Yes you do. The bootstrap will only work with the P-Rom's like Laser, once you unlock bootloader you do need the custom CWM. Which is what I ended up having to install. Works good though. :]

What is the best way to flash mr5? Is there a guide? Thanks In advance
[Motorola Photon 4G] enoch42:
Im glad that all the devs put up indepth guides for all of us noobs to follow along with, especially the ones where they skip steps that we all should know by this point!
[Motorola Photon 4G] BoostL33k:

Follow those steps......Then when RSD asks to manually power up the phone do a battery pull and when powering back up HOLD THE VOLUME DOWN KEY till it boots into recovery. Then scroll down with the volume down key to "boot Android (no BP)" hit the volume up key. Let it do its thing. You should be up and working again.

These are the steps I used last night to solve the EXACT SAME problem you have....My device is now working again I just have to reactivate it when I take the loaner phone back later.
[Motorola Photon 4G] BoostL33k:
Most of it is cuz us noobs want to try stupid **** to see what we can get away with. That is why I did what I did yesterday, I was about 95% sure it would cause a problem but I chose to do it anyway.
[Motorola Photon 4G] BoostL33k:
So I have a new problem after restoring my device. Now I can't install any new apps from the market.every time I get the message "can't install ____ due to insufficient space on phone" of am at work now but I an gonna try to figure this out tonight.
[Motorola Photon 4G] radrian92:
Every time i plugin my phone It rellano me that battery is too low to flash. How do i charge It? It turns on every time to the fail to boot message
[Motorola Photon 4G] BoostL33k:
And I am all fixed!!

To the OP try plugging it in with the phone off for a while and see if that works for ya.

Took it to Sprint and they gave me a new phone :) thank you for the info.
[HD2 General] btyre:
I have a HD2 running Android, and recently I have had a problem with WiFI.

I have no problem connecting, an it works fine, however after using it for a bit (5mins when browsing generaly, as little as 5 seconds when downloading) it stop downloading and pages time out. However my signal still still responds when I move around the house. To get the WiFi working again all I need to do is turn it off then back on, however it is annoying doing this all the time.

I have tried everything, even flash back to stock via SD card and starting new. I have used several different roms (with different kernels) MAGLDR and CLK, everything I can think of to no avail. Can anybody help me out here.

Oh no you didn't!! Should consider yourself greatful you got one. I wish I did. :(

Root Explorer. It's in system/app delete and reboot. Or un install it using TiBackup pro.

good day.

You know that screencapture file is not use for taking screen shots.. I don't think it is, because you look at the permissions for the file its don't seem that it's used for that at all.

Hello

I have root Vituous Unity Installed Sense 3.0

when I open my phone from screen lock it plays a melody depending on the weather, how do i switch off the sound so that the phone is silent?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Silence.

Press just below the main clock on the home screen, where the weather is normally displayed, this should load and then take you to the weather application.

Then press the Options hard button and pick Settings and Un-tick the Sound Effects option.

Note:

To remove the full screen weather animation you'll need to remove and then replace the home screen clock widget and turn off this animation within settings.
[HTC Desire S] Safidk:
what he said. That weater widget, bugged the hell out of me to.

Any developers have any experience with hosting your app on GetJar? I am thinking about doing it but I wanted to get some counsel from you'all before I agreed to the terms (after my experience with amazon app store).

Taken from the terms...

I have done my best to try to find the Developer Addendum but haven't been able to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

John

P.S. Getting the warning about less that 50 posts and (meaning, if you're not posting about a ROM) blah, blah... To me this is development related, but I would be happy to move it if this is the wrong place.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alostpacket:
I personally don't like the sound of that but I'm wondering if it has become a standard clause in contracts because they "reproduce" and "display" your media just by putting it out for sale.

My advice would be to compare it against the Android Market Developer License Agreement, and others and see if they all have the same language.

Frankly I would be surprised if they can even legally enforce the "irrevocable" part.

Hope that helps

i can still recieve files via wifi direct from my friends s2 but am unable to send any

i am able to connect to my friends phone but the device is not listed under "devices on the same wifi network" while sending

on trying to send a file without connecting first,i get a perpetual waiting dialog

i am able to use other wifi related features such as browsing using wifi and can even recieve files via wifi direct without any problems

i have unrooted my phone and flashed a stock firmware (kf3) but am still facing the problem

i had sent files earlier using wifi direct when my phone was unrooted but noticed this problem recently after flashing criskelo's rom

any help would be appreciated

thank you

EDIT: Managed to fix the issue...

needed to set up the connection from my friends phone and then then send from mine...

after that connecting from my phone worked fine too...

seems to have been some permission issue
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dadsterflip:
Just wanna know how many people are happy with this phone and keeping it.

Vs

Returning it.

Besides the obvious bugs/screen etc.

I like it but I don't love it but not enough to return it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] idefiler6:
Love it. Keeping it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] r4ph:
Keeping it fersure... getting 10megabits down with 6/up. snappy and fast... rooted here.

came from a droid incredible with a dope rom from skyraider... I was running for 36 hours at a time with no kernel changes or undervolt... so my only complaint is the batt life sucks in comparison.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] djkms:
Welcome to 4G. Its not the phone its 4G that sucks your battery. I will say this; The bionic is by FAR the best on battery life compared to all 4G phones on the market right now.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Feoen:
I adore it. I came from a Moto Droid that had a display that died on me, so I was waiting for this.

Yeah, the screen's pixels are a little annoying at times, but other than that its speeds are INCREDIBLE, the new motoblur or whatever it is called now isn't obtrusive (the phone is actually fast enough to run it where it is actually attractive), and best of all it feels great in the hand.

Also, the extended battery's replacement back for the phone doesn't add that much width to it, making it a really good purchase. Shame none of the cases they had in stock support the extended battery.

One thing that I think people ignore when writing about new phones is the sound quality, and many people I have called are astounded when I tell them that I'm on a cell phone. I was on the highway going 60 mph with the windows and roof open, trucks all around me, and my dad thought I was on a landline when I called him. However they made the microphone, they got it down perfectly.

Now, I *NEEDED* a phone because of work, so it isn't an option to wait for the Droid Prime or the iPhone 5. Am I happy with the Bionic? Absolutely. Would I have waited for an even better phone if I could have? Perhaps.

I feel like when phones come out, they are outdated within a few days unless it's an iPhone. Eventually you have to bite the bullet, and I think that the Bionic is the best bullet I've ever bitten into! :P
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dadsterflip:
Yes the sound quality is superb. I don't sound like a robot coming from tb. My battery is awesome. From 630 to 12 only down 30% moderate use and that's alot. Glad that some peeps are happy.

Ill love it once I root this bad boy and get things going but man in so scared scratching this phone lol out of all th phones I've own this is the mother load of trying not to get it nik or so. It's so shiney and im ocd. About my phones lol. The case I got was from Verizon its that double layer case with ruber and hard screen and I like that.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Rockwell22:
Case that i bought was already fitted for extended battery so i asked the rep how do i get extended battery and he said that he had one in the back bought it and been on battery since then phone is great keeping
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Wapples:
I also love my Bionic, having upgraded from the Droid I. The only thing which I think it's missing is a widget to turn on/off the 4g. Other then the already mentioned 4g battery woes it's awesome.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] psufan5:
CM7 on the Tbolt has a toggle, but ya, I can see this as a pain on this phone. However, if you are using 4G - try juice defender. When the screen is off it will turn off data (and you can have your data turn on however often you wish to check for new data etc).

Highly recommend it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eakrish:
I had to charge my phone yesterday twice. I went about 1.6hrs on the original charge then fully charged it. With heavy use it needed a charge around bedtime(2130). Today I got it off the charger at 0530 and used it heavy for about 40 mins, then barely touched it and it's at 70%. I have juice defender and it set to CDMA only. I do not like the battery life so far but I has ATK on it. I took it off and will see how it goes. I think the task killer is more harm then good.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] POQbum:
Does anyone know the battery life with 4G turned off?

No 4G at all in my state yet, but our area should be getting it this year.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] POQbum:
Yeah and I would imagine there is a lot of bloat that can be removed with custom ROM's or tweaking CPU settings.

//oops.. double post.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eakrish:
I am so temped to say forget and go back to old faithful.... Ip4. I can go like two entire days on a single charge. I admit I have never used an android phone without the ATK. Maybe that's my problem.....
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tbgreen89:
I like it coming from two Htc phones. Im only having an issue with the vibrate sounding really annoying like its broken and the battery only dropping by the 10's. It dropped from 100 to 90 then to 80%. Nothing in between. Im on an extended battery and seems to be doing okay so far.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eakrish:
How bad is the thickness with the extended battery, VZW is selling them local for 25 bux
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eakrish:
And the battery by 10s is normal for the new motorola phones
[Motorola Droid Bionic] H3Dude:
Keeping. Best 4g phone on Verizon
[Motorola Droid Bionic] DroidTh3ory:
Toss me in on a keeper.

:)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cstrife999:
Myself as well. My only complaint is that with the extended battery it makes it feel like I'm holding a brick when compared to regular battery, but that's a small complaint considering how well the battery performs... It's just how thin the device is when compared to other LTE devices with regular battery...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] 7olycon7:
Rooted in seconds and im really happy with it now. Just make sure you update the bb binary once rooted. It makes a hell of a difference imo :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Feoen:
Not much extra thickness at all. Obviously it gives the phone a "weightier" feel if you prefer that, but I was pleasantly surprised that the extended battery was so thin.

IIRC I read that the extended battery's case does NOT support inductive charging, but I'm not 100% sure on that because I do not own an inductive charger for it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
OK, so I've only had this phone (and HD Dock) for about an hour, but to sum up my initial impression:

I feel like I just robbed a candy shop, even though my pockets are $300 lighter.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] killerplatinum:
Definitely happy so far. Looking like I'm keeping it. Still debating if I even want to root it right now because it seems fine the way it is.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] codehtmai:
Love it so far.

I was a little worried about the pentile screen, as the ones on the X and atrix (I think it was those) look like you're reading through a screen door. It turns out that this screen is fantastic though. Not quite as vibrant as the superamoldedwtfbbq ultra HD + or whatever, but way better (not just bigger) than the one I had on my Nexus One. I was also using it outside in the direct sun, and I could actually USE it without squinting.

I know there's some more powerful phones on the way, but I'm actually not sure I care. This phone doesn't lag at all and is by far the most responsive android phone I've used. I don't think you'd see any difference in performance/responsiveness with a more powerful processor at this point.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eakrish:
What is bb bianary?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rvpilot457:
Do tell :confused:
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tbgreen89:
Not bad actually I was surprised. Totally worth 25$ that's what I paid.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] DroidTh3ory:
Busy Box Binary. You can download BusyBox Installer from Market and update it. :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] sLpFhaWK:
I like the bionic coming from an iphone 4 and im rooted but battery is poor compared to ip4. So im still in the fence about keeping or returning it for a tbolt. Whats this bb rhing i should update i am also confused
[Motorola Droid Bionic] TweakMyDevice:
Well after returning the first Bionic-Lemon...

Picked up my first Bionic from Verizon yesterday at 9am. Immediately liked it better than I did the Droid X on it's launch day.

It took that Bionic 2 calls to tech support and over 5 hours to activate. Then it was lagging, force closing apps, and freezing to the point of being unusable.

At 745pm yesterday I got my 2nd Bionic and it is amazing. Extremely fast, excellent benchmark scores, and a pleasure to use.

-- PenTile screen: I notice some pixels when I look close enough but it's not annoying at all. Much more usable in sunlight than my Droid X.

-- 1080p recording: I'm blown away by how good this looks. Exceeds my expectations and I think this is a worthy replacement of a point and shoot pocket camera.

-- HDMI Mirroring: Works very well. Sounds awesome on my 5.1 surround system, looks very sharp on my 47" Vizio 3D Internet TV, and I haven't found anything yet that won't "mirror". HD Youtube videos look fantastic.

The Lapdock is nice but ridiculously priced at $300. My Asus EeePC running Windows7 Ultimate only cost $200. I think the Bionic should have shipped with the wireless charging back plate already installed instead of making you shell out $30 for it...

Overall I couldn't be happier with this Superphone! :D
[Motorola Droid Bionic] codehtmai:
If you think Bionic battery life is bad, you really wouldn't like the Thunderbolt. It's got a smaller battery and is less optimized than the Bionic is.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eallan:
I root because its insulting to have blockbuster installed on a phone in 2011.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] iyl78:
I am completely satisfied with it... definitely keeping it! There is a fairly high amount of bloatware on it, which is only real issue with the phone, but I know as I read more and more on it, I'll be able to remove/freeze/whatever the majority of it once I am comfortable in doing so. And until then, the ability to categorize apps and essentially hide the bloat-apps from myself is sufficient to stay happily ignorant of their existence. I actually like this version of MotoBlur for the most part, and intend on keeping several of the stock features.

A lot of people seem to be complaining about the screen, but I honestly can't tell what the issue is, I think it looks great, and I like it better than the one on my droid incredible. I've seen some side-by-side close-ups of the screen which shows of what some consider to be the "problem" with the PenTile display, but I frankly don't understand what's so bad about it. (Yes, I see the difference.) I guess this just comes down to preference.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eakrish:
.

I am in the same boat. I could go 2 days with the ip4. Its only day two with the bionic, it was off the charger @0600 and is still going at 2024. Its at 15% though. I will give it until monday
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Brenardo:
I think this thread would be a great if a poll was included.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jphillips.hd88:
I love this phone, keeper for sure..after I get another one....the earpiece had a static in it on phone calls...couple of freezes too, had to pull battery to get going again....hopefully, just got a lemon....the extended battery rocks, this is coming from a lg revolution though...that thing was horrible....

edit: oh yes! and it bluetooth tethers to my xoom!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] xEVILFREDx:
Agreed. I will make a thread. Giving options. I need to know since I have a Thunderbolt.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] wsbsteven:
Happy and keeping it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] hkusp40cal:
I like it so far. Coming from a Charge and the battery life isn't quite as good as the charge at least in my use case but it is so much faster than the charge it is amazing. The step son or wife will be getting the charge and I am keeping the bionic, at least until the prime hits.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Superguy:
I'm leaning towards mine going back. I'm going to give it a few more days. I find the screen really annoying though. The color saturation sucks (really noticed this with Angry Birds tonight) and the checkerboards just bother me too much.

It's a shame, as I really like the phone otherwise. Great sounds quality and reception, and for the first time, my parents didn't b!tch about awful BT in my car when I called them.

If I'm going to spend this much on a phone, I need to love it. I don't love this phone.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jgrimberg1979:
LOL!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Immolate:
I've yet to have any "cause for pause" with it and I've been tinkering all afternoon with it. My history is Og, X, Tbolt, D3, Bionic. The Bionic is faster overall than the D3, probably because of the RAM. Much lighter than the D3 as well. The screen seems SO much bigger (what a relief). They turned 4G on in my neck of the woods on Thursday (Yay!). I paired it with my Jawbone ERA today and it seemed to have better sound quality than the D3 although it's hard to say if that's real or just me hearing what I want to hear. I haven't had any reboots (D3 and Tbolt), any lock-ups, or really any single problem. I'm sure I'll find something eventually.

So far, very pleased and highly recommended.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] azshorty2003:
Love it so far. Extended battery life is great for me. But then I had a Droid that died in 6 hours with light use.

The screen is weird at first, but I'm getting used to it. Its fast as hell, network and phone itself. Still need to play with it more. Also need to remove bloatware. Rooted right away.

Considering

Im on AT&T , have IP4 and a Samsung Infuse, I switched from my IP4 to the Infuse and now back to my IP. The Infuse dropped calls like no tomorrow, I find myself looking for some of the widgets I grew to like on android. I am considering switching one of my lines over to verizon for this phone, is it worth it? Or should I wait for the SGSII coming to AT&T next week?

My AT&T guy says samsung has been having a lot of complaints on signal.

Would you recommend switching to Verizon for this device? Thanks
[Motorola Droid Bionic] arcade16:
What is this I dont even...ATT's 4g network is awful , its barely any improvement over 3g.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] robotsforeveryone:
Killer phone (SGSII), bad network (AT&T)

So-so phone (Bionic), great network (Verizon)

That is a tough one. Or you could always wait until the Prime drops on Verizon. Best of both worlds. :cool:
[Motorola Droid Bionic] iphonedefector:
Thank you! My AT&T rep of course says stay on for the SGSII , I am thinking I will wait. But I'm gonna run by verizon today to play with the phone, I might leave with it and take it back after SGSII lands!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Diversion:
Still on the fence here.. coming from a Tbolt noticing these things:

1)While my Tbolt is S-OFF, custom kernel, and ROM, I see better battery life on Tbolt while on 4G. If Bionic gets cracked, then hopefully the tables make a large turn here.

2) Bionic will lose 4G much more often than I ever see on my Tbolt. Needs new radio firmware i'm sure.

3) Bionic gets very hot after just watching some YouTube vids and surfing via the Browser. My Tbolt "occasionally" gets warm, but nothing as hot as the Bionic.

4) Horrible camera on the Bionic.. Every picture I've taken is blurry and washed out.. Tbolt takes 10x better photos.

That's it so far.. pretty disappointing after all this waiting Moto put on everybody.

I want to love this phone, but it's got some major faults. I would now have to go back to carrying a seperate pocket camera and a phone again.. That's nearly a deal breaker.

On the hardware front, the Bionic is the fastest Android phone i've ever seen.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Wadzii:
You can always wait a few months for something better... with any technology that's going to be the case. The bionic is the best thing out right now and I wanted something now.

That being said the phone is great. I can easily see the screen in direct sunlight with my sunglasses on. Something that was not possible with either my dx or my fascinate. That's really one of the biggest things for me since i drive a convertible.

If I look at the screen at the right angle and try I can see the pintle subpixles or whatever you want to call them, but under normal use I don't notice at all.

I'm very happy w the purchase, I sent my DVD and fascinate into the vzw buy back program and had a $50 credit on my account so the phone cost me $120. Can't beat that at all. I wouldn't come out of pocket $300 on this or any phone for that matter.
