So, which phone is next for you guys?

Well, its 2013, we have the SGS 4, HTC One, Goophone i5s and some other unannounced phones such as Moto X.
We all became very close in this forum and its time for us to all move one, so where is everyone moving on to?

definitely the goophone i5s. You got the best of both worlds of android and iphone 5. The iPhone 5 build quality, with Android 4.1.2. Cant beat that, especially when you could of had it for $100!

The Blackberry Z10!
No, but seriously I'm honestly waiting for later in the year. There's a lot of talk about an Ubuntu phone and a Firefox phone. So I'm just going to wait it out and see which is the coolest.

I am afraid to see the specs of the X, I really want motorola to not screw it up.

No need to afraid bro its sure game changer and i think Another i mean Atrix 4 Coming to AT&T Before X

Thunderbird i5 MTK6588
or
SGS4

My next will come as a shocker to some but it wont be a future phone. My next will be the Samsung Galaxy S3.
Lets be honest, the main reason why most of us have the AHD was because the maxx battery which made the phone highly pleasurable and very sexy.
Samsung just released the OEM 3k mah battery for the SGS3 which is big news because its also removable so when I travel I can bring extra and never be without juice because I am backpacking with extra battery.
Also the sgs3 has a very sexy camera, the AHD camera looks like chit.
Sgs3 also supports exfat with memory card which means I can have a 64gb microsd with full x264 sexy files at over 4gb a file.
With the sgs4 coming out the sgs3 price will surely be more pleasurable on the aftermarket.

Is it possible that the x phone turns out to be the nexus 5?

Ill set patiently on my AHD until I get kexec and have CM 10.1. Then I will rock it till something too good to pass up comes out. No reason to rush into a phone that really isnt that much better than the phones out right now lol

I am getting the SGS3 when the SGS4 comes out because itll be cheap on ebay and I am not set for an upgrade and im not going to drop $600 on a phone.

most likely the S4 for me or might scoop a nexus 4.

I'll wait until CM10 stable on AHD. No need to rush for a new phone. Android phones waste your money. They are racing at each other. Want to be a super phone above all which still can't defeat a computer.

I don't plan to switch phones until something competes with the battery life I get and has quite a bit better specifications than this.

S Pen Replacement

Which the best replacement? Where could i find it? And in marble white?

I'm also looking for a replacement S-pen that is heavier than OEM. The OEM pen is just too light that I kept dropping it...
Does anybody make one that's heavier than stock?
Thanks.

I know the note 10.1's spen is more full bodied and easier to hold. If only someone could confirm the compatibility on the note 2. But that would definitely solve your problem.

The note 3 s pen works if you like that one.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk

Thanks. I don't think the note 3 pen fits the note 2? A heavier pen will definitely help to write better and we'll have better control
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk

Now that I think about it, it'll be great to have a full size S-pen that's longer, heavier and more sturdy. I will just carry it like a regular pen in my shirt/pen pocket and take it out to write on the Note 2 when I need to...

I use one from my thinkpad it even has a eraser they go on Amazon for 15-35 dollars any wacom pen will do

it seems perfect.
Anybody got a samsung discount code I can use?

Does anyone test the Note 3 SPen on Note 2? Does all functions work with a 4.3 Rom then?

i got this allready, but bought in a shop, it`s nice, but inside is allready the Note 1 Spen...but it works fully with Note 2...
It´s good to use, cause it´s like a real pen...
Only bad thing is, to use the spen functions on the Note 2 you have allways to remove Spen from Note 2...!

I am using the full-sized S-pen from Samsung. It works perfectly and fits well, feel like a regular pen.

Hi,
I'm using the Samsung HM5100 Bluetooth S-Pen.
It comes in (only) marble white;
It is the size and weight of a real quality pen (a tick taller than my Note II);
It provides a smooth writing experience; and
It is a bluetooth "headset"! (user can answer calls, talk/hear)

Go to settings > s-pen and tick battery saving off , now you can use the big pen without removing the s pen from note 2.

Hi Everyone,
Sorry for the late post.
I lost my S-Pen and was wondering if I buy a generic from ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/121184174845?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 will it have the same functionality as the original?
Thank you in advance for any useful information!

Those don't look OEM at all...
None of the listings on Amazon look real either. I have to determine whether my worn out s pen is worth replacing for $30 from Samsung!

@pkopalek:
I don't see why you think the S-pens on Ebay are not OEM. They look exactly like my original S-pen!

Nexus 6 vs Moto G5 Plus (Thoughts), Or waiting on Pixel 2

So my Nexus 6 is starting to loose it. Reboots every day randomly, battery life sucks. I feel like it is slowly down. What are your guys thoughts of switch to the G5 Plus or should I stick it out to the Pixel 2?

Clean it up replace battery.
Motos probably have no headphone jacks or lack 2 usbc ports.
As such, everyone with a brain will reject that.
Im personally waiting for something new that isnt an iphone lClone
If i wanted an iphone, i would get one.

I stand corrected. It has a headphone jack.
But then again, its a "midranger".
But stats wise its the best midranger i have seen. Still not a good contender vs the nexus 6.

[Q] Your advice about getting the Note 5 now (used) - from Nexus 5x

Hi.
I love the 5x and it's camera (just wow!), but I hate that it's lacking in speed, and I can use the extra screen space.
Would you say getting the Note 5 now would be a smart move? Can't afford higher-priced ones, and was offered a good price on a used one.
Just thought I will check with you guys first.
Thanks!

Also used to own a 5X but the note 5 is good if you get one for a good price. The ram is double what you are used to, which is a huge +, and the QHD screen is awesome. The Spen is also a bonus. Only thing I miss about the 5X is the huge customization and rom options it had. But the Note 5 is an awesome phone even for it's age.

Note 8 to Note 9. Bump in Battery life?

Anybody here upgraded from a Note 8 to Note 9 and can comment on how much better the battery life is?
The note 8 battery life for me has been dissappointing. I just sent mine in for repair and it is coming back tomorrow looking prestine. I started thinking of selling it in its refurb condition on ebay for around maybe 350 and take a hit and get a used Note 9 with the hopes of getting a better battery as a result.
Is this worth it? The improved camera and speakers is also a plus.
But my main concern is battery life. The Note 9s are going on Swappa for 500 bucks on average

This table already indicates that the stamina is similar .. despite the larger battery at Note9. Note8 chipset is more economical..

Try and get a seller to send you a screen shot using Phone Info app of the amount of discharge cycles the battery has currently.

how many is considered good?
Also can't I just send it to samsung repair shop or samsung themselves under manufacturer warranty to have the battery replaced?
When I had deep discharge issue with my ued Note 8, able to turn my phone in to get the battery replaced. I'd assume they'll take it for normal wear on battery?

As an example I sold two note 9 devices on swappa earlier this month. One was bought in August new and one in October new. 2018.
The charge discharge figures were 158 on one and 178 on the other.

Note 9 is much better in battery life in every test you'll find online, and in my experience from friends with note 8s. Check YouTube for some examples.

I just downloaded the phone info app on my Note 4. Where would one go to see how many charge discharge cycles are on the battery?

I have both Note 8 and Note 9. Without bluetooth connection, the average sot for note 8 is 5-6 h. After I bought my galaxy watch, the sot drop to average 3-4 h. The battery life of note 9 is way better. 6 h sot with bluetooth connection with my galaxy watch.

Yep, doesn't work on the note 4. It will though on the note 8 or note 9 that you were looking at buying. Hence why I suggested if you want to get a used one on swappa you could ask the seller to screen shot that info for you using this app.

Note9 has a bigger battery, but almost 30% more power in both quiet mode, medium load and high load.
