[Motorola Droid X2] h_10:
happily the x2 is my last moto phone.
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
HTC doesn't look like they are going to be as user friendly for much longer. There is no permanent root for the Rezound yet.
[Motorola Droid X2] iCurmudgeon:
you and me both. This has gotten ridiculous.
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
Same here. Looks like my next phone will be the Samsung nexus prime. Unlocked and not Motorola!
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
I tried zr for 235 and it kept failing w/ win7 so I sbf'ed to 234 and used voodoo rootkeeper and it worked to keep root on the latest (1.3.413).
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
I installed roots keeper after reading another post. How do you restore your root with the app if you loose it? The app does not really say how to regain your root.
[Motorola Droid X2] Staggo:
I'd jump ship too, but I'm already 6 months into the contract. I'd rather not spend the full price on a device. I'm sure some good brand new open device will be available in a year from now. Maybe the next nexus?
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
There is already a huge bug with the nexus that ****s with the volume. Apparently the shielding on the inside is bad. My Rezound is a solid phone, and after comparing it with a Galaxy Nexus, the Rezound is absolutely the better phone. I don't give a **** about NFC.
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
How's that whining noise in audio treating you? Sounds annoying from what I've been reading?
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I hope u know that Verizon has locked down the bootloader on nexus.

hopefully it doesn't stay that way too long.

sorry
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
I don't have the issue. Not everyone is having it. Most people with that issue are having other issues like overheating.
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
And Ash is correct, follow some of the devs who have the phone.
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
Ah that i did not know. Damn Verizon!
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
Travisdroid.....just run vdrootkeeper again it must keep the needed data on your sdcard I think.
[Motorola Droid X2] T3HBR1AN:
What?! Now I'm irritated.

Sent from my Eclipsed and ICS themed X2.
[Motorola Droid X2] Watercycle:
darn.... when I was in that verizon store the incredible 2 (which is HTC I believe? :p) kept calling me out... but I ignored it... for what, a darn 0.3" bigger screen and owning an android that is a step away from being called an apple product with their ugly ass motoblur and efforts to block any community creativity

atleast in 2 years phones like RazR and iphone 4gs will be free or $50 and phones twice as good as the current for like $100 lol
[Motorola Droid X2] dragonzkiller:
zergRush will root the new updates from what I understand. 2.3.5 patched the path that we used to use to root the older GBs. zergRush works just like GingerBreak and just causes the system to freak out allowing a root. So basically it should still work. No need to worry. (at least I hope not :/ )
[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
Sweet! Glad they didn't patch all! Don't know why they keep trying to make it unrootable when they skip roots that were there before they updated :)
[Motorola Droid X2] dragonzkiller:
zergRush uses an exploit within android. in fact, i know that zergRush works on 2.3.4 also. not sure about 2.3.3 yet, but I've used it on .4 and it works just as well. and doesn't really mess with any permission stuff like the root tools do.
[Motorola Droid X2] Staggo:
Nope. It's just command line locked. Just like the Xoom, Nexus S and Nexus 1. do not panic.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
apologize for misinformation on my.part. thanks staggo.

but do u have a source/ reference to confirm this? I would just like to read about it myself as well ;)

thanks.
[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
Ah ha, nice! Didn't know that. :)
[Motorola Droid X2] Xyzodiac:
Thanks Moto, my buisness will be going to Samsung when the time for a new phone arrives.
[Motorola Droid X2] Staggo:
Just asked several people who have the Verizon version in testing. P3 and the like. No boot encryption present according to them.
[Motorola Droid X2] zakth:
One can only hope that once Google takes on Motorola Mobility that they will clean house of their devs and hire some of their own.
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
All, just a fyi last night i used the free app voodoo roots keeper. I then flashed the new 2.3.5 and re ran roots keeper and I was fully rooted in 2.3.5 very easy! Hope this helps others. Now just kick back be patient and wait for the new custom rom's :)
[Motorola Droid X2] dkahs23:
Excellent News !!
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
they have already pretty much said they will.let moto be/do moto ...T-Mobile think they mainly got them for their patent portfolio
[Motorola Droid X2] ImgBurn:
Yea ash,

I was very happy back in August when I first heard Google Buys Motorola Mobility. Looked like this phone was going to really get some lov.:D But unfortunately looks like Google's dropping the ball and it's business as usual for Moto.:mad:

According to Motorola Mobility’s website, the company holds approximately 14,600 granted patents and 6,700 pending patent applications, worldwide, as of January 2011.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
yeah im not saying google will have absolutely no input and I remain slightly hopeful but either way its a good thing considering now google will have a nice portfolio to defend themselves with against the ridiculous cases that get brought against them. which in turn will lead to better days for us.
[Motorola Droid X2] hilltopper06:
A little googling led me to the site linked below. I was able to root my milestone x2 (droid x2 for Bluegrass Cellular running 2.3.5) with it where I couldn't with anything else (including linked versions of ZergRush). Something about this one is different, but it worked for me.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] h9290:
Something weird happened to me, i was going through the home screens and notices that there was a missing shortcut for videos.apk

i go through the launcher looking for it and it wasn't there !! i was pretty sure i had it and i even used it. it was a red icon with 2 tabs when you start it, for movies rented from the market and the local ones on the phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
It might have failed updating for some reason and uninstalled. Try finding it in the market.

One weird thing I see is that Google+ shows up as one of my not installed apps in the "my apps" list. It comes pre-installed and seems to work, so I'm not sure what that other one is and how it differs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] h9290:
Yeah I've checked the Market, it shows it as installed. but when you go inside you can't find the option to open or uninstall. but it's not there
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrvirginia:
quite a few apps do. it's because those apps you see "not installed" are the older versions of the ones that are installed that were updated on the phone to work with ICS.

My girl would love that. Maybe that will be enough for her to give up her pos sk4g.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chib1panda:
Ah you beat me to it. I dk. It looks really bright. I feel that I would scratch it. I had the white amaze and was ocd about cleaning it because lint and dust would be easily noticeable on the white finish.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] phewizzo:
Haha ya its feminine but its sexy as hell and something different and the chrome goes perfect with it. ALSO i wonder if the white would turn yellowish like some of the iphones because of the heat...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tiguy99:
Sad part is as much as I want white, I don't know if I'd be willing to go through a few more units to find one with a good screen..

Maybe someone will offer the white color kits like they did with the iphone 4 a year ago.

In that case, I'd be down to have a white Galaxy S2. I think it looks hot especially with the right case!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] babymatteo:
Wow. Just today i was considering buying a white i9100 on Craigslist for $400. Good thing i decided to check out the forums first. I'm definitely going to get this one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] phewizzo:
Oh kits would be amazing... colorware pc is to damn expensive.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darmokk:
Whites not that hard to keep clean, and it looks freaking nice! Damn I wish I didn't already have my black GSII lol oh well
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chib1panda:
They have white cases, so saves me money if I really want one. Other than color, it's the same phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tiguy99:
When you say white case, do you mean like a phone case to protect the phone itself or are you saying that the white kits are available now?

If they are, that's what I want for Christmas lol

---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ----------

LOL Tell me about it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chib1panda:
Idk about a kit. I meant just a case to protect the phone. I've seen done white gel and the hard ones.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] minotauri:
i also dig the white t989... i really liked the white i9100 too but sort of regret getting the black t989 now. i have the white D30 case though, and it looks great.

i wonder if they'll sell white housings on ebay. those used to be so easy to find back in the day (think Nokia and Sony Ericsson pre-smart phones)... but now they're a rare commodity.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cashyftw:
Ugh! I'm going to try to trade out my black one for a white one!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chib1panda:
You mean go to the store and trade it out or trade with someone on craigslist? Let us know how that goes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tiguy99:
If they sell the white kits, I'd be willing to do the conversion. I was one of the first to convert my iphone 4 to white a year ago.

I got stopped everywhere I went bc folks wanted to know where I got the white iphone lol

I must have got a good batch of parts to work with because even when I sold it no one knew it was customized.

I'd be willing to go down this road again vs. going through the trouble of selling my phone with a good screen and praying I find another one like it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] madhad:
Do yall think the white SGS2 will have the screen issues?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kawaisa:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Krooked22:
Seeing as how the the front panel (LCD and glass) is one piece, if you do a conversion you will have to swap your screen anyway
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
wow!, looks sweet! :D

better than i though it would
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tiguy99:
I wonder if the chrome will be a differet color than ours. If not it shouldn't be too difficult.

I hope the OLED and digitizer panel are fused together like the iphone 4. That way there's no chance of contracting dust on the screen during the converstion process.

I'm getting VERY excited!

So far, it looks as if we would need:

- the OLED assembly

- the white plastic battery cover

- the silver/white camera metal cover

- white headphone jack

- white charger port

- white earphone jack cover (**unless its part of the gorilla glass assembly**) <= that would be a plus!

I wonder if the internals are all ribbons and clasps or if there's some soldering involved. Either way....Sign me up! I'm ready to start my conversion ASAP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] talltexan:
When i had the vibrant i got a sticker from ebay that i put over the front that was white and i sanded down and spray painted the extra back with. It looked pretty slick i wonder if we can get anything like this. Heres the string (i didnt start it)

lots of problems with that phone

- Ghost Volume issue http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1353590

- same screen coloration, lines, botches like our phone

- sleep of death http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1360880

- colour banding

- no Mass storage mode (USB mount for drag & drop files)

- no SD card

- 5 MP camera bugs

- screen mini lag when switching between things

- speaker hissing noise

- face to unlock security problem, easily faked (just don't use this feature problem solved :p )

- software buttons bugs

- and some more mostly minor features people are accustomed to from previous phones, not available in stock ICS

... ahh well typical of any new phone release :rolleyes: the first batch is always Bug ridden :p

there has been a recall on some stores, and also some are not shipping out anymore because of those problems
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Reviewers:

I guess I just don't get the appeal of white, and this just seems like a marketing ploy to me. Lol I remember when you could only get iPods in white, and then Apple came out with black iPods & they sold out so fast that you practically had to get on a waiting list to buy one. Then Apple 'introduced' the white iphone, as if its something special & new. I don't see this as any different, and frankly a constant white border around my screen would drive me nuts. But whatevs, to each their own :)

That said, if they came out with this in purple... hoo boy. I'd be squealing like a pig.

I'll buy your black SGS2 for T-Mobile if anyone wants to upgrade to the white one when it comes out. I'd prefer the white one but I'll settle for a black one if it's in good condition and I can get it cheaper than a new white one.
