During the first power up, did u have to sign in using a blur account? If so was it optional atleast?

i always by pass the first setup screen and enter data later... but there is a **** ton of blur on this thing cant wait for a rom to come out at least a clean rom.

How did you get your's so early?

I live in KS, and the sales clerk was shocked that I knew the Bionic was coming out tomorrow. I'll be ordering mine from Verizon online tonight, or as soon as they post it.

I actually ordered my Bionic from Verizonwireless.com this morning.. Too lazy to haul my cookies 40 minutes away to pick one up.. I'm pretty excited to see what it can do. I haven't gotten a new cellphone in 2 yrs - had the Droid Eris. Although I liked HTC, their hardware is suckish. My Eris was replaced 4 times due to multiple hardware malfunctions. I've always heard pretty good things about Motorola. Looking forward to seeing what the Bionic community will do with this phone!

How did you set it up? It won't work for me.

I'm having some difficulty locating a link to Pete's tool, could you please post a link to the version you have working? (I also want to make sure I've got a program that is known to work, and not accidentally download something bogus.) I'll be getting mine in about an hour or so.
EDIT: I think I finally found it: www_dot_psouza4_dot_com/Droid3/
(forum won't let me post links yet.) ...Please correct me if this isn't the same one you used, though!

Just got mine. Coming from an Eris. Worst part of the experience was sitting in the Verizon store for 2 hours waiting for the slow bionic activation process of customers ahead of me.
Been playing around with it for a bit, I like it so far. Can't wait for a root to get rid of all this bloatware. It's truly absurd how many useless apps they've installed that cannot be removed.

Yes I would like to know more about this so called screen issue. I'm picking mine up this evening. Is it really as bad as everyone says it is? I had the sensation for 30 days till I returned it (T-mobile sucks) and it had a beautiful screen.

Try visiting the store. I couldn't get the deal online. At the store, they didn't know it was going to be half off until checkout.

Bought mine about a half hour ago on the Verizon Website (at sale price).
It showed full price until I went to checkout, then gave me the sale price...

Definitely just picked on of these up. Thanks for the heads up! Discount was applied once my item was in the cart at checkout. Great buy!!

Stop in the stores and they said it was going on through october 30th. At least that's what the stores said in Columbus Ohio

Try logging out of your Verizon account. If you have a corporate discount already, for some odd reason, that overrides VZW's generic discount.

I still don't see anything past a 25% discount. Very strange. I have tried 2 computers, clearing cookies, logging in and out and I still don't see it. Maybe they do it by area? I am in Philadelphia. I'm going to try the store tomorrow.

yeah i did not know about this deal, until i went to my buddies verizon store he is a manager and told me it was %50 off he also lets me use his discount on other items. which i did not know he did
but this battery is **HUGE** its 2 of the nomal size batteries put togather, we'll thats what i think anyways. i got to buy a whole new case.
but the overall the battery is worth it. it last alot longer. my nomal battery maybe lasted me 6 hours. now i get between 12-16 hours or more. depending on my usage.

Just ordered mine. Can't wait!

They still have the buy three get 25% off too
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App

Log completely out of your account and search for the item through google. Check for "Verizon DROID bionic extended battery".
Once you find it the proper listing in google (verizonwireless site) go to it and try to buy it. Keep going all the way through until checkout. Then only login when it asks you.
That worked when I ordered some accessories for my x2.

just ordered a second one just now for 24.99 off the website. it didnt give me my discount till checkout. i paid 49.99 for my first one but that was on the day the bionic came out.

How does this help us considering the bootloader is still locked?

Because this will help in unlocking the bootloader.

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.

Okay, once and for all, this is the BIONIC forum, if youre so excited for the galaxy nexus, go talk about it in a place where its appropriate. Dont come in here and tell us how the GN is sooooooo much better than the bionic.

Droid RAZR MAXX

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

[Q ] Rezound to Bionic.

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 .

Probably stick with the Rezound, only phone I'd ditch my Rezound for currently is the Maxx.

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

I web surf on my phone daily without issue. I would not say what you experienced is common for other users.
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.
