[HTC Inspire 4G] Mister J:
Phone looks sweet, but doesn't every new android phone? My Inspire4G has a long life ahead of it still, so I'm not sweating it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZeroRilix:
It is kool. Despite being offtopic ofmy op, it is an intersting post. What you said rings very true. Let me ask, do you think the Inspire HD is in fact the Holiday?
[HTC Inspire 4G] jeremyshaw:
So the holiday is not the sensation?

Sorry for the bland question, I'm not rooted or custom Rom on this, lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZeroRilix:
Nope. The general consensus is that the Holiday will get Inspire HD as its shipping and official name. Remember, the Sensation's codename prior to official announcement was Pyramid. No biggies! I'm bone stock as well, and that was not a bland question at all. It was a perfectly good question. Just if we were getting the Sensation, HTC would've said it when they announced it for T-Mobile. Also, remember too, that when the Holiday got leaked it was said it will be for ATT. With HTC putting Inspire HD as one of the devices you can register at htcsense.com, and the Holiday being leaked for ATT, it doesn't take much to surmise the HTC Inspire HD will in fact be the Holiday.
[HTC Inspire 4G] anit77:
I believe the Inspire HD will be a "Variant" of the Holiday. At$t always does something to cheapen the handsets. So think Holiday with no front camera and a smaller battery and what you get is an Inspire with a better screen, dual core & more memory.

The question I have is will the smaller battery be replaceable with one that has more capacity? Not just relabeled but actually larger in size with out the need for altering the dimensions of the handset. Doubt it... :rolleyes:

There is one, and only one, thing that might open the possibility that At$t will really go with the reference design for once. That is the fact that I've see no reference to this handset going to the Asian/Euro market before being released in the States. This would be a 1st on so many levels.

If this in fact does happen then the price point will be much higher as this handset will be the flagship device for at least 6-8 months, if not more. Me thinks $299.00 on upgrade and retail of $599 minimum. Right now the Sensation is $199 at Tmobile after an "Instant" $300 discount & a $50 "Mail In" rebate. Which means the phone is really $249. The Inspire HD will have at least a $50 premium over the Sensation.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZeroRilix:
Not sure about that first part, but I totally agree on the second part. Pricing, I suspect, will be close to that. I'm expecting $299, upgrade and new contract pricing, and $700 off contract pricing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jc2470:
i upgrade every 6 months, that is when the earliest upgrade is available. I dont know exactly what u guys mean about 1 year upgrade because, i pay 120 a month and the earliest full upgrade is 20 months. I paid 300 for the inspire 6 months after i bought the captivate. I sold the captivate for 250 I think, so i just paid the difference. I craigslist my phone after 6 and use it towards upgrade.

retail on inspire was like 540? or something like that so 6 month upgrade knocked off 240? Either way I will upgrade again in sept i think, unless the next best phone is delayed a bit or not far away.

To the guy that said u cant keep up with the pace of the phones coming out, name me the android phones that are worth a **** that has come out in the last year and a half.

captivate, atrix and inspire? the infuse is laughable at that cheap build quality, the back metal plate was coming unglued in the att store.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jake.corey.jacobs:
I just wanted to add, in case anyone was unaware. Best Buy offers insurance and buy back options.

Insurance runs 7.99-14.99 a month and offers unlimited "rapid exchanges" with 0 deductible. Meaning you pay your monthly fee and its covered for everything except outright abuse. Instead of instore exchanges you wait 1-3 days for a refurbished phone to be shipped in. The beauty is no deductible and covers moisture damage.

Buy Back offers 50% guaranteed resell (back to best buy) value if used within 6 months, 40% 6-12 months, etc etc. Caps at 20% within 24 months.

I bought buy back when i got my cappy in Jan '11(used my full upgrade at this point as well, which made my cappy only 99$). I cashed it in 1/2 way through Arpil '11. I got 300$ for my trade in, even though i only paid 99$ for it. Slapped 100$ with it and bought my Inspire out right. I plan on doing the same thing when the new HTC phone comes out this fall.

And then I was like "You can't do that, it's not just a stove, that's my wife".

Boy the look on his face when I told him that. Does anyone else have a car for sale?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZeroRilix:
Ok guys, while that last comment was funny, we need to get this thread back to at least somewhat on track. Especially before the mods decide to close my perfectly good thread. Let's try with a couple new questions thrown into the mix for good measure. Besides what was stated in my op, when do you think the Holiday will officially become the HTC Inspire HD? For example, when do you think we'll get the official announcement from HTC and AT&T? Considering the leak of the Holiday, do you think the Inspire HD will be LTE compatible and one of the LTE launch devices slated for the end of summer? For example, do you think it will launch with LTE, or do you think it will launch later than that but still this year?
[HTC Inspire 4G] gho5t82:
Idk wtf its gonna be called, but its gonna end up pissing me off really bad lol. My upgrade is in august, and i HAVE to get a new inspire as mine will not make it til the release of the inspire hd/holiday. Im basically going to waste this upgrade. :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZeroRilix:
What's goin on with your current?
[HTC Inspire 4G] gho5t82:
Ill post the stats when i get home.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SmittyRN:
Yeah, this is off topic, but I thought I'd respond anyway. I got my Inspire the first day it came out, and had to wait for the Otterbox case I wanted for it to become available. So I put a Skinomi skin on it until I got my Otterbox, then left the skin on the phone when I got my case. Doesn't affect the ability to put a case on the phone, and now it's protected against pretty much any minor damage at all.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mister J:
Wow nice long list! But yea since there was a desire then a desire HD, it seems fitting that there will be an inspire 4g. Of course it'll have TRUE 4g, since all the new phones are lte compatible.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gho5t82:
I really hope i can get my problem figured out so i can wait for it lol. The specs are awesome.

[HTC Inspire 4G] ZeroRilix:
Lol I know you meant Inspire HD as the one we have right now is called 4G. I agree, I believe the HD in its name comes from LTE compatibility combined with a display of 4.5 inches of HTC goodness.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
Granted i don't have the issue w/ screen coming on by itself, mine w/ 3 different widgets on the homescreen(Temp+VPU v2, watchdog and current widget) and 2 different Launcher Pro widgets(FB and text messages) on two other screens, GPS always on, 3 email accts polling every 15 mins, FB and G+ polling every 15 as well, background data on and mobile data only, I average 1-3mA draw on the latest CM7 nightly.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nick281051:
i had a 3 month return (90 day) policy at costco and i got this right at the deadline the night before its official release, however i do miss my cappy and wish i had both to play with but the inspire is a beast

[HTC Inspire 4G] gho5t82:
ahh well, thats no good for me lol. :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mister J:
Hmmm 4.5 seems like to big of a screen to me. I came from an xperia x10 to this and it was a BIG(pun intended) difference. I like 4.3 but 4.5 seems like too big of a screen. Of course I hope that HTC makes a bigger battery for the the Inspire HD and all future HTC phones. I mean yeah I get good battery with cyanogenmod but 1250(I think) is too small for phones these days especially stock phones with Sense.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZeroRilix:
It's actually 1230, but I agree, it is small. However, all phones nowadays feel like they need a bigger battery than what they come with. Talking about an x10 to an Inspire, try this one on for size. Try coming from a Samsung A777 to an Inspire. That was a HUGE difference! I went from a 2.3 inch display to one that is 4.3 inches. After getting used to it, which didn't take long, I won't go with any phone that has less than 4.3 inches. Even after graduating to the 4.5 bigboy display that's gonna be on the Holiday (Inspire HD), I still won't go less than 4.3
[HTC Inspire 4G] shatteredfx:
I don't think it will make much of a difference.. since I am very happy with the current one the Inspire 4G
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZeroRilix:
Yeah, I am happy with mine too. I'm just excited about the Holiday (Inspire HD). Especially since, after buying mine off-contract, I still get my upgrade in December.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gho5t82:
To everyone helping me with my screen problems, i have solved it. I just dont kniw how permament it will be. Ill make a topic about later today.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZeroRilix:
Yes, that would be good! That way whoever get this issue can solve it. I want to say thank you for going to post a thread about it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SuicideMyk:
I've bought my Inspire about 4 months ago and love it other then the battery lol

Yeah, I saw your thread. Man, your problems ran deeper than the problem I had. At least it is up and anyone running into this issue, if they are feeling froggy enough to try, can get it corrected.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZeroRilix:
Yeah, rumor is they are prolly gonna call it the HTC Inspire HD. Seems fitting as the leaked pics show a very similar formfactor to our current Inspire. It'll be big but, it will be a beast of a phone as well.

After I rooted my Inspire 4G I was very satisfied with it. I cranked up the CPU speed and the battery life is a lot better. It will be painful towards the end, but I am going to stick it out until my contract is up in 18 more months...

By that time, we will be talking about the Holiday 6G. haha.

He is talking about a phone with limited info atm, there is no date on when it is coming out even.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZeroRilix:
New question I am posing to this thread. Since we now have 3 officially unoffical names for the Holiday, which do you like better and which one do you feel it will be called?

Here's the 3 names:

HTC Waikiki

HTC Inspire HD

HTC Raider

My money is on Inspire HD or Raider as its name. I think it will be called the HTC Raider globally, and called the HTC Inspire HD here in the states.

[HTC Inspire 4G] GTIVRon:
"HTC Inspire 4GHDLTE with Waikiki Raider Technology."

I would buy it just for the name when somebody asked "what is that?"

Lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZeroRilix:
Lmao. Man, that's one hell of a name. I can see the puzzled looks from people when you say that name to them. Also, might not want to say it 3 times fast. What a tongue twister. Lol

I personally like launcher pro but since development has slowed to just about a stop i am using adw. How is go launcher and windows 7 launcher?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoulderGeek:
Launcher Pro and Beautiful Widgets is my fave combination.

I still prefer this to Sense.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andydumi:
I use Go and Beautiful WIdgets. GO seems to be developing pretty strongly, and it does just about anything I want it to. And it works well in conjunction with the other GO apps like dialer and sms.

ADW here... I've used it on my Dinc and now on my TB... Rock solid.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pender1:
I've been using ADW lately and I'm very pleased with it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Absolute_Zero:
ADW EX here. I've been glad I switched since the day it came out. Just seems smoother overall than stock ADW. I was an LP user for a while but seemed like it started getting bloated with things I'd never use. It may have gotten better recently as I haven't tried it since EX came out but for me, after using LP, ADW, and ADW EX, my personal choice has been EX and I haven't found a reason to move on.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] somedude1119:
I prefer LP. It keeps things simple and I can back it up which is convenient when flashing.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plambda:
lol...I remember when adw and LP first came on the scene - a lot of people loved them for their simplicity - then the feature wars began...

ADW EX for me.

What functions or features are you guys using to justify using a launcher?

I hate that the HTC mail and HTC messaging icons don't show the counts, at least I couldn't figure out how to do it on launcher pro.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squeakyl:
i'm using launcher pro now but I'm probably going back to the windows 7 launcher. It's simplicity is refreshing, the only downside is I don't get to see my p retty wallpapers as much, but I find it more useful
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andydumi:
They just released some sort of themeing API so we should see a lot more a lot faster.

I hate they got rid of the dark icons in the default set, they had both white and black and a few weeks back an update removed all the black versions.

I think smoothness, options of dock/screens and app drawer customization are the most important for me. So is displaying counts and hiding the notifications bar.

Same for me except I prefer Sense over it. If I'm on a vanilla ROM, you can bet I'd be using Launcher Pro and Beautiful Widgets.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoosePMed:
Go Launcher EX and FancyWidgets Pro.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voxigenboy:
i prefer Launcher Pro because of the menu system at the bottom of the screen. i hate putting shortcuts/widgets on the screen(like to keep it clutter free) so it's nice to that menu at the bottom.

i know that go launcher ex is similiar, but i don't like the 5 screen thing and i don't like those dots it puts in the upper center of the screen indicating which screen you're on.

adw i have never cared for because of it's menu system setup at the bottom.

as for Windows 7 launcher... if that intrigues you why do you have a Thunderbolt?
[Acer Iconia A500] vendetta007:
So, I've been having a lot of problems with the Gallery app on my Iconia. The app won't load my pictures / movies at all. I assume this has to do with the media scanner process not thoroughly scrubbing my device because the silly thing has never scanned the external_sd and only recently stopped scanning the internal.

Is there a fix for this? I've tried a few other gallery apps with no success which is what leads me to believe this is an issue related to the media scanner.

Currently running Tabloonay 1.0.2.

Thanks for any help.
[Acer Iconia A500] cybermage1:
I had the same issue with mine and my old sdcard I reused from another device. I could watch the logs and see that it never scanned the sdcard even if I used a rescan utility from the market.

My fix was to pop the card out, plug into a PC and reformat it. After that it started scanning as soon as I popped the card back in and automatically finds new media I transfer over.
[Acer Iconia A500] panda.bear:
I have the same problem with mine. I have an external USB HD with about 300GB of video and image files and Gallery is really a crap-shoot when it comes to browsing my media. Sometimes it works, most of the times it doesn't load at least 90% of my media, and other times it shows certain folders but not others.
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Have not had the problem on my a500...

But have had the problem on other android based devices.

Before doing a factory reset, try downloading "sdrescan" from the market. Free app, will trigger a scan of all media and works for some people.

Let me know, had similar problems before. Are you rooted with cwm installed? If sdrecan does not help, clearing the cache partition should take care of your problem.
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
first, update taboonay to latest version

second, clear cache and restart your Gallery.

third, do sdrescan because the tablet is really dumb and do not rescan the internal and external that good :D

This is for stock unrooted peeps.

Anyone that has had reboot problems on their thunderbolts, still experiencing them after updating?

Wife's tbolt starting rebooting a couple times a day about a week ago. Did the update friday night and has rebooted twice since then. Thinking it might be hardware related if others have had their reboots fixed.

Probably going to call verizon next time it does this to try and get a replacement.

I've had only one that I've noticed so far, but that makes it less than the 3-4 daily I noticed with the most recent leak prior (mr2.5 thingee)

No reboots for me since the update. Of course Verzion only claimed this OTA would reduce the number of reboots not do away with them. I hope for you that they don't try to pull then when you ask for a new unit.

Start over from scratch do an app backup...uninstall all apps restart phone try favorite app first give couple hours or a day. slowly put apps back on right down time and date each app installed .doing this is a p.i.t.a .....some apps dont play nicely with others ...plus you dont want a p.o.s.reman phone....anyways this might take a couple of days.....sometimes verizon wont shoot from the hip and just replace .. reason i say this for a while 1st thing they do is hard reset phone and start over ...more or less have to prove problem make sure everytime u call have them note the account....lets see 10 imagios 6 collasped buttons 4 bluetooth failures .....fun fun...nothings easy with verizon

Look at it this way you could be stuck with a really start over flashing firmware with a windows phone cause hard reset sucks .@#$

she has no different apps than me and I don't have reboots. We'll give it a couple of days, start calling in and creating the history. New customer, I'm sure they would hate to lose us already...

jump ship and pay up the @#% to leave your stuck unless under 15 days then your stuck again because where you came from sucked plus to boot anywhere else is gonna what a deposit ....just because your phones not rebooting with same apps ...the phone is man made #$& happens the other phone might have hardware problems ok prove it...do what i said and track
[Thunderbolt General] oldnavyguy:
Had a few here, better but still angers me.
[Thunderbolt General] ponyboy82:
same story -- i'm still getting them occasionally but not as often. I was all excited about the update, but a few hours after it installed I was browsing the web and - bam - reboot. It's like a slap in the face. I've also been having a serious problem with my TB just discharging itself overnight... while plugged into the wall charger. I wake up and it has a completely dead battery which is a major PITA, doubly so because I use it as my alarm clock.
[Thunderbolt General] rednoved:
My TB has been up since the update on Friday. It used to reboot multiple times a day. Hope this lasts for me.

I'm stock and unrooted.

I have never had a reboot and I have been rooted since a week after owning the TBolt... I guess just lucky
[Thunderbolt General] Dork6243:
Haven't had a reboot since memorial day weekend.
[Thunderbolt General] s00paSold3r:
Never had a reboot before or after the update....I just bought my Tbolt two weeks ago, maybe they corrected the rebooting issues with the current hardware?? I mean if users are still rebooting after the update maybe its not software...
[Thunderbolt General] arunningpir8:
I've been really really lucky here I guess. I bought my Thunderbolt about a week after it came out and have had maybe 3-4 reboots since then. I have gone through a few roms/kernals/radios but never any issues. It must just be a hit/miss thing with hardware to be honest. Either that or the network, I'm in West Lafayette maybe our network is just far superior :P

The only gripe I have had is shutdowns, which IMO are more annoying because I can't just turn it back on, I have to pull the battery and wait a couple minutes before putting it back in and then waiting another minute before it responds to the power button to turn it back on again.

All in all I am happy with it compared to all others complaints on reboots. I would rather have a small number of reboots/shutdowns than a refurbished phone with possibly more issues.
