im getting a new metro pcs phone and i was looking into getting the htc wildfire s. however i know the rom on it is really slow and im wondering if there is actually a good rom( hopefully cm9 but cm7 will do).
i searched and most of the stuff is pretty old now.
thanks
I cannot stress this enough. DO NOT GET THIS PHONE. Not only is it an outdated p.o.s. you'd also have the cdma version which is almost ignored here as far ANY cm Rom. Get the one x as It's forum is a much more friendly place for cdma.

Word of advice..........NEVER THINK OF BUYING 2 YEAR OLD PHONES!!! If i remember hard enough........The one V has a CDMA version(dont know it comes with metropcs though).....Else see phones like the LG optimus L series,The Desire C,The Desire VC.....BUT DONT BUY THE WILDFIRE S
FYI Tmobile bought MetroPCS so your actually buying the phone from Tmobile.

I'm thinking of changing my g2 for a g2x or another 4G celphone
Depends, the main selling point of the G2 over any of Tmo's 4g phones is the Keyboard, (IMO). it happens to be, I may pick one up in a few months after it's been rooted and such. I wan't to see what the Dev community is going to be like on a phone like that.
I was going to do the same, but decided to wait for the Pyramid instead

good idea
G2x doesn't seem to bring anything new so I'm sticking with my g2. Next year whatever the best phone for tmo is, if its white then I will get it. Seeing a white nexus s is so amazing, it made me fall in love with white phones.

The G2x doesn't offer anything new?
It's dual core (first for T-Mobile and one of the first period)
8MP camera vs 5MP on G2
FFC (if you care about such things)
HDMI out (first for T-Mobile)
AT&T compatible radio (will get 3G or "4G" speeds post merger)
I can see the case for waiting for future phones but honestly the G2x is the most "new" phone on T-Mobile since the Nexus One.
Oh my mistake. I thought it was just a g2 with dual core.

G2x is no good. Htc much better than lg.

Aha next year... I hope the fcc doesn't aprove of At&T then maybe ill think of buying a new phone next year. G2x sounds nice but I want a phone made by HTC

At least LG isn't starting to use signed bootloaders unlike HTC.
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.

I can't wait for the evo I'm happy we are getting 4g by next month when the phone comes out thank got my birth day is in June do I can get it plus its an evo 3d with ics so I'm super excited I just hope it will work with current evo 3d roms

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

Hey guys, currently I'm using the x2 with cm7 and wifi tethering with radio mod. I just found out I might have 4h lte where I live, this would speed up my Internet a lot but I'm unsure what phone I should look into getting as far as moding the radio card and best phone all around after rooting.
Thanks

Does anyone have any tips? Or reasons to buy/not to buy any of the 4g phones?

Razr Maxx! Any 4g lte dual core will kick ass.
Right and I'm sure they will. But I don't want to end up with another "x2" this phone is totally cap the devs are doing there best buy its still not that good =/

I say go with the HTC Rezound. Even though I don't know the Rezound the specs are amazing. Even though the Rezound has an LCD display it beats the RAZR/MAXX display. And you can extend the battery/sd card with the Rezound. Sense is better than Motoblur anyway.
If you want a high end qwerty go with the Droid 4, thats what I have now. Same specs as the razr execpt it has an LCD display insted of AMOLED.
Unlike the Motorola devices, there is a method to unlock the bootloader.
I'll have to look into the rezoned. Do you know if it had the radio card hack for tethering so it's not able to be monitored =P and I agree Moto blur pretty much sucks

I would wait for GS3 for couple of months. Not the 3G ones btw.
I'm wanting something I can mod and that's not going to cost a ton

So I've had my vision for almost 2-3years now or something like that. absolutely love it, but I'm pretty sure I can get an upgrade and apparently they are doing away with those so I have to act fast. Basically I don't know what to get.. there's the gs3 or one s would be my 2 choices.. any thoughts?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app
I've been looking myself, but haven't found anything I really want yet. The 'Era 42' rumors have been quiet, but I'm still hoping a G3 will get released.
If not I plan on just getting a GNex and going off contract. Between the price of the phone and off contract plans, I'll end up saving money in the long run.

If you are thinking of looking at the HTC One S, then have a look at the Motorola Razr M. A few reviewers like Engadget like the phone (some doesn't like the camera) but perhaps it might be on your list of consideration?
My GS3 will be here tomorrow. I've always said that I wanted a phone with qwerty, but I recently realized that it's been a long time since I've even opened the keyboard on my G2. Swiftkey is what caused that to happen, so I know I'll be happy with the GS3.
There is a new "Galaxy S" Qwerty coming out from Samsung, supposedly has a dual core S4 inside, so it has good guts.
Other than that, the GS3 and new Nexus devices would be the only ones I would look at.
Go for the s3. just like me
Just keeping my DZ as long as a new Nexus comes out.

Please no more what phone to get therads.
Thread Closed
So here it is. Time to upgrade. Followed the Eris->Inc 1->Inc 2 path so obviously I seem to like HTC phones but the Galaxy S3 seems like a nice one too. Since I like the Inc's I'm stuck choosing between a Incredible 4G LTE and a Samsung Galaxy S3. Anyone have helpful info or opinions?
Darn shame we can't get the HTC One on Verizon....at least not officially afaik...

I thought there was talk about it coming in the Summer.
Wait for the GS4 to hit big red. I'm not gonna pick HTC anymore due to this phone not getting updated n the lies. Shoot November hits I might even switch to sprint

My upgrade is on the 17th & I'm getting the SGSIII. I think it's a solid phone & I don't think the SGS4 is not a big enough upgrade for me to consider. However, i'm more purchasing the SGSIII because of price. Just me though.
