nice dude, but mango? are u a developer ? how did u get mango installed ? the warranty void installation process??

We don't need no warranty I have been flashing roms for 6 years and have never had a problem getting a phone swapped
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvin_S:
Apps will become less and less a problem

A ton of new HQ apps have been released:

- IM plus (expect it to be mastered once Mango gets officially released)

- FB (now supports push)

- Vevo (!)

- AccuWeather

- Kik

With Mango:

- Spotify

- Skype

(hopefully whatsapp as well, they have the API's they need now)

plus all the other stuff like multitasking all works really great and the ease of use and productivity will increase significantly.

What more does one need, now we can also have unlimited sideload apps on Mango. Its worth the wait, it will only get better once nokia will release its mapping apps and stuff.

Some of the apps can be replaced on android because the native ones are crap, with wp7 you can ask yourself do you really need other apps or do the native ones just do their job fine.

You can install Mango and give it a go... if you still dont like it, restore back to NoDo and you will still have your warranty.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhughesy:
In my experience Android can get laggy, drain battery and be a bit unstable at times with apps crashing.

WP7 on the other hand is smooth and easy to use.

I don't miss any apps from Android but you may have different needs.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Audio:
Get Mango on it, you'll soon change your mind.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryude:
WP7 is in it's infancy so of course it isn't going to have as much as android or ios, but it is growing.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ace10134:
Yeah once Mango gets here he should be mostly satisfied with WP7 (since push notifications will actually work and the internet browser will actually be useable)

Also, all the "cool" stuff you're seeing on Android... It has no use. Is changing the SMS interface really necessary if the Messaging hub already works really well? It's fun to screw around with that stuff, but that's all it really is.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geddeeee:
WP7 is how a true 'smart' phone should be. Quick, slick and beautiful in it's own way.

If you want customisation... buy an Android phone. But Android is laggy and bloated. Yeah you can change almost anything, but it feels as if the device is 'fragmented'.

WP7 has a smooth togetherness which I love.

Thumbs up MS. Keep up the good work. Mango beta is far from perfect, but MS seems to be listening to it's users!!!!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jessiethe3rd:
This is a loaded question...

However...

Once one decides if the limitations that the OS have make it difficult for you do the things you NEED to do it's a pretty easy decision.

Mango does indeed take the things that WP7 did and make it even better. There's not a lot of change in the deep OS strategy though. WP7 is about content and not computing.

You cannot customize it to your hearts content because the UI is built on a standing principle on UX.

Android = computer emulation

WP7 = Mobile empowerer

You can do a whole lot more on Android and it will probably stay that way as Android continues to push the limits. WP7 is more polished, more refined, more dedicated to its useful purpose. It is also much more locked down. Android is more green fields, do anything you want and how you want and with that strategy comes good at everything, master of none.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoboDad:
Excellent analogy. Very well put.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keyboardP:
Great reply!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doministry:
I avoided Android because of these opinions but honestly right now it is quite refined too.

It is somewhat true WP7 is having better workflow that other OSes but for me lack of features and quite boring UI after some time disappointed me.

As it was written here so many times, WP7 does it's job in some areas in elegant way.

However Mango may be the first finished and more refined version of the OS. Currently it's quite poor IMO. And quite illogical to be honest.

If I would be someone to give advice, I'd say wait till the end of the year and drop it now unless you're a dedicated MS enthusiast.

As for the above analogy - I prefer computer emulation than.

I had an omnia 7 for 6 months and now have a desire Hd. I loved the omnia and windows phone 7 for a couple of months, but I became tired of waiting for the "march" update and brought a dell streak, which within a week the screen and glass broke :( So got the desire HD. I have to admit I'm loving putting custom roms on this, but looking at the vids and pictures and demos of the mango update; I'm seriously considering buying one of the new set of devices, mango loaded of course. Looking at the rumours of a 16mp 4.7inch 1.5ghz HTC wp7 device, that may draw me in :P Wp7 is so refined and i have tried out the ie9 browser in mango and it is seriously at least twice as fast as any android browser I've used, and 5 times faster than the crappy safari browser on my ipod touch.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minori_aoi:
Going from Android, Blackberry, Palm, and now WP7. So far WP7 is the best. Everything just works! I don't even need customization. The tiles maybe kind of boring, but it's not really a deal breaker for me.

In mango, I got the best Facebook experience compared to other smartphone I've used. At least for me, current Mango only lack one thing or two, which is not really vital since it's a phone. Those are native VPN (PPTP / Open VPN), Static IP Address for WiFi network.

WP7 support proxy natively, even NTLM proxy, which other OS lack (Android have ASProxy recently though, but still not native support, not sure about iPhone)

Android is ugly, to the point you have to customize everything on it (I've been there with my MotoDroid), It lack many thing, so you have to fix everything. On the other hand, WP7 is just simple, everything is worked, and while it doesn't have the most beautiful UI, it's still not ugly. So I can live with it.

The best analogy for Android vs WP7 would be, Linux vs Windows. lol
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vetvito:
^ so WP7 must be Linux in your analogy? Least used, most liked, smooth?

Anyway question would have been better asked in off topic forum, or talked over with by yourself. Dont let other people's opinions influence yours.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minori_aoi:
Is that sarcasm ?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inorde:
In what universe is Linux "most liked" or "smooth"?

Anyway... I'm on Android right now and I'm still not sure what to do with my next phone. Android kicks ass, but I'm currently developing for WP7 and it kicks ass. Just using the emulator makes me want to switch to WP7, even though Android is way more customizable. If my next device is going to be an Android, it will be a HTC phone with Sense though. I agree with default Android being a bit meh when it comes to looks. Sense fixes that for me.

--SNIP-- there was a long rant here, I can summarize it as follows: I've experienced development for Android as torment, where I found development for WP7 to be really fun. I actually enjoyed myself working with WP7.

WP7 is kind of static, you should have known that before getting a WP7 device.

If you'd written that reply in WP7 XDA App, we would at least be able to read/understand it. :cool:
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexdiaz:
If anyone cares, here's my opinion:

I had HTC Touch HD ( Windows Mobile 6.5 ) which sucked hard, the only good thing was the navigation software available which looked great.

Then HTC HD2, used Android a lot on it, liked Android after the WM6.

Went to HTC Desire, overclocked and not, stock or custom, worked fine, no problems but the smoothness in Android is no near iOS or WP7 and the apps (mostly 3rd party) and menus seemed to be drawn by a little schoolgirl.

Android is made from pieces which don't link well and the worst thing, made by Google, which sucks except their Google Search.

Gave up the Desire after 7 months for a HTC Mozart, now loaded with Mango.

I have to say that the WP7 is comparable in smoothness with the iOS but I like it better than iOS (probably because I hate Apple too).

I'll stick to WP7 for a long while, hope official Mango will be released earlier than expected and the 3rd party app community will grow. Also the official unlock from Chevron Labs should come soon.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peacekeeper05:
Lol. People here are funny. Android is not that laggy and not that unstable, and all of them does not lag... Sometimes there are a very few minor hiccups but that's about it. Hardware acceleration will be enabled on ice cream 2.4 so things will only get better for android.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z33dev33l:
all of them do lag, true hardware acceleration is essentially impossible with the wide array of hardware its on, after using a well built is the lag and inconsistencies are terrible.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryude:
In your opinion, Android is not that laggy and not that unstable.

In MY opinion, it's unstable and extremely laggy.

Hardware acceleration is not coming and there is no 2.4, Google is skipping to 4.0.

Edit: Like above poster said, hardware acceleration is impossible to implement when you don't even know what that hardware is going to be.

Also, most of Androids problems come from the fact that nothing is natively run. It's a completely emulated environment, and I've never seen any virtual machine run as well as a real OS.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imaginarynumber:
I wouldn't say that your buying into wp7 constitutes a mistake, if may however have been premature.

As a longstanding former CE/WM owner I have been both underwhelmed and frustrated by the lack of (official) customisation/features.

I guess that the lack of features in the main OSes is thanks to the success of the Apple App model- why provide useful features when you can charge for them?

I suppose the lack of customisation is also the result of Apple proving that people will buy your chattel even if you don't allow givens such as personal ringtones and tethering. It is just a shame that MS looks as though it modelled many of the missing features on the early iPhones.

I remain hopeful that MS will open up the OS or at the very least turn a blind eye to much of the modding on sites such as this one (as they pretty much did with WM).

Ultimately any purchase involves a degree of compromise.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keyboardP:
Although not much information has been given, the Chevron guys have been working with MS to come up with a solution that will help MS keep their security, but also provide a bit more freedom for the homebrew scene. It'll be interesting to see what comes from the talks.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domineus:
Besides the cosmetic changes (which you jailbreak an iphone, you get lots of lag and instability), a lot of reasons why I went for custom roms was to make the darn product work! I didn't want to have instability and without a custom rom, I had a lot of instability. And even with a custom rom, it wasn't smooth, it wasn't great. It just made things livable so I could function.

Thing is I like windows phone. Yes I can't customize it, but like iphone, if I do customize it, the device gets slow. There is a lot more lag, and that just works becomes like any other smart phone...

I'm loving mango and I'm loving windows phone. Have for a year now
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imaginarynumber:
Not necessarily disagreeing with you but why would the process of jailbreaking a phone lead to lags and instability (in and of itself).

For me the main incentive to jailbreak is to enable the features that I have grown used to for at least 10 years, even on crappy phones, eg tethering and backups.

The one size fits all is not part of the MS paradigm Apple have created a (large) niche doing that but MS are not Apple and imo should stop trying to be being a parody.

I just wish they would play to their strengths.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domineus:
customization of the springboard does

many themes lag - especially on IOS4. There are quite a few unstable apps opened from jailbreaking I mean but it is a mixed bag

I like jailbreaking for some things but I keep any ios device as stock as possible...

And that's one unique thing

there's always some risk attached to a hack on a massive scale
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imaginarynumber:
Hi Domineus

Is the problem with the unauthorised jail breaking program employed or the unofficial programs that are sideloaded? Not sure what you mean by "unstable apps opened from jail breaking" do you mean that they are badly written apps that behave prior to unlocking and then misbehave when given "root" freedom?

With regard to WP7 I have not noticed anyone saying that an official Dev account unlock has had any negative impact.

Thanks for ALL YOUR SUPPORT

i should thank all for the support and idea that all gave me... thanks once for enlightening me on how stable the WP7 is n how laggy the Android device can become... now i am kind of satisfied/convinced that my choice for WP7 was great and not a mistake :D

THANKS ONCE AGAIN!

Ok odd thing keeps happening. My epic will randomly power off but will not power back on until i do a battery pull. I am currently running 2.2.1 RandomRom 2.2 Final EC05. I dont think it is the rom but who knows. Any Ideas would be great! Thanks Everyone in advance.

Nope not running anything. It only does it when the phone is not charging. If its on the charger it stays on. If i pull it off the charger it could turn off 20min to 3 hrs later.

My last one did that, but it was because I dropped it. Have you ruled out a hardware problem?

[Epic 4G General] harmhimself:
Not that i know of. Its never been dropped. I wonder if i should factory reset and start all over. I just dont know what else it could be.
[Epic 4G General] bigray327:
It's most likely that it's a third party app causing the issue.

That said, the best way to exonerate the software is to ODIN to the stock EC05. If it does it with that, it's probably a hardware issue. If it doesn't, it's probably a ROM or kernel issue.

P.S. it's humorous that RandomROM might be causing RandomREBOOTS.
[Epic 4G General] harmhimself:
Haha.....yea. I liked it at first but guess its back to finding something new.
[Epic 4G General] tizocalamilla:
Yeah I'm having a similar problem also but only recently like no more then a couple weeks... my phone doesn't shut down completely but it randomly restarts itself and the ODD thing is that when it would power back up it would be in AIRPLANE mode. No matter how many times I tryed to disable airplane mode it just would not turn off! Even after I would shut down my phone and power back up it was still in airplane mode. So I took out the battery for a couple of seconds and put it back in, powered up and every thing works fine again... its only happened about 3 times I'm running that new gingerbread leak so that might be the issue but I've been rnning it for a while now and only recently had this problem with the phone.
[Epic 4G General] thesals:
I run ACS Frozen 1.2 have the same issues, I've had the same issue since froyo sourced roms have come out.... phone randomly powers off..... only happens maybe once or twice a week. It happened extremely more frequently before I changed back to RFS and turned journaling on. It didn't completely correct the problem, but it helped a lot.

Nothing like waiting for a text back from your GF only to find out that your phone has turned off sometime in the last hour since you sent out a text. I call it "The Samsung **** Block"
[Epic 4G General] mrhocuspocus:
this happens to me sometimes, if you have journaling off, something might be corrupted. when the phone tries to access the corrupted data it puts the phone in an infinite loop, you might notice a huge decrease in battery life when you do reboot. A fresh clean install is the best way to fix it.
[Epic 4G General] Xhyperion:
Thanks. I've noticed this.

I have a tmobile branded HTC sensation.

Can anyone test the following app and see if they get the same issue.

(no links allowed even to market?)

It's Talking Tom Cat by OUTFIT7 (the free version) in android market

After playing for a few minutes, the audio goes off randomly. The phone lags (for example dialpad lags). Restarting the phone brings it back to life.

I never had this issue with other other android phones. I wonder if this is an issue with software/hardware

specifically related to HTC sensation (maybe an issue with sound recorded?).

[Galaxy 3 General] drshreenivaas:
I have recently updated to froyo & have transferred a lot many apps to SD Card. However, whenever, I restart phone or unmount & remount the SD Card, the apps on SD become unavailable, thus showing only the default android app icons. After some time, when SD apps show up, the whole arrangement changes, whicjh is somewhat inconvenient to find perticular app.
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
More info please, like how the arrangement changes, and what launcher you are using and what icon sorting method you are using.

I'll assume you are using touchwiz, that the sorting is based on when it was installed, and that the rearrangement always puts the sd card apps after the phone apps (in a random matter?). I dont have touchwiz right now, so the only solution I can give is to to try a different launcher (suggestions: ADW, Launcherpro, Zeam, Go launcher). I dont know if you can change the icon sorting method in touchwiz, if so then put it so that it sorts by name, that should help, or maybe toggle automatic sorting if thats an option
