[Motorola Droid X2] three west:
how would you say battery life is clif? comparable to the old X2?

I don't see myself dropping $600 for the dev edition, but $100 for the regular one is pretty darn lucrative.

I'm a moderate user, and the X2 has always been fine, so the appeal of saving $100 and having a slightly slimmer device sound good.

I dropped VZW (bill was always different and constantly increasing) and went to AT&T. Currently have the LG Nitro HD running HO!NO! Full Throttle CM9 OC to 1836mhz and uv -75 bottom to top. Love it and my bill doesn't fluctuate. :D

Havent been on the x2 forums in a while. thought I'd drop by and saw this thread. I had an x2, wasn't for me, picked up a gnex and absolutely love it. Getting old now, but the time I've had with it has been great. Tons of ROMs, pretty snappy, great screen. One of the first phones to get all the updates. If u want to stay off contract, getting one of these on eBay is the way to go. If not, you might want to wait for the next Samsung phone. Won't be a nexus, but will likely be quad core. This phone turned me into a Samsung fanboy. Picking up a nexus 10 next week.
[Motorola Droid X2] csking33:
Yeah I ended up buying one off eBay. Got it and activated it today. Man this thing is nice, even stock is incredible. It's sad that manufacturers feel the need to wreck phones with skins.

Got to say I'm digging my Bionic now that ICS is OTA and SafeStrap 3 is out. For those not familiar with safestrap it is the recovery for the bionic. Up to 4 rom slots + 1 for stock. Switching between roms takes a couple of seconds and the ui is all touch based. No more having to use volume and power buttons. :D

Note 2

I'm still running my dx2 on eclipse 2.3. I'm technolusting the Note 2 for my Verizon contact device. I bought an galaxy x2 Skyrocket for my wife to drop her Sim into. I love the Cm10 nightlies for that device and was hoping to run similar roms on my note 2 once I get it.
[Motorola Droid X2] layvin1:
Was going to to use the Moto rebate and get an RAZR HD. After an hour or so in the store waiting on my sister to upgrade from an X2 to a SGS3...I couldn't quit using this phone and it was on sale for $50 minus VZ giving me $26 for the X2 = $24 new phone. :thumbup::eek::D

I know LG was behind in making some nice Android devices and needed to catch up ...they hit a home run with this phone. Check it out in person if you get a chance. Some Developers have already jumped on it so some good things will happen soon as far as custom ROMs.

I'm leaning heavily towards the big 3 (sg3, note II, N4), but I will take your advice into account. Does it have CM or PA yet?
[Motorola Droid X2] layvin1:
PA is not in the works as of right now that I know of . CM 10 is and also a clean full function ICS (not LG's version). Of course this means we have Root and Recovery already.

I tell ya...I know hardware wise the Samies are amazing. The N² is a lot bigger than you think and is really expensive right now, but its really awesome. The GS³ is a ants ass bigger than the LG Spec²(4.7 vs.4.8). But the GS³ feels cheaply built. Its pretty much all plastic. Also the screen brightness is limited a lot lower than most devices on purpose to save on battery. Its barely just bright enough in bright outdoor light. The RAZR devices are built like tanks but are sealed up with no option of replacement batteries and are still a little overpriced in my eyes. Good luck to ya. :thumbup::beer:;)

I got a Galaxy S3, It is an awesome touchscreen android device but it absolutely SUCKS as a phone. It's impossible to hear cause it's too damn quiet, the radio SUCKS, the battery life SUCKS and honestly the ONLY thing I missed about it was the 4g speed (when I actually HAD signal)

I went back to the X2. I freaking LOVE this phone. I just want an X2 with more ram and 4G. I like that it's heavy, and metal. I like that I can run it over with a truck, get mad and throw it at a brick wall and the damn battery door doesn't even come off. This phone is a freakin TANK and screw this stupid trend of making everything thinner.

I had my S3 replaced once because I rolled over it crawling through a floor while it was in my pocket and it broke the LCD panel without scratching or damaging any other part of the phone. I could probably snap that POS in half with three fingers. a phone can NOT be that weak in construction.

that and I could hardly get it away from a damn outlet. what the hell is the point of having a cellular phone if you're still always stuck tethered to 6 foot long cord. if anything, they should have included a 15ft USB cord with it just so you could have some freedom of motion while using it... and where did all that power go anyway? sure didn't go into the radio or the speaker, that's for damn sure!

I paid full retail for that shiity "phone" too, just to keep my unlimited data.

oh yeah, and HDMI. I just assumed the S3 would have that, you know, since it's supposed to be the most amazing thing out there? I think I'd rather have an iPhone5, and I hate apple more than hitler hated the jews.

</rant>
[Motorola Droid X2] Ryno77:
I love my s3 and have absolutely no issue with it. You live in the middle of nowhere or something? I would not go back to the x2 after this unless I was extremely poor and desperate.

I don't know what the hell people are doing to drain the battery on the s3 but one charge will last me 2 days if I'm off from work. My guess is you live in bfe and your phone was having issues searching for signal.
[Motorola Droid X2] MunkinDrunky:
I jumped to the note ii. Other than sweet roms- im running beans rom now, battery life is something I dont worry about anymore. 2-5 days is pretty standard for me. I played Game Boy on an emulator for 6 hrs and my phone still lasted for 3 days total. X2 was rock solid and it feels so small now :).
[Motorola Droid X2] Cheapxj:
Can you read? Tampa, FL is certainly not BFE.

had no better luck in philly, dc, burlington vt, atlanta, denver, orlando, miami, nyc, jersey city

that "phone" sucks, maybe I got a dud, but for what one needs an actual phone to do, it did miserably, and the audio hardware in it was junk as well. poor quality audio, and three of my close friends got them too, and when I talk to all of them, they are certainly less clear and audible than they were before, and it just so happens that one is t-mobile, one is verizon and the other is on sprint. all equally noticably worse audio in actual phone calls.

It is an undeniable fact that the X2 gets better reception. when I went to bfe pennsylvania to go visit family over the holiday, the s3 was unusable. that's when the X2 went back online.

I bought another s3 after my first one got stolen, and it wasn't any different so well, no. and I am certainly far from "poor" but I took it back anyway.

i actually just bought another X2 that isn't all smashed up until I can find a suitable 4g replacement, but so far no good.

I wish the LG revolution wasn't such a piece of **** software/development wise because it's the only phone Ive held since the X2 that didn't feel like a cheap piece of ****.

I was EXTREMELY disappointed that my $750 galaxy S3 felt like a $10 toy phone. the goddamn fake plastic CB mike in my power wheels jeep from when I was a little kid felt like it had better build quality.
[Motorola Droid X2] layvin1:
My sister upgraded to the GS3 from an X2 the same day I up to my LG Spectrum² from an X2 and she complained about the reception on it the next day. Said it wouldn't hardly pick up at her home like the X2 did. That's been her only complaint though.

My LG Spectrum² has been a great find to me, cause I was one who loved the X2 and wanted the look and feel of its shape and build strength. This was the only one in the whole VZ store that felt like it to me. The Spec is solid.... I don't have a case yet( waiting for delivery) and dropped it today on a gym floor... It fell out of my hoodie pocket and made several tumbles, the battery cover stayed on, no glass damage at all and no scratches on it anywhere.

I won't say yet that its as strong as the X2 cause the X2 went to the bottom of a river twice while kayaking and never quit working...of course the hybrid case I has for it helped with that.

There is development happening for the LG Spec² so if you get a chance to check one out in a store you might just find a worthy X2 replacement that won't break the bank......or maybe not...who knows.

[Motorola Droid X2] bad bone:
The only thing that I can say about this is that the s3s radio doesn't seem as well built as on my motos but other than that it blows my other phones out of the water and I always buy a good case so I have no idea about durability

don't be scared it's only a phone :)

[Motorola Droid X2] Ryno77:
Lol, sorry didn't see you were in Tampa. I honestly have no problems with the s3. Maybe the reception is worse but where I am it must still be good enough for me to not notice a difference. I think the audio is fine... It's way better than the x2. I asked my wife if she's able to tell any difference in sound quality when I call and she said no. She now also has the s3 and I think it sounds the same as before. I've dropped this phone twice on the cement and nothing broke. I don't want to argue but our experiences with the s3 are drastically different.
[Motorola Droid X2] Cheapxj:
the galaxy fascinate had better audio hardware than the s3, hell at least that could play two sounds at the same time. the s3 only samples at 11khz. my AM radio sounds better than that.

i did notice a HUGE difference when I removed my otterbox, but then i broke the damn LCD.

i never had to worry about being careful with the X2.

oh, and yet again, pentile LCD. That was yet another disappointment related to the S3.

but I also spend lots of time working in data centers, server rooms and other wonderful sources of interference

I think my singal/battery disappointments are just a function of design trends along with how LTE works. if it weren't for the screens, you could actually power a 3g phone off the radio signal alone. LTE, not so much. I really miss that speed right now since I'm trying to pull in a 12 gig download over a ****ty hotel wifi connection in detroit (my 3g is actually slightly faster than the hotels wifi) but i can't just leave my phone sit on the table thethering for a day and a half.

I'm gonna hit up the VZW store today and check out that underrated LG that was mentioned. but then again, I loved the fact that the X2 was a "bulky" phone from day one. it's the perfect size for my hand with the 3800mah battery and bigass cover and I like that when i hold it to my ear with my shoulder people can still hear me (could NEVER do that with the S3)

i wanna play with the droid DNA though to be honest (my selling point on the X2 was more pixels than any other phone at the time), although my previous experiences with HTC makes me believe that after the MyTouch 3G, every htc phone i had after that was, well, crappy. (the damn internal flash memory in my mt3g started developing bad blocks and it was still under my contract period)

Cmon moto, just make me a Droid X4G! w/ a 1920x1200 screen, 4gb ddr3 ram, snapdragon s4 and a ten pound battery that lasts a freakin month. quit makin phones for little girls!

My Verizon contract is up in december,(ugh), and I'll be switching over to straight talk. I will probably try and buy a used galaxy nexus GSM or galaxy s2 and put a straight talk sim card in it. To my knowledge, I think that will work. I may start a new thread asking if this is possible. I might be able to get a good deal on a galaxy s3 by then.

I was trying to prevent certain albums from showing up in the music app. I've been googling for a while but haven't found out anything.

At least I've tried to put a "." (ie, a dot) in front of the folder name that I wanted to hide and it works! :good: Didn't try with a single file though.

I thought to share in case someone was interested!
[Galaxy S II General] belerephont:
Best wishes for the new thread!

As I posted in the modems thread: "Thanks for the BVLP7 composition but no H+ signal. Unless its only a matter of icon."

Flashed your BVLP7 combo but only getting H sing.. No H+ anymore.. Any ideas? Could it be a rom issue?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] hawkerpaul:
Different modems work better for different regions/carriers.

I'm in the UK on Orange with BVLP7 and get H+ fine.

So it seems does ApriliaM3, who I believe is in Thailand.

As with all modems, its a case of trying to find out which one works best for you.

Matching the RIL is not a magic cure for all (if at all) but it will at least give the modem the best chance for it to work as intended.
[Galaxy S II General] iron@ss:
Nice one Hawker old boy! :D

Whilst I cannot say that my signal has changed, and nor would I expect it to, but I am hoping that by having a compatible RIL I will have less wakelocks and thus improve my battery life.

Thanks for this thread and keep up the good work. :good:
[Galaxy S II General] tuniel:
just for info, with the config as my signature and your BVLP7 CWM file, i also get the H+ just fine. (btw, i'm in the Netherlands and for me BVLP7 is the best modem so far).

Just tried your BVLPE combo and I now do get H+ icon as supposed to be. Will keep this for a few days and see how it goes as a modem..

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] citytrader:
Great thread Paul!...

about PBVLP7, I had the same problem with H instead H+ and after testing is not an icon problem, it dont work in H+.

The strange thing is that is from Orange and Android 4.0.3, the newer Android 4.0.4 comes with BVLPE, but this is for I9100 and not P variant so maybe we have to wait the 4.0.4 P variant

Another curious thing, I'm in Mexico a for Mexico in the last 4.0.4 there is the modem LPH+RIL, but this modem work much worse than BVLPE+RIL...
[Galaxy S II General] hawkerpaul:
Cheers mate :)

I'm in the UK on Orange, but BVLP7 works great for me. I get H+ regularly!

When doing BVLP7 Fast Dormancy testing (*#0011#) I get correct drops from DCH to FACH to PCH, with an eventual drop to IDLE.

I tested BVLPE for FD, and it seems to go mostly from DCH directly down to IDLE. (this will probably be more battery friendly for users who hardly ever use the internet when outside of wifi range)

Apart from this, BVLP7 and BVLPE seem pretty much identical in terms of signal for me.
[Galaxy S II General] citytrader:
Here are the UHLPH (comes with lastest UHLPV firmware) and XXLPS using your script.
[Galaxy S II General] hawkerpaul:
Brilliant! Thanks mate

:good:

Interesting to see UHLPH also has a libsecril-client-sap.so file.

Only this and BVLPE has this file up to now.
[Galaxy S II General] citytrader:
Thanks I have know for the first time *#0011#, I have note this strang thing... when the phone is in H, RRC State goes to idle, when it change to H+

is remains stuck in DCH... strange...
[Galaxy S II General] hawkerpaul:
DCH means it is currently in its highest volume data transfer rate.

"normal" FD behaviour should then downgrade states in the following manner:

DCH -> FACH -> PCH and then eventually to IDLE

Ideally it should remain at PCH for a while in case more data transfer is required.

Probably is a Getril bug, because that combination is that comes from the original firmware I9100OXALPS, the RIL Modem you flashed is correct
[Galaxy S II General] tuvi123:
hawkerpaul

I think you should just add that:

ICS RIL (libsec-ril.so) will not work on GB rom (you will get no service), I think it's because libril.so is different

so if you include libril.so in you modem+ril zips then I think it will work but I don't know if it will cause problems or not.

also libril.so is maybe different on 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 but I did not check it.

do you see any difference in reception on the same modem with difference rills?
[Galaxy S II General] hawkerpaul:
Ok thanks mate. I'll amend the first post.

I don't think a matching modem/ril will mean a better reception, but there is a better chance of it operating more efficiently (hopefully fewer wakelocks so saving on battery). Some have noticed H+ reception where previously they got none etc.

Now added XXLQ6

Hi.

The newest nordic stock rom has the following info;

GT-I9100	Nordic countries	2012 September	Android 4.0.4	I9100XWLPX	I9100NEELP5

I believe there is no package with this combination. Could you please make such a package..

By the way im using JB now (Slim Bean 2.4) and not ICS anymore, so I am not sure if I should change modem or keep the existing Slim Bean modem.
[Galaxy S II General] citytrader:
LPX comes with modem XXLQ6, by the way, there is no official JB RIL at the moment, so try any modem-RIL combination, it doesn't matter what modem and RIL combination are you putting with JB, only matter if you are under 4.0.4 or 4.0.3.
[Galaxy S II General] jaykay0079:
I downloaded I9100TDULP4 Modem RIL but the getRIL stil report that the RIL I got installed is I9100DXLPA and RIL/baseband doesn't match.

Did you even read the first post of this thread? There are complete instructions included there.
[Galaxy S II General] rogers11:
But this does not explain why the Modem/RIL combinations in the first post do not provide matching combinations.

I installed XXLQ6 (4.0.4) yesterday and got RIL I9100XWLPO

jaykay0079 installed I9100DULP4 and got RIL I9100DXLPA

The RIL included in XXLQ6 (4.0.4) does also not match the one that I can extract from the LPX NEE ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] ApriliaM3:
The post I referred to had the following information:

"by the way, there is no official JB RIL at the moment, so try any modem-RIL combination, it doesn't matter what modem and RIL combination are you putting with JB, only matter if you are under 4.0.4 or 4.0.3. "

---------- Post added at 04:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------

I have created this ZSLPQ Modem / RIL combo and uploaded it to the Dev-Host mirror in the OP

You will find it under the Android 4.0.4 sub-directory

HERE

For some reason SamFirmware.com lists this modem as Android 4.0.3 but it's later than ZSLPP (4.0.4) and has the 4 RIL files usually only found in 4.0.4 releases so that's where I've stored it.

If anyone can provide further info on why this modem should be listed under Android 4.0.3 I will move it there :)

@hawkerpaul: you might like to link this new combo in the OP
[Galaxy S II General] rogers11:
??? I was referring to XXLQ6 (4.0.4) and I9100DULP4 (4.0.3) not JB.
[Galaxy S II General] ApriliaM3:
Yes but my original reply (which for some reason you quoted) was to jaykay0079 and not to you.

He is running JB which was why I was trying to draw his attention to the quoted post.
[Galaxy S II General] rogers11:
OK, but you answered my post with the same information.

I only wanted to know why the posted Modem/RIL combinations do not provide matching combinations. I thought this is the purpose of this thread. :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] mattisfaction:
If you're using Getril to see if things are matched, maybe it is not identifying the combination, does it say unknown or mismatch. If the latter, try reinstalling the modem and ril combination. If still no match don't know why things are not matched mate? Have not tried or used that combination.
[Galaxy S II General] rogers11:
I wrote that XXLQ6 (4.0.4) provides RIL I9100XWLPO

jaykay0079 wrote that I9100DULP4 provides RIL I9100DXLPA

No one wrote something about unknown or mismatch.
[Galaxy S II General] ApriliaM3:
Yeah my answer was more to clarify my original post that you quoted rather than to answer your query.

Certainly it is the purpose of this thread to create matching Modem / RIL flashable mods...

I'm only hosting the files in question though... I didn't make them so I cannot really answer you.

I'm sure the author / authors will respond to you soon.
