I've looked at the tech specs of the Nexus One at the google store -Nexus One Phone - Feature overview & Technical specifications
I'm not that geeked up so, I'm wondering if it looks like the Nexus has anything on the Droid?
The 4 gb micro sd seemed pretty underwhelming to me. I know it's expandable to 32 but still...

Last night and met a lady with a android phone. I asked if her android market was working? and the funny thing was on her non SE phone she had no problems downloiding any thing where as on my X10 I cant download a thing from the market, why is that?
Im trying not to be negitive so please forgive me if I sound that way.
When I call SE support line they are not very helpful with anything, It feels like they dont want to help you or they dont know how to help you.
Many times I call SE support only to turn around and call my provider to figure out a problem
Running pete's beauty 8.6, the tech section is not in the news and weather widget...i'm sad! is it there for anyone else?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI WAS eyeing the iphone , but when I found out about Droid , I became very interested , much more than iphone. I completely believe in anything os. I can not buy or commit to anything without a bunch of reviews and , of course full specs. So when waited patiently for the countdown to end , I was hoping for an unveiling with meat. Now I've spent an hour and a half everywhere online, but nothing is really new. Has anyone seen an official spec sheet, final copy? I've seen the one that got posted by mistake last week on verizon , but has either motorola or verizon posted anything official? How about reviews, will they come after the 6th, or sooner?

I didn't see that yesterday when i got the phone. The dust is not visible when you turn the screen on but just knowing is there is bugging me.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI just got my hands on this phone.
Here's my summary:
1) It's really fast. Runs all my games at max framerates.
2) The screen is 16:9 and will probably mess with your layouts and games and stuff.
3) It has a PowerVR SGX530. That's right around iPhone 3GS's GPU speed.
I believe the hardware supports OpenGL ES 2.0 but since Android doesn't, there's no way to use it right now. I did, however, dump all of the GL extensions and put them alongside the G1 and Emulator extension lists into this handy-dandy article - http://www.rbgrn.net/content/345-hands-on-motorola-droid-opengl-es-specs
I am about to get the Droid and the Eris through Verizon (get one free deal), the Eris is for my wife, separate line joint account. My question is we are coming from the iphone where our calenders and contacts and all were always synced up. Will I have a problem doing this with these two phones or would it be easier if they were both Droids or both Eris?
Thanks
From the Motorola site:
POWER up to 360 min / 6 hrs
USAGE TIME (CONTINUOUS)2
BATTERY TYPE
1420 mAh lithium polymer
STANDBY TIME2
up to 325 hrs / 13.5 days
I did away with all the motoblur stuff but I've been having problems with my battery life still.... I've been running a bunch of apps, IMing, emails, wifi etc.... and it's been lasting about 6 hours.
Today I cut everything back using "advanced task manager free" and after about 6 or 7 hours I still only had like 40% left...... no where near anything like the specs.
Six hours continuous talk time? 325 hours standby? Certainly not the way it comes out of the box! Who are they trying to kid? Is anyone getting anything near this? Is there even any way to get close to that? WTF? Does anyone find these specifications deceptive?
My battery might not be the best but it seems to be at least average from what I hear. Please tell me what setting I need to get this kid of battery life!
Some people here have said deep cycling the battery helps but that's supposed to be bad for lipo batteries
Some people also say you need to charge the battery fully before first use or you can ruin it but no other sites mention that.
I want to be able to use gps and apps and wifi and email and IM during the day w/o being tied to a charger all day. I was a dedicated sidekick user but now love the cliq.... except for the battery life.
I thought of getting a spare battery but don't want to lug an extra battery around...... I've seen apps (APNdroid) that shut off the data to conserve battery life but I want to use the features of the phone... that's why I have it....... what's the answer?
Btw: "battery graph" and "spare parts" are great apps to monitor battery usage.
Also, in some places it says the bp6x battery is rated at 1300 mAh and in other is says 1420 mAh but it's the same battery! What's up with that?
Question: What kind of battery life do you experience with "normal" usage? Does anyone know what settings to use to approximate the times noted in the Cliq specifications?
I have the OTA update and have had several issues that through this forum I've tried to correct but it just keeps getting more frustrating every day. I was on vacation and was using it as an alarm only to find that if you don't turn off and on the alarm every day, it won't work (and I had it set to S-S). I miss calls all the time, all over town, going straight to voice mail. The dialer lags all the time (except when I accidentally hit the wrong number, then it works like a champ ). My voice mail programed pin hesitates every time, not like the lighting speed it used to run on 1.5; so much so I'm not sure it will go through sometimes. My email notifications stutter or doubles for the same email. The phone gets very warm when I haven't used it for several hours and within a good cell signal area so I know it shouldn't be working to get a signal.
With all that said, I really liked the phone on 1.5 and would kill to get it back to that but I don't see that as a viable solution.I stopped into one of the local stores and told the guy I wanted my phone to work like it used to.He said I needed to take it to one of the tech support shops and be prepared to leave it for several hours for it to be checked.So here is my question (finally).I want to take it to the shop in case it is a bad handset but I need to clear the phone of sensitive information first.I get all my work emails on my phone, many of them sensitive information, along with web site access to my company's internal system. I need to make sure that all that information is cleared from the phone before I take it in.
I talked with a VZW tech just a few minutes ago.I described her the silent bug problem on 2.1.She said she is a Droid user and her daughter has an Eris.She said she had frequent freezeup on her Droid and now she reccomends to do one reboot every day. She says she had not had a problem since she has been doing this.She made a mark on my file about my complain and recommended to try the once-a-day reboot for a week. If the problem persists, the store will issue a new phone.I will try this reboot thing each night, will see how it goes.I am a bit worried about the exchange they perhaps would give me a refurb, and what is the guarantie that I won't end up with the same problem.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThere are now two dust specs on the left side of the screen; one on top, and one on the bottom. Has anyone else seen this? Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do about this? It seems silly to return the phone and get a new one for something so simple, but if it becomes a large problem, it will not be something I am willing to live with.
View 7 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know if Sprint/BB/RS will get advanced demo units to play with before the 4th? I would love to get my hands on one, the size scares me a bit, I don't want the phone taking up my entire hand when I am talking on it. Plus if I am gonna drop a couple Ben Franklins on something I always like to play with it ahead of time. Plus with this being my first Android experience I would like to make sure I don't mind the interface If not how similar is the incredible, could that give me a good approximation of the EVO size and specs?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just got my refurb of my palm pre and she was excited about the Evo and I said too bad Tampa has no 4g. She said the clearwire techs are working right now but the reason it was not announced is that their are some endangered birds nests in some of the towers preventing them from doing anything until they naturally leave. She said Wimax should be running in Tampa by the end of the summer.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI run a small phpbb3 forum and have been racking my brains and Google for months trying to work something out.All these types of forums can play embedded videos, which usually have the bbcode tags (youtube)video(/youtube) and they play perfectly on a pc and on most new phones that support streaming media.I wanted though, to embed some of these mp3 player widgets to showcase a few playlists. The way I'm doing it at the moment is to put a section of HTML code containing the mp3 player widget directly into a post, which works fine on a pc. On a phone however, all thats visible is the HTML code.
Given that its not the phone, as it plays embedded streaming video from youtube, I'm presuming that theres a vital step that I'm missing somewhere to allow a phone to play an embedded widget containing streaming mp3s.
Apologies in advance for this not being a direct Android question, but if anyone can help,
EVO doubles Hero's processor, internal memory and RAM. I'm wondering how exactly that will translate into daily usage. Mayhaps I should post on the Nexus board since that runs a snapdragon but I'm sure there are people here who have handled both.I'm going to use a few apps I use as an example: Astro File Manager: running the app manager can take 20-30 seconds to fully 'load the packages' to backup/install/uninstall/etc.More Icons Widget: populating the apps list takes 20-30 seconds. aTrackDog: populating the apps list can take 45-60 seconds.
View 5 Replies View RelatedPost from XDA...Can someone that has the phone confirm this?Couple of interesting specs - xda-developers. AT&T has posted a new spec sheet on the Captivate here.Couple of things stood out in contrast to information (speculation?) that has been posted on this forum and elsewhere, so wanted to mention them and see if any of the early purchasers can check and confirm.
Memory
Flash (device) Memory16 GB flash memory
Expandable MemorySupports MicroSD cards with up to 16GB of memory
I point these out since some people have assumed that the base specs of the SGS were carried over to the Captivate (e.g., 802.11n, FLAC support, max 32GB MicroSD cards supported). Has anyone checked these on their phones yet?
what are the minimum specs that a phone need to have to be selected for Jellybean 4.1 upgrade?

View 2 Replies View Relatedwhy is it we have 326 random access memorie ram and why cant find full amount on specs?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have seen this link on other websites and a few people have been claiming a few things listed on it. I just want to get facts straight and correct the preliminary specifications.
For the Moment, it says it has a 360x640 resolution which is wrong. Everything I have read, including Samsung's website shows 320x480.
It says it has an FM radio and I have seen nothing or the sort anywhere. That would be nice if it did, but can't find anything to confirm this.
It says it has a Stereo loudspeaker. I can't find any specifications for this. Can anyone confirm or reject this claim?
I tried out this app: Fpt System Manager v1.1 Application for Android | Tools
And in the RAM area it currently shows me as having 83MB of RAM available out of 192.5MB of RAM. Obviously because of running apps.
What I'd like to know is how much _total_ RAM is _actually_ in my phone. The model I have is supposed to have 288MB of RAM (Rogers HTC Magic).
Is there an app, or is there some other way, to determine the actual specs of your phone, ie. actual total RAM installed?
Ok so this poll will determine which carrier has more issues with service, like towers down, crappy audio service,crappy devices provided through them,and just how many times do you actually end up calling for issues with your phone or carrier service issues? for example...If your att click on att on the poll and then on the thread type in about twice a month or maybe once in 2 to three month,whatever.
