The HTC Desire released not long ago but the cradle for this model also released.

http://www.emobile-accessories.com/products_cradle_htc_desire.html
[Desire Accessories] flogger:
I don't think they were made for Desire.

I've been reading about these two cradles and they are originally for Nexus one. Nevertheless, they do fit for Desire without problem.
[Desire Accessories] tonyfung820:
They put a video on youtube showing the HTC Desire cradle. I think it's real product for HTC Desire.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kj2M-fSl6U8
[Desire Accessories] bridgstfer:
yes but where can you purchase - is this website trying to sell them? If so they are not doing a very good job!
[Desire Accessories] flogger:
You can buy them ate mobilefun.

Here the links to two different cradles:

Does the N1 cradle work with the Desire ?

This for instance : ww w.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.34205
[Desire Accessories] quicksite:
Thanks for posting this: Just to help, here's the picture from site, plus a screen I grabbed and enlarged from youtube video to try to show the USB connector. But the video below shows it connecting solidly, so it would be hard to believe it is not the correct microUSB connector.

*EDIT: I just noticed a slight discrepancy between the youtube demo and the "for sale" pictured item.

In the first picture, you see the front edge of the cradle protrudes a little bit differently than what we see in the video-still. The video-still shows a fully open, smooth edge, without the protrusion. I am not familiar with the Nexus One, but since someone said these are adapted from what was being sold for the Nexus One, which picture is correct? The picture on the left suggests more stabilization and snugger fit preventing phone tip-over... so was it designed for the Desire's button's? I don't know. Someone here would know the differences between the N1 exactly

.

Well it looks like the original picture posted above is the incorrect one, a prototype, and that the video is correct --- because it more closely matches the images seen on the actual order pages for buying the product. However, there is still a difference:

The 2 above photos show a silver trim to the unit; the photo below has no trim. (personally, I would prefer the black-only because I am always a bit skeptical of inexpensive plastic products with silver trim. In my experience, the silver almost always cracks off or scratches off very quickly, and then looks even cheaper...)

Apparently not because N1 -- i think -- uses MINI-usb whereas the Desire uses MICRO-usb
[Desire Accessories] villiankknd:
should be Yes, from the google.com/phone technical specifications, it says "[10] Micro USB port"

so yes, newer android phones are equipped with micro usb ports, because they made it a standard..

correct me if i am wrong..i remember i saw it somewhere..
[Desire Accessories] 513:
Right, MicroUSB becomes European standard in 2010.
[Desire Accessories] cardiak:
I recieved one of these, its not flush at all mate, the unit wobbles like crazy in that dock, sent it back. AVOID.
[Desire Accessories] catdog:
I bought one and it is really only suitable for charging, would not use the phone while docked.

Plus Desire charges at a full rate only when using the attached USB cable and not through the mini USB socket. I have modded mine by replacing one wrong component inside and adding a dummy plug with data pins shorted to the attached USB cable so it charges fine using the mini USB too now.
[Desire Accessories] jpwjpw123:
I got one of these:

Item 199195 at expansys (can't post links on here yet)

Not too bad for the price. Phone fits in it well and charges/syncs fine.

Hello,

I'm developing a small application working with PIM. I can't find a simple way to enumerate PIM categories (or Groups as called in Manila). The only way I found is to go through all appointments, contacts and tasks and read categories from its property Categories. This works, but it is really uneffective way how to do this. Can you please suggest the better solution?

[General Topics] HARRY02:
Hi,

From an application I start, using a shell statement, GoogleMaps.exe on my HTC with a KML file as parameter. This file contains only one placemark. Google Maps version 4.0.0 (#81). This works fine.

The statement concerned is:Shell("\Opslagkaart\Programmabestanden\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps.exe","-KML_FILE " & Chr(34)& \Opslagkaart\OnePOI\One.kml & Chr(34))

"Opslagkaart" is dutch for "Storage Card", "Programmabestanden" is dutch for "Program Files", Chr(34) is the ASCII code for the " character.

Now I want to control the zoom level for the initial display of the map around this placemark. By default the zoom level is too high to be practical.

Can somebody tell me how to realize that, either as an extra parameter in the command line, or as additional data in the kml file?

Please, give the exact coding required as I did many efforts without result.

Harry

On my Desire when I went to check what was using my battery the most it showed the Android system is using 91% of it...anyway to decrease it? Or whats causing it to be so high? I've got no apps running in the background or anything other than weather and stuff. I've got everything to be sync manually other than the weather.
[Desire General] Aitese:
Your battery is going to get used no matter what. Most of the time your phone isn't doing anything so it stands to reason that the system sitting idle will use the most battery power. If you played a video on repeat for a couple of hours , that would use up the battery instead...
[Desire General] saayinla:
perhaps you dont understand, at that particular point out of 100% battery usage 91% goes to the system which sounds right to me as you said all other programs are not running.... another example its just like having a fan , a computer and a microwave... if he pc was off and the fan was running....at the point 100% of electricity usage would go to the fan but if yoy switch on sometging else..then the % changes...
[Desire General] itani15:
Thanks everyone1
[Desire General] Stephen2010:
Wrong!

No because that is why their is a category for cell standby and phone idle....

If you optimise your phone settings, you will get...

15h 28m 23s since unplugged

cell standby 38%

phone idle 37%

android system 12%

Obviously with heavy usage then you'll find that android system is higher, however generally if you spend less time using it and more time that it is on idle then android system will be less than cell standy and phone idle.

P.S: This is with background syncing on every hour.

[Desire General] Stephen2010:
Bit territorial over the forum much?

Not that it is your business but I just got a Android phone and I wanted to clairfy for people who, like me, had to research how to get the best usage out of the battery.

Maybe stick to the topic of the forum posts rather than telling people what to do?

I think so.

Kindest regards,

Stephen.
[Desire General] allnutts:
That's great info Stephen! My optimus 3d is running at 70+% android system after sitting idle for 6 hours ... and then after 30 mins of internet / Google+/Facebook Its about the same... even display is only at 4% and Idle is low too.

Any suggestions of what system tweaks will improve my battery life!? :-/ I just downloaded System panel in the hope it will help too!
[Desire General] garreh:
Biggest drain in battery is network usage, so just make your apps sync less often, enable the power control widget and toggle network data on/off when you don't need it.
[Desire General] erklat:
Screen is the biggest consumer hands down. If your radio fits well with your carrier you would get less than a 1%/hour with some apps syncing. And Google maps somehow is the devil itself in 2.3 if Latitude is enabled.

Nice thread revival btw :D

Cut and Paste design

Android

-------

Please correct me if I'm wrong, my understanding is that the cut and paste design is a little inconsistent depending on the OEM. I've personally played with a Samsung Galaxy, and noted two different cut and paste design:

1) Press and hold. Unfortunately, there is no magnifying glass pop up to indicate the position of the cursor. You have then to use the joystick(not sure if this is what they call it) to position it.

2) I vaguely remember at other place, method 1 is not supported. You have to use the hardware button , and select an item there in order to do copy and paste.

Recently, I had a chance to look at a video showing the cut and paste in one of the HTC Android phones, and noted a third method, very similar to iPhone, but the magnifying glass is square rather than round.

I also got the impression that copy and paste is not supported on non-enterable field. I'm seeking users with expertise to correct/enhance this piece of information.

Edit: See post #71 for some more precise description on how cut and paste works in Android, described by dsymbol.

iPhone

------

Press and hold will provide the handle to select the text for copying. This pretty much work across all the places, including email, webpages, on both enterable and non-enterable fields.

Edit: However, there ARE also some rare exceptions where inconsistencies have been found, mainly arising from software created before iPhone introduced cut and paste in version 3.0 I think. An example that comes to my mind is an office document application called QuickOffice, which was around prior to OS3.0 I think. Here, to select text in the word document, instead of holding your finger down, you have to double tap to reveal the handle for text selection, you then press an icon at the bottom to copy or cut. This is quite different from the usual methods used by applications using the Apple's standard API. Most office documents applications including Office2 (It is actually Office square, with a little 2 at the top right of the word Office) and Document to Go are using the familiar cut and paste used everywhere else.

Multimedia capability

A. Using hardware button to start/pause/skip/repeat song and change volume without headset

- iPhone: Yes, using a Cydia application called VolumeButton Extender

- Android: hardware button can only control volume and not pause/play/skip/repeat.

B. Using supplied headset to start/pause/skip/repeat song and control volume

- iPhone: Yes.

- Android: It can start/pause/skip/repeat with the phone in the pocket, but any volume change must be done on the device itself.

C: Volume change increment:

- iPhone: 16 volume increment, allowing you have have the volume closest to your need, e.g, listening music while trying to get to sleep without being kept awake.

- Android: 8 only, therefore offering less precise volume level for the user. Not sure if this is device specific or generic across all Android phones.

D: Playlist combining audio and video files and playing video files with phone shut off.

- iPhone: Yes. In order to play video with screen completely shut off, switch off the phone, and on the lock screen start the music player, then switch off.

- Android: It is possible to play music video with the screen shut off, but you cannot combine video and audio in the playlist. In fact the default music player does not play video - only audio.

I invite Android users to help to beef up or correct information pertaining to rooted Android phone's capabilities.

Battery life and design

A. Removable battary - This is something that I cherish quite a lot during my winmo days. I liked the ability to carry along spare battaries before I board the plane for a long trip for example, where power source is an issue.

Android - YES!

iPhone - No. There are alternative portable power packs but they tend to make the phone bulkier. There are also portable chargers, but these solution is just not as good as having user replaceable battaries.
[General Topics] eaglesteve:
File Manager and Access

A. File Manager

iPhone:

Using an application like iFile from Cydia, users could see all the directories and subdirectories, and files in all directories. It also allows the files to be copied, deleted, moved. Clicking on a picture would display the picture, clicking on a music file will play the music file.

However, if you're trying to do a file attachment on a forum like here, it cannot be done.

Android: Same weakness due to not having a native file manager???

B. Ability for all applications to use the same directory?

iPhone:

Generally there is no such capability, although there are exception (e.g. The music player dTune could play music files downloaded with the Music Meow application). Therefore, if I have more than one spreadsheet programs in an iPhone, these different applications could not update the same spreadsheet file because the file has to be stored in the application's own directory. iFile of course could access any directory and display files in any directory.

Android:

Any such limitation? Which are some of the popular spreadsheet applications for example? Could you specify the location of the saved files to be anywhere?
[General Topics] eaglesteve:
Side loading of applications

Sideloading allows users to install programs which were not from the officially sactioned market place:

Android: - Yes.

iPhone - Yes. Non-programmer type users could install applications from the Cydia store. These are often program that Apple won't approve, but could also contain applications removed from the App Store such as porn applications.

Multimedia capabilities

A. Video playback test.

I invite anyone to provide links of videos for testing purposes to compare the two phone's playback capability.

For now, I would like to get you guys to refer to this thread and see if the video play by just clicking on the link. If not, are you able to download it and play smoothly, without pause or frame loss? Without the audio/video going out of sync? Details about this video is in post #7. The file is made for the screen resolution of HD2.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=645610

iPhone:

Yes. Without conversion, it plays smoothly although the video is not made for the iPhone screen resolution.

See youtube videos

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAGqKYlSnHA - this is playing after downloading the file

Here is the video test when played directly rather than downloded first.

Did I miss something or there's nothing about, say, business capabilities - Exchange and Office support? Don't know how to label the post, but here's the question:

On the iPhone, I know there are office package(s) available, but here's what I want to know - how do you transfer files there? Do you get a documents folder or do you need to look for a directory with one of those cryptic names? Also, how does it handle email attachments? Can I save a ppt I receive for later use in the office program?

With regard to Exchange - can I have full support that will include push for Tasks, Email, Calendar and Contacts? Not push for the latter three and manual sync for Tasks?

Best GPS software

iPhone:

Probably no single vendor can justifiably claim that they have the best GPS in every country. TomTom is the best in Australia (I'll justify that assessment later), but it is probably not as good in say Navigon in US, if we base it on sales statistics. The major choices are:

TomTom

Navigon

iGO

NDrive

Sygic

M6 (which I understand is the best in Asean)

Copilot

Each user may have a different idea of what constitute the best. Some value live traffics, some speed warning, some completeness of road speed information for speed monitoring, some warning upon approaching schools, some the ability to perform google search in addition to POI search, some 3D realistic view, some music control within the application, some intelligent routing that considers traffic congestions among other things, some text to speech, some multitouch user interface for map zooming in and out, some completeness of safety camera database, some map currency.

In Australia, my own preference is TomTom. It has extremely nice user interface, google search , very complete speed information for all roads, map is quite up to date for most places, it incorporates pinch and zoom, warn you when appraoching safety camera and when you overspeed, allows easy control of music without leaving the application, has 3D realistic view for major highway exits and intersections, decent text to speech option. After receiving phone calls, it automatically resume with the most up-to-seconds GPS coordinate and location without waiting for signal. If the call is terminated by the other party there is no need to touch the phone for the resume to be completed.

Sygic also uses the same map, but the UI is bad and reminds me of the winmo style, although the UI is still way better than winmo type of GPS.

Navigon, Copilot, iGo, NDrive all uses maps with rather incomplete speed information in Australia.

Android GPS ??

Which is the best in Australia and what can it do?
[General Topics] charnsingh_online:
Ok so here is my verdict on iPhone Vs ANDROID

When iPhone was release i was an Apple fanboy form that very time, i paid heavily for iPhones, they were like life to me, i have every iPhone to date and the first android i got was the G1, on using it i could only say one thing, it is the future and it is proved itself day by day

Experiences

1. Jailbroken iPhone

I love how u can do almost anything but nothing in the iPhone, only thing an iPhone drools over is apps and apps and nothing else. iPhone has an edge over android in just apps. For everything else u are crippled and for anything u want to do u ought to have a computer. Battery life is not what i would love and it has a boring interface good enough for 50 year old person who can just understand to dialer and dial

Android

Android is still immature, one thing u would hate about android is that it updates acc. to devices, it will add a feature only when a device is made to have the feature. other things Android is the most customizable OS ever made in the history of smartphones and mobiles. It has a clean interface if u understand it and by far the most efficient in everything it does. You shouldnt be surprised when it updates itself to become more efficient. iPhone revolutionized the designing but android revolutionized software. Android what i say is a complete OS, it just like a mini computer, to use it u dont need to have a computer, u can do everything on the phone itself, u want to add some music, videos anything do it on the phone itself, u want to update, download do it on the phone itself and it is robust enough to even create websites, i created my website using my android phone and nothing else, Android has endless possibilities.

Multimedia-

u dont have to be tied to computer to do anything on android. U can use anything 3rd party if u dont like stock, 3rd party has the ability to add more stuff which is not in stock. onlu con is that u have no equalizer.

It can play more formats than iPhone, u dont need to convert and sync music, u r not tied to use the default music player. The gallery is the best one around.

Android has the most user friendly interface, what u need most is on the desktop others in the drawer. In iPhone u have to arrange every app u install, u can just move in one way, what u have on front is the same old apps icons, android u have icons, widgets and more.

iPhone has one prop and that is app android has one con that is less apps thats it. everything is editable if u r rooted, u can edit anything u want, u have the source to the platform, u can build one urself, if u know coding u can add everything and anything to it

So Android is gonna have more apps in some time and iPhone will age sooner than intended. Comparing Rooted Android to iPhone is like comparing Gold to Brick. As i already told with ur android being rooted u can add any feature urself by editing directly in the source code, and iPhone u r stuck with Cydia developers who can change how the iPhone OS functions but can only add features
