[Optimus 7 General] johnw230873:
I have the option of either picking the LG Optimus 7Q - C900 or HTC 7 Trophy. I have looked at both phones, played with both phones and still unsure.

From what I can see these phones are on slightly different networks but not enough for me to be concerned as most of the time I'll be on wifi data (I'll write the specs of phones and network at the end)

The LG has a Keyboard, great if I want the full screen when typing but on the flip side not all applications go to landscape.

The LG feels a more soild phone but with this comes weight.

It seems to have more radio bands, but so what if your country only has 2 main telcos.

I haven't read bad posts (apart bad design keyboard) about this phone.

now for the Trophy

Better user support like a decent group in xda.

Only has a 8gb built in SDcard

Seems to have better Sound options/mixing when listerning to music

Better custom applications

Lighter than the LG

Supplied by the network we will be using

I am concerned about all the issues in posts I have seen, is the phone really that bad?

So can anyone help me out, have you tried both and perfered one over the other, why?

Networks.

In NZ we have 2 main telcos with a couple of smaller company's using their tranmitters. The contract will be with 2degress using Vodafones equipment.

from what I can see here is the specs of both phones

LG

GSM 850; GSM 900; GSM 1800; GSM 1900; Edge; HSDPA 7.2; HSUPA 5.6; UMTS 850; UMTS 1900; UMTS 2100

Trophy

GSM 850; GSM 900; GSM 1800; GSM 1900; WCDMA; HSDPA 7.2; HSDPA 900; HSDPA 2100

It is hard to find true network information about Vodafone in NZ but from what I can tell they use 3G 900 and 2100 for their broadband so I don't see a magor issue here, can anyone else?

Cheers
[Optimus 7 General] kapanak:
First off, there is a separate forum for LG Quantum. Secondly, I wouldn't recommend Trophy even to my enemy. It is far slower than my Optimus 7 (at least a 2-3 second lag on loading apps, mostly games), but the screen looks to have more contrast.

I can attest to the fact that both Optimus 7 and Quantum are QUAD BAND GSM AND QUAD BAND 3G, so no worries on the network front of things.

Just get the LG. :D

Me Too..

I am going for an handset upgrade and I have 2 options, Lg or Htc 7 Mozart. Dunno which one to get. Too confused!

Lg has better space capabilities than htc

Htc has better design than Lg

Dunno which one to choose!!!

Please help!!!
[Optimus 7 General] kapanak:
Honestly, the LG design is better than the HTC...seriously, the HTC crop of phones with WP7 on them are a failure this time around...Do not go with the fact that HTC has a good reputation or hardware. This time around LG and Samsung nailed it. The LG Optimus 7 I have now is far more solid and has a better feel hardware-wise than the two HTCs (TP2 and NexusONE) I have had in the past two years.
[Optimus 7 General] the.rider1290:
I advice you to go for the LG, I have one and looks really solid, I bought it although I am not a fan of LG phones but this time it seems that they succeded)))
[Optimus 7 General] mariotenuta:
I just got the optimus yesterday and I am very impressed with this phone. I cant believe it hasn't sold more then this. The build is great, really solid, Windows 7 is awesome and clean. I prefer this much more to Android. LG did a really great job with this phone. I have avoided LG like the plague but am very please with this device. Only thing I would have like is a better screen but its not that big a deal.
[Optimus 7 General] k2reefa:
dont forget abput the LG apps that they are givingaway some of them are very very decent LGs own apps and some of the others are also good, iv got the optimus 7

cant realy comment on the HTC

i know this makes no diference if ya develop ya phone but not evry one will do this

so free aand installed apps could be a deciding factor

i say remove battery.

put it back again..and turn ur phone on....

if it hasnt flashed correctly then reboot into hboot then to recovery and start again..but dont wipe battery now.. ok?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sereniity:
Didn't take that long, saying that was the first ROM I've installed so I can't be accurate on 'decent' install times.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0lle:
odd...

I know for sure I permrooted correctly

I did NOT install HBoot

then performed these steps:

First Method (via Rom Manager)

Launch ROM Manager.

Optional: Choose the first option in the app, Flash ClockworkMod Recovery to update to the latest version.

Select the Download ROM option from the main menu in the ROM Manager.

Select the CyanogenMod option, and then choose the latest version of CyanogenMod from the menu.

Optional: When you select the latest version of CyanogenMod, check the Google Apps* option.

Once the ROM is finished downloading, it asks if you would like to Backup Existing ROM and Wipe Data and Cache.

If Superuser prompts for root permissions check to Remember and then Allow.

Your HTC Desire HD will now reboot into recovery, wipe data and cache, and then install CyanogenMod. When it's finished installing it will reboot into CyanogenMod.

though it did not request SU after the wipe data and cache checkboxes. is that normal?

I rebooted my phone and everything works as before, even my call log and messages are still intact

You're right. I read prereqs... didn't mention visionary wasn't allowed as root/permroot method.

will uninstall and do it from scratch.

should I install hboot? it's mentioned as "not recommended" on the cyanogen site.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jhinta:
:D of corse it's not recomended because its a Kritical moment of modding.

Not to scare you but messing up hboot is like oke my phone is dead !!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nabeel10:
How does modifying your kernal help you? Some examples please
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epakrat75:
It's spelled "Kernel". Some examples include: Better battery life, CPU / GPU Overclocking support, New File System support, BLN (Back Light Notification), etc.

Visit the Development section / Bible thread. Read the features / change logs of the various kernels offered. They're usually enlightening and may offer additional examples.

If flashing a kernel separately from a ROM, NEVER flash a kernel for a Android version different from the ROM version that you want to pair it with. For example: Flashing a 2.1 kernel with a 2.2 ROM = Bad news.

Hi,

I need your help. I've got a rooted desire running Oxygen 2.0RC ROM (thanks AdamG).

Question is...I keep running out of space when installing apps. I've seen references to "A2SD and EXT2/3/4" and so forth around the forum.

Can someone explain to me what they are and how I can somehow fool my desire into thinking my 16Gb micro SD card is part of its internal memory. I've already moved as many apps as I can to SD card but I keep running out of space.

Is it even possible to fool the desire into thinking the SD card is internal memory??

thanks in advance!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samleung:
First of all, you're posting this in the wrong forum- this belongs in the Q n A section.

What you need to do is to use an A2SD+ paritition. Download Rom Manager, and make a partition with 512mb and 0mb swap. This will "extend" your internal storage and give you loads more space.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunilnc:
Thanks Samleung.

Just tried that. Seems to have worked so far. Am i right to assume that I have now extended my space by 512mb?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samleung:
It's not necessarily an extension per say. From now on, your apps will still be installed on the internal memory, but with greatly reduced memory needs as it will be installed to the 512mb partition as well. Download "Quick System Info" to see how much of the 512mb has been used.

I suggest you reinstall your rom, just to be extra sure everything is installed there.

Remember to post in the correct section! PM me if you have any more questions.

I just recently purchased my Vibrant from bell and then i updated to 2.2 software through the Kies software. My issue is that on either my Samsung WEP420 or my Jawbone bluetooth it wont play music to either. I have tried a few different players such as Power Amp and WinAmp with no luck of it working. Is there a setting im missing or something i am doing wrong?

Oh and BTW i did not try the bluetooth till after i had allready updated to 2.2, because i didn't really think about it, but it would be nice to listen to music while bored at work.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Um if you mean just from inside the phone using your favorite file explorer app?

Typically its:

Download the *.apk to your SDCard

Browse using your favorite file explorer (Stock or in my case ESFile Explorer) and click on the *.apk and you should be prompted to install that application.

Application installs and your done!

Sideload wonder machine works like a charm
[Captivate General] Racharg:
Precursors to behaviour:

-Pin security is set (required by exhange email policy)

-an ap in full screen (such as google clock) stays open past the security timeout

When I close that ap and return to the homescreen and subsequently fast press the power button to lock the screen the following happens:

-Screen goes blank (as it should) BUT...

-Fast press the power button fails to wake the phone

-Long press of the power button does not power off the phone

-Touch buttons light but the phone is otherwise blank/black and unresponsive

Ultimately, a battery pull is required to reboot the phone.

This has happened with both cognition and di11igaf's rom (the one I am currently using) and seems to be 2.2 related as rogers 2.1 only required the pin when powering up and used the slider for sleep.

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Cheers!

I should also add that using SGS Info to change the "Power" button action in your phone will fix this, but only because it removes the lock screen entirely, negating any security you might want to implement (including the plain swipe option)

Hiho,

I just tryed to play Anno 1602 in LAN mode, what is using MS DirectPlay. And wondered why it doesn't work. Regardless who creates the group. When someone but me creates it, i don't see it and when I create it, others won't find it, either.

Then I viewed the configuration http page of the router to find out what the DHCP server is doing with the MAC of my phone an just recognized that it doesn't have any "name". There is just the MAC, the IP and an empty area after "name".

Even if I search for the IP in the DirectPlay assistent it doesn't find my PC (with USB-tethering Desire).

Mods,

I think that the greater part of the XDA community would agree that with the release of Gingerbread and the recent 3.70 OTA we are going to be seeing a lot of clutter in the forums specifically the development forums. I myself have found that it is getting harder and harder each day to sort through all of the new stuff that the developers are putting out there for us. Would it be possible to have sub-forums in the development forum dedicated to AOSP Roms/kernels, another sub-forum for Sense Roms/kernels, and another sub-forum for modifications and hacks?

I feel like this would give the community a better opportunity at seeing everything that these developers put all their hard work into and would eliminate the clutter in the forum. Just a suggestion. :)
