Should I?.....

...post threads without saying what it in the title so people have to open it to hear me talk about a phone that won't be out for months?

just saying :rolleyes:

Anyways, onto the topic. Screw moto. Their CEO is a douche and blames their problems on shoddy third party development when Moto has issues with their own third party development (in relation to android with Moto blur). Their CEO fails to see their problem is in their own software that no one wants. I don't care if Motorola phones in the future do my homework for me, write my code and pick up women for me as I walk down the street. I will never touch their products after how they act.

http://www.computerworld.com.au/article/388831/motorola_ceo_open_android_store_leads_quality_issues/

At least HTC saw early their mistake and made amends quickly. They also dont blame customers and tell them to go buy another phone (as moto has done in the past when people complain about being locked down).

Samsung also treats their developers right (they gave a galaxy s2 for free to the CyanogenMod Developers today):

http://phandroid.com/2011/06/06/samsung-delivers-galaxy-s-ii-to-cyanogenmod-dev-says-get-to-work/

Say what you want about Samsung, but I dont think I've seen any other OEM personally give CyanogenMod a phone and tell them to "make it work on our product." Galaxy S2 is also the first android phone with all open source drivers.

If you want to see what you're going to get with the Bionic, go look at the Atrix forums. Their phone isn't anything that special, unless the buzz words "dual core" "hdmi" and whatever else means that much to you. Not every piece of software will function better with multiple cores. It means less clockspeed per core, so something that only relies on a few threads or less isn't going to see much of a difference at all (and could perform worse). Sure, the OS will benefit, but that could be a year or two years away, perhaps more depending on how much the code in Android needs modded outside the linux kernel to work let alone, the software someone like Moto will stick on the phone (and who knows if they even know what 2 cores are at Moto, since it doesnt seem to help the Atrix much).

If you're going to wait that long on a phone, you might as well keep waiting for the Galaxy S2. At least you don't have to worry about miserable CEO temper tantrums and their "dartboard policy" of what to blame this week.
[Thunderbolt General] mcargil05:
Actually I tried to take it back twice for the head phone amp. I use Shure ear buds so I need a little added base. If you are using it with your car stereo you would be using the stereos tone controls. With my phone if you add base it starts distorting bad. The tech hooked it up to $10 speaker and played a "You Tube" video and pronounced it good! I called HTC and they told me to turn down the volume (great answer eh). They did admit the external speaker and ear speaker are bad on TB's. They claimed it was software and would be fixed. The GPS takes 1-2 minutes but when your ready to go you're ready to go! Maybe I should root my phone and try a new kernel.
[Thunderbolt General] matthewkolden:
I'm too happy with my thunderbolt to worry about the Bionic possibly being better. It'll be the same story anyway. You'll look at buying the Bionic, but then something new will be right on the horizon that looks even better, and everyone will say to wait for that one. Thunderbolt rocks, i have no regrets. Besides, in a year and a half or so i'm always looking for a new phone anyway, so i'm only gonna be on the bolt for another year.
[Thunderbolt General] azturbomini:
By rooting you at least have options to try and work out the kinks your having. You really have nothing to lose but a little time which you'll get back in knowledge. Good luck.

Every 3-4 months we have this SAME conversation about why my current phone is not as good as the"new" phones that are " supposed" to be better, have quad core, run on plutonium, blah blah. Just be happy with what you have. Remember all the *****ing that went on over the Incredible? It's still an awesome phone and the development keeps getting better.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mrzzheng:
They (authors of cm7) were contacted by Samsung which said would provide assistance to them on their custom ROMs on SGS2. Sounds good, but any way to push Samsung to take care of the Infuse as well?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
we can only hope. it seems samsung is sensitive to its reputation and supports the dev comunity to some degree as they have made many changes for the better. though im sure they are more concerned with the sgs2 being accepted by the comuntiy than the infuse.

Stock X2 Home App, ADW or LPP? Let me know if you have either ADW or LPP and your experience.
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
Definitely not the stock launcher - it's slow and laggy.

ADW is what I'm using at it's very solid. It hasn't FC once and the only redraws I'm having is with expanded picture widgets.

I used LPP for a day or so and it also seemed solid, however I have read in a lot of forums that people are having issues with it on the X2.

If I were you, I would pick a launcher that you like the best, and then lock home in memory with scripts that are floating around on these forums. I used the V6 Supercharged script today and I noticed my picture widgets are filling in much quicker.

Just my two cents...
[Motorola Droid X2] juhde:
I too use ADW, much better than the blurhome.

[Motorola Droid X2] Bigdragon2k3:
At first I was using lpp it was great I enjoyed the widgets that lpp has. I recently changed to go launcher ex I love it. It's extremely customizable. I also enjoyed the scrolling dock bar like on lpp. I haven't experienced any lag whatsoever using this launcher as well.
[Motorola Droid X2] theguru1974:
I'm using ADW because I was used to it coming from Cyanogenmod 7 on the Incredible. It's been very smooth and no hiccups whatsoever, way better than stock. But then, this evening after I disconnected from my vehicle charger and headed into a 3 hour meeting, my battery went from 75% to 25% when I came out, and the phone was in my pocket the entire time. I checked SpareParts+ and it said my phone was awake the entire 3 hours and blamed "Android System". I'm not sure what is going on now.

[Motorola Droid X2] Robin M:
I just bought the Droid X2 because I got tired of waiting for the Samsung Galaxy X II to hit the US market. All the reviews I've read say the Droid X2 hardware is way ahead of everything else for performance and functionality. And after having the phone for a week now, I would agree. After playing with the phone in the store, I knew the Moto Blur UI was horrible and would need a lot of tweaking. But I figured that the dual processor could take anything I threw at it in that regard.

With ADW, some icon packs, and several aftermarket widgets, the phone now looks as great as it performs. I am extremely happy with the results, and am experiencing no lags at all. (I had to root it to get rid of that awful "DROID" sound the phone makes when it reboots.)

[Motorola Droid X2] moz90:
lpp even if im the only 1

i like lpp more i might be the only and my home screen doesnt redraw but maybe everyone 250 to 500 times i go to my home screen and thats not much i dont think and i love lpp widgets and i love my 3d app draw and its sooooooo much faster than blur but if u want something other than lpp id say go with golauncher its decent
[Motorola Droid X2] Ahkee:
SPB Shell 3D is a great fast apparently for this and is getting great reviews. Get it from market and give it a try.
[Motorola Droid X2] Dark_Wizard:
@ that cost? No thanks! You working for the dev? I'll stick with the cheaper more customizable Home Screen Apps....
[Motorola Droid X2] jsvanhoy:
iv been using GO launcher. its pretty cool. lots of custom flick options ie. cube, roll, ect. free software. iv had no lag or battery problems so far and its way faster than blur home

[General Questions and Answers] afrowookie:
Hi all, I would like some help on a little issue with vegan and viewing pictures. I have a Gtablet rooted with vegan and am trying to use it as a comic book viewer. Some of my comics are in cbr format and some of them are in folders with just jpeg images. The thing is I can view them ok but they would delete themselves from my added micro sdcard. for example i would add 5 comics with the folders and images. I would only read one with a picture app, then either after shutting down or when the tablet comes out of hibernation, i would go in and try to read another comic, the folders are still there but no pictures are there.

Please help

Thanks

[Dell Streak 7] crzayalex:
Got my streak for about a week now, but problems now start to happen. 2 days ago my streak started to mess up when playing sound. Whenever I turn the volume to max while playing music or playing a game, or just watching a video, the sound that is supposed to be played would stop and instead starts playing a buzz noise. This noise would not stop until I restart the streak.

Also, the streak is now randomly restarting. It was just sitting on my desk and all of the sudden the dell logo appears. Anyone else have this problem? Should I just send it back and get a replacement?

Any help would be great!
[Dell Streak 7] HallucinatingElvis:
I've been watching this thread to see if thar be any responses... nothing.

I have the same issues, I've been trying to find out more about it but I havent come up with much.

That being said I do believe this is a software issue. Froyo and Dells apparent lack of interest seem to be the most likely culprit.

I could ofcourse be completely wrong and we both have brand new toys that are busted :-(
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
I don't have anything helpful to add other than my Streak 7 has never displayed this kind of bahaviour.
[Dell Streak 7] crzayalex:
Elvis, what did you decide to do? Did you send it in for replacement? I factory reset mine and so far other than some random lag and random resets, the sound issue is gone.

Z4nd4r, thanks anyway. I wish my streak behaves like yours.

One side question, in the next 2 weeks, before my return window closes, if I install the HC beta on my streak, can I still return it? Or do I have to downgrade it back to 2.2.2 without root before I return?
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
It's always a good bet to return it to stock unrooted if you return. They may not care (people have sent rooted/ROM'd phones in to service without issue in the past), but better safe than sorry. Just my $0.02.
[Dell Streak 7] HallucinatingElvis:
well I still have it, havent decided what to do yet. I found a few instances of the same problem around the net but no one goes into much detail. Im back to stock/unrooted after using streak droid for a bit but after a few days of happy video playing the freezes/restarts came back. I want to put the stock recovery back on and do a full reset...but I havent really looked into doing it, if anyone can point me in the right direction that would be swell.
[Dell Streak 7] crzayalex:
Okay I see. Thanks Z4nd4r. I think I might just leave it at HC cuz it is too much work to get it back down to 2.2.2

HallucinatingElvis, good luck! Is yours the wifi version? The stock rom for the wifi version is in this forum. One of the top posts. You should be able to find it easily.
[Dell Streak 7] HallucinatingElvis:
Well I just fired off an RMA request to New Egg, I figure if im spending 300 bucks it should be able to play a frickin video without choking. Im simply asking for a new one, hopefully I wont experience the same issues otherwise ill try and see if they'll let me exchange it for something else. I really like the little bastard too...:mad:
[Dell Streak 7] crzayalex:
Ohh aww. Its okay, when you get a new one it will be all better. Best of luck to you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bls2633:

Again, sorry for posting this without doing the research to figure this out for myself but I just dont have the time. I appreciate any help you can give.

[GT540 Optimus General] leosinto:
I don't have much information regarding CM7 M6 or lower versions. It seems to me that its related posts assume all readers are fully aware of its functionalities and bugs. Honestly, I am new to android and this phone is my first phone that I want to experiment but without bricking my phone. If you could point me to a threat or post that provide full detail of individual release, I will be very satisfied.

I read some threats regarding M6. There is a non favorable issue of freezing complaint by many users. It is better to wait for Joestone to come with an update. I do not want to take risks at this time.
[Galaxy S II General] KidIndustructable:
I know there is a thread about this somewhere in development (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1026669), but I'm not allowed to post there as this is my first post.

I thought it may be useful for a post about how to get this going, specifically on the galaxy s2.

All you have to do is make one edit to the build.prop

Your build.prop should have one entry:

ro.build.model=GT-I9100

You just need to change it to read ro.build.model=Nexus S , then reboot and it should work fine. I have had no problems.

The only issue I have had so far is that it stuffs up swype completely.

So, hopefully this post helps some people, but my question is (and I assume this is very simple, but im pretty new to learning android): is there a way to write a program (or zip for for flashing with clockwork mod) that will automatically switch the two build.props and reload?

[Droid X General] navizzle:
Hello all,

I just installed the gingerbread update for the droid x yesterday. I got to say I absolutely hate it! My music application doesn't seem to be working. My music files dont work at all. My phone doesn't run smoother whatsoever. I'm actually noticing a lot of lagging even when my phone is in maximum performance mode. On my texting app my keyboard doesnt work well. It also lags. I dont want to flash my phone but at the same time I want to go back to froyo. Is there anything I can do? If this isnt possible Id like to at least get my phone to work smoothly with GB. Any help would be greatly appreicated. Thanks in advance.
[Droid X General] openbox9:
You can flash back to Froyo or you can try a factory reset on you GB config. I've seen some reports that it helps random issues experienced with the OTA GB.
[Droid X General] wisekb:
I have the same symptoms. I don't really want to lose my application data, and I forgot to do a data backup before upgrading. Is there any application (like Titanium backup) that can save my settings without having root (unlike Titanium backup)? Is there any path for me that would preserve my app data? I have seen several postings that recommend SBF-ing back to Froyo and then using the rooted upgrade. If I follow this path, will I lose application data? It seems to me that the options are:

1) factory reset

2) SBF back to Froyo before updating with rooted Gingerbread

3) wait for root on OTA Gingerbread and do a Titanium backup

Option #1 is guaranteed to lose my data. Option #2 I'm not sure about. Option #3 is where I am now, and it's downright painful. My phone is barely functional at the moment.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
Option 2 is option 1 taken a step further. If you don't wipe data, it may not boot. If all of your apps are from the market, they will just download again after it
[Droid X General] wisekb:
I'm not worried about apps. I'm worried about the data. It will take forever to get three stars on every level of Angry Birds. :) It's not all about Angry Birds, but I think you get the idea. Does the data get backed up to Google as well? I don't think it would.
[Droid X General] wisekb:
So, I have not gotten an answer to this. Anyone have any suggestions on how I can revert from the OTA update without losing my application data? For example, is there a way to mount the phone filesystem in Linux and copy the files?
[Droid X General] frub3nz:
Copy /data/data to your sdcard.

I just got off the phone with a tier 2 support person,(Yeah, I know) to get my ESN swapped for the 3G issue, and she said we are getting a couple of updates starting Wed. One of them is a Mobile Hotspot update. All she would say about the second one was it was a minor software update.

Locking down Mobile Hotspot and tethering? Any one else heard any thing?

Not saying it is going to happen, just passing on what I was told, and guessing at why.

I'm getting an OTA update right now. Don't know the details, only that I'll probably have to re-root again. Bah!
[Fascinate General] sageDieu:
The Droid X gingerbread leak had a bunch of locks in it for tethering and the hotspots. If you even open like any wireless tether app it would block off 3g until a reboot and redirect you to a Verizon page telling you to pay for tethering if you tried to actually use it.

tl;dr tread carefully, any tethering related updates could be bad.
