Hey

HTC hardware build quality is awefull in my experience. I have not had one HTC device that I have not had to return at least once. I treat my devices like the expensive equipment they are and do not keep them in pockets with objects such as keys or money etc.

Its a real shame as HTC design and specification is awesome, just they seem to use awefull and cheap components to build them.

I have a Toshiba G900 which is an awesome device but sadly lacks RAM and GPS. For these reason i did something I said I would never do and changed back to a HTC device - Touch Diamond (which is a downgrade on the awesome screen of the tosh) and without fail, the Diamond is letting me down. The coating on the top of the tempered glass is so easily scratched, its getting scratched by just putting in on a desk. The buttons have scratches, the back panel paint is wearing off and the bezel around the screen has what looks like a silver/metal patch showing through. All this I could expect from a device thats a year old - like my G900 - but not a one month old phone. Oh and the other BIG issue is that I cannot play music without a skip, pause or song chop! (this is all Touch Diamonds) This is not just my issue, everyone gets it, and if anyone says they don't, lots of us would like to know what your doing and how your doing it!!!!

I can only say that my Toshiba was excellent build quality but I cannot vouch for any other manufacturer, only to say that they can't be any worse than HTC!

p.s. remember, the X1 is being MADE by HTC and branded/customised by Sony, chances are, it will be rubbish build quality as well.

edit: the Driver issue is not just a HTC issue. For some reason lots of manu's put the Nvidia chipset into the devices and never actually "drive" it - including Toshiba. Just bizzare.

Does anybody know something about the cpu and ram?
[General Topics] Monty Burns:
http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=1480

CPU 32bit Marvell PXA930

RAM 128

ROM is marked up at 4gig but I think they mean memory card. Not sure about the actual "rom" size.

Details are still sketchy and im not sure where PDADB got a lot of this from to be honest.

At this moment I've a HTC TyTN II, maybe this would be my new device too!

Since I've seen this device I'm doubt between the HTC Touch Pro and the Glaxy7. Should I miss the hardware keyboard? I'm still writing on the screen mostly because I forget my keyboard. :o

The Touch Pro has 288MB Ram vs the Glaxy7 with just 128MB, the Touch Pro has a keyboard, the Touch Pro has a bigger user community.

-click-

Other models I've been doubting but no go because:

- HTC Touch Diamond; no card slot

- HTC Touch HD; 25% more pixels but same cpu, only touchscreen no buttons, too big device?

- Samsung Omnia: too glossy for me, crappy case, no good experience with Samsung phones (no experience with their PPC's)

- Sony Ericsson: I'don't like the buttons of the keyboard, I was always a Ericsson fan (later SE) but with this don't know. Beside if I've to choose between the Touch Pro and the Xperia l'll choose the HTC. More RAM and bigger community.

The camera is for me no point to choose. At least, that would be my last point. It's reasonable the camera is one of the choosing facts. But remind that Windows Mobile isn't good with photo's.

E-ten has new devices too, but that is Acer. My experience with the Acer notebooks are not good. Cheap silly things!
[General Topics] Monty Burns:
your forgeting that the Glaxy has a 5mp camera as well.... this is important (at least to me)

Actually i don't want a suck CPU in my phone that make it slow enough for dialing, browser internet / photos and watching movie lagging same as an old-style projector in classroom.

Yes, the qualcomm having ATI Imageon, but also no HW support both 2d and 3d, so no VGA now.

If this machine really using intel cpu, this should be cool and the greatest PDA phone ever.

asus quality..

i used to have an asus p535 and it was one of the best pocket pcs that i owned.

it was very powerfull and it does not hang.

the built quality was excellent and the color does not peel because it is melted with the plastic itself.

the GPS was sirf III one of the best reciever in the world.

what i want to say is that asus products are very good but asus lacks the marketing touch to sell its products.

galaxy 7 will be a great device ,i am sure and i am looking forward for its release.
[General Topics] Monty Burns:
its good to hear from someone who has actually used a previous Asus PDA. Thanks for sharing your experience.

I must admit, i'm already sold on the Glaxy even though I am growing positivley towards my Diamond again - despite its poor hardware build quality.

Is this a new fashion? WVGA and WQVGA?

I like big screens, but I don't like software incompatibility...
[General Topics] Monty Burns:
My old (Now) G900 had an 800*480 screen and I only found issues with older versions of TomTom. Like it or not, I reckon this will become the new "standard" screen res and as such, people are/will develope code to handle it.
[General Topics] msjfb:
I have been using a Samsung Omnia for a few weeks now, and previously I used an Asus P525 for a little over 1 year. I still have the P525 (keeping it as spare).

Build quality: Asus is top notch as far as I am concerned, on par with my previous SE phones (P800,P900). High quality material all around on the P525.

Omnia is not bad at all, although the plastic case and back will get scratched quite fast, I think. There have been a number of complaints about Omnia units having to be returned for some sort or other hardware problem. Difficult to evaluate how serious it is as you only hear from the people having problems, not those that have not had any.

Software: This is where I think the Omnia is weak at this point in time: there are still a number of bugs in the OS (some major, some minor), whereas the P525 was rock solid (went from WM5 to WM6 no problem). Is it a result of rushing to market ? Nonetheless, Samsung is releasing ROM updates just about every month, so they are certainly trying... Flashing an Omnia is not an easy (or safe) process (no booloader method found to date), and a hardware initiated hard reset is very difficult to achieve (the only time I really had to use it it took me 30 minutes of button pushing to finally initiate the Hard Reset).

If the upcoming Galaxy7 is anything like my P525 and has the right specifications, and Samsung does not clear up a certain number of things that are important to me, I may very well switch.

My 2 cents...
[General Topics] netnerd:
"WCDMA Frequency: 900/1900/2100 (Sorry US readers )"

so it works in 1900umts in USA 3G, right?

i know it should works, but i just want to make sure. haha
[General Topics] windowsmob6:
Yeah. But it's good for reading emails...
[General Topics] pidsw:
Maybe I a in the minority here, but I love HTC devices. I have a Samsung Omnia (not at all buggy with the latest firmware) but what really bothers me is the fact that the dev community is so small. XDA is worlds beyond anything that Samsung or Asus has.

The Omnia is nice, but my Kaiser is more practical in many cases due to the rom and software on it.

(That an all those buttons + keyboard)

I will say that the Omnia is well built, and the reception is good.

I think that most people wanting higher res on such a small screen are on crack. With anti-aliasing (like every good app should have), you are just wasting GPU/CPU power and memory.

I'd take a 240x400 3.2" screen over a 480x640 2.8" screen any day.
[General Topics] netnerd:
you just make yourself looks like a fool! try a VGA 1st, then come back to me! QVGA is almost un-useable wirh remote desktop, and it so much harder to navagate or fine stuffs on internet! I wouldn't use a QVGA if u give to me for free!
[General Topics] pidsw:
You caught my bluff, I have never owned a VGA phone other than the Advantage, and that had a 5" screen.

When using apps on other peoples VGA 2.8" phones, I prefer the extra screen space and screen refresh speed on my Omnia.

I am biased, given that I program games for a living. While the goals and displays are different, we always use the lowest acceptable resolution that gives us good results. There may been many beautiful games from last gen (Xbox 1, Ps2, Wii) that ran at an effective resolution of ~580x224 (interlaced) or ~580x448 (progressive scan).

Doubling the resolution costs 4x the GPU and typically 4x the memory.
[General Topics] Monty Burns:
which is one of the reasons these VGA+ resolution devices almost all have a custom GPU and not some "out of the box" rubbish. They also tend to have far more memory.

By all means, stick to a low res device but as the market demands higher res screens, you will become obsolete and so uncompatible with more and more apps.

Would you still be using a VGA (800x600) monitor at home? I don't think so! :D

what about tv out and FM radio

Can anybody confirm about tv out and FM radio and headphone socket size.I am using Jasjar but due to limited memory size and heavy weight i want to switch.(Jasjar is a great device no other device offers so much)

One more thing why all manufacturers are killing infrared in new devices which is very useful.I personally think that 4'' screen size in a compact build is must for serious Pda work but there is no Phone devices available.

Touch HD screen size is good enough with excellent total-size build but other limitations are there no directional keys or joystick,no tv out,No INFRARED,less rom size compare to other latest devices,no flash light which can be useful in some emegency situations.
[General Topics] hdubli:
I agree to what kilihari says and the good news is the device exists and is pretty cool.Look this thread for more information later ;)

I have found the only two pictures of this device. If anyone has found any more pictures other than these, please post them :cool:.

[General Topics] athanaso77:
Why do you intend to call it Glaxy? :confused:

I find it everywhere as a Galaxy!
[General Topics] Kilihari:
I am sure that you do!

My friend, ASUS calls all of their new phones Glaxy1, Glaxy2, Glaxy3, and so on and so forth, this just happens to be the Glaxy7. Again please read the original source of the information on this phone located here http://pda.pl/news/pelna_specyfikacja_glaxy7_zest, and it says in plane English, Glaxy7. Every place that has it spelled as Galaxy 7 is just making up a name for it. Probably so they don't get people asking the same question that you are asking :D

-Kilihari.
[General Topics] drzoid:
Thanks for the name explanation.

So does anyone already have more information about it? Respectively what kind of touch screen it might have. The same about the P565
[General Topics] hdubli:
wait for some time ..u will find all the information u need..I can just now tell that it is fast and better than Omnia, HD, and other phones in the same form factor...the track ball work flawlessly and speed is amazing..there are other goodies as well :)
[General Topics] Kilihari:
I LIKE IT!

You know, when I read your post, I suddenly thought of a movie and two of my favorite movie quotes that seem so pertinent with the Glaxy7

1. "I'd buy that for a dollar!!" :cool:

2. "I like it!" :eek:

Then it just so happens that I found the clip on YouTube, go figure.

http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=TBjAE4wxG9Q

On the serious side for one second, I really do hope that this device will have the same CPU as the P565 because then this would be the greatest device ever made. Can you give us any hints as to how fast this will be? Or is the specs sheet pretty much on target?

-Kilihari.
[General Topics] drzoid:
Thanks, are you referring to the P565 or the Glaxy7? You mentioned you would have the possibility to review the former, would you already have some information?

From the specifications both look really interesting.

A bit concerned about the touch screen. It looks like you have to press very hard to get a response.

Anyone able to give real world feedback ?

Zuber
[General Topics] Zuber:
Just to correct myself on he last post.

If you watch the whole video, it doesn't look so bad. A much lighter touch and drag is being used later on. Shame no attempt was made to use a finger instead.

Also:

Hi hdubli,

You did not post back with any more info like you you first suggested. Have you been told to keep quite ?

I'm trying to get an idea of how long I'd have to hang on rather than take the plung and go for a HD instead...

Also, from the photos published. Does that look like a flash or LED next to the camera lense to you :) ?

Zuber
[General Topics] drzoid:
Me too, even though I am currently a bit scared because of mentioned issues of the HD in terms of the display, paint and performance.

Unfortunately the M8 isnt a 3G phone, otherwise it would be a real competitor.

[General Topics] Kilihari:
Wooo... guess what I found?

Ok, I was all depressed because of the processor... then I did some research on the MSM7200A Qualcomm Processor. Found out it is Dual-Core, it has one 528MHz ARM11 processor and one 256MHz ARM9 processor. OOO... I am remotely interested in this device again. This phone has the same CPU as the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1. I gotta see this new Asus phone in action, there is just too many questions I have. For me the choice has been narrowed down too two different smartphones; the Asus P565(True 800MHz Power) and the Asus P835(Dual Core :confused: ).

Download the .PDF file spec sheet for the CPU from rapidshare.com here: http://rapidshare.com/files/174867088/msm7200a_chipset.pdf.html

The Xperia is not that great video wise, so that dual core means nothing. It is actually very disappointing.

I want this awesome bad boy now!! :(
[General Topics] hdubli:
Yes March 2009 is the correct date..
[General Topics] Kilihari:
Date.

Honestly, with HTC quality diminishing even more than the diminished state it was currently in (clear coat and paint chips just flaking off from the phone, lagging gps, slow TouchFlo, the video playback hasn't really improved in two years!, and most of all the friggen PcBoad in all HTC phones lasts one year, one friggen year and then it is done, so you tell me if that is a good thing?).

I am looking forward to anything from ASUS, I will buy anything that comes from this company because I know it is of the most highest quality .... and price ehehheeh. but.. it is always the best of the best and I will have no problem shelling out 500-1000 bucks for this item.

I have replaced the case on my Hermes 200 a total of 2 times, the screen once, the keyboard twice, the pcboard once, I mean... I don't know what to say, on top of that the antenna, the rubber little POS antenna has fallen out twice randomly and I have had to replace that 50 dollar jewel. So ... you tell me.. after reading this whole site and seeing the physical pictures of all of the problems with paint with the newer HTC devices even having a worse time keeping the paint and clear coat on them than the old devices, my choice is absolutely clear, HTC has fallen off of the path, ASUS is the way!

I can wait for MARCH 2009.

-Kilihari :D
[General Topics] hdubli:
Wizard and Hermes have this problem..the display controller is on the d-pad and when some thinh goes wrong..it is a hell lot of a job to fix this...one has to try replacing motherboard, or the central strip or the D-PAd all the way..the beter combination of all three then sometimes work..but it costs a fortune and lot of time..HTC did fix this in Kaiser...but this has effect in the charging base connectivity..it looses afger a 6 month's use...

Asus..no such issues so far..
[General Topics] Zuber:
So what are the chances of the Asus units getting unofficial Android support (Like the HTC Units are now starting to get). Or would it be better to go for an actual Android version (are Asus planning one?)

HI

soI just brought a mi stick. I currently have a firestick but are getting an extra couple of TV's so thought mi stick mat be the way to go cost wise.

It loads fine, and connects fine. It is close to the roiuter, and no other settings or phyical things have changed compared to firectick use (i take one stikc out, put the other in).

My issue that every 30 seconds or so the screen goes black for a couple of seconds, This happens if usinf netlfix, or anything else, even if in the sticks own menus.

Is this connection dropping? If so how do I stop it. I have tried the 5g and non 5g option of connecting to my vodafone router. I am in the EU.

Any ideas anyone? Much appreciated if so...

Hello, I have bought an LG Velvet ATT unlocked. I cannot update via OTA because I think it needs an ATT account and sim card for it to update via the ATT network but I live in Europe. I can't find ATT kdz firmware anywhere to manually update so I thought I might as well flash the Canadian android 11 stock firmware since it has the same model number as ATT LM-G900UM. Obviously, the software version numbers are slightly different. I want to keep LGs software because I need it for pen support. I can not find instructions on how to flash another region's firmware but I've read that it's possible as long as the hardware is the same.
