didn't bother to research the phone before buying it?

Flash a custom ROM. The stock touchwiz is so overbloated with crap that you won't get the best experience. I always flash my new phones right away and that's how I get the best speeds out of them.

No I researched it and mf3 came out the day I bought it so it got locked. I have SS installed and yes there are some rom options but all in all I think the phone sucks. The screen is dim, the software is bloated and half the features are cool but I never use them. I mean it's a cool phone but it just seems slow and buggy for a major flagship but then again they all are kinda buggy.

I'll trade you straight up. I hate my razor. It seems slow to me, and rough around the edges. I haven't changed the blade recently though, so that could be the problem...

I agree. Prior to the S4 I had a Razr Maxx. The only thing I miss is the battery life. Other than that the S4 blows the Razr out of the water. Of course, I did turn off animations, a known cause of lag. And as far as being locked down, so was the Razr. It also had a locked bootloader.

Anyone happy with their GS3

I got my gs3 and so far everything good not big upgrade compare to what I had, just the network but then again that's one of the major consideration on smartphones, phone is fast, camera great, 64 gb plus 16gb of storage and loving everything even the screen and the color (pebble blue) I see a lot people complaining like always when a phone is release(first is where the f*** is the phone and after they get it, does your phone do this?), anyways anyone else out there happy as well?

Can't you just search for the beats audio software mod that's been zipped up and flash it?
Criticism I heard/read about beats audio is that it's mostly software enhanced "gimmicks", E.Q stuff etc, and can be flashed to most phones...

I've heard the "Beats" audio, it's mostly enhanced bass and tweaked treble. Was not extremely impressed.
As for my new GSIII, I like it. Came from a flashed GSI. The improvement is alot more than coming from an older laptop to a state of the art one...
Yeah, I rooted it a few hours after getting it.
I came from the Aria, so the difference is pretty significant. I will say that I think the screen is ever so slightly too large. I think 4.3-4.5 inch displays are the perfect size.

Came from a gs2. Ran aokp and fluxxi kernel and it was smooth.
But the gs3 beats it by a mile.
Gps is faster. Battery life is way better. Data speed (lte) ****s on hspa and I love the screen... Plus the camera is very nice.
So overall the difference for me is pretty big.

Happy, mostly... Wish I wouldn't have had the evo to play with first, grr... That camera knocks this one's dingle in the dirt, the display is much nicer, and the devs are killing that thing, lol, I'm sitting here with my rooted phone and thumb up my arse wishing I knew how to dev cause we have not one Damn Rom... On the other hand I do like playing with Samsung as it's a tad different than HTC. It feels maybe a little better than evo in my hands, in a strange way, the phone feels a little cheaper so I'm not as worried to use it like it's intended. This thing gets hot and has performance issues and hopefully all my "issues" are all software related... It does have removable battery which is huge for me as I like to keep a few extra batteries charged and ready to go, HATE to be tethered to a wall. The sound on this thing is really loud and clean, really appreciate that... The digitizer is a bit spastic at times but that might just need tweaked as well... It does have 2GB's of ram:-~ lol, I don't know any Sammy devs either, did they all go to evo??? Lol, Need to flash something, going through withdrawals:-o I also don't have any of the display having the black spots or weird colors so maybe I got lucky for once... Ramble, ramble...

I have an evo lte too and it's screen + camera is beautiful. I just got my s3 in today and I'm sure they will be more devs when everyone is actually able to get the s3. I mean I pre-ordered mine on the 7th and it didn't even come until today with all the shortages.
Give it time, the devs will come here =)

Epic4g to gs3.....

Hey well ive had my gs3 for about a week coming from two years on the epic....and just wanted to chime in my humble .02 for those skeptics that are undecided wether to jump ship or not. Ill start off by saying im a die_hard physical user and I couldn't be happier with my new fone. It takes a lil to get used to the onscreen keyboard but since the screen is bigger its extremely accurate. My second biggest concern was the lack of lte in my area (los angeles).... but with the awesome help of xda developers, a couple of tweaks here and there and my speeds are not bad at all. The battery on this fone is awesome....also with tweaks here and there. Overall this fone is a beast....camera is awesome with no lag and bluetooth sound streaming on my car is clearer and louder. I got the otter carriying case which is extremely sturdy and helps the fone not feel so light. Two spare batteries oem and a battery charger, a new bluetooth motorola elite silver with awesome sound and battery through which i can stream music and a hdmi dock audio for my tv and i couldnt be happier. If anyone is interested ill report my current rom/setup and tweaks and if u have any reasonable questions or concerns ill keep an eye on this thread. Hope it helps!!!

1) LTE? 2) KB: do miss it, no way is on screen KB replacing a physical one 3) Screen is huge but I honestly can't tell much of an improvement over Epic quality wise, 4) it is smooth, with these specs - but hate TW in any iteration and S3 AOSP development isn't there yet AFAIK.
When LTE will show up and AOSP roms catch up S3 will be a much more attractive choice.

Different strokes for different folks. I was contemplating a VZW GNex while the 2ble data promo was still running. Came away unimpressed, less so with G3 but still. For me, having a hardware KB, a few AOSP bugs but none that bother me, avoiding a contract x 2 years on a network with a big ? in my area, OG Epic doing everything I need it to do and having all the accessories I want is just fine.
This really belongs in the new phone discussion
And the whole Nexus vs. S3 argument has been beaten to death
If you want the quickest software updates and lowest upgrade cost get a Nexus
If you want the best hardware and have a few more upgrade bucks get the S3
There, the whole discussion reader digested!

Anyone from ATT s3?

Hey guys, I have an att galaxy s3. I'm using an aokp ROM on it, and I really like it. I'd like a phone with a slightly smaller screen though, and for the price of the nexus 4 I think I need to get one. Is anybody else coming from an att s3 and what are some of your reasons?

Going from a S3 to a Nexus 4? Same size phone, IPS screen. Don't know why you would bother unless it's going to be a beater.
From the looks of it the phone looks much more elegant than the s3. I'm tired of having my phone creak all the time. And official Google sounds really nice especially after using my nexus 7. Aokp Roms on s3 are nice but mine all have issues
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I'm coming from a T-Mobile S3. I don't think I will notice that much of a difference in screen size. The AOSP/AOKP roms were always a little buggy and had bad battery life on my S3 compared to the touchwiz roms. And since I hate TW and love vanilla Android, the Nexus 4 made a lot of sense.

Exactly. I have bad battery life as well with aokp. Only way to fix it is by flashing kernels but I have to do that every update and its just getting way too crazy to have aokp + more than 2hr screen on time. And with aokp my phone is always so hot. Nexus 4 sounds pretty good.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I am. My reasons why?
-Pure Google
-Quad-Core
-No more buggy ROMS
-Latest and greatest Updates
-More elegant in my taste
-More dev support
-More customization (easier bootloader to unlock, and as I said before, the dev support will be ahead of the game)
-WORLD PHONE. Going to be graduating this year.. If I travel for college or etc, my phone is always reliable.
I'm coming from a Sprint S3. Ideally, I think I'd like to try another S3 of the GSM variant. But I will probably be getting the new Nexus.
I'm seriously debating it myself. I love my nexus 7...my first Nexus device. I love my S3...just not sure what the real benefits would be. I love AOKP but putting that on the nexus, wouldnt that be defeating the purpose?

Couldn't you guys just sell your S3 for roughly the same price as a Nexus 4? Local listings where I'm at seem to be in the $300 range. Of course you'd lose out on LTE, but hey.
Definitely could. Just not sure I want to yet.

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.

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.

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 an s4 to a moto x

I started at&t services five days ago and i procured an s4. when i buy a phone i like to think of what it can do now and not what it could do after rooting. in fact, i havent rooted any of my personal phones in almost a year or so.
immediately i felt just how cheap the s4 felt, and slippery. the screen was beautiful though. battery life was great too. i couldnt get over the software hiccups, all the at&t AND samsung bloat and the almost square pics that the 13mp camera provided (when in 13mp mode). if i were to open my app drawer and fling the pages around i was on occasion greeted with lag. i couldnt stick with a phone for two years that performed like this, my previous phone was an htc one on tmobile that didnt lag at all.
so i decided to exchange the phone, i didnt want another one, that phone was great but it just charged so slow, and to a heavy user/ ingress player; its a bane. so i grabbed a moto x. have had it for almost two or three days now. no regrets so far. the display is amazing, i can notice small jaggies when holding the x about 5 inches from my face. battery life is slightly better than the s4. gps is spot on, so is my compass ive noticed. build quality is great too. camera, out in a sunny day does amazing! low light situations has me usually retaking the pic every now and then. speakers are awesome too, not as loud as the ones, but good enough.
over all, i dont miss the s4 at all and i dont regret my purchase. the value adds really do make this device worth its price. while i was typing this i have "ok google now" a few times. its touchless features is a god send in the car too
How is the 4g signal compared to the S4?
I did the same thing except on Verizon and don't miss the s4 at all. I came from a gnex and the moto x feels perfect. Nearly stock optimized android plus you can actually hold the phone in one hand.

I did the same thing. I got rid of my S4 and I'm loving this phone. The size is so much better and it fells much more solid. The switch back down to a 720p resolution didn't really make a difference. My only complaint is the camera and it seems that we have updates coming to improve the performance.
For the s4 to moto x guys would you say the text is just as readable or better because the moto x is 720 p?

I think it's just as readable but the S4 is a bit nicer.

I have also recently switched from the S4 to the Moto X. So far, absolutely no regrets. The activate notifications are so intuitive, and after about a week and a half I still feel like i'm performing a magic trick when I use touchless control. I believe this phone was specifically made to show that the latest and greatest specs aren't needed to have great performance on a phone.
You guys are fueling my decision to switch. I want to so bad.... you all are saying its worth it I hope so

What's the best part of the phone for you? I've used all the above at one point or another and still have the One. The S4 was way to gimmicky for me and the Z10 just doesn't have the necessary apps for my everyday activities.

I will be going to Verizon after work to switch over, it seems that most of the people that are talking about it are very satisfied with the X.
Well I switched so far so good I just have to get used to the smaller screen.

For me its the size and closer to stock than any other besides a nexus..I've owned a ton of android phones besides the ones mentioned lol including the nexus s and nexus 4 but they are too plain... The s4 had way too many gimmicks that frankly didn't work that well IMO.. And battery life absolutely sucked on that phone for me... Z10 I loved but my key banking apps ( even with sideloading (which was unreliable to to begin with) were still missing android libs and still didnt work) and the fact the maps app completely skipped over businesses close to me when I searched that was it for me... The one was an awesome phone but I went through two of them that the camera would just freeze and cause the camera to crash over and over again...
So here I am lol.... When I was on Verizon I loved the Motorola DROID line and have been looking for a good offering from them on AT&T and finally have it

I any to Verizon and picked up the X and I'll spend the weekend trying to get use to it. Ironically, my wife picked up the G2 while I was at worked. This will be interesting.
