I'm running 2. 2 stock and noticed Sprint navigation is now a lite version and for the turn by turn its 9. 99 a month. What's up with that

your wrong, thats what, haha.
IDC if it says its 9.99, subscribe and you will not get charged anyway.
sprint nav glitch's out like that all the time on new phones, new updates and hard resets.
Uhh, why are you using Sprint Navigation? Google's Navigation is, IMO (and the opinioin of EVERYONE I talk to) far superior, and guaranteed free.
Search Google--this problem hit a bunch of people, including me. Suddenly my mac was 2.8 Lite just when I needed traffic (Thu). It's fixed itself since, although it might have the power cycles I did Friday to get USB tether working.
As for why Sprint Nav vs Google-live traffic, better route options.

Sprint nav has been more accurate for me. I used both to visit a friend in Arlington and noticed the directions were different at the very end to get to his house. I followed google nav directions but it just sent me in a circle. Switched back to Sprint nav and it took me to the house no problems.
Your mileage may vary, and it's probably dependent on location. The subdivision that I went to was fairly new, maybe 6-7 years old.

Thanks for all the feedback, Sprint navigation did go back to normal, not sure why or what triggers the lite version to show up. My wifes Evo and mine did it the same time I found it weird they both did it together. I have tried Google maps its nice and all. But I'm not ready for change i like sprints version and I'm use to it. It took me awhile to like android. I still miss my Windows phone and if Sprint have a phone with 4+ inch screen with Windows 6. 5 id take it. I don't like a lot of change. Although I do love my evo

What is everyone looking at as an upgrade? or is there anything even worth considering currently?
Epic touch 4g, phone is straight beast
Nothing compelling to me. I am sticking where I am.
I'm cancelling Sprint at the end of this month. In a few months I'll probably buy a Sprint Samsung Gravity S2 from ebay, root it, and port it to Boost mobile.
I'm not upgrading until HTC releases a phone with ics and lte.

Got a photon and epic touch to play with, probably gonna keep the epic touch though and sell the photon. I love my EVO but I feel like its limits have almost been pushed to the max when it comes to sense roms. 3.0 is nice, but lag and lack of RAM are a major downer. Haven't had a chance to try 3.5, and I probably won't unless they somehow get 4g

I'm still waiting for something perfect to come along to make me give up on my Evo. There are features from the 3VO, Photon, and the ET4G that I wish I could combine into a super phone. Evo ain't broke, so don't fix it or get locked into another contract yet. Upcoming Prime is very intriguing (even though we don't really know much yet or even if it will be on Sprint at launch).

From some of the threads I've read the prime will be exclusive to Verizon, at least for a little while
Edit: looks like Sprint may be getting it afterall.

Sticking where I am for now, next year there will be a phone that is better than the
Samsung and Photon.
I actually switched to an Epic 4g touch for a week...absolutely loved the display and speed, but there were so many little problems I ended up taking it back and going back to the Evo... Main problems were bluetooth issues (with my car), wifi not connecting/staying connected to my router, and occasionally disconnecting from the cell network (requiring a restart of the phone). In addition, the signal strength seemed to be nowhere near as good on either wifi or the cell network vs the Evo. Maybe after a software update or two it will be worth the switch, but for now, I'm back on my old reliable Evo...it "just works".

That's the problem, even if you buy the latest and greatest, as soon as you get it there is a bigger and better phone out.

Considering this month we have some nice phones being released on Verizon, I would suspect many of you will be upgrading to something new.
What will you be doing with your Incredible? Trading or selling? If so, what did it go for and by what means?

I have to keep mine for a bit unless I buy the Rezound outright (which I'm sure is going to happen ), but I think I'm going to just keep it for sentimental reasons even when replaced. This Dinc is my first foray into the smartphone world.
The phone is giving me no true reason to replace it either. It just keeps doing what it is supposed to do/needed.
I totally understand as my Inc is my first smartphone as well. I just need a a phone with a bigger screen and headphones will be nice too .
I have an AMOLED and my gf has an LCD Inc so I'm sure one of them will be sold. Just not sure how much and where to sell.
Sent from my Inc HD
there's a marketplace right here on xda where you can probably get a fair deal from this community
I read the Incredible still has a value of anywhere from $50-100...AMOLED versions at least~ Don't quote me
Samsung Omnia was my first smartphone....garbage, and then this came and blew everything away.
I will be keeping my AMOLED Incredible, especially since Samsung did a huge Music Video on its AMOLED technology, so I can sport that haha - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EirK6cD-s0c&feature=related
Unless they have some breakthroughs in battery technology with these new phones, I refuse to be easily swooned into switching. With light/medium usage, I'm getting 1-2 days of battery life, and considering the Incredible can still run every single app/game that I personally want to use flawlessly, I desire battery life over other stats.
When that sad day comes, I'll probably either sell it, give it to my wife if she wants it, or keep it to play with.
I feel no great need to switch. My phone works great.
Sure the other things sound good, but mine works exactly the way I want it to. Then again, every phone I have had I have had for longer than the average phone user because I do not like switching them.
It better be going for a couple years you get it.
-Dual core? I don't need no stinking dual core!-
I can't wait to upgrade come January (when my upgrade is). Not that I don't love my inc, but getting a front-facing camera, higher resolution screen, better CPU, more RAM is all very appealing to me. Probably going with the Galaxy Nexus, but with the way VZW has been playing with us, who knows when it will actually be released here
EDIT: Never actually answered the OP's question. I'll probably be selling it whether here on XDA, Swappa, or ebay. I have an AMOLED Inc in great condition (been kept in a case for its whole life) and a 1500 mah HTC battery. I hope to get somewhere around $125 for it, I think it's worth it.
I had an OG Droid--but it's lacking in RAM. It seems like it gets slower every day.
I didn't want to spend money on buying a Galaxy Nexus at full retail, (my phone upgrade isn't available until April).
So, I bought a used Droid Inc--rooted it, installed Condemned on it, and love it. This is a nice phone.
EDIT: Oh yeah, I'll probably give it to my sister or mom when I get a new phone. Who knows?
As long as it runs my tower defense games and functions as a great music storage and auto monitor I'm keeping it.... Will just keep the new phone in the pocket.
I'm on Page+ so probably won't be upgrading for a bit.....it's my first HTC phone and I love it.
I'm definitely keeping it as a really good audiogalaxy, google music streaming mp3 player with the wifionly script running for at work. Why not and it will help the battery on my new phone by not using it to stream music.
Keeping mine for now as well. They are selling at a decent price though, used incredibles selling for 100$+ on eBay.
There is a 2nd generation LTE chip coming out soon, I'll be waiting for that. Suppose to fix the battery life issue in the current generation chips.
Although the specs of the current phones are impressive, the fact that Rezound and Razr are locked, AND the fact that the GNEX, Rezound, Razr all have bad battery life compared to the HTC INC are all reasons why I'm not in a rush to toss my trusty incredible out just yet.
And yea I haven't found an app or game that runs poorly on my modified incredible, and there's no 4G here either, so honestly no reason at all for me to switch.
The day is coming though, just waiting for the right phone.
My DINC is turning into an MP3 player and scapegoat for development
I would love to keep my incredible, but could probably use the money. We still have an android printer tablet and two hp Touchpads.
BTW is it true that if your phone dies and you activate a dumb phone to get you by you could lose your unlimited plan?

that sounds about right, because if you activate a dumbphone it automatically removes the data plans since dumbphones don't run on those data plans.
Once it's removed it can never be readded.
adding a 32gb sd and keeping it as a wifi tethered navigation and music player.

Well I have an EnV setup on one of my lines with Unlimited Data from last year (i think..it was awhile ago) but keep in mind that phone doesn't use the same data package as our Inc.
I called today to get my sister-in-law's phone activated on that very same line and it will indeed have unlimited data. The key is to use one of those not too dumb phones lol.

That isn't accurate. I broke the screen on my incredible and used an old LG chocolate for a bit while I waited for parts to fix it. Obviously didn't have data on that phone but retained unlimited data when I reactivated my incredible. Just have to call and talk to them, I think you have up to 30 days to reactivate a device that can use your unlimited data plan.
I currently have a g2x still, however it is driving me insane lately. It really chaps my arse paying so much each month for a phone that is just so buggy. My biggest gripe although not huge to alot of people is the gps on the thing. It SUCKS. always has. Anyway that is my question, How is the gps on the nexus. I used to use navigation quite a bit on my phone but since the g2x sucks I can't really use it. I'm sorry if there are many posts about it but I'm on vacation and my internet time is very limited. (wife and kids are napping. lol) Thanks for any advise guys.
GPS works fine.
Not the best but still works awesome. No complaints.
butter and jelly please...
My wife literally locks on within 5 seconds, even when I'm in my house heading out. It was much faster for sure than my G2 (previous phone).
GPS on GN is excelent

The GPS hardware on the GN is really accurate, my complaint is with the way it handles phone calls when you are using navigation. When a call comes in the phone app jumps to the foreground, when the phone call ends the phone app stays up. To add insult to injury the screen then goes blank. I've gone back to my Garmin.

GNEX gps is lightning.
Out of the box it was quicker than any i had used before.
After installing AOKP and radio xxla2 i can lock on to 7-10 satellites (normally 8or9) in well under 10 sec's.
I believe it is a European radio, but I live in New Zealand and was recently in Thailand which locked on to 7/8 satellites in under 10 sec's
I have now installed the JB radio with the same results but a better phone signal.
Thanks for the responses guys. It kinda irks me to buy a phone add old as the nexus... But it's a great deal IMO, and I really need something. This G2x is driving me crazy.

The hardware is oldish and has lower specs than some phones now....
But probably the fist phone to receive 4.1 + 4.1.1
The support for the phone is fantastic and the dev's here at xda are non-stop adding features,stability and speed.
Tools, Roms, Kernels, Radios.... will be developed on this phone first.
Outta the box a good phone, the guys at xda make it a f#%*$n great phone.
I just got mine a month ago. My requirements were AMOLED and 720p screen, and the Nexus is still my choice if I were to buy one now. The only time I'll be feeling the need to upgrade again is when they release a phone with an AMOLED 720p using the RGB sub pixel layout. In the Nexus line anyways, I can't be on the update backburner now after being first in line.
processor/gpu, meh, it's a touchscreen only phone, I don't use it for high end gaming. Otherwise all the high end phones perform pretty damn similar the rest of the time, regardless whether it's quad or dual core.
Ordered it this morning. Now I'll play the waiting game.

This phone's specs have been passed and will be floored by others in the next year, but as a Nexus phone, it'll always be relevant.

Should I get the M? I have an upgrade in December, and I really love the form factor. My main concern is, I want a phone that will be supported for at least a full year. I like my 4, but I feel like its an afterthought to Motorola as far as design and in software support. I feel like you need to have a highly successful phone (as opposed to the niche market phone the D4 is) to receive support for a respectable amount of time.
The honest truth is I will most likely want a new phone by the end of 2013 as well (I have a real hard time sticking with a phone for a full contract), but is the M a good phone that will get continuous love for 2013? Does the phone seem like it will be able to handle anything 2013 might throw at it (as far as software)?

Development promises from Motorola can be questionable at times, like the ATRIX 4G. All rumors so far hint that this will be supported till the end if 2013. I like the phone, love the performance. Your question is so broad, it really comes down to what you like. If you really like the M, you'll get it. If you played with it, and you're asking for an opinion on whether YOU should be locked into a two year contract, maybe you should continue weighing your options. There is no physical keyboard by the way. ;p
I left the RAZR for the M, and love it. No regrets.

Now that Google bought Moto, they have committed publicly to trying to keep the phones more up to date.
I'd say there's a good chance it will get Android 4.2, but seeing how independent Google is letting M be, Motorola may cut support like they did for their Atrix 4G, Photon, Electrify.
If they cancel it, the first thing they'll do is delay it to 2014Q1. Then they'll cancel it, but give you a "trade in" option for $100.
I'm considering switching to the M from the Droid 3, I have an upgrade coming in March 2013. About the only thing that would change this would be if a Droid 5 came out that was designed like the M with a keyboard, but at this point I'm thinking I could live without a keyboard. I'm hoping under new management that Motorola will have quicker updates, they've already made Motoblur much better and are using on screen buttons giving a more stock appearance. With how quick the JB leak appeared, I imagine 4.2 won't take that long, considering its a such a small update to 4.1. Even if the M never sees 4.2 it wouldn't be that big of a deal since its such a small update.
The M is the only phone in a while that has decent specs and is physically small. I want something small and pocket sized, I have a tablet if I need a big screen. Development for this phone is already starting, Dhacker29 is making ROMs and recovery, while Hashcode is working on safestrap. I really want it now, but I have to wait until March to upgrade. Hopefully I can get it for free w/2yr at that point.
Me and my wife were slated for upgrade July of next year and they let us upgrade early because we kept calling and complaining about our d3s. She got the 4 and I got the m. I like the m way more, its not a perfect phone, but it is really great! I am way slower typing, and do miss the keyboard, but its a good trade off for how nice this phone is. I would trade a 3 for the m in a heartbeat, I would hold on to the 4 a little longer.

I could see the M going for free on Black Friday. That could be a good time to upgrade if it pans out. It's been 50 on Amazon for a while.
Like it was pointed out earlier in the post, it should have support for a while.

Are you in a 4G coverage area. I know some people have been given early upgrades since Verizon wants to switch people over to 4G, but I live in a 3G only area so I don't see why Verizon would allow me an earlier upgrade. I guess its worth a try though. I haven't been using the keyboard much on my D3 because its stopped working well (I have to press hard to get keys to register and then sometimes I'll get double characters). I've been using Swype and have grown to like it. The worst part about the D3 is the fact that its always running low on RAM even with bloatware frozen which makes it lag even though it has a 1ghz dual core.
We are in 4G area, and we complained about the lag, the rebooting and the keyboard not working. What did it though I think was complaining about the indoor cell signal on the D3 (we were trying to get a network extender) and that's when they offered an early upgrade.
