I've had many phones. None that I've kept for even a year. The one I've managed to keep the longest is the HTC EVO 4G.

I loved my Evo, but I love my Galaxy Note II even more

I recently got my Nexus 4

and i like it.
Before i had Nokia E75, Motorola Atrix and for backup an LG Optimus Logic.

I noticed that i am becoming a heavy app user since i collect so many apps on my phone, but there are so many nice apps. Last i got is an app to track satellites.

I get 2-2.5 days easily out of the MAXX.

galaxy nexus with cm10.1, stock kernel. Gets me anything from 2-4 days per charge. best phone I ever had, considering that my previous phone, a htc desire, needs to be charged daily.

iPhones are the best for phones because I've had a 4s for a couple years now, and it's just never crashed, AT ALL. However before this phone I had an HTC Incredible which crashed constantly. To me, a phone needs.... to run. You need to be able to um. You know. Receive phone calls?

Just got a Nexus 7 however and truly the tablet experience is superior on Android. Much more freedom and customization.

by a couple of years you mean less than 16 months as the phone released october 2011....and its january 2013.

Nexus 4. I go back and forth between Android and iPhones. I'm jealous of the iPhone 4S+ battery life/cameras though.

My wife (we share the phone if need be, but it's "her" phone) just got a razr maxx because it was 20 bucks on a 2 year contract from Dell. I suppose they're clearing house, and I don't mind old stock. I never use a cell anyways.

Contract from Dell?

keymaster · « **Reply #120 on:** Wed, 30 January 2013, 19:41:48 »

I've been using the same iPhone 3GS for almost 2 years now... It's significantly slower than all the current phones out. I'm most likely to upgrade to a ~$50 phone in March with a contract renewal. Android OS, here I come.

HTC Evo 3D with my own rom (Harmonia) and 32gig sdcard.

Harmonia 3.0
It's meant for the Evo V which is just an Evo 3d meant for Virgin Mobile, it's one of the more popular roms for the Evo V with tens of thousands of downloads. While it's stock based, at one time I was building CyanogenMod for several phones, but it's a hassle to do unless you do it all the time and I just couldn't.

I actually maintain a whole family of roms (12) for 5 different Virgin Mobile Android phones as well as a chat forum for them (Vmroms). Considering how many phones and roms I support, I'm probably the largest rom developer for Virgin Mobile, and in some cases, I'm the primary rom developer as all or nearly all of the roms for certain models are based on my work. Right now, I just build from stock or from a base CM rom provided to me by another developer who does it on a regular basis, but I am capable of it. Instead of building from source, I maintain a build server that is loaned out to other devs on my forum, it can remotely compile ICS roms in well under an hour and kernels in under 3 minutes, compared to the hours it takes most peoples computers.

The 920 is one sexy phone though.

you mean like backup all your apps that are on your phone?
Or you mean manages all the apps you've purchased?
Because google play store automatically does the 2nd.
and the 1st i use Titanium Backup. U gotta be rooted, and its worth paying the dev for the full version

This^ and I agree that it's totally worth buying the full version.
There is also Carbon, which doesn't have as many features as TB, but you don't need root to use it - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup

I do use Titanium backup but I heard about some Desktop App manager like itunes.

I just changed Roms, and I have to manually install all the apps on Titanium backup. Is it easier in the full version?

Any way you guys know of to save contacts? I lost all my contacts. It seems that I have none on my Sim, or not able to find it.

Oh, I am running Wicked ROM v6 for jb on my T-MoGs3

contacts should have synced with your google account
and if you buy the full version of Titanium Backup, you can do batch restores
thats what i use to restore my phone and android ID when i flash a new rom.
