Yeah I'm using Wordfeud now for my WWF fix. It's like a poor mans version. Drab black color and the "V" is only worth 4 points lol.

Also, yeah, I'm not saying to put the plug at the top, but raise it to the top of the side or put it where the *gasp* iphone put their plug. Bottom center.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jcX4ever:
It's for easy Landscape DOCKING!

If you buy a docking device for your desk of for your car where do you think the USB port should be?
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
Yeah, because the majority of users use a desk/car dock instead of holding their phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Talesin_BatBat:
I'd have greatly preferred it on the other side (the one with the camera button); this would allow it to be used on a dock (who uses the keyboard when it's docked?! flip the screen!), while at the same time allowing you to prop it up on a desk and have it charge while still being able to quickly pick it up to type a response to a text or tweet. As it is now, to charge on a desk it HAS to be either face up or face-down.. and I shudder to think about trying to use a dock and quickly reply to anything. But I can understand why they didn't... look under the screen with it lifted up half-open, the z-hinge takes up a lot of space.

Even having it on the bottom would have been an improvement. And seconded on the micro-USB port... all my other gear uses mini-USB. Now I have to go buy another micro-USB cable to charge at work versus home, or be hassled in carrying the cable back and forth.

Battery life seems to be a hell of a lot better than the G1 at least. Which is now my 'backup phone' at work, in case I forget the damned charging cable for the G2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] fryrice8850:
speaking of blackberry...i really wish the g2 has the metal magnet charging ports like the blackberry. those metal contacts on the bottom of the blackberry have made charging the phone sooo much easier. i miss that feature... i know the n1 has that but the dock cost like $50 but hey if the g2 had that i would be all over it especially if ur tryin to charge ur fone wen ur drunk it is really hard.
[G2 and Desire Z General] borodin1:
You know what pisses me off about this? I have to plug in 2 cords now when I'm driving in the car, 1 for audio and 1 for charging. Neither one of them plugs in easily and looks straight up ugly once it's done. G1 worked out perfect because I had a splitter and I only had to hook up 1 cable to get both, it ran from the bottom of the phone into the custom cut-out in my dash so all I saw was 2-3 inches of cable. I wish that kept G1's multi-mini-usb (or what ever they called it) on the bottom and just add 3.5 mill jack on top.

Just my $.02
[G2 and Desire Z General] mikeybot:
Try using a mini to micro usb adapter?
[G2 and Desire Z General] borodin1:
Wouldn't make any difference unless the port was on the bottom of the phone. Plus, I'm not sure that sound is routed thru micro-usb anyway.
[G2 and Desire Z General] n3rdftw:
i would like to know this too ^

I have the ext-usb -> usb, extusb, 3.5mm splitter i used in my car too for my g1, and i was wondering if there would be an extusb to microusb converter that would keep all these functions.... stupid htc
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericc191:

[Droid 2 Android Development] MattHorner:
I have been going through some ROMs recently and have found that no matter what ROM I try my contacts always do not sync fully/at all. I've been backing up using gmail and backup assistant but neither of these methods have worked for me. Also I can never access my backup assistant after I flash. Any help would be greatly appriciated.
[Droid 2 Android Development] newk8600:
If you are having problems getting all your contacts imported over make sure they are all stored in your gmail account's dashboard. If not then you will have to send your contacts to your sdcard to a .vcf(I think) and import them to gmail that way you know they are stored there. Then you just have to make sure you tap the sync contacts button in Accounts> Your gmail account, about ten times until it says it synced with a time stamp close to the time you tapped it to sync.
[Droid 2 Android Development] darkonion:
I had a problem similar to that. Let me see if I can remember what I did...

I think what I did was go to Verizon's website and went to the Backup Assistant on their page. I think after that, I exported all my contacts into a .csv file or something. From there, I went to my Google Mail account and then imported all my contacts from .csv file into my google account. I don't think that was it exactly, but something like that.

[Droid 2 Android Development] MattHorner:
Awesome thank you so much guys hopefully I get my contacts working today once I can flash one of the ROMs I got from a couple days ago =)
[Droid X General] mitchuscg:
alright everyone i havnt seen it yet so im gonna post it. if anyone is interested there is a petition circling around the internet to request moto to unlock the bootloader on all their devices that have it. i encourage everyone to sign up because unfortunately i dont see the bootloader getting unlocked any time soon. i hate to say it but thats the way i see it.

heres the link: http://www.petitiononline.com/motoulbl/petition.html

sign it!!
[Droid X General] Javiggan69:
Signed It....
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Is this the same one that went around when the X was first released?

Someone had created a petition then as well.
[Droid X General] mitchuscg:
I have no idea. There's a lot because I think everyone with the x excluding maybe 2 people are irritated about. I would sign this one just in case
[Droid X General] berndtjj:
I'm not sure what this will accomplish. Motorola is not a democracy. It's a business. Money is the only thing that will sway them. Of course there is always government regulation, but that is dangerous too.

I'm personally disappointed the bootloader is locked. The only recourse we have as consumers is to not spend our money.
[Droid X General] mitchuscg:
that or just return the phone and encourage people to not buy moto
[Droid X General] owenbeals:
What is the advantage for motorola to lock up the device? To me the bootloader never made any since.
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Not saying that I agree with any of these, but possible reasons:

1) Reduce equipment failures (returns) due to bad custom software (Overclock, etc)

2) Protect Their software IP (Blur)

3) Keep custom software from doing unknown bad things on carrier networks.

4) Protect carriers ability to charge for things like WiFi access point, etc.

One thing to keep in mind here is that "we" are an extreme fringe group within the larger population of X owners. Even if these arguments or barriers ring true for us, they present enough of a 'deterrent' to the 'normal' user that they largely just leave it alone.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ivorycruncher:
So I saw today that US Cellular is getting the SCH-i500 as well, though they're calling it the Mesmerize. If I'm not mistaken, the hardware should be identical to the Fascinate, and I'm guessing it has a full "Google experience" ROM. Anybody think there's a chance of porting its ROM to the Fascinate? Of course, it might have ifs own bloatware to remove, but I can't help but think it wouldn't be nearly as bad as Verizon's version.

Anyone have any thoughts about this? Would this be a worthwhile effort for the short term, or would it be a waste of time, and we should focus on Froyo instead?
[Samsung Mesmerize] CrimsonKnight13:
That'd be a great thing to try if it's possible. I'd be willing to try it out.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdube:
it is also said to be launching with froyo...
[Samsung Mesmerize] Boushh:
Well, if it's the same hardware and launching with froyo, I would put my money on froyo coming out for the fascinate within days of it's release, give or take (also, bing free).

*edit* So, According to BGR, several other reliable news sources and US Cellular themselves it's being shipped with 2.1. I only read one article saying it was being shipped with 2.2, so I think you are incorrect. It will also be released the 27th of this month and if the rumors are true, we should have froyo by then, so this is probably moot. SOURCE *edit*
[Samsung Mesmerize] saps:
Most articles say it will ship with 2.1 I think the 2.2 one was just a typo.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ksizzle9:
Yeah. It will not ship with froyo, it will be upgraded later on to froyo.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ivorycruncher:
Nope, no Froyo right now. From the official press release:

Oh, and I wouldn't hold my breath on an October release. I'll believe if and when I say it, but the way Android upgrades keep getting delayed by Verizon, I'm thinking more mid-November-ish. But hey, I'd love to be proven wrong about that.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdube:
lol last time i ever read cnet
[Samsung Mesmerize] cloudstrife7:
I'll be getting the Mesmerize when it launches, I already preordered it at a local store. I'll be watching developments on rooting closely. With the way US Cell upgrades phones Froyo won't come till next year, but hopefully nov/december would be acceptable.
[Samsung Mesmerize] thematrixkid17:
How did you pre-order it? My friend went to all of the US Cellular stores in town, Corporate and authorized retailers, and none said they are able to pre-order.
[Samsung Mesmerize] cloudstrife7:
I went to an unauthorized retailer and they put my name on a list for it, no money down. They said they will call me when I can buy it, however as long as they receive their shipment for the 27th, I'll be waiting outside the door when they open at 10AM.
[Samsung Mesmerize] eleazar123:
Have we confirmed it will be a Google Experience phone? I didn't see anything about that in the press release.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ivorycruncher:
Well, the press release specifically lists most, if not all of the "Google Experience" apps individually, so as far as I'm concerned that qualifies. There doesn't seem to be a clear definition as to what a Google Experience device is. Some thought originally that it meant phones with stock Android and no custom UIs, but that was disproven ages ago. I think every Android phone is considered a Google Experience phone, unless specific key Google apps have been replaced, which Verizon and AT&T have done with Bing and Yahoo, respectively.
[Samsung Mesmerize] namebrandon:
I want to put this out there right now, so that people will see it.

If you flash the full firmware file that's leaded for the Mesmerize, or the modem.bin file, you will brick your Fascinate.

Do not randomly flash other hardware's firmware to your device. Don't do it.

If you really, really, really want to do it because you're stupid, or naive, or feel like making a trip to the VZW store, at least post here first and ask if anyone else has done what you're going to do. More than likely we have, and it didn't work out very well.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ivorycruncher:
Um, okay, where did that come from? I didn't see anyone here suggesting that anyone should do that. What I suggested was a port of the ROM, meaning the taking the full "Google Experience" portion of that ROM and adapting it to the Fascinate. Oh well, it's a moot point now. Froyo ROMs are right around the corner, so nobody's going to waste any time on a 2.1 ROM anymore.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mrtoddles11:
Hey XDA maybe you can help me out.. I;ve searched the forums and cannot find a solution to what is happening to my phone. I have a SIM unlocked HD2 and in the WM rom im using (Chucky) the EDGE data works just fine all of the time. However, the minute I boot into Android, and I've tried multiple roms, the EGDE data will work then stop. No matter what combination of turning off and on the data, changing the monile network settings, WIFI will turn back on the data connection. Ive tried booting into Android with and without radios on in WM and basically everything I can think of. Ive changed APN settings as well.

I really dont know what is causing this. and im currently using radio 2.12.50.02. If anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated. Any questions i will answer.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] polo735:
What android build are you booting into? What Kernel? Have you explored your build's thread to see if others experienced similar data drops?

I have a euro hd2 on att edge and I don't have any issues with the setup in my signature.

I'm currently booting into Hyperdroid V1.6 with a kernal version 2.6.32.9-r11_n38158-g184606d-dirty michyprima@mainframe #159. Ive looked at nearly all the pages and placed searches as well but can't seem to find anything. I have a feeling it has to do with the fact that im using AT&T but WM EDGE works just fine. I should mention WIFI works fine in Android but on the power coltrol widget on my home screen the Data button (with the arrows pointing up and down) is red even when turned off. I'll try your set up later tonight, thanks for the response.

EDIT: I tried your set up and it was the same case. Sometimes I'll boot up and EDGE will work for a while then stut off randomly and other times it wont work at all after boot up.

Have you tried rmnet vs ppp? Others have had success using rmnet when having data issues.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mrtoddles11:
Sorry for the late reply. I have tried both and it doesnt change anything. What I have found is that my data will work for anywhere from 5-60 minutes then stop working all together until the next reboot. I have no idea what is causing this or what I can do to fix this.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] polo735:
many others are experiencing data disconnections depending on kernel and build. I don't think this issue has anything to do with at&t. Keep trying kernels and builds.

I know that I'm digging up an old thread but, has anyone found a working solution to this? I'm on EDGE and it is painfully slow when I'm trying to do anything on the phone even though my phone shows full signal. Also, the signal will drop out every once in a while and I have to turn airplane mode on and off to get it back. I'm think that I have the correct APN settings. Currently I'm using Rafdroid 4.2 with his 2.0OC kernal.

Just like the title says, now my youtube works weird.

When I search for example word "torture" is says 150661 results for "torture" but "No videos found", same happened when I wanted to forward my buddy a video out of "The Torture Game 2" it simply says it cannot find videos, even though it finds them just fine on a computer's youtube! Seems like it censored crap FOR ME, is this another stupid stunt from AT&T along with their other feature removals? It does it for all 'inapproperiate" words : sex, porn, etc.

Any input on this?

I tried to find anything related on the forum and nothing was found.
[Captivate General] Yggdrasil777:
Easy enough to fix.

On the YouTube application, go to your Account (Menu > My Account), then go to the Settings (Menu > Settings). Click on SafeSearch filtering. Set it to your appropriate level (Don't filter).

Try searching for torture now. ;)

It's set like that at default. If you don't change it, you will obviously run into the situation you had earlier. You may also want to consider whether or not you want defaulted HD videos while you're in there. :D

It has nothing to do with AT&T.
[Captivate General] HappyBallz:
I wish it was that easy... my option is "grayed-out" ... cannot click it at all. :mad:

Any other suggestions?
[Captivate General] ghost77:
Yeah i can't select also ,googling for some info it seems its carrier(AT&T) disabled, we need modified youtube app :mad:

Yggdrasil777 care to upload your Youtube.apk ?
[Captivate General] YoungGun821:
Interesting, I dont even see a SafeSearch option. All i see is "Clear search history" "Filter videos by time" and "Terms of Service"

oh and "Application Version 1.5.20"
[Captivate General] HappyBallz:
This kind of **** pisses the **** out of me, they release, and FORCE you to update and then instead of focusing their time on improvements they focuse on removing and locking the phone more. My phone/GPS/browser-google search works even worse now to boot, god if you people only knew how much I hate and despise ATT and their bull**** right now. I wish all of their smartass people who thought of this useless nazi-like update were dropped in an active volcano.

This is probably going to be my last phone that I buy from ATT themselves, I love the phone but it makes me throw up a little everytime i see their logo on my phone, especially after I paid $500 for one to be treated like this, freakingbastards.:mad:

I know I can just put a custom rom on there, but it's frustrating none the less, to have to fix and deal with THEIR mistakes after paying them money.:rolleyes:

[G2 and Desire Z General] XfrostX:
Random drops (Edge > 3G > No Data) of signal (without moving). Getting 0 signal when it switches to 3g but when it switches to edge i get full bars. Never did this on my nexus, so I am assuming it is a defect.
[G2 and Desire Z General] lucidpriest:
I bought the phone out right for the whole price since I'm not on contract. So what I did was went to the local tmo store, bought a new one, checked the hinge and all that, transferred my jam packed memory card, then dropped the old one in the UPS box and returned it under the buyers-remorse policy.

As I understand though, if you bought your phone at a discount you had to drop it in UPS first so that they could reactivate your eligibility for the discount.

My replacement phone actually not only has a functioning hinge, but I'm convinced it runs faster.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kmmxracer:
So is you hinge a lot better?? I bought mine new in bow on craigs list. I wonder how I could replace mine.
[G2 and Desire Z General] XfrostX:
I bought it off contract too, so did you just go to the tmobile store say u want a new one and just bought it there (meaning a 1000 $~ balance on your account until they get ur broken one ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] funkeee:
Some T-Mo stores can replace it for you. I know I did with my G1 several times. Not all stores have that capability though. Also inventory may be an issue. Call up the ones in your area and ask if you can do a warranty exchange in their store.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Gerson2407:
I have to do the same thing to get my replacement. Also had the dropping of signal issue, ups tracking says it's already in chicago so I should be getting up bright and early tomorrow to get it. Hopefully this hinge is sturdy!

[G2 and Desire Z General] TheMan42:
Fyi, I've gotten the random signal drops while on 'WCDMA preferred' and it would drop to 0 bars then come back, on 'WCDMA Only' it never did this . Both tests were done in the same area of perfect hspa+ coverage. This is leading me to believe it to be a software/firmware issue.

To clarify, I'm referring to my G2, not my N1
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jon C:
I had to go through the same ridiculous process. The rep I spoke to said that I could call back with the tracking number, and then just walk into a retail T-Mo store, have them call CS and get the same price on the phone.

Well, needless to say, that didn't work at all.

Now I'm waiting for what will probably be my second busted-hinge-G2. :mad:

Ironically, they just supposedly 'fixed' the Vibrant. :eek:
[G2 and Desire Z General] magnafides:
I have the same signal issues and am considering sending for a replacement. My signal will fluctuate and drop completely in places where my MT3G could hold a consistent signal. That also goes for constant switching between GPRS, Edge, and 3G. When trying to listen to streaming radio I get connection errors that I never got before with my old phone.

Judging from the number of people having this issue I don't think I have a "defective" phone per se, just that the G2 radio sucks in general.
