I agree to what said above, but i still prefer acer liquid, the latest 2.1 update give wonderful eye pleasing 16 million color experience.Battery is good, no issues at all, in bright sunlight as well.X10 and N1 i had similar experiences as quoted above.
[XPERIA X10 General] shingers5:
x10 with 1.6 is no match for N1 with 2.1 i am afraid. i know cause i have used both devices. Droid/Milestone is no match for x10 even with 1.6 as Droid has serious issues with in call audio and overall audio levels and quality of ringtones and music. to be quite frank its rubbish. build quality of droid is very good and phone feels good in hand but Moto has work to do. kept my droid for less than a week and got rid! x10 build quality is not the best as i hate that cheap plastic feel it has and that screen is a magnet for fingerprints and whatever else is floating about! 1.6 limits this device and 2.1 update is urgently needed so we owners can fully benefit from the awesome power of this device.
[XPERIA X10 General] hampan:
I own Hero,N1 and X10.

Different people, different opinions - I actually prefer my X10 to the N1 mainly due to it being stable with data at all times and is quite the looker.

But of course, a newer version of android is always wanted, though it's definitively not the end of the world.

It's easy to get carried away with the negative comments but we're still talking about one of the best phones available today :)

None of my friends are unhappy with their X10:s either, it's up to what you like yourself but it isn't and never will be a bad phone and it will just keep getting better with the promised update.
[XPERIA X10 General] bclope:
I'm talking about the millestone not the Droid...they are supposed to be the same phone but they are not. Call quality in the Millestone for me is very good. It has an enhanced audio mode for phone calls.

The X10 has a "little" pitfall the rest does not have...It does not have full support for all EAP methods in a 802.1x wifi network. For instance those using the phone in a university campus in europe have no acces to eduroam network. Surprising because even old models like the HTC Hero did have. Hopefully it gets resolved with the update to 2.0
[XPERIA X10 General] Andrewtst:
You have bluetooth issue in N1? and you getting better when using Desire ROM? until now the Desire MOD ROM still break in bluetooth, the bluetooth is dead on Desire MOD ROM.

For me, AMOLED is always surpase better than TFT. Sorry if you don't like it. (Off course no doubt SE TFT is great but sincered it won't be better than AMOLED)
[XPERIA X10 General] hampan:
I find the X10 screen to feel more high res than N1 and text easier to read, the PenTile layout of N1's AMOLED is far from optimal and makes for a lower res feeling.

[LINK]Secrets of the nexus ones screen science color and hacks. ars technica

Newer tech != better tech.
[XPERIA X10 General] Andrewtst:
I read that article before, I doubt people not looking the phone by stick to the face or via magnifier.

I own Samsung OMNIA II and Nexus One, I can tell the different between LCD and LED. It is not as what the article said that bad low res, the PenTile tech. might not full res in terms of calculation, but this does't matter, it still looks gorgeous and sharpen.

See it yourself rather than believing those too technical article.
[XPERIA X10 General] hampan:
Each person has its own preferences, but to me the PenTile matrix shows its ugly face instantly.

I do own a N1 as well, and I don't need a magnifying glass to determine that text looks much more jaggy on the N1, reminiscent of a CRT in mini format.

And while on the subject of color, yes - the N1 has heaps of color, in fact it has so much color that it's totally over-saturated, it's like looking at a tv with the color set to max which doesn't appeal to me.

The point is what's better for some people are not interpreted by others as better, it's totally subjective especially when talking about visuals, but the article has its point.

This doesn't make the N1 bad, but AMOLED is not the savior of mankind.

Try the phone in real life and make up your mind yourself is the only real tip anyone can give.
[XPERIA X10 General] afhstingray:
yea, you can immediately see the difference. when i compared the N1 to my touch HD i noticed the fonts were not as sharp. I thought this was due to some antialiasing algorithms that the N1 was using but then i read the article and found out it was really the physical screen
[XPERIA X10 General] Andrewtst:
No comment and not going to argue here. I agree that it is personal preferences.

For me since my 1st LED phone - Samsung S8300, then OMNIA II and now Nexus One, I can't stand any longer for phone that still using LCD, even my laptop also LED. Now I am waiting a good LED panel for replacing my home PC LCD panel as well.

LED rock and all the way for LED now :)

For me, it is as sharp as LCD with better color balance, vivid, contrast and true black. All this is important for me and LED is future definately.
[XPERIA X10 General] jackstuard:
What I don't like in X10 is the leak of second mic, and leak of multi touch, I saw a solution fro SE that is touch the screen and slide up and down, is good, I like the idea... so I cannot consider multi touch anymore. For me this is the most beautiful one.

Desire is good, htc sense looks good, however doesn't have like nexus one possibility to have a dock station, no second mic (I have a lot of friends saying how valuable is this sec mic).

H1 is my choice now, however I'm studying this AMOLED screen that some people like, other dislike..

So difficult to choose one!
[XPERIA X10 General] krabman:
Just a small point but color accuracy is not subjective and the ideal is to be an accurate representation of the source material. Nothing added, nothing taken away. What you like is a differerent subject all together.
[XPERIA X10 General] afhstingray:
the LED screen on your laptop is different from the one on the phone. Its a LCD display that is LED backlit, not an AMOLED display.

most people wont notice the issues with the N1's screen, just those upgrading from WVGA devices.

definitely its down to personal preference. for videos, photos, pentile AMOLED wins hands down. For text heavy use such as web browsing, IM, Documents, it can get a bit irritating.
[XPERIA X10 General] bclope:
The BT that comes with the standard rom of N1 connects and disconnects randomly from the car audio. I've tested it in a BMW 73516 bluetooth and in a parrot MK9000i bluetooth and both are disastrous. For instance the agenda keeps sinchronizing all time. You get a call but it is not forwarded to the BT...you get desperated. I've been looking for patches fixes or anything in the internet and nothing fixes the problem

The desiree rom (I gave up trying at alpha 17) did not correct the problem, it got worst. I mean the phone in general got better not the BT problem, just to clarify mi last post). Actually they say BT is one of the things not working fine.

Finally I flashed cyanogen and now "more or less" works but BT still has similar issues as with the stock rom.
[XPERIA X10 General] Andrewtst:
I know laptop is LCD with LED backlit. But it still having similar quality of LED just not perfect, but at least is far better than LCD.

I don't know why people saying having difficulties on wording, I see no problem here and the wording is sharpen, clearance than LCD in any term for me.

Maybe over highest brightness setup, I setup all mine always as 40% (which is default value for most manufacture setup) and it is bright enough and suite me. I don't use auto brightness as I hate the way it auto adjust.

As I said b4 Nexus is not my 1st LED phone, so I can notice the issue, I do compare with OMNIA II quality, Nexus One do display image slightly (just slighty) less sharpen than the OMNIA II, but they is no issue on the wording at all. S8300 is not WVGA, it is only 240 x 400.
[XPERIA X10 General] afhstingray:
Have you ever seen a CCFL IPS LCD display? or even a 2CCFL TN display? They both murder the LED backlit display in your laptop. Dont compare your laptop LED backlit panel to an AMOLED panel. Its like comparing a aircraft carrier and a speedboat.

The omnia II has an AMOLED display as well. Its not as "popular" as the N1 in the press, because it dosent have as big a story for reporters to report on compared to the N1. Whether or not the AMOLED display in the omnia II uses a pentile matrix or not, i dont know.

But i suspect it does since one of the theories behind the use of a pentile matrix is the short lifespan of the blue subpixels in AMOLED displays. Not to mention samsung is the supplier of the AMOLED displays in the N1 and HTC Desire. The pentile matrix helps mitigate this at the trade off of a lower effective resolution.

so if you're comparing the N1 to an omnia II, chances are you're comparing two displays whose effective resolutions are BOTH below true WVGA. Compare it to a touch HD or any other TFT LCD WVGA device and you'll see a difference.
[XPERIA X10 General] Andrewtst:
1. Since when I compared Laptop LED with AMOLED. I just said at least it still better. Did CCFL IPS LCD use before in laptop? I doubt not.

2. I believe at the moment all AMOLED by Samsung use pentile, it is not a big deal so huge different on it.

3. Plenty of same resolution WVGA TFT LCD I seen before, included HD (HD screen is crap, you also can included it), or even HTC HD2, Xperia X2, LG Chocolate BL40 and etc. I still prefer AMOLED.

My next target phone will be base on Super AMOLED. ;)

S-AMOLED can considered 2nd generation of AMOLED already, so sorry I won't step back using TFT LCD. More and more devices is using AMOLED and it is a go for them.
[XPERIA X10 General] krabman:
The screens for these devices is the clearpad 2000 made by Synaptics. You can scope it out here ----> http://www.synaptics.com/solutions/products/clearpad#benefits-2000
[XPERIA X10 General] afhstingray:
AFAIK only the SUPER-AMOLED display integrates the touch sensitive panel, the normal AMOLED display dosent integrate it. Synaptics makes the touch layer, not the actual display layer. The AMOLED display is made by samsung

andrew: There are quite a few laptops using CCFL IPS displays. For example the thinkpads in my office. I'm not asking you to go back to TFT LCD, or denying that the future is definitely AMOLED. What i'm trying to say is, this first generation of 3.7" AMOLED displays are not perfect, and the resolution might be an issue for people. The colours certainly are better on AMOLED displays, and thats great for people who are heavy on photos/videos, and people who are upgrading from HVGA or QVGA devices will definitely be satisfied.

This thread after all is about comparing the various android phones on the market to the X10, and each device has its pros and cons. I'm particularly focussed on the screen issue because thats the most important issue for me, much more important than multi touch.
[XPERIA X10 General] krabman:
Most everything I know about these displays I learned in the last few weeks as I was trying to figure out what exactly the X10 was capable of in terms of multi touch and I absorbed a lot of info. My understanding was the touch sensor goes over a tft lcd but is integrated in amoled and super amoled displays. I went back and had a look see and you have it correct, the sensor is seperate in the nexus one with the display being sammy and the sensor synaptics. Thanks for setting me straight.
[HD2 General] polstein:
So far, mostly a positive experience switching from my HTC Advantage. As expected, the capacitive thing will take a few days/weeks to adjust to, but I've found that a light touch does wonders.

Thanks to the xda-people & searching, I've found solutions to many problems I had (like tcpmp crashing till I got the correct cab). A do have a small list I'm looking for help on that I have not found a solution for.

(if I missed it in searching, sorry - please send me a link!)

- Automatic Phone profiles. I used to use SPB's Phone Suite, which isn't compatible with 6.5. I tried Phoneweaver last night and it worked very well - but is crashing all over the place today. Just sent them an email. Is anyone using an automatic volume adjuster with no problems?

- Speaking of crashing, getting the &*@%& battery lid off is a problem. Probably needs to work in a bit, but I can't do it without a mini-flat screwdrive, and I already put one scrach into the back of the case :( They just couldn't put it someone more accessible?

- Mentioned in another thread, but I can't seem to find any software that remaps any of the buttons (especially volume buttons). I've read that Voldpad & AEButtons work for other people, but nothing working here yet.

- My other big crashing problems seems centered around contacts. Adding them to my favorites is causing lock-ups about half the time, but when I reboot the changes took. Editing a contact (say adding a ring-tone) is also locking up the phone when I save/go back.

- Synching: probably related to contacts above. 1st synch works well. Afterwords, it is getting hung on contacts as well. If I delete the partnership is synch ok again the first time.

I think that's my big ones for now. I'm only 1 day in, and yesterday was pretty busy so I hope to have more time today to do some installs & play more.

Thanks for any help!!

Phil

PS - I didn't install any Freecell or Sudoku yet. I'm used to VGA. Anyone have a recommendation on ones that work very well with the HD2 (I didn't even google this yet, but thought I'd ask)
[HD2 General] Gellenole:
I hated the battery cover, until I found an easy way of lifting it up without tools.

use your right hand, and place your index finger to leverage the phone (face down) at the bottom of the phone near your buttons. (make sure you grip the back of the phone too just in case it tends to fly off)

use your left hand and have the thumb push up against the battery cover on the side with the indent in it. you should be able to lift your battery cover off without problems.

after 1-2 tries, it should be easier to lift off. I like the security knowing that it's not going to fall off, but it's really tight to get off at 1st.
[HD2 General] polstein:
Sounds similar to the video I saw on youtube. Time permitting, I plan on opening & closing the lid many times today (using screwdriver if needed) to loosen it up so I can take it off when needed.

----

In other news, I'm not using a screen-protector (yet) - need to read the thread on the protectors. I'm not too worried about scratches, but the fingerprint on the screen is worse then I thought it would be.

I'm carrying around a small microfiber now. Might have to find a small one in a sleeve or something to carry permanently. I have glasses, so I probably should have one handy anyway.

---

Next, a minor problem with Resco Pocket Player that I just read a solution to, but thought I'd post it for anyone else - you can't click on the screen to change settings in options. To get around it, bring up a keyboard with arrows & use those and enter keys instead.

--------

Finally - on the Sense Photo & Music tabs - is there an easy way I'm missing to specify and/or limit directories to look at? For now, I disabled both tabs in favor of Resco Photo Manager & Conduits Pocket Player. I did read about a hack to make Resco Photo work in sense, but haven't tried it yet.

I'm currently reading on the Tmobile US forums about the problems with Messaging causing problems (although I've only seen it with Contacts so far). But I don't use email messaging much, just SMS (don't know if it's the same subsystem).

Anyway, going to try the suggestions of switching from HTC messaging to standing messaging (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=556614) and see that is my contacts/synch problem. I wanted to post it in case any lurkers have a similar problem. Will try to post later if this helps.
[HD2 General] lbhocky19:
yes sense messaging causes lots of freezes if you get lots of texts saved and having swype enabled agravates the problem.

ive had no issues anywhere else or with contacts
[HD2 General] cw-data:
As for your last point: At least on the Photo tab, you can specify the Folder shown up: Open up HTC Album and go to the folder you want. Then hit Menu and select as Favorite. Then this folder will only be shown in Photo tab.
[HD2 General] polstein:
Just saw this: http://pocketnow.com/software-1/bug-hd2s-sense-may-freeze-with-contact-favorites

Sure enough, one of my favorites (ie, my wife) has a lot of notes & doesn't have the xml stuff. Will try the fix tomorrow.
[HD2 General] HectikDroid:
auto speaker?

anyone else having their speaker turn on automatically during a phone call
[HD2 General] polstein:
That is one I'm not having, HectikDroid.

I did reply to another thread about calls that went straight to voice mail.

Still not connecting to weather serivce either (yet another thread with little replies).

Actually, most frustrating part is trying to find out if others are having similar problems or it's it me (either bad phone or accidental messed up setting or the like).

Glad to see pocketnow posting about the big contact problem I had.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
Ok, that question has been answered so I will now hijack this thread with another serious question so as not to start another one.

Pardon my ignorance...

When you flash a recovery image does it run from the sdcard or the phone's drive?

I'm wondering for 2 reasons:

I wonder if you could delete the .img from the sdcard and still boot into recovery.

If it DOES run from the phone then would it be possible for the root exploit we have now to be fixed? And block us from booting into recovery, re-rooting, restoring nandroids basically giving us a clean phone whether we like it or not.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] centran:
It "flashes" the image meaning it overwrites what is on the phone. So it does not run the sdcard. The Android OS uses a bunch of partitions that do different stuff(boots the phone, recovery, main OS). What you are doing when you flash something(or run an "update"/ROM flash) is it wipes that partition clean and then plops the new image in there.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
AHHH, Thank you.

So the phones physical memory has a recovery partition, hence the command: flash_image "RECOVERY" rec-RA-blahblah.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subliminalurge:
Yep. I have a second sd card that I use just for nandroid backups. No recovery image on the card and no problem booting into recovery console.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddieroger:
I'm slackjawed with how smart that is, and mad at myself for not thinking the same thing. Consider yourself copied.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danaff37:
There are some widgets that mimic sense widgets... beautiful widgets for the home app including full screen weather animations, pure messenger for the sms widget, and pure grid calendar for the calendar. I can't seem to find a decent email widget, however.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subliminalurge:
Not so much smart as "holy crap! these backups are using up my whole card!". :) Then I noticed I had a spare 2gb micro-sd just collecting dust, so..... Now I keep the spare card in my wallet so I can get back to normal if I mess something up while I'm away from a computer. I try to do a backup every morning, and occasionally delete old ones...

Ok, I have searched the Rhodium section and XDA in general and I get pages and pages of results, so here goes....

Any idea how I can totally remove the envelopes on the email preview on a stock 6.5 please?

I have been using the latest Energy ROM but had a couple of issues that I couldnt sort and had to go back to stock, but I really loved that feature as I didn't need to open up most emails I could just read them on the preview screen.

Is it an addon or part of the latest Touchflo ?

The email tab in that post gave me garbled graphics on the Tilt2. The email paper graphics looked fine, albeit kind of laggy, but the slider was all messed up and the side tabs for the email accounts only showed white boxes. Not surprisingly, this really is designed for the stock HTC ROM only. Fortunately, it uninstalls easily and leaves no problems in its wake.
