Thanks for all the help, - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

But it's time to say goodbye. My N4 arrived and I won't be using my vivid anymore. My wife refuses to let me root her vivid, so my thoughts of sticking around are out the window. Again, just wanted to say thank you to everyone for all the help and advice with the vivid and popping my android cherry!

Yeah I saw you in the shipping thread, I ordered mine but 5-6 week wait. I'm going to keep the vivid though. I need a quality backup since my current backup is an ancient Motorola razr v3, and the few times I've had to use it, it sucks. Have fun with the nexus 4, I can't wait myself

Nexus or a phone that's getting ICS or one that has a good community with roms and such.

PM me if you're planning to sell your Revo
for me if i was gonna upgrade at this moment i would have to pick either the razr max or the lg spectrum dunno why but those 2 phones have caught my eye
I've just been on the Nexus for a day but I highly recommend it. Incredibly fast and smooth and tons of active development.

Yea i just ordered my nexus i didn't end up using my family members upgrade. Since I've had so many issues with my phone and had to get 3 replacements they sent me a nexus instead of a new Revo free of charge without changing my contract. Ill have it Monday or Tuesday. To be honest tho I was looking thru the nexus forums and like the Revo community a whole lot more. I don't know why but it just feels more like home here

Anyone planning to upgrade?

Is anyone planning to upgrade their device and is looking for a replacement to their current phone? What would it be? And why? I'm planning in a few months so I could use some opinions!!

I've been using IncS for just over a year now. I still think my phone is pretty good and fast for me. Now with ICS, it's even better. I believe it can at least last for another year.
Changed phone to one x. Nice ICS.

Was all in for one s but found the coating chipped problem on the black version, so decide to wait and see.
To me, give my IS duo core, a little better camera (It's already quite good), I will be happily stick with it for another year, it is just so overall nice compare to other phone.

Duo/Quad core with slightly better GPU and I'll use it for another 3 years.
My phone is currently with HTC service for changing USB port /mainboard. Depending on the condition it comes back,I'm sticking with my current phone.
Edit.
I mean I intend to stick with my IncredibleS. Served me well for a year, still has good value & mileage to last for another year,easily.

I just got my phone back from HTC, I sent it in because my power button was a bit dodgy, and my warranty is running out
Anyway I got it back, more than a month later, and it had a new motherboard, s-on with HBOOT 2.00.000
I had planned to sell it, and buy an Evo 3D, but after I took pictures for ebay, I decided to keep it, and I downgraded and rooted it
As soon as ICS arrives, I will be happy

Like everyone would ask!! If you used your one x as much you use incredible s daily what is the battery life you get??
Sent from my Incredible S using Tapatalk
Nexus Family is one of the best candidates.
My friend moved from InS to Galaxy Nexus for a month, And he told me that he wouldn't buy any other brand but Nexus.
The only current phone I would upgrade to would be the One S, and right now I have no plans to retire my Incredible S for the foreseeable future.

Well my IncS sure had a better battery life.
I would like my onex's battery to last longer, but I can live with it.
And the speed and smoothness is so much greater on this one. And I am running completely stock and not even rooted.
Also I am one of the lucky ones having almost none of the reported issues with the OneX.
So its clearly an upgrade I would recommend

Aah... Again... I guess it has something to do with cost control!! Btw whatever happened to the rezound ... Its disappeared suddenly!! Its a one s with 720p screen isn't it!! Would love to buy it for cheap!!
No one's planning for the s3... Just announced recently!! What's the thoughts on that?

The rezound is a Verizon US only phone.
My contract ends this time next year :/
IMO the galaxy s 3 looks ugly, if I wanted something else I would get a one s
It just looks good, fast, and cos the one x is too big

[Q ] Rezound to Bionic.

So I recently shattered the screen on my Rezound
Thinking of getting a Bionic since Big Red has them for free. What do you guys think of the Bionic? Is development going strong? And do ICS ROMs exist? Are they stable enough to be a daily driver? Any input is welcomed
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2
If your warranty allows it, get another Rezound.
Development is not that active. Eclipse is the only active Gingerbread-base ROM available. Team Gummy & Hive Dev are doing ICS ROMs but since the locked bootloader of the Bionic prevents kernel changes, ICS is not 100% functional.
Well I have insurance on my Rezound but I don't have the $99 for the insurance claim and I have an upgrade on my plan now. Anything is better than the DX I'm using right now haha

I agree. I have the Bionic and my wife has the Rezound. I feel like I got the short end of the stick here.
You're better off to stay with the X and save up the insurance deductible, IMHO.
That being said, the Bionic ICS ROMs are nice, but they all have the silly camera issues. Those might not be resolved until an official Moto ICS is released. You can take pictures using the cameras, but no video, and no barcode scanners, etc.
Eclipse is a nice Gingerbread ROM. It's what I'm running now.
What if I could have both? Haha the upgrade is my moms, so it won't add time to my line. And later I can send the Rezound in to the insurance and get it fixed. Then I will have both. I don't see the downside in trading this DX for a Bionic for free. Because I cannot stand this phone after having my Rezound.

I will chime in here and tell you im currently on my third bionic in a week and number 4 will be delivered tomorrow. I would STAY AWAY from this phone. If you do any web surfing from your phone you will have issues with this one. The bionic is known for data drop issues . But if you dont plan on using this phone for anything other then developement i would wait on the rezound .

Personally I'm a big fan of the Bionic. I got mine on release day last September and haven't had any major problems in all that time. I'm rooted and stock, with about 45 bloatware apps frozen. Each time there's an update I just unfreeze, update and refreeze with TiBu. Works great. If you don't want to spend the money for another Rezound I say go for it.
Unfortunately this is no longer an option for me. My girlfriend decided it would be a good idea to dump gatorade on her uninsured Rhyme. So now the upgrade will be going to her. Looks like I'll just have to bite the bullet and make an insurance claim

Maybe you need to take a phone 101 class, or buy from a different seller.

Lol phone 101 class? ?? I get my phones from Verizon . I cant help the data drop issues ( which is a KNOWN issue with this phone ) do a google search on the data drops and you will clearly see its not just me. If it dont bother you that the data drops off multiple times a day and you are used to sub par performance and you dont mind paying for data droppage thats you but I personally want my phone to work . The 905 update is rolling out to try and fix the DATA DROP ISSUE. There you have your first phone 101 lesson.

I'm not exactly new here since I've been a member since I got my HTC HD2 way back. I've just never contributed much to these forums. But I've always come here to find new roms and try cool things. I then moved up to a galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch. I ended up hating that phone so much. Sprints updates really messed it up. So I finally have my HTC One and its the best phone I've ever had. I used to do a lot of different custom Roms on the HD2 but not so much on my newer phones these days. I've only rooted my HTC One for now. I kind of like the Rom that came on it.
Not new to XDA but pretty new to the One forum. I'm coming from the S3, and the following: Motorola Photon, S2, HTC Evo Shift, HTC Evo 4g, HTC Hero, Samsung Instinct 2, Samsung Instinct. I'm sure a few more where in there along the way.
HTC One is hands down the best phone i've owned.

Man thats foolish, on the other hand if it would be the other way around you would have been so glad you traded your nexus 4 for a htc one. i know i would be.
I traded mine for a S4. That lasted 1 week and I traded back for a other One. I've had a lot of different phones to test and none have that feel like my HTC.
The S4 was nice but Touchwiz is not a well coded interface. Camera is over rated on the S4 and was my main reason for trading. It's not that much of an improvement over the Note 2 sensor.

Just got a new HTC One last night after selling my BB Z10 after a couple weeks (the BB really was nice but it has major issues with Contacts management & sync w/Gmail-Google Apps).
Anyway loving this One but I'm keeping my Note 2 because it's a fantastic phone as well; I have a cheap secondary tablet plan on a separate SIM so the Note 2 is now more like a mini-tablet.
While setting up the One today I ran thru all the test for defective sensors etc, and happily everything works. Once I scraped off the excess glue and other rough edges, the thing is now perfect
Not a recommend trade IMO.
