@[email protected] it just a phone...
i will just call someone or wait for others to call me...
i wish the battery is great so i can play games with it...

I'm going to do the same thing I do with all of my other phones...use it . As far as making reach its full potential, I'm waiting for a bad ass custom ROM to surface. Once the boards are riddled with new ROMs that really push this hardware, thats when my fun really begins. For now, I'm going to run stock for a couple months to give the development community some time to cook up some awesomeness.

Good luck, on the hox we had trouble getting 2ghz stable, still isn't really. Same CPU ofcourse so I'd assume the same applies here.

Just waiting for a JB AOSP/AOKP or CM10 release in a few weeks hopefully.
I really like JBs new style, and Google Now looks great. If there is a nexus device based on this hardware that would make an almost native porting environment I would be crazy happy!! A guy can dream can't he?
I would have bought a GNex but this hardware is just in another league,

What case are you planning on buying? My sister wants to put on a cell phone charm as well, but the only cases that have a cutout for the lanyard are Samsung cases that we've found so far.

Actually...I liked "Take over the world"

Buying more accessories for it than I need. Cables, cases, batteries, chargers, screen protectors, etc... till I figure out which ones I like best and use most often, then the rest will stay in a box as spares.

I'm probably going to look around for a case. I've been extremely cautious with it so far but I haven't seen one that I like. Any suggestions anyone?

[Q] Any devices you are going to trade for in the next couple months?

I have been thinking about getting the G2 for a little while. I'm with Tmobile and they have it for $500 but I'm wondering if there are any phones coming out in the next couple of months that would be worth waiting for. I have a Nexus 4 and it's been good but I like the G2 because of it's screen size and battery life. The updates on the Nexus are great to have but I think battery life might be more important to me.
Is there a phone coming out soon that you will be getting?

No. Not even s5, g3 or iPhone 6.this phone suits my needs and more
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

If you're going to upgrade, sign up for jump and you get a phone every 6 months. Always new better phones coming out.

If you want the latest and greatest then waiting for the s5 or the g3 will be better for you.

i am going to stick to g2 for a year maybe more.this phone is great.the minor thing that i hate is the phone speaker.(coming from xperia play great stereo sound that i miss).
but the headset is great.and battery life and speed is awesome.this phone flys,and no need for custom roms.
the s5 and g3 is going to be awesome but i dont want a bigger phone.its just a phone and g2 is big already.

I was thinking about these but the S5 might not be at T mobile till June and the G3 after that. I thought the Z1s would be nice but I like the G2 over it.

That is True My Trusted Razr M Felt More Premium LOL
But the Gigantic Screen makes me look away on the Premium Back. The front is so more Premium than the Galaxy Fronts xD.
And the screen size just Blows the Nexus 5 Display out the water.
The only Device I was kind of wanting to get was the HTC One... It felt nice but LCD was smaller and them HUGE black Borders !!!

If I jump it will be Iphone 6 because this phone honestly feels very good already, its going to be tough to beat this phone. I want to give Apple the Benefit of a doubt that their **** doesnt suck and they actually done something useful.

No US carrier support

Things aren't looking so great :/

US carrier will support the phone but they will not ( or maybe ) provide the phone as contract ( or without contract ).
I already have the phone with T-Mobile and I'm living in US.

Enjoy the phone for another month or 2 before the Z3 comes out.
Bad move on Sony part.

It's kinda a good news, think about the freedom you're gonna have to unlock the bootloader, custom ROMs, etc. i don't really care about carrier provided phones anyway. I've been using unlocked/imported phones for many years.

Galaxy S5 or LG G3... Help me decide

Hi all.. I've had my nexus 4 for quite some time now and loved it..but it's time to upgrade.
Before I got the N4 I was always upgrading to the newest phone but this one stuck with me. A bit too long lol.
I am debating between the s5 and g3.. Will be on t mobile.
Have any of you switched from the n4 to either? Opinions?
Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app

Had chance to test both of them,.. Lg G3 i would choose,.. Regardless if u r planning to use original rom or custom rom. It feels more confident than Samsung, and another thing, spare parts are around 30% cheaper, at least in my country.

I just bought my first Android device coming from a long line of Windows phones. I've handled my friends Galaxy S4s and saw the S5 in store. I ended up purchasing the G3. I gotta say its a slick device.

They took a little to get used to, but they don't bother me. I kinda like how the sides are smooth.

MAY i recommend oppo find 7a if you crave more battery life OR the find7 if you want high performance and more sharp screen on expense of less battery life ? in either case its removable so no worries , its a solid build which kicks lg g3's ass

Did we lose all the steam we had?

Now that the Note 7 has launched, have all Devs given up working on the S7/S7E? Or is it just that we're at a standstill with no progress because its impossible?

The locked bootloader killed this phone. When I got it, I convinced myself that I no longer needed custom roms...I was wrong! My enthusiasm for this phone has died, something that didn't happen with the LG G3 it replaced right up to the moment I handed it to my son. The S7E is fine, but I regret its purchase every day. I probably should move on now, but I'm not sure which direction to take. I'm certainly done with Samsung and most likely Sprint. If I wanted boring, I could have joined the zombie herd and bought an iPhone.

Not only did Samsung shoot themselves in the foot with the explosive note 7's but the s7 edge is amazing hardware crippled by a locked bootloader and no dev support. Samsung phones are more and more tougher to crack. While I'll never in life use an iPhone again, I'm hoping the new Nexus at least supports sprints ****ty Network and or maybe sprint will carry it.
