BigSqwert Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 22, 2010 -> 08:09 PM) I have a Motorola phone (so it has Motoblur), how can I tell which version I have? Somewhere in your settings. You definitely don't have 2.2 since it's not officially released yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyCaucasian Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) CNBC is interviewing people from Verizon, Adobe, Google, and Motorola before the Droid X announcement and the interviewer has said the words Apple and iPhone more in 30 seconds than Apple does in their own press conferences. I'm sure their just LOVING having Apple and iPhone said over and over again right before they are trying to launch a competing product.

RockRaines Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Not sure why Motorola keeps talking about Flash support, thats not necessarily a good thing with all the glitches and viruses it opens you up to.

NorthSideSox72 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Got my HTC Droid Incredible last night. Playing with it today to get it set up. Usual frustrations with dealing with a new OS (new to me I mean), learning it, but I think I'm going to like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SexiAlexei Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 For those of you that have the EVO, how is your battery life? I'm trying to decide between the EVO and iPhone 4. I'd like the EVO, but I am hearing horrible stories about the battery only lasting 6-8hours, 12 at max. I usually go atleast a day if not 2 without charging my phone, so I am worried about this.

iamshack Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 It just depends how much you use them, as Rock said. If you are a constant web surfer or email checker, your battery is basically going to last one work day. 8-10 hours. If you're more of a casual user like me, and you just text, make a few phone calls, maybe check the weather, google a few things, check a sports score, check soxtalk.com, it will last for 1-2 full days. Just depends on what you do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamshack Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 Oh, I will add this though. The battery life of the iPhone4, with what little time I've had with it, does seem to last a little longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usual frustrations with dealing with a new OS (new to me I mean), learning it, but I think I'm going to like it. So far, except for one thing, I like the phone, and the Droid OS. Problem is the battery. I turned the phone on at about 5:30am after charging fully overnight... and now I am getting a warning (at 1pm) saying the battery is at 14%. WTF? Seriously? If this is the way the battery is going to be, I am going to have to return the phone. I am hoping that over a few nights of charging the battery will improve. If not, I'm returning it. Running out of batter mid-afternoon is not acceptable. Needs to make it through a long single day, at LEAST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you could adjust some settings to prolong the life a bit...lower the brightness, make it turn off more quickly once it becomes idle, etc. If you are indeed correct, and the battery is dying by lunchtime, a lot of customers are going to be upset. Say what you want about usage, but these smartphones are indeed made for the business person... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also trying a number of tips they provided in the forums, and we'll see where we're at in a few days of making those changes. One cool feature on this phone is, it actually shows you what is eating the battery life. Oddly, the screen is only 8% of my total power consumption. 30%, highest number, is Android and its associated services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chetkincaid Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Just upgraded to the iphone 4 from iphone 3g. Sweetness all over. For those of you who are asking whether they should get an iphone or a droid phone, consider this: The line at every apple store and everywhere else that sells the iphone is a mile long today. How many lines have you seen for ANY other phone before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palehosefan Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 The Droid X looks like a great phone. However, I hope Google finds a max point on screen size very soon and sticks with it. I don't want to carry around a Zack Morris size cell phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
