[HTC Inspire 4G] Symmetric:
it's not old tech, take a look at the comparisons of the Inspire and the Evo 4G, it's clearly a new device in a similar casing

http://mobile.downloadatoz.com/comparision,htc-inspire-4g-vs-htc-evo-4g-black-sprint.html

I for one look forward to getting mine on (next) Monday. I love my captivate, but I love HTC more.
[HTC Inspire 4G] blperks2:
I have also been wondering if I should leave the captivate and jump to the Atrix or Inspire. I am always one for the latest and greatest so I was leaning towards the Atrix or holding out for another 2 core phone. After reading a lot and browsing these pages I just about want to go for the inspire. Man do I hate decisions!! :-)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Kiserai:
After having a Nexus One I'm sold on HTC hardware. I'm going to get the Inspire and love it...at least until HTC releases something better.

However, since I think it will be months before HTC releases another compelling phone on AT&T, I'll be alright with that. The minute you buy technology it's already outdated, and either you can get used to that idea or you can spend exorbitant amounts of money trying to keep up.

I'll get the Inspire for $99 and use the money I save on it (plus the money I get from flipping my Nexus One) to get a tablet this spring. Can't wait for the first HTC Honeycomb tablet!
[HTC Inspire 4G] legend221:
If Sony Ericsson is saying the Arc is their top tier phone well then the Inspire 4G is really not all that outdated and irrelevant.

Sure its not a dual-core behemoth but from what the early reviewers have said is with the specs it will have when its released, the smartphone is fast and responsive.

Check out my other thread on the similarties to the Arc and other Snapdragon phones and will see that with overclocking, bootloader and rom support this can potentially turn into a dual core beast performace wise.

What can you buy nowadays for $99 anyways, not even a burnt out everyday iPhone or extremely outdated Blackberry.

At least with the Inspire you know right away that potentially all the hard work and Devlopment from the Desire HD thread can be carried over to us.

The Inspire 4G will stay active for a good while in my opinion, I can atest to HTC quality since I still own the phone that started it all the HTC Dream / G1.

This phone has been dropped on concrete, slammed againt walls, thrown around like a bad habit and is still going strong and even have a fast/ stable version of Froyo 2.2.1 with apps2sd enabled and running with zero issues. This phone was only offically updated til 1.6 Donut from HTC and T-Mobile yet the incredible xda community has kept it going and left all who own it satisfied.

That to me is a prime example of what HTC quality, xda support and those out there with the potential to make a good phone great in the Months and Years ahead.

Check out the Samsung and Sony forums those guys are truly regretting their purchases from barely a few months ago while I'm still content from a phone from 2008.

Proof positive that this purchase will be a smart one from whomever takes a chance on it when its released to the public.

[HTC Inspire 4G] ekerbuddyeker:
One thing I like about the captivate is the camera. It takes great outdoor photos. Generally htc cameras have been poor. I am also concerned about that battery. I had an hd2 and needed 3 cautious to get through a high use day.
[HTC Inspire 4G] legend221:
Im sure they will come out with an aftermarket battery, in the meanwhile you have to have setup strategically placed chargers where you frequent.

Pretty much with any smartphone nowadays you have to do this already.

The HD2 does not have the same CPU, this is good as the newer generation Snapdragons which consume less power.
[HTC Inspire 4G] seanfinn:
In getting the inspire...so over atrix now..thnx att for ruining this for us...just sucks about the battery...will dhd battery work in inspire? I've seen some 1500 aftermarket battery's for it. I can't wait to see how smooth cm7 runs on her compared to my aria
[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
post a link to this 1500 battery if you can - to my knowledge the only official/credible extended batteries for this DHD max out at 1300.
[HTC Inspire 4G] seanfinn:
Yeah in sure there not HTC made batteries..but there's alot on eBay
[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
From the DHD forum people have posted stories in which the 'extended' battery advertised as 1500 lasted significantly less than the stock bat. There were also some posts from people where the replacement battery destroyed their phone.

Reading that was enough to only make me purchase from a reputable source. Check out some of the comments as well under the ebay/amazon listings in which people bought the battery and reported it what nowhere near the capacity it claimed to be.
[HTC Inspire 4G] seanfinn:
Ok thnx man..guess ill have to wait for HTC to release one
[HTC Inspire 4G] seanfinn:
Btw ..what's the price of inspire w/o contract?
[HTC Inspire 4G] PsylockeSmythe:
None of the AT&T stores around here will confirm an off contract price and have just told me to call them back on Sunday.

Radio Shack has it for $449.99 off contract price.

Psy
[HTC Inspire 4G] seanfinn:
Thnx! I looked online on radioshack..is that an instore price?
[HTC Inspire 4G] PsylockeSmythe:
I pretty sure they don't have the Inspire on their website yet. I was actually in a store on Sunday and was able to confirm the off contract price that way. I'll also be stopping by there tonight to preorder mine for Sunday pickup.

Psy
[HTC Inspire 4G] seanfinn:
Thank u..can u preorder the phone without contract? I'm kinda worried about it selling out on sunday
[HTC Inspire 4G] magnumforce2006:
I just did this today. It was $449.99 and I'm still getting the free gift card.
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
I'm sold. I'm leaving sprint when the Inspire comes out. Thats for the info. I love HTC. I know this phone will be rooted about 30 minutes after it comes out. lol

Atrix data issue

Use the sweet Atrix doc with your Netflix app to watch streaming HD video with a 4Gig Data allowance. people might be in for a surprise when the bill comes at the end of the month..
[HTC Inspire 4G] matt_b:
i will always go for htc over other phone manufacturers. htc has great support for their phones and seem to actually give half a crap.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ryan_west88:
ok... so i was flashing my phone and my cat knocked my phone off the table and disconnected it during to process of uploading android nand to my phone, i did all the pre required steps and was on the final step of flashing the android os to the phone, when this happened, no when i try to start the phone it loads thru magldr1.11 and trys to boot up android, which was not fully installed, goes to a grey screen that says DFT, and reboots after maybe 30 seconds, plz help, is my phone doomed, or is there a way to save it, plz give me a hand it is much needed as i use my personal phone for work
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
Try this:

power up phone -> while phone is pwering up hold power button -> MAGLDR menu will show up -> Select and go to USB flasher -> Flash your NAND rom

If that doesn't work you can try reinstall MAGLDR then your android build. However I recommend you doing it like this:

power up phone while holding vol down -> tri color screen or what we call bootloader, will appear -> plug phone into computer and wait until you see SERIAL change to USB at bottom of HD2 screen -> perform a task 29 (search it up you'll find it) -> After task 29 is done, power up phone into bootloader/tri color screen (If you can't get to it at first, and you see your phone stuck on the booting up screen, soft reset or pull out and put back in the battery and try get into bootloader mode again) -> flash MAGLDR -> flash NAND rom

Those should work. Anyways, your phone should never get software bricked since it has HSPL on.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ryan_west88:
man that worked like a charm, thanks much man
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bogdatov:
I like to try new ROMs and my ringtones are all on SD card. 2 problems.

1. Although Contacts get synced with Google just fine, ringtone for contact does not get synced. Is there any fix or program for that ?

2. Seems to be that after syncing Contacts with Google all contact's pictures look blurred. Like they lost resolution. Any idea for fixing that ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] azncoolprince:
Only when you sync with outlook the picture would not be fuzzy. Don't know about the contact's ringtones.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HectiQ:
Resync a few times for image. If you have many ppl it will not sync all at once.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bogdatov:
They resync fine. It is just pictures are blurry. I really do not want to go Outlook route - too many problems with duplicates. At least that has been like that with WM
[Captivate General] grave101:
I've been having this really annoying problem lately, where apps just refuse to finish downloading whenever I'm on 3G. They usually go to maybe 25% or so, then just stop there. I can even have full bars and that happens to me.

Whats weird though is that my internet is just as fast as it should be, especially when I use the browser or anything that involves surfing the internet. I've tried many different roms and no matter what I still get this problem. When I'm on WiFi though the apps update or download just fine.

Anyone know of a fix/ have come across this problem as well?
[Captivate General] cavsoldier19d:
Since you tried different roms, that would rule out most software issues. Have you tried deleting and reinstalling market? Have you flashed it back to stock and did a master clear? Could possibly be a hardware issue? If its still under warranty, I would flash it back to stock and see about trading it in.
[Captivate General] grave101:
I haven't tried flashing back to stock because I figured, like you said, it may be a hardware issue. But its weird that its only affecting the market though
[Captivate General] cavsoldier19d:
You never know...its worth a shot. And another thing...if you are performing backups through Titianium Backup...are you backing up and restoring system data? That has also known to cause problems.
[Captivate General] cavsoldier19d:
The route I would take to troubleshoot this...I would do a flash back to stock and master clear. And do absolutely nothing else to it, just for troubleshooting purposes. That way you know you are starting on a stock fresh clean slate. Get logged into the market and test. If it continues to do it, I would do a warranty exchange. If it fixes it, then you know you have something going on with your configuration or maybe corrupt data.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
I have this problem on Wifi when I use the Bill to Account method of payment. If I use my credit card billing, there is no issue. If I want a smooth app purchase from Market using the Bill to method I have to go via 3G. Might not be related, but thought I'd mention it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] manacho:
$20 to your door unless you are international.

thanks,

[EVO 4G Accessories] zedmay:
How can I order one?
[EVO 4G Accessories] tauzins:

[EVO 4G Accessories] imagitech:
Pm me with info. Is this for the vibrant?
[EVO 4G Accessories] manacho:
I don't know how to PM. But I only have one, so you are the first guy. If you PM me when can work it out.

thanks.
[EVO 4G Accessories] oxxomxxo:
case and holster, or just the case?
[EVO 4G Accessories] manacho:
Just the case. No holster. This case is for the HTC Evo.
[EVO 4G Accessories] tke0834:
Commuter is only a case, The defender has the holster.
[EVO 4G Accessories] manacho:
I still have this available if anyone is interested. I'll remember to check my PM's

thanks,

Lucas
[EVO 4G Accessories] manacho:
I have one left.
[Droid X General] buckweet:
My wife has a completely stock Droid X and she always has the weirdest issues with her phone with it locking up, freezing or hanging up..

Sometimes the phone recovers, other times it needs to be rebooted manually.

Is this a known issue with this phone?? I have the HTC incredible and have no issues like this.
[Droid X General] blueis300:
I havent had a problem or heard of this. Is she under warranty and get it swapped out? If not has she tried to do a wipe/factory reset? While off hold the power and menu key at the same time. A screen will come up. press the search button. Use the volume keys to scroll up and down. Go to wipe/factory reset and press the camera button.
[Droid X General] Casen:
My wife has a stock D2, and it sometimes likes to open up the voice search, or she will be typing a text message, and the g key will open the browser to google.com, or just randomly freeze up..... Maybe women have a different body chemistry that acts like a mini EMP that just destroys all electronics.... Everything electronic she has ever owned has major problems, yet mine last years........
[Droid X General] deitiphobia:
Droid X freezing - having to battery pull.

I've been having similar issues with my Droid X. It will randomly, and often, lock up for a while, then come back to life usually. It's really annoying if your browsing the web and all the sudden the phone freezes for 20-30 seconds.

When it freezes completely, it will just freeze and the screen will remain on. I have to then pull off my protective cover and battery pull to reboot.

Battery pulls happen about once every 2-3 days. Freezes that recover are happening 5 or 6 times a day if not more.

The brief time I had the phone on stock, the issue was occuring. I ignored it and figured surely this won't happen after I root it. I'm now running latest Liberty ROM and it's still happening. Problem definately gets worse if I overclock. I'm wondering if the CPU can't even handle 1000 Mhz and needs to be underclocked just so this thing can run stable.

I'm going to test that out and see if the weird freezing and force closes go away. But it will suck loosing speed.

I unfortunately can't return my phone as I bought it used on Craigslist.
[Droid X General] ksizzle9:
Its likely due to the fact that the stock Droid x firmware sucks a load of ass. The factory blur is perhaps the biggest waste of time I've ever seen. I've had both my dinc and fascinate and x since launch day and the only remedy I've found to stop the x from doing this is flash livery. Only way to fix it at all.
[Droid X General] angryjello:
Yeah man sounds like you have a bad device. If a data wipe/reset wont do it you must have a have bad device . Go back where you got it and ask for an exchange
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Before reading all of this....note that this is just me providing a POTENTIAL explanation of why some people's phones seem to reboot more than others... this is not a generalization for all... It may not apply to you...

I think that random reboots (especially often) are related to potentially bad hardware, not being on the 2.3.34 OTA update...or user error (don't get mad, please let me explain this part!). I found that after moving off of 2.3.15 OTA that my phone was much more stable.

I notice from back when I first had my Droid X that I went crazy loading up lots of apps, and throwing widgets all over my home screens... I had custom themes flashed and lots of other stuff. While yes, blur does suck up more system resources than custom ROM's without it... you can run a phone with Blur without constant reboots.

The more apps that you have on the phone (even if not running) eat up resources. Along with that, the more widgets or notifications you have on your homescreens, the more resources that the phone is chewing through... With that said, you can SEEM to not be running anything on the phone, but the widgets in the background process' can be using up precious memory that cause the phone to lag or reboot.

Like I said at the beginning, if you don't have a lot of extra widgets and programs loaded, then yes, I would say that really sucks that your phone reboots. Moto's way of handling a resource issue (in most cases RAM)... is to reboot the phone to clear memory.

If you happen to have a lot loaded on your phone...try not to use a lot of widgets, and cut back on some un-needed apps... See if the phone reboots as often. Again, this is not me blaming anyone for their phone rebooting, simply my understanding of technology from personal experience.
[Streak 5 General] alex_herrero:
Honestly, I'm more than dissapointed! I waited more than 3 weeks for the Streak from Dell, and when it finally arrived, the internal box WAS EMPTY!

I'm calling Dell's customer support AS I type this, and 25 minutes later, after giving all my details to 2 different foreign reps, they still do not tell me anything about this! :(

:confused:
[Streak 5 General] pappyfire:
When mine came, the micro SD card was missing. I called Dell and they did not give me any hassle at all, they shipped me a replacement - no problem.
[Streak 5 General] alex_herrero:
Well, after speaking almost an hour over the phone, they seem to be sending me the phone for real next week... I'm wondering how they're sending it in less than 7 days while my original order took almost a month... :confused:
[Streak 5 General] RussianSolja:
Ouch. Thats a bummer. I would get on dell's butt about this issue. I know the feeling believe me.
[Streak 5 General] p00kienrayray:
Lol! Wow sorry that happened to u, but that thats perhaps the funniest thing ive heard in a while. I would argue for dell to throw in something like accessories. Worth a shot.
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
Somebody in a warehouse somewhere got themselves a free Streak, it happens.
[Streak 5 General] alex_herrero:
I actually can't believe it. I thought this only happens in my own country, not in the US. Ok, call me naive now and you'll be right... :(
[Streak 5 General] Krad:
It has happened to me countless times... In one job I used to be in charge of cell phone and smartphone distribution for my company workforce. I would need a replacement or a new phone once or twice a week. Every once in a while I would get a box with nothing in it. I would have to call tmobile, att, and ups to complain. I used to be very friendly with the theft prevention guy at my local UPS plant.

It takes someone .5 seconds to slit the packaging tape, steal, re-tape and put back on the belt.

I haven't seen this yet with computers.. but i have seen articles where people have gotten bricks in ps3 boxes..
[Streak 5 General] BrokenPixel:
That's OK, Best Buy sells the iBrick too, go check

http://www.iphonesavior.com/2009/04...s-large-brick-inside-new-macbook-pro-box.html

and it cost that person $2100 only
[Streak 5 General] The Jack of Clubs:
ha. i never heard of such a thing happening. someone didnt notice that the shipping was unusually cheap as there was no weight?
[Streak 5 General] p00kienrayray:
Whats even crazier is knowing how easy it would be if someone wanted another product. Just call up the ups/company and say u got bricks. Lol!
[Streak 5 General] Foxhoundep3:
hahaha, yup

yeah you should call dell and ask for an accessory
[Streak 5 General] alex_herrero:
Sure, but they don't have anything in stock. 2 weeks for a spare USB cable? Unbelievable! They are still trying to figure out when I'm going to receive my Streak (I hope for real this time)...
[Streak 5 General] alex_herrero:
Well, 9 days after the "empty delivery", there is no clue about when the device is arriving, shipping, or even produced (if ever). I even escalated the issue, called more than 15 times, chatted, spoke to reps in spanish, english, even offered to speak in russian if that helped, but no luck, no product, no nothing.

This is far beyond a product cancelation. Who will pay for the hours and money spent calling them?

Just UNBELIEVABLE... :(
[Streak 5 General] Krad:
that sucks dood. I feel bad for you. What really doesn't surprise me is that if you had a business account and an account manager, you probably would have had one in 3 days. They will always fight or push for something to get done to satisfy their clients. But there is no one there for the average consumer.

Have you tried escalating as far as you can go? did you ask to speak to someone in North America?

Believe it or not, i still think the streak is worth the fight. Or why don't you just dispute the charge with your credit card, show them timestamps of when you called and how you tried to get assistance. You might probably have a better chance of getting your money back faster then getting a streak.

I also think that the latest price drops was an indication like the adamo line.. to discount to get rid of remaining supplies and stocks before it gets discontinued.
[Streak 5 General] alex_herrero:
Thanks for your comments.

I have already escalated, and someone cancelled the order placed by someone from:

I did speak with many reps from USA, Latin America, and everywhere. My order was placed in the USA site. I don't know what else to do, honestly... I'll try my last chat with Dell...
[Streak 5 General] Krad:
call up the business side and tell them you want to start a business account however you have this issue that needs to be resolved first. If that gets resolved asap you will make an account. They will jump through hoops
[Streak 5 General] alex_herrero:
Nice one, didn't think of that!

Anyway, I escalated once again. Let's see how the end of the day comes...
[Streak 5 General] falgun:
Next thing you can try is just call up your credit card company that you used to buy the streak and go through them. They got a department and if not satisfied they do do a good job of helping. Just explain and they should help. At the least you get a credit then you can just go to best buy or order one again through the business side.
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
Have you filed a claim with the shipping company?
[Streak 5 General] alex_herrero:
I'll try that approach. Tx!
[Streak 5 General] alex_herrero:
mmm, no, I bought it in dell, their shipping process should be transparent for the end user...
[Streak 5 General] xexes:
IMHO you should definitely file a claim with the shipping company as it is 99% certain that's where the theft occurred...

It's really bad that someone in Dell cancelled your replacement order... what a bummer.

But I agree... the streak is worth it so pls continue to fight.

Or alternatively, get a refund from dell or credit card company and then order a new one from eBay... that's where I got mine and it's great.

Just some thoughts... hope you get this sorted out. I know how frustrating dealing with bureaucracy can be.
