hi
i have replied to ur PM on this the HTC explorer is good if she only wants to use the phone for just calls and all i have dont any rooting or flashing on this phone as it is being used by my wife and she wont allow me to do anything on it
u can look at the new Mi425 or the new HTC Desire C

@haree thanks for the tip.
anybody else got a say?

Don't go with cheap company for your sis., go with reputed like HTC as haree has suggested. HTC, Samsung and Sony has some phones in that range... I'd suggest you to go through this thread over here

ok, got the wrong impression about explorer that he suggested you, my suggestion would be HTC Explorer, BB Storm or if you can wait then Sony is going to release some new phones

hi
i dont know about the trustability i just saw it gave u the info
u can chek this phone too
Samsung galaxy Y
. It is good features like 2 mega pixel camera, 830 MHz ARMv6 processor, Android OS and v2.3.5 (Gingerbread), 3.0 inches and TFT capacitive touchscreen, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, 7.2 Mbps data transfer speed, good battery life ect.
has more phone space than the explorer
the exp has only around 180MB this one has 300MB and is a little sleeker and girls would tend to like sleeker phones

I'm with you on this bro. I have a feeling that they would cost 15k atleast......
also galaxy y has got a display of a 1k color phone so, not gonna go with that.
anybody experienced the bb storm firsthand? any comments?

don't go with BB.... its nothing but waste of money Instead if u r looking for non android phone then any Nokia mobile in that range will serve the job better than BB ... BB charge for everything after u purchase mobile means if you want net then activate BB service which are above RS. 400 for most of operators ... if you want youtube access then need higher pack of BB services and so on .. BB is best suited to corporate world where everything is paid by company not for personnel one ....
Nokia C6 01 would be great phone if going for non android stuff

Phone for Sister
I had given my Spice phone for a few days to my wife and switched back to my wife's blackberry ...
She was not happy with spice phone at all .. she was not happy with camera and pictures , she termed the phone very slow and found navigation and others very difficult so i would say its personal choice to go with android but i would advice go with Samsung or Sony Xperia for woman the looks of the phone are also very critical factor

I brought huawei ideos x5 pro for my wife @13750/- a month back
I have rooted it but keeping stock rom and she says battery life is excellent

What do you want to know about the S3 Mini?

Hey guys, I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini... until tomorrow, I guess. What exactly would you like to know about it? I can make videos, take pictures... whatever
Give me some requests and tomorrow morning I hope to make some videos and whatever to answer your questions
Here's a picture of it compared to the S3 & Note 2.
Regards,
Alex

Does it have a light Sensor, can you choose Auto-Brightness?
thx

How can you enter in Recovery Mode?
Thanks.

the camera features are the same as the s3? even when it is 5 MP instead of the 8 mp of the s3?

NFC is market dependent. I am holding on to a 8gb Romania set. There is no NFC present.

Actually, it doesn't have an ambient light sensor...
The two dots seen at the left of the speaker grill are just the proximity sensor.

The features and menus seem to be identical - I don't have the S3, but I checked a couple of youtube videos detailing the camera interface and it seems to be the same. Yes, you can also change the icons around to your tastes.

Is the Galaxy S III mini's bootloader locked?
Are the sources published for S III mini?

Is this just a entry lvl phone?? Cuz specs r not that bad..

Hi, what is the specification of processor U8420? What are the differences between U8420 and U8500?

Click to expand...

The U8420 is just a custom 8500... I couldn't see any differences between the two in all I've read.
The U8420 packs two Cortex-A9 cores clocked at 1 GHz and a single-core Mali 400MP GPU.

Thx a lot.:good:
I still can't decide which one to choose: S III Mini or S Advance. What would you choose, and why?

I chose the S III Mini because it's newer (so I think it will get more official updates than the Advance), comes with Jelly Bean 4.1.1 already installed, has 1 Gb of RAM... and because I kinda like the design. Even if I'll probably install every custom ROM made for it, it's still good to have official updates - drivers for example are still closed source and there's only so much the future devs will be able to do without the proper drivers.
The S Advance on the other hand has less RAM (768 MB) and doesn't look as nifty. The only trouble is that I don't know how well supported the S III Mini will be (here on XDA I mean), since it's been a month since its release and still no quick root method available. The bottom line is: if you're not that into installing and testing out custom ROMs, kernels and other stuff like this, then don't worry and go ahead on the S III Mini. Else, look around, see what the guys on the S Advance threads are doing and make a more informed decision.
But, of course, if there's a big price difference then the Advance will be a better deal.

Thanks for the exhaustive answer. I'll take S III Mini.

Put your phone in USB Debugging mode and send this command via ADB:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Or, install Terminal Emulator on your phone and write:
Code:
reboot recovery
Please note that faria and brokenworm are to thank for these methods, they're the ones who posted them in the Rooting thread.

Seriously? Devs are not assigned.... They start developing on the device they have. What do you think? It's a paid thing? Read the XDA rules and manual again and again...

Do we have usb on the go support on this phone?

Contract Upgrade Time

Hey Guys
It's time for an upgrade on my contract and wondered if you could give opinions on the Sony Xperia SP and if it's worth upgrading to over the note? It seems to have better specs but haven't seen many reviews.
Thanks
Jamie

Thanks

Well i dont think xperia SP will be satisfactory for you, after having a note for such a long time. I wouod say to givw it a trial first, then decide to get it. Yes u have other options like htc one, s4 and if ur in a hurry note 2. If u can wait then moto X or maybe note 3.

is the s3 mini recommended?

Hi everyone,
i'm looking into buying a new smartphone, the s3 mini got my attention!
i do have some questions about this devices do:
1:is it easy to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery?(with my previous phone htc desire c it was a pain to do it)
2: i'm a heavy modder (install another rom almost everyday ) and i noticed some issues with the cyanogenmod roms RIL and tearing are these issues a big of a deal? (I rather like touchwiz so i don't know if i'm gonna install a custom rom on it)
3: my final question: does this phone have a notification LED like the galaxy s3/s4 note etc
thank you very much,

i would like to believe that you have been on XDA long enough to know that the first rule is to search before you ask
there is a model of the S3 mini that has NFC support
please search next time

More expensive than s3 mini

S3 Mini is just great with my latest release. Other phone than on stock xD
I can recommend that phone.
There's a i8190N version with NFC chip, fully compatible with all custom ROMs for i8190.
But temporary there's no custom ROM that support NFC. I'm working on it, so NFC support might be soon.
