[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
sbf is a basic recovery method back to OG stock. I will say taht the D3 is a hell of a machine. My benchmark scores are very high, even compared to other new devices. Bionic and Razr are very similar to the D3. I wouldnt say that it drags stock. Ive had an atrix, and it didnt score as high on my list as id hope, but you can unlock the bootloader on atrix and do some things you cant with the d3. tough decision, but i already told you what i'd do. what country are you going to use this device in?
[Motorola Droid 3] infestedd:
im from brazil. here the price diference is huge, from atrix to droid 3, its about 80 dolars, from atrix to sgs2, its aboult 300 dolars.

i had a vibrant, that is gone for good. i spent easily more than 500 dolars fixing it lol (3 broken screens and some others stuffs)

So i dont want to spend too mutch on a new phone... from what i have seen, droid 3 seens to be the more atractive, except by the 512 mb ram. in fact i wanted a motorola phone, but it seens that the choices are limited and problematic. atrix is on market for a long time, and on my country it even doesnt have the oficial 2.3 yet. xt860 have gb, a better camera, the cool keyboard, but the 512 mb ram concerns me. what im looknig too, is for company suport, i want to buy an device that i know at least will have an oficial ICS.

After all, i really dont want an samsung anymore, passed a lot of time with it, my vibrant doesnt even have an oficial gb rom. LG is all about complain, so i think my choices are limited to motorola.

Can you give me a hand?
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
i understand what you mean. the 512 in the d3 is sufficient. its running faster than my xoom or handful of other devices. i wish i could tell you for sure what to buy. like i said, personally, i will be moving to the galaxy nexus very soon (but im not a GSM user either

)
[Motorola Droid 3] eXecuter.bin:
Yes. I previously owned the Atrix, there were so much problem with it after a few month that I nearly threw it against a wall from all the frustration caused.
[Motorola Droid 3] infestedd:
so, from this choices, should i move to a d3?
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
I haven't tried the other phones but I have the Verizon D3 and I put a custom ROM on here and it is nice. The keyboard is very nice to use and it is very possible to make it run as well as the newer Motorola phones such as the RAZR with a mild overclock.
[Motorola Droid 3] Baconstrip:
I will say I absolutely love my D3 and am sad it doesn't get more love. Mine has been snappy since even before installing custom roms... plus it's keyboard is exceptional (the main selling point for me, I can't have a phone without a KB!)

I'm quite pleased with my D3.

Anyone in Canada have any info on when Bell will be shipping their devices for pre-orders? Will they be shipped on the 8th or prior to that so we get them on the 8th?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BootsSiR:
I tweeted them and got my answer :)

I pre ordered mine also and no shipping confirmation yet
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BootsSiR:
I asked them if shipping notifications will be sent out. They haven't replied yet.

Guys I pre ordered from virgin mobile last week and I received my nexus this morning at 9am. Are they not division of bell? If so I am assuming very soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] send2toonie:
Update.

There is no bloatware from virgin mobile Canada and the phone is unlocked. I am using it on rogers at the moment.

Boot loader is not locked. I have unlocked it, phone is now rooted with superuser.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AverageCanadian:
You lucky S.O.B. I was told mine might start shipping tonight. Hoping for early morning delivery on the 8th.

Is it me or what? I see everybody talking about Gingerbread roms, saying the're fast and smooth,etc. But after flashing like 15 different roms from different builds I always find they lag or leak too much RAM. I always go back to SRF 1.2. Can anyone give me details?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blazinazn:
I'm running the mostly stock ROM and it's silky smooth for me. Outstanding battery life. unplugged for 12 hours and I've still got 70%

Couldn't be happier.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamdelozier:
CM7 is my current daily driver, as long as you can live without being able to dial 911 and can live without 4g (both not really a concern for me)

My other choices that worked very well is ACS ICS 5.5, Marcusant Revival v1 and Urban Precision. All very snappy when combined with the latest Samurai Kernel.

Are you doing a full wipe before flashing? Also, rumor has it, wiping your SD card and reformatting it has been very helpful as well, although, I have yet to have the need to do that.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Don't know what you mean. I have never found evidence of any RAM leak. Check the task killer of Memory Booster Lite to see all the garbage using your memory. Add to that programs filling caches and not giving that back when closed and I always have 170MB free RAM. I have no lag on Legendary.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechSr06:
I've had pretty good luck with the SensiSimple
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bebobsa:
I'm using Advance Task Killer. I've read many times that it is no good for froyo and gingerbread but it has always made my phone faster.

At first I have like 135mb free approx. But after 1 hour of use it goes down to 95mb or less and never go back. And yes, I always wipe all data, cache and davlik cache 3 times before installing any ROM.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamdelozier:
Another thing is you can try the zepplinrox scripts...I have found them much more useful than any task killers.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
If you use the browser it caches all your pages and stores them in memory. I have found that an hour or so later it gives back some of that memory but not all of it. ATK is not made for GB. Get Memory Booster Lite and see where that 40MB is going. There are no "leaks" just poorly written apps.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bebobsa:
I'll try that and report back. Thanks guys!!!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bebobsa:
Well, I tried SleeperROM and Revival(for the 2nd time) and insted of ATK I used Memory Booster. I had a better experience than before but SRF1.2 smoothness and battery life is still better. What's the difference? Just CRT ON/OFF and overscroll? Thanks anyway guys!!!

Gingerbread incorporates video acceleration to utilize the hardware better for one thing.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbob18:
I'm running Thunderhawk 3.2 with ShadowKernel and my phone is the best it has ever been. Battery life is 24h+ with 3h screen on time (stock battery), and is very responsive.

I am running Supercharger Update9 RC4 Super 768hp with the home locked in memory (no redraws), this is not great for multi-tasking, but it ensures that my phone will be as responsive as possible every time I pick it up.

I am also undervolting using Tegrak as my phone will undervolt far more using Tegrak compared to Voltage Control which results in better battery life.

When set up right GB can be far more responsive than Froyo could ever be, and that has a lot to do with the GPU acceleration some parts of the UI takes advantage of.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SalsaForte:
I run ICS on my Nexus S and I noticed some "duplications" in the People apps. Here is how you can fix these easily.

1. Select one of the "contact card" you want to merge.

2. Click on menu, then "modify".

3. Click menu again, then "join/merge". ICS will suggest you the best matches, but you can salect any contact.

4. Repeat "step 3" if you have more than 2 instances of the same contact.

5. Click OK, you're done!

Hope this will help you!

SIDE NOTE: Don't forget you can still manage your contacts on the Google Contacts website: http://google.com/contacts.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knowsnophones:
Does stopping running processes from the Manage Applications settings have any permanent effect on the phone? If I turn off the phone and turn it on again, will it fix whatever I stopped?

It's ok right to turn off processes? Nothing is really deleted right? Sorry, I'm new to android and smart phones in general/
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigmille:
Running processes are running programmes located in the RAM, so turn them off will only stop them running without wipe them from storage.

Not sure why you want to manually stop running processes, it’s likely they will auto restart after a while anyway. Beside Gingerbread is quite good at manage running apps, so there really is not a need to manually terminate running processes.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dpalumbo15:
Nope. It will not have any permanent effect. You'll just clean up your RAM a bit, but everything you stopped will be started again when you turn on your phone or even in a few seconds.

Agree with the user above about Gingerbread app managing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
In my opinion, the *only* reason to manually stop a process is because it's gone rogue and slowing down your device.

Any form of automatic task killing is ultimately counter-productive!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boraltis:
The gist is: Is it possible to make a Captivate do this? I know that just about every Motorola android has a nice little reorienting animation when you turn it over. We (and by "we" I mean "you geniuses who know what the hell you're doing") managed to implement the now standard crt screen-off animation. Any chance at getting the "flip?"

Sent from parts unknown.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LOSTLOGIC89:
Yea its possible .

Some of my roms have either flip, flying or bouncing animation.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boraltis:
Does this need to be built into a rom? Or is there a flashable mod or DIY guide that I'm unaware of?

Sidenote: I love your work, Logic. I do flash your roms. I've just never seen (or don't recall) an animation for switching back and forth between portrait and landscape.

Sent from parts unknown.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
LostLogic is talking about something completely different, IE the transitions between apps or pop ups.

As for your question, ICS has it (running it right now) so you can flash an ICS ROM like the team hacksung one. I'm running that right now and it has the aforementioned animation.

Right on, Mike. How is that as a daily driver for a casual user (as in I don't use my phone for all it can do)? Just calls, text, web browsing and some games. I've read the thread, but it's pretty conflicted in terms of reviews. Your take? Or anyone else's for that matter?

When using ClockworkMod Recovery to back up my phone the backup files go to /sdcard which is also wiped when flashing userdata.img via fastboot.

It would be nice if I could save these backup files to my mac (either via MTP or USB mass storage) WITHOUT booting my phone into system. When I boot to system my backup becomes outdated.

Is there a recovery image that allows copying files while preserving the file structure in? (abd pull seems to copy everything but it puts all files into one directory)

Can I do this with CWM?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TroyBoy30:
I'm new to the world of android as I've been on the iphone for the past 3 years. I have been reading everything here that I can as to avoid pissing you guys off from having to answer these simplistic questions over and over. I know you guys get tired of it and I have been searching and trying to learn.

I have a pretty basic question and was hoping to get some input and advice.

I know nothing about Bootloader & Root. As I said I'm coming from the iphone. My question is, should i unlock the bootloader and root as soon as I get the device? What are the advantages in doing so? I really have no intention of modding the device and planned on leaving it totally stock. I got burnt out on modding way back with Motorola seam updates! I know doing this would wipe the device so I was wondering if I should do it 1st, but since google syncs everything to the device, couldn't I do it later and still sync everything back just like when you 1st get it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tjotte:
Unlocked bootloader lets you flash costume kernels cooked and modded by the devs here, could give a more optimized phone or a more unstable.. root gives you super user or admin over your phone, that lets you delete, change or add systemfiles, some market appa depend on it.. as an everyday user, you do not NEED to do these things to your phone, but if you ever get boored and want to play around to keep your phone "new and exciting" its a nice way to keep you from tire and buy something new for a while. My xperia x10 is miles better then stock ;) my incoming SGN i will probably keep it stock for a while.. Welcome to the community :-)

Oh and yes, once you synced your contacts and apps you can play around with modds and allways get them synced to your phone, app DATA will however not sync.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Danny80y:
I Unlocked my bootloader first thing out of the box.. Because it will wipe everything. After that you can root and flash CWM without any data loss so you are free to run stock or rooted stock as long as you want and be able to flash when your ready and use titanium backup to restore your apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AmesCell:
I need Titanium backup. I don't know how people get by without it. Therefore I have to root every phone right away.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
I would say rooting is the most important for backing up app data. The sync tells you that it will back up and restore app data but it doesn't really. It only backs up certain data and only if the app is written specifically to support it, iirc. With root you can use tools like Titanium Backup to back up everything in case you need to factory reset, change phone or simply just going back to an earlier backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sucker4pa1n:
I don't have a SGN (yet) but when I. Got my DROID Incredible I rooted it as soon as someone found a way... took a few hours but I was too impatient for one-click root.

Anyway, I did it solely to remove bloat and Sense. Since the SGN is stock, and the GSM version doesn't have any bloat that I'm aware of... I'd say you could stay stock for a while, root if you feel the need later (or want the extra benefits of Titanium BU or other root apps).

Tapatalk Pro Sig. Yep, boring.
[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
Just a quick psa for those who were asking a lot about the ota eh03 vs the leak.

kwinders was kind enough to do a system pull of the ota for me to compare, and the roms are 99% percent identical down to the build.props being the same.

only differences are a slightly newer vz navigator in the ota vs leak, and a newer adobe flash installer (still older than what is current in market).

aside from a few more bins in the odin that wouldnt be present in an ota pull afaik (chmod, chown) thats it.

so if you have to get back to stock to return to vzw for some reason, the odin is gold...and the roms based off the odin are the same as if we built off the ota

that is all :p
