hmm, i had the same problem when i got my new phone too. for me i had to go in on the phone and download a map for that region for it to finally work. now though it works fine. the downloads take forever though, but it could just be the slow wifi here.

**Headache in a Suitcase** · 04-11-2011, 11:57 AM

do you have a data cap on your plan?

gvox · 04-11-2011, 03:36 PM

I think I figured out a workaround...if I fire up the nav and punch in the address before I leave home, ie when I'm still on my wifi, I guess it downloads those directions locally because then when I leave the house I still have full navigation, even with data turned off. I suppose if I wanted to do an address when already out on the road, I'd have to turn data on for a bit to get that. Sounds logical, but still seems a bit pissy..

**Headache in a Suitcase** · 04-12-2011, 07:19 AM

but why do you have to turn data off? lot of roaming up in the canadian yukon?

gvox · 04-12-2011, 08:29 AM

LOL good one..my data plan is not unlimited and I find the Android uses more data than the BB does.

**Headache in a Suitcase** · 04-12-2011, 08:57 AM

got'cha... makes sense.

i have an incredible fear of the day that verizon switches to tiered data plans. i know they're already going to it for 4G, which is the number one reason why i want no part of a 4G phone right now. i'm a data hog.

first thing i'd have to do is get a real sirius/xm subscription, 'cause right now i just have the cheapo internet subscription and use my droid to listen to it. it's about 2-3 minutes delayed, but really.. who cares? i'm just listing to opie & anthony... i don't need it for sprts and stuffs.

**KhanadaRhodes** · 04-13-2011, 01:21 AM

i miss being able to listen to xm online. it used to be included with certain plans (i have a lifetime subscription which i "gave" to my mom as itdoes me no good atm) but now it's all separate. i miss first wave, though imiss fred even more.

Nice. I love almost everything about my HTC phone. Only issue is the battery kinda sucks. Buy a spare.

Thats what I love about rooting your phone, the different kernels out their that vastly improve battery life

My sister got the EVO last month, and the battery life is her only complaint. I'm going to get the Inspire, and a spare battery was her suggestion too.

Thanks for the recommendation.

mikal · 04-21-2011, 05:42 AM

so i got the LG Optimus V for VM, amazing little device! does anyone know where to find some good U2 wallpapers for the droid?

MoodyJ · 05-12-2011, 06:05 PM

I did get the HTC Inspire, and have been kicking around with it for almost two weeks. It's bigger than I'm used to (I had the Samsung Eternity for 2 years), but I can deal with it. The only real complaint right now is that the batter life sucks, especially when using the WiFi. I was warned about it, so I picked up a spare USB cable to charge it while at the office. I need to check out the juice defender app that was recommended, and see if it makes a difference.

mikal · 05-16-2011, 06:02 AM

i actually heard that Juice Defender drains even more battery because you end up killing apps that aren't draining battery. Then it takes twice as much battery to reload them.

MoodyJ · 05-21-2011, 04:26 PM

^ Yes, I did read that somewhere, and it does sound less than ideal.

pdxracer · 05-24-2011, 12:43 PM

I am making the switch from Blackberry (8220 Flip Tmobile), most likely to the new HTC Sensation coming out June 8th.

Finally making jump, as new Data plans came out
