Sony smartwatch - General Topics

I am definately looking forward to this. I don't know if its just me but I think this is 100x better looking than any of the other ones on the market right now. With a pricetag of just $119, this will be great. I'm hoping this comes stateside on relaase, and will work with my gs II tmobile variant.
Edit: mods, please move thread. Thought this was accessories.

[REQUEST] Motorola Triumph Forum

The Moto Triumph will be released here in the US on July 19th and a forum would be awesome. I started this topic over in the Android Hacking section without realizing that this was where it needed to be. About 5 of us over in the other section signed the petition. Hopefully we have more luck here. I predict a lot of themes and roms for this device will surface. It is thought to be a rebadged Huawei Ideos X6, so it might be easier to develop for than other Moto phones.

I second that motion!
We need to get more people to agree to this! Haha. This is going to be a great device for the market.

+1 to the triumph forum. I would love development. I don't think it'll be completely necessary, but always something I want with an Android phone.

+1 from me. I'm going to hope this on sale at radioshack when it comes out. They usually do that. Fingers crossed....

Full hdmi mirroring, adreno 205, etc. Im excited.
Coming from a galaxy s, the screen type will be drastically different but paying 25 a month instead of 73 is worth it!

Yes sir radio Shack will have it for sure. I'm already thinking of rooting this phone with super one click root lol
Definitely, need a section here. It's the first high end phone with Virgin Mobile and it will attract a lot of users.
I agree, please create a new forum section for the triumph.
I think the fact that when you search for this device on google, this thread comes up, will help us get our subforum. People are going to love messing with this phone.

+1 I'll buy this phone as soon as I see it in stores. Would love to root it and mess around with it!
+1 I too would like too see this forum and Motorola Photon 4G as well.
Im sure the photon will be getting a subforum in due time. Im campaigning for the Triumph to get one because I do not want it to be overlooked because it is a prepaid device.

I have the money set aside to pick this bad boy up. I would love to see a community around such a device.
Ordered
I pre-ordered mine from Bestbuy, and ordered a Skinomi screen protector from Amazon.
I hope that best buy price matches.

This is the next phone I'll be getting, i hope the community really gets behind it.
Based on the response here, at HoFo and PrepaidAndroid- I can see this phone having a thriving community.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I'm keeping an eye on this phone. Rumor at HoFo was that Virgin was going up to $35 a month, but haven't seen any dates.
I really liked the Optimus V, and plan to move to Virgin sometime soon. A Triumph would be nice. Hopefully some 'slickdeals' happen on it soon.

Worth buying for $95 obo?

Spotted this deal on craigslist. Comes with a car and home charger for $95 obo. looks clean in the pics. Might be stolen though, so I'm not sure if it's worth it.
What's your take, guys?
Thank you!
Yeah. It sounds nice
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
from price point its a good deal as long as you could make sure ... everything works.
from xda point of view I guess this phone is among the few that got most attention from devs so there is a lot of custom FW available for this little phone.
out of curiosity ... why do you want to buy an older device?
I am sure you have your reasons ... but anyways ... just asking
It's for my lady she played with a galaxy s 4g in a t-mobile store and liked it. she still has a nokia 5800 lol haven't heard back from the person, so... found a galaxy s 4g for $75 lol waiting to hear back as well.
Xda gave the phone gingerbread but that is where it ends. No cm7 no miui. Truthfully, this phone is not getting the support.
Good news is that this phone is a great phone and at that price is worth it.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
thank you, guys! haven't heard back from the people... oh well, was good talking to you all
My girlfriend was running cm7 nightlies. It runs really well, pulls home fast data on i9000 roms. As long as you go custom rom, it's a pretty good phone
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
we have a thread in the sensation sub-forum about gs2 and a lot of people didn't want to get it because of the quality issues with their vibrants and galaxie's. is it really that bad?
try to get the ime of the phone and call att and ask them to verify the ime if someone just reported if it was stolen or lost.. I did that before I buy a cheap phone from craigslist.. just to be cautious

Switching to the Skyrocket?

Is anyone switching to the Skyrocket? It comes out tomorrow. I really like my Infuse but there is an update on one of my lines and my mom broke the screen on her phone. So I am thinking about giving her my Infuse and upgrading to the Skyrocket.
In your predicament, personally, I would do it
I'm getting the skyrocket but keeping my infuse.

A beast that in many ways is slower than the 1.2GHz dual core in the real sgs2 which has a ton of development since it is an international phone unlike all this north America carrier specific junk we have to deal with.
Ok so its still a beast and probably highly overclockable, I have to wonder about features like mhl though, the att sgs2 that's already out doesn't come with the adapter, will the sky rocket? I guess the infuse needs a selling point with all these super phones coming out.
I'm still thinking of between the Vivid and Skyrocket, probably Skyrocket though.
I'm not going to do the same thing I did on my Vibrant, and be an early adopter, I'm going to wait a week or 2 to see what development is like, but I truly only want root, and I can wait for everything else.
EDIT: YES! I just looked on the AT&T website, and my area is one that the SGS II (original) wasn't sold, so the Skyrocket is $149.99, and the Vivid is $99.99 for me..
Guess I'll be getting one of the 2. xD
Naw, its a SnapDragon.
Just flashed my phone from MIUI back to stock, ready with the box and everything to go switch out my infuse first thing tomorrow for the Skyrocket!

after having the evo3d having dual cores is not that big of a deal
Debating. I am going to go today to take a look at it if the store has them and decide. Will be keeping my Infuse either way and not using my upgrade.

Exactly 35 days after using my second upgrade on an Xperia Play, I find out AT&T is releasing a motherload of new phones. This is my face right now.

Oh well, It will be interesting to see how these new phones fare! Plus I still have my infuse! ^_^
If I can get Bestbuy to price match at $150 im in. I do not see it for that price anywhere right now though.
Gave infuse to my stepson, skyrocket in-hand from Best Buy. $249.99 DFW

Galaxy Note...Are you switching?

Just curious how many of us out there are going to move on to the galaxy note. I'm still in my 30 days with skyrocket and trying to make the decision to return it and go back to my old phone until the note comes out. I love the skyrocket but I switched to it for bigger display and LTE and the note accomplishes that even further. Soooo what do you all think?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
Hmm... I'll make the decision once ICS comes out for our phone and compare.

If it has an S3, I'm staying far away from it.
The Adreno 220 is good, but terrible at higher res, look at the Rezound, it lags on anything.
The Note won't be any different...
The note didn't lag on me at all...and battery life was amazing ...I was on it for two hours straight
Its an amazing device....but I am waiting for the galaxy s3

Mr ed,
Were you on LTE when you tested it? How was the reception on LTE? I wonder if it is any thicker than the International version? I may sell my skyrocket and get the ATT version to go with my International GNote if the battery life and reception etc all review out well. I will wait a month or so after the launch to make sure I see all the reviews before moving forward.
Once you get used to the GNote, the skyrocket does not cut it for resolution and features.
Yeah after only two hours with it my skyrocket seems so wimpy

Ill be switching. Ive had something warm for the Note since its release but couldn't justify buying an unlocked unwarrentied phone (I party too much) My skyrocket has performed amazingly and it seems from the numbers the Note will too. I had an ATT sgs2 and then the skyrocket and I couldn't notice any difference in the processors. Ill have the ATT Note on launch day and Im sure Ill love it.
Hmm... according to red in another thread, AT&T is getting the GNexus.
I seriously hope that's true, so I'll wait a month or 2 (also gives the Note time to mature, and get some dev going, I don't like being an early adopter.)
Sorry if that came across that way...they are NOT getting it

Well then.... ****.
I can get the International GNexus, or AT&T GNote... this will be one tough choice.
I'd love to switch, but just got the combo Skyrocket + Galaxy Tab 8.9. I suppose I can't return just the Skyrocket now. The 30 day return window should be up by next week.
My only option should be selling the skyrocket on ebay. How much are they going for anyway?
Aww man the G Note, i am really wanting one but the screen size is giving me second thoughts. Maybe if i see one in person i would probably have a better decision. If not the G Note i may just hold out for the skyrocket HD with 4.65 screen it could be the perfect size for me.
Mmmm Note is very attractive but I'm going to wait the price get lower....can't wait
Enviado desde mi GT-S5570L usando Tapatalk
Any skyrocket devs going to the note? It would be nice to have some guys familiar with the hardware cooking for this monster. Im hoping that there just has to be some recompiling done to the skyrocket roms to accomadate the larger hd screen. I would guess the faux kernel would work since it says it works with pretty much all GB sammys. I almost which sammy sprung the release on us like they did with the skyrocket lol this wait is killing me

USA s4 buyers?

with all due respect as i browse the s4 forums i see this phone will be super popular with our friends overseas. i guess the question i have is what US developers and US xda members will be buying this phone? im just concerned on how decent development will be for the US based variants?
Us development is going to be good. The us SGs3 Roms were interchangeable with just small things fixed like modems, etc.
It'll most likely be the same with the sgs4 but even better as tons of countries in Europe will have the Us version as well.

well considering i just bought a spiegen case and lcd protector weeks ahead of the preorder you can tell im getting one. i guess worse comes to worse and development lacks i could always sell it and get the htc one.
Okay, now how is development going to be better than on the HTC one lol. More people will have a sgs4. Its like 5 to 1 in sales I think. Pre orders are 4 times more than the sgs3 in certain parts of the UK from reports.

there is a lot of development going on in the htc one forums. the only reason i didn't get one was because of the non removable battery.

There's a lot of development because it came out.
What I'm saying that the SGS4 will have a equal amount of development but most likely greater since for every HTC One there will be 3 or 4 SGS4s.
I live in the U.S. and my upgrade comes available on the same day AT&T starts taking pre orders. Coincidence? I think not...

Same here. I decided to add my parents onto my line and use their upgrades. Now I get a upgrade every single year. They don't like smartphones and prefer simple flip phones.
