about screen

the same situation, bought a phone in mediaworld and back on the box says "schermo sensibile al tocco da 3.7 polici" this means that the sensitive ekranb 3.7. diagonal. this also means that the screen SLCD?

then you can link tyknut where indicated as do root for SLCD screens?

thanks

There is an article regarding this on Engadget.

Unable to post a direct link since I am new here.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Odinbear:
Just to add to the confusion. (UK only)

I rang the freephone number for the UK and spoke to tech support.

They asked for the IMEI number and told me that I had the Amoled screen. :D

However my packaging "Didnt" have the amoled wording on it, and was told that the packaging had been changed before the screens had and some people had the "wrong" boxes.

So if you want to know what you have, just ring them and they will tell you.

Also if you got your phone before the middle of July it "Should be Amoled" again tech support (UK) words, cannot say for elsewhere.

Hope that clears things up. Lol..

Sometimes its so easy to get lost in the detail of making a problem difficult that the simple answers get overlooked.

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] blakestiffler:
Any chance anyone can make a modified htc phone.apk with settings to block numbers?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Doctor Butts:
If no one can find something for you, you can log into verizonwireless and set some controls that will block up to 5 numbers for a few months at a time. If you get the subscription, it'll lock them out forever, but if not, you just redo the number blocks every month or so.

login, go to safeguards, then call blocking.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] blakestiffler:
Thank you for the suggestion but I'm on a business phone which means its more difficult to block a number through verizon. Besides, I want to be able to block someone for a few hours and easily unblock if I fight with parents or girlfriend
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] blakestiffler:
None of the blocking apps on the market work well because they don't respond until the phone.apk responds. Not quick or efficient enough

[Streak 5 Android Development] cue_32:
to all Devs out there... especially ones that are familiar with the Nexus One.

I know that the Android 2.1 on our Streak now is pretty close to a stock Android version, but still it doesn't feel quite the same. Is it just me or does anyone else think that the stock Android version would look and feel awesome on our 5"er?

Since most of the changes within 2.1 is pretty close to a 2.1 version of the Nexus One, I'm assuming we can't be too far from making it a fully 'stocked out' Android version.

I've seen it done on the Samsung Galaxy S, and we know that Touchwiz was the UI built in to that. I wasn't that interested in the Galaxy S before but now that I've seen that vid, I just might pick it up once it's fully ironed out. (as a back up to the Streak of course ;) )

Thoughts?

Hello guys,

Can you recomend to me the best navigation program for i9000?

The coverage of the maps should have mandatory Romania(from where am I) and of course other neighbour countries.

For instance I checked Navigon and on their site is written they cover only 10% of Romania.

I saw that there is iGo my Way for Android but I am not able to downlod it for trying as Navigon for instance.

What is wrong with th ebuilt in Google nav? I don't get it, why people want a different app...

- The maps are always going to be the most up to date available, since they are live.

- The maps along your route are all pre-cached so OTA data use is not an issue either

- The turn by turn directions work great

- You have street view photos at your destination to help you find the exact place, no other app does that

I agree that google nav is pretty winful, but it has far from universal coverage. To my knowledge it is US/UK only, and the UK one is in beta, and although definitely very usable, it still has some problems, hence why those in the EU might need a paid app.

TBH if more satnav programs had trial versions then I'd be happy to pay for an app having discovered that it is genuinely better, but it takes a few days at least to work out if your satnav feels good to you, and after that theres no refund *sigh*.

I put accuracy in front of Interface and extra features. So I am using Sygic Mobile Map10, with the newest dutch map and it's not disappointing..not at all

Is somehow showing strictly the path/rute you choose. Sygic also seems to have support for Transit roads only between the cityes.
