[Q] Moto g or s5 clone (i have disability/need help) - General Topics

Hi all, i only just joined this forum this second (so didn't know where to post this on here, sorry)
im in London uk
please bare with me as i have a bad illness im battling
ok in short ive been very very unwell for 13 years (very long story,but i was basically bed bound 13 years)
i used to be into tech etc but now have a disability (im not as bad as before but still bad)
anyway i got my first flat over a year ago and at end of year had a £1000 phone bill (talktalk land line) it was cause my illness im not thinking straight
anyway in short im not going to use the landline EVER AGAIN!
im going to get a pay as you go 3sim (321 its called)
but i need a mobile phone and have been told to get a moto g 4g version
BUT i really want a samsung s5 clone but dnt know where to buy one
i dnt want to get ripped off,i dnt have the money for a real s5, but im wanting to buy the best s5 clone their is going if poss?
any help please , or should i just get a moto g
also ive NEVER had a smartphone in my life so where could i learn about how to use them and what can be done with them etc
also do they need any security installing on them? as on my laptop i use avast and malwarebytes
also i heard dnt buy fake phones as most have malware/spyware deep in the phone that send personal info to chinese servers
is this true?
please remember i have a disability so find it hard to learn (but trying) i dnt know if this is the best forum to ask these questions,if not could someone tell me what forum to use
thankyou
p.s as im in the flat most the time would it be best to turn wifi off when i go out incase it costs money
as i heard to only use smartphones with a router and not outside as it costs alot of money
i know this seems odd its just ive spent £1000 on a phone bill and never want this to happen ever again
also is talktalk cheapest broadband in the uk?
also i dnt want a landline,although i guess if i never ue the landline to make calls this want happen again

Sony Experia X1 Wanted!

If any one has a experia x1 for sale £400 or less let me know i have found a few of then the cheapest i could find is £395 so anything less than than or around it im open too. Also i have a few questions about this phone; does it have themes? and is it better than the t-mobile G1, thanks ...
You can't really ask if one phone is better than another, its a matter of opinion (and what needs you have for the phone.) The two phone you are asking us to compare don't even have the same operating system.
hmmm...
OK well then if they dont have the same operating system which one is better in terms of internet speed and connectivity and stuff....?
even thats a moot point because for instance the n=nokia n95 and the htc tytn 2 have bluetooth 2.0 meaning they work at the same speed now if you need to know internet speeds i suggest looking up the phones you would like to comapre using gsm arena.com and seeing which has the better conections
so if you look at the HTC G1 specs
and then the Xperia x1 specs youll see they both have HSDPA up to 7.2 mbps
but then this means you have to make note of which of the cariers in you area ca do the fastest speed for instance were i live i can only get a weak o2 2g signal but a HSDPA signal from orange
I have both for sale in perfect condition.

Kevin. [email protected] 651-324-1177 us cell phone number.
ooo lots of information
To jayjay8585 - thanks that helps alot because i wernt sure whether to go on orange or O2 to get this phone because instead of buying it unlocked i might just get a new contract instead so this helps me alot for the purposes of my decision can i ask in what area you live because if its far from my area your information might not be as much help.
To kevinrirvine - thats about £379 which is the best price so far so thats good and i want the phone in black so that is also good but i might be getting a new contract as i said before but that is not for definite so im intrested in the phone i will email you and update you thanks. btw what about postage and packaging?
thanks omg the websites helped so much because they had the same information comparison and i have come to the conclusion that the xperia is better in general so thanks that helped soooo much
I won't know this until i know your location etc?

Postage and packaging I cannot give you a clear idea of until I know your are serious and sincere about this, sounds like you are undecided, and I also need to know your location to get accurate shipping and handling charges. I will only charge you what fed ex or ups charges me rest assured. Please remember this is unlocked so no contract is necessary which is A BIG PLUS I BELIEVE. PLEASE E-MAIL ME DIRECTLY NOT XDA IF YOU ARE TRULY SERIOUS AND I AM SURE WE CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT. TAKE CARE, KEVIN
here's the situation...
o ok i understand it should be about two weeks at the most till i have decided what i am definitely doing because i have a LG Viewty at the moment and it has been sent for repair so if they give me a new Viewty i will sell it and buy the phone off you if they manage to fix it and return it to me i will have to end my contract i have now and buy the x1 brand new from o2 or orange. so thats the situation and i will email you asap, thanks
Im still open to better offers for the x1!!!!!!!
if anyone can beat $550=£379 let me know i doubt you can beat that its a good price for an amazing phone but if you think you can let me know....

I feel like you are undecided and still even after my unheard of offer trying to find a lower price. I don't have time for this game playing AND SINCE YOUR NEW TO XDA YOU SHOULD NEVER START A THREAD SAYING I WANT TO BUY THIS NOW AND THEN TELL ME OR ANYONE OH BY THE WAY IT WILL BE 2 MORE WEEKS AND THEN I STILL MIGHT NOT BUY FROM YOU. THINK ABOUT IT FROM MY END IT IS NOT FAIR. PLEASE KINDLY LET ME KNOW 100% BY TONIGHT YES OR NO TO THE DEAL FOR I COULD EASILY SELL FOR $600-700USD YET AM TRYING TO HELP A FELLOW XDA'ER OUT. THE CHOICE IS YOURS. REGARDS, KEVIN

What phone do you suggest <$100?

Hey guys, so I'm in the market for a new phone..my Titan is giving up the ghost in the way of keyboard un-responsiveness and I really want Android..
I'm currently on Metro PCS (and plan to stay..$35 a month after tax with unlimited everything is hard to beat) and I was wondering what phone would be a good fit for me.
I'd like to not go through the hassle of trying to get the esn added to the network so a phone where it can be changed (like my Titan) is a must.
I don't mind if the phone doesn't come with android loaded already as long as there is a fully functional android rom that I can load it up with.
Lastly, I don't really want to go over $100 for a good used one so that probably narrows things down quite a bit, but if there just isn't anything that fits the bill then I can work in some wiggle room.
Anyway, hopefully you guys can help me out..
Thanks for any info!
get the htc hd2 there any where from 99.99-350.00 usd at the moment
Sweet, thanks for the advice, I'll check it out..
Edit: so the cheapest I could find it was $150 on craigslist but that was an old post so it probably sold at that price. I wasn't able to find any info concerning it and the Metropcs network. There are probably just some basic settings that I need to get it onto the network though.
Keep the suggestions comin!
Anybody out there?
So...was this a really bad question?
Maybe someone could give me some pointers on what the right questions to ask would be..

[Q] Should I buy a Riff box

Over 4 million members and not one comment ?
so I have realized my question was stupid and decided to spend my hard earned 200 Euro on A new Droid. If I brick it then I might buy the Box. original post below.
Hi, i have came across many hard bricked phones in the past and not once met anybody who owns a Riff box. has any of you guys bought one?. can it do more like network unlock phones?. as it costs a fair bit of money I would like to get some use out of it and maybe some money back. its a big step in my little world but i am seriously considering buying one. any information would be much appreciated, Thanks.
If I have posted in the wrong place or asked the wrong questions I apologize.
I am not a developer I'm just a ball bouncing Noob. (yes I did watch the video)

[Q] What to do with bricked phone?

(I hope this is the right forum to ask this in) Alrighty everyone first off I have no hope of saving this thing and I have no intention to do so. So from here what do I do. I have an LG optimus L9, T-Mobile is my carrier and I have the Jump plan offered by them. Im in need of a phone (who isnt now a days) So it looks like I have a couple options...call them...tell them I lost the phone see what happens from there. Or tell them there was a hardware error (Both of these options are covered by the Jump plan) I dont know if they check to see if the phone has been rooted if I sent it in because that would probably void everything. Or I could try and upgrade phones to a different one. The main thing is I was making payments on this phone and don't know what to do with that. I only want to be paying one phone off. Thank you very much for reading through all this, if you have any suggestions on what to do please let me know!

Thought about getting it repaired by a technician? Just google for it. If you give it to your carrier they'll mind you or someone have modified it. I really can't advice you telling 'em you lost it, cause that was criminal acting i suppose.

[Q] Buy it now or wait?

Hey guys,
Just like all of us I want this phone, I haven´t got an invite yet but im patient and im sure we will all have recieved one by the end of the month.
The question I have though is if I should buy this phone now or wait for future flag ships?
I currently have the LG Optimus G, its not the newest phone but it doesnt lag and does most of the things I want it to, the main reason why I want to sell it is because I still get money for it now but in a year I wont. (Also the short battery life and bad camera - debatable)
My plan was to sell the Optimus G (on ebay they go for around 150-200€) and then buy the One with that money basically so I would have a brand new smartphone for "100€"
Is it worth it though? The One has killer specs and even though I prefer the LG3, the price blows it out of the water but with 4k screens coming etc, is it maybe worth it to stick with my Optimus G and wait until next year for some new releases?
I hope someone can help me make my decission.
Thanks guys!
Only you can make this decision, take time to read and research and form this opinion on your own as other do not know what you desire, as a similar thread already exists http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1620179 - and as XDA is not a support site, this thread is closed.
