[Q] if someone can help me decide

First of all, I don't know if I've started the thread in the right place....if I haven't...my apologise...
Hi guys, I'm in a dilemma.
1) some one's selling his Desire (6 month warranty left, hasn't been opened yet, void stickers intact, good condition overall) for about Rs. 12.5K (approx $ 250)
2) I also have my eyes on Sony ericsson Live with walkman (I am a music lover) (around the same price)
Should i get a used Desire or a Brand new SE.... I know both the phones are world apart....
i can't seem to find a clear winner in low specced new phone v/s Great specced old phone..
Thx guys.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

Why would you get that SE... the Desire will do what it does + 100x more...

Desire gives you the flexibility of making your custom ROM and customize based on your needs. I always vote for Desire. Have the Desire to buy Desire.

thx guys for all ur help. I finally own a HTC Desire now. however I find the battery drains very fast.....
1) in some threads they say, turn off phone and charge for 8 hrs..then turn it on 2hrs etc.. does that trick work.
2) some forums say that using Juice defender, likewise apps drains ur battery....should apps like those be kept running in ur phone...YES or NO.
3) I implemented few things i found here and there to improve the battery life...screen brightness etc (mentioned at may sites).....do u guys want to share some ideas for the same?

The battery saving roms are mostly AOSP roms. If you are rooted or planning on rooting, those roms are worth checking out. You can also go and undervolt using custom kernels but I'm not sure how well that is going to work with you since it seems that you'll use your device as a music player and that usually require a bit more work for the processor.

There's a How To in General that delves deeply into the recalibration of the battery. Which you do depends on whether you have root (you can clear the battery stats) or not. If not the first post may help you.

One X vs GS3?

Hi at all! some day ago i broke my HD2 so i search for a new smartphone! my choise is on one X and Gs3 I know that for now the one X with stock rom have a worse ottimization (like with animated wallpaper). so I ask you what's the best phone in this area,if one have the sotck rom or some other from XDA:
battery
performance
with the new rom form XDA one X is better that GS3 or GS3 continue at be the best phone for performance and battery?

I had a look at a S3 the other in day in store and I was quite impressed but at the same time not disappointed with my choice of the HOX.
I do like the sense launcher and some time soon I am going to flash a custom rom to speed things along but from what I've read and seen both phones are nearly identical performance wise.
If you are into flashing custom roms and things I would go with the S3 as they have already released the source code for it while where stuck over here trying to get S-off

thanks so with the new rom you have noted some improvement in the battery life? beacause for now this is the real difference between one X e SG3 for me i Have fear that the one X have a small battery

From a pure hardware/features standpoint, the GS3 is a beast.
Personally, I like the way the HOX looks/feels, though and I'm a sucker for the contact integration of the social networks. Touchwiz has a long way to go before it's that refined.

but for the daily use the one X have some lag with the custom rom? I see in a lot of review a bug with animated wallpaper and the stock browser is terrible with flash respect the one s and Gs3 :/
so with the new updates or custom rom this problem are solved?

The HOX is a better phone but the GS is a better made phone, I love the HOX and the curved look, and sense is awesome, I must have installed all other launchers and ended up back with sense.
The GS is a little too..... simple, or presice, the HOX is a Tegra 3 Daddy, dont worr about the battery as my model and if you buy one yours will be fine and last 2 days easy. Its eraly SN versions having issues not new ones.

sorry,but I don't understend the phrase "The HOX is a better phone but the GS is a better made phone". I want said that SG3 is better of HOx?
I'm worry about battery and lag,beacause in a lot of review HOX have some lag and a lot of people said that is not optimized

sorry,but this is a very big forum,so here I can have a lor of opinion
I saw the video. My conclusion is that with the new update and custom rom in daily use the difference between GS3 and HOX in nearly zero,right?
But I don't understand how much is big the difference in the game. with one X there is some game that go slow?like Mass effect or some other new games?

Go for the S3, OneX is for **** ....

in daily tasks both are the same, no one is going to notice, in games the hox has support for the high graphics tegra 3 games, with development support by nvidia.

making a statement without any justification for your conclusion is pointlessly unhelpful.

HOX: better screen, camera & design.
SGS3: unlocked bootloader, removable battery, sdcard slot.
If you can't make a decision from that simple summary then it doesn't matter, you'd be happy with either.

I just got my one x a few hours ago and I think it is awesome. I'm definitely buying the pebble blue galaxy s 3 though. Just be happy with your purchase. Both great in their own way.

I dont like the samsung TouchWiz interface. HTC Sense is way better in my opinion.
I had HTC Inc S, then got the SGS2, wasnt really happy with it, mainly the interface, so got the ONE X and love it.
Its fast and battery lasts well, I get 2 days of average use before recharge. Allthough when I use it as a Wifi hotspot for 6 hours will only last me 1 day.

in my honest opinion
I have my HOX now for the past month and I am satisfied...
Just satisfied as it delivers where it should as in Graphics, Performance, UI, Integration and sleekness, however the only major downfall I would say of the HOX is the Battery and not having a removable SD card.
Battery life too short and not being able to expand the memory is a downfall
So with only those 2 aspects in mind I would change to a GS3
Otherwise I am happy with my HOX

Htc One m8 or oneplus One ?

Hey guys, i own an htc One m8 from verizon. One guy offered me an One plus One with a case, the earphone and some extra things.. Should i trade or keep ? Is the oneplus One better than the m8?
Thanks.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app

Definitely keep the M8.
I have been using the Oneplus since July and it's not as great as it sound. It's a good phone with all the good specs and price, but the touchscreen problem is horrible. And customer service is just as bad. They made a new thread about the issue, but where is the solution? I bought a M8 recently and it feels like it's from another world. Things I've noticed between the two are: touchscreen is MUCH more responsive., camera has faster focus and takes faster pics, Whatsapp voice message sounds like you are underwater in OPO, audio is way better with M8. I'm a fan of vanilla rom, but I actually really like sense after using it. I would suggest you test out the OPO and check for touchscreen issue if you're planning to get it

Go with OnePlus One!
Definitely BEST budget phone in the market( for now)
And Cyanogen is plus point. Compared to m8 the screen size is 5.5' and build quality,viewing angles are great!3Gb ram and Battery backup is excellent .Camera Quality is above average!
Go with OnePlus One Dude.Hurry

It's up to you. I would keep the M8 as it is a lot more premium looking phone with very good build quality and of course it is worth more!

Does this phone live up to days standards ?

Hi ! Both Devices arent really up to date , but i think the HTC one x with its Quadcore Tegra CPU and a better and bigger Display is the better Choice , even the S4 mini is the newer Device. Just my personel Opinion.

That depends on your personel usage.Every User is different.But as far as what "normal" is ,i think you will be recharging in the Evening.
sent from my Oneplus One

I'd also recommend the HTC One X.
Like fares70 said, keep your charger near you every evening . I'd say try other Kernels because they DO improve battery life from my opinion.
Keep in mind that I've got a device with a nearly dead battery.
Bought a battery with a higher capacity and i'll report back about the battery life as soon as it arrives!

A little update

What's up guys. I'm using my LG G4 for a hard year now. I'm on RR ROM with custom kernel, but i think that the end is near for my phone. The question is, HTC 10's worth all the money? I had an One S 3 years ago and it was a beast. Soo, should I buy it? Thanks in advance

I've come from a LG g3, quite a difference and takes some getting used to. Feels too small to start with, no wireless charging/removable battery, flashing is cumbersome, but... wicked quality, fast, sound quite good, battery life seems good, camera very good (and in low light) I'm unlocked, not rooted yet , looking forward to custom kernels and watching this move from fast to lightning
