Touchscreen devices in general can act weird while plugged in and charging, IF the charger or USB cord is defective. A “noisy” power source can interfere with the capacitive touch sensor’s ability to sense touch.

My OG Droid’s charger developed a problem at some point, and the touch screen went crazy when you plugged it in. It would dial people at random and launch apps. I even had it trying (very poorly I may add) to play Angry Birds by itself *LOL*

Actually, they wouldn’t need to push out bugfixes if they put all of their resources towards getting ICS working. The issue is that they take so damn long to “Blurify” the OS that they need to appease folks in the meantime. ICS is most likely going to be a full OS install, so there would be no need to incrementally patch GB first. At least I HOPE ICS is a full OS install, to try and do an incremental update for a major version change is only asking for disaster.

Of course, a full OS install could bring about a whole slew of new bugs. So, for those folks who are overly anxious for ICS, ask yourself this. “Am I happy with my phone right now?” because if so, you may not be so happy once ICS comes out (until they’ve had time to release a couple of bugfixes for it). I doubt it is going to be smooth sailing right from the get-go.

I’ve owned an iphone4 for 15 months, still own it, so I can give a pretty damn good unbiased comparison as I MOVED to android

if anything it is highly UNDERRATED

then you need to replace it because I never get reboots ever.. I’ve had one or two over 5 months while in the maps app, but haven’t seen that for a long time so must have been an update.. all I can say is I have no probs with auto brightness and rebooting, so that should tell you either your hardware is defective, or some app you have is defective

I guess I must have a junk Bionic, cause even with all the updates, data still sucks on it… guess I need to go in and complain… wish I could trade it for Razor MAXX

Agreed. Which is the reason i belive we all LOVE android being open source. It is something to brag about when you have a variety of verry different ROMs to install on your phone with a little know how. Where as you buy an Iphone, you get what you get. Been running Eclipse 2.2 for a while, can’t belive anyone wouldn’t want this as their operating system over MOTOBLUR. It makes way more sense to me, and is just faster, battery lasts longer, everything is smoother, just a great ROM for anyone to try. I tried liberty 3 first, I found it too glitchy, maybee it was just me. If i could unlock the bootloader to my bionic……THEN WHAT???? i still have the same $h!t as i have now with my bionic…huh….and yes i bought my bionic for 300 dollars when they first came out. Wish i waited

I threw the Motorola 2800 MAh extended on mine and a TPU case that fits, pulls through a day and a half or so (which is great because I always forget to charge it.)

No, not trolling…I think your first sentence refers to the Nexus…I have had over a dozen reboots since launch day. The screen gets briefly brighter and then reboots. It hasn’t much of an issue, but it still exists. I’m not going to hide that just because I like my GNex.

My bionic had all sorts of issues and the next one they gave me had almost all the same issues. At least your friend isn’t experiencing any of those issues and I hope he never does. It made me want to destroy the stupid thing and ensured that Motorola will have to impress me way more than HTC, Samsung, or LG for me to recommend them or buy from them.

As Keith says, the radios seem to be weaker in the Nexus. I get a consistent signal and good connection on my Nexus, but it is slightly less than my Bionics reported (when they were working). I’m glad to hear that they worked out the data problems on the Bionic.

I’m extremely happy I left the Bionic. We all have different experiences. My two Bionics were the worst phones I’ve had, my one Nexus has been great. You seem to have has 3 terrible Nexi and good experiences with the Bionic.
