http://androidforums.com – First let me apologize for being an absolute moron. With that out of the way... let me try to recap my idiocy. I bought a Bionic through eBay and have owned it for a total of 1 day and already bricked it. Basically.. it had 5.5.893 (I know it was 893), seemed great for the 10 minutes I actually tooled around it (after getting Verizon to put in a new Sim card and activate it and such). So.. I had not yet even applied a gmail primary account or set anything up on the phone, and I got an update notice that .902 had been downloaded and would install, and was getting the message every hour.

General Upgrade to Bionic? 1 year 13 weeks ago

Ok, I have a coworker that has a Bionic and the lapdock she's selling for $200. I've already checked and the ESN/IMEI is good. The condition looks to be good as well so no issues there.

My question is, will I see a big performance jump between the Bionic and my Droid X (rooted, rom'd, wifi tether)? Or should I just wait until I'm due for my Verizon upgrade which is in October?

Hi all, I have a question. My wife had the Droid Bionic. It stopped working so Verizon sent her a replacement phone. Instead of sending her another Bionic they sent her a Note 2, that had to of been a mistake but I'll take it. She really likes my Note 2 so she was pretty happy. It of course didn't come with battery, back, S pen or SIM card. If i buy a SIM card and the other items will it work ok?

Where to next??? 9 weeks 23 hours ago

With I imagine the majority of the Bionic owners having bought their Bionic at launch (as Moto dropped a few phones about a month later), most of us will be up for the phone upgrade within the next 6 weeks or so.

So where are you going next?

I just bought a Bionic on ebay (caught up in auction fever:o) and the reviews I read seemed good. So now I'm wanting to know any common major problems I shoud be aware of and I know you guys know your phones!

Thanks in advance!

bought a galaxy S3 for AT&T off ebay. just arrived today. the phone powers on but, i cant access wifi, settings or apps... also no usb support. is this phone in some kind of a store demo mode or is it bricked? i thought if a phone was bricked, it will not cut on at all. i have a feeling i'm going to have to raise hell with ebay and paypal.

BRICKED!!!! Warp Sequent 2 weeks 2 days ago

I just started this thread for anyone that has bricked one of these things, whether it was a soft brick or a hard brick. I went bought another phone minutes after I bricked this one, but I/m still determined to fix this one. I have no recovery, No ftm, No OS, PC doesn't recognize it "unknown decice" , SDK has nothing.

On my Bionic, when I reply to a message, the reply ends up in the inbox, why is this happening? It doesn't do this if I look at my thunderbird or webmail versions of the account, only on my Bionic. Any way I can get that to stop?

I want to unlock my Droid Bionic that is on the verizon network so that it can be used with Straight Talk.

What is the best way to do this?

Is there a website that can help?

Thanks in Advance!
