Android Phone

I have both phones, so I'm going to play with the Streak. Not getting rid of the MT4G.
Might have an EVO3D in hand tomorrow as well. Toyyyyyyyzzzzz.

Nice, Im a big fan of the HTC stuff. Just wish there reception was as strong as Moto phones.

That was amazing!

I am awaiting the Galaxy SII and the Bionic or equivalent Droid soon. Still rocking the crusty Blackberry.

Don't get your hopes up on the bionic. It will run MOTO blur which is a memory hog!

If your looking for a good 4G phone on VZW, I'd recommend the Samsung Charge. I love my HTC Thunderbolt, but my charge has better battery life and an insane screen.

 

[zfields]

Motoblur...cmon man thats why you root!

As for the charge, we had way to many exchanges. All the 4g stuff has issues with battery life as it is.

 

[Orbie]

My thunderbolt battery is pretty bad. But my charge is fine even with my corporate email active. I've seen a lot less exchanges on the charge than the thunderbolt. But also, its about setting the expectations. You can't drive a Corvette and get hybrid gas mileage. That power comes from somewhere.

Which location do you work at?

If you need any help these two sights are good.

Using both. Just got too ambitious writing a hack. Will see what I can do tomorrow.

Thread revive!
So....I had my new Razr for about 6 months and today I dropped it in a parking lot from about 3 feet off the ground and the screen shattered. Phone still makes noise but no visual. In short: phone is done. I really liked that phone too. And I didnt have the insurance....doh!

So I bought an LG Lucid....seems to be ok. Has a super fast processor. I will report back after I put it through some paces.

I have a T-Bolt and the battery life isn't great, but gets much better if you go into the settings and turn off 'Background data'. It's kind of a pain though because the Android Market (now called Google Play) will make you turn it back on to run, and mail and other apps won't sync automatically. It's worth it to me to manually sync stuff and get almost twice the battery life.

How much do you want for the Razr?

Gonna look into fixing it and see how much that would cost.

Have you looked it rooting it? I have the EVO (same phone really) and I put CyanogenMod 7 on it a it doubled my battery life. I have an extended battery and get 17 hours out of it with pretty good usage. Original battery I would get about 8-10 hours good usage.

I haven't rooted it, but I'm tempted to just to get rid of the damn Sense UI.

Sense is a nice look, but that's about it. Putting the CM7 on there made it a different phone all together. The amount of features and functionality along with the customizability is astonishing compared to what you have now. Check out the forums at XDA Developers. The only BAD thing about the rooting is there may be a few bumps along the way (backup everything) and it voids warranty. But well worth it if you are familiar with technology.

i cant stand cyanogen, its too bleh. i tried to like it but ended up with a sense/aosp/aokp blend. my favorite launcher is a toss between apex and nova.

I think you will like the Lucid. Sleek, fast processor, and an LCD. The RAZR is nice but the amoled screen is dominated by blue pixels so white screens have a grey hue. The Lucids LCD will show more true to life colors for skin tones and white is actually white. Enjoy.
