[G2 and Desire Z General] kaijura:
HTC's motto in 2010 and 2011 was an obvious Quantity over Quality. Recently they were advised and responded saying for 2012 they will go back for Quality once again.

The whole reason I suspect why manufacturer's have been dropping QWERTY's is slacking, due to cost vs manufacturing other phones. I reckon making a HTC Desire HD/Inspire 4G, Incredible S, Rezound, etc all touch-based phones require less materials and time involved. So I can see someone in their shareholder board, thinking "Why make a QWERTY when our touch phones are selling well? We'll just force them to have to select one and they'll stop complaining." And then they'll end up making another QWERTY once everyone is tired of touchphones and wants something new. It's all a money grab game, IMO.

CES 2012 is coming in a week. Most of us have been waiting since 2010, so I imagine another week is chump change. Hopefully there'll be something new announced at the show, but I remember HTC saying something like they will unveil the new products at MWC 2012.

I imagine the next keyboard device will be another Motorola Droid before someone else makes something.

Hate to say it, but I told ya so in the other thread the other week. :p
[G2 and Desire Z General] anjin75:
I'd like some more power and specially more ram. No more than 4" of screen. Naturally more battery life, also if I have to pay it with no reduction in weight.

Until here all normal I think. Then I really like to see:

1) USB host (really usefull for usb memory)

2) a second slot for memory card, better with hot swap for change the second card without turn off the device.

3) a front camera for skype, etc etc

4) One more line of keys ,and arrows keys, but that without lose the pad.
[G2 and Desire Z General] yozgatg:
I do believe (and hope) that a DZ successor will be announced at MWC.

If it will, it will be something in the line of the MyTouch 4G slide so:

- dual-core (that's a given)

- front-facing camera (another basic thing)

- improved camera (8MP? with better optics)

- more RAM (1GB)

- a bit thinner

I wouldn't mind a 3.7 inch screen again, though I would like a higher resolution (qHD). The thing is a 3.7 inch + hardware keyboard is good (not too big, not too small), a bigger screen is only neccessary if u don't have the hw keyboard. Also i don't think another row is needed, as long as they keep/improve the Z-hinge that allows easy access to the top row.

HTC if you're reading this, keep the same design language of the DZ and include the specs above, and you will have another happy customer
[G2 and Desire Z General] JasonDude:
Everybody is talking about specs and memory, but the thing i think is more important is the feel and the design of a qwerty phone. Desire Z has the Z hinge which made it a little bit thinner and more interesting then other qwerty models, and opening the keys made the phone really interesting.

What i would like to see from a DZ successor is a thinner 4.0'' phone without the touch keys and without the trackpad, with excellent spacey island keys (even more comfortable then the DZ) and i would keep and upgrade the Z hinge to be a little more stable and it HAS to be thinner (very important). As a qwerty phone it has to have quality materials at the expense of the weight of the phone and one more think nobody is talking about is the OS for a qwerty.

Every ROM lags a little bit when i open the keys, and nobody is making interesting options in ROMs like auto launching email/messages app when opening the keys, which would be very interesting feature. The whole qwerty thing is a great resource, and i think its not being used to its fullest potential just because stock ROMs for regular touch phones dont offer them.

My 0.2 cents, HTC should f***ing hire me :P
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nonentity018:
I have been thinking of just making my own phone for a while. Sure, I don't have the skill, but it would probably be better than the crap HTC is pushing out!

I think the droid 4 is a great design and spec model to look at for the G3. Of course since they don't traditionally come out till October/September, I would hope for a quad core processor and about 2gb of ram.

At this point, though, I'm not holding my breath that there will be another flagship qwerty slider from HTC and will probably take the next Nexus device running Jellybean.
[G2 and Desire Z General] taurius1:
I'm not too confident about finding a qwerty phone after I have to retire my DZ either. :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] bFORTIFIED:
No me either. I have been using my on screen keyboard to get use to it as I will be upgrading in the next few months. I really want a 4" or bigger phone. Maybe a larger screen helps with virtual keyboard? The thing that drives me nuts is only having a virtual keyboard and one line for typing when using the virtual keyboard
[G2 and Desire Z General] convolution:
Psh. No need for a successor just yet. The DZ is running just fine for 99% of the stuff you are gonna do on your phone...
[G2 and Desire Z General] speculatrix:
I have a friend with a Moto phone which has a keyboard and he says he doesn't really use the keyboard and it simply adds unnecessary bulk, and he was quite surprised when I said I frequently find my desireZ's keyboard invaluable.

I am hoping that there will be a Milestone 4, a European UMTS variant of the Droid 4. I will happily buy it *IF* Motorola show signs of making an unlockable device and a chance that the community will adopt it, i.e. CM9.

I believe that the ATT Samsung Captivate Glide chould work in the UK on UMTS-2100, the specification suggests it could? The T-Mo 4G MyTouchSlide definitely won't due to T-M's "AWS".

Given the the lack of a recent european-specifcation qwerty phone, a G3, then I am considering the Samsung Galaxy Note. Before I came to Android, I was a Maemo user with Nokia N800, and before then a PalmOs devotee, so a phone with pen input would be a satisfying alternative if it works well. A keyboarded device with pen would be even better!
[G2 and Desire Z General] kaijura:
The next released QWERTY, I'm betting is the Motorola Milestone/Droid 4. Scratch that, it IS going to be the next one, just saw it was announced at CES2012. Motorola has been pretty consistent with the DROID series.

Since the G1/G2 is ultimately T-mobile's choice for manufacturer/device, they might find someone else if HTC doesn't do the third... but I'm betting they will anyways.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sonoma1983:
For the successor to the desire Z/G2, I would like to see a phone that similar in design. Would like for the phone to have more ram and dual core processor in it. And tad bit bigger screen.
[G2 and Desire Z General] acwest:
They seem to have made the successor already

From what I can tell, the MyTouch 4G Slide is almost exactly what I am looking for in a new improved DZ. Almost the same phone, but with front-facing camera and better CPU. Of course, now I need to find one I can afford, too...
[G2 and Desire Z General] ravi_n:
speculatrix: Like most of T-Mobile's AWS smartphones, the myTouch 4G Slide works perfectly well on UMTS-2100 (I have one and am doing that now, as a matter of fact).

The missing frequency band (e.g. as compared to the Captivate Glide) is UMTS-900, but, based on my experience with T-Mobile's G1, G2 and, now, the myTouch 4G Slide, I'd say that band is a "nice-to-have" not a "must-have".

acwest: Keep your eye on TmoNews and some of the other sites that post T-Mobile promotions. They did a free (on-contract) deal on the MT4GS with Best Buy just after Christmas and I'm sure it will come around again at some point.
[G2 and Desire Z General] resetrobot:
As much as I loved my G1 and my G2 I have found that I never really used the physical keyboard. On T-MO there is no phone I would buy to drop my G2 as of yet. It still runs like a beast :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtmaster303:
There are a TON of phones you can get if you don't use the keyboard.

So many better slate phones out there than the G2.

QWERTY android phones are getting very rare
[G2 and Desire Z General] shinta86:
Yeah, I so want a new phone but I want a hardware keyboard. I hate soft keyboards.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ag_lux:
As speculatrix , I'm also hoping for the Droid 4 to be released in europe as Milestone 4.

Does any of you know if you still need to install Motorola drivers on a computer first if you want to charge a Motorola Phone over usb?

That was a dealbreaker for me for earlier Milestones.
[XPERIA X8 General] dragxr:
I posted this issue some days ago on "XPERIA X8 Q&A" and still i see many posts about these screen cuts in Development threads linked to MiniCM7 based roms. I think these cuts are not related to the rom but to nAa kernel newest version since i had this cuts in CWM recovery with stock rom after installing this kernel.

I don't know if this will work for everyone but on my GingerXperiaRay i fixed the issue by activating boot anymation on CyanogenMod configs 2 days ago and since then i have no screen cuts.

Hope this fixes the issue for you guys too.
[XPERIA X8 General] LtHuNTer_StepheN:
I don't have that problem :)

even with bootanimation off

i have this problem on CWR only

i'm safe :D
[XPERIA X8 General] virajt:
Same here. There isnt a issue for me. You try reflashing the kernel again. If it still gives a error do the following:

1. Back up SD card.

2. Format it.

3. Flash Kernel.

4. Reinstall ROM [ I prefer you use MiniCM only]

5. Hit thanks IF I helped you.

P.S:- While replacing old files of your memory card. Dont copy all of them. As the new kernel cant read the files stored for the stock kernel. Copy only IMPORTANT DATA [ Music, Contacts, Just few apps ]. Dont copy any app already stored on SD card. I suggest you download it again.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] AndroidUser00110001:
Hi Nexus S 4G users. I have made this ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20402775#post20402775 for the Nexus S and would like to bring it to Nexus S 4G if I can get some testers. I would need a couple of testers that have like 2 hours to spare so I can build up the ROM as if I had a device in hand. Only way I will build it because it is lots of trouble building blind and then have to wait many hours to hear back.

If you are willing to help me test, then maybe we can meet on IRC or something and I can pump out builds while testing is being done.

I like to make my builds in steps and it sucks with no device.

Or if by chance you are in the lower westchester county area of NY we can meet up and build in person :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Phoneguy589:
Has anyone tried to see if there is a difference battery life wise between the stock At&t radio vs using the Rogers radio? I have been running the Rogers radio for at least a month and haven't had any issues with calls or data. I have been having baterry issues within the past couple of weeks and was thinking of using odin to stock to wipe everything and start from scratch to see if battery life would be better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 3rdcoast:
No problems here with the R radio. I'm almost back to battery life similar to what I had on the Nexus S. I've turned off LTE since I can't see any real benefit other than nifty speed tests. My 3G hits 12Mbs and that good enough. LTE eats battery. Getting on WiFI when possible also helps vs cell data. I've got 8 hours with 66% left right now. I can make 20 hours if I need to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Phoneguy589:
Are you stock or on a custom ROM? I just installed Alien and wiped battery stats so I'm going to try this out first. I formatted my system and wiped everything. Only thing I didn't do is TiBu any apps. I had a problem with my Atrix when I'd restore apps from TiBu, something would eat up the battery like crazy, but when I restored just the app it was ok.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] renegadefunk:
I'm stock rooted and my battery life is fantastic..

I could probably get 2 days
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 3rdcoast:
I'm running custom based on Rogers rom. No CIQ or other fluff. Agreed that restoring across roms isn't always best. Normally not a problem but if you can just install fresh that eliminates that as a problem later. Give the battery stats a few days and charges before giving up. The first few charges with a new rom and battery stats reset never look as good as a few days later.

Try flashing SleeperROM or CleanGB EI22. Both of them are pretty stock, allowing you to build up from there (much like CM7). They have some good tweaks and fixes as well. I was really quite pleased with CleanGB, but eventually went back to SleeperROM once the MTD version was fixed.
