[Droid X General] astraelraen:
I switched to a droid x from a fascinate. Gave the fascinate to my wife.

Fascinate screen is way more vibrant. Deeper blacks, brighter colors. The droid x screen is bright, but the colors don't pop out like the fascinate, and the black levels are nowhere near as deep.

I like the larger feel and the rubberized accents of the droid x, the fascinate was too small and slippery feeling.

The droid x camera doesn't do low light pictures as well as the fascinate in my opinion. The fascinate seemed to take pretty decent indoor pictures, most of the ones I've taken with the X are slighty blurry.

The X seems more polished to me. I had significantly more hangs and freezes with the fascinate. I don't think I've had a single hang or freeze with the X to date. Maybe that will get better on the fascinate with time and Froyo updates.

I felt like I could swype better on the X than the fascinate. Maybe the slight screen size difference helps out in typing.

I think the call quality on the X is better than the fascinate as well.

I think the fascinate has the potential to be an excellent phone with some updates, but the X is an excellent phone today.

The only thing that has me really "worried" about the X is the lack of true custom roms and if/when they will ever be available.

Summary- Scroll down to get a better description -------------------------------------

Droid X Pros:Gorilla Glass, Default App is Google, Google Maps instead of VZ Navigator, HDMI Port, Original Android Feeling with a little of blurr, built good so it don't feel cheap, Larger screen, Physical Camera button

Droid X Cons:Large, no Super AMOLED ( so not as vibrant as samsung), Lagged a few times on me on the lock screen.

Samsung Pros: Super AMOLED Screen, Large screen but very accessible, have not seen too much lag

Samsung Cons:No physical camera button, Samsung's UI (personally do not like it), Made of flexible Plastic and you don't feel like you have anything in your hand

Detail Description --------------------------------------------------------

I got the Samsung Fascinate when it was buy one get one free. Brother picked up one and I picked up one.

I dislike samsungs UI compared to the original android on HTC's like the G1, as I got that when it came out a while back. This would be his first Android phone so I knew he wouldn't really know the difference so he would be fine. But I saw the droid x in the store and it was in back order I just picked up the Samsung but not even more than a week I traded somebody for a droid x brand new in the box and I am happy to say I am loving the droid x.

Also Droid X has Gorilla Glass so it isn't as vulnerable as the Samsung

I use the HDMI port a lot so thats a big factor. & also take a lot of pictures and the camera is a little bit better on the X.

BIGGEST PRO: You can use Google Maps as the default app on the car dock where-as the Fascinate you have to use VZ Navigator. And Bing isn't set to the default search engine. ( I have heard the 2.2 update will fix this but I am impatient :) lol )
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gromky:
I let my phone's battery run out to zero. Then let it sit for a few days, I'm on vacation and I don't need my phone. Now, I am recharging my phone, but something strange happens. The phone is off, and the amber light shows that the battery is charging. After a few minutes, the phone turns itself on and the amber light goes off. The battery does not have enough juice to complete startup, and the phone dies halfway through boot. The battery then begins charging, phone turns on, etc. It's been doing this for several hours now. I can't turn the phone off while it's booting, as the OS to control the keys is not yet working. Any help, I've no idea!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] devis:
5 minutes in charge should give you about 7-8% battery, enough to get it up and use it for 5 min or so. Sounds like you have a dead battery.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gromky:
Hmm...doesn't seem possible, the phone is only 2 months old! I'll keep it connected and see what happens. Any idea why the phone turns itself on when not commanded? The problem isn't really the battery, the problem is that the phone won't stay off long enough to recharge fully.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
Somebody else posted a thread with what sounds like the same problem -- just a few lines below yours. And devis posted the same answer there -- which sounds like the right answer.

If you have access to -- or go buy -- a new battery, that would be the thing to try.

I'm not a battery expert, but I think it's not a good idea to let the battery -- any Lithium battery -- go down to zero-dead. (That is, you should turn it off or charge it up when it drops below 10%-ish.) That could explain how a 2-month-old battery could die (if it is dead).

Assume you're trying to charge the phone with the AC-wall charger, not connected to the USB port on a computer?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] marduk79:
If you can't turn off the phone to keep it from rebooting, I suggest you take out the battery, put it back in and let it charge for a few hours. I would just be careful to not accidentally turn on the phone. Hopefully this will bring your phone back. I read on another thread that if the battery drains completely, it may need to charge for a reasonable amount of time before you can boot it back up.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jalcantara512:
happens to me whenever i dont notice my battery draining to 0%..

it dies, and i try to turn it on.. turns on, then dies on boot.. plug in charger, and it goes through an endless cycle of turn on and die on boot.

take the battery out and put it back in, but don't push the power button. let it charge for 10-15 mins to let it get enough juice to boot all the way.. then continue charging it
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] InRBigness:
This will also happen when the charger is not putting out enough power such as via usb cable. Make sure the phone is off and use an AC charger if you can.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gromky:
For the archives, the problem was that the USB port on my computer went bad. I plugged it in to another computer and the phone charged normally. Now I have a broken USB to repair...on a laptop. Should be fun...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
If you have the AC wall charger that works better anyway. Some USB ports of some laptops won't work at all -- not because they're broken but because they don't put out enough power -- by design.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lee1733:
Is anyone else getting a very slight "processing-type" sound when on phone calls? It's hardly enough to notice and I only hear it when the other person and I are completely silent, but it's there. I was just wondering if it's only my phone or all of them. It's not really loud enough to complain about, just asking out of curiosity.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
What does a processing-type sound, sound like?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lee1733:
Like your computer when it is processing something, or maybe when the hard drive is being read, though not as loud as either of those obviously since it's so small. It's hard to explain, but if you listen closely when no one is talking but a phone call is in progress, you should hear it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
Hard drives make clicking sounds.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lee1733:
The disks also make a slight "whirring" noise which is more of what I was referring to.

EDIT: I listened to it again and this doesn't really accurately describe it. It's very hard for me to explain and as I said it's so quiet that it's really a non-issue, just a curiosity I guess. If anyone else happens to notice it at some point, let me know, if not then no worries.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
Ahhh. See now we are getting somewhere. I know what you're referring to. That's interference you're hearing most likely. Remember back when if you put your old GSM phone near some speakers you'd occasionally hear weird sounds kinda like a chirping and buzzing etc? You still get that nowadays but its not as profound. Its just a small whining sound. As long as you have a speaker and you have something emitting radiowaves near it, you will have speaker feedback
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lee1733:
Oh I know that sound. If I put my phone near my speaker after sending a text or anything it does that. I would say it could possibly be a very quiet version of this, but to me it sounds like the sound is coming from the phone itself and not the speaker, but only when on a phone call. I'm not sure about that though and you may be right about it just being some sort of interference - could be that it's just fooling my ears into thinking it's not coming from the speaker since it doesn't fit in at all with the rest of the call.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
I mean nothing else on the phone actually makes noise, aside from the small click that the power and volume keys make. You don't hear electricity or data moving through memory or the cpu etc...

[Vibrant Android Development] gehzumteufel:
With the release of the newest Skype app that supports wifi calling only, is there a way to bond the wifi connection to the cellular connection to allow for calls over 3g?

I only ask because the Skype app is pretty much useless without 3g. Might as well get on a laptop or something.
[Vibrant Android Development] codester3388:
If some way an app can be written that the apps are for the iPhone then it would work. Ive been using an app called My3G and it does what the OP is asking. It basically tricks the app into thinking its on WIFI but uses the existing internet connection which is 3G.
[Vibrant Android Development] gehzumteufel:
That would do exactly what I would like. Could easily circumvent the need to be on wifi for Skype.

In the iPhone app, does it do this systemwide or is it application specific?
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
app specific ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] gehzumteufel:
**** man, we need this ****. lol
[Vibrant Android Development] tpancoast:
Well first we need a version of Skype that lets you log in. (It doesn't work on Galaxy S devices)

I was going to say, but you beat me to it... I been waiting since mid 2009 for this damn app, first on AT&T and now on my TMO Vibrant. Getting very sick of the wait, in fact this is getting down right evil of them....
[Vibrant Android Development] gehzumteufel:
Yeah, sadly, the ETA is when Froyo drops.
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
The only skype app. Other then the skype light. Doesnt allow calls only chat.

The normal skype is verizon only. What it does is call a white-listed verizon number to allow data to pass trough it for free.

There is no way up until now. Even fring is now cut off skype.

Just wait.

nimbuzz works it has skype and does calls
[Vibrant Android Development] 00sivan:
might just be me, but i can never get nimbuzz to work for skype calls except on Wi-Fi. the call quality is simply too ****ty otherwise. Call connects but the lag, delay, and distortion makes it unusable.

Why not just use google voice since it integrates so well with the phone?
[Vibrant Android Development] NWolf:
People keep saying to use Google Voice, but my Google Voice has absolutely no option to use the data connection to make calls. Am I missing something? All Google Voice does for me is call me from a Google owned number and connect the call... this still uses up minutes. What's the point of using Google Voice to avoid soaking up your plan minutes? Is there some way to make SIP calls with GV that I'm missing?
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
Nope. GV is NOT VOIP and it uses a standard voice call, so yes, minutes get used. I don't get why people keep suggesting it in these threads either. The only SIP I know of for Android is SIPDroid, I played with it, but I don't use enough minutes to care about VOIP on my cell. If I were prepaid or something, I would care more. :)

To hack Skype to bypass the wifi requirement, you will likely need to use a AOSP android build. I suspect they are using the Android APIs that include a method to see if WiFi is connected. You could change the source for that method to tell apps that WiFi is connected when it's not, I suspect you would want to check the app IDs or something to only do it for some of them though. :)

Another option is to try disabling the check in the app itself, but that involves decompiling or bytecode modification and gets ugly fast. Probably easier to grab the app from a foreign phone that's not restricted to WiFi. :)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] grn03exp:
If youre using a build with sense and just want the stock android keyboard all you have to do is uninstall the "Touch Input" application. I used an app killer to kill the HTC touch input process and discovered that it killed the HTC keyboard, so after that I just uninstalled it. The stock one is so much better for me, seems more accurate with autocorrect and I can actually hit the keys for once.

I'm using the mattc 1.8 Sense build. Here is an easy way to change the keyboard.

How it's done:

Go to messages and create a new message.

Click in the input field and stay there with your finger at least some seconds.

A popup will appear with the possibility to go to the input method or something like that (sorry, I'm using my build in German :D)

Here you can choose if you want to have the Sense or the original Android keyboard layout.

Anyone else having this problem? I don't remember having this happen on my MT3G.

It's really eating up the battery.

I am on JI2, and I never experienced this until last night after using Odin.
[Vibrant General] geoffcorey:
you have to change the wifi sleep policy in the wifi settings. Got to settings, wireless networks, wifi, then press the menu button and select advanced.
[Vibrant General] SamVib:
OMG! thanks, you're a real life saver.
[Vibrant General] ljv:
Sorry to bring up an old thread. I have it set to never sleep but it still does. Any ideas? Seems when the display times out, it switches off wifi.
[Vibrant General] samnada:
I have wifi on all the time at home and it's set to never sleep. Sometimes I see both the wifi and 3G icons. I know my wifi signal is strong, so no idea why the phone sometimes also seems to need a 3G data connection. One example is when I test GPS at home the 3G icon will pop up briefly. Another is following a reboot. But I see other times as well, and sometimes it stays for quite a while, but eventually goes away. I wonder if perhaps some ports get blocked by my router and the phone uses 3G communication to get around it. Bit of a mystery, but I don't see any other negative symptoms.
[Vibrant General] ELStiko:
Here is something I have experienced. This is regardless of what ROM I am on.. Stock, Bionix, whatever...

I have wifi turned on at work. Sometimes I would see wifi and 3g on at the same time.

Now today, while texting, I noticed that my Wifi connection dropped to nothing, and at that point my 3g kicked in, which I expect it to. But when my Wifi reception kicks back up again, my 3g didnt turn off. I turned off Wifi and turned it on again, and my 3g turned off.

Anyone else getting the same experience?
[Vibrant General] ljv:
samnada/ELStiko, That's what I'm really seeing too as I thought my wifi was just going to sleep.
[Vibrant General] samnada:
I'm pretty sure my wifi isn't going to sleep. The wifi icon is on all the time with at least 3 bars. My cell signal is definitely weaker in my location. So, if it's seeking the strongest signal my wifi will always win.

Besides the possibility that my router is blocking some ports the phone wants to use, there's also a possible security issue. I know at one point the TMO My Account app would force a switch to cell communication versus wifi and I believe it was due to security concerns. Maybe some apps do the same thing.

I just did a GPS test, got a lock, stopped the test, closed the app, and the 3G icon stayed up for a couple of minutes then went away. Just one example.

Does seem odd, but I've just assumed there's some rational explanation. Could also be a bug...
