ZTE WARP Specs and info.

Why does it say 480p for the resolution when I seen an article stating it's 720p ZTE Warp Android Phone by Boost Mobile at $ 249 | Android Advices

Warp can play 720p HD videos very well, but not sure if can reording HD as well after my testing. can anyone help us to solve this confusion?

Hey chodroid do the function buttons on the bottom light up?

I do not have this phone but from the video reviews I've seen.
the capacitive buttons staying lit depends on the room lighting due to the proximity sensor. That's the sensor that turns the screen off when you put the phone up to your ear.

So... if your in a well lit room or in daylight they won't light up

But if your in a dark room or outside at night time they will.

Just my perceptive analysis of video reviews.

Maybe chodroid can confirm.

::a wild penguin appears::
penguin used root!
its super effective!

PS its not gorilla glass, they would have advertised it as a feature its tft lcd, where as the prevail has a capacative tocuh screen making it feel cheapyly done

ive owned a nexus s 4g, and an epic and a g2 and a photon 4g and a heroc and a prevail.. half of them havent had it, you start to be able to tell the difference in them all.

for anyone not believeing me in why i dont think it has it, http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/#products-with-gorilla doesnt have a single zte phone on there let alone the warp

So far no dropped calls. Used BT headset last night for a 1hr+ call and a few small ones today no issues.

I'm pleased to report today I have so far been using:
4 hours of pandora
30+ texts
3 phone calls <10min each
Battery is at 88%! On prevail by now I'd be at 65-68%. Battery life seems to be pretty good so far.

Update: If anyone is still debating or thinks this phone has gorilla glass. Please by all means attempt the test from the following video. Gorilla Glass is Amazing - YouTube[/QUOTE]

[KrisM3]

Has anyone tried rooting the phone?

I activated my Warp on Friday 11/11 and so far have loved it! Very fast, very user friendly. No dropped calls, however I was not receiving all my text messages (people told me they sent me a text). I powered down and back up and 17 messages came through. Since Sunday, no issues getting texts.

I also paid $249.00 for the phone but called Boost and they issued me the $55.00 credit.

So far, so good and a great phone for a great price. I will agree with someone else though that the camera picture taking lags a bit - however it is a nice, crisp picture once it does take. Love the large screen.

Also note, there is no SIM card slot only an SD slot. And yes, the buttons on the bottom light up. My only complaint would be the LED indicater light is very small. Sometimes I do not even notice it is blinking. (say phone is on silent and I get a text)

There are no covers, cases, etc available yet either - I was able to get a screen protecter for the HTC EVO and it fits pretty nicely and works for now. I asked Boost when their would be items available and the guy had no clue.

Has anyone tried rooting the phone?

I tried Gingerbreak but after half an hour it still hadn't worked. Not saying it won't work since I don't really know. Just saying I got tired of waiting after 30 minutes.

My Warp is running Android 2.3.5, and I know that version has been rooted on other ZTE phones. So I think it's possible, but so far no one has released any tool to do it.

 

[marke123]

Backing up Shabby on this one. I've done a ton of research on this phone and there is no mention of it ever being gorilla glass.

It's all spelled out right here, clearly says that the Warp has Gorilla Glass:

Boost Mobile (Sprint) Warp - ZTE USA

 

[marke123]

So, I got my phone Tuesday and put it to a pretty good test while driving for 2 hours. I covered about 150 miles between Fort Collins and Breckenridge, which had me traveling through Denver and then up into the mountains about 80 miles.

Signal was strong the entire way. When I got to the base of the mountains I fired up streaming video from a global news station. I left that on for the entire remainder of the drive up into the mountains (about an hour, covering about 80 miles as I said). The highway is cut into the mountains so most of the drive is in what you'd probably call "canyon" between mountains.

The signal only faded twice for a few seconds (naturally, I'm driving in deep canyons), and I streamed the news videos the entire time. Performance was very good -- waaaaaaaaaaaay better than Cricket ever was in that same area.

Oh, and the video looked awesome on the Warp screen. No jittering, no pixelation, good clear video.

Maybe 3D Flip Clock, or something like that. It's an HTC style clock.
