Hey everybody, im new to this forum i watched the video and its awesome great job
anyway im going to get a razr anytime now, its going to be my first android device(switching from iOS). my question is kinda in the title will i be able to get the plain, stock ICS without Motos skin over it? im thinking about a custom ROM or something(ive got no experience whatsoever regarding this topic) because Moto probably wont provide something like this. Plus i want the 2 apps smart actions and motocast. Will this be possible? i know that probably no one knows this as ICS is not released yet but maybe its been done before on previous versions and with other manufacturers skins?
Sorry if this is the wrong section but i thought id would be better to specify on a device section not the general q&a....
cheers

First, WELCOME TO THE LIGHT SIDE!
ROMs are amazing beasts, my friend. I feel that the official MOTO version of ICS will not be Vanilla, but there absolutely will be Vanilla ROMs available after (maybe before) it's release.
In my experience, with enough tweaking, you won't need to root (unless you plan on using root only apps). I haven't, and won't root this bad @ss mamajama after covering up Blur with Launcher Pro, and setting up my icon packs, widgets and whatnot.
Really it all depends on what you want to do/use. There will be many (maybe too many) options coming soon. Just a tip (from a recovering flashaholic), if you DO root, and flash a port ROM, be prepared for things not to work properly at first (if at all).
I don't think a vanilla ROM with Motorola apps will be available, but really, anything is possible, and if what you want isn't available, you can cook it up yourself!
Gotta love Android!
Edit: Almost forgot! If you DO switch, order your phone through Amazon (by the 28th)! They're selling it for $0. 01! I did, and got mine the next day at no extra charge.

Yes, to answer your question. I also got mine for a penny. It's actually AmazonWireless. Go to Amazon and go to the bottom of the page for their link.

It's for new accounts and new lines only, though, just FYI. The only condition is that you stay current on your bill for 6 months. Even if you don't, they charge $250, which is less than retail (with a 2 yr agreement).

Eh. I don't really think it's worth it. Thanks anyways, guys!
hey thanks for the info, i guess ill just have to wait until motorola releases ics on the razr.
anyway thanks for pointing me at the amazon offer but ill be getting it without a contract so i dont think the amazon offer works

If you're going to be using this phone on a Verizon contract, it is most certainly worth it. $0.01 is far better than $299; you'll have an ETF no matter what if you cancel early. With Amazon, it's an additional $250 ETF if you cancel within the first six months. If you don't, there's no extra charge.
dont make you purchase on if you will be able to put stock ics on it, even with custom rom. Buy it for what it is. No one knows and no one will until it is out.
Pretty sure it's been confirmed a billion times that RAZR will get ICS... xD
yes i know its confirmed, but from motorolas side, meaning all with motoblur and all that stuff, just asking if there will be an unofficial version without motoblur. but well have to wait and see.
who have ordered in tmo store online and received their unit box sealed like tmo local store unit? the first time i ordered online i receive my device in a box that is not sealed. they just place 2 tmobile sticker to hold the box cover. when i open my unit there was a dent and scratch on the back so be aware. make sure when you receive a unit when ordered online, the unit must be sealed otherwise the unit you will be getting is a returned from someone nor refurbished.
just sharing..
PLEASE RETURN YOUR PHONE... do not accept a phone if is not sealed. thats an used one for sure ....contact tmobile and tell them they sent you a used phone when you paid for a new one ...
the box is supposed to be covered in transparent plastic...

that is what i did. i cannot accept a device that has a minor issue! not with the $579 device! if some user here are sticking with some minor issue then it is not me, i always go for the way they advertise the phone. no dead/stuck pixel and a gap. the phone is advertise as zero gap device. but when htc will perfect this design just like the way they advertise it? this phone is one of the best built quality phone at the moment..

The key word you used was "probably". Some people don't use a case. Some people want their phone to look as nice as possible. You are supposed to get what you pay for.... and this is not a cheap device.

every one of us has our own preference about build quality. me i want it just like the way they advertise the device. money doesn't grow on trees.
it doesn't matter if you use case it will not make the gap disappear, it will be there and you know it. and if you're ok with a minor defective device well that's fine with me, that is your device not mine. i just want my earned money to be worth spending on the device.

Can you guys show me where the advertise it with no gaps? I don't think I ever saw the exact words "no gaps" being advertised.
What about the operating system what about sense? Sometimes when you exit something it's not as smooth as other transactions. Why aren't you guys complaning about that?
Are the gaps really really that bad ?

Its advertised as "zero gap" construction but I agree that people are too anal about it. People sending back all these devices are going to make it very difficult for carriers to replace them if it keeps up.

operating system can be fix by updates.. it is actually zero gaps because it is a unibody device.. everything need to be flawless. people care because they want their money to be worth on spending.what if that gaps will get worse its getting older? what are you gonna do? send it to htc to get it fix? if you are ok with you device with minor issue then that is fine.sharing this to anyone who care not to anyone doesn't care.
Mine wasn't sealed. Just had two stickers holding it shut. The bag it came in was sealed though. It had the sticky cover over the phone and nothing was missing and the phone was in perfect condition.

Ummm... Pretty sure most carriers ship in open boxes - how else do you think they get the required SIM card in there? All phones I've ever gotten from T-Mobile, going all the way back to the Sidekick II, were just sealed with a sticker.
Same thing with at&t
Same with Sprint
Same with Verizon
And Sprint didn't even use SIM cards back then.
You guys are just looking to complain.

Please search on the Internet how carriers put their SIM cards inside the box and you will see how it works ... And today a tmobile representative confirmed all new htc one comes with the box covered in plastic , if is not covered, the phone is reburbished... I wish i had the conversation saved. So i could show it to you

Alert! Note 3 NFC is on the Battery, make sure you use authentic OEM replacements, else you'll lose the NFC functionality.
We'll will you look at that. Right at the top of the label it says it. I had not noticed before that the cover didn't
Have it on the back. Good to know.
yeah, same here
I didn't noticed it until after I ordered extra spare batteries.
Good thing is I ordered the real stuff, not the aftermarket made in china ones, that Does NOT have the NFC
how about hyperion 6400 mah sold on amazon and ebay? this battery have nfc built-in?

not a fan of those THICK batteries, i like how the phone is thin and light weight.
the Thick batteries are great for those that wants long run time and /or doesn't mind the weight + thickness.
i rather carry spare batteries with me, and swap it when it runs out, mainly to keep compatibility with all the leather cases, belt clips, covers, etc...

I always get them from ebay, make sure you choose reputable sellers, the ones from Korea are the most Trusted.
look for authentic, genuine, and look for the packaging and labels, check the amount of sold, time and price.
if you see something that says OEM but only cost you $5.99 ... obviously fake when the phone is this new. you only see those prices after 2 or 3 years after the phone is released.

It's not only used for payments.. as a matter of fact, I'd say the payment portion of the nfc ability is used the least. It's used to automate things such as pairing devices and trigger events.

That's surprising. I'm used to the S3 and S4 which had the NFC built in to the battery and I would have assumed Samsung would use the same method with all of their devices. So when I read this title, I'm like "duh", but now I understand why the OP made this topic.

And after looking at the OP's sig, That reminds me that the Note 1 had NFC on the back cover too. So I think that's what surprised him/her. I didn't use NFC at the time when I had the Note 1 and 2 but now I do. But if you don't mind alittle modding, I believe the "top" set of gold prongs are for external based NFC antennas.

Nfc chip is in the battery on the galaxy nexus just so you know.
my wife and I bump photos via NFC all the time. i use an NFC tag to set my phone for car use. every once in a while i see and NFC poster. NFC would replace QR codes so no need to open the bar code scan app. sadly, because apple refuses to adopt NFC, the industry that serves the idevices won't utilize it more. but apple will develop similar if not copied tech, make it proprietary, charge too much, and it will be revolutionary.

I honestly haven't the foggiest what it's meant for either... I'm fairly sure I've never used it.
All I know is that it trips the hell out of my public transport card if I turn it on.
Various 3rd party batteries also have NFCs built-in.
No need to be a shill for OEM products.

Camera is decent. Little dull and blurry on details otherwise good. Audio is great. Many roms but it still ain't Galaxy SIII.
Will run all the apps and games you want but I suggest since you in China just a Xiaomi MI3 or such..:good:
They like things of other countries there. It makes them feel cool.
If you can get an E970 for a good price, do it.
It's not the best phone you'll ever use, but it REALLY surprised me with how much I like it.
In agreeance with NHS2002 and OMGMatrix.
optimusv45 sounds like he has a lil contempt for the Chinese, just got in a wreck with a Mitsubishi, is a comedian, bored, or all of the above. I post **** like that cuz I like bein the center of attention and the "funny guy"
Id be stoked to be fired back at with a reply of " no ****, I am like you, Im a funny guy!" from 45. seein as how we all bleed the same shade of RED..
Personaly satisfied with everything about this phone except its ridgidity. Do not drop it on any of its corners from any height , lol, seriously! Could also be a little thicker , but you can remedy that with the right case for it.
But if you want a phone that bounces back from 10000 flashes like a Boss, good choice. JTAG will fix what u cant. Performance is good with the right ROM Kernel combo, would love to see more ROMS n Kernels for it. But cant cry about that cuz Ive only now played around with porting and Nexus alternatives.
Want a Rom and your able to figure it out or be all ears when someone like our devs here get on IRC with you.... Get on with your badself. that would be a win win for G Devness all together. Ive been able to be pretty fearless with this phone as long as I don't drop it.
I dropped it tons of times.... not a scratch. All thanks to the el cheapo TPU case I ordered from China. Its amazing phone but camera and display by a bit leave me wanting... Also miss the FM and OTG from Galaxy S3

Overall it's a great phone. When I got it, it was turning heads: "What phone is that? It looks beautiful." The camera is not as good as some, but I rarely use that.
I'm very pleased that I got an LG phone. I will definitely buy another LG phone next time I need one -- even if it's a Google Nexus branded (Nexus 4, Nexus 5, maybe Nexus 6 )

English, Forgiven. Forgiveness pending on right answer, Why would u choose this over the MI2, isn't it almost twice the performer?
With the halt of production and carriers stopping to carry does this mean the resale value is up since you just wont be able to buy it anywhere? Will carriers still honor any recalls at any given time does this mean you can keep it for half a year and return it no questions asked since it is heading into a world wide recall ? A buyer basically has nothing to lose.. it is technically the best smartphone out and no screen display and camera is like it meaning people will always want it..
Problem is, why would anyone want to buy a ticking time bomb.
Our current device may work fine now but there's no telling when it will spontaneously combust.
It seems like Samsung is struggling to figure out what exactly is causing the Note 7 to blow up. And now they're lost for words.

There is also a distinct possibility that if they scratch the device completely they could disable all the ones still in use remotely.
They already crippled some of the V1 ones with a 60% battery charge cap and a big annoying warning that pops up every 3 hours who knows what might happen next?
Resale will be complete crap on these devcies...they note 7 has already been marked by one recall...another one? Forget it.
There would be a niche market for die hard sammy fans who likely would pay a premium for a device that your not supposed to have but that would be a very tiny amount of people

There is also a distinct possibility that if they scratch the device completely they could disable all the ones still in use remotely.
They already crippled some of the V1 ones with a 60% battery charge cap and a big annoying warning that pops up every 3 hours who knows what might happen next?
Resale will be complete crap on these devcies...they note 7 has already been marked by one recall...another one? Forget it.
There would be a niche market for die hard sammy fans who likely would pay a premium for a device that your not supposed to have but that would be a very tiny amount of people

I'd never go Apple, purely because the lack of control over the system would really annoy me.
I'm returning my Note 7 tomorrow to grab a full refund. Will try Oneplus 3 for awhile.

Only thing is it won't come until late November...
What are your plans ? Im pretty set with a jailbroken iPhone 7 plus .. its as close as you can get to a note 7
an email i received straight from samsung stated that it's actually illegal to re-distribute this phone.. So... No, a huge strikeout.
They referenced to the Canada firearms act or something like that.
I will never go Apple either. Their iOS is far too restrictive. An Android is like carrying a laptop around with you. In fact, I haven't used a Windows laptop or PC for a long time now.
The annoying thing now is, even if I kept the Note 7, I don't expect Samsung to release anymore updates. Hell, if anything, they will cripple it again, with the whole 60% charge nonsense. And at this stage, Nougat is almost definitely out of the question.
Unless Samsung finds a way to integrate the Note 7 features with the S7 Edge, I'd reconsider.

No one will be buying the phone even if you give them for free. Who will want a phone that might explode. I am waiting to see what Telus does right now. Hopefully they will allow us to change to any model. But my bet is they will only let you change to a S7 Edge or S7. If they allow then i might go for iPhone for now. Can't really decide what to get.

Lol personally wasn't feeling the phone when I played with it. Maybe the one iplayed with was bad but it had this annoying rocking motion that was driving me crazy. Press down the home button... The phone will rock. Store user said I just have to touch it... That didn't work. If all iPhone 7 are like that will never buy that phone... That rocking motion was driving me crazy

This is Mutiny....MUTINY!!!
Apple is probably giving a promotion and a bonus to the agent they had at Samsung that was in charge of this sabotage operation.
