The backup app juan just shared with me.

[Cez★]

if anyhing. you shouldve gotten the notification on top. or use file explorer to find out where you put it.

i think astro manager is free

[.GARY.]

Ahh, phone blocked install because it wasnt from the market :fp:

---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 PM ----------

Got it, changed user settings to allow it, now installing :happy:

[Cez★]

o. go to apps or something and choose to install "hot" apps

[.GARY.]

:word:

[Cez★]

:kittahfistbump:

[stonehenge]

you should have a Files app on le DX. Go to the sdcard and it should be in the "download" folder

edit: lulz auto update fail, glad you got it

[.GARY.]

Ok, another technicality, seems my contacts are messed up, I seem to have quite a few double contacts and I'm not really sure why :think:

[stonehenge]

:chin: did you tell facebook or twitter or something to sync contacts? If so, that could be why.

[.GARY.]

It seems like it would be something like that. I have one name w/ the phone number then the name again w/ email and other info and picture. Its only certain people though. Its the little stuff like this that can be so frustrating.

[billnewl]

:okay: I needz new fone

[.GARY.]

Ok, stupid question, the Dx doesnt have the buttons in the status bar like fascinate had w/ wifi and what not, any way to get that on the Dx?

[billnewl]

Toggles in the taskbar? Flash MIUI :read:

[race2c]

Bill - Gary doesn't want to root/rom.

[.GARY.]

This having to rejoin my contacts is for the birds :blah:

[stonehenge]

Gary go to google.com/contacts and see if they are double there. If not, then it is almost definitely facebook or something.

As for the toggles in the notification bar, the closest you will probably get without using an app that requires a shitload of setup is "Quick Settings". It's free in the market. Adds a shortcut to your notification bar and when you tap it, it opens a list of quick setting like wifi, bluetooth, etc.

[.GARY.]

Shiiiiiiiizle, they are doubled up in google :fp:

I'll look into that app also.

Muchas gracias :fistbump:

[stonehenge]

well that is good and bad, at least now you can edit them via the google page, will be hella faster than doing it on the phone :imo

was looking at my contacts, no haz Gury :nonocrossarms:

"The Samsung Galaxy Nexus will not be released for Verizon Wireless until the end of the month, at earliest. According to the Telegraph, the UK launch (November 10th) will precede the US release by “one week”. In a perfect world, November 17th would be the big day.

Y U NO LISTEN TO WHAT PEOPLE WANT?!?!?!?

[stonehenge]

cuz what people want includes a phone that gets more updates and therefore keeps people happy longer (buy less phones) and what people want isn't loaded with VZW bloat that they can make a couple bucks off of

[chevyrado14]

does anyone know about a loyalty discount for vzw? Ive seen it mentioned in the GN thread on androidforums but not much info about it. My account only shows the discount through my wifes work.

[stonehenge]

there is a loyalty plan and a loyalty discount

my wife could have upgraded a few months ago @ 2yr price but i think she gets an extra 30-50 off since she waited the full 24 months. AFAIK that is the loyalty discount.

The loyalty plan is like $50 for 550 minutes. Then you can add lines for 9.99 and data for 30, texts for 5-10 or whatever, etc. It actually ended up being cheaper for us than the family plans since we don't use many minutes or non-vzw texts.

Ditch the ***** and run with what they are giving you :imo

I'm all ready satisfied w/ giving up the sammy for the Dx, seems so much smoother. Do miss the AMOLED screen though but I will sacrifice that for a functional phone.

[stonehenge]

Every 4G phone available right now has some sort of signal issues. Some (TB) seem to be worse than others but they all have issues of some sort. The Bionic itself should be pretty damned stable though.

Plus, if there's no 4G there and you keep it in 3G, you may reduce the shitty signal issues. Dunno though. My brother has a Bionic and I don't think he's had many problems.

Say what? :think: Using stock CM-wrapped ADW like always. Just prefer that layout with access (see app drawer icon at bottom) since the app drawer moves at like 7fps.

2. 7fps? WTF mine is smooth as sekz on ADW.

[SarkOzy]

Oh rofl. Those are only the left and right homescreens. I like that layout better than using the app drawer all the time. I don't know if the ADW from the market is better, but the one included with CM-based roms sucks when you open the app drawer.

[stonehenge]

if i turn on transparent background in the drawer or make the grid too high or anything it gets a little choppy but solid color background with normal grid size is smooth. I have it set to horizontal pages right now, which is also sex smooth.

I can almost guarantee that they are going to wipe the data and do a factory reset so you get to redo all your stuff again :fp: the one good thing is your contacts should already be fixed since you did it on Google.

I can tell you how to factory reset if you want to try it first. If it doesn't work, it will save you time when you get to the store.

then you better take gas can, matches, and chainsaw :uhoh:


to do a factory reset, turn the phone off (pull batt if you need to), then hold the home button while you turn the phone on. You should get a /!\ screen, now you can let go of Home. Press vol up and down at the same time to get a menu. Use the volume keys to navigate to "wipe data/factory reset" and press the power button to select it.

I don't even think VZW fixes refurbs unless they are visually messed up. They probably swap out the screen/case and put a new sd card in it and send it back out into the world with the original problem still inside. Fgts.

Verizon Wireless stores in Florida and Georgia are under attack today as part of an apparent conspiracy to "Rage Against The VZW". The violence began when customers were angry with faulty replacement phones and unstable 4G signal strength. The two suspects, as well as several others, conspired together using an online forum before committing the acts against the retail locations. This article will be updated as we learn new information.

rip them new anos. you had two phones that were buggy as shit, then they gave you two refurbs that have new issues (be sure to mention that those issues aren't normal, you "know" plenty of people with DXs that don't have these problems). Maybe can get new phones of some sort. Like DX2s or something. They aren't 4G so you might have a chance at those with enough complaining.

No luck either.

Thats why I have BB9630 always on the backup. Just in case something happens with my D1, DX, etc. The workhorse of the BB may not be able to do all the new fancy stuff, but itll work.

they might sbf your phone at verizon which could fix the issue but i don't know if those ratards know how to do that

Tired of effing around with these phones. I dont have the time for this crap :thumbsdown:

If there was a decent Windows phone out, I'd be looking at those :imo WP7 is damn nice to use, it's just lacking good hardware from what I've seen.

Exactly why I didn't renew my contract and went prepaid. Billing still works the same and it's a bit cheaper. You're on your own for the phone though. With eBay it's not a huge deal though.

Could go prepaid but with 2 phones too much to hassle with, just going to stick with what I have I guess. I wish they had not bought out Alltel because it made them each more competitive with their pricing.

I like it. It's different, and functional as heck.

would :eatAtY: for free upgrade :sneaky:

gary, next refurb better be win :crossarms:

prepaid is okay if you are fine with old phones. DNW to pay retail or even used for a recent phone. $500+ FTS.

[.GARY.]

:word: I had an option to upgrade VERY early w/ Fascinato problems, issue was dropping $400- a phone for 2 was not in our budget, and there were no sales to help the prices either. Wanted another B1G1F like we got on Fascinato.

Question, is there a setting for the camera button to function/not function on the Dx? Wifes camera wont come on when I hit it to try it out :think:

[stonehenge]

are you long pressing it?

[.GARY.]

no, will try that though.


Man I have felt like a total beginner in here the last couple days with all these questions, thanks for putting up with me fellas :)

This is what I was referring to as far as settings options. It's layed out sort of like MIUI is now with different sections, but has beast amount of options. The developer settings are pretty neat

Once it's rooted I may stick with it for a couple of days.

[stonehenge]

found fascys on CL for 80, 100, 110. Too bad I'm dirty poor and there isn't anything wrong with my X to make me want to trade it or something lol

It has a bigger screen, better camera, and fully working MIUI. Wish i had the $ to buy fascy to play with tho :emo:

[SarkOzy]

I wish I could find one that cheap. Still up around $250 where I've seen them on CL and eghey. White ones seem hard to come by

SO... can root the Bionic?

[stonehenge]

yep, bionic can be rooted and i think there are a few roms floating around, but they are all based on the stock one, no CM7 or MIUI or anything like that.

Can probably root it and load a debloated rom of some sort.

I haven't heard anything bad about them besides the fact that the bootloader is locked. But they are still rootable and there are a few roms out if you decide to play with that.

There are some bamf phones coming out in the next month but they will be 4G ($299 w/ 2yr plan) and won't have keyboards.
yeah buddy!!! i got in on a picture.
:lol:

[Chevrolet Fanatic]

Yeah, WV is a little behind on the 4g deployment...FTMFL. That's why I had to go 3g.

[stonehenge]

If you don't mind spending the money, 4G phones DO work in 3g areas. You can turn 4g off until it comes to your area (or you visit a 4g area).

The Galaxy Nexus will be out soon (most likely the 17th) and is sexy as hell. 4.6" 720p screen, dual core, 0 shutter lag camera, newest operating system available, updated by Google themselves, etc etc blah blah

Only downside is that it will cost more than a D3 and although I see it as a pro, you might see its lack of keyboard as a con.

[race2c]

Keyboard - no need when you have a big enough and wide enough screen.

Yeah, I would wait, but I need to get a new phone asap and won't be able to anyway.

[stonehenge]

gotcha, then I saw go for the DX2 or D3

Both are almost the same internally except the DX2 has bigger screen, better camera and the D3 has a front camera and keyboard

Edit: actually nevermind, after further research, the D3 has a better processor. Since you want a keyboard, you might as well get it. Since it's pentile, the smaller screen will help it look nicer too lol

[chevyrado14]

No 4g here either but fidil still getting the nexus

We actually have 4g, didn't expect it until 2012. Coworker with TB loves it.

Doubt I'd have it on all the time though with the battery it noms.

The Rezound has decent specs but NSIW HTC 4G phone after the TBs shenanigans. But I think the TB was hella rushed.

Anyone have experience rooting a samsung intercept? I can get the recovery to flash, but the kernel says its bad/corrupt. I downloaded it from different places and even shortned the filename. I am going to try a different kernel tomorrow. I don't know if superoneclick or anything else will work on it or not...

The new nook color doesn't look too bad if you like a 7" screen:

$250 for a 1.2ghz dual core, 1gb ram, etc. The Kindle will be cheaper but doesn't have an sd slot and has less ram.

Pinche MIUI camera doesnt know how to focus

[stonehenge]

pinche mbp no read MIUI thread

If you change the resolution to 8mp or 5mp, it will focus. It just doesn't play well with the "widescreen" resolution.

Or if you really want the widescreen for some reason, change the focus from auto to Infinity and it will look better, but it won't be able to focus on close things.

Mine is on 8mp FIDIL

Damn this contacts business is going to piss me off. Doubled contacts again, wanted to delete doubles and it wont let me. Why cant this damn thing just update and stay the way I had it on the other phone and the way it was saved :nono:

it has to be facebook adding all the doubles everytime it installs. I've restored my phone a shit ton of times and it never duplicates.

Juan - whats the best way to change icons? use desktop visualizer and icon packs?

Has to be the fb. When I used the official app I did not sync contacts. I switched to friendcaster. Its a much better app.

Since you are on MIUI you can just go into Themes > Icons and download some from there. If you want to pick individual icons from png/jpg files on your sdcard then ADW and LP let you change icons on each shortcut. That or you can use desktop visualizer which lets you use any image size, you can get creative.
