Not exactly....

But had 30 minutes to compare.

Cleared cache and rebooted my nexus...had full signal in the store.

Well on good....screen Res seemed richer on the nexus. Close-up revealed finer contrast than incredible.

Incredible just flew...app to app and thru menu items tho... significantly faster than nexus.

(I'm on Desire remix rom btw).

Browser to browser: interesting: speedtests: nexus consistantly 2500kbps...incredible: 1200.

But on graphic heavy sites incredible was marginally faster most of the time. Nexus has initial lag connecting then was faster.....Incredible seemed to have none of that initial lag. Don't know what that means. (I have under 25 Apps installed).

Camera shots were actually fairly similar....incredible was better by a bit.

I like the feel of the incredible better much more secure due to that 'race car' back.

The gallery and music apps are really nice.

So ...I think we're oneupped out of the box a bit....

We'll see if folks mod it to any degree.
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
You can really compare a ported rom to a rom built specifically for a device.
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
Honestly dude after reading your post it sounded like the Nexus One came out on top by hair...
[Nexus One General] prettyboy85712:
Yeah....not really a valid comparison.
[Nexus One General] sclui56:
Apples to oranges. Different network, one is a near virgin unit and your N1 is loaded up with apps & data, you can clear all the cache you want but there are still background tasks.
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
but even given all of that it still sounded to me like the Nexus wONE :D
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
I dunno dude, if my app flicking was any smoother, my Nexus would start signing Barry White.

Isn't Incredible on Verizon and N1 on TMo/ATT? It's the provider.
[Nexus One General] DMaverick50:
I didnt see where or if you mentioned whether or not you were using stock with the pathetic ram or a custom with appropriate ram use. But not only does the incredible have more ram, it probably actually uses a lot of it unlike the nexus. maybe after an update the nexus will be just as quick.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
I was at first going to call the OP retarded for this horrible comparison. Instead though, I will just say - flash Cyanogen, and you will see which one is fastest.

And then say more.

These Desire ROMs are just horrible on the Nexus, and offer a very noticeable speed difference from stock or any other non-Desire ROM. That's why when Froyo is released, I will stay off of them for a while. Not to mention your using Manup's.. its based from one of Paul's old builds, Alpha 10 I believe.. can't remember.

I'm positive though regardless, the Nexus on its native Android version or updates in the future are up to par or faster than the Incredible. Don't spread a bad name please, it really urks me when people inform people of false information. Or non valid and a long stretch from the truth accusations.
[Nexus One General] TFJ4:
The 2 phones have the same amount of ram..
[Nexus One General] ztm.000:
compare a stock nexus one with a stock incredible.

Horrible topic... sounds like nexus won too me too...lol

Wierd
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
It's not a fair comparison because the Incredible is running Sense UI written for the Incredible.

The N1's ROM is a hack job.

And the Desire's kernel hasn't been released yet, which is the reason for the any lag you might experience on the N1.
[Nexus One General] j.bruha:
As it's been said, there are a number of different factors that will influence a comparison like this, probably most notably the difference between a beta ROM and one built and polished for one specific phone.

But who cares? Same team guys. It's all Android and that's what counts.
[Nexus One General] TFJ4:
Indeed. I'll gladly let the Incredible be the #1 phone if it sales 1 million+ phones fast and gets the market growing even faster like the original droid did
[Nexus One General] androidlicious:
Could you elaborate more on this? I'm interested in seeing how the 8MP camera is compared to the 5MP on the Nexus One...
[Nexus One General] mortzz:
The only reason the Incredible "seems" faster loading apps and such is because SenseUI doesn't have the animated window transitions. Turn them off in spare parts (like I have) and it's just as responsive, if not more.
[Nexus One General] Sistum Id:
Looking at a 8MP at normal 100% and a 5MP 100% they will look the same I believe. If you zoom in or look at one at its full resolution, you will see the difference. Since both phones are using the same screen size and resolution, any difference will be unnoticeable I believe.

I have photos from my girlfriends 12MP camera and had added them to my Nexus One SDcard. Since they get sized to fit my N1 screen, I never noticed a difference in detail unless I zoomed in.
[Nexus One General] androidlicious:
Ah, I see. I just thought that the Incredible's photos would be more crisp and detailed, considering the higher resolution. But I love the camera on the N1 and I use it a lot, so I can't complain.
[Nexus One General] rockky:
Thanks a lot didnt realize it was that significant
[Nexus One General] rockky:
Wow ....SO true.

Thanks
[Nexus One General] temperbad:
Wow, turning them off makes apps open instantly.... holy wow... thanks for the tip
[Nexus One General] DMaverick50:
right but stock android on nexus doesnt use it all because of that kernel screw up, but if the op is rooted then his phone probably is using it all..
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
No that is not so true, not in this case. The OP also said he was using a Desire ROM, not only does the Incredible not have the transitions, but the Desire ROMs do not either. This speed difference between each phones was not because of the transitions, it was as stated previously because Sgyense was running on the OPs Nexus. Which wasn't made intentionally to run on the Nexus.. and these ports without the Desire kernel aren't doing anything justice.

It (the Incredible) did not "appear" faster, it just was..
[Nexus One General] nexus5894:
this is no way a fair test because the Desire ports are still (since the kernel is unreleased) a stiched-together unstable slow system, compared to the actual stock Sense rom on the Incredible. Cyanogen (or other similar rom) vs incredible would be fair, and only if they were on the same Wi-Fi network.
[Nexus One General] mohsin125:
loll it shows that nexus wonnn!!! loll
[Nexus One General] Dorick:
isn't the soc the same snapdragon on both?
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
seems like the nexus came out the winner to me too based on what he wrote. heh

[Nexus One General] nephron:
i am really sorry bro but this is just a TERRIBLE comparison and doesnt help at all.

1. You are using a ported rom which although might function OK at best, does not compare to a rom especially build for a certain device.

2. You can get a cover for the nexus to get that "race cover back"

3. You can use the desire camera mod for the cyan mod

4. The gallery on the nexus is just amazing. I dont think i could have hoped for more

5. I have no lags at all with my setup. And i mean NONE. I have 70 apps installed with no lag on games, apps, or going between apps to home so idk what you are talking about.
[Nexus One General] coolbho3000:
It wasn't really a screwup, just how the memory map was done in pre-2.6.32 kernels. I'm really interested in how the memory is mapped on the Desire, just HTC needs to get off their asses and release the kernel source.
[HD2 General] Andrew_Seal:
Hi, my hd2 started going a bit funny today, running very slow, so turned it off and on again, solved the problem for a while, but then did it again later. I thought it might be the system memory being low, but looked and it had about 40mb free. I tried turning it on and of again, this time when it started up the program that loads the 1st time you turn it on started, after getting thru that, it couldn't load up htc sence, it was running really slow and came up with system memory critically low warning, I loaded up file manager, and it was showing all the folders "my docs, program files, ect" had doubled or duplicated themselves? Maybe windows had reinstalled them? anyway turned the phone off to see if it was just a glytch, now it wont load up at all! gets to the white "htc" screen and shows the usual rom info at the bottom but goes no further? I dont know what to do :confused:

Thanks for any help
[HD2 General] rumz82:
Hi. I had the same problem the other night. wasnt doing anything special on the phone. I soft reseted the phone it did exactly the same as yours. Just got stuck at the bootscreen. Had to do the old trick..............hard reset!!:mad:
[HD2 General] atagent:
Happened to me twice, and twice hard reset. It happened again this morning when I uninstalled Cookie's Home Tab 1.7 to install 1.71. After the uninstall, it didn't load Sense. It still works with all other functions, so I downloaded and installed 1.71, soft reset, and home screen is back.

Maybe worth a try...? Good luck!
[HD2 General] Andrew_Seal:
Thanks guys, I ended up having to do a hard reset, stupid phone :rolleyes:

Wouldnt be so bad but I had't backed up my contacts, :eek:
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChosSimbaOne:
Hello XDA.

I'm considering to flash a custom rom on my htc hero. I'm wondering which custom rom does have the best battery life, which would you recommend?

I would like a rom that can last a day, so that i only have to charge over night?

By the way, how do i find out if i have the gsm or cdma edition?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tristan202:
If you live in the us you have the cdma. Every other place in the world use gsm.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
Battery life has more to do with how you use the phone rather than the rom, most are similarly optimised now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChosSimbaOne:
It nice to hear. How much battery time do you get?

Which ROM would you recommend? Been Thinking of installing beHero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
Personally i get between 1-4 days on a standard battery depending on how I use the phone, and I get between 4-10 days on my extra life battery (3000 mah).

I use VillainROM and am currently on 5.2, but 5.3 is out in about 30 mins or so. I have heard good things about many of the roms, check out their features and see which you prefer.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Not necessarily! The US does use GSM as well as CDMA - it just uses a different set of frequencies. A Telus Hero is a GSM Hero and will work on AT&T in the US.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChosSimbaOne:
Now i've rooted my HTC Hero. And i've come to the point where i should update my radio. Is this nessescary, can in ruin my phone and what excatly does it do?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
It can brick your phone, however as long as you don't flash a GSM radio on a CDMA hero or visa versa (assuming they have cdma radios?) you are fairly safe. Also don't pull the battery out whilst its happening. Just be patient, it can take a while for some people apparently (10 mins or more), though it takes about a minute on mine.

All the radio does it let your phone know where signal towers are, from what I gather. Though people often talk about some radio's working better with certain rom's and they apparently affect battery life - i'm not entirely convinced.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChosSimbaOne:
Okay. Could it have any effect on my signal strengh? Are you using the laste radio rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChosSimbaOne:
Thanks for the help and guides. Now i've got it all up and running :-) Has been a greate help, and i'm really looking forward to use android 2.1 :-) Will see if i change back to HTC when they can get their act together and release the 2.1 update for android :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
Yes I'm on the latest radio. I noticed a difference, before i only ever got 2 bars of signal max, now it ranges from 0 to full.

If you continue with the 2.1 custom roms when the devs get the new kernal i'm sure there will be some nice features.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChosSimbaOne:
just a last question. When you get 1-4 days on the standard battery, do you turn it off at night? And how much do you use it during the day, for texting, calling, internet and so on?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
Stays on at night, for my alarm in the morning. I use it for calls for approximately 30-60 minutes every couple of days. Send about 10-20 texts a day. Usually check for updates to apps on a daily basis, as well as twitter updates and some browsing of the net when i'm away from computer. Not heavy use really.

Just make sure you turn stuff off when you're not using it - i.e. wifi, 3g, bluetooth, sync, backlight, etc (there is a power control widget for most of these, and a 3g widget separate)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheoKondak:
Mine might get 3 days with moderate-low usage.I have Villain Rom 5.3 and of course i keep closed bluetooth,wifi,gps,3g when i don't use them.Also i have Advanced Task Manager to kill all apps that might run on the background when i don't need them.

[Desire General] N4D5:
Hi guys, my little one was playing with phone and has locked my phone after doing the pattern unlock. Dont know how many times she has done it.

It is now saying unlock using email address.

I have done the following:

If you have forgotten the screen unlock pattern, you have up to five attempts to try and unlock your phone. If this fails, you can unlock your phone by entering your Google Account user name and password.

1. On the unlock screen, attempt to enter your unlock pattern five times.

2. When prompted to wait for 30 seconds, tap OK.

3. If the display goes off, press the POWER button to turn the display back on, and then press the bar on the lock screen and slide your finger down to unlock the screen.

4. Tap the Forgot Pattern button in the lower right corner when it appears.

5. Enter your Google Account name and password, and then tap Sign in.

When i do this it just says invalid username and password, just does not let me go past that screen i can still receive calls which is good for now.

I have tried turning phone off still same thing.

I dont know wat to do now to gain access to my phone. Only had it 2 days.

I have been online to make sure my email address and passwrod are correct and the gmail address is correct. Could it be a different address, as the only other address i use aint working either.

My internet connection is disabled too, am i totally fecked or can someone please advise best way. MANAGED TO GET INTERNET CONNECTED using hold power button still no good.

Thanks and fast reply would help majorly.

Re: **major screw up help pls**

when you have the login with Google account screen, put your Google mail address in as normally and for the password type "null"

excluding ""

give that a go. it will mean you won't need to reset your phone.
[Desire General] cgrec92:
You can hard reset the phone (starts the phone like new - will delete all user prefs and apps contacts etc) and will return it to the state it is in when it's new

Turn the phone off

Hold down VolDown and turn the phone on by pressing the Power Button (keep holding VolDown)

Follow the onscreen instructions to wipe your phone

For me the best navigation is the adjusted Motonav so it fits on a 480x800 screen. You tried it, but I doubt you als had the sdcard/motonav/license folder with the right file. That's why it keeps saying you need to insert the right SDcard.
