You're right. It was probably unfair of me to label her as a fanboy since I don't know much about her. But it just seems unprofessional when you're reviewing a product and you make the effort to squeeze in little praises for the iPhone...

"...reminding us of the first-generation iPhone -- the most attractive version so far."

"...holding your finger on a page reveals a magnifying glass that helps you select and copy text, which is a handy feature cribbed from the iPhone."

"...the Android Market. It's not as well-organised as the iPhone's App Store,..."
[Legend General] KK43:
Well, like it or not, and I personally don't, the iphone has provided a very slick user experience for the first time in the mobile world.

I don't like all its limitations and have no interest in buying any apple prodcuts, but there you have it. And that's why you almost can't read a single review without an iphone comparison, despite many reviewers missing the point that it's not an apples to apples comaprison, that if the apple offered what andriod does, it would also be 'geekier'.

I think Andoid's challenge is to move closer to looking like a dumb blond in terms of the user experience and everything working togetger seamlessly (including a music solution etc) but still offering the hardware variety and software freedom...

Review from Engadget.

This is the 2nd review that mentions the device's wifi reception issues :(

I wish they would have tested the bluetooth reception....
[Legend General] vegetaleb:
Wifi can be boosted by a FW upgrade but how Techradar/TrustedReviews and Engadget have very opposite report about the screen under sunlight??

As for the battery like I said it's useless to test it out of the box, they could at least compare it with a light user like me instead of focusing on a super heaby user, I mean my own Aino that last 3 full days with my usage would not last 8 hours with open 3G/BT/WIFI/GPS

As for video recording it's VGA 30fps but video bitrate seem low (perhaps a modded Cam driver can beefed this up)

Very nice review from TrustedReview: http://www.trustedreviews.com/mobile-phones/review/2010/03/10/HTC-Legend/p1

They are the first to say battery can last 2 days
[Legend General] KK43:
I'm surprised they gave the legend such high scores, most of the review sounded critical

[Legend General] ohyeahar:
Another review popped up. This one from KnowYourCell.

It seems from all these reviews that the main flaws of the device are:

-battery life (probably not that big a deal once the battery is conditioned from day-to-day use)

-update frequency of Friendstream widget is slow.
[Legend General] vegetaleb:
For my usage the battery should last around 2-3 days because I will not use 3G nor GPS, as for BT and WIFI I use them for about 15mins before sleeping that's all. :D

Now in summer I will use about 2-3 hours a day of GPS because of the jogging GPS tracker (calories burned) ;)
[Legend General] Lox_Dev:
Is raging thunder 2 running on that device?
[TG01 General] Sky Forever:
Can it record both sides while phonecall? HD2 (I have) can NOT yet... What about another device with Snapdragon?
[TG01 General] (InsertNameHere):
Try this

Haven't tried it myself
[TG01 General] Sky Forever:
only 1-way on my HD2... mic+speaker echo...:(
[TG01 General] souljaboy:
it works as a charm with the 2way utility :D

only that if u are having audio problems (high gain but quiet) like some of us , the same effect shall remain in the recording , also i suggest recording at the volume level one below max in ur in-call volume bar so the 2 sides are pretty even ... get Vito audionotes > autorecord/to: storagecard/wav high quality , and on u go !!! :o
[TG01 General] Sky Forever:
we discuss it exactly with the author of .cab, you posted (with mskip) here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4973398#post4973398

HD2 - NOT WORKS! Only 1-way+mic echo.

Do you test it on TG01? It works???

If works, this is a good news! That is NOT because of Snapdragon processor. But we steel need solution for HD2 and that is why I posted this thread.
[TG01 General] a_petrov303:
yes, see resco audio recorder ;)
[TG01 General] Pere:
Wow!!! It Works!!! Congratulations!

Sound quality is bad but perhaps this is really as others hear us....:rolleyes:

Any idea to improve it?
[TG01 General] Sky Forever:
seems to be 1-way... When 2-way is possible, quality of record both sides almost equal!
[TG01 General] souljaboy:
maybe cuz resco recorder is a ****? i dunno its good for me

i posted that it works on tg01 becuz it works on tg01... pretty simple if u ask me
[TG01 General] Sky Forever:
I only wish to understand ability of 2-way recording via another device with Snapdragon processor.
[TG01 General] geobid:
Hi

Could you describe how did you start recording telephone conversations on the TG01. What is your version of ROM and what is the order of installation. I would be very grateful. Regards.
[TG01 General] souljaboy:
i have the 2 way recording cab on

and i have vito audionotes on , installed in that order , ull see my recommended settings in my prev post , ROM i dont remember but ive used 4-5 roms this far and it worked on all

tried it in stock and 5005.1600.05 radio ver

its best to adjust the incall volume to one under the max cuz it will be disorted and also move the mic a bit away cuz it will be too loud compared to the other side , also i turn mic gain off in vito
[TG01 General] Pere:
You can also try Resco Audio Recorder instead of Vito. Both tested and working,
[TG01 General] geobid:
Thank you for your reply.

I tried to do as you wrote, but I still have a little problem. My voice is clean and clear but the caller voice is distorted. I tried to change the volume level of the system but it does not help. Is it possible to set the recording level? Or maybe there is some other simple way to solve this problem.

Thank you for your help - greet.
[TG01 General] souljaboy:
other voice is distorted for me anyway , in the actual phone calls too ... lol
[TG01 General] mkultr4:
Hello

I have tried this cab and it does not seem to be recording. There is no options to select record during or before calls. any advice?

cheers
[TG01 General] Howell:
I use Vito Audio Notes 1.38 (NOT the touch version wich is buggy) and I record 2-way with good quality using default settings. I can also record on demand.

I just got a data plan for my touch pro 2 and I wanted to get a good gps app for it. So far I have google maps but I would just like to gets some opinions on some other gps software.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] vmiguel:
NDrive is my favorite now. And Route66 the second. Many prefer TomTom.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] assassin82492:
Are they free?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] fards:
no they aren't free..

most satnav apps need paying for, mainly because the mapping they use has to be paid for.

but there are some on this very site that use Open Street Maps that are free..

(OPEN STREET MAP http://www.openstreetmap.org/ is a user generated mapping system, so if you find somewhere that isn't covered, you can correct it and enhance it yourself for everyone else).

try OMM or navicomputer for starters In the apps and games subforum.

bing (microsoft live search) also does maps btw, it should be on your device if not you can get it from the marketplace

Mods - you can delete this thread as it turns out it is NOT a general issue, but a ROM issue. Thanks!

For some reason, my notifications have started silencing. Ringtones still work - but SMS, Email, etc don't. This effect seems to go away after reboot.

I am a pretty experienced Android user, and have checked volume and sound to make sure they are set right - which they are.

Using Cyanogen 5.0.4.1, but have not had this problem before so I'm thinking it is an app issue.

I don't want to start uninstalling apps willy-nilly...anyone else having this issue?

Are you using a dock? If so it's happening to me too. If I reboot and don't use the dock it stops. There was some talk about it in the CM thread as a known issue.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SuperMiguel:
So i went to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=567294 and downloaded the files, and installed them... When i try to open the keyboard using messanging it auto closes.... when i try using it with gmail (compose) it works fine until i close the keyboard and try to open it again.. Like it tries to open but automatically closes down... Is there a fix for this??

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Wrong thread. Move to Q&A or general to get an answer. You'll have better luck there. Heck... maybe even in the Android Apps section since it is an app that you are having problems with. You're question has little to do with the development of a MyTouch or a rom.
[Networking] cpenticuff:
I have a HTC Fuze on AT&T running the 6.5 Energy Rom. I also had this issue when running stock 6.1.

My work network is configured primarily for Blackberries, as that is what they provide for certain privileged employees. The policy is that that employees may sync their personal devices with the Exchange server, however their is no support provided. Everything was working fine until their security certificate recently expired. I contacted the network guys about this and they assured me that they would be renewing the certificate... eventually. There is no rush for this to happen and it could very well take months.

I am unable to sync my mail or calendar currently, as WM 6+ apparently does not give you the option of ignoring an expired certificate. I DO have the certificate installed, as everything was working fine before.

Does anyone know of a way to disable certificate "validation" on WM 6+? I have tried some of the tweaks and such mentioned for earlier versions, but it appears they are not valid on 6+

thanks :)
[Networking] cpenticuff:
I apologize for bumping this, but I still have not been able to find a solution to this. I have found posts here and there referring to an inability to ignore expired certificates in WM 6 and later. I am hoping this is not the case. Any thoughts?
[Networking] greabr:
Bump. I could use a solution as well.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] keel:
I have been gettting "there was a connection error while attempting to download data" when trying to update my stocks in the stocks tab.

Wonder if anyone has the same issue, and hopefully, a fix.

the funny thing is that all other data dependent programs work, including the weather tab.
[Nexus One Accessories] rashid11:
Ordered one from ebay 16 days ago. U$20 delivered for a charger (charges battery + USB output) and 2(!) batteries. Came in today. Seem to be legit, batteries fit fine, come in about 40% charge in em. Charging both at the moment, will post later as to the longevity etc.

Search ebay for title (the quoted part of it), $20 delivered.
[Nexus One Accessories] rori~:
No idea how this chinese quality is, but it´s cheap :)
[Nexus One Accessories] Papichulo06:
[text deleted]
[Nexus One Accessories] rashid11:
OK,

1st battery charged in N1, seems to be fine after 3 hrs of occasional use, still 100% charge. The other one charged in the charger that came with it, will test it tomorrow. Charger gives indication when the charge is complete. I guess we got ourselves a winner here :)
[Nexus One Accessories] gunnner:
Good to hear. I ordered the same bundle a week or so ago and I'm waiting for it. Things from HK do seem to take a while to get to the US - guess that's the price you pay.
[Nexus One Accessories] webgrafix:
I got this same deal!

It's a crazy bargain! I love have (3) batteries on me when traveling. In a hotel room it's wonderful to find a spare remote outlet and charge up the depleted batteries. No down time.

I received my batteries and charger from China very quickly.
[Nexus One Accessories] MintyFloss:
thanks i'll look into this

EDIT: Which seller did you guys buy from?
[Nexus One Accessories] rheza02:
Just trying to help,

This one,

http://yit.me/46vpzp
[Nexus One Accessories] danguyf:
Wow. That's quite a deal! I don't really think I need it but I'm sorely tempted to order a set anyway just in case.
[Nexus One Accessories] jimbobalu:
This deal hooked me.
[Nexus One Accessories] webgrafix:
This is a NO BRAINER!

You get the 2800 mAh worth of power for 1/3 the price. Plus you get the external charger.

The only "negative" to me is that I have to shut down the phone to swap batteries... but the N1 reboots so fast... not really a negative.

The big "positive" is that I get the additional power in reserve... without getting a big ugly battery and new battery door that alters the slick look of my phone.

I don't have an scientific evidence yet.... but these new batteries seem to actually run longer than my stock battery.
[Nexus One Accessories] smot13:
I got this. Its a phenominal deal. The batteries are top notch, and I'm almost inclined to think one of them actually works better than the stock battery, but that could just be my imagination. Hard to test.

The charger is great too.
[Nexus One Accessories] Mactagonist:
I ordered the same set on the 18th and I still dont have mine! :) Glad you all are happy with yours! I am going to file a dispute tomorrow, 3 weeks is too long!
[Nexus One Accessories] Kid Poker:
2800 mAh is double the OEM battery, so of course they run longer then the stock battery
[Nexus One Accessories] Gr8gorilla:
Uhhmmm....he is saying that 2 batteries at 1400 = one batter at 2800. They are talking about 2 batteries and a charger for 20$.
[Nexus One Accessories] nephroid:
This is a great deal! Maybe too good to be true?? :confused: Please keep us updated on how these batteries perform throughout the year.
[Nexus One Accessories] jimbobalu:
Any issue with charge times? It is only rated plugged in at output 4.2V 350mA, this seems a little low to me.

I do see it is rated higher for the USB output connection, is this to the battery or just to the USB port, of 5.2V 800mA?

Thanks
[Nexus One Accessories] Spinstorm:
Don't file a dispute... that is pointless.

E-mail them and ask for it to be sent again however if they say no then you can dispute it BUT standard postage can take FOREVER.

I have ordered CDs from America (where most of you guys are) and sometimes they have come in 5 days and sometimes it has been a month.

Unfortunately your US mail is incredibly unreliable and then when you add into that the fact it is coming from Hong Kong so has to go through so many mail systems you should just relax and be patient!

I ordered the same package yesterday and also the 8-in-1 HD2 package with 3 screen protector, 3 cases, MUSB to cig lighter charger and an extra MUSB cable which I can use those 2 both with my HD2 and N1 as I already have cases for the N1 and screen protectors.
[Nexus One Accessories] rashid11:
Folx,

I have used both batteries, charged via both N1 and the charger that came part of the deal. Used the charger to charge N1's original battery. No issues encountered. Having total of 3 batteries must be a godsend for frequent travelers and alike.

I never hesitate when ordering items from China/HK. Takes anywhere from 1.5 to 3 weeks, never had anything lost.
[Nexus One Accessories] guags99:
I ordered on the 18th too...Glad to see I'm not the only one still waiting. I'm even more glad to hear that the quality seems OK so far.

Hopefully it will be waiting for me when I get home tonight!
[Nexus One Accessories] Mactagonist:
? They gave me a refund in less then 12 hours.

I have ordered a plethora of items from hong kong and know all too well how slow it is. 3 weeks is too long though.
[Nexus One Accessories] Spinstorm:
Well great that you got a refund but you will still get the items you ordered.

Funny thing with the post is it doesn't care how long you feel is too long - it just takes as long as it needs and sometimes things take longer than they should.

Clearly that is what is going on here.

Anyway now you have gotten the battery and charger (when you get it which you will eventually) for free! well done ;)
[Nexus One Accessories] wornbat:
What Charger lead comes with this charger? Is it just the box and you have to use a USB cable/charger with it? or does it have a Figure 8 power cable? If it is Figure 8 is it rated to 240V?
[Nexus One Accessories] 18.4009:
Well I ordered a nexus battery from Hong Kong last month and got it a few days ago and it was defective. Would not even charge...

Saw your post so I ordered these batteries tonight. Have my fingers crossed!

Thanks for the good find.
[Nexus One Accessories] cj2185:
I wouldn't trust buying those cheap batteries from ebay. There a big chance it could leak or blow up or something and break your almost $600 phone. I bought the orginal battery from google for $25 which is a great deal. I bought a battery charger from ebay though.
[Nexus One Accessories] gunnner:
Just a data point, but I ordered to Minneapolis from HK the same deal (presumably the same seller) on the 26th, and received the package yesterday, so around ten total days including weekends. I used one of the batteries today, and it seems to have lasted at least as long as my original battery. I'd always suspected my original battery was defective, and judging by my experience on the first charge of this new battery, I might have been right.

The charger is slow (yes, apparently 350mA), but it also has a USB socket that outputs 800mA. I don't know if it can do both simultaneously (e.g. if you can charge one battery directly in the charger at the same time as charging the other battery in your phone), but it's nice to know I can charge anything else I need to with it. The charger stays nice and cool as it charges (as you'd expect at that low amperage, I guess), and there's a huge LED stripe across it that's magenta when charging and blue when done. It may be too bright for some if you're sleeping in the same room as it.

For whoever asked what kind of lead it comes with, it plugs directly into the wall, so no cable. It has the two flat prongs that are standard for the US. They fold in and out for travel. I can imagine it'd be a pain in the butt to use overseas, because the weight of this kind of charger + an adapter usually makes it all fall out of the wall, or at least stick out a mile. It is rated to 240V though.

And that's more detail than I ever wanted to post for something as uninteresting as a battery charger.
[Nexus One Accessories] Mactagonist:
Maybe. but I have ordered from cnn.cn via postal mail from HK many times and never had more then a 12-14 day wait. i think out was reasonable to wait 50% longer before complaining.
[Nexus One Accessories] SPAS79:
Just ordered one. Will update when received. Thanks OP for the heads up!
[Nexus One Accessories] mcgoo99:
just received mine too, both batteries work great. charger shows red when charging, blue when done, both work great in the N1. also has a USB plug to use your USB cable so you can recharge both the N1 and a spare battery at the same time. very slick, very cheap, received in like 10 days, totally worth the $20.
[Nexus One Accessories] guags99:
My wish came true. It was waiting for me last night. :D

I charged the first one overnight and it's in my phone now. Seems to be draining a little faster than my stock, but after a few more charges we'll see if it becomes "seasoned" and lasts a little longer. That always seems to be the case.
[Nexus One Accessories] wornbat:
Thank you for your Interesting Comments Very helpful :)
[Nexus One Accessories] OrganizedFellow:
That's how I feel.

I just read 3 pages of inquiries, and several positive replies. But the sole possibility that it COULD leak, rupture, explode, etc. THAT'S why I won't buy one.

HELLUVA GREAT PRICE THOUGH!!!
[Nexus One Accessories] theartfullodger:
S**d it, ordered it anyway for UK delivery...

I'll let you's know!

Cheers!

[Nexus One Accessories] gsvnet:
Sure, this battery may be more susceptible... but couldn't the stock battery do the same thing?

The quality of these batteries could even be better than stock. I'm sure Google is profiting a decent amount on their $25 batteries.
[Nexus One Accessories] attn1:
Well, US Mail is very reliable in the US. As you said, there are a lot of mail systems involved and these things have to clear customs, and that is the variable.

I am getting pretty sick of things in the US getting slammed just because they are in/from the US. I seems to me that the rest of the world is lucky that we in the US are generally good natured, because if we threw the kind of temper tantrums often tossed at us, we could easily melt down the entire world about 500 times over. Not that we are the only ones with those kinds of toys, but I am just sayin'.
[Nexus One Accessories] Spinstorm:
While I can't speak for it within the USA - the USPS is unreliable as it takes longer than any other mail service from the USA. I have never gotten anything couriered through USPS from America.

And I wasn't specifically saying the reason for the delay was down to your own postal services - as the guy previously said its going through several postal services and customs in several countries so that is why it can take a while.

And lets avoid political arguments here as everyone who isn't from the US will totally disagree with that last comment about being good natured :P and you do what you said everyweek somewhere in the world it seems anyway :P

Anyway back to the batterys - I actually ordered the same package even though I have an offical N1 spare I got from Google... so I already have 2 batteries - I am not sure why I need 4 of them lol
[Nexus One Accessories] clustered:
I cant order it.... he said that he's not gonna ship to Malaysia... so sad... :(
[Nexus One Accessories] attn1:
1. If you really want to avoid political arguments, then perhaps you should not make inflammatory political remarks. Saying what you said and then going on to further rip is like saying "shut up and listen, then shut up some more." Well, we arrogant Americans have big mouths, so it's not likely to always work that way.

2. That USPS takes longer for international mail does not make it more unreliable. It just makes it slower.

3. Customs are a fact of life. The USPS, being a government agency, can't be bothered to skirt or expedite customs.

Sure, I can stick to the topic. Can you? I ordered as well.
