[Adam General] Rabenvogel:
Hi there!

Thanks for your review, I'm thinking about getting the PixelQi and just wanted to ask a couple more questions:

I hear a lot about the bad viewing angles, but I don't know how far it would actually bother me. I'm thinking that I just want to put the adam flat on the table and use it like I would do it with a piece of paper. Is it possible to use the adam like that or do you have to keep your head at the exact same spot all the time to read the text? (In the backlit mode)

Same usage scenario: I think I read somewhere, that the camera doesn't swivel far enough to be able to video-chat without tilting the adam up. Can you confirm this?

And one last question: Did you check out Evernote? Is it working? Any major problems?

Thanks a lot!
[Adam General] LeviathanPT:
Thanks for the comments.

At this moment im typing this from my bathroom using the adam like if i was on the outside, i have a newspaper right next to me and i can read perfectly like i would read the newspaper, the viewing angles are not bad using transflective mode. Evernote works like a charm.
[Adam General] SimonCt:
@LeviathanPT Are you find a good program to watch videos o a fix to resolve the lag?
[Adam General] LeviathanPT:
Nop, tried Rockplayer and some others but all do the same, this seems like the same kind of desync i have when trying to play One Piece Episodes by Yibis through PS3 Media Server, it just desyncs. Seems to be caused by software not hardware limitations.
[Adam General] Flaunt77:
update 3 is supposed to fix video desyncing issues according to the change log and user experience on forums (not my own personal experience as I do not have an adam yet)
[Adam General] LeviathanPT:
I havnt installed that yet , gotta give it a go when i get time.
[Adam General] finndo:
also have my Adam on order, arriving after the 25th! cannot wait, I started following Notion in in 2009 when the first mention of it came out, I think only 1 or 2 news posts before CES, but I was interested and impressed with that first announcement, it will be so nice to finally get one!

first things first will be rooting!

going to give robo defense HD a shot (in beta now), several things already mentioned, Remote Desktop, Remote VNC pro, I Want to see if I can get swype on it as well, also looking forward to skype video chat, and planning on putting a 32GB microSDHC in it with all my digital books. And then I am testing the Citrix app for Android on my Evo now, hopefully no issues with the Adam, so I can work from my Adam. probably will end up with a BT keyboard if I cannot get swype.
[Adam General] LeviathanPT:
Nice, i tried setting up a VNC at work but it didnt work.

As for the update it indeed fixed the desync in videos, i can even play mkv now!
[Adam General] Fredoo.net:
Thanks for the review, I was looking for one.
[Adam General] Raul^:
You could try teamviewer, it works for me on Android phone and mac/pc.
[Adam General] LeviathanPT:
Ill give it a shot this Friday, thanks!
[Adam General] clockcycle:
2nd day with mine.

I love the PQi screen and how I can absolutely without a doubt use my Adam in direct sunlight. Useful as I spend a lot of time in the car.

My unit was not one of the last batches that got their screen protector installed at the factory.

The last portion of the delivery was done by UPS Next Day Sav.

I have a dead/stuck pixel up on the left 1 inch from the corner in landscape mode.

Speakers aren't as loud as I expected.

I like Eden, personally I didn't want to flash a custom rom removing it just yet, as I didn't want a GIANT version of my EVO.

I had to run z4root to have the proper files put in the right place to have some apps that require root to work (i.e. titanium backup).

Tested Yahoo Messenger Video calling feature and it works, except the receiver sees you horizontally..

So far...

-CC

EDIT: Apr. 2, 2011 a few more days;

I have a dead/stuck pixel on the 1" from upper left top side in landscape, only noticeable on a dark/black background.

I installed the screen protector, at first I used the steam shower method to reduce airborne particulates. Wiped the screen with a glass cloth. Attempted to unstick a portiin and apply it slowly exposing more, but still ended up with dust. I wiped the screen with the included cloth, but got dust on the protector side. Thought I ruined it, so I decded to wash it, and used the soapy water method. That took a few tries cleaning the protector a few times, but worked out. Used the included soft card to squeeze the bubbles out. Still got one dust particle near the ambient light sensor. That was last night, this morning I noticed one tiny bubble. I haven't removed the front mask yet. It might need more drying time, as I notice rainbow streaks between the scree ane protector still. But IMHO it is crucial to protect the screen from scrapes.

I realized I will be needing some sort of kickstand that works on hard surfaces as well as soft (ie table, desk, leg, stomach, bed).

I am still stock with root+ market mod. Unit already comes rooted so no need to worry about voiding your warranty. You just need to put the missing apps in the righ places for apps that requir root tomrun correctly.

I really enjoy EDEN. I didn't want th standard android experince, as I already have plenty of that on my EVO ane other android devices. I did install Zeam as an alternate launcher.

Battery life has been really decent.

I tether to my phone for internet access when not near wifi. I am considering a data plan from At&t.

Gps is acting strangely, compass is whacky.

I updated from NIP920210311 to NIP920240311 and it is much more responsive.
[Adam General] Hige:
Nice reviews, very reasonable and straight.. i like that.. (As you know, many times you just saw reviews with the good points and here you are taking it real..)

BTW, LeviathanPT, did you paid any tax? VAT or costum dutys?

I hope i get mine in next delivery that NI will make..

LeviathanPT, did you get yours with the 3G?

Does anybody knows if rooting and flashing the device will void the warranty?

Will it be possible, in the 3G version, with the SIM card in to use Adam as a mobile phone? (just wondering.. lol)

I guess that's all my doubts for now..

Hope you tell me some advices LeviathanPT, as we are kind of neighbours :P
[Adam General] LeviathanPT:
Thanks for comments on the review. Yes i did pay VAT for the product at customs, they charged the same as if it was a laptop. Mine does have a 3G capability even tho i havnt used it much besides to receive SMS.

According to Rohan he will allow rooting to a certain point without voiding warranty, he even commented that most of the Adams that gone RMA were traded even rooted. The interview is at NIH if i recall.

Adam Phone? Just depends on the developers, anything is possible imo.

PS: Congrats for your Adam Clockcycle, hope to see a review :p
[Adam General] Hige:
Thanks for the quick reply..

How much did you paid in €? The final total..

Do you have the 900/2100 MHz version of the 3G?

Thanks about the 'root/warranty' information, i'll check out more info at the notion ink hack then..

Humm.. nice, so the wise choise might be the wifi/3g tablet..

What about the Pixel QI and the LCD diferences? I watched the videos in the other thread and imo the lcd handle better in closed ambience with no direct light.. Pixel QI in some videos the white color looks more yellowish than the lcds.. what i'm trying to say is that the white looks more yellowish overall while the lcd looks like the colors are more 'realistics'.. but i guess its just the impression i get from the videos.. if someone could clarify..

Thanks again,

Cheers!
[Adam General] LeviathanPT:
118€ of custom duties if i recall, but it depends on the model and also on the currencies when you pick it up, so it may vary.

Yes i do have the 3G version you mentioned, havent tried it yet for navigation.

Yeah it looks diferent than a normal LCD, if you like to watch videos and you want image quality go for the LCD version.
[Adam General] finndo:
I just received the PQi model (wifi only) and absolutely love it, I went outside yesterday and could not even tell the difference, it instantly (auto-brightness on) switched and I just kept doing what I was doing. yes the colors are a bit washed out (I do have the matte protector on it, which I do not think is a Matte protector, it looks like a normal screen protector that is designed to specifically cover all of the screen (including the bezel) with a cutout for the notch where the camera is.

(note for you on that one, if you are putting the protector on, I recommend starting lengthwise instead of doing it widthwise (peel the backing off on the long side instead of the short side), because I ended up putting it on crooked even though the beginning looked straight...)

The coloring does not bother me that much, and I only notice it when it is beside another device (specifically AMOLED/super AMOLED displays), I would not trade it for a regular LCD if you paid me $300 for the trade. there really is no visible difference from indoors to outside!
[Adam General] Hige:
Thanks for the replies, i think i'll go for the PQi anyway..

@LeviathanPT, just asked you about the 3G choice because I was a bit in doubt when filling the poll, and didn't really know if it will work in Portugal, as in ANACOM website they say the UMTS farming is the 900/1800MHz..
[Adam General] DOEBeats:
I didn't mind my LCD
[Adam General] ddaypunk06:
Nice review bud. I would post one of my own, but it seems that there are plenty.

Current Setup:

-VEGAn 5.1.1

-ADW Launcher EX

Pretty snappy and useful. Couple that with the free apps from Amazon's Daily Apps, and you have a pretty nice tablet that costs less than that of the competition. Screen is not as good as the Xoom or Transformer, but its good enough. Lets just say the screen is not bad, its above average.

Btw, that matte protector really dulls the quality of the screen. I would recommend an after market one. I am working on putting on my skinomi techskin for it possibly this weekend or the next. Erian_7 on the NIH and TR forums says its amazing after the bubbles clear out over the course of a few days.
[Adam General] vikashhero:
Me want.

I cant wait to try one of these out. This just seems to good to be true. Ergonomic, Powerful, Versatile, PRICE TAG.

[Desire HD General] thedan55:
Hi lads got a quick question.

All of a sudden for the last week or soy browser had just been dog slow, I installed dolphin and even that's really slow.

Any ideas as to what is causing this? I've cleared the history and the cache and cookies but no difference.
[Desire HD General] thedan55:
No ideas??
[Desire HD General] worldwidewanderer:
Maybe you just install i. e. Advanced Task and kill everything. I know it's not recommended, but it works to get it faster. ;) Hope it works
[HD2 General] erniepb:
Having installed android just recently on my hd2, I started to use my hardware buttons more often. Now, whenever I push the windows-flag-button on the far left (still the button but close to its left rim), then the home-button is pushed too. Is this a general flaw of the hardware buttons or is it just my hd2. I would love to see some response, in order to see whether it makes any sense to send it in or to just live with it.

Thanks in advance!!
[HD2 General] tictac0566:
After I changed to the "Photon" style and use, I started using the hardware buttons extensively - that was already last summer.

Did never have any issue like you describe. Still everything working perfect for me.
[HD2 General] laerador:
I have the same issue with my HD2 (also using an Android NAND). I believe, that it is a hardware-flaw, and not a ROM-Issue. I just made myself press more on the right of that button (closer to the middle of these two buttons (Flag and Back-button)) , and now it doesn't really bother me anymore.

I hope, I could help.

laerador

BTW: I own a O2 HD2 from Germany. (Might, that this flaw is connected to a specific model)
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
The hardware buttons begin failing on a lot of hd2s, this is a common problem since android makes you use hardware buttons more. There are several threads about it. Luckily, a dev from this forum created button savior for android, an app that creates soft buttons on the side of your screen that can pull out when you need them. Get Button Savior from the market... a needed app for the hd2 so you don't have to use your hardware buttons so much.
[HD2 General] dio62000:
Just in case you don't know: there's a software alternative for hardware buttons on Android, SW Key.

try not to use your nail to click on the key,, use the middle of your fingers to push slowly down.
[HD2 General] marsbar 1:
is there any work around after a button has failed
[HD2 General] Archer:
Yeah, you read the whole thread :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] datas0ft:
My HD2 is about year old. I bought it (months 4 ago) with broken digitizer. Replaced it itself. What i finded inside is interesting. Buttons bar have clued some small plastic dots (see on pic). As i understand they fits to keypad excrescent plastic dots (dont have pic). And one of these on buttons bar was gone. I ordered then new button bar and now no more problems with buttons. Before i had too problems when i pushed home button accidently popped up calling or menu (windows logo button pressed).

Hope this helped you find right direction to resolve your problem.
[HD2 General] marsbar 1:
Sorry, maybe the question was phrased incorrectly.

my home button has failed. in ASOP builds my phone boots into safemode.

in Sense builds it doesnt, but my battery ussage in both types of builds is above 50 ma

can I turn off the buttons to sort out the short in the rom.
[HD2 General] erniepb:
Thanks for your response!!

I have sent it in for repair and got a 100% cash refund.

Well, let's see what little gadget I can buy for the money ...
[Hero CDMA General] sirmx:
Direct from developer.htc.com, here is a standalone package (zip) that includes the drivers for our phone to allow adb and fastboot (fastboot only with eng-spl found in the dev forum).

"HTC Android USB Driver for Microsoft PC - 5.5 MB"

Using this, you won't need to install the HTC Sync software anymore if all you want is the included USB drivers.

This zip contains HTC USB drivers for XP,Vista,7 32bit, and Vista,7 64bit. Release date is 11/22/2010. There is no automatic installer to hold your hand. You need to know how to install/update drivers for this to work. It's pretty simple.

If you want it done automatically, you can still install the HTC Sync software, but cancel the installer after the USB drivers get installed.
[Hero CDMA General] FdxRider:
Link just takes you to Htc home page.:(

What's the point here?? Hummm wonder does this qualify as being lazy. Y not just grab the drivers, zip them up and post them. Just an idea.

looking in the net i find a news say skyfire v3.2 supported flash is now in the market

but i can´t find app, someone can help me plz???

Here you go

thanx for it!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sahilahuja:
Its a 2.0 version of skyfire..not 3.2..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mank69:
thanks :) im check now
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] HerrKuk:
Nope, its 3.2 just pulled this from androidmanifest.xml

<manifest package="com.skyfire.browser" versionCode="21543" installLocation="0" versionName="3.2.0">
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] farsight73:
Do we need to install flash player as plug-in? Or its build in already.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] HerrKuk:
I dont think flash works.

If i have understood things right: The browser uploads your flashfile to skyfire servers, there its converted to HTML5 and then back to your browser. So you actually looks at HTML5 stream instead of flash. Just as older versions of Skyfire.

But who really cares as long we can watch pr0n? :-)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Febby:
I might change my G2 for a mytouch4G... since the G2's radio is similar to the nexus one issue with T-Mobile... how is reception for this phone? Same flipping from H to 3G to G to E... or stable like back in my mytouch 3GS
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nohcho:
I gotta say that the reception is little better on mytouch 4g. I had g 2 before mt4g and it constantly switching between edge and having no reception.

I don't know whether I ad bad g2 or not.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bighulk666:
Reception on the MT4G compared to my Nexus One is horrible. The MT4G seems to drop from 3G to G quickly when I pick up the phone. I know reception isn't great when i'm at, but it seems very erratic.

thanks for that haha.. wow now i'm bit wondering on what I should do.. how good is the Mytouch4G compared to the G2...? if anyone has had one? also by the looks of it development seems better than the past mytouch 3gs..

The past week i have been messing around a lot with my phone.

First i had Artemis with android on sd. I thought id try a nand android, but it had a less responsive screen. Also the navigation solutions are not what i am used to with igo8.

The only nice thing about android is the use of the nice widgets like Gmail, Weather, SMS, News and so on. It also has a lot off apps but most of them are useless.

I am back to win mobile but this time i am trying the energy rom

I would love to see more widgets for our Winmobile phones, so that we have best of both worlds in one package.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
Have you tried cookie's home tab 2.0 yet? We already have working widgets for all those items you mentioned.. gmail, weather, sms, news and all kinds of others as well (clocks, music players, stop watches, calc's, etc..). I'd suggest searching and doing some reading first b4 posting. I look at it as we already have the best of both worlds since we can run all those other OS's with our devices. Lets see android run windows mobile and do it well.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 4stimpy:
A have been using cht for a long time now.

Energy has it baked into his rom.

Since i registered here i have been reading a lot and normally i don't ask for things.

I like to read an be a little on the background on this forum, that is why i don't have so many post counts. I was using Artemis since ver 16, almost everyday i visit this forum. I like it very much, only thing is that i can't find what i want using the search function. Often too many hits.

I think i spent about 17 hours this weekend on searching for widgets and stuff.

Sadly could not find it, that is why i posted this.

I would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
Hey man my bad for the way that came across. I wasn't bad mouthing or saying anything negative, its just that alot of people start new threads asking questions that could easily be found/answered with a simple search. Believe me, I know how frustrating it could be to find what your looking for using the search here in the forums but thats because of all these new threads being started when the question could be asked/answered in one of many threads on similar topic. Please don't take it as I'm complaining and I certainly don't won't to detour you from posting..i'm just trying to help keep things less cluttered around here. Now anytime anyone else searches for "widgets" they'll have another thread added to the list. See what I mean?

Damn thats a long ass time..17 hours and you came up empty handed?

Here are links to all the CHT Widgets i could find. (just searched and came up with these..)

1 rat_2665's CHT 2.0 Clock Widgets

2 ZaxXx's CHT2.0.0 Widgets

3 DJC & BobsBBQ "Touch of Glass" Sense 2.5/Windows MP Skin

4 RESIZABLE RSSReader

5 CHT2.0 WIDGET TypoClock

6 CHT widget B&L_Group Alarm Widget

7 Oxygene Analogue Clock

8 dSign Clock v1.3 (typoclock variant)

9 Colossus MOD of Poyensa Typoclock

10 The Ultimate Geek Clock

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 4stimpy:
I understand what you are trying to say.

Those are the ones i also have found.

There are lots of clock widgets and a few other things.

But the widgets i have mentioned earlier......

nice widgets like Gmail, Weather, SMS, News and so on

..... I still can't find them except for an weather widget(which only works with a few places in Holland, and another one is the same layout as standard) And i could use the rss widget for the news.

Id love to see less clocks and more like news, gmail and that sort of stuff.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tictac0566:
Maybe the choice of widgets is a bit smaller because the core functions of WinMo and Sense are quite strong already.

And once CHT is in action, you can make shortcuts/quicklinks to existing apps. Why bother to make a widget for something existing, it´s like re-inventing the wheel, imho.

As an example, touching the sms or mail notification, the respective app opens immediately. That´s perfect for me... :rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 4stimpy:
Your right it has nice features already built in but dont like the extra steps i have to make to see a list of all the mails and mark them as read.

In android i swipe to a side and i see all my mails in a list and and check the ones i would like to mark as read. I have a lot of mail traffic that is why i would love that.

The same with news, swipe the other way and have the news right on the screen.

I know that there are more ways to do the trick, but i like the way they do it in android.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
WOW dude..So than buy an android! Why complain that your windows mobile isn't more like android..I mean seriously man. I just listed close to 20 different widgets, when you said you spent 17 hrs searching to find nothing, and thats still not good enough. What did you think by starting this thread developers where going to line up here asking what you'd like? Develop them yourself if you don't like everyone else's hard work. You speak of sms and email with one swipe to the side..Those are 2 of the easiest things to set up with cht since they're default widgets.(don't have to install any additional cabs).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 4stimpy:
I thought asking would be free.

It would have been easy for you just to say that there is no such widget like i asked for.

End of discussion i'll start reading again and try not to post to much.
