Android : How To Buy Best Droid Phone?
Jun 10, 2010
I'm looking to buy a new phone and given androids recent popularity I've been leaning heavily towards an incredible, nexus one, or maybe the evo. Specs wise these three seem to be close to the top of what you can get for android and I was wondering what the prevailing wisdom is on the absolute best phone/network setup for android. I'm willing to wait a month (or two at the most) if a manufacturer has something ready to launch thats going to match the iphone 4 in specs. The resolution for the new iphone seems insanely good. but I want something I can develop for and buying an overpriced mac AND having to pay a 100 dollar a year developer fee is a deal breaker for me.

I have a Motorola Droid and the latest release of Android (Froyo 2.2).My question is I want to send a music video that is going to a Non-Android phone. This phone can play videos and is a standard Verizon branded phone. The video has already been converted to the standard .3gp format from my PC which uses Roxio 2010 Video converter. I have the following Apps installed to assist me:Astro File Manager (With both extensions installed and latest release)Handcent SMS (No Font Packs Installed).The video itself is almost 4 minutes long and the size of the video is only 9.40MB.

Is there any other way on the X to sync FB's pictures without it syncing the other junk like their phone numbers? I've tried Syncmypix but the quality of the pictures are kinda crappy.

I've had a Moto Droid since around the first or second week of its release. I have my phone rooted and I'm running BuglessBeast V0.5. At the end of November I can renew my contract early and I'll get a new Android based phone. Are there any phones worthy of replacing the Motorola Droid? There's no denying that the Droid had/has the biggest community and developer base but what is the next Droid phone that will be the biggest hit with the community and developers? That's the phone I want to get.

Can I get my Droid video clips off of my phone and onto my PC? I bought a SanDisk card reader usb port, put my SD card in it and plugged it into my PC. It doesn't show the video clips or "camera" pictures. I'd like to get some of this stuff off my phone and onto my PC.

I'm trying to figure out the difference between a Droid phone and a phone with Android.I have the Droid Eris, which i love.My sister just got the Motorola Devour, which if I'm not mistaken is not a Droid.My sister asked me to help her figure out how to work it and i was going to tell her she cant do all the cool things I can with a Droid... and that's when she told me it had Aldroid(not sure which version yet)So what's the difference?CAn it do the same things? Download apps from the MArket?I have great apps on my Eris like Swype keyboard (which i didn't get from the market), HAndcent for texting, among others.Can she get all those same things?If so, what makes a phone a Droid? Or is it just a name?

I am going to try taking my eris in to get it exchanged because of the silent phone problem. I am on leak 3. I have some questions first though.
- Will I even be able to have a legitimate complaint if I am on a leaked version?
- Will a new eris come with 2.1 or 1.5?
- if the new eris has 2.1 what are the chances of this happening again?
I cant stand having to reboot to use my phone as a phone.

Is there any way to get the stock Android Messaging app on the Eris? I hate the HTC messaging app; it's so slow and leggy. I also hate Handcent and Chomp. Is there any way I could get the stock Android SMS app? Or does this require rooting or what?

Does anyone know of an app to improve contact searching in the Phone app? I would love a BlackBerry-like interface where the phone opens and you can just start typing a contact name (on dialpad) (or any contact data to select and narrow a contact search? Instead you have to perform an actual search or scroll - what a pain! If nothing exists - who's willing to build it?

I read around and I saw that people do not like it when "uneducated" people call their android powered device a droid.

I have wanted a smart phone for a while now. I originally leaned towards an iPhone, but I don't like the fact that you have to have a Mac to develop for it. This lead me to download the Android SDK and begin messing around.
I do want to get an Android phone soon, so I can really test my code on the actual device (and just to have a smart phone =P).
I'm looking for a balance between value and power/functionality/features. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. What are your experiences? What do you use? Would you suggest what you use? If not, what would you suggest?

I've got another question regarding to basic Android programming:
How can I access the GPS for getting the current Position of the mobile phone the app is running on? How long can this take to retrieve the information?
In this case the GPS might be disabled, how can I enable/disable it again.
Which permissions must be granted in the android manifest?

I have a weird question. I know its not the idea of AppMarkets, but is it somehow possible to get rid of the android market on a Android Phone. Customer wants to provide its own market, so that customers who buys their own sold phone (a new HTC with Customners Branding and User-Interface). They have several Apps to provide and will publish them via an App on this Phone initially installed.

How big is the motorola android's screen, in pixels? I want to know what size I need to make my graphic without it being too disorted by the fill_parent.
EDIT: I don't think you guys understood this... I know android is the operating system.
Let me explain:
If phone A was 400 by 300 pixels, hypothetically, and phone B was 450 by 350 pixels, I would know to make the graphic at least 400 by 300 pixels without the graphic being as stretched as if it were 300 by 200 pixels. Perhaps a better question would be, how big is the smallest droid's screen?

I love Android, but I can only hope HTC makes a similar phone for Verizon.
This screen and interface look incredible. Snapdragon CPU. Too bad you are stuck with WinMo apps.
