I want a new phone.

i dont know what one to buy, I currently own the galaxy note 3

I love the note 3, nearly everything im looking for in a phone, but I want cyanogenmod, and there isnt an easy way to install it from a ma yet.


I like the HTC ONE, but im afraid it may be too outdated maybe?

or maybe the oppo n1?

Nexus 5 has too short of battery life from what I read, same with moto X

please leave answers in the comment section below and vote in poll above?

thanks to all!

P.S. I have AT&T currently

With Franco Kernel, the nexus 5 has better battery life than any other phone I've had bar none. So don't worry about battery life if you don't mind flashing a kernel.

Thanks

Also no one can tell YOU what phone to buy for YOU. YOU have to compare specs, find out which features are important to you, what kind of UI if any you like, the reliability of the manufacturer, the construction of case, size of screen, camera capabilities...Why have someone tell you what kind of phone you will be stuck with for awhile?

No. No one can help you, we are on the nexus 5 forums due to being fans of nexus, so most of us will say nexus. You've already stated you're not interested in the nexus 5 due to a misconstrued idea about "poor battery life" so your in the wrong forum altogether.

I'm not the only one that feels this way, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2546258

This should have been your only post then...It could of simply been "I found this thread and maybe that will help your decision"
I am sorry for posting in thread but you have not read my PM. Now your campaign and complaints against the Nexus 5 stops here. I recommend you go to your carrier's website and post on the community there if you feel like you need to persuade others not to purchase that phone. 99% of the people reading your posts here already have the phone so your constant tirade of complaining posts only serve to annoy.
This is a development site made by developers for developers. Be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

i say keep note 3 and wait but nexus 5 battery is really good.
I feel being the only satisfied N5 owner around. I NEVER ran out of battery but I don't go through the day playing games or looking at videos, (some people have to work...)

If you already have a Note3, just keep it ! it's a very very desirable phone , like the N5 is for half the money.

quote. when nexus 5 was launched he has same issues like battery life, speacker volume but everything is solvable with roms!!

my battery life (with franco kernel) is awesome.. (2d and 17/18h)


nexus 5 is the best one for me in this moment.
