p.s. this phone is awesome! i love it!
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] Dark9781:
Awesome Phone

This phone is awesome. The speed is great and the UI isn't bad either. It is LG's S-CLass UI. You have 3 home screens. The first is the basic home screen with your time, date, and other assorted info. It also has a sliding taskbar with three different sets of shortcuts that can be customized. One of the shortcuts is a menu to a shortcut menu that you can also customize. The other home scree is for your favorite contacts. The third is for your favorite multimedia. The biometric scanner is one of the best features about the phone. No more passwords and easy unlocking. What's even better is that it also acts as a d-pad. It is equipped with 197.04 MB of storage memory and 202.56 MB of program memory, but the S-Class UI does take up a lot of memory. I average between 55-60 MB of free space once loaded. The one thing I don't like is there is no program to close apps. This was a bit of a disappointment since it existed on the Incite I have. You have to go into the task manager to make sure your programs are closed. I know there are a few alternatives here on xda that will do this function though. Like all windows phones it is easily customizable. Overall this phone is great and I would recommend it. I can't wait until I'm able to cook for it and clear out all the useless AT&T bloatware.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] eviltuna:
You can use the multi-tasker to close apps.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] travelingsurfer:
I got my phone today. This phone is fantastic. I love the fact that it has a feature to double as a remote and control my computer from across the room. Not to mention all the other features.. Something tells me, I'm not going to get much sleep tonight. :)
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] ransflyer:
What is the build quality like? do you think it will crack within the first 2 weeks?

I'd like to know about battery life as well.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] O2mini_noob:
Call Quality

What's the call quality and loudness like compared to the Xperia?

The Xperia (with Stock ROM) has a soft in-call volume even when set to full volume. Have to install audiopara tweak to boost the X1 volume.

Does the LG volume require boosting?
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] josefcrist:
i cant wait until you start cooking also. i will be getting one as soon as i can find a good deal.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] Dark9781:
This is true, but that does require hitting the multitask button and then physically closing each app. On the Incite there was a program that ran in the background that made the x button close most apps.

[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] killerskincanoe:
very pleased to tell you that the stock volume is just perfect.. NICE and loud and crisp sounding..

and same goes with the vibration motor... I can actually feel this one.. vs the x1 where it was so faint it almost wasn't there.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] oTToToTenTanz:
Very good news. I can't feel xperias vibration...Erm,does it come out in Europe anytime soon? It's not soo expensive in amazon.com. I saw it for 499 dollars (ish) without contract. That's absolutely a good price.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] O2mini_noob:
Thank you very much for the feedback. I'm interested now.

By the way, the S-Menu ie. the four rows of apps, is it configurable so that you can insert your own app shortcuts?
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] killerskincanoe:
as far as i can tell.. no you can't.. but that's not to say some genius won't find the config files or reg keys that will allow you to do such...

then again i don't use the LG menu very much.. spb mobile shell is where it's at imho.. it can only get better :)

p.s. i've been using the camera a lot more recently. and i must say i'm pretty pleased with it as well too..can't wait for it to allow zoom in 5mp shots tho.. can currently only do it in pics smaller than 5mp.. x1 was like that at first too..
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] madfatter:
g sesnor

does this phone have a g sensor? i was holding out for an att hd2 but with nothing in sight i was considering getting one of these with a 2 yr contract for 100 through amazon att. I currently have a fuze and with sense ui and the recent release of pfsce .10 i am looking for something for snappier. i am a little reluctent to stay away from htc and go back to stock roms. would you recommend it?
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] ring-bearer:
How are pictures in dim light? Any better than X1?
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] killerskincanoe:
lol roughly the same.. but i'm not one to look for pictures i can take in low light.. i know the importance of light when it comes to pictures.. thus why i've never understood about people taking pictures in pitch black or no light environments with their phone cameras and then complaining that the tiny lil flash it's got didn't make their picture bright enough ahha.. i.e. i use my DSLR if i wanna take a pic of something in low light... not my phone...

however i do use my phone for some macro shots and those have been turnin out really well with this phone..
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] oTToToTenTanz:
I guess the vieo playback is good - it just has to be when you have a projector, but... do you feel the difference to xperia video playback? N how about custom roms. Do you think there will be a manila out for this LG phone?

I'd really like to have one =)
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] Dark9781:
Unfortunately LG locks down the acelsensor so that you can't use g-sensor games. They did this on the Incite and wouldn't release the coding to make g-sensor games compatible with the phone. If they hold true to this then most likely they won't release the coding for the eXpo's acelsensor either.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] theyllib:
As far as video playback, ive loaded up a 3 gig high def video onto my SD card and had my phone play it flawlessly, skipping around random spots instantly.. Its VERY snappy with video playback i think LG was on top of that. Compaired to every phone ive ever had this thing blows video away.. It competes with my desktop.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] doministry:
Well I just saw some video reviews and must say - not impressed at all.

I mean the formfactor is almost identical to X1/X2,

but actually has too many bad things to even consider it.

This touch sensor is not convincing at all, LG UI is senseless and looks like a

worse version of WM 6.5 and the keyboard is nice but lacks WM menu key....
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] ring-bearer:

I got the lg expo off ebay. i love windows mobile been a harcore samsung/winmo fan. this is my first lg. phones great , much better then i expected well worth it
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] killerskincanoe:
whipppe! we finally have it
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] trueg:
So is this the only 1GHz Snapdragon Windows Mobile resistive screen phone with a full qwerty keyboard currently on the market?

I currently have a Touch Pro and was having a hard time convincing myself to upgrade to a Touch Pro 2 when the only difference is a bigger screen. The Toshiba K01 is going to be capacitive, the Samsung OmniPro doesn't have HSPA 850 and the Acer M900 has too little memory (and possibly poor build quality?).
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] phatride4ever:
I believe your right. There are still not too many snapdragons out there yet. The fingerprint sensor is nice too. LG idles (LG's interface) isnt my favorite though.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] trueg:
My most used application is Remote Desktop Mobile to connect to my HTPC remotely. You really need a stylus to operate a desktop operating system and you can't properly use a stylus on a capacitive screen (I'm not interested in zooming in and out so that I can use my finger).

Although I just read that the eXpo doesn't have a stylus holder, that almost kills it for me.

Give the eXpo a 5 row qwerty keyboard, 3.5 mm headphone jack and a stylus holder and it would be perfect.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] phatride4ever:
Styles holder would be nice, I never had an issue with the 4 row. The good thing about the 4 row is that the keys arent close to the screen like the tp2 and there also is larger keys with the 4 row.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] josefcrist:
i dont like that the expo does not have a headphone jack also. but the biggest thing i dont like it i think the phone is too small also i think that the expo should have an option for an extended battery. but those are pretty small things i still like the expo more than any other hand held i have ever used.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] itsmebryan:
Right now I'm on the fence. My contract with ATT is up in july. I really want to replace my ATT Fuze. I'm stuck between getting the EXPO or Tilt2 now without a contract. Or I could just wait till the end of the year and maybe get a Win7 or android phone at the end of the year. Is the expo a big improvement over the fuze. Is the interface and good as the HTC? I have had HTC phones since the 8125 that I still have as back up. ;) Thanks for any input.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] josefcrist:
you can change the interface any time you want. the expo is way better than the fuze.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ General] trueg:
I was pretty much in the same situation. Previously owned a HTC Touch and Touch Pro. I really liked my Touch Pro but was itching for a bigger screen.

Played with a Tilt 2 for a bit and really liked it, but was very disappointed that it had pretty much the exact same guts as my Touch Pro. I found my Touch Pro a little sluggish and was disappointed that it couldn't handle VGA or WVGA DIVX content without being re-encoded. The GPS pissed me off and the camera pretty much sucked. Also, Left & Right on the directional pad was very difficult to execute reliably.

I am extremely satisfied with my LG IQ/eXpo. The snapdragon processor is significantly faster, even on the Titanium home screen, the animation is so much smoother. I can now download DivX movies and watch then on my phone without having to re-encode them. The screen is surprisingly bigger than my Touch Pro. The fingerprint scanner works quite well as a directional pad and the keyboard is actually very nice.

Cons:

- Since this phone was originally conceived as a Windows 7 phone, they didn't design a stylus holder. I have my LG stylus on my keychain for backup and I carry a full size Cross stylus in my pocket when I remember.

- I really miss the Ctrl button on my Touch Pro. The Tilt 2 doesn't have one either, but I was planning on swapping the keyboard with one from a Touch Pro 2.

- despite having a 5MPixel Camera sensor, the camera isn't that much better.

Pretty much the only thing the Tilt 2 has going for it over my IQ is the bigger screen and better support here on XDA. I find the IQ/eXpo is very easy to cook for and it doesn't require a Hard SPL.

Plus, a Tilt 2 would have cost me around $450. I purchased my IQ online, unlocked for $300. I am very satisfied. :D

Just a quick one here. Has anyone managed to get Gyrator to rotate photos that are opened within the HTC album. Have tried alsorts but to no avail. If anyone has then I would love to get the settings from them.

Cheers
[HD2 General] Archer:
Try using BsBTweaks - that works on the album for me.

Hello

Just tried using BSBTweaks. Added the HTCalbum app to it as it states. Soft reset and no difference. Photos still do not rotate in the HTC album. Any ideaa would be appreciated.

Thanks
[HD2 General] Archer:
Ah - photos won't rotate. They're always shown the same as when they were taken. If you set rotation for this with BSB, it does it for the album application, not the photo viewer.

I've not seen anything for the photo viewer, but I'm sure there'll be someone who can help.

Does anybody know if there is a finger friendly database program out there please ?

I was using Listpro, but now it is very uncomfortable to use , every time I want to scroll in my lists the program enters edit mode and I screw things up.

As I want to organize my DVD and CD Collection I am interested in what you are using for these things on our LEO.

Excel is not an option, so perhaps handbase or something else.
[HD2 General] Rod65:
So no one out there uses database programs on hd2 ?:(
[HD2 General] Klaus1960:
hello

I use ListPro and I agree that it is very finger-unfriendly but I wrote to them and they said an update may be in the works. Also if you use Gyrator (to turn the screen) whenever the edit menu comes up or when the keyboard becomes "sticky" this helps a lot. I don't know what I would do without ListPro!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mdacompact_iv:
I´ve read about the option, to change the font of TF3D. There was a zip-file with 4 fontfiles inside, all of them i have copied to the windows folder instead of \windows\fonts, because on my device there isn´t such a folder. After doing a softreset my TF3D has changed its font. But when i try to delete this files, it doesn´t work. Not by the file-explorer on the device and not by the explorer of the pc when connected using ActiveSync.

Is there a way to delete this fontfiles, so that the TF3D changes its font to the old one ?

Another question : How can i change the fontsize of TF3D-Font ? The calender on the home screen is a little bit too small.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] MarcLandis:
Disable TF3D then reset and try to delete the file.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mdacompact_iv:
No, it doesn´t work. The files cannot be deleted.

Maybe i should let them on the device, by the next hard reset they will be deleted anyway :D

[Android Software Development] LTourist:
Hi,

I try to make a widget for gmail in order to have the number of unread messages in my gmail box (the only existing app I found is not free and for a such basic feature, that's a shame!). To manage it, I thought about using the GmailProvider package, especially the android.provider.Gmail.LabelCursor class, you can find its documentation here.

I use dynamic loading because I don't have the source code so I can't do a regular import statement (see here).

But I can't manage loading the class in my application, always get an ClassNotFoundException...

final String apkFile = "/system/app/Gmail.apk:/system/app/GmailProvider.apk";
[...]
dalvik.system.PathClassLoader clsLoader =
new dalvik.system.PathClassLoader(apkFile,ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader());
Class<?> gmailProviderHandler =
Class.forName("android.provider.Gmail.LabelCursor", true, clsLoader);

Method m = gmailProviderHandler.getDeclaredMethod("getNumConversations", (Class[])null);
int nbConv = ((Integer)m.invoke(gmailProviderHandler, (Object[])null)).intValue();

Any idea ?

An other solution would be to use the atom feed, but using this package seems nicer to me.

Alternatively, is there a way I can get the source of this package, maybe the class name has changed since the javadoc (not official) has been written ???

Thanks,

LTourist
[Android Software Development] LTourist:
It's me again...

Nobody can help me ?

On my side, I've made some progress : I finally get some classes from the package. I did a dexdump on the package in xml, and it seems that the classes names do not match the ones in the package... That's kind of strange...

But now, I'm facing another problem... Whatever I do, I'm facing a NullException when I'm calling gmailProviderHandler.NewInstance((Class[]) null), and just for information, gmailProviderHandler seems to be not null, as an equals(null) is false...

Any idea from where this could be coming from ???

- With Oggsync normal, only one calendar too
