ever since the 2.0.1 update (automatic, i didn't get it manually or anything), my sound has been fucking up. when it gets into this state, most sounds don't play through the external speaker, and i get absolutely no call audio unless i put it in speaker mode.

anyone else see anything like this?

sounds like you may want to return it

Anyone tried out swype. Looks pretty nifty on the omnia 2 and apparently they have a similar version for the droid.

buyers remorse on the droid now

damn you nexus one

12/23/2009 10:56:43 AM

Don't be gay. It's just the fucking dev phone.

12/23/2009 10:59:02 AM

^^ it's running 2.1, which is significantly faster than 2.0.1

just wait till it hits your droid (or you can do it now if you use the instructions in this thread) and you'd see the speed bump too

12/23/2009 11:24:17 AM

Yeah, I'm sure the 1-Ghz Snapdragon in there has very little to do with the speed difference.

12/23/2009 11:55:36 AM

yeah but buyer's remorse assumes he didn't know his phone would be outpowered in 3 months which in this day and age is a given

not only is the nexus one faster but his droid will be too so just be thankful you don't have a blackberry, that would fit buyer's remorse more

12/23/2009 12:07:56 PM

and don't forget the droid came with a 16gb microsd card ($40 value) so really I paid $59 bucks for the phone. even in 6 months you won't catch me saying buyer's remorse.

the nexus one is only coming with 4gb.

12/23/2009 12:44:12 PM

meh. plus it's probably going to tmobile so epic fail

12/23/2009 12:48:21 PM

passion/dragon will be CDMA

12/23/2009 1:03:39 PM

My phone upgrades starts today. I'm getting an Eris. I like all that the droid can do but the Eris just looks and feels better to me. Plus, we'll be getting 2.0/2.1 on it very soon.

^^^ that is a dumb ass comment. I LOVE T-MOBILE. Very soon it's going to be 7.2 mb/s as well. I will very likely cancel TWC and just tether from my 3G connection.

"^ interested to hear your thoughts after a few days of use. Keep me informed!"

Since there hasn't been much attention to the Moment in this thread, here is what I've noticed thus far:
- Its a battery hog. I can use it off and on during the day (start at 8-9am, needs to be charged by 10-11pm). Leave the GPS off for better life.
- The UI is fast and responsive. I played with it and the Hero in a sprint store before I chose this, they both seemed about as fast/responsive. It was the size (this is bigger) and the slide-out qwerty keyboard that made me choose this.
- That keyboard takes a bit to get used to. Keys aren't raised very much, so its easy to make typos or not press the key squarely.
- Comes with a 2gig microSD card. If you're going to download much or use it for music, you'll need to get another one. You can't swap out cards without popping the battery off.
- Haven't had any trouble with apps, google integrations, or dialing. Works well for dialing.

Most of what I liked is Android common; the keyboard and being on Sprint were the main reasons for choosing this phone. I am looking forward to their 2.1 push in Q1 2010 (read that somewhere, forget where). Using the GMail app vs. the email IMAP app is so much better, but this only supports one account (my work uses Google Apps, I'd be nice to have them both in the GMail app).

12/24/2009 12:48:44 AM

I don't know if this has been posted, but the unsung hero feature of my droid is the speaker. I can put on pandora and hear it through my whole house

12/24/2009 11:14:17 AM

^^ thanks for the update. Have you used a WM phone before? If so how do they compare? Also learned that downloaded apps must be stored on the internal memory of the Hero...is that the same for the moment or can it be stored on the mc?

Im looking into getting an Android phone (Hero or Moment) or the HTC Touch Pro 2 (WM 6.1). I cant really decide between the two. Im familiar with WM because Ive been using a Q9C for the last two years and I have no issues with it. Touch Pro 2 will also get the upgrade to WM 6.5 when it comes out. But Im intrigued by Android and the opportunity to get apps and customization on it.

Has anyone gone from a WM phone to an Android phone?

OR DO I WAIT FOR THE NEXUS ON SPRINT?!?!!

Wait for Sprint to get a 2nd gen Android phone, the Hero is still running the older hardware

12/27/2009 8:32:35 PM

I haven't used a WM phone; can't help with any comparisons. And haven't noticed where the apps are downloaded to, but they 'config' files for each app are on the SD card.

I just purchased a Samsung Moment too. The 800 mhz processor kills the battery, but I found that if you download any one of the task killer apps it'll keep the battery charged for a solid day with no problems at all. I've been using mine none stop. I was on AT&T until getting this phone. I love the network coverage and the phone isn't to damn bad either.

just called t-mobile to make sure i wasn't in any contract that would prevent me from getting the nexus one. i will be ordering as soon as its available.

"Some of the most important bits of info we extracted (assuming the tipster is accurate, and it seems like he is). Oh, and take a look at our hands on with the device in case you haven't familiarized yourself with it yet. • Yeah, it's $530 unsubsidized. Google's not going to be selling the phone at cost, like so many people considered. They're not going to save us from the "making money off of hardware" culture we've got right now, so this is basically just another Android handset, albeit a really good one • If you want it subsidized, you'll have to sign up for a 2 year mandatory contract and pay $180 for the phone • There's only one rate plan: $39.99 Even More + Text + Web for $79.99 total • Existing customers cannot keep their plan if they want a subsidized phone; they have to change to the one plan, and this only applies to accounts with one single line • If that doesn't fly with you, you have to buy the $530 unlocked version—this actually might save you money over two years if you already have a cheap plan • Family plans, Flexpay, SmartAccess and KidConnect subscribers must buy the phone unlocked and unsubsidized for $530 • You can only buy five Nexus One phones per Google account • There is language in the agreement of shipping outside the US • Google will sell it at google.com/phone, which explains what they were doing with that page a few weeks ago • Google will still call it the Nexus One apparently, and not the Google Phone And here is a big one: • If you cancel your plan before 120 days, you have to pay the subsidy difference between what you paid and the unsubsidized price, so $350 in this case. Or you can return the phone to Google. You also authorize them to charge this directly to your credit card."

why does it have to be on T-Mobile?!!? Bring it to Sprint!

12/30/2009 10:49:39 AM

the Nexus is GSM not CDMA, hence why T-mobile. great for international users, suck ass for domestic users.

12/30/2009 11:44:39 AM

i've had zero problems with t-mobile and their customer service has so far been the best i've ever had to deal with. can't speak to their 3g coverage though, i hope its decent.

12/30/2009 11:46:41 AM

ha, their 3G coverage is worse than at&t's. And I'd have absolutely zero coverage for most of my ride back to raleigh since I take 421. That equals fail.

12/30/2009 11:52:12 AM

i don't care about other places, i don't travel enough for that to be a factor. just raleigh

"Nexus One not even officially released, is already rooted Posted on Wednesday, Dec 30, 2009 by Phil Nickinson What's that, you ask? The Nexus One, set to be announced by Google next week, has already been rooted? Don't be too surprised. It's an HTC device, after all, and there are enough of the in the wild that this was bound to happen. We'll let Paul from MoDaCo explain: Superboot is a boot.img that when flashed, will root your device the first time you boot (installing su and the superuser APK). No need to flash the system partition, no need to use ADB, no messing with the contents of your data partition, no overwriting the shipped ROM on your device, just flash the boot image using the instructions below and you're done! That's it. So all you need now is for the damn thing to actually become available, and then you have to scrape up the $530 (or $180 if you sign with T-Mo) to buy it. [MoDaCo via Redmond Pie] Thanks, Taimur!"

EVERYONE IS GOING TO GO TO TMOBILE NOW! OMG

1/3/2010 2:03:59 AM

It just dawned on me, this is a huge conspiracy. All of the mobile companies are actually working together.

Every 6 months they will release the next "must have" phone, on a different carrier. People will pay the termination fees and move on. They will continue this game just to collect the fees, over and over again.

1/3/2010 8:35:27 AM

^ laws are limiting those fees and you can go to tmobile without a contract *and save money*

T Mobile has really good 3G coverage in Raleigh/Cary from what I have experienced. They are JUST SHY of AT&Ts coverage (just hit the 200M mark recently I think).

BUT, only difference, T Mobile will be flipping on 7.2 HDSPA very soon. At that point, when my phone is downloading faster than my computer can, what would I really have to complain about?

1/3/2010 10:02:48 AM

The apps I've found most useful:

- ShopSavy
- PdaNet (tethering app)
- StopWatch
- TV.com
- Battery Widget (so I can see the % not just whats in the top bar)
- Barrage Lite (Scorched Earth/Tank Wars like game)
- Barcode Scanner
- android-vnc-viewer
- Phonalyzr (graphs phone/text statistics, neat to see)
- Bubble (yeah I've really used this )
- Flashlight (ditto)
- Google Sky Map
- WiFinder
