Its pure personal preference, I tried 10 and didnt like it, mainly due to pinch to zoom and reflow......... the flash is tempremental... I got youtube working but other flash content didnt........

Theres no harm in having both 10 and 9.7........

In this case you can have your cake and eat it..........

For flash I'd reccomend skyfire........its quite slow and the ui is ugly and dated but it works 95% of the time as far as flash is concerned......... again though its all down to personal preference...........

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandmasterethel:
I have been using a class 2 16 GB SD card that I bought off play.com for a while now, and it worked perfectly in both my Hero and my N1, until recently. Since flashing Froyo, I have been having some issues, for example my mp3 files are not indexed in the music app, so nothing shows up, also my phone was freezing, both when I unplugged it from USB and at other random intervals.

So I decided to try another SD Card to see if it would clear up the music indexing problem. Since then, that has worked, and my N1 does not seem to have frozen at all.

Has anyone else had any issues like this, and could the SD card be causing my phone to freeze? (By freeze I mean it sits with whatever I was doing on the screen, but is completely unresponsive, and sometimes if I wake the phone it sits on the slide to unlock screen with the screen dimmed.

Thanks for any help.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrycycle:
I have a issue like this and I re-formated the the card and all worked for me. I again had the issue with another card I just took all data off the card and all worked so there was a file that had corrupted on the card. Hope this helps
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandmasterethel:
That is definitely useful. Thank you.

Did your problem involve freezing at all?
[Droid X General] microdot:
As of 2 days ago i have never been so sure about wanting a new phone as i was the Droid X. Now there are rumors all over the internet that Verizon will launch its 4G network (aka LTE) on November 15th and have a couple of 4G devices on sale on black Friday. An on top of that the rumors are that they will sell the iphone in January on the 4G network. (not that ill choose the iphone over the Droid X).

I am just wondering, am I jumping the gun here with the Droid X? I am assuming whatever phone with launch with 4G is going to have to be kickass phones. I am also assuming that the Droid X will not be 4G compatible. I hate to pass up this beast and then its just rumors but for some reason i think there is some truth in these ones. Thoughts please
[Droid X General] Breakthecycle2:
I would venture to guess that the Droid X will be 4G compatible...maybe?
[Droid X General] Mikerrrrrrrr:
LTE doesn't make that much of a difference to me. Take a look at 4G -- it just got switched on in a few more cities, bringing the number up to a paltry dozen or so (I think? Not quite sure). LTE might also be slow to roll out. Besides, it's a new technology, and it might eat battery like on the EVO.
[Droid X General] cbaty08:
I am def rethinking... I don't know why though.... I mean 3g is pretty quick here for anything I would ever do ON MY PHONE... it's not like I am ripping torrents through this connection or something.....

I will probably pull the trigger and be happy as ever...
[Droid X General] rolandroland:
The question is what does 4G data cost? I assume there is a surcharge like Sprint? I can wait on 4G until there isn't a surcharge, unless it is nominal.
[Droid X General] cbaty08:
Sprint has a surcharge for 4g?? What the....
[Droid X General] rolandroland:
$10 extra if you want 4G
[Droid X General] cbaty08:
Dang... I think I am just gonna get the X... I would bet big red charges then if others already are... Plus it will be a while I think before both the phone and coverage get to me...

[Droid X General] drew630:
Many sources at verizon claim 4g will launch in november with only mobile broadband devices (ie mifi laptop 4g) but devices/phones wont launch until q1 or q2 2010
[Droid X General] cbaty08:
Do you mean q1 q2 2011?
[Droid X General] drew630:
Yes. From what I have heard around the watercooler, early 2011 for consumer devices..
[Droid X General] tsanuri:
Not to metion unless you are in one of those 25-30 markets you will not have it right away. And I can safely say I am currently not.
[Droid X General] microdot:
Well from what i read Verizon will not charge the extra $10 for 4G but will however used tiered data plans for its 4G phones like AT&T is doing. SO goodbye unlimited data plans. Doesnt make sense, the second they come out with the powerful devices that are basically mini laptops, hotspots and GPS in , they put a cap on the data for these data hundry devices. Just clearly shows again how money hungry they are. Like $30 a month from millions of customers is not enough.

That said, after thinking it through i will also get the doid X. 6 months is a long time to wait to see if rumors pan out. Plus this puppy is running on 1Ghz and will be plenty fast. I even saw is video today where i played video at 60fps. Iphone 4 can only do 30. The video was so so smooth.

I cant wait for July 15th!!!!
[Droid X General] leestyle:
Where'd you hear that one from?
[Droid X General] microdot:
i saw it in a youtube video where i guy did all these test on the droid's speed. I tried to insert the link but it gives me a error. Just go to youtube and type in droid x benchmark test. Should be a clip where he compaires the droid x, evo and nexus i think
[Droid X General] rolandroland:
Want to bet 4G phones wind up requiring the highest tier? Effectively charging for 4G. I just don't see VzW (and every other carrier) not taking advantage of early adopters.
[Droid X General] AdamLJ:
No. Lets say it comes out in 6 months in "select areas". I can upgrade my phone one year from July 15th and more than likely LTE won't be in my area until mid to late 2011 or even 2012. Not worried one bit.
[Droid X General] Barkleyfan:
I can't see the lte footprint being useable for a couple years anyways. Dig the X, but think I'll b sticking with my Droid for a while.
[Droid X General] mavermc:
My omnia just broke last week (won't charge any batteries, i think the temp sensor is fried)

So I don't really have a choice but to upgrade to the X, it's the only phone i can do early because otherwise i have to wait till august. And this vx6700 is not very nice to me.

That being said i'm a little upset with the hdmi issue, that was one of my main reasons.

but just to talk about 4g i really doubt it will be much of a battery hog. because sprint basically is just reselling a wimax service (which i do get in my area around chicago) and it is fast but it's not worth using unless i'm on a laptop (because of the battery drain) and soon the unlimited will probably go away like the rest.

And if i'm not mistaken the sprint 4g (wimax) runs at about 2.5ghz? or so. Where I think verizion will incorporate this in there 4g.

http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5iMbsPSv2vatAVvbz_8n0xU3Mfvnw

While 700mhz doesn't provide much bandwidth, My guess there going to use that in tandem with eh EVDO (i think 900mhz ish?) that they currently have, kind of like an A/G router will use both the freq to increase throughput.

Call me stupid but i think having another antenna at a lower freq like that will use up less power then the sprint one at 2.5ghz, but i could be wrong.
[Droid X General] crunkman989:
With a new technology as 4g/LTE...I'm pretty sure the surcharge may be a bit pricey....guess we will have to wait and see.
[Droid X General] QuickSilver98:
Getting a one year contract on the X. By next July there will be several LTE phones out and hopefully 4G will be in my area :)
[Droid X General] veeeee:
Exactly right. Why worry about 4G when you don't even know what areas it will be available.
[Droid X General] microdot:
I am doing the same thing. Cant wait for the 15th. I figure at the pace that these devices are coming out it is definately worth it to pay the extra $70 and have an upgrade option in a year especially with 4G devices, Motorola devices with front facing cameras and dual processors for phones around the corner. But something tells me i will be very happy and content with the X for a while.
[Droid X General] MiXoLoGiSt:
I don't think LTE will be fully operational until 2013.
[Droid X General] grndnpnd:
lte

Just to let you all know lte will be rolling november 25th(so they say) in 30 markets but it will only roll to mobile broadband for a while until they dev more markets before they even think about launching a hand held so we are probably looking at another 6 to 12 months after launch until we see a phone that is lte capable reported speeds are amazing tho in seattle testers are getting 5-12mbps dwn 2-5mbps up so dont hold your breath and im jumping on the droid x
[Droid X General] dnar56:
It will only be test markets in Q4 for LTE so only big cities like NY and SF will get it then it should officially roll out by this time next year and by that time you will be eligible for an annual upgrade to a Droid X 2 or Galaxy S 2:D
[Droid X General] Big Dawg 23:
Verizon has said it will be 30 Markets by end of Q4 not test. They are already putting on select users in those two test markets.

As for the original question. No it doesn't make a difference to me. I don't see a 4G device until Later Q2 or early Q3 in 2011. It is only a guess but I have a funny feeling the June iPhone 5 Announcement will include Verizon and be LTE 4G.
[Droid X General] PlankLongBeard:
Okay,i don't know if everyone knows, but, last night engadget blew up with pictures of the lte sim cards, the press material and the little specs of what we have to expect at launch.

I wont bring my droidx back just yet. I want to see how this turns out. Verizon, is really about to light a fire under the world. Literally, with ltd at home and mobile.

Sent from my DROIDX via Telepathic DLNA.
[Droid X General] rainabba:
OH! I have an EVO 4G!!! Oh yah, nevermind. It doesn't matter. The 5th largest city in the country doesn't have Sprint 4G coverage.

Get my point? Not like others haven't basically said the same thing, but logic says that Phoenix would have 4G before Las Vagas given the landscape and population (comparing the two) and still, we don't have it and there's NO ETA for it.

I would be just as sure that Verizon will roll out their LTE 3.9G (it's not 4G strictly speaking) network here in Phoenix as I was that Sprint would roll out their WiMax 4G network, but since I was dead wrong, I'm not holding my breath for Verizon either. Anyway, I get 1.2Mb pretty consistently and that's been plenty fast when I needed it and WiFi wasn't available.

Now I'm no RF specialist by any stretch, but I've assembled a few AM and FM radio kits in my life and played with a good number of different antenna technologies so I'm confident here, but there's room for error so correct me if I'm wrong. Verizon's proposed upgrade will run in the 900Mhz realm where WiMax runs in the 2.5GHz. That means that WiMax has more bandwidth available for a given amount of power with line-of-sight, but the moment you lose line-of-sight, you have to bump the power up significantly to account for the attenuation where the 900MHz signal will penetrate better thus needing less power. Because of the super-cool tricks they use, the 900Mhz base doesn't really hurt bandwidth (multiple carriers, frequency hopping, etc). I expect this means that "LTE" enabled phones that technology won't see the battery consumption the WiMax enabled ones will.

If I'm wrong, please educate me (asking sincerely).
[Droid X General] vaxick:
First LTE phones are hitting vzw near the end of the year. Not worth waiting for. Only things coming out soon are LTE internet cards.
[Droid X General] omnicious:
Only thing making me question the Droid X (and Verizon in general) is the rumors of them changing to a tiered data plan. Why get a data-centric phone like the Droid X with a company with tiered data.
[Droid X General] exempli_gratia:
If that's the concern, I would think you'd want to lock in today's unlimited contact.
[Droid X General] hooch27804:
I thought VZW's LTE was in the 700mhz for the FDD and the 1900 mhz range for the TDD. I'm just asking.
[Droid X General] swagner53:
No regrets here. I live in a rural area, it will be a while before i get any 4g coverage. And i am glad i am now grandfathered to an unlimited data plan.
[Droid X General] dB Zac:
I second that
[Droid X General] jross@televate.com:
VzW at 700 MHz, MHz = Mbps

Rainabba,

You are correct that 700 MHz travels farther than 2.5 GHz frequencies. That means that power levels required for the PDA to transmit will be reduced in most cases.

Several have pointed out that there's more throughput at 2.5 GHz. That's incorrect. Ultimately, the throughput of any technology depends on the bandwidth used by that technology. VzW will use a 10 MHz channel for uplink and another 10 MHz for downlink traffic at 700 MHz (2x10 MHz). Clearwire/Clear/Sprint uses a single 10 MHz channel for both uplink and downlink traffic at 2.5 GHz (1x10 MHz). So, both paths have to share that capacity (by slicing up time). LTE and Wi-Max have about the same throughput per MHz, so VzW should have double the throughput of Sprint. Also, in the longer term, since LTE will have more scale (more adoption throughout the world by the cellular carriers), LTE will be have more R&D investment which will result in more speed improvements and lower costs compared to Wi-Max.

Verizon's real competition is AT&T. AT&T uses a technology called HSPA and uses a 5 MHz channel (paired). Verizon's 1xEVDO uses a 1.25 MHz channel. That's why speed tests posted around the internet show AT&T beating Verizon. So, Verizon is going to have a big incentive to roll out LTE as fast as it can wherever AT&T has 3G service. They've already announced some 20+ cities for 2010 and I would imagine that they will roll out the rest of the country just as fast as they can.

Hope that helps....

No need to worry i think..... saw this over at phonearena.com

"One for our tipsters sent us some information and pictures showcasing Verizon's new data plans that will go into affect on October 28th. Starting next Friday, Verizon will no longer classify some devices as a "3G Multimedia Phone" and is eliminating the required $9.99 data plan that included 25MB of monthly use. The new data plans are detailed below, but if you are a current customer you can keep the plan you are on.

3G Feature Phones - $1.99 per-MB pay as you go (if you don't use data, then you don't pay), $15 for 150MB (overage is $15 for another 150MB), and $29.99 for unlimited use.

3G Smartphones - $15 for 150MB (overage is $15 for another 150MB) and $29.99 for unlimited use.

3G Tablets - $20 for 1GB (overage is $20 for another 1GB), $35 for 3GB ($10 for 1GB overage), $50 for 5GB ($10 for 1GB overage), and $80 for 10GB ($10 for 1GB overage).

3G Netbooks/Notebooks - $50 for 5GB ($10 for 1GB overage), and $80 for 10GB ($10 for 1GB overage).

MiFi 2200 and Five Spot - $50 for 5GB ($10 for 1GB overage), and $80 for 10GB ($10 for 1GB overage). Or as part of a 90-day promotion $35 for 3GB.

No changes will be made to 3G USB Modems and PC Cards, which will remain at $39.99 for 250MB and $59.99 for 5GB. All Prepaid data plans will also remain unchanged, which include $15/day for 100MB, $30/week for 300MB, $50/month for 1GB, and $80 for 5GB."
[Droid X General] rainabba:
Thank you for a very insightful and detailed explanation. I was having a debate the other day with someone asking these lines and this clears up a lot :)
[Droid X General] UCE HAMOCIDE:
First off, the Droid X will not be 4G compatible. Apple recently stated that they wont pushing 4G iPhones until 2012. They're waiting until LTE becomes a more stable network. They're more concerned with pushing extended 3G coverage.
[Droid X General] jcha22:
Next year..Motorola is going to come out with a new phone called the Terminator... it's suppose to have a dual core processor... I'd get the X now and hold off for a year for the new dual core phone...
[Droid Eris Android Development] dmullins80:
My speaker sounds blown and I want to go to Verizon to replace it. Do I need to downgrade be fore I try? Are they going to look at my software?

Also, I'm sure if / when I get a new Eris its gonna have 2.1. Will the same root method work as the on I used for 1.5?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ramseyja:
to avoid problems you might want to unroot. running the ruu would solve that.

if your new one comes with 2.1, then you have to use the difficult method for root. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=711535

if you are extremely lucky maybe you can score a 1.5 phone, then root would be the same as before

*** you could call customer service, tell them about your speaker issue, get them to send you a new one. that would prolly take a couple days, then just unroot your phone before sending it back.
[Droid Eris Android Development] dmullins80:
Thanks for that... ill probably call CS and let them send me one.. that way ill be rooted up to the min :) . Also, no people confrontations.

Thanks again obtuse info
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] thefunkaygibbon:
Sometimes, you want to remove an app without a PC near by, or ADB is being a pain on your PC and Moxier is really annoying you.

So here is a quick step-by-step guide to removing apps without needing one of those pesky computers

You will need... your rooted Android phone with Terminal Emulator installed.

Open up Terminal Emulator.

The first step here is to mount the system directory with read/write permissions:

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

Now, for system apps, we need to change directory to the system apps folder:

cd /system/app

Next, to list all the apps in here simply type:

ls (thats lower case L, not upper I)

Finally, the actual removal of the app, I will use Moxier Mail as an example, as this is everyone's favourite app to Remove, but as long as it is in the above list, this works:

rm -r moxiermail.apk (this IS case sensitive)

Hope this will help someone out there.

All of the above has been found from Google, I just put it here because I have needed it recently and thought others may too.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Mobzter:
I just used titanium backup.. no need to fiddle with codes ;-)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] damirbusic:
Wait, Titanium Pro can uninstall Moxier and Quadrapop ? So we can just root the phone and with that app remove apps that we dont want ?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Mobzter:
Yup.. Got rid of alot of apps including the ones above, mediascape and timescape an all

although slight issue with timescape removal (i think) was error when you wanted to view a contact in detail.. although I've alwayz preferred long holding contact name to call, sms, etc.. I'm sure a contact app could be a solution to this.

hope it helps!!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] joel4149:
Did the same with titanium, thanks, the long press won't let you choose other then the default number... installed phone book app from the market, works fine but cannot select to call from the search widget what was a must for me.

By the way, did you try to uninstall the phonebook.apk?

Also, does anyone knows how to re install timescape?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] damirbusic:
Then I really dont know why are people messing with those instructions and entering them in cmd, I was hoping to have this easy way for it.

Tnx

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Mobzter:
Nope joel.. I didn't try remove the phonebook app lol god knowz if anything would have worked then. I went on to instal the r2ba023 root so I knew what to avoid this time.. so far running really well unfortunately not havin a really good time with the battery though.. was similar to when I had r2ba020 root.. some reason it actually drains more than when I had the r1fa016 firmware lolz think I'm gonna try an extra charge overnight :-p wish me luck!!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] joel4149:
I wonder your results... Keep us posted please!

Well I actually knocked off so didn't get to extra charge lol but it was charged over 80% anyway so wasn't too fussed.. what I've noticed so far is in standby in an hr I've lost nothing, but when I use 3g/wifi I lose like 2% in like 10 mins or so!! wierd!!

If the command line method isn't working for you, you may have to enter

The best part about Titanium, is if you've purchased it, you can freeze apps if you're unsure if removing them will cause problems. If there are no problems after a few days, they should be fine to delete. If problems arise, just unfreeze the app.

Can somebody port this text input app to WVGA: http://www.exideas.com/ME/ProductsPocketPC.php

I've used it for several years and was very fast with it. But unfortunately since the HD2 happened to me :) I can't use it anymore.

Tips for doing the port myself are also very welcome

(BTW i've contacted the developer several times. But he is so "into" the apple iThingies that he totally ignores any requests about porting the WM app)
[Desire General] sonderschalter:
Meanwhile I have tried out all FroYo ROMs so far - and I really appreciate the work the developers invest. All of the ROMs are a great piece of work.

However, there is one issue persisting: white noise at the receiving end. Especially when I was in a crowded area or when it was raining, it became almost unbearable for the other end of the line. Due to the fact that I didn´t get an answer in the particular threads, I open this one.

Originally it was said that this problem occurs as the 2.2 ROMs are ported from the N1 ROM with it´s additional micro.

But now that the ROMs are built directly from AOSP, why is that issue still ongoing? Is it hard to fix it?

As I use my Desire for business purposes, I cannot take any of those ROMs what is a great pity, because all of them run so smooth apart from that.
