You mean one I actually bought and owned for my self? Galaxy S II, then I had every other Android flagship form last year, and HTC One X this year-until I switched to the SGS III and have been using it for the last 6+ months now.

My current phone is my first smartphone. It's Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 running AOKP Jellybean Build 5. I really like it :)

Galaxy S. Bought it a good year ago, very happy with it.
Only thins I'm still kind of disappointed in is the huge clusterfuck that Android rooting is. Really so hard to understand and get into it, I just wanted to backup my phone and even that seemed like a daunting task.

Otherwise, very happy with it.

Totally agree with CasketMan, I happen to own a One series phone too - HTC One X and I can without a doubt say that this phone is the most under-rated one yet. To be honest, it's not HTC's fault, it's the fault of people in the world who can't see anything beyond a Samsung or Apple product.

My first smartphone was HTC Desire but it had many issues so I got rid of it and last year got the sexy HTC One X. No problems experienced to date.

is it really a "smartphone" if the purchaser is wasting $70< a month on an "unlimited" data plan? Especially considering there are far cheaper wifi enabled devices and wifi hotspots literally everywhere (likely including your own home)... I would think a "smartphone" is the flip-phone you get for free from your service provider along with the calls-only plan...

Exorbitant as the plans may be (hey, I see you never mentioned pre-paid, only post-paid), by definition, yes, these are all still smart phones, and your flip phone is in fact not, by ideal, function, or definition.

My very first phone was my very first smartphone, an iPhone 5C. It was free at Best Buy so... heck, why not. Having no issues with build quality whatsoever, since I got a mildly-protective case and I never drop electronic devices anyway.

I think I'm more careful with them than babies... :ph34r:

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
