[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ruisan:
had exactly the same idea the moment i heard the news. I would propose some kind of petition. Also maybe we can add comments to the official anouncement in Google blog, in an educated and informative way.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] alijs:
in the past 5 months I tried the following:

HTC Hero, Galaxy Vibrant,Motorola Atrix 4G, My touch 4G, Nexus 1, Sony Ericsson X8, Blackberry torch, HTC HD7 & went back to Milestone (in fact I have 2 now)..

I must say that main advantage for Milestone is two things I admire:

- fancy material & great design

- brilliant developers like Kalabadan, Feeo & Lucka

Upon trying unlocked devices such as HTC devices I found out that even for such popular Cyanogen is not that advance compared to Kalabadan work (you can check it out through xda) meaning you need both futures to get perfections (good set specifications & brilliant developers)..

Google acquiring Moto is a great news hoping our brilliant developers to stick with it.

Well Said brother Well said ;)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] asafbo:
a Representative should contact google

You guys need someone high ranked within XDA to prepare a short request concerning the milestone issue and send through the proper channels.

I don't know what are the proper channels, but they can be searched on google site.

In addition, I don't see why not to contact Google through G+.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] DannyDroid:
Unlike Motorola, it is quite easy to contact the higher ups at Google.

Now, to the statement, any ideas on how we should start it? :P

Also, I would like to point out this;

"Once the acquisition is approved (later this year or early 2012), there’s one thing we know will happen to Motorola for sure: the company will continue to function just as it does now. Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha and his team will continue to lead Motorola independently from Google. Larry Page emphasized this over and over in both the blog post and conference call. “We will run Motorola as a separate business,” said Larry Page. Both companies will even have separate finance reports.

In other words, you can expect to see more of the same coming from Motorola — at least for the time being. Sadly, this means MOTOBLUR and locked bootloaders aren’t dying anytime soon. That might change in the long-term, once Google has more control over the company. But for now they’re here to stay."

That is really verry sad, I love the hardware that motorola builds but if there is no change in this politics my next device will be from someone else.

I still hope that there will be changes once the deal is done, I love my Milestone.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] adamz667:
There is still hope out there.

Maybe we get some leak with signing tool or keys.. :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] _crAss_:
They had promised to unlock the bootloader at the end of 2011 before google got into the game. I did not believe them (or they would unlock it with 6-12 months further delay), but now just maybe they keep their promise and unlock the devices when they said they would...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] erfannf2:
I agree and will support your idea. Count on me for any help.

Is it useful to build a facebook page with name: UNLOCK BOOT LOADER, MOTO!!!? If yes, I will do that.

Agree!

Do you have any reference for their promise????
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] linuques:
i'm with you guys.

There is a good chance that Motorola will change some of their policies by Google's influence, and we hope they start unlocking the bootloaders.

But i think a strong petition by the community will help alot.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] DannyDroid:
Motorola never said such a thing. They did however say that start unlocking some handsets depending on unknown to the public factors.

So now that Google has acquired Motorola, what does this mean for us? I would assume the big Android backers like LG and Samsung have plan B's? I know samsung has the Bada O.S., not sure what LG will do. But we can all expect that as of today, all plans for Samsung to continue android development has all but ceased. Wouldn't make good sense for them to continue to put money in Google's pocket now that they are in the hardware business.

in case you haven't seen it...

It would be silly for Samsung to stop making android phones. Your assumption is just that, and it's not a very good one.

If you believe google bought Motorola for just the patents, pass the pipe this way....

Google could have paid a fraction of that, to buy the patents and give motorola a long term lease on them that expires beyond the patent. This occurs frequently. Google just did this a few weeks ago where they bought 1000+ patents from IBM.

Google bought Motorola for both reasons. They realized that apple is running the table with profits on hardware. You can only make so much money giving away your stuff for free.
[Verizon Droid Charge] galaxyuser88:
I hate when companys do stuff like this. This will only turn into another iphone type company. You will see the cost of phones going up.. Google is trying to be the next Apple.

We can all kiss open source goodbye. :mad:

[Verizon Droid Charge] yutzybrian:
Definitely a good thing. Google will remain open source (they're not dumb enough to put an end to that) and it helps with the frivolous legal battle apple and microsoft has been going after everyone about. I just hope they finally unlock the motos soon. Always liked the phones but I love custom roms too much to deal with a locked bootloader (thus why my X2 went bye bye)

[Verizon Droid Charge] Lodingi:
I wouldn't worry. Google purchasing Motorola actually benefits all Android device manufacturers.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
What does Google buying Motorola MOBILITY have to do with the other android OEM's? Nothing. Google just did this to back up all their OEM's with Motorola's patents.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Raccroc:
Another thing people don't seem to realize is that if Google does begin to behave badly, Samsung et al can just fork the code base.

Nothing is stopping Samsung, LG, HTC, Amazon, BN, and others from forming a consortium to develop there own brand of forked Android OS for use on their own smart phones.
[Verizon Droid Charge] orateam:
For those that are optimistic, sorry to disappoint, but this is not. I’ve seen this same situation many times and it never works out. In fact, think of the last time this situation has turned out positive for the co-dependents.

I was at a huge oracle conference when oracle stabbed their 2 biggest sponsors in the heart. These sponsors (HP and Redhat) paid millions for sponsorship. They had their logos on stages, bags handed out, and BANG! Oracle announced on Day 1 that they were acquiring SUN and supporting all unix O.S. by themselves. HP had just the previous year made a huge deal with oracle on an agreement to be their primary hardware supplier and even worked on Oracle’s newest tech, oracle exadata, with them. At first, all the lovey dovey stuff came out and HP and oracle both said this was going to be great for both of them. Redhat said the boost in Unix OS would be good for them. NOT TRUE. Redhat is barely staying alive after putting all their eggs in the oracle basket. HP partnered with Microsoft to make the next big thing in the HP slate, vaporware, only to have to buy the PALM O.S. which isn’t working too good. It’s always like this. The mobile industry is about to become a 2 horse race. Samsung, HTC, LG, I see T.V. Sets in your future.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Raccroc:
Nope, different situation. Oracle's bread and butter is, and has always been, very proprietary software and consulting services. Once they had there own underling OS and control of Java, they quickly began bringing as much as possible in house. That was the Oracle mentality from the giddy-up though and Red Hat/HP should have been aware of that. Very common with companies like that (MS, for example, has a very long and sordid history of doing the same thing).

Google is quite a bit different. For one thing, their bread and butter isn't in Android as an OS, it is in data collection and analytics (for advertising, marketing, and such) as well as various cloud services. Hardware margins being what they are, and Google's core business being what it is, it will be in Google's best interest to make sure that Android continues to be on as much hardware as possible.
[Verizon Droid Charge] robby88:
yeah if anything the acquisition should be a good thing, hopefully they will take the moto phones and unlock them and put some pressure on other companies to follow suit. i think they will do some good things with moto's hardware and get other companies on top of their stuff, IE updates, unlocked bootloaders, not such garbage UI's, etc, etc......
[Verizon Droid Charge] orateam:
Love ya response. It's a very good point. I looked a little more into it and found that motorola aquired General instruments. The company every cable company uses for it's DVR. apparently motorola owns the DVR patents and is currently suing TIVO. if motorola wins, nobody will be able to record T.V. but them. If Google can get into every Cable box and keep apple from ever creating a DVR.......

Samsung said this:

“We welcome today’s news, which demonstrates Google’s deep commitment to defending Android, its partners, and the ecosystem.”

J.K. Shin, president of Samsung’s Mobile Communications division.

If anything this will boost more innovation.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Falcyn:
"This acquisition will not change our commitment to run Android as an open platform. Motorola will remain a licensee of Android and Android will remain open. We will run Motorola as a separate business. Many hardware partners have contributed to Android’s success and we look forward to continuing to work with all of them to deliver outstanding user experiences."

-Larry Page (http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/supercharging-android-google-to-acquire.html)

Google is anything but stupid, and they're not going to go shooting their partners -- which are the reason Android's so successful -- in the foot. Yes, this is obviously going to result in stronger competition for HTC, Samsung, LG, etc., and of course they aren't going to be thrilled about that, but it also drastically strengthens them against patent trolls and exorbitant patent licensing fees can cut into profits even more than stronger competition.

Plus, keep in mind that Motorola has a seriously low market share compared to HTC or Samsung -- they're in seventh place worldwide. This isn't like if Google bought HTC (which could have afforded to do -- but didn't because HTC has a tiny patent portfolio). In other wordS: if Motorola were the only one making Android handsets, Android would quickly fall to third or fourth place in the OS race.

Anyways, long story short: this means nothing for us other than that the next time we buy a phone, Motorola handsets may be better options. Of course, it just may spur competitors to keep up faster with updates, etc., leading to better devices all-around. Either way, we, the consumers, win.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
+ 1
[Verizon Droid Charge] orateam:
i get that is what is being said, but if i were in Samsung or HTC's camp, i would be re-considering my funding into a technology where the software i've been depending on could be pulled away at any moment. Now that google has the hardware side covered, if HTC and Samsung keep throwing money that way, it's a big risk.

Microsoft could always have bought a hardware company like Dell, but it knew what that would do to the confidence of other builders. IMO, google should just have bought the patents.
[Verizon Droid Charge] vash1053:
Like someone else said, it's in Google's best interest to keep android on as many devices as possible. I seriously doubt anything will change for sammy or htc.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Falcyn:
Actually, Microsoft's "exclusive strategic alliance" with Nokia makes it so Microsoft already effectively owns their entire phone business -- and not just because both Nokia and it's US subsidiary are now run by former Microsoft executives.

For example: not only will Nokia handsets exclusively run Windows Phone, but they'll get preferential treatment beyond even what Motorola will get, like running new versions first and the exclusive right to skin and modify the OS. Contrast that to Google/Motorola, where Google's own subsidiary will have to compete against external companies for contracts to make Nexus models!

So, just like HTC, Samsung, and LG continue to make Windows Phone handsets despite being disadvantaged competitively AND the OS selling poorly, you can be quite certain they'll continue selling devices with the world's best-selling smartphone OS.
[Verizon Droid Charge] madsquabbles:
i used to love macs when other companies were making them and making them better... power computing, umax, etc.

so it could be a good thing. there'll be the google/moto reference stock model and then all the 3rd party models with different features.
[Verizon Droid Charge] neyenlives:
The guy behind Cyanogenmod aparrently just got hired by Samsung. Sounds like good news to me. Whats all this doom and gloom about?
[Verizon Droid Charge] xceebeex:
I was just going to post this as well. Google is not stupid, they obviously did this for a reason and it was not to kill anything not Motorola, especially since overall the Galaxy S was one if the best, if not the best, selling android phones.
[Verizon Droid Charge] pc1990:
No way! Android is not going to run exclusively on Moto's. Samsung is still going to make phones because they are one of top suppliers of parts. I just read recently that 40% of the iPhone is made up of Samsung parts! And in the end it is all about the money. Google is going profit more if they allow their Android OS on a # of devices rather than just one. I personally don't know why they would buy Motorola but maybe it is for Google's new fiber-optic network. Motorola is big in the networking industry and that could be the reason.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Turb0wned:
Damn, thats even better news than google buying motorola. Samsung has really been stepping it up, its the reason i dont have my iphone or ipad anymore. Galaxy tab 10.1 and droid charge till the sgs2 comes to vzw!

Think about it. Samsung is WAY too large of a company, HTC is too small, and Motorola is just the right size, plus a TON of patents.

I am looking for a good comprehensive guide to creating my own .zip files to flash certain changes I like to make when flashing a rom or just adding files.

Hello,

I'm in the Atlanta, Ga area and seem to have Wi-Max issues. When streaming internet radio, does anyone else have issues with Wi-Max stop receiving signals? It plays good for about 2 or 3 minutes then stops playing and tries to go to 3G. You can see both the 4G and 3G icons. Also does anyone else have issues with the handoff from 4G to 3G and vice versa. It tends to be horrible for me. I lose all internet connections. Instead of music resuming or internet resuming, it completely stops. I have to close the program and reopen it. Sometimes I have to turn the phone off and back on. And the Wi-Max area I live in has full Wi-Max coverage. It's getting very annoying to have your internet music buffering and you are still on 4G. Does Wi-Max not connect well with moving objects? If I use just 3G the radio plays fine without any stops or buffering. I didnt have this issue with the thunderbolt or at&t service. Just seeing if others in the area or anywhere else is having the same issues.

Thanks

Hi all

Does anyone else use PingChat! the instant messenger?

From a fresh boot, the PingChat services seem to consume less than 10mb. As I use my phone (and PingChat!) over the space of a day or 2, the memory consumption of this application just seems to go up. I have seen it as high as 44mb(!) and I haven't actually used it for a few hours. I can understand it needs to run constantly (for the push notification service to work) but I think this much memory is excessive.

Does anyone else notice this behaviour? Any suggestions? i don't really want 50mb being used by an application that I may use!!
