[T-Mobile LG G2x] kolyan:
I got One S at first and then switch to Gnex

both good phones and each has its own advantages. plus i got One S for free, sold it and bought Nexus....so it was free as well. G2x went to my wife.....I think its a solid phone as well.

AOKP with Franco kernel and you get endless customizing options.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SefEXE:
Well... I bit the bullet and bought it last night. Still holding on to my G2x for now, though.

Sidenote, this was my face after I confirmed the order.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
:Russian accent: Very good choice, very good.

But honestly, you wont regret
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cricketAC:
how did you grew whiskers after submitting the orders :O
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ridearoundsolo:
I got the one s and its working great just doesn't have as much games which is a bummer, but the phone itself is nice I'm waiting on rooting mine till development really picks up, I'm still gonna be checking the g2x forums because my dad has a g2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
How's the One S? Is the A15 architecture as good as everyone says, such as comparable to a quad A9?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nightf0x:
Looking from various benchmarks, I would say dual A15 is better than quad A9.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ridearoundsolo:
It's a good phone and sense 4.0 is nice but I cnt wait to get cm9 or aokp on it
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
Ugh, I give up trying to sell my G2x. Nobody wants to buy it, even thought it's in mint condition and comes with plenty of accessories. I'll just wait until I get paid again next Friday and order the Galaxy Nexus then. At least then I'll have a good backup phone :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Yeah no one's buying m G2x either... So I'm settled and put it up for 190, then finally got a buyer.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
Same here, sold for $190. You can't expect to to get too much from it. :/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
I started at $190 and got one guy who backed out, and no offers since then. Not even any lowballers, which surprised me.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] cricketAC:
OUCH... i paid 420$ for it brand new just last july .. sigh =(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] painter_:
I ordered the Nexus the day the Google started selling it via the play store. I managed to sell my G2x for $225 in about a week. I really liked the G2x but the lack of ICS drivers from NVIDA and LG bothered me. I came from a Nexus S and the upgrades and full source from Google are the reason to have the Nexus.

The screen on the G2x was nicer in some aspects compared to the Nexus but they both have their strong points. With the Nexus I can see the screen in full sunlight, but the G2x the colors were warmer.

The one thing that really stands out (no offense to the G2x developers) is that everything just works. I get in my car the bluetooth connects, I have no data drops, no random reboots, no lockups, etc. CM9 on the Nexus problem free experience. With the G2x it was frustrating due to the lack of drivers and hacks needed to make ICS work on it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
My girlfriend bought me this last Christmas for like 210 so 190 is expected now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
Couldn't agree with you more. I did however, have a great experience with it running EaglesBlood v2.8. No bugs at all, so smooth, and the battery literally lasted me all day. Wish I could say the same about the Gnex. You win some you lose some I guess. :sigh:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Segnaro:
Sold mine on craigslist for $200 within 3 hours of posting it. Got it for $170 by refreshing newly listed items on eBay, so I can't complain. :cool:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kolyan:
I had MyTouch 4G and G2x listed for $190 and guy wanted MyTouch instead....so my wife uses G2x now. I notice how warm pink the screen is on G2x compared to Nexus. Customizing colors also helps in Nexus
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SefEXE:
Just got mine. Still gonna stick around here.

I feel a little more at home here. :p

It's nice though, I think I got one with a decent screen as well. If anything, maybe a little banding.

Edit: Actually, scratch the banding, but I do see a little ghosting.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
Go return it. I'm one my first Nexus and NO issues. People complain so much and make it seem like this phone is terrible.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP+Franco on Tapatalk 2
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SefEXE:
Yeah they definitely make the small issues sound like the plague, lol.

Then more people see the threads and get worried and paranoid over tiny things.

I'm going to keep it, but if for some reason it burns in... well, then I guess I'll have learned my lesson :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nitrogen618:
I'm thinking of the sensation or the nexus..

it's 50/50

The thing is that the Nexus have no SD card... ;(

The sensation is not HD like the Nexus, plus it has QC problem like dust under screen..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Wond3r:
Might be upgrading from an Atrix to a Raider in the next few days.

Any known issues with the Raider?

(like the Sensation's screen dust issue, etc.)

Biggest complaints?

What about this phone makes you recommend it? (..that is if you do even recommend it lol)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
Not really. The only thing I get on occasion is that my LCD's colors will randomly wash out for 5 minutes or so for no good reason. Still readable, but just washed out.

Development community is not exceptionally large and neither AOSP nor Sense 4 has been ported. Likewise, whatever carrier you're on probably has better phones on offer nowadays.

It's a fine phone, sure. But if you're in the market to get a phone now, you're much better off getting the One X( or the One XL if you need/want LTE connectivity). And of course, there is the forthcoming SGS3. (Read: I don't currently recommend this phone.)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Wond3r:
I notice the Android development section seems pretty small, even compared to the Atrix.

As far as better phones from my carrier- there are better ones but this would be buying from someone used for a great price. I am not trying to re-new my contract with my carrier right now
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] come at me bro:
It's a great device

Headphones might disconnect with any type of movements even a deep breath otherwise I'm happy with it
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
This device's dev section has been through its trials and tribulations. Coupled with some ham-fisted modding, I think it's not going to grow any larger than it is now.

I did not know that you were going to get the device second-hand. I was just under the presumption that you were going to walk into a store and pick up the device new, as I would not have been able to recommend this over a new A-grade offering.

In this case, it's a fine phone. Unlike my OG SGS, the phone holds a charge, has a beautiful UI, and I really didn't feel bad about not having root or S-Off. Sure, I rooted and S-Off-ed, but I didn't find it especially necessary. Even specwise, it's not far off of the current generation of devices, really only lacking due to the Snapdragon S3 (vs any of the other offerings of today) and the screen (at a "measly" qHD instead of 720p).

I haven't really had any problems besides the screen thing, nor have I had the headphone issue that come at me bro has.

My basic verdict is this: If you're a tinkerer/flashaholic, you might want to look at an SGS2 instead. If you like a phone that works right out of the box, look no further.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Wond3r:
I should have mentioned I would not be getting it brand new in the original post.

I had a SGS2 at the same time as my Atrix, I ended up selling it (great device though, also the resolution of the qhd of the atrix was nicer).

It seems like there isnt too much to complain about this phone.

Will it be getting ICS soon? I would look forward to that.

How about sense 3.5 (or at least just the amaze 3.5 camera) I dont want to flash one of these non-official ICS because I havent seen any for any device that is very stable and wont require me flashing every new version for it to be stable.

I do like to mod the phone but if like you mention the phone performs well without the need of a custom ROM, I would just keep the official ROM on it. I would like to root for titanium backup and setcpu control though.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
If you're talking Raider, I'm presuming you're either Canadian, European, or South Korean.

AFAIK, South Korea's ICS has been CANCELLED. As for Europe and Canada's, nobody has heard a peep from the carriers or HTC. Safe to say, no.

The "non-official ICS" builds you see here ARE official HTC ICS Sense 3.6 builds; they're just built for the identical Telstra Velocity or AT&T Vivid, which have the exact same internals and function interchangeably (LTE support included). Provided that you S-Off (which instantly and irrevocably voids the warranty, as you have to interact with the circuit board), it's very easy to put ICS on in fully functioning capability.

Sense 3.5 can be found in GB ROMs like HoliRaider, which only need your bootloader to be unlocked, and a recovery to be flashed.

Rooting is ezmode. Just HTCdev unlock your bootloader, flash a recovery, and use the zergrush exploit. Search the forums for anything you don't understand.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Wond3r:
Canadian.

Thanks a bunch for all the help.

I did not know S-OFF immediately voids the warranty. I guess if I do pick it up the first thing I can do is call HTC to see what warranty is remaining on it. If the warranty is up or just about finished than it wont make a difference.

Unlocking the bootloader does not void the warranty?

edit:

It looks like Nottach's ICS can be flashed even with s-on? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1586613&highlight=s-on
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
S-Off itself does not. The process to do it does, as you have to remove a panel on the back that is screwed in with a screw that has a "void" sticker on it. Of course, there are ways to circumnavigate that issue, but it's still pretty much void (they could probably tell if the screw has been used before; the black paint on it comes off really easily).

Unlocking the bootloader IIRC "limits" the amount of support that HTC can offer, but I don't think it voids the warranty outright. Might be wrong, though.

No, it can't, not for a phone other than a Telstra Velocity or AT&T Vivid. The essential thing to install ICS in the first place, is the HBOOT, which has to be ICS compatible. Other regions' Holidays don't have an updated HBOOT, and it cannot be flashed to a device from elsewhere without S-Off, as a RUU must match the model's CID. What S-Off allows you to do is to overwrite the CID with the "superCID", which then permits the flashing of any region's RUU, and the flashing of a new ICS HBOOT. At that point, then you're home free to install anything.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jirv311:
If I was currently in the market for a new phone, I would be waiting for the SGS 3's actual release so I could go hold one in my hand to see if it's as huge as it appears. Then I'd wait a week or so and see how the dev community is looking for it. If I hated the SGS 3 (which I'm guessing I will) then I'd go for the One X. Obviously, just my opinion.

I really do like my Vivid and the community support seems to be making a positive sweep, but there are little details of owning this phone that have me miffed. Nothing directly related to the phone itself, though.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] aaki_rocker:
just a heads up !!

at&t's onex's bootloader unlock is not supported by htc and as of now they say that it never will !!

htc doesn't take name for this and blames at&t for keeping the bootloader locked !

so an at&t htc onex (xl) is obviously not a developer's material !!

read more here : http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_talks_about_the_one_x_bootloader_at_t_is_to_blame-news-4211.php

and here : http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/05/att-htc-one-x-locked-bootloader/

this really sucks ! :mad:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jirv311:
Well, damn there you go. This is the same thing that happened with the Vivid after its release. The Vivid and the SGS2 were released "fairly" close to each other and most jumped ship from the Vivid once it was determined the BL was locked and went with the SGS 2. I guess the One X (or any other future HTC on AT&T) is most likely destined for dev abandonment from the beginning.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
This is why I plan to switch to Verizon at some point. Verizon has had LTE in both my area of residence and work for a while now. AT&T? Zippo.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ryan09266:
Just my input, I came from the inspire and bought this one outright. I wanted qHD and in my situation it will be awhile till my upgrade. Also I am still in return policy if the oneX is that much better. So far I love it (two weeks in). Screen is very nice, not sure how much better 720p will be. One very important observation is the roms I've used for the vivid so far are of very high quality, so not a lot, but quality over quantity I guess. I'm on darkraider now and I'm loving it, there's tons of customization built in. The word on the locked bootloader of the oneX has me thinking I'm gonna stick with the vivid. Also when it came to s-off I was very careful and got the sticker back on completely intact. I've never had an issue with an HTC phone so knock on wood I feel pretty safe with this one. Other than that battery life for me has been great, usually 50% at the end of the day with moderate usage, and it's very fast especially with ics, not overclocked. Overall I'm very happy with it and very sure I'm gonna keep it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jirv311:
I hear ya there. I've thought about Verizon mainly because my company would probably pick up the cost for me. :D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ycode90:
Mine will be here tomorrow. Also coming from Inspire. Got it 56$ shipped from Att (plus the 36$ upgrade fee that's added to my bill). I myself will never own anything but HTC.

MB525 runing

dinxin

?

lol thts an old signature didnt update it .. i am using lezo at the moment with some modifications in build.prop and with some moded cm7 apks
[Defy Android Development] tarunyad:
about gui ..launcher is litil chopy at the start after flashing the rom but with v6 super charger script u can c the difference its really ...really smooth..wiui .. hv theme support this dont have any such support and definetly wiui hv more customization ability ..but performance wise its really nice ..u can check the differences if u use any bench marking utility ..like quadrent or any ..but becoz u get more free ram to use i think makes the all difference (after all its linux :rolleyes: ).. launcher cache size is also very low ..launcher pro in wiui creates more cache size and is bigger in size as well .. but ofc u can always change launchers in any rom :) over n all it looks fine but performance wise really owning my mind :o sadly m abt to change it to test another

chinese rom :o

a litil tip :- go to home settings and disable animated drawer and c how blazing fast launcher becomes :D

2nd thing :- overclock it to 1 ghz /1.1 ghz .. install some games like modern combat 3 or dungeon hunter 3 or any other high end game and try thm on this i seriously felt some difference :) but again .. tht can b related to my perception only :D but quadrant scores for 3d are gud

last thing :- for some reason (i knw thr is so much controversy regarding it ) the dev mentioned he integrated bravia engine v3 (can check in build.prop) .. m not sure if it really works as quarx mentioned in other post long time back tht libs are for qualcomm processor only ..but seems like the black is more black in this rom during vedio playback and looks clearer
[Defy Android Development] kovalaci:
Thank You, it works. An RDS?
[Defy Android Development] tarunyad:
Rds integration .tht requires fm libs for it .. i think ..u got to ask someone more experienced with fm radio libs to do it for u ..
