[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domineus:
to be frank, the average customer knows a superficial knowledge of cell phones...and many still market dumb phones as the approach for all user needs. Nokia has addressed the h/w issues ad nauseum, so it wouldn't surprise me if Nokia would be the first wp7 with a dual core. In fact, I would love to grab a Nokia phone...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webwalk®:
i thought of your point too

its true the specs are taken in consideration

but currently im not aware of any device that stand out..

i think the average people would think

2x cores = 2x power needed = half the battery

battery is a major aspect

so still, why build a dual core if nothing is using it, besides the battery

like i said, android may be able to to make their os fast & fluid

but why cant they do it on the current specs

you simply dont need heavy processin unit on your mobile device, as long as you wont do heavy processin on the device. the phone wont need it, but the tablet does.

the average user is used to windows

the average user uses the phone for not much more then phone, text, surf, game.

last but not least, the price, i dont know much about dual core phones (do they already exists?) but double the cores, may raise the price by a lot.

this year we wont need no dual cores....
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjm001:
To be honest, I never really felt the need of such a powerful processor in a phone. What can you use it for apart from games with high graphics?

I'm sure opening office docs, web pages, utility apps, music...everything at once still won't slow down the processes. It's a phone guys. Not a desktop PC.

Many years ago, I had a 1.2 GHz CPU running windows XP, which in fact ran heavy programs without any lag. And today, our phones have 1GHz CPU running a phone OS and apps that hardly go above 50mb.

What's the need, seriously?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtboos:
I don't care about dual core yet, but would like to see some higher end devices. All first gen releases were very generic.

Newer Gen CPU/GPU (dual core not necessary till things are coded for it)

High Quality Material/build

32GB or 64GB Internal ROM

Super AMOLED/next gen if avail

512MB RAM

Good Battery

Good Quality Optics (iPhone4 or better (like Nokia N8))

Thats all I want. Maybe a FFC just for ****s n' giggles, but thats not high on my priority list.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OGCF:
Well just like you said they have added support for new processors but neither of the new ones are dual core. We've heard rumors that ST-Ericsson will be supplying dual core chips for Nokia's Windows Phones but for now Qualcomm says they're the only WP7 manufacturer.

I don't doubt Windows Phone will see dual core support in the future. I have a feeling that Nokia won't be launching their Windows Phone alongside the others in September/October, but later in November or even December. That's when I think we'll see the first dual core Windows Phone. (Just speculation. No evidence for this.)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kainy:
Well you just described Nokia N9 :D except for the screen ... only Sammy can put Super-AMOLED ;) and the RAM is 768MB :D

PS. I though someone from Microsoft or Nokia I can't recall said that WP7 is already dual-core ready, so maybe it doesn't need new coding or I'm terribly wrong :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtboos:
Aye ;) Why I know the phone I want is easily within reach. That would be more than powerful enough for the next couple years. This is also why I was excited about the Nokia deal because they have some excellent quality hardware & optics in some of their phones.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmcgraw:
Android needs dual-core because the OS is so cluttered and filled with junk. WP7 phone have "inferior hardware" yet still run smoother than any Android phone would.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tr1zrus:
yea it should b strong
[Streak 5 General] kanej2006:
I used to own one last year but sold it as it was locked and even when using the so called sim card. One day it would work and the next I would get no network...

It was not usable and sadly I had no choice to sell it...

At the time I paid around £300 for it as it was new at the time...

I was having a look on ebay the other day and saw quite a few of them for as cheap as £240, brand new sealed and unlocked.

To me this is a bargain for a 5'' phone having a beefy 1gb cpu, 512 ram and a 16gb memory card included...

I currently own the HTC Desire HD. I've had it for the last 4 months. While I'm happy with it, there are quite a few drawbacks.

The battery is ****, no matter what, it will last MAX 24 hours with minimal use.

there are times when the battery suddenly drops from 30% to under 20, then 10 and it cuts off.

Once the battery gets to 15% it will last no more than a few hours, WITHOUT any use at all.

It simply drops from 15% to zero in a matter of 2-3 hours and this is in standby.

Lastly the volume is extremely poor, when talking on the phone I can barely hear the other person and when looking at videos you cannot hear anything even at max volume...

Previously when I had my Dell Streak, battery was the best i've ever had from a large phone, once got 7 days out of it with minimum use, this was based on 12 hours standby per day and maybe a few mins use and no internet/videos...

This works out to be 3-4 days in a row, I think this is amazing considering the screen brightness was also on 70%

Some people say the Streak's battery is crap but I completely disagree...

With regards to screen/image quality I recon the Dell's screen and colour/black/gamma quality was a lot better than the HTC Desire HD.

Finally the Streaks's loudspeaker was quite loud. Call colume was loud and clear, videos/music playback was very good...

My MAIN 2 questions are:

1 - Is it worth getting a Streak and selling my HTC HD2 based on the above info?

2 - Some people say using Dell's stock 2.2 is slightly slow, sluggish and using a CUSTOM made rom is a lot smoother & faster.

Should this be the case, please could you name me the top 2-3 recommended roms to use on xda, different people have different opinions but I would like something basic, clean, reliable, smooth and close to the stock rom.

I am not bothered about the camera, video camera, main aspect of wanting the Streak is the shear large screen, excellent battery & looks/build quality.

Looking forward in hearing what other have to say.

Thanks in advance.
[Streak 5 General] maltloaf:
I got mine last week for £199 brand new sealed + unlocked from carphone warehouse on a clearance deal - sadly I think the deal is over now.

I think the battery is excellent, I'm a heavy user, the phone is always on with data and / or wifi and emails, twitter updates etc. and I could happily get 3 days out of it. I struggle to get 1 day from my Nexus S.

Most people (and they would be right) will point you to using Streakdroid 1.9 although I'm using the simple streak rom (it's in the dev section) which is seemingly a bit slower than Streakdroid but I really like it.

If you like the big screen and can live with a larger phone then I'd say it's great
[Streak 5 General] Techvir:
You have already used streak before and looks like u r comfortable with the size.

I think u should go with streak.

There are not many roms to work with.

Currently

1. Lite rom - Stripped down version of stock and default orientation is portrait.

2.Stock

3.Streakdroid.

People are divided between these different roms.

U should try them and see what fits u the most.
[Streak 5 General] kanej2006:
wow, that's a wicked deal, giveaway price, wish I saw that offer, would of bought it on the spot...

I have no problem in living with a larger phone. :) It can just about fit in my jeans pocket...

Choosing a new rom isn't easy, I will look into it...

thanks for the reply.
[Streak 5 General] kanej2006:
I will probably go with a lite rom. I have many apps already bought and will copy the apk's of them over from my Desire HD over to the streak.

The lite rom is best for me since I want no extra junk/apps and will use my own ones.

Which lite roms would you suggest drgopoos?

Anything with minimal apps/addons would be better since it should run faster than another rom with lot's of unwanted and unneccesary addons...

On top of this it should be better with regards to battery life...

thanks once again.

[Streak 5 General] kanej2006:
How do you want to do the deal?

What guarantee is there that I will receive the item and what guarantee you will receive yours?

I do not know of any safe/guaranteed ways of doing this.
[Streak 5 General] RDilus:
well i dont scam and if you scam me ill track you and will find you :P

[Streak 5 General] kanej2006:
Haha, ok, so what's your plan? I sent you a private message.

Will reply to your message tomorrow. zzzzzzzzz
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlwnew:
Hi All,

is there anyway to stop or password protect system recovery mode (up vol-home-power) I have the Samsung tracking setup on my phone but it seems a bit silly that I can wipe and set the phone back to factory default by pressing a few buttons which then deletes any security on the phone, If I lost my phone and it was found by somebody with a bit of knowledge I wouldn't have a chance of starting the locate procedure.

DLW
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaukassus:
if you set up a lockscreen password, then this password will be used for the recovery aswell(only applies to the stock recovery).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlwnew:
But that doesn't stop you pulling the battery and rebooting into recovery mode.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaukassus:
yes it does, but only on the stock recovery mode. the clockworkmod recovery can't be password protected.

btw theres no way to fully protects your device. there's ALWAYS a possibility like flashing the stock rom, and every security is removed

i will suggest to make a usb jig or buy one. The procedure to make it is available here. Search it. And u will be able to get into download mode and flash a stock i9003 firmware (also available here). Samsung service center will definitely refuse to give warranty. so i suggest u use this method. And here is a video link to how to create an usb jig. Its really easy if u have the tools

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] cantIntoCode:
That wasn't very clever was it? It's very silly of Samsung to make these phones sound similar, yet they are very, VERY different. There is basically no hardware inside the i9000 which is the same as the i9003. Please refrain from doing stupid things like this in the future, you will only end up with a very fancy paperweight. The main reason your phone won't boot is that the i9000 bootloaders are probably flashed to your phone. I'm not sure if a USB Jig will fix this :\
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] longfeng:
Agreed. you need pure stupidity to do this.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chachu2:
oo god i did the same thing.

Any Fix available??

PLEASE HELP!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] iannewson:
Remove the battery and leave it out for about 1 minute. Then with the back still of look to the right of the camera and there is a small recesed hole, stick a pin in this and hold down for about 30 seconds. That worked for me when i had a similar problem,
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ngagegames:
thank you very much comment.but i just get it to warranty...samsung service just flash it.now all is done.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jeaopogiest:
what did you tell in the samsung service to allow your warranty.. cause im experiencing your problem and im having thoughts that samsung service here will not accept my phone's warranty bcause of reflashing issues

Im lost for words, did you not do any research on flashing, it is dotted all over the forum what will happen if you flashed a 9000 rom.

Indeed that is the hard reset to gain access to Dl mode, then pleeeaaaasssseeee, only flash a i9003 firmware, MUST be i9003, xxkpe is your best bet.
