H HarleyM Member Licensed User Longtime User Apr 24, 2011 #22 HTC Desire (Bravo) I've been very impressed with my HTC Desire particularly with the support it has on the XDA forums which have enabled the ROM to be be upgraded to gingerbread & effectively doubling the performance (as reported by Quadrant benchmark) It has enabled me to develop a data-logging & data entry application that I use daily at the powerstation I work at. I followed this up with VBA scripts to automatically update an SQL server with it's data & now I've recently been given approval to roll it out for the rest of my colleagues, with an approved budget to purchase Galaxy tabs (7") which I will be adapting it for. All in all I've been really impressed with the ease in which I've been able to develop using B4A & get this all up & running on the Desire. Hopefully the Samsung Galaxy Tabs will allow me to continue this trend. Many thanks to Erel & the other members of his support team for all their efforts. :sign0098:

dealsmonkey Active Member Licensed User Longtime User May 2, 2011 #23 Been using the emulator for screen layout design, the B4a Bridge with my HTC Desire for testing the app. I found this setup very quick and easy.

J jschuchert Active Member Licensed User Longtime User May 2, 2011 #24 Thanks for your input. I don't really need a phone, per se (my wife and I, together use less than 1000 mins/year on our cells), but only a device for testing. My son-in-law let me use his Cricket phone for a couple of hours and it filled the bill. However, I don't want to be tied into a contract. I have looked on ebay and there are some advertised used 'no contract' phones but not too cheap. The one that interested me ($75) won't take returns. I have used a borrowed Galaxy Tab and it worked great. I am also looking at other tablets but thought the phone size would be more realistic for potential users of my app. Jim

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 10, 2011 #40 V1.5 will not support future libraries that will use features only available in Android 3.x. However Android 3.x is not so different than Android 2.x, and it doesn't include many new features. Anyway, V1.6 will be released in about one week.
