Blackyv Turbocharged April 18, 2014 Share April 18, 2014 My Note 2 is very laggy after the OS upgrade. This lag issue seems to be a common problem in android phones. Its samsung problem... Samsung is famous with loading is phone with tonnes of bloatware . You want fast android, get the vanilla one like nexus series.. Sometimes, I felt my backup nexus4 is faster than htc one... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackyv Turbocharged April 18, 2014 Share April 18, 2014 Never liked Nokia in the past also. Didn't find them more user friendly as many claimed it to be. I find Siemens and SE more user friendly instead. At least, no need to restart phone when changing language. I still cannot understand why Nokia until now still does not allow you to change system language without powering down even for their current smartphones. Luckily, their Windows keyboard language can be set on the fly without powering down. Otherwise, I can't compose a mixed text without restarting..... The reason I switched to Nokia is Lumia Windows phone for its HERE worldwide GPS navigation and superb stability of Windows phone. Plus, it's a underdog phone now. I do have plan to try Window phone next....And I might get it from htc (if they still built Window phone then) instead of Nokia... With Nokia dominated Window phone market, I don't like... Hehehe... But have to admit their latest phone are quite impressive especially the camera side... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangadrool Supersonic April 18, 2014 Share April 18, 2014 depends on OS I guess. I had Omnia W on Windows 7.8, superb stability from day 1 until it suddenly died off due to screen failure. Phone can still function sans screen. I do agree that the hardware components are not as good than Japanese.

Yah, .. But price is not my main consideration in buying phone..., so, xiaomi is out.. And agree samsung phone cannot last... So many years of using hp, I've only been to service center once and it was for a fried motherboard s3, 7mths old... And my htc desire is still working fine up to today with the original battery... Talk about build quality, I have good experience with htc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahseng 5th Gear April 18, 2014 Share April 18, 2014 HTC good la, just the camera sucks. if that's a non issue, it's perfect. For me at least. I'd go nokia if they went full force andriod. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonknapp Clutched April 18, 2014 Share April 18, 2014 Im using the HTC M7 and everybody that sees my photos and selfie shots all comment that the pics all look fantastic. It may be only 4Mp but honestly its enough for phone and FB usage. Its even easy to whatsapp as the file sizes are much smaller than the 13mp of the s4. The low light capabilities blow even my GFs Note 3 out of the water. Once out of contract im going to try the M8 for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kar_lover Supercharged April 19, 2014 Author Share April 19, 2014 Thats why Sam phone cannot keep too long... nice phone, but max 1 plus year need to change, else tai chi lai liao.... I do hard reset (factory reset) every 6 mths to "detox" the phone. After the reset, become very fast. Tip: try not to upgrade the software. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptcaca 2nd Gear April 19, 2014 Share April 19, 2014 That everybody doesn't include me, i have never owned a Nokia before.... Never like to join the crowd... Just like I will never buy an iPhone... I'm an underdog supporter.... Hehehe... Haha, me too. never own Nokia and Iphone before, all underdog brand like HTC, Huawei, Asus, Redmi, sonyericson. I will get Iphone 6 when my contract expired. But will sell away immediately to cash in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangadrool Supersonic April 20, 2014 Share April 20, 2014 (edited) This is a big phalet. Battery life is good according to many. Great choice for phalets. I just bought the Lumia 1520 on Tuesday. looking forward to windows phone 8.1 :) With Korean's phone, you always need a standby 'cos hardware problem can suddenly arise. My Omnia W died suddenly without any warning. Luckily, I bought a Lumia to standby 2 weeks before it conks. i had HTC sensation n it was crap. now using galaxy s4, was also retarded until the kit kat update. so far so good. wont bother w getting a new phone for a while Edited April 20, 2014 by Kangadrool Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The functions were mainly cater to 20 something. Until HTC one came out last year, 4G was fast. But the 32 gb storage is like a joke. But there is a HTC app that is very useful for me, one remote for TV, sound bar, Mio TV/starhub, can even scroll for TV guide using phone. HTC on disappointment is there is no DLNA so cannot show picture on TV directly. I think HTC M8 should suit me. Hope it's DLNA and the TV app ready.

Luv_presea 1st Gear April 21, 2014 Share April 21, 2014 (edited) Im using HTC butterfly s currently. And after upgrading the firmware from 4.3 to 4.4, the external sd card memory becomes read only. Meaning u can't delete, edit rename or modify the files on ur external sd card using ur phone. To delete files u need to use a computer. Not sure if it's the same for other phones like Samsung, Sony etc but this is a point to take note of. Regarding the camera, yes the resolution sucks at only 4mp so detail is not there. But if u don't pixel peed, its good. But the camera really shines in low light conditions. But the main reason I got this phone is the front facing speakers. Great if u like to watch videos on ur phone. Edited April 21, 2014 by Luv_presea ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
