So far I love the phone. The feel and weight of the phone just seems better then my Captivate(which I gave to my wife). After not getting data on the phone unless I had WiFi on kind of sucked, but if you make a new network. You will be able to gain data back.
The only thing I am not liking is when I set up my HTC sense with Facebook, it put all my friends from facebook into my contacts list in my phone. I do not want all my friends on the list. I have tried and figure out how to delete from the list but cant figure it out. Anyone know how?
I also side loaded a few apps using the SLW program, once you download HTC sync on your computer it was easy.
I cant wait until this phone gets rooted so I can go in and change some stuff around, like ringtones. You can have custom ringtones when the phone is not plugged in to the USB but once you plug the USB in, it reverts back to the stock ringtones because it thinks shuts off your SD Card. Well you know what, I guess I can have the option to only have it charge will plugged in. That might work.
Other then that me loves the phone. Glade my wife had an upgrade so I could get the phone for $79.99 from Costco and a free charger with it. She loves my old Captivate so I was like hell ya ill trade ya!
Ha I love it...got a feeling alot of wives will be getting a captivate tommorow

I have the Evo for sprint which should be similar. Open your People/contacts app, hit menu, and you should see an option that says 'View'. Select view to choose which contacts you want displayed and deselect your Facebook account.

Ok so in the people and contacts it has my correct contacts. What am talking about is when you look at the phone on the homescreen you see the button that says phone. If you click on that it will show every one of my Facebook friends, even the ones they I dont have in my contact list. I dont want them there.
I haven't mentioned to my wife yet... she's gonna wonder why the hell I'm getting up early on a Sunday morning, probably think I'm having an affair, lol.

You are, with the Inspire 4G. hahaha
I dont regret it for a second, yeah no Real 4G but we have root, roms and radios NOW.
Also, for those that just want to install apps and leave the phone stock you can go to this thread created by me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943174
The phone feels so polished and the screen is awesome, no Craptivate screen but it will turn heads.
We have accomplished so much in so little time.
Thanks to all the devs and porters out there, this is already a more than worthwhile device and for the price you can not beat it.
Atrix is just a bad memory of Motoblur hell, good luck trying to even root that damn thing.. hahaha

Ok I know what you're saying, and I didn't even realized my phone did that until you just mentioned it. I didn't see a way to get rid of them either.
If this is bothering you because you have to scroll through so many more names to get to the contact you want to dial, have you tried the t9 smart dialer feature? Lets say you want to dial 'John', instead of scrolling all the way down to his name, just spell out his name via t9 (5 for 'j', 6 for 'o', 4 for 'h', etc). The contacts that match what you're typing will appear and you don't have to scroll through all the names. My Evo and other HTC sense phones do this ( stock android doesn't, but you can download other dialers in the market that do). If you already knew this and just don't want the names to appear, can't help you there.

I really, really like this phone. My ear speaker is great, although the external speaker is a little weak. Not a huge deal though, just had to select the high pitched notifications to be sure to hear them.

I thought it was interesting that Facebook .com thought my phone was a nexus one

i went to check this out in the store today. a few thoughts
-size is great. i compared it to my nexus one w/seidocase and it is only slightly larger... like less than a .25" larger in width and length
-weight is great. very comparable to n1 w/case
-sense 2.0 looked pretty slick.
-very fast... zero lag.
-my only stickler was the screen. i could see the "grid" dots on the display unit. is this typical of slcd?
Love it already and havent had it 5 hours yet, beats my old htc surround hands down.
This kicks the captivates ass all around, even unrooted with stock rom. Soooo glad I pulled the trigger... nice to have a decent exchange email client as part of the basic package (sorry touchdown, but the integration is a big plus... I hated the separate address books).
The more I use my phone the more I realize everything works and works well.
Have installed pretty much everything there is and it plays or runs them without a hiccup.
Obviously the only apps it will not run are the ones that require root. My plan is to do this very soon so I can take advantage of those as well.
Every single game I've installed is smooth with no lag.
Emulators work with zero issues, my plan is to try the the psx one next.
You can not measure the battery life right away, it has to get used to a few charges first. See the Desire HD forums and they will say the same.
I've made some calls and can say that it sounds great, I've tried both the loudspeaker and the ear speaker and both sound fine to me.
Obviously the small speaker will not be that loud especially at first. Still planning to use DSP Manager to see if it fixes it.
I've still to try out the gps while moving in the vehicle as well.
Build quality is very satisfying and is what's expected from HTC.
Where I had trouble getting 3G I am now getting a constant H+ according to the phone.
What else can I say I made an excellent choice and with the Sideload Wonder Machine, root, radio and custom ROMs there's room to make this phone even better with those options.

This may be an odd question but I was wondering if the charm that comes with the new Rhyme could be used on the G2x to let me know that incoming calls or texts are coming in? I really like that feature & wanted to purchase one. I've seen a few on some sites but I don't want to buy it & it won't work with my phone since its not an HTC product. TIA!
I was thinking this too! Although I'd never actually get the charm... It was just a thought. haha

I don't think it will. I believe there's settings for the charm under the menu in the Rhyme. So I would assume with out those, the charm wouldn't work.
But I'm not 100% sure.
Lol @ FatalityBoyZahy! There is nothing wrong with a man using one as long as its not that purple one. I've seen one that was white online when I did a google search.
@ mackster248 Thats a bummer that it may be tied into the system...I really like that idea since my phone lives in my purse while I'm out.
Thanks for the responses guys Back to waiting for ICS to drop!
I had another question but I don't want to clutter the forums with yet another thread lol. Can you guys point me in the direction where I can find a fishbone case for the G2x? I've google searched and found nothing. TIA!
I'd love to know if it's possible to get the charm to work on a stock HTC One S.
thanks!

Just wondering if everyone else running a sense 3 official ROM has this.
When you load up the app drawer from the homescreen has anyone else noticed that there appears to be a thin line/border down each side of the list, which im sure wasnt there in sense 2.1. Is this normal or have i flashed my RAM incorrectly. So just wondering if any of you other guys also have this little border down both sides. If everyone has this, is it means to to be there? Does the sensation also have it (being as it is running sense 3.0)
Also. What happened to the car mode (Car panel) that used to give you the big buttons.
Instead it now has "dock mode" which when you load it looks nothing like the car panel used to. Have they got rid of it?
Hi. I have updated to sense 3.0 from 2.1 OTA. I can confirm that the bars on the sides of the app drawer are meant to be there. It's the new design and I have also seen it present on other peoples desire s' with sense 3.0. As for the car panel, I'm not sure as I've never used that feature because I don't drive.
Hope I helped

The car panel is now included in socations´s premium navigation, not a stand alone app anymore. This is a very very great ****, because you have to pay for premium navi . The problem now is, when you plug in into the original htc car holder, there appears a message you should buy pn and you have no chance to autostart an other car dock app. so i should pay once again for something i just paid, just for using it.
I wrote to htc´s support and said, i dont´s accept this! HTC should send me a fix for this problem or they should give me back the money for the original car holder, or thes should give me a free abonnement for premium navigation. They wrote back, they send this to the HTC developers. it´s not ok so
Hey... After this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1309721 and this - http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...am-sandwich-galaxy-nexus-system-app-dump.html occurred, I began meddling around with the APKs and found one that looked REALLY interesting.
Galaxy4.apk
It appears to be the Galaxy Nexus "Galaxy" Live Wallpaper!
I was wondering if anyone is working on or already has got this .apk functioning on Gingerbread?
A new Galaxy Live Wallpaper would be "astronomical"... lol.. (excuse the lame humor)
After peeking at the images in the APK it looks amazing. I was wondering if anyone could get this working on 2.3+? Or perhaps could point me in the direction to learn how to get it working on Gingerbread?
I'm aware of this ∙∙∙
"Currently the apps are Odexed, so they can't be conventionally installed or resigned. And the current iteration of Baksmali doesn't work with the deodexing process. I'm sure somebody will be able to do so or Baksmali will get an update to work with it. But it'll take some time, a lot of great things coming for Android nonetheless."

∙∙∙ but unaware of the status.
Any ideas?
kuci06 said:
A couple people already tried to port it to 2.3.x, but the thing is... it uses a new rendering method that was introduced in Honeycomb.
So you'd have to completely rewrite the whole thing to get it on 2.3
Or... try to get a jpg out of it. (maybe get a couple screenshots from a device?)
Won't move but will give you the ICS look.

Really? Could you point me in the direction of that information?
Well there is a PNG image file inside the APK that could essentially be used as a stationary wallpaper. And as a matter of fact I already did that. And it was very nice looking...
But I'm more interested in the Live Wallpaper! lol...

Hey guys, thanks for the replies...
That's actually not the wallpaper I'm referring to.
This one looks like the "Galaxy" live wallpapers from the Galaxy S devices... You know, the rotating Galaxy?
I seen it on the Galaxy Nexus recently and fell in love with it even more...
The APK was bundled in with the original Galaxy Nexus system app dump. I'm still very very interested in this!
Any ideas? I wish I still had the apk. I had downloaded it but I lost it somehow... I may have accidentally deleted it.
But like I said in my OP, I had opened up the APK and peeked inside to see what the app was. I noticed images of a galaxy and a couple other galactic related images. After seeing it in action I'm absolutely blown away. ME LIKEY! ME WANT!

call me weird but i was expecting more. the update release said new widgets and icons and colors and all im seeing is a new color on the notification bar. i have yet to find new widgets or icons or different looking icons or widgets. the phone looks exactly the same except for the notification bar and that little yellow thing that pops up when you reach the bottom of a screen. yes im happy about the speed improvement. the phone is a lot faster then before but other then that its the same old charge
the color scheme is wack. FUGLY!

This was a software update, not a device refresh. They fixed bugs, revved the Android version, and improved the radios. I'm not sure why you (or anyone else) was expecting major changes to the look/functionality of the device.
I'm not sure why they didn't at least take the Stratosphere's interface design/colors (which is more uniform), as that is essentially the same phone with a smaller screen and physical keyboard.

The Verizon PDF said so, that's why.
I see this as a major rip off. It's the biggest case of false advertisement since the Marvel Comic "The New Fantastic Four" which stated on the cover that the Punisher makes a cameo appearance and the only place you can find him is in an ad for subscriptions.
I don't really care seeing as I'm running the ICS theme....but F-U Verisung.

One legitimate complaint that I have is they borked the built in screen capture function. You can no longer capture some screens (notification shade for example) because the phone lags while trying to produce a stupid animation before capturing the screen.
Yes, it would be possible to use an app from the market but I should not need to. They essentially removed a useful feature.
Also I find that the orange page limit glow gets in the way or certain things. It sometimes covers up what I am trying to look at. If I want to drag a photo to be able to see the edge in the gallery app for example when zoomed in. The stupid orange glow covers up the picture; having the glow cover up a web page is one thing but covering up the edge I am trying to look at is wrong. Essentially they removed the functionality of being able to drag a web page, image, etc., to the center of the screen and view it.

Camera Issue
I was pleased with the update, and color scheme doesn't matter to me near as much as a more stable radio, and more responsive interface. Here is the reason I wish I would not have updated. CAMERA! I have a 2 year old and a 2 month old. Before, you could press and hold the shutter button to focus, and when you released it instantly snapped the shot. Now, that's a no go! A second + lag...... Hard to get the "good" shot that is hard to get. Bummer!
i love the speed improvements thats for sure. the phone is 100 times faster then it was but i think if verizon is going to publish documents claiming new icons and new widgets they should probably deliver on that.
I get FFC so I'm happy.

Got my Charge in May. I run stock because I don't care what the interface looks like. I need it to work, no time for bricks, make phone calls, txt, Google Docs etc. I was about done with Froyo because it was getting so slow, it seemed almost like it was being emulated on my phone. Was about to make a stink with Verizon.
Got the update. It fixed every single bug/complaint I ever had with the phone, and/or it enhanced every feature by fine tuning it.
Here is a short list of complaints fixed immediately:
GUI now hauls butt with little or no lag
bluetooth works perfectly and connects to my headset and stays connected
programs close on their own - don't have to constantly free memory
GPS works and is accurate
Yahoo Mail in email actually WORKS
The call quality is the clearest of any phone I've ever had (I do have great coverage here). 4G LTE hauls butt. With GB This phone makes my old iPhone looks like a piece of garbage.
Just my opinion.
i found the fancy new icons they were boasting about. the update available and download complete icons are new. ooohhhh aahhhhh.

My phone doesn't show an available update yet, not sure why, perhaps it's because I'm running Humble 5.0 and not stock . . . Anyway, when I do get the new OTA, how do I get the new icons/widgets? Is it a separate download or something? Thanks!
