Alright so I will be upgrading my phone VERY soon and I'm not sure of which phone to get honestly. The note 2 has amazing secs but its huge, and the gs3 is not as good as the note 2 (in regards to specs) but the size is a little more convenient. I know both are great phones, but I'm just looking for some opinions from people with a REASON...no "omg the gs3 is better!"..give me some reasons why.
And if anyone knows anything about how the android development is going for them, let me know because I went on to the gs3's dev page and there were like 50 roms to choose from...not sure where to even start, but im on PA2.54 at the moment and want similar features.
Any help is greatly appreciated ^_^ hard to let go of my OG Epic but it's time to move on lol.

I'm starting to see more threads about the sgs2 and others more than the Vibrant itself. If you want opinions or have question on a certain phone other than the Vibrant please either look for the appropriate forum (assuming there is one for that phone) or google-google-google and you should find the answers your looking for.
Keep this forum for the people who still want to hold on to their Vibrants (like me), cuz maybe they are still satisfied with it (like me), are too cheap to pay to upgrade (like me), can't afford to upgrade (fortunately not me), feel the phone still could pretty much do what new ones coming out could do (like me), or just feel that until a new phone could get me a beer, throw the trash, drive for me when i'm drunk, and give me , then its not worth the upgrade (like me).
YES the Vibrant IS old (like me) but this is its forum and I don't want to sort through multiple threads of different phones to see what's up still with the Vibrant or to see what question this person who just got a Vibrant (yes there is people barely getting one) has.

i think its just the general section. for the most part i the other sections are just vibrant stuff.
I think most of us who have the Vibrant and are looking at new phones are just used to posting here and want other vibrant users opinions...
i see your point though, but i kind of like reading about some of these other phones from Vibrant user perspectives

Right, but for me its a section about general things about the Vibrant that would not fall into the other sections. I feel if you really wanna find out about a certain phone other than the Vibrant it would be best to go to the "general" section of that phone forum and ask the actual users of that phone. If its about a phone coming out then google.
Maybe Im being a prick cuz I do remember starting a thread about which Android tablet would you get a while back to get opinions but its just it seems that now the main focus has been on the SGS2. Just see how many threads have been open about it in this forum.

i agree with kboater a bit and with you a bit.
i put up a hands on of the sgs2 from a vibrant owner's perspective. i did this because i know someone going from an OG Droid to an SGS2 is going to praise it like a god, but thats not how people going from a vibrant to a sgs2 are going to feel. people with a vibrant specifically are worried about GPS, build quality, screen quality, and speed. if you don't care, then don't read.
however you are right when there are threads that have nothing to do with the vibrant at all or even samsung (ie the Amaze 4G).
this is still a vibrant forum and if you have any questions about it, people will still answer them...especially in the Q/A section. General is broad and i think my thread is still on topic in that regard. also, up until very recently, a tmobile gs2 forum didn't even exist, and the bulk of the future posters for that forum are here.
Looks like we all agree to agree lol.
I feel the same as you 3 .
90% of the problem is theres no forum for the sgs2 as of yet
This is a general section for talking about things that interest Vibrant users that don't fit in the other forums, right? New phones to replace our aging Vibrants is of interest to a lot of Vibrant owners, so I feel like its appropriate here.

+1 to that plus up until yesterday morning there wasnt a tmobil SGS2 forum but now there is so u probably wont see much more of that stuff and if u do it be from me because i admit i posted alot of it about the SGS2. But Droidificator has a point but u will see alot less of that stuff since our forum is up and running now.
Hey, whats goin on in here?

Picked up a desire HD. Decided to get away from the apple ecosystem. So i got rid of my iphone 4 and 3gs. Now i have skyrocket and desire HD. Just saying whats up. i've already rooted both phones and flashed several roms. Looking forward to this community.
Welcome, were mostly friendly round here.
Don't be afraid to ask questions & such, just do a quick search first to be sure you don't come across as a n00b, nobody wants that.

roger that.
Hi
I'm pretty new to this myself - not the phone but to rooting and flashing roms. So far its going great, those devs are really doing a good job, it's really sweet with all this activity going on with ICS. I'm on Virtuous Quattro RC1 myself - a few bugs - but really good
If you're too much into gaming then you might miss your iphone 4 a bit but if you like a variety of softwares and tweaks then android is the way. Your best bet would be to check out the ICS roms laying around...
Welcome btw !

I'm very aware of the reason the development forums require 10 posts to post in, but I can't bring myself to post 10 things on topics that don't interest me (well, 9 with this one). How did you guys deal with this?
Remember you don't need 10 posts to PM the developer of a ROM if you have found a bug. Most users now consider the Development section as the "place" to post anything as it gets a little more traffic. You don't need 10 posts to read or download ROMs.
Unless your actively developing/developed something then there should be no reason to post there.
You should read, search & then ask.
My absolute hate is "Thanks" posts. If I see them I will delete them. They do nothing, but "boost" the post count. If you want to say thanks, hit the "Thanks" button. Or Buy them a beer/coffee/other if they have a donation link. Or send them a PM personally thanking them.
hey guys, i wanted to say thanks to everyone in this forum:
- the devs for taking time creating amazing work that to help improve, theme, mod, etc. our device to an extent beyond the what samsung/sprint couldnt or wouldnt do. THE DEVS ARE THE DRIVING FORCE OF THIS SITE - i cannot thank u enough either monetarily or by clicking the "thanks" button. ur work (regardless if i have flashed it or not) is incredible. cheers!
- the members for helping out the devs w/bug reports, answering questions, and general help w/either questions i had or welcoming in a rookie. this is a VERY friendly forum and thats not always the case in other forums. thanks!
for anyone who cares i haved moved on to the GSIII. i took advantage of the one day $100 best buy sale a few days back. the EPIC 4G was my first smartphone and android device. because of the devs and the community here - I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A "non android" PHONE. i understand now why its even laughable to me that anyone would purchase an iPhone over and android device.
long live the original and BEST of the Galaxy S devices.:highfive:
thanks again guys!!!
*for the savvy readers who caught the (*)asterick in the title of thread...its because my wife still has her EPIC 4G. i made needs ya'lls help in the future
Started one of these in my old forum days, and that was my old Galaxy skyrocket. Basically the topic says it all, anything goes, well keep it cool, and clean.
So few topics I'd like to cover..
1. This phone is awesome. I am coming from the m8, the size of the 6 is massive. Reminds me of my note 2, but a different kind of beast. The user interface is smooth, with little to know hiccups, and what I think is one of the best screens out there.
2. Anyone watch the NFL? ****ing broncos look like ****.
3. Anyone have any suggestions one places to take photos in LA?
Please use the Off Topic section in the General discussion section for this. The general section of device forums is for gernerl discussion about the device.
Thanks

Hey there guys!
I really hate to do this because I do (most of the time) enjoy browsing on XDA and keeping myself up-to-date about most devices I own but with the S6 lately it's getting far too annoying, hard and kinda weird...
The development section here is far too cluttered with unuseful custom ROMs where literally most do the same and/or are worse than others, Kernels, Apps, hacks, tweaks, ... you get what I mean.
Reading threads or finding a (new) custom ROM that fits your needs is by far too complicated here since, when you think you found a good one, another one comes around the corner or another user recommends you another ROM and so on, a never ending story… Comparing different ROMs never comes to quite a good end here either…
I own a few Android devices and I've never experienced such a thing happening, I mean yes there are many threads for different ROMs there too but at least they manage to get a good overview of what they try to do better as example, also there aren't at least 5 new ROM threads started per week.
Anyways, just my few cents here. Have fun hating on me or something if you'd like so or try to give suggestions on "how to fight through this cluttered mess" the best way. It's just extremely annoying because I and a few other S6 owners I've asked just try to avoid XDA by the sheer mess which was created here.
Well, I kindly disagree with your opinion: for me there is not something like too much development, having more choice is always a good thing. Coming from a OnePlus One I'm accustomed to tens of ROMs to choose from.
That said my advice to help choosing a custom ROM without having to read too much is: go with the ROM whose thread have the most answers (XtreStoLite); a lot of people usually don't do soo big mistakes.
It's the same for pretty much every other phone. Nothing unique to the S6.

Lol, and here I am, thinking the dev scene for our S6 is stone dead.
It all relative, of course. I'm coming from the OPO as well so I'm used to seeing A LOT more activity.
