I looked up the specs of the Legend. The current specs of it wont even work with my provider. I'm soo stuck. The flash on the BB is big for me so I can take pictures whenever. But the interface and function of Android seems more refined. I havent had a good experience with my HTC and I dont know if they have upped their quality. You cant really tell from the hero because it hasnt been out too long but BB is known for the reliable builds of their phones.

Its really tough. Its a big investment for me and I need to know I'll have whichever phone for a while.
[General Topics] glitzbd:
I honestly don't own either phone, and have never ventured into Android land. However, I have tried both a Storm and a Storm II... and as for the Storm I felt it to be well... antiquated - when it came out mind you. The Storm II addressed many of the issues with the Storm, but it is a Blackberry that is touch screen. BB has not had a whole lot of experience with touch screens and it shows in their interface, it just felt... well poorly planned. I cannot comment on the Hero, but am eager to try one hah

I hope that kind of helped!
[General Topics] JAguirre1231:
Hero definitely, the only thing that can even come close to an Android phone is the iPhone, and it falls short for me every time.
[General Topics] Wond3r:
Come close in what sense though?

The Storm2 will be $100 more expensive for me. But I do get that 16gb sd card, camera flash, and BB reliabilty.

Hero, $100 cheaper, can surf the web away from wifi (will have a small data plan, would only have a social plan on the BB but I would use wifi when needed), ANDROID . .. but not sure on how much it would last me.

Before I bought my HD2, the Blackberry Storm has been my mobile phone for 13 month.

I don't know Android, besides some playing around, but my experience with the blackberry:

The first version (9500/9530) had many problems, mostly because of software flaws. After one year of developement it is now very usable. The built quality seems to be even better on the new device (Storm 2).

If you want to have a phone that simply works, take the Blackberry. There are no software problems, it always does what you expect. With BIS/BES Service for instant mails, the battery will last 3 days. But there is only a small amount of software available for Blackberrys. If you want a phone to play around with, try one with android.

Greetings from Germany and sorry for my bad english...

[General Topics] Wond3r:
You're english is fine actually! And thank you for your input. I'm wondering if I could play around with a Storm 2 as well.
[General Topics] poetryrocksalot:
HTC Hero Build Quality is better than Diamond I think. But It's not based on my usage experience, thought I've used the Diamond before. I think, in the U.S. atleast, that the HTC Hero is for higher-end consumers, and the Diamond was a very introductory device that meant to showcase Touch FLO3D. It was the first phone that had that interface, I think.

Diamond is not on-par to HTC Hero. But I tell you this, the HTC Xperia X1 was a fiasco and the build quality is really terrible. I bought this phone for 900 U.S. dollars, and ended up selling it heavily used and scratched for 250.

Considering that at that time, a high end device produced a year or two later had a build quality as crappy as a Diamond and from the same manufacturer, you might think that the Hero is very flimsy.

But you must also consider that the Xperia X1 was also a Sony Ericsson phone. It was built by HTC, but most likely designed or supervised by Sony Ericsson. Now the Xperia X1 is literally an experiment by Sony Ericsson as well as the Diamond an experiment by HTC. To tell you the truth, Sony Ericsson, prior to the production of the Xperia X1, was very inexperienced in the smartphone industry. Sony Ericsson are used to designing and selling walkmans (low-end software phones) and very flashy but very useless phones. But the point is that Xperia X1 was their first phone on THIS CATEGORY (THE SMARTPHONE), and that since it was their first phone, they are likely to mess up on the first try.

Considering that the Diamond was an experimental and introductory Touch FLO3D Phone, it should have been crappy. Now you are right to think that the Diamond was not HTC's first smartphone. But put into context the other aspects. 1) The diamond-like design that HTC had never done before and 2) the Touch FLO3D might originally be reflected by the external, physical design.

HTC Hero has been out for awhile now. But personally I hate HTC Hero and Storm 2. If I were to get an HTC budget phone, it would be the Nexus (based on everyone saying it has a good price for it's value), or the BlackBerry Bold 9700 (because I'm a keyboard lover).

But as for the reliable build of BlackBerries, my sister's BlackBerry Curve is scratched everywhere and lost all of its silver plastic chrome finish. But as for software, I don't think you should worry about issues on these phones.

But as for real software (especially the ones you intend on paying 50 bucks for), get the HTC Hero.
[General Topics] DuoM:
If your friends are all using BBM then really, you need a Blackberry. BBM is one of the main reasons behind the constant increase in device sales for RIM.

The Storm 1 was poor when it came out but after a year of fixes it was okay. The Storm 2 was good from the day it launched. However you really need to try that keyboard again and again to decide if you are happy with the click feature.

Personally I don't think much of the Hero: Small screen, slowish CPU, decent RAM, stupid chin that makes it bigger than it should be. I'm not sure how the Hero compares to the Storm 2 in terms of battery life but the Storm 2 has the bigger battery and Blackberries generally have decent battery life.

I don't know which country you're in or which network you're on but you have to remember that you'll need to have a Blackberry service package as part of your contract. With some networks this will be instead of the normal Data Package and it will also include data and with others you will need it in addition to the normal Data Package if you want to browse the web, etc.

I'm considering the Storm 2 as an option if the HD2 doesn't pan out.
[General Topics] Wond3r:
I just got back from the store and tested both phones out.

The Hero does seem like it is built very well (keep in mind, when holding in hand, so does my Diamond) but I found it hard to type on the small screen.

You might say that my Diamond has a smaller screen, which it does, but due to my resistive screen, I use my finernails basically and amd very quick and accurate ... you cant use your fingernails on a capacitive screen.

When I flipped to landscape, the typing was a bit better.

Storm2 .. the typing was muchhhh easier.

but the Anroid interface was very snappy, very nice.
[General Topics] poetryrocksalot:
Oh yeah, about the typing. I'm not a fan of touch screen typing and the Storm 2 is better for typing. I don't think it's that the screen is small but that there is no tactile feedback (aside from phone vibrate). In fact buttons on screens are usually bigger then physical buttons.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bert269:
I do a wipe each time I install a new ROM/try out a new ROM (data / dalvik-cache + ext).

For some reason, it seem to collect duplicates of my icons that are stored on the sdcard/media directory.

Any ideas how to clean this out only to have 'one copy' of these media files? There are no physical duplicates of these, but somehow there are duplicate pointers to these media files/icons.

Hi, All

I have a VPN problem that is strange. Here goes:

I have my Nexus One two days ago. It's not rooted and no APK installed on it.

At that time, the VPN worked very well.

Then, I unlocked and rooted it. Then I flashed a Pandora Firmaware. The firmware is here.

://d.epis.me/Pandora%20N%201.1%20for%20nexus.zip

After that, the VPN didn't work. I must wait for a long time after I started to connect, and an error message came out like this: "Can not connect to the server". If I use a wrong password, the VPN will tell me the pssword is wrong. The same VPN server can be connected by same username and password on my laptop, but not Nexus One. It is very strange.

Then I restored the original shipping firmware. It didn't work too. The reply of the VPN is the same as above.

The server is uk.focusvpn.com, and VPN type is PTPP. Encryption type I selected encryped and not encrypted, it didn't work on both.

Now the VPN on my Nexus One is totally broken. Can any good guy help me?
[Networking] yico0525:
oh well on focusvpn, u just need uncheck enable encryption , and save , reboot then it will work. if it still not work, u can try type 8.8.8.8 for dns address on vpn setting section..

i just noticed android doesn't support mppe encryption 2 days ago, so if there is any vpn need ppptd+mppe vertify then i won't work. that's all. u can try to diag by using ddms
[Networking] apango:
Thank u very much. I just find the reason as you said. So I have no way to solve it unless google let android support it.

Are you looking to connect ?????

Are you looking to connect to your corporation or institution's VPN connection on your Google Nexus One mobile phone?

Well seems like my Rom has to be messed its doing all kinds of crazy things even with next to nothing on it few system tweaks but they were never an issue to use before but now even with a hard reset, msn seemed to be the first thing to really go nuts the other day, i guess i have to reload this actual EVO 3.00 rom, which is still curent im guessing?, any idea's peeps styleZ. ?
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
You just answered your own question, reflash and see what happens:D
[HTC Excalibur] l0lcats:
You're not alone. I have found that these ROM's (including Ookba's) just go bad after awhile. They literally wear down.
[HTC Excalibur] HTCS621Smartphone:
actually it turns out i had 2.80 still i thought 3.00 but ya i copied 3.00 over and seems too be good now but msn still messed up works and doesnt like before, haha no worries i just picked up a Touch Pro CDMA :( and a new s621 with 6.1 on it, just gonna dump my 6.5 S621 : ))

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] djelwood:
I just purchased a TP2 and completed the HardSPL and installed the EnergyROM. However I still can't get the picture messaging to work correctly. My previous phone was a unlocked Sony W810i which I'm able to send and receive MMS messages with no problem. I've tried to duplicate some of the settings from phone to phone but I haven't had good results. I din't want to spend the extra money for the data plan because the phone has WIFI built in. All I want to do is be able to send and receive MMS messages. Can anyone help? Thanks.......Jason
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] animefan0611:
Hi! I too have a TP2 using for T-Mobile. I also don't have data plan, but I do have a unlimited messaging bundle. I'm using 6.5 Energyrom (which is the best btw) and at first it didn't let me send/receive MMS. I did some changes to make it work. I hope this will work on yours too.

Steps:

1. Go to Start-Settings-Connections and select Connection Setup and select t-mobile. Let the processing finish.

2. Soft-reset.

3. Go back again to Start-Settings-Connections and select Connections. Then, select manage existing connections. Edit T-Mobile Data, select next and when you get to access point name, rename epc.t-mobile.com to wap.voicestream.com. Then select finish.

4. Go to your SMS/MMS inbox. Select Menu-MMS options. Go to servers tab. Select T-mobile MMS. Under "Connect Via:" choose T-mobile Data, and select done.

5. Soft-reset again.

I hope this works for you. this is the settings I'm using right to get that MMS working. So far, I'm not getting any issues/problems sending or receiving MMS. Also, you can find somehere on this website a .cab to increase the size of MMS pictures you receive. I hope this helps!

[Nexus One General] NPS_CA:
Mods are likely going to move this to a different forum.

If any of the devs want to look at this I'm seeing this also. The VPN Connections app for me to a Cisco Concentrator works fine.

I can't for the life of me get PPTP to work; this may just be a buggy PPTP client in the Nexus One 2.1 build. It works FLAWLESSLY on my G1 with the last CM build. I get a generic message that GRE is not functional; but this is BS - on the same link I can tether my Mac and it works or use the same WiFi On a Windows system or mac and it works. I'm suspecting Google regressed or introduced a bug on 2.1 with PPTP

Cyanogen; or any of the other dev's if you want to "borrow" my PPTP VPN account to debug I'm game to email you the info; PM me. I was going to try this on the emulator and but some debug messages in to see what the specific issue may be...

VPN on nexus (android 2.1)

I noticed on this webpage

code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4111

that android 2.1 only support old fashion Authentication Protocols

+ CHAP allowed

+ MSCHAPv1 allowed

But

- PAP disabled

- MSCHAPv2 disabled

- EAP Proxy disabled

i searched around and found no program can hack this to enable the later 3

is it easy to enable the above? anyone here can help to configure it or it actually needs a new development?

Well since I updated to WM 6.5, it's been more of a pain than anything else. Here are my problems:

1. Locks up alot now when going from one window/program to another.

2. Loss my voice notification when a person calls me. Meaning, in WM6.1, it would say the persons name who ever is calling and also when I have an appointment on my calendar.

3. The "lock" option didn't work the first time until I reloaded the software again.

4. Slow response on the touch screen.

5. For some reason, its is using up more power when no background apps. running.

pls. help on my problems or guide me to where I can downgrade to WM6.1:(

What are your setings on for overclocking and what are the correct settings for OMAP clock?
[HTC Excalibur] fulhamboy:
I'm running mine at 216
[HTC Excalibur] 10507:
Any setting would be fine, but don't overclock over 240:)
[HTC Excalibur] turtle1981:
I clocked it at 216 and it runs much faster it was set at 156. But will it drain my battery clocked at 216? Or does that have anything to do with battery life...
[HTC Excalibur] turtle1981:
i think its actually faster then 3G.. how funny!
[HTC Excalibur] 10507:
Yes, your battery will drain more than usual because your phone processor is running at a higher speed. I have mine clocked at 228 and the battery life is about 2 days before putting it on charging. :)
[HTC Excalibur] turtle1981:
Well after I clocked it at 216 and then posted the next post my phone shut off and after turning back on i had maybe ten % battery left and that was after being on the charger all night.. But my battery life has always been ****ty.. its constantly on the charger at home and in the car..
[HTC Excalibur] 10507:
This is a sign that your battery is dying or not taking in any charge. It will get worse until you get yourself a new battery.
[HTC Excalibur] turtle1981:
Ok well im gonna try and stretch it until march. My t mobile contract will be up so right now im reading reviews and what not for different phones..
[HTC Excalibur] roloracer:
You can safely run your dash at 240 overclock speed, but if you have an old battery you'll see the difference in draining, so I suggest to get a new battery and you can go to 240mhz overclock and still get about 2 days of charge, I did when I had my dash running 3VO 6.5.:)

A few Q&A to help me get 100% caught up! Ordered my Nexus One today(Saturday) and should have it Tuesday assuming it ships Monday.

To the questions:

1. I am assuming no, but is there any difference in mounting the shell to use ADB versus a G1?

2. What all came in the box? Any screen protector?(I ordered BoxWave's anti-glare, but it will be about a week before I get those).

3. Are we not seeing any Hero ports because the chip series it comes from is just that far off from the Snapdragon, or is it just a lack of desire?
