[Desire General] Random User69:
Hey guys,

I'm looking at upgrading from the desire to a level up. Possibly the Incredible S or maybe the samsung optimus black.

Just wondering if you think the Incredible is a good way to go because I rooted my Desire with the greatest of ease, however, the other two I've been looking at seem to be more of a challenge. Don't get me wrong, I like a challenge :P But I want to be able to just flat out root *snicker* and then just flash different ROMs to see which I like the best.

Also, it's quite surprising that I had such an easy time rooting the desire. Basically because what I've read in the forums about needing radio, HBOOT's etc. Just to give you an idea, I only just rooted few weeks ago and these are the stats on a year old phone:-

Telstra branded (Only evidence of that left is a logo before bootanimation, which I would absolutley love to get rid of if anyone can help)

BRAVO PVT1 S-ON

HBOOT 0.93

RADIO 5.17.05.23 (flashed this straight after I rooted)

running Cyanogenmod 7.0.3(recently flashed nightly build#88)

Basically, I used Unrevoked to root (also had to get a driver to use that bleh!)

With ROMs that people are discussing that they need PVT3 or 4 I have been able to use on this one(flashed multiple ROMs and found I like Cyanogen the best)

Even if you have suggestions other than the ones I'm looking at let me know. Main interest in these two is because of the cameras.

Oh... and if you wanna flame, be my guest cause I've probabkly made it obvious that I'm a noob at this point lol :P

Any opinions are appreciated to say the least :)

If I open SDK what do I have to do? please help me out. I could be just missing something right in front of me but I don't see it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zepius:
navigate to the install path of the android SDK in the command prompt, then go to into the platform-tools folder

in windows 7, the default install path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools

then you just need to run the commands.

Rooting was easy for me but unrooting I just couldnt get it and needed someone to explain in less detail lol. You"ll get the hang of it and ask questions when needed. I did and everyone has been very helpfull. I found a one click option for root and it worked well. I unrooted and am looking for a new Rom as I didnt like the one I installed.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnny quest:
I rooted my Eris way back and forgot how, but now with the Thunderbolt I want to make sure I know what I'm doing step by step. I loaded the sdk and eclipse but still loading the plugin's, tools and that takes forever. I don't know what I need as far as SDK, I feel as if I'm loading just about everything so I know nothing won't go wrong or won't say that I'm missing something.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnny quest:
I'm doing the root set up like the one on the videos, I have a question b4 connecting my phone and starting: can I do a nandroid back of my phone in case of failure to root I can refer back to my stock?
[Thunderbolt General] chayesfss:
Same with stock 2.2 and bamf gb. Volume seems much weaker than my previous droid, droidx and evo?
[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
I don't think it's weak. I can hear the ringer when I am 2 floors above the phone in my house, music is nice and loud too, no complaints here. Although I know that others say the same thing as you, but for me personally, I think it's fine.
[Thunderbolt General] davidbudd1:
I agree the volume is very weak. I am coming from an original droid and the volume on that was nice and loud. Never had a problem hearing the ringer, music or movies on it. Now with the TB I constantly have the volume turned all the way up and still can't hear it sometimes.
[Thunderbolt General] ajlawson:
I thought this too. My wife was complaining her TB volume wasn't loud, so we tested it against my Eris and the Eris was drowning out her TB
[Thunderbolt General] crazed_z06:
Yea, the volume sucks.
[Thunderbolt General] superchilpil:
I have an app called volume+ its bad@$$ and works great bit you have toto be on.ginger for it to work

>--The Game--<
[Thunderbolt General] chayesfss:
didn't do anything for me? I'm on bamf gb too
[Thunderbolt General] omniskye:
i'm running stock.

and i actually think the volume is quite loud. music plays pretty loudly, especially with kickstand out for the speaker. in fact, i turn it all the way down during a call, and people next to me can still pretty much hear the entire conversation (when holding the phone up to ear).
[Thunderbolt General] chayesfss:
Hmm, I typically use mine with a headphone connection to my stereo or speakers.
[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
Are you saying that when it plays through an external source that it isn't loud enough?
[Thunderbolt General] x8turbo4x:
yes i think they may be talking about external sound.. i came from droid 1 and its much louder i think than the TB either way idc cause its still louder than all my friends iphones hehe.
[Thunderbolt General] badboyg200:
volume flat out isnt good at all... motorola droid 1 was wayyyyyy louder than this.. I shouldnt have to install Volume +.. Even though I already have it, didnt make that much of a difference.
[Thunderbolt General] qman66:
yea for those of u wanting louder volumes get volume+. works amazing. requires gingerbread though
[Thunderbolt General] chayesfss:
I installed it but it doesn't seem to do much?

And trying to talk with this thing on my car dock with the headphones hooked into the speaker?

Droid 1 and droid x were much better?
[Thunderbolt General] luniz7:
Yes the volume is subpar when using headphones...it really sucks ass
[Thunderbolt General] cstrife999:
No not at all. In fact I think it's one of the louder devices. Might wanna make sure your media volume is up. I find that everything sounds weaker if media volume is down.
[Thunderbolt General] nosympathy:
I run CM7 personally and under the CM Settings change the sound volume to 10dB and it makes the phone so loud at the store I am at that everyone turns to look lol. Work in a 58,000 square foot retail store.
[Thunderbolt General] Fadingintofall:
Comparing it to an og droid is kind of silly. Droid has one of the loudest external speakers. I find the tbolts speakers to be... A bit low, but not too bad. I generally have my phone on vibrate, and use headphones with music/ video, which seem fine to me.

That's just lame....

I'm thinking that when the OTA for the Moment came out going from 1.5 to 2.1, there were a few later updates that added some features. ie v.CL14 to v.DI06 to v.DI18 to finally v.DJ07.

How an OS update wouldn't have an updated version of Sense, when we KNOW 2.1 works on these phones is baffling

-HTC sense 3.0 lockscreen

-HTC sense 3.0 messaging app

- HTC sense 3.0 USB modes

[Windows Phone 7 General] t0adman:
So what is MS's equivalent to Google Navigation?
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Thanks for the tip Peew971.

I tried it, unfortunately it does not work in France. Not at all.

Whatever the provider it says "Unable to find the route". :(

On the contrary Turn-By-Turn Navigation by GPS Tuner works great. Fantastic :)

But I would be glad if GPS Navigation worked because it uses Google Maps, whereas Turn-By-Turn Navigation uses exclusively the terrible Bing Map.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jogabonitos:
6 pounds it's qouite expensive.

I tried at least 3 navigations in Poland and none of them was working.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nidave:
I emailed navigon about having ther ofline system on wp7. I used it when I had the iPhone. Loved it as I do a bit of travelong with work and it kept everything together in one place. Got a rely saying they are testing a version. Will post the email tomorrow when i am at the pc.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
I tested both T-B-T and GPS Voice today. Unfortunately, neither of them are really close to perfect.

Some of the UI elements of GPS Voice are much nicer (such as the larger, clearer turn icons, and the way it retains the previous route on the map as a ghosted image if it needs to reroute), but it did a very poor job of actually routing me, opting for slow residential streets instead of faster, wider roads, even when neither option represented a longer or shorter distance. Also, it seemed to get VERY confused at at least one intersection. I was stopped, waiting to make a turn, and it kept alternating between "turn right now" and "go straight for 1 miles" for the entire time I was waiting (about 2 minutes). It was very annoying. And I am not sure why, but it did not display or speak any partial mile instructions. Everything below 1 mile was directed in feet, such as "turn right in two thousand, six hundred and forty feet", instead of what I would expect, which would be more like "turn right in one half mile".

I'm sure it will improve over time, but right now GPS Voice is not a real choice for me.

T-B-T, while its UI isn't as flashy, did a better job of navigating, although it did miss some obvious chances to find shorter routes than the one it chose. And I'm not sure (I need to do some more tests), but it seemed to eat up my battery like candy. Part of that may be due to me leaving the screen on more than I needed to, but it may also be polling the GPS more than it needs to. On the other hand, it worked flawlessly under the lock screen (unlike GPS Voice), and the timing of its turns was always spot on.

I might purchase T-B-T, if for no other reason than to encourage future development and enhancement.

Neither of these apps can hold a candle to AT&T Navigator right now (POI destinations, 3D view, spoken street names, flawless route planning in the 3 years that I've used it, etc), but then I suppose that is to be expected, considering its $10/month cost. Whether they will catch up only time will tell.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Titus_Andronicus:
Automotive style GPS apps are not built to save batteries. They assume you are plugged into your car's DC power outlet.

I have been using Turn By Turn, and so far like it. May buy it, but seems silly when Bing Navigation will appear in 4ish months.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
OK, first, I'm not an idiot. I know how GPS navigation apps are designed to work. On a long trip, using a car charger would be an obvious necessity. But it should NOT be a necessity for a cross-town round trip.

And second, my comment was based on comparing the behavior of T-B-T to AT&T Navigator on the same phone. I have used Navigator for trips lasting well over an hour, without using the car charger, with no unusual battery drain. T-B-T, on the other hand, appeared to eat between 10-15% in a 15 minute trip. Again, I need to confirm this, and it may be that some of the drain came from having the display on for the first half of the trip, but it still seemed excessive, even for a GPS app.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sumdumdude:
I felt the same way, about waiting for Bing maps with navigation, but I think spending $5 for months of turn by turn navigation is a pretty good deal. If Bing navigation is better I won't feel like I wasted money, but if Turn by Turn is continually improved I may just keep using it instead.
[Thunderbolt General] skeet43169:
I was wondering with the screen being so brought even turned all the way down. What colors consume the most power? light or dark
[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
For an LCD I believe it is darker colors, where on the AMOLED screens the lighter colors take up more power.

Does it really require that much more power, where it makes a difference in battery life, I don't think so.
