Gonna have about $300 to spend to get a smartphone off of eBay. Really tired of my Nokia Lumia 928, and wanting to go with something better. I was thinking the Galaxy Nexus because it's super cheap but I feel like it's kind of outdated. Verizon phones only please. Thanks ya'll
Personally I think the galaxy s4 is a great phone. Samsungs first really solid phone. It's fantastic stock, and has a lot of options for modding if you wanted. If you jump on swappa, there are plenty of great-mint condition for less then 300.

Also try and find one with a baseband MDK, if at all possible. There are infinitely more options for custom roms with that baseband version. But even if you can't there are still good options for custom roms using SS.
HTC One M7 "electric blue" exclusive at Best Buy is a mere $150, no contract.

title says it all. since its different from the galaxy s because it lacks a 3g radio, the roms and such would have to be different.
Am I the only person who thinks that this is a good Idea?
can someone at least give me a reason why not??!
That idea is no good... buy a wm phone and get back to progress

that makes no sense.
the galaxy s wifi looks amazing.
I give up.
I guess no one else cares.
WOW this is an OLD post.. But woot.com had this Tablet for $169 last week and I am pretty sure there will be lots of demand for info on it.
I think it should get it own forum..
That and they were finally announced in the US as the Galaxy Player (Oct 16, 2011). I think the ones on Woot were being dumped because they were too Apple like or something and maybe they redesigned it a little, who knows. That would make sense given that they were announced forever ago but never went on sale (due to the Apple litigation?). They appear to be the same device minus gingerbread and the big "Apple button".

So yeah I think people are going to start asking a lot of questions about them. I did pickup one from Woot and now I'm looking for Root/GB Rom.

Here's root I guess, haven't tried it yet:

I'd like to second the motion of a forum for this .. well as it doesn't have a phone I guess it's not a phone, and it's not really big enough to be a tablet, so whatever
It's pretty cool, I had a play with one today. It's basically like an oversized AT&T Infuse (5" screen vs. 4.5") without phone/4G at about half the price. I'm tempted to get one. I'm always near wifi anyway, and could get a cheapo Nokia for the little I actually use voice.
I hope one of the cooks will cook up a nice ROM for it. If Lite'ning Rom was available for it I'd buy it right now!
Actually I got an offer I couldn't refuse ($265 USD) and bought it. Hope Lite'ning Rom becomes available at some point in the not too distant future.
I would also like to see some work done on these.
Bump? There is already a Galaxy Note forum. Why not the Galaxy Player?!
I don't think anyone reads the requests here. Try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18767955#post18767955.
I admit I was a stupid stupid man and jumped ship and went from a samsung phone to an "LG Thrill" on my last ATT upgrade (because it was free) and now I know why......... I will never own another LG phone as long as I live!!!!! What a POS that was. It is so bad ATT doesn't even want the Thrill back!!!! And it works other than the fact it sends calls straight to voicemail 3 out of 10 calls......Just wanted to say I am glad to be back somewhere that everything makes more sence and the mods have it going on.............Peace
Glad you're back , so ?
Welcome back.
LG often makes phones with such good specs, but their software is a disaster. It's tough to beat Samsung nowadays.
Its all preference. My sister has had 3 and no problems thus far. I like phones with high popularity because of the mods. That's why I got a Sammy. Really want the next nexus device, without even knowing the details of course. But they always have great developers and I love cm. I'd get a lg phone if they made one worthy.

Not to mention that nexus devices will almost certainly always get early ROM updates

Back on the LG phones though, they're ok; not as good as Samsung, but adequate and good build quality. My wife left her P500 on the boot of her car, it went flying when she went around a corner and hit the sidewalk at pace. And it still works just fine afterwards
How come there not a lot of ROM development for this tablet even the 3g version doesn't get that much.

My guess is that it's a hefty price for a tablet that got a lot of bad reviews. Even though it is IMO the best tablet on the market. I think after the holiday season (when prices drop and official jelly bean is out) things will pick up a little bit more.

Bad reviews because they cant get the point of the tablet...
Compare this with an iPad is just stupid
Yea I hope the development picks up when jelly bean comes out. I had the iPad and its good in its own ways but hate the boring ui, I just picked up the Note 10.1 and I got to say I love it,the screen is not as good but everything is great. I saw a couple of people flash the 3g roms on the WiFi version is that safe to do.

I purchased this tab on Saturday, rooted and put chrack's Rom on that a few WiFi only owners were running before he made a WiFi version, it might be best to check the thread of a Rom and see if a WiFi user took the plunge and applied it.

I also assumed there would be a lot of development on this tab as it seems very powerful, but I guess people don't switch tabs as often as phones. I'm thinking of returning this tab to bestbuy & then purchase at Costco which has a 3 month return policy, if nothing picks up by then I can switch to the latest tab.
I think the reason that development is slow for this tablet is probably because of the reasons of the critics' reviews, the price, and the Nexus 10's arrival. Probably the combination of the first two was already bad, but the Nexus 10's price and screen has taken a big share of what should be this tablet's limelight..
Unfortunately, I guess most people don't care enough about the stylus to get this tablet over others, but I am glad I made the jump despite hesitating because of the reviews .

if you want performence and a great camera, i would go with Either a M7 or m8 (htc one) with root it depends on what carrier you have i think since verizon locks their bootloaders i dont know if the m7 or 8 on verizon has been rooted.
i also think nexus 6 xD is worth waiting for
Nexus 6 looks very nice.
nexus 6 has a 6.0 inches display..too big for me ...the final decision at the moment (i might change my mind in awhile ) is between S5 and Z3 (compact or not?)

My opinion S5 all de way!!
I think better GALAXY S5
It's totally your choice.
LG G3 has QHD display and a decent battery life, buy this phone if you watch movies, play games and surf a lot. It also has one of the best mobile camera. Lolllipop update has been started rollung on both the phones buy The GalaxyS5 if you want a phone with Samsung legacy, TouchWiz, fingerprint sensor(cheated right) and water resistance(cheated too).
But I will suggest you Nexus 6, since you will get new updates earliest and it also has upgraded chipset:thumbup:

You can also have a look at the One Plus One, it has all what you need. It has the Cyanogen OS, so it is filled with tweaks. It has a decent camera and a good battery life. Plus it is cheaper than its counterparts.
Hit thanks if helped
wondering what the best way to root for my sprint galaxy s5 ? I do not have a working computer right now, and I've already tried towel root, and installing cyanogemod 12.1 from my Sd card, any suggestions ?
