Wow! Been thinking about ditching my blackberry bold for the torch, but I think I'll get this instead.

Bit of a WM fan but android looks good, still loads of apps/hacking etc.

Oh please god i hope Orange get this (or O2)

Upgrade due in October. Yay!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Zaim2:
Qualcomm says 7X30 uses the same Scorpion core, so it's probably underclocked, meaning we could setcpu it back up to 1ghz.
[G2 and Desire Z General] norocel:
Well for me if it's fast enough no need to overclock it and there must be a reason to be underclocked so don't really mind..im really curious about the new display,don't really see the point to push a phone to it's limits just to see the numbers :)) my nexus that i teribly love it just works fine and snapier than ever,i will change it in favor of keyboard but i'm still thinking of keeping it rather than sell it and buy the z...Good phone!

Edit:Anyone have any ideea the multitouch is it better?i realy want a better multitouch since new games are developed for android like "nova,sandstorm etc etc" wich are super cool games but the crappy multitouch on my nexus make them difficult to play.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mtl171:
looks frickin awesome. kind of makes me happy that i couldn't afford an unsubsidized Nexus One xD
[G2 and Desire Z General] wywywywy:
It seems to take much longer to boot in another video.

(The Engadget size comparison video, where the Z is booting)
[G2 and Desire Z General] schriss:
Can they remove battery and then put it back and do the test?
[G2 and Desire Z General] wywywywy:
Someone said it boots so quick because it doesn't actually boot - it resumes from hibernation. So removing the battery will have no change I don't think. But a full reboot will still be slow.

So it begs the question - what is the point of this fast resume anyway? Who puts their phones in hibernation...
[G2 and Desire Z General] schriss:
I think it's you when you power off you actually do hibernate without knowing and then it boots in 2 secs, so it makes sense... In such case, an actual reboot would take longer than shutdown and bootup.

When you install new application and it asks you to reboot, then it might take longer than 2 secs.. if reboot also takes 2 secs then it would be even more impressive!
[G2 and Desire Z General] cydia:
i am also concerned about the 800ghz processor. but in retrospect it is the exact same processor as in the HTC Desire HD but i the Kernel is under cloked. so once it is rooted you can simply over clock the processor of both the desire Z and HD to 1.3 Ghz and it will not drain power due to the power consumption been lowered by the over clocking apps
[G2 and Desire Z General] kinnyfaifai:
I'm personally not going to be worried about the Z running at 800Mhz. The MSM 7230 is fabricated at 45nm and the QSD 8250 is fabricated at 65nm, the shrink will help with the performance.

I must say this phone has my vote, and I hope O2 will stock it!
[G2 and Desire Z General] elliott_stocks:
I was waiting for them to bring out a qwerty keyboard, think I will upgrade to this next month :D I was going to go for windows phone 7...but still abit unsure haha, Anroid is better apparently?
[G2 and Desire Z General] mtl171:
800 ghz? where?!?!?! jk. still think overclocking might take a toll on the battery life. that in addition to cmod will definitely kill the batt life.

android ftw! personally was going to get an iphone 4 since i was stuck on at&t. though since then decided to hop on my friends tmo plan and get a g2. hope i don't regret this decision.:rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z General] LockeSGS:
It's impossible to boot Android 2.2 so quickly. Unfotunately, it's just a hibernation, not full system start.
[G2 and Desire Z General] cydia:
why do htc always underclock when the processors are capable of doing 1.3ghz in the desire z and HD?
[G2 and Desire Z General] cydia:
i am just going buy it unlocked from play.com i think unless o2 or another network gets it in alot cheaper
[G2 and Desire Z General] mrvanx:
Yer, play.com was what I thought aswell....I needed it delivering to another address so somebody can sign for it while im at work but play.com wont deliver to an alternate address for this apparently?!?

Mobilefun.co.uk has the Z for the same price (£429.95 as apposed to £429.99) and will deliver to an alternate address (providing it isnt your first transaction), they are pretty good and I got my TyTn (Hermes) from them back in 2006.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
Here's another video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8W48wH9JQc

Turn off, then turn on, abou 4 secs boot - awesome
[G2 and Desire Z General] mtl171:
personally thinking its loading the os into the ram before it turns off. that would allow a quick start thought might consume some battery power(not alot). they should try popping out the battery(hence zapping the ram) then turning it back on. should take like ~45 seconds
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
I´ve done some research.

IT'S A CHEAP TRICK from HTC called "HTC Fast boot"

which is basically a sort of hybernation

A full boot, accomplished only when the battery is removed, takes aprox. one minute

[G2 and Desire Z General] zaghy2zy:
Well, I am in favor of the QWERTY keyboard since I really like to have something to touch... Onscreen keyboards hate me... as much as I hate them...

Anyhow, I am thinking about the 800MHz processor... but For me, as long as it can play videos with a good quality, be snappy and play my music while lasting at least at the end of the day would be great.

I am really thinking of getting this... But so far I am still waiting to see what WP7 phone will come out this october... and probably HTC will put out some nice ones... so I'll wait and see.... if I don't see any nice ones this october then I'd be getting this, :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] AMoosa:
Apparently a 1ghz processor is a pre requisite for Gingerbread! Does that mean that the Desire Z won't qualify?

Sent from my HTC Desire
[G2 and Desire Z General] wywywywy:
That was a rumour and nobody knows whether that is true or not.

Personally I find that hard to believe.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Red John:
Battery life? Performance? Reliability? The lack of need for 1.3 ghz phones at this point?
[G2 and Desire Z General] mrvanx:
Hibernate or not its bloody useful I think. I wouldnt say its a

cheap

trick either as the whole point of turning off the device for most people is for entering premises (such as hospitals etc..) where they dont allow mobiles, or for during meetings, night time etc... so a nice quick power-on would hit the spot I think to most people.

PCs have had the hibernate function for years, quite a nice way of powering off I would say, if the OS can do it....why not?! :)

The flipside of it though is I hope theres a mod/method to choose wether its a full shut-down or a hibernate as I guess there will be occasions where a full cold boot would be needed - applying new settings/kernels etc..??
[G2 and Desire Z General] wywywywy:
Don't people just use flight mode anyway?
[G2 and Desire Z General] andrewilley:
Yes, but you still need to turn off completely for take-off and landing.

Andre
[G2 and Desire Z General] mtl171:
but then i won't be able to play doodle jump when i'm bored :( tip: put phone in airplane mode, wait for flight attendent to passby THEN play gamez. airplanes have had EMF shielding since the 80's but its just a precaution. just don't let the flight attendent see you or they might rage.
[G2 and Desire Z General] zaghy2zy:
If you ask me, the only time I would actually turn off my phone is....... uhm...... I can't really remember any good regular reason I do so... I just usually switch to airplane mode or just keep it in silent.... so, this quick boot doesn't concern me that much... but it should be a nice thing once in a while...
[G2 and Desire Z General] Yellowfrizbee:
I feel the same way. I cant believe this wasnt implemented a long time ago, tbh. I mean, why the hell not? I cant see any cons.

Ill definitely turn my phone off alot more often now. Like at movie theaters, meetings, to save battery, etc. Also, I saw a "restart" option along with the shut off phone option, so perhaps the restart would perform the full restart.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ballantyne:
When i turn of my phone, I want my phone to be really turned off so no remote connection is possible.

But maybe that's cuz I am paranoid.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mrvanx:
The hibernate function, if that is what it is, is indeed powered off. If its anything like how a PC hibernates it saves a snapshot of the RAM then powers down. On power up it restores the snapshot back into RAM and the device continues as if it was never powered off.

Remember this isnt confirmed that its a hibernate function....there may be something else happening with the "Fast Boot" function........perhaps some XIP like components etc....??? speculation ofcourse!

I highly doubt the fastboot function will leave the device still powered on during the "off" period.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
HTC has confirmed it *is* some sort of hybernation

Please check post 31 of this thread (page 4)
[G2 and Desire Z General] mrvanx:
OK so the article in question says:

Hardly a concrete confirmation of any hibernate functionality, if anything this article suggests a form of deep sleep and that the battery must be present and charged for it to function.

We are really still speculating here.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mtl171:
my guess is the battery is needed to keep the data in the ram alive. in other words the phone is asleep connectionwise but still able to turn on quickly. though might have a slight draw on the battery when its "off"
[HD2 Accessories] WizP:
Just ordered one of these from carphonewarehouse and got my confirmation email through.

Will write back when I get card and fill it to capacity to check that it works OK.

Best deal I've seen on these closest I've seen is £83 on amazon.
[HD2 Accessories] johnerz:
A good price, look forward to your comments :)
[HD2 Accessories] troed:
Yeah ! Good prize, mine was 98 pounds 3 month ago ........ :mad:

But it is worth it. Finally I can pack all my presentations, photos, docs and music on ONE card plus my favourite films ........... :D

It works like charm, even videorecording is smooth and open ended
[HD2 Accessories] johnwalk:
I got a class 6 of Amazon for £88 works a treat
[HD2 Accessories] WizP:
Received the card on Friday. Came in UK Sandisk packaging.

Can't comment on the read speed (Forgot to benchmark it) but getting a constant ~5MB/sec write speed copying 24GB of Data onto it.

So far seem nice and fast. Don't seem to drain the battery like others had mentioned about microSD cards.

So yep am happy with the purchase!
[HD2 Accessories] johnerz:
Thanks for the update :)

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dotcomfreak:
Hi, Ive been experiencing problems charging my X1. Its 18months old, it will charge from a usb port however will not charge from the original SE mains adapter (or any other Ive used). Any suggestions?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mymailx:
Wasn't it obvious? The main charger is broken?

But if you really want 2b sure. Maybe you can try this, (I tried this before on my ex-phone) Try to plug your USB Flash Disk to that charger. If you have USB flash disk with LED, you can see the blinking LED, vice versa.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dotcomfreak:
Ive tried 3 different mains chargers! all with seperate cables, all which charge through the laptop.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mymailx:
3 mains chargers from sony ericcsson or appropriate charger for X1? I really have no idea.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
It seems weird to me too. Technically it's nearly impossible that the charging process only works in connection with a laptop/ PC. I recommend trying a charger from whom you are sure it works (from a friend, from a store...). Maybe all of your chargers are defective (coincidences happen) or inappropriate (heed the output voltage and the maximum current provided by the charger).
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMace:
X1 charges only from USB - broken phone hardware?

This thread is getting on a bit but just experienced same problem with my X1. WON'T charge from charger, WILL charge from computer USB or other USB. Bought new battery and new charger, tried various charger leads, no joy.

Finally tried making up USB charger lead from old bits connecting ONLY 0V and +5V lines, NOT data lines D+ and D-. Now WILL charge from both old and new chargers and better half's HTC desire charger, but presumably at USB modest charging rate rather than high speed mains charger rate.

I think it must be broken phone hardware which is happy with USB but when it detects a dedicated charger via the data line shorting in the charger now fails to switch over to high charging rate. Breaking the data lines tricks it.

Hope this helps. If anyone can point to a software fault rather than broken hardware feel free to make my day.

Cheers

in BillMeDB.java change

public BillMeDB(Context ctx) {
mCtx = ctx;
}

to

public BillMeDB(Context ctx) {
mCtx = ctx;
DBHelper = new DatabaseHelper(mCtx);
}

also in ViewActivity.java

company.setText(this.dh.getEntry(0).toString());

i guess you are trying to display both the KEY_ROWID and KEY_BILLNAME but i think you can't treat a cursor like that. you must first use getEntry(rowId) to get the cursor and then use getString(columnIndex) like you did with getEntry(1). maybe something like

(you must do this before closing the db)

c = db.getEntry(2);
if (c.moveToFirst())
company.setText(c.getString(0) + "\t" + c.getString(1));
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] abiezer:
Has anyone been able to find any emulator that will play Golden Sun 2? I was able to beat Golden Sun on GameBoid, with an occasional glitch. In those cases I'd have to use VBA to pass those parts. With Golden Sun 2, I transfered my characters on VBA with link cable and created a save file. Golden Sun 2 won't even start up correctly on GameBoid, much less work correctly during gameplay. Does anyone know any emulator that actually plays it right? Or at least some kind of a fix?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] cosine83:
The Lost Age isn't the second one, just a continuation of the story of the first one (if you transfer your save data).

As for the emulator, it's something that has to be fixed in the emulator itself. As far as I know, none of the GBA emulators play it properly. Mine resets during the intro continuously.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] abiezer:
For those who care, I spoke to the developer and he said he is working on a fix.
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
I dunno if you've seen it but it starts in about the time it takes my legend to turn the screen on. Anyhoo

Do we reckon it would be possible to put this kind of thing on other phones (Namely our Legend)? It's called HTC Fast boot; so would it be possible to, when they're released, port the stuff in the ROM that does this? Or not? Or anything even close?
[Legend General] Chapell:
It's very early to tell, but if they'll release to other phones (like Desire) there's a very very good chance it's possible.
[Legend General] c_man:
For what it's worth I don't think the boot time for our Legends is bad at all. I'm satisfied with it.
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
Yeah, but faster is (nearly) always better
[Legend General] qzem:
Watch second video, you can see how fast is boot speed! F*** yeah :D. This is what we need for legend!

http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/15/htc-desire-z-hands-on/
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
My only worry is that there's some stuff going on there that's not ROM related. Maybe bootloader tinkering; who knows?
[Legend General] bedoig:
From CoolSmartPhone.com (note the last couple of sentences):
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
Yea.. I had a feeling that it was likely to be a suspend. This does, however, make it more likely to be ported to other phones...

No. Not. At. All.
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
What's that in reference to?
[Legend General] c_man:
For what it's worth, I played on the Desire HD (and Z) last night as I went along to the HTC event. The boot speed IS very impressive, but it's a nice to have, not a "need to have".

Some people were overly impressed with the boot speed, some not impressed at all. Afterall, there is more to a phone that how fast it manages to boot up :).

If you want the closest you can possibly get to unmodified stock, you could flash Unrevoked Forever and follow the "Stock 2.1 to Stock 2.2 ROOTED" guide in my sig.

Or, if you don't want to go through the work of installing the regular OTA, you could install a pre-rooted ROM. It should end up being pretty much the same thing as above. However, when I did it this way, I had issues and had to wipe to clear them up. YMMV.
[Wildfire Android Development] litening:
I just received the latest Wildfire OTA firmware update. Apparently should fix some Friendstream issues and the device is reported to more responsive on the whole.

Am too much of a NOOB to do anything with it (it won't even install on my rooted device with the Wild Puzzle ROM).

Weird that I get an OTA update after rooting and flashing though.

Anyway, attaching the OTA file here for all those ROM cookers to disect and to update their latest custom ROMS.

EDIT

Ok, the update is about 13MB,which exceeds the allowed upload size.

If you're interested in this update, PM and I can get it to you via YouSendIt or maybe someone can upload in on Megauploads or the the like.
[Wildfire Android Development] fishb00n:
are you serious?

there are many topics about it already :-)
[Wildfire Android Development] litening:
Yeah... Sorry. I saw the latest Wild Puzzle ROM already has a later version.

Do you know if I can delete this thread so I don't look too much like a dufus. ;-)

Weird though that I got the OTA update even though I'm rooted and I'm running a custom ROM.
