Definitely higher res screen, less bezel, better battery life, ffc, dual core processor maybe

I'd like to see automatic dialing implemented so that I can just start typing on the number keys to dial instead of going directly to search. i always search text never numbers so if im inputting numbers it should know to bring up the dialer. this is definitely software scope but to be done right it'd have to be done at the OS level I think.
[Droid Pro General] StingRay_:
This should apply to any phone, and especially those marketed as a business phone, but fix the damn exchange email sync....

if/when they provide an update to the current Droid Pro that fixes the corporate exchange push sync lag I will be perfectly happy with my Pro...
[Droid Pro General] hsy317:
personally i don't care for the business functionality. but since it IS a business phone it should have excellent email exchange.

the first thing i'd like is if the 480p video camera was upgraded to 720p. i don't mind 5mpx because i think the photos look good as they are (the samples i've seen online). besides, the iphone's 5mpx is superior to any phone i've seen with the same amount of pixels.

secondly i'd like the battery issue to be fixed. it should be sold with a higher capacity battery to last around a week with general use. it's sad hearing reports of the battery only lasting a few hours before dying completely.

thirdly i'd like a dedicated camera button. while there's probably an app for that, it should come with a convenience key and camera button or the option to switch the convenience key to whatever function i'd like.

fourthly i'd like the option to open the landscape keyboard whenever i hold the options softkey. the droid x does this, and i guess it would be useful if the phone didn't know when to bring the keyboard out. ALSO i'd like default swype on there just in case i wanted to use that keyboard one-handedly. i know most people complain that i should just buy a slideout phone, but honestly i use the portrait keyboard 90% of the time and landscape the other 10%.

fifthly, a higher resolution wouldn't hurt. while i don't mind the subpar quality that the droid pro offers, a lot of people are concerned about the clarity of their screens.

sixthly, i heard the speakerphone was on the back. should be on the front.

seventhly, a brighter led light notification thing

eighthly, a front facing camera might be a nice touch (apparently it's good for business people's phone meetings).

finally, i'd want none of that verizon/motorola bloatware crap. they're out of their minds to think i'd actually pay for cityID or whatever apps they're trying to drain my money of. the phone should come clean with basic necessary apps.

size and screen size is fine as it is. basically all i want is a better camera and a good battery. oh and GINGERBREAD! or the most recent update. the other stuff is just nice extras. (:
[Droid Pro General] bencrawfo:
A week? Really? Its a business phone yes, but far from magical.

Im sorry but this made me giggle. It will get a day at best. If you could get past the bootloader the best devs could maybe get you 2 days with a GB rom and decent UV kernal. But a week is asking the impossible, of any android device.
[Droid Pro General] hsy317:
well, i wanted a better battery. 7 days may seem outrageous to you but there are phones that last for weeks before dying and for android phones i'm sure in the future improved batteries will allow the devices to last longer.
[Droid Pro General] freak4dell:
The only phones that last a week without dying are dumbphones, and even then, that's only if you don't use them.
[Droid Pro General] bencrawfo:
Exactly you wont see a week if battery life anytime soon. And if your are looking for long battery life a locked down moto device wasnt the best choice.
[Droid Pro General] hsy317:
ugh, i'm not arguing with the fact that at best a smartphone only lasts a few days. in the future, i'm SURE smartphones will have battery lives comparable to regular phones.

i can argue with the fact about "dumbphones". i use mine moderately (which is extremely simple) everyday for calling and mostly texting and it lasts me a week. i love it

if you want a realistic answer (because honestly, all the features i listed on the droid pro 2 aren't very realistic considering how the device will prob never exist) i'll just say a solid 2 days. maybe 3.
[Droid Pro General] evanstein:
New way to navigate and select Text!!

Navigating through text is a nightmare using the touch interface. The little magnified version is a bit of a help but its still not a good way to navigate text using a thumb that is half an inch thick to navigate between characters that are millimeters thick. Bad design.

Also not all text is easily selectable. Need to figure out a better way to highlight text in emails (not drafts), webpages, etc.
[Droid Pro General] hsy317:
i would appreciate some call/end buttons. i know most people don't care about that but for me its easy and quick (after all its main functionality should be as a phone). the surrounding 4 soft keys could be placed like those on the acer betouch e210 if there's not enough room.

i think someone said before that they'd like the phone to come up as soon as you dial the number row. or there should be an option to switch from universal search to that generic phone number input regular phones have when you press the number keypad.

hmm. as evanstein has said, its hard to edit mistakes on the touch screen. maybe if they incorporate arrow keys on the side of the space bar (like the sony ericsson xperia x10 mini pro) it would be easier. i wouldn't mind if the pro was a few millimeters wider.

yeah.. i'd really like a droid pro 2. ): anyone hear any word on that yet?
[Droid Pro General] freak4dell:
Those are some great ideas. I've always been annoyed by the fact that modern smartphones are now internet devices with phones built in, rather than phones with internet capabilities. I still miss my Treo because of that.
[Droid Pro General] maikdroid:
Miss my Treo, too.

- I want more keys (call/end, Cursor) and a better keyboard. It just feels bad if you compare it to a Treo/Pixi/Pre or even a Blackberry.

- perfect PIM functions... maybe something that Google should realize

- And Motorola, please activate the FM Radio even in the actual Droid pro.

- Extra photo button

- It shall go faster online. I hope the actual update will fix it, but in the past it was really anoying that the phone was often offline and took sometimes really long to go online agin.

- delete blur

- I want just a very good and fast hardware with a perfect keyboard and stock android look

- and an open system for modding !!!
[Droid Pro General] tnt118:
I'd love to see the menu/home/back/search "buttons" be actual buttons instead of touch-sensitive.
[Droid Pro General] nutpn:
droid pro 2

i would like to see a bigger screen ,wished they would come out with a flip instead of a slide ,sort of like the lg envy2 only larger with the landscape keyboard like that,now that would be a business machine with a external screen too,as far as me over 40 need glasses,its hard to see my droid if im on the road,i have to pull over,but like the earlier post till they come out with another landscaped droid like this,i will be droidpro'ing it,oohrah and semperfi!!!! and if you pull over very much over here you are a sitting duck or should i say devil dog
[Droid Pro General] freak4dell:
Changing the portrait keyboard to a landscape one would go against everything that the Pro line was intended to be. Let's leave the landscape keyboards to the regular Droid line.
[Droid Pro General] nutpn:
it comes with a convenience key already for designated camera
[Droid Pro General] abzalus:
better plastic cover

If the new pro is coming it surely must support ussd functionality and better plastic like in those HTC phones
[Droid Pro General] @Class:
Care to clarify? Pressing the key that should take a picture opens the calendar. You can re-assign it but not to take a picture.
[Droid Pro General] AliensWanted:
The ability to work on AT&T.....
[Droid Pro General] acm1108:
Wider keyboard BB Curve/Bold style
[Droid Pro General] SuperDeform:
Higher mp camera and a 64gb internal memory
[Droid Pro General] clifference:
better battery, trackpad, hard buttons instead of soft capactive buttons, including call and end call. dedicated camera button. slightly better pixel density. and fix the software bugs. not too much of a change required to make it much better. but getting rid of blur would probably help the battery/bugs.
[Droid Pro General] jthomas1987:
Glad too see I am not the only one who thought this.

A true ''WORLD PHONE'' would be awesome!!! The reason I say this is because I travel quite a bit for work, both overseas and here in the US. I am tired of carrying 2 and sometimes 3 phones just to stay in communication. Give me a true world phone, one that can be used both on CDMA and GSM networks overseas and in the US. I know, Moto says its a ''world phone'', yet they lock out AT&T and T-Mobile freqs, but not overseas freqs. If I am going to buy this phone outright, (which I am willing to do), then it`s mine to use as I see fit. I am paying the bill, some don`t cripple me just to tie me to the most expensive carrier out there, namely Verizon.
[Droid Pro General] aZzz.bZzz:
- full GSM support (more stability, ussd codes support etc)

- better screen

- more metal in housing

- better battery life

- physical buttons instead of capacitive
[Droid Pro General] broomulack:
You can set the home button to double-tap to almost any application on the phone. I have mine set to the camera. Go into 'applications' and scroll down to find the option for launching with a double tap.
[Captivate General] Dante04SRT:
Even as a tech savvy individual, for whatever reason, until a month ago I had pretty much buried my head in the sand as far as smartphones were concerned. I guess my extreme hatred for Apple products and my perceived understanding public's adoration of the iPhone (and like devices) kept me away.

In any case, our contracts were up for renewal, so I decided to go "all out", do some research and finally get a phone that had all the gadgets with it.

Overall, I'm happy with the Captivate. Granted, between Samsung and AT&T, things aren't perfect, but it seems that we have an incredible amount of non-commercial support on our side in the form of various forums and the ROM developers.

My big question is, how long does anyone expect that the Cappy will still be "current"? Realizing of course that it isn't a 4G phone, and currently only runs (stock) 2.1 and won't be "among the best/fastest" for ever, how much longer do you think new ROMs and other developments will be made for it? What kind of phone/technology will take people's attention elsewhere? I'm hoping that even though I've joined the Cappy crowd late, that I still have some time to enjoy the new stuff (Roms in particular) for it.
[Captivate General] Aquarianperry:
Well, going on AT&T's Track record of EOL marks they will probably stop selling captivates around May/June, I think with custom ROMs you can get a good 2 1/2 years out of it before it starts feeling really old, that will probably be around the time when the quad core processors are the new and high range device norm and dual core processors are the entry and mid range Android devices.
[Captivate General] SkitchBeatz:
It depends. The lack of support from Samsung may discourage developers as most I've seen are looking for greener pastures.
[Captivate General] boborone:
I totally see that side of things, but just to play devil's advocate, I have a fuze and it still sees development and never got an official update from 6.1 to 6.5.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
A new release of software or hardware doesn't magically render an older device useless. It'll still do everything it could when you bought it.
[Captivate General] boborone:
yep, as long as people enjoy it, it will continue

look at how long it takes xda to put phones in the legacy devices catagory
[Captivate General] Dante04SRT:
That's really what I am hoping to see - I'd really hate to feel like I just got this thing and in 2 months it'll be outdated - I mean, I really can't see a device doing any more than this thing already does... short of maybe HD Video out; but isn't that just overkill on a phone?
[Captivate General] MastaBetta:
The day the devs here on XDA stop making spectacular roms and kernels is the day the Galaxy S dies with me.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
Voodoo sound (and the microphone volume fix while recording video) is the single reason I didn't buy an Inspire/Atrix.

Yet, anyway.
[Captivate General] fractaline:
so good to hear there is still some enthusiasm for the captivate, i'm still waiting for mine to arrive. this tech liberation movement is the main reason i was willing to take the plunge.

power to the people!:D
[Captivate General] rpicaso:
Amen, brother!
[Captivate General] Sqb:
Nevermind at&t. As long as the great developers and people at xda keep giving us access to such great things the captivate w will always rule 1ghz phones

Sent from my captivate on a rock in the middle of the ocean!
[Captivate General] Evilspawn:
I'm with ya guys.
[Captivate General] FLAC Vest:
Well 2.2 is out now right? The first thing you should.do regardless is install a custom rom on the phone that has 2.2.

After that... customize the phone and make ir yours.

However, concerning the life expectancy.... it should be relavent for a while; the phone is very fast and has a good build.

I have had mine since June and I.think ill be upgrading to.tthe Galaxy S 2 when that.comes out.

Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon
[Captivate General] mesasone:
Not useless, but with some new apps and updates requiring 2.2 (and soon 2.3/2.4 I'd presume) it is frustrating to find yourself unable to run the cool new apps and games after a while.
[Captivate General] AlecKyle:
Trust me, there are plenty of more things phones can do, do do, and are planning to do in close future, such as finger print reading, 3d recording, a part to read real time temperature of wherever you are. of course, they are always improving cameras with more mega pixels, making phones faster with more CPU and RAM, making phones slimmer, etc. A lot of phones don't have HD out, like the Captivate. But that will be a lot more popular.

I am so ready for the next generation of phones that are coming out soon

My earspeaker volume is horrible. Is there a mod or any way to increase it. I was searching around the internet and found a way to do it with the Vibrant. But not the nexus s. I would have even tried the vibrant one just to see but it wasn't a flashable mod. Just a phone number and a bunch of code. I dont know what to do with that information... Please help!

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesparky007:
considering we see so many people flashing sprint phones over to say cricket or some other provider, there should be a way to flash verizon phones over to sprint right?

I am not sure how it works nor do i have the knowledge to think about how to make it work but it seems to be a possibility and if it is i would like to know how to go about doing it.

I love the sprint service but sprint is way behind in terms of getting new android phones and all they want seems like ones with external keyboards which i really dont need. Verizon on the other hand has some great phones and more that are coming. Sprint's best offering right now, the Evo seems kind of outdated considering how old it is.

so if there is a way of flashing verizon phones over to sprint and if someone has done it, please enlighten me
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stayclean:
Is this a new rom?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aiwetir:
wrong forum

NO sprint will only provision phones whose esns are in their database listed as phones that they have sold. It's been discussed ad nauseum all over the interwebs.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rampop:
Much as aiwetir said, Sprint is pretty strict (i.e. won't consider it at all) in bringing in non-Sprint phones. I'm told Verizon takes Sprint non-smartphones but I hear that's hit or miss. Either way, why would you want to?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nate14:
Like he said, because of Sprint's lack of new Android phones.

I recommend to unlock your Bootloader, this procedure SIM-unlocks the phone. See the development thread, there are many topics about unlocking.
[XPERIA X8 General] Darksh:
Bootloader

Actually it doesn't, you need to pay for the code or use setools2 and it isn't free either. So right now there's no free way to sim-unlock the x8.
[XPERIA X8 General] obynio:
Yes, you can use setools2 but it's not free !!!

hello, so i was running 23 for a while now and gps lock on worked great. then i did nandroid back then cleared cache and diviak. then of course loaded rom from sccard. please help, dont know what to do.
[HTC Aria General] tommyguns818:
There is a new nightly out also. I wonder if it fixed that. Anyone else have this problem?
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
if i were you, i would try the cm6 fix. the instructions for this fix or workaround or whatever you want to call it have been posted numerous times in this thread.
[HTC Aria General] tommyguns818:
thanks for the reply. i did the cm6 install and then loaded nightly 23. GPS was working. worked great but had to download and install all these apps that weren't backed up properly fom titanium and just had to redo the whole phone, contacts, everything. pain in the butt. then i learned that once on a nightly, all you do is wipe cache, diviak and bam....load new nightly. so i went from 23 now onto the new CM7 RC1 without redoing any apps and contacts and what not. awesome. so zervic, your telling me if i do the cm6 fix, i have to do factory reset and do the whole thing over again as in restoring everything? or can i just wipe cache and divack, and install cm6?
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
incorrect. you do not have to factory reset. the reason for this is because, you take a nandroid backup of your cm7 before you wipe your data, after the install of cm6 you'll be restoring that back up, settings, apps, etc included. I would search to find the exact steps for this "cm6 fix" though...but yea, do not worry about your apps and all that, they will be backed up. also. factory reset from clockwork, not from within the phone (i.e. in the ROM). if you do that, it wipes your SIM too..
