Anyone upgraded HTC Legend to 2.2 froyo ?

After Upgrade, I feel the phone has slower response to touch, hangs sometimes, and does not let you answer a call etc.,

Any feedback greatly appreciated.


thanks

I am on the lookout for a new phone - definitely Android!

I am a display freak and I want the best display in that segment. Which displays I should be looking at? S-LCD? AMOLED? or both?

EDIT: Anyone has experience buying from flipkart.com? Will I get a warranty and proper bill? Any other things which I should be concerned about?

I am also looking to buy an Android device and the prices for HTC Desire, Desire HD at Flipkart are really quite lower than anywhere else.

For e.g. Desire HD is at 27.3 at Flipkart while its prices at close to 40K on ebay.

So my question, if the website reliable enough to buy from?

Thanks

Since you are from Bombay, I suggest you to check Alfa at Irla. 26,500 was the price when I purchased it with warranty and bill (without warranty is cheaper by 2k). My friend purchased it from Flipkart and he was committed a delivery within 2-3 days. It took 8 days after which he lost his patience and purchased from the market at the same price.

We can't technically say AMOLED always consumes less power. For the same screen resolution for a 2.4" display, if the screen displays all white pixels, AMOLED consumes about 330% more power than LCD.

Attachment 483350


As the display goes from white to something which contains more and more darker pixels, the power consumption of AMOLED reduces and goes below that of LCD while LCD's consumption stays almost at the same level. A typical desktop with black background and few icons in an android phone will make the AMOLED consume about 40-50% of what is consumed by LCD. So on an average, it ends up consuming about 60% of that of LCD screens with normal usage.

If you use internet a lot, battery will drain as fast as that in LCD - due to white (or lighter colors) being the background color of many websites. This also explains the black themes many Android phones come shipped with.

Information from a presentation which compares both technologies.

Now this was against LCD. I read somewhere that S-LCD consumes less power than older LCD screens.



Just higher resolution? What about colors? Need to do some research on this as well..

add to this the power consumption by the processor, radio (must be the largest share) etc and the gains may be minimal.

About the earphones, it's great. It's loud and the SQ is good too. Add to that Dolby & SRS Surround sound, it's great for watching movies :)

Hey Clever, when are you planning to buy this? I am very keen on the Desire especially after the price drop.
Will it breach the sub-20k mark?

Also managed to check out the HTC Desire HD. The phone looked brilliant. Felt good in the hand and was running on 2.2. The battery rating is a bit low at 1200 odd mAh and no AMOLED screen either.

Anyone using a HTC Desire HD here? If yes can you rate the phone's battery life? With moderate to heave usage will it last 1 full day atleast?
Also there are a few last pieces left here and there of the Galaxy S. Does it make sense to pick one up now at 27k? Or rather choose between Nexus S and Desire HD?

I waited almost a month for SGS, alas its not coming anymore.

Need help in deciding between HD and Nexus S. Is it worth waiting for Nexus or shall I go with HD ?

Thanks Prateek, I read those reviews.
And err, I meant earpiece speaker :-) from where you can hear the person calling :-)

What's all these fuzz about Desire HD? What makes it so different than Desire? Desire HD has LCD screen but Desire has S-LCD screen. Is it really worth paying that extra for Desire HD?
