[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chichoko:
Indeed i'd like to know how the heck the iOS4 can handle multitasking better than Android..!! O.o
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nosrulz:
I too am curious to your thinking. :P One thing I noticed from my friends iPhone is that when he brings up the multitasking thing at the bottom he can scroll through everything that's running as opposed to the 8 latest apps that the android shows. But I've never actually found it to be an issue personally.

Also in relation to the OT, I have never owned a iPhone (only my currently rooted Desire) but my friend who used to have a 3G and recently chose the iPhone4 over other choices says that while he is happy with how the iPhone runs, he does kind of wish he could customise it like I can with my Desire.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neo158:
WTF, the Desire does have multi touch, you must be confusing it with Xperia X10 which has dual touch instead of multi touch as sony didn't want the possibility of being sued be Apple.

It should be noted though that Apple didn't invent multi touch.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomoooo:
I was using Touch Diamond with custom ROM for two years, Few weeks ago I switched to android (have choosen DESIRE).

I could not made a better choice. Not yet brave enough to ROOT it :-))))).

Really the phone is excelent, speed and UI is great, customization possibilities are as good as I was used with WM.

Flash is also working without any problems, so is multi-touch. Even iPhone 3GS users were impressed :-)))))).

T.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chichoko:
It is a well known fact that the Desire, unfortunatelly, doesnt have proper multi-touch. It has a somewhat refined dual-touch ability, but in games, it has some issues here and there. You can see it downloading a simple app from the market for touch testing. Thats the only thing im somewhat jealous of the other multi-touch phones (galaxy s, iphail).

But the only thing im jealous the most about the iphone is its scratch resistant screen.. that makes me cry every time i realize that our screens are made from glass only.. :/
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CreepingDeath:
Let me preface this with the fact that I am running both of these devices in parallel right now. Also, I have 5 of the desires in production in our corporate network (which I am in charge of troubleshooting)

As of yet, the Android doesn't have a way of naitvely handling the problem of multitasking for the average jo-blo. "dl this app, then every now and then check to see if apps are open, otherwise your battery will drain" Is what I find myself telling users.

This is not that case with the iPhone. Multitasking battery savings is done automatically for the average user.

I know that most people reading this are power users, so closing out of tasks is no big deal, however, this is an enormous task for the average user, and I really feel that Apple has done an awesome job with the whole multitasking idea, and have made it very easy for the average end user to use the phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Hi,

I disagree! I do absolutely nothing to "manage" multi-tasking on my phone and suffer no problems with battery.

In contrast, the vast majority of iPhone apps don't multi-task at all anyway, so I can't see how it can be better.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nosrulz:
The iPhone's method of showing what apps are running is nicer and it is a pain to have to download an app just to see what is running on your phone. But on the Desire you don't actually have to go closing everything. Apps running in the background do not drain battery while sitting idle. Using apps like Advanced Task Killer should really only be used to close problem apps, not to constantly shutdown everything that is running.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chichoko:
As of 2.2 we have a "sort-a" built in task killer so no need for 3rd party stuff... as for your other claim, indeed the apps dont drain battery at all (well..not as much..) so i really dont get it when people say that background apps drain battery and what else.. i dont have any battery drainage whatsoever, and if i dont use wifi at all, my battery can last 2 days easily...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] Kameirus:
ok everyone im thinking about buying a case for my phone and came across 2 that look pretty good and just wanted other opinions on them

first up is a body glove case for 7.99 and free shipping

next is a Desk Mate Leather Case for 9.95 and free shipping

i know body glove is a good one but the desk mate looks like it would offer more protection...

please let me know what yall think

Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] TAEL:
Personally, I prefer Desk Mate model. Another one seems huge and a little ugly. :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] Kameirus:
yea i agree thats what im gonna get

Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] Ventrik101:
Desk mate looks classy, I've been thinking about getting a case myself and at 10 bucks I'm going to get that one for myself.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] hartleyshc:
I dont have the body glove, but a similar chinese knock-off from ebay. A note about those cases.. they do offer a good tight protection without much more thickness and weight to the device, but I find it awkward to use the slider on sense roms with that case. Its always a little difficult to slide to the home or settings tab because typically your thumb slides right off the side of the screen. While the ridge on the side of the case prevents your thumb from doing this.

I like the design of the deskmate as opposed to other leather cases, but Ive never been a fan of leather cases in general, a little too bulky for my taste. (I put my phone in my pocket, not on my belt).
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] mputtr:
I personally would suggest the bodyguardz or invisible skin protection. It doesn't add another inch bulk on the phone and it keeps the look of the phone.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] aneespk13:
very nice collection,

i like the desk stand cover

[EVO 4G General] bron019:
my question is is there a huge improvement once you use that kernel?
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
If your EVO is like mine (aka, a pesky little craphead):

1) Battery life is about the same.

2) MUCH faster (On 8.1 and up)

If your EVO is like 95% of those owned by Snap users:

1) Battery life will increase by 50-300%

2) MUCH faster (The new .34 kernel really does make a difference).

If your EVO is worse than mine:

1) Battery life might drop a tiny bit.

2) Still going to be faster.
[EVO 4G General] goodelyfe:
yea what he said...pretty much a hit or miss

sadly, but expectedly all hardware/phones are not created equally!

some phones are even more sensitive than others on the floor...so try out each kernel if you do have problems for the 8.1
[EVO 4G General] cnstarz:
are you asking if the kernel is worth 1 minute of your time flashing it?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DWhite456:
Hey all-

Have an Eris that got root via the One Click Root that took it from 1.5 to 2.1 rooted.

If at all possible, I need to go back to 1.5 stock w/ whatever radio 1.5 had

Currently

XC Eng S-OFF

HBOOT 1.49.2000

Radio 2.40.00.01.22

Need some guidance please
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
What's wrong with the 2.1 that's out stock?
[General Topics] Commander Bubble:
hi all.

have noticed something with my hd2 that is rather annoying; as it happens everytime this is done.

i have music on my storage card, and the hd2 sense player will play it fine. however, if you connect it to a computer as a Disk Drive, so you have fast access to the storage card, and then remove it from the computer, the music player is unable to read the music stored on my card, and any that is stored on the internal storage as well. the only way i have found to resolve this is a soft reset, and then the player will properly find the media again.

it looks like it hangs while trying to search for the media, and if you tilt for albums, it can't find anything despite displaying the media on the portrait page.

apologies if this has been answered, but i couldn't find this bug in any of the other music freezing threads.

does anyone know what exactly causes this and how to fix it?

other than don't use it as a disk drive :p
[HD2 General] atn_chargers:
Hi guys, I really need your help. When I'm trying to flash a custom ROM on my phone, it finishes the process as usual and it will reboot the phone. My problem is that the ROM DOES NOT CHANGE??!! The radio is upgraded but the ROM stays the same. Any ideas?? PLEASE HELP! :confused:
[HD2 General] Elcs:
Do you still have the radio file in the same folder as the flashing program and the rom file?

If so, that might be your issue. Move the Radio file outside of the folder and try again.

Pay attention to the version numbers that pop up when you're going through the flash program too.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bplantonio:
I tried to nand unlock and flash cm6 but it all went wrong. I got a red triangle and my radio was downgraded. The only way i got my phone to work was by clearing my data in the hboot menu. Then i can get my phone to work but i cant update it back to 2.2 it says no updates were found. Does anyone know how i'd be able to get 2.2 onto my phone? This android build has apps called "wimax settings, router, tool" and "dev tools". I would like to just have my stock 2.2 back.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wongyung:
hi, i upgrade i9000 to jpc version through samsung kies, after completed, pda and csc show jpc version, but phone show unknown, now, my mobilephone can not to use, please help me to solve it, thank you, after upgrade, my mobilephone also can not connet to samsung kies, how to solve, thank you very much
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
Sorry your majesty, I know you believe you are an important person (since this is now the second post you claim is urgent), BUT people who urgently need to use their phone don't use pre-production firmware.

Downgrade your firmware. JPC is BETA. Use only final/production firmware, and stop installing betas. Lots of people are having issues with JPC..

AND STOP POSTING EVERY QUESTION AS URGENT!!! What makes your questions more important than anyone else's?

-----------------------------------

By Staska on 30 Jun 10

We’ve been hearing about the upcoming Android Gingerbread release in Q4 for a while now. And also how the new Android user interface will blow our socks off.

Still, everyone’s been pretty sketchy about exact details of what’s actually coming to Android Gingerbread. Until now.

Mobile-review.com’s Eldar Murtazin just went and spilled a boatload of interesting details about the upcoming Android Gingerbread release. Don’t run searching for these details to his blog or his main site, you won’t find anything there yet.

Eldar did all the spilling in his Russian podcast “Digestiv”. It’s audio only, so Google Translate won’t help you much. If you do not speak Russian, you’ll have to trust me on this

Her we go:

Android 3.0 Gingerbread will be released in mid- October (around 15 -16th), 2010. First handsets shipping in November/December – for the Holiday Season.

Minimum hardware requirements for Android 3.0 devices are: 1GHZ CPU, 512MB or RAM, displays from 3.5” and higher. (We all, of course, heard that Android handsets with 2GHz CPU’s are coming)

New 1280×760 resolution available for the devices with displays of 4” and higher. (Anyone thinking about Android tablets now? )

Completely revamped user interface. If you want to get a feeling of what Android 3.0 Gingerbread UX is like, check out the Gallery App on Nexus One. The same overall feel, light animated transitions,etc. Natively, through all the UI.

Android’s split into 2 branches becomes official. 3.0 for top of the line/high end devices. Cheap, low-end mass market handsets will keep Android 2.1/2.2

Eldar also confirmed my musings about the death of third party User Interface shells like HTC Sense, MotoBlur, etc;. Android 3.0 basically kills the need for them.

Still, there’s some hope for third party vendors here – while Google takes over the UI on the high end, vendors get to keep their UI shells/improvements on mass market Android smartphones, running Eclair or Froyo.

Update: I posted an update to this post, where I address Dan Morrill’s tweet, and do some corrections/clarifications regarding the upcoming Android update number issues, “minimum” specs – thay are actually only “recommended”, and the the split between high end Android 3 – low end Android 2.2 devices – it’s not an official Google policy, but it is happening nonetheless.
[EVO 4G General] ZachPA:
I'd say. Android 2.x seems to run just fine on the underpowered devices such as the Moment/Intercept, and yet it screams on my EVO. It screams even more with 2.2 and the new java compiler. I'd have a hard time believing that 3.0 is so advanced as to absolutely require 1 GHz. I'd think it's the same as Windows 7. Works swell on an Atom single-core, but really jacks up on an i7.

As for Google taking over the UI aspect, I don't believe for a minute that HTC will stand for it.
[EVO 4G General] dsh897:
what are you talking about google already Has UI control and they let venders (sprint, verizon) meddle with it to theyre specifications.. This article just confirms they will continue the same business practice.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Anyhow, I think vanilla android needs a huge UI refresh. Perhaps I'll look at going senseless with 3.0.
[EVO 4G General] EVO-lution of Man:
It would be even better if they got TAT to redo it with that flowing curtain UI I saw them demo on engadget. That would be sick.

Spoken into my EVO cause I'm probably driving
[EVO 4G General] Ep3n3wp:
That tat ui... I saw thee other day... And damn I liked it... Would lover to see it as a theme...

Really liked the way it flowed...
[EVO 4G General] n1gh7m4r3:
anyone got a link to look at that TAT ui?

[EVO 4G General] bludragon742:

[EVO 4G General] kenny111008:
That is A nice home the UI should definitely be put on gingerbread hopefully Google will work with TAT home

Sent from my HTC Evo 4G
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
While it's a little bit flashy for me (I like to keep it clean and simple, yet very functional) I'm almost drooling over tat. I want it on my evo right now. ;)

Any word on when it'll be out?
[EVO 4G General] n1gh7m4r3:
WOW

Thanks for the link, that was impressive. After reading their page, I can't believe they don't have plans to release that on the market, that thing would sell like hotcakes once the word got out. If anyone is testing that and has access to it, could they send me a message here please
[EVO 4G General] illogic6:
I've been looking for a copy of TAT since the G1. :P

After Gingerbread... Honeycomb

http://gizmodo.com/5628353/samsung-confirms-honeycomb-will-follow-gingerbread-in-android-name+game
[EVO 4G General] mjz147:
First off that TIT home replacement looks pretty cool, I could see a lot of people buying that.

However I don't see it being as big as HTC Sense or Moto Blur, after reading the FAQ it says that they aren't looking to release it in the android market anytime soon, but rather sell it to verizon, sprint, or samsung to use on a flagship TIT phone.

which I think is a huge mistake, especially when Android says 3.0 is going to bring major UI improvements that will decrease the amount of tweaks to the android OS, (HTC Sense, Moto blur)

However android 3.0 sounds great.

The way I think about it is, imagine the chage that 2.1 brought from 1.5 on a Hero (if you had one) or the major UI revamp,

2.0 brought new icons, app improvements, everything looked really nice.

The market in 1.5 and 1.6 looked down right horrible, black background, with grey colors.

2.0 made a huge difference in terms of making android looks like a serios OS.

2.1 improved the lock screen, screens, live wallpapers(few other things)

2.2 brought flash, huge speed improvement, more support, and many many more cool features.

If 3.0 is as hyped up as its supposed to be its gonna be awesome!

However it is needed, because some parts of the android OS need work.

for example the settings, and other menus are black and boring, users like seeing alot of colors and a nice screen and all that good stuff.

yeah, my EVO has an 800*480 screen resolution, but when certain parts of the OS look dark, and boring it doesn't make it look as nice.

ne ideas whats wrong??
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viks X10i:
this is very common problem on some android phones.. without proper solution yet.. i had (and still have sometimes!) this problem and searched lot for solution.. it is disscussed on this forum too.. just search it..

.. quick solution..

goto sim tool kit-roming setting-toggle and set it on SELECT VISITED NETWORK..

it keeps changing when you are out of reception area..

if your phone is rooted.. just FREEZE backup and restore app using titanium backup..

and check if it makes any difference..( i rather prefer to freeze it than uninstall..lol..)

these things are working for me .. hope it works for you too!!:)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unaha:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viks X10i:
ok.. it should have solved by the things i suggested.. wel thats not the exact solution for this problem... better you talk to your service provider.. i assume that you are using x10a with rogers contract.. this is really a sick problem with these phones.. you can check the google thread for it.. there are hundreds of people with same problem on their phones..

I just read that motorola is locking the leakers out of the official update. Now, is this even a trivial matter. Can't you just downgrade to 2.1 and then upgrade to the ota.
[Droid X General] gw4k:
Yeah man, what you read is true. Good ole' Moto has decided to block us out. Luckily we can always downgrade and then OTA.

All I need is someone to post a video on how to do this. Step by Step like am a complete noob with no idea of what is going on. Anyone up for the challenge?
[Droid X General] xxjekelxx:
wouldn't you just use rsd lite and flash the sbf back to stock. Also what if this is a trap set up by motorola to get people back on their software. Im thinking...since motorola is so shady, anyway....that its just a little fishy. After the eris leak, i think a lot of people are pretty certain on a way out before they flash something. You would think that motorola would know this as well....im just sayin'
[Droid X General] Joe92T:
You have to sbf your device.. After that it still wont boot, so once your done sbf"ing you go into the factory recovery and do a reset, good to go
[Droid X General] gw4k:
I would love it if you would write a guide detailing what the hell you just said. I have no idea what SBF is. Haha I know, I know. There are guides but I am sure there is more than one person who knows little about this and would like something step by step to follow.
[Droid X General] Joe92T:
To be honest, verizons networks check the build number of your device in order to see if you need the update or not depending on what version you run. I'm sure verizon could already of went through the list ahead of time and if it saw a mismatching build number to what its suppose to have, it could just block our phones ID from receiving OTAs

Thought I'd add the link from engadget.

I totally love my X, but Motorola's over-the-top hostility towards the modding community is starting to wear on me. I know that they could give two ****s about having me as a customer, but I am considering moving on to a Fascinate.

has verizon done this with a previous phone? I put a custom rom on a droid1 and then took it back to stock 2.0.1 and then upgraded ota. I was just wondering if verizon has done this to any of their phones before
