[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
Well, I have seen enough difference to almost go with TM, although can't understand why I get E sometimes in an area that is solid H for TM and CBW. Never an E with CBW. But, TM gets me 3g where CBW sometimes had nothing.

If I get the free myTouch4g this weekend with no activation fee and 200mb data plan, will change to TM. Otherwise will probably stay with CBW.

One question: Is the phones phone number tied to the simm card. They put a TM simm card in my N1 and I am using their number till I decide to change permanetly. If I take their simm out and put my CBW simm back in, am I back to the way I was. All CBW--just re-register on the Network?

Just asking so they don't have to mess with my phone if I return the two free ones they gave me. Less time in the store. They gave two LG dLites for wife and son. Son wants the myTouch4g.

Thanks,

Ken
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricky9237:
As far as I know, the answer to your question is yes. Only SIM card carries your number. You can put your SIM card into any unlock GSM phones. Most of the times, it should work right away but I know some of the AT&T SIM cards cannot be used in other GSM phones. Don't know why. Hope this help.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
Thanks Ricky,

I called TMO CS and they said same thing. Also, to get my free MT4g I need the unl data plan on the MT which my son will have. So, to skirt it they said set it up that way in store, leaving the 200mb on the N1. Then after leaving switch sims and I have unl data back on my N1 and 200mb data on son's MT. Then port my CBW #'s to the TMO phones I want them to go to.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricky9237:
You are welcome Ken.

I am in Cincinnati area and thinking about switching TMobile to CBW. But now, I am trying TMobile's 200Mb data plan. It works well with my N1. I will see whehter I need more data usage or not before switching to CBW or upgrade to TMobile unlimited data plan.

Ricky
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
If you don't leave Cincy, no issues--they are good company--customer service not up to TMO so far.

Only issue for me now is will putting the MT4g sim in my N1 and N1 sim in MT4g work. These are TMO sims I am using on trial.

Research says they will. Fingers crossed :)

Hello,

So everytime I install Nightlies the Android Market restore all my apps (Or most of them)

I personally would rather use TB. And Most of the time the Market re-installs apps i deleted via the market! It's getting really annoying!

Is there any way of stopping it from DL'in or at least the Apps i dont want?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIGWORM:
Every time you're at the startup wizard, uncheck the "Backup User Data" or whatever it's called, and it won't download your apps when you sign into your Google account.

Perfect! Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Better idea: You don't have to wipe data between flashing nightlies. Only your cache and dalvik-cache need to be wiped.

Hi,

Does anyone have some links to video on general usage of the phone? Browsing, zoom, texting etc? All I find on youtube are those unboxing and commercials that just shows how fast it boots :)

[General Topics] buggs1a:
I'm curious. Why is it phones are bigger with same crummy resolution as smaller? Fascinate has 800x480. Same as smaller ones. Thunderbolt even bigger but same resolution. I don't get it.

After seeing iPhone 4 nothing else comes close to as good looking screen quality I have seen. So it's hard for me to want anything else.

I'd prefer bigger screen but awesome screen. Bionic comes close but even still isn't as good. Bigger screen yet still worse res then iPhone. Thunderbolt even worse res.

I want a new phone but screen quality is big for me. I won't get iPhone for several reasons. Not sure what to get.

I got the fascinate last week. Screen looked ok but still didn't seem that great. Didn't like the bottom buttons only lit up *after* you touch them. That ticked me off. Battery sucked royally. Only a few hrs. Had to charge it twice within the first 36 hrs. Took phone back next day after I bought it.

I'm not sure what to do.
[General Topics] buggs1a:
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
[General Topics] kurolife:
For saying that the nothing comes close to the iphone 4 screen is quite a bold claim... sure it has the highest ppi but a screen is not only ppi and there are android phones that has about almost the same ppi as the iphone 4 way before it comes out.

The thing is about resolution is to have a unified standard no matter what the size screen because it is just rescalling, but different resolutions requires gpu settings and software ones...too complicated

Android has 480p since the Iphones 3GS era and almost one year before the iphone 4 was out.and now the next step is 540p which will be standard this year so don't worry you get a qHD resolution + the awsome screen technologies that the iphone doesn't have and in differente sizes.
[General Topics] MacaronyMax:
Meizu M9 has (I think) the same screen as an iPhone 4 so great quality and Android.. Although you'd have to ship one over from China :p
[General Topics] Lord_Buckington:
This should start changing with the next wave of phones. Atrix has 960x540, and the rumours say that the new HTC phones will have something similar. What remains to be seen is if Samsung can make some higher resolution SAMOLEDs. It does seem frustrating that screen sizes are getting larger but the resolutions are staying stuck on 800x480
[General Topics] souljaboy:
MOD EDIT: Uncalled for. This community welcomes all and appreciates the fact that everyone has different tastes and choices.
[General Topics] buggs1a:
The bionic has. 960x540 res I think. The screen on the thunderbolt is the same 800x480. I wish people would be able to see both right now. I wonder if the thunderbolt screen will look much better then fascinate and incredible.

I like thunderbolt being wider then bionic and how extremely fast it boots in a video i saw. Wish it was out already but just thinking the thunderbolt screen may not be all that. Hmm.
[General Topics] kurolife:
The thunderbolt screen if i m not wrong is the same as the DHD which is a SLCD, and for me it is one of the best screens out there, great and realistic colors, huge brightness and one of the most responsives screens, HTC annouced that the thunderbolt/inspire 4g/DHD whatever you want to call it, are the last High end smartphones that will have 480p as they ll be moving to qHD aka 540p, but that doesn't mean 480p is dead .
[General Topics] lizard1:
There are apps on the android market to change screen resolution, if you have an andriod phone. Try Root Tools from JRummy16. There are others, do a search, this one was just fresh in my mind.
[General Topics] kurolife:
Yes i used that when i had my HD2 + Android , but for now i m not missing with my DHD
[General Topics] buggs1a:
It changes resolution? How? Does it make things look better by going to a higher res?
[General Topics] LordManhattan:
No. It changes the density. You can't add more pixels, but you can change the density.

Sent from the Desire HD2

[General Topics] buggs1a:
I don't get it. Lol.

I'm going to look at getting the thunderbolt. I can take it back if I don't like it.

I just hope the screen it awesome for brightness and great web text. I hope swype goes good and stuff.
[General Topics] kurolife:
what you change is the dpi the HD2 has like 216 ppi, but you can change it to 180ppi for exemple well it doesn't really change the densitie of your screen but how software shows on your screen

I think... so if i m wrong feel free to correct me
[General Topics] lizard1:
The net result will be like changing the resolution on your PC. Everything will appear smaller and you will have more stuff that will fit on your screen.
[General Topics] FLAC Vest:
Meh, I played with an iPhone 4 today for a few seconds and I like it, I actually thought about getting a white one when it comes out, but the 3.5 inch screen is kinda putting me off.

The Captivate has a 4 inch screen and thats the perfect size for me, at least the smallest.

Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon

Wait for the iPhone 5. It better have a larger screen! Give me some 4" luv!

On topic please.
[General Topics] Step666:
This is the screen I want on my next phone.

I worked out ages ago that with the same pixel density as the iPhone4, you could get a 720p panel down to 4.5", finally a hardware manufacturer has realised this too!
[General Topics] buggs1a:
Agreed! I'd love it too for sure.
[General Topics] mthe0ry:
As much as the iphone 4 display is nice to look at, I do think it is primarily novelty that makes it so glamorous, and it really doesn't do much for me after a few days of use. I personally would rather have more screen real estate than higher DPI. Of course, depending on the application.

Really to answer your original question, the design decision with screens is not so much dpi as it is physical size. Some people love the 4.3 inch screens, others find them unwieldy. Making a phone is a little bit like trying to make a pair of one-size-fits-all shoes. So again, the design decision really centers around the physical size of the screen not the resolution.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kylester6:
Ok so I just rooted my droid eris using Universal 1 Click Eris Root (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=742228). I then proceeded to install ROM manager and downloaded KAOS Froyo V39 Rom. I followed the instructions to flash the ROM on ROM manager but it didn't work. So instead I tried to boot the ROM directly from the bootloder screen (I rebooted the phone while holding volume up and selected to update from zip). It apparently flashed it fine but when restarting the phone it won't get past the bootloader screen. It just keeps looping it. I tried to install another ROM also but it won't work. So now I can't even get on my phone. Can anyone help me? Thankyou so much in advanced.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chevelle1768:
Did you wipe before you flashed the rom?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kylester6:
Believe it or not I was stupid enough to not wipe it first. It fixed most of the problems but some of the apps on "well tested" ROMs still have problems. I can't get the camera to work on Kaos Froyo for some reason. Should I just try another reflash?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
You just need to be more diligent in your reading. The camera has never worked on KGB (through V8 anyway; cross your fingers and maybe it will work with V9).

Please be specific. "some of the apps on well tested ROMs" means absolutely nothing at all to the people here that are able to help you. In the same vein, "it didn't work" also conveys almost no information either - all it means is "it could have failed with any of 10,000 different symptoms".

[Nexus S General] Android Touch:
Just wondering what specs you guys want to see on the next Pure Google phone.

Manufacturer: Manufactured by HTC/Motorola

Display: 4.0 qHD display

Processor: Dual-Core/Quad-Core processor

Camera: 8 MP camera with Xenon flash

Flat back and front (no bulging camera coming from the back)

1 GB RAM

16/32 GB ROM

SD CARD SLOT

Network: T-Mobile 4G
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
this topic would have been better suited if you posted it at Google's own forums for Nexus.

But just for fun:

any manufacturer

I'd go for anything that offers SAMOLED or SAMOLED Plus

4" or 4.3" screen

Dual Core 1.2 Ghz CPU

3600 mAh battery

paper thin, no thicker than credit card

FM/AM radio reception

WiFi ABGNX

WiMax

4G/3G/EDGE + AWS

Quad Band

Satellite World Phone

2 GB DDR4 RAM

64 GB internal storage

external microSDHC +micro SDXC support

12 mpix camera

Xenon flash

LED

1080p HDMI out

all codec support

1080p playback

dual micro USB

TV reception

Bluetooth 3.0

NFC

Lazer guided camera & video recorder

Red eye reduction
[Nexus S General] wargy:
hehe totally agree... that would sum it up...

BUT... wake me up when September ends! :)
[Nexus S General] gogol:
- integrated mind reading processor (the phone will understand you)

- integrated offline version of speech to text

- perfect natural language processing

Don't forget with that :)
[Nexus S General] Androyed:
Manufacturer: Samsung

Display: 4 inch, calibrated Super AMOLED+

Processor: 1.2 Ghz Dual-Core

Camera: Doesnt matter, I think the Nexus S's camera is good enough

Round corners, curves. Contour display.

1 GB RAM

16/32 GB ROM

SD CARD SLOT

4G

Build material: Plastic, but a little more grip at the back. Black.

The reason I am going for Samsung again, is because I like their hardware. As you can see the device I want looks like an upgraded Nexus S. I think the design of the Nexus S is fantastic, but a little more grip would do it for the back. Also, Super AMOLED+ got rid of many of the disadvantages Super AMOLED had, like PenTile. Only thing that bothers me is that the colors are a little bit too oversaturated. That is why I like LCD better, for now.

But it would be awesome if there was a way to calibrate the colors, so that you can choose normal (like Motorola Droid), oversaturated (like Galaxy S) or custom. That, with the advantages of LED, and no stupid PenTile, would be an awesome display!
[Nexus S General] QuantumRand:
Realistically, the next Nexus would probably be something like this:

Manufacturer: Motorola or HTC

Display: 4-4.3" 960x640 to 1280x720 resolution (either sLCD or sAMOLED)

CPU: OMAP4 or Tegra 2 for Motorola, QSD8672 for HTC (all dual core)

GPU: SGX540 for OMAP4, Adreno 220 for HTC

RAM: 1GB LPDDR-266

Storage: 16/32GB plus microSD

Camera: 8MP with flash

Misc: Dual mic, FFC, 4G, NFC, Wireless b/g/n, 1600mAh battery, ~9mm thick

What would I like to see (while still within the realm of reality)?

Manufacturer: HTC

Display: 4-inch 1280x720 (any sort of OLED, Sony is working on some nice displays)

CPU: Qualcomm MSM8960 (1.5GHz dual core)

GPU: Adreno 300 (200m+ tri/s)

RAM: 1GB LPDDR-400

Storage: 16GB (to keep costs down) plus mircoSD

Camera: 12MP microlense zooming with dual LED flash

Misc: Dual mic, FFC, 4G, NFC, Wireless b/g/n, 1800mAh battery, ~9mm thick

guys, what about a nexus from nokia?

now for me that would be a dream come true. the best combo of hardweare and softweare. it could be a great hit. i would love for something like this ro become a reality.

anybody agree with me on that one, or am i just a lone dreamer?...
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
on the other topic it was already said to be a joke only when he mentioned

but Nokia is indeed looking to partner up with other OS markers

but there are no solid confirmation if they are going one way or another

they basically opened the doors and are inviting prospective OS partners for their phones

don't be surprised to see a Nokia running Apple's iOS

but chances seems to be Nokia seems to be favoring Microsoft

however Android has the market dominance in the long run, it'll not be smart for Nokia to not choose Android and partner with Google

if they do, we'll most likely see "Nexus N" :D
[Nexus S General] Android Touch:
I just hope the Nexus 2 will be made by a company with better outer casing
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
I guess so but there really is nothing bad with the shell of the NS. It only feels cheap because its glossy plastic. I've dropped my phone quite a few times and its never even chipped. I have no scratches on the screen or the back. I'm quite happy with the SNS and my only hope for the next Nexus is just that it be better than anything else on the market :D

Ok heres what I would like to know guys. I am running CMY's stock desire CWR Rom. I want to change the kernel or update but I am not sure how to do so with a CWR build? The other part is when I do get a build upadte how to go about saving info, settings and flashing the new rom in CWR? Any help would be appreciated and I have searched but can't really find specifics to much about CWR?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ClydeB1:
To flash an update such as a kernel, save the zip file to your sd card. Then in magldr menu go to 8: AD Recovery (assuming you are running magldr 1.13 and that you have flashed a cwm 1.3 partition) - select install zip from sd card - choose zip from sd card, then navigate to the folder where the zip is stored, select the update and then select Yes to flash it.

If you want to save the rom and all apps and data, from the Recovery menu select backup and restore and then select backup.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] akapaul26:
Ok as far as the kernel that is exactly what I am doing. I do have magldr 1.13 and the 400MB partition not sure the version but the most updated CWR. Anyway it keeps giving me an error after I choose update zip and choose file. Cant remember what the error is but it won't open the zip file.
