Haha I know and I'm right there with you. I dislike waiting but it's for the best if you aren't wowed by anything.

Tiny, the reason I personally held off from the Nexus is: the battery, camera, and the fact that I want to be a part of a phone's dev cycle from the beginning. For those reasons, I'm waiting to see what Samsung (GSIII please!) and HTC have to offer in the coming months. The Nexus is a great device but my main concern is a significantly higher capacity battery to suit my needs.

Moved over to the HTC Rezound end of Feb. Great phone.... Dinc is my backup.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I Am Marino:
I retired my Incredible and my Droid 2, (I swapped between them, mostly Incredible) for the Rezound, liking it thus far, can't wait for AOSP though.

I still mess with my INC though, still smooth as could be, I have AOKP loaded on it.

I just sadly retired my MIUI Dinc for what you see me posting now. I love this phone.....but my first smartphone will always be my first smartphone
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcmarshall:
+1 exactly. I was looking forward to keeping my dinc and running off contract but my audio jack just crapped out. Leaning towards a razr even though I would prefer a smaller phone. (I would also like to have a world phone!)

BTW- Is the razr boot loader unlocked yet? Gonna take a peek on their forum now.

Update- Perhaps soon! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1519448

Retire the DInc? What are you nuts?

I sold my original Inc in November for $140 after getting an X2 for the same price. Then i upgraded(or so i thought) to a Thunderbolt, due to the crappiness of the X2. The entire time kicking myself for getting rid of my Inc. Well, i just purchased a shiny new Inc from a lady that obviously didnt know what she had. $70 and its brand damn new. I'm happy to inform you all, that i am now fighting with myself over retiring the Thunderbolt so i can slap my Inc in an Otterbox and rock it like its 2009. So go ahead and retire your DInc. Give em to me, ill put them in a case, and either use them for backup or paint each one a different color to match my outfit for the day....:cool:
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m52 power!:
My wife has always had basic mobile phones. Well she's been using my dinc so much lately she loved it and just had to have one. Funny thing is she has an upgrade available to get any new-tech phone she wants but she HAD to have a dinc.

I found one local on craigslist, the girl was upgrading to an iphone. Scored her used dinc for $50 and it too is in perfect shape and my wife is very happy :)

Needless to say as soon as a worthy alternative to the dinc is available I'll be using the upgrade! :D:D:D

WINNING!

The Inc is a nice phone. I still enjoy playing with it.

I wanted a Galaxy Nexus as I really wanted a Nexus and ICS and love the screen. I was also craving 4g as it was added to my area in August.

And I think CM7 is still the best ROM. ICS still has some bugfixing to be done I think and it seems that the updates are slow. I don't blame you one bit for waiting watt9493.

So can any 4g lte phone if you're on 4g. Or pretty much any GSM phone.

Also do you really need to talk and surf at once? I rarely hear of anyone using it. Just hear people bragging about being able to do it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Surprisingly, the only time I've heard anyone mention simultaneous talk & surf is those AT&T commercials from back in the day.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
Yeah, true.

Sad to see the inc forums dying. Also sad to see Nils ROM not get the full theming due to the m10 editor being incompatible. In terms of stability and looks it was at the top.

I want more people on these forums to get the Galaxy Nexus. I love the phone now even with it's quirks and I think it will get better when the OS updates fix a lot of the software bugs.

But even more I want people to pick a phone they're happy with.

The inc is my first smartphone and still really awesome. I need to find a new purpose for it instead of 30 minutes of screen on time and usage a week, lol.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1tommy:
The DINC was the first smartphone for my wife & I, and we both experienced serious issues with them, which ultimately led to both of us going with the iPhone 4. We kept the DINCs however, as backups in case something were to happen to the iPhones.

Then two interesting things happened... the DINC's warranties expired and I discovered rooting.

As for now, the iPhone is what I use, and I like it just fine. But after finally rooting my DINC and essentially *fixing* it in the process of all the things that pissed me off to begin with, I'll very likely be returning to Android at my next renewal/upgrade.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
I had a pretty bad issue on my first DINC. Multitouch was broken on my first DINC. Like if you try to touch the screen with two fingers and release both it acts like one stayed on the screen. I looked into rooting, knew about it before getting the phone, and thought installing a custom rom like CM would fix it. Reading online it turned to be a hardware issue that several phones had in that batch (Best buy was also offerring them free with a 2yr contract at the time. I got that returned after about 6 days of dealing with it and the new one is what I have right now. So my Android adventure officially started January 1, 2011 with the DINC and my rooting adventure (when it really started) was January 7, 2011. Funny as the phone that led me to the DINC was the Samsung Captivate. I would have bought the Fassy but the DINC looked better and my friend owned one. Also verizon stripped down their Galaxy S further than ATT's Captivate. Turned out to be the best possible phone to get on Verizon.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Tiny4579,

I hear you man. It's unusual seeing these threads die down so much. We've seen a lot of dev work go on here and good people pass by. This is my first smartphone as well and rooting it was definitely the best move. I was going to move onto the GNex but since February I've had this idea that I'll wait for the summer and hopefully (a man can dream right?) purchase the oft rumored SGSIII. I really want to buy a phone and be there from the beginning of the dev cycle.

M1tomny,

Glad to hear you made the best of your situation. Had the iPhone 4 initially been announced for Verizon alongside the AT&T version, I would've owned it. Now, I'm an Android enthusiast.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] withbloodskies:
This is also my first android phone, I don't know a lot about phones either.. and unfortunately my contract don't end till late December. I got the phone free as well with the 2 year contract.

What will I retire it for? I don't know honestly, there's a lot of months to pass by and some good phones could be announced.

I know there's been buzz on the maxx and nexus and a few other phones, but since this is my first phone I didn't have the experience of a locked boot loader etc. I just wanna follow some inc devs to whatever phone they will get.

Alot of the inc devs are extremely talented and amazing.

I mean, its incredible were running ICS, these devs are just the best. I wouldn't want it any other way. I'm glad.

I didn't even root my phone until a year in at least, I thought about it for awhile but.. the battery and and apps and customization I wanted.. was to root.

This was... A couple months before gb release.

It's pretty awesome to hear a lot of people had the incredible as there first phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
I know what you mean. I started with this phone on eclair and it's awesome seeing development span three major OS upgrades and Sense UI upgrades (or downgrades depending on who you ask) officially and unofficially.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LightDark:
Probably the next HTC One x if it comes to verizon.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] withbloodskies:
Man..two things I hate about that phone after reading thoroughly on it. No sd slot and can't take the battery out. How do you manage to fix a lockup?

Though, I disagree with the company its with AT&T. It should be on Verizon anyway. But its a beast of a phone though, if anything the Rezound is looking quite nice with the new sense 4.0 coming.

I the Galaxy Nexus is fine and dandy, but I haven't seen a single sense from on it in development, can it handle sense? I want something big though, the incredible is literally to small for my hands. My thumb can manage to take up two or three letters on the keyboard. I'm not fat, its just the way my hands are built. Makes its difficult to type sometimes and I thank god we got aggressive predictive text.

Hell a Xbox controller is small in my hands. A nice big phone would win me over, when I first got the incredible I did not think 3.7" was small for a phone.

The LG Spectrum was pretty nice too, but it didn't fit what I would want. The Rezound has a lot of DInc devs and has quality music. Its probably what I'm going to get but I have a feeling that phone will be dead weight by the time my contract pops up and then there will be another phone people will get.

Too much at one time, I did see the rumored SG3 and if the specs are true, its going to be one hell of a phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LightDark:
I agree that if the SG3 really is that good then that will be the next phone that i get. And i read a while ago that you could hold down the power button for 5 seconds much like a computer and it would simulate a battery pull. but the no sd card definately changed my mind they made a big design flaw there. Would the SG3 be able to run sense or is that not possible if it isnt a HTC ? But i also agree with the fact that the incredible is just to small that was part of the draw for the one x to me but now that i look at it i dont think that is what i want to be using for the next 2 years.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Minus the lack of sd card and removable battery, the One X is the first phone this year to wow me software wise and design wise. At a minimum, I hope the battery is addressed in the next Verizon HTC phone released. As far as the SGSIII, I'm trying not to think about that phone until ts announced.

As far as Sense roms on non-HTC phones, it is entirely possible. I believe there was one potential Sense rom for the GNex although I don't keep up with the phones development. I wouldn't expect to see Sense on other manufacturers phone's because of the serious work needed to port another UI. I don't see there being much benefit on behalf of any dev that tries, especially when considering the differences in drivers/chips, display resolutions, and various bugs that arise from ports. Not to mention the amount of disdain and unnecessary negative comments from users saying "Why port Sense? Get xyz phone if you want Sense."
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LightDark:
Good point I think i will wait until a phone comes out that is similar to the droid incredible in the sense that it being somewhat future proof. I guess i will just see how many developers are going to the one x because that could change my mind about it. The removable battery doesn't bother me as much if it is true that you can just hold the power button down to do a hard reset. And on the issue of the sd card could that be worked around by using Dropbox and other similar sites ? I mean it wouldn't be the same as a sd card but it could be a substitute to this issue.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nioin3k:
My first smartphone was the original Droid, which I enjoyed but did not customize. I ended up giving it to my sister to replace her Droid that she dropped, and getting the Incredible (2 for 50 each deal) with my brother.

That's when I started to customize, root, etc. Now I'm in love with Android, I'd never be able to switch to an iPhone!

I think the Google Nexus or it's successor would be my optimal choice for replacing my Inc.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Lightdark,

Nothing wrong with waiting until you have a phone that tailors to your needs. I'm certain the One X will have a great dev base once properly unlocked or rooted, it's a high end phone. I'm keeping to Verizon so my next phone has a high bar to reach.

If what you offloaded to your Dropbox or Box account wasn't something you readily need, then yeah that's a good solution. It depends on what you are willing to not have instantly accessible you know? I've been making due with only 12 gigs of a possible 16 gb. I want my next to have 32 gb cuz I have plenty of music that I'd love to carry on my phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LightDark:
SlimSnoopOS,

I completely forgot about the music storage you have a point there my music takes up all 8 gigs of my emmc and half of my sd card :D so I guess it would be a issue if you couldn't go more then 32 gig. I hope they will figure out these flaws and fix them so that I can stay with htc and not go to another manufacturer... What would your ideal phone be ?(specs wise)

Inc 4G, unless some other HTC one variant comes out

sent from my incredible
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
I'm not to particular as long as it's a high end phone at the time of its release. My usage involves web browsing, calls, texts, and maybe playing an hour of phone games a month (I'm a huge console gamer haha) so battery life takes precedence over all specs in my next phone. I would have to say lte, 720 display (since it's the new norm), f/2.2 camera, minimum of 16 gb memory and sd slot OR 32gb if not expandable, ICS, 1gb of ram, and battery rated 2000 mah or greater. My two non-hardware wants are: there must be a dev community and it needs to be on Verizon.

Despite the Inc being my first smartphone, I'm partial to either an HTC or Samsung as my next phone as they each have made phones the last two years I would buy had I been in need of a phone regardless of carrier. I understand people want quad core cpu/dual core gpu or the like, but I don't see how I would effectively use it since I don't watch movies, record 720p/1080p vids, or game on my phone.

How about your ideal specs?

Will upgrade Incredible to Galaxy Note

I don't mind the size
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LightDark:
Well i used to play alot of xbox but lately I have been really busy and in the car alot along with class so i have taken up phone gaming haha. I guess I would want a processor that could handle it all and not lag probably a quad core. 1-1.5 gb of ram would be awsome.I would like the 16 gb of internal and the expandable of 32gb that would be good for all my music. it would need a removable battery that is big enough to hold a charge throught the day after heavy use thickness really isnt a issue.(I have big hands i feel like im gonna break the slim phones anyway haha) the lte would also be a good thing. But overall i would just want a phone that im not going to regret getting after a year i want it to last through the 2 year contract like the droid incredible has. Whats your opinion on the droid incredible 4g ?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PolynesianMedic:
This is a tough one. Part of me says I am bailing as soon as the contract is up and going to Sprint because they are a cheaper alternative and seem to offer the same coverage in my area. Part of me says I'm VERY satisfied with my Inc especially now that ICS ROM alternatives are out there for it. Finally the last part of me says the GNex is a great looking choice for my next phone, so I am really not sure what I am doing at this point, other then whatever I do, it will be rooted ASAP!

I haven't even noticed it. I heard of it but it hasn't caught my eye. I am noticing that I don't care for rumors, I prefer actual announcements or official docs so I'll know more when it releases. Seeing as the One Series are HTC's 2012 flagship products, I would hope it is a continuation of that series and nothing else. I recall seeing a photo of this rumored DInc 4g and immediately thought, it's just a Rezound.

Getting the Rezound
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] username235:
Rezound :rolleyes: if you root and flash, you'll find it very odd compared to the dinc, since we don't have s-off, but its easy to get used to. Its an awesome phone, extremely underrated because of Verizon's promotion of the Droid razr and Google's (More like Samsung's) flagship phone. I really don't care for quadcores, with how amazing this phone performs, maybe a large gamer would like the quadcores, but that's what I have my tablet for...not that its quad core, but for gaming. Anyways, 4.3 inches is a nice upgrade from the inc, and the 1280x720 pixel screen is absolutely amazing. We still have the only phone with a higher ppi than the iphone. Bragging right, right there.

thank you for the convincing i just bought one. How hard is it to go back to stock if it has a problem since it has no s-off?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] username235:
There's guides in the Rezound section for unlocking/relocking, and getting everything set up. Its extremely easy to relock, just enter

adb oem lock bootloader

Or something of the sort. Its an official htc unlock, so its made easy.

A lot of people think that they can't return it after they relocking, because in hboot it'll say **relocked**, but in all reality, verizon employees don't look at that. We have one or two guys who work as salesmen who even confirm when you return it, employees don't check hboot to see if its been unlocked. Just if there's really a problem with it

Edit: to go completely stock, its as simple as flashing the PHxxx.zip ruu in hboot. Official ics for us may be coming soon, rumors say tomorrow, so it'll be easy to get your hands on an ruu if it does.
