[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jandyman:
I hope your right as I'm planning to buy a desireZ soon!

Well yeah we do have the 2nd gen processor but afaik the problem was internal memory (ROM) that gingerbread and sense could not both fit. Do the desireZ/g2 have more internal memory then original desire?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craiglay:
They specifically quote RAM (EDIT: Incorrect) which is the same amount as us. The chipset will also use some of the 512MB we have. Could be tight...

[EDIT] No, reading more into it, its ROM [/EDIT]

We have 1GB more ROM that the Desire though.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craiglay:
If you read some of the posts on the HTC Facebook page, while understandably there is a lot of anger, people are quoting unreasonable comments.

Its a brilliant advert to XDA Developers on there at the moment, but its worth thinking that most of the XDA community ROMS are severely hacked around to work. Most Sense ROMS require EXT3 partitions on SD cards to function. You'll need a pretty quick SD card for that to work.

Also, the Wildfire S is compared which is a device released a year after with Gingerbread specially written for it. It also has much newer hardware inside it!

To be honest (and I'll be flamed beyond belief for this) they really should be grateful HTC tried to upgrade it. They'd be a bit more p***ed off if HTC released it and it was rubbish, or just ignored it saying buy a newer device. In my opinion, HTC should now issue an unlocked bootloader for people to more easily install 3rd party ROMS (along with "break it you're on your own"). This will restore some confidence in HTC's upgrade schedule.

Still Waiting for GB on our DZ ( also, Polaris running stock GB :) ),

Ok so may be I'm just panicking but I got my infuse last night. I drained it to 0 and charged over night. Since the morning I've used a bunch of SMS, emails and what's app. And its 1pm and after a reboot battery us at 7%. What the hell? Is it just me or that's how this phone is??
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
It's just you and the battery life should get better over the next few days as well.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] junooni.1980:
So I should replace the set??
[Samsung Infuse 4G] shadow65781:
No just use it. In a few days it will get better, but if you want iphone battery life You'll have to get an iphone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mariusvt:
My battery easily lasts all day if all I do is check/send emails, texts/chat, and play some games. Even when I stream iheartradio from a full charge in the morning it will be about 30-40% remaining by 12-1pm (4-5hrs of streaming) on top of email/texts/chat. I bring my charger to work because I tend to stream radio all day and no battery is up to that task for 8 or so hours a day. Battery life kills my iphone3g which was ready for the charger by 10:30-11am doing the same stuff.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
Why would you drain a lithium ion battery down to zero?

Sent from my Infuse 4G
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bradbusa:
for the record this phone gets better battery life than either of my iphones did
[Samsung Infuse 4G] abudabu:
I've had the same experience you have had. It's 4:00 pm my time and I'm down to 5%. It's been charged all night and was taken off the plug today morning. Made a few phone calls, surfed the web for a bit, gps, bluetooth, wifi are all OFF. Texted on regular messaging and kik messanger for a bit. Skyped my brother on wifi for 3 mins.

From experience, when I did more than this, on my iPhone 4 I'd barely be at 50% by now.

Battery is an issue with this phone for sure. I don't know if it's a bad batch (as some have mentioned) or just general Infuse behavior. I'm giving this phone another week and if it doesn't improve, I'm going to sell this.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mariusvt:
Check your settings, make sure there aren't things constantly updating in the background. That will drain your battery like you guys seem to be experiencing. Also if you are using high screen brightness, good by battery this puppy with the 4.5" screen eats battery.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] vilimmarijan:
Itll get better in about a week, thats how mine was.

Keep Wi-fi off in the status bar when your not using it and keep GPS off, those 2 helped my battery life tremendously.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dxtra:
A few tips before u jump to conclusion and start blaming the phone battery. Take in consideration - running services, auto sync, bad apps not letting phone going in to deep sleep, pressing the home button instead of back button to close apps, lots of Widgets, live wallpaper, having brightness to high, using navigation, games and so on ect ect. These are things that will shorten your battery life. I'm not saying not to use your phone but if you can, keep to minimum unnecessary stuff. BTW I get a full day with heavy used with no auto sync only Gmail, no unnecessary background service, GPS off and ones in a blue I use a task killer. I had 3 android phones and by far the Infuse had the best battery life.
[HTC Sensation] touchee:
Coming from the HD2 I had hoped for a big improvement in GPS lock times. It is better but not amazing. Compared it today to my son's ZTE Blade and his was way faster. Disappointing!

Anyone else feel the GPS is nothing special? Could be something to do with the Vodafone mods I guess...
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
I'm very interested in this topic. I'm struggling mightily with my Galaxy S right now trying to walking navigate a big city. It's consistently off by at least a block in location and the compass is totally worthless. Phone has frozen solid twice, with the required 5 minute reboot to get going again. Major PIA. I'm really hoping the Sensation will solve this problem.

Any GPS experiences you can post will be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] ark2612:
I bought my fiance the Vibrant at launch so I definitely have felt the pains of a horrible GPS on a phone. That said, the Tmo version's GPS has been real, real good. It's even performed pretty solid downtown here in Chicago.

Now are there better GPS units in phones out there? Possibly. But for what you are using it for and the phone you are coming from, you will definitely be happy with this feature.
[HTC Sensation] phoenx06:
I didn't own a HD2, so I can't compare, but my Sensation locks in less than 10 seconds. I don't think that is very bad at all.
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
I have owned almost all high end android devices for T-Mobile and the Sensation/MT4G have the quickest GPS locks by far. My Sensation locks in less than 4 seconds and my MT4G is a little quicker but both are great! Compared to my G2x which takes more than

FIVE MINUTES

to lock!! :mad:
[HTC Sensation] touchee:
The test I did today between the ZTE Blade and the HTC Sensation used the GPS Status app.

Basically I switched both on at the same time (they had both locked previously and had downloaded the AGPS data) and simply watched the time to the first fix.

ZTE Blade would get a warm lock in 2 seconds

HTC sensation would get the warm lock in about 10 seconds

Indoors by a window the gap was more pronounced between the two devices. I feel the sensation is struggling a bit, and indoors it shows more, as the Blade coped much better with the weaker signal and fewer satellites.

Interestingly when both were locked outside and with a clear view of the sky, the Blade would show 8 or 9 satellites whereas the Sensation would only sometimes (very occasionally) have this number, more often just 6.

I have also observed that even when the Sensation has, say 5, satellites with green bars it still takes several seconds to process the info and finally display position. With the Blade, once it gets about 4 green bars, it's straight there with a position.

Weird. I think it may be something to do with the UK units as there is a gps.conf.vodafone in /etc/ so that implies some messing around by them. But the difference between that and the gps.conf in /etc/ seems to simply be the choice of NTP server (ie. north america or europe).
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Appreciate the responses.

A quick lock is definitely good, but what matters even more to me is accuracy and direction. Is the compass reliable, and is your actual location shown on the map closer than 100ft?

If I can't use it in a strange city to get my bearings and navigate on foot it's a deal killer.

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
My G2X gets a instant lock and is accurate to less than 10 feet.
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
I had three different G2x NONE of them locked that fast. I'm not talking about using some dumb gps status app I mean real world navigation to a destination. I enter the address and it starts giving VOICE directions...sensation is much faster than g2x in that aspect
[HTC Sensation] ark2612:
I'm averaging 3-10 meters depending on situations.
[HTC Sensation] touchee:
I use MMTracker to read OSGB 1:25000 UK maps and the positional accuracy is very good on both the Sensation and the Blade. GPS Status reports very similar grid positions too on both devices.

I've never really found the reported error in GPS Status to be that relevant or accurate. But when using a map overlay (eg. Google or MemoryMap) the position seems very good in relation to the known map position.

Using the Sensation in the car with Sygic it copes well, with occasional loss of signal, but nothing to worry about.

Overall I'm very pleased with the Sensation. But I can't help feeling it's not that sensational. It's great hardware, but leaves me disappointed software-wise, when I consider what I can do with my HD2. If it gets rooted and then that's another story. If it doesn't I shall probably sell it and stay with my HD2. I'm giving it a month to test .:)
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Same. Gps locks very fast

Swyped from my HTC Sensation Pyramid using my thumb and eyes
[HTC Sensation] leftheodo:
Off topic guys but witch navigation apps are you using on the sensation. Cause i've tried igo, navigon and sygic and all of them have prroblems with Sensation's resolution. Thanks and sorry for my english
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
I use Google maps but I'm in the USA
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Well I'm talking real world too. When I open google maps. My GPS icon locks instantly. I don't have any bugs on my G2X but I know plenty of people who got multiple buggy units. I'm not the only one with a G2X who had a great GPS. It's honestly the best GPS on a phone I've ever used.
[HTC Sensation] moshe22:
Lol dude, In a way you are like me.

When you have something you defend it.

When you had the G2x you would defend that phone like crazy. Now that you have sensation it sounds like you see the G2x like a piece of crap.

[HTC Sensation] jh787:
I am using co-pilot and my sensation took about 45 seconds for first lock when taken out of the box and subsequent locks take about 10-15 seconds.

Not quite as good as my HTC Desire but still fast
[HTC Sensation] zahashingo123:
Gps is very fast

Gives good directions on the highway at about 60mph
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
I never defended the G2x that phone sucked I never made it a full day using it I would always pop my sim card back into my MT4G running cm7 ...and there is no way that his gps is that fast on his the g2x. forums are full of people complaining about the gps on that POS phone...he's saying his ICON appears LOL type in an address in the navigation app and see how long it takes before it starts giving VOICE COMMANDS and turn by turn directions. it will display "waiting for route / searching for gps" for a few MINUTES on the G2x
[HTC Sensation] ark2612:
I obviously jinxed myself with the GPS. The past day here in Chicago I can't get closer than a 500 meter lock. It was previously working perfectly with quick, accurate locks.

Any ideas?

I just ordered an oem car dock for my gf's Droid x and forgot to research if she will still be able to use the 3.5mm jack to stream Pandora to her car's stereo. I can't seem to find out on Google anyone know for sure?
[Droid X Accessories] sjmoreno:
Yes, it's what I do and it works fine.
[Droid X Accessories] sfreemanoh:
You can use Bluetooth, USB (which then also streams song info), or 3.5mm.
[Droid X Accessories] hawk196:
If its the official motorola dock then yes it should be fine. Mine even came with the cable to hook out up
[Droid X Accessories] xformulax:
yep, includes the cable, and the dock even routes the cable back behind the phone/dock so it's not just hanging around.
[Droid X Accessories] stayin100:
I got burned... The Amazon add had a picture of a Droid X oem mount, and what I got was a droid 1 A855 oem mount. Brand new none the less, but still not for her phone. I see that there piece that the phone attaches to the mount is a plate that slides into two t channels, is there anyway to order just the Droid X piece? Or will i have to get another mount? I'm gonna go to a Corporate Store next time, Amazon has burned me for the last time. I can't seem to find my conformation email, but i went to overstock's site and it seems as though they don't really do returns anyways.

Belkin Aircast Bluetooth Kit

If you don't have a bluetooth enabled car stereo this bluetooth kit may be useful for you. The kit comes with a 3.5mm connector you plug into your car stereo's auxilliary port and then pair with your Droid X and play mp3s or Pandora on the phone and hear it through your car's speakers. It also doubles as a hands-free phone kit so you can make calls and hear the other person on the car's speakers and the kit comes with a microphone that isolates your voice pretty well.

This kit made the car dock for my Droid X WAY more useful.

Car dock with case?

I got the Platinum case from bestbuy which I like so far, but the issue is that I can't find a car dock that fits the phone without taking the cover off.

Does anyone know of a solution?

Thanks,
[Droid X Accessories] pattielipp:
when/if you get the car mount be careful of phone temps. if she has gps running, music, and god knows whatever else and it's under the sun the phone will get very hot very fast... which can cause serious issues.

[P3470 ROM Development] zonetrichur:
i have the files/steps to flash pharo p3470.steps as below

1. Transfer the extracted files (JumpSPL.exe & Pharos_JumpSPL.nb) to your device and execute.

2. Use 0x10000000 as Jump Address.

3. After getting the Open File Dialog, press [Camera] & [Power] like you are going to enter Boot Loader, then tab on the Pharos_JumpSPL.nb file (Pharos_JumpSPL.nb).

You will get the grey background screen, you can flash any ROM to your device at this point.

In some case, you may need to unplug and then plug the USB cable again.

4. If you wanted to permanently unlock your device, why not, simply flash it with the HardSPL once and you are done.

After HardSPL, you will notice your SPL version change when boot;

From SPL 1.11.0001

To SPL 1.11Mobiz

Recommended:

""""""" To make it easier, I recommend changing Button 3 (Camera) to <None> or the Camera may disturb you"""""

did not understand above sentence

-so can not flash-help me

[Xoom General] davidebeatrice:
Hi all.

Im really angry about Euro 3g xoom update.

Motorolas behaviour is unbelievable.

No support for update. No support at all. They says to me they dont knoe when 3.1 update will be avaiable.

Asus released 2 weeka ago the update for is device.

So...the only hope it someone building 3.1 rom for 3g euro devices...
[Xoom General] andyiacovou:
Moto have said the update will now be released in August! All we can do is wait and see....

Sent from my Xoom 3G
[Xoom General] PhantomTHK:
Are you sure about August? This really sucks :(

What is wrong with Motorola or google, why must we wait so long?
[Xoom General] madpete:
Bugger that, in that case I'll be ditching this thing. Moto's support is shockingly bad.
[Xoom General] andyiacovou:
I hear you, ive had the UK Xoom since April and ive been through all the stages....shock, anger, dissapointment and now acceptance :)

Some point to Google being the problem, but I suspect its Motorola and their distain for anything outside the US. I wont be buying their products again.

As an interim measure I suggest using a 3rd party launcher such as ADW or Launcher Pro. have found the Xoom to be much more stable and a pleasure to use with these great apps. 3.01 is frankly a disgrace.
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
i know you are talking about the 3g version, but i have the wifi and thought exactly the same, I was reluctant for moto in the first place but thought if google were pulling the strings of updates it wouldn't be so bad.

in the end i flashed the us wifi rom and got 3.1 in a few minutes...

it is pretty poor... a few languages to be added in and maybe a tweak here and there and job done - but noooo
[Xoom General] markdudier:
I'm also angry and disappoint. The hardware of Xoom is really good, but the customer service is really horrible if you are non US. I think this will be my first & last Motorola product I will have (unless its for free).
[Xoom General] alias_neo:
To be honest, I quit giving a ****, I wont get rid of it but moto is on the list of people with **** customer service not to buy from again. There is nothing I hate more than big companies who will take all your money then screw you.
[Xoom General] burden010:
Like Lothaen I have the Wifi only and upgraded to the US image and 3.1. It's great but that doesn't excuse the fact that Moto are holding back the 3.1 update outside the US. When I ordered the Xoom it was my impression that it would be a Google Experience device. That's not the case if you're outside the US.

Don't get me wrong, I love this thing... I just think Moto could be doing a better job.
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
same - love it, hate Moto now... and I used to love their phones too...

I added them to the similar list as Comet - although comet still beat Moto for me... I'll definitely avoid buying anything that could go wrong from them again... TV/vacuum etc. - nothing that has the potential to be repaired by them...

and nothing that may require update/support from Moto

[Android Apps and Games] Tricky-Design:
I've played it a couple of times now but i'm missing the graphics. Especially the menu's and dialog boxes are very simple. I think you should split up the games and put more effort in tease the players with what they could achieve.

Block tactics: Fun game.

I miss a feature to quickly reset all blocks. Looks are simple but good.

Jumper: Another fun game

It would be nice if you could start the level by pressing the screen. When you get to level 10+ it is annoying that it starts and get killed so quickly.

Bubble Burst: I don't like those kind game very much so no comments.

Doggy Toss: Fun game but gets old very fast.

The angle and fire button likes to be disabled with the grey colors. A bright color would make it more obvious to use those buttons.

Helicopter:

Because the game play is easy it should look very nice but the level is very simple looking with just blocks. Maybe it is the look that it had originally but I think if it looked better it becomes more interesting to play.

Blob ball:

Started at round 2 after downloading. Funny game

Two other things:

Wake lock would be nice.

I don't know if it is a bug but I didn't expect the way it works; If you go to your account and then press back to go back to the main menu, the application is killed.

Great job for sure!
