[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quazar0:
So right now android is limited to 64k colour, but the HTC Hero's screen is capable of 262k colour. With android 2.0 supporting up to 16 million colour displays, will this mean that it will make use of the hero's 262k colour?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benlc:
Does it really make any difference on a screen of that size ? I don't really realize.

Btw I haven't seen anything about that, and I didn't noticed any difference about the screen when I tried the leaked version on 2.1 for hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iammorris:
It would be safe to assume that if 2.0 introduced 16 million colours, then yes, 2.1 will also include it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quazar0:
I noticed it on my custom wallpapers. I tend to use simple ones and I noticed colour separations on gradients on most of my background wallpapers. I believe 262k colours would solve that problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huey85:
odd, I thought this is a hardware restriction, rather than a software restriction - please correct me if I'm wrong so I know for future reference :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thiesen:
Count me in on this one... :-)

It would be very interesting to know what the actual GPU (if you can call it that on these kind of systems) really can do. I atleast know that they're capable to use hardware acceleration hardware-wice but I am unsure of whether Android is making any use of it or not.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marazi:
to me it seems like android 2 is 256, the screen and colors seems a lot better, brighter, clearer... but it might just be my imagination though :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E2K:
I also asked this, but no good answer came out of it.

Can anyone with a 2.0 rom just look at an image like this, from their hero of course!:

or click it

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E2K:
anyone?????
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfgamaral:
If no one does it before me, when I get the chacne, I'll try a quick update to one of those 2.1 ROMs floating around and see if I notice a difference to the current versions.

P.S: The correct values are 65K and 256K.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
The correct values are 65K and 262K! ;)

262k is 18-bit colour - 6 bits per pixel, 64 × 64 × 64 = 262144 colour combinations.

if using the default htc sense to set wallpaper ofcoz it looks homo, it changes the quality of the pic ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfgamaral:
I, for one, am not talking about just the wallpapers but I've seen a few apps (don't ask me to name one cuz I can't remember them now) with a couple of gradients and the banding was very visible and it kinda sucked that it looked that way.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nelly1977:
im running 2.1 and to my eye havent noticed any great increase if at all.

When looking at pics in album app they always looked great in 1.5 1.6 etc.

The only issue i seemed to notice was with wallpapers where i beleive (just my guess btw) that images are scaled down in quality to allow the wallpaper to take up less memory and therefore it would run a bit quicker/smoother
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rivethead:
I've taken a look at the picture above (downloaded it of course, 'cause the browser resizes large images) from the Lox's 2.0 rom. I can tell that the colours are looking very smooth in most cases, only the diagonal gradients have some minor artifacts. There is an example of "bad" picture, and it is much more ugly and rough than the picture I see. So it is possible to assume that 2.0 has the increased colour depth support on hero. To check that, someone should make this experiment on 1.5 rom and compare his results with mine.

EDIT: There is some little diagonal gradient banding on my desktop LCD too. Is this because of low quality of my display, or the picture originally has banding - I dunno. 8)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E2K:
I confirmed it the day before yesterday, 2.0 rom has 18 bit colors.

I came to this conclusion by comparing wallpapers on a 1.5 hero and a 2.0 rom equipped one.

What do you mean 18 bit colours? Is it noticably better?

Hi all,

I am absolutely loving my Leo but have noticed a problem with my camera. it takes about 30 seconds for the shutter round and for the photo to be taken. immediately after taking the photo my phone freezes with the camera shot on the screen. I have altered a few settings like disabling widescreen and have tried putting these back to default with no success. my camera has been working previously.

also I am seeing that red stripe in the photos that I have read about on here before. any help is greatly appreciated.
[HD2 General] maati:
Have you tried a hard reset?

If that doesn't help, it's likely a hardware fault of the autofocus mechanism.

1000: 462 ms

PiCalc.exe just copy to your device and run.

I hate to say it, but probably not. The only ways I know of to remove any WinCE software or drivers require the device to at least boot into Windows Mobile. I'd say the only way to use the device again would be a hard reset. Sorry

Since we are on the Topic of a FireWall, I'm sure people will look up something for Internet.

DroidWall is the app name and its free on the Market.

If you don't have a data plan like me, this is the best thing if you are tired of using APN droid when you want to enable MMS, just go to whitelist and select Messages. Thats it!

I haven't seen any glitches in the app or crashes.

When the flash finished the Touch Flo screen came up then

The Red text to the bottom right comes up.

After that nothing else happens.

and the other was messing the phone up.

I have Hard SPL Olinex 1.43 Is there anything I can do to fix it?

I can still put it Hard Reset mode and reset it but it Just shows me the

I'm about to have a G1 soon. Just would like to know, how does the built-in email app in 2.0 compares to K-9...? Which one is better in your opinions?

Thanks in advance.
[G1 Apps and Games] shaneaus:
I use Gmail for my personal use as it pushes the email out as soon as it arrives.

I use K-9 Mail for my work email account - there is no push - K-9 Mail can be set to check the mail at different intervals.

They both are free and they both have a few different features.

My advice - use them both for awhile and then get rid of whatever one you like the least.
[G1 Apps and Games] jordanjay29:
Unless you're using a half-complete Eclair rom, you won't be getting 2.0 email until HTC updates their drivers.

But if you're looking for push email, Seven is a good one. It's in beta, so you have to register (but it's automatic, no waiting), but the client isn't that bad. It pushes through their servers like Google does for Gmail, and it also works for other email services like Hotmail, Yahoo, Aol, etc.
[G1 Apps and Games] tdusen:
K-9 does do Push. If you connect to an IMAP server, K-9 uses the IMAP IDLE command to quietly wait for mail notification. I get notified on my phone as fast as running Thunderbird on my PC.
[G1 Apps and Games] tekkitan:
Thunderbird isn't push :P

But the OP was wondering about the Android 2.0 E-mail app if I am not mistaken, not the Gmail app.
[G1 Apps and Games] bug666:
Yep. It's my understanding that in 2.0 the Gmail app has been integrated into the Email app, correct?

I'm getting a G1, probably will install Cyan on it. But I don't like 2 email apps. So I wonder if there's a compelling reason to use a half-baked 2.0 on it.

Thanks to all.
[G1 Apps and Games] tdusen:
I guess it depends on your definition of push.

Most people think of Push email as Instant notification. Thunderbird connected to an IMAP server provides instant notification by using the IMAP IDLE command. This does require a permanent connection to the IMAP server.

Find out more about Thunderbird and IMAP here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/IMAP

And this paper compares various methods of "Push" notifications: http://www.isode.com/whitepapers/imap-idle.html

K-9 Supports IMAP IDLE and so gives instant notification of new mail.

(I'm not the developer, just a fan)
[G1 Apps and Games] tekkitan:
I wasn't aware Thunderbird did that, I don't use it as such, not really a big fan of it. I point all my personal domains e-mail to Gmail :)

edit: I also tried k-9 for another one of my accounts. Didn't like it that much. The interface was mostly annoying to me.

DateBk

There is a rumor that Pimlico is in the process of developing the DateBk app for Android. DateBk is the most advanced and best calendar ever made. After taking the step from Palm OS to Android I realized that Android was missing a proper calendar. Is has Google Calendar of course, but it’s made to be simple and easy to use for beginners. For me and other users who has gotten used to DateBk, the Google Calendar will not do the job as a calendar as we would expect. DateBk is the only app that meets the demand of advanced user, even in 2010.

My prayer goes to Pimlico to speed up the development of DateBk for Android.
