That is what I shall do from now on.

Plan of action

So whats the best plan of action here. I am available for my upgrade; should I go ahead and get another 2 year commitment with a 4G phone to ensure I am covered to have unlimited as I do now? I'm going on a wilderness trip where ill be disconnected from any type of computer or radio waves for that matter, for three weeks. If come back July 7th with no chance of an LTE unlimited use data plan I feel that I will go into a manic depression. Not quote that extensive but very upset.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jman42028:
It all depends really. With the new 4g lines they are getting 4gb of data. Do you use more than that? Personally I don't. I'm usually around 1gb cuz I'm on WiFi most of the time. The whole thing about the contract is really up to you. I would highly recommend to not settle for a phone especially if you don't use much data to begin with. Personally I have been able to upgrade for a while but I'm loving my inc2 more and more with all the development happening for it. If I upgrade it will prolly be the inc 4g unless vzw gets a one x variant...but I don't have a problem waiting.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] hoodieNation:
Is say do it. Once you start using 4g your data use is going to go up. I don't even have 4g in my immediate area but still pre ordered the S3. It's the most future proof phone available on Verizon at the moment. And I do not want to lose my unlimited data. Even using wifi at home I still use a min of 2 gigs each month. I also have no plans on selling my Inc2 cuz this little thing is awesome. And I figure if the S3 ends up being too big or just not what I want I can just trade it or sell it easily. This is the last chance to get a phone at the discounted price, might as well take advantage of it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SR3TLAW:
Why would this be the last chane to get a discounted ddevice?

Sent from my Incredible 2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] hoodieNation:
Cuz Verizon will only offer the discount on phones if you sign a new contract with their new tiered data plans starting on the 28th of this month. You won't be able to upgrade at the discounted price and keep your unlimited data after then. And I'm not willing to give up my unlimited data yet.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] anubis2k3:
I just got the rezound and I'm loving it so far. although you may want to wait tell the dinc4g comes put. That should be nice. :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
As there is nothing available right now that gets my heart racing, I'll be keeping my DInc2 and unlimited data. When I finally want a phone I'll pay full market price and will continue to do it that way for good. The keeping of unlimited data will pay for the phone in just a few months.

What would make my mouth water as far as phones go? Realistically?

The DInc4G with a 4.3" screen, image sense, and good battery life. I'll pay 5-6 hundred for that. Or wait till I can buy a used one for less.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Linch89:
I just don't think its smart financially for me to get a new phone as soon as soon as it is released just to say hey look at my fancy new phone. (dinc4g gs3 etc) especially how far along ICS has come since the December. I'd rather have unlimited data
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] hoodieNation:
I'd rather wait for the next great HTC phone or grab the Razr HD than have the S3. I might just get it and keep it in the box till something I really want comes out and then sell it/trade it.

I ordered one for my wife too so I'll get to play with it before I open mine. And i got it for $150 so I'm not worried about getting my money back out of it. Hopefully I just like it, that'd be much easier lol.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dpoindexter:
Just out of curiosity how much data are you guys using a month? I was pretty bent out of shape because I feel better keeping my unlimited data, but even downloading ROMs and tethering I'm still below 2GB (barely). So to be safe if I decided to change to this new share everything plan, I'd have unlimited minutes, unlimited texting and 4GB (guessing I would do that to be safe) and tethering for $110/month plus all the fees as opposed to now I'm paying $130/month plus all the fees (I had to restore my phone to un-rooted stock because I thought I as going to have to send my inc2 back again and didn't get a chance to re-root it so I can remove 3G hotspot from my plan again). So really I lose unlimited data but if I'm not going over 2GB I'm at more of a risk with my job to go over on minutes than I am with data. So beside their greed I'm trying to decide if I am going to stay mad and jump ship or I'm going to realize I'm really not losing much and will probably pay a tad less in the long run. However, should I get a new job (awaiting offer), I will probably cut my minutes down again, re-root, remove tethering again and upgrade at full price - though I don't really want to fork out $600 for a new phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] david_hume:
That's why I plan to switch to Sprint (if Sprint doesn't follow the same route) when my contract with Verizon ends. Verizon has been giving good service and all, but their share everything plan is expensive and pretty inefficient if you like using your phone to surf the web, watch youtube videos, and download more ROMs. So now I'm counting the number of days until I finally leave Verizon for good.

Also, I have unlimited data for the droid incredible 2, but I usually use about 2GB or more. It also depends on when I use the WiFi at my place or where I am.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SR3TLAW:
I just have a real strong feeling if I have an LTE coming from 3G my data consumption is going to sky rocket because of the vast 4G network.

Sent from my Incredible 2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] david_hume:
Not to mention the speed that you get from the 4G LTE network, which is a lot faster than the 3G network speeds.

If only Verizon didn't unveil their share everything plan...

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
I maybe wrong but the share plan are for those who want unlimited text and calling? It wouldn't affect those that don't. I could be wrong though.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
I twill affect anyone who signs a new contract or upgrades that currently has unlimited data. No more unlimited data, period; if you sign a contract/upgrade.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
I'm lucky enough to be able to use wifi mostly. I mostly average 500mb a month. I'm sure it depends on everyone's situation, especially with wifi hotspot. I don't care for it either getting rid of unlimited data.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 420fan:
Unfortunately, unlimited data is a feature, not part of your contract, so even if you buy your phone outright, Verizon can/will at some point take it away. I was on the phone for almost an hour with the Northwest Customer service manager, and the way she explained it, Unlimited Data is not part of the contract, it's a feature, so they can revoke it at any time. Your contract is only for the price you pay each month for the phone/text services. It's such a load of BS!!!!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Tarpit_Carnivore:
Verizon released a statement saying that if you buy your phone outright you can keep unlimited data. I've posted this multiple times while FUD was flying around. http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/17/verizon-clarifies-shared-data-plans/

Verizon’s e-mailed statement, in full:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 420fan:
Your absolutely right, but Verizon CAN take it away if they want. I didn't say they would, but the contract you signed isn't about features. Unlimited data is a feature. They have no plans at the moment, but mark my words, those greedy bastards will take it away at some point.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Tarpit_Carnivore:
They cannot just take it away. I was once on a family share plan that hadn't been offered in three years and they never said anything until I went in to upgrade my phone. They will only make changes when you renew your contract. Now if they did what cable companies do all the time - just change the price on existing plans - then yes they will "take it away".

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HaiKaiDo:
does anyone know if its possible to swap the location of the navigation buttons and the popup menu? Like making the navigation buttons on the right and the popup menu on the left? I dont see anything about this anywhere, but im curious if its possible.

Its in the Framework somewhere. Perhaps I might try to bug hashcode? lol
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
The navigation buttons aren't part of Trebuchet. Changing their configuration is most likely out of the scope of your abilities, unless you're good at coding.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HaiKaiDo:
Well its actually part of the framework. Theres not really "coding" to be done. It would be more of finding things and swapping their values more than likely. But yeah ive done a few things, Ive ported a sense rom to the Nexus s 4G and helped fix a few things in cm7 for the Epic 4G touch, so im not totally retarded i just wanted to ask and see if anyone had ventured into this yet.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Forgive my assumptions but your original thread title made it seem like a "dumbed down" answer was necessary.

You still have to have somewhat of an understanding of Java but if you are up to it so be it. There are a few Kindle Fire roms on github where you can get full uncompiled frameworks files for editing/research/whatever. Or if you want to go through the process of decompiling/editing/recompiling, you could do that as well. But I'm sure you know that already.

[Edit:] As for an answer to your question, I haven't seen anyone here messing with the placement of the status/nav bar items, only editing the graphics.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evangelion01:
So, they've spent a few thousand dollars to promote their extremely limited service? What's that going to do? I'll bet that a good chunk of the people who are able to officially use Google Wallet are probably already using it. Instead of doing promotions, work harder on removing the damn limitations, aye Google? This service will never take off until Google puts all of its energy into removing the many barriers to use of Wallet.

Not to mention that they can't even get their product placement right - what kind of fake version of Google Wallet is that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrianDigital:
I got an email for Google saying that it had been expanded to five devices
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evangelion01:
That expansion includes the Nexus that's sold in the Play Store and Sprint's Nexus, so it's almost like the same device. The other two are some LG devices that seem otherwise uninteresting.

Even if it were really expanded to five devices, that wouldn't be enough. The service is still only available in the USA where even chip and pin hasn't taken off. The UK, and Europe in general, would be much more accepting of Google Wallet. Networks aren't as involved in what is on a phone over here, and we're open to all sorts of new payment methods.

Not to mention that the Olympics will be here in London in two months time - a perfect opportunity to show the capability of Google Wallet on a truly global scale.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androidtoy09:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wilsonium:
I saw it too...

And while it's available on 5 devices now it's not going to really take off until people can link their existing credit/debit cards to the system. I've found that I can use it quite often at checkout but until they allow more credit/debit cards I'm dealing with the PITA prepaid stuff... hate that. Now when I can use my AmEx with Google Wallet... I'll be happy.

Google really does need to get off their duffs here. ISIS can be seen on the horizon and if Apple includes it in the iPhone 5 they'll be redefining the standard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evangelion01:
If Apple chooses to introduce NFC payments with the iPhone 5, then the game is pretty much over for Google Wallet.

Apple supposedly have 250 million users who have entered their card details into iTunes. Any new iPhone model is pretty much guaranteed to sell 20 million units in its first quarter on sale. If 5% of that uses Apple's NFC solution, it will surely be much more than what Google currently have, due to their horribly limited user requirements.

Worst of all, Apple has huge amounts of capital. Huge amounts. What if they decided to use some sort of proprietary NFC solution? They could very well offer the new proprietary terminals for free to retailers around the world.

I'm worried for Google Wallet. It's a great product, but Google's painfully slow development suggests that the future isn't bright for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mr mystery:
Really the only thing Google truly cares about is if you continue to search Google from their devices, and ad placements. Google wallet is just something they are playing around with.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evangelion01:
For now, yes. The vast majority of Google's revenue still comes from search adverts apparently. But they know that they need multiple revenue streams, and Google Wallet would be a great way to increase advert sales, as they'd be able to see what we buy and deliver relevant deals from retailers.

Perhaps it seems impossible now, but Google might not be the kings of search forever. Nokia once had around 70% global smartphone marketshare. They've proven that even giants can fall in just a few years.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmtalon:
There are quite a few places around here that have PayPass (just outside of Cincinnati ).

CVS, Walgreens, some Shell's, MacDonald's, Home Depot.

Biggest thing stopping me from using it more is not being able to attach it to my existing CC or Check Card. I'm not going to get a citibank card just for Google Wallet.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wilsonium:
You don't think that all that transactional detail isn't important? This could be a good thing for google to have access to search results and purchasing habits when serving up ads and offers.

For me it's Jack in the Box, Home Depot, CVS, Rite Aid, McDonalds, Whole Foods, 7-11, American Eagle, Macy's and a few gas stations by the freeway. There's a Mastercard PayPass locator in the Play Store... I've found it to be fairly useful for finding nearby businesses.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M3drvr:
How about expanding into canada at least. Everyone has chip cards and debit cards. No one uses cash. Where I live every place has pay pass. And I live out in the middle of no where! When I go back home to the city every place still has pay pass. Seriously, would be nice if it got expanded into other countries at least! Why limit it to just USA?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bauxite:
You managed to lock out your secure element, probably through switching roms.. you need a new phone to fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killyouridols:
Awww...the UK sucks. By the time wallet gets here I'm sure it will already be fatally flawed. Only a handful of places even accept the cards, let alone walking into McDonalds and trying to pay for a big Mac with the back of a phone. 1 star Wayne behind the till would have a fit!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waylo:
Also, in case you watched the episode, the take home message I got was: use Google wallet on a Sprint Gnex and die a horrible death within minutes?!

Haha, still, I wouldn't really want my product associated with the guy who dies immediately.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dewey1973:
I am running CM9 alpha 3 and I'm absolutly loving it. It's great ot be able to get audio through the car dock with no extra installs. I also found Car Dock Settings that allows for automatic volume maximization on docking like Galaxy Dock Sound Redirector does for custom kernels.

I also have the Multimedia Desktop Dock for my desk and unfortunately I haven't been able to get sound out of the 3.5mm plug. Does anyone know if that is possible and how to make it happen?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sociojeje:
I'm also having the same issue though i'm not a epic 4g user. does car-docking direct you to different screen like car mode? as you know, media dock directs you to desk clock. I'm trying to merge those two dock options into car-dock as a temporary solution. does cm9 has car mode? i don't have a car dock but only media dock
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dewey1973:
It has car mode because it shows the steering wheel icon in the notification bar but it doesn't take you to a dock app. I don't like the car dock apps so I'm actually fine with that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sociojeje:
well then pretty much the solution would be merging desk dock mode into car mode so that it recognizes it as car dock temporarily. Thanks for your answer I was trying to know it before I really spend my time to fix it. Hopefully it works...

we could install kernels before,as long as we used a PC and launched recovery from fastboot. i guess its cool we can do it from a permanent installed recovery now without a PC,but its not that big a deal to me. ive always hooked my phone to the puter when i wanted to flash a new rom.

my favorite thing is being able to flash whole leaks without fear of beeing stuck there,and the ability to bounce around between firmwares. :cool:

my second favorite thing is that my bootloader stays unlocked. i no longer have to relock to run ruus,and afterward i dont need to re-unlock or keep installing patched hboots to use a few fastboot commands. this is different than my other s-off htcdev phones where the unlocked hboot would be overwritten with a locked one during the ruu flash :eek:

*disclaimer: i have no factory warranty and dont care about my lock status being unlocked,or relocked. do not htcdev unlock after s off if you care about staying locked

thirdly,custom spalsh screens are fun :D
