That was his guess lol. They Arent telling any stores what it is.
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
You guys are wrong. Sprint is going to announce the first 4G (WIMAX) iPhone.

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
[EVO 4G General] Beejis:
I hope not
[EVO 4G General] housry23:
I have read a lot of threads about what is Sprint going to announce & every single one of them has people saying it's going to be the iphone or a 4G Iphone. Use Google & find how much $ Verizon has & will shell out to get the Iphone. Yes they will make much more in three long run, but I just don't see Sprint spending billions of dollars just to get the Iphone which would not even be an industry first. Don't u think if Apple was going to make a 4G iphone they soul have implemented lte in their Verizon version?

Swyped from CM7 using XDA App
[EVO 4G General] Mitch Matrixx:
Not to mention, 2 mins on google search shows that cdma/gsm *possibly LTE chipset will not appear in iPhone until iPhone 5 debut later this year.

*** Wow, I've been reading these threads so long, I'm becoming an armchair speculator too!
[EVO 4G General] SnoopDawg:
+1 on the iPhone 4g. Sprint big money is going to their network.

Sprint will have both LTE and Wimax, Wimax isn't a wasted investment. They can do both.
[EVO 4G General] dills2214:
Sprint squashed the rumor on the iphone coming to their network via twitter weeks ago. How do people still think this is the big announcement?
[EVO 4G General] Apex i ITR:
I believe Verizon is paying for exclusivity for them and AT&T only to have it for the next few years.

Hopefully its about an update for current Android capable phones to get Gingerbread finally.
[EVO 4G General] 12MaNy:
With Sprint, I guarantee it won't be a "big announcement". Mediocre announcement at best...
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
hmm

an iphone 4 with wimax vs a 3d crap...

Wonder which one is better.
[EVO 4G General] liverstealerJobs:
Which is better? Anything with Android is better. Why put down 3d phone, especially when you haven't seen it. And don't compare it with TVs, it might be a different experience. I am very interested. Much more interesting then a ho-hum friggin iPhone fer chissakes. Boy, why lower you bar for tech. It should be something new and potentially cool. Just my opinion.

Sent from my Evo
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
I had a conversation with Sprint and although they did not say what the announcement was the rep did say its an industry first. The iPhone isn't an industry first although a 4G iPhone may be. If it was something to do with the iPhone Apple would probably announce it and not Sprint. Apple like to run their own rodeos. A 3D phone would be a first and if its anything like the Nintendo DS 3D it would be kind of cool but I don't know what platform they would run it on. Windows phone and Android aren't designed for this type of thing.
[EVO 4G General] doh_tee:
The iPhone 4 is a soon-to-be obsolete piece of s*** that only Apple fanboys still buy.

3d phone = 1 step forward.

iPhone 4 = 2 steps back.

'Nuff said, methinks.
[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
3d phone isn't industry first less you say "industry" is considered only the US, since they have 3d phone overseas last i checked.
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
So I guess they are not going to be announcing 3D phones then.
[EVO 4G General] doh_tee:
I doubt they count overseas. If they count Japan we'd never have a damn thing first man.

I think a new HTC phone is lined up... the best of the batch and 3d. but I think the announcement is also 4g related.
[EVO 4G General] athlet1c:
I think it has something to do woth tablets' 2011 is the year of the tablet
[EVO 4G General] SnoopDawg:
I don't believe it has anything to do with tablets, I will post in this thread and admit that I was wrong.

They will have both the playbook(those of you that have used QNX know what a beast iti is) and they will have a HP tablet. They will release at least 4 tablets.

I posted in another thread Sprint will not spend 5 billion dollars as VZW did when they are spending 3 billion on tower consolidation. The plan for tower consolidation(CDMA IDen Wimax and possibly LTE since they have a test market in AZ)

Wimax is popular in Europe, that is why they announced this week wimax roaming.

Even if the event is a let down, I think they are making progress.

The EVO did better for Sprints rep than the Palm, Palm had many mistakes(read on ARS Technica on how they were late with pdk, etc.)
[EVO 4G General] Tower1972:
I really dont hope its a new phone. Dont get me wrong, I love Sprints pricing and so on (been with them a LONG time, since the days of Primeco/Sprint being the 2 MAJOR carriers). I only left once for AT&T to join the iPhone hype), but I really dont think the network can handle more. Read all the posts about people losing d/l speeds etc or speeds subpar with what 3G is supposed to be. Hopefully they will announce something along the lines of tower upgrades side by side IF they announce another new phone/tablet.
[EVO 4G General] a1platnum:
Even without letting us know ur post has swyped written all over it

Swyped from my HTC Supersonic: EVO 4G
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
How is android better? also android is an OS, iphone is hardware. If i wanted to, i could install android on my iphone as well.

Really? so iphone 4 is obsolete, yet our evos that are sporting years old gpu/cpu is not? And i bet that 3d phone will have the same specs as the evo. Not only that, but since the screen is 3d, you probably won't be able to turn it off, ever. Have fun trying to dial numbers and write text messages.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
You crack me up, dont have a clue about what you are talking about but of course it's garbage since apple didn't make it.

Why would you not be able to turn off 3d? How is it bad for your eyes? Or at least any worse than staring at a regular screen/tv/monitor. Is the reason why you have two eyes so that you can better see 2D pictures or what? I thought we had both of them for a reason.

Google Parallax Barriers and get a clue would you
[EVO 4G General] liverstealerJobs:
xhaux, forgettabout that guy. With all the cool stuff that is coming out and the dude is crying for a friggin iPhone. And he wants to brag about shoe-horning android on it. Jeez.
[EVO 4G General] Fadakar:
The biggest **** you would be "We're adopting LTE! And we'll unlock any phone you bring us that'll work on the network!"

There goes Verizon's business. lol
[EVO 4G General] TorxT3D:
3d phone will be an industry first.

it'll be the first 3d phone to be released for the usa market and consumption.

thats how they would consider it being an industry first.. NOT because we saw it working at ces, NOT because its been manufactured and prepped already, NOT because the asians can get their hands on one and use it on their networks...

industry first pertains to the usa. last time i checked theres no 3d phone out.
[EVO 4G General] AyoJake:
not true a few weeks ago what company announced the verizon iphone? i'll give ya a hint it wasnt apple.
[EVO 4G General] DaWeav:
With all the great tech bloggers out there, and the fact that nothing (even a rumor) has leaked thus far, it can't be that big a deal.

It's funny that I haven't seen any speculation yet on the old rumor about a Sprint/T-Mobile merger. After all, it would be an 'industry first' to have a CDMA/GSM all-in-one handset which would work whether it was connected to CDMA or GSM on one phone number.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
Add to the LTE, that I'm almost positive Sprint will have to adopt, and you have one monster phone company. They already own a ton of bandwidth after getting nextel & clear.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
They didn't announce a new product. It's just another carrier adopting the same iPhone they announced over half a year ago. No need to hold a press event for that.

PS: I don't think it's iPhone related, just saying.
[EVO 4G General] krazyflipj:
Evo 3D? I hope not!!
[EVO 4G General] Pierceye:
I hope it's not 3-D. Technology is still a ways off of making that more than just an exercise in frustration. When they are stuffing two or three gigs of RAM into these things, I think 3-D might be worthwhile. Not yet though. A flexible display would be pretty sweet though!
[EVO 4G General] BrianDigital:
.............lol cause if it were 3d it would not work at that flame was bad
[EVO 4G General] typeadam:
Verizon's iPhone deal is non-exclusive. That was something that was speculated on MONTHS BEFORE Verizon announced the release.

Many internet speculations = author's wishful thinking.
[Milestone XT720 General] R-D:
Edit, 02/10/2011:

Please keep in mind this post was based on the original release, some things have been fixed/changed since then. See post 1 in the dev thread for full update details.

Original Post:

My wife and I both have XT720, I left her's with stock 2.1, mine I just upgraded to Dexter's 2.2.1 (1.1a release) so I was able to compare the two side-by-side.

I wanted to list some of the differences for people, almost all of these are trivial items but just so you know what you may or may not see:

Menu options missing in Settings are:

Some of these may have been depreciated with 2.2 and may be why they are gone. Others not so sure, but all of very low priority in my opinion (except A-GPS and Compass).

Again as I said, almost all of these observations are inconsequential - I just wanted to list them in one place for peoples comparison.

Oh, and Google Goggles works in 2.2, it never worked in 2.1 (always scanned as a blank green sceen).

Thanks Dexter for all your hard work in getting this far so quickly!

edit: Home screen and Quadrant score:
[Milestone XT720 General] ronnbon:
I reposted your post at the other thread. :)
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
Wow!, thank you for such a detailed review of the outstanding issues, functionality and missing features between the versions

now people can think ahead if they are willing to lose some of those functionality or not before upgrading
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
Reading this i think some understanding of functionality is left to consider?

*Compass

If you rotate the phone, should compass not STILL point the same direction? i think north is arrow points? i tested with GPS test and Compass app, and direction after calibration seems fine. (using the 8 rotation solution to solve calibration)

*Proximity sensor seems to have a long range estimation (tested with Z-devicetester) i made some changes and now it reflect 0cm -> 6cm , in 1.1a it seems to say 0 -> 217cm

*haptic feedback depends on devices, Milestone might just have different device, so they lowered it to make it less hard. cannot be easily fixed unless framework changes.

*Google account in general can report "no network connectivity" as it always try mobiledata before regular wifi, its comon problem on all phones, it does happens not only with maps or gmail/market.. (i see this on Galaxy S as well)

* No Phone or Messaging buttons next to app drawer on home screen.

Must be an observation :-) as its not part of Google Stock , but is a way of design from vendors, motorola do it on some phones now..

LauncherPRO is an excellent way of getting custom buttons back. Stock launcher is always boring.

-----------------------

update to your old information versus new information.:

Wireless & Network Setings

- Control background data moved to Sync options

Location & Security Settings

- My Location still there but more defailed network+gps sat)

- Use assisted GPS always enabled on motorola phones

- Calibrate Compass (no need, sensor calibration using moving in 8 circle

Text to Speech now called Voice input&Output
[Milestone XT720 General] R-D:
Depends on the app how the compass rotation is displayed. What I am trying to say is that it does not point how it should. For example, when using Google Sky Map, I hold up the phone and it is always looking South no matter which way I am pointing.

For how much it gets used its not a big deal, just my observation. And thanks for the info on some of the menu options and where they moved.

For "Control Background Data" - I think this is a different option than the "Background Data" in sync as the option under Sync was there before too. The description in 2.1 for "Control Background Data" is "Control background data to extend battery based on network". The option under Sync of "Background data" says "Applications can sync, send, and receive data at any time". I have no idea what the functional difference is, maybe they both do something similar anyways.

Good to know on A-GPS being always on, was not aware of this.

And for Prox sensor, it started working after another reboot, not sure why. It works at the same distance (tested with side-by-side phones) as previously.

So aside from weird compass behavior here, everything seems to be working great now. :)
[Milestone XT720 General] R-D:
One more thing I just noticed with volume control, the explanation may not make sense but functionally when you are using the app it will be clearer.

In 2.1 when in landscape orientation (speaker on left, buttons on right), the volume Up and volume Down are reversed as they then correspond with the display on the screen.

ie. Pressing volume up button would actually turn the volume down, and down button would turn volume up as it was on the right, and that is how the volue bar is displayed on the screen.

In 2.2, volume up button remains as volume up in landscape mode, so when you rpess it and expect the volume slider display to move let (down) it actually goes the other way.

You can see this in Vevo or Angry Birds for example, expect to push left for volume down but it goes volume up. To me it makes sense for it to reverse the volume control buttons when in landscape orientation.
[Milestone XT720 General] Knoedelkopf:
My problems:

1. if i enable auto-proximity sensor, and turn my phone 90° right side (so to east), the screen turns also 90°. so far, so good. but it stays like this the whole time, even if I turn my phone back 90° or 180° or so. sometimes it works normally, but not always does the screen follow the turns.

2. Languages are for example in the camera & task manager in English. But we already know that.

3. Games that are used with apps2sd are often laggy.

4. The button next to camera button does not work, for example when I open the camera and push that button next to camera button, the camera should change to gallery or to camcorder. But it doesn't.

5. For example playing games and I want to change the volume and press "up" at the volume button, the sound gets less loud and if I press "down" at volume button", the sound gets louder.

6. Using the web browser, the pages do not adapt to the screen like in 2.1.
[Milestone XT720 General] warrenkb:
I think there are some compromises we must make in order to have 2.2 on the xt720. The one issue that I am still having that I do not feel i should compromise on is the browser.

The stock browser is killed, not force closed, but killed while in use very often. I do not know what is causing the issue but I saw that users on the ROM thread are having the same problem.
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
i will of course follow up on this issue and the music scanning problem..

which for now is "major".. but ill report back on it asap when i got a solution.

and keep the update minimal so ppl do not need to make full flashes or wipe's :-)

strange is that i played with a few flash sites with stock browser, and it did not crash then? can it be flash somehow crashing it or not being there?
[Milestone XT720 General] texascowboy:
nice comparison!
[Milestone XT720 General] ktylife:
Thanks for the useful review
[Milestone XT720 General] spiderx_mm:
you should do a 1.2 review by now. :D so far, 1.2 is a lot better than 1.1+
[Milestone XT720 General] ktylife:
Agreed, I also have it on my Starhub XT720, and thanks to it I am keeping the phone !
[Milestone XT720 General] chaud:
Is chinese language supported in this rom?If not in the future?
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
i know its there, so have a try and decide yourself, but for me , being danish, its looks different :-)
[Milestone XT720 General] trajano:
Rotation seems to work in both directions rather than just one. I was wondering if there is a way to limit it to just one side again?
[Milestone XT720 General] Dexter_nlb:
:-) i doubt it will be better.. most ppl prefer 360 rotation, but maybe disabling rotation will help?
[Milestone XT720 General] R-D:
There are Widgets to disable or to manually rotate your screen, you may want to try one of those ... I personally like the 270 degrees of rotation. Just wish the volume rocker would auto switch like in 2.1
[Milestone XT720 General] trajano:
Yes I know about those, but I was wondering how we can have it so it is just 90 degrees. No biggie, but is is still a difference between 2.1 and 2.2 that you may want to add to the list.
[Milestone XT720 General] trajano:
SD Card feedback

I am also unable to locate where to disable the SD Card notifications

what rom mate ?

i'm sing CM7 and can do that,,,

because in my rom have that setting :)

sory for my english
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] mahmoud1594:
i use mdj`s cyanogenmod 7 (v2.6) a2sd
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] TheATHEiST:
Some apps/games simply wont run directly from SD unless its on a data partition.

Use Data2SD instead of App2SD. The difference is that App2SD moves the phones data to SD card in normal way but Data2SD actually stores the phones data partition on a partition on SD instead so internal memory is extended to phone. (SD-EXT).

Get a rom that is tagged with either (data2sd, ext4, ext3, d2sd, etc).
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] mahmoud1594:
hay TheATHEiST thank u but ur avatar ???? my name is mahmoud and iam`t a terrorist :D;)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Spigaw:
A2SD+

We know you're not a terrorist. Just let it go.

For your problem, try MDJ's Cyanogen ROM; it has A2SD+, which moves apps to an ext3 partition on the SD card, much much stable than the simple A2SD.

:p
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] mahmoud1594:
ok can u post alink or somthing like that
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] geek_seeds:
try this mate ;)

MDJ CM7
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Spigaw:
Yup, it's the best ROM out there with Cyanogen! Got it on my HD2, smooth and clean!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] fadee.:
im using MDJ CM7 A2SD+ i've the same problem can't move the apps to sd
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] goldsand:
the build have a2sd?!

is in your memory ext2/3/4
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] karakemal:
i have the some rom with some problem. i have ext3 partition for data storage.

i can run angry birds until i move to phone.

is there anyone else have the same problem? and a solution?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] goob1284:
So I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, clearing defaults and cache. Nothing works. Even reboots or Rom changes don't! Its making me mad. LP will not hold my settings whenever I reboot it to make the changes because it always forecloses. Any suggestions?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] thatoneguy99:
That's because it sucks. Lol. I personally use ADW Ex and it has all the things LP does without all the bugs. Try it and you'll see what I mean.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] goob1284:
Oh I have used ads, but I like how the dock bar slides so there are more apps down there. I really don't like having apps on the screen, to me it looks messy. Plus you can have custom icons. But if worse comes to worse, I have it in titanium backup
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Anastayja:
As far as your settings not sticking you can go into the system and delete the dbdata/databases/com.fede.launcher folder. I did this and it allowed my settings to stick. Make a backup first in case something goes wrong. Hopefully this helps.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] goob1284:
Well deleting it seemed to help, but now all it does is forclose. Never had a problem like this before
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Anastayja:
I'm not sure about your fc's. Happened to me once with adw. I just flashed back to stock and a master clear with odin and started over. Not the answer you want to hear I'm sure, but it was what worked for me.

I would like this photo edited, that I have attached. Id like the subject to be more in the center, say on the main home screen...as it stands now, a lot of the subject is hidden by the sense launcher and I would need my main screen to be the far left screen to enjoy this wallpaper.

If anyone is able to work some artistic magic to reveal more of the subject on the main(center) home screen and able to reveal more of the art that is hidden under the sense launcher and hidden off of the left side of the screen...it would be greatly appreciated. my experience w/photoshop is limited to image size changes which doesnt really help my cause.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B1nny:
Hi guys,

I have a pretty simple question, why can't we get the camera on 2.2 Sense UI to work? I mean.. we got gingerbread with camera working, so why not Sense UI? And if we port it from the legend, which has a 2.2 Sense UI rom, would the camera work?

Or is it because HTC = closed source?..

Thx!

Yannick
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brat.haneq:
Closed source, drivers arent working. Aosp is easier to implement, but camera has always been difficult.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruudjuh1986:
So it HTC is making this impossible? I had my hopes up for the gingerbread with sense UI,(I'm not allowed to post a link but gingerbread with sense UI is coming soon possibly the HTC Desire 2) since the gingerbread roms without the sense UI already have the camera working etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonesy:
It cant be "closed source" because that would breach GPL!

They havnt even made 2.2 for the hero so we have no drivers.If there was a working .35 kernel (fully working) then we may have a chance!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B1nny:
Hmmm so that's how they got a 2.1 fully working even before 2.1 was officially released for the HTC Hero? By a kernel?

I'd say, let's get this .35 ***** running!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonesy:
They've been workign on it a while,just have to be patient
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B1nny:
