[G2 and Desire Z General] wileykat:
I'd love a slightly bigger screen, but the keyboard outweighs the screen size for me. You gota decide what is higher on your list of priorities.

Things that would make this device future proof for me,...

Tegra2

Dual LED flash

Bigger screen

5 row KB

.................... most to least important.

I'm happy to wait for the next 'G' series from HTC. I'll never go back to touch screen only.

Edit,.... A G1/Hero style trackball instead of optical trackpad would be nice n all.
[G2 and Desire Z General] the-other-gordo:
Would love to be able to configure the backlight on the keyboard. It's NEVER on when I need it to be.
[G2 and Desire Z General] wileykat:
On what ROM? Mine is on when open, I assume it's off when closed.....
[G2 and Desire Z General] Showtime7:
I would have liked the G2 better if it had the same keyboard as the Touch Pro 2. That was probably the best phone I've owned as far as appearance goes (TP2). Too bad the hardware and software sucked.

And it's not that I don't like the hinge design either, slide phones always end up scratching the keyboard surface on the sides. But I loved being able to open it and then tilt, oh and the 5 row keyboard was a beauty... If only the G2 had this, it would be perfect for me. But no phone is perfect.

Oh and access to the SD card slot without having to open anything! Another beautiful thing about the TP2 which had this.

In my dreams I am thinking of a phone with a SECOND SD card slot. Why not?? One behind the battery and one on the side of the phone.

My last phone was the HD2. I do kind of miss the larger display, but something inbetween would be perfect for me. If Android ran a bit smoother though I'm sure I would have never got the G2.

That's all... Every phone has areas it can be improved in. I think the G2 has excellent hardware, though. I think this is the most important aspect now having owned 5 HTC phones. Should be holding onto this one for a while, but then again that's what I always say. >.<
[G2 and Desire Z General] immune15:
4" amoled screen , 5th row for numbers , a sturdy hinge , a better camera , and maybe a front facing camera.
[G2 and Desire Z General] YOSEFE:
For me it is all the wishes expressed by others here, plus a front facing camera and a slot for a sling if one needed it. AND are there ever going to be automatic or dual active sim card smartphones from HTC?
[G2 and Desire Z General] nohcho:
Sd card slot that does not require battery removal. I'm surprised people want samoled on g2 after it has been proven that samoled is highly susceptible to "burn in" and pentile matrix is just killing me.

I think I woupd keed the LCD that we currently have on G2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Bronz_Most:
A sturdier hinge mechanism, a 1 GHz processor. That's about it for me.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bigtrouble77:
Interesting, the processor is the one thing I wouldn't change.

...sent from my G2 running Cyanogen 6.1.1
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sleef:
Seconded. I'm running a "CM build" compiled by someone else in the forum from source code but I sure hope Team Douche hurries up! Heh. Not to undermine the tireless efforts of those amazing phone modders.
[Android Apps and Games] Bloodflame:
Alright, so I'm looking for a 1x1 widget that would switch between 3G data and WiFi with just 1 press. I've easily found a hundred apps that do one or the other, but none that does both processes together (or maybe I'm just having bad luck finding it).

Basically, the reason I need this is for my girlfriend who just got a Captivate for Christmas. She's in university and has campus-wide WiFi, so I just recommended she gets a cheaper data plan and I'd help her find a widget to easily switch between the 2.

Worst case scenario, I just hook her up with 2 separate widgets for each. But one widget that does both at the same time would be ideal. Any help would be greatly apprecitated! Thanks!!
[Android Apps and Games] AMoosa:
Just use the wifi widget. When WiFi is on, 3g AUTOMATICALLY switches itself off.
[Android Apps and Games] Izkata:
No need for the wifi widget, even. The Captivate has a WiFi toggle in the notification bar pull-down. (I suspect it's an AT&T mod, since not many seem to know about it.. The Captivate is my first Android phone, though, so not sure)

[Nexus S General] xrizwan:
Does the speed on this plan vary from the $30.00 data plan on the S if its the same speed I wouldn't mind saving $20.00 a month
[Nexus S General] harveydent:
It's the same speed, except that you're capped to 200 MB/mo. It replaces their previous "dumbphone" data plan
[Nexus S General] xrizwan:
I taught they had unlimited web to go for 10
[Nexus S General] harveydent:
That's their old dumbphone plan, which is still grandfathered in so people who had that plan in the past can still go over 200 MB

Someone please CMIIW
[Nexus S General] diversificationied:
Unlmited web2go for $10 does not work on the nexus s.
[Nexus S General] xrizwan:
Thanks for your help Jc
[Nexus S General] mingkee:
You can opt for even more plus plan at corp store if you purchase it in full, which only cost $20 for internet and $10 for messaging.

It's better than nothing.

$10 grandfathered web2go will not work with NS at least it doesn't work on my 3rd number, so I have to rotate it with MT4.
[Nexus S General] sporran:
Been trying to get this to work on my Nexus S, whenever I used the voice search facility to send a text or email, it just took me to the internet search page.

Anyway I am based in the UK and by default my Language is English (UK).

You have to change your default, go to: Settings/Voice input&output/Voice recognizer settings and change your Language to English (US). and it now works perfectly!

Hope this helps...
[Android Software Development] Marknumskull:
Hi,

I had a quick look through the forums but couldn't see a topic for this.

I am wanting to get started with android development and programming and am looking for a decent book to help me get started. I have went through the tutorials on the android site but I found them not to be at my level having no java experience.

I do however have programming experience through microsoft visual basic and vba and do understand the basics. i just want a book to take me from scratch with android and eclipse that starts at a fairly easy level but that is still useful once I have progressed.

Does anyone have any recommendations or even know of solid online resources?

Many thanks
[Android Software Development] doctormetal:
I heard positive things about this: wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTitle/Professional-Android-Application-Development.productCd-0470565527.html

Note that I do not have this book myself so I cannot tell you anything more about.
[Android Software Development] Marknumskull:
Hi,

Thanks for this, will have a look at that one and see what its like!

Cheers

[Android Software Development] Archer:
I'm working through that book at the minute, and it is perfect!

Since you've got previous programming experience (it would be good if you had .Net experience) then it's just a case of translating what you know into a different language.

Admittedly, I'm finding it quite easy, coming from a strong C# and .Net background. I think it's probably the easiest transition going, but I'd recommend the book regardless.
[Android Software Development] Marknumskull:
Thanks for that as well! It also looks very helpful, i would expect coming from a .net environment to take to Android programming easy enough once i understand how the basics of eclipse and the coding syntax works for it!

I have bought the Wrox programmer to programmer book but i am also going to bear in mind the Teach Yourself Android book as well, had a flick through it there on amazon preview and it looks very easy to use, i like that it is split into hours so you know where you should be and how long it will take.

Thanks for the replies!
[Android Software Development] janfsd:
I would recommend Commonsware's books. You get a full year's access to 3 books.

However, I would start with some Java book first. I heard that Head First Java is good.
[Android Software Development] NetApex:
I second the Commonwares books. The weekly chats alone are worth the price!
[Android Software Development] mwilhelm:
Yep, I have this book and find it great. One thing is nice is that he uses the same program for all his examples, thus building up one app. His writing style is very fluid too. I recommend it.
[Android Software Development] thecoo1est:
i would love to start learning java myself, ive been playing with appinventor, i have graphic design skills but im far from a programmer, playing with appinventor has really spark a fire for me to actually learn real code, i know its a far stretch from appinventor but ive been playing with tools like eclipse for android sdk, i would love to find a good book on a certain way to go about using all these tools together, much research to be done!
[Android Software Development] bompo:
Not a book but google for "Android App Course", those labs are a good introduction to android...

Hi,

im having battery drain problems the phone wont last more than 5-6 hours send 20-30 texts listen to some music, i have turned off backgroud data and live wallpapers, im using something called advanced task killer free to kill the apps that are running, but i close them the re open the task bar and stuff like music player has reopened

ive also seen a post about which batterys are better is there a better one i can buy? my batterys a G7

any ideas ?

cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gtluis:
Hello friend, this is being discussed all over the forums, check this thread to get some idea of what could be happening.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884816

Apparently one cause of this drainage is the 2.2.1 firmware, seems like previous firmwares didn't had this problem.

Good luck
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DamianGto:
Well you did answer your question yourself.

Stoop using task killers. They do more harm then good.

In your case the task killer end a program. The program starts again. The task killer end it again and the program starts again..... Do you see the pattern? You phone work alt and don't sleep. Ofcourse it will drain battery..

[Focus General] momadine:
Hi All,

I have noticed yesterday while using the Ms. Zune that when sending an mp4 file ( A movie file) of 900 MB took only 60 seconds and was trsnferred to my Samsung Focus with the same size.

I was able to view the movie perfectly with no lags at all which means that this mobile phone (or the OS obviously) is able to view mp4 files nativly.

When compared with transferring a avi file which takes 30 minutes to 1 hour the mp4 file is amazing.

Hope this helps.
[Focus General] ITDRAGON:
I guess you didn't know Windows phone 7 Zune doesn't support Avi's and converts them to the zune's playable format before syncing it. MP4's, MV4's, WMV's are support thus are not converted and sync right over.

Hope this helped ;)
[Focus General] wildbilll:
It appears that the camera takes movies in mp4. So I would hope that it can play back mp4's.
[Focus General] momadine:
Actually it can.
[Focus General] ITDRAGON:
Umm that's what he said.. :rolleyes:
[Focus General] Thresher:
Just a repetitive FYI: the phone does not support 3gp so if a friend sends you a MMS as 3gp you won't be able to view it.

OR can you and I am late to the IQ party? Let me know if I am wrong.
[Focus General] momadine:
Who said anything about 3gp?

It's just a FYI about the mp4 files are much welcomed than any other video extension ( A high resolution video like the movie I tryed).
[Focus General] wildbilll:
I don't know how accurate this is but here is a list of "supported" file formats for WP7:

I just got mine last night- rooted and recovery installed but I am jonesing to get rid of the blur stuff and see what this thing can do.

Still haven't done much research as things have been busy for a number of reasons besides the holidays, but so far the upgrade from my original Droid seems fairly small... That thing is modded within an inch of its life and currently is faster than a D2G by 50Mhz. (raw cpu- linpack score is slightly lower at best.)

An sbf should get all the really creative people going so a leech like me can be happy. :)

It would be the same resolution as the screen, 480x800.

Here is my photoshop template for creating wallpapers, it has layers you can turn on and off to preview how the wallpaper will look with each home screen, lock screen and horizontally.

Once you have everything laid out and adjusted how you want it just turn off the grouped layers so all you see is the wallpaper and do a "save as" in a jpg or png.

Should work perfect for any android device that is uses 960x800 wallpapers with a 480x800 display.

You are all kinds of awesome. I was just about to start a request thread for the honeycomb bee in a wallpaper but figured I'd look in here first. Did you put the bee on that background or was it like that already? An all black background with the blue bee in the middle would be sweet and maybe even good for battery life.

EDIT: If I wanted to modify the blue bee wallpaper to make the bee smaller on the screen, how would I do that? I already made the box around the center of the image as large as possible when cropping for the wallpaper. It's such a sexy logo and goes really well with CM.

Thank you all very much for the variety of pix here.

I understand I should add these to the photos folder in my phone, and then select the area to use as a wallpaper. But is there any folder I can put these in so they will show up in my wallpaper menu? I noticed that when I installed Launcher Pro, there is another entry in the wallpaper menu. Is this of any use? To my limited understanding these menu's and their contents are managed by apk's, so any mods I do to these files will be wiped with updates, and I would be better off just sticking with the first mentioned method. Any help or links to help is much appreciated. Thank you

Love some of these custom papers, but had a question for the group:

When you first setup the phone, it opens with a default bokeh-rainbow colored background. But if you go swap out one of the supplied backgrounds, that original wallpaper doesnt appear anywhere in the gallery. I dug through the launcher2 wallpaper subfolders but it doesnt show up in any of those either.
