Avoided the Note's because of their size. I can understand using higher end equipment with a higher price point, it is after all a signature product. BUT, It will not comfortably fit in my pocket, I will have to two hand it all the time, it will stick out of my dash cubi, and sticking a...

My wife and I both went from Galaxy S4's to Nexus 5's. I love the N5, my wife hated it. I always liked the Vanilla launcher, by wife can not live without Touchwiz. She has probably installed every launcher in the play store to get back features she says she lost. I just installed 5, and its...

I have not noticed any battery improvement or performance improvement on my N5. The battery was fine, and the phone is really fast on KitKat. What I like is the phone call notification that does not close what you are working on, and simply offers a notification on the top portion of the...

I use a Spigen Slim Armor, and a Spigen Ultra Hybrid that are thin, and do not bulk up the device. I have not noticed any heating issues. The Hybrid allows me to place any photo on the back behind the clear cover. I change it often.

My kid, and my wife. That's it, there is nothing else.

I will be honest. Up to FI27 all of the ICS leaks have been battery killers. I have recently replaces EL29 with FI27, and I could not be happier. Just to make sure that I would get the best experience. I backed up all of my documents and photos, and formatted both internal and SD card memories...

I always return to EL29 for the battery. I want an ICS, or JB rom that does not consume 10% of the battery per hour while sitting face down on my desk. With EL29 yesterday my phone was on 15 1/2 hours, and still had 35% battery last night when I set it on the charger. With ICS, and JB I love...

Back to EL29. FH13 has the same horrible battery life as FF18, and still shuts off anytime it connects to my cars Bluetooth. Over that last couple of days it averages 8% to 9% battery use per hour while sitting on my desk face down doing nothing. If I turn off WiFi it will still use 7% per hour.

horrible battery life, just like ff18. Everything else runs fine. I saw no difference at all with ff18.

ICS: 9% of the battery per hour under lite use GB: 4% of the battery per hour under lite use. My daily routine is very repetitive. If I turn on WiFi then ICS jumps to 13% per hours. I actually went back to GB so that my phone would make it thru the work day. I will state that FF02 uses 4% to...

Pick me, Pick me

Re: Everyone still living there samsung galaxy s2? I got mine on the first day, and only decided to root it recently to try one of the ICS Roms. Killed the battery so I am back stock, and loving it. Other than than the battery issue a couple of weeks after release this phone has been solid...

I rooted the Epic 4G as quickly as possible to gain performance, and battery life. With the Epic 4G Touch I have not rooted since the performance is great, and battery life is a non issue. I run Launcher 360, or SPB 3D shell, which change the look of the entire UI. I am not a big fan of the...

Sammy says that the Galaxy S will not get ICS. The Nexus S will. I get the whole touchwiz on the GS, and the pure android on the NS. But are they not basically the same Hardware. Why not pure android on the GS? Could this be done using the NS OS to make a pure ICS ROM for the GS?
