[Galaxy S I9000 General] ghost77:
Maybe it does maybe not ,NEON suppose to allow you play any media, but one thing for sure Nexus one can't play any media worth mentioning , best it will do is crappy h264.mp4 at (baseline level *barf* ).

Captivate(samsung galaxy s) however does 720p h264 (high level) , also MKV container, xvid ect

And yes i have both phones Nexus One and Cappy.

Snapdragons high linpack worth = exacly zero.

High linpack does not translate to anything usefull on the phone,

Games suck on Nexus one compared to Galaxy S (that depend on GPU not CPU), Adreno GPU in snapdragon is underpowered compared to Powervr SGX.

Any other regular application there is no noticeable difference both 1ghz, infact without JIT on 2.1 samsungs CPU was actually faster in linpack by 1,

Changeing file system brings highly noticeable snappiness.

Anyway unless you buy a phone to run linpack and get orgasm from a meaningless number i don't see a reason to care for snapdragon.

[EVO 4G General] omegasun18:
its still going they just make a new page for each match instead of it being 1 page. look around you should see the rest in about 2 weeks evo vs gaalxy s should be going

the funny thing on most of the surveys they get around 800-1200 votes the evo they had around 6000. evo won with almost 90%
[Streak 5 General] hmose:
Why the delay?? Just as was the case with the Motorola Backflip, the little people at AT&T are busy crippling the Streak and adding their UI changes and their bloatware/crapware.

They promised Backflip purchasers an early update from 1.3x, guess how that has turned out. The UI and other changes done by the AT&T gnomes make the update much, much harder.

What is seldom mentioned is that with adding these changes to the Streak will also make it harder and harder to later do FROYO. Maybe impossible! Buttons are already non-standard right out of the box. Add the UI and the crapware.....

We should start a pool, whoever can guess the month and year you can get your Streak OTA to FROYO or GINGERBREAD gets a free HTC android phone with the latest upgrades Factory installed and de-bugged.

Knowing all this already, looks like AT&T has done a deal so that, at least initially, the've axed T-Mobile and there will be no direct competitive Dell sales of unlocked and uncrippled Streaks.
[Streak 5 General] GPHN:
Interesting, and I'll take 03 '12 for the pool ;)

Any source on the "...no direct competitive Dell sales..."?
[Streak 5 General] hmose:
I Hope I am wrong on that but during the short history of Android on AT&T no manufacturer of any device sold by AT&T has at the same time sold it directly unlocked. Nor during that same period, has AT&T ever provided an upgrade to any of its Android phones. History has a way of repeating itself. Again, maybe this is the dawn of a new era. I hope AT&T and Dell are listening.

Apple likewise does not sell the IPhone direct and unlocked. Go figure!

As Apple has repeatedly warned this week, if you own an unlocked Iphone, it is not in warranty. That is now true of AT&T Android phones is it not?
[Streak 5 General] GPHN:
I hope you're wrong too :)

My initial (gut reation) thoughts were towards 2 recent items, 1) the ruling that thou shalt not lock thy devices, and 2) Dell seems to be committed to direct sales of their devices and doing so unlocked.

However, these idealological thoughts aside, you're right, recent history doesn't support my dreams.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dejavecu:
Caveat: I am a noob and tried to search first but got too many conflicting threads which did not entirely apply to my phone as far as I could understand. Please no flaming if I am beating a dead horse. I swear the horse died before I started beating it.

You may have read my recent thread where I had asked about how to fix my g1 which was sold to me and the rom crashed leaving it "soft bricked".

Since it was taking so long and I got a good deal on it, I went ahead and bought the Samsung Galaxy S. While waiting for this phone to ship, I have fixed the G1 through the unlocker website's guide for one click rooting.

I started to begin the sign in process after re-rooting the phone with unlocker's generic mod but then thought better since my phone would sync.

My question is since I have gone through the unlocker website's process to re-root the phone, is there any personal info left on the phone that I should remove and how would I do that?

Would it be better, if by re-rooting the phone it wipes all info, to sell it as is?

Should I jail break it and sell it and therefore get more for it?

Should I keep the the sd card?

The phone is in good condition with only minor damage to the sides from dropping it, a screen protector and worked perfectly when I signed in on the original platform.img and I have two batteries for it; the double size and original and two backs and one protective case which I could not put on the larger backing of the larger battery which I should have looked harder for one to fit it eliminating the aesthetic scuffs on the side.

All advice is appreciated; thanks guys.

P.S. I will resist messing with the Samsung or at least backup more often b/c I lost a lot of buisness info when the G1 crashed. Although, I have already applied the GPS fix...it was on cnet for goodness sakes, how could I resist?

:D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junkdruggler:
Just wipe and reflash any rom... No user data will be left...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
NOT TRUE!!!!!

Wiping ***DOES NOT*** clear data!

In fact, wiping ONLY clears the FIRST 128 KB of the partition selected for wipe!

If you want to do a proper wipe, you should wipe (also called FORMAT) both the userdata and cache partitions from RECOVERY, mount them in their usual spots, and run "dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/zerofile; dd if=/dev/zero of=/cache/zerofile; sync; rm /data/zerofile /cache/zerofile -f". This line in quotes will write a ZERO to EVERY LOCATION within both the cache and userdata partitions, ensuring that the data is there but not visible, is obliterated.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
Re poll question:

Jailbreak that mofo

-- can't break out of a jail that never existed. ANDROID DOES NOT USE CHROOT JAILS.

Keep it rooted, buyers like no assembly required

-- and idiots screw themselves up when they don't know what they're doing....

Vanillarize it/keep it stock; would you buy a toyota home modified into a racecar

-- the meaning of this option is partially indecypherable. I assume you mean "make it stock". Would you really, as a decent human being, lock the buyer out of accessing the device that they legitimately own and have the right to use as they wish?

Jailbreak it and keep it rooted because people like a little coke in their weed

-- again, you can't break out of a jail that does not exist and never has!

You forgot the option to install a stock ROM along with an ENGINEERING BOOTLOADER. If they don't know what they're doing, they won't as likely screw it up. If they DO know what they're doing, they'll be able to use it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dejavecu:
No I don't mean lock them out. I mean installing the STOCK/OEM/INCLUDED IN EVERY BOX platform. I don't understand where you are getting this "lock them out" idea; your first post helpful; your second post a little asidic. Drop the Ph a little. Vanilla has a boring connotation like the stock software which is nothing fancy but nice and safe. Perhaps analogies, metaphors and a touch of misunderstood humor goes over your head. I would add some ad hominem speculation as to why you are speaking so but whatever you are irritated about allow me to quote the Beatles, "Let it be". I would want a little more use out of someone with 2000+ posts as a forum is only as good as its leaders.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrivel:
Your poll is meaningless in the Android world. You talk about both "root" and "jailbreak" as if they are two different things. One doesn't mean anything. lbcoder was trying to help you understand the thing you're trying to sell.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dejavecu:
Uggh, notice how I did not reply to his advice except for reverting it to stock and "locking" out the consumer; I found that "indecypherable" but that was much more an issue with tone than the advice itself. Maybe American technology slang is different or I am using it improperly. I don't know which so, to all, if jailbreak is meaningless to you then forget it and please just keep the thread to advice on what you would do. Thanks.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
Look, very simple:

IF you install the stock garbage that comes with the phone, then you ARE LOCKING THE PURCHASER OUT because it will then need to be HACKED to gain proper access.

Also: If YOU do not understand the meaning of certain terms, DO NOT USE THEM!

JAIL has NOTHING to do with ROOT.

JAIL is NOT USED on Android AT ALL.

http://www.myblueant.com/q2/technology.php

Since the Q1 is now "updated", I wonder how this would compare to the t1 bluetooth headset that they sell?
[EVO 4G Accessories] redrazr7791:
Guess I made a good choice ordering the t1 today. No one seems to be saying, "Wait! The t1 sucks" :p
[EVO 4G Accessories] kratos313:
the T1 is a great headset i love it but the only problem i have with it is the ear hook the rubber ear holder is not always spot on in the ear. I may look around and see what the price is on this one or see what the latest update does for the Q1.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
love the T1; great prices, great sound, and I dumped my Jawbone Icon for it..

hope that with Froyo, you will be able to use all the voice commands on the EVO..
[EVO 4G Accessories] redrazr7791:
Thanks guys for the input.

Kratos - I remember the thread you started about ordering the t1 from the cellguru. Went ahead, bit the bullet and ordered from them.

On that note, was the product authentic? I mean...was it new condition like you would buy from say...bestbuy or radioshack?
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
got mine from cell guru; brand new, retail pack..

only down side is NO RETURNS ON BT HEADSETS through them..
[EVO 4G Accessories] redrazr7791:
Well I read the 300+ reviews and they showed that the products shipped out were authentic and good quality. Only a few people had problems, but cellguru made things right.

Freaking excited because I ordered it with FedEx 2 day shipping. Gotta give my Plantronics Explorer a proper burial :(
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
could have saved the money, cause they ship out really fast..I think they are in the Boston area..
[EVO 4G Accessories] kratos313:
yes it was in brand new condition (i had alot of problems opening it in the video lol)

It works great with the Froyo Roms that are out now from AvaFroyo to CM6 i've tried both and all i can say is WOW i love Froyo lol but sadly the battery drain on both is to high right now on both Roms so i'm back to DC3.2.3 for now waiting on Bt fix on damage new Rom Gotta have my BT can't drive now without it ITS THE LAW...

you will love it the Headset calls off the name of the people that call you and the FREE APP in the market reads off your text messages and if you Get Vlingo you have more functions that will make you Drool Lol....
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
Well, Froyo is coming to the EVO in the next day or 2, so, I am kinda glad I held off on rooting..cant wait to actually use the headset the way it was meant to be used!!
[EVO 4G Accessories] redrazr7791:
I'm in Texas buddy ;) it would take a while to get here. Plus I'm in school so I really needed it ASAP.

As far as FroYo goes, I'm really excited to get the Bluetooth functionality like the push-to-call feature that is missing from 2.1 OS. Hate the fact that I have to connect the Bluetooth and physically touch the screen to dial the person.

[Desire General] mercianary:
not much a problem for me either, i only notice it when typing text in landscape, but if it is this much of a problem now, how bad will it be in a year.

If it gets as bad as my old tv was with the pause button from sky+ contantly burned in the corner im gonna be p*ssed.

has anyone had this problem with any previous phones, how bad did it get?

edit: will post a picture later (if i can get it to sgow on my camera)
[Desire General] MightySashiman:
what do you mean by "burned" ?!:confused:
[Desire General] GANJDROID:
So is it your black(?) Status bar shows slightly when you boot up the phone w/ the white HTC screen?
[Desire General] atomfix:
With me it was the white status bar, the black one decent seem to do it, it might be why HTC made it black because the white one gives the burn in effect
[Desire General] GANJDROID:
Ahh, so when is it you see the burn effect? Is it the things on the status bar you see? And white does use more power with amoled screens, so thats most likely the cause.
[Desire General] GaelForce:
Hadn't noticed, but I can see it now also (when in landscape typing).
[Desire General] atomfix:
The only ever time I see it is at the white HTC boot screen, so its not a big problem for me :)
[Desire General] mercianary:
I thought it was the black status bar that did it. But it can't be. Our screens don't do anything when displaying black. Must be white that did it.
[Desire General] Balos:
value of such a phone droooped to zero. lol

HTC desire sux i hate my desire since week one and each time i wish id waited for the new iphone.
[Desire General] mercianary:
are you being sarcastic? i cant tell...

If you thought the phone was so bad when you bought why didn't you just take it back?
[Desire General] Balos:
no im not and we live in a country where you cant do that, bring it back. Once you take it out of the shop there is no go back.

I hate it so much that i hope it will break when I root it. I also hate android and google. We cant buy market apps here either.

That way I will have at last a reason to tell to my lady why i got an iphone. lol
[Desire General] RaptorRVL:
lol, I'm afraid to ask, but what is it that makes you hate it so much? Did the Desire hurt your feelings? :D

Anyway, one of the negatives of Amoled is that there can be some burn in effects.

As wikipedia states:

So! Anti-burn-in tip:

Don't go full brightness, and don't leave the screen on for too long. And make sure everything on the screen changes every now and then (not really possible with status bar obviously).
[Desire General] chris7494:
Strange! Never heard of anyone go fro. Android to iPhone, plenty leaving the iPhone to join android!
[Desire General] mercianary:
You could sell it lose it on ebay at the pub and have to buy a new phone.

edit. thanks for the info RaptorRVL, seems it is the white status bar. back to blackstatusbar for me then. you know what they say, once you go black you never go back.
[Desire General] Balos:
i got another good tip for you. Dont turn the screen on at all, actually dont use the phone at all. that way your pixel will remain young till your childrens children grow a beard.
[Desire General] Balos:
Yes I could also kill my bank manager and blame it on the next best guy.
[Desire General] mercianary:
sell it to your bank manager.
[Desire General] RaptorRVL:
Lol, I guess you went all crazy as well back in the days with.. you know, CRT monitors and CRT TV's and Plasma TV's? LCD display can have some 'burn in' effects as well, although that fades away after some time.

Anyway, with some really minor changes in useage you can avoid burn-in effects really well. Just have to be aware that it exists. So don't keep the screen on and at full brightness when charging or putting it in the desk cradle for hours. Just to give a random example :p
[Desire General] Jabbafat23:
Wow, research much before you bought it? If you hate it so much, sell it. I'm sure someone around here will buy it. Where do you live anyway so I can avoid buying things when I'm there.
[Desire General] GANJDROID:
Why are you here then? Go hang out at the genius bar if you want one. W/ CM6, I can hold my phone upside down and I can still do anything I usually would, you'll struggle to hold it normally to text.

Think about it.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Tpimp420:
Visual studio is nice... but QtCreator is better.

Hey I assume you are using express studio because you need a free option. I suggest using QtCreator2.0. You can develop on windows or linux with it. And then compile to windows mobile without visual studio. At first it will seem like you have to use Qt, but you don't. You can program with just c++ and the wm6SDK.

hi guys

i have a slight issue with the hd2..for the first time i have been left frustated with the device due to the occasional freezes but i can live with that..Can i just add the battery life is also doing my head

my main problem, within the last week or so i have noticed that i am receiving text messages late ranging from 1 to 30 mins (obviously it shows the time sent on the sms) this is mainly when the phone is locked and when i press any button it will vibrate and notify me of the msg regardless if the phone is on vibrate or on normal sometimes if the phone is locked and i go to unlock it there be 3 or 4 text messages showing this is really annoying as you can imagine receiving a sms 30mins after it was sent

i believe it may be a handset fault as i am receiving the text but as soon i press any button it wakes the phone up and my sms appear what you think?

im running stock 1.72 uk tmobile , searched this forum there are a few threads whereby other users have experienced this but i could not find a solution? shall i call tmobile? have you experienced this? any ideas let me know ..thanks
