[EVO Shift 4G General] baiatul:
That cell phone HTC Shift is a joke, correct? Less resolution in camera (5M), less speed than EVO, just keyboard, if I understood correctly.
[EVO Shift 4G General] westicle:
Fool. Its a faster phone with a newer processor, better gpu, and mp's don't mean much. Its a better phone than the evo with a smaller screen and a real keyboard.....which is what some of us want. so, why don't you go troll elsewhere, troll.

How is a smaller screen and 200mhz less cpu speed make it a better phone?
[EVO Shift 4G General] westicle:
Scent phrum mie fone!
[EVO Shift 4G General] BrandoKC:
Look at the Benchmarks for the G2, same processor. Blows the Evo away and can be overclocked to 1.8GHZ. Evo can barely handle 1.2.

The Shift has the same screen resolution on a smaller screen.
[EVO Shift 4G General] westicle:
Thanks

Scent phrum mie fone!
[EVO Shift 4G General] the_hustleman:
But the screen is smaller and the front camera is missing (which is the dumbest thing they could have done), so yeah, cpu aside, how is it a better phone?
[EVO Shift 4G General] baiatul:
Hey, you have to respect other members man, or else.
[EVO Shift 4G General] baiatul:
It doesn't have the little stand. It has only one LED flash, apparently.
[EVO Shift 4G General] BrandoKC:
The fact that screen is smaller make it's more portable for some people and at the same resolution means it will have a better picture. Most people don't want or have a need for a FFC.

The benchmarks show that performance wise it is a better phone than the Evo. The rest is up to personal preference.

The Evo is still a beast, however the Evo Shift is no slouch either.
[EVO Shift 4G General] baiatul:
Less camera and flash, less size. If it's smaller then it's expected to use less power. I still like the size of the regular EVO. How about the main memory? I have a lot of trouble with EVO after I installed Twitter. It accumulates more and more megs over time, and it cannot be moved to the mem card. Maybe this one will come with more memory.
[EVO Shift 4G General] BrandoKC:
The camera on the G2 is the same as the Shift and is supposed to take better pics than the Evo.

If you're rooted and I'm assuming you are, you can move Twitter to your SD card using Titanium Backup. Now if you are using the widget then it will have to stay on the phone memory, but I use Tweetdeck and never have any use for the widget so it works out.

If you haven't tried Tweetdeck I highly recommend giving it a go.
[EVO Shift 4G General] westicle:
I'm actually really digging the shift. I want a keyboard, don't need a ffc, don't want a 4.3 inch screen, like the processor (it really is awesome) like the gpu, and love that its made by htc. If u have an evo then stick with it, but I skipped the evo for a hardware keyboard, and won't touch the epic because samsung has tricked me with their "next big thing" before (instinct, etc.) I'm truly excited for this phone. Research it before you dis it, and realize that different consumers have different needs.

[EVO Shift 4G General] fifedogg:
I hate that everyone with an EVO is hating on this phone. People dont understand the mhz isnt everything ex; celeron vs pentium. I guarantee when it drops and pulls some good development its gonna woop on the EVO as far as processing power and usability. Then all you guys are gonna be able to complain about is that there isnt a 4.3'' screen and a FFC. Considering I wont be using video calls and hate the size/battery life of the EVO I cant wait to get this phone as it is the reason why I held off from buying the EVO in the first place. This phone after OC is gonna be one of the fastest phones on the market I can assure you (Look how fast the G2 is)

Infact, My free optimus s beats the EVO on a lot of the benchmarks I've tested it on...

I really cant wait to have the shift OC'd to 1.5+ to rub it in to all my friends with the EVO :p
[EVO Shift 4G General] baiatul:
Look: Don't hate because it's not really "people hate it". People really don't know the new phone. We are inquiring about it. It doesn't mean people hate it. so don't hate.
[EVO Shift 4G General] baiatul:
Are you sure is the same camera? (just asking, not trying to antagonize or anything) I though EVO is 8 MP, and the Shift is 5 MP or so? Also, EVO has 2 LED's as flashes. This one, judging by the picture, seems to have only one. Maybe an indication of the camera capabilities.

Thank you for the tip about Tweetdeck. I definitely will try it. The Twitter app is great, but every week it adds more and more megs up to its used mem.

Thanks again.

-----

Wow, thanks man. I got rid of my low memory icon after uninstalling Twitter and installing Tweetdeck. Thanks again. You have one more thanks.
[EVO Shift 4G General] BrandoKC:
The camera is the same one from the G2/Desire Z not the Evo. Sorry if I was confusing above. From what I've read the G2 takes better pics than the Evo even though it is only 5MP as opposed to the Evo's 8MP.

My fiance actually ran over to Radio Shack and picked up my Shift this morning, so hopefully I'll have some initial thoughts on it tonight.

Glad Tweetdeck worked out for. Check out the Chrome app or desktop version too. Outstanding! Thanks for the thanks!

Evo Shift 4G - Not so bad after all?

Since I'm due for an upgrade next month, I've been watching the rumors about the Evo Shift 4G develop over the past couple weeks. My wife has an Evo 4G and loves it, but she has a purse to carry it in. :rolleyes: As much as I like the Evo, I can't lug around a phone that big in my pocket. So, I've been focused on the Shift ever since hearing about it.

The size is great... I used a digital caliper at work and, using the measurements from Sprint's website, compared it to my Hero and I don't think it's "too big" for a pants/shirt pocket.

Performance... this was a big "what if" for me - until about an hour ago. AndroidCentral.com posted a video of the benchmarks. The only one I've run on my Hero is Quadrant, so it's the only one I'm familiar with.

Quadrant results:

Scored 1481

Faster than: Nexus One, Galaxy S, Droid X, & Desire
​

Check out the video for exact results on Quadrant, LinPack, & another one Phil ran.

The rest... I'm not concerned with a FFC, nor do I need an 8MP camera w/dual flash. My Hero's 5MP camera has done fine for me since I've had it - the only thing missing was some sort of flash, which the Shift has. That's enough for me! :cool: For others, it's not enough - it's simply a matter of personal preference. To each their own, right? ;)

I just hope the dev's here at XDA jump on the Evo Shift 4G & start bangin' out some awesome ROMs & enable us run it OC'd ASAP!

That's my $0.02 worth! (maybe it was more like $0.25?) :cool:
[EVO Shift 4G General] StAlphonso:
just bought it this morning....quadrant ran 1612 and linpack 34.671 mflops.....stock (obviously)....it was the top device on the graph on quadrant beating EVERYTHING else....dont even see a need for OC unless youre trying to hit lightspeed lol!

im so amazed by this phone already...especially since my hero rooted to 2.2 CM6.1 only hit like 385 quadrant....this phone feels like a ferrari compared to a pinto!

my biggest concern is battery life...hard to say at this point...it did die today but i was playing with it all morning and doubt it was fully charged in the first place....after recalibrating it and having it for a few days ill have a much better idea

From computerworld:

The Shift will run Android 2.2 and features a 3.6-in. display, somewhat smaller than the 4.3-in. HTC Evo 4G that Sprint began selling in June, making it the first 4G smartphone on the market.

Processing speed in the Shift will be 800MHz, another indication of a reduction in size, as compared with Evo and Epic having 1GHz processors.
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
Word. I held out for the same reasons... needed a HW keyboard and since having the Samsung Moment wasn't about to get another Samsung phone. Picked up my Shift yesterday and couldn't be happier. Well... maybe once I get it rooted and remove the crapware :)

I just got the EVO shift and let me tell you it hauls ass. 1599 on quadrant 34.01 on linpack. It actually runs better than an EVO for sure.

The camera takes great pictures soo far and all around this phone is awesome. I cant wait till people see this actually is much faster than the EVO.

[EVO Shift 4G General] tps70:
Your comment about the G2 is similar to what I heard about the Shift's OC'ing capabilities - 1800Mhz!

Most people read that it's clocked 200Mhz slower than the original Evo & immediately write it off as a slower phone. They couldn't be more wrong! As far as the smaller screen goes, not everyone wants that monster 4.3" display. As I said in my earlier post in this thread, "it's personal preference".
[EVO Shift 4G General] tt c6:
If voice to text and voice dialing can be 100% reliable, I think the optimum screen size will be the largest you can fit in a front pocket.

If voice operation is not perfected and text input and phone dialing must be manually entered by hand, I think the optimum screen size is the largest that still will allow one handed operation.

In other words, I think the largest screen that allows you to

comfortably

reach ALL of the on screen keys with your thumb is optimal if voice operation isn't perfected..

With that said, I prefer a 4.3"+ screen size, but 4" screens seem to be the widest I'm comfortable using with one hand.
[EVO Shift 4G General] silex:
It's obvious why the CPU in the Shift is "underclocked" to 800MHz. The average Joe just cares about numbers and they didn't want it to tread on it's big brother Evo! It's a marketing thing. Of course, people like us in the know about die size and chipset numbers know better.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sapper3a:
Battery life on my Shift is absolutely EXCELLENT!
[EVO Shift 4G General] Enraged21:
I love my Evo shift.

And I saw a vid that ran a test on both evo and evo shift. even though the evo shift has a smaller processor, it ran faster than the evo itself.

The shifts 800mhz processor actually blows away the evos 1ghz. in all tests and aspects.

True..oc'd to 1.5ghz I hit 1857 on quadrant. Evo can't do that..I know, I just traded mine for the Shift. :-)

Hello,

I got my Galaxy S from eBay with a T-Mobile contract. The Galaxy S was a unlocked Vodafone one (Vodafone Apps, Vodafone Bootscreen but I can use it with all SIM-cards). So if my SGS would suddenly have a problem with don't know what could I still use the Samsung Warranty Service to repair it? Or do I have to go to a T-Mobile store? Because at Samsung they asked for a bill but I buyed it on eBay so I'm not sure if they would accept the bill.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ChronixPsyc:
Hi all, new user here and looking for some help.

Im using an unrooted Samsung Galaxy S Froyo 2.2 and I want to root it so that I can install an app that allows me to pick which screen is my home screen.

I downloaded the i9000 1-click root and everytime I get to the recovery mode, I select update.zip but it never updates and gives me an error something like:

E:\ Signature Verifaction Failed

Update aborted

(sorry if it isnt correct, at work at the moment)

Anyway, my baseband version is I9000NEJP2 and my kernel build number is FROYO.NEJP5

Does anyone have any tips for me as the only phone I have ever rooted was the G1 and that took me quite a while to work out what to do.

Thanks in advance,
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gtg2:
Standard problem.

You need to flash a kernel that supports clockwork recovery. Check the i9000 forum for kernel related threads (speedmod or cf-root). If you don't know hours to use odin, check the reference guide thread in the general forum.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] anthonylow:
Why don't you just install z4root?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gtg2:
That app simply roots the phone. Instead, you need a solution to replace 3e recovery with 2e. Those are two different things.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ChronixPsyc:
I just searched up on that cf-root thing and do I need to have something called ODIN installed before I flash my kernel?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gtg2:
Yes. CF-Root is installed via Odin. The CR-Root thread includes some instructions on how to flash it.

Read the reference guide on how to use Odin/where to find it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723596

Personally, I use the SpeedMod kernel because it has Clockwork recovery already included. The SpeedMod author also has a great tutorial on how to install it.

CM6.1.1 has been great for me so far. I've only had problems with USB tethering so far. Camera can be a little laggy but that is minor... CM has support for apps2sd. You can get a application from the market called App 2 SD that will help move apps to your SD if they can be moved.

Far as wifi tethering... search for "android-wifi-tether 2.0.6" in Google or ont he forum. It works well.
