[G2 and Desire Z General] allthrottle:
I do agree with everyone that the g2 runs smoother out if the box. Let me clear one thing up though.. plastic doesn't mean cheap, light doesn't mean poor quality and vise-versa.. heavy and metal doesn't equal high quality. Neither mine nor my wifes vibrants feel cheap, "flimsy", weak, or poorly constructed. They don't squeak, creak, crack, etc.. We've dropped them numerous times from 6+ feet into concrete and both only suffered minor scuffs. They're light and slim, which is nice for something I keep on my pocket all day. Cars are made from plastic, I'd say it's a sufficient material for a phone.

On the other hand, the g2 and mytouch 4g I owned for a few days did have slight creaks and squeaks; The slider on the g2 and physical buttons on the mytouch. The g2 did feel more "solid" though.

Just wanted to clear the air about what people have referred to as "cheap" feeling.

I have both a Vibrant and a G2, and I love them both but I can't put my Vibrant down. Vibrant is rooted and running a Nero custom rom and the thing screams. I get 1600 on quadrant and get 4mbps download speed consistently. I have a 32gb sd card and 16gb internal. All of my music and a dozen movies are on board with tons of room to spare. Games and video on the S-Amoled screen are gorgeous. My gps works and locks nearly instantaneously. I don't use a case so the phone is light and thin, great for the gym. I'm keeping my G2 because I know it will get future updates and hspa+ will become better soon. But the Vibrant is tops for gaming and media IMO.
[G2 and Desire Z General] davbran:
Vibrant is crap imo, stock quadrant sucks, linpack only scores 14 MFLOPS, while stock G2 scores in the 30s.

I had to underclock my G2 to 345 Mhz to get the same score as my vibrant, and I've RMA'd it to only get the same score. No more Samsung disappointment for this kid.
[G2 and Desire Z General] davbran:
So here's the deal, keep your vibrant til t-mobile brings out the pyramid, whatever they will end up calling it then. Wait til teamdouche has a rom working on it, and then by it. That is if you are a cm fan. Depending on the other specs I will likely make that my next phone unless a really nice, cm supported, nvidia tegra 2 or 3, phone gets announced. My G2 will tide me over til then. It's a beast the way it is now.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TJBunch1228:
Traded my Vibrant for an HD7 last night. Wanted to give WP7 a shot. Needless to say I posted the HD7 on Craigslist tonight. Android is a Bugatti and WP7 is a Tercel. Maybe in a couple years WP7 will compete but I just truly do not care for it. It feels like an old person phone. No way to customize really at all.

I was thinking about picking up another Vibrant because I loved it, but after seeing this thread I think I might give the G2 a shot. Everyone had awesome input even if they were against the G2.

This is what makes XDA absolutely invaluable. Thanks guys.
[G2 and Desire Z General] znanoDA:
I like the G2 alot has a nice weight to it
[G2 and Desire Z General] isaac970:
imho i go with vibrant, i have both phones and im going to sell the g2, im going to get my money ready so when the dual core phone drops ill have the cash for it. the g2 is ok, i mean it has 4g and a keyboard but..... idk its weight is just a flaw and the loose hinge. but everyone should stop complaining cause its better to have a phone that is up to date than to be using a razr or a old nokia bar phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TJBunch1228:
I won't disagree on any of your points, however if your intention is to pick up a dual core phone in a few months I would recommend staying with your G2 and selling the Vibrant. When the Galaxy S 4G drops on tmo and people see it's literally a Vibrant with a 4G antenna and a FFC, the value of the original Vibrant will drop like a rock. I actually intend to pick up a Vibrant for my wife when this drop happens because I loved my Vibrant.

Tonight I'm selling my HD7 for a G2 and I hope I don't have too many complaints. Gonna be way better than my last few days trying out WP7. Never gonna leave Android again.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jtadak:
G2 not only because I own one but my buddy has the vibrant and its definatly a step below. It does however have a decent amout of ram suprisingly but is definatly not as snappy. Plus the keyboard option is sweet! Too much to post why the G2 is better.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cmoney12051:
Im sure if it could be done, it would have.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Rikardn:
It should be possible but there is not enough interest. If we compare with WINE and VMWARE there is an interest because many business applications require Windows, it is not really the same here. If you find like 10-30 skilled programmers with great knowledge of ARM architecture it might be possible, remember that some people managed to emulate PPC on a X86 like 5 years ago so crazier things has happened in the past.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hotboyray:
well someone should do it asap.. there is some iphone apps i want that android does not have.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] LordManhattan:
Heh, i think it's easier to make the apps then a freakin' emulator. You can start with contacting the devs of the apps you would like to have, and see if they're planing to release them on Android.

Hey! First of all, I'm really a beginner, I just bought my phone like a week ago. I've installed Clockwork mod from Rom Manager, I have the latest version

Can you help?

Anyone can advise what is the effect of removing the internal battery which is soldered to the motherboard? Thinking of removing it to prevent any battery leakage issues. If the battery is only to maintain the clock, I would wish to remove it if it does not impair other functions.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] giany_rap:
go under the settings -> system -> power and see if there are two meters..if you have a "main battery" and a "backup battery" meter then i guess removing it it'll impair other functions. can't test because of my battery issue, but if helps, when i removed the motherboard battery, nothing changed..my phone is still ****ed up :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] myc:
so far there is only the primary battrey being on the power indicator. Unlike my older Dell Axim there is 2 types of battrey indicator
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] giany_rap:
my advice is to leave it there..i didn't heard anybody having battery leak issue :-s
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] myc:
I have removed the coin cell battery from the motherboard. Just cut the metal that is holding the battery to the motherboard. is a 3yo unit and the coin cell has green oxidization at the sides. Just use a small wire cutter. I can confirm that the coin cell is only for the clock. All other functions not affected.

I bought my girl a nexus one yesterday and rooted it put cm 6.1.1 on it and it's surprisingly really good and I'm thinking of trading my vibrant for a nexus one. Is this a good idea or what?

The things I like about the n1 is the smoothness of the phone such as going from app to app n the start up of apps and the fm radio is awesome. Theres more but im going to leave it at that.

Now my vibrant number one I love the devs who work on the vibrant they are amazing with what they come up with, I love the screen of course and the 16GB of internal storage and being able to play 720p movies such as blurays.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rodriguez92:
And the gps on the n1 Is amazing like 10x better than my vibrant
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
Could it be that it seems smoother because neither Froyo nor Eclair are optimized for the Hummingbird but they are for the Snapdragon? I'm reasonably certain that Gingerbread will be here for us soon enough. I don't know, but I wouldn't be willing to trade back down to the Nexus One, given that the Nexus S has also moved to the Hummingbird.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duboi97:
Don't do it this phone has so much more capabilities since they basically can port roms from other phones (ie. All the galaxy s models and maybe the nexus s) the nexus one will get outdated soon anyways my quadrant score could destroy any nexus one any day :P

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ice-Cool:
Hi everyone,

I can't post in the developers section cos I'm a new user so I hope you guys can point me in the right direction.

Okay to give you a brief summary:

My phone was rooted by using the latest Unrevoked 3.32

Then I did a NADROID Backup of my files.

Then I took S-Off With AlphaRev 1.8 Custom HBOOT.

Everything was successful and it said S-OFF.

Now when I boot up my phone normally all I get is the "Why So Serious?" image by unrevoked.

I restored my backup but still get the same image.

I'm guessing it's to do with the HBOOT version and my Radio version?

Please check attached images.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
You do have to change the splash if you want to, thats why the image is how it is because it has changed from the HTC one, to AlphaRev's. Your radio is so old, really old. Try and install a newer one (been tested) or the newest one (get the second radio). See if that does anything for you. Just let things load up, they can take a while to do.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ice-Cool:
Thanks for the reply.

The thing is, i don't mind the splash, it's kinda cool.

The problem is the fact it just hangs, just stays on the splash screen.

I'll try what you suggested, unless others have another suggestion?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
If you wanted S-Off badly, you could just download the correct RUU and then freshly install the stock ROM. It would wipe everything and you would need to run Unrevoked and AlphaRev again. But nontheless, you would have S-Off. Or you could download the stock rooted ROM and then S-Off from that.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ice-Cool:
Just an update.

The problem has been solved thanks to GoogleJelly's steps in pm.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tillus:
Why did you sort that out by pm? :confused:

Maybe there are other people experiencing the same problem and are interested in the solution too...

just sayin...

Today I tried the permroot from visionary, but when the phone rebooted it never makes it past the htc screen. I tried flashing PC10img.zip from hothands and tried the stock ROM as well, but the blue bar loads up and then goes right back the hboot screen.

Pretty much the same as the thread below.

temp root from visionary. clicked permroot and phone rebooted and never makes it past HTC screen. I tried flashing the Stock rom and hothands rom, but no dice.

stock. I ****ed up by not having CWM or Nandroid.

adb devices:

list of devices attached

HT09RR210692 offline

shell and remount don't work since device is offline

adb devices just says list of devices attached with nothing under it

shell and remount

error: device not found

This is the first time I messed up a phone. I rushed into this root thinking I knew more than I did. Quite the humbling experience to say the least. I definitely won't make that mistake again.

That being said, does anybody have any other advice for me or anything else I can try?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philippecr:
1) turn it off (take out and reinstall the battery)

2) Press "volume down" and power up. Fastboot menu should show up.

3) select Factory Reset

and wait to see if it boots.:)

try not to root using visionary. Use the gfree method to do it. Much safer in my opinion.

I used to search high and low for music player appz for the X10 Mini.

Besides the Spotify player/client for streamed music from that paysite (I have a premium account) I use the PowerAMP to play my own music (mp3s ripped from my CDs thats legal in Sweden as long as I just makes copies for myself) ,

PowerAMP is good and has a lot of bling-bling even for a pay app. Had some issues with the PowerAMP that it started to play tunes every now and then.

Like plugging in or out the 3,5 jack (at home) or connected the Samsung SBH650 bluetooth headset.

As the X10 Mini has a great multitasking capability that meant that PowerAMP played music when I tried to listening to music from Spotify.

Since the latest SE update the PowerAMP seems to stay shut when not actuallu tapping it's play button ;)

Does someone out there found players, that have become a favourite?

PS. Love to use the Spotify music streaming and Google Maps and GPS simultaneous when driving. As long as there are 3G cover maps, GPS-positions as well as the music will work without glitches from this little magic box, we call X10 Mini. Don't know about the Pro, never had one :)

but its a phone only app and doesnt support app2sd

and it does work on android 2.2 (U20i with 2.2 custom ROM)

in case you want to try it out:

if you search "flip mp3" on the marked then there should only b one app in the seach. a blue squar with a white horrisontal stip on it with the label "FLIP" on it.

its made by tom016

so, does any of you know of a player that would support creating playlist on-the-fly?

like, what i'm used to from my mp3 player (cowon d2): select directory, long-press, "add to playlist"

and then you have a dynamic playlist which will play a bunch of albums in the order you specified.

or i'm just stupid and didn't find out how to do it o_O

apart from this, i like MortPlayer very much, because it supports directories and not just id3 tags :)

Is there a free player that supports 'long-press to switch tracks' via headset? I know PowerAmp does this but the trial version is only 2 weeks.
