[EVO Shift 4G General] rhodiggah:
Yup it sounds like the HERO will be a step below the EVOS.
[EVO Shift 4G General] notsointeresting:
+1 too big a step unfortunantley. In the era of 2011 you can't have single core proccesors anymore lol. Only thing I could think to make up for it is if it was the new snapdragon Krait proccessors which are appearently 75% more battery effecient
[EVO Shift 4G General] stormchaser404:
Honestly, I could do with a bit less processing power if it got me a better battery life. To me, battery life is the biggest downfall of Android phones. I just got a 1900mAh battery (slim, no cover needed), we'll see if it makes much difference...fingers crossed.
[EVO Shift 4G General] tokuzumi:
I wouldn't call a 1.2gHz phone crap. It won't be as fast as a dual core, like the 3D, but it will be faster than the shift, and have a larger, higher resolution display, plus Sense 3.0 from the start (I'm assuming this last part, since the resolution is 960x580, or whatever the 3D is). Plus, more ram, and possibly more rom than the shift.

It's nice to see "mid-range" phones with some decent specs, and not really far off from the halo phones. Depending on when I make my next phone purchase, I may get the Galaxy S2. I would really like my next phone to have a Super AMOLED screen.
[EVO Shift 4G General] notsointeresting:
I'm not saying it will be crap at all.

I'm just saying by specs it looks like its taking the same path the original hero did.

And I don't think this will run sense 3.0 personally because when HTC announced it they said on only newer unreleased devices which to them it basically meant dual-core phones so I don't know if they would do it but its possible seeing as how it does have 768 ram (I think) but I'm not going to get my hopes up for Sense 3.0 (stock rom)
[EVO Shift 4G General] rhodiggah:
I'm pretty sure it will be the latest Sense. It is based off the HTC KINGDOM and then some...

Not going to gripe about the single core thing, as long as performance and BATTERY is great. Remember, our Speedy is single core and it's pretty snappy...
[EVO Shift 4G General] :
I have to agree as I said in my earlier post when the seven get their hands on the. Source for the kernel that thing will be pretty snappy.Also it should be released with an unlocked bootloader(speculation and hope on my part) . Nfinite had a port of the leaked Kingdom ruu and it had sense 3.0 in it. I could be wrong but I can see having as much fun as we had on the original Hero. Just my 2 cents
[EVO Shift 4G General] SirRipo:
For those saying the original Hero was crappy hardware, keep in mind it originally wasn't. When the GSM Hero came out, it was a high-end phone. The delay between the GSM Hero and the CDMA Hero is what made the Hero a "crappy" phone.

BTW, I wrote that post, I'd be glad to link you guys to anything new I write up if you'd like.
[EVO Shift 4G General] rhodiggah:
Please do, definitely interested with the rebirth of the HTC HERO!

[Acer Iconia A500] wrongfeifong:
Can someone list down what common issue or problem or even weakness the acer a500 have?

I don't trust android any longer because this is my 3rd android device and there is many issue over how vary machine handle, but i don't want IoS or webOs either.

So i want to know what problems does the a500 usually have before hand, so far i found honey comb have very slow animation and the accelerate meter or whatever that call is either too sensitive or not correct.

I also found that the market app is horrible since it reset the list after i click on an app and back (hopefully can fix with a rom).

Another thing is a500 does not have H264 build in.
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
you know what, there are weaknesses and strangth in every product, Ios, WEBOS, ANDROID, WINDOWS, no software is bugfree.

But if you are really afraid i would suggest you purchase the windows 7 iconia tab.
[Acer Iconia A500] XBoxD00D:
Or better yet, wait for the Windows 8 tablets next year :eek:
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
Weakness:

- Screen, 25ms 256k color, visible grid (with a light and angle and no antiglare shield haha)

- poor plastic painting (cover of sdcard and buttons)

- update slower than other tablets (but is it really a weakness?)

- no real accessories... 1 crappy dock (useless... nothing more added with it).

- GPS .... no really this part could be better

- some unit has been build too quick without QC... wirestrap front of microphone, antena not tight...

well so far I do not see anything else really hardcore...

now 2 things really matter

STRONG, it's duraluminium and that is really a quality

FULL USB, none of the other have it natively :D

voila :D
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
Beside all those little things

the rest is common to ANDROID and many things have been fixed already

when I see the improvement between 3.0.1 and 3.1

I can't wait to see how much will be gone when 4.0 will come :D
[Acer Iconia A500] wrongfeifong:
thanks i just need to know whether it is worth keep it.

I have other android device that have problems after few month later or problems right after warranty even kept perfectly in use.

One of them even die on me without any damage
[Acer Iconia A500] silverball.slayer:
No tablet is without faults and ever single tablet has some kind of issues. It's just whether you can live with those issues or not. I have played with several and list their deficienies:

Xoom:

- Outside of the US and a few other countries, there have been no android updates

- Compatibility issues with some games (not sure why)

- SD card finally enabled in 3.2, but as read only

- SD card can be accidently lost inside the unit

- Charging jack looks fragile and is at the bottom of the unit

+ Charges quickly

+ Strong working GPS, the best of any tablet I have tried

+ Sturdy design

+ Fastboot

+ Good sound, best volume of the tabs I have tried

+ Battery life is very good

+ 2 LED flash for camera

Transformer:

- Flimsier case, easy to flex

- Light bleed in most displays

- Display glass flexes easy if you push on it

- No camera flash

- Cheap build quality

- Poor built in sound

- Speakers not balanced as some report

+ Has Android 3.1

+ GPS seemed to work ok

+ Convenient SD card slot with mounting notifications

A500

- Android 3.1 update MIA, to return whenever

- GPS on some/many units has weak pickup

- The sd card slot door is kind of cumbersome

- Poor microphone pickup on some units

+ Charge jack on the side and L shaped

+ Working USB and r/w sd card

+ Sturdy Design

+ Good sounding

+ 1 LED flash for camera

Some of you people have to get a life. If you can't take the time to look here fore solutions to fix 95% of your problems quit whining. You have the best Tablet on the market. God I/we get tired of this.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
By far the biggest problem the Iconia has, is some of the people who buy it and then monkey with it without knowing what they're doing.

Mine works fine. I didn't even need to do any of the modding for AdHoc wifi as mine seems to pick up any wifi point, including my phones, without any problems at all.

In fact, the ONLY minor niggle I have is the SD card slot COVER. For some reason, mine won't go back in quite right and doesn't sit flush anymore.

The market app was annoying but its resolved in 3.1 :)

[LG Revolution] jegonzo3:
In my building at work, I sit about 30 feet from windows, so I don't get great reception, but at times there will be anywhere from 1-4 bars, but 4G/3G/2x or even 1x is not active and I cannot get a connection. It will drift in and out, but no rhyme or reason to it.

Also, when I do walk to the windows to get better reception when I have the scenario mentioned above, it takes a long time for 4G/3G to come in.

Anyone else have an issue like this?

thanks,

[GT540 Optimus General] EazyLuke:
At one point I had the problem, that I couldn't receive any calls while I was connected to 3G with my GT540. The phone simply wouldn't tell me if I was called. Now many of you seem to have that problem, too.

It happened after upgrading from 1.6 to 2.1.

But apparently LG later fixed this problem with a newer version (V20C) of their 2.1 firmware. I tried it with the French Orange branded one, and my problem was solved. I never missed a call again.

And the good thing is, you can flash this V20C and put a custom ROM on top of that, and the problem is still fixed.

I modified that French V20C to enable fastboot, so you can flash it, then flash a custom ROM via recovery or fastboot, and the problem should be solved! (that's what I did)

BUT, not all C-firmwares work. For example the Baltic V20C was one of the first 2.1 ROMs, and as far as I remember the fix wasn't included in that one. Even the Baltic V20E didn't solve my problem.

But the linked French ROM definatly has the fix.

I think you all know how to flash the kdz, if not, there are enough tutorials for that here on XDA. This would be a good start: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1032744

Here's a good tutorial for flashing the KDZ with 234-150-64 partition size: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1070895

There's no guarantee that this works for you, but as I said, I never missed a single call and had no problems at all with calls after doing this little trick.

I rooted my transformer using this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1125714. It was before the 8.4.4.11 update (which I didn't receive) so that is not what matters. I decided that I will go and flash the prime 1.5 rom and cwm recovery. At first, all I did was just root without even installing clockworkmod recovery, so I am running stock 3.1. Does anyone here recommend using the ClockworkMod 3.1.0.1-solarnz-R3 recovery? I have read that there can be some issues, but those peoples problems might not exactly pertain to me. I don't know If I might have different results.

I just flashed my Xperia Mini Pro with Slade's CM6.01 and everything works well, but when I start installing Titanium Backup, it immediately restarts my phone. Unknown sources is checked btw. I had CM7 working perfectly, but I kinda missed the FM Radio so I switched to CM6.

Perhaps check the bigger card in a normal pc to see what file system is on it?

[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
http://nationaljournal.com/tech/kohl-seeks-to-block-at-t-merger-20110720

Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Wis., who chairs the Senate's Antitrust Subcommitteee, is calling for regulators to block the proposed merger of AT&T and T-Mobile, saying on Wednesday that it would be "highly dangerous to competition and consumers."

Kohl wrote to the Justice Department and the Federal Communications Commission to argue that the merger would concentrate the market too much.

"I have concluded that this acquisition, if permitted to proceed, would likely cause substantial harm to competition and consumers, would be contrary to antitrust law and not in the public interest, and therefore should be blocked by your agencies," he wrote.

The senator's letter provides political cover to the FCC and Justice if they want to either block the proposed $39 billion merger outright or impose stringent conditions. The approval process is expected to last until at least the end of the year.

Kohl noted that cell phones are a daily necessity. “Therefore, in this industry, perhaps more than any other, full and vibrant competition is essential so that all consumers realize the benefits of this technology at the best prices and with the most choices.”

An AT&T spokesman disputed Kohl's assessment.

“We ... feel his view is inconsistent with antitrust law, is shared by few others, and ignores the many positive benefits and numerous supporters of the transaction," the spokesman said.

"This is a decision that will be made by the Department of Justice and the FCC under applicable law and after a full and fair examination of the facts. We continue to believe those reviews will result in approval of this transaction."

AT&T contends that competition will remain vigorous in the wireless industry even after the transaction.

It says that the merger will allow the companies to offer advanced wireless services to almost all Americans. That pledge has helped AT&T make inroads with lawmakers in both parties as it seeks approval of the deal. A group of 76 Democrats wrote to regulators in June saying that the merger may be beneficial to the spread of broadband access.

The letter from Kohl has been anticipated for weeks and helps set the tone for how Democrats in Congress will view the deal.

Earlier Wednesday, top Democrats in the House also expressed caution about the deal, saying that it could discourage investment and restrict innovation.

"We believe that AT&T's acquisition of T-Mobile would be a troubling backward step in federal public policy--a retrenchment from nearly two decades of promoting competition and open markets to acceptance of a duopoly in the wireless marketplace," House Energy and Commerce Communications and Technology Subcommittee Chairwoman Anna Eshoo, D-Calif., Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass., and House Judiciary ranking member John Conyers, D-Mich., wrote in their letter to FCC and the Justice Department.

"Such industry consolidation could reduce competition and increase consumer costs at a time our country can least afford it."

[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
Cool now I may get back on Tmo when I move to Georgia next year when my sprint contract is up.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Yeah, that's 'cuz 30 years ago a certain little company known as AT&T was broken up into the "baby bells" (Of which Verizon, aka Bell Atlantic was one) because they were found guilty of leveraging their monopoly status unfairly and in harm to the consumer and the market and ultimately innovation.

...to be fair they only stifled innovation in 'the market' so far as the market itself is concerned. There was no market, they owned the whole game. They were actually a very technologically innovative company...though I'm sure Bell Labs was a pretty distant branch from the root of all that evil.

So, we are really to believe that a convicted abusive monopolist that has reformed and is bigger than even before is to be trusted? The company by the same name that at one time wouldn't allow you to plug in a phone from anyone but them? That wouldn't let you own your own phone? That would hard-wire a phone and charge you monthly for each extension in the house? Pffffffft.

Also the windows phone update support tool doesn't recognize my phone being in recovery mode and the samsung support tool doesn't put the OS back into functioning. What should I do now ?
