Thanks. This makes a lot of sense to me. I'll try your suggestion.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mooglepimp:
So, I got 2 TBolts off ebay with cracked screens for $245 (total, for the pair). Figured it was a good buy since I could replace the screens myself for fairly cheap, then sell one and keep one. I get them, and I notice that there's no VZW branding anywhere on one of the phones. I boot it into bootloader and it says "S-Off", whereas the VZW branded on says "S-On". Did some quick googling for "unbranded thunderbolt" and read this

(damn, can't post links. Google for "unbranded thunderbolt" and click the first link to see pictures of the bootloader and phone that I'm referencing)

The bootloader screen pretty much matches what it says there.

So, here's my question...is this phone an extra-special one that I shouldn't mess with? Should I not replace the digitizer/screen with one that has a VZW brand on it? Should I resell it? I'm not a developer, so perhaps it better served in the hands of a developer? I'm really not sure what I should do with it, but I figure that you guys might have an idea.

So, with the chance of getting flamed or... flaming myself depending on the reaction to this. SprintFeed apparently got word that the Galaxy S II will be hitting Sprint first, on September 9th, ahead of all other carriers.

http://www.sprintfeed.com/2011/08/rumor-samsung-epic-touch-4g-releasing-september-9th/

There is the link.

Just thought any defectors would like the heads up. I personally am sticking with my 3Devo.

From the screenshots it looks to be the same phone. No concrete answer on if it's packing a Snapdragon which had been rumored or if it's sticking with Exynos. *Shrug* guess we shall find out.
[HTC EVO 3D] corybucher:
Awesome, can't wait. Jk Samsung sucks.
[HTC EVO 3D] demo27vol1:
Damn Sprint is on a roll. Hopefully they get the Nexus Prime when it comes out. That's the only phone I'm interested in. The GS2 should of came out earlier. Samsung waited to long in my opinion, But nevertheless Sprint has a good line up this year.
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
Yeah, the only reason I can see why they waited was because of the pressure from Apple and it's "your phone looks like mah phone!" 6-year old meltdown of a lawsuit that has been going on. I dunno.
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
Any defectors are probably hanging out in the sgs2 forum where apparently the op needs to be.
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
Oh snap you got me!.

Wow, I was all "general information" and you were like "Eat it, OP!"

and I was like "Oh snap!"

:rolleyes:
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
I was going to go the SGS2 route but it's just too little too late. The E3D in modded form can outpace a stock SGS2 easily...and the nPrime is right around the corner.

I used to love HTC and I've really grown to like the E3D General forum, y'all is cool peoples (most of the time)...but aside from the unlock fiasco I can't stand the ****ty radio and the strange behavior when powering on/off really makes me feel like one day it won't turn back on again....especially when I've seen it happen right in front of me.

...but I sure as hell will not post a thread here about it. Nothin' personal OP, just sayin'...
[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
About time :D
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
Well, I know a lot of people aren't happy with the Evo 3D, I decided to drop this nugget and see how it went. Like I said, I'm happy with my evo. My Radios don't suck too bad, only thing I have issue with is a Black SOD every 9hrs when using a custom kernel... which I can workaround with a stock kernel.

You're post is a little confusing. so... you're waiting for the nPrime?. that's how it sounded. That's looking to be an October release, it's being made by Samsung too. Which I find odd, I would think Motorola would be involved. I know it was just recently announced that Google was going to buy them, but...I assumed it was in the making to be some big lead up. oh well, probably next year.
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
I'd think I'd like it more if it didn't look like the iPhone had a retarded son.
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
You're confusing. And your justification for starting this thread is unfounded.
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
Yea another Samsung phone post in the Evo3d forum, to me its just trolling, and by page 5 it'll turn into another htc vs samsung tech flame fest.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Thank god I don't get the Black SOD...

Yeah, I'm waiting for the nPrime. It's being made by Samsung which, while at first really put me off but I did sport an NS4G for a few weeks last month. Aside from feeling cheap and too light--which most people wouldn't see as a down side--it was actually a fantastic phone. Great battery life, phenomenal camera and an unmatched Android experience. It did have the traditionally weak Samsung radio, but, it seems that you can't escape that anymore.

...and so far as Motorola is concerned Google has assured it's partners that the bidding process for the Nexus line would in fact remain the same. Google is saying all but "listen, we bought MMi for the patents. The Set-top-box and mobile manufacturing is just a plus, that we don't intend to use." Of course time will tell how true that is. For the time being I believe them.

However a Motorola built Nexus would probably be fantastic as long as they ditch that ****ty Pentile screen technology. I bet they would have class leading radios and battery life too.
[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
Yea MOTO isn't far from being a great phone manufacturer..they do have pretty good build quality and their radios are bar none..they have been in that game for a while..ditch all MOTO blur or map and the pentile..add some Google magic and we could have a winner in a few months.
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
ME?.. troll?!..

how dare you make such accusations, sir!

Well, if (when) that happens, I'll be on the HTC side. totally didn't mean for it turn into a Vs. thread if (when) that happens. should I edit my initial post and say how stupid Samsung and the SGS2 is or just wait? lol
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Agreed. Their designs are a bit stodgy looking, but their hardware (aside from those horrible screens and penchant for keyboards) is rock solid. They nearly invented cellular mobile phone technology. They have been doing mobile communications for as long as there has been a commercial mobile communications market. Their radios are fantastic. Build quality is always awesome. How many OG Droids do you still see around? Tons...and I have seen a lot that are beaten to death physically but still kicking ass, 2nd hand, 3rd hand...that says quite a bit.

Without knowing anything about the contents of their patent portfolio I am confident that it contains thousands of very relevant patents. I can't wait to see Google's next move.
[HTC EVO 3D] aypanthony:
I came from the Epic 4G to the Evo 3D. The main thing about Samsung was there slowwwwww release of updates. The Epic 4G rolled out with Eclair, took a while to get Froyo and is still awaiting Gingerbread. This really seem slow down ROM and kernel development. HTC seems pretty spot on with their OS updates.

I am waiting to see if Samsung support for their phones has improved. If it has, maybe I would consider going back. Until then, my Evo 3D is the shizzle.

[HTC EVO 3D] Drewmungus:
I keep seeing people say they are waiting for the nexus prime. Personally I'm not especially since rumors are pointing toward it being a dual core samsung with a 720p pentile display. I was so pissed when they announced the nexus s and all it ended up being was a galaxy s with aosp and a curved screen the sgs had been out a good 5 months and here was a rehash. At least the Nexus one had hardware that took a couple months for others with the same to be released(evo 4g, incredible etc). The prime sounds like it's going to be a sgs 2 with a hd screen thats weak in my opinion.

It seems like once a phone gets CM they get the updates almost right after the nexus line anyway.
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
That's exactly why I'm not waiting for nexus prime. I'm all for the sgs2. The nexus primes major selling point will be ice cream sandvich.
[HTC EVO 3D] housry23:
My thoughts exactly. I have my yearly upgrade coming in November and plan on using on the Nexus Prime. 1.5ghz dual core, 4.5" 720p screen. Everything I've heard about this phone has been good so far, but the details are few and far between. I could change my mind once the full details come out, but as of right now the Nexus Prime will be my next device. Don't get me wrong, I love the Evo 3D. It is a great phone and I may end up keeping it and just using my upgrade to get a phone and turn around and sell it. I wish the Prime was being built by HTC. To the guy that said he is surprised the Moto isn't building the Prime, the reason for that is because production and development for the Nexus line of phones starts about a year prior to release. This means that around Christmas Google and said manufacturer plan the device, so production is already at least 8 months in. Too late to change. I know Google said that the Nexus line will still be open to other manufacturers, but I'll believe that when I see it. I think it would be cool if Motorola made the Nexus line from now on, but that we'll just have to wait and see.

Also. to add to the troll pics

I am still an HTC fan for the primary reason of development. There is so much waiting to be done with the E3D. I'll stick with it. Yes the radios are pretty touchy but hey so am I. LOL.

Fully rooted and loving it. Running Synergy......for now. EVO 3D without root is like a pool without water. It makes no Sense......
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
That only says that there is a rumor that Verizon might get it. I have heard from one of my Sprint buddies an equally non-definitive rumor that not only will Sprint definitely be getting the nPrime but that Google has a number of special Sprint only devices lined up...

Sprint is Google's carrier buddy....Sprint needs Google and Google loses nothing from having an uber-cooperative partner. Verizon got gVoice integration? Does Verizon have any Nexus? Ever? Didn't they change a bunch of their Android phones to default to Bing once?

Once again, all of this is 100% rumor at this point, but, I would be shocked if Sprint didn't get the nPrime...first

Att did the same thing taking off the Google search and installing yahoo as the default. LoL wtf....

[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:

[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
Im sure Sprint will get the Nexus Prime... like 6 months after its released. End of this year or beginning of next year theres about a 0% chance of that happening.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
6 months after it's released to who? Verizon who's never had interest in one? AT&T who just got the NS4G a few weeks ago? T-Mobile, who is about to disappear?

Whenever it comes out on Sprint I'll get it...

[HTC EVO 3D] sn0b0ard:
This can be caused by a loose battery connection. I used to have that problem with my phone randomly rebooting / powering down and it was being caused by a loose battery not making full contact all the time. Check out my thread on how I and others have fixed this problem:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1196380
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Thanks but it's not that. I've got a very snug battery. There is something up with how this power button operates...I think shutdown process is very complicated and easy to fnck up, kinda like Windows95 and the "your computer is safe to turn off" screen....a big symptom of something being screwed up was not being able to get to that screen....there's a lot of 'software stuff' going on for shutdown, obviously, software is running and needs to do garbage collection and save things....but there also seems to be a lot of 'software stuff' going on for power-on. Even on a perfectly normal power-on cycle it takes between 3-5 seconds for the screen to actually come on which suggests to me that there's a whole lotta' software goin' on. I'd imagine it's security related, but, whatever it is it leads to the power-button action being insanely flakey.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
hey man, just out of curiosity, what exactly happens when your power button acts up? From reading the boards, I believe at one point you got rid of your 3d and got a nexus for a minute, then another 3d, right? If so, did it happen on both of them? I haven't had any issues with it turning on or off, not that I know of anyways. That's why I ask what exactly happens, so I can see if I can reproduce it. The only time I had an issue with it turning on, was right after I ran revolutionary and then I powered down. I hit the power button, and nothing happened. I thought I bricked, but then I held the power button down for 4 seconds or so and then it powered up. Scared me for a sec, but that was the only time it's ever happened.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Yup, that's me. The first E3D definitely did the same thing, though I didn't have it as long and didn't have anything to flash (lacking s-off and all) so I ran into it a lot less..

It seems to happen the most when it is connected to power at some point....via usb or wall adapter doesn't seem to matter. If I power-off while plugged in there is a near 100% chance that I will have to do a battery pull....even if I power it off and then connect to charge. However if I pull the power cable out for 15-20 seconds before attempting to turn it on it seems to be a 50/50 chance of powering on. When I have to do a battery pull I just yank the SD card anyway since I'm in there, but weeks ago before I did that automatically it seemed like (roughly) 75% of the time I didn't need to yank the SD card to get it to power on.

I never had this happen with my E4G. The power button action was reliable 100% of the time...though boot time increased tremendously by the end of that phones lifetime...I can't even imagine how many bad blocks there must be from the 1000+ flashes it dealt with.

EDIT: I also happened to witness a E3D (the day before launch) at my local RadioShack turn on, operate just fine, shut down....and never come back to life again. There were a couple similar reports on here the next day...I think the power-off/power-on sequences are likely far more complicated than you would expect a "power button" to be attached to....my guess is for security, but, who knows.

[Thunderbolt General] MisterDonut:
When the Tbolt first launched, there was so much anticipation and excitement, as the threads were alive daily with so many different types of ROMS.

Now they all seem to be moving away from Xda.. is it the community or is it the phone.. I can definitely say the golden era for the TBOLT are over, its probably good compare to other phones, but it seems like its on a downhill descend.

how can we make it better??
[Thunderbolt General] subsoniic:
blah blah blah another worthless thread
[Thunderbolt General] lrs421:
I smell operation iron fist making its way towards this thread.
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
There was a somewhat similar spirited thread started yesterday. It's locked now, and this one may well share a similar fate shortly. That' said, I'm not aware of any devs that have left XDA in a while. There's plenty of devices that have far less development than the Tbolt. The ROM count in the dev section is hardly a useful measure of development and progress. Allow me to point out a couple things you haven't considered.

The last OTA will likely be the last Froyo OTA. Normally, an OTA would spur on a new wave of ROM updates, but this isn't the case because of 2 factors. The OTA was only marginally better than the MR2 leak that some already built ROMs on, and Froyo is pretty much old news since the leak back in July of GB proved to be approaching OTA release quality. That's been the base of Gingeritis for a while now, and is becoming the base for uberBAMF and several others. BAMF is an issue all it's own, where their Sense, deSensed, and ReMixed ROMs made for a veritable plethora. It appears they'be given up on Froyo development and focused in GB, and in a manner that will avoid 3 or more flavors of the same base. Because of all of this, yes, you're definitely seeing a certain reduction of active ROM threads, not just here, but across any development site.

It makes little sense to assume devs are leaving to go to other platforms because, at the moment, the Tbolt is still the cream of the crop, especially on Verizon. And before someone points out the EVO 3D, I'd like to point out Sprint's lack of LTE which makes all that power rather pointless.... It's just another over-juiced phone on a substandard network; a situation that's been the case on every carrier until LTE arrived.
