What are the customization options without rooting the phone. If someone could just tell me what I can do and you dont necessarily need to break it down how to do it. But what can I do in terms of background, icons, sounds, etc.

Thanks in advance as I know this is a novice post.

The majority of the docks, icons, apps, widgets, etc. that you see in this post can be done without rooting. You can do almost anything (within reason) without being rooted. Once rooted though, you can do anything (F REASON!). Xda-developers.com is the best place to get started, IMO. Every thing you need can be found there ...

So, that lovely 4.3-inch LTE smartphone with Android for Verizon we've been calling the Mecha and the Droid Incredible HD? Looks like it might come to market as the Thunderbolt, so says Droid Life -- and we tend to put some weight on the rumor considering that they've just run twelve leaked shots of the thing. As you can see, this is clearly Verizon's head-on answer to the EVO 4G, featuring similar stylings and, in all likelihood, an LTE modem swapped in for the EVO's WiMAX one. Sure looks like that "controlled" leak from a few days back, doesn't it? More on this at Verizon's press conference next week, we presume.

tempting

WHEN!!

Somebody please help me. When I plug my phone in to the USB connected to my computer it charges but does not register on "My Computer"

I can find it using my device manager but it will not show in "Devices with Removable Storage" I'm trying to bring on wallpapers and just have it connect to my computer.

Any ideas on what to do?

Thank you.

The Thunderbolt looks skinner than the Evo too but damn, couldn't give it a different look? Looks pretty identical to the Evo.

When I looked at usage it said, "cell standby 32%........phone idle 21%" etc



so is that normal? I thought Android was smart in the sense that it shut everything down as its not being used.

I just find it fascinating that a phone just sitting on a desk can use 60% of the battery in 8 hours.

Help? Clarifications?

I agree.  The preferred form factors don't really lend themselves to a lot of different design schemes. 

 

[JayDean03]

^ idk bout that, what kinda battery did you get and did you get better battery life with your OG battery?
