iphone rocks

The iphone rocks people, it is better for web browsing than anything on the market it right now Hands down. They only thing better is a laptop. Try and go to break.com or youtube.com and watch a video on a htc phone any of them i don't care what modle you get of htc and it will never compare to the iphone phone web browsing full html email. Every one here has to hack thier htc phone to get threading sms, iphone phone gives you that. There is some bad stuff about it like no mms (but if you put threading sms on htc you have no mms). There no stero bluetooth or even the options to listen to the music in the headset. But having an htc phone for 3 years I been blow away by the iphones internet and thats what I care about. Every thing else gps i don't care 3g hspda service don't care becuase whats the point of having it if the internet suck on the phone you use. My thoughts........
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MikeChannon:
I must say I'm not a fan of these comparison threads because everyones needs are different and we can all read the specs for the devices we are considering.

Your post struck me as odd (not because of your point of view) but beacuse you have made two posts almost exactly a year apart and you dislike HTC phones. Do you pop in on an annual basis and why are you still interested in this site?

This is a developers site and that's the main issue for me with the iphone - its lack of potential for development / flexibility, not the fact that it may perform certain tasks very well. (I'd rapidly get bored of watching videos on a tiny screen - I need to play on it - add things, try them out and learn from the developers here)

I own a wizard

I own a wizard before I owned a iphone and I come in here to learn about the tilt to see if it worth getting. After reading that it doesn't support flash in p ie or threading sms yet. The web browser the same as any other htc phone. I find its not worth getting.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mrbofus:
iPhone is close, but no cigar

Here are my two cents on this matter:

Just a bit of background first: I like both Apple and Microsoft products. I have 3 PCs and 3 Macs at home. As companies and with their products, I think they both have their strengths and weaknesses, depending on what you are trying to do.

The iPhone is cool, no doubt about it. BUT, there are some severe limitations that have prevented me from going on board the iPhone boat. Before I list those, let me say that what the iPhone does do, it does well. I have not seen [or heard of] any phone that does photos and MP3/video playback as well as the iPhone. The multitouch interface is groundbreaking, cool, and yes, useful. Viewing photos, videos, and listening to music is a pleasure on the iPhone. However, the limitations, in my view, are glaring and severe.

- No Exchange support. [this is the big killer for me.] And I know there are pseudo-workarounds, but I mean full-blown Direct Push support.

- Can't send text messages to more than one person. I have no idea why Apple would cripple this.

- Can't send MMS. What gives Apple? You can send a text on the iPhone, you can send e-mails with pictures, but no MMS.

- Keyboard works in landscape mode only in Safari, not in any other application that uses the keyboard.

- No 3G. I know it drains the battery more than EDGE, but I love my 3G connectivity.

- Screen rotation is inconsistent. If I'm viewing a photo in landscape mode and bring up the controls, they are in portrait mode, meaning I have to rotate the phone to read the controls. Music controls match screen orientation though. Can only watch videos in landscape, not portrait.

-No 3rd party applications!!

Windows Mobile devices have their downsides too, of course...

- Interface is not as smooth/snappy/fast/polished compared to the iPhone, or even some other "regular" phones.

- Experience freezing or lockups every once in a while

For me, the feature set of Windows Mobile phones are what win me over. Exchange, 3G, GPS, 3rd party apps, etc...I wish I could get the photo viewing/iPod aspects of the iPhone on a WM phone, but aside from that, Windows Mobile all the way. Over the air syncing with my Exchange server kicks ass!

Thanks for reading this far! =)

Oh my! :eek:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jageerdar:
new but old

Ahhh the wars.... i like em.. it gives you new ideas and provides manufacturers with important marketing resources...

For me, i just got my Kaiser a few days back and the reasons were (mainly)...

1) third party support

2) i like to develop and play around with the phone rather than being stuck with whats packaged on it from the manufacturer.

Why not iphone:-

1) needs alot more features to caputure techy type guys.

2) It doesnt operate well in Kuwait ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] racerx_:
well, here's the perspective of a guy with an iphone and a trinity and thinking of getting a kaiser..

the thing about the iphone is that it doesn't do everything.. missing a lot of features.. but what it does, it does really well. I'd say, as simply a phone, it rocks. I can live without the missing stuff just for a phone. But it can't even compare if you're looking for real productivity like you get on a pda such as the kaiser. In fact, you get used to the iphone keyboard really fast and it's not so bad.. but just day to day stuff gets annoying.. setting appointments is clumsy.. no built in to do list, or Word docs...

that plus no mms, video recording, 3G, etc will wear on you in time i think..

but to be honest.. i've never had so much fun playing with a phone as with the iphone haha.. the problem is, i need something to get the job done, not just keep me entertained.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexiperplexi91:
Everyone,

I tried to use one of the tricks I used on my Galaxy S5 to change the screen density without root, but I can't find one that works. When I change it to anything but 640, on bootup I get "System UI has Crashed." Anyone have ideas?

The method I use to do is

Command Prompt -> adb shell

"grep | wm density" to get the original density (which I found to be 640)

"wm density [New Density]" (tried 600 & 610 and fails to start)
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheJesus:
The second screen is doing it. A more experienced dev is gonna have to start looking into how it ties into the system files.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexiperplexi91:
Alright cool, I turned it off but I'm assuming it still probably checks it at boot and doesn't know how to interpret a density that small. Thanks! Hopefully it can be fixed because I really like having smaller density system wide.

hey can you guys help me with installing a custom rom on my one. im fairly new at installing roms on HTC. very familiar with samsungs but anyways. my htc is rooted and s-off, i'm currently on 5.0.1 4.17.605.5.....ive tried to install a custom rom but after the installation is done it keeps going into a recovery loop....i used both twrp and cwm for recovery but both end up with a recovery loop...any ideas why this is occuring....also the rom i tried to install was skydragon and lolligpe
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] michaelbsheldon:
try this

You could try extracting the boot.img from you custom rom, placing it in your adb folder, then flash the boot image all by itself with TWRP. That has pulled me out of bootloops....

It's the best capacity to size ratio I could find with QuickCharge, and plenty of juice to charge a few times, or multiple devices before needing to recharge it. Luckily the Z5c has such great battery life I very rarely come close to needing it, but good for traveling and piece of mind.

This generally appears when ur on a call using a bluetooth headset, and i think that explains why it says u r on a call when someone tries to call u. Try toggling with bluetooth. Or may be restarting then. Also you could try is, 'forget/delete' all saved bluetooth devices in the bluetooth list. Try if it helps.

[Shield Tablet Accessories] 2kool2Bcruel:
Looking for some technical wizards for a theoretical project lol. I am interested in knowing and understanding more about the Shield Tablet's screen.

My main question or theoretical project is:

Does a larger screen with the same specs as this one exist? Or, was this screen created specifically for NVIDIA? I'm inclined to think that Nvidia sourced existing screens but I don't know.

I'd like to find a 10 or 12 inch screen of the same specs and use it with the guts of the Shield Tablet.

NOTE-disregard the issues pertaining to battery life, housing, and all other engineering obstacles. I'm just curious if a larger equivalent screen exists.

Thanks to all who chime in and offer useful information.
[Shield Tablet Accessories] ou2mame:
Why not just use the hdmi out? Lol
[Shield Tablet Accessories] nbollinger:
IPad pro is everything you need. All kidding aside, This project of yours is a bit ambitious. The screen alone would cost as much if not more than the tablet itself. At that point you're in actual 10in tablet price range.
[Shield Tablet Accessories] Keithn:
I'd look into the pixel c (Whenever that gets released.) or the N9 if you want a different screen. If you wanted to badly enough you could try opening it up and looking into part/model numbers on the screen but it probably won't lead you very far. It's hard enough to find any replacement components for this thing, I couldn't find a good battery replacement yet

CyanogenMod 12.1 displaying "No SIM" in status bar, and mobile data not working-SPRNT

Hey everyone! I'm new here.

Recently, I reinstalled CyanogenMod 12.1 on to my Sprint Moto X (2013). Everything was working fine, until earlier, when I noticed a message in the status bar on the lock screen that said "No SIM Card - Roaming Indicator Off". This message didn't make sense to me, as there is certainly a SIM card in the slot (I checked). And what does "Roaming Indicator Off" come from?

The other (even larger) issue is the loss of all mobile data whatsoever. About an hour after the "No SIM Card" message appeared, I noticed an exclamation point "!" next to the signal triangle. When I went to load a webpage, Chrome told me that I was offline. Strangely, phone calls and texts worked just fine, but MMS did not. I tried Airplane Mode, I tried restarting the phone. Neither of those worked. So, I reset the phone from scratch and reinstalled CyanogenMod, and both of these issues appear to be resolved [for now]. As a matter of fact, I reset the phone a total of 5 times last week because I didn't know of a solution to this problem.

Obviously, resetting my phone 5 times a week is unacceptable, so I need a solution, or at least a workaround. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I love everything about CM except for these issues here. Thanks for reading, and God Bless!

playing with Moto isn't as easy as Samsung.

But if you're going for Moto's pure Android, I'll say Yes.

I'm on Verizon. The Moto X Pure is a freaking gift for me since yes, I like CM style ROM's and can finally install them on a very nice phone due to the unlocked bootloader.

How long does the moto x last battery wise compared to the note 3?

Does it feel faster than the note 3?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] arshia.sunboy:
I think n3 is better than
[Galaxy Note 3 General] CZ Eddie:
Sorry, just saw this.

The battery lasts about the same as the Note 3.

Not quite as long as the Note 4 though.

But it's apparent to me that the software isn't fine tuned for the hardware enough yet. So battery life will probably continue to get better on the Moto X Pure.

The MXP screen is actually more useable to me in direct sunlight than the Note 3. Direct view is about the same but if you angle the view a bit, the MXP is much easier to read.

I've never once used the S-Pen on the Note 3 or Note 4 so I don't miss it.

Always thought I'd use the IR on one device or another but never got around to it. So, yeah now that you mention it I miss it if the MXP doesn't have it. I'm sure I'd have found a use for it someday.

I don't play games so I can't comment on game performance. Bur even with a much lower clock speed, the MXP is much more responsive when opening apps or doing Internet surfing on my phone. Now that I'm no longer using a Samsung device, I finally understand the complains about "lag". Because the MXP just does stuff without hesitation.

I do miss having a removable battery and physical/capacitive navigation buttons.
