2.3 for Incredible? - Thunderbolt General

Why is Incredible 2 getting official 2.3 update before TB? Rooting tonight so don't really care, but just sayin
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

The Thunderbolt has more issues to deal with since it is 4g, has two radios, etc. We are all patiently waiting, in the meantime, try DasBAMF 3.0.

So the Droid Charge is made by HTC?
It's stupid troll comments like this that make people hate this place more and more everyday.

Agreed that the thunderbolt should get some priority considering it is a flagship device, but I just rooted and installed Gingerth3ory v5.0 yesterday. Running great so far with no issues I have found.

I'm currently switching from sprint to Verizon I was just wondering if there was any way I can use my ns4g on Verizon's network? Its rooted and unlocked

Nope, sure isn't. Why did you buy a NS4G if you were going to Verizon?

To answer you unsarcastically, no you cannot. Verizon will not activate a phone that is not theirs. If you're looking for a stock Android experience on Verizon, check out the Xperia Play, and if you're looking for a 4-inch smartphone, check out the HTC Incredible 2.
Incredible 2 is locked down. I don't think anyone has even rooted it yet. Thunderbolt has a decent CM7 alpha, but isn't a good phone. OG incredible is a great phone but very small. Bionic should be dropping shortly, it will also most likely be locked. Oh, there's always the Samsung Charge

Don't forget the Revolution and if HTC sticks to their word the DInc2 may see an unlocked bootloader. If that happens that phone will be a beast. I got one in trade really cheap so I'm hoping lol.

Have you seen what theyve done with blur in the GB builds on the X? very cool now, even for blur I think if the X hadnt been locked and we colud get aosp on it, it would have gone down as a legend. It would still be relevant in another year or 2.

Yeah I played with it and actually ported a version of the GingerBlur UI theme to the Fascinate. Its an improvement no doubt. Hardware wise like I mentioned earlier moto is solid. Its actually still got some good specs (the DX2 refresh would have been a monster with an LTE radio). I agree aosp would have been a beast on it. CVPCS is still working on CM for it...the

From the Sensation preview vid I saw, dual core, Official Sense 3.0 and GB
Holiday.
Though that nexus could be interesting. I don't know how much I like the idea of the separate menu buttons being made software-based, though. 5mp camera, though they say its "advanced 5mp" is still 5mp. Resolution of images will still be that of a 5mp camera, no matter how "advanced" it is otherwise.
Samsung = FAIL. Never again.
I was going for the Sensation over the GSII because I hate the physical home button. But with all the U.S. carriers likely having their own slightly tweaked version, it very well could be without it . In this case, I'm going with the GSII (I like the extra ram it has vs. the Sensation). If AT&T's version looks like the current version that everyone has, I'm going with the Sensation (an unlocked one from Canada or something - for use with AT&T's bands).

Oh, me too. If the op question had been "which of these phones are you going to dump your inspire for and pay off contract," I'd have answered just as you did.
By the time my full upgrade comes around, there'll be some new bomb-ass HTC phone on ATT. But this time, I have a phone that will keep me going until that upgrade comes...
Unlike the circumstances that brought me to this inspire...
Blew my upgrade on a captivate 2 months before the inspire came out.
I got an upgrade available in December, the day after Christmas. I'm watching for the HTC Holiday.
EDIT: Paid off-contract price for this on Feb 27th. This phone will definitely hold me over til my upgrade, and then hello Holiday!

Wow really it is too bad that it bothers you so much this is the General section I do believe and since it is "General Discussion about the AT&T HTC Inspire 4G (general chat, tips & tricks, etc)
Guess this is the right place for it.
Yes the threads will be getting cleaned up. This weekend most likely if I can find the time. As for opinion threads if there is more then one thread on the same subject they will be combined. We have a off topic thread for things like this.
Happy to have you back up there zelendel despite pushing your buttons before.

Developers need an ICS leak to make anything new, how many GB ROMs do you want? As far as the CM9 RIL has proved to be a huge problem. So no, developers still have Thunderbolts they just need something new to work with, instead of pointing fingers at them, point them at HTC.

While it's not the fault of the dev's, we have been forgotten. The thunderbolt is unfortunately old news and most likely won't have much more activity until we get ICS/JB.
Its more like HTC doesn't give a crap about our phones anymore. It's unacceptable that they haven't put out an update sooner.
I'm still here!
Most phones were forgotten (or stagnated) on Verizon when the Nexus came out. Anyone who didn't see that coming was just a tad short-sided.

Dont blame only HTC. Verizon is also to blame... and VZW is historically known for not providing too many updates.
I dont expect any additional development until ICS is "officially" released for the TBolt.

Bionic already has 4 ICS leaks...and blame HTC. Anyway, the Incredible S (GSM Dinc 2) got ICS today. Here's the thing - the Thunderbolt was replaced by the Rezound a long time ago, and it's honestly not that great of a phone anyway. It was the first LTE phone, but the specs were far behind other phones that came out before it. It will be nice when it finally does get ICS (and it will, but remember the 2.3.4 update took a very long time as well), but most people (like me) who bought this phone will have already moved on, or be well on their way to a better phone by the time it finally is released. As far as being forgotten by developers - not forgotten, but they have moved on to better phones. The Thunderbolt is old hat - 1Ghz Snapdragon w/ 768MB RAM, the developers have moved on to better things, for the most part.

Pretty sure specs weren't far behind anything when the tbolt came out. If you're this concerned sell it and buy a bionic. Go to craigslist, they are cheap.
