You can jailbreak a iPhone and get many of the things you just mentioned (widgets, ad blocking, torrent clients, over clocking, hotspot).
[EVO 4G General] mikeyfg:
Usually a video call over 3g shuts them up... But if not i go to www.mobilespeedtest.com and show them how my 3g is 2-3 times faster than theyre's and 4g is 10 times faster, Custom launchers (launcherpro), ADW, Netfront, Soundhound finds songs in 2-3 seconds theyre app takes 20-30 seconds, change my camera setting, widgets there are many things the iPhone cannot do and the EVO or android period can do but alot of them like smaller phones so EVO is out or just the name "i have an iPhone"... I have an iPhone and and EVO i perfer my EVO no question but the iPhone is nice very smooth but boring i get bored easily with my EVO im flashing a new ROM everyday if i find a nice one ill stay for a few days i dont use my iPhone anymore its a 3GS dosent even have a charge been dead for months
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
I know that, but of course I didn't tell them that. ;)But you still can't justify the 5gb cap, dead zone, and having to use my SPRINT EVO ANDROID PHONE hotspot just to make the iphone functional in the break room. :cool:
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
AT&T's 3G network is 80% HSPA+ meaning that you can get 3-5 Mbps on the iPhone 4 like you can here where I live. Video calling over 3G? You can: 1) Jailbreak and use Facetime over 3G, or 2) Use Fring, Tango, or Yahoo video chat over 3G without jail breaking.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I know. I just find it funny how unknowledgeable (or forgetful :rolleyes:) Android users are when arguing against the iPhone. And again, those are AT&T issues. You can't tell that to all iPhone users world wide or when Verizon finally lands the iPhone in 2011.

Lol my friends always asks me to "share" my connection with them everytime we hang out coz here in the bay area ,specially downtown san francisco, data from att is kinda useless.
[EVO 4G General] Shauli20:
Is that true, that a jailbroken iphone supports widgets? I mean, hotspot you can get via PDAnet which is not allowed on non jailbroken iphones. But widgets is more in the core of the ROM I thought?

Either way, I show my friends the options we have as far as keyboards go (they are always blown away by keyboards like Swype and SwiftKey), voice control (apps like vlingo and Google's Voice Actions which kick iphone voice commands) and interactive live wallpaper (like the aquarium live wallpaper where you can actually feed the fish!). Then they're sold!

What about the kick stand and HDMI out? Not to mention, anytime I get into a Android vs. iPhone battle, I always mention I can swap out my batteries and memory cards. I tell them my bill is cheaper, my service is better, and I have a plethora of choice of Android phones with different features on different carriers as opposed to one iPhone on one ****ty carrier. I have 4G, I have a real flash player that lets me view every last detail of any web page, I show them Hulu & Swype, I show the the Youtube HQ app that now lets you read comments while watching the video (try that on an iPhone), and I show them the Verizon NFL app.

Oh, and I've also had to share my 3G with iPhoners who didn't have service on several occasions.

By this time, I usually have them either convinced, or reeling in self-defense being fanboys. Either way, I win. :)
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Yes you can do widgets. Most of them are done on the lockscreen but some allow you to swipe around different screens. There are also alternative keyboards for jail broken iPhones.
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
Children, children we dont need another iPhone vs EVO thread. I was was sharing my experience how deep in the night, in a dark and smoky break room, the EVO pwned two iPhones side by side. As i mentioned, we all prettymuch had the same popular apps, but Specs, apps and data speeds dont mean nothing when your network is AWOL. The woman plans to stay with att, she understands a cell phone is a cell phone, your gonna have dead zones, there are a few spots in town where sprint is lousy and att is strong. The man was more impressed with the hotspot and the whole Android experience, and was dissatisfied with att coverage all together. The iPhone and EVO debate can go on forever, well at least a thread I started got huge, so whatever.
[EVO 4G General] smarmytime:
Do the alt keyboards integrate, or do you have to cut and paste with them? That was one of my big problems with the iphone - I could use a different keyboard, but it wouldn't come up in every app that used a keyboard, and I had to cut and paste. Same with dictation apps, like dragon dictation...much better integration in android. And the ability to customize little things like the keyboard, without jailbreaking or getting root, was a selling point to me (even though my iphone is jailbroken, and my evo is rooted - I am a hacker, after all).

I understand that the jailbreak for 4.2.1 has to be redone every time the iphone is booted, and it has to be tethered to do so? Fun.

BTW - those speeds you're getting on your iphone.. I have friends in brooklyn who have iphones, and they aren't getting anywhere near the speeds you're claiming. Any idea why?
[EVO 4G General] smarmytime:
Also, iPhones still don't do flash, which would be a problem for me - I sometimes do homework through my schools web portal, which is in flash, on my phone. Can't do that with an iphone.

iphone had angry birds first, although they have to pay for it
[EVO 4G General] potna:
my take on the iphone vs what ever:

most people are idiots, i dont like idiots. i dont like what idiots do. right now iphone is winning the smart phone war in terms of handsets currently in the market. i hate that every iphone carrying idiot thinks they are part of some elite club. since they are "winners" in life that it just makes since to them to get a phone that describes them as elite. this is what i hate the most about iphone. but i see that in other camps as well.

if all the people on the android side of this cold war got what they wanted they would have a bunch of idiots from iphone crossover and start using android. problem with that is that we haven't fixed the real issue, the real issue is that most people are idiots and you cant fix that. android users or i phone users it doesn't matter both sides have clueless idiots, even if they get a clue they are still going to be idiots.

one thing i like about icrap is that they actually make for good competition and innovation in the smart phone market. they have raised the bar for quality, maybe not innovation though. also they have contributed to the idea of everyone getting a smart phone. kinda like when phones had camera, we all wanted that when it first came out.

What I find funny is every response is "the iPhone can do that if jailbroken" when a lot of the features can be done without rooting an Android phone.

[EVO 4G General] BrianDigital:
yeah I dont even bother with iphone people anymore when they try to compare things. Fact is I have used both(or all three winmo6.1) so i have valid opinions where as iphone people I know only have used a iphone so to me they cannot give me a valid opinion why my phone sucks so bad in their words cause they have not lived with another phone.

It has apps, and thats it so the best thing about an iphone is the software you put on from other developers
[EVO 4G General] bender1077:
I like the iPhone. I've never purchased one, but I don't see how Android users can bash it so much. A lot of my friends have them and they are cool devices. Fanboyism sucks on both sides of the fence people. Let's be classy EVO users! When Android matches (and hopefully surpasses) iOS in all things media related, ie. photos, video, etc we can be asshats about how Android is king!

P.S. iPhone users secretly love the EVO screen size. They all say its too big, but wait til an iPhone has a 4inch screen and they think its the cats pajamas.
[EVO 4G General] jlayton15:
I have used an iPhone for awhile and then had the choice of the iPhone 4 or the HTC aria and I didnt know anything about android besides it was starting to compete with apple at the time and I got the aria and the first day I saw a fraction of all the features an android could do and it already passed iPhones. I had it about 2 weeks and no problems then heard about rooting and wondered what it was and blah blah blah then finally got the guts to try it because I was scared from hearing you could brick it and then I did it and everything was smooth sailing everything was perfect I know a million times more now about this little phone that is only half as good as the higher end androids and this one totally beats iPhone I would choose an android in a heart beat over iPhone and make fun of my friends with it
[EVO 4G General] charlie hustle:
my first show off of my phone is always the widgets, especially calendars, and the weather widgets. And if that dont work, ill show them swype and one of my games and that usually does it. And i save the browser for last.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
M

I have both and if given the choice of only one and both had to be stock, I'd choose the iPhone 4. Though this preference will probably change with the Nexus S.
[EVO 4G General] Shauli20:
I must say, I do admire Apple for making very solid products. They have quality, polish and the ability to make any iphone or Mac holder feel like they belong to some exclusive elite club.

But at the same time I do prefer Android because of its openness. It has an effect in terms of more choices on the user's end, like many browsers, keyboards, wallpapers and more to choose from. And the OS itself has many features and functions which put it ahead.

But I also on principle don't want to support Apple and their proprietary system. From their *****ing with Adobe, to the painful approval process there is for developers who want to sell apps which compete with Apple's own software, like Opera Mini and Skyfire, to name just a few.

And at the end of the day, regardless of which OS is better, I'm not looking anywhere else. I could not be happier with my EVO!

Hi all,

Just wondering if this is normal or if I need to check something:

When I use the Google navigation while the mini pro (on 2.1) is connected via BT to my car radio and I listen to music also from the mini via BT, the charger I'm using in my car is not able to charge the mini. After app. 30 min I can clearly see that the battery is getting low instead of getting charged. Am I expecting to much from my mini or do i need to check something here?

i've had a similar situation with my gf's x10 while being charged and wifi tethering the battery level would drop instead of rise. in order to stop this i forced the cpu to stay at 245mhz and it fixed this issue. i'm sure you could do the same with the mini. you would have to be rooted and get one of the many apps that let you control your cpu clock speed.

Hi there, please accept my apologies if this topic has been posted (many times) before, but I am having trouble wading through the excellently huge amount of info on XDA-Dev, and am finding myself more confused than informed by the time I have gone through one or two threads Roms.

So, may I ask some very simple questions about what is a Rom, what it does, what information will be specifically interesting for me, what 'Flashing' does, a simple step-by-step ABC of how to 'upgrade' my HTC HD2 with a new ROM to make it work better, and what you may need from me in order to be able to focus my query in the right direction.

Again, apologies if this is a much hacked subject, as I'm certain on such a forum, with the very knowledgable and creative developers it has, you have been approach more than once on this very subject.

Hi,

I have been looking quite some time for the rock solid all in one players for Android, like Coreplayer or VLC player.

As most of us know those are still being developed.

The progress on the Coreplayer for Android can be easily followed here.

Seems by the end of 2010 or beginning of 2011, there may be something we can play with (by the development time, I tend to bet on the beginning of 2011).

VLC, the favourite all in one, state of the art plugin wizard, playing all (nearly) media content on our PC/Mac computers.

It seems that this autumn the development of VLC player for Android has started. The developers send some signals that they already work on it, but it takes a lot of time (as we all know).

IPhone/iPad users already enjoy their media content through VLC(for ios4).

Best regards!

Hi, i am using p3452 for 1 year. nowadays when its battery reduces to %5 or %6 it stops to charge. it means when phone is turned off it is charging mostly 2-3 min. then it doesnt charge. and sometimes when i open the phone,the icon which is on the screen tells us it is charging but orange led doesnt light. how can i do for that?
[Touch GSM General] captainstu72:
have you tried another battery, or another charger?
[Touch GSM General] erencaner:
i tried another charger ,still same but i didnt try with another battery because i dont have. does the phone crash?
[Touch GSM General] captainstu72:
Not sure I understand the phone crash part? The battery could be dead though, it is possible

Just trying to get an accurate idea of what happens:

When using your phone, it turns off at about 5%/6%, so you charge, however, the charge only lasts 2-3minutes and does not provide a full charge? At which point the operating system states it is still charging, however, the phone no longer lights up orange.

Do you get a longer charge when charging via usb or mains?

When it stops showing orange, does it go green/red or anything?
[Touch GSM General] ahsiang888:
absolutely is the battery. buy a new battery!
[Touch GSM General] erencaner:
Hi again, after i had opened a topic here, i took it to service. They tried another battery, result was still same. After 3-4min it stops to charge.They told me that the board should change
[Touch GSM General] deba1994:
for me it happens...when charging via usb connected to comp....it shows orange till 2% then orange goes...as soon as i remove from charge the phone switches off :(

if charge from wall socket...it goes green that is full charged in around 10 minutes....after i switch on the phone....its switched off in 5 mins....this is the 2nd new battery i am using :(

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zoubidou:
i just did an upgrade thorugh KIES for XEF (french national, not locked)

I got pda: xwjpa

phone: i9000xxjpp

csc: i9000xefjp3

the last time I have used doc's v8 and I had a really bad phone emission pb. everybody whom i called on older phones (not 3G) had a lowsy reception.

that was fixed after the a.m. upgrade.

thus it would be good if any installs of new roms, the phone and csc could be preserved. Obviously something in either of those 2 is particular to the corresponding country/operator.

It would even be great if odin could make a backup from the former installation, thus in case of, it can be reinstalled, at least partially, or a mixe up of Code, phone and CSC.

I am now running xwjpa with the YA-OK kernel (latest version with the corruption fix) and ext4/ext2 advanced lagfix without binds and it works beautifully without any problems and battery lasts. i did not install SetCPU or anything else because it could also cause problems.

by the way.

for the french.

If you want to do KIES upgrade and installation, do the following:

install KIES the latest version, or update it.

remove all LAGFIXES

flash I9000XXJF3 using PIT 512 (this is for the french version only XEF).

the only thing I don't know is if you have to reflash it with or without RE-PARTITIONING.

I did just repartion with the PIT loaded and nothing else. waited for 10 minutes. Then removed the battery for another 15 minutes, and the restarted it in download mode.

Don't be scared you phone is not bricked even if it remains black for a while.

don't care if your SIM is not recognised properly, and you can't enter the code.

start KIES, connect your phone, and you will receive your update without any problems and everything work fine afterward.

The other thing now is the themes.

Before I was using V2 DENA, and i loved it. but it requires a lot of changes in the java files in the framework. I am a little scared that this f...... up my phone again. so i leave it alone for the moment.

Know i have a bench Quadrant of 21xx and the phone os fluent and smooth.
