[Motorola Droid Bionic] bmxmike:
So as far as I can tell right now the only major difference in the Atrix and Bionic is the ram. Also looking at the dock connectors the only thing it looks like it uses is HDMI port and USB port on the phone. I know it's early on and it's most likely going to be one of the most sought after things right now, but what do you guys think of the possibility of porting the webtop app over to the Bionic? Also how important do you think the ram difference is in relation to running Webtop?

From what I read the webtop app is suppose to run all the time so that you can remove and replace in the dock with no requirements to start it so its in a constant on suspended state. Which leads me to think if it's possible to port the app if we can open the app on command could possibly lead to better results with the limited ram, if the ram cause a problem with running the app.

Just looking for other opinions on the matter as I plan on looking into the workings of it and see if it's like the Garmin app that people have been trying to port over for awhile that has come to be yet.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ocdtrekkie:
Isn't the webtop a bit more than just an Android app? I imagine it'd be fairly difficult to port. And I'm assuming a Bionic won't fit in the laptop accessory, so that might cause additional challenge... actually using it. Have to mod the accessory's shape, or connect if via a cord.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] luigi90210:
well from the pics that i have seen the droidx should fit in the atrix dock so if the webtop app can be ported i can see it going to the X
[Motorola Droid Bionic] roteplex:
The webtopp app is suppose to be (atleast according to Moto reps during CES) a cloud computing environment from Motorola so porting it will not be possible.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] v5HMeca:
...Sanjay Jha has just told investors at a Morgan Stanley shindig that the Atrix won't be unique for long -- the Webtop app will be making an appearance on all of Moto's "high performance" smartphones in the second half of this year...

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Beesoc:
Hardware is CLOSE to fitting

Not just a matter of porting the APK. I have an X, Atrix and the laptop dock. The plugs look the same and I almost forced them in before looking closely and the USB and HDMI ports are flipped around on the Atrix and dock.

I sure had my hopes up for a few mins though! :)

[Motorola Droid Bionic] modal realism:
This is old info in this thread and so I'd thought I'd update it.

Motorola's CEO has already stated the webtop will be available for the Bionic sometime after it ships.

The webtop 'app' isn't so much an app but more of a suite of apps. It actually is a lite version of Ubuntu (I think 8.04) running as a guest OS simultaneously with Android. The apks that exist for webtop exist solely to provide an 'android experience' to the guest OS. There is a monitor app that watches the ports to detect when it is plugged into a webtop-enabled dock. There is a content provider app that provides an interface to various data on the Android OS (like contacts, emails, calendar, etc). And there is a portal app that (I think) projects the webtop OS display to HDMI.

The OS can be accessed on the phone by installing a vncserver in the ubuntu OS and using a client on the phone or on a networked device.

It won't be hard to port. The APKs handling the guest OS have already been hacked to remove the dock requirement for activating it.

hello all i need a little help on my tmobile HD2

the spl 2.10.0000 was on it

then i put 2.08.HSPL everything went fine

but when ever i put a rom on it get stuck at 9 percent and not go further

i used task29 about 3 time just to make sure

now I get to the "stick togrther screen"

i can get into muit color screen with usb

any idea how i can install a rom on it please:confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
flash a stock rom using the sd card method. 16gb and 8gb cards probably wont work. use a 2gb for best results.

take note of the blue on white info screens as it flashes, i suspect you are going to see 'radio fail', , and thats one that i have no clue how to (or if indeed you can,, ive certainly never seen radio fail end happily ) fix it.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
hmmm, if thats a stock rom you flashed, and each segment has flashed ok, and it still wont work, i dont know what to suggest.

sorry.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
Just to confirm that it is a T-Mobile USA version of the HD2?

What is it you want to flash - WP7, NAndroid, WinMo6.5 (custom or stock)?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DisturbedAle:
Hello guys,

I am comparing the Vibrant, G2, MT4G and N1, even considering the HD2.

Is there still a good reason to consider the Vibrant? Seeing as how Samsung is really dropping the ball / support. Any other advice / support is appreciated.

Note: This will be my first Android phone, I will be coming from an iPhone 3GS.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chalup:
I'd get Nexus S or even better, wait for Vibrant 4g.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duckhole:
Vibrant running a rom is a great phone. Stock not so much. I would probably just wait for the new 4g galaxy in a month or two and grab that.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synaesthetic:
Stock, the phone isn't very good. It's slow. It's laggy. The battery life is pretty poor. I'd rate a stock Vibrant (Eclair) 6 out of 10.

Rooted and flashed with a good ROM, it's quite good. I'd say it's 8 out of 10. There are a number of flaws... such as the GPS being wonky, the phone not having any notification LEDs and the haptic feedback being very weak compared to comparable devices.

Regardless of software issues, the hardware is good, even if the build quality is low. The S-AMOLED display is gorgeous (if a bit oversaturated). The audio quality (for media playback, not call quality) is the best I've heard on a phone.

I wouldn't buy it on contract, though. I bought my Vibrant second-hand for about $300, and I consider it a great deal, even now after all the Samsung software shenanigans.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
It depends on what you are wanting (FFC, other features...)... where you live (4g?)... and how the phone feels.... do you want the stock feel (N1) or the features touch wiz brings.

Personally, the Vibrant is perfect for ME. Obviously there is going to be someone who prefers another phone on your list (good group).. I have the Nexus also.

Say what you will, but TouchWiz has a LOT of features i would miss.

I will say this, for hardware, not bricking, the BEST screen, and great developers the Vibrant wins.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DisturbedAle:
The Vibrant 4G seems to be launching in Feb, but will probably be out of my price range...

I live in LA, so 4G should be available... :)

I'm still new to Android... TouchWiz, a quick google shows it is the Samsung's splash screen / desktop. And a "rom" seems to be a custom firmware, is this correct?

Androids seem so much more complicated than an iPhone. :confused:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MUNDO23:
Anyone know the spects on the vibrant 4g?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Android is open source. Because of this, manufacturers can take it and "make it their own"

Touchwiz is amazing and absolutely my preferred "skin" *though I prefer stock android, ala Nexus one*

Look in my signature, read those stickies... should answer a lot of questions AND show what the Vibrant can do.

Regardless what phone you choose, I bet you end up (1) rooting it and (2) flashing a custom rom.

The Vibrant is incredibly hard to brick... will benefit from the Nexus S and Vibrant 4G (source code released) and has great developers.. plus it is just sexy. Your call.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XPLANE9:
Unless you absolutely need fast updates (Nexus S), and need a phone now, yeah, get the vibrant. Great hardware, very slick, great devs, but maybe a few trolls in the community. Great phone none the less.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hazard99:
Dont let the whine threads fool you this phone is fantastic.

You need to ask yourself a few questions when looking at what phone you want.

How important is a forward facing camera?

What screen size would you prefer?

How does the phone feel to you?

Whats the storage like?

The vibrant has a great cpu and gpu. a beautiful screen and 16 gig internal storage with an sdcard slot that supports a 32gb micro sd card.

Its mad light which can throw you off but you get use to it. You can probably get a great deal if 4g isnt all that important. I got mine for about 315 here in los angeles.

Ive seen them for a lot lower on cl also.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upNsmokeAllDay:
The phone might be decent but the company behind it ruins it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remarquian:
Yes, it just depends on how much you are paying for it.

With the Vibrant 4G ready to drop next month, I wouldn't pay more than $200-300 for a plain Vibrant.

I'm actually waiting till then to buy one for my wife.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christpuncher:
Short answer: no.

Long answer: there are way better phones than the vibrant coming out soon. Samsung also blows, and for those of you telling him yes... what happened to #neveragain?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DisturbedAle:
This is what I might do, since I'm willing to spend $200 for the Vibrant... Or maybe I'll go for the G2 at $350ish.

I like the G2 since it's "future proof" with 4G and has a qwerty keyboard. It also has much better name to back it and has a stronger community behind it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kubernetes:
I would wait. I love my Vibrant, but the GPS is still spotty and there's no guarantee you'll get one that works. Dual core phones (as well as the Vibrant 4G) are right around the corner and right now the Nexus S is a better choice. I'm guessing the Vibrant 4G will be $200 on contract when it comes out.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragon2knight:
No.They care so little for us(both tmo and samsung) that anything else would be an improvement.ANYTHING.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
Buying one of the phones you listed above right now would be foolish. I only say that because we are litterly on the cusp of new Dual core phones to hit the market soon.

As a Vibrant owner, I would say stay away, even from the Vibrant 4G. If you must upgrade now, I would get the Nexus S, even though it doesn't have hspa+ (4G).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cashyftw:
It just depends, if your a hacker, get an hd2, as you can put many roms on it, Gingerbread, Froyo, Windows phone 7, but it's not as sexy as the Vibrant's display, and maybe not as fast, I think everything else is pretty ugly lol. I would get a Vibrant 4g though, if you really want a Galaxy S model.

I'm trading my Vibrant for a hd2, and $200, that's probably the only reason I'm bragging about it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
last I heard the hd2 was barely able to get past the android boot, since when has android been successfuly working on the hd2?

btw hd2 comes with windows mobile 6.5, not 7.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hazard99:
its been able to boot it for a while now. they finally got nand though.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
Ya but it doesn't really run smoothly for everyday use correct? It is more experimental at this stage.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Five0nIt:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hazard99:
It ran pretty smooth from sd till my digitizer broke. I got tired of constantly worrying about the battery life.

you almost cant tell its not a native android device.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Binary100100:
I agree. I just bought mine a couple of days ago for $250 off craigslist because I'm still on contract until December 2011. I was amazed how easy it was to root but the only thing that I don't like about is that the first day of rooting somehow some file became corrupt and I had to odin back to stock, reroot and reflash all over again. The moral of this story is to use your ~16 gb of storage available for nandroid backups! :D That way when (not if!) it happens you can always odin back, reroot and then restore back to normal. I'm going to set my Clockwork to make backups daily. ;)

Other than that... I am amazed at how much better this is compared to the G1 or the MyTouch. :eek:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
HD2 can run Android very well, darn near perfect, and recently got WP7 as well. So, put simply, it is the hackers wet dream in those regards.

I think the Vibrant is worth buying, gorgeous screen, etc. If you need a new phone now, get it, if you can wait, wait. If something else is more appealing to you, get that. Just keep in mind, all the phones you listed are solid smartphones, so ask yourself one simple question; What makes a great smartphone? The Vibrant offers amazing sound quality compared to the others, has decent battery life, solid reception, etc.

Don't get caught up in a "spec" war, dual cores might be "around" the corner, but you are going to be stuck with a phone that has a processor that isn't supported by Android, rather by the manufacturer making a kernel that supports it and then an OS that doesn't take advantage, apps that don't take advantage, etc until Honeycomb.

4G is cool, especially when you can get those speeds, but "4G" phones right now are only 14.4 HSPA+, where as the Vibrant is 7.2Mbps, doesn't have the same potential top speed, but real world 5Mbps is pretty damn good speed for a phone to say the least.

It goes on and on, all the new technology is cool to drool over, but in the real world go with what fits your needs, and is actually available and optimized. What makes a great phone for you?

For me, it is a phone that is easy to carry, has good call quality, battery lasts a day, I can flash, and is fast enough to get the job done. The Vibrant meets or exceeds all of those for me.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce lee roy:
This is the truth !

Don't listen to all the haters who say this is a not a good phone. They are either bitter about samsung or tmobile not releasing updates "on-time" or they are not rooted.

if you have no interest in rooting, this may not be the phone for you. You would likely be better of with an iphone or something htc (best at updates).

if you are planning on rooting, there is no better phone to have.

1. Best hardware in the game. No wonder variants are still being released today (nexus s, vibrant 4g)

2. New variants = longevity. Especially the nexus s. This phone should be relevant for years to come.

3. Hard to brick, easy to root and flash

But none of this matters if your not rooted. And this will all make sense after you flash your first rom. but until then you will never really know what a true technological masterpiece this phone is. Truly a lion in sheep's clothing.

Get a Motorola Atrix 4G ! 1ghz Dual core processor and 1GB of RAM! But that's for at&t...so for t-mobile get the LG Optimus 2X! Same dc tegra processor but less RAM. Or get the Droid Bionic! Tegra dc processors are the new hit this year.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZachLL88:
should read more into the G2, heard it has an extremely bad hinge problem.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oniyuri:
I just purchased my vibrant after watching my bf enjoy his for months. So far, as I knew the RFS on the phone is the reason for all the lagging in first place, the first thing I did upon getting the vibrant was flash Nero v5. My phone is so fast and fluid that I don't even care if the new 4g dual core hotness is about to drop (but maybe I will next yr...when the prices come down, lol). I think if you were looking to spend a reasonable amount of money on a phone, now would be the time to get a vibrant. Including shipping, my vibrant came up to $380 on ebay otherwise it would've been only $350. :p

As for the N1, I wouldn't get one. I've read that the speaker quality wasn't quite the greatest. As for the G2... not my cup of tea. The hinges looked too weird for me and IIRC, the first batches of that phone had some problem with the hinge design (too loose). The MT4G.... I think it would be a waste to get that phone with the LG Optimus 2x being so close to dropping and the Galaxy s2 so close to being announced.

Just take notice, android is not for those that are faint of heart.... you've gotta be a little more technically inclined than most smartphone users. I love android for the amount of choices that you have when it comes to customization. I could never go to apple or blackberry.....ever.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DisturbedAle:
The more I read, the more I am ready to buy one off ebay at $250 - $300, seems fair right?

I am also leaning towards waiting for the Vibrant 4G then upgrading the Vibrant due to the price drops.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allthrottle:
You're right, the Vibrant will probably be free when the 4g is released. The worst that will happen in the coming months is the vibrant being bumped down to "mid-range" status. The specs are just too good for it to be in the same category as the droid 1, which is still a decent phone.

On bionix v, my phone is as smooth as an iphone if not more. That means a lot to me seeing as how up until now, any of my android phones (g1, cliq) have seemed like a childs toy next to iphones. The vibrant is still in the game.

Sent from my <tw> powered vibrant.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SykesAT:
This phone is great. I prefer it over the G2, which my partner has. Get the G2 if you like a keyboard, get the Vibrant for a slightly larger and better screen and smaller form factor. There are of course more differences but those are my key ones... I have not read too much about the MT4G, so I can't comment.

Personally if I were in the market for a new phone but was not desperate, I would hold on for a few months. Dual core chip phones are going to start arriving soon and IMO would be worth the wait. Infact I will probably leave the vibrant for one, if T-mo get a nice dual core.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DisturbedAle:
Can you directly compare the G2 vs Vibrant?

Also, even if dual core phones come out, I feel like it would still be very pricey...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
Go for it! Heads up, I watched Vibrants the last couple weeks on eBay, they go for the least amount with the auction is ending Monday-Wednesday, Thursday is alright, but Friday-Sunday they seem to go for more... I saw multiple mint Vibrants go for 250-275 during the good times, and those same phones go for 300+ during the weekend.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DisturbedAle:
Thanks for the advice, I'm hunting on here, ebay and craigslist for this phone.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8526WM6:
[Q] AT&T Captivate Official FROYO Update??? & Random Shutdown Issues??? Related???

AT&T & Samsung has just released news of their new AT&T INFUSE 4G (with Froyo 2.2 onboard) to be released second quarter 2011. IMHO, they are leaving the AT&T Captivate owners HIGH & DRY with no FROYO 2.2 until after the INFUSE 4G release. IMHO, they want current Captivate owners to either buy the the NEW INFUSE 4G or move on silently to another phone or cooked ROM. I've heard of a person doing six exchcanges for the AT&T Captivate random shutoff issue and still not fixed. I was offered a free upgrade to a refurbished HTC 8526 from my WM6 8125 on the third exchange (clearly honored service by HTC). What about you SAMSUNG???

IMHO AT&T and Samsung needs to offer FROYO 2.2 to AT&T Captivate owners before the INFUSE 4G is released or belly-up free upgrades to the INFUSE 4g. Clearly unhonored service by Samsung and marketing promises of future upgrades by AT&T.

Your feedback is welcome...

As far as your comment, Samsung has no control over when we get Froyo from AT&T. This being the case, they have no stake in "bellying-up free upgrades" to any phone. Anyway, why would you want another Samsung product that will certainly go through the same upgrade path as the Craptivate.
