I lost my rooted Aria with Froyo 2.2 and all the good stuff on it. What i got as replacement from insurance already has android 2.2.2 installed. Can u imagine how painful it is? i m keeping an eye on this thread and this webpage.. If anybody has any other news or any means by which i could get rid of at&t bloatware and to be able to install 3rd party apps, i would greatly appreciate that..
Well you can follow this link they have found a way to install 3rd party apps on unrooted phones. hope it helps till the s-off comes our way.
When did you get your replacement Aria? I thought AT&T's insurance replacement had been bumped to the Captivate.
If my aria becomes unusable, will the captivate be the replacement?
I just ordered a replacement aria from asurian. should be coming in the mail soon. they told me it would be a refurb aria, but I can hope it will end up being a captivate. doubtful...
@ E.Cdro: thanks a lot, i will look at it.. something is better than nothing
I just got my phone 4 days ago from asurion. yes it is a refurb aria.. i dont think they r giving away captivate for aria yet..

Haven't had the chance to get to radio shack. I did call them up and asked them to hold one for me. Even though my new Aria is on 2.2.2 and I am stuck with an un-rooted sense, it's less painful being able to use the trick to allow installing apps from unknown sources, so I still have some decisions to make---be cheap and go for the amazing deal of the $29 Inspire--or future-proof myself and wait for the SGS II.
i thnk the 29$ deal will work only if u r eligible for an upgrade.

That thing blows the iphone 4 away as far as specs go. Its screen is an inch bigger than the ip4, twice as much ram, and a dual core faster processor. And a much better camera. Sounds more like this phone is going to be direct competition to the sgs2 and iphone5.

This happened to me too I'm so sad. The microphone on my old aria decided to crap out and now I'm stuck with a refurb 2.2.2 aria. I hope someone can figure this out soon...
I guess I'm one of the lucky ones as far as warranty goes. After having WM phones for a few years I got my Aria in Feb. Actually wanted a 4" phone but decided to get this (happy now that I did) and wait to see what comes out. Almost 30 days to the day I noticed that the antenna on the back cover was coming loose on one of the corners. This is after I was already rooted and flashed a couple different roms! So, I'm thinking the chances of getting a replacement back cover are slim to none and I'm going to end up with a phone that can't be rooted or have to live with possible antenna issues. I call AT&T, they have someone call me. After a couple phone conversations and an email update I get a new back cover in the mail a week later. Amazing!!! Maybe the fact that I've been with AT&T about 12 years helped!

Hi all,
First post, but I've been lurking for a bit.
Anyway, I just got my Hero with Sprint about a week ago and am running DamageControl's current ROM. It's a killer phone, but from what I understand the Droid has more processing power. I've got another 3 weeks to give back everything and get free Droids with Verizon.
I know this is a Hero forum, but I wondered if anybody knew of a "benchmarking" resource for all Android phones.....
thanks!
PS You guys are amazing! I can't believe the amount of product that comes out of this board.
as we all know, the hero was obsolete was 6 months before it came out. youll go broke trying to keep up. save up your months with sprint and get the evo when it comes out, you wont regret it ;-)

i like the hero and am willing to stick with it until the evo, and as for whatever comes out after that...i dont know. (android, htc, ect) will eventually release their own iPad, im sure, but i guess its a matter of what YOU want. i got a great plan with sprint (54$ for unlmtd everything) with great coverage (detroit it a major city, its bound to be set up good for the 3G user) and a highly customizable phone to say the least (ill admit i was disappointed when i got the hero, learned of the nexus and all the new upncumins) and am excited to move onto the evo, and can wait patiently.
well, idk about patiently...but ill be waiting...

I was able to see the evo up and running the other day.... WOW. Slim and sleek and very fast... took about a 1/3 or less of the time it took the Hero to open stuff. It was running on 2.1 as well and look really similar to Damages 2.1v5 ROM. This handset is going to really help out Sprint. Only thing the one I saw lacking was they hadn't activated the 4g on it yet.

Yeah, after studying competing prices, I don't know that I could stomach what everybody else is charging. I just don't get how anybody is competing with Sprint at this point!
I'm paying $129 -%15 for two lines, 1500 minutes, web, txt, and mobile-to-mobile. ANYBODY else charges $40-80 a month more!
I guess it's good for us they're so desperate for customers
PS I'm curious as to the price of the EVO. Any guesses?

At least until the next android update (Froyo) is out. I believe Froyo is supposed to support 4G natively
haha, yeah it does. they had it on another phone of theirs in the past (winmo). I wonder what video formats will be supported natively. I hope they add .avi support.

Ok So I just sold my Nexus and my Vibrant got here today.
I love it. There is a lot to love about this phone.
First the screen is amazing.
I love how the phone is light yet solid.
I think what I really most about this device is that if it breaks I can take it to a store and get it replaced. With my Nexus if something went wrong, I had to send it in to HTC and wait for them to send it back, me phoneless the whole time.
I have yet to notice the lag issues others complain about and I don't miss the trackball or the camera flash at all.
Clockwork is getting a recovery going and Wes Garner is Deving for it.
All is well in the world of Vibrant and I have not a single regret!
Awesome welcome aboard

Welcome to the Vibrant side! I'm still having a hard time selling my 3 week old Nexus One I only used it for 2 weeks worth. Never hacked or Rooted, and I have no bites. Oh well.... If I can't sell it I guess I now own 2 badass phones?

Well I bought the Vibrant on day 1 of release..still have my N1, have a MyTouch Slide (my daughter is using it) and still have my G1 as well. I guess you can say I'm an Android phone collector. Whatever this "super phone" is that's rumored to be coming out in September..if its running Android I will add it to my collection as well.

+1 can't get over the speed .. and the screen is like
I still have my N1.. It is sitting in my car in my cool N1 car kit... I use it as a GPS and movie player for the kids... I am still up in the air on which phone I like better..
the Samsung because of the screen.. the N1 because of the trackball and 2.2...
I think the biggest selling points for me were:
TV out
In store customer service.
The screen.
That being said the N1 is an awesome device but right now is the time to sell it and it still have some resale. With Google Washing their hands of it, I fear what the Support will be like. I also like the dedicated GPU in the Vibrant and believe that once Wesgarner and company get CM 6 on it, it will be the fastest damn thing out there, till that dual core HTC Monster hits, anyway!
Was wondering if we could get some of the top devs to chime in on what is the next device they are going to move on to now that the Evo has gotten a little long on the tooth. I'm on the fence on what my next phone is gonna be. Evo 3D or Galaxy S II. I'm partial to the GS II. The specs sound incredible but don't want to get it & have no Dev support. Case in point, the Epic. I've heard from Myn personally & he's on board with the 3D & I've heard through the grapevine that Aamikam is too. So what about Calkulin, toastcfh, flipzmode, ViRuS, netarchy, and others. Sorry if I left anyone out but those are off the top of my head.

Well I my upgrade came June 4th so I can grab the 3D on the 24th or wait for the Within whenever it get released. I'm trying to narrow it down because last year I bought the Evo on release date and purchased the Epic a few months for my second line. I walked around with both for months but rarely used the Epic. It was an alright phone, and spec wise it was better than the Evo but the devs are what really made the Evo for me. That and the fact that I despise TouchWiz with all of my being. Finally got rid of that second line and trying to make a good decision. Want to get the Evo but pound for pound the GS II is the champ. To me the dev support is gonna be the final decision maker. I'm a flash-a-holic and I need my fix for new and different roms.

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I know that this question has already been asked before, but I am too lazy to search for the thread.
No, I would not go out of my way to upgrade and/or replace my phone just because it doesn't have root unless an easy way to do so presented itself. I would prefer to have a rooted phone, but since I will likely be waiting for a new generation (i.e. not this current refresh cycle, including the EVO 3D, Photon 4G, etc.) of phones before I do a replacement, any new phone I get will probably not be rooted right away (or if I get an iPhone, the issue becomes moot) so it makes no difference to me.
If I get an Android phone the next go-round, it will almost certainly be an HTC. Aside from the fact that I just like their form factor and think they make quality phones, they seem to have the support of a large portion of the dev community so whatever the FOTM HTC phone is will be what I get.
That Photon looks pretty fancy.
My wife got the photon and it just seems generic to me. All the widgets are plain Jane...I guess I've just grown acustomed to sense..

Which is already confirmed to not currently support the EVO 4G, nor is there a projected timeframe for when it might. Most of us assume it never will, because HTC wants to encourage people to upgrade.

Nah, I just got this phone at the end of June when Sprint was allowing 2 year upgrade resets. LauncherPro Plus allows me to hide the bloatware in the app drawer, and it runs really smooth for being stock.
If I get bored I could always activate the HTC Touch or Touch Pro, I regret trading in my Moment though; Still quite a bit of development going on with it.

I have actually been honestly taking a hard look at their newest QNX operating system and thinking about whether or not that would be something I could see myself moving towards. I have a BB for work and while it's substandard compared to my EVO (a lot of the reason is that the BES settings for government phones are very restrictive and lock out a lot of features) there are some things that just can't be beat about it. For example, I haven't plugged it in to charge it for three days and it's still got almost 75% of its battery left, and I get a lot of emails and phone calls at work.
I don't know. It would be a hard sell, but I have been thinking about it.

Actually I got my vibrants bogof from Tmobile so it was 2 for $149. For that price I'm pretty happy with what I got. I could understand somebody that got it full retail or at launch day at full price feeling like they were shafted though.

Since im on an old em+ plan that doesnt cover subsidized phones, i paid full price for my vibrant. Barely had that phone for a year and i fully blame tmobile for the piss poor support. Never again. Im much happier now with my galaxy nexus.

I got my 2 phones during the valentines special for free. I love this phone thx to XDA, CM and now ICS Passion. Updates from TMO or Samsung? That ship has sailed... a long time ago.
I don't worry about that anymore, CM7 is running just fine, lets get some bugs out of Passion and we are good to go.

Hope you never have to call 911.
On a side note, why isn't there a way to unthank a post? Damned thanks button needs to be somewhere else, I'm used to the quote button being on the end.

My Vibrant will serve as my music and video player when I get my GSM Galaxy Nexus next week. Vibrant = Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0.

I presume you mean "fine, except for the fact the GPS doesn't work, and you can't call 911?"

Not sure what your issues are, but my phone has pretty good GPS AND I can use 911 just fine, the 911 "issue" has been blown out of proportion
