If you switch your phone for other..which one? - Fascinate General

Guys im wondering ... if you could get rid of your fascinate for a different model which would it be? Doesnt have to be Android. Just wondering cause I think im done with android and fascinates underacheiving. The applications just arent there yet.
Ofcourse since im on verizin there are no other choices but come xmas/new years im certain there will be.

We're all on Verizon, and like you say there is not another choice. Why do you keep posting this kind of stuff? Need attention?

If I HAD to get a different phone, the only viable option would be the Droid X.

I would LOOVVEE me some windows phone action. They are breaking down so many barriers. You're right android sucks. I am so sick of having choices and options. I long for the day that I get to stare at a lackluster ui and colored blocks. And don't get me wrong I love the fascinate and does everything I want it to do. Being stuck with that metro ui interface and waiting and hoping for some apps to be developed does have a certain attraction.
good day.

I sincerely hope you switch to the Iphone so you can make use of Grindr (not yet supported on android, and probably the inspiration for his applications gripe) as much as you want and stop making these retarded posts.

I want a unicorn phone that can recharge off of rainbows.
Seriously, it'll take at least two cores, a front facing camera, 4G, simultaneous calls and data, and native 1080p for me to even consider replacing my phone. I'd even be willing to settle for gingerbread. They can slog it down with all the bloatware and awkward file systems they want, as long as it roots. IOS has a rich app base, but it just feels suffocating for me to use it. I think this community is spectacular, disregarding the occasional burst of irrelevant or misplaced threads. I'm a first time smartphone user though, so I guess I don't know what I'm missing.
Swyped from my i500.04 (bh &1129) using XDA App

the only phone i would switch for would be an evo. other than that i'd wait till the spring/summer to see whats out

Lol im just Venting. I get bored with tech easily. The wait for fascinates update.... Killer!! I posted a few weeks ago that Madden was coming for android....Nfl season is almost over and nothing haha.
Themes for Android just arent my thing. No devs makin apps and its androids fault in not implementing solid DRM protection. Just Sad!
i was gonna go windows mobile 7 cause i love the UI but the browser stinks. I might get pulled into a Iphone if it ever comes to Verizon.

Nobody's making Android apps? Have you looked at the Market recently? If you think that's "nothing", then you really aren't looking at things realistically.

We're going to miss you marty from posting in these forums. The quantity of irrelevant threads, the inability to read forum rules, and the constant requests for irrelevant themes are some of the things that we are going to miss out of you. We are going to miss you so very much.
How about switching to the palm pre? I hear their ui is sweet like sense.

So, as we've been telling you for a while, sell it on Craigslist or something and go get an iPhone. Seriously. Your trolling is annoying. We get it. You do not like the phone or Android. So STFU about it. I wish the mods would ban you so that your useless troll threads would stop cluttering up these boards. You could have just posted the first two sentences and had a good, although off topic, thread. But no. You just had to troll some more.

Nexus 2... duh

Guys have you noticed yet you have become exactly like iphone fan boys..... your the trolls.
without 2.2 there are no real roms available. only rips and themes.... wtf is there to talk about. themes and rips??? please get a grip people. if u dont like it dont post.

Marty,
Please find a different forum to go spamming and pissing other people off in. xda is a forum for developers and modders. It's not for people to sit around and complain about their phone, request crap that doesn't exist, and or ask for themes that no one wants to develop for this phone.
I'm pretty sure I'm speaking for everyone when I say that you are a nuisance to these forums.
Thanks,
Matt.

crap like this belongs in xda/general or offtopic.
good day.

it was suppossed to be in general Chopper even got a pm saying it was moved for me..... oh well just close the thread please.
i was just curious about peoples thought.

dissapointed with fascinate

I am honestly dissapointed with my Fascinate, I bought it because I thought it was going to be very costumizable, with the open loader and all that, the reality is that most devs are not even putting attention to this phone, only a handfull are, I have had it since the first day that came out, and development for this phone is going really really slow, and full of issues.
Relax bro, all good things will come. I was able to mod my phone a lot because these devs are putting all they can into our phone's development.
We already have lag fixes, OC kernels, debloating tutorials, backlight mods, standard unlocking screens, etcetc. Not to mention plenty of themes, apps, and other cool things.
Just relax and take a breather. We got froyo on the way and developers are waiting for that so they can really unleash the beast.

WTF do you need that wasn't described in Post #2?
Don't say Froyo, because that's something EVERYONE wants. My phone does everything I want it to at a blazing speed, maybe you're just lazy and don't look into things deeper. IDK.

Actually, there are devs but they don't have the froyo kernal to work with. SGS international version has the kernal leaked, that's why they have the froyo-beta-ish roms.

Having come from an N1, which is inarguably the most dev friendly Android phone to date, I have to whole heartedly disagree with the OP. It is a little aggravating dealing with Voodoo now and then, and the processes are a little different, but all in all this phone is fantastic.
I have a custom bare-bone type rom built, fully themed and customized to my hearts content. Four installed launchers that each have a completely different style and feel which I can switch at will. OC Voodoo lag and color fix kernel running on interactive thanks to Jt, and plenty of mix and match mods and hacks to keep me flashing back and forth so frequently no one can actually call me.
We do only have a handful of devs working on the fascinate currently. They happen to also be pretty damn awesome, and give us plenty to work and play with.
I have to re-ask the question, what the hell are you actually looking to do that you can't?

How come everyone who has a bad experience, or is disapointed with there device gets called a troll? Isnt this the purpose of the Forums....to speak your opinion, learn a few things and see if anyone feels the same way?
I remember when everyone ...well people still do make fun of apple fan boyz because thats all they love is apple....but i have the feeling android fanz are becoming the same thing....close minded and haterz!!!
The purpose of android was openess and freedom....so wake up people the trolls are not those who complain about a priduct they paid good $$$$ money fir but are disapointed... the trolls are the haterz and people who beleive that there the best and there way is the only way!!!
Generally because you can sum up their complaints to a) why aren't devs giving me what I want now b) I have had my phone a month, understand very little but need to complain, or c) this phone sucks, I had my g1 for a year and we had tons of mods, dev r teh lazy.
So yeah, trolls.
If they were here to learn... The complaints wouldn't be their posting topics, they would be off learning. They are here to feed off others works and complain.

I gotta disagree with you, the thread is posted in the general section. If hes disapointed with the phone. I think its good if he tells us why. Im disapointed not because of support with the phone but because alot of stuff out the box doesnt work as advertised.....gps lag etc............and yes there are lag fixes but i paid top $$$ for it to work out the box not for me to go find a fix.
either way i think the word troll is used to freely.

I agree with you about the general section & out of the box comment. Its just that there are many other threads with the same topic. But he has the right to post this question, and I was merely asking what was wrong with the phone according to him. Out of the box, the phone is still very capable and it honestly doesnt need to be modded. But the mods are very nice.
Also what phone is perfect stock? There's always cons, and that's why we're on the forums looking for answers.

Exactly if there was any phone close to perfect for me out would be this. The iPhone is totally out of the picture.

Is everyone that owns this phone a whiney bish?

Seems to me every post on here lately is just people whining about what they don't have...
I use my phone daily, and get a lot of use out of it.. I obviously am not as obsessed as many of the whinners, but I guess it gives them something to do.
Why don't all the folks whinning about not having 2.2 just start a thread *****ing about not having gingerbread..
. . . . This concludes another useless thread that doesn't not further the use of an Epic in anyway.. Please move along!!

F*** off. Don't come on this forum if you dont like it.
The point is that this is one of Sprint's "top of the line" phones. Why don't I have the bells and whistles that the comperable Evo has? I paid a premium to have this device and all the features its capable of. I'd like to be able to enjoy those highlights.
On a side note if Samsung/Sprint did a little bit better job of keeping everyone in the loop on where they were with updates it wouldn't be such a big deal. I don't need specifics but a ballpark timeline would be nice. It's all about managing people's expectations.

I still love this phone and have since launch. I'd rather have timely updates like the rest of us, but either way I think this phone is bad ass. I let everyone else QQ And just sit here and listen.

Hopefully fix gps / keyboard issues. My gps locked like a glove on DK28 and closer than I have ever seen on DI18. I enjoyed the new style of text messaging too. Its all about user expierience. Flash would be nice too.
I ran the leaked DK28 build for awhile and enjoyed it quite a bit but it obviously wasn't finished. I'd like to give the finished product a run.
Im in no hurry for froyo til mobile ap starts working on it, wireless tether sucks ass in comoarison, also my gps works great on d118 the only thing froyo will bring me is flash and apps2sd which apps2sd is not even a big deal for me im nit running out of space or anything and my phone does everything I want my phone todo. I dont care if froyo officially doesnt come out til january 2012.

The main thing I want it on my wife's Epic is for C2DM or cloud to device messaging for third party apps. I'd like it so that apps can use less battery power that do notifications among other things.
Also the JIT's kinda nice too..
I haven't done any complaining about it on the forum but one would think one of the best/most expensive android phones on the market would come with the latest version of Android. Anyway personally I went back to running 2.1 with Phoenix/Syndicate Rom after trying a whole slew of 2.2 ROMs. I'll just wait around for the official Froyo and try not to think about it....

Evo haters out and about

Just wanted to say that since xda added iPhone (lol) to its list of phones there sure has been an outbreak of trolls!
I just wonder why ppl are complaining about a phone they hate but continue to use. We all know battery life sucks (things are looking up ) and yea it lags sometimes but seriously I am baffled by all the hating. I for one love my phone and have had my problems with it but with development changing all the time there is always a dev willing to fix your problem.
I only wanted to share my love for the Evo so ppl can share there love also... lmao...

1) Battery life doesn't suck, if you tweak the phone. Which, logically, doesn't mean that it sucks if you don't.
2) My Evo seems to be doing everything above 40fps. Can't really say that it's lagging.

I also think it has to do with the lack of moderating on these forums.
Clear and obvious trolls [I can name two names right now but won't] should be banned.
But here they aren't.
Pretty much you have to spam the report button to get any kind of response from the moderating crew.
And then you run the risk of your own ban for "bothering" them.

It's pretty simple. I own a EVO because I wanted a Android phone to take advantage of Google Voice which I use as a business line. It's a good phone, but as good as the EVO is, it isn't perfect. I personally don't start threads criticizing the EVO (because it simply doesn't make sense to here) but if the discussion comes up and people start responding about how the EVO is crystal clear perfect, I speak up. If you were expecting a forum where EVO users just high five'n themselves in ignorant bliss well then just ignore posts like that.
I personally don't see a problem with criticism if it's done tastefully (i.e. with specifics and not general blanketing statements like "OMGZ the EVO/iPhone sucks!"). And it goes both ways anyway - you can't go to any Android site and read about other phones without some (and funny enough EVO users are by freaking far biggest culprits) idiots yelling "SO WHAT!! MY PHONE IS THE BEST!!!" You've got the same people here.
Bottom line this is a General forum about the EVO, and anything about should go. Trolls are trolls and generally say idiotic things that should just be ignored; but don't be surprised when vocal people like me to speak up when a complete EVO fanboy goes into fantasy land.

Any issue/rant thread on this site will somehow grab the attention of the OP and is followed by a defensive comment.

I also think it has to do with the lack of moderating on these forums.
Clear and obvious trolls [I can name two names right now but won't] should be banned.
But here they aren't.
Pretty much you have to spam the report button to get any kind of response from the moderating crew.
And then you run the risk of your own ban for "bothering" them.

I assume this is from the other thread? What did they tell you? The lack of moderation here is kind of ridiculous
almost all the evo users i know love the phone. it's also praised very highly online. as a matter a fact many of the users and devs at precentral just bought evo's to replace their palm pre's.
as far as the iphone, it's a great phone but hardly what id call a smartphone. im willing to bet $$ though that alot of users will be switching to one once the cdma version hits though.

Just wanted to say that since xda added iPhone (lol) to its list of phones there sure has been an outbreak of trolls!
I just wonder why ppl are complaining about a phone they hate but continue to use. We all know battery life sucks (things are looking up ) and yea it lags sometimes but seriously I am baffled by all the hating. I for one love my phone and have had my problems with it but with development changing all the time there is always a dev willing to fix your problem.
I only wanted to share my love for the Evo so ppl can share there love also... lmao...

No true multitasking, being locked out of installing anything not found in apple's market (without jail breaking), these two alone make it seem pretty dumbphone-ish to me.

Smartphones and Non Smartphone people

Is it just me or does it make you mad when you see someone with a $500 Smartphone and just use it for things like Facebook. I know this guy who has a Captivate and only uses it for facebook and nothing else. I asked him to look at his phone and he hadn't even updated the software to 2.2. Wth!!! He was like oh its no big deal. Another girl I know has the Mytouch 4g and has no clue what her phone can do cause its all about facebook. Rrrrrrr that just makes me so mad to see a awesome piece of technology go to waste just cause they want to look cool with a Smartphone. I have a Vibrant and I have Bionix with all of these other add one like 5 signal bar and the 3g icon instead of the H. Its made my phone killer. Its fast as hell and is a million times better then any stock phone. Team Whiskey is the the most amazing Dev. Team. I use my phone for everything from music to road directions and internet and of course facebook. Like most of us on xda we use its full potential. Does anyone agree or am I just looking into this to far??

It doesn't make me mad, in fact it makes me happy. Those are the type of people who call all android phones "droids" because of the commercials. They follow the trend and its what's cool right now. As long as they're happy with their phone and they keep buying its good for the rest of us because the manufacturers and the service providers get their money, and bringing us better phones and software.
No you are on the mark. And it's the masses that don't care about updates and make it hard for those of us who want the latest release on our handsets to have our voices heard. Which is why samsuck will continue making billions and ignore customer support...

I think you're just getting riled up over stuff that shouldn't really concern you. I have a lot of friends like that--they have iPhones and Android phones and barely exploit the potential. But so what? They're getting what they want out of the phone. And they're building up the smartphone userbase, which benefits us all.
As for not updating, why should they if the phone does everything they want already? Not everyone is interested in tinkering with their phones.
For example, my wife has an OG Droid and I don't think she's even changed the wallpaper or downloaded more than five apps. And so? She probably uses her phone for real work more than anyone else I know. She's probably on the phone 4-5 hrs a day and sends/receives hundreds of emails. The Droid works perfectly for her, so why should she care to mess with it? The phone itself just does not interest her.

This is very true.
The world is full of simpletons and absent minded people who are incapable of doing any critical thinking that are just waiting for someone to make decisions for them and lead them around by the nose. It's frustrating in other, more important aspects of life...in the smartphone department though not so much.

You forget not all people are technical. They buy phones for phone calls. Just because someone uses there phone for facebook and phone calls doesn't mean they are wasting a phone. They paid for it so let them do what ever they want. If they want to mod it then they will learn how to. To each their own.
Just because a smartphone can do anything doesn't mean its users necessarily use it for everything.

Heh, I really think it's just us at XDA for the most part. Just remember that everyone has different obsessions.
My wife thinks it's crazy that I would spend $500 on a phone or $2000 on a laptop, but then again I don't understand how she can drop $300 on a purse (and I can imagine this kind of thread among handbag enthusiasts: ("OMG, how can some women carry such cheap-ass knock-offs. Don't they know? Don't they care?").
Last example, my friend has some cheap Honda that he bought for commuting. He doesn't care about cars at all, but he's had multiple guys ask him what mods he's done. I'm sure that to these guys in the rice-burner community, my friend is some luddite dumbass because he hasn't installed some mods that would boost his car's performance. But again, he just doesn't care about turning his Honda into a street-racing machine.
It's their money, their loss if they don't want to learn.......most people are so lame when it comes to techie things it scares me, At work I have people asking me to fix their computers (I'm not I.T.) I look at it and I tell them i can fix it......... uhh 60% of the time it is unplugged........So, that's the people we deal with... but remember as long as they buy we benefit from the volume of sales

Really guys?
- Purpose of this tread is not to complain about LWP. That's why its called "Atrix Trade In" and asks "what is the best way to go about trading in an Atrix." For purposes of this thread, it doesn't matter WHY I'm doing, just the best WAY to do it.
- I know standard ways of selling a phone. Just like you can sell anything else. I'm not an idiot. That's why I asked for the BEST way to sell the phone i.e. some exchange that I may not know about where people exchange devices etc, or potential some return program through AT&T that I may not know about.
No need to be complete d$&#s.

I'm so confused. I'm using my Atrix right now, and I've definitely got a live wallpaper going right now.
Also, if you're really gonna sell it, Craigslist. I've sold a couple smart phones and plenty of music gear within 24 hours or less for a good price. Just make sure to put up pictures and your phone number, and if possible have original packaging and proof of purchase.

What the op means is he wants gingerbread, gingerbread brought along hardware acceleration. Hes going to trade his new phone because there is a tiny amount of lag in the launcher while using an ornamental wall paper. Well I am a ****, so I'll go ahead and say it, you are an impatient moron. You are asking a developer website how to trade a phone... GOOGLE IT.. on your google phone.

Well at least you'll admit it - that's the first step, I guess. Moron? Do you even know what the word moron means? Apparently I have "mild retardation" because I asked how to sell a phone. That makes sense.
And this is General Atrix forum. Development questions go in the Development forum. XDA, true, began as a development forum but has obviously expanded. Check the rest of the threads in this General Atrix forum - most have nothing to do with development. If anyone has mild retardation, it seems to be you, because apparently you can't read (note: illiteracy is a sign of mental retardation).
Thanks for the tip on Craig's list! I'll check that out. The lag comes in when you use a launcher with animations with LWP. LWP works, just not well enough for my tastes (I bought "the most powerful smart phone in the world" so things like this wouldn't be an issue).
The OP isn't really looking for help. This is just an attempt to take a jab at the Atrix veiled as a request for assistance.
At least that's my take on it.

This site is called xda developers just so you know, and this is the general section... Not the useless section. (note: thats Q/A )
The atrix general forum is filled with confused people asking for help and giving advice. There are questions about the atrix in mexico, how to enable 1080p recording, how to get better battery life. Then there is you... Asking how to trade the atrix. Just say it to yourself... How to trade the atrix...
I'm glad your just discovering the interwebz but scooby doo is less confused then you.

Side track.. That's cool... I think spb mobile is pretty badass. I thought with all that hardware acceleration it would be horrible on battery but it used about as much as adw which is practically nothing.
Goes to show op, worlds most powerful phone is pretty f*cking powerful. Let the software mature, or jump ship the nexus is a great phone. Just whatever you do don't tell us
