[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Baracs:
I dont own a defy but I do own a MB200 Dext and also a samsung s5830.

Motorola build quality is 2nd to none and since google have just purchased motorola mobility it might be a wise move.

BUT

when it comes to modding the phone - Odin in conjunction with samfirmware.com gives you everything you need to get you phone back if you brick it whereas on the Dext if you bricked it you were lucky to recover it depending on the necessary firmwares been available... and sometimes they are not.

Also Sumsung has just hired the priciple modder of the Cyanogen mod which means they are going to concentrate on their software development.

I suggest that you physically go and handle a defy and have a play with it and then make a decision - remember its going to become part of you and therefore you have to like it.

One thing about motorola IMHO is the motoBlur - you either love it or hate it - most of the roms that I have seen remove it - but in what it does it does well - it just the way it looks but it does drain resources big time to be continously connected to the net either 3G or Wifi.

I hope YOU make the right decision for the right reasons - good luck in your choice.

[HTC Wildfire S] shotgun32:
Hey guys, I come from LG optimus one forum and I own one and I come in peace lol

I'm planning to change my phone to these two wildfire s or gio cos I'm sick of multitouch problem and touchbug issues of O1 and remember, my point of changing my phone is not to upgrade my phone to a high end devices.

Which do you think is better?

No bias answers please :)
[HTC Wildfire S] LeeCHeSSS:
Try going to a review site then, this forum is dedicated to the Wildfire S; you'll get nothing but biased opinions (either people are happy with their phone or are not satisfied with its performance; they *will* reflect that in their reactions here)
[HTC Wildfire S] TrashX:
Go for the Wildfire S.

+ camera light

+ 512MB internal memory

+ ambient light sensor

+ htc sense

+ last but not least: much better haptics due to the aluminium frame

- 600 Mhz

I needed a small Android phone and so I just bought it after comparing the Gio, the Ace and the Wildfire S in a Store. And: I own a Galaxy S and a Galaxy Tab, so no HTC fan boy here.

Please excuse my bad english.

regards

TrashX
[HTC Wildfire S] regius:
I aso pondered between the two, but after reading a cpouple of reviews and seeing both tinkering with both phones in a store I went for the WS. I do admit, I am a HTC fan though. However, after 1 week I am pretty happy with it. I am using it primarily as a phone, no data or e-mail on it. Battery life is more than decent, it takes decent pictures as well.
[HTC Wildfire S] Vafflus83:
Gotta say, that im a bit jeleaus at my GF for having a Wildfire S. It's a decent phone! Go 4 it, you won't regret it.

I am trying to download some files using megaupload and i can't seem to be able to do it!

The default browser just doesn't do it, firefox does it but only if i stay on firefox and wait(as in, i can't go to another app). Does anyone have a solution?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dazz87:
yeah use opera mobile or dolphin
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mackdaddy187:
Works fine in my stock browser. But since I use Opera Mobile, I have never had any problem using it to download off megaupload. Just make sure you stay on the tab while it counts down since it pauses it for some reason if you minimize the app or go to another tab.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
Works fine for me on stock browser. Try changing the useragent to "Desktop"? Maybe

put a screen protector as soon as possible. i get it down for a couple of days and i scratched my phone badly. and it was only in my pocket

Yes - it will definitely get badly scratched this way, pretty much expected if you ask me. :p You'd better buy a new one ASAP.

[HTC Wildfire S] msb1969:
I have Samsung HM1000 bluetooth handsfree. When i pair it with Wildfire S (A510e), during incoming call, I only get feeble beeps (which very difficult to hear in noisy as well as even in normal condition). Where as when i pair the handsfree with Nokia handset, I can even get a MP3 ringtone in the earpiece.

What could be the problem ? Any solution ?

HTC customer care asked me to soft reset & try again. But no luck.

Wildfire S has bluetooth 3.0 where as handsfree is bluetooth 2.1 +EDR.

HTC customer care says it should support.
[HTC Wildfire S] LeeCHeSSS:
This is not uncommon. Ringtones over bluetooth are not part of the bluetooth specifications, so while a phone may be compatible/supported, this feature is not guaranteed to work (Nokia has the best bluetooth stack on the market).
[HTC Wildfire S] msb1969:
Thanks Lee,

Is there any way to increase the vol of BEEPS. Right now its very feeble. I think i'll not be able to listen to it in crowded area or in the car if music is on in the car's music system.
[HTC Wildfire S] LeeCHeSSS:
If your carkit has a volume setting, that would be the way to increase them. I myself have the same situation, except my beeps are extremely loud, so it scares the hell out of me everytime my phone rings :)
[HTC Wildfire S] msb1969:
It's not a car kit. I am using a Handsfree being mounted on the ear. U can see this model on Samsung website. Though there are vol buttons, they didn't help in increasing the beeps volume. They can increase / decrease conversation volume.

Any suggestions ?

Can HTC release a patch to resolve the issue ?
[HTC Wildfire S] LeeCHeSSS:
I have been searching for this myself as well; the feature is officially called "in-band ringtone". I can't find anything that's android related though.
[HTC Wildfire S] ravijokhun:
If you plan to get a new one, may i suggest a blueant device..ive been using one for over 2 years now and used it on motorola, nokia, samsung, htc and it worked flawless :D..

dun wry...am not selling em :D:D:D. i just love my blueant st3
[HTC Wildfire S] msb1969:
I am talking about hands-free to be fixed on the ear (something like Blueant Q2). ST3 appears to be a speakerphone larger in size. Again, in one of the review, it is mentioned to bluetooth ver 2.0.

In the, mean time i once again contacted HTC customer care.

Now they say it should be ver 3.0....A2DP.....Stereo etc.etc.

I don't understand how there can't be backward compatibility ?

How many Bluetooth 3.0 hands-free devices are available in the Indian market ?

Another test:

HM1000 (same model,Bluetooth 2.1 but another piece)connected with SAMSUNG Galaxy ACE (Bluetooth 2.1). Same results. (Only beeps during incoming call).

Any comments / justification from experts.
[HTC Wildfire S] nomdeguer:
Hi! I have the same problem. Only faint beeps emitted by the bluetooth headset during incoming calls. (I tried it using samsung galaxy y and blackberry 8520)

What could be the problem? Please help.:confused:
[HTC Sensation] keithgrobertson:
Hey everyone,

Just wondering where people got their unlock codes that have a SIM unlocked Sensation.

I've been looking at http://www.mobileunlocked.co.uk/htc/sensation/ but it seems pretty expensive...
[HTC Sensation] keithgrobertson:
bump

10char
[HTC Sensation] cdstewart:
http://www.htcimeiunlock.com/

$30 U.S.
[HTC Sensation] keithgrobertson:
Thanks.

Can you share your experience with them? How fast did you get the code?

I'll be unlocking my BELL Sensation this week, so I guess I'll use their "check IMEI" feature first..
[HTC Sensation] zaney:
I tried this today~around 10mins
[HTC Sensation] keithgrobertson:
You'll have to forgive me if I don't believe your first post promoting a website...

What phone did you try it with?
[HTC Sensation] osugsxr:
Cell unlocker . Net. $19.99 give code in 3 hours or less . Worked great , other one posted above was $14.99 but couldn't find code and and for another $14.99. Still haven't received refund from them from cancelling order
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
If you're on T-Mobile and your account is in good standing and you have been a customer for 90 days or more, you can call up and ask for your unlock code. You do not need to provide a reason, and they will email it to you within 24 hours.
[HTC Sensation] diaz2611:
just call your carrier and give them the your IMEI number and they will give you the unlock code for free
[HTC Sensation] draganus:
I have also used HTCIMEI UNLOCK web site and literally I got my code in less than a minute. Used for sensation as well. I can uplod pics if you want me to.
[HTC Sensation] keithgrobertson:
:rolleyes:

I'm buying it from one carrier on no contract, and unlocking it to use on my carrier.

The orig carrier wont give me the unlock codes unless I'm their customer.
[HTC Sensation] aikidy:
Nice , i bought mine on Ebay, would it be OK to call T-Mobile to Unlock mine ?

or shall i get an unlock Code from HTCIMEI UNLOCK

yah , Please upload Pics ..
[HTC Sensation] draganus:
Here it is. I got email from them in 8 minutes after I submitted payment thru paypal.

Edit: Since pics looks small and I cant post links to any other site and i need 8 post to do that just pm and i will send you two links to tinypic where you can see images.
[HTC Sensation] armoguy94:
It's within 14 days but usually 24 hours, just for clarification. I called a few days before leaving to Armenia last summer for T-Mobile to unlock a MyTouch 3G Slide and it literally took 14 days to get the email. Other times, I got it the next day.
[HTC Sensation] KeeperOfThePizza:
What is exactly the purpose of this? Could i use any prepaid service for this?
[HTC Sensation] shorty87:
If you sim unlock the phone, then you can put a sim card from any carrier worldwide and it should work.
[HTC Sensation] shapiro1234567890:
htcimeunlock is amazingly fast and worked perfectally every time 4 me. or u can just call tmo and get it 4 free, thats what i did
[HTC Sensation] ohliu:
As glhturbo had pointed out in another thread, cellunlock.net does it for $20/phone but with this code crackb50 you get 50% off. Worked great for my T-Mobile Sensation. Enjoy! =)
[HTC Sensation] jdelforge5684:
Get a buddy with a sensation "native" carrier to make the request.

Sent from my HTC Sexiness.
[HTC Sensation] Mystik:
No canadian carrier does this. Thanks for the input though.

OP: use MobileInCanada.com. Hands down the best service. $20 a phone, regardless of what it is, with very few exceptions.

I have a Virgin Sensation 4G on Telus now, I used this process, and I'm up and running full blast. You will not be disappointed.

Some notes in the process: Bell has a general policy to NOT SELL MOBILE PHONES TO PEOPLE WITHOUT BELL SERVICE. It's a dumb policy, but they're pretty firm about it. Luckily, their resellers are not bound to this same policy, going to T-booth, Wireless Wave, etc. any place that SELLS bell/Virgin phones but is not Bell/Virgin, you'll need to buy from. mobileincanada has been known to take as much as 4 Hrs to produce an unlock code, but it will come, and they will email you about it. they take paypal (and you can complete the transaction on a mobile device, such as an android).

Also, the phone will not have the APN for Telus, you'll have to add it. Google Telus APN, and you'll find all the relevant settings you need, or look up "using a non-telus device" on telus' webpage and they will give you basically the same settings for setting up data on a "non-telus phone".
[HTC Sensation] edwin13002:
Hi,

i'm from Belgium and i'm going on holiday to New-York in september where i hope to buy my sensation, i think that it's only possible in a T-Mobile shop, but is it possible for a foreigner like me to buy it? and what's the differents steps to use it with a belgian operator???
[HTC Sensation] tmosda:
you may be better off buying an unlocked one from ebay..
[HTC Sensation] edwin13002:
why? i don't trust ebayer (who sell smartphones) altough i'm one myself
[HTC Sensation] ignacio275:
You should take a good look at their the ebayer's feedback, with a good feedback you should have no problem
[HTC Sensation] chochoking:
yeah, T-mobile email me the info in less than 24 hours
[HTC Sensation] blastermak:
I also went to NY and bought a Sensation there. According to the staff it should be locked but when I got back in the hotel and tried the sim card from home it just worked. Dont know if this is my luck or the staff's fault.

He did say that Tmobile will unlock it for you if you call them ;)
[HTC Sensation] iJohnny:
Mine was unlocked and I don't know why it wasn't but I like it. :D

[HTC Sensation] pozzer18:
is there any way to unlock with a phone thats rooted? kinda like on the iphone
[HTC Sensation] ibmaxin:
A different sim unlock question..

I have a T-Mobile sensation,S-off, xboarders CM7 rom... located in AZ. I do not have another sim card for another carrier, I obtained the unlock code from the terminal emulator method. I "THOUGHT" unlocking the sim card was enabling my current sim card/sensation for t-mobile, to work on other carriers.

However I obviously learned that the only way to enter the code was to insert a sim card from a different carrier, and enter the code. That being said, if I insert another sim card in my phone "like a friend with AT&T", will it affect his sim card at all? And when I put my sim card back in, will I be able to use different networks? Will it lock my sim card out of my phone? I have been researching for a while now and I havent found too much defining what im looking for. Any one who can enlighten me would be appreciated!:D
[HTC Sensation] keithgrobertson:
If you insert your friends sim, and unlock the phone, it does nothing to your friend's sim card. He can use it the same way he always has.

and when you put your sim card back in, it wont do anything to your sim card. All the code does is unlock the PHONE to allow other sim cards. Your sim card will still only be t-mobile.

If you remove your friend's sim card, you phone will still be unlocked, and you can put in ANY sim card after that, and never have to enter the unlock code ever again.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sumunk:
you wonder why so many people go and use android and iphone...

microsoft doesnt have any proper marketing strategies i mean the games are overpriced, the apps are still at a low number and there is no real freedom in this os.

dont get me wrong im a user of wp7 and i was excited by the phone but the more they release things the more disappointed i am. you arent paying for games like angry birds and plants vs zombies your basically paying ridiculous prices to use their xbl feature.

i think that if they want to break into the market they should really consider making these games free i know its unfair to the developers but think about how much more people would be interested to hear that they can get free proper games or apps.

but if you want to go and tell these developers to develop games for your os then i think they should make it free like what google did with angry birds although they paid them a butt load of money. microsoft is trying to compete with people that have been in the market for longer making these things free would surely attract more people.

well thats what i think, share your thoughts
[Windows Phone 7 General] munkeyphyst:
There are lots of free apps in the marketplace already. What's your point?
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
Making Angry Birds free is not going to sell handsets. Having a feature complete phone (Mango) and sales reps that are actually willing to sell Windows Phones will be what will move handsets.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Once you start working for free, let us know then we'll take your point up with Microsoft and the developers who will obviously be ecstatic to forgo any charges for their work.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sumunk:
my point isnt saying there isnt any free apps.. its saying maybe instead of jacking up prices so high they should focus on reasonable prices, its because its xbl integrated that they charging so high

as i said their marketing sucks.. im simply saying that if they think about what users want and how they should take android and iphone as examples.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sumunk:
once i start working for free?

what you on about? if they willing to spend 8bil on skype and not even integrate it on wp7 why cant they spend few hundred k on developers to bring in more apps and games...
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
they're learning... they can't copy apple snobbishness or androids openness... they need something new fresh, different. give them time, they'll find a niche eventually.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sylau90:
As I said...Microsoft marketing sucks

compared this two sites

Microsoft

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/features/whats-next.aspx

Apple

http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/

Both coming this fall....IMO,microsoft is not working aggressive as apple does...in apple ios5 site,it has almost everything...gallery,video,features,notify me function....Microsoft one is just looks like they are not ready....
[Windows Phone 7 General] revrak:
if they make games for free , they either pay the developers or screw them.

if they screw the developers no one is going to make more applications for wp7....

and really... the phones costs like 500 dollars, paying 50 dollars more for your apps is not unreasonable.....

and of course that microsoft marketing sucks compared to apple, apple is the most successful marketing company in the world. ofcourse this does not make it impossible for Microsoft to improve :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] ryude:
I'd rather they charge $2.99 so that we have more high quality games and apps on our phones. It's not that much money...less than a burger king meal.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FTC:
...you have 2 different kind of points:

a) Apps prices: This is not Microsoft's responsability. The prices are fixed by the developers of the apps. Marketplace is just the site who makes it possilbe for you to purchase them.

b) Microsoft marketing: Yes, in this respect, they are still far behind Apple. But you have to consider that Microsoft has not the same market approach like Apple.

- Apple has their own sales outlets

- Apple has a big influence regarding marketing and advertising budgets with their retail partners. Apple dictates what they have to do and what they have to spend.

- Same applies to the selected providers who sell Apple products.

Microsoft is in partnership with the device makers and the providers and depending on them. Now who is responsible for the marketing? Mircrosoft? The Makers? The Providers? Microsoft startet with a budget of 500 Mio $. But this is peanuts for a global campaign to introduce something totally new and from what I can see at least here in Europe, the Makers and the Providers are still very reluctant to invest their money in promoting WP7
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Well, technically Microsoft does set the prices of XBL games, since they all are published under the "Microsoft Games Studios" banner.

As far as "free" games "screwing" developers or resulting in lower quality, remember that the most sought-after game that has just been released on WP7 is a port of a game that is already available on the other platforms at a lower price, with more levels. Oh, and according to most recent data, Rovio is earning about a million dollars a month from the ads in the free Android version. That doesn't exactly sound like they are getting "screwed" to me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
I was in long Island, NY last week listening to a rock station as I was traveling through. I heard 3 Windows Phone 7 commercals on the radio. It was on aAir plane and they discusses something about powering off phones incuding you with the new Windows Phone (and a few others got in a WOW type thing about the phone)

Same commercal 3 times, it was for the Verizon HTC Trophy (didn't think Verizon cared about it that much)

This would be the first time I heard a Radio ad, I've seen tons on TV tho...

As for the App costs, I will agree, anything over $2.99 for a mobile app or game is WAY too much. MAYBE in a rare case for a High end game (big brand name with the game to back it up) $3.99-$4.99 is acceptable, in a RARE CASE. $6.99 for Sonic is crazy, not for a game (tried the demo) that should just be a flashback game($1.99) as it plays just like the 16bit sega system did.

Actually I think they did. When Microsoft released the first few games (before lots of developer "good games" came in), some were at $4.99 (think ilomilo and few other of the release games) , so developers said, Microsoft can do it, why can't we ?

If they started out with new games at $1.99 or $2.99 I bet it would of set a standard because no one wanted to be that crazy over priced person that does not sell any programs. Now you see $4.99-6.99 the norm for mid line games and I still think that's nuts for a phone game (if it was xbox live on my 360 in 720p/1080p with 5.1 audio, it's different and worth that or more)
[Windows Phone 7 General] ryude:
So it's okay that you spend a thousand dollars every year to use your smartphone, but omg they better not charge more than $2.99 for an app!

AT&T 450 minutes + unlimited text + 2GB data = $85 + fees and taxes (about $5) = $90 a month

$90 x 12 months = $1080 a year

And that's for the cheapest talk plan they have.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sumunk:
honestly some of you guys have good points and some of you dont have good points..

its not about spending how much on a contract.. thats kinda what you bought the phone for, its not about spending alot on games either its about what microsoft is trying to do, being different sometimes isnt a good thing as it leads to un-satisfied customers and thus leading to people changing back to android or iphone.

i believe they can still come out right after they listen to their customers.

reasonable prices for reasonable games.

and if you wanna say angry birds is worth it, guess again its missing the new chapters.. its only got 1 - 4.. wheres the rest.. is this the best that they could do for MS? wheres seasons and rio?
