Hey guys.I'm considering getting a Optimus One, but I do have some questions.
1) How responsive is the user interface (Is it smooth or does it lag)
2) How responsive is the touch screen? How does it compare to an iPhone's?
3) The touch screen is capativive right?
I have a choice between the Optimus One and the HTC Wildfire, but I don't have a clue which one to get. Any adviice would be great.
Mate... if you're wondering between those two... Just go for optimus one! I have some test units for development and I just prefer my own. Those wildfire are worse (in every way)! Lauzy resolution, not smooth, sometimes buttons just aren't rendered correctly and (for me it isn't good) the screen is too sensitive.
1) Smooth (and even smoother if you install laucher pro)
2) Very responsive
3) Capacitive, yes
And again, for your own good, do not buy a wildfire...
1) How responsive is the user interface (Is it smooth or does it lag)

I didn't noticed any problem. Always is really fast and I haven't any problem even with more application running. Only some time when I my Smart keyboard appear, I noticed small time between 1st touch and responce (about 200ms). On second and next is everything ok (maybe problem is in load of dictionary from SDcard)
2) How responsive is the touch screen? How does it compare to an iPhone's?

I had't touch screen before, but I think that it works really nice. Some time I noticed casual (I don't know it this is right word) touchs, but I thing that it's caused by me, becouse I'm not "experienced" with touchs By time is going, it works more better with me
3) The touch screen is capativive right?

I have same choice, but when I red about battery time, I chose Optimus One. HTC many times have problem keeps 1 day. With my Optimus I attacking 2 days. Also there was some notes about better readability of display on sun (but I can't confirm this).
Thanx alot people. I think I've made up my mind, I will get the optimus one.
Just one more quest, as far as I know the Optimus One does not support 3d gaming and I have made piece with that, but then I found this video on youtube, where a guy is playing Need For Speed Shift on his Optimus One.Just search for "optimus one nfs shift" on youtube (Sorry I cant post links yet). Can someone mabey confirm that it is possible as it just seems just too good to be true.Once again, thanx for the replies.
I am not sure that's correct.... I thought the OPTIMUS 1 had a dedicated GPU Adreno 200? Which supports OPEN GL.... I am pretty sure the Wildfire does not have one.

Well, Here is the deal on our phone , link @ goo.gl/2PCYC :
""Quadrant benchmark application measures the overall performance of your phone. Given that the CPU component hardly received any improvement over MSM7200 series, it is natural to conclude that other areas received significant improvements. One area in particular, is the GPU. MSM7227 features a dedicated GPU called, Adreno 200. This is the SAME GPU that is found in the first generation Snapdragon processors!
.......
And then there's the screen resolution. Typical Snapdragon phones use 800x480 screen resolution, while most of the MSM7227 phones use 320x480. That's less than half the amount of pixels MSM7227 has to process through. The result? Surprisingly snappy performance out of "lowly" 528MHz/600MHz processor!""
& i even tried ExZeus (link: goo.gl/pkA6D ) which run well too.

I've been thinking of trading my HTC Tattoo for a Xperia X10 mini (maybe pro) what do you guys have to say?
I'd like to know what are tha main advantages/disadvantages of the mini if possible
Thanks in advance,
K.
hello,
it depends from your expectations...
why do you want exchange HTC Tattoo?
do you have any problems with it? because your phone has almost similar parameters, x10 mini has slightly better HW specifications, specially 5Mpx photo camera with autofocus and led flash is very good, better processor, but smaller battery capacity, in real life battery holds 2 days max. My record is 3 days but it was on business trip and I didn't used mobile data because of rooming, on other side I used GPS navigation and photo camera lot so it was a very good performance.

Thanks for your reply : )
Well my major factor for choosing one is that it's one of the phones I can afford on a contract (selling my Tattoo would get me the cash needed for it) and the fact that I can have Android 2.x with working camera and fm radio (if the x10 does have one xD)
I like my Tattoo (because of its size mainly) and the mini boasts of being the smallest Android so it doesn't seem like a bad change.
My main problem with my Tattoo is that HTC dropped us at Android 1.6 without caring because of the release of the Wildfire, and because of that xda devs never were able to get their hands on camera/radio 2.x drivers therefore one has to choose between camera (crappy) and radio or 2.x apps support. Really ungrateful position to be in.

in this case, x10 mini is good for you
Go for the Mini mate
The Mini is the best phone I've had so far and believe me I've had a LOT... you wont regret buying it (it won an award for being the best phone for 2010 and 2011 which you probably know) its on android 2.1, it runs games fast @ 43FPS! for example runs Angry birds great but on the Hero which I had it lagged (23FPS on the Hero) and PSX4droid runs pretty great too =]
I have Apps2SD enabled, installed about 70+ apps/games (most of the big games work perfectly e.g. Pocket Legends, Fifa 10, Fruit Ninja etc) whereas normally without Apps2SD you wouldn't be able to get more than 4-5 big games on it.. so yeah
Do the wise thing and get the damn thing!!
PS. The disadvantage is that it has no Multi-touch but afaik that may change soon
I can also vouch for the x10 mini pro, and I too came from having a tattoo. The x10 is as good as technically and id argue better than the tattoo and I can tell you I wouldnt be writing this on my tatoo but I am happily on my mini pro

Thanks for all the replies guys ^^ You've all ben very helpful =P
Hello to all members,
I am totally new to this forum and I love it from the very first impression.
I am noob and I know nothing much about android, however I have started to read a lot on this forum. Thanks to all those nice helping guys around.
I am about to buy an android mobile, And, in my budged Sony Xperia X8 and LG Optimus One fits best. I am in great confusion about which phone i should buy.
What i think is X8 is definitely not going to get 2.2 update. But I liked it`s music quality. And in some review, i read that internet browsing his smoother on it than O1. Is that really true?
I want to use lot of internet and music. Please can someone help me out with this?
I done much googling on this, and finally created this thread.
So, in short i wanted to ask you guys to please help about following-
1)can I use those android mobiles as modem, i run windows XP
2)Is it better than symbian s60 ? I am using nokia n72 from past 4 years. Should I switch myself to android?
3)considering internet experiance, which mobile is better?
are there any good browsers available there for more better experiance?
4)according to your experiance, which one should i really buy?
I am waiting eagerly for your responses as I had lot of panic in deciding between these two mobiles. Also, if you know any mobile within same price range let me know.

Wireless/USB Tethering, i guess. Most new Android phones come with this Though I'm not sure if this applies to Eclair (2.1)

I would say yes. Android is much more open and customizable than Symbian. However, Symbian devices require much less CPU and RAM. And in case you ask me, I'd go for Android.
3)considering internet experiance, which mobile is better?
are there any good browsers available there for more better experiance?

Both of them have a 320x480 resolution, so as screen readability is concerned, I think they're the same. Both don't have flash. There are many browsers are there designed for different kinds of goals. Skyfire, for instance, aims to be able to play those flash videos, even though the phone doesn't have flash player.
By the way, I think the X8 doesn't have multitouch, so no pinch zoom. Pinch zoom is important for me O1 scores here.
according to your experiance, which one should i really buy?

O1, since we're going to get (hopefully) Gingerbread soon enough. + multitouch (though buggy), it's newer, bigger RAM and internal memory, etc.
It pretty much answers itself when you post the question in optimus one forum lol, personally I was also considering x8, but since I'm a techie, one look at the ram on x8 (I believe its 128mb) compared to 512mb on optimus one, it was a clear decision.
Thanks!

No problem. That's the power of being stuck at home lol. Anyway, here are other phones I considered in the same price range:
1. HTC Wildfire - didn't choose because of screen resolution (240x 320, too low).
2. Samsung Galaxy Spica - I thought there was no multitouch, is old (yeah, for me), no official Gingerbread (considering the fact that the decision was made last december 2010)
3. Galaxy 3/5 - Screen resolution, no Gingerbread.
4. Optimus Chic - I couldn't wait for the release. It was a good decision on choosing the O1 though, since there is no Chic subforum here in xda afaik.
5. Maybe I forgot some other phones. These were my best choices last December
Motorola defy is the next step forward from these phones. Google for it's specs.
The only + X8 has over O1 is headphone audio quality. O1 is pain for ears, even with good headphones.
Hi,
I decided to purchase a EVO 3D all of a sudden. I have a little time to decide so I want to ask some questions to the owners. Please forgive me, I know that these questions must have been asked several times on this forum and I can find answers if I search. But really I don't have time to search and read many threads for this because I have to decide in 2 or 3 hours.
1. Does it have native 3G video call support using the front cam ?
2. is it supported in new games with nice graphics ?
3. any cons to the other 3D Android phone (LG Optimus 3D) ?
4. is there a CPU comparison to check what is EVO 3D's place among all other Android phones (specially Tegra 2) ?
5. Currently there is not ICS Rom developed for this ROM (I mean with all features). Do you believe we'll have a fully working ICS ROM in near future ?
6. Does it have a good community ?
7. LG Optimus 3D has a nice 3D UI, but EVO 3D does not have such GUI. Is it hard to develop a 3rd party 3D UI ? a 3D launcher maybe ?
Thanks.
I'd appreciate any help...
Not to be terribly rude, but you have over 700 posts, have been a member since 2007, and cannot search to find these answers on your own. They're out there and it doesn't take but a few minutes, not hours.
Short answer...better than most any other phone out there IMO, and definitively better than any LG. Tegra 2 is overrated also.
there are several parameters when you consider to buy a new phone. and sometimes it's better to get answers directly from the owners.
anyway, I've lost my chance to purchase the phone.
I'm thinking; is it really hard to give short answers to just 7 questions about a phone that you own ?
it could save my hours digging to get all that info.
AND; really some of my questions are not answered in these threads...
1. Does it have native 3G video call support using the front cam ?
*This question depends on the network as much as it does on the phone. I've never bothered to try on sprint but I doubt it as I see no way to do it.
2. is it supported in new games with nice graphics ?
*What new games... I only play angry birds.
3. any cons to the other 3D Android phone (LG Optimus 3D) ?
*I can't think of any con's to the phone other than mine being s-on. I don't own an LG nor have I ever owned an LG so I can't comment on their phones.
4. is there a CPU comparison to check what is EVO 3D's place among all other Android phones (specially Tegra 2) ?
*Really I don't notice the CPU being much faster than my Samsung Galaxy.
That's all I know.

Yes LGs 3D UI looks nice but is only a small part of the phone. SPB is working on incorprating a 3D option into their launcher, but at the moment its experimental (BETA) and has a few shortfalls but is interesting anyway.
Thanks.[/QUOTE]
thank you, hungry81.
I've already lost my chance to buy it.
but anyway, you say that you didn't have any performance issues with any games. some people are complaining about performance with
GTA3 which was released on friday.
did you try that ?
1.Games... Sorry never installed hardcore games (only built in spiderman 3d game_LOOKS VGOOD TO ME)... But with the evo 3d brand processor it will definitely can play future games
2. Native front camera , yes it works i use skype and ym.. speed depends on network (mine is boost part of sprint netwrk,kinda laggy but works,best if wifi). I hope i answered ur Q On this one
3. Evo vs lg? Never had lg, but i read on magazine (pc magazine i think). Evo 3d vs samsung galaxy s2, galaxy beats evo by amoled screen and just a little bit in processor but thats about it... So if lg brand u wanted is better than galaxy s2 then u know the answer...

There appears to be a big lack of development for this phone. Just wondering if anyone expects things to pickup? I just come from a galaxy nexus and while I know that that it's one of the most favored phones from the developers side, I'm currently disappointed by the lack of options wet currently have. There is like only 3 ICS Roms and 3 ICS kernels (1 only has OC ability) to choose from.
Love this phone though.

It would be a dream if Huexx had a Sony Xperia S to develop a great rom like Zeus ROM for Optimus Black (i have one, trying to sell it). An incredible and organized work, with a great presence in the comunity, organized changelogs and constant updates! He also developed a nice kernel for CM9 (that original kernel from Cyanogen guys is bugged and crappy) that turned CM9 almost a usable ROM (not for me, since i really like listening music and podcasts with my phone). He did a really incredible work with Zeus! Should we ask him if he have interest in a Xperia S and donate one to him? XD haha! But really guys! Give a look at his work!
Yea...i two u man on dis...!!

mainly because the people have got this phone on a contract there for the bootloader cant be unlocked as of this moment until setool or some other software manage to enable fastboot via testpoint. (exactly the reason i cant develop for this phone atm)
Soon many Arc/Arc S devs will come and support this phone.
Once we get CM9 and CM10 going you should see more development.

this is what concers me too.. i started with galaxy s then galaxy s2.. but after that i switched to moto xoom, then galaxy tab 10.1 and then temprorarly galaxy ace.. i used samsung most of the time because of the unlocked bootloaders but i could never get used to the build quality and never got away from the screen burns of the amoled screen..
so my next preference was htc sensation XE.. this was the perfect phone for me definetely.. i had gread develeopment (since it was backed up by original sensation days), great sound quality and somehow quallcomm CPU and GPU was better than the arm based ones... i know the benchmarks say the opposite but i was using my sensation XE at 1.2 Ghz by setcpu and it was still fast enough and it never refused to play any game i thrown at.. but dust got under the screen after a few months and i sold it..
so my next was htc one x and it was a disaster with the greatest screen i have ever seen.. it was a joy to play with it but the problems were unsolveable for daily usage.. and no matter how much i love playing with my phone, messing things most of the time i need it as a ready and steady phone for daily usage.. with that heat, lack of S-off and other problems i sold it too..
so novadays i was looking at the galaxy note or s3 but then i decided to be realistic.. i love playing my games on the consoles and my computer.. so gamewise any phone would handle me because my expectations are low.. what i want is smooth web browsing, very good audio quality to listen lossless music and a good camera to shoot good photos and HD videos (not like a pro camera but at least sharp enough to make the moment freeze forever to remember later).. so i decided to go for nexus.. but then in a store i realised every galaxy phone had screen burns.. i know there are lots of ways to prevent it but still this time i made a promis and have to live with my next phone 1.5 year at least and i dont want to watch my leds die slowly and seperately in front of my eyes everyday..
so i decided to go back to sensation XE.. the most problem-free experience for me.. i care so much about graphic performance.. i think any CPU can handle anything novadays but GPU makes the difference.. so the adreno 220 in sensation XE was more than enough with the help of low-res screen and it was also OCable.. but then i saw a friends xperia s.. that changed everything.. until then i did not even look at any sony device.. not even accidentely..
now i really can not decide.. i have never been into any sony topics before so i am trying to learn but i guess on the development side xperia S is no match for sensation / XE..
so i am kind of scared about the high resolution of the screen.. XE is getting old and has only 768 mb of RAM but it has S-off and lots of developers will keep it as a legacy device.. besides i do not have to worry about warranty since there is S-off...
on the other hand soy seems to be promising with this brand new device and it seems like they use the hardware better than HTC.. it gives 37.5 FPS on the nenamark2 even with that 720p screen.. but is there any chance that i keep the warranty even after i unlock the bootloader... and what about the sound quality? i know sensation XE was not the best but at leats the sound is clear and there is beats audio.. and "most importantly" will there be any more development? i dont want to buy a device that will be forgotten after 3-4 months...
i know i wrote very long but i decided to ask.. because i have been reading for 3 weeks non-stop and i am more cunfused than i started.. its like android world's nature.. every device has their adventages and disadvanteges on each other.. like a perfect balance and it is really hard to choose sometimes..
^ you can re-locked the bootloader. and here in Indonesia, they (Sony's Service) dont even bother checking the bootloader f it's hardware problems (yellow tints). so i guess it's not an issue, but different country, different policy.
and for development.. SXS has, modded stock roms (2), cm9 and cm10 in development (bug fixing, etc), and official miui. what's more do you want? i prefer this than many development which only modified stock roms, modified miui, modified cm. it's just me though..
actually i prefer one good custom (or stock) rom than lots of roms.. but for example sensation and one x has a camera mod which let them shoot videos with 20Mbps (or 40) and take photos with 0 compression.. and i can tell; lowering the compression value looks like a must for xperia S too.
or you can OC the GPU to get more performance on 3d apps or games.. these are more important than having lots of custom roms in my opinion.. because since ICS came out every custom rom is similar to each other.
what i want to do is generally about unleashing the potential of the hardware.. like in the camera mod example.. i mean, the camera lens is still there but the software uses it much better with a little touch of a good developer..

Is it still worth a shot? In my range i can get an SIII (but my brother has one and I LOVE SENSE )... or the 1 gig ram is a bit out of its league?
If YES to the above question.... Then i would have to HAND PICK the One X+ from the market 2nd hand... So... Here are my "tests" to check the faults of it (so i can get a PERFECT WORKING phone) .. You see here in Pakistan. People play around with their devices and then sell them off when they're broken... About 80% of the case :/
So here are my tests PLEASE TELL ME IF U WANT ME TO TEST SOMETHING ELSE THAT I HAVE LEFT.
1. Androsensor (app) - for the sensors and their function.
2. Record a video and tap both mics to see if the other is working (saw alot of them having bugs here)
3. Display tester (app) - put it on FULL BRIGHTNESS and check the buggy display.
4. Manually check the scratches etc.
5. Check whether its disassembled or not (how do i do it? :/ )
6. Any other of u suggest
Thank you for ur time.

First, check if the phone lags, i.e., the lock screen should pop up with less than under 1.5s or 2s. If that happens, it means that the CPU is able to cope with the previous owner's usage and is still in a good shape. Multi-task apps. If the phone stutters during multi-tasking, put it down and test out another X+. DO NOT BUY THE S3! The S3 uses a processor which will lag over time. I've tried and I know it. Good Luck!:fingers-crossed:

Thanks alot can you please answer a few more would really appreciate it
1. I've heard there's this Wi-Fi problem with the One X+ devices (or was it the One X?). That the antenna on the back casing wasnt stable and rigid... However the newer versions had the problem fixed.. Is there any way to check the build version? of the HARDWARE.?
2. The "Screen Flickering"? It was fixed in the newer versions... Or is it that the display becomes old?
You are wrong sir
The s3 has a better gpu and software under the hood
Also the s3 will get better support and faster (and more updates)
+ it has a better camera

go to dialler and dial *#*#3424#*#* and run all the tests. Please press thanks button if i helped you :laugh::good:
Which device to get threads are not allowed because they would become subjective and it wouldn't help anyone (as it has already started to become). As far as testing goes, the responses given should suffice. Any other issues with the phone can be found in General. Thread closed.
