[HTC Inspire 4G] AndreaCristiano:
1. S-LCD performs much better in sunlight then a superamoled

2. thats not because of the gorilla its because of an olio phobic coating, dont think either the captivate or inspire have that[/B]
[HTC Inspire 4G] nickmgray:
I've been using the Inspire 4G for a few days and can say that the screen in just OK in direct sunlight. While lab test claim that SLCD is better than Super AMOLED in this situation, most people will not be able to tell the difference between the two.

Keep in mind that SLCD's viewing angles are the worst out of most current generation technologies while Super AMOLED is considered to have the best viewing angles.

I just received my Inspire 4g in the mail. I'm currently the owner of a captivate, and purchased the inspire to hold me over till I can get my hands on the Galaxy S2.

The inspires 4.3" screen is real nice as far as size goes. And web browsing is also nicer, as the s-lcd does not suffer from the pentile matrix of the current amoled screen.

That being said, the captivates screen is far superior in terms of contrast and color. Once you have both side by side, the Inspire looks washed out and weak.

If funds are an issue, I would wait for the samsung infuse (4.5") or the galaxy S2 (4.3"); which both utilize the new amoled+ (eliminating the "grainy" look)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Aridon:
Samsung can kiss my ass. Nice screen but the software is so horrendous I'll never buy another samsung smart phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Divinedark:
1.) I really don't have much luck with the SLCD in direct sunlight. It's fairly visible, but I do have to shade it with my hand if it's too bright out.

2.) The oliophobic coating on the Inspire screen is pretty damn good, but I use a Seinheil screen protector. It never needs wiped, and it's quite literally the most clear piece of protective plastic I've ever put on a phone. Remember, this isn't Gorilla Glass. This is standard old silicate glass. It will scratch without much resistance if you touch it with something hard enough.

I really rather cold to the SAMOLED of my Captivate and Focus. The contrast is great, but it was WAY over saturated to the point of making everything look like a cartoon, and it is pentile matrix, which bothers me to no end. My Atrix was the same way. qHD shows very similar traits with SAMOLED, but it's color reproduction is poor in accuracy, but much more natural in saturation.

And I echo the feelings of some on this forum. Unless Samsung starts throwing hookers through my bedroom window, I'll probably never own another Android phone they've ever put their mitts on. I love the customer service I've receive from their television division, but their mobile support and service sucks... It's just awful...
[HTC Inspire 4G] teranoid:
I believe it is Gorilla Glass. At least that is what it says on the website mentioned above D:
[HTC Inspire 4G] Kizzmiazz:
I love the inspires screen. It does have gorilla glass and finger prints actually are easier to get off than the captivate. I have two cappys and I can't go back I feel the inspire is better than any thing the cappy has .

Plus as you see in my sig Adam's Phoenix Evolution HD for the inspire is in beta and let me tell you it rocks. Fast as hell and already looks good and its not even done ;)

[HTC Inspire 4G] ryanmfraser:
Well that's news to me. When the Inspire first came out every tech spec, website, forum, etcetera stated that it did NOT have gorilla glass. This is aa pleasant revelation.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Divinedark:
Oh, interesting! I remember reading that it was hardened silicate. I guess the review had it wrong. Bonus! :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] tmt64:
Wow they must have updated that gorilla glass page because I checked the same page when the inspire first came out and neither the desire HD nor the inspire 4g was on that page

Yeah here is the link with all products with the gorilla glass and Inspire 4G is in there.

S-LCD screen

Since the Inspire 4G has S-LCD and the Desire HD has LCD. Would the Inspire 4G have a better battery life than the Desire HD?

Sorry to hijack the thread but I didn't think my question is worth starting a whole new thread.

Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MartyLK:
If you are determining that based on the Inspire's LCD, it would be incorrect. The Inspire has only a normal LCD...not even TFT...that HTC is calling a Super LCD based only on its size and having nothing to do with S-LCD technology.

S-LCD tech is the same as TFT and IPS, which are the best in the world and the iPhone 4 uses it...Apple calls it Retina Display. I have an iPhone 4, Samsung Focus with the SAMOLED, HTC HD2 with a lowly non-TFT LCD and an Inspire and I have compared them all. The iPhone's display is the best of them all with viewing angle and color retention at extreme viewing angles. The next best is the SAMOLED, which has color shifting...toward a bluish or greenish tint...at extreme viewing angles. Then comes the HTC HD2 and Inspire and they are both identical at extreme viewing angles, which is to say, not very good...not bad, though.

If the Inspire had an S-LCD...as opposed to Super LCD...the viewing angle would be as good as the iPhone 4's. It isn't.

For some Wiki info, check this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TFT_LCD

For some other info about the Inspire, have a look at this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12916916&postcount=1
[HTC Inspire 4G] sraitter:
You should really Flash it. As much as I am in love with my Inspire the old Cappy holds a near and dear place in my heart.

Try the Serendipity ROM for MikeyMike with the SpeedMOD Kernel and the UGJK Gingerbread modem. It is SCREAMINGLY fast with 3 days of battery life for me.

Inspire is my personal phone and Cappy is my work since it is so reliable and I returned the POS, gender confused Moto Atrix.

Oh yeah ... they both suck in direct sunlight. I suggest purchasing a Portable Shading Device commonly known as an Umbrella.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] N00b-un-2:
Just wondering if its possible to run win phone on the optimus t/one
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ruwin:
technically it can be done, it depends how much time you one has to invest in cracking wp7. I see no reason in running wp7 on an Android phone, besides bragging rights.

There is no easy way of installing wp7 on phones designed for something else for now...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] yanuk:
looking at WP7 hardware requirements, and our phone, it just won't do..

why would you want WP when you have Android.

[EVO Shift 4G General] ttown:
I just hit my 30 day mark on my Shift. I thought I would share my thoughts on the phone and encourage others to do the same.

I came from the Touch Pro and this is my first experience owning an Android phone. I am still stock and not rooted. The phone is running incredibly smooth. Battery life has been very good. I can easily go 15 hours with heavy usage on a single charge. I did buy a car charger, but haven't needed to use it even though I have used the music player and Pandora for over an hour sometimes.

While I didn't buy the phone for the keyboard, I have found I use it as my primary input method. The camera is decent, but won't win any awards. The camera needs to be absolutely still, or photos will come out blurry. Video is similar as fast moving objects will tend to blur?

All in all I am very happy with my purchase. This is the best phone I have ever owned. I have said this about my last 5 phones, but isn't that what technology is all about?
[EVO Shift 4G General] foxsdaddy67:
well at least ya didnt own a moment before this. that phone was just about enough to sour anyone on a phone. the only saving grace on it was rooting and android. otherwise it was a POS:D this phone absolutely rocks
[EVO Shift 4G General] jjb61:
I am coming from an HTC Aria that was rooted and a nightly build of CM7 on it. I have had my new Shift for for about a week now. I have it rooted and have all the bloatware removed. I love the phone so far, I can't wait to get some ROMs installed on it to see how it really performs.

Sure you don't want to return it for this thing?:

[EVO Shift 4G General] tatonka_hero:
I'll let you know when my new one arrives in the mail.

The slider on my current one is so insanely loose I had to get it replaced, and being on an employee plan they have to ship me a new phone and a mailer to return the old phone. Hopefully the slider won't be so loose on the new one--this one can rotate about 10 degrees when fully open and holding one side up....very annoying
[EVO Shift 4G General] tonyk__78:
This all sounds good being im available for a discount on a new phone. Coming from the Evo..fully rooted, it annoys me the processor can only go to 1.19Ghz stable on aosp. What turns me on about the Shift is that it can OC to 1.51Ghz so far. I may just give it a shot.

[EVO Shift 4G General] sn0:
I came from a Touch Pro as well. I absolutely love the Evo Shift. The size of the phone is perfect and the keyboard is great (two main reasons for getting this phone). The phone seems very fast compared to what I'm used to and the Android Market is great; I can't believe the number of free apps.
[EVO Shift 4G General] silex:
Loving mine so far. Also still on stock ROM. Dabbled with some temp rooting, but have yet to attempt the perm method. Might have to root soon as I'm running out of internal space =O. I still have 2 more days to consider returning it, but don't think I will. Didn't realize there were o/c'ing kernels already out. I'm curious if I can hit 1.8GHz =D
[EVO Shift 4G General] germancarsrock:
I upgraded all the way from a Centro. I was pretty good with that keyboard, so really wanted the hw keyboard again.

However, with Swype installed, I never use the keyboard! I've opened it a few times for some technical input, but other than that, it stays closed.

I hate the z hinge on the g2 and was happy to hear the shift was a slider. However, now I want the z-hinge! I feel like the shift slider is getting looser. Its no where near what some people report, but it definitely has some play in it when closed.

I am very happy with the purchase overall. I never would have thought I'd also be happy with a phone with the same screen size except no slider.
[EVO Shift 4G General] ttown:
Did you remove the protective stickers on the keyboard and back of the phone? I have kept mine on and the phone is as solid as the day I bought mine.
[EVO Shift 4G General] tatonka_hero:
yeah, I removed mine right away out of habit, and it's loose enough that I'm getting a new one (which I won't be removing the plastic if it stays on good). I was actually thinking of putting a piece of scotch tape on the back to help with it, but never got around to it before ordering a new one.
[EVO Shift 4G General] ttown:
I am thinking the Zagg screen protector might work if cut to fit in those areas. It should provide enough resistance to keep the keyboard shut.
[Nook Color General] DZ469:
I rooted my nook yesterday using the autonooter 3.0 which i guess is not official, but anyways, I'm just not happy with it and I would like to get my Nook back to stock. However, when I try to do 8 failed boots, it won't cancel the boot when I press the power button. I mean I am jamming it down and it still goes through the boot.

Unfortunately, I also have not figured out how to get adb working. I followed the instructions on nookDevs and adb devices kept showing my SN as 11223344556677. Mind you it was showing up fine in device manager as Android composite ADB device. I figured heck with it I'll just root it. Now its not showing up at all.

So it seems like I'm hosed as far as resetting my nook. Any way out of this? :(
[Nook Color General] Pinesal:
install clockwork recovery and use that to flash the stock rom.
[Nook Color General] DZ469:
ok well I installed ROM manager and then flashed CWR to my SD card. I then made a backup of my current rom in case I somehow decided to go back to it. But after selecting reboot system now in CWR it keeps booting into CWR. How do i get out of it?
[Nook Color General] altimax98:
Is the SD card flashed to CWR still in there? Is like a pc set to boot from the cd drive before hdd, no matter what, if theres a sd card in it, it will try to boot from it first..

You can remove the sd card when in CWR just remove it and then select reboot

Sent from one of those missing Droids
[Nook Color General] DZ469:
Yeah, I took it out. But for some reason it didnt recognize it wasnt in there. so it was pretty much boot cycling just it was going into CWR. I just flashed the stock 1.0.1 ROM so it's working now, just have to reregister the nook.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Davo:
Hi All,

I am using my HTC Desire HD with USB Teethering in an attempt to connect my Desktop computer to the internet.

HTC Sync, drivers, etc are installed onto my Windows 7 x64 Desktop.

However I am only getting an intermittent internet connection. Sometimes the phone & windows play nice (and I can browse the web) and sometimes they don't (which usually results in me browsing the ceiling and cursing!).

Here is an IPCONFIG output from an instance when I was not able to browse the web:

Here is a screen shot of the same occassion:

As can be seen above an I.P. address is being obtained, and Windows knows that a "HTC Remote NDIS based Device" is connected. It simply won't accept the presence of a valid network connection, and as a result it refuses to let me browse the web or do anything remotely useful with the "pseudo-connection".

Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I formated my sd card from recovery-windows and i got a bootloop when i rebooted it.

No more access to recovery-windows, i took off my sd card, bootloop again, i had to go to recovery with red triangle, pull off battery, disconnect from usb and reboot to make it work.

Factory is reset but no more network even with proper settings, and i can't access the recovery windows without having bootloop all over again. I got a mysterious IMEI SV number now too.

Strange things is the drivers are mad in hboot and recovery now , i got something like this.

I don't understand what went wrong, can someone point me in the right direction to make it work?
[Legend General] shara6:
is your phone rooted?
[Legend General] Wooven:
Yes, with blay0 0.7 currently on it.

So the network came back after one complete day without it. Don't ask me why.

But i have other major issues:

-SD Card slot not recognize, tested with different SD cards, same result.

-Bootloop when i boot my phone, only way to get around it is to plug it in usb, don't ask me why too.

-Weird Drivers still nuts with HTC DIAG, Qualcomm CDMA Technology not recognize.

I didn't know a simple SD card format from recovery can cause so much trouble :'(

Undoubtly the native drivers from Hboot disappeared, and without sd card nor recovery from PC, i don't know how to bring them back.

Can someone help me please, i don't want to lose it :'(

[Epic 4G General] shahin26:
Hi. I have been on DK28 for about a month now and I'm fairly happy with it. However, There are a few issues (nothing too major) that i would like to ask help for. just to kindda be quick, I used odin to go to dk28. I had removed some bloatware while on 2.1 and flashing would not work for me so i had to use odin. I was rooted on DI18 and im rooted also on DK28. I do know that this is not the official release and IT IS buggy but i thought some of these issues might have been resolved.

These are the problems:

-screen rotation lags. Whenever i go from landscape to portrait or wise versa the screen takes like 3 or 4 seconds to change orientations. I remember it was almost instant on DI18.

--I drop internet connection a lot. I always get the connection failed error message regardless of whether im on 3g 0r 4g. i'd be on youtube for like 15 min and this happens. Same when im browsing the market. The icons on the notification bar show signal bars but the phone is not connecting. I have to toggle them on and off to get back online. I did try to flash older modems but wasnt able to (system error 7 or sm like that).

---battrey is not calibrated. I used the "wipe battery stat" trick a few times and it does not seem to help. when the phone is fully charged it shows 100% and as soon as i take it off the charger it goes to 96%!

----SOmetimes when i make calls the counter on the screen starts but i dont hear anything. If i make a second attempt i get through right away!

-----I dont use Bluetooth a lot but it seems like most of the times i have to unpair and re-pair back my jawbone for it to connect. I never had this issue with DI18.

Everything else seems to be working ok.

Thanks in advance for reading this and helping me if you can.

and ohh. btw here is some info about my phone in case you need them:

Frmw versoin 2.2.1

baseband: s:D700.0.55.KD28

Kernel: 2.6.32.9

Build: froyo.DK28
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
1. for screen rotation fix do this: get android terminal from market. type"su" (without "") then type /system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yahama and hit enter. follow the onscreen instructions.

2. for better data connection do this Get your MSL#

Easy way to get your MSL # use connectbot from market

Go to phone > Dialer > ##3282# > Multimedia > Enter "MSL" > You will see RTST Proxy, HTTPPD Proxy > modify every list > set Address with "0.0.0.0", port with '0'.

this will help with speed but data connection errors are pretty common on dk28.ive seen a great speed increase after doing this.

3. battery thing is common for the phone so the battery doesnt overcharge.

4.when you cant hear anything toggle speakerphone on/off and then you can hear them without calling them back.

5. dont use bluetooth. cant help you sorry.

hope i helped you
[Epic 4G General] shahin26:
Thank you very much for you help. I did the Calibration thing and now the phone only does horizontal orientation. lol. Im flashing back to DI18 and starting all over again. Its kindda fun anyways!
