What are the chances current rooting methods and ROM's for the DHD will work on the Inspire?
I would assume that it would be the same. We just have to wait for the devs to get their hands on it. I am ditching the captivate for a better working gps and larger screen. Hoping this phone pans out to be half way decent.
If you can run dhd roms with it and swap out the modem driver for the 4g then we should have gingerbread in the form of cm7 right away.
Woo can't wait!

There is nothing to swap modem wise... "4G" is not a feature that has been added compared to the European or Telus version. They all have HSPA+. It's just that AT&T has decided to give the technology a flashy name.

The inspire 4G looks identical to the Desire HD and according to my sources they share the same code name .... ACE .... if this is the case the desire HD stuff is relevent ..... when someone gets there hands on one pls pm me to see if the inspire can be rotted by the normal methods ( user shoud know how to use fastboot + adb )

If anyone is brave enough to teardown an Inspire 4G, they could also compare to the DHD teardown:
http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/40711-demontage-desire-hd-tombe-dans-leau/
And confirm if anything looks greatly different.
Seeing as the Telus Desire HD will be on the same frequencies and was announced the same day as AT&T's version, I would be very surprised if there were any hardware differences at all between that and the Inspire 4G. The Telus/Bell network is HSPA+ capable (as evidenced by Bell's Desire Z launch) so I can't see any reason Telus would intentionally ask HTC to send them a version with such a feature stripped out.
If it turns out to be able hackable via the exact same way as the Desire HD and it can run the same unmodified ROMS then perhaps this entire forum section for the Inspire 4G is pointless. In which case it might be better to get rid of the Inspire 4G section or rather merge it and rename the Desire HD to "Desire HD / Inspire 4G"
@r_3 You're going from the Captivate? Is the gps and .3in'' bigger screen worth it? Im not triking to say anything; I have the captivate as well and just wondering about your feelings on it.

I have one too, and yes.
It's not just GPS and a bigger screen.
I don't know about you, but I'm STILL waiting for the Sense ROM to get stable for Captivate and I don't think it's coming anytime soon. Inspire is.
Plus the better camera and flash.
Plus the more premium-feeling aluminum case.
Plus, again--HTC.
I would switch in a heartbeat considering warranty has to give you a phone due to ATT not holding Captivate [refurb] anymore.
Captivate, Galaxy, Vibrant, whatever the hell they call that phone these day, it sux donkey's balls. The GPS is garbage, the phone feels like garbage in ur hands, samsung software update is garbage. Stick w HTC, even if they dont give out official updates, we will always be up to date due to how much devs here on xda are supporting HTC products, HTC sense beats samsung, motorola and lg all day.
I know I am doing my best to justify changing phones form the Captivate, mostly because of the similarity to the DHD and the fact that it is an HTC phone.
Its working gps. Supported phone from the manufacturer. Flash for the camera. Etc that have me leaving my captivate. SAMSUNG really rubbed me the wrong way and a lot of other people as well with their lack of communication and support for their customers. They are more interested in developing new phones and forgetting about their existing customer base and keeping them as loyal customers.
HTC is a phone company that I have used in the past and have been extremely happy with them. I will never buy another SAMSUNG phone.
I think you guys have talked me into it. When I night the captivate I was happy with it for a little until I hit the common problems (gps, updates, lack of real asop devs). I have really wanted to get an htc but I don't want to lose the great display. Do you guys think the inspire will have a better screen than the evo? My buddy has one and the display is lacking big time.

Does your buddy have the AMOLED or SLCD Evo?
The AMOLED is comparable to the Nexus One screen which is brilliant in some light and rather dim in others. The SLCD has a more even appearance to it, and is comparable to the Desire HD screen. Possibly still not as bright as the Samsung super AMOLED but you'd have to decide for yourself.

Is this true for all ATT stores? I'd love to be able to go in and get an Inspire 4g but since I bought the Captivate on day 1 I am not eligible for an upgrade yet. I'm fed up with the nonfunctional GPS in the Captivate.

+1 I think what he was saying is that if you go in to get a new phone from warranty they would be forced to give you an inspire?? If this is indeed true I believe everyone in the right mind would be switching out their cappy for a new inspire. I just can't see ATT actually doing this. I mean they totally should it has been like 6 months and my GPS is still as f*@KE# as it was in the beginning. I have tried every hack mod fix and rom out there and no matter what it doesnt hold a candle to my gf's iphone 4. [email protected] SAMSUNG AND THEIR UNWILLINGNESS TO HELP PREVIOUS CUSTOMERS.

Hey.. question.. does this phone have speaker phone.. AT&T cant confirm it! LOL
With the SGS II not coming to Canada anytime soon, Im looking for a different android phone to play around with and probably end up keeping in the long run. I was dead set on getting an Atrix purely for the power of the phone and the lapdock accessory, after seeing most of the reviews saying that I was better off getting an actual laptop for the same price and could do far more itself, Im kinda leaning off the Atrix trail atm. So I was thinking about either the Nexus S or the HTC Incredible S. Or should I still go ahead with the Atrix (Even though that pretty little bootloader still aint unlocked)?

Skip the Atrix as the software (and Motoblur) is terrible - the hardware is amazing, but it feels crippled by the crappy software, The HTC Incredible S is a nice phone, IMO it doesn't excel in any one category, but overall is a pretty good device. Note that if you are into modding, the Incredible S has a locked bootloader and root still has not been achieved on it for the Bell version.
The Nexus S is pretty good, but is missing a couple of things I like (LED notification light and an SD card slot), but it is a stock Google phone and should be great for modding. I'm currently on a SE Arc - overall, I think I prefer it to the Incredible S and the Nexus S.
BTW, some of the UK sellers are now selling the Galaxy S II if you want to pick one up.

Yes, they would. Check out clove.co.uk and expansys for more information.
If the Sensation has the same camera (8 MP) as the Incredible S, then I would suggest that you look at alternate camera's. While it's great to have a 8MP camera, the Incredible S camera is not as good as some of the other 8MP camera's.
Personally, I would lean towards the Galaxy S II!
i'd go with the nexus s

I think the SGS II costs about $680 (GBP440), not $900.
Anyway, I found the software on the Atrix bad enough to sell it a couple of months into ownership. There are a few issues on the Rogers/Fido network with the Atrix - e.g. capped upload speeds (max 384kb upload), issues with displaying Caller ID with name and issues with wifi hot spots. The hardware is amazing, but I wish I could install HTC Sense on it (never going to happen due to a locked bootloader).
It's your call in the end, but maybe it's better to wait for the prices to come down.

Yea was doing a bit more research on the Atrix and found out that issue as well. When you say $680, that canadian or US? The cappy i have right now, got someone to buy it for $500. So I guess forking out $200 more shouldnt hurt.
I will go for Incredible S. Why? Just preference. What I normally do is if you really can't decide, head to the shop and try the feel of the phone.
If you are leaning towards hardware and stuff, then of course would need more advise on those who had hands on experience with it.
Just my 2 cents.
Kinda thinking about grabbing a SGS 2. Just trying to find out if there's gonna be an issue ordering it to Canada and through who.

I ordered the SGS2 through Clove, but you can also choose Handtec or Expansys.
I would pick the Nexus. That thing is faster stock than you're ever going to need it. SGS2 seems like a good pick but so did the first Galaxy S phones before they came out.

I read somewhere that said the HTC Sensation's bootloader is locked. Though it's not impossible to unlock it but it will be difficult and it might take awhile.

Engadget had a post today saying that HTC was considering unlocking the bootloader.
In a market where the (good) phones are currently even so far as specs are concerned, a company would be shooting themselves in the foot by restricting a system that the others are leaving open.
My 2 cents.
My other 2 cents is if you can wait, then wait. Play with the Sensation when it comes out. You like it, buy it. You don't, buy the G2x.
My last bit of change, if you are content for the time being with the phone you have, don't jump for either until at least a month after the Sensation has come out. Right now, the G2x user experience for the majority of us is frustrating and I can only imagine the Sensation will be the same. Just wait and see what comes of both of them.
Get all of them!!!!! :d:d:d:d:d
I posted a TON of information why I didn't like the Sensation. The encrypted locked bootloader was high on the list but here are others:
-The Tegra 2 is like 33% more powerful then the dual-core snapdragon
-HDMI/microUSB = No HDMI Out + Charging (since no TV's support the MDLP yet)
-Locked encrypted Bootloader + New Sense = Mercy of HTC for bug fixes
-NVidia pushing devs for enhanced Tegra Apps = No go on non-Tegra devices
-Lower Res Front Camera
It does look like a sexy phone though. We'll see what problems it has out of the box compared to the G2x.
The G2x does have its problems but Tegra chips are new. Most work pretty well out of the box. Most of the issues we have is from the phone shipping with a 2.2 Kernel and everyone is flashing the leaked 2.3.3 rom. The drivers and stuff get funky but we're expected to get an updated kernel soon (the OS was already leaked).
I would agree though that I would wait a few weeks. While the G2x is great, it would be best to know your options to what best suites you. The Sensation is due out soon and you can compare the two side-by-side.
If the bootloader was unlocked, I could "possibly" live with the other stuff.
Wait and see what our big gingerbread update looks like on the g2x because like someone said before, this has been a frustrating experience so far... once we get that bad boy out and assuming it is a stable, quality build with much better driver support then the sky is the limit with this device! it will be the tegra2 flagship phone for the next 18 months
few things about the sensation that bothered me from my n1, and this is an HTC issue, their external speakers are a joke to say the least, poorly positioned, horrible sound, never loud enough... the g2x's external speaker is pretty solid in my opinion. And the HTC cameras are nothing to brag about either. I saw a video of both phones doing 1080p recording and the Sensation had a horrible red-shift problem...
number 1 nicely put player911 and yo the g2x is a ****in beast i had alot of phones n this one is the fastest yea theres little problems here n there but they will get addressed with updates this phone is a dev magnet not so sure the sensation will be like that especially if htc doesnt to unlock the bootloader ...y the **** would they do that no one else does that just screams dont buy me ur at the mercy of htc n there never to come updates if theres bugs dude i say g2x all the way!!!!!!!!!

Honestly, I love this phone but the lack of custom ROMs is starting to annoy me. I want a damn MIUI ROM or at least something other than CM7 and EaglesBlood (I love AOSP though but MIUI on top of AOSP would be perfect). HTC phones always seem to end up with the most development behind them and their touch panels are some of the most sensitive in the industry (quite unlike the G2x which annoys the hell out of me sometimes with how hard I have to press on it). I think the tides will start to turn on HTC development though with the locked bootloaders.
That said, between HTC, LG, and Samsung - I'd pick the Samsung. For one, HTC uses Snapdragon chips - Qualcomm has a long (very long) history of promising that their chips will do this, that, the third, and even the fourth - but they never come through. Tegra 3 is coming out this year though and that's going to be a beast to contend with - the Exynos from Samsung absolutely decimates the Tegra 2.
Build quality on my Captivate was phenomenal - I've never had an HTC phone with great build quality - and that's going all the way back to the PPC-6800. There have always been issues. This is my first LG phone and while I enjoy it a lot, the touch panel sensitivity is a huge issue when I'm gaming and really needs to be fixed.
Also, HTC tends to say that the phone has "x" amount of storage space but what really happens (like what happened with the Inspire) is they partition and format it in a way that means you get slightly less than half what they advertise. HTC also has a history of shoddy driver support.
The only pro I see with the HTC is how fast HTC does device updates - that said, they're always sloppy releases and devs have to take them apart anyway - add in the locked bootloader and I don't really see a lot of devs going that way. Also the TegraZone is quickly growing - developers are really taking to the Tegra platform and producing some astounding applications as a result. There is no Qualcomm or Samsung zone and Tegra-optimized applications will not run on another chipset.

hi,
this is my first thread. right now I have a Galaxy Mini and planning to buy some high end android device. I like music so much but I dont like a huge android phone (Sensation XE, eventhough I love Beats) and I don't really like the Xperia either. so my question is what is the best android phone which has screen size about 3.7~4in and also dual core processor?
camera is not my biggest consern.
thank you
update:
nevermind. I found my dream phone, it's called Motorola Atrix. it has 4" display, 1gig of RAM and dual core processor. Im getting it shortly.
thanks for the comment and suggestions. I really appreciate that.
cheers
Personally i would go with the HTC Rezound. in my opionion htc phones are the "best" for running any rom in my experience. it seems that people are more dedicated to making new roms for any htc phone and making improvements but thats only my opinion. it has a dual core and is 4.3 in display (hope thats okay). it also comes with the beats audio. its lightning fast and runs on 4G LTE and much more little tweaks for an htc phone . you can also go with the google nexus it runs on ICS and all google. i have tried the ICS roms myslef on my HTC Inspire 4g and i have to say i love them. ICS is amazing and very fast. but if your main focus is music the google nexus is not a good fighter for it. those are the two phones that im looking into buying soon.

Here in the US, there are only a couple of phones that fit your criteria. There's the Atrix 4g, which has a 4" qhd display, with a Tegra 2 dual core chip, and 1gb of RAM.Some people might say the Atrix sucks, but I had it, and it was a solid phone. The other option is the iphone 4s, but I hate iPhones, so I can not attest to them.
Being in Indonnesia, you probably have access to Sharp and NTT Docomo. I know there are a couple of dual core phones with 3.5"-4" screens.

I can get it unlocked for you. You will have to do some research concerning shipping. The zipcode is 01373.
If we decide to do this, it will be done by the rules. I will create a Want To Sell thread, where all the details will be laid out. Let me know.

I went to the DHL site today and got a rate quote. It says that the shipping cost from CONNECTICUT 01373 to BANDUNG 40379 is $145. I dont know if this rate quote is right because I wrote these following informations:
Weight: 5 lbs
Junior Box (or something like that).. so Im start to thinking to buy two phones at once. And the other one beside Atrix that I wanna buy is Samsung Skyrocket, what is the price of Skyrocket anyway? Thank you

Htc evo 4g internet won't work. Gives error code 129
I recently purchased an HTC EVO 4G rooted and with the custom Rom Energy installed by the previous owner. Problem is since I activated the phone days ago the internet won't work. When I turn it on it reads Error Code 129- unable to establish a data connection. The phone will make calls and receive calls and I can text. However when I try to launch internet explorer it says to make sure your device has a signal and data connection. I called Sprint and they tried to walk me through the manual prl update but the rom I run doesn't have a system update setting so I can't manually update the prl. I have a 3G signal on my phone so the techs at the store told me that my internet should work on a regular phone. The tech suggested that I remove the root. Does anyone know what the problem could be? All help would be greatly appreciated.
For anyone else reading this thread who might like another opinion, I own an LG Optimus 2X which fits the bill in the original post, and with ICS installed it really comes alive! Is down to £199 RRP in places too so could be a good dual core phone for on a budget soon!

If a 4.3" screen is too big fir you, a 4.5" screen is going to be HUGE. Skyrockets are here go for about $380-$430usd. As for the shipping quote, try using 2lbs as a shipping weight. Shouldn't weigh more than that.

hi,
this is my first thread. right now I have a Galaxy Mini and planning to buy some high end android device. I like music so much but I dont like a huge android phone (Sensation XE, eventhough I love Beats) and I don't really like the Xperia either. so my question is what is the best android phone which has screen size about 3.7~4in and also dual core processor?
camera is not my biggest consern.
thank you
update:
nevermind. I found my dream phone, it's called Motorola Atrix. it has 4" display, 1gig of RAM and dual core processor. Im getting it shortly.
thanks for the comment and suggestions. I really appreciate that.
cheers

This is the wrong thread to post this question, but because you actually tried to help yourself first, before asking this question, I'll help you. First thing to do is call Sprint and give them your IMEI# so they can register the phone to your account. Then ask them to push the internet settings to your phone, then ask them to refresh their system. After that, pull the battery from your phone, replace, and power it on, and try connecting to the internet.
If that doesn't work, you might want to restore your phone to stock.
BTW this might be a stupid question, but are you sure you have a data package on your account?

Tmobile announced today that they have launched "hd voice" network wide. They said its compatible with the hos, gsg3, and some other phone. Does anyone know if it'll work on aosp? It looks like it's software codec.

I wish T-Mobile was just as good here like it is over there, so would love to have WiFi Calling.

Says it's live now?!? And from what I understand from the article we don't need to upgrade to use it.
Try making a call with 3G on.
Blah.

I'm on AOSP (JellyBAM), and my wife and uncle are both on AOKP (all three HOS's). I haven't spent more than a couple hours on sense since I got the phones. I just hate the feel of it. The camera on Sense is incredible though.
I haven't noticed call quality changing, but i don't really expect it to be in AOSP immediately. It sounds fully software, so here's to hoping it gets merged into CM and so on, so we can all use it
it shouldn't depend on the software though.

Yeah, the article said the 3 phones, including ours, doesn't need an update. It's already implemented into the HOS. The Towers? are just supporting it now.

I have to ask but why the fcuk buy three HOS phones that run on sense if you don't want or like sense so then end up compromising features such as camera? Just does not make any sense to me why.

a few reasons...
it's the best phone for the price point on Craigslist ($200). I don't think i've ever seen a galaxy nexus on craigslist in my area, or I would have grabbed it.
it's a very fast phone. worlds better then my MT4G (which i also used on aosp).
I'm not compromising the camera, because the camera itself takes awesome pics, i only wish the software features of the sense camera were in aosp. Any alternative phone with aosp would have an equal or lesser camera to the HOS.
I prefer to have one phone model for everyone I support, so i don't have to follow multiple forums; I decided to settle on the HOS. Also, I've always liked the build quality of HTC.

Sure, but it's not just a question of the phone, also the carrier. Other carriers will implement this feature differently, so you only get the benefit if you call another tmo customer who has one of the three supported phones.

so can anyone confirm HD voice works on rooted/custom ROM devices? i have One S (custom) and S3 (unrooted stock) from T-Mo and still haven't noticed any changes using one with the other.

honestly i think t-mobile lied. I think its been enabled since the one s came out. at least in some areas. I've noticed since i got this phone that the call quality is higher when i call my gf (she has a one s also). im not flashing sense to test the sound quality between the two however. way to lazy for that.
