[Desire General] !PANDA:
hello, I had both Galaxy S as well as the Desire :) I returned the Galaxy S after just 3 days of use as the battery life was just appalling! It was laggy, hated the UI (very slow compared to previous versions of TouchWiz) and also hated the "iPhone style" in the menu.. I hate iOS which is why I got Android! Also, the screen is very nice, but I really could not put it into my own pocket! Anyways whats the differance 0.3 inches eh?

Now that I('ve got the Desire, I just love it! Sense UI, fast, snappy, and NO lag! NEVER! Notofications bar, better than any notificatio0ns you get on any other phone, pull it down and sellect what you want! Love it! Camera is, well, equal, I dont use it that much to notice!

Music player, very good however in the Desire you dont get an equalizer! Once again, I love the phone! :D

It may seem that I am being biased, but thats the way I feel :) Just one more thing, when you type, you make mistakes, just like everyone, on the Galaxy S you have to use you fingers to get that little line to move where you want to correct, whereas on the Desired, you can use the Track Pad! Love this feature!

ohh and about the GPS.. well Galaxy S has accuracy of 5-30 meters (didn't get to test myself, thats what I've read), and on mine Dersire, 1-3 Meters! now you know which to pick!

hope this helps! good Luck!
[Desire General] MisterMonitor:
Thanks for your post. Really helpfull.

But samsung galaxy S is getting 2.2froyo with a lot of fixes and also GPS fix. So i think they will fix lag . Also there's a lagfix for samsung.
[Desire General] freakzone:
Hi, why don't you go to a store, check them both, and buy the one which steals your heart :):)

that's what I do if I need to chose between several phones
[Desire General] MisterMonitor:
You now you can try each of them. But you cant try GPs and other stuff. Its better to ask in forum, because people owns that phones and can say much more prons/cons than you find by trying them
[Desire General] xfile087:
I own both phones. In fact I had a Desire and got rid of it for an iPhone but recently upgraded my contract and got a Galaxy S.

It's a great phone with some nice features such as 720p mkv video playback, streaming is nice too and the Super AMOLED screen is MUCH nicer than the SLCD in the Desire now. Movies look gorgeous on this thing.

However I chose to use the Desire again because it's got a few extras which I missed such as flash, LED notifications, the amount of custom roms available currently including Cyanogenmod 6 (currently use) and also the lag on the Galaxy S was driving me nuts in the end! Even with custom roms and lag fixes applied it would still lag sometimes, especially when trying to answer phone calls. The battery in the Galaxy did seem to a last a bit longer than the desire but I'm sure that can be sorted by watching what apps I use / finding the perfect rom.

At the end of the day they are both great phones and I'm sure you would love whichever one you had. My Dad borrowed my phone today and was watching mks in his dinner hour at work and was so impressed!
[Desire General] MisterMonitor:
Its so hard to make a decision. Desire with OPenDesire ROM is super phone. So fast and battery lives longer and much more. I very like Galaxy S, but he have a buggy OS
[Desire General] !PANDA:
I had the problem after returning the Galaxy S, I had 2 choices, SE X10 or the Desire, was not disapointed :)
[Desire General] MisterMonitor:
so the best choice now from androids is HTC Desire ?
[Desire General] jsel:
If you are asking it on Desire forum, what else would you expect? I personally have desire and I'm very satisfied with it. Earlier I had Galaxy Spica which was ok also over the earlier non-android phone.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Given the Desire is nearly 6 months old now, I'd be inclined to wait a month or two if I were you as new models should launch shortly.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] MisterMonitor:
But i heard that samsung have a buggy OS. And have no costum ROMs and etc. There's a lot of good roms for Desire, including the OpenDesire which makes your phone super
[Desire General] Lothaen:
Personally I would prefer the Desire over Galaxy S.

I've had a little look at the Galaxy S and I think the camera app is a bit superior over the HTCs built in stuff - and when it gets the FroYo update it will probably be even more so.

But everything else seems nicer, smoother in the Desire.

Also I don't like the iPhone-esque of the Galaxy S - didn't like the iPhone - felt it was restrictive and thus went to Android in the first place... it was either that or the win Phone 7 - and that seems more orientated towards Xbox...
[Desire General] MisterMonitor:
i were almost buying Galaxy S, but then i heard about super thing called OpenDesire. And heard that samsung OS is buggy, laggy. And no costum ROMs
[Desire General] EddyOS:
HTC Desire HD/Ace is out soon apparently and looks nice, as is the Desire Z (but that might be US only)
[Desire General] foxmeister:
As I understand it, it will be released as the Desire Z in Europe, and the G2 in the US.

However, reports today suggest that the processor is underclocked to 800Mhz, which may mean it is being pitched as a lower end phone than the current Desire. Time will tell, as clock speed isn't everything!

Dave

Ok, so i watched this video:

I followed the instructions, updated HSPL or whatever and now...

Android did not run.

Also, my HTC Sense isn't operating anymore.

It says i should tap to retry starting HTC Sense but it never works...

my phone is pretty much dead like this, as all i can use is the start button.

Does ANYONE have any idea whatsoever how i could fix this?

[APP REQUEST] Resistive (& capacitive?) touchscreen as pressure-sensitive tablet...

I've been looking for some time for an app that'd allow me to use my resistive screen WM6.5 device as a pressure-sensitive drawing tablet on Windows (with Photoshop [Elements?] support), but to know avail. So, are any devs interested in making an app that..?

# Turns resistive touchscreen into a pressure-sensitive drawing tablet

# via USB, bluetooth, or Wi-Fi connection

# implements "palm (& finger) rejection" &

# may work on capacitive displays a la the software in development here by Ten One Design.

I think a lot a artists would really appreciate this, and would've loved to work on it themselves if they were more versed in under–the–hood design.

I have been using my blackberry bold holster for the phone since I got it. It doesn't fit super tight but it works. The reason I have been using that holster over something that samsung has put out so far is it has the quick connect rotatable clip which I love.

You can use Titanium Backup to back up your apps to the SD card, then transfer them over and install them.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] swapniladsure:
is it possible?

is it possible by using titanium backup...

give me steps
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SXUsr:
Install and run it, select Backup/Restore, select the program you want, press Backup, browse SD for it, done.

Or you could use RootExplorer as you've mentioned.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] jbman11:
doesn't bump have an option to send apps?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] katem:
if you download it from market

open root explorer

and on the root of the device

choose (Data) folder it's the 3rd folder

after cache and cdrom

inside Data there is folder called (app)

you will find all installed apps inside it

search what app you looking for

then copy it and paste to sd card

and here you go.

I can't get Titanium Backup to work on Fresh 3.2.0.0 (believe me, I've tried it all) and I have wifi connection problems on CM6 with my school's network. Don't recommend DC because it is essentially dead. What's a solid, regularly updated ROM?

--
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
i would suggest Evio. though it doesnt update constantly either.

while i disagree that DC is dead and think people are to reliant on updates to determine what a good rom is i will leave it at that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
Well when they've pushed out one measly update since Froyo was released, I would say it is fairly dead.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
what would you have them update? besides some minor changes to dconfig/dc updater that could help i cant think of what they need to change to make it better. all functions work. it has all there tweaks. there hasnt been a major ota yet to add features they need to update, and it comes with a stock kernel so they dont need to re update to to put kernel fixes into it.

for me and most others i have seen post it is stable and everything works. i am jsut not sure what people feel needs to be updated with there rom. other roms use there own kernel so i can see them needing to tweak there rom for it or they are ASOP and are building things from the ground up so want to release as much as possible as the progress. for a rom based off of stock with out its own kernel that works and to my knowledge has no major rampant issues i guess i dont get why people feel they must have an update yet.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
Maybe things like performance fixes, optimization, building off the latest HTC build (like Fresh). There are a million things you can do to a ROM. The old DC ROMs got constant updates.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
Do you have bad performance with dc? i do agree they could make an update to the leaked ota ala fresh that would be nice to see but i wouldnt call it dead because they havent updated to using it yet (i believe only FRESH has so far) it is relatively newly leaked.

As for performance and optimization are there specifics optimizations or tweaks you feel it doesnt have that will a make big difference? I follow all the top 6-7 roms and flash each rom as a new version comes out. (i will say havent gotten to flash fresh 3.2 yet) Besides CM which is specifically built for speed i dont feel any of them currently offer a big advantage over Dc and dc HASNT updated.

i guess to each there own. i am sure they could make minor tweaks and changes and release more frequent updates. I am sure many would be much happier. For me personally i like having a steady true daily driver that doesnt change every few days with minor often unnoticeable tweaks.

I didnt object to you not liking DC each person has to find the rom they like i object to people calling it dead because they havent put out an update every week.

my recommendation on EVIO still stand of all the roms i have used (all the top name roms except the newest fresh) i find it is the only one that has made me debate switching to it as a daily driver.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
Hey, I was a huge fan of the 2.1 DC ROM, and it got all kinds of update love.

So what makes EVIO different from Fresh and Ava?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
one of the big differences i like is that dalvik is on the cache partition. I like most of the tweaks he has made to the system I am not sure what all of the are but the roms seems very very smooth and i get comparable battery life to DC on battery saving profile (no other rom i have tried has given me this). With most roms i have at least 1 or 2 issues with something (though many are minor). I remove sense and htc apps/widgets usually and after doing so it seems to preform better then ava did for me.

I also believe he modifies the King kernel to tweak set cpu settings and a few other things to try to optimize it for this rom. I know he has in the past (not 100% if he changed #8 with the new 1.2 release).

overall i think it is very similar quality to Fresh. the difference for me is that my battery life is ok with fresh but good with Evio (same set up).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philosuffer:
What's up TheBiles, I remember your thread early on about battery life improvements with autostarts and setcpu.

I'm having good results with the BakedSnack series. Currently on 1.5 using Kings BFS #6 Kernel. I would be on 1.6 right now if I wasn't doing a battery calibration for a new battery I got.

I think it's one of the most active ROM's out there, 6.5 updates since Froyo has been released and each update has been an improvement with thoughtful changes. You only need to look at the changelog, from 1.0 and on, in the thread to see what separates it from other ROM's.

Unlike some other ROM's, he isn't just updating system APK's and increasing the version number - he's really putting in the effort to balance out stability, performance, and battery life.

[G1 General] skylinegts:
Ok. So I have a Rogers Dream. I rooted it and flashed to cyan froyo. All was well. Long story short I need to send the phone back to rogers. I tried the first unrooting procedure I found and am stuck now. I tried the Dream/G1 unrooting method. I am now stuck with a T-Mobile G1 bootloader and cannot load any images from here.

I have spent the last 2 days seraching every rogers unrooting thread I could find with no success.

I am looking to get back to the rogers 911 update so I can send the phone back.

I hate to post when i'm sure it has been covered. But any help would be awesome. Any info you need I can provide asap
[G1 General] oldnoob:
Sounds like you tried to install a T-Mobile ROM in a Rogers phone. You would have to use a gold card to make that work, but you would be left with a tmo branded phone. Try searching Rogers' site for their latest full ruu, probably the one with the 911 patch.
[G1 General] skylinegts:
I have that. But I need to be able to boot up fully to run that. I have the t-mobile bootloader.. and thats it :(
[G1 General] ezterry:
You will need to reflash the T-Mobile rom with a goldcard until it will boot, root it via telnet after signing into Google (via a wifi hack?) then install 1.33.2003 spl, that will let you use fastboot to install 1.33.2005 and thus the rogers rom.

Hope the defect isn't going to interfere with this..
[G1 General] skylinegts:
Ok. Now I just read a procedure on creating a gold card. This requires a running phone? This phone.. does not run. I can get into the bootloader and thats about all.
[G1 General] ezterry:
You can see if you can boot and wipe from recovery. If then android boots you may be able to skip the gold card.

However you are I assume stuck on HBOOT-0.95.0000

If you download the rogers nbh, rename it to DREAIMG.nbh, place it on the root of your SD and try to flash by turning the phone on holding camera, you will likely receive an error (if not it will flash the Rogers rom)

If you get the error you will need to flash rc29 the only DREAIMG.nbh known to work, the problem is its signed for the us T-Mobile region and you have a phone for the rogers Canada region.. the way to skip the region check is you make a goldcard and use that to flash the nbh.

This requires you to know the Cid of an SD card.. and the easiest way to find that is a working android / winmo phone (does not need to be the broken phone, you can make the goldcard on a friends phone and use it in yours). This is because most USB sdcard readers don't provide access to the cid.

With the goldcard you can try to flash rc29 again, hopefully boot android, root it like a T-Mobile phone, reinstall (carefully) dangerspl allowing you to at last safely flash the rogers rom.

Short of time travel and preventing your past self from installing a T-Mobile stock rom on a Rogers phone.. I'm short on alternative ideas.
[G1 General] skylinegts:
I am stuck with HBOOT-1.33.0009

The RC29 DREAIMG.nbh wont flash.
[G1 General] ezterry:
That is not the T-Mobile bootloader.. that is an older rogers one (and other HTC branded dreams)

And here is the rogers unroot instructions

and what does it say next to spl in bootloader?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moharzani:
sorry,it seems that the information that i gave,wasn't so complete to be answered,

it is SPL-1.42.000.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
ok, so any spl that ends .0000 is stock so you dont have hspl installed, and so cannot flash custom roms or radios.

This no doubt happened when you tried to flash a stock rom from sd card, because even if the sd flash fails, it will have reset the spl. (Example, say you have an o2 locked phone, you try to flash a tmobile stock rom, from sd card, the first thing it does is remove hspl, and THEN it does the cid check, , finds that its a tmobile rom and an o2 phone so the flash fails, making you think it just failed, nothing more, but in reality it has already flashed the spl removing hspl)

Get hspl2

run it, choose the hspl version you want (1.42.hspl, 1.66.hspl, 2.08.hspl, it doesnt really matter)

pick any rom you want to flash and flash it from usb.

Let us know how you get on.

Ok so i've tried with a couple of different CM6 roms and i can't seem to get any of the free Com2us games to download. I've tried using wifi and OTA, neither work. The games i'm trying to get are Home Run Battle 3d Free, and Caligo Chaser Free.

I've cleared the Market's cache and have unmounted/mounted my sd card.

I haven't noticed any problems with other apps so i'm just curious is this a problem with my phone, the Arias in general or the publisher. I'm doubting the later since i can see recent comments on those games.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] superchilpil:
does it try to download and within a few seconds just stop and say unsuccessful?

if it does its probably because you dont have enough space on your sd card, it used to do that to me and it took me forever to figure out

yeah it starts up and almost immediately stops, sometimes after wipeing the cache it'll take a few seconds... I have 439MB free on my card so it should be good.
