Keeping the fascinate...

Ive decided to keep my fascinate even though have an available upgrade. Thanks to our excellent dev community here, ive never been happier w/ what's floating around in my pocket. I use it for everything, and its been easy to root and flash. I think im gonna wait for the second wave of the next gen phones.

Good Choice you've made there.
Just think there will be plenty of more phones soon that would be much better than Thunderbolt =D

Yeah it's not really worth an upgrade IMO until LTE is widespread and dual core phones are established.

The current generation of 2.2 ROMs are shockingly fast, stable, and battery thrifty.
I'll still give any vzw rep a hard time for the meagre support this phone had received, but secretly I am really pleased with the latest superclean. Thank goodness there was no exodus before the EB01 roms were so thoroughly tweaked.
It's thinner (ok slightly) than a thunderbolt and fully unlocked. I love that I can save it from the brink of brick with Odin. It'd be nice to have dual cameras or LTE but I have no justification for bailing before Q3 or Q4. I want a higher resolution screen and perhaps HDMI out.

I totally agree. The Tbolt isn't a bad phone, but I think having the "latest thing" has hyped it a bit more than its worth, especially with 4G not being everywhere. I checked it out at a Vzw store, and I love the size of my Fascinate compared to the tbolt. It fits a pocket a lot better, its just so small and thin. Screen is better too.
Overall though, I think waiting for more competition is a solid choice, but of course I don't blame anyone for wanting the newest phone out there, especially if they have 4G in their area.

Thinking about waiting for the next big thing makes me think about all the new phones coming out for T-Mobile. Too bad they'll be internet-less smartphones later on....

There is no reason for upgrading f right now if you have a current Gen top tier phone. It is going to be a while before developers start making apps for dual core phones or apps that require a lot of processing power.

I had an original Droid before the Fascinate. A lot of good qualities but the weight drove me nuts. Newer phones like the thunderbolt weigh quite a bit more and you feel it. With the ROMs we have now, it's hard to justify an upgrade.

I think I'll keep my fascinate for a while, but the new droid incredible S/2 is tempting.

Went and played with a tbolt for a while, I wasn't the least bit impressed. Defi not enough to pay 300 out the door. As frustrated as I am with Samsung, our Dev community is awesome. Im pretty sure I was running adrynalynes roms on my pos omnia.
Thank you devs foe making the decision for me not to jump ship. Btw, I'm in San Diego and have 4g almost everywhere I am.

All of our devs are jumping ship to the thunderbolt. Though they say they wont abandon us, I'm sure development will slow because they will be playing with their fancy new phones. I would have upgraded if I could.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

dev for fascinate are doing all they can for our phone - if you have updated your phone with the current ROMs and kernels your phone should be running GREAT
we need Samsung to download the source code for the fascinate
when that happens we will see new updates for the fascinate - take a look at the i9000 threads in xda - our fascinate phone is not DEAD

Not concerned at all. Our devs are the **** by the way!

So you're saying it's not worth a couple hundred bucks to be able to get a slightly higher Quad score?

Well i usually jump on new phones had the iphone 3g,iphone 3gs,droid eris,moto droid,droid x and now my fascinate but nothen coming out cept the galaxy s2 looks temping imo. The fascinate is just as good if not better because of the speed size and screen.

I have my ne2 upgrade..but I am perfectly happy with my fascinate with all the great work from our devs its become an amazing phone.
Besides I don't consider the T-bolt an upgrade at all. More like sideways instead of up. Will wait till something like the sgs 2 or a dual core htc
Sent from my fascination with voodoo

T bolt really is a very minor upgrade. It just doesn't seem worth burning an upgrade for when I already have a fascinate. I also fail to understand the iphone like levels of hype and fanboy-ism surrounding it.

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

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.

I had a myTouch 4G before and its a great phone
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!

I've heard the "Beats" audio, it's mostly enhanced bass and tweaked treble. Was not extremely impressed.
As for my new GSIII, I like it. Came from a flashed GSI. The improvement is alot more than coming from an older laptop to a state of the art one...
Yeah, I rooted it a few hours after getting it.

I came from the Aria, so the difference is pretty significant. I will say that I think the screen is ever so slightly too large. I think 4.3-4.5 inch displays are the perfect size.

Happy, mostly... Wish I wouldn't have had the evo to play with first, grr... That camera knocks this one's dingle in the dirt, the display is much nicer, and the devs are killing that thing, lol, I'm sitting here with my rooted phone and thumb up my arse wishing I knew how to dev cause we have not one Damn Rom... On the other hand I do like playing with Samsung as it's a tad different than HTC. It feels maybe a little better than evo in my hands, in a strange way, the phone feels a little cheaper so I'm not as worried to use it like it's intended. This thing gets hot and has performance issues and hopefully all my "issues" are all software related... It does have removable battery which is huge for me as I like to keep a few extra batteries charged and ready to go, HATE to be tethered to a wall. The sound on this thing is really loud and clean, really appreciate that... The digitizer is a bit spastic at times but that might just need tweaked as well... It does have 2GB's of ram:-~ lol, I don't know any Sammy devs either, did they all go to evo??? Lol, Need to flash something, going through withdrawals:-o I also don't have any of the display having the black spots or weird colors so maybe I got lucky for once... Ramble, ramble...

Upgrade: HTC one s or Samsung galaxy nexus?

Sorry dudes/dudettes had to make a change and leave the 9 life mytouch 4g. Which one would you choose? Both cost $99 on windtab. (Aka contract). I went with the HTC one s I've only used it for a day and so far my impressions. Beats audio sound is excellent, cameras is quick and beautiful, quadrant scores of about 5200, speakerphone is loud, battery is pretty darn good. But software... Definitely needs a custom rom. Lol why bother with the question you ask? I pretty much chose the one s because spec wise it is superior to the nexus BUT software wise the nexus will have the latest and greatest from Google.... What would you have done?
Keep in mind I could still exchange it....

If you have the money, ditch the contract man, it'll save you SO much money within 6 months, expecially if you buy the Nexus.
As for preference, i would have to go with the one s. I actually like sense so thats part of it (its freaking beautiful) but i like the size of it better. I don't need this massive brick of a phone lol. They are pretty much the same once your root them.

I'd do the one s.

Ok good so the general feedback is the one s was the right choice.
I was thinking about waiting for the new nexus but just like the sgs3 I'm sure it won't be no $99 lol
Lol I've always been against contracts, but nowadays the price of phones has skyrocketed lol I was actually thinking about the sgs3 until I saw the price tag.....on contract lol

I was thinking about waiting for the new nexus but just like the sgs3 I'm sure it won't be no $99 lol
Lol I've always been against contracts, but nowadays the price of phones has skyrocketed lol I was actually thinking about the sgs3 until I saw the price tag.....on contract lol
No worries tonight at work my only mission is to root this bad boy. Lol
I won't lie I miss the trackball and menu key from our mytouch though.
Thanks for the opinions people.

Well either way. I'd say you didnt make a bad choice because if you end up liking the nexus, you can always sell the one s to help you out.

i'm sure Google is going to sell their new nexus devices at a fair price on Google Play like they did with the Galaxy Nexus.

Really?! Never heard of that....Something tells me it won't be available in Canada.
