Nexus 4 vs Galaxy S3 - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone, I just want to know what do you think is better? I have a Nexus 4 and I like it a lot personally, I like it more than the S3. BUt a lot of people I know say the S3 is better because of the features? And I want to prove them wrong so is there anything that the N4 has over the S3 aside from specs and updates?

Theres already a lot of threads about this. Here and Here.
I personally think the features of the S3 are useless and gimmicky. And TouchWiz is honestly the worst UI i've ever seen. It looks like one of those cheap knock-off asian phones that are trying to copy the look of iOS. Just terrible.

Porting official Galaxy S Gingerbread ROM to Nexus S for Touchwiz

Hey guys.
As you already know, official Galaxy S Gingerbread ROM released.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009177
That means we've got a "Gingerbread ROM with Touchwiz UI" !
So let's encourage developers to port it to Nexus S
That would be soooo awesome, but at this point the MT3G has more development than the Nexus...they even have honeycomb.
this topic made me smile .. Before the nexus s I owned a galaxy s .. lots and lots of people there want an aosp looking rom and want to get rid of touchwiz asap .. And now I ahve a nexus S with the aosp I have been wanting for so long and see a topic requesting touch wiz

Same here. Go figure...
However, CM7 already has all it takes to make your phone look a lot like TouchWiz. It has the statusbar widgets, and the launcher can be customized to look a great deal like it. Is it the home widgets? Cause I'm sure there must be plenty of alternatives in the Market.
Heck, CM7 + ADW is even far more customizable. I don't see a reason why anyone would need TouchWiz at this point.
the reason people sold their Galaxy S to nexus S is because of the stupid touch wiz. and you want people to bring it ? i hate you from my heart

TW apps(camera, calendar, music player, video player), codecs...the launcher isn't a reason why people would want it imo.

Pretty sure it was Samsung's incompetence of releasing Android 2.2 in a timely fashion and ROMs basing off Samsung internal leaks with kernels that weren't open-sourced.
I personally don't care if someone ports TouchWiz. If they do, then great. I won't be using it but trying it out to play around with. There's a difference between requesting and something actually being done.
I would definitely like to have the choice of trying out Gingerbread TouchWiz. I've noticed that the Nexus S doesn't really have as much roms as I thought it would have. Maybe its because 2.3 is the latest software and it would defeat the purpose of putting 2.2 sense, 2.2 blur etc or its simply the fact that devs are holding out for dual core and quad core phones.

Most likely because of 2.2 and 2.3. Porting another FrameWork takes a lot of work. It's not that easy to do especially to get it working as a daily driver

Most people are obsessed with speed and latest and greatest, not what offers the most. They say TouchWiz is buggy but so is Gingerbread...obviously I could go on and on.
Why is there so much hostility with reference to Nexus S and development? Why do people consider the Nexus S inferior and not worthy of ROM development? It's a phone, people own it. If all you do is bash the phone and the community, what is your endgame? I say, the more ROMs the better, no matter what they are. And if development dies because of lack of interest, so be it, but let the natural course of the device play out.

That's not the issue anymore will those roms. Not to mention the only leg nexus has up the captivate is nfc and vanilla android. I like the touchwiz icons, maybe it is because i also use an iphone 4, but those stock app icons make me want to scream
And judging from the 2.3.3 has bricked my gps thread, i am getting less and less excited about owning a nexus s once it arrives with 850mhz 3g bands. Looks like samsung still cant get the gps right..now to see if they did something to the gs2.

Because I'm bored with default Android. I just want to try different things.
And yes Touchwiz is stupid, I hate it when I first saw that, especially lock-screen. But theme looks great.
the only think i'll be looking forward in a port from SGS to SNS are the mkv codecs and hardware play

Try the MIUI rom I think it's the rom that you're looking for.
@allgamer: in cm7 the hardware encoding actually works. 720p I smooth but no audio is being outputted. That's the only thing that needs to be fixed. Regular videos are fine.

The only reason I hated TouchWiz was because of bloatware, and Samsung's closed source issue which hindered development. Other than that, the UI looks great to me. The blue accents are nice and is easier to view than the gloomy green of the NS. Codecs are a major plus. The launcher is acceptable. My reason for moving to the NS is for CM7 as well as Google updates. Therefore, I'm all for porting the Galaxy S Gingerbread ROM.

Question about touchwiz.

Hello, I'm coming from an iphone, I've had one since they came out. But I'm about to move to a galaxy s3, I know I know, it took me long enough.
My question is, I have been reading this forum for a few days and it seems that most people that have a galaxy s3 really don't like the version of ICS and touchwiz that come on the phone. Why is this? What about it is so bad? Again I have never had an android, and have only used a galaxy s3 in person a few times at the AT&T store. Just trying to learn.
Also anyone have any tips to someone moving from an iphone?
Reason is because ics stock looks might be better for some people, and some apps look and act different, coming from an iPhone I wouldn't worry much, I feel the touchwiz makes it easier for iPhone user to enjoy android, there is a lot good features on galaxy s 3 that you would enjoy, I would recommend to get an extra battery and play with the OS a lot is different, also get ics keyboard on the play store because stock keyboard sucks, once you comfortable with Android try to find out more about rooting and cyanogen 9 which is android os without any added features from any OEM good luck and enjoy the big screen

It's all personal preference.I believe Most people don't like touchwiz because its to far away from "vanilla" android which would be the experience you get on a nexus device. I'd say try it out and if you like it stick with it, if not you can switch home launchers or go to a new rom. I've recently switch from an iPhone myself and personally don't mind touchwiz on the s3

[Q] Replacing my Nexus S. Need help to deicide!

Guys i need a little help. I am replacing my lovely nexus s.
My candidates are
Nexus 4
Galaxy S4
HTC ONE
Galaxy S3
Today i tried an S3 and a HTC ONE and an S4 (i9505) and a n4.
I love the S4 the design i think is much better than the s3, but the ONE has the best design, but i never buy a phone just 4 the design. And it is impossible to replace anything on the HTC One. The camera is not so good either, but the microphone and the stabilization is realy an useful extra. And HTC is never too good on updating its software. N4 is is a good all rounder, but the camera is crap The screen was insanely nice in the s4. My problem is that the s4 browser lagged like hell, i loaded up the verge desktop as my usual test page and during loading it was all choppy and unresponsive even the s3 was much faster! Not to menion my nexus 7 almost my dated nexus s was more responsive.... Maybe the demo phone does not had the final software? Can somone with a stock i9505 can try theverge? Please tell me how the browser behaves on a final s4? thx
I'd suggest you go with the s4. The lag was due to firmware not being ready. Chances are the model you will buy will probably not lag. And even if it does it will be fixed with an update. The s4 has the best hardware around right now, no doubt about that. The htc one is also a great phone and you won't regret buying either of them. I wouldn't buy the nexus 4 or s3 though.

S3 would be only because of price but i dont realy like compromise What you have against the nexus? Do you have the s4?
You may want to ask this in a general section and not in any sub forum as you will get biased replies to whichever forum you ask in. If you have decided to ask here it sounds like you are leaning towards the S4. The One at the moment sounds like the smoothest but if you want/need an external battery and SD slot you should probably go for the S4. The Ones camera isnt bad, its not as good as the S4 in daylight but better in low light. I'd go into a store again then compare the One & S4 to see which one you really like.

Thats a good point, if you like stock android you do not want a S4 unless you want to wait and see about this whole bootloader mess and get cyanogen.

I imagine what is in the store is final retail. I have never seen any device in store running pre-release hardware or firmware. What you see is what you get.
You'll get different views.
If software is important I'd recommend the nexus 4 as you'll get key lime pie before any Samsung or HTC device. It's not bloated with features, it's simple stock Android fast and functional.

Then i will go to another store and try it as if the s4 would behave that much slower as the s3 i would expect lots of people complaining
Only options in my eyes would be the S4 or the One. I have had both, the One first but I had to switch to the S4 as every single unit I found had stuck pixels among other faults. Aside from that it is a great phone, but if you do consider one then make sure you get a good one before you leave the shop!
Alternatively, absolutely no regrets going to the S4 instead.

The camera on the one is a fair bit better in the 1.29 update, check out some comparison reviews. Also, in terms of software updates, I read a piece somewhere that showed pretty categorically that HTC have the best history of updates.

Well lack of expandable storage along with the maximum option being a 16 gb version is the dealbreaker. I have a 16 gb s3 + 32 gb micro sd and I tend to fill that up with music and movies so I wouldn't be able to survive on just 16 gb. Theres also the battery life which doesn't seem to be that great along with it being non removable though I could probably live with it if it was only just that. I don't have the s4 right now. Still trying to decide between the s4 and one...

I have seen that too and HTC is realy better in updating non flagship devices for example the galaxy w does not even get updated from 2.3, but s2 the former flagship got 4.1.2 and wil get 4.2.2 and the HTC sensation remained on 4.0.4. But if someone replaces phone every year that does not realy matter

Do I get HTC M8 tomorrow or wait on S5?

So it's time to retire the G2. I left the S4 for the G2. My first impression of the S4 was lagfest. Drove me insane. Does anyone think the S5 will be the same way?
Without being biased to Samsung, which device do you think will be a better phone? I am not brand loyal. When the announcement of the S5 was over I was highly disappointed and expected much more from them. I haven't had a HTC device since the EVO4g.
Thoughts with the M8 releasing tomorrow?

There is no better device, there's just a matter of preference. If you have a chance go to your local best buy and try the S5. Then go to a Verizon store tomorrow and try the M8 then pick which one you prefer.

If you're gonna retire the G2, would it be possible for you to donate it? I currently maintain a G2 Help Thread, and a G2 Index thread. It would make it much easier for me to help out on these threads and make XDA better. Thanks. If you can't I would understand.

I have seen some camera samples from the M8 and they don't look that good.
4 MP is just not enough IMO, Ultrapixel or not.
Also, it's larger than the S5 and yet has a smaller screen and also On screen buttons.
But it's better that you look at both of them hands on before you decide.

Thank you. I guess I'm not the only idiot here because HTC is a Taiwanese/Chinese company. So HTC phones are literally, chinese.
But anyway, one of the main advantages the 2013 One had now is gone, the 2014 One lacks OIS, big fail.
No OIS in M8
How can they remove an important feature like that for the sake of gimmicks like 2nd camera?

the images from M8 looks even worse that m7 specially in low light AND no OIS #fail
It would seem that there is just alot of fanboys of sony and htc around, as I see people complaing that the s5 is a s4s and all this crap the plain turth is all of the 2014 phones are only a minor upgrade to last year and the m8 even less so.
I just came back from carphone warehouse tottenham court road where i played with the remote err i mean phone.
people say the s5 is zzzz, well this is zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Phone is so very nearly the size of the note 3, it looks good in terms of the shape of the phone but the new material feels less premium than the m7 imo, it feels more plastic like compared to the m7. the htc logo argghh that logo such a waste of space and makes the phone bigger for no reason and uglier imo. the camera is rubbish.
sound quality is good though and the phone is loud and lots pf bass and clarity
screen looks good
phone memory is 16gb in uk with 9.53gb available (yet people complained about the s4) and yet sense 6.0 doesn't have as many features as the s4.
All in all imo its hte least interesting htc phone ive seen since the sensation. Wasn't impressed atall. I remember i was so excited when i played with the htc one last year that just after 3 mins i pre ordered it.
Htc m8 is a big let down in my eyes. Good design with poor camera quality. Hardly any cool software upgrades. This is not the way to sell HTC.

You really need to know what to buy ? Well ain't that cute.
There are 50 million reviews on the Web of all the newer phones and you still want an opinion.
And now you'll decide on 2 opinions which you will get here, if. Interesting.
Sent from my N9005
I don't know why did you pick this Note 3 forum to ask your question, I guess we shall believe that you are confused between the Note 3 and the LG G3?
Well if that's the case then all I can say before buying the Note 3 I was in exact same situation. I was liking the G3, the screen to body ratio it has is really nice, the design is appealing, Knock code is good, OIS enabled camera, curved back is easy to hold and handle, and that display, well it isn't Note 3 class, but still it's QHD (which I personally find meaningless though). Also I personally believe that any UI is better than TouchWiz. But then I came across these two topics,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/crackgate-real-cause-concern-t2890331
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/problem-phone-coverage-t2923043
Also there's the over-sharpening issue of display, which I don't know fixable or not. And how much custom support does it have? Does it have a good kernel? If custom support matters to you that is.
To keep it short mate, LG is still not Samsung, they might be making a lot of progress, maybe at faster rate than Samsung did, but as of now if you want a complete and polished package then you might wanna go with Note 3. Also IMHO, if you can utilize the S Pen then that thing alone can kill any device without it.
Now your choice, remember this is Note 3 section, so if any comments are to come it will favour the Note 3, the opposite will happen if you had asked this on G3 section, that's quite normal, but the above opinion of mine is a completely unbiased one. If I didn't like the G3 I would not have wasted two weeks of continuous reading about it.

If you've got the money, consider the Note 4.

I don't think the note 4 is worth much of an upgrade. CPU OC and firmware port can achieve what the note 4 has to offer. Other than the camera.

As an upgrade from a Note 3, no, it's not worth it at all.
But as an entirely new device coming from something different? I think it is.
