I dont even get what your doing in this forum then? this site has what seems like a hundred phones. I've never been in a forum of a phone i dont own or am thinking of owning. you obviously dont care for the NS. why are you here?

The NS is as fast or faster than any phone out right now. right out of the box, the mt4g might beet in in quadrant by 200. big deal. so the second fastest phone and the only one with NFC is an outdated piece of crap cause in 4 to six months a duel core phone will be coming out?

My NS and any other 1ghz phone is plenty fast for me and most people. (160,000 android devices sell every day) so I guess those people are all idiot as well?

I just dont get the point of you being here? I dont see you calling out people in the mt3g slide for purchasing an inferior phone. its probably still selling better than the NS.

If you want to be a hardware whore. that's your business. Most of use were probably N1 or worse phone owners before our NS purchase. And I'm fine with that upgrade. My phone broke and I didn't want to wait 4+ months to get a new one ;)

And not to do my own flaming on phones that aren't out yet. But i'm sure the switch over to duel core isn't going to be as smooth as I'm sure your hoping. I would be prepaired for some issues on launch devices... (hopefully not. but things rarely go smooth with new tech.)
[Nexus S General] greenstuffs:
I don't know why the need to use harsh words in a phone discussion, but that shows your level of maturity, you can't even spell :rolleyes:
[Nexus S General] dragon546:
I think it's a bit harsh of you to just label NS owners with that statement. I think ALL High end smartphone owners suffers from this not just NS owners.

True to an extent on the second statement but sometimes it's a pain to do all that. I have to admit I'm just lazy. I like the DHD but in the end I sold it I just could not deal with sense anymore even after using CM 6.1 on it. I guess I thought would stay with the DHD but alas it was not to be.

I have no regrets in what I did and I do enjoy my NS and I am happy with it. It is sad to see so many other high end smartphone owners coming to NS forum to put the boot in NS owners.
[Nexus S General] unremarked:
^ This is truth.

Beyond that, it's simply human nature to take pride in one's property. I had a friend who owned a busted up Pinto, but he was proud of it because, god dammit, it was HIS busted up Pinto.
[Nexus S General] dragon546:
When the DC phones start coming out on Sale the whole cycle starts again. I am sure there will be those putting the boot in on new DC smartphone owners... Sigh
[Nexus S General] greenstuffs:
I have owned this phone for 2 weeks, i wasn't satisfied with it, i hang here because i like getting updated with the latest developments.

I'm just saying google should have waited 3 more months and release a ground breaking phone instead of rushing a half baked for the holidays.
[Nexus S General] BlackOtaku:
Answer the question or I'll have to politely ask you to leave sir. *Snaps fingers, bouncers appear* :p

Honestly, he has a point though. So many people here just stop by to drop crap on the phone that don't even own it... The Droid X had a locked bootloader, which ticked me off a lot. If you check my posting history however, you'll see I didn't respond by hanging around their forums posting negative things about it for weeks after it's launch, I simply didn't buy it and that was that. </rant>

Not aimed particularly at you... But having random people come around telling you how 'X technology is superior and the NS doesn't have it, therefore it sucks' for weeks on end is irritating and grating on the nerves here. We know what's out there guys, many of us are Android fans that read blogs and knew that dual-core phones were coming, that it doesn't record stunning HD video, that it's basically a Galaxy S with stock Android and blah, blah, blah. We bought it anyway. Let us enjoy the damn thing.

Not saying you can't be here or can't be critical by any means. Just an insight into how some of us see the situation.
[Nexus S General] BlackOtaku:
It's already started dude, look at the people that have decided that the Droid Bionic is a failure and not worth buying entirely because it only has 512MB of RAM compared to 1GB. Even Tegras won't please some people. :shrug: :p
[Nexus S General] greenstuffs:
I wouldn't care about the specs on a phone if android could deliver an experience like the ios. The smoothness and fluidity is just not there. You had the wp7 phones and the os moves like butter.

I know android is better and I like it over ios but the thing I dislike is that the browser lags, and sometimes the phone just stalls. it is marginally better than the old n1.

People are ditching on the bionic because the motorola atrix has some stellar hardware.

You can't blame the crowd for wanting better hardware because people just want a better experience and the ns isn't quite there yet.
[Nexus S General] greenstuffs:
I still got the phone on cl anyways as someone was selling it cheap:). I figure worst case I get my money back.

I just find it funny how people can get angry just because of a phone, worst case we will most likely get another phone in the next 12 months.

[Nexus S General] mingkee:
I am part of the few having both (MT4 and NS). Let me break it down:

Screen: I have a good screen (SLCD) MT4, but NS simply wins on this part. Both are pretty visible under sunlight though.

Speed: If you play Angry Birds, you may know the answer. Mine encounters severe hiccup on MT4 when ad bar comes up while NS isn't that bad.

Media format support: MT4 wins on this part because it can play .wma and .wmv.

Reception: both have similar 3/4G reception by the signal dB value and ASU count. MT4 has better wifi reception though.

Earpiece: I can say both are similar. This is a bit unusual on NS as Samsung GSM/UMTS phones have badly compressed earpiece but it doesn't.

Speaker: MT4 is a serious loser on this part. If you want to use speakerphone, bring a bluetooth speaker in your pocket.

Battery: I think both are similar under my usage scheme. However, as AMOLED can kill battery under full brightness, MT4 may be better if you set screen on full brightness.

Build and feel: This is pretty subjective IMO, but I think NS is 0.0001% better on this part.

Storage: both have 1GB for application, but since MT4 accepts microSD, the possible personal storage can be 32GB (like I do). Don't overlook this if you plan to use your phone as primary media player.

Media experience: since I use winamp for audio, both are the same, but MT4 wins if you have slingbox. I have hard time to install slingplayer from the market (about 20 tries to make it work). MT4 can take "next" (press button twice) and play/pause function on iphone headset, but NS only takes play/pause.

Control: MT4 has trackpad and it's important for web browsing especially if you want to navigate the page has a lot of links, but physical buttons may subject to tear and wear. Genius button isn't that useful for me, so both tied on this part.

Miscellaneous: MT4 has wifi calling built in but it also has some bloatware I don't use. I have no problem with Sense UI on MT4. NS is much more cleaner like nexus one. The headset jack is located on the bottom on NS and I have problem to use the phone upside down because of that (you're hardly to tell top and bottom when the screen is off).

GPS: both can lock on pretty quickly outdoors, but I found the sensitivity on NS is weak as it keeps flashing when I use it inside a train or bus.

This concludes the comparison. The bottom line is: if you have EM+ plan, both are barely equal ($450 vs $530), but you can sweet talk with Loyalty to get MT4 a little bit cheaper off contract. Make sure you check the screen before accepting it.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
An excellent, well structured comparison that appears free of bias and is definitely free of emotion and insults like many of these threads devolve to.

THANK YOU.
[Nexus S General] AndroidZ28:
Battery is similar for you? I have both and Sense (as it is known to do) has horrible battery life compared to stock...
[Nexus S General] mingkee:
I set background data to minimum or on demand to help increase battery life.

Mine has decent battery though I have to take one more with me.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dajoker80:
I've searched around and could only find a way to dual boot a win 7 phone with Android and Ubuntu. Can I do that with a HTC Aria from AT&T with Android installed first? Any other cool hack and tips appreciated. I am technical and can do everything with an iPhone so since I got this for a penny refurbed on a second line I wanted to play with it. If I should return it for something more "hackable" let me know. Thanks in advance and no need to flame I really did search for awhile but nothing was definitive that I found.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Widget locker will do what you want. Then you can chose and customize your lockscreen
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deifyed:
Thanks for the answer Lennyz.

Is there a way to accomplish this without installing a new app? I.e. enabling Android's standard lock screen and disabling, preferably removing the HTC lock screen?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
Remove the sense lockscreen apk before flashing the rom, this will give the stock lockscreen except when answering calls. There is however a chance it also masses up the alarm but I'm not sure about that.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deifyed:
Thanks. The main reason why I was asking this was because I keep answering calls in my pocket. :).

I currently use WidgetLocker and its great. I only wish there was an easy way to revert to stock lock screen without having to use third-party apps.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajesh1108:
Hi ,

I Have just a question. People are making a lot of Custom rom with the new sense of Htc Desire HD. But can we install it on a htc Desire if we're rooted. As far as i know there are no big differences between Desire and Desire HD. Has someone try to flash an HTC Desire HD rom onto HTC Desire
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
Don't know if anyone tried it but think/hope not since it will not work. If you want a HD rom use a port from the Desire Development forum.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmalote:
The Desire HD has much more internal memory and the new sense needs more space than the normal Desire has. Therefore you can't just use a Desire HD Rom. You need a custom Rom that has been tweaked to fit to the smaller Desire's Nand memory.

If you want a Desire HD Rom, as suggested flash a custom Rom from the developer section, which uses App2SD to move apps to the SD card

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Sence 3.0 on the HTC Desire HD uses a diffrent framework to Sence 2.0 on the HTC Desire, so thats why a whole rom port is nessesary.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Macelangelo77:
Hi,

The kernel is the core component of every Unix-based build. It's the bridge between the hardware and the applications at the lowest level. Maybe this illustration helps to understand:

You can find more detailed info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(computing)

Sincerely,

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
And Windows. We just didn't go round changing them with Windows.

Yes you do - you can't run Android without one. Every build already has a kernel included.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] luffyp:
I wonder why is that? Is it because it's not open source?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
Yep - that's exactly why. Windows ran off the same kernel for years... both mobile and PC (different versions for each though).

Hi all, I am posting this in the Incredible forum because I think it might be a problem with the phone. With all that aside, here is my issue. I downloaded recovery (unrevoked) and it won't open on mac. Keep getting the application has crashed error. Tried to download reflash and it will open and read my phone but everytime after my phone reboots I get a message saying failed to flash clockwork image.

[Wildfire General] nachos011:
So here's the problem, I wanted to flash the cyanogenmod rom to my wildfire, which was running the sunaabh rom. Nothing wrong with it though, just wanted to try something new. So I made a nandroid backup. All's well and I wiped clear and proceed with the flashing. After a while the installation seemed to stopped at a point, I thought it was just installing so I left it there. After a whole hour it was still stuck. So I did the stupid thing a pulled the battery out. Now when I boot the screen is black but the vibrate noise of the startup is still there (silent boot) and the buttons light up, which I'm thinking it boots up fine. The problem is that the screen is blank even when I go to the HBOOT menu. Tried flashing a RUU but the program couldn't recognise the phone. I'm stumped now.

So what should I do? :(
[Wildfire General] ephbee:
try taking sd card out and boot into hboot
[Wildfire General] oshhh:
May be restoring the nandroid could help. I am not sure, but you can try.
[Wildfire General] ephbee:
he can't get to the nandroid though if he can't get into recovery,

have you had any luck nachos?
[Wildfire General] nachos011:
Well, it seems that the screen is the problem. It took a lot of reboot and pulling battery's but finally the screen was fine. Cyanogenmod seems to run fine too. But the screen would respond really slowly when I wake it and when I power it off, I'll have to be lucky again to get the screen running again. I did the smart thing and flashed a RUU (it can detect the phone now) and sent it to the shop to get it repaired. Oh well, thanks for your help! I really appreciate it :D
[Wildfire General] 0semaj0:
Quite strange...I had similar issue when I first flashed my HTC Desire where the screen was just blank, but it was at the time when the Desire moved from AMOLED to SLCD and some of the flashing caused it not to work...I thought I also bricked my phone but then flashed again then worked. Created a GoldCard just in case...good luck and just be aware that some phones may require a GoldCard to flash properly.
[Wildfire General] ScottPomroy:
So what you were facing was the black screen and everytime you put the battery back in and hit power it would vibrate 3 times? I am having the same problem. I was actually flashing it with this and it shut down and now I can't get it back on. But you say that after pulling the battery and replacing it numerous times it came back on?

Thanks for any info you guys can give me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcampos7:
I believe when clearing data, by selecting wipe sd partition in RA recovery, you'd be wiping whatever apps you have on your SD. But I would also like to know how to see the apps I've installed to SD via DT A2SD. Hope that helps somewhat.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
They're in .android_secure, but you won't see them while the card is mounted in android (i.e., through Astro). Put the card in disk drive mode (or pull it an use a card reader if you prefer) on your computer and you'll see a bunch of .asec files. They're basically encrypted containers, so you can't just pop an SD card with a bunch of paid apps into another phone and move them back to their internal storage.

I do believe it gets wiped by both clockwork and amon when you wipe data. They're encrypted with a key somewhere in your data partition, so they're useless once you lose that.
