After owning the galaxy there's no question in my mind most of us will remain with Samsung and android especially people who use custom Roms. But what's next after having this amazing phone?
It has been a year now since I've had mine, and obviously its soon time to upgrade.
For me I think ill skip the galaxy S 2... I don't think its worth the upgrade just yet.
I am waiting to see if Samsung will release a phone with 2gigs of ram and maybe a quadcore? 2ghz CPU?
That's my dream within the next year but that's unlikely so ill likely settle for 1.5 gig in each and dual core CPU.
I wonder what area will get more attention in the near future.
Galaxy S III but its not out till later next year or the Nexus Prime
Possibly a Nexus 3 or a Galaxy S III. I really wanted a Nexus One but the GS is my first Android phone and the Nexus s wasn't all that appealing to me. I don't plan on buying a new phone until early next year so right now I would say it could be either of those two.

I'll skip the SGS2 also and wait for number three, right now with all the custom roms I am very pleased with my SGS
What do you guys believe should be the focus of future upgrades?
Battery life?
More features? 4g etc nfc .. better front facing camera?
Or performance improvement?
We know they will attempt to do it all but the likelihood of pulling off everything is very low.
Samsung Galaxy Note 5,3 Zoll
SGS II .

I think that they must give us a battery which can last for days otherwise, why do I need the phone which is on the power almost every night? What if I want to take it to the hiking or camping? Or, they can make solar cells in the back. There is nothing else that they can add to this phones , maybe altimeter, barometer. But I think they will go the pc way, programs and games will get bigger and needy, so performances will follow..

There was a rumor going around that Amazon was making a Mobile Phone. The battery cover had solar cells on the back.
I have a G2x right now, and I'm in no rush to upgrade. My phone is up to par with most devices out right now.

Definitely not a phone bigger than the SGS.
I want a phone, not a tablet. The Prime and the SGSII are automatically eliminated.
Fortunately my SGS and Atrix will buy me time, until the right form factor comes along with the extra muscle under the hood...

For anyone else not happy about battery life on the SGS, get yourself a Samsung Armani 1650Mah battery. (Same physical size as stock!)
I get a day to day and a half with no problems, and I abuse my battery. (especially with the display and browsing)
I can easily make it through the day on a full charge...

i wonder how the sgs-2 is doing
as an upgrade from the sgs i9000 should i go for it or is another crazy specd phone out ?
thinking of upgrading but will still keep the sgs as a backup
4g is out of the Q since my provider is only thinking about it, latest models from htc? samsung? Sony?
looking for top of the line specs here
If you are looking for top of the line you should consider the SGS2. I just played with this phone for an hour and it is blazing fast and really beautiful, the widgets, touchwiz, bigger screen, animations, time of response...everything is better.
And it has no real competitor.
Just check some reviews betwen HTC Sensation vs. Galaxy S II vs. Optimus 2X and you will see that it is not a head-to-head competition.

I'm getting ready to dump this sob of a phone... I mean the battery sucks so bad, I cant go a full day without it dying on me and I hardly ever use it, I'll lock my phone and look at it like 10 min later, when no apps are even running and i'll be down quite a bit of battery (I've had to tone down usage A LOT coming from an Atrix 4g, I could go a couple days with some heavy use and not have to charge it, and now it seems like whenever I get the chance I have no choice but to throw this phone on a charger)
Besides the fact of a poor battery, I've always hated LG, they have crap for customer service and phone support, I figured something might change with this phone, but nope...
I was hoping for a GB update soon, but looks like those dreams are crushed after reading something on LG forums saying they probably won't release a GB update EVER! LG and ATT can go die...
Also the community for the thrill is relativity small and it seems like Dev's have very little to offer or gave up on this phone all together...
I figured I'm going to jump back on board with the Atrix 4G or 2... I'm undecided as of right now
So this is goodbye to everyone else who is in this community and noticed my little efforts in helping Peace

Yes, Rogers 925 getting 2.3.5
Sent from my almost cm7 p925
Well besides all the other reasons, did you try getting a different battery. I have no problem getting over a day's life of battery out my thrill with medium useage. The only thing that really kills it are the 3d games. Stock 2.2.2, rooted with about half of AT&ts bloat ware removed. I read somewhere (not sure where) about bad batteries shipped with a lot of these phones.
Yeah, the upgrade part and lack of support are downers, but overall this phone really is good. My uncle got the new Droid Razer and my phone out performed it on all the benchmark tests that we compared head to head.
At the very least, Rogers releasing GB is a sure sign ATTs GB has to be right around the corner.
Captivate (July 2010 release - updated to froyo 8 months later)
Infuse (May 2011 release - updated to gb 8 months later)
See the pattern......it's all at&!
Well I did that Rogers GB update... aside from the huge headache it took to get on my phone and all the crap apps from Rogers and what not...its a solid update. The battery is by far better I can tell you that for sure I'm happy and might just stay with this phone if it holds up tomorrow and on Tuesday...
Its so much smoother and my internet is blazing fast compared to froyo, for those who haven't tried this, I suggest you do so ASAP.

The only thing I've noticed to be washed out is the App Icons on the Play Store. Everything else seems fine. And has anyone noticed how awesome the whites are? It shocked me. Probably because I've been using an S II for almost a year now.

Really? I get just over 2 days use out of my Galaxy SII and thought that was amazing since my iPhone 3Gs was needing a charge almost evert 10 hours. My Xoom goes 5 days with moderate use on a single charge. My Galaxy Tab 7.7 WiFi also gets about 4-5 days too.
'Course most of this is nothing compared to what my old Nokia 3310 & 1100 could do, but that's the trade off with smartphones.
Are your ando devices rooted? Maybe try another custom ROM.

I'm still on the fence. How's the device so far, for all of you that have it? Is the audio really horrible like I've read in some posts? What'd the back of the device made of?
I'm currently getting my basics before I transfer (to maybe UH/A&M/UT) for a degree in Petrol Eng. Is this something you guys/gals think would benefit me in anyway? Especially being in Calculus classes right now. I've never had a tablet or had any friends with a tablet, so I'm not sure how to determine if a tablet is right for me.

AT&T didnt spend anything. They just wanted the phone to be cheaper so they could follow their marketing strategy
.
We were supposed to have a 2300mAH battery, 2GB RAM, an NFC chip and webtop os.
AT&T already has IPhones, SGS3, and HTC One X still costing $150-$200
They had the price reduced on the Atrix HD to get more new customers.
Also they cut back the hardware so it wouldnt take away from their Samsung & Apple Sales since those two companies seemed to be favored by AT&T.
That would have made a better product for consumers. Who cares if it makes their original phone choice harder. At&t sucks a big one period.

The bigger battery would be nice. Nfc for me isnt a big deal and 2 gb ram might help i never tested it when i had the s3 this phone is like the perfect fit for me i liked bigger screens but were unnecessary the battery so far isnt great but i just got it so it might take a bit to get going.

Read through all the posts in General and you'll get your information. Like I tell everyone, buy the phone because you want it, not because someone else sold it to you.
The storage is just enough for me. It would be nice to have a sd card slot though. Battery life lasts 12 hours for me on a regular day. Matters how much you use it of course. The main thing that sold me on the phone was Sense.

Have it and don't recommend. I'd wait for the next nexus. I've been disappointed with the camera on the One. 2nd One with camera issues, purple and/or red tint. Otherwise solid phone.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
Pros: great screen, front speakers are awesome, nice build, fast, great front camera, good size, great reception, awesome in red, I like the notification LED
Cons: back camera sucks compared most other phones (pictures are pixelated), battery life could be better but it's manageable, charges really slow
Noted: You quickly adapt to the lack of a menu button, takes great pics in the dark, Sense is probably the best skin available, the TV app is really useful.
Verdict: Not bad for a "phone", I think i would have personally liked the S4 better. My 14 year old daughter has one too and loves it.I'll be getting the Note 3 once its affordable and selling this one.
Have one, don't recommend. HTC refuses to pay attention to details such as build quality. It refuses to fix the purple tint issue. The camera is overrated. The battery life is only decent. You can't get S-off on certain hboots.
Wait for the Nexus 5. It looks freaking sweet.

I, personally, love mine. No camera issue, fast as hell, and we haven't seen an update to 4.2.2 because HTC is jumping right to 4.3 within the next couple weeks.

Sent from my HTCONE using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I love my HTC One. Like everyone else said, the battery could be better but I'm running complete stock so maybe a custom ROM would help the battery. As for the camera issue, HTC said that they would fix it with the 4.3 update so I wouldn't worry about that. The only thing is that this phone is I think five months old so if you really want a HTC phone, then go for it. I would take this over the S4 and the next Nexus mainly because of HTC Sense. And the specs are as good as the competitors so it all comes down to preference of UI and features. My One has never frozen on me and I've had it for two months. Great phone and would definitely recommend it. Let us know what you decide!
EDIT: Sorry I got off track and forgot to answer your questions. The battery lasts me about 10-11 hours but that's on stock. The storage is more than enough to have for another two years. And like I said, my One has never frozen on me so no need for a battery pull. And I'm sure that HTC made the charging of the phone take longer to conserve the overall life of the battery but mine charges pretty fast. It's not slow but it's not super fast either.
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium
This phone uses the older generation of Gorilla glass, people from the Taiwan forums are reporting that the 4.3 update doesn't fix the camera tint, and I get around 14 hours battery life with moderate use. This phone is already outdated and you would be a fool to pay $600 for it when there are much better phones just around the corner.
