[EVO 4G General] khov07:
Whether the issue is hardware or software related, the point is the same: HTC/Apple/MS/Sony/etc will always have random issues popup after new hardware is released. Perhaps for folks on these forums, the distinctions between a hardware vs software issue is significant, but not to the average consumer: if it doesn't work the way "it's supposed to", that's all that matters to Joe Consumer.

Interestingly, just because an issue has not yet been 'confirmed' by the manufacturer does not mean the issue does not exist for one or hundreds/thousands of customers. A few minutes worth of peeks at these forums is proof enough of that, or even a simple google search.

Finally, a (thin) argument can easily be made that the EVO is a 1st gen device, as it is the first 4g-capable handset in our hemisphere.

Rant all you want, as an early-adopter, you will nearly always experience issues. Rarely is new tech without any hiccups.
[EVO 4G General] Bp3dots:
Both my Hero and EVO were release day purchases and both were stellar in the hardware department. Much more solid than my various blackberries previous. I also don't see many issues from the units I've sold to customers. Compared to other manufacturers, HTC's build quality is not somthing I'm concerned about.
[EVO 4G General] AfroCreame:
Well said.
[EVO 4G General] gbopanonymous:
hey guys.. i was wondering if anyone knew the command line to remove HTC music app... i like the vanilla music app better.. i installed it.. only problem is.. when i use my bluetooth stereo earphones.. when i try and skip a track or resume a track.. it actually starts up the HTC music app.. while the vanilla app i have to control via phone.. i tried to do it with a file manager.. but its telling me its " read only".
[EVO 4G General] Hero's Hero:
Easiest way to delete apps is get Titanium Backup found in the market.

It gives you a list of all your apps, to back them up, delete, whatever.

If you having problems, tap the problems tab and install busybox
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
With the addition of a gyroscope (see 1:25 in the video) and the 960 x 640 screen to the iPhone 4, certainly WP7 developers will try to one-up or match Apple on these features. This makes me wonder if we'll end up with a Windows Phone 7 market with tons of different hardware features and form-factors (an achilles heel for the dead Windows Mobile market) that would create a hell for developers. Or, will WP7 be perpetually one step behind Apple in these regards?
[Windows Phone 7 General] davidstre:
wp7 has a gyroscope. a gyroscope isnt a matter of hardware as much as it is programming. obv it requires hardware though dont get me wrong.

pretty much its like this....wp7 releases in october. they arent going to be bested by whats released in june. if you found out about this recently, imagine how long ago windows found out about it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
Sorry, but I think only the iPhone 4 has the gyroscope so far. Not to be confused with accelerometer (which both devices have). Check out the video link in the OP.

I understand that manufacturers will try to compete. But the problem is, is you don't want to have so many different hardware capabilities between WP7 phones as soon as they are released. It will just fragment the market and make the software suck. For example, find good accelerometer support on windows mobile or an app that takes GOOD advantage of WVGA screens.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
WP7 devices aren't supposed to have gyroscopes, only accelerometers ("g-sensors"). And yes, these are hardware components.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Well, adding gyroscope will fragment the appstore as well, won't it?
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
Thus the point of my thread. If WP7 doesn't hit the market with these features, it will be perpetually behind Apple. If it DOES have these features upon RTM, they haven't been announced yet and it flies in the face of Microsofts already announced strict hardware standards. Either way it doesn't look good.

Gyroscope /= accelerometer.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Well, I'm not at all convinced that the gyroscope will add that much to the user experience in practice. And at least for a year or so developers will build apps that will work without one, so it'll play a marginal role. You can substitute pretty much everything a gyroscope does with a g-sensor and a compass, IMO.
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
I think the iPhone 4 will get those apps a lot sooner than a year just because the hardware specs and phone upgrade path are so streamlined in that market.

Some creative people will come up with something, even if it's just a game.

Gyroscopes, I believe, add a level of precision and responsiveness that you don't get with accelerometers and compass alone.

I want MS to step their game up before RTM and not try to rationalize 2nd best. I expect nothing less than something sexy and amazing come end of year from MS and partners.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Well, I'm afraid it's not just up to MS, and it's too late for OEMs to change their designs, find suppliers etc. etc. I'm not even sure there is capacity to produce enough gyroscopes to satisfy Apple's demand and then some - we're talking about production growth to tens of millions from essentially zero.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ari-free:
I don't think a gyroscope will be a deal maker/breaker. If you are into game phone, you will notice a larger screen and X Box Live before wondering if it would be better with a gyroscope.

The Wii sold a lot but it never lived to its potential. There aren't that many Wii games that used the controllers better than Nintendo's Wii sports resort.
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
A gyroscope's usefullness is subjective. But I would prefer my phone to have it and it be widely supported by developers. Another losing point for the WP7 phones upon release will be the WVGA screen (compared to the iPhone 4 screen). Maybe many people won't know the difference, but as a photographer who uses his phone to show off pics, the higher the res of my phone the better.

My main point is, I don't want MS and partners to be perpetually one generation behind the competition. They need to be innovators on the software and hardware side.
[Windows Phone 7 General] m.schmidler:
I'm sure Samsung will implement their SuperAMOLED tech into WP7 devices. And S-AMOLED is pretty much the same as the retina display. The resolution is not the same but 800x480 on a 3.8 screen plus super vivid colors and sunlight readability is absoluetly on par with the iPhone 4. In fact Apple is playing catch-up here ;)

You know, I've been thrilled after the Jobs-keynote. But as soon as my brain got sober from all the marketing blahblah I started to realize Apple didn't innovate that much with the iPhone4. Sure it is good but I am absolutely sure that HTC and Samsung can best this until october or so.
[Windows Phone 7 General] CSMR:
I'm a photographer too and I think WVGA is quite good for the form factor.

Have you used OLED screens? They are great for photos and the resolution isn't even true WVGA.

The main thing I'm missing in WM6.5 is color management, or even just an icc profile for my phone which I can convert to manually.
[Windows Phone 7 General] anaadoul:
As i came to know the size of the screen is the same on the iPhone 4, this means that the Pixels density is too high.

Notice that the eye cannot see anything smaller than 0.1mm and in the iPhone case it is 0.07 so the pixels cannot be seen by the naked eye. if the iPhone's screen was larger (maybe like the HD2) it would make more sense to include this high resolution.

Anyhow, choosing this resolution is a matter of technical implementation as the old one is 480x320 (new is 2*480x2*320) so this means that all they have to do to allow old iPhone apps to run full screen is to render the screen with 2 times hight and 2 times width (much easier and way better than the iPad).

Now regarding viewing photos! come on, you need a full HD TV to see a photo taken by a 2Mega Pixels camera.
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
Yeah, my X1 and TP2 look pretty nice displaying the pics. Only time I've seen OLED in action they had animation videos running...no real people. I'll have to look into the color accuracy.

The MP of the original photo is irrelevant (I shoot 14.2MP). The high PPI (of mobile screen) just gives you the ultimate sharpness. WVGA displaying of photos is quite nice, but I think the 960x640 should be that much better. I'm wondering what's the likely hood of seeing a 2x(800x480) anytime soon? Probably nil on mobile form-factors.

Has anyone found out the CPU speed of the new iPhone 4 ? EDIT: Never mind...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kloc:
Microsoft just built this OS and Iphone has been around for years now. They will eventually get all the features packed in that you would expect to have it's just going to take sometime because they want to bring those features to you in a manner that is easy to use so they aren't going to just throw it in there and call it good. They released an article saying that it will probably take around 5 years to get every single feature that they have planned into the devices and working the way it should. They made something that looks great and although right now it lacks functionality of Windows 6.5 it;s way more polished and no one can deny that. If you want to maintain your backwards compatability get yourself a Windows Phone handheld edition when it comes out.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kloc:
Hell there aren't even many 17" monitors that have more then a 1600x960 display so I doubt it will happen on a mobile but they do have support for HVGA which means that by scaling that 2x they can get there 960x640 and match what Apple has to offer and I bet the resolution would look so much better on a 4.3" device. I don't even know how people use a 3.5" these days lol.
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
I don't mind small screens. I love the SE X1 form factor. The bigger TP2 is cool too though.

If it takes 5 years for Microsoft to implement everything into WP7, then imagine the features being added to the competition products for the same 5 years. In order to catch up, MS is going to need to come up with some revolutionary ideas (to give the 'impression' of being ahead like Apple did) and work twice as hard as the other developers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kloc:
I don't think their 5 year plan involves catching up to the competition I think they are more about how long it's going to take to pass the competition in terms of offerings. If it was just about adding what's out there now then they should just give up already. I don't think they are that naive. I think they are pulling out there most important features right out the gate which makes the most sense. Xbox live intergration, Zune services, a better marketplace, and a great marketing campaign. These are what the average consumer is looking for. Cut and paste, 3rd party multitasking, etc is not going to cross the average person's mind when they look at a phone but it will make the experience better and that's what they are going for next.

I use the TP2 right now. I like the 3.7" screen but I still think something HD2 size with a keyboard would be the greatest device on the planet. But that's because I love landscape sliders but not everyone else shares the same opinion.
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
Its hard to say if they'll pass the competition or not, because Im sure the competition is working on some innovations too. This makes the task very difficult for MS unless they're working on some groundbreaking technology no one else has.

I took no part in the making of this theme!! It is the handy work of 928Droid!!

I love the features of 2.2, but I not really fond of the stock look so I did some searching and found a pretty nice theme. It was originally made for the Droid but with very minor tweaks will work on the Nexus.

Download MetaMorph version Here in the first post.

Use the MetaMorph version and don't apply the services sub-theme and it should work perfectly.

Grab a services.jar from another Nexus theme and push it to system/framework so you will have the white clock and notifications.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] charronegro1971:
this does indeed work w/ frf72. i'm running it on my nexus one. the only problem i've run into is the clock in the upper corner isn't visible (no big deal) and the droid logo and "droid does" that pops up here and there. when i installed via metamorph, i had to do everything one at a time because my phone kept rebooting as it progressed.

U call this as decent theme?

This only can be a joke.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BlackElvis79:
I took the update down because I flashed it to check it out, and it's notnearly as complete as the metamorph version. If I get a complete update.zip with a good services.jar then I'll reup it.

The htc evo can roam on gsm networks but it wont ever be able to work on the network fully with a gsm provider do to not having sim card slot. Unless the phone was completely remade to accommodate one then it wouldnt work.

Some sprint phones have had sim card slots for international use, but the HTC Evo does not.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danknee:
They are all good and "best" is entirely subjective. Read through each ROM's description to see what you like and don't. Also you can delete apk's you personally don't like (or add some back in) from recovery so the phone is customized for you.

Personally I'm running Flipz ROM and love it. DamageControl was always a stable option in the past on my Hero and many are enjoying his work on the Evo. You can always download several different ROMs to try out back to back.

Good luck and have fun!

I have ordered a Tmobile G1 and plan on putting on a new ROM. I am still very new to all of this and was wondering...

I like what I see so far the Cyanogen 5.08 and read that I should use a class 6 micro sd card. Is there a specific size that I can not exceed, such as 32 GB? I can not afford to screw this phone up so I want to make sure I get it right!

Any other suggestions or comments? I have been searching this site as well as Android Spin and the internet to find a good, user friendly ROM.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asb123:
i think 32 gb is the limit, and yeah class 6 or more (i think class 10 may be in microsd now (it is in regular sd for sure)) is highly recommended.

Also, cyanogen always has a nice mix of features and stability. Just wait for 5.0.8 to come out of test form (any day now)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pauldacheez:
There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding over class rating in SD cards, but the general consensus seems to be "16 GB Class 6 (or highest capacity/class available)." I'm using a 4 GB Class 2 card and CM5 runs smoothly with Apps2SD/Dalvik2SD, so I guess you don't need the best card unless using a Sense ROM as a daily driver. (Sense really does run badly on the Dream, no matter what you do about it.)

Size limits I'm very unsure of. You can definitely use 16 GB cards (everyone here seems to use one), you can most likely use 32 GB cards, and I don't know anything about 64 GB cards other than that's the max size the Nexus One can use.

Battery life is a huge issue on the G1, you should know. I can get two days' worth of battery (576/576MHz wake, 245/245MHz sleep, 0% brightness, sync+GPS, very few apps), but that's because I got that (very fattening) 2600mAh Seidio battery. With the original it wouldn't last an entire day.
