Just wanted to let folks know I put my Incredible under an inspection scope today and confirmed the PenTile matrix layout is present on the AMOLED screen, similar to the Nexus One. Not a big surprise since it's probably the same stock screen acquired from Samsung, but I thought I'd let everyone know for certain. If you're not familiar with the PenTile matrix arrangement:I'll try to get some real high mag pictures, but it's basically as shown in the first link.Picture of the Incredible's AMOLED screen under high mag.

I wonder if they are interchangeable? I am rather nervous to randomly plug it in and to my computer as I am, by NO means, technically savy.
Is there a setting on the HTC EVO so when i send a sms or mms it has been confirmed read or a free app that would provide that function?
all i have setup is in the task bar Message sent successfully.
I was hoping to start a thread to ask users about bluetooth keyboards that they've confirmed to use with their Android phone --- Particularly, I can't find any info regarding the DROID Eris --- But it'd be nice to see what options are around in general.Is anyone successfully using a bluetooth (or USB?!) keyboard with their phone?Impressions?

Why are some books on Amazon not compatible with its own app on Android!Anyone know how to get the book onto my N1 so that I can read it on the way to work?

Looks like there is a limited choice for UK Android owners like myself so mileage may vary on what's available
I haven't seen any comments on the new Kindle app specifically regarding the Droid. I downloaded it a few days ago and it is great.
IMO the Kindle app is the best ebook reader - great selection of titles, easy to purchase, good prices and just a top notch app. It also automatically synchs with all of my other Kindle compatible devices.
But what really stands out in this app, over other ebook readers on the Droid is the fact that the developers found a way to lower the screen brightness - lower than I've seen with any other app - so you can read in a dark room (in bed) without staring at a bright screen. Plus, just in case that contrast isn't low enough, the developers added a sepia background, under "View Options." This makes the background an off-white.
I highly recommend this app as the best ebook reader for the Droid.
I want to use Kindle for my Feedbooks but have run into a problem. Before I actually bought anything from Amazon, I was able to use the Kindle app with my Feedbooks as the folder "kindle" was on my sd card and that's where I stored my Feedbooks. (I had to do a workaround and download the books to my pc and then transfer them to the kindle folder on the sd card because I couldn't download the files directly to my phone -- but it worked).
When I bought my first book from Amazon, however, it caused the Kindle app to force close every time I tried to open it. I called Amazon and they told me to delete the "kindle" folder on the sd card but they didn't tell me how to be able to use the Kindle app to read my feedbooks.
Amazon Kindle on my phone stopped getting book samples. I have three samples already but I can't get any more. The Amazon website says sample being sent to device, but when I go check the Kindle app, it never gets there. I deregistered, installed, etc. It won't sync new samples.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have created a book that each page is a JPG picture (believe me, this is how the book is intended to be). This book is intended to be read in landscape.
This will be a kindle book, intended to be read on all kindle platorms (kindle 1, kindle 2, iphone, ipad, mac, windows and android). I don't have a kindle yet, but I have kindle app for iPhone and mac.
I have prepared the HTML structure to be used.
My question is: the images were created to be seen in landscape, and all images were saved in this format (I mean, the largest size is the horizontal).
If I create an HTML for kindle and all images are saved that way, the images will be scaled down, so they fit on the horizontal size of the device screen, right?
As this was the way this book was created for iPhone and iPad, I suppose that at least on Android users will have the option to turn the device sideways and the image will expand to fill the screen. But what about Kindle 1 and 2?
If I rotate the images 90 degrees CCW, kindle 1 and 2 will see the image at the maximum dimension possible but when the android user rotates the device, the image will rotate and the user will not be able to see it correctly.
I just got off the phone with Tmobile since my visual voicemail wasnt setup, and took the time to ask if they have any word on an update to their android line up. He said he just received an email today from up top that yes Tmobile is working with Google to provide an update to the Cliq, Behold II, and myTouch(Not sure if I heard G1 or not).So the fact that the reps have gotten word of it makes me feel alot better about this. And his understanding was the Cliq would be first but the rest to follow not long after that.
View 24 Replies View RelatedI currently have a Hero (Sprint). I have some money and am trying to decide whether I want to buy an Evo off Craigslist (I'm not eligible for upgrade until October--I'll just sell my upgrade then for ~$200) and sell my Hero, or if I want to buy an iPad and sell my Kindle.
I was hoping to get some feedback here from people who own an iPad and could be a little more objective on how they use it than the Apple Fanboys out there.
Cost wise the Evo would be a little less -- I could probably buy the Evo for around $350-$400 and sell the Hero for around $100-$150, whereas the iPad would run me about $530 and I could sell my Kindle for $200. It's fairly negligible difference though.
I don't live in an area that has 4g or will in the foreseeable future. I do a lot of web-browsing on my Hero and spend around ~30 minutes a day reading RSS feeds (NewsRob). I read a lot of news sites and blogs throughout the day (outside of RSS feeds) on my laptop. I don't really use my Kindle as much as I thought I would -- I've read a few books, but I'm not an avid reader. I spend 80% of my reading time on news.
I very much miss my BB Tour's camera flash. I don't carry a regular camera and miss being able to take low light pictures (not looking for anything spectacular -- just the ability to take group pictures of friends and such).
I've played with the iPad and it is fun, and I could see browsing and reading news articles been very comfortable and more enjoyable, especially on the couch or something where I don't have a table. Some of the games are pretty fun (Plants vs Zombies!!!). I don't get eye strain from staring at an LCD screen.
The problem with the iPad is I'm just not sure when I'd use it over the Evo and my Kindle/Laptop. It's large enough that I can't carry it without a backpack, and then at that point I might as well carry my Laptop and/or Kindle with me. I'd also have to decide when to buy apps for the iPad vs the Hero.
The official notes for today's update have been released. Engadget reports "still don't have confirmation on whether improvements to WiFi performance means 802.11n." Some one with an 802.11n only router try to connect.

Are all the books supplied quick reads? Is this the same on the Kindle reader? If this is the case I won't be buying one, I want the full version of the books!

- clicked applications
- hit maps
- left start point alone (Anaheim)
- end point: Bakersfield, ca
- hit go
- hit navigate
navigation was on point from start to finish except through the grapevine area (mountains). When it did pick back up it took about 30-45 seconds cause I on some signal other than 3G, E or wifi. Looks as if it was only a G. Anyway....got home turned it off and started reverse directions. Gave me directions and found my location with 7 seconds. So maybe it's not all GPS's. Or maybe I got lucky cause every time I used google maps at Disneyland it found my location fast.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just came from my local Best Buy where I tried to social-engineer myself a Droid. I brought the Best Buy sku 9553501 and Motorola number A855 with me. The VERY helpful employee looked up the sku and it came up "Not avail at location". He realized it was the Droid and verified his belief by pulling out some accessories (Droid protective cover) marked A855. He told me that this Best Buy wasn't scheduled to have the Droid yet, and proceeded to tell me all about his hacked and rooted phone, how he ran Hero on some WinMo device. He told me that "IF" that Best Buy was going to be able to sell the phone, it won't be until November 9th. He also mentioned that Best Buy is having a training with Verizon on November 2nd. Next attempt will be at the Verizon business store.
