If I were you, I would...wait.

The Nexus S is suppose to launch this Christmas season and if it follows the line of the Nexus One, it will be a true developer's phone.

Although I have the G2, out of your two choices I would pick the Mytouch4G if you don't need a keyboard. More Ram, slightly larger screen, and FFC seems pretty good to me. FFC may not be really useful now but lets say you get the Mytouch4G and sell it a 1 to 2 years from now. With more and more phones being released with FFCs, the Mytouch4G you are trying to sell looks more appealing since it has a FFC. It helps future proof your investment.

I like the G2 but my family wanted to upgrade ASAP or otherwise I would have gotten the MyTouch. I don't use the hardware keyboard because I can type insanely faster using Swiftkey. The G2 will get the Gingerbread OTA faster but since your on this forum you know that doesn't really apply to us since a dev here will port the ROM over to whatever higher-end device we purchase.

Hope that helps :D
[General Topics] Master™:
Yeah, I pretty much thought the same. But a few people said some things like "The MT4G looks like ****" And "Go with the G2, it is way better"

And thats why I was going to go with the G2... But then again, they didn't really give me a reason why the G2 was better :rolleyes:
[General Topics] Akulamenuri:
I think people see that its not Stock Android or Sense and immediately stray away from it. Most of the complaints about how the software looks can be fixed with either ADW Launcher or LauncherPro; all of the complaints can be remedied by flashing a different ROM entirely (We can't make the "Genius" button go away unfortunately :p)

The main plus about the G2 is that it has a physical keyboard which means more screen real estate while typing, the ability to type by feel without looking down at the keyboard, being able to map physical keys to play video game emulators, and makes typing command lines via Terminal Emulator easier. Having a physical keyboard has some perks but to the average consumer it doesn't offer much unless you feel you MUST have a physical keyboard.

Speaking of the keyboard I don't think the issue with the Z-Hinge is because of a bad batch but because of a design flaw. The Z-Hinge allows the phone to be thin while closed while still providing a raised physical keyboard; without the hinge we either have a flat keyboard similar to the Epic 4G or when the phone is closed its about 3mm thicker. The con of the design is that it doesn't lock into place therefore the screen can drop due to gravity. If you type upside down (silly isn't it) the screen will drop on your thumbs, 99.9% of the time this isn't an issue at all. Something that is an issue is the light sensor. The backlight to the keyboard is suppose to turn on when our surroundings are darker, the G2 is horrible at it. I can be in complete darkness and sometimes the keyboard is on and sometimes it off, this is another reason why I just use the virtual keyboard.
[General Topics] Master™:
I hear what you are saying about the G2's keyboard lol, but I just don't use one.

Ps, there really only was a bad batch. Look everywhere, not all the G2's have that issue lol.

But I just don't know. I like the look of the G2, but I like the hardware of the MT4G
[General Topics] Akulamenuri:
I thought it was more of an issue of longevity. When I first purchased my G2 it didn't have a hinge problem at all but overtime it did. The early adopters were the people complaining because they had their phones long enough to notice the difference in the closing mechanism. That is what I think anyway :D. I also think that the G2 looks better than the MyTouch. G2 has more of a polished professional appeal while the MyTouch looks more childish.

I still think you should play the waiting game for like one more month.
[General Topics] Product F(RED):
The build quality on the G2 feels much better. I have an Evo and don't really care about the front-facing camera, so you don't really need to worry about that too much.

The MT4G runs Espresso, which is kind of like a slimmed-down Sense interface (well, it is Sense actually). The nice thing is if you like the Sense apps but hate the Sense launcher, you can just install LauncherPro and you'll still have the apps but an AOSP launcher. It contains a better camera app, better dialer, pretty much better everything. The screen on this thing looks bigger than it actually is. The only thing I don't like about it is the bubbles it puts around icons, but like I said, you can just use LauncherPro for that.

The G2 is basically a Desire-Z without Sense UI. In other words it's plain vanilla Android. It feels more metal-y than the MT4G and the screen is a tiny bit, but not noticeably smaller. The keyboard is really nice and, as you said, the hinge is no longer an issue.

Personally, if they were offering the G2 with Sense (aka the Desire-Z), I'd take that over the MT4G, but that's my personally preference. I like Sense UI because it adds a lot of polish and functionality to Android. And if you don't like it, you can always flash CyanogenMod's firmware and get vanilla Android. It's harder to go get Sense running on an AOSP device.

[General Topics] Master™:
I don't care about looks.. It is only going to be a dev phone lol.

And thanks for everyones views! I think I am going to go with the MT4G due to the higher specs.
[Galaxy Tab General] matmbl:
Hi All,

just got myself a galaxy tab from Tesco's in the UK. Only popped out for a new paper and came home ~£470 poorer. Just need to break the news to my darling wife. Massively impressed with the tab, I do a lot of email & browsing on my htc desire so moving to a screen with 3 x the real estate is fantastic. The samsung apps also look pretty good (although haven't spent time playing).

Anyway, I'd stop rambling and ask the question.

Has anyone patched the Samsung equivalent of Email.apk yet to ignore the exchanges policies pushed down from the server? I want to side step the crazy password policies my company enforce (and replace with a pattern lock like on my desire)? Would love to install (as soon as I've read up on the rooting process!)

Please lets not get into a discussion of the rights and wrongs of doing this, we're not bill-jobsian WP7-iOS so I'd rather stick to technicalities rather than moralities ;-)

Many thanks

Matt
[Galaxy Tab General] Adrianbucher:
I also wait for the fix since a few days. But it seems that there are not so many affected users out there which have an Exchange 2010 SP1 in use.

I wrote already a mail to Samsung. I asked if they know the problem and are working on a solution. The answer was short: "we don't give support for Exchange"... Maybe they haven't understood the problem... I hope...

I already plan to hack it myself... Currently I use a 3rd party tool for Exchange Data... But it sucks that something like this is necessary. IMHO
[Galaxy Tab General] saintxseiya:
It has nothing to do with the passwords, it is an EAS/Provision Problem for Android which is fixed in 2.2.1 and the funny thing is that my Galaxy S is working fine with the same Exchange, but the Tab is not, as i heard Sprint fixed that somehow.
[Galaxy Tab General] sanderh:
I m really hoping for a solution too.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shaolin85:
Hello,

I'm using mdeejay's Desire FroYo Sense Clean v. 2.4 build.

the issue i'm having is that when i'm connected to Droid Explorer i can't access the system folder.

i can see it. but when i try to explore it i only can see the "build.prob" file and the "lost+found"folder inside of it.

i didn't have this issue of the evo rom or nesux1 rom. only in desire roms.

i have read that desire roms in original desire phones are nand protected. and the system folder can be accessed only in recovery mode (which we don't have) but i've been searching for any workaround with no luck.

please any help is highly appreciated.

thanks.

Asphalt 5 is not showing up for me in the Samsung market? I was under the impression that you would be able to download the full game for free?

But when reading the "instructions" it says that it may vary depending on operator, meh!

Would it be possible for someone to share the .apk?

Thaaanks :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolusCado:
I had not heard that, but if it is indeed the case I would like to get my hands on it as well.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kupuguy:
Yes, I noticed the same thing. I'd be interested to know whether anyone in the UK actually has Asphalt 5 in their Samsung Apps and if so which operator they are using. FWIW, I'm using Talkmobile (which shows 2 apps in Samsung Apps) and I also tried my Virgin SIM (which only showed 1 app).

Of course if I actually wanted the game it's only £3 from Gameloft, but I'm not convinced that I want it that much.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GANJDROID:

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] risq:
My tab from CPW had both Asphalt 5 and N.O.V.A pre-loaded, but in my haste I forgot to back them up before upgrading to the JK5 firmware via Odin. I now don't have them so I'm a little annoyed at myself!

Do you think If I email Gameloft my serial number etc that they will send me the .apk's as the product I purchased came with them or am I out of luck?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ardf69:
You can download Asphalt 5 via gameloft application from samsung market.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] al234:
There is no gameloft application in my samsung market? It's not available in the Samsung games either and the one on the android market is not made for the tab!

[Android Apps and Games] SHADOW-XIII:
There's just first release of OpenTTD for Android.

I am not an author

, just wanted to inform anyone interested.

OTTD is Open Source port of 1995 game: Transport Tycoon (Deluxe) with some more or less modifications and support for addons (*.grf files).

There was just first release to Market.

Android port based on libDSL. Source code available

Please mind that it is first release, therefore:

- it might be full of bugs or possible incompatibilities. Don't expect all working perfect. It is more like 'test' version to see if it can be done and how playable (or not) it will be

- game was not designed for small screens with high resolutions (Strongly encourage to install this Big GUI addon from configuration menu when you start game)

- it is not official openttd.org release therefore it is not supported, any issues send to the market release author (or post here, I will try to help you)

- the game will download 20MB of additional files to the card/internal memory, you can download it manually from here (the latest *data archive, possibly *lang if you want, *lowmem file for less memory usage but no in-game sounds/music) and this file, install/extract all files to /sdcard/app-data/org.openttd.sdl

(2.2 MB + 20 MB)

Market Link and APK Link
[Android Apps and Games] jgittins:
I will definitely give this a go. I was really into Transport Tycoon in the 90s.
[Android Apps and Games] Technomancer:
Thanks for the app! I love OpenTTD!

Is it possible to use original TTD tiles like with OpenTTD? I have the original game ;-)

Also, it looks kind of weird on Galaxy Tab. I think this is because of scaling. Galaxy Tab has 1024x600 resolution and I think your OpenTTD always runs in 800x480.
[Android Apps and Games] 5oo:
Won't install from market apk :(

I tried to extract files and can't find installation app..
[Android Apps and Games] 5oo:
how to install OpenTTD pls??? dosnt work when i exctract data on SD card
[Android Apps and Games] SHADOW-XIII:
in menu go to Options, you can change your resolution setting there, not sure if you can get there something more than 860x480 in this build (that's max on my Nexus One), if not let me know I will pass it to the author but PC build can go any resolutions

if you had non-market build of OpenTTD then market one will fail, uninstall before trying market one.

and the best if you let it to download necessary files automatically, but if you cannot then get openttd-data-4.zip files from http://sourceforge.net/projects/libsdl-android/files_beta/OpenTTD/ (remember not to choose in start settings any additional downloads) and extract files to /sdcard/app-data/org.openttd.sdl, also remember to get libsdl-DownloadFinished-0.flag file before starting and put it in same directory

i have all in this /sdcard/openttd and what next??? dont know how to install that or what to do,,,

thank you for your help!!!
[Android Apps and Games] SHADOW-XIII:
you install APK + extract the files I gave and that's it - when you start the game you will be able to configure settings and game will start
[Android Apps and Games] orb3000:
Thanks for sharing this info!
[Android Apps and Games] 5oo:
I did extract files there wasn't any apk and if i am trying to install from market it won't work ;(

i downloaded openttd-data-4.zip but there is no apk and i tried download game from here http://www.katzforums.com/showthread.php?t=3023923&page=4 but wont install as well!?
[Android Apps and Games] SHADOW-XIII:
OK, let's review installation step by step:

This installation steps is only for people who are not really able to download 20MB with their phones.

1) Install game from either here or the Market

2) Don't start the game yet (or it will try download automatically using your network)

3) Get this file and extract it to your SD card to /app-data/org.openttd.sdl/ (create folders when needed)

4) Get this file and save inside your SD card to /app-data/org.openttd.sdl/ (directories should be there if you follow from the beginning)

5) Now you can Start game, when you run it you will see a button to configure game settings with SDL background, choose to configure it but do not download anything extra (like MIDI support/Localization files, you can do it later). If you choose not to configure, then it will start after few seconds (can press SDL background in some cases)

6) Finished

If your phone is low on ram memory (less than 200MB) then use this file when downloading in step 3.
[Android Apps and Games] 5oo:
I downloaded apk and app is not installed so actually I can't install this game and I don't know why? It can be because of SD card ?

[Streak 5 Android Development] cameronmfjay:
So I've been hearing how people are starting to have problems with the power button getting messed up due to it constantly being pressed to wake/sleep the phone.

In order for you to use the camera button to wake the phone you must set all these permissions and I don't know how to do that haha. BUT I did find out how to use the focus button (soft press the camera button) to wake up the phone.

I'm on Stephen's Froyo 1.3 if that matters.

*I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYONE WHO SOMEHOW MESSES UP AND BRICKS/BLOWS UP THEIR PHONE*

All I did was add»

key 59 FOCUS WAKE_DROPPED

«to the 8k_handset.kl, qwerty.kl, and surf_keypad.kl in system/usr/keylayout using root explorer. (must reboot for changes to take effect)

I'm not sure if they all need it or not but its working fine for me.

[Streak 5 Android Development] ronj1986:
Try No Lock App

I have no idea why, but my phone already wakes with either power, or camera button. I do have the "NO Lock" app installed, so I never see the lock screen. Maybe that has something to do with it.
[Streak 5 Android Development] bitziz:
if you have no lock installed, your phone will wake up with any of the buttons being pressed (power, camera and the two volumn buttons).

Hi, im new to the forum! I have owned a DHD for a couple of weeks now and this morning i have rooted the device using this very helpful site. I have only rooted atm as im not too fussed about custom ROMS.

My reasons for rooting the devise was so that i could remove pre-installed apps and so i could use root only apps.

My first question is how do i remove the pre installed apps, does it require an app to do so?

Secondly what are everyones favorite root only apps that they are using and what else is out there?

Thanks everyone, Craig

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Danifamous:
my fav rooted apps

SetCPU-change clockspeeds of the CPU and save power

RootExplorer - File explorer allowing access to system files

AdFree - get rid of those pesky ads

Autokiller Memory - Tweak the internal app killer.

RomManager - Download roms, flash a recovery image...pretty useless atm as the DHD isn't supported, and can only flash new roms/mods from sdcard.

MarketAutoupdater - Brilliant new tool, toggles Auto-update on all market apps

FontChanger - Because DroidSans isn't sexy anymore.

CacheMate - Clears cache, can be set to clean on reboot etc.

TitaniumBackup - backup and restores apps when changing roms

JuiceDefender - Saves battery by turning off power-draining settings such as wifi when not in use, or during certain times.

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mehmehmen:
From what I gather your phone warranty is void if you have s-off when u return the handset for inspection. The secret there would be to flash your phone to base stock Rom and then also to flash the stock bootloader (thereby locking security back up to s-on) if you do this all before you go bk to the vendor or whoever it should not flag as out of warranty... although on this matter I'm not 100% sure this is true...
