Don't be so harsh on the guy. I sympathize with his pain. Yes this is a development section. However, no one seems to be doing any developing. If they are, they're keeping it a big secret. All the major devs I know that are usually working on this stuff are still very obsessed with the Charge and the soon to be released Bionic. No one seems to want to step up and take DX2 on. I didn't have a choice in getting a DX2. My DX broke and this is what the insurance sent. I thought it was a great thing until I saw that no one is doing anything on it.
Yes, his post probably should go in another area. However, let's try to keep this thing like family. When I came with noob questions, people weren't chastising me. When I fell for the XOOM hype, and didn't know if I should keep it, people here shared their thoughts on the subject. That was one of the reasons I came to love XDA - they didn't judge me, but rather found ways to relate what I was going through. Even in this ROMless DX2 hell that we find ourselves in, I still love my XDA family. Let's try to help the guy and not condescend to him.
Take care and stay blessed
droid x2 oc kernels
Has anyone figured out anything on this pos Droid x2. I'm starting to get irritated this phone blows unless it gets overclocked.
Move it or close it, Mr. Clown.
Yes, I'm well aware this a development forum. I'm not by any means new. I'm rooted, supercharged with V6 and running a few different launchers to make respond quicker but with that being said, its at the end of its rope. By asking for a reason not to; I was implying for some developers to step up to the plate for a device that has potential.

Hey kizzy,
It doesn't blow it just hasn't been nurtured as much. The supercharger script helps a lot and rooted apps work, but it leaves a lot to be desired.

not going to lie, the DX2 wasnt my first choice of phones to get but because the SGS2 isnout available yet it was just the best option, and yea no dev community makes me sad
Yeah the dev community is disappointing. And they're a bit slow on the draw.
I may be looking at the Charge or Bolt before 7/7/11 to stay grandfathered.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Yeah I'm with you buddy. I'm planning on selling this for either the Thunderbolt or Bionic. I don't like the design of the Charge even though it is a great phone. Also depends on if the Bionic will have a locked bootloader. If it does, I'm going with the Thunderbolt. Hopefully Wirefly still sells it for $199 for an upgrade in August
But don't get me wrong, this is a great device. I haven't had any lag or problems, and I actually like the new MotoBlur. If there was more development on this I'd definitely keep it, but I miss flashing CM7 and other roms every night.
Question: If I have unlimited 3g now, will I still be able to get unlimited 4g come August once Verizon implements their tiered plans? I really hope so, or else I'll be using 3g for as long as I'm with Verizon.
Me too
Anyone want mine $200
Swift,
If you have unlimited data now, you're grandfathered in UNLESS or UNTIL you switch phones, plans or upgrade after 7/711. Any changes after that date will force you to take the new tiered pricing.
It may suck. I use every bit of 2gb a month if not more. $50 a month for 5gb make hurt my pocket too much. But that's a topic for another forum.

Actually, the one thing that it does keep doing is rebooting without provocation. It's gotten to be quite annoying. Every phone that I have received from Asurion does it, so I'm beginning to think this is some sort of FroYo/hardware complication. (No I have no evidence to support that theory.) Some of you have mentioned using the new supercharger script. Does it help with this rebooting problem or will I just be putting myself deeper into a hole?

Seriously? That's just plain dumb if you ask me. I don't even understand why Verizon is doing this tiered crap. This is probably why when I first asked for the Thunderbolt, the rep kept on trying to dissuade me from getting it.
This really makes me want to switch to Sprint, or even AT&T once they set up their LTE network. Whatever carrier gets the SGII is where I'm going -.-

fully stock here so far, only had it about a week, but no random reboots.
The only problem was that the first morning I set the alarm the phone was locked up and the alarm didn't go off. I had to pull the battery to get it to reset. Trouble free other than that.
maybe some of you will want to change your mind?

My contract ends on the 2nd and I've been comitted to getting the Droid X. I wasn't aware the Thunderbolt was coming out this month. I'm on a tight budget...should I roll with the X or wait for the bolt? Also...do u have to get a 4g data plan or could you just get a 3g plan on the bolt? I am not stoked on the limited dev options with the X so I'm worried.
Thanks
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
Get the Thunderbolt. Trust me, it will be worth the 2-3 weeks extra wait time. Better hardware, should be good build quality since it's made mostly of aluminum, and what's not to like about faster speeds? As of now there is no information on the pricing options for 4G smartphones.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
That's the thing I don't want to wait and then get the shaft by having to get a 4G plan. I don't need or want it. I need to sell my Eris as well to be able to afford the bolt.
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
I would definitely get the Thunderbolt. I also was looking for a Droid X. My friend got an EVO and I fell in love with the 4.3" screen. Then I started reading about the locked bootloader and very limited dev options for the DX. The Thunderbolt is just going to be an all around better phone, especially if you want custom roms and kernels. I wouldn't imagine the 4G plan adding more than $10 maybe $15 to your bill.
Again, I agree with Omen. If you're looking for a decent phone with many dev capabilities, this phone isn't for you. This phone is better than that; it's top notch. Get a droid incredible instead. It just dropped to $100 with 2 year contract.

No information has been sent out to third party sellers about 4G data costs. I honestly don't think it's coming out February 10, because that's when the iphone for Verizon is out......

I have the X i love the Phone but it does kinda stink that about getting custom Roms, like FULL ones with the new kernals and everything. From what i have been reading on line the 4g plan is going to be 29.99 just like 3g but you know verizon can change that any time lol The thunderbolt looks amazing is it going to have a impossible boot loader like the Motorola products have?
Talked to a VZW rep yesterday about our company phones and I wanted to also move to a new phone for myself. I asked about the TB and said I didn't want to pay extra because I don't live in an 4g area. I was told that there is no extra charge for 4g.

It is highly unlikely that it will have a locked bootloader. It would be a first for HTC to do so as far as I know.

A second considering the G2 and all that mess...
I'd go with the Thunderbolt. HTC uses better camera parts than Motorola, doesn't lock their bootloaders, 4G will be nice and shouldn't cost extra. I've had the Droid X since release and it's not been that amazing. I'm suffering (as are many others) severe reboot issues due to Moto's buggy .340 kernel and since we can't change our kernel... we have to continue to deal with this maddening problem.
I'm no longer a Motorola fan. Not to mention that HTC is usually a bit faster than Motorola on getting out updates for new software... and you'll get a front-facing camera with video chat!
I don't count Samsung phones... broken GPS and horrible software updates, plus a lack of Cyanogenmod... LG phones suck, and Motorola phones are too locked down. So, I see HTC as the only real player in the game today for quality, customizable Android phones. Plus, I like their aspect ratio for their 4.3" screens... not the widescreen size Motorola uses, which is too tall and not wide enough for me.

I'm running the. 340 update and have not had one random reboot since ice update. With liberty applied and a couple of other tweaks its a great phone (DX) but it had very limited dev support because there isn't really **** you can ultimately do with a locked bootloader, it doesn't have near the support of my fascinate, and no where the support of my DInc, but with that said, at the end of the day, I use my Droid x for one reason. Battery life. I suspect the battery life on the thunderbolt wont be as good as the x, but it had great specs a great proccessor and more RAM, IT WILL BE A AWESOME PHONE. IM SO DRUNK I DONT KNOW WHAT IM SAYING! !

I might trade my Thunderbolt for a Droidx2 tomorrow.. any thoughts? I had the first X and I loved it. I traded it for an incredible for the roms.
Can anyone confirm or deny the following:
x2's camera > TB
x2's video/gaming > TB
4g is a plus but not a dealbreaker for me.
my opinion: i like motoblur over sense (if i don't modify, which is a reason i am considering trading)
any input would be great. i know it is late, especially on the east coast but i am hoping for some quick responses. thanks

Up to you man. The TB is definitely more desirable due to custom ROMs. However, this phone is future proof, and based on the recent acquisition, we might be in good shape. P3's preroot is money debloated...

it is, arguably, a hassle due to the 4g. sometimes you will lose 4g and need to flash a new radio/kernel/rom and no one else will experience the same issue.
has an OTA been released with gingerbread yet?
Yes but it's recommended to use p3s prerooted gingerbread, and other than the 4g the X2 stomps the Thunderbolt

yep, i am going to do it.
just put my TB back to stock and it runs so much better haha. the downside of that is the fact i hate sense and it is a total battery hog.
is netflix available for the x2 stock? or does the x2 need to be rooted with a modded netflix app?

After playing around with a Thunderbolt and an X2 i defaulted to the X2, and I must say with all the tweaking I've done it is hands down the best phone I've ever had.
Never owning a TB but having owned the X and now an X2 I like the X2 for its speed but the memory is a little lacking every now and then a game will tell me the memory is low and that it may close unexpectedly. I have always liked the Moto quality for reception and other components and having toyed with a few other HTC phones, locked bootloader and all Moto still gets my bet too.
I came from a Thunderbolt. The lack of roms on the x2 makes me sad considering the large dev support for the tbolt. Honestly, the proformance of a non overclocked cm7 bolt was about the same as the x2 in the real world.

Don't know about the tbolt, but there were so many missed call issues on the fascinate that Samsung sponsored a swap thru vzw for fascinate owners. We got to choose between the x2, the dinc2 or the charge.

I have switched many phones on my Verizon contract and never charged . Why would they charge you , you are still paying for their service .
If flashing custom roms and 4g is important to you, then go for it. The X2 should be getting more dev support soon..hopefully..
Oh and I'm pretty sure the TB's camera is better than the X2's. Consumer Report rated it as the #2 or #4, I can't remember, best cell phone camera. The X was last, and it has the same camera as the X2.

The conventional wisdom is that Verizon allows you to "upgrade" (at the upgrade price) only once every 24 months. While you can trade "upgrades" between various phones on your service contract, you must pay the full retail price of the phone to change phones before being eligible to upgrade.
When I got the X2, I asked if I could trade it for a Samsung Galaxy S2, if that were to be released in the next few months. They said that after 14 days I was stuck with the phone until upgrade time. They said they never resell a used phone, even if returned within the original 14 days. They told me they send them back to Verizon who "refurbishes" them and then they may resell them at a discount online.
So I'm still wondering how you are able to work out these trade deals? Anyone else ever hear of this, other than the Samsung sponsored offer?

Oh. Well yeah, you can do that.
Before trading out for a droid x2 you may want to look into all the audio problems people have reported. I personally have experienced very bad audio skipping while using my x2 and no hacks tips tricks super charges or roms have resolved the problem. I keep my fingers crossed for a solution but if I were you and liked listening to Pandora Slacker or any other audio on my phone I would stay away from the x2 for now

I hope this is ok to post. I came across this promotion where Verizon is willing to let me upgrade early to a 4g phone. I'm asking here cause I've followed this forum for a while and I trust advice from the regular posters here!
I don't think I want to go the Motorola route this time cause of the locked bootloader issue. Im thinking about the rezound, spectrum, or nexus.
The rezound sounds appealing now because of the unlocked bootloader. I would go for a nexus but its more expensive plus I need HDMI. (The rezound is currently $99) I use it daily. The nexus is lacking in accessories big time. So can I get some opinions from my fellow X2 users?

I've been kind of looking at upgrades too. I keep holding off just because the X2 is just beginning to get interesting. At least in my book. That said, I've been looking at the Rezound and Nexus too. They both have their minuses (like all phones) but if I do upgrade, I'm leaning toward the Rezound. One thing about the Rezound though, if you want to use HDMI, you have to buy an adapter for it. It doesn't have a dedicated port for it. Rather, it uses the USB port and for that to work, you have to buy the adapter. One more thing you need to buy but for me, it's not that big of a deal.
Spend some time reading in the forums here for the phones you are interested in and you'll get an idea of what's best for you. If you see a thread in the Rezound or Nexus forum titled something like, Rezound or Nexus, which one?, ignore them. Well, don't ignore them but remember if you're in a Rezound forum and ask that question, there's not much doubt about the way they are going to push you. Same goes for the same question in the Nexus forum. Anyway, spend some time in those forums and you'll get more of a feel for which phone is right for you.
Like I said, I've settled on the Rezound myself. However, I'm holding off to see what comes next for the X2. At least for a bit.
Whatever the case, my next phone won't be a Motorola. It's a shame too. Love their hardware. I don't think they take second to anybody else in the department but I'm kind of tired of being locked out of full usage of a phone that I bought and paid for. Just my two cents worth.

I mean it definitely could for sure, but I think that decision goes a lot further then just one person. But again if the person who runs the place wants it done it would be done

Well, ash, I did say it wasn't a deal breaker. Anyway, I guess I'd just prefer an sd card if I can have one. I wouldn't rule out the Nexus just because of that. Just from what I read so far, the Rezound seems to be the way I want to lean right now.

I thought I'd miss the SD card myself. Now that there are all of these cloud services with huge free GB allotments, I can't imagine needing more than 32 gigs on my nexus. When I mod my wife's DX2, I'm frustrated to have everything separated.
I'd say between the nexus and Rezound, you can't make a wrong choice. They're both top phones. The only thing the nexus has in my book is development support. This is the og droid all over again. This thing will be around for a loooooong time.

lol
was just screwing wit ya...in actuality, id prolly fill that 32gb up quick lol
from what I've heard the rezound is solid, plus you'll be getting ics apparently by summer officially...I was highly considering the rezound also....but a certain dev getting nexus makes me.lean that way more
Well, I'm not really sure yet either. I feel like jumping to another but like I said before, things are just getting interesting here. Besides, I think of all the extras I have and it all works great together and, well, I don't know. If I do jump it'll probably be the Rezound for me though. I'll sit on it for a bit. I'm a bowhunter. I have lots of patience.

I'm excited that I get to play with my Nexus but also stick around the DX2 scene. DZK is doing some great stuff around here.

I saw a docking station for the nexus today and it was 90 dollars and didn't have an HDMI port. I guess you have to use an adapter for the USB is what someone mentioned?

Is this early upgrade deal just for you or a verizon thing. I'm guessing just for you lol since verizon hates me.
Head's-Up on another petition (Stop Verizon from killing unlimited data plans for existing subscribers). I really hope this one pan's out better then the boot loader petition.

Guys, it doesn't matter how many signatures this gets. They are making less money than they used to off of unlimited data contracts. This is going to happen.
@theredvendetta is right. I would love to think these petitions would do wonders for us, but our track record with them isn't what I call spectacular. The best way to deal with this is hit them where it hurts the most-their wallet.
If you are not voting with your feet and won't move to a different carrier, then you have no hope and Verizon knows it, so you are wasting your time. Verizon gets thousands of complaints every day about cost, signal, speed, plans customer services. I don't see Verizon improving any of that, its only gets worse, more expensive, etc. So save your signatures and use your wallet to vote Verizon out.
Just don't upgrade, to a 4G phone. Once you upgrade to 4G,then unlimited data plans are gone!

Not totally true. I was told if a moved to the Nexus sometime this week, Ill keep unlimited until the big plug is pulled.
You think they'll just suddenly get rid of unlimited for 3g customers wanting to upgrade to 4g?
I've been watching all the major android news sites to hear of any news on the subject from Verizon.
I want to go from my X2 to a SGIII but would rather not preorder. No guarantees.
In order to circumvent all of this, I want to do the following:
I may get a Nexus through Costco soon to lock into 4g unlimited. Then, once the SIII comes out at the same time the new shared data plans will like debut, I'd use Costco's 90-day warranty to return the Nexus and get a SIII with the intent to keep unlimited 4g.
In anyone's user experience, do you have to sign a new contract when upgrading your device? Can I just keep the Nexus plan?
Sooo I pretty much wrote this to see if you guys see any flaws in my master plan.
Almost 2000 more Signatures since my orignal post not to shabby. We need to get the word out. I known some people think this won't make a diffierance and maybe they're right. Showing are dissatisfaction will at least slow these greedy icehole's down.
My thought's on this is you want to renege on your grandfather promise raise data price's fine but don't force me to pay for it. How many people are using wi-fi because there 3g,4g is to slow or hardly working and paying a premium price for a service they don't use. Give your customers a choice. I do not have problem saving a dollar a day and using wi-fi.
But That's Just My Opinion. I Could Be Wrong..

Petitions only help for local government issues. Not multimillion dollar communications company the sooner people realize this the better. Money makes them run a petition doesn't stop their money flow so it won't work.

How does it make it better?
So they use there energy in more productive ways. It's all good though everyone can do what they feel is right. But what would get Verizon's attention would be 3k people not renewing their contacts. With the reason being the death of unlimited data. Not 3k signatures from people who are still going to begrudgingly pay them.

Verizon can change anything they want, anytime they want to. Look at your service agreement, everything is subject to change.

True statement - they don't seem like they aim to change that right now. I'd go to them as I've heard they're rates aren't bad. Is it true that they don't actually have 4G towers?

I'm leaving the Photon for the GS3. While the time with this phone wass awesome. I have never really enjoyed it. Never did a phone need so much tweaking to it's software. Hardware is where this phone really shined. I doubt my Samsung will have the signal strength but some sacrifices must be made. To keep it short I want to say that it was fun being a part of this community. Thanks and I will see you guys around.

What tweaking does it need??
It's so tiring when people make general comments like this (about any phone) without providing any facts or examples. Might as well just not say anything.
The grass is always greener .....
At least it's tweaking able. I had Galaxy Nexus one month, it was nice phone, with nice ICS, nice notification led and vibrations, probably a little faster, but very bad loudspeaker comparing to our phone, the display was somehow... different, bluetooth sound was delayed. Every rom or kernel or radio, including official, caused at least one automatic reboot per day or two. So I decided, it's not worth the price and returned to Photon. Photon is not perfect, but better than GN for me. Maybe GS3 will be better for you, don't know much about it.
I hate the Samsung illusion / galaxy proclaim. anyone wanna buy it on straight talk with a 45 unlimited card?

Can you all move Samsung talk to a Samsung thread? In this case, sounds like this needs to move to a "For Sale" thread.
Reported.
honestly, unless your a pillar to the photon community just leave quietly and enjoy your new phone.
