just switched from Bionic to Dinc2, here's why - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

I have been a long-time iphone user, but got tired of the limits of ios. My first droid phone was the Infuse, and I really like that phone, but switched to Verizon recently so I bought the Bionic.
The Bionic was slower in every respect than the Infuse. I was big time disappointed in the screen door looking screen, and the fact that I couldn't keep apps from disappearing.
My wife at the time was making her choice for a phone (she had an iphone 4 on att) and I suggested the Dinc2. She brought it home and I really liked it. Once I began researching the dev support for this phone, I decided to return the Bionic and get myself one.
Long story short, I have now tried many different roms, and I am really enjoying this little phone.
At the end of the day, I wanted a phone I could tinker with. And this Dinc2 delivers in spades. Plus, I really enjoy Sense.
I would like to thank all of the devs for the depth of support on this little device.
It may sound crazy to some that I "downgraded" from the Bionic, but trust me- the Bionic has nothing on this phone.

if your incredible2 is anything like mine you wont be disappointed, this is by far one of the best phones anybody can own.
it does have have a crappy speaker in my opinion but if you install any of the custom kernels like this one:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1180085
your invoice calls would be a whole lot better and also the battery life

FYI, make sure its a Sense kernel.

HTC FOR LIFE!! Seriously HTC phones are the nicest phones I've played with. I'm not liking Motorola, and I think Samsung looks like cheep dollar store crap. HTC seems to have it figured out as far as quality of technology is concerned.

Would you trade your INC2

Just curious to see if any of you would trade your inc2 for a droid charge.
Why and why not?
Reason being is that I bought a charge, great phone good development (I'm not going to do a versus battle here they are both great phones but suited for different people) but it is just too bulky when in pocket for me at least so I'm thinking of maybe selling it and getting the inc2 or maybe just trading it with someone, of course it would have to be a local trade.
Let's hear it.
lol hell nah Charge doesn't have one AOSP GB. I got my SRSWOW sound so I don't miss Voodoo Sound that much either.
Samoled is overrated. I've used it for more than a year and I like the screen on Dinc2 better. You wouldn't see the true awesomeness of Samoled when the brightness is 100% but I would never use Samoled at 100% cause it's too bright.

I'd actually trade for a thunderbolt, mostly because it basically the same except 4g and screen size, AND ROOT! The battery life isn't a problem for me.

Well the charge has root and SAMOLED screen which is a beautiful screen plus my battery lasts me all day without problems (I do not have 4g in my area so this is only in 3g and wifi). I don't know much about the TB but all I have heard is that battery life is horrible. Once again I thought about that too but it really comes down to the smaller phone.
Never. Having come from a Fascinate, I'd never own another Samsung, just too many issues and to me, the Charge is just too big. The Inc2 is absolutely perfect.
I would consider it as I'm not a fan of sense ui my whole thought process was root and Cm7 it but root is taking longer than I've seen on any device however I'm still very happy with dinc2 without root I am having withdrawals

As far as I can tell there is no issues with the charge. All is smooth and and issues free with a custom rom, I never actually ran it stock.

No I love the Inc2. My mom has the Droid Charge, and the roms and glitches in their GB roms are too much of a problem if I were to trade. Besides, the Inc2 is incredibly light, perfect screen and great roms!

There are a few bugs on the GB rom but nothing too bad, and yes you are right the inc2 has a great screen size and weight. I run a lot and I usually have my phone in my pocket playing pandora so the charge big for sure.
Charge is a good phone when rooted with the ext4 lagfix. I love my inc2, but a Charge wouldn't be a bad phone for someone to pick up if they're into flashing ROMs and such
Stock to Stock, I'd take the Inc2 every day and twice on sunday.

This phone already feels as if there is a custom rom running on it. But I still want root. With the Fascinate, I was addicted to Odin and flashing every twice a week. That's what I want with this phone, and that's why I would only trade for a tbolt.

I love the build quality of the Dinc2. I too came from the fassy, it felt like a toy compared to the Dinc2.
VZW sent my Dinc2 with the extended battery... It adds a little depth, but man this thing can run forever.
When I was offered the trade in options, I actually asked for the Charge. The rep told me I would have to wait 2-3 extra days and he would call me back. This all went down on 7/28 - AFTER VZW pushed the OTA fix for fassy. I said screw it, send me a Dinc. Very happy with my decision.
I love mine but I'd trade today for a Charge for the resale & 4G!
But if I had Sense 3.0 or CM7...
It'd be a no go!

The bolt is on Craigslist for trade. For some reason people keep thinking a Droid x would be a good even trade.

The speaker phone of my Dinc2 really sucks compare to the Fascinate it replaced, we really need root for the GB 2.3, don't care about custom ROM but I want to use my Ti Backup Pro. LOL

Hey new to Samsung completely...

I am getting a gs2 tomorrow for T-Mobile and was curious what are somethings about this phone to look forward to? They are sending me a replacement for my one s cause of too many problems that I have been having for the device and too many replacements sent out so that is the alternative that they are sending me. I know processor wise and camera wise it doesn't add up to the one s but what are some things that I can look forward to do with it and what are somethings that you guys would recommend doing out of the box?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
Right out of the box? I would say that rooting would be the best start While android is android, there are some vast differences, the TWUI is one of them. Most people don't like the TWUI (including myself), but I have found that there are quite a few that enjoy the tw ease of access and the fact that it was made to mimic the iOS interface. Speed and dependability are the biggest things with the Galaxy series. I like htc, but there are too many bugs in the system. The difference in the screen is very noticeable as well. I can rattle off features, but in reality it wouldn't matter if you don't use them. Play with it, have fun with it, and enjoy the ROMs that these amazing devs come up with on here Enjoy
im surprised you didn't argue for an s3
Went from the G2 to the GSII and was really happy with the switch. Previously I've had all HTC phones and was semi-reluctant to switch, but I'm a fan of other Samsung products so I went ahead. I think you'll be happy with it, as far as productivity its great, but definitely root it and maximize its full potential and get rid of all the bloatware.

I raised hell cause my job relies on my phone and I told them if I wanted a banging ass camera an a good mp3 player I would have bought a iPod an I have bought every new device they have released in the past two years. An I told them I wasn't paying for another device so they opted me with the gs2 an I took it. Is it easier to root the sg2?

(FYI) Inc 4g has s-off coming

Does this really belong here? prolly not
but i know a lot of inc2 users dont want to upgrade and loose unlimited data, and buying phones off contract can be crazy expensive to keep it
inc4g can typically be had for under $250 on ebay/cl, and now we have s-off coming (which being locked was a major point for many to avoid the phone)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1944157
basically thought id throw this out there, for those looking for a pretty good (i love it, others refuse to use anything smaller than 4.3 inch screen these days) 4g phone that can be had off contract used for just about upgrade pricing, can now not worry about having an unrootable/locked phone :good:
it will most likely be getting official jellybean at some point, which the rezound probably wont (nothing against rezound, but that could be a deal breaker for some)
Awesome, the not unlockable at all part was definitely what had me staying away from this, I knew it'd get done eventually though, thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for this nits. Are you on the dinc4g now? It's something to consider at that price. Is battery comparable to what we have now on dinc2? I may have to Google to see how big an improvement it is. I don't recall any of the tech specs for it.

yeah ive had the inc4g since launch...i was one of the fortunate ones (maybe 80-100?) that got dev unlocked through htcdev when the phone was unoffiicially supported for its first 10 days post launch...after that htc killed support to it...
theory was either a) verizon told them to (verizon claims our stock release software and unlock would cause issues...according to some support folk) or b) verizon just didnt want it unlockable
in any event, it ll work out in the end, cuz we probably wouldnt have soff if we had dev unlock as andy might not have had to reach out to the i/o guys if we still had unlock...and soff is so much better
but our sense4.1/android 4.0.4 update this week contained the exploit the guys needed to get temproot and soff the device supposedly :good:
as for the device?
battery life is incredible for a 4g device...on the stock battery and kernel i get 4 hours screen on time regularly (more than my inc2), in lte coverage the whole time...radios are very good
comparing it to the inc2, i guess form factor differences would be iphone 4s vs iphone5...the inc4g is narrower, but qhd res....i happen to like the screen a lot (even though some blogs killed it)....its very responsive, and smooth (even more so now on sense4.1 vs 4.0)
Keep us posted on the s-off. Thanks nit.
Thanks for the info Justin.
Well I will certainly be getting this phone for sure.

I'm certainly going to think hard on it. I have to go off contract to keep unlimited anyways. I may begin monitoring the forum to see how much dev support swings over there. Will cyanogenmod ever support non moto phones? Lol.

If anyone cares for another opinion, I can pretty much confirm Justin's take on the Dinc4. I had the Dinc2 for quite a while and absolutely loved it (now my dad loves it.) I was predisposed to the Dinc4 because the form factor of the Dinc2 was perfect. Once I noticed Justin had the phone and knew it would have great ROMs, that sealed the deal. My phone arrived THE DAY HTC removed it from their unlock tool :'(
So after 3 months with the Dinc4, I'm a little baffled by the amount of negative reviews on this phone. The screen is fantastic, the camera is outstanding, and the phone (stock) is smooth and responsive. The latest update made it even better. Battery life is great. If you like your Dinc2 as much as I did and aren't looking for a phablet size device, I think this is a great upgrade.
Cheers.
+1 I just got mine and I love it. Except for the lack of root, but like nits said that will be available in the near future. The form of the phone reminds me of the og inc and I loved that lil guy
if root ever becomes available for it, i might look around to trade my dinc2 + some cash maybe, for one. dinc2 is my first Android based phone and I really love it. I even liked it on stock, but root is just amazing lol
We're told root is coming soon
Once the s-off tool is released, i'm sure root will accompany root.

yeah, just fastboot a recovery and flash a superuser package and youre set (post s-off)
I think just maybe HTC threw the dinc4g a bone. They have supported the android underground in the past. They still would if very greedy wireless hadn't stepped in.
It makes sense to me, that they released an update knowing full well that we could exploit it.
Anyone else think the same?

Love this phone

I have owned literally EVERY high end android device that has been available in the US. Even some that haven't for that matter. But this is by far the best device i've ever owned. It excels in every area. The display is phenomenal, the specs are top notch, and the real world use is where it should be considering the power this thing flaunts. As far as smoothness and fluidity go it's in a league of its own. I've had the note 2, i've had the one x+, I've had the dna, and they cant even hold a candle to this device. All we need now is for some of the awesome devs we have to pump out some JB ROM's and we're golden. The dev support is there though. With all those things considered, I'm going as far as to say this is the best phone ever made IMHO. Thoughts anyone?

Severely doubt that rumor. Samsung is Android's Apple. They will bump as minimally as possible to sell the next model. Quad core, 2gb ram, 16gb storage. Book it.
This phone is the best on the market outside of the Nexus 4. If we can get past this bootimg bull**** from Sprint and LG we'll have a really fun phone. HTC Evo had a very slow takeoff as well, and before you knew it there were too many roms. We're almost there and I love it.

I can honestly say this is he best I've had so far. At first I was considering the iPhone 5, but too many people at my job had it. Did a lot of research on this phone and saw a lot of people bashing it before it even came out. When the phone was released I went to sprint to get a feel for he phone and they didn't even have it on display! No love was given to this phone at first. I took the leap and bought it at bestbuy anyway. Best decision I made as far as picking a phone. My brother got the gs3 and when I showed him my phone he liked the lgog more. Not to mention his phone is always on the charger as opposed to mine lol. Glad this phone is getting some love tho.

At my school (I'm a teenager) everyone has either iPhones or Galaxy or an older android. No one honestly has the Optimus G, as far as I can see.
And everyone is like "I LOVE YOUR PHONE!!!" I am very happy I got this phone.
At first I didn't want it with rumors being LG wasn't the greatest and....no removable backing. But I bought it and it was the best decision ever.
Only thing that would make it better is if the JB update came to my area already

I doubt you will find too many people here suggesting the DNA. You are on a One forum
By far, the best phone I have owned and I have owned most of the "TOL" models in the last year.
I'm currently sitting on a DNA, and now that the S-off method is out, I'm seriously looking at getting the One. I'm just trying to justify the cost, as is have to pay full retail (I'm on a grandfathered unlimited plan), and it doesn't seem to be *too* significant of an upgrade over the DNA. Any thoughts?

If you can swing it, I'd say go for it! A friend has a DNA and I've had some decent hands-on with it - it's a great phone already. In my opinion, the biggest "wow" factor is going to be the audio performance. I've never been big into watching videos/Youtube on a phone up until the One. Granted, I am probably more into sound than the typical user, but still. The other thing is probably battery - a nice 280mah bump, almost 15% boost.
And I am guessing you'll probably see more developer support for the One vs DNA, just because the install base is that much bigger.

I doubt you will find too many people here suggesting the DNA. You are on a One forum
By far, the best phone I have owned and I have owned most of the "TOL" models in the last year.

I just came from a DNA about two weeks ago. No regrets at all. It was worth the extra money between selling the DNA and getting a One for me.
The DNA is good enough if you want to save money. my Fiance has the DNA and I have the One and we're basically running the same phone, except mine is a better camera/speakers and hers is a bigger screen. The DNA and One are both very good phones, especially with Venom about to release a Sense 5 ROM for the DNA.
If you have that kind of disposable income, might as well.
Thanks for the responses guys! I went ahead and got the One last night - definitely liking it so far. I obviously haven't used it enough to definitively judge the battery, but it does seem quite good so far, even compared to my DNA which was underclocked and undervolted.
Thanks again for all your input - I really appreciate it!

It's not bad. It's quite a bit better than my evo lte though you wouldn't expect a huge difference by the specs. and the evo is on aosp whereas the one is on sense. (Thought I'd add that since the evo came with sense 4 which was a huge battery hog.) Enjoy it man.

Go with the one. It is so nice to have a premium build phone.

You think the camera on the One is better? I have much much more noise in my pictures taken with my One vs pics taken with my DNA. I am actually REALLY disappointed with the One's camera. I think going with 4MP "Ultrapixel" was a terrible idea. Speaker hype was way too much, yes better than the DNA, but way below what Beats by Dre quality should be. My beats earbuds that cam with my Rezound were beast, speakers on the One so so... I would compare it to taking the speaker from the DNA and placing two of them on the front of the phone.
Not trying to rip your post apart, I agree that they are both very good phones with the One being the better of the two. 32 internal was huge for me coming from 16, would have loved a 64 variant.

I agree the camera is a little sad. It takes super pics most of the time. Sharp and brilliant. But if they stayed with 8 megapixels and made those ultra, it would rock.

The screen on the one looks washed out compared to the DNA ... But the DNA doesn't have 32 gb which is huge and the audio on the one is significantly better ..
