No More Android, No More Revo

I was reading on one of the threads about how you can request to get a different replacement phone. Today, that is what I did. I have had this replacement revo for four days and it was starting to power cycle and the phone was real sluggish. I call tech support and told them that I don't want an android phone anymore because this is my nineth android phone in one year. I asked for a white 16g iPhone 4 and they said no problem. It is coming tomorrow. Now I am a happy Verizon customer.

Sounds like someone didn't know how to use their Android properly.

Just because the revo is bad doesn't mean all android phones are bad.
I just hate the idea of being locked into an iPhone, well I guess you can jailbreak it, but can you actually rom it and still get the full functionality out of it or close to it?

From what I heard it actually kills battery faster. If he wasn't satisfied with Android he might as well go to iOS since it's much more simpler.

True. I'm just glad I'm getting rid of my revo for a bionic, who cares if its the first dual-core, its a hell of a lot better than my revo lol.

I have had 4 android phones, and got my wife her first. I told her in a week she will love it, in two she will want to rom it.
Samsung Moment, Samsung Transform, HTC Desire, Samsung Galaxy, LG Rev, Pantech Crossover eh, 6 I was close.
Samsung sucked. The Moment would stall 5 times a day we called it the arrow of death. They gave me a Transform to replace it, which was a step down in phone. I said no thanks. Sprint sucks.
Samsung Galaxy was cool, but I had no need for that size of a screen, honestly that big size made me feel lacking in other areas, lol. So I got the Desire, which was awesome. But USC didn't have 3g in the LOU, so I got rid of it and came to Verizon.
The LG was the best phone I had ever had, it was blazing fast, easy to root, idiot proof, thanks to MT and Cubed for some help early on with MD5 mismatch issue. But I love Android, and have never had an issue with the platform. I have had issues with the phones, and carriers, but I am not going to take it out on the platform.
The Crossover is my wife's from ATT. Neat little phone with a full qwerty, for which I was instantly told not to brick it. You brick a phone once, and the wife doesn't let you hear the end of it. Jeez.

If I was going to ditch Android, I think I would have gone WP7. Joining the Nazi regime just doesn't sound like a lot of fun, but different strokes, different folks.

Right now, technologically, there isn't much of a draw as their phones are a little behind the techno-curve, however, with the introduction of W8, I believe this may spark development cross-platform between tablets and phones on W8, and I believe their lines of phones will continue to improve. (the integration with XBL is nice if you own one of those as well)
The compatibility with common Office products is not going to be bested, and the development for them should be significantly easier (in theory). They are also not as big as Apple in filtering what you can and cannot have access to. Apple comes with the selling of ones soul to their ecosystem. Basically agreeing that iTunes and iBooks (and all the DRM that comes with all their products) will become your way of life. Trying to depart from this life will cause you to lose what you have accumulated.
And as someone stated before: It's not Apple (an evil patent troll that sues everyone and everything in hopes that in the end, "there can be only one.")
Just remember: I said IF I were to move away from Android - that doesn't mean "WHEN."

Verizon's current WP7 offering sucks balls. It is under powered and small. However there are some nice WP7 phones. ATT has a nice phone or 2, HD7s and the titan.
Verizons trophy, while sucking balls, is a very smooth phone.

So I got the skyrocket. I wanted to wait for the Sony Ion, but all signs were pointing to a June release. There are a ton of phones coming out in the next few months man, crazy stuff. Htc Titan 2 will have a 16 mp camera. Gawd dang. The Sony will have 12, and quad cores, and dual cores oh my. Iphone has got to be limping right out of the gate this fall. I don't get the popularity.

Whatever you do though, don't base judgements just on megapixels alone. Megapixels mean nothing with a crappy lens. Just look at the articles on Droid-Life regarding the HTC One (or whatever it is).

I don't know how power cycling is my fault. The Droid X sucked balls. I went through four Droid X's last summer because of the power cycling and other bull**** issues. When I got the Revo it ****ed up during the gingerbread update. I guess that was my fault too. I borrowed my sister's HTC Incredible, that phone was power cycled really bad. Wait maybe I didn't know how to use that piece of **** either. Idk. The fact is that I used 3 different types of android phones and the phones didn't work properly. Go **** yourself!

Annoying logo on the front (Atrix HD) ...

Hey everyone,
I'm considering the Atrix HD as my next phone, but i can't stand how it has the AT&T log on the front like that. Does anyone have one that has tried removing it? if anyone has successfully removed it without damaging the appearance of the phone then I will definitely consider the Atrix HD. And please don't try to remove the logo for my sake and damage the appearance of your phone, this thread is just to see if anyone has already tried it on their own accord.
Thank you!

To my understanding, no you cant remove without damage. I have the Atrix 2 tho....

I have the Bell version and no logo on it. You can also turn off LTE on the Bell version. Are you thinking of buying it on contract or outright? If outright, look for one on the market place.

I would be getting it as an upgrade on an AT&T contract. I don't see the practicality in getting it outright because it was way more expensive.
And I will get over the logo ... but another factor other than the logo I almost forgot is that the Motorola update schedule fails. I had probably vowed earlier the same day of starting this thread that I would never get a Motorola phone again because their lack of updating is outrageous. How many phones do they have on ICS? One? My Atrix 4G was supposed to get ICS right about now but they changed the schedule to more or less say its up in the air whether we will get the update at all. So no doubt the Atrix HD is an awesome phone, Motorola makes some nice devices but their update policy has shaken my loyalty.

They seem to want to update phones after 2011 according to an article I read. They stated that their devices will receive the jellybean update or they will give you $100 to put towards one of the recently announced phones such as the razr m.

I don't understand why the black ones are on back order EVERYWHERE. Not a single place has them, so is it just not being shipped out by HTC, or are they going to come into stock "coincidentally" on the 15th day after the silver one so it can't be exchanged? Ugggg, I just want a stealth black One!

I want to see it first

Yep and don't try to get a black one by destroying the silver either, they will only replace color for color.

If you really pre-ordered the black one and pick it up tomorrow then you're one lucky man. I called up several local sprint stores and none of they have the black one in stock. They have no clue when they will get it.

Whats the likelihood of this phone getting more then one update of android?
I'm currently a evo 3d owner and I've been been eyeing this phone and the GS4.
I'm leaning more towards the s4 as the S2 came out a little after the 3d and is STIll getting upgrades, while
the ICS update for the 3d took forever and has basically been abandoned afterwards. Will this HTC phone suffer the same fate?
I'm not wealthy enough to buy every new phone that comes out and I'd prefer one with lasting power.

The thing this phone has going for it that the EVO 3d didn't is uniformity on all carriers. HTC is only releasing one flagship so that will be there only focus on updates and Sprint is usually the first carrier to update there phones stateside. Even thought Samsung obviously has more money to through at these things I have faith in HTC and this beautiful phone.

You are right. Sprint has a great track record and I also hope we stay close to the OEMs and get those updates as soon as they are announced at Google I/O but seriously Jelly Bean FLIES on this device already. You're not going to miss anything. Sense 5 is gorgeous

Verizon has a blue model, but Best Buy is selling a different shade of blue called "Metallic Blue" for Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T.

So long as the best buy version for sprint is blue with the black trim, pretty sure that's gonna be what I get. If it's the white trim, I'm just gonna stick with the black.

It's black trim. It's pretty sick looking.

I went to the HTC website. It looked as though they were advertising the exclusivity of colors as a good thing (BB- Metallic blue, Sprint red, Verizon blueish).
Just goes to show how desperate they are.

That's what I was thinking, especially seeing it on their website, but you never know. First time I saw it I thought "gee, that's lame. That black is so much cooler looking." Then I kept seeing it and it grew on me. Apple must have been channeling me, because when I saw it my first thought was to somehow get a color matched background for it. Then they released a whole line of phones based on that idea.

I don't think HTC can gamble with not doing something like this. Just because Samsung does it, doesn't mean HTC can't. You'd be surprised how many people choose a phone based on the color of its shell. More options means better chances of finding someone to want it. And to be quite honest, HTC's phone colors are MUCH better than what Samsung has brought to the table.

Very good point. I think this is a great way for any device manufacturer to breed new life into their devices and keep a sustaining profit. Just look at the new iPhones obviously there is some sense of reasoning behind all this marketing.
As for the cost factor it's a no brainer obviously all the hardware is still there platform OS everything all they have to do is coloring.

Well, in my opinion, the lines of platform OS is beginning to blur with all the iOS users switching to Samsung and vice versa. People want a phone that looks cool. Features are just an added bonus.

You make it sound like we have a problem with the variety of colors. I don't.
What I'm absolutely livid about is that I have buyer's remorse over a phone that is CURRENTLY a flagship, and that, if only I had waited longer, I could have gotten a different color.
Staggering the releases of colors (there's been a gold One spotted) and making certain colors carrier exclusive comes exclusively at the cost of the customer. If I can afford the damn phone, I don't want to still have to make sacrifices like not getting the color I want at the time I want or with the carrier I like.
It's redonkulous.

There are ways around that. Like looking for someone to trade, or selling your phone for whatever it's going for on Craigslist and taking that money and buying another one that might be available from a private seller. But they don't release them all at once like that because they need something to continue the steady sales. If they release all the colors at once, they won't continue to get buyers 3 months after its release.

I would look at it differently. The one has been out for a while now and they are late to the game. So why not let them have incentive to purchase a premium device that you helped pioneer by being on the bleeding edge. Colors are great but if it matters enough there are many ways around getting into that newest phone. However intoxicated I may become with the miasma of spectrum I still prefer the been here since day one, (Silver) One.
Lol next gimmick will be just that, (preorders) will get a special color.

This will probably be pretty popular. As it stands in the iPhone the most popular colored so far is yellow so I'm thinking the mass majority of consumers appreciate yellow hues. Personally I'd like to see contrast or custom collection like blue/orange, purple/yellow, red/green and maybe Oreo.

Branding on AT&T edge?

The fact the AT&T puts any sort of branding on a device they had absolutely zero impact on developing, producing, etc... really bothers me. Mainly because its so ugly and takes away from the look of the device.
Anyone knows if the edge will be subject to this unjust abuse?

Yep. Check out AT&Ts website. They put their logo on it. While it's not as intrusive as it could be, the fact does indeed remain that it shouldn't be there at all.

Agreed. Just the small Death Star below the camera instead of the word Samsung.
I'm curious to see how bad their bloat is. T-Mobiles is not bad but att rams more crap in their devices including that AWFUL Ready to go app the pops up on first boot. Ruins the set up process.

Wtf!!!?!!!!!!!! Why would they not put it where it says "Galaxy S6 Edge" that would actually almost be an improvement because Samsung shouldn't have put all that wording on the back to begin with.
I might get the Tmo just because of the branding. Smh. F*** ATT

Yikes, they just can't help themselves. Maybe they finally dumped the stupid browser bar.

That branding ugh...

I guess I'm wired. I actually don't mind the branding.

I wouldn't mind it if they would do it better. Like on the One m8/9 its not bad at all. But they removed the word Samsung for the damn logo? That unacceptable.
