So i currently have a Samsung Galaxy S (running FroYo Jp6 (the unnoficial release of FroYo that later Samsung pull off))

So I have it running using Voodoo (which enables the device in being very responsive Quadrant of ~ 1500ish)

So yes i like the SGS but am very interested in the DHD. But after reading some of the threads here it has become apparent that the DHD has some serious issues..

- battery life..

- laggy?? ( i would had though it was not laggy as it doesnt use a propriatory filesystem (ext4?))

- Camera ( is worst compare to the SGS 5Mpixels??)

- Video ( is worst?? )

- proximity sensor issue

So guys...i want your opinion, i have no experience in the DHD ( havent even seen it in person am in Australia..so is coming here next month)

So what i said above..about the disadvantages are only what i read..

Do you guys recommend me moving to DHD now or should i wait to see if HTC can fix the above issues???

First, I wasn't quite sure where I should put this, so if theres a better forum for it, please move it.

I feel like a real idiot right now, but nonetheless I'm having issues getting Eclipse 3.5.2 and the Android SDK to work (on Mac OS X).

I got as far as installing the ADT plugin and then once I got to "showing" Eclipse where the Android SDK was located I failed miserably. Every time I navigate to the folder and hit open and then apply nothing happens, it just stays at the "default" no SDK(s) screen. Bit hard to explain, so I took a screenshot.

So if anyone knows how to get that to work, it would be really appreciated. Maybe I screwed up something really obvious, that would be just my luck.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrdLock:
Umm, have you downloaded all the developer tools in the SDK? Launch the android binary in the /tools/ folder and look for available packages and install them all, or the ones you'll be using at least.

Wasn't sure if that would work, I'll give it a try and let you know.

some days ago, I see a very useful lightmeter installed on a iphone 4.

The program was using the camera for metering the correct exposure. it allows to change iso, f-stop and shutter speed.

is there anything similar in the android world?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] micah356:
it MUST be possible

I was thinking about this today, and I know the basic method for how a light meter app should function.

When you take a photo with the phone's camera, the file's properties contain the aperture, shutter speed, and ISO setting. From those values it is quite easy to calculate the EV value. And once you have the EV value you can have a calculator for all the possible ISO, aperture, and shutter speed settings.

Unlike light-sensor based apps, this would be much more accurate, because we know that the camera is capable of taking correctly-metered photos. The camera (at least on my Galaxy S) meters the specific point that you touch. I have tested the accuracy of the recorded image properties manually, by taking the three data values and putting them into this calculator:

giangrandi.ch/optics/lenses/expcalc.html

The app I'm describing apparently already exists for the iphone. All we need is for someone to develop the Android version. Unfortunately it is a bit beyond my abilities.

I don't know if its possible for an app to retrieve info from the camera as it is metering, but even if its not, the app could just let you take a picture and then immediately tell you the EV and all possible shutter/aperture/ISO combinations.

Anyone want to build it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Pet1981:
There is already an app for "proffesional" (as far as u can make professional photos with a mobile phone). But don't remember what was the name :(

Try if CamCalc fits you =)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] micah356:
CamCalc is just a calculator, it doesn't take any light readings...

As the title says. I have a HTC evo 4g on sprint. I am selling it due to needing money for bills. I have been looking at either the Samsung moment. HTC hero. Lg lotus elite. Or the LG rumor touch. What is the hero and the moment like when rooted. I had a Samsung moment for about 2 days and didn't like it due to it freezing up. And slow response. Is it any better or even comparable to the evo in speed wise. Also what about the hero and the other two non smartphones. Thanks again in.advance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
Don't know about the LG but I have some experience with the moment and hero. In relation to development and rooting, neither compare to the EVO. DON'T get a moment. Imo they are pure garbage and have extremely little development support. In terms of quality and dev support I feel the hero is a much better phone. Although, development has slowed significantly since the EVO's release. I still feel HTC builds the best Android phones.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ms79723:
look into the intercept or something. There is another Samsung phone that kinda has the build of the Epic 4g but is just an upgraded Intercept. I can't remember the name unfortunately, but it should be on the Sprint website.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I've read on some other forums that the Intercept is just as crappy as the Moment. The other one is called the Transform and I also read that it was buggy. I read that the LG Optimus S is supposed to be pretty good. It is an entry level phone, but ships with FROYO! It's also the best looking of the entry level Androids IMO. I think it comes out next week. You also have the Sanyo Zio as an option which is supposed to be pretty good as well.

The lotus and rumor are both dumbphones - completely different experience. I've handled a non-working model of the optimus though, and I have to say, I was VERY impressed with the build quality. It's a bit heavy for the size, but its a very solid feeling phone, better than any of the samsungs. To the point that it makes me think that LG will be a real player if/when they roll out a high end Android phone.

In three days my upgrade period is on, I'm getting an Evo, walking out of the Sprint store and smashing my Moment on the concrete as hard as possible.

Are those strong enough words to deter you from getting a Moment? (GPS sucks, data lockup issues if you download too many things or stream music, and overall lag due to no memory) Oh, and the dev community is still going a bit, but the stud developer got an Evo and is working on Evo stuff now. ;)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phatmanxxl:
Whatever you do, DO NOT get a Samsung Moment. The hardware is very bad and has nothing but problems. You will hate that phone. I had huge data lockup issues, no signal, around 4 hours battery life, the phone would mysteriously "black out", GPS was all over the place and laaaaag. At least it was easy to root, but it didn't play nice with root, also the graphics accelerator was a complete joke, so 3d games or any games with multiple layers are totally out of the question. Id go with the hero and OC that bad boy.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkhopper:
It's too bad you need to step back from the Evo, but if you want to stick with an Android based phone, you will not go wrong by getting a Hero.

I bought my Hero the day it came out and loved it. Easy to root with with 2.2. based roms, it's pretty fast. Not as responsive as the Evo, but it more than gets the job done.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marlowr05:
lol. Haha. I had a moment and hated it. Too many issues. Slowness. Freezing up. Horrible phone but better than the intercept. Lol. P.s. get some pictures or video when you smash it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kd0axs:
I'll throw my 2 cents in on this.

Not trying to rant here, just giving some honest (and unfortunately brutal) advice.

Just selling your EVO alone isn't really going to get you anywhere in the long run. Sure, you get a little quick cash now to pay a bill or two but if you switch to another Android phone (or any other smartphone) you still have a monthly bill of at least 69.99 to pay. This ends up being far more than what you paid for the EVO. Also don't forget you will be paying for that new phone out of what you made by selling the EVO.

If money is tight, it's not really the EVO that's killing you, it's that monthly bill. After having various smartphones for the last 3+ years I know it would be hard to go without it, but if you can't afford it, you can't afford it. After all, having a smartphone really is a luxury even though it seems like something you can't live without.

So, if you want something that will actually help your financial situation, here are my recommendations:

1. Sell your EVO, find a cheap non-smartphone, and switch to the cheapest, bare-bones plan you can get.

2. Sell your EVO, cancel your Sprint service, pay your ETF with the money you made by selling it, and go without a cell phone until you can afford it.

3. Find some other way to save money so you can afford to keep your EVO.

Oh, and BTW I agree about the Moment being a POS. Kind of hard to use the damn thing when it goes into airplane mode on its own every 5 minutes and they fail to acknowledge it as an issue.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brutal-Force:
This is the best advise in this thread.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marlowr05:
Ya I decided on keeping the EVO. Must say there isn't any phone like it or even anything close on Sprint to be honest. Sorry for the super late reply.

//new String[] {"from", "to"} imposta le colonne "sosta" e "orario" della map come valori

lv.setAdapter(adapter);

I don't want to cause any flaming,nor do I want to be rude or something,but facts are facts and I hate what Samsung and Apple do(let's face it,they have similar behaviours).They always brag about having the best,advertise too much without doing anything different/better than the others.So I stick with HTC.I like their software,I like their phones and I like the fact that they show some reason.
