Hey all - anyone notice that even after HDwall tool is used for wallpapers, that your wallpaper is actually still somehow in very bad quality?

there's actually no difference between using HDwall and actually just pasting your wallpaper into the phone.

The only difference is that the top and bottom bar now uses your image with a registry edit.

Since I like to see fine lines and definitions on an image instead of fuzziness I was wondering where the image is translated and cached.

you can check the differences if you save a high quality image into 480x800 and then use it as a wallpaper with sense and then also choose the same wallpaper for the lock option.

you'll notice that wm6.5's proper wallpaper will show the image sharply, while it's dulled out in the skinned sense.

I found the registry keys that display the image, but I don't know if this is a limitation with sense and it's ability to render the image onto the background or is it just a shot of the image stored elsewhere. I would like to know though so I can do some registry changes to get that going.
[HD2 General] kilrah:
You must have some problem, HDWall background should look perfectly good. Works fine here. Did you apply co0kie's hqwallpaper patch?
[HD2 General] Gellenole:
I applied the patch and the image will not come up with the image associated -- I ran the hdwall cab that was created without the patch, and I got a background.

Hi everyone. I was sure I want to buy Hero, but then accidently found this Samsung. It's specs are quite impressive compared to HTC model (AMOLED, 8 GB, 800 Mhz proc).

I'm just curious why is it so cheap? I mean its specs are *almost* equal to HTC Legend, but the price is so low.

Any tips, opinions when choosing between these devices? Thanks in advace?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superewza:
I have the i5700. It's not actually AMOLED, it's TFT. The i7500 was AMOLED but the screen is still brilliant. Using BenchmarkPi i got 8803 millisecconds, which is about 4000 less than the Hero. Snapdragons can do it in about 3500 though...

I prefer the design, it doesn't have Sense but it's not really a great loss. What is it really, a black status bar and a wheel at the bottom? Sure the clock/weather widget is cool but it's not a deal breaker. With 2.1 confirmed and rolled out in some countries it looks like a good choice, but depends on your usage, price and preferences.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incaaa:
It's cheap, because it's Samsung. No soft and no quality. Simple. From where you think the cheapness comes then? And instead of Hero better concider Legend or Desire. Hero is a bit old. Good phone nevertheless.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arranmc182:
The phone has good specs but its a Samsung they make good TV's but when it comes to phones there build quality is poor next to HTC. I would say get the HTC Legend if you want a phone that will last. I own a HTC Hero and its the best phone I have ever had I say if you want Android go HTC you will not be disappointed :D.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superewza:
There's nothing wrong with the build quality... certainly on par with the Hero. To be honest all the Hero offers over it is Sense as standard. The i5700 has a better camera, CPU, battery and lack of chin.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arranmc182:
My sister has had Samsung phones in the past they have sucked ass they feel cheap I don't like the build quality of Samsung phones but if you can look past that it maybe a cheaper build then it would worth going for because of the specs. I also like the fact that it comes as a standard build of android but what version is it running?? if its 1.5 I wouldn't bother with it unless you can root it and change the firmware (ROM).

[Double post, please delete.]
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superewza:
Samsung make cheap phones is not the same as Samsung phones are cheap. I'll say it again, the build quality of this is at least on par with the Hero. It's 1.5 at the moment, with an upgrade to 2.1 confirmed as imminemt and even out in some countries. I think it haa some light customization though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greeniemax:
i5700

Samsung doesn't make phones they make garbage, I have i5700 and it sucks in every aspect I do not have HTC hero but I have an iPhone and quality difference is more than 2000 SAR difference in price.

1. Audio playback quality SUCKS.

2. Touch screen is claimed to be capacitive but its seriously doesn't feel like, if I set it on a desktop and try to touch something it hardly works.

3. Software that comes with it doesn't even sync, had lots of trouble before it worked.

4. Buttons are hard to press and clunky.

5. Implementation of OS 1.5.1 was sucky so upgraded it to 2.1 and now its even worse.

6. I don't even believe it 800MHz because my iPhone 3GS is 600MHz and lighting fast this thing takes ages to do anything, I know OS different but I don't think it should be so much different.

7. Trying to use it as my primary phone over iPhone till the version 4.0 iPhone OS is out but trust me its hard, crashes, hangs (even before I updated to 2.1), email client always crashes for some reason.

8. Badly written sync software

9. Badly written drivers

10. Non existent manual.

I did compare it to hero while buying but hero was 600 SAR more expensive and slower with 1.6 Android with no chance of upgrade.

Go for something else in my opinion

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caroliano:
6- I thougth that after P4, athlon and c2d people would learn to not rate CPUs only by their clock speed... The Iphone 3GS has an ARM Cortex A8, that is close to 2 times faster clock for clock over an ARM 11. Memory bandwidth, GPU, etc could also have an impact in the perceived speed when using the phone.

Hey everyone, so up to yesterday I was running modaco N1 2.0 ROM but trying to install the updated google maps became a pain cause nothing was working. Tried all the solutions on the modaco forum but didn't work for me. Anyways, I decided to go back to stock with root cause I still wanted to be able to USB and wifi tether. Anyways, installed the tether packages and now it says I have an improperly configured kernel. I'm sure this is related to the kernel being stock but I Dont know how to fix the issue. I was hoping someone could guide me. Could I simply pull the kernel out of modaco's/Cyanogen's ROM and push it to my N1? If so, I'd like some help since this is past my knowledge.

Thanks
[Nexus One General] Huascar82:
bump cause I'm hoping someone can help me. I tried following the instructions on google code for updating the kernel to do this but I'm getting this error when doing ismod

hopefully someone can help.

Hi

I'm selling my tmo band n1 on ebay, what is the best way to fully wipe all data on the phone? I tried holding the vol down button on boot and chose the restore option, it hung for a while and then said it couldnt find a certain path after i started hitting a few button combos and got it to reboot.

also is there a way to get some of the apps marked as protected off of the phone and on to another one? i was using appmanager and they had 'protected' over the app name.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nDrg:
Try this if rooted:

Otherwise simply use the restore to factory settings option, should do the job.

Nice was looking from that for when I do root it. Currently its not though. Is there some documentation in the sdk about this?

Wipe your phone; wipe everything amon's recovery wipe will allow. Also format your sd card after backing it up (if you want whatever is on there).

Once done, boot up the phone to ensure the phone boots. Don't touch the android to start...simply power off the phone and call it good.

All items you have paid for through the market will be linked to your google sign-in. So when you sign into your new phone with your google account, fire up the market app and you will see your protected/paid for apps. Simply tell them to install again; you will not be charged to install apps you previously paid for.

EDIT: Do not forget to remove the sim card before mailing off your phone. A friend did just that and the nice person that purchased his phone started to use his sim card.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disgustip8ted:
will that process require root? it is not currently rooted
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deprecate:
oooooooh! Sorry, I assumed you were rooted. To me it seems a safe assumption that anyone browsing this site has unlocked/rooted their device if such things are possible. :)

You can factory reset your phone.

1. With the phone off, hold the Trackball and press and release the Power button.

2. You'll boot into the menu with the little skateboard guys. Select Clear Storage from the list by pressing the Volume Down button.

3. Press the Power button, and confirm by pressing Volume Up.

4. Sit back while your phone reboots in its virgin state.

You can also do it this way:

* From the menu, go to Settings.

* Then go to Privacy.

* Select Factory data reset and read the warning carefully.

* When you’re ready, press the Reset phone button.

Hi I went to internet and saw an news article about HD2 from MS Korea . The spokesman said that HD2 will not be upgradable to WP7 since it has

-Lesser ROm (567mb requirement compared to 512mb)

-more button( 3button requirement and HD2 has 5)

personally 2nd reason is BS and 1st reason is kind of ignorable since you can remove ringtons etc to slim down the rom I guess

They added please don't get misunderstood and fall into victim of scam or something along the line

I am sure that XDA will manage though, 55mb Rom is not that much :D (But it really depends on how m$ builded WP7. What if core component is 567 mb lol)

If you want to read the article, run google translate. I know how to read korean so... BTW, this is sort of reliable site.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] usatraveler:
Pardon me mods if I'm not in the right place, but it was my best guess based on the situation.

I'm having a hardware issue with my Tilt, and upgrade costs versus repair costs might make the Tilt2 a solid option. I know that the Tilt2's WM experience will be an improvement over the Tilt's. What I'm not sure about is Android.

My question is this - considering the very well-developed Android system over on the Kaiser/Tilt, would the Tilt2 be a naturally good upgrade? Strong points included the ability to stay with a good WM system while Android development progressed (Tilt2 is similarly strong in this regard, I'm sure), as well as the overall great job being done by the developers on these forums.

I know that some features I used often on the Tilt's Android are not quite there yet here on the Tilt2, especially GPS. I realize it's all speculation at this stage, but are there any red flags I should be aware of, any known issues that would render future development of these features impossible? I'd probably be willing to jump to the Tilt2 if the potential was strong, even if current stages are short in areas that I enjoy en everyday use. I guess I just want to make sure that there isn't anything known that would completely prevent any possibility of future development in things like GPS, BT, camera, etc.

Any thoughts/suggestions?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] dressanderc:
Meh, 50/50

Man, there are pros and cons when it comes to the Tilt 2. I absolutely loved my TyTn II. I went from it to an Iphone 3GS, and then reverted back to the Tilt 2, for lack of business-related features on the Iphone. I've had mixed emotions on my Tilt 2 ever since I first picked it up. Some days, I love it. Some days, I cant stand it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, as I'm sure you are, on the possibility of a full-blown Android ROM that runs quick and smooth on this thing. To be completely honest, the stock Windows ROM needs tweaking just to run smoothly. On top of that, it has one of the most buggy SMS applications I have ever seen on a smartphone. I fell in love with HTC devices, and the Tilt 2 is a nice piece of hardware, but you have to do some work to get the software to where it just "fits". I am currently looking around for that "one ROM" that I will just love. And so far..... no luck.

Bottom line, the phone has amazing potential. Either it be a kick-butt Windows Mobile ROM, or a fully functional Android ROM, these will be the saviors of this device. Don't expect a warm and fuzzy feeling right out of the box, though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] usatraveler:
That's actually really helpful, thanks for the input. Any ideas on similar devices? Just kinda weighing the options. The Pure is another upgrade possibility, and I'm sure there are more out there. That hardware keyboard on the Tilts is nice, though.

Either way, tweaking is fine with me. That's the fun, that's why I'm thinking WM/Android and avoiding the iPhone. I like the innovation and experimentation found here on XDA. I know that occasional crashes and resets come with the territory, I guess I'm mainly looking for a device that will allow me a similar level of functional flashing fun that the Kaiser did (and may still do if repair is easy).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] dressanderc:
Well then yeah, I would defiantly give the Tilt 2 a shot then. If your comfortable with flashing/customizing/crashing :D then you will be well on your way to what you want. (Wow... that's a lot of W's) I would avoid the Pure though, waaaaaay to small. OR you could hold off until the almighty Windows 7 Phone series launches. Trust me THE DAY that one is released for AT&T, the Tilt 2 will be a paperweight for a while.
