[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Currently there is no chance of getting 2.3 or 2.4 without Motorola's help. The 2.2 we're talking about actually comes from Motorola. Motorola released 2.2 for the Korean XT720 in December, but won't release 2.2 in any other region. We're hoping Dexter can help us figure out how to run the Korean 2.2.

I am super disappointed about the locked bootloader. It would be bearable if Motorola intended to actually support the phone, but Motorola has officially announced that 2.1 is the end of the line. I will never again purchase a phone with a locked bootloader. I chalk that up as a learning experience.

As far as speed goes, I've only used an XT720--it's my first smartphone. It seemed faster than the Palm III I used for years ;). Eventually I came to feel it was unbearably slow in its "official" form. After rooting, applying the all-in-one optimizer, and replacing the class 2 sd card with a faster one, I'm pretty happy.

I don't use the camera much at all, though, and the few times I've tried to use it, I've been frustrated with the shutter lag (even with a class 10 card). There may be camera tweaks I don't know about, it's not been a priority for me.

If you unroot it and wipe the files on the SD, any ordinary person shouldn't be able to tell if it was rooted before.

re: rooting

any one who wants good android experience will root the phone

so, no worries about resale value there

re: video

there are plenty of apps in the market with better quality, just try them out, most of them are free anyways, see which one you like best

re: speed

the phone is stock at 720, not 550, only old ROM will still be there

the update is OTA, as soon as i turned on my new phone, it asked me if i wanted to update, and it was done, that was with the stock ROM, no root, no nothing

also, the CPU spec (manufacture spec of the chip) is actually rated for 1000 Mhz

it was actually under-clocked to 720 (550) mostly to save battery power

re: Froyo 2.2

yes it's true we might not see anything better than 2.2

but that is more than enough to bring out the full power of the phone

re: general

this phone is awesome, comparable to the latest stuff available, just the battery is a bit on the shy side 1390 mAh... which will get drained very quickly if you leave your phone running at 1000 Mhz all the time, reason why i speculate it was released at as a 550, and then updated by Moto to 720 to bring a happy medium for speed vs. battery life

it can run smoothly any of the latest 3D games that work on the other phones

it's one of the rare phones that have a true authentic Xenon flash, and not a LED light for "falsh"... i meant "flash" ;)

re: sound

simply the better one of all the phones i have

re: screen

is a normal TFT LCD, no much you can expect from it.... that's comparing it to a SAMOLED display, there's simply no comparison
[Milestone XT720 General] teruyume:
Hi, I am windmobile user with XT720, previous phone was Nokia 5230. XT720 is definately an upgrade compare to the Nokia, however, if you compare with other Android AWS phones, such as Galaxy S, Nexus One, Nexus S, it is a little behind. Consider I paid $250 for it (450 -$50 discount, - $150 windtab), it is actually a good deal for this phone.

RE Update:

With JIT enabled, App2SD, new Golauncher, it is acceptable without Froyo/Gingerbread. The down side is Flash 10.1, but the youtube app fixes it.

RE Speed:

JIT actually enhances the overall performance by a noticable amount, with slightly OC from 720Mhz to 850~900Mhz you could eliminates the lack in most game. Note worth: the default speed is 720Mhz@56vsel, but I could actually achieve 720@46, 800@48, 900@56, much of a performance boost w/o killing battery life.

RE Camera/Video.

XT720 is absolute awful when it comes to camera/video. the image quality is worst then my Nokia N73 (3.2MP). 720p video recording is terrible, laggy as hell, i rather record at SD resolution. If you plan to do alot of Photo/Video, you better go for X10i AWS, but X10i has a lot of problem of its own, but photo/video is definitely much superior to XT720

RE Screen.

it is a good size, not much to complain, nothing much too special either.

Re General Opinion.

for $250 (as i paid), i am cool with xt720 as an Android phone, but if you going to pay $400 brandnew for it, I suggest you get an lightly used Galaxy S from Kijiji or Craiglist or RFDs, probably around $480 ish. little more pricy but much better IMO.

RE U8100

I don't think U8100 is capable of providing user the full Android Experience, XT720 does however.

PM me if you have specific questions. Hope this helps you a little bit. :)
[Milestone XT720 General] syrenz:
Thanks, checking it out

Yeah, but considering the U8100 is like an entry level phone, I was worried that people unfamiliar with android would be scared off. Though I suppose I should check around and see what's selling on ebay

You mean it just utilizes the hardware better than stock app?

Oh good.

This phone can be safely overclocked to 1GHz? If so, that really increases the appeal for me.

Yeah, froyo seems to add a lot over most other updates.

What does very quickly mean? I'm fine charging my phone every day (like I do now).

It does look better than my current though I think.

Heh. I think I misunderstood how Windtab works. I'll have to check into it more.

I looked at some examples posted in someone's review and I thought they looked decent. I guess it's not actually :p. Whatever the case, camera/video isn't a major feature for me, but a nice one.

/goes to check out Windtab some more ;)

Thanks. :)

So I'm going to check out that link Allgamer posted, check out WindTab options some more (is it only for new customers?) and then see if I can figure out what I'm doing.

Are there any estimates for when the 2.2 will be ready? (And is it basically confirmed that it will happen?)

Thanks for all the help guys :D
[Milestone XT720 General] Vistaus:
The screen is actually much more beautiful than a AMOLED, but that is just my personal opinion.

And am I the only one who thinks this camera is NOT crap? Image quality here is more than fine and video @720p isn't laggy AT ALL. Note that overclock is needed to record in 720p, else the camera app will crash. But I don't care about that. Once overclocking is enabled, it runs really, really great :)

So I think many of you need to stop complaining. Or am I really the only one who is actually very happy with this camera?
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
i really like the camera as well, it is very good, it's great phone for taking picture
[Milestone XT720 General] trajano:
I suggest you stick with your current phone and buy a new phone from eBay which is compatible with WIND. Yu should get a Google phone at least you will always get the latest for it unlike us who are stuck with what is given. Unlike an Apple product you can easily watch others surpass you while you are stuck running old version of your software.
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
the top choices right now that are AWS (1700+2100) compatible are only this phone XT720 and Nexus S

the XT720 can be found for less than $400 new on phones stores, and are unlocked

the Nexus S, average street price is $700 to $800

unless you can travel to the USA and buy one yourself for $530+tax +GAS or plane ticket

the XT720 is subsidized by WIND & MobilityCity if you buy through them, so it's cheaper than $400
[Milestone XT720 General] syrenz:
What AllGamer said. Nexus S isn't as easy to get my hands on. And to be honest I do really like the design and features of the XT720. :p

I think what I need to do in order to figure out more about it (especially since I'm getting mixed reviews about the camera/video) is to check it out for myself. Which is precisely what I'll be doing when I head to a WIND store today or tomorrow. Hopefully they can also clear up the deal with WINDtab for me (I don't think I can use it since I'm not a new customer but who knows, they might be nice lol).
[Milestone XT720 General] syrenz:
What versions are compatible with WIND? Here's international version on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-MILE...BJC8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1296432364&sr=8-1 and it's new for $70 cheaper than WIND (and with Warranty). Compatible with WIND? Is there anything different from this and the one WIND sells? I'm just wondering why Motorola is selling it for $70 cheaper lol.

So after playing around for a bit, my first impressions: (granted, I didn't play around with it for very long)

Touch - Way better touch reaction than my U8100

Look/Design - Looks better (and much thinner) in real life. Really like the look.

Sound - Didn't get a chance to test.

Camera - I didn't play around with it for very long, but my first impressions were that the camera quality was very very nice.

Video - Also. I don't think I was even using the higher settings and I think this is better than my dedicated camcorder (flip mino - which does happen to be over 2 years old.)

Display - Very roomie (as opposed to the U8100), very visual.

Speed - Didn't get good oppurtinities to test with.

Anyways, I was overall impressed with it and I'm leaning towards buying it. They said that WINDtab is only for new activations, but I could just create a new account and get it for $250 ($150 WINDtab). WINDTab does expire on the 31st though which is like... tomorrow. XD

I think it makes more sense to get from Amazon though (provided that works with WIND). It will take quite a while to get $150 paid on WINDtab (with WIND's cheap plans). Additionally, if I make a new account I lose my current benefits of my special plan (which saves me $5 a month until September - i.e. $35 ). Through Amazon I save $70 and keep my $35 + I'm not forever stuck on paying off WIND.

My one major concern before making a purchase is if 2.2. doesn't get released (by Dexter) for this, but it does seem likely that it will be.

Anyways, if anyone could clear up the deal with Amazon (does it work with WIND?) as soon as possible (so I can figure out if I should buy from WIND), that would be a great help.

Thanks for all the help from you guys. :)
[Milestone XT720 General] teruyume:
It works on WIND.
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
my XT720 is international, not Wind model, but using it in Wind

and it's a shame to say, the XT720 works better (as a phone & camera) than the Nexus S
[Milestone XT720 General] syrenz:
See now you people were able to easily answer that question while when I asked on WIND community no one could give me a straight answer... (worst comes to worst there is Amazon's 30-day return policy)

Anyways, think I'm going to get this. :)

Time to check around these forums and figure out all the rooting stuff. (though I may just wait until Dexter does his thing before rooting)

[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
The situation is similar at Cincinnati Bell. The XT720 is much cheaper upfront than the Nexus S so that definitely tips the scales. It's pretty nice after rooting and optimizing and it is worlds better than the Nokia 6010 I was using previously. Plus, I like to ***** about multinationals. Win win.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] que3jxp:
So we all have issues with the i9000m and GPS (Or many of us do).

After I got my replacement hardware with a Dec date on it and when it was running 2.1 and was using whatever the version of Google maps was out at that time (Dec 24th), my phone was getting GPS lock really snappily.

After updating to JL2 of 2.2, it became unpredictable but when it was working, it was VERY fast. Two weeks later, my friend got his back and they had only replaced his mobo but he was unable to get a GPS lock in Google Maps or any Google app that used GPS.

Today, on break, after I had fiddled with my phone some this week, we tested what I was thinking of, that being: Google Maps or something with how it and 2.2 interacts is broke on our phones.

Here is what I did that was also tested and is doing the exact same thing on mine and my friends phone:

Install the Tricorder app

Reboot the phone (Either battery pull or power switch, same result)

Try to get a GPS lock in Google Maps (Our phones would time out to power save before it would get a lock)

Start Tricorder, go to the GPS/Compass section and wait for the satellite bars to turn blue

Exit Tricorder and then start Google Maps or any other Google app, the GPS lock will occur in less than 10 seconds every time

If anyone else could test this on the newer hardware or on a phone that had its mobo replaced, it would be nice to see if this is happening on more than these two phones.

And note that once I started and exited from Tricorder after it locked, all GPS apps now locked super fast.

Both our phones are running official JL2 2.2 with no rooting or whatnot.

Thanks,

Jason.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zorxd:
It is well known that you sometimes need more than 30 seconds (default screen off delay) to get a lock.

But if you start an application that can run in the background such as google navigation or my tracks (recording on), your GPS won't shut down when the screen turn off and you will finally get a fix if you wait long enough.

It is also well known that once you get a fix, if you loose it (by turning off your GPS app) you can get it back really quickly.

You didn't find anything special. Just leave google maps open (by pressing on the screen at least once every 30 seconds) and you will get a lock just as fast as with your tricorder app. There is no magic. You only need to leave your GPS on for long enough.

From my experience, I sometimes waited 2-3 minutes with JL2. But I don't care, as long as the GPS is accurate.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:

ok, so what if since either (can't say for sure cuz don't use gps much at all) rooting, or flashing speedmod k13e, when i pull down the tool screen and click on gps to turn it green, the gps icon does not appear at the top of the screen - i don't think it's on at all. apps like maps, gps navigator etc that use the gps don't work.

what's that about?

The same thing happens to me when ever I factory reset or what not. Go to your contacts list, pick one of your duplicates, long press and select edit. Press menu key then select join. Pick one of the multiple names and confirm. Then select join again and select the last duplicate of that name. Confirm. Now when you go back to your contact list there should be only one of that name. Repeat for other contacts. Now if your having multiple names pop up when you text still, you need to edit contacts again and this time delete all the duplicates.

Hi there XDA folks,

I encountered big problem. Somehow i "software half-broke" my Desire (GSM, polish ERA branded). Now i need Your help. It's kinda urgent cause i have to sell it within 3 days, because i already sold it on auction :(

General information:

- Desire, SLCD, branded by polish ERA

- rooted from Mac using Unrevoked3 Clockwork 2.5.0.7

- i was ung it various ROMs (with or without App2SD, LeeDroiD, Oxygen, Stock Rooted, i never used data2sd)

- i was NEVER messing with any kind of software neither hardware on Desire itself (only rooting + standard custom rom installation procedure).

- after rooting, before rom installations i made Nanodroid 2.1 Backup on SD

Informations form white bootm menu:

PROBLEM:

I can't install any kind of ROM - neither rooted stock, neither use backup.

Now what i did:

- bought

- rooted Unrevoked3

- made Nanodroid Backup

- installed custom ROM LeeDroiD 2.2 with newest possible RADIO

- thought about selling

- recovered from Nanodroid Backup to 2.1 (simple by using clockwork -> advanced -> recovery)

- then tryed to install pre-rooted stock ROM (it stopped after a while cause it appeared zip was inclomplete)

- now i can't install any kind of ROM and i end up with LOG like seen few line before

Help folks, help.

Questions:

1) If i use Gold Card and try to install RUU from HTC - newest possible, will it fix an kind of errors that Desire may have ?

After that will i be able to Root again?

2) What this above error means?

One more thing: 99% of time im on Linux. Do i need to use Windows? Will it be more safe (i can use Virtualbox).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
From what I see, you have not made a partition for A2SD+.

What you did before (rooting/unrevoked etc.) was good, but you forgot to create an EXT partition for your A2SD+.

If you have ROM manager, you can use that, but I recommend GParted, to create an ext 3/4 partition.

Shortly:

0. Backup everything from your SD Card.

1. create a GParted live CD/USB and restart your computer and make sure, it will boot from the GPL CD/USB you created.

2. Connect your phone to the PC as DISK DRIVE (However I use the mount USB Storage function in Recovery).

3. Delete your current partition (should show unallocated x.x GB)

4. Click on Create a new partiton FAT32 first but when you create it leave at least 1GB (NOT MORE THAN 2GB) for the EXT partition and make it PRIMARY

5. Create another partiton as EXT4 with the rest of the size and make it PRIMARY

6. Apply changes

7. Try installing ROM

8. copy back your stuf
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tab0reqq:
nagypapi,

thanks for answer.

So You suggest i need to "just" partition my SD card? (i have a card reader so it might be more safe, and less possible to srew up Desire :P).

Why the heck it is trying to find app2sd+ ? I never used that as i remember. And is it possible that after proper making of SDcard all will start working fine ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tab0reqq:
One more question. Shouldn't Nanodroid backup remove Clockwork menu (root) ??

also:

restoring data ...

.android_secure.img not found. Skiping restore of /sdcard/.android_secure.

On my first SD card where i made Nanodroidbackup i have clockworkmod directory where' all backup files are. I can't find there or in any other location .android_secure ....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
You said, you used A2sd+, but not D2Ext.

Anyways, you just need to partition it, and it should be working.

No, Nanadroid backup does not remove anything, it just back-ups.

Did not found .android_secure? Maybe there was nothing copied in that directory and/or was not created, it is not a major problem btw.
