Hello, honestly I do not know where to post this since it speaks about multiple phones. So I came here to post this.
If this is not the right place to have this then please mods/admins move this to where it needs to be! Thank you in advance.
ALRIGHT
So, for the past while now I have been looking for a replacement phone for my G2 (which sadly now has a broken screen, I have been using screencast to operate the phone for weeks now. However I can still answer the phone normally when called without the need for a computer system thanks to easy memory.)
Since my upgrade is already available I do not know if I should try to get the GSIII or the LG Nexus 4 (god willing if it actually comes to T-Mobile). I want a phone that will last the time needed for me between now and my next upgrade in 2 years. (I am not fortunate enough to buy off contract, if I did this would be entirely irrelevant.) While the GSIII offers the popular end and will probably get the best AOSP for a damn good long time, I also find a great appeal over the LG Nexus 4 being able to get stock updates on the fly upon release, while I would still consider AOSP for the Nexus 4 because of the added options as well.
Basically it comes down between the two and what is the best choice when it comes right down to quality + support + longevity over the next 2 years. I know a lot can happen within that timeframe, but I do not want to be forgotten so soon like I was with the G2. Plus I want to be able to have an absolutely wonderful experience with customization with little limitations.
I know its foolish to consider the Nexus 4 considering that its not officially out yet nor do we know it will be offered by T-Mobile US. I also know that even with a top of the line phone there will always be something better around the corner that will topple mine. Finally I know that the focus of the AOSP community will shift on to other projects while whichever one I choose now will not remain the prime focus forever.
I just want a phone that will get me as far as I can between my 2 year cycle. Growing with a "pure" experience with the G2, soon followed by AOSP and after that AOKP. I want to be able to get the same (or hopefully, MUCH BETTER) experience out of that, I have no problem rooting (hell I remember the days when the G2 was damn near "impossible" to root) and if anything I would probably end up rooting my phone as soon as I get it in my hands.
The only limitations right now between these two and me is my patience, and the luck that the Nx4 will come out on T-Mobile. Again, with my current situation with my G2 I do not have much time left to decide. I have been waiting long enough and with most of the information we have on both of these devices that I am looking at I think it can be time to consider which one I rather get.
Please, help me decide which one I should get next! The GSIII or the LG Nexus 4?

The nexus 4 will most likely launch in November and based on the leaks and rumors (Low memory, no LTE, 8mp camera and such) it will not be subsided by a carrier. The nexus 4 will probably only be available via the play store and will be a relatively low price (roughly $400-450) for an off contract device.
Anyways, back to the device selection. I would say s3 is your best bet, but we wont know officially until the nexus 4 reveal on the 29th.
I have now owned the G2 for only 2 weeks and it has been out for nearly 7 months. I have never been more excited about a phone since owning a Note 2...
I have owned 5 devices (Note 2, Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Moto G, Optimus G, Galaxy Nexus - in no particular order.) in the past year and none of them have ever gave me the wow factor that the G2 has given. I believe I will own the G2 until it be breaks...
With this year's release of new flagship devices, do you find yourself wanting to upgrade?
The point of this thread is to ask you guys, "do you always upgrade to the next best thing, or do you use your device til it breaks.?"
This is the first time I have felt that a device will suffice for the next few years...

I really haven't been this amazed by a phone that's for sure...Just like you I have owed many phones this one has impressed me in every category.I believe I will keep or try to at least for 2 years.
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk
I usually keep my smartphone for at least 2 years because that's the time you're usually bound to your carriers contract over here in germany, after that you can get discounts on new phones if you prolong your contract
I wouldn't exactly say i'm a smartphone nerd although i like to play with custom roms and stuff but i was really excited to get the G2.
I had the old galaxy S Plus before the G2 and of course that's a huge difference. But the only thing i really needed the G2 for was the better camera and gaming performance, for everything else the S Plus with CM 10.2 was good enough for me and my wife is still using it.
I guess i'll keep the G2 for at least 2 years because i can hardly find anything i don't like about it except no sd slot and no changeable battery but i don't really need that since i got the 32 GB version and the battery life is good (if you don't play game a lot that is).
Looking forward to the G3, should qualify for a Jump upgrade by the time T-Mobile gets it

Sounds like most of you guys are pretty satisfied with the G2.

Sent from the LG G2
I'm satisfied with G2 too. Maybe the 1st device I didn't try to root & install custom rom the moment I bought it. I used to be attached to Samsung phones so G2 is the 1st break for me. Well, I'm glad I made the break!
About not changing the phone, well that depends on how LG rolls out updates in future. I might just get fed up & change to other brand if support for update is scarce like now.
Sent from my LG-D802
Tbh the G2 is still the best phone on the market, including the HTC M8 and SGS5. There really is no reason to change unless you simply want to. Nothing that has come out this year is worth any out of pocket expense. Perhaps when the Note 4 is released this fall, then maybe.. if you like Samsung. Even then, I think we have reached a temporary lull in smartphones where anything new is a very, very slight improvement. I wouldn't switch until something blows me away, and nothing so far has.
As crazy as this may sound to some I honestly dont know how anyone can
A) have only one device at a time
B) hang onto to it without at least upgrading to something else after some time.
I bought 5 devices in 2013 all of them outright...still have 3 of them (G2, Note 3, S4)..and so far this year these have my attention:
G3
G flex (if it had sd card support id have it already)
G pro 2
Z2
and thats so far and its not even april yet lol..probably end up with 3 or more new ones this year even though I had wanted to slow down a bit...but whats a guy to do lol?
Theres guys who go through alot more devices than me around here though...u know who you are!

I also go through phones very quickly but I have never owned more than one at a time. I just enjoy a change every now and then, sold my note 2 for the LG G2 and now I'm looking at selling the LG G2 for a HTC one M8 or just buying the device to use alongside my LG G2 since I'm not sure if i could let this phone go xD.

I hope so because I am not sure my wallet could take me buying the M8 but temptation always get the better of me >.<
Just got a G2 today. Since I immediately installed SlimKat on it, it's pretty much identical to the Nexus 4 its replacing but with a bigger screen and better camera. Progress marches on. Before that I had a One X running AOKP and before that a Motorola Atrix running CM10. As Android gets better, the hardware it's running on seems to matter less and less with each new phone for me... The G2 is nice though. Battery life and the contrastier LCD really swung it for me vs. the Nexus 5. The only thing I don't like is that it looks sorta Samsung-ish... And I have an irrational hatred of Samsung.

I got the G2 a few weeks ago because I dropped my S4 and the screen shattered. I used my son's upgrade, so I can still get the G3 in a few months I'll give him the G2 when it does.
Neither S5 nor M8 is attractive enough for me to upgrade from my G2. The only regret I have, since I just bought it 3 weeks ago is how I missed the buzz of One Plus One. Had I known it earlier, I might will wait for its release before buying this monster. LG did well with this phone and I wonder why the demand for G2 is quite low. It's a well rounded device and cost me less than an S4 here in my country (we don't have carrier contracts here and purchase the phone outright).
The Note 4... Guess we should talk about it!? I like what I see from it. An upgrade from the Note 3 for sure, albeit not a major overhaul. Personally I will probably hold off until the Note 5, but I do hope to see some of the new software changes make their way over to the N3. So what do you guys think? Who's jumping ship?!

I do hope that the N3 gets the updates. If not from a regular update, then through a rooted version of the Note 4 software made available to the N3. I am currently using Jasmin, but I keep having lots of issues and would love an N3 version of this software update.
I would stick to my note 3. I really don't see any reason to go to note 4... not worth it

Work provides a N3 but I will wait to get the next one anyway, I have an S5 laying on my desk that I don't use. If I were to upgrade now I would get the Note Edge though not the 4

This right here....
I have the Note 3 now and am happy with where I am at now. I have hotspot as well as root access and it is incredibly stable. If I am going to upgrade, I am going with the Note Edge.
I'll wait and see what happens with the bootloader 1st. Whoever has an unlocked bootloader will get me there. Lol

Got the Note 3 first day it was out based on Samsung reputation. BIG mistake. Love the features but the radio sucks. I'll wait to see if the radio/antennae problems have been fixed and then I won't consider it until it is rooted.
I'll wait till the N5 drops. Hopefully by then, it wont be about who can get the next model out and focus on more important things. I would like to see some improvement on the modem and CPU. I won't go and settle for the N4 that has basically all of the N3 qualities except for a higher megapixel and the heart monitor added. My wife's S5 has that, and we don't even use it. So that feature is just more bells and whistles to me. I need more RAM, and better quality radio personally.
Sticking with my Note 3. I am on VZW. So that thing will be locked down for a while. That I am assuming based on the current situation with the Note 3 bootloader. Also, they went back to USB 3.0. That also kills it for me. I am all 3.0. Especially since I am home one minuet and go eat the next. And I fill my memory fas. So I need to unload it fast. I will say this but with a bit of dissatisfaction. They did not leave us all out I the water like others. They kept the mSD slot. But allowing for only 64Gigs!? Oh well, I will wit for maybe the next gen, and most likely only if it gets rooted. But most definitely if the bootloader gets unlocked. Though not holding breath on that. LOl!

Note edge look like a better buy than note 4
Yeah, it seems a bit odd to have abandoned the USB 3.0... I have had no complaints about the connector on the N3. Seems like many people are going to skip the Note 4. Maybe they get a bunch of Note 2 users to upgrade, as many of them skipped the Note 3 for the same reasons. Not really a knock on the phone itself, and kind of nice that Samsung sticks to what works and doesn't make you feel like you have to get a new phone every year.
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
They needed the extra space used up by the USB 3 port for other reasons?
As long as the N4 can be rooted I expect SS will be made to work on it. Likely the same for the Edge.
If you already had it implemented why get rid of it. I don't have anything that runs 3.0 but that wider connection makes it a lot more sturdy. I've had more than one phone where the standard micro usb plug gets really loose and inconsistent (and I never use my phone when charging). The locked bootloader is the biggest deal breaker. If I had known the version note 3 bootloader would never have been unlocked I probably would have gone with a different phone but replaceable battery and as card are almost just as important

Put my vote down for the Edge as well. I like many of the Note's features and love the size, but agree that there isn't enough difference between the 3 and 4 except maybe a metal backbone.

For what it's worth, I think the camera is going to be the biggest seller for me. While I love my Note 3, if I've forgotten to turn Smart Stabilization off, I often miss photo opportunities with my kids or dogs. I'll take a picture, and then the 1 or 2 seconds it sits and process results in blurry shots or missed shots. I think I may jump to N4/Edge and sit with it for a few years as long as the OIS is as good in real life as they portrayed it today. The Note series has been great minus their sluggish cameras.
I have been searching for a custom ROM For the Galaxy Note 3 that's of the latest build, Android 6.0 Marshmallow but been unsuccessful. Does anyone know of one that has all of the features working?
None that I have found.

I guess it's because our AT&T version is still locked. We can't even get a port of the 5.1 from the S6, Note 4 or Note 5 because the bootloader is locked and we can't change the kernel. That's what I understand.
The problem is that it's now an old phone that is also locked, no developer will work on this anymore. I'm on Aurora and it's really good and everything, but I'm guessing that it won't continue further...

I decided to stay with ATT but not too use their phones. I decided to use a phone with an easily unlockable bootloader and Android 6 like the Nexus 5X or 6P. I decided to go with the 128 gig 6P after over 2 years with the ATT Note 3. No regrets here (other than having 1 warranty replacement relating to the 3.5mm jack). Battery life is so much better that the Note 3 (might be partially due to Marshmallow) with its 3450mAh battery. Along with fast charging. Also several tools for those not wanting use fastboot or ADB commands. There are 20 something roms to choose from at the present.

I wish there is other good phone w/ decent stylus aside from the Note series from Samsung. Just a bit of competition, that's all I ask for, but none. Right now I'm the Note 4 international, and I might stuck with it for another year depend on what the future hold. The problem with Samsung is that it take them forever to get ROM update. It has been 6 months and there is still no Marshmallow. OK, forget the Marshmallow, just the damn bugs fixed would keep me safer, but no. So, the choice is left between running unstable up-to-date custom ROMs or running older ROM but not have up-to-date patches. Seriously, I'm so ready to ditch Samsung any moment now.

For me it seems a bit narrower (Good) and taller, (neutral) It is nice if you wear shirts with front pockets, the camera clearly is above it, so you could shoot video from a short pocket...

I went for S7E... Waited 2 years! 2 years for a NOTE... 5 was not released in EU and now this sh1t with N7... Maybe next year if it's as good as that day phones are I will sell S7E and finally get a NOTE. Fingers crossed!

I had finally decided I would look into a Note 5. I also skipped the last 2 notes and held out for the 7. I passed this time again when I saw the Note 5 was still going for $729 at T-Mobile. I know I am being ridiculous in the end. But if I wont pay that much for the S7/S7E and its damn near identical, there is no way I would pay that much for last years model. I know we Note owners are very particular, but I refuse to pay that price for something I don't really want but is just a means to an end.
ZTE Axon 7. It has stereo speakers, dolby, and half the price.
if you do not really really need the stylus, could be a perfect replacement.

this has been discussed 1000000 times already.
because OP3 is FHD (not QHD), does not have QC3.0 and stereo speakers with high-quality audio dac, for example. depends on your needs... you need to make this research on your own, and make the decision.
Sticking with the S6 edge plus until the note 8 I guess. It's the only alternative 5.7" QHD super amoled android phone on the market other than the note 5 that didn't make it to the UK. However, there is the Honor note 8 buts that's a 6.6" which is a little too big for me. Although it does boast a samsung QHD super amoled panel, so it might be worth looking for guys with big hands but in my opinion its not as sleek looking as the note 7 or the s6 edge plus/note 5 for that matter
I highly recommend the S7 Edge.
My friend got the Note 7 on launch and still has it to this day, however he is thinking about switching over - finally, and he chose the S7 Edge.
When it comes to pretty strong phones in terms of the hardware and functionality side of things, either the S7 or S7 Edge if you want something that has the edge features and a bigger screen.
I previously had a Note 4, then went to down to an S5, then up to an S7 Edge. Odd I know.
Comparing a Note 7 and an S7E side by side there's not much difference to be fairly honest.
Wouldn't go with an S6 - Not IP67 certified and no SD Card slot
Alternatively - buy a cheap phone for the time being until something that you really like comes out
TBH, I don't think there's any device on the market at the moment that can replace the Note 7 or Note 5, features/hardware-wise.
The LG v20 somehow tries to, but it's still a vastly inferior product in my opinion (not a bad phone, just not on the Note 7's level)
Samsung Note 5
Found a great deal on Woot for Samsung Galaxy Note 5 32gb. $369.99 Grade A refurbished. This should hold me over until this all gets sorted out next year.
