True. :-)

But, E-Mails are not as accessible as SMSes in this part of the world. :-)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] anant.0097:
Exactly.... sms is more easily than email accessible and can be received by anyone who has a phone...... be it the very old black and white ones or the latest galaxy s2!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] eve_bluemoon:
totally speechless. think u can use more short forms in ur long long article
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] djsvish:
Darn. There is a 160 character limit in Go SMS Pro? I'm tired of Handcent and was actually planning to shift over to Go SMS. I guess I'll have to put up with it for some more time :(

The lag is just unbearable at times :|
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] anant.0097:
don't worry man..... use go sms it's better......

and as for the limit that is the limit for a single sms...... one single message cannot be more than 160 characters...... it applies for handscent also.... in go sms it is displayed that's it it makes no difference whatsoever actually!
[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:
Any recommendations for a restart button? I'm too lazy to power off then power on the device.
[Acer Iconia A500] speedy-ct:
Quick Boot!! Nice app..:D
[Acer Iconia A500] Fluffbutt:
Does that actually reboo the tab?

I thought all it did was kill all running apps to 'simulate' a reboot.

It DOES need root access though (and I've not yet seen any point to rooting the A500).
[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:
It definitely reboots! The pro version has a mode that "simulates" a reboot, similar to what you're talking about.
[Acer Iconia A500] anusthegreat:
Although it's not the subject, I really wanted to note that rooting A500 does worth it for sure. I'm using ADFree, ClockSync, Autokiller, File Expert, NTFS mount, Root uninstaller and a few more root-required applications which add some epic user experience. Just consider unrooting your device back before installing any updates or system modifications. Cheers.
[Acer Iconia A500] Fluffbutt:
Yes, i wasn't trying to bring it up as a subject, just asking if rooting it was worth it for the reboot app.

I can see some people might want root, and the ADFree is probably one good reason. The rest don't interest me at all.
[Acer Iconia A500] anusthegreat:
I used to have a custom Darky's ROM on my previous Samsung Galaxy S, I had an extra power-off menu letting me choose Reboot or Shutdown or even Recovery or Download modes. Obviously, I was using the feature to reboot the device pretty often; I'd like to have a one-button widget rebooting my device properly.

Also, about the apps which don't interest u..

*my tablet is usually about +/-2,5 sec every time I shut it down, not reboot;

*autokiller helps to save memory, at least I can be sure I don't have to start a game level again because of an e-mail or something like this;

*a decent root file explorer letting you see hidden system directories is a must just because any minimal and safe modifications do improve performance
[Defy General] cosminmocan:
I want to attention all the defy users about the water damage that can be done at our phone

I tested it today at a pool i even keeped the finger over the eapiece filme like 30 secons under water not even 1 meter deep and suprise when i tryed to call the person heard me but i heard just beep beep puk puk :))

Anyway i was lucky enough to roll over it a dry towel and after a hour it was working normaly :))

I think words are in vain i was scared as hell :)) now i know that our defyes arent made to be used near watter

In one sentence DO NOT TRY THE WATTERPROFFNES OF THE DEFY YOU MIGHT BE DISSAPOINTED

Cheers
[Defy General] ATXiceman512:
I took my phone to the pool for 45 minutes I was skipping it across the water, no problem.
[Defy General] goateye:
Some water in the earspeaker. Works fine after drying!
[Defy General] dd23:
I don't really wanna try to throw my Defy into any kind of liquid.

I know it's said to be waterproof, but seriously that little speaker doesn't look very robust to me... I know there are a lot of videos on youtube that show the defy in swimmingpools and stuff, but I'm not sure if that's so good for the device in the long run.

I just don't wanna ruin my 280 bucks device just for fun.

my 2 cents ^^
[Defy General] cosminmocan:
You guys all all right

Yes it did worked after drying

its a stupid thing anyway

Anyway now it works and thATS all it matters :)
[Defy General] ATXiceman512:
Haha nice, first day I got it I dumped it into water work like a champ, got mine free through T-Mobile online promotion
[Defy General] unrafa:
I put it inside a glass of water every night before going to sleep, because i can
[Defy General] Sutitan:
My defy seemed to be pretty waterproof. as evidence

[youtube]FnarI4TH8iw[/youtube]

[youtube]HAFraHrHVjk[/youtube]
[Defy General] Beach_Head:
I forget where I read this but apparently, after using the Defy underwater or in water, you need to dry it out for at least 1 and 1/2 hours before using it normally.

I believe this is to ensure that the earpiece doesn't malfunction as it is the only part that isn't covered by anything water-proof, and for obvious reasons...
[Defy General] Devo2:
According to a review I recently read on Engadget, the battery door has a latch that one can sometimes lock improperly, thereby leaving a gap through which water can get in.
[Defy General] agent__orange:
i wanna try it also.. but my concern is the mini usb port where we occasionally charge the phone, mine is i think loosen... is it mine only?

btw, it is water-resistant not waterproof..
[Defy General] Devo2:
The Defy is IP67 certified.

That means:

(1) No ingress of dust; complete protection against contact.

(2) Ingress of water in harmful quantity shall not be possible when the enclosure is immersed in water under defined conditions of pressure and time (Test duration: 30 minutes, Immersion at depth of 1m).

So it is waterproof for 30 minutes to a depth of 1m / 3ft.

Also, since the 30 minute, 1 meter specification is based on pressure, then the phone can be taken deeper for shorter durations. For example, it can most likely withstand a depth of 10 feet for 5 minutes.
[Defy General] feffe73:
i don't know

I dip my defy in a glass of water every night when i go to sleep near to my bed.

In the mornig, when i wake up, i pull out the phone and i works perfectly.

Very water resistant!
[Defy General] cosminmocan:
well i check my lock every time i dont use it underwater anyway i wanted justnto test it and the test scared the crap out of me :)) i think that this shoud be a sticky for all new defy users
[Defy General] viper.:
same here but i already did some water test :D. If water gets in then usb port or 3.5 mm will be dead/ shorted but i think that the phone will work just fine (same as motherboards in PCs).
[Defy General] drdreh:
My friends always ask me to put in water, but I say to search video on youtube ! :p:D
[Defy General] cosminmocan:
Congrats :)) dont do it
[Defy General] lightstryk:
MY previous Defy's battery cover latch moved very easily which resulted in my accidentally swiping it while underwater and the cover fell off!! It died and my new one has a better latch, so beware!
[Defy General] ABC_Universal:
I couldn't resist and tried soon after purchase. Apparently no demage was done.

I no longer put defy under water now with excitement gone, but still wash it with soap and tap water from time to time.
[Defy General] Mikis89:
First time i tried to put it under water, the phone suddenly rebooted...guess i'm not gonna try again...
[Defy General] reaperzero:
after getting it for 2 days i dunked it into a pool. scared my wife hahaha
[Defy General] Deonix:
how to "fix" some issues

First, you can buy a case from Amazon/Ebay to ensure you don't open the back cover underwater.

Secondly, if someone can try i am sure there is a possibility to make the earpiece waterproof, or more resistant. But that means disassembling the phone, which i can't do. i will test it:D underwater this summer at the seaside. Should be fun.
[Defy General] vladutz2007:
I have tested mine 5 minutes under water and seems to work in the right parameters.After you test it you have to let it dry because you'll have problems with the speakerphone.So take care, btw it's a great phone.
[Defy General] cosminmocan:
yes it is a graet phone that why you shoudnt destroy it just for fun you can dry it but the earpiece is not water proof if you damage the earpiece it dosent matter if the phone is dry or not but everyone has the freedom of choice

I personaly tryed once saw tha danger and it was enough :)
[Defy General] edition-:
You do what? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

About the earpiece, is much like other phones and keyboards etc, they don't die in the water, sometimes if some gets in you will have to wait for it to dry. Anyway with the Ip67 certification no water should go close to do that.
[Defy General] Drizzur Urden:
I tested it under a water crane, accidentally dropped it with high speed on stones.

little scratch on a corner, not realy a problem...

It's a real robust phone actually, but not ment to be tested over and over again. Just prevents some things like giving a little more ensurance using it while doing rough work or something like that.
[Defy General] ruscik:
My one will be used as motorcycle gps. First major test july for 3 weeks.
[Defy General] hellgnomo:
On the last holyday I was drunk and tested my defy if it was VodkaProof

no problems :rolleyes:
[Defy General] soueumesmoaki:
I really want to do that test... but in the other hand, I don't think i can survive without my defy nowadays :(

so it's too many things to risk on it :S

if at least we had some real guarantee on that, not like it's manual that says if it has some water damage, could be YOUR fault for not closing the lids properly.
[Defy General] fendymn:
I dipped my phone in a bath tub. When I took out, my phone hang. After a while, I did it again & record the whirlpool inside the bath tub. It was amazing. I've even try taking picture under sea water but the picture is a little bit blurry.

It is true that our phone is water resistance & not water proof. I don't encourage you guys to try it unless you can accept the risk.
[Defy General] nameite:
I only brought water resistant phones...from nokia, SE C710, now the defy.

They all have that speakerphone problem...and its just water that gets stuck on the film...once it dries it'll be fine.

No permanent damage.

I shower with my phone everyday...wonder if someone could make the capa-touch screen work under water...
[Defy General] [] AL []:
Underwater water pressure in defined by depth not time.

The immersion time has not much to do with the overall 'resistance' of the phone it is just a standardized test method.

Given that at sea level the atmospheric pressure is 14.7psi (1ATM) and that it will roughly double every 10 meters under water, you get: pressure @1m: 1.1ATM= 16.2psi and @3m(~10'): 1.3ATM=19.1psi.. It might seem like a small increase but your eardrums would feel the pain...

Nerdy caculation aside, this brings me back to my 1st point: try going deep in with the swab next time you clean your ears; you'll see that the time you spend going too deep "most likely" won't matter much...
[Defy General] TudorBlue:
As long as you make sure the plugs over the micro usb and the ear phone socket are secure, as is the back, you should be ok. I took mine to our local swimming pool and jumped into the deepend (6ft), came up for air and my phone was fine. I put it in the pocket of my trunks, swam the length of the pool and my phone was fine.
[Defy General] felipeap:
Everyday I have to control myself to not put it under water...

Want so much to see my baby wet, but I love her so much to risk ! =(

[Motorola Droid X2] keith.mcintyre26:
What does everyone think of this device so far. My wife is out of contract and this might be her first smartphone. Any opinions are much appreciated.
[Motorola Droid X2] dr.diesel:
I'm on my second one in less than a week. First one died randomly rebooting about every 5 minutes. Now my new one I just got yesterday just randomly rebooted.

When I took it back, the rep said it just needed hard reset, so she did it, then it rebooted in her hand! It was classic.

Terrible track record so far!
[Motorola Droid X2] juhde:
Outta the box, meh.

4 hours outta the box with some tweaking (root, freeze bloat, new launcher, etc) Best phone I've ever had.

Only downside is the locked bootloader which means no AOSP ROMS. But I think I can live with that.

Also MANY people have whined and cried about the penTile display, in my opinion the screen is beautiful. Some apps aren't optimized for the new higher resolution yet so they look a little "off" but it's no big deal. No fault of the phone but of app designers. It should get fixed in due course.

Sent from my DROID X2
[Motorola Droid X2] tbodary:
Love it so far

I upgraded from the original droid running cyanogen 7 and I love the X2 so far. I installed laucherpro right away and rooted to install wired and wireless tether and freeze some of the bloatware that came with it.

I had a couple random reboots at first but I have not had one for a couple weeks now.

I was a little worried about the battery life at first but after a few days my battery must have finally been broken in and Im pleasantly surprised with the battery life.

No matter what you read elsewhere the screen is AMAZING... you can see it outside while its bright on the lowest setting, you bump it up to the highest and you can see it perfectly in direct sunlight.

People will also bash how much ram this has. Lots of people think that only having 512mb is a horrible thing. But if you actually do some research and learn about how android uses ram you'll realize that extra ram does no good. Essentially if its not being used its being wasted. I run a widget that I can click to see how much ram is left and its usually between 50 and 100. My friend has an atrix and his is usually around 400... which proves that hes not using the extra 512 he has available. So maybe down the road there will be some apps or a new version of android that will need 1gb or ram but i highly doubt it will be before Im up for another upgrade.
[Motorola Droid X2] MasterRedBird:
Rooting is a must

This was my upgrade from the Droid Incredible also rooted using Sky-Raider, and Cyanogen(mod) 7.0.3. The qHD and the dual core processor sold me on the phone.

After unboxing the I was struck by the brilliance and clarity of the screen and the phone was quite responsive at times. Easily viewable in direct sunlight (even when dimmed)but the phone was hanging when navigating to the home screen and the batter life was less than a day with light moderate use.

I rooted the phone using GingerBreak and after removing Bloatware, it is the best phone that I have seen for the price $199.99 with upgr.

The phone is worth the money, brilliant screen, responsive, and I am satisfied with the performance for now until there is a stable rom for it. Just ran benchmark with Quadrant Standard at 2128!

Read the engadget review posted 6-5-2011.
[Motorola Droid X2] keith.mcintyre26:
I really appreciate the opinions everyone. It seems like a great phone, but I think I'm getting her the Droid 3 simply because she's coming from the env touch (assbag of a phone btw) and would appreciate the physical keyboard. Thanks again.
[Motorola Droid X2] rushless:
You folks had better luck than me. First the good points that made me want to keep it.

Build

Display

Battery life

Call quality

Speed for game emulators

Radio reception

Easy to root

Form factor suits one hand operation better than other 4.3"

Tegra 2 has very good audio quality

Why I returned it.

Where is the memory? I appreciate that 108mb of the 512mb ram appears to be allocated to the GPU, but if you add up the OS, Home UI, OS tasks, opened user apps and free ram, there is still about 160mb missing out of 404mb. You can apply a memory script to help out, but the memory slowly leaks away, even with the script. The DX2 starts to lag.

MP3 pops and clicks. This is probably due to the low operational ram mentioned above, but even when not multitasking, there are random pops and clicks and gets much worse if multitasking.

Flash can spike the device temps past 115 degrees. Flash does not appear to get on with the DX2 firmware. Heat spikes and the battery is drained like the DX2 is on an LTE radio.

Random reboots. It seems to mainly happen during web browsing, Flash playback and playing video files. While I was debating on keeping it or not (due to the good things mentioned at top) and rationalizing that the issues would be fixed, my DX2 rebooted while updating a few market apps. I considered that a sign to return it.

Seems better to return it and see if they fix the problems, rather than get stuck with the DX2, IF the problems are not fixed.

IF they fix the issues, I will buy the DX2 again, or wait for the Bionic. I am more likely to get the DX2 again, since I doubt a 4.5" qHD LCD display, dual core and LTE will have very good battery life.

The DX2 would rock REAL hard if the issues are fixed. I have a gTablet with same chipset, 512mb ram and Froyo and it does not have the issues noted.

added:

I miss the DX2, mainly due to the sweet display :) Back to my Incredible for now :(
[Motorola Droid X2] Ruoh:
For my part, I've seemingly resolved the quirky behaviour by enabling the performance profile. The "medium" setting would cause reboots and strange laggy app issues. I'm still likely to get the Bionic later as well, and trade this one in for credit. I tend to swap between my upgrade, and my wife's line upgrade.
[Motorola Droid X2] Dark_Wizard:
Where is the profile setup?
[Motorola Droid X2] stronggeek:

[Motorola Droid X2] orlandojumpoff:
If you don't need 4G LTE or a front-facing camera, it's a great purchase on Verizon. First dual-core phone for them! More power means longer shelf-life for keeping up with demanding apps/games. Large qHD res screen, Tegra 2 processor, solid build quality and pretty decent camera. Some people don't like the Blur UI, but it's not as bad as it used to be. You can always replace with a third party launcher too.

If this phone didn't look exactly like the original Droid X, people would probably be talking about it more. I'm especially enjoying the tegra 2 gaming - Riptide Gp (link)
[Motorola Droid X2] RagingCain:
Mine is working alright for me, I can attest the Motorola bloatware does slow down the phone quite a bit.

I also have Quadrant only reading "1 Core" so I don't know if Quadrant needs to be updated or the rumors are true that the CPU is limited till we get the Ginger from Motorola.

As far as hardware goes, I doubt the 512mb of RAM will make a difference once we start using custom ROMs and remove quite a bit of the bloat. The Tegra 2 seems to make everything really snappy, the battery is better than my Droid 2, I do miss the keyboard though, so your wife may really really like the keyboard or hate it. I am a really really really big fan of the keyboard phones, but my phone died and they offered to let me upgrade early so I went with a Tegra 2.

Although with all the Motorola software / Verizon software etc. It runs pretty sluggish at times and the significant other's Captivate will run circles around my phone despite being just the Galaxy S internals. She likes to rub that in.

I just smile and wait till I end up running Liberty or MIUI on my phone so I can destroy her smug-ness.
[Motorola Droid X2] SoCoolAZ:
I'm coming from a BB Storm and am super impressed by the DX2...all of the reasons I told myself I DIDN'T need an android phone are the reasons I am using this sucker so often. Love the apps. Here are some of my concerns:

HEAT - The plate below the battery cover, where the speaker is becomes too hot to touch at some points. After reading some of the forums it seems that this will occur more if I am watching flash or doing some major downloading. Three weeks in, it seems to be managed better as I am using Advance App Killer whenever I use the phone to kill process that start when I am doing nothing more than texting.

BATTERY LIFE - At first I was getting about 3-4 hours with moderate to heavy use. As another poster stated above, the battery seems to have broken in a bit, though it seems I will always need to pack a charger if I will be out for more than five or six hours.

MP4 PLAYBACK - I have tried to put 1-2gig mp4's on the SD card in a folder created called "_movies", but the X2 seems to struggle playing these files. On videos I have made using the X2, playback is not a problem. Error message is "File cannot be displayed or played". Annoying.

DISAPPEARING / GHOSTING APPS: Similarly, I have dropped adk files into a folder created called "apps" on the SD card (or sdcard-ext as IDed in file search). I have used my laptop in two ways to write the files: 1) with X2 tethered via USB using Windows 7 to copy/paste files on the SD and 2) removed the SD from X2 and plugged mini-SD into adapter to write files directly to SD.

UNIQUE NOTIFICATION: My BB had the ability to assign separate ringtones to different email accounts...I'm sure that I can do this with an app, but it seems so much easier in the BB settings menu thand the android.

So in researching these issues it seems all paths lead back to one thing: Rooting the phone. I have gingerbreak and am ready to do this, but am reluctant to do it knowing I have about 28 hours setting this phone up custom and I know I will have to start from scratch on that customization. Can anyone confirm that post-root I will still be utilizing the MOTOBLUR? I read a lot about people who hate it, but I like the 7 screens and widgets.

Just my 2 cents on the device. Overall, very happy. I'm sure I'll be extremely happy post-root as I think I am reading that rooting the device will solve a lot of the file and OS issues listed above.

Rock on, great forum. FIRST POST. android noob.
[Motorola Droid X2] ph0:
Like it so far , pretty much as good as the X1. The screen looks great , they really improved the visibility in sunlight.

Otherwise I do have a few of the common issues like music skip, slow screen turn on, and random reboots. I figure they will get sorted when I can get a better rom installed.
[Motorola Droid X2] dirkdigital:
I'm liking the X2 just fine. I upgraded from the Incredible and I'm glad I didn't go for the DI2. Dual Core...hell yea! Beautiful 4.3" display...hell yea! My guess is that things will get better with easy rooting and Gingerbread. Besides, I didn't really like my DI until I started using customs ROMs and cleaned out the bloatware.
