[General Questions and Answers] madcadder:
I'm going for my first android and the end of the month. So far I have down to either the Photon or the Epic Touch.

After researching and reading, and reading, and reading, and reading...

I still can't decide. Both appear to be great phones, but I'd like to hear some opinions and why's.

So far my Photon reasoning is it's fast, great screen, and I might one day get the dock, but it's locked.

My Epic Touch reasoning is it's lighter, just as fast, great screen too (but different) and it's unlocked.

So what's a noob need to know? What's some of the inside words on the two? Is there a better of the two? Or is there something even better coming out in October?

Too much research has left my little brain scrambled...
[General Questions and Answers] gTen:
unless you need a world phone the Epic Touch completely smokes the Photon is almost every spec...

But if you want a better comparison..what do you generally use your phone for?

There is a rumor of a Nexus Prime...
[General Questions and Answers] madcadder:
Current phone doesn't matter. From the point where I got rid of the Razr way back when I've had nothing but slider phones.

I don't do quite the texting I used to and I'm sure I'll get used to an onscreen QWERT fast enough.

EDIT:

Sorry... Misread that the first time.

What do I use the phone for: It's going to be calls, texting, replace the camera, shoot some vid of the 5 yr old, quick searches, I'll use the GPS. I mean basically I'm looking for a full all-in-one that will be my laptop, camera, and phone for when I'm not at home to have the Laptop and Camera.

I say get epic touch as the root method breaks 4g at least if u have sprint idk what carrier you have not to mention heard some people don't like the photons display cause it looks pixely or something of that nature however motos radios from my understanding are some of the best unlike sammys most the time

However I'm hoping to get the new nexus if its bad ass and comes to Sprint

[General Questions and Answers] QWIKSTRIKE:
I have the MOPHO it's way awesome but after researching the Samsung galaxy S II on Slash gear, and their review of the Epic 2 I think this may be a winner...antenna signal is the only issue that can pop up minus software upgrades. It comes with the same Android OS 2.34 that I am using now so even if it isn't upgraded it will suffice until next year or 2. The GPS is way fast the browser is QWIK;) so I truly feel I cam lamp on this for a year or two easily. Most importantly I love the screen size and only adds .10" in length.
[General Questions and Answers] warrenis1234:
whats funny is that im in such a similar situation because im also battling between the two. difference is that i have the original epic right now....

im going to wait for the epic touch, but im shocked that no one acknowleged how big the photon battery is
[General Questions and Answers] aferda:
Harder choice than some of you make it sound

on paper and live - the Epic touch beats the photon across the board and it is unlocked.

But:

1. Samsung's upgrade history is less than stellar

2. Google is buying Motorola

3. Hardware docks for Photon

4. Webtop for Photon

5. World phone

6. QHD

My ownership experience with my Epic has been mixed and all of it is due to Samsung's builds.

Regarding pixelation on the Photon vs Epic Touch - I find it hard to believe that a smaller screen with higher resolution would be more pixilated

What it boils down to is that I am not sure that I trust Samsung when it comes to phones anymore. But the Epic Touch is a mighty tempting piece none the less.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaliscojorge:
Hi, I am going to travel to Mexico soon, to Juarez, Chihuahua to be more specific. I've been thinking about sim unlocking my vibrant so that I could get a prepaid service while I'm down there. I will start by calling T-Mobile and asking for the unlock code and if no code from them then I will resort to other methods here on the forums. My question is if there is anybody that has unlocked their vibrant and used it with a Mexican company? What unlock method was used and what Mexican carrier used? And what the phone setup was as far as rom and modem? And finally what the overall experience was and if there were any drawbacks when returning to T-Mobile service? Any information on this would be greatly appreciated and a due Thanks in advanced. By the way I have a couple older unlocked phones one being an htc diamond but I would really like to use my vibrant unless it's not worth the hassle.

I unlocked mine using Galaxy_S Unlock

by Helroz on the android market. Just remember to save your EFS folder.

I used telcel when I was in Baja california and it works like a charm. Sold an extra unlocked phone to my friend who lives down there. I bought the sim card but you have to register it but my friend registered it for me.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex530:
I don't know he planning works and everything but I convinced my cousin from Mexico to take a vibrant before he went back and using telcel I think with faster 3g speeds than me -_-. All he did was unlock it. I loaded bionix V and he said its still running smoothly.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaliscojorge:
So it seems that telcel is the provider to use by the responses I've received do far. Once I unlock it here in the US then get the sim from the temporary provider, do I need to input an unlock code or will the new sim be automatically recognized? And it's nice to know I can have internet while down there because I use it allot, I guess it will depend on how much it costs as I will only be there for about a week. Thanks to everyone that has responded so far.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dattack:
If you unlock it using the app from the android market, you don't need a code. I guess if Tmobile gives you a code than you need to use the code.

If you use wifi a lot when traveling, i use my wificalling app instead of using the sim. I can use the wificalling to call the U.S. for free since i have unlimited minutes. If I call mexico, then I use voxofon.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaliscojorge:
When you say wifi calling app are you referring to one specifically from tmobile? If it is would you happen to have a link or apk for that app? And I'll have to Google voxofon to see exactly what it is. Thanks.

There is a flashable wifi calling zip. It's a trigger rom but I haven't used trigger in awhile. You can test at home to see if your wificalling works with tmobile.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dattack:
You can also add the $5 a month plan for international texting unlimited too and use it for a month. or add international rate for $5 a month if you are on a unlimited plan instead of using voxofon. It's pretty decent rate.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaliscojorge:
Those rates you are taking about are through T-Mobile right. And unless I'm missing something would that do me any good while in Mexico? I'll have to give T-Mobile a call and see what they offer.

And thanks for the link, I've been running trigger for a while now. Tried project V for a while but my phone started acting up after a few weeks of running it so I returned to trigger but haven't visited their page in quite a while to see that there is a wifi calling app.

Hey I installed Galaxy_S Unlock and tried the first option which is to see unlock code and all I got was "fffffffffffff" then it said if that code was shown to use step 2 to unlock.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brisseau:
My question is this:

What is the difference between the GPS hardware on the T-Mobile Vibrant 3G and the (original) Nexus S?

If the hardware is the same, would the drivers for the Nexus S (which is running 2.3.5) work on a rooted Vibrant (also running a 2.3.5)?

I'm assuming that someone has already tried this and that's why we're using Angry GPS and such.

If not, what are the differences and how can we convince *cough - force - cough* Samsung to update the driver so that we can get a great Gingerbread ROM developed?

To all the dev's out there, I appreciate all that you do for us. Keep up the great work!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigtom624:
Mine is just the opposite. I get quick locks on Froyo and get get a consistent one on Gingerbread.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brisseau:
I agree that it's nothing trivial and please don't misread my statement as "Jeez, this should be soooo easy" cause I know it's not.

My follow-up question is this:

With the Nexus series (N1, NS) who provides the updates to the GPS when they get the new, stock OS? Does HTC update the GPS software for the Nexus 1 and Samsung for the Nexus S?

Or does Google provide the updates?

If it's the device manufacturer, there should be some sort of petition or clause that states that if they support the Nexus devices, they should have no reason to keep from supporting the similar devices. The Galaxy S and Nexus S are so close in hardware it's not even funny.

What's the best way to contact Samsung and require them to update the GPS hardware? Or am I simply being naive ?

Again, props to the dev's that work to make our phones work!

I have an issue of the power button sinking in. It sunk down so far that I am thinking of opening it and repairing/replacing it. I sadly do not have warranty as its been purchased from someone and I would like to ask if anyone here knows if its possible to repair it or replace it. (If its possible to replace, where to purchase parts as I cant find it anywhere. Only volume button seems available for purchase)

I am running the latest herodeck rom and was wanting to try a few of the new roms out, TeamHeroC-2.3.5-01SEP-V2.zip and the newest WildHeroC rom. I do a wipe and load the roms and I never get past the HTC logo. I have waited for about 8 minutes and nothing, still stuck at the logo screen. Both roms do the same thing. Luckily I did a nandroid and was able to restore back to Herodeck. I will appreciate any help or ideas. And I am using Darch's recovery.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vidaljs:
Hi,

U need to read the opening posts of each ROMs discussion. They each have their own ways to prepare for the ROM.

But most of them you'll need to wipe more than just factory reset.

So all I can say is take the time to read at least the first few pages of each ROM.

Good luck
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] williams1978:
Thanks for the reply, I always wipe everything before flashing a rom or doing a restore so I don't think that is it and I always read the post so that's probably not the problem either. But hey thanks:rolleyes:

ok so i've been looking up and down this forum for an answer but i got nothing at this point.

so i was trying to flash my phone do the CWM recovery and put CM7 on my vibrant. well i screwed something up and i had to odin back to 2.1 and i was having tons of trouble. i finally got the phone to start up but i had no signal and couldnt download anything or mount my SD card. so i used odin to flash again and try something else.

well after anothe 3 hours or so and more research i found myself with the vibrant black screen after the "S" logo well i found from another post to try and odin using T959UVKA7 and now i have done that the phone is non responsive at all.

if i plug it up to my PC it does nothing. wall charger nothing. battery out and hold vol up/down and plug it up to my PC nothing.

the phone is non responsive at all.

can anyone give any incite or any help at all? please i am begging :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamcooks:
T959uv is the vibrant 4g, which has different hardware then our phone. If the odin image you used contained some combinations of bootloaders then you have created a paperweight.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] tomniu:
I need a new phone and I have narrow the choices to these 3 phones: atrix(300$), g2x(300$), and the photon(200$).

Pros for g2x:

higher fps in benchmarks

IPS brighter then pentile and lcd

8mp camera with 1080p

seems very snappy

stock gingerbread

1.3 front camera

Pros for atrix:

higher resolution and density screen

1gb ram

huge batttery

not as bulky as photon

bigger storage(16gb)

pros for photon:

Big screen(i know, contradictory)

better screen?(brighter than lcd)

quadrant scores

kickstand

loud speakers

also does the 1gb vs 512 mb ram really affect the performance of the phone? like multitasking and quickness. from what i've seen, the g2x seems way more snappy then the atrix or the photon. am i missing something here? how fast does each load apps and websites? Also can you use the photon on tmobile here in US? or is it only for international. i looked through a lot of forums with no definitive answers. and also does the atrix only use edge on tmobile? is that true?

also from what i've gathered the g2x seems to have a lot of bugs like reboots an d boot loops, is that true? can it be fixed by updates? or is it hardware. does flashing other roms or kernels help?

what are the battery life on each? which one is the best?

Sorry that post was long, I just want honest answers regardless of what phone you have, since this is in the g2x section.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
RAM doesn't affect performance at all. It's just that the Photon and Atrix are running Motorola's UI which bogs down the phone like Sense UI.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tomniu:
ram

So will Custom roms fix the lag on the atrix and photon? but on youtube the videos showed that their performance wasn't that much better:confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
And boot loops are a direct result of user error.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tomniu:
What do you mean by "user error"?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
Users not flashing properly. I am currently making and updating several themes for this phone, so I'm flashing various roms, and the component apks dozens of times EVERY DAY....and the ONLY time I've ever gotten a boot loop was when I made a stupid mistake...either flashed the wrong file, or didn't wipe what I was supposed to for what I was trying to do, or didn't fix permissions, or I changed smali code beyond what I knew what I was doing, and it went wrong.

But never once have I had my phone just up and decide to "boot loop."

Also, sometimes people make changes to things and then boot up to try it, and it takes 3-4 minutes to boot up because they're rebuilding the dex for 150 apps...adn they just start screaming, "OMG I"M BOOTLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" But they just need to chill out and wait.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nory82688:
I've had both the atrix and the g2x. Personally, I would go with the g2x, has the same processor as the atrix, but stock android is the best in my book. The g2x is absolutely the fastest smartphone I've ever owned. Already has an amazing development page going on with AOSP,cm7, and MiUi ...etc. camera is better on the g2x. True 1080p recording ( I don't think the atrix got that update for 1080p like it was supposed to). To me g2x wins hands down out of those three phones IMO.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
well

1) there are phones that have had reboots, lockups and shut downs. that have nothing to do with user error, these are people that never flashed anything( it does appear the line of phones that had this are gone. dont see much of it anymore except from people that have had their phones for a while)

2)each phone you listed are on different carriers so you really need to look at whos got the best coverage for you.

3)atrix and photon have motoblur so g2x wins right there.

you didnt mention verizon if you dont care about a locked bootloader or blur than the bionic comes out on thursday and should be a great phone. i think motorola makes the best hardware. and if the google buy goes through thats a big plus.

but if you can wait until october even better options will be out. oct-dec is gonna really be a big next tech phone period. and icecream sandwich will come on some of those phones.

screens. the ips on the g2x beats the atrix and photon hand down.

if your into installing custom roms and tmobile service is good in your area the g2x should be fine for you. if you dont do custom romming than dont expect much in the way of updates or support for the g2x.

I really suggest you wait for octobers phones if you can.

good luck
