I'm looking for an Android tablet, preferably under $200.
Features wanted:
Preferably upgradable to Froyo (by rooting etc)
I don't care about resistive/capacitive, and Galaxy Tab is too expensive
Thanks
I would get the Hauwei Ideos S7 because it is unlocked and you can use it as a 7" phone.
Being a new Verizon customer myself, how do you activate this on Verizon? (Always an AT&T/TMobile customer before, SIM all the way...) xD
You can only activate things that verizons sells on verizon.
I would do a AT&T GoPhone or T-Mobile prepaid option for this baby
I would check att first, with tmo you will only get 2g/edge network. Other than that, its fine.
Sent from Jt's Samsung Galaxy Tab!!
I am about to upgrade mine and my wifes phone and I need some guidance on what phone I should get. I will prob get my wife an iphone or windows7 phone, just because I want something easy and painless for her.
I am looking to go to either ATT or Verizon. I have a Samsung Captivate. My biggest problem with this phone is the lag. I can't seem to get rid of it no matter what I do. So the biggest thing that I am looking for in a phone is no lag. I don't really care about custom roms so much because if it runs my apps correctly then there is no need to run a custom rom, so locked boot loader is ok for me.
I have been looking at the new Droid X2 or maybe Droid Charge. LTE is not in my area but will be by the years end, so is getting an LTE phone now what I should do? Do you think it will be better to get a phone off ebay/craigslist and just wait for a newer phone?
I have been a faithful ATT subscriber for years, but they have been pissing me off lately so thinking about switching to Verizon, but if I can get the phone I am looking for on ATT, I will stay.
I am in need of some guidance.
Thanks,
Keith
Buy it on ebay and wait for a phone with ice cream dual core speeds
If you make the switch to Verizon. I would say the HTC Thunderbolt. It almost made me change from T-Mobile using HTC G2. I just like the G2's keyboard. The Thunderbolt is a powerful device that will do anything you want it to. I used a friends Thunderbolt for a few weeks. I never had a problem with lag. It really is a nice phone. That is just my opinion though.
So, I recently acquired a Motorola Droid 2 Global... I rooted it, installed a nice version of ICS on it, and the phone is quite decent for what it is... instead of selling/trading it, I am looking to possibly use it for my OOPS phone... I do a lot of kayaking, some whitewater, and need a phone on the boat but need one which I care not if it dumps in the river... Problem is... I have a rooted beauty of a Samsung Galaxy that is my every day phone thru T-Mobile (and LOVE IT!)... This Moto is thru Verizon... can I make it compatible w/ T-Mobile so I can sim card swap and call it a day??
Hi,
I will be traveling on vacation and wanted to use my Verizon phones in Italy. I was told the least expensive way is to use a European carrier while over there. Would I simply be able to take the VZW sim cards out and plug in the European carriers card or do I need to change settings in the phones to use them. We have a Droid Maxx (newest one), iPhone5, iPhone4S and a Note 2. The Note is running Alliance ROM while the others are pure stock phones.
Any help given would be appreciated and thank you in advance.
Verizon will sell you a somewhat stripped down version of this phone, the One 5g UW Ace, with 64GB ram and 4GB rom, vs. 128/6 on the retail variant.
I'd like to get the retail unlocked version for slightly better specs and to avoid having all the Verizon crapware that becomes permanently embedded on the phone.
Does anyone have any real life experience using the retail version on Verizon? I am especially concerned with Wifi calling, as parts of my home absolutely require this feature.
Thanks for any input!
I am using the retail version on AT&T. The wifi calling works great.

I've had the retail phone for over 6 months and it is solid in call quality / WiFi calling (I'm on T-Mo) but if pictures are important to youm it will disappoint" the camera quality is similar to a 2014 Moto G's camera.

My interest is to have a decent phone that works with Verizon and that isn't stuffed with carrier crapware. Photos are secondary...
My Metro variant 5G Ace is currently on US Mobile's Verizon network. What I did was:
1. Input another IMEI to port my phone number because the 5G Ace isn't on Verizon's "compatible" phones list (I used an unlocked iPhone in my case)
2. Put the SIM card into the iPhone to activate the card. (My 5g Ace didn't have service right after porting, YMMV)
3. Put the SIM card into the 5g Ace
Also, I'm not able to change the preferred network type and the signal bars in the status bar change to a different design for some reason.
WiFi calling works as well.

Hi Fonewatcher, I am glad to find this thread as I just bought a plan through T-Mobile yesterday, and chose another Moto (the Moto One 5G Ace). Am not sure I have wifi calling, but I would like to know a lot more about this phone. I found an excellent tutorial to follow here, but I also like to find others that use the phone & service just for occasional tips if I get stuck.
For the thread topic I wanted to check and see how to get rid of as much bloatware, T-Mobile apps, ads. I don't believe I can actually make the phone "retail" because I know some apps I can't uninstall, like my last Moto G6 from Verizon. When I closed my Verizon Acct. I still was unable to uninstall the apps Verizon put on there. I found one video this a.m. here and I think it was pretty good on clearing off but if there is more I can do I would like to learn.

Look in the guide section here. Getting rid of TMO stuff seems to be a big part of the motivation for the writers of the guides.

I have this phone and I use Total Wireless (Verizon). Wifi calling does not work on this phone.
