Hi:
I have the Samsung Galaxy Note IIs on Verizon running Android 4.1.2. I want to upgrade but have several questions. Mainly, I want to keep verizon as my carrier but want easy root capability and I have been sorely disappointed with the Samsung camera and those annoying blue dots i low light.
Currently, I understand there is no root if I upgrade my Note2 to the most recent version through Verizon, so the field is wide open for suggestions.
Things that are important to me.
I use my phone as a camera so I want a decent one.
I use my phone for navigation, both on land and water so GPS/battery is important
I use my phone as a hotspot using Foxfi. (I have the old VErizon unlimited dataplan and don't want to lose that.
Thanks!

Switching over from Sprint to Verizon in a few months, and I was wondering what advantages/disadvantages the Galaxy and Nexus lines of phones have in comparison to each other on Verizon's service, as in a few months i will be on the hunt for a new smartphone. Can some of you nice folks list off some of said advantages/disadvantages from experience?

Sir, there is a thread in place for your topic, please use it, thank you & thread closed.
So my GNex is getting long in the tooth and I'm thinking on a new phone. I am grandfathered into VZW unlimited data and run the house off of it to the tune of around 50gb/mo. I was looking at the Galaxy S4 (I do like Samsung) but it seems pretty darn locked down in regards to being able to run custom ROMS on. Any input on what else I might consider? Obviously to keep my current plan, I'll be buying my next phone on the open market ...
There are 3 threads devoted to discussions about devices, please repost your question in one of these three threads: The what should I buy thread or the The Device Suggestion Thread or the The Device Comparison Thread.
Thanks!
Hi Guys,
Recenty went on a rooting binge with my tablet and Note 4....Started on my tablet, now that is fully rooted, i got the bug to do more!
Sadly, my note 4 wasnt able to obtain root (5.0.1). picked up another note 4, which has 4.4 and i can gain temporary root, but this lasts for only an hour or two, and sometimes doesnn't work, causing multiple restarts or crashes...
That being said, i have seen the G4 is rootable, anything else new that i should look towards? Suggestions are welcome
And no, the $700 developers edition for the NOte 4 is not an option thanks,.

Dunno if this is in the right section but I have an opportunity to get a Samsung galaxy s5 or a Samsung galaxy note 3. I currently have the s5 on loan from my friend but want to know from your guys experience which phone you guys like better as I am in need of another used phone. (Long Story why I can't get a new one). This phone must last me a few years or more.

Why is it that Sprint phones (S6 Edge+), (S7 Edge), always have a hard time getting Rooted? Or the fact that when ya'll, (Developers), do figure out a way to root or cone up with Roms, out of no where you "jump ship" or don't come up with a decent Rom that actually works? I thought a challenge was what ya'll looked for. I'm not being mean, just wish i could root my S7 Edge that i bought from Sprint and put an awesome Rom on too. Ya'll never respond to my messages anyways, so i doubt i will EVER hear anything about this...
