How is the 5MP Camera with dual-LED flash? - just fine

Comparable or better than that of HTC Desire or Galaxy S - not even a valid comparison

- The physical QWERTY - Is it fun and really fast to type with it? How's the adjustment to tap the screen to send the message after typing. (normally a scrollball or touch pad would do the job faster). Awesome keyboard, how is pressing something quicker than touching something?

- 3D gaming - How's it the 3D performance, do all the Android High-End games run smoothly. don't know

-The new email system or software implemented - Does it support Inline message editing of forwarded Emails? - nope

- Can you do a T9 contact search directly from the Desktop? Is there a T9 dialer? no, and yes.
[Droid Pro General] @Class:
I hated the on screen keyboard of my HTC Desire. What ever HTC did to the keyboard it seems like its even harder to type than with the stock keyboard.

Not making a mistake every sentence is wonderful.
[Droid Pro General] rahulz5:
Hi guys,

I'm seriously considering buying this phone. So I thought I could just add up to this post rather than start a new thread asking questions about the features.

I didn happen to notice this thread and sent the same given below as a PM to Jibriel :o

So let me outline my buying rationale I want a blackberry-ish phone which I can use without a blackberry rate data plans in India. I want this phone to do primarily one thing, sync gtalk and gmail / facebook perfectly. I can take a hit on other functions but not this. I am a noob so one or 2 of my questions will be pretty dumb.

1. Where to buy the phone?

I'm in India. So will it suffice if I buy the phone from amazon wireless with the replacement phone option

wireless.amazon.com/dp/B004AM5AWM (i cannot post links as this is my first post so not providing it as a hyperlink).

Is there any better option available. I know people traveling to and from the US, so shipping within continental US option will do and I dont need a world shipping option.

2. How do I unlock?

So apparently from other posts I see a guy can provide a 8 numerical unlock code to unlock the phone for other GSM carries. So if I buy the phone using option 1, will the same $8 trick work for me.

3. Now for dumb question, I want to know if Gtalk is running in background and if someone sends me an IM then will I be notified of the IM automatically? Or should I refresh the app manually to get latest updates? Same thing for facebook.

I have long commute to work. So this answer will be major influencing factor on my buying decision.

4. How is the call quality? I have some hearing difficulties. But its not bad enough to use a hearing aid. I have heard some issue with call qualities being poor. Is anyone using an unlocked phone with GSM carries experienced any issues? Bad lemons are ones luck, just trying to determine if issue is widespread.

I know my list is long. But I dont want to spend $449 just because I would really like to own it. Any inputs/feedback on the above questions will be greatly appreciated. :)
[Droid Pro General] rahulz5:
Thanks a lot for your time Jibreil.:)

Just one more question. Will the unlock procedure used void warranty? and does motorola offer international warranty for Droid Pro?

I'm not talking about rooting. But just unlocking it to work with GSM carriers in India.
[Droid Pro General] Jibreil:
No it doesn't void the Warranty. Besides where are you going to find the support for Verizon phones in India. If something goes wrong, Motorola India is not going to provide any support since the phone isn't officially available here and neither do they have the hardware to support it.

....Unless you have means to send it back to the US.
[Droid Pro General] rahulz5:
i know a few ppl who will be travelling to n fro for the next couple of months. So worst case some1 can take it back and return it. So thats why I prefer to buy from amazon if its few $$ more expensive than ebay and other stuff. :D

but yah i got all the info i to convince me to blow $449

i will get the handset only in 2nd week of jan :) then i will strt a new thread for the set up procedures ;)
[Droid Pro General] rafeee2:
Dude. You can win one on ebay for much less than 450. I saw ended auctions from sellers with very good feedback starting from 375 $$.
[Droid Pro General] rafeee2:
Make sure to also read about the reboot issue, it seems to be very very common. It's like every other Droid Pro owner has it.
[Droid Pro General] Jibreil:
I bought mine and never has a reboot issue till date (knock on wood)

EDIT: Seems to crash a lot on my phone... I was retarded enough to not backup the original dialer file. Can someone attach it here for me please ? Running Darky's 5.5 on XXJPU.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Cruznec:

[edit]

M also on 5.5 currently and i havent had any problems as of yet.......try again and see if it works.........u can find the original dialer in darky's rom....hopefully it is a copy of unmodified zip

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] thE_29:
Darky v6.0 with the modded Dialer has stil the density problem :(

I attached the picture so you can see what I am talking about..

The funny thing is, that the PIN-pad on boot is fullscreen.. Just the dialer pad sucks ;(
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Cruznec:
wow that is sumthing not happening in my sgs u seem to havin a unique problem............did u happen to use an app called pixeldensity changer by chance?.....coz i had tried it once and had screwed many of my games even reinstall didnt work.......maybe u need a clean installl......by dat i mean the process using odin
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] thE_29:
The phone is working correctly, just some lazy app devs do not support density changing!

But you can override this with spare parts and disabling "compatiblity mode".

Then most of the "not fullscreen" apps are "full screen".

So after updating to darky v6, everything was OK, because the density is set back to default = 240.

Then i edit the build.prop file in /system and set the density to 200.

After reboot the dialer pad is ****ed up, because it is very very bad programed :D

Really hardcoded length, width, etc..

So i was hoping that yours will work, but i have to look for an alternative dialer :(

@cruznec: If you dont change density, then you dont have the problem! And i am not alone, on the previous page some guy asked if the density is fixxed!

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] thE_29:

I just want to look on it, to see if there are some methods which are called getLength or sth..

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] totalomnia:
This is fantastic, really like it. I'm using the Gingerbread with old icons on Doc's JPO.

Just wanted to know if you could do a few things:

1. On the glass theme, make it fully transparent background? Otherwise my blue wallpaper shows up gray in colour and doesn't look as good.

2. Skin the contacts icon to look the same as the other 3, its misaligned and the greyed out look doesn't quite fit in so well...

Thanks for your hard work!

^Old dialer can be restored if you have ur rom's zip file, just replace the DialerTabActivity.apk file
