windows phone or android - Windows Phone 8 General

what is better android os or windows phone 8 os i really love android my first smartphone was the iphone 3gs and then i got the s1 and then s2 and know i got the s3 i thinking of buying a windows phone 8 because it really look kinda cool and i never used a windows phone device before
sorry for bad english :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

I would suggest getting the one that works best for you .

windows phone is smoother and more productive, but then android is more customizable and has more app support. I would really suggest you look more at each phones merits then the os

I am switching my S3 for a 920 when it comes out. I like using multiple os'es so i will keep my Nexus 7 for my Android needs.

im sure but with hd2 never ill tell you that
I don't know what bugs you are talking about, but more than likely it is the roms. Limitations, then yes, I know of. e.g only 512 rom.
Good moved.
such a shame someone else leaves and buys them self an iphone 4, yeah and your point is??????
To Troll??????
We hardly care that you went and bought an iphone 4.
The lack on Android, well firstly wrong there loads of Builds available, some have a few problems some have none at all so I cant really see your point here,
Secondly buy a Android Device if thats what you want.
The HD2 is probably the best device available, proven by the amount of work the hackers, programmers etc have put into this phone, they have slugged there guts out making things work that was never supposed to.
So have fun with your iphone locked down piece of poop.
Congratulations. You dumped a real smartphone and paid premium price for a outdated locked down app launcher. Multiple operating systems vs one boring operating system? Choice vs restriction? Bad move buddy

Lmao, there is no lack of android!
What is lacking is brain capacity = iPhone user!
There is MANY, MANY roms that work 99.9%. There is MANY, MANY roms that work 99.9% with simple tweaks/modifications.
The reason why you got your iPhone is because you dont have the mental ability or patience to learn. = iPhone user.
Congratulations on your Apple lobotomy, good riddens!
Wish I could find these "bugs" on ny phone but unfortunately my phone works perfectly, Perhaps it was something YOU did incorrectly.

Indeed well said
tut..... my only regret is selling the hd2... i brought a htc desire z because of the keyboard and couldnt afford to keep the hd2 cus i needed the money .... but ill get one again because there just such a good phone.... people get so drawn in by the iphone... i just dont see why...
Mate I dont post much but I saw this post and I gotta say, that's the dumbest reason I've ever seen for a person getting rid of a HD2. It is probably the only phone out there which can run almost any ROM so smoothly cus of its high end hardware and also cus the amazing devs who cook really stable and smooth roms for it. This **** is legendary.
Worst decision. Have fun sucking on Steve Jobs' balls even for a thing as little as sending a file via Bluetooth
The phone was too good for you anyway. Have fun with your locked down communist piece of dookie

I'm ditching the 4S for the Galaxy Note

Wish me luck.
It's going to be shipped within 5-6 Business days (maybe earlier)
I've gone android before, but it was the HTC Vivid. Then I switched back to the 4S.
It looks pretty sweet.
From the reviews I've read, it's 1) fast 2) amazing screen --- OH BABY, NETFLIX! 3) a joy to game on
Looks very promising.
The only thing I'm scared of is holding it up to take a call in public LOL

don't be afraid hold your head high and hold the bad boy to your ear, show the world you have real taste in phones and are not part of some apple fan boy flock who will buy anything because it has a i at the start of its name....
Congratulations on your new purchase, and welcome back to Android, we've been expecting you.
Did you not at least go to the store and try one out first, just to make sure it would be the right fit for you and was not too big?
I am sure you will love it. And you have nothing to be afraid of when using the Note in public to make calls, just own it, like a boss.
Congrats! Welcome to the fun side!

I'd really appreciate it if you didn't insult me (I'm grouped into the Apple crowd). Just because someone buys Apple and likes them doesn't automatically mean they are a 'mindless iSheep' or such. I own a Note and an iPhone and love both Android and iOS and couldn't live without either one. I would appreciate it if you weren't so closed minded about OSes and technology (ie. not a blind Android-Fan-Apple-Hater)

I do the exact same - use my Note as more of a tablet and my iPhone 4S as my phone.

I can honestly say after a couple of days using my note it felt completely normal size and everything else including my much loved 4.3 inch HTC HD2 just feel small. Don't worry about using it as a phone, its fine.

i make phone daily....i am proud with my note...i have white hybrid case with it and looks stunning people are asking me what is that gadget i wish it would have 6 inchi screen =)) lol.note is amazing special with stunner rom!

How do you deal with roms?

I bought an S2 about eleven months ago. I was havin some serious doubts which phone to get - it was either a 4S or S2. I looked all over the internet and everything pointed out the S2 to be the better phone, so thats what I chose. It was fine the first a couple of months, but now Im getting really frustrated with this phone. So, my question is how do you deal with roms? I personally, hate the fact how iPhone users have everything best on their phones the minute they purchase it. They've got the best browser, the best OS. You don't have to change anything. I have to flash different roms, which I'm not pleased with. Its either a game crashes on a specific rom, that I like very much. Or the phone becomes slower.. How do you deal with that? I'm planing on going back to GB, since I tried all of the roms on xda and pretty much they all suck.
Get back to your iPhone mate!

The iPhone costs too much in my country, so going "back" ( I've never had one ) is not an option. I dont mean to disrespect anyones builds, I just expressed my oppinion. Im thanking them, for giving me choices, but for me all the choices are wrong.
I had a iPhone 4s and sold it to come back to android, iPhone is locked and restricted their software isn't the best at all
The ROMs work you just have to flash them right that's all, even Sammy stock is more useful then iPhone IOS
If you like IOS flash miui and use that but android is about making your phone what you want it to be not letting a operating system tell you what it is if you don't get that then maybe iPhone is for you

[Q] Nexus 4 or iPhone 4S

I want an unlocked phone but I'm on a budget $300-$450 can't choose between the Nexus 4 and iPhone 4S please answer soon and be specific in your answer. Thank You
> on a nexus 4 forum
> asking whether to get a nexus 4 or iphone
.... wow
How is your poll of different tablets relevant to your question? And judging my your question, I would assume you're either a troll or a retard.
Nokia Lumia for you!
Nexus 4 though, on the cool.
Dude... Are you serious!? No need to be freakin specific, you shouldnt even have asked that question in first place...
If you would have said iPhone 5 or Nexus 4 then I maybe would have thought about it. But iPhone 4S vs Nexus 4...
Of course the Nexus 4. Why? It has a lot better SoC, better screen (the screen on iPhone 4S is TINY) and so on.

To OP, for asking such a question, on XDA no less, I would suggest you go get an iPhone 4. It's much easier to use.

You should get the Nexus 4.. I'm also getting this beast when it's released. Guerilla Glass and 4.2 man.

Lol I agree ! Go get an iPhone dude this place it's getting a little too crowded with NOOBs and silly questions ..
iPhone 4s for sure! There's no comparison. Just the fact that you can customize the crap out of it should be reason enough. Not to mention the massive amounts of RAM, the mind numbingly awesometastic screen. Oh and the multitasking! You would be a fool to even consider the N4
Hope it helps

Ram doesn't matter that much in iPhones compared to android phones. Also try them both out in a shop and we which you prefer if you ask on here you will get a biased opinion same as if you ask on a mac/iPhone forum.

You are asking a question in a very biased community, just about everyone here is an android user. this is a development community and iPhone development is a joke. That being said, go with the nexus 4, it is a better deal, and has better specs.

Looks like its you who needs to use iOS for some more time :silly: Ever tried opening a few tabs in safari, leaving the app for a while and coming back to it again? Its so frustrating to see all the tabs reload all over again!! And thats just one example. Use a wallpaper like typo clock (I think its called something like that). It updates after a few seconds of waking the device. Kinda pointless of having it as a wallpaper in that case IMO.
Just because iOS is better coded, doesn't mean 'RAM does not matter'. Every OS needs RAM to perform optimally. As they say, 'you can never have enough RAM'

I use it plenty thanks. I never usually have more than 2 tabs open at once. I never said it doesn't matter but using the fact the iPhone has less ram than the nexus so its worse isn't really a great point.

I don't know why people keep saying this. Many of us here have had/ still have both iOS and Android devices. Heck, many (including me) have even had WP7/7.5 devices for some time. Just because we are on Android forums, doesn't mean we aren't on MacRumors or WPCentral. Yeah, some do talk through their asses about OSes they have never used, but some also give informed opinions. The final choice, of course, is OP's to make

Well, actually you DID
So you use it PLENTY and have never opened more than 2 tabs at once
RAM was one among the few examples I pointed out to show that the iPhone 4s is inferior to the N4. Now had the OP asked about the iP5, i would have told him it is a graphical powerhouse. And that the choice between the two would be tough. But you can't say a phone that has 512MB ram compared to the one that has 2gigs isn't a disadvantage. Even apart from the RAM, the 4s in hardware wise inferior to the N4 (which is to be expected coz its a year old phone after all).
As for the software, well, thats personal opinion territory right there

Q: Nexus 10 -> problems?

Hello,
Are there many problems with the nexus 10?
i'm about to order one in America but I had really bad luck with my Nexus 7 .. speaker blown after 3 days :cyclops:
So are there many problems or is this product "oké"?
Best regards!
All you have to do is a little reading around the forums to find your answer. The issues have all been thoroughly discussed, but I'd say the vast majority (including myself) are quite happy with the device overall.

i'm just a bit afraid the device costs 399dollar in US, but in the EU the same device costs 729 dollar +/- so its a big difference!
I'm guessing i'll take my odds.
