True, but with the dispaly as the number 1 drainer we can at least assume it wasn't sitting in standby the whole time.

1.2 is amazing, very fast and I'm coming from BAMF 2.1. Can't speak on battery life yet.
[Thunderbolt General] apfrost:
Just give me a rooted deodexed stock GB rom and I'll be happy. =)
[Thunderbolt General] eris72:
everything working, except unable to d/l the HTC task widget. not using setcpu or anything, stock kernel, and its the smoothest GB sense rom out now, i've tried them all. custom kernels are gonna make roms with this new base amazing.
[Thunderbolt General] Silentdawn3:
This new one is SWEEEET. The first ROM with GB that runs without modifying the kernel! So smooth.
[Thunderbolt General] Trident77:
cool stuff.
[Thunderbolt General] GoldenCyn:
This Rom is soooooo good I just came on my phone.
[Thunderbolt General] musicfreak190:
When is Chingy going to release the RUU? I am running 1.2 Gingeritis and it runs great but the rom is pretty much stock and the kernel is completely stock...If he was able to take the RUU and make it into a rooted custom rom why can't he release the o.g RUU or the rooted RUU so the rest the the devs can get cracking as to updating their current roms with this new base.....also I can't wait till they take the new kernel and customize that because it is only goes up to 1ghz and I am sure there are plenty of customization's that the devs can do to make the Tbolt experience one of the greatest Android phone experiences out to date :)
[Thunderbolt General] musicfreak190:
aka what i am going for is a Syngery rom with the new base......what I really think should go down is team synergy, chingy, theory, and guys who a good with kernels should just make one major rom that is stoppable lol

call it Blitzkrieg Rom ;)
[Thunderbolt General] yabbb:
+1 for releasing the new base.

sense is horrible, cm7 could use the new base.

either way, I sent him a PM to see if he wants me to remove it, if he does, I certainly will
[Motorola Droid 3] Izeltokatl:
Anyone else notice their stock camera taking more blueish photos in various lighting?

I primarily use Camera 360, and that seems to compensate for the blue stock camera tint?

But, I must say the stock camera app is quite nice.
[Motorola Droid 3] calash:
I am not seeing that on my camera, but I have only snapped a couple of pics in bright light and have not checked on the computer.

Are you sure your camera is not set to "Blue Tint"? On the bottom of the camera is a bar you can slide to open, the second item has options for different camera modes.
[Motorola Droid 3] eww245:
yes, I did notice this. Seems to depend on the lighting.
[Motorola Droid 3] Sp3aK:
I've noticed a blue tint with the flash on in lower light indoor pictures. I think the camera will take some adjustments to work well. Outside it took pictures just fine. I had to have the flash off the for almost all indoor pictures.
[Motorola Droid 3] pecosROB:
It's definitely blue-ish/whited out with the flash and I use Vignette.

Hopefully a software update will help correct this a little bit.
[Motorola Droid 3] rtbrjason:
Noticed this right away as well, mainly in fluorescent light. This is definitely correctable via software and from what I understand is a known issue on a very long list of known issues for this device.
[Motorola Droid 3] pecosROB:
Another thing I thought of - when a friend of mine got the OG Droid back in the day when it came out, I was very impressed with the camera and camcorder.

With the DX2 and D3 I'm a bit disappointed, it's almost like they took a step back. I feel like the OG Droid is better at video and photos than my Xoom as well.

Does anyone else feel like their cameras have gotten a little worse over time? I remember the Razr had some of the sharpest 1.3 MP photos (as well as Samsung and of course Nokia has always kicked ass in the photo department).

Wow, 1.3 MP... that's like the standard for a lot of front facing cameras that aren't VGA. Oh, and the 2 MP FF camera on the Xoom is grainy as **** in artificial lighting.

Other than the camera and battery issues, I LOOOOVEEE this D3. I miss a keyboard too much. And I feel like this screen is less grainy than the DX2 (but from what I gather the screen resolution would look denser on a smaller screen, right, since it's not spread out as much with the same pixels?).

[EVO 4G General] runcool:
Just remember that an Android phone has more power than a jail-broken apple phone/device. Think about it this way, if they don't patch stuff like that... other countries like china will use them against us and attack the USA. They must patch. When someone can HACK A PHONE THROUGH A SIMPLE website, that isn't very secure. When we do it, it takes actually doing it manually. knowing what we are doing sortof.

I love that argument from you its so stupid and baseless its hilarious.

[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I can pretty much 100% guarantee you that the average selling price of the iPhone is significantly higher than the average selling price of Android phones. This includes highend phones like the EVO, Droid x, etc. The iPhone 4 is always $200 (same as the regular retail price of high end Android phones at launch) subsidized in the US and constant at similar price over seas. How many sales, first and third party promotions, and drops in prices happen to highend Android phone? At times you can get highend Android phones for free or a couple of cents! Then add big selling low end lines like the Optimus One, and smaller lines are even more popular in low income countries. Look at what's selling there.

Yeah, that's what I thought, you again fail at thinking things through.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I am so sick of your elitist attitude.

First, I think it's absolutely ****ing hilarious who thanked your post merely because it was against what I said.

And yes, I swore.

Now, to your actual post:

Baseless. No, you can't.

When do the most significant sales occur

for any phone

? First 6 months.

What are the prices of all the high end Android phones for at least the first 6 months?

$199 AND UP. [Examples: HTC Thunder bolt and Samsung Epic were both $249.99 at release and yes they sold just fine. Especially the Thunderbolt which is still $249.99]

Oh yeah, don't forget the Droid Charge which is $299.99!

Source.

Do you just say anything thinking that people will trust it's the truth?

Please feel free to prove this, I'm sure millions upon millions of people, including those on XDA, would be interested.

Also, you wanna talk about discounting phones? Okay, lets.

Anyone see those commercials that run practically every half hour for the Iphone 3GS for $49 from At&t?

Because I watch, at absolute most, an average of 2 hours of TV per day and I see that commercial at least three times a day.

P.S. You wanna talk about truth? Truth is, if anyone is a "budget" OS, it's Blackberry.

We get it dude, seriously, you love Apple.

That's fine. No one minds that. You're free to love ANYthing in the world.

Feel free to find the correct place to express that love.

Maybe you're just a wanna-be because you can't afford an iPhone? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Gartner says exactly what I said., Android popularity is fueled and will continually be fueled by cheaper phones. I think I trust Gartner more than a random internet poster named Mattyx.

As for your examples?

Thunderbolt: $99 and the droid charge? $129 at the same place.

Those deals I spoke of? Don't you remember the 2 for 1 at Verizon? Here's a link that shows that 1 cent Android phone deal from a while back and also shows average selling price of various OEMs.

Anyway, I fully expect you to bring all opinions and no facts.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
The ONLY thing you just showed there was that Amazon can have some really nice deals on phones....by the way the Droid X was an end-of-life-phone with it's replacement released very soon there after....but we need to ignore that fact because it might not help your silly argument.

Android doesNOT sell because the phones are cheaper for the end user.

Android sells because it has

diverse options

because it's cheaper [FREE actually] for OEMs.

This is really not that hard to comprehend.

Nobody sits there and says "OMGZ I CANT AFFORDZ THAT EXTRA $50 FOR THE PHONEZ(once every two years) BUT I CAN HAS A $200+ (per month) PHONEZ BILL"

Anyway, I fully expect you to delude reality and facts, with a touch of lack-o-logic.

[EVO 4G General] vbetts:
Ahem,

As it's been mentioned before in this thread but gaining root is the same thing, finding an exploit to gain root access. Android users(not all) do the same thing, all jailbreaking is, it's just gaining root access to the system as the same thing Android does. There are devices out there that were rooted even before their actual release date.

Besides, all 4.3.4 does really is patch the pdf exploit or whatever it is.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Oh, Matthew, you curious creature. I thanked his post because it offered a logical (albeit maybe not terribly insightful) response. And it was just that. I didn't thank him to spite you. Which, honestly, I have seen you do n.. thank a post that is somehow in defense of yourself - be it a clear post or not. I treat the thanks button like a Rep system ... he made a good point and I said, 'true, true.'

Don't make it all about you. Yeah, some of his posts are straight trollish and unnecessary, but does that mean you need to respond to every single one? No.

And for someone always calling '/ignore,' I'm shocked you haven't done the same for him. I think I have noticed the pattern, though ....

Chill, dude. It is not all about you. We know how big the bottom line / lower priced / free Android phones go into account with the whole world domination. It doesn't matter though, the quality devices are moving up ... but that hasnt been the case before ... FFS sometimes I think someone must pay you to be on here. ****. He made a simple and decent point ... which he has done a few times. Again, since you'll only quote the last paragraph, he trolls and trolls hard ... doesn't mean he is always wrong. Even has more sense than half the posters here in some cases. Except, maybe, his talk about lines & bubbles & shading n whatever trivial and rudimentary bull****. Learn to ignore, which you seemed to be getting good at. Go get a drink.
[EVO 4G General] desiprince92:

[EVO 4G General] samuel346:
I have never seen someone so hypocritical in my life. I don't always agree with Matty either but you could literally take everything you just said and apply it to yourself.

By the way there was nothing at all logical about Award Tour's response.

It was full of redirection and delusion of facts, just as Matty said.

[HTC 7 Pro] shrines:
I received my HTC 7 Pro over the weekend. It looks nice, runs fine. I upgraded to Mango Beta. That made it even better. I ordered a 32GB microSD to get the storage the phone deserves. So, I'm excited about my new toy. And then I tried to sync to Outlook.

It seems incredibly strange that on this website chock full of staunch individualists that no one is ranting about being forced to use MS Hotmail and the MS cloud invironment as the only method of allowing a 'Pro' phone to be synchronized with Outlook contacts and calendar. And what about all of the music and files I have on my PC? It isn't rational that I should have to pass 10-20GB of stuff through the MS cloud just because MS have decided that is how they want to manage phone synchronization. I do not want another public e-mail address and I certainly do not want to push my business correspondence through one.

[I have just deleted a lengthy rant about MS from here. Suffice it to say I am really dissatisfied with MS and their apparent business intent.]

I like the HTC 7 Pro but I really need to be able to connect a USB cable and transfer my own stuff like I can on any other phone.

So I am looking to all of you for help/advice. If there is no way to synchronize Phone 7 with my laptop then I am perfectly willing to downgrade back to WM6.5 or switch to Android. I just need to know what my options are.

I kept all my packing material. If there is no solution then I will return the phone and get the nearest Android equivalent.

Thanks in advance for your help.

--Steve
[HTC 7 Pro] andrewkeith5:
Your media can all be transferred using Zune, direct from your computer, wired or over WiFi (after a wired sync you can set the phone to automatically sync when it's plugged in and doing nothing)

Regarding Outlook, I don't know of a single person that doesn't use Exchange or Google, both of which can be used to synchronise mail, calendar, contacts and i believe tasks between computer and mobile device. This is so much more advantageous than 'direct by wire' syncing that I'm surprised you are that concerned. If anything it's good practice to have a backup of these things...
[HTC 7 Pro] eric12341:
yea nothing wrong with using the cloud at all. there's also even a hotmail-outlook connector, you are not being "forced" to use hotmail at all ur more than welcome to use ur exchange email to sync ur contacts but u do need a live ID to use the marketplace and Zune. android has this similar practice where u need a Gmail account to even be able to use it period. MS is not going to spy on ur emails or call ur contacts and ur information isn't any less safe on the cloud than it is on ur PC.
[HTC 7 Pro] shrines:
Thanks for the replies, folks, but it appears that I have not made myself clear. I have over 2000 contacts due to industry committee activities and customers. I have four email accounts within Outlook, only one of which is an Exchange account. I travel extensively. The MS instructions for moving my contacts to my phone 7 include having to import all of those not on the Exchange server to HotMail using CSV formats. There is no automatic update thereafter. Zune will only update the phone calendar from one 'primary' calendar.

I am in Ireland today and I was unable to sync with Zune because it expected me to change my location/region settings to match my current location (I live in Germany). When I changed my location to Ireland I was informed that my Zune would not work due to restrictions (content licensing, I assume). The same is true if I select Worldwide English. If I switch back my location back to Germany there are no English pages available but I still can't sync.

Many places I visit have no wired or wireless Internet and roaming charges are outrageous. So how do I keep my phone contacts, calendar and files up-to-date with my Outlook through all this?

All I did with WM 6.5 was plug my phone in to my laptop and ActiveSync took care of the update. No more.

And I still haven't been able to sync my phone.

It really looks like Phone 7 is focused on social sites and trying to sell me stuff rather than addressing my needs as a business user.
[HTC 7 Pro] eric12341:
this is totally incorrect! on wp7 u can add as many exchange accounts as u want and it will sync them and keep them updated vs on wm6.5 and android u can have one, and those contacts that aren't on exchange u can easily add them or import them it is no big deal at all. all the calendars are also updated, on my arrive with the mango beta I have 2 live accounts setup and my Facebook account and it syncs ALL my appointments accordingly to which account they originated from. Zune does not sync any of this, Zune only syncs pictures,videos and music.
[HTC 7 Pro] andrewkeith5:
Forgive me, but reading that sounds like you haven't actually used the software.

Zune only deals with multimedia and updates - nothing to do with calendars, contacts, or mail.

You can have as many accounts as you like on the phone, they ALL synchronise everything, and in the calendar app every accounts' calendar appears and has a different colour attached to it (mine, for example, highlights Exchange in red, Google in Blue, and Facebook in green, and they all appear together so I know when I'm actually available)

I don't understand how having a thousand contacts is a problem? You can sync contacts from Google, Exchange, or Windows Live into Outlook, then it's a case of using that most amazing of things as Copy and Paste, then the cloud takes care of your syncing.

Travelling a lot, it makes sense to me to just let the phone deal with the sync - when something changes, it gets pushed to the phone automatically, and if you change something on the phone it's pushed to the cloud, where your computer picks it up automatically.

You sound like the perfect example of somebody who could benefit hugely from a push-sync service but doesn't want to...sorry to be frank, but that's just the way it seems to me...
[HTC 7 Pro] JohnMcD348:
I'm in the same boat sort of. I don't use Exchange, just MS Office an Outlook for my schedule and contacts. I only just got my first WP7 phone and previously I was a recent WM user migrating from my Axim x51v. Been using a PDA since WM2003. I really find it hard to fathom why MS would make it so that their products can't talk to each other. I've installed the connecter and still couldn't get it to sync up to Hotmail very easily. I've got my contacts in teh phone but still can't get my calender to move over.
[HTC 7 Pro] andrewkeith5:
My suggestion to you John would be to get yourself a Google account, which you can sync using the Exchange protocol into Outlook, and which the phone can sync automatically. That's probably the easiest way of doing things.
[HTC 7 Pro] Barneyabz:
Hi all

Currently using an HTC Touch Pro 2 and was considering upgrading to HTC 7 Pro. Came across this post and am very concerned. Due to work data restrictions phone must be able to connect using ordinary USB cable. Is there no way that this can happen on WM7?

Thanks

Barney

P.S Was cosiderng WM7 v. Android and decided to stick with Windows (seeing as that is all I have ever had) This could be a deal breaker though, assuming Android phones can easily sync using USB.
[HTC 7 Pro] andrewkeith5:
My god where do you work!?

Unfortunately it would appear the draconian restrictions in your workplace are letting you down - neither WP7 or Android are designed to synchronise PIM data over USB. HTC have bodged together a not-fantastic workaround for Android which is probably your only choice...

Edit: By connect, what do you mean? Obviously any phone can connect, just not necessarily sync.
