In the meantime Apple again tops the JD Power’s Customer Satisfaction Study, Apple scores 800 points.

For the fourth consecutive year, Apple ranks top of the JD Power’s U.S. Wireless Smartphone Customer Satisfaction study. Apple along with a number of alluring gadgets has really done magic for its customers. The California-based iPhone maker earned 800 points out of maximum 1000 to top the list.

The customer satisfaction study, which was held among 6,821 smartphone users, unearthed that Apple’s products have much satisfied its customers than any other companies. Actually Apple’s topping of the customer satisfaction list is not at all a surprise. Because, the company has largely made an impact among people with a range of highly-advanced devices.

However, this year, Apple’s score has dropped 11 points from last year’s. In the previous year, Apple had 811 points to rank top. But this time the company could score 800 only. It is analyzed that Apple iPhone 4’s antenna and signal reception defects have made the blowback.

After Apple, Motorola finished second and HTC third. Motorola and HTC, famous manufacturers of leading Android smartphones scored 791 and 781 apiece. The industry average is 754. It means that along with Apple, HTC and Motorola have surpassed the industry average. RIM, maker of BlackBerry phones finished third with 737 points. Samsung, Palm and Nokia continued the rank list.

In another aspect of the study, it is revealed that number of Americans, who hold on their current phones, is increasing. A 17 percent growth is witnessed from last year’s measure in this regard. Truly there are several factors that will boos this tendency. Two-year’s tough cellular contracts, advanced new phones and even financial slowdown might have propelled people not to occasionally go to purchase a new phone, the study said.

How to get root on your Droid X:

This must be performed on a clean 604 (2.1 Stock) phone!

Download the Root Files First – HERE

Written by Birdman Published by RootzWiki

(Run means type the command in quotes [but not the quotes] then press the Enter key)

1. Download the attached archive and expand it to a folder you can find (eg. c:\DroidXRoot_v2) (Archive at the bottom of this post)
2. Set up ADB (Step-by-step guide for Windows Vista/7 HERE. <– USE THAT THREAD FOR ADB SUPPORT PLEASE.)
3. On the phone: Home, Menu Button, Settings, Applications, Development: Make sure the “USB debugging” option is enabled/checked.
4. Status bar, USB connection: Make sure “PC Mode” is selected.
5. Open a command prompt (Windows: Start, Run, “cmd”, OK; Linux: Terminal)
6. Run “adb devices“. If you don’t see your device listed under “List of devices attached”, return to step 2 and follow the link to setup ADB (use that topic for support) and return here when “adb devices” lists your X.
7. Run “CD c:\DroidXRoot” (or where ever you expanded the archive)
8. Run “adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk“
9. Run “adb push su /sdcard/su“
10. Run “adb push busybox /sdcard/busybox“
11. Run “adb push exploid /sql*“
12. Run “adb shell“
13. Run “cd /sql*“
14. Run “chmod 755 exploid“
15. On your phone, navigate to a screen where you can switch wifi/bluetooth on/off easily (settings, or a home screen with a widget)
16. Run “./exploid” and follow directions on screen. Once this completes you’ll be back at a shell prompt.
17. Turn your phone’s bluetooth off and on (or on and off)
18. Run “rootshell“. You’ll be prompted for a password.
19. Type in password “secretlol” and press Enter then you are root! (You’ll know because your prompt will now be a “#” instead of “$”)
20. Run “cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk“
21. Run “cp /sdcard/su /system/xbin/su“
22. Run “cp /sdcard/busybox /system/xbin/busybox“
23. Run “chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su“
24. Run “chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox“
25. Run “rm /system/bin/rootshell“
26. Run “reboot“

Your done! Wait for your phone to turn back on and you’ll have full root access. You can now install 2.2 if you wish. Follow steps 5 and 6 in the guide below.

The statement came in the company’s official message forum, where user Matt explained:

Some Droid X users are experiencing an issue using Exchange 2003 email. Though the email is arriving on the Droid X, no notifications are appearing. A fix for this will be included in the upgrade to Android 2.2 scheduled for deployment by early September.

Ok now we think that the custom Froyo is a good idea

Posted under Droid X Hacks, Droid X News, Droid X Updates

Now Motorola says that Froyo will be out late August but now is September … Dont play with us motorola users have downloaded the custom Droid X Froyo and Motorola goes legal after the custom Froyo …

Do we realy need to download the custom Froyo ?
We posted a article how to install and run Froyo on your Droid X … We waited so long and the Android guys dont say anything about it, some say it will be out tommorow some say after 2-3 days. If you dont have the nervs to wait install the custom Froyo BUT ONLY IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING … if you dont know and think you will learn please dont do it ….

1. Root Your Droid X

Download from here: DroidXRoot.zip

This is a GUI program to root/unroot your DroidX phone. No Android SDK install required. All drivers are installed if needed.
Just two buttons, ROOT and UNROOT! Follow the instructions on the screen and you’ll be rooted in a matter of seconds!

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE USB DEBUGGING ENABLED UNDER System > Applications > Development ON YOUR PHONE!
EDIT: If it doesn’t root and you are turning Bluetooth on and off, try turning WiFi on/off instead!

Microsoft Windows only. You need the .NET 3.5 Framework but Vista and Windows 7 already come with the framework.
Enjoy!

YOU MUST EXTRACT ALL OF THE FOLDERS, ETC. THEN RUN! OTHERWISE IT WON’T WORK.
RIGHT CLICK AND RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR

Edit: Windows XP, Mac OSX and Ubuntu Linux Support Coming Soon

Edit: MediaFire link for those w/o an account. (edit by rainabba: we’ve opened downloads to guests!)

Edit: Still give props to Birdman and the rest of the community. This is simply putting their work (with some modifications to exploid) to use.
Edit: I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. Please use at your own risk.
At the moment, rootshell is left on the device for easy unrooting. It is modified so that only my program may use it, however, if someone does
figure out away around using rootshell, I am not held responsible. This feature will be replaced with using su in the next release!

Edit:
Warning: Apparently if some /system/app .apks are missing when you try to update, the update will fail. Please do not remove /system/app .apk
unless you have backed your phone up (I made this mistake with the original root =[ haha). Next version will automatically backup for /system/app folder to your /sdcard/. I’ll try to post a working backup folder for those who didn’t back it up.

** Required for .604 update **

• CityID
• CarDock
• Blockbuster
• Mobile 3G Hotspot
• Visual Voicemail

Screen Shot:

2. Upgrade to Froyo 2.2

Download the update from here: update.zip

Must be rooted and have the .604 update

Check if you have .604 update (goto settings … about phone…. you should see 1.13….604 under system version)

Root your device with the 1-click root method

Apply Froyo 2.2 Update

1. Run “adb shell” (you can use root explorer or terminal)

2. Run “mount -o rw,remount/dev/block/system/system”

3. Run “mv/system/bin/su/system/xbin/su”

4. Copy Update.zip to your SD Card

5. Reboot into recovery (power down hold volume down and home button and press the power button)

6. Run update.zip

7. After completed reboot
