I agree with all of this. My wife just got a G2, and that phone is really nice. Sure, the screen doesn't have as good of daylight viewing or black levels, but everything else seems better. I've decided I don't like the PenTile Matrix of the screen on the Vibrant, and I like that the G2 doesn't break a sweat or lag at all. The build quality seems nice, and she has great battery life. The GPS on the G2 is able to lock down to 9' indoors in under 15 seconds while my Vibrant with mod is struggling to get to 30' in 1 minute right next to it! The freeze up of the Vibrant when installing an app is a great point. The G2 doesn't even hiccup. Of course, I'm on stock JI6 so I'm going to evaluate performance again when Froyo officially comes out, but I'm disappointed with the Vibrant in comparison to the G2.

^ you need to convert your file system to EXT4. You are comparing apples and oranges.
[Vibrant General] kmfisher:
I agree they are different, but in a comparison of stock latest updates to stock latest updates (the only type of comparison to be made by a normal user), the Vibrant feels like an inferior product thanks to Samsung design decisions. Maybe the official 2.2.1 update will fix some of that. The Vibrant ends up feeling like an inferior phone in both terms of hardware and software.
[Vibrant General] Thegreatheed:
ITT, people arguing about something they can't control and honestly shouldn't care so much about. Since we are on the XDA site, flash a custom ROM to get 2.2 or quit the absolutely WORTHLESS POINTLESS COMPLETELY UNPRODUCTIVE WHINING.

It's a waste of ones and zeros.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Whining about whiners is a waste of ones and zeros as well, don't you think?

Plus you give the thread a free bump when you do it...

/sadfaced ?
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
He's not really comparing apples to oranges. The vibrant does ship with RFS as the default file system, right?

But even on custom roms with lag fixes people still report that the phone doesn't perform as well as others.

Probably also has something to do with the small amount of ram these phones have compared to other similar-class smartphones...
[Vibrant General] Ms_Vibrant:
whether the device is mid-range or high-end.. if a manufacturer wants to update the software, then they should or at least work on something prior to updating it... some samsung and htc's mid-range devices have been updated to 2.2 while mnotorola has not paid any attention to their non-droid devices..

samsung intercept/samsung moment

my touch

aria

hero

etc etc..these have all been updated , what about the moto devour? cliq? backflip? milestone? the higher-priority phones have been updated , so when is the mid-range ones turn? and yes, samsung is not that great with updates on their flagship phone but motorola as a whole is not too great either as they have other devices too , they are outside of US as well... being a high-end or mid-range type device should not be a factor in considering a manufacturer as a reliable and consistent company..

US mobile industry just works differently..
[Vibrant General] trunkstar1:
I said screw it and finally took the leap. While I don't have the flashing "routine" totally down yet at all, I made back-ups and flashed Nero3 TW edition, JL5 kernel, and enabled Voodoo 5.0.1.

It's bangin' son.
[Legend Themes and Apps] ashkool:
The stock HTC ROM on Legend has a Java emulator which lets us run .jar apps. When I rooted the phone and moved to CyanogenMod, I missed the ability to run java applications (some popular e-commerce apps in India only have Java apps).

I tried NetMite's GetApk service and J2ME Runner, which are too buggy. MicroEmu needs too much of setup and preparation to run java apps.

The stock HTC ROM contains Myriad Group's JBed app for running Java apps. After a bit of googling, I was able to extract the app and pack it into a zip file. Attached is an update-signed.zip file. Boot into recovery and flash this zip file.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Macneil13:
Good evening,

I have been searching for help with my issue but I can't find anything similar. So sorry if it is already answer.

This isn't my first time rooting, I have a rooted HTC Legend. However, this is my first time rooting with unrevoked.

I have rooted the phone and can get to install roms through recovery, there is also supermod permission in the applications.

The problem is when I go to install the custom roms or unrevoked forever. I first wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache partition, before going to install zip from sd card, choose zip from sd card, then select my backup file.

The process starts and the last thing I see is "Opening package"

Then it restarts and I am at the beginning again with ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.7 at the bottom of the screen and nothing else.

I have tried to do unrevoked several times over with no luck. I did it on my macbook and windows 7 pc.

I have an HTC Desire CDMA from TELUS in Canada. I used the latest firmware and tried several different custom roms with no luck on any. I have remottted the sd card in my computer, through the phone, and again in Clockwork but it does not help.

I appreciate any help.

Thanks

hey friends

i m going to buy desire hd tommorow and selling galaxy s ,

just want to make am i making right choice coz i m quite happy with display quality of galaxy s,but not wid its buggy ui and after installing custom ui and softwares make it battery hungry and laggy ......

also i m looking for camera flash and better build quality ,

guide me friends ,deal or no deal

thanks in advance
[Desire HD General] xkitman:
Go ahead with desire hd, I have changed from milestone to desire hd, htc sense is very user friendly interface, enhanced apps (browse, music player, sms , input ) no need to install third party. I am very happy with desire hd.
[Desire HD General] jeet1988:
well i m confused about display quality of desire hd as compared to galaxy s
[Desire HD General] umiss:
How about going to a store and comparing the screens?

Some prefer LCD, others AMOLED.

You obviously get stronger colours and better blacks with AMOLED, while the LCD isn't bad at all and I'd like to say it is a bit sharper than AMOLED.

Also, and this might be due to the fact that I'm used to LCD, but I always find the colors my friends SGS to be oversaturated, and slightly tinted.
[Desire HD General] jeet1988:
thts the thing i was looking ,benifits of desire hd display ,i hve heard lcd display are better in direct sunlight than s amoled is it true ?
[Desire HD General] alexluckett:
trust me, the DHD is an amazing device - i'd fully reccomend it!

that's right :)

http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/21/super-amoled-vs-amoled-vs-lcd-in-direct-sunlight-fight/
[Desire HD General] jeet1988:
thnks bro

buying it now
[Desire HD General] mikecoffee:
I much prefer the amoled screen, its taken me ages to get over having a lcd, each time i pick up my desire or blade, i cry a little.

But the rest of the hardware is erm.. Ace. (see what i did?)
[Desire HD General] jeet1988:
hmmm twist in story

why so?
[Desire HD General] LordManhattan:
Personal preferences. AMOLED is good, but LCD ain't bad. Your computer screen is LCD. Try the Desire HD before you buy it.
[Desire HD General] tkolev:
The build quality of the DHD is very good. Some people complain about the plastic sim and battery covers, but these are necessary from RF engineering point of view (either you have alluminum back with plastic covers, or you have the whole back plastic - you decide which is better). Anyway, I didn't have any of the issues reported here - no sim cover misalignment, no proximity sensor issues (solved by the first OTA update AFAIK), no init bug (I keep USB debuging on just to be sure ;) ), no nothing. Maybe, just maybe, my screen is tilted a little bit, but it might be my imagination playing tricks on me.

AMOLED vs. LCD is really down to the person who uses it. IMO the only good thing about AMOLED technology is the real black. Other than that, the larger viewing angle is unusable and the colours seem "wrong" to me.

Just a little warning - as you might know, the new 1.72 ROM can't be rooted (yet?), so if you intend to buy from a store, check the phone if it has the old 1.32 ROM, so you can root it and then go with the 1.72 root keeping update procedure.
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
Highlighted for emphasis due to the importance of this :)

DHD is a great phone. Love mine to bits. I've been trying to keep an AOSP rom on mine for a while now but keep coming back to Sense. Its just such a fantastic UI. Also the screen is fine. Colours are crisper on AMOLED but text is clearer on SLCD. The text display on AMOLED seems slightly pixelated and blurry to me
[Desire HD General] letom:
I think the S AMOLED screen is great but it's not as sharp. My DHD is sharper than my friends Galaxy S and it is noticable if you stare at both screens. Also after using the DHD the AMOLED seems to have a tint of purple not to mention it's whites never really look white. But boy are the blacks black, I cried a little when I compared. But the thing is the black on the DHD are good anyways.
[Desire HD General] mikecoffee:
I agree the dhd is the best phone i've owned, but like i said it just takes a while to get used to screen coming from amoled
[Desire HD General] jeet1988:
wht bout the audio quality of dhd ,specially from loud speakers
[Desire HD General] hassan:
I've got a SGS for about 5 months now i switched to DHD. Audio quality is ok but not as good as SGS. Other wise i love it so much as its all leg free with specially with Android Revolution HD rom. I found SLCD does show natural colours then SAMOLED when watching videos. Dolby Mobile sounds great when listening music through headset.

Go for it.. ;)
[Desire HD General] tranceonline:
I got the DHD for 3 Days now and its ... omg i cant explain!

the best thing is, i am an android user since G1, and even better , i CAME from G1 ! i was like OMFG *mouth open*

nothing to complain but one thing: after using apps like "Talking Tom the Cat" and same stuff (gf's daughter loves it!) it starts FC such games. it loads the game, i see like 2 seconds of the animated "avatar" than it crashes. a restart fixed it. but after some starts of 2 or 3 other games like that, it happend again.

BUT ONLY with such games!

other games like dungeon defender, nova, exzeus aso run like hell and keep my mouth open!

i was like the little girl in Despicable Me when gettin the fluffy unicorn "ITS SO FLUFFYY!!" but i was like "ITS SO DAMN AWESOME!!" :D

sry, i am 27 but exited like a 5 year old on christmas :D
[Desire HD General] MaybachMan:
The DHD is far superior. Bigger screen, better build quality (bye bye cheap plastic, hello unibody aluminium), and faster hardware (latest Snapdragon and 768MB RAM vs. outdated Hummingbird and 512MB RAM).
[Desire HD General] umiss:
I noticed exactly the same thing with my friends SGS.

The colors are all tinted blue/purple, but the blacks are wonderful.

SGS also has better digitizer (I read somewhere that is runs at 60hz whereas HTC runs at 50hz and iphone at 100hz, cant remember the source though), but you notice how things move better with your finger on the SGS, just slightly.

On the other hand, I notice random lags all the time on my friends SGS.

It's not an easy choice.
[Desire HD General] cenedra:
im using DHD now and its an awesome phone, the best that ive ever had.

I was coming from a HTC Magic upgrade, thus the difference is very significant.

However, if i owned a SGS, i wouldnt hv upgraded to a DHD to be honest. There will be a slightly better performance from the DHD compared to the SGS, but its not big enough to justify an upgrade IMO.

I wouldve waited next year, and see how those tegra 2 phones performs, and upgrade to one of them.

[Desire HD General] umiss:
Just to add, personally (and I know everyone don't agree with me here), but I really like the sense widgets, and so I use HTC sense rather than let's say LauncherPro.

Also, I like some other stuff such as the email-app and the dialer that comes with sense. This, together with a fast processor, nice build quality (SGS is too plastic for me, with the exception of DHD being a bit too heavy) and the slightly bigger screen and lag free OS made me go for the DHD rather than the SGS.

I can live with slightly worse blacks, but better colors.

Also, I don't like how the SGS is a complete iphone-ripoff in regards to its looks.

Just some input, hope I help rather than confuse.

Could you please check what's the system version? And a friendly remainder - if it's lower then 1.72 don't update it if you thinking about rooting your HD.

stick to samsung galaxy s. very easy to port from the nexus s.

yup it got newer version and i m waintg for devolpers to root it ,till thn i m enjoying stock rom, well now in my opinion ........................,

htc sense makes desire hd the real winner

but the loudspeaker is not as gud as galaxy s ,but sound chip is very gud specialy dolby mobile ,build quality awesome ,no lag ,screen is more bright than galaxy s and sharp too ,camera is also more gud plus flash ,i m just missing front camera and a gud loudspeaker

overall its a wise decsion

thanks friends for helping me to choose ................. god bless u all
[Desire HD General] oldmanofskye:
I double that - the biggest letdown with this phone is the speaker. I used to listen podcast on my n95 (best speakers ever on a mobile), but can't do the same with HD - its just not loud enough. On the other hand, HD is great when it comes to quality of the sound on the headphones. Just get good quality headphones.

[Windows Phone 7 General] GenkaiMade:
Heya all,

I haven't seen anyone talking about this, so on the tiny chance that nobody has realised, my HTC Mozart at least has had minor updates. I noticed this after not using XBox live for a few weeks: before my break, when accepting friend requests, it would take me out of the app and into the web browser, whereas now, it lets me manage them from inside the app. A version number now also comes up in the bottom right of the connection loading screen, which didn't happen before.

Any other evidence of minor updates anywhere?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kreekoh:
Herp Derp?

First off, with a device with only 533 mhz of processing power, live wallpapers probably aren't gonna be viable without making it so that your tablet will barely run. The reason why 2.1 isn't available on these generic tablets is the same (or very similar), your tablet just isn't powerful enough. While there is probably a way to put 2.1 on these things, you probably won't enjoy your android experience anymore.

First thing that I'd try is to get rid of full screen caller ID and see if the problem is still around... if it is... just do a factory reset and don't install any apps, make some calls and see if the problem is still there. If it isn't... you know it's one of those apps.

[Nexus One General] ajorg:
First, please stop creating multiple threads for the same issue.

It sounds like you can get to the bootloader just fine. Use a USB cable and fastboot to flash or boot a new recovery image. I'm not going to detail that here as there are many threads that talk about it already. If that fails for some reason come back and describe how it failed.

[Nexus One General] ajorg:
Try booting the recovery from fastboot (fastboot boot recovery-whichever.img). This bypasses flash and just loads the image into memory. Also please checksum your recovery image to be sure it is not corrupted. If this fails your phone is probably broken. Can you boot into the actual system? Is recovery the only thing broken?
[Nexus One General] ajorg:
Gah. I see from one of your other threads that you worked this out. You see that is why you don't create multiple threads for one issue. It wastes time.

I upgraded to a Droid a few months ago, and recently found my old xv6900 in my dresser drawer. I can't help thinking there has to be something I can do with it, be it a USB wifi-card or something more fun like a hidden wifi network scanner when i'm on the go.

Any ideas?
[Touch CDMA General] KralHiPolymer:
You will not be able to make your XV6900 into a wifi card or scanner considering it doesn't even have wifi. One option would be to make it into a GPS so you will not drain your Droid's battery as fast.
