Thrill gets number 5 on 2011 top phones - LG Thrill 4G

Surprised me bit then again it didn't (only because of 3D). This phone would of had way better if the appropriate software was installed.

It's on there because of the 3D

They wouldn't have listed it with the EVO 3d if it was based on hardware.
The whole blurb about the phones was about 3d with a one line statement at the the end about how good the phones were even without 3d.
Yes, technically you are right as '3d' is hardware specific on these phones. .

My take is as long as your old lady isn't frequenting this thread she's not likely to get past it to your text messages its not a govnt retina scanner but it def keeps most people out. Even if you left your phone somewhere it would be more than enough security to someone who doesn't know what you look like

New recovery method being developed for Android

Looks awesome and very user friendly. I wonder what the chances are for a port for the Revo?
http://m.androidcentral.com/first-look-teamwin-recovery-project-twrp-20
That is awesome...
It's only for Honeycomb Tablets though
It has already been ported to some Android phones i.e. thunderbolt been using it for months especially when that buggy clockwork came out and backups weren't working

Yeah, I noticed that it was ported for some phones. Would be nice to see it make it's rounds to ours, but this would definitely mean some "near brick experiences" would be in order.
Unfortunately, our guru in this field has been AFK for a while...
I would like to see it as well it is definitely faster

Looks nice - would certainly be a plus to have that for the Revolution

What new android phone should I get?

Hey guys, pretty straight forward.
Just to let you know, I really don't want an HTC one x, or any other phone with poor battery life.
Things that matter:
Screen size: 4in+
Processor
Camera quality
HARDWARE in general
Overall feel of the phone in your hand
I would prefer the least amount of plastic on the phone as possible.
Thanks guys
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
HTC sensation or galaxy s 2
Sent from my HTC Sensation
Plastic is a nice thing....
Do you have a carrier preference? Are you wanting to stay with VZW?
HTC EVO 4G LTE.
Outstanding battery life.
16GB internal storage and a micro sd slot.
Blazing fast processor.
It feels solid as a rock.
It has the best screen of any phone I have ever used, 4.7 inch.
The camera on this phone is phenomenal. Here is a thread with pics from it.
All in all this is the best phone I have ever owned.
The evo 4G is very intriguing.
As far as carrier, I don't care at all.
So far the phones in the race are:
Sony xperia ion
HTC evo 4g
Samsung galaxy s3
These are just so far. Feel free to offer any handset as a suggestion. I'll put up a poll when I get into the preliminaries.

I'm jelly of ya'll that have more than one carrier with service in your area.
Does the Nexus not even get a honorable mention simply because it gets the newest Android versions before any other phones? I agree that there is better hardware on the market, but I love showing off all the new features before anyone else gets them. My buddy just posted on fb how he got ICS on his RAZR, I replied "It can't do a barrel roll." Its fun to be smug about firmware lol.
I got my hands on a SGSIII and I liked it allot, big good looking screen, felt good in my hand, fast and smooth. I rooted it and gave it back to my buddy. Plus the Galaxy S phones have good development so you wont be waiting too much longer than Nexus for custom ROMs and such..
The nexus was in the running, but the camera threw it out for me.
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
If you want to be certain you'll get 1st party updates without waiting them definitely Galaxy Nexus. The camera, however, isn't too good.
Personal suggestion is S2. I haven't found one con from this phone, it's fast,I like its screen,a lot of development here, camera is excellent. It also packs a 1 6GB flash memory and a micro SD slot.

New HTC Ones

Does anyone know when HTC will ship new batches of the One? The defects (gap and raised screen) will probably be fixed by the time the 2-3 batches are released so does anyone know when they will be shipped? I upgrade in July and am hoping all these problems are gone by then

It'd be nice if they would simply make an 8-ultra-pixel camera, I only skipped the "One" simply because of the resolution limitations & memory-expansion.

Was? Curious, is it still an issue for you? I almost passed on the one for the same thing. And even though there are times I wish it was there, not having it hasn't been as annoying as I thought it might be.

They(HTC) no longer hold a stake in the company itself, but that doesn't mean they don't still have licensing. From what I heard, Beats will continue to be offered.....but, that could just be rumor too.....
According to these articles, it sounds like the M8 isn't going to be much better than our current device. 2GB of RAM, UltraPixel camera (no reference about actual pixel count)
I hope these specs are not correct because I will not be getting it if they are.
HTC you need to step up your game on this device.

I'm ok with the rumored specs, my main concern is what size battery is HTC going with? Anything less than 3000mAh would be an epic failure.
Short battery life was the single reason I got rid of my ONE and ended up with a LG G2.

The phone would need to be a bit bigger for a larger battery. I think that battery life on my DNA is awesome. Although I do run a custom rom and kernel (latest cr-palmer kernel). I really don't think that they should use a smaller battery either, hopefully it will be more advanced.
I have a feeling (other elevate members will know what I'm talking about) HTC is considering going back to removable batteries.

I just wanted a SD. The only real world significance SGS4 has over this HTC in my hand is signal strength, battery, & SD option. My S4 isn't rooted, but signal way better
