[Motorola Droid X2] Cheapxj:
the Droid X2's 540x960 resolution, lack of front facing camera and being a solid 3g phone is what sold me on it. bottom line it's a motorola communication device, and they do what they need to do and take a beating. F HTC and their easily hackable bootloaders. the easiest to hack devices are gonna be the first to get taken out by malware and viruses once they start becoming more prevalent (and they will)

my droid X2 is fast as hell, gets great battery life (compared to what I read from others) and I can modify as much as I need to as it can still be rooted and I'm running the ported Atrix 2.3.4 rom w/ some bloat removed. I don't have any of the problems others complain about with this phone (media playback, sound/video issues)

I've literally tried every hack, script, and rom out there along with a few little tweaks of my own and this is the first android device I've EVER had that I've felt was adequate. I've had more than my fair share of HTC junk, and that's exactly how I feel about that taiwanese crap. so far this X2 has been through hell, I gave up on cases and protectors (cause they don't fit quite right and make the docks impossible to use) and it's got some battle scars from work and play (it even got run over by a K5 blazer while I was 4-wheelin in the colorado rockies) and it just won't die... every HTC I ever had I swear started just failing after being dropped once or twice with the exception of my old 8125, it took full immersion in a pan full of hot engine coolant to finally kill it, and it worked for a good 2 weeks after that happened until the keyboard and touchscreen became basically unresponsive. it's only a matter of time until this device is unlockable (seriously, give me ONE example of SOMETHING out there that runs software and could not be hacked/cracked/exploited in some way)

i'll put it in this perspective, launcher icons in a 5 wide 7 high grid. I can fit EVERYTHING I need on ONE homescreen with no overlap, an 800x480 screen will not do that.

my only complaint about the phone is the camera SUCKS in low light, but it's just a crappy CMOS phone camera with a plastic lens, what do you expect? I've NEVER used a camera phone for any really important pictures anyway. I want my phone to first and foremost be a COMMUNICATION DEVICE and when it comes to solid radio technology, you can NEVER go wrong with anything motorola (so long as it doesn't flip or slide)

but then again, I was born with a keyboard in my hand and an insatiable thirst for knowledge of all things electrical/electonic, mechanical and everything in between.

I'd double check getting that evo onto page plus. I couldn't get my thunderbolt on there because of the 4g radio.

With regard to the Droid x2, I've got a real love hate relationship with this thing. It's really picky and takes a ron of fine tuning to get it working fluidly, in my experience. But, in my experience it gives the best photos of any phone I've used. They don't look very good on the screen (pentile is horrible with color banding), but they reproduce really well on other media.

My dinc2, which you should also consider, functions much more reliably without all these freaking scripts with dozens of parameters to tweak. But, the video frame rates can't match those of the dx2, and photos are not as good.

Always boils down to what you need. I'm about ready to throw my dx2 under the next bus that passes by if it stutters on me again.
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
Durable? I dropped it once from hip distance and now the screen had a hairline crack in the bottom corner. :P not sure about being ran over..
[Motorola Droid X2] ralphwiggum1:
Evo is a Sprint phone. Page plus uses Verizon phones. X2 with tegra doesn't seem to have any advantages besides good video codec support. Nothing amazing optimized for tegra and the single core phones have so much more customization going for them. And all Motorola qhd screens suck. Colors including video look washed out.

Htc's qhd like on sensation use normal rgb lcds vs. The new moto (DROID 3, x2, bionic, photon, ATRIX) using pentile rgbw.

I wouldn't recommend this phone for a few reasons, one of which is tegra has little going for it especially on this phone. Everything is optimized for snapdragon, even if this phone should technically be more powerful.

If u do a lit of music listening from device don't go with x2. Otherwise great phone. Stupid st..ut.ter..s...I..a.mm.g...g ..ettett ...img...tired of music skips ;(
[Motorola Droid X2] Epicardium:
Curious. Are you still getting the skips on custom ROMs, and with all that script jazz?
[Motorola Droid X2] ilovesoad:
I think almost everyone is regardless of the ROM and scripts they are running.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Custom rom? If u know if one please point me to it. True custom rom are nill without unlocked bootloader.

And I have been able to reduce skipping to bare minimum at some points but it never goes away. And it can take a TON of tweaks to get less skipping.

Don't get me wrong I LOVE my x2. I just wish music didn't skip on it.
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
I came to the x2 from the fascinate & overall I'm glad I did because it functions much better as a phone. Making & receiving all your calls isn't an issue, but it does have issues. General lag & music skips are challenging but can be minimized or overcome by some tweaking. As of right now, I'm lag & skip free running the eclipse .6 rom & supercharger9 script with the music app bulletproofed.
[Motorola Droid X2] brepublican:
I think that they take any cdma phone that works on the 900/1800 spectrum, at least from my understanding. It wont hurt to double check, for sure

---------- Post added at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 PM ----------

I'm grateful for these kinds of strong opinions. I'd expected more of this, being that we're in an X2 forum afterall. But I also appreciate that X2 owners are honest about the short comings of the phone... I'm very grateful for all the advice everyone's given :)

I'd also considered the Fascinate (as well as the Droid Inc 2), and I went to a store today and looked at several phones too. It's gonna be a tougher decision than I 'd previously thought :/
[Motorola Droid X2] ilovesoad:
The Inc 2 would be another great choice. It's unlocked and has a variety of custom ROMs.
[Motorola Droid X2] ericerk:
Droid X or Evo, X² Only if the bl gets unlocked
[Hero CDMA General] Vonrottes:
just to make sure I'm doing this right, I' currently dowloading 2.32.661.7 to downgrade from 2.32.651.2 so I can use Regawmod root. then flashing wildheroc RC2.2

that should be it....right? not like rooting my MT3G1.2 where you gotta do all the flashing in Hboot/fastboot via ADB to flash a new radio, SPL and recover?<<<I know that method, did it on a Fender & plain 1.2
[Hero CDMA General] rubyknight:
There is a radio update for the hero available that might help boost your signal but its not required. Im not sure what recovery is installed by regaw though. After your done rooting ,download the ROM Manager app to easily install the 2.X clockwork recovery suggested for the WildHeroc Rom. Other than that you should be good. Our devs made it easy for us.
[Hero CDMA General] Vonrottes:
2.32.651.2 worked with the rooter. And it used cwm3 or something.
[Hero CDMA General] dastin1015:
You could have just updated all the way then use z4root.

my phone wont turn on this morning. when I plug in the charger the red led light turns on for a few seconds then goes off. is the battery just dead or is my phone bricked somehow?
[HTC EVO 3D] louforgiveno:
pull battery then put it back in then connect to the stock charger and let it sit for 10-15min then start it up

in the future try not to let it get below 5%, i've heard the 3d has issues initiating a charge on fully drained batteries
[HTC EVO 3D] thisisboo:
Did not work, on the stock charger it just flashes the led light and doesnt charge, I'm still on my 30 day so ill bring it back and say it has a defective battery/charge system, no need to tell them I'm rooted :)
[HTC EVO 3D] justj:
try plug in your pc and do a

adb reboot-bootloader
[HTC EVO 3D] Tiffany84:
If the battery is completely dead the red led will blink for a little bit until it gets a little juice built up and then it will turn solid red. Definitely don't think your bricked. I've had this happen several times on the 3D and the 4G.
[HTC EVO 3D] bigo72:
Hello guys, I'm experimenting the same issue! It was working like a charm, then I left without simcard in airplane mode, but with wifi on.

When out from wifi coverage, it turned off (maybe because of the battery drain) and can't bring it back to life!

This is just incredible, I can't believe there is no way to wake up it.

I'm trying to charge with its charger, with PC connection and nothing happens: red light for a little while and everything off again after a couple of seconds ... I'm getting nervous :-(
[HTC EVO 3D] dpgc213:
Take the battery out, plug it in wait till the red light goes off, 5 seconds. Now press the camera button... Phone will turn on
[HTC EVO 3D] cinnamngrl:
if you are within the 30 day, i would get back to to the store.

I was wondering if anyone could make a Downanimation for Beats animation? preferably a reverse version of the boot animation?

Is this possible ?

Could someone with the necessary skills very kindly convert for QHD please ?

It would be much appreciated :D
[HTC Sensation] sgtmedeiros:
I like the espresso sense found on the new mytouches, but I love everything else about the sensation. are there any themes, etc that I could use ? Like a doubleshot port?
[HTC Sensation] Famicomboy:
I have a friend that got the MT4G, and all I noticed was colors and graphics were different. I assumed that because they were both using Sense 3.0 and Gingerbread that they were pretty much the same. Is there something specific you like more about it?
[HTC Sensation] Behold_this:
The mytouch 4g does not run sense 3.0, it is 2.1. The mytouch 4g slide, on the other hand, does, but the espresso version it runs has no lock screen short cuts and the Rosie dock has three customizable slots for apps of your choice much like the HTC Flyer's sense does. They are essentially custom ui's on top of sense which is a custom Android ui.
[HTC Sensation] sgtmedeiros:
Exactly, I like the espresso sense 3.0 .

Hi, I just for the 16gb sandisk card that was on sale at newegg and my G2 is having problems dectecting it.

I know android has problems with class10 cards so I bought the class 4 one.

when i plug in the card and start up the phone sometimes it say the SD card is blank.

also while im using the phone the sd card will say it unmounted or the android files in the card will turn into weird icons.

does anyone have this problem too?

I formatted it to Fat 32 many times.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sgaznabi:
i bought the same card on newegg. Although i haven't had the chance to use it yet, i was just gonna format it and copy the whole of my previous SD to it. Does your card work on any other device? if not might need to RMA
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ray_jai:
No i haven't had time to try it on my other phones yet.

I had to Clone the old card to the new card and so far no problems.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sgaznabi:
so problem solved?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ray_jai:
I think so.

I couldn't just drag the files over.

Hmm, I ordered a Transcend 16gb class 10. Hope it'll work.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Ray_jai:
The Transcend class 10 8gb worked for me.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
They may or may not work okay. But Class 10 cards seem to cause more problems than lower class cards, based on user posts here. Plus, the extra expense doesn't seem justified, as you will not see much if any performance gain.
[G2 and Desire Z General] oVeRdOsE.:
Since I'm in school, I got a lot of problems with sandisk product. (stop working without a sing, corrupt, takes days to boot).

For my usb flash drives I use patriot now. Never got problems, especially with the little 8gb usb key. Excellent reviews on newegg.

I bought class 10 16 gb micro usb patriot. Run some bench marks, average 11 mb/s writing. Since 5 months, lot of testing roms and watching videos, no problem yet.

Be careful with bad reviews because some people runs day long benchmarks. It kills flash memory.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Does Sandisk work better if you're not in school :-P

Odd. Was it a genuine Sandisk product, purchased from a reliable source (like Newegg). Because there are a heck of a lot of Sandisk counterfeits on places like eBay. Sandisk and Kingston are probably the most counterfeited brands of flash memory. On the other hand, its just possible you had a defective unit. Its impossible for even the most reliable electronics manufacturer to be 100% free of defective units.

I've used 3 different Sandisk Micro-SD cards in my smartphones and tablet, one of them is almost 4 years old. Only had a problem once, and a format fixed it right up. Also used Sandisk SD and CF cards in my cameras for years, without issue.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Stoerner:
Today my Transcend 16gb class 10 arrived and I installed in my DZ.

Not any problems until now ...

My 16gb Sandisk just crapped out on me while i was downloading apps. I just suddenly said the card unmounted? I had to reboot to get the hard back. anyone else having problems?
[G2 and Desire Z General] tronmech:
Happens to me about every other week. My Sandisk 16gb class 4 card is from my local Radio Shack, so I doubt it's fake. Perhaps some G2's don't like class 4 cards? When it happens to me, I see that message when I get up in the morning.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ray_jai:
Oh good, so it's not just me. But damn that sucks. it does get annoying.

I'm using the pre-root Stock 2.3.4 rom. you?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da_undead:
Hello all,

I have a galaxy tab 10.1 GT-P7500 with 3G & WIFI.

I recently flashed a wifi only ROM unknowingly and lost the 3G capability.

I want that though !! Please let me know if I flash Broodcomb, will I regain 3G ability ? Or else should I switch back to stock and wait for someone to release a new working 3G + WIFI rom.

Help appreciated !!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceminino:
i think right now broodcomb is the only custom rom with 3g, i'm waiting for more choice before flashing it...

Didn't you do a nandroid before flashing a new firmware??
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da_undead:
Well I know I should have made a nandroid backup but did not :!

Now can't even revert back .. is there anywhere that I can get a flashable stock firmware for the P7500 for WIFI+3G ?

---------- Post added at 10:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 AM ----------

Also is broodcomb an only 3G firmware - or does it have wifi support as well ? Coz I need both otherwise no point in flashing... the broodcomb post is not clear enough !!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qsec:
Broodcomb supports booth 3g and wifi. There is no rom with only 3g that i know about.

You will get your 3g back if you flash a rom that supports it.

Stock firmwares you can find at samfirmware.com or at sampro.pl or in the development section.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ronnienyc:
Did anyone here come from the Photon?

I am hesitant to switch because I am wondering if the speaker is as good, and if the call quality is as good. Also it seems like the epic touch is a lot bigger than the Photon.

Any thoughts from previous MoPhos?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alnova1:
So far the call quality has been good. The speaker might not be quite as loud but its good. It is bigger but much lighter than the Photon. The Photon had a good camera but this camera is amazing. I'm glad I switched. Its so fast...no lag.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hayabusa1300cc:
I did. The speaker on this epic is not a high quality if the Photon your sure. Now it isn't terrible but its a notable difference.

Call quality is more closer. I can hear great. But won't beat the Photon with the three mics active noise canceling. Reception is the same, but stronger 3g data on this epic for me.

Go ahead and switch. All the pluses of having this phone you won't look back.

.: sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch :.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ronnienyc:
Is the speaker blocked or muffled if the phone is sitting on a table?

Also do you notice a warm tint like the nexus had?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fattires:
Had the Photon for 30 days, and got the Epic 4G Touch yesterday. Call quality is very nearly as good. Signal strength is equal. Overall the Epic is a way better device IMO, the screen is about way way better than the Photon and the Camera is also substantially better. I have absolutely no regrets about switching from the Photon to the Epic Touch
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] whatsitsnamenow:
The tint is adjustable of warm, cool, or normal.

The speaker is not as good as the Photon. My Photon's speaker never felt strain but sometimes the Epic Touch does.

My Photon's radio reception is much better than the Epic Touch. I was at my sister's home and making perfect calls with my Photon but the Epic Touch was roaming.

If I don't watch so much videos on my phone I would have kept my Photon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stupendusd:
After having a MoPho for about a month and a half, I love the MoPho. That said, I really, really like the Sammy too. The screen is SO much better than the MoPho and it is hands down much faster. The bootup on the Sammy is literally less than half the time of the MoPho and all comparisons whether by quandrant, linpack, surfing, playing games etc... the Sammy is noticeably faster.

The things I miss most are the kickstand, the speaker and the shape. The Sammy is thin and big. A bit bulky and hard to get used to coming from the MoPho. The Sammy is solid though, like the MoPho. I think getting a case of some sort will definitely be needed to prevent from dropping and maybe even one with a kickstand.

The speaker quality is good. Like above, I have heard the speaker strain here and there where I never heard it on the MoPho. Overall quality is good though. Even sounds good laying on table, or in hand.

Overall I think it is a good choice for now. I started with a 3vo3d, then moved to MoPho, had that for a while and am now trying out the Sammy. All have had they're pros and cons with my favorite thus far being the MoPho, only becuase thats what I had the longest. That said, the MoPho has a couple little bugs. Apps causing random reboots and two of my faves I know of wouldn't even work. The silent call issue was a problem but that got fixed.

In conclusion I am extremely happy with the Sammy for now. The screen is fantastic, the phone is a speed demon, audio is good, wifi is good, 4g seems to be pretty good, havent really had any issues with it yet but, I've only had it for a day. I do miss the MoPho, but it seems to be easing up as this thing just amazes me more and more. Will see how it goes. My last experience with Sammy was with the Moment and I'm sure there are a few of you out there that know exactly what I mean by that.

Hope this helps any on the fence.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ronnienyc:
Lots of useful information here, thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coldblooded79:
Just swapped a couple of minutes ago from the Photon...My first impression is that the screen is gorgeous compared to the Photon. I do miss the qhd resolution however. The Photon was fast but the Eptouch is faster. Typing is easier. Touchgiz 4.0 like the new Motorola User Interface ha ha is less obtrusive than previous versions . Haven't benchmarked yet but you can look at everyone else's videos for that. Another thing that brought me over was the camera and video recording ..The Photons cam was ok, but Sammys cameras are the best imo other than Nokias . Let's face it, when was the last time you saw a cdma Nokias?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ronnienyc:
I just handled an Epic Touch for about 20 minutes - my first reaction is that it might be too big for me, and the photon felt more responsive when I was doing the same tasks side by side. Also on 4 g the photon consistently load pages faster. I'll have to try another Epic Touch when I have time and test it again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] matase:
I just exchanged my evo 3d for s2. absolutely love it. The screen is just amazing and I am getting better out of the box results than my rooted&rom'ed evo 3d. The loud speaker is louder than evo 3d. and the battery last longer.

Yeah the 3d does not compare to either of these phones in my opinion. ( Had one and sold it)
