I completely agree with you. Of course, I did end up watching a lot of youtube videos using the HD option and thanks to the increase in data speeds thanks to 4G. I also ended up downloading a lot of ROMs using the 4G network. Sooo.... I really do need my unlimited. haha.

Used up about 12GB right now (that's low compared to my usual 30GB usage).

No ignorance shown dude. You were just curious about a certain fact. No harm done. Anyways, it really depends on what you did with the 3G plan and whether you continue to plan on doing the same things. If you're going to stick to the same habits that you had with the 3G plan and avoid watching a lot of YouTube videos or any sort of streaming, then you should be good.

Ok. I was just a little curious. :)

Well, this is it. Probably the last message ill write in this forum from my inc2. I've decided to get the DNA. The main reasons being that i like the phone , a lot. Also, Samsung always feels cheap in my hands and if I'm gonna drop a few hundred on a phone i want it to feel that way; i hate the cheap plastic that the S3 has and I'm not too crazy about the S4 either. The galaxy nexus is attractive, but I'm extending my contract and i want a phone with more horsepower for the next two years, also its Samsung.

I'll still be around, because I'm gonna try to use my inc2 in some way. Probably a test phone to help out the amazing Devs here.

Thanks for reading my babble.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brymaster5000:
I have been eyeballing the DNA. I want my wife to get a smartphone...she still uses a flip phone and updating the dinc2 before she gets one is not happening. Let us know your thoughts.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] thenaut:
Will do. I know that it will most likely have the ota installed and from what i could tell they havent found the exploit yet. I will definitely let you guys know what i think.

I mostly think I'm a glutton for punishment because its HTC and Verizon again, but the inc2 has been amazing even with its lack of support from the dreaded duo.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] MoonMaster345:
Well at this point, HTC already delivered

Its Verizon that doesent want to support their 3g devices anymore

Dammit HTC and Verizon!

On a side note, I think I'm running the version before the ota so I should be able to root with ease.

---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------

Given the circumstances of the thunderbolt, I think the fact that the Inc2 is 3g has everything to do with its lack of an update.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] msolaw:
I'm so jaded by HTC and Verizon I've caught myself thinking I will wait and see about not just android phones coming up like the x. But the next iPhone or blackberry and wait for those reviews to come out.

Of course I'd prefer a nexus phone above all with good battery life drop in. Also all this because I will pay full price to keep unlimited data. If not I see no reason to not get t mobile. Of course I haven't checked my coverage. I'm guessing its awful here. Meh. :banghead:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] david_hume:
I'm just hoping the Note 3 also comes to Verizon with the Octa processor. That'll make me the happiest person in the world. Lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gtdtm:
So I really wanted a DNA too, but the difficulty getting root turned me off. I picked up the gs3 this weekend for $50 and the salesman (not a Verizon store) was able to keep my unlimited data, so I think I made out well. I'll probably troll this forum for a while and I have to say it is the best forum I've ever been on. Awesome users and great devs.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brymaster5000:
What store did you go to?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gtdtm:
A large membership warehouse that isn't owned by Wal-Mart and starts with a C...lol I don't want big red to hunt me or the salesman down.

Also, I think it mattered that my wife's phone is a dumbphone and was also eligible for an upgrade. But somehow he kept her upgrade active, and mine was used.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Lol that's where my mom went and got a RAZR HD. But they still took her data

Pooor my forgotten HTC, it is too old to wait to upgrade? Why?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Camaro305:
According to HTC's Facebook page, they are still working on the update, so I assume it's still planned. The verbage used in their reply is the same they used when asked about the Thunderbolt update, and suddenlt news broke of the OTA. I assume it was VZW just not approving it yet, and I assume its the same in the case of the Inc2.

**** verizon

All we need is an OC kernel for the sense and miui roms and we can forget about freakin ota and the source (though it'll be great if they do!)

Though i still stand by what i said and its they theres a huge possibility they just don't want to support their 3g devices, as those shared plans are for 4g and LTE phones, maybe it won't be profitable for them to release an update to a phone that'll go EOL in a few months.

The 420 build of pac is great. The newer one has "issues" let's say.

So since we have kernel, is there a way to get ffc working on other ocs roms besides viper?

That's up to the ROM developer if he got FFC working but if anything yes!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
I've been dirty flashing Evervlov for the past 2 months and love the ROM. Its the best 4.2.2 ROM in my opinion.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cstone1991:
Well, I guess I might as well help this thread make like jesus and come back to life.

Over the last few months my Dinc2 has been getting worse and worse. It started with random reboots which I thought were because of the somewhat unstable MIUI rom I was running. I switched to Chilly's PAC build and I continued to have the same problem. It kept getting worse until finally it started to shut off randomly and I would have to bend the phone a few times before it would turn back on. Well my upgrade finally came today so I picked up a pair of GS3s at Costco for me and my wife. They were on sale for $29.99 and came with an accessory bundle consisting of 2 different leather pouch type cases, a usb cable, dual purpose car/home charger, 2 screen protectors, a screen wipe, and a large zippered case to hold it all which happens to fit a 7" tablet like my KindleFire perfectly. So far I'm happy with everything other than the slick plastic its made of. Good luck to everyone still running a Dinc 2!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jasonp0:
what are you doing with your old inc2? it may not be working well but i'm sure it could be parted out to help someone like chilly keep his inc2 going.

IMO the S3/S4 would be so much better if they were brushed aluminum instead of plastic.

sent from my GS3 from the Infected Army
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cstone1991:
That's not a bad idea. I haven't decided what I'm doing with it yet.

Brushed aluminum or even just the textured plastic on the Dinc2 would be way better!

I get FAR better signal with my GS3 than I ever did with my Dinc2 so I can't complain about the radios. 4 bars of LTE in my house compared to 2 bars of 3G and 2 bars of LTE where I had no signal in the local Walmart.

Me too.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FordNate:
But honestly is it true 4g coverage? As stated many think they have 4g but in honesty they only have 3g+
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cstone1991:
I'm not sure what you mean by "true 4g coverage" or "3g+". Are you referring to slow data speeds on LTE? LTE is LTE no matter the speed. 4g coverage doesn't necessarily mean that you will get good data speeds, it means that you are connected to a network with technology capable of higher data speeds when compared to 3g. Think of it this way, just because you are on a freeway doesn't necessarily mean you can travel any faster than a city street. Traffic and/or maintenance in the area may result in gridlock.

My main point was that I had NO signal in that area of Walmart with my Dinc2, like can't even send a text yet alone try to browse the internet or make a call. With my GS3 I can use the internet, call, and text standing in the same spot. Sure the data speeds aren't great there, I only get about 1 Mbps but that is a huge improvement over my Dinc2. I know the reception is actually better and that the LTE building penetration/signal strength isn't just better because my GS3 switched over to 3g a couple of times and showed 3-4 bars where the Dinc2 couldnt even send a text. At my house I have been regularly seeing 15-20 Mbps where I got 2-3 on a good day with my Dinc2.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] litetaker:
Yup, same story here with a different phone, the Dinc4G. I too get far better signal strength with LTE as compared to the 3G network, at my home. I am not sure what percentage of Verizon customers are now on the LTE network, but may be when it gets more loaded, we may suffer in terms of the data rates we get. But for now it is all pretty great! I get 3-4 bars (4 being full) compared to 1-2 bars with my previous 3G phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jcpowell:
No matter how you look at it all around you will get better signal with a LTE phone. I am currently doing LTE upgrades on cell towers and what we are mounting on these towers are intended for these devices.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] seejoshplay:
I don't believe the TBA referred to a decision to update, rather a timeframe for said update.

---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 PM ----------

Which means Sept 1 means nothing. I figure this happens Dec 29, my upgrade date.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Card83:
That doesn't mean much to me. I saw the leaked internal test beta, and nothing about it indicates that we're right around the corner from an OTA release. Example, the Thunderbolt crowd got a "leaked beta build" way back in April. Yet there is still no OTA ICS on the Thunderbolt.

Could it happen next week? Absolutely, and I'd be thrilled. Could it happen in 6 months or even get shelved permanently? Possibly, I don't know. I'm not saying it isn't going to happen. I'm just saying that it seems like every other week for the last 5 months, someone posts a thread about how the Inc2 is on the verge of getting ICS. I'm tired of hearing that it's "about to happen" and I'll just be content when it actually DOES happen. Until then, it's all just speculation to me.
