Hey all
Someone gave me a Verizon Galaxy S. Is this a fascinate??
Anyway, I'm in the UK and this thing is CDMA :-( Any suggestions of what to do with it?
Yes it is. I would root it and unlock it if possible. The i would install a custom kernel and rom.
Btw i have a tmobile galaxy s, but the things you can do should be the same.

How do you guys know it's a fascinate from that small amount of info? There are a lot of Galaxy S variants.

Because he said "Verizon Galaxy S" , so it must Fascinate
For OP : I live in Southeast Asia and im using Fascinate, just unlock the device and then inject with my local carrier (CDMA for sure), voice, sms, and data work perfectly.
Woah, Wait up guys, you seem to have forgotten something!
The Fascinate is not the only Galaxy S phone on Verizon! The Samsung Continuum (Crappy in comparison, no AMOLED) is also labeled as a Galaxy S!
OP, take off the back cover and take out the battery and tell us what is says for model, if it says SGH-i500 it's a Fascinate.

I'm going to do the same thing I do with all of my other phones...use it . As far as making reach its full potential, I'm waiting for a bad ass custom ROM to surface. Once the boards are riddled with new ROMs that really push this hardware, thats when my fun really begins. For now, I'm going to run stock for a couple months to give the development community some time to cook up some awesomeness.

I really like JBs new style, and Google Now looks great. If there is a nexus device based on this hardware that would make an almost native porting environment I would be crazy happy!! A guy can dream can't he?
I would have bought a GNex but this hardware is just in another league,

What case are you planning on buying? My sister wants to put on a cell phone charm as well, but the only cases that have a cutout for the lanyard are Samsung cases that we've found so far.
Actually...I liked "Take over the world"
Buying more accessories for it than I need. Cables, cases, batteries, chargers, screen protectors, etc... till I figure out which ones I like best and use most often, then the rest will stay in a box as spares.

Anyways..the phone itself was very nice looking. I love the weight. This phone has some good weight to it because of the aluminum body. The camera was pretty damn amazing and the HTC Zoe feature was pretty cool.
Anyone else get their hands on it yet?

Can i ask how u got your hands on one in the US ? Not that I don't believe u ..I'd just love the opportunity lol
Was it a 32 or 64 gb model?
Any carrier branding? If so, where?
Yes please, us U.S. people would love to check it out haha.

I got to play with it today as well, the display is amazing! Don’t like that their isn’t a removable SD slot... You cant remove the ZOE, but you can change the home page.
It looks like a solid phone and definitely a better upgrade to the htc onex :good:

I got to play with it as well. This phone is pretty sick. The camera is pretty awesome. The zoe feature sold me. You can basically create a movie with it. Lol. The phone is smooth and very responsive. The blink feed is nice as well. The front facing camera is best I've ever seen. It has the capability to be used as a tv remote. The aluminum body felt great and not cheap in the hands. I have the note 2 and think I will buy this phone as well. The list of new features goes on and on. If they can get proper advertising, this phone will be a great success for htc.

Can you comment about multitasking?
Sent from my DHD
Hi I have the iPhone 5 with iOS 7.
I completely hate it.
I'm stuck between the s4 and the htc one.
played with both today the s4 seems kinda "plasticy" and the htc one reminds me of the iphone build and the htc one in black is hawt.
why should i buy the s4 over the htc one?
i plan to root / custom rom the s4 once an exploit is found.
thnx
If you drop the S4, it bounces. The One will dent and put pressure on the screen and buttons if dropped causing more possible damage. I suggest a case for either one. The S4 has a larger more vibrant screen. A 13 megapixel camera vs the Ones 4 mp camera. Yes they say ultra pixel but it just takes pics with bigger pixels. Its a load of crap if you ask me.

Same dilemma I had. Chose S4 easily tho because SD card support is high on my list of must-haves.
The need for this new device was due to frying the last phone and not being to access the built-in memory at all after. Altho nothing I cared for was lost since everything was on an SD card.

ViSiON-X the fastest stock out...

In case anyone else is wondering, there's an empty space between the WiFi indicator and Reception Indicator. Your eyes aren't playing tricks.
if I had to guess, it's the space to indicate LTE/H+/other icons related to the cell. It's an odd design.
This has been on moto devices since at least the RAZR m. Personally I hate it. Never seen that gap on any other phone except a Motorola.

Totally agree. The Verizon version probably won't have that, at least. In thinking about switching back to vzw from at&t. For other reasons.

Really? All you had to was wait for root and flash a rom that removes all the att mods.
Not as simple as waiting for root. As the at and t bootloader is locked

Yeah I know. He's even on reddit throwing his "expert" opinion out there and concludes the HTC One is still better, so this doesn't really come at a surprise that he returned it. Just stop posting here if you have nothing good to say. I know Att sucks, but the phone itself is great.
I honestly can't remember the last phone I had that didn't have the carrier at the top....is this a common thing? I thought all phones had carrier names at the top by the signal bars to let you know whose towers you're on?
The space is there to show emergency call only if you don't have sim in.

I hate the gap. That's a Moto thing tho. On the One, both the ATT logo fade away when you have notifications (which is a nice medium) and the LTE icon remains present even when on WiFi.

Definitely didn't call myself an expert. I may get the Dev or Google play version but hoping for a ROM with a tight locked boot loader is a no go.
