GPS, IM, exercise apps, etc. There are many examples where true multitasking is necessary.

Having said that, I'd be quite happy for Microsoft to manage which apps can multitask through the Marketplace approval process as long as that process is more transparent than Apple's.

Here is link to Verizon pdf w/details of update - available now by download through VZW

[Droid Eris Android Development] Raziken:
Sorry if I seem like a wet blanket, but thats for the Motorola Droid, not the HTC Droid Eris.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Jacklad:
Just realized that - changed post - I got a little excited! Thanks for checking me -
[Droid Eris Android Development] Raziken:
Not a prob :P

Although with the release of the Moto upgrade, and the 2.1 leak, I don't see why the two wouldn't be a simultaneous release.
[Droid Eris Android Development] edgeupgx:
Pretty nice update live wallpapers included I know that was something people didnt think they would get. Wish eris stuff would be released already. Ugly step child android phone such a bad decision...although I still blame the damn reps when I bought it because they stated eris would have navigation within a month or two of being released. Little did I know at that time how stupid they were
[Droid Eris Android Development] Raziken:
Can't blame them, I think they're commission based.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Jacklad:
I don't know - even though the "big" Droid is faster, etc., I really like the form factor of the Eris - it's really is a lot of phone in a nice package - hopefully we'll get this OTA udpate soon and we can get on with enjoying our toys -
[HD2 General] Master-D:
hello

i have a couple of questions about the HD2

1) i have noticed that sometimes when someone calls me

the phone only vibrates and not rings

it's totaly random ( not same person , group etc )

2) is there an option\mod that could transfer a person birth date from contact details ( birth date from facebook contact ) to the calender

so i could know who has a birthday without manually doing it ?

any thoughts \ ideas

thanks in advance
[HD2 General] MidnightDraven:
2. birthdays from FB appear under the "updates and events " tab in the All people.

i.e. all people - scroll right to updates and events. menu - update (if need be) and it will show them there.
[HD2 General] Master-D:
i do not see the birthdays there

in any case i'm interested in transfering them to the calender if possible
[HD2 General] MidnightDraven:
They will only show up about 2 weeks in advance of the B-day.

I don't know of a way to transfer them; except to enter manually.
[HD2 General] Master-D:
a friend had a birthday on the 17

and on that day i looked in the updates and events

he had no updates

in anycase can someone answer the first question ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] joe mboule:
Pin Lock is set to lock phone after 5mins and this is preventing igo to run. I could hear voice directions in the background. I have to Continuously clear the screen to navigate. I have checked all the backlight settings but none seems to work. Help Pls. No problems with TomTom and Garmin.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:
iGo should have a dynamic power setting

I don't use Pin Lock but iGo prevents my device from sleeping, regardless of the timeout set in Windows.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] joe mboule:
I thought so. The program continue to run in the background but pin lock screen prevents any interaction with the it until pin in entered. It's frustrating to disable pin lock anytime I want to run Igo8. Its a fantastic program...better than TT IMH
[Hero CDMA General] illogic6:
I guess I know what my next upgrade will be. :D

Nexus One from Google Coming to Sprint; Availability Date Announced Soon

Nexus One(TM) is planned for the Sprint Mobile Broadband Network with twice the network coverage of AT&T and ten times the network coverage of T-Mobile, both by square miles; Expands Sprint's Android(TM) portfolio

OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Mar 17, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Nexus One, the first wireless phone sold through Google(TM)'s web store, is planned for Sprint's 3G Mobile Broadband Network. Sprint (NYSE:S) will announce pricing and an exact availability date soon. Nexus One will benefit from Sprint's 3G network with twice the coverage of AT&T and 10 times the coverage of T-Mobile, both based on square miles.1

Sprint currently has America's largest voice calling area of any carrier reaching more than 307 million people in the U.S., Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands with a Sprint phone and plan that includes roaming. PC World recently said no one has a more reliable network than Sprint in a 13 city 3G performance test.2 Customers can check the quality of network coverage with street level mapping at sprint.com/coverage.

"Nexus One is a powerful device that belongs on a powerful network. This is another step in our continued partnership of innovation with Google," said Fared Adib, Sprint vice president of product development. "Sprint customers already have the option of two amazing Android devices with Samsung Moment(TM) and HTC Hero(TM). It is a natural fit for us to add Nexus One to the list of choices available for Sprint customers who want the best value in wireless with the best in Android."

EDIT: "A pricing plan has not yet been determined for Nexus One..." Hmmm... I hope I don't have to fork over $500 for this thing.
[Hero CDMA General] Sporkman:
Oh hell yes !!
[Hero CDMA General] rockcrawler:
NICE FIND !!! Now let the deliberation begin....... N1 or Supersonic hmmmm :confused:
[Hero CDMA General] chococrazy:
It says it'll be on 3g not 4g....
[Hero CDMA General] aauussttiinn88:
good find im torn between that and the supersonic atleast if the supersonic falls through i can always get the N1! thanks for sharing the article gives me something to look foward to ...not that i dont love my hero or anything
[Hero CDMA General] swaze:
Thats cool, but now that the supersonic is coming there is no way I would downgrade to a N1. Thats just me though.
[Hero CDMA General] Bielinsk:
That is indeed very exciting. The N1 is a very very very nice phone.
[Hero CDMA General] magicalan:
JIZZ IN MY PANTS. :) am getting it
[Hero CDMA General] Avalaunchmods:
whichever comes out first will be what i get. supersonic is bad and all but i love the nexus. not to mention the incredible Dev support on the nexus. i live in ky so i could care less about 4g haha. man today has been a good cell phone day
[Hero CDMA General] atoy74:
Wow, decisions decisions. Dont know which I'd prefer, the Nexus One or Supersonic.

- 4g would be great but I doubt it'll be available in my area for a while. AND, although I love sense UI, it has obviously kept my Sprint Hero at ver. 1.5. I'm not happy about that.

- N1 is a Google phone so it'll receive all updates as soon as they come out. Plus, I like the noise cancelling mic.
[Hero CDMA General] Is_907:
I'll agree with you on that one... except that we'll be in the same boat as we are with the GSM Hero...

Nexus CDMA will probably not be compatible with all the Nexus GSM ROMs etc without extra work.

Not a huge deal... better to be that close to the first N1 so we can port their stuff than to have some random crazy phone no one has been developing for.

Also, being able to root more easily would be nice. ;)
[Hero CDMA General] centran:
Yes but by doing this Google is essentially giving CDMA more attention/work. It seems like the phone manufacturers where doing hacks(it is fact for the hero) to get CDMA to work. CDMA has been supported since 1.6 but now it seems like Google is fully acknowledging it.
[Hero CDMA General] kkruse:
ONLY 2 MONTHS after I got the hero. I wonder if it will have a nice subsidized price?
[Hero CDMA General] Apex i ITR:
I hated my Hero up until a 2.1 rom I put on there.....I'm interested in a faster phone to remind me of my iPhone (LOL). I will get whichever is cheapest
[Hero CDMA General] illogic6:
It had better. Too broke for a $500 price point. :(

If that was the case, at least it would make the N1/Supersonic decision easy.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
the nexus will be my next upgrade come late this summer then.
[Hero CDMA General] durhamite:
this news sucks... only because it makes the decision harder for me :( Either way, I can't do anything until October when my full rebate kicks in. I will never pay full price for one of these things!
[Hero CDMA General] giovannizero:
My stock hero was faster than my iPhone 3G and now that Im running 2.1 it's pretty similar in speed to all the 3Gs' I've used.
[Hero CDMA General] zikronix:
ill be getting the super sonic...why you ask

snapdragon

4g built in

bigger, higher res screen
[Hero CDMA General] akijikan:
Hrm...better list this hero now eh?
[Hero CDMA General] ajones7279:
Ahhhh!

Seriously this is awesome and all but now I can't decide on a phone. :(

I was set on the SuperSonic, now I'm seeing the Nexus One, and just read a few rumors about the Hero2 (HTC Legend). Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I love the look of the Legend but now I'm thinking N1. As far as 4g I'm not trippin' and Idk if I want a screen that size anyways.
[Hero CDMA General] atoy74:
I'm pretty sure the only difference between the N1 and Supersonic is 4g radio. N1 has snapdragon and the same res screen.

Lets hope HTC/Sprint doesnt do the same thing Verizon is doing and underclock the supersonic. They brought the Desire down to 768MHz.
[Hero CDMA General] illogic6:
Think about Wireless Tether if you're in a 4G market. I'll call and cancel the DSL once WiMAX is launched out here... lol
[Hero CDMA General] akijikan:
Sell my hero, cop the N1, then get the supersonic when my upgrade comes around in the fall.
[Hero CDMA General] JsChiSurf:
Wow. With the way rumors always leak, I can't believe how we were blind sided by this one. I think this is a google reaction to the slow Nexus one sales to date.

I'm torn as well, as the Supersonic is looking sweet. Assuming this won't have Sense, but I didn't see a reference anywhere.

On of the biggest complaints when it went to t-mobile was the inability of existing customers to get it (at a reasonable price), as well as the inflexibility of the calling/data plans, including no shared / family plans. Wonder what Sprint will do.
[Hero CDMA General] Sporkman:
4g is worthless to me atm no real due date for where i live
[Hero CDMA General] looneylu:
Deal breaker for me will be difference in price for 4g data plans... if it is too much, Nexus it is!!!
[Hero CDMA General] ajones7279:
The Nexus One is 3.7 inches, the SuperSonic, 4.3 inches. Res could be the same, but the size isn't.

Hmm...you're right. There's no 4g here, but there is where I plan on moving. Still, I have a home network that I share files and such over and do a lot of online gaming.
[Hero CDMA General] bk718:
sounds like a good plan.. think i'll do the same..
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
Haven't decided yet. My upgrade doesn't comes up again until October so I'll decide at the time...
[Hero CDMA General] ccapasso:
SOAB, and I just upgraded a month or so ago to the Hero :p
[Hero CDMA General] chuckhriczko:
Just so I'm on the record, I say screw the N1. Good phone but the Supersonic has it all. It's sexier, WiMax and *rumored* more memory. I'll go with that when I want to spend $500 on a phone :)
[Hero CDMA General] swaze:
+500

Im with you on that.
[Hero CDMA General] tejasrichard:
For me, it is almost a no-brainer. We've already been talkin about switching to Clear wimax. Their home service + city-wide WiFi is $55. That is for 6 Mbps down, which is what we already pay for just home access through Uverse.
[Hero CDMA General] giovannizero:
Does no one understand that the Nexus One won't cost $500+ to buy in contract? Seriously? Its going to cost the same as every other damn phone out there but theres the option to buy it out of contract. With t-mobile it's 179.99

WHAAAA! I HATE OPTIONS WHAAAAA!!! CALL THE WHAAAMBA-LAMPS!!!

</rant>

I would get the Nexus if it were 4g but by the time my upgrade time comes (next october) I'll probably have some more options. Sprint is rolling out 4g where I live in June.
[Hero CDMA General] jonnythan:
Assuming it's subsidized. It's not for AT&T.

I assume that has a lot to do with Apple and we will get a subsidized price, but you never know.
[Hero CDMA General] illogic6:
qft

10 chars
[Hero CDMA General] bcnice20:
Only thing I'm worried about is how hard its more then likely gunman be to root the supersonic n1 won't be a problem at all but I have a feeling sprints gonna go outta there way to lock it down as good as humanly possible
[Hero CDMA General] akijikan:
I also think the off contract price will drop by the time the sprint N1 rolls around.
[Hero CDMA General] sinistermeshes:
PRAISE THE ANDROID GODS!

I THINK IM CRYING. tears...of happyness
[Hero CDMA General] ajones7279:
Call me crazy but the phone I had really been looking at as of late was the HTC Legend/Hero2 which is rumored to come to Sprint. I reallllly love the look of this phone. Options options options. Just checked Clear's site and it would only be like $30 a month which is cool, although I was hoping to bundle tv+internet. It also comes down to price. Unless I wait until October for my 1-year upgrade, I'm gonna be paying full price. I could probably sell my Hero and get some back but who knows. We'll seeeeeeeee.

Edit: And I thought there wasn't gonna be a subsidized price for the N1 as it was gonna be offered only from Google, and not directly from Sprint?
[Hero CDMA General] giovannizero:
Yeah, I'm 99% sure that sprint will subsidize the N1. They had a press release about releasing the N1 while Google just said they would have an AT&T compatible version (no official word from AT&T)
[Hero CDMA General] Visionikz03:
Yeah it will be somewhat of a debate between N1 and Supersonic... I'm curious how the data part will work with Wimax since Clear is contracted with Sprint. I wonder if Sprint will only provide the voice service and it's up to the consumer to attain data service thru Clear as a separate entity? Or will Sprint have a plan that already includes Clear's data plan rolled into it. If so will u still have 3g coverage to backup incase ur in an area with no 4g coverage? There r still alot of questions to be answered. If the Supersonic only has 4g as high speed data and no 3g backup then the Nexus One seems more logical since 3g has prolly quadruple the coverage as 4g as of now. We'll see how it all plays out.
[Hero CDMA General] NCX001:
Hopefully it won't be that long before we get it. I hoping it'll be shortly after Verizon gets theirs.

This thread is the first I've heard about the supersonic and after studying up on it. I think I may have to go for that. I mean nexus launcher is sweet but sense is where it is at. 4g will be nice to have. Even though it isn't going to available here for a long time. And the screen! A giant screen! As for the development community behind it I mean look at our wonderful Hero it has a great development community for the size, I'll cross my fingers and hope the super sonic community is the same.
[Hero CDMA General] zikronix:
with the overdrive, clear provides the 4g service if theres no 4g it drops to 3g. Sprint sends you the bill. The upcharge on the overdrive for 4g access is 10.00 extra per month
[Hero CDMA General] Visionikz03:
Well that's good that the phone supports both 3g and 4g. $10/mo isn't bad for having backup 3g if necessary... Hmmm now just curious about the pricing.
[Hero CDMA General] Mr. Biggz:
FYI Sprint owns the majority share in the 4g network. Clear and Comcast are renting the equipment off them so more than likely Sprint will be offering the 4g data plan themselves and not through anyone else.
[Hero CDMA General] gthing:
Even if you buy it unsubsidized, it's not a bad deal.

Think about it:

Buy phone 1 (subsidized): -$200

Sell phone 1: +$300

Buy phone 2: -$500

Sell phone 2: +$300

Buy phone 3: -$500

etc.

As long as you sell your phone while it is still on the market, you can usually buy the latest and greatest for about $200 (that's $300 for your old phone subtracted from the $500 you'll spend on the new one).

I plan on selling my phone every single year and buying the newest one.
[Hero CDMA General] Wasney:
Thats exactly what I do. Had the instinct, sold it for 150, got the touch pro for 250, sold it for 200, got the hero for 130, will prob sell it for 200. And I should have a upgrade by the release date of this...Lol

I just have to decide, this or the Legend. I like the legends current design, but if sprint gets rid of the chin (which I like) I will get the N1.
[Hero CDMA General] watzone69:
Hey Richard! We just ditched AT&T DSL and got the $40/month Clear home internet. I have to say I'm pretty happy with it. The salesman told me that Sprint owns 51% of Clear so I'm interested to see how it will all work out when Sprint releases wimax phones.

Now I guess I understand why the HTC guys at the GDGT party were being so tight-lipped in their responses to our questions regarding which phones were coming to Sprint. Maybe they honestly didn't know or just couldn't spill the beans.

After playing around with the N1 at the party, I must say that I will get it if the price is right and if the Supersonic (which the HTC guy tried to say DIDN'T exist) doesn't come to Sprint. That Legend was awfully nice though...
[Hero CDMA General] ajones7279:
THIS. So far, what I've been reading is there will be "minor" changes but what exactly are they hmm? I swear I hated the fact that they were changing the Hero at first but fell in love with the new design but if they change the Legend like that, I'll be getting something else most likely.
[Hero CDMA General] BhRaElEfD:
The only reason I'd consider the N1 or Legend over the Supersonic is the screen. If the Supersonic were to have AMOLED screen, I'd start waiting in line tomorrow...
[Hero CDMA General] coldfire2122:
Very excited. Now I just need to decide on Nexus One or Supersonic :confused:
[Hero CDMA General] johnsongrantr:
Supersonic

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=2233&c=htc_a9292_htc_supersonic

Nexus One

http://www.google.com/phone/static/en_US-nexusone_tech_specs.html

I'm going for nexus one, just because of the community behind the builds, and the fact it's straight up from google, not going through another waiting game like we are with the hero for official software releases. And I'm a big fan of cyanogen's work, and he has an official port for the nexus one.
[Hero CDMA General] deadonarivalry:
I rather enjoy Sense. I'd much prefer a Desire or Supersonic over N1, though I know many people like the vanilla experience.
[Hero CDMA General] DanWalker:
OMG I hate Sprint right now! I waited until December to get my Hero hoping for a price drop, been unemployed since September. Then a month and a half later the price drops by almost half, very aggravating. But at least there is no way I can upgrade until X-Mas that way I can see what all you guys say and then go from there lol. Plenty of time for all the bugs to get worked out.
[Hero CDMA General] swaze:
Im sure there will be a community just as good for the supersonic when it comes out. Just look how the Htc Hero took off. That should be the last thing to worry about.
[Hero CDMA General] Genjinaro:
Exactly, I can't wait. I'll pay full retail for the Supersonic without a second thought.
[Hero CDMA General] johnsongrantr:
No offence to this community... I do like it... at times... but the gsm hero dev community is much bigger than the cdma version.... everything we got here is mainly just ports from those guys *up untill recently see:eris*

but the real big development comes from the ones running official "google" phones g1, ion, nexus... that's where I'm headed after this, there's no doubt in my mind of this. The ports aren't as hacky, main focus is on improvement, rather than break fixing. I've done my fair share of reading their forums.

Also, my point was, not having to rely on htc and sprint for updates. Once it's on the gsm nexus, it will be on the cdma nexus the next day (hopefully they don't screw the pooch like with our heros) and the radio is the only thing that is different.
[Hero CDMA General] swaze:
Yeah I agree. I know GSM is bigger but I me personally I don't want to just be like everyone else when it comes to phones. I don't get caught up in the hype of having this update first and all that. 2.1 is 2.1 as far as im concerned and just knowing there will be dev's working on it is enough for me. But I like to be unique and knowing that the N1 is already on 4 carriers, just makes me and my supersonic stand out and not just part of the crowd, ya feel me?

Like the other day I was in a bar and these iphone guys were amazed with my hero because they never saw it before, but only heard things. The video quality made theirs look like crap, plus when I showed them some random 2.1 features they were jealous. I just want that supersonic basically. lol
[Hero CDMA General] johnsongrantr:
well yea, in your case, absolutely, original, unique... more power to ya, and you are right, 2.1 is 2.1...

I like latest and greatest...so when 3.0 comes out I want to know I'll have the best shot at getting it the quickest... I don't mind having the same phone as someone else, and to be totally honest, I'd get an iphone if it were on sprint... well would have say a year ago, but I now love android but still want the one with the largest support community and most developers backing it up. To each their own I suppose.
[Hero CDMA General] toastcfh:
also

nexus one will have root out the box.

supersonic will most likely have to wait for an exploit to gain root.

keep in mind we will see google releasing 2.2 and newer builds before the years end. nexus will easily adapt to any new builds while supersonic owners will most likely be stuck waiting for root. but again very little is known aboutthe supersonic. so there is still a small tiny chance it will come with the out the box root option. << very small chance :( seeings its a htc released device instead of a google released device. even though i love to tinker. i think ill get the nexus :(most likely because i dont really need 4g because of where i live and root is very important to me. id hate to be stuck waiting for root like the eris guys. when i could be porting and loading up every new rom thats leaked with little mods. just an opinion. pricing will play a major roll also in my choice. as forking over 600 bucks for an unlocked device or one with 4g seems to be a bad investment for me. i just how they do use some favor and price these devices reasonably.
[Hero CDMA General] aauussttiinn88:
plus the supersonic's shape somewhat resmbles an iphone...BOOOO...and i just looked up where sprint is having all the four g networks and im not anywhere near it lol looks like its the N1 for me....hopefully most of us can go over and run **** in their forum lol
[Hero CDMA General] ljmeli:
by iphone shape you mean a squarish slab?
[Hero CDMA General] aauussttiinn88:
with super round corners....i dunno thats the first thing i though when i saw it....iphone...maybe apple will sue for that too...like hey we pattened that shape no no htc....apple is so whack
[Hero CDMA General] ajones7279:
But the HD2 has the same shape...
[Hero CDMA General] aauussttiinn88:
doesent that phone have a physical keyboard? and isnt it alot more thicker
[Hero CDMA General] ryanarpmedia:
Great

I am pretty sure sprint will wait till after my first 30 days as a sprint customer to release this. You know the point where I am stuck with my 2 year contract phone.
