[Fascinate General] destroyerbmx:
leaked specs from MWC, big surprise no orion on the samsung.

http://www.droiddog.com/android-blo...-2/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Last I heard, Samsung was going to Tegra chips, not Qualcomm. If those specs are true, I'll likely go elsewhere for my next phone.
[Fascinate General] s44:
This makes no sense... Adreno 205 is actually a downgrade from what we have.
[Fascinate General] TheSonicEmerald:
Doesn't matter, never again am I getting a Samsung phone (I do however love the developers for putting such effort into being the software updaters of the Fascinate). Next phone is a Bionic, guaranteed.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Yeah, at best, it'd be on par with what we have. The only thing that combo has going for it is multi-core.

Why? If they leave the phone completely open as they have done with this, devs will come on board and fix whatever issues there are. You can always fix the software side, but you can't fix hardware.
[Fascinate General] TheSonicEmerald:
Unless Samsung makes their phones out of something a little more solid than plastic, and improves theirs GPS, call quality, and signal, Motorola is doing to have the edge in all these areas. Themes and custom roms are good enough for me, and Tegra 2 is speedy enough to last for a pretty long time.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Different specs posted on Android Central that look more believable to me, see here

Looks like they will be using their own processors
[Fascinate General] jonny_ftm:
Many different specs on many retailers sites, the confusion persists...

For me, if it keeps being 800x480, then better wait for qHD devices...
[Fascinate General] silverwolf0:
BGR has a review of the Atrix. Here is what they say about the qHD screen:

"The 4-inch display on the ATRIX packs a whopping 960 x 540 pixels into what Motorola is calling a qHD display. While the resolution is quite high, the display to us still looked pretty pixelated. It’s a little odd that the display on the Motorola DROID X actually looks better than the qHD display, in terms of clarity. Colors, however, look great and the panel is very bright and evenly lit. The screen on the ATRIX also fares very well in the touch sensitivity department with a solid and reliable capacitative touch screen."

http://www.bgr.com/2011/02/09/motorola-atrix-4g-review/

More pixels doesn't mean better. The Droid X screen isn't very good to begin with, and they say it looks worse than that. The youtube videos of the Atrix from CES don't flatter the screen either. Unless Google optimizes everything for the qHD display, it only has limited uses and with this screen at least, many visual drawbacks. qHD on the Atrix, another numbers game with little gain.

I can't get enough of sammies super amoleds...
[Fascinate General] jonny_ftm:
Many thanks for these info

Thought it was really better with higher res
[Fascinate General] destroyerbmx:
If it were a "revolutionary" retina display it would be good.
[Fascinate General] mexiken:
A display is only as good as the media its displaying. If Moto doesn't beef up their icons, then the extra res wont matter. That being said, the phone is capable of much better resolution than any phone, bested only by the iPhone, however, the SF has us all spoiled in the color depth and clarity dept.
[Fascinate General] nmyeti:
Isn't the sub pixel density much higher on the new samsung screens? If so, count me in. This phone is pretty good as is, has a great dev community and with a better screen and faster internals, what's not to like? Please don't say "lack of froyo on the fascinate," because it did take a long time, but we have it now.
[Fascinate General] destroyerbmx:
Its not the "lack" of froyo, my friends refuse to mod their phone and they dont have it. Its the lack of support, I really used to like samsung, but in overall product I was really let down by this product.

I am taking it as far as I might not get one of their TVs now, I have a friend who had to get his replaced, and my dads 3D wont work. Just feels like samsung is falling down all around me.
[Fascinate General] khanable:
To be released this month

What a slap in the face -- I just got my fascinate a week ago. lol.

Looks like the only way I'll ever see 2.3 (or anything official beyond 2.1) will be by buying up a GS2 :(
[Fascinate General] mexiken:
The pixel density is claimed to be higher, but there was a side by side done with those screens, and it wasn't that much of a difference to the naked eye. I wouldn't get my hopes up....just sayin'

And you have to realize, we have it, and its floating around the internet now, but most users neither have the time or the know-how/balls to install something like that. Those are the people I truly feel sorry for, they're getting duped.
[Fascinate General] KitsuneKnight:
You should have ~15 days to return the phone if you "don't like it", if you really want the second one that badly.
[Fascinate General] khanable:
I'm more than content with the phone.. esp with all the XDA dev love :)

I just have a horrible habit of buying tech and then a >month later a new version releases. lol.
[Fascinate General] spotmark:
My feelings exactly, and I'm willing to bet, that Motorola will have the Bionic locked up like you wouldn't believe. Much tighter then the X. It's too bad, because it's got great specs, but I probably won't go near it.
[Fascinate General] s44:
Another newbie whiner. Hint: this will *never* come to Verizon, not as 4G anyway.
[Fascinate General] beeblebrux:
Apple fanboy detected. As long as steve jobs says it's "revolutionary", it's "good".

I think sammy's samoled screens will stay on top for a while. It stinks how bad their reputation has been tarnished. They really do make awesome hardware. Despite the set backs, I still love this phone, mostly thanks to our lovely devs. But I'm gonna be using this phone for a while, so I'm even thinking about the new stuff coming into the market
[Fascinate General] neh4pres:
Just read an article about sgs 2 and sgpad 10.1... And it gives some specs.. It is def orion.

Rocking dj05 and jt's voodoo 5
[Fascinate General] nmyeti:
I think the place where the sub pixel density change would most show is text. Pentile is garbage for that.
[Fascinate General] Eddog4DROID:
They say the SII will be coming to TMobile and ATT. As is.

I may just switch to Tmobile once my contact us up.

I love my Fascinate but I am done with the CDMA Galaxy phones.

Edit: Just read Att only. There goes that.
[Fascinate General] destroyerbmx:
No, thats me just being sarcastic how apple says all of their stuff is revolutionary, thats why I put the quotes. Everything they have done everyone else has already, before apple did it. My friend got the iPhone 4 on VZW, put her through the paces against my fascinate, happy to say I blew apple out of the water on 3d, but he took me in linpack his 33 to my 13 mflops. Well once I get the thunderbolt it will be an easy victory.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwristews:
hi guys,

i would like to ask if anyone knows the way to change the twGTGLauncher icon for the 'apps'. i'm able to change any icons, only the 'apps ' icon couldn't .

please guide,

regards
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
download an app called 'desktop visualizer' its free in the market. then look in the apps and themes section for an icon pack... there are loads to choose from depending on your theme. then when you have that you can customise your icons to your liking. or even make your own if you know how to.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwristews:
bro, still unable to change the 'apps' particular icon.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
oh i see what you mean, the actual app drawer button...... im had the same issue. i dont think its possible on the TWLauncher. i can modify it on the launcher pro :D thats a good launcher IMO
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgkahn:
it is possible see this picture...

you need to get the de-odexed twlauncher from another thread here and be rooted and replace the .png using 7zip and replace file in /system/app
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
Oh wicked.... that looks well cool do you think it will work with Launcher Pro ??
[Windows Phone 7 General] splitzs69:
Has any one put wp7 on any android phones such as samsung galaxy s's was wondering cuz wp7 seems reAlly clean compared to android and ios
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Theres an app called Windows Phone Android that makes a bad attempt at ripping off the UI. Sadly its unlikely that that would ever happen as WP7 has different hardware requirements and you'd pretty much have to reinvent the bootloader :-p
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
The only thing I'm aware of custom WP7 running on is the HTC HD2. But it likely won't be long before a great many other phones have it. Sadly, it requires authentication and a key from MS, which will likely be useless after any update.

The good thing, though, is, MS rarely updates WP7 devices. LOL
[Windows Phone 7 General] splitzs69:
Well that figures lol thanks anyways guys
[Windows Phone 7 General] amtrakcn:
It's unlikely to happen because Galaxy S is on Hummingbird Platform while all current WP7 devices runs on Qualcom platform.

More likely an android port to WP7 phone can be done, though I doubt the necessity
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafiaboy01:
Hi, I have an Desire HD from telus, It was rooted, s-off, then hboot-off to get fastboot commands, I flashed CWM 3.0 then CM7 and finally reinstalled the proper radio via fast boot.

However I seem to have no sound at all, not in the earpiece during calls or the back speaker.

Did I kill the phone?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
When you say you reinstalled the proper radio via fastboot... could you explain precisely what you mean? Usually HTC Androids of different hardware bands can still all use the same radio firmware.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafiaboy01:
When I downgraded it changed the radio so I put the telus one back on.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomerc:
menu-settings-sound-volume

is it on max?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafiaboy01:
Yup it was at max, I ended up getting it replaced, I'm gonna hold out on rooting it and stuff until people find out why the telus version is having these problems.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
How did you locate the Telus radio to put it back on? To my knowledge there is no such radio easily available on the forums. Are you saying you made a backup of the radio and restored it later? Please clarify exactly how you did this and be as specific as possible. I have a gut feeling this is how you broke it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hydroxide:
Same thing Happened to me. bought a Desire HD this morning from telus, Rooted , S-Off and super-CID...

now theres no sound at all
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafiaboy01:
Got it off the forum
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Again... please give more detail? Can you provide a link to the Telus radio you flashed to your DHD?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Okay now I see what you mean. There's a thread.

Question: When you say you tried flashing back to stock, did you use the Telus Ace RUU that is posted on the forums?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=932771

And your sound still didn't come back?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafiaboy01:
No I didn't, I already got it replaced and haven't tried again. But it seems like more people are back.g the problem.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafiaboy01:
I would also try flashing the TELUS ruu as recommended above.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
And let us know if that fixes it =)

If I am not mistaken, the route:

Downgrade -> Radio S-OFF -> Telus RUU

should lead you to almost back where you started from but now with S-OFF. If everything is functional at that point, perhaps you could permroot from there and put in the custom recovery. Then try flashing custom ROMs and hopefully the sound won't go away.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafiaboy01:
Ya, but still would be nice to know the root of the problem.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
I wonder if there is a specific sound component in this phone that is just different hardware from the Euro/Asian versions, and the older firmwares (maybe in radio, maybe in HBOOT?) don't have a driver for it.

On the non-HD Desire there was an issue where if you try to downgrade to an Eclair firmware meant for an AMOLED phone and you have SLCD, you end up with no display. I am reminded of that. The quickest solutions were to upgrade back using the RUU with the right hardware support.

Thankfully it's easier to find your way around a no-sound phone than a no-screen phone!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafiaboy01:
Ya that does sound easier then the original one.

Where is the TELUS ruu?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:

RUU_Ace_TELUS_WWE_1.84.661.1_R_Radio_12.35d.60.140 f_26.06.03.24_M2_release

This appears to match exactly the reported baseband version and build number for the unmodified Telus Desire HD.

[Desire General] Korntoff:
Anyone keen to play with the Kernel driver for the touchscreen on the desire, to come up with a patch that keeps axis inversion/sticking to a bare minimum? This is the only think keeping me from getting a desire, as I don't want to be held back by hardware. Playing multi-touch Pong and Air Hockey with my friends at school is something I want to be able to do, not to mention the almost console quality games like NOVA. A fix (kind-of) was made for the Acer Liquid By a guy playing with the kernal drivers. All of my developing focus is going into learning Java right now (Gotta start somewhere, right? :P) and I do not have a device to test on, so if someone could have a go with the source from the Acer thread or create something themselves from/for the kernel at developer.htc.com would be more than greatful, because I'm not exactly keen on the Desire hd's form facter and buttons, despite the performance. Sucks that all the Desire phones have a big flaw. (Desire - Multitouch. Z - hinge. HD - Size could be a problem, buttons too flush and delicate battery, sim, and SD covers.)

Thanks in advance for your time, and, hopefully, hard work. :)
[Desire General] flemminghave:
Would be very cool, It's practically impossible to play games like modern combat, or any other games where your fingers cross, because of the axis swapping. A fix that, almost, prevents that would be awesome. :-)
[Desire General] Paradoxxx:
Yeh, that very a big problem...
[Desire General] Korntoff:
I know it's impossible to truly fix it, but you can get close. personally, I don't care for having more than two finger gestures, I just want perfectly stable multitouch. If someone could create a driver that assigns an id to the first and second touch, and tries to, as accurately as possible, track which registered touch is which, even when the movement exceeds the refresh rate of the screen/sensor, and reads 2 individual touches when they are close/the axises are close. I've been reading up on how the synaptics ClearPad 2000 works, and it reports 2 coordinates for each touch, an x and a y. Shouldn't be too hard for it to not get very confused, right? I'd say, this is a year overdue. But the Desire is still one of the greatest phones ever made (if not THE). This issue still stands between me and it, even though it can barely be noticed in everyday use.
[Desire General] Aitese:
Korntoff, trust me when I say I'm not trying to be rude, although it may come across that way (the internet isn't good at the subtle and nuanced art of conversation) but don't you think it's the height of arrogance to believe you're the first person to have even considered this? It's the 14th of February. The HTC Desire will have been available for a whole year in just two days and you're asking this as if it hadn't dawned on all of these people for almost a year.

Wow...such a simple solution...why have none of us thought of it!!? C'mon man.
[Desire General] yeahman45:
so this will never be fixed?
[Desire General] WhiteCyclone:
IIRC, this is a hardware issue rather than a software issue. So I don't think it's possible.
[Desire General] yeahman45:
i am already regretting buying the htc desire... i am getting it tomorrow.... i didn't know there was that multitouch issue until yesterday... i always thought the htc devices wre top notch as it got such great reviews... none mentioned the multitouch bug... i was planning to play a lot of games... i am so disappointed..

edit: i think the issues of htc desire should be stickied.. i can't believe i missed that issue before i was deciding to buy the desire... it's too late now... i was planning to buy the acer liquid but saw it had multitouch issue... through the forums... i missed it for desire... darn
[Desire General] yeahman45:
are there some tips to avois this multitouch bug while playing games or typing on the virtual keyboard?
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I tried NOVA and it seemed fairly responsive to be honest - there was a recommended control setup for the desire to help prevent the multi-touch issue - and i am sure i read somewhere a tip was to try and make sure the touches don't line up with each other?
[Desire General] yeahman45:
yup i saw it... but are all games configurable like nova?
[Desire General] Dutch Sephiroth:
In The Netherlands we have a 7 day cooling down period after buying something or signing a contract (with most expensive purchases). In those days you can cancel your purchase for free. You should see if something like that applies where you live as well.
[Desire General] yeahman45:
thx for the advice but no such thing here... anyway thx for helping.. i got the phone and yes got some issues with the multitouch... guess i will live with it.. apart from that the phone is very good!
[Desire General] yeahman45:
i just played crash bandicoot warped on fpse and i mapped the x and o keys on the "search" and "back" physical keys and use the touch dpad... and works pretty good!!! i have reached the first boss level quite easily... if only all android games were that customizable!! would be able to play all the multitouch games properly
[Desire General] Korntoff:
My Dad gave me his hd2, and it has the axis sticking issue, but not axis swapping. Less of an issue, but still annoying at times. (Such as playing N.O.V.A (btw, I can't find it on the market, using an apk I downloaded from some site (I hope it was a free app and that this is perfectly legal, but I'm probably wrong.) Is it still on the market? How did you guys find it?) But this phone was definately not built for gaming (adreno 200, anybody?) So it's not that much of a big deal.)

Btw, nexus gingerbread ROM, hence signature.
[Desire General] yeahman45:
i thought hd2 had clearpad 2000 like nexus one and desire???

"But this phone was definately not built for gaming (adreno 200, anybody?)"

but still some casual gaming with no bugs wud have been cool..for the price u pay for this kind of phone
[Desire General] Korntoff:
Casual gaming is still very possible, just don't expect halo 3 graphics. Does the hd2 have clearpad 2000? Maybe the Desire multitouch isn't such a lost cause.

Sent from my Gingerfied hd2 :D
[Desire General] AndroHero:
Without sounding rude, it's not an issue or a bug, the bottom line is the desire dosent have multi touch, it has dual touch, the axis flipping is just a downside to that type of touch panel, it's nothing to do with the quality of htc products, as the screen is behaving as it should. so you really should of researched your purchase before you bought it.
[Desire General] Korntoff:
Even though the hd2 has the same touch panel and no axis swapping issue.

Sent from my Gingerfied hd2 :D
[Desire General] yeahman45:
how come hd2 does not have the axis swapping issue although it has the same screen as htc desire and nexus one??
[Desire General] Gundam00qan:
Without sounding rude as well, I asked HTC and they claimed it has.

;)
[Desire General] Tillus:
Without sounding rude, HTC's homepage says "Display 3.7 inches 480 X 800 WVGA Vibrant capacitive touch screen with pinch-to-zoom capability".

And besides, two fingers are more than one, so its multitouch. ;)

Apart from the new Google Maps (rotating the map is choppy), I never experienced any problems during daily use.
[Desire General] mihai.onu94:
The lg optimus one p500 has the same problem and guess what, it was fixed like the one from the acer.

maybe a developer can adapt it for desire? would be great! Yup for daily use, the multitouch bug does not affect anything except that i get it sometimes when typing quickly in the virtual keyboard
[Desire General] cartmanotfat:
A developer may tell us whether it is possible to influence the touchscreen?

Sorry my bad English.
[Desire General] cartmanotfat:
Nobody can answer me? Why it is impossible to solve the problem on the Optimus one and not the desire?

cuz no one seems interested in such a project.. too bad :( ... i am trying to learn a bit more on dev .. will take some time for me to get used to it though :(

Because no one cares enough, apparently. And here I was. Thinking the Desire had a big Dec community.
[Desire General] Paradoxxx:
Dude, sound too bad, cmon dev.
[Desire General] yeahman45:
yup no dev seems motivated to find a workaround for this issue :( i don't understand why hd2 does not have the problem although both have the same screen

i cant undestand why devs arent interested.

maybe this issue can be solved, well atleast the axis stiching.

cmon it would be awsome! if i had some money i would definetly donete it all to devs that solve this problem.
[Desire General] Korntoff:
Then why is there no axis swapping on hd2? And why has this issue been fixed multiple times on other devices?
[Desire General] andQlimax:
Not the same crap hardware?? What do you think?

The thing that I dont like is the fact that in this thread some users think that the devs are just ignoring this problem..
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
Why would it? it's not the same screen, not even the same size screen.
[Desire General] Korntoff:
It has the same crappy Synaptics clear pad 2000 touch sensor which is causing the problem with tjr Desire.
[Desire General] yeahman45:
they have the same clearpad 2000 capactive touch screen but HD2 does not have the axis swapping issue.

to be honest, the axis sticking issue seems impossible to fix but axis swapping issue has been "fixed"(workaround found) found on acer phones and lg optimus one...
