Ive found that running cm7 without switching the kernel works best. I've been using nightlies for a week now with absolutely no issues whatsoever. Now before I would switch kernels just to overclock and that's when issues started arising. Try running your roms with the kernels they come with. Guarantee you a much better experience.

Agreed, I just got a little scratch on my screen, meh nothing to cry about but gorilla glass would be a plus.
This is a bomb ass phone, lots of stable Rom's here.

loving my NS on CM7 at the moment too

I love my wife's Nexus. I've got an Epic on SRF 1.2 and Genocide. I've done a lot of work to get it just right so that it's stable, fast, and gives great battery life. However, I can't do a lot of things with Go launchers and themes with it and stuff. Her Nexus is stock rooted, with the Go launcher and different themes, runs nearly as fast stock 1.0 ghz as my Epic running 1.2 ghz, and gets about the same battery life despite using a brighter screen setting.

I miss alot of things my epic had. Touchwiz, the multimedia capabilities, the camera, gorilla glass. I've yet to break 15 hours of battery life on my nexus. I've hit 35 on my epic. (Though I think its because I was able to shut 3g off and keep 4g on.) I never used 3g, so I'm sure shutting it off got me awesome battery life.

Sent from my Nexus S MV from the XDA Premium app.

Nexus S is the bomb diggity. Love the ROM selection, love the screen though gorilla glass would be a plus. I use Zagg screen protectors on all my devices so the scratching isn't really a huge concern. I waited for the white Nexus to come to Telusplanet north of the border and I have never been happier with a phone. Definitely no buyers remorse here even after a month of use.

I just got this phone today and I'm all stock at the moment. Coming from heroc so even without root this phone is so much faster than the hero that really the only thing I am missing is the ability to take a screen shot to show it off online...yes I'm too lazy to do that through usb. Actually, I miss the notification toggles too but for now I'll live. I'm sure I won't last too long without rooting but I'll be doing a bit of reading first.

Gorilla glass is just a gimmick, you need a screen protector anyways so why does it matter.

I do too, but it looks grey if they isn't a direct and bright light source on it. I kind of like it.
In the sun/light its completely blue.

Galaxy SIII Amber Brown looking good

Got a hold of the Galaxy SIII Amber Brown, so far compared to the AT&T version, the international version with the Quad-Core is much smoother. Really liking the Amber Brown SIII.

Well if someone gave you a choice to have the i9305 or the i9300 both for free. I can bet you would take the one that has 4g&3g + 2gb ram... Instead of 3g & 1gb of ram.
I9305 I feel is more fluid I get less stutters and it feels more like butter then when I had the i9300 with jb polish.
That's your answer. Enough said

The GT-I9300 scored higher in Quadrant compared to the US AT&T version I have. I really don't go by benchmarks that much, but the I9300 runs buttery smooth compared to the AT&T SIII. Really like that I don't get any lag at all.

That depends on if you prefer faster data downloads, , then the LTE version would be better for you. If you want some better speed the I9300 will be faster.
So far both phones are great, but for me, I am liking the I9300 better.

The I9305 would be better as you would get the faster data, which I get on the AT&T SIII, but the data speed on the I9300 is doing prettyngood on AT&T network, but I am going to look into changing the APN on the I9300 and see if I can get better download speeds.
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda premium

I am deciding between the i9300 and the i9305 but I am leaning towards the i9300. This is mainly because of the large dev support community. Currently, there are only two custom ROMs available and will certainly lag behind in terms of dev support. What's more important, 1GB or an endless selection of ROMs, firmware, apps, tweaks and user support?

There's an Aussie variant with 2gb ram and quad core

I hope the colors arrive to Galaxy Note II and other future devices too.

That would be nice to see on the Galaxy Note II. My guess will be that we should see some other few colors from Samsung for the Note II. Maybe end of December or January.

S4 worth the price?

Hey guys!
I am planning to buy a HTC One or a S4. (Oh another of those comparisons)
Well, the One is sold at SGD 488 (USD 385) for the 32 GB version, while the S4 (GT-I9505) is sold at SGD 578 (USD 457) for the 16 GB version.
Is the S4 really worth the extra price and lesser storage space?
I only have 8gb SD cards around, I care for heavy gaming like MC4 and GTA VC and good ROMs. I also take pictures and videos quite often, and I DO care for a SUPERSMOOTH UI and GREAT BATTERY LIFE.
Which should I get? Thanks in advance.

I don't own the HTC One, but I just hate its ugly face with the 2 ugly speakers on the top and on the bottom. Even its build quality seems to be what some people call "metal Premium"(that always make me laugh), its performance and its uni body design just doesn't appeal me. However it seems that its screen and its camera are very good.

Battery wise you can always get a second battery and a dock. This way you'll always have a second fully charged battery with the Samsung.
With the HTC, you'll have to rely on the charge of a single battery and/or frequent chargings.

I have had the Nexus 4 too and in smoothness and speed when opening apps and widgets it is much faster than the S4. But then the N4 doesn`t have a 7GB rom + features But i missed some very usefull features offered by Samsung that i like to use and after a while i found the Nexus 4 a bit boaring.So overall i would say that the S4 is not fully worth the price of 650 euro`s that for 369 euro`s the Nexus 4 is a very good phone and offers the latest updates by Google.

I run all my games flawlessly, a little lag happens rarely sometime, but globaly, it runs everything perfectly. I have the i9500 octacore. I don't try the i9505 one. From all the review and test I saw, i9505 suffer from little lag using Air features and has less fps in games. I tried Zombiewood(gameloft) on i9505 and i9500, when there are a lot of zombies who appear, the i9505 become really laggy whereas the i9500 still run flawlessly.

Well I am quite satisfied with mine.. I must say that it is fast enough and even faster with custom roms and kernels...
Camera is pretty good... Not in the dark but then again does not matter much
Quality of video is great and the sound is okay..
I have had an HTC before and it was okay but so sadly built...
The screen here is great... I have no problems with mine

I went for the S4, decided that I needed the 13 MP camera. Can we change the speed of animation to be faster (when opening apps, switchong between apps, etc) to be like the One's? I hate the speed of the S4, makes the phone look slow when it is not.

Black S4 actually Black?

I am going to purchasing my Galaxy S4 GT-i9500 here in the next couple of days, hopefully today. I want to get the black one, however from a lot of the pictures I have seen of it, it actually looks more gray than black. Kinda like the note 2 did. If this is the case then I'll probably get the white s4. If anyone can confirm it is black and not gray at all that would be much appreciated.
