What does everyone think of the phone with your time with it? Good? Bad? What are the custom roms like? Any good ones? Worth the swap?
Thanks for your help guys.

In case of gaming NO . But HTC SXL looks better and in my opinion ,it has more support on both sides that is HTC and XDA. The screen is very good especially outside.

Well it depends on what do you do most with your phone. If it's for gaming than no. But if it for Listening to Music or Camera stuff, than absolutely. And the SXL has Sense UI which is really amazing
Dude if someone is offering you a SXL for your play DO IT not only is it worth 3 times more:
Xperia Play = £140
SXL = £430
But specs wise it pwns it too

Don't let the hype fool you, unless you intend to spend your life playing emulators, the play is not that good at gaming, unless your 10 years old, and have tiny hands lol
The sensation xl is one of the smoothest and snappiest android device that i have used in terms of ui and browser. Its doing fine as a gaming device for me too. Some games wont install from market but theres a way to get around that. I played shadowgun, riptide gp and fruit ninja on it fine. But the main strength on the device are browser, screen and battery life.

Hey guys, I'm from over in the DHD thread and I'm thinking of either ordering a Galaxy Nexus or a Sensation XL. Which one do you think I could get more bang for my buck? Does it come in an unlocked GSM version?

i'd go with the Galaxy nexus, for a number of reason.
1) Dual core (Although the SXL proved a single core still has it)
2) Much higher screen res, The nexus has a 720×1280 screen res compared to the 400x800 of the SXL.
3) Finally being the official google developers phone, the galaxy nexus will be first for OS updates. And will receive "Jelly Bean" before any other device

Tegra 3 ....no thanks
Theres nothing that needs a quadcore on your phone. I was thinking of upgrading from my sensation xl to a one x previously but trying one in store i changed my mind. The one x with tegra3 is full of bugs and glitches. Surprisingly it does not feel any faster or smoother at all in general use. the browser and multi tasking is much better on the sensation xl. Then theres the issue of battery life. On the SXL i can get through the day with pretty heavy usage of 4-5 hrs screen on time on 3g and 6-7 hrs on wifi. The one x is getting typically 2-3 hrs screen on time on wifi. If you can get the SXL at a good price go for it.

The snapdragon s4 is great. But unfortunately the pentilated Samoled screen can be a downgrade depending on usage. Its the same display on the Razr and frankly its terrible for web use. The one s despite its super efficient cpu offers over 1hr less web browsing time than the sensation xl due to the amoled display. Htc continues to do thing halfway offering the best soc then mate it with a crappy display. Offering the best display then mate it with a problematic Soc.
Gonna see what the s3 is like and if not get the one s. Thanks guys

Yes, because ICS is not optimized for quad core. Plus, it is Tegra 3 which means no support.

Sorry, but how is that so? What is your definition of an OS not being "optimized" for multiple cores? Based on my limited knowledge, kernels take control of the activation and deactivation of the cores, and the apps themself are the ones that are supposed to "take advantage" of the cores.
How is an OS supposed be "optimized" for a quad core CPU?

That is up there with some of the stupidest things iv ever read.
I think the Android ecosystem is so complex that occasional lags are bound to happen even if we reach a point of using 8 cores on a smartphone. (And that, is why iOS is so smooth with slower hardware. It's a simpler OS.)
But the Tegra3 pretty much leaves everyone in the dust when it comes to games.
But when it comes to support... oh noes

The international version of the HTC One X with Tegra 3 has already gotten its full sources released a while ago.
At least it seems Nvidia isn't as unsupportive as we think they are. LG, apparently, is the one that is holding back from releasing sources for us.
Yea, but when Android 5 comes out then I hope that they will release all the necessary stuff. That may make me think better about Nvidia.

ok good for you
now i am goign to enjoy my Quad Core phone again okay?
What is the point of this thread? As for desktop PC's, more cores = better (most of the time). Since dual cores work just fine in both GB and ICS the same goes for quad cores. And NO, quad cores don't mean less battery duration.
Maybe he is just jeaulous but i dont think a phone needs quad core. For web browsing and watching videos (well.. lol tegra 2 ) some gameing. dual core is more than enough. As i mentiond some time ago in other thread this reminds me of megapixel hunt in compact digital cameras market.

And what was the purpose of posting it here? do you want to make an excuse that quadcore isn't nowhere near better than dualcore?
I agree with someone said quadcore isn't really important for mobile phone. If only O2x have more than 512 MB RAM I bet it will last for next 2-3 years

It can still last for 2-3 years, you just wont be able to multitask when playing games so much in the future.
quadcores will be **** if they dont have that 5th core for when there isnt much going on or they will chew through battery.
The new huwai something has its own quadcore and it smashes all cuurent quad cores in benchmarks, tegra 3 the exenos ect. But if it doesnt have that 5th core it will probably be bad. Its said to come with a 2300mah battery.

I am very disappointed with this device. Since I bought this phone always had problems.
Starting from overheating when I'm playing something.
Then the side of the device begins to peel.
Then mold spots appear on the screen.
Then this whole bootloader, rom buggy, etc.
If this device was really good, I do not feel the need to change rom and make the machine go through so many updates. The handset comes with manufacturing a critical bug in the camera. Among other problems. Now I finally got my braces bad time. If I can not fix it I have to leave for Samsung.
I'm no novice user. I've had three devices of Lg.
Lg Optimus One Phone = Bug Phone.
Lg Optimus 2x = Bug Phone.
And now the Lg Optimus 4x = Hd Bug Phone.
I am seriously evaluating getting a Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Visit the forum of this device in Xda. Hardly find complaints about it.
Lg P880 I bought this because it is cheaper, but now I find that cheap actually ends up costing too high.

Mold spots? If that's true you can't really blame the phone 'cause moisture = mold.
Also, try playing games on any phone and it will get hot. This goes for literally any device on the planet.

please define your "overheating"
overheating is when your device powers off, due to 90°C processor temperature...
the tegra 3 default throttle temp is 85°C, LG's is 71°C... i changed the value in my custom kernel to 80°C, so we can get a better performance also with high temps...
and have you ever been thinking what's working in your device? you've got 4 CPU cores and 1 GPU core... now think of a normal PC, what does a normal PC have, what a phone doesn't? right, a fan. or cooling in general. so the higher temps are completely normal...

Somewhere is problem.

And stock rom? Buggy? I havent any stopped aplication since i have this phone, lg launcher is really good.
For me, only bad is camera and sound output with stock player (so im using poweramp )

If you have any problems like bubbles under the screen or excessive-myfingersareburning-overheating you should probably use your warranty and get this device checked by authorized personel. Personally, I had none of these problems you mentioned. Phone is rooted, bootloader is unlocked, CyanogenMod is happily running "under the hood". Stock ROM was pretty good for me, but CM is CM. You can't say 'no' to CM. If you don't like this phone, then sell it. Note 2 is indeed a powerful device, I'm sure that you'll be happy with it. But! This phone has yet to show its true power through custom ROMs and kernels. My old 2010 flagship - HTC Desire - got ROM with JB and Touchwiz5 powered by awesome custom kernel, so I really have no doubts that our O4X, which is 10 times stronger than Desire, will get some sick modifications sooner or later (starting with EternityProject kernel and CM 10.1). Cheers! :highfive:

I can't speak much of comparing the 4X to other phones as my last phone was some crappy chinese knock-off of a htc sensation. But my 4X is built very well (id like to see what you guys mention as 'bubbles' under your screen, was it like that since you brought it?) the phone does get ridiculously hot (you might have seen my thread about my screen suffering major distortion for a few hours, due to overheating while on ac charge ), but again well within tegra 3 specs (this this is stock clocked at 1.5ghz which is 200mhz higher than my tf300t tablet which has much more room to dissipate heat)
Im in love with the design of the phone, only issue i have is i feel the back button is on the wrong side but i use LMT launcher anyway(if you don't know what it is i suggest you look it up). The stock firmware was fine(no issues) other than feeling bloated, stock jellybean was slightly smoother and a bit lighter, CM10.1 is absolutely amazing and in my opinion increases the value of the phone drastically.
Just my take on it.....

Hello guys! I am planning to buy either the HTC One or the S4.
One of the issues I am not sure of is the 3d graphics of the One. Is it good for gaming? And I mean heavy games like MC4, NOVA 3 and GTA VC.
Also, a quick question: if the HTC One 32GB is selling at SGD $488 while the S4 16GB is selling at SGD $578, which will you buy, if you were a gamer, a ROMer and a photographer all at once?

Cameras average, glass is great, back is scratch able - I have two scratches. The HTC One has a better multitasking experience. The ram is used for the GPU
Running Vice City right now, runs great. So far have played Street Fighter IV, Spider-Man, Dark Knight Rises and Iron Man 3. All pretty smooth experience. Some lag and redraw problems in the Gameloft games, but I suspect it's because Gameloft didn't optimize them.
What do you guys think of the battery? Does it last for the day even with some gaming?

Should be better than S4 when it comes to battery longetivity when used. But S4 is far better when we're talking about idle times battery saving.

Iron Man 3 plays nice but does have a slight lag in the beginning if you do not have you're wireless set up I think its trying to phone home or access some crappy advertisement. I do not believe it is a phone thing. Battery life does suffer when gaming but overall the battery life is quite good and will get me though a full day with decent gaming, Facebook, YouTube and internet surfing.
Both are great phones. I chose the One over the S4 for the Build quality and I used to have a Samsung Glide which had issues with GPS, The one locks on GPS instantly.

Oops, one more question.
Does the HTC One experience frame drops when lots of instances are on the screen? This would be one of the deciding factors between the One and the S4!
From the S4 thread:
From all the review and test I saw, i9505 suffer from little lag using Air features and has less fps in games. I tried Zombiewood(gameloft) on i9505 and i9500, when there are a lot of zombies who appear, the i9505 become really laggy whereas the i9500 still run flawlessly.

The phone suffers 0 frame drops even when heavily multitasking. It's smooth as a baby's bum.
The One is noticeably faster in opening/switching apps than the S4.
Build quality is awesome, unless you're unlucky and you get a unit with a small tiny gap at the top or bottom.

PS has 3 updated to jb in the UK?
They have it for £150. It will be the first network locked phone I've bought but I'm on 3 but would have to get 3 screens and bloat out of it.

And, better, snappier in everyday use than the Razr i? I doubt..
Hi
I bought mine a month ago and i would buy it a second time without any doubts.
It has a descend CPU, enough RAM, very good build quality, a good screen, good battery life, it's not to big and not to small
one custom Rom that has no bugs and just works.
The only reason not to buy it is the lack of custom Roms like CM oder MIUI.
greetings

There's no foundation for a "but" here. The RAZR has not just 2GHz but also a fast memory interface. Clock speed is not everything. The "i", with a launcher like Nova, ist fast, snappy and responsive. Overclocking is an oudated concept here. Mine makes more than 14K points with AnTuTu benchmark.
Guys, took delivery this morning and all I can say so far is WOW. No wonder you all seem to like your RAZR I's!!!
Ordered one this afternoon. I coveted this when it first came out but was intent in getting a Nexus 4. Six months later and my longing is surprisingly quite strong and the £149.99 price tag is a lot more amenable. Can't wait for delivery, hopefully tomorrow...
Good
The battery on ICS was superb
The camera does't disappoint
Very fast, rapid, smooth, lag-free
Updated to 4.1 quickly
Bad
ROMs are rare
Mods are rare
Root is occasional
Result
No

My iPhone 4S has been stolen few weeks ago so I just bought a second hand Razr i and I'm quite happy with it
I wouldn't buy a Razr i again. It's a fast phone. A very fast phone. It blows the doors off everything thanks to the x86 Intel processor which is much more efficient than ARM.
My only gripe is that it isn't compatible with Adblock plus or LBE Privacy master. If I would of known those apps didn't work, I would of never bought this phone in the first place.

Don't forget to tell that the "radio" doesn't work.
When I contact Motorola they told me that "no support" bla bla bla "no app" bla bla bla "go to the market".
And I will go to the market... to buy another model
i'll buy it twice.great battery life and really beatiful.
I would buy it again. For the adblock problem,I suggest to adaway. I myself have it in use and it runs fine.

Any ideas why they're not working? What about PDroid?
I'm not sure but I believe that the Intel processor is reasonable for different not working programs. Pdroid need a custom ROM,which currently does not exist for the RAZR i
i would buy it 3 times againg if its needed.. i love the battery, the nice performanxe getting over 14k on antutu benchmark.. nice HT processor, nice ram speed which helps more the processor's HT ... the only thing i would change is the on-call speaker.. i think that it has not the best quality when u put it to max volume
