but I was just comparing this to an iPhone 3g yesterday and they both seemed the same to me. scrolling between homescreens was equally choppy (or lack there of, imo). or is the iPhone 3gs improved over the 3g? either way I think its a rather small complaint.

[Nexus One General] h2opoloplyr_11:
well the 3gs is almost twice as fast as the 3g (if im not mistaken). so there is a difference between the two. i used to compare my 3gs to my moms 3g and would tell her she needs to upgrade. LOL

and the 3gs is smoother than both n1 and 3g scrolling wise. Im sure itll be a software fix down the line.

This is a stupid thread I know, but I simply wanted to share the fact that I was easily able to alter the color of the galaxy live wallpaper, making it red and pinkish, instead of the boring purple and white. I thought it looked kind of cool, so I wanted to share a picture of it.

how to flash G1 japan to english?
[Nexus One General] sn95chico:
So i read all the forums on here and the HD2 guys are talking S*** on the n1 so what do you think about the HD2 and why do you think the nexous one is better.

The funny thing is they are all wanting to flash android on there phones

the only reason the Hd2 is even selling is you can buy it in a store unlike the n1 and it has sins U.i
[Nexus One General] grimmjaw:
Let them say what they want. I've played with an HD2 and its a really good device but i prefer my N1 because of android :) Although that Evo is looking MIGHTY delicious :D. I could care less if the HD2 is outselling the N1. The iphone is outselling everything but that doesnt make it a better device ;)
[Nexus One General] JoshHart:
Yeah, I think the HD2 could be an awesome phone if it ran Android, but with WinMo...no thanks. I used to be a WinMo fan before Android came around but there's no way I could go back now, even with Sense trying to hide it.
[Nexus One General] azalex86:
I have both and am a LONG time windows mobile user....

With that being said, I prefer and regularly use the N1.

I love the screen size on the HD2, and I like the design of the phone more (except when holding it while actually using it as a phone...the N1 is much more comfortable obviously), but when it comes to software and use, the N1 has it beat. Both the HD2 and the N1 have custom roms....if I had to compare the two stock vs stock, they'd be a little closer to equal. I love the sense interface, so having the Desire ROM helped quite a bit. My primary e-mail addresses are hosted through Gmail, and I use that for syncing contacts, and calendar. For multimedia, the Pandora, Last.fm, and slacker apps are much better on the N1, as are the social apps; I'm still looking for an app similar to TCPMP for Android. QuickOffice is sufficient for my business needs as well.

Took around a week to get use to navigating and controlling Android after years of using WM & PPC. I miss some basic functions like using AEButtonPlus and TaskFacade for quick and easy task switching, but I just recently installed TaskOS and it's great...too bad it doesn't have an exposé like interface.

BOTH have obnoxious screen accuracy issues. The HD2 has occasional hiccups and spikes, while the N1 registers presses WAY off from where you press your finger until you turn off the screen, then back on again. HTC, upgrade the damn clearpad.
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
I checked out the HD2 at the T-Mobile store.

MASSIVE screen is all I thought, personally I wouldn't want to carry it around. The n1 is a little on the big side already for me.
[Nexus One General] hiddengopher:
I had my HD2 for about 1-2 weeks and loved it the first day.

Then I saw the ugly side of winmo...I traded it for a nexus and I'm happier than ever.
[Hero CDMA General] Avalaunchmods:
Get your extra underwear ready before you click

thats crazy. i know people hate the pre but the web OS is powerful. if HTC comes out in the end...AndrowebOS, WebdroidOS

hehehehe.
[Hero CDMA General] danknee:
LOL, could get interesting. You think HTC would keep making handsets for other operating systems if they acquired Palm?..big IF
[Hero CDMA General] Rootwind:
I would still rather see Google buy Palm.

HTC doesn't have enough software clout to promote WebOS app development on it's own.
[Hero CDMA General] Avalaunchmods:
HTC is a very very powerful company. as someone in comments stated, they could release 3 different OS's on one phone, such as the EVO, and keep costs down and customers happy.

If they did purchase and they did revolutionize the market by doing 3 OS's then life would be complete. also the big push factor is the fact that HTC knows windowsmobile better than windows, and webos and android are both linux based. and the japs know linux. lol and HTC knows hardware. so google and htc could easily join to have drivers for all.
[Hero CDMA General] danknee:
A Google buy, plus taking WebOS to open source would be cool.
[Hero CDMA General] atoz350:
The scarier thought is all of those patents that they will inherit...
[Hero CDMA General] aangrywombat:
Really hoping HTC grabs them :)
[Hero CDMA General] Nanan00:
If the patent ownership of Palm goes with the sale well, that alone would likely be worth more then the rest of the company.
[Hero CDMA General] bob2300nx:
I agree with this. I mean look at how slow they are with htc sense. I think google is alot more powerful and would likely incorporate things from palm into their builds.
[Hero CDMA General] yellowbean:
I would love to see some WebOS hotness get incorporated into Android, but I highly doubt Google will be going that route. If HTC can make this acquisition happen and use Palm's patent portfolio to crush Apple's BS lawsuit, that seems like the best case scenario.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
-IF- HTC did buy, it would be pretty cool. WebOS is powerful, but implemented poorly on...decrepit...hardware. Not only would HTC be able to add a little

"umph" so to speak, but also have a new bag of patents to play with...take that Apple. :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA General] subliminalurge:
Actaully, I see little reason for any buyer to continue WebOS as a complete platform. The smartest thing to do with it, from HTCs position, would be to ditch the underlying OS and port the interface to run on top of Android (ditching Sense in the process). Since both WebOS and Android are Linux-based, it shouldn't be an overly difficult port.

WebOS interface + Android app catalog + badass HTC hardware == Pure Awesome.
[Hero CDMA General] pseudoremora:
Saw on this earlier today on Tech Buzz.

This is a win, win situation for Google and HTC, mainly because HTC has really adopted the Android OS and has done the most with it. Adding WebOS into the mix of all great things HTC already offers (Hardware and Software) would only further the amazing products we're hoping to see from Google and it's manufacturers, namely HTC.

Android needs this and there are definitely some key things that both Google and HTC can take away from WebOS that would give the consumer a better user experience with their phones.

However, at the end of the day -- HTC is most likely looking into acquiring Palm because of the numerous patents Palm has. For me... anything Google and its manufacturers do to further progress the use of Android is a good thing. Plus, I'd love to see HTC to tell Apple to go **** themselves after they acquire Palm. Apple's tried that before with Palm and got *****-slapped... wouldn't mind seeing that happen for HTC as well.:rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA General] bng06:
This is insane, I will be keeping an eye on this as it will be interesting to see who acquires Palm. It is smart for the CEO to make the decision to sale the company, Google, Apple and Microsoft competition is cut throat, they don't just rely on their phone OS business they have many other sources of income to keep them afloat.
[Hero CDMA General] jlem26:
Since, as you pointed out, WebOS is linux based this is more than likely what would happen. They will not discard TouchFlo (Sense) but they will now own two of the most popular interfaces for Android. I have never owned a WinMo phone myself, but the only appealing thing about the nice ones is the TouchFlo interface that makes it feel like you are not running WinMo. I would imagine for the vast majority of Joe User out there that having a sexy/powerful phone made by HTC, sporting WebOS and backed by the Android Market would be a dream come true. Could you imagine having later this year an EVO that could run vanilla Android, Sense UI and WebOS? This would be a game changer IMO. HTC could become the most powerful phone maker out there almost overnight when you include those patents.
[Hero CDMA General] tejasrichard:
IF the patents to with the sale...though, if I am in HTC's shoes, I'd certainly do everything I could to make sure that happened.
[Hero CDMA General] subliminalurge:
I've had a few and never will again. The only thing worse than WinMo is WinMo "Smartphone Edition" (the stripped down version for non touchscreen phones). When I had a Samsung Blackjack just playing a simple music file was such a tedious process I ended up just buying a new iPod....

Even with the "real" WinMo, I always felt like they were just trying to take the standard Windows desktop interface and cram it onto a tiny screen. Quite possibly the least user friendly interface design I've seen in my life. They'd have been better off just putting in a qwerty keyboard, a DOS command line, and calling it done.

I keep hearing that WinMo 7 is a major step in the right direction, but unless things go horribly wrong in the Android world, I can't think of any real reason to give WinMo another chance at this point. (Particularly since I'm already accumulating quite an investment in Android apps.)

As for HTC keeping both the Sense and WebOS UIs? I don't see it as being a great move. I use sense, and I like it, but in the end it's little more than eye candy. WebOS could bring the eye candy PLUS useful functionality. I'd rather see them go 100% that route than split their resources between the two platforms (and end up doing a half-assed job with each)...

Just one guy's opinion... :)
[Hero CDMA General] Zexter:
We've known they were going to be bought for quite some time. I was actually eligible for an upgrade. Picked the Pixi. Went back the next week to change that to the Pre. I loved it. Especially the fact you can overclock the processor to 800mhz. But, they were going out of business, and I was really wishing I picked an Android phone. Not many developers for WebOS anyway. So I went back to sprint again, and switched to mah Hero.

WebOS is really nice, but Android (particularly sense) is more customizable. Palm will be bought mainly for all of their patents they hold. If I bought them out. I'd buy them for the patents. Implement some of the WebOS features to my current OS. Then, let WebOS fall to the waist side. There's just simply too many mobile OS's now. Maybe if WebOS had launched before Android. It would be bigger. But it wasn't, and it's not.

This was the main reason for me even getting into the Android playing field. Because I wanted the security of knowing my phone will be getting updates in a year, and I wanted a plethora of apps. I'm happy that it happened. I love my Hero more and more everyday. So... Thank you Palm. For going out of business. You led me to the light.

It would be a huge mistake for a mobile company to buy Palm, and try to market two operating systems. I don't think we have to worry about that. Though I would imagine (like I said) some of the functions will eventually be implemented into whichever company buys them.
[Hero CDMA General] subliminalurge:
I agree. I'd go so far as to say it's outstanding.

Unfortunately, it's too little, too late. There's nothing they could do at this stage of the game that would save them.

Palm's big problem at this point is that consumers don't have enough confidence in them to buy their products, and developers don't have enough confidence in them to spend time on their platform.

I was a Palm fan for years. Owned the original PalmPilot (before it even had the US Robotics branding, and many successors over the years.

Unfortunately, PalmOS on my Treo 650 was not significantly improved compared to PalmOS on my original PalmPilot. How many years between those two products? And the most significant enhancement they had made was a color screen. The web browser was still all but unusable. Usable email required purchasing a rather pricey aftermarket app. The list goes on... After watching Palm sit stagnant all those years, getting surpassed by competition that didn't even enter the game until years after Palm owned it, I finally gave up and walked away from what was probably a $500 inventment just in *apps* for PalmOS.

When the Pre came out, I really wanted one. Even borrowed one for a few days to try out, and I think WebOS is outstanding. Unfortunately, I actually *use* my smartphones, so I need a platform that I can feel confident about making a substantial investment in apps on. Palm, as a company, does not inspire that confidence, so in the end it wouldn't have mattered how phenomenal WebOS was, there's no way I was going to end up with a Pre.

I hate to say it, because I was a fan for many years, but Palm deserves to die. I just hope that WebOS doesn't disappear completely along with them. They really brought some great stuff to the table with WebOS. It's just that they needed to do it 5 years sooner....
[Hero CDMA General] danknee:
Hopefully HTC would show other companies the way before abandoning Android..

HTC Contemplates Writing Own Mobile Software (Or Buying It From Palm)

There are plenty of reasons for HTC to buy Palm, but the realization that it needs to stop relying on outside companies to provide software for its devices is making such purchase look all the more appealing.

Apparently HTC is currently investigating whether it should in fact stick its own operating system on the devices it produces. The company's smartphones currently run Windows Mobile and Android, but HTC is certainly no stranger to dealing with user interfaces since they've often written custom UIs over those operating systems.

For now though, HTC's CFO explains that they "continue to assess" whether or not to turn to their own operating system and have a "few conditions to justify" before making such a move. Once those conditions are met, they'd naturally need to either start writing software or buy out another company.

Convenient timing for Palm. [Bloomberg]
[Hero CDMA General] Rootwind:
Supposedly, the three remaining bidders are HTC, Lenovo, and Cisco.

I have a feeling it might be Cisco that ends up with Palm.
[Hero CDMA General] XxsydenxX:
I actually agree with you.
[Hero CDMA General] gunnyman:
I haven't seen much news about this lately. I was really pulling for either Google or HTC to pick up Palm. WebOS is awesome, even revolutionary, but damn does Palm's hardware suck.
[Hero CDMA General] danknee:
Scratch HTC off this list. Engadget is claiming Lenovo is the last big dog still looking at Palm.

[Hero CDMA General] brian2220:
i was reading somewhere today that facebook could buy palm also
[Hero CDMA General] atoz350:
I don't think Palm is going that cheap.
[Hero CDMA General] Rsoehelk:
I haven't though of that. Yeah i would rather have Google buy it than HTC Since it would be a little to late for HTC's software to top Android. So if google buys it...means.....more features for 2.2 or the next update. Androids gonna rule the world and iPhone is gonna be for White Fancy Ppl.
[Hero CDMA General] gunnyman:

[Hero CDMA General] bcnice20:

[Hero CDMA General] gunnyman:

[Android Apps and Games] GuestK00466:
Hi all.

I'm new to Android (moving over from WinMo) and I have a couple of questions;

Does anyone know if there are any reliable apps that can change wallpapers at regular intervals or according to location?

It would be great if the app could randomly select wallpapers too.

Secondly, I know that Android (on the HTC Desire/Bravo at least) allows for the creation of multiple panels, is it possible to have the phone switch to a particular panel at a particular time or location i.e. have the phone switch to a work panel at 0900 and then home again at 1800?

Thanks in advance :)
[Android Apps and Games] JAStark87:
i love this idea i want to know if anyone gots any info on this as well
[Android Apps and Games] GuestK00466:
Try WallSwitch!

Hi.

I found WallSwitch (its in the Market place. This allows random and timed wallpaper switched. It's at version 2.0.2 at the moment.

Neat little heap; stable, doesn't fall over in a heap if the images are moved.

Hope this helps.

In WP7 (they say they might fix this later), if you are using the phone for GPS navigation....and receive a phone call....the GPS software gets closed by the OS.

No, really.

discuss.

[Windows Phone 7 General] nsane:
I just don't understand what they are thinking.

Mights as well buy Palm and continue developping their OS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sethos II:
I hope HTC buy Palm and develop webOS phones instead of WP7 ones.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
If they want to lose some money then yes, buying Palm would be a good idea.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sethos II:
Lose money? I don't think so.

Palm is cheap, they get lots of patents and a great mobile OS and don't have to pay license fees to Microsoft anymore.

Better than making phones that can't even get a GPS signal while on a call.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Palm is losing money and breaking even is nowhere in sight. They have less than 12 months worth of cash to stay afloat, and their losses are accelerating. Great example of how consumers care for keeping GPS applications running while in a call. Buying them won't change that. Maintaining an OS is an expensive business, and it will be even more competitive in the nearest future, especially with Google paying everybody left and right to make and sell their phones.

Whether WP7 will sell well or not at all will depend on many things, among which multitasking is hardly a crucially important one. Making WP7 phones, on the other hand, relieves HTC of any and all present and future patent headaches forever, without buying lame ducks like Palm.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sethos II:
You forget the hardware patents.

Anyway, pretty useless discussion, since it's totally impossible to say whether they would lose or win. Apparently, they're interested in buying them, which means they apparently think that they could benefit. In any case, your statement was inappropriate, cause you don't know anything.

Back on topic, it's really sad that in 2010, we still have to deal with operating systems that can't multitask. Big fail.
[Windows Phone 7 General] htcplussony:
... This is sad man. WP7 was not exactly well thought out was it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] KevinWolf:
Thats not at all what Kindel said there. he isnt even talking about navigation and he actually CONFIRMS that such services (GPS, Navigation) should and will be able to multitask in the future(probably not at the first launch).
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
What's the difference? To say something will be added in the future is exactly the same as saying it doesn't work.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ramdroid77:
exactly. it seems the WP7 first launch version will be VERY poor in functionality. but after all I still don't get it why they just didn't "boost up" 6.5 and add Silverlight, NDA, new home screen concept (HUBS) on top of it and everything previously known is still working fine....
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
That's what they actually did. :D They just got rid of GDI (which didn't "work fine"), and replaced it with SL. The latter, being a web technology, simply doesn't have the stuff we're all missing (i.e. interaction between applications, file system access, native code etc. etc.). So getting many of these features in WP7 will require that they appear in SL and then get ported to the mobile platform I guess. Some of them (like SD card support) are dropped because they don't make sense without file system access. Others (like sideloading) are probably policy decisions which make some business sense (they need to populate the Marketplace as fast as possible, and providing alternative ways to distribute apps might not be a great idea to achieve that).
