I have both versions and can attest the same as OP. Besides Verizon's being washed out, it also suffers color banding, and visible vertical amoled lines, extremely visible using gray background even at full brightness. On my GSM version is hardly visible, and only under the very low brightness.

Also, the Verizon's version touch screen isn't nearly as responsive as my unlocked GSM version.

I wanted to return and wait for the replacement, but quickly learnt that Verizon sends you re-certified device in return... Also tested in store units, and they all seem to behave the same as my unit.

In my case its safe to say that Unlocked GSM version performs head and shoulders above the LTE disciple.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j.bruha:
I can confidently second this post. I went through 3 different Nexus S's last year because they all had a strange tint to them that was different than that of my girlfriend's Nexus S. I've also sold easily hundreds of Galaxy S devices at work (same model) and have noticed the color changing over time and even out of the box when people buy more than one at a time.

At the end of the day though it all comes down to preference. If you get a screen that looks ugly to you, exchange it for one that looks good.

give it a try and maybe this can help some newbies that are afraid to root.

I'm really trying to sway my dad back to Android. He wandered away when the 4s came out, he's like an old man that somehow got out of the retirement home and is lost.

Anyways, he's into big benchtest scores (he's builds PCs as a light hobby). My infuse barely topped 4,000 (if ever) and my wife's SGS2 hit mid 6,000s with MIUI 1.12.23 (which is impressive). I just got my SGS2 10 minutes ago, its now rooted and ready for a rom. I would like some advice on showing how amazing this phone is, not just the benchtest, but everything.

I know its better than the 4s, partly because of the community supporting it :D

There is a way to do that? thanks..

When I install hboot 1.20 on my sensation I got warning CID failed! press Power for restart. I can't install hboot 1.17. again CID failed! What to do?
[HTC Sensation] HorstDCC:
Did you supercid before doing this?

You might know what I'm telling you already, if so, please simply ignore my message. In case you are wondering what supercid is and how to do it: it is setting the cid (carrrier ID) variable on your phone to the value 11111111 so that your cid becomes a superID. You can accomplish this very easily via ADB commands, but it is worth reading up on. For instance you'll probably want to write down your current cid in case you ever want to go back to a stock alike condition for your warranty.

[Motorola Droid 3] snakebomber:
Hi,

i recently bought a new droid 3 from verizon i already sim unlocked it because i live in Europe.

but i'm totally new to the android system but i do know some things about it but is there a guide to help me started rooting and flashing?

or could someone tell me the basics in a nutshell?

my previous phone was a WinMo based phone and all you needed was sspl and you could flash custom roms.

how is it done for android? and what does it mean with fastboot, root? (i asume it is something like linux to be root user?) safeboot? bootstrap? and what is CM7 or CM9

P.S. i study electronics-informatics so you don't need to tell me what linux or windows is :p

thnx in advance
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Can you tell me how you unlocked your phone???

To flash ROMs install Safestrap from here

http://hash-of-codes.blogspot.com/p/android-downloads.html

Go to the android development section to find ROMs.

Liberty, ICS/CM9, MavRom, and SteelDroid are the most popular. Im using mavrom with ICS currently.
[Motorola Droid 3] Downtown Dan:
I definitely recommend looking into CM9. I just did a bunch of Googling on it today for my D3.

Now I'm running Ice Cream Sandwich and loving it. It's early yet and it has it's quirks, but overall I think it was worth it.

euhm i sim unlocked my phone using this website unlock4moto.com/order_code/Motorola/Droid_3/any_Motorola/

(put http in before the link) xda wont let me post hyperlinks yet :p

you only need to give the IMEI number you can find here:

At the Home screen, press Menu

Tap Settings

Scroll down and tap "About phone"

Tap Status

Scroll down the screen and the IMEI # will be listed there

it worked for me and i got the sim unlock code emailed to me within 30 mins (look in you spam folder too)

[Motorola Droid 3] snakebomber:
ooh but is there a way to brick the phone? cause it would be darn stupid to brick my 3 day old phone and send it back to america for repairs.

so just root the phone and install safestrap? no worries of bricking the phone? and are there other methods besides safestrap?

if yes what are the differences?

it all looks SO easy to flash roms for android ( in WinMo it was always wait and see) but then again it was Microsoft...:p
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
There is always a chance of bricking your phone but fortunately perma-bricking your phone while trying to flash new roms or using safestrap is almost impossible since you can still enter fastboot (m+powerup) from where you can install the stock sbf/rom

You can also flash using the 'old' bootstrap which basically removes your stock rom and flahes the new one.

Safestrap backs-up your old rom so you can try out another rom in another system/partition. Almost dualboot like except you can't reflash the original rom (yet)

Sry no links i'm on my droid3 :D
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
"Almost dualboot like except you can't reflash the original rom" hey double, what do you mean by this. If you toggle safe system you can use your original ROM again. although i think im understanding wrong lol
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
You're right but you can't reflash your original rom (non-safe). E.g. i have mavrom as nonsafe/original and ics has safe..now if an update comes for mavrom i can't update it without uninstalling safestrap and going back to bootstrap

273045896523648364 is this the IMEI Number??

I tried to send the 18 numbers but on the website will not let me put more than 15.
[Motorola Droid 3] snakebomber:
of what i read is that the MEID is a kind of IMEI number but because there are so many phones with an IMEI number that they needed something new but the unlock is (according what i found on google) always done with the IMEI number.

to what carrier is your phone locked to? and what is the exact type of your phone XT860 XT862? (you can find this in the "about" menu under settings.

maybe it is because my phone was brand new and never used.So it was never activated on the verizon network.

and i don't know if this has anything to do with it but on the box it says that the phone is "global ready".(I personally think it has nothing to do with that because if the phone is quadband it is ALWAYS global ready, if ofcourse the phone is not locked to verizon or some other carrier)

i have an alternative website but it is more expensive i thought it was 23 dollars or so. it first checks if they have an unlock code (never used the site but it looks promising)

sim-unlock.net/sim-lock/75/Unlock_for_any_New_Motorola_Defy_Flipout_Milestone/ (again put the http in front of it)

i hope this helps;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tukanglibas:
Hello,

I just flashed Vahalla-BlackEdition 2.3.6.

Everything looks great. I have not tested everything though.

I thought that flashing a new ROM would remove all of my installed apps. In fact, it doesn't.

How do I get rid off all of my installed apps while flashing a new custom ROM ? The reason I want to remove all of my installed apps is because I have too many apps (games) and just want to start something new.

I thought about doing "CWM: wipe data/factory reset" before I flash a new ROM using CWM. Does "wipe data/factory reset" remove all of my installed apps ?

Thanks in advance.

Tukang Libas.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
yes, the factory data reset will wipe the apps. Not all ROMs will remove them as you found out. It really depends on what you flash.

Good luck :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfribeiro:
Hello all,

Maybe this is a stupid question but until now i can't figure out what are the diferences between CF-Root and other insecure kernel for root purposes such the one developed by Odia (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1101671).

Can anyone please tell me what are the main differences between them?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
basic difference with odia unsecured method, you do not need to flash back to stock to remove the yellow triangle then flash the zimage to return to root like chainfires method.

chainfire method is also automated to use with odin and was safer as chainfire add busybox and su commands to the original kernal.

Now odia is also automated through odin but original odia, you need to use sdk commands to send these files to the phone for better results.

But you need to know what you were doing as using unsecured kernals was no guarantee that your phone would be rooted properly.
[HTC Titan] pistol44:
Ok it's getting pretty annoying to the point I have to ask.. Is there a little trick or something I don't know about to stop the horrible lag and stuttering when streaming videos like from YouTube or whatnot?

I'm on wi-fi, download speeds arent the issue and I can see the video buffering way ahead so I know it's not an issue with it freezing because it needs to buffer. No matter what while it's playing it stutters and freezes like nuts no matter where I stream video from. It's actually a little embarrassing when I'm trying to show someone a video and it freezes every few seconds.

I know about disabling SRS from the sound options to stop lag in games so I thought there might be a similar fix.
[HTC Titan] dante501:
Tell me about it. It is in my case so bad that it after loading for a bit just stops loading and doesn't do anything and basically YouTube is just incapable to play anything. Sometimes low quality works but that's more a gamble as well. But everything else works perfectly streaming like VEVO or so no lag nothing. Its only YouTube. It started for me excatly 3 days ago that it stopped working. Before YouTube worked great. I sadly have no fix for it either. I know it is darn annoying thought.
[HTC Titan] the_Enlightened:

Well. that's the sh#%*t I made:

I tried to revert to stock then I used this package: Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2.zip flashing it with vol. - + power button.

The problem is that the screen went on as it was install this update normally with the message "booting recovery kernel image", but, after spinning Android gears, the device is stuck at the green Android robot with the yellow exclamation.

If I try to boot with power button instead, then it's stuck on the boot screen Android logo (the shiny blue one).

I tried to reset and to flash another update.zip, unsuccessful. With the last ROM I had, civato Flexthunder, I had CWM, but now, neither it's menu is showed if I press only vol. - + power button - what I have is "booting recovery kernel image", then the Android exclamation on the screen. Notice that, when I was using that ROM, I had CWM. But I used Acer Recovery Installer to flash the US recovery from it's menu. After that, I installed CWM again with this Acer Recovery Installer...

In the end, I tried what I read here, but I can't solve on my own...

It's so confusing! How can I have my A500 back, please, someone!!! :confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:

Yes, K, I used that Acer Recovery Installer when I was still with civato's ROM.

So, from Acer Recovery menu, I flashed that "US stock recovery" version available there. Following that, I installed CWM from Acer Recovery menu again. So, I put that update cited above and... stuck on that!

mmm... but that update is 3.2 - I didn't try with a 3.01... let me see that...
