I really like the stock keyboard but I find myself needing arrow keys. The HTC EVO keyboard would prob fit the bill. Any way I can mod the stock keyboard or download the EVO one?
[HTC Sensation] wschom:
You can get swiftkey X from Getjar for free right now and it gives you the option to enable the arrows.

Thanks for the quick reply. Would you happen to know of a way to do it with the stock keyboard?

I got the Bionic a couple weeks ago and it's been pretty awesome so far. But I saw the Razr pop up (http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19736_...l-core-processor-lte-support/?tag=epicStories) and kind of got bad a feeling that I shouldn't have been so hasty getting the Bionic.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cryptiq:
I lost sleep over this too. Ultimately I resolved that I'd keep my Bionic. I can only imagine what the phones on the horizon with a 720p res display are going to do to the battery. Also, until we see more phones with the Ice Cream Sandwich O/S, I'm staying put.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Yeah, that RAZR is straight doinggggggggggggg
[Motorola Droid Bionic] superbalde:
Honestly, this is how it's going to be for any piece of electronics you buy. "This is good but the next thing is better." If you keep waiting for the best thing ever you probably will never get anything. I say stick it out w the Bionic and when your upgrade comes up I'm sure the RAZR will look like Zach Morris' phone from Saved by the Bell (OK maybe not that bad).
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bigv5150:
I hear you

I get it no one wants to get a phone a 2 months later its replaced by a better one.however I love the bionic I have had one or two glitches unlike others I just got lucky. Its super fast I think the screen looks great and I watch Netflix. The pentile screen also uses a small amount o of battery compared to the other screens
[Motorola Droid Bionic] juanzr1:
id return my bionic if you guys updated from the charge or thunderbolt and wait for this droid razr, its going to be sick
[Motorola Droid Bionic] AtLemacks:
They won't post a release date until last minute. I think the Bionic was a placeholder at this point, they just wanted the name to make them money. This device will probably be leaps(maybe not bounds) better.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] killerplatinum:
I don't think it will be a huge improvement.. Honestly as of right now I see no need to upgrade my phone I have yet to find anything that would slow down my phone. Never really experienced lag and flash runs smooth... After I installed DroidTh3ory's ROM my phone has had 100x better battery life as well...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] our3rotts:
It's announced today - coming early Nov to VZW

From PC World's review
[Motorola Droid Bionic] art0605:
Yup, I've been tracking it all morning. So as of now, I'm on the fence about selling my Bionic for that bad boy. What to do, what to do?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zetsumeikuro:
Sure the material looks better in theory, same RAM 200 mhz more? Wonder how much extra performance you will see. Super Amoled with pentile subpixel display right? Not sure about this one team, I also feel kinda torn.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] voxigenboy:
I currently have a partially working Thunderbolt and was going to switch out for a Bionic on Friday, until I saw the RAZR announcement this morning. I went over the specs and hardware/software wise there are no major differences whatsoever... The appeal of the RAZR seems to be it's design. It's "pretty" and built to take a beating. Looks like you could beat someone to death with it and it will still function 100%.

I am now debating if I should still get the Bionic or hold on to this Thunderbolt a bit longer and get the RAZR. What bothers me is they say they are taking pre-orders on the 27th but no one(not even Verizon) will say when the phone will actually be released.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zetsumeikuro:
In b4 we see an article "Nerd beat to death by RAZR smartphone... PZNERD"
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
2-3 months after the RAZR comes out, HTC or Samsung will release something you wish you would have waited for. I waited 10 months for the BIONIC, I'm going to enjoy this badboy for as long as I can. I've learned not to look forward to any more phones in the future. Unless you are willing to buy a new phone every 2-3 months, you will never have the best for long.

Maybe Verizon should consider leasing these phones as the technology is growing faster than most people's wallets can afford.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mufc1991:
How much you all want to bet the GSIII will be out by February? That'll be the phone of all phones.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] necroscopev:
While the Razr does look good it doesn't look like it will be leaps and abounds above the bionic, plus it has a locked bootloader also, so you would be in the same no custom kernal boat. With DroidTh3ory's Blurr3d and D3Blurr3ed ROMs i don't see the need to jump ship yet. Now maybe when the Nexus or another powerful phone with an unlocked bootloader comes out then i would consider it, but after investing the money in the Bionic i couldn't imagine paying full retail price, probably between $500-$600, for another phone so quickly.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
There will ALWAYS be something better in the future! Get what you want and enjoy it. Don't beat yourself up for buying what you have because a new one is coming out soon. And those of you without a bionic, don't b*tch at people who have it by saying they should have waited.

The Bionic is a great piece of work.

Of course there will be better phones soon, but Android can always put out an update that makes the current devices even better.

~INB4 i smack somebody~
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Versatile1:
I think the Bionic will be a better phone because they will probably try and make the razor too sleek and have to sacrifice things such as battery life and hardware just my 2 cents
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zetsumeikuro:
Non-removable battery yuck. Wonder if the prime will be the same?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
I like having an external battery so I can pop it out when needed...

And...internal battery means no Extended Battery...you're stuck with what ya got.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] voxigenboy:
oh sweet mother of god why!!!!!!!!!!....

NON REMOVABLE BATTERY! ?!?!???!!!!!.....

damn it all to hell. I am a heavy user and on my Thunderbolt I have the Mugen 4500mAh battery + a 5000mAh external power pack and I still blow through that in 1 day.

I guess I am going to just stick with the Bionic after all.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Versatile1:
Going to make boot loops hard to recover from unless it has a reset button.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tivo7:
If it has a built in battery, usually holding the power button is an emergency shut off (like a computer).
[Motorola Droid Bionic] voxigenboy:
sometimes that doesn't work though if it's a bad freeze... then you'd have to sit there and wait for the phone to die.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
In three years of owning my iPhone 3G, I went through SIX batteries. They were pretty easy to replace, and widely available. But with the thinness of the RAZR and the way everything is probably sandwiched in there, I'm not sure I'd want to try replacing a battery myself.

I'll stick with my Bionic over that phone (especially since it has a locked bootloader, too). Sure is purdy, though.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] voxigenboy:
well... I finally decided to order the Bionic just now. Since the RAZR doesn't have a removable battery it won't work for me at all. I guess I'll be getting rid of this Thunderbolt now. Goodbye you battery sucking phone!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] AdamNJ77:
AMEN...I was feeling envious until I read about the battery too. I have the extended battery AND a USB Juicepack. And it's so thin, I worry about overheating when using LTE. But, the non removable battery alone was enough to take my envy away. Don't get me wrong, it's a great looking phone, but spec wise, it's almost the same (when someone overclocks the Bionic it will be the same CPU wise). So it all comes down to looks vs. power (battery)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zetsumeikuro:
With the kernel source code released, I think it's only a matter of time before OC is possible. :D:eek:
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Droidmoder:
Razr looks cool. When I saw the internal battery I kinda frowned. Besides next month after it comes out the nexus prime omgea will be released. The apple I phone 5 will be out and the mt5g will be pwn faces with a 15 mp camera on a phone lol.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] alodar1:
Returned my bionic today, but only because my amazon 1 cent device arrives tomorrow.

With the Razr I see a pretty phone. If it was available now, I might buy it. But its not, and the Bionic is pretty dam good in its own right. Besides the embedded battery is not attractive...unless you're a Motosplash lover.

What I am most interested in is Motor cast. What are chance we see that and a few of the software changes.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] art0605:
Hmm I think I'm just going to travel to the future to get a new phone. But I am afraid if I stay for too long, I'll be getting a new one every other day, at this rate.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kevmex1989:
are all phones going to be like the razr from now on with non removable batteries? Or is this just maybe a test for customers to see how people will react to a phone like this ?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] voxigenboy:
i heard that they want to go in the direction of integrating batteries to the phones but i highly doubt all phones will ever go that route. this new RAZR seems like it's been made to compete with the iphone(which of course always had an integrated battery - integrated to the point at least where it's not just a simple 'slip off the back, remove battery', anyway...).
[Motorola Droid Bionic] art0605:
I think it's official, because the thing I am selling on eBay is doing so well, $700+, I think I am going to use that money to get the Razr straight up. Play with it for a while then see which one I like better.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zetsumeikuro:
I'd rather have the $700 + much more useful in my opinion. You won't see any if little performance difference between the phones. You'll have some thin piece of metal/kevlar that possibly will heat up and burn your hands derp. To each their own though. Hardware really isn't the issue in droid phones, it's the software! Hopefully ICS will fully enable complete HW acceleration on our phones, and people will stop crying about performance issues and enjoy what phone they have. Even if something with marginally better specs gets announced 1-2 months down the road.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Droidmoder:
No joke what he said. Save your 700 razr isn't worth a buyout like that imo. All the new phones are very close performance wise. Mainly the software is the difference. If something doesn't have something normally a custom rom or port solves that
[Motorola Droid Bionic] wanderfowl:
Amen. Besides, if you're gonna spend that kind of money, do the Galaxy Nexus. Unlocked bootloader, ICS, and it's guaranteed to be future-proof for a while. Plus, no sealed battery. Just saying.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] voxigenboy:
It seems i changed my mind again gentlemen. Forget the RAZR, the HTC Rezound (aka HTC Vigor) comes out on Nov. 10

It has a dual-core 1.5GHz CPU + Beats by Dre audio
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Droidmoder:
Don't get I have to beat the jones's syndrome lol
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
I'm just curious, does anyone else find the hysteria since the new androids were announced, amusing? I was thrown off by all the excitement at first, but as more details were released, I'm happy I bought the bionic. Its the best phone I've had and what more can it possibly do that it can't already do. I also like its bulk. It makes it feel like a manly phone.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] art0605:
Don't get me wrong, Bionic is a monster. Best phone I've ever used, coming from HD2, HD7, Sensation, G2X. But the screen really turns me off, like, I really don't like it at all. And it's kinda clunky with the extended battery (which is a minute of a problem). I just hate the screen.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] inkdaddy66:
I was expecting the screen to be better as well. Although its the only android device I've had that I can see in the sunlight. I was kinda pissed that the razr was announced right after I got the bionic. But no matter what device you buy...something better gets announced the next week. I've had 2 Htc devices and 3 moto devices. The bionic out performs all other phones I've had and the battery life I get running d3blurr3d is stunning with the extended battery... far better than my tbolt with the 3200mah battery. I've bought too many phones within the past 2yrs. The bionic will last in my opinion

[Motorola Droid Bionic] art0605:
I am incredibly pissed (and currently jittery from drinking 60+oz of coffee and studying) about the timing with the Razr. But I have a problem with buying the latest phones... The ones I listed were all bought straight up in two years...

Battery life is no problem. I get like 12 hours on standard, and 30 hours on extended with d3lurred. Not sure how that mathematically works, but I am not complaining.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] CC Lemon:
I wouldn't really consider the beats stuff a benefit... it's mostly marketing and branding. Pretty much everything I've seen about Beats products seems to indicate that there's nothing particularly special about them and they are typically over priced for what you get. The only thing that would make a beats product worth it is if it happens to have the exact sound profile you like for most of the music you listen to.

Definitely not implying that the phone will be a bad product... just warning against that particular marketing hype. It just annoys me when a feature like that is almost 100% marketing, though I guess it doesn't matter if the pricing is similar to other devices. It's when they start charging more for it that I'll actually get annoyed.

Generally speaking, I think people need to realize that you're not going to see massive differences between devices at this point unless we start seeing more demanding capabilities from the software. The fact that quad core devices are being discussed already just shocks me. I can't imagine what all of that processing power will be used for considering how well my Atrix and Xoom have performed (and my Bionic for the 2 days I've owned it). If you're available for an upgrade, then it doesn't seem unreasonable to wait. If you already have a Bionic and would have to pay full price for any of these devices, then I'd say it's a little ridiculous to consider it unless you really have absolutely nothing better to do with that money.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] art0605:
I seriously do have a problem... I should probably see someone or get my debit card taken away. For reals.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] inkdaddy66:
Ha ha. I feel ya. ALL of the android phones I have. I bought at full retail price. Won't spend anymore money on that area. Usually when I get one device,its a given 2. One for me and one for my wife. Only phone I got for free was the original DROID. Vzw kicked it down after repeated problems with my blackberry. Bought 1 Dinc at retail. Bought 2 dXs at full retail. Got the tbolt for a contract renewal. Bought another tbolt at retail for my wife. Lol. Bought her a charge and myself a bionic. Its too much money on phones. But what can I say. I love android.

For me its not so much the audio but the fact that its a dual-core 1.5GHz CPU has me sold. Hell, i had a Toshiba laptop in 08 that was dual-core 1.6GHz...

I figure with a CPU that powerful in a phone; 1. you dont need to OC, and 2. thats gonna hold you over for some time.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Droidmoder:
Lol already ahead. Btw 1.5 ghz is stock for my phone.Actually gonna try for 1.7 ghz then 2.0 with paste.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
If dual 1GHz won't hold you over, neither will dual 1.5GHz. Something better will follow it and you will wish you waited for it. At this point, the issues are mainly with the software, not the hardware anyways.

On a side note, HTC is notorious for having horrible battery life, don't expect that to change.

Good man. I understand your pain... Being a fellow Android addict myself, it is always nice to have the "latest and greatest" for your carrier. But at the end of the day we need to draw the line, and realize at times it's just not worth it. Hell we have nothing to bog down the current dual core phones, any stuttering on blur is just cause of moto fail code.

I got the Bionic a week or so after it came out. I enjoy it, but I did have some buyer's remorse after looking at the RAZR. But the Bionic has a removable battery, so I think I'll stick with it. But the cycle is always like this, I'm happy with what I have.

Now, if they could just hurry up and release ICS and get it on the Bionic...

[Motorola Droid Bionic] zetsumeikuro:
RAZR's battery is built in completely and you cannot reomve it. The Nexus has a battery that you can take out like any standard phone. In the end it's your personal choice! For me I hate not having a battery that I can pull, or replace easily if it goes out on me.

having a non-removable battery might be a deal killer for me... I like HTC's hardware more, though.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rainscience:
Hello, sorry if my question had already been answered sometime, I'd be glad if you give me some advice.

I once tried to root my Samsung Galaxy S II using traditional method with odin, superoneclick and insecure kernel. It seemed to go well, but I didn't flashed stock kernel after (so when I reboot my phone, I see a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark, alongside with its name).

The problem is - I can't get an update through the Firmware update in phone settings, as it goes like this: I check for updates through phone settings, it says that an update for firmware is available, then it downloads the package, and goes into reboot, but when everything loads back, it says "Failed to update firmware", try again using PC software (Kies) or visit a Samsung service centre.

And when I try to connect to Kies, it either won't connect, or it would and say that an upgrade is available, I start doing backup and then "data backup cannot proceed because of an unexpected error"

Anyway, I'm ready to flash original firmware, I'm not really sure why I even rooted the phone in the first place. But maybe it's possible to do something to get updates through the phone without unrooting it?

I'm located in Russia, and the info via *#1234# is:

PDA: I9100XEKE2

PHONE: I9100XXKDJ

CSC: I9100OXEKE1

Build info: Fri May 6 07:45:29 KST 2011

Kies says this:

Current firmware version: PDA:KE2 / PHONE:KDJ / CSC:KE1 (SER)

Latest firmware version: PDA:KI4 / PHONE: KI1 / CSC:KI1 (SER)

Any thoughts?
