[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Same story here OP. My OG Droid never had a case on it and the screen was perfect when I sold it, same with my Droid X. I have 2 hairline scratches and a tiny chip on my Droid 3... and it has a case and is always in my pocket by itself.
[Motorola Droid 3] `Ghost`:
To the OP...

QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ

Seriously. You sound like a cry baby. I don't care if a phone has a diamond coated protection layer, ill still slap on at the very least a 5 dollar no name screen protector. Infact I even cut a screen protector to size to cover the camera lens. Why? Because I don't take the chance. Obviously something YOU did scratched the screen. Its not the phones fault or motorolas fault. Time to put the big boy pants on, accept some responsibility, and realize it was something you did.

End.
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
I really don't think he's crying about it, he's making a valid point. If a phone from 2 years ago has better scratch resistance, I think that's a problem too. Technology is supposed to improve as time goes on, not be cheaply mass-produced with low quality materials. Should he have put a screen protector on it, probably, but why would he assume he'd need to if an old model lasted 2 years without a scratch?

Chill out.
[Motorola Droid 3] Yonnor:
I thought it was determined that the screen had a anti-glare covering that was the culprit of the micro-scratches, not the gorilla glass?

TL:DR Buy a screen protector, I got one for $5 off eBay with a car charger.
[Motorola Droid 3] tenchi19134:
I teared when my OG Droid got a scratch a month before replacing it with the D3. So I slapped a screen protector on my D3 and now I'm happy. :D

Honestly, thinking that anything is unscratchable sounds more like a "User Error ID:10T" problem. The Gorilla glass on the Droid 3 doesn't seem as strong as the OG Droid because people wanted anti-glare.

Technology is improving, some users on the other hand aren't.

@Yonnor

Dude, nice buy. :cool:

It was $15 for my combo at an authorized dealer.
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
Last weekend some friends and I were having a "fun and chill" experience, when I decided to get out of their car and go wait in mine with a girl. Then we got an idea of sneaking up to their car and using the LED of my phone to imitate the brightass spotlight on police cars. And so while holding my phone in her hand, the girl crawled across the parking garage to the other car.

[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
My ex girlfriend managed to scratch my gift, a Rado watch (which is one of the hardest thing on the earth) after three days of use.

So I guess is not too hard to scratch a piece of gorilla glass too.

Btw gorilla glass or not the Droid 3 bezel is way more delicate than the one of my old Milestone 1.

I had the latter for a whole year and all the phone (toy keyboard excluded) looked like new after such amount of time, the D3 already feels "used" after a month.
[Motorola Droid 3] Savior057:
Wow, is the D4 really not going to have a removable battery..? What sort of iPhone-ish ******ry is THAT?? I really, really hope that's not true, because any smart-phone that can't take an upgraded battery is not worth having. Screw 8-10 hours of battery life, that's pathetic.

But on topic, my screen is still fine as well.
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
Looks like that most of the Apple competitors are doing their best to copy the idiotic Apple's moves (lack of keyboard, locks everywhere, microsims, fixed batteries, and so on) but at the same time are managing to avoid the good ones like the extended OS support, or the focus on a few models instead of producing a plethora of (often pointless) models.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
I have had my phone for a couple months and it is mint.
[Motorola Droid 3] ultima86:
on the non-removable batt, when your phone freezes up and the power button isnt working BECAUSE your phone is froze, which you then need a battery pull, how would one go about restarting the phone?
[Motorola Droid 3] Yonnor:
Most likely will have either a button combo, or a pin-hole reset button. Or atleast thats what i would do if i was a moto engineer

morse coded via my DROID 3
[Motorola Droid 3] 640k:
you used to could alt-shift-del to reboot, but it doesn't work on the D3. even if it did work, there was that .001% chance that you really would need to remove the battery, to which you would obviously need a pin reset.

not sure why they dumped the alt-shift-del reboot. i greatly miss it.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JVH3:
So, on my LG Quantum, I was trying to create a new playlist from my existing mp3 files. When I do this, it creates a playlist with everysong.

So what's the point of creating a playlist if it has everysong?

Also, I am not seeing anyway to adjust the order of a playlist.

When I shuffle, it switches from playing a playlist, to playing all music.

Maybe it's as simple as clearing the music that is considered now playing. But, I am not seeing where that is displayed.

Starting up Music, the first screen says

Zune, with items (music, videos, podcasts, radio, marketplace)

The next screen says Histroy with tiles of songs and playlists.

The only menu options are play music and search marketplace.

The next screen says new with tiles of songs and playlists.

Again, the only menu options are play music and search marketplace.

The next screen says apps.

It lists MSN Money Stocks, and YouTube and YouTube again.

The only menu is search marketplace.

The next option takes me back to zune.

Since I want to create a playlist, I select music.

I can play an album and create a playlist from it.

If I play a song and create a playlist, it puts every song on my device in the playlist.

If like an album, but don't necessarily want all the songs of it in a particular playlists, I see no way to remove a song from a playlist, or create a playlist without the one song.

Anyone know how to create a playlist. Then add just the songs that you want to the list. Then shuffle the playlist. Then later remove and add songs to the playlist.

If there is an app that accomplishes this, I am fine purchasing it. I am just a little shocked that this is not built in or easier to figure out.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JVH3:
After going here: http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/forums/101801-feature-suggestions

And reading all requests for playlist, the feature just is not implemented well.

There is not a good way to create new playlists.

Only thing I can think will sort of work is to create a playlist on your computer with 1 song that you like or just a 1 second or shorter song of just silience.

Sync that your device. Now you can play the playlist. Then add songs to the now playing. then create a new playlist from that.

It's a lame work around and it won't get around the fact that you can't remove a song from a playlist.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] matball:
Hi,

I originally have flashed WP7.5 Mango and Android 2.3.5 SDrom, which worked perfectly. However, after I flashed MIUI rom, can no longer boot into WP7.5.

:confused:

I would like to fallback to dual boot, please does anyone know if I flash the Mango again, do I need to flash the stock WP6.5 rom first?

regards

Mat
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Canterbury:
i've never had too.. i went from sd-android straight to Mango.

I'm back to Android now cause for me the battery life of Mango is terrible..
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] enigma1nz:
Same here. Couldn't be bothered going all the way back to WM6.5, so from Android in NAND just straight flash, then unlock and Gingerbread on SD. Never was into MIUI. Had 2 cards die on me, one within a week, another within 2 weeks, couldn't get the hard reset to work with the new card, so had to reflash. As it is it takes well over an hour-odd, just couldn't face the whole process. No problems or bugs some complained about.

HOWEVER, if you do get WP7.5, you will have to re-do the whole SD install after you are done, e.g. you won't be able to flash Mango while keeping your existing MIUI.

Only scratches are on the back cover and I only get the phone nothing else
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Sennz:
great deal
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cerv3r:
The phone is in perfect but under the battery cover looks like someone sanded it down i'm confused

What do you think?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mcorrie1121:

How can I change the cover under the battery cover
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zenopzz:
I just compared the back of the phone in the picture with mine. The pictured one looks to be made of a cheaper plastic than mine and/or as deeper indents. Anyone else notice this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jbsg02:
A picture with the phone actually ON and WORKING would help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fone_fanatic:
I'd stay away from it, seems shady. The seller possibly could of found it on the floor sans battery, and attempted to sand down rough knicks from it being dropped.

Also there's ribbons for the antenna and other things that go right where it's sanded down and you don't know if that's going to affect the signal or not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
If it's stolen, and was replaced through att insurance, I believe att places a permanent imei block on the phone. If that is the case, the phone will only function unlocked on TMo, sans 3 and "4" G data.

That price definately falls in the too-good-to-be-true category. If they don't want the phone, its been out less than 30 days, why don't they return it. Very fishy.

Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Sennz:
price isnt fishy, i bought an almost new sgs2 for $350 so $300 isnt far fetched

That's the part that sounds fishy to me.

I would walk away.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kytrauma:

Wow, too damage for being a 30 days or less time phone...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BlakDye:
Kinda scary. I would suggest going with the imei idea. If its legit and you don't mind the damage it would be a gamble still.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mcorrie1121:
Hadn't thought of that, although selling at this price could net them almost twice the money.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jayosee:
Im guessing since you found it on Craigslist, it is local for you. So just go, put in your sim card, and use it to call AT&T! Simple.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
Yeah, but if they paid $150 or less, they probably have 2 ETFs if they cancel.

Most people that use their upgrade to sell the phone for a quick Buck, sell it in box, like new, at top dollar, not damaged and sans charger and battery, at a low price.

I got my GS2 $300 from some idiot on Craigslist, which is a steal considering to buy it outright at the AT&T store it would cost $549.99. I just sold my Moto-Atrix for 275 so basically I bought the phone for 25 bucks. I can't believe it.

If you can get it for 300, do it!

i hate ubuntu 11.10.

and ubuntu would be cool on a phone. they would have to cut a deal with a phone company in order to do it, however. and HTC, samsung, LG... etc... they are already running a linux OS with android. it will be a long time before it is mainstream, and it would not have google supporting it (which would obviously have pros and cons) but i would stick with android simply because it is what i am used to at this point. ubuntu is more of a developer platform and it would basically just be bare bones on a phone. no market, hardly any apps, etc... it wouldn't give me the same experience i would want on a phone.

[General Topics] howetechnical:
There's so much fail in this post. OS's are dependent on supported hardware, so you'll never have total freedom on OS choice. Bootloaders are always opened up within a month or two of a device being released, private party or otherwise. And yes, you can "brick" your PC if you are a numbskull and improperly load an OS or wipe critical files, it's just much simpler to recover. Phones lack an external keyboard, cd-rom drives, etc, so loading external recovery media or getting to a recovery point is more difficult.

FYI: One reason why carriers don't like users messing with mobile devices is because the majority are on contract extensions, so basically you pay a lowered subsidized cost on the phone in return for your business. This means that they have a vested financial interest in your mobile device. PC's, you buy outright. You don't go under contract to buy a new PC (except for credit card or financing, but they don't care what you buy, you just need to pay back).

As far as Ubuntu mobile, it's a great idea, but it's a pipe dream for at least the next 5 years. There's just too little support and mainstream use for that, and you have Ubuntu backing it, not "household" names like Google, Apple, Microsoft, etc. PC's is a completely different target market than mobile devices.

more recent ubuntu isn't coded for armv6 but runs on armv7.

I read anything from lucid on up is only for armv7 or better.

my armv6 optimus v does a lovely job of running the full desktop armel debian squeeze (or sid) in a chroot; it just needs hardware drivers to straight-up boot debian instead of running it with android at the same time.

it wouldn't be that hard to release it as a mobile os, except for the proprietary drivers on all the different phones and tablets.

As others have said, not liking new Ubuntu 11.10 "re-styling" - much preferred the 10.10 version an thats waht I downgraded back to (on my laptop).

About Ubuntu for mobile devices, i already had 10.10 running on my HTC Desire Z so, is this really news - it might not be "official" but Ubuntu has been "out there" for a while... I got rid of it because it wasnt quite ready for such small screens (everything was tiny, you could barely read it...)
[General Topics] Div033:
That's just it, this announcement means they're designing a version of Ubuntu specifically for smartphones.

If they did this it would be great, assuming the device drivers were made available even if as "binary blobs" because then it would open up the mobile sphere to all distributions, not just Ubuntu.

It would finally be a real "upstream" contribution from Canonical. Though I wouldn't hold my breath. It's hard to see any of the major device manufacturers getting on board with this. It takes a corporation as big a Google to even get something as vanilla as a Nexus device, and Verizon is still managing to mess with it.
