UPDATE (4th April 2011):

We are now at ~7600 mark.

We're starting to slow down from our initial boom, so I have now set up a Facebook page to see if we can wrangle in some supporters that don't use Twitter or XDA.

I will need your help getting this out there. So share the facebook page where you can.

Motorola is now aware of the petition!

Yeah, of course Moto's gonna unlock the bootloader after we signed this petition. :D

[Milestone 2 General] piperat:
Thanks to everyone for their support. Motos ways are bleeding off onto other manufacturers. Thunderbolt and the new samsung have signed bootloaders now. We have over 6500 sigs and hoping engadget will pick this up. We will hopefully succeed in letting these manufacturers know that we wont stand for it.

[Atrix 4G General] zen kun:
hi i bough my atrix on USA and seems battery its wrong since i charge and gets pretty hot, in iddle state drops like 2% every hour even using setcpu to underclock. and in airplane mode last night went from 100 to 86% in 6 hours :( so i will change in radioshack USA im in mexico so its pretty difficult i will try send to my unlce and see if he can exchange device, but im wondering there is any "restriction" before send it? maybe they will say we cant we will charge or idk i have the ticket of purchase. so any recomendations i will apreciate

Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] link12245:
they only warrant for 30 days. At&t would warrant the rest of the one year warranty, but since your not using yours on at&t you have no warranty. If you call motorola, they will tell you to call at&t.
[Atrix 4G General] zen kun:
oh ok im in time i guess, i use unlocked code i hope this have nothing to do with warranty, or they just check and then repair? or change of phone?? or just change battery? just to know before send.

Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] alphadog00:
try a reset first - you probably have some application causing your issues.
[Atrix 4G General] zen kun:
yea a tried already :( i will try tomorrow a hard reset and not leave any app and just use it music over bluetooth to see how it works :(

btw maybe its battery?maybe replace this would work? or could be teh device?
[Atrix 4G General] darkkterror:
Uuumm...no. The phone has a 1 year warranty from Motorola. AT&T does not offer their own warranties on phones. They do, however, generally offer expedited warranty exchanges if the manufacturer's warranty is still in effect. The OP should have no problem getting Motorola to offer warranty repair/replacement.
[Atrix 4G General] zen kun:
thanks would be amazing if i can get warranty on my country instead send to usa :(
[Atrix 4G General] k00ey:
How does your battery jump from 100% to 86%? I was under the impression that the atrix only goes by 10% increments?
[Atrix 4G General] zen kun:
yes but you can use battery circle widget it shows 1%
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
you're complaining about a 2% battery drop PER HOUR? seriously? and a 14% drop in 6 hours in airplane mode?

IMO nothing's wrong with your device. having it on will drain the battery, regardless if you turn off your radios.
[Atrix 4G General] zen kun:
well i have read several heavy usages ,and my nexus in airplane mode just drain 1% four hour i usually get BT headset playing music a little twitter and email and 2 hours later its like 65%

[Captivate General] jerseykirby:
Am I wrong that I now have an Inspire and am debating coming back to the Captivate? Lmao, but I honestly miss the ese of the device. Never had to worry so much about charging my battery and honestly the screen was better then the Inspire. I don't know maybe it is just me but I am seriously considering it.
[Captivate General] emuneee:
Yea a Captivate, running a custom ROM, is better than the Inspire 4G IMO.
[Captivate General] jerseykirby:
Just like I thought, man sometimes I wonder why I got this phone to begin with. The 4G is a joke and I always seem to have an issue with my email with this damn phone. Captivate here I come............
[Captivate General] thebone01:
I have seen so many threads of people wanting to know what to get next...they all seem to end up in the same place. STAY WITH THE CAPPY.

Samsung Captivate

ROM: Phoenix Ultimate

Kernel: SuckerPunch-Voodoo #11

Modem: UGJL2
[Captivate General] jerseykirby:
I agree man, I should have just stayed with it. It is one bad ass phone with so much dev support it's amazing. Well it has it's flaws of course but what phone doesn't. Oh well, I have learned my lesson I suppose.
[Captivate General] dallasweb:
It's easy to get in the 'grass is greener' state of mind. Fact is, there are some amazing phones available, and future is bright. As for now, Captivate is a nice play ground. If it weren't for all the great chef's in the cappy kitchen, my eyes would wonder too :rolleyes:
[Captivate General] donharden2002:
I tried the inspire as well as the atrix and am back to using my captivate.

Neither of the other 2 in my opinion come close to the captivate. I hope att picks up their game soon with some great phones. I don't know how long my cappy will last but I plan on keeping it until it dies. Even after I buy another phone.
[Captivate General] jerseykirby:
Yea I am pretty sure after tomorrow when I go back to the Captivate I will use that until the Infuse comes out.
[Captivate General] jerseykirby:
Done and not looking back hahaha.
[Captivate General] ZeroX131:
I got an Inspire and it has fewer issues... Do you use the GPS? I prefer the Inspire just for the reason that I can not get lost... Something worth considering if you're gonna go back.
[Captivate General] Dani897:
there are reasons the the captivate is still more expensive than the inspire in many places and i dont think it is because they want to kill sales for samsung.

the inspire has a great camera, way better than htc's past attemps at 8mp, but the captivate camera aint too shabby. not as great as taking pictures of text but not bad either.

the cappy has a great screen for video and games and photos, not the greatest with small text but it's ok with me. it also makes great calls, a problem with many smart phones is that they are not great at being phones. the cappy is definately different in that area. also the hummingbird is a monster when it comes to video and graphics, and with gingerbread it is a monster all around.

all the inspire has on the cappy is the huge screen, camera flash, more ram, and hsdpa+ but no hsupa yet. so not totally an advantage. by the time att can provide hspa+ to an extent that it is worth having there will be way better phones out.

the cappy has an advantage in graphics processing, maybe speed(depends on whcih benchmark you believe) rich colors, high contrast ratio, scratch resistant screen, great phone calls, battery life especially if you have a custom rom, thinner more pocketable profile, better constuction(matter of oppinion but i think most would agree if they looked inside both) and the coolness factor that nobody knows what it is. it's like being part of a secret club.
[Captivate General] Hydro360:
I loved my cappy I was just tired of have to flash constantly for performance, maybe the infuse will be better. But then again its samsung
[Captivate General] kevalin:
I've had a couple of HTC phones, but every one of them had horrible in-call volume issues... and that, when it all comes down to it, is what a phone is for, after all. I actually exchanged my first Aria in the hope that it would be better, but no go. Granted, the Captivate has it's issues (I wish the camera had a flash), but the work the devs have done to make it a better phone are amazing. And being able to tinker with it satisfies my geeklet yearnings.

I wouldn't trade my Cappy for anything out there at the moment.
[Captivate General] shadow65781:
I had the Inspire and have only one complaint, I couldnt find the auto answer, so I gave it to my wife, nothing wrong with it its a great phone in 6 months I may revisit it after the devs have lots of roms to flash,lol

captivate with cog 4
[Captivate General] jerseykirby:
Yea I will never knock the phone it is a sweet device. I may go back one day especially since a great dev went over to the Inspire.
[Captivate General] Nick James:
iPhone4- the only way to go
[Captivate General] brd912:
Give you my cappy for the inspire lol.
[Captivate General] jerseykirby:
Well I don't have the Inspire anymore lol.
[Captivate General] nickm50:
That's a joke right?
[Captivate General] Caliesv:
Haha!!! I tell people if they want a simple phone and not a technical person, AT ALL, and just want a phone to use, then get an Iphone.

Anyways, what I wanted to say: my cappy is the longest phone ive ever kept. I was surprised that I haven't wanted another phone yet.
[Captivate General] Twicebak3d:
Absolutely not. Cappys are amazing... as long as there's a section for it in XDA. I don't think dev support is going anywhere anytime soon either. I couldn't get past leaving SAMOLED... I just couldn't sleep at night :P
[Captivate General] Nick James:
I was def joking :)
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
Depends on when the International SGS 2 drops. ;)

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate General] Twicebak3d:
You know... I retract my previous statement in regards to SAMOLED. I think I could live with going to SAMOLED+ :P
[Xoom General] streetmapp:
I'm not sure if this is an issue in how my works Wi-Fi is set up and prohibiting me from connecting appropriately or if it's the Market itself.

Anyway I just got my Wi-Fi Xoom in today and immediately went to configure it to get apps and what not. I'm connected to my offices wi-fi and can browse the web, and get applications from Amazon's app store.

:

-- selecting apps to download/install doesn't do anything. The selected app won't show in "My Apps" I can't even get Maps to update.

Then randomly, the apps I have tried to download will somehow show themselves in "My Apps" under downloading, but they don't progress at all.

I've already tried to wipe it, close and wipe data from the market app, all to no avail. I'm really not sure what is going on.

The week prior I was using a colleagues xoom (3g version but 3g disabled), and had a similar problem as well, but eventually I had it working. I was given permission to wipe it and set it up as my own, so I don't know if the settings are messing with it from me using the other xoom with the same google account.

My office uses WPA2 Enterprise with a username and password, and have it set up in my Xoom as

Security: 802.1x EAP

EAP method: PEAP

Phase 2 Auth: None

Then my username and pass to connect.
[Xoom General] coreyzw:
Just curious... but because you are using the Amazon app store, have you checked the box "install from unknown sources"?
[Xoom General] streetmapp:
Correct. Since that's what allows for the apps to be installed from Amazon App Store.
[Xoom General] coreyzw:
Have you either used a file manager or plugged it into the USB on your computer, checked the root>downloads folder for the .apk files?
[Xoom General] streetmapp:
The only .apk files in there are the amazon app store.
[Xoom General] coreyzw:
Dunno what the problem could be then since its not a setting, but perhaps its a firewall issue in your office? Have you tried a different wifi connection completely to rule that out?
[Xoom General] emonero:
It is a firewall issue....I ran into the same problem when setting up a xoom in our network...
[Xoom General] streetmapp:
That's the only possibility I can think of. I've tried to share out my laptops connect see if going through that way would work, but no dice. Then using PdaNet on my iPhone, but won't even discover that network. I'll just have to wait till I get home.
[Xoom General] jiwengang:
At the apps download screen, try to hit cancel and download again, will that help?
[Xoom General] streetmapp:
Nope. The apps show the "install" option and then would sometimes go to downloading under "my apps" but then other times it won't do a thing.
[Xoom General] ThePacha:
Is not a network problem since i try in 3 different networks personals, corporate and tethering from Nexus S via T-mobile, here is a copy from Market help forums since i cant paste links in the forums.

70% of the apps don't install in the Android Market or give messages of unsupported carrier.
[Xoom General] coreyzw:
If the issue you are having relates to your location being in PR.. how would you go about guessing that the OP is from PR as well?
[Xoom General] ThePacha:
I know but in the Support forums there are others in the US whit the same problem, anyway i've never had issues in the market in the past with my G1 and Nexus S.
[Xoom General] coreyzw:
Still waiting to see if the OP posts whether his problem was related to the wifi at his work, or if he is still having issues.. and what his locale would be.
[Xoom General] streetmapp:
Sorry for the late response as once I got home I was busy playing with my Xoom and then today was actually trying to get some work done :P.

So it's pretty much resolved at this point.

1) I'm in the states. Northeast to be somewhat exact.

2) Definitely my work's network. As soon as I connected to my home network all of the apps I tried to install at work but weren't showing up, queued right up and got to downloading.

Come in to work today, and try downloading an app. And wouldn't you know it, the damn thing downloaded and installed just fine! It seemed like another one was going to resort back to the results I had yesterday, but tried again and it worked fine. Definitely odd.

Not sure if there was some sort of handshake that wasn't working with my xoom and the Android market while in the office on first use yesterday or what, but things are looking good now.

Thanks for your responses. While nothing was done from what I can see to fix it, I appreciate the help.
[Nook Color General] capslockmat1:
Hi.. I searched a lot about this topic and every material is scattered here and there.

I have assembled steps that I followed which might help others.

I am not a android techie so some words may be technically incorrect:

I am a new user and so this forum is not letting me put links.. so using a workaround..!

Here are the Steps:

1. Install HoneyComb on micro SD card using:

forum.androidcentral.com/barnes-noble-nook-color/57500-how-download-install-honeycomb-nook-color-sd-card.html

2. Just install adb:

addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/

3. Setup communication with adb with nook color:

youtube.com/watch?v=wL3849_QPGA&feature=fvsr

4. Use HoneyGApps.v2 to install android market, gtalk, gmail etc.

[Nook Color General] kdeguy:
thanks for the collection
[Nook Color General] MadTalDisease:
Do you know how this can be done on a Mac?

When I try to use adb on the Mac Terminal, I get the error message "device not found"

But if I use adb on my Droid, it works perfectly fine.
[LG Optimus 2x] Fuse1:
I dont know if any of you new but zagg has already a skin for our mobile:)

the screen protection in my opinion is bad (orange skin texture....) but the rest of the protection (the back and side) is good i mean...to me it doesn metter the texture in the rest of the phone (just in the screen) i will order the Full Body Maximum Coverage.:D

www*.zagg.*com/invisibleshield/lg-optimus-2x-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.*php

take the * to see the link

sorry for my bad english:S
[LG Optimus 2x] janyung:
do think twice before applying it....

cus it was too sticky, and my last experience is it tear off the original coating when i put it off..........

may be they have improved it and may be the optimus can tolerate such stickiness....

but think twice..... and good luck...
[LG Optimus 2x] Fuse1:
In my previous phone (samsung i8910) i have used it and nothing to blame except the orange texture on the screen and removed it with no problem at all. Maybe your protection had a defect....dont know its odd :S

still waiting for it:(
[LG Optimus 2x] plopsies:
do you know if the display skin covers de curved glass on the edges of the display?
[LG Optimus 2x] wh1tekn1ght:
FYI, my experience with ZAGG products has never been spectacular. It's a soft plastic that is sticky on the outer side and get easily damaged.
[LG Optimus 2x] Fuse1:
i think it doesn't you can see it on the pictures in zagg's website. still wating for it..i think it will never came:(
[LG Optimus 2x] Fuse1:
yeah, you are right...but for the back of the phone i think its fine;)
[LG Optimus 2x] aze2:
I'have it with my LG Optimus 2x, I bought only the screen protector.

Very good skin from screen, I've use Zagg from my HTC Hero.

For the Optimus 2x, a case with a kick are available on expansys for $20
[LG Optimus 2x] lozza69er:
I always use zagg protectors for my gadgets, never had a problem with them. They remove easy leaving no sticky stuff behind, and the front protector fits perfectly to the curved screen.
[LG Optimus 2x] xrockyx:
So you have a screenprotector from Zagg that fits to the curved screen???
[LG Optimus 2x] lozza69er:
Yep sure do, I got the full body protection. Fits perfect.
[LG Optimus 2x] xrockyx:
these are good news. can you please make some pictures of your phone? especially of the display and the back of the phone. thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] Fuse1:
+1 it would be great:)
[LG Optimus 2x] mintjustin:
I had a Zagg screen protection on my old HTC Desire and didn't like it one bit. It was not "invisible" at all and felt overall sticky and soft.
[LG Optimus 2x] TrueSTed:
yea would be nice to see how it looks
[LG Optimus 2x] Maliacrete:
I just got my full body today. I have been using the Zagg ones for my last three phones. I have tried to put it on the LG but but the small front left cut (the censors are) was supposed to be left behind when you pill the shield out but it didnt, this meat I had to pill it out on my own which took a lot of efford. I have taken the shiels out because the inside is now not as clear as it was when I first pilled it off. Any one any idea how to clean the screen side of the shield?
[LG Optimus 2x] Omega89:
Installed Zagg Invisible Shield screen protector.

As people have mentioned it has a texture like an orange skin.

It's kinda "sticky" and adds alot of friction for the screen.

I don't mind the downsides since it fits really good and the screen is really well protected now.

To sum up: this product isn't for you if frictionless usage is important for you :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Sheppie:
Is it possible to get the original LG screen protector. I have a little scratch on it right in the middle and it is annoying.

I don't know if a new screen protector will help but is it possible?

EDIT

I've been searching around and at the G2x forum's they want screen protectors from phantom skinz, martin fields and Clarivue protector. The phantom skinz protector on the website is only for the G2x, but the O2x and the G2x look the same right? Only the software is a bit different.

Any thoughts

Im using ZAGG invisibleSHIELD on my screen. Im whery happy whit it. I had ZAGG invisibleSHIELD full cover on my old SE W995 also. It was like new after two yeas.

Has anyone been able to sucessfully swapped the bad screen phone for a good one with HTC?

I am asking because I have a bad screen one and I would like to do it.

Thank you in advance for the reply.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustk1ll20:
i seen a poll here the other day about this. some one posted up the percentages for getting a good screen back from HTC and T-mobile. both were pretty high. i got mine first MT4G march 11th with a good screen from radioshack.

shouldnt cost anything since your going through warranty so shouldnt hurt to atleast go ahead and try.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camalus:
I swapped my wife's. Told them people couldn't hear me. They called me to see how clear it was.. I put a wad of toilet paper over the mic to muffle my voice. They next day aired me a new one. Was sweet.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brazzle:
Shouldn't be an issue to get a new screen/phone. It was a pretty popular issue that they were aware of.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcos.lennis:
Thank you all for your responses. I will definitely give it a shot today. How much difference can you notice from the bad and the good screen?

Lol!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Just sent one directly to HTC (bought second hand) a week ago. It's already on the way back. I've complained about the screen visibility from the sides and in bright daylight, and attached a note with one of the screen comparison pics found on the net. I'll see what screen I get in a few days.
