[Q] New phone

Hello guys,
i 'm new here and i would like to ask you sth..I currently own an iPhone 3GS but after a year of use i got a bit bored , tired mainly with the software..too closed imo..u have to jb so that u can make the most of it and apple just makes things worse patching stuff and other s**t like that..So i found about Desire a week ago and i was thinking of buying it..But because i dont want to spend my money on a mobile which probably will be outdated in a while , would it be wise to hold on to my iPhone and buy an android cell later on in case some new cpu models ship , new android os comes out and stuff like that??
thnx

There will always be a new phone coming out. If you hold out till later today, you will hear of a new phone being developed with awesome specs. I heard of the Desire HD a month after I got mine and I'm sure you will hear of a Desire 2 or whatever coming out early next year just after waiting for and getting an HD.
Know what you want out of a phone and look for a phone that best fits your needs and wants. The Desire does this for me and I look forward to my next purchase next year when my wants and needs change again. The HD will be a purchase for the gf if she's good but its too big for my personal use. I'll get a tablet next year as well (Android of course) and that will fill a different need and want.
Good luck picking a phone

Nokia no way dead phone
I went to the store, I saw the one S, I was about to take it but turns out it only has 16GB and not SD slot so no go for ONE S.
I saw the ONE V, its nice and small, with SD card but cpu is 1 core only.
anyway, there wasn't much of a choice, xperia models are all old, no xperia T , thats it I couldn't find any other phone beside the iphone 5 crap =))
so i got the one V but I didn't un box it yet so I may return it if I found a better phone soon.
thanks guys for your help

AGREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE:good::good::good::good:

I tried the Note 2 and don't really like it. Everything about the phone is good but its size and build. I like the speed and special features together with huge battery; however, the size is way too big for me to handle. Sometime it becomes inconvenience for me. I decided to stay with my HOX International

I thought it was some sort of Paintballing Company or something, sorry im a 90s kid

Common haha! S3 is awesome. I sent my S3 to repair some stuff (read this: ClickMe LOL)
Then i bought a HOX, i really enjoyed the phone but htc made some limitations, that's why I preffer S3. Its a plastic made phone but its very resistent, I love to flash roms but unfortunatly I got a S-ON device.
This year I bought 5 phones: iPhone 4S, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Note 1rst gen, Galaxy S3 and now HOX.
About iPhone 4S:
It's a very nice phone but I have always had apple devices, all iphones and i wanted to try something new.
About Galaxy Nexus:
I don't know if it's only in Brazil, but i got an international one, and there was no Gorila Glass o.0. Camera is really bad. At least nexus is on top to receive new updates.
About Galaxy Note:
It's a HUGE phone lol. Now I started to think i'm unlucky lol. Most of G.Note came with a Bug that you can't do a full wipe coz it erases the efs partition and you turn your device into a brick.
About Galaxy S3:
One world? GOD.
It's the best phone I've ever had. It's fast, beautiful, awesome camera quality. It's "wow". You can be sure it will receive many updates since the "S" line is very famous. You can say it's "cheap plastic" but why do u want more? Are you going to play tennis with your phone?? LOL
About HOX:
Loved HTC sense. Too bad i got a S-ON device and _044 cid. I'm a "rom-flashing" fanatic. I love to try as many roms as i can in a day lol, with this limitation by htc forces me to use S3 as main. Battery also SUCKS BY ALOT.But i'm gettin HOX+ as soon as its avaliable.Too bad I live in brazil and need to buy this phone in Paraguai lol its gonna take 10000000 years.
Sorry for my english typos lol
Hope this help you

Agreed.. ps. Only thing i don't like about Note 2 is the battery, thing doesn't die even how hard i try! 9hrs screen on time with WiFi on, all the syncs on and heavy use browsing xda and internet. How you can Kill the battery in 1 day? Impossible.

Why Did You Buy SGY?

Hi.Please post the reason you bought the sgy here.Its not the best one in the market and everyone would have a reason they bought shgy and y duos and noy the galaxy s,htc explorer etc.
For example:-Because you were broke at that time
Because You were influenced by your dad
Because you felt it was VFM etc

My Reason
I bought the sgyd as it was my first phone and my dad wouldnt loan me enough cash to buy a better one.:crying:

I bought this phone cause i thought it was good

I bought this phone cz i was out of my mind

Ofcourse my uncle gave this phone for me as my birthday gift

Got it cheap for 52quid from cex shop and al boxed too and i fink that the sgy is a good little fone if you want better then buy better handset thats the best logic

There's a section for questions bro.
Btw it's my first Android phone, I had no idea about android and ofcourse price is a reason behind my sgy. Whatever it is, I love my SGY.

It was vfm phone at that time (7k)

Also, sgs is nowhere near to sgy dude -_-

I didn't knew about android custom rom, cm stuff... If I knew that this phone can't play hd games and don't have cm I never buy that.. I would buy a mini or fit.
Btw I really impressed in the sgy TV ad in Indian channels..

why not ?

I bought this because it was the cheapest android phone I could get, I'm only 14 so my parents wouldn't buy a nexus or even xperia.

I earned some money on my own for the first time in my life. After buying my mom a small gift i decided to spent the rest on a new phone to replace my ageing symbian device .
I went to shop tried a few Nokias but was left unimpressed by UI then i picked up the demo galaxy y and played with it for a while and was blown away since it was my first encounter with android - bought it then and there.
And i don't plan on selling it any sooner either if i collect enough money i may buy an ipad or some other tablet but as of now sgy perfectly serves all my needs

Because I can't offered much money to buy high range mobile.

Becoz It was the best phone in my budget...

Tottaly noob to smartphones that days..
Knew nothing about android or anything...
Was having a old generation SPICE phone..
Phone looked good..was cheap and somewhere i read cheapest and the best smartphone...
Well i am still looking for the guy who made that comment...
**rooting is new for me...and i am noob to root...**

I just wanted dual sim phone.. had no idea what android was... budget was 8k.. somehow convinced dad for 9k phone..
I was not into smartphone due to touch screens.. as its not ideal for msging... well now I don't msg anymore.. due to xda I.e is
**Nothing is True... Everything is Permitted**
Muffins.. Yay, i want muffins!

It was my birthday gift but it's awesome and i liked it and its my first andriod phone

I was stupid didn't know anything about android phones or smartphones in general and it was cheap lol if I knew then what I know now I'd probably of gotten a mid-range device as my first device really and truly can't wait to get rid of this this was good for like 7 days then all the features it lacked started rolling in.........next phone G NOTE 2!! lol
Hit THANKS you ungrateful bastard...plz

I bought this phone because... wait-a-minute! I got this phone from my dad because he had a tough time using it.
It was okay for a while because I finally had a touchscreen phone to play around with until I realized I can't play a lot of games coming from the market and that it didn't support flash. But then I discovered rooting then this forum, now i love tinkering (and bricking) with my SGY.

new galaxy s3 owner

Since the original expire date was dec 22 my Dad decided to do an early upgrade so me and my bro was going to get the samsung galaxy nexus, but we wanted the s3 instead and these went on sale during black friday and my Dad took advantage of it so I got a white one and bro got the blue one got them activated today and I'm loving this phone so far. Coming from the lg optimus s to this, this is one huge upgrade so I may have questions!

It's a pretty legit phone.

It is a great phone, the bad thing is that the network provider hold the phone back.

Your right about that...Though 3G has gotten a little bettter....minus Hurricane Sandy...I think that put Sprint back....The network hasn't been right since...NYC I get good reception though when I am at work.

I just got mine a couple of days ago to replace my broken Epic 4G Touch, but the jump from an Optimius S is HUGE! There's plenty of helpful people here, so enjoy your new phone and ask for help when you need it. (After searching first, of course... )

I've owned all the galaxy's on Sprint.. (See sig) Just got my S3 as well. Love it so far.. Rooted (of course) running The Peoples Rom, and it's smooth as silk. Overall i'm impressed with it. Coming from the S2 so we see over the days how it goes. (Just got last night) But as was stated, Enjoy it! Galaxy's are great phones (No matter which model you try)

I made the jump from my Epuke 4G to the SGS3. Wow, what a difference a couple of years makes. Sprint still sucks for coverage down here in San Diego, but the fact that I got the phone dirt cheap makes up for crappy coverage.

Back with Samsung after 2 years with HTC

After two years with my EVO 4G (OG) it was starting to have some hiccups here and there. Mostly because of the power surges that came into my house and fried out 11 250 joule surge protectors, an LED TV, 2 FiOS STB's, the FiOS D-Mark, and a microwave. Charging my phone during the last strike from my local electric company had caused it to start running strangely. Or at least that is my theory.
Well, I decided I needed a new phone. I was lucky enough that I was due for an upgrade, so off to Best Buy I went. I was seriously toying with the idea of getting an SG3. My brother in law has one, as well as my wife's cousins. I thought it was a great phone and light years ahead of the EVO. Don't get me wrong, my EVO has served me phenomenally, but I wanted something nicer. I have 2 Epic 4Gs in my house, wife and son, plus I have had the Fascinate, the Moment and the Transform, so I know Samsung makes some great devices.
I walk into the Mobile center in Best Buy and gravitate towards the Sprint table and started looking at the SG3. There was nothing that really jumped out at me and there were no more HTC phones in the lineup. Sad, but never a deal breaker. Then I see it, the Galaxy Note II. I pick it up and it feels very comfortable in my hand. I am a big guy so I feel like an iPhone get's lost in my hand and this was the Goldilocks phone. Now for the moment of truth. Do they have the Titanium in stock? My EVO is white and so is my iPhone. The Note in white was just too much white. And not the cool Stormtrooper white with black accents like my EVO has, but pure stark white. That wouldn't do. The sales person approached and asked me if I needed help. I told him I wanted the GN2 in Titanium and he gave me an ashen look. He mentioned that they were on national back order, but he would look anyway. Lo and behold, he pulls out, according to him, the last Titanium GN2 in the country.
Everything goes swimmingly. They have the phone advertised for $299 for an upgrade, but I had seen it in Radio Shack for $199. I never thought to take a picture of the ad before I went to BB, but oh well. I told the new salesperson that was helping I would come back to get the $100 credit. She said she had a lot of luck beating Amazon Wireless' prices. She pulled up the site and I was able to get the Note for $199. Score! She got me up and activated in about 10 mins and I was out the door with my new toy.
Now, I swore to myself that I would test drive it for a week or two before rooting at and throwing a custom ROM. Too bad that lasted about 5 mins. I was able to root it even after doing the MA7 update. I am currently a lab rat because I actually like the stock TouchWiz. That may change but for the moment I like the Team Nocturnal ROM (great job guys!!) Battery life on this is insane!!! I charged it to full last night and took it off at about 10PM. I use it as a white noise generator and forgot to set the sleep timer, so it was going from midnight until I woke up at 7AM and I still had 90% battery. Awesome!!
I will probably spend most of my work day playing and tweaking it.

Same boat here, DIE HARD EVO OG supporter. Phone still rocks, although requires some tweaking. I'm on my way to Sprint store this afternoon. What method did you use for root?

thats one hell of a post just to say you got a note 2. i think that everyone should do that. it would make the forums a super great place to get info about who has the note 2. i think we should just give up on developing and just announce ourselves. to me it just seems like a better use of bandwidth. i dont know. i wish i could just read welcome posts all day. :veryfun: :sarcasm:

Welcome to the team :thumbup: I come from all three generations of the evo. Its so nice to be able to root your phone without all the hastle. I wouldn't go back to htc even after seeing the htc one. Also, Samsung and Sprint have been doing an awesome job of upgrading their phones. I'll be waiting on the Note 3.

I used MSKip's Galaxy Note II Toolkit Ver. 3.0. It was super-easy. It will still root even if you updated to 4.1.2 (MA7) I was rooted in under 5 minutes. (Excellent job MSKip!! :good: )

I got all 3 generations of Evos sitting on my desk right now too. I am not going back to HTC after buying the Note 2. Samsung just does the software so much better. Like why on my evo with 16gb of internal storage do I have to move my apps between a 2gb app partition and a 8gb internal partition

I also cone from a evo 4g. As a matter of fact, I bought the 3d for my wife and another 4g for my mom to use. Same deal here, 4g just want cutting it anymore and the note had been out for a little bit on sprint. So I got it and it's crazy impressive. The weight and the feel of it at first compared to htc devices wad misleading at first, but a good case and some time with it had made me a fan of Samsung.
My buddy at work has the htc dna and it feels like you could beat someone with it, but that's pretty much where the advantages end. This is the way to go. Fast, responsive, uses a stylus like the good old Palm days, and the battery life is amazing.
I've been with htc since the mogul days and have been a big fan of theirs, but always had to buy the extended batteries. I think the stock battery will do for this phone.
Samsung note ii

I also came from HTC. The HTC Desire HD. It was a great device.
You've got to love the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 though. :good:

An ex evo user myself. Welcome to the club....you made the right choice

Liked my Evo 3D for 2 years. Loving the Note II for 3 months! :highfive:

I had the og evo and the 3vo and after the locked bootloader BS and htcs backpedaling on opening up to development, I abandoned them and boycotted them. I won't buy any more HTC products, especially after them threatening lawsuits for ppl hosting RUUs and modified sense roms. They have become too applesque for my taste. Samsung has been good about ease of access for development (unlocked bootloaders and easy to root, just implemented a simple custom flash counter) and releasing source almost at the same time an OTA starts being pushed.
I like to break stuff!

I too have come from using all htc phones (mogul, tp2, and evo4g) and I must say this is one heck if a phone. Love everything about it. The battery lasts me as long as the batteries from all my htc phones combined. Everyonw that I have showed it too have been amazed by it..
Cant get enough of this phone

Also a ex evolte user made the jump the days ago this phone is off the chain I honestly feel like I may go my entire contact with this one!
