^A lot of those seem kind of silly to me.

I don't see what's wrong with the button placement. There's only 3 buttons and they're in rather typical locations.

The battery cover was difficult the first few times, but it's not that bad. It seems weird that it's something that would contribute to you loathing the phone.

Sharp edges hurt your face? I honestly think that's a personal problem. The edges aren't really sharp at all. If they do hurt your face, then I understand why that's a problem for you, but it's hardly an inherent problem for the phone.

I just tried the creaking thing... I've tried squeezing it from pretty much every angle and there's not really a creaking at all. It takes quite a bit of force to make it make a sound, and even then it's VERY slight. I'm inclined to believe something is wrong with your phone if the creaking is enough to complain about. My Atrix was terrible in that regard... the back cover was not very secure and it took almost no effort to make a noticeable sound.

Isn't the sdcard sdcard-ext fairly normal? The 3 phones I've had did that and I never noticed any problems with apps. I'm legitimately curious about that one.

I can see some of the other complaints. I was worried about the size, but I personally like it. I know some wont. The slowness is my only complaint of the camera. I can see why people would have issues with that. The screen seems fine to me, but I know there are huge differences in opinions for screens. The connection loss definitely seems like a pain in the ass, though I've been fortunate. I don't hear the headphone whine when music is actually playing... I hear it before and on extremely quiet parts. Aside from that, I assume it's there and that bugs me. I never use the front camera, so it is useless to me.

That definitely doesn't apply to every phone. The Atrix had a fairly common problem with the microphone which I experienced with mine. I regularly had complaints of clarity. People often said it sounded like I was in a tunnel or that the microphone was being covered. Some people had luck fixing it by changing the background filter, but nothing worked out for me. The fact that my mom doesn't mention the sound quality EVERY SINGLE TIME I call her makes the switch to the Bionic worth it lol...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] GoBears:
To sum this up I say no phone is perfect nor will one phone please everyone. The Razr really didnt seem like an upgrade to me so that's a no go. I'm giving Moto the benefit of the doubt until the OTA. If the OTA doesnt fix the problems I have, I'm think I'm going to sell it and grab the Nexus. Please Moto... Don't make me buy a Samsung....Please
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Hashcode:
FYI, the RAZR has the TI 4460 which runs at 1.2Ghz (it's not overclocked).

Not weighing in one way or the other, just clarifying.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] stevessvt:
I'd like to see the link you got that from, because everything I have read on it says it's a 4430.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] CC Lemon:
Wikipedia shows it is the 4430 as well. I thought it was the 4430 and that's what everything a quick search shows.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nosympathy:
Lies...has the same processor as the bionic, just clocked in at 1.2 instead of 1.0
[Motorola Droid Bionic] leo5111:
WRONG this site is usualy reliable read processor info http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Motorola-DROID-RAZR_id6026 :p
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dellenrules:
You do know that the link proves nosympathy is right... right?

The 4430 chip is what both the bionic and the razr are using.

Many people thought it was the 4460 because some idiot posted that on fact sheet on the Motorola site.

People started asking questions stating "how could you have this chip if the Galaxy nexus is to be the first phone released with it."

Seeing their blunder, it was corrected within a day, then it was stated by Motorola on the forums that it was in fact a 4430 clocked at 1.2Ghz and not a 4460 which is natively clocked at 1.5 Ghz and houses a higher frequency powerVR gpu.

The Motorola specs and official fact sheet, as well as the tear down of the Razr all prove to that the chip is in fact a 4430 and not a 4460 like most people would hope.

FYI... Your link even has it listed as 4430. The same chip in the bionic.

I'm sorry but The razor is FUGLY as hell. Checked it out at vzw yesterday for a minute. Did noT like anything about it. Look, feel or performance. I'm so glad i got the bionic.

I would... screen has a bit to much accented color seems kinda off. But i like to review my photos and that helped a ton on the samsung i had with almost the same screen.

Anyone happen to test it out let me know how the batteries actually compare.

Not all manufacturers lock the bootloader. The LG Revolution doesn't have a bootloader. Having a locked bootloader isn't as big of deal as people seem to think. If you don't agree, go get the LG Revolution. We have smart people developing and will get around a locked bootloader.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nrage23:
I went into a Verizon store on Monday. I played with the RAZR and the Rezound. I bought the Rezound and sold my Bionic. I know lots of people like Motorola phones but I will be sticking with HTC. The Rezound is amazing.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eraursls1984:
After owning the Thunderbolt I'll be staying away from HTC, which sucks because I stay away from Samsung and LG phones as well due to poor reception (I've had several of each in the past) Motorola and Blackberry seem to be the only manufactures that have good build quality, call quality, and reception.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] coldhardtruth:
+1 cept i Traded my bionic in for a rezound at best buy! Sooooo dope!!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] alodar1:
I really dont understand your crushed statement. I don't think the bionic has gone anywhere. I have been in the verizon store twice since razr launch. Each time I have seen more Bionics leave the store than the razr. I have also seen more iphones leave the store than bionic/razr combined. whats that mean? I still don't like the iphone....so it mean little. If I wanted the iphone, I'd get it. I know alot of people simply can't afford to run out and buy any phone they want. Well...thats the nature of the beast. You do your research, you check it out, you make a choice. If you continue to consider "If only", you will never be happy. I went through 3 different brands of phone before settling on the bionic. This is my 3rd Bionic....though only 1 of the 3 was bad. And when I say bad...I mean it reboot 3 times in an hour....once. in 7 days thats the only problem I had with it. But it was back at the store immediately.

We all do what we do. When it doesn't work the way we wanted, why try to blame someone else. Motorola and Verizon release phones. Sometimes quickly, sometimes not so quickly. Its what they do. Rumors of the razr showed up in August, if not before. If people doubted, then they should have returned it. The difference between the Bionic and Razr are not that great. Saying one or the other is so much better is a stretch...unless thats the one you really want.

You'll drive yourself nuts this way. Bite the bullet and pay full price for a replacement, or Bite the Bullet and wait 2 yrs. Either way, its a choice....one that you alone have to make.

Sorry it was nuswan , not emanon. Tried emanon and it only hung up once, turned mobile internet off, turned phone off, on again, and it's working since then.So emanon for me it is.Strange thing is that with the others roms it didn't work after completing these steps.So anyone has an ideea on how to fix this?

P.S. Those are ALL great roms, love them all.Sadly mobile internet is a thing i cannot live without.

Thanks for your time:)

I was trying to Hboot different table and some radio and I accidently brick my phone.

When I try to turn it on it just vibrates for a second and nothing shows up just blank black screen. Help ME Please !

I have managed to show the info in the fastboot commander. I can flash radio h-boot spl and recovery here. I can shut down phone from this software and it shows charging light as well.

But still blank on boot. Can any body help me to make it usable
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] con247:
Sorry to say, but I think you bricked it. You can't flash GSM radios and partition tables to the CDMA Desire.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shabihbhai:
Is there any way that I can unbrick it ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zummer22:
Hmm... i dont know when its CDMA.but i think this may fix it. Okay you need to download fastboot commander from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1193915

then you need to download official htc desire RUU it may work for CDMA too (i think) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1193915 download the "HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade"

Allright now you got the downloads. You also need Java and the HTC driver if you dont got that. Pull battery out of your phone and set it back again. Connect your phone to your pc (dont turn it on you shold just hear that sound when windows found your device) open fastboot commander program on your pc and go to the tab "boot, sys and userdata" mark all the stuff you can and press remove or something like that

Your phone is only a black screen when you turn it on, dont worry. Open the RUU program now and follow the instructions to revert to android 2.3. I hope that helpe if not let me know what didnt worked and i may help you a little more.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Not if its really bricked, such as a radio brick, which you more than likely have.

You can try flashign a CDMA RUU like suggested above, but keep your fingers crossed.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
I'm pretty sure even flashing a different SPL from alpharev would've done a great job of bricking it...

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shabihbhai:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Like we said earlier, you can try. We can't tell you if it will work o not as your phone may be bricked. However, it should give you failure codes, which may give us more information.

Theres no harm in trying. It probably is bricked anyway.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Good thing about Alpharev hboot is that they lock it so that one doesnt accidentally flash a wrong hboot.. See if you can get into hboot mode (Vol- Power)...If it's still black, use the PB99IMG.zip method of flashing RUUs.. I wont elaborate. They are a dozen threads on it do/

Don't flash an ruu now.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jclare85:
I'm not sure how to fix your problem but I don't believe it's bricked. It is sooo hard to brick these things. I have thought a million times that mine was bricked, just be patient search forums (not just xda) and read a lot. That's the beautiful thing about the internet. You are bound to find many people that have gone through what you are and have fixed it. I will look a little for you but i'm not on that much so I don't know how much help that can be. If your search doesn't provide useful information try changing your keywords. I'll post again later tonight with what I have found if you haven't figured it out already. Good luck.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavymetalmage:
Download this file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11098768/PB99IMG.zip and put it in the root of your sdcard. Boot the phone into the bootloader. You will have to blindly flash this file but if you boot into the bootloader, then you should press power once to go to bootloader, then wait about 5 minutes to make sure the bootloader finds the PB99IMG.zip file and loads it up properly. Then press Vol up to flash it. You should wait 15 minutes just to be sure that it flashes it and then press power (or possibly vol up) to reboot. That should hopefully fix it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
+1

But it's an exciting scenario. ;)

If you have warranty, just take it back and plead ignorance.

What I'd like to know is what happens on the hboot menu.

But take note of one thing-it may come as controversial, but- Do not try to go s on now. Yes I know I told you about the unrooting process but that was in answer to a specific query.

Your best bet is to remain s off while trying. Once you're s on, you have no chance (unless the ruu goes correctly and flashes everything)

I'd suggest:

Go to the hboot menu. I know it shows nothing on screen, but it might still go the screen in 99% time. Once there, try flashing the correct radio,

fastboot flash radio radio.img

Then

fastboot flash boot boot.img, system.img etc

Let's see what happens. Don't ask what is hboot, fastboot etc though. You're supposed to search and find out

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
No! Don't do this. If it fails, there goes the last chance of fixing a radio brick..you can flash each file from this zip (except the hboot file) individually from hboot menu. Then flash the stock hboot from alpharev site, again with hboot menu

Power off first

Vol - and then power button without releasing vol -

At that point, if you're able to connect cable and issue fastboot commands, you may be in luck

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavymetalmage:
It is not a radio brick. The issue is that he flashed a GSM HBOOT when he has a CDMA phone. That is why he has no screen. You cannot flash an HBOOT via fastboot. At the very least, this will give him a working ROM. He can then you Revolutionary to hopefully fix the HBOOT.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
are you sure?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavymetalmage:
Don't do this. The issue is in the HBOOT. This is a CDMA phone, not a GSM phone.

Put the PB99IMG.zip in the root of your sdcard. Pull the battery and then put it back in. Hold down Vol Down while powering on. Then follow the instructions I previously posted.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
At the least he gets a working phone. At worst he gets fully bricked. There is no need to flash an ruu to fix the issue of a wrong hboot flash. He can flash the correct alpharev hboot meant for cdma

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavymetalmage:
You can't flash an HBOOT by fastboot. You have to either use the PB99IMG.zip or use a utility. I am not certain if Alpharev/Revolutionary will flash a patch HBOOT or if it just turns on the HBOOT S-OFF flag.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Stop contradicting everything we say. We know its a CDMA phone, the title of the thread says so. we also know damn well what we are talking about, where as you seemed to miss some of the crucial facts of this issue.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Doesnt Alpharev/Revolutionary provide an Hboot which is S-off? They do for GSM.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I'm not sure since revolutionary, but the S-off on CDMA desires whilst on 2.2 was not actually repalcing the hboot like GSM. UnrEVOked forever did something different. In fact, even reflashing the hboot I don't think changed it's S-off status.

But the issue here is he has flashed Hboot and radio for GSM desires on CDMA. Flashing these on the correct phone (GSM) if done incorrectly will cause a brick. A corrupt spl or radio, flashed will brick a GSM. As far as a CDMA is concerned, as its for another version, teh device also see's this as corrupt and has probably bricked it.

I doub't we'll fix it but if we can just get the OP to follow some of our instructions...
