[Thunderbolt General] nkd:
I have a thunderbolt and I love it. I don't understand the love for the build quality. The charge looks clean an hell and yes it uses a plastic back, but thunderbolt probably the worst build quality phone I have tried in a while. The phone feels like it was slapped together in a hurry. The whole phone squeaks all the time when I press to clean the screen, feels like the sides are going to break. The light leaking from the bottom seal, no I am not talking about looking at it from top. I dont have it but I have seen plenty of people including one of my friends have that problem.

Radio issues are all at verizon's end, you can blame big red for not getting their act together, I still dont get good 4g at my house even though I am in the dead center of coverage. I do however get great 4g everywhere else I am suppose to get 4g.

I think charge has very good build quality.

Thunderbolt a good phone but not so great build quality. Stand peeling off, Light leaking through the bottom edge, screen is not flushed against the sides, I had water get in on top while trying to install zag screen protector but it only got behind the verizon logo and didn't get on the screen.

I look at the evo, the screen looks like it blends in with the body of the phone alot better than it does with the thunderbolt. Few of my friends have it, the glass quality used on the evo looks much superior than the thunderbolt.
[Thunderbolt General] Howler718:
My Thunderbolt has none of those issues. Coming from the Atrix its a tank in the best possible way.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
I wouldnt switch for the Charge. The thunderbolt to me is damn near perfect. Plus I would never get a Samsung phone due to their lack of actually caring about a phone for more than a week.
[Thunderbolt General] eallan:
You're are me. I feel the exact same and have both phones.
[Thunderbolt General] eallan:
Man I disagree with every word you said. Plus the charge is hideous.
[Thunderbolt General] chaoscentral:
You are about 17 days passed the return policy, you definitely weren't gonna get a free swap to a more expensive phone no matter how much u complained. The most they would have done is replaced ur current one under warranty. Lol
[Thunderbolt General] Breezer23:
I know... But if you don't ask you'll never know. I bought this phone using my sister's upgrade since she couldn't afford it. Plan is to use my upgrade once the Galaxy S II comes out and give this to her at that point.
[Thunderbolt General] Old MuckenMire:
You think you've seen ugly, check out the Charge with the extended battery in it. Scroll down to post #15 in this link:

http://forum.androidcentral.com/sam...-battery-life-shorter-than-thunderbolt-2.html

Makes the Thunderbolt with it's extended battery look freaking beautiful. :D I actually burst out laughing when I saw those pics. I can't believe people will actually pay money to carry that ugly phone around...I mean...DAMN it's ugly before the extended battery, but in those pics it's hideous :D
[Thunderbolt General] Xirix12:
Man all this talk about the tb's build quality is really hard to understand for me. I love the quality and if it werent for wanting to keep my phones in good condition. I would rock it without a case to show it off. Shes a beauty.

I paid full retail for mine the day it launched and since then i have been able to sleep at night. Even with that ugly charge from a non supportive manufacturer being announced. And it does look uglier with extended battery. I didn't think it could look uglier. Coming from 4 years of RIM brainwash im more than happy with my ThunderBolt.
[Thunderbolt General] eallan:
Oh my god that's awful.
[Thunderbolt General] Immolate:
I've heard of a butterface before, but the Charge is an "everything butterface" of the phone world. Egads, it looks like one of those concept cars you look at and hope they never actually make.

I do hope Samsung starts making phones with excellent build quality because it will benefit us all if we have more alternatives, but until they do I don't think I'll own another one.
[Thunderbolt General] junjlo:
no sure I agree with you man the TB feels solid to me Ive tried the charge and it felt dinky and at any moment was gonna break love the build style of the TB. All of this could also be that i am HTC fan boy so ya. the light leaks ya Ive noticed it doesn't bother me to much.

curse you so i went and re looked at the phone and ya i can see where ur coming from still love the phone.
[Thunderbolt General] 0mie:
I like the look of the extended battery, I have grown fond of it using it on my Thunderbolt...so this won't be a big change on the Droid Charge :)
[Thunderbolt General] ERIFNOMI:
Are you looking at the same pictures as I am? That makes the thunderbolt extended battery look beautiful.
[Thunderbolt General] crazed_z06:
Id happily take a charge over my TB if the Charge actually worked as advertised.

Ive tired of the tbolt's fail. Can barely use the thing with Android System eating all the CPU and battery..

Ill try to make due until the day that the bionic gets here.. whenever that might be..
[Thunderbolt General] dirtyfingers:
Wow, that is the ugliest phone I think ive ever seen. That extended battery is just ridiculous.
[Thunderbolt General] xeene:
I've had that exact problem after recent update where android system would use 60-70% battery while phone was idle. Fixed that by pulling the battery and now phone lasts longer then prior to the update.

Tapatalked from Thunderbolt
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
Three letters explain why you should not walk away, but run from the Charge.

Rfs.

Its the equivalent of trying to piss a watermelon out of your peehole.
[Thunderbolt General] Xirix12:
Oh thats right, its going to be laggy! Forget the looks of the device I will be staying away from lag!!
[Thunderbolt General] m00nshake:
Damn in the first picture I thought I was looking at the base of a.vacuum cleaner...
[Thunderbolt General] mitchell4500:
The rfl is horrible. Some people will buy the phone thinking it's super fast because it's 4g. What they don't understand is 4g is just the data speeds. Not the phone it's self.

Posted from my thunderbolt.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
The ril it's horrible? What are you talking about? If your talking about slayhers ril you better shut up as it's the best we have right now and works amazingly for how long this phone has been out. The incredible didn't even have root this far in!
[Thunderbolt General] suzook:
Lmao!......
[Thunderbolt General] mitchell4500:
Meant rfl, fixed.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
Okay good, lol.
[Thunderbolt General] nmyeti:
The buttons and corners on the charge make it ugly, Samsung makes it undesirable. I want nothing to do with their file system, touchwiz or lack if updates. If this phone were a galaxy s 2 based device, maybe, because the screen, and dual core processor could make it easier to stomach, but as it is, I don't need another fascinate.
[Thunderbolt General] broadwayblues:
Um, what does RFS mean? Sorry for the noob question.
[Thunderbolt General] Immolate:
RFS or "Robust File System". The technical definition is that you'll have to ROM it for your phone to be useful.

In nautical terms its like putting one mast on a frigate.
[Thunderbolt General] tazzpatriot:
wow chill out .. this couldn't have been asked in the form of a question? Typos do happen..then he says he changed it and u say ok ? How about thank u. And sorry about being a asshole ?
[Thunderbolt General] papi92:
Galaxy s2 is ext 4. So that will be my next phone if it's lte
[Thunderbolt General] Daswolven:
Having been on the Fascinate since release, I can say I will never, ever touch another Sammy phone. You couldn't give me one.

The TW interface is estrogen laced iPhonesque lag ridden garbage. If not for the devs, the phone wouldn't be usable.

I'm dying to get my TB. I have regretted this thing since I sold my N1. Every phone has a "i hate my phone" thread like this, but seriously, don't expect to move from an HTC to a Sammy phone and enjoy it.

Not gonna happen.

Display is gorgeous tho.
[Thunderbolt General] Breezer23:
I don't hate the phone by any means. Mom got the Charge today and the dock for it is so cool and the screen is incredible. Touch wiz is rather laggy but that was nothing ADW couldn't fix.
[Thunderbolt General] Breezer23:
Amen brother
[Thunderbolt General] j.price:
3 tbolts in a month all same issues, they are replacing with iPhone 4
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
Well I mean that is a downgrade. Have fun being brainwashed.
[Thunderbolt General] j.price:
I agree but I just need a phone I can rely on
[Thunderbolt General] Daswolven:
O-o

Every post you have is about how you wound up with it because they didn't have an iPhone, or you trying to sell it to buy an iPhone.

I'm not hating, I mean I believe your lifestyle choice is genetic dude.

I will say no one fu%#ing cares tho.
[Thunderbolt General] j.price:
Network is super crappy here
[Thunderbolt General] dopediculous:
The charge is nothing more than a 4G fascinate. Stupid.... Plus it already has known issues before it launched yesterday.
[Thunderbolt General] Breezer23:
It seems most the phones Verizon releases these days have issues lol.

Wish there an approximate date on the Samsung Galaxy S II!
[Thunderbolt General] Nikolai2.1:
its tazz!!! :D yeah welcome to the thunderbolt section...
[Atrix 4G General] players_inc17:
Can someone post the link to flash the radio from the 4-1.8.3 UPDATE? I am on that current firmware right now but flash the 1.87 radio on top of the update to see which would give me better speeds but I find that the radio from the 1.8.3 update has better battery life

I think its 1.77.15 if im not mistaken
[Atrix 4G General] billd2439:

Thanks been looking fir that
[HTC Desire S] brownoctober:
I've had the Desire S for a month now (but currently being repaired after non-boot; irrelevant to this I think?). I notice since the first day that the text select magnifier doesn't work perfectly particularly when trying to select text on the top row. The magnifier is hidden behind my finger and doesn't reposition in the same way it does if I select text from lower down, presumably because there is space for the box to exist. Is this everyone else's experience?

Also I find that sometimes when dragging my finger around to find the end of the word I want to drop the cursor, when moving between lines, the cursor line gets lost.

I have to say I prefer the native Android text select with the big blocks for this reason.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Yep I too have found that the text selecting tool is a little buggy

As you say putting the cursor on the to line is and sometimes the start and end of lines is difficult.

Allough I've found that with practice it gets easier to use.
[HTC Desire S] Dr.Romca:
It is somewhat not thought through....I've noticed this when writing e-mail (the text starts right on the top of the screen...) but it can be easily avoided by sliding the whole window down, so you can see the addresses to send the e-mail to...it is just fine when writing SMS... I'm on 1.28.401.1 here in CZ ;)
[HTC Desire S] brownoctober:
Not just me then. Does an App exist that restores the default Android text tools? I know there's something which removes the Sense keyboard...
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
There are several Sense keyboard replacements, I use Swype, yet the text selection from Sense is still there....
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jester450:
Looking for some advise and guidance.

Flashed ROM Virtuous Fusion MT4G v1.0.2

Everything was working fine. With some of the great responses I've seen from the leaked radio 26.09.04.26, decided to test and take it for a spin.

No problems during the radio update. I'm now struggling to get any sort of data. It shows full bars of 3G and H (H majority of the time). However, just about anything that requires syncing or a data connection is failing.

Rolled back to radio 26.03.02.26 and have the same issue as the .26 radio. Also tried radio 26.08.04.30 with the same results. Tried fixing permission and still nothing. Wondering if I'm missing something or if I'm f-ed?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el-jodio:
Have you tried another fresh flash or factory reset? Other than that don't know what else to tell you. I haven't messed with the radio due to reading some have encountered your same issue.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MileHighClubAV8R:
Is there a way to deactivate the screen so you can watch video or use navigation etc without worrying about bumping the screen? It would be easier to watch a video while traveling without having to worry about it. I don't know how this would work- how you would reactivate the screen, etc. but this would be a useful feature for those of us on the run or for those of us with kids (watch cartoons, etc.)
[Dell Streak 7] Kealan:
See title. Using Win7, 64-bit. I've tried with the most current version, as well as the revision 3. I go to device manager, choose "Dell Streak7" (under "Other Devices"), choose "Update Driver Software", point it to the correct folder, and it tells me there are no available driver files there. Streak is in debug mode, no driver is currently installed. Can't root until I can get this working, can someone please help me?
[Dell Streak 7] lexingt0n:
Same for me. It seems there's no way to install usb drivers. In windows xp everything's gone ok, but in windows 7 64 bit no way to install. I am win7 64 bit and i need help :(((
[Dell Streak 7] hashbrown:
Have the DS7 plugged in to usb. Copy the Drivers.zip from internal sd card to win 7 desktop, unzip, in desktop manager browse to ADB-V1POP25 folder. Update driver.
[Dell Streak 7] lexingt0n:
Yes all steps have been done...but the result is always the same: when I search the driver and I specify the folder windows doesn't find any driver to update
[Dell Streak 7] lexingt0n:
Ok resolved. I put the ENTIRE driver folder contained inside the dell on my desktop not only the win7 64 bit folder but the full Drivers folder. So I made the procedure fir recognize the driver and I've searched inside the entire folder and.. it works now *-*
[Dell Streak 7] hashbrown:
Ahh, your win 7pc is deciding whats best for drivers. Its something that you have to disable in admin settings. Google this: "addictive tips install drivers manually windows 7" and read the instructions.

Addictive tips is the site name.

How that enlightens you.
[Dell Streak 7] lexingt0n:
Its okay now:) win7 now recognize my dell streak 7 *-*
[Dell Streak 7] joesee:
drivers.zip

I've searched XDA for a couple hours now and my 7 is stuck in CMR. Seems I can't do a factory restore until I can round up the drivers folder. I've even searched the Internet for a system dump and can't find one that actually works.. all the links are dead. Do you have the ability to upload the drivers folder even as a zip file if necessary? I'm really hoping this 7 can come back to life. Thanks in advance!!
[Dell Streak 7] lexingt0n:
It's a big package that you can find on dell.com official website in the drivers section. For now i have my notebook in assistence so i write directly from my streak 7 so i can't upload the folder. Try also with the search button on these forums.
[Dell Streak 7] buddywood:
Drivers please!?!?!

My streak will not power on or anything. All it does is light up the 3 soft keys on the right so I cant get the drivers off the sd. Can someone PLEASE post up the drivers off theirs. I'm trying everything to get them to install from the dell site but im having no luck. I need to get this fixed asap
[Dell Streak 7] AWD FTW:
This is how i solved my issue. There might be an easier way to do it but this is what worked for me.

Install Android sdk tools( would post a link but im too new)

once installed it will ask if you want to install a bunch of packages. Click Cancel.

In the android sdk and avd manager select "available packages" on the left hand side.

then you want to download

"Android SDK Tools, revision 11"

"Android SDK Platform-tools, revision 5"

"SDK Platform Android 2.2, API 8, revision 2"

"Google USB Driver PAckage, revison 4"

After all that is installed, find the root folder for which you installed the Android SDK software. Navigate through "Android-sdk>extras>google>usb_driver" In the usb_driver folder there is a setup information file called "android_winusb" Open that up in note pad and modify it like so (make a backup of the file just incase)

Now save the file and try to update your Streak 7 by right clicking computer and selecting "Manage" then you should see your Dell Streak 7 listed and right click that and select update drivers. Select to browse for the update on your computer then navigate back to "Android-sdk>extras>google>usb_driver" Select just the "usb_driver" folder so it goes through all the subfolders in it and bam your device drivers should be installed and updated. This worked for me. Hopefully it will work for you too.
[Dell Streak 7] NarkyMark:
Windows - Dell Streak Drivers

...Chill guys :D

DS7 Drivers

If these don't work, and as a last resort, try installing the NERO software off the dell site!

Here

If that doesn't work, I ain't got a Scooby Doo :D
[Dell Streak 7] helluvamatt:
Mirroring the Drivers.zip file because you shouldn't ever use MegaUpload.

Where do you get off making me wait 41 seconds to download a file and then popping up an adult ad. Piss off MegaUpload.

[Droid X General] smyers1012:
Has anyone gotten this yet? I am still waiting for my update anyone know of the news?
[Droid X General] baretoes:
Nothing yet. I wouldn't hold my breath.
[Droid X General] veeeee:
My guess is Verizon is holding off on the Droid X update since they are currently releasing the Xoom OTA update which was planned in advance to coincide with Google I/O.
[Droid X General] Nate2:
HTC Thunderbolt owners are receiving it as I write this. It is unlikely Verizon will push 2.3.3 to too many different phones simultaneously, to avoid any kind of tech support nightmare.

Edit: my bad...

It's the OTA 2.2.1 update that is currently going out to HTC TB, not the 2.3.3
[Droid X General] 16thKilla:
I got this lastnight Friday the 13th...fricken shaaaaweeeeet. There is a predownload on Droid life you can run...but you have to be stock 2.3.340
[Droid X General] kd6oji:
Hrm, I checked my phone as I read this, per my status line I have 2.3.3.340.MB810.vzn.en.us

I dunno, I think I have had it for a while as well, as my phone doesn't seem any different like it has in the past with updates.

I have noticed after installing Yahoo messenger app that it hangs a lot, but I attribute that to the yahoo app, not the OS update.
[Droid X General] GolfnWrx:
I didn't get it either and yesterday afternoon my phone was slow as heck (as if something was going in) but I don't look any different. :(
[Droid X General] dwray:
2.3.340 is just the system version. The Android version is still 2.2.1. Gingerbread will change that to 2.3.
[Droid X General] GolfnWrx:
From a Verizon press release this morning:

http://www.videogamingpros.com/moto...s-free-for-new-customers-and-upgrades/223322/

"The Motorola Droid X 2011 version runs on the Android 2.2 OS, but an upgrade to Android 2.3 has already hit India and will make its way around the world in the next few days."

So I guess it's on it's way....?
[Droid X General] ho11ywood45:
Where's my update dammit! LOL
[Droid X General] rocko73:
26th possibly.
[Droid X General] Nate2:
Asian countries seem to have an edge in acquiring the latest cell phone technology, before the USA. And the best/latest phones always appear in those markets first.

Just a personal observation...
[Droid X General] Roland Deschain:
Nate,

I think some manufacturers are treating Asian countries as beta tests for new phone models to make sure there aren't any big problems so they can have a better release in the "top tier" countries like USA/half of Europe. The countries they release these first in seem to have far, far, far fewer overall options, so if there's a problem there isn't much people can do, lol.
[Droid X General] rocko73:
Well when your the country of origin for a product, I would expect you to get info sooner. I don't think China has the lasted Harley Davidson bikes.
[Droid X General] eyepopper:
Will post asap when it happens

I have a father and brother in law that are unrooted and waiting for OTA. Will post when it happens.
[Droid X General] Nate2:
The cellular service model is different in Asian countries too: phones tend to be more expensive, but service (per minute charge) tends to be cheaper. In the USA, phones are cheaper because they are subsidized by the manufacturer/carriers in return for being locked into a 2 year service contract. These types of contracts are illegal in many European countries.
[Droid X General] bynge:
Are you guys talkign about the 2.33 release that is listed here ?

www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Buzz/

Its on the top of the list. But the release date is Feb 2011.

And if yes, why don't you install from here ?. I guess you need root to do that with a PC

If not, then what's new in this release ?
[Droid X General] GolfnWrx:
I've never seen this site before, how do you know that is for the Droid-X?

I'm asking because this is interesting as well as when I start from "catagories" I don't see Motorola or Droid-X listed there.

http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android

Thanks.
[Droid X General] mikron24:
the story is already on Droid life and there is even a picture build 596 to be sent on the 26 for Droid x
[Droid X General] EtherBoo:
I've been holding off on updating for a while now. I keep telling myself that the official OTA is around the corner, and I won't need to update again for a while (I hate constantly updating my phone).

It's a shame that this phone will probably never see ICS (unless they can hack it off the DX2), but if it's not out by the 26th as stated on Droid-Life, then I'm going the leaked route.
[Droid X General] Mr_Alexander:
I hear you there but I just couldn't wait anymore & jumped onto 595. BOY DID IT FEEL GOOD TO FLASH SOMETHING AGAIN! (I ran a rooted stock since 2.1) As for ICS one can only hope.
[Droid X General] yanis25:
If Im flashed to CricKet and will make an update, every setting for cricket will be gone?
[Droid X General] EtherBoo:
Well, 9 days and I'm putting my foot down. I doubt I'll be able to do it next week, so they basically have until the day after holiday for me to give in.

It's so hard to do it with the OTA JUST around the corner... and my phone working relatively ok... minus a few Liberty bugs.
[Droid X General] Docarut:
Those OTA updates are always weeks later than the expected release date. I may go back to unrooted and do it if someone says worth the trouble.
[Droid X General] GolfnWrx:
I believe the expected update was 4/11...then 5/13, so I'd say we are already weeks late :D
[Droid X General] juanzr1:
Should be here tomorrow since the the DX 2launched midnight
[Droid X General] Galaxy80:
WTF?! I was literally about to root my DX for the first time just now and read this. I got tired of waiting for the GB update, so I decided to root my phone TONIGHT! But, I guess I'll wait another week. Just my luck.. I get tired of waiting, and I see this! :confused:
[Droid X General] juanzr1:
Verizon is getting me pissed off. They can release the update since Tuesday!
[Droid X General] 16thKilla:
Yea but if you look at the specs of the newly released DX2 its got 2.2Froyo....I think big red is just sitting back laughing their asses off....NOT FUNNY VERIZION!!!..
[Droid X General] kd6oji:
I went ahead and upped my DX to GB. nice! If you want to wait, thats up to you.

I think as in my earlier post, VZ gets a kick out of their numbering schema.

now I am at Droid ver 2.3.3, but the sbf line reads4.5.573...

Guess I need to find the 5.88 now.
