[Amazon Fire Phone] danteoz:
Why shouldn't I compare it to android? It is android under the hood with a multitude of tweaks. Even iOS and Windows phone both support having apps arranged in a manner that makes finding them easy and how you want it. So far the Fire has not shown that. I had an original kindle fire, it was quickly rooted and I loaded custom ROMs within a few weeks because the interface was really bad for running multiple apps.

For me personally and anyone else I've shown it to, it is far from user friendly. But again that is my opinion of it and that was what I gave here, my opinion and observations.
[Amazon Fire Phone] kieranc88:
Well I have it a week , I sideload the 4.6.1 update and updated in 5 minutes, I followed the tutorial to install Google services and play store and works flawlessly, I installed Google maps and youtube and chrome Along with more Google apps and other apps and they work flawlessly , I can install custom launchers and different keyboards but I like the stock launcher as its fresh from just seeing a grid off apps and the stock keyboard is fine, the only work around I did was to manually install the 4.6.1 update sand install Google apps, the phone is fast and never lags and has good speakers and hardware
[Amazon Fire Phone] Viperise152:
The home button doubles as a recent app selector. Try installing 4.6.1 like suggested it totally makes the a better experience.
[Amazon Fire Phone] chalx:
I'm using it for about a month and easy of use is OK, much better than some say it is. I'm using it with stock launcher and I can't understand this obsession of many users here to s**t all over it. Main problem with FireOS is absence of persistent notifications on top bar - system tray, and inability to choose which quick actions you want to have in system tray. Lock screen is also pretty basic but not to bad. Installing other launcher will not solve this problems. UX can be better but can be worse either. Overall its a great phone for price under $200.
[HTC Desire 601] The_Greatest_Juan:
Virgin mobile just released the desire 816 for us use after its stint as a European exclusive. That being said, it's a hell of a device. You can look online for specs and what not. It's priced at 299$ the desire 601 is priced at $249.99 at the moment. It's incredibly desirable for me. ? Just wondering if anyone else will make the switch and if not, why.
[HTC Desire 601] Child's Play:
It says limit 2 phones per customer

If root and s-off r available and its cheaper ill probably switch
[HTC Desire 601] Hedied4me:
I'd like too but after spending $200 plus on this I can't afford new phone yet.

Wow I can't help but look at that beast and want one now. To say the specs are beefed over ours is an understatement. Was reading about it on gsmarena and its hard to imagine they still refer to it as a midrange phone. 1.6 quadcore with 1.5gb of ram. Still has front speakers, 13mp back camera (megapixels is overhyped camera terminology) but with 1080p video and 5mp front also with 1080p recording!! I might start saving and I do have a bday in November.

[HTC Desire 601] The_Greatest_Juan:
Mines in October lol. Yeah money is my issue at the point. As far as I know they have root and s-off because I've seen some custom roms for it. It's definitely border line high end. Good to know I'm not the only person excited about this.
[HTC Desire 601] Hedied4me:
Even better that the phone has already been out.

Sent from my cdma Virgin Mobile HTC Desire 601 zara_cl
[HTC Desire 601] The_Greatest_Juan:
Yeah exactly. If you look to it's xda forum, it's had quite a bit of development. Whether their methods for root and what not still work for the American variant is still a good question.
[HTC Desire 601] Toyeboy:
You can get it on eBay new for $219 at the moment. I'm so tempted. I've been waiting for a large phone for years with virgin mobile. 5.5" is definitely large. Although the specs are good the quad core is actually a lower end arm a7 chip rather than Krait cores..

HTC Desire 601 (Zara_CL)
[HTC Desire 601] Child's Play:
$219 is not that bad dont know if 5.5" is a good size
[HTC Desire 601] Hedied4me:
Wow, 219 is a fantastic price. Its 1 inch bigger than our phone. I wonder what the CPU speed is compared to ours and if development will ever take off for it unlike ours.

HTC Desire 601 (Zara_CL)
[HTC Desire 601] Hedied4me:
I don't like the look of the development section there. Our phone seems to have more going for it. The one rom seems to be mostly for the Chinese dual-sim version. There are some issues for the single similar version of the rom.

Edit: Well if I can sell my 601 for around 80-100 dollars on Craigslist I'm gonna get it. $200 is just too good to pass up.

Sent from my cdma Virgin Mobile HTC Desire 601 zara_cl
[HTC Desire 601] The_Greatest_Juan:
Well, now that minewhoooper has sold his CL (our version of the zara.) We will be seeing very little to no development now. Which pretty much sells me on switching to the 816.

Yes we have it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2804427
[HTC Desire 601] The_Greatest_Juan:
That's true. But at this point, the potential for that phone is more interesting to me than sticking with just the one Rom and kernel we have.
[HTC Desire 601] Child's Play:
I wonder if someone can get s-off on that phone
[HTC Desire 601] The_Greatest_Juan:
I do believe they have a kernel with write protection disabled. I could be mistaken though.
[HTC Desire 601] Hedied4me:
I was thinking the same thing. I spent some time looking through those threads and saw no mention of s-off. In fact people were having issues just getting busybox and Xposed framework working properly. Getting s-off on this phone was hard enough for me. As much as I'd like that phone I'm really skeptical at this point. I think I will wait and see what happens now that its been released for VM as momentum starts to build with an influx of more users.

It would be nice if VM gave us a phone that other US networks had. When I had my Evo V there were a minimum of 10 roms being updated regularly.

I don't think it's compatible with virging mobiles 816. I see that the single sim has a few bugs, so it doesn't catches my attention.

---------- Post added at 07:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 PM ----------

No I haven't bother with S-off. I'll look into it tho'

So far I just have the bootloader unlocked and rooted. I want the writeable access but I'll wait for the 816 become more popular.
[HTC Desire 601] Toyeboy:
Only thing that kept me from buying is it's on the low side for 3D performance. It's the same Adreno 305 but pushing much more pixels with the 720p resolution. 5.5" would be nice though **sigh**

Can be a charging cable fault change it. If the problem persists.

Then you are having trouble with your charging slot. Yes the hardware charging jack.

It might have been oxidised and thus preventing a proper flow of current.

Your both problems refer to the same cause. Either the charging cable or the (hardware) charging jack. Replace either of them and you are good to go again.

And secondly Samsung DONT block any NonSamsung cable. Even in many cases other cable are found to work more smooth and efficient with Samsung phone as compared to original Samsung cables.
