[Droid X General] wtivey:
I flashed the Liberty ROM and can't get past the boot screen, it's been sitting there for about 35 minutes. I can't pull the battery b/c last time I put the battery back in I accidentally put it in over top the little red tape you use to pull it. Does anyone know how to get past the boot screen w/o pulling the battery; or does anyone know how to pull the battery w/o having to use the red tape?
[Droid X General] sfreemanoh:
Did you wipe data/cache before and/or after flashing the ROM? For taking the battery out...maybe use something non-conductive to (gently) pry it out?
[Droid X General] milan616:
Why don't you want to use the pull tab to remove the battery? That is what it's made for ;)
[Droid X General] wtivey:
I Know that's what it's made for; it just got caught underneath the battery. Anyway, I got the battery out but I can't get it into clockwork. I flashed the Apex ROM because I couldn't get the Liberty ROM to do anything. Now the Apex ROM won't let me reboot into clockwork. Any ideas? I've tried plugging it up and then taking the battery out and hitting power and volume down; that used to work but it won't work...
[Droid X General] mattmartin77:
wipe data/cache and factory reset, if that doesnt work its time to sbf
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
I believe that it is now time to sbf
[Droid X General] Funnyface19:
have you tried putting ur battery in, plugging in ur phone to ur wall charger let it do its charging animation, and then while still plugged in turn on by using the power button, it should boot into clockworkmod

Ok. Just unplug the phone and close odin. Then go again to download mode, flash jpf or jpm and then try flashing kyrillos rom again. Good lick.

[Thunderbolt General] suzook:
I love the phone in everyway...but...Im disappointed with the screen. I had a Fascinate before it, and while everything about it sucked, the screen was beautiful! I guess i got spoiled with the amoled. Whats everyone elses opinion here. Im contemplating returning it, hoping the bionic has a better screen.
[Thunderbolt General] PJnc284:
yeah, the Thunderbolt's screen doesn't even come close to the Fascinate. I had the two side-by-side last night and the difference especially at max brightness was quite noticeable. I also noticed that angry birds isn't as smooth and fluid on the Bolt as the Fascinate but other than that, the Thunderbolt easily outdoes the Fascinate.
[Thunderbolt General] suzook:
I guess the amoled screens are too expensive to manufacture. I will not even consider the stealth from sammy. I have given up with them as a cellphone manufacturer...the fasc is STILL running eclair...A big FAIL on sammies end.
[Thunderbolt General] magneticzero:
At least we wont get screen burn in's like amoled gets.
[Thunderbolt General] nosympathy:
i went from an iPhone 4 to an evo, so dropped resoultion going to a bigger screen, and actually thought it looked great, to then this phone, and I have to say, the screen on this phone for me is fantastic. I think it is maybe a little to warm sometimes, as when showing flesh tones, but I would assume that like for the evo, we will be able to change that over time.
[Thunderbolt General] magneticzero:
cant really blame samsung. verizon is the final say and they usally are slow to approve/disapprove any updates. just like their phone releases ;)
[Thunderbolt General] nosympathy:
no, this happens among all the carriers. Samsung is the slowest cell phone MFG to release updates for their current phone models. Unless the list changed, and I would have to go find it on engadget, HTC was the highest, and above samsung by a good deal.
[Thunderbolt General] Boss428man:
I know what you mean coming from the Incredible. But I've gotten used to the slcd just don't look at your other for a while. I think its pointless to look for perfection especially on a phone screen. You'd need a color calibrated broadcast monitor for perfection. One thing i noticed is the slcd is much better in direct sunlight. So a little less brightness and clarity keeping in mind I can't really notice at normal viewing distances and the fact that you can see the screen outside seems like an ok trade off. (Yes if you hold it really close to your eyes and study it you can but... Just my thoughts on it.
[Thunderbolt General] chimpsnest:
Went out for a walk yesterday w/the Bolt using Cardio Trainer, my god it was impossible to see the screen in the sun ... didn't feel like trying to tweak settings, make brighter, etc., while I was on the move - but will do so next time before I start the run just in case I want to see where I'm at.
[Thunderbolt General] boingboingbilly:
I definitely notice a difference between the AMOLED Incredible (my wife's phone, formerly mine) and the TB. The colors are off - too brilliant in the wrong way. Blues are purplish and Reds are off too. Its even worse when comparing to the iPhone, which is what I have been carrying lately. Not happy with it - the crispness of the iPhone makes this look blown out. As my wife said "It's like the iPhone is HD and the Thunderbolt is SD." The additional real estate is nice, but definitely prefer the Inc AMOLED and the iPhone Retina.

Ooof.
[Thunderbolt General] PJnc284:
Wonder if Verizon will follow suit with Sprint. An LTE Nexus S would be money.
[Thunderbolt General] TNS201:
Its not like its your living room featured TV. You guys must have some superb vision or something, but I am satisfied, but some people you cant just please.

Beggars can't be choosers. Either go with a company who don't update your software ever or go with one that does. Most important to me with my phone is properly functioning software.
[Thunderbolt General] suzook:
No...its gonna be the samsung stealth.
[Thunderbolt General] javawolfpack:
I don't personally do video/photo editing on my phone or watch movies, which is the only reasons I could think of a screen truly mattering. I have the DROID Incredible currently w/ the AMOLED and well generally I can't really tell any functional difference between it and the Thunderbolt screen I played with in a Verizon store after ordering one for myself (arrives tomorrow).

I am a bit of a video/audiophile but only on things like my TV & computer monitors, but can't see why it'd matter for such a small screen either.

Has anyone had any experience w/ the Thunderbolt in direct sunlight? I can't see anything on my Incredible when it's in the sun. I could at least get a vague idea w/ my old iPhone 3G... which I find a more important factor than the color quality/pixel density on a phone.
[Thunderbolt General] boingboingbilly:
I get what you are saying, but your cavalier dismissal ignores the fact that other devices exist that have superior quality. Its not like I am wishing for something ideal that isnt possible. One might expect that when paying top dollar for a "flagship" device you would get some good quality hardware. Not saying the device is flawed, just that the screen definitely isnt as good as phones that came a year before it.

As for properly functioning software, I doubt you could argue that this is functioning perfectly - maybe for you it is and maybe my experiences are anecdotal but I and my coworker are experiencing random reboots, problems with calendar sync, and data transfer problems where you have to reboot to resume connection. I will also volunteer that our Verizon rep said she is seeing very high return rates on the Thunderbolt due to software issues. Again, maybe anecdotal and maybe "some people you just can't please" but sometimes good enough isnt enough in the face of alternatives that work better out of the gate.
[Thunderbolt General] nswenson:
The amoiled screen has a amazing color saturation; however the low subpixel count makes text look very pixelated. I much prefer the slcd screen for viewing web pages. Makes the small text so much clearer. I had the Nexus S prior to this phone and I think the Thunderbolt is much nicer overall, including the display (for my usage).
[Thunderbolt General] angermeans:
The bionic will have a better qhd screen but if it is like the atrix then it I'd using the pentile matrix and will more than likely look even more "fuzzy" than the bolt. Do a Google search for arstechnica pentile matrix they have a great article on it and after using super lcd on my incredible (I had the amoled version as well and the nexus one) I much prefer the super lcd to any amoled with pentile. Plus the bionic won't even have the better colors like amoled. That is a big fail on motorola for making their first qhd screens pentile. I have to believe the screen on the thunderbolt will have to look better.
[Thunderbolt General] suzook:
OK, there is definately major variences between screens on different phones. I just got a replacement for a dead speaker, and well...the screen has much more contrast, and does not wash out much at an angle. Im suprised to see such a difference between the 2.
[Thunderbolt General] Old MuckenMire:
I actually love this screen. I came from the Nexus One AMOLED screen and I prefer the TBolt. The screen is brighter on the Tbolt and the colors are just ever so slightly less saturated than the AMOLED which is actually a good thing in some cases(movies and skin tones)
[Thunderbolt General] Magnus_CA:
I'm with you, I miss the blacks of my amoled dinc.
[Thunderbolt General] williamthegoat:
As far as I can tell, my Thunderbolt isn't any worse looking than my friend's Fascinate, and it's a much better phone. And god is it ever better than my old iPhone 3G I just switched from. I'm pretty happy with it.

What software do you use to video calls?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] B3ATTY:
The only ones I have heard of are Fring, Tango and Yahoo. I think both parties need to be registered with the application for it to work.

Haven't used any of them though
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] bnovak:
Skype android works like a charm on my phone and worked on my POS pandigital tablet, but again, both parties need the app. Hoping to test it on the Gtab this week.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] brandonpavo:
Reelportal is only thing that will work android to pc. I will post. Apk later,search on xda. You download and install and also install adobe AIR. Then all person on pc has to do is go to reelportal.com on pc. Go to same room,fast and simple. You click on number 10 to enable webcam.trust me,if you want to save alot of time go this route,ive tried it all.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ecatapano:
How did you get Skype to work to do video calls?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Tester30:
Skype does not have camera settings in present release. Only voice calls are available. Also, not all ROMs support Skype.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] bnovak:
Doh..brainfarted on that one. I skype video off my laptop and IPAD2..... My bad. (long week)

However, skype (audio) works fine on the android platform. I use it on my Droid all the time when I'm international. Cuts way down on my phone bill.

Apparently skype is working on a camera enabled android APK specifically for the tablet market, now that most of them have camera's. I wouldn't know about the G-tab though - Tigerdirect screwed me over big time so know I have to go hunt one down while I'm on the road.....grrr...
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] persichini:
I pulled qik apk off my tmobile MyTouch 4g and it worked just fine.

I am trying out reelportalhttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=908613&highlight=reelportal and really liking it so far.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] themsn:
I agree with brandonpavo.

The reelportal method is the best method for android to PC/Mac right now (hopefully Skype will get something going soon, and not just for iOS :mad:).

I tested it with both a PC and a MAC on my GTab and it worked perfect!

Now the question is how long it'll be free. (I wonder this since reelportal is posting on xda asking for testers). but until then I will be able to video chat with my wife whenever I'm away.

thanks for the tip!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] reelportal:
Thanks for testing it out. I intend to keep ReelPortal free. That's why I even make the server available, so anyone can run their own service. Imagine getting hold of a Skype server software :).

My intention is to use ReelPortal as a foundation for developing other software I had in mind, beyond the video conferencing aspect.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nunjabusiness:
Very good to hear. With a little refinement of the UI, I think you have a world-class app. Now that our son and daughter-in-law also have G-tabs, my wife plans to do some video chat with our grandchildren.

i was updating my second captivate to the supernova rom, while all seemed to be going fine, i flashed the clockwork and went into recovery and installed it, well after a smooth install all the phone will do is boot up to the start animation then vibrate a few times and restart the boot animation, i was able to get it to go into the download screen the first night it happened but now all i get is the android recovery, the sad thing is i cant select any of them... and of coarse without the dl screen i cant get odin to connect and re flash it, ive even tried different computers and different usb wires im at a loss.... ive tried holding both volume buttons, ive tried just holding the down volume button and i just cant get it to go... any suggestions? they'd be greatly appreciated. oh btw the pc makes a sound letting me know it sees the phone but thats as far as it will go

i did. i placed 2 orders ( total: 3 dell streaks) on 3-21. i got the first one yesterday, and it shipped with android 2.2.2.

Yeah it takes a while. I got the shipping notice late Thursday and actually shipped Friday. According to fedex it won't be here until Tuesday. That is pretty slow. Oh well. Just looking forward to my first streak. Hopefully it will be worth it.
[Streak 5 General] eSZee:
Mine still just says they received info on friday and nothing else. It's so annoying cause DELL upgraded my shipping to 2day yet it's still expected to be here on teh same day that my 3-5 day was scheduled. So without the upgrade, it would've been delayed again. Thanks DELL, you suck.

No, scratch that. It's actually coming a day later than it would've had I not complained to dell. Splendid, this sucks.
