I recently switched from sprint to Tmobile. I had the evo 4g and was able to change the sprint carrier banner on it. Is there a way to do this on the G2X? Which btw blows the evo away speed wise. I am running Weapon 2.8.

I am looking for a phone I can hack to come from Sprint to Verizon. I looked at the htc touch so far. It just has to have wifi as they won't be using the data plan. (For my girlfriend, I have a g1 running drizzys new hero rom).
So thinking about switching from my EVO to the inspire. Any thoughts on the inspire and ATT.
The EVO you wish you had
On the inspire IT IS DEF A STEP UP! while i will probably see alot more from this device coming from my captivate(which i am selling asap) than you will from your EVO, you will see improvements in ram, screen type, and next gen processor, not to mention the unibody design which is BA. On ATT on the other hand you may lose something over sprint. Sprints 4g is faster and you don't have to deal with ATT. I hate having to deal with ATT on android, every other carrier has their issues and I am sure no matter who you talk to they prob hate their provider but I think that ATT is by far the worst. Hope that helps, if I were you i would stay with sprint and wait.

I have to disagree with AT&T being the worst i have had AT&T before it was cingular when it was AT&T mobility and have left a few times to see the" greener grass" but always come back. There network rocks for me and their phones are always the best. They also allow me alot of freedom with my plans, are there somethings i would change sure, but everyone would change something about their carrier.
i have had sprint and verizion and GTE back in the day oh ya and even celluar one (if you can rember back that far) and i have to say i have had VERY little problem with ATT other than getting decent hardware. when i do get their hardware i have very little problems with it. att for me.. besides with work i have a verizion phone.. not to happy with the service coverage.. lol cant even get a signal for them in my house!!
Well, if you want to get the Inspire, come down to the Oakhurst store and buy it from me =)
I left Sprint to work at AT&T, and I'll be leaving the EVO as well. Not sure if I'll be going with the Inspire or going with a canadian phone for the cheap data. The Telus Desire looks good to my wallet right about now...

be careful with the desire, Nexus or Telus Desire HD if AT&T has a version of that phone out of coming out they will make you pay regular data prices. I had the nexus S on edge they originally put the edge data package on my line and then a week later a system sweep added the 25 data on that line. If they have the imei in their system of phones and they recognize them as smartphones you wont be able to get around it
I'm not a fan of the EVO at all and I really, really don't like Sprint so I'd say it's a step up either way you look at it.
Well I made the jump. I have to say I love this phone more than the evo.

You won't be disappointed. The EVO 720p is ....ehh .. The Inspire is such a well built phone. In no way does this phone feel cheap. It's responsive at all times and aside from the AT&T Bloatware, I have no complaints.
-GPS is fine.
-Battery life is okay.
-picture/video is EXCELLENT
-HTC Sense is badass... Coming from vanilla
-Sound quality on videos is GREAT
-Earpiece quality is GREAT
-Voice clarity is GREAT.
No issues at all.
As far as AT&T's service. I experience fast speeds....I don't complain much and the 'dropped call issue' is no issue. I've never had a problem with AT&T's service... maybe they're just holding it wrong?
I currently use a MyTouch3g with Cyanogenmod 6.2, and I'm wanting to get a new phone. 6.2 on the MT is really sluggish and often runs out of memory (I have a bunch of apps that crash to desktop upon launch, unless I run them right after rebooting). I'm going to be switching from AT&T to Sprint, so myself and my fiance have our cellphones under the same plan. Now, from the looks of things, a lot of the phones that Sprint recently had, like the Evo 4g, and Evo 3d, have been dropped (at least from the website, but scuttlebutt I've read is that they may still be found in stores). I'm wanting to keep with HTC if possible, and something supported by Cyanogenmod. Those aren't hard and fast, but just things I would like. Is there any recommendations?
Of the ones on the Sprint Website, the Samsung Conquer seems like it would fit the bill for usage (stock android interface, rootable, affordable), but it seems like there is no custom roms for it currently.

I (W)ouldn't switch to Sprint, (T)hey whore out their network. IMO TMobile is better than Sprint, but i(F) you do not have good signal for TMO (although they have wifi calling for areas with bad signal) you might as well use Boost or Virgin who are on Sprint's network. But I guess you were already on TMO at some point if you have a MyTouch
My fiance has sprint, and is currently mid contract with them. She also doesn't have any issues with them. My contract with AT&T has expired, I'm having problems with my phone, and with my service (Texts to and from me never arriving, or getting messages and voicemail long after they were sent). My fiance hasn't had any issues with Sprint's service, just with her phone (Optimus S) and only after the gingerbread upgrade. My friends with Sprint are in the same boat with her, good service. A friend of mine has Tmobile currently and he frequently has issues where his phone will drop him from 4G down to 2G (totally bypassing 3G), even while sitting docked at his desk. He's on his second TMobile phone, and still having the same issues. My experience with Tmobile is that their reception blows in the area I live (such as reception dropping to zero and remaining totally disconnected for the last five miles on my way home). Also, because my phone would be added to my fiance's existing plan, I'd only be spending $30 a month for her shared minutes, & unlimited data, and texts. If I went with Boost or Virgin, I'd be spending more.
So, AT&T problems. Tmobile Problems. Verizon, Boost, and Virgin would all cost more. You even make mention that I likely had Tmobile and moved away from them because I am not currently on tmobile, despite having a Tmobile phone. Why don't we get things back on topic, to where I can simply get some recommendations for Sprint, rather than getting me onto another network or company? Also, why do you randomly encapsulate and capitalize letters?
If you want to stick with HTC get an evo 4g lte, pretty much your only option right now, and as it's sprints version of the one x its a damn good one. I can't say for sure that its supported by cyanogenmod as I haven't looked in that forum, but would be shocked if it wasn't already/on the way soon given the popularity of the device. Personally I'm waiting for sprint to get the galaxy s3, but that's just a matter of personal preference as it and the one x are pretty similar spec-wise...

evo 4g lte that just came out on the june 2.. this phone is super sweet!!!!!!!! i loved every evo i have had.. i had the og evo 4g.. then the evo 3d and now the evo 4g lte.. evo 4g lte is killin em!!!!
How much do you think it would be for retail price?
Best Phone Ever!
The Samsung Galaxy S III from Sprint! Solid phone. Will be out soon (idk the real date) I am getting one August 1st!
Yea I saw that I might get the new evo or the S3
definitely the photon 4g
i have a photon 4g through sprint and i love this phone. the tegra 2 processor makes it real nice for gaming(youtube tegra 2 games and ull see why). its a fast phone does everything i want it too and more. i like it much better than the evo or the s3. those phones u wouldnt even be able to use 4g anyway. since sprint is getting 4g lte service, its passing its wimax network on down to virgin mobile and boost mobile. so why get an lte phone when all u can use is 3g with them? the photon 4g is a wimax phone. it will have to be rooted and have the gsm domestically unlocked(guides for all that can be found in the photon 4g development section). i personally recommend this phone, check into it i promise u, u wont be disappointed.
Well im thinking of leaving sprint and going to straight talk since i can use most any gsm phone there. Now my ? is from what i was reading people was saying things about 4g working with an old att phone not tmobile. Im confused as to which carrier i whould be looking for an old phone from? Iv looked at both carriers coverage maps and they both claim i will have 4g. But my problem is we have ADT security and we have a phone box that makes the call in an emergency, well if i look at the signial it is 1 bar or blinking most of the time and the box uses att towers. So with that which carrier should i lean towards for a phone to have 4g? My zip is 50032 if you want to look cause when i look the color looks like 4g on the map but they use shade off for each signal which makes it a pain to determine the exact color you are in sometimes.
Since ST gives you the option to use AT&T or T-Mobile, your service is either one or the other. Don't trust carrier maps, those are near useless.
Go to some friends nearby who have AT&T or T-Mobile smartphones compatible with 4G and ask them what it is like. Note that since ST does not get LTE, you will be stuck with HSPA+ 21 on AT&T, or HSPA+ 42 on T-Mobile.
