[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
LG thrill is faster. dual core dual chanel ram same gpu but frame rates may be better due to he other feature mentioned.

is it better? better at what? there is not often better/worse. there is only what each does/doesn't do. the thrill will browse sites with a lot of content much better and may be better for gaming.

the 3d is a joke. it is less impressive to look at the 3d than it is to look at the 2d infuse screen. it doent have good black levels or vivid colors.

the infuse is light and thin but feels flimsy (because it is, the captivate was build much more solid) but the thrill looks cheep and has a lot of edge area. it is within about a millimeter of the infuse with a smaller screen and thicker.

the thrill is a good preformer especially with browsing but may feel slow if you open the camera app. there is definately something not right with that but it might get updated. the infuse has dated core hardware but looks more impressive, will get android 2.3.5 soon enough and I have no complaints.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
I miss my thrill

I tweaked it and ran gtg thriller rom and it was plain awesome.

The 3d was great. good content is rare and most people hold the phone wrong
[Samsung Infuse 4G] entropism:
Looks like the Thrill has the same quality control issues the G2X has. I'm on my second, and it's worse than my first one. Battery lasts about 5 hours, drops 10%/hour when idle. It gets HOT when charging, so hot that if you browse the web or do anything, it will reboot on you constantly. It's easily over the 40 degrees Celsius the battery is rated at.

Last night was the last straw for me... The screen got so hot, the adhesive that holds it in place melted, and I have black stuff melting down the inside of my screen. I haven't seen that since I was repairing the old Samsung Instincts.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Artimus009:
In other words...it's a big fat NO. I was thinking of trading my infuse for one, but I see too many of the same complaints.

I see the Thrill more as a novelty toy than a phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
the infuse had all those complaints ('cept the insane battery drian.) but I haven't seen new users say those things and mine doesn't do it any more. I wonder if the kd5 modem caused it on the early infuse models?

[Vibrant General] l-levit:
I'm running (Rom)Simply Honey 5.1 Revolution(JVR GB 2.3.4) 8/14/11)One Last Go With JVR

And Google Maps tries to update, but every time it does I get "Package File Not Signed Correctly"

I've cleared data and cache for Maps and Market, but it still will not update!?

Any ideas?
[Vibrant General] Dattack:
I think I had the same problem since I am reflashing a different rom now. I think I worked when I uninstalled maps. See if that worked or not.
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
Does it have a themed market? I don't never used the ROM if it does replace it with a stock one.
[Vibrant General] l-levit:
I tried uninstalling and re-installing, no luck!

I'm thinking I should wipe and reflash..

Sucks cause I got everything setup and running great besides that
[Vibrant General] Fuskand:
If you have root explorer, you can go into /system/app (or wherever the GoogleMaps.apk is) and delete it manually. After a reboot, you will be able to re-install it from the Market.

[Dell Streak 7] bstylz911:
how is the dell streak 7 treating you guys?

any short reviews?

should i buy one or save my money?
[Dell Streak 7] stevedebi:
They may be updating the WiFi models to honeycomb next week. I have the 3g model. It is good, except the battery life is not good ( max of 4 hours). The screen is 800 x 480, but I find it quite nice. Get rid of the Dell stage launcher. It is very snappy. I'm pleased with mine. Edit: the honeycomb update is supposed to help the battery drain issues.

The form factor is great, fits the hand well and is good for carrying around. It won't charge from a computer USB, but will operate while connected. It has to have the special mains charger to actually charge the battery.

Edit: some people have reported a problem with " read only" memory, but I have not had any issues.
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
FOUR HOURS? Wow. That sucks. My Wifi Only with wifi on I think it's around 10, with wifi off at screen off, more like 50. All assuming standby with no use etc..

I wanted to add one more thing about the USB connection, it uses this stupid proprietary, hard to plug in, potentially not reliable (IMO) dock connector for charging or USB, there's no microusb connector or such on the device. Personally this annoys me, I hate the dock connector. Maybe it's more robust than I think it is, but every night when I plug it in I wonder how many more times it's going to work.
[Dell Streak 7] tech5:
My first one suffered nand read only (but i spend atleast 4hrs a week in adb and nvflash and fastboot trying to solve) cant send mine into dell cause i took it apart very easy 6 screws .....but being as i bought it new and got to make payments from tmous no biggie you live you learn ......my second one i paid like 150 cash for and its been great ive even tried to get it to lock the nand so i could figure out what the problem was, it seems solid as a rock

pros (1) great form factor

(2) 4g model keeps me connected to the shop when im out

(3) doesn't look as cheesy as some of the other models out there

(4) great for ICE (in car entertainment) movies,gps,streaming music over 4g

Cons (1) battery

(2) if you do any gaming or video make sure your not gonna use it for the rest of the day ....lol

(3) and finally yes there are people out there that will oooo and ahahah over your new ipad .....until you tell them its not one and then there like O....its one of those android junk tablets then isn't it

sorry for the slight rant ....but boring day at the sign shop .....back to making stickers i go
[Dell Streak 7] stevedebi:
I don't use the wifi off at screen off because it requires the table to re-acquire the wifi. You are the first person to claim 10 hours of use, much less 50 hours of standby. Most people have experienced along what I claim, about 4 hours max.

Or are you saying that the device is on standby for 10 hours? That is possible.
[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
I get 10 to 12 hrs on moderate use, mainly web & light games throughout the day. I would imagine that it might last 4-5 hours of constant use.
[Dell Streak 7] lrs421:
Same here. Cant wait to see how Honeycomb enhances the battery life.
[Dell Streak 7] stevedebi:
Yup, 4 hours is about it, and that includes keeping the screen brightness down. Mine does better on 3 G than WiFi.
[Dell Streak 7] bstylz911:
So guys..good buy for 208$ or save.money?
[Dell Streak 7] lrs421:
I personally say yes. I love this thing and I expect it to get better very soon.
[Dell Streak 7] stevedebi:
It is definitely a good price. I like mine.
[Dell Streak 7] jydie:
I really like mine now that I got the read-only error fixed by Dell. And for $208 that is a pretty good deal. I say go for it.
[Dell Streak 7] NSpec:
I really like my Streak 7 Wifi. Bought it for $200 a couple of months ago. It does everything I want so far and with Honeycomb on the way even better.

I would definitely consider the new Amazon Kindle Fire coming out in November for $199 if I was currently in the market. I don't know how the Fire is locked down or anything yet but I would definitely find out before buying. The hardware seems to be a bit more modern in the screen.

With that said I still love my Streak and have no regret in buying it.
[Dell Streak 7] bstylz911:
Thank you for all your input and decided to buy the streak. :) I had a streak before but it has the read only problem :(
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
Reconnecting to wireless is about 5s.. By the time I unlock it and go to an app, wifi is up... Completely a non-issue. If if you use something like Green Power, it'll continue to receive email etc, and I have it leave wifi on while connected to AC.

As for my usage, I pretty much said exactly what i meant..

So just to repeat it.. Standby, 10 hours with wifi on, 50 with wifi off. I've never really measured run-time with the screen on the whole time, but it generally uses 12-15%/hr in normal use, higher playing games or other heavy CPU stuff.

I've had days where I'm doing a lot with the tablet, such as a few hours programming a new thing in Tasker, playing Zenonia, browsing news etc etc.. Never have I had it dying before bed, maybe 20% at the end of the day at the worst.
[Dell Streak 7] stevedebi:
Well, congratulations. No one else I've heard of gets those kind of times.
[Dell Streak 7] aweskelo:
I recommend the Kindle Fire if you can wait.

If the 7 gets honeycomb yes, buy it - if it doesn't, do not buy.
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
Odd, I've done nothing special. Haven't removed any of the silly stock apps, stock ROM, using a custom kernel but it didn't change battery life (added tun.ko). I went back and forth with airplane mode, phone apk's removed, and no change in either regard and didn't see much difference there either, but I've since left it in airplane mode.
[Dell Streak 7] jydie:
How did you remove the phone.apk? I noticed that the cell standby uses up the most battery on my Streak 7. I would like to remove that if possible... or at least prevent it from running.
[Dell Streak 7] walklong:
I've got mine in plane mode to stop cell standby and the wifi on and off as needed. I usually get through a workday using up about 60% battery.

I love the form and the speed. I wear a cargo vest on my job maintaing apartments, the streak, in an Otterbox Defender, rides in a front pocket. I use Evernote to docume
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
It's a nonsense number, as I said in my post, it made very little difference. If you're convinced you need to do it, just put it in airplane mode... You can turn on wifi etc with airplane on.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] al mon:
I am hoping someone can help.

Xoom, 3.2 rooted. I use Opera Mobile as the default browser.

Right now, when I click on any URLs in an email, the Xoom grays out the screen but doesn't open any browser to the URL like it used to. Normally, if you have 2 browser, Android asks which one you want to open it with. Now it does nothing but dims the screen as if it was trying to bring up the dialog but it never does.

Does anyone know how to solve this?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] HuckFinn:
This is a well known and well documented bug in 3.2.

The simple solution is to make sure auto-rotation is enabled and then rotate your Xoom from landscape to portrait and back. The app chooser will come up and you will be able to choose which app to use to open the link. This will fix it for sometime but it will happen again and just do the same thing.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mquinn24:
The last few days have been very slow in this forum. I hope people are just satisfied with the phone and are not posting. I guess I'm just spoiled by the Evo 4g forum where you always had something new to read.

Starting to worry.
[Motorola Photon 4G] darktranquility18:
Not even one thread has reached a 1000 posts yet. Its pretty sad. I know people keep saying good things will come, but I lost hope a while ago. Not trolling. I know everyone does this development stuff during their free time
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
For me - I love the phone. Only thing I'd change would be placement of the USB port relative to the kickstand.

I've rooted it to remove bloatware, but don't know that there's anything that I want it do to that requires a custom ROM. Customizations, yes - but launchers, widgets and apps can do what I want.

I was in the same place with my EVO 3D. Stock was fine.

ROMs were necessary in the WinMo days (and perhaps the early Android days, though I missed those). I spent a LOT of time cooking kitchens for my WinMo phones.

There will always be people who like to cook ROMs as a hobby, but I knew that the Moto Photon would NOT be one of the target platform for them - will be mostly HTC phones, I imagine.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
Well unlike my evo shift I'm happy with the phone the way it is. The evo shift was boring unless rooted and running a custom rom.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mquinn24:
I love this phone and i'm satisfied with just root. Best phone I've ever owned. It just seems like there were a lot more people in this forum last month.
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
It was brand new then :)

The inferior Samsung is the new shiny.

I also spent more time here and AC a month ago, but really don't have much more to say, or problems that need solved. I'm spending my time now customizing it and try out new apps.

Enjoy it!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jess813:
Love this phone but its too complicated to unlock boot loader and such so people lost interest in the forums, not the phone in my opinion. I came from the Nexus S 4G and don't see a reason to lose 4g for a rom its great as it is running launcher pro. Just my 2 cents.

Sent from the best MoPho
[Motorola Photon 4G] darktranquility18:
Yea I don't think the epic touch is inferior at all. The exynos kills tegra. Everyone knows that
[Motorola Photon 4G] phatmanxxl:
Photon was a great phone, its great with root alone. I now got the sgs2 and gave the MoPho to my gf. She loves it coming from an HTC Aria. I was too nervous to unlock the bootloader, I tried but it looked too risky. I was pretty much satisfied with stock and my own build prop tweaks, there was no need to unlock. I do recommend to phone to people who aren't as tech savvy for just being a good dependable fast phone.

The sgs2 is no way inferior to the photon, every day use they run about the same, the photon does have better battery life and video recording, the sgs2 has a bigger screen and an unlocked bootloader.
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
CPU is only one component in comparing phones, and IMHO not in the top 3 criteria. Screen, battery, radio signal, construction quality, vendor support all more important than minor (in the real world) CPU differences.

I won't get into any more bashing - will just say glad you like your phone; enjoy it!
[Motorola Photon 4G] ianford10:
I think my Photon is the best Android phone i've ever owned and I've had a few over the past couple of months, including the SGSII. The SGSII is a great phone but just too thin for me, so when on a flat surface my manley fingers couldn't quite grasp it right and i ended up dropping it. The Photon just feels perfect, build quality is great, just ticks all the boxes for me and I'm gonna stick with it for a while :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I know it may seem to be kinda hard, but unlocking the bootloader is actually fairly easy if you follow the steps on breifmobile. I have a link I think if someone is looking to unlock the bootloader.
[Motorola Photon 4G] darktranquility18:
But you lose 4G
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Makes no difference to me. I don't live in a 4G area. :]
[Motorola Photon 4G] ianford10:
Same :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sidewinder7:
Phone is great out of the box, not much to complain about on forums nor are people in a rush to slap a ROM on it like they would need to so their Samsung works correctly.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jfdebo779:
I came from the tmobile vibrant. At one point I had a choice of 65 custom roms and 11 kernels. I wanted unlimited data and more minutes and sprint was the only choice. I got the epic but took it back the day this phone dropped on the market. I like htc but 3d had some drawbacks. Mainly signal quality. I would like more roms, but mainly overclock kernels. I am learning to make my own themes and that will probably satisfy me. I hope development picks up, but if it doesn't I won't be upset. This is a wonderful phone and works right out of the box. I don't get 4g on my end of town and probably never will, and I could really care less.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mquinn24:
It's good to see people are still here and they are satisfied with their phones. This is probably the best phone Sprint has to offer right now. It sucks that it was released sandwiched between the 3vo and sgsII.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
why does no one listen to me? :( i said weeks ago that what we had was the best this community was gunna get, with the release of the et4g i knew this place with die down a bit.. its unfortunate but thats the way it is. perhaps the next moto phone that sprint gets (tegra 3 plz :) ) will get some attention, instead of sprint getting another phone months later (they did it with the nexus s 4g, photon and if the rumors are true it will happen with the next nexus)
[Motorola Photon 4G] darktranquility18:
Haha unfortunately I get full signal in my area :/
[Motorola Photon 4G] reddragon72:
I would be here more but I have tons of work at work that spills over into my off time and I am learning to program so no time to come here and dilly dally. Also I use my phone so much that I don't load up ROM's to much. And when I had the Vibrant I only ever loaded two other ROM's because loading a different rom every day wont allow you to "use" the phone for what it really is intended. And like others said OOB this phone rocks! First phone that has allowed me to hook a wiimote up to it and put it in the big screen :-) Vibrant never allowed that. then there is the 24+ hours of battery life with 2+hours of screen on time!! So no complaints there.

And for 4G with a custom rom there is a workaround. Root>Unlock>install CWM>install ROM>backup rom>lock>install CWM>recover ROM via CWM and boom custom rom with 4G. It all in the dev section for the Alien rom :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] romantivist:
Personally, I had the photon for a few days, switched to the epic touch, and actually traded back to a Photon night before last. I really think this is the better phone. Better signal strength, better ui (in my opinion), better build quality, and a certain heft and thickness that I appreciate. The touch was so thin and light it was toylike...it kept sliding places phones shouldn't slide, like between the console and car seat, or behind the picture frame I was trying to level.

Also alarming to me was Samsung's silence on the LOS and battery drain bugs that are plaguing the phone. I remembered Samsung's reputation for timely updates. There was a time when I could place faith in the dev community here to resolve any bugs that came up regardless of whether the manufacturer did anything. However it seems like a lot of the 'devs' these days are simply cutting and pasting the work of others and cobbling together hackjobs..they seem to barely know more about the phones than I do, and and I'm no dev. I put faith in Steve Kondik in the early days in my g1 and nexus, but it just doesn't seem like there are a whole lot of dev who are as capable as he was these days.

I'd much rather have a phone that I love stock, than to rely on aftermarket improvements and mods that are unreliable. The photon works beautifully out of the box and I've not experienced the kind of bugs that ruined my Epic Touch experience.

That's my 2 cents. I'll be in this forum for a while, and I suspect that many other epic touch users will soon be joining me here.
[Motorola Photon 4G] phatmanxxl:
My Samsung works correctly stock rooted, I am in no rush to slap a ROM on it until ASOP is out for it. I do get the no signal bug once in a while, sprint and Samsung are aware, so im sure they'll will push an update eventually. Evey smart phone has bugs after launch. E3d, photon did too.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jorjitoc:
+1 - Exactly - Phone came out of the chute with latest Android version, not a lot of bloatware, and it runs well. From the HTC Touch Pro to the TP2 to the Evo there were crappy OS's (WinMo 6.1) to Android 2.1 on the EVO where we knew 2.2 and then 2.3 were coming, bad battery life, etc. so people wanted custom ROMs. They just aren't needed on the Photon and probably most new phones now. Android is pretty stable and mature at this point. I personally like to look for new apps or themes, maybe factory updates and comments on them but I think the phone runs great and there just isn't that much to change. In my opinion light activity here doesn't have to mean there's no interest in the phone - it could also mean that people are satisfied with their Photons and are just using them rather than constantly tweaking them. That's my take anyway.
[Motorola Photon 4G] foxsdaddy67:
after owning a moment and a evo shift this phone is a definite upgrade from even the shift. the moment was a stinking pile of samsung crap. i'll never own a samsung again
[Motorola Photon 4G] dcowboys2184:
I'm not buying Samsung again I can care less if the phone had a time machine built in.. Knowing Samsung I might get get stuck in mid travel random warping myself .. so photon all the way
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
Yes - very well said. With WinMo, I spent all my time finding pieces and solutions from various places and cooking kitchens. As a result, I never felt I had a stable & functional phone I could just use and enjoy. I should have abandoned WinMo a year earlier .....

My first 3 Android phones (EVO 4G, EVO 3D and Photon) this year (starting late Feb - as I said, I missed the early Android days) really didn't / don't need new ROMs - stock with customizations suffices.

---------- Post added at 09:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------

Got back to the US tonight, and stopped by a Sprint store just to confirm my impressions of the Samsung gathered from you all, other boards, etc.

Its colors were certainly more saturated - like you can do by setting your digital camera on 'vivid' mode. Not technically correct colors, but certainly did pop!

Photon screen is brighter and more accurate. Samsung resolution was an immediate show-stopper to me - everything just too big and not enough info fit on the screen. Also felt plastic and cheap. And held my Photon and Sprint's Samsung side by side and tried some bandwidth tests - Photon brought up Internet content first 75% of the time.

Samsung not as big as I thought - size difference not an issue, though Photon felt better in my hand.

So I'm happy with the Photon - now, if Samsung had put a higher-res screen on it and better quality plastic on the back, maybe a different answer. But the resolution alone made it a very simple and quick evaluation for me at least. But, my mother and wife would probably prefer the saturated colors and larger icons and text.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
From what I could find via crappy internet rumors was Motorola's next phone would be the Admiral. And that is pretty much a blackberry with Android OS. Pass. Stick with my Photon. And the two devs I have asked questions of Meinhart and Shabby were super cool and helped me out. So that is good enough for me. Rather small and helpful than large and unhelpful asshats.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sapperpipo:
I had the epic then moved onto the photon and started a new line so I could keep both,,, love the photon and yes I too believe the photon is fine rooted plus its only been out a short while and the devs are hard at work getting things going for it,,,, but for a stock rom just add root and wifi tether there's not too much else needed it comes with an impressive array of cool ****, the photon is just a bad ass phone right out of the box...
[Acer Iconia A500] spazmodik:
Is there anyway to get the clock from the Virtuous Galaxy Rom onto other roms?

I really like its simplicity and it goes with the rest of my widgets (Palmary Weather etc ..)

Help would be much appreciated !
