The one thing everyone seems to forget though is how old this phone will be once this actually goes through. It takes a long time for the legal part of corporate acquisitions to go through. Google won't actually be having a say in moto for at least a year, if not longer. It wasn't really to have a hardware company anyways, it was a patent grab for protection. They have also said moto will remain a separate company and act as such, so...
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
The other part of the equation is the dev community. With active, dedicated developers, many good things can come our way. Most of the best stuff we had on the fascinate wasn't the result of anything specifically released for the vzw fascinate. Alot was adapted by our devs from releases for other galaxy s variants, but we benefited from it because of their efforts. That's why I think we need to treat them as the resource that they are. One of the best devs on the fascinate recently left xda because of all the drama & he wasn't the first. If you want more work to be done on this phone than you gotta do your part to lessen the crap, not make more.
[Motorola Droid X2] ericerk:
But it also had an unlocked bl and that help'd make a couple dev's come, we have 3 devs and i don't think any of them are happy
[Motorola Droid X2] DrGlitchyPhD:
I know google aquiring Motorola really wasn't gonna change anything at least for awhile, but I mean moto hasn't been the slowest on updates. Although Verizon may get in the way of any speedy update
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
You are right there. Samsung is more dev friendly with initial firmware features but from what I've gathered their code's a frustrating nightmare & updates are painfully slow. Plus the nonstandard file structure adds the necessity of conversion for any type of real performance kick. Nothing is perfect, that's for sure. I'm just thankful to have a phone that works like a phone first and a hobby second.

As far as the devs are concerned, nitro & naven did excellent work for the fascinate community & I've been really thankful to see them here, not to minimize any of the other contributors on this forum in any way. All of them do something I don't know how to & I get to benefit from it; that's win-win in my book. So, what can we do as participants & beneficiaries to make these guys want to stick around?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] RazoE:
Hey guys, is anyone else here experiencing the battery level going up when you restart the phone?

If my battery is at 70%, and I restart it, it'll be at 76% or even higher and remain that way for quite a while (remains a consistantly drain, not a single major drain in a short period of time)

This is something that's been happening since I was stock (Retail device from T-mobile store on launch date)

Here's some info:

-S-OFF using Revolutionary, and then later upgraded to 4.0.0.9 via terminal emulator

-Rooted stock (no rom uploaded)

-1900 mha Anker battery

-Battery stats wiped

-UncleSpoon's battery icon mod

even after all that, it'll still do it. So is it just me, or is everyone else experiencing this?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Yes, you have to re-calibrate your battery stats.

No, the CWM menu option to wipe battery stats is not right, for some reason.

Go get this free app: Battery Calibration

Charge your battery all the way up and let it sit charging for a few minutes after you see the light turn green (while turned on and booted up)

After it's been green for a few minutes, open this app and click the big "calibrate" button, and then un-plug it from the charger.

Let it run down until it turns itself off, without plugging it in. This means no usb to the computer, either - and don't turn it off manually.

After it turns itself off from lack of juice, plug it in (wait about 30 seconds) and then turn it back on. If you turn it on too quickly weird things may happen, depends on how depleted the battery is. (usually there is 1 or 2 % left so it's ok)

Leave it plugged in and turned on until fully charged. After that, you can feel free to play with it, but you should run it up and down a few more times without charging in-between. The first one is critical to do this way, though, or you are just wasting your time.

You MUST be rooted, or it will not work. (said for others who may need this info)

Tip to drain battery - screen brightness all the way up, screen to not turn off, and turn the flashlight app on. Leave it sit for a few hours.

Tip to charge quickly while on: Turn all wireless and data communication off, tap power button to turn screen off (keeping phone on)

Good luck, it'll solve the problem though.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] RazoE:
I used battery calibration to wipe my battery stats (I did it in recovery on my 3G Slide, so I'm aware of that alternative method)..

I've let my stock battery get to 0% but that was pre-root.

After reading all the charging problems with the CWM, I was a bit afraid to attempt the 0% drain on the new Anker.

Are you running 4.0.0.9, and does it charge fine? I'd hate to deplete an Anker since I have no external battery charger.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Ace42:
Removing the stats only doesn't calibrate the battery, check the calibration guide in my sig, for a correct method that works for any android device.

Read this too

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ekoee:
Seriously, that's a good read.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
I agree.

What I recommended was better then just wiping battery stats with CWM, but nowhere near as good as what Ace42 linked us up to.

I'd recommend reading those threads and doing that instead, I am more then happy to be corrected and shown a better way.

(FYI - I depleted a stock battery completely, both in CWM 4.0.0.8 and 4.0.0.9 to test the charging issue. You will always be able to charge it in the phone, even if you bring it completely to dead.

The idea that you can't is a myth, and was a concern until it was proven not to be true.)

I have some trouble here, which needs kinda urgent attention. My Nexus S suddenly cant get any lines for telco, which make me unable to make any phone call. It's weird as this suddenly happened and i have no idea what's going on. Previously my phone was working perfectly! I have checked that airplane mode is always turned off.

for the past few days I've been having the same problem.

i plug my SGS to the computer and keep on having the same error. "device not recognized"

neither can update on KIES, nor mass store anything.

tried everything. drivers, etc.

sad part is, it works on my laptop, and my xperiaX8 works on the desktop.

i fear it has something to do with the "pci simple communications controller" a device which i can't update the drivers on the device manager. it appears so since i formatted my computer, after having installed Ubuntu. i also has an error on the tv card wish crashed my computer when installing the drivers (but that's good, since i removed the card xD).

When you install cm7 your phone is not Samsung galaxy s anymore. it's google nexus s, so you have to install nexus s drivers for your computer to recognize your phone.

i can connect my x8 to both the laptop and the desktop, no problem at all
[Xoom General] NoPancakesAllowed:
Hey guys, I'm totally confused what's wrong with my xoom mobile connection. The sim card and 3g work fine when I put the sim into my htc cell, however on the tablet it refuses to work despite the dynamic tray indication (3g changes to hsdpa or to edge, even the up- and download arrows appear), though the indicator color is gray like it doesnt work. I have no idea what's wrong, I tried all the mobile connection settings, still nothing seems to get better. The problem appeared several days after my xoom was updated to official 3.1 (not rooted btw).

It worked fine before and after the update. I rebooted the xoom like 10 times, still no effect, same for factory reseting the xoom twice. In addition, the device network info shows that IP address is unknown.

What can I do to fix the connection? I'd appreciate any help.

seriously guys, no ideas?

I have a similar issue with my Optus MZ601 where it starts H data and then suddenly drops out, ending with the modem seemingly rebooting... Not sure whether this is my coverage in Aus, or whether there are other issues. I tend to suspect "Fast Dormancy" is on and playing a part in all of this, however with out a dialer, there's no way I can do the *#9900# to get into the menu and turn it off to test my theory.

Same problem

I'm having the same issues, It started a few days ago. Updated to 3.1 about a month ago with no problems.

Now I can't connect with 3G. Wifi works fine. tried everything from soft resets to full recovery. My xoom recognizes the sim and shows data connectivity but still can't connect.

Is there a problem with the update?

wow finally I'm not the only one with such problem.

did you guys reinstalled the stock 3.0.1 image? cause that's what I'm intending to do now. the only thing that stops me so far is that I'm not completely sure whether it will void my warranty or not.

I just don't want to find myself with a crippled xoom which moto refuses to take back >_>

So, is anyone else a bit concerned about the rumor that the TMo Galaxy II processor differs from the Sprint/AT&T versions? Aren't kernels build and optimized to a specific processor?

Any of you Vibrant owners with a unique GPS chip ready to plunk down a whole bunch of cash on a brand new phone and wait for Samsung/TMobile to develop and release a special version of Android each time there's a newer version released by the mothership?

Then sell it and use the money towards a nexus 3 purchase. Not messing with t mobile-Samsung tag team of rape like this vibrant.

Nah I'm not worried, maybe it will be 1.5ghz like the original rumors, maybe not the Exynos but a guaranteed dual.core beast. .. and it would meen access to T-Mobile fastest speeds and that's cool..

Honestly people whining about updates are just dumb, when we got froyo many devices didn't have it yet, and many devices now do not have gingerbread .. we may or may not get an "official " release but its not like we don't have functional Gingerbread now and that's something not all devices can say even on XDA ..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Paging Dr B:
True but you forget just how long it's taken for these GB builds to lose most of their bugs. I love my Sensation because it's the same identical phone that's used all around the world so if one of them gets a new OS update it will work flawlessly. If this Hercules is not like the others then I'd bet anything that the dev community will be very thin (even thinner than the vibrant community). Phones these days are only as good as the chefs that cook for them. Just something to think about. Instead of having the same GS2 all around the world every carrier gets a slightly modified version making it a pain in the ass to flash roms between them all.

This is interesting!

Kies Air: Samsung’s Kies software has been used in the past to update Samsung phones since before Android, but it got abandoned slightly for the Over The Air promises made with Android. When a device doesn’t get an update in a timely manner, the blame machine gets pointed in every which direction with incredible delays sometimes.

By removing the carrier from the equation, Samsung has opted to use their own software solution to update their devices.

This could possibly be a move by Samsung towards the update alliance proposed by Google at this year’s IO, but what it will do for sure is remove one less person to blame.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheBrandonWRX:
1) You would rather have a device that has download capable throughput that is higher then you will get in almost every instance from a server you are requesting data from for a fraction of the time you use the device compared a significantly stronger CPU that you will be using every time you use the phone? Add to the throttling that TMobile does and that seems like a huge sacrifice.

2) Rom support aside, the point is the Vibrant was handicapped from the beginning and was never what it could have been. GB Roms are far from perfect in every instance. Yes they are functional, but no where close to what they could have been or would be with source code. There are devices far newer then ours that shipped with Froyo and received GB. The Vibrant was a Flagship device.

its not gonna have a snapdragon! it will be qualcom

Coming to its processing power,the Hercules is said to be powered by Qualcomm APQ8060 chip which is a dual-core chip clocked in at 1.5GHZ.Google’s upcoming Nexus 4G also called as Samsung Nexus Prime and iPhone 5 all will be using this same processor.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bdroc:
qualcomm makes snapdragon, so even if its not labeled as such, its essentially the same thing...certainly different from exynos and tegra

yep, the instant I saw that this is coming with a snapdragon instead of the exynos is the instant I decided to wait for the Droid Prime.

I prefer the Hummingbird, and I prefer the Exynos. It's not the I dislike the Snapdragon, but I certainly believe the Exynos is superior for my needs than either the Tegra 2 or the Snapdragon.

I fail to see why people are upset that it isn't exynos. What's exactly wrong with a qualcomm snapdragon? I remember seeing a leaked pic of the Canadian telus version of this phone and it had a 3359 or so quadrant score, so isn't that basically on par with the exynos? If anyone can provide a technical breakdown of why exactly the exynos is better I'd be interested in listening, because so far I can't find any reliable benchmarks of both processors head to head. All I ever see is people saying "exynos is better" without ever explaining why.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ronin4740:
Great... so not only are we not getting a Exynos CPU in our version of the phone but we're getting a modem which is dependant on the mating of the Qualcomm CPU to be able to do voice as well as data?

Won't this result in an even worse situation for the vibrant Dev's who have been unable to get the Vibrant's unique GPS chip working due to lack of source code for GB? Won't they have the same issue with the modem chip and be unable to implement voice calling in ROM's without source code for the base version of android for the phone?!?!?!?

Sorry to bring up an old thread here but I thought I'd clear some things up.

To be honest I'm pretty excited about this new core. It's nothing like any of the other dual cores. Not only does it support 42mbps, but it has a pretty cool other feature...

Here's a line I pulled from their product briefing.

"Unlike synchronous dual-core SMP designs where both cores must run at the same frequency and voltage when operational, the dual-core Scorpion (APQ8060) asynchronous power design provides independent clocking and voltage per core, allowing each to work independently." :D:D

Basically, that is saying that if you were using the phone and were doing something like watching a video, the two cores can run at different speeds based on what it needs to run the video. Compared with the other dual-core's, they just run at like 1ghz each. Which would be a little of an overkill if it didnt need that much power. In other words, it will actually save more battery life! :cool::D
