Flashing light...

Does anyone know how to extend the time that the little green light blinks after a new text message has arrived, or after a missed call? I found where you's normally change it in sounds and notifications...but the option is grayed out and it's set for 5 minutes. It'd be nice to have it blink a little longer if I miss a message coming in!

Thanks!!

Was looking around this morning on line and sen this new post on the pcpro web site

http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/smartphones/356638/htc-legend

how can anyone that knows about stuff say that this is better than the HD2, In my eyes the HD2 is better than the iphone
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
Reviewers have claimed for years that every 'X' phone that comes down the line is an iPhone killer. The fact of the matter is the HD2 is the only one that makes iPhoners look on in interest. That's all that needs to be said.
[HD2 General] mystik610:
I've been using an iPhone for almost 3 years and got an HD2 yesterday. Several others here have done the same. Says a lot, I think
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
Some of the top independent iPhone devs have switched to an HD2 as well! Saw em floating around over in the dev and hacking forum up there :)
[HD2 General] Spike15:
Mostly it's bias against Windows Mobile and Microsoft in general.

It's the same thing you see whenever a new Apple product comes out versus when a new Microsoft product comes out. The only exception to this rule is Windows 7.
[HD2 General] donwhann:
hd2 is the first wm iv had and tbh, i totally love it. i can do so much more on this mobile than any other iv had. the only thing im gutted about is the drop in support of flash which is a pretty big issue for me.

now if only i could get that ps1 emulater up and running..........
[HD2 General] A|ex:
The Legend is not as good as the Desire but then again but the HTC EVO 4G(Supersonic) is amazing, its like the HD2 on drugs. Its going to be my next phone and bye bye WinMo. I think the HTC Desire/Legend walks all over the HD2 mainly because the OS it is running i think is better than WM. The hardware in the Legend is not as good as the HD2 and the Desire / HD2 are more or less the same with each winning on certain things
[HD2 General] iBlade67:
Same here iPhone packed up and put on a shelf, most likely will sell it. Just love my HD2.
[HD2 General] skylinepigeon:
The legend is just the successor to the hero... nothing highend about it.
[HD2 General] cMMY69:
A lot of tech press appear to have been against WinMo for years. Hell, there's at least one Mobile Phone magazine in the UK (I honestly can't remember it's name) that states every month in its run down of handsets that HTC shot themselves in the foot by NOT providing a MicroSD card in the packaging (forget the fact that they do) and nearly all of the reviews I've read have said that WinMo 6.5 is too clunky (you hardly ever see it under the wonderful Sense UI). Even though they piss all over the phone they still give it a high score. The press does its best to warn everyone away from WinMo and to be honest Microsoft is doing a good job of warning future buyers against buying Windows Phone 7 Series devices by demanding everyone uses an extremely boring business interface and telling everyone that it definately isn't a business phone (WinMo is a business OS IMHO).

Regards.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] stalkerzone:
Hi.

My Touch Pro is acting somewhat weird.

The other day I walked in what best can be described as moist weather. It wasnt raining but it wasnt dry either. I had my headset on an the radio running on my touch pro. No problems. Later that day it freaked on me.

The backlight wouldn't turn on no matter what i did. Until i soft reset the phone. Then it turned on until it went to sleep by itself. Then the lcd turned off but the backlight stayed on. One hard reset later and it was fixed. A few hours later i recieved a text and it took forever to open the messaging app, and as soon as i startet typing on the keyboard it kept turning the light on and off, and the caps an fn lights cycled on and off also. I had to turn to the soft keyboard to answer the text. And the phone now seems REALLY slow and unresponsive, like cpu cycles are being used. But nothing is running on the phone.

And thats basicly how its been ever since. I can se both the water sensitive labels have turned red, and i sure that its because of my walk outside.

I've tried hard resetting, flashing the original rom, flashing a new 6.5 rom, drained the battery completely (not that hard because the backlight wont turn off) and off course fully charging the battery. Nothing seems to help.

Any ideas of what to change, or ways to fix it. Theres no warranty on it, and even if there was they wouldnt touch it because of the water sensitive labels has been triggered.

Any help is appriciated.

Im thinking of buying the tattoo instead if it aint feasible to fix it, but im really hoping cause im not sure i can live without the hardware keyboard.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Windzer:
I replaced the slider on my tilt 2, and I just need the original TF3D 2.1 slider so I can restore it to original. Can anyone help?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jcterry:
You should be able to restore it by uninstalling the theme. Go to Start>Settings>System>Remove Programs, select the theme and press the Remove button. When you restart TF3D, the original should come back.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sirphunkee:
What model of Rhodium do you have? Each carrier has a different default slider on TF3D 2.1 ROMs.

Brent372 has a site that has most of the stock ones on it for people to download...I'll have to look up the site when I get home, I don't have it handy at the moment.

The method jcterry mentioned should work in most any case....unless you want to keep the rest of the custom theme and just revert your slider back to stock,...in that case you'll need to grab the stock files again like you were thinking.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Paul22000:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/samsung-announces-galaxy-s-android-smartphone

http://www.samsungunpacked.com/#

- 1 GHz Snapdragon

- Super AMOLED, meaning you can view it in full sunlight

- 4" screen

- Android 2.1

- HD video recording

- DivX / XviD / Avi / MKV playback

- Front facing camera

- 1500 mAh battery (N1 is 1400)

- 16 GB memory + microSD

- 9.9mm thin (N1 is 11.5 mm!)

!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] grainysand:
Only problem? Samsung. They've never been amazing with firmware updates. Their app drawer is also really, really ugly.

"Successor" seems a bit of an exaggeration, too, considering this uses a 1 GHz Snapdragon anyway. It's the same generation. I'd consider a device a "successor" if it's the next step up--1.5 GHz processor at the very least.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] iVisionX01:
I bet it will be awesome...until the next version of android comes out.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] b31ac:
what about rom/ram?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thrasher9:
I'm impressed they have xvid/divx playback in there. I imagine it won't be long until we get that on our nexus one.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rori~:
And the size??

I mean 4" screen is cool to have, but the whole phone gets bigger...SamsungPad :) ...but I like the front camera :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Paul22000:
That's true. I'm eagerly awaiting the next batch of processors, but who knows when that will be?

In the mean time, this has me salivating.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] david1171:
LOL, the exact same thing I thought when I saw it say Samsung.

While I am impressed at all the support for various files, they couldn't force that hideous UI on me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Paul22000:
N1: 59.8 x 119 x 11.5 millimetres, 130 grams (battery included)

From: http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=2200&c=google_nexus_one_us_htc_passion

S: 64.2 x 122.4 x 9.9mm, 118g

Thinner and lighter. Width and height are just barely larger, which is impressive considering the extra 0.3" on the screen size.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rori~:
hmm, you are right..that looks good :o
[Galaxy S I9000 General] htc fan89:
nexus one still looks sexier than the samsung lol
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Paul22000:
This I can't disagree. The S looks like an iPhone clone. The N1 has its OWN style.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] grainysand:
Also, there's the HTC Supersonic: basically a HD2 but with Android on it. Sleek as hell, WiMax/4G support, and an even bigger screen! It's about the only phone currently that makes me lust a little.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] britoso:
cool phone, unfortunately looks too much like an iDoesNot.

I just want the codecs/binaries ported!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nenco:
Super amoled is amoled and touch sensors in the same layer
[Galaxy S I9000 General] swaze:
Htc supersonic ftw!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mesajoejoe:
I dont see this phone being thinner as a good thing. The N1 is thin enough as is. Make the Samsung a little thicker than the N1 with a hard keyboard and im sold.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RaQHoliday:
Hmmmmm...

No sir, I don't like it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] moxycalt:
WHY DON'T WE GET THE GOOD PHONES IN CANADA :mad::mad: I hate that....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rusty!:
Not bad, not bad at all.

Would ditch that UI though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Markdental:
The 100 mA more battery will prob be sucked up by the larger screen.

I can't imagine it having better battery life.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] firerock:
How can you call this a Nexus One's successor? It has larger screen (or a bit better) and some minor upgrades. Same CPU and with Samsung's control over Google default UI, good luck on upgrading that.

From G1 > Nexus One, I believe everyone would agree that's the correct successor description.

Nexus One > Galaxy S = minor upgrades
[Galaxy S I9000 General] danimar1:
+1

Suffered this with the Samsung Galaxy I7500 (not the Spica)

I only want the Divx, although I rarely play videos, just being greedy here :D, seems everyone but us is getting it lately!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lightforce:
the HTC Evo 4g now thats the successor Screw the samsung lol
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mudrock1000:
I disagree. I think the HTC evo is taking the torch as the best, for quite some time.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Schwacker:
Right when I'm about to pull the plug this week and buy a N1 (since I'm off contract with ATT) but now the Sprint 4G Supersonic comes out this summer!! Auggh!!!!!! now I might have to seriously think about jumping to Sprint and not buy the N1. Pfffffffffft.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] coolbho3000:
The Nexus One's successor will be sold at http://www.google.com/phone. Everyone else can stuff it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vegetaleb:
I never liked the Samsung build phones because of their poor materials + this 4'' will be too big (but not for girls :D)

I don't think a sec that it's the N2 because the SE X10 is way better in every ways
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cheetah2k:
No, the "Super" has nothing to do with touch sensors being in the same layer... Super Amoled shares the same characteristics as standard amoled screens, but Super Amoled is much brighter, better contrast, less glare outside, and 20% less power hungry than standard Amoled. Its basically what Amoled should have been in the first place, but Samsung rushed it to production...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] maxawesome:
Honestly, I'm pretty blase about this phone except for two things: SuperAMOLED and the front-facing camera, which will allow for Skype-style video conferencing.

The only other thing that would make it win over the N1 is if they put the effing radio somewhere other than where your hand naturally covers it in regular use. How stupid of HTC. I'm still boggling over that. Oh well, I'll get over it.

In two years' time I'll look at this phone along with the N1 with a sneer like I look at my G1 now. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wind0zer:
Haha!! true true.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] faraz1992:
Doesn't seem like a successor to me. Its a different kingdom (Samsung) that sucks...

The "SuperAMOLED" display is the only thing I like.

Front facing camera is useless unless you want to use your phone like a mirror ;)

The 9.9 mm thick phone isn't much of a benefit. Using keyboard becomes painful of a very thin phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ap3604:
Yawn......
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hugonz:
FYI, this isn't a 1GHz Snapdragon (Qualcomm) - it's a new 1GHz Samsung processor, basically a speed bump to the current Samsung application processors (like those used in iPhones).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] James Bell:
As someone unlucky enough to have bought a Samsung Galaxy I cannot warn you away strongly enough. Every bit of momentum you feel with a Google phone is gone with a Samsung. They completely abandoned Galaxy users after just 2 months, and this was a $500 phone!

The hardware specs don't matter if the maker won't support it with fixes and updates.

Go ask any previous Samsung owner if they will buy another.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] uansari1:
Not to mention it's SKINNED! It's no successor, as many have already alluded to..but a great indicator of which way these phones are going. By next January, we'll have something ridiculous.

So it's thinner but weighs 40% more than the Nexus One... just wanted to point that out. I would have thought it the other way around.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tehmk:
Also since it isn't made by HTC, most Android Devs won't support it, probably a long time till someone even plucks down the time for rooting it, Samsung does support their flagship and popular phones, Droid is getting a update I heard. Just don't buy low-end non-HTC phones, as even rooting or upgrading it will be extremely difficult, as seen with most low-end android phones still being on 1.6 or even lower, with no update in sight. Even HTC Hero still has sometime to go before it's update.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] faraz1992:
It doesn't have the "OH MY GOD" factor, maybe because of the name "SAMSUNG" attached to it. Samsung builds are poor. Nexus still way better than Galaxy S.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] grainysand:
Yeah. About all Samsung are good for is cheap touchscreen feature-phones. They're great value for their prices, but high-end, classy beasts with long support cycles they are not. Their build quality isn't bad per se, but I find that even their high-end/flagship devices look and feel... cheap.

I understand there's some developing community around Samsung Android phones, but it's nothing compared to the privilege users of HTC phones enjoy (or the talent pool! We've got so many amazing developers on here).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] antoniouslj:
Wrong. Read the first sentence of this article... http://www.oled-info.com/super-amoled
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Look, as long as this phone hits XDA, and people develop for it, you're fine. Will it have an unlocked bootloader? That's all that matters.

Forget the bad UI. I bet you people will port sense to it DAY 1. You can always run stock Android can't you?

And with 8gb built in memory, forget having to root to put apps on SD. You can go app crazy!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Paul22000:
Dream phone:

Evo 4G with Super AMOLED!!!

The TFT display is the one downside.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] grainysand:
It's Samsung. Unlocked bootloader isn't exactly common practice.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] teleknEsis:
Honestly, I will never buy an Android phone with a custom UI overlay from a vendor. It just means you will never be on the latest and greatest version of Android and must wait until the vendor releases, at bare minimum, drivers for the updated versions of Android.

The Nexus One is going to keep me more than satisfied.... until a 1.5 ghz or dual-core phone comes out :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hypersonicx:
From the specs, I think the Evo is better and is from HTC which means more likely to get the bootloader unlocked similer to the Nexus which is also from HTC.

Plus the Evo has HDMI output which was I find to be the biggest attraction plus screen similer in size to the HD2 which shoulda had WM7 on it instead of WM6.5 LOLOL
[Galaxy S I9000 General] galaxys:
Agree, the Evo specs are impressive! Too bad it's not GSM 3G on Tmobile...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] timeu:
It would be interesting to see how the A8 Cortex 1Ghz performs compared to the 1Ghz Snapdragon (as regards battery life and performance).

According to the samsung video presentation the A8 Cortex 1 Ghz CPU can push 90 million triangles/sec. As far as I know the snapdragon can do 22 Million or so (correct me if I am wrong here). Anyways what's really speaking in favor of the samsung phone is the super amoled display which is probably better than the already superb N1 display and definately better than the normal TFT LCD of the Evo.

There are still some questions which need to be answered (like touchscreen quality) with the biggest being support for their phones (update of android os).

Spec wise I would prefer the Samsung over the Evo (4,3'' display would be too large for me).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Brajin:
Well samsung has a good track record of loading there phones with good hardware. But as far as development these things just do not get the same attention. Plus is it me or does this thing look way too "IPhone esc"?? Now the HTC EVO is a serious phone, shame its on Sprint and not a GSM provider
[Galaxy S I9000 General] timeu:
Apparantly the samsung Cortex A8 combined with the the dedicated GPU is really 3 times faster than the snapdragon (90 Million Trianlges/s vs 22 Million/s) at least on paper. Can't post it but there is an article over at gizmodo about that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nephroid:
I agree with teleknEsis. I don't want to have to wait long for updates.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Andrewtst:
Previously I use quite a lot of Samsung Phone and I start getting ready bored with their TouchWiz.

Samsung please stop producing any phone with TouchWiz, normatter how many generation of the TouchWiz, it pretty same with slightly enhancement.

Come on and give us something new.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jerhoyet:
Does this phone have touchwiz?

I'm not going to lie, the specs on this thing are beast and I've read it has 3x the GPU power of the N1 (which is pretty f***ing amazing for 3-months-down-the-road if you ask me).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jollins:
Looks nice I guess if you don't already have a recent android phone. The nexus was released in January and mobile tech moves amazingly fast, so seeing the nexus lose the title of fastest phone is no surprise.

Samsung though... their UIs have really been bad in the past so I can't help but doubt that this theme of their's won't be as good/better than stock Android.

Regardless, this phone doesn't exactly blow the nexus away spec-wise. I won't be upgrading until there is a new phone (preferably by HTC) that has much better specs -- something noticeable enough to justify losing some money over.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DigitaL BlisS:
Hahaha! Agreed.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ap3604:
You are definitely right! :D

I wont ever buy another phone from a carrier again.

Check out how pissed off the droid owners are at AndroidCentral since they have been waiting for 3+ months without an update... imagine if every update in the future takes 4-5 months to make it through the carrier?

Seems like a bunch of B.S. to me, and a major reason to buy from Google from now on...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bobdude5:
oorrrrr you can get it for tmobile no contract use it till the supersonic comes out and then sell your nexus and buy the supersonic with some money left over (subsidized price) :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pjcforpres:
What are the RAM specs? Maybe I missed it or am failing at google this afternoon, but without RAM specs, there is no way to compare properly. As well, I much rather have the Google backed phone than a Samsung backed phone. As much as I enjoyr selling Samsung, I would never buy one of their smartphones since I like my freedom too much.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Paul22000:
Well, they COULD always just root... That's the thing; this is a complete non-issue for us because the people here will always be willing to root and install new OS versions weeks before it's official ;)

The issue is Droid owners who aren't willing to root :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] march7th:
Samsung will probably wait until last minute to release full specs like they did w/behold II. Probably not gonna buy another Android phone from a carrier again if Google keeps selling their own devices. Not only does a custom UI delay updates but so do the carriers. By the time these phones are released I wouldn't be surprised if we haven't moved on to a newer version of the OS and people will ***** about how their new 2.1 device is already outdated.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] getrdy:
I've had 3 Samsungs and honestly i have no idea why I bought them. All of them were really Bad ( not talking about being bad in just one thing but bad as in almost everything). Don't get me wrong Samsung is not a bad company for TVs but... the phones they make just ---- . The nexi might have lost the competition on paper but I'm sure overall ill be happier with it. Plus who are you going to trust Google or a washing machine??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Well in that case it's like having my Telus Milestone. Locked and can't do crap with it. LOL. At least this phone has the horsepower to run Android properly.............
[Galaxy S I9000 General] greengoldmello:
"Snapdragon" is a System on a Chip created by qualcomm. It contains a cpu based on the cortex a8 architecture. The samsung may be graphically superior, but cpu wise, they are about the same. That being said, i dont believe you will see the samsung being faster doing anything that doesnt require the gpu.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] timeu:
As far as I know the snapdragon is an ARM based processor but it's not exactly the same as the A8 Cortex. According to wikipedia: "The Snapdragon application processor core is called Scorpion and is similar to the ARM Cortex-A8 core."

I agree that that cpu performance would be probably the same.

I justed wanted to point out that the GPU performance is impressive (so graphic intensive apps should probably perform better on the samsung). But probably existing apps haven't pushed the current GPU's to their limits anyways (so it probably doesn't make any difference)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pr0orz1337:
Don't foreget that the samsung galaxy s is the first Android DivX HD certified phone, and nowadays GPUs help a lot in video decodification.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] topdnbass:
I probably won't end up getting a samsung android phone.

All that bada schmada crap is too much to deal with.

I was interested in the pico by samsung though.

Has it's own mini projector :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hotweiss:
Who cares if Samsung's makes it. As long as it has Android, and as long as it is rootable. The hardware specs for this phone are amazing. What I would do to have proper XVID playback on my phone...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pr0orz1337:
Unconfirmed rumour talks about a Samsung Galaxy S pro version with keyboard

http://es.engadget.com/2010/03/31/rumor-samsung-galaxy-s-pro-ya-tendria-fecha-y-precio-aproximado/
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hotweiss:
Another rumor states that it will cost $1000.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bobdude5:
now thats a rip off
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pr0orz1337:
No camera flash led, what a mess! :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] C.Slater:
I hate it. Sorry. I mean, the specs are impressive but the UI and case design look so much like an iphone that it's embarrassing.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rusty!:
In fairness, there's really not a lot of design you can do with touchscreen form factor.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] irishrally:
I don't know about that. I see a fairly drastic difference in industrial design between even the N1 and the Desire, and they are essentially the same phone.
