Been using a Commuter case for about a week now. I like it a lot. In my experience, GPS attenuation is very minimal. On average the GPS Status tool only takes a couple more seconds to lock than without the case. Just a personal preference for me is I cut off the rubber flap that covers up the usb/mic/headphone jack area. This area of the phone is recessed within the case so there looks to be little chance of damage in this area without the flap.
[HTC Inspire 4G] elijahblake:
i think that flap is there to keep dust out more so than protecting against a drop
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Yes, which is exactly why I'm not too worried.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Numpangx:
If anyone still wants one theres a few left on amazon.com. Ive been using the case for about a week now and its totally awesome. I put on the screen protector it came with and it feels smooth. For some odd reason since I've gotten my case I haven't dropped my phone once lol.
[HD7 General] lynxz3:
So i got the 7008 feb update, then i couldnt wait for the NoDo update and did the disconnect method to get the NoDo update and started seeing banding on my phone so i restored the phone back to the 7008 update through zune. And this was about 7 days ago or so, and so i keep checking Zune to see if i can get the official NoDo Update but i cannot see it. Anybody else facing the same problem? or Just the fact that they still haven't received the NoDo update
[HD7 General] jimbonics:
What you're "waiting" on is the same thing you got with the disconnect method. Waiting for your HD7 to tell you NoDo is ready isn't going to fix the color banding, unfortunately.

So, if you really want it, just do the disconnect trick again.
[HD7 General] lynxz3:
Thats what i suspected... I removed it cause i hoping that i would get the update again with the new HTC firmware upgrade. Ahh well thanks
[HD7 General] jimbonics:
There's apparently a reg hack fix for it, if you're willing to take that dive.

Haven't unlocked my phone though, so I'm no help as to how to access the registry.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbsavga:
I bought my tablet Sunday, and have been trying to install Clockworkmod for 3 days now. I follow the steps listed here and from videos in YouTube. I install recovery folder and update.zip to root, when looking at the recovery folder in windows explorer of the root folder on the tablet, there is a comand in the folder. But, when looking at the recovery folder with ES file explorer(?) there is nothing in the folder. I cannot get into clockworkmod when booting into recovery.

What am I doing wrong??

I have successfully rooted a HTC Aria (thanks to these forums) and my SE Experia X10a. But for god's sake, cannot figure out how to install ClockWorkMod on this tablet....
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archangel:
Not sure if this is in the right section but i used this to load clockwork. You should have two files on the root of your card, one recovery folder with a a command file in it and the update.zip to install when you boot into recovery and it can load clockwork. Hope it helps

any reviews?
[Xoom Accessories] DroidHam:
guess not mehhhh, hope its nice. Saw some on Ebay for like 1/2 the price, I wonder if they are fake
[Xoom Accessories] Zargon335:
PDAir stuff looks really nice, but is a little too expensive for me. Check out the shipping charges for the ebay ones, with shipping included they weren't much cheaper last time I looked.
[Xoom Accessories] Kcarpenter:
Yeah, I can't justify the cost of that.
[Xoom Accessories] DroidHam:
A friend of mine owes me a large sum of money from some sports betting. He sucks at giving me cash, but bought my Xoom for me and allows me to spend $$ on his paypal account, thats why I splurged, lol
[Xoom Accessories] Kcarpenter:
Splurge and get us all hookers? ;)
[Xoom Accessories] vzontini:
So far this is the best looking case I have seen. I sent an email to them asking for a picture of it in a "typing angle" but haven't gotten a response. I can see how the typing angle works on the version 1 but I'm not sure on the version 2.

If anyone here has this case maybe you can post a pic of the different angles not shown on the vendor website.
[Xoom Accessories] DroidHam:
i can when mine comes, next week i hope
[Xoom Accessories] frenzy757:
I am also interested in seeing more pics of the PDair. This is easily the best case I have seen (maybe the Zenus ones will be nice, but they are taking their time).
[Xoom Accessories] Alfahmad:
If the design is similar to others like kevikev case, then I would go for kevikev case ..

Would be interested if you have to insert your xoom upside down like kevikev or they invent a better idea !!
[Xoom Accessories] KerryG:
Upside down is a showstopper as I haven't found a DLNA-compatible video player that rotates when the XOOM is upside down.

Can you confirm if this upside down as well or no !!

Thnkx
[Xoom Accessories] DroidHam:
what do you mean? When its in landscape mode the speaker jacks on the top
[Xoom Accessories] polarized:
Whether you have it propped up in the landscape veiwing angle, or propped in the landscape typing angle, the screen remains with the vrz logo on top. I have only used it a little so far, but have not had a situation where I had to view the screen with vrz logo on the bottom. You do have to have the case open to access the charging port though. Or you can just insert the xoom upside down in order to expose the charging port while the case is closed. I think overall it was designed pretty well.

[Xoom Accessories] polarized:
Here are some pics I took of my Xoom in the PDair version 2 case. All pics were taken with the Xoom's Verizon logo on the top with the exception on the last one. On the last pic, I put the Xoom in the case upside down to show the access to the charging port with the case closed.

I have no complaints about this case at all.
[Xoom Accessories] vzontini:
Thanks for the great pics. Finally a shot of the product at a typing angle. Three emails to the manufacturer couldn't get one. That is an excellent looking case.
[Xoom Accessories] wayne710:
Thanks for the great pics! One other request......I use my Xoom a lot as an eReader in the portrait position. Someone stated that the PDair cover will fold back such that it actually makes it easier to hold in that postion. Could you please post a picture showing the cover in a completely folded back position?

Thank you!

As requested...

Looks good! Thanks for the pictures of the PDair folded completely back. It looks like it would work well while using the Xoom as a reader.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tweakos:
Hello everyone!

As we all know we have only 262k display colors .and this so sad.....But i think i found the way just a little improve our hd2.How? Ok just look at this two pictures:

The first one is original:

And this one is resaturated:

Of course on a PC it look wrong , but see it on hd2!!! It looks great (just tranfer the both pictures on your hd2 and compare)!!

Here are two more examples

And I thought - why this method does not apply to the rom?

And i did it. Of course to make such arms just commit suicide, because in rom about 15000 graphics files.Therefore specifically for such purposes, I wrote a program to automatically adjust images in the rom. Of course not all so rosy as it seems at first glance - some parts of the interface (how it happened for me) do not look as they should and there is a logical explanation - they have to edit manually, although they are quite suitable for automated processing of their "parameter". Some do not treat - the system becomes not working.I almost understood what exactly, but to understand the nature of such "intolerance" I have not yet succeeded.

The program still raw and needs refinement, but see the result of a fully automatic processing of the firmware you can now. As a basis took imilka inc s 1.1. Firmware works the same way as the original. There are weaknesses in some elements of the interface - as I already wrote such places must change hands.

This rom not for daily use.It`s just to see "how it looks".

If you interesting you download it, you flash it and give me your opinion to this topic.

Its this Windows better than other mobile OS?

Why?

Why I have to choose Win phone 7 instead of Android?

Can some one tell me please?

thanks
[Windows Phone 7 General] sylau90:
For me, one sentence will answer all...because we want to try something new and fresh.

However,the usability and satisfaction towards the OS or device are depends on your personal preference.

IMHO, I'm not really satisfied with this new OS,it is still in premature stage.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DatDereX1:
Much better user experience than WM and Android. More restrictions than both though, but most people aren't affected by this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
WP7 is smooth, clean and simple. It's generally very fast and elegant in operation. But right now it has bugs...at least for the pre-nodo devices. It currently lacks the higher-end hardware associated with the latest Androids and the iPhone, such as no front camera or dual-cpu. It doesn't use a plug & play expandable memory card...though you can expand the system memory with a little complexity on some devices...without voiding the warranty.
[Windows Phone 7 General] suhaimidee:
MO, its nice and fast with good apps. Big and easy to the eyes fonts.

But the weak point it gave you the feeling the phone is tied down as if you rent instead of owning it e.g. cant transfer documents to pc(not everyone have sharepoint),

no backups on anything(apps with user data or sms..anything) shud the phone needs to be reset or repaired.

If you are a patience type, then waiting for updates will not be an issue for you.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Well, if you're going to confuse User INTERFACE with User EXPERIENCE, than your post is correct. Unfortunately, you are confused. The Experience goes beyond the interface. I'm not going to put my huge list in yet another thread. I'll leave it at that.

@ OP:

In the end it depends on your requirements and how you use your phone. The way I'd rank them, depending on what you need most:

Phone/Battery Life: Nokia (Symbian) > Blackberry

Media: WP7 > iOS (Phones with Bigger Screens, Zune Pass/Zune, etc.)

Gaming: iOS > WP7 > Android (Too many Android games are of terrible quality/bug-riddled).

Browsing: Android > iOS (More Browser Choices, bigger screens, 4G devices, etc.)

Communication (SMS/MMS/IM/eMail and Business Communications): Symbian > Blackberry > Android (WP7 would be in last place here, IMO)

Business User: Windows Mobile > Symbian > Blackberry (BB loses points due to needing BES for decent Exchange support - WM gains points for supporting every Exchange Policy and having Office Mobile 2010)

If having Voice Nav is a huge thing than Android > Symbian > Windows Mobile

If you're an Appaholic: iOS > Android > Blackberry

Since I know where you're probably (even if secretly) coming from, I'll just cut to the chase here... WP7 isn't as good as Android. The User Interface is better and it performs better in many cases (this is device dependent, to a large degree), but the level of services integration in addition to the functionality drop-off going from Windows Mobile to Windows Phone 7 is just not good when compared to other platforms. Microsoft failed to capitalize on their Windows Live services with WP7 (billed as a consumer device) and then they failed harder by locking down the platform so tight that the development community can't even help them close these gaps.

WP7 is a necessary step forward for Microsoft, but the platform is Beta in functionality and Release Candidate in User Experience. From what has been coming out of Microsoft, it also seems like nothing more than a transition platform. Don't get it until Mango releases to all carriers if you are coming from iOS or Android. You never know what the functionality gap is until you actually use this device on a daily basis. Using it for 20 minutes in a carrier store is not enough.

However, for those moving up from a feature phone and don't really want all the extra fluff of a true smartphone OS, then WP7 may suite them well...
[Windows Phone 7 General] trixnix:
+1 on this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Well, I personally moved from a "true smartphone OS" (WM) to iOS to WP7 with a couple of brief stops with Android, and it suits me very well. Because I can do more with it, and better, including work (which for me is primarily communication via email and checking/quick editing office documents). While I will 200% agree that WP7 isn't a "PC in your pocket" in terms of power/flexibility/features by any stretch of imagination, and it isn't a business powerhouse, whether and how platforms fit your specific needs is what matters. Each platform has its own specific bugs or quirks which you may not notice at all or they can turn your phone ownership into hell.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Avandor:
You're going to have the "hate it"s and the "love it"s, with a good mix of fanboys in the middle, so my advice is to get an actual device in your hands and play a while with it.

Read about its features and current limitations and if it fits your needs, it has the apps you require and you enjoy it, take it... I know I did.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Actually, this is a crucially important piece of advice. As uniform as WP7 devices are, I had a very difficult time getting a phone for myself. My major problem with the current crop is miserable amount of storage. I had to go for a carrier branded Mozart to get at least 16GB, and while it wasn't SIM locked and doesn't cause too much hassle, I would advise that you avoid branded handsets if possible. You won't get any added value from them but updates will be delayed, among other things.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Avandor:
In some cases carrier locked models do come at cheaper prices, which is crucial to some people when choosing their phones.
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
IMO you are asking the question wrong. It's a bit like asking if a Hummer is a better car than a Prius? With no qualifiers you will get as many answers saying the Hummer as you get people saying the Prius.

Now, let me add some more information. I live in the country, have three dogs (who like going for drives), we get ****loads of snow in the winter and them side roads leading up to the property are not exactly prioritized when it comes to removing snow.

For me it (Hummer) definitely is, but for them there city folks probably not so much :)

If you'd like to add some more information about what you use your phone for, i.e. what is important to you - I'm sure we'll get you some good reasons why you should (or not) pick WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DatDereX1:
The interface is indeed better, and the user experience is also better in general. MUCH better than WM's user experience; you can't deny that.

Similar to how the iphone couldn't do nearly as much as WM when it was released, but the user experience was much better. Everything "just worked" as they say. Some people have issues with WP but most don't have or care about any. It "just works".
[Windows Phone 7 General] thesecondsfade:
Windows Phone 7 is by far the best OS I have used.

Android is very laggy. I can't tell you how many times I went to answer a call and couldn't because my Android device wouldn't respond in time.

Interface is unmatched. Way better than anything Android or iOS has to offer.

iOS is a good OS if you have the latest hardware (iPhone4), but the interface kills it for me. It's very boring.

Gaming experience is really awesome on WP7. Love the XBox Live integration/achievements.

Mostly everything just works without a hitch.

There are still bugs... but as an early adopter, I couldn't be happier.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Having both I say choose Android but watch WP7 for the future.

Currently WP7 offers very little to the customers.

It has very easy and nice interface but equally boring and dull to be honest.

Almost every thing this device can do is limited, maybe besides Zune and Xbox.

If you don't care about any more advanced features WP7 may be for you.

After 3 months of liking it I couldn't stand it anymore.

Limitations driving me crazy, stupid inconsistencies in performance plus Interface which is just a little bit too primitive (even if it's so easy to use).

Many people wrote here alot about both OS'es. Almost everything has been said.

For me WP7 is a massive disappointment. I gave it huge credit, bought my WP7 device for cash in December. But honestly the current situation is simply unacceptable at all.

Crippled features + no support in most countries with Marketplace, Maps, Bing and native Keyboard. If I think of it now I see it's ridiculous.

WP7 definitely is something worth interest because MS has all the services to make a perfect ecosystem in every possible area and that may be amazing. That was one of the reasons I bought it. But they don't do it now at all. You can do 100 times more on any other platform.

I suppose WP7 may be big hit once Nokia will jump on the market and WP7 will be much more opened. I think after Mango update this can be better and better.

But not now. Apparently MS has huge problem with the upgrade system what is not positive. My device still can't be updated although preNoDo was OK.

So a really competitive and finished product can be available around beginning of next year. Not before and it's too long to wait for me - I buy device to do the job!

I guess current WP7 is like an advanced beta where MS has it's learning curve.

And regarding the fluidity I say - people tell myths here.

WP7 lags sometimes terribly and current Android interations are really snappy.
[Windows Phone 7 General] frakius:
I had a iphone then a Desire HD (which I still have) and now a samsung omnia 7 16gb, I also have a Ipad 1 so have a good idea of all of the OS's. All three are good phones, and getting any of the 3 different OS you can't go wrong really.

However I am loving WP7 so far even with the little quirks, the UI is really awesome and I much prefer it to Android in that regard, I spent hours using launcher pro and icons and lock screen mods and was never happy with how it looked whereas WP7 does all i need on that front and beautifully.

Also it's a lot smoother than android, though to be fair Android is as smooth as you need, the very little lags and jerks you get when scrolling are not big deals and I didn't actually notice them till I had both phones side by side, not sure why people make such a big deal about tiny jerkiness sometimes in the scrolling on Android.

IOS was a little too bland for me and I really wanted a better notification system as well as a bigger screen 3.5 was too small for web pages and gaming, though the amount of good quality apps was amazing, however I had my iphone for 3 years and I really only had about 20 apps, A few games to play when really bored and not at my PC.

Zune is awesome, million times better than Itunes, never used it before WP7 but now I am hooked, will be going from the trial to a paid zune pass too, works very well the streaming.

I also am impressed with the gaming on WP7 some very cool games in the market place, just a pity they are normally a lot more expensive than what you get on the iphone or android.

So overall WP7 does what I need (email, calendar, phone calls, and music with the odd game) and in a beautiful UI, for some people it wont do what they want and that's fine but for me it's great.

The Desire HD isn't used much at all anymore and I will probably ebay it soon. Really hope WP7 gets bigger as in my opinion it deserves a place in the the market even at this early stage of it's life
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
It completely baffles me as to why people continue to point out that WinPhone doesn't use dual cpus as though it has some negative affect on the phone or it's experience, even going as far as to compare it to Android phones which do use it. With it's first generation processor it still outshines newer Android devices. Performance? WP7 outperforms those dual cpu Android devices. Battery life, as so many have argued is the biggest positive? WP7 still gets better battery life. Also, how many people actually use front facing cameras? Really? I know quite a few people with MyTouchs and iPhone4s who have never done a video chat, and they've owned the devices since launch.

Just had to get that out there.
