Well my trusty hero which I only had for a a couple of months bit the big one yesterday. I went to the Sprint Store to get another one and all they had in stock for Android was a Moment.
So I guess I won't be around here as much.
This community despite some squabbles is incredible. I've enjoyed and appreciated my time here and the help I got.
The moment isn't a bad phone, I just pretend I'm running DarchDroid.

Well we're gonna miss ya for sure! Hope you can deal with the Moment until you get our EVO (providing that is what you're going to next ) I know we'll see you around......
.....Now you should root the moment and port all our goodness to them You'll be a hero......haha.
The Moment was rooted before the official 2.1 was released. They have it easy. An earlier version of the Samsung software updater let you run unsigned tarballs. So you just use that to install a custom recovery and off you go.
btw, great reference for the title. was one of my favorite books WAAYYY before the movie, they did a HORRIBLE job with Zaphod
good luck you going to sdx?
I prefer to pretend that movie never happened.
Either of them.
Going to miss you gunnyman both here and Android central.. be well.

I'll be here at least until October.... upgrade date.
Argh I miss my Hero already. The themes, the ports of different roms. Just don't happen over there in SDX Land. Someone is working on a Sens UI port though. On the upside. Live Wallpapers work perfectly and so does the 3d gallery at the same time.

So wait they just gave you a moment instead, no questions asked? Im gonna try this today as my hero has been acting up and if i get a replacement it would be my 4th phone already. Sprint told me they hardly ever give you a different model phone.
Some of you may Know me, some of you Don't..
Just thought I'd say hello & make a Quick Post to let everyone know I'll Have the Vibrant soon & Hoping I can Add to the Community, along with Barakinflorida..
Currently I'm $70 away from getting my Phone, So hope to see everyone soon in the Dev. Threads...
Until then, Happy Developing

I've actually been using my Vibrant as my primary phone and loving it, Never thought I would like it as much as my Nexus one. Can't wait for Froyo..Video is real good for a phone.

Awesome! The only thing I hear bad about the Phone is Battery, but I can live with that small problem
My battery has been good I get at least a whole day with medium to heavy use.

My faithful Hero's quest ends today. I'll be retiring it to my dust shelf, or passing it along to my brother in law so his quest may continue. So many thanks to all the hard work you guys have put in to the Hero. You all helped me out a lot.

Nope...Epic 4G and/or Evo 3D
I've had a Hero for about 15 months and I'm thinking about moving on. One thing I simply cannot abide is the laggy touch and display response on all of these phones. I just watched the Evo 3D video from Engadget and was very disappointed by the slow response of the phone. That's exactly my problem with it. I want instantaneous reaction to the actions I perform. I want snappy response, not press the screen and wait several seconds for the command to be recognized (if it is recognized at all).
My Hero currently runs a freshly installed CM 7.02 (with all appropriate wipes performed) with very few installed apps. It's just slow. I learn to live with it and expect that type of sluggish performance, but it's still annoying. For anyone else who uses my phone, it's next to impossible for them to comprehend that commands aren't immediately translated into action on the phone, and it ends in them button pressing, getting frustrated, and putting the phone down or asking me for help. Sure, maybe they could be more patient, but they're also used to instantaneous response. That's what I want, too, and I'm waiting for a Sprint smartphone to provide that.
Any recommendations?

It's a great phone, since it's not weighed down by Samsung's awful software, but just too late to consider, as long as the 3D can be given the joy of CM.
Not as long as rom's are still being developed for the Hero.. Its all I need and I don't (anymore) get stuff because its new..or supposedly better.LoL. Hero does everything i need it to do...
Samsung and Motorola are dead in my eyes as far as cellphones go. The Evo 3D is the only viable upgrade.

Well, to be fair, despite any biases towards (well, against) the iPhone/iOS in general, it is very, very snappy and responsive.
No Android offering will be on par until it finally utilizes hardware acceleration, which I think SHOULD be in "Ice Cream". At least I pray it will be, as there is absolutely no reason for them to not finally implement it already. It's a little embarrassing that we are getting these dual-core beasts that still aren't quite as smooth as a year or two old iPhone... gah.

He could've explained his reasoning for just saying "get an iphone", which he did so no problems, but even if he didn't, just for future reference check the link below. I just read this thanks to il Duce and the OP of this thread and I now know to expect answers like the one you got earlier.

I appreciate your efforts to help me, but "this ain't my first rodeo." Or something. Certainly at some point it doesn't have to be hardware acceleration, right? Surely there is a decent multithreaded software solution for dual cores in the works, because this terrible lag is difficult to put up with. When I need the phone to work FAST, it works slowly, like when I'm driving and just want to scroll through contacts to make a call. Voice calling is not much of a solution. Yes, I call people when I'm driving. Sue me.

I'm not a newb. I've been doing PC stuff for ages. Hell, back in 1995 when Quake was the first internet server-based multiplayer fps game, we were making up this type of lingo and the typical responses. I was 20 then. The problem is, this guy was just being an unoriginal douche. He kangs his entire schtick. Meh.
Thanks, though. How about a suggestion for a SPRINT Android smartphone that doesn't suffer from these lag issues?
Hardware acceleration will help out a ton, especially since most non-low end phones made after the HD2 (yes, not an Android phone, but same processor/gpu has Nexus 1, EVO, etc) has a GPU worth a damn.

Wow man where did you find a Hero? I didn't know they were even selling these things anymore. Regardless, welcome to xda.
a little off topic, but ill still ask. i just got the nexus s a few hours ago. i know the nexus s gsm is rooted but is the nexus 4g rooted? and if so where can i find a guide? i have two that im looking at but there not for the nexus s 4g. just want to make sure if the rooting process is the same or not before breaking something.

What's up guys...Just thought I'd drop a line and let you know I'm excited to finally have an Evo. Unfortunately it's the 2.3.3 that I bought from a buddy on the cheap in mint condition so I didn't have to use an upgrade.
Had rooted and flashed the hell out of moment nonstop so I'm anxious to see the exploit soon for 4.24. I've been on the XDA community for a while now just reading as SDX would love to port over themes that you guys had over here.
Anyways, thanks for the knowledge I've already seen from the users in this community just by reading through so many threads you guys have put up.
Welcome. Former Moment owner here as well, also stuck with 2.3.3.

Sucks doesn't it? Man, I will say this, the devs for the Moment were awesome and they made the Moment 10x what it should it have been. That being said though, even a stock GB Evo kicks the **** out of it that's for sure.
But I loved my Moment strictly because of the guys at SDX and can't wait for the devs here to kick the door open on 4.24 so we can start playing again.
I agree. I enjoyed the Moment a lot but traded it toward this one when I was vacationing in Florida last month and could not get a gps lock to save my life. The last ROM I ran was Keylime. I see they ported a new 2.2 update for the Transform.
I had the worst luck with the moment. I went through three cuz theyre aweful phones with tons of glitches. Then they said they discontinued the moment so i got the intercept. Just as bad. Now im here with my wonderful evo

Fellow Moment owner/Dev here, too! Matter of fact, my old Moment just got sold by the guy I sold it to the other day, so it's still kicking. Most under appreciated phone ever.
It sucks you guys just coming onboard with the Evo are handcuffed with out root yet, but patience will prevail! And once you get it unlocked, be ready for a whole new world, compared to the Moment. Fortunately, a stock Evo is a hell of a lot better looking than a stock Moment!

Seriously? I think it's one of the worst I've owned. I'd rather have my TouchPro2. In fact, for a while I had both and often left the moment at home.
This thread brings a tear to my eyes. You mean, OP, that you actually took the time to read some of the information in our forums?
Hopefully we get more users like you in time. Welcome!

The Moment was hit or miss, but by under appreciated, think of any other phone that's been off the market for a year, and people are still actively dev'ing on it. I never had probs with mine. It was always good.

I have to agree. I love my Moment, it was just getting a little long in tooth. My son is currently using with DC13s ROM. The Evo is an upgrade though.
And OP, welcome to the Evo world. Be careful though. The otaku here are worse than the Apple fanboys.
Hell, I was one of the fortunate ones that had a Moment that didn't give me any issues. The only real issue I ran into was moving to 2.2 EB and losing my GPS capabilities. GPS always worked perfect when on 2.1 but that jump to 2.2 always killed my GPS period.
HipKat, I remember seeing you all over the SDX boards and there are thousands of your posts that helped me with my Moment, so many thanks for that.
GitHub, I remember seeing you on SDX as well and yes, I like to lurk and read before I post anything on boards. That being said, I knew the unfortunate circumstance of jumping to a 4.24 EVO even before I bought it, but as stated earlier, even a stock EVO is better than the maxed out Moment. But you DEVs over there at SDX made that phone astounding compared to what it was stock.
I'm just sitting like everyone else waiting for the geniuses to crack this 2.3.3 EVO....in due time.
TBH, I flashed back to my Stock/Rooted nandroid the other day, and it's not so bad, really. Of course, I was only there for a few mins to clear my GPS before flashing MIUI! lol
Glad I helped people out over there. Like here, I jumped in the pool headfirst!
Ditttto. Former moment here man name was Sgtstew76 over yonder at sdx. Man welcome over bro, GREAT PEEPS HERE IF you search before posting lmmfao.....
Hey are u rooted on that thing? Oh no...... well sit back and hold yer breath like the REST OF US......
I am still over at SDX but use the handle DarkPhoenix. It was already taken here it seems, so I used my secondary handle.
SHIPPING OUT TO CHAD THE PATHFINDER. Damn, that was quick.
So I finally took my upgrade and got the Photon. Happy with it so far, gotta say having a faster processor and ICS is a huge plus. Seemed my Shift just couldn't keep up with me anymore. Wanted to say thanks to the forum for all the help the last two years and for keeping the internet bull**** to a minimum. Made it pretty enjoyable here.
I also want to offer my Shift to any dev who needs one for development. Sprint only offers $30 so I'm more than happy to give it to someone who can actually make use of it. Works fine on, MikShifted at the moment.
Thanks again.
