[Windows Phone 7 General] weijoon:
My girl friend is currently looking for a decent smartphone due to her aging SE K800i, I had take her to experience Android (DHD, D, Galaxy S, Defy...), Symbian 3, WP7 (LG Optimus 7, Mozart, HD7, Omnia 7), and finally her opinion is she is more keen to WP7, simplicity of the UI is the main factor that she choose WP7 as the OS she will be in, she is informed by me that there are lots of feature are missing in WP7. She say it is ok but the phone must have a decent camera. Then I told her Nokia might have their first WP7 in the end of 2011, then she say: "well, if Nokia will produce WP7, I think I will wait for the phone..."

I will get her the Nokia WP7~~
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
I'm certainly going to get a new WP7 phone as I consider my current Mozart as a stopgap solution, and will consider Nokia as well. However, there are more important considerations for me than the camera. Sound quality and presence of an equalizer is one of them, and maybe an even more important one is screen type. As far as I understand, Nokia X7 (which is what W7 is rumored to be based on) has an AMOLED screen. If that AMOLED has a pen tile matrix it's dead for me, I can't stand these. Battery capacity is important, but I doubt there will be anything worse than HTC in this department.

Other things being equal, I would prefer a Nokia over an HTC.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
But is a pen tile AMOLED with the RGBG worse than say LCD or S-LCD?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
For me it's definitely worse because I see all those black dots all over the screen that make fonts foggy and colors dirty. Others don't notice anything, so your mileage may vary. I wouldn't go so far as to call one technology "worse", but I guess it's relatively safe to say that AMOLED is superior in rendering black while LCD is better in rendering white. You pick what you prefer.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Oh, and it's also important to note that older tech AMOLEDs had serious problems with brightness in direct bright sunlight.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Having a Samsung Focus for as long now as I have, I didn't believe I could get used to the grainy look of SAMOLED/AMOLED, but it has definitely grown on me. I really can't detect the graininess in videos and the usual screens are more than acceptable. But it helps to have a phone that is as stylish and handsome as the Focus loaded with a superbly smooth and sweet OS like WP7. It helps you acclimate to the tech.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
I did not know this. Every review I ever read glorifies AMOLED/SAMOLED. Good to know.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Freypal:
Maybe i'm just un-observant but I have never noticed the graining of text I read about in reviews on my Omnia 7 :confused:

Only negative i've seen is colour banding but I was aware of that and it doesn't really bother me...
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
You don't need to become more observant, just keep using your device if you're happy with it. :-)

It's all rather subjective.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nok_fusion:
Nokia & qualcomm get close,now everything is on the track :)

http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2011...op-to-keynote-at-qualcomms-uplinq-conference/
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
I've never noticed any graininess and still can't notice it. I've tried putting it to my face and still it looks fine. I think a lot of people are just repeating what they've seen on a blog...

The other aspects of the display easily usurp the deficits of the pen tile matrix. EASILY.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Not me. I'm not the kind that follows the crowd. ;) I make claims of fact and stick with them even when I'm being severely harassed for them. What I see is graininess. It may well be the way the lines of LEDs are situated. They make an "X" across the screen rather than the normal "+". It much reminds me of the threading of denim jeans.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Now that I've looked again I think I see what you're talking about, but it's not visible unless I put the phone way up in my face and totally concentrate on seeing it. not visible dureing normal use.

Not that it matters. The LCD panels in phones like the HD7 are WAY worse than teh Super Amoled in the Galaxy S and Focus devices.

And Super Amoled Plus gets rid of Pen Tile, so that will not be an issue in the newer samsung devices.

I might sell everything and get a GS2 when it releases.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
That's very subjective, actually. I notice that instantly, saw it the first time I saw an AMOLED screen, and it annoys the hell out of me.

This may not be an issue with newer Samsung devices, but this issue was brought up when we started talking about Nokia WP7 phones.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Nokia phones won't have a Super Amoled display, and TBQH there isn't really much benefit in having an AMOLED over a SLCD so if they don't want pentile they can just go with a phone with a SLCD screen, like the HD7s.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I agree. I would rather have IPS type LCD of the iPhone 4 at a larger size and correspondingly higher res. I much prefer it to OLED/AMOLED/SAMOLED. It has just as good viewing angle and better coloration at extreme angle.

But the HD7 doesn't have a S-LCD.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The HD7s coming to AT&T will have SLCD display :P

I didn't mean plural HD7 (which would be preceeded by "those" instead of "the") :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
That remains to be seen. HTC is calling the 4.3" LCD in phones like the HTC Inspire 4G a "Super" LCD, not referring to the S-LCD tech but the super size of the screen. You see...the Inspire is spec'd as having SLCD. But it isn't an actual S-LCD. I doubt the AT&T HD7 will be any different.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
I'd be curious to see where you read that.

Also, from AT&T's press release

So yeah, there is like a 99.99% chance it is a Super LCD. At a minimum its something better than the existing HD7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I got it from the fact, as I said, the HTC Inspire 4G was originally spec'd to have a SLCD display and I own one. I know for a fact it isn't S-LCD technology. HTC has apparently edited their official specs to not include the term "Super-LCD" any longer. I do know it was that way. And you can certainly ask Pocketnow, who reviewed it and still list it as having a "Super-LCD" display.

But here you have two links to peruse:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12916916&postcount=1

http://pocketnow.com/android/htc-inspire-4g-review

If HTC is doing this with the Inspire, they might do it with the AT&T HD7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
You're bloviating.

Engadget: HTC HD7s Hands-On

That's clearly a S-LCD Screen. That Inspire 4G screen is obviously not S-LCD. It's the same panel the HD2 and T-Mobile HD7 use. I can tell because when it's off and you view it from an angle you can see the "dots" in the panel (which are visible even when the device is on and it's quite retardedly agravating to look at, I might add).
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Obviously...as I said. Jeez. I am not saying the Inspire has an S-LCD. I am saying that HTC advertised it as one. Whether the AT&T HD7 has it or not remains to be seen. I am not saying it won't have. I am saying it is possible it won't because of how HTC handled the Inspire.

You really are argumentative, aren't you?
[Windows Phone 7 General] truffle1234:
dear friend, do you know where all the Smartphone’s are built???? ASIA and I have seen Americans using Motorola CDMA OLD microtech brick phone (till 3 years ago) ...

I have to say all you are hanging on to is the screen and the CPU of nokia.... as for symbian OS they did not require HD screen and fast CPU, so the battery life is great. if you compare the battery life of HD7, DHD or even TP2 it sucks....

nokia has one of the best GSM radio technology their phones always have better reception then the rest of the brands, they had the best user menu on the phone, almost all the models were using the same interface.

even if you think they are not up to your par, the devices are reliable, durable as well, symbian OS sucks I agree as well, but how in the world you can assume you know what NOKIA will produce with WP7 on it...

I only hear *****ing about WP7 from non WP7 users or some ANDROID users who will like to load Android on HD7, but if we talk about the 1.5 million users most of them are happy with the WP7.

NOKIA also makes Singapore $6000/- to Singapore $50,000/- (estimated) and I have few crazy friends who own it, they do not give a **** to the screen if its LCD or SLCD or OLED, AMOLED or the CPU is 1 GHz.... as they use the phone to make calls and answer calls....

I believe MS and nokia will make a good team, and it will make the other WP7 OEM's to make even better hardware...

this thread suppose to be nokia MS agreement, and what it will bring to the users, not what you like and dislike...
[Windows Phone 7 General] jogabonitos:
Great deal for Microsoft, a little bit worse for Nokia the worst for HTC.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The thread has moved on, you should to.

And manufacturers always outsource to the lowest bidder. Why pay minimum wage here when you can pay less than half of that in China or some other place? It's called business and maximizing profits while minimizing costs.

But seriously, move on...
[Windows Phone 7 General] benq3x:
Great deal for Microsoft but worst for Nokia
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
How is this worse for Nokia?

1. By outsourcing the OS, they stand to save on salaries and wages since they relocated 3000 employees and will phase out 1000 by 2012.

2. They got cash out of the deal. A cool Billion.

3. Nothing in the agreement that was made public stops them from developing any OS, including Symbian, or working with Android as well.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Symbian was dying, and like Blackberry, Nokia was losing consumer desirability. This is a win|win for both MS & Nokia.
[Windows Phone 7 General] truffle1234:
i agree, MS and Nokia both win by this...
[Windows Phone 7 General] truffle1234:
You should move on as well... you are forsing your opinions on ppl and assuming

how nokia will be like and all...

what u like do not mean every one should like that...
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
This is based on the last set of numbers that I saw:

Nokia's overall marketshare has not declined by very much. The last number I saw was a percentage point. From what I remember, neither has Blackberry. The issue for both companies is the lack of exponential growth. Smartphone sales have skyrocketed, and companies like HTC have become very successful, and even struggling ones like Motorola have seen huge increases in this area. So it is worrying to see other companies cashing in on the wave and you are not able to.

Smartphones are higher ticket items than dumb phones and typically bring in better profit margins. They also allow you to generate a software revenue stream in the form of app stores. We have gone away from selling dumb phones, cases, chargers, and cards to smartphones and apps.

It seems to be a trend that will be around for a while. I am not forward-thinking enough to predict the next trend, but I suspect we will be battling phone specs and communication speeds for a while before we redefine the "cellphone" again.

I would love to own a cellphone that could retract up/down and left/right. That could go from tablet form factor to current iphone form factor in the same device.
[Hero CDMA General] reuthermonkey:
Are there any Sense ROMs that are CM-based for the Hero?

My girlfriend has a Hero that I've got rooted running LiquidSense right now (see sig). It's running pretty well, and she likes the interface. Early on I tried installing aospmod to see what she thought of it. She was not a fan. So CM is out of the cards for her. Moreover, I'm not a fan of CM since it seems to be pretty unstable overall. She needs her phone for work. It needs to be stable. And I really don't feel like I should have to update her phone with nightlies just to have something that's been upgraded since last Spring.

So my question is: Are there any STABLE Sense ROMs for Android 2.2 or 2.3? From what I can tell, any development for the Hero is sticking to CM7. I see that there's a Hero theme for CM7 now, but she wants the full Sense experience (incl contacts, etc), and not just the visuals.
[Hero CDMA General] user7618:
There are a couple of 2.2 roms, but I don't think they are complete. If you want a full and complete sense rom, liquid is about it.

-----

Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Ginger-on-Hero action here!
[Hero CDMA General] pstevep:
i too use my phone for work and there are stable versions of the CM variations, the nightlies are for the most part unstable.. the sense integration was cool, but stock android you can do all of the same by installing the apps that integrate the contacts, which essentially is all that HTC did with sense, they just used their own apps (which arent as good).. my wife was a huge sense fan, but after i got her to try something other than sense for a while she came to realize that it wasnt the awesomeness that it was toted to be.. aospcmod (which is android 2.3) is incredibly stable, and there are ways to make the phone look like sense, but in all honesty i dont believe that sense was ever meant to run efficiently (its too fat) on the hero, and they have come out with newer versions of sense that would be better suited for the hero but we cant get them.. like ranger said there is a 2.2 version of sense out there, but pretty sure it isnt that stable.. and the other sense products are just stock, but are "optimized" (meaning they just took some crap out)..
[Hero CDMA General] reuthermonkey:
thanks for the response guys. I'll revisit the AOSP roms and see what I can do.

You can do a couple of things...to have it work with 2.2.

-Odin a Voodoo integrated kernel

-Odin CWM(not sure about this)

OR

-Odin Back to stock JFD--then flash CWM via Rom Manager

You have to Odin whichever way I guess.

Hey everyone, is anyone else experiencing the phone not coming out of standby when pressing the power button?

I've experienced this 3 times now and overnight while left on the charger to use for my alarm clock, it didn't go off. I tried to press the power button, no go. I had to pull the battery out to get the phone going again. Good thing I still had my nexus one for the alarm.

The second occasion when mine didn't resume from standby is when I think I left Google Earth running. It's possibly a GPS-related issue, or something of that nature.

then i Turn on WiFi and it works till i turn it off or reboot the phone

THEN even though it still connects to WiFi and my router says it's connected

i get no data throughput

no amount of resetting, deleting my router profile, rebooting phone, rebooting router, and messing with everything i can find INCLUDING setting my router to OPEN, changing the channel, changing from N to G or B from 40 mhz to 20

NOTHING works

EXCEPT

resetting phone to factory default

then it works again TILL i turn WiFi off or reboot/restart phone

any ideas ?
