actually my first choice is the one x, but i think the hardware will be an overkill for my needs, so i ended up with my second choice w/c is the GNex, maybe i should check a f/w update first before anything else,...

What's your next phone virgin mobile users?

Hello all, I'm just curious to know what virgin mobile phone are you going to get after your wildfire s?
Sent from my HTC_A510c using xda premium

As of now, probably the EVO V 4G.

im thinkin the same thing

Although, now the LG Optimus Elite is looking pretty nice, too. I like the 3.5" and the NFC...

Yes! I was looking at that one, looks nice for $150
Sent from my HTC_A510c using xda premium

It's cheaper (even cheaper than my WFS!!) It's a hard decision to make. I really want ICS, but the LG Optimus Elite has NFC. Although, I won't be upgrading until about October anyway 'cause I'm gonna get a Nook Color soon.

Its a hard choice, I might save up some more cash and then buy the one V, Nook colors are sweet, I have one on ICS

Sweet! That's the reason I'm getting one. I hear it's easier to root than a lot of similar devices and ICS is really nice.
I think the V is more attractive in most ways, especially 4G (which I don't get where I live, but there are some cities fairly close with it) and ICS are pretty cool.

Yes your right, the nookcolor is very easy to root and install new roms (So easy a cave man can do it ) Ive had my nookcolor for about 4 months and i like it!
Ya 4g would be nice, hopefully the one V goes to virgin mobile, all we know is the evo 3d and lg optimus elite

Yeah, I've heard rumors about the One V, but I don't know if it actually will happen. Especially after the EVO V 4G announcement.

ya im thinking they might not get it since VM got the lg optimus elite instead of the one v

And even the EVO V 4G. At least they got one phone with a V, right?

BTW, I've got the international GSM version of the One V (Primou) and love it. Nice upgrade from WFS.

Above all else, the screen. It's no One X screen, but light years beyond the WFS. It's beautiful.
ICS/Sense 4 is really slick. At this point I have no desire for CM9. It's that good.
At the moment I have 700mb free for apps. And I have several 10-50mb apps installed.
The GPS is unbelievable. It can find 8-9 satellites in my cement house where the WFS is blind.

That's my biggest hope. If the current ROMs don't work, it's not worth it. I fear that it will be a similar situation to the WFS though. The VM version will be slightly forgotten behind the Sprint version. While Sprint and VM are essentially the same, the leaked RUU has really boogered up some of the Sprint phones, which leads me to believe there is a big enough difference there, but maybe not.
Hopefully they'll all be shipped S-OFF, though!!

After this phone, I won't be continuing my service with VM. The reception and data speed already was ridiculous. But THEN we got the data cap. And THEN they decided if I wanted to upgrade my phone, I also had to forgo my 25$ a month bill.
So I get less for more? F**k virgin mobile. I have principles.

hopefully its not that hard to fix because this time its not a completely different phone (ours is smaller and has no Sim) and when I get the phone I'm gonna hang back a little and wait got other people to see what happens to their phones when they try new roms

Sprint galaxy nexus?

Does this phone record video on front camera?
Does this phone heat up alot like other sprint phones?
Should i get my eirly upgrade to get galaxy nexus?
Last one hows the gaming on this like pocket legends?
Thanks in advance

Yes. Yes. Maybe. And Yes. . It depends on what you want from your phone. If you want a pure Google nexus expirience get the nexus. Also that includes a very active dev community. If you want functionality, top of the line specs, great battery life, and HTC sense, go with the evo lte. Also, expect the evo lte to get updates much slower. Hope this helps

Depends what you're doing. Its pretty thin and powerful. If you decide to play a game or movie while plugged in for example (or streaming it) then the top of the phone gets quite warm.

broke my nexus need a replacement

Hey guys have had some bad luck with my galaxy nexus, I dropped it on the weekend and it is now destroyed. Luckily my insurance company will cover it. The only problem is they are not selling it in Aust anymore. Can anyone recommend a good replacement at a similar price

Well if you still want a Nexus you can ask them to give you your money back and then look for it yourself - I'd do that if my GNex broke. Some near-priced phones (at least in my country) are the Sony Xperia S, the HTC Sensation XE or XL, some Samsung tablet, I think it was the P1000, the Samsung Galaxy R and the HTC Evo 3D hope i helped

Sorry to say that...
but i think there is no replacement for the Galaxy Nexus
and at this price... mhm... what about the Samsung Galaxy S II for example?
It's not really bad

Yeah unfortunately they won't give me money back only replace it. I loved that phone and flashing ROMS daily. How does the S3 compare

Normally I'd agree with your statement about SE/Sony (owned an X10), but the Xperia S is getting direct AOSP support now, so it might not be so bad after all

Straight support from Google, http://bit.ly/NY2GYo, read the first post.

Yep, only if you count on that stuff that's why custom ROMs exist I wouldn't say poor build though - like I said, I'm very happy with my Arc S. Newer NXT Xperias might be poorly built but the Arc S even makes the SGS2 look like an ogre

the arc looks awkward and the cracks everyone gets around the proximity sensor are proof of poor design.
plus se phones are way too expensive for outdated specs

Build and hardware / software design boils down to personal preference.
As for support... They have the VERY BEST updates. Much better than the crap Samsung and LG.
And... Guys you have insurance for your phones? Wow! I just have crappy warranty that I don't bother voiding.

Welcome to the collective.
Dead Trigger was one of the first apps I got. Very tempted to get Need for Speed: MW.
Wallbase to look at nice pictures and test out the screen.

You wont regret it, i made the same switch as you did!
This phone has a ridiculous amount of potential.

Why do you believe that to be the case when it's nearly identical to the Nexus 4 and the bootloader has already been unlocked?

Patience is a virtue my friend, and you do have choices. I see the progress being made with the boot loader and root, as well as an AIO tool already completed, man once these roms get rolling you'll regret not having one.
The choice is yours my friend.

I was thinking about getting the evo lte but I'm now leaning more to the optimus. Is it really that good?? I'm coming from using an evo 3d...
I really want to get it but I'm still not sure.. Thanks for the help..

As of right now my opinion is this. The phone is solid. The corners are kind of harsh. The hardware is fantastic. Surprisingly from what I have heard in the past on LG the ui is pretty good.
At the moment it has the best specs on Sprint period.
Now, when our comes to development, we will have to wait and see. It is the 4th highest selling Android oem on the 3rd largest provider. From that it is easy to say the S3 on At&t gets more attention. This will also never get the following of the Nexus. But, it does have development.
I would get it. You can also wait for the Flossy seal of approval if you like.

This phone is awesome, I've played Need for Speed Most Wanted, Dark Knight Rises,Asphalt 7, Minecraft, and Modern Combat 4, this phone flies, it gets really hot that's the only issue but that doesn't affect performance at all. Stock UI is surprisingly nice. Screen is amazing. Development hasn't been good but I have no doubt that Roms, Kernels, and Mods will come with due time.

Just bought this beast an hour ago, already rooted and transferring my stuff from my Epic 4G. I compared the LG Mach because I didn't want to give up my physical keyboard ( :crying: ) but in the end the dual-core vs. quad-core was no comparison! Plus, $99 at Best Buy was a steal (Sprint store wouldn't price match).
Like going from a Yugo to a Ferrari!

Switched from AT&T and the Motorola Atrix 4G to Sprint and the LG Optimus G and so far, I haven't regretted switching from AT&T to Sprint and from the Motorola Atrix 4G to the LG Optimus G. Can't wait for JellyBean on this phone. Decided to switch to Sprint since Sprint is the only carrier that now offers truly unlimited data.

Just nabbed the last one today @ BB for $99! Loving it so far. Was originally gonna get the Note 2 but the price won't drop. I couldn't resist this deal. Looking forward to the ROMS!

Got this phone yesterday, traded my s3 for it. Loving it so far, since I've hated the S3 as soon as I got it. Evo LTE was nice too had it for 2 months but the 1gb of RAM was killing me with Sense.
Haven't tinkered with it yet but thinking of just stock rooting just for getting rid of the Ads.
