[Desire General] Beowulf_pt:
Take my comments with caution as I have the SGS (will return it this week but still keeping it for a few days) but have not owned the Desire.

I think the Samsung is superior in general. The screen is just amazing and the CPU/GPU combo has a lot of potential for the future (no doubt better at games and perhaps some interface tricks). Audio is also outstanding (3.5mm jack with audiophile headphones).

My reason to return it was exclusively the poor GPS performance. And I mean poor to the point of not having GPS. It is just useless. It also has the lag issue but that probably present in the Desire too, to a smaller degree.

I'd say, if you don't need GPS, go for the Samsung as it has several advantages (nicer screen, GPU/CPU, lots of internal memory, great audio, BT3, great 720p video recording).

If you need a reliable navigation device, the Desire is a much better option. Plus it has its own little advantages like having a LED flash (the Samsung takes lousy photos at low light) and notification led.

I don't think TouchWiz 3.0 is that bad. I actually like it when it comes to look and usability (not sure about performance). My experience with Sense is a bit limited tho (only know it by playing with co-workers HTCs and from video reviews). Overall Sense might be better indeed, but that alone would not make me skip the Samsung.

When I return my Samsung I still have to decide if I'll get the Desire right away or just wait a bit more for the Desire HD (hope it can record video better than the current Desire).

Sad thing is that the right gadget does not exist. For me it would be a combination between the Samsung and the Desire, mixing features of both. :)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TT1986:
With Froyo enabling Apps2SD feature, I've been moving my apps to my SD card slowly, those who support it anyway. I've noticed that not the entire app moves to the SD card. For example I downloaded Alchemy, which is more than 2MB in size.

When I moved it to SD card, it showed less than 1 MB had moved to the SD card! Why is that? Is moving entire apps technically impossible?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ramdroid77:
Some parts of the installation are always installed on the device. Services and other core parts of the app are still on the device to assure the app is not crashing if you remove the sd card (and some parts of the app are still running). Besides that when you insert the sd card into another device you can't use the app. Some kind of copy protection I guess. This said I thought it's the same like it was on Windows Mobile.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TT1986:
I see. Doesn't that mean the ROM bottleneck hasn't actually been removed? Still I suppose it's better than before. Too much of an app still resides on the phone as opposed to the SD card in my opinion - more than half in most cases.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] u_kapaley:
root ?

i've read about the method that people used to use before froyo came out that involves rooting the phone.i guess that would not leave any traces on the phone storage ? i guess that the better option still ?

Why dont you just return to phone to the seller? And right, Legend's screen is AMOLED.
[Legend General] dangal:

[Legend General] Ironsigh:
Hey everyone,

I am seriously thinking about getting a Legend but it'd be nice to get some outside input. I was originally thinking about getting a Wildfire, but the low resolution and slightly slower speed made me iffy. Will the higher resolution on the Legend make a big difference for apps? Although I used to have a Diamond (1) and it seemed like the speed wasn't that bad, it just needed more RAM. However, I already have a Zune HD which means I don't need any music/video capabilities from my phone (or the amoled screen). I've also read about wifi connection problems, has it been fixed? I will only be using wifi at home/at university, no 3G.

(If you don't want to read all that: Legend's Higher rez, faster speed, amoled, possible wifi problems? (I won't use 3G) or Zune HD + Wildfire is enough?)
[Legend General] TheDeadCPU:
I'd say go for the Legend! It's a great device! And there isn't a very big price diffrence from the Wildfire to the Legend, and the Legend is a much better phone! You will not regret it!

And for the WiFi problems I haven't heard anything about them lately so they should be fixed!

Conclusion. Go for the Legend!
[Legend General] biomy:
Legend wins ;)
[Legend General] n0a1m:
afaik the lower resolution on the wildfire would make it slightly harder to get apps from the marketplace :O.

But honestly hands down LEGEND, I got mine a few weeks ago, absolutely loving it :-).
[Legend General] raf2k:
Not worth

Imo Legend is not worth almost 400 euro. It looks awesome but the hardware is mid range. If you wait 1-2months you will get better phone for the same price.
[Legend General] rajasyaitan:
Yea but you can't put a price on beauty.

If you want a decent phone, go for the Legend. We're here may be bias on our suggestion because most of us own one. But from experience its an awesome device. There is no wifi or any problem whatsoever. There may be if you flash a custom rom on it.

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] elektrik2:
When a processor is made at the factory, it will always have flaws in it. The chip is tested to see what frequency it is stable at. So that is the speed that is stamped on the chip and the frequency that it is set at to operate for the consumer and not have any problems. When you overclock a processor, you are bypassing the frequency that the chip as been deemed to be stable at. After that, there is no set speed that your processor can handle, because each one is different according to the flaws it might have.

So in short (what I'm trying to say), the processor in your phone just can't handle those without causing problems. That's why when you overclock it, it's kind of a trial-and-error process to see what speed you can get out of it, but be careful, because too high can cause permanent damage.

[Droid X General] Crimson Blades:
I have had my X since the 16th and have had this problem happen twice now. The phone will only vibrate when you get an incoming call. All the other notification sounds still work and if I go into my list of ringtones they will play there when I select one, but not when I get an incoming call. I went to a V store and they call tech support who ended up putting my through to Motorola tech support, when I got to a lvl 2 support person I was told that this is a known issue with the phone and that the only "fix" is a factory reset. I tried to explain to the support person that having to do a factory rest isn't a real fix, but he didn't seem to care, just read from his script. The person told me that once you reset it it wont do it again, but mine has. I now have a new phone on the way, but the downside is it will take a week for me to get it. Just a heads up if it happens to you, try and get it replaced because the "fix" doesn't work.
[Droid X General] mdhaliwal:
This is a bug on the phone I believe. My friend had the same thing happen to his. Did you by any chance turn on smart profile?
[Droid X General] akajetta:
This is currently happening with my X.

Don't have the "Smart profile: Face down" enabled. Doesn't seem to work either way. (Or "Phone vibrate" for that matter)

It worked fine for a while, but seems to have recently just gone to vibrate-only somehow.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niftymu:
Hey everyone, I searched this question and could not find an exact answer. So if anyone of you would be kind and give me some insight on this, I would be forever grateful. Well recently my mytouch slide rooted screen decided to just..not work anymore? At first it would turn black (as if I pressed the top left key/lock) I would leave it alone for a minute, it would come back. Fine, no problem..well it did it again today and this time stayed off the whole day. Funny thing is you can tell the phone is working. Notification lights are working, the (G) button works as I can hear the beep waiting for voice command..etc.

Being that my phone was rooted, and I really had no way to restore the phone to factory default, the best I could do was flash ESPRIMG.zip and pressing vol up to start the updating process. Updating process worked, I can hear the tmobile jingle at boot instead of "Droid" boot sound that I had from the SLIDE MR1.v4 rom I had installed. (I can still see the device in ADB, don't know if thats a good thing.)

I called tmobile, went through the troubleshooting steps and they are sending a replacement out. I was advised it should be here within 7days (as I wasn't going to pay 19.99 for a 3 day service they offer). Will the phone I'm returning be fine? Will they know I had root and not issue me a replacement for free, but make me pay for one? Am I worried about nothing? Lol, any input would help!

edit1: Phone has never gotten wet, never dropped it..NEVER ABUSED period!

Thanks,

Niftymu :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falken98:
Sinced you flashed the stock ESPRIMG, and it seems to have worked (since you got the jingle back), it should be back to fresh unused condition.

You shouldn't have anything to worry about.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niftymu:
Thank you Falken98! Lets just hope this replacement doesn't come with the new recovery thats being found on the latest OTA, it would make rooting..a pain in the butt, and I must have roootttt! If it does tho, oh well, there will be a way. ;)

[HD2 General] frenchmonkey:
Hi there - I am new to HTC HD2 (TMO US) and I am running Cookie's Home Tab 1.8.5 with the Chainfire Turbo 3D and D3DM modifications. Everything runs really well - I love this phone. But recently - after I had to go from stock T-Mo 2.10 to 2.13 and then back to (reverted) 2.10 stock, the lock screen keeps freezing. What I mean is, I lock the screen (requires pin to unlock) - I'm using the HD Mini lock screen - and when I power on the device, the top and bottom bars are visible, but the middle part of the screen is another problem that is running. I can't interact with it - and I can't unlock the phone since I can't bring up the num pad. It's just stuck there - it's not frozen, it's doing stuff, but I can't bring the unlock pad up. Other times, I press the power button (just to get it out of sleep and light up the screen), it's just completely black. I can't unlock or see anything to unlock.

Has anyone seen this on their device? What's the cause? Is it the HD Mini Lock screen? Is it cookie's home tab (I remember 1.7 didn't have this lock issue)? Is it Chainfire locking up? I would say it locks up about once a day now. :(

Please help if you've experienced this and figured out how to get rid of this annoyance. Thank you! -fm

What am I suposed to do?

Hi, everybody, my SGS has the same problem, but only related to the Orkut sync (Orkut is a social network from google, very popular in Brazil). I tried several ways to solve this problem, like wipe the phone and upgrade the rom with Odin (with re-partition e bootloader reinstall, using several roms, froyo and eclair) and nothing worked until I use a new orkut(google) account, and it worked, but now, suddenly (in fact, after I tried to root with z4root, but I instaled a new rom already, with re-partition) stops to sync, and the same message is displayed.

What am I suposed to do? :confused:
