[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
ROFL this is definitely some mind blowing news. Wow I just woke up am I dreaming this. I'm suprised motorola is that cheap 12 billion makes me wonder why tmobile was more expensive 39 billion motorola has been around a lot longer and I thought there sales in multiple markets were pretty good
[Epic 4G General] GuestK00145:
Anyone else think Google is going to buy the rest of the android team. ( Samsung, HTC)

It could be good, our future phones software will come directly from google & not be chopped and screwed like they are now.

I doubt apple would try to sue google if that happens.
[Epic 4G General] malcolmXman:
This is crazy, I can only imagine how big Google will be 10 years from now, now they have some serious patents and will always have ad money, and that will only grow in the long run.
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
that will never happen... those companies are very happy right now however. the patents from motorola secure androids future against attacks from microsoft and apple, which is great for companies like samsung and HTC who are heavily invested in android

It has already been posted in a few of the other Moto Device forums but I figured I would share with my community. Breaking News on CNN.com is that Google plans to acquire Motorola Mobility for $12.5 Billion... Here's to hoping and wishing good things come if this all goes tru!!!!
[Motorola Droid X2] ilovesoad:
Hopefully this means good things for us, but we may be a bit early to the party lol.

Words cannot describe how happy this makes me.
[Motorola Droid X2] Ihatepullups:
Is it such a stretch to think that future phones from motorola, if this goes through, will be open source? That would be awesome!
[Motorola Droid X2] zakth:
It would be nice to think that they would unlock bootloaders and things of that nature but to be honest this is more of a patent grab. I would not be shocked to see them turn around and sell this to someone else after they get what they wanted from it.
[Motorola Droid X2] goudeyman95:
So what do you think this means for us?

Hopefully getting rid of the awful motoblur, adding better long term support for devices, and UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER!!!!

What do you guys think we'll get out of this deal?
[Motorola Droid X2] L2_n19h7m4r3:
I think this deal has been in the works for sometime. Yes, it's the patents, but Google needs a hardware company to call their own; Motorola has good hardware. I am confident that we will get unlocked bootloaders soon; and future stock upgrades of Android straight from Google.
[Motorola Droid X2] DAG425:
The way Larry Page's blog post reads it is definitely a patent grab, but yes, Google needs a hardware manufacturer. Page states that Moto Mobility will continue to run as a separate company, but having Google as overseer of the goings on at Moto Mobility will definitely provide the dev community with much needed support, as long as the dev community applies the needed pressure...

Hi,

After installing android (2.2) on my Omnia2 i noted the following problems:

- Does not recognize my SDCARD

- Does not recharge the battery

- Wifi malfunctions

- When trying to download from Android Market always says not enough space when in fact I have 2GB of internal storage available.

Anyone know how to get around some of these problems? tks
[Omnia II General] nandinhuuoliveira:
hello everyone,

android after I installed 2.2, my phone began to no longer receive calls and then I saw that your IMEI was reset in android, reboot the phone and the imei in WM, was 000000000000000, how do I get my phone, got it since December 2009.

I can not do without this device, I got hooked on it, kkkkk

(sorry for my english, i`am a Brazilian, :))
[Omnia II General] nandinhuuoliveira:
anybody help-me ???

I'm without my phone, and I researched and could not find any way to solve my problem.

I saw some boxes that are unlocked, and I did not find one that supports the GT-i8000l.

Anyone know where the box that makes this remake of the IMEI

And look at how their stock is already shooting up before the market has even opened: http://www.google.com/finance?q=mmi

Now Google just needs to buy buy Sprint and fix their POS network.
[EVO 4G General] bloodwar:
Waiting patiently for google to buy sprint. Wonder what google is going to have competition with next? Nasa?
[EVO 4G General] LexLuger82:
**** just got real
[EVO 4G General] github:
The main point of the purchase seems to be to buy the patents that Motorola owns. Quite the deal, and would also explain why Google paid a premium ($40/share) for them.

Of course, one could also hope that this means the end of MotoBlur or w/e they call it now.
[EVO 4G General] Lord Pennybags:

[EVO 4G General] Alex@XDA:
Loving my HTC EVO OG but can my next cell be a Google Droid X???
[EVO 4G General] kf2m:
Well /\/\ has been hurting for cash for a good many years. Pretty much how it has played out is /\/\ needs cash to keep the rest of it's business running. So they filed suit against Google because Google has deep pockets (and wants to make their own phones like some Cupertino based firm). It was to save face for /\/\ instead of an outright buyout which would have caused /\/\'s stock to tank (think "Fire Sale"). It makes it look like Google capitulated to /\/\. Everybody wins at the moment. Also I believe that the Cupertino based firm could be infringing on alot of /\/\'s patents (think counter-suit). There is gonna be blood in the coming months between that Cupertino based firm, and Google. Who will win? Good question.

Just my 2 cents. Pure speculation not based on any insider info.
[EVO 4G General] LexLuger82:
Win for Google, next sprint
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
Just as long as my Samsung keeps getting the latest and greatest in Android updates, works for me.

Been real happy with this phone so far, so I could see my next one being a Nexus Droid. ;)
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
Except Droid is a stupid name coined by Verizon not Motorola.
[EVO 4G General] Alex@XDA:
Nevermind, rooting has begun... :)
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
That they actually pay money to Lucasfilm to license.

How about Nexus Blur? Nah, that makes it sound like it has Motoblur on it.

Nexus Cockrocker S 4G Primal
[EVO 4G General] snoopy1e11:
Only way u have a nexus droid is if it comes out on Verizon cuz they have the rights to da name droid. The droid real name is the milestone
[EVO 4G General] flight01:
I agree with everything u said except for the last sentence. I dont think there would be blood because google will have a patent portfolio to stand up to apple. If the two got into patent litigation it would be a big mess and no one would win. This is gonna be like the cold war a build up of arms but not really any actual fighting cuz it would be mutual assured destruction.

Hopefully google will still allow other oems like sammy and htc to run android. Also this could allow google to get a little more cash from oems by havin them pay small liscensing fees so they are protected from the likes of apple and microsoft.

But this is just my opinion
[EVO 4G General] Landara:
Google will not buy Sprint. Google could have if they wanted to by now, they don't. If they were to buy Sprint and come into direct competition with AT&T and Verizon then AT&T and Verizon will not want to sell Android phones in their stores anymore(no more than Sprint would want to sell them if Verizon somehow bought android from Google). By buying Sprint they alienate the 2 largest wireless companies in the US who control 80% or so of the market. Bad move.

Apple will also not buy Sprint, thought hey certainly could. They won't for all the same reasons as above. Verizon and AT&T aren't gonna want to sell Apple phones if Apple comes into direct competition with them.

Comcast has apparently looked into buying Sprint as well but for various reasons the move makes little sense for them.

My opinion is that Verizon will buy Sprint. With AT&T buying T-Mobile, Verizon wants desperately to block that sale. Right now it's not clear if the government will allow the AT&T/T-Mobile merger. They seem to be heading for approval though, something Verizon obviously will not want to happen. If Verizon agrees to buy Sprint the gov. will have to make a difficult decision. They can't tell AT&T that they can buy T-Mobile and then turn around and tell Verizon that they can't buy Sprint since it's essentially the same thing. Therefore they will either have to tell them both that the sales are ok(in which case Verizon is the largest network in America) or they have to block both sales in which case Verizon gets what it's wanted all along. And if both sales are blocked, look for the possibility of Sprint buying out T-Mobile on the rebound. As to why I think this will not happen, and that instead the deal *will* go through and then Verizon will buy Sprint it's because Verizon clearly should NOT want the AT&T T-mobile merger to pass, it only hurts them. However they have been strangely silent, even a little supportive publicly of the merger. To me this indicates that they probably think they are better off owning Sprint and competing with the new larger(but not as large as they are) AT&T than they are as things sit now.

Another possible byproduct of Google buying Motorola is that now other manufacturers may not be inclined to use Android on their handsets since Motorola, one of their key competitors, is now owned by Google. By supporting Google they will now be forced to also support their competition. This can only help Apple.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Google hated blur this much huh?
[EVO 4G General] Indirect:
Not gonna lie matty, that made me laugh pretty hard.
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
Yes I know. It is Verizon though so you will not have a Nexus "Droid"
[EVO 4G General] rfvreynoso:
Matty..., That comment made my week man. I'm still laugh everytime I read it.

Google does have deep pockets and I cannot wait to see what Google has in mind with the new acquisition.
[EVO 4G General] detcup4evr:
So my guess is Comcast will toss it's hat in the Ring. lol I don't like that company at all and they seem to be everywhere. I am constiantly trying to avoid dealing with them.

On a side note Sprint isn't in the best buying shape, Can't even decide on a 4g standard or cover a large portion of there subscribers.

I still think Big Red will wait until Sprint is going Belly Up and swoop in and take it over I could see big red enter 4g lte roaming agreement with sprint, since sprint is going lte, Let sprint rack up huge debt that they pay big red in Preferred stock until sprint goes belly up and Big Red gets paid with Sprints assets; 4g towers and subscribers, and leave the rest to for the vultues.

A take over that requires no Government approval.
[EVO 4G General] detcup4evr:
Or did they like it that much? lol
[EVO 4G General] Landara:
Nobody likes Motoblur don't be silly.
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
$12.5 billion is a small price to pay to get rid of Blur.
[EVO 4G General] Landara:
While I agree with the above Google has no intention of making cell phones. Thye just wanted Motorolas patents. They have said they will not take a direct role in the company and in fact MotoMob will still have to bid for the Nexus contract every year with the other handset manufacturers. So it looks like MotoBlur is here to stay :(
[EVO 4G General] RBPolaris:
Motorola already receives preferential treatment from Google, and there's no way this deal will not tighten that relationship even further. HTC, Samsung, and the other manufacturers can't help but feel threatened and see Google as a competitor now. Look for Microsoft to capitalize on this by picking up more support from the other hardware manufacturers...
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Moto remains a separate entity. This was a patent purchase, nothing more nothing less. For now.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Companies spending billions buying other companies in order to stop patent lawsuits.

Do we need any further proof that the patent system needs a total revamping?
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Why would Google choose Moto exclusively and lose potential sales from HTC and their biggest cash cow Samsung?
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I wasn't disagreeing with you.
[EVO 4G General] jamiejayhawk:
S&P downgraded Google stock from buy to sell over this proposed merger. Thanks Google, glad my 25g investment is being protected.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Oh noes...

I think Google is gonna be just fine bud.

A minor bump in the road for the stock doesn't mean the end.
[EVO 4G General] jamiejayhawk:
Yeah its actually the fact that they have underperformed due to expenditures this year. Its cool I'm in for the long haul. As a matter of fact I'm from kck where the first Google high speed network is going in. That's right #winning
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
Well, if S&P's track record for accurate predictions continues to hold true here, your investment will be just fine.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Agreed.

Blur is good if you have really bad eyes and I want really big widgets though.

[Motorola Droid 3] iomthd:
Anybody else see the news on this? I'm hoping for great things in the distant future!
[Motorola Droid 3] n0manarmy:
This is a game changer for the industry. I'm not saying Google's going to come in and dominate now that they have a cell phone production company. This does mean that each business that competes in the cell phone market will have to re-evaluate how they approach the competition.
[Motorola Droid 3] tcrews:
I'm hoping it'll also means we get some pure vanilla Android devices from Motorola like the original Droid was.....
[Motorola Droid 3] iomthd:
I was thinking the same thing as far as the vanilla android. I'm hoping for a few more keyboard sliders like the droid line as well as quicker updates. Probably won't see it with the D3 but as future devices come out, and it'd definitely be nice.
[Motorola Droid 3] iomthd:
I think the additional control they'll have will allow for better QC. I may dislike the iphone but I do see how working with everything so closely knit allows for a better device overall. I just hope the other alliance manufacturers don't catch a hissy over this.
[Motorola Droid 3] tcrews:
So far, no hissy fits :) LOL But this is also PR speak as well.
[Motorola Droid 3] iomthd:
That's good so far! I'm sure google took special precautions before letting the news out so the other oems wouldn't feel threatened.
[Motorola Droid 3] GoogleAndroid:
Maybe this will mean quicker updates for us in the future, especially if the OMAP4 is the lead platform for ICS. I'd love it if the D3 and Bionic were the first non Nexus devices to get vanilla ICS.
[Motorola Droid 3] elcapitaine:
I'm just thinking of all the possibilities now...(hopefully) we can get things like unlocked bootloader, faster ICS thats hopefully vanilla, and all that fun stuff now.

I was so surprised at this when I read it this morning I actually checked to make sure it wasn't Apr 1.
[Motorola Droid 3] patfactorx:
I hope this means unlocked bootloader and root is coming soon to this phone! Also, we need some ICS!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokey9000:
