[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
thats great for you, nobody said you couldn't do this with a samsung device. But that still doesn't change that you talk about HTC Sense without having used it really...while of course you can still have some impressions of it, you won't see all benefits from screenshots.

Omnia top of the shelf? well maybe in your mobile stores shelf...sorry i really have NO problem with anybody having different preferences, but calling the OMNIA "top of the shelf" is a joke. When the OMNIA was released it was NOTHING special, just a standard wm device with the samsung widgets. The hardware was PURE STANDARD, the UI was nothing to rave about. It wasn't a bad device, but definetly not top of the shelf. well maybe the pricing was high end..;)

yeah i already wrote that TouchFlo was SLOW. And i believe that there were some problems. But comparing an old device like the TP with the Samsung Moment is not making much sense, right? The OMNIA had its own share of problems and lags, for example.

thats absloutely ok, but i really hope that you don't choose your devices depending on what your friends might like. ;) As i said, there is no perfect device for everybodys needs, but it's not as easy as "HTC Sense = nonsense eyecandy and Samsung Android = perfect solution". It's more complicated than that...

well and as you know, a chick which may be beautiful to you, can also be ugly to others. thats why such comparisons are nonsense. so you might think that you are taking out the prettiest chick out there with your samsung moment, while other people laugh agt how ugly she is. ;)

one week with moment

Okay I spent a good 30 minutes tying out a good review but some how it didn't get posted so I'm keepin this one short

800 mhz processor my work just upgraded to new computers last year had 400 mhz dells

I've been addicted to sprint tv since I found it

Had upstage fomer quality issues gone

Lost headphone adapter love universal jack

Phone is saving me form spending thousands on a computer

Neighbor has open wifi ;)

YES I've crashed it.

Only factory reset once

Have noticed a few bugs

Filled internal memory; that's what brought me here

Looking to root phone

Why have 2 gig expanble sim and not able to put anything on it

Can't think of internal size

Just note don't try to put all soundboards on phone

That's my dollar-fity
[Hero, G2 Touch General] quixotiCfluX:
Hero 1, Moment 0

I've used both and I think the Hero is much better, here's why:

I originally got the Moment, but after two days I returned it. After turning off all the extra radios (WiFi, BT, GPS) and not letting any apps except the bare minimum run in the background, the battery would still not last more than 5 hours.

This was my experience, and from what I've read online and from speaking to the reps at the Sprint HQ campus store (in Overland Park, KS) this is a typical experience.

I returned the phone and got the Hero instead and I have been much more happy with it. The phone will run for two days with the power savings steps I used on the Moment to only get 5 hours.

Average usage, which for me is a few emails, texting, a little web browsing, and maybe a few app downloads from the market, I can arrive at the end of the day (7 am = 10pm) with charge left.

For me the Hero was a better choice, plus Sense UI gives you scenes and 7 home screens, so you can have your phone set up one way during the week and another for the weekends, or even more if you need to.

My recommendation to anyone who is thinking about the Moment is to read the gizmodo review. It really is the ED-209. Superior to Robocop (HTC Hero), but only on paper, Robocop wins because he is smarter. The Hero is smarter.

This is Samsung's first Android phone. And it does not feel like the rest of their phones. They usually make solid, well-built devices, but this phone just feels cheap and sloppy.

Thats my experience after having used both phones.

Go with HTC Hero and maybe give Samsung another look once they've released a few more Android phones.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] washjayb:
I could not agree more. I have had both phones since release ( 2 lines). As someone who was genuinely torn between the two, the decision was clear after spending some time with the Moment. The Hero is far superior in my opinion.

The Amoled screen on the moment was hyped as being better for various reasons. I find the overall presentation somewhat dreary. I prefer the more simple but crisp and bright coloration on the Hero.

The 800 MHZ processor was a real selling point for the Moment. after using both phones for the past 9 days i find the overall experience to be similar. The edge does go to the moment as screen rotation is much faster. The Hero also takes a while to boot and has a significant delay when dialing. Page Loading speeds in the browser were nearly identical from home to the same site in desktop view. My question is where did the other 223MHZ go. I cant tell that there is so much more horsepower in the moment. Some say wait for root on the moment. But ultimately i dont think that there will be that much attention paid to a samsung given all of the competition right now. We all know that HTC cant be beat for support (XDA!!!!!!!!).

The Moment suffers from lag when typing into the HW keyboard. I actually type much faster using the Hero's virtual (after calibration). I must admit that i am used to virtual after 2 years with the Touch.

The Sense UI on the Hero makes the device much more user freindly. I find that I much prefer the interface to stock android. Just my opinion but HTC hit a home run with Sense.

I settled on keeping the Hero after one day with the Moment. I gave it to my girl. The phone seems very fragile to me. There are lots of tabs and the jangle of a HW keyboard. Some say get a phone that wont be obsolete in 6 months. I could not see a Moment taking a bad fall without something breaking. Get a phone that will last longer than 6 months. I went two years with the Touch and thanks to XDA it still in great shape and running 6.5 flawlessly.

Ultimately the most unbiased opinion i can offer is simply, If you have to have a keyboard get the Moment.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ydoucare:
Sense has been ported to the G1, so why would Sense have trouble running on the Moment, memory-wise? Doesn't the G1 only have 192 Mb of RAM?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] beyawnko:
man. hearing people call the tp old is making my titan feel bad. haha.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] emenny81:
first lets start off i was using a g1 on tmobile but I switched to sprint and I am now using a moment. here are my thoughts

-hardware keyboard is really slow, its gives the impressing you didn't type correctly.

-proximity sensor is really slow when you remove the phone from your ear(this was the deal breaker for me I loved this feature on the iphone)

-android 1.5 (come on 1.6 is out)

-phone locked up couple times so I decided to do a factory reset(hasn't locked up again!!!cross fingers)

-to unlock the phone you have to wait for the screen to come up, there's a small lag and since the menu button is touch you have to wait for the screen to come up, my g1 was very fast

-camara is slow in loading.

-google voice caused problems with my usb causing my sd to unmount when the cable is connected to the pc, so I had to uninstall google voice.

-the phone is a bit bulky(compared to hero and iphone. (I've only used iphone 3g and tmobile g1)

-ring extender missing from Market, but fixed it by creating a ringtones folder on my sd card.

I disabled all the widgets from my screens.

These are my thoughts let me know if you guys find anything else.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mrjeancw:
anybody have anything to say on this quote??? i have seense sense run on g1, why so hard to put on moment?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] emenny81:
I've used the hero sense on my g1 and to me it was really slow, it made the phone slower in apps some of the stuff wouldn't work right, to me the best custom rom for the g1 is cyanogenmod. With that said the g1 is HTC the hero is HTC, the moment is Samsung there's got to be some proprietary libraries in the code or even drivers that are hardware specific to the hero and g1. Bottom line if you want a custom interface just stick with the hero or cliq why go to the hasle of porting it over to another phone. Oh and I returned my two moments and got 2 hero's I just coulnd't deal with the problems on the moment.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] blackbarby:
HTC hero rom for Samsung Moment

I promise to donate or pay upfront for the HTC hero sense ui on the Samsung Moment. The reason why is I love the slide out keyboard and the faster processer. I dont like on screen keyboards as they tend to be to small for my fingers. even scrolling i use the down arrows. I think the moment is a solid phone its just the apps are very basic.

I think you really need to find a dev forum for the Moment, because I doubt you'll get much joy here!

I performed the below hack:

1) Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Key\112 using any Registry Editor.

2) Tap on the Default string to open it up and change the value data to eg: Message.

3) Tap on the Open string to open it up and change the value data to Messaging.exe.

4) Reset your Phone or remove the battery to finalize the change.

I want to change it back and cannot remember what it was originally.

What do I need to put where it says Messages on the default string?

What do I need to put where it say Messaging.exe on the open string?

Boot into recovery and wipe then reapply the rom and see what happens. The first initial boot after a rom flash does take about a min or so longer than after the first boot.

If the phone is frozen I suggest you put it over a nice warm fire..... Turn it every 2-3 minutes until phone is warm to the touch.

NOW THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART, you must sit on the phone and let it intubate.... after it hatchs wrap it in a hot towel and show it lot of love.

Can anyone help me solve this problem?

I exported all my old contacts to a CSV. I then updated my Hero's ROM and started fresh. To get my contacts back I just imported them into my google contacts and synced the phone.

It appeared to sync fine, all the contacts came up - but NONE of them have any phone numbers, birthdays, other information that is all clearly there when I view the contacts in gmail.

Birthdays etc I can deal without, but no phone numbers is a BIG problem as I have over 400 contacts and I'm not interested in typing them all back into the phone. Why isn't google contacts sync working correctly?

Has anyone else had this problem?

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy_in_Indy:
I had trouble synching the contacts I had uploaded to the gmail web site on my wife's phone. we go them to synch correctly by forcing a new synch event.

go Home and press Menu

Select Settings, the "Data Synchronization" form the list that comes up

Select Google from the next list

Under the section "Application sync settings" remove the checkmark next to Contacts

Wait a few seconds then put the checkmark back. This fiorced a synch and pulled up the gmail contacts that were loaded on the web page.

I hope this helps!

Well that is interesting... I do not have a media folder to select after i hit the start tab. The way i found it before was file explorer > windows > youtube
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] HTC Touch Freak:
Sorry, I wasn't saying u have a media folder or should have one. Different Roms from Carriers and cooks have different folders. Be sure to check all folder in the start menue.

Since you found the youtube app here is how to get it on the start page. Very easy.

-In file explorer go to where the app is.

-long press on the app and copy it

-Now go to Windows>Start Menu>Programs

-when u get there press menu.

-scroll to edit and select paste

-close file explorer.

-hit start and enjoy

You can also creat new folders and nake ur own nedia folder and put all ur media apps there. just cut and paste instead of copy and paste.

Well, maybe some of you have noted that i was not posting haha. its because im busy at school.. all those knowledge things etc.

Ok, when i saw that title i was already thinking in something that could make a revolutionary change O:!!

Actually, you can fit a resistive screen layer on a capacitive screen surface.

Just with the needed configuration, driver and alternation between screens (ie: using resistive for pen works as writing programs and capacitive for multi-touching things)

Imagine, using the fingertip to scroll smoothly and writing with a pen at the same time ;D! (Just an idea... no one would do that, but anyone could do ;D)

Just with the right libaries, drivers, software and OS modifications.

cuff cuff M$ could try this on its phone or for the new wm7 cuff cuff...

Just an idea ;D!

See ya !!

leo... while your waiting on the LEO, just go to an at&t store and play with one on an iphonie :D
[General Questions and Answers] skulk3r:
capacitive means that you can put a screen protector on it and it will be pretty much just as sensitive =]

but perhaps the best part is that you can just glide your finger over the surface and it will respond...resistive screens are much less sensitive.

I have read somewhere that HTC was working on a capacitive stylus though..sothat would be the best of both worlds =]
[General Questions and Answers] leobox1:
am i right to assume,

resistive = precise but not sensitive

capacitive = not precise but sensitive
[General Questions and Answers] leobox1:
wont it be thick? the screen..
[General Questions and Answers] Shasarak:
Resistive screens work by detecting pressure, so you have to press on them, sometimes quite hard. Capacitive screens can detect the lightest of touches. So capacitive screens tend to be more responsive. If you're trying to type on an on-screen keyboard at speed then a capacitive screen is usually far better - you can actually type rapidly rather than having to methodically press. each. key. one. at. a. time.

Another important difference is that, for practical purposes, resistive screens cannot support multi-touch - they can only detect being pressed in one place at once. That means they can't do things like iPhone-style pinch-zooming which requires the phone to track you pressing in two different places at the same time. (There are multi-touch resistive displays but they're too expensive or difficult to use on a device like a phone).

The upside of resistive screens is that you can press them with almost anything. A conventional stylus won't work on a capacitive screen, neither will your fingernail - only skin. So you can't stab the screen with a convenient pen-top, and it won't work if you're wearing gloves. There has been some work done on creating special capacitive styluses - I'm not sure how well they work in practice and they're not yet widely available.
[General Questions and Answers] TMReuffurth:
A capacitive one works like the touchpad of a laptop. Sometimes i would prefer a capacitive screen on my Touch HD but sometimes even not. Because you can get much easylier error inputs with a capacitive screen. It just needs that your finger touchs slidly the screen and a input is made. But with a resistive screen you really have to press on it.

A screen with both tecs would be nice, have read something about this, but don´t remember who is inventing this.
[General Questions and Answers] Ouzo:
Don't know if it's because it's capacitive, but the iPhone screen always seems more readable in direct sunlight compared to my Touch Pro (or Touch 3G, or Touch).

For me personally, I think the problems of cold hands or a stylus not being able to work the screen outweigh the benefits. I also can't get my head around pinch to zoom - I love watching iPhone users trying to demonstrate the feature with one hand, sort of juggling it around trying not to drop it. I prefer double tapping on the bit you want to zoom in on. I can't wait to play with a Leo and see which works best in a 'Windows Phone' environment.
