[EVO 4G General] liquidkernel:
In daylight the white balance set on Auto looks a bit like the white balance for fluorescent. If I set it manually to daylight it looks fine.

Anyone had this issue?

PS: Running DC 3.1.2
[EVO 4G General] mysterioustko:
that can often be true for digital cameras set to "auto". The best way to take pictures with any digital camera (not just the evo) is to manually set your white balance according to the type of light you are using.
[EVO 4G General] Geosama:
Just remember, the original intent of the Evo was to make phone calls and to be as a mini computer more or less,, not really to replace your digital camera. Let's not get picky about every little thing now :). (Sorry if that sounded condescending, not my intention)
[EVO 4G General] supdawg:
Yeah, I've noticed the same thing. WB is off a bit.

Also, I've noticed that when using flash up close... The pictures are almost always way overexposed.
[EVO 4G General] mysterioustko:
yeah and I noticed that if you cover the lens with your finger the picture is black....WTH :eek:

<sarcasm = off>
[EVO 4G General] talentedtenth:
Hahahaha lol
[EVO 4G General] liquidkernel:
Well of course. I just don't bring my Canon 7D everywhere.. on top of that I have 20lbs of lenses and other bodies.

For what it's worth it works.
[EVO 4G General] acrh2:
I cannot tell very well the WB, because I'm using the Sprint anti-glare screen protector.
[EVO 4G General] wildcard:
I think I liked the Windows mobile version better. It was easier to navigate back and forth and make quick jumps across screens. I've tried a custom launcher but it wasn't that great. Anyone got any suggestions?
[EVO 4G General] txtsd:
pinch the screen.
[EVO 4G General] CentroniX:
If you mean between the home screens, hit home twice to see all the screens at once, then tap the one you want.

If you mean switching back and forth between apps, hold down the home button, and a small window will pop-up showing recently used apps, and tap the one you want.
[EVO 4G General] letsgoflyers81:
Sometimes I miss WM Sense but you have to realize is that while Android Sense has the same name, it's a different product. Sense on WM is a Today screen plugin. It is one piece of software that has lots of different functions so there is seamless switching between them by sliding the slider to different pages. But with Android, there are (in this case) seven different home screens to be filled with apps, widgets, etc. HTC created widgets that often resemble WM Sense pages such as the flip clock, music player, bookmarks, etc. They're fundamentally different due to they environments in which they're used, due to different operating systems.
[EVO 4G General] wildcard:
ya i liked being able to switch pages with just a flick or press of a thumb. A pinch requires two hands and double pressing the home button requires 3 button presses. Maybe if there were a few shortcuts to the different homescreens at the bottom, that would make switching screens alot easier. Just nit-picking but if there is something out there that makes that easier, that would be great :D

So, everyone saw the Verizon teaser for the Droid X. But if you watch frame by frame you can see this:

http://briefmobile.com/droid-x-release-set-for-july-2nd

So, July 2nd release date? Wouldn't be too out of the question. First... it is a Friday. Second, it's nearly a week and a half after the Verizon Unleash the New Droids event.

Here's the youtube video

The Motorola Droid X will be release July 15th, 2010 for $199 with new2yrs agreement and anyone who is up for upgrade this year can upgrade to it early...
[Droid X General] SiXiam:
Anyone know what it is for a one-year contract?

Two-years is just too long when they release a cool new phone every six-months. ;)
[Droid X General] dr154:
I would say somewhere between $269.99-$369.99 price range...
[Droid X General] aeronauticsrock:
It should be $270 (after MIR and everything)
[XPERIA X2 General] ahmedviking:
Hello guys ;

I'm wondering if anybody know the exact and final details of how to convert regular avi or DVD movies to fit into my Xperia X2.

the original file is with excellent quality on X2 but slow somehow.

I'm using Any Video converter to convert it to MP4 and i can find no certain profile for Xperia ( although ) all smart phones and I phones has profiles for direct conversions there.

However , i tried custom settings ( like 420x320 , 480x 400 )and they work not bad ,but i wanted to know if anybody know the perfect format for mp4 on X2

Also, it'll be great if anybody know how to keep the regular DVD quality but to solve the slow and scatters frames on the original file when played on X2..

thanks
[XPERIA X2 General] Draken Korin:
definitely wrong forum, also check X2 subs for already existing threads on this, not sure

[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] beth0301:
I installed the v3 custom ROM but decided I'd be better off going back to the standard for now.

When I tried to reflash, I got a blue screen and my pc shut down. I calmly rebooted and retried but I got this error (see screen shot) advising me to reboot. I've rebooted, redownloaded the lg rom and retried 3 or 4 times now.

I'm quickly reaching panic stage, can someone please help???
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] xdapants:
Try deleting the c:\users\all users\lgmobileax folder and then try the stock rom again.

If you're using win7 (I assume so from the path) you'll have to do the compatibility settings and such again as well.

hth
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] beth0301:
It wouldn't let me delete it so I renamed it. I'm re downloading the file.

If you have a few minutes please stick around, I'm totally panicked right now.
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] beth0301:
THANK YOU

Wow, thank you! I renamed the folder as it wouldn't let me delete - redownloaded and reinstalled. The phone screen was black (no emergency download message) but I went ahead any way and it worked.

Huge huge thanks!
[Droid X General] jigglywiggly:
I got the HTC EVO 4g at the IO conference, had a great time over there.

Anyway, I feel like the phone sucks because of the 30fps cap, gona sell it for around 400$-450$ on ebay.

Then get the Droid X.

Anyone else thinking of doing the same?
[Droid X General] uultramann:
Nah, I like the Evo so far. And I happen to be lucky enough to be in an area that is going to allegedly green light 4G in the next few weeks (Orlando, FL). Software wise, the Droid X isn't going to be all that different than the Evo, so I'm good.
[Droid X General] jigglywiggly:
I worded my first post badly, I love the EVO, I just can't stand they ruined an amazing phone.

But that's a good thing to me if the Droid X is not very different, because I love the EVO
[Droid X General] Papichulo06:
The thing I really like about the droid x is the oled screen compared to the evo's lcd screen that drains battery. If the evo had that it would be my top pick.

[Droid X General] Ryan Frawley:
Yeah. I'm waiting till the end of the grace period before I return it. I want to get as much use out of my evo as possible.
[Droid X General] clubtech:
Returning my evo.

Too many little bugs.
[Droid X General] Pitnefor:
droid x is oled? I thought it was lcd
[Droid X General] h0x90:
I went back to engadgets hands on page and noticed they left that detail out. Last time they left that detail out (Evo) it ended up being LCD

I've had many issues with the evo sadly.. and the screen bothers me! :\ I still have my nexus and I'm not used to this washed out look.
[Droid X General] Ryan Frawley:
If it was OLED, they would be showing that off as a feature. Since they haven't said anything, it's pretty safe to assume it's LCD.
[Droid X General] AdamLJ:
I am. Bye Evo, I won't miss your 30 FPS Novatel and horrid input lag. Or the lousy camera and sub-par video recording. I shouldn't have to root my phone to make it work right. I refuse to be stuck with a "flag ship" phone that has this many issues while hoping fixes come out. The devs working on the FPS issue are definitely awesome, props to them.
[Droid X General] TKardinal:
Gotta admit, the Droid X is looking pretty darn impressive. Like, tempting me to return my EVO impressive.

I was doing a quick Pro/Con analysis and came up with a lot on the DroidX side and not much on the EVO side. But the EVO advantages are very very big.

EVO pros

4G (ten times faster according to my tests)

Kickstand

Cheaper plan (We assume)

Unlimited Data (It's not clear the specific terms and condition of Verizon's data plan)

Frontfacing Camera (which is almost irrelevant to me)

DROIDX pros

Sharper Screen (say the reviews)

Physical Buttons (that I got used to with my iPhone

Works in Metro (DC area)

Faster processor

Noise Cancelling Mic

Better WiFi? (EVO has noticably shorter WiFi range in my house)

Froyo date promised (summer 2010)

Multitouch keyboard

8GB vs 512MB on-unit storage

16GB SD included

Lighter by 6oz

What am I missing about EVO over DroidX?
[Droid X General] AdamLJ:
Droid also has image stabilization, diversity antennas, and better battery life. The screen is higher resolution and has 16 million colors (24-bit) vs the Evo's 65,000 colors (16-bit).

I think you captured all the Evo pros.

I'm curious to compare the build quality of both devices.
[Droid X General] dekayte:
Does Verizon have any sort of grace period like Sprint does? Went from iPhone to EVO and I'm tempted to at least test the Droid X out. Considering the biggest pro that the EVO had going for it was the front facing camera, which kind of seems useless seeing as no one else I know bothered getting the EVO. (Which could easily change since everyone I know is getting an iPhone which does have a front facing camera).
[Droid X General] AdamLJ:
Yes but it's not free like Sprint. $35 per line to cancel, and they pro-rate your bill.
[Droid X General] Pops_G:
I am considering it. I love the EVO and think its a better phone. For me it will come down to one issue.

The 30fps/input lag issue. They seem to be tied together.

For me the EVO wins because of the front camera, kickstand and 4G.
[Droid X General] smitty1:
The EVO is a very good phone, but it certainly has some major flaws. The ones that get me the most

Battery life, well it just sucks. Don't leave wifi on your screwed, my crappy 3g iphone had much better battery life.

The WIFI reception stinks,

And why the hell doesn't it have an extra 8g memory, memory is cheap and we all like more of it.

and what is the use in having such a big screen if the video quality is so bad.

And I agree you shouldn't have to root your phone to get it to work well. It is supposed to be bleeding edge but it missed the mark not by a lot but by enough.

If the battery life is better droid x will much better.
[Droid X General] Pitnefor:
Rooting is awesome. makes the phone feel like i purchased rather than a phone im renting
[Droid X General] smitty1:
Hey if you really want to own your phone why don't you paint it too or bedazzled it?

Rooting wouldn't be as bad if it magically made the battery life better or improved the wifi. It may improve the battery but it still stinks.

imho if a phone is going to be the next wonder phone it should have better battery life than a pos iphone out of the box.

Iphone almost got me again on IPhone 4 but that damn antenna shorting out is a deal breaker. What is the point of having a sleek new phone with the first thing you have to do is wrap it in an ugly plastic bumper. Eat it Jobs, guess we know why he had such bad reception.
[Droid X General] texascrane:
Any ideas on what to do to keep my phone number (and have cell phone service) for 2 weeks between returning my EVO and getting a droid x?
[Droid X General] Pops_G:
I am having a similar issue. I was considering going to T-Mobile for 3 weeks and porting the number to them, then dumping them and going to Verizon. lol

Another option would be to talk to Verizon, they might be able to start your service early on a loaner phone.
[Droid X General] TKardinal:
I am in the same situation. And yes, talking to Verizon might not be a bad idea. 3 weeks of a 1st Gen DROID? They're free, after all.
[Droid X General] kingrichards:
Sprint have 30days return policy right?
[Droid X General] ophelan:
I'm currently on AT&T with a 3GS, and running a 30-day trial of the EVO. Sprint coverage is absolute crap at my house it appears, so the EVO is going back next week and Droid X is next up. There is a slim chance I'll grab an iPhone 4 eventually, but all indications point to me jumping over to Android at the moment, assuming the Droid X delivers.
[Droid X General] pflatlyne:
Droid X doesn't have 4g. That makes the choice real simple.
[Droid X General] ishydroid:
For keeping your number I did the TMO thing with my iphone, ended up being longer then I had planned and was using them for a bout 3 months.

I just picked up the EVO 3 days ago and although I love the big ol screen the build quality blows. My back cover doesn't sit snugly and I have the light bleed and raised screen issue, it's a 003. But I find myself loving the kickstand, I thought it was gimmicky until I tried it out.

So for me it's

EVO:

Kickstand

Monthly plan*

Larger data cap (3G)

DX:

Build Quality (unverified by my own hand)

Screen

*The monthly cost may actually be more. I may be eligeble for A 25% discount with VZW.
[Droid X General] kingrichards:
I wonder how big of a difference is the screen resolution in real life? But Evo also can't do DLNA? that is important
[Droid X General] ishydroid:
I'm in a 4G area and I really think it's hype.... Sure it's faster but I think for most people it doesn't matter. I can stream music all day at work and not have any problems on 3G. For me in practice the only time I need the speeds of 4G is when I want to watch a video or something which just doesn't happen much if I'm not at home or with my friends killing time.

Now if the data cap on 4G was to never be implemented that would be different but we all know it's coming....
[Droid X General] aldo37:
I'm probably going to do this because Sprint won't let me sign up as a new customer without a 2-year contract when I already have a phone. Can't believe Verizon does but Sprint doesn't.
[Droid X General] dekayte:
I agree. I live in the middle of my city's 4G network and I find that I never have 4G on, between the simple fact that it just straight up kills battery life and not actually needing the extra speed. I either us WiFi or 3G is usually enough for streaming music.
[Droid X General] DarkOne951:
Heads up, Evo's 30 fps lock has been fixed. (depending on the revision number you have)

http://www.androidcentral.com/android-hackers-versus-htc-evo-30-fps-cap
[Droid X General] J2the4son:
I will be keeping my EVO, I switched to it from Verizon with the Palm Pre Plus (yeah huge upgrade) my experience with Verizon has been hell. I cancelled my plan within the first 30 days to avoid the early termination fee. It has been almost 3 weeks and I am still fighting with them to remove the $350 from my bill.

In the short time I was with them and still on their network, I found their customer service to be awful. That is enough to keep me away from them for good.

The only real plus that Droid X has for me is that it is not running Motoblur. Custom UI's drive me nuts and Sense is horrible. (not in function, just aesthetics)

Other than that I think EVO and Droid X are near enough that it wont matter.
[Droid X General] sic0048:
Keep in mind that the EVO is already rooted. With Moto locking down thier bootloaders now, it could be months before Droid X is fully rooted (if ever). Look at the Moto Milestone - it's been rooted, but you still cannot install custom ROMs or anything like that.

I'd love to get a Droid X, but this locked bootloader is making me think twice about it.
[Droid X General] cbaty08:
At first this sounded bad to me too, but with the capabilities of froyo coming, why root anyhow?

I suppose the only program I would want that may not be signed would be a hotspot app of somesort.....
[Droid X General] weedahoe:
We changed from VZW to Sprint and pre-ordered two Evo's. But sadly where I work i get NO signal and I need that. Both our Evo's are flawless in cosmetics and functions and we both love them and hate to give them back but me not getting any signal at work is a deal breaker for me.

Thankfully the DX is coming out and we will pre-order those and go back to VZW.
[Droid X General] synplex:
I just returned my Evo and canceled sprint today for Verizon and the Droid X. I wasn't getting any reception at or by my home. I have a orignal droid for now but pre order my Droid x at Best buy. Cant wait.

I gotta admit, I'm not getting that best reception with my droid by at least i get 3 of 4 bars at home and work. :)
[Droid X General] weedahoe:
Well i am a bit pissed from yesterday. Seems since we pre-ordered from RS, I can get my 300+ I paid for them back on my debit card but the 100 (2*50) we did for pre-order deposit goes back on RS gift cards.

I wouldnt mind if RS could pre-order the DX or even if I ever shopped there but ever since I was a kid i remember them being over priced and usually not having the best gear out there on the market.

So if anyone wants to buy a GC with $100 on it for a discount LMK. I will never buy from RS again.
[Droid X General] Pops_G:
I was considering going from the EVO to Droid X. But now I am going to the Samsung Epic. It has everything. While I am not super excited about the AMOLED. I think it will still be happy with it.

Plus the #1 thing I want to be able to do is emulators, and a physical keyboard makes that a lot more enjoyable.
[Droid X General] rainabba:
Hmm, weak Sprint coverage (Sprint CDMA < Verizon CDMA and no 4G for the 5th largest city in the US, Phoenix) so 4G and coverage is irrelevant, front camera is a novelty for me (cool in theory, rarely used because so few people have one yet) so that's irrelevant, and the Armv7 + PowerVR > Qualcom + ATI, and more screen to work with; so yes, I will sell my free EVO (thank Google) and get an X.

The camera and added mics might prove to be an advantage too, but I'm not using that as a basis for comparison, but does have potential.
[Droid X General] jack_isidore:
Can you link a post on this? I was planning on getting the Droid X while making the assumption it would be rooted. I've been ignoring all the negative press about the UI assuming I wouldn't have to deal with it.

EDIT: Nm, I found the posts, very discouraging.
[Droid X General] rolandroland:
This may fix your gift card problem: www.plasticjungle.com
[Droid X General] rolandroland:
It is but keep in mind it will likely get rooted, just not the bootloader unlocked/nsigned. So no custom roms, but you can do just about everything else.
[Droid X General] AdamLJ:
Ported my numbers from Sprint to Verizon yesterday. Will return the phones to Best Buy this weekend. $0 cost incurred and I'm picking up my Droid X one hour before the Verizon store opens on July 15th :)
[Droid X General] rolandroland:
LOL, trying to make other jealous?
[Droid X General] andydrives2fast:
This is similar to what I just did. I had an EVO but returned it and am currently using my fiancées old Samsung FlipShot on her families plan for $9.99 a month until the Droid X comes out. The Verizon salesman said I could definitely do this for the time being until the X is released.
[Droid X General] primarilydna:
Hey all sorry for being a newbie... as i'm new to the android stuff... so if the droid x gets rooted and the bootloader isn't hacked yet.... is it possible to use the wifi tethering instead of paying 20bucks mothly which is really ridicilous?
[Droid X General] cbaty08:
I have my hopes set high for yes... I hold the xda community in high respects and do not have doubt... BUT hey, it might never get cracked.

If that is the case we can just sell them and switch back to our old ones until we find a better one........
[Droid X General] hkk:
EVO to Droid X

Moving from Evo to DX.

Was very excited about Evo, but disappointed. Primary issues were

- Battery wouldn't last beyond 3PM (starting at 7AM) with moderate usage.

- Bad camera/video quality. Even in good light conditions, the video was somewhat choppy and pixelated. Having 2 young kids, I need this. I don't expect a DSLR replacement, but do expect it to serve as a decent replacement for my 6yr old 5MP P&S.

- Build quality was bad. Light lLeakage, flimsy battery cover.

Secondary issues

- No 4G coverage while indoors. Many a times when 4G signal was low (1 bar), the phone would try to get data thru 4G wait for a long time, and then switch to 3G, which meant waiting for a minute or two while the data would come thru. Ended up turning off 4G 90% off the time.

- Didn't like Sense. LauncherPro much better.

My 30days with are expiring before the 15th, so Verizon hooked me up a Droid (original) for the time being. Will be switching to Droid X once it's out.

Got a chance to play with DroidX for a little while yesterday at the store. It's feels lighter than Evo. Build quality seems better. Shot a few pics, and a small video with varying light conditions, and the playback on the phone looked petty good. Better than Evo.
[Droid X General] ChaosCarrot:
Hey guys first post here but I'm also planning on switching from my EVO to the Droid X, for a number of reasons, most of which have already been posted on here but w/e. Also, yes I did test it out in the VZW store and directly compared my EVO to their test Droid X.

-Slightly better screen

-Slightly faster processor

-Higher build quality, feels more high end and durable

-Better camera quality, dedicated camera button which I liked a lot

-Camera is more protected so to speak, EVO when you place it down the camera lense touches automatically

-Where I live VZW coverage is much faster (no 4g obviously) but still

-Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe VZW family plans are cheaper than Sprints

Having said that they are both really great phones and theres things about the EVO I will probably miss, such as

-Kickstand

-Sense UI > Moto UI imo

-Future 4g in my area likely

-Option of custom ROMS (as of now at least)
