if you are going to leave att i would suggest just about any android phone NOT on att
But I'm with ATT now ad my cotract ends in 2012 so forget the epic
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
epic is only good rooted with roms flashed, maybe they say that about the captivate but the epic is worse. the launcher sux and cant have the icons changed. you can fix that with launcher pro but then keys and some widgets dont work so to update you need to switch launchers back. the mesaging app sux, it doesnt have the ability to multi select contacts like the other galaxy s phones. and you are getting basically the same phone as the captivate plus a ffc which i find useless because sprints network sux too much to video call. even there 4g if you find an area that has it is nothing special. rarely does it actually beat att's 3g in real world performance. that's if you can find a location that has wimax.
ok so the epic has a camera flash and a keyboard. the keyboard might be nice for games if that is important to you but the thing is just big. plus there are few situations that you need a camera flash and a led flash is enough to be effective.
with the right modem and kernel the captivate has the best call quality out of any phone i have ever owned period! i suggest the kc1 modem and speedmod of similar kernel on a ported rom of your choice. for that reason i will not recomend the inspire though the inspire specs out very nice and has comperable performance. i think it is a lesser phone in talk quality and build quality, but if camera flash and screen size and hspa+ are important by all means get one.
not sure about the quantum what is it?
i5? really on an androidforum? are you trying to get flamed? well apple has some high quality hardware/build quality but the iphone4 had a few mistakes like glass on both sides that is prone to breakage do to microscratches on the edges from using a mandatory case that prevents antenna issues. some of there efforts are too little too late and they still have a very limited os. untill they have some form of live homescreen applications i wouldn't. ios can support as some stock apps have live icons to show missed call quantity or unread messages, i also think the calandar icon shows date and folders show the contents. but steave jobs must not think it is important to the users. the ui gets cluttered untill you manually organize apps into folders. and the funny thing about note and reminders is you have to remember to read them or set alarms, i never set alarm because i never here them, so id rather have them stare me in the face in a widget so i can see it multiple times before it is etched into my memory. i need widgets or a smart phone is not worth haveing. [email protected] apple and steve jobs idea of a ui. iphones suck and macs suck harder!

Epic 4g is same as captivate with CDMA and slide keyboard...so its more of Sprint versus Att.
LG quantum is WP7, so its your to choose between OS...everyone here (including me) will tell you to opt for Android as its awesome...WP7 is behind android in terms of development..may be after another couple of year I would consider WP7 (if it survives till then), till then Android rocks
iPhone 5...I am sure till that comes out Android will reach another level of Awesomeness...So dont even mention that here....
For Inspire there is a thread in captivate general forums for pro and cons...U shud check that out...it has comparison between Cappy and Inspire...

So, just because the phones are completely locked down and RIL's aren't perfect to your standards. Verizon has a bad selection of phones?
I'm pretty sure there are quite of few people that will argue against that very weak point.
You are expecting way too much for technology that hasn't even come close to maturing. The android operating system is only 3 years old, as far as a consumer stand point. This technology is still fairly new.

Just something for him to complain about.
if you're going to flame at me might as well do it somewhere else, don't put it here. Everyone has their own fckng opinions and nobody asked for you to troll.
And how does my point have to do with technology maturing. I'm just saying that vz sucks because their devices are incredibly locked down, such as the d3 I'm on right now. Some of us don't have a choice because our company is tied down to a carrier.
So how am I complaining? The OP asked for an aanswer on why there are no ROMs ON THE DROID X2 AND THE DROID 3,WHICH ARE MOTO PHONES., not the selection of phones. T-Mo is obviously going to be a better route for you because you have more stock phones, such as the G2x or G2, as well as phones with unlocked/unlockable bootloader (Sensation) Your not going to get really far with Moto phones, which is WHAT HE IS LOOKING AT.
BUT
since I don't like to fight, I understand where you guys are coming from. just remember everyone has their own opinions
Cmon now lets all just hug out droids and be friends lol

They were pretty good about the news when it came to the froyo update for the ally so im hopeful itll be soon
So we've heard a couple of second-hand accounts of a release in mid-October and now the LG tech saying "soon." This is good, really. It's just so hard to wait, since this phone isn't fully functional without GB. Pretty much nothing can use the front-facing camera until this comes out

Just so everyone knows. The LG Esteem is the same exact phone as the LG Revolution. Just a different carrier and different OS. Myself and mtmichaelson have been trying to contact people who have the LG Esteem to get a system dump from them to make porting Gingerbread to our phones easier. Hopefully we should have something to tell you guys soon.
Woot! Keep it up guys!

Hey guys, just a quick update before going to bed for 2 hours of sleep, root has been accomplished! I was able to help get super user working properly after they were able to gain access. It has not been released to the masses, but will be soon. In return for a little bit of my assistance, I now have in my possession the full system dump and the boot.img from the gingerbread build on the esteem and will be working to see if it can somewhat easily be ported over.

WOAH! V20B_00.kdz seems to be PURE LG.
No bloatware or anything.
Not rootable yet though.

Don't worry. A ROM is in the works. Gingerbread of course.
I figured I have been watching. i played with it last week but got no where. I have to say I like that LG better then my Galaxy for some things for sure. The keyboard is way better then my S II
And why can we not use the Roger's baseband? Different radio or frequencies or what? I'm just a layman on this, but at first thought, I'd expect that it might work. Just wanting to know, to learn.

Yea link please. I'm still having baseband issues and want to reupgrade anyway.
Is the baseband a set of files like in the system folder. I'm think with a bit of tweaking they should run on 21A.
The issue I have is that the signal keeps dropping of on the 21A rom but it is fine on the 20A.
AT&T Notes get theirs tomorrow. Hopefully we get ours too/soon, maybe like the S2 did.

That's making a big assumption. T-Mobile may not even be thinking about JB for our phones. After all, they didn't sell very many of them to begin with. They may be focusing on getting updates out to their more popular phones (GSIII and Note II).
I would love to see JB from T-Mo, but i'm not holding my breath. Plus, with CM10 and Carbon ROM already at 4.2.2, it's not like we don't have decent JB options.
I would love to try a touchwiz based jb ROM though. But that means I would have to go back to stock unless ptmr wants to update his Jedi leader ROM if we even get jb... I don't see that happening though

S suite / touch wiz and wifi calling is what I miss on CM.
The closest thing I can suggest would be to flash the at&t version but use the "blaze" modem. If you do go this route make sure that the one that you flash is prerooted that way you can remove the at&t bloatware. Now you will loose the WiFi calling until someone can go through both two versions to find where the "WiFi calling" is located
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
Actually there are about 20k of this model in the wild. T Mobile made a deal with Samsung in order to get a jump on the Galaxy 4 they literally bought enough of this model to fill a warehouse. T Mobile then turned around and contracted their sales out to places like Costco and Wal-Mart where they are still being sold at a discounted price.

I wouldn't mind flashing the AT&T JB if it will fly - just to see what the feel is like.
I am quite dependent on WIFI calling, but I can always reflash the original and reload my apps I guess.
if anyone has already done this: if there are kinks, could you please post back?
If it does one out I would like to see what is different because from what I understand the Canada version has the pop out browser which the att version doesn't meanwhile both are missing the nav panel and multi Window

Wifi Calling is the only one I miss with CM based AvatarROM. The S Suite are just something there that I used 10% of the time. And I hated touchwiz. It makes my phone sllloooowwww and buggy. I'm loving my ROM now its fast, although not as smooth but still very stable.
I agree with that statement and I have wondered is there a way to compare the touchwiz from the att room and the touchwiz from tmobile to find the difference? I would be more than happy to wade through the code myself is someone could point me into the proper direction.....

just reading around the web, the JB release I think is inevitable. i717, s3 and s2 are out, the international version N7000 is out in some parts of the world [not all], so, its just t-mo that is slow at this point. could be any day, any hour.
then we'll all figure out what we hate about it and resume complaining....
Good point......
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I'm frankly on the fence here - reading through the AT&T version group's collective notes - I dunno what the gain is with JB.
that its new? there are a number of folks that have had troubles [this is not unusual - check google for any sort of notes on 'upgrade to jelly bean'] - shorter battery life, jerky performance, hangs, lags.
I am VERY happy with the stock/rooted/debloated performance I'm getting.
we just picked up a GS3. I was set to be dazzled by its performance etc and spent hours getting it nuked to the bone, then installing, rooting, debloating. To me, its not worth the extra money compared to what I paid for the note 1. there is neglible performance difference [i'm not gaming, so take that into consideration]. side by side, any fool on earth would pick the Note's display, not just because its bigger but it looks startlingly gorgeous next to the GS3. The GS3 had a bunch of wifi connectivity issues. I don't know if I have them all squashed yet or not - jury is still out.
there's more "interference ware" on the GS3 - things that are scanning in the background to tell you all sorts of dangers are lurking. some I could uninstall safely, some not. the Note, the way I have it config'd, is 'quiet' by comparison.
battery life looks like the Note wins so far. will know better once the GS3 is finalized and real use occurs a lot.
if it were strictly my call, I'd trade the 3 for another note 1.
jellybeans or not.... i prefer beefsteak.
What about beefsteak flavored jellybeans?

Thats true but we will always have problems until they release the official JB, we all suffer from the random reboots followed by the blue screen when running these roms....Im using rooted stock, that way I know everything works instead of finding out when I need to use a feature.
