Motorola Droid X :: Potential To Replace The IPod
Jun 24, 2010I'm hoping this would be the first smartphone capabe of replacing my iPod touch permanently.
I've used the Storm and Incredible. Both phones just aren't as good as the iPod.
Some questions about this though...
Is it possible to sync an Android phone with iTunes on a Mac?
Is there an equalizer setting on the phone?
Motorola Droid :: Google Buzz - Potential To Take On Facebook
Feb 10, 2010Anyone think this is cool? I've looked at it a little bit and really like it; it seems to have real potential to take on Facebook. I like that it just locates you, so more more facebook posts saying, "I'm at the mall." Google seems to really have something here.

Dec 12, 2009I have been a verizon wireless customer for 7-8 years, and most recently I have been using a blackberry curve. (My first smartphone) However I haven't been happy with the phone for these reasons:
-Lack of apps
-Very slow
-Poor browser application
I have been looking into the droid ALOT, I just bought my blackberry 3-4 months ago and have already had to return it once (Couldnt get it to recognize any key presses, customer service told me it was a software issue). I am wondering as the droid has just recently came out, is it worth the $360.00 to upgrade? I know with new smartphones there are a ton of potential problems that could be deal breakers, that's why I'm hoping some experienced users can let me know about the main problems with the droid. After reading tons of reviews the only issues I've seen have dealt with the slide out keyboard...but is there anything else, hardware or software wise?

May 8, 2010Plain and simple, I'm sick of waiting around for Sprint to release a version of 2.1, I want the full android experience. That being said after reading through the root manuals and faqs I still am not sure if it can be done easily on a mac. I'm hoping someone might have some insight for me, or possibly an autorooter that is mac friendly.

Nexus : Unable To Use Quick Rooter On Froyo
Jun 6, 2010i started with a stock N1 running unrooted froyo, then i unlocked the bootloader using the command "fastboot-windows oem unlock". i know that it is in fact unlocked because i see the open lock icon when the phone starts up now and i also see the **UNLOCKED** text in the bootloader menu. now I'm trying to use cyanogen's quick rooter (stock kernel) from here: Quick rooter for stock FroYo systems + 2.6.34 kernel - xda-developers. renamed it to update.zip (made sure it's not update.zip.zip), copied it to sdcard and I'm flashing it the same way i did the froyo update from the recovery menu but I'm getting an error saying signature verification failed. why would i still be getting this message after unlocking the bootloader?

This is unclear in everything I read.Don't know when and how the backup process is done, after the Root or before? The backup process is unclear also.Don't know what RA is?

Jun 1, 2010I was wondering about this earlier in the weekend because I know the Nexus One features a broadcom communications chipset that features 802.11n support. Searching did not turn up any specifications on the Evo with regard to its wireless package though... until today. i Fix it just released its teardown of the Evo 4G, ( HTC Evo 4G Teardown - Page 2 - iFixit ) and it turns out that it features the Broadcom BCM4329 chipset -- known to have 802.11n support! I've read that some people believe that wireless-n support for the Nexus One comes with Froyo... maybe this is something else to look forward to when Froyo comes to the Evo.
View 12 Replies View RelatedHTC EVO 4G :: What Potential Downfalls Could The Evo Face
Apr 20, 2010As much as I'm looking forward to the Evo and fully immersed in being brainwashed that it will be the greatest phone ever, at some point you need to be realistic with your expectations.
Here are my concerns:
4G/3G won't be able to seamlessly transition. What I mean by this is that if your 4G signal is weak/non-existant, you'll have to manually make the switch to 3G coverage 4G in general - this will be the first ever 4G phone in the USA, the first 4G phone for Sprint, etc...I think you realistically have to expect there to be some issues with signal quality, coverage, etc.
Battery Life - Maybe not a big issue for me because I usually keep my phones on charges all the time, but it's going to be interesting to see how this plays out. Such a glorious device is going to suck down the battery I'd assume.
Will the processor be underclocked? The Incredible looks like its being handcuffed to 667MHz, which isn't uncommon, but I feel a 1GHz processor should work at 1GHz, or at least not 66% of its capacity. I'm sure it will still be fast, but I digress.
The screen being a TFT LCD could be a potential issue, and that it's only listed as producing 65K colors...which seems like a lot but vastly inferior to an AMOLED. Of course I think I still prefer it over an AMOLED, but that's a personal choice.
Sprint HTC Hero :: Camcorder Potential
Dec 1, 2009I was just wondering if anyone knows what the actual hardware capability of this device's Camcorder actually is, or, in other words, what is the possibility of a software app/firmware upgrade in being able to improve the quality of the Sprint Hero's recorded video? The video examples which I have seen so far on YouTube seem good, but the only thing tugging between my getting an Instinct HD for Christmas, vs. the Sprint Hero, is the video quality difference. So long as a very real potential exists to narrow the gap between the two in regards to this issue, then I will most likely feel confident in springing for the Hero.
View 19 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Potential - Bug In The Implementation Of AppWidgets
Nov 10, 2009We have discovered a potential bug in the implementation of AppWidgets. Here is a simple reproducer.
Attached is the code for an application containing a TestActivity and a TestWidget. TestActivity extends MapActivity and TestWidget is a simple widget provider which updates a TextView every 2 seconds. Now if the TestActivity is launched with no instance of TestWidget running, it works just fine. But if the TestActivity is launched after placing the TestWidget on the home, it results in ClassNotFoundException. Here is what we get:
CODE:.............
So it seems we have an inconsistency in the way the class loader works for the same apk.
WORKS - Launch the application by itself, without invoking the Widget. DOES NOT WORK - Create a Widget on the Home screen and then launch the application from the launcher.
The source code for this application (http://www.yousendit.com/ download/TzY3ZGVhZy96NE4zZUE9PQ) has been attached. Hope someone from the Android team can shed light on this behavior.
This error is seen on the 1.5r3 SDK. Not sure if this has been addressed in 1.6 and 2.0 SDKs..
HTC Hero :: Potential Upgrades To Camcorder
Oct 1, 2009I'm wondering if it is possible for a firmware update to increase the current 15fps video recording. (I believe it's 15fps) Don't get me wrong the quality is watchable, but I'm just wondering if it is potentially possible for the firmwares (or custom) to actually up the framerate a tad?

View 6 Replies View RelatedAndroid : Need Information Concerning A Potential Program Development Class
Oct 27, 2010A local college has decided it wants to start a program in mobile development. They explored Windows 7 mobile and iPhone and it just isn't what they are looking for. Android won the golden ticket, thanks to myself.
They just threw a catch in there for me =). They want me to find the blount of the information!
Would anyone happen to know who I can contact concerning some sort of contract on leasing of development phones for this class? The phones do not necessarily need a service, just a way to test development. The instructors and department leaders have said they would need around 20 devices for a small class. They don't imagine it would be larger than that for a new class.
So can someone point me in the right direction? I know everyone wants to breed more Android developers =P...something to feed our addictions.

This enters you into service menu. decided to check out the service test menu and there's a test option for 'earphone'. when you press it... my my how clear the earpiece can sound - with this kind of loudness and clarity i might have a chance of hearing my phone calls outside of an isolated soundproof room!

Jun 12, 2010I have been with Verizon for about ten years, and I don't really have any intentions of switching. I've had blackberrys for a number of years, and I've simply lost interest in them. My 2yr contract has been up for awhile, and it's about time to replace the old curve. While I attempted to demo an Incredible(local store's model was dead) I was wondering how smoothly the transition from using a BB will be to an android phone like the incredible? How much more capable is the Incredible than my BB? I have friends that have Iphones, but I'm not interested in changing from VW, so that is not an option.

The main points that I like to enjoy is: Droid beat out the phone that beat the iPhone, and the Droid got further in the brackets than any other Android OS phone Some of the progress is due to hardware, some due to following (over the Nexus'), but a lot due to the v2.01 (and now 2.1) version of the Android OS. Also, this poll is open ALL weekend - it does not close until April 5th, so we have tons of time...but then again, so does the Palm Pre. Let's have at 'em!

The keyboard on the Droid has been causing me serious grief because I do not like typing on the virtual keyboards and the physical keyboard is so flat and requires so much pressure to press one of the keys that it cramps my thumb up with any moderate usage. Has anyone heard anything at all about a release date?
