[LG Optimus 2x] jastonas:
Where did you pay that much?!!

I guess from all I've heard above, i 'll stick to what I am afraid also the most. That the screen is too small compared to the size of the phone. To much space is taken up by keys :(

As about plasticky.. I guess it's something you can get used to. I had a Desire and when I held a SGS i thought.. how silly that phone would be. It made me think it was crap. I said all that without knowing it was probably the best android phone (maybe still is...).
[LG Optimus 2x] MeX_DK:
Well that price is sadly what the LG 2x costs here in Denmark when you get it without a contract :P
[LG Optimus 2x] Nuri58:
Has anyone managed to get Excange Server to work?

I get it to work the first ½ hour (mail appears quickly, but calender and contacts takes quite some time to load).

Now the issues:

- After about ½ hour it cannot sync anymore unless removing and reinstalling Exchange Server. What is the trick?

- I do not get to understand why all my contacts disapear if I remove Exchange Server. Any way to have them saved?

- I cannot edit my appointments, only add alarms. Perhaps another calender program?

- Can the different calenders (google, outlook and LG PC sync) be merged

Phone just hard reset and only Exchange Server activated. Without the Exchange Server I do not want to keep the phone. At the same time it works fine on my Wildfire (from where I comy the settings) and on my Touch Diamond.

This has nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with this topic!
[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
Havent been living behind a stone,

By N1 I assume you mean the Nexus one - and I owned the Nexus one for 2 months before I switched to the HTC Desire, so Im well aware of how the N1 is build - and the LG are build atleast as good or better than both the N1 and my Desire.

As to camera, Im not sure what phone you actually did have for that whole long day - mine records in 1080p at solid 24fps with no particular sidepanning stutter, and my pictures are neither especially grey nor lacking in vibrance

Samples: Pictures rezised to 1024x768 for web purpose, but otherwise unaltered.

https://picasaweb.google.com/101969018129397476923

I agree the Experia Arc takes better pictures, but thats allways been a speciality of SE (and Nokia) and I didnt get the LG for its Camera.

:)
[LG Optimus 2x] Triage1:
What do you store on your extern Harddisks? :O
[LG Optimus 2x] olavjunior:
Well, the N1 has a metal frame that has taken many falls on my phone. It's still as robust as ever - a year after.

Your photos are indeed good, I guess outside is ok. Inside it was more or less a game of luck in my experience.

The stuttering is indeed present in 1080 (I don't have any clips at hand that I can share). But that said - that doesn't mean that the galaxy will be better at this. I'm aware it's just a phone...
[LG Optimus 2x] jastonas:
From gsmarena

SGSII

Video	Yes, 1080p@30fps

LG2X

Video	Yes, 1080p@24fps

So I guess the SGSII will have a better camera
[LG Optimus 2x] Gilg@mesh:
hehe I dont even bother recording at 1080p, it takes a lot of space and I dont think that it looks so much better than 720p, 720p is fine for me
[LG Optimus 2x] jastonas:
Besides the pixels, the 1080p@30fps show the superiority and the capabilites of the galaxy camera. I guess it will have better image quality as well - even when comparing 720p videos.

You cannot say I dont care about the video when you pay a large sum of money. It's a feature of the phone you pay so you should care :P
[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
So does my Desire and my LG Optimus 2x

The only thing plastic are the batterycover that you can remove.

That does not make a phone "plasticy" - it makes it practical.

The rubbery plastic cover on the back are less prone to break than for instanse the glass on the back of my Iphone, its more comfortable to hold, and its also very cheap to replace with a new one when you want to sell the phone second hand and want it looking fresh.

No, that is not evidence of a better camera at all

videorecording are not really handled by the camera itself, but by the chipset

The cameramodule mostly just supplies the optics needed, but its the chipset used in the phone which (together with camera driver and software) are responsible for the actual recording and the quality of this.

The SGSII use either the same Tegra2 chipset or Samsungs own dualcore chipset depending on which region the mobile are manufactured for. The abilities of video recording for these chipsets are exactly equal to that of the LG - no matter if Samsung advertise 1080p@30fps and LG only advertise 1080p24fps. This is just a settings question in the software used for recording. Doesnt mean the quality will be any better, or any worse.

For the Samsung to be better, it would firstly need a better cameramodule with better optics, we dont know yet if it will have that or not. Secondly it would need a better optimised cameradriver/software responsible for the picture processing - we dont know if it will have that either.

So any claims of better/worse or poor/good camera between these phones are just purely guesswork.
[LG Optimus 2x] jastonas:
It actually was just guesswork...
[LG Optimus 2x] Nuri58:
I should add that must be in an expensive shop as I paid 480 €. However VAT is 25% so it will normally be more expensive. The SG2 is announced for 620 € with release early May. Giving my troubles with Exchange Server I may opt for that, however it seems Samsung is also troubled by early version bugs. Any views on that?

Also I should wonder what processor is best (given the graphics touch in Nvidia) and what battery will work longest (given the Oled's lesser consumption but higher processor speed).
[LG Optimus 2x] jonjon68:
I can't speak to LG but I did have both a us vibrant and euro galaxy s. Samsung mobile is an abomination as a mobile software company. They shipped their flagship phone with a BROKEN GPS then really never fixed it completely but took months to even acknowledge it. They shipped with 2.1 and reamined there throughout 6 months or so of 2.2 releases to other phones. One word, and a curse word, Odin. I have a nexus s and ONLY because I knew it was going to be a Google experience device but I'm ready to throw this thing in the ocean too.

Buy a Samsung phone. I dare ya. Buy some Xanax and a boxing heavy bag when you do though. You will either want to sleep and forget what a pos your phone is, or punch someone until the expire. Namely Samsung developers. Horrible horrible smartphone company.

I know nothing about LG but in know their phones are better than samsungs. Because there is no way they can't be.
[LG Optimus 2x] ceroglu:
Very well said my friend! At least international SGS owners had some sort of update, they especially ignored the US versions. Their lack of support has turned me down big time, for that reason I will go with anything that is not a Samsung.
[LG Optimus 2x] freakonaleash:
i had galaxy s,i like this phone but unfortunately, although the updates have some lag

now i decided to change and i bought lg2x.

It's really fast and very easy to mod....and my experience with ubuntu tells me that nvidia and linux is the winning combination.
[LG Optimus 2x] dondavis007:
I presume that the exchange server talked about is the exchange client in the lg 2x?

When N1 and Desire is the same hardware and ref design with a few modifications, why change? Sense?
[Android Apps and Games] Jacoby:
I used to use LaucherPro, but today I switch to Go LaucherPro.:D

Its interface is much more beautiful. Also, it has some other amazing features: gestures, re-sizable widgets, customizable docks and home screens. However, what I like most is the custom app drawer. I like setting my own drawer background. :D
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Cool Story Bro

Where do I get this Go LauncherPro from? I couldnt find it in the market. Is there a .apk to download? Is this app free?
[Android Apps and Games] titans10:
Id like to know where to find it as well. I love Launcher Pro but I want to give something else a spin. I wasnt feelin ADW...
[Android Apps and Games] cjward23:
Do you mean Go Launcher EX

Here is the thread GO Launcher EX
[Android Apps and Games] nofes:

[Android Apps and Games] Jacoby:
Hi, it is Go Laucher EX... I forgot the Ex...:o
[Android Apps and Games] Jacoby:
Wow, I'm gonna go and have a peak at the thread!
[Android Apps and Games] doomed151:
Somehow LauncherPro felt more properly / professionally written.

Using the Plus version right now, when I tried other launchers (ADW.Launcher, Zeam Launcher, GO Launcher EX), I kept getting back to LauncherPro.
[Android Apps and Games] balex3000:
I prefer LauncherPro Plus for the homescreen design abilities:

* up-to 10x10 screen size

* resizable widgets

* option to overlap widgets (put a widget over other widget)
[Android Apps and Games] BogdanSNB:
yes louncher pro plus is great!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] brcisna:
Hello All,

Have an HTC Touch Pro -CDMA- that i recently installed XDAndroid 2.2.1 -04 on. I have searched here but not really found a good resolve for my question,FYI. How do I go about disabling the cell radio of the phone to conserve battery life?

I am ONLY using the phone for wifi- web browsing,Google Maps for navigating while motorcycling,and email.

Thanks,

Barry
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tnpapadakos:
if youre rooted, and you have root explorer try renaming phone.apk and telephony.apk to phone.apk.bak and telephony.apk.bak, then reboot

see if that works

if not, just rename em back to normal, if it does work, when you want to turn radio back on, just rename em back to normal and reboot
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sitlet:
Airplane Mode.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stukindaguy:
sitlet, if brcisna uses Airplane Mode, then WiFi cannot be used either.

One possible option is to install another country's baseband software so that it simply cannot connect to any networks. Make sure the baseband software works with your phone (I use GSM, not CDMA, so not 100% sure if this works) and flash via OpenRecovery.

While this doesn't turn off the radio completely, you will still save battery as it won't find any networks in your area.

If I am wrong about this, anybody may feel free to correct me as I'm not completely up on how CDMA phones work with respect to the cell radio
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tnpapadakos:
thats actually pretty clever

its kinda amazing that there's not a "radio on/radio off" option on any of the roms out there

if a phone has a sim card, of course, you could always just pull that out, wifi still works without a sim card as long as build.prop doesnt demand a sim card be inserted
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] I<3Android:
If you enable airplane mode first, then turn your wifi back on your good to go.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tnpapadakos:
nice! never thought of that
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ToyTank:
Nice I am doing this with my Droid incredible. On stock/sense ROM I could not turn wifi/bluetooth back on while in airplane mode but good old Cyanogenmod lets me!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BeratE:
After some hunting, I have finally found a pretty easy way to do what I wanted. I wanted to use WiFi and bluetooth with the cell radio off and airplane mode would not allow bluetooth to work.

Answer: *#*#4636#*#* -> Phone Information -> Turn Off Radio

Now if only someone could add a toggle in the standard drop down to one touch this...

Hello All,

Does anyone have suggestions for a good sip/voip app for XDAndroid?

I use SipGo under WinMO and works perfect on my HTC Touch -CDMA- phone.

I have an asterisk server setup at home that uses Google Voice as the trunk,FYI.

I have tried Fring,that has no provisions for entering an server address. Sipdroid hanged bad. The closest I have come is CSimpleSip,,,but only works on my lan. Will NOT work outside of lan. As though it is not able to traverse nat,possibly? This same scenario happens when trying to use the native sip client under WinMo. Will work on lan but not out on the internet:(

Thank You,

Barry
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yguns76:
Sipdroid works great for me. I tried CSimpleSip but it killed my battery. Check the Android Market for more Sip Clients, but those two were the best IMO.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kesio:
I tried the Oxygen v2.0-RC7 rom a few days ago. Has been working relatively well with some minor bugs (like not being able to move icons without them dissapoearing). But yesterday something really odd happened and got me kinda worried.

I turned the sound off on the phone via the lockscreen, then locked the phone in my locker when i worked out. The battery was at about 80% at the time. When i came back about two hours later my phone was _REALLY_ hot and the battery was totally drained and the phone dead (ofc).

Anyone else experienced this? New user here so can't post in the official thread for the rom. What got me worried was that the phone was getting extremely hot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdavey:
There is nothing wrong with the ROM as far as battery drain is concerned. I have been running RC7 since release and with my current configuration get almost 3 days of battery usage before I need to re-charge.

I would suggest that it is more likely to be a rogue application that is constantly running in the background eating the battery.

If the phone was getting hot, I would suggest that an application is hammering the CPU (such as navigation) which would drain the battery pretty fast.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kesio:
Odd thing is, I had the phone in my pocket for maybe 3 hours prior to this incident. Then it was at about 80% (remember because I checked when i turned off the sound). Then only thing I did was turn off the sound via the lockscreen. Didn't even unlock the phone at all. Then this happened.

Seems really strange. But it has only happened this once, and it is a homebuilt rom so I don't really expect everything to be perfect. Just that I've had the phone run hot before, just not this hot.

Was actually worried it had broke before i got home and put the charger in :P It was completely dead. Couldn't even start to boot up that you sometimes can do when the phone has died and then rested for a few mins.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superliam:
could be a faulty handset, i had issues with my phone running out of battery pretty fast and after a warrenty replacement seems to have sorted it.

phone shouldnt be over heating...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timt1961:
Wasn't a metal locker, by any chance ? A metal locker would function as a faraday cage, meaning your phone would get at best a very weak signal, and would be using maximum power to try and communicate with the base station. Would explain why the phone was hot, too.
[HTC Incredible S] g00s3y:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/15/htc-refreshes-android-lineup-with-incredible-s-desire-s-and-wil/

I just wish the resolution was a bit higher, but i'm not going to complain. Really weird that it will be shipping with Android 2.2 (in Q2 of this year???) Also no mention of it being a 4G phone. And the biggest bummer, it doesn't say anything about it coming stateside :(

How about you guys, thoughts on the Incredible S?
[HTC Incredible S] sanamkan:
Ah, you got to it before me. Anyway, the rotating capacitive buttons mean a rotating Rosie, so maybe we can finally see a Sense 2.5 build for the Incredible that's almost native, right? That being said, the picture clearly shows that there isn't an optical trackpad anymore, but I don't think anyone will really miss it.
[HTC Incredible S] TNS201:
To be honest its sad to see HTC's lineup. I honestly don't care about dual core, but I don't think they made any of their new phones dual core. Most of them were just barely updated from what they were the previous year. I really like HTC phones, but I think they need to step up their game to keep up with Moto, LG, Samsung, and any others. Their tablet doesn't even have honeycomb.
[HTC Incredible S] sanamkan:
The recent announcements are hardly their full line up, but exactly what you said, updates of last year, as well as a few low to mid end "gimmick" devices (Facebook button, anyone?). Those are all intended to be global phones. Don't worry, I think we can still expect flagship phones like the Thunderbolt, Inspire 4G, and the much more recently rumored Revolver.(The latter two may be AT&T, don't remember). At least, I hope we can.
[HTC Incredible S] HTC Touch Freak:
We can't expect any of these phones state side anytime soon. It's usually 6-12months before we see any phones that are "NEW".

That has slowly been changing though with carriers state side getting their own designed phones to compete with each other. I'm curious to see if T-mobile will get anything SUPER AWESOME like Sprint and Verizon have been getting. T-Mobiles line of MyTouch phones don't appeal to me design wise and Sense is the only way to go.

The Incredible S specs have Europe/Asia - HSPA: 900/AWS/2100 MHz and that should mean the with AWS it will work with Tmobiles 3G stateside. Looks like I'll be buying unlocked again if that's true. The Incredible S and the Flyer are the only 2 devices that list AWS in the Bands. So I hope it's true.
[HTC Incredible S] xHausx:
The tablet isn't shipping with honeycomb but they are planning on updating to it soon afterward. Same with the incredible s except with ice cream instead of honeycomb.
[HTC Incredible S] mortuus82:
This phone i dont really understand, its like a smaller version of desire hd, same crap lcd screen etc.. no dual core.. whats the point HTC are u loosing it .... :confused:
[HTC Incredible S] itsmefu:
This phone was a little disappointing to me, maybe I had my hopes set to high though.
[HTC Incredible S] [hfm]:
At least tmo is getting something slighty better than the mt4g, it looks better and has better display. Good interim while we wait for a dual-core qHD device.
[HTC Incredible S] SoCalSpecialist:
in regards to this..u say 6-12 months for the device to release..but if that was the case why would they already be pushing it on the HTC website? and in the UK as of this weekend? http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/htc-incredible-s-uk-release-date-announced-931161

honestly i dont think itll be that long. We're already in March so to speak, so im thinking maybe early April to the end of April, no later.

[HTC Incredible S] Surethom:
Yes please can you upload some sample pictures & video. Cheers. :D
[HTC Incredible S] HTC Touch Freak:
I say that because that is usually the case. The US always gets phones later then the rest of the world. This is changing somewhat. It used to be a year+ before we saw phones. Our phone tech was always behind that of the world and still is. Look at the HD2. It came out in August/Sept of 09 around the world and when a US carrier got it it was like March/April of 2010. At least the gap is closing and the US now has some phones that the world doesn't but we still miss out on most products and still have to wait for others to reach our shores. Unless you but unlocked of course.;)
[HTC Incredible S] Jazd71:
Some are saying that the specs are disapointing for the Incredible S how ever once you use it and compare against the Desire you should be impressed, I am and have both; the Inc S is far superior to the Desire IMHO.

Hi Guys,

I have a question about incredible s internal space. before i had desire hd and its shows 1.07 GB without installing any apps. and it was 1.5GB. now i bought incredible s it also shows 1.06GB internal space without installing any personal apps. and its is 1.1GB by htc. so what is the difference whether its stock rom is small one or it has same 1.5 GB like desire hd.:eek:

how is the screen on the incredible s compared to the desire and the desire hd. i have a desire amoled but i purchased a hd and was not impressed with the colours ,it looked washed out.

if it matches the slcd of the 1st desire after they changed from amoled i would be happy to take the plunge.
[HTC Incredible S] bitpatrol:
Quick note, as I'm on my way out, initial impressions ... VERY NICE ... I can't see anything wrong with it, the cover of the battery is great, holds comfortably, colors and images look great to me (but I can't compare and I'm no expert :D ) ... I'll give more info later.
[HTC Incredible S] bitpatrol:
Another quick note as I'm getting used to Android again, been working with Blackberry phones and nokias for the past year, before that I had a HTC Hero for a while and an iPhone 3GS that broke pretty fast on me.

The Incredible S is fast, doesn't lag a bit, the screen is very bright and doesn't show any washing out or anything in that category. I still need to install some basic software, only installed springpad for now. I already typed quite some messages, the keyboard is very responsive, I remember with my hero this was sometimes an issue, but that was a while ago as I mentioned.

Tomorrow I will maybe have some more interesting things to tell, if anybody has some questions I'm happy to try and answer them.

I was trying to do the post 911 rogers root on my htc phone, i got to the point where I Amon_ra's 1.7 recovery booted but then the home button wouldn't respone which is weird as it was used to boot into recovery.

after this I researched a bit and found that an eailer version of Amon_ra's recovery used the "Send" key instead of home, flashed that on and booted into it however it still asked me for "Home" to comfirm.

I then downloaded clockworks recovery and flashed it onto my phone but now the phone is stuck(waited 3 hours) at the ROGERS boot screen. I can boot into fastboot and my computer sees it as:

"list of device
