Thanx a ton buddy!!

Though I can't see the earphone's buds, I am satisfied with the fact that there is one :(:D:D:p:p:p

Thanx..just a side Q, are the earphones small, in-ear or the BIG ones our friends at HTC provide for a torturous music experience...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bob-o:
Please let us know how the battery lasts! Thats my only concern....

[Motorola Droid RAZR] rohanblade:
y the earphonez has rokr written on it, thatz strange:confused::confused::cool:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] circleofomega:
AWESOME MAN! Thanx a ton!! Looks pretty good!! ENjoy!

Thats cause the Rokr is Motorola's brand...as long as 'Sony Ericsson' isnt written, we can go to sleep and have sweet dreams.. :P

I just got my razr this afternoon. One thing i dont understand is my phone has only 8gb internal memory but the hardware specification says it should have 16gb. Can you confirm this for me?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pOOBAH1973:
"fastboot oem unlock" from fastboot mode (power up holding volume down) results in.....?

;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] portelgeist.:
We got application storage and internal storage, each 3,5gb and 8gb

I 'm not sure if the application storage is part of internal of not.

But i think its 16gb, moto use some of it and left us pure 8gb. And 3,5gb for app storage.

Cmiiw
[Motorola Droid RAZR] asheg:
if i'm not wrong sgs2 has about 10-11 gb, the rest for system needs.

8 gb of 16 seems weird...

How's the audio quality through headphones?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] raimondomartire:
Great!

How is signal reception and audio from speakerphone or in conversation?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pOOBAH1973:
The rest might be reserved for webtop app.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nesx87:
no reviews?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] didibabawu:
As a mobile phone, signal reception and phone speaker in conversation is great, at least better than my nexus s. But the most important thing is the battery life is amazing and moto's smart action app is very handy, no need to manually switch betweet wifi and mobile data and turn off certain functions when needed, should be standard for android system!!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] asheg:

tell your feelings about pentile
[Motorola Droid RAZR] daizazz:
DROID RAZR pentile display screen

Firstly i wanna mention, i took the phone back..

don't get me wrong it was a great phone. Fast, simple and sexy slim.

The display is better than most but not to my expectation, pentile was the drawback. In my opinion SGS2 display is better.

You cant see the pixels if all your display icons/wallpaper Etc... are vertical & horizontal ...BUT if u have any stratight lines that are diagonal on screen u can see the pixels :( on either side of that line. Its as clear as day.Unlike the SGS2.

So...nexus you've won my heart. ( i know i know, its also pentile...I'm just hoping the resolution density will save it...and its a Nexus what more to say there)

If I've helped in anyway, please hit thanks :D (it'll only take a sec)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] shady_lanem:
So you're one of the earliest to get this phone and return it? Lol..

Just try not to drop or spill water on your Nexus :p
[Motorola Droid RAZR] asheg:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] daizazz:
Droid RAZR & pentile display

I'm sorry for ruining the fun of getting a new phone, i was so disappointed!

my BF has the SGS2 and i really wanted to one up him with the RAZR's display .... i compared the two side by side and the results were heart breaking.:mad:

The other thing i need to point out is the default wallpaper selected by Motorola had diagonal lines everywhere! It was like they wanted us to see the flaw.:confused:

>> If i was any help please hit thanks (it will only take a sec :D)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] el_dc5:
Can you return the phone even after you used it ?????

I got mine on contract and its due Monday today. And if I don't like it and its not damaged can I still return it ????
[Motorola Droid RAZR] da_hool:
I saw a video preview some where (sorry I couldn't find it again) that showed that the 16gb is split into 2x 8gb partitions. 1 was labeled internal storage and the other was labelled as storage for Motocast. The person in the video went on to say you can use the 2 storage partitions for whatever you like of course. I'd rather have a full 16gb in 1 partion though.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Semseddin:
Gonna put the RAZR and SGS2 side by side when i get mine and make an honest comment about both screens. Must add that SGS2's pathetic resolutioned screen is just lame that everybody loves to lie about.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Fif23:
Yea, the SGS II has the worst screen I have ever seen...

Not only the low resolution, the colors are an insult to any human's eyes... There's no freaking WHITE in that phone, and the picture has an ugly green tint to it...

I wouldn't view porn on it to be honest...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] shady_lanem:
Here's a sample screen comparison S2 vs Razr

[Motorola Droid RAZR] suzook:
I thought the razr was coming with super amoled?? Wtf??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] voxigenboy:
well,spec-wise, the RAZR is in 3rd place.. (Rezound #1, Galaxy Nexus #2, RAZR #3)

however, the RAZR does have it's kevlar coating & stylish, durable design.. so...

eye-candy wise RAZR is #1 not to mention it has the best chance at surviving physical damage & water damage out of the 3.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] zetsumeikuro:
Well considering the display on the SGS2 is smaller and not to mention the resolution is what 8xx by 4xx? I really wouldn't say it's a flaw or anything, just the companies way of cutting costs and battery savings (lol!). TBH it doesn't bother me one bit because it's a phone. If I want breath taking imagery I go home and play on my 2 30inch monitors 8).

Edit: To the post above me #43 clock speed isn't everything.

Check this...I think I am slowly starting to get disappointed...WTF is this supposed to mean...such a good phone with a bad screen?

Also, for all those who think SGS II has a good screen, sorry to burst your bubble, its the most horrible screen I have ever screen. The damn thing cant even get a simple colour like white also right...it has a very bad dark green tone...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Semseddin:
I think you shouldn't believe in everything that you read. Check other reviews and see their positive feedback about the phone & its display. Not to mention that some sites are supported by other brands to spread false advertisements against their competitors' devices. Do you see any bad screen below that youclearly see in that VERGE or WTF site ?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] circleofomega:
No I don't see it. Don't get me wrong, I love the Droid Razr and will get one in a while when the prices drop a little, but my question remains, what is this fuss about Pentile screens. And do you think SGS 2 screen is good. I have one right now and I can clearly compare it to my HD7 for the whites. The HD7 wins hands down...also, how different is the SGS 2 screen different (better?) than the Razr's?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] daizazz:
Droid Razr PenTile

After dropping my LGO2X 1 week ago, I've picked up my original HTC desire and am happily using it compared to the RAZR. But that's just my opinion.

DROID RAZR's design is beautiful, its unique, I really like it. The 'kevlar' material feels nice&claims of its sturdiness is a plus. the weight is great & for me the size is a perfect.

The PenTile display - i CAN'T handle it. Drove me up the wall. It was all i could see and think abt.

all the plus's couldnt out weigh the PenTile madness.

But dont get me wrong, If it wasn't for the jagged lines & pixel it woulld look great, because the colours were vibrant. If you can look past the PenTile-ness then it would be a good new phone.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] D.O.C:
Ok, Stop the flaming and attacks right here, dont want this to scalate.

There is no need to call people names or to do personal attacks, you just have to report a messagge and I will decide what to do here, dont get yourself in trouble.

Consider this a Warning.

The next person who continues this "discussion" will receive an infraction. Please let this one go.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] daizazz:
Hi CircleofMega,

My BF has the SG2S and i have to say i agree with you the whites aren't white white, it seems to have hint of blue ( some others say green,but i see blue).

But besides the point, i think the RAZR's colours were superior.

i think that the SGS2 had better lines, as they seemed sharper without jagged edges. Which is especially noticeable on the RAZR's fonts.

What i am trying to say is.. the RAZRs display was nicer than the SG2S, except for the pixels/jagged edges when lines are diagonal.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] zetsumeikuro:
Screen looks great on that picture!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] circleofomega:
Thanx Daizazz, Yea I can see a green tint on the SGS 2, anyways....

i know what you are saying about the jagged edges...seen it myself on some reviews and forums...now this has really put me in quandary...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fflan513:
I went to Verizon and explored the phone hands on and it is awesome. The display is beautiful; I just sold my Bionic a few days ago to pre-order the RAZR. The Bionic is a great phone but the display on the RAZR is much, much better, the colors are rich and vibrant, very clear with no noticeable pentile stuff like the Bionic.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] circleofomega:
also, does it have the greenish (bluish for some) tint like the SGS2? Cause I hate it...I am also planning to get my hands on it first and then take a decision...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] zetsumeikuro:
Then you'll also hate the Nexus cause it's confirmed to have a bluish tint. I get my RAZR tomorrow in the mail! Gonna see the screen and I'll post back here.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Chirality:
I wouldn't say that the Rezound is #1. GPU wise, the Adreno 220 probably beats the SGX540@300MHz in the RAZR, but it's unknown if it'll beat the SGX540@384MHz in the Galaxy Nexus. CPU wise, both the RAZR and the Galaxy Nexus beat the Rezound. The Scorpion processors are slower than Cortex-A9s even at a higher clock speed.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] F-Forward:
So you have the Desire with SLCD and not AMOLED?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blkrabb1t:
What a disappointment!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] doaneramma:
Here is what I have seen on my XT910.

jagged edges? Check. But expected and meh! It'll do till next years perfected 720 (1080?) displays.

But I have also noticed that its slightly yellow, but when tilted it goes slightly blue. very odd. I'm going to try one side by side with another (I work at Rogers).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] akhnatenor:
One thing that seems to get ignored in the forums, and is not easily quoted in specs, is the quality of the antenna and radio (not fm radio) design. Both the HTC Droid Incredibles that I have get piss-poor reception and call audio quality compared to Motorola phones I used in the exact same location. I have heard that Samsung is known for not having great call quality too. Can anyone comfirm/deny the Samsung call quality compared to Motorola?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] omnia1994:
i got the xoom today n have had a few calls.. the call quality is nice
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oaklands:
+1.......want to know
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jms_uk:
Good point sir.. moto tend to have a good reputation in this area, and it is.. y'know.. kinda important to make phone calls with a phone.. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Semseddin:
Nice point. Motorola is known as an engineering company specialized in wireless telecommunications whilst some other brands like samsung, lg are known for their mass production in every electronics. They at the same time produce microwave ovens,refrigirators and such with cellphones. The reception quality of htc handsets were always bad, like their call quality and speakers for music. It's about their antenna design where they stick a thin layer of copper backplate. :D

Motorola, Ericsson and Nokia are the big boys when it comes to signal strength and such.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] akhnatenor:
I was watching the Rezound unboxing on Droid Life and saw the wireless charging back on it. I immediately thought there are going to be some serious reception issues with it, having all that metal in the back covering up and interfering with the radio's antenna.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garywojdan81:
That metal IS part of the antenna according to what's in the Rezound thread.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garywojdan81:
I can confirm that moto has better call quality/reception than Samsung. I went from the fascinate to the DROIDX2. There's no comparison.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] akhnatenor:
Thanks for the feedback.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oaklands:
The cell reception is most important to me first and foremost. Some of the areas I go to are not known for the best in coverage. My moto phones have always gotten the best reception. This will be the number 1 deciding point on what phone I go with. I love rooting and playing around with my phones and tablet, but it must make since for my business first.
[Galaxy 3 General] fuxmen:
I'm fancing strange problem. I can call out to anybody and we can talk, but when someone call to me there is one signal and then message from network like: person U want reach is temporary unavinable...

So noone can call me

Is there any option in android to automaticaly reject calls? I wasn't changing anything in settings or soo, it stops working suddenly ;/

How to get a Transparent status bar!

ok ok there are still a few problems to work out but maybe some people smarter than I will know the answers. :)

Here's what you should know before we begin... MAKE A BACKUP FIRST

at the moment ..

1. this does not work with the stock touchwiz launcher (may be a simple fix havn't looked into it yet.)(well works everywhere but the desktop)

works quite well with ZEAM and not too shabby with GO EX (if you use multipicture live wallpaper from the market)

havent looked into any others.

2. the status bar is still clear on the lockscreen (may annoy some)

fixible with multipicture wallpaper just set use lockscreen settings and then lock screen settings and set a black picture.

probably not perfect but it's a start.

thanks to KBanause for providing the info needed at this link http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9978779&postcount=62

This tut also assumes you have some basic computer skills and can navigate from a command prompt. and that your computer has java installed. (most do you just need the runtime enviroment if you don't have it get it here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre-7u1-download-513652.html)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjcollum:
OK if you still want to try this

START HERE

MAKE A BACKUP FIRST

download

clearstatustry.zip (attached above)

unzip this file to a folder (7zip or winrar ect whatever)

you should have 4 files here

baksmali-1.2.8.jar

smali-1.2.8.jar

statusbar_background.9 - 25.png 25% transparency

statusbar_background.9 - 50.png 50%transparency

still here . wow ok you must really want to see this.

pick one of the statusbar_background files and rename it statusbar_background.9.png

now you need the SystemUI.apk from your phone it's in /system/app

grab it with a file browser that has root access and copy it into the folder with that other crap.

next Open SystemUI.apk with your zip tool, do not extract, just open.

navigate to the res/drawable-hdpi/ folder and copy your statusbar_background.9.png over the existing one.

now go back to the root of the SystemUI.apk and Drag classes.dex out to your folder.

open a command prompt and navigate to your folder with these files.

or just shift + right click in the folder you extracted the files to and select open command prompt here.

run this command

java -jar baksmali-1.2.8.jar -o classout/ classes.dex

now go back to your folder

and navigate to classout\com\android\systemui\statusbar

open StatusBarService.smali in a txt editor

find the line

invoke-direct/range {v0 .. v5}, Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;-><init>(IIIII)V

above that change const/4 v5, 0x2 to const/4 v5, -0x3

save and close

Go back to your CMD prompt and enter this command

java -jar smali-1.2.8.jar classout -o classes.dex

ALMOST THERE I PROMISE

now copy the classes.dex back into the root of the SystemUI.apk file and close

MAKE A BACKUP FIRST

now just copy that systemui.apk back into the /system/app folder on your phone

dont mind the force close and reboot.

MAKE A BACKUP FIRST

if it doesn't seem to work try a live wallpaper

or use Multipicture live wallpaper from the market to set a static image.

this will probably mess up your phone but hey sorry MAKE A BACKUP FIRST
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] naerok:
For those that are unfamiliar with command line and get file not found errors, instead of typing everything try this

java -jar [b](drag baksmali-1.2.8.jar file here)[/b] -o classout/ [b](drag the classes.dex file here)[/b]

This will fill out the path to your files for you if they aren't in the root directory.

Same concept here

java -jar [b](drag smali-1.2.8.jar file here)[/b] [b](drag classout folder here)[/b] -o classes.dex

Either way, thanks for the guide. I'm sure a lot of people will find it useful :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjcollum:
Good call I didn't even think to let people know about that.

also another heads up for anyone that doesn't know you can shift + right click in the folder and choose open command window here that way you don't have to navigate to the directory.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VegasEvo4G:
Wow- I can't believe this thread got buried with only a few posts.

I have followed these outstanding instructions word for word with no issues at all, however my status bar is still blacker than black! After completing this, I went back and pulled my SystemUI.apk again, decompiled it, and checked to make sure the smali edit and the .9 were still there which of course, they are. Is there an xml color code that needs to be changed as well?? I tested this with both Go launcher and ADW and no luck. Help!?!?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] latinmaxima:
I would think that maybe using the transparent lock screen and this we could figure it out. I would love to have that option!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
I really wish we could get this working. its the Last visual hack I want to do on my SII that I can't do. Everything else is perfect just really hate that black bar. I can hide it but then I can't see my info either. Grrrrr
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VegasEvo4G:
In addition to the smali edit and the statusbar_background.9, I found an XML difference between a miui clear status bar systemUI and all of ours (as in any ET4G systemUI. I'm getting ready to mod it and push it. I'll let you know if it works!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ssconceptz:
I tried this step by step with no luck. To make it white could you just change -0v3 to -0v1 or make the statusbar image white?

Is this possible with apk manager using notepad++ to edit the smali file and recompiling?

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
is there an easy way for me to "change" the image to another opaque image ie an actual image not a "color"

I could just crop X pixels from the top of my image and MAKE THAT the background for the status bar if that is possible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ssconceptz:
Ok I think I figured it out and I don't even think you have to edit the smali but I could be wrong. You have to edit the layout/statusbar xml file and at the top you see ff000000 which is black and change that to the desired color or make it transparent. I just made mine white but combined with the smali edits shown here but stock statusbar image.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fnut6969:
There is, to do that make sure you have the newest version of Android SDK, Java, and ADB

Download APK Multitool here - http://apkmultitool.com/?q=node/5

Extract it then extract the apps you are going to mod, in your case framework-res and SystemUI.

Put the SystemUI.apk in the modding folder and run the script to decompile SystemUI with the framework-res as a dependency (option 10). Before proceeding, but after decompiling check the log file to ensure everything decompiled without error, otherwise it won’t recompile. Errors are usually due to improperly patched .9.png’s, and while they can be very confusing, you can just swap bad ones out with those from a stock ROM until after you’ve made your edits.

Once you have decompiled without any errors open your project folder (inside whatever you named your APK Multitool folder and navigate to;

res/layouts/statusbar.xml:

On the second line find <com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView android:orientation="vertical" android:background="#ff000000" android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"

change it to

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView android:orientation="vertical" android:background="@drawable/statusbar_background" android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"

Do the same on the second to last line which is the date view. It will have the color code (#ff000000) change it to "@drawable/statusbar_background"

Follow the prompts to recompile and use the new apk created in the mod folder called unsignedSystemUI.apk. In the drawable-hdpi folder you’ll find a png named statusbar_background.9.png, which is what will now be displayed as the status bar instead of the color code. You can make it any color you’d like. Ideally, you should ensure that the .9 is properly patched, but if you swap it out after recompiling it somehow doesn’t seem to matter much.

Good luck.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
I just don't feel comfortable going to those lengths just yet.

Guess I will have to wait (hope) for a simpler solution

I tried the metamorph one but it does not work (bad file)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
You only have to edit calls to the image in system UI status bar XML as someone above said. No smali edits required. Currently it calls a color code. You want it to call an image. Alternately, you could simply use a color code with transparency as well and skip editing an image all together. =P
