How does this help us considering the bootloader is still locked?
Because this will help in unlocking the bootloader.

I'm guessing the next Bionic update will unlock it and it will be EOL for this device since the RAZR is coming tomorrow.

That wouldnt make any sense from a business perspective, they would be effectively ending the bionic's life before they've even earned back the R&D costs, and that they had to have been developing the RAZR before the bionic released, so it wouldnt make any sense to release the bionic, only to release the RAZR later. besides, it was ANNOUNCED today, far too many people neglect the difference between announced, and released. The bionic was announced in January at CES, it launched 8 months later...

just so everyone knows, the RAZR was officially announced today. pre-orders start on Oct. 27th, and the phone will be available on Nov. 3rd
of course who would want that phone with a non-removable battery anyway. ppffftt!!
I couldnt do an non-removable battery, really think id break it somehow... and that kevlar, wouldnt help

True, hard resets wouldnt be nearly as simple. Ahah
Well, the Bionic is nearing EOL in a way. It will no longer be sold in stores.
Not sure the what or why, but that's what's up.

i knew the bionic was not the device to get. Galaxy Nexus is the new king of the hill. I'm done with moto devices until a real googlorola phone comes out. Not the half baked crap like bionic or razr.

Yup. Went into a Verizon store last week to buy a case, no Bionic in sight. Look, I'm not poking fun at the article but it just doesn't make any sense to me. Last night while I watched my Jets kick the crap out of Miami I saw 2 bionic commercials. They've invested way too much time and money to pull the plug.

they had 2 Bionic's on display ay my store & no more. I was just at a Radio Shack right now to and they did not have the Bionic on display either. I asked about it and they said they took it down and wont be carrying it anymore(but did not know why). They did mention the RAZR though & pre-orders starting on the 27th.
[EDIT]: I just went into Best Buy Mobile(yes I am in a mall) and they did still have the Bionic on display. They aren't aware of it being discontinued but also did not know anything about the RAZR nor did they know the RAZR exsists......
Hmm..here's a way of thinking...
They will be taking away the bionic from all sales locations after only a short period of sales.
They will start releasing all kinds of new and better phones...
Then out of nowhere....
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL BIONIC OWNERS!
The Bionic was being held back by a secret development group and has THIS THIS and THIS features that NO OTHER PHONE HAS AND NEVER WILL HAVE!
(see here to get these features installed onto your bionic)
This was being secretly planned from the time the bionic was even first created.
So another congrats to all of you who purchased the Bionic which was part of our secret test program that nobody knew about!
They better be giving us free early upgrades.
Or
Unlock bootloader since they won't be carrying it if this was the reason.
This would be the shortest Droid run ever. Well Droid Eris?

Right there is a tip that the Droid Bionic has proven to be in such high demand that Verizon can't keep enough of a supply in their own stores.
Granted, you may get lucky and find a Best Buy, Walmart, or Radio Shack that has a few laying around. This news incident is ONLY for Verizon retail outlets.

Did you even read the thread?
At what point did anyone even claim the device to be faulty? Read over the thread. Nothing is wrong with the bionic and there is no reason to believe it is being dropped already.
Just wanted to know what you guys think about the phone. I have my bionic but man the RAZR MAXX is pretty awesome to me for the battery life. Im thinking of getting that over the nexus. What do you guys think?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA Premium App
I do like it but its not enough of an upgrade. I'll wait until Motorola puts out something with a slightly larger HD screen, no buttons and ICS.

I would like to own the razr maxx. I think it has Li-Po battery right? Like the IPhones
Plus an over 3000 mAh battery.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I like it, but not enough to get it over the Galaxy Nexus. A locked bootloader is a locked bootloader and blur sucks. It also does not even have ICS, so don't hold your breath.
I just unloaded my nexus and am back to the bionic...with a rooted 901 it's not a bad phone. But that maxx would be killer for someone who doesn't like to worry about finding a charger. But as stated it really is more of a side step I think.
im sure it will get ics though. when it gets that ill compare it to the nexus
A better battery is always a plus, but I don't have many issues with my battery on the Bionic due to the fact that I charge it throughout the day (at my PC, in the car, before I sleep) and I use JuiceDefender.
I'm not sure how much better battery the MAXX has over the Bionic, but that definitely doesn't feel like much of an upgrade to me, either.
For 12 bucks I can buy a 3rd battery for my Bionic. Other then the lack of updates and rims for my bionic I love it. Oh yeah I can replace my battery the main reason I don't want an i phone from the get go. The bionic is still a beast.
the only good thing about the Maxx (aside from battery) is that itll make the original Droid Razr's price go down. I went to verizon and played with the galaxy nexus. While I love that its a Nexus device, the performance was identical to my rom'ed bionic so I might consider grabbing the Razr if the price is right
Not another one of these posts. Didn't we all go through this when the Razr was about to come out? Is this going to be a regular thing every time a new phone is announced?

I agree
So I recently shattered the screen on my Rezound
Thinking of getting a Bionic since Big Red has them for free. What do you guys think of the Bionic? Is development going strong? And do ICS ROMs exist? Are they stable enough to be a daily driver? Any input is welcomed
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2
If your warranty allows it, get another Rezound.
Development is not that active. Eclipse is the only active Gingerbread-base ROM available. Team Gummy & Hive Dev are doing ICS ROMs but since the locked bootloader of the Bionic prevents kernel changes, ICS is not 100% functional.
Well I have insurance on my Rezound but I don't have the $99 for the insurance claim and I have an upgrade on my plan now. Anything is better than the DX I'm using right now haha

I agree. I have the Bionic and my wife has the Rezound. I feel like I got the short end of the stick here.
You're better off to stay with the X and save up the insurance deductible, IMHO.
That being said, the Bionic ICS ROMs are nice, but they all have the silly camera issues. Those might not be resolved until an official Moto ICS is released. You can take pictures using the cameras, but no video, and no barcode scanners, etc.
Eclipse is a nice Gingerbread ROM. It's what I'm running now.
What if I could have both? Haha the upgrade is my moms, so it won't add time to my line. And later I can send the Rezound in to the insurance and get it fixed. Then I will have both. I don't see the downside in trading this DX for a Bionic for free. Because I cannot stand this phone after having my Rezound.

I will chime in here and tell you im currently on my third bionic in a week and number 4 will be delivered tomorrow. I would STAY AWAY from this phone. If you do any web surfing from your phone you will have issues with this one. The bionic is known for data drop issues . But if you dont plan on using this phone for anything other then developement i would wait on the rezound .

Personally I'm a big fan of the Bionic. I got mine on release day last September and haven't had any major problems in all that time. I'm rooted and stock, with about 45 bloatware apps frozen. Each time there's an update I just unfreeze, update and refreeze with TiBu. Works great. If you don't want to spend the money for another Rezound I say go for it.
Unfortunately this is no longer an option for me. My girlfriend decided it would be a good idea to dump gatorade on her uninsured Rhyme. So now the upgrade will be going to her. Looks like I'll just have to bite the bullet and make an insurance claim

Maybe you need to take a phone 101 class, or buy from a different seller.

Lol phone 101 class? ?? I get my phones from Verizon . I cant help the data drop issues ( which is a KNOWN issue with this phone ) do a google search on the data drops and you will clearly see its not just me. If it dont bother you that the data drops off multiple times a day and you are used to sub par performance and you dont mind paying for data droppage thats you but I personally want my phone to work . The 905 update is rolling out to try and fix the DATA DROP ISSUE. There you have your first phone 101 lesson.

I imagine soak tests are part of the roll out process ... so I guess someone, on December 31st, will get a test version to soak. Done, roll out process starts Q4.
I would expect closer to end of the year versus early October.
I've given up and have flashed back to 905... I wanted a last bit of speed and stability for a short while yet before the ota comes. I've had it wih ics 232. I couldn't stand the incredible lag across the board, but especially in the stock email client. I truly hope they've optimized speed and efficiency in 244+.
I've gone to the .232 leak for the first time because of this announcement. I doubt it will be out in early Q4, but I hope I am wrong. However, I am loving this leak! Not experiencing anymore lag than before and absolutely no data drops so far.
I may finally stop waiting and go for .232.
Ah, yes. But have you read what Punit Soni said about all of this nonsense?

I have owned a ton of phones over the last 5 years. Apple is probably the best quality, but IOS blows. After the for quality Motorola is the best choice IMO.
They may have dropped the ball with the previous Atrix models, I work for AT&T and the Motorla spokesperson guy came in to review the Atrix HD with us, picking one up myself today probably, said they're rolling out Jellybean for it soon...Wether that means this year, or 2 years from now, who knows...but he said they WILL be updating it.

If they get this out soon it will be awesome, but if a dev pushes out a less bloated version, it will be amazing!! Either way the root is out and good things are to come for the AHD. So glad i didn't get a one x or a gs3!!!!:laugh:
