Just got Nexus s 4G and guess what ??

its damn slower than my htc evo shift...seriously not like in opening app and other stuff like launcher but in typing and touching screen have to press lil bit twice almost most of the time..charging slower than my htc shift...and it eats up all the ram everytime i open and see in task killer only shows 60m..where in shift it was always around 80 to 90m remaining same apps and everything infact not running any htc apps..and no notification lights no for charging and non for text or anything
i would suggest you guys to stick with shift and just dont worry too much about updates..wish htc had made this one too just like nexus one
just my opinion

Got mine a few days ago and is hella nicer than the shift (course rooted) think maybe you got a bad device

LMAO!!..

When I leave this phone, it will be multi core(so not a nexus s), it will not have a locked/cryptographic signed loader(so not an evo 3d), and it will preferably be a four inch or smaller screen (I may have to concede on this one though the way they are going)

Wouldn't get my hopes up for Honeycomb, Google pretty much stated HC is tablet only and Ice Cream Sandwich is going to replace both Honeycomb & Gingerbread by the end of the year. So more then likely we'll get ICS long before we see HC for phones.

I'm in the same boat as you...except for screen size. No way I'm "upgrading" to anything but a dual core at this point. --------> Photon 4G or Sunfire or whatever it will be called

I'm guessing you had a Moment? The Transform is actually pretty nice for a low to mid level device.

I would also have to agree that when I switch from my shift a dual core is a must. As far as the Nexus S I wasn't impressed by it's design nor its specs. No expandable memory being on of the biggies. And no improvement in processor versus previous galaxy s phones, not 100% sure. I can't see what this device has that makes it superior to others, rather than just being vanilla android.
I'm not happy with Samsung's plasticy feel of their devices either. Makes them feel cheap. I do like the AMOLED screens but not the dotted effect that some (including me) can see.
However, I am seriously giving the Galaxy S II phones consideration when choosing my next device. Specs wise seems rather nice. Has dual core processor, nice camera, and expandable memory. And the Super Amoled Plus screen seems to correct the dotted effect of the previous Amoled screens as the rgb colors are evenly presented.

You my friend need to root your phone. Secondly, the nexus S 4G has not been out very long, and samsung is typically slow on the updates. I do not know if you ever had an EVO 4G (not shift), but when i originally had mine, it was absolutly horrible in terms of responsiveness and battery life (battery still sucks). This was 3 months after its release.

Why is this in the shift forum? Not to be an ass but I don't think this is necessary or productive. We need an offtopic forum lol

This is just a guess, but I think ALOT when on behind the scenes on the Nexus that we don't know about. I mean how would google allow their flagship phone to come out with technology that is outdated by almost a year? I think this phone was in development, and got held up, and by the time assembly on it started it was too late to scrap it. That's why there is another rumored Nexus that should be ready come Holiday season. Have to make up for your mistake somehow.

Yea I agree with you. I didn't think Google would have purposefully put out a technologically inferior flagship device unless they had issues while developing.

If other galaxy s phones are any indication, probably took that long to get gps working.

HTC Evo Shift Vs Samsung Epic 4G *ROOTED*

So I'm positive everyone see's this question all the time. But they always judge it on the stock phones. Well I'm looking to get one of these phones, but to ROOT them. Which one do you believe I should get and why? I'm also looking into battery life even though buying an extended battery isn't a problem. Also which rom do you think is best for your pick? Thanks in advance.

The epic pretty much is an all around better phone
An argument could be made on the SW side, but that falls by the wayside if you are not staying stock
Mainly, the EVO Shift is simply missing to many top level hardware items, that make it a upper mid range phone rather than the top tier the Epic is

I was faced with the same question when I bought not long ago.
Screen size favors Epic (4.0" - 3.6" That's a significant difference in Real Estate)
Screen brightness favors Epic (Samsungs Super AMOLED easily tops anything HTC has IMO)
Keyboard favors Epic (the larger size of the phone spaces the keys better, Epic has 5 rows including dedicated number row)
Processor favors the Epic (1.0 Ghz Hummingbird - 800 Mhz Snapdragon)
I believe rated battery stock time is 5.50 hrs for Epic to 6.00 for Shift.
Epic has front facing camera (which I never use, but some people do I'm sure)
The list goes on, but you can google other features.
As far as Flashing ROMs, I am NOT really tech savvy, but after reading through these forums I was not only able to root the phone quickly, but flashing was simple and I have found the ROMs I've used to be stable and functional with very few bugs. Can't beat that.
Epic, all the way.

Epic. Who ever choosed shift needs a swift kick in the wallnuts.

Even though i love my epic i would go with the shift because it has locked gps in a few seconds and capable of overclocking to 2.0Ghz and 1.6Ghz stable.
Its fun to use but i like epic 4g because of its screen. and Samsung is Easy to manipulate and easy to use like rooting and all that stuff.
But now its easy to get the Shift rooted in all.
I just like the bigger screen and AMOLED is deal breaker. i went with the shift at 1st because Samsung pissed me off as well as thousands more, with a certain phone.

Thanks everybody for your answers .. I'm leaning towards the Epic now.

Yeah .. I'm leaning more towards the Epic though just because of the screen and 5 row keyboard.. But the thing I heard is that the Epic phones screen black out all the time, and I'm not going to have insurance or be on Sprint (flashing) .. And the HTC build quality is superior to Samsung. So I'm stuck.. any more suggestions?

I figured I would post this here, even though I also placed it in the troll thread, as it was having the same discussion
I haven't heard of the Epic screens blacking out, but mine has held up beyond belief, even after facing harsh abuse.
IMO, it is a not a "power/speed" issue that makes the EVO Shift a lesser phone, but the overall lack of top end hardware features, and those CAN'T be modded in later
Here are several reviews with the conclusions, as well as links to the original reviews, and the Epic is not just a winner, but a CLEAR winner in every case.
From Techd
You don’t have to imagine how two Android smartphones would perform when pitted against one another, as the folks at WireFly have done the deed. Pitting HTC EVO Shift 4G against the Samsung Epic 4G, the latter wins out big time.
...
So, it seems like the EVO Shift 4G did admirably well for some basic processes, but stumbled badly when it comes to complex 3G graphics. But then again, it has a lower running processor than the Epic 4G with only 800MHz — though that’s not the end all be all performance measurement.

4G Phone Fight: Evo Shift Battles Epic 4G
Avatar for Brian Barrett Brian Barrett —4G Phone Fight: Evo Shift Battles Epic 4G Let's say you want a 4G phone, because 4 is one more G than your current phone has. If you're deciding between Sprint's finest—the HTC Evo Shift and the Samsung Epic 4G—you're gonna want to watch this.
Both phones are sliders, both are on the same network, and by outward appearances seem pretty much identical. But! The Epic 4G, it turns out, is packing way more horses under the hood. As it should, considering it costs almost twice as much as the Shift.

From Brighthub
The Winner
Unlike other previous battles such as the HTC Thunderbolt vs. Motorola Droid Bionic battle, Samsung Epic 4Gthe HTC EVO Shift 4G vs. Samsung Epic 4G battle seems to have a pretty clear cut winner. The Samsung Epic 4G, even though it came out first, has huge advantages when it comes to display, and features while the HTC EVO Shift 4G manages to win a slight edge in design and software. Overall the advantages of the Samsung Epic 4G are too big to ignore and it easily comes out on top in this battle of 4G keyboard slider smartphones on Sprint.

heres the thing though Shift is running 2nd Gen Snap. And even @ 800Mhz it pulls double score than Epic @1Ghz both on froyo.
Then Shift on 2.3 just blows the sh*t outta the Epic.
Newer Technology is better.
Older Technology is Wiser.
But in the end its all down to personal preference.
Just mess with both phones see what you really like and want.

SmartBench 2010 and other various benchmarks but Quadrant does pull higher but thats not point. the point is its newer technology 45nm instead of 65nm.

I gotta say.... what a beautiful device.. So light, and the screen so much better than my previous device the HTC Evo which ain't that bad of a device, but the screen is phenomenal.

THIS, and that i don't want a phone too big, so the Nexus S is just the right size.

I just got one as a replacement for my EVO 4G as well. I chose it for a few reasons, but primarily because on my old EVO (before I had to get it replaced) I was running Deck's EVO ROM which was basically AOSP modified to look and work just like stock 2.3, and I really liked its simplicity while remaining fully-functional.
Now using it on the Nexus, it's a marked improvement. I don't really care about dual-core processors and what-not with my phones. Not having Sense by itself makes it worth have one core to me, frankly.

Well I'm asking cause I got both and I can't decide which one to keep nexus s screen is really nice and the camera is OK but no 720p I got a 32 micro SD card but I can't use it here and I don't know if this one will last me a year, root is easy and I got both rooted, the qhd is nice cause you can see more text while browsing xda which I love, but the evo won't get updates as quick, I'm really trying to figure out which one will be better for me but I'm having a hard timetrying to decided. Games seems to play better on evo 3d and battery sees better too, idk is hard

I'm in the same boat. I've got the T-Mo variant of the Nexus S and I've got a Sensation. Not sure which I want to keep at this point. I like Sense and I like the qhd display, but I also like the simplicity of stock Android and I really like the SAMOLED display. The Sensation isn't a whole lot faster than the Nexus, and when it comes to updates, we know the deal there. I switch back and forth, but I'm getting tired of doing that.

Leak: Droid Incredible 3 Pictures

Pictures of a new HTC device running Ice Cream Sandwich and Sense 4.0 were leaked. The device is heading for Verizon and it will have LTE capabilities!
Check out the source for pics of the new device running sense 4.0.
Source

This might be a true successor to the original Droid Incredible. Some sites are saying AMOLED, so that would be nice. I'm not a fan of SLCD. Now, if only they can do something about battery life. That's the reason I didn't go to Rezound (oh, and the fact that the phone was way too thick in the first place).
I'm really torn. I like HTC Sense (Yeah, I guess I'm in the minority) but the battery on the Razr Maxx makes me want to overlook that I am not a fan of Moto's UI as much and their screen issues. If by some miracle HTC has addressed battery size/life, I think this will be my next phone.

Looks nice and all, but I'm pretty reluctant to purchase another snapdragon phone. Sense can be cool but future-proofing is cooler. As we all know from our Adreno 200 woes, snapdragon products are not future-proof and qualcomm has made no effort to collaborate with the community to bring us updated video drivers or open source userspace drivers. I'm voting with my wallet on this one.

There has been nothing yet to want me to change to a new phone...
What I want: CDMA / GSM / LTE on 1 chip (which should be in phones by end of year - will definitely help battery life if everything was on one)... Super Amoled.... 4 inch Screen (slightly bigger than the Incredible.. but not huge like the others. I have big hands.. really big.. but its a phone.. not a tablet I want)... GREAT camera... And long battery life (hopefully fixed with my first wish)...

I just want to see Verizon's line of phones for this summer so I can make an informed decision. Rumors are great but the one thing not mentioned is becoming more important, battery capacity.

Looks huge. Why have all the companies gotten caught up in a screen size pissing contest? We need another RAZR that is thin AND small. Not like the current one, which is closer to a machete than a razor.

I regret buying this phone.

I had HTC DESIRE HD before n tht i bought this phone n i am super disappointed after buying this phone. I wonder why did u go for this phone. I could hv gone for HTC ONE X+. May b i was drunk that time.
This phone has more ram thn my previous phone. More Cpu Power with 4 cores but still this phone freezes and dsnt perform multi tasking very well.
One thing I hv learned is that samsung phones are nothing but s***. Even the development is limited as sumsung doesnt release the source code. My advice HTC has been and always will be the best touch phone manufacturer.

SAMSUNG S series always seem to hold there value quite well like iphone and screen s always good. Like removable battery plus sd card. Never had one x but older HTC phones would always get dust under the screens. Has put me off them for life as I work in dusty environment.
Also battery life on HTC phones really poor
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Then go with the One X.
I chose the SGS3 for these reasons:
Way better Quality Control, thinner and lighter, removable battery and SD card, better internals, performance, official updates (doesn't really matter now that I'm on CM10.1), AMOLED screen, no battery life and build quality issues, TW is lighter and closer to stock.
One X is a nice phone, but its just not for me, the only benefit I could see was the camera and thicker plastic.

Maybe you've got a lemon or something is wrong with your rom/kernel? I know many S3 have suffered from lag/stutter and such other related things...

I had a HOX before my s3. Both are great devices. HOX multitasking was not good at all, perhaps better in the +version. Only thing i miss a little is that screen, but i enjoy amoled too. S3 handles most games better, except tegra ones of course.

What rom and kernel was you using?
Did you remove bloatware?
If you were using stock, what version was you on and was it carrier branded (with even more bloatware)?

SAMSUNG S series always seem to hold there value quite well like iphone and screen s always good. Like removable battery plus sd card. Never had one x but older HTC phones would always get dust under the screens. Has put me off them for life as I work in dusty environment.
Also battery life on HTC phones really poor

I had Desire HD for 2yrs never had a problem with screen only volume was an issue. Yes removable battery was also a reason i opted for s3 but apart from that it doesnt even come close to one X+.

Then go with the One X.
I chose the SGS3 for these reasons:
Way better Quality Control, thinner and lighter, removable battery and SD card, better internals, performance, official updates (doesn't really matter now that I'm on CM10.1), AMOLED screen, no battery life and build quality issues, TW is lighter and closer to stock.
One X is a nice phone, but its just not for me, the only benefit I could see was the camera and thicker plastic.

I had the HOX before the S3 and switched because of the battery life mainly. I much prefer the design of the HOX and, contrary to any review you'll probably read on the web, I found the camera on the HOX quite a bit better.
I'd probably swap my S3 for a HOX+ given the chance, but I'm happy with the S3. It does so many things very well.

One thing I hv learned is that samsung phones are nothing but s***. Even the development is limited as sumsung doesnt release the source code. My advice HTC has been and always will be the best touch phone manufacturer.

Your signature would suggest a degree of prejudice and would cause me to question why you would buy a Samsung phone in the first place. It would certainly suggest that yours is not the most objective of 'reviews'.
In the interests of balance, HTC have produced some decent devices, but as nice as my last HTC (HD2) was, the need to send the phone back three times in just over a year to repair screen issues and the Customer Service debacle that finally drove me away from HTC, swearing never to return, was quite enough to leave me convinced that Samsung, for all their foibles, are an infinitely better option.
The sharp drop in HTC's share price doesn't lie either...

I don't. The phone is great.
Thanks OP for your insight. Unfortunately it seems to me that you are biased. If you like a brand and its products you should stick to them.

I LOL'd at your signature.

I had the same feeling during the first 2 months of using my s3.. UI redraw every time after i exit internet browser, experienced lag here and thr but after i decided to install custom rom and kernel and remove useless bloatware, it suddenly became the best smartphone i ever owned!

This is great phone, 4 core, 1gb ram and external sd card, only thing I don't like is home button and 2 soft key, probably because I came from Galaxy Nexus which uses on screen virtual button, but everything is good
Well, maybe not, except SDS concerns me...

I had HTC DESIRE HD before n tht i bought this phone n i am super disappointed after buying this phone. I wonder why did u go for this phone. I could hv gone for HTC ONE X+. May b i was drunk that time.
This phone has more ram thn my previous phone. More Cpu Power with 4 cores but still this phone freezes and dsnt perform multi tasking very well.
