Its like asking to give up your 65" 1080p plasma tv for a 50 just because things look better on the 50"...

I was an iphone user since day one, I am a mac user, from mac pros at home to macbook pros and so on.

I love mac products but I am telling you, they need to let the phone business period.

They just released the igimp and it already behind times.

Steve, if you want my business back, get your product on a better network, and give me a 4.5" or better full face screen.
[EVO 4G General] sfox8:
I finally got the chance to use an iPhone 4 in person yesterday because my cousin has one. The iPhone 4's screen is DEFINITELY much sharper and crisper. The only problem is that it's so small that when held at a normal length away from your face, you really can't tell. You have to be looking at it up close to really see any difference.

That being said, as much as I applaud apple for trying to improve their resolution, it doesn't help much that the screen is so tiny. I prefer the EVO's larger screen because it makes reading and seeing so much easier. Even my cousin admitted that the EVO is easier to read and that he wishes the iPhone 4 was bigger. Super screen resolution doesn't help too much if the screen is already so small to begin with.

Thank you for saying that. I went in a whole description in another thread about ppi to distance relationship. A good example. Most print media is at 300 ppi or more. Internet images are usually 72 ppi and look like crap printed out. Billboards which look great are printed at 25 dpi. Since you're viewing them from so far you can't tell.
[EVO 4G General] nuformzdesign:
Well, after doing some pen and paper math, I've figured out that if the Evo wanted to have a display of the same resolution as the iPhone 4 at approximately 329ppi, with a 4.3" size, we would be looking at a resolution of approximately 1216x730.

No doubt at all that would be one sick display, but considering the battery-draining iPhone 4 screen, and then making it roughly 70% larger surface area, and you can see where the problem would be. We'd have to come up with a 3500mAh battery just for it to be usable.

Iphone 4 display has is roughly 5.65 square inches, while the evo 4g's is about 8.15.

[Legend General] kpms:
Hi,

Please forgive me as I have been searching everywhere online and on the forum for my answer.

I have a HTC Legend (Virgin) that is unlocked - Running on Rogers.

1st Question: Is this phone Rootable? I have heard yes and I have heard no, based on the firmware that it is presently running.

2nd Question: Is it possible if the phone is rooted to flash a Basic 2.2 Android Rom (I personally don't use HTC Sense)

The reason I am asking as HTC Announced that 2.2 Will not be updated until Christmas time.

And Before anyone says I should have bought the NEXUS One - The reason - THE SIZE

That phone is huge, I previously had an Xperia X10, which was TOO Big and I quite like the build quality of the Legend.

Thanks for all your Help! I Greatly Appreciate it!
[Legend General] kylecore:
Yes the phone is rootable, but you're right it depends on what version you currently have installed. Check out the android development section to figure out what you can and can't do.

Froyo at christmas is incorrect.

Htc has said all current devices will have froyo before christmas. However speculation says the legend itself should most likely have it in or around august.

Next, if you manage to root your phone you can talk a look in the android development section(again) for the legend and you will find 1 or 2 froyo roms have been ported semi successfully. They work and run but have a few minor problems.

One is the cyogen mod 6 (I probably spelled it wrong)thread.

You cannot flash a stock version of froyo to the legend, you will have to use one of these roms.

Hope I could help. I'm looking at getting the virgin mobile legend myself soon. are you happy so far?
[Legend General] kpms:
Thanks

Thanks for your info! I was just feeling a little overwhelmed with all the info as I am not really up with all the lingo.

To answer your question about the Legend, I love it! The build quality is Superior, it just fits in your hand so nicely, and looks good there as well.

I have had MANY cell phones in the last 5 years (Well over 40...) and this is one that I know I will keep for a long time... More so than the iPhone.

Cheers.

[Legend General] RomNoR:
How did you unlock it?

Have you debranded it?

Did you succeed with installing 2.2?

Thanks!
[Legend General] REALslik:
this is what i wanna know because i am in the same position as you anf my root failed.
[Legend General] kpms:
Hey,

To be honest I took it to an Unlocking place in Vancouver, It took them aprox 20 min to complete, It still has a few Apps for Virgin/Bell on the phone however no where does it have the Virgin Logo Etc. I use the Rogers APN Settings rogers-core-appl1.apn and it works flawless with 3G

I have not been able to get 2.2 onto this phone at this point, I may just wait until it's pushed out by HTC.
[Legend General] rolfro65:
This sounds GR8!

I'm waiting for my Legend to arrive any day, now...

Do You know what they did to the phone? To unlock it i mean....

I ordered Wildfire but changed my mind and changed the order to Legend...

A good choice i think...

Been using my KAISER for a looong time now and it's time for a retirement, i think ;)

Just installed Donut Android on my KAISER but it soaks battery so i think i have to revert to WM 6.5 again....

I think i'll use it as a backup phone for some time :D

Does anyone know if tom tom works on Legend?
[Legend General] kpms:
The unlock was done through the store so not quite sure on how it was completed. I have seen many websites that offer the unlock.

In regards to TomTom try the Google navigation. It's amazing. Works great and integrates with your contacts and the mapping program quite well. I find the voice to be quite rough. Hopefully they'll allow changes to that after its out is Beta.
[Legend General] rolfro65:
Doesn't Google Navi go online to get positions?

Could be costly, wouldn't it :P

I'll try it out though :D

Tom Tom has the maps in map folder so no online search and so on....

regarding the unlock thingy i guess someone figures it out so we can do it ourselves ;)

Maybe somewhat like the KAISER unlock i guess...
[Legend General] RomNoR:
Where did you buy it?
[Legend General] stripp:
I bought my legend at Virgin (349 CAD) and am running Rogers as well, to unlock it you need to purchased the unlock code from HTC by providing the phones S/N. Their are lots of places online that will provide the codes for $10-20, I haven't been able to find a free source.

Currently their is no software unlock for this phone.
[Legend General] rolfro65:
I bought mine @ three(3)online Swedish site. I first ordered Wildfire but changed the order to Legend..... I'm happy like a baby ;)

I'm confident someone figures out how to unlock it quite soon. It's not branded so i'm searching for a way too unlock it right now... Any ideas, anyone?
[Legend General] Lola90:
Heard the n1 has already got froyo..i hope it wont be long for the legend & desire
[Legend General] jackblaq:
I have the Virgin Mobile (Canada) HTC Legend and can confirm I was able to successfully unlock it for usage on Fido/Rogers. After this I upgraded the rom using a gold card to a stock HTC rom to remove the Bell/Virgin crapware.

After this I found the downgrade path to 1.31 which has successfully allowed me to have the phone rooted. Now I just need to wait for a good rom to be made with sense. So far all the roms I have tried do have their own issues like, camera problems, pinch zoom functionality...
[Legend General] sian88:
I cant w8 ;)
[Legend General] fieldop:
Sounds good, Im going to grab myself one from Virgin soon, except they are all sold out in canada now:( i currently have a European version, run around edge only but i love it. By the way, where did you find the stock HTC rom?

I have used rom manager, tryed flashing different recovery images and nothing.

[EVO 4G General] Dreddge:
Which root method are you trying? Do you currently have root? If so, You need to use use the start over method in the development section of the forums. I believe OPs name is whitslack or something similar.

Have you tried simple root?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
OK, so I did the update and I also used the simple root to gain root...however I was in the thread when rooting was first unlocked with the new update and he posted up a quick version of simple root before it was released and it worked fine.

I flashed Fresh and used it a while, but, when I pressed power and volume down it went to a screen and ran a bunch of update, asked me to install so I did.

Then when I went to recovery it gave me the red triangle, so I rebooted and it wiped my RoM out. I downloaded rom manager and it wont let me flash clockwork, and error occured while trying to run priviledged commands.

I dont know whats happening but would you guys suggest I try to run the new 4 step simple root? Or maybe put the new update on my phone then try the 4 step simple root?

*edit* I do have a nandroid backup but cant find anywhere to access it. I see it on my SD card tho
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
Sounds like when you pressed vol and power, it took you to the boot and found a pc36img. You flashed this so I am assuming you could have just lost your recovery.

I would try the root method again, but this time when you are done, remove the files from your SD card
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
Ok I will try it, do I remove EVERYTHING that concerns the rooting process from the SD card?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:

For anyone who gets this error, it seems that it's caused by too many modules with the rom. I find that when building the rom and if I get too many warning of duplicate modules then I will get the error.
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
That's not too many modules, that's too many 'duplicate modules.' Look in the build log, and see what packages have duplicate modules. Then fix the issue. Kitchens don't like over-writing a module with a module (over-writing a file with a module isn't a big deal). It may just be a case that you have two different packages with modules that have the same name, like Common.dll or Setting.dll (hate it when that happens). In that case, you're kind of screwed, if the two dll's are important for two different apps; the only solution is to move one app out of ROM into program files. Make sure you don't have a bunch of Setup.dll's in you kitchen (don't have any, to be exact).
[Windows Mobile] Da_G:
Hey,

As farmer ted stated, the error really isn't to do with too many modules. Also the error you are posting here from NBHUtil is deceiving, probably the error is occuring earlier in the process.

You could try to comment out the lines in .bat where NBHUtil is run and instead use another NBH builder such as NBHImageTool.
[Windows Mobile] accessing:
Thank you guys for your input. Can you please shed some more light to this. How can I move an app out of rom to program files? Is that done by configuring the app.dat of a program?
[Windows Mobile] accessing:
comment out the lines in bat???? :confused: do you mean editing the kitchen rom.bat?

You are right Da_G. I must say that it happened before I even get to that point, I think even before I get to platformrebuilder. The warnings will beginning to pop up around my ext/shared packages then the visual kitchen will beginning to move really slow. When I check Windows task manager, the kitchen was eating up a huge chunk memory then the error comes up.

Another issue I got here is when setting a long ROM Version character length.

I tried making a long version like <name><name> #.#.#.# Build ##### and everytime I try that, NBHUtils spits out an error.. Same error as posted above.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] -Jordan-:
Hey guys, stumbled across this forum while searching for help with another issue and it's been a great help so far. :D

Anyway, have a new problem with the phone. I have (or atleast had) a fair amount of messages from various people. On my birthday of all days (I guess I was getting larger than average amount of messages?), the phone decided to display some error message which I didn't see and then deleted all of my messages, so people have messaged me for my bday and I have no idea what they have said, haha, but thats a seperate problem.

Went into the settings and the phone has checked 'delete old messages' again even though I made sure this was off when I first got the phone.

I changed it back and checked again... the phone has checked the box again. No matter what I do it keeps checking the box.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] istnelane:
I have that bug too. I do not know how to solve it. In order not to del my old messages, I just increase the text message limit (from 200 to 1000).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ed10000:
I have the exact same problem. Very annoying. I've lost a fair amount messages due to this too. Now I've increased the text message limit from 200 to 500 and I backup all my SMSes to my gmail account using "SMS Backup" every night. Seems to be the only way to preserve old messages at the moment.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] -Jordan-:
I've done that now too (up to 5000 as thats the limit), so hopefully it should be ok now, but I'd still like to know how to turn this auto delete function off if possible. I bought this phone because I was sick of how controlling the iPhone was, don't really want another phone that does what it wants, haha.

Up until today it used to just ask me if I want to delete older messages everytime I went into messages, but now its just decided it's going to do it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Sam1291:
Temp. Fix-ish.

I don't want to bump an old thread and I don't know if this has been solved yet but when I discovered this I did some tinkering and discovered it appears to be triggered by backing out of the messaging service using the back key. The trick is to use the home key to take you back to the home screen. This will allow you to always have "Delete old messages" unticked.

Until a fix is out I hope this helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] anoneemooz:
I had this issue before!

Surprisingly, it went away after flashing to another firmware (which turned out not liking) and then flashing back to my old firmware via Kies.

If you're unwilling to go that route, then I suggest using a different messaging app such as Handcent SMS or something like it and bypass the default messaging app all together. It doesn't look as nice as the default messaging app IMHO but it does not have all the quirks the former gives (like changing 3-SMS long messages to an MMS automatically...irritating!)

I heard Froyo will be fixing the annoyance I just mentioned. Maybe once the official Froyo from Samsung comes out all these small annoyances would go away. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Sam1291:
That 3-long SMS to MMS is annoying because I get unlimited SMS but it charges me the standard rate for MMS so it's stupid.

I never really reach the 5000 limit and I'm happy using the home key method as it is but good options otherwise.
