Its time for my nexus to rest so which one should i go for Samsung galaxy s Or HTC desire hd,which has better CPU and gpu and ram.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I say Nexus One, wait until there is a phone that have things that the N1 don't have or can handle... the SGS and DHD is no big upgrade imo.
Between those 2, go the HTC. Samsung has a bad name in android, until they change that, HTC is always the smartest option. For support, stability and updates

I'm going to be getting a new phone soon as well.
But I'm in the US. I hate getting subsidized phones, due to being locked in for 2 years, and the fact that once a new phone comes out on at&t (like the recent galaxy s) everyone gets it.. and that's annoying.
WinPhone7 looks kinda goofy. But I can't take a poke at it since it's not officially released yet.
The Desire HD is something I really desire though.
had a play with one of htc's yet to be released windows phone 7 phones and I've got to say, I'm considering hanging up my nexus for one. I hope someone manages to port windows phone 7 to the nexus, that would be sweet

Hi all! I'm thinking of selling my Nexus One, but before doing so I'm looking at what options I have open to me. Can any of you guys suggest phones, any OS really, and comment about the phone with respect to the Nexus?
I'm currently considering the HTC Desire Z/ G2, the HTC Desire HD, the Nokia N8 and the iPhone 4. Any thoughts?
Oh, and no CDMA phones please. I live in a GSM country.
Get an HD2 and flash whatever rom you want on it, unless you want a front facing camera then its down to the IPhone 4 or the nexus s...

dont get nokia n8. that is a definite downgrade. desire z seems a downgrade too (slower CPU) desire hd yes, iPhone 4, i wouldn't get that. i would wait a couple months till iPhone 5 (june) or if you can hold of, just keel your nexus, it is still arilliant phone. you can update it through loads of custom roms. you will also get the official 2.3 update. hope i helped.
I barely got my nexus one since I got it for cheap on ebay but I was reallllllly tempted of getting the nokia N8 coming from a nexus one to a desire z or a desire hd doesn't really qualify for a nexus one upgrade. My opinion is if your using the next phone for 6 months to a year get the iphone 4 or N8 if your geting another android device stick to your nexus. If your planning to keep the device for a year or two wait until the next gen iphone comes out or meego or android tegra devices.
Personally I wouldn't sell off you N1 just yet. The N1 still has a lot of life left in it, the recent releases aren't exactly huge upgrades.
If your N1 died/broke/bricked/whatever and you need a replacement then yes, a Desire HD or even a Nexus S would be a good choice if it picks your fancy.
If you are selling because you want a new toy to play with then I'd wait until the dual cores hit the market since they just around the corner.

Thanks guys, but I have come to a conlusion that I think many Nexus One owners feel. I've been looking ALL OVER at phones that have just come out, being rumoured, etc etc, but this just made me want my Nexus even more because (silly as it may sound) I can't find anything that I feel could occupy the same space in my heart as the Nexus
Now, I'm off to get myself some of those custom ROMs. Thanks a million guys!

Yeah you'd be better off waiting. CES is going on right now and a lot of the new phones will be out fairly soon (going by the current rate phones are being churned out).

I'm chiming in a bit late here as you have made up your mind and keeping your Nexus, but I will add that the Nexus One is the best phone I've ever owned. My main reason: The phone did not come loaded with bloatware and you don't have to root or flash to make it a great device. You're making the right decision.

Thanks again guys, looking at what's out the moment only makes me love my Nexus more. Even more so that I'm running Cyanogenmod 7 on it XD
The dual core phones are interesting, but none have the same "impact" the Nexus One has. And I'd be surprised if Google didn't release a "Nexus 2" with the same power, and maybe 2.4 if the rumours are to be believed.

Technically there is a sucessor, - Google Nexus S developed by Samsung. but i wouldnt condider it a major upgrade.
I completely agree that the nexus s is not much of an upgrade.. More of a face lift. Personally I have messed with my buddy's NS and it feels like my Vibrant I had (cheep and plastic) but I do have to say it looks sexy. I love my N1 and it will be around until it bites the dust.
Great choice on keeping your N1!!
I know about the Nexus S, but I think calling it the Nexus One's successor is borderline crimal.
Agreed, it looks great, but doesn't feel so great. But I guess it's a suitable platform to launch Gingerbread. After all, it's almost more about the software than the hardware.

Hi I have finally grown sick of iOS after owning iPhone's for the past 3 years, and I need advice. Should I use the "pure" Nexus phone or should I use a phone with a manufacture skin? Will I have a better experience with pure android or an overlayed one?
Only you can answer that.
I would suggest you sending as much time with each device of your interest in the stores as possible and go from there.
Obviously the n4 will be hard to get a feel for as its not just able to be held in stores, already in my area, so a gnex will get you a good feel for vanilla android.

Unfortunately neither the 4 or the Gn are available in store in New Zealand( where I live) although I have grown used to instant software updates on my iPhone so maybe Nexus is the best device for me?
Part of that will depend on who majes the phone, I think.
For instance, my experience with Samsung's touchwiz has been only passable--even on jellybean. But even still, I've vastly improved that by the use of custom launchers; Nova being my go to option.
Additionally, if u like to tinker a bit you can always root your device and get a more vanilla experience.
Cheers.

Taking a phone well known by a community gives you a possibility to try nexus experience with CyanogenMod by custom flashing, and the experience is hair close to that on nexus.
But nexus device gets update first, while community spends some time on porting those.

I came from many iPhones to android and my first android phone was an HTC with sense. I HATED sense... It was bulky, it slowed down the phone and it looked like crap. When I rooted the phone and threw on an AOSP rom, I was much happier. The feel is simpler and everything runs smoother. Now with the N4, I am extremely happy with it.
You should still try out some other skins at your local mobile store, buy my vote would be the N4.

I came from the iPhone as well after using it for about 3 years as well. At the time, to me at least, Apple was definitely rocking it and delivered. For me though now, it's been getting boring and I've been wanting to switch to an Android phone for the last year or so, but I wanted that Pure Google experience, but I honestly thought that the Galaxy Nexus was kinda meh. But now with the Nexus 4, you get a great price, a phone of great build and quality, great specs (the best at the moment) and let us not forget that pure Google experience! There has never been a better time to hop over to Android. I was honestly considering a Note II on T-Mobile, but I really dislike carrier updates, to me they feel very slow and you wont always exactly get them. For me the Nexus 4 is the way to go. I still have a Macbook Pro and an iPad still from my old fanboy days though haha, but now I just use what's best regardless. I do want a Nexus 10' but I think I'll stick with my iPad and Macbook Pro for educational purposes in the meantime.

Exact same circumstances as you! I was getting bored of iOS and the Gnexus was just bad but this N4 is amazingly better then anything. I still have the iPad i have because its the best tablet OS and still have my MacBook pro from 2011 for my desktop OS but iOS on iPhone was getting stale and had practically no customisability so I am really looking foward to when dad buys me this epic phone!!!

Stock Jellybean experience is still light years ahead of what you have been used to with the "list of icons" UI that iOS has.
I wouldn't think two seconds about that aspect. What I would consider, coming from Apple, is the upgrade experience. When Apple and Google announce the latest stuff, it's only natural that as a end-user you want it NOW. Only Nexus delivers this promise, the Apple-like upgrade experience.
I would instantly rule out anything but a Nexus, when coming from iOS.

That's very true and another good point that I had forgotten to mention. Thanks for pointing it out. Upgrades, upgrades, upgrades. One of the main reasons I stayed with Apple for quite a while was the level of support and OS upgrades they provided, my previously retired iPhone 3Gs was from 09', yet it was able to run the latest iOS version. No other Android phone is exactly able to do that unless you root or get a custom ported ROM with the exception of the Nexus line sort of. The Nexus like you've said is a no-brainer and perhaps the only phone I'd ever consider because of the support and updates I'd get. Therefore for someone to come from iOS like OP, the Nexus is definitely your number one choice,

Yes that was one of the main reasons I was considering the N4, because apples instant updates had spoilt me, for iPhones ,iOS just plain suck so I needed an OS that let me make my phone "my phone"

I suggest you should get a HTC one x, HTC one x +, or a pure android such as the N4 (nexus 4). I recommend you should do phone comparisons using gsmarena or phonearena.
I suggested HTC because it has a beautiful interface. Also, if you want a 5 inch display phone from HTC, I would say get the DNA (Verizon version) or HTC deluxe/DLX (international version)... The international version is not out yet.

The Sense GUI in my opinion isn't exactly very good for an enthusiast/power user who wants the most out of his or her phone. For the average Joe, sure it is nice and simple to use. But for those who want performance and what not, they'd still have to run the stock Android on it just to make the most use of their phone because Sense GUI is pretty RAM-hungry and uses quite a bit of resources. It is nice, don't get me wrong, but stock Android is just as nice too.

As some one else already said coming from iOS I expect quick updates so the nexus 4 is my only choice, also I really don't want a phone bigger then 4.8 because its to uncomfortable so as I have said I am getting the Nexus 4
I'm going to admit I'm biased already on several levels:
* I hate waiting for OS updates from carriers/OEM's
* My usual M.O. is not to be an early adopter of any just-released tech
* The N4 specs aren't that far behind the 2013 flagships
* My carrier supports DC HSPA speeds
* No bloatware
But I have a few questions:
Do you think judging by past patterns, that the N4 will continue to get updates well ahead of HTC for the next year from April even though it's been out since November 2012?
Do you think the N4's specs will give it a shelf life as long as the HTC One for at least another year in terms of performance and speed?
How is 4.2.2 on the N4? Did it still remain fast? Is this a fast and lag free phone compared to this year's OEM flagships? I played around with its carrier branded sister the LGOG and it was extremely fast and smooth just running in ICS so I'm hoping the N4 on JB is also, is it?
And just for the record, I'm not concerned about another Nexus hitting the shelf this fall, if that happens I'll just ebay this one and buy the next.
Thanks in advance!
It will get the updates, 4.2.2 is great, and it'll perform perfectly fine for probably 2 years. I don't see quad core as ever really becoming too slow, in fact I don't think it will go much further than quad core.

Had Htc one s for two weeks and after getting N4 I don't regret sending it back.
Btw I'm not the biggest fan of sense os so that would have to go too straight away lol
On N4 I'm still on stock 4.2.1 (lack of time ) and it's super smooth
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
If you like to or plan to flash and do heavy mods to the OS then stick with the N4. Well already have a more active developer community. And if want the latest greatest version of Android you always have to do Nexus device
If picture quality is important to you then do the HTC One (Optical image stabilization and superior low light performance).
If you watch a lot of YouTube or listen to music using the phone speakers, the front facing stereo speakers on the One will be beneficial.
Both have very good build quality but the front and back edge to edge glass on the N4 make it less drop friendly than the aluminum unibody of the One.
In day to day stuff I don't think you'll see a huge difference in performance between the two so I'd call that a wash.
Tough call. Both are great phones. Just depends on your priorities.

The one is going to be a bad ass phone, but you have to like sense...which i do. Some people hate it.
But, if you plan on getting the one and flashing and doing all that, I'd just go with the n4.

I think you answered your own question lol. I mean how much better can "specs" get for a phone? And why do we need these specs to reach such heights? Do we just want these "specs" just to say we have them? Because that's what it seems like at this point...2gb ram + quad core takes care of my needs and should for the next 2 years.
It just seems like people are waiting for the next best thing and I don't see it getting much better for a phone of this quality at this price point off contract. Not to mention, no bloatware, the dev community and the quick updates. I guess I'm just a simple man

id say nexus 4. tthe htc one is so nice and i would buy it but i bet you you can buy 2 of these Nexus 4s for the price of a HTC One on release. And US release is delayed to end of april. And if you want sense 5 because ofthe dev community here, I bet you can get it.There's not much going for the htc one unless you want the actual hardware and the ultrapixel camera, etc. but very steep in price. if you have tmobile, nexus 4 is future proof for LTE.
Definitely the nexus 4. unless you want to stay with Jelly bean forever
The worst part of HTC is the CID numbers, if you don`t have the international CID you can root what you want but you will not be able to update to the latest version untill it is released for your region/carrier. BTW unlocking the bootloader may void warranty, even if restored too stock RUU it wil stay say RELOCKED. For me never again HTC. So as you may have guessed i would choose the N4 handsdown.
Htc phones arent future proof

And a good choice that is! The One is an excellent phone but once you go aosp it's hard to go back to OEM skins, especially with software updates and the next version of Android is nearing ever close and you'll get to enjoy pretty much soon after rather than wait for carrier or OEM to update them!

Hey guys,
I am thinking about getting a Nexus 4 to replace my HTC Sensation. The Sensation has many problems such as huge battery drain and it gets extremely hot during usage. So I thought the Nexus 4 would be a great idea. Pure Android (huge fan of that, was using CM for a long time on my Senny) and Google Support sound good and the price seems to be okay to (I could buy a 16GB variant for about 310€).
Is this phone great? Is it still worth buying considering it's already nearly a year old? Does it have some know problems such as huge battery drain or display problems?
I need this phone for browsing, using the calendar, writing emails/sms and sometimes taking photos. I don't play any games on it except 4 pictures 1 word.
Thanks in advance!
I too came from a Sensation, and it's a fine upgrade, for all the reasons you mention. Perhaps not as durable as HTC's build quality, so be sure to include a decent cover (I use the Diztronic TPU and it looks factory) to protect that beautiful glass. It's a joy to use..you can't go wrong. Cheers!

Honestly, if that is all you use your phone for, you should get the Lumia 1020. But if you want to stay with Android and can wait 4 more months, the 5th Nexus will be out then and should the price be as low as the Nexus4, then it would be better to get that.

The Lumia 1020 would be out of the price range. I'd never pay 400€+ for a phone I only use for work. I probably can't wait till the next release because the Senny really bugs me. I can't use a phone which burns in my hand because it's getting extremely hot while chewing through battery like nothing. My Sensation barely gets through the day with moderate use.

I can't sincerely tell someone to purchase a 7 month old device when knowing a faster device will come for the same price in due time.
Well you can go on buying Nexus 4, everything is a beauty when you compare prices and then it is a google phone so it always have it perks.
If you think you should wait for nexus 5 then its not very much pretty soon bcz this time google launched s4 and htc one as google variant which means next nexus will take time.
Your tasks which u need to perform as you have mentioned would all be performed very well.
Tip I can give even for better battery.
Unlock the bootloader, use custom recovery such as CWM and flash CM 10.1 stable releases which ever is latest.
Find franco kernel and flash that and for better colours use its colour profile.
You will have an outstanding experiance with great display and great battery time.
Best of luck.
NOTE. All decision is urs what ever suits you best.

People will and should buy the device that suits their needs and the price they are willing to pay.
If you want a unlocked / contract free phone the device is a good choice
The entire motion that a new device will be out in a couple months is pointless. He wants a phone now. A couple months is just that. A couple months living with a phone he doesn't want. Then when the next nexus device comes out there will be the next best thing on the horizon.
He a is a basic user that doesn't participate in the stupid I need the lastest and greatest hw spec race.
Sitting around waiting for 4 plus months for a device is just stupid.
Why buy a HTC one now? The plus version is coming? Why by a s4 now? The advanced or whatever version with the 800 is coming in a couple of months.

To each their own, I cannot speak for the needs of TC nor their personal interests. Whether he's comfortable with waiting X months is currently unknown and has not been divulged in this topic, so we can agree to disagree.
He said he probably can't wait for the next release because his phone bugs him.
Even a device like the HTC first would suit him fine hardware and software wise. Not unlocked and cheap of course ( don't even think it launched outside the US or unlocked) but just talking the device itself
There are plenty of users who are not concerned with the I can read the spec sheet pissing matches. Wait for the latest and greatest chip so they can have a higher score in benchmarks etc.
Its definitely still worth buying full price. Its a great device especially if you're a fan of stock android like you said.
Happy phoning.
I really don't need high specs. Benchmarks never intersted me because at the end you probably won't feel any difference between for example the snapdragon 600 and the snapdragon 800 in everyday use. I just want the phone to work well without stuttering and without any hick ups.
Send from my flying Note 2
If you need a phone now, just go for it. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait and see what comes up. IMO I usually don't want the first batch of the phone anyway since they are usually the ones with problems.
just buy it
I highly recommend nexus 4.. Believe me it's as smooth as HTC one out even better..
Root and flash cyanogenmod and Franco kernel... That made me a delighted user from a happy user...
Besides it'll have developer support for hell lot of a time to come... Even after people forget about HTC one and s4..
:good::good:
I'm going to buy it at the end of August and I think it is still worth it. However reading this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2259334 scaried me!
