how is that google, a company of engineers through and through, does such a better job with marketing than microsoft?

i'm a little disappointed by the hardware on the nexus s

was hoping for a dual core or maybe even the orion

There is to many pages to read over so I'm gonna try and ask this,

How do I get the viberate feature to work with my notifications and not just incoming calls. My junk is set on "viberate all" but doesn't do shit on emails and texts. The green light is the only thing that tells me I have a notification.

Thanks
Motorola Droid

12/6/2010 7:23:43 PM

VIBERATE

ALL

12/6/2010 7:25:25 PM

ha what the fuck. i dont remember putting the e in. lol

12/6/2010 8:48:35 PM

Pretty sure my original Fascinate was a dud, even with how well it performed. The replacement they shipped yesterday is snappier, doesn't lag, etc. and all the strange quirks I had with the first are gone. Thank goodness.

also, GINGERBREAD? HONEYCOMB? WTF, I JUST GOT FROYO LIKE A MONTH AGO.

12/7/2010 8:59:02 AM

don't feel bad. The Nexus S will be out with Gingerbread before I get Froyo.

12/7/2010 9:02:08 AM

Just installed Winamp and I think it'll be taking over the music playing duties on my Evo

12/7/2010 9:34:20 AM

any chance we'll see custom 2.3 roms for Droid1?

12/7/2010 3:16:49 PM

probably in one form or another. I mean they have it running on the Eris. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863156

woke up to the 2.3 update for my OG Droid!

wasn't expecting that for awhile

12/9/2010 9:27:49 AM

It's not 2.3: http://support.vzw.com/information/droid_upgrade.html

[Edited on December 9, 2010 at 9:32 AM. Reason : ...]

12/9/2010 9:31:36 AM

yeah, should be 2.2.1 which is just minor update to fix some exchange issues and other bugs.

If anyone wants a good MP3 downloader check out MusicBox

12/9/2010 11:11:49 AM

any updates on the incredible hd? i really wanna get that and get the unlimited data plan before verizon gets rid of it

12/9/2010 6:06:09 PM

Last I heard, that was probably going to be an LTE device and we wouldn't actually see it in person till CES. So I would estimate mid-2011 but nobody really knows.

12/9/2010 9:58:29 PM

^I'd say early-mid Q2 would be when most of the LTE androids start hitting the market

"Motorola: DROID 2 Didn’t Explode, Dude Dropped It and Cut His Ear On 12.10.10, In News, by Kellex Remember the exploding Droid 2 from last week that crushed some guy’s ear, leading his shadiness it to bleed all over the internet in a set of ridiculous pictures? Well, I’m sure you’ll be so surprised to know that the guy was potentially lying. Shocker, I know. Motorola has commented to Gearlog this morning, confirming that the phone was likely dropped, leaving the screen cracked. The man then cut his ear on the cracked glass after forgetting Childhood No-Nos 101 which says, “stay clear of broken glass you fool.” Motorola also made it clear that nothing exploded in this device: [T]he only things that could explode in a phone would have resulted in a phone that did not work, yet this phone worked. And there was no explosive damage to the device (things inside blown outward, etc). I love scamsters. They make for great internet reading."

Sweet, I'll have to get this again. I had it before, but it stopped working when my Incredible got the Froyo update. I didn't feel like going through Swype's painful bug reporting process/fix.

12/10/2010 3:48:27 PM

ok, I'm getting lost looking at droid phones for Verizon wireless.

Best buy has the HTC incredible for free right now w/ a renewal (which I'm up for anyway)...am I going to be let down by it?

12/10/2010 4:11:46 PM

^It's a bit old and you'll probably need to buy an extended battery, but otherwise it's a good phone.

12/10/2010 5:52:04 PM

yeah - i saw a droid X and felt like it was too big. the Droid 2 is ok, but the keyboard didn't impress me much. is there a "best" option for VZW right now? there is new every 2 prices available online for me (which is really just $50 off current prices in most cases)

12/10/2010 6:09:15 PM

i would just wait till the 4g phones come out and retroactively apply your discount to one of those.

12/10/2010 6:26:56 PM

^^ honestly you'll get used to the size of the X pretty quickly. I was worried about it but after a few days, it just felt normal. My sister even carries one now and she came from a flip phone.

12/10/2010 6:47:54 PM

^bingo.

12/10/2010 7:09:04 PM

yeah don't worry too much about the droid x's size. if you can wait a couple months then do it and you'll be more satisfied though. dual-core gingerbread phones are just around the corner

12/10/2010 11:14:06 PM

The Droid X is awesome; you'll get used to the size in no time... and if you're like me, you'll never want a smaller phone again.

12/11/2010 1:54:32 PM

^

Agreed 100%

12/11/2010 4:14:40 PM

How does the DroidX compare in speed to the Incredible?

12/11/2010 7:09:52 PM

^It's[DX] got faster hardware, especially on the graphics end of things

12/11/2010 10:28:35 PM

bit the bullet and got the wife and me the droid x. i'm guessing the first thing i need to do is root it?

12/12/2010 4:59:18 PM

you don't have to, but if you do there are some fun things that you can do with root.

12/12/2010 5:13:03 PM

for a phone-tech n00b, can someone explain what rooting does?

12/12/2010 5:57:39 PM

there's rooting and then there's NAND unlocking

a full root does both

a simple root will just give you access to run apps as a super user. apps like wifi tether only need you to have access to super user commands to run them.

a NAND unlock will allow you to flash a customized version of your phone's ROM to your device. there are lots of developers who customize the hell out of android and then share it for the community to use. this allows you to use the latest and greatest kernel releases and builds, theme things up the wazoo, and customize your phone completely from bootscreens to animations to everything.

12/12/2010 8:13:03 PM

free wifi tether is badass. just got it working

any other rooted apps yall recommend?

12/12/2010 9:29:40 PM

LCD Density Changer
Adfree
MyBackup Pro

12/12/2010 10:29:10 PM

^^ wifi tether only works for me for like 10-15 minutes and then cuts out, and i usually end up having to reboot the phone or something to get it working again. anyone else know how to fix this?

12/12/2010 11:37:31 PM

never had a problem with it.

Hmm, so its looking like DX over incredible?

If you get the Incredible over the X, you're dumb.
