[Completed] [Q] Buying a phone.Help please - XDA Assist

I had G2(new) bought in march 2014 and flappy bird lagged badly for example and system also a bit,the battery wasnt great ,while today i tried the G2 in one shop and it dosent lag and i replaced the G2 with Alcatel Idol X6040 (used) and i was proud with it dont know why but even with that mediatec superslow processor i was happy until my screen broke in my hands because i was angry.After that i sold it and bought lumia 925 white and it looked so good ,but battery was awful even with hard reset and system change it was also overheating, i didnt like windows either no screen rotation lock in nofication pull til windows 8.1,also no option to set snooze duration to 3min ,explorer was crashing.Then i sell it and buy Galaxy S4 camera very good but batery there and there aceptable but system laged i tried alot of roms it started to lag more then stock even i tryed CM12 CM11 CM10 some stock based roms and tryed Google play rom but when i tryed my friends Glaaxy s4 same model it didnt lag at all.Then i sell phone and buy HTC ONE m7 (used) and i like all on it and software very much but the man that sold me that HTC ONE M7 (used) sold me with the purple camera problem and vibration was not working .Also camera is 4mpix and i really love good camera didnt know that it will be that bad.Now i dont know what to do i thoght about G2 ,but now i watch over internet camera is rear camera is bad as the front is i thoght it was just problem to my hardware then.Well then im now thinking to buy Motorla Droid Turbo(Maxx) that still dosent exist in my country and all loooks good on it im now searching internet does it have any issues Well now because it dont know should i wait i wanted to buy Z1 Compact white its really good looking and its compactbut camera isnt same as on Z1 even if it is same sensor battery is very good on that phone but im scared of self creaking screen that appears on Z,Z1,Z2,Z3while my dad has Z1 and Z and screen never cracked,if that wasnt right i would take it even if it has very poor flash and speaker and very non screech proof screen with that foil and back that is also not screch proof.Then i think about Lumia 1020 that has best camera but front is okand 2000mah battery that last not very long ,and awful windows even it dosent have normal lockscreen as android device and dosent have option to set alarm snooze time to 3min for example that i use on androidiThen i thought about Nexus 5 that has now ok camera not front its super fast and battery is awful but it looks very nice i like ruber like thing on back.And now i dont know what to do i wanted also M8 because i like HTC but that camera is super awful maybe im wrong about M8 i saw some samples that are good............On HTC M9 it will be 20mpix but the screen will be larger.Also i like more the design of m7 the m8 also i like silver more the gun metal.So whats your opinion? :good: Thanks

Had HTC one but on 3rd replacement have given up so getting s4

I have always bought Samsung for the last few years but thought of give the new HTC one a chance how I regret it
3 replacements and still have issues so I've thrown in the towel and arranged a replacement in a few weeks to the s4 so back to Samsung I come
Question one of the biggest things with the one is the speakers I presume the s4 will still have tiny speakers ?
Have Samsung sorted the emmc chip problem out as my note 2 died onme hence jumping ship
Tbh im looking forward to turning to Samsung just hope the handset is as good as people make out

check out the reviews thread. one of them has comparisons of the speakers. i have an S3 and it's not tiny. the S4 is supposed to be a little louder in some aspects so it'll be fine. prob not HTC One loudness but it won't be tiny sounding.
not sure about emmc. looks like it was sorted out back with the S2/Note 1. i'd suspect it would be fixed for S4.
edit: off topic, what was wrong with all 3 of your HTC One's?

Your name is familiar either with the S3 or nexus 4 forum.... Anyways
What was wrong with the One?
Might be time to change your signature, eh? "HTC one... Best phone I've ever had"

also the home / back button didn't work properly (and still the case on my 3rd replacement hence why ive thrown the towel in)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5ZBhJiFfjY
Second one which arrived - well what can I say !
Proximity sensor didn't work
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Otsa0_gkVI8
Back/home lights didn't work - presume down to the sensor not working
and it also had an horrendous screen problem where white glowed through because it wasn't sealed
I don't think ill get htc one speaker quality just don't want really low

man, that sucks. well, in the past i've had more problems with Sammy phones over HTC. S2 had a nickel sized ring on the screen that i didn't notice until after it was too late to send back. Galaxy Nexus had banding issue and when i sold it, it had been used for about 6mon and then off for a straight 6mon. turned it on and it had some bad burn-in lines. S3 screen has a few black splotches when looking at completely black screen in a dark room. had the HTC One X when it first came out and the only thing wrong with it was a loose volume rocker on the first one. second one was perfect but i just ended up not liking that device. so yeah, Samsung just typically has issues with it's AMOLED displays, pentile or not. also, the S3 i have is my 3rd one haha. first one had backlight bleed. second one had very loose power/volume rocker. this 3rd one has a loose power button but i gave up at that point and just said whatever. here's to hoping the S4 is perfect...
I imagine ever phone has issues when launched I can't think of one that has been great first time. Maybe the iPhone 4S I can't remember any glaring issues from that. But I have had problems with a lot of devices when I purchase them first off. I'd maybe wait for the S4 until others get it then see if it has issues. Not ever HTC One is a bad device either.

The speakers are twice the size of the N2 and three times the size of the SGS3. Here's GSMArena's conclusion after comparing the two...
Winner: HTC One. The Galaxy S4 is a tad louder, but the HTC One takes this one with well-positioned stereo speakers and far nicer sound in general.​

I had a Teg3 One X I got last March from the first batch built and it was perfect. But there were a ton of h/w and s/w releated QC issues and people on the forum weren't exactly happy. The One's experiencing them too and people saying "my third exchange seems to be better" isn't uncommon. HTC chooses incredibly complicated designs which look great but are a ***** to manufacture consistently. Beauty has its price.
My first SIII had a defect, the volume buttons were so loose that when the phone vibrated, they would rattle inside the device! Not that I'm going to complain too much about it, I kept it for almost the full 60 days I had to return it at Best Buy with Silver rewards membership, and I'm on the same one since August 2012....
One thing I wanted to mention in this whole discussion is.... who drops an SIII for an iPhone 5, after having the 4 and 4S? Hell, it's enough to switch between brands of Android manufacturers to understand how things work on the different phones, but between operating systems? That would drive me crazy, aside from the fact that even trying to use a locked down OS would make me want to throw that stupid thing against a brick wall!

Ye, you did the right thing by going back to samsung as the quality is perfect. No issues! Just that phones completly dying after about half a year.

Lol experienced that with my note 2 .... hence why I jumped ship however I regret doing that and cant wait for the s4
Just hope I don't experience the same with the s4 as im stuck on a 2yr contract
One bonus with Sammy is I have a proper repair centre 5 mins from me in Manchester and they sorted my Note 2 out for me
In the same boat, just called today and said I want to swap my contract to a GS4. I just hope I get a good one first time, Samsung have never let me down before. It is a shame though as I really wanted to like the One, I liked a lot about it, just the build quality was very poor and it was a dead/stuck pixel heaven on that screen.

I had a dodgy S3 on release, I was one of the first in the forum if I remember & I switch phone OS's loads. Doesnt bother me at all I could happily live with an iPhone or an android phone. I preferred the 5 to the S3 my opinion obviously but I'm using the One now and liking it
I've had 2 HTC phones and absolutely hated them both. Problems galore...
The GS4 is my first jump into a Samsung smartphone. All my other techy friends left HTC for Samsung and never looked back.
Crossing my fingers. I know that there are/can be issues with the first batch but I'm not letting HTC bite me in the ass for a 3rd time. This thread is proof that I can't trust them anymore, no matter how good the reviews for the HTC One are.
Sorry guys but my opinion about some of you is, that you are really bored and looking for something perfection that is not normal.
I don't mean that to serious problems like pixel errors or something similar serious problem.
I mean, that if you are satisfied with your phone and you probably find a little problem (like a volume key not being perfect or the unibody is 0,02 inch bigger on one side) you surely know that you can send your phone to guaranty departement if the tiny problem is getting "bigger".
Not just that. you post it big on forums to show how unhappy you are, but there is another star in the dark sky shining on you and you illusions.
Most people of this kind also don't have really good social contacts, like having a good girlfriend for example.
Please do not see this as an personal attack. It is just something that someone wants you to know, that you are not happy for real...

Xperia M2 - Will she fit YOUR bill?

Like in thread, write here what u expect from the Xperia M succesor, and do the things we already know about her (resolution,processor etc.) fit ur bill.
Soooo, let me be first.
On paper she looks quite nice, if she will be cheap enough (up to 300 dollars) im in.
Only thing that im worried about is her screen. I dont want to see xperiaSP quality screen here. This will be low/mid end device, and i shouldnt want too many from it, but still. I think that if sony will do quite good optimalization for it and they will give to her good screen (good, i dont need super mega hiper OMG screen) she will be good option to buy. Dont forget that now her biggest oponent is Moto G which has super performance, nice screen and she is quite cheap, so it will be nice challenge for M2.
Will it be a nice and dev-friendly phone? Write below

Soryyy, in my lang "xperia" word sounds like a girl
No coz shes price at over 20k
Probably not
It would fit my bill perfectly if only Sony chose to have a replaceable battery instead of a non-removable one. Considering that Android devices are hard on battery life, replaceable batteries is a must IMHO.
Man even the LG L90 offers more features than this phone at 16k but is officially priced at 20k
Press thanks :good: if I've helped :highfive:
What made me consider this brand in first place was having a Sony SW2, and pairing with a Sony handset allows me to use all the features of it, but when i read the spec sheet and found that between other things these handsets are the ones that have ANT+ connectivity that made my day. And €245 in Europe is a reasonably price for a Dual Handset.
I've been reading nearly everywhere that this phone has very low calling volume.
Is this true? Have many users experienced this problem??

Sure the price per feature is much lower there.
If you hold both phones in your hands the difference in build quality is glaring.

I got an M2, despite of being exactly the same opinion. It came with my contract. Lucky, I can report the M2 is quite ok in terms of battery life.
Here is my initial impression:
- acceptable battery
- screen is big but has lower end resolution
- light leaching on black
- relatively dim screen at factory setting, but still very well readable
- glossy housing is a PITA
- reactively heavy
- not nice form factor (as previous curved Xperias)
- not water resistant
- boot up animation is something for kids
- speaker sound is not as good as others
- sound could be louder overall
- loads of bloatware
- card slot cover flimsy, I am counting the days for it to drop off
- main button well articulated and easy to reach at the right location
- volume button to small and should be above the main button
- the nice LED on the bottom does not work, respectively I see it only working when changing the themes ... ?
Would it be so hard for companies to equippe phones with a rubber outside frame for basic drop protection? Why construct everything "throw away" style?
The volume buttons is in the same position as the Z2. If you look at Z2's power button you will be surprise at how convenient M2's power button is. The LED at the bottom also glows when switching songs in Walkman
After 4 days of usage
I found the biggest M2 annoyance is the greenish screen tint. The second biggest annoyance is the light sensor implementation. There is screen brightness pumping. I installed YAAB to correct that. I hope Sony can correct this with a software update (?).
LED at the bottom should be modded to be useful.
Glossy surface is also an annoyance. I ordered a rubber case.
Speaker opening at the bottom is exactly at the spot which I use to position my small finger to support the phone. Seal is perfect. That might be the reason why some people say sound being quiet.
The rest is quite ok. I
The screen tint and light sensor, all true. Also the camera, I often get yellowish shots ( maybe the firmware is the problem, reported to sony forum )
About LED, I agree with you that it should be modded to be of better use
I don't find the glossy back annoying at all
I am right now confussed B/W Xperia m2 and Htc Desire 700.Can you tell me from your experience about this phone Biggest Pros and Cons
By the looks of it, I'm quite satisfied with the phone. It darn fast, and I like it. Camera would be only cons I have so far, but everything else is good. As for camera, it's quite bad for the night shots, but good on the day shots.
Maybe it would bee too much to expect phone of this price to have everything perfect, so I don't mind the camera being bad. Battery is also good. It can last 2 days if phone is not used much.

Close to three days if I only use for mail, messenging, calls, and the occasional website.
Still close to 48 h with frequent navigation use.
That's certainly not bad compared to most other phones, but target should be 5 - 7 days.
The screen uses astonishing low power. This phone is sure good for travellers. The greenish screen tint gets unnoticed after a while, the camera is reasonable, 4.3 is not good.
I got an Xperia M2 yesterday, and I'm loving it. yes I do have the same sort of greenish/yellow screen tint, but I actually prefer this color reproduction to the harsh blue-tinted display of the original XM. The camera is also a massive improvement from the XM, and the device is quite more responsive. 10/10 worth it
Got mine a fewer days. I already have newer ones Xperia like Z1 and ZQ; a model made from Z1 to Brazil. The M2 at the first moment seems a compact Z2, like the design, the place where buttons are. Weight is good for the size, also it is thin. I think Sony could do a 5inch screen cause there are too much bars arounding the lcd or if they cut, made more a compact device, like they did with ZQ, made it perfect and confortable. The LCD quality is ok, nothing really to be glad like others Xperia but for a mid from Sony i expected more ppi, it has almost less 100 compared to Moto G. Also the glass i didnt like, keeps too easy dust and fingers prints and it isnt too easy to clean. Camera resolution is awful, i wont comment about the VGA cause dont worth it, so i couldn believe that Sony done that, even that old mobiles like Xperia ARC, X10, they have a much better cam. Really dont understand why Sony made such a dummbie phone. Now, the surprise is that came with and old 4.3 JB in times that we are already in 4.4.4 versions. The CPU is good, felt some laggys, nothing really bad but for a quad should make better operations. Volume sound is poor, even with headset, like the equalizer and the multiple options but unfortunatly these couldnt make sounds better. Finally battery isnt nothing especial, mine is with almost 18hours of good usage before a make a new charge cycle. Anyway, my opinions are based that already have the Moto G, a trully competitor and that made really good impressions.

HTC one m7 or oneplus one

I'm getting a new phone which one should i get?
suggest you to have M7. Since it is the flagship of HTC.
In their official website HTC said M7 and M8 will be updated with Android L, 90days after Android L has been released by Google. Awesome!
CyanogenMod said they was going to do the same thing. I'll say the OnePlus one if you can get one. I have one and I love it. I haven't had any problems with it since I had it.

M7 you won't have a yellow band on your screen
These are 2 very interesting choices, I have m7 and I would only swap it for One Plus One, out of all phones I would still prefer the m7, but I want to have bigger screen in a not so distant future.
Other thatn the screen size OPO is faster but both phones are really faster than any samsung, lg, sony you can name , in my opinion ofcourse.
After half a year with M7, I can name only 2 flaws,
1) The unlock button is a bit bad positioned and not clickable enough, easily solved with volume2wake , and gestures to lock the device, with sense toolbox.
2) The second mic for noise suppression is badly positioned so if you hold the phone on the shoulder while talking, the other side won't hear you well because you cover the 2nd mic behind the phone, in my experience this isnt fixable with anything.
And maybe 3) You have to check the camera before you buy the phone because many faulty m7 come with pink/red tint, really sucks if you get one.
Also I can say the sound is gorgeous, the screen is sharp, the build quality is top notch.
OPO should have good camera also, if you dont mind 4.7" screen go for m7, if you prefer bigger screen go OPO, both are great choices.

What do u mean by yellow band? And thanks for the suggestions guys I think I'm going to go with a opo because of the bigger screen and that awesome 3gb of ram lol.
OPO does come preloaded with cyanogen mode out of the box. So, no worries till Android M come out I guess. [emoji133]
Just wait, and buy the new nexus phone,

I have a Yu Yutopia. AMA

Hey guys,
I have a Yu Yutopia with me and I am guessing a lot of you must be having queries about it. Please feel free to ask them.
My initial impressions of the phone so far:
1) Really impressed with the build quality. The phone feels solid in hand. Even better than the OnePlus 2 if you ask me. Did not expect this at all.
2) I love the One glass solution, but the colors and saturation levels of the display are wayyy off.
3) The fingerprint scanner works reliably. No issues with it.
4) The camera app is a big disappointment. Same as the one found on the OnePlus One. Slow.
5) The rear speaker is a joke
6) The phone does heat up while gaming. Playing Asphalt 8 for a few minutes was enough for the phone to heat up.
7) Cyanogen OS 12.1 is buggy.

Software. Yutopia is very buggy. With the X Style, you will get quick updates. And Snapdragon 810 being more powerful than the Snapdragon 808 is not really a big deal since the former overheats a lot and quickly throttles down.

Missed touches, random freezes, inaccurate display. If you are fine with some major software issues, go for the Yutopia since your mind seems set on it

That's the problem. My mind is set on it. You told me moto x style which is expensive. can you recommend any other phone in this range?
Does this phone have the option to switch between on screen buttons to physical buttons like one plus one?
If not for physical buttons, what use of the big black bar at the bottom of the phone?
is it worth to buy in that price range???

It does not have physical buttons. The use of big black bar is nothing.

I think the price of yutopia is pretty good after seeing the specifications..
How is the battery backup, can you share usage stats. Thanks

First of all i am a YUTOPIA owner and have been using it for two weeks now.
The YU Yutopia is an awesome device if u go by its build quality. The All metal body,Integrated antenna bands, QHD screen and the Sound quality all screams the word PREMIUM!! A device worthy of its price. From the box it arrives in to the included components it is a well packed one.
The biggest con i felt is the OS. Cyanogen 12.1 has lots of potential, but the included one with the phone has lots of bugs.It has the january patch of android included though.Still there are some big bugs.
For instance, If the phine is charging and u turn the screen on (without unlocking) and keep it like that..the screen gets unlocked(even when locked with a fingerprint or a pin or a pattern) in five mins. so thats a major bug.
The camera focus lags in certain conditions and heating is present in some conditions. But these are all issues of CM 12.1 and not the phone. So it can be fixed in a future update i guess.
The pros of the phone include its build,quickcharge, massive battery and the screen. Its a delight to watch movies. The included House of marley earphones are of good quality. AudioFX with DTS is amazing and the sound is truly amazing when heard with this setting on.
i would say,if u are patient enough to wait for software updates, then this phone is worth every penny. Else u may go for one plus 2 which has no quickcharge and has the same chip. Heating is a SD810 issue and cannot be fully avoided in both phones. But that too is resolved to some extent by thermal management settings by YU. I guess it will be better once CM 13 based on MM is released.
The fingerprint issues also will be be solved by MM update as it s a native feature included in MM.
SO..the final choice lies with YU! :laugh::good:

Battery backup depends on your usage. If using 3G and continous use ( gaming, browsing,whatsapp etc) will get you around 14 hours. Else it lasts more on WiFi and easily lasts more than a day on intermittent use of 3G.
BTW..it has quickcharge 2.0 which will get u from 5% battery to 90% in one and half hours. The last ten % takes half hour.
wifi hotspot detection issue
Hi,
I purchased a Yu Yutopia yesterday and was initially impressed with the packaging and the build quality. While setting up the phone, I noticed that the phone was unable to detect the portable airtel 4g wifi hotspot. All my other phones like the One Plus X, Blackberry and Moto g1 were able to detect it but this phonewas unable to detect it. I tried making the one plus a mobile hotspot to check if it could detect my mobile hotspot and it seemed to detect it and every other wifi except this 4g hotspot wifi. I tried to factory reset the phone but it still shows the same issue and is unable to detect it. What do I do???
Please help me.
Its a piece of crap
my friend have this after 1 week phone got dead
I'm thinking to buy Yutopia. But can anyone share a video of it's LED Notification light with various colours? I have seen many videos but no impressed as I saw is only a tiny green light. Please upload a video of LED Notification light in use

Like Good at day & a Low quality at night or kow light
Laggy type.???

Need help

Hello guys i am a long time siny fanboy since the p990i till now rocking an m4 aqua which is a replacement for my z1 till the z5 fets a fair price ( 6500egp for a brand new one) so I am going to buy a used one for 4500(without warranty) but i am scared from the so called blur camera problem so i really need ur help for easily spotting this problem before throwing my money can any onw guide me how to spot it please
And sorry for my English
to be honest, I don't really care the so-called blur issue. Think about the circumstances you will use a phone camera: 1, ig or fb or tw, in that case most likely there will be a filter or a mosaic or crop on the photo, then small blur wont even bother. 2, very precious moment that you want to save, well in that case, most likely you will post it on ig or fb or tw, then fall back into circum.1.

Some research isn't that hard. It's easy to find more information about this.
For your own convenience, check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/general/im-doing-tally-z5-series-affected-left-t3242302
There are plenty examples with and without blur over there. It's up to you.
I bought the Z5, first device was faulty but I got it replaced and the second one has a bit blurry also at the edge but I just love this phone.
Ok last thing, where is the water indicator located at in the z5 ?
