Mwas, 24 Jan 2012What is this gen 1 and 2 or cynogen 7.1?i want to buy the phone on friday and want to knw how ... morebeing Gen 1 or Gen 2 has to do with the memory layout of your blade ..you really don't need to know the details..what you need to know is how you can tell your blade is Gen 1 or Gen 2..Mr.pigfish will help you with that..that's an app in the android market..and how to convert.
converting to Gen 2 or going back to Gen 1 is an easy process..TPT is the recommended method to convert..all you need is to download some files that will help you do that and follow a few instructions..
cyanogen 7.1 is gingerbread custom rom for android phones..it is available for several phones including the blade..it is built by the cyanogen community..there are other Rome you can try like gingerstir fly,Swedish snow,fish and chips
.there are also froyo Roms like Swedish springs

stop lying to us..the mini has a ARmv6 processor just like the blade..adobe flash player(the one from adobe and in the android market) doesn't support arm v6..however there is a modified one that can run on armv6 processors..i have it and it works especially with dolphin browser..i don't see how flash player can make your phone faster ..lol..

stay with your mini with mediocre resolution
..yea.when you upgrade to another o.s it doesn't mean you can't downgrade to the stock o.s it came with for warranty purposes ..bet you didn't know that...am on a Gen 2 blade running cyanogen 7.1..it was originally a Gen 1 blade with v2.1 eclair..if i wanted to reset the phone as it were it would just take me at most 3 minutes
being Gen 1 or 2 doesn't have anything to do with the type of screen you have..as i said mine was a Gen 1 with a tft screen...and you are wrong
.orange Kenya sells the blades with Tft only..the OLED ones were the very first to come out..by then orange Kenya had not started selling the blade..
dial. *983*24474636# in the dialer - if "Glass"
is "Samsung" then your phone has an
OLED screen. "Lead" or "Truly" means you
have a TFT screen...try this on stock rom..i
if you are Gen 1 i suggest you convert to Gen 2 since most Roms now are for Gen 2..we also have Gen 3..you can still convert ..

What matters is getting rid of the installed orange garbage and installing a stable,clean, fast O.S. I installed Swedish Spring RLS5.

Anonymous, 20 Jan 2012Hello I am thinking of buying this phone on monday is it worth it? Am buying it in Kenya from ... moreThe San Franciscos in the Orange shops in Kenya are most likely all Generation 1 phones. These came with OLED screens. I have one and its great.
AMOLED is far superior and is not incorporated into cheap phones like San Francisco.

The galaxy mini is way much better except frm the screen,if u buy it in an orange shop(kenya)once you unlock it and upgrade to frayo or anyother then the warranty is void.its nt worth it.

Bought my ZTE Blade (Orange San Francisco) in August 2011, from the Orange shop. Worked a treat up until a few weeks ago, then the battery wouldn't charge. Ordered a new one, replaced. Still wouldn't charge. Ordered a new charger from Amazon. Still won't charge unless you leave it plugged in for over 24 hours (and yes I try it in different sockets, clean out the ports etc) Any help??

and can you really compare a Tft at 240 x 320 and one at 480 x 800..267 pixel density vs 127??
you must be very nocturnal if you're buying a phone to take photos in the evenings...haha..no offence intended..and by the way the camera quality of the blade improves a lot when its upgraded to froyo or gingerbread..

I don't know where you people are buying your blade..bought mine from orange shop at the gpo..came with 512mb of ram..am also very sure if it came with 256mb the extra 256mb is probably locked..you can use a patch to unlock it..who said the galaxy mini has better 3g?? check your specs properly..tft has its a
pros and cons..I would choose the blade over the mini anytime..that's why I bought..
I bought mine Gen 1 but now its Gen 2 running cyanogen 7.1(gingerbread 2.3.7)..already tried the alpha version of ICS..its promising..

since the ones in Kenya are tft screen, its much better to buy a samsung galaxy mini even though the screen is smaller (but still big) since it has better 3g speed,bluetooth technology,camera (during evenings) etc. Or does anyone think otherwise
