Develop Bugs

Some help plz...

OK so here's the deal. My upgrade is here (Verizon) and I'm really diggin the new razr m, but I've only used HTC devices and I LOVE them. So should I use my upgrade for the razr m at 50 bucks or should I wait on one of the new unannounced HTC devices that looks to be releasing later this month. I love HTC but I can't spend 200 on a new device right now. Come on guys help lead me in the right direction lol

You know I usually judge my next purchace on how well its built, is the software current, and of course rootability. Motorola just recently stated most 2011 models will be upgraded to 4.0 or 4.1 (can't recall exactly). They are working with devices that do preform well and have decent battery life, plus at that upgrade price, that's a killer deal.
Now that I have become a Motorola rep for you lol, try it out see if it fits you, if not move on. It's all about choice in Android.

I really think you should spend 100$ more and get the galaxy s3 (wireless.amazon.com for 150$) or, spend 99$ for a galaxy nexus. I'm never buying a motorola phone, they seem pretty notorious for not updating their software. Also, if you are a fan of XDA and the things that are happening here, stick to what's hot and is going to continue generating interest for at least the next 2 years - which in this case, i think will definitely be the S3. The nexus phones are also super popular and will be worked on too.

don't go motorola, just don't. They're garbage (coming from a Droid X2.)
In all honesty, right now, I'd go with the G-nex. I don't really like the S3, but it's just personal taste I guess

Avoid Motorola like the plague.

I would keep my upgrade and wait for the next HTC nexus. My dinc 2 shows no signs of dieing so I think ill be able to wait that long.
Moto is good if you don't want root.

Is it worth upgrading to the Samsung Galaxy SIII?

I currently own the Xperia Play and was just wondering if it's worth upgrading to the Samsung Galaxy S3?
Personally I'm getting quite tired of the thickness of the phone itself as I barely use the gamepad feature anyway. I am also a little bit reluctant being attached to a 2 year contract.
Any ideas?
BTW... Please do not mention Iphone 5... imo it really sucks!

I have both the Xperia Play & Galaxy S III (international version). I would say that if you want an awesome phone GET IT. I really don't like the Xperia Play myself too. Too thick & etc.

I'd get an HTC phone way before a Samsung. Also HTC will be PlayStation certified.

Gamer = xperia play
Others = SG3
So get S3 too
Click thanks if i helped!
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

I would never buy the S3 for a few reasons.
1: The Super AMOLED screen has a pentile subpixel matrix, which makes it more green than any other color
2: The build quality is cheap
3: The Super AMOLED screen creates a burn-in on the notification bar
4: The LEDs on the screen wear out much more quickly than a normal LCD display
So I say no, but w/e

Great, if u dont love games.
Other than that, You should get it!!!

Thats a great combo for home use but not on the go. There is no stand on the Nyko controlller to hold the Android device in place. Which means you can only play your Android device on a flat surface. No thanks but I am waiting for the Xperia Play 2.

Sony Nexus X.. Real or fake?

I surely like Sony design...

Call it fake or mockup or whatever, there is a strong rumor that Sony will be releasing Nexus Phone this year.

And how is a Sony Nexus different from the Xperia T? Or rather, what exactly is a Nexus? Also, I'm more interested in the rumored quad core Sony phone that was leaked last week.

Nexus is a pure android phone. No custom UI or restrictions. Gets updates as soon as Google releases them and always runs the latest os.

What's so awesome about the nexus? Ive never had one and I wanted the first one but never could afford a smart phone until now. Ive seen some talk about the Sony Odin having 5inch 1080p display 2gigs of ram and a new quad-core cpu, why so much hype about a nexus?
Edit- also just an fyi this isn't me trying to put the nexus down just an honest question

In general, a Nexus device gets the latest updates faster than any other phone. They usually set the bar for where Google thinks the platform should be at. All of the manufacturers will have their own flagship devices, but none of them will get updates faster than a Nexus device.

Selling Xperia s although I love it

I am considering selling my Xperia s for the new Samsung s4. Is anyone else?
I love my phone but I am tired of the lack of software support from Sony. I can't believe we still haven't gotten jelly bean it really is ridiculous.
Anyone else considering this change??
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2

No. We already have fully working Jelly Bean 4.1.2, and 4.2.2. I would consider selling my Xperia just for a different sized phone.

True the current 4.1.2 roms are soo solid and stable they'll be better than Sony's when it's released anyway. It's a guarantee the first release of Sony will have buggy where as our 4.1.2 roms will only get better using the newly released sony drivers
Sent from my 4.2.2 Xperia S via Tapatalk

I'm going to buy HTC One in May, leaving SXS for my wife. It's good phone, worth to keep at home. Samsung - no, enough Sammy products for now.

I will sell it for HTC One, done with xperia and poor care for premium user from sony.

Are you administrator, or god to say me what i can and what i cant.

the s4 is so underwhelming and ugly and cheap looking that it won´t stand a chance against the new nexus, h2 sony and moto x.
i´ll gladly wait a few months for a good phone and not sell my phone for a phone which emphasizes on software gimmicks like floating touch (sony sola says hello).
samsung is the apple of android and by that a bad copy of apple

Man, do not compare crappy crApple to android phones! Cheap plastic? And how you wrote these words? On metal made keyboard?

Samsung isnt any better with updates.for example Many Samsung phones with same specs as Arc didnt even get icecream sandwich.Jelly bean is getting released within a month but you are free to buy any cellphone from any manufacturer u please,just stop making threads about it.

samsung wants to be apple of android, so why shouldnt i compare them? furthermore samsung obviously copied apple multiple times.
why u compare the material of my keyboard with a flagship phone with a high price?

Wait, Sony is releasing JB in April. Then we will have more development and better and stable JB roms.. Just my opinion.. Not being GOD or anything..

Actually i would choose Nexus 5 ahead of the others.. Z1 is waterproof, but i don't think its really worth it.. 20mp isn't like what it should be.. And bootloader can't be unlocked since Camera will be damaged further.. SGS4 lacks quality.. Although it will receive some major updates for another 1 and half year atleast.. Nexus 5 is new and will get support for another 2 years or more without doubt because of Google.. Also Nexus 5 is coming with 4.4, which is much more faster and also new features already.. I am willing to sell my SXS and go for Nexus 5 soon which is also highly unlikely..

Id get me a ZU

@Ben36 Nexus 5 any day better than other options... U will be the first 1 to get all android updates
If u are considering Samsung, Note 3 is what I would suggest... screen quality is way better than SGS4 or Xperia Z1

I think definitely the nexus is the one too. unless there's anything due out that would be worth waiting for?

Aren't you people bored of Sony smartphones? I change manufacturer everytime, because I always need something new, something fresh, and Sony changes only hardware, software is basically the same for all their smartphones.

go for nexus if u want fast and latest android,samsung for heavy features that u mostly wont use and sluggish ui,sony is good but their software doesnt utilise the hardware,they dont use it in good way,and no timely updates.move to nokia lumia series if u dont want a smartphone hahahaha and iphone if u dont like messing with your phone :silly: for now nexus 5 or wait till xperia Z2(long time but our xperia s isnt slouch yet).i am just sad no good roms yet for xperia s,few are good but not as expected

so Nokia Lumia it is!

Actually Dual boot is not that safe i guess.. Well, Android gives an app for everything.. Windows still has to emerge.. Not much changes can be made with UI.. Unlike Android, u can change UI to virtually any kind possible.. Although its always the one who's buying has to decide what his needs are.. If it were me, i would definitely go with Android first and then iOS as my 2nd.. Just my opinion..
