[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iekansh:
guys I very much confused. I've been doing every pint of research i could but yet not able to decide. Should i buy galaxy sl or desire? I am just confused because desire is old, 3.7 inch screen costs 3k more in india and galaxy sl has 4.0 screen, touch wiz(i like it), galaxy s used to lag so this might also have that issue and the biggest -ve point is the gpu though i am not a mobile hardcore gamer. So guys pls help me out. Plus will galaxy sl attain the amount of attention desire got from the devs?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darrie1:
Go for the galaxy s or wait a little time and buy a dual-core phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iekansh:
i hope you read that i am talking about galaxy sl not galaxy s! I am tired of waiting. All i can wait for now is this month, that's it. Still dual core phones will be uber costly..

Is there a plug I can use to put into my radio so i can play my music thru the tv
[Vibrant Accessories] shreddintyres:
depends on the inputs you have on your radio. most radios have RCA inputs. You can purchase a 3.5mm to RCA cable at your local electronics store, shouldnt cost too much.

something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...074&cm_re=3.5mm_to_rca-_-82-123-074-_-Product
[Vibrant Accessories] oka1:
This will work, but the clean amplification of the sound is dependent on the TV design. But it will work
[Nook Color Accessories] xxiworld:
Loving my rooted (stock 1.01) nook color, but I am afraid to touch it sometimes! It is a great unit, but it feels a bit lightweight and I read at least one thread on here saying that it breaks easily when dropped.

I'm looking at the otterbox for shock protection, but a) that isn't out yet and b) I really prefer the look of some of the B&N book-style covers.

My question is, do the B&N covers provide adequate shock protection? And if not, are there other covers that do? I've been searching amazon etc and saw a couple of book-like hard cases, but they were apparently designed for the original nook and bizarely require you to attach the nook color with stick-on velcro strips that don't actually stick to the rubberized nook color back surface.

So I'm undecided. I want a handsome (though non-leather) fold-over book-like cover, but I also want something that will absorb the impact of droping the thing on a hard floor.

Have others found a solution to this dillema?

Thanks. That is good to hear.
[Nook Color Accessories] Cstanner17:
I bought this case: http://gifts.barnesandnoble.com/Vasco-Cover/e/9781616837259/?cds2Pid=35616

for 50 bucks. and i absolutely love it. I bought one of those "open flap" type of cases, and it just wasn't doing it for me. Always flipped open on it's own because i fold the case around the back when i use it.

But the soft leather on my new one folds back perfectly. It also has these nice magnets that hold it together, as well as inside pockets that also have magnets.

All in all, i love this case and it has protected my NC greatly so far.
[Nook Color Accessories] PJE66:
I use the Lautner cover from B&N: http://gifts.barnesandnoble.com/Lautner-Book-Cover-Night/e/9781616865146/?itm=15

I've dropped my NC a couple of times without any damage to the NC. the corners of the cover have some give and reduce the shock on the device. Once the NC came unclipped, but was not damaged.
[Atrix 4G General] plmiller0905:
All these hater threads being posted about "I'm returning the Atrix" , "The Atrix Screen is horrible" and "The Atrix doesn't do this..." I decided to show this device some love. We all know it's an electronic device/phone first and sometimes things are broken or just not working right...I get that! However, let's not let the VERY FEW bad things out weigh the MANY GOOD things about the Atrix. Let's enjoy our new toy and give props when props is due.

So I wanted to start this thread for people like myself to post reasons why you bought the Atrix, what you like about it and why you might decide to keep it past your 3o day return period.

I'll go first:

What I like about the Atrix is the sleekness of it. The light weight feel in the hand. and The snappiness of it. One of the reasons I think I may keep the Atrix past my 30 day period is because I feel that if Motorola does allow the bootloader to be unlocked the devs will make this phone one of the most powerful devices out if used to the best of it's ability. And if they don't release the bootloader, I'll still be happy with it and still keep it.
[Atrix 4G General] Xarinn:
I like that I don't have to have a charger at my desk, car, home desk, couch, night stand, etc. the battery life is great for me.

I like that the screen practically fills the face. I like the resolution and crispness.

I love the form factor. I like how it fits in my hand, the placement of the fingerprint sensor works perfect for me.I like that it's light but doesn't feel cheap or fragile.

I like that it's not tied to a pc like my iphone.

I love how fast it is, I have no issues with lag or un responsiveness.

I love that it isn't an iphone. I like iphones..I love my atrix
[Atrix 4G General] Squadfer:
Ill join in.

I love the weight of this phone, its not heavy like most other phones. Its more like what you expect it to be like.

The phone fits your hand VERY well. The finger print reader is positioned so that if you cradle the phone correctly, your index finger is resting on the finger print reader a good portion of the time.

I have yet to have any problems of this phone slowing down.

The battery life is AMAZING! Now I might not be the uber smartphone user that has the phone in front of his/her face 24/7 (driving/walking down halls running into people) but I still use this phone a lot and it easily lasts a full day on 1 charge.

The screen is perfect, everyone saying that the screen sucks need to wait till software comes out that utilizes this resolution. A good 90% of the stuff on the market right now was not made for the resolution on this phone. Also the real estate of this screen is amazing. They utilized all the screen space they could on this phone.

I will also be keeping this phone past the 30 day return period since I feel that the phone flat out works right out of the box. Yea a custom rom would be cool but this phone does everything I need it to do and more without breaking a sweat.

+1 for the Atrix :)
[Atrix 4G General] waltah!:
I really love the battery life. I got home from work tonight at 6:30 and still had 50% and I used it a ton today.

Speed. Silly speed for days. I've not seen any of the lag I hear about and it never locks up on me.

Games are insanely good, especially Tegrazone approved games. Samurai 2 and Dungeon Defenders is sick.

I dig the size and weight. It doesn't feel like a brick in my pocket.

Love the fingerprint reader as unlock.

The screen is fantastic and realistic.

Camcorder has taken some really great videos for me. I recorded almost an entire live concert with it from the send row and it looks and sounds fantastic. I recorded from the car dock to test it and at 45mph the video was crisp and didnt' stutter.

The car dock owns.

This one even surprises me: I don't hate blur. Yes, I said it.

I like the blur widget options along with the standard Android widgets. I find that with the power of the phone that blur doesn't offer any slow down. I wouldn't like it with a 528mhz processor, but it screams on the Atrix so I'm good with it.
[Atrix 4G General] acPIZZA:
Wow, it is nice to see a thread in which people want to say positive things!

Just to add to what everyone has already said (I'm a big fan).

I already love the device. If the bootloader is ever unlocked... holy 'smokes'... it will just be like another christmas - in the middle of the year.
[Atrix 4G General] The Bishop:
no dropped calls

better signal (probably helps the no dropped calls stat too)

much better battery life

good hi def screen

great speaker

fast as hell
[Atrix 4G General] acPIZZA:
I like having alerts, ringtones, and battery life as proficient as blackberrys.
[Atrix 4G General] plmiller0905:
I know right....I got tired of seeing all these negative threads about people returning the phone, they expected certain features that's not here so they're gonna return the phone etc. It was getting crazy.
[Atrix 4G General] ronnyzilker:
I love how i dont have to root it to to get rid of the lag isues tht other phones have.
[Atrix 4G General] pemican:
This is my first smart phone, so I have no prior experience to compare my Atrix experience to. Because of my lack of experience with such devices, I know I am not taxing it, putting it through the rigorous paces that others do, or even utilizing much of its potential. But I like it, and I'm pleased with it.

It is very light, easy to pocket, and it fits my hands well. Sheathed in the Body Glove Mirage TPU case, it is secure in my grasp.

It has a great screen. Even small text in web pages is crisp and readable.

I love having an internet browser with me all the time. I used it today in my garden to look up information on soil preparation.

Texting on this phone is a dream. It has a great virtual keyboard. The screen is wonderfully sensitive to a quick and light touch, which makes typing very fast and accurate.

The phone is fast and delightfully responsive. There is virtually no latency when accessing menus and apps.

The battery life is excellent. I can use it all day without running it down completely. Recharging overnight is all that's needed.
[Atrix 4G General] panflute:
LOVE my Atrix

FAST, absolutely no lag, 1 gig of RAM, great quality construction, GREAT screen despite what others think (just look at a hi res video), a pleasure to play with!!
[Atrix 4G General] mr. haison:
The phone is great out of the box compared to how the Captivate was. This phone is a smartphone on steroids. Plenty of power, RAM, and internal storage for applications for daily use. The fingerprint lockscreen is pretty nifty. 4in is the perfect size in my opinion and the phone is nice and loud.

The drawbacks are the screen isn't as good as SAMOLED, Motoblur is kind of a bummer, and white notification bar is annoying. I am really nitpicking but there isn't too much to complain about the phone.
[Atrix 4G General] G1-8701:
ok honestly, i just got mine yesterday and didn't see any of the complaints that people are making about it that would make somebody wanna return it, either u got a defective device or u just complain entirely too much(easy fix, return it for another one that works duh). they talking about speed test this and that compared to the iphone/inspire/evo/etc. but no phone is perfect and honestly this phone is better then all of them. Yea it's running motorola Blur, but motorola blur isn't bad at all, the phone that made it look bad was that weak backflip that had sooooo many bugs, i kno cause my sis has it. Another thing, people are complaining about the bootloader, the devs are currently working hard to crack it, and very soon will from looking at their thread. Just wait til this thing is rooted, it's gonna shock a lot of people that returned it for these future phones that come out, so please(not everybody) stop complaining so much and making people seem like this phone is horrible just because u don't like it and it's not 2 seconds faster then your ROOTED device or inspire, u may just have a defective device......

sorri about the rant but after playing with this phone for a day it kinda frustrated me seeing people giving up on this phone soooo quickly, but i like everything about the phone nothing has disappointed me yet
[Atrix 4G General] Vangelis13:
Coming from a (stock) Nexus One that was the best phone I EVER used, this phone is:

- sexier

- faster

- lasting longer

- much nicer to watch videos on

- impossible to fill up with apps (!!!)

It is in general an awesome phone! Sure, glitches here & there, however nothing that will not be fixed in an imminent update.
[Atrix 4G General] KaLiBLeeK:
+1; I understand Motorola has a history of locking down their phones, and the Xoom is a different device entirely...but the fact they're giving that the option of a lockable/unlockable bootloader gives me some hope.

It took some time for the Captivate development to take off, but once people were able to utilize i9000 ROMs/kernels, there were a ton of ROM/kernel options, and almost all of those piggybacked i9000 development from people outside of the United States. So I'm planning on sticking with this phone for a while, unless the Atrix part of the XDA forums here becomes a desolate wasteland and the phone gets abandoned. As somebody mentioned in another thread, once this phone comes out on different carriers in different countries, there should be a lot more people plugging away on the development side.

That said, I love the hardware portions of this phone; it feels solid, the battery cover looks nice, the camera is fantastic, the GPS works great, the screen is solid (if not spectacular, yet), I missed having a flash on my camera and LED notifications, and even with the Motoblur bloat still there...it's snappy.
[Atrix 4G General] oFUNGUSo:
battery life, battery life, battery life. and did i mention battery life?

over 40 hours on my last charge. im pressed.

i was thinking about returning due to locked bootloader......but the fact of the matter is, i can still do far more customization to this phone with a locked bootloader than i could on a jailbroken iphone (what i came from). i loved the roms/kernels for the captivate that i had for 3 weeks, but even with that phone supercustomized and overclocked, it still didnt perform as well as the atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] VeNuMuS:
I like when chicks see me with this badass phone. I usually get laid. This phone is a chick magnet.
[Atrix 4G General] plmiller0905:
Funny as hell...lmao...Good Post! :p:p:p
[Atrix 4G General] MattZ71:
I'd like to second everyones opinions about the phone. Coming from a iphone 3g ill never go back. I believe when froyo catches up with better apps to support the atrix's dual cores's and att finally upgrades there cell towers' and the phone has only been out for a little more then 2 weeks I'm sure the devs here need more time to play around with the phone. As I'm not rooting yet ill wait for the gingerbread update and att to upgrade there cell towers before I start rooting. But anyway back to subject I am very pleased with the phone as I agree with all comments that members have posted about the positive things.

Ps. I am pleased to live beside a att cell tower mainantance worker and he has said that middle-eastern southern U.S. towers will be updated to the LTE network no later than this years 2nd quarter and he also made a comment about att working with verizon getting everything going?? But he couldn't provided any hard prof.

Now my fingers hurt thanks swype.
[Atrix 4G General] ennx:
First of all, I've never used a phone that some people didn't hate. The Atrix is the best Android phone. It beats the Nexus S and it beats the oversized, overhyped Desire HD. It beats all the plastic Samsungs. The form factor is perfect. The weight and balance are perfect. The screen is excellent. Call quality is excellent. I like it. I write about smartphones and I use them all. This beats all Androids as far as I'm concerned. And like all Androids, it isn't a boring iPhone, and let's face it that is a boring device.

Hi all!

Any chance for a hungarian language Android ROM for the HTC Touch Cruise?

I've tried one of the cooked ROMs, I'm not sure which was it, it contains hungarian language in the 'language settings' section, but it doesn't matter if I changed it, it stays the same English.

Thanks!

I'm not really into ROM developing, but as the stock ROM has all the languages including hungarian, I don't think it would be difficult to leave these languages in the custom ROMs.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Gang, now having all three popular major smartphone systems has allowed me to sample the gaming offerings they provide. It looks like WP7 provides the most fun and best games of all of them....simplistic and casual and high quality type games. There's a larger amount of more enjoyable games on WP7 than on iOS or Android.

I'm not a biased person and love all smartphone systems equally so please keep the rants and misunderstandings out . And am merely reporting what I'm experiencing. I'm driven to WP7 for the gaming enjoyment and spend more time playing games on it.

The current games I like and find very enjoyable for passing time are...

not in ranked order

:

ilomilo

Tiki Towers (I know, it's also on other systems)

iBlast Moki

Need for Speed: Undercover

Fruit Ninja (I know, it's also on other systems)

Bubble Town 2

Tower Bloxx New York

I Dig It

Parachute Panic

Jigsaw Guru

Rise of Glory

Chicks'n'Vixens

Sketch Defence

Word Hunt

Word Tangle

Peg Jump

Frog Log

Solitaire (Offscreen Technologies version)

One game that seems interesting, but I don't understand, is

Pocket God

. If anyone knows how to play it; what the objective is, let me know.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Agreed... Pocket God is a strange one though... I mean it really plays out like just a bunch of ways to kill your little minions with a ton of mini--games involved. Really just a game for those who love achievements.
[Windows Phone 7 General] slighmd:
Casual maybe, but personally i disagree. some devices/platforms have the same game with more features. Take fruit ninja for example, it has multiplayer on another platform.
[Windows Phone 7 General] amtrakcn:
FruitNinja is one of the worst port games... Glitches and missing function.

The List of Great games should not miss The Harvest:D
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
ios has games like Dead Space 2 and Infinity Blade, android has multiplayer and FPS games, WP7 is full of iphone ports or games that are more expensive than other platforms, no real time MP - I dont see how its the superior gaming platform.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Nicely said.
[Windows Phone 7 General] slighmd:
Agree. Aside from the ilomilo (great game btw) and The Harvest (which i couldn't finish due to savegame crashes) most games really are more expensive ports of iOS and Android games. Dunno why xbox cheevos make 0.99c games like pocket god, fruit ninja, etc more expensive. Still, M$ needs to step it up. Currently i'm playing Real Racing 2, Pocket Legends and Dundef (cross platform online multiplayer iOS and android) which imho M$ should get for their platform
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
There are a lot of games I didn't include, which are no doubt excellent. But I didn't include them because I don't play them or find them casually and simplistically fun. There are similar or exact games on other systems, but I included them because they make up the entirety of the offerings that can be had on this system. When Angry Birds comes out for WP7, it also will be included in the "fun" factor of WP7 gaming.

WP7's own unique games are much better than anything comparative found on any other system.
[Windows Phone 7 General] irispen:
Right, MS should put some great gameloft games like gangstar, modern combat, nova, etc.. even my old nexus one has it but i cant play it since the multitouch sucks. Dead space is another example (xperia play will be having it).. im just glad i can play dead space on ipad.. i really love that game! pocket legends is boring IMO.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Ilomilo alone is the definition of what a cellphone game should be. It's something you can play in short or long intervals, it's perfect for a handheld device, the graphics are great, the controls are flawless, I could go on and on but what it comes down to is no other mobile game compares.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
I'd say wp7 has the potential to be the best of the 3, but has a ways to go before that is the case. There are some excellent games, however.
[Windows Phone 7 General] slighmd:
Maybe when the nextgen devices become available, better games (or ports lol) will alsp come out. But until then, my wp7 stays in the box while i play on my iP
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Even a Microsoft fanboy like me can't agree the the OP. WP7 is a joke compared to iOS. Sure it may be a matter of time but as of today calling it the best smartphone gaming platform is being delusional.
[Windows Phone 7 General] slighmd:
Also, by the time great games like Dead Space come out on WP7 (which is also more wishful thinking, and will most likely be another port of the iOS version IF it ever does come) even better games would have already rolled out on iOS and android. Fiinal Fantasy 3, the DS version has already been announced for the iOS, Dungeon Defenders 2nd Wave already demoed for Android. Also, check out Desert Winds for the Android. These alone would make people think twice about gaming on WP7
[Windows Phone 7 General] CSMR:
What is tying down phones is the lack of hardware controls. When the Playstation phone comes on Android it will raise the bar out of sight. Even if there were no new games, just the PS1 emulator, it would dominate any smartphone.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/27/sony-announces-playstation-suite/

And other Android phones will get some of the benefits.

Microsoft can't compete with this, but they can at least reduce the damage if they:

-Launch an XBox phone.

-Produce a standard bluetooth controller that be added to any Windows Phone.

Then they will have to rely on new content, but can they get the necessary market share among gamers?

They are in a tough spot because they are competing against players (Nintendo, Sony) that have experience with portable gaming and existing content that can be used immediately.

Better position than Apple though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I found another one called

Krashlander

. This is the pure, simplistic type, fun that really makes WP7 the best there is for smartphone gaming. Of course, the WP7-only games like ilomilo and others help it be the best, too. Of the 3 major smartphone systems, WP7 happens to be produced by the world's leading gaming company and it already, at this early age, shows.
