I'm not suffering buyer's remorse and

I don't understand the negativity going on in here.

My Vivid does not reset, bootloop, overheat, or show any sign of performance quirks. It is amazingly fast and responsive. It has been up for 102 hours without a restart and I've been using it heavily with a wide variety of apps and services.

This phone is more than capable if you take the time to set it up and load one of the finely tweaked roms.

As I recall reading , HTC is pushing ICS in April and I suspect we will see it exploited by the devs here even before the OTA's are completed.

To the dissatisfied owners- please make the decision to put your phones on ebay soon. My wife's Iphone is just begging to be kicked out of the house. :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] come at me bro:
I actually put my ubuntu back on the CPU, let's see if I can help the community before I give up on the vivid

Otherwise ill get a iphone or galaxy s2
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 4D3:
I have all of these...

I already put both of my Vivids up for sale and Im buying an Evo 3D...unless some miracle happens before i sell it!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jherbold:
"I already put both of my Vivids up for sale and Im buying an Evo 3D...unless some miracle happens before i sell it!"

I would ask then, in the spirit of fairness, to please stop bashing them. It is unfair to readers trying to get information about performance of this model.

The fact you never found the truffle does not mean it isn't there.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
its not the device...the kernel as well as android was flawed across the board...and htc kept using the same one when releasing all these devices...this has been fixed....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 4D3:
The model performs great..internet speed if fantastic, but S-Off limits everything...look in the EVO 3D thread...look at the choice, that is not bashing, that is matter of fact!

do you have a link to the kernel that fixes the issues?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ccb101:
Yeah install wild child's rom. No issues at all and blazing fast just make sure you flash his recovery because Yeh old one caused issues.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] robertmoore208:
Can a mod please purge this thread of all b.s.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
its not only the kernel...its partly the old recovery, its partly the kernel and its partly the android system itself....all three have been fixed man....lol:D:eek:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mobb315:
First of all soff isn't limiting anything. There r no different radios for the vivid yet. Second if u want a flawless rom use wcx Illuminati...smh. iPhone Cmon sheesh

All of this is moot anyway. At MWC HTC announced that ICS and a new version of sense will be coming to the vivid in the coming weeks, so no need to get all worked up over this.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
If the ONE series' Sense is Sense 4 (I'm pretty sure it is...), I'm really looking forward to it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jherbold:
Hey there now, just hold on a minute, I planted this seed first. :cool:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] watcherliu:
Any big hardware upgrade from Vivid to One?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jherbold:
Good decision.

WC offers a complete package. His touch recovery is the most stable. Both of the other recoveries had caused me problems of varying sorts from inability to complete a backup to flat out refusing to run.

One thing to be aware of is Titanium Backup can't extract anything from the touch recovery backups, so plan ahead and don't get caught with that expectation, if you are used to using Titanium.

You will want to spend quite a bit of time and effort preparing for the installation. Back up ALL your data/files/pics/music/messages/mail etc from both the internal and external SD's to your PC.. You will format them during the installation. Your phone will be just like it left the factory, only working properly.

For a totally clean first install, plan to reload all your apps directly from the market or their original source.

The boot.img is included in the rom zip file. You will need to extract it using 7zip or something like it.

When you flash the recovery and boot img, do it directly from fastboot. Do not use the flashgui or other shortcuts.

Follow the steps in WC's installation guide exactly, and in order. Don't skip any steps. It is located near the end of the OP of the 3.5 thread and is an attached file - “Flashing Instructions READ FIRST.zip”

When you have completed the install, you won't recognize your phone. And my wife will be stuck with her iphone a bit longer. :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] KCutrer1:
It depends. One is the series, not any phone in particular. The One X, the flagship of the bunch, is going to be exclusive to AT&T in the United States. The international one has a quad core Tegra 3, whereas the US version for the sake of LTE has a dual core Snapdragon S4. This may seem like a downgrade, but the new Krait architecture in the S4 has proven to be about comparable to the Tegra 3 in CPU tasks. Only place it seems to lag behind is in the GPU, which for me personally is not that big a deal.

---------- Post added at 08:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 AM ----------

It is Sense 4 on the One series. It probably will be in for the Vivid's ICS update, but the press release didn't mention it specifically, so I didn't want to say it would have it for sure.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 4D3:
I have 2 Vivids, both same age, same OS etc, if you want them PM me and we can talk...

this is not true really, the sensation and sensation xe get ICS in March and the Rezound, vivid etc get is "Later this year"

still points to the fact I should have kept my sensation or purchased an EVO 3D!!

---------- Post added at 10:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 AM ----------

so i cant use titanium?

so i cant use titanium

TO ALL: apart from the amount of developers on the EVO 3D, is it a better handset?

Android 4.0 in the "coming weeks" by AT&T

Official announcement by AT&T

http://www.telstra.com.au/mobile-ph...rtphones/?red=/mobile/phones/smartphones.html

Telstra also says Late February/Early March, "coming weeks"
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
Assuming the comparison is to the flagship One X and One XL(US AT&T variant with LTE),

It comes with 4.7 inch Super LCD 2 at 720p

Processors that are slightly more than twice in processing power (Tegra 3 in the One X and Snapdragon Krait in the One XL)

These are the biggest and most important parts to a smart phone, so it does seem to be significant.

Some of the smaller upgrades...

One X comes with 32GB internal instead of 16GB (One XL looks to be 16GB)

Better camera sensors for faster shutter and image quality

About Titanium

Please read carefully. Titanium pro has a feature to extract directly from CWM nand backups. The touch recovery nand backups are not yet readable by Titanium. That is the only feature that you miss.

"Normal" backups and app restores by Titanium are completely useable.

The suggestion to download the apps from their source is to eliminate the urge to restore apps AND THEIR DATA from a backup. The apps should be fine, but their data has a possibility to cause minor issues.

Edit: For example, when I restore all apps from Titanium, I immediately get FC's from Google+ and a couple other apps. This is NOT the rom. If you reinstall apps fresh, you have no headaches at all. End Edit.

For 100% clean system, it is worth the time and effort.

Edit: I'm just jerking your chain about wanting your device. Besides, once you get this loaded, you won't want to part with it. End Edit.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] NIKKG:
Here is what I had the past 6 months, Iphone 4, Iphone 4S, Samsung SII (ATT), Samsung SII Skyrocket (ATT), Galaxy Note (International Version), Atrix 2, and now the Vivid. So far, with the right ROM, WCX Illuminati 3.5, this is probably the best phone for AT&T.

The Iphones were too puny and they get boring after awhile since you can’t tinker with it. The Skyrocket was a good phone but I didn’t like its low resolution. The Galaxy Note was cool but you felt like a total nerd walking around with it, it was just too noticeable and everyone made fun of it. Plus it was too hard to use with one hand due to its freakishly large size. The Atrix 2 was absolute garbage, worse Android phone I ever had.

Overall, I’ll hang on to the Vivid until the Galaxy SIII comes out in a month or two, that will be the phone to get.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] m0biusace:
In the past six months I have had the Inspire 4G, Atrix 4G, Infuse 4G, ATT SG2, Vivid, Skyrocket, and now I'm on the Atrix 2. What didn't you like about the Atrix 2? I find its stability and battery life refreshing, and it cost $97 less than the Vivid did!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Kraizk:
I never saw much of a reason to go from an ATRIX to an ATRIX 2. Personally ive contemplated going back to my ATRIX until ICS updates for the VIVID. Not having S-OFF has been a real let down, but it was a gamble we all took, if the developers couldn't do it or could not justify the time needed its hard to blame them...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pside15:
What exactly do you need S-off for? I keep seeing everyone complain about it but I can do everything I need to do without having it. Sure, I can't flash radios, but I flashed my Inspire countless times and never once did I flash a radio and never had an issue.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] KCutrer1:
I think S-Off also allows for flashing to be done completely on the phone. As it stands you cannot flash kernels through CWM, but rather have to use fastboot on your computer. With S-Off this limitation is lifted, if I understand correctly.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jayv81:
I have a Rogers branded factory unlocked EVO 3d in like new condition I'm looking to get rid of if your interested.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] NIKKG:
When I had it in December, the bootloader was locked and so no development, it only had 4 GB of usable space, it had issues with using a class 10 micro SD card, all my pictures were getting corrupted because of it. It also had issues with installed programs totally disappearing from the phone for no reason. Another problem was the constant restarts and lockups, it felt like Motorola rushed the phone out since it was so full of bugs. Also my screen had weird dark spots on it. I hope now that since Google bought out Motorola they can straighten that company out and have them put out some decent quality products.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 4D3:
Hi,

So in general, and apart from the 4G capability, is the Evo 3D a good alternative for the vivid?

Good to hear. I have a friend that uses one of your ROMs on his Amaze and likes it a lot.

---------- Post added at 08:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 AM ----------

You are right but it isn't something that I would get rid of the phone over. If I'm flashing a ROM I'm always next to a PC so the flashing through fastboot thing isn't an issue for me at all. In a way I'm actually happy we have to use fastboot. If we didn't I wouldn't know anything about how to use it but now I do.

yes. i am using vivid (but with 1.5G CPU and IPS) with s-on :o.

However, the ROM is leaked out by someone who has s-off phone. Unfortunately, we still dont know how he get s-off.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] come at me bro:
can you bring him/her to the forums??
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] watcherliu:
I am afraid not, as he are not good at English communication and he maybe have some reason to keep his own "S-off". Anyway, I also hope can make my raider/vivid s-off, but the true is that we can't do it right now.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 4D3:
can you act as translator?

thanks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] watcherliu:
No, sorry. Now there is some reason he would not share how he did it. And I have no direct impact on him, as we are in different city.

So that's all.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kozmikkick:
There seems to be a lot of crying about needing s-off. This is NOT true. What we need is the bootloader that comes with ics.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] come at me bro:
Which may or may not be a adb dump command , or at least to start
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ToyGUN:
RUU may be key

When I first got this phone I accidently flashed a Pyramid RUU, when I entered hboot mode it said pyramid at the top instead of holiday. Maybe this is similar to the way he got s-off by essentially downgrading the device to the Pyramid hboot and then using the existing tools to achieve it. Just a thought really.

The one I used to flash a pyramid RUU was flashing holicakes and then relocking the bootloader to install the korean RUU 911 vers for Pyramid. Luckily it didn't bootloop, but watch out.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] vhjc:
And how did you do to flash the pyramid RUU??? It should told you it was a wrong device or a wrong CID.

Did you use a goldcard?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] come at me bro:
And what device /carrier ruu is that
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ToyGUN:
I didn't use the goldcard. First run of ruu I forgot to relock the bootloader so it came back with unknown error. I relocked my phone and re-ran the ruu until it installed I used the SKT 911 RUU for Pyramid from the sensation forum. It may have been XE or XL sensation build though.

I couldn't run the ruu unless I already had the rom installed, some sort of glitch in the ruu read process.

I'll try to recreate the process tonight when I'm back home. Maybe I can get a step-by-step going.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] vhjc:
And by any chance do you still have that RUU?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ToyGUN:
Good chance I still have it at home. I don't usually delete anything, just buy more harddrives. Just a matter of finding the files, but I did get it from football's post over in sensation forums. Maybe doing a search there you will be able to find it. If the vers number is the same (eg. 632, 666, 911, 502) usually you can use the ruu. I have a Rogers phone which had a 911 build and 632 build, so I used a 911 from SKT and it worked. Maybe if you have a vivid you can use an AT&T build for sensation.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] watcherliu:
I didn't get it. So did you make your vivid s-off when it was Pyramid hboot?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] KCutrer1:
I think he just changed the hboot, and is saying that maybe its possible to use the ruu to get an older hboot that's susceptible to existing s-off methods.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] watcherliu:
I agree with you.

But if that's unconfirmed, what we can do is still waiting for another way to make s-off.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] KCutrer1:
Yeah that's true too. But as previously stated, HTC said ics will be coming in the next few weeks, so we might not even need s-off to get ics.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] come at me bro:
That's not.why we want it if you want a flashy os get an itouch
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ToyGUN:
I couldn't get it to run again. I had a pyramid hboot before, but I haven't been able to get it back since. The link above is the ruu I have.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
BTW, I know it still doesn't lessen the anticipation for ICS, but you can already take away the "deathstar animation" and put in your own boot animation.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] htcvividnoob:
Does anyone know if this would install now that we have s-off? Or since it was a test build it wouldn't be safe to put on our phones?
