Today I saw at SamMobile a Article about the upcoming Galaxy Ace 3.

Can you post a link? I can't find the announcement.
Anyway, I thinks it's good that this line of phones is going to continue - if Sammy will keep value/money index with A3 it will be my next handset. I'll wait 3-4 months from introduction, sell Ace2 and buy Ace3. It will be equipped with 4.1+ android, IMO first mature version of android so there will be everything we need. Update to 4.2+ is not essential as main changes there are for tablets. I only hope that they will make the camera batter, i.e. more responsive, current version and lags in it are terrible

Hmph.. our phone will be like Galaxy w ( Good phone , single core 1.4 ghz ,forgotten phone ) but it gets CM :thumbup:
GT-I8160 JB♣

So there is no Hope for our Phone?
Because i havent enough money to buy a new one but I really like Custom Roms like Cyanogenmod.

I think they will bring out an Ace 3 soon, the Ace 2 didn't sell very well over here. The Ace is still selling very fast in the UK! Still a really popular phone. My contract is up in August so I might consider it, that or an HTC. Maybe even WP, unlikely however.
I'm really interested to see what they do with the design!

Why are you afraid of? You have got great device for your money. Ace 2 would go to low end and Ace 3 will replace our device. Evolution, nothing new.
If you are afraid about of lack of development ... don't cause I do not think middle end devices (without support of producer) had ever proper development help. There are more than two devices which are close competitors to Ace 2 ... I mean SIII Mini and S Advanced and a whole bunch of Xperias. We still do not have working CM on Samsung middle class.
If I would like to have great support ... I would buy Nexus or any popular Sony phone. Ace 2 has just good size, its cheap and reliable device. With proper 4.1.2 ... I won't need more. If you buy Ace 3 ... it will be definately bigger ... it will get 4.1.2 right now and then ... maybe in a year Samsung would update it to next android. Samsung leaved such good devices like Galaxy S Plus or Galaxy W without support ... think about it choosing next Samsung phone.

1.2 GHz CPU dual core ? Maybe another Nova Thor -_- . Ace 2 is great phone but with this what we have got we need to start creating something better than stock ROM . OK , MC8 isn't so bad but our staff can be more powerful with longer battery life .

My question is - what else do you need in this ROM? In my opinion in 4.1.2 we've got everything what we need. Give me certain examples what else do you need in custom ROM.

For me just give me a CM 10 and i will be happy.

Look in features of Kyrillosv7b. There are all examples.
Also the long press back to kill app feature, which you can also find in CM is great.
Hot Boot is nice

I really can't understand people who wants to change Ace 2 into S4. If you want better battery life and amazing features - buy newer device - that is the manufacturer 's policy.
I am a true fan of CM, but I have a weird feeling, that many people thinks that CM can transform any phone into Galaxy S series, without spending any money - that is not the way it goes.

Try to understand that everyone have diferent need's and own taste. When stock 4.1.2 is good enought to you, means that you are lucky guy, but you cant expect same for every other person. I like much more pure Android vision, and if know, before i buy Ace2, that we dont have CyanogenMod or AOSP, never buy it. But this is my mistake. So my need's is clear:
- pure Android
- better ram mangment
- better battery life
- more kernels
- theme chooser and so on....
That's my personal opinion.

Want all of that? Buy Nexus. Simple.
I can understand that many people want CM. Personally I also like it very much, but I hate situations, when a group of people is complaining about lack of Cyanogen on our device. If I am oriented into CM ROM's I am buying a device with expanded developer support (i.e. Nexus, as I said before).
On the other hand, a lot of people is thinking, that if we get official JB 4.1.2 from Samsung, we will "automatically" get CM 10 support. It isn't working like this - no one said that if we have JB, we will get CM. It is only a good will of CM Team.

Yes, agree if you want to have multi tasking. Automatic task killers are stupid, I agree. But sometimes I want to have a app closed and not running in background. For example a game which makes my phone laggy while it runs in background.

Ahahaha yes. Buy a phone which costs 300€ more...
I already have this phone and I want as much performance as possible. Is this too much willing?
Yes my next phone will be a nexus but only because it's very cheap. Galaxy nexus and S2 wasn't so cheap so I bought this phone. (nexus 4 wasn't out there)
So I'm happy with every rom which makes our phone better in performance and features...
EDIT. and if you don't want custom ROM's, why are you on xda? You better should be on sammobile if you only want newest official rom...

Sony Xperia Z ultra VS a new galaxy mega ???

Ok I had a look at the sony z ultra today the 6.4" screen one and it looked amazing, the picture whilst watching a movie was better than my tv!
However I have a Samsung galaxy note, im not getting the note 3 as its to small, I prefer samsungs BUT the current galaxy mega 6.3" specs arnt that good compared to the sony.
I have heard that they should be bringing out a galaxy mega with S4 specs or something like that so my questions are -
Does anyone know if they are actually bringing a better mega out?
and
Anyone got any personal reviews on the Z ultra? looked online at reviews but would rather ask someone who has one
Im in the UK so needs to be a UK phone
Thanks

Yes, I am using the Xperia Z Ultra and it is phenomenal
I don't see why anyone would get a Galaxy Mega over this.

really can I ask you a few questions please, I WONT be getting the current mega but like I said I spoke to a Samsung rep she mentioned a newer one may be coming out this year with better specs so I am tempted to wait for that if its true?
So yeh -
How long have you had it, just as if you have installed all your stuff do you ever find it running slow or laggy at all?
Whats the battery like on it, will it last a day if you use it for the odd texts and phone calls etc?
Do you ever find applications/games that are unable to play as it may not support the phone at all?
Think that's it for now ill let you know if I have any more.
Could you also let me know if there are any problems or any good things you can share at all with it please?
Thanks

Battery easily lasts a day. Would require recharge at night though. No, this thing doesn't slow down at all. It does have the faste. processor available. And 2 gb of ram is plenty enough to multitask without the any app foreclosing.

Couple of others, you know it has the silver thing on the side is that for a dock and a charge>? or how does it get charged is it a micro usb?

The left thing is for magneted charging by the dock and it also has micro use.

It comnes with some sort of microphone thing not sure how it works though, going to google it now haha!

I've come to notice that girls like a man with a big phone. Gives them a little comfort. So no, you don't look foolish holding such a big phone.

Xperia Z Ultra

Hey guys, please continue your discussion here:
[Discussion] Compare Any and All Devices Here!!
:good:

[Q] Hi, I'm new. Problems with Both SGS2 & SGN One

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum , my first thread here , so be nice , etc.
My first touch phone was a Samsung Galaxy SII back in 2011, that the phone was working perfectly until I saw all the themes on the web , downgrades , upgrades and such. I accidentally kill my unit twice, So I had to file it for $ 35 I think. Today, I can not charge it at all, in the hole where you insert the end of the charger for it to start charging , where loose it. It may fall out out cell phone at any time , so it 's no use I use ODIN anymore.
The third time I killed my Galaxy S2 I bought the Galaxy Nexus the day after, I was so happy, it's the theme I always wanted and blah blah.
But after almost 7-8 months, it slowly ........... Slow responding when typing , slow to open applications , lagging on any games that should not be .
So I decided to downgrade to Gingerbread 2.3.5 for maximum longevity takes less on device performance.
BUT ! I do not do it directly on my Nexus , since I dont want to take the risk to kill it, so I wanted to downgrade my galaxy S2 from 4.1.2 to 2.3.5 , becase I do not even care about the phone.
And my galaxy lose few perfect for a few minutes without using it , so the charge would be pointless .
My GF also has her own GS2 , and we charge my battery with hers phone that way.
But any idea?
My nexus is really slow, and I want to increase the battery life ..
now days i dont care about the theme or design, just a performance, as the delay is my enemy.

I'm afraid your in the wrong section - if you want to increase performance and battery life on your GNex, go and have a look at the Galaxy Nexus forums Custom ROMs and kernels will help you increase those two

You can find a pretty good review here.
I think that the camera quality is almost the same regarding the back camera.
Personally I suggest you to offer the Nexus 5:
• Android updates
• Light
• Cheap
• Smooth (I hate TouchWiz!)
The battery life isn't the same... however I have good results with my N5 thanks to our XDA developers

they aren't really the same age. sgs3 came out in june of 2012. nexus 5 came out in nov of 2013. that's 17 months of difference... or a lifetime in the terms of phone components.

My opinion coming from a note 3 I actually like this camera better it just seems more user friendly in my honest opinion **** I've had this phone for 3 days now and I absolutely love it

[Q] Need help finding new phone!

I want a new device
i do gaming
bigger screen = better
i want high quality display
i play game's, i want fast SoC and good graphics !
i wan't the device to have a wide range of CustomRoms and other stuff
good battery life :| but if it doesn't have it i can deal with it, just not less than my nexus 4 ! (around 4 hours :S with lowest brightness)
also, i had 2 Samsung phones, first one was note, it had LOTS and LOTS of scratches,i send it to warranty for motherboard problems one time, after i sold it, the guy told me it won't turn on again, after that i didn't have phone for a while and i got s4 instead of nexus 4 (long story why,) it sucked and it was laggy (at touchwis only + gallery) so i sold it ! and bought nexus 4
i don't feel like trusting samsung again, should i ?
price is also important, i have money. but i will pay if its worth it ! i mean... i want to save it for future!
currently im thinking of waiting for nexus 6, but it doesn't have snap 810
i also wanted to see what else is coming or what i can buy right now :|
and also i was thinking of getting an tegra k1 tablet !
++ i like the device to get dangerously easily rooted :|
sorry i already posted this on the wrong forums :S

i thought i would get like 1000x replies by now
