Hello everyone!
I'd like to switch between the Moto X and my lovely Dell Streak. Is this possible?
Thoughts/concerns:
1)nano sim,adapter,micro sim
2)4G LTE vs 3G
3)rooted DS vs out of the box Moto X
4) "provisioning" or talking with AT&T everytime I want to swap devices
As everyone here knows, DS5 is THE perfect size screen for so many things! But, the motoX is a tad more comfy in the pockets. And you can talk to it. How snifty is that?!
I love these forums! Thank you so much.

Hi guys
Can you help me with this question?
I love android and android system.
I have try one HTC g1 one Motorola milestone and finally i work fine with my galaxy.
But in some case i want a screen bigger than the 4 inch of galaxy.
My question is very simple... I don't want one tablet but i want just a smartphone with 5 '' inche and the dell is perfect for me!
But i have read some bad opinion... Can you suggest me if is a good idea change my galaxy s for one dell streak? If the new software version, also some Rom not official, increase the experience may be that i can change my smartphone but actually my galaxy s with a unofficial Rom fly and work fine.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I think most of the bad opinions about the streak have come from people who bought it locked to ATT. They didn't get the 2.2 froyo update right away.
If you buy it unlocked from Dell, you pay a higher price, but you get better support.
I came from a Samsung Galaxy S phone called the Captivate.
Hands down the galaxy S line is dog****.
With 2.2 froyo on Dell streak, there is no lag, working gps and it works as expected flawlessly all the time.
there really is no decision to make.. this will hold me off until the next version of the streak comes out...
Thanks guys
I think that the normal Italian.version is free and not locked... And with your post I thing that if will found a good product... I will change my galaxy.. And i will use a smartphone bigger but always portable!
What is your comments about camera? Work fine?

I recently bought my wife a Galaxy S, so got to play with it a bit. Really like the Super Amoled Screen, a real improvement from Amoled (my previous Samsung Omnia HD).
However, I still prefer and LOVE my Streak, the 4 inch screen looks ways smaller compare to the 5 inch. I love the big screen because I watch a lot of movies on it. By saying that, I did also buy myself a Captivate as my back up phone
If you want a good screen phone but scared of the big screen, why not wait for the Galaxy S2 which has the 4.3 inch screen. But personally 4.3 would still be too small for me.
Streak is a good size not too big at all, easily fit in loose pockets
dear dmax99
your opinion is exactly the same for me: i think that 5'' can be the good size for.a.people.that want work fine with the smartphone and not use the tablet.
i don't know why all the factory produce only 4.3'' as maximum dimension of the screen.
this is the real situation... for example now i can choose.. or buy in April maybe the new galaxy s 2 but with only 4.3'' or try to find one streak but at this moment the streak is not dual core and without tegra... do you know if exist a new.device with this new hardware but with 5'' of display?

Hey guys.
Im on t-mobile right now and i really want a qwerty keyboard android. I want to be up to date, but speed isnt EVERYTHING for me. Please help. Im using a MT4G right now and i really want a physical keyboard. Any suggestions or upcoming phones??
Thanks in advance
Remember! Im only 13. Gimme a break!
There is a bunch of QWERTY keyboards available for T-Mobile. But the most recent ones are the Samsung Gravity Smart, myTouch 4g Slide, the Side-Kick 4g, almost all the Blackberries, and the Motorola CLIQ 2. My personal favorite is the myTouch 4G Slide.
Old School...but a few survivors!
I am missing my QWERTY keyboard ;-( Had a Droid 3 for awhile, now have the bionic. My fingers are just too fat I think for this screen typing stuff ;-)
How about the ones like the Blackberry keyboard and Android touch screen ?
I see Samsung Replenish has it but it's CDMA
I wanna stick with android. I guess a QWERTY is a MUUST. So are there any upcoming AMAZING phones for T-Mo?
Remember! Im only 13. Gimme a break!
Okay, since you're 13, I'm guessing a cost effective phone is best for you and your parents. The sidekick 4G is only $30 (I think) at WalMart and $80 on the online t-mo store ON CONTRACT. It has decent (1GHZ 512MB RAM and a 3.5 inch screen) specs and has the best keyboard I've ever seen on an Android phone (it's 5 rows with a dedicated number row)
And if you're really into android, we have a couple of ROMS available if you root.
The Mytouch q and the LG Doubleplay are coming out later, but they both have qwertys and are pretty good.
Or you can go with the beastly MT4G Slide, but it's $200 on contract.
Are you on contract, or are just looking to pay full price for a phone?
IMO Moto Droid 3 (Milestone 3) is the best option currently available
(dual core, qHD, 8Mpix, 1080p video, front cam)
I've long wished for a QWERTY flagship from HTC, Moto or Sony,
but they seem to have forgotten that market (at least their high-end flagship phones)
I'll have to get my finger used to screen typing or otherwise settle with their mid-range not-so-bleeding-edge QWERTY phones offer
I need Help!!!!! LG LW 690 AKA Optimus C
Hey guys not sure where to post this, there are no forums for my phone. Seems no one really has any info on my phone. I hope somone can help me. I have an LG LW 690, AKA, Optimus C through Cricket. I know my first mistake is having Cricket as my carrier, but $60.00 a month for unlimited talk, text and data and insurance cant be beat. I rooted this Android with Gingerbreak V1.20 worked like a charm. No problems what so ever. After a week or so, I tried flashing ROM with Rom Manager, I was unaware of the consequences that were to follow. After Flashing it said something like "flash completed successfully," upon rebootit froze. and is now "BRICKED."
It does not shut off unless battery is removed, it will not boot past lg icon.
I heard that if I removed the back that on the motherboard there are two terminals that I can attach capactitors to and it will force jump start the Android. Does anyone know about this. I have nothing to lose doing this, because right now, I have a $220.00 piece of metal, I cant use. Any help would be appreciated. Email me [email protected]

Which recovery does your phone have? If you can enter download mode, you can flash a different ROM (firmware) using a program for your PC. I imagine you flashed the wrong ROM, maybe one for a different device. Your phone does NOT sound bricked though.
The mytouch 4g slide is good choice if its within ur parents budget. One of the best keyboards ive used was on the touch pro2 especially with its titling screen. Its a window mobile cell. U can run andorid on it but that maybe too much of a hassle for u.
On a side note... I wonder why htc never made a android cell with the touch pro 2 design...
I think Sony Ericsson was going to release one. I think it was called the Xperia Pro. The specs werent really splashing, but it was decent.

Hi all,
A question all to you!
I sell cellphones as a part time job (Fry's..meh) and when I was setting up a customers phone (Droid 3 actually) I was amazed at how fluid and nice the new UI looked. I compared it to my Atrix's motoblur/skin which obviously has its differences.
I was wondering if there was a way to get the "new" motoblur/motoskin that currently exists on Motorola devices such as the Atrix 2, Bionic, Razr, Droid 3 etc.
My Atrix is rooted and unlocked.
Any answers are welcomed.
That would require a full port of the new Motoblur framework wouldn't it? Is that even possible?
Hi
I currently have an HTC Droid Incredible 2, rooted and running CM 9. Its a good phone and has served me well, but its time for something new.
With all the hype and hyperbole out there, its hard to know what to buy next. I was hoping the members here would have some suggestions.
A few details:
- I'm on Verizon
- I travel internationally often, so need something with GSM as well. (Current phone works great for that.)
- Prefer the 4.3" screen to 4.7" . Fits in jeans better.
- Want to root the phone ASAP as I hate all the carrier bloatware. So, what phone is super compatible with CM10 or other JB
Since phones are expensive, I'm looking for something that will be "forward compatible" for a while.
Thoughts? What would YOU buy?
Thank You!!
Hello everybody, roght now I have the possibility to get the Atrix 4G + Lapdock for like 300 USD and I was wondering if you guys who posses this phone recommend me to get it? Currently I have the Xperia Mini Pro, but somehow the touch screen stoped working :s So, if you do recommend the atrix + Lapdock, could you answer me some questions?
1.- Whats the last official Android version this phone has?
2.- Is it hard to unlock the bootloader? (I would get the At&t version, btw)
3.- IS the screen quality good?
4.- Is there any JB (4.1, 4.2) ROMs wich work with the lapdock, the finger scanner and the camera (Photo + video) out there?
Thanks a lot, I really appreciate your help !
The screen is nice..
Search for the others. answers are everywhere.

1. Gingerbread 2.3.6
2. not really.
3. Its okay compared but there are better displays.
4. No.
these question are very simple so search next time to keep the forum clean.
IMO that's a ripoff. I got mine for 150 with a lapdock 6 months ago. For 300 you could do much better.

Oh, really? Where? (If it's possible to tell me) I could also get the LG Optimus G for like $400, but unfortunately it's CDMA and it's locked, so I wouldn't be able to use it with my carrier (Telcel),

I recommend Samsung galaxy note or s2. I am very happy with my note on 4.2.2 jellybeer
And for future reference xda has a search feature and sections for questions
4.2.2 Jellybeer? I want that upgrade!

Never buy this phone, it will never run a clean JB rom. The lapdock isn't worth it.
For 300$ you can get a Galaxy S2 or Galaxy nexus. At 350$ you can have a Xperia S.

Why would you pay $300 for a 2 year old phone? Lapdock included it still isn't worth it. Buy a Nexus 4 or something, it's also $300 and 3 months old. The Atrix 4G was a great phone though, just a little outdated now..

Perhaps when/if the new kernel gets finished there will be a port to atrix someday
Please don't get this phone.
To be frank, buying the Atrix is something i regret in hindsight. I bought the phone in September when Motorola had still not changed its mind regarding releasing an ICS update. I bought mine for $220 without lapdock but with the promise that the phone would get an update and with that came the assurance that the community support would motor along nicely for another 2-3 version of the Android at the very least (considering the Atrix's powerful hardware).
Also, do not look the Atrix's way if you are into watching videos on your phone a lot. As already mentioned, the Atrix's screen quality absolutely sucks. I love all the other bits about my Atrix though and won't be selling it off anytime soon.

So to recap: you love almost everything about your Atrix and won't be selling it anytime soon, but you regret ever buying it.
Huh? Makes no sense to me.

I get the confusion you are talking about.
I love the rock solid build of the Atrix, love the SQ on the phone, the high PPI which makes reading and browsing an absolute pleasure, the high brightness level of the display that is quite useful when outdoors in the sun, the battery life that gets me well through the day in spite of my phone being bundled with the BH5X unit rated at 1540 mAH, it's 16 GB inbuilt storage in addition to support for memory cards, and some real powerful hardware.
My regret is based on a couple of things only, the unsatisfactory screen unit and Moto's ditching of the phone. More so since i could have got a phone with better display and official support for the price i paid.
So in that sense, i do not want to sell it anytime soon but i am not confident if i can hold out with the Atrix in the long run.
Sorry if it still doesn't make sense to you .
Thank you all, I won't get the Atrix, maybe I get the Optimus G
