Is there a BIG difference between AMOLED and standard screens? I would like to go to T-Mobile, and then see the difference between two devices. Which is a good T-Mobile device that doesn't has AMOLED?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mavictb:
I will say it again... the sgs4g is the best untill the HTC pyramid comes out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rafarataneneces:
What about the lack of flash in the camera plus the limited RAM and the slow CPU?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mavictb:
im pretty sure the htc will kick the G2x's ass if it had one... just sayin.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] golmar88:
1,3,4,5 = Fixed with new rom's.

2= Have you tried taking pictures with "night mode"? I would (and have) put this camera up against any camera phone w/flash any day (or night :D ).

And yes, IMHO, the screen is a huge improvement over similar phones. I held mine next to a mtg4g, HD7 and a g2, no comparison. Now idk about the newer phones.

I loved my Vibrant, and the sgs4g has everything I wished the Vibrant had ( -Bionix)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rafarataneneces:
The G2X has 4.0 Inches, WVGA 16M Colors, TFT Capacitive Touchscreen I will go to T-Mobile and Verizon today and compare my phone with the other phones, see if I can see a big difference or not

Night mode sucks let's not be fanatics now, no flash = BAD PICTURES There is a reason why flash was invented there is no workaround for that

So let's keep this a matter of facts Flash is better than No Flash That's a fact
[T-Mobile LG G2x] golmar88:
Let me know what you find out. I'm kinda curious too.

We have seriously taken pictures with a phone with flash (iphone 4) and this one on night mode and this one was clearer. now once you get to total darkness you've got a point.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rafarataneneces:
Yeah, go to a restaurant at 10 PM You'll get a dark, blurry picture And it takes a minute or two to explain to the guy taking the picture that he needs to press the camera icon, keep it pressed, and when the autofocus thing goes on, he should unpress the button

It took me a while to figure that one out so they move the camera because they have no idea why it's not working, and the photos come out blurry for me it will be better if you

1) just press the camera icon

2) camera does it's thing

3) picture gets taken

Plus night mode you have to configure it every single f**ckin@ time if you take a picture at 8:51PM, you have to enable night mode if you take another picture at 8:55 PM, you have to launch camera again, and re-enable night mode again What a pain in the royal arse :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wease:
I agree, Totally F*CKIN annoying
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Success100:
HUGE difference. There's no comparison between lcd and amoled. Big enough where as long as I'm given a choice between lcd and amoled...I will not be purchasing anything else with an lcd. Not even SuperLcd can compete. Now this is all a matter of opinion but for me its a big enough factor in deciding on a new phone..even if there are next gen devices coming

And only the vibrant and galaxy4g have super amoled on tmobile. All others are lcd. I'm not saying lcd displays suck but to me amoled is amazing

1) Bloat - Use Titanium Backup

2) no camera flash - 8 out of 10 people dont use a phone as a camera to capture the moment. I'm sorry you are one of the 2 persons that do intend of using a phone as a camera to capture the special moment. ;)

3) little RAM - I'm sure one of the many dev.s or group of dev will make some magic.

4) only 180 MB of internal memory - Same answer as number 3, and i'm sure Apps2SD could get you a bit more internal memory.

5) no custom kernels yet - You kinda answer this question yourself. Not now, but I bet once Big K (krylon360 i hope you dont mind if i call you that i mean no disrespect) get that SGS4G he can start a Big Bang of great things to come for us SGS4G owners.

Now i have a question to you rafarataneneces do you own a SGS4G or just here on our turf to start a riot?

And if you do own a SGS4G why did you buy it?

And on a side note for anyone that will throw at my face that I said that i was on the G2x bandwagon yes i was and ill admit it am i bi-polar? NO im bi-winning (Sorry i had to use that line... lol :p ) I got off the bandwagon when i did my own research on the LG Optimus 2x and saw and read reviews that say it really was more of a novelty that it had 2x cores and could not notice the difference, also was a big time let down that the HDMI output even at 1080p didnt look like it was 1080p.

But hey if you are going to the G2x good luck I hear those guys really need it with some of the issues the LG Optimus 2x has. Oh and have fun with that WVGA screen, i hear if you squint your eyes the G2x screen make images 3D like the 3DS ;) :p ...

PS

Us SGS4G owners will still be here and enjoying that nice Super AMOLED screen :D oh and the power of a 1GHz Hummingbird CPU with PowerVR SGX 540 graphics, 512MB RAM, WiFi b / g / n, Bluetooh 3.0, AGPS.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] icy56:
You also forgot to mention how much faster the battery dies compared how fast the phone is
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Yogi3:
Are you talking about the LG G2x?

Because on my SGS4G my battery last me all day unless I play "Angry Birds" for 3 hours and play music for 5 hours and surf the web for 3 hours and text for a good 4 hours...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] icy56:
Yeah i was talking about the g2x, i was looking around the 2x forum.and there were way too naby complaints on the battery
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Yogi3:
Oh yea I saw that also on that side of the world known as the G2x ... 2x faster you'll battery will drain.

.. lol...

Also I'm surprise that that one guy didn't answer my questions... I knew he was just here to start a riot...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MvP77:
I posted that to point out what I been reading about the 2 versions of the G2X. While the reviews for the European version with LG skin have not been to good. Tmo version with stock has been well received.

Also even though froyo doesn't support duel cores , ice cream will and you wont have to worry bout LG updates because cyanogen said he will be supporting it along with Paul O'Brien

I change phones 3 - 4 times a year. The ones I really like I hold on to (HD2, MT4G.) I wish I would've kept my vibrant and the only reason I sold it because I thought the gs4g was the same phone with 4G. I know, my bad. Should of researched it better.

I'm sure development will pick up on this phone and it will be just like the vibrant but for me not having the internal memory like the vibrant was a deal breaker for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Yogi3:
Not to be a butt hole but what make you think that LG will give the G2x 3 updates ( gingerbread, honeycomb, and then ice cream) ?

Only way I would of gotten the G2x now would be if it had Gingerbread from the get go... that would of made me overlook the battery and maybe the screen (yes I know I said we had the best screen but I'm being bias here the have better screen if the are outdoors than us ill give them that...)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MvP77:
I never said LG will. Out of all the phones in my sig I have never got an update from manufacturer/ carrier. So it doesn't matter to me if LG does. What I said was it will be heavily supported by cyonogen team and is already supported by Paul O'Brien.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Yogi3:
I know you didn't said those exact words, what I was getting at was that developers like those here on XDA are great but only the manufacturer IMO really would know in a short time how to take advantage of those 2 cores faster than us guys... And again I mean no disrespect to any one developer or team of developers... I also say that cause we got to face it big companies have more time and more resources than us folks and again I'm not being disrespectful to anyone... but on a side note from what I've read the 1st version of Android that will take full advantage is Ice Cream (point given to you sir because you also read the same info) cause even Honeycomb is just not taking full advantage of the 2x cores devices like the XOOM being powers by the same Tegra 2 the LG has (I read a review and saw a video review of the XOOM and both editors same something along those lines)... and like you said and I agree with what you said about Ice Cream that will be the 1st time really when will know what a 2x core phone can do my guess is by mid October or mid November will see the 1st demos of Ice Cream... but the neat phones that will show true muscle will be early next year when Nvidia should be producing what is now being code made the Stark chip... that puppy is going to be 4x cores... but before all that I do hope to get a SGS 2... (last part was a bunch of rant from me sorry...)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MvP77:
Your right bout the Devs here, they only have limited resources and time, but from my experience they are still better than the manufactures lol.

I just returned my Xoom Friday, and besides a couple games i dont see what the hype is about for Tegra 2. Its poor at video (unless hardware assited like the G2x is, DiXv certified) and it seemed no faster than any current phone I used.

My main reason for wanting a G2x is the 8gb internal memory. I was spoiled by the Vibrants 16gb internal and now i miss having that much room.

I kinda wanna wait for the GS2 myself , just because nothing beats sammys screens (not even the retina display on my ipod touch 4.) I swtch phones alot, so even if i get the G2x im pretty sure by sept/oct I will be eying my next phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Irishdoom:
Hi all, this is my first post here, so be gentle. :)

I have been in the market for my first Smartphone, and I HAD decided on the G2X, and was planning on ordering it as soon as I could. Before I landed on the G2X, one phone I had considered was the Galaxy S 4G.

Well, Tuesday night I checked out T-Mo's site, just because I had been checking it like an addict waiting for the G2X, when I saw they were offering the SGS4G for FREE on contract. At the same time, they were also offering the MyTouch4G for FREE as well, which was the phone I was going to get for the wife.

Well, I pulled the trigger, and the phones should be arriving this afternoon.

While I'm excited, I understand I could potentially exchange the SGS4G for the G2X if I wanted to.

So, what would you do? :) Should the SGS4G be plenty of phone for the next 2 years? Though it's my first Smartphone, I am tech savvy and USUALLY an early adopter type. Part of the reason I was going to get the G2X was to try to future proof myself a bit more, with a dual core AND the vanilla/stock android experience.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nrfitchett4:
you can't beat free. Ordered one for my wife as well. Curious about the htc sensation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pablo1215:
I've got both a nexus s and g2x right now and recently before that a mytouch 4g and samsung vibrant so I've used them all recently. I must say the G2x battery for me hasnt been as bad as my nexus (running cm7 not overclocked). Not much better either though but still lasts the day but barely. The screen and video are quite comparable actually. I thought I would never use a non super AMOLED screen like many others but this screen is adequate not overly impressive but getting the job done. The camera on it does beat all my previous phones so far. In my experience the vibrant had the best camera except at night of course (there's only so much night mode can help with). This is slightly better picture quality and colors but not much. It is faster and almost everything but naturally not everything is dual core optimized but oh well price of early adopter. The Galaxy s 4g still gets faster speeds because its rated at 21mbps not the 14.4 the 2x has. Still not much difference there but the best part is the 2x like the vibrant and mt4g has over 1g for apps that really turned me off from the gs4g. Sorry apps2sd is something I thought I was done with when I got rid of the nexus one. Im sure the 2x will get gingerbread either from the devs (cm7) or LG in the coming months but this phone is fine without it right now. I don't think any phone will get honeycomb if I've read right they will probably jump to ice cream and combine the two on phones. Obviously I go through phones quite frequently so if you have a mt4g or a vibrant I wouldn't say its worth paying full price for the 2x but definitely better phone over all so people please stop saying your vibrant or mt4g is better really it's old hardware and you have to do a ton to have it keep up but the same will be available for this phone soon and by that point the Sensation will be out or the Galaxy S 2 will be here and we will have that same argument. Ahhh the circle of life....oh well just my thoughts on the phones.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I agree. From what I've read, Honeycomb = tablets only. Phones will go from Gingerbread to Ice Cream.

I currently have a Nexus One and love the Amoled screen but seeing the G2x's screen really looks better then the Galaxy line. It has the same IPS screen that the iPhone 4 has (LG makes the IPS screen). Looking at several comparison videos even show the G2x superior screen quality.

I've done A LOT of research in this buy and Tegra 2 > SGS2 Orion (which was my other choice). Plus the screen looks like crap comparatively (so the current SGS4G and Nexus S).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
i agree took both my vibrant and 4G to the store to test and with brightness turned down on both phones G2x won!

plus i heard the AMOLED screens are made for dark colors if they run "light colors" it burn battery because it has to work 3 times harder to get the same effects....

not sure if its true but sure do love the G2x screen from the 15 mins i tested it to the Galaxy phones
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Yea AMOLED, to me, is similar to Plasma TV's. The illuminate themselves = no backlight. So a black theme uses almost no power but a bright color eats it up like no tomorrow.

What use of having a super duper pretty screen if you have to keep your colors at bay to save your battery?

SLCD uses more battery vs AMOLED with dark screen. But average, SLCD save more battery over AMOLED.

The G2x is the IPS screen so I'm not sure about it. I would say the backlight is a backlight and the power consumption would be better or at least equal to other SLCD's.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] icy56:
Yeah exactly super amoled saves battery if you are displaying black and only black, otherwise it rapes your battery. 95% of the time you are using your phone, so its displaying colors other than black leading to absolutely **** battery life. No point in having a screen if the battery goes down 90% in an hour if its actually displaying color. I know im exaggerating but thats just how it feels to me. All that ohh super amoled is a battery saver omg, is just bull****. Unless you stare at a black screen most of the time you are using your phone, the battery sucks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
i dont expect the on the G2x to be to much better because of the dual core BUT yeah my vibrant stock 2.1 got 12 hours if i was lucky... and on stock 2.2 13 hours..... even with a custom rom i was only hitting 14-18 hours (moderate web/txt/calls)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] noobletsausecakebbq:
Honestly g2x battery life isnt terrible. It will last you a good 7-8 hours of heavy 4g and screen usage. It charges back up to 100% rather quickly, so you are ready to go in no time. But if you don't have a power source, then I wouldn't go using it all out just not to be left with a brick in the middle of an important thing.

but still..seeing my friend's Samsung Galaxy S Captivate is made me get an Android fone in the first place..

LG G2x is surprisingly a solid piece.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ThC23:
Haha, I remember this! "G2X with Google " yeah right! They forgot to say "and LG crap all over"!

...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I'm very happy with my purchase. The G2x has a great battery life and does recharge quick as hell. I was on 15% and threw it on the charge for a few minutes at home before I left again around 6pm. After like 15min it said it had 55%.

Lasted all night of showcasing it off to my cousin (who was looking buy one). At 3am the phone was at 17%. Forgot to charge it and this morning it was still at 17%. Played my games (Word feud and Kingdoms live) and some twitter/facebook feeds. 15%. Put on the charge.

Very impressed with battery. Love this phone.

[General Questions and Answers] Sushi2k7:
Hi,

i want to write a simple small app but iam very new to android developing.

i need an app that is configurable through terminal (SSH) and i want to pass an option to the app as its started as a service...

Thats what i need:

- starts as a service

- waiting for my options (e.g. service -startmonitoring, -stopmonitoring)

- the service writes GPS-location and acclerometer to RAM

- if GPS isnt useable it sends a notification per e-Mail/SMS

- if any of these RAM-Data changes it would pass an e-Mail/SMS

why i need this app is that i want to hide a cellphone in my motorcycle and this would help me protect my bike.

also iam still using "GPSlogger" and "wheres my droid" but when they come to action its already to late.

So what do i need to know to build this app?

Id like to get pages with turorials.

-or-

if its not a big thing for an experienced dev i would pay for the app (small amount with the copyright left by the dev or a huge amount and i get the copyright and src)

pls help me out there :)

Greetings from Germany

where do i go from here to overclock? is it an app or process?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawks556:
You need a overclockable kernel to begin with and then you need an app like setcpu to change the freqency.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superstick1:
you can use app like CPU tuner as an alternative to setcpu too. As mentioned by Hawks556, make sure your kernel is overclockable. =)

Hi,

I've tried every other GB port out there (Vegan 7, G Harmony, ASOP), but they all seem to fall a little short (ex: fail to run Samurai II), or crash often. So far my favorit is G Harmony... Not as pretty or "tablet optimized" as Vegan, but looks good and is very stable so far!

The crashing... not that unexpected, but can anyone comment on App compatibility with the lastest Rom from Corwin? Was the Nvidia Tegra code integrated into it for hardware acceleration? Do the Tegra optimized apps work (more precisely Samurai II which seems to cause the most problems)

Thanks for the comments
