]]> Comment on See How The HTC Wildfire S Compares To Other Virgin Mobile Android Phones by Mike Crabtree http://htcwildfires.rockthatmobile.com/htc-wildfire-compares-virgin-mobile-android-phones/#comment-6 Mike Crabtree Sat, 15 Oct 2011 05:30:28 +0000 http://htcwildfires.rockthatmobile.com/?p=44#comment-6 I have owned every Android Virgin Mobile has had to date. At first I thought VM was just a bad provider because my Samsung Intercept had so many dropped calls, late or missing text and other problems not related to the service. When the Optimus V came out, I traded the Samsung in for it. I had had the Intercept for less than 30 days, less than 30 days that felt like a life time. Unless you like pain and headaches don't buy that phone. When I got the Optimus V nearly all those troubles were gone. Few if any dropped calls, Text went through quickly, GPS worked great (but to be fare, the GPS on the Intercept worked well too) and all the dire problems that were warned about because of the phones lower hardware specs never came to pass. Of the three VM phones I have had, the Optimus V was the best, Not the fastes but the most stable, where the phone worked as it was supposed to. Then came the Motorola Triumph. What can I say about this phone that is nice...........The screen looks good.........when it works. Easier to say whats not nice about it. Have tried to hook up to a half dozen phones by blue tooth. It will see the other phones but no talk to them. Screen flickers all the time, There is a dead spot that runs up and down the middle of the screen, some times it works and sometimes it is dead, back button only works about 60% of the time, Internet gets me a white screen more often than not and is pretty much useless, GPS only works if you use GPSfix first. Run GPSfix app before you need to use the GPS on the phone or you will never get a GPS lock. I have had to add a third party launcher to the phone which has helped a little with the phones stability. On my phone at least the launcher is not handling things well. I had to add Android Assistant to manage the apps and hardware usage to free up resources to reduce glitches in the phone. I am still trying to find apps that might help this phone, and it looks like people are getting the word that this phone is not worth the 300.00 that Virgin Mobile and Motorola think it is worth as no one wants to buy my phone. or even trade for 3/4 value. About Virgin Mobile. Their service is good if you live in an area where Sprint is well received. If Sprint service is spotty where you live, no phone is going to make it better. If your in a good Sprint area buy the Optimus V, it cost half that of the Triumph and works. It does not have flash but for me I would rather do without flash and have a stable phone than have a phone that does flash but I cant get on line with because the browser is goofed some how. If the Optimus V is not to your liking, wait for something better to come along. The Optimus Black/Marquee is thought to be out around Christmas and there is word that a couple other phones may be out before the end of the year. I strongly suggest that what ever you decide to get, do not get it the moment it is released. That is what I did with the Moto Triumph, sold my Optimus, big mistake. Give it time to see if early buyers start having problems. If not, jump on it, if they do, run for the hills. I have owned every Android Virgin Mobile has had to date.
