[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcmarshall:
I love my dinc even more since I recently put Abduction ICS on it. It suits my needs. I have a tablet with me most times now so I don't need a dinner plate phone plus I'm a Swype user so the size is great for one handed operation.

Unfortunately my audio out jack stopped working. My contract with Verizon also just ended. I'm tired of getting gouged every month. I looked at T-Mobile and with a small business plan I get get 5gigs of data with unlimited text and voice for $50- too good to resist.

So obviously I will a new phone with T-mobile. The HTC One S is their top phone now. It is a gorgeous bit of material but has a couple traits that really bother me:

- no user replaceable battery

- 16 gigs of internal storage with no removable media

- locked to s-on (I believe still not cracked)

Anyone have any feedback regarding T-mobile?

Anyone have any strong pro or con opinion regarding the HTC One S?

BTW- I read on XDA portal about the new HTC phone coming to Verizon. Sounds like the Incredible with upgrades. Not their top model (that being the One) but has replaceable battery and micro sd storage as well as newer/better cpu (dual core I'm guessing). Sounds perfect for me. If I were staying with Verizon that would likely be my new phone.

I can't wait to get my hands on the HTC One X. What a beautiful phone . I have iPhone 4 right now and honestly I'm pretty bored with it. Theres no way of customizing it at all without jail breaking it and even then still doesn't compare to HTC'S beautifulness
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
I'm actually considering the Galaxy SIII if it gets released on Verizon. There's no HTC One X equivalent coming and I want the best bang for my buck. I'm not a fan of our current phone selection and with their track record, that won't change until Christmas. Been due for an upgrade since late March.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shano56:
I'll probably eventually upgrade to an HTC One varient, probably on tmobile, or a galaxy nexus or galaxy 3 unlocked. If i can't make up my mind on those, probably just wait for the next nexus.

Galaxy SIII

I'm looking forward to the GSIII. With PureMotive close to a fully functional Sense 4.0 on the Inc I can wait as long as it takes :D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ap42:
I will go with whatever the best Snapdragon-driven phone is that Verizon offers in August when I'm up for renewal. Love my original DInc, and ICS has breathed new life into it so I can wait.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Preorders start on June 6th! It's priced at $200 for 16 gb and $250 for 32 gb, then add Verizon's $30 service fee also.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
I can. Holding out for the Inc 4G.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekendog:
SG3 for me in a few weeks! I will miss my Inc though.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ap42:
Looks like it will be GSIII for me too. It has our badass dualcore chip in it (for the US version) which is wicked-low power & great performance.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drahcir0789:
I might actually have to move away from Verizon. Really had a great time with DInc but it's getting so expensive now. Might move to Sprint once the newer phones come out. Was very disappointed the Note didn't go there.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcharles:
I'm taking the dive bright and early tomorrow morning. Now for the decisions: blue or white? 16 or 32?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
I can't truly help you with that BUT I will say I made my preorder today for the 16GB blue version. I figured I only need 16 GB plus micro sd since I only listen to music and take vacation pics/vids. I'm kinda hoping I get the mythical "grey" version some sites talked about though haha
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Credrili:
Same -- getting blue, I heard another name floating around "metallic" ?

Either way, white would be too hard on my eyes. It's like when Vizio was selling their white HDTV. They stopped that pretty quick.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Wait, they made white hdtv's? LOL that's hilarious!

Yeah, there are rumors about that metallic color, there's even a YouTube video in Germany with someone using it in hand. It looks better than the blue SIII in my opinion. Just wish one could preorder that one today as well.

And here's a link:

I feel it. im only here on Verizon cuz I got the phone from a friend for free :D

Damn expense. Then again they all are.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polarimetric:
Hahah, it makes me sad that this thread was started in August 2011 talking about retiring the device and I am still running it a year later...

Anyway, I am holding out for the Inc 4G. I've been waiting for a phone with a 4 inch screen, so it's perfect for me. Anything larger than that just doesn't feel right (the 4.8 inch screen on the GSIII actually scares me, I can't imagine that being comfortable in anyone's hand...)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcharles:
Got the blue 16gb. And I wait....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Credrili:
Yeah it was a couple of years ago but still was a dumb idea then.

--Perhaps the color of phone is different per market, which would make as much sense as AT&T getting the red one.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blockhead42:
Saw photo of the white iphone and SGS3 together and they looked way too damn similar for my tastes. Went for blue 16 gig. If I need more storage 32gig sd cards are cheap.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hero:
Seems like quite a few of us are heading to the SGSIII lol. I got the white 32gb myself. Can't wait to dev on it :D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Ha, that's what's up. I'm anticipating a lot of new info to learn since I've never used a Samsung android phone.

I think it's interesting how this thread was created so long ago with the focus on an upcoming Moto, HTC, and Samsung phone (all released obviously) and that's essentially what we're looking at for the next few months.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Credrili:
The OG Incredible was my first smartphone/android device.

I've had it for about 1.5 years now, my experience with it has been nothing but awesome and then some after I rooted.

I remember using the stock rom + camera, taking alot of pictures quickly would make it crash haha. (Not on CM7 obviously)

Since I used our main line's upgrade, I could've upgraded over a year ago I believe. But I just didn't like any of the phones out there - then the Nexus was released, still held off, then Nexus "prime". Was about to purchase that, but I kept hearing rumors about the Samsung phone coming out.

Held out.. thank goodness I did. Unlocked bootloader, CM creator just so happens to be an employee of Samsung, great specs on it, (dual core or not!) good times await.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iowabeakster:
I'm getting more confused with every new phone released. Here's my current state of mind...

I am not a fan of Samsung products. I don't want to start a flame war, or debate, about Sammy... I'm just not a fan of their products.

But the SGSIII sure has some big time "internal hardware" appeal. BIG APPEAL.

The thing I like least about the SGSIII? I don't want that big of screen (and it's huge battery drain). I might be in the minority here, but I also prefer LCD screens in phones (got my plasma tv for when black level performance might actually matter). But, they did put a big battery in the SGSIII (and the option for even bigger). Props for the big removable battery.

The appearance of the SGSIII really turns me off (and I usually don't care about cosmetics, seriously!) The white one is just plain freaking hideous (this is just my opinion... no arguments please). And even though the blue one is an ok color, I really hate the chrome (likely plastic chrome-ish) ring around the edge. That is so freaking retro-ugly-tacky. Does Samsung really want to stylize their phones after '57 chevys? Give me a break... Why? Why do you do crap like that Samsung?

Then there is the big hard Home button... not a fan.

The Dinc 4g LTE is the right size for me. The cosmetics are just fine. I run AOSP now, but I expect sense 4 more to my liking than touchwiz (have not played with new versions of either). But with every new phone that is announced and released, the Dinc 4g LTE seems like a poor value***. The SGSIII will have double the RAM, faster processor, double (or quadruple) the internal storage, HD screen... etc. The SGSIII will also have much better dev support, which is probably even more important than anything else.

***And this is all coming from the perspective that I will be paying full retail price (or buying used) in order to keep my unlimited data plan.

I hope to see Orange, Asus, Panasonic, Fujitsu, Huawei, and others get a shot on Verizon! I also want to see what those 5 Nexus devices coming this thanksgiving are going to be all about.

I'm gonna keep waiting... not excited enough about any available choices to spend the money, at least for now.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcmarshall:
Pretty much my sentiments also. I'm a one handed user with Swype on my dinc. I have a tablet with me most times and don't want a phone the size of a dinner plate. I want a replaceable battery. The dinc 3 looks great to me. Right now I have a replacement dinc 2 coming from Asurion so I will just run off contract with that. Maybe pay cash for a dinc 3 when the price drops.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
I understand the dislike for the GSIII, my initial reaction was...whoa, it's ugly and designed for humans. Then I changed my perception as time went on and I don't mind the phone size. Yea, I want a smaller display but with Verizon we get flagship devices far and few in between. For me, battery size (with the processor to complement that) and display res are my priorities. I can't say I prefer LCD or AMOLED as my only smartphone has been this Inc (AMOLED display btw) so I know it will be an upgrade. Also, I'm growing bored of Sense and want to try another UI out. Stock ICS is cool but I want options. With the GSIII, I'll get that with TW and hopefully AOSP roms. Since we aren't getting the One X, I knew the GSIII is the device that I want. I dislike the waiting game cuz with Verizon, we don't get very many options. I would have a different perspective if I were on AT&T since I could buy new devices and switch at will.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Credrili:
I've been getting tired of the limited brightness on my Dinc. Yeah, it was good when I got it, but as time goes on, I really would like a brighter screen. S3 got all that and more.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sysyndicate:
I am currently running an Incredible with Cyanogenmod 7.1. This was my first smartphone and I have had this phone for 23 months now. Today I decided to retire it and so I pre-ordered the Samsung Galaxy S3 in white. I wanted to get my pre-order in as soon as possible in order to retain my unlimited plan at least for the next two years.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m52 power!:
So I just called verizon to ask about the SGS3 pre-order. Making sure I'd retain my unlimited data, etc. Then came the question of my loyalty discount. He informed me I had a $50 discount. He then went on and said let me check on all of our promotions and put me on HOLD.

He came back on the phone "we have a southern area promotion where when you upgrade from a 3G phone to 4G we waive the phones price"!!!! I asked if this applied to the pre-order, "Yup".

This totally made my day. I ordered the blue 32GB and only paid the tax on the $249.99. Activation fee was waived. I ended up paying less than $30 and am getting a new SGS3!!!!

So if you're in the southern states and upgrading to a 4G phone MENTION THIS OFFER!!!!!!!!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jprow507:
What is considered a southern state? I'm in Missouri....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hero:
Missouri is in the Midwest. The Southern states are:

Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas

I want a GS3 calibre-device including high-res display but the width and height of the Inc1 with the thinness of the GS3. Please.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcharles:
I already pre ordered online on the 6th. I live in Mississippi, do you think they'd give me that promo after the fact?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iowabeakster:
Whoa!

I can keep my unlimited plan, and get the 32 gig SGSIII for free?

Uh that might be an ok thing... really ok ..:D (i just moved to NC)

Time is ticking until Verizon's shared plans kick in. I just wish the SGSIII was a smaller screen size, and not leave me blushing in embarrassment every time I pull that giant tacky thing out in public (TWSS!). But I've really got to consider this option...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjmac720:
This

actually in the same predicument right now. My top 3 phones so far are :

HTC Rezound

SGSIII

Dinc 4G LTE

and maybe Razr Maxx.

was never really a Razr or moto fan at any point with verizon (can they even run CM?). point is my contact is up and i want the best bang for my buck as far as phones are concerened. considering i want to keep my unlimited data , i would have to buy full price here on (SGSIII is giving me a little time tho). need a phone with great proformance, network speed (im in nyc) and Rootable/ customizable (i <3 my CM rom). if anyone has a solution to my problem that would be great.:o
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
If you want customization, don't get the Razr. Moto is notorious for being locked down and I don't think either Razr or Razr Maxx has any CM flavors.

CM9 is very likely on the other three phones, especially SGS3 I think. I think they're working on CM9 unofficially on Rezound now and Dinc 4g will probably get CM9.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trickster2369:
I jumped to the Rezound in Dec., and I am not disappointed. No cm9 yet, but they are working on getting the ril working, and it's getting closer. AOKP, not CM9(doubt it will be supported on the Rezound).
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] withbloodskies:
The Dinc 4G seems promising, shame the rezound hasn't seen cm9! That's crazy stuff..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shano56:
Why isn't the rezound getting CM9? And isn't it getting official ICS?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjmac720:
NAS

heard its 8 gigs internal will be for apps. unappealing reason why i didnt get a droid X.

honestly down to either SGSIII or Rezound cause of preformance reasons.

most likely Dinc 4g = rezound cause of preformance and

SGSIII > Rezound only cause of extra features (NFC , 2 GB ram etc.)

which would run well on a home nas system? anyone familar with DNLA?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] withbloodskies:
I've been hearing the Rezound has a lot of over heating issues, actually think I saw a thread over there regarding who got the highest temperature lol. I believe they said 137°. Hot.. Lol

I love using DLNA but I've never heard of nas.

Unfortunately most DLNA products in the market are completely horrible and almost never work properly. Usually it will kill itself during a movie, wifi will drop or the app was just that bad and didn't work.

If I had a computer I wouldn't use DLNA from my phone to ps3.

I hope the Dinc 4G is good, it's something I've been using looking into. The rezound is nice too but if it over heats that much then I dunno.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Div033:
I'm a little confused about this post. Are you saying the Rezound has greater performance than the Inc 4G? Is this because you see 1.2GHz vs. 1.5GHz?

I guess I can't blame you. The way the marketers spin these things is that higher clock speed = better performance. This isn't always the case, and DEFINITELY isn't the case with the Rezound vs. the Inc 4G.

The Inc 4G has Qualcomm's latest tech; the Snapdragon S4. This uses a 28 nanometer transistor manufacturing process vs the 40nm process the Snapdragon S3 has. Smaller transistors = less distance for light to travel between each transistor meaning faster speed, improved battery efficiency and less heat production.

So even at 1.2GHz, the Inc 4G will run laps around the Rezound all the while getting better battery life and much lower temps. This isn't even mentioning the Snapdragon S3's inferior multi-core handling.

Also here's a fun fact: the Galaxy S3 on Verizon will use the SAME chip in the Inc 4G, it's just clocked a bit higher. However there is some debate over whether the Galaxy S3 will offer better performance over the Inc 4G due to the need to drive a much higher 720p resolution.

However, this should all be partially disregarded if you have unlimited data. THIS GOES FOR EVERYONE. Verizon will kill your unlimited data if you upgrade on or after June 28th. This is because they are launching their shared data plan then. It is speculated that they will be jerks and wait til June 28th to launch the new phones.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jprow507:
Looks like I will be pre-ordering the GS3 then... I would have preferred the Inc 4G, but who knows when that will be released.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
I actually just came in here to post this very thing. If you want unlimited data, preorder now or purchase your next phone at full retail to keep this unchanged.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seihaku:
I wound up getting a Razr Maxx, I never had huge battery issues with the DInc (I had the extended battery anyhow) but after using some other current smartphones it really was the only way to go.

Wish they'd hurry up with a Razr HD Maxx.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjmac720:
i didn't say the rezound has better performance (notice the equal sign) even tho yes i was looking at the processor speed without investigating the chips individually, my bad. would you care to elaborate more on the debate with the sgs3 and dinc 4g performance plz
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gargamel1:
Just spoke with another rep about upgrading to galaxy s3 she said there are no promos for the phone and that it'll be shipping on July 9th. (Holy run on sentence Batman) also if I do pre order prior to June 28th I'll keep my unlimited data plan. Just a heads up for everyone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerocool79346:
The GS3 will run rings around it as far as CPU performance is concerned because it has a higher clock rate and also more RAM. That RAM will really make a difference in day to day usage as well. However, because the GS3 has to push almost 2x the number of pixels the 4G does, GPU tests will probably favor the 4G.

All that said, the only time you likely will ever likely notice a difference between the two is during times of extreme multitasking and benchmarks. They both will perform more than satisfactory.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shano56:
Yes but how will they perform down the road? I think the one with the more RAM will, because applications and firmwares are getting bigger and needing more of it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjmac720:
honestly dont know what to pick at this point. Both has great potential and both i can see myself with.wish i can make polls at this point. which would you choose at this point people?

SGS 3

or

Dinc 4G
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NYC Coyote:
My big concern with the SGS3 is the size (like many I would prefer the size of the Incredible 4G).. and if I want a subsidized phone with the unlimited data i have (nothing stopping that with unsubsidized down the road).. I need to know by the 28th.

The SGS3 is in Sprint Stores on the 21st.... so I'll probably go into one.. pick one up.. see how it feels... and whether 1 handed Swype is even a possibility like it is on my Incredible.

I am one who prefers to touch something before ordering (which I did not do with the Incredible - had it since day one.. .wayyyy out of contract as I did a 1 year) so playing with it for feel at a sprint store while having a week to order before unlimited data for subsidized phones goes bye bye is perfect..

Otherwise I may just buy phones outright later in the year. like end of year.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
I would suggest doing the in store feel test as well. I just watched reviews for the Inc and purchased it knowing I would like it and...I wasn't disappointed. I wouldn't suggest that for the Inc LTE or SGIII. I'm buying the GSIII regardless so I would suggest that if you don't mind having extra scree space. I see more positive than negative with a larger display so I'm anticipating an enjoyable experience with the GSIII.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shano56:
i would pick and HTC One X/S :p
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NYC Coyote:
Once I noticed sprint getting it weeks before Verizon.. and one week before the "unlimited data" disappears.. figured it was a good idea.

btw.. for anyone not interested in the current phones but wants unlimited... just buy the phone unsubsidized.. I did the math on it...

For me they suggest the 2-4 gig plan... so 110 a month.. I currently pay 80 (before any taxes and discounts).... so 30 extra a month.

So in 2 years that is 720 dollars. As long as you don't mind spending that 720 all at once... get the phone unsubsidized.. keep your unlimited data (since no contract renewal.. you are month to month)...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjmac720:
keeping up the bils ;-)

very good observation. i only have one question. would that even matter if your month to month by now?if you miss a bill they'll discontinue your contract. thus making your unlimited go bye bye, yes?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NYC Coyote:
I don't think I missed a bill in about 5 years.... but they just tacked it onto the next bill with a missed payment charge.... I dont' think one bill kills you

If you miss payments on contract they will kill your contract as well.. and you will owe them the remainder of the contract or something like that.. either way.. you shouldn't miss payments
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PGleo86:
Preordering my GSIII sometime in the next week, certainly before the 28th. Gotta keep that unlimited! Hope to see some of you in the GSIII forums when it drops!
