I highly doubt any phone that launched on 2.3 still waiting for 4.x will be getting a 5.0 update. Phones regularly get 1 major update and that's it. the RAZR will be EOL by the time JB comes out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
This. I just said this in another thread. Most phones get 1 solid update to the next OS (if they launch close to that update btw). This means any phone today that gets ICS will be forgotten about on the next go around. Even phones with ICS at launch like the HTC One X may not get Jelly Bean officially. HTC is pretty good at updates but Motorola isn't.

Motorola's do have sweet radios though. I'm not feeling the MAXZ though

Asus TF101 ICS 4.0.3

ive had both nexus is better nuff said
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BeardedB:
Look guys the power of the galaxy nexus. In downtown NYC at full bars
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VinceT3:
Eh hem, I said it wasn't DIRECTLY supported from Google.

The "yakju" builds come directly from GOOGLE, so if we unlock our boot loader, put on a new version of the software then yes we will get a pure google ANDROID version.

However the other issue is CDMA updates are verizon specific and there's where "my" problem exists. Such is the life of having verizon.

And there's my CLUE sir. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diablospeed:
I love the comment that the MOTOROLA device will have fully functional aosp 4.0 roms. First off, the device runs ginger bread... and this phone already has fully functional aosp roms! When Google releases the source for 4.0.4 we will have roms on that platform also. I think the fan boys for Motorola devices are brain washed. They are ugly, old, and discontinued within weeks sometimes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MMcCraryNJ:
No, he was right. You DO need to get a clue.

The LTE Galaxy Nexus IS directly supported by Google, despite what happened with inclusion into AOSP. AOSP inclusion has nothing to do with updates. I think you need to research what actually happened versus buying into the FUD that people were posting about when it happened.

And stop misleading other people. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbakid2000:
I'm kind of at the same point - wanting to know whether to go with Nexus or Maxx. I'm a battery life whore, so I can get an extended battery for Nexus. The only issue holding me back with Nexus is the camera - is it as bad as all the reviews I've read have said?

I also have the choice of remaining on Sprint (ugh) and getting a Samsung Galaxy S2 and having the phone hacked and put it on Verizon's towers. I can also get an extended battery for that phone as well. I really like what I've heard about the phone but it's on Sprint (though, again, I can theoretically put it on Verizon's towers). There's a local store around here that will input the codes to Verizon onto a Sprint phone so you can use their network instead.

Any thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marceldy:
with all these apps and tweaks available for nexus i would say NEXUS FTW !

*post 1*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Galaxy Maxx if the only thing important to you is the battery. Also, if you do not like to tinker with your phone. The GN for everything else. Also, I believe the Maxx only has a QVGA screen. I would not settle for anything less then 720p anymore.

I have gotten some great shots with the camera. As long as you hold down to focus the picture will come out fine. If you rapid shot, not so much...

Also, dark lit rooms are not the best pics. The flash does help a lot but it gives red eye out of the kazoo! Picsay Pro is your friend in those instances though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbakid2000:
I'm probably going to go get a Nexus today and get an extended life and put a battery saving ROM on it. The Motorola is nice but from what I've read, they don't support their phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BeardedB:
I think the Galaxy MAXX was discontinued.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Haha, if they made a Galaxy Maxx I would buy it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aliensquale:
I currently am on Verizon and have the Samsung Droid Charge... I've had the phone since the day it came out.. and right now I'm running (and have been for quick a while) the Humble 5 rom...

but overall the phone is still pretty slow, bad battery life and way too little RAM...

I'm wondering... since I can get an upgrade now.. should I upgrade to what phone? and what's the next best phone right around the corner that maybe I should wait for instead?

btw.. I WILL BE putting a custom rom on the phone... no doubts.. it drastically iimproves the performance over stock!!!! (at least speaking from my currend Droid Charge experience).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCRoadster:
If you like custom roms, get the Nexus. The support is amazing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Just read that the RazrMaxx battery fits a regular Razr + Maxx cover.

So you could but a normal razr and the battery/cover on eBay = win?
[HTC Amaze 4G] lojak29:
I just got the amaze for the second time..... Never cared to notice before but I think for being htc and htc is well known for its quality hardware but terrible battery life.. I was in awe over the battery life for it on a first time full charge !!

Off charge at 7 am and heavy usage till 3pm and with 70% battery left after 8hr..

Reallyy!!!!

All my evos and mytouch devices in the past on OTHER CARRIERS were dead by 12 Noon!!

Maybe htc got it right with this phone.. I'm really content with stock Rom , which makes me wonder how much better can it get with this talk about Energy 03.10.12 Rom....being stellar Battery life!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Energy is nice. I get great battery life. But if you're content with stock then just roll with that.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
How in the world. I get 7 hours with intermediate use.....compared to every else's I feel like I night have a faulty battery
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
I can kill my battery in 7 hours if I use it really heavy, or make it last 24+ hours with little to no use... It really varies and "usage amount" is all relevant
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
wait till you install some apps lol...I had the same experience out of the box
[HTC Amaze 4G] lojak29:
Ya now I see first day was great .. now at 63% in 2 hours with juice defender even.... wtf??
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrgwap:
Yeah phone is very nice battery sucks. My roommate has the s2. He listens to music , has gps ,on 4g on texts a few here and there from 6am to 3pm batt on 75 percent I'm like wtf. My **** gose to 100 to 62 % in a hour and a half and I have the 1950 mah batt Agh
[HTC Amaze 4G] JesseMT4G:
I just literally hit the yellow mark in my battery department, which means 30% left. I took off charger at 9 am and is now 800 pm and I have streamed quite a bit of music, about 20 texts and a few calls, little web such as this very forum.

Even forgot to turn off my BT. So going on almost 11 hours. I should get my usual 10-15 hours of use. All on stock.
[HTC Amaze 4G] lamenramen:
The only phone that I've ever owned that poor battery life that could compete with the Amaze's battery life is the original Evo.

In other words, The Amaze's battery life is tied for the worst that I've ever seen from a phone. Any phone.

Custom ROMs should improve things, as will the Anker battery so I hear. I'm going to test these theories.

My goal is to get equivalent usage compared to other Android phones. That will be my standard, not trying to squeeze 24 hours of continuous video watching or something like that. Right now on stock, with my standard usage patterns, it's dead in 8 hours tops. (Again, my other phones would not have been dead)
[HTC Amaze 4G] dasudevil:
I'm am with you all. I have my days with this thing including the update to ics. I am ranging from 5 hrs to 15hrs. Yes they are the exact same usage. Minimum 1 hr of net, 20 minutes of you tube and about 6hrs of podcast or music. During this time I have the settings at : screen set as low as possible via widget thing and auto sync. Guess it depends on how the battery feels.

Forgot to add these results are from work. 12 hr shifts. 6 hours I am able to use continuously. The rest of the time its on breaks and sits in my locker.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Tech71:
Yeah last better than the custom Roms I've been using. In fact the new stock leak runs better then any Rom I've tried. Now to unlock and root. :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] JesseMT4G:
Like glacier said earlier, it just depends on usuage. If at a sit down job and nothing to do but play on your phone, it is easy to drain about any phone.

I used to drain my BB 9700 in 8 hours with constant use, with tons of apps on it. That was considered one of the best phones out for battery life. Thing is when idle a lot, I could get an easy 24 hours off it, sometimes even close to two days.

Just depends how you use it. I can kill my Amaze in 6 hours, but again I average between 10-15 hours stock.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ed116:
from usage, i get the best battery life on stock, i had BP before i reverted to stock, and BP was the worst i had in battery life, my list goes like

1. Stock

2. Sense 3.5 RC 1.7

3. Bp

stock is great for me, when idle for 7-8 hours it only drops 2% at most not 20% like BP or not 5-10% liek sense 3.5, gonna stick to stock as i dont need 'root' access, i just use the phone for video, music, talk, text, and browsing

[HTC Amaze 4G] Loose4Bruce:
I'm am extremely disappointed with the battery life on my HTC amaze.

Today for example, it was fully charged at 6 am.

I sent a couple texts, talked for less than 5 minutes, and did nothing else.

I had to plug it in by noon because the battery bar turned orange????

I carry 2 spare batteries in my purse.
[HTC Amaze 4G] broker32:
I jave anker and I'm on my 3rd cycle. So far the battery life is slightly worse than stock for me.

I'm running speedrom which is supposed to have better battery life, but so far I can't tell the difference and I'm a moderate user.

Has anyone tried the siine keyboard...I downloaded it today and trying it out...its nie for those commonly typed phrases...takes a bit of getting used to though...let me know what you think if you try it out
[Motorola Droid X2] Superm@π:
I didn't like it. Once you've been using Swype for to long you can't use anything else. Damn you Swype!!!
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
I read the little Featured Apps article and Siine looks very promising. I might give it a try.

Is it anything like Swype? That method of typing is just...weird. It is so hard to get used to it.
[Motorola Droid X2] Superm@π:
No it's nothing like Swype but it's just as hard to get used to.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
I downloaded the latest version of Swype after not using it for the past few months, and so far so good, Im enjoying it. Siine is downloading right now and hopefully its cool.

[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
This is...kind of not difficult but different. Getting used to the keyboard will take awhile. It is very easy to enter short phrases and times. Creating your own is equally as easy but the ergonomics of the keyboard arent to my liking.

Maybe I'll look at it again in the future.

Any tips to getting onto the swipe train?
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Really, just hop on. Swype's keyboard doesnt restrict you to just swyping so you can go back and forth with ease.

A point that might be relevant: when I tried using swype 6 months ago, I wasnt using Dolphin Browser. I mention DB b/c it has a gesture feature simliar to swype's where you can assign gestures to web addresses. I believe DB helped me get acclimated to Swype's gesture typing.

Also, you should at least read part of the tutorial after you download the app; it is actually helpful.

I use the Smart KB, in part, for the cursor keys can I do that with Swipe?

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tushaar Talwar:
Hi,

First post here, so I hope I'm posting at the right place.

Just bought an unlocked Samsung Omnia W (Focus Flash stateside) around four days ago. I didn't notice anything about the battery life the first two days since I was using it quite heavily and felt the rapid discharge was normal (the usual rigmarole- everything turned on).

Last two days, I've started using services more selectively, and still see my battery discharging at an alarming rate. I'm talking 5-8% in an hour with barely a minute or so of the screen being on for checking texts and sending a few.

I've disabled everything- location services, ALL live tiles, WiFi, Bluetooth, even went as far as to disable 3G and switched to 2G. I switched back to 3G because where I'm at I get a full 3G signal but a very light 2G signal. I've put off all background services (Gmapps was the only one, I uninstalled it). Turned off Xbox Live connection as well. Turned off facebook chat. Removed the People Tile. Three email accounts set to sync "as mail arrives".

I noticed the battery saver screen was showing me only 3 hours on 48% charge. I then completely discharged the battery through WPBench battery test (which showed 52 minutes starting at 25% battery life). Now, I've been charging it for an hour or so, and the battery saver screen shows 22% and estimates only 1 hour as the run time.

Is my battery defective? The WPBench time of 52 minutes for 25% seemed par for the Focus Flash (Engadget gave it a run time of 3 hours 30 on WP bench I think), but this fast discharge is really baffling and makes me kind of afraid to use the phone too much. I've heard the Flash has stellar battery life, so if anyone can throw some light on the matter, that would be great.

By the way, updated to 8107 two days ago through Zune. Normal usage consists of 30-40 texts a day, an hour of calls max and maybe 10-15 minutes of browsing. Battery saver screen usually shows only 9-10 hours on a full charge, though it does last a bit longer than that (14-16 hours). I'm sure such light usage doesn't warrant such a quick discharge.

I apologize if this makes for a really long read, first time here.

Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voluptuary:
First, battery saver gives times based on previous data so it will get more accurate with time. Second, the battery will get better after about of week of use, it takes a little time to 'break in.' Third, if you are in an area that has poor reception your phone will try to find a signal a lot more and this can drain power quite a bit. Fourth, try returning everything to normal as far as background agents, email sync, and data settings ect. but turn 'battery saver' on after a full charge. If you still have bad battery life then perhaps somethng is wrong with your battery/phone.

EDIT: if you are using 'light' as your theme you will use a lot more power since amoled screens work best with black bacgrounds since the black areas are essentally 'off'
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tushaar Talwar:
Been using a dark tile. Let's see how it handles with time.

A lot of my friends with Android phones simply keep data off since their batteries barely last if it's on, do I need to take any such harsh measures with WP? I hope not, I like my mail to arrive immediately (I have set sync on "as mail arrives").
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Push email (the "as mail arrives" setting) is actually a very substantial power-drain. Setting it to even just every few minutes (5? 15? I forget what the next level down is) will help.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tushaar Talwar:
I may be wrong, but won't it cost less battery if the phone was getting push mail, say, three times a day for 3 separate mails as compared to checking every hour 24 times a day?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Why would you think that? The phone doesn't magically know when email is available for it, to only wake up the email sync process and data connection then and leave them off the rest of the time. It has to maintain a continuous (or nearly - often enough that you don't notice the gap) connection to the server. Even idle, any kind of live data connection uses more power than a process which stays suspended 99.9% of the time (meaning 86.4 seconds of activity per day, which is probably a pretty good estimate actually).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renatofontes:
I thought push email and other kind of push notifications were sent from the server to the phone, and so the phone didn't have to be constantly checking for email updates...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
The phone needs to be listening for those notifications. That requires running the radio (for data) at a higher-than-minimum level. Push notifications have a similar impact to push email, in terms of battery life. It's not hugely destructive - I have two email accounts that use push, and still tend to get through the day and then a bit just fine - but it does impact the battery life.

Hi folks;)

I just bought a gorgeous lumia 800 from the telecom NZ today.

I really love the design of the phone and the amoled screen.

I used to use the Omnia 7 so I also know that WP mango is so sweet:)

Buy there is one problem that I can't find the Nokia music on marketplace or my app list!!

why is it invisible here in NZ?? I don't know why.... Please let me know how to download it!
[Nokia Lumia 800] signzero:
Nokia Music is not available in New Zealand atm. Only way you can get it is through side loading the app which is unlikely unless your phone is developer unlocked or else you have to flash another countries firmware that does have Nokia Music pre installed.
[Nokia Lumia 800] jorkobe23:
Oh I see. That's why it is not even visible in marketplace. Thank you for the information:)

[Motorola Atrix 2] fire_fist_ace:
Hi guys,

I've just recently acquired an atrix 2, and soon after i rooted installed GO Launcher, but still running stock ROM. This morning i switched back to the stock homescreen, then i was using titanium backup to freeze Go Launcher, then the screen suddenly went blank.

It still shows the top status bar and i can pull down the notifications window, but nothing else. Whatever app i launch from recent, it still remains blank.

How do i fix this?? Any help at all is appreciated :)

EDIT 1: I think its still trying to run Go Launcher coz i can auto-rotate the home screen, which stock home screen cant. I already froze 3 or so widgets so thats why its crashing but how do i fix this?

EDIT 2: Think theres abit more to this. When i try emergency calling at the pattern unlock page, it wont go to the keypad. Is it possible to flash the phone with stock ROM? I had the usb mode selected to charge-only when i rooted the phone, and now i cant change it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Chrisruns:
Delete Go Launcher off of your phone. Unfreeze it.

You might want to download home switcher, it's an app that makes it easier to switch back and forth.

As far as flashing your phone to 2.3.5 that's possible.

Here's how to do it. (Taken from the Noob thread)

STEPS:

1) Have the correct Motorola drivers installed for your PC (i.e. x32-bit or x64-bit).

Here is the Motorola Driver site

http://www.motorola.com/consumers/v/...D&pubid=987654

2) Download RSD Lite & install on your PC.

Here is the latest version to download (RSD Lite 5.6)

http://xdaforums.com/atta...7&d=1321414457

3) Choose the FXZ file to download

Android 2.3.5 ---- Blur_Version.55.11.16.MB865.ATT.en.US

InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID28 5.zip

http://www.fileserve.com/file/erjAuT...PBP_CID285.zip

or

www.multiupload.com/W3UH3W5LU0

4) Make sure you alternatively boot into AP Fastboot mode by powering down (or pulling battery), then press and hold the volume up and down button while powering on.

5) Plug your phone into a back USB port on your computer.

Front USB ports are often unreliable when it comes to power levels. They should not be used for flashing.

6)Run “RSD Lite” on your computer

7)Press the “. . .” button next to the box labeled “Filename”

8)Browse and open the FXZ file or just just drag the FXZ file onto the file path bar in RSD Lite

9)Wait for the program to read the file, then choose “START”

10) Now, the device will slowly flash the FXZ file. BE PATIENT AS THIS MAY TAKE A WHILE!

11) Congratulations! You’ve restored your ATRIX 2!!
[Motorola Atrix 2] fire_fist_ace:
I cant actually see anything on the screen apart from the status bar at the top, and the notifications bar when i pull it down :( I already had home switcher on the phone, i had just switched to stock launcher and tried to freeze GO Launcher.

So how do i delete/Unfreeze it then? isnt there some PC file manager or something to access the apps on the phone and delete them by USB cable?

Also, If i flashed 2.3.5 on it, i would loose everything on it right?
