Moving On to HTC Inspire

Hey guys. I'm actually relatively new on the forums, though I've had my Captivate since December last year. I have been using ROMs from these forums since the third day I had my phone, I just never registered.
Anyway, I just feel I should make a post thanking everyone. Mostly MikeyMike01 and ChanceM, because the third ROM I ever flashed was Serendipity. And I've been using Serendipity since then. I have indeed flashed things in between, but the longest I've ever had a non-Serendipity ROM on my phone has been less than an hour. So it's safe to say that Serendipity is a physical part of my phone now... In fact, since I'm getting the HTC Inspire, my brother is getting my Captivate (his first Android phone), and the ROM that I pre-loaded for him is Serendipity 5.12. That's how much I trust/love this ROM.
Anyway, does anyone have any opinions on the HTC Inspire? I remember seeing one other person in these forums who switched to the same phone, saying that it seemed like a more sturdy phone.
I will thoroughly miss these Captivate forums though. Thanks are as follows:
MikeyMike01
ChanceM
existz (I use SuckerPunch-Voodoo)
Samsung (LOL I use the KP1 modem, dunno who to thank for this one)
Anyone else who has some sort of mod on my phone.

its way faster and way more enjoyable, I wouldnt go back for nothing u will definately like it.

I couldn't justify spending $500 on a software upgrade.
The SGS2 seems interesting though. Have to find a place to import it fit a reasonable price... The international version is completely AT&T compatible.

We've already proven that Samsung isn't the problem, its at&t. The i9000 already getting gingerbread.

I think Samsung does a decent job, the i9000 roms are pretty close to perfect without any mods.

I wouldn't push it that far....
After weighing all the pros and cons of the Galaxy S series and the upcoming 2 (talking about the internation/original here), the Galaxy S 2 will most likely be my next device. Decent build, decent software, hardware is top notch, and that screen is something I can't drop now that I've stared at it for so long. Knowing that the international Galaxy S 2 works with AT&T's HSPA+ bands without modifications is also a deciding factor.

please help me out. I'm with rogers canada they are sending me iphone 4. There is no way ill use or open it cause of previous experience. So I'm gonna sell it for 500. Now if you had to buy any of this phone which you would get? Atrix, sgs2, dhd, or nexus s. DHD already available here and nexus s and atrix coming this month. Sgs2 heard somewhere at&t version will be available. So which you would get?

I'd never pay that much for a phone. I'm buying it because my father's iPhone 4 is now eligible for upgrade, but he doesn't want a new phone so we're using his upgrade for mine.

Agreed for the most part. AT&T held back the Froyo ROM without a doubt for stupid reasons, but we aren't sure if the i9000 is actually getting Gingerbread. Yeah, it was leaked, but so was Froyo way back when. I understand that Froyo wasn't released for our phone mostly because of AT&T, but you can't be so sure; it's still just a "leak".

Not true at all. Serendipity is the closest I've found to perfect, but it's still a ROM. From experience and from hearing other people speak about the Inspire, you don't really even need to put a ROM on the HTC Inspire 4G for it to be perfect. I'm definitely going to flash something (maybe something that'll remove Sense UI, I'm not sure if I'll like it), but most of the features in the ROMs are already found on the phone as stock.

I would not get the DHD. I have a friend who has it, and it's just overhyped. It's not as good as everyone makes it seem.
The Nexus S is pretty much like this phone in which you'll have the same amount of development. The hardware may be different in technical respects, but the same in user experience.
The SGS 2 isn't released yet, but when it is, it's going to be a great phone. If it was already released, I'd consider buying it, but I'm not going to wait for it to come out.
The Atrix is somewhat overkill, but if you're entering college or have a need for a netbook/small laptop with basic features (e-mail, Facebook, etc.), then the Atrix is for you. It's just expensive, even with a contract.
Also, please post questions in the Q&A forum; that's why it's there.

Try Cognition 4.1 on your captivate. You won't be disappointed.
The Inspire kicks ass.

Between CM7 and MIUI on the Inspire it blows anything and everything out of the water in the Captivate/i9000 forums. After seeing how Samsung utterly destroys their phones with Touchwiz, I'll never buy a Samsung phone again.
Go with the Inspire and you will not be disappointed.

So DHD is not that good but inspire 4G is recommended? it's a bit confusing. Isn't the inspire 4G just a DHD with another name? Is there something I am missing?

The inspire is a downgrade hardware wise. Should of held out for something more amazing that's coming out this year. If it doesn't have a dual core I'm not interested.

They are basically the same phone. So that suggestion doesn't make much sense...
Inspire is a downgrade in hardware but upgrade in software. Add to that the rooting is quite a pain compared to the captivate...

Ohhhhh I thought you were talking about a phone that doesn't exist (Droid HD anyone?).
Anyway, yes, the phones are almost completely similar. It's just that the DHD is European, I believe.

How so? It has a lower pixel density and a Super LCD, which are both a downgrade, but I don't watch videos on my phone. Otherwise, how is it a downgrade? It has 700 somewhat MB of RAM, gets amazing Quad and Linpack scores compared to the Captivate (I don't base opinions on benchmarks, though), and Sense UI, though I might not use Sense...

the insipire isnt much of an upgrade. did u already get it? i personally would still take my captivate over it

I honestly can't see any of the current phones destroy the captivate in functionality and flexibility except for the nexus S. Pure google + decent specs.

The inspire blows cap away in speed, everyone in inspire forums will tell u that and almost all of them are previous captivate owners and switched to it, even blows the atrix away, call it a downgrade or whatever put whatever spin u like on it and its still the top phone to beat. and it works out of the box the radio even works great, i get no random shut downs my battery consumption is better then cappy, I dont get lag at all, it will load any program faster and run it better then the cappy did, watch a video on youtube about it, http://www.smartphoneenvy.com/featured/face-off-htc-inspire-4g-vs-samsung-captivate/ and yes no doubt there will be more better phones out this year same as 6 months from then there will be even more, with my 6 month early upgrade it cost me 300 to get it which I certainly can live with, in 6 months i will get another of the better phones out of the time.

I gave my Cap to my aunt. I have Serendipity 5.12 on it and MIUI on my Inspire. I have around 75 apps on the Inspire and it booted quicker, unlocked quicker, and the notification bar pulled down with no lag at all.
I was running CM7 on it and it was even faster than that.
The screen difference isn't that big of a deal, either, and I've stared at the SAMOLED screen since last August.

[Q] Keep Nexus S or take back for SGS2?

I bought a nexus S May 26. I left my pre for it. I was happy with my pre, but the battery life had become unbearable (4-6 hrs) and the sales person was good. My opening line to him was, "I don't want the Nexus S bc it is last gen tech No dual core no gyroscope." Anyways I was talked into getting it.
Now the rumors are running rampant with news of the Samsung Within coming in July! (I know this does not amount to anything) I called sprint and straight up asked the rep if sprint was getting a galaxy S 2. He put me on hold for a min while he asked he higher up when he came back he told me "I can neither confirm nor deny sprint getting a galaxy S 2"
The Nexus S is a great phone. Although I have been able to make it stutter while loading web pages (engadget joystiq). The battery life is good, but anything is good coming from the pre with an old battery.
So my prob is do I return my Nexus S in the next 2 days and wait for the SGS2 to come out? Or be happy with what I got?
I am open to ALL opinions.

I would just get the SGS2. The phone is more "future proof", and if you're going to be running custom roms on it anyway, then all the more so.
Only reason I'd go for NS over SGS2 at this time is the stock barebones android vs the bada UI which I don't quite like.
I got my NS in January cos it made sense then. 6 months later, I can't say I would do it again.

Agree that SGS2 will be pretty much future proof. However, any improvements in hardware ( dual core) will not create any noticeable effects on daily usage.
My best bet is to wait I guess. And furthermore no phones are future proof
Hummingbirds are pretty much for now.

Have you played with the SGS2? It just launched under Starhub yesterday right?
It's a pretty sweet device. IMO, the only thing the NS has over the SGSII is that we're gonna get ICS first. That's if you're gonna flash custom ROMs of course.
At this point, hardware-wise, SGSII is the best Android phone there is. It's got all the goodness of the NS but that dual core processor instead of a single.

Yes, but however I went to test the SGS2 I found that the software isn't as optimized as NS. And moreover, the ram management just isn't up to the mark.

Ive owned both and will say that the sgs2 is hands down the fastest stock phone made right now. But the problem with both phones is that you will get bored with them very fast. If your like me that is.
Bottom line, if i were choosing between the 2 I'd take the sgs2 over the sns in a heart beat. The sgs2 is gaining dev attention fast and that will make it more fun.
Just my opinion.
Sent from my Transformer TF101

a few questions about the sgs4g? Need to return my sensation and g2x!!

The two premium phones I have are both POSes. The g2x has so many issues and the battery sucks sooo bad and the sensation has it's fair share, plus it can't be rooted yet, or modded much at this time, looks like htc don't care much about it. Plus I'm gonna save money by going to a cheaper phone. Also returning to Costco, I won't be selling them.
I had a sprint epic 4g, another galaxy s phone. The screen was great, but I didn't need the keyboard and the battery life sucked and the gps/compass had major issues.
My questions are:
A. Does the sgs4g have compass or gps issues?
B. How is the battery life with the relatively huge 1650mah battery?
C-a. Is there an official gingerbread rom or just leaked versions? And if so, what issues do they have?
C-b. If not, does Samsung have plans to have an official 2.3 rom or no?
D. Is there a collective agreement as to what rom has the best battery life? Don't care about speed much.
E. I know this phone is fast enough, but slower than what I have, I need good battery life, FYI, not a question, I know.
Thanks in advance everyone!

Some people seem to have GPS issues and others don't. There is no official 2.3 yet but an official gingerbread update has been confirmed for the sgs4g. The battery is good and with a few tweeks it is great. I get 20 hours on moderate use and around 12 on heavy use. My wife had the g2x and it was a turd. Its gone now. In my opinion the sgs 4g is better.

yeah, I'm the OP on the thread linked above. I really wanted to like the G2x, but just too many issues.
I know some people said that they have issues with the GPS, but mine is solid, and locks typically within 10 seconds (longer if indoors). Battery life so far is OK. I'm happy if I get a day, and so far, for the 2 days I've had it, it hasn't been a problem. For best battery life, it appears that the Bali kernel is best...I just flashed the Bali UV kernel this morning. Camera is nicer (much) on the G2x, but the SGS4G's camera is serviceable.

even with the gs4g being an essentially year old device, Id still take it over the sensation and the g2x. Hands down. No comparison. Get rid of touchwiz and this thing flies. Then you have all of samsungs video codecs+super amoled+hummingbird.
The only phone i will switch to would be a successor to the galaxy series. I.E. Galaxy s2, or the Infuse 4G (even tho its an att phone). its gotta have super amoled or better for me to use anything else.

[Q] Considering Thunderbold

I'm looking to move to Verizon (for coverage reasons - I travel in the rural midwest and plains and have issues with AT&T coverage).
I currently have a Samsung Captivate, running a Gingerbread custom rom. I have no desire to get another Samsung phone - there post release ROM development is non-existent. Don't get me started.
It seems that all of the Android phones currently on Verizon have some issue (from my perspective), but the closest to being a good all-around smartphone is the Thunderbolt.
The primary issue with the TBolt is battery life (from what I can tell).
Here's my question:
Using a stock battery and running a custom rom is it reasonable to get 14 hours of battery life with the following usage:
- 2 hours talk time
- 1 hour email
- 30 minutes web browsing
- 1 hour streaming music (OK, I could do without this)
[edit] From browsing the TBolt Dev Forums, I am leaning towards the Cl3anTh3ory ROM. [/edit]
I would have 2 email accounts - 1 GMail, set up for push notification, 1 IMAP that would poll every 30 min (using K9). I have 6 GCal's to sync and just over 300 contacts.
If I can get 14 hours, here's a follow up question: would you personally wait for the next round of phones to be announced (Sept and Oct) or would you go ahead with a TBolt for $69 (from Amazon with 2 yr contract)?
thanks,

Any future HTC released for Verizon is going to have the same basic guts as an EVO 3D with LTE. At this point, the Tbolt is right in the prime of development. The newer bases are much better in every area and I have no problems getting the kind of life you need doing a bit more than what your asking. My setup is in my sig. Being mostly on cdma, as it sounds like you would be, will stretch your battery even further. And if the stock battery doesn't do the job, the 1750mAh unit that's the same size certainly will.

More than possible. Check out gingeritis 3d and chingys 7/17 radio leak. I get over 24+ hours with average use
Sent from my TBolt using my f***king thumbs...

Using custom roms, definitely

id wait for the tbolt successor or the gs2 to come tbh.

myself, I would probably wait and see what htc announces next, or maybe the bionic if it ever hits the shelves. Depending on those releases, yeah the tbolt is a great phone that should meet your needs. It's not hard for me to swap batteries if needed, but with the newer roms, battery life is improving.

by the time the bionic comes it will be outdated. verizon waits too long to release phones.

I'm assuming the bionic will have locked boot loaders, which a deal breaker for me. Also, not sure about a 4.5" screen... I actually prefer 4", but can live with 4.3". But 4.5"? Guess it depends on overall device size and weight.

It'd possible on monolithth3ory or cl3anth3ory.

AT&T is no competition to Verizon.
They lack the customer service and the network to compete.

The only phones rumored to have larger than 4.3" screens so far are 2 Samsung phones, and they are expected to be similar to the size of current 4.3" phones because the extra screen size will most likely be in the area of the current buttons at the bottom since ice cream sandwich will not need them. The Bionic has been confirmed to be 4.3"

(Q) how do you like your skyrocket?

Im currently on the infuse but im gonna be upgrading using my moms upgrade ( ill just buy her a cheap flip phone since thats what she likes ) the skyrocket looks pretty attracting...similar screen, but with alot better hardware
so i have some questions...answer what ever questions you want, i have a basic feel from looking at specs but i want actual user refrences:
1) How smooth does the phone run?
2) how is the devolpment scene?
4) how many custom roms are there-not ports?
5) how do you like lte?
6) whats your favorite part of the phone-what do you hate the most?
7) hows battery life?
8) how much do you think the price will drop once the skyrocket hd is released?
9) would the hd be able to run the same roms with out porting? I know we wont really know until its released but just curious
10) would you recommend this phone to a friend? lol had to ask it
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to answer my questions
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

1) How smooth does the phone run? Very smooth, even on stock, but you make it crappy if you have too much going on. As with anything.
2) how is the devolpment scene? It's good considering the new chipset.
4) how many custom roms are there-not ports? Enough to feed addiction, if that's why you're asking.
5) how do you like lte? Don't have LTE in my area so can't say.
6) whats your favorite part of the phone-what do you hate the most? Best part is the screen size, worst part is the screen resolution (alternative is to increase the resolution using DPI apps.)
7) hows battery life? This isn't exactly an objective question, but I've seen ranges from 6 hours - 24 hrs.
8) how much do you think the price will drop once the skyrocket hd is released? Generally the price drops about $50 from contract price. More if it's a promotion.
9) would the hd be able to run the same roms with out porting? I know we wont really know until its released but just curious. You're right so can't say.
10) would you recommend this phone to a friend? If my friend had an infuse, no I wouldn't recommend it because of the new exynos chips that will be coming soon and the S4 chips that are coming. If my friend was impatient and rich enough then yes, I would. If my friend had a large enough hand then I would suggest trying the note first then getting the skyrocket.
Good luck with your decision.

1) How smooth does the phone run?
Extremely smooth. It's the fastest I've ever owned.
2) how is the devolpment scene?
Excellent. So many options, it just keep getting better and better.
4) how many custom roms are there-not ports?
Too many. I make nandroid back-ups everyday just to try them all out as they're released.
5) how do you like lte?
I live in Michigan and it's neck and neck, sometimes faster than my home cable connection.
6) whats your favorite part of the phone-what do you hate the most?
It hate the lack of stock camera features like zoom, but this can be fixed with roms lol
7) hows battery life?
Sucks on stock rom better keep it on the charger! However, last an entire day with NexusM0D v2.0 installed.
8) how much do you think the price will drop once the skyrocket hd is released?
Never heard of Skyrocket HD, but knowing AT&T it will probably become free with a two-year contract.
9) would the hd be able to run the same roms with out porting? I know we wont really know until its released but just curious

You can zoom in/out with the camera the same way you zoom in/out on a webpage; pull apart the screen zooms in, pinch the screen zooms out. Unless I'm completely mistaken.

Will the new Exynos chips support LTE? I am thinking about getting the Skyrocket, but one of the things that I was told was that the SR isn't as good as the other SGS2 due to the chips (Exynos being way better than the Qualcomm chips). And how soon? wondering if I should just wait to get that phone or not (Plan on buying a phone within the next 6 months)

1) Very smooth. This is probably the smoothest Android phone I know of next to the Galaxy Nexus.
2) You can go to the development forum and see what's available yourself. In my opinion, it's not so good, but the Skyrocket is still fairly young.
4) N/A
5) It's fine. I don't do anything that really requires that high of a speed, though.
6) My favorite part is its smooth performance. Worst is I hate how I'm constantly losing my place in my browser/apps because they're killed too quick. That's more an Android issue than Skyrocket, though.
7) I'm a superheavy user -- my battery life on the Skyrocket is 5-6 hours. For comparison, I also got roughly 5-6 hours on the Samsung Captivate, 6-7 hours on the old WinMo smartphones, 11-13 hours with the iPhone, and 13+ hours with Nokia Symbian phones.
8) Probably $100-$150
9) N/A
10) Assuming that friend is comfortable with Android, then yes.
