An early look at 2.1 version for X10 looks promising and the integration of SE apps seems a bit better.
Browser is better, the whole system even if this is a test version seems responsive enough.
Nevertheless if you have anything you would like me to test on this new version maybe I can help but I can't promise anything .
Erm..... what now???
Just one question: have they backported anything from 2.2?

Does the move to 2.1 affect in-call volume?
This is by far the device's most annoying issue.

-Landscape in home screen? nope
-Media scape is present doesn't seem any different to be honest
-Nope
-I can't see any SE specific
-Not really but this is a test version
-Same as above
-camera UI seems the same as for video can't shoot anything at the moment, will try tomorrow
-the keyboard is a bit different but not drastically, they fitted a couple more buttons in the bottom row, in general the same feeling.

Not at the moment
In general keep in mind that is a test version so content is definitely missing and the performance is good in general but should be faster when all the debug bloat is removed in the final version.
Of course all the 2.1 goods are there (multiple home screens, live wallpapers, better browser) and SE has done a better customization of the messaging app.
Is HD recording available???
EDIT: I saw your message. Thanks.

By the way the lock screen has changed to look more like 2.1 with the key lock and volume icon. No more sliding the stupid arrow

C'est la vie. Multitouch or no multitouch we are waiting like crazy for the 2.1. Maybe they will put touch to zoom in it.
Boo i really liked having the touch to focus feature on my N1 hopefully with time it will come back. Btw what is the "infinity" option in the settings of camera focus?

I don't remember that the Nexus One had touch to focus... or at least not in the default camera application.

The N1 does not have "touch to focus" by default, and neither does the G2. Big surprise there.
Hey thanks but someone already said that. Yes it was a big surprise because the n1 didn't do 720p stock but the g2 does. So I woulda thought they'd add touch to focus too

Try depressing the shutter button slightly... It triggers a focus then you can depress the rest of the way to capture the image.
That is the regular auto focus. The touch to focus is like the ones on the iphone where whatever you press on the screen is what it will focus on

it was ported from vibrant to CM6, and you will not see it without CM on the phone once we get root
Man, that's kinda lame. I thought that was kind of a standard feature by now. I really enjoyed this feature on the Vibrant (though, I hated not having a dedicated camera button and flash).
Hopefully, Google implements this into the stock camera app.
Personally, I find touch-to-focus highly annoying and I try to avoid phones that use it. A dedicated camera button is one of the most important features on a phone for me. If the G2 had only touch-to-focus, I likely wouldn't want it.
Just thought I'd chime in from the other side of the opinion.
I agree that the camera button is better, but why not have both?
Winning statement! Lol

I wish the audio recording on the G2 was better... it seems to be a common trend among HTC phones and I don't understand why it still hasn't gotten better, especially after several other phones have been introduced already.
Ya its kinda weird because even tho the n1 had 2 mics the audio recording was not any better then the g2 still very phone like quality

The screens color is more defined than a EVO. Faster than just about any other Android device out. The keyboard rocks.
Magic maybe? Or is it the CM RC3 rom.
This thing is f-ing awesome.

I think the speed iss probably attributable to cyanogen. And as far as color goes I seem to remember that the evo only supports like 65k colors or something.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 running Cyanogenmod.
It sure is. I had a Nexus and Evo before but the G2 is my favorite one so far. Only a couple things missing from it being perfect in my opinion. Front camera, 4.0" screen, and a little slimmer design. Besides that, I absolutely love this phone!
this phone was sent from the gods.
i hate it when people compare it to the mt4g because that phone is seriously ****e. the mytouch series is for fanboys.
G2 FTW
The G2 is a great phone only thing I can ask for was a front facing cam. Coming from Nokia phones always having a front facing cam it will be missed.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
only thing i ask for is better cam/camcorder!!
I agree the camera is a bit on the weak side for a phone of this stature. Aside from that, I wish the phone came stock allowing removal of apps at will. I am new to Android, and do not want to root yet, but there are some apps that need to go!

The camera needs a better zoom (possible fix in Gingerbread?), and there needs to be instructions on how to install either Debian or Ubuntu. Oh, and if you root, you can remove the bloatware from /system/app.
As I said in my post, not willing to root yet, I need to learn more. I very much enjoy my phone as it is for now. My N85 Nokia took incredible pix with a 5MP sensor, but the Zeiss optics made it superior, the HTC camera will never equal that with software enhancements.

No camera with a lens aperture the size of a pinhole can do a good job of low-light photography. If your standards require more, you will need a better lens.

Oh c'mon.. go for it... it's fun!
I am sure that it will be fun, but with finals week here, then a 3 week trip, now is not the time to do the research I need to feel comfortable rooting. Early next month, I'll be there!
The front facing camera would be fun. I know it's not the best camera, but I appreciate what it does.
I'm very satisfied with this phone. I was dead set about getting a phone with a physical keyboard. I am now finding myself rarely using the physical keyboard. Rather I use Swype.
I came from the G1. In fact my son has it now. We are both loving the CyanogenMod 6.1.0!!! Life is good!

Same here I have used my physical keyboard once since I got the phone a few days after release, I swype everything
I love the G2! I had a Nexus One>iPhone 3G>iPhone 2G before it!
I do wish it had a 4" screen though.
G1, Mytouch, Nexus, Vibrant.. Are no where close to this G2.. The phone is blazing fast and im running Stock rom but rooted.. Its blazing.. Never froze up on me yet.. Its great only thing i can ask for is slimmer device thats it!

So I'm guessing its the device being slow but I wanted to see what everyone else had experienced and if there is a fix.
Basically I find the camera terrible. The only way to get a decent shot with less than perfect light is to use the stabilizer, which as many of you know slows down the pictures as it has to process the picture. This is VERY annoying to me. My iPhone 5s takes a much better shot and instantly without processing.
Has anyone found a fix for this be it prop settings or alternate camera apps?
I have to imagine there is a fix for this...
My last iPhone was the 5 (had the 4s before it). Apple sure has the whole "just works" thing down. That said, I REALLY like the Note 3 camera and the screen - I think it's better than the 5 - but in low light, the processing thing is INCREDIBLY ANNOYING. For a phone with this hardware, you'd think a 2 second "processing" bar would be a thing of the past.
Yea, so anyone find a fix? I want to take pics of my kid and don't have time to wait between pictures...

I am also interested - so "bump" --- I can't stand the "processing." I remember the 4.3 roms had a mention that prevented this. I wonder if the 4.4.2 roms will get it?

Hey guys I found a fix!
After poking around on my rom (Beans) I noticed they had the option for the CM 11 camera app so I grabbed it...
BOOM instantly better quality, speed, the works. :good:
So seems like the stock camera app was just terrible. CM got it right and now I'm really happy with the quality.
I compared both cameras and in almost ever case the note 3 was on par or even better than my 5s.
If you guys want some compare shots between both android cams and vs. iphone 5s let me know and i'll post some.
If you want the CM 11 camera I'm sure a little goggling will get you the APK. :laugh:
I'd also love to see what your experiences are and if you found the CM camera app to your liking.

I really miss a macro mode. I take a lot of close up detail photos for work. Now I use an eye loupe over the lens and it actually works better than before but.. you would have to carry it in your pocket...
On a side note I find the kit kat camera faster than the jellybean camera.

I don't know if this has been posted already, but i have this pretty big issue with my phone. The thing is, in the stock camera app i can't really focus on objects closer than 6-7inches, while on other not strictly camera apps (for example Facebook Messenger or Whatsapp Camera) i can focus really really close, like 2-3 inches away. Is there any way to fix that?
