I think people buy the iphone just because of the scamming and publicity. iphone is everywhere, in the news, movies, song clips, other adverts. In fact I think this points out the importance of publicity. Android devices are at least one year ahead of apple in everything. I also think that people who buy an iphone aren't interested in it's specs, performance, etc, but they see it as a fashionable item, a must have for "cool people"

the new processor is pretty decent, its quad core cortex a15 - same as the snapdragon s4 pro in the Mi-2... and hopefully will be in the next nexus too.
[HTC Sensation] dyc4ha:
yes the quad a15 is arguably the best cpu out there, but whats the point? ios, unlike android, locks everything and thus the end user cant really even harness the true potential of that chip.
[HTC Sensation] blackhand1001:
Where does it say its a cortex a15 or a quad core. I doubt its a quad core A15. They would be touting it way more than twice as fast.
[HTC Sensation] elvisypi:
I agree. They said it's only 20% faster than it's predecessor
[HTC Sensation] Jiggs82:
This is self explanatory:)
[HTC Sensation] gsmyth:
Its an A6 dual core, all pretty average looking for apples latest 'greatest' iPhone. Even the biggest iPhone lovers must be a bit underwhelmed.
[HTC Sensation] dyc4ha:
perhaps its not a quad, but still a dual a15 i reckon would outperform the current dual kraits and tegra 3s.

I have never owned an iPhone, however I probaby will have an "i" device besides an ipod later in life lol. It's an unavoidable end lol.

I personally have nothing against iphones. They are well made devices for the most part. Yes you can argue that with anything on the market today, but I IMO think Apple devices are made well to work well with each other. Meaning the Apple environment is well maintained every year.

I am not into benchmarks, yada yada yada...I am into function. iPhones can control everything from your home alarm system to your car alarm system. Why do so many people like/love Apple? Because it works out the box. No customizing really needed. It's a plug n play world and Apple has been plugged in for over 9 years.

Now that Steve Jobs is no longer with us (RIP), I can see the "passion" in his products kinda let off a bit, but the devices are still good. Jobs surrounded himself with like minds and I think Apple is better off.

Now you ask, do I like my Senny? Hell yes! Would I trade it for an iPhone 5? No. I love widgets and customization. However, I do wish I could have some functionality of some of the iphones and ipads have that have some sort of 'connection' with each other. With my Nexus 7 and Sensation, both running JB, the only 'connection' I feel is with Google Now, telling me how long it will take for me to head to my daughter's school to pick her up or what the sports scores are for my fav teams lol.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Android platform and it's potential (I'm an Ouya and Chameleon backer as well lol), but I can't help but wanting all those accessories that are available. :p
[HTC Sensation] elvisypi:
Now someone should sue Apple for copying 4 inch display and 8MP camera
[HTC Sensation] gsmyth:
What more 'connection' do you want? Surely you can sync your web browsing across different devices and your desktop via chrome. You can now install/uninstall apps for your device via browser using Google play. RSS feeds sync everywhere with Google reader, your music collection can be accessed on phone/ other device with Google music. And phone contacts can be synched/backed up to your Google account, I could go on and on. I think you're right about the accessories part as all devices aren't the same but at the same time that's the beauty, having choice. Anyway I prefer playing music on my home theatre system over bluetooth, rather than a small speakered dock. :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
From my experience, this is pretty much spot on. I have a mate who runs his own website design company and bought an iPhone for the pure reason to make him look "cool" and iPhones are portrayed in the media as professional and for buisnessmen.

Though maybe its better like this, the cool people buy apple products, then we at xda dont get lumbered with all those people coming here to make their phone "cool" because this is not what xda is about. xda is about something that you can do a lot more on android devices than on apple devices - developing so all the developers get android, all the cool people get iphones
[HTC Sensation] fredcorp6:
I looked up apple A6 chip and that's what it said on Wikipedia. So I guess not the most reliable source, but all the other info on previous chips is there and correct.

[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Hi there. I wanted to put my two cents in about why I think people fall into the I phoney trap. I think people first really don't understand the possibilities and capabilities of a smart phone. Second some are like sheep. They want the I phone because so n so had the I phone. If they really understood they would definitely choose Android because of the capabilities that is available with a android device and the freedom available. But in general all the I phonies care about is if it comes in white!!! It's almost pitiful. I may sound harsh but it's the darn truth. So in my opinion they can have there stupid I phone. I'd much rather have androids capabilities and freedom! Most of the I phone crowd think customization is buying a application anyway. So let them be sheep if that's what they want. They just don't get it and never will... In my opinion android is the best! Hope that wasn't too harsh its just how I see it. Best wishes to you! :)
[HTC Sensation] elvisypi:
Yes they are sheep, and they like having their brain washed. And it's like a vicious cycle.

A guy once saw my phone from the distance and asked: Is it the new iphone? No I said it's an HTC. Aha, he said, never mind. He didn't even care to ask which model or specs does it have.

I guess this explains a lot. These people don't want a good phone, a fast one, or an advanced one, they just want an iphone
[HTC Sensation] serio22:
Yeah true I know many people like that they just buy it cuz it's an iPhone and because it's for "professionals" it makes me sick how much is hyped up everywhere.. I much prefer to stick with my current phone.. I personally haven't even looked at the features or anything because I know android has probably already had them for some time

[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Can't stand iphonie or applesauce! :D
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
As a previous owner of an iPhone 4 I leave my 2 cents

Yeah by default the iPhone os is crap in terms of customization. Hardware wise its pretty good and so is the combination.. With just 800 mhz the smoothness of the os is pretty good..

But once you jailbreak it.. I.e.. Root it.. You have endless possibilities.. Yeah you don't have different roms.. But the rest are pretty good.. Lots of customizations and all.. You can have different transition animations, live wall papers, extended quick settings,different BT stack so can connect over different devices (Android too) over bluetooth etc etc the count goes on..

But at the end everything need to be synced via itunes.. I was unable to bypass it.. That's the greatest and biggest disadvantage I see in iPhone

And price factor is too much... It's like we are paying for the brand rather than the phone

Totally iPhone 5 disappointed me.. And hopefully jailbreak comes faster for this :)

[YOUTUBE]KFWtdJCMwT8&feature[/YOUTUBE]​
[HTC Sensation] serio22:
Yeah I agree because I also had an iPhone, having jailbreak was great and I had even created my own theme for it but I really hated using iTunes too and I just think Android has much more potential :)

[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
As an owner of an iPhone 3GS, I totally agree. A Jailbroken iPhone is pretty decent for the average customization nut. It's iTunes that really kills the user experience. Well that and Apple's frequent Jailbreak patching along with the stupid shsh blobs needed to flash forward or backward in IOS versions. :mad: Sync this, sync that, heaven forbid you need to reinstall the OS on your synced PC or else you're really in trouble.

Either way, I found the iPhone 5 to be a bit underwhelming. It'll still be a huge success though. Why? Simply because people are out to buy the name. It's only the first day since announcement, but I've already been lectured on why "iPhone 5 is better than any Android devices out there". LOL.
[HTC Sensation] gsmyth:
Also, why do they keep messing with SIM cards??? A new nano SIM card, instead of a micro SIM, really? Ok if it needs to be different to be compatible with 4g (but the last change from standard SIM to microSIM wasn't for a specific purpose was it?!) They are making it increasingly awkward for people to jump to their new phone (not that I ever will) as they will need a new SIM, maybe thats so they will go and get a brand new one rather than second hand.
[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
That sim card thing makes no sense to me, but I can't say I'm surprised. Apple is all about proprietary plugs and accessories. I mean they use that dumb new charging connector, make the case non-openable for the average user, try to push HTML5 as a mobile browsing standard (with futility for how many years now) and put funky stuff like Firewire in their MACs.

About the only thing they can't make proprietary are earphones because people would be pissed if they couldn't plug in their expensive buds/cans/giantfrigginhelmets into their shiny new iPhones. :eek:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzardproof:
the honeycomb version of android would be completely useless at this point for our phone.

There is a ROM called Paranoidandroid, it allows you to set apps to be in tablet mode. As well as many other features. There is an ICS and a JB version I believe. I haven't tried them personally but it might be what you are looking for.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliver:
Hi all, I'm self employed and receive most of my work via email with the details in a pdf or doc file.

If at home I just transfer the details to calendar on my PC which syncs with my google calendar and then onto my note calendar. From the note calendar I can tap the location field and navigate to the customer with google maps and, if necessary, tap the contact number to call the customer easily while on route.

The problem is this requires manually typing the data from the document into the calendar. Easy on my PC but a pain in the butt if I'm on the road at the time.

Does anyone know of a way to automate this so I can do it easily from my note?

In summary I want to be able to get the job details into the calendar (stock at moment but not set in concrete), specifically the address into the location field and contact name and number into the description field.

Would it work if I got them to send out as a calendar invitation, I assume but don't know for sure, that they use outlook.

Sorry for the long drawn out question, I hope it makes sense. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Love using the note for my jobs but need to be able to streamline it's use when jobs come in on the road. At the moment I have to open the email, download and open the attachment, write down the details and either enter them into a diary event or type them directly into phone/navigation as appropriate. Not exactly high tech :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p107r0:
imo the simplest solution would be if customers would send you invitations from google calendar - when accepted would automatically get into your note calendar,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliver:
Thanks p107r0,

I think it will also work if they create a diary event on their system and invit me as an atendee. In theory I then get an email invite which, if I accept it will populate my calendar.

Just messing with it myself and seems to work. I'll have to get my companies to try it out if I can convince them.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fooby:
What if you did some sort of mashup where your clients go to a google hosted google apps page with a google spreadsheet that is acting as a form,

in this they can type the requirements.... and perhaps can select / type who they are (or perhaps type their UID which does a lookup to prevent data protection act) that has an action of add to calendar + email alert for you with the attached PDF that they select in the form?

I might have a look in to this myself as it seems kinda fun! :)

Hello,

I am in a big fix now,

I cleaned a bunch of files with Titanium Backup and have have backups of the uninstalled apps which include my default gallery (I had another gallery app), Homescreen Launcher and some others.

By mistakenly I reset my phone to factory settings and now after resetting I cannot access any functions. Since I had deleted the launcher. I am having the files of the launcher though but since the phone has USB Debugging turned off and Google Account not set, I am not able to do anything!!

Please help me with this. Is there any update.zip kind of file to reinstall the launcher? I am using Motorola Fire XT311 which has locked bootloader so no Nandroids too :'(

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and waiting for earliest replies!!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_MamaBee:
UPDATE: Thank you guys so much for the help! My phone is running well so far! The GPS works well enough for navigation, and I should hopefully be able to limp through until my full upgrade. I can't tell you guys how thankful I am that you all took the time to help me answer my questions and get my phone going again!

what would you do? I have a Vibrant, and have done quite a lot of troubleshooting with it. Tmo's tech support said it's a hardware issue and that they've done all they can.

I've tried just about all the Froyo ROMs on it, and things seem to work well for a while, then it gets odd. I regularly clear my call logs, messages, and browser cache. I use wifi whenever I'm at home, and whenever I'm in the minivan I have my phone plugged in.

I am currently running Axura - Moped/FishmanMod v1. This has seemed to work the longest.

Lately, though, I've been missing phone calls...as in, no notification, no log, nada. I rebooted last week and suddenly had a voicemail icon...I had 7 new voicemails. One from my son's teacher. I never knew she even called. I've since reinstalled Tmo Visual Voicemail and at least now I think I'm getting my voicemails. Missing phone calls can't happen though. We don't have a landline, and we have a child with health issues. I have to be available.

Other issues:

*My battery died about halfway through the day yesterday, even though it had charged fully overnight.

*This thing is slowing down. As in, taking a photo with my phone isn't really viable. By the time it finally snaps the picture, my kiddo has grown an inch. ;)

*Lag! I'm using Swiftkey X and it often hangs on a key for several seconds before finally typing it. It's very slow to open apps, etc as well.

Does anyone have any more advice for me? I'd love to run an ICS or JB ROM, but having the ability to call 911 is not negotiable for me. Woodrube and some others have given me some great advice, which has helped, but I'm still having some issues.

I could pare down the apps and use it just as a phone, but what would be the point of having an Android...and data? I need the calendar, email, task list, etc. to keep track of everyone.

I'd love to try to figure out how to make this phone last longer. I could upgrade now, but our checkbook doesn't like the idea. :o
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toast6977:
Personally I'd Odin back to stock JFD and either do a reflash or pick a new ROM (bionix comes to mind).

Could do a fresh install of the apps you want on your phone. Your battery could be going bad and may need to be replaced, and if your sim card is getting old, you may need to stop by T-Mobile and have them replace it.

Not sure if that could be the trouble with your notifications or voicemail, but they are all quick things to try that should be cheap and quite possibly very effective.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenoism:
Well, although it isn't too helpful to say...I honestly believe that if you simply must be available because you have a child with health issues, you definitely should not be tinkering with your device. True, my phone runs better, faster, stronger, and longer (ha daft punk) than it did running stock, but I have certainly had the occasional issue such as data issues, force closes, battery drains, SODs, etc, etc...it's simply a fundamental part of the life of modifying your phone. It's not to say that you won't have issues if you kept it stock, but you really shouldn't be messing with your phone if you don't have a land line and you NEED to be available for something so important.

Now, onward!

I will look into similar occurrences of your problems and report back..(sorry in class atm, then off to a meeting). Until then, Gl!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzardproof:
you could try and use a cyanogenmod based Rom. They are one of the best roms out there except you can't as of right now call 911 (some phones can and some cant ) also gps is semi-broken.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_MamaBee:
Thanks for the advice, but not an option. I have to have 911 capability, and we're pretty active geocachers, so my GPS gets used a ton. I've been so tempted by CM Roms, and my husband is rocking one on his One S, but going without 911 isn't an option.

After this last round of my phone's slowness, we did ODIN back to stock, then did the ((*^&^%$*&^) updating it to Froyo. (Yay!) We were hoping that taking it back to stock would help our issues, but it actually seemed slower. (And oh, the agony of using TouchWiz!) I very, very carefully added back ONLY the apps I used on a daily basis, watching carefully to see if there were any issues. It was crazy slow.

We then went to this last ROM and I added back apps even more slowly. I noticed that I had issues after I put the Zedge app back on, so it's gone. I also noticed that it acted funky after I put Google Goggles on, so it's gone as well.

I am not, by the way, storing any music on my device. I stream it through Google Music.

I do have another battery for it. I'll put Battery Calibration on and swap batteries to see if that helps. Good idea.

Also, my SIM is pretty old. I hadn't thought about seeing if I could get a new one! I know it solved some issue LONG ago with my BlackBerry. I'll see if I can do that at our TMo store today. Appreciate that suggestion.

I've been just about the give up on this phone altogether and just going with the One S like The Hubs, but forking over the money for it (not to mention that it would be $200 for me and $49.99 for a new contract!) is just not in the budget now. Might be getting close to something we just can't avoid though.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iTz KeeFy:
Try flashing back to stock 2.1 with repartition checked. Then flash one of Fishman/Moped 2.2 ROMS ( he has odin files if you prefer that method). I think you may still have some "ghosts" left behind from the last ROM or two you had on your phone. A fresh odin to stock with repartition checked should get rid of any "ghosts". Also when restoring apps make sure you restore app only, not app+data. Remember, after installing a ROM allow your phone to sit for a good 10 minutes then reboot before you use the phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_MamaBee:
That could definitely be it. I used to just restore all my apps+data with My Backup Root. I'll see if I can convince The Hubs to help me work on the phone this weekend. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_MamaBee:
Okay, we did the repartition flash, then put it on FishmanMod Blue 2.2 Frankenstein Slim. Seems to be running a little better, but now my GPS won't lock at all. I've rebooted, tried Samsung GPS Restore (never locks) and GPS Test. Test sees 4-5 satellites but doesn't ever lock on. I've tried Nav as well and it is not able to lock on.

I've checked our forums and I see a lot of fixes, but no recent fixes and most of them are for 2.1. I've tried dialing the *#*# numbers, but they don't do anything.

I sure could use some suggestions. I'd like to be able to use my GPS. I know it's generally an issue with Vibrants, but mine has never failed to lock on before. Might be slow, might take it until the end of the block, but it always locks. Until now...

Thanks in advance!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Go to the Dev section and look for a thread called GPS Fixes by Solisfiend. It'll be buried way back and I'm mobile so I can't link it. It has directions and app to fix Froyo GPS.
