*lol spelling mistake in title*

I'm bailing on Android after 2 years and two devices. I'll just go ahead and get the canned responses out of the way:

"K GTFO"

"ur an idiot anroid is open source so customizable"

"nice first post, moron"

The carrier/OS fragmentation is tearing Android apart. While most of you look at the open source platform and see good things, I see a disaster. Phones are full of bloat, locked out of core functionality (Atrix, anyone?) and relying on manufacturers for updates is slowing the progress of Android.

As a Vibrant owner, I am accustomed to some flaws - chiefly a working, but slow GPS. But when my phone constantly fails to send text messages or fills my call log with calls I did not make, I start to wonder. That's just this device - how about the Nexus One's that were sending texts to random contacts? I just think Google might have bitten off more than they were ready for. I often feel like they tried to jam so much into the OS that they forgot to keep user interface in check.

Don't get me wrong, I see a TREMENDOUS potential for Android in the future. The sheer number of activations is staggering. The platform will easily be the dominate OS, no doubt. In two years, I'll revisit Android.

For the time being I'm going back to *gasp* a Blackberry *gasp*

Im sorry Android isn't working out for you.. I personally love my Evo, and wouldnt trade it for any other phone (right now at least).

some people enjoy the open source functions, and utilize the capabilities to its fullest, while others just call it bloat-ware (which it is full of...in stock form), and being locked out of core functionality ( what more can a blackberry do, even in stock form????)

i'm not hating on your post, or your opinion, Blackberrys are fun devices (before coming into the world of Android I owned about 5 crackberries) and im sure if you dont use your android device to its fullest, then a blackberry will be perfect for you :)

I feel the same way. Eventually I will get phone with any OS but Android.
[Off-topic] themeltingclock:
I'm as nerdy as anyone here and can certainly hold my own when it comes to fully utilizing my phone.

But phone is the key word there. I need a phone I can throw in my pocket, answer a message quickly and be back to life. A quick glance at a Blackberry tells me all I need to know. A quick glance at my Vibrant tells me the screen is off. Poor choice in phone model? Maybe.

The only things I will miss about Android are my phones amazing 4" Display, Google Navigation and WiFi tethering. That, to me, says a lot.

Interesting thoughts

I myself like phones that I can customize into something that I need. What I mean by this is with Android I can make my home screen tell me all I need. I went out and tried different phones and found that android based phones seemed to have the most customization options out there. I like the others but for me and this is only me android seems to fit me for what I need to have on my home screen. I like to see many things too. Like calendar, email, weather, SMS and a couple of other quick links to seldom used items. Other phones like Blackberry or Iphone work nice but I am often stuck by what they feel is right. I myself just like to have things my way I guess.

Ever tried using a HTC?

:)
[Off-topic] themeltingclock:
Yep. Had a MyTouch when they came out. The core functionality of the phone was pretty good, albeit a bit slow. I commend HTC/T-Mobile for updating such an old phone to Froyo.

What it boils down to for me is that despite Android being a much larger, more supported platform, it just isn't intuitive. Having to install a different rom every week to see if I can squeeze out a FULL day of use or get my GPS working just isn't fun anymore.

To me, Android has become exactly what a lot of people complained about the iPhone - a toy. The novelty (at least for me) has worn off and I'm back at square one wondering why I feel the need to own such a device. Aside from browse the web and play games, what can Android do that a Blackberry can't? I don't need to play Angry Birds or watch Youtube in HD - I have other devices to handle that. What I want to do is bang out messages and answer phone calls efficiently.

This was never intended as a thread to bash Android or XDA/Developers. I've noticed an enormous difference between stock 2.2 and some of the ROMs out there for the Vibrant. It was simply my observations on some (IMHO) big shortcomings in the platform that haven't been fully addressed.
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
Well, good luck on your endeavours, even though I think that HTC can solve your problems... maybe you could give the newer HTCs a shot, but hey, who am I to force you?
[Off-topic] Oniyuri:
I think that you can still get your messages and calls out on android efficiently or at least I've managed to but it didn't take too much on my behalf; in the whole time that I've had my phone, I've only flashed 2 ROMs and my phone can pull about 48-51 hrs per charge with moderate use.

Nah, After a week with the X10 Mini and Android1.6 I put the phone back in the box, bought me a Symbian SE Vivaz...

First after breaking the Vivaz phone in anger (A hellish day at work, a hot summer day) I had to overcome the (for me) steep learning curve that Android have.

Today after more than nine months with X10 Mini and Android (now 2.1) I think it's on of best phones I ever have owned/used.

Still thinking that Android is not fully developed, can't think that 2.3 and 2.4 is the finished Android.

Had plans to get me a bigger screen with better battery time Android phone (Think almost all phones have that compared to the X10 Mini :cool: )

But I am not so sure now and feeling like the novelty of Android is lost.

Absolutely no Winphone, IOS or Symbian for me... Leaving dumbphones and WebOS as well as some Real GNU Linux phoneOS:es
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
@OP: If you still have your myTouch, go back to it and flash BiffMod 2.1 FroYo.

Its excellent and runs lovely.

I don't have any problems with texts and calls.

Everything works! Try it then, if you still don't like it, go to BlackBerry.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] washpota:
Can somebody recommend me a fast booting Android build that can be booted via MAGLDR. Something like 30 seconds if possible. Android version doesn't matter. Currently all the builds I tried so far takes more than a minute.

Thanks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] roloracer:
You need to be more specific, SD or nand?, an SD build thru MGLDR is gonna take a bit to load, and a nand build/rom doesn't take very long, you can add hot reboot to either type of android SD or nand, and it will cut down the amount it takes to boot by only resetting the software without restarting the phone. How often do you restart your phone that this is a concern to you?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] washpota:
Thanks for the reply. I want to boot from SD via MAGLDR. Currently I am dual booting to WP7 and Android using MAGLDR. So, often I have to switch between these OSs. WP7 boots up and shuts down quite fast, understandably because it is from the ROM. I am OK with a lean Android build, as I do not use a lot of apps or play games.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] roloracer:
Then I suggest going with an AOSP non sense rom if you want to go light.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] washpota:

====================================================================================

- Superrams are supposed to be very fast, but in my phone it gets an abysmal quadrant score

- Market crashes in MCCM GB HC, so could not compute the quadrant score.

- I like the American Android build for it's high resolution look, but it is one of the slowest to boot up.

- Markinux Extraclean seems to excel both in boot up time and quadrant score. So I am going to have this as my primary Android.

- Well, Copen's AmericanAndroid will stay in the card. Maybe, I'll use it once in a while.

Any more recommendations are welcome. I am happy to test drive more ROMS.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] washpota:
Edited build.prop and changed the LCD density in the Markinux build. So the only gripe I had with Markinuxis gone. Boot up times and Quadrant scores remain largely unchanged.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Richy99:
why are quadrant scores important?

That shows the performance quality of the phone with each rom, the better the score ,the better the performance in rom.
[HTC Aria General] ilive12:
Does the liberated Aria Froyo Series (FR008), have the ability for live wallpapers? I was gonna flash CM7 for flash 10, but learned it wasnt supported. Im still thinking about flashing the liberated though, especially if it includes features like live wallpapers, and installing 3rd party apps. (oh and removing at&t built in apps). So would this rom support those three things, and if it didnt by default would there be a way to make them work?

Thanks!

Yes, FR008 supports all 3 of your requests.

I would say cyanogen has almost complete monopoly on aria roms, it is certainly a standard! The only thing cm doesn't have that Some people like is "HTC SENSE." Just a bunch of crap widgets in my opinion, and I believe if you have 3g, cm7 displays the newer "H" or "3g.5"

At least try cyanogen, you certainly shall be impressed.

Hey,

Just got my atrix today after huge fiasco with att stores. Anyway, so far i love it this thing is blazing fast compared to my captivate and the gps works =).

My one gripe is the camera quality, everything looks washed out almost like there is a film on the camera lense that can't be removed. The same thing applies to when i recieve an mms picture. The quality looks so bad that it's hard to even tell what it is sometimes

Anyone have any workarounds or tips on taking photos?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitrog7:
Yeah, noticed the same thing, especially coming from an iPhone 4, the photo AND video quality on the Atrix look washed out and grainy. Hopefully it would be a software fix.

The only solution so far is just to take photos in the 5MP resolution. the 3MP and Widescreen (which is like 3.?) are horrible.

I was messing around with the settings on my Epic's camera and noticed the "Firmware Check" option, so naturally I tapped it and it took me to a screen with two options: "Check Version by Network" and "Firmware Update". Selecting the later choice told me to check the version, and upon doing so it then told me update my firmware. Both times I was prompted with "It will occur additional fee. Will you continue?"... gotta love those translations. Unfortunately, attempting to update the firmware ends up with an error of "Service unavailable(4002)", though it does try to load http://samsungapps.com, which is seemingly unavailable to the US, I imagine that it works only for the international Galaxy S.
