After my vogue took a crap, I ordered an Eris from eBay, I figured that would be the ideal time to upgrade. Im going to root it tomorrow and begin porting the Legend rom to it. I miss working on the vogue ports, and like Zenulator said, it is wierd actually having every thing working :eek:.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] joetrisman:
I'm hanging tight as it seems that the competition between wireless carriers is accelerating a lot within the last year. With the nexus going to all carriers and the iphone to supposedly follow, it will be interesting to see where things go in terms of pricing. Also throw in 4g coming to sprint in the next quarter (although I read over at their user forum that the 4g has been running into bandwidth problems in the test cities). I forsee 3g "everything" pricing leveling out just under $50 as 4g comes into mainstream.

In short, if I can get a 1ghz+ native android device in the next year on a ~$40 plan, I'll probably bail ship. Otherwise, I'm sticking to Sero and snickering at my iphone friends as I tell them I pay 27.50 a month for my "everything" plan.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] hexto:
I am waiting for the Nexus on VZW. The Legend would be nice but I'd rather have twice the RAM over Sense UI which seems to be the rumor going around about the Legend.

I still can't believe I've had the Vogue for 2 yrs. I've never had a phone for 12 months nevermind 24. That's a credit to the devs here who have extended the life of my phone by more than twice. Thanks.

I will say this, as long as there is still developing for the Vogue I will keep trying it. As others have said, it's weird when everything works. I use a MyTouch 3G at work and its just not as fun or as cool as my Vogue.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] br125:
I couldn't agree more, I'm looking forward to the nexus on vzw as its the first phone I see worth giving up the vogue for.

I'm on a 1 year business contract so I used to get a new phone every 10-12 months 'til I got the vogue and discovered this forum, going on 2 years with my vogue! I think I see the end coming soon though..
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
yeah, jdnake and myn, I agree about not giving up SERO. i was tempted for a little bit, but couldn't bring myself to do it. there is a gap in the windows mobile phones on sprint right now, you're right the TP2 is an absolute brick; but if nothing else comes through the pipeline, as much as I love sleek phones if I'm going to buy something it is definitely going to have more screen real estate than the vogue . . . i'm praying for a diamond 2 to land in the lineup. I'll keep my vogue android phone for a while yet, though, waiting, waiting on something nicer for SERO. ok, I'm rambling. need sleep.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mssmison:
For me it's going to be g1 -> magic -> snapdragon based.

That or I'll keep the vogue forever..

lol
[Touch CDMA Android Development] refthemc:
I left the Vogue a couple of months back and got the Eris. It's doing it's job for now, but when that Nexus hits big red, I'm going to be tempted...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] billobob:
I had a Touch Pro when I was with AT&T and the battery life is mostly a software issue. When I was running a custom 6.5/Sense ROM the battery life was amazing for a multitasking smartphone and much better than the Moment I have now
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
Whew! Good to hear. Although power management is not our android's strong point either - but it can be improved! I'm looking forward to hacking into the raph500 since it's one of the least supported phones (imo).

Oh, and I voted diamond based on price alone. That seems important to most of us economy-plan loving vogue users.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
just saw a touch pro 2 on ebay for $230. 1h & 30min left. only 1 bid so far!!!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] bri3d:
Most bids on eBay these days happen in the last 15 seconds - that's not a really good indicator. Looking for recently completed auctions (you have to be logged in to see the option) for whatever you're looking for is much more reliable.

I've got a Nexus One as well (on T-Mo) and it's quite the phone - Eclair / Android 2.1 doesn't support proxies at all though, which is a deal-breaker in some of the environments I work in. The N1's touchscreen also isn't very reliable (with that said, absolutely anything is a step up from the Vogue in that respect, at least in my experience), and the battery life leaves a lot to be desired (it's not substantially better than Donut on the Vogue, and I think Vogue WM6.5 might very well beat it, even undervolted with a custom kernel).

I would plan on buying a Supersonic the day one is available ... except Sprint will probably try to force me to change plans :(
[Touch CDMA Android Development] a5ehren:
They almost certainly will - there hasn't been a non-WinMo smartphone for SERO since the Centro I think :P.

I'm also moving to a native Android phone in July when my contract is up - should be fun to see what is announced at CTIA this week.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
I keep refreshing Engadget waiting for the SuperSonic release..
[Touch CDMA Android Development] berardi:
I don't even look... no way it will be on SERO :-/
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tempe38:
Since some cool new phones are coming to Sprint and I can upgrade in May, I'll probably to moving to an Android device as well. I've toyed with the idea of getting a Diamond but it doesn't look like Android is as well integrated as in the Vogue. Wish I could help with that but I have no idea how to do that stuff.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
after picking my jaw up off the floor, I find myself scheming for ways to make this work for the same price as I've got my two SERO lines for now . . .

http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/htc-evo-4g-is-sprints-android-powered-knight-in-superphone-armo/

two SERO + att dsl = 60 + 40 = 100/month

EPRP 3 way split with my brother = 125*0.66 for two lines = 83, and I'll use this beast for internet (one for the wife, one for me so we've always got internet at home :D)

I'm die hard SERO (i'm all about my financial bottom line, period), but DAMN, that is one sweet phone, I may start pooping dimes just to bridge the financial gap . . .

(they better not add a data surcharge on this one . . .)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] seanmcd72:
Wow, you can get an Eris for just a bit more for that kind of money... ?? Sooo many sweet new phones coming out I can't see buying an older one for that kind of monies.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Roll Fizzlebeef:
The whole point is SERO compatibility. Only some phones will activate, unless you clone ESNs.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Reddog80p:
Get on a plan with other ppl. Especially if they don't use alot of voice. I'm on a family share plan w/ verizon. I'm the only one with a smartphone. So I pay 9.99 as one of the additional lines and 34.99 for my unlimited data & texting. $45.00 bucks for any phone in my case. I'll be switching to the HTC incredible and it's nice 3.7" AMOled screen when it comes out for vzw. I was kinda shocked the sprint EVO 4G phone has a big tft screen all pics I've seen of it show bad fingerprints. I like the nexus but I'm getting a phone through verizon so I can have brick and mortar support if needed. Nexus will be sold only through google online.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] inertone:
Same here!!!

Same exact scenario!

i can not wait for the incredible!!

im kind of disappointed sprint announce the evo first though

but it only means VZW is working out some bugs...hopefully
[Touch CDMA Android Development] BigBadBuu:
SERO's not mission critical, nowadays...

End of year/quarter, Sprint offers retention credits of up to $20 per month and it's cake to get the AOL/TW employees & friends 25% off as well.

So for ~$40, I'm getting unilimited everything for, on any phone, ex:

$70 * (1-25% ) - $20 = $31.80 [unlimited mobile, 450 landline/international minutes]

+

$5 for choose 3 [for unlimited landlines/international via GV]

So yeah, SERO's pretty much pointless nowadays...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] acegolfer:
1. Thanks for the infor/math.

2. AFAIK, Sprint no longer offers $20/m credit. Right now, if lucky, you will get $10/m. If unlucky, the credit may disappear after several months and you need to fight to get it back.

3. This is Android port on Vogue forum. I'm surprised someone with a new phone is lurking here.

Personally, $30 SERO is no hassle plan. I don't have to worry about losing any credit/discount.

Just post an app that you think not many people have but might be interested in.

I'll start

Reddit is fun: An app for www.reddit.com

Wallpapers (nexus/droid version): Great HQ wallpapers here
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Ustream Broadcaster -> link
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] HumpDdumpD:
Tricorder. On market. Kinda useless, but fun to play with all your phones sensors.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] diablokev87:
fxcamera, its in the market place
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
Ups, that´s cool & usefull! - thanx!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
No prob! I've been using it for a bit and am still amazed at the quality and overall simplicity of the app.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 24bronco:
Shoot me, just found out about this one and its amazing.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xombe:
TicTacToe... In the market. This app is not your childhood game but instead a brilliantly hidden browser to be used for viewing certain things. FTW
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nDrg:
FakeFirefox - Simply a shortcut to the stock browser with a FF icon :P

MortPlayer Music + Widget - Great little music player that sorts songs by folder rather than artist/album etc. A little tip is to put the album cover in each folder under Folder.jpg

Quickboot - Lets you create shortcuts to bootloader, reboot and recovery for one click access.

Bloo - Facebook replacement which has an awesome notification system that flashes blue with the newer CM releases :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] erinata:
Tallybee

The program is very simple, but the idea is very neat.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Carloswithac:
Connectoo. Fun game!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MagicXB:
bTunes Music Player (includes widget) - ever wanted to show off to your iPhone friends? Make them surprised when you show them that you, an Android user, can have the same UI/functionality of the iPhone's music player with just one download of an app.

Midomi SoundHound - What's that song? Hear it and identify it FAST with SoundHound - just hold your phone up to a speaker, and SoundHound names the tune in as little as five seconds! It even works if you sing or hum the melody.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stshannon:
TorrentFu - Great if you do alot of torrenting like i do. Not only can you monitor your torrents on your home PC, you can scan barcodes, or search for items, and have the torrent sent and downloaded on your home PC (Barcode scanner integrated).

Handcent (NEW) - By far, the best SMS/MMS app on the market. blows the stock MMS to shreds.

OurGroceries - Not just your everyday Grocery/List manager. SYNC in real-time with your spouses (or whomever) phone, cross sync with iPhone users. Allows you to enter (or delete) items to/from your list, and in real time, your spouse (or whoever) will see the changes.

My Tracks - GREAT for hikers/bikers. Track, map, and get stats for your hiking/biking trips.

Surveyor - GREAT measuring tool. This is one that few will have a need for, but those that need, don't know this exists, and is GREAT.

TuneWiki - My personal favorite for playing local (SD) music, as well as shoutcast.

and you cant leave out Pandora. Just a great personalized radio. Once you get some artists setup into your station, it really does tune to what you like. Another one of those you gotta really try it before you pass judgment.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] phaelenp:
SubSonic is a GREAT program to easily stream your music from your PC to your phone. It even has an offline option to play music you downloaded later without a data connection. The server on your PC is incredibly light and doesn't drag on system resources like all other server programs I've ever used before. Now I can easily browse through and enjoy my 450GB music collection from nearly anywhere on the go! :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] genibus:
Excellent idea for this thread btw.

My app suggestion is Twicca, an incredibly full function yet light and appealing GUI for twitter.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 3Shirts:
How does that compare to Shazam? Sounds like it does basically the same job so I wondered if you'd tried both?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] 3Shirts:
For UK users I quite like ASBOrometer. It gives your current location a rating based on the level of anti-social behaviour! Based on official government stats.

Google Sky Map is awesome on the Nexus as well. Gives you a full mapping of the stars with their names and constellations using gps, compass and accelerometer so you can point it at the stars above you and see what they are. Really cool
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MatMew:
Personally ChompSMS is my favorite SMS app, but my recommendation is definitely Screebl Pro, detects when your phone isn't at a level that is classified as laying down on a bench or something, and keeps your phone's screen on until the phones sensor detects it's been placed down or something. Fully customization, and saves battery life, because you can set your screen timeout to the lowest with this app enabled.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Carloswithac:
Slacker Radio.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Some essentials in my sig but also I recommend:

AdFree (€0) - I don't need to see another religious ad

aiSystemWidget (€€) - Great stats widget and even better app including history

AppBrain (€0) - Just started using it but I love the recommendations

Apps Organizer (€0) - Awesome for sorting apps into folders

AutoKiller (€0) - Set and forget memory management

Better Cut (€€) - Give yourself the desktop you want

Dolphin Browser (€0) - Still the fastest and most functional browser IMHO

ES File Explorer (€0) - Should be mandatory for root users, best file manager there is

Mini Info (€0) - Another great stats widget

NewsRoom (€€) - Best RSS reader out there

MyBackupPro (€€) - Now supports apk backups and system data backups

QuickBoot (€0) - Reboot, Recovery or Bootloader all with one click

Settings Profiles (€€) - Fun, functional but still deciding on whether it's essential

ShootMe (€0) - Screen caps

Wallpaper Set & Save (€0) - Great for hi resolution wall papers

Pure Music Widget (€€) - Pure

Beautiful Widgets (€€) - Beautiful

And there are others but this is the 'pack' that I install immediately after any flash.

And perhaps not necessary for this thread but here you go anyway:

Shazam sucks compared to Sound Hound. If youuse Shazam a lot, get Sound Hound. It does the same job, just substantially better. I had a lot of problems with shazam not picking up music or being off line. Never had an issue with Sound Hound.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] darx:
Gmote! It turns your n1 into a wireless mouse. I love it because my laptop is always plugged into my tv.

google sky map awesome live map of the stars and constellations. I found mars was very bright and noticably orange by using this app. Very cool.

N1 torch awesome flashlight app. The nexus ones led is BRIGHT.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:

aiSystemWidget - (great, touch the widget and it launches an awesome app)

Quickboot (x shortcuts from app)

Mini Info Widget - batt, mem, sd

IP Address Widget

At the very least it's on par with Shazam when it comes to identifying music. However, for me SoundHound gets the advantage simply because it can identify music that you either hum or sing. It's quite useful really. :D

Lightningbug- my all time fav. Best sleep aid I've ever used and it doesn't require a prescription! You can listen to rain(near or far distance), thunder, gently crashing waves, and a couple other sounds I don't use/remember. You can listen to all the sounds at the same time, or one at a time. Audio quality is awesome. Lots of settings for timer, backgrounds, the individual volume of each sound you have running, etc. I have never been able to go bed and fall asleep without laying there for an hour waiting first. Now I just turn on lightningbug and I'm out. I have it set to stay on for 30 minutes and not once have I ever still been awake when it shut itself off. I'm just blown away by how well it works. Even my wife likes it and she not one to go for things like this. And, the app is free.

NewsRob: The BEST rss reader for android. Syncs perfectly with google reader. If you don't know what rss readers do... let me explain: if you check certain websites every day, they usually have an rss feed. virtually every news, gossip, blog, etc has an rss feed. RSS readers can aggregate all those posts into one spot. It's worth the time it takes to figure it all out!

Repligo Reader: The best pdf reader I've used

Subsonic: Awesome way to access your personal music library

Remote VNC Pro: For anyone who uses VNC

Bettercut: Customize your icons and labels on your home screen!

Powerwidget Basic: A simple, non ugly widget displaying battery life

Sleeptimer: Auto shutdown of music apps (so you can fall asleep to them)

Dialer One: T9 search your contacts and call them. Everyone should have this.

Wallpaper Set and Save: Setting wallpapers using the normal way results in color banding for papers with gradients. Use this to avoid that.

Multi-touch Gallery: Avoid the downsampling the stock gallery does when displaying images

SMS Backup: Never worry about losing your texts again. Automagically backs them up to gmail with an SMS label. You can then use gmail to search your text messages!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] NDJason2009:
Hello,

I upgraded my AT&T line a couple of weeks ago to an HTC Pure (flashed a ROM from XDA, and it's much better!). I really wanted Windows Mobile and a physical keyboard, but the Tilt 2 was out of my price range, so I settled on the Pure. However, the Tilt 2 is now available for $50 upgrade from Amazon, which is the same price I paid for the Pure straight from AT&T. My question is, will AT&T allow me to return the Pure and allow me to use the upgrade pricing option somewhere else? Have any of you been in a similar situation? I'm still within my 30 day return period.

Thanks for your time!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fone_fanatic:
if your still within your 30 day return period then return it to at&t and i think that should reverse your upgrade which will allows you to get from amazon. Also check out wirefly.com and letstalk.com, they usually have good deals
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] NDJason2009:
Thanks for the quick response. I'm going to call AT&T today.

The Tilt is free with upgrade pricing on LetsTalk.com. The only thing is, they ask you to choose a plan and stuff even on the Family Plan upgrade option. I don't want to change my current Family Plan (I have two other lines on the account). Should I just call them to order the phone to keep from changing the plan, or if I select all the same options as what I currently have, will it just stay the same? Have you ever ordered from them? I just don't want anything to change or have them to try to add on something else.
