[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
i respect your opinion. however, i dont really agree with it. as far as notification goes. i do get notification on my facebook icon and twitter whenever i am on the net and there is something new. i dont see how is that flawed. does it look better on android ? probably. mainly because you have a have widgets that can everything together in one place while iphone users.

as far the browsing. nothing beats the IOS there. regardless if how the method is being used to render the page. the smooth scrolling and zooming are much better on an ios over android. even when i want to click on something so small while i am browsing on the iphone, it never misclicked. god knows how many times i try to click on page 2 while i am browsing the images and it click on the word "advance " beneath page number 2. the android browsing is lacking. and i think firefox on android does a better job than the stock browser. but still not that good.

however, i do have to agree with you on the choices android gives the user. the iphone is a locked device. unless u wana jailbreak it, then you will play a cat and mouse game with apple.
[Nexus S General] Xandlinger:
Nicely said.

I owned the first generation iPhone and loved it to death, then promptly bought the iPhone 3G and then the iPhone 3GS. However, these choices were mainly because Alaska does not have as many choices as other states when it comes to phones. When I heard one of my carriers was getting the HTC Desire, I jumped ship and switched. I was getting too tired of the same exact UI, no innovation in that front.

When I switched.. jesus, it was a breath of fresh air. I could change the UI daily if I wanted to from Cyanogen w/ ADW Launcher, to HTC Sense or MIUI. The choices that Android provide (or should I say the community) are amazing.

If the iPhone 5 comes out and it still has the same 3.5" screen and UI, I will pass it up. 3.5" is too small now that I have used 3.7", yes, there is a huge difference. And now a 4" screen, imo 4.3" is too large, though.

He's not even talking about widgets. Learn how to read. He explained very clearly why android's notification system is vastly superior to the popups on icrap.
[Nexus S General] MaybachMan:
Actually, that's something I don't like about Android. Google should have included a setting to turn that off, it drives me 'round the bend.
[Nexus S General] suhas_sm:
Nailed it !!
[Nexus S General] darkoroje:
iOS does not treat Web pages as a big image and does not re-render as you zoom in. The tiles you sometimes see is because that part of the page has not been rendered yet.

I would agree that Android is better for power users and gives the user a lot of flexibility. However, for ordinary user iOS is probably better and certainly easier to use.
[Nexus S General] robstunner:
You can turn in off in the browser settings
[Nexus S General] MaybachMan:
Really? I was under the impression you had to install a patch.

Forgive my noobish comment, I'm mainly here to learn about things before I get my DHD next month :p

[Nexus S General] tommyz2kool:
Of course it treats it as a big image. What do you think a tile is?
[Nexus S General] tommyz2kool:
just because the mac cult and their turtle necked overlord says icrap is the best thing since sliced bread doesnt mean it is.

I owned an icrap 3G for a year and my N1 kicked the poop out of my icrap.
[Nexus S General] ravidavi:
Careful. Many, many mac users (myself included) are using it because the MacOS represents to us a freedom of use (with its UNIX underpinnings) and a proper, well-laid-out operating system that wasn't available with the alternative. Not because we adore Steve Jobs. And for the very same reasons, I love Android and don't care for iOS.

I'm not trying to turn this into Mac vs Windows flamewar. Just asserting that it's not necessarily the "mac cult" that buys iOS. Just call it the "iCult" or something. :)

dont bother much man. this kid is a retarded fanboy
[Nexus S General] kyleds:
Bought my wife an ipad for Christmas, ios is great. Very simple to use, stable and great build quality.

But reasons I personally like android better is having more than just that one home button. Quality of apps may be higher on ios but so are the prices, unless you jailbreak. Flash player. Tethering internet, not sure if iPhone can do this. You can customize how you want your phone to look with all those great builds by the devs. Also, your not stuck with one company's phone design.
[Nexus S General] mr.suff:
I haven't read the whole thread, but I thought I may as well add my 2 pennies worth.

Being a Mac user for as long as I can remember, I bought the first iPhone... and the one after... and the one after that, now I have iPhone 4.

For me it just works. It's easy and intuitive and that's what I need in a phone, to be functional all the time.

Yes, I understand that Android can do the whole intuitive thing too.

As for screens, the ppi on the iPhone 4 screen is amazing, it looks like print.

The colours are not as saturated as the Super AMOLED, I own a Samsung Omnia 7 too, can't call me a fanboy now!

I prefer the S-AMOLED, the size if perfect for a mobile device, and the colours are better. The iPhone screen is now too small, I've had some better cake and I want more.

Seriously, you can have all the pixels you want, but I'm not going to be consuming entire novels on this thing. I use the internet for chunks of information, a quick in-out and back to what I was doing.

I have a Dell Streak, which I intend to update to a Nexus S asap, I love the size of the display, it is brilliant for mobile web browsing, the reason that I bought it. I felt let down with the software though. 1.6 was buggy and slow, the O2 2.1 update brought with it some new features and a little speed but still wasn't perfect. With 2.2 it, in my eyes is now usable and pretty quick. Something that is in my books what a mobile device should be. I had a HTC Desire earlier this year, but didn't feel ready to jump ship from iOS. Too much money on apps and the fact that I had, naively, managed to crash the device a fair few times in the days after I got it.

As I see it, being the open development platform, of sorts, Android is better than iOS purely on the basis that you can do pretty much whatever you want with it. Looks, features, you name it, it's there for you.

iOS on the other hand is a kind of a 'my first smartphone'. No matter what you do with it it'll still be there for you, unless you jailbreak and then, well you caused it.

As for the Nexus S, back on topic, I'm hoping that stock Gingerbread can swing me around to Android full time. I'm ready to make the jump, and I figure that I'm in a position to be able to cope with whatever pitfalls I cause through rooting etc.

At the end of the day though, people will use what they feel most comfortable with, nobody is right, nobody is wrong. Both systems have strong sales and hopefully both will mature into better devices for all.
[Nexus S General] jroid:
Ppl saying that the iPhone with better hardware would be better than android. That's an oxymoron. Hardware has little to do with the OS itself and how it runs. In my opinion, ios is very boring and... well, just boring. Having better hardware isn't gonna justify that. Apple can build with better hardware but that's nothing the current lead hardware vendors don't do for android already. Actually 3rd party vendors do it better for android because they're open to push the limits for a device how they see fit, because its an open platform. Since the smartphone market is booming, vendors are giving consumers what they want, which is bigger better faster and much more powerful and efficient android phones. With android evolving to a revolutionary stage with each release, with its openness and with the power vested in oems to make better hardware for the open source platform , there literally is no limit as to what can be accomplished. As tech evolves, oems have the freedom to adopt it into mobile phones. With the choice of an OS, their decision will boil down to an open platform with no boundaries as to what they can do other than limitations on compatibility on the OS itself (which they can port). This is why open source always wins and why android is already winning and will continue to dominate the smartphone market over not only apple, but rim and Microsoft as well. In other words, android > ios > bb os > windows phone.

[Nexus S General] meetagrawal:
Yes because comparing a year old phone with a 2 year old phone is quite fair...
[Nexus S General] IpodLover77:
bought the nexus s today. pretty nice phone. unfortunately, i bought it with the intent to return it before my 30 days (no 3G is a deal breaker).

Phone feels surprisingly good in hand. While the phone is really nice, even if it had NAM 3G bands, i doubt i would have given up my iphone 4 for it. I have my reasons on why i would stick with my iphone.

i do have a problem with people calling the phone "icrap" or the only reason people get it is to be cool or be in the in crowd. I find that to be extremely close minded thing to say. Its like you guys are saying that if a person prefers an iphone than he/she is stupid and just want it as a fashion accessory. hard to believe but there are areas where the iphone excels...

its not as if i didn't have my share of android devices. g1, captivate (x4), nexus one, nexus s, moment, desire, but i still prefer the iphone. does this make me stupid?

btw. retina samoled is ALL preference. i really dislike it when people talk like they speak for everybody. not everybody feels that samoled is >>>>>> all.
[Nexus S General] robstunner:
It's all personal preference. All these phones can do 99% of what the other can do, its just how you want it done that makes one phone better than then other (for you). I just picked up a Nexus S that replaced an iPhone 4 and while I personally feel that the Nexus S is better, I already have that urge for iOS. However, that urge will be fixed when the new iPad comes out :)
[Nexus S General] Smartenup:
The best reason yet, as to the pissing contest. Android rock Apple baby!
[Nexus S General] RogerPodacter:
But android browser does not function this way. It's a trade off. The android browser is doing things behind the scenes that the iPhone browser is not, such as treating all text keeping it in memory to resize on demand. IPhone browser does not do this.

There are many things like this that the android browser does to add functionality at the cost of smoothness, and the iPhone browser does not but is smoother. So its a trade off you have to make.

Personally I'd take the android way due to It's superior functionality. It's impressive what android browser is able to do for a mobile device.
[Nexus S General] ranxoren:
That is EXACTLY how i feel lol. Loving my Nexus S but miss some of the aspects of iOS starting with AirPlay.

Dear forum members,

This thread is closed, see new here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=898900

I successfully created the following two (2) WP7 ROM nbh images for the Mozart device branded as Htc Orange / Telstra:

1. For those with Orange operator and version 1.20.061.03_Radio_5.50.09.18_22.24.50:

... The imgfs has been exchanged with that of Telstra operator and version 1.23.841.05_Radio_5.50.09.18_22.24.50

... so that your radio, spl and xip remains the same as the original.

... You can go back by flashing your original Orange operator and version 1.20.061.03_Radio_5.50.09.18_22.24.50.

... Download link:

... To be reuploaded in order to include the model picture.

2. For those with Telstra operator and version 1.23.841.05_Radio_5.50.09.18_22.24.50:

... The imgfs has been exchanged with that of Orange operator and version 1.20.061.03_Radio_5.50.09.18_22.24.50

Flashing is as simple as that:

Set the device in boot loader mode

- From power on, press power off and hold volume down and wait up to tricolor screen be displayed. Release volume down.

- From power off, press power on and hold volume down and wait up to tricolor screen be displayed. Release volume down.

Connect it to your laptop/PC with a USB cable and double click on the provided ROMUpdateUtility.exe

Follow the on screen instructions as usual.

Working extensively on XPH compression - decompression windows phone 7 module and getting closer.

As a matter of fact only S003 is still no hacked.

I have seen a few threads asking for USB drivers and it's not that hard finding them if you're running stock. Just update the SDK.

No idea why they decided to put them in a different folder, but they exist.

Hope this helps someone.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lazerfingers:
Essentially the situation is that about a week ago I rooted my new glacier phone using the Terminal Emulator method outlined in this post .

Everything worked fine, my phone was rooted and worked perfectly.

A few days ago I decided that i needed to clean up my phone because my SD card was full. I went about deleting files and folders which I thought were simply images taken from my camera and audio / video files. Obviously I made a mistake and deleted something I shouldn't have because immediately following the "clean up" I typed su into my Android terminal and was greeted with the response:

"link_image[1995]: failed to link su CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE"

Since then I've tried several things to get my root privileges back, including:

Factory Resetting the Phone

Rerunning the same procedure I used to gain root in the first place

I tried and failed to simply flash a new ROM to the phone, whenever I go into recovery and apply a .zip I get the error: "Can't open /sdcard/zipfile.zip (bad) Installation Aborted"

The Super user app does tell me that there is an update that it needs to apply, I have a gut feeling that it's trying to fix the error that I made in deleting whatever file I deleted. But when I try to apply the update the Super user app tells me to apply the update in recovery mode. When i go into recovery mode to apply the zip I get the same errors reported above.

My s=off currently so I can't get stock OTA updates and my "su" privileges are not working so I'm stuck in a bit of a limbo. Not sure where to turn at this point and would greatly appreciate any and all advice from the Android Dev Community.

Cheers!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjs81:
How about restoring your original backup via clockwork? It only backs up the phones flash, not the sd card though.

Not sure what superuser would need from the sd card.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smirkis:
Sounds like u should have just reinstalled superuser. If u still have s off, download maybe iced glacier Rom and flash it thru Rom manager. Usually comes pre everything
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lazerfingers:
I'll certainly try your advice but I'm 90% sure that I'm gonna run into the problem that even though my phone is s=off, for all intensive purposes it isn't rooted because I can't run any programs that require su permissions.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lazerfingers:
Thanks for your advice. I tried it and sure enough Iced Glacier installed without a hitch.

If you're a noob like me and you're reading this useful thread:

fastboot is part of the android sdk. Install it, browse to it with ms-dos and you're set.

Also, save the .img file to your PC in the same folder as fastboot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
Seriously, download, extract, run. Tick the Hboot box, click begin. Select the bravo_n1table.img file, open it and let it do it's work. Take about 30 seconds to install and then boot into bootloader to verify the Hboot image. You can use this utility for other things like splash, recovery, boot animation and radio.

Saves you having to fart around with typing in commands all the time.
