[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Thanks for the input... appreciated.

I fully understand and agree in what you are saying.

If we look at the Nokia N97 which although not the best phone camera on the market it is known for taking surprisingly good low light photography.

Apart from the fact it has a dual LED for flash photography it's construction and lens is quite similar.

Taking aside the similarities, if you look at it's F-Stop it is slightly higher at f2.8 against an f2.6 on the i9000.

It's not much different I agree but even if it were one would expect low light or fast shooting to be on par with the N97.

I've seen shots taken with the N97 and was quite impressed at it's low light attitude.

Rarely during the day/night was the flash required.

I'm exceptionally pleased at the i9000's aperture/F-Stop and Focal range.

I for one am now not as concerned it does not have a dedicated Flash. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] latraviata:
I'm quite excited about the camera as well. I almost never use the flash on my Omina I because I get much better results by playing around with the camera settings. The only problem is that the camera seems to have trouble focusing in low light/low contrast situations. With flash, the photos look washed out and are still out of focus. Hopefully the manual focus option and "fast auto focus" the gsmarena review mentions mean that it is possible to get good low light photos with the Galaxy S even without flash.

That said, I'm put off by the reports about video recording being choppy/crashing and the camera failing to load.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
Same here a bit... I saw videos of the Samsung Wave camera 720p video and they look better than the samples of the Galaxy S :(

thanks...i have so missed my hd2 screen size....
[HD2 General] PoisonWolf:
Whether WP7 or Android will come to HD2 is still unknown. Sure, everyone will say it's only a matter of time, but I'll be straight with you and tell you it's as good as a 50/50 chance.

Having said that, it's a phone. Keep it or sell it. It's your call.

[HD2 General] jasecloud4:
If you want a real man's phone get the HD2...lolol

All joke's aside, it's really a matter of personal opinion: the HD2 uses WinMo, and with the latest ROM versions out there things run pretty smooth.

But if you want Android, then keep the Nexus. In the end, the basic features are the same, it's all about what feels right for you. (God I sound like a hippie...jk lol.)

[HD2 General] minogue:
From my Personal Experience, i had a nexus one Which i sold and later bought the HD2, i have applied almost every rom available and text messaging lags a lot, also Stock rom is too slow and other roms are smooth and fast but out of the nowhere freeze and give me major problems.

it has better hardware than the nexus but to tel you the thruth, the nexus one with stock everything is so much faster than the HD2, all i can say is try it for yourself, im however swicthing back to the nexus or mytouch slide, because even my g1 was a lot faster than this phone with much less hardware, and i am not joking neither do i mean to say windows mobile sucks, but it is just for me.

if i get flamed, too bad!

[HD2 General] hiddengopher:
get the Nexus. I traded my HD2 for one and love it.

Android is so much faster and is so much easier to use than WinMo.

That being said, if you need it for business, go with the HD2.
[HD2 General] zole2112:
I had a Nexus 1 for 2 months then sold it and bought my HD2, I love them both, the Nexus 1 is more like an iPhone as far as user friendly. Win Mobile is harder to set up and change but much more powerful. I've contemplated getting another Nexus 1 but the HD2 hardware is so damn sweet, I think I'm staying with the HD2 now and waiting for the HD3 or something else.

[G1 General] chrisgto4:
Having a problem where the phone just locks up for about 2 minutes..pretty frequently. I have flashed all my different backups to make sure its not rom based. Even flashed new Tom's to make sure it wasn't just my backups. Flashed a dwang 1.6, did no tweaking, no new apps, only Tom and still happens 1.6, 2.1 does it on all of them. sometimes I lose my touch ability on the screen. All buttons will still be working, and I have to use the trackball. In recovery it freezes also sometimes...before and after wipe of 4 (no partitions).

Anyone got any ideas. I fear it may be hardware related.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MichaelWestin:
First, thanks for taking the time to post a good compilation for some beginners like myself.

This is my first android phone, however I have been following the progression of the OS for some time.

As you stated above,

"With Root, you can flash a build of Android that someone else has created and/or customized."

I have seen on other forums, such as the hero forums, that there are several different choices for custom roms. I tried to see what the main "features" were but they seemed a little too technical for me at this point.

What are the main differences between different custom roms in terms of how they function or what they do differently, aside from OS versions?

Also, I do see that certain roms indicate they have the Sense UI turned off or tuned down. For someone who has only used stock roms which have sense already on, what does a reduced/disabled version of sense look like?

Thanks again!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RN-Dude:
I read that the Sprint OTA update that fixes the SD card issue breaks the first exploit for root, but that the Unrevoked exploit can still root even if the OTA exploit has been applied. Since I'm having SD card issues, I wanted to go ahead and accept the OTA update I initially declined. I tried the option to check for a firmware update, and it says there are none for me. I also tried the HTC software update, and it says I was already up to date. Does this mean the update got applied somehow already? Is there a way I can tell? Am I doing the wrong thing to try to force the update? My phone says "Firmware version 2.1-update1". But I'm still having SD card issues.

I'm also wondering if this thing can be unrooted, in case I need Sprint to handle it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adeyo:
Thanks Shidell...much needed!!!

I am interested in a future update to froyo 2.2 w/ its new features, removing a few stock sprint apks and mainly, replacing the painful htc sense with AOSP. I much prefer the new AOSP launcher and 3d app drawer. UNTIL THEN, i would probably just like to remove some apks and add in some that may not be allowed from sprint (google nav? usb tether? etc) and maybe disable sense (like above).

What do you recommend? Toast Root, unrevoked sticky apk? Should i wait to root altogether?? Do i need to avoid future OTA's etc? or would rooting now be the way to go to protect future root options?? i just don't know what to do! :confused:

Thanks for your thread! Can't wait to utilize the evo in all its glory!! My vogue just couldn't cut it anymore.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thecodemonk:
If you want to "unroot":

http://geekfor.me/evo/ruu/evo_ruu_1326511/

This is an exe that just flashes the phone back to the way it was when it was shipped (you'll lose all your data on the device, but your SD card should be untouched).

Also, to check for the update, you want to look under the Menu>Settings>About Phone>Software Info>Software Number

The OTA changed the last digit from a .1 to a .6.

Hope that helps!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adeyo:
sticky???

agreed, sticky please???? that would be great
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shidell:
In regard to rooting and ROM customization, one primary difference (always) is that you have root access, so that's something to keep in mind. From there, the differences usually include what version of Android you're using (Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo, etc.) and then what software packages are included.

"Sense UI", for example, is HTC's skin for the Android OS. "MotoBlur" is Motorola's skin, and Samsung has their own variant, as do others. This is a lot like customizing Windows; it'd be like changing the background, the system sounds, and the way Windows appear/look. Skinning is akin to theming. Attached is a picture example.

Note that different skins/themes sometimes include more than just visuals; Sense UI, for example, replaces the default MMS and Contacts applications with HTC's variants, as well as replacing the default system keyboard application. How much is customized is up to the manufacturer.

:) I'd suggest using Toast's method. The process is straightforward, and will allow you to achieve root access. From there, you can flash the ROM of your choice--be it Toast's Fr0y0 build, or an alternative ROM from another member. Toast also links to a Stock-ROM that's been modified for root access. This will give you the same experience as your phone was default, but with root access. This also means that you can uninstall certain applications, like Sprint TV, should you desire to do so.

However, you'll still be stuck using other Sense UI applications, like contacts and MMS, which I don't really care for. It's just life right now.

Froyo should (hypothetically) be made available soon, and then everyone with any iota of knowledge is going to be working frantically to build a full, feature-complete ROM with everything working (and then some), including tethering, HDMI out, full GPS/Wifi/Bluetooth/4G support, etc.

My recommendation? Root now using Toast's method, be wary (and read about) any updates before you perform them, and experiment with a few ROMs before Froyo is made available. Prep yourself now for Froyo and it'll be smooth sailing once it's available.

flipzmode?

1. So "toasts link stock rom", is that flipzmode's rom you are referring to? And that will give me the same exact experience as i have now, except for with root so if i want to modify SenseUI or some sprint apks i can? (i don't want anything to be removed or changed already, i just want to protect root for future when froyo comes out for our device with everything working).

2. and what does it mean when toast says: "you will need to wipe data and dalvic cache before flashing this." How do i do this?

Thanks!!

[Desire General] lennshow66:
Yea i have this problem.. however in your contacts check the send to voice mail feature on the contact is unchecked :)
[Desire General] r2b2:
It'll be down to coverage in your area or a network/mast fault. Put the phone onto 2G/GSM mode and it'll likely improve. Try it in a place of good signal (e.g. an Orange shop, and if it works fine then it'll be signal/coverage related.

(This is what Orange will ask you to do if you phone them too)
[Desire General] badmelonfarmer:
I have seen this on my desire on Orange, but I have unbranded generic handset so it is not likely to be down to any Orange added software on the handset.

I have seen this sort of thing before and it is usually down to the handset software / hardware rather than the network.
