It does not matter--it's triggered by jostling or diconnection of the jack connection for the headset/earbuds. Many times, if you pull the headphone jack out while a song/podcast is playing, the audio pauses--which seems like a good idea. Other times, instead, that intereference or disconnection launches the voice command and dials the phone--it must override the screen lock somehow. It's a PITA. Especially, if it repeatedly calls someone at 5:30 a.m.
I wonder if turning off voice command would work, because I've had my phone set to PIN screen lock and BT bypass set to off but it has still happened. I'll see if BT helps, as Verizon is sending me a BT stereo head set while they try to sort this out with Moto.
From what I've read there is a mobile conference on February 26th that will unveil some new stuff. May want to wait until then.
How much are the original EVO 4Gs going for these days? Maybe pick one up on the cheap to hold you over until the Nexus drops on Sprint?
The Epic 4G Touch (Samsung Galaxy SII) is awesome. Great battery life, beautiful display, quality camera. I can't think of anything I don't like on this device. Hell, I'm using the 4G hotspot now to run my PS3 and write this post while also playing on my iPad.
$100 on Cowboom, $5 and $6 coupons for new users floating around out there, dozens to choose from, 30 return policy (let them try proving that the phone didn't randomly reboot when you had it):
I got an Evo 4G from Best Buy today with my upgrade for $79. My son dropped my phone last night and the screan smashed. Best Buy has a better protection plan then Spront, that is $2 more per month but it has unlimited replacements and no deductable. I looked at all of the other phones including the Iphone 4s and in the end it wasn't close. The iphone has tons of glitches but the huge difference is that you can't remove the battery like you can on the Evo. I have 3 batterys and change them out all the time.
If being able to pop in a new battery at any time you want, then yes, you made the right choice.
Looks promising but I just installed it on my Nook and my Atrix and it basically doesn't work at all. Web pages never render, none of the buttons or menus do anything. It seems much closer to an Alpha than a Beta to me.
Logged into the Market, and neither my Nook nor my Galaxy S II Skyrocket showed as available devices for installation. I'm guessing it's a limited number of hardware platforms that are being supported right now.
Commenters on droid-life.com are saying you need to download it through the Market link in order to get it to work.
Hmmm works pretty damn well on my GN. Well enough that I just got rid of Dolphin and will use this as my stock browser. Best mobile version of tabbed browsing that I've seen yet.
Same here. Zero issues with either Nexus (had to replace my first due to a drop)
Yeah, it's just my ROM. Lame. I use Chrome exclusively on my desktop and got too excited to use it on my phone too.
That's just nonsense. I'll take a halfway decent display that last all day vs a great one that doesn't. I'm sure that comes down to personal preference, but the battery was why I bought this phone. We're not dealing with a dot matrix display here. The screen is fine.
The screen is fine and there are so many other ways to use the battery besides the screen. Imagine having background updates of apps that you use all the time ...
Hmm, have you tried downloading Light Flow? It allows you to control the Vibrate and LED Light notifications for all your apps. It's pretty intuitive, but here are some directions.
i think that's a setting you have to change within the app. It took me a while to figure out how to get different notifications for different actins, partly because the notifications for gmail were about 5 levels deep within their menus.
Yeah, I saw this after I posted. From what I've read, the Skyrocket won't be getting ICS until Q2 of this year.
Not to get into a pissing match, but side by side I think the Galaxy Nexus bests the iPhone when it comes to the display. It just seems to render colors better.
I guess it's a matter of opinion. I personally still hold the iPhone as the gold standard as far as screens go... If you look closely enough, I can still see the pentile matrix on the GNex. Where as the iPhone looks like the closest thing to print on a LCD display that I've seen before. I'm sure the fact that the screen is much smaller than the ones it's being compared to is a bonus for the iPhone though, allowing for higher pixel density.
What I don't understand is how these reviewers don't see the battery life as an enormous selling point. At this point I don't care about being on the latest version of Android. It doesn't seem like anyone but the Nexus lines will ever be on the cutting edge, and until it starts to adversely effect my app selection, it becomes a moot point. It kinda sucks, but that's the state of Android at the moment.
Never mind the reviewers, why aren't we seeing Motorola and Verizon pimp the hell out of this phone? I wouldn't know it existed if I wasn't looking at Android blogs. I think the entire Razr release was botched when they didn't make the Maxx the standard and then push the hell out of it. The battery life is almost revolutionary at this point and nobody seems to know about it.
Taking this a step further, when ICS does come to the Maxx, is there any doubt that it'll be the best phone on the market?
I said exactly this upthread. The Maxx was pimped quite a bit during the Super Bowl, but even then, the line between the Razr and Razr Maxx still seemed blurred. Verizon/Moto should have been screaming loud and clear, THIS PHONE HAS THE BEST BATTERY EVER.
Uhh, no it won't be, and there will be multiple new phones that beat it soundly, just as it has been with every "awesomest phone ever" that has come out.
