[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tech9000:
Hi,

i am pending between Desire and the N1 my doubts are:

1- How about the extra ram benefits of the Desire RAM: 576 MB versus the 512 MB RAM of the Nexus?

2- i know that HTC have a very strong XDA community so i am concerned that in the future XDA Roms and hacks for N1 are more faster droped then the HTC desire because although it is known that both use the same hardware but the Desire have more RAM, radio and perhaps a a better camera ("offering a solid 30 frames per second at D1 quality. The Nexus One only has D1 recording at a minimum of 20 frames per second") and perhaps other stuff so in the future let´s say when Android 2.3 gets out one can´t put it on N1 although there is a cooked rom for Desire because there are slight hardware differences
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liam.lah:
1. Yes, the desire has more ram, some will be required for Sense UI to run well, some more might be used for running programs

2. i think developers will naturally be attracted to the nexus one over the desire because the nexus one is a developer phone, it is easily hackable, and very flexible. the sense UI is proprietary which adds an extra problems when trying to fiddle with it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tech9000:
Thanks for the fast response liam.lah

I mean if the the extra ram of the Desire RAM: 576 MB versus the 512 MB RAM of the Nexus will make a significant difference?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythamp:
Have you considered the fact that n1 will get instant updates when google releases a new version of android? htc will make you wait a bit before they release their updated senseui+rom. i think that would also annoy devs.

the extra ram will benefit the sense ui interface, by making it smoother, but n1 doesnt have sense ui so that 64mb ram isnt making a difference to n1's speed.

edit: the desire also looks alil uglier :P - in my opinion (the buttons at the bottom ruin the sleek look)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tech9000:
I completely agree
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anethema:
Don't forget that sometimes HTC seems to artificially hold back updates to help sales of new models.

Look at the Hero/Legend. Same damn phone pretty much, but HTC isn't pushing an update to 2.1 to the Hero so it doesn't cannibalize sales of the Legend, which is sitting at 2.1 with identical guts inside. Totally artificial roadblock.

Who knows if that will happen with the Desire and some future HTC model.

Also..The desire does not have North American 3G, so that would be a dealbreaker for me personally.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
the RAM makes no difference in my opinion. its virtually identical.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tech9000:
Thanks all

i already order my Nexus One
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tech9000:
I already seen an review where the Desire was a little slower compared to the N1 because because of the sense ui. The reviewer said that the Sense ui in the HD mini was more fluid and the mini has an 600 mghz Qualcomm CPU/GPU. I can´t remember if it´s the first time that HTC puts its ui in an Android phone i know that they do that in Winmo phones since the Kayser so maybe it´s more optimized for this OS. But the reviewer didn´t tell also who many colors each cphone was using.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whatwhat456:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't HTC often include the modems RAM in its total RAM. So the ram is actually the same. It makes sense. Why would HTC add 64 mb extra RAM it's just kind of weird, they would have to add a whole new chip for just 64 mb.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
One thing to be aware of regarding the GN1 is that it actually ***IS*** an HTC phone, which means that the updates are STILL in the hands of HTC. Direct from the horse's mouth, google again screwed up and failed to insist that HTC hand over the full source code and specifications.

Just like HTC DREAM support was dropped prematurely, GN1 will suffer the exact same fate.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyBurns:
It does seem odd, especially since the 512MB RAM and FLASH of the N1 are both in a single chip, I don't know if that's true for the Desire too?

I was thinking that perhaps the additional 64MB was "bundled" in some other chip on the phone(s), but only enabled on the Desire?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] attn1:
Next to the Nexus One, the Desire looks like it was designed by those Volvo engineers canned in the 80's for making their cars so ugly!

Just kidding, the Desire is still a nice looking piece of harware, but I like the lines of the Nexis One better.

And yes, the N1 is a Dev phone, dirt simple to modify and updates will be available for it faster. Rooting the Desire so far is a lot more involved. (Paul @Modaco.com) just completed the task today for SOME of them.

The upside for Desire development is that it's likely to sell 25 times better than the N1, meaning that there are going to be plenty of people (including Paul) tinkering with it.

I don't think you can go wrong with either one, but my personal preference is still the N1 over anything currently available. In time, I am sure that will change.

i see a video showing htc incredible using the micro usb as a tv out ,is this the usb method for viewing tv out like pc ,or it is connected specially with the snapdragon to do this ,as if it is using usb method for tvout like in pc we could make use of its drivers for hd2 , but if it is connected specially to do this like tp2 ,we will start from zero again
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
Do you have a link to the video? I doubt it will work on the HD2, but it would be awesome if there's a way.
[HD2 General] MAMeingast:
Correct me if I'm wrong - but hasn't TV out on the HD2 been discussed over and over already?
[HD2 General] shutdown:
nearly as much as windows mobile 7
[HD2 General] MAMeingast:
Good... I wasn't sure if I might be confusing the discussion in the HD2 forum with the one in the HD forum... :D
[HD2 General] Starwing:
Could anyone to try incredible-android build on Hd2 and a HTC Droid Incredible TV-Out Cable?Maybe works...

[Legend Themes and Apps] hymne:
Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone knows why I can't use google navigation (in Belgium)?

Also there seem to be no good gps softwares on the arket for legend.

I can't drive my car WATCHING google maps 'my location' without clear directions/spoken.

Any advise appreciated!

Another thing that is not possible is voice recognition, hos is it possible that HTC decided to block this on Legend? Unbelievable!

Thanks!
[Legend Themes and Apps] dubart:
Navigon, Sygic, iGo... pretty good imo
[Legend Themes and Apps] thesmiler:
try CoPilot.. it´s not free but close TomTom. maps are available for almost everywhere
[Legend Themes and Apps] Symanz:
I am using NDrive :rolleyes:
[Legend Themes and Apps] latorante:
I bought iGo and I must say, its pretty good, its fast, it fixes the position in seconds and I just love it :)

I was hoping that by the time Ill by my Legend, there will be tom tom for android, but theres not ... so :)
[Legend Themes and Apps] xxxhxxx2001:
best one for me is the sygic, very similar to tomtom and very reliable.
[Legend Themes and Apps] magicdroid:
Because Google didn't enable it yet for Belgium (it's only available in US & UK).

You could always install Brut's hacked Google Maps, which enables Google Nav for unsupported countries ;-)
[Legend Themes and Apps] sventrapapere:
sygic is the best!
[Legend Themes and Apps] -MojaV-:
Navigon

I have a very good experience with Navigon for Android.

Sygic mobile maps running on my legend, i only installed benelux maps, but europe is available.
[Legend Themes and Apps] josmeijer:
Well, I did install a "workarounded" maps found somewher on this forum, and apart from the fact that it unexpectedly did a total makeover of my phone, it only is another way to find out that Google Maps is not supported in BeNeLux.

You can choose routing, only to get a message from google that maps is not (yet) supported for my region.

Presumably routing needs additional data from google or they found a way to block access again.

I guess the latter, as I tried to travel around in the US with the same result.
[Legend Themes and Apps] JonasDroid:
I had the exact same problems (also got belgium HTC Legend without voice recognation and navigation) BUT: you can get it working farly easy.

Here is a link to the google navigation BRUT mod: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=630887

Brut.all made the google navigation work everywhere even in Belgium.

And since 18/05 it even has voice guidance.

For the Voice recognation (Voice Search) I've uploaded the one that works for me on megaupload: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AV5QM1CZ

If that doesn't work try searching google for voice search apk. I've tried at least 10 since I found one that wasn't giving me an error.
[Legend Themes and Apps] Misteregu:
I'm using Navigon and I'm really happy with that..
[Legend Themes and Apps] sam0056:
copilot

I didnt think irealand was big enough to warrant a satnav (jus kidin) i am using copilot cracked iff anyone wants the apk file pm me i find it by far the best one around i have tried most.All you need is the apk once installed it dloads current maps automatically and also speed cameras.

I'm pretty sure I've already posted this, but I can't find it, so I'm posting again.

So I installed sygic, but it won't load any maps even though they are in the right directory "/Maps/xxx/xxx.pak".

I also tried "/maps/xxx/xxx.pak" and "/maps/xxx.pak", but ut doesn't work.

Anyone's got a solution for this ?

[Legend Themes and Apps] TheLegendaryJay:
Why? Google Maps does it very well, see the post about the 'hacked' maps for countries outside the US & UK.
[Legend Themes and Apps] grandioso:
It does, but it requires internet connection which is fine as long as I'm not abbroad... I have Austria and Hungary just behind the corner, so I could use an offline navigation.
[Legend Themes and Apps] referee025:
I have problem with GPS. Sometimes Legend fix satellites for about 15 sec, but usually it fix for about 10-15 minutes or can't fix at all. I'm using iGO. Does anyone have similar problems?
[Legend Themes and Apps] BlaY0:
When trying to get a fix it helps if you are not moving... faster you move, harder you get a fix. Another thing which I really don't understand is that in /etc/gps.conf there is a NTP_SERVER variable. First of all, you get fix significantly faster if you have data connection turned on because it is obviously trying to poll (I don't have a slightest idea why) that nfs server. It also helps if you put inthere your nearest ntp server (that would probably be ntp server of your provider).

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zaijian:
I'll drop a new version tomorrow - everything's starting to come together nicely.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zaijian:
I've just posted what will likely be the final beta release. There may be minor bugfix releases but in terms of functionality this app is almost complete.

New in 0.94, i've added the Remote Control profile, which lets you remotely send text messages, look up contact or appointment info, get the phone's current GPS coordinates, enable/disable other profiles. I've also added the ability to automatically answer calls, as well as extend the SMS responder profile with the full range of filters.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mafesama1:
I have discovered that I am being charged...

for all SMS received while I am abroad...

Will this software have the ability to set my phone

so as to allow any incoming or outgoing calls

while rejecting ALL INCOMING SMS ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zaijian:
unfortunately this app won't affect your phone from receiving sms, it only acts after the fact.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mafesama1:
What a pity !

A good recepcionist should know when not to answer !

In so doing there would be no cause for a lie !

Jajaja....

May I invite you to consider that SMS blocking, please ?

Thank you very much.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zaijian:
no app can block an sms from being received - that's up to the carrier
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mafesama1:
Therefore it should be illegal...

..to charge for any received messages on the basics that

the user receiving an unrequested message is being actually

charged for it...without having no way to avoid it !

If I go abroad and anyone sends 10.000 SMS I will simply start

looking for a bridge to live under.

Police, police, police !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zaijian:
you can use my app to automatically respond to all incoming sms with the message "please stop texting me!"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mafesama1:
I am not making myself understood....

I travel very often.

When I step off the plane in Rome, a SMS is received as soon as

I turn on my phone wellcoming in Italy.

A charge of 0,60 euro is made.

I then go to London. Same charge.

I go to Paris. The same.

Three times a day...1,80 euro.

Twenty days a month...36 euro for havung my phone on !

And I am not considering other messages of unwanted advertisement !

SMS should be received only when desired, exactly the same as incoming calls...

Can you imagine your phone answering all calls without you deciding to do so ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zaijian:
Unfortunately nobody can stop that but the cellular carrier.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mafesama1:
Ok.....

Thanks anyway. ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rampantdragon:
out of beta

now that the beta is closed, when will I be able to buy this?;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zaijian:
believe me i want to get this app to market as soon as possible. I have some polish and cleanup to do and my day job to deal with to. let's hope I can get the final version done by july.

in the meantime, enjoy the app and let me know how out works for you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mafesama1:
Found a way to stop/resume SMS reception...

STOP SMS reception: Call *35*0000*16#

RESUME SMS reception: Call #35*0000*16#

In each case a "successful" report will be received after dialing.

I think perhaps you would like to include a switch to automatically

stop/resume SMS on that basis...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zaijian:
I might be able to figure out a way to integrate this nicely, i'll look into it.

This code seems to work only on GSM phones, does anybody know the CDMA equivalent?

Is there a way to register the beta version so that the restrictions are removed?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zaijian:

Hi!

Can you please add this Function?

If [user defined number] is calling Then AutoAnswers With Speaker On Else do the normal call method

Is a way to when some numbers call us, the phone automatically answers with speaker on.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zaijian:
Yeah, I think I can figure out how to get it to turn on speakerphone. Other than that, the app can already do everything you want.

I'll try and add that for a future release.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chemao:
Why don't you just call your phone company before you leave and tell them to disable text messages? When you get back call and activate them again. Verizon and T-Mobile even let you do this yourself just by logging into your account. I would imagine you can do the same with Sprint and Cingular/AT&T.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chemao:
feature question

Are any of these functions available on a PER CONTACT basis?

1. Send a contact specific reply text

2. Ignore the call

3. Forward the call to another number

Please advise
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zaijian:
1. Yes - Full Profile, add Contact Criteria, Sms Rule, Message Action

2. Yes - Blacklist Profile

3. No - but what I'd do is the same as #1, just change the message and say call me at this other #

Hi

i dont know better place to ask about this.

I'm creating rule for sms...

when sms comes from number XXX i created rule which says:

send to number YYY .. message body {PHONE_NUMBER} {SMS_BODY}

When sms from XXX come.. is that

failed to send sms to <number>

where can i find why is this doing??

TY a lot

for everybody i found that this is problem with state prefix

if i used +421xx then error appears... i used xxx only.. it is working fine

when you must use prefix then use 00<previx><number>
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] our3rotts:
I think that you've solved a problem that I've encountered on my company's WinMo phones.

Does this app handle overrides of the primary phone profile based on a incoming call/SMS/email from a specific contact - similar to how BB handles contact priority?

In moving to SMS/email messages to the HTC/WinMo phones, they do not have a "contact override" - for a contact with a custom ringtone.

The problem arises when the phone is set in vibrate or silent mode and that profile is priority, rather than the contact.

I've got about 40 phones I need to have this feature for, so the setup needs to be somewhat intuitive for non-techies.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TheLandYacht:
On your site, I found the following. Thankfully, since I just found this software, it didn't stop working today. But would you mind clarifying this a bit? Is there a new beta coming out, or a non-expiring one that's available?

0.95b notes/changelog

* Open beta

* Since this is a beta, program access will expire on 01 August 2010
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zaijian:
The expiration only applies to those who were helping me beta-test the registered version - doesn't apply to non-registered versions.

The latest version seems to be pretty stable, so I may release 1 or 2 more versions before the final 1.0.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] janneman22:
Looks promising, but now a little design:p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TheLandYacht:
I've actually had it crash twice on me, but I think I caused it. In both cases I was testing my own text messaging by texting myself and when the SMS came in, Receptionist died. It tried to send an error-log email, but I don't have mail setup yet. Other than that, it seems stable so far to me.

Anyway, the only thing that concerns me right now is waking up one afternoon to find that MR no longer functions cuz of the beta-cutoff-date.

Great app so far, even though I've only scratched the surface of what it can do.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lovingHDTV:
Is it possible to enable/disable profiles based on GPS coordinates or cell tower information? This app is getting really close to what I've wanted for a long time. I would just like to be able to have the profiles work automatically for me.

For example, when I leave home I'd like to turn off wifi, then turn it back on when I get into the office. At the theater I'd like to turn the phone to silent, etc.

dave
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zaijian:
I could do the GPS pretty easily, but my concern there is with battery usage. I'll have do some extensive testing before it's ready.

As far as wifi control goes, I don't have any code that could do that natively, however, with the ability to execute any other program, if you had a program or shortcut that did that, you could do it that way.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] werdna72:
G-Profile will do what you want, though like you I'm looking forward to further development of Mobile Receptionist!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lovingHDTV:
Unfortunately the cell tower based profiles don't work for CDMA.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lovingHDTV:
What about support for something like this?

It stores your location in the registry and all you would have to do is read it. At least I believe that is how it works.
