Title says it all. My girlfriend had a Nokia X3-02, and the mainboard broke twice within a month, so I'm not going back to Nokia. Thinking about letting her try Android.
Anyway, found a Wildfire S for $130 (USD), thought it might be worth a try. I'm also considering a Wildfire, but the screen resolution seems kinda low.
What I need out of it:
1) Stock rom + root + recovery + custom kernal + overclock --> found these in the forums
2) Ability to store apps on SD card. The internal memory is small from what I understand. It's got Android 2.3, so it should already have this, right?
3) Good battery life for music and movies. She listens to a lot of music.
4) Idiot proof and very very easy to use. My girlfriend is a total idiot when it comes to cellphones. She's never had a phone without a physical keypad. I almost considered buying her an older Iphone, but then I came to my senses.
Is there anything I should be aware of about this phone, good or bad? Or can someone suggest a better phone for the same price or less (used is OK)?
I've got a Huawei U8800 for myself, and it's awesome, but I think it's a little too expensive to get one for her.
I think this would be a great phone for her because it has everything she would need.
Also this would be a huge upgrade from the Nokia X3-02
Buy a high end range phone they are good and she can learn so that she can gain experience

High end phones are expensive. $130 is actually a bit more than I want to pay, I paid about $80 for the X3-02, but the wildfire s looks pretty good for the price. I don't even buy high end phones for myself because they're not worth it. Too many pickpockets here in China. I'm looking for a good value, something that won't break easily, or at least be easy to fix if it does.
And she won't learn. The perfect example is she just brought my tf101 to me asking how to open YouKu (chinese youtube), for the 15th time. But she loves to cook and clean, and a few other things.
Not sure, but Wildfire S with CM7.2 and LINK2SD with a big SD card should be good. Or a stock rom.
Sony xperia ray is better for a girl. Without overclock/custom rom, wildfire s is annoying even when answering a call and battery sucks no matter what.

i agreed..
Then buy a Samsung galaxy ace plus ,it is much more better than HTC wildfire s and is about the same price
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using xda premium
Samsung galaxy ace plus = $245, way too expensive
Sony Xperia Ray = $175, I like it but still too expensive.
We don't get our phones on contract here, we just buy the phones and buy minutes and data.
Also, just saw the ZTE Blade for around $110. That might be interesting. One of my students is head of research at ZTE, I'll ask him about it.
The HTC Wildfire S would fit here needs.
htc wildfire s is not the phone she wants.....got many problems with battery,internal memory and touch screen.....u from china right?if u like samsung.....try galaxy ace,fit,pop
if u like lg......try optimus p500....if u like htc.....try htc pico(explorer)....
I've got no brand loyalty. I like good values, good quality for a good price. Also I'm not from China, I'm American but I live in China. I'll look into the phones you mentioned deepakskht1.

You are much better off buying a high end last gen device than a low end current gen device.
phone ideas
hey buddy. my gf has just recently got the sony xperia mini pro. which i can vouch is a pretty nice phone. has a hardware keyboard which slides out. comes with 2.3.5 gingerbread, 5mp camera and front facing vga camera. i have not looked into the development side of it as she is not really into it, but the stock phone runs smooth and fast and is quite hardy little device that can survive the odd hard bump or two. i got it from work for £139 sterling, so not sure how much you would get it for there.
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_xperia_mini_pro-3713.php phone is here ^^
but for someone whos not great with tec and never had a touch screen phone i would definatly recommend this phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1239 link to it on xda ^^ ( i think this is it t least)

Actually, that's where I stand now. The optimus V is the same as the P500, I think. I got it narrowed down to a couple of models:
Wildfire S = $75
Lg Optimus P500 (Korea Version) = $75
Lg Optimus P500 (Europe Version) = $90
Lg C660 = $65
I'm leaning towards the Korean P500, assuming it either has Chinese as a system language, or the rom can be modified to add Chinese. Unfortunately the Korean version of the P500 can't use European roms. I'm not sure how to add a system language, but I don't think it can be that difficult.
best option for u will be htc explorer....it has better processor & better UI. and its cheaper than WFS. Just camera will make a difference as it got only 3.2mp against 5mp in WFS
Sent from my Wildfire S using xda premium
I would buy my gf and myself an htc one x, if I got the money. Otherwise a desire is also nice, I have seen the real thing, its smooth and nice its like a big wildfire s, just dont mind the scroll sensor, it looks ugly in desire pics but in real it looks nice with big screen etc. You decide.

Ive owned the lg optimus V (same as p500/Optimus One) and it was a great phone, i wished i never sold it for my wildfire S, the build quality of the optimus is far better then the wildfire s, under the back cover its nice aluminum and its durable, feels good in hands. Specs are pretty much the same in comparison but the LG has no flash (for camera) ebay has them cheap! But if you do get the wildfire s, its a good phone nothing more or less.
Hi LG guys,
I have general concerns with the amount of dev support that the LG OG series receives. Currently, I am using a Motorola Atrix 4G and I just RECENTLY unlocked the bootloader and rooted it this past weekend and felt a sense of great accomplishment when I completed these tasks after hitting several road blocks. I have to say, I was rather impressed with the amount of relevant information, help, and guides floating around on the Internet a good 1.5 years after its release. I was also impressed with the fact some developers are still working to improve builds.
Unfortunately, I feel a compelled to upgrade my phone since the Atrix 4G does not support LTE. I've been looking at viable options and refuse to go with Apple because I have always loved the Android OS and its possibilities. In fact, I'm even more in love with it now, after being able to put JB on my Atrix.
I did little research and narrowed down my desired upgrade choices to:
Samsung Galaxy S4
LG Optimus G Pro or G2
To be honest, I was set on getting the SGS4 this coming April, however I recently learned that it's likely the S4 will have minimal CM support (if any) and I just can't imagine working with buggy builds for an extended period of time. (I hear the SGS3 still doesn't have a stable CM based build)
So aside from the babble, I was wondering:
1. Is the LG dev community well developed and established? (Might be stupid question to some people, sorry)
2. Does the LG OG line have a stable CM based build?
3. Does LG support the dev community or does it take a Samsung approach (asshole approach) ?
4. How has development and support been for older phones?
5. Does LG commonly make two versions of their flagship phone(s)? [I.E. Samsungs ship with either Snapdragon or Exynos] And which version usually receives a greater amount of developer attention?
6. What's the build quality like on LG OG series? Plastic like Samsung or what? Personal opinions are very welcome.
If anyone else has any info that they feel would further allow me to make a well informed decision, please share it. I know that smartphones are released frequently these days, but I'm still in search for a smartphone that can last me at least 3-5 years (silly I know, but I had a Moto RAZR flip phone forever and loved it). I have yet to find the one ;/
1.The community is given by the users.I guess there is no point in developing for no one, right?So, if there will be many G users, the devs will come too. Right now there a few guys working(thanks for that),but the G(at least the E975 i have) is quite new and it takes time to start things.
2.No, CM is not officially implemented yet.It depends somewhat on 1.
3.Can't really answer that,but,as far as i know, LG is more open to devs than samsung.
4.Why don't you look yourself?Search button is a miracle.
5.No, LG makes only 1 flagship,with differences only in camera,storage and lte modem.There is G with 8mpx,16gb storage+microsd slot and G with 13mpx camera,32gb storage and no micro sd slot.But the CPU/GPU/RAM is identical.
6.G is way better than Samsung's plastics.

I thought about it, but I wanted to get as much feedback as possible.
Personally, if I was going to get any phone right now, I would get the HTC one, with the optimus as my second choice. It will likely have more users and more developers due to greater availability. It has superior specifications, a better screen, better build quality, and supposedly better software. Our phone is great too, just not as new or popular. The glass feels great.

One and optimus are different categories.full hd display vs hd display.compare the one with g pro,s4,xperia z.optimus is top android at medium price.at least here at orange romania,the 975 comes with a super docking station included(LG ND5521).only the dock costs 120 pounds(more than 200 dollars).i payed for my g 300 euros,which a great deal.i could've get the s3 cheaper,but you can't compare them.
I think lg got an unfair bad reputation,since the time lg made phones like chocolate,shine...they were crappy phone,always having issues.but google made the right call and let lg make the nexus4.
Basically,our g is an improved n

I think you should include in your basket HTC ONE (M7) and Xperia Z.
Apart of that.
1. Is the LG dev community well developed and established? (Might be stupid question to some people, sorry) (Not yet, there is a few phones on the market, maybe in the future - People dont like LG, )
2. Does the LG OG line have a stable CM based build? (Not yet, but it will)
3. Does LG support the dev community or does it take a Samsung approach (asshole approach) ? (Neither of them does, but LG seems to be more open about it)
4. How has development and support been for older phones? (Its a market dependent, so, if your phone have been sold a lot, it'll be supported here in XDA, if not, dont expect too much from LG)
5. Does LG commonly make two versions of their flagship phone(s)? [I.E. Samsungs ship with either Snapdragon or Exynos] And which version usually receives a greater amount of developer attention? (LGOG has a lot of model, but basicaly they are pretty much the same, all of them has same processor and screen)
6. What's the build quality like on LG OG series? Plastic like Samsung or what? Personal opinions are very welcome. (My girl has a SGS3 and I'm used to handling it, LG for sure has better built material)

I wont answer all of your questions individually but If I was to buy a phone in the next months, I would go for Sony Xperia ZL. Sony was named OEM of the year for developper support by XDA staff. They have a decent track report of supporting 2011 onward phones.
I also came from a Atrix. It died from the infamous wifi-bootloop-bug-of-death. The LG Optimus G Pro is a Phablet and it might be too large for you. The S4 will likelly get poor developper support since most Cyanogen staff lifted their nose at it.
As of now, the Optimus G dev community is ok but since the phone have yet to be released in Europe, Not many people are working on it. There also is lots different versions of the same phone with some incompatibility. We have CM for the Canadian version but it's not official. Far from it.
Good luck
As some owners says, the new xperia good on paper and terrible in life.
Crappy screen, performance, battery life, a lot of bugs including auto bricks.
I have questions because I might get this phone. Is this the most active forum for this phone?
-do you guys see a lot more development coming?
-is this the forum for the ATT version of this phone?
-how long will it be before anyone actually starts working with this phone? I'm scared to leave my current phone. For a dead one.
-does this take a micro SIM and does it have a SD card slot?
Please answer these questions with the best of your ability. I know I can't ask about development but I wanna know what you guys know before I get a dead cell phone. I understand it's new and will take time. But I wanna know what's going on behind the scenes.

I don't have this phone ... I have LG Optimus 4X .
As you know , Optimus 4X is exactly the same as your phone (one x) . But we don't have any developments .
In a general view , LG Phones don't have a high developers (frankly speaking , don't have any developers) .
LG phones is very cheap with a high performance & excellent hardware , stylish . But I don't know why it's dead in development .
If you want to change from one x to optimus G and want some development, I don't think you will get that .
You can get Root , Unlock BL , Recovery ... but after that you won't get that much of ROMs or Kernels .
I always check one x forum and there are millions ROMs & Kernels . While we aren't even if we have the same RAM , GPU & CPU .
But I'm not sure of Optimus G .
I hope this helped .

Regarding your criteria for choosing this phone,wow,i'm surprised,i mean,if nokia 3310 has more devs ,youl'd choose that?.

Nah, it's pretty quiet hear. A nice getaway from the usual hustle-bustle of XDA traffic. Well, Samsung, HTC, and even Sony, they all have a good amount of developers. The XPERIA Z was released after the Optimus G, yet it's got much more developers than the former. I guess LG phones, even though this is a really good device, don't sell that well, and this puts off developers from developing. So, if it's development that you want, I'd advise you to move to another option or even brand.
You already have the 3 main developpement: CM, AOSP, AOKP.
Comming from HTC, I can understand the need for "more roms", since the OEM does totally blows. But honnestly, LG roms aren't half as bad as HTC!

For the Canadian variant, maybe, but development's seriously lacking for the international E975. We just have CM, but that's a little buggy at present.
Well,chad's version has the call bug and the 8mpx camera,but official cm,with kernel based on lg source,is bugfree.
I tried them both.now i'm looking for a dual boot system,so i can run both official and chad's version untill they decide to merge the projects.if this happens,it will be the best decision.

It's a nightly, not the final, polished version. So, it's surely got to have some bugs. By the way, is GAPPS included, because 180 MB seems a little too small for a ROM? And is there a risk of the EFS partition being erased? How do you work around it if there is?
gapps are never included in CM since version 9
you have to flash it manually

I had the exactly same question before buying OG.
In my case, the painful experience with my Optimus 2X made me circumspect about another LG phone. I look up for Nexus 4 and I found that it has many problems... so I asked myself the question what is the closest best phone to Nexus 4?
It turns out it was OG. Hardware is identical but OG is faster, better built, has an powerful stock ROM, better camera and radio.
This two phones are so identical that can share 99.9% of N4 kernel. So I guess future android versions will be ported to OG with close to none problems.
E975 is recently launched so development is in its infancy but as you can see, we already have official CM support!
My bet is on OG.

i read an article that LG is gonna come out with a new device called LG - Gx wich has the exact same specs as the LG g pro with a little less PPI (401ppi) but with the new jelly bean OS ,
this is more than enough for anyone who has respect for his money to say no in the future to any LG cellular device,
money hungry company who gives a crap and puts even more crap on their costumers over time.

I'm just hoping it has dev support and we can somehow rip the ROM and run it on the G Pro seeing that most of the hardware is the same.
well it look like I was not right......it seem that lg have made the same phone then the g pro....

to be honest I don't understand much why the lg x have the same spec then the g pro?? the positive point is that we gonna problably be able to port his newest rom in our g pro.. otherwise it not gonna be in the category of "flagship" especialy in 2014...
Hopefully LG will update the G Pro alongside it when it releases, although it is weird that lg is releasing the same phone with just newer software...

They're saving a fortune on software updates since they never update anything. Probably cheaper to just release another device and hope the public buys it. After all, we bought the OG Pro, didn't we and knew full well that no updates would be released.
We can only hope to port its stock rom onto our phone.

The LGOGP has 2GB RAM, it's more than enough for running it lag free (mine running very smooth). With Android 4.3< things will be even better thanks to the new Trim function. From my experience 98% of the time the best rom for any device is based on its official release.
LG making a mistake in the long run not updating their devices.
Why not have cm 13 for lg gpro ??????
That´s the reason why my next phone will definitely be a Nexus...
Because our Cyanogenmod maintainer has not updated our phone's kernel (probably missing) and we don't have info on what google_msm kernel/CAF kernel repos or anything we need to update to MM..

There is Marshmallow for LG Optimus G (E975). Also there is Android 6 for Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One (M7) both on Snapdragon 600 so why not for our Optimus G Pro? Is there any hope for our phones?

I don't want to float anyone's boat, but E975 is much widely used... and is basically Nexus 4, so they use everything from there. S4 and M7 are much much more popular than this damn device, so yeah... that's pretty much why
I'm working on 6.0 bringup, but I have issues - not only from software side, but from hardware side too: my battery is slowly dying (and I can't find proper replacement), and looks like my usb board (or connector, let's hope its connector) died this morning, I can't do anything but charge it with all four cables I have and thats it... no serial connection means no data transfer, no adb access, no logs. It basically renders phone useless for any work.
I'm kind of sick of this phone, so I'm not sure I'll even keep this phone anymore... so my efforts towards M bringup are halted for undetermined period.

This phone is at the end of it's development life. We had a good run while it lasted. I ordered a Nexus 6 this week and will be moving on shortly. I'm keeping the E980 as a backup so I'll still try to tinker around with it but for daily use it is time to move on.

Why? I bought my G Pro last year for 240 euro brand new . Its in perfectly good condition, I don't see any reason to replace it . Screen is still fantastic, it has good enough performance, battery life is good - I menage to use it for 2-2,5 day.

While that is great you enjoy your device, the only reason we have custom ROMs on this device in first place is basically a complete hack, and also we have gotten no support from LG at all. All of this combined makes for a very unsatisfactory reputation for this device and hence why development is no longer very active and I do not expect it to pick up activity any time soon or ever (I could bbe be mistaken but this is just my opinion).
Yes, so sad for gpro
So, do you think the same level of support as the G Pro (i.e. minimal to non existent) can be expected on the V10?

Maybe not even that, because OEMs are getting really good about locking bootloaders and such nowadays.
Well as an owner of an E986 for about 2years 9 months and using it a lot of time every day I can confirm that this device is a beast, good performance, good battery,quality... and its like I bought it yesterday! Its so sad seeing G Pro slowly dying... I really hope it will be lucky with cm13
There might be a vietnamese marshmallow/6.0 project. @duongthinh441 mentioned it.
