[Thunderbolt Android Development] g00s3y:
I wrote this on rootz, figured I would share it here too.

People seem to forget what beats are about. They don't make the music sound "better" they make it sound "clearer". You want "better" sounding music then yes, the others do a good job of that. But if you want to hear the music, how it sounds to artists in a studio, without extra filters, eq's, etc. put on by Bose, Sony, and the other manufacturers, then Beats are the way to go. I'm going to guess none of you have ever been inside a real studio (not your friend's basment with a mic and a padded wall, that isn't a studio) so you saying that beats don't do this, and are all marketing bs, don't really know what you are talking about.

I have had the Solos, sold them and got the Studio's, and sold them and now have the Pro's and I can say I have never heard music clearer before than I have with these. Want to know why the base sounds "deeper" or the treble is "louder" with other headphones? Because that's how they are made. Beats are made to sound exactly how the artist made the song in the studio and wanted people to hear it.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] nocoast:
I am an audio production major, my school has a multi million dollar studio and no one uses beats. AKG, SENNHEISER, AUDIO TECHNICA are the three major brands for lower end accurate audio reproduction. Truly "clear" headphones are electrostatic such as the ~$1000 stax in Japan, they require their own amp. I think its hillarious that you think beats (which have over accentuated lows and highs...to give compressed music come off of a ****ty audio driver (like the tbolt) a bigger richer sound? More accurate? Absolutely not recessed mids are guarunteed when you "eq" a set of headphones like beats chose to do. The most hillarious part is were in a discussion thread talking about a plugin that does that same eq/compression/gain bull**** and above poster is repping beats to be about accurate sound reproduction. You obviously know a lot less about audio than you pretend to....
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nocoast:
Not to mention with all of the money they put towards marketing, Justin bieber beats, p diddy beats, lady GaGa beats....its obvious that its directed at the commercial consumer market, NOT FOR THE AUDIOPHILE/PRODUCER. Go test a pair of ATH-M50s if you don't believe me...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] shadowpunx:
Case and point, beats useless, if you really know how you want your music to sound use playerpro with dsp pack, if your getting cracking, then lower your preamp and get a better output. My brother works the sound board for the starland ballroom in nj, very big venue, and I'm assistant production manager. We have had everyone from Justin bieber to as I lay dying. Beats that you guys are using isn't even the true beats that comes with whatever phones its coming with these days. Do some research and you'll find that out

You should have killed me, when you had the chance
[Thunderbolt Android Development] shadowpunx:
And what I mean by beats optimized is its set up to work best with the way beats headphones are set up...is that alittle easier to understand?

I have previously restored data, most specifically Sms logs, when going from Cognition to Unnamed. But when going from unnamed to serendipity, I can't get Backup pro, Titanium Backup, or Appextractor to restore my sms logs. It's pretty frustrating. I can get most of the apps and system data to come back, but not SMS. If anyone can recommend a method or program I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

SMS Backup and Restore by Ritesh Sahu

In general, you should not restore system data when changing ROMs - it will almost always break.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LongDuckDong:
Thanks

Thanks Entropy, I appreciate the response. Ended up using that program, which I was familiar with but had problems with it in the past. I found a good combo to be Super Backup and SMS Backup and Restore. Super backup handles the contacts and call logs great, Backup and restore works great for SMS, as long as you don't have too many messages ;).

I try to avoid restoring system data, accept for certain programs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I use Call Logs Backup and Restore (same guy as SMS Backup/Restore) for my call logs, and for contacts I just keep everything synced to Google.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] icexige:
so i understand that this change only applies to hotspot tethering devices and not the smartphone data usage but what if you are using hotspot hack and running sprint hotspot app to tether?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] morphis568:
If the hotspot app works like wifi tether in which it tries to mask your tether data as coming from your phone it will seem like to me that it won't be counted against you. But if the hotspot hack just allows you to use the app without paying for it then you may have the limits.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gotmilk702:
Naw, the way the stock wifi tether works is that it disconnects and connects to a different realm whenever you turn on the hotspot (so you have two different data meters). If you don't pay for the hotspot, you can't connect to the modem realm. However, the wifi tether just stays connected to the phone realm.

That said, they can tell if you are tethering, and if you data hog and tether you'll probably getting a polite letter from them telling you to pay or get cancelled and pay ETF :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SayWhat10:
this have any effect on being rooted and using wifi tether app?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frukissa:
can i update my rooted phone to an official firmware through kies ?

there wont be any problems right

ill lose my root as well?

thanks, frukissa

Rooting has nothing to do with Kies.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomascunill:
You'll loose root, but it shouldn't be so hard to re root.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] addam360:
Sorry about this, I've tried a quick search to avoid this embarrassment but nobody else seems to be this forgetful.:o

Anyway, I installed an official OT to 2.3.6 the other week and obviously lost root access. Problem is that I also lost custom recovery (just get the exclamation mark and the little android) and can't remember how to get root access back without just flashing the su.zip.

So... little help please? Preferably someway that won't involve my computer (its having some aging issues if you know what I mean... bit temperamental). Think I heard something once about an app called Ginger root or something that sounded about right.

Once again sorry for wasting your time but I could do with the help here.

Thanks in advance,

Addam.:D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude Random21:
You will need to either unlock the bootlader or downgrade using passimg because gingerbreak was patched in 2.3.4.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] addam360:
Well I'm not sure what difference the bootloader makes but mine is unlocked if you feel like explain it. If not downgrading shouldn't be an issue. Thanks for the help.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
If you have an unlock bootloader use fastboot too install a custom recovery. Boot into recovery and flash ROM of choice. Check out the wiki, good stuffs
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] addam360:
Edit: sorry about what this post used to say. Posted on wrong thread I think. Anyway thanks for the advice I guess I should stop looking for lazy ways of doing this kind of thing. Cheers.
[HTC Desire S] Ronny318:
Hallo

Ich come from Germany and my english is not so good.

My Desire S is TMobile branded.

I used the revolutionary 0.4pre4 for s-Off. Then I install the Software ClockWorkMode 5.2.0 over revolutionary, Then I flash the RUU " RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed.exe" over the branded ROM.

Then I used the Software "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip" for Root.

Then I used then Custom-ROM"LeeDrOiD_V2.5.0_A2SD_FINAL.zip".

Then I installed the App "4EXT Recovery Updater 2.0.8" and install 4EXT 2.2.7 RC3, because the Clockworkmode from Revolutionary does not work.

And now I have no entry over USB to Desire S, not in fastboot, not Boot-Mode.

Ich hope that you can help me.

Many Thanks.

Ronny

[Motorola Droid Bionic] voxigenboy:
here's a link to the article: http://www.gottabemobile.com/2011/1...or-and-droid-razr-launching-on-november-10th/

any of you switching up your Bionic's for one of those?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] spongers:
I am seriously considering replacing my Bionic for either the RAZR or the Nexus.....the Bionic is MUCH thicker than I anticipated, and the RAZR looks so amazing....then you have the Nexus with ICS....ugh...hard decision! They are all nice phones though, that is for sure!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dougdascenzo:
I am actually leaning toward the HTC device if anything. Sense as of 3.5 is extremely polished and IMO lightyears ahead of blur and touchwiz. My wife's incredible 2 is, for lack of a better term, an incredible phone but I couldn't convince myself to go with a 3G only phone. If this new HTC stacks up to the Inc2, but with 4G, count me in.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dakota0206:
Why didn't you get the thunderbolt?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zetsumeikuro:
Don't see any point at all. Marginal hardware bumps at best.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] MillionManMosh:
I can't wait for these devices to hit the market and reveal their inevitable faults so we can go back to talking about the Bionic in this Bionic forum.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bigsapz:
Amen! <MOD EDIT>

Sent from my DROID BIONIC
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lrs421:
Same here. We're not alone though, phone envy is growing like weeds on XDA these days. We've got great hardware, we're getting ICS and we're getting a bug fixing ota soon. People should really get a grip.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] voxigenboy:
I'm currently on a Thunderbolt and even though it has good support(roms/kernals/radios/etc) I've been feeling the need to want to upgrade. I hate having to overclock to get things running properly(plus overclocking shortens the battery even more).

I decided on the Bionic(just from the specs alone) until i was in a local Verizon store playing with the thing and didn't like the screen on it + i just didn't like the way it felt in my hands compared to the Thunderbolt. I've heard of people having audio & radio issues with it to.

So, since I can get the Bionic(or any of the new 3) for the same price i figure i may as well go with whatever has the best specs & hopefully works out well & gets good support to.

However, I am also thinking that once these new 3 hit the market, some people with existing Bionics are going to try and unload them for decent prices on craigslist and am contemplating just getting a Bionic after all for a good price.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kgbeezr1:
Wait, you don't even own a Bionic, yet you posted this in the Bionic forum? According to you, you already decided against the Bionic. So the only point your making then is that the phone owned by the people in this particular forum is sub-par, and you're considering one of the three new ones coming out instead. Yea. Cool. Go away.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
I concur. Go tell the people who own what you currently own.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zetsumeikuro:
The only thing that interests me out of the 3 phones coming out is ICS. But to me it's not worth going Samsung, and losing external SD. Also, the screen is going to be pentile too. http://www.phonedog.com/2011/10/21/will-a-pentile-display-turn-you-off-of-the-galaxy-nexus/ . Razr is also pentile , rezound is probably the only phone not rocking the pentile matrix. Droid life says ". If you thought the Bionic felt polished and smooth, just wait until you get your hands on this phone." I usually take what they say with a grain of salt, that site does tend to exaggerate. 200mhz doesn't make that much of a difference, all I could think of is the 2.3.4 vs 2.3.5. But when ICS hits all, that shouldn't matter anymore gg.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] CC Lemon:
Do we know for sure that the Bionic pricing will stay the same? I can't say that I've heard anything, but I've kind of assumed that the Bionic would be cheaper than newest phones. At the same price, I think too many people would choose the newer phones over the Bionic. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a price drop of some sort.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zetsumeikuro:
Probably won't see a price drop for awhile I'd imagine. The Droid Charge was overpriced for quite awhile.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lrs421:
Yeah, like from the beginning.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
Using the webtop, I seen the Bionic advertised for free about 2 days ago on one of the Motorola pages.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
That's like twisting the knife.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] korben44:
I own the Bionic, but I'll sell it for the HTC Rezound at the drop of a hat. I prefer HTC's build quality and style to Motorola's. Love the Bionic, though. The Galaxy Nexus is a slight disappointment and the RAZR looks sweet.

I'll have to play with them first, before I make a final decision.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
My take on them advertising the bionic for free on Motorola's pages on the webtop is that they are targeting businesses more than the average consumer. Attract the right manager, the whole department gets a Bionic as their work phone.

With Verizon eliminating their inlimited data plans, I'm sure that allows them to offer better deals on the phone themselves, as they will make it back on overages.

Until I see them offering free Bionics at the stores and advertise it on tv, I wouldn't make too much of it. They did say that the Bionic was going to be a business phone, so offering better deals in places business leaders will see them makes sense.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Rootuser3.0:
Idk the HTC Rezound reminds me of the HTC Sensation nothing but lag with sense
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eraursls1984:
Motorola has much better build quality than HTC. The only disappointing thing about the nexus is that its made by Samsung, and I'd prefer to have a phone that gets signal over one that has the latest OS, or even unlocked.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] stultz:
I'm in for the one that has the least troubles with data dropping and not coming back.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dougdascenzo:
I heard terrible things about the battery life. So I went the Charge (signed up right before the tiered data) and had major call reception issues in my hometown. Since I bought at Costco, I was able to trade it in for the Bionic when it came out. My hesitance with the Thunderbolt is that people have reported such poor battery life with it. My boss at work tells me he leaves data off entirely unless he is using it to get through a day. I'm sure he is not using it optimally, but it just didn't sound worth trying especially since by phone standards, that phone is aging fast.

You're so right because calling people retards because they are talking about some upcoming releases (in comparison to the bionic mind you) is such a great contribution to the forum and respectful to boot.

Why do people in every respective phone forum get some defensive and lash out at anyone that mentions **GASP** another phone model? Are guys that insecure about your phone? Get a grip.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zetsumeikuro:
It's because they get on here and bash the phone,and QQ about how they need the upcoming release because of insignificant minor hardware bumps. I'm pretty positive everyone on here already knows about the upcoming releases. It does get annoying when they post zomg Bionic is **** now derp derp derp derp. It's those posts that agitate people on here, not the hey check out this new phone coming out! Looks pretty sweet! I for one am not insecure about my purchase of the Bionic, if I were I could easily return it in time for the preorder for one of these phones.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bigsapz:
Exactly. Always has to be "the bionic sucks compared to this...phone".

[Motorola Droid Bionic] dougdascenzo:
Sorry, try again. That may happen in other threads, but I didn't feel the OP said anything poorly about the Bionic nor did I. Did you read the comments in the thread or did you just read the title, assume all this was true, and then respond? Everyone into smart phones gets fired up about new ones when they come out, that will never change, so you probably just need to get over it or learn to deal. Anyway, keep trashing people on forums if that's what you need to do.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zetsumeikuro:
Yes I'm trashing your post, that's totally what I'm doing. Perhaps me and several others are just getting tired of seeing repeat posts/threads. We all know "newer" phones are being released, no I don't care if theres constructive criticism/discussion about them. But then 95% of the threads posted on here with the same title end up as "OMG BIONIC SUCKS COMPARED TO THIS LAJDAJSLDJAJDJALD". You get tired of it srsly, nuff said.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] CC Lemon:
Don't use sense. I thought HTC phones were generally pretty good with developers so there should be a few options in terms of roms. I'm sure there's a way to avoid lag if it does somehow lag in stock form.

How does moto have much better build quality? The look and feel of the HTC devices seems much better than any of the moto devices I've seen. If you're speaking about reliability, I don't think that's what the other comment was directed at.

I can see why people dislike posts like the OP and your's. This section is supposed to be dedicated to discussions of the Bionic. Even though the OP did mention the Bionic, it was hardly the main focus of the post. There wasn't even an effort to compare any of the specs for the devices. The general feel was: "Hey! These new devices have shown up... Who's jumping ship?!"

Your post had a bad vibe for similar reasons. You basically pointed out that you are dissatisfied with your current device, looked at the Bionic but you were disappointed. Now you're interested in these other devices, with the understanding that they might meet your standards where the Bionic failed. Basically the only reason your post was relevant was because it related to the OP's and I explained above why that doesn't come across well. I do give you credit for at least doing some comparison of the devices. I'm not personally offended or anything, but I can see why others might be. I personally wouldn't choose to post in another phone's section about why I had considered that phone but decided against it, with the exception of someone specifically trying to compare devices and seeking advice.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] CC Lemon:
My mistake. I confused you with someone else that posted in the thread earlier when I quoted you.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eraursls1984:
The look and feel are just part of the build quality and they are based on opinion, I prefer the look and feel of my old Droid X over any phone out, I'd choose the Bionic second. I had a t bolt and I didn't like the look or feel of it and the rest of the build quality sucked. HTC has good software (except their radios) but bad hardware compared to Motorola, I had nothing but problems with my t bolt, and the only problem I'm having with the bionic is the crazy touch screen while plugged up to some chargers.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
For the people who feel they have to get the newest and greatest device, just remember the newest and greatest won't have the greatest roms. If you keep switching to the newest, you will never experience the best roms.

When all these people trade in their bionic, the rest of us will be experiencing more advanced roms while they have to wait. By the time their roms get more advanced, something else will be announced that they will be drooling over.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mufc1991:
It depends really. For Example any phone with an unlocked bootloader will be a step ahead of a phone with one that is locked.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lrs421:
Not to those who don't root their phone. Which not everyone does. Some people just want a great out of box experience.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] YoungSkeezy:
Really quite excited to see how many Dev's go to Nexus.

Either way, I'm holding on to Bionic for a while (at least til Christmas) :)

I've loved Moto products forever, and I love the Devs that find ways around moto's tom-foolery.

Dont see why I'd go either, that costs WAY too much ;P
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
That's not necessarily true. The LG Revolution has an unlocked bootloader and it's not ahead of a phone with a locked bootloader. I believe they only have 3 roms and it's been out since May.

I thought the same as you did until I bought the Revolution. I now see the booloader as one of many obstacles.
