Hey guys i want to bu me a cheap second phone and now i want to know if the dream with a custom rom does it´s job for this?
Best phone of its time, still best keyboard out there, lots of custom roms to choose from. Depending on what your looking for its a great first phone but a perfect backup

Many advantages to the G1 as either a first or second phone:
It is usually the most affordable Android Phone in various auction sites
Rugged dependibility
Can't discount the "chic cool" of owning the VERY FIRST Android phone
Even if you purchase a damaged one, most parts (LCD Screens, entire cases, keyboards, USB ports, speakers, trackball, and digitizers to name a few) are comparitively cheap, and fairly easy to replace
It works VERY WELL in stock form. And rooting/customizing/modding is fairly easy IF YOU READ UP FIRST (As a aside, it's also easy to "brick" if you DON'T READ AND FOLLOW DIRECTIONS)
Running custom ROMs is real easy. I tend to have 5-6 on my SDCard at any one time, and switch between them at random times (For this, you may want it as a "backup phone", because while you're messing with it in Fastboot and Recovery, you ain't gonna get any phone calls and texts)
I use my G1 as my "main". I bought it for $30 on eBay (was an accidental purchase...lol...Forgot I even bid on it), and except for a small crack on the 'chin', and a "bulged battery, it was perfect. After buying a HUGE battery/back cover for it (about $15), I get 2+ days of use. That's with WiFi, 3G, apps running like mad, and using 4 GB of data last month.
In conclusion, you can't really go wrong with it, as long as you buy a working one. If it isn't working, you MIGHT be able to get it back to life.
Good luck
As an all around phone it's find. A bit sluggish on processor-intensive apps like turn-by-turn navigation, but fine otherwise.
Best phone ever
A very solid backup. Mine served me well for a couple of years, although I literally had not touched it since I upgraded to my Atrix last May.
Today the Atrix battery has crapped out on me. Still not taking any charge even after being on a charger all last night, all day at work, and since I've been home. I'll probably need to replace it, but when I got home tonight, I found my good 'ole G1 in a drawer of abandoned phones.
Even after sitting idle for over a year, it still powered on immediately, and is running like a champ. As great as the Atrix has been, I still miss this phone on occasion. I'm kind of looking forward to playing around with this one again for a few days.
If you can get it cheap (30ish bucks) then yes it's the best backup phone that money can buy. If not you'd be better off with something like a Nexus One or similar
The g1 is a great phone go for it but as for a true phone that lasts forever the old nokia with only snake and a one colour screen xD i turned it on after being in a loft for four years working perfect

Hey guys,
I have a galaxy Nexus on Verizon. My girl friend HAD an HTC Vivid on AT&T.
Her phone recently broke and she needs a replacement. We don't have much money, so I started looking on ebay for some cheap phones on AT&T that I could get her. Originally I would have liked to get her some kind of Nexus phone, but they are all expensive.
I noticed the Galaxy S captivate is widely available on ebay, and it can be purchased for around half the price of the galaxy s 2. It seems to be around $70 on ebay.
I was considering buying this phone and putting CM10.1 on it.
Considering the price and performance of this phone, does this sound like a good idea? Will my GF be happy with it? I don't think she will miss not having 4G.
Thanks.
I've been running 10.1 nightlies with no problem for the last month.
You might just install the monthly M build on it.
The captivate is an awesome phone. I have a gs3 and my old captivate will do almost anything that my gs3 will grant it the gs3 is a lot faster at it. Development is awesome for the captivate too. Don't think you could go wrong with the cappy. I was running 4.2 aosp before my upgrade and it ran great.

I purchased one with a slightly cracked screen for forty bucks on ebay. It seemed like a good deal. I'm trying to find a cheap replacement digitizer. I have successfully replaced a few screens with no damage to the phone/laptop/tablet, but each smartphone is different so I hope it isn't too hard to fix the captivates.
I'm looking forward to putting a rom on it. My only concern for my GF is if she will really miss the lack of an LED on the back to use as a flash light. I wasn't aware of that missing.

If you want a reliable phone with great development this far into the life of the device than do yourself a favor and grab a Capdaddy. I've had mine since its release and I am not looking to upgrade anytime soon.
Great Value for money.

Apart from Battery Backup Front Cam and LED Flash this phone has everything with Strong body panel.
I am running CM 10.1 and it is working lag free.

I get that it has no front cam or LED flash, but what do you mean by battery backup?
And I am excited for it to arrive so I can start tinkering with it and give it to her.
Go for the Samsung Captivate Glide

If I were you i would consider a newer phone. While i love my 2.5 yo cappy, and have ported and polished the heads... er I mean rooted rommed, upgraded and inverted it, its still is a 3 year old phone. Att has free phones (with year contract) like the Samsung Captivate Glide, with 8 meg camera, dual core CPU, slide out keyboard and front facing camera. Not sure how hack able it is, but if it is a SG captivate at heart things should work fine.

For 4 g try the GS II
I cannot post the link, but search att.
It is also .99 cents.
AND No I do not work for or even like Atnt.
I think it goes without saying that we are locked into a contract and are unable to take advantage of the subsidized phones.

edit: things aren't going so well. I wish I knew it had so many GPS issues. Mine has busted usb pins -.-
Busted usb pins sucks. Was it $40 functioning as is? When $70 on eBay or craigslist you usually get a good deal. You can try yer hand at soldering and get a new port for about $5 or send it to be fixed for about $30-$40. By battery they meant its almost three years old so the battery is not the best. You can get some slim extended batteries really cheap or any battery that works for the Sprint GS2 Epic Touch 4G, but not the other S2's. All in all its a great phone though. Hellybean and Captivating "newest m2 build seems to be a little buggies for most" 4.2 ROMS are running amazing on it. I've heard great on slimbean too. 4.2 is the best my Cappy has been yet.

I am currently running a Vivid (Raider here in Canada) as my daily driver and I love it as she probably did as well.
The actual usability will be very similar to your nexus as cm10.1 is very vanilla user experience. As long as she doesn't need too much power it will be a great phone. The size, weight and screen are the reason I bought one again.
If you are not familiar with running custom roms, it will be a little bit buggy, but mine hasn't had any problems so far. Great phone and $70 is a reasonable price. (I got my first for $60 brand new and second for $20 barely used from a friend)
Keep in mind you can buy ANY android phone and unlock it quickly and for free or little cost.:good:
I do a bit, it's not a bad phone. Just not many custom roms. I should of researched it before, but I know now lol. I should of spent the extra 100 and get the one X at the time. I will probably keep the phone and use it for 1 more year as my main phone, what about everyone else?
also thanks to homeslice for sense4 and the all the other devs that have supported this phone.:good:
I regret it a little as well becasue of the low amount of devolpment for the phone but Homeslice's Sense 4.1 rom makes it alright. Hope that there will be a 4.2 rom for it.
Yeah I regret it a little too. I remember standing in the store debating between the vivid or the skyrocket. I kind of wish I got the skyrocket....
But I only have another month and I can get a new phone...what to get???

lil bit. i also wish i had bought the one x at the time i got mine. but im happy with what we have. even if its not much. big thanks to the devs. :good:
Yep, very much so.
I got it on launch day, but I was deciding between the regular SGS2 and the Raider. Going off of the presence of LTE, a friend's opinion of the DHD, and how solidly built that phone was, I decided to give HTC my business. A huge mistake. The build isn't holding up as well as the DHD's is (I have since bought my friend's DHD, as he upgraded to a SGS3, and use it as my DD), as I have noticeable bronzing of the volume and power buttons, along with the clear coat chipping off the plastic near said buttons. This is only after about 8 months (and no drops) of active DD use, not even the two years (and four drops) that the DHD has endured. Sense 3.x is also nowhere nearly as nice as Sense 2.1. Another huge issue is that the DHD can easily make a full day with moderate to heavy usage; my Raider's battery lasts 8 hours maximum, regardless of usage.
Yes I do. There was a decent development community before the dev wars and then they all went their separate ways leaving the Vivid to die. Some devs have their own sites but the reason I bought this phone was because of the hype behind it. First we had a locked bootloader, then s-off took months to achieve, then dev wars. I'll be MUCH more selective with what phone I will buy from now on as a result. Not buying right away and certainly not buying from ATT will be on my checklist from here on out. Homeslice and WC have done an excellent job keeping this device alive throughout the crisis. I love Sense but cannot justify buying HTC with all of the hoops you have to jump through to use the device the way you want to. Here's to hoping the next phone I buy will be friendlier.

Got the phone, no I don't regret it mostly because of the LTE capability. At the time I was looking at the Raider, Atrix 2 and the Vivid. All things considered (like HTC/ATT's upgrade software once and forget you policy) I probably should have gone with the Atrix, but I was an HTC lover at the time (having had the original Tilt and Tilt 2).
Next phone however will not be an HTC. I don't like the HTC One XL (no SD storage) and being able to get the ability to flash a custom Rom is increasingly becoming a pain in the ass with HTC. Just my 2 cents.
Yeah I regret it even now. I've replaced both me and my wife's vivids with nexus 4s but we're still under contract for the things till next year. I wanted the one x, but got sick of waiting on an announcement for it so I was considering just a regular non lte gs2. A friend of mine said lte was awesome, so I looked at the skyrocket instead and it was $199, the vivid was $99 and had damn near identical specs so I went for it. Loved it initially but after about 2 or 3 months of terrible battery life I decided I was going to buy whatever nexus phone came out Christmas time.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
No I don't regret it.
I came from Garminfone where there's ZERO developer community to the Raider/Vivid. Whatever there is here is more than I had
LTE: I don't have a data plan anymore as of this morning. I did have unlimited LTE with Bell in Canada for 6 months, but did not use it enough to warrant $60/month for the data plan after the free 6th month. WiFi will have to suffice for the 2 years left in my contract.
The phone has been fun to play with, but feature wise, I've grown bored with it.
I don't regret getting this phone at all. There may have been phones at the time that had "better" hardware (the stock rom on the GS2 is super smooth) but the coders who work, or have worked, on the Vivid have done an absolutely amazing job.
Remember back when CM was just a pipe dream? Now it's functional (with a few kinks, but I'm confident the devs can figure that stuff out.)
I haven't tried many roms, but from what I've experienced they beat the stock rom by a nearly infinite amount.
HTC made a great phone with the Vivid. If you don't believe me, stop by xda in a few months and compare the current state of development with what you are witnessing. Eyes wide open, jaw dropped I'd imagine.
Let me share my experience that so far I have got with this phone.
My last phone was the HTCOX, and I believe the camera resolution was way more better than this one.
Unless I'm applying wrong settings, I don't see to get good pix. They are coming too pixelated.
What do you think?

I don't regret getting the phone, it being my first android phone and all, I've loved using the phone. Sure there's not enough development going on for it but the developers that are actually doing things for this phone are doing great jobs. It is strongly built, the only body flaw is the bronzing of the volume keys and lock button. The hardware is still up to standard. All in all a decent phone

I am very glad I got this phone. It has been solid, reliable and has done everything I've ever asked it to do. I was fortunate to fall in with WC early on as a vivid beta tester. I am currently running a beta ROM (might not be publicly released) from WC and it is incredible. Fast, stable and outstanding battery life.
I foresee this phone carrying me through for another two years at least.
This fall I will ditch my overpriced AT&T service plan and hook into either the T-Mo $30 plan or the Straight Talk $45 plan. The money I save will go toward a new unlocked phone down the road.
I really don't hate htc anymore. And that's why I regret that phone. Didn't look into the fine details, I seriously believed it to be HTCs flagship device on at&t. Nope, it was the budget friendly lte phone. It didn't make a big splash nor was it intended too, just a phone with a $99 price tag intended to sway holiday shoppers.
For every galaxy s that comes out, Samsung releases 200 crap models, and as for htc? The sensation was the flagship, the vivid was your Samsung Galaxy ace. Nuff said.

The thing is that this was the flagship phone and was marketed as such. In SF there were billboards everywhere with this phone along with lte branding everywhere. It was being sold for 200 on contract for 3 weeks and because it didn't sell well they dropped the price to move more units. 3 months later the one X dropped and this phone faded into the sunset. I even wrote to HTC wondering why our phone was booted to the legacy section after 3 months and they gave me the runaround. The HTC M4 will likely release in another couple of months. And will be for a larger audience because of its smaller size. HTC never changed. They won't be wasting my time or getting my money any longer.

I don't think it means much that it was on a billboard, I mean at&t is marketing the hell out of the HTC first right now, I wouldn't consider it a flagship by any means.

It was all over the city and they had TV commercials all over the bay area for it as well. At the time, Verizon was the only carrier with an active LTE network and ATT needed this flagship phone, the first LTE phone, to get in the consumers hands. They handled the support for this phone poorly plain and simple.

How is the Nexus 4 on AT&T? do you get HSPA? or is it strictly 2g/EDGE?
Yeah I get hspa+, usually 6-12mb, it's not bad at all. Just make sure they don't mess with your plan and put the apn in from your vivid, otherwise you'll get stuck on the regular 3G plan. At&t did that to my wife.
Actually it was a big mess. I got mine in January, and I needed a micro sim. I went to the store, and the manager ended up taking care of me, and she gave me a micro sim, didn't mess with my account, and I was on my way. Well when my wife got hers in march, same thing went in there for a micro sim, but got a regular employee this time. When we got back her data wouldn't work at all! So I checked the account, and for whatever reason the idiot deleted her data plan all together! So I call at&t and get it back but they put her on the regular 3G plan for smartphones and the Vivid apn wouldn't even connect! Finally I talked to an employee on live chat the next day and got them to put her back on the lte plan!
So make sure they don't tamper with your account! Either that or get a sim cutter and try it out!

I've been thinking about getting either the Nexus 4 or the LG optimus G. Basically the same phone, I have another year on my contract but the Vivid is quickly dying out. After that I will probably jump to Tmobile as it will be cheaper than AT&T even with my corporate discount.
Yeah the nexus 4 was a no brainer for me, I was sick of my vivid, and I am under contract until march 2014, so it was the cheapest option. It's a nice phone especially for the price. But its not perfect either, I will warn you. Camera is a downgrade from the vivid, it doesn't suck, and in well lit rooms the camera is just as nice. But in low light, the vivid owns it. Also build quality doesn't suck but it's not built as nice as the vivid. It seems well built out of the box, but there are gaps between the screen and bezel that tend to get dust stuck in them and over time the back glass develops a slight creaking sound to it. Also the chrome around the outside edges gets scuffed, poor design choice imo, should of used a flat silver instead.
Figured I'd lay it to you straight. It's an excellent phone but it's not perfect. And make sure you get a case if you get one, back glass is very slick and the phone tends to make suicide dives on its own when you just sit it down. Happened to me twice, luckily, no damage.

When my wife's Galaxy 2 Skyrocket got its SECOND upgrade (originally Gingerbread, upgraded to ICS, then upgraded to Jellybean) and when HTC said that the Vivid would NOT get an upgrade to Jellybean, that was what made my mind up that this was the last HTC phone that I would own. I've had three, but I am done with HTC. That S4 looks sooooo good!

I thought the same thing this is the last htc i will buy.
My Optimus G arrives Friday, looks like just in time as the forum is dying again (the 2nd time since I have had my Vivid.)
Yeah the phone is getting old and people are getting their early upgrades now. If cyanogenmod would of came last summer, development might still be going but now, too little too late.
Lesson learned for me, if it's not a popular device, don't upgrade to it. Yeah at first I was happy but a couple months in, the honeymoon was over and the bugs of sense 3.6 that were never address, terrible battery life, and no actual roms outside of modified stock roms had me plotting a plan to get a galaxy nexus... But by the time I had the money, the nexus 4 was out, and well that's a no brainer

Well it is sad to say this but I have officially retired my HTC Velocity 4G. I said before that this phone will be my last HTC but the HTC One was just to cool to ignore.
