Thinking about going to another phone what is better to go to?

Hello.
I am thinking of getting a newer phone and am wanting to know what u think of the droid bionic, thunderbolt, rezound, or lg lucid, this are the best phones under 140$ that is why those ones lol. What do u think is better to spend the money on and use on page plus ? Thanks

You'd have to check on page plus. I'm not sure about that one. Spec wise the Rezound is the best phone on your list.

I would like to point out that our device is pretty darn special in the phone-world. It runs the latest software nearly flawlessly and has stood the test of time.
Take just a moment or two perhaps to consider what it takes to make this phone. Wars are fought to obtain the ore used in the display.
Discarded obsolete electronics is then shipped to Africa where environmental laws are lax.
According to a documentary on YouTube I saw i think from journeyman productions, children and adults alike scavenge the toxic garbage that gets piled in a giant heap right off the barge.
Having no other way to sustain themselves, they have no choice but search for copper and other valuable waste product.
Truly a pitiful existence certainly beyond any ordinary westerners comprehension, their only respite is dulling their hopelessness by sniffing hydrocarbons (mineral spirits, acetone, etc).
Just acknowledge these implications to yourself and ask, do i really need this to be happy? Is it worth it? Just because everyone else is doing it don't make it right.
One love.

I read about it. I don't have it sorry. Check out the RAZR forums for more info. I should rephrase and say I knew it got unlocked but I don't know if it got published. It probably did.
Also which RAZR variant? Is it the first one?

I used multiple launchers and different can still get that nt effects combined to get the 3d effect. I also combined multiple widgets working in conjuction with the different launchers. I'm going to make a new video showing how it can be done based around a regular Samsung frame. My device is not rooted but I can still get that rooted eye candy effect. I also added lots of new effects recently which I'm going to make a new video. But thanks

True. Phone looks great but no good to no one if he doesn't tell how to do it. Like I said, a ROM with these mods would be awesome.

What you couldn't be bothered to post a link?

How about a link to where you can purchase the launcher?

Guys have any of you used yandex shell? Free on the play store.
Http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.yandex.shell

It looks real good
I'd like to see the vital stats on that device with all that ...and battery stats too. Could we get those details?

3d ui
download the next launcher... just google it and you will find the apk for it. i went on youtube to check out the laucher and its called 3d next launcher

Hey guys...if you want this launcher that bad just hit up the play store. Check out "SPB Shell 3D"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spb.shell3d it'll run you about 15 dollars if I remember correctly. At least that's how much it was when I bought it like 3 years ago. The launcher is awesome but they suck at adding new features.

It's a old launcher it was cool along time ago but they haven't did nothing new for it in awhile.

Its just as good as spb, if u like that sorta thing. Biggest difference between em is spb is 15 dollars and yandex is free. They look identical so I wouldn't doubt if there's stolen source code.

Next Launcher is garbage.. it's a cheap clone of the SH-06D NERV Magi Launcher. It also isn't worth the $16 price tag.
Here is Magi in action on a Nexus. Sadly the poster never shared how he ported since the SH-06D has the same type of 3D display as Nintendo's 3DS.

Help, trying to find a wallpaper....

That would make an awesome live wallpaper. Have the googley eyes roll to the bottom of the screen when tilted. Or have them look where you last touched.

The commercial was made by a company called Autofuss out of the bay area. Its probably their own image they put on there.

So you DID find the wallpaper though ?? Even if it was just static.
Would be really helpful if you could share where or how you got it.
Even some information about who the character is or where its from would help, looks like some kind of Pixar character, binoculars or robot or something....

No never found it still looking. I think the one supplied by kiara... is a homemade one

No, didn't find it. Just noticed that on all the shots the eyes are in the exact same position so assumed it's not a live wallpaper and immediately lost all interest, that's all

Switching to ART improves performance?

Alright, so I was really unimpressed with the performance of the G3. Laggy and not very smooth. So, I decided to give ART a try and switched. Now everything runs super smoothly, like I would expect from a device I paid 600 € for. Can anyone confirm this?
Running stock ROM, not rooted.

Yeah, sure. However, I didn't get any improvements on the Nexus 4, so I wasn't really optimistic about it. Just wanted to share. I'll check improvements on battery life tomorrow.

I noticed it was a bit smoother . but I found rooting and freezing unused bloatware has made a better improvement however I am not on art at the mo so maybe it will improve even more if I changed it again. I expect this device to be on par with my previous htc one m8 if not better and I still think its just under on performance for the ui I hope it improves as I love everything about this phone its design is fantastic and that's come from a full metal m8

That's a weird "upgrade" the m8 is a fine device.

I'm a apple fan to I buy most flagship devices. Htc one m8 had speaker faults then had screen problems. I gave up with that so quickly but I would say it was mega quick tho to use and the CPU is clocked under the g3 cpu. So I wouldn't say a upgrade

Some of us find the M8 a poor excuse for a flagship device. So many ****ty design choices, the foremost one being the useless speakers that just add device bulk and use up real estate without adding any useful functionality. The killer for me was the placement of the black band with the HTC logo. I was always pressing it expecting it to do something. At least they could have put it on top of the screen where it would not have interfered with the user experience as much.

I thought the design could of been better it just felt to long. Good materials used I thought tho. But saying that I love the plastic on the g3 in my opinion it feels the best built flagship device at the moment. S5 is just awfull I personally think the banding around that is so dam cheap

I applied ART last night and I concur with OP. It a heck lost smoother esp between transitions.
Previously there was an annoying nanosecond delay when switching apps or waiting for my SwiftKey to appear, now it's gone.
Also the response of an app opening is almost instant too.
Give it a try guys... I'm not looking back now

Apart from losing the option to use Xposed, there aren't any downsides. Just remember that when you switch over, it can take 10-20 minutes for all the apps to load at boot. Make sure you have time to do this. You won't have to reset your phone but it will take a while before it's useable.

The only thing I noticed is that the Amazon DE app isn't compatible with my device anymore. However, the perfomance increase is worth it big time.

So far my apps haven't crashed. Regardless as some have mentioned, the performance increase is worth it.
As time goes also, apps will become more compatible with ART esp with Android L ard the corner

G3 runs out of the box as well as any phone out there including those running custom roms.... LG has done a bang up job on it. One reason that devs are lagging I suspect.... Good luck to you...
Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk

Dont really think this post was needed but hey, its here...
The G3 has its drawbacks as any phone does honestly, a locked bootloader is just that. Either wait it out, dont buy it or move along. All this was known prior to buying the phone so its your call, not like its a surprise. The T-Mobile version, being unlocked doesnt have enough base support for Devs to be overly interested in it and will be slow going. Hopefully once a fully working AOSP build is available things, at least for the T-Mobile version should pick up some. If you want an out the box supported phone do research prior to buying it, Nexus, One Plus One, HTC, Motorola etc. Companies that either give you the tolls to unlock, or model lines that are unlocked across all carriers are the way to go now a days...shouldnt be surprising.

So now your wanting the Nexus 6? You said the Note 4 would blow the G3 away so I thought you were set on it. I had Galaxy phones and the Note 2 but got tired of the same design. I'm thinking on trying the Note 4 but still happy with my G3. Also thinking on the Z3 just because it's something different. Last 3 phones were LG G2, Flex and G3. Also thought about iPhone 6 but that probably won't happen.

i thought about the M8 but i couldnt get over two simple things that bugged me, first i didnt feel the screen size was sufficient because of the htc logo on the bottom took too much space and second was the camera, i have a toddler and i need to film everything.... maybe that rumored htc m8-eye..... or nexus x if its not 5.9' size.
so much to love about the G3 as well, if business picks up here in the following month i wont feel the pressure to jump one more time.
love the feel, the size of the screen is perfect, and the bezels alone just make this easily the best looking phone of the year.
