[T-Mobile LG G2x] hypersonicx:
I agree, I have 2 full 1080p native res LCD tvs one Philips and one Panasonic. The G2x @ 1080p or 720p is the best camera with the smoothest video I have seen to date from a cell phone.

Be nice if the vids where in mp4 instead of 3gp but the camera quality if just the best there is.

Going to have a ball using it at the mothers day get together tomorrow lol.

Tested on 2 full 1080p native res TVs and my pc monitor wich is 32in @720p native res though.

The 2nd phone in video camcord quality will have to go to the samsung line up with the Vibrant for example. Vibrant owns the HTC phones Vibrant > G2 / MyTouch4G / Evo4G. HTC @ 720p was very choppy frame rate. Vibrant / G2x Constantly smooth. G2x with the edge being able to go up to 1080p

I Agree with THE VIBRANT CAMERA BEING SUPERIOR

uncalled for

These posts are what makes people leave XDA.

If you read through the posts it appears this user has a bad plastic cover over the camera and was the cause of his initial opinion of the camera.

I see you have a tmobile tag. I understand that this is tmobiles new stance on treating customers but dont bring it here.

i used unrevokeed, i checked first if i can (prl,radio,etc)

all was ok tge program was working, it rebooted my evo and more

but at the end it says ''your phone/firmware (i don't remember exactly) is to new?

and says ''error'' then my evo rebooted, i was like omfg i bricked it.

but it turned on like normal, there was no problem, S-ON turned to S-OFF

but i don't have root permisions S:, just the S-off

is there anyway to get my evo back to 0% and start again the rooting

Looking for data about flashing rom over other roms and their status of being stable. Feel free to tell whatever. Thank you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
Yes. Try the serendipity q&a thread.

Caution swyping! Read at your own risk.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaydenboy:
Thanks but I was hoping I could get serial flasher who flashes over this rom only to help me with this experiment. This experiment is only for froyo and not gingerbread.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malbolgias:
I did, I flashed over serendipity and went to continuum. Serendipity works with ginger bread boot loaders.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaydenboy:
Are you serious? Ginger bread bootloader? That is a first I heard. how you do it without getting bricked
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Sigh...don't worry about gingerbread bootloaders unless you going to gingerbread. He was just saying the new bootloaders are backward compatible, why he brought that up idk.

Otherwise in cwm wipe data/factory rest, wipe cache, go into advanced wipe dalvik. Flash whatever froyo rom you want.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaydenboy:
Thanks! Very much appreciated.

but I'm still looking for flasher who actually done it to list what type of rom they flash over serendipity and if it work properly.

I know some people who flashes and got good results and some with poor result.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
Beyond help. :rolleyes:

studacris wouldn't steer you wrong.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
I gave you that suggestion because that's what I do :rolleyes: I have been to stock like 6 times. Total. Flashed every rom over every rom.

If you have any problems after you flash over it, just flash back to stock like you normally do.

Lol, thanks for the endorsement ;p
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaydenboy:
Hold on a minute. no disrespect! I appreciate your response and answer. I'm looking for other people/flasher as well. I counted you already. I'm looking at the what rom and results after the flashing. That's all. So no disrespect to anyone. Trying to listen to whoever experience flashing over serendipity. And I thank you for your time.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
I don't really know what you are expecting to hear. A rom will wipe system/data/cache/dalvik so technically it IS a fresh rom. Flashing over an old rom doesn't affect ANYTHING in regards to the actual rom.

Sent from my HTC Desire Z
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaydenboy:
That is what I'm researching because others claim flashing over roms causes the new rom to not work properly while others have no problems at all. Then there are others who flashes back and forth to the same rom before and notice it doesn't work like it's suppose to when they had it the first time around.

Let me ask you...could it be titanium backup or bad flash. Could never really understand what a bad flash is technically.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
lets put this into perspective, and think of it like your home computer.

on your phone, you have a few partitions. lets think of these combined, representing your C drive

/system /data /cache /datadata (these are the main ones to focus on)

when you format to load a new OS, there is NOTHING remaining of the OLD OS that could possibly cause conflicts. because essentially the drive is clean after the format and you load the new OS, and never see any traces of the old OS on the drive.

if you look at the update-script located in every single CWM flashable zip file, you will see a few things.

format SYSTEM:
format CACHE:
format DATA:
format DATADATA:

then after that you should see:

copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:
copy_dir PACKAGE:updates TMP:/updates

this creates the new partitions, essentially for the system and data

as you can see, the rom flash will wipe the OLD system and data off and put a new one on. what is left from the old rom???
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
That about covers it lol
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaydenboy:
Thank you very much! So if some thing goes wrong then it's pretty much the file which results in a bad flash.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
the only reason to go back to stock with ODIN prior to flashing is if you wanted to repartition and reset the file system. i did it many times while working on the Andromeda builds, because I wanted to make sure that coming from stock people would get the appropriate filesystem configuration and setup
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaydenboy:
Is there any problems you would encounter if you didn't have your partitions and file systems reset?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
very unlikely with the 2.2/2.2.1 roms. the kernel devs are pretty much all on the same page with using similar lagfixes that offer compatibility across the board. think of using ODIN and going back to stock as a last resort. 'when all else fails' type of thing
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaydenboy:
You said very unlikely. Its that part that I'm more interested in. The part that causes us to odin back to stock. When all else fail

Is there something that we do or is it the results from flashing too much that causes our partitions and file systems to go out.

Doesn't flashing reset our files systems and partitions?

Just letting you know that I am very grateful for your time and input. Your elaboration and explanation. You are helping way more than you know.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
It's not caused by flashing too much, as far as your phone is concerned each fish is its first because it wipes first thing.

sometimes something just doesn't write correctly in cwm, for any number of reasons. thats whats known as a "bad flash." but that can be solved by a reflash. you would need odin if say the battery were to die during a flash and all you get is the "phone....!.....pc" screen
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaydenboy:
Very interesting! So it takes place in cwm?

thank you very much! anything else you wanna share I'm all ears.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotshotz:
I have had the transformer for about 2 weeks with no problems installing any apps.

However I was unsuccessful yesterday and googled about clearing cache, but it didn't work so I had to factory reset.

Today, I'm getting the installation unsuccessful messages again. Is this happening to anyone else? I'm starting to get annoyed I have to factory reset to fix this problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark_aura:
This happened to me also, I did several factory resets, clearing cache, etc... nothing. Also, keep an eye on the GTalk app, if you can't enter the market, then it's possible that GTalk can't logon. However, the browser and other stuff should work.

What I did is created a temporary second Gmail account, then on the TF, go to settings and remove your account, then add the new temporary account. Again, clear the Market cache again and Google Framework cache.

Try to go market and login on GTalk, if you still can't, no problem, the same thing happened to me.

After that, I did another factory reset, during the initial setup, I used my original GMail account again. Everything started to work as it should, Market and GTalk.

The problem lies within the Google account, like something got stuck or another thing that I don't know. It was frustrating at first...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuntdouble:
Occasionally google does maintenance and this seems to affect certain accounts more than others. If you suddenly just get this error then you're better off being patient and try again at a later time/date. Sometimes it's only a few minutes, other times it's hours. It's also worth trying to bypass the app entirely and try using a desktop browser to install.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotshotz:
i've tried using my desktop to install apps, but it fails as well.

i'll try giving it tomorrow to see if it clears up, if not i'll just have to factory wipe again.
[General Questions and Answers] absolute85:
Hi, I hope this is the right place to ask this.

I own a HTC Touch Pro 2 and I've recently bought a bluetooth stereo headset. So I enabled for the first time Microsoft Voice Commander and, even if it's only in English, I'm quite satisfied. I've got only one problem.

What I'd like to do is keeping the smartphone in my pocket while I choose music to play through the bluetooth headset and Voice Commander. But I noticed that the smartphone screen always turns on when Voice Commander is used. Is there any chance to modify registry or such and let the screen off when I use Voice commander through bluetooth headset?

[Oh, and here's a little request (off topic I guess), is there a way to enable both stereo audio and hands free when I pair the headset?]
[Windows Phone 7 General] slight22:
As you can see my DVP slipped out of my hand and hit the ground today. I loved the look of this phone and the fact it has a physical qwerty keyboard.

But it was a small drop and the thing shattered like crystal. I was also having signal issues, even in the middle of an open area. That and very few cracks are available for it.

So my questions are this. Should I pay for the out of warranty and get the phone replaced for 250 dollars. Should I go back to HTC and buy a whole new phone. Are there better Win7 phones than the DVP and the HD7 or are they probably the pinocle of phones right now?
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
HD7 has a worse screen no keyboard and the same signal issues. Better camera, though. But the DVP is a better phone in almost every other way...

Get a replacement. I'm really thinking the signal issues are software and that can be fixed in an update.

Gorilla Glass FTW right :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] colbey427:
I have used the HD7, but went to Sprint to get the keyboard. Any warranty replacement thru most carriers/agents is a return. Sometimes good, sometimes not so. I prefer a new to returb based on my experiences. I also like the physical keyboard as it for me is easier to operate. My experience with phones is that HTC generally has a good product, and I actually prefer to use them.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
I am looking now to see if there are any vendors selling replacement screens for the DVP but I am not finding any.

I would see how much a new screen is. If it is $100 or something so then I would go that route. Fix the phone and then keep it or ebay it for $299 min and put that towards a new phone.

Dunno if you will like the HD7 anymore. Maybe the Omnia 7?
[Windows Phone 7 General] slight22:
So I spoke with mobilicity and they said that because of the frequency they use (1700/2100) the best phones are the ones working with T-Mobile nothing in Canada will really work. So that means I'm ordering another DVP.

I just wish there was a way to get a working Windows explorer, I truly miss it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
Samsung Omnia 7 has Gorilla glass..
[Windows Phone 7 General] slight22:
with gorilla glass don't you think is should be a little tougher??
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
DVP has Gorilla glass too? Man I have to be carefull with my Samsung than.. I already bought that hard case which hides which phone and model it is from behind and let people keep guessing.. I dont want every other person to carry the same phone like mine .. like ignorant Iphone users..
[Windows Phone 7 General] slight22:
Just a couple videos off you tube about Gorilla Glass form Corning.

I think Dell and I are going to have a bit of a chat on monday!
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Gorilla glass Ian scratch resistant, not shatter resistant. I think lots of people make that incorrect assumption these days.
[Windows Phone 7 General] slight22:
True but when it landed it landed on my plastic body kit first, and if you watch the videos they do alot more than the force of me dropping it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
I would honestly ditch this DVP and get Optimus7.

It turned out to be a great phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I suggest the Samsung Focus for $350 brand new at AT&T. It's expand to 40GB and has an AMOLED display like the DVP. It doesn't have the hardware KB, though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
Gorilla glass is very rigid. What that means is that it may be extremely scratch resistant, but enough force fast enough (a drop) is enough to break it. Where as other screen material may be less rigid (susceptible to scratches), but has a higher elasticity point, requiring more force to break.

So it is a tradeoff. If you never drop your phone, Gorilla Glass is the way to go.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Those videos are nice but they really are making people way too liberal with how they handle these phones. The primary use for Gorilla glass is to minimize scratches, not make the screen shatter proof or even really really shatter resistant.

Especially once you get above 3.5" these touchscreens become trivial to spiderweb on trivial drops.

Blackberries and other QWERTY devices (like eSeries) are dropped religiously but you don't see that many of them spiderwebbing, even though they don't use Corning Gorilla Glass :P

However, my niece scratched the screen of her e7x Nokia phone with her press-on nail while typing on the QWERTY keyboard. That's where Gorilla Glass shines.

And I would never replace a DVP with an Omnia 7. Not only is the keyboard worse (and portrait keyboards are imo better than landscape). It's just not as good a device.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Dell has 32GB DVPs on their website for sale, with AT&T Bands as well as T-Mobile Bands.

I would get a DVP over a Focus.

I don't think some people know just how much a good portrait QWERTY keyboard is worth :P You can type twice as fast on that than a landscape slider (way less reach to get to the keys, touch typing becomes trivial after you get used to the layout), and faster than on a software keyboard as well. Plus, it maximizes your screen real-estate.

$350 + how much for a 32GB SD Card that you can be sure won't fail with all your stuff on it at any random time? :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] slight22:
So i decided I like the DVP enough that i'm going to spend another 250 to get Dell to replace it. The only downside to the whole situation now, is getting it shipped up. Last time my friend in the states ordered it for me and they shipped it to him and then to me.

By the time it got to me (including brokerage fees) it was almost 600 bucks, now with the 250 she's cost me more than a 32 gig iphone and I still haven't upgraded the memory. (kinda waiting on a 64gig Micro SD card)

Now when i talked to dell yesterday they were griping about sending it to me in Canada because their computer system wouldn't let them put my address for either my mailing or my billing address. Knowing my luck i'm going to have to get my friend to pay for it again with his american billing address. sigh...

Though I am buying one other thing with it.

I don't want the case to protect it from falling but something with a little more grip to hold on to, the smooth plastic is very slippery.

Hi all,

Just bought a Xoom tablet.

I'm trying to get my laptop to have its files shared from it to the tablet... But haven't had any luck, either the laptop has its limitations or its the tablet itself.

Apart from using wires of course....

Any ideas?

[Vibrant General] magiconthetire:
Just wanted to personally thank all you guys for all the help you gave me with my 7 month run with my Vibrant. It has been the best Android phone I have ever owned and I will surely miss it.

I couldn't pass up a great deal I found on eBay for a dell streak unlocked. The seller mistakenly listed the phone as "Dell Streak Sprint", which obviously was never available for sprint. In the auction, it clearly states "Unlocked for T-Mobile and AT&T". I ended up winning the auction for $203 with free shipping with usb cable, charger, etc. in Excellent condition :):):) I am so excited to try it out as I have lusted after this phone since last summer. I have LUSTED over the 5" screen!

I will indeed miss my Vibrant, but my girlfriend has a Vibrant also, so I can always get my Vibrant fix from that.

I just bought a LG Optimus T off craigslist ($40 bucks lol no joke) rooted it and removed all bloatware etc. It's actually exceeded by expectations as a bottom of the barrel Android phone. Its actually pretty quick despite the little processor I plan on keeping it as my back up cell!

In no means am I trying to sell my phone to anyone here, but it is listed on eBay as we speak. :cool:

I am open to all criticism and/or nice comments ya'll have to say :D

Thanks again XDA for making my Vibrant experience wonderful!!! :cool:

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] silverado9502:
So I did I metamorph to change my 3g icon and when I look through my file managers, whether its astro or root explorer I can't seem to find that file or same icon, iv done a search and it comes up with nothing. But from just looking around I can find different 3g icons but not the one I'm running. So I guess my question is, is there a way to find it or get rid of the morph I did?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] N-Forced:
Metamorph applies the image to the apk itself so the only way to view the file or revert back to what you had, you will either have to download and decompile the apk or reflash the previous apk to revert back.
