Droid 4 internal battery swap possibility?

Ehh I would only consider doing a mod like this after a year since peeling the sticker voids the warranty..

For me, the question that keeps coming back is, 'WHY?!!'

What could be the reason that vzw demanded Moto put us through all these absurd gyrations?

It's not, as it's always supposed to be, about the money. The plastic bag hybrid battery costs more.

It appears that some vzw genius thinks that the best way to compete with Apple in this maverick Android market is to force us to buy Android phones that are more and more like iPhones.

Brilliant!

There are still folks out there that think Android style. Mozilla is about to out-Android Google:

I can't wait!

What I want to know is where you get this idea that VZW is behind the non-removeable battery? Moto designs the phone, then shops it to carriers, either they bite or they dont.

 

Nah. No manufacturer makes anything without an eye to the market. Many, if not most, produce to fill customer orders.

In this case, it is well-known, for example, that Moto makes global phones and that vzw then demands that the GSM capabilities be disabled -- like with the D4.

The 'RAZR' concept is all vzw, not Moto. The Lady in Red, like Lola, gets what she wants. And it was her addictive mania for cellular anorexia that demanded the expensive, inconvenient, potentially dangerous, and altogether unnecessary polymer hybrid battery-in-a-bag.

Thats a great story. Got any evidence to back it?

 

That os has nothing to it if that is really what Firefox os really looks like

A Singer who can "sound like the stars" (e.g. Billy Voltaire) is a lounge rat. You need to differentiate to reach the top.

No Moto patent. It's the same battery tech used in iPhones.

What I'd really like to see is a std Lithium hard metal case extended battery that would fit the D4. So, it'll be a major brick in my pocket -- it'll be a much more useful brick!

Nope. Totally different concept. More along the lines of Chrome OS.

Don't be too quick to count Mozilla out. The Firefox browser beat out IE when MS had 90% of the market. Firefox, of course, is a browser and not an operating system.

Btw FF11 browser out March 13 does have Flash support.
