I set my phone on the table/desk while I do stuff, and I don't always hear it. Being able to quickly glance at the phone to see if I have a notification is a must.

Go for it...But after tasting Gingerbread I cant go back to 2.2

Ive been on the G2 forum the past four days and I saw some of your posts. I was thinking of exchanging the nexus s(my third one by the way) to the G2(I had one on release date but couldnt stay with it). Going to bestbuy I just couldent do it.

1. The G2 cost 80 bucks more.

2. Its on 2.2 and is controled by Tmobile and not Google(updates).
[Nexus S General] TheBiles:
Cyanogen owns a G2. He controls my updates. ;)
[Nexus S General] unremarked:
But if you get a G2, and leave these forums, who's sig will people complain about???? :eek:

Also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7PhJp3ciRQ reflects my opinion. Only obviously for phones, not consoles. >_>
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
not pointing any fingers but his sig is NOT the worst :p
[Nexus S General] harsaphes:
You use an LED notification for when your phone ISNT in your pocket. So if its on my desk at work and I walk by it I can glance at it and see if I have missed a call or email ect. Otherwise you have to pick the phone up and turn it on and off all the time.
[Nexus S General] justsignbythex:
Just got a Nexus S and I definitely miss the LED notifications I had on my Blackberry.

It would be awesome if someone made an app or something that controlled the capacitive buttons as someone said.

All 4 keys could flash or even better, a specific one would light up to determine what kind of notification it is (missed call, SMS, etc.).
[Nexus S General] unremarked:
Lol think I'm gonna add this one to the FAQ since it seems to keep popping up.

The app that blinks the capacitive buttons is called BLN and it's available on the market currently. HOWEVER, it requires root and a custom kernel coded to utilize it for it to work. The other app you've heard about in this thread, noLED, has no such requirements.

EDIT: Oh, it's already in there. >_> Man I forgot what was in my own FAQ.

Is there a way to send a small mp3 clip (200k) via mms? Im using handcent and I have it set to 1M but everytime I try to attach the clip I get an error message "sorry you cannot add this audio to your message" Im on ATT running kangorama
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
They usually have to be very small clips.

Have you tried using the default messaging client to see what it does?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loudjp:
Yes, Ive tried both handcent and the stock messaging client. The clips can be smaller than 200k and it still wont sent
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nawlage:
I too cannot figure out how to attach an audio file to a text message. I have tried the stock messaging app and handcent. I have tried to attach .mp3, .3gp, .ogg, and .wav files. All below 200kb. I have also tried upping the max size. Nothing works. pretty sad that there are options on these audio apps to send but it doesn't work. The crappiest of crap phones can do this but a $600 ' smart' phone chokes. There dont seem to be any answers for this debacle either. Not that I can find anyways. Is there ANYONE that has an answer besides 'email it' or ' go back to your old dumb phone'?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cymru:
Go SMS has an option to add Audio to a text message, worth a punt, plus its nicer than Handcent anyway (IMO)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nawlage:
Im wondering if out has to be in a certain folder. Turns out I can attach mp3s with rings extended but voice recordings don't show with rings for whatever reason. And tapeatalk doesn't have an option for changing output folder. ill check the stock voice recorder.

EDIT: nope. no option in the stock recorder either. Wtf..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nawlage:
I just got tapemachine from the market and rings extended shows what is recorded with that. Just says too big and can't attach. Prolly cuz it's a wav. Looks promising.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nawlage:
Recforge from the market allows mp3 voice recording for I think 30 seconds or 1 minute in the free version. It also allows you to choose the output location. Perfection. Good looking app too. Icons from buuf. Only thing is rings doesnt see the new recordings until the sdcard is scanned again so I had to get sdrescan, also from the market. I used to use rescan media/root but it pwnd my gallery so I didn't want to get it again. sure hope sdrescan doesn't fail in the same way. Final verdict: I've figured it out. Hope this helps anyone else with this annoying problem.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cluelessk:
which one would you get? i cant wait any longer seeing as how my hero broke. do you think there will be lots of devs working on the shift?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shad0wfire:
the shift isn't out and hasn't been announced yet, if you need a phone now you get the evo
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cluelessk:
we know a lot of the specs of the shift though. the processor is the same as the g2 which is better than the evo and so is the gpu. im mainly worried about the devs. seeing as how evo has a very active section. i dont know whether the shift will get any.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirmx:
Jan 9th appears to be the best guess release date based on leaked documents.

What it comes down to, is if you want a physical keyboard or not. The internals will be different, but nothing drastic. Lots of working being done on the EVO, so I dont think you'll go wrong either way.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calundle:
The Shift's screen is too small and has too much extra space under the buttons for my liking. Design fail.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cluelessk:
the shift will be able to be clocked to 1.9ghz which is crazy. but i think the evo will be better in the long run with devs and support
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brokentoaster24:
3.6 is too small? I think it's perfect
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:
Where do you hear 1.9? It looks like its only a 800 mhz processor in the phone.

http://phandroid.com/2010/12/22/htc-evo-shift-4g-photographed/
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FdxRider:
There were a couple of comments in the comment section that referenced that same processor was o/c'd to 1.9 on the G2. I do believe

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cluelessk:
yeah. the processor in the shift is the same as in the g2. the devs on the g2 have been able to overclock it to 1.9 stable.

check this out: http://smartphonebenchmarks.com/

g2 own all other phones right now with the processor
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:
WoW! I want one :D lol

Got a upgrade March 1st, if this pics up devs than I may get it rather than evo or epic :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stayclean:
I really don't imagine there wouldn't be a good dev scene for it, after all, it IS a HTC device, plus it is a CDMA G2. Going to be picking up one whenever Sprint tells me I can, ha.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FdxRider:
I could be be wrong but i believe nfinite said he was considering the Shift
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nsandhu23:
Personally, I believe that getting the evo would be better in the long run. The Evo is a premier phone, the original 4g, where as the Shift is just a crappy replication of the evo. If you REALLY want a physical keyboard go for it. Otherwise Evo all the way.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calundle:
Well, personal preference. It's a decent size I suppose, I'm just used to the size of my brother's Evo. But the extra screen bezel really bugs me. That's my main drawback.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stayclean:
A crappy replication with a beefier GPU and second-gen processor. ;)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stayclean:
Eh, just less incentive for my wife to want one as well, resulting in awkward stares over video chat during silence as I make my way home. ;)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cluelessk:
well i believe i found a solution. radio shack has the evo for $99 and a 30 day return policy with no restocking fee. ill get that and wait to see what happens with the shift. win win :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kostov22:
i hear ya....i am at the end of february...so we will see.....:)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostboa:
Going to have to agree here. And the shifts screen size is too small.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brokentoaster24:
It's all personal preference, I'm getting the shift as soon as I can. I like a phone that fits in my pocket ;)

Here's a thread started in the Evo forums asking the same thing...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:
Thanks, I stopped reading around page 5, when a member was complaining how another members mom had better battery with her dual core laptop than her older single core. Turns out he doesnt even know the members mother! WTF :rolleyes:

After reading though I am at a lost on what phone to get even more. All this CES talk, when does a CES announced phone hit the stores? If it is summer than upgrading in March to a Evo would be OK. I am premier so by the time the CES phone got rooted and roms I will get another upgrade ;) If I see dev's all over this Shift I am personally gonna grab it, if not I would say grab the Epic :eek: I mean Evo, or wait :confused: Evo vs Epic Hrmmmmm
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cluelessk:
personally i say evo over epic mainly because of support. htc has already officially announced that evo will get gingerbread and the epic is still on 2.1. epic does have the better specs but support wins over personally
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stayclean:
If you want devs, why grab an Epic over the Evo? ;)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:
I know, I was just adding to the mix a bit :) I am seriously considering buying a LG Optimus S outright from Ebay and letting my upgrade wait until maybe the HTC Sabor comes out. A dual core 1.5 ghz, aka HTC Scorpion.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stayclean:
I would wait to see how things at CES pan out in that case, as the HTC Scorpion has a device based on nothing but blog rumors since February, and Sabor has been a rumor since summer, or possibly even before. As for now, I don't truly get the burning need for dual cores, as Android still has yet to support hardware acceleration for basic GUI needs (why Google, why?), battery tech is still mostly garbage, and the fact that a huge percentage of the market will not only still have regular single core phones, but will have them for a long time yet makes me wonder how quick or slow developers will be to optimize apps for the devices (I know there will be SOME benefit even without optimized apps, but eh..). Doesn't Android itself need to be optimized for dual cores? I guess we'll see how the next 5 or so months pan out.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:
If you build it they will come :) Got to have the dual core before they can dev it.

I see your point about nearly all of the market being on single though. By the time the majority of the market is ready to upgrade to a dual core, that first release will be old news :eek: Sort of like the Hero, the Hero was all that and a bag of chips. A few months later the Hero was, well a zero. The Evo had knocked the Hero so far down it wasnt even funny, let us who bought this thing a few months after release, but 2 months before the Evo out in the COLD :mad:

/end rant
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:
I just took a little plunge, found a brand new LG Optimus S on E bay for $160 and FREE shipping! :D This saves my upgrade I got coming in March for a newer phone ;) And once I do upgrade I will pass the LG down to the wife as she has a loooong time before her upgrade :(

GOOD BYE HERO :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiritcrusher33:
not everyone want a huge 4.3 inch screen like the evo..I wanted something in the 3.5 to 3.8 inch.. but at the time sprint didnt have anything ( and still doesnt ).. so I went to verizon for the incredible.. sure its more a month. but I love this phone.. point is.. Shift is a nice addition to sprints lineup..and many old TP2 owners that havent went to the epic will love it..
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riff76:
I know the Shift's chip is better than the EVO's but man, Moto stole CES with the Atrix and Bionic. The Shift ISNT a oooohh, aaaah phone like the EVO and Hero when they first came out. Supposedly there is a big announcement next month for Sprint. Hopefully, we can get another HTC release this summer like the Sabor.

I the Shift won't have as much development as the EVO because its been only 6, 7 months since the EVO came out.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirRipo:
I think it will get more dev work than the Epic has gotten so far. Given that it's an HTC device, and shares a number of common parts with the G2/Desire Z, I get the feeling that porting ROMs and such should be quite doable. And given that the guys who are still clinging to their Heros are probably itching for an upgrade, this seems to be the device that will be the most likely upgrade (if they don't go to the Epic or Evo, or haven't already). I'm hoping to pick up the Shift around the 14th. Hopefully by then there will be a permanent root method, and at least some basic ROMs (similar to the "stock" ROMs that used to be around for the Hero). It won't have as much dev work as the EVO right away, but I think it should have at least as much as the Hero, if not as much as the EVO once there's a true, permanent root method.

Hi,

I bought my new Sony Xperia X8 today to find out that it was running Android 1.6 :(

So i went onto PC Companion and found a new update was available (Android 2.1)

So I went and ran it...after a hour it is still on the preparation process.

Why is it going so slow?

Thanks,

Because the Firmware needs to be downloaded. If you have a very slow internet connection it will take longer to download...

You can use SEUS

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Stijnaw:
Hey everbody!

I can't get my htc Magic connected with my pc. It doesn't do anything when my phone is on and I connect it with the PC. Tried different ROM's and it didn't work. I tried it in recovery and bootloader mode (back + power/home) and I can't get a connection but the PC does say he finds a usb device but it stopped working.

I searched the net (and xda) for u sollution but I'm starting to think that it is an hardware error.

Now this is my problem: Does somebody have the standard 32A 1.5(?) ROM and is it possible to restore my Magic back to factory default and send it back for warranty?

Is it possible without usb connection (like fastboot, ...) to restore the orignal rom(/recovery/radio)?

I hope that somebody can help me! Please say if you need more info about my sell or something.
