[Motorola Droid Bionic] KidJoe:
First.. I own both... TB and BIONIC..

I am currently using my TB as my Bionic isn't holding a data connection.

While the TB can sometimes still have "slow" 3G <-> 4G hand offs (usually no more than 5 to 10 seconds TOPS), they are not as slow as the Bionic (20 to 30 seconds IF it finishes the switch) and the TB does NOT loose data connection completely, nor does it need toggling airplane mode or a batter pull to get data back. (Bionic will loose data/mobile connection and I wont get emails, VVM notification, text messages, and can't surf the web or use apps that must have network connection. When this happens it takes toggling air plane mode, and/or a battery pull of over 30 seconds, to get it back which is something that NEVER happened on my TB).

The Bionic does feel ever so slightly faster when using it and navigating the UI, but putting them side by side, launching the same app on each, the TB either keeps up or gets it done faster.

In good 4G areas, when the Bionic has/holds 4G, its down load speeds are slightly faster (15mbp vs 12mbp) than the TB.

The camera on the Bionic (with stock software) lags for focus. And its pictures are no where near as good/sharp/rich as the TB's camera.

I'm waiting on the official Bionic update to try it again.

Only issue I still have with the TB is the "slow" GPS location lock. Sometimes it can take almost a minute to accurately (within 5meters) show my location in Google Maps.

BOTH phones were free to me, so I'm not out any money either way.

As for the SQLite hack for tethering... there is a thread out there which pretty much says that is USE AT YOUR OWN RISK and VZW can see that... will they do anything? I don't know. But apparently its safer to just use the Android Wireless Tether for Root app, and change the device profile setting
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Banggugyangu:
This seems to me like you might have something wrong w/ your bionic. I have a bionic and my parents each have Thunderbolts. My bionic doesn't have "slow 3G <> 4G hand offs". Most of the time, the switch is so seamless for me that I don't even realize it until I'm going at the 3G speeds. The only times I have any data connectivity issues at all are when I'm in an area where signal sucks. These problems happen w/ everyone's phones in those areas, though.

Also, 15 mbps is considerably slower than what my bionic regularly reaches. Both in IL and in TN (I'm regularly in both) I see 20mbps+ consistently. The camera in my bionic is easily as good or better than both of my parents' thunderbolts as well. If there is any difference in the pictures they take, it's so small that it's a moot point.

Both are good phones. The bionic is easily the better.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Rebel908:
From my understanding, editing to get the mobile hotspot won't do anything, as I have done that too and I travel a lot so thats a great benefit :)

Also, I think its a much different beast from the Thunderbolt. You've got more performance, but my opinion is that so much of that potential is held back by a skin.

Motoblur is better than it has been, but it is still nowhere near a custom stock ROM.

I think you'll enjoy it though, as I switched from the TB to Bionic (and hopefully Galaxy Nexus soon)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] greatwyrmm:
I also have both phones and I ALWAYS end up back on the Tbolt. I am also anxiously awaiting the Bionic update as it does have MANY issues at the present. I would suggest you put in a request to have your Tbolt replaced. It is a much more rugged phone and has less issues.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eraursls1984:
I'm finally happy with my bionic after having 6 t bolts. The t bolt has horrible call and sound quality, poor build quality (audio jacks and power buttons messed up on all 6). There are a few things better about the t bolt but overall the bionic is a much better phone. The only things I miss are the screen, multiple audio profiles for headphones/speaker, and the power control widget options in the notification bar.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kendive:
Ha ha

I started the same type of thread over on the Tbolt side.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Powell730:
Just bought a bionic last night for 325 with the verizon case and extended battery. Came from the bolt and I must say... I love this phone thus far.. I think it feels like a better build quality than the bolt.. It's definitely faster.. I have no had any data drops..

I have noticed the transitions from 3 to 4g are slow but I don't have to transition much due to good coverage wherever I'm at.. I did find it weird that the 4g icon stays on even when you have wifi enabled? And battery life I'm unsure about..I've only had the phone for 12 hours.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] slim6596:
I believe the 4g icon stays, but if you notice it goes white when on WiFi (indicating that 4g is actually off).
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nosympathy:
I went back to the tbolt as where I live it keeps 4G signal, intact I don't think I've lost 4G signal once, and with the bionic it was doing data drops like crazy. Plus, I get better battery life on the tbolt because of being able to use custom kernels. Also? My tbolt runs much faster overclocked to 1.7Ghz than the bionic running at 1Ghz with dual cores. Tbolt has issues, yes, but this is why I am following the rezound closely as it seems to be a better made phone and soon as it gets s-off I will buy it. I think personally HTC makes better radios than Motorola, and yet everyone always states the opposite.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] slim6596:
I think it has to do with area and phones. I consistently get better reception and call quality with Motorola. Both the Bionic and my old Droid X performed better than my Bolt did. Also, the bluetooth and WiFi reception are better with the Motos than my Bolt. If I was in your area, who knows?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eraursls1984:
This is my experience as well, my old X was as good as my t bolt, if the X had 4g and more memory I wouldn't have "upgraded" to the t bolt.

---------- Post added at 01:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------

Things may be different now, but 2 months ago when I had my t bolt you had to choose, better performance or better battery life. Some kernels had amazing battery life but horrible performance and others had bad battery life and great performance. With the bionic I have great performance and good battery life with no trade off. I get better battery life on my bionic and I always have 4g on, with my t bolt I rarely had 4g on because it rarely picked up 4g signal unlike my bionic.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kendive:
I have to agree. I am still on the Bionic and have not had the need to even to root yet. Battery life is great and happy with the UI so far.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nosympathy:
I am currently overclocked to 1.7Ghz on the tbolt with Imoseyions lean kernel, smartass governor. 1 day, 10hours, with 38% battery life left. On the bionic with the extended battery I never got past 22 hours. I have the stock tbolt battery. I know quadrant isn't always accurate, but the bionic always did about 2200-2500 score. On liberty or eclipse. 5.7.893 update. My tbolt current clocking does 3500 score consistently.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eraursls1984:
Your lucky to get 1.7 out of a t bolt, I had 6 and only 2 could clock to 1.4, 2 clocked at 1.2, 1 at 1 ghz, and 1 had to be underclocked at 800 mhz to be stable. I tried Imoseyions lean kernel and it got great battery life, it just had horrible performance even at 1.4. I had the best combo of performance and battery life with stock BAMF stripped roms at 1 ghz, non stripped BAMF roms had to be clocked at 1.2 to be as smooth.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nosympathy:
Heh. I am running protekks modded cm7 and my phone handles 1.7 fine. It does eventually lock up on 1.9 though. 1.7 is as high as I can go stable.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] CaliTilt:
I'm running Ice Cream Sandwich on my Bionic thanks to DHacker!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nosympathy:
That isn't real ICS...just to let you know...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Haze69:
Lol feels real to me, I couldn't possibly be typing on it, if it was fake ;)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lrrc29:
my opinion is tb is a lot better (lot of choices). The bionic even with the dual core cpu and all the hardware it has is the most boring phone i ever had. Honestly i never read anything interesting about it.So im waiting for the next htc smartphone to get rid of this mistake.This is just my opinion and im not trying to offend anybody.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
I've owned both. The bionic is better. I'm a heavy Android user and use mine very consistently throughout the day.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kendive:
I also own both.

There is things I like about both and there is no prefect smart phone.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eraursls1984:
There are great things I like about both but if you need it to perform as a phone stay away from the t bolt. It has horrible sound quality (on both ends) and no one can even hear me if I use speaker phone, the bionic has great call quality and people can't even tell when I'm using speaker phone. Also I had 6 t bolts and all six had the audio jacks and power button messed up within about three weeks, some people just say I'm hard on them but I'm not and my old X never had a problem, and neither does my bionic. The bionic's screen is disappointing and isn't very scratch resistant like stated.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Jack207407:
Unlocked or not I would never take even a free Thunderbolt over my Bionic, I would rather have a locked phone that works. From the day I bought the T-Bolt it was junk, prolly the buggiest phone I've owned and no update fixed it, rooted or stock nothing helped
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eraursls1984:
I agree that I wouldn't take another t bolt over my bionic but I disagree about the software problems (rooted and running roms) it had software problems in the beginning but the community. fixed most of that, software wise the t bolt was good, except for the 4g radio software. The main problem I had was horrible hardware, broken audio jacks, power button, call quality (on both ends) were the p problems I had with all six of my t bolts.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] junksecret:
Slightly off topic, I came from a Samsung Charge to the Bionic. I was one of many on the forums that would routinely lose 4G and the phone would lose all data until a toggle or boot, others thought we were crazy. Hasn't happened in the week or so that I've had the Bionic.

I was gonna get the Nexus and went to their forums and lots of people were complaining about signal strength and data loss so I thought I'd wait and see but there too, lots of complaining and lots of people happy as clams.

I come here, figuring the Bionic is superb since I've had no trouble but then read replies like in this thread that sound just like me on the Charge.

I think different phones work better geographically than others, or else the build quality on all of them is all over the map. I'm not gonna brag about my solid connection, don't wanna jinx it....lol

Why not send Otter Box the question and give us the answer!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bmoreboy02:
I have called otterbox recently and they said there will never be a otterbox for the galaxy 10.1. In fact she went as far as to say she dosent think theyll make anymore for any others besides ipads because the ones for the xoom, galaxy 7 and dell streak didnt sell well. Get a gumdrop case instead
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rcy1:
Agree with this. I like my gumdrop case.

Now if only Lifeproof made a case for the 10.1....(Lifeproof in case u didn't know makes waterproof cases)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dsafety:
I have the LifeProof case for the iPhone. It really works well. They have an iPad version in the works but last time I checked with the company, there were no plans for anything for the Tab 10.1. Too bad, the LifeProof case is nearly bullet proof.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ÜBER™:
I don't know if this is where this goes but I was wondering about the HTC view its not very much and I really want a tablet not a giant one but this one seems nice I just want some user expierences like how good it is or how well it preforms. Also the development is it very supported by devs or easy to root etc. Also if anyone knows of a better tablet within a 300$ limit and I know from sprint this is only like 250$ anyways hope to get some feedback.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] spartan1987:
I have had the View since launch, and I can say that it is a great tablet for all your basic internet browsing, book reading, games, and pretty much everything a tablet is intended to do.

The design is a lot better than a lot of the mostly plastic tablets out there. The scribe, while still missing a lot of functionality, has been useful for a few things.

Now, for the money you can get the Acer 7" WiFi only tablet running 3.2 for $200, but as far as a contract goes I think that the View is great.

I got mine for $250 with the scribe and only pay $35 a month (21% discount btw).

Now, as far as development goes, being as it's so different from the Flyer and only available on Sprint there are few View owners that do development, so if you're a flashaholic be prepared to go a long time without any updates, and no vanilla android. I've tried many launchers to make it look like HC without being satisfied.

Take into account these things and see where the View will fit in with your needs/wants. I don't regret the purchase.

Edit: Apparently an official HC release is imminent, so your wait for a completely new update won't be long.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ÜBER™:
I was actually thinking about the flyer I know for 16g its 299 and runs with a 1.5ghz processor and has official HC (I think) and seems to have a lot of support. I will be using it more as a gaming device I usually do emulators on my phone OC to 1.5ghz and it runs games smooth and does 4400 on quadrant but it does overrun and I know it won't last long if I push it so I wanted to get a higher end device I would be upgrading to the epic touch but no more special pricing is available. And this is only my first year.

HTC view is the flyer with 3g/4g radios. I love my view but I'm very biased. My dad loves his flyer.

The honeycomb version for our tablet had some show stopping bugs, so they are not releasing super soon btw. Just heard this but im not discouraged. It's being worked on and will be here before long
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] spartan1987:
Man that sucks, but I'd rather it be right than wrong when they release it. If we could get a leaked version of it, regardless of the bugs, I know you could make it plenty stable. With the otterbox out now I'm loving my view more than ever.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rbebber:
theres like 20 threads asking if someone should buy for every device out there, they are really annoying, i say no!

Best 7" tablet for the price range
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] joebob2385:
I love mine as well. I live out in the middle of nowhere and went with it instead of the flyer, quite by accident. I actually ordered a 32 gig flyer from amazon and the seller immediately emailed me stating it was a view with the pen, screen protectors and a case included so I didn't argue.

The only drawback is the wasteland that is our development and rom community. Apparently those subtle differences in radios are enough to add months to equivalent distributions.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dellbell:
I knew I wanted a 7" tablet. First, I pre-ordered a Kobo Vox, based on spec sheet, and the idea that the specs seemed comparable to my phone, an HTC EVO Shift, also running Gingerbread. Found out that I was wrong.

So, I then knew I wanted a faster, better 7" tablet. But didn't want to pay >$400! Not too many choices that also got good reviews. And, thinking about it, did want 3G/4G--if not tied to a really costly monthly contract--so as to have ubiquitous access. Quickly found that there were few choices from the carriers, and expensive contracts.

Ended up back @ Sprint, my phone carrier. They had the Flyer @ $249, and their cheapest data plan was, under what else I had on my contract with them, $20/month. That was a winner.

I am very pleased so far; it does everything I wanted it to do, and at a quite reasonable cost.

The real difference between the Flyer and the View is where you'll want to use it when away from your home or office WiFi: if bothered by the idea of finding WiFi when out and about, go with the View. If not, go with the Flyer. The hardware and operating system, I think you'll find, do what you want them to do.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ÜBER™:
Ill always have my epic with me so its a portable wifi hotspot everywhere I go so its equivalent to the view if I get the flyer however I won't have a monthly payment I have decied on the flyer just because the development it has and its universal thank you for all your help in my decision.

Sent from my OG Epic
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] joebob2385:
The biggest issue with the choice between flyer and view, currently, is availability. You might luck up on amazon like I did and find a view cheaper than you can get a flyer, without the attached service plans.

While doing a factory reset I noticed a message that said "no app2sd partition found".

I'm assuming these problems are directly related to not having an app2sd partition. How do I go about getting that back?

That's because the rom doesn't support app2sd....mine doesn't either

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ScalesOnline:
Hi Guys, hoping someone can help me here.

I know I have replied to another thread asking the same question, but I wanted to ask in my own post so I could detail exactly what I have done in the hope someone can point out to me what a complete idiot I have been and put me right.

I tried to upgrade my sons phone this week which was on MiniCM7-2.07. I followed all the instructions to unlock bootloader etc and all seemed to go well, I booted up into MiniCM7-2.15 successfully however there is no network coverage, and there hasnt been since. The phone was sim unlocked about a year ago but I cant remember if I got Orange to do it for me or I paid one of the various unlockers for the code. I know it was never hooked up to a separate machine (SETOOL?). I tried my original Orange SIM in it to see if that fixed it, but still no joy.

You are able to browse the various networks available as it searches for them and finds them, but when you choose a certain network it returns with an error that your SIM will not work with that network, or words to that effect.

If you take the SIM out you get a totally different error, so pretty sure the SIM carrier is working.

So, to rectify this I relocked the bootloader and used SEUS to go back to stock 2.1. This all worked fine apart from I still have no network. WIFI works fine, but no data or phone calls.

I have tried flashing other kernels, again with no joy, always the same problem.

What else can I try? I used to do mess around with linux so I know my way around console, is there a module in the kernel I could try swapping or changing? Surely there is something that is controlling that part of the phone that has been changed and isnt being changed back again? What does SEUS do, does it just restore the ROM or is it the kernel too?

Really hoping someone can help with this, as of this moment the x10mini is as good as a chocolate tea pot to me :(

Tony
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tx3m:
Did you find a decision of your problem? I have the same problem, with the only difference that I never changed the ROM. I just rooted the phone with the SuperOneClick tool, and then tried to unlock the bootloader, but with no luck there. After completing all the steps in the tutorial with no problems during the process, it remained locked.

And I just realized after that, that the phone has the sim card problem, just as yours.

So any suggestions?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] minachvim:
guys first of all let's try a test if you have an unlocked bootloader go ahead and flash the latest nAa Kernel (nAa-10) then from that kernel install MiniCM7 2.1.8 and tell me your results if it was negative you should reflash all Without locking the bootloader from SEUS via the Repair option therefore after this it should work as the SEUS restore all the software kernel and ROM to its original state from the manufacturer Sony Ericsson.

let me know what will happen with you.
