[HTC EVO 3D] :
I believe MIUI is closed source AOSP.

[HTC EVO 3D] waltibaba:
That's not true, sense vs. AOSP is personal preference. Qualcomm vs Samsung always depends, usually Samsung has the better GPU, qualcomm the better cpu. The best superphone available is unquestionably the galaxy note. Best cpu, gpu, screen (size & res & quality), etc.

I had regrets when I got my Evo last week, because it was a branded version (I wasn't told that) and therefore you can't downgrade the hboot and S-Off. However today I found a fix, and have started loving it with Ganii's amazing AOSP ICS. It still has bugs (camera, BT ...) but nothing essential so its my new daily, and it's blazingly fast!

Ganii has a working MIUI build:

I wanted the dual core, the speed and the Ram, everything else I figured I could get from a ROM. AOSP is my preference.

I have yet to turn on the 3D switch or use anything for 3D, just didn't appeal to me.
[HTC EVO 3D] efan3719:
would like to have the s off so i rom a little easier. but other than that i an very satisfied and impressed with the the devs have been able to do. and even before taking the plunge i was more than happy with the out of the box 3D. when it gets ICS i will be even more happy. it's a solid phone with great specs. have had no problems with it that arent found on every other sense phone or something caused by the rom i was using.
[HTC EVO 3D] Wakawaka024:
I finally got mine yesterday.... 1.3 h boot... All set s off and rooted. Im running fresh, any suggestions on a ocd kernel?
[HTC EVO 3D] Wakawaka024:
The phone is fast loving it, don't know if I'll use the 3d but, it's pretty bad ass.
[HTC EVO 3D] HKP7:
Could not be happier with my phone especially after rooting and flashing ViperRom Redline. I nearly fell off my chair the next day when at midnight I still had 80% battery after 15hrs off the charger. Granted I only had a few calls and a little surfing on the web but I would have been in the 30’s with the stock rom.
[HTC EVO 3D] Staked:
I've had my Evo 3D for a week or so now and I'm loving it. It came with Hboot 1.5 so getting it rooted took slightly more work than I expected, but other than that it has been all sunshine and roses for me. Course I was coming from a Samsung Moment which was really, really showing it's age by the time I upgraded. :-P

My favorite times were during the touch pro era... the good ol days. As someone mentioned a few post back, smart phones arent as fun anymore.

Can you enter flash mode? Does the phone turn on at all? Did you follow the warnings before unlocking your bootloader? Have a look at this and see if your phones bootloader can be unlocked http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1436924

Wow, bricking became more day by day...
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meraklis56:
No,it doesn't open at all...It's like no power in it,it is completely closed,not even the led turns on!I followed all the instructions...I've done it many many times before,this is the first time that happens
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meraklis56:
But how am i supposed to excuse that my phone is rooted and all??Technicals of SE will find that out,won't they?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmonkeys:
Your phone maybe be hardbricked. Have you got a webcam? I could try fix it from where i live. I think your battery died. This could in turn hardbricked your phone. Have you unlocked the bootloader before or was this your first time?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meraklis56:
Yes i have!Can you really do that??It is not the battery,i checked it..i used a friend's x8 battery and still the same...
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmonkeys:
I really do think its harbricked! I have 2 questions for you. Does your computer recognize your phone when you connect it to your computer? This is taken from nelikp: Check Manufactoring date/code (behind batery)

11W29 above U better stay away and stop dreamming (i got 4 times hard bricked on 11W38)

11W28 below U can proceed and again I am not Responsible if it BRICK YOUR PHONE!!!!

Check to see if your bootloader can be unlocked?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meraklis56:
No,it doesn't...nothing at all!!!unfortunately 11W49...The only check i did was to see about the "XXXX SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE" and the XXXX was SEMC...:/
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NIMBAH:
Nope when your phones hardbricked its completely dead, all they can do is change the motherboard. So basically they cant even turn it on to check to se if its rooted etc. There are many people on here that have used the charging exuse to get SE to fix their hardbricked X8.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alinuredini:
Xperia X8 totally dead

Yea thats what happened to me too, the phone wasn't turning on, the computer couldn't recognize it, it wouldn't charge.. But i sent it at SE.. Everybody wish me luck ^_^ :)

Oh,many many thanks man!!!I hope it will work
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmonkeys:
NO you can restore a hardbricked phone not by replacing the motherboard well you could but you dont have to. Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujH_IpsskLg. There is guys that will do this for a fee. It wont cost that much not as much as replacing a motherboard lol!

Hit the thanks button!

---------- Post added at 05:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------

You obviously jumped straight into unlocking your bootloader without reading any of the warnings. Your bootloader cant be unlocked! Thats why you have hardbricked your phone. Goodluck with unbricking your phone. I would be able to do it for you but the postage will cost too much. I have seen guys that will give you free postage to them. They will do it for about 20dollars. If you need the link i will look for it?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meraklis56:
I got it back and they gave me a brand-new x8 without even asking!I got lucky,thanks for helping me guys..

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dreamsongs:
I use the navigation feature a lot. I also listen to audiobooks or music as I use the Navigation feature.

My OG Droid would pause media playback (regardless if it was Sirius, Audible, Rhapsody or Music player) while giving Driving Directions.

My new Bionic just "Talks" over whatever media is playing.

Is there a setting for pausing media playback so that driving directions can be heard and understood?

Also, there used to be a separate volume control on the OG Droid for navigation volume. On the bionic I can not find it. Are we stuck with the media volume controlling both music and navigation volume at the same time? The music is sometime too loud, and the Navigation "voice" too soft.

I have installed the Volume Control App. I had that app on the OG Droid as well. The Navigation volume on the OG Droid would only show up when using the volume button when the navigation app was active.

Also, while on the topic of Volume: When using bluetooth, and activating Voice Commands, the "Voice" blows out my ears drums. It is way too loud. I can not adjust the volume or find any setting for Voice Commands. Any Ideas?

Thanks!
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
So I called T-Mobile and got approved for an early upgrade since i've been a customer since 2004.

The only thing is I found out they no longer bill in a 3 month cycle but make you pay upfront for the phone.

I'm looking at the Galaxy S2 and I don't have $300 upfront to pay for the damn thing. :mad:
[Vibrant General] chw2006:
You might as well just say screw T-Mobile and buy one off eBay for $150-$200 more lol.
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
Thats what i've said..

Only good thing about getting it through T-Mobile is the warranty.

They should retain that billing feature for good customers...I've been with them since 2004.... am I really going to bail on them over a phone? Stupid...

Literally paying 300 is almost 3/4 of my paycheck... I mean yea right... I'm not right. I'll just use my Galaxy S... Thing works fine anyways.
[Vibrant General] jamesd86:
Or you can get one off craigslist for 300 with no contract like I did.
[Vibrant General] javacody:
I agree. The payment thing was great for them. It made people MORE likely to jump into a new phone and extend their contract. Pretty stupid business decision on their part.

But they've been going downhill for a while.

I'm thinking that its about time for this business model to die anyway. I hate being tied to a carrier, and I want a phone that actually gets upgrades.
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
The only thing that made the 2 yr. upgrade worth it was the fact that the phone was automatically cut in half. $600 retail, down to $250. They simply early upgraded me for being a customer since 2004... so cool..

But what I don't have is $300 to spare on a phone... or if I decide I don't want to be tied to a carrier (which doesn't matter because I can't use a T-Mobile phone or Verizon or on ATT 3g band)

I thought it was very convenient to go into the store, have to pay around $80 upfront, then have the remaining balance split up over a 3 month period... so people who don't have excess money to spend that often can go ahead and get an upgrade every so often..

In either case, this has just made me double think, and I will keep my Vibrant probably for another year or two now. Nothing wrong with it, could use better battery life though.
[Vibrant General] rakeshchn:
I am going to wait for if and when GS2 will show up for free with an eligible upgrade on Amazon or Wirefly. Get the 1800 mah epic touch battery for the time being if you are concerned about battery life.
[Vibrant General] Lamchops3:
So save $100 each month and after 3 months you can pay up front for it? I don't see what the big deal is.
[Vibrant General] chw2006:
Craigslist has SGSIIs for $300? O.o

You must live in a nice place.
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
In my area I see them for about $350-500. So yes, they are going for around $300 on craigs.

Any any case, what does the price of this phone have to do with the topix of tmobile no longer billing monthly for phone upgrades?
[Vibrant General] jamesd86:
OP was complaining about them not splitting the price of the phone up and I mentioned that for 300 he could get an sgs2 off contract. Dude you quoted was just surprised you could find them that cheap I guess.
[Vibrant General] rakishaj:
I have a business account and whenever I purchase a phone they just add it to my bill. I don't have to pay upfront.
[Vibrant General] amb13n:
I made the same decision except I might go for the sgs3. I bought the 1800 mah Anker battery on Amazon (sorry, my links are still disabled) and I'm really happy with it. I get about 20 hours moderate use running ics passion v12 at 1000 MHz on conservative.
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
20hours? Hmm I get like 2 days if I really stretch it. I also don't use my phone excessively or for games often.
[Vibrant General] mask_of_fear:

[Vibrant General] nomadrider123:
Trying to get your post count up?:p
[Vibrant General] Nullnvoyd:
Would be nice if they brought back the 3 month billing split for New equipment. It made it nice and easy to split it across three billing cycles...
[Vibrant General] ruhrohs:
Yes!

LOL!!

Back to the OP, I'm annoyed that TMo didn't offer the SGS2 to me for $100. They were running a special on "new customers" only, but wanted to charge me $349 to "upgrade" my line. I've been with them for over 6 years and 5 lines on the account.

Goes to show how they take care of their existing customers. Glad I didn't upgrade my contract as I'm thinking of going to Verizon and getting the Galaxy Nexus as soon as one of my other line's contract is up.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stfudude:
SGS3 hardware specs that I'm looking forward to:

1- Exynos 5250.

2- Mali-T604 GPU.

3- 1 GB of RAM is enough.

4- HD Super AMOLED Plus.

5- Corning's Lotus Glass and Oleophobic coating. 4.3 inches screen should be enough.

6- On-screen buttons which double as LED notification (same like Galaxy Nexus)

7- 2500 mAh battery or close to Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX (3300 mAh). Please sacrifice the phone's thinness for this, please!

8- 12MP back camera with superb sensor and optics (superior than that of iPhone 4S or Nokia N8) and yes, camera button too. the camera should be able to record 1080p video at 30fps. DON'T YOU DARE FORGET LED FLASH THIS TIME, SAMSUNG!

9- 2MP front facing camera should be enough.

10- elegant UI which doesn't appear too geeky or too childish. i don't mind if Samsung change UI aspects of Ice Cream Sandwich, as long as it's as gorgeous as stock AOSP.

11- Wolfson DAC (like in SGS1) with loud and clear loudspeaker, but without crackling sounds like Nokia's loudspeaker.

12- great call quality (without drop calls, etc) up to 16 hours (like Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX)

13- maintaining plastic build all around but with a very high quality and premium mix to it. (hint: something like Nokia N9, polycarbonate plastic)

14- 32GB of storage with microSD card slot.

15- HDMI port + cable (out of the box)

16- WiFi Direct

17- NFC

18- Accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass, barometer sensor.

19- Ultra smooth browser.

20- High quality headset with mic. source: http://www.talkandroid.com/86999-ja...dio-and-bundled-headphones-to-samsung-phones/ (removing the need for Voodoo sound)

21- comes with multiple colours and not just black. i still want to buy the black version. i just don't want others to have the same thing i have. =p

i hope samsung reps read my post then my make my dream come true. i don't mind paying $8xx for a phone that have all this features. *crossing my fingers*

Feel free to correct me if i ve got my facts wrng...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] disclaimernotice:
I would rather it have the regular plastic look of the S1 ans S2, because a unibody design is only going to raise the price of the phone simply for the sake of aesthetics.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] boliveira2:
I would rather that they made a phone worked right out of the box and never lied about fixing the problems later( gps anyone? ). Samsung I wish Apple sues your @ss so much that you have to go out of business forever!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] deadgamer:
I wish my SGS would instantly teleport me to the person I'm calling when he answers so we can talk directly instead.

Probably have the same changes of that happening as the SGS3 having all the things you want O.o

but seriously now, and edgeless display is all I ever wanted in a phone and that's all I still want now. Everything else is just a bonus.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Furry Atom:
Why would you want Bluetooth 4.0? BT4.0 is the ultra low energy variant of Bluetooth and with that comes ultra low range and ultra low speeds. You might want to look into a feature before deciding it is good based purely on the version number.

Other than that your list looks pretty good, if not a bit optimistic. I would be content with just having the same audio quality as the Galaxy S, if you're referring to the Wolfson DAC I mean.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xm11:
what memory internal of sgs3 ?

it look beterry more stronger then s2
[Galaxy S I9000 General] klmn1:
I want a battery that is light and powerful (no overnight charging!!)

Wouldn't a 720p front facing camera be enough?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hassaan123:
What about the screen size?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stfudude:
So bluetooth 4.0 is not that great? OK so I will exclude it from my wish list.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stfudude:
Yeah wolfson is the sh1t
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stfudude:
4.3" should be enough for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] playerzking:
I guess Sammy will do all these and come with 256Mb ram :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] _Robin_:
What about FM transmmiter and HDMI output ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] snapper.fishes:
Actually that list looks pretty reasonable (well may be except for the front facing camera).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MikeyMike01:
They need to do more than just put together a group of decent specs like the SGS II.

Things like UI, battery life, build quality, and so on are what really matter.

If the screen is over 4" I won't be interested either.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] nwsk:
Yea, I don't want the screen size to be too big... I'm buying a mobile phone, not a tablet!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stfudude:
i believe FM radio is standard feature, but i don't really need or want it. so i won't put it in my wish list. about HDMI output, hmmm, i forgot to put that. thanks for reminding. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stfudude:
screen size more than 4.3 inches is absolutely too big, but not really that close to being a tablet, no? either way i agree with you that screen size should not be as big as Galaxy Note. i have tried Galaxy Note a few weeks ago, it fits my pocket, but it's quite uncomfortable to be held with one hand. SGS2 on the other hand, is very comfortable to hold.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stfudude:
i edited the first post to remove 1080p video recording with front facing camera. it's more a gimmick than anything. lol

that's so 2000 lol
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stfudude:
i will settle down with SGS3 for two or three years before i start thinking of upgrading it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] _Robin_:
I thought about "transmitter", not receiver. Nokia N8 has it -you set frequency and then you can listen music through ex. car radio.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Nuukeer:
I clarify my wishes a bit: There should be 2 GB of RAM, the camera sensor should be a 1/2.3'' CMOS BSI (1/3.2'' in current mobile cameras), if the display is 720*1280 or 800*1280 it should be a full RGB matrix, if it happens (against the odds) to be 1080p, pentile will suffice. There should be image stabilisation (which is one of areas where GS2 failed to match iphone 4S). The GPU, Mali t604, should be able to outperform the SGX 543MP4 in the iPad 3, by some margin in most cases. I can't stress enough the importance of the Wolfson DAC however; it is quite crucial in my decision of buying this phone (my Galaxy S with Voodoo is lovely). The screen should be at least 4.6'' if there are no hardware buttons.

I might wait for the note 2 however, since I really like big screens.

---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------

Why in the world would anyone want a Tegra 3 over the 5250? The 5250 will be vastly superior in every aspect (except in power consumption, perhaps).

Edit: I see now that Nokia's latest thing's got a 1/1.2'' sensor, I don't expect the GS3 will be able to beat this. It would make the phone too fat, I think.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kany1991:
nd price would be below 25 k :p:p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dalton8:
I don't know why anyone would want a phone that doesn't have a bezel (only screen edge to edge) Your hand would always get in the way and smudge the edge of your screen, also, how would you ever get a nice case on that thing, can't see a nice otterbox or the like coming to it if it doesn't have a bezel.

I would wan't it to have hardware buttons, as on screen buttons would get annoying, or at the least burn into the screen (as is has happened with my galaxy s from 9 months in). If 720p i hope it is RGB.

I wouldn't mind a bigger screen, 4.6 max, probably.

With all that said, i would probably get the galaxy s3 regardless, as i know it will have an awesome aftermarket support of roms and the like :)

Correct, if you wish a huge display, you should take a tablet, that's why they created them.
