I don't think anyone is down right denying that there are good aspects to the new iPhone. The screen is far better then anything currently on the market, and the battery life is just down right amazing for a smartphone (though I would like to see it tested as it's hard to believe). The 1ghz processor is nice as well, although not really superior to the other current devices out. It's the fact that the new iPhone isn't massively superior to the other new devices, but there are people heralding it as some tech world shattering revolution when it's nothing more then another high end mobile device. Yes, it has some nice things about it, but it's not ground breaking by any means. It has good points about it, as well as bad points, just like any device. It's just the fact that people are making such noise about it when it really isn't as good as it's hyped up to be. It's the same situation whenever Apple comes out with ANYTHING. People that don't know any better run around yelling "OMG APPLE HAS DONE IT AGAIN! THEY INVENTED THIS AND THAT AND IT'S A REVOLUTION!!". It gets very annoying after a while watching fanatical Apple people being so pretentious and down right insane about something when they have NO clue what so ever about the actual technology behind it.
[Desire General] benko286:
OK guys I need your help, I think that Desire is better, many friends already asked me why, it is hard to say for me what! I know that software is, but what exactly in software(except widgets, I know for that;), any other advantage over iPhone 4?
[Desire General] cez10:
customization is the main one

also much better UI, much more free stuff, many soft updates
[Desire General] samac92:
Who does this apart from Apple? Can you point me to an example? (aside from Apple themselves :P)

So you know the Desire is better but you don't know why?

So really you don't know it is better at all, you just think it's better because people on here told you so?

Customisation on Android is one thing that's better. Other than that there isn't much else that the average users cares about. All they know is that the iPhone is easier to use, has better apps and better games.

much more free stuff? like what? aside from free satnav on android (awesome) the iphone has far more free apps and games than android (that is fact, not opinion)
[Desire General] plasmafire:
Ummm.. No, doesn't do anything that my old HTC didn't do.

Awesome iPhone game, things like this we don't get on Android.

The iPhone has thousands of 3D games, yet I can't find a single decent 3D game for Android. (please point me to one if they exist)

256MB RAM and what is likely to be an underclocked A4 CPU < 1GHz Snapdragon and 576MB RAM

iPhones have always been, and will always be, underpowered. They just make it work, regardless.

I personally despise Apple's OS though. Can't use it, don't want to use it. Every time I look at an iPhone homescreen it reminds me of windows 95. So dull and unimaginative.

And that bookshelf thing they have... ugh. I don't understand where this alleged 'cool factor' comes from. It all screams 50-something Bob Dylan fan to me!!
[Desire General] Aitese:
Ah samac92...the worst kind of fanboy...an uninformed one.

Why are you even here? I don't understand. You seem to not like Android phones and yet here you are. You even went to the trouble of creating an account.
[Desire General] TeCH-Guruz:
Apple have a massive advantage when it comes to os stability as they only have to make the os work on 3 devices with a maximum of 8 variants being ipod touch, iphone and ipad, and that is why it all just works.

With android I have had loads of apps that force close or just dont work I understand that this is due to many different phones using android and some apps are developed specifically for certain devices.
[Desire General] tuatha:
Agreed. The Android Market is like the wild west at the moment. Bad developers and platform fragmentation don't help any. Much as I dislike apple's policies, the more stringent quality control is a definite bonus.

I don't play games or anything, so most of this has very little effect on me, but I do fear for people who aren't tech-oriented.

They say fragmentation is their next big priority though so hopefully there won't be too much more of this.
[Desire General] @ngel:
Someone already said that the only flaw in iPhone 4 is that runs Apple crapware? :D
[Desire General] mortuus82:
lol apple is a joke their os is pure garbage.
[Desire General] samac92:
So I'm a fanboy because I can see the benefit of having an iPhone?

I own a Desire, that's why I am here. I chose Android over the iPhone, but that doesn't mean I have to deny everything good about the iPhone. I am simply pointing out the positives to the Android fanboys who clearly have never touched an iPhone.

And to the post about iPhones being underpowered, this makes no difference to the end user. The iPhone feels far more responsive than any android phone I've ever used.
[Desire General] jannen:
Theres plenty of competition out there, Apple will hold its share of the market for sure, but there are so many great better and better phones coming up. Has anyone seen and tried the screen of Dell Streak etc. Its good for anyone there are options. HTC Desire is good enough for me for long time to come.
[Desire General] alialo88:
Personally I'm looking forward to seeing what happens later in the year with dual core Snapdragons. Bloody 24 month contracts.
[Desire General] jannen:
Yes...24 months is quite long time, I'm in the same boat. But with all the development with Android Desire won't be something to be shamed of in two years time. The hardware is still top notch. I still have my Compact IV which looks really cute - I'm just wondering how to update the Rom. It's 2,5 yrs old can't believe it!
[Desire General] Necroman_AI:
Well in all Europe, without contract, the unlocked Desire is far cheaper that unlocked iPhone - and everybody knows this!
[Desire General] TeCH-Guruz:
In the uk 16GB iphone is £450 and a desire with 16GB microsd is pretty much the same desire£420 sd card £30

Hi,

How can i change the softkeys on the touch 2? I have a tmobile one and i want to change the browser button to opera on its own.

The ultimate solution would be to remove the t-mobile branding. Is this possible yet on this phone? Maybe changing to the latest HTC unbranded rom.

Thanks

To Change Softkey to Camera, follow these steps:

HTC Touch 2 - Change softkeys

With Registery Editor go to:

HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila2D\Home

ORIGINAL LEFT SOFT KEY:

"Sk1" value="Contacts"

"Sk1CmdParam" value="CONTACTS"

"Sk1Cmd" value="\windows\poutlook.exe"

ORIGINAL RIGHT SOFTKEY:

"Sk2" value="Internet"

"Sk2Cmd" value="\windows\brandedbrowser.exe"

FOR CAMERA CHANGE TO:

"Sk2" value="Camera"

"Sk2Cmd" value="\windows\camera.exe"

For other programs, just type in the location & filename.exe

Hope that helps

How about getting a unbranded ROM from this forum,you can find a ROM without CoPilot and other programs.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satani:
i just received my G1, well 1.6 was installed, but: No WLAN, No SD, No Bluetooth and no File-Transfer with Win7 x64. So i'm thinking of a flash, but how?

I wanted to get diagnostics mode, but what is the capture-key?

any other possibilities to rescue this device? (I think, the SD-Card driver was somehow deleted. Tried a software-Wipe, but it didn't help.

I hope someone can help me.

Thx in advance.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejorguille:
Well thats sorta like asking to get into a box sealed off with ducktape using the mailbox=p. You are going to need an sdcard so you can root it. Find any microsdcard and load up rc29, root it, then flash some custom firmware on top. If you don't have an sdcard, then you can't set up root therefore no new roms. The only thing that would work without an sdcard is ADB, but you need root to do something meaningful like pushing an app, etc..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArniPL:
I got similar problem.. My SD card slot seems to be dead. Android and recovery as well, doesn't see any SD card slot so the SD card can't be mounted. And yes, I've already tried with another card. No luck.

So there's my question that OP already asked: Is there any way to flash update.zip without sdcard?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejorguille:
Short answer: No

Long answer: you can change specific parts of a rom without an sdcard (kernel, apps), but not an entire rom or update.zip.

That's what I thought... Unfortunately. So I guess it's time to buy a Sapphire. ;)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saprano614:
i have a program for windows called android commander. it has the option to flash an update. i dont know if this will help but it might. i found it on XDA somewhere. i just dont remember where.

edit: it also has some other really cool features, like push and pull and copy. great if you want to push an apk to the system/app folder

edit here is the link for download of the of the version that works for me http://androidcommander.cyf.pl/?file_id=1
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satani:
ok, gonna try that android-commander.

If even a hard-reset doesn't bring up the 3 issues, i think, these are Hardware-Errors. (it COULD also be, that the "drivers" from these parts have been removed/deleted from the rom by the previous owner, but a hard-reset WOULD restore the missing "drivers" or am i wrong? (i have not much knowledge about Linux, i'm more a Windows-Freak.)

I mean is it possible to "remove" parts of the "drivers" from the ROM and the Flash/EEPROM that even after restore the part would still be missing?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sturmeh:
Until it's rooted you can't make major firmware/bootloader modifications just by sticking a usb cable into it. :P
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satani:
you mean "unless it's rooted", 'cause i think, it's not rooted (how to find out, if it is?)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sturmeh:
Turn the phone off, hold down the CAMERA button read off the top four lines.

That will tell you if it is using a custom spl.

Alternatively you could go in the rom and type su in the terminal, that would also show if it's rooted.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satani:
i tried around with the Android-Commander as said before, i also connected the phone but I was not able to copy ANY data to the phone or create any folder anywhere (so not even a custom ringtone or wallpaper), for rooting is a SD-card required, which is not useable due to (maybe) hardware defect, so i ended up the following:

I agreed with the seller to reship the G1 and he refunds my money.

From that short time playing with G1 and Android, i say as conclusion:

Well, the touchscreen works far better than any Windows-Phone, but the Compatibility with Windows is nearly completely missing - and so some for me required aspects of that phone. So i'll just buy another Windows-Device. (i's easier to flash, spl or unlock and you have better and easier possibilites or modifying/customizing your phone.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satani:
that might be true, but pay more than 150 for a phone, I only use as secondary phone for a few internet/data-activities is, considered the fact, that in 6 weeks, I'm unemployed again, a bit much to ask for, either a complete new phone or a cheap (ie less than 150 bucks) phone, that has wlan, 3g and a hardware-keyboard - rest is irrelevant - that is being used as secondary phone.

Sure, if the G1 would have been fully working, it would have been a nice device (not a replacement to my Xperia, of course, as the G1 has a minus in resolution compared to WVGA), but so is only to note: if you want a cheap Android-Phone, wait another 3-6 months, there are a lot of them coming out and so the elder ones (magic and g1) should go down in price a bit.

Sometimes, prices on ebay drop around 50 bucks within 3 months - checked on that.

It's great that we have found a way to wake the phone using different buttons but i really still would like trackpad to wake the phone. It does work in amskgh's cyanogen mod port. Is there a way of finding out how or what exactly allows it and porting it over to any rom?

As I said, it is for CM. (you don't need it as it is integrated in CM ROM already). On other ROMs you will probably end with endless boot. Needs work.

[Desire General] IIIIkoolaidIIII:
Just a thought, the trackpad is used to take a picture when pressed, if you kind find the key reference in the camera app, can that then be translated back to be used to wake the phone. Use the reference in the same bravo-keypad.kl file?
[Desire General] deovferreira:
The trackpad sends BUTTON_MOUSE form the kernel, maybe that helps.
[Desire General] IIIIkoolaidIIII:
Then guess add a line to the bravo-keypad.ll file with that and the correct number, wonder if it the same as the N1.

[Android Software Development] derekwilkinson:
Hello,

I need beta testers running Mac OS X to test a new application.

This application is for people who are either uncomfortable or unwilling to use Terminal and ./adb for pushing files to their device.

This first beta version is just to test how it works on different computers. It pushes the file to the sdcard of the phone using ./adb. The only input needed from the user is to select the file.

Later releases will let the user choose which folder on the device to copy to, but the next release will probably just involve pushing .apk to the /system/app folder.

Please let me know the results.

http://derekcwilkinson.com/PushFile.zip

Beta 2:

http://derekcwilkinson.com/Push_File_Beta_2.zip

Change Log:

Added option to choose the location that the file is to be pushed to.

Added Recovery application

Added Reboot application.

Planned Updates:

Pull File - Ready

Device Backup - PM me if you know a good way to backup with ./adb (mine is taking too long)

Device Backup w/SD - PM me if you know a good way to backup with ./adb (mine is taking too long)

Install .apk - testing

Uninstall .apk - testing

Restore Backup - going to take awhile (need to get device backup working first)

Restore Backup w/SD - going to take awhile (need to get device backup working first)

Flash ROM - testing

Hi colleagues,

I would very much like to have the Safari browsing experience using my HD2 with Opera 9.7 installed.

Thank you in advance for your help and I hope I made myself understood with my poor english.
[HD2 General] BLAST3RR:
Look up the user agent for the Safari browser and put that in the advanced options part of Opera.

You make it sound easy, I'm not saying it's not, I found Safari IPhone user agent : Mobile Safari 1.1.3 – iPhone but in opera:config under User agent I can only find Spoof User ID with a numeric option. What am I missing ?
[HD2 General] ciolan:
no ideas ?
[HD2 General] Xp3RiM3nT:
this is a bad idea, iphone versions of webpages often take advantages of features only found on safari fro iphone. since oepra wont support those features you will just see badly format pages with links that your phone wont understand to video content and similar.

but if you really want to do it use opera 10 instead of opera as installed on the hd2 as it supports user agent changing.
