[EVO 4G General] Mike Fitz:
If this was being released tomorrow instead of the 3D I'd be upgrading. I passed on 3D TV and I'll likely pass on a "3D" phone as well. It just screams "Gimicky" to me, especially with "3D" in the name and being the main feature being advertised.

I do like the looks of the 4G+ backside a lot.

Hmmm... that sounds a little odd.
[EVO 4G General] lowspeed:
Could they make it any thicker? it doesn't even have the kickstand.
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
Engadget has a great video of the phone:

[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
They do make cases with kickstands. I know it's not as elegant, but it might be just as good.
[EVO 4G General] :
Damnit people get over the 3D gimmick. This phone is Exactly the same but it doesnt have 3D and it has the same cam as the evo 4g. The 3D has "3D" and twin cams which takes better pictures. You guys just need an excuse to hate.

Obi Wan, your my only hope!
[EVO 4G General] chrisr407:
I wish it came with the kickstand. Thats something I will miss, I sure hope I can get ahold of one of these guys. This one seems way more practical for ur average user. I mean who really needs to shoot 3d videos besides James Cam? I also here its a pain to take a photo. My guess is that it will defiantly hit the US. Why Wouldnt it? I think its Genius and I bet it out sells the EVO 3d.
[EVO 4G General] chrisr407:
How can One 5mp camera take better pictures than one 8 mp camera?
[EVO 4G General] chrisr407:
I bet someone could build one into a back plate. Shhh. I think I spoke to soon.;)
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Because pixels are about as relevant as a core's clock speed.
[EVO 4G General] lowspeed:
What's the point of 8 mp if the picture is grainy full of noise lacks shadow details and is huge ?
[EVO 4G General] apheonixboy:
Then buy a Digital Camera if you want real nice pictures. Its a Phone!!!
[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
Or just buy a GSII and save money by only needing one device.
[EVO 4G General] CDKJudoka:
Now this, I would get. The camera bump doesn't look as ugly, but it does need the kickstand. And also have a white one like the 4G has. It makes it look like a stormtrooper.

After playing with the shooter that I have now on my Evo, I am pretty impressed. I did come from a Samsung Moment and a Crackberry Bold 9700, so that isn't saying much.
[EVO 4G General] Genjinaro:
Actually I think we all could use what this has:

http://www.electronista.com/articles/10/07/09/nokia.n8.sample.photos.released/

If there is anything I envy about Nokia's phones, its the Carl Ziess lens & huge sensor in the camera & xenon flash.

Unrivaled camera on a blah smartphone.
[EVO 4G General] skyflyt:
kickstand FTW
[EVO 4G General] bumsock:
:( I'd have a 2mp camera on my phone before I had one with Symbian on it lol. (NokiaN8)
[EVO 4G General] jxr94:
Lmfao the only difference on the back is that the e3D has another camera where this 4G + has the letter/numbers "8mp"

People will complain about anything. If we would've gotten this instead and then the 3d was being released, everyone would complain about not getting the 3d. Its not coming to sprint so get over it.

/rant
[EVO 4G General] Genjinaro:
Exactly, its crazy.
[EVO 4G General] bumsock:
I would have rather they had released this one.The EVO 3Ds "3D" will probably be something neat for a while... you may show your buddies at work...kind of like a novelty at first but unless everyone has EVO 3Ds you know, you'll have to show them any pics/videos you took on "your" phone because a lot of devices do not support the format that the 3Dpictures/vids are taken in(letalone the screen). And the 3D "still" pics are only 2mp,and l don't think the EVO 3D can do 1080p video either. it would however be really neat on movies but I don't see myself watching a full length feature on my phone anytime soon.
[EVO 4G General] jxr94:
I need and explanation as to why an extra feature is a drawback to the phone. Even if the 3D wears off, you can still disable it. The only legitimate argument anyone can make is that this phone might can do 1080p and the 3d can't. That's it. All of these other arguments are superficial, and visual appeal is important, but to deny that the 3d is a successor or that this slightly inferior phone is better is just plain dumb. Also, I feel like some people here are obsessed with numbers. Megapixels are for size, not quality.
[EVO 4G General] bumsock:
it's not necessarily the mega pixel size issue,it's the compromise for the "3D" camera..For me... I'm not speaking for anyone else... but the camera on the sensation is good enough and does good video...again for me...Would rather see a normal camera like the one here and I'm well aware of the arguments if you need a better camera just use a real one but it's obvious especially now even more than a few years ago...these devices we call "phones" now are allinone devices..and like anything else with the progression of technology, things get better qhd hi res screens quadcore processors and so on...as do the cameras on these phone/computer/camera/gps all in one devices we have. So...for me...once again I would rather have this phone over the current EVO3D..just preference ,I like taking pics and have my phone on me all the time...for the simple fact that with the camera it has its a more..complete phone..for me...
[EVO 4G General] jxr94:
Ok, with your provided explanation, I completely understand why you would want this over the E3D. However my follow up question is that what is everyone using as evidence that this phones camera takes better quality shots? Again, I respect your decision, its just since I have someone who would provide a meaningful answer that I ask.

And just in case anyone feels like these posts are an attack, they weren't. Its just, I don't want possible buyers to be dissuaded because of speculation and incorrect assumptions because then they are missing out on an opportunity.
[EVO 4G General] ben.nesheim:
3D is cool neat feature of the new phone and its right on par with lg coming with one and im sure samsung and so on have one in the works as well. i'd just rather PAY for different changes other than 3d thats why the "just dont use it" idea just does float my boat. why pay for something that i don't wanna use. but to settle the people that is MY choice not anyone elses. Just sayin that is a reason why a 3D phone may not be right for some.

To the "why don't you carry a digital camera" instead of using ur phone....

cuz i don't carry a purse most digitals worth a damn (or cost a crap ton cuz its tiny) don't quite fit in my pocket and my phone is already big enough :P

the features i would have hoped for instead of 3D would be a better quality camera as in physical lens/camera at at least 8mp cuz i can just send them off and remove them from my phone so space is no issue, a dual core something/tit bit more ram doesn't have to be fastest of the fast cuz i'd like it last 5 min on battery, the screen could use a crisper one but ya. just a few thoughts of an addicted smartphone user.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Phone_Guru:
I've just seen the video for the Nokia N9 UI. It would be amazing if somebody could make a launcher that incorporates some of the features such as the swipe to get home and the multi tasking.

Sorry if this thread should be put somewhere else
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mahsan988:
Hello everyone. I dont currently own the incredible 2, but I am thinking of buying it soon. My decision is contingent upon ONE question;

I want to have my phone rooted and run different roms, yet I also want to unlock the sim because I will be going to school in the carribean soon, and would love to use my android phone over there, through whatever prepaid gsm phone service available there.

can someone tell me if both of these events (rooted [with S-OFF] and unlocked SIM) are possibly simultaneously?

Thank you for your help
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TB13:
As of right now there is no public root because the s-off toll hasn't been relesed. It should be out in a few days though. As for the sim unlock I can't help you with that. Wait for the s-off tool and maybe then it will be possible to unlock the sim.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bik2101:
the unlock shouldn't be a problem. i think you can just call verizon and have them give you an unlock code. from what i've read, they will do that pretty easily for existing customers.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] littlebo:
Next step after s-off is to donate alpharev guys for sim unlock ) XTC just wipe seczone to clear all locks, maybe it can be done without any gold cards etc ...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] voxigenboy:
correct, i called and said that i wanted to unlock mine.. the guy replied "what do you mean unlock?".. so i explained that i go out of the country regularly to visit family and would like to use my SIM from another phone in this one so that I don't have to carry around 2 phones. the guy said ok and transfered me to the international dept and they gave me the unlock code.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] vip7070:
Living outside the US and just do unlock contacting swiftunlocks@gmail.com by email and request unlock code for my DInc2. Processing time was about 10 minutes and it costs for me $21.

I just enter 8dig code and phone recognize alien sim card.

PS: Handset is sooo sexy! Much more than Thunderbolt
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
The post directly above yours claims Verizon offers the SIM unlock code free of charge. There's no reason to pay $21 for a free service.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Gwalcmai:
Unlock DInc 2 Sim

I called Verizon International Support last week to unlock my SIM. They also sent me the instructions, which are as follows:

If customer has a Verizon Wireless SIM card in the Device:

Go to: Settings -> Security -> Disable SIM card lock + Enter

Enter the SIM Unlock code when prompted.

If customer has non-Verizon Wireless SIM card in the Device:

Power cycle the device

Enter the SIM Unlock code when prompted (This will occur when device is powering up)​

I am not sure if the unlock code is specific to the model of the device or the IMEI. If someone can post to let me know and it is just generic for the model, I'll post the unlock code. :-)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] junknstuff:
unlock codes are never generic. whoever wants to unlock will have to call 611 for their personal code.

i currently have a sim unlocked inc2. im wondering if the OP's question is:

1. will the factory unlock stick after root and /or flashing roms

or 2. will there be a software unlock available after root/s-off is avail
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nhtu:
Problem

i have HTC INcredible 2

Ive recently unlocked gsm,by pass active, but can't change to GSM mode ( always show CDMA mode)

change to GSM mode , Incredible 2 show

"there is no Sim Card on your device . Your device will switch to CDMA mode now"

try another Sim card , change to GSM mode ,still show ""there is no Sim Card on your device . Your device will switch to CDMA mode now""

-Factory reset and try another sim always show "there is no Sim Card on your device . Your device will switch to CDMA mode now""

My incredible 2 , new in a box 100%

Unlocked by code (8 digi)

Solution ??? help
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] vip7070:
The main problem is that I'm living overseas and do not have an actual vzw account.

So it was a great soulution for me to pay 21 bucks for the correct unlocking code provided

PS: Handset is much more interesting then my previously used HTC Aria, camera works great and display is brilliant
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Did you try calling Verizon or Vodafone (Verizon Wireless is American Vodafone, if you didn't know that before) before spending the money?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] vip7070:
Yeap, but they said that need account holder to complete unlocking procedure.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Strange...I would figure they would be able to give an unlock code regardless of account status. The unlock code is not tied to an account. Possibly you reached a dumb rep :confused:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cchhat01:
I'm in the USA, i like the phone but want to know which 3G band does this phone support. I've seen misleading information.

Please advise. is it 850/1900 or 900/1800 or 1700/2100 ?

thx

Don't listen to the troll. Alpharev will release s-off when they are sure its stable. Or you can get in on group buys for xtc clip

S off is not currently possible on the incredible 2 unless you are willing to pay forthe xtc clip.

Really? Cool I own an incredible 2. Can you link to thread explaining how to get s off without buying xtc clip?

Sent from my Droid Bionic
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] the_aether:
The exploit has not been publicly released yet but should be soon. A few people on this forum volunteered their phones for alpha testing and obtained S-OFF. There's no deadline for the release though, so if you're impatient you should probably go the xtc clip route.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kingsway8605:
I think bob-o was referring to something else because he said his s off method was available now

Sent from my Droid Bionic
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
well technically it has been for awhile. we have had temproot since day one. that is software root, just not fully exposed. Software root was attained by AlpharevX not too long ago, but is still in beta testing so they don't break $400 phones and everyone gets pissed cos Verizon wont be sending you a refurb for the ****ed up phone. XTC clip a.k.a. Raskal - broke the code last week for his XTC clip. this is a full NAND and SIM unlock. this fully unlocks the phone. AlpharevX will turn back to S-ON if receiving an OTA update or something like that, with XTC clip you will never be turned back to S-ON no matter how hard you try. Cheers.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kingsway8605:
S-off and temproot are two different things. Me, bob-o, and the other guy were talking about s-off. Bob-o says that s-off is available now but I have looked everywhere and can't find the instructions he is referring to.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
Yes, S-OFF is alavailible now, for XTC xlip users.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kingsway8605:
Yeah, we knew that, bob-o said there was another method now available.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
ahh, that I don't know

You ready to say you were wrong now?

Haven't tried it yet, but if it works, then yes, I was wrong.

It works. Installed CM7 earlier. Plus there are several others who can vouch for the fact that it does work. Public apologizes are in order from you.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrockFerens:
Is there a way to make this stay on full time for enhancements to the phone as a whole?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
When does it "switch off"?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrockFerens:
Only works for photos and videos, but my thought is it would make home screen and everything else look better.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
Really?

I think it improves everything.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrockFerens:
Every review i have read states differently, but again that was when phone first came out so i could be wrong now.

Edit: if you go to settings, under dismay it states improves photos and videos. Doesn't ay anyhing about other areas.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] snoboardinbrian:
OK. So I bought a brand new G2X a few weeks ago, installed new CWM via NV Flash followed all the steps like I have in the past with the G1 and Vibrant, only this phone I have a network connection issue after I flash a rom I have an ( H ) only for the network. If I reboot the phone I do not get any network connection at all, no matter how many times I reboot. I called tmobile and had a refurbished sent to me had the G2X for a week now and couldnt take the POS regular rom anymore. I followed the steps exact I am pretty sure. I went into CWM which I installed with external support I wiped data/factory reset 3 times, wiped dalvik cache (which BTW says "E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]" (not sure if that is normal.)) I do it again and it says "Dalvik Cache wiped", I wiped the battery stats, I choose install zip from sd card, choose zip from sd card, I choose eaglesblood_v1.2_p999-ota-eng.zip, It installs fine, I then install gapps, and reboot the phone. Once the phone is rebooted I let the phone sit for 5 minutes, I sign in to my google account, and then I let the phone sit for 5 minutes again and reboot to see if the internet is going to work and it doesnt again. I also have chsnged sim card twice. I have never had this issue and if someone can help me fix this I will totally donate $5.00 to the BEER FUND! :cool:

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] c19932:
seems like you did everything right.

try going into network settings, and dis/reenabling data. also make sure there IS an APN in the APN settings.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DECIM8:
What does it show for the icon at the top?

If it is gray bars with a small x the phone isn't getting a signal. Not sure what do do for this.

If it is colored bars with no edge/3g/H icon you are having an issue that I was dealing with. The answer I got was to...

Dial *#*#4636#*#*

Go to "Phone Information"

Scroll down and under "select network type" select GSM-CDMA AUTO option

Right under that press "turn off radio" then turn it back on

Back out of there and all should be good.

Note: I use "WDCMA preferred" under select network type and it works fine for me.

Hope this helps.

EDIT:

I have also had success doing this..

Settings>Wireless & networks>Mobile networks>Network operators... wait for the search to finish... >Select automatically>reboot
[T-Mobile LG G2x] snoboardinbrian:
Tried this and under APNs it is blank.

It does have colored bars with no edge/3g/h icon.

When I did this once I turn the radio off and the on I get the grey bars with an x and still no network connection. After a reboot I get colored bars but no network still.

When I tried this I still get no network connection.

Funny thing is if I install gapps through rom manager I get the [H] and colored bars. but after a reboot it doesnt work again.... :confused: Im so stumped! lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] c19932:
there goes your problem.. you have no apn.

Go into "access point names". Press the hardware menu button --> reset to default. The original apn should pop up.

are you using CM7? I heard theres a apn problem with that. if you are then i can' help you since I dont have cm7
[T-Mobile LG G2x] snoboardinbrian:
When I reset the APN it still doesnt show anything.

This is on Eaglesblood a CM7 based rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RichieRichyRich:
Download APNsBU in the market through Wi-fi, click Backup APNS, then click Restore APNs. Reboot and it should work
[T-Mobile LG G2x] knickfan5745:
EDIT: Please delete.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] snoboardinbrian:
This works. Is this common? So basically everytime I want to reboot my phone I use that by restoring?
