Honestly in my opinion I think android beats windows mobile in every way. It is a much more innovative operating system in my eyes and with rooting the posibilities are endless. If you could go without a keyboard I would say get a nexus. The droid's keyboard is very flat and honestly when I used one I found the touch screen keyboard just to be easier to use. If you have used one you'd understand what I mean. The flatness makes it very hard to type on for me atleast but I guess as you get used to it, it gets easier. Honestly though the best smart phone is all up to. He user. I think out of the phones you mentioned I would take the Droid over the other two. But if you think you could get used to an on screen keyboard think about getting a nexus one because from what I've seen they are great and incredibly fast phones.

Go for the droid - it's a great phone. :)
[General Topics] marduk79:
If you really need a keyboard, make sure you check out the droid in person before you buy it. I don't know if a keyboard could be any flatter. It's amazing how some people can distinguish one key from another. If you have big/thick fingers, this may be an issue. As far as keyboards go, the touch pro 2 is the one for me.
[General Topics] ukn0wnscaa:
Yeah seriously. Do look at the droid's keyboard before you buy it. When I play with one I nd up using the on screen keyboard more but I've also used one for all f 15 minutes total. Friend who has one can tell each key apart and loves it. It all comes down to opinion

Ive been using Android 2.2 on my Nexus One for the last week.

Now Ive got to say im not the biggest fan of the Nexus One, it has some tech issues that still need to be worked out, but I have had it since it first came out so it is an early model.

Android is great though, its really intuitive to use and the new version is really powerful.
[EVO 4G General] oxeneers:
For those of you Bay Area kids that are jonesing as hard as I am for our 4G service, I did some testing while at work in Palo Alto today (where Clear has rolled out a special developer pocket of 4G service). I took some screenshots with the EVO 4G as my test device - and published a little write-up on my blog.

Give it a read.

[EVO 4G General] clubtech:
Thanks for posting this.

I am from Santa Clara and i did notice how fast 4G can be.

However i did notice something with my 4G behavior and i was wondering if you noticed the same.

If i connect to 4G and the phone is idle (i.e. not using any app that requires data usage) the connection will drop and enter an endless reconnect loop where when it reconnects it will stay connected for 20 sec and drop again.

To avoid this i need to open an app that uses data (i.e. listen to internet radio) and then the connection will be stable.

Have you noticed this behavior as well?
[EVO 4G General] Slow Internet:
I don't care enough to prove you wrong about every site you listed but Droiddog (the android section of Phonedog) is, in my opinion, the best Android news and review site on the web. You're basically saying the the entire Internet thinks Apple can do no wrong and that's just wrong.

Droiddog does a good job at coverage but I was not speaking about John, mainly Noah who is so in love with the iPhone it hurts.

hi

i just got my tattoo and having been a Wimno and HTC user for around 2 yrs i thought it would be easy moving to android but its not so

just wanted to share my experience

the difference i see between my jade and tattoo are

interms of specs both are more or less the same

1. installing aps on the jade is easy just get the cab double click and the phone asks were to install and its done

but on the tatto this seems to be a big process i need to connect the phone to pc and use the installer this i did not like

2.but the touch screen is much much more smoother on the tattoo than on the jade

in terms of looks guys the jade looks much better that the tattoo ie the jade is much more sleek than the tattoo the tatto seems to be bulkier as per my experience

3. rooting i still dont understand i thing it will take me a lot of time its called HSPL on the winmo and i did it on the 2nd day of buying my jade its just one file run it on ur phone via sync 10 mins and its done ur ready to flash any rom u want and i have flashed 50+ roms on my jade till date (see my sign ull understand )

but here im kind sacred as i dont seem to understand the gold card and rooting etc.

and sorry to say this no offense intended but in the jade forum their are many many guys who came to help when(i help a lot of people too even now) asked for but here i can only count 3 guys who are very helpful and guided me thanks again to them:D

i am thrilled at having the tattoo but some how feel that i did a good thing on not disposing my jade i feel that Winmo and android are a different experiences and u cant really compare the two
[Click General] TheSSJ:
Well, you must take into account that most of the good folks are considering to buy another phone because of HTC's crappy support...did I say crappy? Sorry, that should have been "inexistant Support"!!! Really, I like my phone, but I never expected Bluetooth to not work (referring to file transfer) or having a camera where it's claimed to have Autofocus and then taking crappy pictures when trying to scan barcodes and such...man was I disappointed...

But it's fun trying to port ROMs or configuring options which normally aren't configurable (root makes it possible ;) )...

BTW: Rooting is needed to flash custom ROMs in the end...the procedure is rather simple:

1. Root the phone

2. Get an image file for recovery and flash it via a binary called "flash_image" (somewhere in the forum)

3. Put a custom ROM onto your SD card (in form of an update.zip)

4. Boot into recovery, make a nandroid backup (this backups almost every partition on your phone)

5. Flash the update.zip and reboot

When you'll do this more and more times this gets pretty easy (steps 1 and 2 have to be done only once)

Greets

P.S.: To be honest, if I should succeed to sell my old phone, I'll sell also my tattoo to get a Nexus One - as far as I can see Google will develop OS updates on this phone, so there will be never issues with the f***ing HTC corp. anymore...
[P3400 General] samkasino:
my phones on/off switch stopped working.

so i had to turn on the option for unlocking all buttons when device is in sleep mode so i can start the phone by pressing any button.

but one day i forgot to charge my phone and battery was discharged.

now i am unable to switch on my p3400 as power button is not working.

is there any way to start the phone without on/off switch.:(

then hit the reset button

Hey, I got my replacement phone only to find out that I can't root my OTA! Apparently the phone provided by Asurion was running 2.1 OTA as stock and the HBOOT version was 1.49? Does this mean that future versions will be running 1.49 or will it stay at 1.47, and for how long?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdexsw:
Same here. My New eris (not refurb) came in today with 2.1 (2.36.605.1 CL165907) with hboot 1.49 installed (PB0010000).

-------------------------------------
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSonicEmerald:
Might be a good thing or a bad thing. We might be able to get the 1.49 bootloader from these new 2.1 OTA phones and so allow us to root.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdexsw:
was my thought as well.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] homer169:
I wonder if they used to belong to people who couldn't wait and installed the leak, then claimed their phone broken so they could have them replaced. Refurbs that were once leak. Sound like a bad porno.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSonicEmerald:
I highly doubt that, because we don't have a 2.1 OTA update for the 1.49 hboot. If they didn't have that, then there's no way Asurion could have updated the leaks. If they DID update the leaks, then how come they aren't releasing it to the public?

V3 is the leak. The only difference is the hboot.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SellswordShev:
I'd like to learn more about this, PM / post here how you did it please. I haven't been keeping up with the other devs lately but last I checked thats the leak 2.1 rom's hboot version. Maybe there are some differences in your 1.49 and the leak 1.49, and we may be able to use that to our advantage, as there are ways to change the nvram that we found earlier.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t2noob:
Yeah 1.49 s-on bootloader out of the box won't get you root.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaskru:
anyone want to trade an eris with 1.49 for one with 1.46? lol :eek: had my hopes up this morning.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcsugrue:
I've returned three different Eris handsets with various 2.1 leaks on them. The first one I didn't ask for, Verizon just randomly sent me a new phone, so I swapped them. I thought maybe there was a recall, but apparently they're just idiots. The other two were because the trackballs failed. I've been afraid that they would go to refurb these, see the 2.1 leak, then charge me for the replacement.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaskru:
I ran through 6 bb storms, all for hardware issues, and I never got hit for the leaks I had left on them.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkopalek:
You mean v3 is the OTA? Only difference is the setup program to get the phone going (the OTA is intended to move from 1.5, the v3 leak is a complete wipe/flash).

HBOOT doesn't upgrade with OTA.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crax0r:
Do any of you want to see if this isn't just the 2.1 leak v3? Hope I can help. Here's all my info:

ANOTHER QUESTION: Why can't we just have the root running the HBOOT 1.49?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erisuser:
If there was root with hboot 1.49 that would mean that those of us on the OTA leak would get root too right?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
That's actually does seem to be a rather strange combination - it seems you have a locked bootloader but the OTA install.

Someone over at Androidforums posted a HTC ROM decoder ring tonight, and from all appearances, you have a mystery combination that does not appear natural.

My bet is on someone who went crazy with fastboot after the 2.1OTA, and wasn't paying attention.

Who wants to bet that techs for Asurion just FR the phone with the (2.1) stock recovery boot - that clears out phone activation as well as /data.

bftb0
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fritzel67:
There actually is a root with 1.49, provided you have 1.49 S-OFF (which is the engineering SPL). What I'm not clear on is where this came from (including how my phone went from .47/.48 to it. (I never installed a leak...just rooted 1.5 to 2.1 then ran custom ROM's...currently on leak4base)

From what I understand, 1.49 S-ON (leak users) cannot be updated with the engineering SPL because the phone sees it as the same or older and won't complete the update. And it can't be hacked, but it's digitally signed by HTC and any attempts to change it corrupt the authentication.

(I'm not 100% sure on all this so please correct any errors)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erisuser:
Does anyone know how I can get hboot 1.49 S-OFF?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverramsrt:
the rooted leak rom includes the 1.49.2 hboot. I see a lot of references to a 1.49 s-off hboot when it is actually

1.49.2

s-off, the 1.49 s-on hboot comes with the non-root leaks. you can't downgrade from a non-rooted leak because the software version.

check out the link in bftb0's post.

currently this can only be done when you root from 1.5 or the 1.5 to 2.1 ota.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erisuser:
So Im stuck without root until there is another OTA update, right?

If all new phones are getting hboot 1.49 that means that there will be a root with it, right?

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fritzel67:
What version do you have now? The version you have depends on which dev ROM you flashed your phone with (leak 1, 2, 3, root-ROM, etc). These are the images you rename PB00IMG.ZIP in order to root the phone. I don't believe there is a way to manually change your HBOOT version (correct me if I'm wrong here).

Just got my new Eris. Sonofabitch I didn't read all this stuff about the new HBOOT until after I ordered it! It came from Verizon with 1.49 S-ON and Android 2.1. It's not that fast, only 2.2 mflops, thats the same I was getting on my older, slower HTC Vogue with a really quick rom installed. We need to find a way to make this root thing happen! Or will we be re-rooted automatically when Froyo roms appear?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snyluc13:
this might be a stupid question but since rooted phones have the HBOOT 1.49.2 and leaked have 1.49.0; is there a way to extract the rooted hboot and update it to the leaked eris?

Most likely not, because when you transfer an hboot file from one rom to another it wont pass the signature verification

Hey guys,

long time reader but first time poster...I did a search and couldn't really find a solution for my problem. Whenever I put my phone on vibration and change it back to normal my system/ring volume only goes up to 13%. I would than manually change it to 100% but whenever I receive calls, messages, notifications, etc on my phone the system/ringer volume seems to be "stuck" at 13% because it's very low (even tho it says 100% in Sound & Display). My only solution so far is to soft reset my phone and that usually fixes the problem but it gets annoying having to do this every time I change between vibrate to normal profiles. I've tried turning on/off the Single volume option but it didn't work either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance :D

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidlicious:
I just wanted to know what everyone's opinions on the Nexus One design is... personally, I love the phone and its functions but I can't seem to get past its design (especially the back) and the dual color scheme.

Am I the only person who feel this way?

I currently have an all-black slider case covering the entire phone from the back and that seems to make it look more "professional."
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMaverick50:
i really like the design, I like the color scheme and the feel, it feels heavy and sturdy. I really liked my MT3G and I was hoping for the same type of thing but bigger and generally speaking i think i got that. I like the screen's look (not the fact that its old and kind of sucks) and the dedicated buttons on the bottom, i even think its looks good from the side, and "Google" on the back is nice too.

The color scheme is a bit unusual but I think it looks really good. Of course, I know whats inside so maybe that makes the outside look awesome to me.

The one thing is the trackball, after seeing optical trackpads i think those look better but ive never used one so i couldnt say for sure.

sorry for all the gushing i guess i just dont have much bad to say about the form, and after froyo (and knowing the official version will be even smoother), i dont really have much to complain about software-wise either ( except the god-awful copy and paste)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Henchman:
I love the design.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidlicious:
Yeah, I am completely opposite. I know some people absolutely hate the trackball but I love it, especially when it lights up and breathes; definitely good eye candy. But the dual color scheme and that huge camera lens cover is... meh IMO.

So I guess I am the only one then. :S

I absolutely love the design. It's near perfect for me, the colors, build quality, solid materials. It's literally the nicest phone I think I've had imo. When I play with an incredible it really reinforces this. :-)

And the track ball too, I'm one of the few who like and prefer the track ball, use it for web browsing all the time. Try using the optical track pad on the incredible for selecting links, then come back to the trackball and see how much easier and faster the trackball is over the track pad.
