Is this a good deal? - G1 General

Looking for an older Android phone as a standby, and stumbled into this
ad. It seemed like a crazy deal to me. Are these people just crazy or is this about right?

seems legit but dont have them ship it... go get it in person and make sure they turn on and can possibly boot in recovery with them!!

Yeah I decided to pull the trigger. Phones are in great shape, everything works on both. It was just an older couple who switched carriers. I am pretty pleased with the deal.

I just bought an Aria.

Just thought you guys should know. I'm on T-Mobile and use a Vibrant but I'm really digging the Aria's build and form factor.
Any suggestions for...anything?
I just got mine this week and love it! You're probably more advanced than I am though, since I'm guessing you have Android experience prior to the Aria... I'm coming from a Moto RAZR 2!
Currently loving LauncherPro (Plus) and Extended Controls. Those are the only 2 apps I've paid for so far.
I'm using my aria on T-Mobile and works good. No 3g in my area so no big loss for myself.

I've had mine for about a month now... I love this little phone! Much more than any iPhone or BlackBerry I've previously owned.
(I'm an admitted phone junkie.)
Think this is a nice post to share with other new aria users. I myself am a new aria user, its also my first android phone (on s sony eriscsson previously). Loving it so far but am very curious to know it inside out.
Any idea which features are androids n which are htc sense?
Thanks!
to the OP - I have a galaxy s right now and am thinking about moving into a Aria, how do you feel about moving from the vibrant to the Aria?
Well i'm a newbie to the aria and androis os myself, but u should definitely get the XDA app to easily access the forum and get this cool sig below!

Think It's a nice bit of kit too. Customer brought one in to have the digitizer replaced.. Just spent an hour and a half trying to get the new one to sit properly.. On really close inspection, the replacement (customer supplied) is almost 2mm broader..All,.
Not fishing for business, but just a heads up to anyone that's planning on a DIY digitizer repair.

Evo for your nexus

Does anybody want to trade their Nexus S 4G for an Evo 4G? Thought I would ask...gf likes the nexus better because it's smaller. Evo is mint btw.

As much as I love my NS4G, I would be willing to trade it for a EVO in a few months, based on these things:
If there isnt any sort of update to address reception issues.
If the Photon's bootloader is locked
How many issues the 3D ends up having.
I obviously dont want to take a step back going to the EVO, but I really dont want to be stuck with a POS either. I have a sprint tower a few blocks from my house and have to have my airave plugged in for my phone to work in my house. Thats unacceptable. I was a little more ok with it a few weeks ago when I figured an update would be right around the corner. Every day that goes by makes me doubt that it is anything an update can fix. I really want the Photon, I love Moto devices. I had the Droid 2 and the Droid X and both were very solid phones with great radios and battery life. I expect more of the same from the Photon. But if its locked I dont think it will work for me. The 3D will be a buggy device for quite a while and I dont really want to deal with that, I just sold my Thunderbolt because of the issues it had.
I guess my point is to be patient, someone will want to make that trade eventually, maybe with some cash included also
A tree took my cable wire out yesterday. I had no internet, so no airave. Well, my NS4G was completely useless til they came and fixed the internet. I had to sit outside to use the phone. Wouldn't even send a text.
You sure you want this phone?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
I too have noticed slightly lower signal reception... however at work I would be stuck on 1x or no service on my EVO... with the NS4G I always have service, even if it's roaming.
Yea, don't get me wrong, I live in a basement apartment so every phone sucks down here. But I didn't have the airave til about a week before I got my NS4G and my Evo and epic both worked, the Evo better than the epic. NS4G won't work at all down here. I left for work this morning and got flooded with emails and text messages that weren't coming through because I had no service.

4ton4g

My current gf's upgrade is due and she's elgible for the phone surprisingly! I was considerng dropping my sexy, gorgeous, fantastic, amazing epic 4g on her and taking off with the 4ton4g! I played around with it a bit yesterday at the sprint store and I literally jizzed in my briefs!(false story) I'm strongly considering taking it though! Has any one played around with it as of late? First impressions?

I have had it for 3 days and love it. But you should look in the photon 4g section, and read the forums there. That's where you will find the most info on it. And yes its a bad Mopho!

Eh, personally the underwhelming Tegra 2 and locked bootloader ruined it for me. If it had the OMAP 4430 like the rest of MOTOs new "Droids" I'd give it a try.

I don't know if I would call the phone 'ugly' but it's certainly different. The screen...well, no one can really compete with Sammy's screen, let's get real here. Locked bootloader = fail IMO. I know, I know, there's an update that supposed to come out and unlock it, but when? Has there been an actual announcement date on it?
I was seriously considering the Photon because of impatience with the SGSII, but knowing the bootloader is in fact locked, and with hope of Nexus 3 coming in a few months, I'm going to skip on the Photon personally.
I hope it's a rockin phone for those that get it, I just won't be one of them.
locked bootloader = fail
I literally just got mine in the mail the ups guy just knocked on the door I'm about to open it up now......gotta love working for a third party sprint dealer. Korey has it and loves it. Unfortunately only way to root right now is having the media dock which is 100 bones but I'll let you guys know tomorrow how I actually feel about the phone.
Gonna miss my keyboard but I'm going to keep my epic for dev/testing purposes.....
I don't know display is really pixelated and lock bootloader sux
I honestly could not buy it. My epic right now runs smoother. Just based on the reveiws the galaxy s2 is much better than the other duel core phones.

Tradeing phone for different phone need opinions

So my aunt offered me a mytouch 4g for a vibrant. Should I do it? And if not what phone should I try to trade for. I love my vibrant but I kinda want a new phone. I switch phones like once every 3 months
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Screw that phone. I wouldn't do it.
If she's willing to propose that trade, that proves she doesn't love you. Lol
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Mt4g=180 on craigslist
Vibrant=150(that's being generous)
So if you really switch every three months, the mt4g is worth more to you. Also they're not as bad as people make them out to be.

myTouch 4G has more development plus you have the CHOICE of running Sense which is a really good UI on a well built ROM. That being said, you should read a bit about the good screen / bad screen issue on the myTouch as well as the good EMMC chip / bad chip as well to make sure you get a good model.
What i see Vibrant over it is the super AMOLED, better GPU, and ICS Passion ROM, and myTouch has 4G, camera flash, FFC, and better build quality.
Both phones are good, just determining what trade offs are best for you. good luck

IMHO, if you are going to trade, make sure you are getting something that really will be different. Does it have features you want, what are the differences? Is it an upgrade, or is it just a different phone?
For me I have waited a LONG time since the vibrant came out before I really found a phone worth upgrading to. I want the HTC amaze 4g. Many more features, dual core, ffc, better camera, dedicated camera/video buttons, NFC.. the list goes on. For me it is a phone that will take better advantage of ICS, and should get an official ICS update. The downside is that there isn't a whole lot of development.. yet. But it is a new phone, so that will come in time(and I even hope to make some development offerings once I get one)
So what are you looking for in a new phone, because unless the mytouch 4g has some feature you want that the vibrant doesn't have, you are trading a very solid phone for.. just another phone.

So long Evo 4G. :(

I'm on a family plan and they are switching to at&t so I gotta follow. I was wondering what the beat phone from them is right now. I love my evo. It has been nothing but good to me. I want a phone similar. I was think the HTC one x but it doesn't have a removable battery.
So what are your thoughts? What's the best phone from AT&T right now for the Evo 4G loving flashaholic?

One X bro I used one today n I fell inlove with it, though Classic EQ preset sounds better than the famous Beats Audio preset on stock music player, let down.... anyways u also got the Vivid or Inspire if ur an HTC lover, though with the One X I personally wouldnt consider any of them and the X's battery is great according to some ppl, though no SD card slot is another let down....

The non removable battery isn't a deal breaker believe it or not! Just look at most tablets........they got a set combo that you can press if you get stuck in a bootloop or whatever
I would go with the one x if I was on At&t BUT that's just me.............shop around that's my advice to you dude! At the end of the day, we're not the ones that are going to be stuck with that phone....is YOU! I could tell you get this, get that BUT you got to like it........everything else is a matter of opinion!
GOOD LUCK!!
Awesome thanks for the fast responses. And that was my big worry with the removable battery that I wouldn't have any option if I got in a boot loop or a rom acts funny and I need to hard reset. If there is a hard reset feature then I think I'm sold. But I'm still not sure lol.

Galaxy Note
I got an evo when they first came out and have flashed everything to it. My HTC EVO 4G(I love saying it) has been an incredible phone but I recently upgraded to a Galaxy Note and I Love it. Its huge just like the evo used to be huge but I am used to it now and all phones feel tiny. The pen believe it or not is actually pretty useful, its fun to draw with but I also take a lot of notes and it has helped me out immensely with my business.
Yes its a tad slower than the htc one x and I do miss sense, but I need me an ext sd and removable battery. If i didn't like options i'd get an iphone. whats up with that HTC? that's seriously the reason I went with the Note.
but I recently bricked/semi bricked/softbricked my Note upgrading to ICS and that sucked but I fixed it and finally got the new official ICS and cannot be happier. I installed nova launcher over crapwiz and now im in heaven.

My debate is pretty much between the One X, The Note, and an iPhone...I know. Its sad I'm thinking ios over android. I'd regret it alot later but its an option.
But with the Note, I heard that the hardware Samsung uses on there android devices is pretty crappy like its built out of cheap parts.

I heard that too, but I dont think mine feels cheap at all the build quality is good and the parts on the inside dont feel too quick. Sometimes i cant believe how much faster it is than my EVO. I am able to run anything like grand theft auto really smooth. I do have the international version which is faster that the ATT version so that kinda suck for the OP.
and the new evo doesnt have that feel of being or having something that no other phone has. When the OG Evo came out it was one of a kind nothing could compare to it. The Note is the only phone that really stands out to me, More than the Galaxy s3 since its a bit similar to the htc one x.
Thats just me though, I like big phones. and i cant stress this enough that you do get used to the size unless you have small hands but my 8 years old niece can use it just fine.
i left to AT&T for the galaxy note - if you have LTE in your area it is SICK!
