Hi everyone, (I know its not really the good section to ask this but the topic for this seems to be dead ([Discussion] What's your next smartphone / What should I buy)
1. I'm looking for a new device since my Moto G 2014 as ended :/
I was very happy with it because I love to tweak my phone and the community around it was pretty decent. I like to have the choice to install rom I want etc...
Its the most important thing for me.
2. I can put more this time on the new device. (~300€)
3. I'm not against to buy a phone who have 1 or 2 years old until he is still decent on performance and again with a good community around it.
4. I was looking for a moto X 2014, nexus 5x, LG G3 (D855) but I can't find it anymore in shop :/
5. I tried to look what can I have for 300€ at this moment and I only see phone with disappointed soc on it.
So I think you have all information you need to maybe help me to find the one
PS: I don't care about quality of screen, battery life, sound, Photo etc... I just want to stay with a 5"/5.2"/(5.5"max) with good performance better than my old Snap 400 and be able to run some games.
Again thanks if you can help me.

That thread isn't "dead", it gets posted in quite frequently. You're being impatient, give it time, it's not like people are standing by to answer your questions immediately. It isn't anyone's job to answer posts here, everyone here helps voluntarily.

Don't consider my answer as a decision. Still you'll have to finalize.
My consideration is that, Samsung users are more similary there are lots of developers too when compared to HTC.
So i hope that would be a better choice, since you say that you used to play with things such as modding, tweaking, and using different roms.
Hit thanks rather than typing it now Free

I have a regular HTC One from T-mobile, and I love it. Its fast, good camera performs exceptionally well. The development community is amazing, and this phone is very active among the community. I've unlocked and rooted it as soon as i got it (when it came out like 7-8 months ago) and now theres even easier methods to unlock. By the way, currently HTC has the regular (sence version for all carriers) phone on Android 4.3 with plans to update to 4.4 by Jan and the GPE version is already at 4.4 so thats even better for the modders! Good luck!

Well i've been considering going back to developing for a few months, however a few things have been stopping me from doing this, but to keep it short: for now i'm going to do it as a hobby so i'm not planning on buying an expensive phone (as i don't own an android phone right now), my contract ends this week and i can get a new Moto G for around 72 euros which i consider is a great price. So here are my doubts:
Is the community good for this phone? I've wandered around its forum a few times and so far i have a good impression, but i'd really want to know the users opinions
Do you think it's worth it and i could take advantage of this phone? I personally think its a great phone for this as its pretty much stock and for what i've seen support is quite good, but i just want to make sure
Thanks a lot, and i know this questions might seem stupid but i'd really use some help

Yes, do it!
The community is big and nice, and the phone is very nice!
A big advantage is the nearly stock android.
Have a nice day!
The phone is in Germany always out of stock. I think many people bought this phone all over the world. So the forum will grow!
Do it! Please
The more developers the better
There are a lot of people with the moto g and if you can get it that cheap I really suggest you buying it.

Yes my friend! Do it!

Yes please do! This phone is amazing for the money. It's a snappy beautiful device. More roms would be fantastic!
Should be arriving next week or so, i guess i'll give a try at making a rom after a few weeks, really looking forward to this =) Quite an amazing phonee for the price
Great to see another developer getting onboard.
Really looking forward for your contribution.
Good choice! The Moto G is a nice phone for a low price, and one of the reasons I bought it is to try to develop for it as well Compiling CM11 for it as we speak.

Hehe, don't expect too much from me though. I'm a software engineer, but this is my first time developing for Android. I wanted to look at the code because my Moto G suffers from the dreaded RAM bug, and I have an idea what the problem could be. Hopefully I can contribute to getting it fixed
It's a great device for the price and it would be nice to have more and more developers going for it!

If you'll be doing it for ze donationz, better don't bother. Posting such a thread is hilarious.
I think It is one of the best smartphone today. It isn't expensive and it has good performance.

I dont recall mentioning donations at all, and if you knew my previous work on the Galaxy S you'd know i started without even the option to donate which i added later on after a few users asked me to do it, wouldn't have put a donation button if it wasn't for that, i don't do this for donations. I do this as a hobby because i find it fun, and it's quite satisfactory reading nice comments on work you've done (not that i have done any for the moto G yet anyway). I find it more "hilarious" you're calling a thread hilarious for such reason, if i wanted donations don't you think i'd go for a high budget phone where you could expect greater donations? The only reason i did this and i chose such phone is because i think for such price, a great base (aosp) i can learn a lot.
Not that i care about your comment anyway as it's based on bs, and saying it's hilarious says a lot about your sense of humour which i'm sorry, but i don't share it
Just wanted to clarify a few things, to avoid confusions, and i'm sorry if i offended someone with the answer but i just answered the same way as the way in which the post i'm replying to was.

Hello,
I finally got a z3 compact and don't want to brick it. I'm way new to this (read: virgin). I read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2920630 but that was a year ago and didn't tell me much anyway. I'm just looking for a good phone to learn/experiment on - I know there are many but if someone has any particular recommendations or could steer me towards a few that are more suitable, that'd be great. Also, if I should post this in any other forums or sites?
Thanks for any advice you can offer...

I'd recommend a Nexus 4. You can get one for very cheap these days, but it's still a competent device; nearly 3 years old but with hardware that outperforms the "budget" devices that cost more. There's a massive amounts of development, and it's practically impossible to brick. You might want to get a new battery for it though. It's not terribly difficult, but it does take some tools, patience, and confidence. A Nexus 5 would obviously be the better device, but it'll cost more.

Hi there. I'm in the market for a tablet. I have a short list of guidelines, just because I know there are so many options!
1. Would love for it to be less than $400, but I can be swayed if necessary.
2. Rootable without too much difficulty, as I'm still a novice (Last thing I rooted was the original One Plus)
3. Screen big enough to read PDFs on (I'm a DM for DnD so having manuals at my fingertips would be amazing)
4. Stable/fast
5. Decent battery life. I don't really know current battery technology, but would having it last a day be unreasonable?
6. Would be awesome if it had an SD slot
7. Capable of running emulators (NES-Wii quality, preferably, though I know Wii can be difficult so maybe just through GCN/PS2)
I've had the NVidia Tablet K1 suggested to me because of it's power and price, but I can't get a solid read on its battery life (And I would like to use the streaming feature but I have an AMD GPU). Is there an overarching opinion on the Nvidia tablet?
Thanks everyone. Apologies for the stupid questions. Just don't know a whole lot about any of this.

Regardless, that is where your post is meant to go. XDA frowns on making new threads to ask questions that already have a thread. Posting new threads like that takes up space that isn't necessary and makes for more threads for everyone to have to comb through when they want to find something. Keep the junk down and go post in that thread because when a Mod sees this thread they'll close it, then you won't get any replies.
edit 2 Sorry, I think this should have been in the Q&A thread? I can't see any option to move it there, or delete this post, and make a new one there. Sorry
Hey guys,
Have been looking on ebay at phones released around 2-3yrs ago for a new(used) upgrade from my current HTC ONE X... but I'm not familiar with all the smartphone tech, or issues, or what's decent/bad etc..
Originally I looked at the LG NEXUS 5X, then read it's got a fault that causes it to fail/Bootloop (eventually). Few people said, there's other phones in similar price range that would be better, though none suggested any (yet). Then I looked at the NEXUS 6P, but, I read again, these have a bootloop fault too ??
Are there any phones that have gotten a good reputation, probably 2014> that still perform well today, but aren't plagued with hardware faults? I don't mind if I have to repair / reflash firmware etc.. as one reason I look at ebay, hope to pickup a phone for cheap (due to broken.. ie screen, not starting up), then fix it.
Price range, around $100, but obviously price for phone will vary depending on phone and condition etc..
[edit] I should have noted, I'm from Australia, so phone prices vary here. Maybe, if you can, throw some suggestions my way, and I'll look around based on what I can spend.
Suggestions on what to look out for ?
Thanks in advance,
