When everything is similar to all upcoming devices, specs and features get blurred. I say kickstand jokingly but with truth. Its a hardware feature I use a lot. There both so similiar and they both have there flaws no matter what device you get but if your having a hard time deciding on a phone I would look at the little tiny frivolous things that make that phone. ........ Kickstand.
[Thunderbolt General] royolpunk:
Yeah personally I just want to see cyanogenmod7 on this thing...
[Thunderbolt General] zero neck:
The only upsides to the charge are more ram, samoled+ screen, and hummingbird processor (slight edge).

But i agree with everyone else that the thunderbolt's dev community will be superior, and realistically the phone has good enough specs to contend with almost any phone coming out right now, especially the c harge, which probably wont get ota updates in a timely manner, and which is shaped like a blackberry or something.
[Thunderbolt General] SnoopDawg:
It is truly a valid question, I have seen some really great responses.

I hear from reliable sources that the Charge won't be out till sometime in May. This is also the same time that LG is supposed to be out which will be dual core.

I think if you keep the TB it wouldn't be a bad move at all.
[Thunderbolt General] :
How many effin times are people going to continue to be misinformed and say the tbolt has a super LCD. It doesn't! And Samsung sucks. Hence my username. I came from a galaxy s device. HTC is more dev friendly. However super amoled is amazing whoever thinks wvga screens like the tbolt are better is smoking **** lol.
[Thunderbolt General] AstarteSV:
Agreed, but I love sense and beautiful widgets just wasn't cutting it. Plus I love the build quality of my HTC and it just feels more like a premium phone compared to what Samsung has put out there.
[Thunderbolt General] thechopster:
I'd never go back to Samsung. I had the Fascinate and their promises and just unbelievablely slow updates have killed all of my confidence in the company. Like a poster mentioned already, the Fascinate is still on Eclair. I also believe that Smasung + Verizon is a bad match. The Telus Fascinate has had the Froyo update for months now. Of course we can update the Fascinate here with Froyo, but come on Samsung and Verizon- they seem to not really care about their customers at least with the Fascinate. Also, I much prefer Sense over TouchWiz.
[Thunderbolt General] mngdew:
I don't think it's Samsung's fault not releasing the official update for Fascinate. It's VZ. Every other Galaxy S has received official Froyo update.
[Thunderbolt General] Chalup:
The real questions is... will Samsung also work with VZ to lock down their phones?
[Thunderbolt General] FallenCow:
sAMOLED is not always necessarily better than TFT or SLCD. Coming from a Fascinate I loved the contrast, the bold colors (some people don't like this), and the inky blacks, but what killed it for me was that this was a pentile display which caused text to not be as crisp as it is on the TBolt's screen (whatever it is). I do a lot of reading from my phone and this was definitely something that bothered me to no end.

I'm hoping that sAMOLED+ fixes that now that they've moved away from pentile and have more subpixels, but your blanket statement definitely does not apply to everyone.

Also, Samsung's built quality is so-so and is on par with most manufacturers, but from a design perspective would it kill them to use some aluminum or soft-touch plastic or rubber coated plastic in their devices?

Like everyone else said, choosing between the two is going to come down to a matter of personal preference with the big differentiators being which screen you prefer and whether you care to have more developer community support for your device.
[Thunderbolt General] sublimaze:
i do miss the amoled screen of my old captivate. i loved the vivid colors & blacks. but i wouldn't trade my tbolt for anything on the market right now
[Thunderbolt General] zero neck:
Cant deny the samoled and this charge has samoled+ right? It's gonna look good. But the droid branded charge will still be second or third place in the verizon phone heirarchy.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbm21:
I have saved myself from many weird bricks.. but I have never Had anything like this happen. So I wanted to get darkys rom 10 on my phone so I opened it up and replaced some files with ones that I stole from the edt gingerbread rom, but then I remembered that I had to flash some i9k thing from Odin for the bootloaders

So I stupidly i did, and. The flash failed. so then I decided to Flash just the bootloaders (I'm useing heimdall so I could do that) and then I would flash a vibrant kernel and install darkys rom from recovery so. Flashed the bootloaders, and it rebooted showing the i9000 splash screen an didn't even who the vibrant one! And the weird part is that I can still boot into the on I was using before (edt gingerbread) and it works fine. BUT I cat get into download mode using 3 buttons only using reboot download command

So here Is my question, should I flash back to stock vibrant software useing reboot download command or should I leave it as it is and stop flashing (that would be sad) because if I brick my phone I can't get into download mode?

Thanks

UPDATE: I can reboot into recovery and I see it I dont need to use android screencast

[Nook Color General] scl23enn4m3:
I'm trying to make my way around Android. I use an Evo, got as far as rooting it and they didn't have time to go much further. But with the Nook Color, I'm kind of forced to customize it to make it usable. I'm trying to learn how to do everything, and have gotten pretty far with just this forum and Googling. Any help would be appreciated.

I have Clockwork Rom running and flashed the recovery. When I select Nook Color (old) it won't mount the SD card when I try to do a backup, or any other time in the recovery. When I try flashing Nook Color, it mounts the SD card, but won't mount the system. Any idea on how to solve this problem?

Thanks!

EDIT: My Nook version is 1.0.1 and I used to the corresponding AutoNooter to root it.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omgzilla85:
When turning on my evo i get the White screen + vibrate, then it reboots to another white screen + vibrate, and then the ROM loads. Anyone know why this happens? I always perform full format prior to ROM installs.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
What rom are you currently using and does it contain its own boot animation and splash screen? Have you experienced this with other roms or just the current one?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omgzilla85:
I am currently on Savaged Zen RC2. It happened while using Warm Z and CM7 also.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
That is indeed odd. Download & flash a fresh copy of amon RA v2.3 and then, after you made a nandroid backup of your current setup. Wipe EVERYTHING except the SD card itself. Afterwards, reflash the rom of your choice and see if the double boot animation disappears. As a matter of fact, check your PM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamantypants:
I'm having this problem too but I didn't notice it until I installed Savaged Zen RC2 the other day. When I install new roms I always at LEAST triple wipe data, cache and dalvik, and use Calk's format all.

It must be something to do with splash screen trying to install but not installing correctly or the fact that I've had my own custom splash installed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
Is this only after your first install of a ROM, or every time you reboot? I've been seeing this ever since I started using darktremor A2SD with an ext3 partition. It only does this on the first reboot after install, and then it's fine on subsequent reboots. I'm thinking it's normal. A2SD probably does some setup, then reboots.

If you're seeing it every time, or not using a2sd, then yes, it may be a problem.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
The OP's problem was solved by re-flashing amon RA v2.3 then booting into recovery and wiping EVERYTHING except the SD Card itself. I've sent the both of you a link to download the version I use and sent to the OP.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walkention:
Well the steps listed above just fixed the problem. I flashed to Amon RA v2.3, did a nand, wipe EVERYTHING but the sdcard and flashed CM7-nightly38, gapps and the savaged zen BFS 1.1.0 kernel.

Odd thing I found though is that when i tried to use Rom Manager to flash Amon RA v2.2.2 it would refuse to flash. Not sure that if there was something related to Clockwork Recovery that caused the double white screen or what.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamantypants:
Well I tried the newest recovery and did full wipe on everything, three times at that. No dice. Twice it rebooted without double splash screens but every time now it does it. Doesn't matter if it's normal reboot, reboot from recovery, or started from shut down. It's not a big deal to me, mostly a minor inconvenience. I mostly did the full wipe as an excuse to let me start clean on the CM7 final.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walkention:
Hmm. Seems to be back on reboot for me. I might try a sense rom and see if does the same thing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahavens17:
I'm having the same issue, I'm running a different splash screen currently, but same issue occurs. Splash, black screen, splash, boot animation, startup. It is really only a minor inconvienence, but it would be nice to fix it. I have this splashscreen, and this bootscreen. Running CyanogenMod-7 with SavagedZen1.1.0CFSHAVSWiMAXGB kernel. I can't pinpoint exactly when it started, but I want to say probably when I flashed SZ. The kernel runs great, so if thats causing it, I can just live with it for now.

I did see someone stated a reflash of the Amon RA recovery, and a full wipe and reinstall solves this. However, I also saw this thread that states its the way the newest SZ kernel is designed to boot that way? I'm willing to do a complete wipe, re install the recovery, kernel, and rom if necessary when I have some more time. Before I do can anyone confirm if this will for sure this corrects it?

Hello Everyone,

So I've been seeking ways to do video out on the Thunderbolt besides DLNA. I came across a device called "Sewell HDdeck USB to HDMI Converter". I would post a link but I cannot do so yet.

Hi,

I'm a beginner in Android development. I wanted to enable ad-hoc networks on my HTC Desire HD. As you might know, Android doesn't natively allow ad hoc networks. So I successfully rooted my phone and went to enable ad hoc using this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=866676

Here they say "update in recovery"

How should I update in recovery?

Also, one person has given the steps below but they somehow don't work for me:

"Can you help on one more thing?

I put that zip file on the sdcard, right?

Then I go into recovery. I have ClockworkMod recovery

In order to install this, in the menu of the clockwork mode, I go to "install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from sdcard", and then pick up your zip file, right??

Is this the way to do it??"

What is ClockworkMod recovery?

Please help me!

[General Questions and Answers] namrataladsariya:
Solution

Ok I found the solution to this problem.

Basically, to update in recovery, one has to install ClockWorkMod app from the Android app store (The app is called ROM Manager - You don't need the premium one to make it work).

Then click on Flask ClockworkMod Recovery and wait till it installs it on the phone.

Then click on Reboot in Recovery.

Then, to enable ad hoc, you can follow the instructions from this thread -

It works perfectly fine and we need to use v2 to make it work for the latest ClockworkMod app.

BTW. we need a rooted phone.

This is the NoClock & No AM/PM mods for EC10 Mesmerize. It will remove the whole clock, or just the AM/PM from your status bar. As before, you only need to flash one of these. If you want to get rid of the AM/PM from your clock, just flash that mod. If you want to get rid of the whole clock, flash the NoClock.

**** This mod is only for TRUE EC10 deodexed ROMs****

****Boot loops may occur if you flash these to something else****

These mods contain part of the framework of the ROM, so after flashing, it will take an extra long time to reboot. This is normal.

Put the zip file on your sdcard. Boot into recovery. Flash the zip. Reboot.

EC10 NoClock

EC10 NoAM/PM

**As a note, ESKBL uses the same framework file so whichever is flashed last will be what you get. I am going to work on a combo of the two for those that want both.**
