Must-Have Features on your Next Phone? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Plain and simple. List what you look for in a Phone, and go from there. I'll begin with what I want.
Features I believe I Must-Have:
1GB Ram or +
2.0 MP Front Facing Camera or +
8 MP or better, but must be more awesome than Epic's 5MP.
Dual-LED Flash
Quad-Core or +
GPU, Dual-GPU if possible. Must be Nvidia.
720P HD Res or better.
Mini-HDMI to HDMI out.
LTE-Ready
NFC Chip
Minimum ICS, JellyBean is prefferred.
Must be Samsung Branded.
Carriers I prefer it to be in this Order:
AT&T, Verizon, Sprint.
Equivalent or better to Epic's Screen in quality.
A keyboard will ALWAYS be a PLUS for me, but not a deal-breaker if it has everything else I ask for.
Notice I didn't put 3D, I don't think i'd want a phone that'll give me headaches more than what phones already give to a human.
EDIT: Note Bene, Mods, I was uncertain where this thread was best suited, as its questioning everyone, hence, Q&A, but its not tailored to me, but addressed to all in General. Your call if you want to move it. Because I like to move-it, move-it.

This is a pointless thread and there's no question and this is pretty much obvious if not overkill.
Not to be harsh but this is all implied no need for a thread.

• Gives me the ability of flight
• Can print money
• Grants wishes.

Keyboard or gtfo

Not really, what you could do if its pointless is gtfo and don't bother replying. Or if its all "implied" you could of just quoted and said you agreed.
What I wanted was seeing what my fellow epic community want as individuals, not as a group. Some love sense, some are done with samsung. Some don't even want a keyboard. So no, it isn't all implied. I could feed you plenty of pointless threads to questions that have answers STICKIED. So don't bash. I rather hear what everyone else is looking into, rather than answering your past 20+ "pointless" topic questions under your profile. If you look at my profile, you'll realize I'm not a leech who is all about questions, but I also like to GIVE and HELP others, sorry if you're too tunnel-visioned to see that.

Ohh goodie nice comeback. Again if you post a thread under the QnA Forum then ask a question and if you don't want Samsung or any thing of it, why bother. Besides that, i do help believe it or not, and not to mention i actually was asking QUESTIONS.
Sorry please continue your thread now...

You're taking the name of the thread to literally... the question is clearly what are the must have features for your next phone... just because its not in question form doesn't mean its not a question... op just put a question mark at the end of the title to resolve this for the people who need it to be in question form to realise it is a question....
Anyways....
Keyboard is a must
Removable sd is a must
Don't care about dual or quad-core cuz my single core epic runs everything just fine...
1000 mhz out of the box at least (most phones are this or more now right?)
I love samsung products so it must be a samsung unless something else blows my mind! (Defenitely not htc, won't deal with the locked bootloader)
4.5 inch screen would be nice and must be amoled or super amoled! After looking at the epics screen its hard to go to a lesser quality!
That's about it...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

must have a faster processor then the epic.
must have video out
ICS or Jellybean
NFC Chip
I think my next phone is going to be the new Nexus.
I really want to try out Google Wallet with the NFC chip.
OP,
why do u want the NFC chip, is it just because of of Google Wallet or is there another feature the chip can do that I dont know about??

I was looking around youtube last night and saw a projector phone. Yes, a projector phone. I just found out one released in America a few years ago but didnt catch on. How the hell could you NOT want a projector phone? This is amazing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgnADSuF8MA (good luck fitting this in your pocket. Im guessing the average battery life for this thing is 3 hours.)

Flast I get that but my point is all these posts all the thoughts its implied what I want and what you want could be the same or different but its implied that we all want something better I just don't see the point for a thread is all?

HDMI out for sure.
An X-ray device would be nice too. Then someone could make an app for tracking that dime and penny as they goes through my daughter's digestive system.
Infrared would be nice. Could then make a universal remonster ...er, I mean remote app.
FM transmitor.
And the projector. Yeah.

The question is what do people wanna see in their next phone. Quit giving the guy **** for being curious and wanting to compare ideas. He didn't break any forum rules and I for one see no "pointless" or "implied" value in this thread.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

features are nice but
I'd love to have all those features, but I'd much rather prefer a phone that the battery will last all day and by a company who doesn't support it for half a year and then release a new one. This is > than all those super features.

[Question] Will Moto Atrix features be portable to EVO?

So with the Atrix about to be released it has me thinking. Will the features of the "portable laptop" be able to be ported and included in an EVO rom? I mean we have this HDMI out that basically does nothing and this would be PERFECT. So how hard would it be? Would a bounty help push for development? I know I would pay to be able to use my EVO as a portable computer.

That's a interesting topic but like the post above said it should be in Q&A and believe it or no there is developers checking those forums, I seen Calk posting in General and he is a developer and some others as well.

You're welcome. I posted that for you because I figured you couldn't differentiate between questions and technical discussion.
Also, explain how this "straddles the fence" of being part of a ROM. I must have missed the part where you started porting this and writing code. My mistake.
No. You wouldn't. As great as software can be it can't make non-existent connections on the PCB board to appear out of no where.

There's room in the car, just throw the tire from the Toyota in the back seat.
But for the most part, no. Things like the launcher or moto apps most likely rely on frameworks only present in a rom built for the Atrix. You can't just rip frameworks from a totally different device, and slap it in another device and expect it to work.

Where have all the Miui's gone?

I just moved from my Miui running HTC HD2 to the T-Mobile S2 and I really like the phone but where are the Miui ROMs? Langthang had an awesome one for the HD2 and there was a couple of others that had a large following.
Am I missing something? ;-)
Thanks,
Kevin
This phone is still relatively new.
Gotta give it time.
More support couldn't hurt though.
But yeah give it time.
Yeah, Like he said. Give it more time. If you don't wanna wait hop on the galaxy nexus bro. More deb's over there. I just really hope when G4x is out there is a lot more dev on that device.

I think you bought a 8 pack of crayons and it was missing all the bright ones...(this is the android development section...i think maybe because your asking a question you should have put in the Q & A section)
For one dude we have to use a little brain stimulation here so bare with me, how old is the hd2? ok been out for a hot min right? ok and how old is the gs2? yea not been out so long. ding ding ding i think we have the answer.

lol so true.
I have my share of trolling people for posting repetitive questions and in the wrong section, but sometimes people really don't know what to do or where to go. Each device's subforum are setup differently. Usually these threads should be replied once or twice at most and the thread can be moved or die out. However, we're in no position to talk down on anyone. We're all people behind these words. It can be a kid, an adult, someone's grandparents, who knows. But condescending words can totally ruin someone's mood and day and that will be reflected upon.
Wow.

Why do you hate that guy? You don't even know him. I agree with what he is trying to say, just not the manner in which it was stated. The op has obviously been around xda long enough to know about miui, he should know where questions belong. There is a reason there are different sub boards. There is no sense in filling the development section with ridiculous questions. A little research goes a long way. If he wanted a miui rom he should of checked the dev board before purchasing the device. Since he didn't, he should have read a little and would have noticed that cm and miui is lacking on our device...
Sent from the .:: DARKSIDE ::.
Agree with jdubb a 100 pct. Phones like the hd2 have been out for a long time and we all know of about its huge dev support. Our phones are relatively new and people just gotta be patient. Straight up. If not, sell your phone and go get a Galaxy Nexus.

Reported - wrong forum.....bunched panties.
The op might have posted in the wrong section but the post is helpful in reminding DEV's that there is still interest in the ROM. From what I was reading on XDA and other sites was that MIUI for the TMO SGS2 should have come out around Xmas.
The delay as I understand it is due to lack of Cyanogen support, which is another ROM most of us are waiting to try and as far as I know the development of that has been halted until V9 is available.
Yes, I donate!

I agree with mainmast on this one, and I think he answered the question and the root cause of the problem quite succinctly. If his was the first response to the OP, we probably wouldn't be having this discussion. This type of quick question in the dev forum can indicate a certain level of interest in the port. I come here looking for ROMs, and I have a specific interest in MIUI, as I love to use that on my Nexus One. Admittedly, I don't frequent the Q&A section as much as this forum, but I still want to know about the progress on a MIUI rom.
Not to add to an out of place post, but we can agree that the post from our military friend (thanks for your service, btw) was pretty strongly worded. Subsequently, the additional comments (including mine) have just added to the legitimacy of this question... we're all invested enough in the question or the forum to respond.
There is interest in an MIUI ROM???

Hey the Nexus One had sense roms.. and they was every day friendly..
But i agree with what other users have said and i say it all the time.. What do you people be thinking about when you buy phones?
If i like Sense ima buy a sense phone.. but if i cant live without my AOSP than im going to stay on a AOSP phone. or buy both..
i say always check a phone "hackabillty" before buying it.. i always wait a few weeks or so before buying a new hot product..
I don't get why people even post on a thread if all they're gonna do is complain, call others assholes or "bright crayons". If you DONT like it, DONT post. Others might be up for a port, just because you aren't you shouldn't feel the need to be rude about it.
Although I might add also that you should have searched the rest of the generals page b4 posting, there should be about 3-4 other threads about this
When there's a developer who is ready to try the port, he will; we won't need to ask for it. There have been attempts already (for both Touchwiz and Sense) but there are problems.
Check the CDMA section of the GNex on Rootswiki and youll know what Im talking about
Seriously if you don't want Sense on your phone ignore the thread, some of us have never owned an HTC Phone and wish to try out Sense, no reason to be assholes over our curiosity.
I loved sense on my Incredible 2. Sure it wasn't as good as aosp in many ways, but I always kept a sense 3.5 backup on my SD card.

If the thread is a repost than by all means point them towards the original one and report it so we can clean it up. But, flaming someone for talking about porting a ROM is completely out of line. It doesn't matter if they want to port the software from a speak & spell, either contribute something to the conversation or keep your thoughts to yourself.

|>>PETITION<<| Restore task650's 'Recognized Developer' Status

So I've decided to start this thread because I've noticed something that I want to try and get changed for the better of this community and to help a person that I think deserves it.
What I'm trying to acomplish here is to start a petition that could potentially get him his status back. He deserves it in my opinion. And for the most part, I think you guys might too. So just place your vote in the pole and try and concentrate on all the work he produces for use and his attitude NOW. Please don't hold on to those grudges if you have any. Thanks.
I just noticed that one of are very Recognized Developers here on XDA (Task650) has recently lost his "Recognized Developer" status. So I decided to take it upon myself to find out why. Task650 explained to me that he recently flew off the handle and went on a "noob hunting spree" as he stated. He openly admitted to me that he was wrong for doing so and mentioned that he felt bad about it. Then went on to tell me that he has just forgotten about it and moved on with doing his best to better the SGS3 Forums and XDA as a whole. It was pretty cool to hear.
I know that he has been dealing with some pretty hardcore emotional issues with his 6 year old little girl having cancer. I can understand that sometimes we go through things in life that are that horrible, and we as human beings can act out in certain places that we normally would not. It's just something that happens and we move on from it. I can see that that's exactly what he has done. His attitude around these forums is back on track with what I've known from him and I only see him contributing and helping everyone out here on XDA as much as he possibly can. I don't think I've ever seen anyone here spend so much time updating his roms, submitting patches, and responding to others in such a helpful manner like I've seen him do. Now that's the exact type of person I believe deserves a "Recognized Developer" status. Hopefully the majority of you will agree whether or not you hold a grudge against him. I know he doesn't hold a grudge against any of you.
I DO NOT WANT ANY TROLLING OR FLAMING IN THIS THREAD! IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING CONSTRUCTIVE TO SAY. DON'T POST HERE! YOU WILL BE REPORTED IMMEDIATELY IF YOU DO!!!
Freaking out every once in a while doesn't make him less a developer or take away his skill and generosity of time and effort.

I agree with everything you just said.

Everyone goes through tough times and it shows that by owning up to what happened and why and accepting resposibility, then moving on to make things better overall shows he deserves the status back.
I fuxx wit the boiii!!!!! He got dat "celebrity status" roun here...
Cuttn up the bud on my SAMSUNG GALAXY S3.... #KeepIt1Hunid
I agree. He's a fantastic developer, puts out a very high quality ROM; and frankly, if he comes off a bit harsh... its probably something you should have googled. I've learned a ton, just from lurking his thread and asking the occasional question. Development software is essentially beta/testing software, so if you're going to run it... learn.
I flashed half a dozen ROMs to this device before I tried theirs, and now my only flash is for the latest update, which is routinely put out more frequently than any other aosp ROM I've seen.
Task is involved, interested, and more proactive than any paid developer I've ever known, on any platform... and he does gorgeous work for free. Its impossible not to recognize him as a developer, no matter what his title in the forum is.
Edit: didn't know about his kid either.... now I like the guy even more.
Sent from my s3, rockin' AOKP by Task and Ktoonsez
+1. I just started flashing a month ago and Task 14 was my first rom. Great dev, great support, just a reasonable straight up dude. Thanks Task...you deserve it, for simply releasing quality work! Past is the past, simple as that

I've seen plenty of other developers on XDA and other forums get fed up when people don't search or decide to get an attitude because something isn't working for them or they don't get the response they wanted. Some have even left XDA because of stuff like this. Totally unnecessary. Imagine what this world would be like without Task. Very, very dark. He's only human, most of us wouldn't have half the restraint he does.
Hopefully he'd just start his own site and carry on. We need him more than he needs us.... he's just sharing something great he did for his own satisfaction.
The guy that made my HTC merge bearable till my uscc contract was up did just that.
+1 Task makes the best ROM I've ever used on 5 devices. Amazing guy.

Task is human.... OK, maybe superhuman, but we all get tired of out of control noobs wallowing in their laziness and/or ineptitude on these forums, asking the same old questions and not reading the OP. I myself am a noob around here, but developers, mods, and fellow xda-ers who chastise those who fail to follow forum rules have helped me realize it's better to do my own homework. I've seen Task's etiquette improve since the incident on the SGS3 AOKP thread, so it's safe to say he is truly sorry and deserves to have his "recognized developer"status reinstated.
And BTW, unicorns dream of Task's ROMs!

lol wasnt there a "BAN Task" thread to? Good ROMs, quick updates.
I'm 100% with Task.
He could overreact a little bit once but there are some users that push it hard. Push it really hard!!!

Eh who cares what title sits under his name. We all recognize him as a good developer and that's all that really matters.

yeah i think i remember something like that. it was kinda funny considering everyone ended up voted that the OP of that thread get banned. lmao.
is there any particular reason you decided to vote NO?
Part of the rules and he broke them, I think he will get his status back in due time. Good Luck

ok so i work hard too and we might get 1000 noobs in our thread too, you don't see me or anyone of us freaking out. im sorry but yeah things happen in life and mistakes are made, it doesn't mean you dictate what xda will do or will not do. im not against humanity or wheel of life, but if you are short tempered then let the mods do the job, you don't freak out bluntly on a thread like that. Im with what xda decides best. If you really care for him then help him with his work make his life easier, learn things that are done, fix things that can be fixed by yourself and if its a last resort you can raise a question and then if you get freaked out upon then im sorry that dev is either short tempered or life is not being right with him/her, but then again if life is not being right then don't create a UFC in xda cause it'll just splatter blood everywhere and it just doesn't make sense then to do anything. Ive made mistakes too here and yeah i'll admit i was infracted 5 times and yet i learned from those infractions and i learned to control my temper and learn from mistakes and move on. Xda did what they did for a reason and let them decide what they did is right for community and for everyone's well being, if he doesn't have a title of "recognized developer it won't stop him from doing his work. Also for cluttering threads to create a petition doesn't make anyone better, if you wanna voice your opinion then message the mods directly and if mods don't respond then go step above mods to senior mods and so forth. Also if you're planning to bash me because what i said isn't something what you wanna hear or look at then please don't bother because it won't change me, im gonna do my work, and i'll be here at xda everyday and i'll still be living. just my 2 cents.

SIII or Optimus G

Hey guys,
It's finally time to upgrade my old Galaxy S1 Epic (please don't laugh lol), I was planning on waiting for news on the new S4 but nothing solid has come out and my Epic was royally messed up from a game of football.....Note to self - don't play football with a phone in your pocket.
I know I'll probably get some bias comments since I'm posting this in the Samsung forums but I'm hoping for some logic as well. I know in terms of technology, the S3 is on the verge of being out of date. The Optimus G (on paper) looks to be an amazing phone but I know that LG's track record on updates as well as community development has always been lacking.
Would you guys get a S3 this late in the game or the Optimus G and hope for the best in terms of support/development? I can't afford to buy the phone outright so I'll be locked into a 2 year contract with Sprint and will be stuck with this phone for the next 2 years. I played with both phones at the store and they're both pretty cool, but I'll admit that when it comes to phones I am kind of a noob and would rather get honest opinions from people who have the phones and might know more about the future hurdles of it.
oh, the S3 is at Amazon Wireless right now for $50 and the LG Optimus is $99....both great deals imo! So I'm going to need to make a decision soon before the sale is over.
Thanks in advanced!
Ill just say this i will never buy an lg phone. This s3 is an amazing device and i have zero complaints about anything regarding this and i have had this since early june.

lame.. why not just don't post or answer his question even if it isn't suppose to be here..
anyways.. I'd vote for the SG3, mostly just because Samsung will at least try to stay up to date.. While LG always seems to fail in the category..
2 things, battery and sdcard
Thanks eveyone! I posted in the other post as well and got an answer there too. I'm going to go with the S3, even though the hardware is older than the Optimus G, I know that the development community behind it is amazeballs. I had the Epic 4G for awhile but since there were great development groups behind it, I was able to happily use the phone for a long time without complaints. I just can't take that gamble with the LG phone....looks great on paper but I don't want to be stuck with stock for 2 years,
I just got off the phone with Bestbuy and they said they'll price match Amazon Wireless so I'm going to pick one up for $50. Woot!

Answer was sent to OP via PM. However, We still gotta play by the rules either way we go. Overall, choice is going to be down to OP to figure out what they would like to do. So, my opinion may not matter..
I said S3 either way. I agree with post above me, non removable battery and lack of SD expansion is HUGE turn off.
I just don't like lg
Also s3 has the 48gb from drop box
I also like having the option of having Odin fix stuff if they go horribly wrong
Also s3 has a super solid dev community
Idk about the optimus g

This is a valid question - on the one hand, it isn't a big deal to handle the occasional misplaced thread... but on the other hand, just answering the question does nothing to help the OP to ensure that he doesn't make the same mistake twice (which will, in turn, make misplaced threads less occasional and more of a problem)
The important part is for all of us to be careful not to attack each other, or to react to such a reminder as if we're being attacked - if we wanted to start a multi-page argument, it would be more effective to bring up debatable matters of opinion than known facts such as forum rules
