Spoken well, the Vibrant loyalist are just mad because they bought into Samsung's B.S. They're going to be still looking at their beautiful Sam crap phone with 2.1 until next year. In addition to that, the mflops on 2.2 does it no good. We get 5 time s the improvement JIT, wheres as they max out at 20 mflops pushing the CPU to the max. A Plastic piece of garbage along with those Samsung tablets, that thing is already having issues with 2.2 out the gate. SamSung doesn't have a clue when it comes to software. That's why they take so long to update. Dumbasses. LOL. The Nexus And EVo way more options and more balanced as devices. Hummingbird processor is a joke when it can't be utilized. GPS does't work on Froyo...port and the list goes on. Yeah they got sucked in and are defending it until the end. LMAO.
[Nexus One General] kamasi36:
How's the Froyo update treating you? Hmm. No show...maybe by Thanksgiving, certainly by Christmas. Loving Froyo and JIT on Nexus and Evo, not to mention front camera and dual LED on flash for back. Have you tried to take a picture with the vibrant without any light? I did and guess what you can't see ****. LOL. Touchwiz is by far the ugliest UI out there. Bar None!! You guys are FUNNNN NY!! Nexus and EVO are killing that plastic GARRR BAAGE!!
[Nexus One General] kamasi36:
Naw HTC has been doing this for a long time. Samsung's record? Well hit the search button and you'll see. They are King of no support. It's a shame that all of the highend devices have Froyo but Samsung and then they have the nerve to bring it out of the box on crappy tablets before their galaxy series get the update. That is criminal. I feel sorry for you not. Because I been saying all along beware of Samshitty.
[Nexus One General] kamasi36:
They have medication for that. I couldn't resist. Or you can always talk to somebody about....your problem.
[Nexus One General] kamasi36:
How did the benchmarks improve? A small improvement. You get the same benefit using modified kernels on the Nexus and EVO. FOr example Snap turbo. 2500 + benchmarks with 40+ linpack. Where Vibrant gets 2300+ with 20 linpack max on Froyo wit JIT applied.
[Nexus One General] dnsp:
Yep, Hummingbird sucks so much that Apple uses it on the Iphone 4. :rolleyes:

But, don't need do be so angry and frustrated, you still can put your outdated smartphone in a museum. :p
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
benchmarks are just a bunch of bull. My Nexus (Custom ROM) is not faster then my Vibrant (also custom ROM) (even without lag fix) so who really cares about benchmarks....

The main reason why i went with Vibrant is the touchscreen. Its much nicer, its much easier to type on, I can see it in direct sunlight with brightness setting at zero, touchscreen doesnt have any glitches, and its a 5-point touch vs 2-point on Nexus.
[Nexus One General] erikiksaz:
when it comes to video recording, do the samsung devices also have crappy audio?

What I'm getting at is; is the low quality audio in video recording due to the android OS or is it due to our n1 hardware?
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
audio is fine. check youtube for "Galaxy S 720p"
[Nexus One General] kamasi36:
I'm not angry or frustrated. Just setting out a thought and expressing my O- PINION. How's the shooting 720P in the dark? Also can't compare Apple to Samshitty. They in fact know how to optimize their hardware with their software, whereas, well you know the rest.
[Nexus One General] kamasi36:
How is notification and trackball alert? How is that flash working on your camera? I had the Vibrant for almost a month and exchanged it for an EVO which to me is in fact an upgrade on contract to a carrier. You can't say enough about dual Camera support. Vibrant is nowhere near as fast as EVO or Nexus customized. Vibrant also has little support in the dev community. How about loading Sense on that thing or see if you can get FM radio working. And so on and so on....
[Nexus One General] walie:
Nexus One fanboys are by the far the most annoying bunch around.
[Nexus One General] stuff:
Regardless, look at the hardware, and the hardware alone. It's got better hardwire, by far.

The Galaxy S WILL get 2.2. Not only has Samsung said so, and posted a date, but it's common sense that a phone of that magnitude would get the update.

Stop being so biased, and think about it for a second. The Processor/GPU in the Galaxy S is superior to the Nexus One. The touch-screen is, the amoled, etc.

Just because it doesn't officially have 2.2 yet (mind you, I have a 2.2 on mine and I can guarantee it runs smoother than your nexus one) doesnt mean it's a piece of crap phone.
[Nexus One General] ChongoDroid:
Lol fanboys are annoying... but I am an android fanboy through and through.
[Nexus One General] dnguyen1988:
Why is there even a discussion about this? Both phones are great in their own rights. People shouldnt even be arguing bout this Where's the love? Lol
[Nexus One General] tameracingdriver:
As an ex galaxy s owner, I guarantee there's no way an Sgs is faster in every day use than a nexus one, quite the opposite.

I happily got mine running at 2400 in quadrant but still it lagged. I'm also convinced that a lot of Sgs owners compare the responsiveness of launcher pro on their device with the stock launcher of n1 as it seemed the de rigour to replace touchwiz with it.

My n1 scores about 1000 less on quadrant, and yes it doesn't have the same quality of screen, but it is a hugely better phone in the real world with an order of magnitude less bugs and frustrations, as well as running noticeably faster in every day operations.

Far from being a fanboy I am about as unbiased a person as you'll meet, I speak as I find, and the Samsung was one of the most frustrating gadgets I ever used. I don't get fanboys at all, why stick your head in the sand?

As for froyo on the Sgs, have a look on their forum and see how many complain that current froyo builds are slower and buggier than the later eclair builds. Doesn't bode well.
[Nexus One General] bsinc1962:
I've owned both devices. The Captivate through ATT and my Nexus 1. Both phones are fantastic devices. I did however have to return my Captivate after 2 weeks of use due to some issues that were just unacceptable for me.

I absolutely loved the screen on the Captivate. In my opinion it is better than the one on the Nexus. It was just easier to see all the time, especially outdoors. 16gb of on board storage was great. I didn't have to worry about how much space was left for programs. The camera was good even without a flash. So why return it?

Number one was the poor GPS performance. I tried every setup I could find online to try and fix it but it just wouldn't consistently lock on. To me it is more a hardware problem than software. No trackball or touchpad. I was surprised at how much I missed it. No notification lights. And most of all the phone would randomly just shut itself off which was not an isolated problem if you look online.

I guess for me it just came down to dependability. The phone was great but for me I need a phone that is not only packed with features but works when I need it to work.

I know if those problems didn't exist I would still be using the Captivate but sadly they were real. So here I am still using my Nexus.
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
Dont have those problems on Vibrant.....GPS works (now it goes), and my phone has never shut down. ps. Vibrant has both 3G radios, for ATT and for T-Mobile.
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
I know lots of Galaxy S owners complained about lag, I havent noticed much on my Vibrant and I dont even use lag fix now. I am planning on trying new Kernel with new lag fix later (called Zmod i think)
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
Never cared about Sense (I have all the widget from Sense)

I haven't listened to AM/FM radio in past 5-7 year...

So it all comes down to: (flash light, noise cancellation, trackball, notifications) vs (Tv-out, DivX/Xvid support, camera with low light performance, extra 0.3'' screen, much better touch and screen, and much better GPU).

Development-wise, of course its not the same as Nexus. Nexus is a developer phone now. But even with Nexus things come to end, and this end is very close. I haven't updated my custom ROM on Nexus for a good 2-3 month now because its not getting any better, its already VERY good.

On Vibrant developers are just stating to cook. We already have 4 different ROMs (including beta or alpha froyo), 3 different kernels (4th 1.6gzh is coming), and 3 different radios to work with. < Thanks to Team Whiskey

ps. I tried going back to Nexus, but after using 4'' SAMOLED for several months, its hard to go back. Nexus screen seemed to small, hard to type on, and too dark on low brightness setting (low for battery life).

If no improvement comes to Galaxy S, with new model or maybe a killer Froyo performance, and maybe if Nexus will if fact be the first to run Gingerbread, I will think about switching again.

Still got milk huh?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willverduzco:
So I was hoping that anyone here could shed some light on an issue that one of my friends who just bought a Nexus is having. His N1 is bone stock, and is an AT&T model. Every once in a while, completely out of the blue, the screen will turn black and restart, but then enter an infinite boot loop, where the only solution is to remove the power adapter and battery.

In trying to pinpoint the problem, we have noticed:

-It really only tends to happen when the device is plugged in.

-It's not related to the battery, charger, or microSD (since we tried mine to no avail)

-It's probably not kernel, ROM, or radio related (we let it do the OTA 2.2 update, and the crashes were still present)

I don't understand why it only happens when the phone is plugged in. The phone isn't hot to the touch, so I doubt that the battery is over heating.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

PS. I tried searching, but the only mention of boot loops I could find were on custom ROMs and Kernels...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tech_Boy:
Exact Same problem and Phone here!!!

Just got it today too! Please any suggestions would be nice! Want to root this phone but to afraid there is a hardware issue!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willverduzco:
My friend ended up calling HTC and they asked him to return it, which he did, for a full refund. Ironically, he ended up getting a Samsung Galaxy S (ATT Captivate variety). Nexus one, although less powerful, is more sleek in my book...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinke123:
I've got almost the exact same problem on an AT&T N1 running Froyo FRF91, the two differences I have are that the phone does feel hot to the touch, and that it never happened on 2.1. If anybody has some info on this it would be greatly appreciated, but I will be calling HTC/Google in the next few days to see if we can resolve this problem.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpav80:
Hey guys,

I had a very similar problem with my phone rebooting while charging especially on the Car Dock. I ended up doing an exchange with Google/HTC and received another unit. This one now has no problems with rebooting. I suggest calling and getting your units replaced. My guess is there was a bad batch that have hardware issues.

Jay
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tech_Boy:
What can I do if it is unlocked? Any chance they still help you out? Or just forget it?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpav80:
I don't think it would hurt to just give them a call. I have read some forums where people have sent unlocked phones in for repair and then got them back fixed and re-locked. It is worth a shot instead of having a faulty phone. I did the exchange option and it did take me a while to get my replacement phone, but that was due to HTC moving their repair facility according to the tech. The techs that I have talked to have been helpful. If I thought a tech was no good I just hang up and try again with a different person.

Jay
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrmurph:
I have been having pretty much the exact same issues.

I have an AT&T unlocked/rooted N1.

Random reboots frequently when the phone is charging via plug or USB for seemingly no reason. I thought it may have been an app, or combination of apps, so I tried a combination of different steps to try and find a solution.

Wiped data/cache

Wiped data/cache & fix apk permissions (Amon Ra 1.7.0.1)

Wiped data/cache and flashed the current ROM I was using again

Wiped data/cache and flashed different ROMs (both 2.1 and 2.2 w/proper radio) including MCR r16-21, PhoenRom, LeoFroYo, Cyanogen 5/6 RC1 and even tried intersectRaven's Kernel's

Reformated the SDCard both via gparted from Ubuntu live cd and Amon Ra's recovery 1.7.0.1

Swapped out the SDCard thinking possibly a bad block

And finally re-flashed back to shipping stock 2.1 and stock recovery w/successful OTA 2.2 install

All steps I was able to get my N1 to randomly reboot plugged in or not. I even had it sitting on my desk at work unused for 30-40 min (running CM RC1) and it rebooted with no user input what-so-ever. It happens more often while plugged in but was not limited to charging state.

All that said, I finally called support, took about 30 min total to arrange a replacement. This included a factory reset while on the phone with the tech and I was able to get the phone to reboot within a few minutes of first boot.

Take it for what it is worth, but I am positive that this is a hardware issue in my case. Just hope my replacement goes without penalty (unlocked and all) and that my new N1 doesn't have the same issues.

Is it possible to put iOS4 on the evo and have a dualboot one for Android and the other for iOS4
[EVO 4G General] 063_XOBX:
No iOS is not open source
[EVO 4G General] verse187:
Thanks anyways
[EVO 4G General] kthejoker20:
now why would you want to kill a perfectly good phone?
[EVO 4G General] mebo73:
really.. spend the money and get an iPhone if that's what u want to do
[EVO 4G General] 063_XOBX:
I wonder if the Evo would still be able to make calls if you put iOS4 on it ;)
[EVO 4G General] k2snowboards88:
The iphone is one cheap silicone case away from being very very good hardware. Just buy an iphone (and a cheap case) if you want ios.
[EVO 4G General] cnstarz:
why would anyone in their right mind want to poison their evo with apple's software???
[EVO 4G General] verse187:
No is just good to have different things on a phone
[EVO 4G General] Veritas06:
What is it about iOS4 that you can't get on the EVO/Android? My brother has the iPhone4, & there is nothing he has that i couldn't find in the Marketplace.

If you're looking for something specific, i'm sure you can find an Android version of it.
[EVO 4G General] blakerboy777:
Don't kill the OP

Come on guys, it's a legit question (even if it might seem pretty blasphemous to us). As for the original question, if you want to dual boot, there's potential to put any Open Source OS on just about any hardware. If you want to have a closed source OS (like iOS, WinMo, WebOS, Blackberry OS [oh dear God WHY?!], Mac OSX Leopard, etc...) on your hardware, you'll pretty much have that pre-installed on the device. That's why you can put Android onto the HTC HD2, but you can't put WinMo 6.5 on the EVO 4G.

Bottom line, if you want iOS4 + Android, you'll have to buy an iPhone if you even want a chance. I don't think they have it working yet, but I know they've ported Froyo to the older hardware, so it might just be a matter of time.
[EVO 4G General] nateroc:
Forum reeks of fanboyism. Simple question required a simple answer. The evo is far from a perfect phone... If that was the case.. I wouldn't have to root it and play tricks on my battery just to make it last longer than 5 hours. Android wouldn't be where it is today if it wasn't how iOS changed the way we look at smart phones. And apps that aren't on the android? bejeweled 2, angry birds, words with friends, a half decent facebook app, espn score center is terrible on the droid as well... I could go on... Both phones have their flaws.but I can see why the interest in wanting a dual boot phone. more than likely not happening anytime soon if not at all.
[EVO 4G General] verse187:
Exactly there is no good apps in the market place iPhone appstore has better plus it was just a freaking question not so you guys could bash on me wtf what kind of community is this ?? Have respect
[EVO 4G General] GHOST99K:
Buy an ipod touch

- sent from beneath the earth
[EVO 4G General] cnstarz:
right, out of the 85k apps in the market place, absolutely none of them are good for anybody whatsoever, which explains why no one downloads anything from the market anymore, and also explains why android is definitely not catching up to iOS.
[EVO 4G General] smarcin:
You know, you don't have to be an Apple fanboy (or girl) to want to see if this can be done. It's like trying to solve a puzzle. I really wouldn't want an iphone, but hacking iOS4 onto an Android phone would be fun. And, there are some apps for the iphone that don't exist in the Android Market.

BTW, I have a Dell Mini 9 that runs Snow Leopard just fine. Am I in love with Apple? Not really, though I have an iMac, as well as Windoze boxes and Linux, too. I'm posting from Linux on my dual boot Aspire One, wirelessly tethered to my Evo. I think I'm gonna try the Ubuntu hack for my Evo next. It's all about choices. ;)

[EVO 4G General] Sebrina:
I wonder if the cameras would still work if you upgraded the Evo to anything other than 2.1, lol.
[EVO 4G General] Wire P. Snyder:
Only one thing to say. Get rid of your Evo and get an iPhone. Android apparently is not for you.

Wire P. Snyder on EvO...
[EVO 4G General] baiatul:
Even if you could, it would lack all the drivers that belong only to the EVO components, and many features would be unavailable.
[EVO 4G General] topdnbass:
Possible... Hmm.. yea but does anyone want to? No.

Swyped from my Evo 4G
[EVO 4G General] rutter9:
The only thing I miss from the iphone is words with friends. I don't want a program "like" the game, but would want them to play nice on the different operating systems.

Does anyone know if there's any Android App that converts WAV files to other formats like AMR or other compressed formats?

I know there's desktop apps for this but I'd like to do everything on phone.

Thanks for any info.
[HD2 General] bobbified:
In my Contacts, if someone has more than one phone number, I store the separately because I find it easier to find and dial a specific number.

example:

John Doe (Mobile)

John Doe (Work)

John Doe (Home)

But I seem to only be able link John Doe's facebook profile to one of the numbers to use the 'contact picture'. When I try and link the same person's facebook profile to the other numbers, his/her name doesn't appear in the list to choose from anymore.

Does anyone know whether it's possible to link the same facebook profile more than once so that all three of the numbers show the contact's facebook profile pic?
[HD2 General] Lamsebamsen:
To be honest, I don't think it's possible.

- and to be even more honest, I think you might be the only person on the planet thinking dividing people into more contacts than one combined is the easiest.

I just don't think HTC thought anyone would find it more logical that way...!?
[HD2 General] p107r0:
FB contact pictures should be stored in Windows\FBContacts folder, try assigning those to your contacts manually
[HD2 General] bobbified:
hahaha.. i find it easier to find and dial someone's number like that... that is, one-press instead of two when someone has more than one number... may just be that i'm used to it that way.. :D

Really, my contacts were only stored that way because the original list was exported from a whole range of different phones... some that didnt have the capability to store more than one number for a contact. There's hundreds of numbers that I really don't want to sort out individually... and of course I might end up going back to a basic phone in future.

oh wellz... :p
[HD2 General] bobbified:
thanks p107r0.. i gave that a shot, but when selecting the profile picture, there's no option to go into the Windows\FBContacts folder to get the picture...

I'm guessing if there was a way to acess that folder to select a file, it might work well because the pics in that folder would get updated accordingly (but the file name would remain the same) whenever someone changes their profile pic.

Can always copy that entire folder into an "Album", but it won't update itself if someone changed their profile pic.
[HD2 General] oximobil:
my advise is to sync your contacts with gmail. gmail provides you with easy way off finding duplicates and also merging contacts. you'd be amazed how easy it is.
[EVO 4G Accessories] weezer562:
So I purchased these about 3 weeks ago and have been happy about it so far.

Purchased FULL BODY KIT

http://phantomskinz.com/htcevo4g.aspx

Look:

Overall not noticeable. On the sides you can see lines where the 3 side body kit pieces meet. I had to trim them down a bit to make them fit. I think i may have stretched them a little.

At first I had a few air bubbles over the last 3 weeks they have all seemed to go away.

However I can still see slight remnants of whatever adhesive keeps it in place I do see less but I guess in time ill know whether it will go away entirely. I can only see it on the screen when it is off.

Feel:

Feels fine no rubbery feel which is what i was attempting to stay away from.

Overall Impression:

I like it so far and was shipped 2 kits so on a 2nd attempt i know I can do a lot better. Also to note you can replay current skin as often as you want or so they claim have not tried it yet.

some pics:

back of phone:

Front side phone: You can see the side issues i had but i can do better later I'm sure.

Thanks more info just ask
