Hey guys, my first thread here.

I live in Canada, so I don't get much of smartphone selections up here.

Here's several phone that I think I will like, and I want you guys to help me decide.

Phones I think I would like, and some basic understanding from me of the pros and cons(I love the HTC Droid Incredible the best, too bad we dont have it up here :[ ):

HTC Desire

Pro:

Sense UI

No Cons

Galaxy S Vibrant [This actually should be a i9000, they call it vibrant up here]

Pro:

Super AMOLED Screen (Although I know that the iPhone 4 screen is brighter)

4" Display

Cons:

Lagging Issues

No Flash on camera

a lot of little software issues

Plasticy(a case or skin can cover that)

UPDATE: Galaxy S Captivate is coming to us this September, Same Pros and Cons except it doesnt have as much software issues?

iPhone 4

Pros:

Better Music Player

Great Support (Obviously a very popular phone)

Definitly a lot of better apps, for now

Cons:

No Adobe Flash

Blocking Signals, although I know from friends that it is not a big issue at all

if you got a good point that another phone might be better, i might change my mind
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
iphone, generally garbage, if you have any self respect dont get it

Sense UI sucks, everyone with a good phone like that flashes cyanogen or something like that

and galaxy S feels plasticky
[General Topics] brilldoctor:
Id get the disire. as you said, no cons
[General Topics] BlackJin10dan:
HTC Supersonic
[General Topics] Sorainzo:
Yeah, I also say grab the HTC Desire.
[Vibrant General] ezcape:
Every time I just to adjust my system sounds it pops up this weird long force close message. Then takes me back to the home screen. Already tried resetting is there maybe an app or widget that can adjust the system volume? System volume as in screen clicks etc. thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sniff15:
i started a new post because i don't this to get lost in the million post in the main primo tread.

there are things from igo8 that i loved such as the second turn arrow that displayed also the distance to the following turn, which is handy in tight situations, i would like to get primo to do this, and was wondering what has to be changed.

there are some text in the igo9.txt inside the data.zip that i see however in they are the same lines in igo8 so i don't believe that's it. i have searched the Internet and the only thing i see is to use a different skin. the first problem is i don't like that skin and the second is the site isn't in English and I'm unable to download the package to look at what was changed.

the second problem is with tts. i don't use loq tts with primo as it would only say half the message and then cut out so i use nuance tts. but nuance doesn't seem to want to follow the commands within the sys.txt; and I'm talking about specifically "always_say_road_names=1". it will not say regional street names just the numbers, while loq tts did.

nuance would always say "rr 15" or something else sounding garbled, so i had to edit the voice zip and add "r===Regional Road" so i can at least understand what it said. but i want it to say the road names.

sorry for the long post.
[General Questions and Answers] Shawuk:
Hi, I texted my GF twice this morning and didn't get a reply, phone ran out of battery. got home, charged it and both messages have the message icon with a clock on it. She said she got the messages and replied but I dont have any messages back.

Normally when a message doesn't send you can hold the message down and you can press retry. this is confusing. I've tried rebooting the phone.

I got a HTC Desire Ver# 2.2 unrooted unbranded
[Epic 4G General] kidstechno:
Anyone else not getting a LED notification for text messages? Seems like I'm getting them for e-mails and whatnot, just not texts. Check options and didn't see anything initially to change it. Would I have to download Chomp or Handcent in order to get it?
[Epic 4G General] Fixter:
And I get notifications but I'm using Handcent.
[Epic 4G General] antidelldude:
I get a flashing led in the upper right whenever I get a new text. Works for e-mail too.
[Epic 4G General] kidstechno:
Actually I just now noticed I get them but it flashes maybe 2-3 times then goes away. I'm so used to my Hero flashing constantly so I wouldn't have to unlock to see what I got.
[Epic 4G General] Fixter:
You can always press the power button and check.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] rajhanchan:
Hello all! This is my first post here! I have a tilt with shifu ROM. I left my tilt for charging over night, morning it didn't turn on. I did reset and it came up with some .cpp error. After couple of resets its stuck on R G D screen, i don't even see the hardspl version. No progress beyond that screen!

By the way its completely unlocked version.

I tried following but no luck, greatly appreciate your help!

1. USB not working

2. mtty no response(not sure which com, tried all but none worked) tried both vista and xp

3. copy nbh to microsd(KAISDIAG and KAISIMG)

4. battery taken out for an hour

I am thinking SPL might have got corrupted, not sure if it can be recovered.

rgd version are

R 1.6.16.25

G 25.83.40.02H

D 3.34 shifu

Thanks and looking forward for your help!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] rajhanchan:
Fixed it myself! After leaving it for a day loaded ROM in to microsd. With camera button and reset button brought the RGB screen like magic!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] MOJO783010:
I need one, as I am always on the go, and because the sgs plays most formats out of the box it would really be useful. Keep in mind I am asking for a client to download directly to my phone, not a torrent manager. Any help would be apreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jUsT2eXy:

I have downloaded gigabytes of stuff on my phone while I am sleeping

[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
waste of battery power IMO

also data rates fees

but is good for emergency to get small things
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jager420:
If your on the go I'm sure you are always charging the phone. If you have a laptop you could just use wireless tether. Theses more security on your laptop(ie. Firewalls, virus protectors) than your Droid.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] XlAfbk:
I tried the 3 torrent clients available and found Swarm to be the fastest. Plus it has the best UI.

They're all quite slow (compared to desktop in the same network) and expensive though.

omg thanks, been looking for a torrent program. I have a grandfathered plan with unlimited data so I am going to make it worth it.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] safeplayer22:
Just found this app and thought it might help some people. I just installed it and will see if it works good or not. I'm not sure if this can be done with Tasker since I don't use it.

NoBars saves your battery when you don't have cell service by enabling airplane mode for you. This turns off the cell radio and prevents it from draining the battery while searching for a signal. NoBars can automatically check for service after a period of time and disable airplane mode.

NoBars is free and ad supported.

I am NOT the dev of this app.

[EVO 4G General] Wallabe:
Check to see if you data roaming is on. That's what it sounds like the problem is.

To help you:

Menu>Settings>Wireless & Networks>Mobile Networks>Data Roaming: unselect if selected

Turn on Data Roaming Guard if not on.

Turn Data Roaming Sound off.

Uncheck Enable always-on mobile data if checked

Select roaming menu

Make Sprint only is highlighted

Make sure Call guard is unchecked

[EVO 4G General] Wallabe:
What??????
[EVO 4G General] shadowwarz:
i am also having this problem in the past couple of days and i cannot figure out what the problem is....i tried these suggestions and they didnt work, i know its the EVO because i did a speed test with a friends HERO and the hero didnt have slow data issues.
[EVO 4G General] bluehaze:
Was having this problem after updating to Fresh 3.2 rom, flashed to stock rooted 2.2 and 3g speeds greatly improved. Not sure what rom you are running but might be worth it to do a nandroid and try flashing to stock rooted to see if your speeds improve.

Cheers
[EVO 4G General] zcarman:
That's exactly what Sprint advertises as their 3G speed... 600k... Which makes that 6Mbps 4G number 10x faster than their 3G network.

In comparison, Sprints 600kbps is outdone by Verizon's 1700kbps in most of the areas where I use mine, but my 2500-3500kbps 4G puts it to shame.
[EVO 4G General] patelkedar91:
I'm getting slow speeds too. I rarely break 1mbps but on my Pre I definitely used to.

I feel like a recent PRL update or my ROM is setting me back.

I'm running CyanogenMod 8/23 nightly I think... So many people getting problems with the 6.0.0 version that I didn't flash it.
[EVO 4G General] bharris25:
I get 1.9 mbs download speed if I have full 3g and my fastest 4g in St. Louis was around 7.5 mbs.
[EVO 4G General] frifox:
I found that even just accessing the ##data# and all those ##*** menus screw up my 3G speeds... To counter that I do a nandroid backup, do all my configs, and then just nandroid restore. This way I keep the changes and 3G connection isn't crippled.
[EVO 4G General] tomit12:
I just had a rather odd thing happen.

I've had abysmal speed for about 3 weeks... On the order of .2 - .3 down, with latency screaming upwards of 1000.

Now this could be completely coincidental, but I'm going to fiddle with it a lot more to see what's going on - About the same time I started getting abysmal speeds, I got my Seidio extended battery (3500). I had thought about it before, but didn't think it could possibly make a difference.

Soooo, I tested my speed, usual garbage. I powered down the phone, pulled the battery, put it back in, tested my speeds...usual garbage. Power down the phone again, put my original HTC battery back in, test my speeds, and now its cranking along at 1mb+, with a 121 latency. Not amazing, but when you're coming from 0.2 with 1000 latency, its like switching from dialup to FIOS. It's been in a while, I've made a few calls, texts, used the wireless hotspot, and its still going.

I'm going to try pulling it and putting back in the Seidio. I'm still not convinced it's the battery (at least in my case), but I guess we'll see.
[EVO 4G General] bassic:
I get around 1300Kbps, which I consider to be very good. My associates with iPhones or AT&T blackberries can barely get half that.
[EVO 4G General] svennn:
Yes, I have the ghost touch problem. Only way to stop them is turn off the screen and start over.

Would love to know why this happens.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Same here almost everywhere. Just scored a free airave though.
[EVO 4G General] tomit12:
Interesting...after having abysmal speeds for weeks, my work location (Newport Coast, CA) suddenly has 4G.

http://www.speedtest.net/result/939956804.png
[EVO 4G General] ShadowDrake:
I get consistently terrible speeds too. I'm jealous of the guys who think .6mbits is bad. That's 3x what I consistently get. I'd gladly take that. My speeds are only this terrible at my apartment where I actually have fantastic (almost perfect) service all of the time. The tower must be over loaded or something. I wish there were a way to let sprint know :( The speeds get better at like 3am.

The two really fast speeds are trying out 4G in Grand Rapids about an hour away. The rest are at my apartment. Sigh.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bullet2300:
So I started up Asphalt HD and it informs me of a 100MB update, no biggie I got wifis and the 4Gs.. so it downloads and then takes me to the start menu, I click play and it says you have 5 minutes of free play, blah blah, then crashes immediately. WTF. I wiped my phone to factory defaults once too and tried after that and the same thing... anyone else have this problem?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herbthehammer:
No, but when I went to the market to buy it, it would get as far as the gameloft screen (even that didn't look right) and it would freeze. Tried uninstall and refund, neither worked. I got the game off eventually but it refused a refund. That was 5 bucks. Went to the demo and tried to but that, they wanted 7 bucks for that. They also want to charge it to your phone number. I didn't like that idea but tried it anyways. Got stuck on the screen saying please wait (for purchasing I guess) and froze there. Tried going to website for help, they don't even list the game. I tried looking for help there. They wanted my phone number or email to find my purchase. It said there was no record for me. After all that, to put that feeling into words.....
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navoid:
The demo included by sprint doesnt work for me, but the game works when I download it from the market. I ended up removing the demo anyway.

I found a download for need for speed shift, which is way better in my opinion. Need an unlocked phone to play it.

Hello,

Today my touchscreen stop working, i think it is because of humidity, because it has some spots on the screen. I hard reset and now i can't pass the screen aligmente, any ideas how i can solve this?

Has anyone had humidity in teh screen and solve the problem? some kind of cleaning?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] wildsetup:
For humidity, I don't know what to do, sorry.

My raphhael's touchscreen stopped working some weeks ago. I don't know why, the scrree is perfect: symply it stops working.

Then I try changing its rom, thinking the problem was the old rom. So I hadd my pda stucked at calibration step!

Then I found a file with calibration data for using remote calibration mode.

...just use search on xda-forum!!!

Using this data your pda will pass calibration step... but consider touchscreen will not resuscitate;-)

Oh my pda! After three weeks (it stayed turned off), I turned it on for moving some files and (surprize) touchscreen start working flawlessy:-)

I really didn't understood what happened...

Hey doping11,

I got the same problem with my touch pro.

After a evening walking outdoors i can home and

saw a little humidity at the side of my screen.

I hoped it gone away as it had come but no it stayed.

A week later, just this fryday i had a little spot appearing in my screen and

not a day later my touchscreen didn't work anymore.

The spot seems to create a pressure pont at that part of the touchscreen

so no other part is responding anymore and to make it worse....

The spot seems to get bigger and bigger and bigger.

It's now a spot of 2,5 cm length and about 1cm width.

I tryed multiple opties, letting it dry above a heater,

putting the phone on the other site, pushing the spot ect.

Nothing seems to word...

Does anybody has an idea how to fix that ??

Review

After flash with your ROM, get about 20Mb Free RAM. Add SPB Mobile Shell, with 2GB MemCard plus other application, its about 13Mb Free RAM.

Can't replace battrey taskbar with percent battrey.

All function work on mine, tomorrow will give another review after finished all seting.

Thanks for your great ROM
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] aa125690:
Dude... I'm quite interested in what you install after hard-resetting... The RAM load in your device seems to be pretty heavy.

When I was a newbie of official and medkid's ROMs, I installed a lot of softwares as well. But now I keep my device from those which are seldom used(just storing them), and use the default applications as often as possible. For instance, I used WkTask very often before using WM6.5 ROMs, but since WM6.5 consume too much RAM space, I decided not to use WkTask any more; instead, I use the default Task Manager now(assigned to the hardware button of Record).

Actually, to release much RAM space, I use WM6.1 themes when I'm using WM6.5. Besides, I disable the default lock screen and Titanium. Those let me get about 20 MB in WM6.5 system. Nevertheless, the Start Menu is an annoying cause of RAM consumption...

But I still advise you to use WM6.5 instead of WM6.1, 'cause user interface & scrolling engine are not the only improvements of WM6.5. The codes of WM6.5 are much optimized. Some new functions, e.g. widgets & Office Mobile 2010, are exclusive for WM6.5.
