I would say no I didn't notice anything in it that would do away with hardware keys correct me if you noticed it.I think it is a very very good combination of themes and apps.

Ya, I would so no as well. He never went into Settings>About Phone>Android Version. So we have no proof.

Yea and even if he did that I'm pretty darn certain that can be modified.

Faded Spot On Screen?

So I've noticed recently that my screen on my CPO X has gotten a faded spot about an inch from the bottom of the screen. It hasn't reduced functionality or anything, it just... urks me, lol. Anyone else have this, and do you think Verizon might help me out? It makes the device significantly less attractive.
D: Also, only visible when the screen is on on a white page, but still.
Haven't over heated the phone once nor dropped it, running SetCPU at 1000 max 600 min.
Running on rooted stock, also.

had this on my original and refurbished droid x, quite strange
Think I could get a new one if I ***** about problems with responsive problems? XD
I have this same problem in the same spot. Its really annoying lol

Sorry, typo. Anywho, yeah, very annoying. It's only my second Android device, too- I came from the HTC Eris. Probably no way I can fix it, either.

You might as well talk to Verizon about it. There's nothing you could lose from that

The screen works as it should, theres just a bright spot on white or light colored backgrounds.
I just traded my Incredible for the X. I really like this phone but this spot is driving me crazy! I wish I could fix it somehow.

I may have just found your post on DroidForums about the same issue.
Did you ever contact Motorola, by chance?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Same exact problem here. I talked to my guy at verizon and he saidd it for sure falls under a warranty replacement for a refurb phone. But it doesn't bug me enough yet to make me do that. I'll wait until my one year is almost up then replace it.

Yes I did but I don't have the receipt, the guy I traded with said he will take care of it. Hopefully they'll replace it for me. Its not a huge deal but it gets on my nerves.

I have what appears to be a dead pixel at the top right of my screen. It's a CPO and I received it this way. It has bugged the **** outta me since I got it. It was a replacement phone because the first one wouldn't stop rebooting. I think I'll call and complain as well, but I don't want my third X to have some other problem lol.

Try Jscreenfix, its free on the market, let it run for like 30 minutes... It fixed a dead pixel on my Droid 1.
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
Will try, but I don't think its a dead pixel. It just looks like a half inch wide faded spot.

I was playing with my friends new DX today and his screen looks so much better than mine for some reason, my screen looks really washed out and it has the ugly spot. Maybe by the time I get it back Gingerbread will be out

Withdrawal...

So I have to admit I'm feeling some withdrawal from my nexus s. I got the EVO 3d for $100 no contract so in trying it out, in on my fourth day with it and I have to admit its nothing like ny nexus s . I give it less than a week before I go back and sell the 3d.

U went to a 3d gimmick phone. Uuwwf. Withdrawal symptoms well deserved

Lol well the 3d is actually better than I thought but I was more interested in screen resolution, gpu and dual core. But I'm not at all happy with it. Maybe its all the bloat or maybe I just miss miui but i definately feel it...

Lol! I wish. Hasn't been fullly rooted yet. It shipped with encrypted bootloader

Yea, locked bootloader and aosp is gonna be a B to get going on that thing. I get mad at the whole radio issue, I will probably have a 3D in my house with the option to swap for my NS4G, but I almost know Ill be keeping my NS4G.

Um. Sense isn't "bloatware" or a "app." That's the ROM, of course you can't remove that because its in the frameworks.
But individual apps like NASCAR and whatever bloat that are included can be removed without root access. Apks in /system/app/ cant be removed, root is needed to make changes throughout the system.

Samsung Conquer 4G (opinions)

So this has nothing to do with the epic, but I was told I was getting a brand new conquer 4G as a gift. I tried finding its forums to see what's up with the phone but it seems likeit doesn't have its own section(or I can't find it)? So I just wanted to know what you guys thought about that phone? Would it be easy to root it and make it better or is it already a great phone stock?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
i have a friend that has one. He loves it, its not rooted or anything so dont have a clue about development for it. he likes it but of course he is jealous of my phone because of how badass it is...
My lady's sister has that phone. There isn't much development for it, and no official section for it on xda last I checked. There is some basic rooting info for it in general I found once. There is also another site you can find with google dedicated to only that device. As of a few months ago there were one or two roms for it.

Its going to become my mp3 player lol. I got no better use for it for now. My epic is still amazing so I won't switch them and ill just use that for fun. Its size seems pretty nice to carry and have with me so I'm looking forward to getting it. And I found a way to root it, its actually the same way I rooted my epic on froyo. But I couldn't find no roms or anything for it.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Coming from a tech perspective, I never see them come in for repairs though they may be indicative of little we sell of them, it's still a great little phone, probably one of the best for your money in terms of an entry level phone. Budget level android phones have come a long way, and the Conquer is a great example of that.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
So one more question. What would you perfer the conquer or original evo?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
My son had one until it went through the washing machine. Great budget phone in my opinion. The lower screen resolution compared to my Epic was the only noticeable difference, that and it was running a more vanilla flavored Gingerbread without TouchWiz.

The keyboard is really just a luxury for me I prefer on screen keyboards 90% of the time. What are others feelings on Motorola?
Okay, enjoy your ****ty locked bootloader.
If it has the S4 cpu it is mine as soon as my upgrade comes
Also I'm 95% positive this is the rumored photon q

Motorola phones should be getting better since google bought them. I know people that have a razr and all of them love it and it is fast. It's just their ui that's weird. I'm a sense or aosp guy. I keep sense on my 3d but I love aosp ics on my epic
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Hmm that looks nice. On screen keys smart. If the boot loader doesn't get locked down... I would think about it.
Sent From My Sprint Galaxy Nexus
As one who really likes (needs) to have a physical keyboard, the big appeal for me is the 5th row of dedicated numerals. That was the deciding factor for me over the Evo shift that was available at the time. I would prefer another Samsung, and I would prefer an unlocked bootloader. But if something happened to my epic, and this was the only phone like this available, I would buy it.

For what it's worth, our Moto Rep told us about a month ago he had an inkling that their next flagship phone for us would be a QWERTY slider. Take that for what it is, but this would reaffirm it.

Well, lookie here. I guess the qwerty slider isn't dead after all.

I'm going to do the same thing I do with all of my other phones...use it . As far as making reach its full potential, I'm waiting for a bad ass custom ROM to surface. Once the boards are riddled with new ROMs that really push this hardware, thats when my fun really begins. For now, I'm going to run stock for a couple months to give the development community some time to cook up some awesomeness.

What case are you planning on buying? My sister wants to put on a cell phone charm as well, but the only cases that have a cutout for the lanyard are Samsung cases that we've found so far.
Actually...I liked "Take over the world"
Buying more accessories for it than I need. Cables, cases, batteries, chargers, screen protectors, etc... till I figure out which ones I like best and use most often, then the rest will stay in a box as spares.
