A good dev phone should be cheap, so you could break it and not feel so guilty. For me a perfect dev phone would be :

4 inch 800x480 LCD Screen ( most common resolution on android )

1 GHz Snapdragon, with Adreno 205 GPU ( Also very common, and cheap )

1 GB of RAM

5 MP Camera, 1.3 MP front facing camera ( just enough so you can play with it )

NFC, A-GPS, pretty much every feature android supports...

All that with a 300 bucks price tag would be sweet.

What about the legal issues? Doesn't the power of xda lie in not being a manufacturer and therefore not being easy to Sue?
[General Topics] AndyYYC:
Depends how it's done... Look at the arduino project; it's now knocked off by everyone and their dog - result is cheaper prices and more development... Who do you sue really? if it's an open source community project; with a wide network of mfg'ers and distributors...

My chinese source, unfortunately can't handle this - suggested snapdragon would be a licensing/purchasing nightmare, but the tegra3 are available - and nvidia would be all over a project like this. tells me he did a breakout board for the msm8660 (snapdragon) last year, cost was about 60$/unit - a tegra unit in a similar setup; with standard plugs / antenna connections, etc etc etc - would run right around 100$ (assuming low-ish volumes).

Was thinking it might be smarter build it based around an existing legacy phone; as an 'upgrade' (think parts source).

[General Topics] GaryAustin:
I was searching for a good controller (near to topic on this discussion) - ran a complete circle back to XDA.

Goal is to work against something a little more robust than a commercial phone - while also being able to target various CPUs (etc.). Then, after specs' fall in-line (within reason), simply place an order and/or re-furbish existing hardware.

Thoughts?

Here is something more in line (update)

I'd rather have these specs:

4" LCD 854x480

1c/2c ARM w/ basic GPU

8GB internal, partitioned

5MP back, 1.3 front

Dual radios with pentaband GSM and LTE

WiFi a/b/g/n 2.4/5 GHz, with portable hotspot

Bluetooth 3.0 with all reasonable profiles

2A replaceable battery

All reasonable sensors supported by Android

Soft-touch plastic chassis with:

microSD card slot

2x SIM card slots (one for GSM one for w/e LTE uses, if possible)

2x microUSB ports, one for connecting to a computer, one for host

audio jacks for headphone and microphone (separate; headphone jack also handles mic)

Comments:

The processor doesn't really matter, just get whatever is cheap/reasonable and easy to develop for (if NVIDIA they better give us full source code).

It is imperative to have good chips for audio/radio/etc. so the device doesn't suck and it's easy to develop for.

The screen doesn't really matter. 4" is big enough on a phone, use capacitive on-screen buttons and permanently show the status bar (for dev info), ther extra 54 pixels allow for that.

The chassis has to be reasonably solid and must have those ports. I wan to connect mouse, keyboard and flash drive to it while it's connected to adb on the computer.

This is what a dev phone should be. Not a monster spec phone, a phone with the proper tools to hack into.

[General Topics] The Archangel:
The specs an design are pretty impressive, none the less. But getting it approved for wifi, Bluetooth, An Carrier usage would be so dam hard. Also you would need people to update it a new Android version comes out, also the licensing matters with google. I'm not trying to put the idea down or anything just putting into perspective of the reality of something like this happening. I could of went into more detail too.

If I helped, give thanks, if you please.

[General Topics] GaryAustin:
Conceptually -

I can take my netbook and plug a 3/4g dongle into it and I have (essentially) a phat phone running against the carrier of my choosing (via skype, etc.).

Take this netbook and shrink it down to the size of a phone. Make that 3/4g dongle into something like a card. And... we have our custom phone.

Though netbooks are not like desktops. One can plug in various compatible: CPUs, RAM, and HD.

Good news is that we have a market. Just requires some time and tooling.

[General Topics] biijive:
good idea, but the baterry life would be short.
[General Topics] Zorigo:
If its gonna be a BEAST it needs to top that, phones out there already do, therefore;

4.7" or 5" screen @ minimum 720p

2GB ram and 2gb ROM minimum

a 2.5GHz quad core minimum

the rest of those specs seem good but i'd add the ability to dual boot, or support Ubuntu for Android.

and i'd say samsung produced or nokia, they're very reliable and provide stylish phones

Open Phone Hardware the solution?

Doing it yourself is very expensive. Look at the Openmoko project. They have full open hardware specs but even so if you look at its next version that is ready to be created the gta04 the price will go sky high (666.66 Euro) , and you even need the cover of the old freerunner phone (so an additional cost).

These are the specs of the new (not even produced gta4):

ARM Cortex A8 processor with 800 MHz and 512 MB RAM

UMTS 3.75G (14 MBit/s max.)

Integrated sensors (Barometer, Gyroscope, Accelerometer, Compass)

optional: Camera

USB OTG 2.0

needs an existing Neo Freerunner gta1 or gta2 case

Compared to the thread specs not really sexy... So people will not go for the option. Imagine the specs of this thread are used: No one will buy it.

When I restore the user apps after a full wipe, the market shows that around half the apps needs to be updated. They aren't updated at all, they are on the same version, just being re-downloaded. If I don't do this, the updates keep popping up even though the version numbers are identical.

after you restored the apps from TI did you go to settings > manage applications> market and "clear data"? this will force the market to re scan data/app and build the list correctly.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stewartsoda:
Has anyone done a warranty exchange with an unlocked bootloader? For example:

Your headphone jack develops issues and you're pretty sure it's a hardware problem with the connector as noted in this thread. You have an unlocked bootloader so the text "UNLOCKED" is shown every time you boot, but otherwise stock 4.5.91. You are beyond your 30 day exchange period.

You send the phone in for a warranty exchange, and since it's a hardware issue Motorola does one of the following:

1. Says, "Everything is cool, we know you unlocked the bootloader but can see this is an obvious hardware issue and will give you an exchange."

2. Says, "You unlocked the bootloader and voided your warranty. You owe us $500."

3. Replaces the phone without noticing.

Would flashing the stock 4.5.91 SBF to remove the "UNLOCKED" notice change anything?

This is all purely hypothetical, of course.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
I have no idea what checks Motorola goes through when they receive a device under warranty but, for me personally, I just accept that I forfeited my warranty when I unlocked my BL. I know it doesn't seem fair for the consumer to have this mentality but until they decide to offer us the unlocks officially we have to play by their rules.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthew5025:
In Singapore, sent in an Atrix with a hardware problem, (Atrix will not start up)

They fixed it and returned it back to me with the bootloader still unlocked.

(They returned it to stock, but OEM fuse shows it is unlocked)

Really though, pray or go on your lucky day!

Flashing to a FroYo SBF can either remove the text or brick your phone.

If you updated to Gingerbread officially (OTA) than it would brick your phone
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebeardedchild:
Well I actually just got off the phone with AT&T and I'm getting a replacement phone because the vibrate motor (don't want to call it a vibrator ;) ) in this one is broken or something. She said they only charge the big fee if there's water damage or severe cracks, etc. I mentioned that I had modified the phone in various Android-ish ways and she said it doesn't matter because they flash it to stock before they do anything with it...But AFAIK there's no way to relock the bootloader for us Atrix owners. Hopefully they can do something we don't know about, or I'm screwed. I imagine they have plenty of ways to get it back to stock. No where on AT&T's terms for warranty exchanges does it say anything about getting the fee for something other than water damage/extreme physical damage/etc.

EDIT: I got online with another ATT rep, because I was freaking out. I told him about the unlocked bootloader and he said "Yes, that will be a problem". When I read that, pants had been pooped. I was glad that I found out so I could perhaps cancel the exchange, but mad that I was basically stuck with this broken phone now...Then he said he talked to a supervisor, and he told him that google recently required manufacturer's to take any phone regardless of any modifications that had been made to it in spirit of open source. So I confirmed numerous times that the unlock won't be a problem. And as long as there's no water damage (circle on back is still white) or extreme physical damage, you should get the replacement without any fee.

At the very least, if anything were to arise, I feel I have reason to argue now that I've confirmed this in so many ways... Hope this helps you all!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranova:
guys, just use the SBF to flash to stock. it *should* remove the "unlocked" text on boot. I HIGHLY doubt they will go into that much trouble to try to see if your bootloader is unlocked or not.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stewartsoda:
I also highly doubt that they would check but I'm not willing to risk $500 on that doubt.

I might have hypothetically fixed the headphone jack on my own anyway. But I still think that inquiring minds would want to know the answer to this: Can a software modification release Motorola from honoring warranty claims based on hardware issues?

And it said "unlocked" at the top left during boot and everything? Just trying to clarify whether you tried to hide it or not or left it as obvious as it normally would...

If you did hide it, what did you do? I've been confused as to whether you SBF flash or what. I'm scared of bricking this phone before I send it back haha.

@hjd17, I haven't sent it in yet, the replacement hasn't arrived. The poster I quoted has had success though, so that should answer your question!

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abenitez64:
So I have a Samsung Focus running Mango 7712. I had no issues updating to that, no 'walshed' phone or whatever it's called. I have been trying and looking for solutions for 3 days now on how to update to Mango 7720 but I'm stuck now and nothing seems to work, so I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this.

I have:

1. All the proper drivers installed I'm pretty sure

2. Zune 4.08.2134

3. The 7720.rar and everything extracted directly and properly to the C: drive. I even uninstalled the update tool I had and installed the one that was located in the 7720.rar folder.

So here's my issue:

When I go to run the .bat file as an administrator, everything starts fine, transfers the updates, perfect...except when it gets to "restarting phone". That's when the problem occurs. I feel like it hangs on the 'Goodbye' screen too long, and THEN the command prompt just quits...a few seconds later the phone finally restarts and is stuck on the screen that says to plug it into the computer. So I have to pull battery and restart...obviously with 7712 still on there :(

I have tried to clear up more space on the phone ( I have 8.0GB free), I have tried unplugging and plugging the USB back in, just trying to restart the .bat file while it's stuck on that screen (to no avail), and I have tried 'pausing' the process in the command prompt until the phone gets back up to the connect to PC screen- but then when I resume the command...it just auto closes.

PLEASE someone help...I'm tired and can't find any solutions :(

Thanks to any replies in advance.....
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GAlonzo:
I had the same issue. Instead of right-click, Run As Admin, try running the .bat by double-clicking. It still took quite a while for my Focus to reboot, but it finally restarted before the tool timed out.

Also, make absolutely sure all folders are in the C:\ drive. When I first extracted 7720.rar to the C:\ drive, it actually put everything into C:\MANGO. So I had to move it all to C:\ before anything would work.

Hope that helps.

maybe this can help

ISVTo7720.bat Hangs on restarting phase/Error 801812c1 after run

This was the most common Error listed and had many solutions which seemed to work sporadically.

1. Do what @DavePerman said, and use the pause command so freeze the cmd command until phone reaches flashing phase.

2. Execute ISVTo7720.bat in a standalone CMD instead of through Windows Explorer. Do this by Run(open as Admin)>cmd>cd Mango>cd RCToRTM>ISVTo7720.bat

3. Remove all music from the device to free up 6+ gigs of memory.

4. Have at least 12 gigs of hard drive space on your computer. Some clam they needed 20

5. press the off button on the phone to force the phone into its flashing screen. (some say they pressed the button, some say they held it down until the screen turned off)

5. The most extreme, and last resort for this problem is to reset your phone through its settings menu. You will lose all information on the phone. (remember your contacts and apps are all in the cloud, so they can be recovered. Music/pictures/videos can be re-synced if backed up before hand.)
