    vibrate sounds weird?

    i thought mine was just mildly defective. thank goodness this is everyone. it does kind of sound like an animal dying... perhaps drowning. it's like it vibrates and oscillates at the same time. not a strong steady burst of vib.

    3rd Party Launcher on Bionic? LP? ADW?

    I was a long-time LP+ user on my OG, and I recently gave GoLauncher a test run per Droid-Life's suggestion. I must say it is pretty nice. It pack quite the punch that LP+ does, but it offers enough customization to satisfy my needs right off the bat. They also offer the same widgets that LP+...

    Blur Vs. Customer Launchers on Bionic

    The paid version of Launcher Pro, Launcher Pro+, is totally worth shelling out the money. Resizing is a + feature, as well as the BEST Twitter and Calendar widgets out there. I used it religiously on my OG, and have been fighting the urge to go back to it on my Bionic. I really do like the...

    Did you run Backup Assist when you first booted your phone?

    Duplicating Contacts

    it happens because android automatically syncs your contacts with your google account, but verizon throws in backup assist which will do the same thing, just on verizon's end. in the "my accounts" section, just check which accounts you have syncing contacts.

    When will the Bionic get the ICS Update?

    My Bionic

    not to mention, i think even basic phones require the lowest $15 tier of the data plan now that they switched to tiers.

    My Bionic

    I think you need to purchase a data plan for the new line in order to be eligible for the promo price. that's my understanding of it, though i could be wrong. let me know how it works out.

    My Bionic

    in which case you still pay 10 for the line and $15 for the basic data monthly. still ends up costing well above what the Bionic costs at full retail. the point being, you can do something like that, but don't be fooled into thinking that VZW would leave a loophole that puts the consumer...

    My Bionic

    I've spoken to a verizon rep about that before, and it doesn't fly. each phone on your family plan requires that a device be assigned to it, so you can't have a line floating without a plan / device attached. since you're signing on now, you are going to end up paying and extra $10/mo. PLUS...

    My Bionic

    come on dudes. the purpose of this thread is that moto send this guy a Bionic, and out of the kindness of his heart, he is giving us a first look into the device. no this vs. that, what is better / what is worse. i am interested in the feature comparisons, but because it offers a lens which...

    My Bionic

    Thanks for throwing this thread together. I by and large skimmed 30 pages and read all of the OP's posts, and I'm pretty psyched on the Bionic. It really looks like it will be a stand up phone, particularly is a OG-esque community forms around it. I am excited to see what this thing is...
