[Q] Phone Choices? (Infuse or Thrill) - Samsung Infuse 4G

Well, I've had the LG Thrill now for a week but don't care for the 3D or the phone build, along with Froyo. Although I do love the processing power, I was wondering if I should take it back and get an Infuse because it seems the Infuse currently has much more dev support. I can't get an SGII because I don't have the money and my favorite rom has already been ported to the Infuse. I don't know what to do? Should I keep the Thrill or get the Infuse. And which one do you think would keep me happy for two years when I'm locked down on my contract?
Thank you.

[Q] Atris, Inspire, Or Infuse

As time to upgrade is here, I am pondering which AT&T phone i should get. Should I get the Atrix, Inspire, or the Infuse?
I would forget about Inspire at the very beginning, since it's already a bit yesterday.
Personally, I hate Motorola's UI (Motoblur) for Android, but with a custom ROM (coming in the future?) it would be superb. On the other hand, Infuse has had really nice reviews and seems like a good phone; thin, well designed and powerful.
So you could consider between those two phones, Atrix and Infuse. I would probably go for the Samsung.

Be careful about the Infuse, your wife or girlfriend might mistake it for a gnarly bug and smash it.
I'd go for Atrix, it'll last longer over time.
infuse
infuse is a great phone and big screen
after that Atrix
Personally i wouldnt trade in my Inspire at this point. just decided to root and IMO its awesome.

x1000, I'm on T-Mobile and have the Sensation. I just had to give the Atrix a try despite only having edge. It's amazing how nice this phone is. I switch back and forth every couple days.
Plus 2.3.4 is out now for the Atrix, it's running awesome on mine, but mine is all stock besides SIM unlock.
AT&T really needs to bring in some more dual-core devices. If your looking for performance and battery life definitely the Atrix.
For looks and Cyanogenmod and all the other cool stuff the Infuse or Inspire.
If you like the Sense interface then Inspire, no doubt.

Infuse or Thrill 3D?

Nexus Prime. *nuff said*
If you can't wait just get the infuse, And get the ROM and Mods also the Kernel that I have in my sig...
So, is the Thrill better than Infuse?
Well it's Dual Core and 3D but that's it lol.
You should just wait and get the gs2 if you can't wait and need a phone fast the thrill would be the best phone you can get wen it comes out.. that is if LG don't do what they did to the g2x on Tmo.. just wait Till it comes out read some reviews and make you're choice that way. Because the infuse is a really good phone IMO...

IMHO 3D is mostly bull**** on phones. If it doesn't give you a headache it'll languish for lack of content. Hell 3D in movie theaters isn't all that good, on a phone it's just a gimmick.

If your still have to wait for thrill 3d release, might as well wait for galaxy s2. Infuse is amazing phone with infused rom and infusion kernel, but why not wait and get the best dual core phone of them all. The exynos processor is many times better than the dual core in thrill or in any other phone right now, so if I were you I would wait for galaxy s2 it should be released this month.

Not to start an argument or whatever but im sick of people calling 3D on a phone a "gimmick". Would all features/specs not related to making/recieving calls be considered "gimmick" features? Why do we need dual cores/4"+ touchscreens/large amounts of onboard and optional removable storage space ect. to make and rec calls? So to call the 3D a "gimmick", well i guess thats just the easiest way to pick fun at somthing different.
To the OP go to the store and check them both out, when available, and decide what you want from your equipment. Yes content for 3D phones may still be scarce, as 3D phones are still very new to the market, however it does offer an experiance you wont find on a non-3D phone. Play, test, compare, and play some more and get what YOU like!
Just picked one up at target for $49.99...it's charging now

Enjoy ! ! !
a thrill 4g?
and im pretty sure that the actual nexus prime will not release on a CDMA network when it has always been a GSM network, considering the fact that European countries mostly use GSM.
secondly, "Droid" is a Verizon trademark. There can not be Nexus phone using the name "Droid" since the Nexus line of phones have always been global. so the Droid Prime is another phone. there can not be a O2 Droid Prime, of a Vodafone Droid Prime. Droid is verizons simple as that.

I agree with the second part of this phone. To me when i played with the Evo 3D, the "3D" just made the screen blurry. lol. but yet i am getting temped to buy one. but i will wait out the nexus prime... cuz you know.... Optimus Prime needs his Nexus Prime. lol

Since you work at Costco, do you know how much $ the Infuse is this week?
Not to revive an old old thread but I am in the same boat.
I have LG Thrill 3D 4G right now on AT&T and I am torn on exchanging it with Infuse. I want Atrix and have had 4 Atrix phones, always move to a new phone and then go back to Atrix.
To cut story short, a guy is doing a straight trade for Infuse for my Thrill and I am not sure if I want any Samsung or any AMOLED screen ever after experiencing burn-in on my Captivate.
Do you guys know if they fixed it in Infuse or is it the same and get burn-in after usage?

infuse is single core and Thrill is dual core and has 3D,3D recording,better GPU..so my opinion go for thrill 3d
I picked up a Thrill today...I own and use an Infuse...
I will give you my opinion/comparison Monday
So far...the lag on the thrill is pretty insane, but it was bad on the infuse stock as well. The infuse isn't stock anymore so that isn't a really fair comparison.

i dunno about the thrill but on Optimus 3D P920 the stock rom is as smooth as a custom rom in my old galaxy S! no lag at all.!
I'm on the hunt for a worthy successor to my tilt2, and before I take the plunge I'd really like hear your reviews on these two phones!
Please don't forget to post back after you try them both out.
With my ATT- TIlt2 I've been spoiled by windows mobile OS and the ability to sync with my work email - outlook(exchange server), for emails, calendar (meetings), and all contacts in my outlook / exchange server.
So as a second item I hope to find out if either of them are capable of doing the same some way.
One alternative would be to wait for the HTC Titan which has a windows OS, but I don't know if ATT will carry it.
edit: atleast overall on paper the infuse looks to be a better overall package based on this site/comparison:
http://geekaphone.com/compare/LG-Thrill-4G-vs-Samsung-Infuse-4G
The only item is weather or not the dual core in the thrill really even makes a "usable" difference, or if the faster clock in the infuse is equivalent.
But I certainly prefer to hear from 00mred00 from his hands-on comparison.
edit: oh and my titl2 has been somewhat laggy at times with touch flo, etc, so I'd be very eager to have a phone which is NOT laggy for a change... !!
Thanks for any insight!!!
I was just thinking I should put something together for you guys
Overall I like the thrill better...I will put together a full review soon but right now I am stuck at work
In the meantime....if there is any head to head specifics you guys want input on...let me know

SAme as me. I love the Infuse more than The Thrill. run smoother. Gingerbread coming sooner, screen better, no lagging, much lighter, unlock within second (can't find the way to unlock the Thrill after couple days of searching). I'll return this and get the Samsung SII when it's out.
The Thrills have 3D technology, but for me it's useless for now. It's amaze me for 2 mins after couple videos and that's it.

Mind you guy's the Thrill is still NEW and the Infuse isn't so you can go about rooting the Infuse and OC etc. Once the Thrill get's to that point it will be a totally different Experience. I have owned a G2 and still own a MyTouch 4G and rooting with OC made a TON of Difference in how they act.
Thrill al kardes
picked up an infuse and thrill in the store, the infuse seems a little bit more laggy, but it was a floor model, and had all the bloat ware and no modifications.
I had some difficulty typing with the infuse (fat finger) which might have been partially the lag, but I'd probably get used to it. My thumb typing with the full qwerty on the tilt2 was much easier, but I've been doing it for years. The thrill and another HTC phone seemed more positive in hitting the right letters, either due to key spacing or finger detection on the screen. There may be options to modify the keyboard layout in the software anyway.
They could not confirm a launch date for the SGS2, they said the Iphone5 was about a month away. I'll probably wait until mid October to put a few more devices in hand.

Thinking of switching over from Evo to Infuse

The wife signed up with AT&T and got herself a nice little WP7 phone today. I was thinking about adding a line and buying the Samsung Infuse for $100 from them and rolling with it.
Thing is... I've had my HTC Evo for over a year and I run MIUI. I have for a long time now. I want the faster phone, bigger screen... cheaper bill than my Sprint!
Ideas? Thoughts? Anyone done this switch? Evo to Infuse?
It looks like a bad ass phone.. I do love my Evo though... The Evo is pretty bad ass in itself IMO.

I rarely switch. I usually just add...lol
However, the Evo is a nice phone and is similar to the Inspire, which I have. But the Infuse is a much nicer phone with the SAMOLED+, larger screen, better audio chip and stronger CPU. The only thing it needs right now is Gingerbread. It's still on FroYo. But rumor have the GB update coming out by the end of this month.
The Infuse is much lighter and the battery life is much better than my Inspire. It's also elegantly styled. It has 16GB internal storage. I love mine and am glad to have it.
It's still on Froyo? Wow. I didn't think any device like this was still using Froyo.
That just stopped me dead in my tracks.
im on 2.3.5 myself ... CM7 FTW

It's Samsung, expect this.
Anyways, we've got GB ROM's already, and 3 leaks, so it's bound to be released any day now (also, the GB leak is a build from like a week ago, so it's VERY recent).
Don't worry about the "It doesn't have GB" things, we do have it, just not released by AT&T.

You gotta rememver its still a relitively new phone. Official GB is on its way and should be here soon. Honestly the infuse is what i picked to hold me over til the nexus prime or the new samsung, i forget the name, note? W/e. Seriously this is an awesome phone and you wont be disappointed.

Hell, if they have CM for it then I think I can live with it. I'd miss MIUI though..
I will keep on pondering. Her phone should be here tomorrow and then I can sign up online with AT&T and add a line and all that over the computer. Then maybe I'll add myself a nice line with an Infuse.
I just posted by Evo on Craigslist. Doubt I'll get what I want for it.. http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/mob/2614360614.html

Well it's a relatively new phone, but Gingerbread was already old news when it came out, so what's really sad is that AT&T released it without Gingerbread to begin with. Then again, it's probably better that they didn't take the half-assed approach that Rogers did. :/
That said, depending on what features you depend on and how good AT&T's HSPA+ network is in your area, you can run one of the Rogers-based GB ROMs without any significant problems. And of course, as has already been said, official AT&T GB shouldn't be very far off.
Honestly though, I'd wait if I were you. While the Infuse certainly is better in a few areas, the EVO's a perfectly good phone. And not to knock our devs at all--they do a great job--but CM7 isn't really ready for primetime over here. If you want to run MIUI on an Infuse, expect a fair amount of inconvenience compared to what you probably have come to expect on your EVO. If you want to switch to AT&T, the Galaxy S II will be out in a week and a half, or if you extend your timeline to a few months, you can see what LTE phones get released.
Its tough man...both great phones...i would stick with the evo...it has more roms and stuff no reason to jump to the infuse when in 6 months it will be way out dated...
Galaxy note perhaps? Unless its too big for you -
S7 Infuse 1.6 Ghz
if you are in a city with frys electronics you can get the infuse for $20, or add it online! maybe that makes it easier to switch
A few good phones coming out soon, I'd wait.

I think I'll wait a couple of months. Let's see what else AT&T comes out with soon. Since the wife will have AT&T for a long time I think I'll just hold off and strike at the perfect time.
Thanks everyone for the advice. XDA is truly a great place to be a member of.
We actually do have MIUI, although it's the 8.19 one it's great!
The only big problem is the SD card can't be accessed from MIUI, but we have 16GB internal storage which is great! If you happen to get one, just PM me and I'll send you a link.
Will do.

You sir, are AWESOME!
Thanks for the heads up, this is the best deal I've seen for the Infuse (even better than the $50 TargetMobile deal awhile ago).
Been waiting for the iPhone 5 to show its face but I just might go ahead and get the Infuse at this price.
Wonder if Fry's can waive the upgrade fee?...

Last day with a G2X

Had it since January. Want a better quality screen (resolution-wise) and camera. Other than that, HellFire was awesome to me for the most part. The most recent ICS issues with data drops really bugged me too. GPS locks were never instant, but decent - another slight nuisance. I figure for $100-$150 more a Galaxy Nexus is worth it to me at this point, or something comparable. Actually if the LG Optimus 4G LTE works for me on WIND mobile that could be a good buy for only like $50 more. I just don't know if data will be 2G speeds or not. Yet to find out. If anyone knows that and sees this message, please do respond. It's been fun, this was my first Android. Got to really figure out a lot of stuff, since with this device our support basically is the XDA forums as LG doesn't help us any. Can't believe how bad the stock ROMs are for this device. Incredible they'd even release a device with those ROMs. Anyway, selling it today and then shopping for a new Android. Likely a Galaxy Nexus at this point. Please advise if there are other options! Thanks to xoxhell and all the other developers for this device.
update to stock 2.3.4 will fix all the problem you listed
Due to my experience with this phone and lack of support from LG, I am done buying any LG products in the future. This could have been a great phone had LG just given the community development teams what they needed from the start. Do you think the experience will be any different for other LG products? I don't.

Fully aware of this. HellFire 2.2 even is great and a rock solid ROM with no issues. But, I don't really want to run Gingerbread. For $100 more I'd rather get a phone with a much nicer screen resolution and quality (bigger screen size is a minor plus as well) and a phone I don't have to worry about ICS issues with. The support for this phone is crap, let's all face it. I will miss this phone, mainly cuz it was my first Android and I had fun learning how to use Titanium effectively, how to switch between ROMs, etc (since these are absolute necessities with this phone), but man I will not miss the little nuisances I constantly had with this phone because of LG's terrible support.
And yeah, I briefly looked at the 4G LTE but when it comes down to it... the support will be garbage as well. Great quality screen, but same old terrible LG support. Galaxy Nexus it most likely will be...
My daughter's G2X was stolen at school and I was thinking about giving her my G2X and getting a Galaxy Nexus. I don't know if its really worth it. 130 for another G2X or 400 for a Nexus with ICS that always gets updates.
MIUI = WIFI calling does not work which I rarely use.
CM7 = Phone freezes while unless I use faux and setcpu to down clock while screen is off but the battery life is amazing.
Weapon G2X = no T9 dialer unless I download one and use notigo to clear missed calls.
ICS = no drivers
Galaxy Nexus has working ICS with T9 dialer but no wifi calling.
I have some thinking to do.

Sold my g2x to t-mobile for their deal and got 100 towards a trade up... Switched over to the galaxy s2 and couldnt be happier. My g2x had some scratches on the bezel and a screen scratch so it was a good value deal. Just happy to have something that will get ics and.... Everything actually works consistently. Loved the g2x as a first android but it was underutilized unfortunately.

One of the best things about the G2X is the size... it is a very compact phone.

It could have been smaller if they didn't make such a ridiculously large bezel at the bottom of the G2x. So much wasted space. O_O

That's ALL manufactures in the US when it comes to updates. I had the Vibrant before this and it was quickly forgotten about by Samsung. If I don't like the nexus when I'm ready to upgrade my phone I'll be done with android due to the poor software updates.

Put these phones side by side and don't really notice a difference size wise at all, despite the Galaxy Nexus having the bigger screen. And I saw this new baseband, any ICS support yet? Don't really care either way. Same old stuff with the LG phone, having to constantly hack and update it to it's wannabe Galaxy Nexus status yet it will never happen. The extra $100-$150 for the GN is worth it to me. I totally understand how it's not for some people. Although, I would think if you know enough about phones to even know about the XDA forums then IMO it probably also would be worth the extra money to you to get a GN. That's just my thoughts. Also, the screen resolution and screen quality is considerably better on the GN.
I've been there, that was me, trying to defend the LG Optimus P999. But I gave up defending it, time to switch. I was in denial long enough lol. Well that, and money was an issue for me a few months back...

The difference is that most manufacturers at least release a working rom while being tight arses about community support. LG didn't release a decent rom until well after a year from release, and it's already outdated.
You can't go wrong with the galaxy nexus... I want one now. The only "flaw" is that there's no more mass storage device support in ICS. I use Linux, so I either use my network drive over smb or adb to transfer files. Windows works fine though.

As bitter as I sound about the LG Optimus P999, I would say it is an outstanding value phone. Throw on HellFire 2.2 based on Gingerbread and this thing is super snappy and runs great. It's when you're trying to have the latest and greatest as far as software goes... this thing really pisses you right off.
I did it. I ordered one. I'll still have 3 g2x's in the house.

I got a sgs2 and really like it. No official ics but it's awesome even on GB. Still have a g2x around as a backup and I like that phone too. Updated baseband worked really well.

Yeah, I'm getting my GN today but still have 3 friends or family that have the G2X and IMO that is like the perfect phone for them still because of valueerformance and them not being techie's not caring about the latest and greatest. Sounds like this baseband is far along enough to go with now. I shyed away when I still had my G2X, mainly because it limited what ROMs you could put on. Can you put on HellFire 2.2 with the new baseband or any ICS ROMs yet? I'll still be monitoring the xda G2X forums as my friends and family still own it.
