Anyone giving up their Inspire for the Infuse?

As most of you know that the Sammy Infuse will be out on the 15th. Who is giving up their Inspire for the Infuse????

I dont "pay" for Samsung products. Junk.

My opinion is sense>touchwiz by a long shot. I don't think the Infuse does enough for me as far as specs go to warrant a change.

I'm sorry, I really want to like Samsung phones again but I can't. My blood pressure can only take but so much. The HTC stays.

Why would you do that to yourself?
HTC is light years ahead of Samsung when it comes to cell phones.. I've kept my inspire STOCK as its ten times better than a hacked Samsung.

If within the 30days of original purchase, then you can do a swap out (buyers remorse period). After 30 days you need to go through the Warranty department - It is very difficult to get a swap for a different Make/model phone - especially when a phone first comes out - They usually don't have the "full kit" available for make/model swap outs..
Your other choices are to pay off contract values, or early upgrade (if they let you).

Same here. I don't think that the Captivate was a bad phone really but no way I am ever going to deal with Samsung again.

X3. Never again with Samsung phones. Advertised features were never implemented (gps), I had multiple hardware issues with multiple handsets, glacial pace of official updates that leave much to be desired upon arrival...no thanks. The only thing it has going for it is Dev support.

The captivate was enough to make me wince at the infuse, but a gs2 would be mighty nice. The sensation looks sensational, but don't know if it will include ATT's 3g bands.

[Q] Using ATT One X with T-Mobile and getting 4G - possible?

Just curious about this question - because I would really want to use this with T-Mobile.
So, a few days ago I noticed that an aquintance of mine was using an ATT Samsung Note with T-Mobile. I asked him - but you are only getting Edge (2G), right? So he says - "No! I flashed the GSM version modem, and I am getting HSPA+ (4G)", or whatever you call it.
I was shocked! Amazing solution.
Do we have this?
Thanks

Ever thought to read the other thread that's already open about this phone on T-Mobile?
We don't even have a bootloader unlocked and you're asking about flashing different radios. SMH.

Sigh. If S-Off is ever achieved then it will be possible. All you need is a similar phone with the same SoC that has a T-Mobile radio. In this case a One S radio may allow an S-Off One X to work on T-Mobile.

Hey other smart guy, you never said that but there is nothing wrong with someone asking a question. If they already made the thread they obviously haven't read any other possible threads so there is no point in not answering the question. I get people need to search but the thread is already here.
And when I say other smart guy I mean it in a respectful way because you gave a respectful response.

Is HTC just given up with their pogo on the One XL?

This phones been out for a good 3 months and there has yet to be a SINGLE HTC or non-htc branded accessories that use the pogo pins.... Have they given up on accessories for us? :banghead:

I think that is the point a lot of Americans miss. HTC has no problem with unlocked bootloaders. I have the xl from Rogers and it took about 5 minutes to unlock the bootloader through the official htc root. Don't blame htc for your bootloader being locked. That one is all on at&t.
I would prefer more manufacturers to take Google stance how carriers can have their phone.
Bootloader is unlocked and it's can't be locked to your carrier. Don't like it then don't carry our nexus phones. Once the next nexus phone is released I will be jumping ship and swimming back to nexus land.

Heh, I bought my phone off contract at Canada from At&t just to save $200 lol. It's been a pain but I got it while there was no 2.20, hell there wasn't even any root... I just remember reading about the hex editing to get super Cid and Someone bricking their phone lol.
Well anyways what does this have to do with pogos though....

My dilemma. To upgrade or not.

So I got a new att HTC one x last week for 9.99 from att. I love it! But now I'm liking the Lumia 920 and the x+ that's coming out this Friday for 200. I still have a week to exchange my phone...what should I do?
I already rooted and have cm10 running. And I'm happy other than battery life. But that's ok I always have a charger near by. I only like the true Google experience and hate the sense ui. But I did like my old wp7 phone. What should I do? Keep my one x or exchange it for the one x+? Our the Lumia 920?

If you rooted that means your unlocked... good luck returning that.

This. When they look at your boot loader and see tampered and unlocked/relocked they won't take it. Good job reading about what rooting and stuff would do to your warranty.

+1 for that haha.
I took my first one x back after 4 days to get the grey one. I had it unlocked and rooted and all they did was open the box, check for the charger, phone and USB cord. They do ask if you rooted the phone. I told him I didn't know what that meant, then he processed the return *your results may vary

lol I would love to work for a carrier... First thing I would do is load the bootloader up and check, but also boot the phone up just incase. Then if i see a custom rom, tempered/unlocked bootloader I'll just laugh and procede with the return/exchange.

Android to wp8 won't be a sweet transition so i would say that you go and get x+ if at all they happen to take it back !

Have you ever taken anything back to an att store? If it's in the first 30 days all they look at is to make sure your phone is in pristine condition and they exchange it on the spot. I'm only looking for advice whether i should trade up to the one x+ or not. I guess all everyone cares about on this forum is the at&t "warranty"

Make your mind up, choose one and live with it.

As well, there will always be something better coming out so YOU really have to know what YOU like an want and stick with it a bit.

I personally not invest any time or money in a phone OS that has a 1 to 2 % market share, such as in the base of Windows Phone (market data showing WP at just under 4% market share actually include those that are still on the old Windows Mobile platform, and have simply not updated their devices).

Galaxy Note II

I say wait till windows OS matures (maybe a generation after this one) because they don't have many important apps in their market ecosystem, currently. HTC One X is a good phone and you won't miss much except for the wireless charging plate included in the Lumia 920; uses the same processor too.
I'm deciding between the galaxy s 3 and the HTC one x atm

(Q) Coming from s2 skyrocket

Opening my own contract with AT&T. I've ALWAYS had a Samsung phone. And it recently started looking like every phone they released looked the same. I mean the s4/s3/note/note2 look exactly the same besides bigger/smaller dimensions.. Is this phone still worth getting?? Can it still hold its own. Is there more to it than I think when it comes to unlocking boot loader then flashing ROMs?? Should I just get the HTC one.. Or X+ even?? Please give me your opinion.. Thanks!

my expert advice would be to do some research.

I came over from a captivate and didn't have too many problems getting adjusted. There are loads of tutorials on what you'll need to do with root and bootloader so it's just a matter of reading and getting started. I'd honestly recommend getting a One though. I love my one X, but I can never recommend getting an older phone unless you can't afford / don't care about the newer models. I don't know about development for the One X+, but I'd take that over the One X just for the storage space.
