Wind of change.

So.... Being a Samsung Galaxy S user for long time, I came to the point where don't feel "fresh" with my phone. I came to conclusion that need change. Tried some launchers, but doesn't feel cool. So now I decided to change my "baby". The two phones I narrowed are HTC one or Sony Z. Do you think guys I am doing right or stick with my S3 (and wait for 4.3)? Any input appreciated...

Agree with you. As mentioned before I picked up HTC One today. Basically is the same ( meaning OS), but somehow feel better...Right now preparing to flash GE ROM,as I'm not a fan of Blinkfeed and "limited" customisation. Tbh,my S3 LTE never gave me any issue (touchwood!), so probably will keep both phones... My point is that with M7 GE will get faster updates, and hopefully smooth experience. Also I'm not fancy all the "extras" supplied with both devices (Touchwizz/Sense). Thankfully, few apps/widgets are available from play store,so will see how it goes...

Other "hidden" thing is,that Samsung will not provide same treatment as for the 9300. The 9305 isn't so widely available thus support could be "neglected"...

OK, first negative thing: battery much worse than S3. Have almost identical settings,but HTC down to 21% while S3 still on 58%...

Yeah,I know about Xposed. I let go the Sony Z and now focusing on two devices only, the One and S3 LTE. Will do play with the One and then decide which to keep. Might keep both...

Ok, so after a week with the HTC I came back to Samsung S3 LTE. Don't know why, but Sammy just feel right for me.
Guys thanks for all your comments and suggestions.
I am not a Samsung fan boy, but from my point of view Samsung is the best (at least for my needs).
So sticking with S3, skipping S4, but looking forward to S5, which will have non plastic body (hopefully)....

Anybody seen this???

wow that looks sick!

I had roms installed on my Motoactv, but to be honest it's just not that useful to run full android on a watch... Was interesting for about an hour until I saw the battery wouldn't last long. Also, without wifi (which the motoactv has), it won't be that great since you'll still need your phone.

I wonder since the gear is based on samsung architecture have the develpoers of the CF-autoroot tried to root the gear.

I think the one thing you never forget to take with you on any occasion is your phone so I cant see the problem .its not to replace a phone its to acompany it

How is your phone running? If it's running good, why in the world are you worried about a synthetic benchmark?

Bro, I've seen you around a while and believe me, I didn't mean any disrespect. I understand that's low and I guess I would be a little concerned too.
I was just thinking overall that I am more concerned about how my phone is actually running. But I see your point about the low score. I really don't know what could be causing it but good luck bro!

I wasnt trying to b disrespectful either bro. And ya I remember u too. It just sucks paying top dollar for a phone, then seeing less scores than the phones that are 6 months older with the snapdragon 600!! I'm pretty pist about it.
And what makes it worse is seeing another user with the exact same phone scoring 23000!

Yeah, I hear ya bro. I initially was very happy with this phone and I mostly still am. But little things are starting to wear on me and I've been having thoughts of jumping ship.
The community for this phone is surprisingly the least active of any phone that I've ever owned. It's kind of a downer. I understand the whole locked bootloader thing, but it seems like interest is low in this phone but I'm not sure why other than the locked bootloader.
Another reason is the wifi issues. I frequently get the unstable connection message and lately my wifi performance has been terrible. I can't even watch a YouTube video without it constantly buffering.
And it seems like there is no fix in sight from Samsung. Not sure when or if there will ever be a fix.
I got in on that $150 promo code for the Moto X and I'm heavily considering getting one as an extra phone worst case scenario. But if I somehow like it, I might dump this phone and make a little profit in the process. Not sure yet.

I'm not having any issues with WiFi? I.m currently using a Belkin router on 2.4 and 5.0 GHz. You don't have a metal case on do you? Or anything near your router that could be interfering?
I personally wouldn't get rid of your phone either ...You have to remember this phone is still newer, Wait till after Christmas and watch how many more at&t note 3 users come...Development is still young I've seen this stage in almost all my experiences with prior phones. Soon as we get the boot-loader fix,,,Watch how many roms, And ported material fly this way.

Ya mj5. I think it's totally up to u. Mine auto updated, so I didn't have a choice. I wish it would have fixed the power button lag, and I wish they would have left the keyboard white. But ya we have a way to get roms on mj5 and I'm sure a Odin will b out sooner rather than later.

If you could trade your N3 for any device???

Hi opinions please what device would you trade your N3 and why. Keeping developer support also in mind. Thx in advanced
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app

Either the T-Mobile or the International version Note 3.
Sent from my SM-N9005A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Most likely because of unlocked boot loader, but any other devices? Perhaps lg flex?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app

Indeed for unlocked bootloaders.
Nope. I dislike LG. They are the Crapple of the Android world.
I personally can't justify giving up the Note 3 for a different device. Too many great features that I love using.
Sent from my SM-N9005A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I have an upgrade on my account and i cant see trading it in for any current offerings. However i am considering getting the Hisense x1 although i am torn between trading in better specs for more screen.

The touchscreen system inside a Tesla, but that'll never happen.
I'd do a yotaphone when it comes out. I'd trade it now for a Xperia Z ultra or Z2

This.
I'd also trade for a new AR15. Hey, it's a "device". You didn't say it had to be a cellular device.

I'd pick a T-Mo Note3.
Nothing has come out in recent months that's made me wish I had something else - I just wish we had an unlocked bootloader like T-Mo people.
The OLED screen is IMO a must-have, I really think they look better than LCDs - and of course, it's gotta be full HD, and >5 inches. That right there cuts out most of the options!
And it's gotta have a micro SD card slot as well, otherwise I can't carry my music around (and cloud music doesn't work in subway/etc - not to mention that music is something too important to trust to the cloud).
Only thing I wish it had was IP67 dust+water resistance - and it sounds like that's going to be in Sammy's galaxy line now, based on what we saw with S5 announcement.

I can honestly say there is no other device out there that I would want. My AT&T Note 3 suits me just fine.

Planning to get the new HTC One when it's released, in large part because of the unlocked bootloader and the original was my favorite device other than the N3. I just hated the camera.

The only devices I could settle for outside the Note 3 would be Note 2, GS4, GS4 Active, or GS5. But there is no current device that I would willingly trade for. Note 3 is awesome, and I love Touchwiz.

S5 General is Dead :(

I'm sorry but has gotta be the most boring forum I ever encountered since being on XDA.
It just dead!!!! it either nobody got nothing to talk about, or the S5 has been a poor seller, all the other Galaxy forums on XDA are alot more active than this place, even the S4 one.
Or is there another reason why nobody bothering to post much these days?

Cause XDA has lost its touch. S5 is great but I have stopped development on phones like most devs have. XDA is boring. /My Opinion

Maybe it's just such a great phone, easy to root, and with Xposed modules, you don't need anything else. Battery life and performance are great, the OS keeps improving.
Perhaps people are realizing that there is more to life than caring about minuscule incremental upgrades to your phone.

Xposed & NOVA = perfect phone

Nothing more to add. Still using stock firmware, no need to change that untill stable CM or Google Play Edition firmware will show up. Untill then it's perfect as it is with towelroot.

I can agree with all above. Rooted and Xposed. So far so good. Cyanogen or Google play edition would be nice , but until then no worries.

Xposed + wanam + TouchWiz Xposed + Nova + Google everywhere = amazing everything

I'm just learning. Being new it's a fine line to actively contribute whilst trying to avoid getting 'search forum' to everything you post.
I can say I've learned vast -- incredibly vast -- amounts in my short time here. Been anxiously waiting my first rom flash. Had to get SD card (im new to smartphones also) but then my charge flap broke so now i need to take it in for a fix. Having towelroot only, and just started tinkering with nova & themer today.

I did not want to buy the S5 to be honest but I am glad I did. Great phone with zero lags an good battery life. No complaints so far ?
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

to be honest i think most of the rom devs want the gps and camera errors to be fixed, then well get aokp pa and cm

Maybe because everyone already has experience in XDA so most problems are solved

And the fact a new phone is pushed out almost every month?

It is summer so there is not as much activity.
And we have a perfect root method and there are some good custom ROMs for TW and some kernels that are very good for modding and tweaking. We got pretty much what we need until the camera and gps issues is fixed for some custom roms, there is not too much to talk about right now. So the activity is not as high. Come up with some interesting topics if you feel there is something missing in SGS5 General!
