[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
If this is true my D3 will hit ebay and I'll buy a nexus. This is just bad business, asinine.

I don't see how they can do this to consumers and think it's okay. I signed an additional 2 years onto my 1 year for this phone, just to be ****ed in the ass 3 months later. I will not buy anything but nexus in the future. One phone a year, like it's supposed to be.

Can see VZ bloatware on one of the pics -- would assume this is fairly close. Moto/VZ appear to be really jerking around customers these days - I am sure Bionic customers are upset that the Droid RAZR came out so quickly (although the gap between Bionic and RAZR is much smaller), and now us Droid 3'ers have this Droid 4 coming out. I am more interested in how much RAM this thing has - LTE still sucks down too much battery life for my taste, and non-removable battery is non-ideal - I like the the slim Motorola extended batteries - the 1900 mah one for Droid 3 adds essentially no thickness and lasts a lot longer than stock 1500.
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Non removable battery is an instant do not want from me also, but I'm just pissed about this ****. I will never buy another motorola phone, I'm done. Give me Nexus or give me death.
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
I paid full retail for this phone right when it came out, I'm pretty pissed. If that comes out within the next few months (from the looks of it, it will) it'll be goodbye moto and hello nexus for me.
[Motorola Droid 3] Baconstrip:
Yeah ill be pretty frustrated @ moto too.... problem is I can't live without a keyboard and for some reason moto is the only company willing to put out higher end keyboard phones :(
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
Well, the Nexus looks great (as long as you are ok with something that big - I am not), and I do love the idea of a pure Google experience, but nobody has actually used one; we have no idea how good or bad it will be. And, this is a Samsung phone, and is coming out even closer to the launch of the Samsung Charge than any the presumed D4 is coming to the D3. This is the reality - you reach a point to get an upgrade, you get the upgrade, and you stop worrying whether something slightly better is coming out in a few months - because it is.

I'm ok with a thinner device with non-removable battery - I have chargers everywhere, including in my car, and there are plenty of great portable charging devices that you can get for phones like that. After tons of issue with the Bionic over two weeks dropping data (3G, in areas where I know I have a solid 3G signal), I'm happy to have the D3 for the next 19.5 months, and give plenty of time to Moto and VZW to get LTE truly ready for prime time - because it's not quite there now. The D3 is a great phone and I'll be fine with it; not a single data drop since I've had it, and battery life is about the same as the Bionic (when it was running CDMA only).

I do think that this angle-cornered design of the Razr and this prototype is a bit on the unattractive side, though, compared with the Bionic/D3.
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
I don't mind that they are putting out another version of the Droid soon. It's a losing battle to have the latest and greatest phone. What bothers me is what will happen to OS updates. Will phones get abandoned quicker?

Also did anyone else notice non-removable battery, looks like I wouldn't buy it. I pay an and a leg for a phone along with a plan and both Verizon and Motorola act like they own your phone. Do they not realize why people buy Android phones? I can upgrade/swap batteries, I can run whatever programs I want, I can add a memory card, etc.
[Motorola Droid 3] smoshism:
for people like sims and whitty who have been doing a lot of work on the d3 and are being ostracized, i firmly believe this is an idiotic move on moto's side. I'm probably gonna go the nexus route if the d4 drops as soon as everyone is speculating it is. This is some major bs.
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
At least I have the Transformer Prime to look forward to....

But seriously. Ugh. Waco has no 4G of any kind and won't for years to come so this doesn't affect me too much, but still. This will take away a huge amount of potential users and will piss off all the D3 buyers, especially the ones like me who bought it on full retail.
[Motorola Droid 3] rweb:
I hope the D4 will have no global radio, so I will not be tempted. ;-)
[Motorola Droid 3] cappysw10:
Most people won't have 4G for at least another year. By then, that phone will be obsolete, I wouldn't sweat the small stuff.

*If you're not on Gingerbread, you should be shot*
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
Really, who cares about 4G when the 3G part is not on par with a 3 years old Sonyericsson phone ?
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Good God some of you are getting worked up over a phone. It is not a big deal just let it go.
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
It is a big deal because if someone wants a qwerty are they going to buy the 3 or the 4? We'll be left behind with a smaller community, as great as it is. It's just frustrating and I've had it with moto's bull****.
[Motorola Droid 3] Rlin5741:
Interesting point, if it does have a GSM radio, this will be the first Global capable phone with LTE. How wold that even work, 2 SIM cards?
[Motorola Droid 3] mgerbasio:
Non-replaceable battery will keep it off my list too. I'm in the NYC Metro Area and I know a few people with LTE phones, Bionic, Charge and TB. All have the same complaint, the battery life is horrible and they have constant connection issues. I'm waiting until next year summer-fall when the 2nd or 3rd generation LTE chips come out.
[Motorola Droid 3] jellman:
i was pissed then i saw no removable battery the i was like i dont care lol. i choose unlimited 3g over limited 4g any day i got grandfatherd over so its all good
[Motorola Droid 3] eXecuter.bin:
Motorola can't be serious, Droid 3 is only about 4 month old.

And I don't really like the curved design
[Motorola Droid 3] tcrews:
If you're on unlimited data now (using 3G), when you switch to a 4G phone you stay on unlimited data (now using 4G).
[Motorola Droid 3] kern417:
I don't see how this makes for good business. It seems to me they made the D3 just so they could release this as the D4(g) for the name. Would Verizon have both on the shelves at the same time because I too think that would be awkward and lead everyone to the newer model, plus I can't see them putting that much development into a phone that they would sell for less than 6 months.
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Keep calling in for replacements until they send you a Droid 4 lol.
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
They could drop the on-contract price to $100/$150, cuz the way things are going it looks like all lte devices are starting at $299. The price would play a huge factor into that, cuz most probably can't tell the difference between 3g/4g or don't care about processor speeds and memory.
[Motorola Droid 3] Lyxdeslic:
Honestly, it's not that big of a deal. There's so much awesome development going into the D3 that it wouldn't make sense to get a D4. There's LTE all over the place where I live but I couldn't care less...I'm always in a WiFi area anyway. Also, I'd rather have a D3 with CM7 on it than a D4 that no devs will support because they're afraid the D5 will be out 6-8 months later. Eff Verizon and Eff Motorola for letting these images leak. D4 shouldn't be released until Q4 2012.
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
Well, the D2 followed the D1 by 10 months (November 2009 to August 2010), the D3 followed the D2 by 11 months (July 2011), so you'd think the D4 would be out at some point around early May to early June 2012 - Q4 would be very late.

But, honestly, if Motorola makes a D4 available before then, more power to 'em. It doesn't affect my D3 at all - it's still as great a phone as it would have been without a D4. It also means that maybe there will be a D6 around the time I am ready to upgrade...
[Motorola Droid 3] jarzy00:
Lmao amen to that
[Motorola Droid 3] jellman:
did not know that thank you
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Unless all all motorola FW updaters / devs go to droid 4 and leave us to rrot
[Motorola Droid 3] Savior057:
Yeah the non-removable battery thing pretty much kills it for me too, especially since it's LTE. You'll get about, what? 6-10 hours of battery life? Not even a work-day's worth? Absurd. You'd have to carry a portable charger with you and plug the thing in every time you stopped walking or sat down for 5 minutes. Or you could design a special powered Ghostbusters-style backpack with a motorcycle battery in it and a low-wattage power inverter with a retractable micro-USB cord coming out of it. Perfectly reasonable for the sake of having a phone, really.
[Motorola Droid 3] danielkuhlman:
The battery is a killer for me. I've had to pull my battery about a zillion times after bad flashes and experiments gone wrong. Wouldn't feel comfortable with a phone that bootloops until the battery dies. **** motorola and their stupid locked bootloader faces, I'm going with the galaxy nexus.
[Motorola Droid 3] Hashcode:
I won't be upgrading to the D4, and I won't be getting a GNex either.

I do live in an area where LTE is very available, but I like the world phone option for traveling. I can't imagine that the D4 will support all 3: cdma, gsm and LTE. And the GNex doesn't have a keyboard.

So it's the D3 for me for the duration. When I come up on a contract renewal in a year and a half, we'll see what's out there. As it was, the D3 was really the ONLY option I had at the time and still remains the only option to date.

So sad, that people who like physical keyboards get no lovin'.
[Motorola Droid 3] danielkuhlman:
I had to original droid and the droid 2. From there I went to the fascinate, to the droid x,to the thunderbolt, to the revolution, to the charge, to the iphone, to the droid 3 because i thought I missed the keyboard. Honestly, I've gotten so used to swype I hardly use the keypad, except to play emulators.
[Motorola Droid 3] rweb:
Yes, according to a leaked VZW document I saw at Engadget the D4 is definitely not a global phone.

Glad to hear you keep your D3. :-)
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
As long as we have Hashcode D3 will live lol
[Motorola Droid 3] mikedyk43:
There really isn't anything to be upset about, afterall the D3 is a very good successor to the OG DROID (except for the whole bloatware and locked bootloader thing). The D4 is supposed to be the next version, but is it really worth upgrading to? As I am sure 4G is wonderful, it is not practical to use in a phone until they figure out a way to get it on the same radio, or at least use less battery. Personally, I can wait for 4G until this happens. I think people have already forgotten the real problem we have with Motorola, it isn't the number of phones they make, its the amount of time it takes to develop software for them because of their habit of locking the BOOTLOADER. Anybody remember hearing that we were going to have bootloaders unlocked by the end of this year, well only one month to go. For those of you who keep complaining about phone models coming out too quickly, grow up, it's product marketing and just a part of life. If you don't like it, get an iphone and you wont have to worry about a newer, not quite state of the art phone for a whole year.
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
Moto announced that the non-US version of the Razr would have a carrier option to have an unlockable bootloader - but carriers can choose the locked and encrypted bootloader. Presumably Verizon chose to have the Razr locked. That doesn't give me much hope that future, non-Nexus VZW devices will be otherwise.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ivanrcks95:
hello again this time i just wanted to know what dpi is equal too in resolution terms..

i want to know what 80dpi means in resolution so could someone answer me like

80dpi=1280x720 or 80dpi=XXXXxXXX can someone say what exactly is it??
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] downloadonlyaccount:
The dpi gives you information about the relation between resolution and size of the screen.

So a huge screen (50") with just a 800*600 resolution has a really low DPI, and so the picture has quite a low quality as you could se every pixel. Modern phones have quite a huge resolution on a really small size. So some even have such a high DPI that you can't even see a single pixel just with your eyes which means a much better quality.

But you cant say ABC-DPI mean X-Y-resolution, its just a relation between size and relation.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ivanrcks95:
oh ok well i manually changed my aces dpi to 80 and it says its resolution now is 960x640 so is that good or bad?? plus i got an 100% replica of the ics 4.0(its a theme) so im really lovin my ace now

I have the 10.1 16 Gb / Us version rooted with "in Paris" ROM and after using the option to hide the User Bar and after unhidding it the theme went black (not the first time) and the power menu become unaccesible because every time i hitted it, the screen turns off but without locking so pushed the power button for 10 second and restared but now it just boot loop, im able to acces clockwork recovery and odin but dont know what to do. I tryed erasing cache, dalvik, wipe data, etc but nothing seems to work. So anyone willing to help me?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] used2hvatreo:
Have you gone into CWM and just reflashed the ROM?

I would recommend that once you get back up and running, you flash back to stock, flash the stock recovery on there and do a full wipe. Then follow the procedure to get CWM and a clean install of "In Paris". Then DO A BACKUP in CWM. Next time you will just have to restore your backup should something like this happens. (You backup/restore thru CWM)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaror1992:
i cant flash any rom because i cant acces the /sdcard because only after booting up it can be mounted, since it wont boot i cant mount it.

BTW: im a total noob regarding ADB but i installed the SDK and i couldnt push files because it says "/shbin/sh "command" doesnt exist"

im spanish so my english is not perfect, sorry for that

update: I managed to push two .zip's to "/sdcard" and "/mnt/sdcard" but when trying to "install zip from sdcard" in CWW it says "no files found", so i pushed the same .zip but with the name of update.zip and tryed "apply update from sdcard" and it says "failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory"

i tryed the adb command "adb shell mount /sdcard" and it says "cant find /sdcard in /etc/fstab" and the same thing with /mnt/sdcard

so my guess is that /sdcard its not mounted because when trying to install the .zip it doesnt even let me browse the sd

Please help im desperate
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaror1992:
solved

after many hours of searching i realized that when pushing files i did not write it correctly

what i did:

adb push update.zip /sdcard

what should be:

adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip

i dont know why CWM didnt let me browse for .zip files in sdcard but i dont care sinc i fixed it. thanks anyway

http://techie-buzz.com/mobile-news/htc-incredible-s-to-get-official-sense-3-0-update.html

"Like the Desire S software update, the software update for the Incredible S will bring with it Sense 3.0, along with its goodies like a 3D launcher, and a widget-izied lock screen. The Android version will also be bumped to 2.3.5, and will also bring Google Talk with video chatting capabilities to the handset."

How come no one have posted these links?

So, looks like HTC won't ignore the IncS owners! For now...

*edit*

(damn, just noticed someone posted this in another thread, but w/e, this way more ppl will see it!)
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
The question is when ....
[HTC Incredible S] Splux:
Read the twitter link from PaulOBrian.

"So Saga and Vivo (Desire S and Incredible S) have official Sense 3.0 builds now. "

If the builds are done, it shouldn't be long before they release it.

But then again, you never know with HTC. For me it seems like they're pretty slow at updating their phones...
[HTC Incredible S] fallenwout:
Better slow and solid, than fast and buggy ;)
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
HTC gives the word SLOW another meaning.

Htc are one of the best
[HTC Incredible S] Raithmir:
Agreed. I had the original Samsung Galaxy before the Incredible S. The updates from Samsung were buggy and slow to non-existent. That was what prompted me to move to HTC since they seemed much better.
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
So why does desire s have it and inc s doesn't? They are virtually the same.

And saying there are a lot of phones not having it is a non-sense argument. VIVO is not an old phone. So it is our right to expect better service
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
Dude we have gb, and sense 3 is coming...

Quit your *****in.

What's nonsense is your incessant whining.

We will also get ics I'm sure.

Htc is one of the best for updates, if you're complaining about this then you probably just shouldn't own an Android phone.
[HTC Incredible S] TMarcus68:
As long as its quality, time is something that can be wait.
[HTC Incredible S] Splux:
Well, if they continue updating this rapidly we'll have cm9 before official sense 3.0 x)

Anyway, anyone who's gotten the update yet?
