If you simply just look at screenshots of the devices side-by-side you can obviously tell the N1 is taller, while the iphone is WIDER - therefore the typing experience on the iphone is made better by that simple factor, not too much better, but I'm sure it helps.. (I just said that because I figured you would've looked at them being compared before purchasing the device) The typing experience on the iphone is also made better by the work that was put into the the on-screen keyboard, and the only Android one that can counter it in my opinion is the HTC_IME, or Swype. I'm also not a fan of the stock keyboard. (Maybe smart keyboard too.. or shapewriter.. hmm..)

If 3rd party keyboards are not working out for you, you'll simply have have to use the phone in landscape mode to maybe better your typing experience.
[Nexus One General] iVisionX01:
We just need HTC_IME for WVGA devices I find using the pixilated version of HTC_IME is better than the stock keyboard on the Nexus One.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
A) Yes :D

B) Use the speech to text. How is the speech to text on the iPhone? :D
[Nexus One General] seanhassars:
swype, my friend. I haven't looked back since I installed it.
[Nexus One General] iVisionX01:
But can it go landscape?
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
Yes, but I believe the current one for the Nexus One goes off-screen, unless it has been corrected.

Swype in landscape mode isn't ideal anyways, I only use it portrait, where it shines the best.

And as for the HTC_IME.. wasn't it the Bravo we were going to steal that from?
[Nexus One General] DMaverick50:
Fair enough. There's a new voice to text app for the iPhone but I'm willing to bet Google's is more accurate.
[Nexus One General] DMaverick50:
Actually the 3/32nds of an inch difference isnt at all obvious to me by looking at screenshots. Plus coming from g1 and mytouch 3g I couldn't help myself wanting to see what android could do with adequate power, and boy is it impressive (other than the keyboard of course) And on second thought it must just be extremely superior software because that just doesn't seem like enough of a difference otherwise.
[Nexus One General] TFJ4:
Google has the power to crank out a super keyboard in a day or two...whyyyyyyy Google why!?
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Yar. Also try out Swype:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=625910&page=1

It's pretty damn cool actually
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
Ah, well to me it looked rather noticeable. Even as such, we all view things in a different light I guess.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
What is the width / height of the screen on N1 vs iPhone 3GS btw (in millimeters)?
[Nexus One General] ndboost:
Not what oyu asked for but Viewing screen is 3.7in for N1 vs iphone which is 3.5
[Nexus One General] clubtech:
actually if you put the two phone over each other and not side by side and compare of the width of the screens (NET WIDTH, not including bezel) i think both screens have the same width. the fact that the N1 is taller makes it look narrower.

Try it out with both screens turned on and you will see.
[Nexus One General] DMaverick50:
Actually I pulled out the old tape measure and the iPhone screen is definitely wider. Surprising I know, and it was just me and my buddy with the iPhone so I came here to complain because I didn't want him to think his phone had anything on my phone, not even for 1 second. Pretty petty of me but I can't help it , I love android!
[Nexus One General] Huey85:
I really don't know why people find it so difficult to type on the stock android keyboard. I've been using it for a while now - admittedly it took a few days to get used to typing on it, coming from an iPhone and Hero background, but still, I find typing on it a breeze! Even more so with Smart Keyboard Pro!
[Nexus One General] denimjunkie82:
another vote for swype. i will never two-hand type again. i wish i could swype on my laptop
[Nexus One General] AkumaMax:
I think that HTC put the speech to text in the because they new the keyboard wasn't all that great!
[Nexus One General] krohnjw:
Google put in the speech to text with the Android keyboard - not HTC. HTC's IME (keyboard) does not have a button for speech to text AFAIK.
[HD2 General] kanesw:
Listening to music via the youtube app is great for some occasions. Except you cannot turn off screen/lock phone or via away from youtube with it playing in the background.

Is there a way this could be altered so it can be used as a multitask?

Thanks
[HD2 General] Archer:
Sorry mate, but there's no way to do this, and it makes perfect sense that there isn't. It's like asking to turn off the screen on your TV but still have audio.

You're just gonna have to accept that it's not a music player, it's a video player.

There's some great alternative music streamers or downloaders though, such as grooveshark or nanogroove.

Both are available on xda - just do a search and they shall be yours :)
[HD2 General] leoni1980:
On my LG tv I can turn off the screen and still have audio. Good if you want to have a nice relaxing film on for background noise before bedtime.

To be fair aside from the fact that it loads fast and looks sorta pretty the YouTube application is pretty damn rubbish. I wont go into detail here but Im sure most YouTube users will be fully aware of its many shortcomings as I am. I'd like to think htc will work on these before adding the functionality of allowing videos to run in the background.

incidentally if you DO want this functionality then it is available in Coreplayer. just set videos to play in the background and when you're streaming you can freely switch between apps and still hear audio.
[G1 General] Macmee:
Why the hell do all the Canadian carriers have to suck so bad. Honestly..
[G1 General] SilentTweak:
At least Rogers are doing something, I mean if you own a Dream you get the following out of the deal:

Free Magic + $0 Admin Fee + $50 Credit Rebate + Month of Free Data Credit

Not so bad, but then again this shouldn't have happened in the first place.
[G1 General] JamieD81:
ONLY ! and ONLY if you buy the dream on a contract before dec 31 2009

us who spent the money outright for the phones at anypoint are void from this deal which sucks for us.

and rogers isnt doing anything, they are sticking you with a 3 year plan with a 1.5 year old phone to replace your 1.5 year phone.
[G1 General] Njord0:
You could just update the radio:

wiki. cyanogenmod .com/index.php/Upgrade_Rogers_Dream_Radio

I just finished the update, and I'll comment back if I get my data again. This should fix the problem
[G1 General] JamieD81:
there have been reports on the other thread of people who updated radio still losing data/outgoingcalls they are looking for radio/build when scanning i believe*dont take my word for it just going on what ive read*
[G1 General] marcobrunello:
I have updated the radio, following Cyanogen's instructions over 48 hours ago. I've also signed the waiver, about 36 hours ago. Of course, no data. I have rebooted (pulled the battery) many times. I phoned them yesterday afternoon and the tech I got transfered to, who was willing to help, said something like like: hmm.. Are you sure you updated with the update found at [rogers.com/bla/bla] ? it sounded like he could see that I hadn't. At that point I said that I had to hang-up, which was true, as I was driving. In any case, I don't remember reading any post about someone's data coming back on it's own... Guess I'll have to call again.
[G1 General] SilentTweak:
Here's another issue with Rogers. Remember when outgoing calls were being redirected? If you call in and told them you haven't done the update, they would re-enable your voice, but then put a manual block on your data. You have to call in and tell them to re-enable it manually. I had this problem. Updated radio, but no data for 2 whole days. I couldn't tweet that I couldn't tweet :mad:
[G1 General] marcobrunello:
Ha! Thanks you for pointing that out. I just called, it took about ten minutes. I got transfered to a different person who asked me to go to settings:about phone and read her some numbers. I had to lie a bit about the numbers I quoted them ( firmware version and build number ); I read out the numbers from the Rogers pdf. I should post more instead of just reading, it gets things done...
[G1 General] Njord0:
Since my last post when I updated the radio my data has been reenabled. I didn't do anything (like phone them) to get my data back other then restarting my phone and waiting till the morning.
[G1 General] jisri:
Signed the waiver

Thanks,

I signed the waiver and got the data back.

Rogers should have done that long time ago to save everyone all the headache.
[G1 General] DangerXDan:
they dont even offer the deal anymore :(
[G1 General] SilentTweak:
Today is the last day. If you did buy your phone outright from Rogers, you can tell them their update bricked your phone, and then they'll swap it for a Magic if you want. But then you won't have a rooted phone anymore.
[G1 General] D RoiD:
I signed the waiver Sat and got data Sun am. Glad I didnt update!! :D
[G1 General] Wulfbane:
Anybody else have trouble getting the stupid form to accept your IMEI ?
[G1 General] alphayoung:
Same here.

I'm wondering if calling customer service would help me sign the waiver.
[G1 General] alexfix:
Hmm, I am trying to sign the waiver, however the form is saying that my IMEI number is not valid. Did someone have the same issue?

Do you guys know how to make the IMEI # valid? Stupid questions, but may there is a trick that I should know.
[G1 General] Njord0:
I'm surprized so many would sign a waiver over updating the radio. I wonder if signing the waiver voids the warranty of the phone. They must know if you're willing to sign this you're doing something to your phone.
[G1 General] newjazz:
agree this ...

because they are still doing business in a lazy and greedy way!

Hi guys,

I really need some help since my phone is not responding to any touch.the hard keys are working .but there is no response to touch screen.i have restarted,rebooted and even tried some different Nand ROM's on my HTC HD2.i have been using this phone since last 10 months.If I could get some help regarding this matter ,i will be very thankful.

Millions Thanks to Cotulla, Mdeejay, tytung, dandiest, darkstone , crawlingcity for all their efforts and hardwork.These guys are special and have unique capability.

[HD2 General] afoongwl215:
Hi how you select more than one file in the fine manager? I know if the files in a folder is less than the limit you need for scroll you can just drag and select them. But if there is scroll, i cant seem to select more than one file.

Additionally does anyone know of a keyboard that support the shift key? To select more than one file.

Cheers.
[HD2 General] MAMeingast:
I would recommend using Total Commander... It not only allows you to change to a "single-click-mode" where you OPEN stuff with a double-tap and SELECT items with a single one, it also has it's own small "shift" and "ctrl" keys for selecting items! Also, it allows you to copy any file anywhere, even if inside the ROM! :D
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
total commander works well, or resco file manager. swype keyboard has a "select text"button that when toggled on and used with the arrows lets you select multiple files too.
[HD2 General] afoongwl215:
AH.. i didn't know that there's the functionality in Total Commander. Cant seem to find the shift button in Total Commander though.
[HD2 General] LarryLauLive:
download an alternative SIP keyboard like happy tapping keyboard. their ctrl key works like the desktop one, allowing multiselect and cttl-c, ctrl-v also. hth.
[HD2 General] MAMeingast:
The Shift button pops up when pressing ctrl first (see screenshot).
[HD2 General] Peteret:
With touch screens like ours, you can select multiple files by swiping the icons rather than the text of the file names. This works in Resco/Windows file manager.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
you sure about that? cant make it work here... well except when there is less than 1 page of files. I'd be most keen to see a video of that in action.
[HD2 General] Peteret:
Pretty sure this is the case (with resco at least). Cant try this at the moment as I'm waiting for a replacement unit.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
heh like waiting for a bus.I don't envy you that wait.

on the plus side,I can indeed confirm you are right, (at least in resco, the one I use) dragging down the list whilst on the icons does indeed select the files!

good find.

Hello Everyone, :D

I just got a Sunno HDi Phone with Windows 1. I have T-Mobile as my Wireless Service with Unlimited everything, so I installed the Sim Card on this Phone and everything works fine, but I can not go Online with Internet Explorer! I get a Connection error saying that it is not configured or something. I also have another clone phone: i9 3G that the Internet works just fine with My T-Mobile Sim Card, so I do not understand whats wrong.

Does anybody know what are the Settings that I should use to go Online on this Sunno HDi Phone with a T-Mobile Sim Card here in the US? Thank You.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zinconnu:
Good idea, thanks. :)

I've seen your post on WVD's thread. Maybe you're app could enable to the user to fix some html or others to make the app reworking when video-websites have changed. No?

I hope your app will be a "better and working" wvd soon. ;)

If you need help, but only for a translation in french, i can help you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] makku12:
I've got some ideas for that... like using an XML file containing regex expressions that will auto-update via web (or by hand). I really wanted to mimic how XBMC does it, but XBMC uses python and pythonCE is not perfect yet. I'm still thinking about it.

I speak French... but I don't know any technical French so maybe I'll ask for help :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zinconnu:
Ok, good idea. Do you think that in future your app may enable some "plugins" ? For exemple a dev' create a plugin (xml file) for a website like youtube, we put it in a folder, and it works. It's a good idea, to my mind. ;)

(you speak french? Wow. :))
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mancukya:
dommage il crash sur diamond bsb 6.5.3
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zinconnu:
In english please. ;)

How does it crash? Do you have an error message/log?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] makku12:
Just so everyone knows... it will crash if there's no internet connection. It will also crash if tube8.com is unreachable. There is absolutely no error-handling in the program at all. There is no log file either.

I was hoping that someone would say, "Yes it works for me on GPRS."

I'll keep working on it anyways.

If you are having trouble saying what you want to say inEnglish, french is ok since I can understand you, but we all prefer english normally so that everyone can understand :)

BTW - YOU MUST HAVE NET CF 3.5 INSTALLED FOR IT TO WORK. I think most new roms come with it, so this shouldn't be a big issue, but just in case.

DIAM500

Telus

It crashes for me, I believe its because its trying to save the file to "storage card" but as you may or may not no the DIAM500 only has internal memory no SD slot. Other wise it loaded fine and showed all the previews.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zinconnu:
I've forgotten to say it, but it works for me too. :D

I use an acer tempo x960, with wifi.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:
For me it crashes when I press flv... If this app tries to save to the storage card that may be the issue in my case (maybe it's a regional or unicode issue... since in my localization the storage card folder is named "Cartão de memória".

PS: If you're going to add more sites I leave the same suggestion as I did for WVD: make your app scriptable in a similar way to PSP Tube (and its mods... here and here are some scripts that may help making the addition of some sites faster). In the long run this would require less (official) updates.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] makku12:
Yeah, it's hardcoded to go to "/storage card/" so it will crash if it's in another language or not there. Well, this was just a test to make sure those sites aren't doing anything other than checking the HTTP Headers for mobile devices.

As for scripting... I did not know that PSP Tube existed. I'll look into those... I was definitely going for a scripted version that others can contribute to since I don't want to be the one to fix it each time a site changes their format.

I'm still working on it... :)

And thanks for all the responses so far.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zinconnu:
Good luck, i can't wait to test new version. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:

hey buddy, nice to see this.

i'm working on a similar app for android and started with tube8 too, cause it has easy accecable videos. Maybe we can share information how to extract the video infos.

I try to make my app pluginbased so that it is easy in the future to add new sites. I'm a android beginner (without my own device) so it takes some time.. but tube 8 works quit good at the moment. :)

P.S.: For android devices its important that the site has mp4 support so the sitesupport is very limited on android at the moment.

WebException - Could not establish connection to network
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] makku12:
I think I have everything working except for the Search function and the back button...

But the behavior so far:

1. You're presented with a series of menus

2. If you select Categories, it will show you a series of categories.

3. Otherwise, it will show you a list of videos with name and thumbnail.

4. Doubletap the video and it will open CorePlayer automatically and stream it. I had no slowdowns at all like I used to get with WVD and TCPMP (although I think that was TCPMP's fault and not WVD).

Ok, now all I have to do is fix the Search and Back buttons... then learn how to package this whole thing into a CAB file and I'll upload it for testing :)
