[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
I pretty much agree with this post. Either way--iOS or Android--I'd definitely wait until the next model (Tegra-based Android or iPhone 5).

I attend a fairly large school (around 20,000 students) and have yet to see another Nexus One. It is nice to be different. :)

Also, although screen size is certainly personal preference, the 3.5" iPhone screen is starting to look a bit cramped compared to 4/4.3" screens. Having used the 3.5" iPhone 3G, the 3.7" Nexus, and the 4" Samsung Vibrant (each for several months or more), I can say that an extra half inch or more can make quite a bit of difference.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shivammcool:
Yeh I guess.

I like being the only one with a nexus.

If I have to wait for the next Gen phone I might not have enough money. I could get an unlocked or Rogers (yeah I'm in Canada) iphone 4 for a cheap price.

And think about it, the next gen might not be that good. When I was going to by the n1 people was telling me to wait for the iPhone 4 or other phones but little did they no that the n1 could rival with the best phones that are out now
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dancat:
I will try to help you a little since i have both phones.

Nexus One:

- goods:

- Android with all it comes (easy to customize, real multi tasking between applications, widgets, etc)

- bigger screen

- easy to install custom ROM's

- a lot of applications (most of them free or with free versions)

- good network signal

- you can use it as USB mass storage

- good picture quality

- Flash support in browser

- text re-flow support in browser

- good music player

- music sounds better than on the iPhone

- bads:

- sometimes it becomes sluggy, it feels like it needs a restart.

- with the default firmware, the ringtone sound is a little weak. There are situations when you will not hear it (ie: when it is in your pocket in its case and there is some noise around).

iPhone4:

- cons:

- very nice design

- a lot of applications (most of them not free)

- good battery life

- front camera

- good quality for pictures and movies

- good music player

- bads:

- connection problems (yes it is true, if you are not holding it right you will have signal loses and calls dropped)

- you will have to use iTunes for everything (you can not copy music or films on the device and just play them, you have to synchronize them through iTunes)

- you can not use the device as USB mass storage

- no real multi tasking. For a lot of games or applications if you get out of it to check something else, when you go back it will start again.

- very intrusive notification system. They always are in your way. If you are playing a game or reading a website and a notification pops up you are interrupted. And as i said above, this makes some application to restart from the beginning

- the default internet browser misses flash support and text re-flow

- the camera interface has no settings (you can not stop the sound, change the picture format, or anything else)

- no file browser

- the settings interface looks for me more complicated than on Android

- the sound quality is not that good

Of course, everything above reflects my personal experience and opinions. You can always search on google for some comparisons and choose whatever you thinks it is better for you.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wondercoolguy:
Apple products in general are Fad products they aren't superior but stupid ppl pay almost triple the price so they can be seen with one. Android has its problems but Iphone IMO has more. That being said as soon as Verizon releases their iphone all the sheepies will run right off the ledge to get one.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shivammcool:
Tru, but the iphone is also good in some ways too.

I moved up from a 3GS to a n1.

The nexus is more custimizable and fun to use it

IPhone 4 is more professional. It looks and feels better. The ui may be boring but it just works. The apps are very professional made even the farting apps
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msavic6:
Yea but android has only recently started getting attention from big iPhone developers. Most apps for iPhone are made for the 3g,3gs and iPhone 4 while on android the game/app has to work perfectly on 40+ phones or the developer gets an ear-full because the app/game wont work on their g1 or some fake device.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd00:
I personally don't know how anyone can consider moving to iPhone after getting used to Android.

[Rant Start]

When you find yourself annoyed at the boring / dysfunctional home screen & despise the notification system (blue frickin popup my god!) and - wait for it - being FORCED to install ITUNES (total crapware IMO - I hate HATE it) to register / sync etc and best of all, realise you can't bluetooth that ringtone / song etc to/from ya mates, you may see some sense.

[Rant End]

Android forever

or until Win Phone 7 gets copy+paste, proper multi tasking & much more apps - or - some one pays me to use another device :)

Ps, I don't hate Apple / iPhone altogether, 2 things they do right...

1. Hardware - it is very good, no doubt.

2. Marketing - they could sell sand to the Arabs!

Pps, I detest iTunes & the forced use of - this is the number 1 reason I will never own an iPhone.

;)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shivammcool:
Lol sell sand to Arabs.

Yeah I see ya point. I dislike iTunes but I don't hate it. ITunes and having a password makes you phone more protected. I could take Amy android and download apps on it but I need to type in a password like twice a day to download apps.

For me iTunes makes your phone more protected and orginized. I like how ya could orginize the phone on ya computer
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
Unfortunately the iPhone is on XDA now. It has it's own section.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nospin:
Hey guys, while I'm not a vibrant owner someone in the household is and I wanted to help them out before the ota eventually arrives.

Basically they performed the lagfix when they purchased the phone, then installed the maintenance ota over it (accidentally). But when they went to remove the lagfix in prep for froyo, the tool says there is none to remove, yet quadrant reflects otherwise. So there is a lagfix on the phone, what are the options for removing it? Thanks guys.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtone:
which lagfix?

if it's OCLF.. try restoring bootanimation.. also make sure your battery is over 40% any lower than that and 'undo lagfix' will not be accessible.

if it's voodoo.. then use the voodoo toggle in the market

if all else fails ODIN back to JFD (stock)

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Wow... you still didn't answer my question. How are we suppose to give you the rom to reflash if we don't know what rom you flashed in the first place? :confused: I understand that if you want to learn and I'm greatful for that but there are about 200 different types of roms. Some are Sense UI, some aren't. There is about twenty different rom types that are just unrooted stock. Is that what you want? Or do you want root? What firmware? RC-27, RC-29, RC-30, RC-33, Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, FroYo, Gingerbread? You asked us and I'll quote you again...

So... I'll ask again. WHAT ROM DID YOU TRY?

If you can't answer this question then I'll just post any kind of rom, let you figure it out and then lock this thread because it won't go anywhere.

[G2 and Desire Z General] TheBiles:
I wanted to get one before the Nexus S was announced, but I went with the Nexus as soon as it came out. For some reason I'd still like to have one as a secondary phone. Convince me how horrible the G2 is so I won't throw down any more cash.
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidcues:
it is an insult to use the G2 as secondary phone. Thats how good it is and thats why you should dump the plasticky S.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheBiles:
No, damn it! This is not what I want!
[G2 and Desire Z General] samven582:
I will be getting the G2 in a few days and I will be finally dumping my captivate.:D
[G2 and Desire Z General] Vandam500:
Awesome keyboard, beautiful design, extremely fast, highly overclockable, HSPA+, optical trackpad, tons of ROMS and support from developers/community. The G2 IMO is still the best phone on T-Mobile ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheBiles:
You guys are trying to screw me. ~_~

If you wait a little bit longer before you buy it it will have the new firmeware version preinstalled so it will not be rootable.

-> then you dumped your cash
[G2 and Desire Z General] shabbypenguin:
dude its horrible i ditched epic 4g on sprint in dreams of the nexus s, and then it was announced... by then i had grabbed tmobiles cyber monday deal and got the g2. needless to say im still reppin my g2.. but seriously get out, if you want to have other think for you theres a phone for that, switch to att. SJ does an amazing job of telling his customers what they want

::Edit:: really should change my settings from sprint to tmo.. >.>
[G2 and Desire Z General] mmmainland:
I don't think I could go back to a keyboardless phone after using the Desire Z. Would not trade/switch over to Galaxy/HD/NexusS unless you paid me to use it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] blunted09:
the keyboard closes on your ballsack very easily... major crap dont get it!
[G2 and Desire Z General] blunted09:
but i was able to google a doctor quite quickly seeing as how this phone is the fasted phone i have ever used. :|
[G2 and Desire Z General] luis86dr:
So let me get this straight you want someone to help you choose your own device. That's just retarded.

Ive gone from desire to desire z, and it's brilliant
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheBiles:
No, I want you guys to ***** and moan about how unhappy you are so that I'll stop wanting to pick up a G2. Not asking for anyone to think for me--just to influence my opinion in a negative manner. I'm a notorious compulsive buyer, and I want to protect myself.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheBiles:
Oh, and what could I expect to pay for a new or like new G2?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Vandam500:
Around 300 on craigslist
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheBiles:
That's not too bad, but I couldn't muster up $300 cash. I'd have to use eBay or PayPal. Just wondering, but the G2 has a SLCD, right? How does it compare to SAMOLED?
[G2 and Desire Z General] OoTLink:
I'm a good nitpick, I'll try:

* Because it's a slider phone, there's no decent cases for it - the otterbox commuter is just about the closest thing and it makes the phone look like some really bad Chinese iphone ripoff or something. Seriously, every case makes the G2 look retarded and many of them will simply damage the phone over time.

* The bezel is gigantic.

* G2 owners insist the G2 is T-Mobile's flagship - this is not true, the CSRs told me the mt4g is their flagship.

* When the HTC Vision was revealed for Sprint, the Sprint users whined about it. I think the Verizon guys did too. Nobody except us likes this phone..

* There are phones with better reception out there

* The MicroUSB is on the side

* The keyboard is kinda stiff and a little wide (but that's just a problem with landscape slider phones).

^ again, total nitpicking. I love my phone XD

[G2 and Desire Z General] going_home:
I returned the Nexus S after having it a week.

Who thought it would be a good idea to leave off

the trackpad and memory card slot ?

The NS is not much of an upgrade over the N1.

The G2 is a good phone if you must have a keyboard.

Better than the NS without a doubt.

I dont need a keyboard with Swype.

If you dont need a keyboard the MyTouch 4G is the

fastest and best TMO phone out right now hands down.

Yeah its got its problems (TMO's bloatware) and IMHO

none of the 3 phones are worth a two year contract,

but the MT4G is by far the best phone out for TMO.

;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] jeallen0:
Mt4g my ass... no keyboard... and who gives a crap about ffc. G2 hands down beats the snot outa mt4g.

Get rid of your ****ty NS and get a G2, you won't regret it.

Teleported with mind bullets via XDA App.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Vandam500:
SAMOLED is better IMO but not by a lot. SLCD is nice and crisp though, you won't be disappointed.
[G2 and Desire Z General] genethebean33:
Does anyone hear the wambulance??? How bout a wambuger and French cries..... a G2 should be in your hands
[G2 and Desire Z General] ScooterG:
OK...you're gonna get tired of the left side of the screen clicking and clacking once you "break-in" the hinge.

It's gonna feel like a brick compared to your Nexus S.

It's gonna look like a brick compared to your NS....a very professional looking brick though.

Apps are going to load slower...just a hair

Need For Speed Shift is going to look like 16bit compared to the NS

You have not helped the OP. Fail post. Fail :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] Anartic:
None of you guys have helped out the OP for maybe one or two people.

How dare HTC make a solid phone that feels good in the hand.

Not only that, but they forced a keyboard onto us, one that feels great and keeps our greasy fingers off our screens for massive text messaging.

They also ventured far to give us a processor that can overclock to 1.8GHz, this is an outrage!

And the sleek design of this phone keeps attracting people to it, making me popular >:|

The devs here aren't helping either, how dare scotty2 find a way for us to unlock our phone to use on other gsm carriers.

Those are my gripes with the phone
[G2 and Desire Z General] gravis86:
I wish the screen were bigger, and the phone were thinner. Coming from a Vibrant, this phone is nowhere near as sleek.

Also, the trackpad is useless. It is not as sensitive as it should be. Almost every time I try to use it, I end up hitting the back or menu button accidentally. So I Never really use it. That's wasted space that could have been used for a larger screen.

However text on the screen is more crisp, and it gets much better battery life. My Vibrant barely lasted a day. My G2 lasts a whole day with at least 40% battery to spare. And it has a hardware keyboard. Although I don't really need a hardware keyboard if I have a big enough screen and Smart Keyboard.

Altogether I'm thinking I might end up trading my G2 in for a Nexus S once the Nexus S gets a stable release of CM7.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KiNG OMaR:
Can't you understand that HTC can one hit Samsung with a no scoped headshot from all the way across the map??
[G2 and Desire Z General] KeithRVA:
Put the G2 in your shirt pocket and then do the same with the Nexus S. Which feels less ridiculous? The NS wins! Other than that, the G2 rocks and I would choose it over any other phone even the MT4G, Nexus S/One, iPhone4, HD7...all these phones are awesome but the G2 wins my cash!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] wesmagyar:
G2 is best phone ever. Cyanogen uses it. What more proof do you need of that?
[G2 and Desire Z General] wileykat:
Brilliant.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheBiles:
I think the comparisons to the Nexus's super-light weight are discouraging me. Isn't the G2 heavier than the EVO?
[G2 and Desire Z General] wesmagyar:
Its pretty light actually weighs less then my G1 did... and as for cases the tmo store had a couple good ones. I got a nice rubber one and my girlfriend got a hard clear plasric one.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheBiles:
I do know it's thicker than the EVO was...
[G2 and Desire Z General] Hot_Hands:
It's barely perceptibly thicker than the EVO. I went from the EVO to the G2 and I'd do it again without hesitation. I was considering the NS but the G2 has too many features I like that the NS doesn't have.

Do you want a cutesy little fashion phone or a solid usable tool?
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheBiles:
Other than keyboard, HSPA+, and MicroSD, am I missing anything?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Hot_Hands:
Notification lights, charging lights, outstanding battery life (vs EVO), dedicated shutter button for the cam, trackpad (hella useful in recovery)...
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheBiles:
The notification light is the only thing I miss. :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] Hot_Hands:
Then you should probably stick to your NS. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] moSess:
Battery alone makes this phone own...

The best battery life on this caliber of pone. EVER.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheBiles:
I think the sheer economics of the situation may lead me to the G2. I can sell my unlocked Nexus for ~$650 then get a G2 for $350. I figure that both phones are near the end of this "generation" so there's no real reason to spend so much when I'm going to get a new one in a few months.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Dalamak:
The G2 isn't horrible, and I wouldn't jump on the newest always being the best band wagon and get the G2, shoot The HD2 is a great device now also, and I would go back to that before I get a Nexus S, but if your like the iphone guys then by all means trade you iphone 3 in for a 3s then a 4, and whatever else, even though HTC hardware is way more powerful, and that includes Samsung
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] txitxi2004:
Hi guys

By current battery temp is at 33.3 degrees.

Battery life is uneffected. I get more than a days life out off it.

I never did any caliberation stuff etc

current rom MIUI

I just started monitoring the temp becuase 30 min ago my phone shut down hwne it was sitting right next to table lamb and the heat of the light from the lamp caused the phone to shut down and boot loop at htc logo.

I dont think this is a one off problem as i am getting boot loops on htc logo when playing games since last 3 weeks.

I even had to change my rom because once its got stuck in boot loop forever.

so i had to unroot etc

currently i am using MIUI

I didnt realise the boot loops were because of overheating.

What is the temp your battery is on?

Is there any way of checking temp on other parts like processor etc.

Does replacing battery help?

At this moment playing games for more than 10 causes phone to shut down. and sometimes to bootloop

What shall i do?

When I do a full restore with TB, all of my widgets are replaced with the dreaded "Widget Missing" error. Some of my widgets take a bit of formatting so this is a REAL PAIN.

When you nandroid it saves all of your widgets and restores them. Why can't an app be written that does the same? Or can nandroid be configured to replace your homescreens just as they were even if you do a full wipe and flash a new rom?

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] devnulldroid:
Thinking it is an OS restriction on Android.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mitchellvii:
I guess my point is that if Nandroid can save widgets, why can't we write an app that does the same? How does Nandroid save them? There must be a file somewhere that tells Android where to place your widgets. Where is it and how do we save it?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] vedavin:
I think that settings are a part of Rosie.apk for Sense.....when we Nandroid, it takes a dump of the whole system and saves it.....Saving the settings of Rosie is a little more difficult and I think thats why we dont see multiple apps in the bottom Stock Rosie launcher as well

^ to my knowledge
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] freeza:
Nandroid makes an image of various partitions on your phone. It's like taking the bag full of goodies instead of taking them out one by one.

Much less difficult than saving and restoring specific settings.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] david279:
I restored using adw ex and it put my widgets right back in place. In a sense rom and cm 6.1.1.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mitchellvii:
You mean no little "Problem Loading Widget" placeholders? That alone would be reason to switch to adw ex.

Mitchell's EVO
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mitchellvii:
Don't know which version of ADW Ex you are using but I just tested it and it does NOT reload your widgets. I had 4 widgets on my homescreen and every one got replaced by the "Problem Loading Widget" message.

Damn damn damn and I had such high hopes too. Grrrr.

Why the hell is this so hard?
