[Nexus One General] blas4me:
I've been hearing a lot of good things about the G2, someone said the N1 is outdated, maybe their right, this happens in the technology world. I'm just glad there is a large variety of Android devices.
[Nexus One General] :
How is this relevant to anything?
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
Pretty confused myself why he said that JC ;)

Best guess would be that he thinks you were saying the Nexus S was only going to be on T-mobile (no Att love), so he was arguing his case that even if it was a T-mobile only phone that it might be able to be used on Att's 1900 3g band the way the Vibrant is.

Either way he just took your original comment out of context since you were only telling the guy who asked if it was on T-mo that it was, plus you didn't say anything about it not being on Att.
[Nexus One General] :
100% of my plastic phones cracked/creaked/had scratches (without being dropped).....none of my aluminum ones had any of the above or dents(with drops).......

see how your argument doesnt hold up? im pretty sure empirical tests will show plastic is significantly inferior to aluminum. You would need very high quality polymers/polycarbonate plastics to match the durability of aluminum. (also AFAIK iphone 2g only has a thin aluminum outer shell. nexus has an aluminum unibody)

like i said before...its a preference thing. both materials will likely suffer damage in bad drops....if you dont want your phone to fall prey to the wear and tear damage... anodized aluminum will be better
[Nexus One General] SoberGuy:
I actually read what he quoted wrong. My bad.

Sorry about that JC. Didn't even notice it was you. Oops.

Nexus s is sucky? This phone isn't even released yet and people are breaking it down like their experts. N1 took a lot of criticism too so I think its quite promising.

[Nexus One General] TZAR@:
Well said, I second that. I'm seriously considering waiting for Samsungs new plant to open so they can sell HTC some samoled screens, then maybe I could get a decent phone to root.
[Nexus One General] nexus5894:
Their phones aren't cheap, they are just very light, which makes them feel cheap. I still agree with you though, HTC rules.
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
its not just that. weight of the phone also effects the damage. lighter the phone, less damage. also fully replaceable back of the phone makes alot of sense. nexus one does feel good in hand and does look very good, but in pocket Galaxy feels nice because you cant even feel it. < thats a big positive that i noticed
[Nexus One General] MitchRapp:
they expect people to pay 500$ for a piece of cheap plastic.
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
well you did pay $500-600 for cheap broken Amoled display, 2-point touchscreen, cheap speaker, and ****ty camera.....

so paying $500 for cheap plastic with best display technology to date, #1 hardware to date, and Gingerbread is really not that much
[Nexus One General] Award Tour:
Don't forget about the crummy GPU.
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
I don't really see the appeal of debating whether a phone is good or not before the official specs come out. Just my opinion :)
[Nexus One General] harris.milist:
yeah, but this phone is approved by google to use it's nexus, so i think it got something.
[Nexus One General] DKYang:
You should copyright that quote. Really.
[Nexus One General] :
Or Google lost something...

PS I like my N1. Still do not know whom do I have to blame for this piece of the art in my pocket... Google or HTC. Second breath this device got after I decided to root and flash CM. One day I will try to put slackware into it, I think. Until then I do not see ANY reason to even put this piece of s... Samsung into my hand. I simply do not like it. And it will be very difficult for anyone to change my mind.
[Nexus One General] :
haha i actually like feeling my phone in my pocket. it lets me know its still there right beside me all the time :D

ya its nice having a replaceable back but luckily ive never run into any problems (even with my plastic ones)

I liked the matte finish on the G1 but it was so damn squeaky lol
[Nexus One General] :
how is the nexus screen "cheap" and "broken"

the camera is not any worse than the galaxy s that ive seen (agree with the speaker and the touchscreen though)
[Nexus One General] OJ in Compton:
He's probably referring to the pentile layout. If it wasn't for the fact that the blacks are worse on the SLCD, I wouldn't hesitate to take that over an AMOLED on my phone.
[Nexus One General] draugaz:
Well, the Samsung GalaxyS super-amoled display has the same pentile layout as nexus one. For my eyes it is even worse than nexus one, since display is even bigger but has the same resolution and has coarser dithering.

So, I can't really agree, that S-Amoled is the best display technology to date. At least not for me. I would sacrifice those "deep" blacks any time over the crispness of LCD.
[Nexus One General] aze2:
I'm ready to bought a Nexus S if:

- is a Dual Core Orion

- is a 4" Super AMOLED2

- is a 8mp photo

else, I think bought a phone with a Tegra 2 and a good screen...

ps: in big, I bought a Nexus S only if is a Super Phone (not if is just a Galaxy S+)
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
I'm pretty sure SLCD generates more heat than AMOLED though which leads to battery degradation when the phone gets above 98 just by surfing the web on 3g :(
[Nexus One General] draugaz:
xOLED power consumtion is heavily dependent on the displayed contents.

On a typical website (black text on white background) AMOLED display would consume about twice as much energy than similar LCD. Thus producing twice as much heat. So, your battery would degrade even more.

That's why modern smartphone interfaces are dominated by black.

Details can be found here:

data.4dsystems.com.au/downloads/micro-OLED/Docs/4D_AMOLED_Presentation.pdf
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
Your a wise man draugaz, thank you for taking the time to post the info :)

I wonder, since I have an SLCD version, if I should have a pure white wallpaper to save battery / heat?
[Nexus One General] elmerendeiro:
I would like to hear feedbacks about better battery life on slcd nexus...until now no one mentioned that...probably because the difference is so inconsistent
[Nexus One General] SBERG117:
All major smartphones are battery hogs. From the Nexus to the Evo and so on. The only real solution is when theres a major step up in battery development. Just seems like its asking a duracell AAA battery to light a city. Ok its not that bad but you get what i mean.
[Nexus One General] deprecate:
^^this.

I was really hoping we were going to see the nexus one as the defacto standard for a while hardware-wise while the focus was put on maturing battery technology. Looks like 45 minutes of use before a needed charge will be acceptable moving forward. I can't wait to play my 3d games on my dualcore phone for the 11 minutes the battery supports it! Oh n1, you and me buddy...you and me.
[Nexus One General] ChongoDroid:
I'm pretty sure dual core processors are more power efficient then the current snap dragons. Sorry but my n1 gets 20 hours easy soooo yeah what are you talking bout :)
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
For LCD displays the battery usage is constant, it doesn't matter what you have on the display.
[Nexus One General] :
Yes i figured but as draugaz said the galaxy s has the pentile layout as well. i like the crispiness of hires lcd's but we'd get that on amoled as well if they stopped using pentile. its not a limitation of amoled so i would still say that the amoled screens are the best screen technology out there. as soon as its cheap enough to produce without the damn pentile matrix and longer screen life it will be on top. till then, the retina display is the best mobile screen out there lol.

also pfmiller, when the lcd screen is displaying blacks, it requires all the shutters to be activated using more power. however this is hardly noticeable in real world applications
[Nexus One General] draugaz:
It really dependends on what you are doing.

For example, my nexus battery usage screen typically shows the display using some 70-80% of the total battery usage.

I would expect, that an SLCD version in my case would have a ~50% better battery life, which is nothing to sneeze at. I mostly read emails and use www browser, which typically display black text on white screen. And in this scenario xOLED can consume abount twice as much power as LCD. Thus, I would definitely choose a slcd nexus over the amoled version.
[Nexus One General] draugaz:
Samsung is resorting to the pentile layout for a reason. I think they have problems producing sufficiently small blue led's. Aside of that there is a visible gap between (s)amoled subpixels which also does not seem to get smaller.

So, I do not expect to see samoled's sporting lcd-like "crispness" anytime soon.
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
If they arent that crisp...then what exactly is the hype/benefit ?

Seems like color accuracy is a problem.

So color accuracy + crispness in exchange for black levels ?
[Nexus One General] ChongoDroid:
I said something about dual cores being more power efficient. And I've looked at both and I'll take my amoled thanks.
[Nexus One General] draugaz:
I think the main selling point of the (s)amoled are really "punchy" colors. While it has very little to do with accurate color representation, they do look nice and a lot of people like it.

So it really comes down to your personal preferences. If you like such colors, you will accept all the deficiencies. Such as:

1. potentially significantly bigger power consumption,

2. not really impressive daylight performance even on the latest and greatest s-amoleds,

3. pentile artefacts (small text and thin lines get surrounded with color drizzle),

4. overall rather grainy look (due to separate pixels being relatively far apart),

5. unstable overall color temperature (on my amoled nexus white looks bluish at maximum intensity and tends to get rosy when dimmed),

6. still present pixel burnout effect additionally aggravated by the fact, that different colors degrade at different pace (blue much faster than green).

7. high costs. For example, nexus1 amoled display costs some $5 more than comparable LCD, which in my opinion could have been better spent on decent touch panel.
[Nexus One General] :
the color balance has to do with number 6. Companies intentionally set color bias to blue to delay the color balance shift with a consequence of an overall decrease in luminosity over time (i.e blue degrades faster, so they make it more blue so by the time the blue starts to degrade, red and green will be fine and the color balance is accurate)

adv of oled: thinner, on avg 60%-80% power use compared to LCD, high contrast ratio, response time, and viewing angle.

btw the AMOLED's that dont have a pentile matrix easily blow LCD out of the water......its just that they cost a LOT (11inch tv by sony = $2500. it looked so nice though)

btw if you want to save power, use darkfroyo theme with cm6.1 + in the browser select the invert colors box. i havent seen a screen full of white in a very long time (only when loading up angry birds for like 3 seconds)
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
The only reason phones use lcd and slcd is simply because samoled panels are not available to them. Even htc admitted to this.

Samoled / samoled2 are much better option.
[Nexus One General] allhailcardiel:
So I just purchased a nexus one on craigslist running cyanogen mod 6.0 and this thing is unbelievably slow! wondering if i should find a stock rom to put on it or what? i like all the customization that this rom offers, but when i go to scroll thru anything from apps in my launcher (not even one thing from the market yet) to scrolling down a web page it is extremely choppy. I wiped the cache the dalvik - cache. and ive done the factory reset thru recovery. any other suggestions?
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
Do a full wipe and download the Cyanogen nightly build 250.

You should be fine with that, running as new!
[Nexus One General] blas4me:
Start from scratch

I would wipe everything, wipe data, dalvik-cache, ext, and reflash the rom and set it up yourself. Cyanogen has a ton of goodies, so u definitely need the latest Setcpu, and I would update to the latest radio, and find the latest compatible kernal. Also make sure all animations is selected, and use spare parts and set window animation to fast, and transition to fast, and that should speed things up for you.
[Nexus One General] allhailcardiel:
great, i downloaded nightly build 250 and its running SMOOTH! just what I needed. thank you!
[Nexus One General] sl8125:
Now flash one of wildmonk kernel you will never put down your N1. I promise you.
[G2 and Desire Z General] indeed15:
hello so i put my t-mobile g2 down for a while, about 15 minutes, and when i came back to it all i saw was a blank screen. so i removed the battery and put it back in and when i turn it on all i get is a black screen. my phone was already perm rooted with cyanogenmod rom 6.1. i dont know what to do now. i hope someone can help me.

does any one have any input on what to do? i just got my phone like 2 weeks ago

Thank you
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sv3nt3k:
As silly as this sounds, did your battery die? Try plugging it into a power source and then turn it on. See what you get.
[G2 and Desire Z General] indeed15:
thanks for the reply. yes ive charged it too. i think somethings wrong with just the screen. i can blindly do random stuff with the phone. i can unlock and lock the phone because i can hear the sounds and ive also played music because i know where on the home screen the icon is. i just cant see anything on the phone for some reason. it was completely random. ive never dropped the phone
[G2 and Desire Z General] indeed15:
Anyone have any ideas? :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] henryr934:
Call Tmobile get a new one
[G2 and Desire Z General] indeed15:
Yeah I did call. I'm gonna go to the tmobile store and exchange it but do you think they'll know that I rooted it since it does void the warranty?
[G2 and Desire Z General] waffleman911:
Considering the screen won't turn on... No, I think you will be fine. Plus, not very many people at T-mobile even know what root is.
[G2 and Desire Z General] indeed15:
yeah true that but what about after they send the phone in? Can they still do something if they find out its rooted even after the tmobile store replaced it?
[G2 and Desire Z General] adavis159:
Does the screen turn on while the phone is booting up?
[G2 and Desire Z General] waffleman911:
Well, say they do. I'm sure they have better stuff to do then hunt and back track and find out where that G2 came from just to return it back to you and say "No, you can't have that replacement G2. Now give it back." I just wouldn't worry about it to be honest. But that's just my $0.02 :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] indeed15:
Lol yeah I went ahead and got it exchanged. Hope this g2 holds up. Thanks for replying :)

hello i am running axura 2.0.3, market can not locate tts extended service,

any one knows where and how to get it ?
[Android Apps and Games] tbaker077:
I just moved from the HTC Eris(Hero) to a Motorola Droid 2 and so far I am liking it, but i am missing Sense calendar widget. Is there anything in market or something an XDA dev created that is similar to it? Or is there some how a way to get it working on the D2 with out Sense, which I hear because of the locked boot-loader is not possible at the moment. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] HuckFinn:
Launcher Pro Plus has a built in calendar widget that looks very good and similiar to the sense calendar.
[Android Apps and Games] evilkorn:
No, it can't be ported because Sense is closed source and widgets rely too heavily on the sense framework. I use pure calendar grid for this function.
[Android Apps and Games] tbaker077:
I prefer not to use another launcher as I am enjoying stock Android right now(a difference change from sense which I really like). I will take a look at pure widget.

BTW they were able to get most of sense on the original Droid/milestone because the boot loader was not locked. Or on the G1, G2, and other HTC device that didn't natively come with sense. As long as you have access to the framework and bootloader I think you can use a sense based rom.
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
For what it's worth LauncherPro is based on the stock launcher, and is almost the same in terms of looks.. just added smoothness and functionality like said widgets, resizing, built-in notification dock, etc.. you could even put the Froyo dock background on it and it would look just like the stock Android. Just saying in case you think it will look all themed-out..
[Android Apps and Games] elburna:
Yes but you are not able to use the widgets without using the sense launcher... it's as easy as that ;)
[Android Apps and Games] tbaker077:
I will demo both and see what I like better. I just assumed that pro meant paid version.

Edit: I guess if I want the calender widget I have to go with the paid plus version. I wish I could demo the Plus before I make a decision.
[Android Apps and Games] papaskispartan:
I have tried a few calendar Widgets including the one from launcher pro and Calendar Pad, but found that Jorte is the best one for me and my wife. Many options from sizes to colors. Extremely customizeable.

Look up Jorte in the marketplace, plus it's free :)
[Android Apps and Games] carhigh:
I use jorte. I think youll like it, http://androinica.com/2010/04/16/jorte-is-a-promising-android-calendar-replacement-app-reviews/

I will have to check out EE, but Im not ready to root yet LOL
[Epic 4G General] thedevilslettucemd:
I believe you have to make a modification to build.prop. Not sure if it requires a built-in kernel mod though :/.
[Epic 4G General] dragonisinogard:
On froyo its does its on some apps
[Epic 4G General] mictek:
Use root explorer and open build.prop as a text. Its in the system folder.

Change

windowsmgr.support_rotation_270=false

to

windowsmgr.support_rotation_270=true

Restart and your done.
[Epic 4G General] Elixis:
....the false to true thing didnt work. please elaborate.
[Epic 4G General] mikeschevelle:
do I have to be rooted to use root exp?
[Epic 4G General] Elixis:
yes, you do my friend.
[Epic 4G General] mictek:
Try deleting the build.prop.bak file it creates after you modify the build.prop file. See if that works. Oh yeah and click save and exit after you mod the file.

Hi Guys

Could you please tell me, which version of Android is the best version for install?

so, I'm confused :confused:

I installed neopeek version last week, but it has many bugs :(

such as :

Camera

buttons

and ....

Regards,

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] viper.:
Neopeek has a several different builds of android ... http://www.neopeek.com/en/forum/Sony-Xperia-X1

Camera and hardware keys are common problems and they will be solved sooner or later. Just be patient.

And it all depends which kernel do you use ,just try different kernels and you will see that there are some differences ,but camera won't work because it is one of major problems in porting the android .

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=668434

If you want to change the kernel just replace the zImage and Modules with new files.

Hi i deodexed my phone 2 weeks back and ever since then my market seems to just randomly stock working every morning. to get it working again, i have to go to CWM, install the deodex file from this forum, reinstall my theme, and reinstall my kernal(stupid-fast). the only fix i can think of is undoing the deodex. any tips??

I would try wiping and reinstalling whatever rom you are using.
