Well it's time for a new phone, wife wants one and as much as I love my current phone I want something with more developer support. While I do appreciate all the work the few people have been doing for the lg stylo 3 plus, I just eant something that will have more people working on custom roms and stuff. My wife just has a crappy 50 dollar phone and I have, as stated, the lg stylo 3 plus. We are on the Metro network so as you all know as long as the phones unlocked I can use it with Metro sim card.
So after that spew of crap, what phones does everyone recommend? I'm in no rush so if there is a newer phone coming out later this year feel free to recommend it as I would like to grab a newer model, but I'm open to all suggestions. The wifes not much of a tinkerer, but I'll change my rom 3 times a day, so the more support on here the phone has the better.

First of all thank you for taking questions. I am a verizon customer and have had the galaxy s3 for about three months now. I have had on and off reception problems since I got it but I was able to fix those problems with re-flashing os, but it is starting to become more of hassle and problem to have to do that all the time. More frequently now I lose signal and then get it back, every day this happens and I even missed calls from my family and jobs that I wanted to work for. Also it has not been only my phone but my wife's also, hers is even worse then mine and does that same problem every other hour now. I since have called verizon and talked to some nice support people about it and we went through the whole tech side and I have done everything possible to fix it software wise, so she reset the network to both of our phones but still no go. Now I have my first replacement for both of us and new sim cards in the mail.
update: I received the new phones and sim cards, everything was working well as I thought it would being the first time booting but after six hours the reception went hay wire, again.
My question to you is what steps can I take to getting a replacement phone that is not the galaxy s3. I talked to a lot of people and they have admitted that the reception was a problem with the s3 and that the Note 2 was built with a better antenna because samsung knew about the problems with the s3. I am a very nice person but I would love to have the Note 2 with the better reception. What can I do?
I did do a search, but the threads I found that appeared to be relating to this question were either incomplete or locked.
I simply can't afford to maintain my Sprint service any longer, and after doing some research, I found a plan that will work for me and that I can afford through Virgin Mobile.
I'm no phone hacking expert, but if given some clear instructions, I'm good at following along and getting the job done. I have rooted my phone a long time ago, set it up just how I like it, and it's working great on CyanogenMod.
Since I've already paid for my Evo Shift, and it would be a huge waste of money and more to buy another phone when I have a perfectly good one, I'd like to know, is there is a way to make it work with full functionality and capability on my new Virgin Mobile account?

It works 99.9% the same way as the OG Evo. As that thread says though, no one can help you with the C word.
Hi.
What kind of power we can have if we will make petition to Samsung software/developement team to do some updates of Android to our phone?
How many users are here that have this awesome mobile?
I always think is good idea to try than moan...
I e-mailed Yotaphone and asked if they would consider making a qwerty slider....
I think it would be beneficial if we all did the same.
It is not my intention, to find new device.
I am fed up going for new.
Old is good enough many times.
Our mobile is enough for emails, www etc. but the only downside is software.
It's not going to happen. Both the carrier (T-Mobile) and Samsung would need to agree that it's worth spending a lot of money to give this phone an upgrade. Given that both companies want you to buy a new phone every 5 minutes, neither of them want people to be satisfied with their old phone. And speaking of old, this phone is almost 3 years old and has a small user base. There are hundreds of more popular phones released between then and now which haven't seen updates, so no one's going to pay much attention to ours. The only way to get updates is to make them ourselves.
If we don't try - we will never know for sure.
How many registered users are in Relay section, can anybody check?

I'm still using mine, but it's really a secondary phone at this point. Given that the flex cable is this phone's Achilles heel, I don't slide the keyboard out very often, either.
lol. How about a few of you...
a) learn to code and help move the 5.x support forward,
b) donate a phone to a dev, since the two primary developers no longer OWN a relay (and both have mentioned that they would be willing to work on it if somebody donated a phone).

I would love to learn how to code but no one really has time to teach and i know there are plenty of guides but I'm afraid I'll kill my phone. I've already managed to kill my usb port, not from coding attempts, but nonetheless inoperable. As for donating, the relay is my only working t mobile phone so I don't want to give it up. I would, however would pitch in on one. From what I've seen they go for about 100 or so. I would like to be part of the solution in any way I can.
Another Relay user here...
Since this is one of the last good QWERTY phones around, figured it was time to stop just lurking this forum and sign up lol. I'd also be willing to test any new 5.x ROMs built, since I'll have an alternate phone in a couple of days that I can fall back to if I break this one.
I have a phone and I can code, however I need somebody who give me clue or some direction to follow. I've never coded for hardware, only business apps.
This one is not gonna be cheap, but if it runs android it will be amazing:

Wow! Extremely cool, man! Thanks for the info
I'm looking at getting a new phone pretty soon here, my current one is an iPhone 5s and I'm not excited about it. Before that I had a Galaxy S6 Active that I really liked until it soft-bricked itself. I have some experience with Android development in Java and Xamarin. When I get a new Android phone, I want to get back into development as I really enjoyed it. Using an emulator just wasn't the same for me as I couldn't show off what I made whenever I want and what not.
Recently I've been paying attention to the newer Android releases and the LG V30 looks pretty attractive. I like pretty much everything it has to offer, I just hope it will get updates fairly quickly and for a while.
But then I realized that there might be an advantage to getting a Pixel. I would likely be getting the Pixel XL 2 if I were to go the Pixel route. I like most of what I've heard about it but it just doesn't quite beat out the V30 for me.
So, here's my question: Does the up-to-dateness of my personal phone matter much if I plan on pursuing Android development? Is it something that may be better to pursue once I have a certain amount of skill first? Hardware aside, is an Android One phone the same as a Pixel?
Thanks, ZachZ

Hello All,
Im looking to get a new phone and seems alot of the chinese makers are stepping up there game. I currently have the iPhone 6s+ and like the look of the new iPhone X but not gonna spend that kind of money. So Ive been looking around for a good bezel less android based phone. I really like the Elephone U Pro but im from the states and it doesnt support alot of the bands here. It will mainly need to work for ATT/Cricket. I like the Xiamoi Mi Mix 2 but wanted to see what other options are out there also. Any recommendations on some phones that will compete if not beat current flagship phones that are way overpriced? Thanks!
