[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
I have two Desires, one running Sense and the other running CyanogenMod.

My "primary" device is my Sense phone, but due to an SD card problem last week I had to switch to using my CyanogenMod phone as my daily device as I didn't have time to sort out the other phone until the weekend just gone.

The long and short of it is that I am back to using my Sense phone because I think that the experience is better. Whilst CyanogenMod and similar ROMs may well be faster, IMHO this is only really apparent in benchmarks and not in general use.

That's not to say that CyanogenMod doesn't bring a lot of nice stuff to the table (much of which should be rolled back into AOSP IMO) - just that I personally find that Sense is just a more pleasant user experience, and because of this I can't see that it is "bloatware".

Regards,

Dave

Sense = owns all (IMO)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -WP7User-:
I've got the same opinion like Foxmeister...Cyanogen might be faster but you can't really notice the difference between Sense and non-Sense Roms in everyday-usage. Cyanogen (and other AOSP Roms) are only better in Benchmark Test like Quadrant...And I think Sense is a great User Experience and makes using the phone much easier...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3llb3nd4:
It's down to personal taste, no one can tell you which one is better, you'll have to find out yourself through experiencing both types of ROMs

Thx guys~ i'll just stick to my leedroid 2.2e, love it...

Can any1 guide me into a thread or website explaining radio & kernel in android term? and how to install/flash it? is it by using rom manager? thx in advance... :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celestialspring:
how is your battery life fellas?

I used to loose 50% everyday with minimal usage :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] felix1318:
Tried Modaco not bad, but wanna try more, so i tried leedroid 2.2a, was very good, fast and stable, with launcher pro, then wanna try out non sense rom, because many said that it's faster, so i tried open desire, auto brightness seem to be a little too dark, get back to leedroid 2.2b, then don wanna give up on non sense rom, tried defrost again, turtle photoframe work slow when i change to other photo, some photos don even show up... get back to leedroid 2.2e... some how i found out that leedroid is faster than those non sense rom, y? i never use linux, sux at hacking, and love gaming (angry bird rocks!) and web surfing, i guess sense rom is better for me... wanna try cynogen but give up on non sense rom... leedroid is the best rom for normal user like me...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dennis.l:
This is too general a question. there are many different builds of sense ROMS and many builds of ASOP ROMS.. they are all different. you can't really compare them as "sense vs non sense".

To put it simply you cannot compare them as a whole category.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Currently using a MoDaCo R9 ROM.

23h 21m since unplugged and 60% battery left, though the phone was in airplane mode from around 11pm to 7am.

I didn't use the phone heavily yesterday, but did make/take a few phone calls, send/read a good number of emails, surfed the web, and listened to a bit of Spotify, so I'd definitely say my usage was more than minimal.

Regards,

Dave

P.S. <PEDANT ALERT> Argghh!! My pet peeve! Use of the word "loose" when what is really meant is "lose"! ;) </PEDANT ALERT>

I'm on the HD port from robocik and it just rocks...FB/Twitter/weather sync every hour, bit of WiFi/Angry Birds every day, Gmail as and when I get an email, few calls, few txts. Off charge at 7:30am and put back on at around 11pm with about 40% left
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3:
Sense vs. Non-Sense is a preference. As mentioned rightly, many of the ROMs in both categories will work just as good for a specific user. But there are some distinct differences between them without a question. After months of testing with no real favoritism or devotion to some dev, I prefer some Sense based by a big margin on many fronts (Stock by nickiberli and teppic, LeeDroid, RCMix). And quite honestly, I haven't till now used any ROM with my full setup that was clearly and noticeably as fast and smooth as the RCMix v0.11 (except for the dirt slow restart/start).

RCMix v0.11 battery life is indeed good (I don't see it any worse than HTC 2.2) and the Battery Info section now reports the usages far more correctly. But it is still a beta work on many fronts. No cam or vid playback is too great a major issue for a smartphone. I mean, even apps like Nvu, Smart Compass, Cam Card, Document Scanner, Shop Savvy, Surveyor, Barcode Scanner, etc, won't work as they should due to this. It should be a cracking ROM once they can get these issues fixed.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mac11700:
Has anyone benchmarked their internal 16gig sd card on the Captivate? I just did mine and it said it was a unknown class..and gave 10 gig mbs write/15gig mbs read speeds..

Does this mean it is a class 10 or higher card?

Mac

edited..I said gigs and meant megs
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhrProfess:
Right, I'm sure your card's reading/writing 10+GBPS.

You must mean "meg"
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mac11700:
Opps..I did mean mbs..not gigs...:o my bad

Anyway..it does say unknown class in front..then the 10 -15 speed..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhrProfess:
Huh. You know, that's a good question, and I, too, am interested in the answer.

I wonder if how the device mounts the card is in any way a sort of a contributing factor in the internal card's R/W and/or real-world use? Could this even be possible, in theory?—or is there some sort of a simple hardware bottleneck present in the card/chip itself, that thus constricts the efficiency of the phone's access to the card, and in some way puts it on par with a $5 USB-reader?

Is there such a thing as a more efficient, or a better-designed reader—that, if compared to a less efficient/badly-designed reader, would produce two significantly different benchmark-results for the same chip? What sorts of design-flaws could cause such an inferior result?

...Is the "internal SD" memory of the Captivate even comparable to a MicroSD chip at all?—or is it a totally different kind of flash-memory, and thus not subject to class-level designation (except for in comparison)? Perhaps that should've been our first question.

Don't get me wrong: I'm really, genuinely eager to learn how all this fascinating hardware works. Harddrives are pretty cool, too
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
Hard drives annoy me. I hate how 3 years ago I shelled out a couple hundred for a 300gb hard drive and now I can get a 1TB for 90 bucks!

But back on topic, should the class of the card really matter as long as there aren't seriously noticeable delays when moving data on/off the chip?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhrProfess:
Haha, yeah... but I meant, "how they work". To be sure, the same price-fluctuation occurs with all sorts of fast-evolving products: video-cards, memory-chips, VG consoles, displays, and all kinds of pocket-gadgets (and so on).

Economics often frustrates me. You know, I just bought a 16GB chip for 28$ the other day, and found it on sale for $20 the next day (but mine had already shipped)—and I so much would have rather been ordering a good 32-gig chip... but most are currently on for >$100 (but will surely retail for considerably less come January). Madness!

Practically speaking, no—you're right: knowing the supposed class-rating of the chip isn't going to improve data transfer-rates, or anything performance-based... but, I do think that such information is nevertheless useful: it will facilitate for me, and for perhaps others, a more comprehensive understanding of how this sort of hardware works. What we learn from these answers, may serve as background to future questions that we will one day formulate...

...and may even apply, perhaps, to things outside the realm of technology (it certainly has the potential to). To wax poetic for just a moment, I've always been pleasantly surprised to notice the uncanny applicability of seemingly-unrelated areas of study. Truly, what one learns in X, can almost always be extended to Y. For example, what one learns in math class, let's say, is easily extendable well-beyond the realm of algebra (which seems on the surface, to the average high school student, to be an incredibly arcane and impractical and/or irrelevant skill-set—which is hard to learn, and thus often isn't well)—however—in learning how to ninja one's way around an algebraic equation, one also learns how to think logically, and analytically, and does develop one's critical reasoning abilities, and one's memory, and one's capacity for rationality, and keeps one's mind sharp, and trains one's focus, and... so much more.

I'm not looking to marry math or anything; I just think that it's remarkable that most good programmers, strategizers, grammartarians, scientists and even philosophers are also natural mathematicians: they process thoughts in similar ways—point being, seemingly unrelated things, are often quite intertwined. Technology, to me, feels like such a relevant thing to understand fundamentally (given the age we live in, and all). The answers to these questions feel to me... applicable—and thus I seek them. That's what motivates me to.

If that was hard to get through, I apologize. Feel free to respond, or to get back on topic (and I am going to bed).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mac11700:
I understand what you mean..long winded and all:p

I have a much more simpler reasoning for my question..and that is to replicate the speed of my internal for my external sd card and to make it seamless. While this may not seem to important to some,for me it is. Having it the same will allow any transfers on or off it to be the same.Pause any hd movie loaded on a sd card and fast forward it..how long does it take to watch the movieagain ..do the same on the internal memory..and you will see just why I want it seamless and the same. A class 2 or class 4 card doesn't come close..even the vaulted class 6 isn't nearly as fast..and who knows when we will see good inexpensive class 8 or 10.The speed I got when benchmarking the internal storage lead me to believe it was a very fast flash drive and not a micro sd card as what I was told by the Samsung galaxy techs..and is most likely why I have not recieved any response back from them on where I can purchase one to match it. Getting to see this post earlier begins to confirm this to me..http://http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8354214&postcount=23...Also.. makes me beg the question to any Samsung represenative that may be following this..Why is it being allowed to be told incorrectly that the internal memory is a micro sd card..when it is not ?

I have a Transcend 8 gig class 6 coming tomorrow..and I'll benchmark that and time both storage to show you what I mean..

hi im sorry to bug the community but i think i ruined my phone =*( ok so what i did is stupid i guess, i had ryans oclf installed and had his v2+ lagfix in use, i thought i could make my phone even more amazing by using voodoo lagfix. i flashed and now it is stuck at the vibrant screen. i tried going into recovery mode and it works but im not sure what i can do... should i delete all user data?? or what? i tried reboot but still doesnt work. and im unfamiliar with odin but i am willing to learn. can someone, anyone point me in the right direction pleaase!!
[General Questions and Answers] gmphiife:
sigh of relief

nvrmnd- i cleared the data and voodoo was able to reinstall or something. man was that a close call. i remembered that oclf would have to redo everything whence you underwent a data wiping. ok cool. i remember reading somewhere that both could be run simultaneously but the installation must occur in a specific order. im tempted but for now i will leave the beast alone.
[Desire HD General] nednapalm:
Hi All,

somehow I managed to get google nav integrated with the car panel on the DHD, so you get to choose google nav or premium nav when choosing a destination. Have since hard reset, and can't find this option anymore... anyone know how to do this?

Thanks.
[Desire HD General] palexr:
I think you need to go to Settings > Location > Integrate Google Navigation.
[Desire HD General] brokensocialsteve:
I've been trying to figure this out too. The solution above doesn't work for me, the HTC nav is used instead.

Anyone have a soulution?
[Desire HD General] palexr:
Yep, sorry, got that wrong. I seem to remember the first time i went tot he car panel it asked me or something like that? Can't find an option to use Google Maps in the car panel.

Also, the Locations app or whatever it is called doesn't appear to accept postcodes?
[Desire HD General] nednapalm:
Hi,

Found it as you said under settings -> location -> Integrate Google Navigation. Now I get the choice when I pick a footprint.

Shame the footprint section is pretty rubbish.

Thanks!
[Desire HD General] M_T_M:
Close or keep open? :confused:

Cheers,

M_T_M
[Desire HD General] nednapalm:
close car panel, its under main device settings off the app menu.
[Desire HD General] Humz:
hey, this is semi related question,

while using HTC Locations I have noticed (disappointingly) you can not search using postcodes!

but you can in Google Maps so my ideal scenario would be to search with google maps and then navigate using HTC locations premium navigation.

unless any1 has found a work around? I thought maybe the integration would allow this however it appears to work in the opposite way.

Thank you.
[Desire HD General] palexr:
I've started a separate thread on this Navigator Maps - No Postcode entry? as I feel it deserves it's own discussion.

This is a major fail for any navigation software....
[Desire HD General] csimduke:
Hi for postcode navigation

you can input postcode in locations search field and press search icon

only input data is regular search

input data and tap search icon is advanced search
[Desire HD General] palexr:
Nope, nothing. Can you be more specific on how you are entering the data?

Edit - looking for PE22 0TU for example

OK, so if you enter a postcode (PE22 0TU) it won't find it. You then have to enter a partial postcode with no spacing (PE220), it won't find it.

But if you then press the blank result in the screen, not the search field, the bit that has an exclamation point followed by "Search for xxxx" it then comes up wiht a list of postcodes.

However, it is not the full list of postcodes and there are many it does not know about - PE22 0TU for one.

Absolute rubbish.

Leave open as follow up questions usually come around, in this and other topics.

Maybe you are a bit trigger happy on the lock button imo.

Have tried this, but had no luck.

It has also started saying i need to reinstall it (tried via settings>locations etc) but no luck, still getting the same problem :(
[Off-topic] StDevious:
So the bottom half of the touchscreen on my Eris crapped in random places which means I could use certain parts of touchscreen, others by pressing very hard and others not at all. In addition the trackball on this was messed up which caused the cursor on the screen to keep going to left randomly.

So then I upgraded to Droid X, and put the Eris away in a black dungeon not to come on again.

Recently, I moved in with a couple of friends into an apartment near university. I set up my desktop computer in my room, but the problem is that the Comcast cable modem with Wifi router is in the lobby where there is the only Co-axial output jack. So I couldn't put the PC in the lobby.

So I think of getting a PCI Wifi adapter for my PC, but alas the best buy near me doesn't have them in store and this is Friday. That means one won't reach me before mid next week. So how to get internet on my PC ?

ahaaaa.... ERIS ! :)

Eris + PDANet = Wifi Adapter => WIN!

After taking care of the issues such as not being able to type in the password to the Wifi network, which took some cleverness on my part (I made a file on SD card with the name of the wifi password, then copy the name from rename of Astro and paste into the password field to connect to Wifi) I had working internet on my PC. Although the speed was limited to around 2 Mbps while a laptop in the same room gets 16 Mbps on speedtest.net, I was able to game online in Bad Company 2 pretty smoothly with no noticeable lag or high pings.

Viva La Android! and Eris or what's left of it

Hi

I think that by mistake, on first initial HD2 configuration I put time zone as Casabalnca - Morocco (cant remember if it is the case).

Now, from times to times, even changing it to correct one - London timezone, my HD2 changes the time zone to Casablanca, thus making the clock to give me wrong local time.

Tried several solutions already (changing my location, etc,) but still problem continues...

Any help ? TIA

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filohipo:
Tks for the answer. Already done that.

The problem is that in Def - watch and alarms the time is set to GMT London and with no apparent reason it changes to Casablanca - Morocco.

Weather tag location time changes also to Morocco time zone(or vice-versa)

Is there a registry key that holds the initial (wrong ) information and at a phone reset or similar changes set values to Casablanca values ? Is the only explanation I have to this strange behaviour :-(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
on teh home screen, tap the clock and make sure my location is the one selected. sometimes manila doesn't seem to update itself when you edit the wm settings when it comes to time, and clocks and especially alarms and a;arm sounds and such like.

When I go check the "old" clock/alarm settings, I see again Casablanca Time zone...

Guys and Gals,

Please do us all a favor and do some analysis prior posting a rant or complaint about this build or that build in the cooks thread, do us a favor and do a little bit of analysis so you can give those that might be able to help some more info other than "this build sucks and my phone is broken".

And certainly dont ask what build you should try next because noone is gonna give you that info. Every cook had placed a disclaimer in there thread (I think) cautioning that all this is at your own risk.

I, for one, am tired of reading posts that do nothing more than bash the work of the people that are putting in all the time.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sleef:
I think asking which build is "best" is a natural question but you make very valid points.

My only complaint is the lack of stickies for informative threads that could answer noob questions before they even get a chance to scroll down.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] orangekid:
the things you are asking people to do are located in almost every thread in the Android forums. If they haven't stopped asking questions that could be answered with 5 minutes of reading or tested out ROMs on their own before this thread, you posting a thread about it is not going to change anything.

Ah yes, another example of the supreme arrogace of many of the denizens of this forum.

Sorry, but the vast majority of the information about the specifics of running android on the HD2 is buried or never well explained.

Examples include the PPP vs RMNET dichotomy, different kernel sources, AXI, how ringtones on the internal data store don't work, etc.

Hell, I've been floating around for over a month and still don't have a clue what AXI means.

While I agree, that yes, a lot of questions can be answered from the couple of informative stickies, it is irritating how much info it is assumed you know, and the casual disregard for how much of a time investment is actually needed to get a handle on what is going on.
