So Long, DInc-ers - Droid Incredible General

I have had my Droid Incredible for about a year and a half now. It has served me very well, having about a dozen different ROMs on it during that time.
This past week, the Big Red emailed me telling me I could upgrade early for a 4G phone and save an extra $100 bucks.
So I have officially ordered my Droid Razr Maxx, and it should be here on Friday. As much as I have loved my DInc, the battery life on it is absolutely horrendous. I can't make it to 4:00 (barely using it) before it's down to 20%. Also, the magnetometer had stopped working completely, the GPS only worked sometimes, and the screen has started malfunctioning.
As much as I will miss this phone and all the people in this forum, I am excited to get my Maxx.

I may just see you around in the MAXX forums then
I just gave up my dINC to my little sis to use as an ipod type thing. I had to give it a good couple of weeks before we departed, but I knew it was the right decision.

well I realistically had no real use for it now with my new phone. My sister will find better uses for it, so it still has a long life ahead for itself. It'll bring a tear to my eye every once in a while to know my baby is no longer with me, but I'll manage.
btw my little sis is 16 and loves the phone.
maybe one day she will pass it down to her children.. and then their children after that

[Q] I hate my Droid X, want a Droid Incredible instead....

so here is the situation. at first, i wanted to buy a Droid X but they were all out of stock at the verizon store near me, so i left with a droid incredible instead. but surprisingly for me i liked the incredible a lot more then i expected that i would. and i used my incredible for a few weeks but then i started noticing the speaker on the front wasnt working right, it would make a static noise during a phone call. and i have not even reached the 30 day limit with this phone so i returned the incredible back to the vzw store again but instead of getting a new incredible i decided to get a droid x instead like i originally planned to get. and i have been using this droid x for about a few weeks now and i must say, i liked my Droid Incredible MUCH better. the incredible was much faster, and sexier. so now i am wondering if verizon will let me take back my Droid x and once again get a Droid incredible instead, i really miss my incredible and im really starting to hate this phone.
so if you didnt get that the first time in short. i had a droid incredible, i loved it, but it broke. so i got a droid x and hated it. now i want to return it and get an incredible again, but i want to know if verizon will actually let me do that.
and on an unrelated not if verizon DOES let me get an incredible again will i have one of the newer models with the SLCD displays? does any one know if this screen looks any better then the older screens? just wondering

That depends on.............mood of store manager. They can do pretty much everything there, however they could tell you you cannot make a second exchange. That happened to me once, but the manager was nice enough a let me do the exchange 3 times. So, my suggestion is - make up a little story and give it a try. Good luck.
HTC seems to always bring the greatest and latest. But in my experience their phones just don't last. Serious...NOT trying to troll. I've literally gone through 20+ HTC Recertified Like New devices in the past few years. Most common was the Oil Slick LCD problem, where Verizon eventually started blaming the customer as user affected abuse even though the LCD wasn't cracked.
Great specs encased with cheap plastic and cheap parts.

Thats been my experience with HTC devices. Loved them all until they broke in the first 3 months. I went through 13 HTC devices (from the Vogue all the way up to the Rhodium) in about a year and a half. Personally, I will never own another HTC device unless that company does something AMAZING.
As far as your question goes, if the store manager is unwilling to do anything for you, I'm sure you could find someone that would be willing to trade their Incredible for your DX.

I'd have to say the thunderbolt is better than the incredible... Especially data speeds and screen size. Better processor and more ram... How is that a bad thing?

Battery is really the only reason I wouldn't switch. A few smaller points is that personally, it's a tad bigger than what I'd want to carry one me. Also there is less development, but it's obvious a bunch of people are working on it and I'm sure it'll have a good size team over there working on Thunderbolt goodies.
**** man, press charges against him. Guess he wants his daughter all to himself...

Rofl, please tell me you have fornicated with said daughter!
I'm curious how you got a Thunderbolt if they ran out of Incredibles instead of like a Droid X. Did you have to pay even more than the deductible or something?

Terrible luck man, glad the Inc was able to be some help to you in its last minutes sounds like the phone served you well. Congrats on such a nice replacement phone.

LOVE!!!!!!

So...I've had my Nexus S 4G for 2 weeks now, and I have to say, the first few days I was having trouble justifying the off contract price of the phone, especially when my Epic was perfectly fine.....
Fast forward to the first week, I was really liking how well it fit in my pocket, not to mention the battery life stock, and the GPS lock in seconds...awesome.
I also decided to root and try CM7, and I've been running it for a week so far, and I'll say it's changed my mind, and I'm definitely keeping this phone now!
And the ONLY thing I missed from my epic was the camera button, and today fooling around with my Nexus, I found that in CM7 you can assign the volume buttons to take pictures, EFFIN AWESOME!
So, I'm in love!
That is all,
Chris
cm7 opens the phone up so much more. its awesome
You better try kush rom its almost the same but with out Tue adw I hate adw on roms

So did the Sprint employees look at you funny when you bought it off contract for full retail?
I've always wondered what they think when enthusiasts come in and lay down half a grand on a phone... It's an expensive hobby.
I also came from the Epic... it's hard to tell they have the same hardware inside.
I don't see myself ever buying a non nexus device again..(here is hoping Sprint continues to play a role in the Nexus devices!!) Android is at it's best when it's running as Google intended. Not to mention the updates and development..
Anyways. Welcome glad you like it.

The sprint stores always seemed surprised. Best buy and the T-Mobile stores never blinked an eye. I've purchased 6 phones at full retail and only got an odd response once (from a Sprint employee).
Having gone from the Nexus One to this phone (and I'll buy the next Nexus phone as well) I hope it comes to Sprint. Otherwise I'll have to jump carriers again.

Next Dev Device

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.

Hmmm my upgrade isn't until September so im hoping better devices might show up. Personally I say get whatever phone makes you happy; I don't buy my phone's based on which "dev" is getting it, I get it because that's what I want lol. For every device there's usually great devs.....except the epic....its like a red head step child no one likes it.

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.

Quite the comparison, haha.
i'm definitely not bored with it yet!! the only thing i think would improve it is 4G. other than that, i'll ride it to the end..
I have the Inc now (upgraded from the droid back in late March) and its a nice phone, but I definitely wish I had something more current (which I will come November). From a hardware standpoint its a nice phone with moderate hardware but from a modding standpoint it's not the top of the list since its still locked (and can be bricked, like my original one which I had for a week) and the hardware is showing its age when it comes to new software like Sense 3.

JoelZ has a Sense 3.0 ROM that runs beautifully on my dinc. No lagging, lots of free memory, its a solid daily.
The Dinc was and is my first android phone, got it when it came out last April.
Whenever I do move on, if its in December when I'm up for a new one, or later, its gonna be tough to move on. I've definitely been spoiled with the solidity of the phone and the ferocity of the dev community for it.
Im gettin a second for my gf. Anyone thay doesnt want thier dinc, im makin a stockpile to make mine last forever.

I'm contemplating moving to the Tbolt or Inc2 but lack of Dual Core and CM7 is definitely stopping me. CM7 is keeping me nice and cozy with the Inc.
Im contemplating getting the Droid 3 but man oh man is it hard. $450 for it? Idk. The incredible has served me very well, and it still has a ton of life in it. All I need to do is give it some body work... like a new chassis. I abused this thing way too much haha.

Where did you hear $450?
Or is that assuming you can get $150 for your Inc and the Droid3 is $600?
I want that phone too. XD
Hahaha well the Droid x 2 is only 450... just a guess ha. But I've been reading and looking at the Sensation... oh so tempting. The Droid 3 just isn't as pretty and polished... but it has a keyboard... and Motorola is unlocking handsets now. I hate decisions.

Don't count on the Droid 3 to have anything less than an encrypted bootloader.
