My next phone. I recently got a work phone, and carrying around that plus my s5 is getting annoying. I need a smaller phone lol.
Also, I just rooted my s5. What should I do next? I installed titanium back up, froze the worthless Samsung apps, and installed greenify. But that's all I did so far.
The Sony compact phones are your best choices, hopefully the Z3 compact actually comes out here for people like you.
The Samsung and HTC mini phones are shite. I doubt they'll try and minimise phones until the bigger ones stop selling. It's just a lot easier to get top of the line specs in a bigger package.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Why tho? Why do you need small dimensions when 4-5 inches is still insanely usable. I get not wanting a 5.5" behemoth, but you could easily use say a Moto G.
I were also totally against big phones and didn't get it. Especially not when holding the phones at the stores. I had a Galaxy Nexus for 2 weeks before selling it because it were too large.
Now I have had the LG G3 for some days and it's large no denying it but I actually quickly forgot how "small" the iPhone 5 was compared to this one.

Damn thanks, i went through search on the top of the site and havent found this tool.
This answers me completely
--edit--

Pockets, it just doesnt fit into pockets with wallet already inside and second pocket i use for documents.
I carry everything i need in pockets. Bigger phones just doesnt cut into this requirement, with other stuff i carry.
Moto G is slightly smaller than Samsung S3 that my mother has and that phone is way too big for me, i checked already

Yeah, i know that for example S3 mini is shit, because it was a phone my mother at first bought and i had to fight quite a lot to change it into full S3 in mobile company.
It had many problems with registering what You were typing on a panel, when full S3 did not have those at all.

The Xperia SX is better.
Most pants have 4 pockets...Pockets, it just doesnt fit into pockets with wallet already inside and second pocket i use for documents.

It has to fit those documents too!
It's like the dude is a walking post it note!

You should get a pair of pants with more than two pockets.

EDIT: I'm an idiot. I solved my problem lol.
By the way, I'm really enjoying the Nexus 5. Using my iPhone 5s after using the Nexus 5 for a few hours was pretty weird. The 5s is so small! I don't think I can ever go back.

doesn't mean i can't go test run something else for 14 days...
Haha dammit, September is so far away though and we know next to nothing about the note 4 other than big screen and stylus
Also that 350 price tag is super tempting
so this happened (top left)
what do
no water damage or anything I can think of
That usually happens if you put it near high powered speakers.
That's a crt right?

that's a solid foundation.
I currently have a Note 2 and have a 1+1 coming in the next day or two so I will be able to give you some impressions.
That's what I've done manually, but it's supposed to do it on its own. In fact, using CWM to install the ZIP doesn't do anything unless I first mount the /system folder. Is that typical?
Good luck with putting wallet, documents, or phone in back pockets and do not destroy them after a while or make You really uncomfortable while sitting.

Too big unfortunately, but thanks for a suggestion.

those documents sound like things that go in a wallet. you need to get pants with normal pockets.

Galaxy S3? Happened to my friends, no real solution other than pay Samsung to fix it/replace the screen yourself.
It's a Nexus 4 so it should be one of the simplest to work with, but maybe it's because I used to have Cyanogen on it first.

Yes, my last android was a nexus 4.
I am not finding it that much of a difference in size personally. Either I have massive hands or some people are over exaggerating about the size of the phone.

I too made the switch from N4 to OPO without any real issue. Using the phone one handed can sometimes be a bit of a stretch, but in the main I'm loving it. The back feels almost fuzzy, which helps with grip.
you can still use normal widgets using nova launcher. just long press on a blank space on a home screen, or bring up the app list and hit the 'widgets' tab like normal
if you're feeling adventurous, try installing zooper widget pro and making your own - not that complicated
lumia 530? 119mm x 62mm x 11.7mm (129g)
alternatively if you're set on Android, then the moto G (129mm x 65mm x 11.6mm) should be pretty close to what you want? or the Sony Xperia Z1 compact (127mm x 64.9mm x 9.5mm)
A little extra length and width won't kill you
But the calendar widget is not there..
Is it the stock LG calendar? Because I think LG's widgets only work on the LG stock launcher. So either get a 3rd party calendar (like Google's own) or make your own widget.
