My phone is the only thing I trust.

It facilitates everything. If the head phone jack was bigger I'd fuck it.

Lol^^^

A phone like that would sell out in the first week!

I'm on call this week, the on call phone is and Iphone 5 what a piece of crap compared to my One X.

Only thing good about the iPhone 5 is its made for one handed thumb texting while driving...

Good stuff.
Once your ready, root it, create a backup, install recovery and start with custom roms

Does rooting keep the features of the phone intact like internet pass through, tethering, hard drive mounting etc?

Yep, just about everything should be the same or very similar except for weird shit Samsung puts in it for its own reasons

 

[sjay]

So do the new phones run alot better rooted?

I have an HTC desire HD, dated but works fine for me, no lag and does everything I want. Will it be that much better after rootng?

What about flashing a new ROM/OS, same deal?

Battery life is better i am not sure if performance is any better, should be the same.

Rooting/flashing is the same thing, the biggest advantage of this is to allow you access to the ram and alter it on the fly.

 

[Grippy]

Yep everything is the same after rooting apart from you have root access.
Then yoi can flash a different ROM and that's where the fun starts and you get rid of all the crap Samsung and your carrier have on there.
Head over to XDA and read about it. It seems daunting but is straight forward enough. Just make sure you follow the steps and create backups and install custom recovery

Bit of a bump to this old thread.

Now you guys have had the phone for a while, are you still happy with it?
I am about ready for an upgrade (from S2) and thinking of getting the S4 after the price drop happens when the S5 comes out.

The plans all suck these days, wish could just keep the one I am on, $49 2g and enough calls to ring America and ask which way their toilets flush

I'm not. Prefer the iPhone

Took me about a month to get used to the change. (I started this thread).

Fucking love the Samsung now. Could never go back to an iPhone.

From the bigger screen size and functions, apps, synchronize with ease (no need for iTunes bullshit).

Have the pirate bay app on mine and can basically download any book, show, movie or song for free.

Only issues is a little big to one hand text while driving.....
