Samsung or LG? - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently I had some problems with my rooted SGA, it restarts constantly because of the RAM I think, it heated constantly without having the charger plugged every 10 minutes, its slow with every game and some apps.
Yesterday a friend told me that his LG Optimus One didn't heated anytime, it was very fast, and it never rebooted itself and he didn't had any problem with it,
What smartphone brand is better?
Samsung or LG
Or if you think another one is better than this two ones, tell me your reasons please, because im thinking seriously about changing my smartphone (Android) and phone company... (México Telcel, its very expensive...)

Yah I agree with him ^^^
GO get SONY ! Great Support ..
If you still want Samsung, then go get their High-End Devices coz if not, you'll get a crappy support (like everyone's experiencing right now) .. they are known for that anyway ..
About LG, never tried it yet ..

For me it's either HTC or Sony.

My preference is Samsung. LG has the worst and ugliest interface I have ever seen but touchwiz is better!
And LG copies Samsung in many aspects. It does not have good software also.

Samsung.
If you have
-random restarts you need to change rom, haha
-slow ace, uninstall crap apps
Keep youre device clean and only with few apps if u want it for games.

Well from my experience, used all of them i guess
1. Samsung--- only go for high end phones. for lower end phones, support sucks. Though service centers are great and that way support is good.
2.LG--- Same as samsung. Update wise sucks but service wise sucks too
3.HTC-- Great UI. But customer support sucks
4.Sony-- Great UI. Good hardware. Best on updates. Service support good. ****

Okay, thanks for all your opinions, it seems i will change to sony but what model do you recomend to me? a good phone but not expensive like an ace's price?

The Xperia Ray is pretty good, 1 Ghz Qualcomm, 100 g, around the same price, all the above mentioned things about sony phones, better battery life, unreal pixel density compared to our ace and an 8 MP camera to top it off. In Singapore, unlocked it's about $50-80 more expensive than the ace so it's about $350++ Singapore dollars, about $300 USD estimated. It's pretty darn good for it's price.

Try to go for the latest nxt series by sony. I hope xperia sola will fit in price range or xperia P

Difference between S9000 and Nexus S?

Can someone tell me what the big difference is between the Nexus S and the Galaxy S9000?
I know the Nexus S has NFC and a LED flash - but what are the differences in performance and battery life?
why dont u just google it here is the link

Man, you're a real helper! Or just an idiot?

Cousin sold the SGS and bought a NS recently, so I played with it. What to say ? Build quality is great, SGS is a plastic toy compared to it. System is faster, because it doesn't have the crappy moviNAND like SGS (so no microlags) + also AOSP Android helps with that. There's no 720p video recording though and no 3G video call. The SLCD screen aint that bad, AMOLED on SGS still prettier though. Performance regarding apps & games is the same on both (same hardware), battery usage also (same battery size). Anything else ? If you're deciding between those 2, go for NS.

No my friend ! Bacause of shortage of super amoled screens samsung used lcd screen in nexus s for many countries ( i am from india and its lcd here) ! Also the processor is same in both galaxy s and nexus s but nexus s is a bit thivk also internal memory is just 4gb while galaxy s has 16gb! I dont think that nfc has gr8 use in the near future so dont compare in terms of nfc ! I also had the same choice and i chose galaxy s! But for a fact i must tell you that nexus s will be the first phone to be upated to ice cre sandwhich when it comes out ! Bit still go for galaxy s ! Its the best ! Also development of roms and all that stuff is more on galaxy s and in some countries nexus s has thr bootloader locked which can be unlocked but requires some work !

Some people just like to flame others, and ruin the community of XDA.
Honestly there isn't much difference. Nexus S gets stuff first, but the SGS eventually gets the same FW anyway.
Actually I like the SGS more anyway, since the Nexus S doesn't have Micro SD and that's an automatic dealbreaker for me...

Buyer needs advice

Hi guys, I think there is quite an unbelievable offer for Austria Hutchinson users. Basically you get this phone for 69€ on a 20€ x 24 months contract. With the contract you get also 1000 minutes 1000 SMS and Internet unlimited so should be fine. Before I saw that I thought of sticking to my galaxy s for a while.
Now that said I would love to take it as long as the offer lasts, but I am concerned about 3 things:
a) i am a custom Rom user since 2 years. Never been on stock again. And I looooooove cyanogenmod! Do you think there will be custom roms for this?
b) the camera quality. While I'm not too much concerned about the video quality, I use my phone as a compact camera outside to take pictures. So how bad is it in your opinion? And do you think will it improve with upcoming updates?
c) you know something about the possibility of unlocking this phone?
I guess probably I'm asking too much but maybe someone knows better.
Thanks in advance!

It's only an okay camera, there's better, the Galaxy 3 has a better one for instance, not by that much, but clearly. No idea if this is a hardware limitation, but I'd guess so.

No idea ... but I guess with root you should be able to do more or less anything,e specially, once CWM etc are there? But I'm no pro.
We have root and CWM now, devs are working on CM10 and 4.0.4 Sense 4.1, so soon we'll have great ROMs :laugh:
And i think we'll have unlocked bootloader soon too.
Hey guys,
This phone looks really cool. I was thinking of buying this phone. I want a phone that can get rooted and a lot of ROMs. Do u think Im in the right place?
I have read a lot of reviews and from what I can gather is that this phone is a tad better than the One X and a loses the battle just barely vs the GS3.
What do you guys think? What are the pros and cons of this phone?
Also which is better looking? The white or black model?
Thanks in advance guys!

You shall like the white one. Also, your favorite food is grilled chicken, and you'll only drink root beer. Also, move to Mumbai, which is your favorite city from now on. Any other totally personal decisions you can't make I'm happy to answer, too.
Hey thanks dude!
I was asking because I've never owned anything but Motorola Androids and they have locked bootloaders. Ive never seen this phone in person and the reviews online only show the white one, so I asked here for this awesome community's opinion...
Also I like grilled chicken but prefer steak. Hate root beer, and if I lived anywhere it would be 'MERICA. Ill be sure to visit Mumbai sometime though maybe we can have a beer together.

Is LG policy still suck and unreliable? Since the older models like O2X said to not get ICS!
Yesterday I saw it in the market ,and it has the same price as HOX , I saw some comparison which end by no winner, yet the HOX really has a good support by both the company & xda community ,so from a fear comparison aspect ,which yr choice in case of : screen,camera quality and shutter speed ,video quality(some said its better in the OneX even with has low fps compared to O4X! ), and battery, thx ahead

This is not an answering machine...
Personally, I chose the LG because it has exchangable battery and micro SD slot. They both have Tegra 3 and good displays, so it's no big difference hardware-wise. HTC has a large fanbase, so you'll have more custom roms on the HOX, plus the possibility to unlock your bootloader with HTCdev. LG might learn and do something similar, but as they're not open in saying what they do, no one can tell.
I was checking on eBay yesterday cuz I want a LG O4X and saw there was a developer version kinda like the Razr has one too... can anyone confirm this?

Actually I'm also quite disappointed and regretted that I brought this phone, I was scammed to pay extra and the phone seems to be like have some internal injury in it. And also, the Graphic possessor seems to have some problems, games like splinter cell conviction, tom Clancy's hawx, running angry granny and arcane empires have black and white graphics only, some still don't work even though I used ChainFire 3D, can someone try these games to see if you all have this black and white graphic problems?

I don't understand you guys, crying all over for so small things that 2 or 3 games have some graphic bugs..
this is a "s2 lite", it's screen is awesome, the phone is super smooth even with stock rom, dual-core cpu, very good gpu etc.. Try using galaxy mini, or ace 1-2, zte, alcatel even htc one v.. the list is soooo long. And you won't say stupid things again.
The only real problem is development, other than that this is an awesome phone. And in january official jelly bean will come, and I'm sure some developers will start working on 4.2 too, and some tweaked 4.1 roms. But even with gingerbread, you're not missing so much things.. browing experience, watching films, playing games, music, and these everyday things are already very good on this phone. There are some shiny things in 4.1, google now, face unlock, other cool features, but it will come in january, that's not much of a wait from now on - (my only fear that gaming or the system will be slower - smoother and slower lol - but I think samsung knows what they're doing) For now I want my varranty, so I won't be using costum roms for a time - yes I know that I can keep binary counter down, but meh, stock is good for know, I don't miss any features, and the phone is super smooth. (in fact, it lags less than my friend's S2 with stock ics which is weird, but I think that's because he bloated the phone ?
And you come here and say that the phone is crap and xperia ray is better? lmao. Even if it's better for you, just switch back, I don't care, just don't open pointless threads. In development forum.. there is general forum, too.
Anyway, I'm very happy with my GSA, on stock rom, and I would never exchange it for an xperia ray, lol.

To buy or not to buy...

Greetings, folks!!!
I am quite of doubtful if i were to buy a Xperia Z, or i should stick to Samsung(S4 or Note II), because of it's easyness or not to flash custom ROMs or kernels...
I am aware of the bootloader of Xperias, but the offer is good enough to not let it go (the same for the S4 and Note II)...
Any special advice i should consider before i purchase the phone?
Thanks in advance
Sent from Quo'nos via subspace transmission
Hi mate,
If you really care about the bootloader and enjoy flashing roms or kernals just don't choose any Sony Xperia. In my perspective, Sony's products represent the highly innovative trend in terms of design and functions. The reason i chose Xperia Z is that i admire its appearance a lot and dislike Samsung‘s plastic texture. My answer may not answer your post but i just want to say that the choice depends on your taste and fun on the phones.
Don't, go for the galaxy, much better.

I guess it's all a preference, Galaxy S4 is newer than the XZ so it's got the advantage in terms of hardware, although it is more expensive for that reason. They are both great phones, I don't think you will be disappointed with neither of them unless you are really picky, if you can try to hold both in your hand to try them and pick the one you feel you will like more.
go for S4 or HTC one...this phone....I stand by what i said..not much of upgrade from S3 US version

Go for the S4 if you want to enjoy your phone.
Nothing special about the Z,just the water resistance and the design.

who care about crap ware...chances are you gonna flash some other roms anyway...most of the crap ware come from carrier base...at least for tmobile USA.
The only real advantage that S4 has over XZ is a battery life ,thanks to amoled display (which is also a downsize if you use the phone outside a lot).
Everything else is matter of personal choice. But as they say , changes are good in life , so why not
Luckily, i am not on T-Mobile, in fact, any USA carrier.

I've played with both the ZL (=Z I would say) and the S4 quite a bit. They're both great phones but I can at least say why I elected not to get either. I was actually 90% sold on the Z before getting the One. My big phone obsession is the screen, and that kind of makes sense given that the screen is 50% of the phone. I have been in the past and continue to be spoiled by apple's excellent screens so that's the standard I set. I love everything about the Z but the screen was a huge disappointment for me. The colors are washed out and the viewing angles are horrendous. Yeah, I know, nobody needs to view their phone horizontally, but the angles are so bad that even tilting it slightly wrecks the image to my eyes. The only time it improves is when you play a video, but the viewing angles still suck (bad for sharing a video with friends) and bravia engine is only active with video playback. The only other issue I had was the permanently locked bootloader (maybe that was just me though).
As for the s4, I really don't have any positive opinions on it. It just feels like a toy in your hand (if you can grasp the slippery damn thing ) and all the software "features" included are more or less gimmicks no one will care about in a few months. And touch wiz is, as always, a compete train wreck.
Regarding a choice between the two, I'd take the Z in a heartbeat. The only way the S4 is better (to me) is the screen because it has much better color and contrast than the Z. Few members of the public would criticize the screen the way they do with the Z. Though the s screens still have a long way to go to approach ips lcds and it's pretty dim. Even the battery life and cpu practical use is better in the Z because the 1.9gHz processor is almost constantly throttled lower because it hearts up so quickly, which also drains that big battery damn quick (and for some reason GSam reported the "efficient" display as consuming 70% of the power even when dimmed... I don't even know...
There's also something to be said about design, which one is stunning and the other is old news.

I would go for the Z without a second thought since I can't stand TouchWiz. Regarding Android 4.2.2: The Xperia Z PAC ROM based on 4.2.2 runs great and offer productive features, not all those gimmicks that are provided by TW.
The only S 4 version that I would recommend is the Google Edition since it runs vanilla Android. The selection between that one and the Z is a matter of preferences and taste.

[Q]New phone

Hey guys,
Next thursday I'll get a new phone.
I can choose between several devices:
- Huawei Ascend P6
- Huawei Ascend Y300
- Xperia M
- Xperia E
- Lumia 520
- Lumia 920
- Galaxy S2 Plus
Anyways, it's for sure that I'm gonna leave you guys. But don't worry I'll still be keeping my S Advance as development phone.
Now: my question is: which of the above phones has high battery life ( with lot of internet using ) and a nice CPU.
I know for sure that I'm not going for the Sammy phone ( even though it will get 4.4 ). And I'm sure about the Huawei thingy. It looks and feels good, but I never encountered the brand before.
Xperia M&E are outdated. And about Lumia phones: Microsoft, nuff said...
Please help me with my choice.
Thanks in advance,

AVOID S2 PLUS! My friend has it, and he had too much sleeps of death. It just freez, after that you need to reboot or to pull out battery.

In fact, I don't know **** about other phones than the Galaxy S Advance...

I don't want Sammy anymore. Promising updates they can't give, LagWiz and on top of that they only support their flagship phones. The design is ugly ( that curved design makes me feel like it's a womens phone ).

Collect more money and buy Xperia Z, you will be really happy with that device =P
Any Sony will be fine

Does the Xperia M even come close to the Z?
Sent from my GT-I9070 using Tapatalk
Looks like a economic Z.. Same TFT screen without HD resolution, same SoC (1 Ghz M and 1,5 Ghz Z), less RAM (1 Gb M and 2 Gb Z).. So is like Z, almost same hardware but less powerfull..

Okay.
After all I went with the Lumia 920.
It really feels good holding it. And it's not so light like other phones, which I like

In other words the M model is Sony's take on a budget phone, if you can get the Z.

until now, the Lumia has by far the best experience I've ever had with a phone.
Great battery life, super smooth stock performance and the Dolby Surround System really owns any other Sound Engine.

WP is a bit like marmite, you either hate it or love it, I personally enjoy it, but I don't like the Lumia's minimalist theme. Flicking through apps and settings is clean and quick, and you suffer a few less FCs than android. Who says the two can't go hand in hand? Just like Windows and Linux?
