Learn swype and you'll never go back to a keyboard.

I have it, and it is 100x better then the Droid keyboard. But in general still annoying for me to use, especially when I am trying to touch type while i listen in a meeting or something.

have you guys tried out the Gingerbread keyboard thats available? I have Swype preloaded on my DX, as you all know, but I like the Gingerbread one better. The autospell is awesome and I get texts sent off way faster than with Swype.

[Tenbatsuzen]

So it looks, hopefully, that the Merge will be arriving soon, possibly before the end of the month. Of course, if there's another delay, I will call this phone the worst cocktease ever.

It's just surprising to me how many people are hating on this phone because it's not top of the line, 4G, superphone. What it is, it's a mid-level entry phone. That's all I need or want. Reading comments on Engadget is like an army of Mexis.

Does anybody know of a better music player then MixZing? I like it cuz it lets you edit but the shuffle feature isn't the best..I have about 2800 songs on file and it's about as easy to access as my ipod..It also allows you to search your catalog about 5 different ways..I'm pretty happy with it but if there's a better one, I'd give it a try..

That was the resident music player..I didn't love it, mainly because it didn't slow you to edit and nothing irks my ocd more then when the artist and song don't match up..

wow. The amount of butthurt on Droid-Life because the Thunderbolt isn't out yet is fucking STAGGERING.

There are literally hundreds of comments from people who are convinced Verizon's relationship with Apple spells doom for Android and Verizon is intentionally delaying the phone to focus on Apple products.

Is there anything on the market place or anything I can do to disable the shutter sound when I take a picture?

On my evo go to the camera screen like you are taking a picture.

Hit the menu button, go to setting, then go to shutter sound and change to off.

Nope. I have a Droid X and there's nothing in the settings except an option for a shutter animation. I though maybe someone put out a app for droid that acts as the camera minus the annoying picture sound.

I turned all phone sounds off and it does the trick.

I wondered because I didn't see an option to turn it off in the settings. All my previous phones had one but I remembered recently there was discussion on capital hill about making it mandatory that all phones make a sound when taking pictures so that it was harder for people to sneak pictures of people without them knowing.

[Jayw]

man do I love Amazon. I could rave about them forever but if you have a phone that can run angry birds and it is not ATT go get this! I have sprint/evo worked great, I read some reviews that the amazon store doesnt work with att.

It is the paid angry birds rio app but for free so no adds!

Their is no catch I just downloaded it expecting something weird to happen but nothing. Just a gimmick to use the amazon app store, which I never heard of. So it is working, hah.

This is a very durable phone. I've learned that you can throw this phone, have it hit a wall and explode out the battery and cover, and reassemble it multiple times.

[Misteriosa]

why are you throwing your phone? :huh:

[KC2OSO]

why are you throwing your phone? :huh:
Several reasons. Anger management issues one. Two, I've never hated an electronic device more than this thing. Again I'm to blame me for being the luddite but I've found this phone to be difficult in general to use. Simply answering the phone is tedious at times. Other things about it are ok.
Having seen the iPhone, I can't wait to get out from under this thing.

What did you get?

[KC2OSO]

What did you get?
Nothing yet. The fucking thing won't die but it's gotten flaky. The phone rings and I swipe away and it doesn't pick up. None of the companies I've worked for will let me on their Exchange servers with it. I'm not up for a renewal until October so I'll have to wait until then. It's insured so if it does break one of these days, I'll have some options.

[Crispy123]

I hve had the HTC tilt since 2008, which is a great phone just old & kind of bulky. So I ordered the HTC inspire 4g yesterday. I read good things and I wanted an Android phone so I finally did it. Should be here tomorrow.

The only drawback I really got from the reviews was no 3rd party apps but I also saw forums for dealing with that. Anybody have any experience, maybe some tips, on this issue?

Thanx

You're gonna wanna shut off that Motoblur crap instantly. It gets really annoying.

Anyone get the Thunderbolt yet? I'm eligible upgrade and am eyeing that one, no need for a keyboard anymore after I've mastered swype. But, as discussed here, I hope it will be as durable as my OG droid, as I drop that shit ALLL the time and it never breaks.

Another reason why I will never get an iphone... too delicate. I know too many people with cracked screens.

I beat the shit out of my HTC Incredible and it's fine. The case cracked, but the phone is still great. It's a pretty durable phone, even thought you feel like you could crush it in your hand. I would imagine the t-bolt would be similar. And I really want one.

I'm getting a Thunderbolt this Tuesday. I went to get a new phone this week and the kind girl at the Verizon store told me that my upgrade kicks in then and I wouldn't have to pay a $20 upgrade fee, so I'm saving $50.

She mentioned that the only problem is with the battery, as that it runs down very quickly if you're on the phone a lot during the day. There was a problem with the software, however, they will be releasing a patch to fix that problem within the next month and it will go directly into the phone so there is no need to take it back to the store.

I'm excited for the Thunderbolt as I've read nothing but great reviews, like this one:

Verizon’s HTC Thunderbolt: The First True 4G Smartphone (http://www.shellypalmer.com/2011/03/verizons-htc-thunderbolt-the-first-true-4g-smartphone/)

not a great review really.

"Which is better, the Thunderbolt or the Atrix? As you will see from the comparison at the end of this article, they are very similar in features. The Thunderbolt is a smartphone on steroids, the Atrix is a miniature netbook computer. Which type of device do you want to carry? Which is better is in the eyes (and needs) of the user. I am putting my Verizon iPhone 4 on eBay tonight and getting a Thunderbolt."

That is just silly. the fact that the thunderbolt is, is it is actually just like a Droid X, with 4g really. Other than that, there is not much new under the hood. Oh and the front facing camera. It isnt a bad looking phone though.

in further reading of that review, it is stupid.

So, i got my phone (the Motorola Defy) and i'm loving it. still figuring out how to customize everything. i've got my facebook and yahoo mail linked to it. i had twitter linked to it as well, but there are just far too many updates from it, especially when you follow Kevin Smith who breaks up paragraphs of thoughts into multiple posts. the phone is really responsive though....video looks great and streams without catching. 7 main screens leave lots of options for apps and what not. i digs it.

You need to set the phone to only notify you when someone @'s you or DMs you. Then if you want to just read your stream, you open the app (I use tweetcaster)

ok, cool....i'll give that a try, though i mainly just have twitter to follow a few comedians and dana white, so nobody really responds directly to me. thanks for that.

hey, can you add your xbox live as a notification or is that something thats phone specific?

[Furtherman]

I've had the Thunderbolt for a couple days now and it's amazing. It'll take me a while to get use to it - my first touch screen phone - but it's fast as hell and has some amazing apps. Easy to navigate too. The only minus is that the battery goes quick due to a software malfunction but the company is sending out a patch to the phones automatically this month which will fix the problem.

I have the original droid. I don't have it rooted, and I don't do a lot of shit on it. I use it for texting, podcasts, streaming music from my home computer via Audiogalaxy, and ocassionally twitter. That's it.

Yet, I keep having to deal with "phone storage is getting low" messages, despite the fact that over 90% of my built-in storage and SD card storage is free. I've cleared the caches that I know have data (podcast player, text messages), and that's usually good enough. Not this time. Those goddamn droid forums have nothing to say on this, and the cache cleaner I downloaded from the Market does absolutely nothing.

WTF can I do?

I was having the same issue with my droid, so I uninstalled a few apps and deleted all my text messages and a few pictures. It seems to have worked. If you've done all that, I have no idea what to try.

i love meeting new rf people, so fucking get a new phone fag, that shit is old as gvac. for fucks sake get a razr phone.

Anyway, my wife had this problem and she just deleted actual texts and apps. If you want to keep your texts try looking up a text back up app. Im pretty sure handcent can do it but you might need to sign up online for it.

And if you can come out here I can actually look at the phone HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

srsly though, sucks man, but like LZMF1 says, i've never had that problem either. And I have a ton of apps on my DX, so im not sure what eating your memory.

Maybe the streaming apps are cache something you can't erase unless you are well...rooted.

are you going to start to whine about new phones not having good enough keyboards for you too?


AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhahahahahah

Yeah I've been having that problem with my droid 1 for a while. I just kept doing the same thing erasing apps and texts. Its true not much more you can do without rooting or a new phone.

Didn't mean to be so asshole-ish, mexi. Imwas just seethingnhaving to go through this again.

The first time it happened, just deleting texts worked. Months later, same thing. The third time was a bit sooner, and also emptying the podcast player cache did the trick. This time was the 2nd time in 2 weeks. I have no texts or podcasts to delete. I finally got it to work by looking at the size of my apps and deleting a couple...which I shouldn't have to do on a phone that is only using a fraction of it's total built-in space.

A new phone will be purchased this year, but I don't care enough to switch every time there's a new model.

Btw, I'm hardly "new" here.

I use the XM app on the Droid X and it works fine, only bad thing, the battery on the phone is not the greatest and when the XM App is running it really takes a drain on the battery. Only thing that sucks with the Droid..battery life sort of sucks.

SSEYAYYEAAAA

I have the Droid X and the same thing used to happen to me. Did you download the app killer? Since I got it I haven't had a problem with battery life.

The thing is when I go into the app killer there are all these apps running that I never turned on which is what the Verizon guy told me was happening and was draining my battery and why I needed the app killer. I don't understand how all these apps are arbitrarily turning themselves on. I suspect its a glitch with the design of the phone. But, again, since I got the app killler I don't have any complaints (except for wifi mode - that eats the battery like crazy).

It's just bloatware put on by verizon. If you root your phone (I haven't), you can delete these programs and stop them from running. It's really fucking annoying, though. It's just shit verizon puts on your phone that you're not supposed to delete that they want you to use.

[biggestmexi]

If it makes phone calls, I can text on it, and it can be a wi-fi hotspot, I really don't need that much from a phone.

I know the WiFi is a battery killer, but I use it a lot, at home and work. I will look for the app killer. I used the XM app on Thursday and started to listen to O&A at 6, and by 8:30 the phone was almost dead. Even though the XM app does not work the best with my work WiFi. Also I can't believe the delay with the XM app...fuckin giant. But in areas where I work, basements and certain locations the XM signal is dead on my MyFi, so the app is great. Any recommendation for a actual App Killer?

Also with the Droid X, It is a great MP3 player, use it all the time and with the Amazon MP3 app it works great. I am really happy with this phone and hey I better be, I am stuck with it for 2 more years. But no real complaints.

Got a full upgrade after one year and turned in the Epic 4G for the Nexus S 4g. The phone rules and even though hardware wise it is very near the same as the Epic it is much faster, much better battery life.

My first pure Google phone. Fantastic not having to remove bloat, rooting is a sinch, Gingerbread is nice, and god damn does the Netflix app rule.

Does anyone out here have any experience with PDAnet on a verizon android phone.

I know that you now have to side load it but is it really as simple as they make is sound ? Is there anyway for verizon to figure out that you are using it to tether ?

How'd you scam the upgrade a year early? I've had my Epic for about 6 months and I love it but I have commitment issues, so if there's something better I think I might wanna at least check it out..

[styckx]

It is faster. Has gingerbread. It is a pure google phone so no bloat and gets priority updates. No longer need to wait for Sprint and samsung to take forever to release operates. Build quality is much better. The sales rep at the corporate store I go to said they are running a special for sprint silver premiere customers that they can get a full upgrade early if they are at least a year into a two year contract.

I think if you have wifi on and you're not connected to your network it will drain it because it's constantly searching for a connection.

[TooCute]

OGC - I used to use it but went with EasyTether instead. don't need to actually "connect" every time, just plug in the usb and you're ready to go. I've been using it for over a year on weekends (and all summer, 3 months, and 1.5 months in winter) for all my internet needs, including streaming netflix and hulu and whatnot, works great and no problems thusfar. I got the paid version so I could do https sites and so on.

Thanks for mentioning this.. Skeptical cat was skeptical because the last I remembered of AudioGalaxy it was a file sharing site back in the day. Then I saw it was yet another app that claimed to stream mp3s from home to your phone.. Shockingly enough it actually works, and works damn well. I haven't had a cut out, skip, stutter or fart yet..

yeah, I remembered it from being a file sharing app, but it works great in it's new incarnation.

My only issue with it so far is every once in a while, my library won't update right away. But other than that, I love this app.

I get that a lot. My wife would send me a picture via bluetooth and I would get it but not update in my pictures. Same with downloading music from the Amazon cloud. I download the song and it would not update in my music library. I restart the phone and Bang they show up. I am going to contact Motorola and see what they say....anyone experiencing this?

299, seems worth it so far

You got ripped... Amazon Wireless offers it for 199.

Not a big fan of the Charge's build quality, and people are questioning if it'll ever get Gingerbread updates. Could be conjecture, I dunno.

Is there a reason you went Charge over Tbolt or Revolution?

I liked the Thunderbolt and the Revolution better myself when I went to look at these the other day. I didnt love the charge but didnt hate it but you didnt get more for the money. The best deal might be on the thunderbolt!

Samsung Galaxy Prevail. After 10+ years with AT&T, I finally decided to save $32 a month and get Boost. I really hope they keep their current plan for a long time. If they do, after a year and a half, I'll only be paying $35 a month. The Sprint network sucks in general, but it works fine where I live.

I wish it had Flash, but shit... I didn't have Flash before, and my old phone sucked balls.

I was actually thinking about getting that phone. Its a lot like the optimus. They are both really good med level android phones. They will do most of what you want you will be missing some upper end things but who cares you will be paying half the price per month with no contract. I had sprint for close to 10 years then Tmobile for 6 or 7 years. Now the past year I have been on prepaid and love it because the freedom of leaving from provider to provider and when you buy a phone its keeps its value! I have had MetroPCS and had good service at the best price but their 1x data sucks. MetroPCS 4g service is much faster. Boost has that new shrinkage that is great. To pay $35 a month unlimited everything after 18 months is a great deal and 3g is better then Metros 1x right now but by the end of the year Metro should be 4g network wide while I have no idea when or if Boost will get 4g. Virgin Mobile is the same thing as Boost but they have a really good deal right now for people who use data more then minutes. They have unlimited 3g data and text messaging with only 300 talking minutes for $25 a month. The great thing about that deal is if your get the groovIP app you can call via your data while not using any minutes so it becomes an unlimited everything plan for $25 a month!

Im going to be getting that app to try it out if anyone has tried it and let us know what you think!

Sorry been busy, I contacted Motorola via the chat on their web site. Explained the situation. I asked if anyone else was having problems with the update, and the tech said he did not know, but would report that since the update my phone runs like shit. Both phones.

The Tech told me to do the take out battery and restart, which I did a few times before. He then wanted me to send in my phone for repair. But I told him that since the update both phones are running screwy, so I told him I would not send it in. He then gave a number to a 2nd tier tech. I saved the number but did not get a change to call. I do not think it is the phone or even apps. I just thing the update is a little buggy and needs a patch..but then again what the hell do I know.

I also purchased 2 extended battery. Do they last longer, yes but not much longer. Actually one of the battery's did not seam to last longer, I contacted Verizon and they sent me another battery. Verizon's prices suck but their customer service is dam good.

As for the master reset, I think I will hold off right now, see if another update comes out.

Thanks for the info, and if I hear anything more will let you know.

I got the Thunderbolt yesterday and I love it. I'm getting 4g speeds of about 10MBdown/4MBup. My home internet was crappy yesterday and my cell phone was faster. I'm not really having any horrible battery issues. I turned down screen brightness and that helps... I've been using the phone normally today since 8am (calls, texts, internet browsing/fb/twitter on 4g) and I still have 30% battery.

The only crappy things I've run into so far are no camera button (I can deal) and GPS takes a few seconds to lock on my location when I boot up maps (it was instant on my OG Droid).

Does anyone w/ a tbolt know how to share a picture to FB/Twitter directly from Camera? On my regular droid, I'd take the pic, it would show it, and there would be a "share" button right there. On this one, it seems I have to share it from the gallery instead of being able to do it right from the camera?

My regular Droid was starting to get really slow and had random reboots... but I factory reset it and gave it to my brother (1st smartphone), so hopefully it will last a while for him while he saves up the cash to buy the phone he wants

Right after you take the picture, you'll see a icon with two arrows pointing up. Hit that and it will take you to a menu of social apps you can send it to. If it disappears, just hit the screen towards the bottom of the picture (not the menu) and it will pop up again.

The magic wand looking icon will also let you edit the photo with some cool effects.

Just wanted to update..I was having major problems after the Droid update..I was doing some searching and I found a forum post. Found other people were having the same problems, someone suggested doing a wipe the cache partition.. and since doing this the phone seams to run better...here is what you do.

Turn off your phone and remove the battery. Wait at least 30 seconds and install the battery (removing the battery insures that your phone's volatile memory is cleared).
With the phone turned off, press and hold the Home button.
While still pressing the Home button, press the Power button to turn on the phone.
After the red Motorola logo appears, release both buttons. An /!\ Android logo should appear in the middle of the display.
Press both the Volume up/down buttons at the same time to summon the "Android system recovery" menu.
Use the same Volume up/down buttons one at a time to select the “wipe cache partition” command.
Press the Power button to execute the command.
It takes only about 20 seconds for the cache to be wiped by being reformatted. After it is finished, the "Android system recovery" menu will reappear and you can select another command.
To exit the "Android system recovery" menu, select the “reboot system now” command and press the Power button. Your phone will restart.

Again seams to work better and I do not get any immediate dropped/hang up calls.

Hope this help...SSEYEYYAAAA

Does anybody else have a problem with the Siriusxm app?

The BlackBerry app didn't do that, pisses me off.

It does that because email and i think TXT messages go through as data. The shitty siriusxm app also utilizes data so it shuts down the data feed for it when you're checking email and or TXTs unless you have a 4G LTE device. That being said i haven't even bothered with the siriusxm app on my thunderbolt. I get 4G where i live i just have no faith in the app.

actually I can send and recieve both while listening, only when the notification that I am recieving one or the other sounds off IS there is a momentary interruption of the XM . That is normal to the program and not a problem. What I am describing is an inability to multitask for more than a minute or two, it is a sitiuation where the app must be up front in order to work, it cannot be minimized without turning itself off after a couple of minutes. For instance I could be listening, minimize, open facebook, read for a few minutes, close FB, maximize XM and all is well, but forget the maximize step and XM will shut off.

Sort of blows with the new data plan. I think it sort of suck. Verizon has great service but their prices are fuckin nuts. Only thing I really hate about them...but if you don't upgrade your phone they can not charge you the new rates.

I really liked the droid X but ever since the upgrade in software..just not good. Also battery life sucks. I bought the extend battery and I still have a to charge it everyday. I do use it a lot but I feel it is not much better.

I say throw the cells out the window and go back to carrier pigeon...

they are a new verizon prepaid service provider. you can bring any phone from any cdma service and activate it. if you already have a verizon phone you just pay the activation fee and your monthly fee with no tax. $70 a month flat for unlimited talk, text and 1 gb data no taxes and no other fees. the only thing that sucks is they dont allow mms(picture messages) but you can just get those via email anyway.

They've already said that even when you upgrade your phone, you won't be charged under the new data plan rates. It's only for new lines of service. I had been holding off on getting my brother a smart phone for a while, but I threw him on a plan right before they went to the tiered plans so he'd be grandfathered in under unlimited data.

My android updated from 2.2 to 2.3.3 which I believe is gingerbread? Since the update the phones touch screen is way too sensitive. Every time I tap something I get a double tap or if I want to scroll I press things rather then scroll. Does anyone know how to change the sensitivity or how to go back to 2.2? This has made the phone almost unusable, its more work then anything to try to do the simplest of things.

Verizon customers are getting a wonderful gift. Nexus phones > *

it will be available for 7 different carriers.

I wish it was exclusive though

[styckx]

Good I'm glad. Exclusivity sucks. The quicker cross carrier phones become the norm instead of a rarity the quicker the fragmentation of Android itself can end. Hell the Samsung Epic 4g is still sitting on Froyo, they were promised Gingerbread over 6 months ago. Meanwhile I'm sitting on Gingerbread 2.3.7 with Google Wallet. And will have a Google delivered version of ICS before years end.

I do not believe that phone exclusives is the reason for fragmentation. It is the timing of the phones, carriers, and the OS release's.

Most of the time it is the Phone Manufacturer. Google gives everyone the same amount of time to get the updates, what the carrier does with them is not Google's control.

I have my phone rooted. All day I've been getting notices to update my system. From what I've read, doing a system update is bad if you're rooted and have removed bloatware. So, does anyone know how I can get my phone to stop asking to update?

Get SMS Backup, Titanium Backup and ROM Manager. Use tibu to backup all your apps and settings, use ROM Manager to create a complete system backup image in case something goes wrong, and backup all your text messages. Restore your phone to factory, upgrade, re-root, restore your apps and texts. In a nutshell at least.

Or just start using a custom ROM. I have an Epic 4G Touch (my first android phone), and I haven't used the stock ROM in a while. Sprint still hasn't fixed the loss of signal bug yet. I had to reboot my phone 5 times a day to get service back. The carrier process for approving software updates, no matter how slight, is ridiculous. I have to give Apple credit for having more control over their updates.

[PapaBear]

When I back this stuff up, does it go to my memory card? I backed everything up with Titanium this morning. I'm assuming it's all on my card, because there's a file there, but it doesn't have much in the way of data in it.

Im waiting for after xmas, something tells me there will be a great sale.

I almost bought the htc evo 4g view tablet the other day. its similar to the evo 4g phone but its a full tablet. i have the evo phone so i figured it would be great to get the tablet but it was only a 7" tablet. the price was excellent especially for a 1.5 ghz processor on a tablet, buy.com (i think it was buy.com) had an ebay 1 day sale for $229 reg price was like $399 or $499. its still on sale but back to $299.

How is the 10" tablet is it too big to use as an e-reader with bn or kindle apps?

In my opinion.. No.. It's perfect.. I saw the smaller tablets and they didn't do what I wanted. The beauty of this is you can set your browser user agent to Desktop and actually read full webpages formatted to the screen correctly. Dual core and Tegra is awesome too.. Was playing GTA 3 earlier. :) I rooted it just for the sake of rooting it but it's pretty unnecessary. I haven't figured out a way to remove bloat yet.. The standard Gingerbread method of deleting the apk's from system/app doesn't seem to fly on Honeycomb.. I'll figure that out eventually.. It's not a lot of bloat though. It's the perfect companion to my phone.

I haven't had a problem yet other than when I first got it. When it installs your apps from your Gmail, it adds a home screen icon for most of them. When you try to take them off while it is doing that you get fc. So you have to wait for a home screen to fill up then start deleting them.

Figured that out.. Tick the menu button in the market, settings, disable adding widgets when apps install. Weird they did that buy default.. Could imagine allowing google to restore your market apps? You'd have the homescreen filled in minutes and constant "no room left on this home screen" messages.

That wasn't the DROID Razr. You haven't seen the regular Droid anywhere else, you haven't seen Droid X anywhere else, you won't see the Droid Razr anywhere else either. Verizon is the one leasing the Droid trademark from Lucas, they either helped finance development of the phone or paid for it to be exclusive.
