keeping in mind that iphone has the same pixels as sensation xe
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
so everyone who tried this said the same thing, the XL has amazing design, amazing build and an amazing screen

the reason? its simple, HTC saved money on the now mid end specs and invested on quality, most HTC phones has mediocre screen quality except their 3.7inch SLCD screens and now the 4.7 XL, i tried the XL at shop and my first impression was the incredible IPS screen, they had to since the density is much less, the DHD and sensation screen are far from this premium quality but never the less they still offer much higher density (no quality tweaks can beat pure density)

i will handle the XL tomorrow at my friends place and post my feedback
[Desire HD General] mmicha3:
The thread is about XL,

also I see that the pixels density is not the same in the next links,

for XE vs iphone:

for XL vs iphone:

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4161&idPhone2=3275

as you can see in the display->size.

for my eyes this is visible.
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
only the HTC rezounds beats the iPhone in terms of density

I had my time with the XL its running almost exactly the same speed as the XL roms on DHD @1.5ghz however the construction and design is premium I also found it very similar to DHD design but without the ugly plastic patches, it looks flawless, refined and classy

I found the DHD the max I can handle in terms of size in my hand without the risk of dropping it all the time. weight is about the same.

as for the screen, the pixel density is visibly less then DHD however the screen is much higher quality, its more like the iPhone 4 screen, true SLCD/IPS with flawless view angles, very low latency with zero ghosting, no visible patterns, flawless colors gradients, deep black and almost glued on the surface

despite the visible drop in density, the amazing screen, beautiful design/quality and the beats earsets is all what sets it apart from the DHD

I found the beats earset to be over rated, not comfy and not much bass, also the XL has only the beats profile, no SRS or Dolby

last thing that caught my attention, the XL has 16GB internal, however around 3.8GB reserved! it needs only 512MB for the system partition, my guess the rest is reserved for the cache partition! which is why everyone is reporting amazing speed out of box!

if the XL is a sign of HTC upcoming build quality, we are set for a fun ride

Anyone else having GPS lock issues? I was on 4g with my GPs on trying to find the nearest Starbucks and it totally wouldnt lock on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bryan666:
Same

I've asked a few times

Help
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beezar:
If you do a search, there are many threads attempting to fix the GPS lock issue. Samsung seems to always have problems with the GPS on their phones.

What works for me the best is first getting a lock by running the "GPS Status" app, then running Google Maps or whatever program.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Poetik:
+1 on this.

I drove to my cousin's house last night and the GPS was giving me fits. Once I got there, I searched up a fix and came across the "GPS Status" program. I installed it, ran it, and then google navigation worked perfectly afterwards.

Hello everyone,

I am a noob and I tried to update my X10a (Rogers) from PC Companion and it wouldn't work even though I am at firmware 2.1.

Then I decided to do an update with flashtool. But everytime I connect to flashtool it gives me this error:

18/024/2011 19:24:39 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted

18/024/2011 19:24:39 - INFO - Now unplug the device and power it on

18/024/2011 19:24:39 - INFO - Then go to application settings

18/024/2011 19:24:39 - INFO - turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging

18/024/2011 19:24:39 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode

18/026/2011 19:26:13 - INFO - Device disconnected

and I have turned on the Unknown Sources and USB Debugging on the phone yet it keeps giving me the same error over and over again.

Even when I tried to upgrade it to the Generic 2.3 it would still give me this error.

I don't know what I am doing wrong or if it is just my stupid phone.

I downloaded all the .ftf files from here.

I also downloaded the flashtool from here.

Please help me. I would really appreciate it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
goto driver folder in flashtool folder and run ggsetup then try again
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahibunlimited:

AND

When flashtool says to connect in flashmode put the phone in flash mode that time

Don't put it in flashmode before it
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ase007:
i did both...still not working

one thing i do notice is that everytime I connect my phone with the USB I get the pop-up "Connect phone/Install PC Companion/Charge Phone"

If I select Connect phone and a few seconds later I take out the USB and plug it back in I get that popup in the phone again...could this be a problem?

[Motorola Photon 4G] HotInEER:
I decided to buy this phone for my wife. She will be coming from a rooted HTC Evo. I've scanned the forums and this seems like a amazing phone. Are there any issues that I should know about?

She loves her Evo and I'm sure going to motto blur will take her some use to get the hang of, since (no pun intended) she's only owned HTC phones. I just don't want any major issues to make her want to go back to her Evo.

I've heard great things about the reception, wi fi, 3g signal/speeds. Only knock I have read is the camera and the screen is iffy for some people.

Thanks in advance for any posts.

Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII EPIC 4g Touch on XDA Premium!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Evilsj:
Having had the Evo for over a year, I can certainly attest for this phone. As much as I loved my Evo, I love my Photon just as much. The only issue I've seen at all is the camera quality can occasionally take a dip for reasons I've yet to figure out, and HTC definately had the better camera drivers. However, that right there is really the only issue I've had with it. Got it about 3 months ago I believe, and after the first few updates, I've had nothing but great times with it. And as an employee for Sprint in a Service and Repair location, I can also say that I RARELY see the MoPho come back with problems. Initially, there was a problem where after making a call in roaming, the earpiece would stop working until the phone was rebooted. However, Motorola made quick work of that with a few quick maitinence updates.

Biggest plus about the Photon IMO is definitley its antennae. The service I get with this thing is absolutely INCREDIBLE. In the store I work at, my coworkers have various other phones, and they all get 2 or maybe 3 bars on a good day. However, I have a constant 4 in the same exact location. Never had a dropped call with it either that was the fault of my end. So yes, Motoblur takes a little getting used to, but they really did a good job with tweaking it for this phone, and after about a week or so, it feels incredibly smooth.

tl;dr

Good call. She'll love it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cbrlegend:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I so agree with the signal strength. I had the photon then traded for the galaxy 2 (big mistake) went back as quick as I could. Signal is so much better.

I think that you are making a good purchase for your wife. She will enjoy it.

Just switched my wife from the Evo to the Photon this weekend. I don't think she is gonna look back ...

+ 1 for the Photon.
[Motorola Photon 4G] HotInEER:
Thanks for the replies. I think she will enjoy it. I will activate it and put all her apps on there, so on Christmas, she can just play with it, and not have to worry about updating a bunch of apps. I will wrap it, and then just call it, she will be surprised.

Thanks for the comments.

[Motorola Photon 4G] HotInEER:
I actually started to do this. Lol But, her Evo was making her mad, and she had a really bad day at work, so I had her open it last night. She was happy and she loves it! I bought her 4 or 5 cases I'm saving for Christmas, she wanted one last night, I told her wait for this weekend we can go look at some. She will be surprised.

From playing around with it last night, it seems like a amazing phone, very fast, responsive, and I get a strong 3g signal in my house, something my S2 doesn't get.

Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII EPIC 4g Touch on XDA Premium!
[Motorola Photon 4G] HotInEER:
After 1 day of use my wife just loves this phone. I do admit I love it myself, I almost bought one before Sprint announced the S2.

When my wife calls me on her MoPho, she uses speaker phone while driving and I couldn't even tell. It literally sounded like she was right beside me, I'm sure the 3 speakers make a world of difference especially when one is for noise cancellation.

She is getting excellent battery life, she didn't have to charge it one time at work, and we just plugged it in now before bed, not because it was needed, but because we always charge our phones at night.

So much better than the Evo which was great when it first came out.

Only knock I have is the screen is a little washed out, especially compared to my S2, but on par with other phones in the market.

I'm shocked I don't hate Motto Blur like I thought I would, and it would be nice to have some quick settings in the pull down notifications and other small things. I highly recommend this phone. I also bought her a nice case at the mall she is in love with, she will be even happier on Christmas when she sees the other 4 cases I got her.

[Motorola Photon 4G] HotInEER:
No. She has adjusted well. I played with the phone for several hours while she went to sleep and went over all the things that were a little different than her Evo. She still loves it, especially hiw fast the apps d/l and how smooth it runs.

[Motorola Photon 4G] poktangju:
she'll probably miss sense...ive used the og evo and evo 3d now the photon...the pros of the photon is the call quality...the earpiece is so much better than the 3vo...another thing is the speaker...ringtones and notifications are nice and loud...don't pay too much attention to the signal bars cause each manufacturer is different...what you wanna do is check the db reading of the signal...i am getting almost the same db reading as my 3vo but seems like the photon holds onto the signal better...
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] -x]Trunks[x-:
I am currently working on a custom rom but I can't get the init.d start up scripts to rewrite the values of certain files and do the thing I want them to do. Anyone have any ideas why?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] redcheetah:
Busybox? Ask dev.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Depending on which files you are trying to overwrite, it may be writing them before the system sets their values.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] -x]Trunks[x-:
if this is the problem any ideas on how i can overwrite the system values AFTER the system sets the values?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] -x]Trunks[x-:
i'm currently using the 01insert_file_name_here - 98insert_file_name_here

method and i have it set to 98 so that means that the system should be writing those values last which should mean the values would be overwritten like i wanted but yet NONE of the init.d scripts are running.

hmmm.....
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Which kernel are you using?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] -x]Trunks[x-:
your kernel from glorious overdose that you said i could use haha

i even also tried switching to a kg2 stock deodex base and doing the same mods and the same result happened.....

i thought that the #filename method in the system/etc/init.d folder was the method used for running startup scripts.....i also gave the ect/init.d folder rwx-rwx-rwx permissions (0777) in the updater-script yet nothing.....
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
it should be etc/init.d, not sure if you had a typo in your post, or if you're using the wrong folder? I know that init.d scripts work on the KJ2 kernel I made.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] -x]Trunks[x-:
yeah its the right folder

but does the script have to be named:

98test

or

S98test ?

b/c i noticed in glorious overdoes you put a capital s infront of the script's number and name.....in some other roms though they just use the # then name without the s
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] -x]Trunks[x-:
it seems galaxy s phones need the script to start with "S" followed by a number between 01-98 then a file name.....so the 2nd option I posted is correct.

but yet even with using your kernel i can't get the script to set the values i'd like it to for the rom i'm working on.....here's the script i have made (don't worry those who have work that is contributed to that file will be credited when i post the rom w/ this working script)

i've been trying for almost a week with different people's "solutions" yet none work

rom base: kj2 deodex w/ root

modem: kj2

kernel: glorious overdose 2 kernel

hopefully you can figure out the problem

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AnalogXDA:
^^^^^^ Lord, it never fails..... (*shakes head*)

Anyway, I'm not sure that getting the app to install would be enough. I really don't know whether AT&T would check to see whether you were running an approved device before delivering your VVM over the data network, or whether it would be enough to have an LTE data plan and maybe be connected to the "pta" access point?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jug6ernaut:
I doubt the apk checks anything on the device. mist likely just have to be provisioned correctly on the att system. Check you features unless it says vvm on it somewhere(will ether be a seperate feature or or attaches to a dataplan) it will not work.

Hi!, I just happily migrated from Evo 4G to Epic 4G Touch. my question is, how do I charge for the first time my battery so I can get the most out of it and how can I maintain it?.

Thanks to the xda community for your help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kawinma:
There was also an Engadget or Giz article (can't find the link) that said you should supposedly discharge it completely THEN go through the usual charging cycles thing.

Samsung, aftermarket battery manufacturers et al, however, state the usual wisdom of shoving the phone/battery right on the charger and not using it until it's fully charged.
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
I can reproduce this bug every time on my phone (Mostly Stock Rebuild + Shadow Kernel 1.0.2). If I'm plugged in and I go to Settings -- About Phone and click Battery Usage I get a Settings app freeze and force close. Can anyone else reproduce it? Does this mean anything might be seriously wrong with this phone or just a quirk?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Mine works fine. To eliminate software quirk you should Odin back to EC05 and see if it FCs or not. Then if it is OK root and flash ROM from there. Try it and if OK then flash kernel and try it.
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
I should add that it works when fully charged and plugged in, just not while charging.

ETA: oddly enough the phone is charging right now and no such error this time when tapping the Battery use option. Weird. Maybe something that was temporarily interfering...?
