So, I'm in the market for a phone soon since UPS lost my Nexus 4 and I put insurance on it. I want something as big as the note but I want all the good stuff on it, SD Card, 1080p and mainly Upgradability. I'm thinking Note 2 or Optimus G Pro. Anything else out there? I'm on Tmobile btw and I like the LTE not HSPA+. My limit is $400

The Note 2 is awesome - pretty much everything else you stated, and of course the proprietary samsung apps. But the best piece of advice I can give you, go hands on before buying! Hope this helps

What about the Samsung galaxy Mega 6.3? Has 1080p,Micro SD Card and has LTE around the $400, But it's a little bit bigger than note 2 (~0.8 inch)
The mega only has a dual core though

That's a problem since 400$ is quite low nowadays.
Since the new phones cost around the 600$ except the Nexus 5 which is 350$ but doesn't has a SD card Slot.

Weird !
The Skyrocket HD seems to have been taken off AT&T's device info list????
Any one else knows anything more???
Was going to buy it !! So am desperate for info !!
Thanks.
I would say they are saving that space for the sgs3. They already have an HD phone with similar specs to the skyrocket HD. The one X probably took it's place.

The top of the line At&t phone right now in terms of performance is the HtC One X.
8960 1.5ghz dual core with andreno 225 graphics. Faster than anything out right now. But it has some major drawbacks.

The built in 16gb of memory, is probably a micro SD card built into it. There have been other phones in the past that have done this.

I played with the One X and it "feels" much better than the skyrocket does in my opinion. I'm probably going to get it next week and let my wife use my skyrocket. Of course this depends on what Samsung announces tomorrow. If the AT&T S3 has the same screen as the galaxy nexus and the same Snapdragon S4 SoC as the One X then i would take the One X over it because the screen on the One X is the best screen i've ever seen on a mobile phone period. I also found that even the demo units in AT&T stores performed much better than my skyrocket tweaked out at it's best. I *hope* the Galaxy S3 comes with a better screen than the galaxy nexus plus expandable memory, etc. I also hope it's as sexy as the One X. but most importantly I hope it comes out relatively soon cause I don't want to wait 4 months for the AT&T version to come out. rather just get the One X.
Either way I upgrade phones every 6-9 months anyway.
edit: Also want to add that the camera on the One X is REALLY nice. it matters to some people but not to others.
I advise anyone who hasn't to check out AnandTech's THOROUGH review of the AT&T One X at http://www.anandtech.com/show/5779/htc-one-x-for-att-review/1

Maybe I'm just ignorant because I've only had devices with removable batteries, but this seems to be a major problem for me.
I'm a habitual rom flasher, so I know boot loops happen (sometimes quite often). How does one completely turn the phone off if you can't pull the battery? Or what else do you do?

Hold the power button for 10 seconds.
So, I have had my skyrocket for about a year now and I like it a lot, but there is one thing that is driving me nuts, the darn proximity sensor. The fact that it almost never works is enough for me to get rid of the phone. Since I haven't been able to find a way to fix that issue I am looking at getting a new phone. The Skyrocket was my first smartphone, I bought it used in excellent condition off ebay for $200 and I was using with Net10's BYOP plan. So if I am to replace it I would want something comparable in performance and cyanogenmod support. I am currently looking at an LG Optimus G, because it seems to be the best bang for the buck, being the only smartphone that I could find with a quad core that is less than $300. Specifically I am looking at buying this one.
So, this leaves me with two questions for you guys.
1) Is there anything I can do about the proximity sensor?
2) Is the LG Optimus G a good choice or is there something better in that price range?
As always thank you for any help and/or advice!

I was seriously considering that because of how awesome a deal it was, then I realized that there was no expandable memory. I currently have a 32GB uSD card in my skyrocket that is full with nothing but music. So 16GB wouldn't cut it.
That was a deal breaker for me too, and the non-remoavable battery.

Need? No, but I don't want to be having to change what I have on my phone all the time. If I want to listen to something I just want to be able to hit play. As for Google Play Music, being on Net10 AT&T plan I only have 1.5GB and I have already burned through that in 2 weeks before.

Looks like it works on bands 1, 3, 5, 7 and 8 - So it should be good for EE's current network in the UK (bands 3 and 7) and Three's (band 3), but not band 20 used currently by O2 and Vodafone. To confuse matters further, EE also own bandwidth on band 20, while Vodafone own bandwidth on band 7.
Long and short - I'd wait for an international version.

Its good phone. The textured back however is slippery. Not a good combo. The phone feels faster than my Note 3, however in benchmarks its not as fast. The camera is x 10 better than the note 3's specially in low light.

The G3 will most likely have the better specs of all 3. And it's their flagship phone.
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk
I can't see what else the G3 would have over this, unless the bump up the resolution to QHD and offer a micro SD slot. Also people think this is to big of a phone. Besides that, maybe a bump in pixels on the camera to help with marketing. Besides that, don't see anything crazy. Only thing I wish this phone had, was stereo speakers like the Z2 or HTC one. That and a bigger battery. Still an amazing phone and love where you can shrink the screen for one handed use... Love it!

I can't tell you how excited I am to hear the thoughts that this camera is not only better in low-light as well as overall than the note 3.
I am disgusted in the note 3's both auto focus and low light performance.
For me it the best device out there, but with Note 3 on the same height. Both have almost identical hardware specifications. I chose the Note 3 because of the awesome S Pen included and the software around it. I love to draw, and I'm a Draw Something 2 addict...so yeah, Note 3 was a better choice for my needs. The S Pen is incredibly accurate and the floating dot without touching the display is perfect for drawing
Bought one last week. Love it. But be careful of the 4.4.2 Ext SD access problem. If you rely on your Ext SD a lot and don''t plan to root your phone, you probably should look elsewhere or wait for a fix/update.

It's the policy of Google since Kitkat. Don't like it - don't buy it, that simple
Even all Galaxy like S4 or Note 3 has this "bug"
The apps can now write only to external_SD/Android/data/appname folder, but can read any files from SD. So devs must update their apps to comply

This is just one small example of why I never take otas these days..the updates cause issues and take away features it seems.

Hey guys tomorrow I may be getting a new smartphone and I was thinking if the LG Nexus 5 (16GB) is still worth it. The maximum I can afford is 350 euros. I'm not gonna pay more than that. I also have the option to choose between this one and LG G3S 8GB or LG G2 16GB. Which should I get and why? Thank you.
Out of those three get the Nexus, although if you can find one get a 32GB just for peace of mind. As for why, it's a Nexus so it's just better

There is no external SD card. You'd have to buy and otg cable ansbuab memory stick. You can then move sdcard data to otg using root apps such as folder mount.

Be careful when buying from craigslist IMO. I bought mine from a guy who posted his ad on craigslist.. worked for 2-3 days then it wouldn't work. it turned out the phone was stolen and got blacklisted at least in Canada.
I haven't had trouble on craigslist. If you go that route have the person meet you at your service provider so they can check the imei. Works for me.
Yuup! Totally worth it. I have been using a Nexus 5 16GB for about 4 months now. Although a 32GB version is recommended if u can afford it, since Nexus 5 don't have External Memory!
I'd take a 1+1
If you game a lot on your phone, get the 32GB.

Too late. But I'm still satisfied. 16GB is gonna be enough for me. I'm not an enthusiastic gamer but I do like to play sometimes. Usually if I get tired of a game I just delete it. I'm not into music so much, so songs don't bother me so much. A couple of apps wouldn't even get closer to 1GB (I'm not talking about gaming apps). I don't know about the typical sizes of kernels/roms but I think 16GB is plenty for my needs. Thanks.

The OS is about 5 GB so you`ll have about 11 GB of user space left.

Well, I'll learn to survive at the limit. In the future (2,5+ years later if it endures all the pain) I'll probably switch to N6 32GB.
The fact that the OS's size is 5GB sounds like a 'tricky scam' from the producers to me. The phone should have about 21GB total memory not 16 then.

Too late. But I'm still satisfied. 16GB is gonna be enough for me. I'm not an enthusiastic gamer but I do like to play sometimes. Usually if I get tired of a game I just delete it. I'm not into music so much, so songs don't bother me so much. A couple of apps wouldn't even get closer to 1GB (I'm not talking about gaming apps). I don't know about the typical sizes of kernels/roms but I think 16GB is plenty for my needs. Thanks.

I ended up cancelling the order lol. I had ordered an anti-shock protection as well for the N5 but what's interesting is that they'd bring them to me separately (two different transport packages lol - which is more expensive). I sent a message to them saying if they could bring those 2 requests together and they said no, they had to bring them separately. I ended up cancelling both of them.

I had one and sold it, couldnt deal with their bull**** system. So many bugs and quirks, granted its a new company, but not for me. Went back to the N5 for the stability.
