[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdurant:
Two reasons why I look at the G2. I had the Vibrant, but the camera was slow after taking the picture to get to preview. It took great pictures though. So I wanted a quicker camera like I had with my Mytouch Slide 3G. The other reason was the battery life. It was really bad for me. Oh one other, no flash for the camera.

So lets see what happens with the G2, so far I think it will do the job.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenbeau:
I have an N1 and a Vibrant and I find that the G2 is quite a good phone. I have found some issues with it. Namely Phone not ringing or showing voice mails ( double checked the settings and it is set to ring max volume with ring tone and voice mail activated. Also when clicking on Google Goggles it brings up either a black screen or Google Earth. Have no idea what is up with that. The volume and clarity in the head set is really low although the speaker phone is adequate. Battery life for me is acceptable. The hinge is slightly loose and I still not sure if i believe the spiel that Tmobile is giving me on the 4g being just 2 or less due to storage etc. as mine came with only 1.21 g use able. So far I am undecided as to whether or not I will take it back as I bought it off contract. If I had to decide this minute I would take it back. I use the phone for calls in my business and the volume and clarity is a deal breaker for me. I must say though that it is a solidly built phone with a lot of great features and qualities.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kludgineer:
VERY happy. The only real issue I see with this phone is the loose hinge issue, and since 95% of users don't hold their phone in a way that it will affect them, it is a very minor issue. It's also 100% avoidable-- just buy your phone at retail and test that yours doesn't have a loose hinge before accepting it.

The memory issue and the lack of tethering will be fixed in updates. They are annoyances, but not really issues.

HSPA+ is fabulous, it's just not as widely deployed as people would like. But 9.1Mbps on your phone is nothing to sneeze about:

The camera is not perfect, but it's by far the best camera I have ever seen on a phone (not to say there aren't better, I just haven't seen them). I took some pics at the dog park today, and while the success to failure ratio was probably 1 good shot for every 5 bad ones, that is a whole lot better than any other phone I have seen. Dogs don't sit still long at the dog park, so the camera has to be pretty quick to get them. This will never replace my DSLR for dog photos, but for a snapshot now and then it is outstanding.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kludgineer:
Hmm, sounds to me like you either got a dud or (more likely) you need the software reflashed. All those issues sound like they are software issues, so it should be fixable. Since it is so new, I would recommend returning it and getting a new one.

As for the line T-Mobile is putting out about the memory, it is basically a flat-out lie, however HTC is being honest about it. I talked to HTC on Saturday and was told that it is a known issue, they were working on it, and it would be addressed in a forthcoming update.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anther9:
Coming from a mytouch 3g and having used my wife's N1 extensively, the G2 is the best phone I have ever used. Absolutely everthing I could want. Fast, froyo, keyboard, tight hinge and professional looking. Also, soon to have UMA.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenbeau:
ING!!!!!! I have an N1 and a Vibrant and I find that the G2 is quite a good phone. I have found some issues with it. Namely Phone not ringing or showing voice mails ( double checked the settings and it is set to ring max volume with ring tone and voice mail activated. Also when clicking on Google Goggles it brings up either a black screen or Google Earth. Have no idea what is up with that.

I use the phone for calls in my business and the volume and clarity is a deal breaker for me. I must say though that it is a solidly built phone with a lot of great features and qualities.

update--I called the T Mobile store and related to them the issues ( which now include switching to E or 2g when downloading anything or loading the market.It will not hold a constant signal, tried the Vibrant same spot same time and it holds 3g with two bars at least.) I was immediately told that they would not replace it as they wanted to keep the units they have on hand for sales. My only choice is to get a refund. AMAZING!!!! Starting to wonder if this is a real lemon. Been with T Mobile for over 13 years and have never been told this. I also wonder if they might suspect that all the units have problems. When I purchased the G2 the salesperson made the comment "Why would you want to switch from the Vibrant to this phone?" THIS IS A CORPORATE STORE. am beginning to believe I should have listened.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strath:
I was told my current (G1) sim card was too old to take advantage of hspa+ and should use the new one. At the t-mobile store, they swapped it out for the one that came with the G2.

Is your sim card new? If not, it may be worth looking into.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tubaking182:
well i don't have the phone yet, but i have access to it every day at work and although there are things that i dislike, they are all minor things that i need to be less picky about. if i had a decent phone with a keyboard then i wouldn't care but right now i'm stuck on a slide until i can get the G2. once i can come up with 500 then i will be happy
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batrad:
Not a bad phone

Had a Nexus One, and kept running out of memory for apps (i know I could use SD...)

Like the full keyboard, but its a heavy phone..
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mftek1:
how much memory does the N1 have??
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moemoney12:
I have the N1, this phones feels like the the nexus two. The screen is slightly better than the n1. The N1 has more color and better black levels. But the colors are oversaturated. The g2 looks more natural and realistic. Of course the phone is faster. And the biggest problem with the N1 is the lack of memory for apps. So I love the 1.2gb for apps. And I'm sure it does have the 4gb as advertised.

This is beautiful phone, I love the design. Yes my hinges hang a little, but who cares, not a deal breaker at all. I love the quick office app. The keyboard is well designed. It seems that the battery life is on par with the N1, if not slightly better. The speaker is nicer and the trackpad functions better than the track ball.

I have the phone for three days and it rebooted itself one time. Nothing to be alarmed about. I still have eleven days to return it.

I love my G2. Vanilla my favorite flavor
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orite:
I came from a vibrant and before that I was a nexus one owner. I can tell you that the vibrant is a phone I really wished I had never owned.

This phone brings back the memories of the nexus one with a solid design and a qwerty keyboard which I haven't used since my touch pro 2.

Hi,

I have a complete stock non rooted SLCD N1 currently running FRG33.

I have been notified that the 2.2.1 update is ready to download but all i get is download failed?

The download is 82.4mb. It wont download via HSDPA or Wifi. I can get through to the internet no problem but it just wont download the update..

Any ideas?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Download and install manually instead of letting the OTA do it for you?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamin100:
argh.. didnt want to have to mess with it anymore and just wanted stock OTA updates :(

ok, so what do i need to do to get this to work ?

The phone isnt rooted however the bootloader is unlocked but has the stock recovery ...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Download the OTA file. Rename it update.zip and place it on the root of your SD card.

Boot into recovery (Power on with Vol- held, then pick recovery from the menu). When you reach the Android & warning triangle screen, hold Power & Vol+ to enter the menu. Pick install update.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bizarrebg:
Hi all,

I am looking for a player that can add folders to playlist, queue songs and be controlled from the original htc earphones.

Can you please advice me?

All players i tried messed up the default settings for audio playback and don't really want to try myself anymore.

I didn't found a related thread so i opened a new one. excuse me if there is one already.

If important my phone is t8585 with original rom, manila etc.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p107r0:
have you tried the Pocket Player (commercial) - it can add files/folders to cuurent playlist (just like "enquee in Winamp" in Winamp), not sure about HTC headphones

another popular alternative is Nitrogen, haven't tried it though
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bizarrebg:
No I haven't tried any of them. It seems Nitrogen will do the job for me. I will give it a try. Once I found an old version of winamp for pocket but it was hanging all over the time and it wasn't for a touch device.

Thanks for your suggestions!
[XPERIA X10 General] mmk92:
iv had my x10 for 2months, loved it but now im bored of it,iv been offered a trade with a nexus one, shld i do the trade? hopefully someone here has both(lucky basterd :P)
[XPERIA X10 General] realunited123:
Well i have one in my family(My brother)..

Its not so different than X10(apart from screen,camera and Android version).. I would strongly suggest to stick with your X10 and wait for next generation devices to hit the market.. You will have more to play with once 2.1 rolls out for X10 or we have some good news in Dev. thread..
[XPERIA X10 General] POLO_i780:
If you are the type who ***** and moan about Android version in the X10 then do yourself and us a favour, take the NexusOne and never comeback here, but if you're not bothered about its Android version and appreciate what it has to offer and has over the others then stick to your X10 :)
[XPERIA X10 General] phuangk:
If it's a straight trade without paying extra $$.. then go for it.

I believe you can resell it (if you don't like it) for a better value compare with X10 (at least in our market).
[XPERIA X10 General] chris_knows:
If I were offered the deal, I'd take it...I'm looking for a similar trade, but haven't found any yet unfortunately...
[XPERIA X10 General] matjan:
I think you should just wait for the update to come! Maybe your thoughts will change if you get 2.0 :D Ik hope my X10 will feel brand new after the update!
[XPERIA X10 General] lildic:
n1 look crappy !!

design sucks
[XPERIA X10 General] mmk92:
i didnt even mention the android version, do u like ***** like that to all posta?

im trading with a typical end user, takes care of his phone, makes phone calls, loves taking photografs so he rly doesnt care about things heavy users need, coming to think of it its rly easy to trade ur phone:)

i got the x10 for its looks but i never rly stare at it, ever, so to me hardware is before design

btw thnx guys for replying
[XPERIA X10 General] pco.vaz:
If you want the design and the slick UI and don't mind waiting for updates then keep the X10.

If you want to have 2.2 as soon as possible for the speed improvements and flash 10 then go for the Nexus.
[XPERIA X10 General] jassired:
Simply go for Nexus One.............
[XPERIA X10 General] xeviro:
Remember, its harder to type with Nexus One than with X10 because of smaller screen :D
[XPERIA X10 General] roaringhere:
Just stick to X10, Nexus One looks boring and ugly...
[XPERIA X10 General] POLO_i780:
I wasnt trying to insult you. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
I traded away my nexus one after it got froyo for a X10.....I haven't looked back! X10 is better imo.
[XPERIA X10 General] phoneguy 4567:
Having come from the N1 to the X10 I can tell U IMO the N1 is nothing special & as a phone was actually worse, outgoing sound quality according to friends was terrible. Maybe they fixed some issues with the recent 2.21 update but I think U will be disappointed with the N1.
[XPERIA X10 General] Sewez:
Both the same imo. You will lose bigger screen for multitouch and that's it.

X10 sounds terrible to me too. so let's consider this even.
[XPERIA X10 General] zhoustanley:
nexus one is the google developement phone so you are guranteed the newest updates (always the 1st phone to obtain updates) and it has MT

another factor is that im a big fan of physical buttons on the x10 vs the ones on the nexus one
[XPERIA X10 General] saeam:
You have to ask your self why you bought your X10 and then you can decide and consider every thing.

Design

Camera

OS

Sound

etc,

I knew this is not about Android Development, but HD2 XDA, dont have another part to post about other SO developments.

I have read today in irc, that Cotulla, NetRipper and Dcordes, are going star today the project of porting Meego to HD2.

Lets see who gona have the meeGo on device, HD2 or Nexus(who start as well a project).

I would love to see meego in my HD2.

Cotulla as done his work in NAND project, like he did in SPL and HSPL, now the issues of wifi must be done by other devs, because in cotulla device works fine.

Search Google. It's a high end Linux based phone OS being developed by Nokia and Intel. Unlike android, its a full fledged Linux distro, and is designed for small screens, so its another good option of phone OS that we could run on our hd2s. It will be great to have wm6.5, android, ubuntu, meego, and wp7 all able to boot on our phones. It gives a lot of choice.

It will probably be easy to run webOS games on it like maemo can... at least I hope it is. And it gives us hd2 owners more options if it gets ported.

Maybe you will never use it, but if the port works well I'm sure a lot of people, including me will use it. Meego is going to have a lot of apps and development done for it in the coming years, and the fact its a real Linux distro makes it a lot more versatile and will make porting Linux apps to it easy. It can easily replace Ubuntu as a full Linux district, and its designed for phones, making it even more useful than Ubuntu.
