My contract ends on the 2nd and I've been comitted to getting the Droid X. I wasn't aware the Thunderbolt was coming out this month. I'm on a tight budget...should I roll with the X or wait for the bolt? Also...do u have to get a 4g data plan or could you just get a 3g plan on the bolt? I am not stoked on the limited dev options with the X so I'm worried.
Thanks

Get the Thunderbolt. Trust me, it will be worth the 2-3 weeks extra wait time. Better hardware, should be good build quality since it's made mostly of aluminum, and what's not to like about faster speeds? As of now there is no information on the pricing options for 4G smartphones.

That's the thing I don't want to wait and then get the shaft by having to get a 4G plan. I don't need or want it. I need to sell my Eris as well to be able to afford the bolt.

I would definitely get the Thunderbolt. I also was looking for a Droid X. My friend got an EVO and I fell in love with the 4.3" screen. Then I started reading about the locked bootloader and very limited dev options for the DX. The Thunderbolt is just going to be an all around better phone, especially if you want custom roms and kernels. I wouldn't imagine the 4G plan adding more than $10 maybe $15 to your bill.
Again, I agree with Omen. If you're looking for a decent phone with many dev capabilities, this phone isn't for you. This phone is better than that; it's top notch. Get a droid incredible instead. It just dropped to $100 with 2 year contract.

Vzw store in Walmart just said the bolt is coming on the 10th to their store for 189.99 and no additional billing for 4G whether I believe all that or not Idk but ill wait until then for sure to see if that's legit.

No information has been sent out to third party sellers about 4G data costs. I honestly don't think it's coming out February 10, because that's when the iphone for Verizon is out......
Yeah like I said I'm skeptical. Walmarts staffed by mostly morons so I'm just hoping for a miracle.

I have the X i love the Phone but it does kinda stink that about getting custom Roms, like FULL ones with the new kernals and everything. From what i have been reading on line the 4g plan is going to be 29.99 just like 3g but you know verizon can change that any time lol The thunderbolt looks amazing is it going to have a impossible boot loader like the Motorola products have?
Talked to a VZW rep yesterday about our company phones and I wanted to also move to a new phone for myself. I asked about the TB and said I didn't want to pay extra because I don't live in an 4g area. I was told that there is no extra charge for 4g.

It is highly unlikely that it will have a locked bootloader. It would be a first for HTC to do so as far as I know.

A second considering the G2 and all that mess...
I'd go with the Thunderbolt. HTC uses better camera parts than Motorola, doesn't lock their bootloaders, 4G will be nice and shouldn't cost extra. I've had the Droid X since release and it's not been that amazing. I'm suffering (as are many others) severe reboot issues due to Moto's buggy .340 kernel and since we can't change our kernel... we have to continue to deal with this maddening problem.
I'm no longer a Motorola fan. Not to mention that HTC is usually a bit faster than Motorola on getting out updates for new software... and you'll get a front-facing camera with video chat!
I don't count Samsung phones... broken GPS and horrible software updates, plus a lack of Cyanogenmod... LG phones suck, and Motorola phones are too locked down. So, I see HTC as the only real player in the game today for quality, customizable Android phones. Plus, I like their aspect ratio for their 4.3" screens... not the widescreen size Motorola uses, which is too tall and not wide enough for me.

I'm running the. 340 update and have not had one random reboot since ice update. With liberty applied and a couple of other tweaks its a great phone (DX) but it had very limited dev support because there isn't really **** you can ultimately do with a locked bootloader, it doesn't have near the support of my fascinate, and no where the support of my DInc, but with that said, at the end of the day, I use my Droid x for one reason. Battery life. I suspect the battery life on the thunderbolt wont be as good as the x, but it had great specs a great proccessor and more RAM, IT WILL BE A AWESOME PHONE. IM SO DRUNK I DONT KNOW WHAT IM SAYING! !

Don't be so harsh on the guy. I sympathize with his pain. Yes this is a development section. However, no one seems to be doing any developing. If they are, they're keeping it a big secret. All the major devs I know that are usually working on this stuff are still very obsessed with the Charge and the soon to be released Bionic. No one seems to want to step up and take DX2 on. I didn't have a choice in getting a DX2. My DX broke and this is what the insurance sent. I thought it was a great thing until I saw that no one is doing anything on it.
Yes, his post probably should go in another area. However, let's try to keep this thing like family. When I came with noob questions, people weren't chastising me. When I fell for the XOOM hype, and didn't know if I should keep it, people here shared their thoughts on the subject. That was one of the reasons I came to love XDA - they didn't judge me, but rather found ways to relate what I was going through. Even in this ROMless DX2 hell that we find ourselves in, I still love my XDA family. Let's try to help the guy and not condescend to him.
Take care and stay blessed
droid x2 oc kernels
Has anyone figured out anything on this pos Droid x2. I'm starting to get irritated this phone blows unless it gets overclocked.
Move it or close it, Mr. Clown.
Yes, I'm well aware this a development forum. I'm not by any means new. I'm rooted, supercharged with V6 and running a few different launchers to make respond quicker but with that being said, its at the end of its rope. By asking for a reason not to; I was implying for some developers to step up to the plate for a device that has potential.

Hey kizzy,
It doesn't blow it just hasn't been nurtured as much. The supercharger script helps a lot and rooted apps work, but it leaves a lot to be desired.

not going to lie, the DX2 wasnt my first choice of phones to get but because the SGS2 isnout available yet it was just the best option, and yea no dev community makes me sad
Yeah the dev community is disappointing. And they're a bit slow on the draw.
I may be looking at the Charge or Bolt before 7/7/11 to stay grandfathered.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Yeah I'm with you buddy. I'm planning on selling this for either the Thunderbolt or Bionic. I don't like the design of the Charge even though it is a great phone. Also depends on if the Bionic will have a locked bootloader. If it does, I'm going with the Thunderbolt. Hopefully Wirefly still sells it for $199 for an upgrade in August
But don't get me wrong, this is a great device. I haven't had any lag or problems, and I actually like the new MotoBlur. If there was more development on this I'd definitely keep it, but I miss flashing CM7 and other roms every night.
Question: If I have unlimited 3g now, will I still be able to get unlimited 4g come August once Verizon implements their tiered plans? I really hope so, or else I'll be using 3g for as long as I'm with Verizon.
Me too
Anyone want mine $200
Swift,
If you have unlimited data now, you're grandfathered in UNLESS or UNTIL you switch phones, plans or upgrade after 7/711. Any changes after that date will force you to take the new tiered pricing.
It may suck. I use every bit of 2gb a month if not more. $50 a month for 5gb make hurt my pocket too much. But that's a topic for another forum.

Actually, the one thing that it does keep doing is rebooting without provocation. It's gotten to be quite annoying. Every phone that I have received from Asurion does it, so I'm beginning to think this is some sort of FroYo/hardware complication. (No I have no evidence to support that theory.) Some of you have mentioned using the new supercharger script. Does it help with this rebooting problem or will I just be putting myself deeper into a hole?

Seriously? That's just plain dumb if you ask me. I don't even understand why Verizon is doing this tiered crap. This is probably why when I first asked for the Thunderbolt, the rep kept on trying to dissuade me from getting it.
This really makes me want to switch to Sprint, or even AT&T once they set up their LTE network. Whatever carrier gets the SGII is where I'm going -.-

fully stock here so far, only had it about a week, but no random reboots.
The only problem was that the first morning I set the alarm the phone was locked up and the alarm didn't go off. I had to pull the battery to get it to reset. Trouble free other than that.
maybe some of you will want to change your mind?

Getting a new phone in a few weeks and, while I love my eris and have for a while, I just want a new phone. Soo, I figured I'd ask my fellow eris owners what phone I should move on too. I was thinking either thunderbolt (it's 199.99 certified preowned) or dinc2 for 150.00. I want the charge but it's out of my budget. What do you guys think? I'd appreciate the help.
Sent from my EverVolv Eris using XDA Premium App
If you spend a lot of time in a 4G area, and you download/upload lots of data, the Thunderbolt may be best for you. If these factors are not important to you the Dinc 2 might be best.
Yeah, I'm thinking thunderbolt too. Thanks man. Thanks to all the devs here I had the best possible experience with my eris that I could imagine. Thanks especially to tazz whose roms were amazing and were the main ones that I used.

Bionic??
I am really leaning towards the Bionic. It is supposed to be out soon.
My area will have 4G by the end of the year and I can't see getting anything that isn't 4G capable. I have thought about the TB, but I am not sure I can live with the battery, the Charge is very expensive for what you get and the only other option is the LG Revolution. It is high on my list.
I am going to wait and see what happens with the Bionic over the next few weeks.

Personally, my contract is up in sept 15 and i don't plan on getting a 4g phone. I still think those phones have bugs and verizon keeps putting out updates to fix them. I will wait at least a year before i upgrade to 4g. I would probably go with incredible 2. Not sure if SGS II will be 4g or not. You could always wait for that.
Hanging on to my Eris for as long as possible.
I just upgraded from Eris to TBolt about a week ago. The plus one inch screen jump is a bit jarring but otherwise, I'm quite happy with my phone. (At least regarding development) the rom community is still pretty fractured with nothing quite as rock-solid as all the awesome Eris roms here but it's so incredibly active (I doubt it will be so for long... anxiously awaiting a CM7 update).
Anyway, phone-wise, I love my thunderbolt and the great build quality as long as the heft doesn't bother you. Battery life, the biggest complaint, is perfectly manageable and over stated. The rooting processing can be pretty intense but afterwards with a nice, new kernel it lasts a couple days no problem.

Hello, my name is Korey. I am formally known as Whosdaman or WDM. I started at the HTC Vogue and was a very prestigious developer. I then made the switch to Android with the HTC Hero. After sheer disappointment, I then decided to purchase the Samsung Epic. Again after the lack luster software updates provided by Samsung, I decided to switch manufactures again. I have no purchased my Motorola Photon 4G yet, but I am planning on doing so and publicly developing for this device.
My mentor is Kenneth Pennington which many of you may know. He is one of the top chefs on the Atrix and he and I will be working on rooting with device and hopefully unlocking it.
So tell us who you and and a little about yourselves so we can grow as a community together. We all need to stick together in order to accomplish goals as a whole. I will be providing 24/7 support for anything Sprint related. So if you need anything just let me know, for example MSL lookup.

Took it apart, tried again still wouldn't work, so down to the sprint store I go. I told them the whole story. They were great, said they could fix it, for $35. It was late, had to leave it over night. While I was there, played with the photon. I was really impressed! May see about selling the Evo, and upgrading to the Photon when I pick it up in the morning.

Saying Hello
OK, Joining the introduction thread.
Name is Tom, in Portland, Oregon. Started on HTC Hero, last phone was Samsung Epic. Not a ROM developer but regularly load the new ROMs on the phones and play with them until I get the one I like for that version, which surprisingly varies on the Epic because the ROMs don't get updated on an even schedule, not that their scheduled. Been a big fan of both ACS & Bonsia, usually using ACS ROMs.
I do have a QE background but have been moved to Database Admin.
Waiting patiently for the first root instructions to come out that work, tried the Atrix & SuperOneClick methods to no avail.

I dumped the Epic today and I'm not the proud owner of a Photon with both docks... Well... OK... my employer is the proud owner, I just get to use it. Going from the Epic to the Photon was a big step for me due to the loss of the physical keyboard but since I realized that 95%+ of the time I never used it I think I can adjust. I thought about waiting for the Within but I think I need a break from Samsung and there are things such as the docks that are more of a plus for me than the ability to record 1080 video. Glad to see you're on board over here. I'm hoping to find time to be more involved over here than I was over in Epicville.
Trying to determine if this is intros only for devs or common folks like myself. If common folks, then here goes, otherwise skip me.
Real name David, location NYC, (sounds like a dating service lol )
Call sign twospirits, as some may know me from other sites that I mod and admin in. Been a member here since 2007 but mostly in the lurking stance (as you can tell by my post count). And that's mainly because I am not a dev. I'm mainly into reading, writing and learning but having fun doing it.
Started with Sprint since 2000 on Touchpoint/LG phones non-smartphones then eventually with Winmo phones Diamond/Pro then jumped onto Android with the Hero, EVO and now Photon. Learned quite a lot but its a never ending process and the stuff that comes out of here is truly amazing. Amazed at the stuff that quite a few devs and their roms on here have produced like MikG and FreshEVO.
I agree with the OP that we can grow as a community together and need to stick together to accomplish goals. And hopefully this can be accomplished without the flaming and arguing shown elsewhere. Being that this section is brand new, maybe we can keep it flame free. I for one will be using that report button alot if it isn't.

I am struggling and have no income and even at $99 I can't afford one but my mother said she would get it for me as an early bday gift. I want this for my kids mainly because due to my financial problems I have had to pawn things for extra money part of which was our laptop and ps3. I don't need your pity and please do not flame me for posting this. I am just hoping someone will help me out so I can give something to my kids to replace things I pawned. To anyone that can help i thank you very much and if nothing else say a little prayer for me and my family. It has been tough but God will see us through. Please pm me if you can help
Thanks

I don't buy your **** for a second. Get off xda and get on craigslist. Also if your waiting on disability then get a job..... you're effing up our economy. My back hurts too. Work!

Add an annoying whining voice to this post. "Owwwwwww..... I can hardly type this and the welfare building is down the street but does anyone have a tablet my MOM can buy for me? I'm only 43"

Just my opinion, but if you can't afford $99 for a TouchPad you probably shouldn't be paying for a monthly data plan on your EVO 3D. Sorry, but just sayin'...

Heartless? Or hard working Americans paying taxes and busting their balls to make ends meet?. Then see someone sell their kids ps3 for a tablet for their own pleasure? Piss off!

Go on Ebay, you can find a Tablet, won't be a Touchpad but you can score one for $99 and there a few for less. Or craigslist....otherwise you are **** out of luck. I wanted a Touchpad too, I'm even on a list to be notified when they will have them available again but I am not counting on it so I just got one off of Ebay for $99.
Looks like you have a Evo 3D, so sell that , you can proably get $300-400 for it.

So there is no possibility he is on WiFi right? You all are pathetic. No wonder so many only come to xda when they absolutely need to.

Yeah, if you are having financial problems, you really don't need a touchpad or a phone that isn't just barebones. I mean, 99 dollars can buy a lot of food. If you can afford the phone and touchpad, you must not be hurting that much.

This is exactly what went through my head. It's not about not feeling bad for someone during a hard time, but pawning off your stuff for money, while still paying a $105/month phone bill just seems ridiculous. When I was without a job, I didnt have a phone, or I used a virgin mobile phone with "top up cards". I can't fathom helping someone, when it appears that they're unwilling to help themselves...especially with kids
Man up and get your priorities straight. Good luck with the job hunt

Thinking you should re read the op cause his mom said she would buy it therefore making your statement false.
I am a loving father and husband but I would sell off all luxury items to pay anything needed I don't care if its their ps3. I didn't have that growing up and they can do without to gets us through a rough patch. He said he wanted it to replace those items for the kids. Why do you all go out of you Damn way to flame a guy you don't even know. Why are you so quick to judge? I am a honest hard working American myself but if I needed to go on disability guess what I would do it and you know why because I am a honest hard working American. I can't believe what xda has become. If you question someone's integrity move on to the next thread where I'm sure you all will find something else to give someone crap about.

Derekfaircloth ..... don't post again on xda. Our phones and tablets are luxuries .... and in this point of your life, you only have needs. Put bread on the table... then worry about tablets! You sold your kids ps3?

You know whether or not his service is cut off for not paying the bill? Do you actually know what's going on in this man's life? If you went through some **** and came here posted this whole heartedly would you want to be treated like this by people assuming when in reality they know nothing about your situation

You may be a slow DADDY. Yes disability is good DADDY.... but toys that you don't need aren't good in a time of crisis. Especially when you sold your kids toys to pay for a back or headache ..... don't know if that's what op did????? Just saying.... stop selling your kids toys to get yours!

If his situation has been so bad over the past year or even only a few months, that he is selling off his and his kids things (reguardless of wanting to attempt to replace them or not) then why buy one of the most expensive phones on the market? I too work (60 hours a week) very hard at my job to provide the life that my family deserves. But if I wasn't capable, I sure as hell wouldn't be looking for sympathy/handouts in regards to one of the most sought after items in recent history.
I'm not trying to judge anyone, nor do I know his situation specifically, however, life is tough, you've got to work for what you got. I never said he wasn't truly injured, or abusing the system, or any of that nature, but simply stating that priorities need to be evaluated here, clearly.
You can act high and mighty, and judge me about not caring about, or having sympathy to this particular person, nor people in general, and you'd probably be right. What I've got, I made happen. The things I own, I bought myself. The place I am in life, good or bad, I put myself here. I've had nothing handed to me. I've lived in the streets, I've been poor, but guess what, I got my **** together and got to where I am today. You and this guy can go elsewhere, this is a cell phone discussion board, not a damn soup kitchen
