Well i woke up and drove out to sprint way earlier today.
I have to admit, i did give a split thought to the evo3d because they got the 2.3.4 update. But no way could it make everything perfect in that ota. So i went with my original choice.
This phone is sexy. It is really fast... doing side by side actions with the epic on gb, the photon was twice as fast if not more in some areas.
Pure computing power this phone noticeably crushes my epic.
Not once was i frustrated an app didnt open instantly, how
I wanted my epic experience to be.
The fone is growing on me and i love it more the longer i have it.
I love the MOTOBLUR. Great balance between pure google and overlay ui. Very cool experience you cant find with any other oem ui.
Like the extensive integration with social networks.
I love how the stock music player does the lyrics, that was a surprise today. And many other cool things but i have to cut this short. But i have to mention, the screens on the display units are not the same on our consumer handsets. It looked complete trash on the demo, but my fone screen is amazing.. no screen issues at all. I did have call bug very first call. Remove sim and im good.
And lastly, i understand about you guys saying youre not eorried about the Galaxy anymore. I may keep this.
Something about pulling up gps status and getting INSTANT 9 of 9 sats inside the appartment with zero error that makes me feel all warm and goey inside

Very cool you got u one of these Mo-Phos... I think you'll like it.
I'm still on the fence as to whether i'm going to perma-keep mines.. lol
when the GS2 comes out, I'll play with it for sure, but if it has crippled GPS/bluetooth, I'll just stick w/ moto this time.

Hey guys, im thinking of getting a LG Optimus One(p500), is it worth the money? (170 euros over here), does it slow down, is the camera good, etc? or should i get something else?
It's generally decent for the price, there's plenty of roms in the development section for it, the camera is USELESS in the dark though. everything else works perfectly though.
However, there's a few issue you have to take note of.Even though it's froyo aka Android 2.2, because of the hardware, it does not support Adobe Flash Player.And there is a bug in this phone and that is when you touch the screen when playing games or doing anything else, the frames will drop and the phone will lag.It's a touch screen bug I believe.Just hope that Android 2.3 will take care of this problem.Take note of all those things.
Its a great device for the price I bought it in Germany for 242€ on Amazon.
It does have some software issues.
On the Hardware side the device is pretty good.
The Screen is a LCD screen compared to the OLED of the i5700 it doesnt have any pixel problems.
The camera is more then enough for making pictures except in the dark I think even an LED Light wouldn't make so much differences. And who is making pictures late at night? Outside even and LED light wouldnt make a difference.
On new year I will try to make some pictures with it. ^_^
The device does have enough RAM and besides the software-issues its a great device.
I'm sure LG will fix this for their most successful android smartphone.
And we will get Gingerbread...
My first post in here... well...
im using this phone since 2nd December ... i bought it at 205euros [device only, unbranded etc etc...] with car charger + windshield stand.
I previously had an iPhone 3G and sold it because i got bored with that... so actually that's my 1st android device.
For the ammount of money i've spent ... the accesories i got along + a bluetooth stereo that i use for music, i have to say that it's the best phone i've seen!
I've been searching the market after selling my iphone for a new one with android [2.2froyo from the box!] with a price around 200euros and that's the only one i found!
This phone is a bargain and for me the only disadvantage is the Screen lag when being touched [software problem, may be fixed on gingerbread] and the fact that it doesnt have v7 processor so it doesnt support flash [no big deal but... :/]
Hey everyone, got my white galaxy S2, about 3 days ago, and im already having some issues.
Issue #1, the chrome part thats on the perimeter is peeling/chipping. I have 2 spots where this is occuring, both are near the home button where i guess my fingers rub the most. I had a Black S2 before, never noticed that....well maybe because i couldnt see it on black You can barely see it on the 2nd picture in the bottom left corner. Also, around my volume button and power button, the chrome seems SOOO poorly crafted. Its hard to see on the picture, but it looks a lot worse in real life. I wouldnt complain if i had the phone for at least a few months, but after only 3 days? Bought my phone on Kijiji, and it was sealed at the back so i doubt it was used before, unless the seller did an amazing job at restoring his phone to be brand new.
Issue #2, LAGZORZ!! I rooted and unlocked the phone, got RevoHD ROM which ran without ANY lag on my old black S2 and i always used TW4 because thats the only launcher where i had no lag whats so ever. TW is plain but the simpler the better Now thought...i get minor lag in my app drawer and when i scroll screens. Homescreen is crowded with active widgets like youtube and And.Market, now i know its putting a lot of stress on the phone, but i didnt get any of that with my black S2.
Tried RevoHD and LeoMar75 ROMS, tried different kernels, different governors, clock speeds, and i still cant get the same result as i had on my old phone. Experimented with Siyah @ 1600 but kept getting boot loops (this never happened on my old phone).
Anyone else having any problems such as mine with their white S2's?

I don't have the lagging issues, but my silver bezel is peeling off. A lot. Looks like crap really. I've ordered a bumper though to hide it, so at least it shouldn't get any worse.
Hello everyone I hope you all are having a wonderful day.
The Xperia Z Ultra is very cheap in my area right now, $350, and am now wondering if I should replace my Galaxy S4 with this device.
For those of you who have had this device for a while, do you guys think that it would be a worthwhile upgrade?
I also have a Nexus 7, so I sort of understand how this phone would feel in my hands.
Also is the battery life and camera as bad as people say it is?
Thank you for reading and I can't wait to hear your replies.
I would definitely do it. It's not as big as the Nexus 7, but it's still pretty big for a phone. You do get used to the size pretty quickly though. The camera is not directly good, but it's not incredibly bad either. It performs OK in daylight. You can go through the Photos thread and see for yourself. The one posted here was taken a couple of weeks ago by me.
The battery is actually very good. You can check out the Battery thread yourself, but you can expect to get around 5-8 hours of screen time depending on usage.

The camera is ok in really bright locations, if it's anything other than sunny, it's terrible. I just moved from a nexus 5 to this phone, GPe, not sure I'm going to keep using as my main phone.
battery life is great, considering it has such a huge screen
camera is not as great as others. this is a tablet-like phone, not a phone focusing on camera.
if you want a good camera, look elsewhere.
Just learn how to use the camera and it's not too bad in lower light
Battery life isn't bad.. Actually pretty good especially when brand new. Close to two days when new but after many hours of heavy online gaming the battery life has dropped on mine. Still get about a day though.
I recently ordered a Z Ultra online, and now it's on its way!
Can't wait! Thanks for all the reply's! :highfive:
I have seen yesterday in a shopping center in retailer shop, strange behaviour of S6 edge:

Anybody could tell me what happened with this phone or witnessed such thing? Phone was hot but I can't tell if too much, maybe higher temps are standard in S6 world I own S5 and never noticed such temp. It wasn't burning but was unpleasant.
It's not a demo unit just regular phone. I saw that unit few days ago and it was retail one (checked in phone info).
Maybe someone dropped it but there were no sign on body.
That is the beginning of the show game of thrones, but apparently got stuck in that part ?? more serious now, I don't know why he could be like that, that's the first time I hear or see an s6 like that

Hahah, ROFL yeah it is HBO starting I've read about S5 which had the same issue and user just waited with battery out some time and next boot was OK.
But also heard about S4 which after such thing was damaged and warranty services changed mainboard.

Valar Phonoris? All phones must die Who knows what happened to this poor fellow. Maybe Hardware, maybe Software. You can't play around with it, so we probably won't find out
Hi guys,
I'm a long term Android user, but I'm trying to convince my gf to make the switch from Apple to Android.
She currently has an Iphone 4s and is very happy with it except it has ground to a halt as the apple updates have taken up all the storage space.
So she loves the looks of the s6 edge but i've seen really mixed results about the battery life, I don't want her to have a bad experience and then brand android with this issue.
Is the battery really bad?
Many thanks,
Andy
no.....if you root the edge and look for a decent rom (you will find here ) battery life is good,and apps and games ar more cheaper then apple...:good::good::good:
you only pay for the name apple............

Coming from a 4s she probably isn't used to much more than mediocre battery life! And I'm sure she'll appreciate quick charge regardless. Just get package disabler pro and turn off all the crapware. My SOT is 4-5 hours so
I'd say it's has as good a chance as any android device due to TouchWiz features and customisations and the hardware (multi-window, very customisable skin (themes, icon grid, toggles), freedom to drag and drop files, awesome camera and camera software, build/design/feel, quick charge, wireless charge, finger scanner, etc. And Marshmallow coming in the next month or so... the beta is very promising.
Worth a shot....stock android may be too bare for a potential switcher.
