Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 :: Is Phone Solid Hardware Wise / With Build Quality?
Aug 7, 2010I am in between phones right now, and no longer have a N1 and am looking to replace it with another Android phone without switching carriers from AT&T.They currently have the HTC Aria(I have no interest in), the Samsung Captivate(Galaxy S), and will soon be getting the X10.This phone has been out for some time in EU/Asia and Canada for a bit, and I am fairly familiar with it. It seems the bad points are no multi-touch ever, Android 1.6 with a who knows for sure on Android 2.x, but the rest seems fairly solid. Most of the reviews are from when it first came out, and generally complain about the GUI being slow.My questions are basically:
1. Is the phone solid hardware wise, with build quality etc? I know it's mostly plastic, but does it feel cheap, hold up well?
2. Has Android 1.6 caused you any problems app wise? I'm fairly certain google navigation works on 1.6, which is a deal breaker for me if it doesn't.
3. How is the GUI, do you enjoy it? I can't stand Samsung's TouchWiz, Moto Blur, and prefer stock Android, but don't mind HTC Sense.
4. I keep reading something about the screen doesn't have all it's colors activated or something? Others say it is amazing. Curious if it is the Super LCD Sony is selling HTC to replace AMOLED.
I know the Galaxy S has a better CPU, GPU(Android isn't much for gaming anyways), more ram, Super AMOLED, blah, blah but their software is terrible and I don't like their form factor.
HTC EVO 4G :: Build Quality Of Kickstand
May 31, 2010Is it just me? or the kickstand in the video looks pretty roughed up? Because the material on the kick stand is easily scratched? I can't imagine this guy (Phil Nickinson) has had the phone for long, wonder how he manged to do that.

Jun 10, 2010Light leak around front casing, dust issues. The build quality sucks, I have dust under the glass in the upper left corner. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that HTC can't place a priority on build quality. I traded my Hero with dust for an Evo with dust. Oh the joy. It's really no surprise, if light escapes from the sides, why wouldn't dust enter through the same area.
Before you reply with 'I don't have dust,' make sure you examine very very closely, with a very bright light to be sure. I was the first on this forum to call attention to the Hero's dust issue, and was greatly flamed for it at first, too. The phone's haven't even been out a week, so this issues will not be very noticeable yet (as with the Hero) but will become accepted as fact soon enough.

Jul 14, 2010I am planning on importing HTC's next phone to come to Europe (HTC Ace?) and I am a little worried about HTC's build quality on a lot of their phones. The nexus one has this issue where dust gets under the screen, the EVO has a problem with light leaking out the bottom, and I've read about the Incredible feels very plasticy. I've seen many threads where people complain about HTC's quality assurance too and this makes me a little nervous because if I am planning on shipping from abroad, I don't want to have to return it if something goes wrong and be forced to wait weeks to months for a replacement. What do u think of HTC's build quality on their phones? Is it that much worse than Moto and Apple's?
View 10 Replies View RelatedHTC Desire :: Build Quality - Need To Put On Silicone Shield
Jul 5, 2010This is a question to all the longer term users of the phone. I've had several phones before, all new and shiny in the beginning but before too long their facade starts to come off. Finishing, body, etc. How good is the desire in this respect?
- How many nicks have you got on yours? Does it get scratched easily? I mean the touchscreen as well as the body.
- Does the body colour come off easily?
- Are there any parts of the phone where dust accumulates?
- Does the battery cover show signs of becoming loose?
- Do the volume rocker keys become loose?
Can the phone take a couple of falls? I've been handling my Desire like my own baby but it's only a matter of time before it slips from my hands I feel. Also I simply love the look of the phone, and don't want to put on a silicone or a body shield but if it's really necessary I shall.
HTC EVO 4G :: Build Quality Plasticky And Glass Feels Flimsy?
May 14, 2010Anyone read impressions regarding build quality? I have the Incredible now and I'm thinking about the Evo and Sprint. One thing that I dislike about the Incredible is the build quality. It is not bad build quality at all but it is a little more plasticky than I would like. The glass also feels very flimsy. Are they using Gorilla Glass on the Evo?

Apr 30, 2010Dose anyone have any thoughts about the build quality of this phone? I love the specs of this phone, but I am worried that it will fell to much plastic? More than the iphone 3g/s? It's nice that this phone is so light, but I personal think that that can contribute to a poor build quality. Every time I play with the HTC desire, I always is amassed how solid it feels.

The build quality is very good and is something I would look for in a phone anyway. Here is the link

HTC Desire :: Build / Call / Camera Flash / Sound Quality?
Nov 9, 2010How is the Build Quality? Call Quality? I had problems with the N1 and low Call Quality. Camera/Flash Quality? How is it with 2.2? Very Fast? You think it will get above 2.3? (even by custom roms?)Music/Sound Quality? Loudness? You can change the LED light? Like on the X10 and N1 (trackball) to red, blue, purple, green, blue etc? If you have used the N1, which do you like better? And why?

View 4 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Set Solid Background To Spawned Activity
Sep 9, 2010I'm not very familiar with the android SDK yet. I have an application (game), which is developed mainly using the NDK, and uses egl to render. i have an activity which handles the egl swapbuffer and runs the games native main loop, pretty straight forward I guess.
Now I have made another activity which host a TableLayout containing an EditText as well as a button (simply for text-input later used by the game). I spawn this activity from my main activity using startActivityForResult. The small problem I'm having now is that I can't manage to make this "popup" activity to have a background, so my paused game will reside in the background, with the various widgets just overlaid. This is not very pretty in my opinion, and I would like to at least have a solid background color for my spawned activity while it's active. I *could* just simply go into some state in the games main loop which clears the gl-screen just before I spawn the new activity. But I don't like this solution and it's a tad more work then I'm prepared to put in just at this time in the project. I'm pretty sure there is some simple way to just set a background color somehow, I just can't find *any* way to do it, I've looked around in the SDK resources and tried to search for any hints towards this, but i'm just not familiar enough with the java SDK to find what i'm looking for.
On a side note I would also like to be able to center the EditText widget as well as the button on the screen once the Activity is active, I haven't looked very deeply into it yet, but from a quick glance of the documentation I couldn't really find any suitable positioning methods in the tablelayout class. But as I said, haven't looked very hard. Can probably solve that one easy, but i'm just throwing this in as well :)
Android :: Solid RSS Feed Reader & Widget
Aug 28, 2010I simply can't find a solid RSS feed reader and widget (mostly the widget).I've tried NewsRoom, NewsRob, BlueRSS, DoggCatcher etc, and they all
1) are missing a widget,
2) are ugly,
3) are missing some basic functionality.
Can everyone please share what RSS feed reader app and widget they use?Preferably one that can sync with Google Reader but not necessarily,just an extra. I'm more interested in the widget, also.

Jun 24, 2010I downloaded the Android 2.2 source code and try to build it. When I executed the make command, I got an error here like this build/core/java.mk:20: *** frameworks/ex/common: Invalid LOCAL_SDK_VERSION '8' Choices are: current 4 5 6 7. Stop. Then I changed the frameworks/ex/common/Android.mk to LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 8 from LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 7. Next place, build/core/java.mk:20: *** external/jsr305: Invalid LOCAL_SDK_VERSION '8' Choices are: current 4 5 6 7. Stop. I changed the external/jsr305/Android.mk to LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 8 from LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 7
Last one, build/core/java.mk:20: *** external/guava: Invalid LOCAL_SDK_VERSION '8' Choices are: current 4 5 6 7. Stop. I changed the external/guava/Android.mk to LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 8 from LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 7
By these changes the code started the compilation.
1. Why the error occured?
2. Changes which I did is correct or not?
