[LG Optimus 3D] Jabbypants:
Yeah happy with mine all that I hate is missing the great battery life of the Iphone 4 as no Android phone can match it.

I am 14 hours in on this charge and have listened to maybe 1 hour of music, sent 10 texts and done maybe 30 mins of internet so light use really, this is the one thing I hate with this phone is the batter life.

I use maybe 5 widgets and that's all I have ever use, my favourite is Beautiful widgets for the weather, bet i only have 8 apps installed also, all I have ever needed on Android.

Has there been any rumours of the I5 specs, I am not ruling out getting a I4 at some point also.
[LG Optimus 3D] simacca:
Have finally got a dust free/defect free O3D :-)

Just charging and testing it now.

First impressions :

I prefer the way it feels in my hand compared to the GS2.

Screen isn't as vivid, but its still really nice.

Scrolling through menu's is smooth enough for me so far.

Will report back after I have played with it some more.

Thanks for all the advice guys :)
[LG Optimus 3D] otacon888:
Congrats on your new phone!!! :)
[LG Optimus 3D] simacca:
Well I spoke to soon :( After playing with it for a while, I have noticed a yellow 'blob' on the top right hand corner of the LCD with is prominent on light backgrounds and gets worse the hotter the phone gets.

My O3d gets extremely warm/hot after only short usage, even more than my GS2!! Too hot to hold over my ear for any length.

Have noticed things get weird when the phone is hot. Double letters when typing texts and crashing apps.

Love the 3D so is a big shame for me.

Will be returning for a full refund as I am fed up now :(

Back to the crappy Nokia lol.

I'm not that bothered I sold my GS2 tbh as I would of sold it at some point as there were things that were starting to annoy me on that too. I just don't think android is for me.

I may sound anal or OCD about these things, but that's just the way I am when I buy a new phone.

BTW. I have always been satisfied with my iPhone's and Blackberry's so I guess I will just wait for the new iPhone 5 or maybe the new Blackberry.

Thanks once again guys for all your input. I shall put this all down to experience :)

Update: Having a really hard time getting my money back from Carphone Warehouse. They accepted it's faulty and said I'm entitled to a full refund, but they have no cash in any of the stores in my area.

Long story short, I am waiting for a call from a store to say they have enough cash to refund me. Been a total nightmare!

Must remember to pay by card next time :(
[LG Optimus 3D] Jabbypants:
Shame you seem to have had a lot of issues mine doesn't really get that hot so its strange for sure, I hope you get your money back ok and I guess you have a few months wait for the Iphone 5 now, personally after using a blackberry I think its the worst phone I have ever used, so far behind the tech of the phones now.

I still say the best all round phone out atm is the Iphone 4 it just does everything good and doesn't really have any real side issues, the signal thing was just crap soon as I put a case on mine I never had a problem, and lets be honest we use cases anyway.
[LG Optimus 3D] altec1000:
I wonder is it that bad. 3 times in a row?

Other than you no one has complained. If it was that bad the forums would have been flooted with complaints.
[LG Optimus 3D] simacca:
Thanks :)

That was one of the things I didn't like about the GS2 was the heat, but my O3D got even hotter after about 10 minutes with the 3D stuff.

I am gutted really because I like 3D so much. The HTC Evo 3d looks like it has even more problems.

Still waiting for my refund to be sorted. A nice man from CPW phoned me a while ago to say I should get a call from the regional manager tomorrow.

Can't believe CPW don't have any cash. Thought only 2nd hand shops had that problem ;)
[LG Optimus 3D] typhex:
I ain't got 1 problem with my phone....you are very unlucky
[LG Optimus 3D] simacca:
I suppose a lot of people don't really notice or are bothered by dust under their screens, but it was definitely there and was confirmed by the shop assistant. The 3rd handset was fine, but suffered from the other problems I stated. I guess I was just unlucky.

Also the phone hasn't been released properly yet in the USA. (it will be called the LG Thrill). These forums will get a lot busier when it does, with good and bad comments.
[LG Optimus 3D] simacca:
Lucky you. I wish I was one of the lucky ones lol.
[LG Optimus 3D] Jabbypants:
Doesn't matter what phone your have it will have issues, you can check any phone forum on here and you will have a list of problems and posts with problems.
[LG Optimus 3D] simacca:
Very true, but I had a 'perfect' iPhone 4 which I sold after I got my GS2 (still have iPod touch), and a near perfect blackberry bold 9700 which I sold when I got my iPhone 4.

I went the android route because they are more customisable and I like fiddling with things lol.

Maybe I should just stick to the simple stuff ;)
[LG Optimus 3D] simacca:
I also have an iPad 2 with quite bad light bleed around the edges, but have kept it as i don't really notice it in normal use.

Maybe I'm not so OCD after all lol
[LG Optimus 3D] otacon888:
My O3d has so far zero problems.

The screen has no problems...I inspected the screen for like 20 minutes before i accepted the phone......after 2 SGS2's with display problems...
[LG Optimus 3D] wan0eve:
Yes, my o3d is very heat, must use CPU Master to underclocking and change scaling to ondemand :(

Is Facebook ever going to release a Honeycomb app?
[Acer Iconia A500] lbhocky19:
i got friend me. seems good enough, meant for tablets
[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:
Hm, I'll try it out. I had Friendly on my iPad, that thing was a piece of crap.
[Acer Iconia A500] Z_Black:
Friend Me and Friendcaster have tablet designed apps. Practically the same really, but both work decently enough, but nothing to write home about yet.

Which do yall prefer? I would love to run Linux ubuntu on my laptop but windows runs so much faster. Any way to speed up ubuntu?
[Off-topic] novafoundry:
I'm running fedora, but some of my devs are running ubuntu.. And 2 are on windows 7. Can't say that I've noticed a significant speed difference in any of the environments, and they're on the same hardware.

What in particular seems slow?
[Off-topic] Zalastax:
How can linux be slower than windows?

It runs on far lower end systems but instead it suffers of incompatibility of some hardware and more bugs. I would reckon it's less secure too but because of it's unpopularity it is less attacked.

When a computer is old and slow I usually recommend installing ubuntu so that they can work with it.

Are you sure all drivers are installed correctly?
[Off-topic] jianC:
Ubuntu linux was always faster than windows 7 and xp for me. I'm using 10.10 if that matters.
[Off-topic] optic76:
I have to agree with you. I have a small HP netbook that runs fast as can be with Ubuntu. When it was running Windows I wanted to return it back to the store. That was the main reason for installing Ubuntu on it. I'm also running Ubuntu on a few desktops. Its a great OS.

I run windows but I have Ubuntu on a flash drive. I find that Ubuntu is more fun to mess around with and is easier to get around website blocks at school. The only reason I still use Windows is because of gaming.

[Off-topic] Dark Mage66:
Well on my Desktop I'm currently running Windows. On my phone, I'm currently running a Linux Bootloader, so that's a tough choice (HTC HD2). I think you should stay with Windows, due to the fact that its more reliable on computers in most cases. It's highly preferable to use a customized Linux Bootloader on your phone though, if it's able to read one like the HTC HD2 :P.
[Off-topic] Blåburk:
Me and my girlfriend got four PCs

My desktop running win7 32bit

My netbook with Ubuntu 11.04 It came with Win7starter

Girlfriends Laptop win7sp1 64bit

Our HTPC in the livingroom Ubuntu 11.04.

Also having an unused WinXP license, that came with my desktop.

Linux is OK for those things there are software matching the Win7

Like Firefox, Thunderbird, VLC and some more.

Would have running any Linux distro on my desktop if there where a photo and video editing software that could hold it to the ones for Windows.

Linux do piss me off more than once in while.

1. That thing with administrator rights, why? One can always re-install!

2.Why it isn't just to download and double click install files to get the program installed in Linux?

3.There are more, but not worth mentioning.

[Off-topic] gcogger:
I stick to Windows more often than not, partly because of the software I use (e.g. Adobe Lightroom) and partly because I generally find that Windows has a smoother and more responsive user interface on the same hardware.

I've found this on my netbook a couple of years ago (Ubuntu Netbook Remix and straight Ububtu vs Windows XP), my work PCs (Centos vs Windows XP, and the Centos machine has more RAM) and my home PC (Fedora 14 vs Windows XP/32 and Windows 7/64). The first couple of times I did this comparison I was surprised, but I've come to see it as normal these days.

I have grown up with Windows...but with time...my hate to it growed as well...currently I am running a Linux (Pinguy 64bit) version on my new Hp laptop...which is really a well customized version of Ubuntu...it is more stable...super fast...and elegant if compared with Windows 7 64bit...moreover...Pinguy is free compated to the almost $250 Windows...that eacg time you install an update...Windows gets slower...Also note it is not the.case with Pinguy...Keep in mind that Pinguy has all drivers bundelled with it...i needed not a single driver dowbload...even for my Scanner and Printer...All programs are totally free that you can get fro the Ubuntu Software Center bundelled with Pinguy...I advice you to give it a try...and I guarantee you will stick to it and have Windows in you history...Good luck everyone...and hope I helped a bit :)
[HTC EVO 3D] n2ishun:
I dunno if it's the dual cams, or GB, but all my screen shots are borked.

I've tried ShootMe and ScreenShot which just distort the images something fierce.

I've seen some people post screen caps so it must be possible but I havent seen a single post here about it and I've had nothing but problems....

Whatcha using, or whats the workaround ?

[edit

This is what they come out like...
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
DroCap2 works a treat for me.

give that one a shot, it's free and on marketplace as well.

DDMS tool - Android SDK

I use the DDMS tool that you can find in the Android SDK package.
[HTC EVO 3D] mcmikecruz1:
How do you get it to not show the start and cancel options

Edit : got it had to use notification trigger and set the image as jpeg if not they'd come out choppy
[HTC EVO 3D] will survive:
I also prefer using the DDMS tool. Easy to use...
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Doesn't work properly for me. Seems buggy. Most of the time when it captures a screen, you see the "DroCap2 has been granted superuser..." popup on top of what you are capturing. And most of the time the screen has improper line shifts and blocking issues where it appears the screen got captured mid-refresh.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] Eat it iPhone:
I also use Android SDK/DDMS. Will try DroidCap2, but i dont have high expectations. No screencap app has worked yet, as im not rooted and wont be until full root is possible (perm).

Did notice tho that live wallpapers cause tearing in the screen caps.

EDIT: Droidcap2 needs root, so i wont be able to try it, so far DDMS has worked well, screenshots on my facebook page linked in my sig
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] MNstan87:
Ive been looking for a belt clip/holster for my G2 with the Otterbox Commuter since I got it. Id like to be able to clip my phone in to a belt clip that would hold it with the screen facing me and allow me to remove it with one hand. I saw this on ebay origionally then followed a link to their page.

http://www.slipgripcarmounts.com/SlipGrip-125-Bike-G2-HTC-Desire-Z-OtterBox-Commuter_p_94932.html

Its similar to what Im looking for but I need some sort of belt clip and Id like to have the screen facing my body to be protected. Anyone have any other ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] evilcuber:
well there are a few belt cases customed to desire z and even fewer that can hold a desire z with a thick case. this is just a solution if you cant find anything, i have found that a blackberry bold 9000 belt clip case fits very well on the desire z and there is a little extra room that you can use to fit your case in too
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ultimase:
Do you have link for the blackberry bold 9000 case you're referring to?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] evilcuber:
well i found a link to the picture of the case: http://img2.prosperent.com/images/2...9780-koskin-holster-pouch--hdw-18193-003-.jpg

you can probably buy this at walmart or bestbuy. just find the oem case for the blackberry bold 9000 or even the 9780. just test if your phone will fit in like mine
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ultimase:
oh I thought it was a plastic holster like seidio. Thank you though.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] slufoot69:
I too am looking for a clip type holster u described above for my G2 with otterbox commuter. I have searched all over and cannot find anything. Anybody have any ideas would be greatly appreciated...

Two Leather Holsters for G2/DZ W/ Otterbox

i got two options for you guys

i have to split it in two post cause i can only upload 8 photos at once and also sorry for not linking but i dont have eight post yet so i cant post links

search B0045GYSFI on amazon

slips right in feels like leather magnet flap only thing i don't really like about it is the belt is a pain to get through the holster
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] citizenerased:
Two Leather Holsters for G2/DZ W/ Otterbox

search B0047PGRUG on amazon

i perfer this one over the first one easier to clip on and i can take the clip off and use it like a pouch. fits nice and snug you can hold it upside down and it wont fall out. feels like leather

hopefully this helps you guys out because i was searching a couple months back couldn't find anything so decided just to try and estimate through pictures and it worked out. i never even post but thats cause i know how to use the search button ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] slufoot69:
Arent you so special...
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] sino8r:
I'd recommend the Speck universal holdster. They are hard to find but are worth every penny because they fit any phone with a hard case.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] slufoot69:
Found this on Ebay says its a vertical case that will hold a G2 with Otterbox shell. I just ordered one and haven't received it yet. Will let you all know how it fits after I receive it... Plus they are 50% off original price now...

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] wolfy:
Hey slufoot, have you received the case yet? I'm looking for something similar and really looking forward to your review.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] slufoot69:
G2 Otterbox Holster

The case is the perfect size for the G2 with otterbox. It fits in there nice and snug. The belt clip is not the kind that can comes off. It will spin 360 degrees. Its a very sturdy belt clip. It looks like imitation leather. The stitching seems to be pretty good also. Pretty nice all around holster for the G2 with otterbox... Only thing I see is the magnet for the flap is not as strong as I would like it to be. But it does the job, it will not open up if you shake it or turn it upside down. In my opinion it is definitely worth the few dollars.

---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------

I was going to buy the speck universal holster but after watching the video it seems like it would be a hassle to get the phone out of the holster. By stretching the springs apart...
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] sino8r:
thanks! yeah, the speck holster does require a two handed removal and can be a pain. after a few uses though, it does loosen up enough to be quite easy... but still requires both hands. I've had mine for over a year now and am quite used to it. I had a large vertical pouch before it (much like yours) but it would get stuck sometimes. the shell case I have is the HTC oem one and seems to have more sticky rubber grip than the otterbox. well, enjoy your new case!
[HD2 General] backlashsid:
So...if anyone of you here in US have Simple Mobile as their carrier. Kindly tell me how do you think the service is in terms of speed, quality and reliability. Also is the unlimited plan really unlimited with blazing speeds ?

Much Appreciated.
[HD2 General] whynot66:
Post should really be in general q and a no hd2 general :-)
[HD2 General] backlashsid:
well just to let you know !! i did post the same thread in the general q and am not getting any replies...so hd2 is one of the most active forums..so thot posting here as well... !! so stop wining...
[HD2 General] FriedSushi87:
It should be the same exact service as if you had T-Mobile, as it uses their network.
[HD2 General] backlashsid:
yea but i've heard bad reviews about their data plan...how they claim its unlimited but block you after a certain amount !! and slow down the speeds !
[HD2 General] turphed:
Bad, I just changed today go to T-mobile for $10 more a month for TRULY unlimited as well as no activation fee

You're welcome

After 2gbs of data, I started getting messages about abusing the network and my data speeds were throttled significantly.
[HD2 General] backlashsid:
so how much do you pay in total !! including taxes ???

are you on the 60$ unlimited ?? how bad was the speed ??

also did you call the customer support for this ???
[HD2 General] FriedSushi87:
T mobile does this too....
[HD2 General] SpacelySprokets:
I have been using them for a few months now and I just use about 2gig of data a month. Speeds been fine and I have not received any warning text's about usage.
[HD2 General] FriedSushi87:
What do you think will happen if t mobile is acquired by at&t?
[HD2 General] backlashsid:
thanks for d info...m thinking of switching to the 50$ unlimited on simple mobile !!
[HD2 General] olorolo:
you will be sorry
[HD2 General] Faysal21:
So far, so good...?

It's working out for me...I signed on board with Simple Mobile a month ago and the speeds are okay, but I may have lost some of my messaging services (ESPN, Weather Channel, Bank of America, etc.) and I hope I can still receive messages from them just in case I have no signal for 10 minutes and I need my information. Otherwise, that's just a minor loss. But I guess you can say for my first month, so far, so good.
