So here's my story. I have the fascinate now, got it when it came out & have another year to go to upgrade. The froyo update has created pretty significant missed call issues that vzw is addressing by offering a switch to the DInc2 or the X2. My wife has the Dinc1 & I had the eris before so I'm familiar with sense ui. How does this phone compare to them or to the X2? I'm looking for input before I make my choice.

I cannot speak for the DX2, but I for one love my DInc2. It's the perfect size, and has the perfect feel for the hand. The processor is lightning quick; keep in mind that this is the next generation Snapdragon. Even though it's not Dual Core, it's still really fast!
You get a great camera, still a good screen, and a front facing camera which you do not have on the DX2. The DX2 has a qHD display, but from what I've heard, and this is hearsay and opinion, it's not that great. I don't like Blur, and I came from a Stock Android OG Droid, so Sense was the better choice for me.
Battery life isn't the best I've seen, but it's also not the worst. Depends on usage, but I can get through most of the day with it. Gingerbread helps here, and also makes the phone even faster than it was with Froyo. I would recommend the DInc2. Good luck!
i came from the fascinate, as did my wife, and i can tell you we're absolutely happy with the dinc2. i'm on CM7 nightly, she's running gingersense (she doesn't know that, she thinks she's full stock. shhhh.) it's so much better than the fascinate in every way.
if you liked the fascinate's screen, then the DX2 won't be good enough. the incredible 2's screen is pretty comparable.
Bro as much as I loved my fascinate, I had the same issues with missed calls. Took 3 replacements to finally get offered something else. Dinc2 or the x2. I'm not a fan of the x's so I chose the dinc 2. This phone literally ****s on the fassy. I have not experienced any bugs. Now that it's rootable it's even more beast. The screen isn't super amoled . But, it looks great. The difference in screens really seems to be black. It looked better on the fassy but every other color looks better on dinc 2

I'm in the same boat as everyone here....I had the fassy and couldn't handle the missed calls so when I called it was this or the droid x (not x2) for free or I could upgrade early and sign a new 2yr contact. which I thought about cuz I too have a yr left on my current contact. (really thought I wanted the droid charge) I have never been happier that I picked the inc 2.
When I first started looking into the support for this phone I thought I made a mistake as it seemed like there was none and as you know the fascinate community was full of ppl and devs. But now that we have root this is by far the best phone out (imo) and has plenty of amazing devs who have really brought out its potentially.

I got the free with no contract swap from Fascinate to DInc2 and do not regret it now that we are rooted and flashing away!
Fascinate does have a slightly better screen and a better external speaker but the DInc2 beats it everywhere else!

I went into VZW they other day to exchange my Fascinate for the Dinc 2. A buddy did the same thing and his Dinc is awesome. Definitely not regretting my decision. I'm waiting very anxiously for the Fed Ex man to bring a present to my door now...

my wife has the o.g Facinate from release date and at first it was very cool but the whole rooting process and ODIN over time has become such a P.I.T.A!
ive gone from a ton of blackberry's and winmo devices to > eris > inc 1 > inc 2..
im not looking back and only looking forward to whats next in the Inc series.
functionality, speed and even the new features such as dual cam's and etc are what make this badboy the leader of the new school!
MY fiance had a fascinate on our family share plan and I just gave a courtesy upgrade so she could get a new phone. I wish I would have tried this first and then given her the upgrade. I wonder if I activate the fascinate on my line if they would let me swap it for a dInc 2. Does anybody know if Verizon would do this?

By the way guys when you call for the replacement make sure you tell them you need the battery. Cover and charger. Most likely they are sending out cpo devices and they don't come with any of that stuff.

Wish I could've seen that where I live but every dinc2 I saw at the vzw stores had the same -dbm (or close) as my fascinate showing only 2 bars. The only phone in either store with full bars and >-75dbm was the dx2. After dealing with this so long I couldn't see myself with another Samsung device. I won't necessarily miss the phone but I will miss the devs & community.

Honestly the evo is a great phone but if i had a Nexus S 4g i wouldnt trade it for a evo. The nexus s 4g development is booming right now with ICS roms that are fully working. Also i believe the NS4G is better hardware wise as well
I've had my evo for close to 2 years now, and I still love it thanks to the awesome rom developers on this site. I'm not sure I would trade down for it if you have a newer, faster device, though.
Had my phone for 2 years. Would probably trade it for something else had it not been for the Deck Rom that I found on this forum. Phone still is very competitive with the rest of the models out there so for me unless i find a model that outperforms my phone by miles i'll stick to Evo. Plus with the new rom Deck Reloaded its better than ever (minus few minor things that need to be ironed out, rom was just released 2 days ago).

I've passed on "upgrading" from my Evo for 14 months, because nothing else was a good enough excuse to give it up. Still the overall best phone I've ever had, so far! I'm still keeping mine to play and hack around on long after my Evo 4G LTE is in my hands.
That's my plan too is to keep to OG Evo to use as a wifi device around the house when I want to listen podcasts and such that the wife doesn't want to hear. On that same note, can't wait for the LTE to drop.
I've had mine since the launch and I still love it. I also tend to stay with a given phone for long hauls; I had my Sony Erickson w810i for almost 4 years (I replaced it with the Evo).
I've had mine for almost 2 yrs. It's the best phone I've had simply for the modification factor. I like to tinker and try new things (ROMs, kernels, themes, etc.) w/o the lockdown hurdle I had with my iPhone. I wouldn't trade down for older tech though. I would think you could get one pretty cheap and not have to give up the newer phone you have.
I have the Verizon Nexus and have had tons of problems with data drops, the in-call audio bug, screen issues and a few other random problems. My mom is with Sprint and was wanting to get one for herself, but before she goes and buys one I wanted to ask around and see if these problems are as rampant on the Sprint Nexus.
I don't have any of those issues on my Verizon Nexus.
Nope but then again it was rooted as soon as it hit my doorstep

Sup Adrynalyne, I unfortunately have had terrible luck with the nexus, but you know I like to follow you around from phone to phone so I guess I'm stuck til you get something new, gotta have my bamf. But really though, I do love the device, which is why I have stuck with it, but since launch day I've had nothing but issues, and I'm definitely not the only one. I've had several replacements, 2 new SIM cards, nothing seems to help. This last replacement seems to handle calls better, but constantly drops data and signal, and the screen looks terrible, but I'm just tired of them sending me replacements so I'm dealing with it.

Well, whatever you decide, we have Sprint covered too for BAMF on the Nexus. I may get a GS3 on Verizon and work on bringing BAMF to that, but I don't want to commit and say that is a definite yet.
I understand the frustrations too. My wife's gnex has the crappiest screen ever.
Well, since this will be for my mom, she has an evo shift right now, so I think I'm gonna get her an evo LTE.
As for myself, I've been trying to decide what's next. Verizon has already offered to let me change to a different phone. My wife has the Rezound and she loves it, and I myself have always preferred HTC so I've considered taking one of those, even though it may be considered a step backwards, but the part of me that lives for the bleeding edge is wanting to see if they will go so far as to switch me to a GS3. Without a doubt though, I'll definitely be keeping an eye on you and ihtfp69 because I've always loved the work you guys do.

My first replacement through asurion was a dud. I had a Chinese manufactured model and it kept losing signal. Second replacement went perfectly well and the unit had no signs of defect (korean model). Rooted it right away, installed cm10 and the new radios. With stock battery, I'm getting 16-18 hours of battery life, 1hr talk time, 1-2 hrs of screen time.

That's the one. They used the "flash is broken now" excuse to get an S3.
Edit: If the RAZR turns out to be a p.o.s. as well I may have to do the same.
I have been offered a RAZR every time I've called, I told them a removable battery is a must. The Rezound is the only other option and that is a downgrade in my opinion. I spoke to a great rep last time who really knew his ****, he told me the SIII has the same screen problems and headset issues as the Nexus, but if I kept having problems he would look into it. I'm not going to play any games/lie to get one either.
Like I said I don't really want a SIII, I just want a Nexus that works.

The one I talked to told me the RAZR shipped with JB...I doubted it very much when he said it, but I held out hope until I looked it up this morning.
Either way, the cons of owning my piece of **** Nexus outweighed the cons of the RAZR and having a new phone is always fun for a while. If it's a piece of **** maybe the day will come when they will give me an S3.

Ha, I flat out told him I've never spoke to a level 2 tech that actually was honest with me and knew what was going on. He gave me his extension also, I'm gonna give him a call back.
I loved my OG Droid and Moto quality seems to be the best, but like I said, there is no way I'm getting something with a non-removable battery.
Well, my camera stopped working on my current GNex(#2). I'm wary of exchanging it. It baffles me, though, that cell phone carriers only offer refurb devices when you pay about $7/month for insurance while retail stores would exchange your faulty item for a new one when you have insurance. It doesn't seem right since we pay good money for these devices.
But I digress. I have a question, though. Would I be able to send it to Samsung to see if they can fix the camera(video chip) or should I just call Verizon to exchange?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
You can call Samsung and try going through them. The CSR suggested this because I really didn't want to get rid of my Nexus for another phone.
The problem is you would be without your phone, with no loaner for however long it takes to repair. It could be 2 weeks, could be a month. I assume you would also have to pay for shipping. And my experience with OEM repair has never been a positive experience. I wouldn't trust them to fix the right thing. You also run the risk of damage to the phone when they open it up. Maybe someone else with a GSM model can comment on the quality/ease of Samsung repair.
After two years with my EVO 4G (OG) it was starting to have some hiccups here and there. Mostly because of the power surges that came into my house and fried out 11 250 joule surge protectors, an LED TV, 2 FiOS STB's, the FiOS D-Mark, and a microwave. Charging my phone during the last strike from my local electric company had caused it to start running strangely. Or at least that is my theory.
Well, I decided I needed a new phone. I was lucky enough that I was due for an upgrade, so off to Best Buy I went. I was seriously toying with the idea of getting an SG3. My brother in law has one, as well as my wife's cousins. I thought it was a great phone and light years ahead of the EVO. Don't get me wrong, my EVO has served me phenomenally, but I wanted something nicer. I have 2 Epic 4Gs in my house, wife and son, plus I have had the Fascinate, the Moment and the Transform, so I know Samsung makes some great devices.
I walk into the Mobile center in Best Buy and gravitate towards the Sprint table and started looking at the SG3. There was nothing that really jumped out at me and there were no more HTC phones in the lineup. Sad, but never a deal breaker. Then I see it, the Galaxy Note II. I pick it up and it feels very comfortable in my hand. I am a big guy so I feel like an iPhone get's lost in my hand and this was the Goldilocks phone. Now for the moment of truth. Do they have the Titanium in stock? My EVO is white and so is my iPhone. The Note in white was just too much white. And not the cool Stormtrooper white with black accents like my EVO has, but pure stark white. That wouldn't do. The sales person approached and asked me if I needed help. I told him I wanted the GN2 in Titanium and he gave me an ashen look. He mentioned that they were on national back order, but he would look anyway. Lo and behold, he pulls out, according to him, the last Titanium GN2 in the country.
Everything goes swimmingly. They have the phone advertised for $299 for an upgrade, but I had seen it in Radio Shack for $199. I never thought to take a picture of the ad before I went to BB, but oh well. I told the new salesperson that was helping I would come back to get the $100 credit. She said she had a lot of luck beating Amazon Wireless' prices. She pulled up the site and I was able to get the Note for $199. Score! She got me up and activated in about 10 mins and I was out the door with my new toy.
Now, I swore to myself that I would test drive it for a week or two before rooting at and throwing a custom ROM. Too bad that lasted about 5 mins. I was able to root it even after doing the MA7 update. I am currently a lab rat because I actually like the stock TouchWiz. That may change but for the moment I like the Team Nocturnal ROM (great job guys!!) Battery life on this is insane!!! I charged it to full last night and took it off at about 10PM. I use it as a white noise generator and forgot to set the sleep timer, so it was going from midnight until I woke up at 7AM and I still had 90% battery. Awesome!!
I will probably spend most of my work day playing and tweaking it.

I also cone from a evo 4g. As a matter of fact, I bought the 3d for my wife and another 4g for my mom to use. Same deal here, 4g just want cutting it anymore and the note had been out for a little bit on sprint. So I got it and it's crazy impressive. The weight and the feel of it at first compared to htc devices wad misleading at first, but a good case and some time with it had made me a fan of Samsung.
My buddy at work has the htc dna and it feels like you could beat someone with it, but that's pretty much where the advantages end. This is the way to go. Fast, responsive, uses a stylus like the good old Palm days, and the battery life is amazing.
I've been with htc since the mogul days and have been a big fan of theirs, but always had to buy the extended batteries. I think the stock battery will do for this phone.
Samsung note ii
I also came from HTC. The HTC Desire HD. It was a great device.
You've got to love the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 though. :good:
An ex evo user myself. Welcome to the club....you made the right choice

Liked my Evo 3D for 2 years. Loving the Note II for 3 months! :highfive:
I had the og evo and the 3vo and after the locked bootloader BS and htcs backpedaling on opening up to development, I abandoned them and boycotted them. I won't buy any more HTC products, especially after them threatening lawsuits for ppl hosting RUUs and modified sense roms. They have become too applesque for my taste. Samsung has been good about ease of access for development (unlocked bootloaders and easy to root, just implemented a simple custom flash counter) and releasing source almost at the same time an OTA starts being pushed.
I like to break stuff!
I too have come from using all htc phones (mogul, tp2, and evo4g) and I must say this is one heck if a phone. Love everything about it. The battery lasts me as long as the batteries from all my htc phones combined. Everyonw that I have showed it too have been amazed by it..
Cant get enough of this phone
Also a ex evolte user made the jump the days ago this phone is off the chain I honestly feel like I may go my entire contact with this one!
