I would, last guy who hit me ended up paying $1400 for putting a small dent in my rear bumper. I can't imagine the damage he'd do in that yota lol

+1! Safety first, i always either hand the phone over to the person next to me to text or read me the text OR i wait until a red light before looking at anything (that includes phone calls) It's better to be safe than sorry, especially if you worked your ass off for your car purchase.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SolidHelix:
Anyone else here using skype find it wont stay logged if the phone is left alone for a while?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
Define "a while". I had it open for two or three days straight before I closed it myself. It remained logged in the entire time and it used next to zero wake locks according to betterbatterystats.

Are you using a custom rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] manichon:
Check in Skype your settings. Menu-> settings-> go offline

Set to Never
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SolidHelix:
It seems every time my screen goes off it disconnects, I'm using apex from with Franco's kernel. Go offline is set to never and is set to auto sign in. Every time I open skype it reconnects
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
Maybe it's not fully compatible with that kernel. Is there a way to find out if other Franco Kernel users are having the same problem? It could be one of those battery saving features that kills Skype when the screen is off.
[Motorola Droid X2] Schwazilla:
I've searched the forums but I couldn't find anything resent and I know with the speed of development any info was probably outdated anyway.

I come from a nook color/gtab/le pan rooting background where the choices are more limited and focused as far as rom selection goes. So some of these DX2 and TB Rom choices are a little over whelming.

I have an upgrade for Verizon but nothing really grabs me right now, but I still want to upgrade from my DX.

My main concern is Rom stability and speed. 3g vs 4g isn't a factor form me since this is just meant to carry me over for 6 months or so.

Your thoughts on what phone and what rom?
[Motorola Droid X2] Jubomime:
Dx2 rom choices are overwhelming?

Don't hear that often. Or ever....

Dx2 is a bad bet. Its a good phone, but with a locked bootloader and Tegra 2 it gets very little dev love.

Go get yourself a nice galaxy nexus. That's my advice.
[Motorola Droid X2] Schwazilla:
I don't want a nexus, hence the original question posted.
[Motorola Droid X2] atomikhippo:
If it is just holding you over for 6 months it would be a good investment since you don't care about lte. They'll have quad-cores out by that time. Although i am on cm7, the eclipse rom I think is pretty damn stable.
[Motorola Droid X2] Schwazilla:
The DX2?

I'm used to CM7 from my nook. I like it, I know the CM7 for the DX2 is still in beta though.
[Motorola Droid X2] TheHunterOfShadows:
Funny you ask, my wife has a TB and I an x2. If 4g is not an issue, I would say X2 hands down. ONLY, if you plan on installing cm7. My phone is blazing fast compared to hers. And smaller and lighter. The gpu on the x2 is light years ahead of the crummy one on the TB. Has less weird issues, and battery life is quite a bit better, even with cm7.

But, honestly, what don't you like about the nexus? I would highly suggest going that route if its an option.
[Motorola Droid X2] TheHunterOfShadows:
Oh and thus far cm7 has been pretty stable for me. Stock android on the TB seems to be less so for my wife. Anecdotal of course but there u go.
[Motorola Droid X2] Schwazilla:
I HATE the soft buttons. I know its the future of ICS but its just a waste of 1/4 inch of screen real esate. and I might as well wait till there are some second gen ICS phones anyways.
[Motorola Droid X2] DaveRichardson:
I don't get that argument. The Nex has a 4.65 inch screen without having a bigger footprint than ours. So even if those buttons NEVER went away (and they do when screen size matters--watching video), it'd still be more screen on a same-size phone.

Also, why waste an upgrade on a 6 month stopgap device? What are you gonna do in 6 months when a phone you do like becomes available--pay the unsubsidized $600 for it?

The last thing I'd do is renew my contract/use my two year upgrade on a DX2 (especially knowing what we know now). Moto's already abandoned the thing, if it weren't for DKZ et al. so would most of us.

Phone flaws I'll never overlook again:

- Locked bootloader

- Pentile display

- Lack of NEON support
[Motorola Droid X2] TheHunterOfShadows:
Agreed. I second the comment that dude, the soft buttons go away when the full screen is Needed. Such as updated games and when watching videos. Speaking of which, tonight I just picked up a galaxy nexus on eBay. Saw a great price and had to jump on it. X2 has been fun. And honestly, for the folks that did stick on xda for the x2, I'd say, good crowd!!

Back to ur question, I'd say, if ur looking at signing a contract, don't do it on the x2. If u really like the phone, pick one up on ebay. Later in the year look for the Samsung Galaxy S3. Sign a contract on that.
[Motorola Droid X2] TheHunterOfShadows:
Could not have said it better myself!

Though the gnex pentile is fine. But your point there is the same. X2 screen is bad, real bad...
[Motorola Droid X2] Schwazilla:
who said anything about using my upgrade on a stop gap dx2? I can pick one up for 150 on ebay and get a better ICS phone in 6 months when it has become available on better hardware.
[Motorola Droid X2] TheHunterOfShadows:
Silent agreement, me thinks. If that's the case I'd def say x2 over TB, IMHO.
[Motorola Droid X2] Cheapxj:
why does everyone talk **** about pentile screens? This is the ONLY phone I've EVER had that I can actually see the damn screen in bright florida sun and it has almost the same resolution as my netbook that I don't carry anymore because this phone straight up replaced it.

waaaaaaah my pixels arent square... waaaaaaaaaaah...

here's 2 cool features of this phone, real buttons that don't waste space on the digitizer and no forward facing camera. I don't want my phone looking at me.

the ONLY thing I dislike about this phone is the locked bootloader, and it hasn't been THAT much of a problem.

one thing I do know, it gets recpetion where almost all the others don't, and I travel for a living, so that is EXTREMELY important. the only issue I had with mine was the stock SD card was crappy, my phone would freeze and do stupid things until I replaced it... It even go run over by a lifted K5 Blazer (the big one, not the little s10 based one) in the colorado rockies with no screen protector or case or anything and all I have is a tiny scratch on the display and a scratch on the side all the way down to the metal...

yeah, METAL... this phone is made of METAL not wussy-assed taiwanese plastic.
[Motorola Droid X2] Jubomime:
You, sir, are awesome.
[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
I must say this is one rock solid phone! One thing Moto did NOT cheap out on was build quality. I have not handled a phone that is more sturdy and sleek (sleek enough for me) than this one. And it has some weight to it, which is not overwhelming but reassuring. I held my friend's SGSII and it was feather light and "felt" cheap...
[Motorola Droid X2] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:
yeah the rockies story made me look down at my dx2 in a case with a screen protector on it and feel kinda lame. lol.
[Motorola Droid X2] TheHunterOfShadows:
If you like the screen then I am happy for you and I will agree that it is very bright. But there are plenty of well done tests that show the clear pitfalls of non-amoled pentile screens. I think the x2 is a good phone, but personally the poor colors, awful dark imagine viewing, and the ghosting are more then enough to get me to think twice about pentile. If I'm not mistaken, tomshardware might have called it devil :D

And buttons are a matter of choice, but after going from the d1 to the fascinate, to the TB, to the x2, I can safely say hardware buttons are not for me.

All in all if you pick up a x2 for $160 on ebay I think you will be happy if you put cm7 on it. But know it has some issues, as do most phones.
[Motorola Droid X2] DaveRichardson:
I misunderstood your OP. It's a fair phone for $150 unlocked (now that we have 2nd init. roms) if you're not OCD about display issues. Mild screen ghosting is nails-on-a-chalkboard to me, and the DX2 screen ghosts like no other.

Anyway, the DX vs. DX2 seems to be a wash. The DX2 has an extra core (and is a better dyno queen when it comes to benchmarks...like all Tegra 2 devices), but the DX is honestly just as zippy in 90% of tasks. The DX2 has a qHD screen, but the DX display looks better anyway (no ghosting).

If I were you, I'd install CM74DX-GB as seen in this thread:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/10191-updated-info-on-revnumbers-cm4dx-gb1-batt-and-fm-radio-added/

on the X, and rock it for another four months until the SGSIII comes out.

2 cents.
[Motorola Droid X2] metaphysicalgx2:
"I don't want my phone looking at me." Lol love it!
[Motorola Droid X2] TheHunterOfShadows:
Lol, plus 2

Anyway, op, did you decide which way to go? Is there anything else you want to know about the phone?
[Motorola Droid X2] hpark21:
I just got a good deal on Droid Inc 2 and Wow, what a difference.

(I still have my DX2, I will probably give that to my wife).

DInc 2 feels much zippier and the XDA support is top notch.

(with so many roms and at least 3 actively worked on kernels, etc).

The Display looks more crisper and speaker is much better with more free memory (the phone comes with 756MB RAM with 2GB ROM space).

X2 has HUGE potential with its dual core chip, but at this moment, with BLUR dragging it down (compared to Blur, the Sense is MUCH better).

I mean, with slightly overclocked (1.2ghz from 1ghz) CPU on Dinc2, it can decode HD H264 videos at acceptable level to watch compared with X2 which had quite a few frame skipping (same video, same player).

Dual core 1Ghz phone should be able to do better IMHO.

So, if one is going to get SOMETHING to wait for ICS phone price to come down, then he/she should seriously give Droid Inc 2 some thought.
[Motorola Droid X2] TheHunterOfShadows:
Have you tried cm7 on the x2? Whole different phone. Not that the di2 isn't a good option. I'm sure the screen is better. What gpu is on the di2? I know the di1 gpu was crap, complete crap. But I think the one in the 2 was much better.
[Motorola Droid X2] hpark21:
Yes, it was my daily driver until I got the D Inc 2.

That said, I listed all the little annoyances in other thread which added up to rather not very pleasant experience. (One of crucial issue has been that it appears that some phone calls are not coming through) It currently has Eclipse 2.0.3 which is straight forward and works well currently for my wife.

I would like to move her back on to CM7 once it goes through few more iterations.

DI2 uses MSM8655 Snapdragon CPU with Adreno 205 GPU.
[Motorola Droid X2] TheHunterOfShadows:
Gotcha. Don't get me wrong. I'm moving from a x2 to a gnex myself... Good price on ebay :)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] willysp:

Cheers!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] gallahad2000:
Yeah, I got it for that price - $30 off $150 in mid december. That's too bad that they're discontinuing it, that decreases my optimism that they'll continue to update it till we get ICS.

[HTC Sensation] wish 13:
I am looking for the Thyparancy Honey HD touch of blue skin. I have used it before and love it and know it works. I have sense 3.0 and for some reason it just doesn't even show up in the market. But if I go to the website to check what apps I have it says it's already installed but isn't compatible with my phone (sensation 4g, android version2.3.4 , software number1.50.531.1). I just don't understand why this wont work anymore when it has in the past. I recently just reflashed stock debranded mod coming from ARHD 3.6.13 and it was working fine. why isn't it now? I still have sense 3.0. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] wish 13:

and scan the QR code and follow the instructions. it'll bring ya up to the market so you can download it.

I know there's tons of threads about the best replacement batteries and the best extended batteries, but I'm looking for OEM from Samsung, NFC capable batteries. I'm well aware that they won't be as cheap as the high-capacity ones, but I seem to have misplaced my OEM battery while swapping it out for my extended one.

I don't really want to trust Ebay, unless they're a 100% valid seller carrying OEM batteries which won't boot-loop.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Blaze9:
Well, I'm sure it'll "work" but it'll work just like all the other i9100 batteries work. Boot-Looping and no "NFC" label.

Can someone explain to me what the Label actually means? Is the NFC chip inside the battery, or does the battery just "allow" the waves to pass through it without any interference? If the latter, will non-oem batteries cause interference?

Also, I went ahead and bought theses:

I'll let you guys know if they're OEM or not...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Blaze9:
Ok, thanks for that information.

I just got a reply from the seller. Here's what I asked, and the reply:

"Is this product: http://www.all4cellular.com/samsung-eb-l1a2gba-battery.html An OEM battery? As in, it was made by Samsung in Korea, allows USB charging, does not Boot-Loop, and is NFC capable?"

"

Yes its an OEM Battery manufactured by Samsung in Korea, does support USB charger, doesnt Boot Loop and depending on your cellular device is compatible with Near Field Communication."

Droid 1 had an unlocked bootloader. What does he know about 2nd init? Not trying to discourage him, but this phone has already scared off most developers except for maybe 3.

He actually knows a lot after the Droid 1 he went onto the Droid X did a lot of his own kernel tweaking OC building roms then went to the Droid Charge and currently is working on the Droid3. Trust me it'll be worth it.

Hurt? Guys all he did was waste our time, we didnt give him anything, we lost nothing. The minute it was said that he was bs i moved on, if we expect to furthur advance the development off our phones i suggest everyone else do the same. I too if one think the more devs we have working on our phone the better. Sandso i hope you find a phone for your buddy.
[Motorola Droid X2] theredvendetta:
Hurt was a poor choice of word, but I agree with him. Melvin single-handedly made us all skeptical of devs we aren't already familiar with. It's a shame, but it's the truth. Not to say I believed Melvin to begin with, but it is the principal of the matter.
[Motorola Droid X2] CadenH:
There's a difference here though. Melvin came out of no where where sandso has been a part of the x2 community for a long while. I guess what I'm trying to say is that sandso can be trusted because he's earned it.
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
then if hes been here for a while, why not get him an x2 for his friend?
[Motorola Droid X2] andyw123:
Well, I have a dx2 that I would consider donating to someone who is going to use it to benefit the community, I believe it has a bad esn, but I would need another phone to replace it. Must be android, and must be better than the htc desire (which i actually like). Would love another type of phone that is android with a large screen 4+ inches. Not really looking for the original droid, but would consider anything as long as it can be modded or at least can but miui on it as I am now addicted to that.

If anyone is interested, let me know.
[Motorola Droid X2] CadenH:
That's what he's doing, he's buying an x2, or if anyone wants to donate he's open to that too.
