It's all relative. Granted, the online only version is 2.99 a month for streaming, but they don't anticipate you to be traveling with it. The car/home units that hook up to your stereo cost 15 a month. So, what's to stop somebody from turning off service on their car/home unit and going with a cheaper route such as the cell phone? When you think about it, 12.95 is still pretty decent.
[Nexus One General] btmec:
One draw back to going through your phone only is that you loose nationwide coverage. I can be out in the middle of nowhere and still listen to Opie and Anthony even when I don't have cell phone coverage.
[Nexus One General] Mi|enko:
With the cell phone, I can go through tunnels, under bridges, and into the mountains and not drop my signal due to line of site problems. ;-) One man's trash. . .

Ps. Not to mention into the city. I live in Seattle and when I'm driving downtown, my Sirius signal always fades in and out as I pass buildings and such. All places I listed (tunnels, bridges, and in downtown Seattle) I get 3-4 bars of 3G signal on my cell phone, while driving on the highway 'I-90' through the mountains I do flux between 2-3 bars of 3G and occasional flip to 3-4 bars of edge. . . but realistically, I can still stream music with edge.
[Nexus One General] btmec:
It depends on where you go I suppose. I do a lot of outdoor recreation in the middle of nowhere and there are time I can't get any signal on my phone but I always have XM.
[Nexus One General] Mi|enko:
Completely agree. Some options might not be available to everyone. . . like living in an apartment facing the North-East sky when you want Dish Network. I had to wait out my lease (a year) before I could move into a place that faced South-West. lol

this is just personal opnion, but this version blows away the 3/31 build. i juss had issues with data not wrkn but i fixed it with the tips in the threads. I hear people talk of stability. well, to me, this new sense version moves way faster and smoother. really. juss make sure to cut off the 3d harware box..it isnt wrkn and will slow things up. i have more features working in this install than the 3/31 build.

my last install didnt load all the folders right and i never saw a keyboard selector or update. checked thru everywhere in device, no luck..but it still worked, i juss couldnt auto update and i was getting hung up trying to change the files. Now, with this new install...everything is perfect..lol i know have "andboot" folder....my last install named it "Android" and no matter how many different ways to change folder name or replace, it didint work. Now all i gotta do is auto update..which i did with this install also..wrks perfect. now my my dual boot wont recognize it...i tried to different versions the 1.05 and 1.06 Gene Y dual boot cabs, no luck..not worried though, i figure it soon enough.

almost half the day been on Sense...i always keep a charger close by. lol for all the skeptical people, wifi does work..i tested it..its pickn up signals...my 03/31 install didnt wrk..as far as wifi goes...im making and recieving phone calls...juss set your calls and txts and emails to vibrate...it works..all my data wrkn perfect...i got opera mini 5 up here along with a ton of stuff i downloaded..lol

A smart move to do is to use your Astro Explorer and press menu to back up data/apps..u can bck up all ur dwnloaded stuff from the market or wherever..and be able to reinstall them if u ever reinstall a new xdandroid version or somethng. ive did install/uninstall numerous times already..so knowing i still have my programs backed up is good. get opera if u havent....its way faster thn the android one. i got programs im dying to use once everything wrks on this build like my morse coder or the virtual walkie talkie apps..i cant say enuff how truly amazed with this forum, its members, and the Feats being accomplished here. and they do this for free...Unbelievable...THANK YOU DEVELOPERS N ALL WHO MADE THIS BUILD POSSIBLE. i cant wait to show this off to my pops and friends back home...ima blow their mind...

Im staying with Sense 2.1........cuz IT MAKES SENSE...lmao

to me this is better than last version and moves faster, at least on my tilt2 it does...oh and if u want true speed readings, get the Speedtest.net app frm da market..its free... if u think im pulling your chain on this build, juss look at da sig..im on android sense now on xda app..wit no problems..im goin crazy ova here on how cool this is...i just joined this site not too long ago n already got my phone on a whole new level of being upgraded..i got all da fixes. 3D DRIVERS...DA LIST Goes on and on..too cool

i think I've confirmed that rooted apps and WiFi tethering works on this build. i downloaded barnacle wifi tethering app from the marketplace that said ur device needed to be rooted in order to work. well it seems to wrk. i know wifi wrks for sure and data, so therotically should. i gave my old tilt to my mom so cant test right this second but the program runs fine and commands say its broadcasting successfull. goodnight..lol

demandarin- would you say the new build is stable for the majority of Android features? What's your opinion on using it as your default OS system for the Tilt 2?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Running_Roti:
hey

this is a great version and i think its basically usable for people who arent dying for the GPS, bluetooth, and camera. the one thing that is killing it for me though is the lack of the speaker and headphone jack working. that is the only features preventing me from using it all the time.

i know these guys are making great progress but does anyone have any idea when theyre gonna at least solve that issue? because im sure that would bump up its mass appeal

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] demandarin:
its pretty stable, to me. it isn't my default OS yet but keeping it on longer and longer everyday. I be pushing da limits on this build. as far as apps and modding Android within itself. essential functions wrk like being able to make/receive calls, txts,data,WiFi...I can even do WiFi tether wit app I found on marketplace. I had marketplace wrkn but I messed around and now its saying serve error but my gsm and data wrk fine...marketplace acts funny at times..lol ill get it wrkn again soon, already deleted data img. I get tired of reading all my settings and apn and downloads..I hve alot..there's some good tool apps on mrktplce

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
I personally think its SO annoyingly slow. I'm constantly waiting for screens and lists to populate, and it makes me feel like I am using WinMo again. Contacts take forever to load, and the sms app, takes FOREVER to populate. Then when you're trying to do something sense will force close itself, and then you find yourself staring at a black screen with "htc" on it, and you have to wait for it to completely start Sense again. Personally if I want sense UI, ill use WinMo ROM with it, at least everything works that way.

The AOSP 2.1 is WAY smooth, and SO fast, and a more "official" release. 110Mb free ram vs 45Mb sounds WAY better to me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] demandarin:
I tried to get that version but the link was messed up or actn up...ill tke your advice and try it out..

Sent from my Hero using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] eghoti1:
ok well that is a damning summary coming straight from the horses mouth! Thanks for all the advice everyone, sounds like AOSP 2.1 is the way to go for stability. Can't wait to try this out. I won't have to switch between my G1 and Avantage for much longer.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] demandarin:
i downloaded that 2.1 no sense last night after i posted. I installed it juss like any other build but couldnt get it to finish the haret loading. 3/31 2.01and the 4/23 2.1 w/Sense builds i had no problem installing and running. I even checked the folders and it was all correct, in the andboot folder with all the necessary files in it. Even updated the 2.1 AOSP b4 running it the first time. the first time right after haret started up, it got hung up in the beginning..so i rebooted to try again. this time the haret ran the loader all the way till the end and got hung up right b4 the startup screen. said something about trying to init. pid or something. it kept on searching and repeating the command but no luck. i shut it down after i seen it aint gonna load up..lol i really do wanna try this build also but get tired of uninstalling and installing and setting up all my settings again. i have a ton of downloaded apps for the android already. after no success, i just installed the sense one again. Wrks wit no problems..lol

Theres ways to make it run faster within the os itself. I found alot of good memory manager apps and startup auditors. The reason i believe it runs laggy at times is because of all the programs always starting up without u even doing anything. U gotta kill apps all the time. I cant remember the name, but i have this memory app tool that lets u set a minimum and maximum MB for ur programs. For example i set it to 50mb, the program starts killing off apps in order of priority in order to maintain at least 50mb threshhold. works pretty well to me. i might try that 2.1 no sense build again another day but im stickin with the Sense build for now. It has potential..lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Don't get me wrong, Im not saying you shouldn't try it. :) Different people have different tastes, you might LOVE it! :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Ill build a new cab within the next day or 2. You're not the only one that had problems with the AOSP .cab.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] demandarin:
thanks,..im sure we all will be Patiently waiting..lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Running_Roti:
yeah im glad theyre working on it either way, but ill only start using it as my full time OS when they get that feature in at least. but it sure is fun to mess around with in the meantime :cool:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] demandarin:
yeah, i believe its gonna come soon. I be away from my phone alot and need to hear it when a call comes in or i get txts, or "BACKGROUND Notifications"..lol that made me laugh...thinkin of somethin someone else told me in another thread.. I believe Reefer posted up the new cab for the 2.1 non-sense version. I havent gottn to try it out yet. Im still havin fun with the Sense version. Plus finding out how to cut the Sense UI off is a big plus for me. Now everytime my device boots into Android, It asks me what UI i want to use. Either Home, Sense, or Launcher. if i use home or launcher , it loads right up. Not like when using Sense and its loading forever. I like it cuz i have the option to choose. :cool:

[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
Your friend can feel the difference of .5mm? hmm makes me wonder what else he can feel that small? :) LOL

Sounds like some kind of envy...

Anywho...Of you have held a phone in a slider case like an INcase of Casecrown slider case then you will get a sense of what it would feel like. Go to Tomobile and hold an HTC HD2 and then think of a rounder back. It's not much difference. I think it the larger back will actually give it a better feel.
[EVO 4G General] chococrazy:
I had a flexishield on my hero, and he though that was the actual phone, and then we laid them side by side without cases, and kept running his finger a long it. he wouldn't settle that they both where about the same.

Let alone to say he thinks that the iPhone has a better processor than the N1.
[EVO 4G General] bobdude5:
my apple friends are soo annoying sometimes and they dont even own iphones >_< ooh all these companys are copying apple, apple was the first, the nexus one is copying the shape of the iphone and the look, they revolutionized it bla bla bla

my nexus one has a faster, better looking, they werent the first touch screen and even if they were Ford was the first car but an Audi is a million times better, if anything iphone is copying everyother phone out there by adding multi tasking, copy paste, video camera, and compass while other phones had that for years

i dont hate the iphone i like it, its a nice device with a great appstore, but the iphone owners can be a bunch of arrogant douche bags >/

[HD2 Accessories] celestial123:
hi guys,

i have searched forum, and realized that this is asked, but there is no clear results yet.

some people say get higher speed even with comparison to lower classes. and some people share their writing speed with adaptor, not on hd2.

i have sandisk 8gb class 2 sd card. and planning to replace with transcend 16 gb class 6. and if i will replace i will do this only for music tab. because its slowness drives me crazy.

anyway, what do you say guys? do you recommend me to buy new one? and can class 6 sd card owners share their opinions? but please, in terms of hd2, not adaptor speed.

thanks
[HD2 Accessories] xeebot:
I have a class 2, and to play graphic intensive games they have to be installed on the phone since the class 2 is too slow. I don't have a class 6, but I would think it would be more than enough for what the phone does.

My music was loading up slowly too till I put them in the correct file structure: Music/Artist/Album/XX.mp3

Also, I've noticed the phone performs better with .mp3 files rather than .wma or something else.
[HD2 Accessories] craig540:
are you saying to put all music files in that directory.
[HD2 Accessories] pool7979:
have u tried formatting ur class 2 sd card to fat32 format with 16kb cluster ? Do a full format if u haven been using 16kb cluster. works for me. dont have lagging over at music tab.

im using 8gb class 2 card given stock.
[HD2 Accessories] xeebot:
Create a folder on the SD card called Music Then a folder in there for the Artist (Madonna, Jay-Z etc.) and another folder in artist for their Albums and put the mp3 for that album in there. So you'll end up creating a bunch of folders for each artist and each of their albums.

So your file structure on your SD card would be: Music/Artist(name)/Album(name)/MP3

This sped up my music tab considerably. BTW, if you use Windows Media Player or DoubleTwist to sync music, they will do the same thing and put them in the file structure I mentioned. Make sure they are mp3 files, I had problems with wma.

Hope this speeds things up for you guy's, like it did for me.:)
[HD2 Accessories] celestial123:
first of all i want to thank you for your replies guys.

@pool7979

what is 16 kb cluster and how can i find out whether i am using 16kb cluster or not. secondly what is full format?

thank you
[HD2 Accessories] ojmalik:
For me, going from the stock 16gb class 2 that came with the phone to an 8gb class 6 made a huge difference. I have garmin mobile xt loading from the SD card, and program start up, address and POI search, map display and redraw is tremendously faster. Picture and album browsing is also much faster. I'm thinking about getting a 16gb class 10 to see if it'll make even more difference.
[HD2 Accessories] malex1:

Your 8Gb may be formatted differently to how your 16gb was.
[HD2 Accessories] fallenmonk:
ok so basically, the higher the class, the faster the card ?.
[HD2 Accessories] pool7979:
hi sorry for late reply. what i did was insert sd card into pc. thrn right click format. from there i can set what cluster size it is . i think its something to do with.how data can be arranged/store in terms of size setting. i once read using 16kb seems to be the most optimum setting for winmo. seems to work for me.

to me class dun really matter for mobile phones as reading and writing on card are not that intensive. i would rather use a class 6 on a camera or act as usb thumbdrive instead with portable reader. ;)
[HD2 Accessories] malex1:
class speed

Basically the class rating means the minimum speed of the card. Class 2 must have a minimum speed of 2Mb per second, class 4 -4Mb, class 6-6Mb class 10-10Mb.

With a good quality card, the actual speed can be many times this, so with some makes, you will see an advertised speed ofup to 32Mb per second for a class 6, but in normal use the maximum is usually just under 20Mb per second.

So you may think a faster card is better, but this is not always the case. Just because a card can read at 20Mb per second, this does not mean a mobile phone can transfer data to or from the card at this speed. These sort of read/write speeds are designed for high end digital cameras.

A mobile phone does not need speeds this high, even to watch HD video. So anything above a Class 4 is a waste.

It is much better to purchase a good quality branded class 2 or 4 card.
[HD2 Accessories] madbird:
or you use a software like the free/donation ware mp3tag. it will handle all aspects of working with mp3 tag's. i change the file structure of my 500+ mp3 files, from 'all in one folder' to the folder sorted format xeebot mentoined, with only a few mouse clicks.

and i can confirm that this speedup mp3 handling alot, music player is ready in 2-5 seconds after selecting the tab (before it taks up to 30 sec. and more).

another good program to prevent freezing and hanging of music tab is mp3val (also free/donation ware). it check your mp3 files for errors in the filestructure itself, and fix them if possible.

the definiton of the class/speed of sd cards can be found at the sd association website. the problem is to know what speed the controller of your device can do!. its useless to have a class 6(mb/s) card when your controller in the hd2 only do 4mb/s speed. and as far as i know htc makes always a big secret of facts like that :).

[Windows Mobile Software Development] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Hi guys, I've never posted in this forum, but here's to hoping it doesn't get moved or whatever. This seemed to be the most logical place to ask. I've been google searching for a few days now looking for a good sky/constellation map. I only have to drive about 20 miles out of town to be completely free of light pollution, and my girl and I find it quite relaxing. The last time I was in a planetarium was elementary school, so I don't quite remember where all the different constellations, stars, and planets that are visible with the naked eye are.

I saw some applications purporting to do just what I'm looking for via google, but I'm wary to install jack **** on my phone without reading some feedback from XDA. I've done a lot of cool **** with these phones, and haven't bricked a one of them thanks to y'all. I'm basically looking for an app that saves the star map to microSD (EDGE-only out in the country, sometimes GPRS if you REALLY get out there), and sets the view of the map based on GPS data. Also, it must support a screen resolution of 480 x 800.

Have any of y'all used such software in the past, and if so, what might your favorites be? I didn't even try to XDA-Google this, because I have NO clue as to the proper terminology for such an application.
