Came from rooted droid eris. The eris had to be rooted to make it a good/decent phone. What are the pros to rooting a X, because this seems pretty good already. Thanks I'll hang up and listen.

just fyi this is not an android development question.
being a former eris user tho i was so used to customization and the only way to customize as much as the eris you need root as a side note you should try Liberty 1.5 rom its the best

Pros of rooting the X is being able to remove all the bloat that verizon put on it. They loaded all the new android phones with so much crap that it looks like an old Windows PC.
Anyway, a real plus to rooting the X is being able to run the epic roms such as Apex and Liberty. Both are awesome but if you run Liberty 1.5 make sure you grab the battery fix as that seems to be its only weak point.

So you want to commit fraud? Not really wise to be posting about that on a public forum where law enforcement might see it.
lol sounds good to me, this D2 is great. Hint Hint never buy a 1st Gen. Finally a Touch & KB w/ satisfying speed, you know? I have no complaints w/this D2 yet!

My D1 and wifes Eris were both replaced for D2 due to problems with the phones
That's hoping you don't want the global, (rotten Red brings this to us after 'we' the D2's bought this great Droid)!

I have some questions for you guys, i'm in the market for a new phone and I was wondering how your experience has been with this phone. Do you like it? Do you think the bad reviews are wrong just because it has bing?Would you rather have the Vibrant? Reply with your opinions please, thanks!
Simple answer. I have had the d1 d2 DInc, and the x, the stock launcher is OK but slow. I love the phone e and don't regret it a bit. Not to say there weren't things that I didn't like about the other phones. I wouldn't change it if I could

thanks for your help
The Fascinate has the best hardware you can get in a phone (with the exception of the Epic on Sprint I guess). Software wise the Fascinate has some issues but most of those can be fixed thanks to the fine folks at this site.
The great thing about the Fascinate is that it's about as open as a phone can get so the possibilities are only limited by our imaginations.
I really really like this phone! There are a couple little niggles, but they're nothing Froyo won't fix.
Personally, I really don't see what the big deal is about Bing. It's easy to get rid of, even if you're not particularly technical (and if so, what are you doing on this site? )
so here is the situation. at first, i wanted to buy a Droid X but they were all out of stock at the verizon store near me, so i left with a droid incredible instead. but surprisingly for me i liked the incredible a lot more then i expected that i would. and i used my incredible for a few weeks but then i started noticing the speaker on the front wasnt working right, it would make a static noise during a phone call. and i have not even reached the 30 day limit with this phone so i returned the incredible back to the vzw store again but instead of getting a new incredible i decided to get a droid x instead like i originally planned to get. and i have been using this droid x for about a few weeks now and i must say, i liked my Droid Incredible MUCH better. the incredible was much faster, and sexier. so now i am wondering if verizon will let me take back my Droid x and once again get a Droid incredible instead, i really miss my incredible and im really starting to hate this phone.
so if you didnt get that the first time in short. i had a droid incredible, i loved it, but it broke. so i got a droid x and hated it. now i want to return it and get an incredible again, but i want to know if verizon will actually let me do that.
and on an unrelated not if verizon DOES let me get an incredible again will i have one of the newer models with the SLCD displays? does any one know if this screen looks any better then the older screens? just wondering

That depends on.............mood of store manager. They can do pretty much everything there, however they could tell you you cannot make a second exchange. That happened to me once, but the manager was nice enough a let me do the exchange 3 times. So, my suggestion is - make up a little story and give it a try. Good luck.
HTC seems to always bring the greatest and latest. But in my experience their phones just don't last. Serious...NOT trying to troll. I've literally gone through 20+ HTC Recertified Like New devices in the past few years. Most common was the Oil Slick LCD problem, where Verizon eventually started blaming the customer as user affected abuse even though the LCD wasn't cracked.
Great specs encased with cheap plastic and cheap parts.

Thats been my experience with HTC devices. Loved them all until they broke in the first 3 months. I went through 13 HTC devices (from the Vogue all the way up to the Rhodium) in about a year and a half. Personally, I will never own another HTC device unless that company does something AMAZING.
As far as your question goes, if the store manager is unwilling to do anything for you, I'm sure you could find someone that would be willing to trade their Incredible for your DX.

Hmmm, troll. You post in a Droid x forum that you hate it and want an incredible. Why not post it in the incredible forum with the hopes someone would want to trade you?? And my comments were more directed to the post above mine, but if the shoe fits...

yup, hated the software, flashed the new rubix. now im in love with the x again.
Just an observation fttb: This thread is teetering on the brink. Any more trolling will cause lock/troll warnings. Keep it civil plz.
any reason i shouldn't?
LOL how ironic.
I have a DINC and thanks to its unlocked bootloader I am able to use it freely 100% on my network.
And on the other end, I am eagerly waiting for a miracle for someone to crack DX's bootloader so I can program it and have all its features such as EVDO.
It's a very good phone and don't blame you wanting a change, but nothing can beat that beautiful 4.3'' and HDMI port.
Just my 2 cents.
I was on the fence too. Theres a lot I like about both phones. The Inc has worse battery life and there are always the pro/cons of the smaller size.

i can just buy the same size battery as the DX and solve that problem.
and what about that processor on the dx? i couldnt imagine leaving that behind
I read that while the omap is speedier, they are definitely comparable.
How easy is it to restore a droid inc? Rsd lite for the droid x is the easiest thing ever..
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Does the inc have a magnetometer? If not would the new google maps work with it?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
any particular reason you are getting the Dinc? I mean over the X? I know that I was all worked up about "the bootloader" and no "real custom roms" and no "custom kernels", so I got the D1 (I know--not the same as the Dinc).
What I found out is that all that stuff really isn't all that big of deal. I have tried a couple of the great custom roms - Bugless Beast and Cyanogen. Both great. But not any better than Apex or Rubix (in my opinion). And custom kernels are a pain. the milestone overclock project allows you to overclock your Dx or d2 on the fly. with custom kernels you have to flash a new kernel anytime you want to change your clock speeds.
so anyways - I found out that the DX bootloader issue isn't that big of deal. just thought I would share some thoughts with you.
i have both the droid x and htc dinc and i agree the dinc has the WORST battery life ever! wtf for a small phone!! my droid x standard battery puts out more than this dinc but i like it all except for that and the screen isnt too bad. much crisper than droid x but not as nice for videos and taking photos. so not sure when i will switch back to my x but the dinc is fun to mess with but i for sure wouldnt get rid of my x completley for it thought! just my thoughts hope it helps!

IF you are referring to OC setting they can/do stick through reboots, power up/down and all that jazz. They stick all the time thats what apply on boot is...

Well - it would have been easier to address whatever issue you are having if you had just come out with it and let us know what settings you need to be "stuck" that won't seem to "stick" bc of the bootloader.
care to elaborate?
Switch as quickly as possible I had a Droid incredible and switched to this piece of junk DroidX and am switching back now after five months. DroidX is a terrible phone. DroidX incredible with HTC sense awesome

i agree the bootloader in the HTC is so so much better than the x!! dont know until u try it!
In the decision between DX & DInc, I believe it may just be like comparing apples to oranges. The DX has a larger screen, a better processor and 3 times the memory installed. It's not often (in my experience) that you get a free 16GB SD card included with your phone. With all these things going for the DX, I'm not sure if a comparison with the DInc is fair. If a person is willing to give all of that up for a DInc, then the reasoning has to be something extremely subjective (i.e. cosmetic appeal or something). The DInc is truly incredible, but not as incredible as the DX. (IMHO)
the 16gb card is going from the DX into the Inc so that is a moot point..
and yes cosmetic appeal is one aspect of my decision.

Sure I've been trying but it seems no one has bee able to help out.
I got all the MDN and MIN settings on the phone stuck, except the ones for 3G in MIP and PPP (UM and AN) tabs.
I have tried whiterabbit's NV items script, flashed them via CDMA workshop and settings got stuck, but the problem is I gotta edit other settings manually and again not sticking.
I can send you a link of the values I need exactly on the MIP and PPP (UM and AN) tabs so you can have a better idea.
Can the new moto blur for android 2.2 be ported over from the droid x2 to the atrix. I hear the new blur on the x2 was more stable and much faster. There was also a system dump release for the droid x2.

I'm just going by what i heard.... which i think was what someone said in another thread on these forums. Why didn't i take the time to look up the specs before asking my QUESTION? Because the Droid X2 is a Verizon phone. I don't use Verizon. Hence have hardly any interest in the phone.

Yeah, but it's a Motorola Phone... shouldn't matter what carrier it's on... I had the original Droid X when it came out cus ATT sucked with their choice of Android phones... fan of technology not fan of companies...
Sometimes I can be blunt with my responses.. don't take it the wrong way... was just making a point...
Well yea.... AT&T's choice of Android phones did suck until recently. That's why i went from an iPhone 3GS to an iPhone 4 until the Atrix came out. Though while i liked Android... didn't really feel like switching carriers for it.... so i didn't really bother with the Droid/Droid X/ Droid 2, etc...
Yep, what sort of bongo company releases a second high end phone with an outdated system, oh wait it can only be moto!
