[Hero, G2 Touch General] yozgatg:
unfortunately i can't agree more

their first excuse was that they needed to port the Sense UI to Android 2.1, however the legend and desire are already out + their firmware must have been ready for at least a month

you might say that April 16th was just a rumor and HTC didn't promise us anything, however it's unacceptable that we have not received a single update for our devices to date! (i'm not counting 2.73 since it was 1.5, no android 1.6, 2.0 or 2.0.1)

i was thinking of getting a Desire, however since the HTC support has let me down for the last time, i'm switching to Motorola
[Hero, G2 Touch General] vjprakashbe:
No more HTC! EVER! Whatever it may be...!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Alex Slane:
Yep very disapointing indeed ,

i made my choice of phone on the basis that it was going to get a upgrade on firmware , recently took a 24 month contact with orange and was told that the hero was getting a upgrade as of the 16th by customer services .

i could of held off as the desire or the x10 was becoming available .

the desire was my first choice .

i think that HTC really need to pull there socks up on this one .
[Hero, G2 Touch General] crilin80:
Well, I think I will root my Hero and istall a cooked 2.1 .

My next phone will be not an HTC...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] daniel_owen_uk:
I know you are all dissapointed, but I am actually quite pleased with HTC, not because of the delay, but they have come out in their official capacity and said it's delayed until the end of the month.

At least now we have something to go on, something official that says it will be coming this month.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
There is no official Statement! htc_ru, HTC benelux and others all stated wrong dates up to now. i heard like 10 different release dates. what makes you think that htc_ru tweet is correct this time?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] daniel_owen_uk:
First time I have HTC in any official capacity state a date.

Others have been responces to emails quoted by some other site.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ITMASTER:
I got email from HTC support

APPLICATION UPDATE.

Released today.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] KjetilA:
Have you actually checked the site? There's no ROM-update there now is there?

Starting to get a little bit pissed off over HTC, postponing the upgrade again and again.

No, that's why I said application update. Not rom update.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x986123:
I freakin' bought my Nexus One unlocked about 5-6 days ago! Why couldn't they announce this ****!?

And they should have at least given some kind of exchange for the AT&T version. I do not want to pay a $45 restocking fee.

Anyone else got burnt by Google and HTC on this?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
Surely you were aware of the fcc approval for a nexus one that's compatible with att, that happened nearly....three weeks ago?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShyTownFantasy:
That's horrible. Maybe you should call them?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deprecate:
Ouch.

I would call this an Apple move.

Friend bought an iphone for 200 bucks. One week later, they went on sale for 99.

Give Google a call and explain that you want to return your phone and swap it out for the ATT one. If they make you pay the restocking fee, it will be easier than having to sell it on your own...plus you run the risk of losing more than 50 bucks when offloading the phone on your own.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x986123:
Called Google and HTC... both say no exchange is possible, only a return with a restock fee. How long does a return usually take? For me to get my money fully refunded?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manderson8898:
At least you have the choice to just pay the restock some of us fell for the early release and now get to move to T-Mobile eventually....
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deprecate:
Just sell it. Craigslist, Ebay, etc. That's what I am doing right now. I would rather have to pay 100ish bucks for a phone that uses 3G on my current provider than have to worry about changing providers and suffering until then.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GNOve:
hmmm news about the nexus one heading to att beeen out for months.

It even passed FCC regulations a few weeks back.

So basically because you were impatient and wanted it NOW!! your trying to blame google and HTC?

I have a friend that wanted the nexus one but did not want to switch to tmobile or be stuck on edge. You know what he did after I told him that it was heading to att?

HE WAITED!! so easy to do.

Just pay the restocking fee and stop *****ing about it. IS YOUR FAULT!! not theirs.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mi|enko:
Find somebody that wasn't a T-Mobile one, have them buy the AT&T, then trade?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcarrz1:
Does anyone know if there will be problems rooting this one vs the regular t-mobile one, as I am about to buy it...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
Should be the same rooting process as the AWS version.

I'm not surprised this has causes such a stir, lol... I convinced my buddy to buy the N1 for use on AT&T. He finally gave in about 2 weeks ago... now he wants ME to sell the AWS version. :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gr8gorilla:
Just return it and buy an ATT one.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
Nothing has changed on the hardware except for the band swap. Same exact phone.

This skin is brilliant to hold! Well designed. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a nice slim, good to feel case!

NOTE: Just a word of warning the HTC Hero Desktop Charging Cradle will not fit the phone when the case is fitted.

looks exactly the same as the ebay one i got,only difference is the price

mine costs around £2.50
[Hero CDMA General] Darkshneider:
As the title says, I just started using Gowalla (also Foursquare) yesterday and found it really slow using DamageControl v1.0. A friend of mine has a MT3G with 1.6 and it had a decent speed. So I nandied back to Gumbo 1.5c, it was usable and not refreshing every 10 seconds so I figured maybe Id try another ROM, so I went with DarchLegend, same thing happened.

Anyone else experiencing this?

mind boggling.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] idaeis:
hey guys, i´ve got just one question...

is it possible to get an transparent taskbar for my htc magic 32b (vodafone)

yes,thats been asked many times before, but i´ve just found custom taskbars for cyanogen and superD roms...

i´ve got the stock vodafone rom with root and wifi-thetering...

somebody some ideas?

thank you!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] digitaljeff:
i dont think you can.. as you would need root to overwrite the sys files for taskbar..

why dont you root and install a custom rom?? wayyyy better than stock roms..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] idaeis:
i´ve got root permissions,it´s an modified stock rom with root!

i don´t want cyanogen or superD they are too buggy in my opinion...

so, root is not the problem,is there any way in using metamorph?:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuins:
Hello people the keyboard is terrible.... especially using dictionary.. i try better keyboard but I have same result.. anyone has any solution?? I want try with original android keyboard but I don't know install it...help me..

Not really! The keyboard lags especially with sms application for me. It works perfectly with Email, market... ?!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e.japonica:
Eris lag then use Legend :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quistnix:
You could try a vanilla rom like aHero or Vanillain, they run way smoother then the Sense roms.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0jo:
opposite here. Sense roms run a lot smoother for me!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juansuandi:
same with me. i've tried all vanilla ROM. but sense run a lot smoother than it.

i hate sense but not find any good vanila rom yet.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anarchyuk:
the lag seems inherent of HTC kernels, that is one of the reasons cyanogen released his modded kernel... The behero legend build is fairly good with lag compared to others! Well I say that but soon as it starts to asterix a password then things get a bit freaky!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niclas90:
BeHero

Just download behero. The keyboard isnt laggy at all.. almost better than 1.5 firmware. Plus its based on the Legend.
[Nexus One General] hei_lam:
hi,

did any guy find out the Nexus One display have a crosstalk issue

white blackground, black words, have a gray line on the words left or right side.
[Nexus One General] ram130:
I believe this was posted before. But have this issue also!
[Nexus One General] zeus_chingon:
And I thought that i had a problem with my eyes. Does anyone got any more information about it? I've been searching the whole day without success. Gonna try to compare it with other nexus ones. As for now, it seems that i can only replicate those grayish patterns in the facebook app main menu and in the brower. Can't think on anywhere else that might show this patterns. Anyone with this issue?
[Nexus One General] animoo:
Hi all!

Mine has the same, but I didn't care about it very much. It appears only in the internet browser.

Don't remember whether my Omnia II did the same (AMOLED as well).
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
My Nokia n85 doesn't seem to have this problem.
[Nexus One General] zeus_chingon:
Is this a hardware issue or merely bad software implementation.
[Nexus One General] BlueScreenJunky:
Probably hardware, and it does that on every Nexus One AFAIK.

It's not really bothering me though, and (along with the dodgy touchscreen and subpar GPU) gives me a reason to wait for the Nexus 2 or whatever android phone will be out when my contract expires ^^
[Nexus One General] zeus_chingon:
so how many nexus ones have you looked into with the same issues. I confirmed with only 2 out of 2 with that issue, albeit it's more noticeable at the lowest brightmess.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
I hadn't noticed this before. I looked very closely at mine and I can see what you're talking about. Odd... not that big a deal to me.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
What, do you want a cookie or something? This is a Nexus forum.
[Nexus One General] drdingo21:
The N85 also has an OLED screen. Which would indicate its not an OLED issue but a software issue.

You're not the sharpest tool in the shed, huh?
[Nexus One General] zeus_chingon:
After much thinkering, I do believe that it's a software issue. Something allong the rendering function used.
[Nexus One General] gsmsosv:
Or maybe it's because they clearly aren't using the same OLED hardware. Is your N85 using a Pentile display? Didn't think so. No need to get snarky when you've completely overlooked the obvious yourself.
[Nexus One General] xDaN-Camper:
Me too, I noticed that thing the first day I turned on my Nexus. By leveling up the brightness it's seems to disvanece a bit.
[Nexus One General] drdingo21:
I don't have an N85 and didn't research it any further than to verify it had in OLED display because I don't care.

But I understood the point he was trying to make and not just being a blatant ass like you were.
[Desire General] jojosplace:
Does anyone know if this is supported (old style 'real keys' texting)?

Like the image in this site (5th one down).

I've never had an Android phone before so I don't know if it's QWERTY only, many thanks for the help!

I have done a search but can't find anything, plus for some reason the XDA side goes a bit 'wonky' on my work computer (links/image/searches` not showing).
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
You get 3 Options (much like on windows mobile) :

1) Full QWERTY (which works absolutely great btw)

2) Mini QWERTY (like on the blackberrys)

3) Keypad/T9
[Desire General] mhewitson:
I would highly recommend the swype keyboard.

As a G1 owner I was convinced I wasn't going to get a phone without a real keyboard untill I used it - and it's only because I find it so easy to use, and fast, that I am now going to upgrade to the Desire.
[Desire General] jojosplace:
See I went from a 'normal' phone to the X1 so I'm used to a 'really' keyboard or T9 multi tap and was worried about not being able to text correctly!

The other question I have (not really related to the keyboard) is about the resolution difference between the Desire and the Legend.

I prefer the look of the Legend and it's size however after having an x1 with it's high resolution (though tiny 3" screen) I'm worried that I would find the Legends lower resolution inferior to the x1, which had naturally lead me to the Desire, however I'm concerned about the overall size.

What do you guys think, does HVGA look rubbish on a 3.2" screen or is it fine compared to the like of the Sony Ericssons x1 3" WVGA?!?
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
Obviously, the pixel density is significantly higher on the X1 compared to the Legend so you will notice a difference. I suppose the best thing for you to do is to go to a store and play with the Hero which has the same screen size and resolution. See if that's ok with you. Keep in mind that the Legend's screen will be supposedly crisper due to the AMOLED.

Personally, I think the pixel density on the Legend/Hero is fine. This is coming from someone who's used to high pixel density of the Diamond and Touch Pro2.
[Desire General] jojosplace:
Many thanks for coming back to me, I might nip into a shop when the phones are out. The only problem is that I live in Northern Ireland and sometimes it's hard to find a shop which sells 'smart' phones, it's usually just iphones and nokias!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gregalous:
So I've found all the files that pertain to the lockscreen on a 2.1 sense build save for one: the little black background that goes behind the notifications (missed call, new message, etc.) I'd simply like to make it a little shorter so that it doesn't reach all the way up to the time. Does anyone know what this file is called and where it's located?

Thanks.
