+1 - I bought an Inspire 4G and am just so impressed with it. Just an outstanding phone in all manners. It looks beautiful. It feels beautiful. It works beautiful. The OS (Android 2.2.1 overlayed with HTC Sense 2.0) is just so supremely smooth, responsive, fast. But I saw mine get smoother, quicker and cleaner running after a couple days break-in period.

Regarding the Droid, I would highly recommend going with the Inspire instead. The Droid, in my opinion from handling them at Verizon, just can't compare to the pure and supreme smoothness of the Inspire from AT&T. There is so much to love about the Inspire. The skins are just a pure excellent feature and devs here at XDA create some good ones as well as the available official ones. And if you do go with the Inspire and want the majority of the available skins, I can upload all of the one I gathered here at XDA for you. I thing I have like 30 or 40 skins in apk form...meaning you just install them like any normal app.

You also get the HTCSense.com phone finder for the Inspire and it works well. You get access to the HTC hub and "Likes". HTC is a real and huge player in the smartphone market and they do make the best phones, in my opinion.

Good luck to you with whatever you choose.

the milestone 2 is the one boooyyyy
[General Topics] darknessrise1234:
Okay. Let's add another perspective to this. I am also now considering switching back to an iPhone, or getting the Desire Z or the HTC Sensation. Opinions?
[General Topics] phomuabay:
i think milestone 2 (or hd2) is best for you
[General Topics] pahwoon:
If you're willing to spend the extra cash for the Sensation I'd say go for it. Latest and greatest sense 3.0 and all kinds of shiny stuff you may or may not need :D

Seriously though, it's the most recent and most technologically advanced out of the whole lot here.
[General Topics] inconceeeivable:
I'd probably wait for the Sensation. The Desire Z looks nice if you really want a keyboard, but it's super overpriced IMO. (You have to import it in the US, I think).

Please, please, please, do not buy an iPhone right now lol. The new one will probably be out in six months.

If you have to buy something right now, I'd buy in this order:

1. Inspire

2. Desire Z

3. iPhone

4. Milestone 2 (is there even a compatible version of this for the US?)
[General Topics] alexkalik:
i think milestone 2 is better

because it looks really cool
[General Topics] gamachan:
Milestone - I had the D1 since day one basically, and moving to a new phone was a really hard decision because I love having a physical keyboard...

However my need for faster proc trumped the need for a physical keyboard... I decided to go with the Thunderbolt... So far I am not missing the physical keyboard too much as the HTC IME works really well.
[General Topics] inconceeeivable:
Which Sense phones include Swype? I'd take that over a physical keyboard.
[General Topics] darknessrise1234:
Lets have 1 last revival of this thread. Hd2 or one of at&t's windows phone 7 devices?
[General Topics] inconceeeivable:
I'd avoid the HD2 if you're planning on using it with AT&T. You'd need the Telstra version--people seem to think it's worth twice as much as the T-Mobile US. Also, if you're using it as your main phone, keep in mind that the only OS it officially runs is Windows Mobile 6.whatever. Expect to tinker and experience bugs if you're going to run Android or WP7. It's a really cool project phone, but I wouldn't use it as a main device.

If you want WP7 and AT&T, I'd wait for the HD7S or whatever it's called. Or maybe import an AT&T-compatible device (Mozart maybe?). AT&T's current offerings seem pretty "blah" to me.

EDIT: In summary, based on price and availability, I'd go with the HTC Inspire...
[General Topics] darknessrise1234:
Well I'm a true tinkerer (is that a word?) And everything I get, I think,"lets hack it in whatever way possible." I am completely used to experiencing bugs. But the only phone I consider from at&t is the inspire, atrix, or the samsung focus (not including the iphone) I only look at the hd2 because of being able to hack and change in so many ways. that's like heaven to me.
[General Topics] MartyLK:
The iPhone would be the most reliable choice. If it were me and I was making the choice of the phones you mentioned, I would go with the iPhone.

But now that you have included the Samsung Focus, you really can't go wrong with that one, either.
[General Topics] darknessrise1234:
With the iphone I know what I'm getting into because I had an iphone for 3 years. I'm only hesitant to do windows phone 7 because I'm not too friendly with my aria when I thought I would be.
[General Topics] MartyLK:
WP7 is actually Microsoft's version of an iPhone. It is smoother, cleaner and more elegant. Things work more conveniently also. So far, after the NoDo/Samsung firmware update, mine has been perfect. Amazing reliability. Mine is 24GB, but adding a 32GB card would give you 40GB of storage. Something iPhone doesn't yet offer. But WP7 currently lacks much of the features other systems have which are supposed to be added in the upcoming Mango update sometime around the end of the year.

Yeah, the more I have my Focus, the happier I get. But if you do go with a Focus...it has 8GB internal memory...and want to add a card, I recommend using a class 4 or class 6 card.
[General Topics] darknessrise1234:
Right now I have a class 4 card but it's pretty slow. But I've also considered the htc surround due to me being such a music lover. Even the quantum for it's keyboard.
[General Topics] MartyLK:
Yeah...that throws a wrench into it. The iPhone is the sure winner for music playing. It is actually a music player with smartphone functionality built in. They have seperate high-quality audio chips. The WP7 devices rely on an SoC (System on Chip) design that provides everything...CPU, graphics, audio...and it isn't too well with high quality audio. Though my Focus sounds better than it did before the update, it still can't even compare to the quality of the iPhone.
[General Topics] darknessrise1234:
Well I don't need super high quality. My aria does fine with quality, but terrible with battery while listening to music
[General Topics] duboi97:
Any galaxy s phone has great sound quality due to voodoo (:
[General Topics] darknessrise1234:
I'm honestly leaning towards the focus due to great screen, good things on battery life and I've also heard gorilla glass was used. I don't tend to drop phones, but when I do, it's bad
[General Topics] darknessrise1234:
I've found my final candidates. I want any ones opinion here. The samsung focus, htc hd7, or the htc hd2. Keep in mind I need power and decent battery life, as I am not near my charger often.
[General Topics] MartyLK:
I'd say the Focus would provide the best BL. But it isn't much more than the others. The HD2 seems to have really good BL with a custom WinMo ROM and specific radio. But the glory of the HD2 is its ability to use Android and other ROMs. However, my experience is the BL sucks horrendously with other ROMs. WinMo provides the best BL for it.

The HD7 is certainly a glorious phone but the BL I experienced on mine left a lot to be desired. And all 3 of those phones use the same or very similar hardware specs. The HD7 is actually...in my view...an updated HD2. The Focus has the best overall hardware with 8GB of internal memory and an expandable slot for up to 40GB with a 32GB card.

If I were debating these three, I would go with the Focus or Hd2. If you get bored, the HD2 provides outstanding customization options. I could never part with mine under any circumstances. But make sure to get the T-Mobile US version. It has more internal memory for all the custom ROMs. However, on a negative side, it would be locked to T-Mobile's 3G data network. If T-Mobile get's absorbed by AT&T and AT&T doesn't continue T-Mobile's 3G/4G bands, you will be restricted to cellphone and Edge network usage on the HD2 with AT&T.

In all likelihood, I would go with the Focus. It has the better display and BL of the three. And mine, after NoDo/FW update, is perfect. I'm using a Sandisk 16GB C4 card and finding it to be trouble-free. But after the update it seems all cards are working well now. Amazon was selling a 32GB C4 card about a week ago for under $70. That would have made an excellent setup for my Focus if I were starting fresh.

Another thing to be concerned about with the HD7 is hardware quality. I went through 3 faulty units before finally getting a 4th flawless one. Not so with the Focus.

If you can live with Edge data or WiFi only on the Hd2, it would be the prime one to have. Otherwise, look for a Focus.
[General Topics] isdfoa:
if you're looking for a physical keyboard, epic 4g is the way to go my friend!
[General Topics] darknessrise1234:
Well when it comes to 3g, I get it for maybe 19 seconds on a highway where I live. No where else. So I typically just stick with wifi. I agree with you in the hd7. But I absolutely need battery life, especially when listening to music. My aria dies in 3 hours of listening to music on cm7 7.0.2.
[General Topics] darknessrise1234:
Okay I know this thread has lived long enough. But I need one final opinion. HTC inspire or HTC surround?
[Defy General] antony.ps:
I bought a 16GiB Class 4 SD card yesterday (6-7 mb/s write, 18-20 mb/s read), and was wondering if it's a good idea to partition it. Have seen many people saying that a separate partition speed up the phone, because frees internal memory. But Defy already has 2GiB internal, with all my apps instaled on the phone (I don't install on SD) I still have 600-700 MiB of free internal memory.

Anyone here uses app2sd? It really speed up the phone? There's another choice that i haven't seen to speed up the phone with this new SD?
[Defy General] ABC_Universal:
There is no need to use app2sd until the internal faster rom is used up.
[Defy General] antony.ps:
Thanks. Was wondering if the SD card could be quicker than internal memory.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xporter:
The best way for the backup is to use Titanium Backup, you will find a free version on the market. You can backup all Apps and Systems Settings. It is easy to use and works very well with my SGS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve50:
Thanks again, looked at titanium on the market, looks good, but it says i need to root phone which i'm not brave enough to do, any other good backup apps out there.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myrddral:
If you don't root your phone, you won't be able to do backups with data. Your best shot is to backup apps via file manager (ES File Manager, File Expert...) but then the Market won't update them anymore.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dubie76:

i dled it on the phone, and it still only makes ad-hoc since kernel doenst support full function.

dl to the xoom? i dont see how it works but i will try........
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poisike:
You need to download it to your phone, but if your phone doesn't support infrastucture mode then it probably won't work.

I think I did read somewhere that X10 will get an Android update soon, this should fix the problem.

I have been using my DHD (android 2.2.1 stock rom) with stock wifi hotspot app as an access point for my Xoom without any problems.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.vercetti:
Finally i did it.

Hi guys. Just a heads up for you, last night i was able to tether my x10 with my Xoom, i did not rooted my new Xoom because i just got it and i don´t want to loose my warranty just yet, so i tried to figure it out a way to make the x10 work on the Xoom, and last night i successfuly done this with bluetooth tethering. Works great, i just downloaded J's new CM7.0.3, after instalation i downloaded Wireless Tether from the Market and used Bluetooth functionality.

Since the new Kernel supports Iptables and Netfilter i was able to use it without problems. Any questions post here, i will try to help the best way i can.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_wrong_0:
If you root the xoom you can make it see ad-hoc networks by switching out the wpa_supplicant file.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.vercetti:
Yeah Mr_Wrong, i know that, but as i said in my previous post, i just got my Xoom and i don't want to loose my warranty already, that's why i started a battle with my X10 to make it support bluetooth PAN or Infrastructure tethering mode. So i did it without loosing my Xoom warranty.

But just for now anyways, soon or later my Xoom will be rooted, i just think it's too early for that right now.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hipBob:
Sorry if this is a duplicate post. Due to the wording I wasn't having much luck with the search.

Following some advice from other threads in terms of maintaining better battery life. Running VEGAn with 5.1.1 supplement. Primarily I've adjusted display brightness, turned off synching, removed all unnecessary apps, etc. Whenever I start to get low I check out what's been eating my battery, and it seems 'Android System' is always running at like 80+%. Is that normal when in usage? Looking at what's included within that package I'm just surprised. From my phone (Droid X) display always is the big draw, and I guess I was expecting the same, combined with program usage (like if I was playing hours of games).

And in terms usage, I'm primarily web browsing. Some game playing in there, but not much else. I am running Launcher Pro, but that doesn't seem to be causing any issue.
