Thoughts so far

So far I love the phone. The feel and weight of the phone just seems better then my Captivate(which I gave to my wife). After not getting data on the phone unless I had WiFi on kind of sucked, but if you make a new network. You will be able to gain data back.
The only thing I am not liking is when I set up my HTC sense with Facebook, it put all my friends from facebook into my contacts list in my phone. I do not want all my friends on the list. I have tried and figure out how to delete from the list but cant figure it out. Anyone know how?
I also side loaded a few apps using the SLW program, once you download HTC sync on your computer it was easy.
I cant wait until this phone gets rooted so I can go in and change some stuff around, like ringtones. You can have custom ringtones when the phone is not plugged in to the USB but once you plug the USB in, it reverts back to the stock ringtones because it thinks shuts off your SD Card. Well you know what, I guess I can have the option to only have it charge will plugged in. That might work.
Other then that me loves the phone. Glade my wife had an upgrade so I could get the phone for $79.99 from Costco and a free charger with it. She loves my old Captivate so I was like hell ya ill trade ya!

Ha I love it...got a feeling alot of wives will be getting a captivate tommorow

I have the Evo for sprint which should be similar. Open your People/contacts app, hit menu, and you should see an option that says 'View'. Select view to choose which contacts you want displayed and deselect your Facebook account.

Ok so in the people and contacts it has my correct contacts. What am talking about is when you look at the phone on the homescreen you see the button that says phone. If you click on that it will show every one of my Facebook friends, even the ones they I dont have in my contact list. I dont want them there.

I haven't mentioned to my wife yet... she's gonna wonder why the hell I'm getting up early on a Sunday morning, probably think I'm having an affair, lol.

You are, with the Inspire 4G. hahaha

I dont regret it for a second, yeah no Real 4G but we have root, roms and radios NOW.
Also, for those that just want to install apps and leave the phone stock you can go to this thread created by me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943174
The phone feels so polished and the screen is awesome, no Craptivate screen but it will turn heads.
We have accomplished so much in so little time.
Thanks to all the devs and porters out there, this is already a more than worthwhile device and for the price you can not beat it.
Atrix is just a bad memory of Motoblur hell, good luck trying to even root that damn thing.. hahaha

Ok I know what you're saying, and I didn't even realized my phone did that until you just mentioned it. I didn't see a way to get rid of them either.
If this is bothering you because you have to scroll through so many more names to get to the contact you want to dial, have you tried the t9 smart dialer feature? Lets say you want to dial 'John', instead of scrolling all the way down to his name, just spell out his name via t9 (5 for 'j', 6 for 'o', 4 for 'h', etc). The contacts that match what you're typing will appear and you don't have to scroll through all the names. My Evo and other HTC sense phones do this ( stock android doesn't, but you can download other dialers in the market that do). If you already knew this and just don't want the names to appear, can't help you there.

I really, really like this phone. My ear speaker is great, although the external speaker is a little weak. Not a huge deal though, just had to select the high pitched notifications to be sure to hear them.

I thought it was interesting that Facebook .com thought my phone was a nexus one
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

i went to check this out in the store today. a few thoughts
-size is great. i compared it to my nexus one w/seidocase and it is only slightly larger... like less than a .25" larger in width and length
-weight is great. very comparable to n1 w/case
-sense 2.0 looked pretty slick.
-very fast... zero lag.
-my only stickler was the screen. i could see the "grid" dots on the display unit. is this typical of slcd?

Love it already and havent had it 5 hours yet, beats my old htc surround hands down.

This kicks the captivates ass all around, even unrooted with stock rom. Soooo glad I pulled the trigger... nice to have a decent exchange email client as part of the basic package (sorry touchdown, but the integration is a big plus... I hated the separate address books).

The more I use my phone the more I realize everything works and works well.
Have installed pretty much everything there is and it plays or runs them without a hiccup.
Obviously the only apps it will not run are the ones that require root. My plan is to do this very soon so I can take advantage of those as well.
Every single game I've installed is smooth with no lag.
Emulators work with zero issues, my plan is to try the the psx one next.
You can not measure the battery life right away, it has to get used to a few charges first. See the Desire HD forums and they will say the same.
I've made some calls and can say that it sounds great, I've tried both the loudspeaker and the ear speaker and both sound fine to me.
Obviously the small speaker will not be that loud especially at first. Still planning to use DSP Manager to see if it fixes it.
I've still to try out the gps while moving in the vehicle as well.
Build quality is very satisfying and is what's expected from HTC.
Where I had trouble getting 3G I am now getting a constant H+ according to the phone.
What else can I say I made an excellent choice and with the Sideload Wonder Machine, root, radio and custom ROMs there's room to make this phone even better with those options.

why i HAD to leave the Inspire :(

loved the inspire, loved the size, loved the screen, and loved the battery life with AD revolution
last friday my phone was acting a little strange, choppy etc. got a call that my wife suffered a seizure (turned out to not be one) but on the way to the hospital, my inspire froze when trying to call out, lost signal and rebooted TWICE. i could not get a hold of anyone where she was. i was so mad. the next day after she was home, i went to best buy and exchnged back to the IP4. i do miss the inspire, but as im sure some of you may agree, it was an atual "reason" to return. left a bad taste
hope to come back some day with another phone..miss android (kinda), and that nice big screen...
anyway..jsut thought i would share..

Was this on the stock rom when it happened...?

It allowed you to install a modified firmware.

You certainly can access third party apps by jailbreaking (Cydia) but definetely cannot change the whole firmware of the device to your liking

No, you cannot load custom iOS ROMs onto an iPhone.

Same here I use the speakerphone a lot while driving due to the law here in Cali...but figured out the problem see just like you I thought when in speakermode I'd use the Mic on the bottom usually to answer calls but my bro kept telling me I sounded far or distorted and I was like wtf serious?...if this phone is beast!!
It just hit me and decided to talk to him using the Mic next to the led lights and BAM! sound was perfect again so he said..from now on I talk facing at the camera LOL..
I don't think this is a Rom issue since I'm not rooted yet but it could be just my phone or can anyone else verify?

We're stealing the thread, but I also just figured out that the phone uses ONLY the rear mic when on speaker phone. You can yell as loud as you want into the bottom mic but you will still sound far away if you don't have the phone flipped over to speak into the back. I have not been able to find a setting that changes this, using stock Sense.

There's always risks involved when modding your cell. This was probably your fault for the inspire failing in such way I've never heard of yet.. but not hating here just my 2cents and well we all do it because its liberating and dangerous that you could end up with just a paperweight...My inspire hasnt dropped any calls at all nor having to reboot 2x just to make a call...
Left my iphone4 and never looked back because the inspire is such a beast. Been JB iphones since 1.0 and seen nasty bugs and bricks that scared the shat out of me too but itunes restore always prevailed just like RUU would..iOS just bores me completely now and thank Jeebus for jumping ships to Android, you have to jailbreak and use cydia vs marketplace that is out of the box..tralala

I ended up going back to my IP4 from the Inspire also.
Basically for me it was the horrible sound quality and low speaker volume I finally got fed up with. I did notice the reception is a bit better on the IP4.
All the regular apps I use are available on both, but they were just much smoother on the iPhone. I do miss the big screen on the Inspire.

I would also add that this situation highlights the importance of having nandroid backups on your SD. IMO you should always have a nandroid of the stock ROM (or in the case of the Inspire, as close to stock as available) so that you can fall back to a working ROM if necessary.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

I feel like I have heard that dropped calls are an issue with the existing custom roms, which is why I have yet to root and try one. Well, that and I haven't really had any need to root. That may change.
Personally, I have found the call quality and reception on the stock rom to be quite good. I use a BT headset so I am not sure about speakerphone.

Sick of low volume levels?

Check out sound hack by meltus for sensation in market. Doesn't require root. Only runs on gingerbread 2.3 for now. Works well!!!!!

Does it boost volume of the speakerphone during calls? The speaker on the back of the Sensation goes about as loud as the earspeaker on other phones.

Sent from within Hell using XDA App

Meltus' only app that "officially" supports the S4G is the Volume+ sound hack. It works for me but it is not free. I think its 1.60usd. All I can say is to try it for 15 mins and play with the settings as I did or try the other threads settings to see if it works for you before the 15 mins are up.

if you reed the description, the app is paid on the market, but their is a download link of the same program, but slightly older version (still going to be updated in the future, as far as i know) that you can get from the developers website.

This means try the free one, and if you want the extra features and know you like the app, get the paid app from the market

Volume+ (Sound Boost) APK
here is the latest ver. of Volume+ (Sound Boost)

No Luck
I cant get volume+ to work after i bought it. It tells me "(process com.TEST.android.lvh) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again" I have PlayerPro installed. could that be causing the conflict?

ok quick question and theory here. i bought the standard case from bodyglove from tmobile with my sensation, and i just took it off and notice lil holes all over the back of the phone. i know alot of devices with speakers and mics have this to do sound cancellation and what not. if u guys got cases on maybe the case is muffling the sounds and making the volume super low just cause i thinks it doesnt have to be loud. i doubt this is the reason but just wanted to throw it out there.

You can try Equalizer from the market. I got it and it definitely works.

Good point. I have the bodyglove case as well. But i think the only speaker is on the back and top of device. So i dont think theres a problem there. Unless the case covered the top hole on right of camera.

Coming soon to a thunderbolt near me.

Bringing my Revolution back as soon as I can (Saturday) because...among other things ... the headphone jack isn't compatible with my beats by Dre. Anyways I have been reading about the thunderbolt and I think I am going to really love it ans I cant wait. Anyways I was just wondering what are the common problems being had with this phone and have they been fixed or been in the process of being fixed? Mainly ask this because I have heard some bad things about this phone dojng rrandom stupid things like rebooting 20 times a day etc...?

My only complaint is battery life which is a 4G thing. You're probably aware, but if I'm not mistaken the TB battery life is smaller than the Revo's.
Expect to disable your data a lot, and run WiFi often. There is a great dev community though!

Awesome I am excited...yea I get really good battery life with my revolution but its all good I stay near my charger hahah

Those headphones may not be compatible with the ThunderBolt either. I use the Bose MIE2 and they are very nice but pricey. Good sound, especially with the equalizer set to R&B, call button works and I use software to also use the call button to advance tracks and boost the volume occasionally when outdoors.
Some people have problems with the phone rebooting and occasional data connectivity issues but this is probably being fixed soon. I don't have these problems any more and I suspect the great majority of people have these issues very infrequently or not at all. Biggest issue for most people is battery life but I'm used to having a couple of spare batteries on all my phones so I don't give it a second thought.
Thanks, Robrecht

the only common problem seems to be reboots that they are releasing a fix for. Of course that fix has been delayed at least once.
My wife and I have only had 1 reboot each in 2 weeks with the phones. Other than that, it bogs down occasionally so I have a task killer I use manually when that happens. The phone takes forever to reboot...
Battery life sucks. You can do all those things that are counterproductive to having a smartphone like turning off data, turning off wifi, turning down the screen brightness...
I just bought 2 extra batteries with chargers so I switch them out as needed. The thunderbolt is pretty slow at charging batteries. I could go from 20-30% on my hd7 to a full charge in around an hour, but this phone takes 3-4.
Overall, it is a good android device. Right now for verizon it's either lte (thunderbolt, charge, revolution) or dual core (x2).
I went for the network speeds and don't regret it.

If you are worried about your headphones not working with a phone, make sure to test the headphones on the Thunderbolt display model before buying.

I have the ibeats with sound control, and the button controls send and end and long pressing pulls up voice search. You do have to go into call settings and set tty to vco but it does work.

Just to be clear...when I say they do not work I am not talking about tthe control talk. I am talking about unless I physically hold my headphone connector into the jack It doesn't stay contacted enough to even play music really? So that being said you are saying this will not work in the TB either? That wouldn't make any sense to me being as its HTC phone and every HTC phone I have had (many) has had 3.5mm jack compatibility ....?

[Q] Any app or equalizer for non-rooted HTC ONE X to increase speaker VOLUME?

So, as title says. Anyone know of one that works on non-rooted ONE X?
Yes for the speaker, since I find it so low. I want to increase it for music and games.
I dont plan on rooting or modding my phone. Hopefully theres something out there.

Volume+ which has both a paid and free app on the Play Store (free version has less features). But the paid app is also available free on the dev's website (forum signup required).
Read the dev's cautions, as boosting the volume over what the device is designed for can damage the speaker.

So far tried 3 different versions of VOL+ from newest to older. None of them work. Hmmmm
Turning the knob to max doesnt do crap. Tried 1-8 1-15 and nothing.
