Honest Opinion Guys

Sold my nexus s not too long ago.
After that i have owned a G2X, HTC Sensation, and an HTC amaze.
Once u go amoled, using LCD is painful.
So my question is, would you pick the tmobile galaxy s 2 over the one s?
i am leaning toward the s2(white, screen size, samsung, removable battery/sd), but what about the phone annoys you?, and what can you tell me about the phone that i wont know until i use the phone?
thanks

The one s uses amoled as well.... Except it's a qHD super amoled. I would still go with gs2 because of expandable memory and removable battery. Tmobile is getting the gnote soon as well.. Tough decisions my friend
The main issue in the phone is the screen issues I.e. dark blob spots and screen burns pretty easily you can really only notice the blobs when the screen blacks out and the backlight is on, other than that the phone is friggin bad ass. The only reason I would get the one s would strictly befor the camera. It's prolly thebest camera that's out for any smart phone. Amazing is one word I could describe it. Especially since it records 1080 p video with 60 Fps and ours does 30 Fps

the problem with the g2x, sensation and amaze is that they started using cheap LCD screens that sucked when viewing from angles. The previous phones with LCD wasn't bad though.
Anyways if i was you, I would wait for the prices to drop just a bit more if you decide to go with the gs2. The one S,X should gain popularity soon and the s3 is nearing.

At least if the one X comes out on tmobile it wont be a blocked boot loader like the at&t HtC one X. Which I think is ridiculous. If the one s had at least super amoled hd and sd card slot. I would of jump shipped.

Yeah I'd probably jump ship to the one s but the no external memory is a deal breaker for me

No i would say htc phones have the most support on t-mobile. Look at the sensation, Htc G2 even mytouch 4g. Since hardware doesn't change much. Samsung phones on the other hand less support due to different hardware. So as long as you stick to an htc phone you will be fine on t-mobile.

OK, but does the support compensate for better experiences than Samsung roms developed by people?

wait what? you do realize that htc devices usually gain a swarm of developers right

gs2 is my favorite phone so far after having t-mobile mda, touch pro 2, galaxy intercept, and htc hd7. one of my job responsibilities is hooking up phones to the exchange server so i get to play with lots of phones from different companies/manufacturers. the only thing i've seen that i'd currently take over my gs2 is the galaxy note but good luck with t-mobile getting that anytime soon.

If you care about removable storage and battery no contest S2, or wait for the S3 sometime in June if Samsung sticks to their word. If you want a better resolution screen and faster phone with a tiny bit smaller form factor go with the One S.
Only thing that annoyed me with the S2 hardware wise was the lower resolution screen and the blobs and streaks (edit: and that damn chrome around the phone, scratches before you even hold the phone) aside from that great phone and is now getting some great dev support. HTC One S just released so it may take a bit for support to come, but there is already a working AOKP ROM for it so I'm sure it won't be much longer til support kicks off for it. Either way you're getting a great device

I never really thought about it but this made me think...what about the S II do I not like? I couldn't think of one thing! Its just awesome! My wife has the G2X...its been warranty replaced 4 times in a year. Twice touch screen stopped working, the other 2 beacause of the overheating issues. With the last update they just released for it nothing's really gotten better. Her battery still only lasts at the most 4 hours with moderate use.
I guess this wasn't really your question I just had to vent. Galaxy S II in my opnion is the way to go.

Hi guys, I was thinking about to get this version of GS-II (t989), but i´ve heard so many bad things from the owners that I don´t know what to do anymore... So if anyone could help me on this, answearing these couple of questions, I´d very thankfull.
1) Is this screen issue that big deal?? does it happens only with T989 version or the others GSII were affected also?? Is there anything I could do test the screen before buying one (like putting a fully black, gray, white pics on display...)?
2) How is the audio quality on it? Are you guys satisfied?
3) About the camera, that is something I REALLY care on smartphone, I´ve heard it´s a bit different (some people would describe it a bit "worse") from the international GSII- 9100, due its Exynos chipset. However, judging by the samples i´ve seen, the only difference i could notice is that the colors tend to be yellowish on t989 -as the opposite, bluish from 9100. But how about the rest, focusing, details... are they exactly the same??
Thank you guys!!
PS: I´m coming from an Xperia Neo, and I don´t like its camera that much and the audio quality as well.

Too late to buy this?

I'm considering buying the Nexus now that it is 400 dollars but I'm not sure if I should wait for the next best phone. Suggestions?
Edit: I'm concerned that I will get a phone that has banding issues/purple tint. I've read a ton of threads about this issue and it is concerning.

A lot of us here will tell you that the next best phone won't happen until the next nexus and none of us know when that'll be as there hasn't been any formal announcement.
I've got my galaxy nexus a little less than a month ago and I have no regrets.

You could pretty safely buy this for $399 and hold onto it for the next Nexus. The resale price won't be much lower. Or just hold onto the GNex why not.

Got my nexus 4 days ago, and I'm really glad i chose this phone. Haven't experienced any lag yet, and I have been running the most heavy 3D games available for android.. so you should definitely not be concerned about performance.
It's also easy to root, there's lots of development going on, it has a big super amoled hd display etc.. this phone will also be getting android jellybean when it's released.
Yes, there is several phones getting higher scores than the nexus in benchmarks, but performance-wise, there's actually not many areas where this phone could be improved. I don't really see the need of quad-core cpu's yet.
So, yea... I totally recommend you this phone!
edit: If camera is one of the most important things you're looking for in a smartphone, this phone's probably not for you... personally I take like 2-10 pictures a week .. so I really don't care about the cam..

It really depends on what you use the phone for. Do you watch movies more than you take pictures? Do you use the speaker to listen to music? That's just two of many factors you have to look at. Do you root and flash roms? Overall this phone is a good device should you over for some time. I for one get tired of phones and have to change every 5-6 months. I love the gnex but I think the camera and speaker volume could be better.

The speaker problem can be fixed with apps like Volume+, after installed it my speaker is quite loud. But the camera is really a concern.
I recommend this phone for almost everyone, the only exception is if you really need a good camera on the phone. This camera is average at best.
That said, I would buy this phone again today. The One X is really a temptation, but I know that being an Android geek that loves updated software I would regret to buy a not Nexus device. Did this 2 times and it was a pain in the ass, now I just buy phones from the Nexus line.

I am kind of in the same boat, lol. I just got the HTC One S, tho. I would like to switch to verizon for coverage reasons, but there seem to be issues with the 4G/3G connections. I played with one at the verizon store by my apartment, and it had a lot of issues. And I have read about the problems with data dropping, which it seemed to be doing at the store. I also love the loudness and clarity of the speaker on my one s. The one s camera has some fun things to it, tho. However I generally turn the pixel size down to under 5M anyway. Good luck with your decision. Maybe I will get the HSPA+ one and sell whichever one I don't like later.

I think I would miss having the MicroSD slot (even though I don't really use it). I don't have LTE in my area so that isn't really an issue for me. I'm slightly nervous about the display. I've read a lot about the banding issue that a lot of people have as well as the purple tint that others have. The prospect of fast updates sounds good (still waiting for ICS for my skyrocket...) but I'm not sure how much I really want the nexus.

The next best android phone comes out way too frequently. I personally wouldn't use this as a deciding factor. Do you like the gnex or not? Does it have features that will satisfy you? Does it have the community support that you want or need?

Just got my Sprint Nexus on Sunday and so far I'm psyched about it. I wanted a sexy looking device along with performance and the SG3/EVO LTE didn't have the look factor I wanted. I can sacrifice .2 ghz of a processor and don't find the camera all that bad on the Nexus. Plus Sprint was giving me 70 bucks for my Evo and 50 bucks through Google Wallet. So technically, after all is said and done, I'd pay $70 for the Nexus.

Sold my HTC inspire for $250 Bought my Nexus for 200 I made 50 bucks

honastly you cannot go wrong with this phone, I love the freedom that it has provided to me with being a pentaband phone. You will always be waiting for the next best phone. Unless your looking forward to all the graphicly intense games in the pipline for tegra 3.
But if your a normal user IE social networking, email, music streaming, and casual gaming. This phone should not disappoint, look at it this way.
if your picking this up now, for cheap I can only imagine what next years nexus will be priced at around this time next year.

Will try that soon. I have been reading up on how to root/unlock this phone. Came from the revolution and got this phone as a replacement after 4 revos.

A nexus always has the latest OS and the Galaxy Nexus has few bugs... You really can't beat this device. The HTC One X is a bit better, but it will always be on par or behind on upgrades. So, if you upgrade every year, sure wait.... If you upgrade every 2, then go with Nexus, it'll take longer for it to feel like an old device due to quicker software updates.

I bought mine a week ago. No regrets. I spent a year on Windows Phone and couldn't have asked for a better way to cone back to Android.
I'd heard some complaints about they camera, but mine is very good. I do have the international version. No blurriness or off colors.
The phone is fast. Nothing else to say about it. No lagging or stuttering, fast app switching, beautiful screen. I noticed pixels on the Galaxy S Pentile display, but this one is beautiful.
Oh yea, I've left the phone stock. I'm sure I'll mod it in the future, but right now I haven't found a reason to. It runs exactly how I want it to.
I say buy the phone.

noted for future reference on my Note 2

it has a smaller battery than the GS3 but it has a bigger 1080p screen so yeah good luck with the battery

Hahaha! Yea I was thinking it has a higher resolution but yet the battery is weaker than that of the GS3. So either you carry a charger with you all day or have a set of battery extension because its going to drain fast during usage.
Now I wouldn't think about trading my Note 2 for the DNA one bit because both phones pretty much have the same specs. The Note 2 at 720p is already rich in screen resolution. You'll have to stare at it from about half an inch away from the screen to notice the pixels. I'm pretty sure you'll see less pixels on the DNA while staring at the screen from the same distance, but who'll want to do that?. With the Note 2 you can also record videos and take pictures at the same time like the how the HTC always advertise on their phones. Nothing new about that. Now the only down side I see on the DNA is no stylus (many people who hates holding a pencil, let alone writing their name would not care for it at all), no expansion slot (I cannot rely on cloud storage as an alternative), the battery is weak and non-removable (so unlike the Note 2 it is not meant for heavy usage), and finally it's from Verizon (the carrier whom loves to brand the **** out of their phones).
But I don't like to tell people what to get. If any phone they find that suits them, then great and good luck with their new devices. We all win. :good:
EDIT: Forgot to mention that with LTE the DNA will suffer even more on its battery.

Lol im surprised at how everybody like shot the droid dna out of clouds ...so it seemz that gn2 is still the god of phones!!! Or has HTC started losing their over all appeal because of the recent designs and bad moves they made (locked bootloaders/failure to see their batteries are basically dead paperweights/ etc)...idk what is your opinions...cuz those were tge reason I avoided the one x and grew sick of the one s

The only thing arguably better would be the display / resolution. Other than that, Note 2 owns all the way. At this point in time, I don't really care much for 1080p. For my next phone in about a year or two, thats a different story.

a less than 16gb for screen 1080p phone, pass...

I checked out the Note2 again tonight this time only for about 15 min when I stopped by Best Buy & immediately felt like this is such a real huge upgrade from my EVO 4G that I must have it soon. Then I started noticing the whites weren't as white as my EVO & it could be brighter (set to max) & even experienced some lag but I did not have time to do a reboot.
I am curious to see the DDNA, 1080p natural color screen with amazing cameras like the OneX & improved speaker etc but obviously annoyed with battery & sdcard situtation (not a huge fan of all the red styling either but would slap a case on it) yet I will have to check it out. I think the OneX variants are the best "smartphone" display & camera & at 5" DDNA should be impressive (always thought 5" is a great size but the N2 managed its 5.55" amazingly as well & the stylus puts it in its own class).
So do the non-white whites & brightness of the screen around sunlight on the N2 ever bother anyone?

I will admit that the 440ppi and handling of colors is a huge notch against the n2.. the droid however is it a dealbreaker for me...No...does it hurt people who are truly craving that 1080p display and higher color reproduction...it might...Htc decisions to do certain designs and moves on there devices seem to be pushing people away already from what it seems...as well as the fact the series of their devices theyve released is starting to flow the "Apple way"..thats just coming from me though

[Q] How is your Nexus holding up?

I should be selling my iPhone tomorrow (coming back from the dark side) and I plan on buying a used Galaxy Nexus because it seems to have tons of support and decent specs for the money I'm willing to spend. And I went completely crazy without an Android device and grew to hate my iPhone after switching from an S2. I just miss flashing ROMs every half hour.
Anyway, I just wanna know how it's holding up for everyone else. Is it becoming outdated yet? Losing support? Does it wear out quickly (dead pixels, broken buttons, etc.)? Or do people still love it as their daily driver?
Just curious because it's pretty much this or the S2. So please, let me know.

Haha. Thanks. And I get your point. But you have to keep in mind that I'm a 16 year old with no contract. Lol. I just cant afford the latest and greatest, so while I keep up with smartphones (technology in general), I have to settle for ports instead the phones themselves.
Although I was considering the EVO 4G LTE (more muscle), but I figured I'd settle for the support and looks of the Nexus just because i think I'd be more satisfied.
But thanks to everyone! Looks like I'm getting the Nexus. Lol.

It's a good phone. Go for it

Akku: 6days 2h 44mins :thumbup:
Photo soon. I am so happy with my Nexus

Jumping to LG G2

yes yes i know its not a nexus, it wont get the latest updates and that some say lg sucks. but the phone is pretty darn good , what do you guys think ? worthy upgrade ? im getting it tomorrow evening.

If you ordered it already it's useless for us to tell you if it's a good deal or not. You'll answer that yourself in a matter of days/weeks.
It would be nice if you'd share with us your findings, though.
Enjoy your new phone!

Worthy upgrade? Any flagship from this year is an upgrade from the GNex. On stock, it may not feel as smooth as a stock Nexus 4/5 though. Personally I don't like how the back looks like. Looks like extremely cheap frail plastic, but hey that's just looks in my eye.
I would say both Samsung and LG sucks in their own ways. LG makes horrible power buttons on the Nexus 4, Samsung for our phone has terrible everything, crappy screen, fault NAND for some, battery that goes to **** (random shut downs).

Just curious, what features do you like about the G2 that the Nexus 5 can't do?
I never liked the design of the G2. Like someone else said, the back looks ugly. And I never liked company branding on the front of the device. Verizon always does that. And I dont like custom company Android skins. I switched to T-Mobile and got myself a Nexus 5 and I love the crap out of it. lol

I'm considering the same upgrade. I was going to get a Nexus 5 until I saw the reviews of issues with it and a few YouTube comparisons of the two. Plus I'd have to switch carriers. Let us know of any issues with the G2 if you end up having any.

The g2 kills it over the nexus 5, if your worried about updates just flash cyanogenmod 11 on it.

I don't want to rely on CM11 to do a better job than LG. I'd stay with flagship nexus because it's a safe assurance that Ota will come unlike the abandoned Optimus series that was tragically killed by LG

"""manual focus for the camera""" <<one of the main reasons, 60 fps video recording,8+ hrs screen on time (battery life basically),13 mp camera,touch to wake (on stock),remote control ,dual camera recording-photos, etc

all the issues i know about the g2
1)camera is bad at night- it uses advanced noise reduction causing your photos to look like paintings (this was only at 1400 iso and above) , im a photpgraphy fan so i can jus tmanually set the iso lower than that and get excellent images ! i will post images once i get the device, ill help you don worry, this is a community and ill share almost everything i know about it

Branding isn't that bad though. At least on certain devices they look and feel almost identical when u hold it up the wrong or right way up (especially the Nexus 5) With branding, you can at least "see" your holding the phone upside down. After a while, you'll probably get used to the device after a while.
Not that I'm a fan of branding, but it at least has a purpose. US carrier branding usually looks bad though.

As for power button and touch to wake, the G2 is superior to the N5. N5 faces heavy battery drain (a few % an hour with it enabled). Seems like the panel used in the N5 is way different than the G2. If you need battery life, then the G2 is the right device for you haha. We all have different needs and preferences, this is the beauty of Android as we have choices.

enjoy your new phone dude! Nice choice :good:
PS: About Nexus 5... I had the chance to play with it for a while on a nearby shop...it felt so plastic and cheap, more like a toy than a real phone. For a sec I thought it was some kinda dummy phone but that wouldn't be possible since I was interacting with it. Gnex on my other hand seemed more like the real deal...even nexus 4... I don't know if you're getting me. Since I am a nexus fan, I would buy the damn thing (probably soon) but it is so light and plastic that it seems unreal

i got the g2 this afternoon <3 is so amazing ! lets see how it does after some usage

Yeap it feels extremely light to hold. But I have a 3.4k mAh battery replacement on my GNex, so yea haha. Any phone will feel super thin and light after using my fat and heavy phone for months.
As for plastic feel, the longer I held my friend's Nexus 5, I felt the build wasn't too bad and quite nice. Either way I'll use a case on the N5 if I get one. I never used any protection on the GNex but the N5 feels too dangerous to hold naked lul. And newer screens are worse at preventing cracks than older screens so I'll also probably get a screen protector on the N5 (but I hate screen protectors!)
