[Galaxy S I9000 General] dvance:
Not so much hit and miss anymore I think. Just got Froyo on my handset. It seems the Crypto problem was solved a couple of hours ago. Not a hitch while I updated, took a while to download the binaries though. So far all I can say is that I like Froyo better than Eclair. However, getting the bug with the Contacts quick browse alphabet on the side not displaying letters I have contacts with :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mkzak78:
Finally the error have been fixed...

I have updated my mobile to Froyo, but, it seems my phone become more lagging than in Eclair... One time my phone hang when I want to add a widget in my phone. It is weird....At that time I need to switch off and on the phone again which take quite a long time...

The interface on Froyo is a lot better than eclairs...It seems the GPS is more accurate than in Eclair....

Any comment on the lagging of the Froyo on Three or anybody get the phone hang?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] marvinhemstock:
hi have you tried a factory reset.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gadget1974:
Finally on froyo, despite samsung reassuring me that it's not available on three yet.

Factory reset is the way to go, smooth as silk

[Epic 4G General] djkris808:
ok so i have a brand new samsung epic that i just updated to 2.2.1 Froyo, then I used a one click root to root my phone................ so now what? what does rooted & 2.2.1 allow me todo someone please help me? whats the point of superuser? how do i get apps in there? i also read alot of forums about a viper room that scores 2000 something on the quadrant test, how do i get the viper rom on my phone? Any knowledge would be greatly appreciated!!!

The biggest thing that i really want is this clockwork mod i think thats what it is called, it makes your home screen look like the Evo with the big clock & weather feature, id really like to get that.

thanks for answering my question appreciate it
[Epic 4G General] sniperkill:
Look, if you don't know what root is, or does, then you shouldn't have rooted your phone until you completly understand the process and what its meant for... and its not Viper room... its VIPERrom! Use the search button!!!

And quadrant scores mean NOTHING!!! Its been proven to be a faulty system designed for the Evo, noob.... You should really go over to the General forum, cuz if you keep askin questions like above, your gonna get stomped on by the community here... FYI..

Anyone else think that the Nexus S is kind of a disappointment?

There's nothing revolutionary or really exciting about it. It's specs sound like it's just another Galaxy S device. No dual core, no HSDPA+, nada.

Now, to be clear, I'm talking just about the device itself. Not Gingerbread. Gingerbread looks hot. Curious to hear what you folks think about the device.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
No sd card slot but has a 16 gig storage. I guessing Google corrected the available memory issue with 2. 3

I think it to early to draw up any conclusions with what we have on hand.
[G2 and Desire Z General] smutek:
It's a Samsung which for me, after my experience with the Vibrant, equals 'never again'.

If anything I do hope that the Nexus S, by extension, will provide some much needed relief to those who are sticking it out with their Vibrants, etc.

Just my take, I'm not a phone buff or geek, I just want my device to work properly, which is why I switched to the G2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] luis86dr:
I've had a vibrant. Felt too cheap to me. Sad part it wasn't cheap. Paid 500 for it. The lack of support and gps issue is what turned me away. It was a nice phone. Just not my style. As I'm sure just by looking at the nexsus s, they will have the same issues. But I could be wrong. Maybe google will put a flame under samsungs butt and make them correct their errors in a fast manner.

[G2/HTC Vision]
[G2 and Desire Z General] r3s-rt:
That simple little statement is what made me turn my head. I love Google, and I think them working to make a phone with a company means it will be a good phone. I believe Samsung will get more respect from this phone, but Samsung's plastic has always stood out and this phone looks like it has just as much as any other Samsung phone. It has decent specs, nothing groundbreaking by any means, but just as nice as any other smart phone out now.

Remind me, wasn't the N1 the first phone to have a 1GHz processor? At least one of the first? I figured Google's second phone would be VERY top of the line instead of average.
[G2 and Desire Z General] unremarked:
Yeeeep. It was the very first. Big reason I dumped my Droid for the Nexus One way back when. That and I didn't like Verizon's service.

That's part of the reason I was so disappointed with the specs on the Nexus S. Nothing revolutionary again. Just another Galaxy S.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KeithRVA:
If I were holding out for the Nexus S, then yes, I would be disappointed. But I wasn't since I'm still in love with my G2. Can't believe Google would let this thing go to T-Mobile USA with those specs. Not dual core, no HSPA+, less ram than the MyTouch, less screen than the HD7, no hdmi out, not even a kickstand? Can a brother get a kickstand? And this is supposed to be the flagship Android phone? Ha, it won't even be the best phone at T-Mobile.

[G2 and Desire Z General] thedarkpassenger:
just in time for a Nexus 2 ...

new **** happens. there's money to be made beforehand.
[G2 and Desire Z General] adil06944:
Sooo disappointed

First of all, I love my N1 and sorry for the long post but i have to vent.

I bought a Nexus One in February when it came for T-mobile only and then gave it away to my brother in law who had T-Mobile when the AT&T N1 came out and bought that. My contract with AT&T has been up for a couple of months now and i was really hoping for a device (from google) that would be better than the N1 (for future proofing for at least 6 months).

Well this device is better than the N1 but not enough to ditch the N1 and get this. Here are the reasons:

Biggest disappointment: Only a 5 MP camera still? Come on Google? The EVO has an 8MP camera and has been out for months. I know phone cameras really aren't meant to replace traditional digital cameras but my sisters EVO takes pictures that are great (in the correct light) and if i had that i wouldn't even buy a new digital camera.

Second biggest disappointment: Not CDMA. I want to switch to sprint or verizon. If Google/ Samsung comes out with a CDMA version i might overlook the other disappointments and ditch the N1.

Now other reasons why Nexus S is not really that much better than the N1 to warrant another $529.

Processor: I don't know too much about the speed difference in the processors but i'm assuming they will roughly perform the same. However, i think within next couple of months new Android / Non-Android phones will come out with better processors and this will be outdated. I must add though, i haven't really seen any lag on the 1 ghz.

Video: I'm guessing the Nexus S will record 720p video, but so does my N1 (with cyanogen) and so does the EVO and many many other devices. 1080 would have been the next step and another reason i might have upgraded. Not on my top priority list though.

I don't really care that much about that NFC thing. I am curious to try it, but not enough to shell out $529 (i don't want contracts). Once more vendors support this it will become more important but not at this point.

Nexus S will probably be better for 3D gaming as the GPU on N1 supposedly sucks. I'm assuming the gingerbread advantage for 3d gaming will also be applicable to N1 but Nexus S will probably have a better GPU. I don't care about this too much because i don't play much 3d games on phones anyway but other people might weigh this more.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Wunako:
Yes to me its a Flopfor the the simple fact its just a google version of Galaxy S. BUT then again, after my experiance with my behold II, i will NEVER buy a samsung phone again, thats just me though... Besides my G2 is great been a while since i had a phone i was happy with.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jigga0o7:
Agreed. I'll be sticking with my overclocked G2 until we see 1.5ghz Dual Core chips with all of the bells and whistles these companies are cooking up.

It only disappears when ever Active Sync is syncing, though the contact is still listed, just disappears from the tab.

Anyone have any ideas?

the info that tells sense it is a favorite (and Facebook links) is held in the notes field, so you could try setting it as fav, then edit the contact, scroll down to more (brings up the winmo contact screen) and copy out all the code,

example

<HTCData><!-- Please do not modify -->

<Favorite>actionid:CallMobile</Favorite>

<Facebook>id:51xxxx112/friendof:xxxx91731</Facebook>

</HTCData>

and manually put it in the notes field of your contact on the pc.if it solves it, it could be that your sync settings have been altered to update only from pc to phone, not both directions.

My droid was rooted, was trying to load the epic rom through boot strapper. Then it got stuck in a boot loop tried to factory hard reset and that didn't work. Any ideas or do i have a brick?
[Droid 2 General] HerroMoto:
You need to do an sbf recovery. The epic roms don't work because they are old firmware. Do a sbf restore with the 2.3.2 sbf and then a factory reset.
[Optimus 7 General] kapanak:
Alright, so most of you reading this post right now either have an Optimus 7 or plan to get one (perhaps). With the exception of the early hard button problems I had with this phone (which was mostly fixed after two exchanges), I like everything else about it. The softwares that LG released preloaded on the phone, as well as the ones on the LG Store are genuinely useful.

However, since the early rumours and in most reviews, a Voice-to-Text feature was promised for November. Now, I know Bing search has that little voice button beside it (that I have not noticed in other WinPhones), and we have other augmented reality apps, but where is this rumoured Dictation feature that was spoken about? I want to send a text message using nothing but my mouth (that sounds wrong).

I have owned a Nexus One for the past eight months, and now that phone has been given to my brother. I really don't miss much, except for multitasking and some widgets, but the Voice-to-Text feature is annoying. WP7 has Voice Commands, some of which are only limited to US and UK (WTF Microsoft? Canada gets the backend all the time? Same with Zune...), but LG promised me Voice-to-Text, and I want it :D

I might be missing something or misunderstood what this feature meant, and if someone knows where to get this, or how it will work, then by all means, please let me know.

Share your thoughts below...

EDIT: It is listen under features and specifications in both the Canadian and the UK page of LG Optimus 7 in the LG website.

Here is where this feature is promised on the UK site of LG:

http://yfrog.com/jpmdz0j

It honestly looks quite intriguing.

And here is the VIDEO from the Canadian LG Site:

http://www.lg.com/ca_en/flash/feature/lg-moblie-E900-feature-flash-fancy_Voice_To_Text_video.swf

Just contacted Canada LG Support Line, and honestly, their customer service is worse than any other manufacturer I have ever called. Completely clueless representatives.

UPDATE: Now it is available both on Bell and Telus offerings of LG WP7 phones.
[Optimus 7 General] xdapants:
apparently it's available in the lg app store in some other regions ... some guy on some other forum mentioned in passing that he had it ... iirc he was italian

At least there's hope it'll show up for us canucks eventually

It's available in the lg app store now. I haven't tried it yet :|
[Optimus 7 General] kapanak:
Yes, it is finally available. Apparently, the initial release was on Nov 31th, and it was VERY buggy. But the new version available in Canada is Ver 1.1.0.0. and it is very stable. Not one crash or lag. The interface looks like...well it looks exactly the same as native apps in WP7.

I am extremely surprised at the performance. It registered anything I threw at it, although sometimes it took a while, but it even transcribed my ramblings. Also, it does French quite well, even though I have a pretty bad accent. I am amazed.

Respect LG. You are good.

PS: I wish this was integrated into every place you use the keyboard. Kind of like Android...Also, did you know only on LG phones the Bing search has that microphone symbol beside it? I didn't...until I looked at a Focus...

I was looking around in multiple places for versions of the spectrum or waveform live wallpaper in green. (or other colors in general) and I couldn't find them.

is there anyone out there who knows where I could find this or that can create it ?
[Focus General] scdoyle:
I have recently made the move from Android (Desire) to WP7 on the Focus and generally am enjoying the new experience. However, one thing I find frustrating is that there appears to be only one volume selection for ringtones and media player. I find this a pain as I have to lower it when listening to music or watching videos, and then remember to increase it again afterwards to ensure I can hear the phone ringing.

Am I missing something? If not, I find this is surprising as most phones I have used, even in my old symbian days, had separate volume controls for ringtones and media player.

Thanks
[Focus General] hlm818:
I was wondering the exact same thing today. I hope someone has an answer
[Focus General] brian_cornel:
Ah, yes. I have pretty much the same issue. I set my volume to the maximum level of 30 before I go to bed. The alarm is still VERY QUIET in the morning when it goes off. I believe this will be addressed in the update that is rolling out in the Jan-Feb timeframe.

I hope. Other than that, maybe there is an alarm clock app that will do what i want it to.
[Focus General] bobfisher29:
If you don't dismiss the alarm, it keeps coming back, and gradually gets louder.

The alarm starts out quiet and gets louder, it' by design as it wakes you gradually instead of a jarring loud alarm :)

I think it's a cool feature!
