Hey members of XDA,
I wanted your help in buying me a phone. I'm currently using my nexus prime and xperia mini. So, i want to replace mini with a phone within 300$ or about Rs. 16k. Helps would be appreciated :victory:
At that price the best you“ll find here in India is the Galaxy Nexus that too only via unofficial sources.
You can also have a look at Optimus L9 or Samsung Galaxy S Advance.
Or an atrix2 by motorola. ( I'm not sure if it's still available). If you are into the custom kernel and stuff, ignore this. It's completely locked. But development is going on with same stock KERNEL.

I Was suggesting him according to his budget.
We don't have contracts here in India, so we pay full money like you would of you bought an unlocked version.
And s4 would cost nothing less than 35k INR (700$).

he mentioned the nexus prime in the OP
I do believe the Nexus Prime was the Galaxy Nexus before the official announcement.
For 300 dollars you could probably get something like a Galaxy S2 or a HTC sensation

Well i don't want another nexus as i have a prime. So, earlier when i was on low budget i thought about going for xperia j or sola or HTC sesire X. But now as i have an increased budget i was looking for the xperia s or the sl. Galaxy s2 is a bit outdated ( no offense ) And as for s3 it's quiet expensive for my budget ( being around 30k ) and as for s4 it's gonna be around 35k-40k. Which is an outrageous amount for a 10th standard student like me :crying:
Thanks for the replies :good:
Go for a Xiaomi Mi2.

With 300$, I think you should buy Xperia S
Arc S for sure
Arc s isn't getting a jb update whereas xperia s is. So i might go for s or p!

1) Jelly Bean update!! The most important thing! I'm so annoyed by flashing JB roms on my current devices. So many bugs but still developers are working hard on these roms.
2) Camera. I need a camera capable of doing Full HD recording.
3) GPU to play games like RR3, MC4 or Nova 3.
4) Battery Backup. I currently last about 9-10 Hours with the way i use my device. I'm constantly on whatsapp and Kik!
5) Screen size is not an issue but above 3.5 inches.
Thanks for the replies

UCBROWSER is hands down the best browser for android ever
why? you might ask
1. its only 4.5 MB for the HD Tablet version (google chrome is like 30 MB)
2. it redirects all your browse to a high speed server
3. its FREE. and never ask's you to rate it or like its facebook page or donation, etc.
4. it only takes like 10 mb of RAM considering google chrome takes from 35 to 750 MB of RAm, thats pretty good, look at screenshots below
5. it download videos straight from youtube witch is against teh market terms
6. It has orientation lock
7. and it has a picture of a squirrel as the icon :laugh:
HERE are the screenshots. And Tablet Hd APK is below becouse it goes best with the S4
nah nothing on earth beats AOSP browser...

Cuz AOSP Browser working superior smooth as i7 extreme.
Thanks for the heads up but flawless text reflow is a requirment for me and this one cant provide it. Not so sure whats so special about AOSP though, I find it decent but nothing to write home about.
Does it support flash?
no. but it opens videos on mostly every site (youtube) lol

NOPE.
it turns out that after they got more users that had to cancel that service , what a shame
Anyone here tried Puffin? It may not be the best android web browser for everyone but it sure is faster than any other browser. It plays flash too.

Hello, download running not good. View times broken after 80%. Somebody have same Problem?
As for me in my i9505, I use the AOSP Browser from Cm10 and Puffin Browser. For downloads, I use the downloader that comes with ES File Manager. No problems encountered so far

UC Browser is lagged. AOSP is cool
Enviado de meu GT-I9505 usando o Tapatalk 2
AOSP for the win. With quick controls and fullscreen I'm flying through pages and menus.
So far, I've been the most happy with Boat Browser. I like the functionality of it, but sometimes clicking on the links don't load. I have to long press the link, open it in a new window, and then close the other window.
Other than that, it's been a good browser.
where do i get aosp for i9500?
Hi guys!
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S 4 Google Edition phone because I was excited to mod it. I'm new to modding, so I've been despretly searching this forum for help about custom ROMs, but there doesn't seem to be any.
Why isn't there a device subforum for the google edition phones?
When will the google edition phones be supported by cyanogenmod, paranoid, etc.?
I love this device, it runs fast and I haven't had a single app crash or freeze, which is something that killed my experience on my previous phone, the Galaxy S 2 (Hercules).
Thank you for your time!
You paid $600 just to put another stock based ROM on top of it?

It is a good idea. I wanted to buy Moto G, but it was too expensive. Next time I'll have to choose a smartphone more carefully. Do you know something about the modified ROMs?

One time i was too cheap to buy good phone, i bought Huawei u8180, this time i had more money, i bought this phone, and in store i tought, oh, this one is better than that, its good phone, but actualy its piece of crap. Moto G plus is, that Motorola give updates so fast, and they are very stable. For comparising, samsung does not give updates at all. What a piece of sh** company. -_-
We must wait for CyanogenMod, but unless unofficial or othed mods. Damn it!

Me too bro, i dont understand, how this big company DOES NOT support cheaper devices.
I think Samsung want to increase a sale. They want just to have profits and force us to change telephones.
@The_Rencis
I know something about Omkar$'s ROM, but it isn't probably stable.
@friendfriend
I heard something Google doesn't want to make new Nexus.

Panie Michale,
Nie posiadam informacji o przyszłych aktualizacjach. Ze swojej strony sugeruję systematycznie sprawdzać stan aktualizacji w menu telefonu:
Aplikacje --> Ustawienia --> Aktualizacja oprogramowania --> uaktualnij, bądź poprzez połączenie telefonu do programu Kies poprzez kabel USB.
Link do niego zamieszczam poniżej:
http://www.samsung.com/pl/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP
Korzystając z okazji, zachęcam do odwiedzenia naszej strony internetowej: www.samsung.pl.
Znajdują się tam nowości w ofercie produktowej Samsung.
Z chęcią udzielę odpowiedzi na ewentualne następne pytania.
W przypadku dalszej korespondencji prosimy o skorzystanie z formularza kontaktowego na stronie: www.samsung.pl, zakładka ‘kontakt z nami’, ponieważ bezpośrednia odpowiedź zwrotna na ten email nie dotrze do naszych konsultantów.

All is cheap for Samsung.
No matter which manufacturer we'll choose as long as we'll buy cheap devices we'll not find any fw upgrades - that's the truth. Sony supports devices only for a year, when you're buying LG you're aware that it will definately not get any upgrade. Only Nexus has guarantee of ugprades because it is Google.
I heard that Google is forcing now manufacturers to upgrade ALL devices no matter if it's low/med/hi-end but when will it force it? nobody knows....
For now(I think) we should try to build working kernel with additional governors etc. so we have base to start modding. KitKat requires 3.x kernel, we have one so there is still hope that at some point of time someone will build working CM/AOKP/AOSP/Paranoid KitKat ROM.
CM is coming soon maybe a week or month
Looks like we can't count on Samsung, nothing suprising about that :/ I'm starting to miss my old Sony Neo V, huge dev base, I could replace rom every week/month with a new one, good times. My lesson for the future - at first search xda forum, then buy device... Core is just DEAD.
Hey there,
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (octacore running Android 5.0.1) and one of my friends has a Samsung Galaxy S3 (quadcore running Android 4.1.2), also rooted. Yesterday we met and thought of putting them to a test. So we used Haxplorer to search a random number (the same number on both devices) in a random game, and what we had noticed was that the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 was way too much slower in finding a result than the Samsung Galaxy S3, infact it was about 5x slower!
Now my question is, does anybody know why this happens? I know that the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is way above the Samsung Galaxy S3 in specs, but still every time we try we get the same result. I also tried restarting and force stopping all other apps and still without even doing any of those to the S3 it just beat my Note4 by the mile!
Please someone explain to me how this is possible! If any more information is needed please ask me to provide you with anything.
