[myTouch 4G General] student.driver:
Basically, this it what I'm considering myself. I don't mind the version of Sense that's on it, but I do love my G2 as well and I wouldn't mind seeing what Enom would do with it. I'm also torn over the vastly improved Swype or having the standard keyboard, but I think I'll be fine with Swype, or at least I get to try the Gingerbread keyboard.

However, on the screen issue, my first mT4G had the washed out screen you're talking about, whereas my second one is actually darker in contrast than either mine or my wife's G2s (they are very, very similar to each other though). I actually prefer this screen over every other screen I've owned or used, including my Nexus One or the Vibrant. While those two had great colors, I hated the pentile tech they used in place of the standard RGB-RGB pixel arrangement. The colors and blacks on this display are sufficient, but the text is simply wonderful to read. The G2 is a very close (and similar) second, to me. After that, it's (S)AMOLED. Once they get around the RGBRG crap, or seriously increase the pixel density, I'll probably go back to that tech. By then, most of the software should account for the ultra-wide color gamut that those displays support and not result in overblown oranges and reds.
[myTouch 4G General] Ducter:
hmm, thanks for the insight I will tell my son about it for sure. He should be inside his buyers period and would love not having his screen washed out like that.
[myTouch 4G General] Deliximus:
I like the feel of the G2. But I favor the MT4G a bit more. The screen is better on the G2 for sure.

As for a good soft kb, i think "better keyboard' on the market is the best $2.99 i've spent. I've recommended it to a few friends and all of them love it.
[myTouch 4G General] student.driver:
You might either have, or have seen, a myTouch 4G with the less than optimal screen. I've had both, and have two G2s, and the replacement mT4G is at a *minimum* comparable to the both of them. Maybe you'll get a chance to see one with the better screen in the days and weeks to come as more of them get out there.

Why would they go and make super phone like this and add mysense to it?! This **** is terrible!! I even prefer the touchwiz over this like my old vibrant had lol...is there a different interface I can get somewhere or something the doesn't include rooting? Mainly because I am afraid to root because I've bricked before.
[myTouch 4G General] Ducter:
You can try different launchers or alternative home screen replacement apps..

Launcher pro, adw are a few of the more popular ones.
[myTouch 4G General] dustrho:
Zeam Launcher is a great alternative, as it's targeted to be lean & mean without all the bells & whistles of other launchers.
[myTouch 4G General] slackerx10:
Tried them both and I like launcher pro better than adw... I'm not saying that its bad because it certainly isn't but I just prefer launcher pro.

I am with you 100%,I dont care for ADW either, not sure what all the hype over it is..
[myTouch 4G General] Akulamenuri:
I was originally against phones that didn't have Stock Android but I like the specs and construction too much to past it up. Launcher Pro and Widget Locker go a great job of nearly customizing anything Sense.
[myTouch 4G General] d2theaher69:
it really boils down to do you NEED a keyboard.

i had both phones.

i loved!! my g2. but i didnt really need a physical keyboard so i traded it for a mt4g.

so if you needed a physical keyboard go with the g2 its freakin awesome.

if you dont need one go with the mt4g and get a front facing camera and slimmer phone.

I've updated sdk via SDK Manager and from then on Eclipse is complaining about missing 'adb'. Solution was to update Eclipse plugin via Help->"Check for Updates".

I got bitten by this too. adb has moved from C:\android-sdk-windows\tools to C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools. Add the latter to your path and it fixes it.

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone knows a way to speed up the time it takes my DHD to decide to rotate.

Currently it seems to take about 3 seconds which seems pretty shoddy.

Everything else seems fine, no lag and charged with de-bugging, around 200mb of Ram free at all times.

Is there a way to speed this up or any good apps to adjust the settings of the g-sensor?

Thanks
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] BartOtten:
I guess the poster above searched and did not find an answer. I am wondering the same thing.......Programs are willing to switch to landscape pretty fast but back to portrait is a bit 'slow'
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] spookamiester:
There's been over 100 views and no answer so I can only assume that no one has an answer yet but are looking for one.

I've found a few apps to toggle rotation on and off but I just wanted to speed it up.

These toggles can come in handy when reading ebooks in bed etc so although not what we're after here's a link to some

http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/screen rotation
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Andy:
Have you OC'd your DHD? I have no problems with the autorotation speed.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] spookamiester:
Nope, I do use Set CPU but it's happening when the device has been awake for a while and battery is fine. Parameters I set were 2 hundred and something mhz screen off and 7 hundred and something under 50% battery, all on demand so that shouldn't be a factor.

I can't find any apps like advanced config or g-config which I used to customise this on Winmo 6.5

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] denyboy:
im going to buy myself a new SD specificly i want to make sure it runs OK with android.

Its going to be either

Kingston MC MicroSD 16GB (class 10 i think)

or

Kingston MC MicroSD 8GB (class 6 i think)

What is the difference between classes and is anyone using this cards. How is android running on it. Which one to buy. Im willing to buy 16GB class 10 but 8GB is half the price i dont need 16GB but its class 10. IM not sure how theese classes work.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] azzzz:
Class is only good for write speed. high class doesn't always go well with Android. My class 2 run android better than my class 4 and 6 but brand results may varies...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ultramag69:
I'm using a 32Gb Topram sd card class 4 and it works fine, but so did my 16gb class 2 sandisk.

Just depends what you need the space for. If you load it up with media files, like me, you need space, if you're just running it with normal usage then an 8 gb should be fine.

Unfortunately, just like roms and builds, everyone's needs are different.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] denyboy:
Thanks for replys.

I already have 4GB sandisk class 2 and Android works well.

But i need more space. And i want 8GB or more so i can format it to fat32 64 bit cluster size.

With 4GB i can only use 32 cluster size for FAT32. So i want to choose a good card. Becouse i dont want to spent money for card which will run Android badly.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzn:
Hi all,

I have the Desire HD for 2 weeks now but I've only yesterday noted the gps doesn't seem to work... It's a complete stock model, no custom roms or radio's. I'ts just never able to get a fix! Are there other people with problems like this? Could my device be broken?

I have installed a app from the market that tests the gps and it finds no satelites most of the time except one time I checked it found 4 with a very bad signal... Even then in Google Maps or the HTC Locations it didn't get a fix.

Any ideas?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sean2390:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjehan:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rossysaurus:
i HAD this problem, but then i left the GPS on for an entire journey. 45 minutes later it had a fix and ive never had any problems getting a fix within a minute since.

i dont think the phone knows what side of the globe its on the first time, so maybe it just needs a loooong time the first time.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Most GPS devices need to download a file known as an almanac. This determines where satellites will be at specified times.

This file can take a while to download as GPS is purely passive. I'm not sure if the DHD is A-GPS (Assisted). This will download the almanac via mobile or wifi data.

This is why sometimes the first GPS lock can take a while.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kermez:
Try these two programs:

http://www.appbrain.com/app/gps-status-toolbox/com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2

http://www.appbrain.com/app/gps-test/com.chartcross.gpstest

First one is great for diagnostic so it should tell you what is wrong.

At this moment, while I thought my gps fix was very bad (and as I own one, if not the, of the 1st DHD batches, it was not abnormal to think that it also had gps probs) it now fixes within 1 minute....

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antonios76:
Guys regarding the GPS, all of us we face an issue. It can not lock the satellites quickly. Especially for the people like me who are HTC HD2 owners as well. I was waiting only few seconds. (cooked rom). We MUST forget that now. It's an issue for all of the android devices. Even with the device of the Nexus. So we must live with that. Sometimes it will lock the satellites in 1 min or 30 secs, some other time in 2-3 mins. I searched also in the internet and i found so many complains regarding the GPS and hopefully not only from DHD users
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kermez:
Yep, I had also that problem but then red at forums that only way to lock as fast as you can satellite is to use first one for locking over internet and after that it's much easier to find satellite. Whenever you have problem with locking or need gps asap first program should provide you with fast satellite find.

Btw gps on dhd is so good that I have sold my old garmin - simply it's obsolete and now I have only to purchase official car holder.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan1967:
Most of the times is more difficult to get a fix in a speeding car.

In the opposite case is generally faster to get a sat fix.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bogega:
So I've been using my DHD for 3 weeks now (stock model as well, no root) and here are two issues with GPS that I noticed and have no idea what to do with it.

1. The same problem as described in first post. Every once in a while my GPS just cannot get a fix. I installed GPS Test app. Normally it finds around 6-7 satellites, they are all in use, the yellow indicator in GPS status bar goes green and my location appears on mini-map.

However there are situations when GPS Test says that there is 1 to 5 satelites in view, later on they also apper to be in use, but GPS status doesn't change to green and my actual location doesn't show. It's not a problem of visibility or my location - the GPS can get a fix today and not work tomorrow at the very same place.

I have no idea if this can be fixed, so any help appreciated.

2. This is not really an issue, just something that I find quite disturbing. I'm using this traffic app (Yandex Maps for those of you in Russia). It shows current traffic condition on the map + your current location if you have GPS. So each time I lock my DHD (press the button on the top) the GPS is immedietly switched off. So when I unlock the screen to see the map again it takes from few seconds to a minute or even more to update my current position. Sometimes it doesn't happen at all (see problem #1). I understand it's probably done to save battery but I would prefer continuously working GPS than saving battery. Is there any way to set GPS to always working mode?

Thanks in advance to everyone who can help. Cheers
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzn:
Hi,

I read all you guys said and after trying both the apps and refreshing my agps data manually I now get 6-7 satellites which is good I think?

So for all of you with the same problem, just stay outside for a moment and make sure you have a data-connection. Then use the GPS Status app and refresh your agps data manually. It should work... It did for me!

Ps. I think my Desire, not the HD, used to see 11 satellites? Is that possible? Does this mean 6-7 is kind of weak?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bogega:
Just to make it clear - to manually refresh AGPS using GPS Status - you need to go to Menu->Tools->Manage A-GPS state->Download?

I'm not outside now, but will try it once I have problems getting a fix.

And yes, 11 sats is possible. 6-7 is more than enough though.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jokies:
Stand still to get a fix? Harder when you are speedy, I think.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Your movement speed has no impact on how quickly you get a lock. Remember, these satellites are in orbit traveling alot faster than your 30 - 70mph.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jokies:
Such option is clearly not coming with stock rom otherwise I can find it on mine@_@
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzn:
Yes indeed, I've clicked reset too I think.

It's an option of the "GPS Status" application, not of the rom.

It says 6 satelites in view and 6 satelites in use. But still no fix.

The app also reports the "signal" of the satelites and no satelite get over 20 on the scale (goes from 0-99)
