[XPERIA X10 General] digitall1982:
@rocketpaul, can you upload some pics from both phones, like taking pic of same objects with both phones in diferent light conditions.. ?

but if you going to do that please upload on rapidshare or some other file share servis, do not upload on imageshack or similar.. i want to see other things on pic, like exposure time. i noticed that exposure time on x10 in low light conditions (as in not so low light conditions) is 1/8 sec... that is bad. that means if you move hand just a bit you'll get totaly blury pic, same thing if objects on pic is moving..

you can get better exposure time by setting on sports option, but than picture is just too dark.

and please tell me how fast is autofocusing on sgs (in low light especially), just reading on review sites that is fast as hell. on x10 is not bad, super fast outdoor, bit slower indor.. is it faster on sgs?

tnx
[XPERIA X10 General] pco.vaz:
With the original home screen it's quite fast. I only notice some small lag in mediascape and timescape, or when I got 10+ apps running in background.

Compared to my previous Windows Mobile (:mad:) HTC it flyes!
[XPERIA X10 General] rocketpaul:
Im downloading some flac file now and i will give them a go. Samsung have changed the appearance a lot, the home screen doesn't even look like android to be honest(no pull up menu) there are some nice tweaks like the options for wifi,gps etc in the notification section.

Yes it plays flac.
[XPERIA X10 General] rocketpaul:
Right now i have given my x10 to a friend to use, so I will probably get it back late at night today. Ive have done some sgs ones if your desperate to see them. if not, i can upload both once i have the x10. In the day, the sgs doesnt blur much unless you shake violently, in low light its just as vulnerable to blur as the x10.
[XPERIA X10 General] digitall1982:
no prob man, just take your time.. i don't wanna to see just sgs pics, i want to compare them with x10, you know, pics of same object and same light condition..

when you able to take some of them (in different light conditions), than upload somewhere

thx and sorry for bothering.. i'm so courious about that difference in taking still pics, coz as i can see, video is better and smoother on sgs, as sound in video (still we will see when 2.1 on x10 came)
[XPERIA X10 General] rocketpaul:
Ive taken a couple of pictures (they are not amazing) I am uploading them now, What I have noticed is the x10 handles colour better.

EDIT: http://rapidshare.com/files/416921521/Desktop.rar
[XPERIA X10 General] digitall1982:
tnx man, i really appreciate that.. can you tell me did you turn on night mode or settings is on auto? as i can se on x10 is on night mode..

if you got some more will you can upload some daylight photos also..

you are from uk, am i right? :)
[XPERIA X10 General] rocketpaul:
Yes i put it in night mode, I can try but It will probably have to be later next week, as I'm short on time. Yes im from uk :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Surfinette:
Hi

I'm wondering whether there would be a hack so that Apps icons are showing without any label underneath (as it is the case for widgets). I'm looking for this feature for Froyo+Sense rom on my Desire?

Thx

Surfinette
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
this is one of the settings in ADW launcher. I think launcher pro allows that as well.

If you have one of the CM ROMs, you should already be able to do this (i don;t use CM roms, so i can;t tell you how to).

If not, you can download ADW launcher from the market and that will allow you to do it, along with all the theming as well.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Surfinette:
Thx

I'll give it a try
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] suffeks:
This is my first and probably last attempt, replaced the main icons on the right in the status bar with some other ones.

Out of curiosity let me know what you guys think :)

Backup (pull) your old framework, then:

adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk

Reboot.

In fact, I still have the problem on connecting the bluetooth headset, even I am using the lastest build which is shubCraft 1.5. However, I have found an another temporary solution out before the better driver for bluetooth come out. At this moment, Please unpair the bluetooth headset, then turn the bluetooth off before swiching the phone off. And repair the bluetooth headset every time when the phone boot. If you do that, I think the bluetooth headset would be operated properly. Hopefully, the way can be useful for anyone who has problem with the bluetooth headset.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] f_padia:
I was just reading about webOS and how good its interface is when dealing with multi-tasking and I realised how poor androids multi-tasking interface is. The only way I know to switch between running apps is to hold home button for a few seconds...

I personally think this can be improved by having thumbnails of open apps popup when the home button is single pressed on a home screen. Just as at the moment previews of all the home screens popup I think this should be switched with open app previews. I rarely ever use the home screen preview thing so i think its wasted, but I definitely would use app selector if little thumbnails showed.

Anybody have any thoughts on this? Im not a developer so I have no idea if this is possible but I think it would be a good feature to add and improve android. Do any devs think they can implement this??
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Moved to general as not ROM development.

This would be a feature for a launcher app, so might be worth suggesting to someone like Fede who develops Launcher Pro, or cyanogenmod people that make ADW?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] f_padia:
yes you are right. thanks. I was too lazy to find the relevant section to post under. will try contacting anderweb. or fede.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] skydg:
There are a couple of apps which overlays a screen on top of the current app you are in by tapping home twice, you can then open apps/access widgets without having to go back to homescreen first.

Currently im using 'smart taskbar', you can set the activation mode to be (1) tapping on a half-circle spot on either side of your screen or (2) swiping from one side to another. You can then open from a list of 5 'pinned' apps or choose from the mini apps drawer below, or click a tab called 'running' which seems the same as the current holding on home button behavior.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] smiskkissen:
check out power strip. allows you to get a popup window where ever you are by doubble tapping home button (ore long press search button). there you can have quick access to widgets, shortcuts etc. really cool.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] f_padia:
just downloaded both power strip and the one mentioned above. Will try them both out and report back on whether its what i was suggesting. Thanks for your suggestions.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] grymcent:
I recently kiled my laptop and now need my TP2 to take over the workload...

With the lack of important features in poutlook i am looking at getting flexmail.

As my laptop is still down I can't test some of the most important feature for e which is activesync;

Can I "merge" my email forlder that i download with the folder than will activesync to my laptop (when I get it working again).

and can I change the location of email storage to SD card istead of TP2 memory?

I could not find these answers on their website so I thought I'd ask here after a search failed to divine for me these answers to the above questions.

Thanks for you help

G
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] dgduris:
You can store on the card.

I am sure that you can merge folders, though I have never done it as I use and Exchange server. I am sure, though, that it will not be easy to do.

I haven't used my phone too long, but today, I noticed when I switched to landscape mode, I can faintly make out the image of the taskbar on the left. Anyone else have a problem with screen burn in?
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
One day is really early for screen burn in, but amoled is notorious for it and I've heard super amoled is even worse.

No way you can honestly avoid burn in unless you don't use the phone....

posted from a EPIC4G.
[Epic 4G General] smashpunks:
Had mine since release. I use it about 12 hours a day no screen burn for me.
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
I'd really enjoy seeing the source of your information as well as the studies on the frequencies it happens. Had my Moment for almost a year, used it constantly and never once experienced this nor heard of anyone else on any message board (sdx, android forums, ams) experiencing this. I know it's anecdotal but that's why I'm asking for your source.
[Epic 4G General] a454nova:
Isn't is still and LCD? LCDs burn?
[Epic 4G General] nicknomo:
sorry, gave bad info..
[Epic 4G General] TheMostToys:
The Epic is not LCD, it is Super AMOLED.
[Epic 4G General] shep211:
There can be burn ins in AMOLED displays but it should not happen until at least 2 years or more. The only burn ins i have seen where taskbar burn ins.The taskbar does not change color a lot so it can get burn ins. You can use ADW Launcher(may be launcher pro not sure) to hide taskbar to avoid burn ins. This really shouldn't be a issue since we replace are phones every 2 years. If you are having burn ins issue I would replace the phone asap.
[Epic 4G General] jnadke:
AMOLED doesn't have burn-in.

Technically, the pixels wear out with use, and become dimmer. It should take a long time before this is noticable.

This is different from burn-in because you don't see the image when the screen is off.

You shouldn't notice it that much, if you have pixel wearing already, you may have a defective device.
[Epic 4G General] shep211:
I think you are wrong. I have seen pics of taskbar burn ins on nexus one with AMOLED screen.

http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...us-One-has-Screen-Burn-In-of-Notification-Bar
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
jnadke is correct in the sense that LEDs don't "burn in", though the result of LED droop (dimming) *looks* like burn-in in the sense that a ghost image appears while the display is on - it will be dimmer in the shape of a frequently-displayed image. It's simply a technical point, not negating the fact that LEDs dim over time, and certain subpixels, due to constant use, will experience a characteristic that could easily be described, visually, as burn-in.
[Epic 4G General] shep211:
They may not burn in the same way but they do get burn ins. Cant find any thread or webpage saying they dont have burn ins. Did find tons that say it can.

Screen burn-in: Unlike displays with a common light source, the brightness of each OLED pixel fades depending on the content displayed. The varied lifespan of the organic dyes can cause a discrepancy between red, green, and blue intensity. This leads to image persistence, also known as burn-in.[67]

http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/nexus-one-tech-issues-bug-reports/4995-screen-burn.html
[Epic 4G General] Pops_G:
That is really an argument over semantics. The fact is AMOLED screens will develop issues if you have a static image on them over a long period of time. As stated before it is most likely to be on the task bar. Also stated before, using AWD Launcher will allow you to hide the task bar, and delay the issue.

If you call it "Burn-in", "Burn-out" or anything else, it does exist. I wouldn't call it a major problem, but its pretty well documented. Go to the NexusOne forums on XDA and search for "Burn in" you will find plenty of people experiencing it.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
Exactly - nobody's disputing the fact that it happens, just simply a different reason. :)
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Have you ever seen anything about a Samsung (creator of the AMOLED) phone having this problem?

The phone that everyone is saying has "the thing know as burn-in" is the Nexus One, phone made by HTC. Some say it's because they don't use the right...(don't remember the word) lighting mechanism for the screen which causes it.
[Epic 4G General] tokyomonster:
The Nexus One and Droid Incredible both use Samsung AMOLED panels for the display...or at least they did.

Supply shortages caused HTC to use LCD's for newly manufactured phones.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
All screen types can have some form of the loose term "Burn in" some are just better than others...at least its not a plasma screen :)

So the best way to avoid goofy looking taskbar burn in: Use ADW and use the "Hide Taskbar" option. Argument over kthxbai

[Epic 4G General] enter260:
i'm an android noob and didn't know about adw launcher until yesterday. i tried it but i like having a taskbar on top. plus, it's already too late for me as the "burn in" already happened? i think i should wait and play around with the phone for 20 something more days to see if this issue gets better/worse before returning/exchanging it.
[Epic 4G General] smashpunks:
I had a n1, yes amoled can get a screen burn in. My n1 had one, barely though and didn't bother me cause you really had to look. Didn't even notice till a thread like this.
[Epic 4G General] mirrinigma:
isn't this called screen image persistence and not burn-in? "Burn-in" is permanent... Image persistence can be removed by showing an inverted-color version of the persisted image on-screen. It can also be avoided by not leaving the screen on on a single image for extreme extended periods of time.
[Epic 4G General] smashpunks:
I believe the black notification bar helps if I remember correctly . The n1 has a white one and I believe I saw threads on dark notification bars being less likely to have burn in. I may be wrong buy that's what I remember .
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
Definitely the case, as those OLED subpixels would experience most of their duty cycles in the "off" state, preventing early onset of droop.
[Epic 4G General] lordsandwich:
Now that it's been a few weeks, has anyone else had burn-in issues?

My Epic got it pretty bad, notification bar and clock widget were as severe as the average Nexus One's and my usage and settings were pretty reasonable. But what really made it worse was the stupid battery-charged popup getting burned into the screen after I left it on full brightness settings one night (ironically so I could run JScreenFix to fix the notification bar). There was no ignoring the issue after that.

I'm in the process of an RMA with the reseller now so I'm wondering what others have experienced. I went to a Sprint store to check their display phones, neither of which had the slightest burn-in, so I'm hopeful these are isolated incidents.
[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
I had burn in on my first 2. I'm on my 3rd epic now. It's a problem with amoled screens in general.
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
I've had the same phone since launch day. No issues yet.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
Had the phone since day one as well, absolutely zero "burn-in" to report. Screen looks great, though yellowish - am considering a swap for something a bit less yellow.
[Epic 4G General] enter260:
after i switched my first one out, i have not had the screen burn in issue yet. i guess my first one really was defective.

doesn't the screen automatically go back to sleep after the battery fully charged icon appears? that's what it happens on my phone.

although, i charged my phone one night and when i woke up, the screen was on and i saw the giant battery meter on the screen, similar to when you're charging the phone while it is off. kinda freaked me out, but have not noticed a bun in from that either.
[Epic 4G General] lordsandwich:
I think I might've set it to leave the screen on for JScreenFix, which would've made the problem much worse. Still, a screen should be able to handle eight hours without ghosting so badly--I've done worse while falling asleep to DVD menus on my plasma TV and it never had any permanent damage.

Glad to know you're not having issues with your replacement!
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
What is the response time on these AMOLEDs? This "ghost" is visible for about 3-4 seconds before totally fading away.

Grabbed my DSLR and captured it. Anything I should worry about long term or is this response time normal for amoled's? I'm probably looking too hard after reading this thread and panicking. :)

Figured I'd ask the pro's

Photo 1 taken with the screen vertical, then photo #2 taken of the same spot right after flipping it so the screen changes horizontal.

Pic #2 the the number 8 and Sept 20 clearly visible still.

Thumb nails. Click FULL LARGE FILE SIZE picture.

My clock is visible on white screens from using the desk home app. :(
[Epic 4G General] lordsandwich:
I don't think you should be too concerned if the image fades away, though I never noticed a slow response time myself.
[Epic 4G General] SamsungVibrant:
Download "Screen Test" and examine your screen closely for burn in.

I have to disagree, I have had my Vibrant two months, and up where the AM/PM up in the notification bar is burning into my screen.

If you download "Screen Test" app from market, you can go through the various colors. White..blue..red..green...etc....examine your screen closely, you may notice burn in.

May not notice if you just bought your phone last week, but I've had mine 2 months, and MOST DEFINITELY the AM/PM is burnt in already.
[Epic 4G General] Demianwulf:
What wallpaper or theme are you using it looks great?
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
I just noticed what *seemed* to be burn-in from the tapered top menu on the screen while running "Screen Test". (No sign of burn-in from anything, anywhere, actually.) However, it turns out that the tapered top is actually an effect of the operating system (or of the display system), because if you tilt GMaps, and have a gray area where the menu bar would typically reside, none of that "discoloration" or gradient exists. I confirmed this with the "Color palette" application which displays the same "tapering" *below* the menu bar. This confirms it's not burn-in, but rather a software thing. I see absolutely no evidence of burn-in anywhere else, but I am pretty careful not to leave the screen on unnecessarily.
[Epic 4G General] Onemoa:
So your saying its not the screen and its the OS ? I have a Vibrant and I have not looked that hard for burn in and I really dont want to now that everyone is saying it happens. I do have the protection plan on my phone so if I did need to get a new phone I could but right now I love my vibrant to much. I guess I will try downloading the app and taking a look at it I have had mine for about a month and a half but it has been under very heavy use and a lot of web browsing. I will post back with an update if I find anything. I have really bad eyes as it is so if I see somthing then I know for sure it is burn in.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
I'm mostly referring to a small "gradient" that is visible ONLY on the top of the screen when running Screen Test. It is about 2-4 pixels wide, and is represented by a darker area of pixels that "fades in" to the rest of the otherwise-solid color block.

At first, I figured that these pixels were worn more due to the gradient of the notification bar going from dark bottom to light top - and that'd make sense. However, the "3G" symbol, and the date/time areas are not at all visible - and these are considerably lighter (meaning that the pixels are on full).

Then I reconfirmed this with Color Palette, which shows a color block starting below the notification bar - i.e., it doesn't run in full screen. I saw the *exact same* tapering in to the color block there, except that it's now in a different location. This to me means OS/image display/something else, not burn-in, as the burn-in could not exhibit such behavior.

Now, again, I am very careful with my screen - I don't use it heavily, I use the ambient light sensor, and I rotate as much as possible to move things around. I also keep the screen off during navigation, and rarely run applications that keep the screen on for long periods of time. This may help reduce the effect of the LED droop that causes "burn-in." Hopefully, through varied use, my screen will stay homogeneous, as it seems to be so far (I've had it since launch-day.)

Is there any app out there that will allow speech to text from within any application, or whenever you pull up the keybord or something? Preferably multi-lingual.
[Desire Themes and Apps] wardy666:
HTC_IME

You can install the modified HTC_IME keyboard that comes with the speech-to text-button on it, you can make a modified version of it at gimpsta. com/themer/index.php. It uses the google speech thingy, so you should be able to speak in more than English I think.

Then to use it, if you go settings > Language & Keyboard, yuo should be able to eck HTC_IME mod. Then long click any text area > Input method and chose HTC_IME mod.
[Desire Themes and Apps] JuniperFIN:
What is REALLY stupid thing by google/android is that they dont offer a text-to-speech / speech-to-text/ voice search to languages that literally pronounce every single letter the way theyre written. It would be the easiest thing in the world to do. This would offer a solution to many languages (such as Finnish thats heavily ignored by google/android in every other aspect too).

Just my 2cents. Ppl at google plz read this.
