I love most things about this phone. It needs a camera button and possibly a better screen(more pixels). Smoother screen rotation. Also a better door. That's all I ask for Santa :)

from my EVO using XDA app.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlGmanlx:
camera as well, i know its all software but i wish that google would invest some serious time/effort/money into tightening up their camera software, its embarrasing
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :

THISSS. you cant see anyones faces in my christmas pictures..

oh and i cant forget THE DUST UNDER THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE SCREEN. (small but effects a good amount of evos!)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notasimpleway:
The camera does need an overhaul. In low light the LED should come on to assist with the focus.

As for the GPU, what games are you all playing that don't run well? I play NFS with it running well. And live wallpapers? Smooth as well.

I don't like the power button on top. It is awkward. Makes it hard to turn the screen on/off with one hand.

The battery life is acceptable. You can't buy a 5.0L V8 Ford Mustang and expect 1.5L 4-cylinder Honda Civic gas mileage. YMMV.

Also, I rubbed it and didn't get any wishes.

I love the battery life.

I love the smooth video.

I love the live wallpaper.

I love playing NES games with a Wii Remote.

I love 1700+ Quadrant scores.

I love my phone...

My only qualm is that people keep trying to CALL me on it. WTF??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Award Tour:
What is run well? Most games run okay with occasional choppiness, just not buttery smooth like on the newer GPUs. Compare NOVA or Dungeon Defenders on a SGS/NS and the EVO, the difference is very obvious.

90% of the live wallpapers are smooth, but once on, anything that animates on top of the home screen is choppy as hell - like the icon zoom in/out effect in Launcher Pro, the transition animation when opening a menu or application. It's annoying. Some may live with it but if it is going to drain a little more battery, I'd want it to be 100% smooth.

This isn't some well kept secret, or something that only some EVO's experience. All Adreno 200 GPU powered phones (Sony Experia(?), Droid Incredible, Nexus, Desire, etc.) run like that. The EVO is no exception.

Chips (CPU, GPU, radios, etc.) get more powerful, smaller, and power efficient all the time. The newer Qualcomm CPUs are more powerful and don't use any more energy than the old ones since they are smaller (65nm vs. 45nm).

+1 on the Dust issue. That is the only thing I hate about my EVo. I have the 0004 version with the upgraded camera and the pictures are ALOT better. Can't really wait till they get the codes for it cause I can use different kernals and overclock my ****. haha
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crakerjaks:
Terrible wifi connection. Light leakage and screen sepration on both my evos. Radioshack sucks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lacrossev:
1. Smidge of dust on upper right hand corner of screen

2. Battery life, but that gets better and better as i experiment

3. The camera as well as the flash, although the flash works great as a flashlight on high mode, i always blind people when i bust it out hahaha.

4. A2DP: no matter what i do the A2DP seems to need LOS or it starts skipping, a little annoying so i don't bother using it anymore.

Overall though, wouldn't trade it for any device currently out or announced, due to the form factor and screen size.

The camera.

I know it is capable of taking good pictures because if I tweak the settings enough the pictures come out great. Problem is, it usually takes me 5 minutes of tweaking and 10-20 pictures before I get a good one. The auto setting is crap, never get even usable pictures.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdh10475:
I would not say that is a known issue but I have seen that on a lot of early production 02 and 03 Evo's some even make an annoying clicking sound also. I had your issue and the clicking sound..... My vibrate stopped working and I got a new Evo.;)

Crappy data speeds I get sometimes on 3G when I KNOW that my speeds should be faster... especially while showing full signal, yet only doing .75 mbps down... annoying.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live2ride96:
I wouldn't say I necessarily HATE anything, but if I had to pick my least favorite things, I'd say the camera (which is more of a flaw of current sensor technology than the Evo itself), or the viewing angles of the screen.

I love my Evo except.........

For a phone in this price class, the camera sucks bigtime! Changed phones because of this, but no relief from the grief. And the blue twin LED flash is too bright, even with one blocked off. Plus it tints ALL photos.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mark_Hardware:
This. Excellent comparison.

The flash can be a bit annoying. I mean, I'm stoked to actually have a flash, that seems to be a luxury item these days. I just use my pc to clean the pics up.

My serious complaint would be the video. I simply cannot take a smooth video. Every single video I take with this phone will have jerks and pauses in it. Sucks.

Simply an expression on how happy I am with EVO and Android platform and how I wouldn't change a thing.. all based on factual 20+yrs experience with other platforms, mobile, desktop and server related and not rumors.

I really hope that htc makes this a staple of their lineup and refresh the tech. This format factor is a homerun
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [Vann]:
Coming from a WinMo phone (Treo 800w and later an HTC Touch PRO) this is a major upgrade. World of difference in everything. This is one badass phone.

I have no major issues with it. My biggest 'nuisance' is the placement of the 3.5mm headphone jack. I wish they had it located on the bottom of the phone instead of on top.

Other than that, it would've been nice to have an AMOLED screen and faster gpu and whatnot, but meh. I'm happy with what I got.

... Until those dualcore phones get released lol.

Cisco's cius will have anyconnect support when they finally release their tablet.. originally was supposed to come out in dec but now its pushed to march. this should allow an anyconnect client for android.

sure, there is basic vpn support already built into android, but as a cisco only guy.. this doesnt suffice very well when i have two seperate vpn networks setup on ASAs.. and thats just at my house. :)

once the cius is released though, im sure we will find real vpn support.

No complaints here. It took a little while to find the right rom/kernel. But this phone is really.....perfect...for me that is. Myns rom...awesome...sbc netarchy 4.2.1 cfs more havs smartass...superfast phone and 18 plus hours battery life. Camera is quite good...for a phone. Remember its still a phone. Stop trippin. Button placement a little awkward at first but now its feels normal. Now I love flashing roms and kernels and stuff. But the phone should run like mine does now stock. Weird htc doesnt set it up to run fast with great battery life when alot of us know that it can. The flash is a little bright. But it is an awsome flashlight..which I use way more than I ever thought I would..more than the camera!!! Overall its awesome and I love it...once my upgrade comes I might not even switch. What more can they do but improve 3D games. Which I do not play on the phone.. Sorry got a PS3 and a PC for that...plus psfmod recovery...man I love this phone...:)

they really ought to change the power/volume keys with metal, make it a more solid feeling, fix the battery life, put a better gpu inside. By the time the evo 2 comes out, I'll be expecting dual-core, ddr2 (or even ddr3), probably 1gb of ram, MUCH bigger internal storage, usb 3.0 port, usb trickle charging enabled without rooting, louder speaker (possibly stereo), nfc chip, oled screen at the same size, with a better resolution, upgraded cam (10mp) and upgraded front cam(2mp, maybe 3), noise-cancelling dual-mics, microsd card slot that is ABOVE the battery ports (This is SOO annoying), infrared lighting for nightvision on both the front and back cameras, stronger kickstand hinge (so that it stays in place better), new version of sense, and by then honeycomb should be out (and on the Evo2.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] housry23:
Really for today's standards the EVO is top notch. This technology is on the rise big time and will grow exponentially by the time you are eligible for an upgrade. There are a few things that bug me about the EVO that I deal with on a daily basis, but don't really bother me too bad because this is by far the best phone I have ever had. The one thing I think they should have done is have a physical Camera button. That is probably my biggest complaint about the Evo and it really isn't much. Believe me coming from the MyTouch 3g 3.5mm, the EVO compared to it is like my Phenom II x4 compared to my dads AMD Sempron.

Thanks to rstuckmaier for the haptic feedback turn-off. I've never had a phone with only soft keys so I've never had to deal with haptic feedback. When it's off, it's awesome.

The only thing I don't like is the battery life, which will be fixed when I get a bigger battery and/or play with roms/kernals.

Otherwise, I have no problems. The camera is good enough, the camcorder does well enough (I've got 4 videos on youtube, no problems with quality) and the hardware is amongst the best. The screen is fantastic (coming from 3.7 inches really makes a difference). I'm also a big fan of the form factor (this is my first non-keyboard android phone).

I just got mine yesterday and have drained the battery six times playing with it, but I can't wait to root and play with it some more :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stargaterules:
I also second the better battery life in the next evo instance and agree with whoever posted earlier that it's so easy to randomly open apps or scroll on your screens when you hold the phone because evo is so sensitive.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Behemot:
Hello,

I'm trying to make a little app made of several screens (say from 1 to 5).

When the application is launched, it will display screen 1, and users will be able to go to screen 2 by clicking on 'Next', then 3, and so on. They will also be able to go back.

To improve user-friendliness, I want to make those different screens slide. I saw some software doing it smoothly, so it should be possible.

So I tried to do the same, using a panel wider than the screen and changing his 'Left' attribute. But the result was very bad (it's CPU-killing and it's not smooth at all). I've enclosed the project if someone wants to have a look.

My question is: How I can get these screens slide smoothly?

P.S.: I saw two SDKs making nearly what I want (XFControl and SliderList), but it seems that one screen have to be parent of the other, and that's not what I want

Should I sell my galaxy s and get an nexus s?

Has anyone else done this and been happy with the change?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] veay:
I was also thinking about doing so. But I also don't know.

There arent so many differences, are there? Display (no gorilla), LED flash camera, and I think lots of updates in the future for the nexus s.. hmm..

I live in Germany, the Nexus S is not yet available here. The price of Nexus S is also important for me. I don't want to pay more than 70-80€ after selling my Galaxy S.

But I heard the Nexus S will cost about 500€ here.. so don't know..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] phillipm:
I think the working gps and all the latest google updates first are making me want to change.

Dont like the idea of no gorilla glass.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] w98seeng:
Isn't that what screen protectors are for? I would never not have one on my SGS.

As for selling my SGS and getting a Nexus S, I think the only advantage would be that since the phone is a Google phone and Android is a Google OS, updates would be quicker. I would figure that Google would spend more time and resources on the OS in their own phone.

As for the LED flash, I find that my SGS takes great pics in a dark place. If I need a flash, I will use my Canon SX10.

Here is a small comparison of the two phones.

Nexus S - No Micro-SD card slot

Galaxy S - Micro-SD card slot up to 32Gb

Nexus S - Bluetooth 2.1

Galaxy S - Bluetooth 3.0

Nexus S – No camera smile detection

Galaxy S – Camera smile detection

Nexus S - WVGA (720x480) video

Galaxy S - 720P (1280×720) video

Nexus S – No FM radio

Galaxy S – FM radio

Nexus S – LED Flash

Galaxy S - No LED Flash

Considering the Nexus is a newer phone, it should have had the AMLOED 2 screen and a faster CPU, but since it doesn’t, it basically has the same technology as the older Galaxy S.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] veay:
+1

so, basically our SGS is good enough to remain having it :D

I don't even bother to use screen protectors. Is it that important? I'm using a phone case insead.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bigmo7:
I don't use a screen protector because of the gorilla glass display, imo there's no need.

In reality though, what is the actual difference between 2.1, 2.2, 2.2.1 and Gingerbread (2.3?)? Aren't the differences mostly minor changes?

True.

As for the screen protector, I would never go without one. For the few dollars they cost, why take a chance on scratching it. Gorilla glass or not, it can be damaged.

Besides, when they are free (just pay for shipping, about $3 in the states and $4.50 to Canada) it doesn't make sense to not have one.
