    Root Why are we not getting any XDA love?

    Well, getting root was simple enough; this should be more incentive for developers to love this phone! I know most of you who know Java probably already have a TB or are waiting for the Bionic/GS2, but come on, the Revo is the best LTE phone currently out and the best one on the horizon for...

    Buy a Charge at Costco if you're going to buy one

    Costco is a much better deal for the Charge; $250 instead of $300, they waive the restocking fee if you want to cancel your contract within 14 days, and (best part), you can return the phone within 90 days and buy another phone from them and stay on your existing contract. Good idea for those of...

    Root Do NOT install ED2 update

    Hey guys, I bought a Charge and was unfortunate enough to have the ED2 update on it already. Don't do it. It's improvements to the media hub and a patch that blocks GingerBreak so you can't get root. Now I'm sitting here with a pathetic stock phone. Luckily, I can tether because we have the...

    The pricing fiasco and my take on it

    Okay, so I see that 75% of the posts here are just complaints about the $300 price tag. I just want to point something out. Hello Humans: Droid By Motorola Arrives Next Week The original Droid was also $300 the day you bought it. There was a $100 mail-in rebate that came with it, though...

    Another release date I was told that will probably be wrong (4/26)

    Topic title says it all. I was at Costco's Verizon kiosk and the guy there, who I've gotten phones from for years, told me that the Charge will be out at Costco on 4/26, "but I didn't hear that from him", as he put it. :D Not that I'm saying he's a liar of course, but these things always get...

    Verizon rep told me 4G data will be $40/mo

    So, because the Droid 1 forum has essentially become the "Droid 1 owners who are fed up with their slow phone and want a new phone forum", I figured I'd inform you guys of this: today I passed by the phone booth at my local Costco and asked the guy, who I know very well, about the Thunderbolt...

    Use an appreciable amount of data? Not for long, you won't!

    Well, for those of us like me who wanted to stay on a 3G plan to keep our unlimited, looks like that course of action has been ruined: Verizon can now throttle top five percent of bandwidth hogs, downres multimedia transfers -- Engadget Yep, that's right. Top 5% of all bandwidth users will be...

    Root RIP bubbly-keyboard Droid

    My Droid kicked the bucket today. It just refuses to turn on. Luckily, my warranty expires in 4 days, but this means I have to give up my beautiful bubbly keyboard. Do they even have refurb Droids available anymore? The lady on the phoen was surprisingly concise. Took me 10 minutes in total to...

    Root Am I the only one that can't find a fast launcher?

    Hey guys, I've noticed lately that the only reason I keep hopping from ROM to ROM is because I'm still looking for a ROM that doesn't take 15 seconds to redraw LauncherPro or ADW when I hit Home. Why does this happen? What can I do about it? I've tried the following, all to no avail: 1)...

    Now I'm kind of wishing the Droid had a cell-phone charm loop

    Come on, be honest. You guys know you want an Android robot cell phone charm. :D

    A minor victory for the Droid in math class? :)

    So I was sitting there in Calculus the other day working on some problems and we always manage to get distracted and start talking about other topics while we do said problems and our teacher usually talks with us. I don't remember quite how we got onto the topic, but we ended up talking about...

    Root Hey, when did we get proxy support!?

    I'm running CyanogenMod 5.0.6.2 and I just noticed that under Wireless and network settings there is a Proxy settings option. It asks you for a hostname and port and lets you choose to use it only under WiFi. My question is: At school they make me connect to "http://proxy.nycboe.org/proxy.pac"...

    Good thinking, Verizon...

    This isn't a specific Droid issue, it's a beef I have with Verizon, but it does piss me off all the same. Just thought I'd share it with you guys and tell you why never to buy a Network Extender. So I bought one thinking "oh great, I have no service at my house, this should clear things up." So...

    Root I'd be surprised if this hasn't been discussed already...

    The notification bar seems to be a bit lacking in terms of features. It would be nice to be able to move around and remove individual notifications; maybe done by a little draggy thing on the left of every notification and an X box at the top right corner? Maybe the ability to move things in...

    Root An awesome little modification I just noticed in CyanogenMod

    Weren't you guys tired of seeing the USB Debugging notification always around? I was, I kept hitting it by accident when I wanted to mount my SD Card. I just realized that the Debugging notification is no longer ongoing in CyanogenMod! I don't know if that's only part of 5.0.5.4 (I just upgraded...

    Root How to enable JIT?

    Hey guys, can anyone who has used JIT before give me a link to how I should enable it(I know Fabolous uses it but I don't know who else)? I tried searching for JIT in this forum and got nothing. Alldroid didn't seem to help much more. It seems like there's really little to no documentation on...

    Root Simple nandroid vs. advanced?

    Hey you guys, what are the settings that you get when you do the Simple Nandroid Restore? I'd like to keep a bunch of Nandroids on my SD card so I can switch it up as often as I want, but the only way to choose the Nandroid you use is with advanced and I don't know which folders you're supposed...

    Root BBeast has me totally confused lately. Can anyone fill me in?

    Alright, when I started using the Beast, it was at 0.7.5, and that's still what I'm at. I've seen that releases 0.7.6-0.7.9 have come out and that makes sense to me. But then all of a sudden, I see BBeast 1.0 and 1.1 come out and now there's apparently 2.1-based ones that are at like 0.4? I'm...

    Any good torrent clients for Android?

    Hey guys, I'm not looking for a program that communicates with my computer or seedbox, I have Torrent-Fu already for that. I'm wondering if there are any decent torrent clients for Android so I can just download a torrent right over my 3G connection. Searching torrent in the Market only gets one...

    I feel so evil and manipulative!

    I try out apps in the Market a lot, and then I think most of them are rather boring or I'll never use it, so I uninstall them. So when the Market asks me why I'm uninstalling this app, I like to report that "It's defective" because I feel like the developers will see it and go "Oh shoot, we...

    So I'm considering doing a factory reset...

    My phone's gotten really slow lately. I'm considering restoring the OS and starting over again because I've been experimenting with stuff I barely need lately. How would I go about doing the absolute freshest install I possibly can? No, I don't want things to re-download or anything. I want to...

    The Milestone in the US?

    So it just dawned on me. The Milestone is a GSM phone, right? Do you guys think it'd be possible for people to import a Milestone and use it on any US GSM network? I don't have extensive knowledge on how the cell networks work but I'm hoping someone here does. I'm considering getting a Milestone...

    The middle thing on the lock screen?

    Hey guys, so you know how the lock screen has the left>right to unlock and right>left to silence the phone? Does that middle "slot" thing ever do ANYTHING or is it just there to make me crazy and wonder what kind of wonderous things it does?
