[Motorola Droid 3] royolpunk:
I could simply not take iOS anymore. No customization, and I missed my Thunderbolt. So I decided to man up and get a DROID 3. What can I expect out of this device that seems to be sold out everywhere, even in retail stores.

I was so pumped to get it today but then the VZ Rep said "we're out of it you're not getting it till wednesday :("
[Motorola Droid 3] 1234567188:
Honestly, the keyboard, it is the best mobile keyboard ever.
[Motorola Droid 3] royolpunk:
i got to play with it for a few seconds today, and i only played with the keyboard for like 2 seconds...so don't really have an opinion on that:P

hows the lack of RAM coming along? is it affecting performance in any way

honestly all i do on my phone is just check fb/twitter, pulse, and text and call

a few games now and then
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
I don't seem to notice any adverse effects of low RAM, but this is my first Android phone so I have nothing to compare to. Its amazing how much RAM some of this bloatware uses, but it still runs pretty fast. Can't wait to see how much this thing flies when its rooted.
[Motorola Droid 3] idkwhothatis123:
Hope you didn't order it within the last few days at corporate. Backordered and dfills wont be processed till the 12th, which is a Friday. Therefore you wont see it till the following monday

I'm a corporate sales Rep, the timetables are in Infomanager if you need a point of reference for your Rep.
[Motorola Droid 3] royolpunk:
What?! Are you serious the rep told me it would come this wednesday

I ordered it today :P

And I live in Cali, bay area if that makes a difference
[Motorola Droid 3] idkwhothatis123:
Idk, I live in Illinois. From my ubdeestanding its a warehouse thing. We didn't expect this phone to sell this much. Just ask him to look it up in infomanager. Its on the home page, second column.
[Motorola Droid 3] MinionOfEckerd:
An overwhelming sense of happiness and freedom?! :D

Since I've never owned an iPhone, I can't say much to switching from iOS to Android but it is an incredible operating system with millions and millions of ways to customize it to your liking.
[Motorola Droid 3] idkwhothatis123:
... once root is achieved
[Motorola Droid 3] royolpunk:
No? You can hella customize even without root.

And wtf are you talking about, I jus called VZ customer service and they have stock in the warehouse and they said they'll ship it tomorrow.
[Motorola Droid 3] spacecasespiff:
There are some people that need to root there phones to enjoy it and some that don't. I love android because you can do a bunch of really cool stuff and yes you can do some other cool stuff when rooted that you can't with out root. To me I don't care a lot about root but I like it for a few cool things but im an android stock fanboy.
[Motorola Droid 3] royolpunk:
Can't wait until wednesday
[Motorola Droid 3] idkwhothatis123:
Must be a Midwest thing. If you ordered one today you wont see it till the 17th. Big time back order here.
[Motorola Droid 3] Trigonous:
West coast likely has more stock. I've had mine for a few weeks but it got here with two-day shipping just like they said (Arizona).

But coming from iOS the major difference is that Google has no interest in controlling how you use your device, as far as they care you are free to do anything with it. Moto and Verizon care a little, but it's still not locked down as tight as the iPhone, especially in the App Market.
[Motorola Droid 3] royolpunk:
i just got my shipping confirmation:)

it shipped from in-state (l.a. area) and i live in bay area, so hopefully it comes tomorrow instead of wednesday

i know ohw to use android lol, i switched from the thunderbolt to the iphone because i had to do some school stuff
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
Even unrooted Android is still a lot more open than iOS. For example you can install a SNES emulator, supply your own ROMs and you're instantly playing the classics. On iOS this will require a jailbreak, easy to do, but it voids your warranty. You can pretty much install what you want from an apk file even if the app isn't in the marketplace.

Android has the advantage of being spread across a wide variety of devices. Its not a one device fits all market. Some like a physical keyboard like the Droid 3, some want a larger screen and could care less about a physical keyboard like the Droid X2, etc.
[Motorola Droid 3] Cyrus221:
The main thing is that the iphone has more control over the apps it runs. For example, on android you can close an app and 10 minutes later its back open, whereas the iphone wont do this.

edit: you can get apps that can help with this, like advanced task killer set to highest level

also, the appstore is all meant for the iphone whereas some of the apps in the market are splintered, with some not being able to work because of hardware differences. it doesnt always happen that often, but when it does its like heartbreak.

Android is the new windows vista, bro.

If you can live with those two things, the experience is far superior and you will like how everything works vs an apple product. plus, you wont have to be a hipster//macfag anymore :)
[Motorola Droid 3] royolpunk:
Lol I've been using android for over a year. I know how it works haha. Just that I was using an iphone for a while so I was wondering if anything interesting happend during my absence
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jmurph3:
I have a common issue among many Captivates involving the power button not working correctly. I'm positive it is a hardware issue so the need to know if I'm rooted, custom ROM, ect. is not needed. Has anyone actually fixed their power button? If so, where did you find spare parts at? What tools and skills were needed?

Thanks, John.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jmurph3:
Well, I think I temporarily fixed my problem. I pulled the outer casing off and cleaned around the shell. Dust can and will build up in there. I played around with the button itself and it felt like it clicked pretty good. After I put it back together, the power button seems to be working almost like normal with the exception of a few 'sticks'
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adicool:
My cappy doesnt have any problem with the power button :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x2dazxibet:
Yeah it could be a hardware malfunction...but most likely if your able to temporary fix it through cleaning it ...then it is probably not registering the button due to dust or particle build up in the system
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xijar:
Can't replace button. Just the plastic. Prettymuch have to clean it or get a new phone.

Ps. I've warrantied a cappy for sticky buttons. Just thought id mention it if you have insurance/warranty.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
The power button is a very simple 4 solder replacement. You just have to get the parts. Don't say you "can't" replace it.. It's actually the easiest part on the main board to replace because of it's relatively large size.

Generally, when the buttons stick it's because they've come misaligned. Open the case, ensure the plastic buttons are mounted where they should be and replace the case.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xijar:
Sorry adam I was under the impression it was much harder to seperate the button from the board. I also understand that thinking what I thought it still wouldn't truly be impossible. I should phrase things better ill be more careful.

I accidentally denied access to an app and it remembered my decision. How do I change it to allowed?
[HTC EVO 3D] Gumby63:
Pretty sure go to settings, applications, manage applications, find superuser then either clear It's data or cache . Someone correct me if I'm wrong
[HTC EVO 3D] dastin1015:
Go into your Superuser app and then select the app you denied and select forget. After that try to use your app again.

[HTC Sensation] shadowblade12:
Hello, I got a new HTC sensation a few days ago and I've noticed an odd problem with my screen. I've heard of the overheating battery, but for me that isn't the problem. Oddly enough the only thing that overheats is the actual touchscreen, mainly the bottom portion with the haptic feedback buttons. The screen only overheats if the phone is in use for a period of time, but if it's sleeping then it stays cool. I just wanted to know if this is common and if I should be concerned with it.
[HTC Sensation] xboarder56:
idk if its a problem or not but mine does the same thing too
[HTC Sensation] shadowblade12:
Phew, glad I'm not the only one. I'm just worried if it might damage the circuitry inside since the screen can get pretty hot.
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
I got the sensation yesterday. Was dissapointed at how fast it heats up there. but I have to say, compared to my g1 and n1 it cools down reaaallyyy fast!
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
The dual core cpu is behind there, thats why :)
[HTC Sensation] sinmantx:
I had the same issue and after looking at the screen brightness I noticed that it was not on Automatic, changed the settings and it’s noticeably cooler.
[HTC Sensation] tmosda:
It's actually the battery not the CPU that heats up
[HTC Sensation] jslim38:
Yes it is common mine does the same and it heats up faster when playing HD games but when serfing the web it doesn't heat up at the bottom of the screen
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
same here, even though i'd set it to automatic previously :confused:
[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
Have any of you owned an android device before? Pretty much all of the ones i have had heat up ESPECIALLY When connected to wifi,charging and playing games.~Only difference is this one has more than TWICE THE POWER of any of my old devices, i would worry if it didnt get hot.Just my 2 cents
[HTC Sensation] anarchyuk:
I have owned a fair few phones and had every android t-mobiles released in my hand for at least 48 hours and non show heat problems like some of these devices.. i think when the undervolting is done and a scalling the problem is decreased.. But my first sensation died while on charge and was stupidly hot round the touch buttons.. My second sensation hardly gets hot but is now awaiting UPS to take it in for a power button repair..

The architecture of the chip and the expected heat output should not cause the other components of the phone or the chip die to critically fail.. These are the first generation dual core cpu's and I am sure they will learn by the mistakes made with having the ariel's etc in the wrong places.. shame we have to be guinea pigs.. Will be good to see if they have took notice and the XE doesnt suffer some of the issues..

the back cover issue has certainly beeen attempted to be address'd they have 3 revisions of it out so far...
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
3 revisions? Wat?
[HTC Sensation] anarchyuk:
yeah, I have 3 covers all with different revision numbers and holes in different places.... also one screw in a different place.... not sure the relevance of that can show u a pic of 2 of them if u like

[Acer Iconia A500] thormanj:
Hello all,

I need help recovering my semi bricked tab. Here is what I have done so far.

I have tried to flashing the tab but having issues with it.

I successfully loaded Virtuous Xoom v.1.1.2 onto my Acer A500. After playing around with it, I felt that I was not ready for it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1167391

So I flashed a 3.1 image to the tablet, now google.app fails. I was able for a moment to install Acer Recovery App, but the tablet is not rooted yet.

Im unable to download any more apps for the market place. Ie terminal or file explore to apply the root.

Only have access to stock recovery, so unable to push 3.2 back on the tablet.

Have tried to adb device, yet it does not list it. And I dont have "Settings" to wipe to factory.

Any suggestion to fix my tab.

Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] thormanj:
Well, Im fixed the problem by resetting the information. Found a method by using the hardware buttons to invoke a data reset.

What makes his involvement so great is that he makes really good roms, put it this way. The Droid 3 is out and people are still rocking the OG Droid with Bugless beast. Yeah he's been here since the beginning but this means he'll be making roms for our NS4Gs

How can i run clockwork without turning my phone on? My phone is bootlooping at the moment so i cant turn it on to run System Recovery. When i run recovery from boot the traditional way it only loads the factory recovery...
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
Put it into stock recovery and factory reset
[Motorola Droid X2] blakestiffler:
then what?
[Motorola Droid X2] blakestiffler:
nevermind i got it sumhow. I dont know how but i got cwm to run one minute when only the factory recovery would run a minute ago.
[Motorola Droid X2] LancerV:
You just need to plug it in to a wall charger
[Motorola Droid X2] blakestiffler:
okay i figured it out. Pull the battery from the phone. Press and hold the down volume buttom while plugging the phone into a wall charger. You should see "fastboot" at the top. Then very quickly almost simultaneously press volume down then volume up it should quickly reboot into clockwork if done right.
[Motorola Droid X2] blakestiffler:
wall charger alone wont start clockwork for me

cant get to the download mode

cant get to the recovery

cant power on the phone

it hasnt yet been 30 days since ive had the phone, so could i take it back to the store and just say its not turning on can i get an exchange?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] phreshjoker:
Yeah just say it wont turn on

Or you could follow the directions posted in this link to unbrick, as posted by Jager in the General SGS4G forum.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
It still may work.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chris31jct:
It happens to me all the time. Just plug phone to computer holding volume up and down at same time. It shows the phone-cable-pc thingy and that's download mode. I went into that when I failed to Odin by mistake and just decided to try to Odin while in that "mode" and it did flashed. Hope this helped.

*Have Odin open before you plug cuz' that way you know it found the device.

*I think this method shown on Rootzwiki I discovered first but never posted. It happened while flashing 1st Audiophile. LOL... anyway, w/e. Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Try this even if the screen stays black/off, as long as Odin recognizes it (You'll get the yellow box with COM# in it) these steps will help.
