Here's why I want the Nexus over the EVO. (sorry if this gets long...)

Okay well, the main reason I got my Hero was because of the whole Sense UI factor and everything, but I've grown to not really like it over time, hence why I'm running DarchDroid now with no Sense. I feel like I'm over having a phone with Sense, but I really dont like the total stock feel either, which is why the Nexus really fits well for me. It's not quite totally stock but its not sense either... its kinda "just right".

Another thing I'd really miss with having the EVO is the trackball... small issue? Yes, but I really enjoy having it there for the times I dont feel like touching the phone to get what I want. Also for some games its just so much nicer having the trackball to control (example: Frozen Bubble)...

I know i'd be giving up some sick features going with the Nexus over the EVO, but I feel I'd be much happier with a Nexus though.

Any other questions, feel free to ask :cool:
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
Like I've already said in the Evo forum.

Goodbye kidneys, hello Evo.
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
lol!

does the nexus offer some sort of widgets that sense doesnt? its just the basic launcher with the infinity box instead of the arrow lid. lol AND lwp, ill give you that (how long before the evo gets that?) dude ive went over the specs and over the specs the evo is superior in everyway.

and its cool to post long responses, its what im looking for. im LOOKING for a reasion to NOT get the evo.

someone sell me!
[Hero CDMA General] schizopunk:
I've seen videos of the EVO with LWPs in action.
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
LOL ITS NATIVE?!?!

cmon man i wanna see everyone here over in the evo portal eventually

nexus to evo is like fruity pebbles next to cap'n'crunch.
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
Dude fruity pebbles are the ****. Sent you a G-talk btw.
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
**** mobile ntwrk is off

here i come
[Hero CDMA General] schizopunk:
If the EVO didnt have Sense UI & had a trackball, I'd be totally game.
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
It won't take long for an AOSP-esque ROM to come out for the Evo. and hell, Launcher2.apk works fine on our Heros, it'd work awesome on the Evo.
[Hero CDMA General] schizopunk:
I think I'd be perfectly happy with the Nexus One. I don't see the big need to shell out all that money on an EVO.
[Hero CDMA General] Avalaunchmods:
ok im really sorry for hijacking your quote but i started rolling when i read the whole thing. i just took some words out and im crying over here.

lmaoooo its great.

damn i need to grow up :cool:
[Hero CDMA General] LeftysRule22:
Am I the only one who thinks that these new HTC phones are too big? The hero was pushing the size limit for me, then when i saw the HD2 i was like lord, may as well carry a TI-83 in my pocket. The EVO is similiar in size to the HD2 yes?
[Hero CDMA General] Leukay:
How is the hero pushing the size limit?! When I first held this phone I was shocked at how small it is. The only phone I've ever owned that was smaller was the diamond. Anyways, I too plan on getting the Evo in September when I have my upgrade. Hopefully there will be a MR out by then to fix some of the inevitable issues with 4g and stuff. But yeah, I am a little worried about the size, I mean I love the way the Hero fits in my pocket and in my hand, and as much as I can't wait to be looking at a huge 4.3 inch display, i have to wonder how it'll fit in my pockets and how it will feel in the hand.... Don't get me wrong, I am getting it regardless lol, this phone is just gonna be too sweet to pass up
[Hero CDMA General] phonetec:
well its a no brainer for me, 4 inch screen, hd quality video, TWO cameras, one of them is 8 mp, one gig of rom, 8 gig micro sd card included, 4G which will be available in my area this year, mobile hot spot that u can hook up 5 wifi capable devices to, ITS SO CRAZY!!!

Check out this comparison chart:
[Hero CDMA General] Vrekk:
:( im stuck with my hero for a while (not that its a bad phone, but the evo is bad ass)
[Hero CDMA General] michd43:
I'll be picking up this puppy the first day it comes out in June :D
[Hero CDMA General] nebenezer:
I disagree, the hero for me is like how the BB pearl was. It was cool, functional, compact but when the curve and tour came out that's where it was at for me.

then the hero... bb what?

I am very much looking forward to the Evo, I have very high expectations of it :D
[Hero CDMA General] usq:
kickstand rocks

i will be waiting the year mark on my hero (beginning of feb 11). hopefully the price will be much better and i will have full upgrade at that time.

apple has to be kicking themselves right now; if any device should have a kickstand its the ipad... and a usb port... and hdmi out... and a wide screen... and... :p

cheers,

ryan

btw- i checked out several iphone this last weekend (friends) and i am amazed at just how clunky it is compared to the hero at least.

Can someone shoot me some links I may not find on Google about the Evo? It would be greatly appreciated. PM's are preferred!
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
a fn kickstand

dealbreaker.
[Hero CDMA General] LeftysRule22:
looks like i am, lol. :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA General] Glod:
fck the cost, I am going for it. no matter the cost. besides i started sprint with a pre last june and I should have some sort of discount come the 1 year mark. Ditching the pre, my hero i got off ebay last November because i knew damn well something like this was going to come out.

4G is here in ATL and glod damnit it has a kick stand and a screen size that makes my hand look like it belongs to a midget
[Hero CDMA General] bitbang3r:
Were it not for the fact that Sprint will brutally rape me with ETF charges if I leave, I'd be seriously tempted to jump ship for THIS phone if it supports 1700/2100 or 850/1900 UMTS -- the General Mobile Touchstone:

Make fun of them for copying HTC if you like, but give them credit for giving us the one thing HTC and Sprint refuse to let us to have: real hardkeys. :-)
[Hero CDMA General] pseudoremora:
Hardkeys are soo 1996.:rolleyes: Seriously though, the EVO is going to have a 4.3" screen... that alone makes a hard key keyboard obsolete. The virtual keyboard on the EVO should be comparable, if not better in many ways than a regular tactical keyboard -- especially when you think about word prediction, auto correcting, auto caps, etc, etc.
[Hero CDMA General] gazment:
Damnit Damnit Damnit. Sprint Evo. Now I have to think of another reason on where the next missing chunk of money went. FML
[Hero CDMA General] scirio:
im curious as to what they've done with extUSB. I have a hardwired install in my dash for audio/power to my handset with one inconspicuous right angle extUSB.
[Hero CDMA General] Burksdb:
deff adding a second line to my account and getting this within the 1st week it's out. giving the hero to the gf (who dosent want it the hero btw* she wants a pre)
[Hero CDMA General] R2D2-AKU2:
I'm interested in the front camera. I've been waiting for a phone that's had one for a long time. The new iPhone is rumored to have one too. I wonder if they"ll be compatible for video calling or if they only work with chat programs? Go **** Tracy!
[Hero CDMA General] bitbang3r:
I have prediction disabled, because I end up fighting with it too much. Prediction is for people who don't care about capitalization or proper punctuation, and will accept whatever happens to appear on screen as "good enough." I personally get pushed to the brink of rage when I type a character, the system puts something different because it thinks that's what I want, I hit backspace, IT @#$@#$@# DOES IT AGAIN, and I end up spending 50 seconds trying to trick it into letting me have a goddamn lowercase letter instead of allowing it to beat me into submission and accept a capital letter in the middle of a sentence just because I used a period in a context it stupidly interpreted as the end of a sentence.

When people say, "Predictive input is the future," I like to remind them that usually means it doesn't work properly today. Touch input has been the future for at least 20 years now, and it still largely sucks.

Now, if they wanted to do touch input PROPERLY, I might tolerate it. For example, if they put a second 32x480 pixel LCD or eInk display at the bottom of the display with 3 or 4 vertical | etched | ridges | on | the | surface, and mounted the whole thing on a big button so you could have the best of both worlds... dynamic context that nevertheless can be used without having to give the phone 100% of your attention (staring at it to make sure you don't accidentally touch it where it doesn't want to be touched). If you know the third button from the right is "back", you can slide your thumb over -- feeling the ridges -- then press to unambiguously indicate that you want it to take action. And feel the nice, satisfying click when you do.

The problem with phones like the Nexus One and Evo is that they're pawning off value engineering and cost-cutting as a feature. Make no mistake, the new phones aren't buttonless because it's a genuine improvement in user interface design -- they're buttonless because it saves HTC a penny or two in manufacturing costs. They can save their pennies, and not lose a single customer, because they have millions of captive users courtesy of Sprint's "no nonSprint ESN phone for you!" policy.
[Hero CDMA General] KBizzle:
Wow. I dont have the above posters problem. I guess I text proper sentences.
[Hero CDMA General] bitbang3r:
Try using ConnectBot to SSH into a server and type a nontrivial multiline SQL query with a softkeyboard and predictive input enabled. You'll be in tears by the time you get to the GROUP BY, and be ready to smash the phone on the floor long before you get to the final semicolon.

Then, if you're feeling REALLY masochistic, launch ASE and try editing Perl. Hell, forget editing... try LAUNCHING something with mixed-case commandline flags. <shudder/>
[Hero CDMA General] swornenemy:
I could'nt have said it better myself
[Hero CDMA General] Kolade:
This is definitely in my future, lol!
[Hero CDMA General] sdotcarlisle:
i will definitely be switching.
[Hero CDMA General] ljmeli:
I tend to think predictive text used in its proper place (ie - text messages and short emails) is ideal on a phone. If you are using it to edit/create perl scripts I think a laptop would be better...

[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
lol+10o'these'things'hero
[Hero CDMA General] bitbang3r:
The problem is, you can't tell it, "Use predictive text for ${app[1]}, don't use it for ${app[2]}, use it for ${app[3]} with ${different-rules}, etc. It's all or nothing, and too much of a pain to change every time you context-switch apps. Besides, is there anyone here who genuinely doesn't want a device that's a pocket laptop with big display, but nevertheless handles its duties as 'phone' with graceful finesse?

Anyone having Evo dreams really, REALLY needs to go hang out with Nexus One users for a while, and listen to the things they complain about before pulling the trigger and buying a N1 OR an Evo sight unseen. Life in Buttonless Touchland is far from perfect.

The touchscreen-related complaints Nexus One users have today are all but guaranteed to be the same ones Evo owners will be having ~5 weeks from now. The release date is in the future, but the Evo's shipping ROM already went gold in the past. If there were magic fixes in place for the Evo, Nexus One owners would have them by now.

You have to be at least a little worried when you read posts arguing that the N1's biggest problem is its users, because they insist on holding the phone in a way that's comfortable instead of holding it the Way it was Intended to be Held(tm). I think it was Lenin or Stalin who had a similarly low opinion of the people forced to live under communism. ;)

These are phones designed to look sexy in pictures and cut manufacturing costs, not phones designed to be comfortable & effortless to use. They're the phone equivalents of being forced to eat lunch at at a fussy, expensive French restaurant where you'll be served two pieces of lettuce artfully cut to look like 'yin' and 'yang', with a drop of oil on one and a drop of vinegar on the other, when you really wanted to go to Fuddrucker's or TGI Friday's and sink your teeth into an awesome bacon cheeseburger that's practically a religious experience to eat. :D
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
i only want the evo because its sexy. im vain i know. and i will miss the trackball. but ill live with no buttons. and with the snapdragon, and ...ahem...KICKSTAND, i dont CARE about buttons.
[Hero CDMA General] rulyskull:
very sexy and yes i want it buuut im sure you all hear about the iphone DEFINITELY having a video call cam on front so ima wait till they either hopefully put one on this phone or wait for evo version2 because there prob will be one :) so ima wait for one of those two, or even for the ver2 because i couldn't wait any longer even if it doesn't have it:D

I wondered if anyone had tried calltrack app. It basically logs any call, missed call etc to your google calender. I looked for it on the marketplace but it's not available for me. Probably another tmobile thing with not getting access to some market apps...

ANyone tried it and if it's good, got the apk?
[Desire Themes and Apps] NZtechfreak:
Not available to me either, would love an apk for this one...
[Desire Themes and Apps] Bandare:
I've been looking today too but can't find an apk. I'm sure someone here must have tried it...
[Desire Themes and Apps] NZtechfreak:
Likewise I spent quite a while looking for an apk. Does Blapk Market have it I wonder?
[Desire Themes and Apps] fuzzmo:
I believe we don't see it because Google STILL has not approved the Desire on the market... and yup, I would like this too...
[Desire Themes and Apps] Bandare:
Are google not approving it just to be a pain? This seems ridiculous> Is it a standard thing that gets sorted within a few weeks?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Bandare:
I messaged the developer as I couldn't get the application from the market due to having a Desire - pfffft!

He sent me the apk which I have posted......

Working superbly for me. Suggestion: go to your gmail calender and create a seperate calender called desirecalls or something... then in the options in calltrack, select that!

This is great! I created a new calendar on Google called CallTrack. It showed up on my phone after a few minutes and all my calls are now logged to that calendar. That way they don't clog up my main calendar and, I assume but haven't tried yet, won't show up in Outlook after I sync.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Software Guru:
Thanks for this
[Desire Themes and Apps] dilofon:
Sorry, I bring this one up again ....

Just grabbed the "Call Track zip-file", installed it and tried to launch it.

Now I get the message:

I already have my Google Account connectet with a Calendar called "Phone Call" (This one is from a previous Insatllation HTC-Sense with WIN 6.5) There, it worked, but now with Android I´m surely making a tiny mistake.....

Can Somone help me?

Thanks, DiLo

[Desire Themes and Apps] kubino99:
Download the new version from market it contains some fixes for froyo.
[Desire Themes and Apps] dilofon:
Solved

Thx for the hint.... :)

Marketplace won´t let me download it for some reason (Maybe because I don´t have a DESIRE). :confused:

But finally I found a Download somwhere (uhhhh, took me a lot of time to find it....) in the Net :rolleyes: with a newer Version (CallTrack_1.10.apk).

Now it works fine!!! Great Tool ! :D

[Desire Themes and Apps] michaelsee:
I am using this CallTrack app too on my Galaxy S and created a new calendar call "Phone Calls" to track all the calls. However though it seems like I can see all call logs on my Galaxy S "Phone Call" calendar, I cannot seem to sync them onto my main Google Calendar, i.e. if I login to my Gmail through a PC and open up the calendar, it only shows the "Phone Calls" calendar without any entries. Can anyone confirm if this is normal or is this a bug? If I have to reset the Galaxy S and reload all the apps and settings, will the "Phone Call" calendar still shows the historical entries?

Rename your calendar to PhoneCalls. Avoid any space in your calendar name.

I have all of the above. I got the phone and its dust 2nd hand. Will Sprint replace the phone for me under my EPP for free or will it cost me a hunret smackers?

Thanks
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
Should be just them cracking it open and cleaning the dust out, if you take it to a repair store.
[Hero CDMA General] gunnyman:
That works for me too. Thanks :)
[Hero CDMA General] West650:
Do you have to have EPP for them to do this? Or is it just free?
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
Just keep throwing around "manufacturers defect" and "Covered under warranty"

Should get you there.
[Hero CDMA General] SchmediumTux:
As a service center manager, if you came in and asked me nicely, I would do it.. if you get someone that wants to be difficult, then just tell them that 60 percent of the time that you call people, you can't hear them.. there's nothing that they can really say to that lol..

Took the phone in to my Sprint Service center today. 20 minutes later I got back the phone dust free. The tech said he had never seen it before. I kinda chuckled at that. In other news, I played with a Samsung Moment. Boy did it feel CHEAP compared to the Hero.
[HD2 General] Rockin_Android:
So that's basically what I want to know. Is their any progress in getting us landscape throughout the OS on the HTC HD2 or at least the Twitter app?
[XPERIA X10 General] jar311:
I am having this horrible issue with my Wifi and bluetooth.

1. WIFI: When I turn on WiFi after a reboot it works flawlessly, connects to my wifi network and I can zoom around the net just dandy. As soon as I go out of range of WiFi or manually disconnect it it will NOT turn back on it says "Unable to start Wifi" until I do a full reboot. So annoying.

2.) Bluetooth: When connecting to my Headset it connects just fine after a reboot. HOWEVER, after pairing, if I put the X10 standby with the powerbutton before making a call it will drop the bluetooth audio connection and only play sound through the earpiece. Even though it SAYS it's still connected and paired. And THEN when I shut off bluetooth and try to turn it back on, pretty much the same as the wifi thing except I get no error message it just tries to initiate bluetooth and then sits for a few minutes and then I guess gives up and keeps the bluetooth shut off without any indication of failure.

I'm guessing it's defective but if anyone has had this issue, please speak up! And even better if you know how to solve it. Thanks!! =)
[XPERIA X10 General] ronj1986:
I too am having the same issue with wifi. Also my x10 is superslow on my wifi @ times. So i run a speedtest and I get 3MB, which is fast, but the phone isn't using that speed while browsing the internet.

I guess eventually...

android battery morph? clear status bar? how about the launcher icons?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] david1171:
All 20-30 of my morphs have .xml files for them. At the end of April, the free version of Metamorph that only supports .xml's will be released then, then more people should get to adding .xml files.

You could just make an .xml for the morphs you want to use that don't have one. It's painfully easy.

Rocish Bluetooth Stereo Headphones

I have been using these headphones with my Moto Droid for over a month. I even picked up a pair for my wife to use with her Eris. I have to say that we love them. I can use them all week at the gym with out charging. I usually workout 5-7 hours a week. You can control your music with the headphones and they are crystal clear for conversation. Here is a link for them:
