I have a WinPhone and don't use facebook. I like to remain incognito. (Which defeats the purpose when I post to these boards)
[Windows Phone 7 General] sandrobber:
Wow

More people use facebook than google. Nuf said. Actually if you look at the initial sales numbers of andriod 1.0 and the iphone 1.0 this is probably on par if not better, But it is great to get MS people mad, BTW I am a MS person.

Media center on both laptop and desktop

2 XBOX 360's 1 with kinnect

1 WM 6.5 alway had WM!!!

1 WP7

and manage 1400 win desktops

and 40 win servers

and why.... their technology keeps me employed

I was just amazed that ppl wernt floking in the store.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
enterprise is one thing, consumer market... not so much. That and the so much of the media all drink Apple/Google Kool-aid.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiwas:
It was kind of fun that all the people I work with, who swear to iPhone (I believe they think they're still "special" - not "special" like I think of them, but "special" like not too many people have it) actually admired my new WP7 phone. And I, who said I would rather go down the Android path, might be back on track :)

Another thing that proves the market is opening to WP is that I already got three programming assignments - and they all want to pay me for making the apps, plus I can charge users for using the app. :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GTesman:
Hey guys,

I am new here and recently upgraded my Captivate to 2.2 with perception build 8.UGJK3, now I cannot mount my phone on my Mac running OS 10.6.5.

Thanks for your time.
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
does anyone know how or if you can either change the smileys or add more to our phone. (an app or flashable)???
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Rage faces in the market. Best smiley faces there are.
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
I can change them in the framework but only you can are them
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
not agreed :(
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
thanks but the idea is for others too see them. now that we are on that topic is there any way to make it to where we can see blackberry smiley's?
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
even with a app from the market the person receiving the text will not see them.

Yes there is if I can find the images
[Nexus One General] Airbag888:
So I was in a car crash and my N1 and car are goners. Well for my N1 it's only the screen that's cracked (inside, not the outside glass) but it's going to cost me upwards of $290 to get it repaired (I'm out of the states not near any repair centre etc) so that really sucks.

This thread is not to cry about it but looking for a proper replacement.

Like I said I'm out of the states and GSM/UMTS is what I need not CDMA and no contract options are available from carriers here so it's only fully unlocked (or with the potential to be) that will work for me.

I liked Stock Android but positively loved HTC Sense

So I was looking at either

1. Still trying to repair for the price above

2. A vendor here has HTC Desire HD - That would fit the HTC Sense wish but I hear there are battery issues(I've seen 'fixes' but no idea how well they work), the speaker's max volume is sort of low, I'm also worried about how good handsfree operation is (whether the mike works well etc)

3. Nexus S (that will be a few hurdles away to get it shipped to my country) but I'm sad about it being made by Sammy (could it mean no Sense would run on it - just speculation), then I was hoping it would have dual cores (that would be a nice upgrade), amazed it doesn't have 720p video recording in this day and age, sad it doesn't have hdmi out or microsd expansion (in that car crash the fact that I backed my stuff up on the sd card made me realise the importance)

4. Wait for the next decent (HTC?) dual core which could be way out.

Right now I'm using a stupid Blackberry that I absolutely hate. I didn't realise how much I could do with my phone until it was taken away.

So please shoot away and I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum
[Nexus One General] mingkee:
MyTouch 4 is your choice.
[Nexus One General] twadds:
You can buy replacement screens off ebay, it really isnt that difficult to install one.
[Nexus One General] mrbkkt1:
I would wait til January if possible. Lots of new stuff coming from HTC.
[Nexus One General] midyat47:
Maybe a Nokia 3310?

[Nexus One General] mr.r9:
1) Replace the screen later after buying one from ebay.

2) Nexus S.

3) Make do with anything & wait for dual cores to come out.

In the end, only you can answer these!
[Nexus One General] Airbag888:
I did not realise you could get replacement screens on Ebay. With the 'shortages' in amoled. I can certainly do that if it will work. I'll look around for pointers on changing the screen but if someone already has a link handy I'd appreciate it.

I don't think I have anyway of getting a Mytouch 4g to where I live.

And if I can replace the screen then yes I can definitely hold off purchasing another phone till Dual cores are up and about. I did not intend to replace this phone till June/July next year :(

Thanks for your input everyone.

Edit: I've just browsed ebay rapidly. I see they sell the screen 'without' the digitizer. I'm unsure if I will need one or not. I'm also seeing that amoleds are about $75 and the reference is H78. I'd just like to make sure that I will be buying the right thing =[

Ps: I am SO opening my bootloader after that =\
[Nexus One General] Lythandra:
I would try to wait for the dual cores to come out as its close if you can stand the Blackberry for a few months.

At least that is what I would do.
[Nexus One General] Airbag888:
Ford Fiesta. Car bumped into me while I was at around 35Mph and i went under a MiniVan.

Something else that's putting me off changing phones is I have my Car Dock for my N1 as well as an extra battery. I am amazed at how there's no real dock for Desire/HD or samsungs.

Believe me Lythandra I wish I could wait but I can't even bring myself to put back contact numbers on this BlackBerry. Plus there's so much that can be done on Android. Which reminds me I'll lose my privileged unlimited Tags on Shazam if I change phone :(

Edit: Does anyone think there'll be a Sense rom with 720p for the Nexus S?
[Nexus One General] BiTXBoi:
I would buy the phone Google supports the most (just as the Nexus One), so I would go for the Nexus S
[Nexus One General] Airbag888:
One more question. Does the Desire use exactly the same screen and internal connections? Cause this guy from an HTC shop here says they only do HTC's branded as HTC's and that they do repair Desire screens.

I thought this was incredibly stupid
[Nexus One General] prettyboy85712:
RAZR...nuff said.
[Nexus One General] tameracingdriver:
If you want Sense UI, then it makes sense (haha) to go for a phone that supports it natively, saves the pain and bugs of trying to get something to run on something it was never designed for. I tried a Sense UI ROM on my N1 when I had it, and it had a few annoying bugs for me, despite otherwise being a fairly decent port.

The Desire for me is a better phone, if you can look beyond noise cancelling and the silly coloured track ball, which is nice, but hardly anything to get that excited about; the desire has a hardware buttons which are much, MUCH nicer to use than those crap soft touch buttons on the N1. Said it all to me how other people really struggled to use the N1 when I let them have a play because the buttons are so unresponsive. Even after several months I had got used to them, but they still irritated.

If you're in the US though, naturally you have many more options available to you... I only know about stuff you can get in the UK.

There is one guy on a forum I visit who recently returned his Desire HD, stating he was really disappointed with the battery life and screen, and saying he would rather have the Desire. Make of that what you will.
[Nexus One General] GHOST99K:
if u plan to spend lots of money for a new phone i would wait till dual-core android HTC device.don't fall for the out dated nexus s which justa galaxy s made by "samsung".wait till january for HTC's release of dual-core android beasts.:D
[Nexus One General] Airbag888:
Well I'm not in the US, I'm on an island in the indian ocean.

Anyways I'm thinking I'll give the repair a try. If that doesn't work (because of a busted digitiser or w/e) then I'll think again.

Btw I love my N1 trackball and got used to the "got to press them a particular way" soft buttons.

I love the trackball because I can set a different colour for different events. Say 1 colour for the gf's text messages, 1 colour for when work is calling. That way at a glance (when the phone's on my desk or not in my pocket) I know what it is. Saddens me they're not keeping that trend.
[Nexus One General] geemaan:
Are you ok?
[Nexus One General] Airbag888:
Lol yes. Like I said 35Mph crash, looks impressive but it was a squishy car and just this time my N1 was on the passenger seat instead of the dock :( so it flew in the windshield. Irony wants that the airbag slapped me in the face
[Nexus One General] britoso:
+1 get a replacement on ebay and attempt it yourself or with a knowledgeable friend. Is been done by folks right here at xda.

I find it interesting that your id is Airbag...
[Nexus One General] Airbag888:
Hence the irony :p
[Nexus One General] flybyme:
LOL i thought you created an account as a result of the crash

Psychic :rolleyes: I would wait til January to see all the new stuff coming from HTC. :cool:
[Nexus One General] Airbag888:
Short update. I got a screen from ebay. Holding my breath through most of it I disassembled my N1 and replaced the screen and now it is booting with seemingly no issue except for one that saddens me.

As shown in the screenshots below the screen as a tendency to have a purplish hue and also seems to render at 8bit (incorrect gradients/colours) or something wacked.

I contacted the supplier who asked me to check the contacts and then told me it was probably damaged in transit. He did not comment when I asked if that had happened before and he's about to send me another screen except he said it'll take a while because of the amount of orders he has. At least I got android back.

In any case let me know what you guys think the problem could be. I'm really hoping it's the screen and that I'll be back to normal soon.

Btw we're January and the HTC offerings look pretty pale in comparison to the Atrix.

Atrix makes me want a phone that has gingerbread for phone UI and honeycomb for docked UI. Maybe that's where google's headed with the new Dual Core phones - Dual purpose phones.

That'd be nice

I sincerly hope HTC makes a move cause I'm going to miss being able to have SenseUI when/if i get an Atrix

For some reason I can't link the pictures so here:

[Nexus One General] ldn.sti..hf:
If i'm in your position, i'll get Nexus S.
[Nexus One General] Airbag888:
WoW the pictures finally showed up but they're huge Oo. Anyway I think the thread is shifting towards a cause for this purple tint and overall low colour depth and less about the next new phone. Plus I feel the Ns is already outdated with the Atrix and the 2X around the corner.
[Nexus One General] arminsoyka:
I occasionally have a very similar issue. the colors of my screen go crazy but more in a blueish and purple way and it only last for some time. reining of the screen a coupe of times usually helps!
[Nexus One General] Airbag888:
I'm sorry, what exactly do you mean by reining? And did you notice if you got the issue of the lack of color depth hence the bad gradients when your screen went crazy?

Thanks
[Nexus One General] arminsoyka:
I ment turning off. not quite adjusted to swype.

since english is not my native tongue and your post contains a couple of very special words I got to use a dictionary brite I can answer your question...
[Nexus One General] Airbag888:
oh lol ok. Well I've done all sorts of turning off the screen but it's still the same.

I'm waiting on the other screen now. Hopefully that'll fix it.

Thanks for putting in your time though :)
[Nexus One General] Airbag888:
So I got the 2nd screen and same thing, like 8-bit colors all over. Now I'm wondering if there are bad replacement screens out there and if I should trust someone else more considering HTC can't do anything for me
[Epic 4G General] boogief1:
IM gettting anoyed and tired of waiting :( anyone have a clue :D
[Epic 4G General] NYYFan325:

[Epic 4G General] difrent7:
Not really getting tired of waiting but i am tired of these threads.. be patient the phone is a beast without froyo or run the leak if you want.
[Epic 4G General] ksizzle9:
As a unfortunate Samsung owner. I say never and I understand the frustration BC we all want something that we were promised. Period.
[Epic 4G General] boogief1:
lol

anyone knows a good leak to flash that doesnt have bugs or allot of bugs while running it ???:confused:
[Epic 4G General] S0ckM0nk3y:
I'm with ya. The phone is a monster even stock right out of the box. The Cortex A8 Hummingbird is by far the fastest stock Processor out there (in my opinion). My wife has an Evo and I can navigate around my phone and web 5x faster than her.
[Epic 4G General] boogief1:
i agree i had the Evo be4 and this phone is better and by saying this phone i mean EPIC

1 Year Upgrades is all I have to say :)

[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
Are you saying froyo or gingerbread then?
[Epic 4G General] iil:
While for many, this update won't mean much, for others is actually a very important update. Our current gmail app is seriously crippled for some email users, no android management tools, no push notifications plus a more restricted market. I briefly switched and was stunned at the improvements made to the gmail app...eventually had to switch back though because my Battery life took a *HUGE* hit. Samsung/Sprint is really starting to drop the ball IMO.
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
2.2.1 is still being worked on,,,but the talk around the water cooler is 5-6 months for gingerbread,,,but it will be ported long before then.
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
strike that water cooler remark,this info is coming from a family member,highly trusted
[Epic 4G General] jocampo86:
Well froyo still has bugs I flashed it and got call issues freezing even after wipiing 3 times,lag on icons loading after rotate or opening keyboard...stock 2.1 is better.and no this phone is not better than evo they are both tha same it all depends on preference ,like epic keyboard but thicker>evo no keyboard thinner ,amoled or bigger screen,evo hdmi .evo 8mp camera kickstand etc...
[Epic 4G General] richse:
Who cares, use DK28. It works great and has the best battery life I have ever seen on a smart phone. Most recently, from a full charge with calls, texts, internet browsing, emailing, facebook, and over an hour of angry birds I got 31 hours of use before I put it on the charger at 6%. I used it the whole day, left it off the charger for the night and used it the next day just to see how long it would last. If they are making these kind of improvements I an very happy with the progress and they can have as much time as needed.
[Epic 4G General] richse:
You are doing something seriously wrong if you think DK28 caused bad battery life. I suggest you try again and calibrate your battery. See my previous post, this thing lasts FOREVER.
[Epic 4G General] richse:
Are you trying to say that is the release date? If so, you just destroyed your own credibility because they would never release a huge update on a holiday. No one wants to be stuck with a broken phone on Christmas sitting on hold for tech support. They most likely have less staff working too, which would just compound the problems.
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
funy thing is I dont care if you think its credible,Im putting it out there,if Im flammed Im flammed...And to clarify what my info is,12/20 is when they want to have RC2 ready for .4 version test phones,the window is mostly 5 days for bugs to be reported,now we are looking at 12/25-26,then if it is given the ok,it will roll out before the end of the year as expected,not everyone will get the OTA the first day.So I cant say when you will get it,only when they expect it to be done....And if you follow my trail, posted exactly when DK28 would hit 3 weeks before,I said 26-29. And Ive said this before,DK28 was supposed to be final with an update 2 weeks after the roll out to fix any unseen bugs.I mentioned this here and on SDX,does that seem credible enough for you?
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
Also,this is why DK28 was posted on a google server,someone jumped the gun,that person was probably fired.
[Epic 4G General] drakkahn:
Running Epic Experience DK28 at the moment. I've been getting GREAT battery life and very few issues.

A little laggy at times, but nothing serious.
[Epic 4G General] Sh0wNuF:
Based on the hardware specs the epic is clearly the better device, but in the real world every thing you mentioned is what users will useto determine which phone is better
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
Samsung isn't the problem...

IIRC, Samsung said before the end of the year and they have already released it to Sprint. Samsung isn't the problem and Sprint never said when they were going to release it. So quit all your bellyaching and flash to DK28 now. Then you can enjoy Froyo now along with the custom rom of your choice. It gets here when it gets here...
[Epic 4G General] jeffyv2:
Seriously ... I've had froyo for like 2 months now lol

If you don't care, why did you ask?

Answer: no, not even a little. Nobody cares what your mom's third cousin who works in a Sprint store thinks.

Jeez whats with all the hostility. We all want news but *****ing each other out doesn't help =(
[Epic 4G General] goob1284:
Ugghhhhhhh.... little whining girls. Get over it! And just get some roms. Install rom manager, look in the captivate development section for roms. Most, if not all, are froyo. Look at docs rom, axura, or cronus (sp?). Docs are amazing and im running cronus right now. Not bad. Good luck! Oh btw, its extremely hard to brick.the phone if you know what you're doing. If you have any questions pm me. I have enough knowledge/experience to get my hands dirty with the stuff
[Epic 4G General] chronostorm:
Honestly, I haven't been having any issues with the DK28 build, so that might as well be official for me.
[Epic 4G General] ryno502:
DK28 is usable, I recommend flashing it. I am running DK28 + Nebula ROM and my phone performs well enough for everyday use. DK28 isn't perfect though.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
The only reason I doubt ecooce is because he said that DK28 was meant to be the final release. DK28 is far from polished and would have been a disaster for Sprint/Samsung. If that is what they have spent their last 5 months working up to, then we have a LOT more than a week to go before something as polished as DI18 is released with froyo.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
He said it was a release candidate which means it could have issues and if there are not any issues. There were hence the reason it was not released. =)
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
Well Ill never make rude comments or try to out do anyone that is. Hell they might run into problems with RC2,,,But if you look at the track record of DK28,most people arnt having that many issues,and who knows why others are having serious issues.Yes it wasnt polished,but it wasnt really released was it.They actually have in house releases more then you would think,they just dont get leaked as much when only 10 people are testing in house.The last "in house" release was never labled,but I was calling it DL07/8,and from what I hear,the dock was fixed.Its almost ready folks....strictly buisness,never an ass,thats me...
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
Good to know man thank you for your info =) Its nice to have someone on the inside giving us some updates.

[Epic 4G General] socos25:
While I don't argue the fact that 2.2, or 2.3 for that matter offer improvments, I don't see why that should make you people act like little kids you didn't get the latest game for Christmas... That is unless of course, that you are a little kid.

It will get here when it gets here.. I'm not sure who promised anything to anyone.. When I bought my Epic the guy at the store said nothing about software upgrades. The only promises on release dates have been posted in this forum. Which obviously no one is credible.... So put that in your pipe and smoke it!!
[Epic 4G General] boogief1:
ohh my God what have i started too much arguing

stop arguing
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
Go with Nebula 1.0.4. Best 2.2 rom out there.
[Epic 4G General] :
Bottom line nothing has officially been released we can argue all day but we all will just get headaches unless you are someone that thrives and lives and strives for arguments. Until the official release comes of 2.2 or 2.3 oe 2.4 or 6.8 I'm done reading this thread. Its stupid to argue over something as minimal of this. Unless you are a dev stop arguing

[Epic 4G General] richse:
I didn't use it while I slept so that was about 8 hours it was idle but the other 23 hours it was getting used pretty actively. The only things I do to save battery life are keep the screen dim and use overclock widget set at 1000/200 screen on and 400/200 screen off.

i cheked it out and eghh is ok

the early release of dk28 has no flaws on my epic

use odin and flash the dk28 modem first

if you are already on dk28 and having issues...odin back to di18

then odin modem...then odin full dk28

my shaddy di18 gps locks are now instantanious and pinpoint accurate on dk28

theres nothing here to discuss except pointing people towards this method until cyanogen and/or the official sprint comes on christmas
