Dear All Wildfire Users,
I would like to know if you could provide me some information & comparison between Wildfire & Galaxy Ace...
I'm going to purchase among these two...
Thanks...
Just by going though the tech specs, the Galaxy Ace seems to ace the Wildfire everywhere (Far better CPU, a good GPU, Larger Screen, Better Screen Res, ). The only downside as of now I see is the lack of the modding community for it. (Expected though, since it is a new phone)
I think samsung is not too popular in usa & europe...only asia & india...
that's why not many modification...only thing is the Ace is not support flash browser
Even Wildfire does not support it, just FYI.

Absolutely not. Flash is a feature included by default in Froyo 2.2, but, it requires ARMv7 or newer processors to run. Wildfire has an ARMv6 processor, so, Flash will never work on the Wildfire (Unless Adobe redesigns it to work with old hardware, which is next to impossible).
The only thing that works on Wildfire is FlashLite, along with Sense based ROM's, however, as expected, this is nowhere close to the real thing.

Can you get a flash bowser for the x10?
This is a deal breaker for me if you can't as the desire ships with one.
No flash support as yet.
Who knows in the future. All being well the introduction of 2.1 to the x10 will provide the device will the capability of recieving the new adobe flash 10.1 plugin.
As it stands though I think that flash 10.1, requires 2.1. I don't think 1.6 will cut it.
The Desire as with HTC's other device uses variant of Flash called Flashlite. It's not the full fat version of flash and can be a bit hit and miss. I used to have it on my HTC Hero.

Thanks for the reply mate.
So in your opinion is it not worth getting the desire over a non fully functional flash program?
I just reckon the x10 looks amzing lol. Desire does not look so "desirable"

I like that.
I was faced with the same dilmma X10 or Desire???
If it wasn't for the for the lack of Multitouch and Colour support it would have been X10 all the way.
In the end I figured that although my hero was a solid handset, the Desire wouldn't be much different and so sprung for the X10.
The X10 offers a great browsing experience and although flash is not supported right now I think it will be in the end. If SE don't release 2.1 officially I'm sure the guys on here will cook something.
Basically the flash support that the Desire has to offer now is not what your looking for. Games do not flow to well and any site using the later versions will not be compatible.
When the Adobe releases flash 10.1 the Desire WILL get the update. I'm sure you've seen the Youtube videos of Flash 10 on the desire/N1, It looks fantastic!!
I think the X10 will eventually get it too but it may be much later.
@Andy Milk Neo etc... ALL Techies
I know Flash is incompatible with the armv6 processor of Optimus one.
But i heard flashlite works well on eclair browser and low level s60 symbian phones with less hardware capabilities than O1.
SO, O1 having better config can atleast get flashlite. Is their any possibility to make it work with stock froyo or on your gingerbread rom.?? Flash or open-source alternatives for it.
Plzzzz do something. It would be of gr8 help to many.
no answers .??????
I'm gonna repeat what I've see elsewhere. First flashlite is very limited. If you are expecting to use Hulu or some other site it ain't gonna happen. There is a mod that gets 10.1 working on these old phones but first you need HTC sense and second it still acts like flash lite.
Another point is that the necessary info needed to port flash to an armv6 does not exist. Add in the fact these processors just don't have the horsepower to handle it, like why we will never see Google Earth on these phones. And the time vs benefit factor is low considering armv6 processors are dinosaurs, many users have moved on to bigger, better phones now.

I am using HTC HD2 with android nand roms. After Froyo wich was really good on HD2 i installed some gingerbread ROMs.
I love HTC sense so i always use Roms with sense UI.
Like all other using gingerbread i have the typical graphic glitches. There is a fix of this, but using this will bring the camera to stop working.
My Question to the developers:
Is there a real chance, that this bugs will be fixed and camera and graphics will do fine?
Can we support the developers fixing this issues?
Will there be a fix from HTC/when?
I am very happy with android and appreciate the lots of work of the developers. Thank you, its great.
I am thinking about giving my HD2 away and buy a Samsung Galaxy S2.
If there will be fixes of this bug in short time i will keep my HD2 on.
If there is no possibility of fixing this, i will change to Galaxy S2.
Thanks for your hints.
Definitly not the proper section, it should be in Q/A...
BUT :
I'd love to see a dev/chef offering a fully working Froyo Sense. No 2.1 or 3.0. Sense is only experimental now, there is no more stable and up to date version of Froyo Sense which is a shame.
RafDroid is out of date and Incredible S (imilka) buggy with many apps FC...
should post this in Q&A
as for imilkas incredible s build, never had any issues with it and wqas running it for at least a month and half before changing never had any force closes
Try the game Cordy...
fix for graphic glitches?
I installed HTC HD2 Android Gingerbread on Nand. The typicel GB-graphic glitches suck very much.As far as I understand, is it possible for the devs to fix this bugs as soon as HTC releases the Kernel Source Code of GB.
When will HTC release this source?
I am sad about this bugs and thinking of sell my HD2 and buy a Galaxy S2.
Anybody who can give some details?

Everything is possible and almost all things made possible on HD2. I don't think fix for this issue will be impossible. Just its about time. Don't worry, Android isn't a windows mobile or windows phone for someone to protect.
Keep hopes!
Thanks...

Dude, have patience. just wait of this problem to be fixed as well. however, if u planned to by galaxy s2 there will not as much support with it as compared to hd2 cuz there are so much developers working on hd2 roms, and i hope that the time is near for a stable sense 3.0 rom for hd2.

they will probably fix the glitches once the DESIRE GB kernal source is released
which it seems they have forgotten to do,or they just dont plan on releaseing it
I'm a noob, but... this seems to be desire HC gingerbread source code...

let me understand...
out HD2 seems to be very similar to desire HD in hardware (the only difference seems to be original OS and Camera, 5 vs 8 MPx) same CPU and same graphic processore.
desire HD already have a gingerbread + Sense official rom. It's only sense 2.1, but we have same glitches problem on any gingerbread + sense rom. the problem seems to be the same...
why we need a desire (not HD) kernel source code? there is no way to use desire HD source?

I thought this at first as well but I can't explain this to you, only a dev or someone more experienced can. But in short, the hardware is not close enough, the DHD has a 2nd generation CPU vs the HD2's 1st gen or something like that, whereas the original desire has the same hardware as the HD2.
TBH, I have no clue in other words.
Hi everyone,
im thinking to get Huawei U8800 PRO,
and was wondering, is it reliable?
i was reading some user opinions on GSMarena and XDA, seems like 50/50, or you get faulty device or not.
Well my friend i have one for a month and so far i'm very pleased, very fast, stable, recent chipset.
Overall very good phone for the money.
The cons is that there is no custom roms yet, it has the froyo, unlike the u8800 i doesn't have too many tweaks.

Thanks! 1 customer seems doesnt have problems
hmmm maybe just wait a bit more and till it will be updated to 2.3
p.s. custom roms arent in my intesterests, i just want stability with stock rom

Custom ROMs are more stable than stock in most cases
Im using SE phone, and still till this day i havent found any more stable rom than stock one 2.1 by SE
I have possability to get Samsung Galaxy Gio from same network provider for same price (wich is by specs is far away from Huawei ofc), but i dont know how PRO is reliable, from what i understand nonPro version is win or loose, quite big percentage to get a faulty phone.
I just dont want to pay for 2 years for a phone wich can stop working properly after 1 week or 1 month
So its a big deal for me to know as much as possible from user expieriences.
Doe's it have radio,or is that just a myth?

My brother have a Huawei Ideos X5 and its way too good for the money...Very quick and stable...
Dont buy this it has ****ty camera like ideos x5
Go for htc desire s instead of this
Way better camera real 720p hd no lags in videos good performance in low light conditions and fast performance 768mb ram which is good for multitasking
Plus htc support
You can find desire s in price of u8800 pro
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
U8800Pro is way cheaper than desire s. 512mb and 768mb ram dont make a big difference. Camera is worse, true. But is it worth the money?
Wifi and Bluetooth is much better on the desire S as well. It's not just the RAM, the phone itself and it's components are higher quality.
If you afford a Desire S, don't even think about Huawei.
HTC actually has support, I've received 2 OTA updates last week...So they actually care about users...

Actually, you're wrong...have a look at this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_on_chip
The chip-set is the same, but peripherals, ROM, RAM, EEPROM and external interfaces (USB, HDMI, WIFI, BT etc) are manufacturer designed/sourced components (in HTC case, they are higher quality).
And another thing, if your statement would be true all MSM 8255 based phones would be identical...so, NO!

If you think that only processor is different between u8800 and u8800pro - you're wrong. They've changed something more. Wifi chip for example. That's why Pro has FM radio and non Pro doesn't. proof

@NForce25: FYI, katu2006 is now a happy HTC Incredible S owner..
since both of u seem to be satisfied with ur current smartphone, why bother to continue this argument?!

This is no argument The point of the conversation is that people talk about U8800 cons while the topic is about U8800Pro, which has those cons fixed in factory (except the camera of course, I think that even my old HTC Magic took better pictures)

Yeah, I have a Pro, and getting to know it's hardware well as I'm trying to port ROM's and stuff on it It has more differences from the original U8800 than someone could think of
When i browse Youtube i found this....
and this link.
any1 try it?
The website leads to a Sharecash link, so my guess is that it isn't legit.
And besides, we already have ICS

Its fake. Look at all the hassle we have when New versions of android comes out its fake trust me!
I reported the file at ShareCash. Let's see how they'll respond...
You can do the same here: sharecash.org/report.php?file=2719513
100% fake , this sites which states that their "tool" will "update" ANY phone OS , are never real. The hardware is highly different and almost never this "tools" upgrade anything , or if they do , its highly possible to brick your phone ...
It's fake. The only real places to get info and updates to the latest Android version are xda and similar forums. Arco was developing a CM9 ROM for Wildfire, he even posted a video of it booting up and running, but as far as I know official CM9 support will be removed for Wildfire, as it has no dedicated GPU. A dedicated GPU is one of the requirements of ICS. I guess arco has stopped development of CM9 on Wildfire and moved to another device because of this. The ICS UI will be pretty laggy running on a phone without a GPU.

I'm running Erwin's CM9 on mine, it's a bit slower than CM7, but perfectly usable otherwise. In fact, it's probably quite a bit faster than the stock ROM...
