)

You're asking this in the Vivid forum so obviously we're going to the Vivid. Even if I wasn't biased, I'd say the Vivid over the LG. But might as well wait a week for the One X release at this point.

The One X might be a step down - no micro SD card, no removable battery. Yes, it will come with ICS and Sense 4, but the new Vivids being sold now probably have ICS (with Sense 3.6), or should.

the one x is completely out of my interest ! and budget too

so i am only comparing the vivid vs nitro !

what would prefer ?

I have had the Vivid since the day it was released and have no regrets. LG makes some products very well...I have LG washer and dryer, DVD player...in my opinion they are far behind in comparison to HTC..but I am somewhat biased towards HTC after having an LG phone after my departure from the iPhone...I thought iPhone was the bomb until I tried android...no comparison..I too am not interested in the One X, not because of price but the battery and sd card issue..if I wanted that I would have stayed with apple...

i'd say vivid we have a batter camera in my opinion and we have better roms also in my opinion. also we have ics. i am also a fan of the sense UI over any other android UIs. also LGs history with phone updates is pretty terrible. The Nitro HD wasnt even a option when choosing the Vivid.

The Vivid has a stronger dev community than the Nitro. Plus I would prefer HTC Sense anyday over LG's interface.

LG is trash go with HTC!

i've actually owned both the nitro and the vivid.
First i had the vivid. then i read up on the nitro's specs and decided to exchange it. i regretted it within a day and ended up getting the vivid again.

the camera is terrible (like really terrible, worse than 1st iphone terrible)
the phone is plain
the screen is the only thing the phone has over the vivid, and it's not a significant difference.
if you want the 1.5ghz clock than use a kernel that puts it to it's default value (htc underclocks for battery life) an hey you can go to 1.7 if you wanted to as well.

get the vivid, trust me lol

thanks a bunch guys !!

definately getting the vivid now !!

and is there anyone who had any issues with the device (software, hardware) any bricks or so ?

and also i would like to know whether vivid supports .mkv in the ics update (i know gb doesnt

)

thanks...

zacgoesrawr · Apr 25, 2012

i don't know if it natively does.. but you can get MX Player or something like that, and it'll play it. Also, i've never actually "bricked" my device i've messed everything up seriously multiple times but very easy to come back from it

yeap mx player does the job !

but you know it is always better to have default video encoding support !

anyways, i am going for the vivid !

is my choice legit ?

ccb101 · Apr 25, 2012

My only suggestion is to not use cwm recovery or twirp recovery and use wcxrecovery. Wild child was on the phone with a guy for a few hours trying to get cwm recovery off this phone because it bricked it. After a while he got it off the phone. I have heard people are having issues with the twrip recovery as well so I've stayed clear of that myself

It's a huge step up in development though.

Of course that's only speculation considering the AT&T version isn't out yet. Looking at the current development community, it's intriguing.

There could be 1000 devs for the One X and I still wouldnt want the phone lol. No expandable memory kills it hard for me.
