Hello all,

Bumping this old thread as I have similar queries and I need some assistants.

So here is my query. Lately I'm having electricity shortage and my desktop pc cannot run longer on batteries and I don't have much money to buy a an normal laptop neither I want bigger screens.

I need an mini laptop with good performance. After researching many of em, I finally came to the following models and so available in my places :

HP Mini 110-3730TU

Asus R051PX

ACER Aspire One Happy 2

so from the above, I have to select one or none if it doesn't suit my nature of usage.

1. Not mainly for gaming but atleast a low end games would be good. i.e GTR 2 – FIA GT Racing Game

2. Web surfing.

3. ROM cooking its my main requirement. Either it would be WM, Android or WP7 cooking.

4. Windows and Linux supported.

If my above requirements aren't possible on atom dual core cpu, please let me know. Also which model I should go for. any other models or brands are also welcome.

I have no idea about these netbooks and how well they perform. so I really need any of your guide lines. Don't wanna waste money where the device isn't worth for my usage.

Thanks...

Best Regards

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1-evolve:
So I started my android life with a G1, then eventually got a Mytouch. Now I am considering getting a Nexus one, I have the money saved up but I am not 100% sure... I want some experienced users (mainly the people who's root) and tell me, does the battery last good? And are you truly happy with it? Because I can't make up my mind rather to get the Nexus, or the Droid..Or some other new android phones coming to t-mobile soon..(rumors)

But then again I hate the fact that every time I buy a phone a new one comes out.. lol.

Side note: If anyone is selling a nexus, let me know.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deprecate:
Tough situation. You have to realize that at some point, the trigger has to be pulled and when it is, another device will be coming out. That is just how it works. Look at Apple users...they buy a laptop to find out 6 months later something even better is arriving. Technology never waits, so when you want something, jump on it.

If you are on T-Mobile, you can look at the Desire. If you are interested in Verizon, the Incredible is landing soon which is basically a Desire with a boost.

The Nexus is a very open platform with amazing community support and having owned two, I regret nothing. This phone is amazing.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrycycle:
I have good battery life now with some setting changes in custom rom I run. I have the extended battery so the feeling is comfortable for 1 hand texting. I still have and toy with my G1 but when I leave the house the I have the N1. I wouldn't trade my N1 for any phone out. It took me a few days to get adjusted to not having the physical keyboard but the size of the screen really make it easy. I just didn't get it when I had a mytouch. These are just a few of my options.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaJu:
Definitely get a Nexus. Like deprecate said, technology will keep moving. You just gotta take the plunge. Battery life has been decent for me but that is most probably cause mine is still a brand new battery. Once it's broken in a little, it should be good.

The processor is ridiculously amazing. Things just work, and work very fast. Trust me, once you use the Nexus for a day and try to go back to G1/Dream, you will wonder how you lived all this time. The HTC Desire Rom for Nexus is actually very good if you like Sense. It also has Flash Player Lite if you're into that. Cyan's Rom, of course, gets better all the time. Honestly there aren't a lot of Rom options yet but that's because there isn't very much that could be improved at this point. Everything just works.

All in all, I say go for it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1-evolve:
the desire seems ok, idk I really might get a nexus I just don't want the battery to suck for a $500+ phone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaJu:
Well you gotta be reasonable. It has a 1ghz processor. The thing is gonna be a bit of a juice monkey no matter what. There are undervolted kernels available that help with battery life though.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 84tdan:
After a month playing with my rooted N1 (previously had a iphone 3g) i can only say: Wow, this beast is fast. You can multi-task, load custom ROMs, browse fast and soon we will have flash support. Battery life is accetable, so great performance with a so thin design is acceptable. And android is a powerfull and flexible OS. Im very happy with my nexus1.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2gooder:
I went through the same thought process as well before buying my Nexus One. The thing that really sold me was the fact that I have a few friends with Android phones and they all seem pretty frustrated that they see all these new Android releases coming out and their phones remain stuck at 1.5. Since the N1 is Google's showcase phone it's pretty much a given that it will always get timely updates to the latest version of Android. I don't think you can say the same for ANY other Android phone (a lot even have boot loaders that can't be unlocked like the Milestone and Rogers HTC Magic) and I doubt any that might come out in the next few months will be that lucky either. Plus this thing is just mind blowing fast.

I came from an iPhone 3G so initially I was slightly disappointed with the touchscreen (it doesn't reject spurious input from fingers and palms that might wrap around the phone) and the less than stellar reception. Every time I put my hand on lower part of the phone and see 2-3 bars of reception disappear I feel shame.

Coming from a Magic I doubt I would ever notice this because these problems exist in those phones too as I believe it uses the same touchscreen and the radio placement is identical.

As for battery life, I actually get pretty good life now that my usage has settled down.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prod1702:
For the Battery if you run one of the UV kernels as well as setcpu with profiles. Also do some of the main things you do with your Mytouch like turn off wifi, GPS, screen brightness to low, only use 3G when you need it other wise leave it on Edge, as well as the many other battery saving ideas. You should should get great battery life. I can go about 16 hours of ok usage and have about 50 to 60% battery life left. Check my Sig for what i am running. Over all i paid full price for my N1 and i am love with phone in every way.
[Desire General] eoinoc333:
Hi,

I'm in Ireland, on O2.

They've given me different settings to try out, and I've gotten advice from others with the same SIM-free Desire on O2 Ireland who have been successful. I have never gotten a "3G" or "H" symbol for connection. I'm only able to connect for data through WiFi.

Using the same SIM in my Sony Ericsson results in an HSPA connection, so no problems directly with the SIM.

After all the trying for a couple of days, I wonder in the end if it's possible that my handset has a 3G aerial hardware error. Is there a way to perhaps test for this?

In the phone app, pressing *#*#4636#*#* brings you to an information screen which might help. For GPRS it just says "disconnected".

Thanks for any pointers.

[Desire General] mcgon1979:
I notice a piece of lint under the glass on my desire. Not highly noticable, but still... I suppose its kind of impossible to make a screen thatsize and have it sealed with zero foreign objects undreneath? I read that this was a common problem with the nexus one. not sure if its common on Desire, or if the dust was there when I bought it, or got in in the last 3 days.

I wouldn't consider replacing it or anything, not over that. Maybe over a dead pixel, buit not some lint. anyone else notice anything under their glass?
[Desire General] Jon_010:
yup got same, a tiny piece above the menu key, about 2 mil from the bottom edge of the screen. not enough for me to send it back though.

Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
yeah I read quite a few threads on the matter. Theres a good chance you'd get the same in a replacement model so not worth it if its minor. Loving the phone though. some piece of kit :)
[Desire General] zonkkk:
I didn't notice anything under the glass screen so far. I got mine on March 27th.
[Desire General] Halle:
Well that's not true. I have had an HD2 for several months now and as we know it has an even bigger screen than the desire.

My point is that I have absolutely NO dust particles under my glass. I have looked and looked, under sunlight etc. NO dust. Why? Cus on the HD2, the LCD is glued to the glass/digitizer wich makes it impossible for dust to get in. On the Desire, I believe this is not the case wich means dust will eventually build up under there with time. ;)
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
Alas you are right. I have more dust under my screen than I did when I got the phone 2 months ago. So... I guess it's not airtight. well, not that I expected it would be. maybe they could not glue the amoled screen to the digitiser/glass in the amoled screens. who knows.
[Desire General] jaymit:
solution

ive posted a reply about this on the phone restarting thread. essentially htc said that BOTH the dust and phone restarting are their problem so ive had the phone replaced within a week
[Desire General] DeathJester:
This is a massive problem with the Topaz. Dust gets in by the top of the volume key. Thankfully it's only noticeable with the phone switched off, so it's not serious issue, just very prevalent.

HTC need to improve their sealing process between digitisers and their screens.
[Desire General] st0kes:
I had dust under the screen after 1 week on the left hand side. Pretty bad design fault from HTC if you ask me. On my old HTC Magic dust came in from the speaker grille and then fell down from the top of the screen.

Back on the desire though I got a case and screen protector from amazon and no more dust has appeared since then.
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
Cheers. I've contacted support, but I doubt they would replace the phone. We'll see.
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
They offered to take it in for repair (as opposed to replacement). Ah well. I'll hold onto it as its minor. I heard of some guy on here sending it off for repair only to get it back with more dust in it than originally.

I think the best thing is to examine the unit on the first day of purchase with a fine tooth comb. If anything is wrong then send it back to clove or hantec or whoever for a direct swap replacement. Next time... When Desires future heir is born I will do that. :)

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] dracosc:
Hi, everyone. I'm using this phone for a couple of weeks and i cannot say that i am not happy. There are some problems but i'm trying to fix them. One of the problems is that when i connected to my MSN (Windows Live Messenger), all my MSN contacts were downloaded and added to my main telephone contacts. Every time i am searching for a friend to call and go to contacts, i see 200 useless MSN contacts. Is there a way i can set my contacts only to show my real contacts and not MSN friends? Also, is there a way to show or select only SIM contacts and not ALL?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
I don't use MSN but I suspect there are sync settings that you can turn off contacts from syncing.

You may want to consider "MyPhone" for syncing contacts.

Also, these devices suck out of the box so you may also want to consider a custom ROM, eventually.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] dracosc:
I have deselect Contacts to be Sync under "Microsoft MyPhone", but still i cannot uncheck the option to save my contacts under "Windows Live" Options.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
Apparently once your sync options are set in Windows Live, they are no longer configurable (greyed out).

I see 2 possible options;

Clean up your MSN list, or..

Hard reset and cofigure not to sync contacts from MSN.
[Hero CDMA General] nebenezer:
So I've learned more about android so far than I intended or expected. I haven't needed to learn about or implement a2sd but at this point my "keepers" app collection has me down to just over 20mb free internal storage so I'm considering taking the plunge.

I haven't used a2sd yet for two reasons:

A) I haven't needed it

B) I've read lots of threads regarding difficulty with setting it up and maintaining it when switching or updating roms

So what's the scoop? Is it worth it? Is there any performance gain or is it strictly a storage benefit?

Should I go ahead and learn about it so it's in place when the time comes that I want to use it or am I better off with my current rule of thumb? Which is "if I think I NEED a2sd then I probably NEED to reevaluate my app library".

Thanks guys

Unless you are running out of space on your phone, I wouldn't worry about it. It is supposed to be faster if you have one of the $100 8gb class 10 thingys but I don't know if its true. its fast enough already

I don't know, I'm curious myself. :P
[Hero CDMA General] danaff37:
I use, ran out of space on my phone the first week so was excited to do it. it was a piece of cake to set up with RA 1.6.2, and switching roms has been no big deal, I usually first try to update without wiping ext, and 9 times out of 10 it works fine and I don't have to download my apps again (though you do lose data, but that can be backed with titanium. If it does mess up, it's no big deal, I adb pull the apps out with a * and they're all on my computer pretty quickly so I can reinstall as necessary.
[Hero CDMA General] nebenezer:
Do you mean to say that even using a2sd you STILL run out of space on /data?

[Hero CDMA General] doeboy711:
I love a2sd cause I have a 8g card vs a small internal storage space on the phone. A2sd is very easy.

1. Backup your SD card on computer.

2. Root your phone if you haven't.

3. Partition your SD card via the recovery menu(I used 512mb for my ext2).

4. In the same menu at that below it change it from ext2 to ext3.

5. After complete put all of your files back on your SD card that you saved to your computer.

6. Then mostly every new 2.1 ROM has it built in now where it runs from the first bootup with no patching or user issues. Just make sure you look in the description of the ROM to make sure.

I'm running Fresh 2.0d. I just upgraded to a new 8g SD card for more music and movie storage space. So I just re-did the process. The longest part is waiting for the files to be transfered to/from the computer.
[Hero CDMA General] Vrekk:
I would skip the ext3 part if I were you, kills your sd card faster
[Hero CDMA General] doeboy711:
I know some people were having so trouble with some of the ROM's cause they were in ext2 but no one was having any problems while using ext3 s thats why I posted that. To help alleviate that issue
[Hero CDMA General] feld:
I don't know why they even made this an option. I have a feeling the people implementing this have no knowledge of filesystems which is frightening....

For those of you running it:

What class cards do you have?

[Hero CDMA General] jonnythan:
I'm using a class 6.
[Hero CDMA General] funcrusher:
See, if I had a class 6 I probably would have tried it out by now. Afraid that my class 2 will slow down apps etc. ;\
[Hero CDMA General] bobr0949:
I've had no problems with a class 2 8gb.

I have a class 6 on order.
[Hero CDMA General] jonnythan:
I doubt it, actually. The class rating only refers to the minimum write speed in an optimal situation. Read speeds seem to be decently high across the board. You'll probably never notice any difference, if there even is one.
[Hero CDMA General] funcrusher:
Yeah? What do you think about the 2.5 version or whatever that moves your dalvik over as well?
[Hero CDMA General] bobr0949:
Be sure to do a nand +ext backup.
[Hero CDMA General] jonnythan:
Dunno. Doesn't really matter where dalvik is. Since moving the apps themselves over I have plenty of room on both partitions so it doesn't matter to me.

I just use whatever's built into the ROM I'm using.
[Hero CDMA General] funcrusher:
Cool, I appreciate the info.

I think I may give it a try this weekend.
[Hero CDMA General] nebenezer:
Thanks for the feedback everybody! :D
[Hero CDMA General] Vrekk:
ext3 is basically a ext2 file system with a journal on it, helps prevent data loss and in most cases make the file system all around better. The downside to ext3 is it read/writes more data more often, which is just fine and recommended on a hard drive. But flash memory can only read and write so many times, and therefore a journal on flash memory chip makes it die faster, do to the increased about the data written.
[Hero CDMA General] nebenezer:
wow, interesting. Thanks for the explanation!
[Hero CDMA General] DarkPhoenix:
So I would assume that using ext4 would not be reccomended?
[Hero CDMA General] Vrekk:
Short answer: No ext4 is not recommened

Long answer: its better then ext3, but ext2 is still better for sd cards

I've read that you could have major problems if you remove your card while the phone is on or if your card goes bad. Can anyone verify that?
