Hey guys... I have to finally say goodbye. After a year of hanging around the forum, it is time for me to move on. My wife's Razr was almost trashed and I decided to sign a new contract with T-Mobile to get both of us new phones. I got a T-Mobile Shadow - yes, I'm addicted to Windows Mobile!
So for now my trusty old SDA will live life as a replacement phone. It's living with Nitro's great new ROM. Good luck to him, and to all the other users who are members of this forum.
People come and people go. Already there are a few new people who are proving themselves to be great additions to this group.
Remember, whatever you do, just don't brick your phone. That's the worst way of leaving this forum!
I will come around once in a while to snoop on things. Until then, farewell.
'til next time mate!
i hate when people go
It has been a pleasure having you bipinsen. Don't be a stranger.
Why, again, do you have to leave? You can still hang around and give and gain knowledge.
For the first time in almost ten years I'm driving a car that's not a Neon, and yet I still hang out on my Neon forum.
Stick around, homey - it's still Windows Mobile! And isn't the Shadow made by HTC, too?
Or are you just leaving the Tornado board because you're too good for us now...
Always people come and go. I know i will not go anywhere cause I have one SDA and one new Imate SP5, they both work great. Great job
I wish you a lot of fun with your new device
Hello!
Normally I wouldn't never post such a noob/trash thread anywhere on the internet... but not only am I excited to own this phone, I am scared to death of entering territory I do not know at all.
About three months after the original iPhone came out I wondered if it could be hacked onto tmobile... thats where I got my start and joined the dev team and have been pretty loyal since. (been kickin it with them since 1.0.1/2) and have seen Android come up in the background but dismissed it until just recently.
Yesterday after wrestling with myself for days, I took my iphone, as well as my girlfriends iphone 3g, into tmobile - put us on 1 joint plan and got us both mytouch 4g's.
After playing with it for about an hour in the stores - I AM SO IMPRESSED. Really, apple doesn't have much to offer other than a name, a stupidly thin product which, honestly, has a screen that is just too small for functionality purposes... and of course the small little deal with them constantly closing jailbreaking loop holes and making it a peice of crap to work with.
So here I am now, noob and vulnerable - but eager and excited to learn the ins and outs of android and eventually getting back to the prowace I once was with the iphone, but on android.
I have heard from my friend that the Desire does have an efuse like thing in it, but not to the detrament that those motorola droid users are facing....
my aims are to:
1) enable and have full control of my phone, like a jailbroken iphone.
2) be able to customize it however I want, with whatever I want
3) not be restricted into what apps I can and cant install, or uninstall (bloatwear)
4) truly say I love and know my phone, in and out.
Thank you for listening to this happy rant - I sware I've gone from my mid twenties to a 7 year old on Christmas.
long live android.
I'm finally out of the cave and can see the real world!
We are all hoping that someday, your wish list will be possible on this device. So far, only temp rooting has worked due to write protection of the NAND. Still hoping somehow the developers get permanent root down the road.
I will find it hard to settle for this one as is however, as I have your wish-list right now on a Nexus One.
Cool post. I say welcome.

+1.
I would also say that #2 and #3 are already achieved. You can install whatever you want and you can uninstall (hide, disable) whatever you want.
Welcome to our little playground. Don't be bringing any half-eaten fruits here
So I know alot of people have started to think about their next phone after their cappys. I am going to guess most people are thinking about the same candidates I am. I"m lookin at the HTC Inspire, Moto Atrix, and Samsung Infuse.
The Atrix really seems to be the king of them in most specs, i just wish it had a bigger screen than 4". Plus I am still a lil confused about the whole dock thing with it and something costing 500 bucks and ATT "making" me pay for tethering also. I def dont want any of that. I dont mind paying a lil extra for 4G, thats if I actually get 4G speeds. I like the Infuse the best out of the 3 with the screen size and looks, but is it going to be the same regurgitated Samsung problems that most of us are having with our Cappys? I can handle a lil lag, but the poor GPS performance is a deal breaker.
So I am wondering what others are going to go to and why? Chime on in.
I think I'm going to be jumping ship and leaving AT&T entirely if I can talk my wife into it. I'm mostly waiting on MWC to end so I can see what other new phones will be released and on what carrier.
well, you know how the waiting game is with phones, if you wait, you'll be waiting forever. there is always something coming down the pipe.
I'm stuck with AT&T on two of my lines until mid 2012 anyway, so with the Death Star I have to stay. I'm leaning towards the Atrix, but am waiting for MWC as well. Even if the phone does have a locked boot loader, XDA will take care of that with a quickness... ;-)
despite some of its flaws i still can't believe how eager some people are to defect from the best overall phone out there especially when paired with the right rom.
Why did you have to start a new thread on this? There is one titled latest from att on the first page. Did you not see not one? please look around or search before starting a new thread. There are many threads already open on this topic.
I'm stuck with AT&T unless I want to carry multiple phones. They are the only ones that work in Europe. I looked at the all band Nokia but they are simply too expensive.
I want to stick with an Android phone for the simple reason that the community will improve on the standard issue crap. Will the boot loader on the Atrix be locked so as to prevent flashing custom stuff?

none that had a survey attached to it to see a general consensus. now quit being a cry baby. i mean seriously, some of you ppl in here whine more than a lil school girl. if you dont like the thread, dont vote, shut up and move on.
I am trying to talk the wife into dumping the iPhone 3GS for the HTC Inspire 4G. She really like Google navigation and I think the $99 price may be a deal maker.
I am still in the 90 window on my refurbed Captivate, if I like the Inspire, I may start whining to see if I can get it as a replacement.

Boborone for mod?!?
Thread closed, there are other threads with the same topic.
Hi everyone! I just wanted to throw this question out there to all of you on XDA. On August 1st, I will be eligible to be reimbursed up to $80 a month for my cell phone bill through work. I am currently on a TMobile Family Plan using a Samsung Vibrant. To make things easy, I am going to go onto my own plan. I can pick any carrier, any plan, and any phone. If you guys were in this situation, what phone would you pick? I am not up to date on phones that are going to be released soon, so if some are coming out in the next month, I'd wait and consider those as well. Just wanted some input from people I'd trust! (aka XDA users!)
SGS II for me is the best phone out there at the moment and the forseeable future.
If you are into modding the SGS II devs are the best, Pulsar, Hacre, Noonski to mention a couple.
Of course only my humble opinion.

actually she(hope i am right , referred the picture) did make clear that she is not into phones, so there is no way that she is into modding (my opinion). and very few working people spend time modding/flashing roms.
and yea i would suggest u go for sgs2, iphone ( if u r somehow still into modding these are still the best choices )
Thanks to both of you for responding! Yes, I am a she (that is me in my picture) and actually, I am into modding my phones... I just wish I knew more about it, and really understood what went into creating ROMs. I am always amazed at how smart everyone here is! I usually am up to date about all the new phones coming out and such, but haven't been around here much the past few months to know what's great and up-and-coming! So thanks for helping me out!!
Let me start by saying I love this phone and am very happy With it But like some of us flashoholics are we're always looking...
From what I see.. A lot of people are on the T-mobile thread and not so many here. I see a few nice roms there.. And nothing other than stock deodexed for us. I'm keeping the faith the development will come for us but I just don't know. Any thoughts?
Yes doomed, cause you know 2 months from release and being on the only CDMA carrier with the phone, plus a small carrier no one likes. Who would guess there is not much development.
Come on guys. Put up or shut up, do something for the community (mod yourself, build a ROM, offer incentives, etc). It's like a lot of you want people top do things for you but the only thing you are willing to contribute is complaints about how fast others are working.
I'll contribute cash donation if someone comes out with something!
the only thing that i would like to see is SELinux permissive. after that xposed all the way!
Dennis. I was just noticing the development in the T-mobile thread is moving at a faster pace then Sprint. Development is very time consuming and my heart would be in the right place but I just wouldn't have the time or the complete knowhow to build a rom. I am a recognized tester for many years with sac on the s4 and am very close With one of the best themers on XDA "cerj" which I test regularly for him. I am willing to contribute $ to our cause as my self and a few others bought a s4 for sac just so he can develop for us. So my brother.. Cool your jets. I was just sparking a flame to gather the troops...
Recently T-Mobile always has more development then sprint. It's easier to develop for a GSM phone them a cdma, plus more people use GSM. Development is either going to stay or not. As it is right now, a lot of the edge/N4 mods are usable. I would try to do something but with 2 small kids and both me and my wife having full time jobs it's difficult to fib the time to do more then mess around, and since I'm fine with the stock ROM with xposed I'm working on something i know is a long shot but, I want to see if i can find a way to completely unlock the sim card slot.
ive been flashing roms since my ppc6700..... and every new phone for every year in between lol........ i would build a rom but have NO clue how or what to do.... i work alot and have 2 beautiful kids that take most of my time..... i hope we get a rom for this device cause its totally worth it.... ill put in cash on one for sure
I guess we will see what the future brings
Future is already here. And so much has occurred for the Sprint variety - My head is spinning around the madness! Just make the switch already, people! T-Mob will even pay your ETF's!!! Like the Geico commercial: "Everybody knows that..." Sad to say, but Sprint's day(s) of develpment support are numberd, as is their poor cellular service AND 4th-ranked customer service. In case you're not aware, 4th is the bottom of the pack, technically. If they offered their service to me for free, even unlimited everything / unthrottled data, I'd still not take it. As a company, they're outdated. As for customer service, they're dooty water, as for they're hardware (devices) they have lack of attraction to developers nowadays. The EVO was and still is their love child, and that was essentially 10 years ago. Needn't more be said...

Sprint payed my AT&T installment payments off, something T-Mobile does not do, plus I got to keep my old phone to sell it. Add to that I get LTE more reliably then on AT&T or T-Mobile, my calls sound much better then any of the other 3 carriers, it's cheaper then any of the other 3 (2 lines, 40GB shared, $130), and the customer service had been average I'd say I'm on the winning side here (for me). T-Mobile and I had some issues, as in they would not fix their mistake in my social so I could not make changes to my account online (my social changed after my first bill, but they were not allowed to change it even when I showed proof of my social. So I won't be going back to them, couldn't even cancel my account properly so i ended up with a $1300 bill.
In short no I won't be going to T-Mobile any time soon.
