Dude like the other person said its only over wifi for all that if you using your iphone over wifi at home might as well use a computer that's why they call it a "mobile" phone should be able to use that feature anywhere. And when skype release for android it will be amazing.

idk about u but im really getting this iphone 4 for sure....as my ipod/backup phone to my Sexy Nexy :D
[Nexus One General] PacoL250:
Heh, funny thing is, I could do the same if I wanted to get locked into a contract honestly. At least, if I wanted a subsidized price.

But honestly, what's the point? I'd rather have everything all on one device.

dont get me wrong, its a cool feature to have video calling, but i honestly dont talk on the phone that much....plus its another way for crazy girlfriends to be nosy ...lmao not that i have that problem
[Nexus One General] arkavat:
As much as I hate apple, we can't ignore the hardware specs on iPhone 4. I do not see anyone trumping them anytime soon. Android is a good OS, but apple has very capable and quality hardware to go along with their OS and that's where they dominate.

I can make a gay joke (which may or may not even offend you depending on the team you're on), or a sad, lonely geek joke with this. Tell you what, think of one yourself and pretend I said it.

J/K of course.

I hate to say this.. but, by the time apple releases iphone..

Odds are it will only be a few MORE months until either dual core snap dragon OR 1.5 ghz processor.. Some rumors going around about both.

Htc has made phones that have video calln for years..... but honestly whos really gonna walk and talk while stair'n at ur phone lol
[Nexus One General] ATnTdude:
First dual-core Snapdragon will be the MSM8260 (the HSPA part will likely lead the CDMA MSM8660). Aside from the modems, they're identical and clock in at 1.2GHz.

Just a bit of a guide:

MSM8x50: 1GHz single core (N1, Desire, Evo, Incredible, etc CPU). Only CPU in teh public now.

MSM8x50A: 1.3GHz single core. Die shrink (same CPU design, but literally shrunk via new technology reducing power consumption and heat output). Due late 2010

MSM8x60: 1.2GHz dual core. LTE support. 1080p decode. support for up to WXGA 1280 x 800 screen resolution. Due late 2010/Early 2011

MSM8x72: 1.5GHz dual core. Support for up to WSXGA screen resolution. (1440 x 9001080p encode/decode, full support for all Mobile TV solutions. MASSIVE overhaul of graphics unit, with it reportedly able to render 80M triangles/sec and 500M+ 3D pixels/sec. Reports have suggested a late 2010 launch, but given that the unit has yet to be mass produced for OEM testing, I don't expect it before 2011.

I wouldn't give up hope that either of the dual-core parts will show up in smartphones. They seem targeted at tablets and smartbooks. It will probably be end of 2011 before we see enough improvements in power consumption to see that kind of performance in a mobile handset.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
Hmm.. I smell someone who doesn't know what HW means. What HW specs?

Maybe A4 with unknown frequency that was already trashed in its fastest 1GHz form by either overclocked Droid or Nexus + JIT (and will be blown to bits by any future CPU, at least from Qualcomm's line, seeing that currently in its 1GHz form in iPad it's already below the 1.3GHz Snapdragon), and current Samsung CPUs (in Samsung phones) having x3 more powerful graphics (and later Qualcomm CPUs improving the GPU as well)?

Or maybe 5MP camera with LED flash and 720p video recording and front-facing VGA one, that are available in Evo for some time now, and the already-released dual Snapdragon below supporting 1080p encode/decode?

Ah, you mean the display resolution.. in 1/2 year that'll be pushed even further.

What rumors? It's officially launched, both of them. Here's the dual core:

http://www.qualcomm.com/news/releases/2010/06/01/qualcomm-ships-first-dual-cpu-snapdragon-chipset

There are devices scheduled to appear with it until the end of the year (hoping that they'll actually make it on time). Can't say if there are any phones, though.
[Nexus One General] Factisnet:
again, I had video calling since 2007 over 3g on my N80 and it was free on my 3 network. LoL and now Steve says "BOOM video calling" and all people going crazy about it. Go to Asia or Europe it´s just normal and something you rarely use.

I use that for my personal freedom:

[Nexus One General] attn1:
Agree that Apples idea of video conferencing is far too limited. If they really wanted to do something right, they could have worked on a standard everyone could have shared, and enabled it regardless of how your are connected.
[Nexus One General] arkavat:
I think your smell-o-scope is broken. I know a certain professor who can help you

Processor clock speed is just one of the performance parameter of a CPU and on its own means nothing. I will, actually, go further and say, CPU specs alone means nothing to me. It's the total package that counts. I will buy a 2.2GHz thinkpad over 2.6Ghz inspiron laptop and even pay few hundred dollars more. Because I am paying for the whole thing, the chassis, better hard drive, etc... Inspiron cheaps out and thinkpad does not.

Let's go back to phones,

Show me one SINGLE phone that has these specs ( or even any phone that will be launched within a year)

1) Processor capable of doing intense graphics (OpenGL 2.0, HD video)

2) Display with 326 pixel density (Note: resolution alone means nothing. It's pixel density that costs more money)

3) IPS panel. To give you an idea, 24" TN panel costs about $200, IPS $400

4) Tri-axial accelerometer.

5) Triaxial gyroscope

6) 720p video capable camera

7) front facing camera

8) Gorilla class glass

9) Noise canceling mic

10) Pentaband 3G. I travel and i know the importance of it.

11) Wireless n card

these all together are hardware. not just CPU

Let me reiterate my hate of steve jobs and company. However, apple has not cheaped out on this phone and let's appreciate that. I have always said, HTC cheaps out very regularly. I do not think I need to present any proofs of that, search on XDA.

Having said all this, I like my freedom and I will stay with Android. But i will not wear a fanboy hat to defend HTC or google nor will I post rants against them. But please, lets appreciate what other companies are doing good. that too in a socialized manner.
[Nexus One General] audino:
Im gonna move to the iphone 4 inspite losing flash support but getting a high res display nearly like the first webbooks AND hd video recording WITH A SOUND and not this ****y noise/crap audio the nexus one is recording on videos...
[Nexus One General] rheza02:
whatever guys, i get both!

hahaha
[Nexus One General] jp_macaroni:
I have to admit the iphone4 is pretty impressive...but its not enough for me to buy one.

I still love my nexus and flash.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
Hmm, I see your point. But I think it's not that simple.

I can show you phones that have subset of the features: 1, 6, 7, 9, 11.

Be surprised, Nexus supports OpenGL 2.0 and HD video (if you mean 720p). So does Evo.

Evo supports 720p and has front facing camera.

I'm sure you know Nexus also has noise canceling mic and wireless N. Evo lacks the mic.

Display DPI, another axle in accelerometer, gyroscope and glass (?) aside - they're advanced. Might be important, might be as needless as noise cancelling mic (the only thing it's good for, it seems, is not allowing people to speak to the phone from a distance). Pentaband is a function of antennas, which might be supported on current HW (need to ask RF people, don't have enough knowledge to tell).

On the other hand, how do you compare lacking features? For example, being so excited about DPI, how do you compare smaller or larger screen sizes - what counts as an advantage? OLED vs IPS paned LCD - for what reason do manufacturers need to go back, Samsung already proved that OLED can be made to work great in direct sunlight? How do you compare lack of HDMI out, weak camera, lack of WiMAX/LTE support, lack of removable battery (for as simple a reason as being capable to execute forced shutdown, for example)?

I'm far from being a fanboy for any technology. It's just technology.

P.S. And even if I dig into specs of future phones that aren't rumored on the net yet, I wouldn't disclose them on the forum, don't you think? ;)
[Nexus One General] mykenyc:
To be honest your might call me weird but the only thing i envy is the hard glass my nexy have nicks in like 5 places :(

and yes i think the display is gorgeous (iPhone 4) but still 3.5 inch, and what you really looking at is all their eye candy bubble gum graphics. If google really put more effort in there UI (which i don't think froyo is half bad) plus the already gorgeous display we wouldn't care. Only apple can put rain drops (not needed but pretty) as a overlay and make people go wow lol.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] riggsandroid:
Does anyone have a list of all the locations of image files for editing your own theme? I want to jump into the theming world.

Something just to get started.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Papa Smurf151:
not that i know of. Your gonna have to go through all the files and figure out what files go where. Sorry I know it sucks but at the same time its part of the learning process.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] alexthearmo:
ya. download a theme and start seeing what icons and stuff they changed. That's the best way to get acquainted. Good luck! It's fun and addicting. Feel free to hit up cbarlan or myself if you have questions. We'd be more than happy to help! God bless! :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] riggsandroid:
Thanks guys. I'll download some themes and see what I find.

What software do you guys use? Gimp, paint.net? Photoshop?

Thanks again. Also will try to compile a basic list as I go to help others.

One piece of advice as you get into this...

Take note of the approximate filesize of whatever you are changing and try to save it in png-8 or png-24 with as few colors as possible.

I have made some taskbar icons and after the first couple sets it was weeks later that I realized the originals were less than 400bytes and the ones I made were like 1.5 to 2.5 KB!!! May not sound like much but it adds up.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] alexthearmo:
PhotoShop's color replacement tool will save you hours!

Most of the stuff u r going to change will be in com.HTC.resources.all and also framework:-res .apk. not all of them but a lot. They will be in the "drawable" folders that are in the res folder. Hope that helps u start.
[EVO 4G General] auau465121:
I had the Iphone for awhile and I hated it until I jailbroke it and finally I started to like it. But then I got smart and went with sprint and got the Hero save myself

$60 per month(anybody that was on AT&T know what i mean lmao)but when I jailbroke the Iphone my favorite app on cydia was a app called VWallpapers I love this app and trust me if y'all see this app y'all will love it to. I was wondering since the Evo (which i love also) is running live wallpapers is it possible to get this ported over?If so i would drop something in your paypal account:D here is a preview of me bragging to my friend who has a iphone also about the app check it out.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2cMTMSV_gk

[EVO 4G General] Shadow591:
I'm sure there Will be an app for this, in the future, As of now i have not found one.

Yeah it is a battery drain but all livewallpapers drain battery so why not look good before u go dead :cool:

We have a pitbull for a phone evo's dont walk around like 3.7 in" screen scared puppies :D

[EVO 4G General] YoungAceAtlanta:
iphone always had video wallpapers, video ringtones, video notifications etc etc.

Im sure android will get that. buuut if you think about it your battery would get killed so fast. its like you going to have a movie playing on your phone the whoooole time

i wont expect you to get no more then 1-2hours out of your battery life
[EVO 4G General] auau465121:
Yep just finish eating catfish mash potatoes & broccoli w/ cheese :D

Yeah but u had to jailbreak to get them u had to jailbreak your phone to do simple stuff like change your home screen wallpaper the stock iphone is so boring.That's why i love android i do whatever i want to do to my phone i can move anything.
[EVO 4G General] bob13bob:
/agree with op. that's awesome.
[EVO 4G General] YoungAceAtlanta:
Well with 3.1 you can change your homescreen now with out jailbreak right?
[EVO 4G General] auau465121:
Yeah now but how long did it take apple to figure that one out apple is always late enabling stuff but there so popular when they do get it people start claiming they invented it. Like watch when the new iphone drops people are going to swear that they started the video talk and i know i work all apple fanboys thats why i couldnt wait to get to work and pull out the EVO and watch there face drop :D
[EVO 4G General] Negrito:
if you have a nice collection of wallpapers i highly sugggest Wallswitch its free in the market, and it just cycles the images from whatever folder you point it to and at what ever interval you say. I like it better that lwp, less battery drain as the backbround isnt constantly moving.

or you can always try the lwp called camerapaper, also free in the market. it sets your background to whatever the rear facing camera sees. this app worked better on my Hero though.

I have de-odex'd a rom but it does not seem to want to boot, does the framework and/or app folder need resigning as well as the rom?
[EVO 4G General] tekmaven:
Howdy everyone. I'm a long time HTC Hero user who upgraded to the Evo today. So far I love it. I'm paying for the extra $29.99 Sprint Hotspot service. I'm actually traveling now, and I've gotten to use it pretty heavily. Also, keep in mind that speeds I discuss below are on the 3G radio. There is no 4G available (yet) in New York. Also, I'm doing the speed tests on the 20th floor in a hotel room, which obviously affects coverage (if I'm on the ground the 3G in NYC is super fast, but up all these floors the reception is a different story).

First of all, I'm pretty sure when you start the Sprint Hotspot, you actually connect to different internet servers. When I first got the phone, they didn't activate the hotspot service on my phone (even though I ordered it with that), and when I started the hotspot it would have an internet connection error about some username and password. It was like "error 67" - and that number stands out to me becuase somehow that was a data error back in my WinMo days :).

Anyways, I have a feeling the switching of the servers actually limits your bandwith somehow. If I do a Speedtest.net speed test (on the phone using the speedtest app), I'll get pretty decent (300k/s-500k/s) speeds before starting the hotspot, and then < 5k/s after activating it (aka no usable connection at all).

So I finally broke down, and rooted the phone (using the unrevoked method - I am running the OTA update). I installed Wireless Tether for Root Users Pre14 (which obviously does not change servers when you start it), and I'm noticing about 2x the speed and lower ping times with it.

I ran two tests on my laptop on speedtest.com. I've attached to this post the results of each. The higher numbers are with Wireless Tether.

I'm curious to see what you guys think could be the issue with the Sprint app. Are they limiting the tethering speed? Should I just drop the Sprint service and use Wireless Tether?

I really don't mind paying a little more to Sprint if their Hotspot app works well.
[EVO 4G General] Ikyo:
Hmm, I would verify they are on the same server. You might also try changing the server you run the speedtests to and see if that changes things. The only thing I could think of is the way it handles the connections because the Wifi tether is an adhoc connection.
[EVO 4G General] heygrl:
Are you using WPA/2 with Sprint Hotspot?
[EVO 4G General] tekmaven:
No. I actually figured that this would increase overhead, so I shut off all encryption.

The thing is, when I turn on the Sprint Hotspot, the internet on the phone itself is really slow. I'm not even talking about what it is on a laptop or something.
[EVO 4G General] Rennat:
I can see this being true. The only thing I want to know concerning the NotSpot and rooting tether is it legal or not. I am only going to use the HotSpot app one in a blue moon so I am not going to ay for it. I am just wondering if it is legal to use the rooted way.
[EVO 4G General] heygrl:
It's not illegal people, it's not that serious.
[EVO 4G General] IceCreaMan:
its not illegal, but the question is what will they do with your plan when they find out... worst case i can see is add the $30 hotspot fee as we already have unlimited data plans
[EVO 4G General] mrjeancw:
hmm, you actually got your laptop to connect using unrevoked+ota+wifi tether for rooted phones from the market??? why is it that i cannot get my ipod touch to see my connection...ARGH!!! i hate this! i may just go back to winmo...this is my first android phone. had tp2 and wifi tether worked perfect for it.

I've been using google's exchange server for my email, but it suddenly stopped working a few hours ago. The credentials seem correct (i've not changed them) but it just tries to sync for ages, then gives up with a message about credentials. I re-enter them and it seems to accept them, but then does it again..and again. I'm using wifi, and i have no problem surfing, so it's not an internet problem. I'm using a gmail account which was never googlemail, so I doubt it's related to the recent changes there.

Anyone else been getting problems on previously working exchange connectivity?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tissimo:
I recently upgraded my class 2 card to a class 6 card and noticed when writing a rom to the SD root the speed is the same speed (around 1.75mb/s)?

I'm doing this with the SDCard in the phone and a usb cable.

Also my class 6 is a Adata 8gb class 6, and my class 2 was a SanDisk 2gb.

Would this be the hardware limiting (g1) or something else?

Fwiw when rooting a buddies mytouch3g and his class 4 card it would write much faster (~3-4mb/s).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digitaldreamer7:
The speed did increase but it is also having to look through 2x the amount of data as well. I read this somewhere, and I am also Googling it now as we speak to come up with a reference link for you. Basically if you have a 2gb card that's class 2 and class 6 you are going to see a speed increase on the class 6 card, but, if you go from a 2gb class 2 card to a 6-8gb class 6 card, you are not going to see much of an increase if any at all due to the increased size and the time it takes to write data over the card. This is a fragmentation issue as I read it.

Please, don't take this as 100% fact, just something I read when I did my research about 4 months ago.

Hope that helps
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boodies:
well that sucks lol

but you are saying if we go from Class 2 8 Gig to Class 6 8 Gig, there will be a increase?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejorguille:
Sorry guys but your theories are way off=p It's the USB cable thats at fault. Either get a better USB, or put it in a mircosd card reader and you should see speeds roughly at 10mb/s write and 20mb/s read (at least those are mine with a samsung class 6 from amazon=p)

PS: Who ever heard of a 6gb sdcard? they come in exponents of 2: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1,024, 2,048, 4,096, 8,192, 16,384, 32,768....

yeah I'm pretty darn bored if you can't tell....
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tissimo:
I pulled the card out and put it on a card reader and it would write about 9-10MB/s, but still only 1.5-1.75MB/s though the G1 (usb mounted).

It's the usb that is limiting you (I think). Think of it as filling a pool with a 12-inch fire house that is running through a funnel=p. Try a different USB cable.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tissimo:
I'm using the same cable for both the G1 and the card reader. I assume its just the G1s USB driver/transfer protocol thats causing the issues.
