I think nexus one is pretty straightforward and clean from massive junk.

The only thing I want from Vibrant is: internal storage.

No camera light is a big minus, but you can expect same thing on all GSM variants.

I never really thought I would use an LED flash coming from the iPhone 3gs but I have to say its just one of those things that once you've had one it sets a standard that you can't go backwards and give it up. I love the ability to have a flashlight and to take pictures in places that are too dark for night mode.

How much do you think T-mobile saved by telling Samsung to not include an LED flash? $2 - 4 per phone? Probably alot considering the amount they might sell but still leaving off an LED flash when BOTH Sprint & Verizon versions have one just screams penny pinching to me.
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
I don't think it was a t-mobile decision, none of the four Galaxy S phones have a flash on them (epic/vibrant/captivate/fascinate).
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
You a great man JCopernicus :)

I think the Epic and Fascinate both have LED flash's. Lemme check to make sure...

Edit: Yeah Sprint told Samsung to have an LED flash on the Epic - http://androidandme.com/2010/07/carriers/sprint/samsung-epic-4g-spec-sheet-finally-surfaces/

And Verizon told Samsung to include one as well on the Fascinate - http://phandroid.com/samsung-fascinate/#specs

So it was T-mobile that decided not to include the LED flash just to save a few bucks and pinch pennies :(
[Nexus One General] ScottC:
I agree with everything you posted - I've got my own N1, and scored a Vibrant just for fun.

It just feels cheap and gimmicky, which is weird, because on paper, it really is a good looking phone.

I hate TouchWiz - too many tweaks that don't really make it any more efficient. The amount of bloatware is insane too. Things it should have: TV out, LED flash.
[Nexus One General] tanman1975:
it does have tv out
[Nexus One General] dansto82:
Doesnt the Vibrant have 16gb internal storage?

As far as the lack of flash im not for sure if i will miss it. My n1 seems to make everything off color using the flash..........also if i want to take pics Ill use my DSLR.

I havent picked the vibrant up yet. I'm going today to get it and use the 14 buyers remorese time to see if i like it.

I also got a guy wanting to trade a new 32gig Iphone 4 for my N1

I always have said nexus build quality is above all other phones, especially the galaxy s t-mobile version. Build quality and materials is a big factor for me, if you're paying 500 dollars, you want it to feel like it.
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
I always respect your comments Roger, you speak the truth! :)
[Nexus One General] tanman1975:
Embiggen.. It's just. fun to say! So played a bit more with the touchwiz, and must say despite its drawbacks, it's growing on me. It has call rejection with text message which I would love. Can we install that? I still can't believe how much nicer the sound is. Bummer is you can only add custom ring tone to contacts in the phone, not, say, a gmail Contact. However the is very good about linking duplicate contacts together automatically. Very nice feature,

I know this is more a developer forum, so can someone please direct me to the right place to post the following (and then lock this thread - or PM me & delete the thread):

As I get more comphy with Android, I'm looking for specific Android apps to match my most common ones I use daily on WinMo. I'm working on searches, but trying to avoid downloading many of the same types of programs to find the best fit.

With that said, I'm looking for apps on Android that match the following WinMo programs:

- Conduits Pocket Player (specifically being able to load a folder of podcasts directly w/o a library, and auto keep bookmarks where I left off. Pocket Player also has a ton of options - basically looking for a loaded Droid player. Oh, also select my location for music library & don't look in any other folder)

- Resco Photo Viewer (ditto on specifying what folder to look into, and the smoothness of having thumbnails of pix)

- Phatnotes for Outlook (haven't yet found out how to synch Notes off Outlook server)

- Yomomedia (currently using as my rss/web updated, but I don't believe that they support Android. I have no problems switching to another service that works for WinMo & Android)

- Phoneweaver (auto audio profile switching - saw a couple freebies on Droid, but have not tested. preferably one that shows current state (day/night/vibrate) on the bar at the top.

- Pocketshield (more powerful lock screen replacement where I can control what is showing and different ways to unlock)

- TCPMP (play divx movies, flash movies from youtube, etc)

Once again, apologies since I believe this to br the wrong place to post - just not sure where to post this. BTW, also in the wrong place since I have seen another thread locked for it - but would be interested in discussing *why* so many people think Droid is better then WinMo. I'm experimenting now, but more along the lines 'cause it's fun to play with something different!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] paulrgod:
Hi mate,

It might be worthwhile sticking a post in one of the Popular Android phones forums (Desire maybe?) - i'm sure the people there would be more familiar with whats available on the marketplace and better be able to help you with your needs.

[Desire General] tifosi256:
I'm buying a larger SD card in readiness for Froyo (and I need more room for music!).

I've already filled up the 4GB card that came with the phone. Is it simply a case of copying everything from the 4GB card onto a computer, inserting the new card and copying it all back? Or is there some funky protection scheme in some app data which will break everything?

Also, will Eclair be able to format the new card (it's 32GB)? I think Windows 7 only formats fat32 on smaller drives.

Any information or other peoples experiences would be welcome.
[Desire General] AzureusPT:
If you just have one 4Gb partition it is safe to copy all the files to the new one and it should work without problems (copy also the hidden files).

For the format, Windows 7 can format it. Not sure if fat32 or exFat, but it can format it for sure.
[Desire General] Oby One:
Remember to buy a class 6 sdcard.

it will be much faster.
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
Just wanted to jump in here to clarify this statement. Higher classes means faster write speeds. There are no difference in read speeds.

Therefore...

- Having a higher class card will not result in better performance in tasks like generating thumbnails when viewing photos in your Photo application.

- If your application is installed on your card, higher classes will not mean faster application performance. Again, read speeds are not affected.

- Having a higher class card will mean you will be able to transfer files from your PC to your card faster.

That being said, you should buy the highest class card you can afford. But you should prioritize capacity over speed.

Tip: Pass on class 2 cards. They may start choking when you use your device to record 720p video.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Zero problems with my Sandisk 16gb Class 2 card. It writes at a sustaining 7.5mb/s, so faster than Class 6 minimums anyway.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] tifosi256:
Thanks for all the advice guys.

Regarding the class, it has to be class 2 - it's the only thing available in 32GB.

However, as ohyeahar said, it's only write speed. I don't think a 720p stream will be a problem given the benchmarks I've seen for the Sandisk 32GB card. It seems to be writing at 5-7Mb/s so well above the Class 2 minimum.
[Desire General] Laban:
I'm also buying a new microSDHC card. Should I format it in NTFS or FAT32?
[Desire General] lennshow66:
Correct me if I'm wrong but when I format it on my computer, my desire always tells me to do it again anyway :P on my phone that is
[Desire General] Laban:
Ah, of course! That must be the correct way of doing it. Thinking of buying the Sandisk Mobile Ultra 16GB or the Transcend Class 6 16GB or A-Data Class 6 16GB.

Any recommendations?
[Desire General] BigPHD:
Where is everybody looking to get their memory cards from? I'm currently looking for the best deals and struggling to find any decent ones tbh
[Desire General] Oby One:
I think you are not well informed. Higher class cards also offer higher read speeds and that is very important.

In my phone applications are also writing to card so having a higher class card makes all the difference. especially if you are using it with a swap partition.

I don't have the link to the benchmark right now but I will show you tomorrow the different read/write speeds in different class cards

Yes it will

yes it will

later edit:

I don't remember exactly the values for read speads but from my tests they were something like this

cls2 15mb/sec

cls4 18mb/sec

cls6 21mb/sec

for me ...speed is everything so class 6 it's my choice
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Sorry, but that just isn't the case!

The class of an SD card is purely the minimum sustained write speed that the card will achieve in a completely unfragmented state. It has *nothing* to do with read speeds.

Case to point, here are the benchmarks for two of my MicroSD cards:

16gb Sandisk Class 2

Sequential Read : 20.050 MB/s

Sequential Write : 7.415 MB/s

8gb Transcend Class 6

Sequential Read : 19.938 MB/s

Sequential Write : 15.020 MB/s

Note that the read speeds are almost identical, but the write speed of the class 6 is almost twice the amount. However, the write speed of both cards is well in excess of the class 6 minimums and given that there's far less writing going on than reading, the difference in write speed is practically negligible on the Desire.

Which card do I used in my Desire? The 16gb Class 2 and I experience absolutely no lag whatsoever using my phone, and I'm using Froyo Apps2SD.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] djoni1980:

[Desire General] Oby One:
Hmm, maybe because it's a newer generation class 2 card?

perhaps my tests were done with older generation cards that gave out lower speeds.

Now I am curios...I can't wait to get back home and find the tests file.
[Desire General] tifosi256:
Yep, Dave is absolutely right, it's purely minimum sustained write speed for that class. And as you can see, his Class 2 card actually exceeds the class 6 spec for writing and isn't far off from Class 8 performance.

Looking around the web, the 32GB class 2 card I bought has similar performance in the benchmarks I've seen to Dave's Class 2 card. Not only that, the benchmarks are done on a PC. I doubt the phone has the I/O bandwidth to actually hit numbers like those in any kind of sustained way.
[Desire General] Oby One:
ok, my bad.

There is a slight difference between different brands (regarding read speed) but not so big.

regarding write speed .... I think that only if you use your sdcard with a swap partition you will see big differences.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blkout01:
This is what I'm currently working with. I don't have the ability to hook up to usb because it's broken and in the process of trying to get stock through the SD card I've lost the ability to go in to recovery. I can still load different PC36IMG.zip files but that seems to be all.

I have to be at the store in an hour. Anyone have any suggestions for a PC36IMG.zip I can load that will look most stock. I really doubt I'm going to get this phone unrooted with in the hour but would love to continue to try.

Any help is appreciated.

***Went to Sprint and they tried to charge me cause the usb port broke inside the phone. $120 since the phone is only couple months old I fought it for 30 mins and they replaced the phone. I almost **** myself when I saw that white phone. 30 minutes later I was out of the store with a new black phone. Some of the stores claim to be out but they have a few phones for select situations.***

[Nexus One General] sybiam:
I went into a retail store of SFR and asked them about the Nexus one. The woman told me that the phones where locked to SFR network.

That girl told me that SFR will only unlock the phones after 6 months. I'm leaving the country in 25 days... She also told me that if I wanted to unlock it before I'll have to make it unlocked somewhere else... so

I've been browsing the net and honestly, It's hard to know where I can get unlocking codes for nexus one. Most websites I found weren't looking very legit...

And most people still believe that nexus one is always unlocked...but since Vodafone got exclusivity in France they decided to lock the device...

So yeah, where/how can I unlock a nexus one? (Receiving unlock codes)
[Nexus One General] jcar87:
Have you actually tried another carrier's SIM on your nexus one? In Spain Vodafone sells the nexus one unlocked and I bet most of the representatives don't even know about it, since they lock pretty much every other phone.

Already read it... Unsure if it's all good. I read in the forums lots of bad comment about htccode and some good comments. Hard to know if this thing is real or good comment are posted by puppet accounts.

I didn't bought one yet since I really need to be sure that I can unlock it before I leave. I can't tell if the girl is wrong about it but I called an other store and on the website, it's written that the phone is limited to SFR network. So unlike other EU countries. SFR apparently locked them.
[Nexus One General] EarthsiegeTA:
I'd suggest getting a different sim from a friend and trying it out. I can't really believe they'd lock the N1 after all the publicity of it being an unlocked phone.
[Nexus One General] mathieulh:
They are not locked, mine is a SFR version, and it's unlocked, no nexus one has ever been sold locked, not even the Korean versions.

SFR staff and the phone house will tell you it's locked because they don't know better and all the usual SFR pack phones are locked but it's not.
[Nexus One General] Doume:
I confirm also, bought mine from SFR to use it with a Sim from Orange.

People at SFR say it is locked, which is wrong.
[Nexus One General] sybiam:
@Doume

Really? when did you buy it?

As far as I know, phone sold before july 24 (or something like that) where unlocked. They were available in many store but now new phones are only available in "Espace SFR". Tomorrow I should get one and will be able to confirm if they are locked or not.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
All nexus ones are unlocked. Even the vodaphone ones.
[Nexus One General] sybiam:
I should receive my nexus one in 2 or 3 days, retail stores we out of stock again so I ordered it online. Will update once I get it.
[Nexus One General] sybiam:
Ok so,

[off topic]I canceled my order from sfr. On all the step before getting that phone from a online order. I didn't go farther than the identity validation in 5 days. [/off topic]

So this morning I got my nexus one from someone who got it as a replacement for a nokia. He sold it as he had a blackberry. Anyway, a brain new nexus one for a fraction of the price they sells it without contract.

I inserted my old fido (rogers) sim card and it appears to work. There is a little "SFR" drawn inside but thats it.

I got some error reading the gsm card but I think it's an other issue.

So yeah, even if everybody in the SFR society thinks that it is locked. It is apparently not. On a side note, just to show how uninformed they are. On the spec of the phone they says that the screens only has 16bit colors. While it has been proven to have 24bit and able to do 32bit opengl. 24 bit RGB and 8 bit alpha.

Anyway, I'm happy. I have it now.

ps: the problem with my order wasn't exactly sfr's fault. The people to blame are the people at fia-net.fr. 1 week to identify who I am to sell me an overpriced phone vs 1 random guy that sells me a brain new phone (unpackaged) for a fraction of the price. It just doesn't make sense. I say that, but I'm still in the process of the cancellation of my order.

[Nexus One General] sybiam:
Just went to look my build version. I remember it was something similar to you. But now after update, it is now FRF91. Not sure if that means we will receive OTA updates from google or from Vodafone. One thing is that we have a different set of "stock" app than the US version.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuddaBelly:
The first couple of nightly builds were awesome for bluetooth but all the resent one have had issues for me. My problem is with wireless headphones namely the Motorola S9's. On the stock rom they worked awesome and rarely cut out. On DC3 they worked great and never cut out but I hated sense UI. So I start using CM6 and man was I surprised that bluetooth headphones worked great once again. Well somewhere along the line something has happened to bluetooth and now unless I am sitting perfectly still my head phones constantly cut in and out. I have since went back to DC3 and they work great again. Obviously I want to go back to CM6 but I use my headphones all the time. My question to the devs is did the power get dropped on CM6 for bluetooth and is there a way to turn it back up. I have asked this question on Cyanogen's site but honestly I don't think people read the forums over there. I would be willing to donate for a cranked up power profile for bluetooth (and yes I am already a donator on Cyanogens site just because I love his work) . Or does anyone have an idea on how to set it higher. I know everyone is trying to save battery but if I wanted to save battery I would have bought another blackberry with a tiny screen.

I did send a PM to Cyanogen but he never replied and to be honest I didn't expect him to. Im sure he gets 100's of PM's per day.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustJake:
I am having a very similar issue. For me it's my BT Headset as well as my car's bluetooth( Motorola add on). It will connect ok but constantly drops off or in some cases simply refuses to dial the outgoing call. Like BuddaBelly I have tried several different Roms, including the latest DC and Fresh which both worked without any hiccups. Thought it might be a Froyo Issue but I have no problems with a Nexus One running 2.2. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
I have the same problem :( i also have bluetooth issues on DC3.5 which is froyo. I dont use a Motorola headset (jawbone) so just wanted to throw this out that it doesnt appear to be just Motorola.

on a side note to Budda, You dont have to use sense ui in DC yuo cn download ADW Launcher (what cyanogem has as defualt) or any other launcher (launcherPro, another good choice) and even completely disable sense from the phone once you do through dconfig.

anyway Just thought i would throw this out there
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuddaBelly:
Yeah I know I can disable sense but it is still built in if you know what I'm saying. I just tested my headphones on my wife's stock evo and they work great. I do know for a fact that one of the first cm6 builds had perfect working Bluetooth so I'm just trying to see if we can have an option to turn up the Bluetooth power:)
