Wow, wasn't expecting this much response. But thanks for all the input and it sounds like the opinions are all the same across the board. Probably will be making the switch soon, plus it will be nice to be back on Verizon. Thanks so much.

(Typed the whole reply with my on screen keyboard lol)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamhlj:
So this phone does have swype?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javawolfpack:
It doesn't come preinstalled from what I could tell from the in store model I played with. You can always install it yourself. Though apparently some people are having issues w/ spacing from what I read on another thread in this forum, probably worth looking into that to see if there is a fix yet.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arasky:
you just have to try other keyboard phones in the market, at this time theres only the droid 2 thats comparable to my og droid on verizon. the epic 4g is nice but i cant go to sprint. the phone's screen is so large it makes it easy. the only problem is that with my og droid i could type under the the table no problem if i had to send a message out, but with this i have to look at the screen.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSlyWolf:
My first smart phone was the samsung sch-i760, loved the hw keyboard, that's why I moved on to the tp2 afterwards. To be honest, the tp2 shows absolutely no wear after using swype. As soon a you get used to swype you'll wonder how you ever got along without it.

Bummer the thunderbolt didn't come with swype but the evo version is working fine for me now, but I do like the beta layout more to be honest. In due time I spose
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomlyWatts:
I switched over from an OG Droid running 2.3, and therefore a Gingerbread keyboard. I really loved my QWERTY, but now, I'm getting the hang of the on screen keyboard. I installed the 2.3 keyboard .apk and typing just kinda flows. It's different, but it's fluid. The switch is worth it in the end.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RafficaX:
I came from OG Droid and it was smooth and great. always used touch screen on d1 anyways.

has anyone got a working version of swype yet? my beta copy still has spacing bug. or was beta updated? didnt want to install swype installer and go through all that if someone knows.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyagee:
Just downloaded the latest beta for swype. It installed fine and I've had no issues with spacing bug. It works awesome.

I am using handscent (stock messenger sucks) it looks like the spacing bug is related to the stock messenger. I can tell you switching to hansscent you wont be disappointed.

As far as the original question, you wont miss your slide out keypads. The only time I've ever care is the occasional "Web form" where if you bring up the keypad you loose the page situations. They luckily are rare and once you learn to use the "next" and "done" buttons its really a non issue.

On my thunderbolt I didn't much care for the sense keyboard compared to the d1 on screen I was used to. I switched to the gingerbread keyboard which is free from the market I found it to be much cleaner and easier to use.

It is quite possible to touch type without looking at the keyboard once you get used to it. I recommend either turning on the keyboard sounds and/or haptic feedback.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cthuga:
My past 2 phones were (Dream (G1) and BlueAngel) had slide out keyboards, so the TB is my first onscreen and it was no problem adjusting. I used to speed through emails on my g1, but the TB is just about as fast to type on. No worries here.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infamousxsniper:
Does swype come pre installed?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotorocker:
i came from the OG droid. I have no problem using the keyboard now because the screen size is larger. I had thickbuttons for the old phone, I can't stand swype. I may try out the gingerbread keyboard if I get bored
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javawolfpack:
This has already been answered, but no doesn't come preinstalled.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolsilver:
Same. Tp2 to TB. No real issues I can still type as fast.

Though sometimes my fingers in close proximity to the screen it thinks I tap on it, I can feel the screen field change when it does.

Think that is just me though.

I been using the SlideIT keyboard.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steveo323:
I agree,I had the droid, swype isnt for me
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Studsted:
I also have just had feature phones with slide out keyboards and a BlackBerry. I was a little reluctant to get a phone without a key board but I now love the T-bolt. The key board is very big and easy to use in landscape. Within a day or two I could type as fast as I could on a key board. Haven’t tried swipe yet but heard it's pretty nice.
[Wildfire General] prihlopi4:
Hi. Thanks developers for CyanogenMod 7!! It's really great mod. But i've one problem - MMS. I need it for my job!! But is.t work in nightly#26. Internet is available. Thanks

Maybe i understand - there is NO process in MOD responsible for downloading messages
[Wildfire General] neoazrael:
did you check your mms options served by your service provider ?do you have them correctly? if you don't have them you should get them from ur service provider or setup manually.i think you can find more information at the web site of ur service provider
[Wildfire General] prihlopi4:
All settings are correct. EDGE и 3G is working. serviceman confirm. Problem in MOD. I think in android process. In which of them - don't know:(
[Wildfire General] Formiak:
Try installing other sms/mms application maybe this will work .
[Wildfire General] prihlopi4:
Thank u for advice, trying Go SMS - same.Some owners has similar problem
[Wildfire General] prihlopi4:
Restore the original ROM with nanadroid. Radio stay 13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10 from 2.3.3. #26. And again can't receive MMS.:mad: I think problem in RADIO. In original rom there was another Radio. How can i restore previous Radio?:confused:
[Wildfire General] nhnt11:
ROMs dont include radio. this has nothing to do with the radio, a fix was posted in the nightly thread i think, something about default apn settings.
[Wildfire General] prihlopi4:
You're right, problem not in radio. I install originall rom. Threw standard android's application i receive all mms. But threw another appl. (GO SMS or Handset SMS) - can't
[Wildfire General] prihlopi4:
What points may i do before recovering from clockworkmod\backup\xxxxx-xx-xx-xx:

- wipe data/factory

- wipe cache partition

- partition menu -> format system

- partition menu -> format data

- partition menu -> format cache

- advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
[Wildfire General] mn78jag:
If u have two apn settings, one for data and o e for mms, check the first one. Go down and check apn type. If it says default, mms in the box delete the word mms. Works for me.
[Wildfire General] prihlopi4:
Looks helpful, i'll try
[Wildfire General] prihlopi4:
Nothing happends. May be i receive mms but doesn't see them. In settings there is no point "protocal MMS: WAP 2.0" i think it's important
[Defy Themes and Apps] Phut:
As per title, it seems the Flashlight app's illumination intensity is slightly darker than that of the camcorder. Is anybody else experiencing this?
[Defy Themes and Apps] peetr_:
Because of that, I am using LED Light app. Any other I tried was weak.
[Defy Themes and Apps] ABC_Universal:
Probably try to avoid burning the flashlight ;)
[Defy Themes and Apps] Andrew-droid:
Hi,

I installed tesla flashlight and it was on a weak led light but still i didn't notice anything weird.

Then rooted the phone with super one click and went to film something and the led was weak as in tesla flashlight.

Now I wonder what did it. I already had to trade this defy phone because the first one came with 3 dead pixels. Now I have to do it again for a bad led light?

Is it a defect in production or what? I have barelly used this led, even with photos dare say any flashlighting was only for testing.

I have had a nokia xm5800 for like 2 years+ and the led still works fine.

Did anyone else have this or manage to solve it? I am in Brazil, so it it a LA version of the phone...

Cheers,

Andrew
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newellj79:
I've now tryied 3 different froyo Rome for the g1 including cm6.1. All of them run just fine but none of them find adobe flash app in the market? What gives? I really want flash for browsing.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michael2041:
Flash has two requirements - Froyo AND a newer processor. Our processors are out dated. :/ I think a hero rom might have flash lite, idk.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newellj79:
So your saying in all likely hood its not doable OJ the g1.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowch31:
What he is saying is it impossible other than a hero rom that runs 9.1 flash which doesn't really do alot as I'm guessing it will say you need to upgrade.

Flash requires arm 7 processors, we have arm 6 so will never see flash basically.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newellj79:
Gotcha. Thanx for the explanation.
[myTouch 4G General] fairmang:
Hi Guys

I am here in Canada and using the my Touch 4g with Wind Mobile, so no OTA option for me. I want to update to Android Froyo 2.2.1 to fix a nagging screen flickering issue with YouTube, which supposedly it fixes. How do I go about doing this with no OTA available?

The phone is unlocked but still has the T-Mobile crap-ware on it.

Any help is Appreciated.

Thanks.
[myTouch 4G General] jhjmonnee:
I would suggest reading up on rooting then flashing a custom recovery (clockwork mod 3.0.0.6). Make a nandroid backup...and head to the development section and pick a ROM that suits you.
[myTouch 4G General] Nicgraner:
Or you could be an average user go into the wind mobile store and ask lol, always a possibility.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdw9800:
Seems like I loose 1 percent every 2 to 3 minutes re calibrated my battery no 4g wifi gps stock Rom rooted any one else experience this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacoballen22:
Check spare parts app. Look at partial wake usage.

Sent from that one Guy.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
go to about phone, then battery. see if awake and on time is the same. if they are, bad. then go into battery usage, and see what the graph looks like.

then open up spare parts, go to battery history, hit the top box, and select partial wake usage. see if anything is not normal aka filling more than a few pixels at all. then check all the other top box options to see if anything isnt normal. then we can diagnose.

what rom/kernel?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacoballen22:
Thanks for expanding on my vague reply. You deserve a cookie.

Sent from that one Guy.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdw9800:
Thanks for the information up time and awake time are 6hrs apart so that's not the issue spear parts shows tango as the highest with 9min phone been on for 7 hours lost 30 percent with little to no usage I send 2 text lost 5 percent lol everything set to sync every 12hrs ima try a recalibtate with a battery stat wipe using amon ra having issues with clockworkmod
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdw9800:
I'm on stock Rom and stock kernel everything looks normal
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
ya something's wrong, and its not an app wakelock thing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdw9800:
Yeah if the issue continue ima go to Sprint and see if I can get a new battery seems like the issue is just my phone reading my battery wrong
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenmonkey1:
Not sure a new battery would fix the issue... but hey, if you can get them to give you one, can't hurt.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] detcup4evr:
That dosen't sound horriable, how long do you want the phone to last? I tried a sbc kernel with my extended battery and started getting crazy batterylife like 85 % after like 15 hour off charger with data off, and little use, mostly txting other then the risk of exploding battery I am considering going back to the sbc kernel. I am trying one of the new hdmi netarchy kernels

I learned turning data off can make ur phone last forever, if I plan on going out I will usually kill data, and turn it on when needed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdw9800:
Yeah its not too bad my main things a 2 to 4 percent drain from sending a text or 2 within the minute and thanks for the tip
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VegasEvo4G:
What exactly causes this? Every once in a while my battery, which is normally fantastic, seems to spring a leak! I installed spare parts and check it from time to time to make sure nothing is going bananas on me. Today I noticed that within about 5 hours of unplugging my phone, two quick calls, and a few texts, my battery was down to 65% (and still falling). I checked spare parts and under "other usage", it shows "running" 100% since last boot. Partial wake usage shows android system nearly full. This doesn't look right, and it certainly isn't acting like it does any other day.

I'm currently using ultimate juice. I have system panel and watchdog but I honestly haven't even reinstalled them since I rooted a few months ago. (Battery has been that good with MIUI...) Maybe I should??

Spare parts is new to me. Just downloaded it the other day, then this battery thing happened, and while scanning the forum just for ****s and giggles as I do every evening, I saw this post. Could somebody make light of this for me? Thanks...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfskevinohyeah:
same problem here i was unplugged for five mins and i lost 4 percent battery! hate it!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
srry but most battery problems which have no solution are from a bad match of kernel, rom, and phone. just keep flashing stuff until your phone likes something. thats why some evos (even never rooted) get 1300 quadrants and 30 hrs battery and others get 800 quadrants and 5 hrs battery.

edit: if there is a problem though, then it is fixable. i just dont know much more on how to find it besides that....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdw9800:
Yeah some days are better than others
[Atrix 4G General] Whipon:
A guy from another forum pointed me to this bug.

It starts when you hold two fingers in the screen for more than 12 seconds. Then the multitouch is lost. After a few seconds it fixes itself.

Has anyone noticed this?. Is there any fix or workaround?.

This is terrible for gaming.

[Atrix 4G General] Techcruncher:
omg same problem here.
[Atrix 4G General] Ronaldo_9:
i noticed it last night! also noticed video recording does not autofocus...with adeo
[Atrix 4G General] Techcruncher:
ya, but what phone has a video camera that does?
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
Right, there are a lot of stand alone cameras that don't have that feature
[Atrix 4G General] jug6ernaut:
Yes i noticed this when playing the n64 emulator, i just commented in one of the threads about it lol.

Apparently we have the same digitizer as the Nexus S. Mayb we can get the driver from it?
[Atrix 4G General] OneStepAhead:
My Evo does.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
I think the point was, most cameras on phones do not have this feature and the Atrix did not have the feature out of the box.
[Atrix 4G General] dinan:
IPhone does as well.

Anyway just tested this the bug is indeed real. This phone just has way too many issues.
[Atrix 4G General] Ronaldo_9:
...really? Galaxy S has, iphone has, n8 has...anyway there is no manual focus either on atrix. for a highend phone like this you have to be silly not to expect it.

anyways without being able to flash a kernel we wouldnt be able to do anything about multitouch far as i'm aware
[Atrix 4G General] dinan:
A bit off topic but I don't see how the nokia N8 has autofocus considering it has a "full focus" camera, aka fixed focus.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
Right, right. I might have been thinking about touch-to-focus...
[Atrix 4G General] bimmerboii:
Off topic... but full focus isnt the same as fixed focus. N8 has auto focus and C7, E7 has fixed focus
[Atrix 4G General] hotleadsingerguy:
I noticed this playing Dungeon Defenders before. Kind of a pain...waiting for some kind of hack/patch
[Atrix 4G General] aszrael1266:
Same here it hasn't been that bad just my little guy would stop for a sec and I would have to lift my finger and push the virtual d pad again.
[Atrix 4G General] Whipon:
Is this bug fixable by software?.

Or is hardware related and will never be fixed?.
[Atrix 4G General] jug6ernaut:
as i stated earlier.... i believe the atrix has the same digitizer as the nexus s. So posibly we could get the driver from the nexus s and try it...
[Atrix 4G General] BravoMotorola:
OMG I was wondering this while playing MARIO CART 64! You press B to go but you have to use the trackpad and 12 after the race starts, I always come to a stop and everyone passes me:(

LOL I sound like a dumbass kid now...but seriously, this is very very annoying...

The only work around I saw for Mario Cart was to use the Accelerometer sensor for the trackpad. Which is under Settings>Input Settings then Use sensor as-trackpad.

But this is defiantly an annoyance to other applications too...it really needs to be fixed.
[Atrix 4G General] Ronaldo_9:
its a software thing
[Atrix 4G General] Techcruncher:
lol the more we discover about this phone, the worse it gets
[Atrix 4G General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
ok. this is very stupid. how can a state of the art hardware be this stupid ? wtf moto ?
[Atrix 4G General] swanga:
..................
[Atrix 4G General] Arichman:
Glad the bug I found is generating a discussion. Not sure why another thread had to be made to do so. I also don't understand why I was accused of posting something that had already been posted followed by my thread being closed. If you look at the time stamps my thread was clearly first not to mention the fact that the first post in this thread mentions mine. So I don't really understand why mine was closed.
[Atrix 4G General] TheLlamaGod:
can anyone confirm if it is indeed a software issue?
[Atrix 4G General] theonedub:
Think the mods goofed on that one.

Sent from my Atrix
[Atrix 4G General] aywen89:
damn,i got the bug too.nowonder everytime i play my games,the touch screen start to behave funny.
[Atrix 4G General] jug6ernaut:
Just a note to OP and all, this bug is not specific to the multi touch only. It also happens if you are just one finger.
[Atrix 4G General] Whipon:
T___T

Damn. That sucks!.

I hope this issue gets fixed somehow. Can't understand how this phone winned the CES with all these issues. Fortunatelly, this is the only issue I have.
[Atrix 4G General] :
Why would you go with Apple the iphones have a fair share of problems as well.

I mean look at Antennagate or try taking a picture with flash on the iphone its oddly placed and reflects off of the chrome rim. I have an iphone4 and I am getting my Atrix soon. I understand the Atrix seems buggy and all but it depends what you want.

Less features/Less sophistication = No Bugs

More features/More sophistication = Bugs.

I am not defending Motorola I mean the OG Droid was crazy solid I think there riding too high on the success of the OG Droid thinking they can get away with half-assed phones with no QA testing.

My point of view here might be confusing I think I changed my own opinion anyways.
[Atrix 4G General] :
I can't reproduce the issue. I tried it in the browser. Held with two fingers for 12 seconds, still worked after. Then tried 20 seconds, still worked.

I have the Bell Atrix, BTW.
[Atrix 4G General] dinan:
Download multitouch visible test in the market. You won't really notice it in the browser since it's not something you're panning around much... and the browser is laggy in the first place.
[Atrix 4G General] SpeeDemon:
I have the Bell Atrix and also have this issue. It was actually a stressful experience as I thought I was having brain issues. Scrolling through certain pages would cause them to bounce all over. It seems to have more issues than just this. Scrolling slowly through webpages and even just the app list can often cause them to jump around, not matching my finger input at all, then finally jumping back to where it should be.

On the plus side I have not noticed any discolouration or image ghosting on the LCD itself. I am not sure where some of the complaints come from. I am anal about things like that, and it meets all my expectations. I have played on many an LCD with ghosting, this exhibits none.

Trying to game or even just type with erratic touch responce... frustrating.

Edit: I should also say that after owning an HTC Hero, iTouch, and spending lots of time on a friends Galaxy S (same screen size), my typing on this thing is TERRIBLE. I have no idea why, but I can only equate it to the touch responce. I will mash 2 keys in a row quickly, and get different letters on the screen. Hopefully software fixes all of this. For the record, my typing on the other devices is quite good, and generally a comfortable experience.
[Atrix 4G General] softlikerose:
i am agree with you
[Atrix 4G General] Arichman:
huh... I did not think to try that when I found the bug.

By the way jug6ernaut why did you close my thread without taking the time to look at the time stamp of this thread let alone the first post? This thread was clearly posted after mine and even refers to mine in the first post. I made sure to take the time to make certain someone hadn't already posted about this bug before I posted mine and yet my thread is the one that gets closed. I'm sorry but I'm not sure how you became a moderator. That kind of thing is very bad for forums especially for newcomers like me. Most newcomers if treated like that after one of their first threads are likely to not come back. I would just like you to make certain that next time you make sure before you close a thread.

I love XDA and would hate for newcomers to be greeted like this and end up losing people who could contribute to this great community. I don't mean to be rude, I just think that moderators should be more careful and considerate before closing a thread.
[Atrix 4G General] lasersocks:
Yup, I have the same issue :(
[Atrix 4G General] quixin:
This bug causes problems with the HeyTell app (push-to-talk). In the app you push and hold a button to record your voice. EVERYTIME the Atrix will decide that your message has gone on long enough and you will be cut off mid message. The app will send the cut short message believing you have removed your finger from the button.

You're then left sending a follow up message informing the recipient that your phone sucks... :mad:
[Atrix 4G General] dperls:
I can confirm this is happening on my atrix as well. Makes playing Gun Bros and other analog touch screen games fairly annoying. Was wondering if I was retarded or something.
[Atrix 4G General] peacekeeper05:
Arg. Now i hate my atrix. It may sound im trolling but all of this bugs and the locked bootloader is driving me crazy.
[Atrix 4G General] jug6ernaut:
all of what bugs? what others?

side note can anyone confirm this being on bell version?
[Atrix 4G General] leorexz:
Does anyone believe that moto is going to fix this?!?!

I mean, it's already bad enough to have a dual-core high-end smartphone that only has pinch to zoom ( only 2 fingers being recognized, doens't matter if hardware supports more fingers, if it doens't work ), but a completely crappy touch system... :mad:

I don't really care about the locked bootloader, and i love the qHD screen, but i am not going to keep a high-end smartphone without properly working multi-touch. :(
[Atrix 4G General] Mitty1990:
Seems to happen to me random not every 10-20 secs like said in the video, doesn't bother me to much as its only happened twice that I have noticed ad a quick lift of the screen and on again, it works again.
