[HTC EVO 3D] srb7215:
So I have been thinking about what to new when I can get a new phone which should be able to happen in the next couple months. While I have like the 3D, I think it was a mistake to get something so different. None of the problems are because of the devs which have been great as always and I have been impressed at what has been done with as many problems as they have run into. So to end my monologue, I was hoping to get some advice from people with knowledge.

Lets pretend that every phone company had a phone that was exactly alike. Same specs, same look, same everything. Everything that is except the stuff that makes the companies different. So HTC has Sense on the phone. Samsung has touchwiz Etc. Who would you buy this phone from and why?

Basically trying to find out if there is one company that is easier to build ROMs for or if there is something one company does better than another. I have been on HTC since the Hero days and at one point loved Sense. Now though I feel Android has caught up with Sense in the overall function and feel of the phone. But I am still torn. If I leave Sense, there is no getting to try it out again later. But I also have never really used Touchwiz enough to know if there is something I am missing.

Maybe this turns into nothing of a question and it ends up being stupid that I asked it here. But what I am hoping is that I will learn something new about who actually makes the best phones to root.
[HTC EVO 3D] srb7215:
I guess I should add. I realize I could possibly go the route of a Nexus but again I would be left with only vanilla Android. No chance to try Sense or something different. Is it worth going the Nexus route for all the ease that it will probably have but with no chance of a different look?
[HTC EVO 3D] Astrikz:
That's where I'm heading.

I'm done with HTC and their lack of support.
[HTC EVO 3D] toad6386:
Yeah, after having the Pre before the 3VO, I'm wondering if I should go the Nexus route, too. It's the only thing that seems supported for the length of a contract. That's what gets me the most. If you buy a phone at release date, there should be FULL support (updates, etc) for the length of your contract, or at least have the knowledge of when support is expected to end. So where the M7 is looking promising, will it turn into a Pre or a 3VO? :eek: So now I don't know what to with my APR upgrade...:confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] FanOfSkynyrd:
Same here been with HTC since the Hero. I think I am going to part ways though, doesn't seem to me that HTC is doing anything innovative or ground shattering for me to stay with them.

I'm probably going to upgrade to the Galaxy S4 when its released just to try something else.
[HTC EVO 3D] stevefwt:
I was hanging out for a Galaxy S4 until I heard that the release date had been postponed to interfere with the iphone 5s sales.

I'll get a 200 dollar Taiwanese 5 incher while they're playing gods.
[HTC EVO 3D] srb7215:
I was thinking about Samsung but I didn't know if they were any better than HTC at releasing code. The SG4 will be interesting but the Note 2 is also very intriguing.

Nexus seems the safe route but doesn't seem to have the excitement surrounding it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rage1ofakind:
I'm going to upgrade to the HTC One (M7) :)
[HTC EVO 3D] toad6386:
That's probably what I'll wind up doing. I love Sense. The size of the One is probably the max I want to carry around. A Note is like carrying a tablet in your pocket <insert joke here :laugh: > For some, that's cool, but after TWO digitzer replacements, I gotta be careful. Only other thing on the radar right now, for me, is the Optimus G, and I don't know a thing about its UI...
[HTC EVO 3D] WatermelonSlim:
I don't know what's next for me but unless Sprint drastically upgrades their network in the next couple months then my next phone definitely won't be written Sprint.

Wimax is almost worthless these days. I can't hold a Wimax signal, even sitting at my desk. My city still hasn't even been mentioned for Sprint's LTE, and Sprint's 3G is not even usable around here.

So whatever my next phone turns out to be, it will probably be on T-Mobile this summer.

I'm pretty much done with HTC too. After getting screwed with this locked down Evo 3d that they refuse to support, I'm not buying another HTC phone. I'm either going with Samsung, LG, or Motorola.

There are way too many launchers out there for anyone to be worried about Sense or Touchwiz or whatever.
[HTC EVO 3D] mingolianbeef:
I have too talked with my parents about carrier switching. Sprint is nice, but... eh. If I stay, GNEX is the only way to go, if I leave, it'll be to T-Mobile and I'll be getting either a Gnex or a Sony Device, both great deving supporters.!

[HTC Inspire 4G] Djspinister:
Ok this is just temporary. A few questions that I can't find rock hard answers too. They run on the same network, but I can't get 4g to work. I copied the APN settings from my S2, and that gave me a connection, but its super slow, slower than 3g even. Is there any way to fix this?

Also, would rooting benefit me at all with this phone as far as the connection is concerned? I don't care if I need to root was going to do it anyways.

Thanks in advance for any help!

EDIT: Speeds are 85kbps down and 62kbps up.....lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jrhodes85:
You sound new to the phone as I was so ill pass information down to you...if you plan on using T-Mobile on the inspire 4g than your limited to edge/2g unless your in a certain state or city that already has the same frequencies that AT&T are using...in in Tuscaloosa if that helps you understand what I am saying....also with rooting you'll be able to change the radio image which as far as I understand can improve the quality and speed of a connection...its best to go with AT&T and get 4g speeds unless your in a big city....also there's another phone sikiliar to the inspire. It's the European version of this phone, its essentially the same phone...check out the HTC desire HD forum...and to root, I used AAHK...I don't have a direct link but you'll be able to find a few of my threads

Fastest chargers I've ever had are my old blackberry wall chargers. They're even faster than the chargers that come with the Nexus.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
As long as your charger can supply the maximum current asked for by the N4 (about 0.8A I think, if memory serves correct, from the service manual), then it doesn't matter how fast or high current it can supply, it won't charge any faster than the stock charger.

Boot twrp

I'm pretty sure that if the data works with no wifi, the signal is not the problem, just the way that the Rom is displaying it
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
yeah, it's because it's a port from the AT&T skyrocket. some of the things don't work exactly right on the T-mo version, such as the display bars showing up, even though you still get signal.

This is common on all skyrocket roms ported to the T989

either way, it bugs me enough that I don't use ported skyrocket roms on my T989. plus, I need wifi calling, so only t-mo based roms for me :)

I would but I am not in possession of the phone right now. But as I said before even t-mobile workers were unable to upgrade. This is why I am looking into if its safe to flash a custom room or even stock jellybean.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
Try and take some screenshots or something. Because even the first Galaxy S2 (the I9100) was released with Gingerbread, not Froyo, so this is stumping me right now.

Does it look like that? That's the Galaxy S 4G. Its like a slight revision to the OG Galaxy S. It doesn't have official CM Builds iirc though.

If it doesn't look like that, then she doesn't have a Galaxy S device, just some random Samsung phone

Could quite possibly be that. I remember that was released with Froyo.

I wanted to share this with everyone. I've been seriously considering getting the new Xperia Z when it's released but wanted to get a feel for how a Sony device is laid out. So after a bit of searching I found this. I've tested everything and it all works perfectly on our Skyrockets. I'm running Mohans Embryo 6.2 and haven't had any issues at all. Just follow the instructions in the OP of each thread carefully and enjoy.

I take no credit for any work, simply sharing. Please, if you flash/install these share what ROM you're using and any issues you encounter. I will not be offering any support since I'm not the developer, direct legitimate issues to their appropriate threads. Thank you.
