If you are looking for a reliable phone with amazing look and great built quality, sure, this phone is for you. If you are planning to play around with your phone and flashing custom ROMs, maybe you should buy Nexus phone or a used one. It has great community support.

Thanks guys for ur suggestions.. But how abt battery life..? somewhere i read that the battery life isn't good..and the phone is bit laggy..

u read it wrong
battery is just good with one day continously surfing net + whats app+ messaging
you know how much the phone vibrates in that
just go for it dnt think twice :thumbup:
Sent from my HTC One V

Yup!!!

battery life is a-ok. last for a day and a half with calls and sms, unless i play games on it and then its goodbye battery.. as for lag, i don't even notice any lag..

My battery life is very good. I can use it for 1 whole day and it will still have about 35% with browsing, facebook, google+,camera, YouTube etc. I dont really play games on it.
In the interface you won't find lagg but some browsers is very laggy on One V so you have to use Dolphin Browser HD to get a smooth browser experience
Oh and btw I'm using the STOCK firmware without root or anything else. Just out of the box

Can we use Edge/2g Internet on this phone?

the Anker batteries werent bad im going look into them for this phone .i dont like plugging my phone up with a cord it seems to put too much wear and tear on the connections. Just when you flash alot of roms like i was doing its pretty useless to try and get a battery calibrated to a rom if you know tomorrow or the next day youll be running something else so battery life on a rom dont mean squat to me thats why ill just buy a couple extra so when one is starting to die you just pop in another
Thank you for joining us. And that.k you in advance for all the hard work you will put in. XD

I was thinking after the first one to switch already but I really wanted the camera from the amaze. I'm a Photographer so it was hard but after taking a good hard look, the s2 didn't have that much of a difference. Plus when I finally did the switch, this phone was on sale for 88 bucks. I paid 188 for the amaze. So when I did switch I got money back because they had to honor the sale price. So I got a better phone for me and for 100 bucks back

It seems all they're doing is vomiting phones to us and rushing these damn incomplete devices. The sensation had an amazing community but nothing to save it's hardware and battery problems. These stupid companies need to slow down and make something great. I'm an HTC fan and just waiting for them to make something nice that I can replace my Galaxy with. Sorry guys.

The only problem that HTC devices have imo is Sense. The G1 was great for the couple years I had it. Look at the G2!! Great phone because it's running vanilla Android.
Sense = Fail
Always syncing in the background, taking up resources, and bogging the phone down. ESPECIALLY on the Mytouch 3G slide (oh what a mess that phone is). Every time someone walks into my store with a MT3G slide i think, "oh boy here we go" lol
Even on the HD2 windows phone!! The solution we gave a lot of customers was to turn Sense off and it solved pretty much everyone's problems with that phone.
Lol couldn't agree more. Sense is definitely eye candy, but i end up removing most of the stuff with titanium backup. I enjoy some things from there but eh. Seems to me like the mt4g was the last quality phone by them. The one with the good display at least. I remember getting 4 hours display time with that bad boy and that was running sense. Glad we have tdj and rk from there lol

I hear ya haha. I used to hate WM6.5 sooo much and was super hyped when I found out android had been ported over. That phone was one of the best over ever had, si many customization option when it came to ROMs. They even have ICS already. I would have kept it had it not been for the catastrophic drop that ruined the display

Thinking about buying a Play

Hi all,
I currently have a Fascinate on Verizon and am sick of the issues it is having. It seems a large number of them have memory issues and it's constantly restarting and bootlooping at an empty battery screen. Long story short, I want to buy a used Play. Mainly for two reasons. One, I want a working phone, and two, I love playing emulators but hate on-screen controls.
How are you folks liking the Play currently? How are the ICS ROMs running? How is emulator performance (PS1 specifically) on ICS ROMs? Does the gamepad work on ICS ROMs?
Thanks for your help; I really don't want to switch phones for something worse :/
Best phone ever! Fact!
It's an android phone with a gamepad that makes gaming easier, what more do you want

How long do u get with the bttery with standard use and while hard gaming?
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
I got my Xperia Play for 169euro in Vodafone IE, so i think it was the best value android phone ever! But i was worried becouse how come Vodafone reduced 500 euro price to 169, i thought it must be crappy phone! But after bootloader unlock and flashing .58 firmware + TrueAncestor Rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546134&highlight=true i think this phone is great! Works fast and smoth, battery for me is long enough too, around 3 days for some wifi use, text and calls. Im not playing so much but i used keypad on GTAIII or Shadowgun and it was good fun! I hate using touchscreen if I played some game ever More likely i flashed few Custom Roms but the best working ICS ROM for me is AokPlay! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582118. So many options!!!!!! and theme manager and many many more! good luck!
I wouldn't because in terms of performance, it's not an upgrade from your old phone, just install cm9 or something and keep using your phone till your contracts up :O
I don´t know If I would buy it again, it´s the best phone ever, BUT, it´s the WORST built quality I´ve ever seem, and I´m serious, it´s the cheapest plastic on a mobile I´ve ever, after 1 week only some cracks appears on the plastic, it hapenned twice, when I first bought it, and after I sent it back and received a new one, they both had the same problem...
Really a shame, it´s the perfect smartphone, with the worst material, don´t know why Sony did that...
I have dropped mine a couple of times but there are no cracks at all...

I'm not looking for an "upgrade" to my old phone. My old phone doesn't work properly as I said in my OP. I already had ICS on it too. I'm looking for something to hold me over till December till my upgrade is due, and I love emulators but hate onscreen controls.
I just ordered one today so it should be here Tuesday/Wednesday. Thanks for all the input guys

I currently have an Inspire "4G". Where Im sitting, the VX looks pretty good. Not only is it an increase in screen size and processor specs, but also provides a front camera i've been missing since i lost my iphone. To top it all off, its only $50. I know the One X+ looks great and all, the VX just might be more of what i need. I don't watch movies on my phone(i use my ipad), and I HATE touch screen gaming, so yeah, i think this may be my next upgrade.

I'm in the same boat as you, I think 5.7" is too big , but unlke you, I do watch movies and play games in the phone , but I'm missing the front facing camera , even thought the specs on this one are low. A least I'll have one now , I don't have to flip the phone when I'm using tango
Just putting it out there , I check a few stores , and they don't have it . I wonder if is available . Or is on hold , or some stuff like that
$29.99 at my local mall at&t kiosk
pretty sweet little phone. can't wait til the devs get a crack at it
I'm also using an HTC DHD. I'm running AOKP JB 4.2.2and am really happy that the devs have supported that phone for so long, but I'm ready for an upgrade.
At this moment the One VX is 99¢ at ATT online. Naturally I came here first to see what the community has been doing with the device. The early lack of support is keeping my wallet closed for now.
..maybe.

Just kidding lol, it was a GREAT move!
Get ready to taste the future!
With amazing features and just amazingness! If you don't love the phone then there's something seriously wrong with you lol. Although I can say that the sound is better on the htc one since it had dual speakers. But other than that, you're gonna experience one great battery phone! The minimum I've ever had was 2hr on-screen time, and the max was 5hr on a single charge! Speaking of charging, it charges really fast! I can go on and on but I don't really have much time to type a full response! Hope you found this helpful

I can tell you it's not as good as the note 2's battery but that's a bigger phone so it needs something to keep it up. So if you look at it like that it's equivalent in a way, but I can say it's better than the s3's.
