Does Verizon still accept iPhones from AT&T?

I heard they were doing this in exchange for the Verizon version of the phone.. is this true? The battery on the TBolt is absolutely abysmal, and I need something to last the entire day.. Just want to use this phone in areas of 4G when tethering etc.
Thanks.

Why not get the extended battery?
Sorry I don't know the answer to the iphone thing, just wanted to give you another option.

No man that ship sailed. Besides what are you thinking posting about getting an iPhone on XDA? Hopefully you won't get flamed too bad.

Hmm. You sound like an Apple fanboy.
Before they sell people Android phones they should make them pass an Android Proficiency Test. That way if they suck at learning about their phones and unleashing its true potential, they can go to Apple and let Steve Jobs rape them four different ways.

YOU calling HIM a fanboy is hilarious All he did was complain about the battery and you FREAKED
Original poster: I would check here, XDA has a forum dedicated just to the iPhone:
http://forum.iphone-developers.com/

I am extremely proficient with android thank you. I would pass a test, you however, you probably insult the proctor giving the test and fail.

Getting an iphone wouldn't help the 4G troubles you have as they aren't 4G capable. I'm sure you already knew that. Like the guy above said you should try an extended battery.

In all seriousness, if you'd root and flash a different kernel, you'd probably be fine. My stock battery lasts all day.

that's interesting since I've been rooted since I purchased this phone back in april and although I'm on CM7 with the leankernal running in battsaver mode, my phone doesn't even last all day when i'm on 3g and just texting and using auto-sync for my gmail and facebook.
the battery on this phone is absolute garbage, almost as bad, if not worse than the Eris' battery was.

if you arent getting throug a full day with that setup on 3G then there is more to the problem than the crappy battery.
i can just barely squeeze a day out of my phone on a sense rom and 4G coverage. it is very close, but i can do it if i dont mess with the phone and only use it when i actually need to use it (no fun)
but i just have a 1700ma slim battery, and my stock battery and i am good to go for a full day easily with heavy use.

What's your battery life like? Looks like we both have the same usage but I'm on the stock CM7 kernel and I come home after an 10 hour shift (12 hours off charger) with about 40% battery life left. After I get home I flip on the wifi and surf and play music until the battery dies which is usually an hour or an hour and a half.

extended battery, 40+ hours, 'nuff said

ATT offered to replace my Infuse

Long story short: I am on my third Infuse with constant dropped calls. ATT has now offered to replace my phone.
Any thoughts on what to get. I think my options are:
Atrix 2
LG Nitro
Captivate slide (really miss the physical keyboard)
Skyrocket
S2
The Nitro and Skyrocket seem to have some pretty stellar reviews.
I think the Atrix still has a locked bootloader.
The Slide has the keyboard I have been missing since I got the Infuse.
And the S2 has a smaller screen
Any thoughts on any of these phones?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Definately Skyrocket

Captive slide feels cheaply made its very light even with the battery in

****rocket has all sorts of weird bugs - awful battery life, apparently data rarely works. AT&T's user support forums are full of people with issues.
Glide is oddball hardware - Tegra2 is a pretty poor processor, Heimdall won't talk to it, don't expect much developer love for this device

From what I've read, all Samsung devices using the Qualcomm chip instead of the Exynos have screen tuning issues. Either way, I would take an Infuse first and the SGS2 second.

wow, no one is giving any love to the nitro. the more reviews I read, the more I am liking it. anyone care to elaborate on the reasons for the s2 or rocket instead of the nitro? reviewing the specs, the nitro seems just as tricked out as the others and even better speced on several fronts. not trying to start a war, just trying to figure out how to best take advantage of att's "generosity".

I'm wondering if there's something wrong with the network where you are - does it always drop in the same place?
No one else has had the problems you have had, and for it to happen with three devices says "network" to me.
I never had a problem with dropped anything while driving - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0011GI94Q means it's extremely rare to ever have less than 3-4 bars anywhere when behind the wheel.
(I live in the boonies - I often go through areas where no phone ever has coverage, but with the Wilson I'll still usually have 3-4 bars in those places. It has more than exceeded my expectations.)

[Review] Hyperion 3500 MaH Battery 15$

Can be found here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005PY4JFS/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1328908636&sr=8-1
They have killer customer support all I did was contact them about the broken back clip and they sent me a whole new product battery and all
So a couple days ago I ordered this battery. Monday to be exact came pretty quickly as it arrived on Wednesday. I order through amazon.
Anyways, this battery is a steal for 15$ all together, I unforturnetly received a broken backing but had contacted their gmail and have been notified I will be receiving a replacment backing soon.
Now to the stats :
I used this thing like I did on stock and it wouldn't budge I had to up things a notch just to make it fall....( this is the first charge cycle so expect better later on)
So for context, I was roaming xda, some internet surfing, music for 30 minutes, pandora for almost 2+ hours with an equalizer app. All on wifi *note 3g uses more battery* and I must say this battery speaks for it self.
You'll also have to cut out about 7 hours so 13 hours of heavy usage.

Haha didn't think of to do a thread on it. Anyways here is a quick a update on mine, Screen Brightness was at 50%. And was running usually around 230-250MB mostly of RAM out of 3xx?
Still Running CM7 N28 with Seppuku @ 100/10000 VR | On-Demand W/UV of only -50mV for each freq.
If i had used airplane mode when not using data i could of shed about another 5-8 Hours outta of the battery and last longer.
In the screenie's below i still have had 20% left and just put into the PC to upload pics.

Update broke 6 hours display 22 hours total

**** one day shipping count me in. i paid 18 total for only 1 day shipping.totally worth it plus i bought me a wall charger the one thats 4.93$

Ah, ive been using this thing too. Awesome for the price you pay. Heh, I actually think that holding this thing with your index finger on the top of the chin is LOADS more comfortable than trying to get a steady grip without it. Although, I'm still pondering weather or not I should still get the fly grip whenever I don't have to use this.

Phone getting very warm

Hello I just got my gs4 on Saturday and I have to say that im not as impressed as I thought I would be.
The phone gets quite hot during almost anything. Also is no where near as snappy as my rooted inspire (1.0 ghz single core with less than 1 gb ram). This phone is awesome as far as opening more draining apps like facebook.
I wouldn't think that rooting is needed to be quicker than a 2.5 year old phone...
At this point im considering trading it in for a gs3 or htc one....
And mine is definitely laggy

If it's getting very hot with little usage then I'd exchange it for another.
Also, an update was released today that pretty much solved the lag issues..

Mine got pretty warm last night while playing a simple solitaire game...
It was also eating battery pretty fast.
I rebooted it and it seemed to go away.

mine gets stupid hot for the smallest things I surf the web for about five mins and you cant even put up to your ear to make a call TO HOT.. I returned it and got it exchanged and that device is also getting way to hot. I might just return the GS4 seems like a big issue out there I googled the problem and see that most people are having the issue. IDK 7 more days and I.m stuck with it... any other phone would be a downgrade.

There is probably something wrong with your phone and the next one. Bad luck I guess. It never gets hot on normal use for me. The only time it gets hot for me is when playing high end games.

Unless you dont mind being mocked for talking on a tablet I would avoid any phone larger than the s4. The note two has its place and it to me is only worthwhile if you carry a purse.... it's a great device but not practical in my opinion, I mean how do you carry that thing?

I wish I wasnt as affected but I hate when ppl comment on how large my phone is...and I think its because I agree and wish it was smaller. A 4.5 or so with the the same build as this s4 would be mich nicer. And by that I mean a screen that efficiently uses the face of the phone.
Its really tough to determine what is the he perfect size screen and I think over time we will become more tolerant of the pocket consumption. I mean look at the inspire or other older 4.2...it was huge for its time but now its really not considered that anymore.
With that said for the time being I think 4.5 with the smallest possible chassis would be the best.

Not mine. I am in LTE or 3G all day and my phone does not get hot in the least.

Skyrocket went to cell phone heaven

Well my trusty and beloved Skyrocket finally gave up the ghost due to a busted power button. I didn't want to return it again for another one as the call quality wasn't ever very good lots of people always complaining that they could not understand me. So I went and got me an HTC One. I quickly found out after getting it that it didn't come with an SD Card slot.............ARGHHHHH! And I also cannot use an extra battery which I always carried with me on the Rocket. This phone seems to be much better behaved battery wise after a day of using it but I will reserve judgement until I fully charge it and use it for a day. I am going to use all day tomorrow and see how I like it and if it doesn't measure up (probably won't) I am returning it for a GS4 or maybe wait for the GS4 Active if I have time???

Keep the one. It's an amazing device and the battery will surprise you. I recommend you install arhd and greenify. I get outstanding battery life. Far better than my old rocket.
