[Galaxy S I9000 General] DamianGto:
For me its easy. Nexus s is not better then sgs.

Just external card is a big must and its very bad that nexus s don't have it.

Then the screen. Wtf.

I would never use a phone with a screen that's not as good as sgs has.

Screen protection?? You must be joking. Why would i ruin the phone with that?

Its like buying a sport car and only drive on Sunday and on first gear.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] arifqur:
Exactly my sentiments.

What were they thinking. No micro-sd card slot is an absolute no brainer. Are they trying to convert Android into windows7 mobile?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Auzy:
You'd lose so much money in the process for 2 phones which were released within 6 months, you'd be throwing away money. If you have plenty of money, go for it.

But otherwise, the changes aren't significant..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Spudsicles:
So these Stealth Guards are free... you just have to pay the shipping apparently. I hope this is right cause I just ordered two.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Prasad:
The Nexus S might be a worth upgrade for Desire owners, or those people having lower-end phones. Not so much of an upgrade for SGS owners for sure! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aurangzeb:
yeah...for me i will not waste my money for that nexus s...it is same for me to downgrade the phone..for me..i will wait for next year..2011 is a bunch of crazy phone.from what i heard,samsung is develop another galaxy s using dual core.is it true or not,i`m waiting for it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] w98seeng:
Wrong analogy. Your sports car analogy would be like using my phone on Sundays and only for making calls.

What about buying a new car and having the underbody rust proofed? Protect the part of the car that gets the most abuse.

You use the screen every-time you use your phone. It is the one part of the phone that gets touched, pressed, swiped, pushed, etc. I wouldn't want my nice clear screen to have scratches all over it. IMHO

Ian
[Galaxy S I9000 General] melorib:
Agree... :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DamianGto:
You did not understand the point.

The screen on the sgs don't get scratched. If you do succeed with that you doings something very bad.

And with a screen protection you loose the clarity of the screen. You also get the screen less responsive.

I had my sgs almost from the start.

A have dropped it. It has flying over the floor. And alot of things that note good for the phone.

Still the screen is like new.

Not a scratch.

Most of other phone i had in my life, after 6 month they always had some scratch on them.

Even the iphones....

The screen on the sgs is scratch profe.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] mammenj:
Thanks for the excellent comparison, short and sweet.

I will stick with galaxy s :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] w98seeng:
Hey, I don't understand a lot of stuff, what's new here? :D

I have heard about people scratching their screen, so I guess I'm am a bit paranoid of scratching mine since I paid $500 for it. I would like not to as I find that the smudges from my fingers are a bit annoying.

As for the phone being less responsive to tough or losing clarity, I don't really find that applicable to mine.

Ian
[Galaxy S I9000 General] w98seeng:
Glad I could help.

[HD7 General] ndipol:
Hello Evrybody;

I need help about the quality of the phtos? I know that the overall quality of the camera from the HD7 is not very good. But at least i think i don't must have blurry photos.

Did you have any experience about the quality of the photos ?

If someone can tell me if the Hd7 camera is so bad that I can't have sharp photo, it will confirms that i make a bad choice.

BR
[HD7 General] FiyaFleye:
Be sure that you barely press the button so that it focuses on your picture, and then click to take it. I've noticed if you take the picture without allowing it to focus it's blurry 99% of the time...
[HD7 General] Rouz.:
Don't shoot photos in dim light, try to go for bright places. You can also use the "sports" mode under "scenes" ...

Hold the phone with two hands while taking photos, and try to keep it in front of your chest rather than holding it with straight arms, to minimize the hand movement.

Hope these helps.
[HD7 General] ruscik:
The light button press, wait and stronger press is the correct way.

A short cut if you take more then one photo, after first photo if it is blurry or if what you see on the screen is blurry just move your hand in front of camera fast.

It will detect movement and re-focuss.
[HD7 General] tfn:
Yeah agree with the others I thought the camera was ****ty, untill I fugured out you had to half press the button to focus and then click full way to take the snap.

Still the camera is not the best, as far away subjects still appear blurish and rubbish in dim light as well.. I wish they update the software or something
[HD7 General] Jim Coleman:
Please remember that photo quality will always depend on the size of the lens, the aperture, the CCD sensitivity etc. There is a reason why good quality cameras have big lenses. Have a look at the lense on your phone's camera. See how small it is? How much light do you think actually gets through that tiny hole? And that little pinprick of light is supposed to illuminate the entire sensor array and flood it with enough light to create a picture? Exposure times with such small apertures are horrendous, especially in low lighting, and it's no wonder pictures come out blurry because you are moving the camera the whole time it's taking the picture. Even your breathing moves the camera. That's why people use tripods in low light.

In all seriousness, people need to be more realistic with their expectations of phone cameras. While they remain so small, they will always yield awful pictures, and will only ever be a poor substitute for when you don't have your proper camera to hand.

The best you can do to mitigate the problems is as follows;

1) You're going to have to use the flash in low light

2) Try to get as much ambient lighting on the subject as possible

3) If you can steady the phone on any surface to help keep it stable, do so

4) Remember that half-press to focus on your subject before the full-press to take the photo

5) Try your hardest to keep the phone ABSOLUTELY STILL while taking the photo. Breath out very slowly while depressing the button as softly and imperceptibly as you can

6) Don't use the zoom. It's a digital zoom rather than optical, so all it does is crop the picture, giving you a lower resolution

Remember with a phone you have no control over ISO, Aperture or Shutter Speed so your options are, well, non-existent.

If you really care about taking good photos, try to have your proper camera handy as much as possible.
[HD7 General] gustavoa:
Crappy Camera

First of all I have an HTC-HD2 and recently bought an HTC-HD7.

I don't know if it is a software issue but the photos taken by the HD7 camera are really crap. I have a HD2 running android and the photos taken now are really sharp and beautiful. Even under WM 6.5 the photos turned up really nice. I think the HD7 hardware is similar to the HD2 so it must be a software issue. Anyway the resulting photos in the HD7 are pure crap, no matter if you use 3 hands to hold the camera or lightning conditions. This issue makes the HD7 experience a dissapointing one.
[HD7 General] Jim Coleman:
Are you half-depressing the camera button to get focus lock first? Then pressing it all the way to take the photo? If not, it's no wonder your photos are blurry. If you are, see my previous post, above.
[HD7 General] ndipol:
many thanks

Hello everybody

first I will thank you all for your help

for conclusion I will say that HTC must rework this part from the software. Wonder if they know all the problems that we have.

We will see in the next month if they change something.

bye bye
[HD7 General] eternalemb:

My pictures come out fine just gotta focus, change the settings for appropriate lighting. It would be easier if there was an on-screen button to take the pic

[Hero CDMA General] AspenTree:
Hey everyone back again with another poll for 2011 results on January 1st, 2011 of what ROM is the fastest ROM period. We ARE NOT talking battery life or anything else just PURE PERFORMANCE. So post your your vote by stating:

- what ROM you are using

- what kernal

- overclock speed

- JIT or No JIT

- and any other things you may have applied to get peak performance from the HTC Hero
[Hero CDMA General] cordell12:
Umm Really? In Development?

Let the Flames Begin!!!!
[Hero CDMA General] oohaylima:
Yea. Definitely wrong section bro. Throw this in the general section.

Does the user have the option to close a thread?
[Hero CDMA General] sirmx:
Me first!!

You can download ROMs from the Market now? :confused:

Mod alerted asking to be moved to General. /sigh.
[Hero CDMA General] user7618:
INDEED! *gets out fire extinguisher*
[Hero CDMA General] il Duce:
the BEST part of this threads location is that it was actually MOVED here, into development!!! from themes and apps!!!! WTF.
[Hero CDMA General] AspenTree:
when I get on my laptop later ill move it into general section lol sorry I can not delete the threads on my phone lol
[Hero CDMA General] andythegreenguy:
I think you are better off with whatever ROM you have right now... atleast till you learn to read.
[Hero CDMA General] pulser_g2:
Not according to the logs, which say it was originally posted here...
[Hero CDMA General] AspenTree:
okay after getting the moving and deleting situated its time to get this show on the road....i'll kick it off

after trying damagecontrol, fresh 2.4.0, and liquidsense 2.1 stable my vote goes to.....

ROM - LiquidSense 2.1 Stable

Kernal - Zen's AnyKernel with no Perflock

JIT - N/A

Other Performance Additions - N/A

this by far is the fastest in my opinion....if this rom ends up tying with another rom then i'll go into DEEP explanation as to why i think this is the fasest "on the market" in our debate between the top 2 if there ends up being a tie (btw roms are NOT available on the market i'm just saying that as like the fastest rom available lol :D)
[Hero CDMA General] il Duce:
sorry if I missed something, just saw it said "moved" in themes and apps.... still, shouldn't be in either, lol.
[Hero CDMA General] AspenTree:
that thread "was never there" in the themes and apps or in the android development sub forum....what are you talking about? :D

but back to the main topic ;)
[Hero CDMA General] Overstew:
I believe Cyanogenmod with Braninfuct kernel is the fastest. Cyanogenmod has much better Graphic drivers than that of any HTC sense rom, which makes the performance much better.
[Hero CDMA General] AspenTree:
I can respect your opinion so we have two votes now :)
[Hero CDMA General] D3FAULT:
aospMod is easily the fastest ROM I've ever used. Definitely faster than CM6.1, which I've also used. I don't even need to OC it or anything.
[Hero CDMA General] Decad3nce:
It's OC'd by default. lol. Every hero rom with a custom kernel is oc'd.
[Hero CDMA General] D3FAULT:
Correct. I meant not OC'd above what it is by default, which is 691mhz I believe.
[Hero CDMA General] srb7215:
I have used a lot of different ROMs and so far the fastest has been NFX stock ROM. CM6.1 was very nice but had moments of lag. I keep a Nandriod of it because I want it be my ROM of choice but when ever I actually you it, I get frustrated and go back to NFX.
[Hero CDMA General] AspenTree:
that is why I love liquid sense b/c IT IS NFX's stock Rom just otimized by NFX and others to make the Rom as fast as possible
[Hero CDMA General] FdxRider:
-Rom: LiquidSense based off of Nfinite's .7

-Kernel: Decad3nce's #589 w/ SetCPU Max@748-Min@264

-Mods: Supercircle Battery Mod-&-espresso theme
[Hero CDMA General] Heaterz16:
No Rom compares to Aosp 2.2 when it comes to speed and stability.

Side note, I love the sense roms, but no way a sense rom would ever be as fast as a stock rom.

Fastest sense rom: NFX
[Hero CDMA General] Lo N Slo:
AOSP 2.2 is the shizzz.

My phone on CM was super laggy, like couldn't even play the most basic of games.

Haven't changed the kernel at all, but it feels like the best to me.
[Hero CDMA General] :
AOSP 2.2....seems like this rom is in the lead with liquidsense being the runner up..........FOR NOW! keep voting people :D
[Hero CDMA General] suckoos:
Aosp mod I would vote for as well with decadence 768. Fresh 2.4 has been the fastest without any modifications of the ones I've tried, thought I haven't used liquidsense.
[Hero CDMA General] :
two days left to vote.....
[Hero CDMA General] oohaylima:
I vote for AOSP 2.2. I personally use CM6.1 for my daily, but by speed, AOSP has got it beat.
[Hero CDMA General] southpaw13:
I vote for LiquidSense.

I'm using the uncapped 786 kernel and autokiller set at aggressive. Others my have better linpack scores but this one is the most responsive to me.
[Hero CDMA General] ghostboa:
And who are you to request him to close it? Get over yourself.
[Hero CDMA General] :
aosp and liquidsense are close.....LAST DAY TO VOTE!!!!!! :D
[Hero CDMA General] oohaylima:
Not for him, you exasperating assuming-general troll. When this was in the wrong category, I was curious to know if a user can close a thread.

Now I know the word ''the'' threw the intent off a bit, but I was meaning users in general.
[Hero CDMA General] DaWeav:
Well, thanks to this thread, I finally decided to actually flash one of these ROMs instead of just rooting the Sprint OEM Hero.

First, I must say that the ROM Manager app is the bomb when doing stuff like this since it was a simple 1, 2, 3 (flash recovery, backup, flash ROM).

So, since AOSP seemed to be a good 'sense-less' choice, I tried it because I believe the Sense overhead is too much for this hardware. I'm now sporting the sense-less AOSP ROM and it is making want to live with my Sprint Hero for a little while longer, or until I mess it up totally playing with any of these ROMs. But, I will say that I really like the Android 2.2 upgrade since it added Bluetooth voice dialing to my Sprint Hero now...(YEPPI). Also, the stock Sprint Hero ROM would lag on calling and answering calls no matter what stock ROM update I was running, but the Stock ROM will never be as fast as this AOSP ROM for calling and answering calls. The only thing I had to add was the google-apps (easy enough), and Sprint's VMM (Sprint_Core.apk) which I already had from my original ROM.

Anyway, now that I'm running a sense-less ROM, I've come to realize that I wasn't relying on much SenseUI stuff so that will give me more options when selecting my next Android.

Anyone tried to search using a gps coordinate in HTC DHD Locations Navigation like 3.162699,101.607020. There are three different formats and I have used all the formats. It has no problem searching POI or address but sometime friends will send a GPS coordinate to a place that might not have address yet - new housing area that the map has not updated yet.

hi everyone, for those familiar with resco photo viewer on windows, I'm after something similar with android but I just can't find it.

i basically want a photo viewer allows you to search in folders like a PC opposed to loading every image on the sd card which takes ages if you have alot. tried just pictures,3d gallery, dual file manager etc but none perform even close to what resco was like.

anyone using a good photo viewer like what I have described?
[Android Apps and Games] kwankl:
QuickPic (Picture Folder)

search "picture folder" in appbrain.
[Android Apps and Games] rexboy:
cheers for the quick reply, I've tried it & its not bad, simple to use etc, just wish you could search via folders instead of it displaying every single folder. I've got near100 albums ranging from birthdays etc & it even displays operating system folders like icons etc which most don't want to see, wish it could exclude those ones. this would make browsing between folders much faster opposed to scrolling through every folder.
[Android Apps and Games] kwankl:
you can select "Hide folder" by long press on the folder
[Android Apps and Games] rexboy:
cheers for that, used exclude as well, works a treat :-)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Proz00:
hey

1.

just use system panel to kill "ALL" processes include system process

then its will be back to normal mA

[well its better then restarting the phone no ?]

2.

Forgetting to disable bt or gps in winmobile

can cause that too

3.

remove with titanium backup CSPeopleSyncService [ thx to fruchtfliege ]

dont like apps that cant be controlled and do what they like

4. same apps make drain more in standby i think cos its not really full standby

5. unmount sdcard when u gonna "put ur phone to sleep"

[this one should help a lot but in testing for 8 hours gonna try it on nites]
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] orangekid:
that doesn't always work, if you don't isolate the cause then the app will re-open itself at times.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fruchtfliege:
as i mentioned in some other threads, the 60ma bug is caused by the process "CSPeopleSyncService". you can kill this process as you wrote, or just disable syncing facebook and google contacts in options. at least i sync them once a day automatically (don't want to loose the sync feature), and the 60ma bug never came back...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lukesan:
Might be a nOOb question but how do you kill that CSPeopleSyncService process?

I've been suffering from this 6mA for a couple of minutes and going to 60mA thing. Rebooting 'might' work but I don't want to monitor the consumption every hour.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
If you don't feel like disabling sync, Quick Reboot (free in market) is a good alternative. Some builds have hot rebooting built-in, even easier.

Back in the game in less than 30 seconds, as opposed to the rather lengthy full reboot.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lukesan:
LoL just downloaded it. It really says what it does. Click it and the device reboots without a single warning.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fruchtfliege:
the best way is a taskkiller. i'm using systempanel light (included in mdj hd builds), where you can add programs and processes to ignore list. but as i said, changing sync to once a day fixed my problem with 60ma in standby completely! i don't know why ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
I think he meant fast reboot. It just kills everything so it's as if you've just rebooted (sort of).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
No, I mean Quick Reboot. I'm still not convinced this battery drain is caused by certain processes, so Fast Reboot isn't an option imo.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
Fair enough. So you just mean reboot then. Ah well.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
No, it's hot rebooting: basically only rebooting Android (it's a little more complex than that).

I used to do regular reboots but they take way longer.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jcsy:
im suffering from this in Desire HD build

wanna kill this permanently without quick reboot (since my ROM is not Deodex) completely.

disabling sync? its all "disabled"
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] scariola:
You all might try a different SD card, had the 30ma bug, was 60. Changed micro SD card, re loaded android, now 3-7ma
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JesusFreak316:
Just saying, I reboot using dev tools: bad behavior-> crash system server. Probably not the cleanest way to do it but it works. :p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] KrewsialNL:
Where did 'find' this information?

Without background sync enabled and facebook not even installed it can draw up to 60mA.

I'm not sure it's that single process causing the drain to be honest.

(Please don't take this the wrong way :) )
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jiggs1337:
For me I think it is after I turn on WiFi and then back off again. It never goes back to 7ish mA. It stays at around 65mA as if WiFi was still on.

I'm using darkstone SuperRAM FroYo v1.5.
