Got mine since launch day and I've abused it many times by trying out different roms, themes, kernels...etc and still going strong. Battery life its awesome!

Sent from my PG06100
[EVO Shift 4G General] herbthehammer:
I've had mine since the beginning and I am regretting it. My reasons are that I just couldn't get used to the small screen with my old eyes and big fingers. There's nothing wrong with the phone. The problem was my impulsive buying habits told me I needed a newer phone than the epic and evo I already owned.

Since I got an extended battery for the evo, that took care of the biggest problem. The one good thing that hardware keyboards can be used for if I don't normally use them is playing with emulators. I don't like the controls being on the screen. On a similar subject, I tested the multi touch capabilities between both evos. The original could only do two touch points on the screen simultaneously. The shift I think could do maybe four, maybe more (I forget).
[EVO Shift 4G General] DWake014:
Yep its 4 on the shift
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
Got mine two days before launch. Think it's the ISH :cool: . Hands down best phone I've had.

It's an odd question. I don't see how the question or my answer has any bearing on the subject and why anyone would care. Or why my answer is sought over the dozen Shift owners who posted prior.

[EVO Shift 4G General] ekz13:
Got two on release day, one for myself, one for the wife, we both switched out of bb's so we figured we'd NEED the kb, think we've used it like twice, onscreen is doing fine for us both. Her's is stock/unrooted, mine is rooted, flashed, kernel'd, flipped, popped, poked, etc, etc, etc you name it.. lol.. both are holding up fantastic as the day we got them, no kb wiggle, distortions of any kind. we picked up two of the HTC cases with them, and those are both holding true as of today as well), so, so far so good.

battery is actually almost as good as my bold was (almost, can't go two days mind you) but with that said, my criteria is make it from wake up/unplug to laying my head down/pluging in (which runs about 4am-10pm) and it does what it needs to do.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] xdjwillzx:
hey guys just been looking around the net and found this execellet forum :D

just wanted to know would i be able to improve my x10 mini pro battery life if i rooted my fone and what other apps would i need thanks in advanced :)
[Atrix 4G General] zen kun:
Im just wondering if we can do a "Battery meter" or measure several users so we can know if our battery its calibrated or in good conditions. we just need after factory reset or maybe freezing almost all apps

so how?

we can try use streaming a video max bright for lets say 5 or 10 minutes? and show how much drop, to get a measurement we can use circle battery widget to show 1% by 1% in this way we can get data if we have a "rogue" app or battery drain for some app

we can start from 100 or 99% and then stream the video and see how much drop? i will try asap when i get at home and i will do factory reset so anyone interesting on this?
[LG Optimus 2x] mrBira:
Hello

Ever since i first got this phone, i have had some sdcard issues.

Sometimes the external card is not present, and i must remove the backplate and remove / insert thecard again for it to show up.

I know other who had this also, but never heard about a sollution.

Have YOU?
[LG Optimus 2x] waipan:
You don't have to remove the backover and reinsert it.

You can mount the micro-sd via "Settings" -> "SD card & phone storage" -> "Mount External SD card".
[LG Optimus 2x] davjan:
mount sd card in settting or if that does not work , reboot phone and card will be found
[LG Optimus 2x] mrBira:
Actually not. Normaly, if there was no problem, that‘s what i would do.

Now the only thing i can do is:

1. Remove the card and insert it (no reboot needed)

Or

2. Shutdown the phone completely (not reboot) and start up again.
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
I have exactly the same problem... maybe 3 or 4 times so far... including this morning.

Except, this morning my _ExternalSD/ had 1 dir (DCIM - empty) and 1 file (mine) and nothing else! I put it in a card reader and everything was there, put it back in my phone and everything was there. I was a little scared!
[LG Optimus 2x] albireox:
The same problem here with a Kingston cat. 4 16Gb card. Sometimes after restarting the phone, it can't see my card and I have to shutdown the phone and reinsert the card to work again. Any clues?

[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] Dread 7us:
This of course is a purple sense theme for the ladies. Two versions available; deodex (NFX) and odex (MikShift). Theme also includes custom font (Doctor Jekyll) and bootanimation (dancing droid). There are some different shades of purple included in the theme (tried to keep them as close as I could). Couple things still green but for the most part its purple. I haven't tested the MikShift version so if anyone tries it let me know how it works. A big thanks to sublime1184 for the progress bars! If you don't like the included font then just flash Default Fonts included below.

Credits:

Instructions:

Make a nandroid just in case. Use CWM 2.5 or 3.x to flash (uses edify scripting). Busybox must be installed to flash. Flash over modified stock ROM. It will not work if flashed over Sprint stock ROM. Flashing ROM then theme without booting first will result in boot loop. Flash ROM boot phone then flash theme. Theme Eraser available for a deodex ROM.

The purple tone I picked for the volume was based off your screenie and I think it blends bad but I'm not sure if it is because of the clock widget being in the background or the pop up background. Tonight I'll make some more variations with lighter tones if anyone wants em.

HTC clock/weather widget

I applied this theme on my wife phone this morning, I'm betting she's gonna love it. Two problems thought, your screen shots showed the clock/weather widget in purple, but it stayed the default colors on my wife's shift?

I think I see what you did. Is that Beautiful widgets, just using a purple clock skin on the home weather widget?

I have also noticed that the "3G" icon on the notification bar does not show an indicator for data in and out, just says 3G
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] Dread 7us:
Yep, beautiful widgets. And the "3G" does change colors for data in and out. Both 3G for data in and out and seperate letters highlighted for data out or in. Its a subtle highlight but its definitely there.

Ive had my unit for about a month and i only have about 320 mb free from ios after hitting task killer. At work, we have the same phone that doesnt have much on it, non-rooted, and i was able to get 418mb free.

How much do y'all have in your rooted and unrooted phones?
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
iOS is what Apple uses on their iphones, ipads, and ipod touch.

From what I've read on XDA, Android OS manages memory pretty good and there's no need for task killers.

I have a task killer because unrooted the thing becomes sluggish. It frees up some ram because you can never have enough!

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raphytaffy:
I ordered my phone from Let's Talk (not sure if I'm allowed to link) and selected the upgrade option. Upon receiving my phone, it was activated as a new number. I went to the Verizon store and they said I would have to contact Let's Talk since they were the ones with my contract. I contacted Let's Talk and found out that they're not authorized to do early upgrades. Long story short, I've just received my phone and now I have to send it back to them.

I would just like to know if, out of those of you who purchased the phone through Amazon, anyone was eligible for an early upgrade. Is Amazon able to process early upgrades? Extremely furious that I went with the cheaper $175 option since Amazon was out of stock and the price is now raised to $200. Please let me know. Thanks.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irod87:
In my experience the only one who can do an early or annual upgrade is a verizon store or verizon.com

helped me last time.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreoide:
Though recuva is very good in retreiving files from fromatted media, it is not the answer to his question.

His question was: Is there a way to UN-FORMAT a microsd card.

Recuva scans the formatted card, finds files and asks for a place on your PC to place the found and restored files in. Recuva does this job very well. BUT one thing recuva does not do is: Restoring the Root-tree.... And that suuuucks badly because you now have a map whit 100.000 files in it. Some sub-maps filled with files but you are not able to rebuild the tree to place it back to the SD memorycard.

So therefor i think the O.P. asked if there is a way to UN-FORMAT a microSD card...

And the question is still unanswered.

(Yes i can google, so that is not the answer where we are waiting for.....)

I have a Android Dev Phone 1 which I think is the G1.

Let me know if more information I needed.

Thanks.

G1 is meaningless.

If its bone stock, it probably has 0.95.3000 SPL and either a 1.x or 2.x radio. Make sure you upgrade the radio to the latest one available at developer.htc.com/adp.html -- then read everything in the DREAM forums.

[Fascinate General] xHoLyx:
Honestly, Samsung has the best phone, no doubt. One mistake they've made is not updating Frequently.

Since, Bionic is not released yet, I will compare Galaxy II and Atrix 4g

Samsung Galaxy S II vs Motorola Atrix

First the “Samsung Galaxy S2″ aka the “Samsung Seine I9100″. Second the Samsung Seine come with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) latest OS available so you don’t have to wait for the update like the Motorola Atrix w/Android 2.2 (Froyo) customers have too. Third let’s get the facts on the CPU & GPU issue straight. The Samsung Seine has a ARM Cortex A9 Dual-Core 1GHz Orion (Exynos 4210) CPU with a Mali-T604 Quad-Core GPU that produces 133Million Triangles/Sec vs. Motorola Atrix has a ARM Cortex A9 Dual-Core 1GHz AP20H CPU with a NVIDIA Tegra 2 ULP GeForce GPU that produces 90 Million Triangles/Sec.

The Samsung Seine has a 4.3″ WSVGA Super AMOLED Plus w/Gorilla Glass and 2 Billion Display Colors vs. Motorola Atrix has a 4.0″ WVGA TFT LCD w/Gorilla Glass and 520 Million Display Colors. The Samsung Seine has an primary 8 MP, 3264×2448 pixels, autofocus, LED flash w/Geo-tagging, touch focus, face and smile detection, image stabilization and 1080p@30fps video vs. Motorola Atrix has a 5 MP, 2592х1944 pixels, autofocus, LED flash w/Geo-tagging, image stabilization and 720p@30fps video. Samsung Seine has a USB 3.0 and Bluetooth 3.0 vs. Motorola Atrix with USB 2.0 and Bluetooth 2.1. So in the end the Details do matter when you’re making a choice between these two top notch Smartphone’s. Personally it’s evident the Samsung Seine or as the editors call it the Samsung Galaxy S2 be the victor.As for software that’s a personal preference but the hardware facts don’t lie.

Samsung For Life :D
[Fascinate General] lane32x:
After reading these specs, I think I just pooped a little.

Hmm. I have family members on my plan who don't seem like they are going to be using their upgrade any time soon. I may have to look into this as an option eventually. Of course seeing as how the Fascinate was my first jump to Android and I waited a year after I was eligible for an upgrade, you can tell that I'm a patient person; so I may just see what comes around next year.
[Fascinate General] Kaze105:
If you are on verizon, may as well wait a max of a year so that there is a better phone and a better LTE coverage.

Edit: Actually found out you live fairly close to me. if you want to sell the phone, contact me.
[Fascinate General] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
it is offical samsung is releasing bootloaders. supercurio was posting on twitter about this earlier this afternoon. as much as i loved samsung phones, i lept over to htc and will never look back. i def recommend every1 on here looking 4 a new phone goes to htc. the entire process of root is all around safer and u have less chance 4 brick. goto www.htc.com and checkout the evo 3d. 1st phone to use 3d. plus it has a built in 3d camera. looks awesome. and def my next phone purchase
[Fascinate General] piperat:
Thats all fine and dandy. Samsung is following suit and is using bootloaders too according to supercurio. Maybe if ppl would shoot down Motos bootloaders other manufactures wouldn't use them too. Doesn't matter now. It's only a matter of time and rooting will be a thing of the past because not enough ppl are standing up to protect our open source market we so dearly love.
[Fascinate General] bobloblaw1:
Sigh =(

Well, at the very least I won't be trading in my fascinate for at least a year or so. For day to day tasks, this phone is fast enough and then some.

In the future I wonder if the smartphone market will become segmented somewhat like the PC hardware market (simplified):

1. Hardcore build your-own enthusiasts/gamers

Willing to shell out the big bucks for the fastest hardware that go well beyond normal tasks such as web, email, and word processing. This level won't filter down to the mainstream for years and years (For example most mainstream desktops still have integrated video)

2. Mainstream

Powerful to spare to do day to day tasks but will choke on any advanced graphics.

3. Budget

Small, light and sometimes a little laggy.

Geez, maybe the market is like this already....

But seriously, I will stick with whatever hardware provider allows custom ROMS. I will never buy an iPhone and likewise I won't purchase an Android device locked down like one.
[Fascinate General] piperat:
I dont want a locked down phone either. Has far as i know htc and lg are the few left who doesnt do it.

Even though I love my phone, I really hate Samsung's support after the initial selling. Even with bootloader, Moto phones have better support. Bootloader shouldn't be in your way because each Moto phones have had fantastic developers and wonderful roms.

[Fascinate General] jenisiz:
I don't think it's as much the manufacturer as it is the carrier requesting boot loaders....this is common sense. Surprised you haven't caught on...you should be contacting verizon. Afterall, I'm willing to bet less then 1% of you actually paid for this phone anyways.

Edit: And let me clear it up now...paying 200 bucks for an upgrade or signing up for a new contract is not paying for this phone. It is in the carriers best interests to include bootloaders. It cuts down on faulty insurance claims and reCOCKulous calls to customer support. They will save money NOT dealing with the .005% of rooters.

Because i get a new phone everybyear i have to always pay full price. I only paid a little over 500 dollars for the fasinate. I also paid about the same for the og droid.
