He was with me in the worst of times (Sony x10), and the best of times (HTC sensation, Samsung Galaxy S2).
He helped me not to lose my way (GPS), and always had something funny to say! (Youtube, twitter, joke of the day via google)
He always disliked fellow OS's that thought they had something he didn't (apple, blackberry, and most of all.....windows)
But he was NEVER a hater.....
He was the original TRAIL BLAZER, as we can all attest to his sense of voyeurism, and his want; no NEED, to be the pioneer and game changer in the washed out industry of cellular.
How can we forget his track ball that notified us who was contacting us? Or was that his way of saying.......... "Don't you forget about me." (Simple minds)
In my mind he will always be number 1. And his good friends CM7, MIUI have and will always have fond things to say about him.
I remember Steve Kondik saying once "Do you remember that one time he forgot to flash the gapps??? How embarrassing, HAHAHAHA!" It wasn't funny back then, but as time went on, the humour of the situation began to shine thru! I saw my N1 crack a smile......
He went thru numerous surgeries, swap-outs, re-boots, and firmware upgrades. And lived to tell another story.
He loved desert. Ones worth mentioning were eclair, frozen yogurt, and gingerbread. A funny thing about N1; he was always the first to the table with spoon in hand.
As we speak he is being sold for parts on Craigslist. However he was always greater than the sum of his parts.
Thank you N1!

Wonderfull.... What made you sell your n1 for parts? It was certainly more usefull in one piece....
By The Way, What phone is that in the upper left corner? Some sort of Samsung?

Yea the phone in the top corner of the pic is a Samsung galaxy note!
I was trying to fix the power button issue and accidentally crunched part of the main board

UPDATE: I've upgraded to the Galaxy Nexus...... Once a nexus fan, always a nexus fan!
Cheers guys!

How do you like it so far, coming from N1 to the GN, Ive been debating on it for a while now. Mines not dead yet got Medroid ICS running currently, but in the future when the prices drop and there are a few used ones running around, Is it a good phone worth getting. Basically what i'm asking is from your personal preferences a list of pros and cons about it.

R.I.P
A sad day indeed!

One of the issues with the n1 was the lack of internal memory. That ALWAYS drove me bananas. That ASIDE, it still went toe-to-toe with the heavy weights out there! My thoughts are because it was meant to be a developers phone. If you were to look at the specs of the n1 against other phones in its prime time, you would think that it would not compare. Build quality was awesome, and with android it was a match made in heaven (thanks Cyanogenmod) .
I thought a bit about what phone to get next. Creeping thru XDA helped my decision on the gnex as well as the nexus one. Both devices had/have HUGE Developer support (see cyanogenmod, aokp , miui, fransisco Franco just to name a few......)
This was my deciding factor in choosing the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. As well as ICS outta the box with hardware acceleration.
Did I forget anything, lol?!

It was a good poem, but can't really agree to it being a sad day. I don't know, I guess I don't wholeheartedly attach to any phone I buy. Sure, it's a great phone and I don't know what I would do without it, but I wouldn't mind switching it for a better one any day of the week. Though, if my only alternative was an iPhone 4S, I'd stick with the Nexus.
Regarding the internal memory. That doesn't bother me much with the use of an A2SD script. But the seemingly unsolvable issue with not being able to download big market apps is one thing that really drives me crazy.

Yea I used apps2sd as well. The bigger files drove me krazy too! I found myself cleaning cache constantly......

Uninstalling apps and then installing new apps had been my major pastime off late on my nexus.. Just to free up memory.. Clearing cache works but only sometimes...

Galaxy Note... still happy

I have had my Note for about 2 months now. I continue to be very happy with my purchase, and I have become very accustomed to the 5.3" screen. Its hard to look at other people's small 3.5" screens and not laugh.
I just wondered what everyone else's experiences have been, and are you enjoying your Note? Any regrets?
See ya
JOHN

I don't really use mine anymore.
I carry my 4S and a Galaxy Nexus.
I'm pretty disappointed in Samsung's lack of 4.0 update as well. Meh.

Still LOVE my NOTE!!! I own other devices and even own the Galaxy Nexus but this is BY FAR my FAVORITE device right now and probably my favorite device since owning Android devices!!!
+1 on the Screen Size thing too!!! This thing is a SEXY BEAST!!!

I am very happy with my Note. Had it for about 3 weeks now. I love the big screen and the fast cpu. Only thing I miss is 4.0.
Coming from Galaxy Nexus I miss a bit. But when we get it, it will be game over.

I have mine for about 2 months too !
and I love it !!!!

2nd Month, Never been happier with a phone like this.
Not missing anything, Has everything I expect in a Mobile Device.

I'm quite happy with it, but a few days ago I damn near sold it for a Nexus. I don't use the stylus much any more, and would love to have something slightly more pocketable. I still might do it.

I have had mine for a month and I cant stop playing with it. I still have my epic 4g touch galaxy s 2 and I can't stand using it because the screen is too small!

Galaxy Nexus is a great phone. But you might regret that trade.

I've criticized Galaxy Note on multiple occasions, mostly on the stylus-relate software that has plenty of rough corners and completely dysfunctional behaviour. That said, I criticize everything anyways, it's only healthy to be able to see both upsides and downsides and not just get blinded by one's own rose-tinted glasses.
However, despite its few shortcomings I still view it as a really nice phone and I see no reason to bother with other phones at the moment. Personally I'd love to run MeeGo on it, have an actual hardware button for camera, and have NFC on it, otherwise I find it perfectly useable and fulfilling. I do not know of any currently-selling phone model that would offer MeeGo+NFC+H/W camera button+5.3" 720p S-AMOLED-screen+microSD-support+proper digitizer pen, and thus I will be using my Note for years to come.

I've.had my note for about 2 months..it's the perfect mobile device I'm my eyes...I really don't use the stylus much...I honestly wish the screen was bigger 6 inch screen....I have large hands I was very happy when this fone was released....I don't need ICS to complete the deal....

Obviously blinded by the sun and thus stumbled whilst leaving the basement having a temper tantrum.....still can't find his dummy.

I love my galaxy note. As mentioned before, going back to smaller screens feels weird.
As of the galaxy nexus... Had that, no comparison to the note. ICS might be nice, but: can anyone tell me what FUNCTIONALITY they gained??? Only thing I know is I can't mount my sd card anymore on a PC... And 16GB of memory, no sd card neither... Please... The display is nice for the little device, though completely unusable if you want some correct colours...
The note... Gorgeous, huge display, battery, yet slim. Pen input (note taking and all else) is splendid. Would have a hard time losing that.
I'm looking forward to the ICS update for the additional pen functionality, not that much for the Android update... A side note to those who need ICS on the very first day: many applications didn't handle it very well, it's but now, that it starts working out. No wonder with a slim percentage of devices having it. I definitely prefer waiting a bit longer until things have settled...
N7000 rocks!

atm i have ipod touch 4g and galaxy note white. I cant imagine my life without note, especially when appeared dungeon hunters 3 game for android

Very happy. Sometimes i think...man, it's just too big, but then i use it and all this go away cause i realize why it's so big.
And come on, really guys, stop whining about ICS...i mean can't you just wait one more month ? ICS update is just one con...there's a lot of pros you seem to be forgetting.

I am extremely happy with my Galaxy note, had it since November and its still in perfect condition with no scratches on it whatsoever except that it sometimes need cleaning to keep it shiny as for the phone...I can't imagine going any smaller than 5" and for £629.99 that I paid...it was money well spent, I would have easily paid £800 for it, the best phone on the market even against those quad-cores because I don't think that much power is actually needed or will ever get used.

Had mine for 5 months. I use it as my office and no other phone I'v seen can do the job this beast can. Am still very happy

I love my phone it is gifted from my girlfriend , I became addicted to it, now i dont like any other phones because
1. they are not HD amoled screen looking at them is not pleasant to eyes somewhat annoying.
2. I am addicted to size of its screen which is awesome and very good size people really get curious when they see such big screen.
3. I am more of software person so installing and running application is very good in note.
4. Battery is also good.
5. Color is white.
6. AWesome loud ringtone.
7. easy to use cr4cked applications
8. latest phone
and the list goes on and on but enough for now
no offence to any other phone holders : Peace:

10 years ago i bought nokia n-gage and wow that was happy times.
3 months ago i bought Note and i hope it will be happy time at least for a year from now

[DISCUSSION] LG to make the next Nexus

Rumor has it that LG has been given the privilege of manufacturing the next Google Nexus phone in the series.

Cheers!

I don't think. Google buy Motorola, so i think the next Nexus had made by Motorola.
On the road with my NexusS...

Well,
See this article

Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2

Its not going to be a moto device.
Lg gets a bad rap in the states. All they have ever really sold here is budget phones and that is what people know.
IMHO anybody that is against lg making this device based off the internals of the optimus g is out of their damn minds. Or just some brand name loyal fanboy trolls.
Sure there where always people that will that prefer amoled screen and that is legitimate.
But a nexus based of those internals is simply great IMHO. It is truly some of the best if not the best components out period. I welcome the change to making a nexus device on true bleeding edge components.
I don't wanna hear crap from OEM fanboys myself. HTC guys where not happy about Samsung doing this device. Samsung guys whine about the rumors of HTC making the next one.
The optimus g is a monster. A nexus phone based of it is great.

Also, I heard that LG makes excellent display hardware as well, so the amoled may not be sorely missed as others are wont to expect.

I will buy it regardless who makes it. Ultimately all that matters is who is overseeing the development of it which will be Google.

For amoled lovers they will miss it. Some love the looks of those displays and its their preference. Also being able to adjust colors in the kernel some love. Even if another display is better in just about every way some just prefer amoled.
I am not one of them. My buddy has a HTC one x and I love that screen.
If anybody is curious about what kind you like most. Go to a sprint store and look at gnex/gs3/evo lte. Or att and one x /sg3 and compare.

More rumors flying.. Sealed phone.. That may be a complete deal breaker. I refuse to own a phone I can't replace the battery.

if this is true, it might definately be a deal breaker for alot of people

As phones become thinner it seem sealed is the trend. If the battery capacity is at least 2500mah I don't think there will be as much uproar. (edit: apparently the lg optimus g has 2100mah battery, also 32gb internal storage and no microsd.)
Despite Google bought Motorola mobile division, Motorola phones are locked down and tends the be least updated Android phones, so its a good thing it won't be Motorola branded to me.

i really don't care who makes it as long as it has a a15 series cpu 32gb of storage and if possible retina screen which is better than amoled in both batery an color

I don't see the problem with LG. I had the LG shine and it was very well built, with a metal back and high quality screen, etc. Of course this wasn't a smart phone and that phone came out ages ago. I'm curious to see what LG does with the nexus though.
I welcome them.

I honestly could care less who makes it. LG, Samsung, HTC, etc. As long as I like the look and more importantly the specs! This is what I base all my tech purchases on. Laptops, phones, everything. I buy the best that I can afford at the time or wait so I can save to get even better. It should have at least the same specs as the S3. I would of course like more but that may be asking to much. I am a Nexus buyer. I don't want an S3 because it isn't the Nexus line. I will probably get this phone since I skipped the GNex, regardless of whos name is on it.

I hope the rumors are true. I want a sony nexus so bad!! I miss my xperia

I also read somewhere that there might be more than one manufacturer for the Nexus..

This not be good. The nexus must be just one...not like 1538 Galaxy devices.
The only reason why iPhone is so popular is because is just one top device and the nexus must be just one too. Not important who make it, but if realy make more devices and worse, more manufacturer, he kill the exclusivity of that device.

Not to mention further add to the problem of fragmentation of the platform. It will be harder to push updates for more than one new Nexus, not to mention the older Nexus phones like the crespo and maguro.

Who thinks that the Galaxy S5 is a disappointment?

I already saw the leaked images and feel that the S5 is a taller version of the S4 with ribbed back. And same cheap plastic. No go for me. I think LG or HTC will be winning?
Anyone else disappointed in what the S5 will be?

I think a lot of us are but let see what Samsung does. They are starting the announcement now. We'll have a better opinion afterwards.
Sent from my LG-D950 using Tapatalk

The galaxy s1, 2, and 4 all seemed to be big leaps from the prior generation to me. The s3 at the least inherited a whole new design language. I love Sammy but the s5 seems to be a huuuuuge let down. It's not really their fault, most processor, screen, and camera improvements in the last year have been modest. But a let down nonetheless
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app

I'm not at all impressed with the design of it. I expected something new with it. To me, this does not feel new. The whole Galaxy Gear and Fit stuff, don't care too much about either.
Now let's go with what I am impressed with. Just from seeing the UI, and hearing it's not packed full of useless S branded crap is a huge plus to me. The fingerprint scanner is pretty nice too.
I know people aren't too keen on Knox, but I'm hoping Samsung did improve on Knox for the corporate sector. The school district I manage the cell phone service for has upgrades coming in a month or two for 90% of the lines, and depending how Knox's security is, this is going to be a deciding factor in the new mobile purchases.

Maybe the version that leaked isn't the premium version. I will pass judgement once the device is officially announced.

I don't like the increases in size and weight, considering it only gets a 0.1" larger screen. The bezels look larger than the S4. Keeping the RAM at 2GB and 16-32GB storage (and, if the past is any indication, 16GB will be the only one readily available) for the 3rd straight generation, while the Note has increased to 3GB/32GB minimum, indicates that this is no longer their flagship phone. I had an S2, skipped the S3, now have an S4, and will skip the S5. Smallest increase in overall specs in the 'S' series yet. Water resistance is nice, but not that big a deal to me. USB3 is a nice upgrade, but that's the only thing that really jumps out at me. Camera is better, but I don't use a camera that much anyways, so doesn't matter to me. VERY happy they are continuing the use of SD cards & removable batteries, though. If I lost my S4 it would be a toss-up for me between the S5 & Note3.

no FM radio
Lack of FM radio is a disappointment. Still prefere phones with good old fashion radio receiver.

i expected more bang, but i guess jumping from my s2 to an s5 is indeed a huge gain!

The design is just...terrible.

I'm glad I purchased a Note 3. The GS5 looks too big to not be in the Note family.

Same RAM, lower perceived screen resolution, same design, really weird UI redesign. Not impressed. Should have been called GS4+
As for the next HTC phone, I have a feeling it will be a disappointment as well.

3 phones I'm interested in, the Z2 (never owned a Sony phone, it may be time), the G3 and iPhone 6. The S5 is a good phone but it just improved the S4. It's a marriage between the S4 and S4 active in what the S4 should have been in the first place. I think if I say S4 once more I'm gonna puke....
Sent from my LG-D950 using Tapatalk

It look like a plan B device. Plan A failed for some reason!!
These specs are unacceptable

Everyone was hyping it to be the next best thing. Even a Samsung exec said that they understood how they failed to innovate with the S4. I even expected it to have the 2k resolution screen and camera with OIS since LG was able to do it a few months ago. Samsung sure made the people who bought the Note 3 feel good about their purchases.

Returned My G3 For Refund After Seeing The..

Well.. It's gone.
I only got one "Overheat" msg in my 13 days with the G3.. And using the ONite batteries I purchased from Amazon increased overall duration of the device..
But then I went to BestBuy and seen first hand the SuperAmoled Screen of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4...
I Immediately went home packed up my G3 and returned it for refund.
With the $200.00 rebate directly from Samsung if you pre-order before October 17th and send in ANY old working smartphone, it made for a great deal for me.
Quite frankly, I don't care if T-Mobile even decides to lock down the Note 4.. The Screen IMO is the most Stunning Screen ever to be put in a Smartphone to date.. and I could live with it stock and just enjoying content on the Note 4.
I'll miss the style and size of the G3 ( which has no equal in that respect ) but SuperAmoled wins my dollars over Backlit LCD.. even if the Note 4 will cost me $100.00 more.. There were no issues of Touchwiz lag whatsoever in my 30 minutes with the device and "Gapgate" was not present on the any of the display models including the Note Edge. If you are even thinking of making the switch for your own personal reasons,
My Suggestion is.. Do It.

Well AMOLED will definitely look better to most people, although it is not the most natural. I am going to wait for the Nexus 6 to be released and if it is a smaller size than 5.5" (from what I have read there are reports from 5.2" to even 6") then I will probably sell my G3 to get it.
I am still waiting for a bootloader solution and a variety of custom ROM's esp AOSP ones but I think it is not going to come and I expect the Nexus 6 will be easy if not unlocked by Google themselves for the dev community.

Please close this thread.
We don't care about you selling it and buying a Samsung instead...

'Displaymate' only actually care about Samsung phones. They test almost nothing else and their results aren't in agreement with everyone elses.

As much as you want to disagree with Displaymate's claims, you can't argue with factual measurements/charts unless you're delusional.

Or you think they are lying..

AMOLED definitely has its pros and cons. Extremely dark and deep blacks (so dark the pixels are off) but the colors are way too saturated. So yeah, depending on one's own personal preference, it can be really good or atrociously bad. I personally prefer more natural colors.

People still buy SamSh!t phones?

I am aware of the AOSP ROM out but I am more concerned about the bootloader being unlocked so we can all flash ROMs through CMW/TWRP instead of all this kdz, Odin etc stuff and having a reboot persistent ROM on all G3 versions (well my D855 at least!). I was used to doing this with my SGS and it was piss easy so having to deal with all this stuff, I just don't have the time to try all it out.
Tbh, since I had been forced to use the LG stock ROM, it's not actually that bad compared to CM11.2 and I don't mind it now but it does lag (for a high spec flagship) and could do with some optimisation.
**Sorry, I have just been told on another thread that the custom ROM's being introduced now actually do persist through reboots so that is exactly what I wanted! I'm gonna try it out this weekend and hopefully find the fix for the lagging.

Dude the bootloader thing is already unlocked how havnt you found out. Lmao

Thank you for actually contributing to the discussion. XDA seems to be full of people who just want to rag one way or another.

I used to think AMoled was awesome, i like how black it is, but now i see the colour on other phones its way to intense.

Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion...
Why are so many of you so defensive about your device?... Buyer's Remorse maybe???
Shouts of "CLOSE THE THREAD" make you sound like your feelings are hurt.. I did not start this thread to start an argument. If you are happy with YOUR G3 then good.. So.. why are some making comments just short of name calling..
This is MY experience with the G3 vs the Note 4..
I feel the N4 is a Superior Device.. it's "The" device to have for 2014 IMO.. But, no device is all things to all people.. I enjoyed my time with the G3.. but the somewhat cloudy screen and low brightness really come to light when placed next to the Note 4.. That's A Fact. couple that with the overheating issues well... you get the picture.
But calm down... they are just telephones.
