    Extended Battery worse than original help!

    I'm sorry I don't have an answer but I am having what seems like the same issue. I don't think this battery is lasting as long as the stock one. I have a colleague that agrees as well. I winder is there is some kind of reset or something that can be done in terms of calibration...just throwing...

    had my first random shutoff...

    I've had many reboots since purchasing on launch day. I haven't freaked out yet because as pointed out, its a new phone, a new OS, old apps on a new OS, new apps on a new OS, etc... Some updates to both the OS and apps will get things stabilized. Remember that bleeding edge can be messy...

    Ya'll ever feel like ICS is a step backwards?

    I'm curious about what other issues @butchyon has with ICS. Personally if I make and change so many shortcuts to files that it throws off the whole OS experience then I should look for another one. There are definitely some pros and cons, but early adopters inherently accept the role of beta/UAT...

    Do you honestly need a screen protector?

    Sorry no pics yet, but it has cured and cleared up nicely - there is a bit of portrait-oriented texture that is only noticeable by looking at an angle - you can't actually feel it. As for a case, I use the VZW shell + holster and the Ghost Armor is cut a little smaller than the screen, so where...

    Do you honestly need a screen protector?

    and also to @dmmarck - the thing I've learned with the Ghost Armor is that you really need to let it sit overnight before touching it at all. Not only do the lines and fog disappear, but the surface cures and becomes smooth, not tacky. It truly takes a few extra minutes and some extra attention...

    Do you honestly need a screen protector?

    Finally got the right Ghost Armor model today, will apply and post pics after a day or so. I've had Ghost Armor on my last few phones and like it - clear, not tacky, and tough. I don't have anything against the other brands, just never tried them...

    Which Cases Fit With the Extended Battery?

    Mine definitely didn't sit down into the case flush like with the standard battery and cover. Here's a picture of inside the shell - you can see where it bulges up where the standard battery cover has that slight indentation. With the extended cover bulging out it doesn't fit into the case so...

    Ghost Armor Carbon Fiber and Screen Protector Review

    Same thing here - they apparently had one or two people who were packing orders send out a LOT of Nexus S items by mistake. I got my delivery confirmation right away but it won't get here until 1/4 - glad they "expressed" it...anyway I've always used Ghost Armor so this review helped me decide...

    Which Cases Fit With the Extended Battery?

    I have the shell/holster combo also and it doesn't fit well with the extended battery. Do you have the battery cover on or off?

    Lost 40% battery in two hours with light use? WOW

    I think its too early to judge the hardware yet - I have had wildly varying results but I know that there are a lot of factors involved. I am moving in and out of signal areas, changing radio settings, changing apps, etc... so it is very difficult to get a good baseline unless you have more than...

    Do NOT use Verizon screen protectors!

    I am waiting for Ghost Armor to get theirs to market. I have used their protectors on my last 4-5 phones and they're great - crystal clear, not tacky, and still tough against scratch marks. You have to be careful putting them on but if you get it right they last a long time. Usually $15 for a...

    Droid X Forum Member Initial Thoughts & Reviews

    Ordered mine online at about 4:00am on Thursday, and the fedex guy showed up by 10:30am on Friday; very pleased with that. Now for the phone itself, it is everything I hoped for and read about but I am definitely amazed by the size. I don't know if I'll try to wear this thing on my hip or not. I...
