I was just wondering if anyone was going to get rid of their HOX for a GN2? I love my HOX, but for some reason that GN2 is looking really really good.
Any thoughts?

More powerful processor, more ram, stock Android with updates straight from Google, better dev scene, nicer aesthetics
The N4 is definitely another option. The only reason I'm not leaning toward it right now is because of the camera. I like the camera functionality on the HOX and I'm not sure there are apps that could replace what HTC has done with Sense. Specifically the "best shot" mode.

Oh well yeah that'll do it everytime won't it, excuse me. Is it really that much better? Guess my opinion is unfairly biased coming from an optimus 2x I just dislike LG in general.

It's not really an LG, it's a Nexus designed and maintained by Google. LG just happen to manufacture the hardware
I'm selling my One X and getting a Lumia. I'm just not having much luck with Android as of late.
The only advantage of the Nexus I see is stock android at the moment hardware won't have much of a drastic hit on performance for day to day stuff. Games etc who knows but using it for normal stuff the HOX still performs well.
Sense is another reason, it's good and personally I prefer it over stock android. N4 not having burst mode is a bit pants as HTC have implemented this pretty well on the HOX. You lose screen estate with the on screen buttons making the screen smaller than the HOX despite same size.
I'll still probably pick one up despite what I've said above.
Oh and the SGN2 is a great bit of kit of you can handle the size.

lol, i agree
What's wrong with the Lumia? Seems like a nice device - good camera, and a smooth OS.
Yeah, I'm thinking about it as well, a good camera with Carl Zeiss lens and WP8 OS is what rocking it.
Microsoft is deffinitly coming back with Windows 8, I'm running it on my desktop atm and it's so fast and beautifull.

I don't think I could use Windows Phone. Yeah the Nokia hardware looks fantastic, but the lack of customisation, the ****ty tiles and the below par ecosystem really put me off
Did you have a look in Windows Phone section recently....?
There's a very nice kitchen out there.
I love the live tyles and how light and fast the OS is.
It's so good designed that with a single tab or two you reach the function you need everywhere and you see every update in the tyles.

Note is a nice bit of kit and the grey version looks excellent. Borrowing my cousins device and it's great. First time I've taken this thing on the road and size is simply not that much of an issue and I've got small hands.
The speaker on this thing is probably one of the best on a mobile device a bit like the iPad speakers.
Quite tempted to get one for myself as the battery on it is on another level.
The only downside I see is an AMOLED screen some hate it some love it I don't mind it, it's better than the SGS3 screen and videos and games look lush on it.

Any important reasons, as known issues, common problems or anything to know in order to avoid purchasing for this device?
I've read about battery issues related with being battery li-po type.
Anything that I should know about?
It looks quite fragile and breakable too, but thats another problem, lol.

Problems? You are a glass-half-empty guy aren't you? Lol
I think this is the best phone i could get in this price range, specs wise. At least in my country.
Battery is good so far. Certainly better than Xperia SP, even though it has less capacity. Amazing screen, speaker is clear, good build quality. Camera is a bit meh though. Overall it's a really good phone. The only minus is it doesn't support external storage.
U r not going to have any problems with the battery. The is a excellent phone. The camera with low lighting has some quality issues, and the biggest problem is the lack of updates. We r stuck on android 4.1, the hardware is capable but the software is old, for example u can't use Bluetooth LE devices. ..
Battery will hold about 2 days, depending on your useage
Camera is best when used with another software
Audio quality is bad
The rest is pretty good, if you forget the lack of update from LG.
IMHO, I would go for a Nexus 4, same specs, fraction of the price, better support.
I droped it for 3 times and its ok!
But I bought full insurance

Well, not really. Just a realistic guy who cares about how industry and economy have led us to buy stuff that last 10 times less than things lasted before. I just want those 10 times to be reduced somehow so I study quite a lot what the perfect purchase would be among my interests.
The other phone that I was considering was actually the Xperia SP. Battery on the sp with stock rom performs perfect. We have this phone at home and I saw how it lasted 2 days using airplane mode at nights together with a moderate use along the day.
On the other hand, hardware is supposed to be worse, and actually less energy consumer -2 cores against 4. So I doubt about Xperia sp performing worse than optimus g in that field.

I think he means using third party software to take the photos. But it my experiencie it doesn't help too much since all the software use the same "limit/native values" or whatever u call them (aperture and shutter speed settings and so on) when taking a photo. So that means that, unless the "stock camera software" makes and awful work when choosing what paremeters to use, you won't notice big differences between obtained results.

OEM means "stock", like the one in the stock rom provided by LG.
The "LG Camera" is another software, found in the Play Store:

I don't know how come they called it "LGCamera", beats me! But it's not the camera software from LG!

Well I don't see where you wanna get. Actually I dont know which one do u like the most. I just see a more natural color but a much more noisy shot than with the second one.
Where I want to go is that you can get those 2 results with both app cameras, playing around with manual settings. The problem is that 90% of people don't use them and just press the butom and take the photo.
So what makes the difference when choosing one app instead the other is actually depending only on how the automatic mode works..
In part, I know I can get a better quality on the OEM software using custom ISO settings, but the image will get blurry easely, which is not realy an option unless you take "still subjects".
The grainy feel on the first one is realy beyond what I could consider an "average" quality.

I was torn between buying SP, nexus 4 and LGOG. SP has larger battery capacity and external storage, nexus 4 has direct update from google. But i ended up buying LGOG cos it has better hardware, nicer screen than SP, and larger storage than Nexus 4. I bought my sister the SP though, and she loves it!

Friends I have decided to buy 32gb Wifi model. I have been reading reviews around the net and found that the tablet has touch screen issues due to some earthing problem.
My question is that is this true for the initial batches of the tablet only or for all? My Indian friends hopefully could shed some light on this. How many of you are facing the touch screen problem and to what extent?
I was all very excited to get this tablet guys. I was hoping to get it by next week but this touch screen issue is making me have second thoughts.
Also is this best android gaming tablet? Or is there something more powerful than this around the market?
Please feel free to give your suggestions. Waiting eagerly for your responses. Thanks in advance.

I got my Nexus in April, after quite a few had already been sold.
Out of the box, mine had touch screen issues... multiple responses to a single key touch as well as some unresponsiveness. After doing a Google search, a factory reset fixed most of the issues. I'm left with some occasional unresponsiveness.
For me it's an occasional annoyance. I've found after 30 plus years of playing with computer devices, they all have minor annoyances. Overall, I am quite impressed with the device.

But the Google I/0 is at the end of this month.. Also it will take at least another one month for Google to launch It here in India.. With the fact that initial batches invariably has some problems..
Also isn't this tablet capable of doing almost anything. I know faster and better processors are being released but is there any app or game in android which utilises so much power?
From what I have read the only drawback this tablet has is with the camera and feeble loudspeakers.
Performance wise it's pretty good.. Isn't it?

Hello there,
I am considering of buying a ZF2 and I have looked around at probably 15 reviews on this phone [emoji14] I don't care about design and such but the guides were saying that the brightness and the camera are a bit bad.
Is the brightness really bad on the ZF2 ? And how does the camera do ?
Sent from my Moto G using Tapatalk
Yup, the brightness are a little bit low at max. But still manage to clearly seen under the sunlight. And the lowest brightness are still too bright it hurt my eyes in dark environments. You may use screen filter app to solve this, and started on .90 fw update, the screen filter already implemented by asus. The camera...well, not too bad at this budget. Still can't compete with other flagship phones. If you are an expert at photography, you may consider buy another phone.

The camera is really bad in my opinion. Every photo I take seems to be grainy or just not all that clear. There are much better options out there. The nexus 6 can be had for $299 now. there are also good deals on the note 4 and other devices that are a year old. The brightness is a bit low, but you'll get use to it. It was a great phone for the money when it launched, but there are better options now. It is a good phone, but not great anymore.
I've always been able to use it the whole day. I usually have 10-20% battery left at night when I plug it in.

I prefer the ZF2 over my Nexus 5. The reports regarding the screen brightness are, while true, exaggerated imho. The camera is worse than the Nexus 5's but I don't care about the camera anyway.

I noticed OP posted the price in Euros, I assume he's European, so the median price of a Nexus 6 device in Europe right now is more than 450 to 500 euros at some cases, whereas the ZF2 can be found at 50 or 100 euro cheaper than the Nexus6
For the specs it has, I'd say it's a good offer

true, I've also ordered it and wait it to be delivered since a local eshop had it on a special offer at 339€. Of course, If I could find both Nexus 6 and the ZF2 at the same money, I'd get the first mainly because you can mod it easily and without any repercussions (unlocked bootloader doesn't void the warranty, etc)
But then again, going from my current phone of 512 mb ram and 400 mb internal memory to a rocket like ZF2 doesn't leave me much room for complaints

Of course, If I could find both Nexus 6 and the ZF2 at the same money, I'd get the first mainly because you can mod it easily and without any repercussions (unlocked bootloader doesn't void the warranty, etc)
But then again, going from my current phone of 512 mb ram and 400 mb internal memory to a rocket like ZF2 doesn't leave me much room for complaints

although the nexus has a better stock experience it has a bit lower specs so I might as well get the ZF2 for the bit lower price

Hello there,
I am considering of buying a ZF2 and I have looked around at probably 15 reviews on this phone [emoji14] I don't care about design and such but the guides were saying that the brightness and the camera are a bit bad.
Is the brightness really bad on the ZF2 ? And how does the camera do ?

Im a new owner and I regret getting this phone. Battery life is terrible, camera is mediocre, many weird bugs, screen brightness is a joke, reminds me of my 2011 HTC. Oh and still no Android 5.1 and its probably never coming to this phone apparently and probably same story for Android marshmallow.
Avoid this phone at all cost. You can get a better phone for less IMO. Mine is going on Craig's list if the next big patch doesn't fix the battery life.

I don't care about android version [emoji14] can easily root it anyway and flash ROM. ROMS can easily fix battery life issue

nope, none of the ROM currently available can give this phone a good battery life.

It has better battery life than lg g4 and galaxy s6(had both), so what's your point? If you personally have a bad experience with your unit, that doesn't make this a phone to "avoid at all cost".

I've had my 5x for about a week. Coming from an iPhone 6s plus there's definitely a learning curve. To get through the day I need to limit my use as opposed to the iPhone which could last day. Go for a 6p if battery is a worry for you.
from what device will you come from? to me, its a little bit on the 'weak' side but rapid charging definitely helps and i also carry a powerbank with me 100% of the time.
Xperia ZR
Which Android do u use?

hmm, judging by the specs, going to 5x wont be the 'upgrade' you would be expecting except for the android version if you can, i suggest that you just wait on the next nexus devices which is very near

But the price isn't equal
What phone do u suggest in this budget?
Do not get it. See my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/battery-drain-fresh-reinstall-7-0-idle-t3451094
It drains like crazy for just laying around without being touched and with no apps to sync or do something except for whatsup. It was much better on 6.0.1 but you want 7.0, isn't it? Now, I'm planning to downgrade it to 6.0.1 because 7.0 is a joke for battery. I think new nexus 5 and 6 which will be 7.0 out of the box could be ok, 5x is like a beta test platform for them. 6p is twice the money, so this rules it out.

I suggest you save more for OnePlus 3, Axon 7, or Nexus 6P
