Hello Everybody..

I been itching to upgrade my phone and purchase an Android based phone since months and just when i was set to purchase Incredible S.. these dual cores start popping up.

I am not too much of a geek to fall for the dual cores straightaway, esp when the OS/Apps arent optimized for dual, still thought about considering Lg Optimus 2x as both are closely matched regarding the pricing in my area.

Preference:-

1) Battery

Need to have the battery lasting through the day on moderate/decent usage.

2) Camera

Cant ignore this aspect. Basically still photography. Videos shdnt be horrible either.

3) Ofc the sensible purchase Out of Incrdible S / 2x

Been reading lots of reviews and what not but still a little doubt remains.

Even though totally sold on the HTC Sensation.. the phone might not debut here for another month and a half and more importantly will open with a huge price difference (taking 2x/Incredible S in view)

Advice/Suggestions needed guys.
[HTC Incredible S] gregy74:
If you ask me, I will never buy LG phone.

I am HTC fan and I can tell you that Incredible S is one of the best HTC phones till now. My previous phone was Desire HD. Incredible S is much, much better.
[HTC Incredible S] spacescreamer:
Thanks greggy..

Oh and one more thing.. Camera is another thing which needs to be counted in.

Updating original post as well.
[HTC Incredible S] FormelLMS:
I have tried both. And send the LG back.

Camera, battery, software is crap.

I have bought an incredible now and it's absolutely cool.

Camera is quite good.
[HTC Incredible S] chobie:
Heyy I remember you from the Nexus One threads! Cool you're a Incredible S convert as well :D
[HTC Incredible S] emarcoss:
I've just bought a new HTC Incredible S. Looks nice, however i realized that the phone signal drops 1 line if I grab the phone with my full hand sovering the top.

Anyway, what makes HTC better than the LG Optimus X2? I'm a fan of HTC.. but according to the features.. the X2 should be much better than our HTC
[HTC Incredible S] olyloh6696:
Same dilema here, but with the desire s instead of this!

Is dual core just overhyped?

also may i ask, why did you upgrade from a dhd to the incredible s?

Is it coz of battery?
[HTC Incredible S] spacescreamer:
i believe the answer lies with the combo of a better optimised s/w + RAM.

Thanks to 'Formel-LMS' we have a comment from a user who tried his hands on both the phones. Thanks to him.

That's due to the incorrect way of holding the phone.

Basically Phones are never meant to be held with fingers anywhere near the antenna as that interferes with the signal reception..and i think that is exactly what happened with you.
[HTC Incredible S] thedosbox:
Don't count on the dual-core chips having better battery life until a process shrink.
[HTC Incredible S] nameit:
Same here. HD filming is also very nice, but takes a lot of SD memory.

Device is very fast,

Also the speed of the serviceprovider is very important. Check with others.

From Nameit's HTC Incredible s using XDA app!
[HTC Incredible S] nawuia:
i dont like the LG
[HTC Incredible S] Gihanfx:
same here, my previous one was HD2, love the S
[HTC Incredible S] dryspuri:
I was stupid to buy LG 2x seeing positive reviews, everything is crap, phone is getting switched off on its own, too much hassel, i wont go for LG again

only positive thing about lg is root freindly, but i believe incredible s will come around, but i thought same for legend & it never picked up
[HTC Incredible S] qexing:
Optimus 2X has a Tegra dual core, HDMI, 1080p HD recording, gyroscope,

however, it only has 512MB RAM, it's a big disadvantage

BTW: I don't trust LG phone's quality, i'd prefer Incredible S ...
[HTC Incredible S] olyloh6696:
At carphone warehouse in the uk, the incredible s cost more than the lg! Then the wildfire s cost only £50 less than the lg. So ppl in uk have already negative views of it!

Don't fall into the more is better trap that people fell for with their PC processors. It took folks about two years to realise (unless you spend your life gaming) it was total ****.
[HTC Incredible S] mazinya:
Can someone comment about the battery? cuz reviews say it can last 1-2 days easily with light to moderate use
[HTC Incredible S] dryspuri:
I am very happy with Iicredible s battery, i dont know about lg as the phone i had was playing freeze game with me, whenever i left the phone on its own it would freeze and will only respond to pulling battery!!
[HTC Incredible S] thedosbox:
Yes, I am rarely below 40% after 24 hours. Usage typically consists of Exchange and gmail updates every 15 minutes, light browsing and periodic widget updates. The screen brightness will affect this though.

And this is without having to resort to a task killer.

If you have tzone, then it's IS. If not, g2x..
[HTC Incredible S] a.2mjed.a:
"Excuse me for my English"

I'm also confused about these tow devices!

I read alot of review and I see that the LG x2 is better than HTC IS.

But I love the sense in HTC and everything, but I want ask you about a property that x2 have.

The property called (waiting) which is when you call someone and he is talking to someone else (in the same time) the screen show you that he is in the phone talking to someone else. << I hope you understand me :p

Does the IS have this property or not?

And about Arabic language, If I change the rom, Can I install the Arabic language or not?

[Atrix 4G General] davemao:
Anyone having issues with Grooveshark? I have it on my jailbroken iPhone and it works fine. I ran the Android version just fine on an HTC Inspire 4G for a couple of days before swapping it out for a different phone.

Since Google pulled it from the Android market before I got this phone, I had to sideload a version I found out on the intertubes. This version seems kinda flaky. It works sometimes, but oftentimes it thinks I have playlists of length 0. Also songs sometimes quit in the middle or fail to play altogether, giving me a rather cryptic error message.

Has anyone else had success getting Grooveshark to run on the Atrix?
[Atrix 4G General] ks2hot4u:
Tinyshark

I use tinyshark its free and bypasses the trial and pay of the official grooveshark not as polished and lacking features but its on its way
[Atrix 4G General] buddmann31:
Grooveshark isnt supported on the atrix yet. It works fine on my captivate, but the atrix just doesnt work right. I messaged the people at grooveshark and they confirmed that no version supports atrix yet. Usually get no playlists or stuck in offline mode... hope this helps...
[Atrix 4G General] B3ATTY:
Thanks for the tip - Grooveshark wouldn't work on my GTab, but Tinyshark is going great

(I was reading here because I have an Atrix on its way)
[Atrix 4G General] mobileweasel:
I'll third Tinyshark !!
[Atrix 4G General] davemao:
Awesome! Thanks! Tinysharks works! I wonder if the dual-core CPU is throwing off all these apps. The on-again, off-again nature of the glitches with Grooveshark reminds me a bit of how PC apps used to behave back in the day when dual-core CPUs were just starting to make it into mainstream PCs.

You guys rock!
[Atrix 4G General] bimmerboii:
Another + for tinyshark!

TinyShark was also just updated with Bluetooth controls, so you don't have to ope the app to control your music with a headset.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CuBz90:
I posted a topic a few months ago about accidentally breaking the external antenna connector on the back of my Xperia X10, which caused me to no longer be able to get a signal.

I was told that in order to reset it so that it would connect to the network via the internal antenna, something would need to be done to the kernel.

Now that custom kernels can be loaded, can anybody tell me how I can fix my signal? if possible

Thanks

I'm not sure what the problem is really. If you have to get back to a stock rom, this might not be a bad idea, then use FlashTool and load a base band maybe the end of the 2.0 series - .52 - is the best choice, see how that goes and if it works wit the rom of your choosing. Of course the .58 baseband is the most stable and probably has the best reception.

I am rooted using Vaelpak rom, but this has happened on other roms too. But any time I record a video and I either play it back on my phone or any other device it just skips, freezes, pauses etc.

Is there a settings to fix this or any other rom that records smooth video? Without hiccups or skips?

use the sense it is not bad on my phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mazda:
I never had a problem with my playback of videos. What roms has this happened to you in? Some roms, especially newer one have problems with 720p video playback so that's why it may seem choppy or whatever!

Have you tried going into recovery, doing a complete wipe of everything and flashing sprint lovers rom......I know for a fact that everything works like a charm on that rom!

I don't know if they are or not, I have a co-worker who has one of the same ones plus more. We compared packaging and the androids and we couldn't tell the difference. They also feel sturdy and they don't feel cheap or any different from the ones he purchased. He only spent 4 more dollars on his then I did.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kermode:
I mean I know the resolution is 1280x800, but as you swipe between the homescreens the wallpaper moves in the background.

That suggests to me that its wider than 1280 pixels to fit over all screens.

So what would be a good resolution?

(I can start looking for pictures now, whilst i wait for the device ;) )
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roach2010:
The default_wallpaper.jpg file showing the tree and clouds is 2135 x 1408 pixels.

Thanks, but does that mean it is being squeezed horizontally? Or do it crop it?

Now it suddenly sounds confusing. :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuntdouble:
I'd assume it should be the same as the default one 2135x1408 as it has to be for both landscape and portrait, as well as scrolling side to side.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kermode:
Ah yes, good point - it has to work in both modes - it just makes it harder for the end user to get the focus of the picture in picture so to speak.

Oh well, I guess its a minor problem :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFK_Matrix:
Is it just me or when I try and take a picture from my Gallery and use it as a Wallpaper no matter how big I make the crop box it still kind of zooms in when its set as the wallpaper?

Also when you go to change the wallpaper you have a Wallpaper section but how do you put new wallpapers into this section as it doesn't come up when connected to the pc?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jug6ernaut:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rothnic:
You could just do the largest of the screen res for both x and y. 1280 x 1280 would cover the background in either landscape or portrait.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huppelkutje:
But you also want to scroll between your homescreens. And a 1280x1280 resolution would not make this any beautiful experience :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thering1975:
if the app wallpaper set and save works then use that and take a native resolution wallpaper (same as stock). I use this app on my galaxy s and sets the picture perfectly where as the galaxy s makes a right hash of it
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryaninja:
I have a picture where I want to show most of the picture as the bit I want to show on the homesecreen is in the middle right of the picture, but no matter how I crop it always zooms in too much and cuts off half the detail I want. I was thinking of adding some black bars to the top and bottom of the pic, as hopefully it would zoom out a bit then and the only time you'd see the black bars is when the wallpaper scrolls 'up' like when you press and hold the desktop to get to the widget menu.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kermode:
If that works, perhaps you could make a short of template of that and share it with us :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pritz524:
Sometimes wallpapers differ on each device due to screen Resolution

So i would suggest that you find your devices resolution by taking a Screenshot and checking the Screenshot.png dimensions

Suppose its 720x1280 , now multiply the width x 3 (depending on number of homescreens) , the new dimensions are2160x1280

So now you can have an idea of what size of wallpaper you should be looking for, for being precise you can calculate the ratio also .
[Galaxy Tab General] andytof46:
Hi I have just asked my provider to help make my tab work as a "phone" and was told I couldn't unless I enabled VOIP for $10 P/M

I'm not too happy about this and told them so!!!;)

They have come to an arrangement with me but I'm still not happy because It still sounds like VOIP to me and over 3g it drops out.

Is there a way to prove this traffic is actually data/voip

my interface shows up as SVNET0 I can capture the the UDP protocol by using OSMonitor but I don't think that is detailed enough.....

cheers for any help

PS I am running stock FROYO
[Galaxy Tab General] Lucky_Charms:
First off. Who is your carrier? If you're in the US no carrier will give you voice service only data. In order to enable voice for a Tab in the US you will need to root it and then do some homework by searching through XDA. In other countries that do allow voice and data on the Tab, your mobile plan should be like any other smart phone.
[Galaxy Tab General] andytof46:
cheers

Well first off I'm with Optus, and the girl tried to offer me an add on voip service to allow phone calls.

anyhow I was watching my data interfaces and sure enough they do move while on a "Voice/3g" call so although all digital transmissions could be data, these ones are UDP in particular which points to VOIP...

just need more details.....

cheers anyways
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcl71:
Think I need to slow down a little...flashed 3 different kernels since yesterday. As a newbie to this and trying to determine what works best with Rom I'm running, how long should I run a new kernel before judging performance? Specifically battery wise. Should I go through a certain amount of charge cycles or make judgement over course of couple hours use. Have been fully charging and clearing battery stats after flashing kernels. Haven't fully discharged and recharged to full with any. Not enough time. Lmao.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
you arent crazy, i do the same thign with kernels. but the key is to be patient. the way i do it is this. i flash the kernel, then load current widget and system panel. let the phone sleep all night, and record idle current readings and let system panel monitoring do its job. then analyze in the morning.

i look for a good constant 5mA drain on current, and far under 1% cpu usage on system panel. more like 0.2%, with only 3 items showing up in the list, system, system process, and current widget (of course lol).

that's an acceptable kernel in my eyes.
