So its like a mirror reflective from the back camera to your face? Pretty clever I say.

They haven't release it yet they call it onemoreface, I think they are still in the state of building it maybe a few more months hopefully january and when they finally release it hopefully its compatible with G2. This addon will solved my issues regarding my constant use of video call :happy:excited:

I'd buy it. Never video call, but still cool to have.

Plus it's a 5MP front camera

Now that's a spicy meatball!!! LOL!

For people that are thinking.. wtf are they doing read this thread through http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879747

I cant find any information about the release date or where we can buy it .
the name "one more face" doesnt make searching for it easier .lol
All i found is, it can be a key ring .

i literally just spit my drink out reading this, lol. thanks
on topic tho, i would probably buy it just to try it, lol.

HeHe, I almost fell off my chair............5 MPXs too........................tks MacMax!

I want one lol cant wait til they're released

I Hope this will get released soon and for a few different models other then the Nexus One in the picture, I will buy at least two one for my Nexus the other for the HTC Desire Z , but I got a funny feeling that by the time this rolls out it might be to late, within the next six months most smart phones will all have what Nokia has been doing for years, front face cameras, then this gadget will be to late.

It would be too late if in six months everyone ditches their phone for one with an ffc. Ill have my g2 longer than that. And I don't know why it would take 6 months to release two mirrors that mount to the top of your phone. You could ?ake this for yourself right now it looks like.
That said ill buy one if it comes out

should I switch my g2x out for a mytouch 4g slide?

I've been wondering if I should switch my g2x out for a mytouch 4g slide. I like the g2x but its been causing problems ... not to mention the horrible battery life
Ive always liked the mytouch brand and I believe the new slide is dual 1.2ghz Processer.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

If you like the mytouch better then yes you should switch. Why keep a phone if you don't want it?
G2X CM7

I don't really think there's a reason to have a physical keyboard anymore unless your a female with long nails. A keyboard just adds more bulk to the phone. In the end, your going to have to figure out which phone suites your needs better.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

It's not that I don't want the g2x. Its just too many problems you know? And an actual keyboard comes in handy sometimes. I'll do come more research on it, I don't thing the new slide is that thick. I could be wrong.
What I really want is my iPhone 4 back.. I was usingg it for almost a year and then it took a dive in the lake.. now it boots up to the iTunes logo if I have it plugged in but then halfway through a restore, I know its not totally fried cuz then it wouldn't even turn on.

Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

I like the Slide better than the G2x. In fact, now I like most phones more than it. I haven't noticed *too much* that I lost .3 inches of screen. I can't say that i would like it more if LG actually released a proper update though.

That screen looks alot smaller than just 0.3. I don't think I could never go lower than 4"

If the screen is the same as the mytouch 4g then it isn't a big problem for me. Besides I heard it has a pretty good resolution as well
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

Traded a nib g2x for a myt4g slide, its the wifes. I still have my g2x.
Camera goes slide easy
Screen on g2x looks and feels much bigger
Battery is tie. I've never had bad battery on any android I've had
Its not thick for having a keyboard
Sense sucks
G2x blows doors off the slide at this point
No perm root
Hate physical buttons
Speakers are same as g2x.
G2x looks better
Meh, your choice op but id keep the g2x. Get a hardware bug free one, slap cm7 on there and be happy..

You should just wait for the Hercules

I don't know. Each blog I've read states something different but now that the device is close to being released, none of them are speculating. Everything spec wise is just a rumor at this point. I asked my step father who sometimes knows these things but he didn't know. He said he would ask someone who might though. He did tell me that Samsung would be releasing the phone on every carrier on the same day or atleast that's what they want to do.
In my opinion, I think every GSII variant in the US will have the Exynos CPU. I would think they want each region to have the same CPU.
The battery cover on that Hercules looms like its brushed metal.

Making the switch....

Ugh this is such a hard decision but I'm honestly so tired of my atrix. Development...yeah right. Basically dead. Really wants to make me switch phones. I got offered an inspire on Craigslist and I tested one out at the att store. Top 3 for me would be inspire, sgs2, and infuse but I haven't gotten any sgs2 or infuse offers sso I'm thinking about taking up this inspire offer. Any atrix converts over here? Heard the inspire is laggy and bbattery life isn't all that great but everything seemed pretty nice to me at the att store. Can I get any input of previous atrix owners? Is it worth the switch?
Sent from my CM7 ATRIX via XDA Premium App

i have both. i currently have my inspire up for sale in the marketplace, not because its not an outstanding device, but i have had my run, i still have my atrix as a backup, and i got a new GS2 as my daily.
if i had to chose between the atrix and inspire as daily drivers, i would go inspire
the deciding factor in me keeping my atrix over my inspire is that i also have the laptop dock, and i am looking forward to seeing what can be done on it. maybe i should focus my efforts on creating something for the atrix now.....

I had an atrix. Took it back and got an Inspire. Never looked back haha. If you do decide to get an Inspire, buy pirateghost's

Okay. Getting an inspire locally today...wooooh! could you guys help me with a few preparations as far as security goes though? I'm running cm7 right now and i did a factory reset and moved all files from /mnt/emmc to my computer yet there seem to still be some files left behind...what do i do? is it safe to keep these? or is there a better way to make sure my personal info is nowhere to be found on the phone. Under file manager there are files such as .Spotlight-v100, .Trashes, .Adobe, .android_secure, LOST.DIR. why is this?

settings, storage/sdcard, format

i have a inspire running revolution HD and i have 0 lag on it. I love it.

THANKYOU so much. This worked perfectly. I've been trying to get rid of everything in emmc by factory resetting and that didn't work but this worked like a charm. So now that I've factory reset, and formatted internal SD card should I be safe to sell as far as security goes?

i dont see why not

I like my Inspire but I don't have much to compare it to. The battery life is not teriffic, with wifi, bluetooth and the occasional GPS query I will go about 24 hours. YMMV.
Not sure where the laggy comes in. It works well for me.

This phone isn't laggy at all with a custom rom. Lagginess comes from poor development on HTCs end. It holds its own compared to the tegra2 imo ...

I was presented with the same decision and am glad I went with inspire. I think sense is pretty cool. Also the guy at att told me that the atrix only uses one of its cores for the mobile os, and the other core is for the docking function.
Is this really true? I know att reps are heavily misinformed sometimes.

Wow that seems like a low blow to atrix users if that is true. But I highly doubt it as that info would have been leaked already.

ICS on Droid Charge

Seeing all the Galaxy S getting Custom ICS ROM, making me really jealous about owning the Droid Charge but unable to have ICS ROM,
Is anyone working on a ICS ROM for Droid Charge?

From the looks of it, no. Just root it and take control of what you want out of your phone. If you are still on froyo, get gingy. Either ota or try a rom here.

thats cray! You would think Samsung would follow HTC but I dont think Samsung really cares about software. They only care about hardware (which I love). HTC on the other hand cares about software and the user experience than their hardware (HTC got some ugly phones). My next phone will prob be HTC since Samsung really doesn't care about our experience with this phone(and TBH I loved sense).

Nothing worked on the phone besides the launcher. The slide up notifications per icon was badass. But it had no network service or WiFi. Not even a play store. Had a bunch of apps but they were dummy icons. He said it was for development purposes and show. It was extremely smooth though. I asked about the boot loader and he said yes to being unlocked. He was quick to answer and said that it is the first Motorola device to ever ship with an unlockable boot loader. He said it would be kinda similar to the gnexs. There will be an easy to access option out of the box to unlock the boot loader.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

He also gave me a statistics speech about why they have ignored bootloader unlock claims in the past but I don't remember. I was playing with the phone lol. But I'll ask again when he comes around next month. Had something to do with percentage and how we the people asking for the unlocked boot loader are only a 1%

If you can get information on the bootloader unlock process that'd be awesome. The Atrix HD has an option but doesn't say a code. If the Photon Q shows the code for you when you run 'fastboot oem unlock' then I think it would mean hard work to get the Atrix HD unlocked.

Price??

Thanks for sharing this - still surprised that the phone is marketed with business users, as subjectively put... in mind - being that the battery is fixed, what options have you heard for individuals needing more power for voice calls on the go?
I loved the previous one which I still use - mainly for it's swappable batteries for continuous voice calls - not everyone has the chance to be by a power source to charge (e.g. wall / car). There are external power packs as I mentioned in another post; (either by solar or pre-charged that plug into the microusb).

They can market it as a business phone but I love the new features and I know most other consumers would. Of course smartactions and the new swipe feature for notifications on icons. He said the RAZR already has smart actions. Why hasn't anyone ported that feature yet?!

oh damn! i didnt even think of looking. he was in the store for about half an hour talking to us about it. i spent most my time testing out the keyboard and messing around with the new UI. which btw on the 19th, 20th at the latest i hope to see this new launcher ported to other devices! trust me, everyone will love it! they took features from jellybean and pimped them up for ics on the q
our store should get them by this friday. if so then ill get the model number for you then. and whatever else you need. and sense the bootloader is unlocked it should be fairly easy for me to extract an image from it to post here before the 19th

actually.. we would probably get the demo phone before the actual phones.. which should be in the next few days. demo phones are no different than the real thing. they come to us with a demo video app preinstalled. we have factory reset our demo phones before and used them as a store phone. could someone point me in the right direction of getting an image from this phone? **safely**. dont want to **** the phone up and get fired lol

ive never tried with dump_image but i would imagine that might work. ideally we could root it and grab the images that we need then unroot it easily enough. once it launches and the tool comes out i could put out the CWM and have people unlock to root
