Good News! I unlocked the phone (thus erasing and resetting everything again) and my signal strength has improved significantly! Root to follow later today when I have a little more time

I'm really hoping that the new radios that are apparently holding back the jelly bean release end up solving some of these issues. :-\ In the mean time... Those threads that you've posted in your sig are enticing me to have some fun. I've already unlocked and rooted all of the other android...

I recently purchased a second hand Vzw Galaxy Nexus. Last night I attempted to activate the device via Verizon's online activation. All went well although I was experiencing issues after activation with my data. At first I was receiving no cellular voice or data service. Then I had voice service...

I recently acquired a near-pristine OG Droid from a friend of mine who "upgraded" to an iPhone. Since I already have a primary phone of my own, this one will be used as a wifi-only toy/test ground for me to learn more about the nitty gritty of the Android ecosystem. What do you think I should do...

Haha, sorry, but if I wanted that then I would have just gone with a droid 2 to start with! I figured that if I were to be able to repair this one for a relatively small layout of money then I could sell the iPhone before the resale prices start dropping more in September and have a decent...

Sadly, the ESN is bad as suspected. Oh well, I guess I found myself a nice piece of modern art!

Well, here is the story. I was feeling a little down on myself since I am currently being forced to use an iPhone 4. Don't get me wrong, it's a lovely device, but very much not for me. I was waiting patiently for ICS to come along and start taking advantage of that second core that seems to be...

I can has Thunderbolt? Only reason I held off in March was the bulk, battery life, screen res and battery life. Was forced into an iPhone by a family member whose upgrade I was going to take at a later date to use for a better android handset but I can't take it anymore!! HELP!?

I keep returning to these threads and nobody seems to be posting much even though press photos and details keep leaking out. While I would love a 4G phone and am in an area where there is blanket LTE coverage, the tech is still first gen so the devices are fat and the radios inefficient. For the...

I need a new phone. At this point, I know an LTE phone is in my future, and the only thing I need to do is pick one. Easy, right? :) I don't particularly care about raw specs, but I would like to grab a phone with pretty strong support from users and a decent dev community. This is one of the...

Technically LTE (Long Term Evolution) isn't actually 4G but a refinement of 3G that's actually more like 3.9G. True 4G, LTE Advanced, is still in the testing stages currently, and isn't expected to be finalized until around 2012, which means that it will be much later by the time the carriers...

I've heard Seidio has some pretty good products, so I may have to check that out if I end up getting an HTC (probable). Can anyone speak to the durability of their cases? Do they protect well? Are they obtrusive?

Just concerned because I hate most all screen protectors and my phone lives between my pocket and my hand, haha

I am looking for a new phone on VZ, but I don't know what to get! I love HTC hardware and Sense UI, but the glass of the Thunderbolt bothers me. While Moto likes to use Gorilla Glass, I know HTC uses different tech, so I have to ask, how have your Incredible (pun intended) screens held up? :D

...Now where were those droids we were looking for...?
