Is it just me or does it make you mad when you see someone with a $500 Smartphone and just use it for things like Facebook. I know this guy who has a Captivate and only uses it for facebook and nothing else. I asked him to look at his phone and he hadn't even updated the software to 2.2. Wth!!! He was like oh its no big deal. Another girl I know has the Mytouch 4g and has no clue what her phone can do cause its all about facebook. Rrrrrrr that just makes me so mad to see a awesome piece of technology go to waste just cause they want to look cool with a Smartphone. I have a Vibrant and I have Bionix with all of these other add one like 5 signal bar and the 3g icon instead of the H. Its made my phone killer. Its fast as hell and is a million times better then any stock phone. Team Whiskey is the the most amazing Dev. Team. I use my phone for everything from music to road directions and internet and of course facebook. Like most of us on xda we use its full potential. Does anyone agree or am I just looking into this to far??

It doesn't make me mad, in fact it makes me happy. Those are the type of people who call all android phones "droids" because of the commercials. They follow the trend and its what's cool right now. As long as they're happy with their phone and they keep buying its good for the rest of us because the manufacturers and the service providers get their money, and bringing us better phones and software.
No you are on the mark. And it's the masses that don't care about updates and make it hard for those of us who want the latest release on our handsets to have our voices heard. Which is why samsuck will continue making billions and ignore customer support...

I think you're just getting riled up over stuff that shouldn't really concern you. I have a lot of friends like that--they have iPhones and Android phones and barely exploit the potential. But so what? They're getting what they want out of the phone. And they're building up the smartphone userbase, which benefits us all.
As for not updating, why should they if the phone does everything they want already? Not everyone is interested in tinkering with their phones.
For example, my wife has an OG Droid and I don't think she's even changed the wallpaper or downloaded more than five apps. And so? She probably uses her phone for real work more than anyone else I know. She's probably on the phone 4-5 hrs a day and sends/receives hundreds of emails. The Droid works perfectly for her, so why should she care to mess with it? The phone itself just does not interest her.

This is very true.
The world is full of simpletons and absent minded people who are incapable of doing any critical thinking that are just waiting for someone to make decisions for them and lead them around by the nose. It's frustrating in other, more important aspects of life...in the smartphone department though not so much.

You forget not all people are technical. They buy phones for phone calls. Just because someone uses there phone for facebook and phone calls doesn't mean they are wasting a phone. They paid for it so let them do what ever they want. If they want to mod it then they will learn how to. To each their own.
Just because a smartphone can do anything doesn't mean its users necessarily use it for everything.

Heh, I really think it's just us at XDA for the most part. Just remember that everyone has different obsessions.
My wife thinks it's crazy that I would spend $500 on a phone or $2000 on a laptop, but then again I don't understand how she can drop $300 on a purse (and I can imagine this kind of thread among handbag enthusiasts: ("OMG, how can some women carry such cheap-ass knock-offs. Don't they know? Don't they care?").
Last example, my friend has some cheap Honda that he bought for commuting. He doesn't care about cars at all, but he's had multiple guys ask him what mods he's done. I'm sure that to these guys in the rice-burner community, my friend is some luddite dumbass because he hasn't installed some mods that would boost his car's performance. But again, he just doesn't care about turning his Honda into a street-racing machine.
It's their money, their loss if they don't want to learn.......most people are so lame when it comes to techie things it scares me, At work I have people asking me to fix their computers (I'm not I.T.) I look at it and I tell them i can fix it......... uhh 60% of the time it is unplugged........So, that's the people we deal with... but remember as long as they buy we benefit from the volume of sales

Guys im wondering ... if you could get rid of your fascinate for a different model which would it be? Doesnt have to be Android. Just wondering cause I think im done with android and fascinates underacheiving. The applications just arent there yet.
Ofcourse since im on verizin there are no other choices but come xmas/new years im certain there will be.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
We're all on Verizon, and like you say there is not another choice. Why do you keep posting this kind of stuff? Need attention?
If I HAD to get a different phone, the only viable option would be the Droid X.
I would LOOVVEE me some windows phone action. They are breaking down so many barriers. You're right android sucks. I am so sick of having choices and options. I long for the day that I get to stare at a lackluster ui and colored blocks. And don't get me wrong I love the fascinate and does everything I want it to do. Being stuck with that metro ui interface and waiting and hoping for some apps to be developed does have a certain attraction.
good day.

I sincerely hope you switch to the Iphone so you can make use of Grindr (not yet supported on android, and probably the inspiration for his applications gripe) as much as you want and stop making these retarded posts.
I want a unicorn phone that can recharge off of rainbows.
Seriously, it'll take at least two cores, a front facing camera, 4G, simultaneous calls and data, and native 1080p for me to even consider replacing my phone. I'd even be willing to settle for gingerbread. They can slog it down with all the bloatware and awkward file systems they want, as long as it roots. IOS has a rich app base, but it just feels suffocating for me to use it. I think this community is spectacular, disregarding the occasional burst of irrelevant or misplaced threads. I'm a first time smartphone user though, so I guess I don't know what I'm missing.
Swyped from my i500.04 (bh &1129) using XDA App
the only phone i would switch for would be an evo. other than that i'd wait till the spring/summer to see whats out
Lol im just Venting. I get bored with tech easily. The wait for fascinates update.... Killer!! I posted a few weeks ago that Madden was coming for android....Nfl season is almost over and nothing haha.
Themes for Android just arent my thing. No devs makin apps and its androids fault in not implementing solid DRM protection. Just Sad!
i was gonna go windows mobile 7 cause i love the UI but the browser stinks. I might get pulled into a Iphone if it ever comes to Verizon.

So, as we've been telling you for a while, sell it on Craigslist or something and go get an iPhone. Seriously. Your trolling is annoying. We get it. You do not like the phone or Android. So STFU about it. I wish the mods would ban you so that your useless troll threads would stop cluttering up these boards. You could have just posted the first two sentences and had a good, although off topic, thread. But no. You just had to troll some more.

Marty,
Please find a different forum to go spamming and pissing other people off in. xda is a forum for developers and modders. It's not for people to sit around and complain about their phone, request crap that doesn't exist, and or ask for themes that no one wants to develop for this phone.
I'm pretty sure I'm speaking for everyone when I say that you are a nuisance to these forums.
Thanks,
Matt.

1) Battery life doesn't suck, if you tweak the phone. Which, logically, doesn't mean that it sucks if you don't.
2) My Evo seems to be doing everything above 40fps. Can't really say that it's lagging.

It's pretty simple. I own a EVO because I wanted a Android phone to take advantage of Google Voice which I use as a business line. It's a good phone, but as good as the EVO is, it isn't perfect. I personally don't start threads criticizing the EVO (because it simply doesn't make sense to here) but if the discussion comes up and people start responding about how the EVO is crystal clear perfect, I speak up. If you were expecting a forum where EVO users just high five'n themselves in ignorant bliss well then just ignore posts like that.
I personally don't see a problem with criticism if it's done tastefully (i.e. with specifics and not general blanketing statements like "OMGZ the EVO/iPhone sucks!"). And it goes both ways anyway - you can't go to any Android site and read about other phones without some (and funny enough EVO users are by freaking far biggest culprits) idiots yelling "SO WHAT!! MY PHONE IS THE BEST!!!" You've got the same people here.
Bottom line this is a General forum about the EVO, and anything about should go. Trolls are trolls and generally say idiotic things that should just be ignored; but don't be surprised when vocal people like me to speak up when a complete EVO fanboy goes into fantasy land.

almost all the evo users i know love the phone. it's also praised very highly online. as a matter a fact many of the users and devs at precentral just bought evo's to replace their palm pre's.
as far as the iphone, it's a great phone but hardly what id call a smartphone. im willing to bet $$ though that alot of users will be switching to one once the cdma version hits though.

No true multitasking, being locked out of installing anything not found in apple's market (without jail breaking), these two alone make it seem pretty dumbphone-ish to me.
Hey guys,
here is HTC Facebook page.
Looks like it is starting to pick up with people complaining about the bootloader being locked.
Maybe we can all jump on there and let them know how happy we are that they are doing this, along with what other phones we will be buying now.

yeah i saw the page too but they won't change it before launch... something made them do this to the 3d. basically i think htc is saying them do not support flashing custom roms.
ill stick to my new nexus s 4g thanks!
Here is what i wrote,
Signed/Encrypted bootloaders... Come on HTC... This really pisses me off. Think about it, really, what are you losing here? Almost nothing. It is the persons choice to root, so you lose no quality control.
But back onto the actually point. Signing/encrypting bootloaders or other functions of a device that a consumer owns was considered a radical idea. It was frowned upon and was thought of as childish. And that is how you guys are acting, childish. You lock down your phones because your scared of what.... progress?
I understand there are some problems for you with rooting. For example, free wireless tethering, ability to use leaked ROMs and other factors. But this is such a small hand off to wage war with developers. Microsoft did it, Sony did it, even Apple did it.... Look were they all are now. The hackers do everything they can to make sure they can hack and DOMINATE the devices they lock down. In Microsoft's and Sony's case, there is a difference in reason, piracy. Now, tell me, if I can already install any app on my phone, what piracy are you protecting users form by not allowing them to do anything custom with their phone?
You have brought the whole world a step backwards, as a lot of people believe in your philosophies, and eventually will standardize them. What this about to start is enormous, there is no problem right now for you because people aren't even trying to hack your gay signature checks. Why? Because those developers DONT BUY THAT PHONE. ------->DONT<---- Buy that phone. Now, once that this standdard is implemented with every single modern phone, you guys will be tormented by the constant stream of hacks and exploits the a full force of developers can bring. You will be stressed to the point as the iPhone jailbreaking scene replicates itself to Android devices.
I mean come on HTC, do you really want to start all of this? I wouldn't. By not locking down your devices, you gain more customers(even though its a small percent that would leave because of your decisions), you gain a better view from people as a good company, and you get the benefit of geeks saying good things about you on their blogs. Yes HTC, thats were all the reviews come from, US. We will spare you no mercy in our reviews if you condemn us to this treatment any longer.
On a final note, i hope to rethink your decisions to sign/encrypt bootloaders and other parts of the phone. The whole point of Android is to be OPEN, not CLOSED. Thats what makes it different. The point is to be open, no matter what COST or FACTORS convince you otherwise. I do not even want to buy the HTC Evo 3D now because of your changes. Now HTC, rethink what you have done, please, and see if you can change it before it gets out of hand. In the end, you are the company that gets to make the decisions, but we are the consumers who buy your products.
Thanks so much for a great ride so far HTC,
You will be missed

So does this mean the Evo 3d can never be rooted? Or does it just make it more difficult ?

Yes, I see you, you sexy little thing you, teasing me with your dual core specs, super AMOLED+ screen, and accurate GPS, working that pole at the Galaxy S..tripper Cabaret.
Last time around, you sucked all the money out of my wallet. True, you screwed me afterwards, but you screwed all my friends, too, you cheap little whore. You went on to imply that you were going to always be there for me and my friends. Turns out you decided to sleep with all of Europe and the rest of the world, plying them with your gingerbread cookies, but what do I get? Not even a happy ending.
You never even came back to the States. Nope, you stayed in Europe after that plastic surgery a few months ago, showing everyone else your new facelift and big tits, giving everyone else a taste of the new you. Now that they've had their way with you, you decide to come back to the States and try to entice me.
You're out of my life, Samsung. I'm not sure even an ice cream sandwich would whet my appetite. I'm gonna go out with my new friends, HTC & LG. Hell, I might even make a bong out of an apple. But I'm not going to give you a hit, Samsung.

Haha, hi Piggy! Nice to see you again |)
Excellent, there's no way to explain it better than you already did!!!
yea and the facelift ect doesnt look as good as you did all rectangular. the corners were sharp now you are curved like the nexus s.
My next phone is either the next nexus phone or even the iPhone. I really hope the next google flagship phone feels as high quality in hand as the iPhone does or I might be leaving android
Next thing for me will be the nexus prime, me thinks.

Very creative OP!
You should write bedtime stories for children.
As I had stated in another thread, I could not go with another brand of phone. I could certainly go with another carrier without an issue, especially with the T-mob acquisition from ATT. I will never go with ATT, nothing but bad experiences with them.
The reason I will stay with Samsung are as follows.
More local storage, more app storage, more memory, better screen, gorilla glass and finally, faster phone in general. This is my experience and from watching specs it does not seem like this will change either.
This is the experience I have had, granted I started my android foray with the Vibrant and have only used friends phones for other models to test for short whiles, rarely more than a day.

Im happy because now most of the average phone users will go over to the iPhone and our android forums wont be cluttered up as much ... i hope....
It's over rated, nothing really great about it
I think it's good for Sprint as a company, but I don't want it.

Thank You Crucifixion......Nothing Special about an IPhone. NOT A DARN THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't get me wrong.. the iphone5 is going to be really sweet. But idk, i have an ipod and an ipad.. the UI can get boring as all it is a is a big app drawer ui. The apps are DEF an advantage, but I see more and more ios apps coming to android.
Pass. But if it's good for Sprint and not bad for their network, hope people are happy. An iPhone right now would actually be a big step down from my Epic, for all kinds of reasons. Android forever (translated from Geek: for the foreseeable future until they **** us folks ;-) ).
Its way to early to tell if this is a bad thing(maybe not, since they're raising prices allready) but I really hope its not and it gets sprint some needed leaverage.

Very nicely put. I fully agree.

You know what would be VERY cool? An iPhone5 running Android. Its undoubtedly going to be miles ahead of Android phones with regards to hardware, as the new iPad's are every time one is released. Getting Android on one would be amazing, but probably impossible.

I have casually tried both iPhone 4 and iPads and never received the impression that they were better spec-ed than the latest Android or even Windows equivalents. Now that Apple is at war with basically anyone who isn't them in tech world, I think they will consistently lose any raw horsepower race (Samsung may not want to sell to them anymore for one). Maybe they will retain an edge in usability for some people, but they are the design kings, as long as you don't despise iTunes like I do, and price gouging.
I'm jumping with my wife. I started on AT&T and iPhone then moved to sprint because cost of the plan. I've seen both sides and so far you can't beat the stability and battery if your willing to drink Steves koolaid!
Looks like I finally made up my mind about what my next phone is going to be. Iphone 5 is it. I was gonna get the Epic Touch but quickly remembered the fact that my phone is on 2.2.1 in an era where Android is at 2.3.6, and how frustrating the Gingerbread leaks have been so far. Not to forget the fact that Samsung doesn't even have the courtesy to share their source code or drivers so that we can create our own up to date roms. I'm never dealing with Samsung again. It's been a nightmare.

As opposed to how up to date Apple keeps their phones. With Apple you don't even have to worry about late updates. Ios frees you from that hassle. You have great, fast, stable, low latency audio software, and you can jailbreak your phone and customize it as much as Android in terms of appearance and functionality. Plus you have much more games and apps. Can't lose.
