[HTC Inspire 4G] crachel:
I agree completely.. I'm probably going to pick the Inspire 4G up no matter what, but the Galaxy S II, specs-wise is intriguing. There are 2 glaring issues with the GSII though

Made by Samsung

The OS won't even support dual core until at least April and youre looking at even longer for developers to take advantage. So real world improvements with the dual core are several months out AT LEAST, and even then its almost exclusively going to be games. Sending TXT, email, phone, browsing, heck even watching video, a Snapdragon/GPU combo is more than enough. So its like cruising your Corvette in a school zone for 6 months
[HTC Inspire 4G] mikejames07:
I'm not talking about the Samsung Infuse. That's what your talking about. That is the Galaxy S 2. Engaged reported the other day about the Nexus S itself being passed through the FCC.
[HTC Inspire 4G] aNdroidnut:
Samsung is a joke in my opinion. They still have yet to release 2.2 for all their galaxy devices and keep coming out with the same galaxy devices, granted a couple extra inches added to the screen and newer versions(2.3) of touchwiz. Just my opinion again but wtf were they thinking releasing a vibrant on tmobile with a front facing camera and hspa???? Hello most vibrant owners have already made the mode themselves. Next post will be about their plastic=) Sorry but theyre a joke IMO right now
[HTC Inspire 4G] bkeaver:
the infuse is NOT the GalaxyS 2 the Infuse will have a 4.5" screen and have a single core 1.2 processor. the GalaxyS2 has a dual core 1 gig processor with a 4.3" display
[HTC Inspire 4G] mikejames07:
That is true, however, the phone I am talking about is just a nexus s for at&t. No dual core processor etc. Here is the link http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/13/samsung-nexus-s-revisits-the-fcc-this-time-with-bands-for-atandt/
[HTC Inspire 4G] waltah!:
If you use gps then HTC will murder Samsung in that respect. I feel like the Nexus S was a poor choice to be the next Nexus device. It's too similar to the Galaxy S devices that have been out for quite a while. I came from the iP4 and also have a Captivate. The Inspire is fast. Really fast. I haven't noticed any lag and that's one of my biggest things. Using the Captivate is torture and I have it rooted and running Cognition.

This or the Atrix are the only really solid choices on AT&T for the next few months. The Infuse will be typical Samsung. Screen will be pretty and it will be the last of the three phones mentioned to get Gingerbread or any other updates.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sabwafare2001:
The Ip4 has the best battery life of any smartphone with a 1ghz cpu IMO. I have used every highend android phone that has come out, including recently the Desire Z, Nexus S, and now the Inspire. I will skip out on the ATT 3G version of the Nexus S because at $560 with tax, it just isn't worth it espeically with other "better" phones coming out that will be the same price in the up coming months. It a good chance that the SGS 2 will be about $500 to $600 espeically with the Atrix at $500

I like the Inspire because of it's screen size, and definitly the cost per performance of it, only $430 with tax outright from ATT. IMO I don't see paying $140ish more for a phone with similar performance, on the otherhand I think if the Inspire was $500, that would be too much for the hardware.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nkd:
True but the iphone is not clocked at 1ghz. it is the same cpu as ipad but clocled slower from what I have read.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dgw2jr:
I know this thread is old but I thought this information might be helpful for people who are stuck buying older phones.

I have both the Nexus S i9020A and Inspire 4G at the moment and I have made the following observations.

The Inspire HSPA connection (3mbps) is far better than the Nexus S (1mbps).

SMS fail to go through on the Nexus frequently.

Both phones are running 4.2.2 ROMs. The Inspire is far more responsive probably due to it's memory advantage over the Nexus.

The Inspire screen is larger and easier to type on and read. The colors are also more subtle and easy on the eyes.

The Nexus S screen has deeper colors but the default color profile makes the whites look yellow. Also, the pentile matrix is obvious and hard to look at.

Battery life is much better on the Inspire with 2 days of standby with WIFI, GPS, and HSPA/3G. Nexus S can only go about 12 hours with the same configuration.

The Nexus S is lighter but feels a bit more fragile.

The Nexus S is picky about which USB cables it will work with.

The Inspire camera can take finer quality pictures than the Nexus S camera.

The Nexus S is stuck with 16GB of storage while the Inspire is expanded to 32GB.

FWIW I'm on Straight Talk AT&T SIM
[HTC Inspire 4G] lemonoid:
I own both. neither are on a mobile network, NS used to be, call quality was great. However, I literally got the Infuse about 30 minutes ago so I'm doing what I can with it to see how it is. It's pissin me off I can't get system updates bc of no SIM. I think I'm gonna work on something to put my Bionic SIM in it. I'll let you know a fair comparison of the two. so far, both, look awesome, feel awesome, both are snappy. NS4G has TONS of support, I'm about to see what that's like here for the Infuse, thats what I was coming to do when I stumbled across this. I'll post updates.

UPDATE: Already, when playing various games, I notice that the touch response on the Inspire is not nearly as sensitive as the Nexus, that's one reason I love my Nexus, is the intense screen sensitivity and of course, the screen in general. the AMOLED is amazing.
[Vibrant General] vahdyx:
All the browsers I've been using for my phone are slow, laggy especially in forums and typing is a pain. Why?

Miren; is slow on forums and loading pages. Scrolling is choppy and typing on forums is so bad. Loading massive pictures on forums is a pain.

Dolphin HD; is the same as above, but not as bad. Still an issue.

Skyfire; not as bad on forums, but not as good as say iPhone or Opera mini browser on forums.

Opera Mini; awesome scrolling, but no pinch to zoom, no link detection on forums, typing on forums is good. Website compatibility issues, like my bank for example.

Opera 10 beta; website compatibility... I can't remember what else I didn't like about it. *** edit *** oh I remember no flash support as of now, same with mini

Stock; Tabs suck, scrolling suck, forum typing sucks, can't exit program without task killer or hitting back 1000000000 times.

All the browsers suck at scrolling, but the one that is good there's a whole new set of issues. Why? is it my ROM (Team Whiskey) not being fully compatible or something to do with android in general?
[Vibrant General] misfitpierce:
I'm still on JI6 2.1~1 update but rooted but didn't modify anything browser wise and stock browser as well as opera both scroll and pinch to zoom fast with no lag or stutter so I dunno.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
OP did you try disabling flash? My broswer works fine using bionix V. Try using JFD or JI6. Browser in 2.1 is waaay faster than 2.2
[Vibrant General] Arkasai:
I dunno what would cause bad performance like that, maybe clear your cache data. I actually prefer the stock and Opera browsers better than their desktop versions for reading blogs and forums...maybe cause I can do it laying down and one handed thanks to swype.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
You could try flashing that 2.2.1 ROM. The browser in 2.2.1 is supposed to be faster, right?
[Vibrant General] Kutulu666:
All the browsers suck in froyo for using forums. I cant even see what im typing atm due to the way they got rid of text editing box. The only browser ive found that still has it is opera mini and that has silly refresh issues that end up deleting your post before you can submit it.

Also lol at the captcha on this site. Was bloody hard to do on mobile. Especially for a forum about mobile development...
[Vibrant General] thegreatcity:
Have you tried Dolphin Mini? Its not perfect either, but I've tried all the browsers you listed as well, and this one has been my favorite so far.
[Vibrant General] brian4292:
firefox is ok, its has smooth scrolling, but it takes a while to start up and its a resource hog.
[Vibrant General] k4ylr:
I happen to like Miren Browser from the market. Its free and gets the job done and often times allows me to DL attachments and such not normally accessible.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guravneet:
Hi,

I have noticed on my SGS that there are always 10-12 background apps that are running... Although I have Advanced Task Killer installed... And also there is significant drain in the battery as well... I loose 3-4% in one hour (when the phone is idle)...

Is this normal ?

Is there any way to avoid the background apps to start automatically? Does these apps drain the battery?

Also, I am using Launcher Pro... Whether it can be the reason for the drain in the battery?

Is there anyway to reduce the battery drain?

P.S: The phone is rooted...

Thanks,

Guru

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] auralzx:
stop using task killers.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frostfree:
3-4% isn't unusual, but task killers will make it worse.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yani2000:
Hmm... I have the same problem with Doc's Rom XWJS3+speedmod kernel.

Somethimes I get 2%/hour battery drain (which is normal for me) and other times I get mad 5%/hour battery drains.

When I got the 5%/h battery drain I checked Spare Parts, but it didn't show nothing unusual.

And I know Spare Parts and the usual suspects: Gallery 3D, Dialer, Fruit Ninja,...

Thx god phone reboot fixes the mad battery drain.

Too bad this isn't fixable because no app shows high battery usage in Spare Parts.

EDIT: I do not use Task Killers and yes I would also not recommend using them.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guravneet:
Thanks guys for the replies... I have disabled Advanced Task killer and now monitoring the battery drain...

Also, any idea if Launcher Pro consumes battery as well? Since I have kept it as my default launcher...

Thanks,

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1a11ous:
Yes I guess we are all in the same boat.

When I clear level 1 and 2 memory in the task manager, I get a note that 10+ apps have been stopped but I believe this is not the right thing to do.

Android OS seem to work this way.

I need to do some reading about it.

Can someone explain what are the disadvantages of using advanced task managers?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
the stock task manager is fine.. its the other ones from the market that contribute to battery drain,, even tho they are made to decrease battery drain.... weird i know...

they are permanently checking the OS for running apps, and certain options like 'show notification message' or 'auto kill at screen off' means the app is running permanently.... even when you kill it. it just starts back up in a blink of an eye...

stick to the stock task killer as its no better / worse than the rest......
[EVO Shift 4G General] bearsblack:
Well ill start off by saying I'm new here and this is my first post. I'm also very new to this stuff and have a lot to learn. A buddy of mine recently rooted and overclocked my phone using the sense 2.6.32.21 1.5ghz oc/uv kernel. I currently have it set to 1.19 max 768 min and am experiencing temps above 107 running emulators and just web browsing.. I am also seeing pretty poor batt life even using battery booster and advanced task killer.. any help is greatly appreciated!
[EVO Shift 4G General] HTCotta:
Battery apps and task killers tend to have the opposite of their intended effect on battery. Android has a built in utility to watch battery usage, why do you need a 3rd party one? Also do some reading on task killers, you will see why they are unnecessary on Android. I've stopped using one and my phone runs faster and more stable than before.
[EVO Shift 4G General] ahager88:
768 min is VERY high. Might explain the heating and battery life drain quite a bit.

Try this for me, please. Set your governor to interactive and drop your min down to 245. Run that for a whole charge. You may be surprised. :)

Sent from my PG06100

Also, I second the post above me. Advanced Task Killer and anything like it ultimately cause more harm than good. Battery apps, such as Juice Defender, also shouldn't be necessary. Although, it is YOUR phone.
[EVO Shift 4G General] bearsblack:
Thanks a lot for the replys. I set the min to 245 and am seeing serious changes in temps. I also uninstalled atk but installed appkik. I am also still running battery booster but may get rid of it soon.. I feel like this phone should have better batt life. Any suggestions?
[EVO Shift 4G General] foxsdaddy67:
well they gave some suggestions. which it seems you dont want to listen to. you dont need task killers of any kind
[EVO Shift 4G General] bearsblack:
Sorry I'm stubborn. Uninstalling now
[EVO Shift 4G General] Compusmurf:
No disrespect here, but seriously, if you don't know what and why you're overclocking, don't know the inherent risks, etc, why are you doing it?
[EVO Shift 4G General] riggsandroid:
because all the cool kids are doing it smurf...duh.

But seriously, min. should not be set at anything greater then 245. Only use performance if you are benchmarking. Default at the moment should be interactive.
[EVO Shift 4G General] onefasttreopro:
Just gonna add my 2 cents in from personal observation....after doing some reading on overlooking and stuff I've noticed when going into the different ## modes, the shift usually drops its processor cycles to pretty low numbers in the 200-300 mhz range when its just in standby or not doing anything...it only kicks it up when you need the power. So the heating up is probably caused by constantly running at what used to be its max territory...PLUS youre going above and beyond the original limits/specs at a constant so it never gets to relax even when the phone is idle...I hope that makes sense. So as one poster mentioned keep the min at the stock setting and if you really want to/need to then raise the max mhz to whatever your phone can handle reliably. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone who is more into the overlooked setups. Me personally, stock has been able to keep up with whatever I have thrown at it after 30 days and still getting 25+hrs on one charge.
[EVO Shift 4G General] bearsblack:
I currently have it governed at 245 max screen off. Running 1.2ghz max interactive with no task killers or batt savers. Batt life seems to be somewhat better but temps still creep past 105. Thanks a lot for the info
[EVO Shift 4G General] JAREDR:
alittle off of the beaten path, but i tried runing 245/1801 interactive on evervolv and noticed alot of random reboots. set it back at on demand and am having good luck with that. why is everyone leaning towards interactive??
[EVO Shift 4G General] Anonamoose:
Excuse me if I am wrong it's early and im too lazy to reread up on it but I believe the difference is with on demand there is a slight delay(second or two) and it gradually kicks up to where it needs to be where is interactive is a spike the second you need it...
[EVO Shift 4G General] ahager88:
Interactive is, usually, a lot better for battery life.

If you look at your cpu's scaling history when on the two, TYPICALLY, you'll see a whole lot more time in higher frequencies using ondemand.

That's not to say, however, that with some devices and some kernels they will act the same.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oniyuri:
My hubby's been having an issues on his mobile that I've never seen before.

Issue 1: His phone would randomly go back to sleep upon waking.

Sometimes this happens while we're just waking the phone and sliding the lockscreen. So it's like the phone is asleep, we hit power, slide the lockscreen - phone immediately goes back to sleep.

Issue 2: Call issues.

I'm not sure if this is subject to software or not but sometimes this phone will not ring when receiving calls. The problem is a bit intermittent but it's still quite annoying.

Issue 3: OS slowing down.

Generally, his phone runs fine in terms of speed but at other times, it can be slow as molasses. The sad part is that his phone has the smaller SD card and the least amount of media in between the 2 of us.

I would just root and flash something on it but it is his phone and he isn't really that comfortable with the idea of messing around with the firmware and such. So I guess my question is does anyone have any advice on how to fix these issues?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wayne561:
I'm not sure if this will work but your best bet is to Odin the stock JFD again to see if it fixes anything. Be sure to back up apps & data.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wearmaize:
If the OP doesn't want to mess around with the phone that much, flashing something through Odin is probably more complicated than rooting the phone (takes one click) and trying One Click LagFix (OCLF).

No matter what you do (to the OP) make sure you use Titanium to backup apps and data just in case :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oniyuri:
Well, it isn't my phone to mess with in the first place, otherwise that thing would be on a Bionix-V ROM like mine is. Even today, the stupid phone crashed and he lost his unlock. It was by pure luck I retained the code we got from T-mobile. :(

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
I hunted around in older CM 6.2 ROMs (circa Tazz V20), but was unsuccessful - probably I didn't try hard enough.

I did find a copy here in this AF post.

Seems to work OK on my phone (GSB1.4, light testing). Shows up in the Application Manager as "Camera v 2.1-update1", but the icon in the App drawer looks identical to the 3D Gallery Icon.

Dunno if there is a newer version.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnny quest:
yeah, I like the 2d gallery better. the 3d gallery on the eris really stinks man. Too much lag and it takes forever to load anything. I don't know why these developers keep putting the 3D version instead of the 2D or leave both of them in there so we can choose. Thats why I like the TenzoRCmix rom, it gives you both to choose from.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpd2003:
Unfortunately tho, unless I really just couldn't figure it out, when you use 2d gallery to pick a wallpaper or such it shows every single photo in one folder rather than seperating folders like in 3d.

With like 1,000 photos on my phone that gets reaaaaaaally annoying

You do realize that gorilla glass can be cracked and scratched right? I cracked the screen on my captivate quite easily. Gorilla glass is better than normal glass but not impervious to breakage.

I believe gorilla glass is resistant to scratches however such properties make it easier to shatter. I may be incorrect but that is how I understand it.

Gorilla Glass.

Seems they're using it on all the HTC products with capacative screens. However, I still use a screen protector anyway.

http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/featured-products

Regarding the importance of the brand name 'Gorilla Glass', I wouldn't discount other phones that might use a similar technology but call it a different name. We often refer to a class of products by their brand names (Ketchup, Kleenex, Q-tip, Coke, BandAid) forgetting there are a bunch of very high quality products that perform the same function and in many cases can be even better than the original.
