Upcoming Phones / Buy G2x or wait for Pyramid possibly?
« on: April 11, 2011, 10:48:14 am »
Any thoughts.  I'm still very undecided on what to do.  The Pyramid hardware does look slightly superior, but at the same time I think the 4.3" phone might just be too big.  I always thought the Droid X was way too big in my hand.  What do you all see as the plus/minus of both phones?

Android market discussion! / Scan2PDF Mobile Refund Question
« on: January 09, 2010, 02:42:05 pm »
I just wanted the opinion of others here at the forums on this.  I purchased this app several months ago and used it on my G1.  Apparently, they have two different apps now, one for Android 1.5 and 1.6 and another for 2.0.  This means now that I have my Nexus, I downloading the one I've purchased already and get for free from now on won't run on my phone.  If I want the one for my phone, I have to pay again, which I think is ridiculous.  What do others think about this, do you agree or think it's just my problem for changing phones?  I liked that with Android I could take all my apps with me to a new phone.

I think this is a bad precedent and don't think Google should let companies keep separate purchase records on apps for different OS versions, charging people again and again when they need to upgrade to fit their OS version.  I emailed the dev 2 days ago and have yet to receive a response.

Nexus One / Can't Order my Nexus One

I tried to order it right now, but once I select the full price option, I get this error message:



Anyone else seeing this problem or are you able to order?

Nexus One / Nexus One Engraving
« on: January 06, 2010, 11:10:33 pm »
I have a few days until I can order the phone.  In the mean time, I'm trying to figure out whether or not to get it engraved (tough to pass since it's free!) and if I do, what to get.  I'm wondering if anyone wants to share an engraving that they got, or an idea they have.  Something like my name just seems kinda cheesy, idk.  I am thinking maybe something Steelers or Penn State related, but I'm looking for any clever ideas.  Thanks.

Nexus One / Nexus One on Ebay
« on: January 06, 2010, 12:32:46 am »
I'm not linking to any of these Ebay sellers as they don't deserve any advertising, but has anyone searched for the Nexus One on Ebay?  How ridiculous are these prices, and even more so, how ridiculous that morons are paying and bidding for these?  I have seen them listed for and bidding for over $700.  Why would you pay that kind of money for a phone from Ebay when you can buy directly from Google for only $530 with no restrictions.  I am thoroughly confused.  I guess these people are too dumb to even bother checking what the normal sale price is.  Ugh.

MyTouch 3G / SPL
« on: November 13, 2009, 07:29:51 pm »
My wife just bought a myTouch and I am working on rooting it with Cyanogen for her.  I know on my G1, I can load the HardSPL for better loading of images and increasing space on the system partition.  However, I also saw that the HardSPL is only for the G1.  Is there another SPL I should be loading on her phone, or is it best to just stick with the stock SPL?  Thanks.

The Circus (lounge) / Hilarious Bluetooth Accessory
« on: November 06, 2009, 05:42:37 pm »
I can't help but find this thing hilarious.  What is the point of a wireless bluetooth handset that looks like a car phone from the 90s and still requires me to hold the handset to my ear?  I absolutely don't get the use of this.  The only thing funnier is the fact that they expect people to pay $450 for it.

G1 Discussion / Compcache on Cyanogen 3.9.7
« on: August 07, 2009, 01:13:09 pm »
I am a little confused about what compcache is and how it works.  I have tried reading through XDA but the amount of posts are so high I can't find what I need.  I was hoping somebody here might be able to clear it up for me.

I see that in general compcache is a way to have a compressed swap file of some sort on my EXT3 partition that is used for A2SD.  However, I noticed it had some other options.  What exactly is the backswap option?  If I want to use this, do I need a 3rd linux swap partition on my card or will it use either the EXT3 of FAT32 partition?  What does this offer me on top of what I get by using the regular compcache (which I've already set up with the new .6 version on Cyan 3.9.7.  Any helpful explanations would be appreciated as this one is confusing me.  Thanks.

G1 Discussion / Sense UI for G1 ?!?
« on: June 24, 2009, 08:37:08 pm »
Well, I'm amazed nobody started this topic yet, so I guess I'll just get to it.  What do people think the likelihood of this being available for the G1 is?  If HTC said it would be for existing devices, well the G1 is the only existing device at the moment.  My worry is that XDA has tried and tried with no luck to get it running smoothly and as snappy as the default.  Perhaps HTC with more access or working knowledge would be able to do it.

Next, if it is made available, how do you think it would be added?  Would it be part of an OTA, downloaded from the Market, or installed some other way altogether?  I really hope this can be done as I could finally have all these awesome features.  As nice as the HTC Hero theme is, it just doesn't compare to this UI.

Android market discussion! / Toggle Settings
« on: June 06, 2009, 11:35:04 am »
After finally getting a good solid ROM and theme, I am done wiping my phone (I hope).  I wanted to download toggle settings, which I have used since original release.  However, I can't dind it in the market.  Does anyone know what happened?  Can anyone share the APK file that has the latest version?  Thanks.
