for me its out of personal enjoyment....flashing roms and getting out of bootloops etc ;) As I understand (I am new to all this) it has been overclocked like you say and yes....according to benchmarks it makes a big performance increase. Real world difference....well its a fast bit of kit to start with but for boot times I find overclocked faster. I think the whole mod scene is great IF that's what you want to do, like I say I enjoy the whole process and it is useful to be able to get rid of apps you don't want or need. My first modded phone was a SE X10i and root+roms made a hell of a difference to that device which was and is handicapped by Sony. :)

Hmm, I see none of you use a screen protector. Any reasons for that?

I am going to buy the clearest and most touch responsive on the market, the Seidio USG Crystal Clear. I don't like my screen protector to mess with the colours and responsiveness, but I don't mind fingerprints: I just use a screen protector so that I know that I can easily take it off and that my normal screen isn't damaged. It feels a lot safer!

Funny though that you do use cases!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] distortedloop:
While it's not "gorilla glass", the screen is still glass, and it's very difficult to scratch glass. I somehow managed a small scratch on my very first iPhone (original model) despite kid-glove treatment, but I could only see it when the screen was off.

4 iPhones and 5 Androids later, with none of them using a screen protector, I've yet to have scratched any of them, even when placed in my pocket with other items like a second phone, headsets, etc. I personally just don't think they're necessary. YMMV

On the other hand, especially with Samsung's plastic backed phones, protection for the back makes some sense, as they do scratch up easily. My i9000 got scruffed up noticeably after a couple of months. I ended up putting an Invisible Shield back on it. Still haven't bothered with that on the NS, though.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Androyed:
Well, I know that glass is almost impossible to scratch, at least as impossible is Gorilla Glass (<- only helps it not to break when you drop your phone), and I don't want a screen protector to mess with the colours and touch responsiveness/feel of the phone, but with a super clear one like the Seidio it is as good as without a screen protector. It's just that I feel safer with a screen protector.

I think I'm just going to buy one, see if there is much difference between with or without protector in responsiveness, feel and looks. If there is much difference, I'm not going to use a protector. After all my brothers Xperia X10 hasn't got any scratches, and it doesn't have a screen protector either.

Nothing! I just think it is interesting to see which accessories people are using, and if they use custom ROM's. For example, I just found out that no one uses a screen protector!

Of course, you can add whatever you want. What else do you want me to know? :)

Other accessories: This pouch

Carrier (+ country): Vodafone, The Netherlands (I bought my NS from UK)

Subscription: I don't remember, but it is still the old unlimited one.

Notes:

I cannot stand screen protector, nor phone case. Screen protector is fine (I used it with my old WM), if applied "perfectly". Perfect = aligned correctly, and no trapped bubbles. Oh and the edge of the screen protector, it attract and trap dusts!

Since my HTC Desire, I just use soft pouch. And it is perfect for the naked phone. No problem with scratch or anything and the phone still looks new :)

Root? Probably ok for screen-shooting. But that's not worth the hassle, because I dont quite like custom ROM. Stock ROM is still OK so far. Even though has some quirks like un-stable WiFi and laggy browser which cannot be fixed with any custom ROM anyway :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Androyed:
@hierboven

Vodafone heeft nooit unlimited gehad, toch? Moet dan FUP zijn geweest. Ik denk dat 10x het gemiddelde nu wel gelijk is aan ongeveer 1 of 2GB, dus dat de nieuwe limieten voor Vodafone niet echt verschil maken.

Aan de andere kant, Vodafone controleerde nooit echt of je over je limiet heen ging. Je mocht zogenaamd ook niet tetheren, maar het werkte wel gewoon. Nooit een brief gehad ofzo.

Hi,

Now I remembered, my current Vodafone subscription is SIM ONLY + internet for 9.95 Euro, Fair Use Policy (I refer this as unlimited).

This is old one. If we re-new, there is no FUP for 9.95 internet access.

It will be limited to 250 MB / month if I am not mistaken.

We can go up to 1 GB, for higher monthly fee.

Well, I am enjoying this FUP while it last :)

PS: I don't speak Dutch even though I live here :) But I do understand the language fairly well.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Androyed:
No problem, I'll just write in English.

They are a little bit confused at Vodafone, at least at their website. There are two limits: 250MB or 1GB, but if you choose Sim Only (250MB or 1GB limit, doesn't matter) + Internet Bellen Blox, you have FUP. This Internet Bellen Blox, or Zorgeloos Internet Totaal Blox as it's sometimes called (on every page they use a different name for it:confused:), is 5 euro/month! They call it Internet Bellen because you are allowed to use VoIP. Anyway, that's a pretty good deal, certainly with the new limits.

So there is a way to get FUP, but it's pretty strange. Choose a Sim Only subscription with 250MB limit, add Internet Bellen Blox and you've just raised your limit from 250MB to FUP!

- Hi (=KPN by the way) has the fastest internet (if you are willing to pay for it :)): Internet Extreem with 2GB limit has a speed of 7.2mb/s.

- KPN's coverage is also very good, but so is Vodafone's.

- KPN is more expensive.

- Although Vodafone has a max of 3.6mb/s, it is not much slower than Hi's Internet Extreem with 7.2mb/s.

I had the same dilemma as you. Hi for super fast internet, or somewhat cheaper Vodafone? If I were you I would choose Vodafone. Coverage is about the same (just don't use T-Mobile), and internet is only a fraction faster, not so great for that price.

I like your kernel, too bad BT doesn't work
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] willverduzco:
Agreed. I tried the 1.2 with bluetooth, which is also CFS, but that one is much slower in synthetic tests and real world performance. I don't know what morphic did in between those revisions, but 1.3 CFS is great for performance (better to me than 1.5 GHz BFS, which also runs stably on my NS). I would kill for some bluetooth, though.

Right now, I have to switch to 1.2 GHz with bluetooth to make my homemade dock work well, heh.

After some further "investigation" it comes down to this...

Hi (total in the second year, most expensive year because the discounts ends): 44.95 p/m

By HI with this subscription i need to pay 52 for the phone, but it's with HI extreem internet.

Vodafone (total in the second year, most expensive year because the discounts ends): 39.50 p/m

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Last2No:
I was having the same issue with Alltel. Here's the deal; If you have access to a back-up of stock, flash it and make sure MMS works. Download APN backup from the market and use it to back-up the APN on your phone. Now flash the new rom. Run *228 or what your network uses for activation. Run APN and choose delete APN, this will delete APN on the phone. Do not delete back-up. Now click restore back-up and choose your back-up. When it is done close the app and reboot. MMS should work.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] somf559:
what do you mean by this part "If you have access to a back-up of stock, flash it and make sure MMS works"?? I'm confused..

You need to get back to the point when you could mms. That would require"stock" rom .

[Defy General] Jygar:
Hi Guys,

Previously I have had a HTC Magic, Vario II and Vario III. Am used to easy flashing and updates lol.

I know Moto have got a locked bootloader (seen the news about possible unlocking coming) however I could not resist the Defy as T-Mobile UK gave me a fantastic deal.

T-Mobile handsets come "customised" something that is not popular with me will probably debrand it.

1st question, can I flash back to the branded firmware if it needs to go back to T-Mob?

2nd question there is alot of talk over 2.51 normally I would automatically upgrade to the latest ROM however am unsure if it is worth it?

Cheers,
[Defy General] pomah:
The easiset thing you could do it so make a nandroid backup of your current setup and then try what ever SBF you want except for 2.51 (this due to the fact that it has a non downgrable bootloader).

I bought a german defy and I installed the 2.31 firmware which I'm happy with. Since then I have also deodexed the system files and removed some apps that I dont need.

Just read through the faq/guides sections of the development board and you will be fine.
[Defy General] Step666:
If you're new to the Defy, this guide is indispensable.

I links to a series of other guides but it lays them out in the order you should do them and the author also adds his own little notes which are very helpful.

Personally, I flashed the 2.34 ROM as it's got less Blur crap on it.

There are also Froyo ROMs kicking around but they're basically backups from other people's phones, as opposed to proper builds released by Motorola.

I exchanged a phone today because of random shut downs. The service center originally tried to give me a build 1008 phone, which is the same build I had with random shutdowns and lost 3 button recovery. I raised a stink and they gave me a 1009 build.

Is there a catalog of issues by build? If I use Odin, will I loose 4 button recovery? Is random shut downs an issue with this build? GPS?

Is there anything I should know or watch out for before flasjing roms and rooting this phone?

Thanks

just my 2c
[Captivate General] richb500:
I read in the Vibrant forum that number isn't a build number... its the build month and year in Europeen format, so your first phone was made in 8/10. Your new phone was made in 9/10. I know that it does hold true for my wife 2 Captivates (exchanged 1010 for shutdowns), as well as mine.

That being said, the memo warns about all phones prior to 11/6/10. If this is a build month, then I would insist on a 1011 or higher.

When I exchanged my wife's phones (within 30 day period) I looked up the build date on Samsung's website based in the imei number on the phone box without even opening it before accepting it. You could do this to to be real sure it is built after 11/6. They're knowingly selling defective phones, so don't feel bad insisting on whatever it takes to make you feel whole.

Her new phone is 1012 - built on 12/25/10. No shutdowns yet and the GPS works well - even better than her 1010. I'm jealous of hers. Mine works ok, but randomly losses itself for 10-30 seconds while driving.

Both of our phones are stock and unrooted.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lukesan:
I have been trying google navigation a couple of times over the last months.

Most of the time I had set it to sat view just because it looks kind of cool.

In 9 out of 10 cases it will completely hard lock the HD2 after a minute or 30. Basically it means that you have to yank out the battery because the screen is frozen and nothing works anymore to kill the task.

My HD2 is not getting warm or anything, and other navigation software works perfectly.

So bassically it happens on any android build on mine, sd or nand, all the same issue.

Does anyone experience the same?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Gushfevah:
