Re: [android-developers] Phone for development
I agree with that review. As I already said in the set of devices I have available, that one's my 'favorite'. A couple of my colleagues have one for personal use as well and are very happy with it. BTW, there's also a revamped 'S' version of the desire which is a gingerbread device. It's probably a bit more expensive than the regular desire though.

Re: [android-developers] Phone for development
Thanks guys. Kostya, we are talking about the RAM. I turned the task killer of as you mentioned it might interfere but it has not helped. Any more ideas?

If it's having trouble doing that on your phone, perhaps something is interfering? Perhaps it's the task killer, as weird as that would sound? Perhaps there is some kind of weird interaction with the development process (repeated reinstalls, etc.). If we're talking about internal storage, perhaps there is an application that aggressively fills up storage with something? You could try and find out if that's the case by using Android's built-in Settings | Applications screen, which reports internal storage amounts used by applications.

Re: [android-developers] Phone for development
One of my phones (HTC Hero) has just a little bit more RAM than your LG Optimus, and I never had any trouble developing with it. And to repeat - killing applications and freeing RAM is something Android always does. If there is a problem with that, that would be a major screw-up by the manufacturer (firmware developer). You might want to look for a user-oriented forum where your phone is discussed, which should be a better place to discuss specific issues affecting your device. -- Kostya 27.04.2011 14:07, Raghav Sood пишет: Thanks guys.

RE: [android-developers] Phone for development
Here is engadgets review of the desire. http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/01/htc-desire-review/ Accoding the the last section called Wrap-up the first paragraph reads: The Desire is yet another fine piece of work from HTC - build quality is top notch as usual, and there's little to complain about the software except for the Flash performance. Some may argue that the Desire lacks freshness since the Nexus One's already shown it all, but we'd disagree - at the end of the day it's mainly about the software and http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/09/google-starts-live-phone-support-to-nexu s-one-owners/ service, plus the Desire is available from more carriers to begin with (outside the US, anyway). If I were looking into buy the phone given the review I wouldn't feel bad about buying it, but that's me.

One of my phones is the HTC Aria I use for development and my main personal phone.. Great phones. An example.. My wife threw a pair of paints at me as hard as she could (we were playing around she wasn't trying to kill me) but she didn't know my HTC was in my pocket. Well the pants missed me by a mile(probably b/c she is a girl J) and hit the oak bed back.. I heard the phone hit and just assumed the phone was trashed. It hit really hard. The only thing that happened was the case popped off. No cracks. no breaks. Phone still works like it did when it was knew..

Still can someone suggest a reasonably priced android 2.2 or above phone? Thanks Since no one's giving you any advice I'll give it a try ;) The dev phones I use myself are Motorola Milestone XT720, HTC Desire, Samsung Galaxy S and a Google Nexus S; one for each OS revision. I know these are all high-end devices, but I can try to extrapolate my experience with those. Objectively, they're all fairly similar for development purposes. I don't use these phones for anything besides testing so I can't comment on any Android customizations each vendor might have made. Subjectively, I prefer the HTC the most in terms of feel and build quality. HTC seems to do a pretty good with their OS updates as well and they actually use OTA updates rather than requiring some buggy proprietary tool. If you stick with HTC the only model they seem to have in the 230 euro / Rp. 15000 price range is the wildfire. The wildfire is listed in Belgium at 229 euro and the wildfire S at 289 euro. The first one is a Froyo device, the second one Gingerbread. I don't know about the specific Samsung model you mentioned, but the Galaxy and Nexus are pretty good too FWIW. The only downsides to Samsung IMO is that you have to use Kies to perform upgrades which can be a pain and they feel rather flimsy, plasticy. The HTC has a sturdier feel to it.

Hi, Thanks for the replies. I would love a Nexus phone but I am 13 years old and in india its a little expensive for me. My optimus works fine except it has started losing RAM very fast.

That's not a huge issue. You still have 220mb avail for running apps. my original droid usually runs with 64mb free and I don't notice any issues.. If you are worried about the ram have you tried ATK(Advanced Task Killer)? I love it personally and it does a great job at keeping things running especially if you set up the auto-kill feature every hour or so.. Have you considered buying a used phone off ebay?

Re: [android-developers] Phone for development
Hi its 220 mb after 48 hrs. By the end of 5-6 days its down to 80mb and then the phone starts to hang frequently.Advanced Task killer doesn't help much. I did consider ebay but in India sometimes the used goods turn out to be barely working. If you could suggest a good android phone running atleast froyo for less than Rs. 15000 I would be happy.

Re: [android-developers] Phone for development
If we are talking about RAM (as opposed to internal storage), well, Android kills processes and frees memory as needed. If it's having trouble doing that on your phone, perhaps something is interfering? Perhaps it's the task killer, as weird as that would sound? Perhaps there is some kind of weird interaction with the development process (repeated reinstalls, etc.). If we're talking about internal storage, perhaps there is an application that aggressively fills up storage with something? You could try and find out if that's the case by using Android's built-in Settings | Applications screen, which reports internal storage amounts used by applications. Too many perhapses, perhaps, but perhaps they're worth checking out? -- Kostya 26.04.2011 22:23, Tommy ?: Hm, That sucks about ATK not working very good for you I can't remember the last time I turned my phone off because of memory issues...
