Just FYI for the Visual Voicemail thing. I talked to an AT&T rep so I could get my Data up and running and asked about the Visual Voicemail and it Uses Data to get the information so if you have a Small Data Plan like I do I wouldn't suggest actually using it. Not certain if it will connect over Wi-Fi but my assumption is that it doesn't.. Anyway verify that?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] doost650:
I do have the 2gb plan, I just really wanna try this app! It was in the market last month but was not downloadable at all so I couldn't try it. But it's also on the Skyrocket phone as well.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jsalter85:
I dont think there is a way to post the app. Per ATT: Visual Voicemail is available for iPhone and compatible BlackBerry and LTE Android devices with device-eligible data plans.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] doost650:
Which wouldnt make any sense seeing as how the AT&T Messages app has VVM. I can't use that app cause it turns my wifi on and off whenever it feels like it and it's slow.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zzoinks:
Another note about the visual voicemail app - the sales rep in the store made it a point to ask if I had any VM's that I needed from my old phone. He seemed to indicate that they had to make some sort of back-end changes to my VM setup in order for the visual VM app to work.

In other words, it might not just be a client-side/phone change. I got the impression that there were back end account changes needed to support it as well.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jsalter85:
I will try using it and post about it later. I have always used Google Voice for my voicemail and probably will continue seeing as it includes text of vm for free while this ATT one wants 3.99 to write out the voicemails so I dont have to hold phone to my head.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] doost650:
Can anyone see if there is a way to pull the app off the phone so I can at least try it?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jsalter85:
Once rooted I can try pulling the APK to an sd card and putting files online. Till there is a root.. probably going to have to wait.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hinduboy74:
Ya when i pull up mine it shows backordered and i called them and they said the same thing. Best part about it is they are sending me just the sim by itself. Kinda pointless without a phone. :confused:

i was able to get a screen shot with my current zip code but showing the price of the phone to be $99.99 so i'm going to call and see what i can do.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pside15:
Mine was just ordered online like 30 mins ago, the white one as well, and it doesn't show backordered. Just in processing for now.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hinduboy74:
if you go into the order details, it will say in process but a little message below it saying that some of the items that you ordered are not in stock. If your says other wise or nothing at all, i'm gonna have to call them. Let me know when you check.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bjg222:
Actually, mine's updated to give me a tracking number. It doesn't say shipped yet, but in the past 5 minutes, it's changed from "Pending Shipment" to "FEDEX" with a tracking number.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hinduboy74:
Edit : Didn't realize had the screen shot. I will need to call them since mine only has tracking numbers for the Sim and Freight but the phone is still in process.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bjg222:
Yes, it does. :) See the image attached to my previous post.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] hinduboy74:
ya mine has a quantity 1 in the backorder column for the phone. :( Really hope it goes out soon.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gtg465x:
Dude are you the one who got the display units so greasy before I got there? Dang man...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pside15:
My screen doesn't have a message like that. It just has 3 boxes that say received, processing, shipped. The first 2 are checked and my email says that it should ship within 2-5 business days. Not sure if it matters but mine is a premier account.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mizz lia:
I'm most likely getting it and a white one too its only $99 where I am so I'll be getting it soon
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jayv81:
I ordered a white on online at 1 am on the 6th and its backordered on my status. So I'm thinking they didn't have white online just in stores
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] blopez24:
Got mine last night love it.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] markjo:
I got home from the store an hour ago with the Vivid. Got the Skyrocket first then exchanged for the Vivid because the SR had screen problems.

EXTREMELY displeased with the Vivid. It's got quite some heft to it, for one thing. But what I am severely dissatisfied with is the call quality. Compared to the SR and even my Captivate, the incoming call quality is disgusting. So much static and white noise. I called a few people without telling them I got a new phone and all five of them asked what was wrong with my phone.

I can also not download any Market apps. It's downloading at like 0.00kb/year. Restarted a million times but no change. I live 20 miles west of NYC, if that helps. Good signal as well. The Skyrocket had no problems out of the box, aside from the screen.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gtkansan:
Reboot. I had a similar momentary issue. Now 30+ mbps everywhere. Amazing.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] markjo:
Tried seven times over the past hour, no change. I'm going to swallow the restocking fee and get the Skyrocket back. For now, back to the Captivate.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Noodles5666:

@HL_H - Ok, so its 720p@60 fps and not 1080p@60fps like what many sites are claiming :rolleyes:. But still 720P@60fps is great, how smooth is the video, have you tried it ?

Available RAM on the HTC Vivid?

I was at AT&T today and almost purchased the Vivid. I was comparing the Vivid and Skyrocket, and one of the comparisons I noted was the available RAM on the Vivid was around 200MB free where the Skyrocket's available RAM was around 600MB free. The only widget running on the Vivid was the clock.

The sales rep had a Vivid he was using, and the free RAM on his device was 98MB (he did have a number of apps open...browser, calendar, a few more).

Has anyone experienced lag...or any low memory instances with the Vivid?

Coming from a Tilt 2 (still current device :rolleyes:), I am kind of skittish of jumping into another device that may have problems with low free RAM situations...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Dkj7777:
No my vivid normally does a fine job managing its RAM no lag here

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] tacotino:
I might be wrong here but I think that task killer is wrong.. if you check running services you have about 550 free for me with Facebook and Google plus running.... so yeah its probably wrong IMO... I also have this phone and no problems so far...

Love this phone, kinda like a 2 dollar....well you know!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] minicoop7:
Does it come with 16 or 32 gb microsd and what class?

Thanks.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Noodles5666:
16GB built in, no memory card. Must purchase separately
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] minicoop7:
That's why it's 99 bucks =)

Thanks.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] linkismyhero:
Hopped on this at Best Buy Mobile on Sunday (where I work, haha). So far I've had a couple of random reboots and some force closes on the web browser, but nothing too irritating at the moment. If the random reboots start back up again though, this might be going back for the Skyrocket or SGS II.

I'm proud to say I traded in my iPhone for Android. :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jason.hamilton:
I had the original samsung galaxy s II and I went back and exchanged it. Couldnt decide on the skyrocket or the vivid. Deciding factor was i strongly disliked touchwiz compared to sense. Sense is actually useful while touchwiz is just irritating. Touchwiz just doesnt look professional compared to sense UI. Anyways, i much prefer the body of the skyrocket over the vivid. The vivid is a really thick and heavy phone compared to the skyrocket.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] brucegil:
Bought Vivid on Monday, 11-7

I got the Vivid about a day after they went on sale. I wanted a white one, but they had already sold out of the 5 white ones they had received. They had gotten 5 black ones. So, I was in the first 10 to buy the Vivid in the major suburban area where I live (no LTE yet). The store is near one of the largest malls in the southeast.

I am new to Android, coming from an HTC HD2 (Windows Mobile 6). Definititely faster than the HD2 because I was using it on the AT&T network, so I was getting only 2G speeds before. Because of my experiences with the HD2 (mostly positive) I decided to stay with HTC and Sense.

This is going to be a learning curve for me. I already posted one problem (now resolved). I will be checkling back here regularly for help on learning and using Android.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] donniesd:
I have not noticed any log. But my SR feels way faster then my vivid.

Shipping update

For those of you that are still waiting i just got another update. The main warehouse is getting 2459 units in either today or tomorrrow. I had them order me another white with with free over night shipping since i need the phone for business. They said if they do get them today we should hear updates be the end of the day and orders will be processed in order. So for the person who ordered it at 1am you should be recieving it asap.

Wish they would have had these at the warehouse since that was the only option for most of us. Bad call and just super dissapointted that they announce the phone in both colors but only sell it at a few cities.

Lets hope we get them this week still.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] HL_H:
I cant seem to be able to... at least using the stock camera app..

1. change to camcorder mode

2. change to 1080

3. change to "2x slower mode" aka 60 fps

4. res dropped down to 720

Yes i have tried it. It's fairly smooth.. however it seems all video is in *.3gp which is mildly annoying.

welcome to sense 3.0. its a ram hungry beast. but dont worry about ram usage, it can handle it just fine
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] malickie:
Agreed. I have a MyTouch 4G that I am running Sense 3.5 on and that phone only has one core and 768mb ram and so far handles anything I throw at it and have Never gotten an Out of Ram or whatever it is message.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kgbeasley:
The Vivid is my 10th HTC phone. I bought it on 11/7 and so far I'm happy with the phone and fast LTe service on ATT.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:
Ditto here... 450 free with a ton of stuff running

---------- Post added at 09:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 AM ----------

now go to

Settings > Applications > Running Services

and look at the bottom right...

with a few apps running

My Task Manager says 101MB Free

My Running Services says 451MB Free

and performance is great... so I'm thinking Task Manager is wrong.

I'm calling cystomer service on Friday to see if I can get it for 99$ I'm in western n.c. and don't have the option for either the white or the price but u was able to get my inspire for free so we will give it a try..really hoping it works cuz the camera and the display are amazing on this thing. Not to big on sense but i think im willing to take the sacrifice just for tjose two things alone:D I went to the store this morning and checked it out, couldn't really compare to my inspire much cuz the display model was having wifi and data issues:(..but the salesman said it was due to the software they had on the phone that takes u through everything..strange thing was the skyrocket right beside it was working fine...kinda wondering if it was really the video software..either way I'm gonna try my hardest to get it:)

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] NinjaZX6R:
Mine was free with coupon...

Everyone is talking about either $199 or $99 for the phone. It was $99 when I ordered it, but I used the RetailMeNot thing and actually got the phone for free. You all should use this link if you're going to buy it. It's good for $99.99 off the $99.99 price!

And no, I'm not trying to spam, just want you guys to get the deal I did. Worked on the white one just fine and it's on the Fedex truck for delivery tomorrow :)

Since I'm new and can't post links: it's retailmenot DOT com SLASH out SLASH 2103077

No idea when it's good until.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grenndel:
I'm thinking of picking up a liveview soon but I've been researching and seeing that there are some connection problems. A lot of the reviews are from 2010 though so I'm wondering if these have been fixed.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badboybiky:
i got one but i have never used . there is connectivity issue. i sometime manage to connect it with my play some time it just disconnect so i no longer bother to use it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akinishi88:
I heard that Sony Ericsson has update the firmware of liveview which improves the connectivity of it. However I didn't have that, so it might not true.

One of the reason I didn't go for it is because its battery life is just 4 days for standby. Means that I can't treat it as a watch...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badboybiky:
no after update there is still same issue
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grenndel:
Did you happen to find a better accessory?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoTechni:
Don't get it. Horrible battery life and it refuses to stay connected
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZeRoWaR:
It disconnects because of Android, the OS just kills the Connection due to ressources. So you need something like a taskmanager which controls the app.

But i still like it, often it just needs 1 sec. to connect again.

pros:

- control your music player

- you can read sms, email, rss, ...

- calendar

- ohh and of course you can see the time , even then the phone is disconnected

cons:

- battery lasts only about 1 day

- disconnects immediately if the phone is about 1 meter away

- less development, even then it has great potencial

if you still have questions just ask, in my opinion it's a great device, i don't like watches, but this one has much more to offer then a normal watch, also its quite cheap (in EU)... give it a try, buy it from amazon and if you don't like it, just send it back

sorry for my bad language
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAILOR-HB:
Yes LiveView IS a great device, but the connectivity issue will make you mad.

It disconnects because of Android (the OS would kill the LiveView app aperiodically), but the device only supports Android phones, no WM ones.

I heard someone was porting its function to Windows Mobile, and then the device must be a very useful tool when it's been done.

Somehow, it's not time to buy it now.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CZroe:
Just got one in the mail today but it's for someone else who got interested when he saw my Sony Ericsson MBW-150.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdyCarter:
A slight necro so my apologies.

Got an Xperia Play the other day and got round to syncing it to my previously unreliable LiveView.

Xperia detected what it was and installed the relevant software via LiveWare Manager (installed as stock on mine) and it has so far worked flawlessly for 2 days with no syncing issues.

Considering it previously disconnected every 5 minutes Im impressed.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3dawg:
Couldnt the process just be locked in memory using supercharger? Would that fix this disconnect issue people talk about? Im interested in getting one but this issue puts me off.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twe69:
I may try it again but its pretty poor and I would not buy one again.....

They were £17.99 from play.com but still feel I have wasted money....

Can't believe you have to take it out of the case to charge it and then place it back on, I wonder who actually was responsible for the design, am sure I can do a better job with my eyes closed.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KB013:
I bought the LiveView today and I must say I really like the device and it's really handy. You might want to put some extra attention at your internal memory because the device disconnects (BT gets terminated) when the internal memory gets below ~50mb. ;)

One thing: I don't know why you guys are so whining about the connectivity issue, when the device disconnects it just takes one maybe two minutes to reconnect again.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twe69:
It's because sometimes it doesn't reconnect....
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psycmos:
I do this 3 steps:

-1º step

-Using Root Explorer, apply the Fivef Process (this seems to be needed only for non-Sense 2.3.x ROMs - looks like Sense in 2.2 builds allows LV to connect without confirmation).

-2º Step

- Find in the market & install the BEST Android program I've seen yet - "AutomateIt!"

- Create the following rule in this program:

-TRIGGER: BLUETOOTH DEVICE CONNECTED (LIVEVEW)

-ACTION: START APPLICATION (LIVEVIEW)

Using this incredible program, you can completely control every aspect of your phone's behavior - for example, automatically start PlayerPro and disable WiFi when wired headset is connected, automatically start WiFi when GPS detects that you have entered your home or office (!) and do million other cool things.

-3º Step

-Install liveviewcharm from market:

This application will maintain processes from "liveview app" always on, preventing android system to kill them.The LiveView app needs to put itself in the Notifications bar in order to keep from getting killed when it's in the background.

I think that guide will fix all liveview connection problems with all compatible devices and CM7/MIUI/STOCK.

[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
The stock android clock on top right of my screen wont update! Say i turn phone on at 1:20, it wont update to 1:21 or ever change unless i reboot then it will have the correct time for that ONE minute. I haven't recently installed or changed anything like apps or anything. BUT the clock on my lockscreen(widgetlocker) updates and works fine and is accurate. I went in date and time settings and its set to automatic, in the greyed out "set time" it shows a correct updated time, however this time isn't being shown up on the top right of my phone. I tried putting it in "manual" mode instead of the automatic mode and it still wont update..Ive reboot and pulled the battery several times to no avail. Im runnning stock rom and kernel, just rooted. As i said before i havent touched any new apps or settings in several days. This is really annoying as i cant tell what time it is while on and using my phone without going to the lockscreen and it just now began happening. Anyone have a fix or also have this issue??

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] koniakki:
Hey everyone. About a year ago I made this Vintage Display Cabinet for comparing Phones Sizes.

It all started when I wanted to get the Streak. And then the Galaxy TAB. But since dual cores were "around" the corner I waited. So I finally got the Note! Well it's on its way to be specific.

A lot of my friends have used it and almost all liked it.

And I try to keep it updated. Smaller than 3.5" display phones not included. I included mostly the most popular phones with the most popular size screens.

Any additions that you want me to include please request them and I will seriously consider them.

It's the actual measurements of the phones. So view it in "actual size". Some have +1mm width difference. Very minor/unnoticeable tho so I did not bother to fix it. Might do it in the future if requested.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update: A lot have been comparing the Note's screen to the SGS 2. Most comparisons were either done with SGS2 on top of the Note or side by side.

But when the SGS 2 is on top of it, you can't obviously look throught and compare them unless you have X-RAY vision. :D

The below is the ACTUAL measurements of the Note compared to "smaller" screens! Enjoy:

I hold all © of all my uploads in this thread. Thank you.

TIP: Next project... It will be in 3D.

P.S: And on a side note to everyone. I have been around XDA since 2005/6 when bought my QTek 9000 and HTC TyTn.

I believe I was registered with another name but I could be wrong since I searched the member posts with a couple of names I used to use with nothing so I might have just been lurking for my phones back and since then..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
That is very nice - good work.

You might consider including the mytouch 4g.

I assume it's popular since t-mobile pushed it so hard.

You might also consider labeling the phones - I don't know what some of them are.
