Hi all,
First post, but I've been lurking for a bit.
Anyway, I just got my Hero with Sprint about a week ago and am running DamageControl's current ROM. It's a killer phone, but from what I understand the Droid has more processing power. I've got another 3 weeks to give back everything and get free Droids with Verizon.
I know this is a Hero forum, but I wondered if anybody knew of a "benchmarking" resource for all Android phones.....
thanks!
PS You guys are amazing! I can't believe the amount of product that comes out of this board.
as we all know, the hero was obsolete was 6 months before it came out. youll go broke trying to keep up. save up your months with sprint and get the evo when it comes out, you wont regret it ;-)

or wait for the one after that with the 2TB internal storage and stock blowjob app.
whats after that? lol
i like the hero and am willing to stick with it until the evo, and as for whatever comes out after that...i dont know. (android, htc, ect) will eventually release their own iPad, im sure, but i guess its a matter of what YOU want. i got a great plan with sprint (54$ for unlmtd everything) with great coverage (detroit it a major city, its bound to be set up good for the 3G user) and a highly customizable phone to say the least (ill admit i was disappointed when i got the hero, learned of the nexus and all the new upncumins) and am excited to move onto the evo, and can wait patiently.
well, idk about patiently...but ill be waiting...

I was able to see the evo up and running the other day.... WOW. Slim and sleek and very fast... took about a 1/3 or less of the time it took the Hero to open stuff. It was running on 2.1 as well and look really similar to Damages 2.1v5 ROM. This handset is going to really help out Sprint. Only thing the one I saw lacking was they hadn't activated the 4g on it yet.

Yeah, after studying competing prices, I don't know that I could stomach what everybody else is charging. I just don't get how anybody is competing with Sprint at this point!
I'm paying $129 -%15 for two lines, 1500 minutes, web, txt, and mobile-to-mobile. ANYBODY else charges $40-80 a month more!
I guess it's good for us they're so desperate for customers
PS I'm curious as to the price of the EVO. Any guesses?

At least until the next android update (Froyo) is out. I believe Froyo is supposed to support 4G natively
haha, yeah it does. they had it on another phone of theirs in the past (winmo). I wonder what video formats will be supported natively. I hope they add .avi support.

Well my trusty hero which I only had for a a couple of months bit the big one yesterday. I went to the Sprint Store to get another one and all they had in stock for Android was a Moment.
So I guess I won't be around here as much.
This community despite some squabbles is incredible. I've enjoyed and appreciated my time here and the help I got.
The moment isn't a bad phone, I just pretend I'm running DarchDroid.
With a keyboard.

Well we're gonna miss ya for sure! Hope you can deal with the Moment until you get our EVO (providing that is what you're going to next ) I know we'll see you around......
.....Now you should root the moment and port all our goodness to them You'll be a hero......haha.
The Moment was rooted before the official 2.1 was released. They have it easy. An earlier version of the Samsung software updater let you run unsigned tarballs. So you just use that to install a custom recovery and off you go.
btw, great reference for the title. was one of my favorite books WAAYYY before the movie, they did a HORRIBLE job with Zaphod
good luck you going to sdx?
I prefer to pretend that movie never happened.
Either of them.
Going to miss you gunnyman both here and Android central.. be well.

Argh I miss my Hero already. The themes, the ports of different roms. Just don't happen over there in SDX Land. Someone is working on a Sens UI port though. On the upside. Live Wallpapers work perfectly and so does the 3d gallery at the same time.

So wait they just gave you a moment instead, no questions asked? Im gonna try this today as my hero has been acting up and if i get a replacement it would be my 4th phone already. Sprint told me they hardly ever give you a different model phone.
As u all know the evo got their gb ota today. This update also involved an update to the bootloader. Its still locked down. A lot of upset people on the evo forums over this. Also the gb update looked just like froyo. Very few graphical changes. Hope our update is better.

Netflix doesn't work right now but wifi does. What happened was a developer uploaded the stock kernel but was playing with it a little and forget he took out some lib files so some people flashed a bad kernel. I updated my wife's phone with a rooted stock rom and her wifi works perfectly. Good going HTC

The EVO's bootloader is unlocked lmao, that's why they have S-OFF. It's not encrypted or anything.
Speaking of which...this ROM was 3 months in the making. HTC just made the announcement.
Don't try to take down HTC and Sprint this way when you have no evidence.

That's impressions. We all have opinions on things. But the bootloader is not locked by far. There is not encryption or anything. Sure, there is no "unlock" button, but was there suppose to be? Peter Chou never said the EVO 4G applied to the new policy. Even if it was to go into effect that soon. They will be updating the EVO 4G again....and probably soon

Sorry, I wasn't specific at all there. I get the sense, pardon the pun, that EVO users are feeling left behind after this update. The words half-assed were used multiple times as I scrolled the thread. Also, the fact that they were left on Sense 1.0 burned people bad.

After 10 months of having an Aria I have decided to move to the Inspire. I'm gonna miss you all. This was the perfect community, lots of hard workers and not very fast moving, like the Inspire one where you post and 2 minutes later you have 20 new posts on top of yours. I know now for sure that teh Aria is indeed the best size for a phone. I'd like to say thank you to CallMeAria, GenePoole for making the best ROM ever, DrowningChild, Jznomoney and everyone else who worked hard for all of us to enjoy the best ROMs and apps. You're all fantastic people and I hope you stay that way.
I'm looking forward to see some of you over there. Goodbye!
Very nice goodbye. I hope you enjoy the Inspire!
Best of luck & enjoy the Inspire!
Good luck with your new phone! I hope it will be as fun for you as the aria is.

hey dude, i am on the same page as u, i was thinking of buying a inspire 4g..
but how is your experience of the camera on 4g..
i used to think my aria is more or less same as iphone 4g but damn it sucks compared to iphone 4 specially in indoor lighting condtions.

You're lucky that I still come to this forum from time to time to see if I can help on anything. I'm loving the Inspire, the camera is great actually. Most HTC's phones come with crappy camera but the Inspire is excelent in outdoors and very good indoors, the double LED flash works like a charm. It also comes with face recognition. More important there are some fascinating ROMs for the Inspire. The best you can get is TB Fusion 1.9 that's Gingerbread with Sense 3.0 weather, lockscreen and SMS. Works blazing fast and is very very stable.
I'm still waiting to see some familiar faces on the Inspire forum. You won't regret it

I'm going on a full year with my aria. That is a first. Usually have changed 4 times or more by now. Would love a bigger robust phone but aria fits the bill. Perfect size, gym and running friendly package! Glad your liking the inspire and happy at&t is getting better with the android line. An Aria 2 would sway me from my Aria!!!

No, I got a Candanian NAM version off of ebay. My wife has had an EVO for almost a year and I just couldn't get use to a 4.3 inch display like the EVO/Inspire has. The Incredible's 4 inch screen should be just about right.
Well, just wanted to share some information that fell on my lap with you guys.
I got in contact with Samsung Chile via Twitter here in South America, and I asked about the Gingerbread update for the Galaxy Tab Wi-Fi. They replied saying:
"@Samsung_Chile: Estamos trabajando en el update, debiera estar en 2 meses más. Para videochat puedes ocupar Skype o Quick Saludos!"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It basically translates to: "We are working on the update, and it should be available in another 2 months. For video chat, you can use Skype or Qik."
Well, considering this came from the OFFICIAL Samsung Chile Twitter account, there is some credit attached to it. But then again, the same person didn't know that Skype is a) not supporting video chat for ANY Tab officially and b) that Skype needs 2.3.4 to work for video as far as I know.
So take that as you will. The word comes from the official Samsung Twitter account, so that counts for something. But I think a grain of salt needs to be applied in this case.
Just sharing the news with you guys! Hope this answers some questions for the rest of us Wi-Fi owners.
any news for the GT-P1000 ?
I was holding off on rooting/flashing my Tab because I was waiting for the official update to hit T-Mobile USA customers.
I'm glad I finally said "screw that" and flashed the Overcome 2.3 ROM. It's really easy to do, and if you're tired of waiting I'd recommend going ahead and giving it a shot.

I would, but I have the Wi-Fi model of the Tab. Not the 3G. This clearly says P1010L! Not the 3G model!
And the Firmware isn't compatible across both versions, sadly.

I'm guessing it'll also be in 2 months then. I mean, why not? If they are rolling out the update for the P1010L in 2 months here, it stands to reason that they'll give the P1000L the same treatment... after all, it is the more popular model, I think.

I have the GT-P1010 and hope it applies to mine as well. I've been holding out as I didn't want to accidentally brick mine trying to root it so this is wonderful news! I wasn't sure they would do it cos I heard the P1010 model has inferior parts which make the ginge update impossible. A sliver of hope is definitely better than none and I'm content to wait 2-3 months for the update to happen...if it does.
Thanks for sharing the news!
Yesterday I recived a response from Samsung Mexico about when and if there will it be an update, the response was this:
Disculpe el inconveniente Sr. Rodríguez, aún no contamos con un tiempo
estimado en el cúal estará disponible la actualiación Android 2.3 en
México.

It translates to something like this:
We apologize for the inconvenience Mr. Rodriguez, still do not have a time
estimate in which will be available an Android 2.3 update in Mexico.
Maybe the employe does not know that there is no update at the moment or there is really an update in the works... only time will tell.
I almost forgot, My galaxy is an P1010 model no TV tunner.

You never know, it could be that the Mexican branch has no idea of what they are talking about, or it could be the Chilean branch that is mistaken. There's no way to know, really. I just hope it'll happen because it'd be terrible if it didn't. Froyo is alright and all, but it doesn't hold a candle to Gingerbread.
And with no Dev scene for the P1010, we are sh*t out of luck in trying to get GB on our own...
just so you guys know, you can get Skype working on the P1010 using the modified APK in the android software development forum from user "droidrx". it works on my GF's fine, except that while you must hold it in landscape mode, the camera feed that the other party sees is rotated 90 degrees.
Also, unless the app has changed, only the back camera works so no real face-to-face
I got a tweet back from @samsungsupport on the question of GB on the P1010. They claim that "we (samsung) are not permitted to speculate. Stay tuned!"
Now you could argue that they are hinting that it may happen and to stay tuned for updates. I personally dont think it will happen but they have been slightly ambiguous.
I wish they would though, i need something to play around with on my Tab!

If Samsung upgrades this badboy to 2.3 I will change my outlook on their post product support. Thanks for sharing, I'll certainly be watching this one.
