Close but the Nexus has a higher resolution (720p), a super fast camera (0 shutter lag), removable battery, is unlockable, comes with stock android (no blur and no bloat), gets updated more often than the RAZR will, will get more dev attention than the RAZR, etc.

They are both dual 1.2ghz with a gig of ram, both cameras record 1080p video, etc, etc. so yeah pretty close.

Nexus has a 5mp camera instead of an 8mp but that doesn't matter. The Nexus camera should actually be nicer.

Did an equip swap and just had to order batteries. VZw will find a way to stick it to you any way they can, they wanted $39.99 a battery x2 and also battery doors. I got the doors from them for $3 ea. however I said FTS to the batteries and went online and I just ordered 2 brand new ones from Amazon for an astounding $11.34 :)

Don't like the Incipio :sofa:

I had a commuter on my D1 and it was really nice but bulky. I think TPUs are the perfect balance between being low profile but still protective. Plus they are only like $8 shipped on eBay.

But if you don't mind making your nice sexy thin DX fatter then a commuter is a nice case.

So, as everything turns out, it cost me $17 for 2 Dxs. I had to buy the back door which was on sale for $3-, then batteries which I scored on Amazon for $5.34 ea opposed to $39.99 thru VZw, and they shipped this morning. Then lady tells me shipping for 2 day is free instead of paying $12.99 for next day, I'll take that. Then she tells me I have a $50- credit and a $30- credit on my next phone purchase if I renew my contract in Nov next year instead of doing early upgrade in July next year, sure I'll wait. The phone call may have been an hour and a half but it was worth the time I guess :roflshrug:

$17 shipped for two DXs sounds like win (even if sending the old Fascies back)

And the extra $50/$30 is definitely win.

Cam and MBP: The dev who ports MIUI to the X just got 720p video recording to work. I think it is now the only 2nd Init rom to do so. BAMF imo.

Here's one for you geniuses. There's 2 people that don't receive ANY of my texts. Just started with one on the 15th, she has a Galaxy phone through Sprint. The other started about a month ago. He's got a old school flip with Verizon.

Everyone else gets my texts fine. I can't figure it out. I've deleted all my messages, cleared all my caches, and flashed back to the stock messaging.apk.

Lmao. Yeah. All I have is their mobile. But of course it's in the contact info twice because it's synced with Facebook. The 10 digit numbers are the same though but there might be a format of +1(xxx)xxx-xxxx on the ones that imported from Facebook rather than (xxx)xxx-xxxx on the ones I entered.

Right now it's fully functional and the battery issues have been sorted out. It's about the same as TW-based stuff now.

Most of the devs have switched to AOSP stuff. There's the CM nightlies, one dev has a Vanilla GB rom and another has the AOSP version of ComRom basically. Then there's MIUI. Still lots of development going on, just not with TW stuff.

MIUI(only 1.9.16 is stable): http://rootzwiki.com/topic/903-rom-miui-fascinatemtd-1916/

There's a group of guys that ported their kernel over to the Fascinate as well, for use with the AOSP stuff. O/C up to 1.7GHz, Voodoo Color, etc. Really makes the screen pop with AOSP roms.

Glitch Kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1252871


The biggest problem is there's so much nonsense on the forums it's hard to decipher what's going on. You have to go about things differently on the AOSP/MTD roms than you did with TouchWiz stuff. The biggest two being you can ONLY access recovery via the reboot/recovery option in the CM/MIUI shutdown menu, and once you're on an MTD based rom you have to ODIN back to stock in order to use TouchWiz based stuff since the filesystem in converted. No big deal though.

Yea, I know. It's a damn shame these phones are handicapped so bad by Verizon, and then the community is made up of a bunch of shitheads who make it almost impossible to learn how to do stuff correctly, and generally make any Android forums dealing with the Fascinate a PITA.

Yea, might want to wipe data and reflash. Since the entire filesystem is converted you can't restore data without problems. Odin the EC09 radio if you're having call issues. It came from the original gingerbread leak and works best with AOSP.

Try MyBackup. It should be free in the market. You can tell it to backup apps, their data, SMS, etc and then restore them to the new phone.

I can remember but restoring some of that will require root I think. :chin:

revolution might be more stable than TB i guess and the TB is too old to get a free replacement like a Bionic or something.

JayBo
10-31-2011, 03:27 AM
the specs and retail price of bionic and TB is only like $40 at most. I'm going to ask them what my options are when they call back tomorrow. thats what rep at the store told me to try and trade for. A Bionic. The Rev isn't a bad phone I don't think... I dunno

10-31-2011, 03:32 AM
So your only choice is the Revolution?

The reviews of Revolution weren't that great. You should at least try to see if they can give you a Bionic. I think even a little bit of money, e.g. <$50 or less, would be worth it. At least in my opinion.

Gary - you get DXs up and running?

It will save apps but not their data. So all it really does is save you the time it would take to go into the market and download them all again.

Don't believe it will back any of that up. Without being rooted, SMS is about all your could backup via a 3rd party messaging app.

In regards to the DInc 2, my dad has his and barely gets to 3pm in the day. Thats a given though considering its an htc, and pretty much all htc have battery life problems.

WELL NOW they are having problems becasue they deactivated the SIM card in my TB Saturday to activate this Droid pro I'm using right now. So now I have to go back to the store, get a new SIM card, and they will call and activate it temporarily to process the order for the replacement phone, then reactivate the pro so I can use it until my damn phone comes in.

While I'm at the store, I'm going to push for a bionic since they are the ones that suggested it to me. They said the ONLY phone I can get is the revo b/c it was the only other 4g phone offered that was comparable to the TB at time of purchase. if I downgrade to 3g, I'll never be able to get another 4g phone as a replacement.

I bet I know what happened. Sometimes when you first start up a phone and log in, the google sync will sync all your previously installed apps as well as your contacts and shit all at once. It has locked up my phone before. Sometimes leaving it sit will give it time to catch up but FTS I just pull the batt and install everything myself.

If you made a backup on the sammy with MyBackup then you might as well restore it on the X. It will save you some time.

Honestly you don't need a keyboard. They make the phone thicker, heavier, and most people end up never using them, that's why most phones don't have them.

If you absolutely must have a keyboard then the D3 will be great. But if you can live without it then the best new non-4g phones on vzw are the DX2 and Inc2. Inc2 is more haxxable, DX2 has a bigger screen and probably better battery life and build quality.

Its already been discussed with him, and planning on rooting/romming/kerneling the DInc2 over Thanksgiving or semester break.

I just have to read the guides to do it, and download the programs like you previously posted for rooting the device.

What was the best rom and kernels?
