[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

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.

Help me in buying DESIRE. !

I am a proud user of LG Optimus one which s a fabulous phone due to dev support here @ XDA. I am thinking of buying Desire. I have few questions.
1. I am an audiophile . So i need an in ear earphones for Desire. Is ther any?
2. How s the dev support for Desire. Does it support well known roms such as oxygen, cm and MIUI?
3. I read bad news about the Sunlight legibility, battery and build quality of Desire. Any comments?
4. Does Desire have any other problems?
Thanks guyz. Awaiting response.

1. Supplied one is not in ear. You can (have to) buy separately any std (3.5 mm)
2. Dev support is very good. One of the best as Desire is HTC best product for 2010 and early 2011
3. Build quality is great better than any galaxy series, Battery is user specific - I dont find it terrible. Yes in direct sun light I find display little dull.
4. Desire have low internal memory so if you like more app you need to root, create ext partition and SD card and install any custom ROM. if you are planning to do that anyways its not a problem.
I am using desire since 1.5 years without any problem and tried many available ROM doing great for me, but I advice you to look for other options as Desire is old product and almost all users are in their end of their cycle. I dont know your buying preference but if you list down everyone can help you suggest more models.

I am looking to buy desire because i found it at an offer price of 15300 INR. I think there is no other good models compared to desire @ this price range. Am i right? Or is ther any?

So you want something for budget of 15000.
1. I just got Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo for 14750 (With out bill) which is twice better than my Desire. Neo V even goes 1000 Rs less.
2. Motorola Defy+ in 15500-16000
3. I am not sure but check Samsung Galaxy i9003 something which is also around 16000
4. There is one LG model also in 13000, cant remember name.

What are the disadvantages of desire. is defy+ better than desire ?
Without bill is without warranty right ? What if the product fails ? Warranty ?

Comparison of Desire and Defy+
Desire released in March 2010 while Defy+ in Sept 2011. Recent product so they will get official update.
Better CPU and GPU and double ROM.
Its dust and water proof.
1700 battery instead of 1400.
Those are the advantages of Defy+ over Desire.

Yes without bill is without warranty.
Let me explain how that works for me giving you example by my Neo purchase.
Neo officially available at around 18000+ and without bill it is 14750. So difference is 3000+ rs.
When they sell they give you demo and you can check and later you pay. If something wrong later also it wont cost me 3000 for sure. And I almost bought around 8-10 handset in last 3-4 years for my friends and family without bill and did not get complain.
And when you buy android handset and you root it your warranty is gone anyways.
So you have to decide its risk worth or not. Sometime bad luck is enough

[Q] Planning to buy One X

Hi,
Dear One X users,
I am planning to buy an Htc One X/X+,so is it worth to purchase One X ??

Why open a new topic.....Read here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2761748

No you shouldnt. Its already outdated. And it has bad battery backup riddled with insane high temperature. If you can get this under 100$ then great. Else get one with any quad Snapdragon processor.

Ok thanks for your help.

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.

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!

[Q] HTC M8 or HTC M8s???

Hi,
I've signed up to a new phone contract with a HTC One M8 Gold colour as the handset.
However, I was sent the HTC M8s instead.
I call my provider and they said they will replace the M8s with the M8.
But I've had a look at some reviews online and I'm not sure which is better, the M8 or the M8s?
The M8s had a octa-core chip but at a slower speed and the cpu is 64 bit. The M8 is quad-core 32 bit but the speed is faster.
Battery capacity is a bit better on the M8s but no one seems to be sure if these "advantages" in spec work out to better performance on the M8s in real life.
Also, the M8s is priced at a mid-range phone whereas the M8 is still priced as the flagship price range.
So could anyone offer me some advice on which one to keep, the M8 or the newer M8s???
Thanks,
Shuja

Keep the M8 - it's better
It's an older flagship, so it has better support here
Also s615 is worse than s801

Thanks. I'm leaning towards the M8 so your comment just backs that up.
Anyone think the M8s is worth keeping ahead of the M8? Let me know your views please.

Shuja
