I'm a android man and wanna try wp7 I got two picks the surround and hd7 which one is better and why I want pros and cons thanks
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
Well since u are on AT$T I'll say the HD7S because not only does it have a bigger screen than the surround it also has a better one (SLCD vs LCD). It was also ruled that the speaker the surround has is tinny and no better than TV speakers.
What about the T-Mobile hd7 vs the surround I no about the data but I use wifi

Pretty much weighs down to whether or not u want the larger screen,supposedly the hd7 also has more ram than the surround (512 vs 256)
Surround sucks.
Thanks any main reason why? I just wanna know because I'm trying to trade my Samsung vibrant for a wp7 phone

As said before it's pretty much down to whether or not u want the larger screen,both have the same internals and will run games and apps equally. If I were u tho I would try to see if u can get the HD7S since that's the AT$T model.
Is Samsung Focus not an option? It's much better then any of the two phones you mentioned.
I just got a focus its really nice another question how long does the first update take on zune?

since there's nothing on the device they all should go quick. Since u have the focus and if ur planning to use the micro SD card from ur vibrant. Make sure u put it in before setting up the focus
If i were you, i would wait for Lumia 800 and Lumia 900 instead my friend.
I really suggest looking into the Titan or Titan II. Titan II if you want LTE and a better camera, or the Titan if you want regular 4G with better battery life.
Read 2 reviews for the surround that aren't filled with corporate or market-speak and you'll buy -anything- instead.
Good luck !
Is there special way the sd card has to be formatted? Thanks I'm nee to the wp7 game

I've been using a Surround as my primary smartphone since it was released and I have absolutely no complaints about it. It's fast, fluid and runs Mango perfectly. The speaker is a little tinny, but so is the speaker on my EVO3D. I use Beats earbuds, and the sound is excellent.

I use FL with NI Maschine and Komplete.
To be honest, I don't see the need really for a mobile DAW of any kind. I mean for beginners or people who want to mess around with more than a guitar or drum app, I guess.
The PC version is underrated and really disrespected by teenagers who pirate it and put crappy tunes on YouTube advertising FL. But that's every DAW these days. I personally donated to Image Line because I thought the product was too cheap. This was back at FL 4.0 when I used FL as a sequencer when some bands had drummers who didn't play perfectly on tempo. It helped me and them out a lot. Now I use it for everything except recording. But having it on my phone seems useless. Wouldn't even spend $9.99 for it. Isn't the iOS version like $30? Absurd.

Hello, saw this article about Android 4.5 expected features ( link ) , and the multitasking feature caught my attention. Im about to buy the M8 and was worried whether 2GB ram will be enough for the phone to cope with heavy multi tasking. Other phones like the LG and Sony Z2 are bumping up their RAM.
Any devs have an outlook/opinion on this ?
Thanks!
I doubt really doubt it. the nexus 5 Also has 2 gigs. They are not going to make it obsolete.
Shouldn't put any stock in rumors.

I am sure it will handle it better than the note 2 which only had 2gb of ram. It may slow down performance temporarily but I don't see the phone being unusable especially when not in use. Sure newer phones will always come out but once the "next big thing"comes out the " next next big thing" will be just around the corner. I say get this phone be happy with. And if something comes out which is far superior you can always sell it

Not sure what to do. Should I jump to G3 or hold out for nexus 6. I have a nexus 5 and love it. I have been going cross-eyed from over thinking this and would love some opinions. Any and all feedback is appreciated.

Even if there is Nexus 6, it probably won't be released until early November late October
Get the g3, the Nexus 6 will probably be fantastic, but if you put off for that one, you'll put off for whatever comes up next. Get the phone and enjoy it. Life is short, get many phones.
I'm getting the g3 and I'm wanting to see what Samsung has in line for the note 4 but the nexus 6 is on my radar as well

I am unimpressed with the G3, and plan on shipping it back tomorrow. The "amazing" screen looks like garbage next to my iphone 5s. I'm holding out for the Nexus 6.
There's another topic with the same question already.

BTW The iPhone 5s has a 640p screen I.e. not even standard HD which is 720p and the S5 is 1080p so I hope it looks better. I never understood iphones 'retina' anyway. To me it's more of a marketing ploy but I digress.
The N6 isn't really confirmed or even leaked so we may not know until right before a possible release. I would stick with the G3 and or read through the topic I linked above.

I say get a g3 its a sick phone and if you don't like it just sell it and buy a nexus 6 when it comes out.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
If you are a nexus fanboy I'd say wait because the nexus 6 could very possibly be the very last nexus phone.
Get the g3. I have the n4 and had the n3. Wasn't too interested in the n5. One thing I am certain is that the n6 will NOT have a sdcard

Nexus phone never worked on Verizon, i.e., they are all GSM only, right? Otherwise I'll consider it.

Why not both? Buy and enjoy the G3 now and sell it when the N6 comes out. You can probably sell it for near the price of the N6.

I've had almost all the NEXUS phones, the last two really didn't impress me at all. Too much compromise in the software for the "pure Android" experience. It might have been cool a couple years ago when manufacturers would bloat the phone down like crazy, well... Samsung's TouchJizz is still a major offender but other manufactures have really slimmed and optimized their UI's while adding a ton of useful features. It's now to the point where I feel pure Android is lacking way too much. Also I never had a good camera experience nor good battery life with ANY of my Nexus phones. It also seems like Nexus devices uses lower end components to meet their price quota, lower quality LCD panels, lower binned CPU/GPU's that thermal throttle like crazy, mediocre camera sensors, small batteries ect...
No more Nexus phones for me, unless they release something really extraordinary but I really doubt it with their budget price cap. After owning both the Nexus 5 and G2, it was incredible how much better the G2 was in everything from software, battery life, screen quality and camera. The G2 just seemed way better engineered and thought out, sure it was "almost" twice as much off contract as the Nexus 5 but this really was a case of "you get what you pay for".
I came from the Nexus 5 to G3 couldn't be more happy! Had enough of terrible battery life from the Nexus 5, will not be getting a Nexus phone ever again.

Agreed, I was also pretty unimpressed by both the Nexus 4 and 5. So the OP should just go ahead and get the G3 now. Then he can wait for the N6 release, and when everyone and their mother has reviewed it to death and found any faults, he can then proceed by selling the G3 and buying the N6 if he think it's worth it That's my plan anyway.
i have the n5 as well..it wont last me not even 2 hours...just using instagram snapchat..texts and facebook..sometimes browsing..ive had the n4 before and i dont think i will get the n6..as far as i heard..it is going to have a 5.2 screen..no sd..no ir blaster..the battery will suck..non removable battery it will probably not top out the g3

Iv seen a Nexus 6 on Craigslist for $600. Im thinking, my G3 is everything that is. Im running Lollipop fast and stable. The display isnt as big but 6" is too much for pocket
Resolution and pixel count are on par. Ram and Rom is on par, plus I can add micro sd and change battery. I love my G3 and Im on freakin Verizon. G3 is the best phone out right now....
Please give me opinion i have LG G3 but i want to change device and dont want to pay to much for latest flagships and whant to ask you guys what you think about this 2 phones.What you think about nexus 5x is it better phone over s6.

I prefer a Nexus over any other phone. Not for the design, not for the specs, ... Freedom is everything for me in a phone. Freedom to root, to unlock bootloader, to relock bootloader... and still with warranty. Plus, N5X has an incredible camera this year.
But is ois big problem can you focus easy ?

The camera is one of the 5x's best features. It focuses easily and pictures are taken effortlessly. At close distances (2m or less I believe) it uses laser auto focus such as your LG device.
Camera takes great pictures, but lacks support of recording [email protected] fps. This is an disadvantage comparing to G3.
It all depends what you like. If you like Samsung type devices with overlays then get the S6. If you like a wide variety of custom roms and kernels and all run wonderfully then get the Nex. I used to always get the latest flashship from Samsung back in the day and after experiencing Nexus and XDA I'm all Nex. In my opinion Nexus has the best devs and fact is roms run ALOT better on a Nexus vs anything else. Less bugs, no bugs. I've had many devices since Android began and I love my Nexus's more than any! Now they are making Nexus phones with beefed up specs and cameras. I'm happier than ever. ?
Ps: If I was you I'd wait a few more months and grab one of the next Nexus devices.

It will cost more the new nexus than this nexus 5x
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Stock Android (supported til end of 17) vs TouchWiz
plastic vs glass/metal build
S6 slightly more expensive than N5x (at least in Germany atm)
comparable hardware specs and quality incl camera
I think both devices are different enough to make a decision if you answer what's more important for you.
I want to ask about the birtgtness about nexus 5x is it good for sunlight in day because on lg g3 its a litbe bit hard to see.

And are picture taken form nexus are blurry because dont have OIS ? I mean he cant focus fast and maybe sometimes pic are blury because missing ois.
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA-Developers mobile app
It's not the brighest of all displays, but it's alright. Comes down to what you want to do with it in bright sunlight.
I only miss OIS when recording 4k vids, there's no way for me to get them shake-free unless using a tripod or resting the phone somewhere. Rest of the time there are no problems. There's also a hack to enable EIS on the N5x (it's a N6p feature, but they share camera), needs root though iirc.
Is nexus 5x with android N a beast or no.I think the s6 will be best choice and for sure it will be updated to android N the s6.

If you don't care about root (Verizon S6 doesn't have root past lollipop) and just want a solid reliable basic phone, I would go with the S6. I have both and the S6 is my daily driver. Main reason is I am on Verizon and they don't really support unlocked devices and when i tried my Nexus it was dropping calls. However, i didn't put any effort to make it better. I'm on my Nexus flashing all the time and i need my S6 in case I get a phone call. Nexus however is far more fun and I would get rid of my S6 before I got rid of my Nexus.
I want phone with nice and smooth performance and nice camera and i hope s6 will get android N btw i will buy international s6.

I have just exchanged from a unlocked s6 to the nx5, best move I have ever contemplated and done. I have until getting a gs6 always been a Nexus fan, from a Nexus one all the way till a Nexus 5 they have always been the device that suits me. Until the s6 came out with the new shiny glass casing I thought well this new device needs a try ? god I was so wrong to take the GS route the software is SH-IT! I rapidly traded my device back to a N5X and have never looked back ??
But for sure s6 will have better performance than nexus 5x

Mercz23, why do you even ask you seem to have made a decision already before you asked in this forum. Everyone is trying to tell you that the Nexus 5x is more fun than the Galaxy S6 but still you going for the S6. So why'd you even ask? just go look for a review...
