im not sayin that flashing roms isnt a big part of the xda community but with all the upgrades to the evo 3d i think just being able to use the wireless thether app for free tethering would be good enough for me. Dose anyone else feel like this or do you want full ROOT

I hate to say it, but I kind of have to agree with both of you lol
yeah, it would probablybe fine for about 4- 6 months or so...but then when a new os version came out say like ice cream and you are still on GB and cant do anything about it...then it would get annoying

I could care less about that, af least if you you want to tether bad enough you could still pay for it. Its the ROMs and kernels that I want!

When I first left from my Palm Pre, all I cared about was still being able to wireless tether on the road... A few months later, I viewed the forums, and seen leaks of froyo months before HTC put out an official update.... Ever since then I've been a flash-o-holic. I didn't know how open the Android platform was until I had all these options of different builds...... lets not forget the FPS cap that HTC said was because of the hdmi port, that was fix thanks to the community.

So let me get this straight, you don't care at all about HTC unlocking devices to make them open and customizable, you just want them to assist you in being a thief to steal a $30 service from Sprint. Got it!

many of us feel tethering should be included in your data plan. Even with an unlocked bootloader they can still stop tethering, look at at&t. as i posted before, its all about the roms and kernels for me. tether is just a nice bonus. over the past year i've only used it once.

Not to start a war, but it really doesn't matter how you feel. They offer a pay service, and you are using it for free. I feel Ford Mustangs should be free, that doesn't mean I can drive one off the lot without paying for it.
Frankly, Its more important to me that I'm able to remove bloatware from my phone than anything else... but to get deeper into it, carrier updates or not, custom ROMS tend to give a new tech fix making me not have to dish out hundreds of dollars every few months.

agreed...i have had an evo for a little bit over a year, had many roms. I was using the same rom for a few months and just switched over to a new one and i feel like I am going to miss my evo when i get the 3d because it feels brand new

I dont feel as if its stealing. Hell i tethered from my treo and blackberry for free. When the evo was 1st being marketed they highlighted the fact it could be used as a mobile hotspot but failed to tell you they were now gona start charging a monthly fee. Fee? For what? You pay monthly to have web access on your phone. Whats it hurting to allow you to hook a laptop or gaming system to your phone. And it seems they only do this to 4g phones. Well i live in baltimore the 1st city they did the wimax with and let me say im sittin at the inner harbor right now and well my friend with his new tmobile sidekick has 4g and my friend with his verizon phone has 4g but guess who dosent. The guy with the evo. Me! Sprint can shove that 4g up there ass. I understand how important flashing rom is im not even gona be stupid enough to debate that on the xda forum. I was just simply askin if the upgrades alone were enough to make you look past flashing rom

Why do you doubt that? thousands of people have had them for well over a year. Hundreds of those got to ebay before this date last year.

Yeah...as you get older you notice that time flies, then it flies faster, then faster. When you were 1 year old the next year was 50% of your life. When you are 29 the next year is a 30th of your life. Our perception doesn't seem to keep up as well as it should...sigh
anyway, bring on the evo3d.
free tethering is something I'm really looking forward too
Stop tethering you thieves...

Wow, great example. Because I'm using my unlimited data plan in a way that gives me the same access to the same network but on my computer, I'm driving away a new Ford for free. The scale is different, the content is different, and the point is missed completely.
Look, people aren't "supposed" to mod their engines to accept different mixes of gasoline, but they do anyway. In so doing, they run the risk of damaging their car... but also others on the road when they crash. Rooting threatens only the rooter (and in fact likely makes the company money when the customer has to buy a new one, while the old one can simply be factory-wiped and reconditioned). Using your internet as unlimited, not tiered, throttled, or restricted nonsense (according to their very own commercials, btw), you're doing what you really "should" have every right to do.
But only to hold me over until the SGS2 comes from Sprint.
I need a new toy to play with and the Epic on any software bothers me with its problems.
Is this MoPho noticeably quicker than the Epic? I played with store demo for a bit
but still not enough time and thorough to make this judgement for myself =]

Well, I came from the Epic. I thought it was a great phone, but I really love the photon! Blur can be a little laggy going from screen to screen. Use launcher pro and it flies. Mine is unlocked, rooted, and has Alien rom on it, and it's just stupid fast and smooth. Once source is released and we have custom kernels, it will be even better. Battery life has been great for me. Some people have had problems as with any new phone, a fix is to be released soon. I however have not had any of these problems. I also have the dock which is like having another computer. All in all it comes down to personal choice. What works for one does not work for all.
ok cool thanks for the reply. The one at the store was lagging a lil from side scrolling the screens.
ALSO being very new at the phone, In 5 mins of touching the phone I figured out how to page jump by swiping up on the launcher pulls up the seven screens like pinching in does on the epic and htc. Whereas reviews claimed there was no way to bring up the screens in any way.
only thing that bothers me is the screen. i dont think I could get used to that.
there was similar effect going to epic from evo, seeing the pixels. But the Photon is way noticeable on pretty much anything. But then again its just a temporary toy
I came from a Vibrant which is the Tmo galaxy S.
(well, ok, so I had a evo 4g and a evo 3d between....but the Vibrant made those BOTH look like a POS)
I had custom kernel (overstock) and a very nice ROM on the Vibrant (don't recall which).
It was very fast, stupid fast. This Photon keeps up with it and I have had no real problems that I can really think of.
I honestly do not see the MoPhos screen as being lesser than the super AMOled....I seriously do not see any noticable difference.
I also got tired of waiting for the SGS2.
I am getting the photon today as well, actually its already at my house in a box waiting for me to get off work and play with it.
I'm coming from an EVO - i'm overdue for an upgrade

Although I like living in CA because of the weather, it also means I have to wait a few days more every time I order a new phone from Sprint.

If you really miss Sense, check out some of the other launchers on the Market like ADW, Launcher Pro, or Go Launcher EX <- my favorite. Many of them have widgets that are very similar to HTC's Sense. If the Sense clock is the thing that does it for you, there are also tons of widgets that replicate that too.
just got a photon and i need to tether free without doc is it possible yet? im not positive im keeping it and tethering is deal breaker but i got photon free as exchange for one of my broke epics.

What would you do with your Aria once you decide to get the next big one! (since your 2yr renewal is up)
I personally think someone should develope a Game ROM for the Aria, you know make it into a Sega Genesis or SNES port of some kind!
.
I'll give it to my sis, she inherits all my old (and not so old) technology
And could be soon, right now I have the SGS2 on my sight...
Debating that very question myself right now. Just got my Thrill today. Probably turn the Aria into a dedicated mp3 player/wifi device...that or sell it.

Yeah not much going on for it yet. A couple of slightly tweaked/themed stock roms. I hope kernel.org comes back up soon so some real development can get going. A good thing is no locked bootloaders or anything to discourage development.

No clue. I still have another year on my contract. Definitely something with a bit bigger screen though.
1. Backpack GPS route recording (while bicycling)
2. WiFi packet whoring
I've moved on from my beloved Aria long ago, but she still still puts in work occasionally as a dedicated audio player and back up phone for my girl mostly since she's extremely bad with phones.
Someone stole her iP3G so I bought her an iP4. Someone stole her iP4 so I gave her the Aria. She broke the digitizer, so I gave her My Pre+. She dropped the Pre+ into a glass of wine (don't ask...) so I gave her back the fixed Aria. She destroyed the Digi yet again, so for the time being she's using an Xperia X10a I got her. Lets see how long this one will last........
So far so good. She wants to use her upgrade on the iP5 when it eventually comes out. x_X
Here's hoping I can can get the X10 back in one piece...

So what do you guys think of the photon you happy with it? Been thinking at some point about tryin the phone out in the near future.. I know the layout isn't like sense like the Evo or Evo 3D.. Always been curious about the photon.. I noticed the dev support isn't poppin like the other bunch of phones that are out.
Would be nice to see more roms out for it
I'm more than happy with it. It's an awesome phone. We may not have as many roms as some phones, but the ones we do have are quality, and our devs are awesome. I had an evo and a nexus s before this and have used my husband's galaxy s2, and the photon is hands down my favorite.

Coming from my old Hero, this thing is amazing in every way, and I still feel like with all the patchwork ICS roms that we're just scratching the surface.
My only complaint is the size of the phone. Don't get me wrong, having this big of a display is more than a fair trade off, but I'm a big guy with hands big enough to palm a basketball, and it takes a lot of effort on my part to go from the bottom right corner to the top left corner with my thumb without readjusting my grip on the phone.

My personal experience has been less than satisfying.
It's a horrible phone to root and unlock. When i first tried to root and unlock it (coming from a HTC Arrive running Mango, and a CM7 EVO 4G before that) it was such an undertaking.
Ended up breaking the radio.
Just flashed my phone again today, and the radio's are dead. As a 17 year old male, my connection to the news, friends, and internet is now dead. Bring on the withdrawls..
two different phone, the same problem...

I made it blue the rest of the rom is themed just didn't throw all the pics in lol.
The statusbar is colored blue with a background I added to it..
I can make it transparent but didn't want to at the time... Same for the rosie at the bottom it's semi trans parent..
Statusbar looks great clear just the problem is some backgrounds can make the text hard to see unless you change the text color..
I always liked the look of the photon layout . Is the stock rom always white at the bottom or can you change that look on it? Never seen anyone ask that before..
One thing I can do for everyone is make custom wallpaper
Easily the best device I've owned.

dood, phone has been discontinued by tmo, it's not got much life in it. I just happens to be one of the 2 soon to be 3 available hspa+ 42mbps devices! once the s drops you can expect more price drops on the Amaze.
The phone may be going EOL but it's probably their best phone and is still comparable to the new One S. Also those ads are completely one sided, note that they are using an iPhone for Sprint which is only a 3G phone. I used to be on Sprint before switching to T-Mobile and their 4G service was decently quick... if you could get it.

My friend up here has an EVO3D and never switches 4G ON. I asked him why and he said "by the time it even connects or finds 4G signal, the web pages could already have been loaded on 3G"
Don't know how accurate that is but Idk why it would take so long to connect.

That would only be the case if you switch it on to check one page then shut it back off again. It does take about 30 seconds or so to connect to 4g, much like it does to connect to WiFi. Personally that sounds like a dumb excuse to not use 4g. We don't have 4g here but if we did, I'd likely leave it on all the time since my phone is near a charger all day anyways.
Shame the amaze is end of the line I actually want to go back to it. The galaxy s 2 with ICS is nice, but for me I really enjoyed messing with the amazes camera and thought sense was really cool.

i think once the price drops more development will pick up. personally i would never pay $400 for this phone, especially not now lol. gsii with ics sounds nice
The Black Amaze is not EOL. Only the white version is. I personally would choose this device over the ONE S anyday.

It is nice even tho its a leak for the at&t skyrocket the awesome devs have got it working pretty perfectly for the T-Mobile s2. Ics just has subtle changes that really polish the way android works and steps performance up real well. I really like sense tho I use to have the sensation then the amaze, ended up selling the amaze but wish I would have kept it n just sold the s2 instead.

You not down with padphone no more?
I really want to check that thing out.
A, I like that its not made by samsung or htc and ....well the obvious its made by Asus.... Hopefully it doesn't become the phailphone....
Unless I sell this I'm going to wait for s-off and ics.
Once ics comes to the amaze, its gonna make or break this phone, sorry to say.
Im really hoping ics will relly unleash the beast I know this phone is capable of.

I am very interested in it, Asus is one of my favorite companys specially for gaming, i love their ROG series. i have the Asus G74 laptop right now and plan on getting the Asus Tytan.
Note that its never good to get any phone when its just released. i wait a few months for all the problems (if it has any) to be fixed and development to start and prices to drop. while the samsung galaxy ii already been out for quite a while.
according to this site it wont be too much more than the one s: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Asus...mer-Pad-300-Get-Priced-in-Europe-264743.shtml
only $15 more for just the phone. i will wait till the price is around $400 on ebay then ill buy it in a heartbeat
edit: look at their website now. they updated the information about it. http://www.asus.com/Mobile/PadFone/ you can get 102 hours of battery from padfone (the phone), the station (tablet), and the station dock (keyboard). they all use the hardware of the padfone (cpu/gpu/ram/camera), but they all have their own battery. also its all one data package (from the phone). this is going to get huge IMO.
the camera should be better than the amaze as well, has the same aperture, but a better lense made my asus.
