LG Optimus 2X.

It's actually a pretty good phone but you absolutely need it rooted with a modded CM7 or similar.

I'm severely displeased with Nvidia/LG for not releasing Tegra 2 sources, so we can get with ICS.

Once ICS is acutally released for the phone, it'll be instantly surpassed... The community is way ahead of the actual producer:?

Samsung Galaxy S2.
Not happy with it TBH, it suffers from one major problem. If the phone is turned off while almost empty, at a few %, then it can't be charged with a common phone charger. I'm forced to go to a mechanic to use their charger or strip a USB cable on one end, and tape the wires directly to the battery. The last option seems quite random though, doesn't always work on the first few tries.
The most annoying thing about it is that the business where I bought to phone states that the phone is functioning as intended and that the problem is normal when using li-ion batteries. I've yet to meet someone with the same problem though. Note that the problem even happens when I turn off the phone myself, before it's completely empty.

Have you tried updating the software? Possibly rooting it and going with a ROM? Your provider may not be focusing on keeping you up to date.

Pulling the battery/using your computer via USB may help as well.

Never tried rooting it, I do have the latest software and even had it completely removed and installed again by one of my providers mechanics. He told me their update system works better or something, but I didn't notice much different. In addition I bought several batteries/chargers tried several reliable android versions, none of them prevented the problem.
I tried pulling the battery and using the PC's USB. I fixed the problem several times with a PC USB cable that is stripped on one end (using the wires directly), and taping the red/black wire on the +/- parts of the battery. Which sometimes works, thanks for your suggestions though. Is the rooting thing you mentioned completely legal? Rooting/roms tend to be in a gray area.

My current theory is that the wirering in the phone, from the charger to the batteries -/+ points is damaged. Which may a loss of energy and a reduced effectiveness when charging the battery inside the phone as opposed to charging the battery directly. The phone tends to become quite hot when recharging it by normal means, even if it's turned off. Which may translate to the energy loss.

So to all Samsung G2 users, does your phone become hot while recharging it even when the phone is turned off.

That certainly sounds like defective wiring. If you warranty is'nt expired, you should RMA it.

The SG2 is a pretty damn great phone, but that means nothing if it does'nt work ;)

Itcould be a software bug though, so I think you should find your respective model onhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/index.phpand check for people with similar issues.

I highly advice everyone with a smartphone to root it and get a good custom ROM, but it does take some research. Worst part is that you can't get rid of your insecurity before having actually done it.

It's practically impossible to irreversibly brick your phone, but one can easily tread where swimming is needed ;)

I'd be happy to help out but you're better off with XDA and people with the same model as you.

Yeah, I tried the GS3 in store today, and it's not for me. I turned the screen brightness all the way up, and it was still too dim. Not sure why Samsung did that, but it made the phone completely unusable for me. Oh well, I guess it just means the wait for the iphone will be easier. Thanks, Samsung.

I got a Samsung Messager (not a real word) two years ago. 2 days ago it stopped functioning for no reason. I literally turned it on and the touch screen refused to work. Getting a new phone monday. It won't be a Samsung if I can help it.

It also won't be a smart phone as I'll be paying for it out of pocket and by myself which means no smart phone for me until I get a real job.

I'm currently in the possession of a Samsung Galaxy S3 and it's fantastic. Without a doubt it is the fastest phone I have ever owned with web pages loading quickly with little to no distortion. The large screen fits surprisingly well in my hand (and pocket) and I suppose that is thanks to the sleek 'pebble' design the community was raving about, I needed to buy a case though as it was a little bit too slippery for my liking. Battery life is solid, I can sometimes push 2 days of medium use before needing to plug it in which is something quite unseen with smartphones. Overall I'm pretty happy with my S3 so far, I just hope it continues to serve me well.
