[Fascinate General] thechopster:
I just got the Thunderbolt about 2 weeks ago coming from the Fascinate and then the Incredible. In regards to the Fascinate, I love the phone but I too have experienced the long wait (still waiting) and frustration over the froyo update along with the persistent GPS problems. My main issue with the Fascinate which doesn't seem to be talked about much on the boards is the poor reception quality of its radio. I though all phones were that bad until I tried others including the Incredible. It seemed like I was always praying for a nearby WiFi spot. Even with these issues I stuck with the Fascinate for awhile. The Fascinate has always been snappy, visually stunning with one of the most gorgeous screens, and reliable for the most part. I eventually flashed froyo, which too be honest, did not produce a huge difference and by that time I tried out a friend's Incredible. I was sold. The Incredible's screen (it was the amoled version), Sense (I much prefer it over Touchwiz and even LauncherPro), speed (just as snappy as the Fascinate, and the extensive development community (making the Incredible's battery issue less of an issue) made it more appealing to me. I loved the small size with a screen large enough where it was useful and didn't give me a headache. The only thing that I thought the Incredible could improve on was its data speed. If the data speed was even just a fraction faster I would opted to keep it. The Thunderbolt has the data speed (regular 12-20 mps down and 5-10th up) , Sense, and a great emerging development community (some coming from both the Fascinate and Incredible). The speeds on the Thunderbolt are reaching unbelievable levels. The battery sucks but the kernels that have been in development have helped alleviate the problem to an acceptable level (can go close to 24 hours without charge with moderate use).

Yes, the TB is larger and heavier but I am growing to accept it. I can still fit it into my pocket with no problem and the larger screen does make typing and playing games MUCH easier. So far, the 2 areas that the TB needs improvement are the battery life and the SIMM card issue. For those who don't know, in order to switch and activate another phone using your same line you have to go to a Verizon store and get a new SIMM card. Granted the SIMM card is free for each activation, there's no more dialing #226.

That's my 2 cents :)
[Fascinate General] DirgeExtinction:
I was on the fence about selling my Fascinate and buying a Thunderbolt(since I heard Verizon might be moving to tiered 4G data plans in the summer). After seeing a leaked device roadmap for Verizon a week or so ago, though, I want to wait until May when the Galaxy S2 is supposedly being released for the Big Red with LTE. :D
[Fascinate General] ziggy484:
What are you talking about, you can easily run on your fascinate the same froyo that most other phones have, add superclean to that and you have... hardware is now everything

[Fascinate General] ataranine:
Read my post again. The phone's hardware is **** when you have crappy software FROM THE MANUFACTURER to use that hardware. It takes a team of hackers to make it halfway decent.
[Fascinate General] deaffob:
I agree with the fact that hardware means ****. The whole reason why I got the android is to have the ability to modify phone.

But if my phone is getting each update 6 to 12 months late, I would rather have bought the iPhone.
[Fascinate General] ataranine:
Starting to get tired of Android altogether. The fragmentation is killing me. And being an early adopter of Android, it makes me sad. (I bought both the Eris and Droid when they first came out)
[Fascinate General] starscream84:
Not quite... we are running 2.2 Touchwiz because of the crap source that Samsung uses, not the same 2.2 that everyone else has. RFS instead of EXT4 and if you've ever checked out JT or birdmans twitter they found HTC code inside Samsung's RIL are just a couple of the obvious reasons no one should ever buy Samsung from Verizon. Then compair the Thunderbolt and this phone again in about a month when they are running a full Cyanogen and we are still spinning our wheels in the same place.
[Fascinate General] ziggy484:
My phone doesnt have touchwiz on it, voodoo is ext4 isnt it? And what other phone has the led screen and is as light and thin as the fascinate... i admit the tb is pretty sweet, just checked it out like 5 minutes ago. Yes the software and screen is nice, but what makes me almost want one is its hardware. Its the only phone thats even close, i dont know what they did to the poor dx with those hard buttons that seem like they could fall right off, even the fascinate is starting to annoy me with the big rounded corners

[Nook Color General] artvandelay300:
I recently bough a Nook Color and am trying to see what case I want to buy. Does anyone know if there is just a simple Silicone Cover that also has a kickstand similar to the EVO phones?

I would like to get something slim so that the device still fits in my pocket but I also want it to stand both portrait and landscape mode.

Please let me know if there is anything you might recommend.

Thanks
[Nook Color General] Flagone:
I couldn't decide what case to buy so just impulse bought this case on Ebay.

"PDair Black Genuine Leather VX1 Case for Nook Color"

I would love to give you a link, but the forum prevents me at the moment until I have posted 10 messages.

It hasn't arrived yet, so I can't comment on its quality. I chose it over the others as it looked okay and would not be bulky. However, obviously it gives no protection when the device is in use.
[Nook Color General] WobbleTheHutt:
I myself am a huge fan of holster type cases. i have the franklin sleeve from barnes and noble and LOVE IT, cant post links yet google "barnes and noble franklin sleeve" and it will be your first hit :)

[Windows Phone 7 General] digger1985:
I will be honest. I pirated this app at first. Sorry. :o However, after several contact with the support and few replies from them, I came to believe they deserve the £4.99 that they're are asking for the app so I bought the app again. I asked them about the new live tile deep linking shown with the kayak app at MIX and they were as excited about it as I was. They seem to be a great team. The app is fully licensed by National Rail so you WILL get accurate real time data.

Please buy the app and support the developers!
[Windows Phone 7 General] root beer:
What information would I get that isn't on the National Rail website which i have bookmarked and can quickly pull up for free?
[Windows Phone 7 General] digger1985:
That's a difficult question.

The app is laid out in a panaroma main page with 4 panes.

upcoming

departures

journeys

my departures/nearest station

When first starting the app, the upcoming page is empty.

The departures pane is empty but has a "find station" option. This takes you to a search page, which pivots between "nearest" with stations sorted by distance, "all" listed alphabetically and searchable, recent and favourites.

Once you find your station and touch it, it takes you to another page for the station which pivots between departures and arrivals from that station. You get a full list of trains with platform numbers, if they're on time, delay time etc. If you click on the particular train, you get to see live progress of where the train is in its route.

You can also add the station to your favourites.

When you add it to your favourites, the station will appear as a tile under the departures of the first panaroma view.

The third panaroma pane is Journeys and is also blank at first, with a "plan a journey" option. When you click on it, you get the usual from/to, departing at/arriving by and the date/time option. When you click search you get a list of trains for the journey.

When you go back tot he Journeys pane in the main panaroma, this journey has now been added to the list, so you can do a quick search later.

The fourth pane doesn't have a title but had three options. 1 is settings. and the two others are "my departures" and "nearest station". The nearest station by definition will find the nearest train station and show it in the embedded bing maps.

my departures is where you can add your frequented routes. For example I can add in my usual train to work. When I add a train to my departures, the upcoming pane which I first mentioned, will now contain a tile for that departure, except it's "live" and shows what time the train is for, if it's delayed, how much it's delayed by etc. So I don't have to drill down just to see info on my usual train. The tile also shows first train for the same journey within the 30 min window for your departure. i.e. if you miss the departure you input initially, then it will show you the next departure for the same route. This has been slightly hit and miss and I have talked to the devs who are looking into it.

To summarize, there is no problem with using the site. However I find the app, pleasing and more importantly, I get to the information much faster than with the site. I had not problem paying 4.99 for it considering I spend 4.15 on a pint of lager alone.

When they implement the live tiles we saw in MIX with the kayak app, I believe the app is going to be amazing. I have written to the devs about it and they seem to be very excited about the new things they can do in mango.

[Atrix 4G General] janggu:
Hello,

Now that I rooted Bell’s Atrix (A big thank you for gladroot), I am dying to remove Motoblur related apps and social network apps. However, I read a posting that removing stock apps would cause problems later on with o/s updates.

I was wondering if somebody could guide me which apps I could remove without problems.

Thank you very much in advance!
[Atrix 4G General] neotekz:
there is a thread in the development forums that list all the bloatware that can be safely removed
[Atrix 4G General] rjayflo:
Freeze them don't remove
[Atrix 4G General] OngPangTau:
Hi

janggu

,

As

rjayflo

mentioned, DON'T remove them but just "freeze" them by "rename" those unwanted ".apk" file to ".bak" file extension. Since you have rooted your Atrix 4G, you may achieve this by download the "Root Explorer" from the market and "rename" those unwanted stock apps as accordingly.

Make sure you rename both the ".apk" and ".odex" for the targeted apps name. Enjoy!

Me and a friend have been noticing issues with Geolocation weather working properly on different weather based programs.

HTC Sense, Beautiful Widgets & Fancy widgets have all been giving us this issue, as well as I am running Bell, he is running on Rogers.

I am wondering if anyone has been having the same issues as us where the weather drops the location to just saying Ontario, rather then the actual area that you are in. Been noticing it for the past week or so now.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Athrun88:
I havent noticed anything, but i have been using a different weather/clock app combo.. i am on telus and usually in the oshawa area. I will run afew days with the htc clock/weather app and see what happens.
[G2 and Desire Z General] David Dee:
I have been having the same issue. I set Toronto as a location so when I scroll down from the geo-location weather to Toronto the weather and forecast is identical. Based on this I assume the geo-location weather and location is correct, it just names the province instead of the city. I have a Desire Z running on Rogers with rmk's modified version of the leaked Sense Gingerbread Rom.

[Android Software Development] monossidoz:
Hi, I've started a few days ago to develop an application that allows you to open the links to the most popular social network with the right native android application instead of open the browser.

Just some Google Apps like Youtube and Maps do this, but Twitter, facebook, Foursquare, Linkdin...don't.

So I started thinking if it's possible to "intercept" the links and open an Activity from a third application, and this is the result

https://github.com/monossido/AppLink

At the moment just a few type of links to Twitter and Facebook are supported.

Just a few Activity are "public" and it is possibile to launch with intent, for the other i had to use "am start" from a shell with root permission. It works!

If someone want to collaborate tell me and read https://github.com/monossido/AppLink/blob/master/README

In every rom I've tried, the volume buttons don't work when I'm holding the phone to my head. Is this supposed to be like that? Anyone know of a way to fix this?

Also, is there a way to decrease the min volume, even the lowest is still loud.

Thanks
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bajabubz:
First of all let me explain my voip setup. I'm running GV forwarded to sipgate running sipdroid on my thunderbolt, and I never leave LTE coverage, my setup works perfectly over WiFi, incoming and outgoing calls are initiated lickety split. I have been using GV Callback to initiate calls over either connection, and when I'm on Lte I'm only getting incoming calls if the phone is freshly booted, or in the middle of a data session
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bajabubz:
I mostly suspect the reason for my problem is NAT related because I can only get sipdroid to connect to my sipgate account using UDP, as opposed to TCP which would initiate a data session between the phone and the network, as that would explain the difference between WiFi and lte
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] quattr0:
Y do u need to use sipdroid when u already use gv call back?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bajabubz:
I use GV call back so that I can place outgoing calls with my same GV number caller id. My GV number is forwarded to the phone number that sipgate provided me with.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] mycomputerisjunk:
Have you tried to use a STUN server? Works for me, I can always send and receive calls no matter how long the phone has been sleeping.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bajabubz:
No, I looked into it but my provider (sipgate) says they don't use them, if I may ask who your voip service is through?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] mycomputerisjunk:
I use a local ISP who uses Asterisk.

Try the stun option. It is they way around NAT, and it's most likely the reason you don't get incoming calls. Use the one already defined, or search for public stun servers on google.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bajabubz:
I finally figured this out. I signed up for an account on pbxes.com, routeed the sipgate account through a trunk in pbxes and sign into pbxes account in sipdroid. Since pbxes supports TCP incoming calls come in no problems now
