[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
That's true. And I'm sure the innovation of the iPhone would have come eventually even if Apple hadn't done it first. But my take on the industry is and was that it didn't want it to come so soon. The innovation of the iPhone was way too rich for the market as the industry saw it. Here's a simplistic example of what I mean: I sometime like to water down a gallon of orange juice just to make it go further. It still has the tang I love and all, but it isn't the rich-in-pure-oranges product I started out with, it is diluted with water. That is what the market likes to do. If the industry creates something really good, the bean counters like to stretch it out...squeeze it for all it's worth. They like to make much more out of it than what it was suppose to be rather than giving the consumer something drenched in pure richness. To the bean counters, it's a waste or fiscal resources.

Apple happened to give the consumer 100% pure fresh-squeezed orange juice in the iPhone. They were the first to do it. Now the whole market is trying to rationalize doing the same thing. Here's an example, though, of how the industry still would rather cut corners: The HTC Desire HD/Inspire 4G is listed to have a "Super" LCD. Well...according to what HTC is saying now that there have been a lot of complaints that declare it isn't true S-LCD tech is saying that is simply what they are calling the large display, a "Super" sized LCD, rather than the true, rich goodness of an S-LCD that provides the quality the iPhone 4 has.

The industry's true goal, if they could get away with it, would be to charge the maximum for the least amount. In other words, they would take all of our money and give us nothing in return. Thankfully no industry or comapny can get away with that.

I think I read about some WM devices with VGA resolution back in 2005... Anyway, it's true WM didn't support capacitive touch screen well.

Actually I think WM6 is more likely to be a WM5.5, since hardware tech was very much limited at WM5's time, it's not strange WM6.5 does not support 24bit color or some other cool stuff.

[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
IE7.5 in WP7 is as close to useless as IE6 was on WM6.5.

There are blog postings on i.e. TechCrunch and others that just load and then go to a blank screen with pinstripes on them. This is why I have no choice but to doublefist my Vibrant. The WP7 device is a great media player (with a headset), but it falls flat on its face in almost every other category.

A lot of people tend to be giving opinions based on what's coming, or what deficiencies they, themselves, are okay with dealing with for almost a year before this thing becomes wholly usable.

People considering a phone rignt now want to know what's good not. Not what's good in 6 months. Phones and phone contracts are NOT cheap.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
I've never had the stock Android Email (not Gmail) client crash on me in my Vibrant, nor have I had any performance issues with it.

Are we using the same definition of robust?

The WP7 email client is certainly stable, but it's certainly not a very rich client due to the lack of features many have come to expect from using other devices/OSes.

As Mail Arrive only works for ActiveSync accounts.

[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Blackberries offload the polling to BIS servers which poll at a 15 minute interval and push the mail to your device when one arrives. For POP3 accounts. For IMAP the push is almost instant. So you're wrong.

But the mail client on Blackberries is embarassing, so those benefits are met with deficits that just aren't acceptable unless you text message via email, Lol.

I don'teven have the patience to read through this page... It's crazy...
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Yeah, there was one that I remember. It was from HP and had a 640x480 (VGA) resistive display. It was merely a PDA and was super expensive...at the time. But the only other devices available with higher res than the common WM devices were the Palms. The non-phone Palms had 480x320 and 320x320 displays. The only phone Palm sold at that time had a maximum of 160x160 display...the Palm Treo 600. The first WM Palm phone had a res of 240x240, and it was a Treo...the 650, I think it was. But Palm already had the 320x320 displays in the later Treos.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
In addition to the low res displays the phones also tended to not support anything more than 65k colors.

Most WM phones were QWERTY devices wiht small screens, though, so the resolution wasn't really an issue. HVGA or even QVGA on a screen that small doesn't lead to any issues. It became an issue when they started releasing more touch screen WM devices, however.

HVGA is decent up to around 2.8 inches. WVGA is good til about 4", but I don't think I'll ever buy another phone with a display above 4" that doesn't have a qHD resolution display - even if the LCD panel is better (i.e. 4.3" WVGA SAMOLED+ vs. a 4.3" qHD SLCD... I'll go with the SLCD in a heartbeat).
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Try watching a video on a 240x240 display. The screens were small, like 2"x2" square, but the WM versions still showed highly visible pixels. Going to a 320x320 Palm res was like going to high resolution. The media and users complained about the never-changing low res screens of WM devices but they still never changed.

[Thunderbolt General] TRU3L3GEND:
Had to return my thunderbolt due to stuck power button and excessive peeling of the kickstand. I received a new one to find the screen having a big lip between the edges of the screen and shell. My first one was probably 90% flush and nothing like the replacement. Its also very loud and sounds like cheap hollow plastic when rubbed across. I had them open two more and they were both the same.

I guess they are supposed to have that huge lip between the screen? I liked not having it on my first one and now a bit disappointing about it.

[Nook Color General] Geniusdog254:
I just about tore my hair out looking for this the other day. It's actually a super-simple, but not so obvious fix.

You'll need the /system/bin/bootanim from a stock B&N device. Just place that in /system/bin, and delete the bootanimation.zip from /data/local or wherever it is on a B&N install, and when you reboot you'll have the stock animation. Magical.

it's pretty funny that you post that because I discovered this on my own today (in a backhanded kind of way). My question now is how to get it off of the stock device. Doesn't nooter automatically overwrite it?

you can "adb pull /where/the/file/is" from your computer right?

I primarily want a Ereader to read books.

I almost feel that you can do all the same things with your evo that you can do with the transformer.

games, pictures, videochat, email, facebook, watch movies.

Mainly I see the pros to get it is.

Bigger screen: better for movies and ereader

Keyboard: document editing, emails

Battery life: is the main reason for me.

I like the idea of a tablet but I have a laptop and a evo.

Pros over a netbook/ laptop that the transformer has is easier ereading and battery life, and portability "weight."

How will we tether Evo with Eee Transformer?

I also have an Evo and plan to get the Transformer when its released here in the US.

How do you guys plan to tether the transformer to our Evo?

I have been searching around for a solution, and so far my findings.. is to use the Bluetooth. Found an application called pdanet that will enable BT DUN in the Evo (without the need to root the Evo, or subscribe to the Sprint tethering plan).

But will the Transformer support BT DUN? I read somewhere, they said Honeycomb only supports BT PAN instead of BT DUN.

Any other ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Directions for this phone don't exist yet I don't think. You're best option is use the nexus one directions which are step by step very thorough, but you'd have to use the thunderbolt repository instead for appropriate steps. It might take some work though.

I've compiled cyan for my nexus one and its very fun and rewarding. And you can play with the code, make your own changes and develop your own kernel, or your own personal ROM changes.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffjaslow:
Excuse me if this has already been presented in another thread, but I have not been able to find an answer to the following question.

I have a rooted htc hero with NFX-sprint Stock 2.32.651.2.ODEX.A2sd rom.

I am trying desperately to tether the bluetooth with my new honeycomb Xoom Wifi only with Wireless Tether.

I am able to get the Wireless Tether App to work, but I cannot get the Xoom Wifi only to give me a tethering option.

Has anybody with a rooted hero got the Xoom Wifi only version to tether with their HTC Hero. If so, what rom are you using and what did you do to get it to work. Again this is the Xoom Wifi only not the Xoom with 3g and Wifi (I guess there are some differences in the hardware and software).

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
Hero only broadcasts wifi in ad-hoc, check your settings on xoom. I don't have one, but maybe it's a simple fix? Otherwise if xoom has usb you could just wired tether.

don't look for a tether option.... start wireless tether on your hero , then open wireless settings on your xoom and look for the Android Tether wireless network and connect.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poashll:
I don't have the Xoom, but I do have the Archos 101 which is 2.2 not Honeycomb. I was able to bluetooth tether with the Wireless Tether App. I was using aospCMod 3/24. I have since changed ROMs and haven't tried to tether. I will do it this evening when I get home and document the steps I do to get it to work.

I am thinking that I paired the devices first before I did anything with the tethering. Then once I started the Wireless Tether App with Bluetooth I had to go into the tablet's wireless settings and select Bluetooth tether. I know it saved a lot of battery on my phone over tethering WiFi. The Archos doesn't have a GPS antenna and I was able to share the GPS too, which worked pretty slick.

I had tried several times with a few differnt ROM's with no success. I have to say....It's like night and day. I didn't know the hero could be so fast and handle so much.

This may help? I'm not a tech guy, just like having the ability to tether and do things my way. Don't know if all these steps are necessary.....but it's what worked for me.

1. Downlaoded and saved Cyanogen mod update-cm-7.0.2-Heroc-signed.zip from this link.

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/20126-cyanogenmod-7-for-the-htc-hero-cdma-v702-25-april-2011/

You will also need to download the google addon pack from that site and save it.......gapps-gb-20110307

2. From Rom Manager, (free version), I created a nandroid backup.

3. Mounted and saved that back-up to my computer, then deleted everything on my sd card and computer just to be safe.

4. Formatted and partitioned my sd card using rom manager, then did a hard boot.

5. Mounted copied update-cm-7.0.2-Heroc-signed.zip to sd card

6. Unmounted and installed rom from rom manager, cleared all catch data and rebooted

7. After reboot remounted and moved google add-on pack gapps-gb-20110307

to sd card...installed, rebooted.

8. After my reboot, set up mail and filled everything in, all my previous apps downloaded on there own. (You have to have online backup to do this or do it yourself)

9. Opened Wireless Tether and selected BT, Make device discoverable.

10. Select BT on Xoom and make device discoverable, scan for devices, and scan for devices on Hero

11. Once both devices are found hit pair on both after confirming codes

12. Once Paired you will see that they are paired but not connected.

13. Select the wrench icon to the right your device name on the Xoom

14. BINGO....the the tether option is finally an option.

15 Click on tether device.....This should now show that the devices are connected. Return to home screen on Xoom and go to browser to confirm

16. Put the Xoom down and go play with cm7

I had apex 1.4.1 on my Droid 2 and I had the green evolution theme on it. I went to reinstall the 1.4.1 so I would have it without the green theme because I had other mods to install to it. I did what I wanted to and then I rebooted, It was stuck at the apex boot screen which is extremely annoying and it kept replaying and the phone simply would not turn on. So I reluctantly wiped the phone. I start it normally and it shows the motorola logo and then the screen stays black. So I'm guessing there is literally nothing on the phone. When I go to bootloader, my computer recognizes it as an OMAP flash drive. I'm completely lost and I don't know if there is anything I can do to fix this. Can someone please help me? Thanks.

Also, before I ever attempt to root a device I've not rooted before, I always search and find a recovery method for that phone. In Motorola's Case, it is SBF files. In HTC's case, its RUU files.
