Droid RECALL?

If so, should someone notify Tom Selleck?]]>Jul 19th 2010 10:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/Jul 19th 2010 10:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/Jul 19th 2010 10:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/
Except the iPhone problem has been blown WAY out of proportion and has yet to proven to be affecting butt loads of iPhone OWNERS.

Meanwhile this screen issue is probably going to be a widespread problem just like the Evo's leaking screen catastrophe.

Droid doesn't...]]>Jul 19th 2010 10:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/Jul 19th 2010 10:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/
Common man, I love my iPhone 4 too, but the iPhones issue affects every caseless iPhone 4 thats in medium to low signal areas. Theres no use arguing against that. But at least that problem has a simple fix. This droid problem if widespread would be 1000 times worse than the iPhone 4 antennae issue]]>Jul 19th 2010 10:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/

The iPhone issue stems from the very DESIGN of the product. This issue is merely a MALFUNCTION of the product. One is the norm, one is not.

Get it through your fanboy head.]]>Jul 19th 2010 10:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/Jul 19th 2010 10:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/Jul 19th 2010 10:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/Jul 19th 2010 10:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/Jul 19th 2010 10:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/

There's a difference between defective units in a launch batch of phones vs designing a phone with the antenna wrapped around the outside where bare skin will bridge and short the signal. Oh and the antenna was marketed as a revolution in cell phone antennas. Fail. ]]>Jul 19th 2010 10:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/

I, among several people, consistently downrank your no-so-intellectual (shall i say nicely), however I do think this is a fair response to the issue.

But your claiming its not an issue before it gets a chance to be.

However, this is an issue that can easily be fixed by replacing your phone and will probably only effect .1% of phones. HOWEVER, the iPhones issue is a problem for 100% of there phones now and all phones made later as well.

So yeah, there is a big difference. ]]>Jul 19th 2010 10:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/
It's a problem equivalent to a dead pixel or a loose screw. iPhone's problem is systemic, due to the design.

It's really not that complicated.]]>Jul 19th 2010 10:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/Jul 19th 2010 10:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/Jul 19th 2010 11:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/You sound like a disgruntled VZW customer. btw..

Fanboys? ROFL. It seriously takes a laaarge amount of stupidity to somehow make yourselves believe that this problem is anything more than a loose screw (or equivalent malfunction).

It's called logic.

"Android has to be open so its geeky users can roam the Google forums for fixes to the crappy programming of their JAVA phone. I mean, once people buy an Android phone, they're on their own."

You're KIDDING me, right? I mean, really. Nobody on earth could possibly be this stupid. Let me go through your little list.

1) Java is one of the most popular and arguably easiest programming languages out there. It's also operating system independent and fast.

2) Forums exist for the iPhone, too, moron.

3) You're NOT on your own. You can take the phone back to Verizon if it's giving you trouble, just like you can take the iPhone back to AT&T or Apple.

Seriously? Stop being a moron, Fail Whale.]]>Jul 19th 2010 11:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/Now, iPhone recall :)]]>Jul 19th 2010 11:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/Jul 19th 2010 11:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/

I love Android yes, but I also think that WP7 is a great platform as well (potentially, but I'm not sure yet, I haven't started coding on it yet)

iPhone OS 4 is too close, I am against the company for their policies more than there products. ]]>Jul 19th 2010 11:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/Jul 19th 2010 11:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/
Google is open, manufacture modify it to their taste and release a product. The Manufacturers dont set up the phone to be re-re-coded, so you have to root it. However, if you wanted to make your own phone, the complete source code is available to the public. ]]>Jul 19th 2010 11:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/well there is a difference between ios123&4 and android... android is open as in .. even without root you can install applications that don't exist or are not allowed in the market.. try doing that on an iPhone without jailbreaking it]]>Jul 19th 2010 11:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/Jul 19th 2010 11:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/
Who cares I have an iPhone 4 it works better than another phone I've had. Plus if u look at YouTube the htc, nokia, blackberry, and many others have the same problem, and they don't get free cases so stop the grades n the crying just take ur iPhone back. Is funny how the people that cry the most don't even own an iPhone 4. ]]>Jul 19th 2010 11:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/Jul 19th 2010 11:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/
Not the same problem. You have to cup most phones to get the same effect (and thats due to the FCC downlooking on antennas that are on tops of phones due to YOUR BRAIN) but you literally have to have your hands all the way around it.

the iPhone you dont need to do that, you only need to merge the gap with a finger. This is a design flaw, not a design necessity. Big difference. ]]>Jul 19th 2010 11:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/some-droid-x-handsets-have-defective-screens-video/

"how do you explain java exceptions on Android pop-up boxes? If user has to see java stack trace on screen, then it's complete fail. Now see, who is moron?"

What do you mean, how do I explain it? Java runs into a problem and asks the user if they want to wait or close the program. Know what happens when the iPhone does something similar? The program just crashes. No waiting, no error message, just crash.

Now, really, "who IS moron"?]]>Jul 19th 2010 11:36PM
