How creditable is that fella, wolfe? 31 posts w/ 8 thx. If he had a connection like that you'd think his post count would be retarded with threads on unlocks since his buddy "...would come over to my house and unlock my bootloader".
[Motorola Droid X2] booked:
Where can I watch a replay of the event?
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
Yeah, take it with a grain of salt for sure. Worth a read at least.

Here is why it had me thinking. Moto always blames Verizon for the BL. HTC and Sammy phones get unlocked all day. So why would Verizon bias Moto? It gets the gears churning boys...
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
I don't believe any Moto phone has their bl unlocked, do they? The lock is all Moto. My gut is telling me if it were up to Google they would have all phones

unlocked and completely open.

Either way, thx for sharing! Good to see you lingering around here yet.
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
ATRIX, photon (aka MoPho), OG Droid, XOOM, and a couple more I believe.

Unlocked.

Edit: eris = HTC. Garbage phone btw.
[Motorola Droid X2] hitman_dreams:
Back on topic, I heard that all phones running 2.3 will get ics...that means us. So I have my hopes up. I also have my hopes that moto will make good on their deadline to unlock their devices.
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
My thoughts are, with the patent wars, Google is trying to cover their ass right now. Until the proposed deal is approved, they are wanting to make sure that nothing slips thru the cracks that could be harmful to their cause in the hands of the opposition. Not to mention, they probably have some new devices in testing along with new hardware components that would be in Google's best interest not to have leaked until they are certified by the FCC. I am going to have to give Google the benefit of the doubt, and say until the deal is approved, they are doing what they can to cover their asses.

As far as VZW being to blame for Moto, I think it has to do with the fact that Moto is an American company, and they can be pressured by big Red. Whereas HTC and Samsung typically have a broader market share outside of the US. Especially with Sammy being a monstrosity of a Korean company in all terms. I lived in Korea for 2 years(Army), LG and Sammy run their world over their! LG is even the biggest ISP! They are leaps and bounds beyond what we have in the US over there though. Thanks to the FCC and FTC! My computer monitors are 2 Innopix 24" OLED 1920x1200 and I bought them there almost 4 years ago for $150/ea! I built my entire computer setup there Feb 2008, I still score a 6.8 on Windows experience index. Cost me less than $1,500 for what would have cost $4,000 easily to buy off of Best Buys shelf... Not to mention Apple, ugh.

The simple fact that they locked the Razr before it is even released, lends me to believe your hopes will be crushed. Sorry man, no reason to lock a phone during the same period you stated you would unlock them.

Now, if 4.0 is still a "Google Experience" as other phones update to it, without their blur's and sense's like honeycomb was for tablets, MAYBE.
[Motorola Droid X2] dr.diesel:
Didn't I read ICS requires 1G of RAM?
[Motorola Droid X2] iCurmudgeon:
According to a spokesman, the lockdown was at the request of the carrier -- VZW, in this case. I am so sick of the shenanigans ...
[Motorola Droid X2] singlesword:
I sent a tweet to moto asking if they have a list of phones that is going to get the ICS update. Maybe they will respond.
[Motorola Droid X2] TransX2:
I read somewhere that ice cream sandwich has hardware acceleration. Yay! Lol
[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
I understand the locked bootloaders because VZW probably spends thousands of dollars replacing phones for people who don't know what they are doing, just trying to impress friends. But still, we payed for it, its ours, we should be able to break it if we want :)

And I think we will get ICS, it just might take longer than expected.
[Motorola Droid X2] booked:
Yea If I want to ruin my phone that should be my life choice.
[Motorola Droid X2] singlesword:
Motorola said that within 6 weeks after the release of ICS they would announce what phones will get the ICS update.
[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
6 weeks, + 2 weeks for testing, 1 week for a break, 2 weeks for technical difficulties, and another 3 weeks for our phone :)
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
You are forgetting x amount of weeks to develop a "blur" skin, x amount to map hard keys, x amount to lock the bootloader, x amount to iron out the rest of the bugs, x amount to convince VZW to push the OTA. This is a MAJOR update and overhaul. Remember how long Gingerbread took to hit the X1? ~6 months from the Nexus S. That was only 2.2.2 to 2.3.3! Let's guesstimate May, and if comes sooner, cool, if not, what did you REALLY expect? :rolleyes:
[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
Yeah. I have hopes that we will get it, just not soon.
[Motorola Droid X2] phobes:
Isn't it impossible (or nearly) to brick an unlocked device? If so, they're shooting themselves in the foot by not allowing us unlocked goodness :P
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
TechBuzz is reporting that the Razr will be the first moto phone to have the unlock/relock option built into the bootloader. But vzw has disabled that on their version of the device. International versions may have it enabled.
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
Which means they just need to rip the option from international versions and flash it. Once those files are released to someone in the public Verizon won't be able to do much unless they threaten to stop selling moto phones (unlikely)
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
It isn't THAT simple lol. If not impossible.
[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
But at least there's hope.
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
It IS that simple. If the files are made public for phones in other countries, its the same phone, it will be available to everyone. I didn't say we could port the razr files, I'm saying that phones available on multiple carriers that have unlock on 1 carrier, the sbf that contains the unlock can be flashed onto a Verizon phone. Explain to me why that is impossible.
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
Probably the same reason we can't do it with the atrix ;) lol, There is a good explanation about this in one of the other BL threads.
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
Congratulations. You cannot read. Are you saying you can't flash an sbf for the ATRIX onto an ATRIX?
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
No so obviously YOU can't read since "WE" being those of us in the DX2 forums where we are currently, can't flash/sbf the ATRIX versions.

Hmm, continuing adding to my point from earlier. lol
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
I never said we could dude, let me put this in small words for you. If moto unlocks razr for sprint, Verizon people with razr can flash the sprint sbf. Get it? I'm so proud of you!
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
Not true, they don't use LTE antennas, same reason Atrix CDMA/WiMax doesn't work with CDMA.
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
EvilTim is right.

It's the same way the Atrix got unlocked. Proof is in the pudding - Atrix pudding to be exact...
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
But, is the international version even going to be an LTE device? Apples and Oranges like Atrix and X2 was my point.

And if he was right, why isn't ours unlocked by now ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] LordRalh3:
.... What other carrier has an unlocked x2 we can pull from man... You really shouldn't argue with EvilTim so much, atrix to x2 is not the same

from my finally liberated X2 roaming the north
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
THIS IS MY POINT! Damn! Read above, then read above that, then read above that! You restated what I already said!
[Motorola Droid X2] Kanibull:
I don't know the specific pf bootloader unlocks but when the AT&T ATRIX was unlocked, international users needed to wait for a different method I believe. The main thing you guys may be forgetting is that we are talking about Motorola and usually when they want your bootloader locked it stays locked
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
Let me recap what Tim said:

The US atrix was as locked down as fort knox, or the x2 if you will. The bootloader unlock they found was from a european build. Since Moto said they are going to allow the european build to be unlocked on the Razr, we could use the same method (as the atrix) to unlock the US Razr.

We aren't saying there is a european x2, we are simply talking about how the atrix got unlocked and how the razr will be unlocked.
[Motorola Droid X2] DAG425:
That's just me tho...

Off, yet somehow back on, topic.... Atrix has CM7 now, Nexus S has ICS port... I wish I knew more programming to help, Who can we ask, pay, get to volunteer, to get one or the other??? At this point I would be ecstatic with CM7 and would proly have a nerd-gasm, have a stroke, aneurysm, jump for joy, and I don't know what else all at the same time for a buggy ICS port..... That's just me tho...

[HTC EVO 3D] Ahmad_14:
Hey everyone, I just purchase one of those Red, Yellow and White extended batteries for my Evo 3D on Ebay. The purpose of this thread is to provide a brief review on this battery. This battery is actually a GREAT deal (around $10) and provides just about double the battery life of the original Evo 3D battery. Bellow are pictures of the battery I purchased from Ebay and a description of how I initially "trained" it.

Side note: I purchased from a U.S. seller and it got to my house super quick and wasn't one of the cheep Chinese knockoffs.

"Training" the battery:

I wanted the best possible life from this battery so here are the steps I took to initially charge it. Please note: Step one requires a custom recovery (s-off). I'm not entirely sure if it is necessary but I did it anyway.

Step 0: Install a battery gauge widget. I used "Gauge battery"

Step 1: Boot into recovery, go to advanced and click on clear battery stats.

Step 2: Power off device

Step 3: Install extended battery and back cover

Step 4: Turn EVO 3D on and plug into charger. Charge until widget indicates battery is at 100%

Step 5: Unplug EVO, turn off, pull out battery, wait a few seconds, put back in, turn phone back on and plug in charger.

At this point, once you power the phone back on and plug it in, it should still be at 99% (or somewhere in the high 90s) just keep repeating steps 4 and 5 until the widget says 100%. Remember to fully drain the battery without ever plugging it into the charger. It would be wise to fully charge and fully discharge the battery about two or three times before normal use (plugging it into the charger whenever you feel like it). I really hope this helps. I myself wanted a good alternative to the expensive extended batteries and I got that with this battery. Ill try to post a few pictures of mine.
[HTC EVO 3D] 93hostang:
I just received it and noticed the wall charger won't accept the extended batteries. Sent an email, waiting for reply. I hope the batteries work better than the charger...

[HTC EVO 3D] neonfreak20:

[HTC EVO 3D] ExploreMN:
I just got one of these things as well (not the same seller) and can confirm the wall charger does not charge it. Not only that, but it shows up as "unknown battery status" in Android. Pretty sure it was a waste of $10.

I have one of these and it is Sweet....
[HTC EVO 3D] dr.chucky:
You guys should give the yoobao batteries a try. They are awesome. The only problem I have is the back cover not completely snapping on. But the battery itself is pretty amazing. I first got one on my og evo and got atleast two days without charging out of it regularly. The 3d battery is just about as good as that
[HTC EVO 3D] cupliz:
yes, yoobao battery have handicaps.

1. hole for usb data cable isn't fit. (use cutter, give more space)

2. can't completely snapping on. (put on desk that covered with carpet, push till snapping on)

3. hard to taking off the back door. (go to gym, get more muscle)

4. Sometimes(not all) battery is doesn't fit on phone, so battery easy to regardless from the phone. (use cellophane tape wisely, till thickness is fit)

but what you expect from $20 battery + back door?? and we still fix up the problem with little work, beside that the battery is good enough.. LOL so we can do little work and all will be awesome
[HTC EVO 3D] dr.chucky:
The og evo battery didn't have all these problems, and looked so much better too
[HTC EVO 3D] cupliz:
For me og is worse, standby with evdo (3g)+whatsapp+gtalk, its < 8hours.. thats not smart enough for smartphone...

And at last, this topic talk about extended battery, discussion about og battery will be OoT... lol

Ps: og is original??

Sent from my LG-P500
[HTC EVO 3D] dr.chucky:
Yes, og is original. But to back on topic, the yoobao battery is the best for its price. $20 for that battery is good, and to get a better battery you would either have to get the seidio or a mugen. I heard the seidio batteries were very good, never tried one myself, too expensive in my opinion. Never tried mugen either, but at $80 they better be damn good
[HTC EVO 3D] bsoplinger:
I like my Lazlo (I believe I have the name correct) extended battery. It has a unique, as in love it or hate it, design. Only the area where the battery sits is fat with the edges of the case still thin. This allows you to keep using docks and other accessories because the whole back isn't fat like all the other extended battery backs I've seen.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King Shady:
Hey guys who's selling their GSII to get a Galaxy Nexus? I am, I have always wanted a pure Google experience (though TW 4.0 is pretty good) and the screen is really what is the selling point. Having come from an iPhone 4 to a GSII, I found the screen to be insanely bright and beautiful, but the text sharpness just wasn't the same! The Galaxy Nexus will surely eliminate that problem with the Super Amoled HD screen! In addition, I love the plethora of new features that were included in ICS and I am so looking forward to them. Just my 2 cents.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neonlazer:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunted09:
am i the only one slightly underwhelmed? the screen is the only standout and I think its too big. ICS is going to get ported within weeks thx to xda. Everything else on the nexus is just equal or less when compared to the sgs2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulavetta:
I think I'm with you on this one. I just can't choose between the two. Am I just being greedy? On the Galaxy Nexus I love the new screen resolution and that data usage tool. Will come in handy with all the tiered data we got going around on AT&T now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuffyPSP:
yeah man. I'm not ditching phone of the year 2011. but i want the pure google OS on a GOOGLE phone. SGS2 i'll be using TW since some features are not in AOSP rom of SGS2. so yeah i'll definitely get this Nexus.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King Shady:
Don't know.

"Beginning with Android 4.0, hardware acceleration for all windows is enabled by default if your application has set either targetSdkVersion or minSdkVersion to “14" or higher. Hardware acceleration generally results in smoother animations, smoother scrolling, and overall better performance and response to user interaction.

If necessary, you can manually disable hardware acceleration with the hardwareAccelerated attribute for individual <activity> elements or the <application> element. You can alternatively disable hardware acceleration for individual views by calling setLayerType(LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE).

For more information about hardware acceleration, including a list of unsupported drawing operations, see the Hardware Acceleration documents."
