[Motorola Droid X2] genpat:
So I no longer have a DX2 (stolen and irretrievable) and I'll have to be replacing it with something else, any good suggestions for phones off-contract (not upgrade eligible until December) possibly used?

Thanks for any suggestions, been a good time using the DX2 with all of the help from here but unfortunately a new, and hopefully not as handicapped, phone is on my horizon.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
The HTC Rezound has an unlocked bootloader so that might worth looking into. Of course, the Nexus and S2 are beasts and should be considered.

I myself have been looking at the Galaxy Note as its perfect for my hands and great for Netflix and gaming.
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
I'm really leaning towards the HTC Rezound as my next phone, but I've heard good things about the Galaxy Nexus as well.

The one thing holding me back from the Nexus is the lack of an SD Card slot. I have a 32gb class 10 MicroSD card that houses my music and also serves currently as my X2's internal SD card, so my apps are installed on that as well. So, I'm leaning heavily towards the Rezound.
[Motorola Droid X2] hpark21:
Depending on how much you plan to spend..

From non-4G phones (cheaper), Droid Inc 2 can be had on CL for less than $100 once in a while. It was best phone that I had so far even though on the paper X2 is faster with dual core and all, with 756MB of ram and probably the cheapest phone among that are guaranteed (so far) to receive ICS, it SHOULD hold you over until your upgrade comes up IMHO. (It has unlocked BL, so PLENTY of ROMs to pick over - Except MIUI unless you want to stick with old version.)
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
You still want a phone to communicate with- stay w/ Moto!
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
After researching further, I see more pluses with the Rezound over the Galaxy. Both have unlocked bootloaders, but the extra storage I could get with the Rezound over the Galaxy is a big plus. Also, the Rezound has a better rear camera (8mp vs. 5mp).

I know the Nexus comes with 16gb or 32gb internal memory, but no SDCard expansions lost. With the Rezound, you get 16gb internal memory plus with my 32gb card, I'm looking at a total of 48gb of memory. Can't beat that.

I do like that the Nexus also has the soft keys on the screen, while the Rezound doesn't as it uses the hard keys, but I can overlook that. I guess the only thing is, the screens seem smaller than my X2's, but the resolution is better.

I'll just have to wait and see when my upgrade comes, but it looks like I'm leaning towards the Rezound. As it is, I already told Motorola that I won't be purchasing their products anymore, so I need to hold true to my word, unless they unlock the bootloaders.

Also, even though the Nexus comes with ICS on it, the Rezound has already been confirmed as getting ICS, so I can wait knowing it will get it eventually.

The big selling point on either one though is definitely the unlocked bootloader.
[Motorola Droid X2] Moon Shadow - NM:
Dude, I am going to have to read every post you make... :D So far, with your research, I am now leaning towards an HTC. I WAS thinking about a Samsung, because of the Super Amoled screen, but, now... I'm leaning toward the Rezound... Thanks for the legwork! However, my upgrade comes in 1.5 years. :mad: Damn it.

Ciao!
[Motorola Droid X2] genpat:
I appreciate all of your responses. For a week I was stuck on my Blackberry 8330 (torture) until I was able to travel to Chicago this morning and just picked up a new Incredible 2.

Thanks to this whole community for your support on the X2. While I had it, it made it tolerable, and hopefully now I'm off to a better place. Good luck to all of you.
[Motorola Droid X2] RacerXFD:
Yea, but you still can't beat the support directly from Google for any future updates. It's nice to get a Galaxy Nexus and know that you have a reference phone.
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
Thanks for sharing. I am very curious about how the Dinc 2 sounds in phone use and radio reception in contrast to the x2?
[Motorola Droid X2] Sandso9:
Same as the OP i have left the X2 my self its still in my house just another family member is using it. I wish you guys luck i hope dragonz gets ics fully running on this phone :) as for me i went and got an iPhone 4S for a bit cause the x2 kinda killed android for me ill probably get another android phone in a year or so but i just wanna take a break sooo long guys ill poke in every now and then :)
[Motorola Droid X2] Ihatepullups:
I can answer that, as I also have had both phones. So the dx2 has better 3g and more bars everywhere. Sometimes I don't get 3g in places where I used to :( but I've never had a dropped call and call quality is mostly the same.

The freer culture of htc and the dinc2 is totally great, and worth the loss of service.

Another interesting thought - some dinc2'ers took copper wire and attached it to the 3g antenna to extend the antenna and reported better service, but I was hesitant to to do that.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Dude I fired up my bb storm today for kicks and Jesus Christ, that thing is baddddd
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
well I don't know about the inc 2 but I'm sitting here with my buddies original incredible, and it is pulling nearly the exact same speeds and signal as my x2, and I've made calls to my house phone using each of them and got the same quality in call sound/reception, and this is with around -90 »	-95 dbm signal strength,
[Motorola Droid X2] genpat:
One of my friends whom I talk with very frequently on the phone thought I had her on speaker the first time I called her from this phone. I haven't personally "tested" them against each other per se but that was a kind of odd first reaction.

As for radio reception, it appears it is down versus that of the X2 but I am having much better luck with wi-fi connectivity thus far. I use Google Voice for everything and my texting has been more than happy to take to the wi-fi. I will likely be testing GrooveIP on it soon to see how well that works; it was absolutely awful when I tried it on my X2.
[Motorola Droid X2] diaco1974:
I have the rezound currently and I would say I am very pleased with the phone. I came from a bionic after 2 X2 insurance replacement phones for my original X. The verizon reps seemed to be pushing the razer as the one to get. I felt I needed something non-moto for a change. The bionic was buggy to say the least. Verizon treated it as a warranty issue and I am happy to stay with them as my carrier.

Staying with Verizon meant getting a razer, galaxy nexus, rezound, or waiting for something else. Every rep at the store seemed to have the opinion that if I thought the bionic was buggy I should steer clear of the galaxy. I just couldn't bring myself to get another moto product. Overall, I've been happy with moto products and will probably purchase their products in the future. Just felt like trying something different after the og droid>droid x>droid x2>bionic.

I spent a decent amount of time checking out all three phones next to each other at a Verizon store. All three have great looking screens. The nexus and the rezound benefit from 720 resolution, whereas the razer has qhd resolution. I played a hd trailer for "300" on YouTube simultaneously on all three for comparison. The blacks were more black on the amoled nexusand razer screens. But the details were most crisp on the rezound. I believe the pixel density on the rezound is currently the highest available on any device, even the the new iPad. The rezound has a dual core 1.5Ghz processor, a gig of ram, an sd card slot and a removable battery. Why any phone lacks a removable battery and an sd card slot is beyond me.

I've been happy with my rezound in every way except one, accessories. At best buy there is a great selection of cases for the nexus and razer is extensive. Multiple brands and colors. Cases, batteries available for the rezound, zero zip nada. Certainly not a deal breaker for me, but something to think about.

My note is misbehaving. On speakerphone, want to end call, unresponsive screen/home button etc.

Anyone else having these issues? is there a program I can use to help e.g. assign home as call end?

Rom -stock LA4, CF root. Using Dialler One on a N7000 model.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] praetorius:
you can configure the home button to answer, power button to end the call.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
I've got an issue when minimising the call to look at something else, when I try to restore the call and then end it or try to do anything, it fades out to sleep. Only way to end call is to do so from the pull down shortcut.

Will try assigning hardware buttons.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] omniphil:
Hi guys,

I just made the move from a galaxy nexus to a galaxy note.

One of the things i've always been able to do on any of my previous android phones was to have a scroll-able wallpaper.

It seems the stock launcher does not have scrolling? I have also tried 3rd part launchers and they scroll, but its a zoomed in picture.

Is this some side effect of the really large resolution?

I've tried a couple of market apps to set wallpapers and they all do the same thing.

If I go back to the stock launcher then back to a third part launcher the image is fine, but not scroll-able.

Maybe this is because the stock launcher does not scroll, so the image in the 3rd party launchers is trying to scroll the smaller image?

There has to be some sort of edit that can make the wallpaper the correct wide size (1280x2400?) vs just 1280x800
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kevinjgray88:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Thremix:
launcher pro

1000% better.. and lag free
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bataga:
I asked this question before and someone referred me to wallpaper wizardrii. Won't work with factory wallpaper and won't scroll either. Download an HD wallpaper app like picspeed wallpapers, favorite (not save) any of the images you want to use later, then exit. Open wallpaper wizzardrii, click top right button, and and scroll down to "Favorite Picspeed Wallpapers". Choose the pic and play with the settings until it looks right on your screen. I shrink the photo all the way down, then use stretch landscape and it looks pretty damn good.

Launcher pro was not the answer for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
Wallpaper Set and Save in the market. Simple, small, non-intrusive, and sizes them perfectly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
that's the key (when using a different launcher) Use wallpaper wizardrii with the stretch or crop exact setting, and scroll checked.

I still have not found a way to make it scroll on the TW launcher.

I actually prefer mine not to scroll lol

for launcher pro you have to go into the settings and uncheck the no scroll option
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kevinjgray88:
Get Autosize DbD wallpaper set app from market. Works like a charm
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] omniphil:
Nice. That seemed to work good. Now if the OS can get the scroll function ebnabled. Though it seems ICS might be on the horizon, so this will all probably be fixed in ICS I would hope...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kevinjgray88:
For scrolling wallpapers the only launcher I have found that works is ashell.It is a pretty good little launcher. It runs pretty light and has some good custom options and transitions. Not gonna blow you away like TSF or SPB launchers, but it also is not 20 bucks

I've tried the usb cable with that supply and the phone seems to be charging. Given that the ipad supply is 10w instead of the 5 of the defy, will it charge faster or will just burn it?
[Defy Accessories] cickvoa:
you can charge. there are more threads like this, use search!
[Defy Accessories] Pluggedgamer:

[Defy Accessories] Alessandro71:
As an answer to my own question, it's been a week since I'm regularly using the ipad charger with the defy. I haven't noticed any drawbacks. No overheating, no screen oversensitivity. It even seems to charge a little faster.
[Defy Accessories] stanwise:
You can charge. It is the voltage that must match (and for USB it is standard and equal 5V) And the wattage of the supply(charger) should be greater or equal to the device's wattage.
[Defy Accessories] iolinux333:
i don't know about that. i just plugged in a 22,000 watt 5V supply. the phone exploded, blew out two windows of my house and the battery is still lodged in my ass. do you think i need to go to the ER?
[Defy Accessories] labsin:
If I use the power supply from HTC the touchscreen's response is bad. Drawing gestures on my lock screen doesn't work good. But I'm using if for over a year now, and had no problems. Guess it could be worse for my battery.
[Defy Accessories] RyanWyan:
Shouldn't be too hard!

You should be able to use the iPad power block with and USB cable... That's my understanding.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MapleSyrup:
I guess the confusion is for the file name, "SU.zip".

SU = super user = root

So, in the first thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1474971, the root file is "Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip"

In the second thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1239185, the root file is "Root.zip"

But, if you are going to put a custom ROM, most of them are rooted already, so no need to flash the root.zip (or whatever the root file is named).

I'm pretty sure the rooting method for most GTab's are the same, then again flashing a CWM would be more than enough to save your woe's with SU. Best bet would be Task/Kang/Overcome since those are all pre-rooted and root for the stock is well...not so grand.

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] magus57:
I've really been considering a T-Mobile Springboard lately, but getting it banks on the assumption that flashing ICS on it would unlock GSM voice/text, and let me use the Springboard as a phone by putting my T-Mobile USA SIM in it.

One person in the general discussion topic basically said that it would work, but I just want to make sure before I plop $300 on a device when I could have gotten a different tablet instead (likely the HTC Flyer 3G at ~$450). I'm assuming I'd have to delete the /efs folder to keep T-Mobile from picking up the IMEI and blocking the SIM with the voice plan on it, correct? And would I be expecting slower data speeds after flashing? I'm not concerned about that part, just wondering.

EDIT: And as the title suggests, I'm talking about the T-Mobile Springboard, not the international Huawei Mediapad.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] v35lee:
ICS and Phone work for my Springboard

I have a T-Mobile Springboard that I purchased on ebay. I just flashed the ICS in place of stock T-Mobile a couple of days ago. I had a T-mobile SIM for prepaid Mobile broadband, and got an error announcement when trying to use the new phone feature.

I called T-mobile and had my plan changed to a pay by the day plan just to check the phone functionality. It works great! I have only used it as speakerphone, but assume you could pair it with a Bluetooth headset.

Note - the IMEI from the Springboard will not work to set up a voice and data plan. T-Mobile rep said it was invalid for a voice plan and asked for another IMEI off another GSM phone. If you already have a SIM and plan for a smartphone you should be able to plug it in and go I expect.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] magus57:
Sweet, good to know, think I may have just decided on a tablet. And yeah, I'd be swapping the SIM in my current T-Mobile phone in and out for phone/data capability, not a separate plan for it.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] linux99x:
Yes it works great. Well worth it wont find a better deal
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] handisnacks:
I have a SIM card on T-Mobile for the Value Talk+Text+2GB. From what I read here, this will this work fine for the tablet with gsm voice?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] v35lee:
I have the same plan, and the voice does work. However, I am so far not able to get both voice and data to work on the plan. I really bought the thing to use over wifi but registered a T-mobile account to try out the phone feature and to allow me the ability to request a SIM unlock.

Just realized I had turned network data off and hadn't verified all three services worked together - so far the answer for me is no. I turned wifi off and network data on, and now I currently can get voice and text working but not internet over T-mobile network. Trying to open a webpage currently just sends me to the my.t-mobile login page.

I called T-mobile support and was told that since it is a tablet, they would not support both voice and data for it.

Is anyone else having luck with getting both voice and data over t-mobile network?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] magus57:
Thanks for the heads up, that was one of my main concerns...I hope there's a way to get all three working together...

Is there no ramification (on the phones software) for deleting that folder? Will the carrier just see it as a generic device?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] magus57:
I don't believe so, but you obviously want to back it up elsewhere anyway just in case, and I believe that's the idea of it (carrier unable to detect IMEI and therefore unable to restrict you in some way based off of it).
