What smartphone do you guys use?

[notFound]

Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini, not my phone of choice but it was £150 and I needed a phone desperately at the time. It's not too bad, running a custom ROM and rooted of course. Does what I need, although I prefer my old Sony J108i simply due to it's call quality.

Still using LG Optimus, but unactivated and rooted and filtering the DNS with massive block listing.  Purely using as wifi-only device. Mainly for streaming audio and a few common apps.

Which one? I'm using the Optimus L9, very easy to root but custom rom support is very poor.  I only got it because at the time I didn't want to shell out and extra $150 for the Nexus 4 which I now regret.  I'll probably end up buying one off craigslist around xmas.  Not a terrible phone but battery life could be better.

It works well enough to become a WIFI AP for my Nexus 7 for when I need to do the real browsing.  My only complaint is my upload speeds but I suspect that is more a network issue then phone limitation.

Lots of iPhone users here =/  My wife is waiting for her 5S to arrive...

HTC One.

Latest firmware update made a quite solid smartphone out of it. Energy saving mode lasts for about 3 days.

Is the sound as good as they advertise?

Still kicking around the Optimus V.  More than sufficient for the little I use it.  Winamp, TuneIn (about tired of it), Craigslist, Ebay, Opera those are my staple apps.  All run fine on the old hardware.

The more recent models do look nice though.

If I were opting to buy into the official new phone with cell service, I'd be shopping a water proof and rugged phone.  Good to see more mainstreaming of some --- wider availability.

I have a Samsung Note version 1.

It's a good phone but I'm looking to replace it. Samsung doesn't support it with newer roms and CyanogenMod doesn't play all that nicely with it either.

I get quite a few crashes (purple screen + reboot) as well as the screen tripping out randomly.

I'm looking at a Nexus 5 when it comes out but damn, I sure like having a stylus.

S4. Multi-Tasking, Universal remote, Awesome Sensor, I am good.

Optimus V is huge, Just saying.

Does iOS7 perform well on the 4? 

Well it's alright. Things are a bit faster. I actually had a problem with my phone when I first installed it with people not being able to hear me on calls, but it fixed it self

Size of a phone doesn't bother me in the least.  I remember the days of bag phones and trunk phone fondly.

My main phone is a Galaxy Nexus. It's getting pretty old, but it still manages to have up to date CyanogenMod ROMs so I don't see myself switching anytime soon. Especially since I don't use my phone for much more than calls, and for when I need to use the Internet away from a computer.

I had the same issue with mine and Kristi's.  Took a bit of trial and error before I realized the firmware was the issue... I don't remember exactly what I had to update first (I'll go digging for it today and see if I can find it for you), but there is something you have to install first before being able to throw on the bootloader and ROM.

Haha well I unlocked the bootloader (is that what they have you do first?) and the next step was to turn off S-On (to S-Off) and that's where I'm having issues.  If you don't mind I'd very much appreciate it  I believe I have HBoot 1.27.0000.

I have a HTC one. Yes, everything they advertise is as good as it actually is.

The sound is good - the reason I bought this phone.

LG Optimus One P500 here, running CyanogenMod. Bought more than 2 years back, but still handy. Only issue I face is the low internal memory.
