Nice step up I think considering I sold HD2 for more then I paid for G2x. So far I like the phone, IPS panel is much better then LCD on HD2, speakerphone is better, and camera as well. Its also dual core and has Tagra GPU....so I recommend the switch if anyone is interested in G2x
Is LG optimus 2x p990 the EU version or completely different?

Hey everyone,
Looking for a phone for around 150 UK pounds with a big display, good camera and long screen on time
Heard the note 3 would suit me
Is it still getting updated? Big dev support still?
How's the Camera?
What to look for in 2nd hand phones
Are the repairs on the display cheap?
Is it worth buying a cracked display cheaper and getting it fixed?
Is the upgrade to note 4 worth it?????
Sorry loads of questions
Coming from an meizu mx5 very poor support sot of around 4 hours and camera Isnt great poor support again from meizu

I just bought one for my wife. I have one too and they are great.
It cost me about £220 second hand. The note 4 is considerably more and not £100+ better. So sick with the note 3. Camera is 13 mega pixel and more than just adequate.
I don't really care what the Samsung support is, I put custom roms on both phones so they think they are note 5's. The support on xda is all you need. Get a decent case and screen protector and it'll last.
If you can get it for a price you want them go for it. Still a great phone.

Thank you for the honest reply
Whats roms are good for battery life
Well. I'm using the phronensis rom, which, despite its silly name is pretty dammed good. But have a look around, the thread titles will usually say if they are geared for performance or battery life (or both).
If you're new to rooting and installing custom roms then I'd recommend the all in one tool kit by skipsoft. Just search 'xda skipsoft' in Google. It pretty much does it all for you (or at least it holds your hand through the process). Just make sure that what you tell it is correct and toy should be good to go.
And be careful. I always read the last few comments in a thread to see what bugs have been reported and if the rom is still being updated. Wouldn't hurt to look up a tutorial on YouTube either.
Send me a private message if you'd like a phone chat about it
Would suggest flashing Lean or Idle kernel for good battery life.
Thanks guys
Going to buy a note three tonight for 140 pounds

Buy it unlocked, otherwise unlock codes from EE will cost you. And there are no such tools.
And very likely you're looking at SM-N9005, the Snapdragon version. There's a tiny chance you might have happened upon N900, the Exynos version that has no 4G support. The performance of the two variants is identical.
Thank you , the price for an unlocked note is alot more expensive than the ee branded ohone

For me after trying a lot of roms the better battery life have got is with this rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-qs-n9005-lp-t3037655
right gents,
i am now a proud owner of a note 3 unlock, running stock lolipop atm 5.0 going to root and start trying a rom,
paid £160 got an extra 3 batteries plus official samsung box, and samsung usb 3.0 extra battery charger...
and Armoured Case,
Slight marks on left hand side of casing, does not affect screen
i have another case, glass screen coming tomorrow also!
Thanks guys, very happy
cant believe how big it is im coming from a 5.5 inch phone also
Picked one up for $35 as a back up and to flash roms, best amount of money I've ever spent on a Android device!
For a phone this old it still kicks ass.

Phronesis (Ancient Greek: φρόνησις) is a word used in the ancient greek and means "wisdom" or "intelligence", common theme in philosophical debates. As you can see, this word can be anything but silly my friend
Thanks for the translation of the name but got to agree does sound odd, not yet flashed but does look absolutely beautiful.
35 dollars wow bargain that's just over 20 pounds in the UK.
Are the phones capable of fast charging only seems to be charging at 1200mah on all my chargers even the fast charge 2.0 charger I have

I bought a G6 after my HTC M9 died.
It's a good phone and it's been the best phone I've ever had in terms of battery life.
If you make the decision to switch make sure you get one of the units that can be rooted tho.
I would stay with the 10. It's still a very good phone with great audio quality and fast performance
Generally I was very happy with my HTC 10, except battery just went to **** after a year. I went from roughly 3.5 hoirs of SOT to 6-6.5 hours when I got G6. Aside from this, phones are on par. The HTC definitely beats non-quad-DAC model in SQ.

Sorry if this appears lazy. I have searched and searched, but just wanted a definitive up to date answer before i buy.
Australia seems to have 2 models - H870K and H870DS.
Are BOTH still unrootable?
Thanks.
Yes. Dont do it. Buy something else.

Thanks. It's an insurance claim on a S5. I was tossing up between choice of S7 and G6.
So, S7 it will be then.
Or perhaps I pay the diff for an S8.
If you are after something in this price range, I'm considering selling my G6 to get a HTC U11. Seems to have everything I want. Including better camera, unlockable bootloader and software updates.
I wont be owning another piece of LG hardware again. EVER. No TV, no phone, no tablet. Nor will any of my family or friends

I would consider that - but it's not offered as an option. Thanks.
