[Droid X General] infazzdar:
My next phone will be a modern device (front facing camera, dual core, amoled/qHD screen, etc.) with an unlocked bootloader, preferably a four-inch screen, and preferably by HTC.

I haven't had time to look so I don't know the name of this device yet. =P
[Droid X General] droidizzle:
I know I am going to get some massive hatred for this BUT............ IPHONE 5. I seriously really do like android I have no complaints. Motorola kind of ruined the experience for me, but I was used to using apple software, and I can hack it just as easily has an android phone.
[Droid X General] veeeee:
galaxy s 2
[Droid X General] jgrizz:
im leaning towards the Xperia Play. Ill have 4G eventually with my Xoom so its not vital on my next phone. Plus it appears to come stock with gingerbread and no manufacturer skins or whatever.
[Droid X General] owenbeals:
Id like to say unlocked bootloader is a must... Those are becoming harder and harder to find hopefully their will be an across the board policy with manufactures to provide u with an unlocked bootloader while refusing a warranty... I thunk id be willing to give up my warranty to have the bootloader unlocked
[Droid X General] rocko73:
None of the ones listed, they are not that great. I need a real breakthrough phone in order to spend my $200 and lock me up for another 2 years.
[Droid X General] Roland Deschain:
Motorola is screwing the pooch. Bigtime. No LTE on the DX2 and the Bionic has 512MB of RAM. Neither qualifies as a true dual-core top-end phone, the Galaxy S 2 will mop the floor with Motorola if they don't get their **** together, and quickly.

@Owen: I completely agree, I'd thoroughly test my new phone then once I know it's not faulty, I'd totally waive the warranty to get the key to unlock the bootloader.
[Droid X General] Vettesfan:
I am waiting for the next Nexus phone as long as its on VZW or Sprint or the T-Mobile if the AT&T deal crashes
[Droid X General] hiv0lt:
I'm holding out for the Nexus 3 with Ice Cream Sandwich on Verizon.
[Droid X General] droxid:
I was leaning towards the Bionic but the Galaxy 2 is looking better and better.

Sent from my DROIDX
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
I am going to get off of Verizon and go to Sprint where the data is truly unlimited and coverage will not be a problem because I live in a very heavily populated area.

And DEFINETLY something with an unlocked bootloader
[Droid X General] Mr_Alexander:
None of the current line up of phones will make me renew my contract early. I'm pleased enough with my DX to stick with it for a little longer while I wait for a truly "next gen" device in LTE & specs.

One thing for certain is my love for flashing took a major hit once I got the DX. A Nexus 3 on VZW would be what I'd go for first. After that would likely be a return to an HTC handset.
[Droid X General] Ellizen:
I really like the Droid X form factor, maybe the Droid X 2 or X 3 :D
[Droid X General] chbennett:
I wouldn't hold your breath.
[Droid X General] jeftep:
I've been reading a lot of complaints about the lack of LTE and a Front facing camera on the DX2. While I agree its a bit of an oversight, LTE is not available as widely as 3g currently is. So for many users, this is not an issue - as they simply do not have the LTE coverage to make the jump worthy.

Another item worth noting, is the battery drain of these faster radios (4g/LTE).

I am certainly biased, as I am quite enamored with my current X - even with the locked bootloader and small community. However, I forsee the DX2 being a very solid choice for people that don't care for a front camera and LTE. Especially when they drop the price, or Amazon offers it for 1 cent again.
[Droid X General] RUSirius:
I'm going this route as well and 2nd the lack of 4G LTE, I would have liked to see more RAM, but these issues are not deal breakers for me.
[Droid X General] JackTheRipper13:
I'll take no 4g. I'm getting the x2 asap. I'm always on wifi and do nothing atm that I need faster speeds for. :)
[Droid X General] Roland Deschain:
Sorry, but that's just asinine. Even if you don't have LTE now, there's a good chance you will a year from now, when you still have your phone and it has no LTE chip. Don't be a Droid X2 apologist. ;)
[Droid X General] chbennett:
As for the x2 and lack of lte, the iPhone 5 will, according to most, not have a 4g radio in it. However, no one says that a otherwise solid device is crap because of that. Both don't have (or probably won't) for the same reason, there remains to be few 4g cities. I think it fills an important, market space and is a solid product, so can we end the war of opinion?
[Droid X General] james007b1:
Not sure. But definitely an unlocked bootloader and LTE. A front facing camera would also be a nice addition. I might even wait until Ice Cream Sandwich comes out.
[Droid X General] Jon El Canche:
Dos anyone know if the galaxy s2 will have LTE?
[Droid X General] Jubakuba:
I COMPLETELY agree with Owen...

A fantastic idea would be...

Provide a scratch-off surface (like on lotto tickets and the like) in the phone's manual...placed under a peel-off sticker so that it doesn't get accidentally scraped.

You'd then need both the manual and the phone present in order to make a return/replacement though...

So it would be really cool if they could find a way to embed it in the phone itself.

Locked by a key code or something.

This would contain you unique bootloader key.

While voiding your warranty.

****...I'd dig that. I'd dig that so hard.
[Droid X General] skennelly:
Something that doesn't have an encrypted bootloader :)
[Droid X General] ram130:
Can't tell how often I've herd "nexus on Verizon "..I kinda stop believing that. I hope the nexus 3 changes it..

Either way my next phone is either a iPhone 5 or galaxy s 2 or a HTC device..
[Droid X General] torikorocks:
I would like the Droid x2 but I think ill way for the targa.
[Droid X General] blueis300:
I think Im going to get a thunderbolt this week because Im bored with my dx and have an upgrade in august and use that for later in the year.
[Droid X General] zelrick:
I think I'll wait.

The DX does me well, though it does have problems here and there (holding on to 3G being the big one).

Mostly because I want to see how things shake out with LTE and pricing. But also with ICS coming this fall and most likely another Nexus device I want to wait and see.

Also I'm hoping for better optimization of the phones overall, on my three days at work, I'm there for 12 hrs and the DX doesn't do well even with the extended battery. So we'll see what's out there late this fall or early next spring.

Also want to see what comes of Googles update initiative, if it goes bad, I may be using a Web OS phone or Ahhhh! an iPhone... (I have fully avoided iPhone ownership but the update thing is getting to me.)

May pick up a Samsung fascinate in the interim if Sammy holds true to the updating. I have seem them going for ~150 on some of the auction sites. :D
[Droid X General] wtm1417:
I will probably keep the Droid X for awhile and then pick up one of the new tablets. Droid X runs fine for me as of now!
[Droid X General] DroidXDoesAndroid:
Ill keep my Droid X until 2013.

If my X breaks, then ill hopefully get an X2 as a replacement.

And my next phone will be the Droid 5, lol.
[Droid X General] Roland Deschain:
Why in the world would you buy a phone that, for all real intents and purposes, is identical to the Droid X you currently own?
[Droid X General] jussumguy88:
I don't think I will be running with Motorola the next device that I get. I think it may be something HTC.
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
I just read that the Droid3 is going to be dual-core and have have a 4-inch qHD screen. If it also has an unlocked bootloader I think it might be the next phone for me.
[Droid X General] Roland Deschain:
Well, this pretty much settles it, my next smartphone is going to be an HTC.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/26/htc-officially-dissolves-locked-bootlader-policy

Motorola, you're going to eventually die if you don't follow suit.
[Droid X General] cspell:
I broke down and got a Thunderbolt and I really like it. It's much more responsive than my X.

I also wanted to lock in the unlimited LTE data since we do have it in our area.

The battery life is really bad compared to the X, but after I loaded Gingerbread on it the battery life was far better than the X, at least 50% better. So there is hope for decent battery life on the Thunderbolt. But stock Thunderbolt gets about half the battery life of the X.

But I still want a Targa. I was trying to hold out for the Bionic, but 512MB of memory is just not enough. When will they wake up and make 1GB standard. My big problem with the X is running out of memory.

The Galaxy S2 looks like it will be good, but will it have LTE? Will it have 1GB of RAM? If so it would be a really good replacement if it isn't locked down.
[Droid X General] Zandog:
Hard to decide. Whatever has a dual core 1GHz, 1 GB RAM, 4"+ display or better.

Droid 3

Droid Bionic

Samsung Galaxy S2

Unannounced HTC

Hard to justify upgrading when there aren't many apps that demand it. Apple has all the best games so I use an iTouch4 to satisfy that need.

iPhone 5? mmmaybe. I'm not a fanboi so I'll take whatevers more clever at the moment.
[Droid X General] mrspock2002:
After spending all the money I have on my accessories, and how I love the X - it's design and everything else about it I'll get the X2 when I eventually upgrade. I love Tegra. Though I am a massive Nvidia fanboy.
[Droid X General] qipengart:
I want the Droid Bionic... or a Verizon-style Atrix 4G!
[Droid X General] 4LC4PON3:
I got my droid x2 thursday. I love the phone. This is my first droid so i have not gotten to experience any of the others. I plan on rooting the phone whenevee i get time.
[Xperia Arc General] gourdouli:
Can someone please post the email.apk from .184?

I've deleted mine and replaced it with the unbranded version (EAS did not work with SE branded) and would now like to go back, and take a stab at sorting the issue on the SE file.

g
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
I don't have your requested file but did you try to set right permission for the email.apk? I installed the modded from 2.2 and it worked with no problem. Could you share your file?
[Xperia Arc General] gourdouli:
It wasn't a permissions issue, I think it is something to do with handling ssl or certificates. Can't remember the precise problem, but SE would not allow me to connect to Exchange server and CM7 would.

I used the apk from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=775007

I hear that the email application on branded (eg Orange) handsets is slightly different and supports push, can anyone share/confirm?
[Xperia Arc General] Dazza2910:
When my phone was still Orange branded, the email application support push email on my Hotmail account. Now on the unbranded .184 software, it only works as pop3, and not very well at that. Doesn't delete emails from the phone when I delete them in webmail, etc. Load of pish. Would rather have kept Orange branded software!!!

:-)

Dazza
[Xperia Arc General] gourdouli:
I've seen the email app on a phone in an Orange shop and it's completely different, we really need to get our hands on this.

Anyone on a branded fw, report in here please.
[Xperia Arc General] punkmonkey1984:
Yeah its rubbish at deleting emails from the server, and cant detect that you have deleted them and keeps showing them.

Have you tried any alternatives to this one ?

Saying that, the orange branded email app, from what i saw of it, did look good.
[Xperia Arc General] gourdouli:
I've tried k9, but that doesn't have EAS and drains the battery rather quickly for imap.

The orange fw also supports their "HD Voice", and it would be nice to have an adb pull of this.
[Xperia Arc General] punkmonkey1984:
Yeah its a shame from orange as the rest of the software that came with the phone was really bad so i over looked it and flashed the global rom as soon as i could, first day in i got it in fact.
[Xperia Arc General] Dazza2910:
Called Orange today and said that all the Orange software had gone after I had to reinstall from SE website. They are sending me a new handset tomorrow!! So hopefully have the proper email app soon. Then see how we go about extracting it!

Dazza
[Xperia Arc General] gourdouli:
Good to hear. I thought I was being so clever by tracking down an unbranded handset...
[Xperia Arc General] punkmonkey1984:
Yeah see if you can pull that little baby from the system/app

Id like to give it another try :)
[Xperia Arc General] Dazza2910:
Once I have checked its ok, I will see if I can figure out how to extract it. Might need some help if I can't figure it out!

Dazza
[Xperia Arc General] punkmonkey1984:
Should be as easy as copying it from the system/app to your SD card,

Might need to be re-signed, but it should work,

Unless it depends on another app to work, then it will need more looking at.
[Xperia Arc General] Dazza2910:
Got the phone about 20 minutes ago. Can confirm I now have the proper Orange Email app back, and excellent it is too. Will try and extract it when I get home and post it to see if someone else can get it working too.

Cheers

Dazza
[Xperia Arc General] gourdouli:
Great. Do you have the sdk installed? If so, a full rip of the firmware would be nice.
[Xperia Arc General] Dazza2910:
There is an app called com.orange.pushmail.z7. Presume that's the one that is the modified email app.

Don't have the SDK installed. Is that what I need to do full rip of the firmware?? No idea how to do that.

Cheers

Dazza
[Xperia Arc General] gourdouli:
For now, just copy across /system/app/ with Astro to the sd. 7z is an archive type, so not sure what is in that.

Edit: misread, z7 is just part of the name. Are there any other branded apps? what firmware version is it running?
[Xperia Arc General] Dazza2910:
Firmware is - 3.0.A.2.184

Other Orange apps are :

Orange App Shop

Orange Homescreen

Orange Home Selector

Orange Live Wallpaper

Orange Maps

Orange Phone Backup

Orange VIP Contact

Orange Clock Widget

Orange TV

Your Orange

Email one is the only I'm bothered about though!!

Dazza
[Xperia Arc General] Dazza2910:
Here you go, see if this works.....
[Xperia Arc General] punkmonkey1984:
Installed fine,

Shame it only works over mobile data.

Will test it out more.

And the Hotmail status bar icon sucks, will have to amend that lol

You going back to Global firmware now you have the Email.apk Dazza2910 ? lol
[Xperia Arc General] Dazza2910:
Might wait until I have a backup of the whole firmware so I can always go back to it!!

:-)

Dazza
[Xperia Arc General] gourdouli:
Thanks, this is working for me. It sent me an email telling me I have a two week trial though - this could be an issue.

Is it working for any non-Orange users?
[Xperia Arc General] Dazza2910:
I've never signed up to any Orange email thing, but would hope it's included in my bundle. Bloody better be or I'll be having words with Orange!!

Dazza
[Xperia Arc General] xeon11:
Hmmm...doesn't work for me. It kept saying my phone number is not recognized and maybe because I was using wifi and not 3G....well, I actually tried both but to no avail...

If this email.apk doesn't resolve exchange SEO and GAL issues then perhaps I was wasting my time...
[Xperia Arc General] gourdouli:
I fear this will only work for those on Orange UK, and that the bulk of the work is done on their servers with only the output pushed to our phones. This is not what I was hoping for.

The search for a client that does EAS and Imap idle must continue...

Also, if someone could upload the default unbranded client from their Arc it would be greatly appreciated.

g

UPDATE:

The z7 indicates that this is a version of SEVEN email client http://www.seven.com/

SEVEN also happen to have had their own client, free from network subscription issues, but have withdrawn it and closed the beta. Thankfully, the internet does not forget.

I give to you all push email on imap EAS hotmail gmail yahoo etc...
[Xperia Arc General] xeon11:
Dude!!!!! It works!!!!!!! OMG!!!

Still syncing now but at least I got in!!! Woohoo...will report findings soon!! Thanks mate!!
[Xperia Arc General] xeon11:
OK few observations so far:

1. Automatic push for exchange email doesn't seem to work. Test shows that I need to manually sync it to receive emails.

2. Exchange GAL doesn't work

3. Slows down my OS a little.

4. Maximum email size truncates at 50kb.

5. Great looking interface

6. Syncs exchange calendar

7. Syncs all my exchange folders

8. Comes with widget

9. Syncs contacts backed-up on exchange

10. No support for this since it's beta

I actually went to the seven website to see if I could download the latest beta version but unfortunately I couldn't find any specifically for the arc.

This has so much potential!!
[Xperia Arc General] punkmonkey1984:
Found Seven Beta page here:

http://community.seven.com/main.php
[Xperia Arc General] gourdouli:
They've withdrawn the android applications without explanation, but several carriers are using and charging for this. Exchange push works for me most of the time, but occasionally just stops.
[Xperia Arc General] Dazza2910:
Thankfully it's free for Dolphin and Panther plans. So I'm OK there. Have downloaded this one too though so now have a choice if I go back to the unbranded software.

Cheers

Dazza
[Xperia Arc General] punkmonkey1984:
Can any one sign in with a Hotmail.co.uk account.

Have some trouble here were it just returns back to entering your detail screen,

This is the Seven app not the orange on :confused:
[Xperia Arc General] Dazza2910:
Yeah, I'm getting it to work with a hotmail.co.uk account no problem. I'm using the Orange version of it though.

Dazza
[Xperia Arc General] punkmonkey1984:
Yeah the orange version works fine, but the Seven one looks better, but wont log me in lol. :confused:
[Xperia Arc General] Dazza2910:
Just tried the 7 one too and I can't get it to work with hotmail.co.uk

Don't think it looks any different from the Orange version really, so will stick with that.

[EVO 4G General] zyrtek69:
hey everbody. ive searched long and far for a fix and i just can't find it! i even emailed deathsled and havent heard anything yet so im here at your mercy! about 2 weeks ago i flashed my evo to cricket using deathsleds rom and everything including mms worked. my signal bars were going crazy so i flashed another prl to see if that would fix it and my mms didnt work after that so i flashed back to the previous prl and it still wont work. now ive edited some things and gotten it to where i can send/receive from sprint,virgin,tmo and cricket, verizon however i can send to but the only way i can receive a mms from a verizon customer is if they forward the pic to themselves first then send it to me?? i have no idea what this means but any help would be very awesome! thanks everybody in advance
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhaymond:
When I rooted about a month ago or so. Just before I added a new kernel, Rom and than theme; I did a backup of my stock. Than a few more backups of my phone as I was customizing my phone. But when I tried to restore my phone back to stock. That restore didn't work but the others did. My question is; is there a way to return to stock? Without having to do a factory reset and listing all my stuff?

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhaymond:
Thanks that sounds even better thanks for the help guys.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgldrgdlr:
It's really not that much of a pain. I've rooted and unrooted my Tbolt twice since I've had it, once to take it to VZW and once to try to fix a hotspot issue. When you're comfortable with adb, unrooting/rooting only takes about 15 or 20 minutes. The longest part is waiting for the files to download.

Unrooting, for me at least, is a way to start fresh after I've flashed so many kernals and so many roms that I forget where I'm even at :D
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dak_181:
If your going for a fresh start then un rooting could be right for you. i,however, like my multiple Roms and kernels :D i keep pretty good track of them with ROM manager. if anything ever happens i just load the backup i made of the stock settings right after i rooted
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ERIFNOMI:
Keep the files and you can do it in 10. The longest thing is flashing the RUUs.

But if I had a problem like this I'd either go to a new ROM and start over or go back to stock and start entirely over.

[Kyocera Zio M6000] Sorry_8D:
I'm not really sure, but I think you have to be connected to wifi for netflix to work properly. Our "3G" data:

1. Isn't fast enough to stream the video

2. would be used fairly quickly. I think the cap is 5Gb/month then you get throttled down until the next month...

Try it connected to wifi.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] apn3432:
The Netflix in openZio works just fine over 3g for me. Doesn't seem to go through data too terribly fast. Not as fast as I'd expect anyways.

I have the Cricket Crosswave too. If I connect to that over my phone it streams fine. Trying to watch Netflix on my computer while connected to the Crosswave does NOT stream worth a crap though. I figure they must optimize the mobile version quite a bit.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Sorry_8D:
I stand corrected.
