Hello evereybody.

I searched all the NET but no answer.

I think is very difficult use hard keys (HOME and BACK) on a android systeme on my HD2. My fingers are long :D

So it will be cool if somebody do a soft who do same actions like hard back and home keys.

For exemple we can slide left for replace BACK hard key or slide right for replacement of HOME hard key.

Another exemple a soft who use multitouch possibilities.

What do you think?

Hey.

I'm new on this site (btw. - it's great)

I'm also not very good in english lenguage so i can make many mistakes in my thread

under this note you will se what are the "+" and "-" of both phones.these are things which i think are impotrant but ill be greatfull if you can help me and tell me other things about these phones.

And i know it's an Android subforum but i want unbiased opinions

Thx a lot.

OK-so that's the point

I'd like to play games on my phone but i'm also thinking about future of both the phones..so ;/

Why should i buy iPhone?

+So many games

+the games are working so smoothly

+don't you think that the gyroscope is working better on iPhone than on Android?

+?they say that they may add swype to iOS?

+300000 apps

+support and guarantee to return I to salon without giving any reason...(as i heard)

-no SWYPE

-prize

-"limited menu"...you know-only menu without any good developed menu

Questions about iphone

-Does it have 4g

-ppl say that I have problems with hotspot wifi -is it true?

-why should i but Iphone not Nexus? (or galaxy s) XD

Nexus s (Android)

+good for developing

+its making better and better every day

+SWYPE

+menu...i mean that there are so many options

+4G

+it's looking better than I (i think)

+good and the fastest support as its a google phone

-less games

-lol is it all?hmm...

questions about android

Will i play "Real racing 2" , "canabalt" and many good games which are only on iOS?

If ill buy Nexus in USA and Get it to Europe will i be able to call? i mean the regional blockade or something like this...How to unlock it?(if i have to do something like this)

....Damn i know that i forget to write some questions...maybe ill add some questions

PEACE,Kolro

ps:OR MAYBE I SHOULD BUY HTC BLACKSTONE-touch HD?(or something like that...)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpsalas:
Why iphone: 1more app

Nexus s: better looking and androod is better then ios imo

And nexus s dose not have swype only the galaxy s u shoukd buy a 4g galaxy s wich is nice and has everything a sgs has plus a qwerty keyboard!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
posting for advice whether for a iPhone or Nexus S on a Nexus S forum isn't very clever, you're going to just get straight up Nexus S posts. I'm not going to try and convey you on getting one or not get it at all.

@jpsalas: No. The Nexus S doesn't come with Swype but you can install it by applying for Swype Beta on their website. Nexus S has 'better' developer support when it comes to ROMs and it is a unlocked bootloader phone (easy to lock, unlock)

Nexus S does not have 4G. In the end, the big picture is that Android is everlasting expanding when it comes to apps. It's more about quality than quantity. Every app that you can imagine is available on the market, it is also a non-restrictive market compared to Apple's App Store.

If you want to customize your phone, it will be a Android phone. Otherwise, you'll be stuck with the same design just like everybody else who has a iPhone.

If you're going to by a Nexus S, get it from that place that sells it from the UK (Something warehouse). It'll be faster than buying from the U.S.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolro:
ok so Iphone is "out'

now the thing is -nexus s of galaxy s

If galaxy - which variety?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
The Nexus S... without a doubt. The Galaxy S series are updated and maintained by Samsung, we all know how bad Samsung is when it comes to software updates. When they release a new update, they may not release the source code for the kernels right away.

With the Google Nexus S, it is supported and maintained by Google. This will guarantee more firmware updates, you will also get your updates right away due to it being a 'pure google' device without any carrier or manufacturer bloatware.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolro:
ok.big thanks

i think...we can close this topic,but if someone want to tell anything more then...

Let it stay open :P

One more time thx zephiK
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythamp:
I have both and it is a really tough call. You have the beautiful smooth iOS with unbeatable camera and music player. With nexus you have an amazing screen with openness to do your own creativity. Only thing that pisses me off about my iphone 4 is the hardware glitches which can never be fixed, apart from the antenna problem, the proximity sensor is pathetic.

My honest call would be: Jailbroken iPhone 4 just because of the amazing entertainment features.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NexusDro:
Just a note that the nexus s does not have 4g. It has hsdpa 7.2 mbps and hsupa 5 mbps
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolro:
ok thanks for good opinion.

The only "noob" thing about Iphone is the prize...i have money to buy that but i also want to have some buX in my pocket :P

ok then...lest see what will say other XDA members

Thx
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolro:
ummm next question :P

If ill buy iphone in USA can i break the regional blockade ?

Is jailbreak erasing it?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythamp:
You cant if you buy the phone from atnt, they are locked. Software unlock is not available yet (till iOS 4.3 is out) but jailbreak is there i believe.

brand new officially unlocked iPhone 4 should cost about 800 usd in NY (this would allow you to use any gsm carrier in the world without software unlocking your phone). Unlike Nexus S, which is fully unlocked.

Now you see 800usd vs 530usd ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meetagrawal:
If you compare any application that's on both platforms, iPhone has much better quality and UI as compared to the Android version.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ap3604:
Your right, I had a hard time understanding you ;)

But I thought I'd try to give you the pro's and con's of both systems :)

iPhone Pros:

+ Guaranteed to be the best phone of its type for an entire year

+ Guaranteed to get a yearly update

+ Guaranteed not to have any carrier bloatware

+ Most people say it runs "smoother" than Android

+ Stays connected to wifi and doesn't get disconnected while in sleep mode

+ Amazing camera sensor

+ High build quality

+ Very good speaker quality

+ Ability to use HID bluetooth keyboards with it

+ Very easy to jailbreak

+ Amazing typing experience with auto correction on the keyboard

+ Very easy to sell you iPhone since there's only one model each year (with Android it's harder since your phone gets outdated VERY quickly)

iPhone Cons:

- Only one single phone option (3.5 inch screen is the only option)

- No HDMI mirroring

- Not as good of a notification system as Android

- Apple can reject certain apps that it doesn't like (such as gaming emulators)

- Non-removable battery

- No native free turn-by-turn GPS with spoken directions

- Cant customize your homescreen without jailbreak

- No 4g

- Can almost never get a "deal" on current iPhone since Apple will ban any retailer that lowers the price below $199 with 2 year contract

- Can't refund any app purchase (once you buy it you buy it)

- Only a couple of contract options available (Att $55 or $65 and Verizon $70)

Android Pros:

+ Free GPS turn-by-turn directions with traffic and rerouting!

+ Great notification system

+ True multi-tasking

+ Removable battery

+ Every U.S. carrier has a really good Android phone

+ Can pick a different screen size

+ HDMI mirroring

+ Can get a good deal on phones via amazon, wirefly, letstalk

+ Google doesn't ban applications from the market

+ Game emulators freely available

+ Can refund an app if it doesn't work properly (within 15 minutes)

+ Ability to tether easily without rooting (Froyo or PDAnet)

+ Customizable homescreen

+ Quicksettings app for easy to reach controls with one click

+ 4g phones available

+ Different keyboards available (swype, swiftkey, etc)

+ Google constantly continues to give us free toys that really help us out (Google Voice, Google Maps Navigation, Google Sky Map, etc)

Android Cons:

- No HID bluetooth keyboard support

- Less battery life than iPhone on single charge

- Unregulated market makes it easier to download virus / malware apps

- New Android phones released every few months which make your phone a dinosaur

- Manufacturers withhold software updates to get you to upgrade

- Android fragmentation where you have some phones stuck on old software

- Wifi constantly disconnects while in sleep mode

- Typing on the regular keyboard not as good with autocorrection as iPhones

- More complex and dangerous to root/flash roms an Android device than it is to jailbreak an iPhone

It's up to everyone to decide whats important for them but hope this list helped :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabromov:
I'd avoid samsung products and wait for Android 2.4 (from another hardware vendor) or Iphone 5.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Samsung Nexus S is maintained by Google.... not Samsung. Therefore it's guaranteed updates to Android.

This is untrue, Google does regulate the market but its in a more relaxed environment. If a malware/virus is uploaded to the market, it'll be removed by Google.

There is always security apps but the rate of downloading a virus from the market are relatively close to none.

Do yourself a favor and read what a app needs in terms of permissions before using it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ap3604:
Yeah I agree, the virus will be removed by google AFTER you've already downloaded the virus and it's reported to Google ;)

Apple has a more secure app approval process where the app is tested by actual person before it gets into the market. With Google they are much more relaxed and will remove the virus app after enough people download the virus and report it...

Of course I use common sense when downloading apps by using Lookout, making sure its permissions make sense, and having at least 50,000 - 250,000 or more downloads. But not everyone uses common sense and that makes Apples approval system of testing the app by real people before it gets approved for the market more secure than Googles system of no testing at all.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKYang:
This is a very simple decision.

Galaxy S = Multimedia friendly (can practically play anything fine), lots of camera features, and I think thats it.

Nexus S = Doesn't have much codecs compared to Galaxy S, but every software update comes straight from Google.

So you decide which is more important for you. Multimedia or fast software updates.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolyan:
Tough call because iPhone has better quality and looks very nice and solid. **** lots of apps too, noise cancellation, nice screen, gorilla glass, accessories. NS is crappy phone, but it has Android, dev support, 4.0'' screen, and very customizable....I dont even know if iPhone has widgets....its the best part about Android. Cant comment on games, but I am sure iPhone is light years away on this....both dont have 4G.

I would probably take iPhone over NS. iPhone has many thoughts put into it, NS has ZERO thoughts in it.

oh....i think iPhone has better battery life.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SugarMouth:
Tough one, iPhone is a better experience, Android does more.

Your fine with either phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogol:
iPhone is fine, it works ...

But, if you like to tinker , customize and willing to be part of Google "beta tester", Nexus S is for you :)

Like this Gingerbread, it has quite a lot of glitches. Don't worry though, Google will fix it and you will get the update right away.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonex1:
Note: the below is my opinion only.

Get iPhone 4 or an upcoming HTC phone. From my personal experience HTC is the only manufacturer that can rival Apple's durability and build quality. Plus traditionally there's tons more custom ROMS for their phones. Galaxy S line has had many too but most are to fix its issues not to improve upon the existing phone lol. And yet the GPS never works the way it should (yeah it gets "better", thats not "should").
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolyan:
Too bad Verizon iPhone is not LTE......I hear their "3G" network is overloaded already....otherwise I would dump my Vibrant and Tmobile and switch to Verizon and iPhone in NO time.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhilashraj:
Do you already have an iPhone?

If yes...then you'd get bored of another iphone pretty easily..

it feels identical to what you've used for the past how many ever years...

I've had many friends feel dismayed because their shiny new iphone 4 really had nothing shiny in it other than a new screen (meaning that they got bored of using their new phone really fast..there wasnt that 'excitement of a new phone' to it)

BUT ..if this is your FIRST 'super-smartphone' (i.e ur switching from eg. Nokia (Symbian) or an old windows phone) then yes GO FOR IT..people get FASCINATED by iPhones easily... to me, an iPhone was a great way to get introduced to the new class of smartphones..

and then when you get bored and angry with apple's control-freakishness (eg. they say you can't have new SMS tones on your iphone 3g because..err...well u just need to buy a new phone for it) ...then u can switch to an android =)

I'm going to buy a 16GB microsd card from sandisk. I've been finding on Amazon and found these two products:

Sandisk 16GB Mobile Ultra MicroSD Card : £36.00

SanDisk 16GB microSDHC Memory Card : £15.99

I've also noticed they're all class 2 (can't find a class 4 or class 6 sandisk). So what is the difference between them? I'm using the card for Windows Phone 7, so which one should I buy?
[General Accessories] TazmanX:
Ha, i'm looking to buy a 16Gb card for my htc desire and I was looking at exactly the same cards.

As far as I found so far the ultra version seems to be class 4.

If you have any new info it will me much appreciated.
[General Accessories] mimorex:
well in some pages you can find comparative boxes about those micro sd, i remember that microsd 16 gb sandisk (class4) is more faster than 16 gb kingtons class4 , so i supousse that this ultra micro sd is like class 6 real XD, i will find some information about it, oh plz don't forget that some devices don't support those kind of micro sd (an example htc hd2 has little bugs with microsd class 4, i have one...)

Sorry if i don't write well but i'm peruavian =)
[General Accessories] tzacapaca:
Hey guys,

Can any of you confirm if Android is booting from Sandisk 16GB Mobile Ultra MicroSD Card ?

I want to buy one but i saw in forums that some cards doesn't work for this..
[General Accessories] qqstars:
the ultra one has the better speed and more stable than the normal one. And, it has the same compatitablity.

So, if you are not concern about the price, the ultra one is the better choice.

Also, that should have the extreme III type, that is the best~

16GB Sandisk Micro SDHC

I'm currently using 16GB Sandisk Micro SDHC (class 4) for my LG P500. It is fast & I have not encountered any issues so far.

I've been using Sandisk memory cards for other gadgets & I think it is one of the most reliable brands that is available in my location.
[General Accessories] Pinktank:
With sandisk/kingston, class 2 should be fine too. CLASS 4 might help recording high def video
[General Accessories] caanda45:
Stick with the name brands and forget the Chinese non name brand off off of Flea-bay, they are crap and do not work imho!!
[General Accessories] big_bake:
The more expensive cards are usually just higher speed.

I use fast cards in my DSLR to help when shooting bursts. Slower cards fill up, and drop the fps.
[General Accessories] MinhKotex:
I'm currently using 16GB Sandisk Micro SDHC

Go for the Ultra microSD, it's faster!!
[General Accessories] zarathustrax:
You should choose your memory card depending on what you're going to use it for. Either way, you should go with Sandisk cards, as they are the highest quality and produce their own chips. Kingstons should be avoided even though for some reason they are known as a quality brand... kingston just buys chips from other manufacturers and puts their name on them.... you will find many different kinds of chips inside kingston, so you will find more variation and defects from batch to batch.

As far as class, that is only referring to the sequential write speed. If you are getting the card for a digital camera, then a high class card is good, because you will be writing a lot of files sequentially.

But if you plan on using the card for WP7 or to run android of off, generally a class 2 or 4 card is better, because they have better random access speeds. The tweaks card makers do to make cards have higher sequential write speeds many times will lower the random access speed, so you will have more issues running WP7 or Android off of a class 6 or 10 card.

[General Accessories] zopfan:
I know the thread is old, but still.

I know thread is too old to write anything. But still (since google pointed me here)...

I've used both types of cards and have found that Sandisc ultra (Red & Black) is far better in speeds and reliability than the Sandisc simple/normal black colour chips. Also know that there are further/more better than ultra, called by Sandisc as extreme and Extreme Pro.

Also warranty for all is same: Lifetime. And Sandisc provided me a new chip within 25 days after my old 32 normal chip went faulty.

[General Accessories] MasterrSkywalker:
I discovered - the hard way - that "normal" class 2 or 4 MicroSD cards won't stay alive very long on Samsung Note 4 or similar phones... One day they stop working and all pictures and info is lost forever. The only MicroSD that can get the job done is a Class 10 UHC Sandisk card. I have used Kingston and all died only after a few months, specially if you install apps on them. They can´t handle the workload and you will end up losing everything you have on them. I have one of the red and gray Sandisk cards and it's awesome. It's fast and it's still working after 2 and a half years of use in a Sony Xperia Z2. Gotta love this little tough card.

Hi,

I read everything i could find and I still can't get anything to work properly on the phone.

Is there even a milestone wiki so i know which version my phone is?

I got the open recovery thing to work once, but i can't get it to work again, it keeps saying I have a cache error. what do i do?

also, when I install app2card, it totally ruins my phone, is that app meant for my phone?

I tried to install app2sd, but it keeps saying busy box permission failed something.

I got my phone thru ebay, how can i check the region?

I just know I have an unbranded milestone.

I google all these questions and nothing helpful comes up.

If you have nandroid file in your sdcard,you can copy and paste (anything that is important to you) to your PC.

1. Take out your sdcard and pluck it to your PC if your Milestone cannot switch ON

2. Format your sdcard via PC

3. Extract G.O.T OpenRecovery v2.00 or Androidiani OpenRecovery 3.3 to the root of

your sdcard. (you'll see OpenRecovery folder and update.zip) Put the sdcard to your

Milestone and enter bootloader.(Press and hold volume up+camera key & power ON)

4. Open RSDlite and connect to your Milestone. Flash sbf to your Milestone,stock ROM

or 2.2.1 G.O.T beta version

Guide -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=696845

5. Your Milestone will be switch ON after flashing sbf is done. Turn it OFF and enter

into recovery. Press X button and power ON. Once you see the triangle and '!',

press volume up and camera key.

6. You'll see Recovery 2e, all letters in blue, select update and the rest is your choice.

You can nandroid backup if your Milestone works as before and restore your previous nandroid that you copy to your PC.
