Agreed, I really feel like WP7 is underrated, by the looks of it, it could easily be that solid 3rd behind iOS and Android.
[General Topics] CptAJ:
Whats their API situation anyway? Is it managed code for everyone like android and java or do they let you go lower level for the win?
[GT540 Optimus General] kdm212:
im typically just trolling around lol. however today i need to post. so heres my deal. i have my gt540 upgraded to the stock 2.1 but its rooted. well kinda???

i did the super one click and rooted the phone but im stuck. if i igo into rom manager and try to load one of the dev apps for the gt540 its prompts me to install from boot. when it reboots i get a black screen and about a minute later the original os is loaded. im sorry i know im a noob any help would be super.

also a side note. whenever i try and get into fastboot or anything it just loads the regular rom.

so i really am lost and would love any feedback.

thanks in advance!
[GT540 Optimus General] eoghan2t7:
rom manager downloads wont work on are phone and also you need clockwork installed also the install backup etc
[GT540 Optimus General] kdm212:

[GT540 Optimus General] JackG256:
You still have a hope! Me :) (Hopefully)

Your problem is you probably wont have Fastboot installed. You need to flash a .KDZ file to activate fastboot and here is how:

(I took this from MoDaCo)

How to install Clockwork:

Download Clockwork from here

Download Fastboot.exe from here

Extract Fastboot to your desktop and copy clockwork to the desktop too.

Put your phone in fastboot (camera+power)

Open a command prompt and type

cd Desktop
fastboot flash recovery recovery_clockwork_2.5.1.8_swift.img
fastboot reboot

Now hold down the Home+Power button and you will be welcomed with clockwork.

Hope it helps,

Jack
[GT540 Optimus General] kdm212:
ok im gonna give it a go right now! wish me luck...im sure ill need it!

ok status update time.

downloaded and installed everything. then went ahead and used the(other kdz file kept giving me an error) europe kdz file. however after it was dont everything i try to do is giving me the popup error message. cant even get into setting. wasnt that file supposed to wipe the phone?

i do manage to get into some type of fastboot but after i run "fastboot flash recovery recovery_clockwork_2.5.1.8_swift.im" then "reboot fastboot" cdm says "rebooting..." then nothing happens.

tried to do home and power at the same time with the phone powered on and powered off. nothing...

still kinda lost. i do feel that i made some progress with your help but i have a ways to go. more suggestions?
[GT540 Optimus General] JackG256:
Go back into fastboot mode and open a cmd and do "fastboot -w" that should wipe the phone's data.

Hope it helps
[GT540 Optimus General] kdm212:
ok so after i kept getting the errors on eveyrthing i touched. i decided to do a hard reset. did that re-ran the kdz file. did the clockwork and fastboot. seems like im at the last stage and cant get recovery up.

also i did do the erase.

more suggestions jack?
[GT540 Optimus General] JackG256:
Try erasing then re-flashing the recovery partition with a different version. Get 3.0.0.5 here.

Put recovery in the same place as fastboot is and do this in command prompt.

fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery_clockwork_3.0.0.5_swift.img
fastboot reboot

Coming from an Archos 70, one of my biggest complains is the lack of app storage on this device (around 230mb!). Does the Transformer have a limited storage space or can it use all the device memory for apps?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] logichoops:
you have 13.18gb free space to install apps plenty of room as i also came from an Archos 70 much different.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
Great news! The lack of space on my Archos makes it a complete pain as I can't even purchase more apps because of the lack of room! I've got about 5 games that are not installed because I simply have no room to install it. It's like having a Ferrari with a speed governor locked at 20mph!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
read your user manual... or just play with your phone.....

Menu Button > Settings > Display > Video Out > Enable

uses the headphone jack and an A/V (Red/White/Yellow) to headphone cable.

you can get them cheap off ebay for a few dollars, but might have to switch white with yellow depending on the brand...

hdmi out through Usb has never been gotten working.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xThe Enforcer:
Our phone does not have the HDMI capability. :(

But yeah, you can have a crappy quality dual setup I suppose...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
two options here. either get a crappy av cable and let it play video through an inferior connection or use dlna (allshare) to a computer or dlna tv, or one of those small boxes they sell like netgear roku player, but you can not simply stream the screen image that way so it is no good for video games.

vnc software can stream the screen image if you want a way to show the home screen and not just video files. needs a vnc client on a computer to view it though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsx19:
oh well

i was wondering if they ever made the hdmi thanks though!
[HTC Incredible S] carsmovies:
Has anyone else notice that the browser doesn't have the word wrap feature when zooming in? This is a very convenient feature that I used all the time on all my other droid phones so far. The option in browser settings for "auto fit pages" is also missing.
[HTC Incredible S] nameit:
I do have the option to allow mobile viewing. maybe the function is in there. My browser is working fine when I zoom.

[HTC Incredible S] carsmovies:
Mobile viewing is something completely different. The word wrapping does work sometimes but not on all sites like it did on my previous HD. Try this forum, www.canadiangunnutz.com for example.
[HTC Incredible S] nameit:
I can not find the word wrap in any menu. so far so good.

I've seen the site, the text is fine.(word wrap)

Only the header with advertising does not work.

From Nameit's HTC Incredible s using XDA app!
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
This failing word-wrap is most likely because of the css they made. Fixed widths and alike cause trouble on mobile views. This is why it sometimes doesn't work. The browser tries to follow the guidance the website made, but gives a little mobile touch to it, and that last part is hard, because it can screw it up. Most likely and in short: the website is not compatible with a mobile browser.
[HTC Incredible S] carsmovies:
You are probably right but the weird thing is that the desire HD has no problems with this site.

Ok so I was able to use it once on a HTC phone.

But now I tried connecting my vibrant to my computer with usb debugging on and it says it couldn't install "samsung_vibrant" driver.

So obviously when I try the superoneclick it gets hung up on "waiting for device", anyone had this problem before?

However if I connect my phone with "mass storage" and usb debuggin off it works perfect.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] diablos991:
I had a Nexus One from launch till 4 months ago and the developer support made me fall in love with Android.

I decided to test out WP7 with the hopes that it would develop into something great; however, I am immensely unsatisfied with the rate of development on this platform.

I would like to come back to Android and this phone is very appealing to my needs.

My question: Will the developer community heavily support this phone like they did with the Nexus One?

My 2 favorite things on Android were Cyanogenmod and Kang-o-rama. I would be incredibly happy if these items were available on this phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brian6685:
I'm sure this phone will have PLENTY of dev support. I know that cyanogen himself and a few others from teamdouche are getting the g2x also :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.orange303:
Vanilla dual core means support.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stefan.buddle:
This device will recieve a lot of support because it doesn't have a locked bootloader like the Sensation(not 100% on this yet till the time comes) which is coming out later this year. Plus it's a dual core phone...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Yea it seems lots of devs already said the G2x was their next phone. We already have root, but they are still working on getting the recovery working. Not that I have any lack of faith either, cause the phone just has a different partition table compared to the O2x (which they didn't expect).

I would say that once we get the recovery, roms will start pouring in.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kd78:
For me Dev support is the deciding factor between the g2x , sgs2, and sensation.

From how it sounds, the g2x seems to have the lead in Dev interest. Are there any rumors of a new nexus which could steal the Dev spotlight?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stefan.buddle:
It seems Samsung has learned the error of their ways with the whole Froyo debacle, they seem to be keeping their promish in reguards to the time frame for updates and such in the future, so the sgs2 might also be a good choice....

Samsung has burned it's bridge with me, I don't intend to go back in the near future unless the jump through a couple hoops...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dnichols4:
I for one am coming to the g2x from my Nexus One for a combination of features (dual core, build quality, etc.) + developer support.

I've been following quite a few threads, etc to try to gauge developer support & it seems like the g2x will have *plenty* of it. I'd probably still be on the fence a bit if it wasn't for this.

As mentioned, I believe Cyanogen is getting a g2x & development has already begun on CM7. Paul Obrien & dj (kang-o-rama) both have Optimus 2X's so we'll hopefully be able to use/leverage their great work for the g2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Docavelli:
If you had the G1 back in the day (like it was sooo long ago) :), I think this is going to take us back close to those days. There will be a lot of support.

Just the fact that it will get CM7 means there well be lots of spin-offs and themes. Then there will be the TW team, Eugene and Barrak, and others and of course P. O'brien and the devs working on the O2.

Definitely if you're a dev on tmo you're gonna get this phone.

XDA Mobile
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
For me, it was the Tegra 2 with Nvidia backing. Samsung and HTC make phones, not games. I can see Nvidia pushing lots of devs over to optimizing games for the chipset.

And I don't know about the Super Amoled Plus but that weird blue hue has put me off of the later screens.

Plus Tegra 2 is noticeably faster then the new Orion in the SGS2 in 3D games.

While the Sensation is a pretty phone, I didn't see anything that peaked my interest.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcaples002:
What do you guys think the best all around rom is? I'm currently running trigger 3.0.0 and battery life and stability is GREAT but it isn't as nice or cool looking as CM7 or MIUI. I've tried almost every rom out there and I can't seem to find the perfect rom with looks, customization AND stability so i want your opinion.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
If you can handle no gps, poor battery and not powering off your phone to charge the battery, CM7 is amazing.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcaples002:
I was running CM7 for about two weeks but the battery life was horrible so I switched back to Trigger. It's the best rom in terms of looks and customization but the battery life was bad and I couldn't figure out how to use my FFC. Great rom just not stable enough.

Try the EDT's 2.2.1, also when you say Trigger is not stable you might be doing something wrong.

Now I don't believe anyone thought of this but is it possible someone here could just make an HTC Sense Theme? (3.0 later on?).

That way at least we'd have something LIKE Sense?

[Thunderbolt Android Development] spyderman09:
You could try the Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen (Thread in android theming forum) - would involve taking your framwork-res.apk from your phone and uploading it and using the options to make the status bar matte or solid black.

Otherwise, maybe try a Sense-based rom, pick a skin that has the solid black status bar, then change over to your launcher of choice (or stay on Sense)

I have never used a sense-less rom, so I can't speak to that.

[Thunderbolt Accessories] andydumi:
Hey guys,

After thinking of what type of mount I wanted, at a reasonable price to start, I ordered the M2 from Amazon. $10 can't be beat right now, except maybe by this frankensteined holder.

The main reason I need something other than the Verizon standard dock is because the phone is in a case.

So here are a few pictures of it:

Folded away its near invisible.

Standing up and ready for action.

The tiny nub on the back of my case.

Its very flush, so I can't even feel it in my pocket.

Phone attached. I did not supertighten the swiveling arms, so it can move just a bit. Gravity lets it rest on the dash and friction keeps it in place. And because I can adjust it a bit I can change the tilt based on glare.

I can rotate it both left and right 90 degrees. So I can charge if I need to.

Or have it stand up.

And here is the finished product. Perfect place in the line of sight too.

I just today saw the Proclip and if this does not work out I may look into that, but it seems so much more expensive for relatively little extra benefit.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] 1454:
I have the SG2, also. I really like it because it doesn't move at all. Just be sure to tighten the screws every 6 months or so. They back out a hair. I have three(used three different cars at one point) and I have used it with three different phones also. TP2, D2, and now the TB. I actually like your idea of turning it around to face the opposite direction because it seems to look better. I may try that. Great for watching CFB while on the road.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] capflya:
Or you could just get some loctite and be done with it ;)
[Thunderbolt Accessories] drozek:
Love it, ordering now!
[Thunderbolt Accessories] albotz21:
pretty cool how does it mount to the car double stick tape? when its mounted is it solid?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] andydumi:
Double stick tape. But I did not use the one that came with the mount, I used some 3M control adhesive strips, so that I can remove them with no blemish. It is incredibly solid when mounted.

After a few days now these are my new observations:

The adhesive on the phone nub is not as strong. Or maybe its the soft feel texture of my case, but the nub fell off. So I superglued it back on with a small modification. I put it with the nub upwards, so I can just slide it into the holder and not have to twist it left/right.

I noticed the holder circle nub blocker could be removed, as it has a seam, effectively letting you use it as a slide holder only, but after a bit of prying it won't budge, so I assume its glued on. That's why I glued the phone nub upwards instead.

Works wonders now. And holy crap navigation by google is awesome. Never had a smartphone before, only a Tom Tom, and that thing is excellent. GPS acquires instantly and has no issues. It acquires initially much faster if I am moving, rather than standing still. I need to find a guide on how to use Navigation, and a good car dock app.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] necosino:
For navigation:

Push and hold search

Speak "Navigate to" (Address) or (Name, like "Pizza Hut")

You can even use general places if you just want a quick route to a general area, like "Navigate To Boston, MA" will give you a route to the heart of Boston. Once you get closer, you could just give it a more exact location. This is handy for long trips that you know you will be stopping at least once.

The Google car dock app is nice, or you may prefer the HTC Car dock.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] ThunderStick:
Drop $30 on the verizon car dock for the TB, it works great, charges your phone and automatically launches your phone in to DOCKED mode which will allow you all types of things once you get to tinkerin'.

It seems logical to go cheaper but honestly once you start purchasing things for this phone you will quickly realize you may as well drop the dimes for the right stuff in stead of trying to find a cheaper solution. The cheaper solution never works as nicely as the OEM. of course
[Thunderbolt Accessories] heffe2001:
That's all well and good if you're using your phone naked, but for those of us who use cases, it's a no-go.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] andydumi:
Right. I looked into those docks, but none of them work with cases. And I don't want a windshield mounted dock, as the windshield/dashboard angle is such that it does not work well. I tried with a dock for my previous phone, as well as my Tom Tom.

So while the dock may work for him, it certainly does not fit everyone's needs.
