That sucks. Mine may have those issues, but I don’t use fastboot and haven’t tried vibrate yet. I’ll check it out tomorrow. My #1 concern is the battery, of course. It was pretty bad today, but I’m sure I’ll get it back to reasonable. ---

Gingerbread has been leaked for DX and D2. No root as of yet but running very smooth and very fast. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk ---

I am debating on getting the HTC Thunderbolt or holding out for the Motorola Bionic. If the Thunderbolt’s battery life is as bad as the Incredible, then Bionic FTW ---

My battery life is similar to what I got on my Incredible. What makes you think the Bionic will be better? Does it have a much larger battery? I doubt it will use less power. ---

I doubt it will use less power. it is suppose to be a bigger battery and it has a dual core processor which means a little better battery life ---

Bigger battery would definitely help. Not sure how dual core would help though, maybe just that the processor itself consumes less part, regardless of whether it is dual core or not. I’d imagine running two cores would take more power than one… ---

Ah, cool. I thought I had seen that they were going to be dual 1ghz, but I may be mistaken. :tup: Hopefully battery life gets better across the board. I’ll be due for another upgrade at the end of this year, so I’d love to see some great new devices coming out! ---

> [@Sleeper](#): > > I noticed the Thunderbolt has more RAM but the Bionic has a faster processor? Which is better…? Right now, the one that exists is better. My understanding is nothing, right now, will take advantage of the dual processor. But down the road it’ll be nice to have, as long as the memory is adequate. Battery life looks a ton better on the Bionic… ---

> [@Sleeper](#): > > What kind of services…? services are things that constantly run in the background, like a music player or a program that monitors things. you can see what services are running on your phone by going to settings\>applications\>running services, the more services the more memory is used. new before you get all worried because you see a lot of services running and low memory you should know that the OS terminates services which it deems unnecessary when the OS needs memory for other things. In most cases they are terminated then when the memory is back available it is restarted which is in essence why task killers are just pointless and do more harm than good ---

Blah. Moto crapware and seems pretty slow. I’ll play with it overnight, but something tells me I’ll be going back to Liberty ROM when 1.75 comes out tomorrow.
