No problems;). I know Samsung's updating is SLOW & there software is trash. I was just defending the NS because it's basically Google's phone and doesn't deserve to be associated with Samsung's updating track record. :D
[General Questions and Answers] pierrekid:
Haha very true. I wonder what will eventually happen with the vibrant customers. I actually feel really bad for them. I came from the cliq so I know EXACTLY what its like to fight for an update lol.

[General Questions and Answers] AntonJart:
Well, I enjoy even more pluss plan. I am currently looking forward to get a new/used phone. Maybe HD2 with its 4.3" screen and Android port. Dude scored above 3000 on quadrant, and 2000+ without overclock. I also love the fact it has an AMD GPU onboard.

I can get one for $250 used, or (wish me luck) refurbished from tmo if I can convince them to sell me one, because they made it available only to new customers...
[General Questions and Answers] AntonJart:
By the way, about vbetts you are wrong. All of the current phone companies have their fat negative. Vbetts by the way, if Im not mistaken him to another lama dude, said earlier that he would love to see NS coming from HTC. He has good points.
[General Questions and Answers] vbetts:
That's what I'm saying. I've been saying that in just about every post I've made in this topic. Samsung's problem is they can't keep an update schedule to save their life, Motorola only keeps their high selling phones updated and supported, and HTC has had their issues with build quality. Now Samsung and Motorola both have that issue, but not as much as HTC has had. But let's be real here, I'd still take an HTC device over Samsungs old software, Motorolas lack of support for a lower end phone and motoblur crap, and I also forgot Sony! The one that said the X10 is on track for Froyo, but launched with 1.6 and is only staying on 2.1 despite being a SNAPDRAGON DEVICE!!!!!!! What is the point in having a Snapdragon device on Android 2.1?!!!!!!!!!

Correct me f I'm wrong, but the high quadrant score is because of the EXT file system? It's been known to boost the results of synthetic benchmarks and not show a huge difference in real world performance. Basically inflated. Quadrant and Linpack are both Neon engine optimized as well, and Adreno is hardly an AMD gpu, not the conventional AMD gpu you would see in a computer. Totally different. The PowerVR SGX 540 in the Hummingbird is still faster than Adreno 200, and the 205 in Scorpion. Even the PowerVR SGX 530 in the original Droid is a faster gpu than the Adreno 200.
[General Questions and Answers] AntonJart:
@ vbetts

Wikipedia lists HD2 as having AMD 450 gpu ( numbers could be wrong). Is it good one or bad? About quadrant, not sure about ext, could be. I am quite a noob, can be wrong
[General Questions and Answers] vbetts:
When the HD2 was made, or right before it was made AMD which owns ATI, owned Adreno. ATI sold Adreno, but Adreno has no architecture that is similar to their mobile, or desktop gpus. Also think of the Quadrant score like a PC mark score, or 3dmark vantage or 11 scores. They're synthetic benchmarks to test the capabilities of the device, not just the performance. Performance is still a factor though, but the results in a synthetic benchmark will not carry over to real world activities such as real time open gl rendering, live Ray tracing, converting and building, etc etc.

The antenna is on the bottom left, which a majority of people hold their phone with their left hand. This also doesn't explain why even if you didn't hold the device, it would still lose a signal. Only reason it wasn't as bad as the Iphone 4, is because the Iphone's antenna was the whole band around it. In theory, it would increase reception, which it could if there was no direct interference like a hand that already has electricity flowing through. Their both design flaws, but what are you gonna do? They both could probably be managed and altered for better reception, but not completely fixed.

i double gripped my 6 year old ericsson and it went from 5 to 3 bars ...

you should understand everything loses a bit when it gets shielded in any way , theres nothing any comany can do about it , (except for a really strong signal that would fry ur brain)

i also had a hd2 and im left handed , never had any problems so they must of done a good job , as much as they could

i dont know why u wanna have a **** trowing fest on htc because of the law of physics , it looks stupid

here and now i challenge u to double grip ur current phone on your room and see what happens
[General Questions and Answers] iammodo:
I'm sorry but my last HTC was the hero updates on that was a joke and you want me to go back. No I'm happy with Samsung thank you

Sent from my NCC-74656!
[General Questions and Answers] vbetts:
I love how people do not read my posts...

I'm not having a "**** fest" on HTC. I don't know how many times I've got to say that. As I said, every phone has this issue, and it cannot be fixed completely. And one HD2 having a decent signal does not qualify EVERY HD2. Not only have I put out the faults of HTC, I've put out the faults of Samsung, Motorola, and Sony. And even Apple! It's stupid that you keep putting words in my mouth as well. My posts were not to call out HTC, my posts were to state that all the phone manufactures have their faults, and it's getting quite annoying repeating myself over and over because people don't want to read a topic correctly.

Also, no phones don't lose signal if their covered by everything. Most average plastic cases for phones do not effect the signal, or silicon cases. Any type of metal or aluminum case would, and a case that's probably about 1/8 inch thick would have a small effect on the signal.
[General Questions and Answers] souljaboy:
are you saying my ericcson has a design fault ?

ill just let ya know my nokia 3310 from 2000 loses a bar or two under the same conditions and yes , every phone will , did u do the test i advised u to do ?
[General Questions and Answers] nicksti:
vbetts - You know you have a problem right? If you do not know I can enlighten you as to what it is. You are trying to speak logic to someone who is logically deaf.

You are actually trying to reason with someone that says something subjective is official. The title of this thread alone reeks of ignorant favouritism.

Then like if your words are not etched permanently on a forum here is the really funny part:

"lol I feel so sorry for you samsung and motorola owners. It obvious these two companies are known for poor customer support, build quality and most important getting updates out to their phones" - pierrekid

vbetts then posts a wall of sources which show hardware issues with HTC phones.

"Ok first things first...STOP POSTING ABOUT HARDWARE ISSUES. Yes all phones have hardware issues which can be fixed/ handled by sending your phone to be replaces. This thread is about the updates and customer support." - pierrekid

You forgot in your first paragraph you said build quality? What is good build quality to you, a spectacular enclosure with crap components inside?

Now to updates.

Motorola has made 35 Android phones.

HTC has made 21 Android phones. I am not sure how to treat the T-Mobile ones so we can debate this number. T-Mobile G1 = HTC Dream. But there is no HTC mytouch.

The Google Nexus One for obvious reasons would be the first out the gates to get the newest Android updates, but some of the Motorola phones were not far behind. But I guess we see what is important to you: you do not care about crappy hardware, just give you an update fast.
[General Questions and Answers] souljaboy:
lol ... probably u fanboys are the reason xda was once htc only
[General Questions and Answers] vbetts:
No, I didn't say anything about sony having a design flaw, you don't listen very well do you?

This has nothing to do with anything! You're the one siding with the biased OP here.

[General Questions and Answers] souljaboy:
im sorry i re-read it now ... i might of been in a hurry

u just called it an "issue" , but id prefer "characteristics" , cuz it seems like theyve done something wrongly ...

now with the iphone4 , holding it with only two fingers , that may be a little more
[General Questions and Answers] vbetts:
Not a problem, but like I said with the iphone 4, that is a severe design flaw. It is with the HD2, but not as much now. All phones do have reception interference, that's for sure.

I want t to be the Llamanator. :D

Of the record:

I remember having old Motorola phones. First one was Motorola Talkabout, then C350, and then c380 :) And they were pretty good products, except if you drop c350 or c380 - they began to glitch. So Motorola was pretty long in the Cell Phone market.
[General Questions and Answers] nitro-ale:
I'm really angry with motorola policy for update, because there's an update for backflip to 2.1 only for US, and I live in Italy so I can't Update the backflip.

But.... the backflip is my brother's phone, and he's all about social and he's not interested in flashing and upgrading and all, he just want a good android phone with qwerty not made of plastic... and he's happy!

I own a huawei ideos, yeah really piece of ****, but it came with froyo, so huawei wins? I don't know really
[General Questions and Answers] vbetts:
The ideos is a budget phone, so there's not much really to expect from it.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] snappyfool:
I put WP7 on my HD2 today and the automatic network it picks is T-Mobile UK but I'm with Virgin. I went to the settings to look for Virgin but it's not in the list. If I use it as T-Mobile, is that going to count as 'roaming'? A text and a call I made over an hour ago haven't shown up on my Virgin account's recent calls yet, so I'm going to assume this is the case (it's normally takes less than 30 minutes unless roaming).

Does anyone know how I can enable it for Virgin?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hammered09:
Yep, I'm having the same problems... I can' find a place where I can change the settings to put a manual network in place...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] oc_masta:
have you installed the connection setup xap??

it will configure the phone for your network and needs to be done with HD2's.

im on t-mobile but could not use 3g or internet data unless i ran the xap and it configured it. maybe it will sort your problem.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] willj12:
Virgin use T-mobile's phone masts, you won't be charged any roaming fees.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Moon2:
Just to let u guys know, I did the same, and 3g works, it also displays virgin media now.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] TheOnly1:
To clarify things a bit. Some ROM''s don't display correctly the names ot virtual mobile operators like Virgin or Tesco in the UK or elsewhere in the world. Instead the phones display the name of the network that is actually used by the virtual operator. That shouldn't be a problem at all and involves no additional costs to the user :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] snappyfool:
Thanks for all the advice. I checked this morning and the call and text came through uncharged, so it wasn't roaming. Unable to confirm whether the connection setup suggested works for me as I got impatient last night and wasn't too impressed with WP7 anyway, so decided to flash NANDroid (seeing as I now had the right HSPL and MAGLDR in place for WP7).

Thanks again.

Not yet. I'm still digging. I'll update as soon as I find it. I've nuked a bunch more code, but the best I've done is gotten rid of everything in the status bar... which is bad... lol.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex_32571:
I just got my Archos 28 a day ago.. and while I was playing with it the screen randomly starts to get jumpy while using my finger. When I use a stylus it works perfectly, but I'd rather not carry around a NDS stylus everywhere I go. I've calibrated many times using both my fingers and the stylus, but it's still nearly impossible to type on the keyboard or drag icons around the main screens.

Are there any alternate calibration programs? Could this be a hardware issue?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] txtmikhail:
Have you used the one under setting>reformating>touch calibration..... try that one and reboot..

sent from epic 4g
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex_32571:
About 15 times... Haha.

It's weird because it's like it detects the full surface of my fingertip so it thinks I'm dragging it or something.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timehunter:
The 28 uses a resistive screen, which will not respond as well to a finger tip as the higher end conductive screens. The resistive type screens also require a bit more pressure than capacitive screens. Having used resistive screens for years prior to todays capacitive ones, I've always found using your fingernail instead of finger tip seems to works best if you are not going to use a stylus.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex_32571:
My finger works nicely on my sister's Archos 28, and we got them at the same time. It's actually a really nice resistive screen, some people thought it was capacitive until they used a nail or tried multi-touch. I don't think it being resistive is the problem though, seeing as I can use my sister's perfectly fine...

I want to try calibrating it using a different calibration app than what is already included in the Archos. I saw a thread somewhere on the internet about another application that worked for someone, but that was before my problem happened. Now I can't find it.. Haha.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baronian_cecil:
As the title suggests, I've seen plenty of documentation on the forums as to how to uninstall the Samsung bloat that comes with the Captivate, but what about those of us who want to install some of that "bloat" back onto a newly rooted/flashed phone?

One app I really liked for instance was the Samsung IM app (wasn't branded by carrier, was just a vanilla Samsung app - I believe it was part of the Social Hub) and I would love to get that put on my phone running Perception 10. I tried using Titanium to back it up and then restore it to the Perception ROM after flashing, but I just get either an error message saying that the Seven service is unavailable or FCs if I try any other ways.

Are there any links to apks or app dumps out there? Am I missing something? Forgive me if I am, I've been looking for a while but haven't managed to find any threads that actually have the apks/zips attached or go into great detail on how to do this.

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
I believe allot of the apps that are samsung are reliant on touch wiz. So if your rom does not have touch wiz, I do not think you bean use it.

UPDATE! Just updated the theme with a 2.6.1 version.

UPDATE NUMERO DOS: The problem where the menu text is invisible has been now fixed. This is not tested but there is a 99% percent chance it should have fixed the bug.

Update #3! All bugs fixed!!!!!!!!! w00t w00t w00t 99.99% chance of working, it is recommended to do a fresh install because I cahnged a whole buncha stuff that you cannot see but it should work without a fresh install.

Jesus, another update? here we go again.

I changed a few colors and changed the talk apk to the one tbaker077 made (which looks cool).

Another update! Fixed the gmail problem!

Thanks,

[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
I am going to stop updating this theme because at this point there are no bugs left and the developer of the original theme probably wont be updating his theme any time soon either. If anybody wants something changed in the theme just tell me and I will see if I can include an update for you.

I like the look of this theme, but can you make the battery icon a bit more gingerbread like as it sometime a bit hard to tell in sunlight where my battery is at. Thank you.

I am not sure. See what others have to say, I am flexible about this.

Ahhhh nevermind re the engraved version that belongs to one called matted gray. Forgive me please
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
No problem, if enough people like this I can make versions with different color schemes, just recommend it if you want it.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] tbaker077:
How about a pink one for the ladies, and for V-day coming up, and a the color scheme of the Lucid(the latest one for the DX) if that isn't too much work?
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
I can probably manage a pink one and I may end up just porting lucid over anyways, I am taking a break from theming for 5 days because I am extremely busy but I will see what I can do about a pink one
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] tbaker077:
That would be appreciated. Maybe when you have the time, you can do a cross mix of this and the Lucid theme(DX one again). Thanks.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
I think I will start working on the pink one in 3 days or so and I don't think I am going to make a mix of these 2 themes but I will port lucid over in the next 2 weeks or so.

Thanks,

ljbaumer
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] Mackattack:
Oh, man Elegant Lucid theme would be off the wall good. I want to see that on fo sure. Also, kind of hate to ask but since 2.6 is out you think we can get this one and the aforementioned suggested themes updated to 2.6(along with a 2.5.7 for those that still use it). Thanks a bizzle.

p.s. do you know what shade of pink you will be using? I think the D2/X needs a nice neon-ish hot pink theme and this could be it, or a nice kitty kat pink would also do.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
I will update this theme to 2.6 either today or tommorow and I will be using a hot/bright pink.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] Mackattack:
Can it have a slight hit on neon to it please, and hot pink is cooler and bright pink imho? Thank you a bizzle.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
I can do a neon pink if that's what you want, I will post screenshots on this thread of the progress so please check in and post comments on them, do you want to test it once I get it going?
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] Mackattack:
Well a hot pink with a hint of neon is what I'd personally like, but that is just me.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
Almost done with a first draft ;)

I've been making HUGE progress and the status bar is going to look great!

I will still have to make a bunch of modifications after I finish this draft but for now it is going great. What day is valentines day again lol?
