I've decided top but a new smartphone but I can decide between Samsung galaxy s3 or the Google nexus 4 ... Please help new decide
Thanks

Owned a nexus 4. It is honestly the best choice. It has better specifications and better dev support. But isf you are a heavy user and you play games and diqnliad tons of music, go for tye s3 because ofbthe removable battery with extended battery capablities and the mirco sd slot
Sent from that one guy with the cool phone
I'd allways take a google phone first, but (IMO) the Nexus4 sucks, so I would choose the s3
Also, if you like the pure android interface, you can allways flash the CM 10.1
regards - Cartman
i would defently go for S3
nexus 4 is boring it is so bareboned with software
and also the on screen buttons take the space away
Samsung Galaxy S3 is amazing phone, you can always flash a custom ROM which will make your phone to work as fast as Nexus 4!
And yes, Touchwiz ROM is quite slow, for example to open contacts it's takes about 4-5 seconds, but if you will flash a custom ROM this problem will gone!
Anyone else?
Thanks for the replies guys

Not really. To have off screen buttons they'd have to have made the screen smaller. If the s3 went for on screen buttons, the screen could have been longer but it would have been as useless as not being an extended screen. Buttons on screen or off screen leave the same amount of screen left over only the latter is easier

So what's your decision guys ? S3 or nexus 4?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2
I wouldn't chose the n4 over the s3. I like things many phones dont offer such as sdcard slot and removable battery. On paper the n4 is better but its less practical for me and dull looking. I wouldn't ever buy a 1 year old phone either....
So if I was in the market today id probably go insane and put up with what I had and see what next year brings

about S3 and N4, IMHO the main different is ram.. S3 1gb (800mb) Vs N4 2Gb (1,3gb CMIIW).
whether the difference in the amount of ram has a big influence on System android? especially for Jelly Bean OS 4.1.x - 4.2.x - 4.3.

If you want a lagless android or close, it will be the sgs3. Even the galaxy nexus had some lag and one x also lags.
All the videos and reviews say sgs3 is buttery smooth and no lag.

Yeah he is probably right cause Android is very resource hungry and with many apps open even 1gb RAM is insufficient.

Yeah, I was going to say the same as some others. I have an sgs2 and its lag free in all the menus, swiping screens and such. In fairness I'm long gone from the stock rom and this makes it in that way an unfair comparison to the stock iphone 4. I would add that I have seen some lag here an there on the iphone and I wonder about it when I see people say its lag free. I would have no quibble with saying its smoother than most android handsets but lag free I cant really agree with.

Don't believe anything you hear about a "buttery smooth" Android device. They all lag. The SGS3 lags horrendously and the stock ROM is actually slower than an SGS2. The overall frame rate is MUCH lower everywhere. The SGS3 completes operations faster, but the frame rate of any action is low and it looks choppy and stutters. CM9 on an SGS2 is far superior in this regard.
Go to a showroom and use all the latest Android devices one by one and then finally use the iPhone 4S. You'll walk away laughing at the laggy Android devices and at how they continue to fail at this simple UI principle for years in a row. Of course, you should still buy the SGS3 over the 4S.

Android won't lag if you don't install poor and stupid apps that keep killing your RAM/CPU with their damn background processes and stupid widgets.. but NO! OF COURSE! it's androids fault! It's their fault because i downloaded a **** ton of 10 year old crap apps! Horaay! for narnia!
Seriously.. -_-', My S3 just won't lag at ALL, i know what to install and what to avoid..
And with jellybean coming, you probably won't see much difference.. it's buttery smooth already.

On a personally optimized device, the best you will be able to achieve is bringing the frame rate up to 60 such that the animation appears fluid. However it still wont scroll properly. As you drag your finger up and down it will random jump back and forth by a few pixels and teleport around or suddenly fly to the top or bottom of the list at warp speed.

Flash Note 2 ROMs on a Note 2 and SGS III ROMs on an SGS III.
People have been getting into trouble flashing ROMs made for the international Galaxy S III on their American/Canadian Galaxy S III's, so no, flashing a Note ROM on an SGS is going to be very painful and cause damage.

On a serious note, no pun intended. The feature i'd like ported to the S3 is the split screen multi-tasking. It should allow you to do more things at the same time. The problem for the S3 with this feature though is the 1GB of RAM, but the I9305 solves that.

Heres a vid of it in action.
Chuck Norris can, not only unbrick iPhone into concrete-not-brickable Galaxy S3 , but can symbianize Windows 7 into androidlike icecream sandwich with jelly beans inside covered with gingerbread crumbs.
Just curious what everyone thinks about their galaxy note 2? Anything you really like about it, really don't like about it? I just got it && i love it! Touchwiz isnt that bad to me. May try aosp but i dont know yet.
I'll never go aosp on this phone due to the superior features of touchwiz. Multi Window alone is worth keeping touchwiz for.
Sent from my Note II using Tapatalk 2
I agree with Mac. There are too many features in touch wiz that I wouldn't want to loss by going to AOSP. multiwindow and s note are things I have integrated into my normal day.
That said, I still think this phone on touch wiz is better than my old galaxy S3 on AOSP. The battery life alone was worth the upgrade.

I love *almost* everything about it, I just wish it was LCD. I hate AMOLED, and that fact alone almost made me get a DNA. I'm glad I got this one instead, and the screen tuning in Perseus makes the screen look much better, but I admit that I still have some concerns over the longevity of RGB-stripe AMOLED. We'll see in time. I don't usually keep a phone more than a year anyway, so I'll probably have a new phone before any long term problems crop up.
I'm happy with the note 2 (with cleanrom); I woudln't mind it being a bit narrower and thinner and having an external sd slot (like the razr) and hdmi out (I know it has mhl) but otherwise it is fine and dandy. I would not have purchased it if the bootloader had not been broken as I really dislike verizon 'enhancements' to the device (if you call breaking things an enhancement).

Kind of wish the blue one was available when I made the purchase but otherwise white is fine and dandy.

I just got mine yesterday, came from a Galaxy Nexus. I absolutely love it. The bigger screen is awesome. And the battery life is SO SO SO much better. The GNex would drop 70% in my pocket while at school, and I could never get more than 2 hours of screen on time. Whereas with this, on one charge, I'm at 4 hours of screen on time, I've flashed 3 ROMs, and did an hour and a half of driving with bluetooth audio playing music, and my phone just hit 5%. Plus, the GNex was starting to feel slow and choppy, and this is the exact opposite.
Only thing it is missing is the blacked out screen and on screen buttons from the galaxy nexus. Great phone!

THIS!
So I'm coming from a Samsung Infuse, and honestly, this phone cannot piss me off even more than I already am. I'm talking about constant resets (stuck power button), terrible GPS reception, UNBEARABLE LAG even with the latest paranoid android, and finally, messed up APN settings which bares the phone useless since I can't have any service on it! So now you understand of my struggles with my current phone. I'm in search for something that I can rely on and won't have even the slightest bit of lag after 2+ years of owning it.
Now, I've been doing some research on some phones (gs3, htc one x, htc one, gs4) And I come here to find out your honest opinion on the GS3 since the time you've owned it. Should I save some cash buying a GS3 or a One X, or are there some sort of problems with these phones that have ticked you off that I should consider paying the extra buck and looking at the 2013 flagships instead?

S3 have bad multitasking management, huge delay when you open dialer, mms and galery app.
I have spent lot of hours to fix these issues thanks to xda devs. It is a good phone (huge battery removable, good screen, ext sd card, powerfull) with a bad programmation.

All i'm saying is to get a phone with 2Gb of ram. S4 or even the S3 with 4G is fine. The N4 is subject to different considerations (do you want an sdcard, etc) but it's a powerhouse too.
While the S3 nearly doesn't lag at all, not having multitask isn't fun and you'll definitly have a better experience if your apps aren't closing all the time due to lack of memory. This annoys me to no end and i'm replacing it whenever an oportunity arrises.

I haven't been using my phone much over the past few days because I have been at home, but my phone has been dying in the early afternoon. Massive increase in power use since installing themer. I'm using a DHD (ace) which is pretty old and hacked together so it may not be themers fault. But definitely has me thinking about going back to Nova until i get my new phone (Nexus 5 come out already!)

It doesn't use THAT much ram! Your phone must be old or cheap if that's an issue.

Well it does use a huge amount of RAM (depending on selected theme). I have seen 250+MB usage for most of my favorite themes.

For some phones, that is a lot of RAM. Not for phones like the HTC One or Galaxy S4.

Yeah, I know, but it should try to aim as much devices as possible, and the most usual configuration right now is 1GB RAM (as low/mid-range devices are the vast majority of devices out there). A launcher is not an app to be aimed for high-end devices as themer is just a compilation of widgets/icons & wallpapers, and there are not so many to have that usage, as for example Action Launcher takes about 100MB RAM having 4 widgets on screen with much more information than for example the text or image widgets of Themer.

But even for a device with a gig of ram, 250mb is just 25% of the ram used. The other 75% is for whatever. It's still not enough to significantly slow down a phone. What the heck are you doing with 75% of ram?

Well, Android is a resource-hungry OS, and some apps do get a good amount of RAM too, I usually have about 200-300MB free, using Action Launcher, but as soon as I get Themer, RAM goes low like hell ( < 50MB). You know, system optimization makes a lot, and system-apps too. With a clean phone mine has about 400MB used.

Okay.
What phone do you use, if you don't mind me asking?

Not bad specs-wise. I've never heard of that brand, though. What carrier is that on?

It is a chinese phone, it is not on any carrier (as most chinese phones with MTK hardware).

Ahhhh okay. Cool.
Perhaps MyColorScreen could do some tinkering with Themer to work better with mid-range phones. I've kind of forgotten what mid-range phones are like. I haven't had one in almost two years.
