best bang for the buck right now (assuming i will have to replace it again) what would be your suggestion? i'm leaning toward a google nexus S since they seem to be relatively cheap and ready to receive JB?
preferably the phone would be able to work on either t-mo or att so i can jump between MVNO's if i need to and stable because he will invariably load it with apps.
Nexus S isn't a bad piece for the price. JB is a huge software improvement over ICS, so I'd say that is a plus.
Are you going to buy the phone on contract? Or are you looking to buy an unlocked or used phone off contract and do month to month service?
The Nokia Lumia 900 isn't a cheap bad phone, although it's a Windows phone. Not sure if that isn't "cool" enough for your son. Should be easy to find used even cheaper than a Nexus S.
Based on what your answer is for where you are buying the phone, I'll broaden my recommendations.

They are pretty nice. Bart is a big fan. The only downside with the Lumia 900 is that it's not going to receive updates past 7.5, which may be a deal breaker for some. Still, it's good hardware, snappy, has a nice screen, and generally gotten good reviews about performance. If apps are important, it doesn't have the selection that iOS and Android offer.
Off contract, a Galaxy Nexus should be pretty cheap. Regular Price is $350 directly from Google, and used prices are even lower. Battery life could be better, but overall it's a great phone and already has Jelly Bean. Really hard to beat for that price point.
If you go with an Android, I'd say go with a Nexus (S or Galaxy). The rest will be pricey, even used. The cheaper ones will have sub-par hardware.
You could always get him a cheap iPhone as well. People will be ditching them left and right in the next month. Should be able to get a cheap 4 for under $125 used by that point.

so i ended up snagging one of the Galaxy S2 deals for my kid from wally world and stuck him on the t-mo $30 prepaid which nets him unlimited txt messaging, 5 gigs of 4g data per month (then unlimited edge after that) and 100 talk minutes (not too worried about this because he doesn't talk that much plus he can hit us up on viber over 4g or wifi)
first things first - holy f'n shiz the damn t-mo 4g (3.5g) is fast in SWFL. i was routinely getting between 16 and 22mbps in speed tests on download. verizon 3g is its biatch.
now the fun stuff - ginger bread sux donkey ballz. I'm not real keen on slamming a JB rom on there for daily use at the moment but i have been looking at a couple of the ICS roms, particularly the jedi knight and clones / drones rom. nice and lightweight and still preserve all the features he will want in stable form.
since i've never rooted an android phone before i presume that i snag CWM and odin to root then once rooted, reset, wipe the phone, reset and install new rom, reset let a sit for a few mins then add his google accounts back in?

I had a GS2 with an ICS Rom and loved it. I'm on JB right now (not quite ready for prime time yet) and it's spectacular. CM10 should have RC1 out by the end of the month, I'd imagine.
As for your question, the GS2 on T-Mobile isn't the same as the one for AT&T. T-mobile's has a Snapdragon processor, while AT&T's has a Exynos (which kicks some serious butt IMHO). As you know, you will need to be careful to get ROM's that are approved for use on your T-Mobile GS2.
The procedure on my AT&T GS2 was to use ODIN to flash a rooted kernel, then flash a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP). From there, make a Nandroid backup, then flash new Phone-specific ROM's to your heart's content.
ICS is pretty nice, and a big jump up from GB. Should keep him tided over for a while.
Good luck.

Eh, take it back and tell them it screwed up during a software update.
In all honestly, it's really hard to eff up Samsung phones during the rooting/tweaking of ROM's process. You never really brick them, they are just "soft" bricked, since it has a download mode and can always restore it back to Stock via ODIN. It's one of the reasons I love Samsung phones.

Nokia Lumia 920 is by far the best ever made. The iPhone 5 will have to really step up to top it. When this contract expires I'm switching.

It's a great handset and has a stunning camera. I'm not a fan of the Metro UI/Windows 8, but if Nokia ever decided to broaden their horizons and make an comparable handset running Android, I'd definitely consider it.

Have a droid Charge. battery life is below average (used to it), but now - phone is ~1year old or so - some of the apps, and the phone in general are getting a little 'sticky'.
example words with friends takes a LONG time to open up, load up, etc. Is there something I can run to clean some of the crap out (if there's crap that's slowing it down). Or is there something I'm missing?
|
There are a couple of things you can try.
1. Download a cache cleaner (like Cache Cleaner + or 1 Tap Cleaner) and see what is taking up uneccesary memory.
2. Do you ever delete old text messages? If not, you can use 1 Tap Cleaner or SMS Backup & Restore to delete old text messges. If you'd like to back-up your texts, SMS Backup & Restore can back-up your old texts if you want, then cab delete texts older than _____ (your choice) to save room.
3. I don't usually recommend task killers, but if the above aren't really helping, you can try downloading one like Memory Booster - RAM Optimizer. It should show you how much RAM your system is using, and give you easy and quick options to free up running processes to help your phone run better.
Let me know if any of those work. If not, there may be an issue with how your phone is set-up.

Thanks. Just ran the cache cleaner. And it cleaned 44MB of space.
I reset my text messenger to delete texts when it's over 100 messages (keeps 100, deletes the rest in a thread). I've restarted my phone and it still hasn't updated (aka deleted) the old threads. Unsure how to actually get the threads deleted though...
Once that's done, I'll let you know.

Try using the small and free app Delete Old Messages. I've used it in the past with decent successs. It allows you to delete texts over a certain age. To keep only a certain number of your last texts requires the paid version. Still, it should help you out if you havent' cleared out your texts ever.

Might be a problematic app causing the issues.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zomut.watchdogliteInstall and it will warn you if there are apps acting up. If some pop up that you don't use often, uninstall them. If they are apps you want to keep, force close them when they act up and keep an eye on them.

Ok, if I want to upgrade after the holidays (Jan-13) from an original HTC Droid Incredible bought in May-10, is the new iphone 5 or the Samsung S phone (the two pics in the other thread) the better choice. Was waiting for more 4G LTE options to come out. I have Verizon service.

I gurantee there will be a couple of newer devices coming out before January. The iPhone 5 will be a big seller. Good thing for you, you'll have some time to hear the user reviews and see what people like/don't like about it before you have to make a decision to upgrade.
By January, the Galaxy S3 should also come standard with Jellybean (supposed to start rolling out to GS3 devices in October). The Galaxy S3 also does native simultaneous Voice + Data over 3G. The new iPhone (and most other phones on Verizon for that matter) do not. It's not that big of a deal, but it is a feature the GS3 has that may be attractive to some.
The iPhone and all other Verizon 4G LTE phones can do voice + data over LTE simultanously, assuming you are in a 4G city.
The Droid Razr HD Maxx is another great option on Verizon: huge battery, great high-def display, excellent hardware. The only thing I don't really like about it is the camera, which is always lacking with Motorola mobile devices.
It comes down to what you want to be able to do. If you have a lot of Android paid apps and accessories (chargers, docks, etc), then staying with Android may make more sense. I'm finding it hard to morally recommend Apple products these days, due to their business practices (see the plethora of lawsuits circulating), but fans of the iPhone love them and stand by them. As usual, it'll come down to your personal preference.

for the record, we are two different people...
also, I vowed I wouldn't jump on the next wp, especially if it were a nokia, just because I was annoyed the 900 will not upgrade to wp8 (supposedly there is a wp7.8 coming out). BUT this new 920 has my attention.

All the standard fb, twitter, linkedin, amazon, netflix (was on wp FIRST), shazam, angry birds 1, fruit ninja, etc are available. The list grows every day. How many people do you know that develop in the MS environment? They are all potential app writers.
apparently, one of the biggest requests people have on the wpcentral forums is the ability to capture screen shots. Why is this so important?

The apps will come when user base grows. Android started out with meager app selection, but now app selection is terrific. WP's problem will be user base. App developers have to commit funds to support updates, which in reality is probably easier to do that keeping up with all the Android variations out there. Still, comes down to the numbers. Hopefully WP improves over time. It really is a good Mobile OS.
As for screen captures, I use the feature quite a bit. The times where it is handy is capturing phone related information (Battery stats, software version info, IMEI number, etc). It's also handy to save images from an app you are running. For instance Instagram does not allow you to save pictures, but I'll screen capture and cropp the image to send it to someone else, if it's something notable.
You also see people do this a lot with text messages on iPhone, where people will take screen captures of a conversation and post it to FB (usually funny conversations).
It's a handy feature to have. Android didn't always have it and I had to use rooted apps to accomplish it. Now, it's a standard feature and a handy one to have at that.

Trying to determine between an S3 and the new iphone. How is the S3 on battery life and how is the camera?

Battery life depends on how you use it and your individual app settings. Battery life is great on the GS3 if you are sensible (ie not tons of widgets that update every 5 minutes and lots of apps that use push notifications).
The official Facebook app for Android isn't as well coded as the one for iOS and tends to be a battery drainer. Mark Zuckerberg has asked that his team use Android phones to help figure out what features need to be focused on with their complete overhaul to come soon.
Camera on the GS3 is fantastic. I haven't seen an iPhone 5 camera pictures yet, so I cannot compare them.
What phone do you have now? If you are already on one of the operating systems and have a good deal of paid apps already, it's probably easier to stay on

Thanks for the info. I have a HTC hero. Have had it for almost 2 yrs. It's on its last leg. I run juice defender and task killer to try to keep the memory free and the battery long. Not a ton of paid apps. I do have an Apple tv but never really use it. Wondering if I had an iPhone I would use it more, not really sure.Posted from Rivals Mobile

Ah, I had my Hero for over 2 years as well, when I finally traded up for a Galaxy S2 last year.
I don't think you'll be disappointed if you end up with either the GS3 or new iPhone. Both are solid. iPhone may seem a little more polished, GS3 may seem more utilitarian, so it's really up to you on what you want the phone to be able to do and what you're likely to use it for.

from the early Engadget review, RE battery life for the iphone 5
<i>- "On our standard battery rundown test, in which we loop a video with LTE and WiFi enabled and social accounts pinging at regular intervals, the iPhone 5 managed a hugely impressive 11 hours and 15 minutes."</i>

That's encouraging, and even more impressive considering the battery was supposedly the same size as the iPhone 4s. We'll know more of the story once the phone receives a full tear-down to expose the battery.

Whelp. Apple Maps sucks donkey balls unless I am not using it correctly. You can only zoom out so much while in navigation mode, you can't pan around on the map while navigating, slow to load in 3G and the search feature is lacking. The turn by turn is nice but Google Maps still blows it away.
iOS 6 as a whole added some nice features / improvements and is visually appealing though.Posted from wireless.rivals.com

Can you pan while you are in "navigation mode"? Meaning, while it is giving you turn-by-turn directions, can you zoom out to see upcoming roads or pan around to see what you are near? I can't that I know of.

Nokia street view uses your camera's viewfinder and overlays the live picture as you move your phone with business names, etc. Just sayin.
Bing maps toggles between driving and walking directions and that is a big deal if you are in, say, St. Augustine trying to get from the CAstillo St. Marco to Harry's Seafood. or in NYC trying to get from Times Square to the Empire State Bldg.

Google Maps does walking, driving, by bycicle and public transit directions and you can toggle between them live as well. For public transit can select Bus, Subway, train, tram/light rail, of course the options will depend on what city you are in.
As for the "augmented reality" thing, Layar has been doing that on Android since 2009, and iOS (a little later) as well. You can enable different layers, such as Wikipedia, Zagat, etc. I used it while we were in Savannah last year and it worked pretty well. I haven't used the Nokia street view, so I can't compare the two. I also haven't used Layar in a year, so I'm not sure what funcionality is left or what they've added.

Yes, it is very good. I was on CM10 w/ stock Jellybean keyboard for a few weeks and loved it. Flashed back to stock ICS on my GS3 because a good friend of mine just got one and asks me a lot of questions. It was easier to be using the same version of Android when he had questions.
For now, I'm using Swiftkey until the official JB Upgrade is released for the AT&T GS3.

I really like swiftkey, but I've had some minor issues with it freezing or not showing what I'm typing. I'm figuring the stock keyboard won't have those types of issues.

I need to spend some time with a WP7. I might try to pick one up on the cheap and try it out for a while. Lovely thing about sim cards is being able to swap 'em out. It'll make a good back-up phone as well, in case anything ever happens to mine.
A friend of mine had a WP7 when we went to Orlando, but his phone was screwing up and his battery was draining in a few hours and charger wasn't working properly. T-Mobile sent him a new one, but after the trip.

Desi, do you know if you can play podcasts on Droid phones, specifically the Samsung Galaxy S3? I'm eligible for upgrade in November and I'm strongly considering switching from from iPhone to the S3, but I like listening to podcasts on the way to work and I've got a TON of them that I want to keep listening to. It's not completely a deciding factor, but it would be nice to be able to listen to them still
Also, which ways do you consider the S3 better? I'm not extremely tech savvy when it comes to the phones, and the only comparisons I can find are mostly about tech specs that end up going over my head.

Yes, there are quite a few podcast apps for Android.
You can view the Google Play Store (formerly Android Market) on your computer to check out apps, even without having the phone. If you end up getting an Android phone, you can purchase and push apps to install to your phone from the site instantly as well.
https://play.google.com/appsAs far as comparing the GS3 to the iPhone 5 or 4s, it's really up to the individual user. A lot of the things the GS3 does very well, aren't things that non-techies would appreciate. I like not having to use iTunes to load music/files onto my phone, and being able to open/send/receive any files via e-mail or other sharing methods (Dropbox, Box.com, FTP Site).
The phone is noticeably bigger (wider, longer, slightly thicker) than an iPhone 5, so that could take some getting used to. That extra real estate is nice for watching movies, looking at pictures, reading documents, editing photos/documents, etc.

Going to get the wife an iPhone 4s. Simple and easy for her to use. All for her upgraded price of $99.
The wildcard for this is my phone isn't eligible for an upgrade until March. I don't like us on separate timelines, so I need to figure out how I can make this possible.
Lastly, my work is compatible with iPhone, not Droid. But I really am not interested in getting an iPhone. I've gotten used to how this works, and I don't want to go back to a smaller screen. Samsung Galaxy 3 will be the phone I get, just a question of when.

Some of my biggest pet peeves with an iPhone noted above. Now admittedly I have alleviated some of those issues by jailbreaking it but it's still not perfect. Attaching files is much more simple but download and edit is still a chore.
I hate iTunes with a passion, always have.
As far as extra real estate you should add gaming to the list as well! That was going to be one of my attractions to the iPhone 5 and incredibly there are very few games that are making use of the extra screen size. That 4" screen would be completely useless to me with friggin' black borders.

seriously, check out the
Nokia 920,
coming out soon. Better resolution, NFC, bigger battery (no usage
stats yet), will have better low light camera performance, plus
stability control. Screen is so sensitive you can control it with
gloves, so durable you can use a FORK as a stylus. Bigger screen,
wireless charging, Nokia Drive and Nokia Music for free.
