Ipad, Nook Color and an Evo 4g

I have an Ipad1, a Nook Color and an Evo 4g (both cm7) and if my wife told me I could only keep one it'd be the Nook Color (she would never do such a thing in her right mind). Its snappier, perfect size, easier to get ANYTHING on it, I can't stand iTunes and my ipad is jailbroken themed as gingerbread android. I actually have my ipad on craigslist for a trade and cash for a Xoom, hoping some apple nut got a Xoom from one of his rich aunts or something. Don't get me wrong I love my Evo 4g.... I think there's more custom Roms for that phone then any other phone but...... my Nook goes EVERYWHERE with me now. I own a restaurant and am the Executive Chef and I'm constantly grabbing my NC, whether it be for listening to Howard Stern, Facebook, inventory, recipes etc. The only problem I'm having is finding a decent movie player for my NC (I use Vplayer no and meh). Just my 2cent for the morning in case anyone is on the fence about what 7" tablet to get. And for the camera and GPS I always have my phone in my pocket (back pocket not front, I don't want ball cancer). Honestly the ONLY thing I use my ipad for is Netflix and when that comes to Android I wont touch it. Hope that all made sense, I'm typing this with my morning coffee. If anyone disagrees with anything I've said speak up.
Thanks,
Dave
The speakers on the NC are a bit of a bummer and Im running a kernel that boosts the sound but still pretty low.

I've got an NC and an EVO 4G also. Nice combination. I don't think I'd want to give either up. Actually, it's pretty remarkable how much like a mini NC the Evo is. The other day I went to Las Vegas and the hotel wanted to charge $12.00 a day for wireless. Yet, I was getting excellent 4G reception on my Evo, so there was no point. I don't have a tethering plan, though, so I used teh Evo to surf and keep up with e-mail. It's a shame cell companies try to charge an additional $20-30 for your phone's wireless hotspot feature (I know I could get it for free by rooting, but I'm not ready to travel down that path just yet).

Funny you say that. I keep my Evo next to my NC all day at the restaurant (faldonis.com gotta plug my biz) and keep it tethered the whole time (hope sprint doesn't catch on) and its snappy as hell. I've had my NC for 2 weeks and haven't picked up my ipad since, battery might be dead Idk. I'm serious when I say when Netflix comes to Android I will never touch my ipad and probably give it to my kids if I don't find a rich apple lover on çraigslist with a Xoom.

you should do your good deed for the day and send me your ipad for free

If you are looking for a good movie player, try Mobo Player with the Arm7 Neon codec pack (which it should grab automatically for you. Given that it is good enough to decode some of the 720p movie trailers out there, i think it will fit your bill.

I'm still having problems playing some movies with mono and the addons. I'm downloading them as mp4 ...... is that the correct format or is there another way I should be downloading the movies? @beezy - I would give it to ya if my 3 year old daughter wouldn't woop my ass.

Soemthing to try - press and hold on the file you want to play, and select the software decoding, to see if that helps.

It(Nook) really is great. The Nook forums are a bit more crazy than the G2 forums but I managed to get phiremod going nonetheless.
Yeah, I am really glad I got the Nook!

That did the trick madcat. That's like the 100th time you've helped me with my NC. Thanks bro!

This is the samething thing that is happening with me. I got an ipad, nookie, and my captivate. And ever since i got the NC i take it everywhere i go and the great thing is that since the captivate is an android i can tether with no problem (unlimited data) without running the risk of getting the letter from at&t saying to stop tethering. My brother has an iphone 4 and we tether the same amount of time and he got the letter to stop. I think only iphones can be detected of such use. Anyways, the only problem is that the captivate has a super bad gps and is pretty much worthless for that, but im in the process of getting the Inspire. Aside from that, the Nook Color is awesome! Just a few days a go i went to a restaurant and as i waited to be seated i booted HC from SD card and the manager asked me if it was the Galaxy Tab cus they're almost the same size and as soon i told him it was a NC he was amazed by its capabilities. Makes me proud to own one!

Here too I had an ipad sold it after rooting my wife's nook color now with cm7 liked it so much bought me one and use my rooted evo with cm7 also love it much better than ipad. By the way Netflix is out but not for nook yet I got it for my evo. I'm sure someone will make it work with nook soon enough. My 2 cents.

I have an evo 4g and youre honestly doing yourself harm by not rooting it considering unrevoked is a one click root. The sheer number of roms for the evo is incredible and I cant and never will return to stock.

Agreed. There is no real reason not to root.. do it!
On a side note; did anyone think that the title sounds suspiciously like a joke?
"So, an Ipad, Nook, and Evo walk into a bar.......".

The ipad says to the bartender...... agreed with the prior two posts. Go to unrevoked.com (YouTube it), one click root it and head over to the xda Evo forums and take your pick of a ton of sick Roms. I pretty much tether my NC everyday from my Evo ..... should I chill out so I don't get a letter from sprint? That would SUCK with the Evo 3d around the corner.

Yeah, no doubt it's just a matter of time. It would sure have been sweeet to be surfing on my NC from my hotel room as opposed to the Evo. I've only had the Evo for a couple of weeks, so it's all still very new to me.

Bionic vs vigor

How is the bionic treating u guy's ....im up in the air with this... cause i love my tbolt..but really wanted the bionic...but at the time it wasnt out so i got the tbolt cause i wanted to be grandfathered in the unlimited data plan...but now the bionic is out im thinking about it...but also rumors about the htc vigor a.k.a incredible HD is said to be out soon. So now im in a dilema..lmao.. I know the only difference between the 2 is generally is diffrent UI, diffrent screens and 1 ghz dual core and other has 1.5 dual core....But would like other ppl input. I know it's more on what's my personal preference, but would like some of u guy's input....... Thanks in advance

I updated to the bionic from a thunderbolt and am very happy. I actually like the bionic screen better than the thunderbolts and the battery is
A little better. I really like the fact that I can see the display outside perfect. I am not sure if a am blind but I love the display and do not know why people complain about it. I bought the bionic thinking I would return it because I wanted the prime. I decided to keep it because it was the first phone I could use outside and see the display.
For what it is worth I will also be getting the prime when it comes out. I want to try it out and if I like it better the the bionic I will keep it.

Love my Bionic as well, I really love the screen as said above. I couldn't see the thunderbolts display outdoors, I dont have that problem with the Bionic.

The prime isn't coming to VZW and there's no official release date for the vigor. Get the bionic. You won't b disAppointed and you'll never keep up with technology anyway. Lol.
Some quad core 1080p display phone would drop right after you get the Vigor.

I endorse most of this comment. You're asking us to compare a phone that is out to one that isn't. There is always going to be the next big thing...
I'd say it boils down to this- do you like HTC/sense or Moto/blur more? There is your answer.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium

I got a Bionic to replace an ailing Charge with the intent to do exactly what you're describing and I very well may end up keeping it. I can't remember the last time I bought a phone and immediately formed the impression that this was a device that just might last the term of my contract.

I am coming from droid incredible.
I am planning to return my bionic right before the return window is up and wait for the Vigor.
I miss HTC sense wayyyy to much. I also dont like how when you pinch to zoom it doesnt auto fill text in the new window it just zooms in.
I can see diaplay outside which is nice but motorola just isnt for me. The zumocast hasnt worked so i cant comment about that except it doesnt work.
I think i was spoiled with HTC and Sense and dont like any other ui though.

Coming from a tbolt it has been great. Screen, battery, & quality (of phone) are are better on bionic. Loved my D1, bolt failed me so was given bionic. I love that the extended battery doesn't add 3 lbs to phone. I'd love to get prime if/when that comes out for VZW, but who knows what will be out around christmas.

I think the vigor will be the better phone, depends on how good the battery is. Everyone knows htc and their batteries.

buy it at bestbuy instead. they got a 30 day policy that aligns with verizon's 30 day cancellation

I love my bionic. Its the best phone i ever had. Very satisfied with it had a facinate before bionic

I love my Bionic.. I've used alot of droid phones but all were Motorola so I guess my opinion might be a bit biased but my brother likes HTC phones and I've used his here and there and I prefer Motorolas build quality over anything and the Bionic is fast and has good battery life... this may be the first phone to last the term of my contract ..
I say pull the trigger and see how you like it .. best advice you can honestly get ..

If you buy it from Costco, you get 14 days to back out of the Verizon service (I might be wrong on this, could be 30), but 90 days to exchange the phone. I bought a Charge on July 3rd, exchanged it a few days later because I thought it was defective (turns out it just has a ****ty radio), and then exchanged it again for the Bionic a couple of weeks after it came out.

Upgrade Available, Need Help!

Hey guys, first off let me remind everyone that I WILL be keeping my Revo. However, I am available for my upgrade as of right now and I'm having trouble picking between some phones. Please make your choice by voting in poll that has been posted up there ^^^^
Galaxy Nexus:
I can get this phone through Wirefly for only $229.
Razr: $149 through bestbuy
*Spectrum: $129 through wirefly
Razr Maxx: $229
Rezound: $179
I kind of don't want the Rezound because I don't want to go from a 4.3in. screen to a 4in.
I didn't really want to spend over $200 (which only leaves the Razr and Rezound)
I just want to know everyone's input. As you can see, my motivation behind my choices is that these phones either have, or will have ICS. I put the Spectrum on there simply because believe it or not, I could barely find any bad reviews for it on Verizons site (other than the obvious complaints about battery life). Other than battery life there were really no complaints about it but I really don't want to give LG another chance to screw me over with their support, or lack thereof.
Help me choose lol!!! I'll be buying my new phone tomorrow whichever one I get so please if you see this post, reply to it and help me out.
Thanks guys!

Nexus. Honestly it's the combination of 2 cell phone titans. I am sure they have a good community. The moto, well that is a powerhouse to itself, moto has been doing it longer than anyone. The RAZR was one of the best selling phones and you know moto don't mess around when it comes to their flag ship phones. That said Nexus is one of the most recognizable phone names ever and generally rightly so.

I'm torn between the razr maxx or the nexus. If i go with what i know, id choose the razr. Before the revo, ive always gone with Motorola (would have this time too, but the bionic wasnt out yet and i wanted to snag the unlimited plan before big red canned it). Never owned a samsung phone before so id be a little nervous in buying the nexus (but thats just me).
But then i look at the great experience ive had with stock android on my xoom.
If i had to choose right now, i think i would take a chance on the nexus just so i could relive the stock experience

Id go with the maxx. Pretty much an upgraded razrr. The nexuss however does have a big community, but so do all the other phones. The biggest selling point on the rezound is the headphones that come with it.

I would roll in this order.
Nexus - ICS and lots of dev
Rezound - Getting ICS and tons of dev
Razr Maxx - Getting ICS and killer battery tons of dev
Razr - Getting ICS tons of dev, battery life on par with revo.

Sent from my Dread Ginger Revo using Tapatalk.

I say either Razr Maxx or Razr or Nexus I'd only get the Rezound for the beats.

I think I'm going to go with the Razr and here's why.
1. It's half the price of the Nexus
2. Found a mod here on XDA on how to use the battery and door from the Maxx on the regular Razr
3. I actually like Moto devices (Blur is not an issue, that's why people make Launchers)
4. Gorilla Glass
5. Water repellent
6. Kevalr back (the backs of my phones always get scratched up)
7. Smart Actions
8. Smaller community than the Nexus (i really hate large communities where everything is a big jumbled cluster f**k of information)
So that's gonna be it, I'll be getting the Razr so if anyone else gets it, you can look forward to seeing my themes in the forums over there really soon. I can't order the phone until the 15th (stupid bi-monthly pay for the miltiary).
Thanks for all the insight though guys. I reall really really wanted the damn Nexus instead but even with an upgrade the cheapest I could find it was $299 I believe.

Yep definitely going with the Razr from BestBuy. It's only $149 with an upgrade and with free shipping. Also, that's for the 32GB version which in addition comes with a 16GB card. So pretty much a 48GB Razr for only $149, yeah I'm jumping on that.

Spoke with VZW Today about ICS and Bionic

Called VZW today to replace my Bionic due to a Charging issue with the device. After informing (Tech Support Rep) aka the department that issues out replacement phones that my Bionic once plugged onto the charger it discharges. in order to get the battery to charge i have to do a "battery pull" at least twice. Last week I went into a VZW store thinking it was my extended battery had it replaced for a new one and still the same issue persist. After explaining this the Rep shipped out a replacement. He seemed pretty cool through out the conversation so I went ahead and asked about the Bionic and Android 4.0 and how upset I was that last week I read a post online that the list of Verizon phones to get ICS and the Bionic wasn't on that list mind you I also have a Xoom LTE so I threw that out there too!! so then he said hold on let me look, he didn't place me on hold i could hear him typing away i guess looking for the info on his end and he confirmed that the Bionic will be getting ICS indeed and so will the Xoom LTE be he didn't say when. let's see how much of this is true.......I wish i had something more solid to give you guys I tried!!!!!!

Well there is a soak test going on

that's embarrassing but unfortunately not surprising. so many developers have jumped ship because the Bionic was such a disappointment. Then a month later, the Razr was released. I've said it before and I'll say it again. VZW and MOTO screwed all of us who waited for the delayed release of the Bionic. Now they are screwing us over again. The next update will probably be .904 (not ICS). the current status for ICS is still in "Evaluation and Planning".
The sad part is that MOTO still makes the best phones. HTC never did it for me and I never liked Samsung. At the moment, the RAZR MAXX is the way to go. But even they aren't sure when to expect ICS. So for now, we wait for ICS and hope that some developers come back.

Ehh your right out forums are dead ill try to hop on more. Maybe one day I will make a full post about it, but man, waiting for the Bionic since it was announced in january, then just to have the RAZR released right after it? A kick in the ass indeed.....

Lol well I bought the DROID X2 shortly after it came out, only to have the Bionic drop a few months later. After going through 5 replacements I bought the Bionic on CL since VZW wouldn't give me an early upgrade, only offered me a Dinc2 which I declined.
I probably won't buy another Moto product on VZW again unless they get their stuff straight.

Not really much left to say unless you want to complain [again] about the locked bootloader, lack of stable ICS and disappearance of devs. I've done all the groaning I can on this phone. After buying two, I'll get anything but Moto when it's time for an upgrade. They just don't appreciate customers.
Whoops -- more whining!

Lol well I bought the DROID X2 shortly after it came out, only to have the Bionic drop a few months later. After going through 5 replacements I bought the Bionic on CL since VZW wouldn't give me an early upgrade, only offered me a Dinc2 which I declined.
I probably won't buy another Moto product on VZW again unless they get their stuff straight.

Not really much left to say unless you want to complain [again] about the locked bootloader, lack of stable ICS and disappearance of devs. I've done all the groaning I can on this phone. After buying two, I'll get anything but Moto when it's time for an upgrade. They just don't appreciate customers.
Whoops -- more whining!

As a follow up to how much I love to hate on MOTO and VZW for a lot of what they have done, I still would not switch from either company. Before the Bionic, I had a Droid X for a year and loved every minute of it. I never had any issues (I wasn't rooting and messing around at that point). The reason I got into the rooting/ROM side of things was because the Bionic had so much bloatware and such terrible battery life that I hoped most could be fixed with a new ROM. On both fronts, yes, Liberty did miracles. But even with the extended battery, my expectations of the phone's performance have not been entirely met. In some light messing around with a friend's RAZR MAXX during the last couple of months, I have found that it is more similar to the X than the Bionic; lighter on the bloatware and heavier on the performance. MOTO also has all the accessories that HTC and Samsung don't. With both the X and the Bionic, the navigation is stellar. I use the windshield mount almost everyday which correct me if I'm wrong, is not offered by the other companies. I have also heard that Samsung's, and seen that HTC's phones do not have a reliable GPS. Finally, with Google's acquisition of MOTO Mobility nearing completion, I would hope that the developers at Google will work to streamline BLUR in the near future.

I totally agree with you CR

I received the update to participate in the soak test yesterday. They have not pushed the test out yet as of 11:30 am CST..

This is all fine and dandy to wish for but realize this Droid Bionic, Love It! is soon to leave Verizon phone lineup due to its shortness of inventory and all the wonderful fascinating new devices that are out or coming...Do you really think the Evil Empire will actually give a new O/S to what they call an outdated device! Its just not good financial business to them! And how many times before have they "changed their minds" due to their financial gains, oh, but only to better our customer experience!

Argued with VZW until they gave me an Iphone lol

I just got a topic reply from XDA and lol'd as I've been an Iphone owner now for about 3 months. All I have to say is I'm a happy camper again when it comes to having a cell phone. I had countless issues with multiple Revo's stock and rom'd out. ***** at VZW enough you can get lucky and get out of such a terrible phone. Yeah I lost my 4G (which i had turned off on my Revo to attempt to get 7hrs of battery) but not being a heavy data user it doesnt bother me especially because I get almost 2 days out of my 4s. Not trying to get on an Apple rant but if you simply use your phone as a phone and want it to be reliable it may be worth looking into!

Sorry, but no I'll never purchase iCrap. I have an iPod touch 2nd generation because that was what was cool back in the day and now iPhones are cool and I prefer my Android over iCrap any day. I may lose out on ton of the new games that are out on iOS months sometimes years before Android but that's fine with me since I'd rather have my better performing OS that has new features and aren't behind on features.

They upgraded me to a bionic from the revolution then to the rezound all for free lolv

Definitely not turning this into a debate, I'm just saying if you are having fits with your Revo you can get out of it if you really complain and I'm pretty happy with my iPhone. It never needs rebooted, camera couldnt get much better, battery life is insanely good (charges very fast too), and plugs into my car to play music lol.

All of that can be done with an Android.

Sure but with a Revo....no.. like I said not an android bash thread just saying you can get out of it and I happen to like the choice I made to go to the Iphone.

Too bad the Revo soured you on Android. While the iphone is a well made device I could never put up with the limitations like the tiny screen, no widgets, and no Google navigation.. Just for more battery life. Glad it worked for you though.

I can safely say that the Revo turned me off to anything LG.

I'm with Indy, i just had too many issues with multiple phones. The Revo didnt turn me off to android I just couldnt find a better solution at the time. Its not just the better battery life....the exchange is great as it syncs deletes and read messages! Yes I really miss google nav (cant find a good nav program on apple) The smaller footprint of a phone I prefer as it fits in my pocket when I ride my CBR1000

I personally love my phone. ive got it all tuned out. I think people that say oh the OS sucks havent rooted there phone before. All you need is a phone with an unlocked bootloader and decent hardware and you can root it and make it unreconizable when you compare it to the stock OS. Mine does what i need so if an iphone works for your needs, then there ya go.

Hey how did you actually rant enough to get a new phone for free cause my revo is starting to have tons of issues and i am not wanting to go into my Verizon store because they will try and use my insurance plan on it because they are like oh for 100 dollars you can get a new phone etc. its just i dont want to spend another 100 dollars on the damn phone and sign another contract.
