Upgrade from Cappy... is it worth it?

I'm eligible for a free upgrade. Is it worth it or should I wait?

I upgraded from the captivate and I still own two captivates ( wifes and sons ) and every time I play around the captivates I am so glad I got the Inspire. I still believe the Captivate is an awesome phone but the Inspire definitely blows the captivate away and I could never go back lol
So even though I already made a long story lol yes its an awesome phone and in my opinion you will not regret it
Don't know if you know him, but I just got Adamholden developer of Phoenix, Supernova etc an HTC Inspire and he should be receiving it on Monday and will begin developing Phoenix on the Inspire. Just another good reason to get one lol

to be honest, i don't see it being worth using an upgrade for. If you have the 5$ monthly insurance, i would pay 125 bucks and have them send you an Inspire instead of a Captivate. Or buy a Inspire off craigslist. I guess thats just me. If i'm going to use an update, i want to know i'm making a good decision. In the future, i may even use updates for iphones and just resell them. At least you know you are getting the most money from your update

I sold my Captivate for 260 and bought my Inspire for 69 and haven't looked back. Loving it. Great to see you here too, Kizz. Remember you from Adams threads, which made the Captivated somewhat bearable. I've noticed DesignGears in here too, recently. Maybe Cognition for Inspire?

Actually, I am VERY familiar with Adam's work. I have been onboard with the Phoenix ROMS since 3.5. I've also used all the Supernova's. Hell, I even tried Fusion. I saw where you said that you were getting him an Inspire. That alone realllllly makes me want to go that route. The only thing that has kept me with the Cappy is the work that he does. I just wanna say that you guys do GREAT work and make our wives crazy and our phones amazing. Thank you!!!!

Well nice thing about AT&T upgrades, is if he doesn't like the phone he has thirty days to decide and if takes it back he can have them reverse the upgrade. I've done that before lol.

i cant even stand to go in the captivate forums anymore. dont get me wrong there are some devs in there that deserve credit, but theres too much work that just gets regurgitated and kanged, and people who can barely even make a rom(im not saying adam cant make a rom)are suddenly coming out with these roms with things that took me and other devs MONTHS to fix, without even a mention of names or whatever. thats just a big thing for me, i dont care if someone takes my work, but atleast give credit where its due.

I hope you don't mean Adam. I only say that cause Adam always gives credit to people and is always very thankful for help.
Thats why I love Adam as a friend cause he its one of the coolest devs there. Including your self. There were only a few devs I thought were cool over there including you. You can tel me the truth I don't take sides. I'm to old for that stuff, the big 40 lol. Or just pm me so we don't cloud this guys thread.
Not to make you feel guilty but you were one of the first people he mentioned that he was glad to see over here .

I can't root it till she is for sure going to keep it so maybe that will solve some things.i hate that it only comes with 8gb too.the resolution isn't as sharp as the cappy but those are my only complaints.im still trying to figure it this gold card stuff??

Yeah the 4G stuff was bs but I knew that going in and wasn't one of my reasons to get it as for resolution, play with inspire for a week or two and then play with the cappy. I can't stand playing on the cappy now just because, one its so slow compared to the inspire and I love the inspires resolution. It took me a bit to feel that way. I actually felt the same way you did . Almost took it back the first week cause of what you just posted lol and battery life . But again after a week of charging my inspire actually last just as long or longer than my cappy did.

I'm just disappointed that the salesman wasn't up front about the speeds. Im curious to see how long it takes for att to come correct. Hopefully not as long as it took to get froyo! Lol

Lol agreed , but looks like there working on the speeds now . Supposed to be this month sometime actually. Some have already seen the speed improvements . I don't blame you for being upset about the data speeds. Like I said I knew that going in. I was fine with the same speeds I had with the cappy.
Sent From My HTC Inspire 4G | [ROM] CoreDroid HD v5.0 GingerBread 2.3.3

The Cappy was definitely a great device and there are still things I miss from the device. The Screen, Easy Rooting Process, TW is not as intrusive as Sense. The abundant amount of Memory. 16gb on the Cappy and 8 on the inspire. I sold my Cappy on Craigs List. Bought Inspire from Craig too. Saving that Upgrade may try Verizon. AT&T locking out non market apps is bad too.
But moving on to the Inspire I have loved the Spot on GPS. Sense is a little heavy but I can live with it. HTC makes solid devices and I am sure we will get an update to 2.3 sometime. I still think the camera on the Cappy is better but I still like the Flash the Inspire has. The Inspire will be worth the upgrade but waiting for the new devices that are coming will be a good Idea too.
Speeds on both devices are good and on par with each other.

I recently came from a captivate. Overall, imo, the inspire is a better device. However, there are a couple of points where the captivate wins...screen resolution, speaker, slim design, more internal storage, and easy rooting. It all depends on what's more important to you.

screen resolution is the same on the captivate/inspire.

Put the inspire and cappy side by side, look at the screens and tell me they are the same...if you honestly think that, you need to have your eyes checked. Cappy screen is crisper and more brilliant.

Just ordered my HTC Inspire 4G

Just ordered my Inspire 4G. I'm coming from the Captivate. I can't wait for a functioning GPS.
I was going to wait until the Infuse came out until I saw today that DG / Design Gears ditched the Atrix and picked up the Inspire. Can't wait to see what he can do with it. I ran both Cog and Perception on my Captivate. However I'm currently running Serendipity.
Now to pick a custom Inspire ROM to go with...

You won't need it~
Unless if you're into MIUI, stock works just fine! If you're itching for the extra features, Android Development has a bunch of reoriented stock with better speeds.
Cheers on your new Inspire!

a fellow UK fan...nice to see! Do you go to UK??
and that is awesome news about DG coming to the Inspire. I felt like Captivate section really slowed down when he left. He did some big things for the Atrix, so i definitely can't wait to see what he brings to the table for the Inspire.

I'm the type that can't leave stuff alone. I'm always willing to try something new. I'll probably leave it as stock for a little while just to make sure I'm going to keep it.

Hi, enjoy your Inspire! You made an excellent choice.I just got mine also. I'm loving it. I won't install a custom ROM but I might root this one...not sure, though.

A big UK fan. No, I didn't go to UK. However I'm thinking about going back to school, and that's where I'd go.
I agree. Once DG focused on the Atrix, the Captivate forums slowed down. He's got a ROM already in the works for the Inspire that's being beta tested.

How bout that john wall guy? Oh wait... anyway congrats on the upgrade you'll be surprised @ how smooth it is out of the box... and now we have di11igaf, adamholden, DG... good time to be an inspire user

thats awesome...can't wait to try it out. Its weird because with my captivate, i started out with DG's roms, then moved to Adam's roms, and ended up sticking with dill1's roms towards the end.
But, i assure you, coming from the captivate you will be VERY pleasantly surprised with how amazing this phone is out of the box. I thought it was going to be a little sluggish when i was setting it up, but once i used it for awhile and things fell into place, it has been amazing. the Sense UI is downright amazing, and i can finally see what all the hype is about.

I'm still trying to talk myself in to swapping my cappy out but I can't do it. Its been 5 days since my wife got her inspire and the complaints I have so far are the speakerphone stinks so much static on both ends and the volume is quite low on full blast. No swype.My cheek hangs up the phone alot. For some reason the screen turns on midcall and my cheek touches the call button?? When we aren't hanging up on people its constantly dropping calls. No 4g coverage.Its heavy. the battery life is less than desirable and that damn battery cover has taken 2 years off my life. It only has 8gb out of the box,ill have that filled in 10 minutes.as far as gps it does perform ok not great,but it will never outperform my tom tom. I think ill wait for the infuse 4g to arrive and see if that is enough for me to upgrade. My wife is fairly happy with it so its up to her if she wants to keep it so I guess my feelings on it are meaningless!

sounds like a bad unit. I am experiencing none of those issues.

Yeah I don't have that many problems with my phone either. There are audio fixes in the development section that can fix the speaker issue. Other than that, after I switched to TCPs rom, my battery would last me more than a day oppose to 3/4 of a day.

The low volume issue is related to some kind of adaptive program. If you notice, the sound will be low in the very beginning, then it will increase to a louder state. I haven't discovered the settings for it yet, though. Tried checking/unchecking the pocket mode and quiet ring on pickup but didn't make any difference.
The battery door is super tight on mine also. But I don't mind it, myself. It feels very secure. I've decided to just get a dock to conveniently charge it instead of changing out batteries...lol
The 8GB card is a class 4 instead of a crappy class 2. That is a plus in my book. But I still have a 16GB ordered.

I was going to create my own epic bread, but seeing as how this was already on the front page I figured I'd jump in as well.
JUST ORDERED MY HTC INSPIRE 4G. To put things in perspective, I'm currently using a Samsung Mythic (Nubbins-ville USA) and this is my first true experience with Android.
I've been scouring, researching into Android for at least a year now and have finally made the jump. Much like other people on this forum, I definitely struggled with the decision between the Atrix and Inspire. To be honest, when the Atrix was first promoted I was sold on the spot. After release and all the horror stories, I guess I could say that I was swayed I bit.
Either way, I'll definitely be posting around these boards a lot more. Can't wait!

[Q] G2X Questions from a Vibrant user looking to Upgrade

Okay, a friend wants to buy my Vibrant from me and I am actually happy with it except for lack of any decent options to move from 2.2.x without losing battery life/gps (that's a different forum's discussion)..
So, I don't want to spend a LOT but I don't want a dog of a phone either. I have some specific questions on the G2X...
1) CM7/MIUI: Are they *100%* functional? As in, no "but" or "except" in the list. On the Vibrant, for example, on CM7, you get bad battery life, limping GPS and broken 911 calling. Is CM7 a viable option on the G2X for a daily driver? I am personally tired of seeing threads on various phones I've had in the past that said "100% functional" but when you get to using it, turns out it's not.
2) LG Support -vs- 3rd party. I am *not* asking if LG is going to release ICS. What I am asking is, will the dev community be dependent on LG's release to be able to properly support ICS in the future? Ie, again, on the Vibrant, CM7 is broken because Samsung never released a GB rom for the Vibrant and thus no kernel source. Is this going to be a problem on the G2X if LG doesn't release ICS?
I really don't want to spend the extra $100 it will cost me for a Sensation 4G.... I'm just not sure, basically, what to expect of 3rd party and specifically AOSP/CM7 support for the G2X in the future...
Input?

There will never be a perfect rom, ether gps, wifi, data, bluetooth, something will not work as it should, so if you want a "100% no buts, long lasting perfect phone" get one of the Motorola razr v3 or one of those flip phones from back then.

1. No ROM out for the G2x is perfect consider LG's work was far from perfect and what we have is much improved, but still a work in progress. Do we occasionally have APN issues (I never have, but as a community, yes) or sleep of deaths (Funny you mention, Sensation gets them too), yes but they're few and far between and there is work being done to fix them.
2. Because CM and a few others build straight from source, at this point it shouldn't matter if LG makes an ICS build or not. Maybe for a few things, like AD2P function, but otherwise, I'm not concerned.
I have a lot of friends who own Sensations, and I still think I made the better purchase in the G2x.

Hands up for g2x, friend have sensation, htc desirr, hd2.. 3 of us have rooted g2x with miui as last rom... all good
Sent via MIUI-G2X

So I went ahead and bit the bullet and upgraded. Already rooted and using weapon Rom. Will give this one a go for a while before trying.g out cyanogen. In fact I may just wait for an ICS cyanogen in a few months.

I came from a Vibrant and I'm so thankful I chose this phone. It feels better in the hand, it's faster, CM7 works better, the GPS works and the HDMI output is really nice. I'm iffy on buying a Samsung again after having the Vibrant.

Besides the fact that I scratched the screen 2 days after I got it, and the ICS uncertainty, I do like it a lot. I especially like the price T-Mobile is running it at since I'm on the Value plan and had to pay full price.
It does seem that the modder community for this phone is a bit smaller than the Vibrant.

I have aa Vibrant and G2x. Use both daily with CM7 must say my vibrant last just as long as my G2x (13 hours) that's my average day any way. But I do feel the G2x is a worthy upgrade from the Vibrant, I do want Sense again but right now I love G2x

So what you think personally
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk

that is what I think personally, it all depends on what you look for. I don't know if you're gonna root either device, if so what you wan't installed on them, MyTouch will have MySense on it which is bloat and a pain in the ass in my opinion, if you root it and need a keyboard and install a Cyanogen rom then I say go for the MyTouch... if you want a gaming device then go with the G2X, if you don't need the keyboard and don't care about custom skins like Sense, then go with the G2X... it's about your preference!

Taking the specs aside I think if I could I would get the MT4GSlide only because of that keyword. I mean typing the screen of the G2x is great but something about the slide keyboards brings me back to the good old G1 days.

my g2x has a lovely screen and its fun to game on i personally wouldnt trade it for a mytouch slide.

I personally would trade it. Then sell it, then rebuy the g2x. Other than that I wouldn't.

I believe the MT4G Slide has open drivers since it's a snapdragon, meaning it probably has FULLY functional ICS ROMs (I wouldn't be too sure). It also has an amazing camera with zero shutter-lag. But eh, it's up to you. Try checking out their Subforum to see if there's anything there that you'd like. I'd stick with my G2x running Owain's CM9 KANG

Get a Bluetooth keyboard.

For reliability, yes take the MT4GS. It has no SOD's, no random reboots or shutoffs, and most importantly a fully functioning GPS that doesn't crap out on you when you most need it. And I believe it has more RAM as well with a camera that's 100x better than the G2x.
Other than that, G2x for the screen size and speaker quality.

There have been many experienced users here that suffer from these problems, even some of the devs. As for me, I actually don't have these problems except for the GPS issue.
I've just seen enough experienced people complain about this issue to the point where it is a problem.
And I think it's annoying when there's people that constantly ask people how they're having problems since "theirs runs so godly", thus every one else is doing it wrong. I had a MT4G before this and it was a champ on stock and an even better champ rooted.
But for the G2x it's pretty bad stock and maybe you can fix all problems rooted, or maybe not.

Let's not even talk specs. Holding the two phones together, I can already seeing myself choose G2x over MyTouch any day.

I bought my g2x secondhand. No problem excepwhen removing HDMI cable its a little tight
My GPS locks under 1.5minute without data using copilot

mack...I was not trying to annoy you, but in a thread where someone is asking for advice you list numerous problems, but then you say you do not have any of those problems. It just seemed like mindless bashing. The vast majority of folks have been able to correct any issues through a new battery or a better rom than the stock one. If you want the GPS to function as it should you may want to try New Clip. Not the fanciest rom, but super stable with good battery life and excellent GPS. I can tweak the appearance on my own so many of the bells and whistles of other roms do not interest me. Stability does. Anyway, I am glad your phone does not have all the issue you listed. I was pretty sure you would be able to overcome any problems, just as many of us have.

Why did i ever trade?!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678524
well, the mytouch 4g now has a almost completely fully functioning JB ROM and the g2x has a half-assed alpha test (sorry, EB team, not trying to belittle your work). grrrr. bout to go trade for a 4g slide. what really eats me, is that the G2x is a superior phone hardware wise to most phones even now. and definitively better than the mytouch. I feel the g2x community has fallen apart and due to that, there will never be a completely functional well.....anything. we should be all working together to iron out the wrinkles in JB not fighting over who developed what first or who can or cant use what code....I'm sorry, but who gives a flying f*** about the code when nothing since froyo has actually been 100% stable and functional on our devices?
im sorry, im just a bit meeved that i traded now. the reason why is in the specs of our phone:
http://geekaphone.com/compare/T-Mobile-G2x-vs-T-Mobile-myTouch-4G
and the state of our community as G2x owners:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1784980
I'm sure i'll be flamed, shunned, and burned for this thread but i really dont care. i like my G2x despite its many downfalls. i want to see it prosper and run JB and other future versions of android.

Btw, we have very stable GB roms all over the dev forums. What are you talking about? regarding froyo.

i havent seen a rooted rom (aside stock rom) with everything 100% like BT calling with new baseband for instance. ICS has the same issue plus missing camcorder drivers.

Using the old baseband I have been 100% stable since I first got the g2x... everything works perfectly (aside from slow gps but it still works)
HFP, CM7, and CM7.2 just to name a few have no bugs other than user error which as we all know can't be fixed (because you just can't fix stupid)
I do understand where your coming from however your "facts" are a little skewed.
Good luck with the coding, I hope you will be the next great Dev!
Pin it to Win it.

Even though I don't use my G2X as my main phone anymore, it is my go to device as my tablet device. I know I don't have a tablet, but when I need to read news, stream videos, read emails, do all sorts of things, the G2X is my go to device. Hands down CM7 is solid and stable. I do need to reboot it a couple of times a week but I'm not stressed about it.
I've not updated the BB mainly because of the ROMs needing a special modification, and lose access to all the previous ROMs.
I don't care really. I want to use the ICS ROMs but they have bugs. Again all the hate goes to LG. Devs do best they can with little they do have access to.
I have the Galaxy S2, Amaze, and G2X. Hands down, my go to device is my G2X when I am home and in WiFi range. Its faster and snappier. What a waste LG did. Even display is better than the Amaze. It really pisses me off that HTC went cheap on the Amaze's display.
I use the GS2 now because it's got a stable CM9, and honestly detested the Stock ROM. If G2X had a stable CM9 (Full Support with Drivers and everything) and the GPS issue was reliable, I swear I'd go back to my G2X as my main device.
As for reliability is concerned, GS2 and Amaze hands down. Again, pisses me off LG screwed this phone royally.

yeah. i needs my GPS, thats a game changer for me. im still reading all the stuff that CM suggests before doing anything. baby steps. gonna try and compile a new APK before i take on a ROM.

thats exactly what i was saying. this is the best phone i have ever owned hardware wise. Yes, this is mostly Nvidia & LG's fault, but its still frustrating. my fiancee just got the blaze and its ok. its pretty snappy, but when my G2x is on stock rom, it stomps it... no questions asked. and yeah, the GPS bug is what i was talking abot from pre v21y. also, it is really a pain in the a$$ just to figure out how to downgrade basebands, let alone actually do it. alas, the g2x is my daily driver so i need it to preform well and be stable. that means i need bluetooth calling, working GPS, MMS, all that.

Yeah... Can't argue with you there. The G2x is a POS. I traded my MT4G for this phone too, while I don't really regret it since I got more money once I sold the G2x, the MT4G was far more reliable and every ROM just worked on it.
Either way, it was a lesson learned to never buy another LG phone no matter what the specs are. Samsung and HTC is the way to go from now on. Or better yet, Nexus!

Disagree. Gingerbread 2.3.3 stunk on the G2x, and Nvidia's policy of keeping its drivers "closed-source" sucks!

Strongly agree! For $350, I know what I'd buy in a second if my G2x took a crap on me. Still, considering my 2 year contract came with a "free" G2x on each line nearly a year ago - I am not complaining. By the way, stock based 2.3.4 Gingerbread ROMs define stable for me (Thanks Kwes and Buru). However, I suppose I like a little instability in my life though since I married a woman?!? and use CM7 ROMs!?!:silly:

i've been seriously condsidering getting a loan and buying a nexus, than cancelling with t-mobile lol it'd probably be cheaper in the long run.

It's just a phone. If you want to be on the bleeding edge and have something to play around with just get a nexus 7.
I think a lot of people are just jealous that others get ics/jb and don't realize that it's not that big of a difference. g2x works great when I don't have my tablet.
