Sad day.. Had to move to verizon..lol

Well im not happy..but wife moved us to verizon ( work ) hate to leave sprint.. and my hero.. but no choice in the matter atm.. Wife rules...lol
Will stick around though.. The hero section is what made me stick around.. you guys rule.. Plus still have 2 hero's laying around to tinker with.. Or sale etc.lol
Anyway.. guess its on to the darkside ( verizon ) wish me luck.lol At least its not att and iphone's right!!

we will be moving to them as well this winter. what kind of phones did you get? i think you can put your hero on verizon as well so you know.

Verizon has some awesome phones.. IMO the Incredible is still one of the best balanced in terms of performance and form factor

Agreed, I'd love an incredible

Wife got 2 incredible's for a penny each.. They will arrive wed.. etc..
Really I can't wait.. cause like everyone has said its the perfect balance of size and performance...Lol few co-workers have EVO's And they are always asking me how to do this and that.. Got to admit the EVO is nice.. but still a tad too big for my taste.. 3.6 to 4 inch would be my max on screen size..
And fixxxer I dont care for moto. never have.. and never will. lol same with samsung.

Wow, nice, I'd love to have an Incredible, and I agree, I only like HTC Android phones

HTC is by far the best because of their overall build quality and support. Samsung and Motorola are both mixed in terms of which devices they support, and the pace at which they release updates. Some devices like the Behold II and almost all lower end Motorola phones get the shaft and hardly get any updates. Half of them are still at 1.5 or 1.6... but only the high end ones like Droid, Droid X, and Droid 2 (basically all Verizon ones) get satisfactory updates. I think Samsung is similar. HTC is much more consistent.
I don't think you'll miss the Hero at all, except for maybe the hardware buttons instead of capacitive buttons. But I tried out my friend's Incredible, and man was it smooth.. and it was the stock ROM

That is highly debatable with today's selection like the G2 and even the MyTouch Slide. Both keyboards are superior to the Droid's IMO.

Lol everyone has favorites. but myself really don't have too much time to invest in finding the perfect phone. Im sure the moto is nice. same for the epic's etc.. Hell even the iphone is nice to a degree.. The hero is just a phone.. but with it came this nice section on xda which to me made having and using it a joy.lol I always visit diff sections looking for themes and such.. But the hero section seems to have matured unlike other sections..
I almost feel like depressed. lol been with sprint since 97.. feels like a divorce..
I think the INC will be a nice phone.. once I strap my seidio 3500 mAh batt on it..

enjoy your new phone. hopefully when i move to verizon there will be a new webos device or a high end android phone.

I think the INC is pretty highend.. screen size aside... lol I mean its not a monster like the evo etc.. but spec wise should be alot better than the hero ive been running all year..
I mean outside of the few games.. wth would I need a dual core chip and a giant screens etc. for right now anyway? To open my email faster and see more of it,lol
Just joking of course.. but really the INC should keep me happy for awhile.. til i get bored...etc..

[Q] Atrix VS Incredible S

I just got the HTC Incredible S a week ago and while I was checking local ads online I saw that someone is willing to trade his Atrix for my HTC.
The Atrix specs seems to be great because of the Tegra 2 but then again the screen brightness and colors seems to be washed out compared to the Incredible Super-LCD. Also the Motoblur crap turns me off but either Sense or Motoblur it doesn't really matters because I use Launcher Pro. I know that the Atrix can be rooted and the Incredible can't (at least not when it's S-ON). I want to be able to use custom ROMS and be able to update to Gingerbread.
How is the Atrix on day to day use? How is the screen? Can we remove the crap that comes with the phone so it actually feels like a dual core? I really like my HTC and I don't want to make a bad move...

I personally recommend the atrix. I mean what does the inspire offer. The atrix does feel like a dual core.
Can't you return the inspire within 30 days of purchase?

Incredible s? Can u not read?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

Atrix has a higher resolution. More internal memory as well. 1930 mAH battery compared to the 1400. We'll get 1080p someday.
One thing to consider is the Atrix having an encrypted and locked bootloader.

i'd like to continue on this discussion... although not exatly the same situation...
i need to upgrade my htc legend with BELL and i have the choice of Atrix or the Incredible S...
Coming previously form HTC Touch where i first experienced Windows Mobile computing, the ability of changing ROMS, then ported ANdroid ROMS which imo the best experience of them all with all the hacking/mod abilities...
So now my only criteria is the phone must be an Android phone... because it has such a large user based and hacking community in general...My current HTC Legend, is a great phone especially after the Froyo update, very responsive but its lacking the storage capcity...
This is why i'm changing my HTC Legend which is still stock ... i read about rooting it but it was a bit too complicated to root it without going through hoops and loops . So I didnt bother... and im running out of space
I've read a few reviews about incredible and atrix... and although the atrix looks superior on paper... i wasnt impressed by the motoblur and the few videos i saw...
The Motorola Atrix hardware is futureproof but only if Motorola decide to release new upgrades to take advantage of the hardware... i heard some bad things that based on history, i shouldnt bet on getting upgrades... is this true? If i'm not getting the upgrades from Motorola, this is why i think the hacking community plays an important role to get the best out of this wonderful piece of hardware ( like the HTC Touch in its time ). Apart from the wonderful beedfed up hardware ... i havent seen anything good... in fact i saw a few threads about rebooting problems, issues...etc and bloatware , not being able to install non market apk and motoblur ( which i only saw in the 1st generation motorola blur in the android 1.5 phone cant recall the name of the phone)
The Incredible S seems to be a more stable phone and i personally like the SENSE UI and HTC in general. I havent seen a lot of negative reviews or problems. COming form the HTC family, i tend to trust it more than Motorola. The 8MP cam is a plus but the inability to root is sad... at least some dev are working on it ...
bottomline, i can live without rooting the IS in the short term or with a rooted stable Atrix which i can customize and change the UI to put something similar to the SENSE UI ( weather and launcher). is there such a thing?

[Q] HD2 or Sensation?????

Comrades,
I am coming to the end of my contract just in time for the Sensation..
I love my HD2 (android) but a few wee things annoy me like low call voice (switched on and off speaker, only works for that call) and battery drain.
Is the DFT or other Android ROMs as fast and stable as the stock HTC rom?
I know the phone will be faster but it won’t be long until the XDA chaps crack the new ROM and I can put it on to the HD2.

Sensation obviously, but i would wait for the gsmversion of the evo3d(if that one still comes)

I was excited about the sensation coming to t mobile as well..........
Until I saw the specs of the SGS2 and sensation side by side.
I hate sense (on android) and touchwiz but when you look at the specs against one another its ridiculous...
HTC really dropped the ball with the sensation and to be honest you'd be better off getting the Sensation from T-mobile selling it, buying an HD2 and have some money left over
Either that or an SGS2 (27th may on Tmo)
Edit;
lol if I'd actually paid attention when reading your post I'd have seen that you already have an HD2...
If its the newer version of sense you want then you'd be better with the sensation as its going to have the extra RAM to deal with the memory hogging abomination that is HTC Sense.....
(I hate sense, in case you hadnt noticed)

Sensation hands down!

As a Photographer
I would not get too bothered with camera MP density. The Iphones camera is **** hot @ 5MP.
The EVO 3D sound good, more RAM and a friggin 3D screen………..but the back of it is ugly.
If you wait for the next phone to arrive you would never have a phone. LOL.

Personally I'm going to keep my HD2 going until I find out about the SGSII coming to T-Mobile. I'm also due an upgrade and I just don't know if I want to use it on the Sensation with the SGSII out there. Luckily my HD2 does everything I need so no rush here. Will probably wait to see them both in person in a couple months. SGSII should be ROM'd by then and we will know more about Sensation and if can be ROM'd.

Well generally, custom roms are faster than stock roms. E.g. Our custom rom of the desire hd is faster than a desire hd running its stock rom. However seeing as the sensation is per say 2x the performance of the HD2, the sensation running on its stock rom will more likely be better than the HD2 running a custom rom based on the sensation.

dont know if the qHD 960x540 will be support in near future?
GS2 hardware is good with 1 gb ram, but dont how good is the GPU?

Yes the nexushd2-gingerbread v2.7 is fast,stable and next to boyppc-shiftpda gingersense.s v20 it is the best rom in my opinion

i know what you are going through... i love my HD2 but that Pyramid looks amazing in its own. What im doing is just keeping my HD2 and will put the ROM on it when a cook like Imilka figures out a nice port of it or the MyTouch 4G Slide ROM. Im always looking for the latest ROM on my phone and with the HD2 i can do that now. If i got the Pyramid I know i would be anxious for hacks to come for it. Once my HD2 craps out that would be my first choice because HTC makes a great phone, Im leary of Samsung because of all the update problems that happens with it so far on Tmo... Im actually trying out a EVO 3D ROM < Kingdom > now and its been running pretty smooth. Well hopefully this gives you some insight on your choice...

Lawl this update thing has become much too dramatic. xD
It's not samsung that's slowing down these updates or giving slow updates, it's the carriers. xD
Look at samsung, they released GB a month or two/three if you count the leaks. That's like the second or third phone to get GB officially, aside from the nexus one and nexus s? Which are google phones so of course they'd get it first. Samsung doesn't handle the updates for a T&t, verizon, sprint or t-mo, they don't. So they've done their job, it's all up to the carriers to finish this up.

thats only partially true..
the carriers do work with Samsung and Google to get out the updates but I work for Tmobile and its not an Over the Air Update on the Galaxy S phones. The updates are through a website that Samsung set up that you download it while synced to a pc and the updates so far have caused more bugs and headaches than they have been worth..
of course thats for peeps that wait for official updates, not for us who mod and use this site.
not saying by any means that its a horrible phone, just not my choice personally thats all...
everyone has thier own opinions and i have just always had great luck with HTC is all...

I would go for EVO 3D. Not only because it is better in everything compared to the Sensation and all that 3D bull****, but mostly because it looks fabulous. Best looking HTC ever in my opinion.

i would go for the Evo 3D aswell ,
apparently is will come to Europe , when it does , i'll be first in line to get 1

Also if you play games a Lot, then the Sensation is a better bet, the Adreno 220 is faster than the rest of the GPU's found in phones ...
regards.

Lawl where did you get that info bout the adreno 220 being faster?
The benchmarks of the 1.5ghz model? Mind you it's running a dual core 1.5 ghz, meaning two 1.5 ghz compared to a 1ghz/1.2ghz dual core. So what does that say?
Point being it was the 1.5 ghz model, not the 1.2ghz own, so we can't say which is better right now. Plus we have to remember the sgs 2 caps it's frame rate.
Anyways, as far as GPU's are concerned however, I'm pretty sure the power vr sgx543 is the best right now. Sad samsung didn't make that move.

Thanks chaps for your points, all valid.
SGS2 does look to have the hardware and i know i will up set myfellow Scot, but I LIKE SENCE...when i look at the screen it tells me what i need to know. then its back into the pocket..
I will now goto Tmob on 16th and haggle a free phone with more calls and data or threaten to leave..........wish me luck.
Thanks again.

[Q] I just upgraded to the Atrix 4G from a Captivate.

I had an upgrade so I upgraded to the Atrix 4G.
I had a Samsung Captivate before.
How does everyone like the Atrix?
I've read/watched reviews all over the internet but
I want to know what xda thinks of the Atrix 4G, as a communtiy.
Thanks everyone.

Atrix is great phone and now with bootloader unlock its even better.
Have a look around.
Search forums as 99% questions are already answered and its already got ics rom.
Enjoy your new puppy.

welcome to the atrix fam. this phone is a beast. i feel like with the proper tweaking our phone out performs all these newer phones. as stated search the forums for answers, becuz some of the people here are just lurking around waiting to flame you. lol. otherwise enjoy

Performance is great, functionality is excellent with blur ROMs. MIUI, or other CM7-based ROMs are getting there. Friend has a Sensation whom i play Parallel Kingdom with, I'm OC'ed to 1500MHz and he underclocks for battery, he has to plug into a charger looong before I do. Definitely the best balance of power, features, and efficiency out there at the moment.

The Motorola Atrix 4G is by far the most underrated phone that I have ever seen.
It is as powerful as the SGS2, has got many more options compared to other phones(Fingerprint Scanner and lapdock), it was the voted as the best phone of 2011 by CES. I don't know why it didn't sell like bread as it is an amazing phone.
I don't understand what people mean when they say that the SGS2's screen completely blows that of the Atrix out of water as my gf has an SGS2 and it is not true.
The only two disadvantages of owning the Atrix is that Motorola sucks at updates and there are not as many devs working on our Rome compared to other devices but our devs are really awesome.

awesome! thanks for the feedback! I'm really stoked for my phone to get here!
Should be here about Tues. or Wed. then the adventure will begin.
I have a little experience developing on the Captivate so I'm hoping the Atrix won't
be much more difficult.

I just joined the community, so I am a noob, but I love my Atrix. I have had it for about 8 months now, and finally found the courage to root/unlock and go to the darkside. Talk about taking something sweet and turning it up to 11...
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

I used to have a Captivate before I had to get the Atrix. I took a swim in a pool with my Captivate in my pocket and after a week or so of letting it dry it still worked for around 6 months. Then one day it just shut off while I was using it and it wouldn't turn back on anymore so I picked up an Atrix from Best Buy for $50. I really do miss my Captivate at times. The screen was amazing compared to the Atrix screen. I also liked how thin and light the phone was. The audio quality was great too with some tweaks. I've thought about getting the SGS2 but I just can't pull the trigger. The Atrix records audio really well when capturing a video. At concerts there's barely any distortion from bass or anything. The Captivate wasn't that bad after tweaks but I've seen some videos with the SGS2 and the audio is just horrible. Other than that, the Atrix is a great phone.

i have upgraded from the cappy to the atrix also but still have both and constantly switching back and forth although id say the cappy screen was better i still love the processor speed and camera flash, plus dual cameras! i hope we get more devs workn on more roms though. all in all its a good phone a nd has louder speaker volume than my cappy.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

I've registered just to say that the Atrix is an amazing phone and the CM team has made this phone even better than already is. I'd like to thank all the devs that have made this possible and are continuing to work on improving the phone's capabilities.

Atrix has supports similar to Captivate with added specification. Captivate has ICS (sweet if both will have) as advantage over Atrix.
I started reading this post and learned so many things immediately.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154600

I've been doing alot of reading and I'm pretty confident that dev-ing on the Atrix isn't gonna be too different from the Cappy so I'm pretty stoked for the future and glad to become a part of a great community.

Moving on from Hero to Evo 4G LTE

After 3 years, I think I am going to renew my contract with Sprint and get the HTC Evo 4G LTE. According to a pole here, it looks like 8 others of us are as well. Who's going? If you can but aren't, why aren't you?

I'm going.
I just flashed nfinitefx's Sprint RUU on my Hero to get reacquainted with Sense hahaha.

Happy for you guys. Im going to the GS3 just seems all around better, HTC has been dropping the ball lately and sense gets boring fast time to try something new. EVO LTE is ok but battery life and no removable battery, no sd card slot, and HTC just kills the phone for me.

I'm going as well. Hopefully they ship the preorders today.

The Evo LTE does have an sd card slot, and most of the (albeit early) reviews are reporting excellent battery life, in line with the other One X phones.

I was deciding between the GS3 and this phone.
I'm going to assume that the Sprint GS3 is gonna have the S4. If so, then the two things that the GS3 does better than the EVO LTE doesn't is the removable battery and a better camera.
The rest of the features of the S3 are gimmicky at most, smart stay is the only feature that I liked.
EVO LTE has better design, better screen, dedicated camera button (ME GUSTA), and a nicer UI.
But if Sprint gets the Quad-core version, then all bets are off D:

Interesting...first I considered the HTC EVO 3D, which many of us Hero's went to. Then I decided to wait for the HTC EVO 4G LTE, which I guess many of us are going to now too.

sorry to see you guys go, but hopefully if you still want to mess with your hero's from time to time there will be a group of us holdouts still working on things. i know ill be here until at least this coming fall when i get extra cash to buy a new phone.

How has HTC been dropping the ball? I have a friend with the Galaxy I (epic I think) and was super disappointed in Samsung support, and only relatively recently got cyanogen. Plus, I was planning on the galaxy nexus, but by the time it came to sprint, it was already old. Wouldn't be surprised if the S3 is the same. And obviously this hero has done well for me, and my friend's evo 3D is like a tank. Furthermore, I like HTC's gesture of allowing bootloader unlocking (not that I will use their's).
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA

Im not defending the Galaxy 1 but your talking two years ago the S2 has ICS. EVO3D was just an Evo with updated camera i know people who have a GS2 and EVO 3D and the GS2 beats EVO hands down. As far as support i have a lot of samsung products and never had a problem in that department. Support for my phone doesnt matter since im on here if i needed help with anything. Lets be honest most people getting the LTE are going to flash a new rom without sense anyway so why get a sense phone. Its nice and all but I like the less intrusive touchwiz. Just a matter of opinion if the S3 isnt quadcore then i might have to look at the EVO LTE

I'm seriously considering the new EVO LTE as well. My only concern is 1) Going back to Sense after loving aosp on my hero for the last 1.5 year and 2) the size of the phone.
I'm not sure there's any getting away from the phone size, though. The only other viable option in my mind is the GNex and its almost as big. As far as going back to Sense and not being able to flash ROMs right away, i'll just have to deal with that until some awesome dev on here figures out how to crack it. That's the main reason i'm still considering the GNex. The ROM options are already pretty sweet for that. But, it seems clearly inferior in most of its specs to the LTE.

I'm going. Will still pop in here every so often, though.

I woulnd't worry about the EVO LTE having a lack of developers. Most of the OG Evo devs (including some that used to be here) are definitely getting it.

Supposedly it isn't quite as bad - and from what I've seen, the UI is closer to stock than older versions of Sense, in a good way. On the other hand, there are still downsides to it, like the overaggressive memkill settings HTC put in, which make it tough to do true multitasking, along with the large - smaller, but still large - memory requirements. I've always liked Sense, though, and the memkill settings are easily fixed once root is attained.

I'm getting the EVO LTE, as long as Customs doesn't find heroin or anything in the shipment to further delay it. The Hero has been great. It was first Android phone so it will always hold a special place in my heart. But I've been ready for a "superphone" since a week after I bought my Hero. The EVO LTE is going to have top notch dev's, mod's, rom's and support. There is no question in my mind that EVO LTE community will out shine the GS3 community.

Yeah, I was anticipating the HTC EVO 4G LTE and I found out about the U.S. Customs delay. I was like oh no..., but now I find out that I have to wait longer because we're under some Sprint Wireless Advantage Club and it's essentially an employee account and they get phones a lot later to make way for customers...so I have to wait like a month or two. It depends. I can't wait until I can get the phone though.

I wish you all luck with the Evo LTE. One thing I noticed about people that buy HTC phones is that they seem to want to root and put AOSP on there HTC phones to replace sense . People do the same with samsung but not as much as large as HTC phone owners. Its as if you guys know sense is a memory hog and is pointless yet you'll still buy the phone.
I also am leaving the Hero but for the Galaxy S3, also the hero was my first android experience. Honestly sense has been around since windows mobile 6.1, but back then it was called touch flow. Not too much has changed just eats more memory now and looks a lot nicer. The battery life on these HTC phones is bad to simply put it and im not talking about people on these forums. I used an HTC sensation it went from 100% to about 30 in 4 hours. All im stating is a matter of opinion I could be wrong but thes are just my experiences with HTC.

Sense 4.0 is beautiful. I much prefer it over AOSP ICS IMHO. Even Sense 3.6 is aesthetically appealing. Not much of a lag due to the 1GB RAM in this phone. My battery life is wonderful and I spend all sending hundreds of texts a day, checking xda and constantly checking facebook.

I agree with dastin. Sense has gone through a lot of changes but it gets better with each version. I've been running Sense 3.6(Mean ROM) too on my evo 3D and it runs great.
