So what to do with you old Android

So you bought a Thunderbolt. Your now a second generation Androidian. What to do with your old phone. I would like to hear your ideas.
I stripped my HTC Incredible down and created another gmail account for it. Then I installed an app called SECuRET SPY CAM. Made a mount with dedicated power. Now I have a home security system. Works better than great. Takes a pic when it senses image change and 2 secs later I'm looking at your mug on my Thunderbolt.
Yes I made that word up Androidia. Put it in WOWWIKI.

I let my sister borrow my Motorola Droid1 to see if she would enjoy having Android over Blackberry. Once she returns it i have no idea what to do with it.

sold it on swappa for 290

I'm keeping my N1 as a backup GSM phone. I'm trying to find a buyer for my G2 though.

I put my old droid on ebay. Someone asked me what is root, cause im selling it rooted Im not even gonna respond to that question, cause i don't think he needs my phone

My 50 year old mother is using my old dinc with skyraider sense she picked it up fast I was impressed

N1 resale value more than covering the cost of my TBolt. I just hope the winning bidder pays up.

I think we have a new motto...
"XDA... A community of elite hackers converting your $400 cell phone into a $19 webcam!"
Classic.

Haven't even moved over to my TB yet and when I do the Dinc will stay as a back up phone for a while.
I'm getting ready to sell my Eris as it was previously used as a back up.

I'm going to hang on to my Eris for a while. I am turning it into a media player/spare GPS/game system for the kids. I am keeping my nand backups so I can get back to fully functional within minutes if needed. Also, while it is in "media/kids" mode I have a different SD card in it so the kids cant screw up too much.
Too bad it won't do Angry Birds...

Thanks for the response on what to do with the old phone. I just have a feeling someone will show up with an idea to make us all facepalm if we sold our old phone.
Thanks for leaving the thread up XDA. I will be back from to check for more ideas.

Well you can cut off most everything by just making the gpu be off and wifi stay off and sticking to airplane only mode. If you do all that then what else is consuming battery? I'd assume most apps wouldn't try to update in airplane mode, and you can uninstall any apps you don't need since you are focusing on it being an mp3 player right? Seems pretty simple to me, what other features would you like a rom to have?

Sadly, I dropped my turbo'd Dinc on the way to a meeting and shattered the screen. 1 day before the release of the Thunderbolt. Considering I was eligible for an upgrade the timing couldn't have been better but I loved my Dinc..

New G2x Owner!

So coming from my nexus that I have had pretty much since launch, I decided to get the G2x. And just wow. This thing is a beast. Totally outshines my poor old nexus! Love the camera and video recording. My only real annoyance with the phone is the fact that sometimes my data connection becomes active again while I'm connected to WiFi and slows any downloads or what not that I'm currently doing. All in all this thing is a beast, now I am just waiting to see how the batter holds up.

Same here. I switched from my Nexus One a couple weeks ago. I'm really liking this new phone tho. Its blazing fast. Battery life could be better and I miss my colored trackball but other than that this phone is great. I've noticed a few very vocal naysayers here in this forum but don't let it sway you. The phone is a beast for sure.
A couple suggestions to get started to make ur experience better:
- Root and get rid of the T-Mobile bloatware. I ended up with Eaglesblood Froyo 1.0.4 rom. It is a stock-based rom. Its super stable and everything works, all the T-Mobile crap is taken out (wifi calling still there but I like that) and has a black notification bar. Any of the gingerbread roms seem to have several stability issues as well as GPS issues.
- Install Juice Defender from the Market. It has greatly improved my battery life.
Have fun. Its a great phone.

Anyone know how to get rid of a persistent voicemail notification?
I checked all my damn voicemails, deleted most of em, and marked the rest as saved, yet the damn thing stays, and it only does this in froyo. When I was testing GB with CM7, didn't have the damn notification. Thoughts?

thanks for the info mate, have had it uninstalled since you mentioned it and no more issues.

Just a little advice from me. Dont read the negatives and take them on as your own.
I've owned the hd2 the vibrant and now this phone. All incredible phones that some how have gained bad reputations but turn out to be really awesome. Running faux asop rom and it rocks. I love it more than my vibrant.

@mcfroger3 dude i had the same problem on froyo i only put a new sim n i had that icon stuck up top for two days! n didnt have any vm's lol but i eventually got a vm and when i deleted that one the icon went away try and get someone to leave u a vm n then delete that see if it works

Any freezing or low signals?

Should I?

Alright guys, I just saw pictures of the new Droid Bionic and I gotta say.....WOW. I am really blown away and I think I really want this, plus, moto said there going to unlock bootloaders (not quite sure why everyone forgot this http://pocketnow.com/android/motorola-promises-android-bootloader-unlock-in-late-2011). What do you guys thing? This phone is one hell of a beast but I also am in love with sense but blurs been winning me over. Thoughts?!?!?

2 fascinates and 2 droid x's later i can say if it aint stock android or htc sense i dont want it.
If it has unlocked bootloader so u can run cm7 then thats a different story but dont hold ur breath.

It's all personal preference. If you want to shell out the money for a bionic go ahead. I am quite happy with my thunderbolt. I really don't see how my experience can be improved much. But then again personal experiences vary.

My expierence with the TB has been great but im definitly worried about our longevity because every time i think about it, the TB just seems like a test bed device for 4G. Ill be honest, the only thing holding me back is HTC Sense because I love the heck out of HTC Sense but I really need that next gen power.

I say give the Bionic a look. The hardware looks great and the new Blur is actually really good.

Thats moto official right there, of course there going to do it (Okay I do realize i sound pretty nieve right there), but still Verizon confermed that they have no problems with letting unlocked bootloaders on their networks so I dont see why it wouldnt happen

I don't think I would believe the "no-locked-bootload" bit until I see it.

No Brainer
HTC Thunderbolt
1) When we need to have conference call we use anyone else's phone because the external speaker on the TB sounds like crap.
2) The ear speaker is so high pitched and scratchy sounding it actually hurts!
3) Mine has a bad head phone amp. (can't add base).
4) battery lasts 4 hours.
5) Takes forever to find satellites.
6) Random reboots.
7) Who needs sense when 3rd party launchers and widgets are better and more configurable.
I could keep going but you're probably bored already. The only thing good about the HTC is it's looks. I'd go for the Moto or wait for a dual core Samsung.

@mcargil05
It sounds like you've had nothing but problems. I am surprised you haven't traded the TB for something else. My speakerphone & ear speaker are no better or worse than any other phone I've used. When I stream music over audiogalaxy thru my car aux port, it sounds as good as my ipod. If your phone amp is bad, that should be covered by warranty & you should be able to swap phones. If you're only getting 4 hours between charges, that's definitely a hardware issue or bad battery, or both. I got 7+ hrs on stock before flashing a battery-sipping kernel (16-20 hrs now). GPS lock in 3-7 secs depending on whether I'm indoors. I had a couple of random reboots right after flashing GB-based rom, but nothing since. It's true that Sense is kinda "take it or leave it", not a lot of customizing options there. But I think it's pretty good for a stock app & it does what I need it to do. I used Launcher Pro on my Captivate & Nexus One, and I don't miss it enough to ditch Sense. Some ppl absolutely despise Sense, so there will always be demand for alternative launchers & widgets. Good luck with your TB, if you decide to keep it.

I would trade my Bolt for a Bionic IF the bootloader is unlocked. And I wouldn't be an early adopter on the Bionic. I would only buy it after CM7 is stable on the phone. And by that time... Kal El Tegra 3 phones will be out nearly (they're due by X-Mas, and the Bionic isn't due out until August).
I would say, if you have a Thunderbolt, it's probably best to wait until Xmas/CES time the end of this year/early next year. There are going to be some crazy phones out in 6-9 months from now.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk

I am good with the Thunderbolt until early next year when we have a new crop of phones. I wanted to the Moto, but was on blackberry and didn't want to wait until the moto dropped when we kept getting pushed back to get 4g and Android goodness.
The battery could be better but I have 3 spare batteries and an external charger for them so it is all good.

Personally the screen is the killer for me. The crappy light leakage, terrible in bright lighting, and don't get me started on the spot lights. Terrible blacks. I bought a $4300 65" plasma to get an amazing picture, why would I not want that kind of picture on my phone if possible.

I dont see how comparing a $4300 dollar TV and a phone makes any sense.

Love my TBolt. Everything has been great with it so far. All the whining you are hearing are from people who haven't tinkered with their phone. Things like low battery life can be solved in a matter of minutes and a google search. I am now going on 10 hours with 65% battery left, which is better than my old X.
Plus I got it on a 2 year plan so 1. I will hopefully be grandfathered into 4G and 2. Will have plenty of time to see how new phones are going to develop before jumping right into them (Kind of like what I did with my TB).
I see nothing but good for the TB for at least another year. Soon the RIL will be released alongside of Gingerbread with 4G speeds. Come on you can't go wrong.

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.

Just to be clear...when I say they do not work I am not talking about tthe control talk.

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 ....?

I understand feeling pissed about hacking these phones and it not working right. I suggest if you have properly installed a custom recovery that you flash a simple rooted Gingerbread rom. Everything will work like a charm, all features. Make sure to go into clockwork mod, wipe data, wipe partition, wipe dalvic cache and flash the rooted gingerbread rom. Reboot and enjoy.
If you don't like gingerbread and you want a great ICs rom, use the EaglesBlood AOSP 4.04 ICS rom. I think it works great. Some things do not work on this rom though. Because the devs do not have the source code from Nvidia they can not make the video camera work. Netflix will not display video. The wifi calling does work. Data drops have been addressed.
So there is my two cents. Hope that is helpful.

or better yet, if you haven't already, update the phone to the stock 2.3.4 update that was just released and see if it solves your phone problems.

If your phone is in warranty then call t-mobile and tell them how your phone is freezing and yadda yadda. They should exchange it for a new one

Appreciate the feed back. I think I'm done with tmo altogether though. My data speed with them is like 1.5 mbs compared to my buddy's Verizon which is at 11.5 mbs were in Riverside ca

Lol
I actually am trying to make my phone use stock 2.3.3 and I find that it froze overnight while charging, froze overnight without even plugged in!!!!!
And the only reason I'm even going for STOCK is because the dam Simple Mobile Sim will not work on CM7. It runs better on CM7 but the unreliable GPS, and other settings I needed to apply just so that it wouldn't freeze anymore.
I moved on the GS2 T989 for now. I'm not thrilled with the phone honestly, but wins points for reliability. Never fails, just works. Only had 1 random reboot in the month I've used it.
I want to give away my G2X to a friend or relative, but I don't want to, because I know they will hate me for it. Its cruel to give someone a phone like this and trash talk and blame Android for it. Its not the ROMS or the OS, its the piece of **** phone.
Thankfully I don't have to deal with it so much on a regular basis.

Ohh I know like I said I'm not blaming devs or android for that matter. I mostly blame myself for going "first dual core phone, err I want dat" and goin and buying it rather than researching first.

LG seems to have some piss poor quality control. I must have gotten lucky with mine, though it had some issues of its own that got fixed by flashing roms/kernels.
To your last point, I will never again buy a phone without scoping out the development and opinion from these forums. Even if it means I have to wait a few months and not have the phone right away.

I've been experiencing the same thing. I get so many crashes, lag, reboots on CM 7.1 stable which is the latest I have been running. Ive tried EB and some others, and they were all plagued with similar issues.
I'm essentially done with Android. You never know what the hell you're going to get as far as how the phone works, and it takes way too much time and effort to get things to work correctly. I just want something that works well out of the box. I had the G1, Nexus S, and this, and I can't stand Android anymore. Google doesn't even care enough about it to update their Nexus line on time.

I love my POS

Stupid ass phone...there's not a single rom that doesn't either freeze, randomly reboot or flat out just not work properly. Not talking **** on dev's. But **** this phone seriously. One of the most expencive pieces of junk ever.

That goes to Mr. "I'm done with android" as well... I can flash back to stock and live with the little things that are a little messed up, just can't stand stock battery life, but with any of the cm7 roms my phone is better then most my friends, and even help convince some of my iOS friends to go android. I'm sure either you guys got lemons or just don't understand android!

Ohh I know like I said I'm not blaming devs or android for that matter. I mostly blame myself for going "first dual core phone, err I want dat" and goin and buying it rather than researching first.

The phone has been out for over a year. There are many options. Running gigglebead for a new experience. Did you purchase the phone new from T-Mobile?
Ranting at a forum will not satisfy your issues. Pm me if you need help..

You should probably get an iPhone, both of us will be happier.
