which phone do you like better? list the pros and cons of each device and decide which one you can live with.
cheers

Why are you asking us? Let's be honest, you're going to do what you want in the end no matter what we recommend. And this being the nexus forum you already know what your going to hear.

I had the one s. Had a desire HD then got excited and got the s
Hardware wise great.
Screen felt small. Its way to thin. Development is nowhere near the x or older HTC devices.
I have had the x also in between though I had a nexus. Traded in for an x.
Now back on the nexus lol
Be honest its your choice but if your trading go for the x

I wouldn't trade it. The One S is a decent enough phone, but I would never trade my Galaxy Nexus for it.

I wouldn't trade my Gnex for nothing out except the Next Nexus!

I was at the club the other day and my friend was there with his friend! He has an HTC one s, we swapped phones and "played" with them for a few moments. I've ready played with the one S before but his reactions to how smooth and fast my nexus was, was priceless! He also mention how he liked the on screen buttons and size of the phone itself...
Just my little story, if I were EVER Trade for a one S, it would be 250.00 + mint condition One S for my mint condition White nexus....yes I know. Overkill. Lol

Answer for these "should I trade" threads are same. Yes. Why? Well we all are Gnex users and we're Gnex users for a reason. Because we love it and it is a best phone in our opinion.
What does that mean? You will get a pretty biased answer, I'm gonna be honest with you.
You should really do a research on the phone and see if you think it'll really fit your life more than Gnex you know? Everyone's opinion is different.

Hell no, after coming from a Nexus you will see all pixels on the One S. I compared my nexus to my friend's one s and noticed all pixels, and see pixels every time now.

S3 community vs upcoming Note II

T Mobile community seems dead. I don't know if it's just me but where are all the developers? The Note II is coming out soon. I have a feeling everyone is going to jump on that.
So forum... Should i stick with the S3 or hold out and wait for the Note II.
Note II has a quadcore vs the S3 having a dual core..
will i notice a difference between the two performance wise?
dont bash.
apple fanboys gtfo.

I thought the note two was using the same S4 processor as our phones.

no samsung announced that it comes with the faster exynos 1.6ghz quadcore...

I would not get a phone with an Exynos processor after what codeworkx said about it, but that's just me.
Also, not sure how many ROMs you are looking for. There's a bunch of TouchWiz, there's CM10, AOKP, MIUI (still WIP), and some other AOSP-derived ROMs.

Thats what they said when att got note I. Go check the note I development and you will see how vivid it is +devs are waiting the release of stable jellybean. And idk what you mean by dead, we got every possible rom that exists around xda community. If you are a flash addict then that is your problem. But the best kernel dev has a galaxy s3(faux) + we got cyanogen also. As it regard touchwiz there is not much to dev about it cuz sammy did really well. Some theming and stuff will be good so yeah congrats for your topic, you sound like a total noob

I'm not a noob I'm just saying as if the note 2 came out would the s3 development slow down for t mobile...
Reason why I'm asking is cause the note 2 processor is much better... also better video card..
Wouldn't all the android enthusiasts go after the note 2? Especially the devs.?

Reread your post. You said that the s3 dev community is dead. And keep in mind that note 2 grabs only the attention of maybe 20% of the buyers cuz most of them do not like something that is that huge. Plus do some research. Its processor is old technology uses a9. When a15 comes out then yes you can call it an upgrade.
Sent from my SGH-T999

We have plenty of development but you can use ATT's roms/kernels on this too you know..

Wait so every rom for att works for this? How come devs don't post them in t mobile forum?

No way I would get a Note. Way to big and I have big hands. Just no reason for it.
When buying my S3, rep had what I thought was a tablet streaming music off it. He said it was the Note 1 and sat it down next to the S3 and I was like I am amazed at how many people use this as a phone. He told me he never uses it as a phone, rather an entertainment device. Had an Apple as his regular phone, lol!
Biggest I would go is....maybe 5", but honestly feel 4.8" is the sweet spot for guys with decent sized hands. Girls 4.3" should suffice.
I honestly believe the phablets will be a thing of the past in less than a couple years, maybe even sooner.

Not note 2 for me. Phone looks great but I think is too much for me, I thought this phone was too big at first. The only thing it help was that I had a galaxy nexus and evo lte, I don't think 5 inches will be comfortable to use but who knows, I never thought I was going to get bigger then 4.3 (back on 2010 with original evo) and here we are now ha ha
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

4.8 is def a sweet spot, but at times it can be a chore reaching your thumb towards the top of the screen while using it one handed. Most people use bluetooth ear devices anyway so phonewise its not a huge concern with size

It will, but that doesn't mean it is a better processor.
Sent from my SGH-T999

I'd prefer the Galaxy S3. I was drooling over the Note 2 at first, but I did some more research and the Galaxy S3 is a better size, price, and overall phone for me.

It is super hard to get aosp ROMs going on exynos based devices...Samsung doesn't like to release there source and drivers for there soc and when they do it is to late and outdated. Omap and Qualcomm are great at releasing s#it
I have a feeling there will be a lot of tw based ROMs for the N2. Maybe one or two hacked up aosp ROMs

I guess I'm sticking with what i have

Anyone here thinking of selling there Galaxy and Getting the Nexus? I'm debating it but the internal only memory is a real dissaponitment especially since I bought a 32 gb sd card with my Galaxy

Gotta wait till the 29th for me to make any decisions, but I'm not gonna lie, the lack of microSD slots these days is really starting to tick me off.

yup I would do that but no sdcards slot makes me say hell no.
But hopefully they release more than 1 nexus, I would few more days.

Well, if you already have the nexus, no SD cards are something that you are uses too. That's probably one of the biggest adjustments I'd say.
Personally, I prefer SD card support.

I'm seriously considering moving over if the Nexus 4 is big hit because the lack of updates is really pissing me off. I was going to originally move over to the Note II but it's too expensive right now, so I rather see what Nexus 4 has to offer.

Yeah but HTC is no longer dev friendly... and the build quality of their last couple of Tmo devices has been junk. Just my opinion (and I was a huge HTC fanboy - nexus one, mt4g, amaze, and one s). Amaze and One S were junk by my standards

Has any one developed an add on for S Voice. In the past I had a Iphone 4s and jailbroke it. Then added some files for Siri. When you launched Siri I would say load brain and Siri would be much funnier, and have great comebacks. Is their an android version?

The only thing holding me back getting the S4 is USB mass storage. Not sure why Samsung does not allow that.

Rumors say that it's benchmarks are lower Sg s4
Sent from my LG-P765 using Tapatalk 2

Benchmarks are double that of the S3. Battery is slightly better. My only complaint about the s4 is that sSamsung bloated the software so much that only 8gb is available on a fresh device. After removing bloat I was able to get it to about 9.5gb but that's still not much.
I only got the s4 because my daughter needed a new phone and I wasn't going to pay for another s3 when I can pay a little more for the s4 and pass down the s3 to her. I will still be around the s3 forum as there is 2 of them in the family.
As for the note if I am not wanting something that huge. Might as well carry a laptop or a tablet and put on Skype or something similar

The N4's glass back will give you heaps of worries

If I had fully working gnex perhaps I would wait until n5 or maybe go for s4 or HTC one. But since it died and I didn't had unlimited funds I went for n4...and I am really happy, I would never downgrade. It's blazing fast, screen is awesome. Even voice quality (in call) seems higher. Of course it has its flaws, but which device hasn't? Wifi and data signal are as weak as on gnexus. Yeah glass back but that's what cases are for. Maybe it's not a huge upgrade in terms if camera (still very average) but it is a noticeable difference overall . For me N4 feels like Gnex on steroids. Exactly what I was looking for and I don't need much more.

Hey man. I recommend you keep your current phone and wait for the next Nexus. The N4 has a problem registering touches and can be frustrating. A lot of owners will deny it, but if you have someone else try it out they will notice.

If you want to buy a device which really makes a difference and shows even more ambition in supporting custom roms, have a look at the oppo find 5.

If you can stand the GN, keep it. If you can't, get the N4.
