I'm soon getting some cash to blow and after I donate to some of the devs around here am looking to change phones.
I would like to get something without a contract and save my upgrade for an emergency. Like the insurance wants 200 bucks to replace my infuse? (They must know it's rooted cause stock isn't worth that!)
I'm looking for a screen at least as big if not bigger and a removable SD card.
Any suggestions?

Thx, but it really is a very helpful thread used XDA wide... And being located in the Main XDA Q&A section you will get all walks of device ideas.
IMHO
When you call and they say "looks like you have an infuse" tell them you had a galaxy s3 and dropped it in water, and you hooked up your infuse. If they don't believe you, hang up and call back.
Att thinks it's worth 200 but we all know it isn't. I had to pay the 200 once they thought i had an iPhone (ex phone) and we said no it was an infuse. And they replaced the infuse. But that was the truth. Not sure if they could see my device history. You could borrow a friends phone and attach it to make it appear true.

There's a thought but my entire device history with at&t IS the infuse. That and everyone I know is on Verizon. I need to make new friends. Probably what's going to happen is I'm going to upgrade my wife to the s3 and then have 2 infuses. Then maybe I can finally start figuring out how to do all the good stuff myself.
Or I'll go target practice. One or the other.
Only thing I know for sure is that donations for devs will be in affect shortly.

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

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.

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

Verizon is not the same phone and you need to sign up for two years. I think it is a good deal, but that is me.

Maybe you should ask him if he would help first. If he agrees then we might be able to set up another phone fund. Since we just lost are kernel dev it would be great to get another.

If you guys are still selling your phones, I would recommend putting an ad up on your local craigslist. Before I dove into the root world and unlocked my SG4G to its full potential, I posted an ad up to sell my phone for $200 and got all kinds of offers. This was about two months ago.
Sad to see many people moving away from this phone. Although I do believe it is becoming outdated, I still think its a great phone nonetheless. I'm personally holding onto it because I will be spending a year abroad and have already unlocked it for international use.
Best of luck.
I'm trading for an hd2 and beats!

Best wishes to you as you get your next phone. Have you considered holding on to your Infuse to develop on as you use the next phone as a daily driver? It will be at least another year before I even consider another phone, but when I do, I'll definitely be holding on to the Infuse to tinker on. Just a thought, though I know that $235 is pretty tempting for a high school student.

I have been in that road back and fourth after trading my iPhone 4 32g for the Infuse and I do not regret it one bit. I would wait for the Galaxy S3 if i were you unless you have a reason not to. Ex: smaller screen. That is my plan as soon as prices come down a little.
thanks for all that you contributed to the forums man. But, I agree with everyone else up there, keep it. Just to tinker on. Maybe rip it apart and go to town on it you know.
Hopefully I'll be seeing you in the NOTE forums in another month or so.

Well...I just wanted to try something completely new...my dad has the atrix so I'm kinda used to motoblur, I'm used to touchwiz...never used an HTC device though so I just wanted to get one...the vivid was just right for the price...couldn't afford a one x and didn't want to downgrade...so I sold the infuse and added $5 to that money and bought the vivid...it just kinda worked out, wasn't like I was out on a hunt for only a vivid...just got it cause it was inexpensive and it was dual core with more ram...

Do you think Samsung will ever put Ice Cream Sandwich on the charge or we stuck with Gingerbread? if not, Will the developers here ever be able to develop ICS for the charge? The reason I ask is because the new Verizon contracts eliminate unlimited data and in order to keep it, I'm looking at buying phones outright to avoid signing a new contract. I know things can change between now and next spring when I become upgrade eligable, but I don't feel so lucky.
If Verizon does not change plans do you think it's worth looking at Sprint or is this a downgrade network and/or equipment wise?
Mike
ICS is working on the phone...sorta. CM9 is almost fully functional, but there's no mobile data, so it isn't usable as a daily driver. For it to become fully functional, the RIL needs to be fully cracked, and there's just no motivation for devs to work that hard on the RIL this phone. It's bleeding users (me including), and no other phones (other than some prepay variants) use the same radios, so there's really not much to gain. I don't think jt has given up, but I just don't think it's a priority.
I'd bet money that Samsung/Verizon will never release ICS. There isn't enough room for a TouchWiz version of ICS on /system, and you can bet that they won't release a Google Experience version.
Edit: You can do like I did and check out swappa.com. I bought a used device from there and had a fantastic shopping experience and got a great phone in great condition for a fair price. Can't say enough good things about that site.
Thanks. I kind of expected as much. This phone is getting kind of old. I still have it as I refuse to upgrade if I don't have to.

I'm in the same boat right now. I have unlimited data and don't want to give it up, but paying for an un-subsidized phone is just insane. Really wish we had ICS on our phones, but I'm still hoping and praying that a dev could help us poor souls

It's a good idea to ask to use it wherever you're picking it up so you can make sure it's functional.

That doesn't mean you're the only one that can read the reply. In an open discussion, responses are read/heard by everyone, and things said can often be more for the benefit of everyone else rather than the person it's directed at. It's a very common debate tactic to speak to the audience through your opponent, but it's useful in any open discussion. He quoted you because yours was the most relevant post.
Plus, you were talking about being scared of being taken on CL, so he was offering some very relevant advice.

Hey there.
I noticed a bunch of you are possibly getting a different phone. If you plan on getting a different phone, we want it.
Some of you have broken phones.
I am looking for an sgs4g to totally rip apart for scientific reasons. I want to try my hands at making a reversed engineered schematic.
If the phone works great, it will be a lame demise... but if it totally doesn't turn on, has a broken screen, is already kinda smashed. I don't care! Send it to me!
Let me know.
This thread is only for serious offers to let me have your phone to rip it apart. This will only help our community.
If you are not serious and are looking to just say things or whatever off-topic, I will have the moderator delete your post.
Thanks!
Question: Are you asking for them to be donated or are you purchasing them?
Edit: This thread is only for serious offers to let me have your phone to rip it apart.
Sorry.
I have a Galaxy S 4G with a Vibrant screen and camera.
So hardware wise, it's a Galaxy S 4G, lookwise, it looks like a Vibrant. (Except for the backcover.)
I'll consider donating it.
