In todays world is all about what people and users want, right? Developers like the idea of creating custom ROM's, adding their own touch to phones, I am guilty myself. Not here to ramble on the bionic release date nor the whose network is better however sprint has truly the only unlimited data plan ( Their representatives do need help and lack in customer service) and please T-mobile stop talking how your unlimited, you are not!

I can see how the 3D is setting the bar for smart phones, but is it really necessary? Now should motorola even lock the Boot-loader? These two phones are the best out there right now, yes I know the bionic is not out as of now. Im going to go with the realease date of August,4,2011. I called in Verizon yesterday and talked to one of their manager, this is how it went.

Me: How much would it be to cancel the line 541-***-****. I would like to go ahead and switch networks and try out the Evo 3d.

Manager: ok, I can help you. But before I answer your question may I ask why your are looking to cancel?

Me: i've been stuck with this crappy phone because I was going to upgrade to the bionic when it originally was suppose to be released. And feel it isn't right what Moto is doing to us, and they still lock their phones on top if all that. They should just worry about what we as customers like and want instead of being a stuck up company.

Manager: I'm sorry to hear that, I too myself have been waiting on the bionic. I think everyone here at work have also. Please be patient I know its hard and also I mean its just right around the corner.

Me: Around the corner?

Manager: yes, its suppose to be released Aug, 4. I heard its not even called the bionic anymore they have completely redesigned the whole phone!!! It will be worth the wait.

There you have it folks spoken truth straight from Verizon. I would continue on About my conversation but that would only bore you to death....... (chirp, chirp, chirp) What have we learned?

1. New designed

2. Not called bionic anymore

3. Verizon is not smart for taking unlimited data plan off (Switching once my contract is up)

4. August, 4, 2011 released date

5. Will be sold out first day ( Because all Verizon employees want it and they will buy and even get it for way less they anyone else) Did you know they receive 60% percent off any phone of their choice even raffle phones like crazy and get them for free. Most times they will sell them by posting them on Craigslist and Ebay. Don't believe me do some research.

6. Verizon are a**holes when you want to cancel with them

7. Love the design and look of the original bionic ewww... to the droid 3 ( No offense people not a fan of the keyboard thing)

8. Locked boot-loader

9. Don't expect anything Cheap will most-likely be $300.00!

10. Stuck On waiting and waiting, Motorola can sure keep a secret.

Now that you know all they America, you decide! Remember This is my opinion, theres lots of great phones (Android) Out there and everyone has their top phones these are mine. Help me decide on which phone to get by leaving a comment below! Should I wait?.........
[General Topics] k_nivesout:
I would just consider that if you already have unlimited data but jump to sprint and come back to Verizon later, you're not gonna have your unlimited data anymore. I find the bionic slightly irrelevant as long as the galaxy s2 is still going to be coming to the US.

i was using the Incredibly Debloated ROM and decided to give CM7 a try. it kept saying that phone, market, etc weren't installed so I then tried to go back to IB and now my phone is just stuck at the HTC screen and doesn't do anything. I can't seem to get into recovery and have already tried a hard reset.

does anyone have an idea of what i should try next?

thanks

[EDIT] i spoke too soon. i tied pulling the battery out and then holding down volume down and power while i put the battery in and it went right in to recovery. apparently i didn't have that debloated rom on my sd card so thought 'oh well i'll just put back CM7 then'.. and oddly now things seem to be working in CM7. hmm

[HTC EVO 3D] PensFan66:
In my ever ending quest to increase my speeds Ive been reading on other phone settings - Can anyone that has a good 3G speed tell me thier settings for Phone Info when you dial : *#*#4636#*#* from the dialer keypad?

I read on the Sensation forum that if you disable cipher it speeds up, I wanted to try but I cant disable that setting for some reason.

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] lafester:
to be fair that thread says to disable and then enable it again.

i tried and also was unsuccessful. my guess is it has something to do with cdma mode.
[HTC EVO 3D] PensFan66:
Yeah, it does reenable it as well - but I found a few sites mentioning the same steps --- I was just hoping to get a data boost - I assumed it likely wouldnt help anyway...
[HTC EVO 3D] MRBULLRED:
It seems through Google searches that has something to do with encryption and security..
[HTC EVO 3D] PensFan66:
Yep - that makes sense - In the Sensation forum people have reported increased speeds with this off. I am aware that it may allow data to go clear then, but I wanted to teste it. It appears though that the 3D cant turn this off, when you press the button it just sits at Enabled.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Slain Avenger:
Hello.

I know similar threads can be found on related subjects, but I've easily gone over 25 threads and have made 0 progress.

I recently flashed {ROM} Ninja-07061 on my Inspire 4G and I'm absolutely in love with it. So far, it's my favorite ROM and I really want to keep using it.

The problem lies in the fact that I can't send or receive any MMS messages without first connecting to the mobile network, something I haven't had to do in all the non-cyanogen mods I've tried.

I've tried changing APN settings, using different messaging apps and pretty much all I know I can do without risking any damage to my phone.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, if there is anything I should post that could aid in solving the problem, please tell me, I am very very new to this entire android thing and I'm trying to learn as much as possible, but there are things that I still have no clue about.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Inspire 4G] hahiss:
Possible Solution

I've had a similar problem with earlier versions of the ROM. I don't send enough MMS messages to know if this works, but at one point I had added an MMS-only APN. Something like what is mentioned in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1109983

Let me know if it works.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Slain Avenger:
Thanks... unfortunately it didn't work :/

I've tried many different APN options and I still get the same results. MMS I received are stuck at "downloading" and ones I send are stuck at "sending".
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
The issue is with the way cm based Roms change the apn when disabling data. They disable the apn completely. While other stock based rom's don't disable the mms part of it. MMS use a little but of data and that's why you see the data arrows work when you send an MMS .
[HTC Inspire 4G] Slain Avenger:
Okay, let me see if I understand.

CM based roms don't let me download or send MMS because they don't automatically connect to the mobile network to do it?

I noticed that I can send and receive while on the mobile network but not while disconnected (or while I'm connected to wifi).

Originally this worried me since I have a free MMS plan, which I believe should work separately from the mobile data connection, but I don't really know how it works (because I'm a total noob >.<).

I've read a little and it seems that MMS will be free, but they still require me to be connected to the mobile network. From what I can discern, this means that most stock roms (sense based) force a connection whilst sending or receiving an MMS and CM roms don't?

If that's so, is there a way to get the messaging app to force the connection, or will I have to connect to the mobile network every time I want to send/receive an MMS? I try not to have the connections enabled due to battery life and the fact that my data plan is capped.

Sorry for the wall of text, just trying to get used to the entire android scene :/
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
You got it. The only way I was able to do it is to activate data (which I normally keep off due to wifi everywhere and being on a prepaid plan) when I send an MMS. There are apps that control what can connect to data. I think apndroid is one of them.

The reason sense works is that it has its own built in MMS settings seperate from the apn settings.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Slain Avenger:
Okay, guess I'll have to try some stuff out, at least I can rest easy knowing what's up now.

Thanks a billion.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
No problem.

I can try that but the problem is even though I have wiped data and cleared cache earlier there has been no change.

It is as if the old settings are still there and is not allowing the phone to start.

1.wipe data and cache from stock recovery

2.bootloader -> flash full nordic since this one worked for you earlier (make sure the process is finished)

[Desire HD General] jamiee6610:
I have seen the reviews of the galaxy sii and sensation, i thought i would have a look at the galaxy?

Seems very nice but i was more interested in the camera features than anything.

The guy in the phone shop was game to help me compare the difference in image quality, so we took pictures of the same object at roughly same direction distance etc.

I was shocked!

The default software on both phones showed @ .2-.5mb file size difference, the galaxy image seemed like it had some filter on it to 'smooth' some of the noise, macro shots were lovely on the galaxy but bottom line was galaxy was only slightly better.

I use 360camera app and we tried that in comparison, and WOW! The image quality was far more superior on my DHD.

The couldnt believe it?

The video on the sii was far better full stop.

So i think i might hold out on the upgrade until autum until the new models apear?

As nice as both these phones looked i seriously dont see a big enough improvement to warrent me getting rid of my dhd?

Has any one else tried to physically compare?
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
In the same boat as you mate. Thought about getting a dual core but it just didn't seem worth it at this time.

Right now I'm going to stick with the Dhd which has held me in good stead and wait to see what comes out in the months to follow.

Basically Gingerbread isn't optimized for dual cores anyway. It's a bit like the situation we had with computers a few years ago where the 64 bit cpu had just come out but it had no value over 32 bit because there wasn't any 64 bit software.

So now I'm going to wait and see for phones to be released with ice cream sandwich, as it's slated to support dual cores.

[Desire HD General] jamiee6610:
Its sonething i will sit on for sure, as tempting as it was after seeing no significant improvement in the camera (its the camera thats of interest to me) it would be a waste of time.

No doubt in the next few months we will see a 10-12mp camera on and android phone.
[Desire HD General] Elemental_Fire:
Yeah, I'd agree very much. My friend has a Galaxy S2, I wanted to see how much of an improvement the camera was. I have a really messed up camera, due to dropping it on a sharp edge on the gym equipment in my room, the camera cover smashed and my autofocus doesn't work as well as it used to. Either ways, I decided to compare pictures, but with a tree, and from a little distance as it would be easy to see which camera captured more definition on some leaves. Ok, stock to stock, Galaxy S2 won hands down. Stock camera on the Desire HD produced an image with weird sharpness and a bloom effect of sorts, so the yellows were a little strong. The whole image as a whole seemed to have a dream effect applied (in comparison to the Galaxy S2's stock image).

Anyways I then decided to try Camera360 AND Vignette on my phone. WOW big difference! My image was around 9-10mb in file size, and was MUCH sharper. Not only sharper, but it caught the detail around the leaves and on the leaves. Scaling in 100% to the relative image size on my HD monitor, there was no real loss in quality, and details could easily be seen. Next, tried the Camera360 on his, wasn't much difference from the stock camera, even with settings to 100% JPEG quality. So i'd say, stock to stock, Galaxy S2 wins. Camera360 wise, Desire HD wins hands down, although not by a massive difference. Images were a little clearer. Now, when I tried out HD recording using stock to stock, 720p test of course, the Galaxy S2 owned the Desire HD D: But using lgCamera, and raising bitrate to 20mbps (The Desire HD actually recorded it in 26.5mbps) Desire HD was quite good, almost on par with the Galaxy S2. Galaxy S2 recorded in 12mbps, so double the bitrate on the Desire HD but less than double increase in quality (obviously). I changed encoding settings to h264 on Desire HD, file size was around 150mb a minute at 720p. Didn't have a chance to try out 1080p with lgCamera and high bitrate, although I think it'll have a high bitrate as standard. Stock 1080p on Galaxy S2 was visually STUNNING, to say the least :eek: very cool. Wish I could record in 1080p on the Desire HD :D I like to compare new things. So although the Galaxy S2 has a nicer screen, and dual core, it's not really that much faster in day to day apps (excluding games since I don't game on my phones much) and only other benefit is 1080p! I'd rather get a dedicated camera/camcorder for that then spend that much for that facility in a phone. So for me, I don't feel as though it's such a big upgrade. I'll wait to see what else comes out...bleh i'm poor atm anyways :(
[Desire HD General] Elemental_Fire:
Yup, i'm sure we will. Bound to happen.

They should've put the sensor in the Desire HD to better use when it comes to HD recording...the pictures turn out good!
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
If you are referring to 1080p recording its not possible due to the processor limitations. The only 1080p phones are dual cores.

Sent from my Cyanogenmod-ified phone.
[Desire HD General] Elemental_Fire:
Nope, I meant they could have used a better sharpening algorithm while the video is being recorded. And yeah, I know it's very unlikely for a single core to record in 1080p :)

Thing about it is that it uses the MediaScanner service - like most apps do - to locate files. For some reason the MediaScanner wouldn't scan my particular card until I reformatted it, but as others mentioned a reboot, a media rescan app from the market or sometimes simply insert / remove your card again will trigger the scanner to work.
