Leaving the droid incredible :( - Droid Incredible General

So I went and picked up a rezound off of craigslist for 125 today. I am definitely going to miss my dinc. I've been through 4 digitizers with my dinc. This phone is indestructible. I'll keep it as a backup. Thanks to all of the awesome devs and members for all of the help. I'll miss this great phone.

My droid has seen more than its fair share of my tile floor, concrete and other surfaces. The bezel is cracked in half (doesn't cause problems) below the track ball and the camera lens cover is cracked, held together with super glue and has dust on the inside. It's the equivalent of a Toyota Hilux (Top Gear reference) in the phone world, you just can't kill these old horses.
I'll keep my for sentiment, like I do with all my phones.

I am also going to miss my droid incredible shifting to EVO lte
as am facing problems on dinc of 5 vibrates and reboots!

Will be retiring the old DInc for a Galaxy Nexus on Sunday.

Now that you have been using the rezound for a while, how does it compare to the inc? Is it a significant improvement in speed or capability? Does the battery last?

Not Happy with your Fascinate? Look Here!

Hey guys, so I've been a long time member of this forum ever since I had my G1.. I then jumped ship from tmobile and went to verizon where I got the Droid Incredible.. After a few months with that I gave my incredible to my GF and got the Droid X which has been pretty solid for me so far... However now im looking elsewhere again.
Basically, if anyone its not totally happy with their fascinate and would like to potentially trade it for my DX, PM me and we can work something out.
I'm looking for an IMMACULATE phone! My Droid X has had a Stein Ultra Crystal Screen protector on it from day one right out of the box, as well as a hard snap on case with belt holster, its condition is immaculate and I'm looking for the same
Will come with all OEM equipment in the original box... I'm giving Phone with screen protector, Home Charger, Car Charger, Two Peice snap on hard case with belt holster, AS WELL as the Verizon Extended Battery that I also have for this device... So youll be getting two batterys, the extended battery and the stock one.
Phone has OTA 2.2, Deodexed, Rooted, Debloated and Clockworkmod Recovery

Yeah I have to say, I was never really interested in the droid x but with all the stuff you were offering I thought I would at least research it. Well, that being said, I am not liking what I am reading in the dx fascinate comparisons. I have a feeling that it will be next to impossible for you to find someone with a fascinate that will be willing to give it up. If your at all interested here is the thread that will backup this claim:http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...did-anyone-here-switch-droid-x-fascinate.html
I got a crisp $10 bill 2010 series. Is there anyone looking to trade their wrinkled $20 bill for my crisp $10 bill?
good day.
Actually, I'm pretty sure he'll find a taker--probably someone who's more concerned about bulletproof GPS. Maybe not on this forum though.

The Droid X has the best antenna / radio out of any android device to date, youll get significant reception improvements in the switch if you live anywere that isent fullproof.. I know at my house with my old incredible I would get two bars that fluctuated between 3g and 1x.... With my X I get full bars 3g no questions asked 100% of the time
GPS is amazing.. Ive used google maps to navigate through downtown boston which is hell and never had a problem

So my friend if you can come up with a way to trade with me in ohio that keeps me confident that you won't run off with my phone then I've got a pristine fascinate to trade. Pm me if you think we can work something out

I've dropped mine countless times, including off the top of my truck onto asphalt. And off the top of a bunk-bed at camp three times. I've dropped it into the pool, got it out and it was still on . But I did have to replace the entire back housing just to get a new camera lens because mine literally fell off. And I have replaced the speaker four, FOUR times because of it blowing. And I just dropped it from about 1 foot off my chair and it cracked the lens (luckily it's not in the way of the sensor). BUT, the screen has been fine the entire time. Some scratches, but I can not believe the glass has not broken
Hopefully it can make it to July when my upgrade is due. Even though I got it on April 29, 2010. Because I used my brothers upgrade, and he used mine. So now we'll be even.

What's sad is that just earlier that day (the day it chipped the screen in a few places), I was on Amazon buying a screen protector and I had put a silicone case in my cart but I removed it because I thought, "I've had this phone for 3 mos and I haven't dropped it.....why buy a case now?"

Im pretty sure they replace them with whatever they have in stock at whatever distribution center they have closest to near where you live. I've heard people say they replaced their incredibles with refurbished droid x's, facinates, incredible 2's and regular incredibles. It's a luck of the draw what you get really.

Likely an incredible. I got a couple from them recently (Wisconsin if it matters). First one was online, second was over the phone, and both were Inc's.
Funny part was that my coworker got a replacement from them a few weeks earlier and got a inc 2.
PS. So you don't think I break phones weekly, on the 1st one the accelerometer didn't work. Haha.

Ended up getting the same phone, but with 2.3.4 :/
Trying to get it rooted again.
I have tried asurion online about everyday for the last month and they seem to always have OG Dincs in stock. I have a cracked screen so it is cheaper for me to just replace that myself. Just hoping to get a Dinc 2 instead so I have a newer device until HTC releases their next super phone a april/summer. My dinc has been great though with CM7.
Has anyone got a Dinc 2 from asurion recently?

Reasons why your still with the Nexus S?

Hey guys, I was a older nexus user and after getting many phones(I have a sensation) I'm getting a nexus again. I'm trading my senny for nexus S and a Samsung infuse 4g.
So why are you guys still with the nexus? Reasons?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
Because I can't afford another phone. Lol. Well part of the reason. I actually enjoy the community support and see no other reasons to upgrade. My phone does what I need it to without any problems. My next phone will be a GNex, but I'll probably run this thing into the ground before then. At least I'll have saved up enough by then.

That's cool. For spem reason, this phone looks amazingly sexy. And in hand it feels the best than any other phone
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
I quite like my nexus, but the main reason is, that there is nothing extraordinary about new phones.
My nexus can perform smoothly, any task i need to do( i don't play games).
I'll upgrade at the end of the year,
hopefully till then , they will be able to sort the battery life and use more efficiently front panel,
to fit screen.
I'll would love, to have bigger screen, although not at cost of carrying mini tablet in my pocket.
Because I am not a fool that constantly goes out and buys the latest and greatest phones for a big e-peen.

I'm screwed if I break my Epic!!!!!!

best buy has none any more, here in Va Beach, I JUST found that out when my wife got home from taking my oldest to Best buy with his broken Epic, the forced an upgrade on him so now my wife has a Iphone ( ewwww) and my oldest son has her old HTC evo 3D, but the store manager said they told my wife that the Epic is no longer made and if I break mine I get a free upgrade, only problem in the only Samsung is the SII, other than that its a keyocreia, or a LG optimus, and another phone that I have never heard of So I guess when I do finally decide to upgrade I will have to leave the Epic for dead
Orrrrrrr...be careful and take care of it. I have my original still gotten 2 weeks after release.

Best buy also offers you the full retail value towards the purchase of another phone. So whatever it was at the time of purchase for you it may be $500 towards a new phone off contract.
Even without a case, it's still somewhat of a tank. I dropped mine at least 5 times and it's fine. And before me my dad had it while putting up billboards.

I got my Zagg invisible shield professionally installed right after I got my epic, and put it in the commuter case right after. A couple weeks ago, I had the invisible shield replaced under the lifetime warranty after a knife in my pocket had gouged it. When I took the case and screen protector off, my epic looked brand new. The only part that is worn at all is the keyboard, and it is _very_ worn. =)

It may have its shortcomings and limitations compared to other phones currently available, but the photon q runs circles around the Epic.

You can occasionally find good phones on cowboom.com. I got into the Samsung Epic because I found it on CraigsList and the ESN wasn't bad -- but it was locked to someone else's account (gr!). Had to port it to cricket, since it was basically stolen.
Talked to a few of the cricket flasher people -- and they said you can find GOOD phones on cowboom. So, I searched Cowboom and got another Epic. The trick to getting a good one (mine said it was covered in scratches -- it was pretty much brand new) is to look for one that has nearly everything included with it as far as accessories. Mine showed as a poor quality, but it was flawless.
Search fairly often and you should be able to find one. Like the others said, get a case and a screen protector. I use a Seidio Active and love it.
