I don't agree with this at all. Just because a phone OS is new to the market doesn't mean it should be lacking features that have been in other phones for years before. It happened with iphone, it happened with Android, and its happening with WP7. What if a new OS doesn't have a redial feature? Would that be okay since the first mobile phone didn't have it?

People are quick to excuse manufacturers for not including basic things like copy pasting or video recording, when they could have easily implemented them from the start without having to break their development budget.
[Trophy General] dreamcaster012:
So you're not happy with your purchase then?
[Trophy General] Tarima:
I like my phone, but I don't think I would have when Android first came out.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] brunswick000:
Has anyone on here been able too see the new movie rental option in the Market? Ive been reading about it, and ive got to say im interested. Although Im not if I might prefer a monthly flat rate fee like NetFlix. Google's cloud service is a definite advantage though. Sounds interesting, and I for one am glad there is another way to stream / download movies too our big screens.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] cjoker:
I'll second that
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] electroshadow:
i had not looked for it as i read that rooted devices were been blocked from using it.....?:confused:
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] brunswick000:
Ya ive read tge gossip concerning rooted devices, but so far from what i read its still speculative. I hope its not true. Either way im pretty confident in the android dev community and their abilities to find a work around.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jaitken0308:
I've got an Eris running GingerShedBread 1.9. I'm about to update to the newest version of GSB (3.4 I think), but I've got a question.

I've got a TI Backup, and I've been told that it backs up EVERYTHING, all apps, and that when you flash a new rom, you can flash the backup over it and it will reload your apps.

So if I do this, is there any need to flash the gapps thing since all the apps will be there?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Seanzle:
Titanium doesn't work reliably

I use appmonster pro to backup/restore apps, which includes market links so I get new updates. It has batch install too, from SD or market. It's only $2.99 in the market.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam_loco:
hi,

i have the 2.1 version, my Desire HD is Factory Unlocked T-Mobile i bought it from the USA, i am currently in Lebanon Middle East , and i havent been notified about the update, everytime i check via the HTC, it displays a message that there are currently no updates.

any thoughts ?

Thank you
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Try entering the following code to your dialer *#*#873283#*#*

It forces the phone to look after the updates - if it does not find anything, then no idea.

You might wanna post in the Desire HD forum - you'll get more help there
[Galaxy Tab General] sukru:
Hello,

I recently got the AT&T SGT, and flashed it with the Overcome_v2.0.0_BETA2 firmware. I'm using Turkish as the language.

I was never able to get YouTube application run properly. The search option fails at every try.

I can play videos correctly. Also I can search on Google, and follow a link to play in the app. Thus it probably is not a network issue.

The error I get is:

"Ag ile ilgili bir sorun olustu [400]" Which means "There has been a problem with the network [400]" And retry button does not help.

The version seems to be 2.1.6. Could there be an incompatibility with Turkish language setting?

Btw, YES - It does work on English (US) :) But I need Turkish. The device is not for myself.
[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:
hey guys was wandering if there was a way of flashing the kernel using fast boot or a kernel manager

i tried packing it with one of the roms but keep hanging on htc screen....is there no way of running logcat on the htc screen or a log for info

using ubuntu 64bit

thjanks in advance
[HTC Desire S] Dr.Romca:
can't you flash kernel as a ROM? via recovery update? I think BlaY0 in the Legend section managed to do that ;) you can consult him :)
[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:
thx will try

i can flash via bootloader using the pg88img.zip method... gna recompile it as keep gettin stuck on htc screen
[HTC Desire S] Dr.Romca:
Is it only some files you need to rewrite in the system or do you need anything else done?

LBC has offered his update-dummy file - a flashable .zip - not to be unzipped and rezipped, that doesn't work for some reason... HERE

If you need to copy files, change permissions etc, you can consult this guide or this one on how to write Edify updater-script... that should get you rollin' :)
[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:
well at the moment im flashin the kernel using kitchen to decompile rom and recompile but jus wandering how i can push the wireless driver to phone as im gettin wifi errors but is loading tho :D

actually think i can sort by simply adding driver before compilin lol need some sleep hehe

will try adding smartass and simple overclock for larter
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
I think your referring to the bcm file?

Just use a recovery flash, im actually at work so cant really attach one as an example.

Or if it boots up use root explorer to copy your file to system\etc\modules and set the permissions correctly, reboot into rec and delete dalvik cache.

Hope this helps..
[HTC Desire S] chwads2k8:
thanks for the help guys.. iv got it working with wifi although im using ur rom mary hope u dont mind. jus addin modules before compilin then flashin whole rom

got wireless working jus gna make some final touches later n hopefuly have a relase build rdy thanks guys for all the help
[HTC Desire S] xd.bx:
Hi,

Is the boot.img load address correct? iirc it is 0x04400000 for the desire S/

Ive got an update coming tonight, fingers crossed as im at work at the moment and i think figured the bug i had.

Looking forward to the kernel :)
[Droid 2 General] mkw87:
I woke up last week and started using my phone to check email/twitter and everything was fine at first, then all of a sudden the screen filled with vertical lines:

The notification bar area still works. I've tried pulling battery, SBF, nothing works. When booting the screen stays black, but you can see the notification bar area is a different color black. The screen is not cracked, the phone wasn't dropped to make this happen, it just happened out of the blue. Any ideas?
[Droid 2 General] jediman:
Almost looks to me like the GFX chipset fried.

I've seen this on desktops and laptops in the past.

Is it under warranty still?
[Droid 2 General] SuperDeform:
Or maybe the lcd cable needs to be fixed

[Atrix 4G General] hgn842001:
Hello All,

I have the Atrix on GB 3.5 with added mod for Arabic language support.

I have recently noticed that the email titles in my Gmail's email list are truncated at a specific point and a phrase "Forgot Password?" is added after all titles.

The titles show correctly on the email view itself on the phone and is Ok on a PC everywhere.

Any thoughts or suggestions?!

Thanks in advanced ...

[Atrix 4G General] hgn842001:
Wow ... Really ... there is not a soal to give a small comment or offer some help?!
[Atrix 4G General] prscarp:
I wish I could help, but the only advice I have is have you tried re-adding you account? You could also try k-9 Mail from the market, I love that email app
[Atrix 4G General] hgn842001:
Hey ... thanks!

I will give that a try that.

Since actually that gmail is the main account it doesn't let remove and me re-add.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
so im really debating on this.

Infuse or iPhone 4?

im kind of stuck in the middle...

my main issue with this is the GPS...

and IOS seems to be more composed...

what do you all think?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Papi4baby:
I got the infuse coming from 3GS, my plan was if the infuse did not work out go to the iphone 4.

But everything is looking good for me on the infuse. If the next iphone does have a bigger screen i will switch to it right away. iOS is just too smooth to compare.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
I really really love android...

but iOS is more composed...

i just idk i got to 8 pm to decide.

android is more hackaable you know...

im right in the middle.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
did you swap the infuse out yet? i can tell you some new gps settings to try as well. you need to get into lbs test mode though. you dont need root for this so it wont void anything.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
nope still have it here. can you pls PM me so i can try them or post them or something
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
Yes?

No?

????????????????????

D: i need the settings ASAP to try it out.

anybody else have them?

no. some settings that im supposed to change to see if my GPS works better.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] chvybeatsford:
Did u look in the captivate section AMD try what they use. Also if u do bring it back ask if they can let u try another on. go out side and test GPS rite then and there...u may just have a bad unit.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] lost2030:
I had the iPhone 4 for almost a month...it was nice, but very limited unless jailbroken. I switched to Android and didn't look back! I got the Infuse today and I don't seem to have gps issues. It doesn't connect instantly but it's pretty damn close to my position even though I'm inside my house.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] atekk920:
I am also an iphone convert...iphone is a great platform with its own perks. But i prefer android, there is alot more options for customizing and functionality, however my personal experience has been that android is a bit more buggy than ios. Of course with a few tweeks here and there android can be fixed right up....ios just works.

There is also the issue of software updates, not all android devices get software updates, when apple rolls out an update everyone gets it. Its really an issue of personal preference. To me the androids pros outweigh the cons
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
yeah im going to go switch out my Infuse for a new one.

Just how accurate is you alls GPS?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] chvybeatsford:
I get 10meters almost within 15sec... if outside ... Did u ever look at my track I posted? There should be 2 once u click the link.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] nstong:
I've been playing around lbs test and some good settings would be very useful. Does anybody have a link to what's best, or one of the people who say they get a 10m lock in seconds want to share their settings?

I am also coming from a 3GS. There is definitely more tweaking to get stuff the way you want. I wouldn't downplay the customizability of the iPhone after you jailbreak though. I also still have found good substitutes for tlert and intelliscreen. Over all I like the phone, and I think the 4g is worth it, although if I wasn't on xda and competent with technology I wouldn't recommend it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] chvybeatsford:
Im using stock settings.never even went into lbd test mode. Straight out the box settings.

Infuse all day .

Samsung infuse 4G
[Samsung Infuse 4G] timmillah:
I have had every iphone that has come out at one point or another , and while I have nothing really negative to say about it (other than the 3.5" screen), I always keep coming back to Android. The main reason I end up going back to iPhones are because of their superior battery life (except against the infuse, battery life has been A+). It really all depends on you and what your preferences are. Do you want your phone to "just work"? Or do you want to be able to customize it to your liking? Add features that the carrier/manufacturer failed to add? Do you want the ability to play flash videos?

To me, the 3.5" screen and lack of flash are the ONLY two real reasons that I'm not on an iPhone right now. I'm 6'4, 274 lbs and I need a big phone. I gave my wife my iPhone 4 whenever I got my Inspire, and tried to play with it now that I have the Infuse and it feels like a toy. I couldn't text.

As far as GPS issues are concerned, I don't have any with the Infuse. I've made a quick video to show what my GPS lock looks like, from within my house, after restarting the phone. From the time I click maps, it takes about a total of 20 seconds INDOORS to get a 10meter lock. It immediately finds me within 60meters. My actual MIO gps sometimes takes 1-2 minutes to find a lock outdoors. If that's why you're wanting to return the phone, IMO, it's a mistake. Even if GPS is very important to you, just open the map a minute or two before you get ready to go wherever it is you're getting ready to go.

I'm new so it wont let me post the link to the video.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy97Mw7BHIg so copy/paste the link and remove the spaces.

Infuse later, for now the iphone 4 becuz of the apps
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ohhneill:
Apps

iOS>Android

OS

iOS<Android

I've owned all the iPhones (except the first one) and hopped on the Android train in March. So far I haven't looked back. To me, apps are what make the iPhone and that's enough for a lot of people but I also like tweaking my interface. Even changing the themes and using jailbroken features on the iPhone still gave off the same overall experience. But the deal breaker for me was the screen after having 4+ inch screens with android, going back to a 3.5 was impossible. Also all the main apps I used for iOS were on Android anyways.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] alias3800:
i4

If you need a quick opinion, I'd say iPhone 4. I really wanted to like the infuse, having come from a Captivate a few months ago. The resolution on it kills really disappointed me in person, especially when compared to the iPhone 4. Given that that was the biggest selling point, I was taken aback.

Also, I'd have to (objectively) say that iOS is slightly more mature than android to use as a daily driver. Many different reasons, but that's the quick opinion I'd give.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] b3asty:
Infuse all day errrrday... I also came from a Captivate and have found this Infuse to be perfect in every way. Well.. Let's just say I am 5 days in and still can't put the thing down. Amazing phone. I rooted yesterday and then installed wifi tether. I then proceeded to tether my laptop to it last night and game online from the hotel (on a business trip). The 4G speed is smoking. It truly puts this Marriott wifi to shame. Oh.. and last but not least... that's FREE wifi tether while still retaining my unlimited data package. :-)

[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
haha yeah i got the infuse. surprisingly this one is amazing with the GPS.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AODfan:
Is the GPS still working good?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MartyLK:
The Infuse is a very nice phone. It has a gorgeous 4.5" SAMOLED+ and gorgeous styling and feel. It's a excellent music player...provided you have the high-end IEMs to take advantage of its high-end sound. It has a lot going for it, except updates and the camera. Samsung is notorious for not updating their products and the Infuse is no exception. It desperately needs bug fixing and the goodness of Gingerbread. The camera, though well featured, has poor low-light performance.

The iPhone 4 is superior quality through and through. The build quality, software quality, reliability and simplicity are all first rate. But I have, at least once, experienced a hiccup with the Bluetooth not connecting easily. The camera is the best I've ever used on a smartphone. It takes gorgeous, highly detailed, crisp and clean pictures and has much better low-light performance than the Infuse. But the camera flash sucks to high heaven and can't even be considered a viable flash. The GPS worked on the Infuse quite well. The GPS also seems to work well on my iPhone 4.

Android is much more user friendly than iOS. What I mean by this, and to separate "user friendly" from "simplicity", is as an example, when you turn on the Bluetooth...I use it a lot on all my phones with my Bluetooth speaker for music listening, in Android you can tap one button on a homescreen or elsewhere and activate BT. On the Infuse you have to go into the BT menu to manually make it connect to the desired BT device. But that's how Samsung does things and it's still much more convenient because you can put a shortcut of the BT menu on a screen. On other Android phones, you turn on the BT and it automatically connects to the normally used BT device.

In iOS on the iPhone 4, you have to wade through several menus to get to the BT switch. There is no placing a button or widget on a homescreen to make a shortcut.

That's the difference between user-friendly and simplicity. iOS is much more simple than Android and much more reliable. But Android is much more user-friendly.

I have an iPhone 4 and love it for what it is. I had an Infuse and loved it a lot, even with its bugginess and such. But I returned it because of the failure of AT&T to follow through with providing the Gingerbread update last month. And right now I'd suggest the iPhone 4...if you don't mind being terminally bored with it, unless you can compensate for the boredom with lots of apps and games. Otherwise get an Infuse...or both phones :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Khyrdantai:
Definitely the Samsung Infuse 4G.

I left my iPhone 4 for it, if that helps any.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] AODfan:
Yea i currently have an infuse that i picked up on 08/25 so i still time to return it, i was going to return it today and get another infuse cause this one is having gps issues. I guess i can hang on to it a little longer in hopes the sgs II comes out before then.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Eddie Bombay:
The Infuse, although it has it's bugs, just way more customization. iPhone 4 is way too tiny now.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] timeToy:
Personally I moved from a iPhone4 to an Infuse, the iPhone is not customizable, the stock UI look ugly now, the email and calendar apps are a drag. the only redeeming piece is the size of the App ecosystem. The Infuse is so much better to use, got my work phone and text native on it and my personal phone and text with Google Voice, my Gmail and the company exchange email server. the infuse is basically like having two phone is one ! (and a good camera too, and an excellent sounding iPod with Voodoo sound)
