This is what GSM Arena has to say about the keyboard on the DZ:

The brilliant keyboard has great ergonomics, well spaced buttons with excellent press. The four-row layout is of great help here: the keys are big enough to handle comfortably. Two Function keys and two Shift buttons (one under each thumb) are more than welcome. There are even two user-configurable keys. The top, which accommodates numbers too (no numpad layout here) is very easy to access, with more than enough headroom.

Sheik, my phone is behaving extremely weird.

First I started getting one FC after the other, I restarted but it refuses to start and I get

uids on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable

I saw someone say that I should fix the permissions and it can be done via adb using

adb shell fix_permissions

So I executed, the phone started to factory setting but I can't get a home screen and the fix_permissions is still running and getting tons of errors.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Doesn't look good bro. Restart the phone into recovery and run teh fix permissions command again. It usually takes like 5-10 mins to fix all permissions. If that doesn't work, you'll need to wipe and install a ROM again.

 

[JCK]

I restarted normally now but it is taking forever.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Maybe it's time to wipe it then.

 

[JCK]

Sheik, can you find me a ROM?

32A
Radio 6.35
AmonRA recovery

I would like a stock FroYo.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I'm a little busy at work. Mind if I do it in a about 3-4 hours?

 

[JCK]

Take your time, I wiped and flashed my CM6.1 again.

How is Nexus S?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

The Android Market has a good amount of free apps and paid apps too. If a country has paid apps, it'll have free apps too.

The Nexus S is a good phone too. But it has the stock Android interface, and not all people like that. It's up to you to test it and see if you like it.

 

[JCK]

I love the stock Android, is the Nexus S better than Nexus One?

In a few regards... yes. Newer Android version, though N1 should get it soon. Hardware-wise, NS has more internal memory, NFC chip, better screen. I just don't like it cos it's from Samsung.

Tricorder is still the best android app ever

I've had it since the G1 back in '08

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

What does it do?

Have you ever seen Star Trek TNG?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Nope.

Sheik, I noticed something strange.

I wiped everything and re-flashed, it got me to factory settings. Then all of a suddent I got all my apps back and the phone said blabla apps restored successfully.

Why is that?

Starting from 2.2, Google backs up the apps that you install, so that when you log into a new phone using your Google account, it syncs all the apps back into the phone. Quite a nifty feature. The only reason I don't use it is cos it doesn't backup the application data. This is something that Titanium Backup\MyBackup Pro does.
