I was contemplating on buyin HTC wildfire os SAMSUNG galaxy 3..
PLZ suggest which phone is better??
I require the phone for mainly msgin and net, with a little use fr watching videos and playin the odd games whn i'm bored..
If the galaxy 3 is as bad as the s with lag then go for wildfire
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
The Galaxy 3 has a 667 MHz processor.
The Wildfire has a 528 MHz processor.
There will be a really slight unnoticeable difference of speed when playing games.
Galaxy 3 has a 240 x 400 QVGA resolution.
Wildfire has a 240 x 320 QVGA resolution.
Both are the same size.
Galaxy 3 has a 3.15MP camera.
Wildfire has a 5MP camera.
So the Wildfire will take better pictures/videos.
Galaxy 3 has a Li-Ion 1500 mAh battery.
Wildfire has a Li-Ion 1300 mAh battery.
So Galaxy 3 will last a little bit longer.
Its just a choice between their appereance I would say, and the difference between Sense and what Samsung has.
I would go with the Wildfire though.
I tried many of my friends Samsung smarthphones, and they are nothing compared to a Wildfire.
I have both... the advantages of the Galaxy 3 are:
Screen - the screen on the Galaxy 3 has much better definition (higher res) but it is a bit smaller... I sometimes find it difficult to read without glasses lol. It definitely looks a lot better than the Wildfire's screen... especially when viewing webpages (don't need to zoom in as much for the font to become readable).
Processor - it's not that much faster but the phones does seem less laggy than the wildfire. Also skype works fairly ok on the galaxy but breaks up a lot on the wildfire. So there is a difference.
Advantages of the Wildfire? Well everything else lol. Faster 3G, better camera (has a flash too). WAY more custom ROMs to try out (unless you make the mistake of upgrading to the official froyo like I did :| ). The wildfire's screen is also bigger to it's easier to read without glasses. Oh yeah and if you are sticking with official firmware, HTC Sense is a lot more user friendly than Samsung's TouchWiz interface.
In the end I'm probably going to stick with the wildfire until I can afford a desire or something like that.
and the galaxy devices have lag issues (even my tab), and the htc ones are easier to update (OTA or RUU rather than KIES)
And the wildfire is useless at gaming. if you want gaming and dont mind branding and live in the uk look at the orange san fransisco / ZTE blade
Conclusion = The Wildfire fits your requirements the best.
Also, if this is your first ''smarthphone'' I would definitely go with the Wildfire, so much more user friendly like said above.

I have managed to get Angry Birds run pretty smooth.
And assuming he only wants to play ''odd'' games I'm pretty sure he doesn't mean the 3D games the other phones have.
I dont even bother on thw wildfire - thats why i have the tab

Rope cut works perfectly (cut the rope knock off haha)
Gameboid works well too if you are into old school, and furdiburb works great too. Furdiburb is my favorite pet raising game on android, it's amazing haha.

As far as I know, they don't work at all because they are HD (3D) games. Never tried it though

Hello there
I have been using an Xperia Mini for some time now and while the phone does everything i'd expect from a low end phone it's not good for gaming and i was thinking about getting a newer better phone, and while the Xperia S's lack of SD expansion option is a downer (i have a 32GB SD card :crying: ) i like the HD screen so much and i was considering either the Galaxy S2 or the Xperia S, and i heard that some people are experiencing lag when playing some modern 3D games, so i want an honest opinion from the phone owners.
So what do you think? should i get Xperia S or Galaxy S2 ?
Thanks in advance
With the stock ICS I have been experiencing some lag in games.
After upgrading to Jelly Bean (CM10) it was buttery smooth.
Screen is amazing on the phone, so no problem with gaming.
I suggest you after buying phone, right away unlock bootloader and flash CM10, if you're into mobile gaming.

Are we talking lag on all games or just the heavy 3d ones?
I am also considering the Galaxy Nexus but the 16GB limit is frustrating for me
I wouldn't call it lag.Sometimes it stutters for a second in heavy 3D games.

Why not tx or ion?
ion has a 4.6' screen and the cool brushed aluminum back cover.
tx has the better cpu(8260A).
And Ion has a sd card slot
All games run fine on ICS, too.
honestly i don't have the funds for those phones
i am kinda between the galaxy nexus, galaxy s2 and the Xperia S. and since my last phone was a Sony i am kinda rooting for the S but the gaming performance is really important to me since the Xperia Mini really gave me a hard time with games.

On stock ics it has some problems sometimes with lag, but its rare, and only in heavy 3d games, on CM10 i had not a single problem with lags. But remember to check "disable HW overlay" because it gives some problems in few games

thank you so much, are you a heavy gamer?
just one last question, is this lag a problem with the CPU or the GPU ? , if i get the XPERIA SL with it's 1.7 GHz CPU would it be any better? and does it have the same support the S has here on the android development forum?
I don't play every heavy game. I already tried NOVA 2, played NFS: MW till the end, half of Asphalt 7, played a little with GTA III, and other 2D-3D games (2D style, 3D graphics, such as Bad Piggies and Airbag Frank (also, really addicting game, btw).
Except for a FPS dropdown for a few seconds on MW, all those games run perfectly, even on ICS firmware.

thanks, that's really good news
anyone knows if the SL is a significant improvement over the S ?
SL is like a twin brother of S, basically it's a slightly overclocked version of S .Also SL has better build quality and a little bit better screen.

Xperia SL
Hi, i have a Xperia SL and i play Modern Combat 3, The Dark Knight Rises, Dead Space, Shadowgun, MASS Effect and other games without any kind of problem with stock ICS 4.0.4. I'm very happy with my phone, is good for gaming. Sorry for my english.
I got Xperia S and I ma a heavy gamer
here is list of games I have played so far with ICS .45 (now I am at .55)
Dead Space = No Lag, Very Smooth Gameplay with Awsome HD Graphic. :victory:
NFS: Most Wanted = Nice Graphic, Smooth Game play, sometime Frame drop a little.
Wild Blood = Very Smooth Gameplay, No Lag.
Asphalt 7 = Smooth Gameplay
Dead Trigger = Very Very Smooth Gameplay, No Lag.
ShadowGun = Very Smooth Gameplay, No a single Lag at all. :good:
Blood and Glory: Legend = Smoot + no lag
All Angry Birds Series = Very Smooth Gameplay, No Lag.
BackStab HD: gameplay is good but little lag (Remember I played an out dated version and in the new version the lag was fixed)
10. Riptide GP v1.4.2 = Best HD Racing game ever.
11. Expendable Rearmed = Smooth, no lag.
12. Temple run, Temple Run BRAVE, Subway Surfers, Agent Dash = Runs perfectly
Also played many HD game and I didn't have any problem. sometime few games lag a bit but the Lag was not noticeable and didn't interrupt my gameplay. BTW, Before I had Xperia NEO and gameplay was really BAD :crying: but Now with xperia S, Gameplay is Awesome :victory:
i think iphone is better for gaming.
Not enough funds to get an Ion and you suggest an iPhone. Good job!

I would take the S over the SL any day. More dev support, more fun.

The SL is the same thing as with Arc S last year. Both things work perfectly for each other (maybe not Kernel, but I'm not sure).
Any1 tried MC 4 zero hour?
Its like next generation graphics

as its in unofficial version so I didn't tried out yet but when the official version come out I'll download MC 4

Hi all, I just placed an order for the xperia arco s. Pls I would like to know the gaming performance and lag unresponsiveness of this phone.
Since I previously owned an LG optimus black which was my very first android mobile and its lagging and lack of development forced me to trade it off
Thanks as u drop ur replies.
the xperia 2012 line has great graphics...so great in fact that some companies have not built games to support the phones need T_T
(gameloft,EA)
i own xperia s(same with xperia acro s,but not water-dust-whatever proof) so
this phone is exellent when it comes to games...what makes it so good?
dualcore snapgadron s3 clocked to 1.5 ghz...ok maybe not the fastest in market but gets the job done and really good imho..you wont have any problem with any game...
1gb of ram
This super screen.....4.3 inch of beauty (correction~SUPER BEAUTIFULL HD SCREEN~)
Games ive tested:
dead space-no lag at all
dead trigger- same
dead on arrival-same
modern combat 3 -no lags
modern combat 4(tested it with jelly bean rom)- good but not the smoothest experience... but i think thats because of the game released just now and not because of the phone
Also when the official jb come out the phone will fly at games(my opinion cause with unofficial jb rom it has better performance

hey guys i am thinking to replace my phone galaxy ace s5830i for galaxy W
is this phone good and can play hard games smoth
and does have any bugs or problems ?
Without a doubt, the Ace is a nice little phone....but it's simply not as powerful as the W....the W does have it's drawbacks though.....
It'll never officially see an upgrade beyond Gingerbread..
Many users will mention the poor battery performance....when I owned my W, I replaced the battery twice. It also suffers from minimal user memory space (though this can be remedied by installing an external memory card and swapping memory in a custom ROM). In terms of gaming, out of the box....it suffers, but if you install a custom ROM, performance IS increased.....in short...the Galaxy W is a good choice for an upgrade at a reasonable price if you're prepared to tweak and modify it to bring it to it's full potential.....

does it is similar to s2 ? ? !
i heared that any game work on s2 it can also work on galaxy W is that real ?
I have heard the W being called the S2 mini....so in the same way that the S3 mini isn't quite as capable as the S3, the W isn't quite as capable as the S2. Lets face it, the S2 has twice the number of cpu cores and more RAM.....it's going to be a faster phone......
So to answer your question, some games that work well on an S2 will lag on a W.....

My opinion :
first, i donno how price W on your country. so it still depended on what you chosee soon,
second, im just give you opinoin about W, no offence.
my opinion
ace to W still same bro, even it have faster CPU and have more power in andreno 205
but it still better you choose HTC Desire HD, it have 785mb ram but still use same CPU and GPU
even this W is amazing 512mb can feel CM10.1 (ARCO IS AMAZING!).. but better you find phone at lease have 785mb RAM.

S2 Mini? Youmad? Just kidding, but admit it, as a stock phone, its nothing compared to the S2. Now, new phones like Ace 2 (Screw you Samsung) and HTC One are taking over... And I feel that this is more worthwhile... W.... Eh, just use it for daily use like calling people or playing light games like Temple Run 2 or Nyan Cat. If you want smooth gameplay on RR3 and at the same time, good battery then go fly a kite. Yes, W is 'okay' for hard gaming, but its cuz we use ROMs like Velox or OOAK or RC6... There is bound, and yes I mean bound, to be lags in every heavy game this device runs.

Watching movies
Hell yeah, watching movies on grand is awesome
Mostly watch those 720p ones from YiFy which show decent detail
The only thing is the audio output via headphones
My old P500 has way better audio on headphones than grand even without using Viper or any other mod
Browsing Internet
Never faced an issue
The 5 inch factor is pretty good while browsing web
Games
Grand has a pretty good GPU which has been improved by Samsung by firmware updates
Games like Asphalt 8, FIFA 14, Injustice, Dead Trigger 1&2 play smoothly
Would recommend the Xperia Ion/Xperia C over it though
(Go buy it if you are gonna install ViperFX to get some decent sound)

Ohkay thanks I'm finally gonna buy grand
Movies: Too good, I use VPlayer.
Games: I don't play much, but have played Subway surfers, temple run 2, etc. It runs without any lag.
Internet: No issues. I use Stock browser as well as Chrome at times for a change.
Hit thanks if you like my post.
If you can't live without dual SIM and willing to shell out some extra bucks then wait for Grand 2. Spec-side it's a bit better than Grand 1
Xperia SP run HIGH END Games almost no lag , it has adreno 320 , Grand 2 is great choice too
