The big difference between the two: Streak works on ATT's 3G, HD7 works on T-Mo's. However, if you're not tied to any one carrier, the big thing to take into consideration is the deliciously monstrous screen. I've only played with a demo unit, but even running Android 1.6, it was a fun unit to play with. The deal killer for me was that I would be using it as my primary phone, and the awesomest feature, the giant screen, is also its biggest drawback, as it would cause it to not fit in my pants. However, since women carry those purse things, and otterbox makes an outlandishly large case for it to protect it from other purse-bound items, it may be an option. As mentioned above, take her to best buy and let her play with a unit. That'll be the best way to let her see if she'd like one. They've also recently dropped to $100 on contract, which sweetens the deal considerably.

I thought that as well until I played with WP7

the lack of GPU acceleration is a dealbreaker.

The main reason for it being harder on apps than android is so we don't get cluttered with garbage apps like ringtone apps and hundreds of fart apps. Android may have more but 99 percent of it is things no intelligent person would touch. WP7 is a more practical approach and not meant for third graders. That paired with a much better UI, well, theres not too much that could go wrong.
[General Topics] TheBiles:
Hmm. Let me take a look at the Android Market. No, I can't say I see ANY "fart apps or ringtone apps." Of course, I don't look for new apps by browsing the "just in" category. The "top apps" categories and new "similar" tab provide everything I need for a junk-free Market experience. Oh, and I like my homescreen to be more than a bunch of boring, solid-colored boxes. That "speed" you mention comes heavily at the cost of customization.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
no its the lack of gpu acceleration. no cost just poor software. Last I checked I wasnt a 3rd grader who needed a pic of the girl Im crushing on for a homescreen. I'm happy with constantly updated tiles that at one quick glance tell me everything thats going on. Now can anyone tell me any benefits aside from gaming to this OS not the typical fanboy reply "It's better by default." I honestly cant come up with one other plus aside from size.
[General Topics] hammondnav:
Stop regurgitating whatever Steve Jobs says. What's with your fixation on fart apps and ringtones?

If you're asking for opinions, act like a grown-up and consider what others are sharing with you. If you want to dismiss everything as OMFGANDROIDSUXLULZZZ then stop wasting everybody's time, go get a goddamn WP7 phone. Stop trolling and GTFO.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
Actually I was an android fanboy since the G1, I loved it and would not touch an iphone .with a 10 foot pole. Odds are I've done more to android phones than you or many others. I still root and flash android phones as a side job. I also build my own roms for the nexus one and a few others. I would like a valid reason other than gaming that the streak is better than the HD7 because she is generally interested in the large screen. But you know, with your all caps 1337sp33k you totally showed how capable you are of acting like an adult.
[General Topics] hammondnav:
Wow you root and flash Android phones? Dude, you're so pro! Remember, you're the one saying Android is for third graders... so I'm not even going to waste any more time discussing adult-like behavior with you.

Again, if nothing can convince you that Android

at its state today

is superior to WP7, then by all means go get a WP7 phone. What's holding you up? It seems like you have already made your decision. So, stop fishing for opinions that you know you will dismiss without consideration, and go buy your wife the HD7. I sincerely hope you both enjoy it. WP7 isn't bad by any stretch of the imagination, but it hasn't reached the maturity that Android has. That's the general concensus and there's not much you can change there.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
No, the desire to customize a UI just doesnt make sense to me. I mean with android itt did because with the UI it would just be bland without customization but the same customization is not necessary on a windows phone. I want herto get the streak because I know she likes it and regardless I still like android it's just not right for the business oriented consumer (me) but she wants a fun phone. I just want to know aside from market is there anything that android beats out WP7 on. That is my one simple question. I know it is a more fun phone but she wants hard facts. I'm already sold on the streak for her taste to be honest. It's her opinion as well however and she (like most women my age) can't make up her mind about anything.
[General Topics] vetvito:
^ dude you are so funny. You bash android every chance you get. First in the WP7 forum, now in the general forums. What are you seeking, vengeance?
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
The only thing I bashed was when someone said "It's android, it's better by default." I want her to get android because it's better suited for her and she wants a huge screen so I thought streak instantly. I ask the members of the community for facts because she wants them and in return get biased statements that have nothing to do with specs. All I'm asking for is facts.
[General Topics] TheBiles:
The same way that it is a "fact" that Android apps are nothing but ring tones and fart apps?

I don't know what your wife wants in a phone, but the only "apps" my wife uses on her current phone are the browser and solitaire, which work well in both Android and WP7, so as far as it would apply to her, the flamewar between Android and WP7 would make no difference, and I don't know why it has been carried into this thread. As far as the streak and HD7 are concerned, both are gigahertz devices with half a gig of ram and gorilla glass. The streak has a larger LCD, but it's tft as opposed to the hd7's slcd, so there is that. Also, memory cards on the streak can be shuffled around without busting your warranty, so if the OP's wife moves a lot of data around, that could be important. Also, wp7 has Netflix streaming support, so of you're retarded for Netflix like I am, that may factor in. The streak also uses a goofy proprietary cable, which really doesn't make much difference, but does rub me the wrong way for a reason that I don't fully understand. Other than that, not sure what would be relevant to the OP's question.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
I never stated that that was all androids market was composed of. It is composed of some of the best games and that's why I'd think she'd find it more appealing. Someone brought about the fact that the apps on WP7 were harder to get approved and I stated that is to prevent the majority of the market from being junk apps. I'm sorry but 186 different fart machines on android. That says nothing about the system just the app people. I do want to thank the post before mine for those facts, you have sold her on the streak where I couldnt because I don't know much about it's android experience (Dell's custom UI or whatever) and I appreciate that.
[General Topics] FL5:
No prob, man. Glad to help. I do stress that you should take her to go play with a physical unit before committing to the purchase, though. It is surprisingly thin and easy to hold, but any pressure on the screen makes it do that weird LCD color-smudge thing, and while I was able to use it easily, there were times that the digitizer wasn't reading my swiping gestures correctly. Honestly though, now that it's down to $100 on contract, I'm regretting having cashed-in my upgrade already. What was unreasonable to purchase for $300 is pretty tempting at $100. Oh well, still won't fit in my pants, lol.
[General Topics] akbisw:
I dont care about fanboy arguements. But if its for ur wife, tell her to get a WP7, cause android is built for men who like to mess with their device. I bet she wont have time to figure out all the things we do here at XDA. Since u like WP7 u guys can share the family room thing or whatever for WP7. Android focuses on a different mindset of people. Thats why there are options for different people. The reason why iphone is popular among ladies because of its ease of use and straightforwardness. Last time I checked men like everything that is NOT straightforward. That is what we do. Same reasoning can be used for iphone and WP7's favor. Tell her to get WP7.

I installed the latest Nebula rom today and using the dk28 modem and victory_8G_100528.pit

I'm new to all of this and I recently bricked/unbricked my phone. Is anyone else not getting some calls or texts? Everything else seems perfect. Can someone tell me what is this pit file I need to use? Is the pit file the kernel? Is the kernel the problem or is it the modem or rom? I need intel on this! :mad:
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
ok,from my understanding the pit file is what tells odin where to place the modem file,but ; have gotten away with not using it several times
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
oh,I dont suggest you do that,and I cant see why you would miss calls,I havnt had this problem on 2.1 using dk28 modem,or on 2.2.1,and I test every ROM

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saagarcbakshi:
When android 2.3 comes out for the nexus one, I might want to switch from my current cyanogenmod 6.1 to 2.3. Will i need to wipe my phone or simply wipe cache and dalvik cache as usual? I would rather not wipe the phone... its just a bit of a hassle, even with titanium backup
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehgeekguy:
It's a completely separate rom with an entirely new base.... full wipe or you'll be in a boot loop
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saagarcbakshi:
Well in that case how bout if I were to revert to 2.2 froyo from cm 6.1? Would i still need to wipe, since they are both froyo based? And from there stock froyo I could update to 2.3
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aziz831:
Whenever you switch ROMs and they are from a different developer you need to wipe. Sometimes even a ROM update from the developer requires a wipe but its always specified in the instructions if it is necessary or not.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dictionary:
Thread reported, but to answer.

You have to do a full wipe whenever switching between two different ROMs, regardless of base. Cyanogen to Enomther? Wipe. Stock to Cyanogen? Wipe. 2.2 unofficial (meaning not OTA, but via flashable zip) to 2.3 unofficial (meaning not OTA, but via flashable zip)? Wipe. Yes it sucks, but that's the nature of things.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_raider:
No one knows how different 2.3 will be. You may need a new radio also.

Didn't 2.1 to 2.2 require a new radio?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] baywatch:
Greetings.

Could someone please point me to some info on how to remove apps from a stock build?

I have an old Motorola Cliq laying around that I want to give to my 2 year old so that he can basically use it as a dedicated Angry Birds device.

I applied the 2.1 upgrade yesterday and it delivered a whole lot of suck. The phone is slower than ever. I tried loading up the Angry Birds seasons on it, but it just crashes.

My thoughts are to remove anything and everything that I possibly can to get this thing to run Angry Birds as smoothly as possible. I'd also like to remove the modem and dialer if possible.

Any kicks in the right direction are greatly appreciatted.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jarrick:
Can't post a link yet, but search google for "barebones cyanogenmod wiki" and follow the steps there for removing apps. Worked for me.

[G Tablet Accessories] tdegenaro:
I picked this up tonight at TJ Max for a whopping 10 bucks. Its obviously meant for the iPad, but it has a standard male audio jack which plugs right into the Tablet. It takes 4 AAA cells and has a volume control and power switch on the back. This is no Bose sound system, but it's a vast improvement over the internal speakers. The main reason I bought this was for it to be a base for the G-Tablet. For this purpose it's more than adequate.
[G Tablet Accessories] mmracing:
Nice Find!
[G Tablet Accessories] joedhimself:
I picked this up yesterday at Marshalls (same store) and I'm thinking of taking it back. It is VERY unstable since it is made for the thinner iPad, which would lean back in the cradle better. The g tab wants to flop forward too easily:(
[G Tablet Accessories] tdegenaro:
Agree, but you'd have to nudge pretty hard to have it fall forward (which I unintentionally tested ;) just left sitting there it won't move on it's own.

To make it more stable, I put small adhesive rubber feet in the front to tilt the whole unit back a half inch and it was much better. Not perfect, but for $10 it'll work.
[G Tablet Accessories] JoeMofknDot:
I also have this speaker dock I picked it up for Marshall's. I have two kids and they are only 1 and two years old. They both play learning games on the G Tablet while sitting in the speaker dock in Landscape and portrait and they haven't dropped it yet they both use it for about 20 minutes to an hour each everyday for the last few weeks so a $10 dock has helped me alot. Also makes viewing videos easier to see

I serve dolphin mini too . I tested opera mini , opera mobile , skyfire , dolphin HD and I just like dolphin mini's Ui best . Besides you don't need a million add-ons like on HD to actually have a working browser .

In terms of page rendering I see no difference between mini and HD .

As to the Opera family I really like the panning performance , it's the best of the very best , even though Opera mini isn't really Android material . It just doesn't render pages adequately as the other top dogs do. But I think UI really isn't optimized for HVGA rezolution . It feels oversized for the screen :( . Also it doesn't have full screen so even less view space of the page . Maybe in the future opera will think about resizing the UI

[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] rapharias:
I like Opera Mini, but the stock browser has a better feature for me.

I don't know if anyone thinks about that, but the zoom on stock browser is the best one out there. When you click the + button the text just get ordered so you can read it without scrolling always from left to right.

Is there any browser with such stuff?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Take whatever bootanimation you want, copy to /system/media/bootanimation.zip (overwrite the system one).

If you want to retain system bootanimation but still overwrite it - copy to /data/local/bootanimation.zip instead (might not work - I'm not sure if it's ROM-specific).

Don't know about the startup sound, living perfectly without one.
