[G2 and Desire Z General] Superfrag:
That is just bad copy paste or some stupid error. They're the same chip, save the clock speeds of the Scorpion CPU. Why would Qualcomm waste money making two different SoC's with the same interior's, just a MINOR difference in features?
[G2 and Desire Z General] :
Do you have any kind of proof to back that up?

Those specs have been on qualcomms site for nearly a month now.

They are seperate lines.

It's like asking why intel would bother making different levels of cpus. There are different markets and different uses. I'm not sure if you noticed but the g2 has less physical space for a battery and would require a lower consumption chip and not just a slower clocked cpu.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
Yes it is the same. It's the same scorpion CPU only OCed at 1Ghz and the same gpu...
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
Yeah, I'd have to agree. They are a bit different but not thing noticable. I really even doubt they differ much from the G2's MSM7x30... what I mean is, sure there are slight differences between the G2, Desire HD, and the MTHD but the end users or even in benchmarks will be noticable. This is silly, yes? Or this about whether they are the exact same chipsets? who cares... the MTHD will be crippled by t-mobile's retardation of HTC sense, cheap housing, and poor development. The only interesting thing is the FFC and possibly UMA, TV, and WiFi/wired tethering which all can be added on.
[G2 and Desire Z General] joebobjoe:
TV? Great. There goes our HSPA+ speeds.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Arcadia310:
I'll be getting a MyTouch 4G for review purposes actually, but I'm sure I'll prefer my G2 over it. The keyboard is really fluid and stock android is the only way to go.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Taha24:
No way, for me its Stock Android only. That's really the only reason, but I must say the G2's body looks so much nicer than myTouch which looks plasticky.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mftek1:
You know the mytouch hd is not made of plastic. Its similar to the g2

Sent from my T-Mobile G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] Taha24:
From all the pics i've seen it looks like the back is plastic like the myTouch 3G and myTouch Slide. The G2 with the teflon coated back and metal battery cover is a pretty sick design I gotta say.

Look at this pic I saw recently:

To me the back cover definitely looks like normal plastic. And I'm not sure about the material around it, it could be the teflon coating, but in the white pic it also looks like plastic.

I guess we'll know when T-Mo decides to actually show it. I just get the feeling that HTC probably put more of their effort/resources on the G2 since they are gonna sell it worldwide (the Desire Z) while the myTouch HD is gonna probably be an exclusive design for only the smallest of the 4 carriers in America.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dynamikd:
The mytouch hd is running a newer 1ghz chip and it also has more ram than the G2. Which it would needed seeing as sense likes to eat up system resources.
[G2 and Desire Z General] clivo360:
I'm seriously considering switching to the mytouch HD from my Vibrant. I just don't know if I can leave my Super amoled screen. Although, I do know my battery life would be a lot better.
[G2 and Desire Z General] :
It's a metal body, look on youtube for videos of it. The back cover is metal, the colored portions are painted metal.

[G2 and Desire Z General] kinacool:
Honestly when I first go my G2 I was in doubt cause that one was crappy. My second Unit is a whole new ball game. After using stock Android, that alone is wining feature for me. I have never used sense but went to the store and checked out my touch 3g, i can tell you guys (except those who love sense), stock is the way to go. All that advantage in hardware will be used up by sense and just felt like it striped all that's free and flexible about the android. Also I really like the styling of G2. Just hope in future they should release every device will a stock version option as well and they will realize the facts. Well all I can think as upgrade to my G2 in a bigger 4.3" screen but Stock stock stock.
[G2 and Desire Z General] clivo360:
does anyone know if it has a super-lcd screen?
[G2 and Desire Z General] borodin1:
Has anyone thought of the fact that, since it has Sense on it, we can root it using unrevoked method? This is almost like this phone is coming out pre-rooted :-D I am not a huge fan of sense, but I'm going to try it out.

Loved the G2 on the paper, wasn't too impressed with it in real life. Returned it after one week.
[G2 and Desire Z General] HamNCheese:
One could also argue that since the G2 is made by HTC, it will be trivial to root (like most HTC handsets.)
[G2 and Desire Z General] tubaking182:
played with the new mytouch and i can honestly say that i was impressed with it, i thought it would be a POS like the slide, but even for a phone without a keyboard it is a nice one. and it has some really nice features on it like kidzone(if i remember the name correctly) for those with kids who love playing with phones. and the wifi tether will be in from the get-go. and it takes some pretty decent pics. i am going to look into getting it if i can find it cheap someplace but then again i have gone through 6 phones this year and i don't think i can afford another one. maybe after taxes
[G2 and Desire Z General] borodin1:
Yes, but later HTC phones all came with nand lock (think EVO) and they have been rooted with unrevoked. G2 doesn't have sense so that back door is closed
[G2 and Desire Z General] :
Hows the build quality on it? Does it feel as nice in the hand as the n1?

Do you remember if the painted part is plastic/painted metal?

One more question cause I like question marks?
[G2 and Desire Z General] tubaking182:
i was worried about the device before i saw it, i went in with low expectations and it felt great in the hand(and bt the sdcard is NOT under the battery). it has a good solid weight to it, maybe a little lighter than the G2 to my feel but honestly weight does not concern me when buying a high end phone, just like sdcard placement does not bother me. after 20 minutes of playing with it i was very impressed and if it had a keyboard i probably would have sent the G2 back and waited another 2 weeks.

on the other hand i saw the HD7 as well and even though i went into that hoping that it would be a step in the right direction i was sadly mistaken but that's a tale for another thread.

IMO if you like sense, don't mind on-screen keyboards then this will be a great device, no moving parts means no loose hinges so the cry-babies can shut up about that, and the FFC would be a nice plus but i don't think i would us it that often.
[XPERIA X10 General] youying:
I just read a thread from other firum in Taiwan.

People said the low earphone volume can be improved by engineering mode.

Here are the steps.

1. Make sure your X10 is in Screen-Lock.

2. press button as the following sequence

m b b m b m m b

m: menu button b: back button

3. Then you can chose "service test" --> "Earphone"

adjust it by the volume button.

I had no problem of low earphone volume before.

So this is just for those who encountered this issue.

If this works, this problem can be solved by firmware setting.

[Update]

After test, this just shows that earphone issue is not from hardware.

Wish SE solve this by 2.1 update.

I think it's easy (maybe not easy for SE guys... :( )
[XPERIA X10 General] DangerPanda:
Adjusted the volume, but unfortunately no one to call right now. Will see if it works soon.

Could you link me to the forum post as well? Thanks!

[XPERIA X10 General] saketh321:
yes you can adjust the volume setting, it wont save it...
[XPERIA X10 General] kiki_tt:
Wow ...excellent

Where do you guys get this stuff... engineering mode? ....wow... it works too

Excellent post :):):):):):):)
[XPERIA X10 General] metcard:
you can download 'any cut ' from the market and just add a shortcut to the desktop.

any cut > new activity > earphone

I dint think it fixes the.low call volume problem though.
[XPERIA X10 General] roaringhere:
I think in R2BA026, the Media Volume Setting is already at it's maximum. Mine does when I opened it and I don't remember adjusting it...
[XPERIA X10 General] Puck24:
True. It won't save the volume setting
[XPERIA X10 General] x10Mike:
Doesn't work on my x10i for some strange reason.
[XPERIA X10 General] Sighx:
Yeah.. too bad they won't save it..
[XPERIA X10 General] ddaemen:
Maybe u need root for that
[XPERIA X10 General] Quasicoto:
I can adjust the in-ear volume while calling. Just call yourself, keep talking while pressing the volume up button. Some bar saying in-ear volume will be going up.

Also, didn't it say media volume instead of in ear in engineering mode.

If you can't get into engineering...I couldn't also, but then I noticed that I wasn't pressing the menu button(left), but the home(middle) button...
[XPERIA X10 General] rjoshicool:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper717:
Hi guys, not sure if this is the right section. I attempted to flash my Bell Galaxy S with the [ROM] Bionix 1.9 - JI6 OTA Build - Oops I did it again *10/14/10* and basically it installed no problem, but once it did my phone would no longer connect to the network at all. No voice or data connection just sat on searching. I restored from my nandriod backup and to my horror, still no network connection (voice or data), wifi and everything else worked fine. I ended up doing a lot of reading and staying up until 8AM to get everything fixed, felt a little stupid once i knew how-to fix it.

But now to my question, if i want to flash one of the roms, is there any special procedure that i need to follow to not loose my cell network? Any help would be fantastic :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TriC_101:
LOL... Thats sux's anyways you can't flash that rom. its not for your phone you have a GT-I9000... that rom you have flashed is for the SGH-T959.... You will need to download Odin 1.3 and flash back the whole JH2 firmware to get your radio files back. or download any rom from the i9000 forums and flash it.. but the only way to get 850mhz back is to flash to the stock JH2 firmware. unless you know what your doing and know how to flash just the radio files. you can also try kies with a reg hack to flash different firmwares.. just look around in the i9000 forums..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedauntlessone:
Go to samsung-firmwares.com and download the JH2 firmware then flash it back. Tmobile Vibrant is different from the i9000x line of phones.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper717:
I think you guys misunderstood, I have fixed it already using ODIN. I was just wondering what was flashable without breaking my radio.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kewjoe:
I think they answered your question when they told you not to flash a rom that isn't meant for your device :)

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] settlethestorm:
Title says it all folks lol. I almost fully submerged my poor Eris, and to my suprise, almost all was well. My only problem is that my Eris thinks that there are headphones plugged into it when there isn't thus rendering my phone silent in everything the speaker would play. Now fortunately for me, under the cyanogenmod settings there was an option in the sound section to always play certain things on the speaker, an override if you will. This fixes my problem for notifications, calls and alarms. Still, I was wondering if there was a way to permanently overide the fooled headphone jack completely so I didn't have to use speaker phone on calls to hear anything and so I can play music and videos again. Any help would be terrific. Thanks in advance!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amfetamine:
Pull the battery and bury the phone in a bowl of rice (uncooked) for a couple of days. It should help remove any moisture left.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
The rice probably won't do anything at this point. You're screwed. The one thing you don't do when you drop your phone in the water is turn it on. If you ever get your phone that wet you immediately pull the battery and let it dry.

Basically your warranty/ everything is voided so I suggest you try opening the phone out and using compressed air to blow out anything that may be trapped inside.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] settlethestorm:
I didn't use rice although I know you can. I actually did what you said Hungry Man. Pulled the battery and let it sit out in the sun for a couple hours. When I first turned it on after that, I noticed the headphone symbol popping up and disappearing a few times, and then it just stuck. Do either of you know more about what cyanogenmod does to overide the headphones? My guess is that if It can be done with a few sounds, it can be done with all of them.

I do know my warranty is voided. That's fine tho. I have the monthly insurance that covers water damage, but the phone is fine, so I might as well open it up. Ill need to fond a tiny star key though lol.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayWalley:
Simular Issue

I can relate, I recently rooted my Eris and have been toying around with some roms. Somewhere along the way my phone started to think that headphones are constantly plugged in. Extremly frustrating! Have tried new roms, re-flashing, etc. but nothing helps. May need to try that rom you've been using to compensate. Any suggestions would be great!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
Did your phone get wet?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayWalley:
No it didn't get wet. Doesn't matter now anways. Just flashed the 2.1 stock rom and exchanged it for a new one.

Hi folks...

I'm just developing a software, which shall make the music tab start playing.

I don't know how I could do, because I've neither found a SDK to control the Sense Music Tab nor can I find any shortcuts I could use to control it.

May anybody of you has a link to the documentation of the Music Tab...

Thanks a lot in advance,

I recently got the J16 update for my samsung vibrant and noticed a small issue with my youtube app. I wanted to see if any one else was experiencing a similar issue. When I look for a video it will say searching for "xxxxxx" (the x's are symbolizing your choice of word). Once its done searching for the videos it will say at the top found "100000" for "xxxxxx" but the app shows no results it just says no videos found where all the videos should be

[Android Apps and Games] ironlood:
Okay just found out that in the version of the youtube app that I have the safe search is on and grayed out so I can't choose to disable this.

This is an issue since I can't veiw any videos with questionable words in the search like cannibal corpse songs.

Only way I've found around it is searching on mobile youtube then choosing to play on the app. Which is very inconvenient.

Is there a easy to fix this that I'm not able to find

And while I don't agree with everything he has to say, I agree with some of his points - it's close to the same argument of windows vs. os x. I love my Evo, Android and Sense, but $58 bucks a month for tons more services with Sprint is a big factor in that love. ;)

[EVO 4G General] tomh1979:
I'm very happy with my fragmented OS, besides i use roms from DEV's on this site, mainly due to they actually listen to what's going on with the rom's they develop and they figure out a fix for it asap, try seeing how long it takes for a Corp. DEV such as HTC or Google to listen to you and fix your issue. I'd much rather have my custom rom that Just Works versus having the exact same OS as "x" numbers who all have the same OS and still can't change their own battery without mailing their device in or without having to go to a corporate store.

Steve your still a Joke.
[EVO 4G General] backdown:
People sheeps..look at trends. Wait, trends are sheep people.

This is what business is about. You want users to be able to repeat your advertisements, or chants. Why do you think they create slogans? Off the top of your head i bet you can say the McDonalds slogan. Now Walmart. What the point is, is that you want the people to be able to follow your products. It is about business.
[EVO 4G General] dwd3885:
It's funny because I love Macs. I have an iMac, iPad, iPod nano and my wife has an iPod Touch. I've had every iPhone except for the iPhone 4. I love most Apple products. But switched to android when the Nexus One came back and haven't considered switching back to the iPhone since.

Android is a much more robust OS. You can do pretty much anything you want to do. And the average consumer doesn't know or care about fragmentation. They see it as, 'hey, I want a smaller phone (Incredible) or I want a larger screen (EVO, X).' And even then, all those devices have 2.2 on it so there is no fragmentation. Steve Jobs needs to get more informed. He's likely never even used Android and is just spewing irrelevant and incorrect statements.

Id rather not have all Android Devices pushing the same exact thing (ex: interface). I like how it is, because dev wise, it brings a lot more excitement. Every time I go from cyanogenmod to Sense, it feels as if I just got a new phone, I like having that feeling.

[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Kind of like the people who buy Android tee shirts pissing on a Apple logo? Brand loyalty (sheep as you call them) exists everywhere and it's not limited to Apple. We/I can point out a bunch of in denial Android/EVO fanboys on just this forum to prove it.

Fragmentation is a problem. It's not about having a wide variety of phones (because that's a good thing); it's about the variety causing troubles for developers, even Google them selves. If I get a new current iPhone, it's pretty much guaranteed that it'll run iOS smoothly and as intended for about two years. It's the same deal with third party apps. On Android though, you can buy a new current phone that 1) doesn't run the latest version of Android and may never will, 2) doesn't run Android smoothly because it can't possibly be optimized for all hardware, 3) third party developers have a hard to make their apps compatible with the vast variety of hardware and versions of Android that are still in use.

You can go on the Android Market right now, click on almost any app, look at it's reviews and see hundreds of comments screaming about the app not working on their phone. The everyday consumer is stupid, they have one bad experience with Android and it'll be less likely that their next phone will be Android. And that's bad for business and the point Steve Jobs was trying to make.

[EVO 4G General] achllles:
I used to own iphone 3G, and 4. iPhone 4 is indeed a very solid phone with very solid build quality. The downside of owning it was you have to deal with ATT. Apps like orb, and slingmobile got even worst because of retina display and the crap data limitation.

I think both Evo and iPhone 4 have great ups and owns.

I love iphone 4 for it's solid build, and does what's it's supposed to do with no need for tweaking. Down side of it is ATT, and no wifi tether (I didn't jailbreak it yet since there was no need for it for my wife), and data cap on certain apps. Oh and I have not experience the death grip issue, and let's not forget loads of free games that are actually good.

My monthly fee for 450 min, unlimited data, no text(google voice=profit!), no mms = about 70/month after all fees and taxes (EDIT** This is ATER 15% corp discount-I think I used to pay close to 90 w/o the discount).

Upside of Evo is great screen size, Sprint with Asurion insurance, easy to root and enable wifi tethering, great slingmobile quality, and the monthly price. The downside of Evo is crappy build quality (on my second Evo due to glass coming off, and even brand new one's glass can be pushed down)

Monthly fee for SERO prem = I'm assuming it's going to be around 65-70 bucks after insurance/taxes which includes unlimited texts/MMS.

[EVO 4G General] mkhopper:
Problem is, it's correct.

The majority of phone, mp3, toaster buyers are sheep.

Folks like us who read forums such as this one; Those who understand the inner workings of their device and would like to have the ability to change it if desired; Those who enjoy digging into and learning about what they have....

We're the minority. The very, very small minority.

Apple got it right with devices that just work when you turn them on and they do exactly what people expect. Your average 16 year old girl could care less about rooting or jailbreaking. Can she send text messages, listen to music and read Facebook? Bam, the iPhone is good enough. Oh, there was an update to the iPhone software? A few minutes of data transfer and a reboot later and she can get back to what she wants to do with it.

For Android users, it's a question of which phone? Which UI does it come with? Which OS version does it have? You start throwing information like that to a general, everyday, I-just-want-it-to-work user and their eyes glaze over.

I still believe that Android will eventually overtake the iPhone, just by sheer number of devices and carriers, but Google really needs to rein back a bit and let the device manufacturers catch up. We just barely got Froyo rolled out and there's already talk of IceCream.

Fragmentation is a real problem. Not just to users, but developers. The Market is full of comments that say things like "not working on X device".

You don't see that in the iPhone app store.

It's issues like that that will continue to turn sheep users away.
