[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnydopemsr:
anyone jump ship from att to verizon with buying this phone feel out of place? I guess i do being i have been a nexus one and S user and having the freedom to do whatever i want on the S kinda got me spoiled. but yet i still feel out of place like verizon is not what i should have. I'm in northern Indiana hour from chicago and so far pretty okay service. though i can't complain since the S had edge only for me. but it just does not sit well with me. anyone else out there in the same boat kinda on feeling out of place or something. or anyone can give me some upside to this jump and help me stay on verizon?

walk in your concrete basement and laugh because you still will have reception
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosympathy:
If you are talking about how "tied" down the rom is, you'll need to root and wait for a rom to come out to fix that. Virus has a rom he said he is going to release tonight that will be completely sense free.

They are already working on porting CM7, which is currently GB 2.3.3, to the Tbolt, so we might even have that in a few days.

I assume these are the freedoms you are talking about, cause you can have them on the Tbolt, soon as a dev releases them.

I'm on the opposite side of the fence... I am in downtown Denver where AT&T is notorious for dropped calls, or getting no connection whatsoever with full bars (during crowded events such as baseball games, parades, heavy traffic jams, etc.).

As of right now I'm wondering why I haven't been on Verizon all these years. Granted, I'm a little spoiled by the superb 4G coverage in Denver - and I have yet to test VZW's 3G stability in the outskirts - but I really couldn't be any happier.

Thank you VZW!!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogatyr:
The Nexus 1 and Nexus S were exceptions for ATT as they were Google dev/backed devices. Look at any other Android they offered and you would not think you had freedom. So jumping to Verizon has little to do with that.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosympathy:
or I could have AT&T and be able to travel to europe, but in the U.S. drop phone calls like charlie sheen drops money on drugs. :D

LOL, that's a good one. Luckily I don't have dropped calls yet. Maybe because I don't use an iPhone;-)

I have seen a few others mention this, any idea on why some of us are loosing 10% of our battery when we reboot?

I'm thinking next full charge, I will do a battery stats erase in clockwork recovery.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lp4261:
It seems like every time I reboot I lose at least 5% battery.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosympathy:
same here.

has anyone else noticed that this phone takes ForEVER to charge? My evo would nearly fully charge in an hour and a half, I think my Tbolt, first real charge, took 3 hours.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbh87:
Ive never had a phone charge that fast so its def not specific to the Tbolt.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosympathy:
yeah my iPhone 4 would go from 15-20% to full in maybe 2 hours, on a bad day, and my evo would go from 20% ish to full in an hour and a half.

Guess I am just a little spoiled maybe.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinien:
The phone might do a "quick" charge to 80 - 90 percent, and then go into a trickle charge. I can get to the mid 80s in a couple of hours but then is slows down after that, which is a good thing.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan0matic:
I'm seeing the same thing as far as loosing 5-10% on a reboot. Seems like there are still some issues with the battery life on this big guy.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] two_cents:
wait you can unplug your phone? j/k

the boot time stock is way too long... the system is loading so much junk it takes alot out of the battery... my guess is checking all the radios and such uses alot of battery and thats why the phone has the fastboot option

Its also better to charge with a car charger or in the wall. USB in pc does take forever if you are noticing it takes longer this could be a reason.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imex99:
I was going to post this, very annoying to lose that much battery on reboot. On my evo you would gain charge while rebooting on the charger...

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammondnav:
This is true. If I recall correctly, according to USB spec a device can draw about 100mA from a USB port without negotiation. With proper negotiation, the current draw can go as high as 500mA.

The stock HTC charger is rated at 1A (1000mA). So at least on paper, the wall charger is twice as fast as a USB port with proper installation. If negotiation is unsuccessful, the wall charger can be 10x faster than a USB port that isn't properly detecting the phone.

I am a teen only. I am 14 Yrs old.... SO what you want to say. Previous post was written by my stupid friends, to downgrade my reputation.
[HD2 General] backlashsid:
lmaao.......:D:D:D:D
[HD2 General] apallohadas:
Ok, if you want honest feedback, you could take what you have written already and update it to more current matters.

Your review of the android section doesn't really 'flow' smoothly. No one is really 'coming' with the OS, they're making devices that 'Use' different versions. You should really say that and maybe even talk about the differences in the versions.

Don't bother talking about IDEOS or Micromax.

Your review of WinMo 6.5 is strangely phrased and your review of Win7 just inaccurate.

I would say scrap all 3 reviews and start fresh. And not say 'Super OS' as the title.

Not trying to be mean, but I'm sure you can write better than this.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
I will not say much as other post have already given you some good advice. What I do want to say and try to educate you on is, please do not get confused. Windows Mobile and Windows Phone 7 are not the the same OS. Windows Mobile 6.5 is the last in the line of Windows Mobile releases. Windows Phone 7 is Microsofts completely new OS that they released to try to better compete with Andriod as Windows Mobile is more a busness man's oriented and tech head oriented OS. There is 100% no reverse compatibility with anything Windows Mobile be it apps or whatever from Windows Mobile to Windows Phone 7 as they are both written with different code and have different structure. So you see the only thing they have in common is the are both Microsoft products but that is it. So when you talk about them do not call Wndows Phone 7 Windows Mobile 7 as it is not.
[HD2 General] Robson:
my thoughts as the chaps above have given you fantastic advice:

- scrap all 3 reviews and start fresh. i assume that you have played around extensively with all 3 extensively (wm6.5, wp7 and android)? my suggestion is for you to google the reviews for each and compare your own experiences

- the reviews you gave for all 3 are jumping all over the place in terms of topics covered.

- each was given a 9.5 rating out of a possible 10 yet the reviews show negativity in certain features?

- the reviews don't go deep enough and are barely scratching the surface

no offense mate but if your friends did say the reviews were bs they could be reflecting what others think as well.

with that, don't go about and revise your reviews asap. take your time. read more on the experiences of other people and compare what you have seen when playing around with the devices. once you get a better picture, go for it.

he says "I am an IT Professional and a software developer(Windows)"...

=====================================================

Hello Friends,

I have a question for all of the mobile developers. You might think I'm Joking. But its Serious. Is there any way to run android apps(2.1-2.3) in HTC HD2(Leo) which is running Windows Mobile? Many People Say 'NO'. But emulation of any OS is possible. We all thought that we can run PS2 games only on Sony Playstation 2 but we were proved wrong by PCSX2 by launching first PS2 Emulator. So I want to know is there any emulator by which I can run android apps on my HTC HD2? Its difficult but I think XDA Developers can make this type of emulators. It will also help thousands of people. I am an IT Professional and a software developer(Windows) but i don't know about developing apps for mobile. Otherwise would have made/wrote android apps in WM language/scripts. Some News also came that there are certain Converters which can convert Android Apps into J2ME or WM apps. I need a solution to this problem.

Regards,

Arun

========================================

i'd take backlashsid's advice in post # 12 above....
[HD2 General] themegastar1:
Can A teen not be IT Professionalist, or a Software Developer. I have created a browser, toolbar and other things so far. I know C++, What do you think, Kids can't do anything?

As I said in that forum/thread, I will create android emulator. And I am creating it now. Currently I study in G.S.Convent, and my exams have ended on 9th March 2011, and my new session begins on 1st April 2011, So What. I have just got to 9th Class. You should take out this from your mind that kids can't do anything. Search for Arun Wadhwa or Themegastar1 or Arun Themegastar1 and you will get all information about me. Please don't hurt any child's feeling. If you don't like the review, don't see my other reviews or don't comment, why are you not doing anything(writing review) and complaining.

[QUOTE If you don't like the review, don't see my other reviews or don't comment, why are you not doing anything(writing review) and complaining.[/QUOTE]

mate

- i did comment in page 1 of this thread and gave my own point thoughts

- i don't do reviews because i'm more than happy with my current hd2 android set up. i'd rather read the more helpful reviews of other members to get their tips and advise. not threads which are, as others have said, bs

- i don't go around starting threads stating which is the best os and i have answers to all the questions

- didn't say kids can't do anything. you made that assumption. for a "software developer" your reviews barely contained any technical details related to the field

- you're comparing credentials now? i'm the vp of quality in a firm engaged in developing programs, interfaces, software, scripts, xmls, etc, etc and more etc. i work for the government and they pay me what they pay me because they know i have the skills that enables me to successfully do my thing.

- i could probably develop a rom or an emulator or whatever related to android or wm or wp. the reason i don't is because there are gurus in this forum who do a better job than me. there are dudes in this forum who give better reviews and i listen to them.

this is a total waste of time. outta here dude. have fun.

Here's my review :D

Windows Phone 7:

It is a new OS. Microsoft come up with this OS. This OS has blue tiles in the main screen, but you can change other colors too. It is a new OS so not many apps for the OS. Microsoft made this OS after 6.5. Some people call it Windows Mobile 7 which is wrong. WP7 is short for Windows Phone 7.

The OS still needs development which will take time for Microsoft. Big companies like LG is having WP7 on there phones. Small companies do not know what WP7 is. WP7 has many apps but all are not good. Only some apps are good.

-------------------------------------

Android:

Android is made by Google. Its also an exciting OS.Because Google is big people think Android is big. Android has many apps and is very popular among school kids because they use Google voice and messenger to chat in class while the professor is teaching. Big companies do not like Android because people are chatting while the CEO meeting is going on. Android has many apps which are good. One app is Google Search which allows you to search on Google everything you want including better Android review than mine. Android has bad user interface but HTC made a new User Interfaece called HTC Sense. Sense because people have common sense so HTC thought everyone will like Sense. But companies like Motorola have their own version of screen. Android sometimes hangs a little.

Windows Mobile 6.5

Very good OS.

Windows Mobile 6.5 is Microsofts OS which came many years ago. This is a very popular OS because many people use it. Even the God of cellphones the HD2 uses it.Windows Mobile 6.5 has bad user interface and bad apps. Marketplace doenst have nice apps and this makes the OS really bad. However with WM6.5 you can use apps like SPB Mobile shell to change the look and make it better. You can also use Coreplayer to watch movies. Windows Mobile 6.5 phones have bad hardware and less storage and RAM. People nowadays like more RAM and memory so WM6.5 is no good.

right matey :)

if you wanna unroot then follow this :)

INFO AND OPTIONS FIRST

beware while your rooted dont flash or update the stock software with s-off as you may brick the device, once your unrooted and s-on you can use the system update and flash stock roms.

if you wanna stay rooted but have all the system updates and a stock rom i recommend virtuous roms

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=837042

you will need to download rom manager from the market place, then you can get clockworkmod, do a nandroid backup of your current stock rom, flash virtuous rom, see how it is :)

[G2 and Desire Z General] leehopley:
in the rom manager it will tell you when there is a update and you can choose to download and update whilst saving your data and settings. its great :P or as some would say... its the dogs bollocks! lol

i truelly recommend keeping it rooted, make sure you have s-off by taking out the battery, replacing the battery, hold the vol down key and press the power button (keep holding the vol down until a white screen appears. on the top line make sure it says s-off. if it doesnt, please follow the rooting guides i gave you in my first post.

download rom manager from market, flash clockwork mod... you can choose g2 it will work for desire z and g2.

once flashed use rom manager to perform a nandroid backup

download virtuous using rom manager and choose to wipe data and cache

(dont worry your nandroid backup will store everything, its a bit like taking a picture of your current rom and saving it.)

then your phone will reboot into clockwork mod and install virtuous.

enjoy :)

please donate to rom manager if you like it

a few other apps i recommend are titanium backup... extremely usefull!!!!
