Ok I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right place but I just got my Droid incredible about 2 months ago. I bought the extended warranty and now that there not selling it anymore can I still get the same phone if something happened to it a few months down the road? Or do I have to get a cheap phone I don't waNt or like?

I believe they're replacing incredibles with moto x, d2, and Samsung fascinate. All a downgrade IMO..

The thing is, the stream of CLNRs in the warranty channel is self-perpetuating and isn't going to dry up anytime soon.
Really depends on if they have any in-stock or not. If they still have them in stock, then you'll get the same one back. Otherwise, like the others said, you're going to get a different phone that's "supposedly" equal value.

So I keep hearing about this which angers me because i just got my incredible but what do we know about this? I hear its coming on the 23rd but is this still being held as a rumor? Are there any rumored specs? From anything ive ever read is it basically bigger.

well for the sensation evo 3d...there is no word on if/when it will come to verizon htc phones
and we would need a new update from htc/vzw to allow for the use of the unlock tool
fwiw its clear that they are working on 2.3.4 for the inc2
Also I guarantee they will have a way to know you used their tool and will automatically void your warranty. Not worth it.

I always assumed my warranty was gone when I rooted mine. It's insured even though I am careful with my stuff and have never needed it. If something should go wrong it might fall off the boat though.

That was made public knowledge Sunday night when HTC outlined the unlock procedure. In order to use the unlock service, you will need to acknowledge that unlocking the phone may void your warranty.

Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App
About $250.
No matter how "up to date" your phones is, it will be outdated in a month. Is the newest best phone worth 650? No its not.
Besides, the LTE phones have horrible battery life. The gaxaxy nexus loses 10% pre hour ON STANDBY !!!!!!!. 4G tech to young to spend $650 on.
Do what I'm doing, I will wait until my 2 year plan is up so that when it is up. The 4G Phones will be perfict.
I hope I helped
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
Thanks! I do agree on the battery life but rooted some 4G phones at least get through the day. Especially with extended battery. I don't mind bulky phones at all.
If I can find a thunderbolt around $200 ill get it

No info on carriers yet, why wouldn't it be on Verizon? Galaxy Nexus is.
IMO the Gnex on vzn is like the a red head stepchild compared to the others on different carriers. They had a it exclusively on release but bombed it when it came to updates, 3 month delay on jb....the G wallet fiasco... Idk just don't see it in the cards
Not to mention that all new vzn Samsung phones have locked bootloaders when they're wide open on the other carriers.

Well, the good thing, is that if you get the nexus you can unlock and flash custom ROMs so you can get new versions of android before it gets released.

True. But the otas are still needed for kernel source right? (Or does that worry vanish for some reason on a nexus?) I mean isn't kernel source why battery life on cm9/10 is meh for us right now? I think aeros builds are hacked up gb kernels, although its impressive how far he's brought things. Anyways I hate skins and much prefer vanilla android, hence why I prefer nexus. Different strokes for different folks I guess but I don't know why anyone would actually choose to run sense. If I was Google I'd be pissed all these companies are skinning android.

The thing is that Google tries to release timely updates for their own devices. The other manufacturers like to screw with things by adding their skin on top of the Android version and ruin everyone's day. Why can't we just get our updates or be given the option to choose what launcher we want!?! :'(

I seriously doubt Samsung would make a Nexus based on the Galaxy Note. And LG making a Nexus would mean that I wouldn't want a Nexus. I already stated why I wouldn't want one so yeah. The only Nexus I would ever want would have to be by ASUS or Samsung. I never want another Nexus from HTC ever again (not because of software but hardware issues).

I would buy a nexus 7, but there no Amoled screen. If Samsung made the 7 it would be the same (or better) as the GN. And it would have a 1080p display. Of course it would cost 300-400$, but in my opinion an amazing display is worth it.

Honestly, I think AMOLED is over-rated. Or at least, every Samsung phone I see looks way too blue, so I prefer the color quality of normal LCDs.

Question ... just fyi the dinc2 is my first android. So I confess ignorance on thus stuff. I know that moto bootloaders are virtually unlockable. But does this worry matter with nexus phones? And specifically with LG phones? I really don't care about manufacturer. I care more about raw competitive specs and the ability to get s off and root. Is achieving both typically easy on nexus phones? Or can they be released locked down like moto has done with all their droids to date? Thanks for any incite. I wish I knew half of what the average poster on here knows about this stuff. Love this board.

With a heavy heart I am here to confess I am leaving the world of Vivow... :crying: The waiting game for updates and empty promises from HTC and Verizon both, I have made this decision to sell my Incredible 2 and never look back. With that said, I am also saying farewell to HTC completely. Not enough backing of their current lineup in my opinion. I shouldn't have to upgrade to the latest phone just to get the new build of Sense or latest build of Android. I should also not have to depend on community developers to get what I want. Oh well, it's time to cut the strings.
Dev's.. from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you all for giving us your personal time and effort into developing fun, useful, and up-to-date roms that just make us flash-aholics happy!! You will never be forgotten!!

Ah.. those issues if I remember were ROM related.. The phone has always been 100% using stock or CM7/9 ... but it's very picky about what other roms I use.. very strange device I have.. but un-rooted and stock it will be good as new.. cosmetically just a few blemishes and only one 1/4" scratch on the screen... not bad for having it and using it almost non-stop for almost 2 years now.. I have it on eBay but I'm thinking of pulling it.. almost 40 views already and 3 watchers.. unless that grows I'll probably yank it.. maybe.. I don't know..
