I am going to tout the HTC rezound. The one feature that that phone has that's of importance at least to me is the fact that you can be on a phone call and in a 3G area and still use all of the Data features. Same goes with the Thunderbolt. Plus, it is Bootable and you can S-Off also. I do like other phones. But the fact is HTC does a great job. One suggestion I would make. Try to purchase the phone that you are looking for off craigslist or whatever sales web site you prefer. Because Verizon will charge you an upgrade fee and tax. For example, and I go back to the Rezound.

Here in MA we have a 6.25% sales tax. So the Rezound is $199+tax+upgrade charge. $241.44 Not to mention a new contract signing for two years. I just purchased the Rezound on CL for $200 even. I saved a couple of dollars and got a killer phone. Now if you are not into the rooting and modding process and you have servers and windows based devices. As another person had stated, you might want to try a or should I say, the only Window's based phone currently at Verizon. As others and you have stated it is preference and needs. I fall back on the simultaneous use of data and voice over 3g thing. And I love Android for its openness and then there is HTC and there willingness to unlock our boot loaders. Any way, good phone hunting.

Hey i see in your starter post that you have a lot of hardware so you must be a bit of a techie.

You prolly want the fastest out there, right ?

At the moment go for a Galaxy S3, HTC one X or wait for the Iphone 5
[Networking] denmarknet:
must consider the latest processor...

i.e.

any Quad-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A9 - Android OS smartphone FTW~
[Networking] Paladinleeds:
Ok, so what I would like to suggest is that given you have a netbook with WinXP/Ubuntu, a tablet with Ubuntu (one question... how?), etc, is that Android is probably the way to go. No phone can be everything to everyone, and as a pretty OS agnostic person (I have a Windows 7/Ubuntu dual-boot desktop, MacBook Pro, HTC TITAN Windows Phone, HTC Flyer Android tablet, and iPod Touch), what suits me might not suit you.

I don't think Windows XP supports Zune, so if that is the case you can safely write off a Windows Phone. The iPhone can be considered, but just remember to install iTunes on your Windows XP, just as a failsafe in case the turd hits the fan. Similar with Zune if Windows XP supports it and your Windows Phone goes tits up. Android has no such program for it, as far as I know.

So, with each of the operating systems, I'll put my phone recommendation down

iOS - iPhone 4/4S

Android - Samsung Galaxy SIII, or HTC One X.

Windows - Nokia Lumia 900 or HTC TITAN (if you can use AT&T), failing that, the HTC Trophy.
[Networking] Ald1n:
Any Android phone for me is perfect, because I like Android so much, its simple, fast, stable, just the way it meant to be :)
[Networking] Atom1cSt0ne:
HTC Wildfire , and now HTC wildfire S :)
[Networking] deathnotice01:
i personally would love the nokia lumina just to test it out (lol only person who asks for a windows phone), i'll just wait for the bonuses AT&T gives me maybe a free phone since i work for them

Iphones are too mainstream and too overrated for me

Android is not new to me since i have one,

also have a old HTC Wizard with windows 6.5
[Networking] Babydollll:
Actually the "latest" processor would be a Cortex A15 with 28nm architecture.

The S4 even though dual core has better benchmarks (and real world usage) due to the newer architecture....
[Networking] cuiter23:
Really depends on which platform you prefer.

Personally, after using WinMo 6.5, Windows Phone 7/7.5, Android, iOS, and RIM, I believe that Android is light years ahead of all the other platforms. Especially Windows Phone.

Verizon has a wide range of smartphones that appeal to different people. If you prefer pure performance, I would wait for the Samsung Galaxy S3 which has a dual core Snapdragon 1.5GHz S4 Processor (fastest to date) along with 2GB of RAM and also a big screen (not huge like the Galaxy Note). It sucks that North America is limiting phones to dual core only, as the international S3 is quad core.

Apple, Samsung, and HTC are the clear leaders in the smartphone/superphone industry. I would wait for the S3, or if you prefer bigger screens, get the Galaxy Note (5.3 inch) or wait till the end of the year as Samsung has plans for the Note II (5.5 inch).

Hope this helps :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kfk88:
Hi,

I just got a Galaxy Nexus from Ebay, the previous seller had installed a rom on it, now this is my first time using android (coming from ios) all i would like to do is return it back to its original standard os, basically as they call it i guess stock?

On the menu it has a app called "Superuser"

When i plug the phone into my computer and look at the memory card with all the standard folders there are 2 zip folders -

"gapps-ics-20120304-signed" and "Codename-Android-(MOD)-2-041212-SNAPSHOTmaguro"

If somebody can give me something or tell me something that i can do to return it back to if i just bought it from google i will be greatly in your debt!

I have been looking round but i'm worried that i will damage or ruin the phone if i go ahead and do something i'm not spouse to...

I have downloaded a program by Wugfresh and tempted to just push in the "Back to 100% Stock - Flash stock + unroot"

Thanks for your help, i would like to be into flashing and rooting and that but im too new to this, i just want to go back to a normal google phone!

Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You can use a toolkit, or flash the stock images via Fastboot. Guides ALL OVER.

I recommend Fastboot as its pretty foolproof and less of a chance that something can break w/o your knowledge of how it happened. The hardest part is getting drivers to work if you're on Windows.

Here are the images directly from Google: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#yakju

Choose "yakju" or "takju". Both are 100% stock Google firmware. Exactly the same, but "takju" includes Google Wallet preinstalled, rather than getting it from the Play Store. Download and unzip, flash with Fastboot (or toolkit if you're incompetent).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
@kfk88: My guide here is pretty n00b friendly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tragik74:
OR just use Galaxy Nexus Toolkit---the easier way
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Or you could wait to use a toolkit until after you know figure out how to do it manually-- so you actually learn something...
[LG Revolution] LGuserORL:
Okay here is the situation...

I had brokenout 1.2 on my phone but I wanted to get back to stock Zv8.

I went into clockwork and installed the zv7 to zv8 zip and thought everything would be okay....but I can't get any signal or data. It boots up with Zv8 installed but I can't really do anything :(

Any help would be nice, thank you!
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
Get the TOT file and flash the whole phone to v8 then do a factory reset (if you want to go back to out of box) then re-root it.
[LG Revolution] LGuserORL:
I'm not really sure how to do that. I can't re-boot into recovery mode. I want to keep all my apps and everything, I'm just not a fan of the BrokenOut Rom.

[LG Revolution] Haxcid:

18 steps, 30 min of your time, don't do the factory reset like I said, root after and your apps should stay. I flash the v8 TOT all the time and don't lose my apps. Phone boots up stock with my apps installed.
[LG Revolution] LGuserORL:
Okay, I did everything and got my phone back to Zv7 except there are a few problems...

I can't make calls

Messaging doesnt work

Lots of apps crash.

Any advice?
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
Factory reset. Only thing you can do pretty much.
[LG Revolution] Caleeeeeeb:
You sure your phone isn't in test mode?
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
I bet, some how, you got the radio and software all mixed up. This problem usually arises when you flash a room for a newer software version (broken out over v7). Flash the v8.tot and that SHOULD set you straight.

Go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1454802 and you will see it is pretty simple. You just swap your pics(pngs) inside defaultthemes.apk. Look inside res/drawable-hdpi to see pics. Best bet is to rename the defaultthemes.apk to zip file extension(defaultthemes.zip) when editing on computer and unzip it to see pics easier. Then swap out whatever you want but keep the names of pngs the same & then rezip it and change the end back to apk. The rest is explained in the link I posted. lol.:)

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] cyrusalmighty:
Sorry man, I didn't think it could brick or bootloop phone if you were editing your own defaultthemes.apk and you changed the permissions before you drop it into the system/app folder. And usually only replacing the framework-res.apk will ever bootloop phone when I'm messing with files in system/app folder. Do you remember when your phone started bricking. What did you do(if u remember) & what model of Xperia play are you on? R800i or R800x? GSM or CDMA?

If your phone is rooted, remove google **** (maps, contact sync, calendar sync, bookmark sync, search, picassa, Gmail, YouTube etc) and some HTC crap (htc hub, likes, message upload, smith, and some more) using a script to clean up the ROM. Disable autosync, disable backup & recover with Google, and most important: don't store personal data such as contacts, calendars & docs with Google. Disable background data, disable 'always on' internet, set WiFi sleep policy to 15 min, set screen animations to none, screen brightness to 25-30%, select powersave on, set powersave to kick in at 25% of power and set all email retrieve settings to manual.

[HTC Sensation] J Raymond:
:eek: I Found this on Google and re-posting here:

HTC's upgrade of the HTC Sensation on Wednesday to Android 4.0 will be bittersweet, as a T-Mobile representative said that the company will begin enforcing its $14.99 per month wireless hotspot plan.

That probably means that the carrier's policy of letting some customers use the feature for free will end, making a Wi-Fi hotspot subscription mandatory for those who want the "Ice Cream Sandwich"/Android 4.0 upgrade, and wish to keep using the phone as a wireless hotspot.

T-Mobile's support document on the HTC Sensation upgrade on Monday came with a caveat: "HTC Sensation 4G will be required to add Wi-Fi Mobile Hotspot feature in order to use the service after completing this update."

T-Mobile also indicated that ICS would be coming to the HTC Amaze 4G "in the coming weeks". However, that document lacks the Wi-Fi Mobile Hotspot caveat that T-Mobile included on the HTC Sensation page. On the other hand, users have reported that T-Mobile has also previously blocked the Wi-Fi tethering feature on the Amaze.

T-Mobile has always officially charged $14.95 per month for Wi-Fi hotspot access. However, some users were given a free pass, leading to confusion about whether T-Mobile actually charged for the feature. Users needed to buy the package, whether or not they used a USB cable to tether the phone to their computer, or a Wi-Fi connection.

"T-Mobile began offering a Smartphone Mobile Hotspot plan in November 2010. However, due to technical limitations with software, customers were not being charged for the feature on select T-Mobile products," a T-Mobile representative said. "Customers who choose to upgrade their HTC Sensation 4G to the optional Android 4.0 (ICS) software update will be required to sign up for the $14.99 Smartphone Mobile Hotspot plan."

Furthermore, some users were also given a grace period of sorts. "T-Mobile may not immediately block you from Wi-Fi sharing until it is verified that you are using your device as a modem...and at that time you may be blocked and then required to purchase a feature to continue using it," a T-Mobile customer support representative wrote last year. "That said, there may be a period of time where you are able to tether without having the feature added on the account."

Although a T-Mobile representative confirmed that HTC Sensation 4G customers who wish to continue using the hotspot feature would need to pay the extra fee, all HTC Sensation owners will be able to upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich for free - it's just the hotspot feature that will cost extra.

HTC has a total of 16 phones lined up to get ICS updates, as it said in March, including the Droid Incredible 2 by HTC, HTC Amaze 4G, HTC Desire S, HTC Desire HD, HTC EVO 3D, HTC EVO Design 4G, HTC Incredible S, HTC Sensation, HTC Sensation XL, HTC Sensation 4G, HTC Sensation XE, HTC Raider, HTC Rezound, HTC Rhyme, HTC Thunderbolt, and HTC Vivid.

[HTC Sensation] sumasage:
Will running custom rom based off the official RUU get this problem too? I am using LeeDroid version and can still tether. I assume using any version other the official version will work just fine. Hope someone with more knowledge can clear this up.
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
A custom rom should fix it, but that's yet to be proven. I'm not switching to official till there is a teathering work around (since I use it often)!
[HTC Sensation] monte666:

[HTC Sensation] K23Meow:
Thanks for posting this. After seeing this post, I mentioned it to my husband, who called T-Mobile and mentioned it to them. Since we've been Tmobile customers for so long, They gave us a 5$ monthly hotspot and assured us that we would be able to get this on any new lines we started in our account so long as we didn't change our plan.

It might be worth calling Tmobile and talking to them about this directly, especially for those of you who have been with Tmobile and had your plan for long enough to be grandfathered when it comes to the data plans.
[HTC Sensation] rhirne12:
This actually isn't a bad idea. Personally, I've had more luck actually going into a TMOB store and speaking with someone there than I've had with phone support. I've been with TMOB for a while and we've always been able to come to a resolution / compromise on any issues I've had. Bare in mind, I make sure my payments are current, I'm not habitually late, etc... And when talking to them, screaming and yelling isn't always the way to go.

And if you are already grandfathered into a data plan, they are usually willing to work with you on issues like this. The answer might not be one you agree with 100% (such as changing an old grandfathered data plan to a more current one) but they will usually work out some sort of deal with you
[HTC Sensation] tamale:
tether workaround

There are a few other workarounds that worked for me.

1) Change your user agent string to something mobile on your browser

2) Browse through an encrypted proxy (work VPN works great for me)

3) Use the internet for things other than HTTP and you'll be fine. (HTTPS works fine)

tethering and wifi HS

I don't use tether to much but did use my wifi hotspot a lot and when I went to elegancia I started getting those upsell pages on both google and IE. I went back to ARHD and my wifi hot spot is working again (at least on IE) without upsell. I like the stock look of elegancia but don't need an extra $15 bucks a month on my bill so I'll stick to ARHD as long as it works or untill they find a fix/workaround for other roms

OK after some further testing I still get an upsell on Google. No surprise as to who is in bed together, lol... Still concerned about not being to see super cid with cid getter. It still says tmob010..read more, test more haha. I ran adb commands (connected) 6 times and each time I got cid 11111111 returned. When I got to cid getter I get TMOB010...hummm. Also I'm not able to sync with this rom mod. Need to check with dev.

One other thing, when you exceed your limit and they slow you down!...they really slow you down...dial up would be faster, lol

I have a unlocked unrooted sensation 4G with ICS 4.0, and currently using the phone in non T-Mobile GSM network.

In network option,

if “GSM/WCDMA- Auto” is selected, my 4G(shows 4G, but connected to 3.5G)WiFi hotspot works just fine, am able to tether devices.

if “GSM” is selected, my 2G(shows 2G, but connected to 3.5G)WiFi hotspot works just fine, am able to tether devices, but in lower 2G speed.

if “WCDMA” is selected, my 4G(shows 4G, but connected to 3.5G)WiFi hotspot works, but not connecting to inernet, am NOT able to tether devices.

So in a nutshell, Non-T mobile GSM networks unlocked ICS 4.0 should allow hotspot, not sure if carrier has configured anything at their end(as tmobile can offer hotspot with net for free for 5GB data plans)
