Herpderp Defy.
The Samsung Captivate (unlocked) is selling for around 270 USD, which is very cheap for a smart phone. I own one and it is my main phone. has a nice processor, and XDA has a great community for it's development.

Samsung Galaxy Y ..
First, how cheap is cheap?
Second, how much power do you need?
Third, which phone service provider are you using?
You know China mobile and China telecom have their own special 3G protocol so most phones can't do 3G on their networks. If you use one of them you'll have to buy a special phone to use with them. I'm speaking from experience on this one.
If you use China Telecom, they have HSDPA and you can use just about any phone you want.
Huawei U8800/U8800+ or U9000 is a great deal for the price. They are around 1200 RMB on taobao. You'll also be supporting Chinese product development, which increases competition, which is good for everyone. I know the U8800 has Cyanogenmod, mui, and asop. I've had one for the past 6 months and I've got no complaints. It's got good battery life and will overclock 1.8GHz. Sure it's single core and only 512Mb ram, but software always takes time to catch up to hardware so you can afford to be one step behind. If you're looking for a cheap phone with good specs, it's good deal.
Pure awesome. They also have an upgrade program. If you already bought an extended battery without NFC for $20 they will send you a new one with nfc and you can keep the old one. Mine is on its way.

Thanks for the info. I really wish I had read this earlier. I just bought this battery today on amazon, and I am pretty sure it's the old version.
Seen these and was wondering if anyone has used or tried these?

It isn't compatiable with Captivate, it is for Galaxy S2 Only

But on the page itself it says it is, have you tried them?
I don't see how i is compatible with both. The S2 has 4 connecters where as the S1 has 3. I think this one is just for S2. There is on ebay however this one someone has on here I want to check out that is a 2430mah lithium polymer battery and should most likely be same profile as our 1500 mah ones. We could both be testers and find this out to let all our fellow cappy owners know the awesomeness XD. Ebay also has 1800mah batteries for us that are the same size. you can get 3 at once plus an external charger for like $15
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GOLD-2430...is before? Any reviews? Is this the Slim one?

I also need a new powerful battery in India
Which is best.suggest.battery life is too short.
Thought of posting rather threading.

I bought the 2430 MAH GOLD battery one and I must say it is giving 2x battery backup and that too for 12$(I bought the exact battery, the first link I gave in this post). Its free shipping to India but takes 2-3 weeks. Btw if you want consumption pic of the battery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28407941&postcount=7
I recommend it as a very good replacement for stock for just 12$. I was hesitant at first that it could be fake but I had no choice as my battery was dead. To my suprise the battery was AWESOME! I checked some reviews in google before buying them and they all gave mostly good feed back. Beware some in ebay might be fake so buy from a power seller/top rated seller . If you wish to buy from where I did it should be no problem at all.
This is the same battery for galaxy ace from amazon. Just check the reviews most of them are satisfactory:

Hi,
I'm planning to upgrade my phone. I have narrowed it down to Note 3 Neo and Note 2.
Both have almost similar specifications hardware wise. I'm fixated to these two devices mainly because of the S-Pen.
The price for both the phones is almost similar.
Can anyone guide which one is better amongst the two? I assumed Note 3 Neo will be better (New, hence better ). But, after doing some research, I found about the Knox and its limitations. I'm the type of the person who will root their device the first thing straight out of box.
Which one amongst the two will be better for keeping custom roms, like CM? I think Note 2, having large user base will have more support as compared to Note 3 Neo.
Can anyone shed any light on this? I have 1-2 week to decide.

Hi. New Samsung Galaxy Note 2 stock ROMs already have KNOX inside, so there's no advantage of Note 2 in this way. For example if you will buy SGN2 with Android 4.3 or 4.4, it will have built-in KNOX. And if you try to flash official 4.1.2 ROM (without KNOX) via Odin, your KNOX counter count will change to 0x1 and your warranty will be voided. But if you will have luck and buy SGN2 with nonKNOX rom 4.1.2, then take SGN2 because of many custom ROMs. Good LUCK!!!
Buy Note 2 boy

Am currently using Note 3 neo and was using a Note 2 earlier. I've got most of features which custom roms (Ones based on stock samsung rom) provide through xposed modules.If you're planning to use CM, Note series isn't the best device irrespective if its Note 2/Note 3 Neo. Also considering both are Exynos based phones where AOSP based roms usually run buggy and are half baked.
But to really answer your question as of now Note 2 is best choice between the two for custom roms.

Spot on!
Moreover CM on a Note series phone is a disrespect to the device!
Thanks for your input. I've done some more research, and came across Sudden Death Syndrome of Note 2 devices. I don't want my phone to go haywire within 1-2 years, as I love my electronics and part with them only when they are absolutely outdated (Was using Motorola Defy until last month. ) Custom roms are not that important, unless they incorporate S-Pen features, since this is the most important reason for me to go for Note device. I've seen Note 3 features ported into Note 2, which is good. But I would never flash a rom without any S-Pen features.
Here is the price I'm finding it on Ebay
1. Note 3 Neo : INR 24,545 or $425 (with manufacturer warranty)
INR 23,380 or $400 (without manufacturer warranty)
2. Note 2 : INR 22,642 or $390 (with manufacturer warranty)
INR 21,249 or $366 (without manufacturer warranty)
Which one would be a good deal?

SDS was limited problem with initial batch of Note 2 and I doubt you would face this issue now at this point of time with any brand new device . You're just paranoid for no reason and it's too late as Samsung has acknowledged and fixed this issue long back . (H/w revisions and firmware update)
It's not like your Antenna gate problem on the Apple iPhone [emoji57]
I'll blindly recommend Note 3 Neo any day as it's better than Note 2 in performance , battery life and pretty much everything else.

And you're looking forward to purchase it from an online retailer, better buy it from flipkart. It's the safest bet. I'm saying this cos somehow I don't trust eBay for such heavy transactions unless the product is not available in India. Better to pay 1-2K extra & be sure about ur product.

I've bought expensive items like Asus Nexus 7 from Ebay and it's been a great experience . It all depends on the seller and flipkart allows 3rd party sellers too(sometimes they're a pain) but WS Retail is usually preferred and that's most safe bet [emoji13]

I'm not against eBay, I myself buy a lot of stuff from them but somehow there is always a doubt when thinking about buying costly stuff (some of my mates have had bad experiences). As u said it depends on the seller & the power sellers do not sell products for a cheaper price, likewise i feel WS Retail from Flipkart is the safest bet!
If you still haven't decide, I vote for the N3 Neo. I have used the N2 for more than a year and just got my N3 neo dous. When it comes to using the S-Pen, it's far better than N2. Plus the N3 neo has more new features not available in N2. Root is available (didn't apply it yet) but custom roms are not (personally don't need them).

Well, I have done various transaction from eBay India, and some of them were around 15-20k. As it has been already been mentioned, it all depends upon the seller. I wouldn't buy any expensive item from any seller unless he has 300+ feedback, and more than 90% positive feedback.
Moreover, there is a site, feedbackselector (dot) com which lets you grab product specific feedback from any seller. Very useful tool if you buy regular on ebay.
For example, the product in question is this one:
bit (dot) ly/1mwbe7g
The feedback as shown by the feedback selector website:
bit (dot) ly/1ntXu2U
(New user, can't post external links. Remove dot and spaces.)
Since these are real feedback which are given after purchase, it is quite easy to deduce the value vs cost of any item. Looking at the Note 3 Neo feedback, I think its a safe bet.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will myself go for Note 3 Neo. I'll be buying that next month (Salary on 1st ). I was little inclined to go for Note 2 in the middle of my research. But I realized that I will be simply rooting it, and will be installing Note 3 features in that. Why not buy Note 3 Neo itself. I can root and freeze the bloatware. Should be enough, I think.
