selling mt3gs what to get next?

so i wanna sell my phone
but whats the next best thing... galaxy s? what is everybody else gravitating to?
so many phones to choose from

I love my Vibrant....just remember the G2 is hardware locked for rooting. There are some sweet roms for the Vibrant. And if you're hot for Froyo....there's a rom for that. The main issue is the Gps still has a few kinks to be worked out....other than that you'd have to pry it from my cold dead hands.

I would and am waiting to see what is offered during Q1 of 2011... G2 may be "locked" but it's not hardware, besides the Vibrant still hasn't seen a stable 1.4GHz OC.

Has anyone confirmed if the G2 will not be root'able? I was just informed I may get this as an early present...

It hasn't been confirmed that it will remain unrootable. Last thing I read cyanogen and crew were working on it and have said it will be difficult but they will find a way just like they have with other pita phones like ours.

Yeah I just checked the HTC Vision dev forums and they already have a one-click temp root, so I imagine a full root wouldn't be far off.

Why are you selling it?its a bad ass phone. My wife has 1 and she loves hers. 2.2 update will be soon on it so anything you get today or tomorrow will have 2.2 on it. What's the point? The mts3g is still a new phone. Wait a bit. You might find something ultimate after the new year. 2011 is the year for 4g and its products.

well its all old technology, old processor that cant do flash, no hd screen...
it is a cool phone and hopefully 2.2 sense comes out and it will be good for a bit, but the newer 4g, hd phones are the way to go in my opinion.

Sent from my Aria - CM7 Build 43

It's cheap for a 4.3 "superphone" at $100, but it's outdated the second the Atrix hits the market, so I'll pass. Not to mention the battery life is supposedly worse than the Aria, if that's possible.

Honestly between the inspire and the atrix I would go with the inspire hands down. Doesnt look very promising for new kernels and such. And I have no doubt that the xda Gods can get that inspire to smoke the atrix, plus I have always perfered htc. Now if the bootloader wasnt signed, atrix all the way.
I think I am gonna see what comes out later in the year. The aria is still ok for me now, but I am def getting the itch. Congrats on the new phone.

Rooted yes, but the bootloader is signed. This means that your never going to get a new kernel. you may be able to flash a rom with some crazy work arounjd, but we all know how vital the kernel is. So much for overclocking and utilizing that powerhouse of a phone.

Goodbye friends

After 10 months of having an Aria I have decided to move to the Inspire. I'm gonna miss you all. This was the perfect community, lots of hard workers and not very fast moving, like the Inspire one where you post and 2 minutes later you have 20 new posts on top of yours. I know now for sure that teh Aria is indeed the best size for a phone. I'd like to say thank you to CallMeAria, GenePoole for making the best ROM ever, DrowningChild, Jznomoney and everyone else who worked hard for all of us to enjoy the best ROMs and apps. You're all fantastic people and I hope you stay that way.
I'm looking forward to see some of you over there. Goodbye!

Very nice goodbye. I hope you enjoy the Inspire!

Best of luck & enjoy the Inspire!

Good luck with your new phone! I hope it will be as fun for you as the aria is.

hey dude, i am on the same page as u, i was thinking of buying a inspire 4g..
but how is your experience of the camera on 4g..
i used to think my aria is more or less same as iphone 4g but damn it sucks compared to iphone 4 specially in indoor lighting condtions.

You're lucky that I still come to this forum from time to time to see if I can help on anything. I'm loving the Inspire, the camera is great actually. Most HTC's phones come with crappy camera but the Inspire is excelent in outdoors and very good indoors, the double LED flash works like a charm. It also comes with face recognition. More important there are some fascinating ROMs for the Inspire. The best you can get is TB Fusion 1.9 that's Gingerbread with Sense 3.0 weather, lockscreen and SMS. Works blazing fast and is very very stable.
I'm still waiting to see some familiar faces on the Inspire forum. You won't regret it

actually you will soon see me in inspire forum.. just bought an inspire 4g from ebay..
but i was looking at those rooting methods for inspire, and all those gold card, load radio stuff is freaking me out, i hope its easy..

I'm going on a full year with my aria. That is a first. Usually have changed 4 times or more by now. Would love a bigger robust phone but aria fits the bill. Perfect size, gym and running friendly package! Glad your liking the inspire and happy at&t is getting better with the android line. An Aria 2 would sway me from my Aria!!!

Just use attn1's HTC Inspire Hack Kit v11. The current version even creates a goldcard for you.
As for my year old Aria, I'll be getting my HTC Incredible S tomorrow.

Haha I'm going with the aria another year till contract is up but even then I might stay with it for a little bit after till the nexus 4 (hopefully).
Signatures are fancy.

I have a bit over a week with this lil ballsy phone, still will work on my kernel as much as I can
Getting an infuse, see if I can do a little work over there

Ah cool. A good friend of mine just bought an Infuse, and he loves it. I played with it for a while, and it seemed plenty snappy and like most of the bugs in the SGS series have been worked out. Good luck with it!

No, I got a Candanian NAM version off of ebay. My wife has had an EVO for almost a year and I just couldn't get use to a 4.3 inch display like the EVO/Inspire has. The Incredible's 4 inch screen should be just about right.

Buying an EVO--Seeking Advice

Hey,
I have a samsung epic right now, and I'm interested in buying this evo someone offered to me. I would only be interested, however, if this phone was able to be rooted. How can I check if it is possible or not?

If its running android 2.3.3 and when you load into the bootloader it says "s-on" next to the radio version then its not rootable yet.

Thanks man, really appreciate it.
Also, if it wasnt able to be rooted, I read on the news that HTC was going to release a universal unlocker for the newer phones, will they also release one for the EVO?

The general consensus is that they will not be unlocking older phones so as to encourage consumers to buy the newer ones.
EDIT: There is always of course the possibility that an independent developer will find an exploit and give us the ability to gain root access to our phones. Some devs are known to be working on this now. There's no guarantee of course, but there is hope for those of us who were feeling hopeless.

OK, so the phone has android 2.2, so I automatically assume it can be rooted. Now, can someone recommend me a good rom? I know about cm7 and miui, but what do the devs here have to offer?

I really liked Deck's ROM; lightweight, few issues; great battery life when combined with Tiamat 3.3.7. It's basically CM7 with a lot of the extra clutter (language packs, etc) removed. It looks and acts almost exactly like Android on the Nexus S.
That was my daily driver. I also really liked playing with Synergy; it's feature-packed and has a lot of bells and whistles, and is a fun toy. I didn't like it for daily use, though. I am really into the KISS philosophy when it comes to my smartphone.

And what about kernels? Is there a good choice of kernels to sift through, or for the most part do the roms already come with the best kernel for the job..?

Well that's a question that is dependent on a few things:
Do you prefer physical or virtual keyboards?
Is the loss of a nicer screen worth a bigger screen?
The Epic could be a great phone if it had the developer support that the Evo had/has.
They don't even have an AOSP ROM.

YES, trade, then load synergy rls1, then freedom kernel, for root use unrevoked,

Yeah, I could get by without a keyboard, but i'm just iffy

My personal opinion is that developer support is what makes the phone.
The Epic has a better core for performance and for battery.
If I recall correctly the GPU is better too.
The screen is nicer.
The keyboard sucks [because I hate physical keyboards]
But the developer support, comparative to the Evo, is nil.
Now, there have been signs of an increase in support but with the SGS2 coming it's hard to say how much will come to the Epic itself.

I actually just came from an epic to the evo since mine was stolen (which really sucked I loved that phone) but with the evo I've never looked back. I really liked the physical keyboard since I'm not a fan of soft keyboards but swype and mods alongside a much larger screen make up for it. Speaking of the screen, its no super amoled but its definitely one of the nicest I've used and and the phone overall is just beautiful. Battery is about the same for both in my experience. But like others have said the evo has MUCH better developer support. I remember I was using frozen syndicate Rom 1.2 before my epic was stolen ( back in end of may/ beginning of June) and they still didn't update I believe. Plus Samsung still hasn't released gingerbread for it and its being discontinued October I think. So all in all you should trade for the evo, definitely much better software support especially for a phone reaching its EOL, not to mention hardware (i.e. cases) Plus sense is just great

My Mytouch 4g for Htc sensation

Is there a way I can make this happen (trade) ?
Ginger 2.3.4 S=Off No Root

wrong place to put this...
all trades go to the market section.
but, in my opinion, yes
the MT4G is one beast device, i would suggest you keep it. it definitely won't lose to the sensation.

Sorry and I just like the 4.3 screen the.sensation has
Ginger 2.3.4 S=Off No Root

Ha. Ill trade you for your MT4G and 500 bucks so I can buy another Sensation. The MT4G sucks compared to the Sensation.

LOL your wrong. i had my MT4G rooted and i was curious at the tmobile store, so i did a quadrant race with the sensation they had there. MT4G had the better score
though i do agree, the 4.3 inch screen and duo core processor on the sensation is great. plus, it has an 8 megapixel camera. but all in all, the MT4G can't lose to the htc sensation.

There is no ROM in the world that could make the MT4G even close to the Sensation. A stock Sensation is better then the best rooted and rommed MT4G. Im not trying to be a douche but its true.

Why is this guy even trolling in the MT4G forums anyway? The Sensation is not a great phone. If you upgraded to the sensation from a MT4G you are a fool. There are so many phones on the verge of release that make the sensation look like sh*t. Glad I waited!!

Why does it show an htc sensation in the list of devices when you're running a quadrant on a sensation?
That tells me you're also rooted and overclocking, rooted and using a custom rom or you're showing quadrants of a different device.

I never claimed that the MT4G was a better phone. I will however say that it was not a good enough upgrade to switch when the sensation came out. There are sooo many phones coming out this month alone that crush the sensation. So congratulations, you had the best phone on T-mobile for about 2 hours.

The HTC Amaze 4G is dropping soon. And that phone kills the sensation in my book.
