Just ordered G2X online!

How is the g2x compared to my old vibrant?

Faster, but yet not bug free! I got mine at the store! Returning my first one tomorrow, having data issues!
Nothing new to me, went through 3 Vibrants before I found a good one! So here I go again!
It's got pros and cons, but overall I like it!
Can't wait to start flashing Roms on it!

crap... i ordered mine not from tmobile.. if i have to return mine to get a good one it's going to take forever And i was hearing mixed review on the LCD vs SAMOLED.. some say it's better some say it's not..

The vibrant has a better screen, but just slightly. The vibrant does blacks better, but it's really a close call. It's not enough to make a difference.

I had data issues with my vibrant after I got it, it was tmo and they came out and fixed the tower. I think you might be jumping the gun on returning it but hey keep returning it tell its right.

Heard it a few people have been having reboot issues and light bleed. But the one I looked at, in the tmobile store didn't have any light bleed issues. Not sure about the reboot issue people have been claiming to have.

Thanks, but it was recommended by Tmo technical support! I wouldn't return it if I didn't have to or without trouble shooting it first!
It's a hassle, but worth it at the end to get a proper working device!
This is the reason I've never ordered online, because if I have a problem I can always exchange it right away rather then wait for Ups!

I'd probably pick one up if I was eligible for an upgrade.
I've heard of data issues, battery drain issues, screen problems, rebooting and high temperature problems. It seems to be getting updates quick... source is already released with tweets about gingerbread within the month. Even if it isn't a giant killer of a phone, its still great.

That's the reason why I decided to jump the gun. Good devs like cynogen and krylon are working on it already. My g2x only cost me around 150 with upgrade from Amazon wireless

It's a Samsung phone. Even if you regret it when it's released, you will stop regretting when the sgs2 users are stuck with whatever version it ships with and updates (if it gets any) will be months after the next Android release. The g2x, being stock, will get updates much faster and with the source code already released will have a great dev community.
I'm finally happy with the Vibrant running Bionix, but this is definitely my last Samsung phone.

I was gonna go pick up a G2X this morning when I get off work but I've been reading in their section that there seems to be a horrid battery drain issue with a lot of users and the source of the problem has yet to be determined. I got my Vibrant while it still had a battery drain issue but fortunately it was fixed shortly after me getting the phone... Wont be putting myself through that hell again so until the phones software matures more I have no problem getting on with my Vibrant.

G2x looks good but im waiting on the SGS 2 just seems like a better phone for the money.

I'm lucky enough to have a buddy that works for T-Mo. He's going to give me a G2X this coming Sunday. At least this way if it sucks I can always just slide my sim card back into the good old Vibrant. From what I've read it's pretty much stock android like the Nexus S so the upgrades and rom development should be pretty rapid.

Shipped my TF101 for RMA today. I miss it already.

I figured you guys would appreciate how I feel. I feel sad. No tablet to play with. It is amazing how quickly I grew dependent on it. Now I have no tablet. My wife thinks its ridiculous to feel sad over sending a tablet in for RMA service.
But I never left the house with it. Or went to work without it. Etc.
It sucks...And I am sure Asus will take their time. So I figure with Xmas and new years, I wont see it till next month.

You can do something like this guy to ease your addiction.

I need to send mine in but idk if the older methods of unrooting work?

Acer A100 for $129

I am not sure what the Van Gohg label means but one sale a day has refurbished Iconia A100s for $129. It looks like there is a fairly stable CM10 release for it. I can't justify another device but they are almost cheap enough to get one just to mess around.
http://1saleaday.com/

To anyone thinking about getting this tablet, I can tell you first hand, its really great. Its not "cheap", like a tablet you can find at Big Lots. Its worth the $130! It has official ICS too! Great little tablet.

Ordered one and still not shipped... should I be concerned with these clowns at 1SaleADay?

Actually no I've ordered a tablet from them before; it's fine. They're not clowns. Cool your jets.

Yea you won't be getting it for a couple weeks. But that's the price you pay for getting it for so cheap... nothing to be afraid of tho I've bought some things from them and dailysteals and never had any problems

Yeah, it takes Daily Steals a long time to ship too. It might take a week to ship. Amazon,Tiger Direct, NewEgg etc have spoiled us by shipping things to us within a day or two of ordering. I ordered a case from Amazon last Friday morning and got it Saturday.

Should I buy one?

I am thinking about buying the n4. I love my n7 but reading some of these forum's it seems quite a few people are unhappy with it. Oh what to do?

I think people only post if there is a problem with the phone...
That why you only see post about people being unhappy with it..
Most of the time, people wouldn't post anything about the phone if it's working fine/happy with it..
But then you do get the occasionally positive/*this phone rocks* reviews :victory:
I end up selling my N7 after awhile I got my Nexus 4... cause is such pain getting game saves around.. !

Getting mine today :good: First things to do: unlock it, flash recovery and SU and off course Franco kernel. Had it before and liked the phone, the only bad thing about this phone is the camera quality and the washed out colors out of the box.

You will not regret buying this phone, and a custom kernel should increase batterylife quite a lot. And you can set the colors to your own liking

As far as reports of problems go, there are just as many in the Nexus 7 forums. People with issues are simply more vocal.
I for one am finding this phone to be a perfect companion to my Nexus 7 and it's also as near to a flawless specimen as I could have hoped.

Okay I been reading up more on this phone and I can't find a good reason not to get it. Price is great specs are solid and the support and development are going to be off the charts. I'd like to know what case to get, I have been using otter box on past phones but wanna try something different.

To be fair, most of the people in this forum are nexus 4 fanatics, so our opinions may be a bit biased
That being said, this phone is AWESOME.

I would honestly suggest a soft gel/rubber case.. Hard cases ruined my hox, too much pressure to get them on, ended up breaking some ribbon on the board, so the screen won't turn on unless the housing is partially removed.. Which is how I have to use this phone until I fix it or order a nexus 4 if its not fixable for free/really cheap.
The only thing I'm losing is LTE. Which I don't use/rarely use as it is

You should if you can get it for $350 at Play Store. I'm happy with it, very good price for a good phone. If you can live with no LTE, non removable battery, no external SD card, somewhat low/tinny speaker output volume and just average camera quality you'll be happy with it.

I would buy it again. The price is unbeatable. If you can live with the lack of OTG (Which may be fixed eventually) and camera quality then you'll love it. I think the washed out colours thing is due to peoples love for very saturated screens. As I said in another thread, take a photo of something, look at it on the screen, if it's brightly covered in bloom, then it's over saturated. Just because the Nexus 4 is less saturated doesn't mean it's washed out.

All right just ordered it from Google. Can't wait! 388.00 total but that's cheap compared to the other ones I've had bought. Not to worried about the camera I have a camera for that. I'm still not sure on what case but thinking gel case something that won't scratch it n can clean up n not bulky. I don't know what plan to go with being in northern Mn there's not too many options.

I have been driving myself nuts with this question. I have a note 2 now that I love but I am also thinking about getting a nexus so I can have something to play around with mods and getting into developing. I have At&t so swapping the simple won't be a problem.

Well I got mine about a month ago and I love it. Even more so than my s3. Not worried about lte cuz it's not around here anyway and it does lack storage but I been using drop box. I haven't rooted it yet tho I am fine with it the way it is. No issues with it at all. Beautiful phone with great features and price. They got it right with this one. Love it.

If you can live with a phone that has 3 hours of screen time, meaning that you don´t go from 8am to 8pm, meaning that you have to do 2 full charges every day, go for it
i´m returning mine

I recently got it and I absolutely love it.
Things to consider though:
1. no SD CARD, got the 16GB version and im still struggling with space.
2. battery life is below average, I'm coming from a Motorola defy which had much better battery life.

From HTC One S to Oppo Find 5

heyhey community,
i was never really much interested in no-name smartphone producer, but i think i just got in love with the oppo find 5.. i'm using a HOS at the moment and i am thinking of switching to the find 5. could you guys tell me your experiences with the find 5, if you regret buying this phone and which phone you were using before?
thanks in advance

i personally love the phone. im currently on CM10 and i have been getting great battery life out of the phone. im constantly streaming music with it and getting 13+ hours out of it.
i havent been running a case on it and have dropped it a few times with no damage at all.
im coming from a Galaxy note and Nexus 4 and ive been using less and less of those devices lately. i say go for it!

thanks for your answer!
i was first thinking about waiting for the soon releasing nexus 4 in white or the nexus 5, but i think i should try something different i also like robust smartphones, not like these polycarbonat or glass ones..
i think i am going to get the find 5 soon

Until OppO get their Find 5 ROM sorted I would put my money elsewhere. Having to reboot 4-5 times a day due to various instabilities. It doesnt like using other chargers, data connection is shoddy. OppO inform that they will release stable ROMs every 2-3 months. I can't use my phone for 2-3 months like this.
For another 100 bucks I could have got a Sony Xperia Z however I'm now stuck with a under performing 500 dollar phone. It would have been easier to throw it in the river if it was 200-300 dollars.
Hardware good.

From everything I have read they have a few bugs, but they are working on them. This is why they update bi weekly. I have a couple friends with this phone that love it. They moved from the note 2 to the oppo...which is what I'm doing next week.
All the positive reviews outweigh the negative ones about this device. Plus, the dev community is making the phone even better. I hear GREAT THINGS about CM on this device.
Sent from The Bacon Pope's Galaxy Note 2

The oppo is a great phone. Specs are great as well as build quality. Yes....the software needs some work, but they're constantly pushing out updates and firefly is hopefully right around the corner. That being said, I'm running CM right now and the phone is butter....no issues whatsoever and even though I still have my Note 2, this has become my daily driver. I'm really happy with my purchase

the bad thing is that noone of my friends has this phone and that you can only buy it from the official homepage.. i would really like to test it somehow..
could you guys tell me how the mobile data connection is? i am really scared of the steal structure :/
if only the software is bad (and only at the moment) but the hardware is powerfull, i dont really care. software can be fixed :thumbup:

I think Oppo is very great phone. And specification hardware is high end but not very expensive. You must try it to use from you friend which using this Oppo Find 5. And you can find the different from other phone.
And you right about software. As long as the developer want make great phone, they must repair the software and also make something different application to support the phone
Sent from my X909 using xda premium

The Find 5 is a nice phone. I came from the Xperia T, which I loved as well. You're really okay with either, since they are both very development friendly.
If you do pick the find, expect to use 3rd party apps for some things, the stock ROM is a bit green on functionality. If you like CM, it runs well on the Find for sure.
If you are impatient and can't stand some minor bugs, then go for the Sony (which probably has its own bugs).
I am a heavy business user, and have had a few issues, but nothing that ruins the experience. The camera is bad all around ATM, but I don't use that much.
Sent from my Find5 using Tapatalk 2

i really think software is not a point to matter about this phone unless the hardware can handle everything.. the only think i gonna miss is the awesome sense-camera, but clean android like in cm is awesome too.. thanks guys for your statements
