Looks very much like a successor to the Incredible. No word on specs yet, no front facing camera :(, but the back looks like a redesigned INC. What do you guys think?
[Droid Incredible General] jaykresge:
Not hard to figure out. The current Incredible is based off the HTC Desire platform with minor tweaks (higher MP camera with 720P, 8GB internal, better touch sensor). The "Desire 2" is being unveiled at Mobile World Congress (MWC), which takes place in Barcelona during February 14-17. There's a leaked shot of a Verizon-branded version of the same phone, which means this will likely be the successor to the Incredible. The Incredible hits end of life on March 31, so expect the successor to launch around that date, up to 2 weeks before or after.

As for specs, you can expect a 2nd gen Snapdragon (MSM 8255 in the Desire 2, 8655 in the Incredible 2) at 1ghz, 768MB of RAM, and it to be a 3G only device (no 4G, no FCC). Anyway, check back after they announce it to see how close I was. I have no sources, this is just speculation, but my track record on these things is fairly decent.
[Droid Incredible General] setexascustoms:
^ Makes sense, but...

I'm hoping for the dual-core Snapdragon seen at CES. And why would they do a Desire 2 with the second gen Snapdragon when that's what the Desire HD has? Wouldn't be much of an advancement. I can certainly live without the front facing camera if we can get that kind of power, but I'm sure this is very preproduction so who knows. I'm thinking if this does come to market it will be later than suggest above, why release a device so similar to the Thunderbolt at the same time with less features (and to replace Verizons flagship phone from HTC)? It does resemble the Incredible, I'm hoping for the best. :D

Edit: And as far as specs, I'm hoping to see 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon, 1Gb of RAM, LTE, and despite what the device shown has, a front facing camera (a higher resolution screen would be nice too).
[Droid Incredible General] packerjd04:
Looks nice and clean. The white/silver outline looks a little meh to me, but maybe that is just a case? Either way an upgraded Incredible would be cool, but I still might opt for the Thunderbolt over that..
[Droid Incredible General] g00s3y:
Yeah I was really hoping for a front facing camera. This will make me lean much more towards the Thunderbolt now, 4G + FFC. was never too big on the screen size, but I don't mind an extra 0.7" of screen.
[Droid Incredible General] jaykresge:
I think this is meant to be the mid-range, with the Thunderbolt being their high-end device. I also don't think the dual-core Snapdragon is ready for a consumer device launched prior to the summer.
[Droid Incredible General] setexascustoms:
It just seems to me that because the Incredible was a high end device when it came out, if they replace it with an Incredible 2 it will continue to be a high end device. And as I mentioned, I imagine it will be release later (certainly not before summer). Look how long it's been since we first saw leaks of the Thunderbolt, and we're just now (CES) getting any solid info on it. I think that if this is in fact an Incredible 2, it will be released considerably later than the Thunderbolt and replace it as HTC's flagship for Verizon. Just my thoughts of course. :rolleyes:
[Droid Incredible General] Smokeey:
Why does everyone put FCC? Don't you mean NFC?

Sent from God, who uses Virtuous 3.2
[Droid Incredible General] packerjd04:
FFC = Front Facing Camera if I'm not mistaken, not the FCC.
[Droid Incredible General] Smokeey:
I saw FCC and FFC...I think we are all confused now. Damn.
[Droid Incredible General] Greeve440:
I hope they call it the incredible-er.
[Droid Incredible General] jaykresge:
Was a typo on my part, meant FFC (front-facing camera). I didn't want to edit my post due to the claims that I made.
[Droid Incredible General] packerjd04:
Yeah no big deal though, I think we all get it now hah. Honestly I didn't know what NFC was until I looked it up, first thing I thought was football :p
[Droid Incredible General] palomosan:
It looks like it has a front facing camera, I doubt they'll release the Inc 2 and not include a front facing camera.

It's just as sexy as my Dinc, look at that hump.:)
[Droid Incredible General] Nunoriffitti:
Any word on the release date ?
[Droid Incredible General] laxer3n7:
VZ needs a refreshed 3.5-3.7" phone so I'm hoping that this is released sooner rather than later.
[Droid Incredible General] jaykresge:
No official release date, and we won't know until the unveiling, which takes place on Feb 14-17th. Since the Incredible's end of life is March 31, I'd say the "Incredible 2" launches in the March 15 - April 15 time fame.
[Droid Incredible General] g00s3y:
i'd like a 3.9" screen, 4.3 is a bit big to me, but the incredible seems like it could be just a tad bigger. I say 3.9" because I don't want it to be like a samsung :rolleyes:
[Droid Incredible General] Nunoriffitti:
Thanks for the info, hopefully it will launch with gb. Sorry to sound stupid i'm a noob...lol

Just started flashing cm7 nightlies but still cant hear sounds of view video for MMS. Flashed 7-14 no luck...anyone have this issue with the HTC Incredible ?
[Droid Incredible General] SheerazRaza:
This phone has a dual LED which cannot be seen on HTC incredible. But many features are resembling it towards the great incredible.

Just read the LED part here: http://www.geekword.net/htc-button-less-smartphone/
[Droid Incredible General] baileyjs:
sounds like unlimited data plans are going to be a thing of the past. I've been sitting on mine even though I could save some money going to one of their smaller plans thinking that once the unlimited plans are eliminated I could keep it being grandfathered access. Unfortunately I think Verizon has covered themselves pretty good as it looks like they are splitting 3g and 4g plans thus successfully eliminating anyone from holding their plan because soon 3g will be gone. :(
[Droid Incredible General] g00s3y:
3G will still be around for quite some time. Verizon doesn't plan to have nationwide 4G until 2013 at the earliest. The plans are what are going to make everyone unhappy. But sadly every company will soon be moving to tiered data plans :mad:
[Droid Incredible General] jaykresge:
My preference for wireless data is pay per use, but given the fluctuating demand with a consistent supply, this isn't feasible to manage. So, I'm ok with tiered plans for now, provided that they allow for multiple devices. Right now I'm paying AT&T $30/month for my wife's unlimited data, Verizon $10/month for my unlimited data (promo, normally $30), and Comcast $53/month for my cable internet. Between the three accounts I pay $93/month and use on average 7GB/month.

Verizon's current LTE plan that would suit me is $80/month for 10GB, with $10/GB overage. If I could have that plan and have it work for my home (wireless receiver/router), and any phones on my account (would move the wife over to Verizon now that they offer the iPhone), then I would be ok with this. So in conclusion, I'm ok with tiered data so long as we get some convergence on the devices that use it.
[Droid Incredible General] overclockxp:
I'm wondering when sprint will be dropping their unlimited data plan. Hopefully never.

[Droid Incredible General] smtom:
Get it while you can

I switched to this plan in December 2010.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=837739

Rep I spoke to said I could keep this plan until I decided to change plans, or left Verizon - I can keep this plan & rates regardless of future tiered data pricing. I asked that very question and got confirmation that my plan is set until I change it, irrespective of future tweaks to data and other VZW plans.

I did this for that exact reason - as a hedge against tiered pricing in the future.

If you can still get it, it sure seems worthwhile. I'd keep calling until you get it.

hth
[Droid Incredible General] baileyjs:
yea but the problem is they're splitting plans for 3g and 4g. This will obviously be considered a 3g plan thus we're out of luck once 3g is irrelevant or the phone we want is only 4g
[Droid Incredible General] Ed Zachary:
According to VZW's announcement re: getting the iPhone, they say that the iPhone will enjoy an unlimited data plan "just like all their other smartphones."
[Droid Incredible General] erack:
Tech sites report that will only be available for a limited time.

Not sure if this only applies to iPhones only or all smartphones.
[Droid Incredible General] snellc001:
I was able to get this plan for all 4 of my family plan lines. Nice savings and, according to the customer service reps I spoke with, I will be able to keep this deal indefinately unless I choose to make a plan change.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amosher13:
what launcher? restart your launcher if its LP or something, otherwise reboot your phone and give it a good 5-7 minutes to boot fully. you should see them, this happens to me sometimes with LP.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decalex:
none of your apps show? or just some missing? .. yes, would need to know launcher you're using.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jlabonte:
I received the OTA update for my T-Mobile MyTouch 3G a few days ago, and it is slow now. I downloaded OSMoniotr and there is a process "applypatch" that is always running at 80% to 95% CPU on my phone, and it is killing performance.

What is this program and how do I kill it or reduce its load on the system?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bmspizzi:
Applypatch always running consuming all available CPU

Has anybody looked into this issue? I have Fender MyTouch 3G and it has the same problem after I received the 2.2 upgrade, applypatch always running, consuming all available CPU. Is this a bug with the OTA install, and is there a fix for this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
You can always do a data wipe and manually re-install the OTA from the stock recovery. Seems to help with sluggish phones after the update, did for me anyways.

What i miss is the support for ultrabright flashlight for example with n1 torch

i also want trackball alerts like in enoms rom.

is these things possible to get yet ?

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obsy:
Of course, you have and torch and trackball alerts!

Just noticed this in the Epic's Device Known Issue within Sprint

Description:

If a user tries to access flash content while browsing the internet, they may see a message like "Missing License Key" where the content would normally be displayed and in extreme cases, they may experience a browser crash.

The Samsung Epic 4G does not support flash at this time. It will be included in a future MR. Timing on the MR is still TBD but should release in 4Q2010.
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
well, we all kmow that didnt happen...
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
Actually 4Q2010 isn't over until end of business day 1/31/2011, so they still have some time to try not to be a big bunch of liars. LOL!

They said 4Q, but what they were really saying was "Four Q".
[Epic 4G General] raylusk:

[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
The 4th quarter does not end till the end of the fiscal year, which is end of business day 1/31/2011.

Q1 Feb thru April

Q2 May thru July

Q3 Aug thru October

Q4 November thru January
[Epic 4G General] JettMartinez:
Every company has their own fiscal year. My compant matches the calender year. Many companies it ends/starts in October. I've never seen the breakdown you're showing, maybe that's when they release their earnings statements?
[Epic 4G General] edonnelly:
Both Sprint and Samsung follow a Jan-Dec. fiscal year.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
This is my company's and Googles fiscal year also. I assumed most company's followed the same pattern.

Q1 Feb thru April

Q2 May thru July

Q3 Aug thru October

Q4 November thru January

either way unless they pull a rabbit out their pants it aint gonna happen by the 31st, if it was that close chances are we would have concrete proof, companies that large leak like a mother...

I would love to be proven wrong tho.....:D
[Epic 4G General] leatherneck6017:
Retailers are generally the only ones with a fiscal year ending 1/31. They do this so they capture after x-mas sales at the end of their tax year. That's not to say that you can't have a fiscal year ending at any point you want, July for example. It's up to the company to elect.
[Epic 4G General] raylusk:
Well they didn't say 4th quarter of their fiscal year. They said 4th quarter of 2010 which clearly ends on 12/31/2010.

[Epic 4G General] Darkk69:
You have to remember the updates via OTA takes time. It could be they might roll it out later on in the week in stages. There are millions of Epics out there and image if they roll it out at once and borks half of them the call center would be overwhelmed with calls.

So they rather just send out in batches at a time to see how the roll outs are working.
[Epic 4G General] mxcoldhit:
I don't want this to sound rude. Its not intended to be. Samsung sold approximately 4 million Galaxy S devices in North America. That includes the USA, Canada, and the other countries combined. Of those 4 million, just in the USA, you have 4 variants. Now the little ole Epic numbers aren't quite that large. If they were rolling out updates, it wouldn't take to long. Unless Sprint rolls them out to 20 of us at a time.

It's sad, Samsung doesn't care and Sprint is so worried about its customer satisfaction that they don't want to release an update without it being prefect. I want the update as bad as everyone else. Im just not going to get a Samsung handset ever again.

My desire had Remix HD rom flashed on it. One day suddenly it shuts off and wont get past the HTC screen. I flash it again with complete wipe and it works fine again. the a few days later the same thing happened

then I flashed it with a stock RUU and it got updated to hboot .93 :(

Now after somedays same thing happens but this time it won't even boot and no response to charging or anything.

Gave to the service center they said if they change a part it makes it boot but it won't go past the HTC screen and as its not from India (its an orange branded desire) so we can't help sorry. If i get the part changed its no guarantee that i can make it work again and it cost 8500 INR .

Now i get back home connect it to my laptop and it responds to the charging! the light turns on but the screen is still blank. i turn it on and it vibrates but screen is blank tried back+power still black screen

Now is there anyway i can recover the device? is it possible that they (the HTC service center people) forgot to connect the lcd back or something?

Great app i like this interface a lot especially after last update

this is my suggestions for improvements so far...

-I would like to see the option to hide applications in the "appdrawer"

- Needs folders ( in the squares, it would look nice if the folder looked like the home screen so that you push the folder square and get to an page whith more squares). sorry for my bad English, hope you understand what i mean...

- would be nice to be able to resize and rearrange the squares

- also more custom icons

later on I would like to see an lockscreen in the same theme and perhaps the ability to place widgets in the squares but thats not important at the moment

but as i said in the beginning , great app i will follow this closely
[Android Apps and Games] tigger-gg:
Verry nice, great work!

I agree.

I agree.

- maybe a little more documentation how to configure

- use widgets
