Droid X is sold, bought a fascinate.
Tired of lacking full root, needing SBF's, fake AOSP, and inability to use 3rd party kernels. This all really destroyed what I considered the best phone ever released.
Great job on the eFuse Motorola! I'll never buy another phone again unless it's fully rooted first.
hopefully you also posted this on moto's own DX forums where it would have more desirable impact for you
Haha I six the same. The fascinate has shoddy sour e, great devs abd who knows when it will get froyo let alone gingerbfead. I am a admin in the fascinate irc chat and bc la k of true source, la k of froyo and lots of bugs im back with my x and my dinc( can't decide ) I love miui on the dinc. Trust me fas inats has awesome harware. You are going to regret that decision. I would rather have a lo led bootmoaxer than horse shot software u can't do anything with.

I definitely agree with you protesting with your wallet, but telling us won't help as much as you sending them an email and posting in there forums.
I miss my Dinc. The X is nice, but man I am missing full root myself. Although, I am sure something better is around the corner. I will hold out.
yeah i had a fascinate for 1 day (basically got it for a cheap price on craigslist so i could either sell or trade for an x) that fascinate was quick but boy that ui sucks. no google? thats even more dumb. i love my x. i had one for a couple months and sold it thinking i was gonna break it in a rough environment i started working in, but now i have another one and won't change til something way better comes out... HTC Merge maybe???
I don't have these problems. Why you might ask well im not rooted I use the phone for what it does and that's a lot. Not a fan of rooting. I see to baby problems with that stuff. I realy on my phone to work when I need it to. Just my two cents. I had the vibrant before this and its the worst phone i've ever had sanding does not take care if there phones. When will it get 2.2? Its six months behind most phones. You are getting rid of one of the best phones out because you can't root it like you want must be nice to mess with a phone then decide to just get something else. I can only afford to buy one phone so I don't mess with it. I mess this phone up I will then be using a very old non smart phone for my new phone. Now I know that there are really cool things that a rooted phone can do but if its not broken don't fix it. Unfortunately im in the minority with this.

This made me laugh. I thought the exact same thing. Maybe he was trying to use Swype for the first time or something?
I didn't like my X in the beginning before it was rooted. I hated the blur except for a few apps (Alarm, Camera, etc.), but now that I'm rooted and running Fission I'm more than happy with it.
Hey guys. I'm just wondering if you guys would recommend stock DHD for a user? I have been reading the forums for a while and most everybody has rooted and changed roms and radios. I don't know if I would be comfortable with it at first. Would you guys still recommend the DHD to a person who wouldn't root it or hack it? I'm sick of my icrap. I don't want to invalidate the warranty. But I want a good machine from the start.
Opinions?

from what i can say, with or without custom rom, the dhd is a top device and fast enough
the rooting, custom rom and radio thing is just for people who want to get the maximum out of the device
its stock still a very good device

Well if u aint gona root it and install homebrew then buddy i am suggesting HTC SENSTATION 100% .... its gona be released mid may or 1st june... its a much better cell phone... i am getting it myself
I got my DHD for about a week now and rooted it the day after I got it and actually the only reason at that moment for me to do so was because I got a lot of stock apps and trials (seriously.. Don't put 2 minute trials in it!), but I played around all day and all night with it and although my custom rom is better than stock, it's still a great phone!
But as Leather|Face already mentioned, there is a new wave of HTC phones coming out pretty soon which are better, so you might want to wait if you have the patience
The DHD is the best HTC device at the moment and although there is the sensation around the corner something better is always on the horizon. Even stock it's a great device.
Haven't touched my DHD after a month, , it is unlocked and unbranded, the only reason I'll probably mess with it is to get rid of all the social networking crud and other software I don't want, that's built into it.
Seems pretty good stock to me.
Hey guys ... i've done a lot of reading and still scared as hell to root and flash homebrewed rom on my DHD since i've never done that b4... i've found a LOT of instructions and guidelines on "how to" ... but still i'd ask if any1 of you expirienced rooters would take a moment and post or PM me a really really detailed guide on how to root and flash custom rom such as CM7 with 2.3.3 and links to all thw tools i need. I've had desire and now dhd, but never rooted a phone. I would appreciate if any1 could do this favour. I'm a noob, but still, none of us were born with all sorts of abillities, and we gotta learn it somehow ...
Thx.

The guides around are top notch and pretty much noob proof, you'd really have to 'try' and brick your device. If you need even more depth instructions I'm going to venture out there and say maybe rooting isn't for you. I had no idea about anything, did reading in the morning and was flashing kernels by night. Just follow the instructions!
I do have the patience. I'll wait for the sensation that's coming out first on Vodafone . Another month with i****. Oh well xD. I bet though the reviews will point out some major flaws. I've been reading about the lg optimus 2x and it has a lot of flaws. Same with the se arc. I also considered those two. This htc model has the least amount of complaints as far as I can see. but I'll wait another month. thanks guys.

In your situation I'd probably do the same. As someone else said, there's always something "better" coming along but, in this case, it's nearly here so you may as well wait a few weeks.
Regarding the OP though, my DHD was acquired last October unbranded and unlocked, but I haven't rooted it. Just set it up as I want it and installed the apps that made my life easier. It'd be nice to be able to zap the apps. I don't want (the unsociable networking apps have been mentioned above ... ) but set them to 'not sync' and they may as well not be there anyway (as I don't have a faceplant or twatter account they couldn't sync anyway ).
Enjoy the new phone!

Rooted or unrooted desire HD is too awesome. The only reason I rooted was because I got bored . However I would definitely recommend rooting to get the most out of your phone.
Like other people are saying, maybe it might be better if you hold of for the sensation if you want a stock phone.
I'd wait for the HTC Sensation because i've too much problems with my DHD.
Misaligned parts, blurry camera, crappy sound through speaker and headphones.
But despite my problems the DHD also has A LOT of great things: great Speed, LOTS of RAM, huge ROM, a really great display (I prefer the LCD of the DHD over the AMOLED of the Desire).
I brought my DHD at Feb. I didn't do anything to it (util the end of March).
But I'm still very satisfy with it's performance.
Maybe Sensation will have better performance due on better hardware....
For DHD, I still think it a phone with great C/P.
I was afraid to root my DHD at the very first.
But I found out that's actually very easy by fallowing the instruction on this forum.
Now I'm flashing different ROMs and apps into my phone and trying different tricks mentioned by other friends.
You will love it, once you root it ~~~ XD

I think you really have to try hard to brick the phone, as long as you can follow simple instructions then you will be fine .
There are tonnes of guides/videos/faqs littered all over the internet on how to root the DHD. There really is no reason to be scared of doing it. I would also reccomend doing it sooner rather then later, as then you don't have to worry about backing up what you have already put on your phone.
Contradicting what others have said above me, I actually don't like the DHD as stock. Sense seems to me to be very shiny and pretty, but it's slow(ish) and filled with rubbish I didn't want. I flashed CM7 when it came out a few weeks back, and haven't looked back since. It just feels so much more responsive, and it's nice to have the latest version of Android (2.3.3), which we are still waiting to see from HTC.
I would strongly recommend the Desire HD, as I think it really is one of the best phones on the market, but I also recommend rooting and putting a different ROM on it too.
So...I've had my Nexus S 4G for 2 weeks now, and I have to say, the first few days I was having trouble justifying the off contract price of the phone, especially when my Epic was perfectly fine.....
Fast forward to the first week, I was really liking how well it fit in my pocket, not to mention the battery life stock, and the GPS lock in seconds...awesome.
I also decided to root and try CM7, and I've been running it for a week so far, and I'll say it's changed my mind, and I'm definitely keeping this phone now!
And the ONLY thing I missed from my epic was the camera button, and today fooling around with my Nexus, I found that in CM7 you can assign the volume buttons to take pictures, EFFIN AWESOME!
So, I'm in love!
That is all,
Chris
cm7 opens the phone up so much more. its awesome

So did the Sprint employees look at you funny when you bought it off contract for full retail?
I've always wondered what they think when enthusiasts come in and lay down half a grand on a phone... It's an expensive hobby.
I also came from the Epic... it's hard to tell they have the same hardware inside.
I don't see myself ever buying a non nexus device again..(here is hoping Sprint continues to play a role in the Nexus devices!!) Android is at it's best when it's running as Google intended. Not to mention the updates and development..
Anyways. Welcome glad you like it.

The sprint stores always seemed surprised. Best buy and the T-Mobile stores never blinked an eye. I've purchased 6 phones at full retail and only got an odd response once (from a Sprint employee).
Having gone from the Nexus One to this phone (and I'll buy the next Nexus phone as well) I hope it comes to Sprint. Otherwise I'll have to jump carriers again.

Hey all. I decided against going with the 3vo and went with the 4g (on the advice of a few sprint employee friends). I've had root on my hero since it was possible and finally just got tired of the phone itself. This phone is everything I knew it would be. SOME issues I've experienced but nothing all that bad. GV didn't work at all but it's working now and the voice option on the keyboard doesn't work. Oh well.
Anyways, I'm not at all a dev, but will be happy to give feedback on whatever rom (once root). For those who are working on root options...GOOD LUCK!!!

Welcome to the evo. Don't mind the trolls they seem to be in abundance these days. Might make me goto the 3d just for that reason.
As for the voice, I had that problem in a few roms. Idk what the problem was but after installing swiftkeyboard x its working fine on my current daily driver. I can't say it didn't work before becouse I didn't try it.

Wow, so I'm not the only one that didn't fall for the 3-D crap.

I have to agree with you. My phone does everything i need it to. I just got my 1800mah battery a few days ago, so battery life is better. Also just installed v6 supercharger script and the phone is even more buttery smooth. Been checking out the sgs II forums and honestly nothing so far has made me want to change.
I do love my Vibrant.
I was bartending last night and a guy at the bar had a (stock) Sprint SGS2. I played with it for a while, and damn, it was smooth. It did make me feel slightly jealous.
I love mine but I want to change to a newer one.
But alas, I'm stuck here until I get money for a new one.
Im my country, the newest one we have is the SGSII and not only that thing is older than I'm comfortable with (the international version), but also costs 500+ ON CONTRACT.

try miui 2.3.7 nb version 1.11.4. This version frees up alot of ram.
If i remember correctly you can use this script with any android OS. It automatically recommends the settings based on your phone. Just read thru the OP to be sure.
