Thanks If this is your first smart phone just get use to it for a few months until some newbie proof root and mod methods are released. Rooting just gives admin rights to tweak the base phone system settings. CM9 = Cyanogen Mod 9 (9 for Ice Cream Sandwhich OS). A team of extreme nerds who live their lives building a custom fully tweakable "OS" for a phone. For a newbie I would suggest reading the Droid forum or Droid Life, tons of new person info Just avoid asking those questions on XDA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need to install the android sdk so that you can have access to adb and fastboot. The risks are pretty low with this phone since it was pretty much made to be rooted. The bootloader is unlocked with a simple command, it can be re-lock with another command. Google released the stock images...so you can always go back to how it was. Got mine yesterday as well.

Bigbird Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 How's everyones battery life? So far mine seems a bit rough. Also, any way to get the normal messaging keyboard features on the browser? Auto-correct and all that jazz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read that these seem to be fairly common issues. Just wondering if there's a way to fix it or if that's just how it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best thing you can do for that phone is root then rom it. There are quite a few REALLY good roms out right now with great kernels. My best so far was 2 1/2 days on the extended battery.

Shits like :fuckyeah: Screen and Android OS haha. It's fine when I don't mess with it. I took it off the charger at like 12:30 today and by 4:30ish it was still at like 85%, and I had used it a bit. However, if I use it for any sustained amount of time it loses charge really really fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbird Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Okay, I'm rooted and ROM'd now. Again, the battery will last forever I'd the phone is just sitting there. That's not the case though if I'm on the internet or watching a video, which I can deal with because I've usually got a charger. The thing that does worry me is that the battery gets extremely hot, currently at 113°f. Is this normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustangman2011 Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 So how are you guys doing with your phones now? Still loving it? Sprint is out next week just wanted some info. It is outdated already? spec wise etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 It is outdated already? spec wise etc? Far from it. Still the only phone officially running 4.0.4. Hardware is still current, and in some cases ahead of the curve. Engadget recently had a segment about how it's one of the best phones ever, if not THE best, even 4 months later.
