[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
Well, you're pretty damn sharp there, Sherlock! Thanks for point out the obvious to the rest of us! That's why I said "In my opinion"... Wanna know what is a fact? That AMOLED screen sucked ass on several fronts. First, it DID eat power like mad. That's not opinion. That's fact you can look up. That's why the screen was so dim. For it to produce the same levels of brightness on a white screen it would eat nearly 50% more power. On top of that, the AMOLED was criticized in nearly every review for it's complete failure to duplicate white. It was always a very dull, skewed white that stands in stark contrast to the LCD version, as well as the Tbolt, which have one of the truest white screens of any modern phone.

As for battery life, I've never seen a dInc last 18 hours, unless it was sitting untouched on a table for 18 hours. Mine struggled to make it 1/3 that long. Running CM7.1 on it hasn't seemed to make a lot of difference either. The onslaught of battery complaints about that device in reviews and in forums aren't hard to find. That's why the Thunderbolt was called ANOTHER one-call wonder in initial reviews... because the dInc was the FIRST one-call wonder! Who ever has been telling you the Tbolt eats power worse than the dInc is blowing smoke up your ass. I have both. Not even in stock trim does the Tbolt's battery suck as bad the dInc's. Since the latest OTA, it blows it out of the water. In the latest OTA the radios were SERIOUSLY reworked, as was the radio interface layer to the ROM. There were serious issues with power consumption, but those have been history for a cool month now at least.

So, while some of us are making it up, I'm looking it up. So, how about you go to ARStechnica.com or Anandtech.com and LOOK IT UP.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DustinBooyah:
Oh yeah, a Nexus will get updates first too... I mean that's just badass. So a Super AMOLED+ display and timely updates as soon as Google is ready to let it go? Pretty awesome.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerocool79346:
Lol I've never understood how you guys only got 5 or 6 hours out of your batteries. I've been through 2 Incs and 3 Eris handsets and I've NEVER gotten anything that bad. Then again, my phone is not glued to my hand and I do have a social life outside of its screen. I have ran at least 10 different ROMs and probably 15 kernels on the phone, NEVER have gotten this horrible battery life I see around here and I don't use any apps that basically make smartphones into RAZRs.

Its not an opinion, the TB blew ass in the battery department, so did the Inc and so does every phone HTC makes (outside of the Inc 2) when compared to their Samsung and Moto counterparts. The Charge, by some reviewers, got DOUBLE the battery life of the TB, and the X has always murdered the Inc. Argue all you want, HTC sucks when it comes to battery life, and I will be extremely surprised if the Bionic and Prime don't reiterate this point when they drop.

Your points about the Inc's AMOLED are useless, because its my opinion that it is a much prettier screen and most of your points are absolutely ridiculous to me. I've held them both side by side, the colors of the AMOLED pop WAY more and be serious, they both suck in sunlight. BTW, since the introduction of SAMOLED+ technology basically everything reviewers criticized the first generation for has been resolved and many of them picked its screen over the IP4 which is saying something considering how badly Apple has most of the mainstream tech sites wrapped around their pinky.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
It's got vivid colors... that are about as honest as an Enron executive. You're smoking crack if you're gonna tell me the dInc AMOLED held a candle to the SLCD it was upgraded with, or the Tbolt, or ANY modern LCD, when it came to brightness. I can't tell if my dInc's screen is even on in direct sun. I can actually read my Tbolt clearly under the same conditions. The Tbolt, even before the latest OTA, was impossible to kill inside 5.25 hours surfing the web and streaming some videos. I often killed my dInc reading news over dinner. I couldn't make that thing last 12 hours sitting untouched on a table. Don't lie and say the Charge gets twice the battery life of a Tbolt because it doesn't and you can't find a review that even suggests such a thing. I'll tell ya what else, dumbass. I had the dInc2 so I know exactly how that one performs too. The Tbolt falls about between the dInc2 and the dInc in battery life. Not great, but I didn't have to buy an extended battery to take the phone to dinner. Battery life isn't an issue of opinion. It's directly observable fact. You must be one of the lucky few that live directly beneath a tower.

So far as I can tell, the new AMOLED screen is roughly on par with an LCD in brightness in general use. It's also close on power consumption. I still wouldn't buy a Samsung for it's screen. I don't like the technical aspects of the hummingbird, specifically that it can't link up with the MDM9600 so you only get voice+data on LTE. I dont' know what the hell people do with phones they need some massive ultra-high resolution screen for. I guess if I didn't have a social life and the phone was glued to my hand and that screen was my whole life, maybe it would get me off. But I just want to read the thing, not watch full length films or play the latest video games. IT'S A PHONE. I'm not even sure what the hell you do with 2 cores. I couldn't care less about a phone that beats a PS3 in graphics, but that's what it appears a lot of you are waiting for.

So tell me, I'm honestly curious... What the hell do you really do with a phone that's got a 4.6 inch screen, dual cores, graphics nearly that of an XBOX, 1080p video recording, and some stupid-high resolution screen? I mean, what are you actually going to do when you get a phone like that?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
If everyone ascribed to your reasoning we'd still be watching B+W TVs and talking on rotary phones since hey, they're good enough, right?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DustinBooyah:
I'd probably do just about anything with a Nexus Prime
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
Ya know, I had a thought some time ago.... When is good enough actually good enough? The LCD on my new ASUS laptop is indistinguishable from the LCD on my 5 year old Acer, except for size. The CPU is a lot better, but is it so much better I'm doing things now that I couldn't do before? Maybe one or 2 things.

I used to be a guy who stayed pretty close to the bleeding edge of technology. Then I realized it was pretty pointless... and expensive. If I have a use for it, I'll buy it, and I've owned some ridiculously expensive stuff. Go price out what an Adaptec SCSI RAID controller costs. Or a U320 actively terminated cable. There's no reason I couldn't build some massive beast of a box with 4 quad core CPU's, 24gig of RAM, a RAID5 SAS array, some stupidly fast SLI cards, water cooled and OC'd to the gills... but that's pretty much overkill for writing, watching a movie, and playing a game or 2.

So, let me pose the same question you pose in reverse. Why don't we all have SGI Altix systems sitting next to our desks? I can promise you whatever you've got now is stone age next to that.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godsmacked4653:
Just thought I'd post this to give some personal testimony on the battery sucking AMOLED to the newer LCDs.

Almost 10 hours on about a 70% charge. Still have 25% left. And I do have an AMOLED. Not sure why reading news articles would kill anyone's battery, but you may have been doing something wrong. :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
Way to go to prove my point. Did you actually look at that? You're pic points out every point at which your display was on, and at every point where it is, there's a sharp drop in power reserve. Do me a favor. Leave that screen on for 30 to 40 minutes... like you were reading up on some news over dinner... and post that.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watt9493:
The man knows his stuff and i'm not arguing. And amoled is fugly. I like white, not cream. :p

Please lengthen your message to at least 10 charters
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
Wiki

Basically amoled is better on battery for everything except for displaying white. So if you had an LED and AMOLED, both were reading a white background, the LED would use less battery- and if it were a black background, the AMOLED would use less. In general LED screens have better life because most people look at bright backgrounds with dark text than looking at dark backgrounds with bright text, but it depends what you do on your phone.

Yeah amoled screens don't have as bright as white as LED's, and yeah, LED's don't have as dark of black's as AMOLED's. You guys are kind of retarded arguing over bull**** like this.

But to be fair loonatik78 has a charming way about him that seems to piss everyone off in a thread, so I guess I don't really blame anyone.. except for him
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
Yeah.... I'm an asshole.

What you're saying is quite true, which is why I preface my statement with "in general use". It's hard to avoid vast screens of white while surfing web pages... or doing a LOT of things for that matter.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godsmacked4653:
You can see the awake time on that screen shot. And my screen definitely does not suck down my battery in 40 minutes. I'll screen cap that when I get a chance to charge it.

And I get the actual aesthetics part of the screen is just opinion. I was just commenting on the battery performance.

Edit: Also, that "battery spike" was caused more by me setting up a ROM after flashing something. Not necessarily the screen being on. So that's not 100% accurate.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
I'm looking at the screen on. The devices doesn't actually have to have the screen on to be awake. That's stipulated my how the kernel is set up and what governor is running. Some governors don't strictly enforce sleep modes when the screen is off.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
Yeah I know right, most of the time when your screen is on you're not just looking at single image the whole time. You're using data, CPU, GPS, sensor, god knows what but those will usually suck up more battery than the screen.

This also doesn't compare it to an LED which may suck up comparably or better/worse than amoled, but obvious with your screen on it will suck up noticeably more battery than off, it would be stupid to expect the batter gague to stay at the same rate with it on than when it was off.

Amoled's are known to have more contrast as LED's will sort of 'wash out' some color- this makes them better for viewing images or possibly movies/shows. Some people like LED's because they're easier to see in sunlight.

Really though, who ************* cares about the finite details. Fine if you want to compare, but stupid to get pissy and argue about.

Yeah, I'm getting a WP7 phone anyway

loonatik,

...40 minutes catching up on the news at dinner. IT'S A PHONE, I believe were your words.

Try this:

Talk to the people you are eating with.

Read a newspaper.

Learn to read faster.

Just my opinion, though.

Edit: OP, I would wait 'til after the 1st of the year and see what comes out.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
It's difficult to talk to people while you eat if they're 1000 miles away. Newspapers cost money, aren't the same everywhere, and don't have as much content as online editions, and often don't cover topics I'm interested in. No matter how fast I read, my thirst for knowledge is next to never quenched. It's not uncommon to find me reading up on something I really like for 6 or 7 hours, sometimes even days. Thanks for your opinion. My opinion is that yours is stupid.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trickster2369:
I'll give you that, and I would never criticize someone for reading too much. I, personally, don't read nearly enough. But, when I find something interesting, I find it difficult to stop.

Read, learn, utilize.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gfrt94yn:
Alright, I had just installed the new at(honeycomb)rix ROM and I am quite impressed with it, that is, until I set the stupid default launcher to the ripple lock which has probably the 4 most worthless applications on the home screen... problem is, now that its the default launcher, I have no way of accessing 'settings' to change the default back to the honeycomb launcher. The 4 "worthless applications" are the camera, email, stock browser, and dialer. When I click back, it just sends me back to the ripple lock. Any ideas on how to reset without having to reflash? Thanks.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feed_me_seymour:
Good evening, all! I've been lurking here for the past few weeks and doing quite a bit of research before I finally sprung for my g Tablet. I purchased a used g Tab from eBay and it came with Flashback 7.1 pre-flashed. After researching the other major popular ROM choices, I feel like it's a pretty good fit for me, as performance doesn't seem to be an issue at this time, battery life is solid, and the loss of the camera is not a significant concern. I do have a few questions, though, that I couldn't find any information about:

* I can't seem to find any signs of VPN connectivity that's alluded to on some Honeycomb phone models. Is Flashback or the g Tablet missing VPN connectivity (specifically PPTP VPN)?

* I was having some trouble configuring the Mail app to connect to my company's Exchange 2003 server. I finally found I can connect, sync e-mail/contacts/calendar and receive push updates from the Exchange server when I'm connected via LAN, but when I attempt to connect from outside the network, it fails to update. I'm using the same connection settings as my old WinMo 6.1 phone, my current iPhone 3GS, and several instances of Evolution e-mail client on a couple of Ubuntu Linux machines -- all of which are able to update via WAN. Any troubleshooting recommendations? Any known bugs pertaining to e-mail fetch/push via WAN with Exchange 2003+?

* This is a minor thing, but I noticed I can install and start Galaxy On Fire 2 THD, but when I try to start a new game, it soft resets the tablet and it boots up with WiFi displaying "Error." It takes another soft cycle to reset the wireless to working status. Is this a common issue with GoF2 THD?

I appreciate the community and developers' hard work. That was one of the major factors that drove me to purchase a g Tablet. I enjoy the challenge (and the price!). :)

[HTC EVO 3D] warmfrog:
this would complete the evo3d i dont know why is not added towards display>animation but ive noticed the motorola photon 4g does.
[HTC EVO 3D] thizzlemania91:
Use adw launcher pro, I love sence but I also love landscape mode haha you get way more options to customize your screen and set it (your screen) to what ever suits your needs brah. But since we now have a new kernal I think we can work on landscape mode for sence.
[HTC EVO 3D] warmfrog:
theres no animation and adw is garbage try out spb shell ;]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSMMiD3GD_M&feature=related

[HTC EVO 3D] thizzlemania91:
its to expensive y would you pay 15 bucks for something like spb shell, adw launcher ex is awesome, you get great themes with amazing icons, besides you can use beautiful widgets, i had spb shell and it was a waste of money. my opinion thoo, give them both a try and c what you like bro :D if you like the carousel and landscape mode with awesome icons go with adw..
[HTC EVO 3D] Bamba1260:
+100 for adw ex. Been using it since it came out and have tried A LOT of others and nothing

compares (in my opinion, of course). Some people also swear by launcher pro(plus).

But $15 is WAY to much for spb shell imho. Its not even that nice.
[HTC EVO 3D] steam374:
I know they have something like this in the default browser of the internet if you type "default:config" or something like that....I'm pretty sure that's not the command, but there's a setting in the advanced part and its just an animation.

[HTC EVO 3D] mattfmartin:
Spb shell sucks balls. Adw ex ftw
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
Is about:debug and just check smooth rotate but it won't give you nothing close to the iPhone or iPad rotate animation , thats one of the things the make ios seems faster and less blocky, that's one of the things I hated in my honeycomb tablet, looks worse in bigger screen , then a phone , Idk why Google don't work in effects I mean I don't think is hard to do them
[HTC EVO 3D] Rage1ofakind:
Is there not a way to get this animation in as a default, as i really like Sense 3.0 and would not want to hop onto another home launcher just for this feature.

As of now when we rotate the screen the browser/apps flash and go landscape, would be nice having that rotating animation in like the honeycomb tablets and iPhone.

PS. what's this 'config:' thing? i remember doing it on htc Desire but it only gave me certain advance options, and not a animation section :(
[HTC EVO 3D] warmfrog:
your right but stock browser is garbage opera is better and smoother and has zoom animation

as for the spb shell get the crack version i wouldnt pay $15 but maybe $1.99 is reasonable
[HTC EVO 3D] warmfrog:
did you even try it?
[HTC EVO 3D] warmfrog:
you can go landscape with spb as well located on its home launcher settings
[HTC EVO 3D] SayWhat10:
Go Launcher Pro ftw
[HTC EVO 3D] Nehovsrah:
Guys, guys, guys (and possibly girls)! The question wasn't "What's a launcher that allows for landscape mode?" It was "how can I get rotation animations ala iPhone?" I can confirm launcher pro and ADW launcher do NOT have this feature. From what I understand, it was removed just after 1.6 and it wasn't "possible" with the new graphics framework put in for Android 2.0.

That said, I have noticed that most of the motorola phones that have come out in the past year have them so I don't know why HTC can't have them. It might be something that needs to be implemented on the manufacturers side or it might be a hidden feature of the OS now. I have been looking for this for the Evo 4G and now the Evo 3D (I own both) to no avail. I will try this SPB shell and report if and report how well it works.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nehovsrah:
Tried SPB Shell 3D. No dice. Cool interface but that's about it. Hopefully Ice Cream Sandwich keeps the honeycomb animation and integrates them into the stock phone interface.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rage1ofakind:
I did the about:debug on the stock browser and now it has a rotation animation :D but it's only limited to the browser (good for now though)

One question: now that I've got the smooth rotate on, how do i remove the debug options so they don't show up when i click menu or go settings in the browser?

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
It will go away if you kill the browser
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giga502:
I'm not a developer and I have no intention of ever doing it, knowing whether it is possible or anything else. I was just thinking and wondering.

Since it was possible to make the hardware Camera hack.

Would it be possible to change the volume settings. For example, when the phone is locked that just pressing the up and down volume keys once only change the volume rather than holding them.

When the volume buttons would be held for more than 1-2 seconds it would possible change songs or something else, ect.

Wondering if this is possibe or not as to me, it would seem like a good idea.

Thoughts?
