Thanks for checking it out guys. Videos were a tad rushed..and I'm excited!

Then do it! And tell us stuff

Congrats. Let us know what you think.

Phone looks beautiful. So far I'm a little let down by the hinge. It seems it isn't sprint loaded, and just does its own thing. If you hold it upside down , it detaches. I hope it is just a defect in my, else this will be very annoying.

Has anybody confirmed led notification lights on the device? Can you confirm or deny if nobody else has?

Duh! You need to open it and post lots of info.

Can you confirm if it's quad-band GSM and dual-band UMTS? Thanks!

I can confirm the silver around the trackpad*** IS A NOTIFICATION LED. Currently only seeing WHITE for a text. Will post a ghetto pic

We need an unboxing video from you

Try installing Gmail Notifier and testing out different colours with the trackpad light setting http://www.appbrain.com/app/gmail-notifier/com.jonasl.gmailnotifier2
It would be sweet if the notification light was RGB

Editing first post to include video!

Darn, oh well, it's still a neat surprise.

Not that I'm immediately aware of. I'll look into it though.

Wow, really impressed with those scores. Appreciate you taking the time to upload vids for us and answer our questions btw! Some people dont realize that you arent obligated in any way to do that for us..but I for one thank you for your time.
...I guess being a phone geek like us, you know how it feels. We need our info !
That being said, how does the keyboard feel? I heard it isnt as raised as some like. Is it easy to press keys still? I like being able to touch type. I used to be so good at it I could stare my teacher/friend/date in the face and theyd never know that I was secretly text messaging like crazy. Never had any typos either

Oh I know the feeling.
They keyboard is ... Good. I sold my N1 for an Epic, and the epic has a nice 5 row-er.
The keyboard on the G2 has a "rough"ish texture to it. However it has beautiful tactile feedback and is enjoyable for sure.

Apologies for the duplicate post but could you tell us about the GSM/UMTS bands the g2 supports? I've been reading conflicting reports on it.

Port HTC HD Stock tab to Diamond

Hi,
Can someone port the STock tab to Diamond? Is it possible?
Doesn't this belong under "Diamond ROM Development"? Good idea, though, although I don't think it's possible... yet anyway
If someone creates a similar tab in functionality, then it belongs here, not in ROM development.
sounds good, hope someone can do it
Sounds good, but if you're from US, you're going to just an arrow going down, like this:

So just put that image as a tab, and you're all set...

Port HD stock tab to Diamond
This is not the place to discuss stock market ....
So can someone port stock tab to Diamond? or is there any resource to link to this request?
It would be a great thing to view my portfolio on this thing without having to log into E*Trade in Opera.
And to add to the stock discussion...stocks are just on sale right now...so calm down!

Seriously, what are you talking about? You obviously have no clue in history, especially, in this case, what the Great Depression (which originated in the USA) did to Europe.
There's nothing wrong with stating the obvious truth. If I made you uncomfortable because you choose to close your eyes instead of seeing the truth, well that's your problem.
This is not a forum for political comments.
BUT since you people started, it is AT LEAST lame to believe that US is what balances the planet. US can very well be what distracts the balance from time to time.

Yes, Hitler rose to power ONLY because of the Depression...
Of course he didn't. Massive oversimplification. It may have helped, but certainly wasn't the only, or probably even the main reason.
Also, yes the US has a massive bearing on the world at the moment, but China and Japan have grown in power massively recently, and with the world not in a state of post-War rebuilding, the situation is totally different.
I too would like a stock tab by the way.
OK everyone settle down. Let's focus. We all want this stock tab.
Currently, I'm writing my own local html files with links to http://stockcharts.com/avantgo/ charts.
I have been using this work-around for almost three years now and I'm really quite sick of it. I myself am willing to contribute monetarily towards porting this stock tab.
Is there no slight possibility HTC will bring it to the Diamond and Raphael in a subsequent ROM release?
sure there is
I expect the sliding dialer too

Use the front-facing camera much?
So I'm in the USA, and I see a Galaxy S-like device called the captivate coming to AT&T...
I see the AT&T version has no flash and no front-facing camera. Does anyone use the front-facing camera much? If so, what for? Self pics/mirror or actual video conversations?
Any other differences between the Galaxy S (as on Samsung's web-site) and the Captivate?
Thanks,
Manos
Depends on your situation whether you'll be using the front-facing camera for video chats or whatnot. I personally wouldn't use the front camera for much since not many people I know have front facing cameras, too and I don't really care for it.
The only difference we can see so far is a different phone design, missing front camera, and apparently the AT&T version gets a gyroscope/six-axis motion sensor aimed at gaming. The AT&T version is also a 16gb base handset but you can add a microSD card for a maximum of 32gb.
Overall, I'm looking forward to the AT&T version although I'm bummed they scrapped the front-facing camera because of principle (Competition is too close for iPhone).
What power widget is that in the center?
ooh..no led notifications??
i was expecting the little strip above the word samsung to have leds??
Actually the phone has 384000 tiny LEDs. Do you want more?
Now seriously: Since AMOLEDs only consume energy when used, it would be great if the screen (in standby) could show some small visual notification. Are you listening Samsung?

Colored trackball!

I am running 2.2 FRF91 on my N1 and I just noticed that the Facebook app caused my trackball light to turn blue... Woot!!! They finally did it.
Or else I'm just crazy...
Or else you havn't read enough on the the FroYo changes.
You seriously just posted this thread?
*facepalm*
Man, go get LED Tester. Think you'll really go bonkers with it.
Twidroid has been doing this for about a month on mine. I wish the apps gave more control over it though.
On a side note: Twidroid (now Twidroyd) would flash BLUE quickly. If I got a new email, I would get ONE (1) single flash showing I have a new email, then it would be all back to quick blue flashes. It did not continue to show me I had an email... which to me is much more important than knowing I have unread tweets. However, since it's changed to Twidroyd, the EULA is quite ominous and I don't agree to having them intercept and have rights over my tweets. Granted they may not be significant, but they are my own and I don't want a 3rd party getting into it. So I've switched to the official Twitter app. It's not bad. I'll know more in a week.
Handcent sms apps gives you blue trackball. Yahoo Messenger gives purple color. FYI
u seriously just noticed this? *facepalm* its one of the first things i noticed. as soon as i flashed the rom for the first time i got a text and i saw the trackball blinking and i was like OMG!!!
Sigh!

While most people know this, we did not think that stock 2.2 would include trackball colors. I was pretty shocked when I got my first blue facebook notification. I was able to download LED testers and play with the colors but unable to save them to specific apps.
You'd think it would have some settings if they where planning on including the feature. Eventually it will come I guess.

Uh, yeah we did. The code was committed by google before Froyo even came out. It was pretty apparent it was coming

Samsung Galaxy S III Renders

Hi! I'm proud to present you some of my renders of the next Samsung Galaxy S III. This is how I imagine it, so don't get too excited: this is not how it will look like. Anyway, here are the renders, one black and another white.

This models have been modeled in C4D. I hope you like them!
Honestly, I don't want to be too harsh or anything but.. it just look like a cheap chinese Mp3 player of any kind I mean..
And by the way why physical + software home buttons wtf ?
But I thanked you anyway !
It shows the level of expectation for the phone. Such hype was reserved only for Apple products. Samsung must have done something right.
Well done, but I would have loved less bezel and the home button looks too much iPhone-ish.

Well, C4D isn't the best program to design in. I've moved on 3DS Max. About the home buttons: the homescreen picture is just an ICS picture i've downloaded on the internet.

[SOLVED]Very minor bug only on 4.4.2 Kitkat

Not sure if this has been covered before, but there is a bug that only happens in 4.4.2.
The Problem​Finger is somewhere else, notification bar is somewhere else.
Normally, while you drag your notification bar down, it will follow your finger where-ever you go.
However, after reproducing the problem, this malfunctions.​
Reproduce​1. Drag the notification bar half-way down.
2. Put another finger in bottom part of the screen where the notification bar is not dragged on
3. Release the first finger
4. You have successfully reproduced the bug​
Warning​
This will NOT work with the S-Pen.​
Haha. You're missing one thing: evidence it's supposed to function the way you want it to. Say, comments from the designer explaining how it's meant to function. A 'bug' without that evidence would need to cause an odd or obviously incorrect result.
Haha for real ?
You kidding?
U call this a bug?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk
If this isn't a bug, then why is this NOT HAPPENING on earlier versions?
Look people, you haven't understood what I said.
Even if my finger was next to the home button, directly above it, the bottom of the notification bar would directly below the front camera.
This is what I mean:

We're not morons; we understood you just fine, in fact, being the logical people we are, we're suspicious you are a troll.
Why is it different? Because it changed. Why is it not a bug, see post 2.

If you think this isn't a bug, then okay, end of discussion.
I didn't say you called us morons; you assumed we hadn't understood, but you explained it quite clearly the first time round so, yes, we'd have to be morons to misunderstand.
