New Phone - Thunderbolt General

Hey guys, I kinda want to make a switch from my Thunderbolt to something new, but not terribly expensive (i.e. less than $100). My upgrade comes in May and I really don't feel like waiting that long. Anyone have a suggestion on what to get and from where?

Not going to find any good phone for less than a hundred bucks. The bolt is that phone and beings you already have it you're Sol.

my upgrade comes on may too, but i didn't want to wait
so i bought a used rezound for 120$.

To Ebay we go!

If it has to be 4G, you won't get anything new, but if not for 4G I'd jump on a Droid Incredible, $110ish new depending on where you look.

Anyone live in NJ, want to trade for Atrix?

Thinking about trying the inspire again, and I'm past my 30 days with the atrix. Its a fine phone with a huge battery and nice screen. Anyone want to give one a try let me know. I have an incipio feather case ill trade with it. Both case and phone are in mint condition. Inspire must also be in mint condition.
...and do we just switch the phones and keep our SIM cards?
That won't create a problem with AT&T&T-Mobile?

I guess. Shouldn't be a problem, both devices are on some sort of smartphone data plan... it's not like one is an iphone data plan and the other is just smartphone.
And why are you interested in an Inspire? Bigger screen? Better camera? Something else?
Yes, what interests you in this whole deal? I am intrigued in this trade possibly and wanna make sure nothing is fishy here hahaha.
Haha there's nothing fishy, trust me. Truth is I've already owned an inspire. I love sense, and I basically got rid of it because of the battery life. I believe with the current roms and rocking green power premium, I could deal with it, and I want it back.
I'm a 23 year old college student, would only trade face to face, and would certainly let whoever demo the atrix to make sure its all good. I take exceptional care of all of my possessions. I'm the kind of dude that would lose it if so much a scratch happened on my phone.
They are both great phones, and I'm probable just being indecisive.
Well I was actually interested in the Atrix myself but am in the same boat as you hahaha. Well if you make up your mind pm me and maybe we can make a deal on the trade.

I'm located in Jersey City, NJ. I could entertain the idea of trading. My Inspire is rooted running Android Revolution 4G, with the Lee kernel (O/C to 1.8Ghz) and with the updated radio and build.prop settings. Phone is about 2 weeks old...

After thinking this through, I can't justify a trade without any sort of money thrown in to the deal. Especially considering I'm going to have to buy another case for the inspire.
I'm also sketched about the battery. Its nice getting 36 hours. Make me an offer if you're really interested.

Or on the other hand, could anyone do a store exchange for a brand new one? That would sweeten the deal as well

Still entertaining offers...neurodave check your pms.
Difference is atrix has its bootloader locked meaning u have to wait on every update via IT'S. It may be dual core but nothing on phone takes advantage of the processor speed. My inspire runs at a great rate and for those quadrant lovers,mine hits 32000 compared to atrix's 2700? If u love atrix,go got it. I returned mine and motoblur is flipping pathetic. Inspire ALL THE WAY!!

[Q] (Q) Is it Worth To Get a Nexus S 4G @ This Point

Simple as the title says, i'm just curious is there any point now to get one.
My intentions are simply to just have a fun, i don't want to activate the phone.
I'm currently a Samsung Epic 4G user, is it worth me to buy this phone?
I found one off craigslist for 100$ and it has bad esn.
Would there be any use for me to get this phone?
Thanks in Advance please don't flame.

A bunch of people will likely say you should wait for the new fancy quad core around that illusive corner or you should get that shiny new joint with the bells, whistles, and whurlies. and to all that I just say, ask yourself these questions:
1. Who has the best development community?
2. Who's been running ics for 5 months now?
3. Who has best mix of functionality and performance?
The answer, my friend, is we do. I learned long ago that hardware is just a hardwired piece of crap without development. And our development, in my opinion, is among the best. And our hardware is nothing to play with either. In fact, I don't think the software is at a level to really use the new hardware. It's like running windows 98 on a quad core machine... Why would anyone do that?
I should add, all this is considering you plan on rooting and flashing. If not, get something else.
You without me is like Harold Melvin without the Blue Notes...

Well of course I'm going to root and flash lol I'm no noob at all just wondering why is it that it has boot loader? And funny thing is the epic has all of the same specs except has a KB, Sd Card Slot, And Soft keys actually light up brighter haha. But ill have to give this a thought, BTW is it really hard to root it? I remember for the Epic was simple and easy.

If you just want to have fun then heck yeah buy it! Haha, there's a bunch of ROMS to flash and probably the most ICS ROMS that are stable besides the GSM NS or the G Nex. You can make it your dedicated mp3 player to lol, I've heard that our NS's have some of the best audio hardware around coupled with voodoo sound And yes it is SUPER easy to root!

Voodoo is an awesome addition to the Nexus, but you can always make it even louder with the Loud Volume Hack
unlocking the boot loader is as simple as "fastboot oem unlock" rooting is also really easy, you can turn it into a massacre machine or make it to last a week without charging, a great gallery of modification have come to beeing that give you even more freedom and.. well a lot more. well for 100$ i'd definitely buy it...again

How would it last a week on a small battery? I have the same phone pretty much and had the oem 1500 mAh and on CM7 usuing VR (Scheduler) and Conservative (Governor Clearly lol) and was heavy UV as well and can barely break 15 Hours. Now I have a hyperion 3500 mAh And most I've gotten is 2 days with about 2 Hrs of actual screen on time. I hopped on netflix other day and straight watched it no interuptions except after movie wifi went out and turned it back got 6 Hrs on battery and about 5 Hrs and 30Mins of actual screen on time. Phone was awake the whole time pretty much. I can post screenies but a lil later busy right now. If it can last you a week what are you doing? Are you actually using the phone haha? Thanks for the input guys considering buying it.
Edit: not to mention I use Juice defender as well to help it out and trust me it lasts longer I've tested it you just have to use correct settings to your usage.

This and the Samsung Galaxy S (aka Epic Touch 4G) are practically the same phone with a different case. Looking at features alone the Galaxy has a microsd card slot and FM radio which the Nexus doesn't. I wouldn't bother buying the Nexus if you keep the Touch unless you're dying for an awesome dev community.

Might trade my SGS3 for an LG Intuition, bad idea?

So im in the talks of trading my SGS3 for an Intuition. I'm curious to see how that phone would be on a daily basis. But im afraid I'll regret the decision. I know this forum will be based. But im reaching out to my fellow XDA addicts for their input.
Let me know what you think about it.

I've really been looking at doing the same. It's hard to get decent opinions because most people say it's bad but have never even seen one irl. One of the big problems I have is it will probably never see a custom rom besides root. It's also a rather old phone but it can still play pretty much any game and handle anything. I played with one at verizon and it had some lag but I'm not sure if it's the launcher or not. Kinda bugs me also because I know I'll lose the stylus and it's just a normal stylus you can buy off amazon for like $2 (nothing like a s pen). I will probably buy one to try it, I can see myself possibly loving it or totally hating it, I doubt there a a middle ground.

If you're into getting a bigger phone, I would hold for the Galaxy Note II. It's coming to Verizon, and is likely to see custom roms. I highly doubt the Intuition will see much. The phone seems solid, but LG has lately had problems with keeping up on Android updates (I'm looking at you, Spectrum). Samsung, while not perfect, shows more promise in rolling out updates.

Yea I'm really thinking about the note 2 as well but the format of the intuition makes it awesome for emails, Internet, pdfs ect. The only only place it lacks is watching videos, and it's S3 cpu which is like 2 years old already I just ask myself how often do I watch videos on my phone, not a ton how often do I email look up things on the Web? Probably 200+ times a day.
I probably still won't get it but I'd love to see them make one (and release it in the us) with better specs and fore thought across the board and I'd be on it

THANK YOU! At least one person said it.... If you cannot do anything to a phone besides rooting it then it won't be in my hands.... I have to have full control so I can optimize every aspect of my phone cause we all know the manufacturers won't and Verizon DEFINITELY won't! The LG is a pretty giant leap back so I would wait for the Note 2 or the possibility of another Nexus device but def do not go backwards... (Just my opinion)
If you don't really care about ever using a custom ROM then go ahead. Otherwise I believe the SGS3 has it beat in every category.
I wouldn't. The single biggest problem with the phone is the aspect ratio. Every single review points out how awkward the phone is with a 4:3 ratio.
I would NOT do it.
If you want a phablet, wait for the Note 2. I highly doubt many devs will work on the intuition. You'd get better development off the droid x2.

Is LG considered a top brand now like Samsung or HTC, or are they still playing around in Huwai level standards?
What are their flagship devices - are they still just knock-offs of font runners or do they have their own developments as contenders?

Intuition has terrible battery life and an even worse camera. I do like the design but there's absolutely no way I'd trade my S3 for one. I'm also waiting on a phablet worthy of ditching my S3. Going to be the Note II probably. Not to mention Samsung has a ton of great tablet/s-pen features that can't be found elsewhere. One last thing is the stylus has no built in holder. You have to carry it separately. Deal breaker right there for me.

Phone now $400 piece of trash :(

I bought this phone a few weeks ago and let me start by saying that I LOVE it. The features, the software, the hardware, EVERYTHING. But I bought it for $400 off the marketplace and it was fine at first, but then it had signal drops (for hours at a time). I didn't notice until it was far too late to ask for a refund. I sent it to Samsung, and they "fixed" it, but I got it back and it still has the issue. I've compared it to my mom's droid charge and hers has far better signal. Verizon won't replace it, but my brother is willing to give up his upgrade. He has a feature phone and no desire to upgrade. Right now I'm looking at another S III, Droid DNA, MAXX HD, or Note 2. Which should I go for?
Have you swapped around radios? Tried different ROMs?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
I am bone stock. Before I sent it in for repair I rooted, and tried every radio.
From the phone choices you picked out I would get the Note 2. If that's too big you can try another S3.
If you have a better suggestion, feel free to let me know. I hate the branded home button on the note 2 though.

I have a similar problem when making or recieving calls. For me I don't talk a lot so it is nota big deal. However you really just need to decide how inconvienient the signal issue is for you.
I would consider it a huge pain in the ass. I want my phone to work, and I'm definitely getting a new phone. I just need to decide which one.
I have also experienced call drops and poor reception in low signal areas. I'd suggest trying out a Motorola, the DNA or the Maxx.
DNA all the way. People will disagree with me because it has no SD slot and non removable battery...but if you don't need those options then I'd go with the DNA...I'm getting the DNA. HTC makes good quality phones in my opinion. Nice soft touch back, not plasticy feeling.

I had good luck with my old moto droid x so I would probably go for the Maxx hdn though as others hace said htc makes a damn nice phone.
I have thought some more on it and I have 13 GB music, 2 GB games, plus other misc stuff, so I would say the DNA is out. The MAXX HD is an option, but the UI is heinous and there is actually 1 ROM for it. The Note II's home button should die a painful death. Any stickers for it take 3 weeks all from Hong Kong. :/ The S III is looking like my best option. Any further advice is appreciated.

My advice? Don't step into a forum that everyone in it owns a certain product and say said product is a piece of trash.
Usually doesn't go over well.
Second, if your going to complain about getting a note 2 and having to wait 3 weeks just to cover the home button so you don't see a branded logo, you've got bigger issues than a phone your not happy with.

Well, thank you kindly for bashing me.
1. Please reread the first sentence of my post (OP).
2. I didn't say that meant I wasn't getting the Note, it's just annoying. But thanks for your great wisdom.
id try another S3.
but i love my phone and havent had any issues.
have you tried a new sim card?
Yes I did, two in fact.
word, hadnt seen it mentioned yet.
whatever path you choose i hope youre happy with the decision.
if you go another route, does VZW still offer the test drive 14 day return period? Could alawys come back to the GS3 if youre not satisfied with your new device. or sell gs3, Or you could keep the galaxy as an MP3 player.
Once I get the new phone, I'm gonna give the old one another shot at getting repaired. Then I'll test it and sell it.
Why burn an upgrade to get the same phone you already have. Low signal reception it's a know issue for the s3, especially in comparison with Motorola products.

Should I Upgrade now or later?

So. My mom told me that she's gonna buy me a new phone before I go back go high school, which is 8/26. Now, I don't know if I should upgrade now or later. Obviously, I have T-Mobile. And I love this phone. But truth be told, its getting old. The reason why I ask, is well. Because there's just not so many options on T-Mobile right now.. 1 HTC, 2 Samsung, 2 Google/LG, 1 Nokia, and the new (to us) xperia z. So I turn to you guys, to see what you'd do. If now, what phone would you get? If later.. wait for which phone? iPhone 5C, iPhone 5S/6? New nexus phone? Cheers, guys.

First of all, if your mom is like mine I would upgrade now before she changes her mind lol. I gave that a lot of thought but honestly every phone is going to have its ups n downs so just pick one and enjoy it. If it were me, I would just go with an s4 and call it a day. Htcone is nice, but I think a plastic build comes with a lot of benefits.

I've never cared for sense. Or TouchWiz. Or any stock framework really. I always do my research and make sure there are a lot of options before I buy a phone. CyanogenMod support is a must. If CM supports it, basically everything does.
and SHAME ON YOU for even mentioning iPhone! lol jk, jk.
If it were me, I'd go with the Nexus 4 if your mom could spring it without breaking the bank (I know you mentioned LG/Google, so idk if that was an option or not). Otherwise, my choice would be the S4 or the Xperia. It'd be a tough call either way.
Get a phone with lte . I tried the exhilarates lte. It is awesome.

I also remember seeing on TmoNews about the Moto X passing through the FCC with T-Mobile written all over it. Wait a few months or so and wait for new phones to come out.

The s4 has sooo many custom ROMs your head will spin.Lol
I'm running Carbon( my favorite) and just installed wallet by Dwitherell. Plus Steve Kondik has one so you can't lose.
Oh and you'll love the camera, nice pics with fast bursts.

Whoa - I didn't know that sort of thing was being used beyond the note 2 I can't take credit for that stuff, I just put it together differently.

If you Google nexus 5 you will see that there are now very strong rumors pointing to a Motorola Google nexus being out q4 this year and it will not be a moto x gpe. If that happens I would wait for the next nexus - that will be my next phone. But if you must have a user replaceable battery and SD card slot then the sgs4 would be the phone to get.

Might not be a bad idea if your mom is still willing to buy it for you and that's the type of phone you like. Personally I'm still waiting for a Nexus 5 announcement. I'm ready for an upgrade (T-Mobile actually let me out of my Blaze contract 6 months early so I could switch to the new unlimited plan) and, if I were choosing amongst the phones available now, I'd probably get the Nexus 4. Unless I had someone buying the phone for me, if cost were not an issue I'd go the S4 Google Play edition.
