Can't use Cleartype-style technology on an LED.

That said, I can't see any pixels at normal viewing distance either, text is not quite as sharp as on iPhone4, but every bit as sharp (and with better contrast and more uniform lighting) as the excellent LCD on my Milestone (Droid).
[Captivate Android Development] drleospaceman:
It's the pentile matrix; I noticed it right away too, but it doesn't bother me too much. Hopefully someone makes a sort of ClearType for Android app.
[Captivate Android Development] kkeo:
It only looks bad when you zoom out on text (really small text). Imo text looks great on this device otherwise.
[Captivate General] rohizzle121:
it seems as though the vibrant's software for the camera is better by a long shot.

so once someone gets the custom rom show on the road, would it be possible to get the camera app from the vibrant?
[Captivate General] V DidDy 210:
it would, but it would all depend on whatever other apps the camera app is tied to and someone to test and see if they plug and play with everything else in touchwiz
[Captivate General] 60HertzJig:
It isn't free (UK2.99), but Vignette is the best camera app I've found for android. Well worth the money over the stock app, in my opinion.
[Captivate General] caelestis2:
Vibrant's camera isnt better, why make colors warmer then they appear? It might be sharper though I'm not sure.

I searched the forums for anything like this and couldn't find anything so I am starting a new topic.

I came across a new Android game that is under beta testing called Runes-MMORPG and from what I have seen, it looks really neat. They need tons of testers and people that will report bugs in the forums.

You need to register in the main site and register in the forums. Note: They ask for a lot of information like your home address; no SSN though :rolleyes: After you register in the main site, they will email you some instructions and a link to download their Runes.apk file.

Here's the link to their site:

Here's a link to sign up to the site and be able to play:

I, unfortunately, can't play it myself because I have a TP2 and the Android port for it is still under development, but I still want to know what you guys think.

Let me know! :p
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
How long did it take you to write it? Started in April? That's pretty decent time.
[Android Apps and Games] killlopez:
I just found out about it like 3 days ago. Too bad I can't try it out any time soon.
[Android Apps and Games] ogrenator:
watched the video on the site...doesnt seem too exciting anyone play it yet?
[Android Apps and Games] Khaelum:
I'm registered and downloaded/installed the game a couple of weeks ago, though I haven't really messed with it much.

I found it a tad confusing, so I need to read up on it to better understand what's expected of me.

Anyone else have tips/advice/suggestions?

no tutorial in games much, you have no idea what you doing in games also
[Android Apps and Games] cyberkamote:
I very much share the same opinions, Installed it a few weeks ago but stopped playing it for a while because I was a bit confused ons ome aspects..

in the official website last time i checked, FAQ isnt working yet,,

no online manuals/game guide can be found

in the map view, it doesnt show where you currently are..so I cant remember (or maybe im missing something?)

in the spellbook it deosnt clearly say what spells you already have and what you still need to unlock..

i cant explain it that much now, since I stopped playing but the UI seem to take time learning..anwyay, Im not uninstalling yet since this app looks promising..

im in, playing now.. not quite what i was hoping for. going to remove, was hoping will be more 3D action like runescape kinda game.

i beleive it has potential though.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Sanukk:
Hi All,

I use the mytraveline.mobi site quite often for bus times, although it will take street names, this can get quite messy (and you still have to know the street name) putting in the Post Code works better.

There are several apps that convert Post Codes to addresses or even give directions to them, I can't find any that will grab the GPS data and give the full Post Code, does such an app exist?

I know Google Maps will give a partial Post Code for any location, but this is not refined enough for accurate timetables.

Any other ideas?

~S
[Desire Themes and Apps] le3ky:
if its for buses have you tried the app called catch that bus? No postcode knowledge required
[Desire Themes and Apps] GrenW:
Have that app myself - nice piece of work. All it needs is the entire route for a bus (currently it works by listing times of all buses at the stop) with times and it'll be perfect
[Desire Themes and Apps] Sanukk:
Hi

Wow! that looks just the (bus) ticket. I did look on the market a while ago, must have been before this was added, just shows if you don't find something, keep checking back LOL

Thanks for the heads up.

[EVO 4G General] Landmine:
So I dropped my phone 2 feet and it exploded and the screen is done. I'd post pictures, but it makes me sad.

I've had the phone for 40 days or so, what can I do to not have to pay $550 for a new phone? Add insurance and wait a month? If I add the insurance what would it cost me per month and for a new phone?
[EVO 4G General] jerryparid:
As far as I know, you can only add Sprint TEP during your first 30 days. Check your credit card for accidental damage protection (Amex has 1 year extended warranty and 90 days accidental damage).

Repairing the screen probably won't be $550, but will be very expensive.
[EVO 4G General] nukedukem:
I'm sorry for your loss. As far as I know you can only sign up for insurance within a certain period of time after recieving the phone. I think you are past that timeframe.

I don't think there are any replacement screens available yet for replacing the glass yourself. You could search for something like that if you are the brave type, or look for a place that will repair it for you. But again, I don't think replacement parts are available yet.

In my opinion, if you want to avoid buying an expensive new phone I would buy the cheapest CDMA phone you can get from sprint (or Ebay) and wait until parts are available for the EVO.
[EVO 4G General] Aridon:
Without insurance you are pretty screwed. You can try adding it to your Sprint account now and see if they will let you and wait 40 days or so to file a claim.

Either that or pony up the cash for one on ebay.
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
Amex protection, while they are amazing, will only cover what you spent on the phone.

So if you got the phone for $199, they will reimburse you what you spent on it, not the cost of the replacement at $499.

I went through this with my wifes Pre. Dog ate it after 80 days. Amex said they would give me $199 for it (what I spent) but would need the damaged phone as proof. It would cost me $499 for a new Pre. Luckily I had insurance. I asked Amex if they would pay the $100 deductible for the insurance, but my insurance company would want the damaged phone to see if they could repair it.

They immediately credited my account $100 and was happy about it. They did not need the phone back.

I buy everything on Amex. Everything.

But in your case you have two options. Buy a new phone, or try to get away with insurance fraud.

I thought I read a post somewhere on here where someone found the front glass for sale for like $130.
[EVO 4G General] Landmine:
So Sprint added the insurance to my plan and told me it was active as of today. So I'm covered apparently, anyone know what it will cost me to use that insurance?
[EVO 4G General] corybucher:
It was $100 for me.
[EVO 4G General] Landmine:
Thank you. Suppose this thread can now be closed or deleted.
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
Please have some form of moral fortitude and carry the insurance for at least a year.

Glad you are able to get away with it. :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] Landmine:
I'm going to keep the insurance forever. I wanted to get it pre-drop but put it off because I was so "careful"... What a joke I am right?
[EVO 4G General] redrazr7791:
You live and learn ;)

Luckily Sprint allowed you to add the insurance past your 30 day mark. I understand that insurance can be added "anytime", but I guess they fed me a line of B.S. when they warned me that after my 30-trial period, I couldn't add it.

Either way...$100 is a heck of a lot better then having to dish out the full price of the phone.
[EVO 4G General] equinox654:
If you ever need insurance activate an old phone online then activate the one you need insurance on. It will let you add it then. It needs to be able to power on and join the network though.
[EVO 4G General] PAPutzback:
My Sprint insurance runs 15 a month per phone.
[EVO 4G General] chazglenn3:
Why? I have Total Equipment Protection (the best plan) and it is $7 per phone per month.
[EVO 4G General] ticklemepinks:
if sprint ever tells you that you can't add insurance tell them it's in the contract which it is, as long and they didn't kick you off because of too many claims ( i think 3 or more a year) they have to let you add it
[EVO 4G General] stillryan:
If you would have gone to a service and repair store like mine, you would have been charged a $119 fee and then we could either replace the damaged parts if we have them, or order you a replacement. Then you could also add insurnace after that as well.

Best thing is that the Evo is not hard at all for us to work on. The only hard part would be getting a screen. I can have one taken apart and swap a screen in probably 15 to 20 minutes.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilbur-force:
OK ... i have moved from WinMo and am liking Android. Been playing with stuff from the marketplace and Handcent etc and Im happy with all that.

Im now looking at trying some of the other touch keyboards.

My question is this. Everything Ive installed so far is an app - ie i start them by clicking an icon. They dont overwrite any of the standard 'Android' software.

With installing a new keyboard is this REPLACING the original keyboard ? Or can i simply unistall the new one if I dont like it and it will revert back to the stock one ?

To be fair I quite like the built in HTC keyboard with its text prediction but coming from WinMo and Flashing I just like to tinker :p

Chances are i will revert back to the stock one anyway ... just dont want to find ive overwritten it or lost features.

Ive not rooted .... not sure im brave enough yet :eek:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schiznik:
Do a long press on any text input box, and you should be able to change the keyboard with the "input method" option

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brad218:
now its asking me for a sim network unlock pin
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Binary100100:
If it's asking you for a network unlock pin then it's not unlocked (obviously).

So if you manage to unlock it then it will stay unlocked permanently.

Unlike some HTC devices you cannot use software to unlock the device.

So use a third party web service or an overlay card.

Has anyone else noticed problems with their Wi-Fi not properly jumping to the nearest wi-fi access point when you move around a large office or campus? I am the IT manager of a small company and we have 3 access points. I need to turn off wifi and turn it back on to connect to the nearest AP with walking around the office. Our laptops and iPhones do not have this problem. The three AP each have the same SSID, WPA2 encryption, but different channels that do not overlap. What gives?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cue_32:
K you kind folks.... if you had the opportunity to trade you Nexus One for HTC Desire?

would you? Or would you not do it? Please add reason.

I know they're practically the same phone but I'm caught in a dilemma here.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
I'd stick with the Nexus.

With the Desire, I'd just install a non-Sense ROM anyway :p
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bullyfrog:
Hmm..how about there's a higher chance the Nexus one will receive updates before the Desire (Gingerbread?) See how early it had froyo :)

Where I am from, the telco's are bundling line plans/contracts with Desires, making it affordable and common place. But there is nobody selling Nexus ones here. Now that Google has taken it off its store, this phone has just became even more rare. Love the unique feel about that :)

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cue_32:
And for all of you who responded... thanks. Now just to add a twist to it...

What if you had 2 Nexus Ones... would you still trade one of them? I'm really leaning towards no right now since the announcement that there aren't any more Nexus Ones.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryjabo:
No. Why would you?

Why do you have two?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple Drama Llama:
I was in the same boat as you last week. I went with the Nexus. The support for it is amazing and I prefer vanilla over Sense (I wasn't before I bought the nexus). I already has Froyo before any other Android device....Correction, WAAAAAAY before any other Android.... The phone is amazing and I love every aspect of it. Hopefully, I will have influenced your decision :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
If I had two, sure, I'd probably trade just to diversify. But I wouldn't want to replace my primary at this point.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple Drama Llama:
I agree with above. I wouldn't want two of the same devices.... Even though I do love my Nexus :D. What's the point of having two of the same device when you can have two different ones, with different designs and slightly different features.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cue_32:
Believe it or not the 2 that I have in my possession are Nexus # 4, and #5. I sold my 1st 3 and after the 3rd one, I couldn't last a day without the Nex. So I bought 2 and 1 as backup. (Wife using it in the meantime until she gets her iPhone 4...) I told her it's grounds for divorce for her to own an iPhone 4 =)

The diversity thing makes sense and was the main reason for a trade, but since the Google Announcement, it made it harder to let it go even if I had 1 already. That and that they are practically the same phone too.

Thanks for everyone's input... I'm not gonna do the Desire trade anymore, I'm working on trading it for a Galaxy S if anything. For Diversity sake, I just hope I don't lose my Nexus One somehow.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
i'd keep the nexus because the desire has more of a plastic back battery cover and isnt quite as good build quality as the nexus. but the desire is still awesome, i'd just give the edge to nexus.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G0belet:
I'd keep the Nexus, for its triband 3G radio. I'm in Europe and I want to be able to cross the Atlantic and have working 3G and just pop a SIM card in. That's one of the reasons why I had a N900 before, I like to know I have the possibility to make it work both in the US and in Europe. The T-Mobile version, that is.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adambenjamin:
Keep both Nexi. You wont really be getting diversity in my opinion. You will be getting a few more hard buttons and an optical pad instead of a trackball, and you will lose out on the N1 support. Be strong and hold out till an new phone is released that you don't think twice about switching to. It is not a bad decision to go with the trade, does the Desire sell as easily as the N1?

I have synced my contacts and when I go to contacts from the home screen I see them all (with the little g next to them), but when I try to assign a ringtone to an individual contact as I did on my G1, it takes me to an empty contact list with no option to see my contacts.

Close layers completely. Then run that app above and go back to layers. Should work now.. it works for the games... I just start that app after every reboot and it somehow calibrates the accelerometer. ...

Truly software not hardware or that apparently wouldn't make it work right...

I love this phone but Samsung needs to iron out some thing... that said ill keep it and hope Samsung delivers.. even if not its the best out IMO....

Common Samsung.
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
I noticed that when I reboot, the accelerometer functions well enough. It seems as if performance degrades over time.

When I first launched 'Homerun Battle', the shadow for the bat was completely erratic and impossible to use. After rebooting the device, it was playable. Once running that calibration app, it's smooth as silk. The device is definitely plagued by some annoying bugs. Who knows if Samsung plans to fix them or not. I wish they'd just come out with an official statement so we could stop worrying.

Asphalt 5 was super buggy. I didn't notice any improvements either way. The car would randomly teleport, sound would cut out and so forth. Papijump seems just as playable to me, either way (degraded, rebooted, calibrated).

Weird. :confused:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teario:
Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue.

After waiting for the VF 2.2 OTA update, it finally arrived yesterday morning. Great. Except now ADB doesn't detect the phone.

Plugging it in, putting it in debug mode etc and going trying ADB devices shows an empty list. Putting the phone in recovery and trying fastboot devices shows it with no problems.

If I plug in my HTC Magic (on 2.1-update1) and my Nexus One, adb shows only the Magic in the device list. ddms also doesn't detect the N1 but does detect the Magic without any problems.

I've tried reinstalling the driver, reinstalling the whole SDK, installing all updates, doing a factory reset on the device and everything else I can think of. Nothing seems to fix this issue. It's been logged in the android bug tracker, but not many people seem to be having the issue. The bug is here: http ://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9437 (sorry had to break it up because I'm not allowed to post links yet)

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with Windows 7, but from searching it seems there have been other issues with W7 and the N1 when using adb.

What I just don't get is that it's only affecting a few people. What could be so different about my N1 that's causing this and not causing it for almost everyone else? It makes no sense to me.
