The problem with the Mango beta and current WP7 releases (NODO and 7004) are that they are still either unfinished (Mango) or lacking in features. However, you can be sure that the software will utilize the hardware to its full potential as WP7 is just as smooth as iOS and just as snappy as the new dual core devices. The EVO 3D, while a monster on paper, cannot take advantage of its hardware as Android is yet to be optimized for multi-core devices (why the Nexus S is single core). There is still no guarantee than Ice Cream Sandwhich (if the EVO 3D receives it) will fully take advantage of the hardware. All Windows Phone 7 devices are basically guaranteed updates and the Mango update will bring the software up to date with its competitors.

In the end, its your choice. I personally find no use for dual cores apart from heavy multitasking and a great way to boast about your smartphone. WP7 is just as snappy, if not faster than the EVO 3D since the Sense overlay on the EVO heavily drains system resources. If you want 3D however, then you know what to choose.

All the speed etc is kind of a given at this point. I am most interested in the Contacts / Calendar / Phone / Messaging integration.

For instance, i want to be able to pull up a contact and instantly access all of the emails, calls and messages I have to them. Android doesn't do this well. Does Mango?
[HD7 General] jahpsphacker:
Mango is able to pull a list of all the calls, texts, messenger, FB chat, wall posts, and emails from a particular contact or a specific group of contacts. Twitter presumably will also have this functionality in a later build of Mango.
[HD7 General] DroidFreek:
Just stick with the evo3d the hd7 mango is only a beta don't take the risk. The evo3d is already completed.
[HD7 General] duowing:
I've played around with the EVO 3D a bit and it's a pretty nice phone. The 3D effect is hit or miss, I have a hard time getting it just right, but aside from that it's a good phone. Wait til Mango is officially out and then decide, if you're still feeling like it you could pick up a super cheap HD7 by that point, or you could sell the Evo 3D and jump ship to a newer Mango phone.
[HD7 General] air23cpt:
I'm running Mango beta on my HD7 I can guarantee you that you will not want to go back to Android this **** is amazing the people hub the info for each of your contacts has everything number,email,Facebook pics,text call and chat history. The live tiles in mango are nice they show more info.
[HD7 General] trueblackpercula:
A little of topic but were do I get mango beta for my HTC hd7?

Thanks

This is how I got it.

Nexus vs HD7

I have the Nexus S ... when i saw the beta (mango 7.5) i ran and got me a HD7 last week... Now i love the flow of the interface!! Mango makes the phone a lot better from what I played with a few months ago (beside HTC makes ****ty Phones **** signal all around town)... only problem i have is the Contacts!!!! when importing contacts from google.. No custom labels, not able to have more then one Mobile number, but you can have 2 home number :confused: WTF!!!! not able to assign custom ringtone to individual contacts :eek:. if they **** all that with some good hardware i will trade on android in a heartbeat
[HD7 General] mitchellvii:
One more thing to consider is whether the boffins out there will come up with a Mango port for the Evo 3D?

This never happened on the EVO 4G with W7 because, well, W7 sucked and no one really wanted to bother. But if Mango is all that, we may get a better effort.
[HD7 General] mitchellvii:
My evil plan

Ok, here's what I have decided to do:

For today only, if you sign up for new service on T-mobile, the HD7 is FREE. I also have 20 days to try it out and see if i like it.

So, basically I ordered the phone (which I will get tomorrow) and will try out Mango on it. If I like it I will keep it and cancel Sprint. If not, it goes back and I only lose the pro-rated portion of my $79.95 monthly unlimited plan (MUCH cheaper than Sprint's plan BTW).
[HD7 General] mitchellvii:
Results

Well I got my HD7 and have had some time to play with it.

My overall reaction is as follows:

1) It is sloooooow. Surfing the web even on wifi was torturous.

2) The screen sucks. Web pages looked flat and pixelated.

3) I had forgotten how "limiting" W7 feels after the full blown freedom of Android. I sensed I was working in a box with few options. This is twice now I have looked at W7 and both times the main thought that occurred to is wondering why the hell it took MS to put this out - there is really so little to it.

4) I am not even going to bother trying to install mango on this because there is no way I will keep this hardware - did I mention it is slooow?

I think my main problem is that I have been using an EVO 3D prior to this and I am just completely spoiled by the amazing speed and beauty of the screen.

I will be sending it back tomorrow. Will look at W7 again in 6 months when Mango is official and they have some quality hardware to go with it. I am glad did this because I basically scratched an itch and I also now appreciate my EVO 3D about 100 times as much.
[HD7 General] tfn:
I have an HD7, and mango beta preinstalled, and although I like the feel and things you can do with WP7 its still not a complete package.

SO yeah you made the right choice, as for Me I will wait untill NOKIA releases their WP7 phones, as I still believe they have the best hardware then any mobile maker and hopefully wp7 might work wonders for them :)
[HD7 General] XPLANE9:
Slow? As in laggy? The Mango browser is much faster than the one that comes with Nodo if you are wondering. And Mango hardware basically means a Qualcomm MSM8255, another single core chip.

WP7 is not made for full blown customization that you get on Android. It is directed towards those who don't prefer to sit all day moving around widgets and icons, but would like a phone that they can glance at and go. Part of the beauty of the OS is the simplicity itself. I have seen enough Android homescreens ruined by heaps of icons and mismatched widgets.

You are one of the few people who have complained about WP7 being slow. Perhaps your device is faulty, but my HD7 is perfectly fast and fluid.
[HD7 General] hdfanatic:
What are you people all about, if you like the hippy os ea Android, buy one. WP 7 is the best so far, for so many reasons.
[HD7 General] Wyn6:
He most likey purchased the phone which, out of the box, doesn't have NoDo installed. I had to update my girl's when she got hers. The browser and loading of apps is slow compared to NoDo phones. Update to NoDo the phone gets faster. Update to Mango, it gets super fast. There are no android phones that I've seen, thus far, including the Evo 3D, that is as fast as the Mango build. And, that's a beta.

I have a DVP and am gonna jump at the first Nokia device that hits Tmobile. Samsung device looks nice but Sammy scares me with their screwy firmware and slow updates (they do this on android too). We may also see some other interesting HW for WP7. The rumored Eternity from HTC looks nice. But, 4.7" screen is kinda on the large side. Don 't wanna feel like I'm talking into a laptop.
[HD7 General] VizagDude:
You know what I think....

The hardware like EVo 3D running WP7 Mango :)
[HD7 General] ycode90:
I ditched the whole Wp7 thing and went back to the best . Android FTW!
[HD7 General] naplesbill:
I currently have a WP7 device, iOS device, and an Android device.

The WP7 device is an HTC HD7S. I have compared the HD7 and the HD7S and the difference in the screen is undeniable. I am very happy with this device overall.

The iOS device is an iPhone 4 that is my work phone. While there is no denying the quality of the hardware, the UI is like playschool to me. Thank God this is only my work phone.

The Android device is the Acer Iconia A500. I absolutely love this tablet. It provides features that you just can't get on the majority of other tablets. It has a full USB port and a MicroUSB port. The benefits of the full USB are numerous. I was stuck at the airport last week (traveling for business) and my battery on both of my phones were getting low. I just plugged them into the Iconia USB, using the standard USB cables for the devices, and was able to charge them directly from the tablet.

Finally, I have owned many Android phones. The last Android phone I had was the Motorola Atrix. I had the HTC Inspire prior to that. There were too many others to bother listing here. While there are many things I like about Android phones, the poorly optimized UI performance is a major annoyance. On top of that, there are so many apps and hacks that kill battery life, it's tough to keep a handle on it. As far as I am concerned, WP7 (especially Mango) is by far the smoothest and most consistent UI of any device I have or have had.

Mango have all-in-one system-level Facebook and Twitter support which can bring all you rcontacts, Twitter followings, Facebook friends mashed up and links the same person from different sites together.

Gosh me too. an HTC HD7 (WP Mango), an iPad 2 (iOS 4.3.3 Jailbroken), a Motorola XT800 (actually my mom's, Android 2.2) and a Motorola A3100 (self-flashed to WM6.5.3)
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] michadreyer:
i found a new app on the market to save your apps.

it`s called "appsaver" which saved the apk`s on the

internal sd-card. you are able do bring them to the

external sd-card with copy and paste. it`s really easy.

the app is for free!
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] bulentgercek:
Everyone here already knows that app. What a empty post!
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] cheatman:
Not quite!

I am using Titanium Backup for this purpose and never knew something like this existed for free. Sure, my use of TB is far more complex than just extracting APKs so I won't repalce it, but I will recommend this app to some friends that wouldn't buy TB just to save apps.

Thanks michadreyer!
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] speldenaar:
Im using supermanager for this. Also saves apk's
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] rangercaptain:
Thanks, I was looking for this!
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] icarusjun:
I've used ASTRO before I encountered File Expert...

Both also does save APKs...
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] GldRush98:
ES File Explorer is free and can do this too, along with a host of other features.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] lbrenes:
So here's the story, bought my Galaxy 10.1 7 days ago, It was working perfectly, I turned it off, and plugged for a nice charge... a couple of hours later..

I tried to turn it on.. and nothing..

So far I have tried:

Holding the power button for several minutes with the tab plugged did not woked.

Holding the power button for several minutes with the tab un-plugged did not woked.

Holded PWR+Volume Down

I connected the tab to my pc and the USB detects that there's something there but nothing else..

is there anyway to use adb or fastboot to kick the thing out?

Please help

Sorry if double posted but I'm going nuts with this problem
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Grommish:
Pwr button alone for 15 sec kicked my tab over every time I've locked it, and I'm screwin with pershoots kernel and overclock

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] lbrenes:
I have exactly the same problem I live in Costa Rica and now I need to send it to USA, and it is going to be very expensive...

can't you simply let it deplete his charge using headphones or so?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] lbrenes:
Don't know what do you mean by this... the tablet is not even turning on... how am I going to discharge it?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] condorazul:
I Will try to reflash it if finally dont manage to send it to USA. I've been reading some post and the drivers it need are available to download, but the firmware has not been released yet, none the less I will charge all the tab to my home insurance cos it seems to be an electric failure.

If someone gets the solution please help us
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] lbrenes:
Can you share those posts? how can it be flashed in this state?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] condorazul:
I've read some Post about passing the information through cmd in windows but I would have to read it again, think it was in nvidia developers or something similar, I guess that if the Pc recognizes the apx something can be done but I'm not an expert and this is my first and Perhaps last android tablet. I'll take a look and told you if I find something
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tmbk:
I have the same problem. Bought the tab on Friday in the US and then returned home to the UK. It died last night - 2 days later.

Samsung technical support said it would need to be returned to a service centre. UK service centers can't deal with it as the tab isn't out here yet.

I have called Samsung US this evening and spoke to a very helpful guy who said I can send it back to the us to be fixed under warranty, but will have to pay to ship it there and for them to ship it back to me.

Unfortunately samsung's systems can't cope with my uk address so I will have to speak to the warranty company company direct - who are closed today as it's 4th July.

As a final point - I also spoke to best buy - to see if I could return it to them. As I bought it in store, I have to return it to store. Bunch of ............
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] lbrenes:
Yeap same here, I will be sending mine on wednesday if I cannot find a resolution on my own, I spoke to best buy as well and we have 14 days to get an exchange for a new one..

Just one question to all is anybody using the Invisi shield on your tab?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] condorazul:
Here us the place where I read it it's inthat forum

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1130574

Think they are speaking about our problem
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] condorazul:
So if you send it to best buy they change it, but my problem is that my fifteen day will expire on the deliver, tomorrow I will try the solution posted before and see if it works, nothing to loose
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tmbk:
Official policy is that if it was bought in store it has to be returned to store you got it from. The lady on customer services said some managers will accept returns by post but at their discretion. I got one that chose not to!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] joebob1:

can you get into odin or no?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tmbk:
I have also been able to access via nvflash. Tried Odin 1.3, 1.7 and 1.8 (might have been 1.83) and none detect it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] lbrenes:
In this state it is impossible to get in to DOWNLOAD mode,and for what I have read the Tab is only flashable with a special service cable so I guess unless we get a very skilled Dev to find a workaround our only option is to return them
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] condorazul:
Where have you read about service cable?, finally I manage to get one friend adress and I'll send the tab there to be picked for sanding service but only send and get it back 60 €
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] lbrenes:
Well it was a link with all kind of fixes.. acually they had the step by step how to solder one.. something that I'm not going to do.. this cable is like a production line cable so it forces the tab into Download mode so it can be flashed, still I don't think that we have access to the actual bootloader, otherwise people with loocked bootloaders will be replacing them with an unloocked one.

Sorry I lost the link I have read soo much about this that I'm loosing track of all the links that I have read.

If I find it I will post it..

Edit: okay, never mind. I think my battery was just dead! After a while nvflash started working properly(probably cause it now had enough battery) and then I proceed to re-flash the stock recovery(just to make sure it was working) and then it went into the low battery mode.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ferfy67:
I did all the same things. Today I even took mine to corporate repair for sprint. They are processing me a new one, have had this one for 3 days.

However, mine is now working.

I did plug it in to charge last night thinking the battery was dead, even though the light didn't come on when plugged in....just high hopes.

Read about the 15 second *on* button push on another post earlier.

Just reached over to try it....and by Gawd it worked!!!

I have an unlocked 16gb that I really don't want to trade for a new one that may be locked.

Not sure whether to replace now or not.

But very happy for now

-j

PS. Just charge...even if light doesn't come on for couple hours then hold power button down for approx 15 to 20 seconds.

If it can be saved...hopefully this will do it
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] lbrenes:
I wish it was my case... but I did charged it for about 17 hours and then did all sort of combinations and did not came back up... :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mughalgxt:
did you try this procedure?

1) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1130574

(install CWM Recovery)

followed by this, to enter recovery and factory reset the tab and clear all cache,

2)http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1136958 (POST#9)

The above two together fixed my tab!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] lbrenes:
Unfortunately this can't be done because you need to enter the Download mode, and this is not possible.

But thanks for the links..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] player911:
I had this EXACT same problem on my G2x. At first it would lock up at the boot screen and just bootlooping... then it died completely where it wouldn't even power on.

NVFlash was the only thing that was working on it. I flashed several ClockWorkMod recovery versions but none worked. I ended up flashing a ViewSonic GTab recovery but it failed. It was dead so I figured what the hell.

I finally called in for a replacement... but like an hour later I tried again and it took a CWM recovery, booted into CWM, and I reflashed the rom I was using on it.... and it worked.

I haven't had any problems since but they both have Tegra chipsets. Thank god for NVFlash!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mughalgxt:
@lbrenes You need not enter download mode, its "ADX mode" thats required re-read the second post in first link! Than following the second link enter the fastboot mode and flashing factory recovery.img hard reset the tablet clearing all cache! NO DOWNLOAD MODE REQUIRED.

@player911, flashing to stock recovery.img is recommended and thence factory resetting the device before flashing clockworkmod recovery!

try the latest kernel offering, 071011, and see if this sorts it for you lot (if you truly do not have a HW defect).

pls report back.

thx.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] lbrenes:
Well I wish I could keep on testing, but I sent my tab back to get a replacement... too expensive to have a brick laying around... I hope the new one works... for more than 7 days... jejeje
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] notfaded1:
Same thing happend to mine...

I tried everything and nothing worked. I had gotten mine a fry's which only had a 14 day return guarantee. I returned exactly 14 days later and got another one. After that fiasco I asked about extended warranty and Fry's told me they don't do them on tablets yet. New tab is working well but I'm definitely worried it could happen again.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Thebobc:
Rubbing the right way

Ok...this may sound stupid, but I had this same issue when trying to root mine. I found a thread somewhere that said to hod the power button down for about 7 seconds while moving your finger back and forth on the screen. Then release the power button, but keep moving your finger on the screen. After 3 or 4 seconds, it should come to life. While this sounds totally preposterous, mine has gone comatose 3 times now, and this process worked each time.

Good Luck!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] lbrenes:
Actually drainig the battery might work.. I sent mine back to the US.. when they got to best buy, the damn thing powered on... the only thing I can think of is that the battery died during the whole trip and then they charged it and worked.. go figure... now it is working... don't know for how long but the lemon is working...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tmbk:
Same thing happened to me. Sent it back to Samsung in the US on Wednesday 6th, didn't arrive till Friday 15th. Rang to check they'd received it and they said it was fine and booted okay after charging it for at least an hour. Think they found a problem with the screen tho so that's being replaced under warranty.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] shigga:
I had flashed to the euro rom with touchwiz and noticed it would not turn on after being charged for a couple hours so flashed back to stock and everything seemed fine till I docked it and found I would loose touch response after being charged in dock. So figured maybe it was the clock app that was causing it so I froze it with titanium backup now everything seems to be great for the last two days. Could mean something or nothing but it worked for me atleast.
