slowed down is because.samsung hasn't done a great.job at configuring hardware. So , disable startup junk, clean, overclock if you wish, speedhack, change kernel and rom.
you'll see the difference between nexus 4 and sgs3. Nexus 4 is a step below. I did my good deal of research a while ago, im happy i bought the s3.
the bigger screen is easier to use.
Ive got my 2800milliamper battery in it so it lasts a lot.
It's fast.
I know the nexys 4 is a good device, i won't deny it. But it's lacking much in hardware compared to gs3. Not only does it have a smalle screen, but part of this screen is taken up by softwarw buttons. while galaxy has got all the free screen space to use.

In my opinion there is no contest on which phones better than the S3 or nexus 4.... S3 by miles, more storage, better camera, faster, better screen, newer phone & better technolgy! The only thing which is bad about the S3 is the plastic back case on the back of the phone. Plus this is like the same old question when it comes to phones.... which is better? iPhone or S3? Please dont get me started on the outdated software on the Apple iphone
But seriously its youre choice so think hard do some homework on it & try for youre self
But like some before have said its not worth getting a S3 at this time because the S4 is on the way.

Deanr spoke.my mind. I believe he still has his galaxy though...anyways it would be wise to waiit for s4 to come out and then buy the s3 when prices really drop.
Also i can't understand why people keep making comparisons with android devices and iphone. There is NO comparison whatsoever. How can ios be 'cool' if there are just minor customization options?? Plus apple keeps blocking the jailbreak releases.making ios even more useless.
only things keeping ios alive are its apps and jailbreak. They'll soon be forgotten.....

See my experience thus far is nothing installs on SD, it gets sluggish so fast, there are definitely issues, I've not rooted it, as much as I want to, because it potentially voids my insurance cover. It frustrates me as the S2 did the app install so well but the S3 not so well.

You serious? The only thing you're right is the better camera and more storage.
Both, the screen and the CPU are much worse than the N4.
Better tech? whaaaat? The screen has a pentile matrix and exynos is really behind the snapdragon S4. Also, the newer phone is the nexus.
Don't tell things that you don't know exactly plz.
All you samsung users, your devices are awesome, granted, but they will never be as smooth as the nexus line.
OP, go try both phones. It's a matter of taste. you won't feel a real difference in daily use anyway, except you're a ROM flasher like me, then you should get a nexus by any means, because the development of the nexus line is so good.

You must be kidding me!! You're posting from a nexus 7 how can you say nexuses are fast? They are stable, they are smooth, but they will never be as fast as galaxy esses! (See benchmarks).
If a galaxy s3 a.d nexys 4 flash the same kind of rom and both optimize it for their phone, the s3 will be blazing fast and the nexus just smoother.
Sure nexus 4 has a good screen, maybe youre right and its even better quality, but its smaller and part of it is taken up by the soft buttons. Too bad, but i get to use all of my screen space. No lag at all (cause i know how to configure my s3). The only prpblem with s3 is it has been configured really badly by samsung...

posting from a S3
I have a n7 and a n4 y'know. Browsing XDA on my tab is a bit cooler xP
Are you a benchmark kiddy? benchmarks say nothing. and I got many friends with S3's, because samsung and apple dominates switzerland. There are almost no other models out here except S2's S3's and iphones.
Benchmarks of the exynos chips are not better than the ones from snapdragon s4 pro. Anyways, what matters in daily use is how smooth the phone is, not the speed and fps it can get in benchmarks (though, the S4 destroys the exyons when software is on same level).
Screensize/screen-estate? Since I own my n4 i never used onscreen-softbuttons. I'm using gestures with GMD Gesture control and deactivated the softbuttons on AOKP. That way I have the full screen of the n4 available, wich is really cool at a lcd-density of 240.
I don't say the S3 is bad. I just don't get the point why someone should get the S3 above the n4 when memory and camera don't matter.
R: Galaxy S3 vs Nexus 4
Ur right if memory and camera (ive never been an hd camera fan, but ive noticed having 8mp makes me wanna use the camera more) are not important to the user, nexus 4 is best chioice.
But even thought im not a benchmark freak, and even though i too have friends with galaxies and a friend with an s3 that has made his phone so laggy i had to get him a new rom and kernel, so obviously the speed of the device depends on users smartness, im NOT giving up on s3 performance.

I also know some guys with a S3 or S2 wich lags like hell. I don't know what they are doing, but those probs are mostly fixed when I flash them some good things.
Speed and user-experience depends on user smartness, that's really true
No benchmark battle for me, because my experiences are that kernels wich do better benchmarks mostly give worse userexperience in daily usage, but more fps in games.
But you can sure go and read some exynos 4412 vs s4 pro reviews, there are enough of them..

I bought S2 just after S3 came out. I thought to myself - who needs these modifications, S2 will do the work and will cost less.
Ow, I was wrong.
Now S4 is the latest cry. I wish I had money for all of Samsung gadgets!
What I heard so far about the S4 - the specs/advantages are not that big compared with the S3. Most of the announced features are app driven and I wil never go to use the stock roms and the manufacturer apps - I prefer to go with custom roms.
I will not be one of the early adopters ...
Except for the bragging right S4 is not much better that the S2.
S2 can do anything s4 can do and is lighter.

I guess it depends on what you need on a phone, and I do understand you trying to justify keeping the S2 instead of buying a new one, but you cannot deny that the S4 is a lot better than the S2 in almost every single area (things improve quickly in mobile phones hardware, so in about 2 years, a lot has changed).
My girlfriend has the gs2 and it's not even in the same league as the gs3. The gs4 is better than the gs3, so it might be a bigger upgrade than you think.

Saying S4 is not really different from S2 is like saying a computer based on the 3rd generation Core i7 is not that different from a Pentium D, either plain ignorance or just in denial. Raw specs alone will make many things that require raw processing power possible. A denser display means better experience to the eye, especially for the elderly if they wish to zoom heck in for text. There's just so much you can do with better hardware, just compare how choppy Android even back when S2 was released. S3 and same gen phone is the turning point where Android starts to have a more fulfilling user experience. Now S4, One, Optimus Pro improves it even further and I think this is pretty much a transitional stage where wearable device is going to be the hot item next year instead of a piece of monolithic plastic with giant display slapped onto it.

Yet you still need to tweak it. For people here, yes it might be an easy feat to do, but for many other normal customers ? Out of the box experience might not give us the true potential of a phone but normal customers will be turned off by choppy stock performance. I really hate it when people here only see it from the view point of people who have the know how to tweak their phones.
If humanity has the mentality like this, I doubt we would even see smartphone which has monster spec rivaling that of a notebook which is many times larger and heavier. I doubt humanity itself will progress for the better. Why should I settle for inferior experience when there is something better in front of me ?
So, basically, my 2012 iMac is really no different from the old iMac that used PowerPC processors, just because both can surf the web? Sometimes, these things just need plain raw power. And btw, I would say that the S4 is a good device to upgrade to from a 2011 device.
Sure, my arc s runs fine on Jb 4.2.2 for everyday usage with a couple init.d tweaks and some mods. But the newer phones are just going to be faster and more efficient. You can't argue with that.

Hey Everyone, now before you start posting anything about this being a comparison I would like to say that...
This is NOT a Comparison between the galaxy s 4 models.
What I wanted to ask you guys if I should change from the I9500 to the I9505 since I have a chance.
As for myself I think I should since I like flashing lots of Roms and the I9505 community is bigger.
Or the I9506 (I don't know much about)
Tell me what you think by voting on the poll.
Ps. If you have any opinions or reasons for me to change to it or to stick with the I9500 please share your opinion in a good manner.
I would like to know as well. Where I live its the 9500 that sells more, but I also love to flash a lot of ROMs

Advantages over i9500:
I9505 has LTE if you need it
has better battery life
has OpenGL ES 3.0 which will be useful starting with Android 4.3
has bigger selection of roms, you can turn your i9505 into a Google edition one and get latest updates without sammy's TW and craps..
Now i hope that nobody gonna get me wrong here, but Samsung completely fwcked up with this unfinished exynos on the i9500.
The decision is yours, they're both amazing devices.
First thing I think you need at assess is what are your goals, what are you wanting to achieve & what are you going to expect by changing phones? (Edit) other than flashing. Both are rather comparable ya know at least from what I've read, its not like changing from a HTC desire to a HTC one S or something like that.
If you have opportunity then have BOTH and enjoy the best of both worlds I9505 for flashing and I9500 for better sound.
From what I've read better sound is the only real world benefit between the two.

I don't think you will notice any difference between them, what i'm sure about is that both will get better and better with new updates, and the apps/games will get better optimization updates too. When first came out the s4 many games were running smoother on the s3, but since then things changed.

The lags I suffered were with old games that weren't updated in more than a year. I believe it has to do with the screen size.
No problems until now with new games but I don't use CPU intensive ones like FPS or Racing games.
About the change, if you love to paly with different ROMs and try new things the 9505 is a better choice. I have a couple of friends with the 9500. They have less battery at the end of the day and use it less than me. Could be Touchwiz or could be Qualcom optimizations.
Anyway, there is still not the level of activity the 9100 has but you will be entertained. And the recommendation is always to get a Nexus device. The 9505 is the closest you will get without compromising SD Card or replaceable battery.

Well in my opinion if you really wanted to be on the Android bleeding edge like really wanted to be on the latest Android version, the i9505 would suit you best. Google was really serious with the i9505g getting timely updates and since the i9505g is basically i9505, you could flash the latest android version with it and since you mentioned you really like flashing roms, the i9505 would not disappoint.
i9505 advantages:
1. Timely updates from Google(only a week behind the nexus updates) thanks to the i9505g.
2. LTE
3. Custom roms
4. Dev support.
I don't own the i9500 so I cannot really comment on it.
if you not satisfied with gt 9500 i think you should go to other devices like xperia z1 or optimus g2, makes more sense.

Yea, to switch to a diffrent model of the same phone!!
By the way did anyoney here own/still own a nexus 4.....?
If yes is there a big difference between the two devices?
The i9505 struggles to keep some intensive games like Real Racing 3 smooth (>30fps) according to my experience! Battery life is phenomenal on my i9505, getting 4.5-5.5 hours of screen time at 40% brightness with constant LTE and Data on! Lasts about 20 hours on average! If you rather have battery life and dev support, go for the i9505, otherwise the i9500 is a good choice too!
Like others have mentioned, 9500 for the Wolfson audio or 9505 for the slightly larger development community. That is how I would see it anyways.
They are so very similar in many respects but I personally would prefer a larger selection of options available in the development world.
I'm on Jamal's 4.3 GE and it's the buttery smoothness you come to expect with such a device.
