fugget about it

While I wonder the need to impress your iphone toting friend so badly, I'll say this-

Imo, the iphone4 is a great piece of machinery in terms of build quality, hardware, and fluid/capable os, but it's just not versatile enough on it's own...

I suggest turning on Wimax if you have it, then have him connect to your Evo with wifi tether through his iphone and download some ****, or watch youtube etc. While he's doing this, connect your laptop and do the same, or maybe fire up some COD on PS3 also tethered through your phone.

Then bang off a few phone calls at the same time with nothing skipping a beat in the background, or on the call. Or send a couple emails, or texts, or download some games from the market (while still remaining a hotspot).

If he gets tired of this fun too quickly, sync your itunes playlist over wifi with DoubleTwist (airsync). Then take control of your Evo with your PC using Droid VNC Server.

Now that you have his balls in a vice, and that "Flux Capacitor" vein is starting to bulge out of his forehead, ask him why he pays extra for features like Navigation, and to watch World Cup and TV shows etc. Top it all off by video chatting his girlfriend on Tango without Wifi... Wait, she won't be able to.

Then show him your bill.

If he doesn't bang his head against a wall, or jump off of a bridge yet, just show him this speedtest result below.

Then tell him his ma still owes you $50 :cool:

Welll to impress...it depends on the person and what they know.

I'm 18...all of my friends are all into Facebook so obviously they are always putting up dumb ass pictures. A lot of them have iPhones. I just tell them that my Evo has an 8 MP camera and a 1.3 MP camera and that alone blows them away. The camera isn't even that great but the fact that its 8 MP is enough to impress...I dont even have to unlock my phone for that.

Another way to impress, just say it has a 1GHz processor. The average iPhone user doesnt know their processor's speed and unless its the 3Gs or above, it isnt even all that fast...now true, the 3G seems smoother than the 1GHz processor in our phone and we all know why but they do not. So I usually talk about my processor and point out all the good things, not the bad, and that's another way to impress without unlocking the phone.

People have already mentioned flash....and the taking out the battery...those are great ways.

Put some music on your phone and go to their computer and hook up your phone and take the music off.

Have a 2GB sd card in your phone thats almost full and then fill it up in front of them. Then just say "dammit.. i wsh i had more space" then watch them talk about their phone and how it has more than 2GB. While they are talking about it, just swap Sd card's (put in the 8GB one) and say "problem fixed."

Another thing I've done...I would switch keyboards around on the fly. Now that by itself isnt impressive, but with Smartkeyboard Pro, the stock keyboard and Swype...I had Smartkeyboard Pro calibrated for texting with just my left hand, I had stock for my right hand and Swype for all around.

Just download ADW EX and mess with the transitions.

You have a 4.3 in screen man! Just turn the brightness up all the way. Blind them.

Show off the flashlight app. People think that app is amazing and thats because it is.

That's all I got right now.

[EVO 4G General] tomh1979:
even though your correct, it's a very crappy build of Froyo that only works half arse, so someone with a jailbroken iphone4 still can't functionally use android even as a daily driver, to many things are borked in it, i've studied on this so yeah believe me, still won't compare, and besides, Froyo is so last year, lol, we gots GB, can't touch this (in my best MC Hammer impression, lol).

All this to impress an iPhone user...

You know what my sibs did with their iPhones and one iPad? Play Scrabble. The ipad was the Scrabble board and each iPhone was the player's tile holder. The game knew the players' order after one round, so no skipping. THAT'S IMPRESSIVE.
[EVO 4G General] KINGOFNOOBS:
I love my EVO but there's really nothing about it that would impress an iPhone 4 user.
[EVO 4G General] Biggest Fro:
Open up the Market, and update some apps, then ask him if he ever updates his apps.

When he says he has to hook up to a computer or be on Wifi, set up wireless tether and let him connect to it, then while he's connected to your wireless tether, and you're updating your apps, enjoy a nice game of Angry Birds or use an Emulator and play Pokemon or something.

He will be in awe of your multitasking. :cool:

edit: or just do Biggest Fro's method too.

Terrorize him with MIUI too.

edit: or go to the Android market on your PC, make sure he sees your phone screen, click "install" on the PC, and let him watch as your phone then downloads and installs it, all without being connected at all to the PC.

Listen to xfull - Load MIUI on your phone, and another rom. He will look at your phone, see that it can look like the Iphone, except have more features (they aren't even done with it yet), and then switch roms. It will trip him out.

[EVO 4G General] Mitch Matrixx:
Vote for douchebag

You are a major Tool.

Every device has its flaws, just like your thinking. This thread is about the Evo's features, possibly even advantages compared to another device.

Too bad the Evo doesn't have a Tool alert that would block douche's like you from posting spontaneous acts of inferiority complex retardedness.
[EVO 4G General] JDM Civic EG8:
Show him the widgets,features and different Home-screens. I use to have an iPhone but after I seen the Evo and the HD2 i knew it was time to switch.
[EVO 4G General] cheekymonkee20:
That was my thought, too!
[EVO 4G General] nabbed:
Most of your points are laughable.

Really, I only see one decent point about the camera. Not that people use the camera over the phone as a primary purpose.

Let's break this down:

1) "show him how bland and lifeless the colors of your screen are"

I've seen both devices, and I prefer the Evo because of the larger screen size. The colors, in real life usage, are about the same. The resolution of the retina display is not that much more noticeable compared to an already excellent Evo.

Size matters here, and if you do not think so, you've never seen the EVO. The size difference of 3.5 vs. 4.3 inch is groundbreaking...

2) "show him how fast your battery drains (make sure you have your phone fully charged before talking to him)"'

This point just confirms that you are trolling. An Evo battery is quite capable driving the phone for 1-2 days of moderate usage. In other words, in terms of daily usage, both phones are good. But I also have 3 more 1500mah batteries, from my previous phones and newly bought. When the power really matters - during airplane trips, say, watching movies - I can replace my battery with a fully charged backup. The iphone cannot do that.

3) "show him how choppy and ugly android is in a lot of apps"

That is a poor poor argument. Android OS is far superior to iOS.

4) "show him your 8GB slow ass sd card compared to his 16GB"

That argument is simply ridiculous. Evo can change sd cards, iphone cannot.

5) "show him how you need to root your phone and void your warranty in order to flash some ROMS that offer mostly nothing over the stock slow choppy unrefined Sense"

Completely irrelevant. Even though this capability completely kills iphone.

6) Evo douchebags minus iphone douchebags = minus infinity.
[EVO 4G General] live2ride96:
Many good points there, but seriously, don't bring yourself down to his level. Don't feed the troll. That's what he wants.

Back on topic... In regard to impressing an iphone 4 user, good luck. Not because the Evo is lacking, but rather because most (not all, but most) iphone owners are set in their ways, and they're not going to admit that anything else could possibly do anything better than their precious Jesus phone. Sorry, but generally speaking, it's the truth.
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:

how can i upgrade my internal memory size? & here screenshots

You have CleanDroid 1.30, Did you even bother to read any of the roms first post???

Go and give it a read, It very clearly states size of space after flashing.

If you want more internal memory you will need to flash a rom that supports Ext3/4 so you can use a partition on your SD as extended data partition.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
it is the config files for your CWM partitions. You can find it in the CWM file you installed before installing the cwm build you have in the link given above.

Based on the link above, probably you have this on your flash.cfg

misc ya 1M

recovery ya|ro 5M

boot ya|boot|ro 5M

system ya 150M

cache ya 44M

userdata ya|asize|hr allsize

so total is 205mb and your EU HD2 has a 512mb so,

512mb

- 205mb

----------

so more or less you have 307mb.

So what is left on your nand, that is, 328mb is probably correct (since the one I posted is just rough estimate).

I have used the android, swype, samsung, gingerbread, droidx, bestkb, swiftkey and smart kb.

Swype is the best for one handed typing. DroidX is decent, but lacks many options. Swiftkey has the best predictive text for the lazy typer. IMO, smartkb is the best for 2 handed typing, plus its options/settings are usable and not in excess.

All the others are a waste of time.

just go into recovery, plug the phone, type adb shell in the command prompt(after u get it to work) and then the whole line to make your ext partition block size 4kb ---> mke2fs -m0 -b4096 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
