I've been using my boring but extremely durable Nokia N73 for the last 5 years or so, but when the 3MP camera on it finally broke after literally hundreds of hits to the floor I decided to finally invest in a new phone.
Video recording has always been a key feature to me.. so I was really shocked when I found out that many high-end phones lack the ability to pause & resume while recording. Which is ridiculous as almost every old phone had it. For example the almighty Galaxy S2 lacks this feature.
Someone happen to know exactly why this is? .. And more importantly, could you guys please tell me which modern phones DO have this ability?
Thank you in advance!
Oh c'mon guys.. any sort of information on this matter would greatly help me decide what phone I should get.
Does YOUR phone has this little (but for me vital) feature and if so, what phone are you using?
If there's a pause function or not depends on the app that does the video recording, not the hardware it runs on. Best check the market if there's any app that supports it.

hi,
i have had 2 touchscreen cell phones that have bad the "ghost screen problem".
the screen becomes non responsive where you touch and sometimes when you touch a certain spot (icon) it responds somewhere else.
i am going insane trying to find an explanation to this issue!
could a techie/expert/electronic cell phone engineer explain this to me? please? i beg you!!!
i have made a video of my cell phone acting up and posted it on youtube. sorry i explained the video in portuguese... but you can still probably understand the video!
i cant post links yet... so... see my video under my username: emailyarabrandao (youtube.com/watch?v=j4l9PZJFe-Q)
i have tried everything: i am running stock android froyo, nothing is installed and i have done a hard reset. i have taken the battery off, it happens with the usb connected and not connected. i have tried another oem usb cable and even connected the darn phone to 3 different computers running different windows os systems. and no i am not using a screen protector. the screen is clean and i even have washed my hands before touching the darn screen.
like i said before, this has happened to two cell phones of mine! a htc g1 and a motorola droid 2.
i did some research on youtube and found various videos of people with the same problem. as i understood it is a touch screen issue, it happens in various makes and models of cell phones.
i thank you kindly for your time in reading this post! i hope you can help me understand this issue! thank you.
Didnt see the vid since i cant click on it. But if u are using dual touch on a phone with a cross axis issue it would do that.
If not and its single touch i guess its a faulty screen since u did mention the screen and ur hands are clean. (Water on the sceen can ccause that too btw.)

^hummm... you spoke greek to me here; "But if u are using dual touch on a phone with a cross axis issue it would do that.".
can you be more specific?
i guess i should have mentioned on my 1st thread what phones i had. my 1st touchscreen phone was a HTC G1 and the other was a Motorola Droid 2.
but as i mentioned above, i have seen various videos on youtube from other users too.
the vids are not specific to make and model, they are all random.
i thank you for your response.
please... any help on this???
i cant find enough material on the net to help me understand the "ghost screen issue"... the inner workings of it...
thank you in advance!
bumping this up, hoping some high tech peep would help me understand this issue!
anyone knows anything in regards to my 1st post/question on this thread?
i really would like to hear some high tech guys on this touch screen issue!
thank you in advance!
hi everone,,,
So a couple of months ago I purchased my first android phone (my nexus) to specifically root and flash. I tried many roms and have had a jolly good time here at xda.
Now here is the small dilemma that I'm facing with all this new found knowledge of rooting phones. Ever since I rooted my gfs inc2, she goes around telling everyone that her bf(me) is the one to call for smartphone tech.
Yesterday I just rooted and flashed miui on her coworkers Droid 2 global. Btw that phone was a ***** to work on, I had to go to read like 5 different forums to get the corrects steps to flash gb roms.
And now just today my gf is asking me if I could jailbreak her brothers new iPhone 4.
Yeah I'm in no way mad about people asking me for help but I guess I'm now the phone guru that everyone relies on. I do enjoy working on different phones, and flashing roms are always fun.
I'm wondering if anyone else on xda has turned into the go-to-guy for smart phone related tech?

Yes.
I have been in this position. Mostly due to my root and rom changing need. Always people asking me to jailbreak their iphone/ipod (Easy if you ask on google, aye?) Currently I am on ICS(Android 4.0) on Samsung Galaxy S2.
Thanks for your time.
Currently owner of sensation but i do want a galaxy nexus because i am an app developer. But thn i see rumors like htc edge witch looks even more awesome.
What to freakin do: D
sent from Sensation with awesome cm7!!!!
Senny isnt bad, if you really like the Galaxy Nexus and can afford it, then go get it, its a nice piece of work, the screen rocks!
You'll be ok with the Senny though, so maybe you can wait for more time, new phones come everyday, if you like something, then take it, or you can wait for something even nicer(quad-core! )
Although, having ics out of the box is a plus point, and as you tell you are an app dev, so it'll help you make newer and better apps, but your phone would get an official update soon.
There is ALWAYS something better just around the corner, you could just wait forever for the next best phone and never buy anything!
wait for galaxy s3

Always get the Nexus. New hardware comes out every month but only the Nexus will run the latest stable version of Android on day one. As a consumer that's great but as a developer that's essential. Plus Sense on Honeycomb is crap and will probably be just as much on ICS.
Hallo XDA-Devs,
my little brother is looking for an androidphone right now.
He wants to spend around 200 euros/ 250 dollars.
What phone would you advice him to buy?
Pls help!

Why not an abbonement phone.. most good phones are over 500..
$250?
I would recommend...maybe a Samsung Vibant? It's smooth and a nice phone.
or even the next step up from that one which would be the samsung galaxy s 4g another nice model with front facing camera so you can have a phone that will potentially get the ics update and you will be able to use the face unlock feature
Hmm...doesn't the Galaxy S2 cost a lot?
Xiaomi is also a better choice
big thx to you all!
i would also be pleased of more posts
Are we talking bought straight, no contract etc?...Since there are some really good deals on the new Motorola Razr (or Droid Razr depending on where you are). And I can't stop lovin that phone! droooool.
here are some issues of nexus s apart from it who think that it is a best android mobile ???
Main disadvantages:
No microSD slot
No 720p video recording
All-plastic body, fingerprint magnet
No DivX and XviD support (no actual video player) out of the box
No dedicated camera key and no lens cover
No FM radio
No smart dialing
Overly expensive for its feature set
@ kolen: this phone seems to be really well! but where to buy it in germany? are there any importeurs? thx for your reference
Looking to get an Android soon (early April 2012 Latest).
My only reason for getting it is to run 2 apps at the same time. The Eye-Fi app, which will connect to handheld camera via direct wi-fi mode, and transfer pics in real time to the Android. Each pic - 1.2 - 5 MB.
2nd App - Camerasync or some equivalent, which will resize pics as they arrive in the camera roll, and upload to FTP/Dropbox/Flickr, etc.
Running these both on iPhone 4 triggers one of the apps to close, due to memory/processing issues.
So, my desire is to get a dual-core or quad-core Android, and use it for this.
Would you guys have any suggestions for a device used primarily for this purpose?
Notes:
Battery life not an issue, will be working with multiple charge packs throughout the day.
Would prefer 4g.
Would prefer Verizon, USA.
Would prefer a SD slot so I can swap out 32gig cards.
Want to make sure the dual core is actually functioning, that having a DC chip will enhance this process. I've read repeatedly that dual/quad cores on the phones don't do much because no apps are designed to tap into their functionality.
Any feedback appreciated. Thanks!
Get a Nexus from Verizon. Top notch specs. Should do exactly what you're looking for.
If that doesn't do it for you, list your options.
just for closure....
