But yeah maybe android isn't for you if you think you can do most things on your bb.

I like mine still and gingerbread will make it more interesting.

That said it gets stale at times but so did iphone os and web os

All things do. Bb got stale 5 years ago
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EtherealRemnant:
I said I'd go back to Blackberry for stability purposes... not because its not boring. Plus I wouldn't have to buy another phone... I already own a Curve 8330 I can use on Sprint and my 9700 is on ATT.

Its either that or back to the Mogul or Touch Pro 2... I'd rather shoot myself.

I guess for me it would be more useful if I had a hardware keyboard...

EDIT: I guess I was expecting more... You know full flash is great and all... but without proper 3D acceleration it runs like ****. Same goes for the games on the Evo. 43FPS on Antigen? Are you kidding me? The Evo should absolutely SPANK that game...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EliWay:
Dude, if you like stability, unroot your phone and use stock 2.2. Stock = Stability. Period. Also, how does one get "bored" with a phone? As far as I'm concerned it's a tool you use to make calls, browse web, send texts, etc. Do you ever get "bored" with your laptop or your tv because it does what it's supposed to do? Please.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jsimon9633:
I hear you and don't totally disagree

Android platform is still young

Maybe windows phone 7 can bring something new along but I doubt our as they are blatantly copying iphone os 3

Its tough to keep pace nowadays with users demands for new stuff. I include myself as one of those users

As far as bb I was questioning why you'd buy the torch but if you are saying just a phone you already have that's a different story
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EtherealRemnant:
I do get bored with my TV thanks and my laptop and my desktop can both be upgraded to extend its capabilities. I run multiple operating systems on both machines.

And stock isn't stable. I've seen people ***** about stock just as much, if not more, than rooted. FroYo is just trash.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EtherealRemnant:
I don't have high expectations for WP7. I would love to be proven wrong but I don't even enjoy that particular interface on my Zune...

The Torch is something new and it fixes the main *****es that I had about BlackBerry - boot times and the web browser. Plus ATT offered it to me for 214 even though I only became a customer in January.

On the same token though I think its absolutely appalling that RIM is using the same 624MHz processor that my Bold 2 has and the Bold before it did as well so that would definitely factor into my decision to most likely not purchase the device.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jsimon9633:
Lol I do get ya man I also get bored with my gadgets

Just a nature of the beast

I tried iphone 4 and was bored after a week

Android is new completely to me so I'm still having fun with roms and kernels, oh my :)

But I'm sure I'll get bored at some point I just hope gingerbread is out by then

I've not had stability issues though barring some mistakes I made as I learned how to properly flash roms
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EtherealRemnant:
If I can hold on til Gingerbread (provided the Evo has the horsepower to run it considering it has no dedicated graphics processor and Gingerbread recommends it) I might be fine... I guess one of the biggest annoyances for me is the difficulty in finding apps. The Market is a huge mess. On my berry, I search appworld for a term and it searches the description as well plus gives me options to organize by price, popularity, reviews, etc... Unless I am blind, there is no way I can do this with the Market...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jsimon9633:
Market

The market definitely sucks

I'm waiting for some real games to come to android too but I'm not that in need since I have my ipad for gaming not to mention my itouch

I do want facebook connected scrabble for android though and bejeweled blitz also with fb connect would alleviate these horrible games I see for android
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EliWay:
The Evo does have a dedicated graphics processor. In fact, the adreno GPU is quite capable for a mobile device. Games just need to be re-written to support it (Nova is an example of this, it used to run like crap, now runs beautifully). Sure it's not as powerful as the SGX series, but it's certainly not that underpowered.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jsimon9633:
Find it in market and download it

Its an alternative app store same apps but more easier ways to find them

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starplaya93:
I honestly don't see how you could possibly get bored... You have roms and kernels to last you days of flashing...

Like gambling? You can play Live Poker.

Like racing? You can play Asphalt

Like reading quotes, books and newspapers? theres an app for that.

Like porn? well who doesn't? There is even an app for that.

Craving some super mario or final fantasy? You have emulators.

Like listening to music? You have pandora and a bunch of other radios...

WTF MORE COULD YOU POSSIBLY WANT? Some people are just never satisfied.

like honestly...I just don't get it. If your having trouble finding a stable Rom try evios latest and use one of kings kernel. Im easily getting 15 hours on a single charge with moderate-heavy usage.

P.S the latest app thats been keeping me busy is Akinator. That sht is crazy!!! the first time I used it I literally dropped my phone.:D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brutal-Force:
^^^ What he said. Seriously, how many apps have you bought?

For your Battery Concerned, buy the 3500 Seidio Battery, you will never have issues again.

If after all of that, you may want to move to an isolated island for some Re-sensitizing. You have had too much for too long and your like a cheetah trying to chase 3 gazelles at one time. He will fail to catch all 3.

A phone is more of a tool than entertainment, and if you need to be THAT entertained, then you need a girlfriend or therapy.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EtherealRemnant:
I've heard that Asphalt doesn't run so well on the Evo along with many other Gameloft games. Where is this porn app you speak of? And yes I have emulators but without hard buttons they are a pain in the ass to use. Pandora's audio quality is **** on the Evo for whatever reason. I guess I'll try the evio rom and king's kernel. Akinator? I'll look it up.

One of my other *****es also is the fact that Titanium seems to not work with FroYo... it seems like every time I restore, apps start FCing. This is a major deal breaker since I have to reinstall all my apps every single time I flash a new ROM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superlinkx:
No kidding about iOS. I got completely bored with my iPod Touch after less than a year. Doesn't help that I realized Android was better for what I wanted early on, and now I just have a plain old Zune HD and couldn't be happier. Android gets boring once in a while, but I just wait for the next big Google announcement to keep it interesting.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superlinkx:
Asphalt 5 works pretty good on Froyo, if you do any graphics or other speed hacks it will run pretty darn good. Uno is lame because they haven't updated it for HD devices. NOVA rocks and their Golf game is really good too. Oh, and HAWX. Those are some serious games for Android, and you can buy them on your Sprint bill if you don't want to use a credit card. So I'd say Gameloft games run pretty good, especially after Froyo.

As for Titanium, I stopped using it a while ago. Even though its not as convenient, its usually better to just reinstall all your apps anyway. Use AppBrain to make the process faster. You just have it sync a list of all your apps, copy those apps to a backup list. Then you just install AppBrain on the new ROM, sync, if needed restore the backup list to the main list, sync again and hit Perform Installs. Then it rapidly goes through all the apps, letting you do one click installs (unless they have permissions, then its 2).

Nope not getting bored here, honestly battery life could be slightly better but it does last the whole day with moderate use.games play fine as well, like some one else said maybe not as.powerful as galaxy series, but its a.great phone.love it and enjoy it.if you can't why keep it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EtherealRemnant:
Thanks for the comments about the games. I'll check them out. The free Golf one does work pretty well though I do notice it lagging every now and then.

What you just said though is a big problem for me. When I use Titanium, it doesn't just back up the app but the more important part, the app's data. I never have to reconfigure anything after a Titanium restore which is a huge bonus considering I have like 50 apps that I swap out occasionally...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EtherealRemnant:

definitely not getting bored with it, coming from an old vogue my Evo is a hell of a lot more useful to me. Using netarchy's kernal with the stock ROM my battery life hasnt been bad at all either. You should also try swype if you havent, I just got it last night and I love it. Its amazing how accurate that thing is even though I always miss half the letters.

You know you could also learn some programming if you are getting bored with the apps that are out there. You get the satisfaction of creating it yourself plus you can make some money while you're at it.

I am the opposite. I unrooted recently. I became bored of constantly updating ROMs, restoring apps, backing up. As for FroYo being trash, I have never had a force close in anything stock, only sometimes when using a third party app.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EtherealRemnant:
I'll never understand why someone would unroot their phone instead of just going to the stock rooted ROM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
I almost started a thread a couple weeks ago about what an AMAZING technological marvel the EVO is. I am surprised how quickly I became used to having this phone, when it first came out I wad amazed that a device like this had finally made its way to the mainstream.

I hear what your saying. I get frustrated and a little bored when I hit a mental block learning how to hack this thingh, there is SO MUCH I sill want to learn but when you step back a second and put the EVO in perspective relative to pretty much any other device out there, the EVO O.W.N.S.

Ethereal, do this: get your BBs out and set them on a table next to your evo and just look at them and make a mental comparison. This device is really and truly revolutionary, but it is easy to forget that when you use the thing all day every day. You just get used to it's awesomeness being there even when you get bored with it.

Lastly, one thing I realized when I had my hero is these devices are not actually phones. These things are little bitty tablet computers that include phone hardware and software and are subsidized by phone companies.

We are living a revolution, live it up dude
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pao23:
I've only used either phones that could only basically make calls or WM phones, so I'd have to ask you what more could any other phone do then what Android/Evo can do?

Switching from an Evo because you're bored just means you're going to another phone that you'll be bored on correct? In the end all the phones can accomplish the same tasks, but between Android/Apple/BB, I'd say Android is the only one you can customize enough to call "You".

Glad you found App Brain, I was turned onto it before I even got my Evo and I was making lists to be installed for the minute it was in my hands.

Windows Mobile was much more customizable than Android is... I remember all the apps that were out that completely hid the underlying operating system, including my personal favorite, PointUI. It was a lot of fun tweaking Windows Mobile and it was pretty easy to do. Android... not so much.

I grabbed this along with the appbrain software :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pao23:
I said between Android/Apple/BB ;)

I know WM was customizable, I had two of them, but they were a hell of a lot more buggy for me, I haven't had any of the stability problems you're claiming to have, neither have the vast majority of posters on this forum. Do problems never boil down to user error, or is it always the phones/platforms problems?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EtherealRemnant:
The biggest issue I have is the browser freezing and the phone rebooting on certain sites... However, I changed to King's kernel and the problem seems to be gone. Flash is also a HELL of a lot faster on King's kernel too.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blacksuntzu:
The funny thing is I am new to android and came from webos. I love both systems and just love the EVO. That said; I have not been having any problems with stock 2.2 and I was rooted on 2.1 with no problems. I wiped my phone and flashed the stock 2.2 and never looked back. No reboots or crashing problems or anything...just a nice phone that does what I ask. I tend to agree if you want stability go to stock on a fresh wipe of the phone and have fun. Blackberry is so far behind the curve it isn't even funny and worrying about the battery is always funny. If it is that serious get a bigger battery. That is like driving a Viper and complaining about gas milage. Blackberrys are like a family sedan with maybe a V6. It works well but does not even close close to blowing any doors off.

Now you can yell at me....lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EtherealRemnant:
This phone is big enough without adding an extended battery that will only get at the most 60% of what it CLAIMS in the first place...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pao23:
I just installed King last night, but we were at a family thing all night so I haven't had a chance to get a feel for it yet. What flash heavy sites to you frequent that would give you problems?

I'll only add that there is not a single thing that any other phone can do within the rational parameters of what is expected of a phone that cannot be done on an Android unit. If you are bored, I challenge you to pick up a new hobby be it within the confines of phone tweaking or something else.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmomoman:
I did not read the entire thread that would be BORING! :)

What do you expect? A phone is functional and is a GADGET which in time will be the same GADGET with maybe a new app or ROM but it is still the same phone and in the end will always provide the same functionality as any other phone.

You are bored because it doesn't excite you like a first date? It's not stable because you have flashed multiple ROMS and wonder why it sometimes crashes? I have yet to have many issues on any ROM that I have flashed. The ones that gives me a hard time I just move on to the next ROM and its stable enough. I have not had any crashed with Baked, Fresh, Evio2 or AVA's. The minor glitches that were before FROYO's official release have mostly been resolved.

In regards to your blackberry lasting longer. DUH! What's the screen size? Flash? High Resolution TFT? Processing Power? I have the BOLD 9700 as well. If you just want to text and read a small screen then I expect it to last longer than my EVO running FROYO. Talk about boring.

I agree with some of the sentiment that people have posted.

Once you can accept that it is just a phone then you won't be bored when you are picking up a call or texting from it. As it served it's purpose for that moment and then you move on. If you want to play a game or two then by all means. I have a PC/XBOX/PS3 for my game needs. I have a large screen LCD for my Movie and TV and I have my G/F for other activities. My phone well it's just a phone.

Movies look amazing, with 4G Youtube and other flash videos work great. I discovered launcher pro a few weeks back and havent stopped customizing since. Every other day im changing the layout and icons on my phone. Only thing is the battery life of course could be better but i keep a charger at work so im good.
