Develop Bugs

just switched from Bionic to Dinc2, here's why

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.

Have Galaxy Nexus but this phone tempts me.

I got the nexus because I was kind of sick of going through phones and I finally thought j was happy except someone I know has the gs2 and she has it so bloated and stock and its a mess yet it seems so smooth regardless.
When I try to think of advantages I think for me is full front and back white color. Resolution doesn't bother me as I've come to realize.
Has anyone had both and noticed snap pier ping times and internet speed? As little difference between the two I have a feeling when playing with the gs2 that it just loads faster and quicker after clicking a page or refreshing this forum.
I know the development is no where near nexus but I've also come to realize I'm not as addicted to flashing roms as I used to be and am just stuck with one.
Battery I hear is great and with 2100 battery from Verizon nexus I'm sire will be awesome.
I know there are plenty of threads of this but I feel they haven't really been addressed recently in couple months.
Any T-Mobile users who have used both phones . How do you feel about the few things I mentioned and anything else you would like to add.
It just bothers me when I play with the two next to each other as awesome as the nexus is its like I can't help myself wanting the gs2 which makes me regret not getting one when I got the nexus and blew all that money.
However at this point I could defibetly do a straight trade and so just wanna hear some feedback.
Thanks guys.

You could say I'm growing up and will be working full time when I graduate and will probably be even less involved soon.
Maybe having a T-Mobile phone with actual radios designed to be used here is just stabler then an imported nexus . Maybe not.
Ics is great not gonna lie. But its a lot like other things. You get bored so I guess one thing is I don't necessarily need the latest software because to me I feel the gs2 is quite good already.

hey i have an htc one x i want it to change it for an s3 so i got back from where i bought it and told them that i want to change it well they told me why do you want to do that s3 is not good one x way better s3 have lots of trouble they told me that they sold about 5 s3 last week but 3 give them back for an one x or a iphone is that right or do you advise me to change to an s3 or stay with my one x really confused! and thanks

<shrug>
Why would we know about the S3?

I can comment and say....
Get the GS3. Try it for a week or two then pass it on like I did.
One X in real day usage is a far better experience.

Its personal preference really, I for one would never have another Samsung device, just for the pure fact I don't like them anymore. I love my HOX, I must be one of the lucky ones that don't have the problems. But I'd keep with the HOX if I was you.
And quit with the sarcastic comments "Stay in school", really uncalled for.
Cheers.

I have the same doubt like you man...I am very confused between S3 and HOX...I always had samsung, but I really really hate them, due its pathetic plastic case and the crap touchwiz.
My concern is related to wifi and antenna issues of HOX...thats the only one reason i did not buy the HOX yet.:crying:
Can someone help me too?

Seriously guys what's with this complete indecision going on? I hope it's not contagious. I'd hate to have indecision. I think. Well, maybe not. I dunno. I might like it.

One of the reasons why I don't like Samsung is because they are so plastic. As to the HOX WiFi issues, I've had no issue. Not sure if I have a later phone or what, but all seems fine. Brought mine about 3 months ago.
Cheers.

OK, seeing as I've used both I'll give my views...
1. The screen on the One X is VASTLY superior to the S3 - the viewing angles are better and it just looks more natural.
2. TouchWiz, although I hate it, IS more fluid and suffers from less lag than Sense.
3. A lot of the gimmicks are useless but don't hinder the performance
4. I don't like the buttons are the base of the S3 - too close to the bottom of the unit, they look like an after-thought
5. I like the notification toggles in the S3 - they're handy. Why HTC got rid of 'Quick Settings' in the stock ROM build is beyond me
6. Having a removable battery/SD card IS a benefit and one HTC should have catered for
7. Autobrightness is quite low on the S3 - my Dad has to turn the screen up a lot for him to see it properly (he is getting old tho! )
8. WiFi works fine on both the S3 and One X from my experience, no issues with either
Overall I prefer the One X but the S3 isn't as bad as people think. OK it's a bit platicky but other than that it is a good phone - just not for me

neva had any issues with wifi... this is an excellent device... my colleague has an S3 and never saw him using any of the fancy features that S3 boasts about... he was going gaga over some of the features, but then he's also had some software issues... the touchwiz is the crappiest ones out there... there's nothing premium about the S3... i hate samsung personally...:cyclops:

hey again guys i'm just going to stay with my hox and i'm not having problems with anything i liked the s3 because of the smart features but i rooted my one x and evreything is working fine and actually there is an app called smart stay does the same thing that the feature of the s3 does and there is another called super video that gives you that pop up video thing of the s3 if you have an one x be sure to download those to apps and thanks for your answers everyone and stay high on android don't go with the iphone!

I have a HOX. Awesome phone but I HATE the stock Internet browser on there everyone u scroll up it pulls menus up. And it has a severe lack of multitasking or switching between apps , even the iPhone has a double tap on the home button that brings up recent apps. The screen on HOX is amazing tho and tbh I don't think sense is all that bad I liked it. I have my eyes on the S3 tho, I like it but as I'm hearing all this stuff about problems with it I'm thinking im gonna wait till next wednesday and see what Apple has to offer with the iPhone 5

First, the OP was barely understandable.
Secondly, this is the 1500000 effing comparison thread to the effing S3. If you or he want a goddamn s3 yeah. Go to that forum and go for broke. XDA wants you where you fit. That's why there are neat TITLES in each section.

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?

At my school they know my word is golden- I have the best phone available, and nobody else has it. I love being a tech geek. But really, If youre not on sprint or verizon you should just get a nexus 4. Its almost the same thing, but better software side. Also, not many people like LG so not as many users (or devs) as we would like. JB is on its way though. I tried a few methods along with other devs, and well get eventually.

Before I made up my mind on this phone I did a little research..I read so many articles downing this phone..the UI seemed cartoonish..unable to access the battery..no microSD slot..how it had great specs "but"
Man they really missed it on this one
I agree, this phone is truly amazing and I'm certain with its international releases it won't take long for the word to spread

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

Thinking about picking up one

I have the galaxy note 2 right now and was thinking about getting the note 3 until I saw the side by side front panel comparisons. I have had samsung phones for years and was debating on getting the one. The phone was released 6 months ago and that kind of worries me becuase technology seems to move so fast. So my question to you guys is how do y all like it? I played with my uncles the other day and I loved the build quality and the front speakers. How good is sense?

I've been an HTC guy for years, I've tried a couple of Samsung's (Galaxy S(fascinate), Galaxy Nexus,S4) and I keep coming back to HTC.
Personally, I can't stand anything bigger than the Rezound/Galaxy Nexus. I returned the S4 because I couldn't find a comfortable way to hold it. The DNA wasn't much better (gave to my mother after a week)
The HTC one is a perfect fit size wise, I honestly don't know how anyone can use the note's as a phone... Just too big.
I may be sticking with the HTC one for a Long time, I love the build quality, design and the size (as compared to all the phones on the market now)

I came from the S3 and so far, it's a very nice phone. I really like how it feels in the hand when you are talking and I like how I can swype with one hand. As far as speed, it doesn't really feel faster than my S3, they feel about the same. Sense is fine, I use Nova as my primary launcher. Battery is good, better than the S3. But keep in mind, it's not unlocked right now and we don't know if any devs are working on it.

I have watched a couple of videos and they say the phone doesnt lag at all. Is this true? I had the s4 for a couple weeks. It had some lag here and there. How much screen time do you guys get
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app

I've had 0 issues with lag on this phone, the speed is pretty staggering.

i've had the phone for a week and have been very impressed with it. Battery gets me through a day. its very fast as well i haven't noticed any lag.

I haven't seen any of these high end phones lag. I'm thinking some people just like drama. Great phone. Use my rule though be happy and make your purchase based on what is on the phone assuming it will never be unlocked. I've been pretty happy using the logic. I'm unlocked myself, but also happy running rooted stock sometimes.

Long time HTC user up until recently had the sg3/sg4/
This phone is great, I highly suggest it.
The build quality i superior to Samsung, and IMO we have a much better chance of unlock root for this phone than on the s4.
I have a good feeling I'll be selling my s4 in the near future.

actually, all reviewers for the s4 say that TW lags on it. Haven't seen any on my Note 2, but I don't even have TW installed. Probably just needs better optimization.

Re read my post. I've used an s4 its pretty much just as good. People are biased from time to time. Also as my other post said lag is more perception at this point. These super phones do amazing things. Sometimes I think my keyboard "lags" on the one badly for instance. I also realize the other factors at play. Heck people here in this forum complain about sense 5 being laggy. My point is that lag is half perception.

Lag doesnt bother me that much as long as it isnt constant. I thought my upgrade was this month but its not until October. I think im going to call verizon and see if I can talk them into giving me an upgrade early

I'm in the same boat. I currently have a note 2 and thinking of either the HTC one or moto x. I love the build quality of the One but love that the moto x is pretty much stock android. If this phone had an unlock/root method, it would be a no brainer. I just hope something comes soon for it and then I could load a Google experience ROM or something
Decisions, decisions...

I would honestly just be happy with root. That way I can use titanium backup and some of the other root apps I use
