[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cookw24:
Everyone posting here is pretty much spot on.

For the hardware side.

Camera, cpu, ram, acceleration, screen, and all of that is much better on the DHD

However, iOS is far superiour when it comes to apps and app integration, as I can tell you miss from your iPhone.

I also find iOS to be much more stable. I don't overclock too high and rarely run any apps that require much resources, yet phone crashes and restarts are pretty common across the board (I've noticed especially in Sense 3.0 and MIUI roms).

I upgraded from my 3GS back last April and definitely miss my iPhone, so I feel for you.

Don't go down to a 3GS, try for an iPhone 4, otherwise you would definitely be getting the poor end of the deal since the 3GS is now two generations behind.

funny i had both 3G and 3Gs and now i never looked back, i don't miss the software like you say, instead i remember hating every second of it

i hated the locked bluetooth, lack of usb access and the obligation to sync from itunes, i hated how the camera had no controls, how the sim card was locked and how most apps and games were non sense

and when i attempted to hack it, i hated every black screen and boot lock and inability to recover

and now i went through a classic desire, i have both DHD and nandroid HD2, its funny i don't have those crashes you speak of on the other hand iphones do crash too

i don't download non sense app & widgets form the market

im running sense 3.0 modded ARHD 6.1.1 never had a single crash @ 1.38ghz above that clock i had the phone turn off twice, so i knew its limits is 1.38ghz, i never UV

i had this beast for a year now, never failed me

since when did iphone 3gs got a better camera than DHD?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cedchung:
Desire HD for me. but then again i'm not a big fan of apple products
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 62dentavsan:
I expected some fanatism but not that much :)

I never had iPhone 3gs in my hands, and have no idea about the camera. I took some pictures with 4, and looked through lots of apps and there I can tell Android developers are worse than ios ones. Maybe it's because they can make more money with Apple. That I don't know. Just a small example: Compare flickr on iOS and Android.

The problem is not what you think. I love having an Android phone. It makes me wanna do things on it for hours. And I do! But when I had iPhone, I just had which apps I needed and didn't try so much. I had a life... It may be so limited on a operating system, but you can't say it won't give you anything. After I had the android, I can say till now I just tried roms or tried to find good apps maybe 30% of the time till I got it. When I am doing it, it's ok. It feels good but afterwards I feel like I am ruining my life. It's just a smartphone! It should make my life easier, shouldn't take so much time! Of course it is in my hands but when I have it, the geek inside me takes control.

I hate Apple, everything they represent. I hate their policies. But it's not as different as you think. HTC is not giving updates to the phones it produced just 1 year ago, but you can update your 3gs with ios5 if you want. Don't think Apple is the only bad one in the market.

For example when you have an iphone, you can sell it still with a good price one year later or even more. But with the other brands, just some months later they produce 5 different models and your mobile price is half the way already. Of course when I said exchange, it would be me getting money too, so I wouldn't be on the bad side of the bargain. But compare the price differences with the products.

I can imagine having 3gs would be a complete downgrade, that I know now I won't do. It was just a wonder after several days and taking thousands of photos with hundreds of different apps or roms. It didn't satisfy me. What I expect from a mobile camera is not perfect of course but at least as good as iPhone 4! I don't pay so less than that!

When you comment on sth, don't act like everybody has the same knowledge or interests or time as you have!

Sorry for time taking!

And really thank you for your comments and comparisons.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkolev:
Wow. You have an overclocked custom kernel running with custom ROM, but it's the DHD that is being accused of crashing... nice logic. If you could flash a custom rom and overclock an idevice it would begin crashing the same way, perhaps even more. Iphone's apps are generally considered "better" because they have to pass certification before being published in the appstore. Android apps are published without any testing by Google and that could lead to some poorly coded apps being published. The other reason is that until recently ios was ahead in the numbers game and the managers were more inclined to spend more money for development of iapps than android ones. This is beginning to change though.

Back on the subject - if you just want good pictures, buy a camera phone. Even then you'll be disappointed comparing the result to a DSLR shot. There is just not enough light coming from the tiny lens to make a decent photo. Both the DHD's and iphone's cameras are a joke.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arknailed7754:
I'm not slagging apple off altogether mind, they still have the iPod range which I love, the macs are good apparently. Just the iPhone I don't like but as I said preference.

As for camera the DHd is sweet. The only other phone I've had with a bad ass cam was my k850i from se..it was the tits
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamdir:
ok I'm an actual modder in here and yet I didn't try as much roms as you did, in fact I stick to stock official based roms only rooted with some enhancements like kernel and OC, been working great for me

as for updates the DHD is still receiving them since release, we are getting the official sense 3 OTA any minute now, HTC committed to 18 months of updates

its amazing you tried so hard for photos and you didn't check my camera guide
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renehd2:
how can you say iphone 3gscamerav(3mp) is better than the dhd camera (8mp) ??:eek:

also dhd have dual flash light, have a lot of features to improve the camera, like contrast, sharpness, etc... also dhd records in 720p.. maybe you dont use the autofocus function or idk?? here some samples of my dhd camera

actually android market have more apps than apple´s market, just need to look for the good ones.. you can find them for examples: searching best android apps november 2011 in youtube... or best android games november 2011 in youtube and you will find a lot of good apps... my dhd last me a full day with moderate to heavy use (3-5 hrs of screen time, including a lot of games, music, and browsing), so hope this helps you (:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zerstoerer159:
don't change a 1ghz DHD with a old iOS crap :D and i think android apps get better and better ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qkevinto:
I have been through this dilemma before!

As a designer I am very OCD about how things look; I spent a very long time deciding which phone to get. I really like the iOS because of just how nice everything looks on there - it's just so aesthetically pleasing compared to Android. The apps on the iOS look gorgeous and they just seem so high quality. And yes I would have to say that the application base on the iOS is somewhat better than on the Android in terms of variety and quality, at least in my experience anyway. Just for the record I do own a fourth generation iPod Touch and I use quite a few iOS apps on there.

Pretty looks aside, my geeky side (a big part of me I might say) kicks in and tells me to get an Android instead. I really like Android because of its openness and customizability. I mean, even though the iOS looks very nice I really don't want to have the same thing as everyone else, making my phone personally mine through customisation is a big part, at least for me anyway. I thought jailbreaking the iOS would somewhat solve this problem but it wasn't the same. The openness of the Android platform is a wonderful thing and the XDA community is the proof of this. I know that the application base on the Android is not as great as the iOS but I think it is quickly approaching the standard (if not there already) and is getting better and better. Many applications which are on the iOS are also on the Android Market, if not then there should be similar alternatives.

In terms of hardware though I believe you would really miss what the Desire HD has compared to the 3GS - you get a larger and denser screen, the camera is better and just newer internal hardware in general like CPU and what not.

Cheers

DHD

Why you can't compare DHD with iPhone?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niklas123123niklas:
So the first cpu frequency has not much to do with the speed. The iPhone os has very much hardware acelleration witch makes the ui very smooth. I would choose the desire hd because its a mucher nicer (linux base) os.

Hi guys, I'm new on the forum and I'm Italian.

I installed the ginger dx v20 on my x8 but I noticed that there is no multi-touch.

What should I do to get it?

PS sorry for my bad english :confused:
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maliceomalice:
have u flashed the addon modules for stock kernel..?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] - Swift -:
Do the same as the guy above me.

Flash the modules zip file from the GDX thread.

**FLASH IN CWM!!!!**

Reboot and enjoy :D

Leave a thanks if I helped! :D

I don't know, I put the .zip file into memory card and I flashed the rom with xrecovery
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] - Swift -:
GINGERDX v20 should NOT be installed with xRecovery!!!!!!

Leave a thanks if I helped! :D
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimeWasterNL:
Also, as said, if you're still using the stock kernel, you'll need to flash it apart.

Means you need to download X8Gesture (Synaptics) or AX8MT (Cypress).
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spevky:
Install tool box you have a detection phase if you have synaptics or Cypress. Search the forum for it.

how about if use kernel dx?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IntelliCell:
I got multitouch on my GingerDX v20. Install Flashtool to your PC. And in nstall the GordonsGate drivers. You can read how to unlock it on this specific thread.

You will need the alfs kernel for the multitouch Here it is follow the instructions there.

You will have to follow the instructions in every thread, if you dont you will brick your phone and we wouldnt want that ;)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xmaster8:
you ment to say dual-touch? or you have multi-touch?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IntelliCell:
If i put it like this i have the ability to interact with only 2 fingers so yes i got dual touch :p thanks for correction :)

Sent from my X8
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joker950:
Sorry guys but I'm very noob, I did not understand what to do.

The first time I flashed the rom with xrecovery because I followed a Italian guide.

Now I want to flash it again but I want the exact instructions.

Can someone add me on facebook, msn or gtalk to talk quietly? Or explain me step by step how to correctly flash the rom with the multy touch?

Thether wifi and multitouch on X8.

Hi guys, I've just load GingerDX v23 over my Floyo.

It seems work fine, but no multitouch nor Wifi Thether work.

Does it probably depend on kernel? (2.6.29SEMCUser@SEMCHost#1)

I think I've to load "update_GingerDX-Alfs-addon.zip" with CWM recovery. Is it wright? menu: "apply update from sdcard"?

Thanks a lot!

Yeah, I was using the previous version for awhile, love the completely unique setup and 3D effect... but I was having some stability issues (fcs, issues with the backup/restore function crashing, etc). The great thing, though, is that they are really responsive in that thread to any issues I had, and they seem to have worked hard to resolve the stability issues with the latest release, I've been thoroughly impressed. Once they release the new version they mention without the intrusive title bars, I'll definitely be giving it a shot again.

Yeah that's what I've been doing in case. I got my phone about 20 days ago and I really love it.. but I'm using Go Launcher Ex with transitions (Cylinder) and the lag is driving me nuts :( I've tried the latest juggernaut with jugs 0.3, Synergy, and Bullet 2.7.. I've tried Bombaridier 3.5 with Synergy and now Bullet 2.7 but same thing :/

I think I don't know how to setup the clock speeds properly.. I tried SetCPU and the minimum ALWAYS goes back to 384 no matter how many times I change it. Now I'm using fauxclock and yeah normal frequency stays between 384 and 800-something. Everything else on the phone is really fast, I just wish the transition was buttery smooth (and it's not just the go launcher with effects, I was getting lag on touch wiz launcher as well).

Any suggestions? I wanted to post this in the rom forum but it says I'm too new lol

EDIT - I switched to LauncherPro and no more lag :D

As the title says, and much to my surprise :) a cheap replacement battery i bought on ebay (http://goo.gl/y4RML) for my Omnia 7 makes my phone reboot constantly when put to charger or USB. Works fine when not charging.

Just out of curiosity, what is the reason for this, other than battery being a cheap replacement?

On a side note, the original battery weights 4.7g more than the replacement, as measured by my perfectly working digital scale i bought on ebay.
[Omnia 7 Accessories] d.a.v.o.r:
BUMP

I just bought another one, same problem. So I'm calling it quits and buying an OEM battery.
[Omnia 7 Accessories] Mattemoller90:
Same problem, I try a non original battery and now when I try to charge my original battery my omnia reboot :(
[Omnia 7 Accessories] dulci2se:
Decided to sell my Omnia......although I liked Windows a lot, the battery does not charge very quickly, it will not charge above about 90% and I have tried 3 different batteries, 2 or 3 chargers etc. all with the same result. The phone needs either a software update or hardware mods.......Samsung get your finger out and fix this problem......

I also found it very difficult to get a genuine battery, had to buy a 3rd party battery which did not seem as good........:mad:
[Omnia 7 Accessories] chemeng:
Bump... I also bought 2 cheap batteries for Omnia 7, and had the same problem, although it works ok, when you plug in the charger (or microUSB on PC), after 3-4 seconds the phone reboots. and then boots again, and instantly reboots...leading to an endless booting-rebooting loop. When you disconnect the cable, it's boots ok.

The batteries I got were marked 'Made in China' (made in Korea for the original). Also they had a (slightly) different P/N: EB504465VB (chinese) vs EB504465VU (original)

I have tried to charge the battery when the phone is in Download mode. It works, but I'm afraid that the constant image of the bootloader may burn in the Omnia7 AmoLED screen.

Has anyone found any decent source of replacement batteries for Omnia7 (apart from Mugen, that is very pricey)?
[Omnia 7 Accessories] newfla:
same battery problem, so i bought a charger dock :)
[Omnia 7 Accessories] chemeng:
Does that dock charges only the battery? Can nyou provide a link, if you have bought it online? I have found some docks on ebay, but not for omnia7 specifically. They say the y are universal for almost all types of batteries. Do you have a universal one or a omnia7?
[Omnia 7 Accessories] newfla:
I bought this: cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190666195369#ht_4052wt_1134

p.s.: i can't post full link beacuse I'm under 8 post...
[Omnia 7 Accessories] chemeng:
Grazie newfl, i found it.

The batteries that came with the dock charger had the same problem, right? What is their Part Number, EB504465VB 'or' EB504465VU?
[Omnia 7 Accessories] newfla:
Part Number is EB504465VB. Yes they have same issue
[Omnia 7 Accessories] d.a.v.o.r:
Have any of you noticed if the battery really is 1500mAh? The packaging says 850, which is ridiculous. Can you get through a day with 1hour calls, some IM, 2 hour music, 1 hour gaming, 1 hour reading an ebook, etc, the usuall?

I'll probably buy an original battery though, as i plan to keep this phone for at least a year more.
[Omnia 7 Accessories] chemeng:
The ones I got are very identical to the original, and they say 5.55Whr / 1500 mAh. Their difference is the manufacurer country (original Korea, replacement China) and the last letter of their P/N (thing that might explain their incompatibility).

I didn't have the change to fully test the batteries, because of the aforementioned charging compatibility problem, but I expect my dock charger in any moment, and I will provide comparative results firstly on WPBench, then on real life.
[Omnia 7 Accessories] chemeng:
So here it goes:

WP Bench Battery Test

==================

Settings: Airplane Mode: ON, GPS: ON (forgot it on so left it on for all tries), Brightness: LOW, Backgroung Agents: Disabled (through forcing Battery Saving Mode)

Replacement Battery: 1st:02h 40min 06sec, 2nd:02h 45min 08sec, 3rd: 02h 43min 43sec

Original Battery: 03h 41min 29sec

There is a big difference (original > replacement 34%) that I don't know if it is because of the low actual capacity of the replacement battery (despite its capacity is cited at 1500 mAh, the same as the original battery), or because of the not good charging of the dock charger (although the phone index in every case stated 100% when the freshly charged battery was inserted)

The gold brand battery capacity shouldn't be trusted. Like the post above me, there is no way you can cram a lot more mah with the same battery technology while having the same physical size as the original battery.
