[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otherreligion:
I have to agree with the others we were all warned that the beta 2 update was not your upgrade path to Full mango. you would have to restore first.

As for the text messages i think the best thing MS can do is release My Phone for WP7 and not just the find my phone part. MyPhone use to backup my text messages so i never cared about flashing my M6.5 every other day because my email were activesync and myphone had me covered for text messages.

Let's hope that MS brings some sort of backup to WP7. I hate that i can't play Puzzle Qust 2 right now because i know all progress will be lost from me NoDo restore point.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IM0001:
For how easy it was to get the beta and to update the beta to the almost official 7712, I do not see how we could not get some way to update to the official without rolling back. Rolling back isn't a killer, but it does seem like a pointless requirement for how seemless the Beta process went.

Only time will tell I suppose, hell if the 7712 is as close to 7720 as we believe, there may not be a reason to rush off to the official version right off the bat.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voluptuary:
I agree they almost for sure could let us update but I'm guessing they won't let us simply because right now our phones are carrier free, all the bloat is gone and the carriers are surely not happy with the idea of all these phones being untainted. So MS will force us to roll back to the crap filled nodo builds first to preserve the bloatware.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceesheim:
don't know for sure but , on the 7661 build if you looked at settings there was something like mojo build and isv 7661

if you look at settings now there is only a clean build number :P

so my 2 cents say that maybe we can update just normally.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmac729:
Hi everyone,

I am a newbie of Android and I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 at the virgin mobile this morning.

I didn't realize it at first but when I got home I found some disappointing camera shots............

Instead of the red spot that people are talking about elsewhere, my pictures shows some yellowish spot at the middle under the auto white balance...........

I checked the back of the phone and it says it is made in Korea, does that make a difference? Would that be a software problem or a hardware problem. Is there anyway to fix the problem?

I like this phone a lot and I don't wanna exchange it because it has an awesome screen.........but if the yellowish spot is a hardware problem then I have no choice...............
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sp1tfire:
Welcome to the club, but that seems more like green to me. I envy you for being special, everybody else has a pink spot :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godutch:
It depends on lighting and white balance, sometimes I get a pink spot, sometimes a green one, just choose a different setting and see which one gives you the best result
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmac729:
Thanks! but neither of them wouldn't be a "good result", I am just wondering if it is a software issue since I have no problem of taking black and white photos...........if it could be fixed with new firmware release then I can wait...........if not then I will just exchange for a new one.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] iunlock:
What are your thoughts about the screen resolution and contrast?

Coming from an Galaxy S 4G, G2X and Sensation...well not Sensation...but the contrast & clarity seems pretty good so far...

It's very apparent that the focus was on the camera and not the screen, but that's ok...it's good enough..

What are your thoughts?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
Part of me thinks that they focus on certain points and don't worry so much about others so that they can cater to specific demographics. The Sensation has a great screen and maybe more features with a fully loaded Sense 3.0 and the LG2X is really fast with vanilla android, and of course the Super AmoLED screen is a force to be reckoned with. You'd think if they put all of these things together they'd have a phone that they could sell for $500 and everyone would buy, but by doing things differently and attracting different focus groups with different features on different phones, they can probably sell more at $300 and people will continue to upgrade when new features become available.

The MT4GS has just what I want, and mine is on the UPS truck for delivery and I couldn't be happier. I wish it came with full-fledged Sense 3.0 but that's what the XDA forums are for!!!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] iunlock:
Indeed...IMO the Samsung Galaxy S 2 is just that phone with everything ..all in one...can't wait for its release...

I just got my MTS4G today and am very happy. The screen honestly to me is just as good as my former Sensation...

I noticed that in the settings there was the terminal app...hmm wonder if we can find out our screen type and where its from?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
The phone says made in Taiwan when you remove the battery, so I would assume that's where the screen is made - but it's WAY better than my "bad" MT4G screen!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] iunlock:
Thanks for the reply. I'm aware of that as with any phone it'll state where it's made, however, it is common for the screen to be made elsewhere depending on where htc or any company except Samsung buys their LCD's in bulk. Samsung produces all their stuff in house and is one of the biggest suppliers of LCD's to other companies. (I doubt we have a Samsung made screen though, I wish)

For ex. The Sensation has screens made by Sharp and a Chinese company.

I'll try looking in terminal to see if I can make a discovery.
[Wildfire General] nlovers2000:
I'm planning to buy LG Optimus 2X??

so whats the opinion about that phone??

any other alternative's???
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Not really. It's the cheapest Dual Core, and probably continue to be for some time to come. "Competitors" will be the Galaxy SII and Sensation, both at 30K.

It'll definitely be an awesome update from the Wildfire, so I would say go for it. And since you have decided for a dual core, I don't think it makes sense to look at a Single core, since it will only save you a few k at most. (And all you will get is probably HTC Sense)

Besides, looking at the O2X Forums, it seems it has got all the popular ROM'sin its library. ;)

hi, i want to post in android apps&games, however, i will not have access to do it untill i've posted 10 posts.

That's odd.
[General Questions and Answers] AnnoyingBunny:
Guys, not to be harsh, but did we really need to make yet another thread about the minimum post count?

The administrators and moderators on this forum placed the minimum post count to stop spam. If you really, really, really need access to a forum just pm a mod/admin - more than likely they will help you out of your pickle. Otherwise, just take some time and post around the forums you do have access to... just remember quality is always better than quantity.

Threads like this only encourage the minimum post count to be raised (considering the vast majority of posts are essentially trash).
[General Questions and Answers] saransh kataria:

[General Questions and Answers] rjax:
It would be nice if devs could lift the restriction on a per-thread basis. I'm sure it's too complicated to implement.... but the OP of this thread now has a thread in the Apps forum asking for beta testers for his app.

However, since he wants the beta testers to reply to the thread in the Apps forum to sign up for the beta, it's a little frustrating to have to make 10 posts in order to reply in a thread like that.
[General Questions and Answers] newbie4ever:
or maybe it was only # 2

[General Questions and Answers] rayzeur22:
this is going to be the thread where people eliminate their post limits, or at least thats what i'm doing :)

[Galaxy S II General] stonefox:
I search for an app. who can keep an eye on how much data calls, in/out coming calls, SMS in and out, and MMS in and out on my phone, but also allows you to insert a price on what each individual function cost of my phone company - help wanted for good ideas
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Can't say i noticed any app that could do that, but for me it's easier just to send an SMS to my provider and i get the detailed cost control. Or i can access my personal account on Vodafone site and see the detailed info. Doesn't your network support any of these options ?
[Galaxy S II General] stonefox:
Yes - but I'm going on holiday in another country and the prices are quite different from what I normally pay. Therefore, I would install an application with the required functions, so I'm not surprised at my phone bill when I get home.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leegreggs:
Hi ...bit of help ...on a budget , should I get desire s ...or DHD ....I'm unsure ....pros and cons ...

Thanks in advance
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sakai4eva:
Save up and go for Sensation if you must.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
+1

10chars
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Agreed.

If not stick with standard Desire, no S, no HD, its an awesome fone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sakai4eva:
A little more elaboration:

The DHD or DesireS only has a slightly better processor and Gingerbread. From the perspective of a long time an dedicated Desire user (ok, almost a year is long right?), the DHD or the Desire S isn't that much of an upgrade (or at least not worth the $$$).

So, since you are already considering the hunky DHD, might as well save up and go for the Sensation.

Trust me. Look at my post count. I'm REALLY experienced in this. And I did my homework when the DHD came out. It isn't that great.

[HTC Incredible S] constepatdyak:
hi guys. i saw the ARHD post and saw that i needed a new radio. I used alpharevx for S-off, but in ARHD post it also says i need radio s-off. how do i get radio s-off, or how do i know if it already is s-off? Thanks. :confused:
[HTC Incredible S] doctorsax:
You don't necessarily need radio S-OFF to install a new radio. You might be able to get it to install if you try this:

- Download the .zip of the radio you want.

- Rename it PG32IMG.zip (if it's not named that already).

- Move this file into the root directory of your SD card.

- Turn off your phone

- Boot your phone into the HBOOT screen. This is achieved by holding down the 'volume down' button on the side of your phone and then pressing the power button.

- After a few seconds, the system will detect the .zip file you put onto your SD card. You'll then see the following:

Parsing... [SD ZIP]

[1] RADIO_V2

Do you want to start update?

<VOL UP> Yes

<VOL DOWN> No

Select yes by pressing volume up. The radio should then install. DON'T turn your phone off while it's doing this, even if the progress bar on the right stops for some time. Once it's finished you can reboot, and the new radio will be installed and functional.

This may or may not work depending on which batch your phone came from. It will work with some (mostly earlier models, I think) and not with others. If you get different results to what I wrote above then you'll need to find a different method.

Hope this helps!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garethsimpsonuk:
Hi all,

I recently switched from an iPhone to a Dell Streak (android). It's gone well (there a + and - to both) and now I'm thinking of selling my iPad 1 and purchasing a Transformer.

I have tested one in a shop (no keyboard though) and it seems faster and lighter (although not as tough).

I'm still sitting on the fence at the moment and was wondering if any Transformer users can share their opinions and experience to influence my decision.

Thanks :)

Get the Transformer, it's WAY better. I know several iPad2 owners that have upgraded, and none of them regret it one bit.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garethsimpsonuk:
Thanks for the responses guys! Keep em coming.

Just to clarify I have the ipad 1 64 gb. It only has 256 mb ram which means 2 or 3 browser tabs and thats it!

The apps on the ipad may be better but to be honest, the only app I use on the ipad is the browser. If I switch over to android I can use firefox :-)

Looking forward to more responses.

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsacha:
I've used iPad 1 and 2 and must say I much prefer the Transformer. For what I need (pretty much a netbook), the iPad just is not compatible. There's no way to go around iOS with a keyboard (even if you did find a good dock -- there isn't one). There's plenty of things you take for granted with a laptop like connectivity that you simply cannot get with an iPad. USB OTG, NTFS drives, CIFS, proper bluetooth, actual USB and HDMI ports and so on. And then there's the whole iTunes rubbish. And yes, I used iOS 5.0 beta and you still need a computer to use an iPad.

I haven't even covered multi-tasking with switching between apps yet.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piromoplus:
definitely, TF!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nordicfastware:
Which is complete nonsense, I hate apple for all the limitation imposed to the customer simply to make money... the whole company policy is rubbish... The whole Itune thing is really about taking consumers for cash cows. However lots of people find a great comfort in having a very intuitive platform, so it also has its good sides...

>out of the box experience is much more complete with Android tablets.

Plus, say you buy a TF, should you need something that is not directly coming with it, be sure that someone out there is making it and sharing it... and it is all legal without warranty void.

And it is much cheaper.

Either I am wrong and Ipad (apple in general) is super top cool, or I am a bit right and Ipad buyers are users that have limited needs, or in some cases buy stuff cause it is cool and showed off by CNN news anchors while reporting.. (:rolleyes:)

It all come down to what you need the thing for.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ladybirdkp:
We have an iPad and the transformer at home. The trasnformer is actually fantastic- the ONLY drawback has been the lack of Netflix and Xfinity playback but I really think both of those will be available in a relatively short time.

I was really on the fence about keeping the transformer vs. the ipad and then we plugged a passport drive in to the transformer and I had a TB worth of movies ready to view! That makes it so much more to me than the iPad, I can remote to my desktop and with the keyboard dock it's amazing.

Not to knock the iPad, it's very very cool - but I really love the transformer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dorkington:
I kept both.

The iPad is a much better casual machine, the Transformer is a better productivity machine.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost2030:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w4rmk:
I have an iPad 1, a Transformer and a Galaxy Tab 10.1. Of all 3 devices the Tab is the best (overall), but the Transformer stands out for it's docking capability. The iPad is in last place with it's restrictive OS and limited customization ability. I also hate iTunes.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tengtengvn:
I had the iPad 2 for few weeks and didn't even use it for more than 5 times. It's just a bigger iPod Touch. ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendive:
I like the Transformer one main reason is because our company bought us all the TF101 32gb one. So free is always good.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottmog:
Get the tf if u have a laptop and ud like to combine the two. Personally that's what I'm doing. I had a laptop and a dell streak 7. Sold both and both the one. Much better battery life too.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwiftLegend:
Really depends on what you're going to use it for. I always felt that Apple products were more business oriented, because of the limitations Apple puts on the products. Some see them as Apple being dumb, I see them as Apple making pure productivity devices.

Don't get me wrong though, the Transformer is really good at productivity though to. There's more customization too, and more of an ability to change what you want.

If you feel like jailbreaking the iPad, you can, but then again almost every release is the same thing, not to mention you have to wait for the few devs that do work on the iPad to release the jailbreak. The Transformer on the other hand, already has 4 or 5 different roms, people are working on Native booting Ubuntu, side booting Ubuntu, and hopefully MeeGo (don't hold me to that). I wanted a iPad when it first came out, and still want one now, but the want is slowly fading, as Android is growing more and more into a better OS, and there are more app developers. I am extremely happy with my Transformer, and wouldn't sell it for anything.

I am an Android fanboy. I have 3 Android devices. My X2 is my phone, my Transformer is my tablet, and my old Droid 1 is my mp3 player :)

It does not matter what we say.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hound Dawg:
I was in the exact same boat you are in only 2 weeks ago. I decided to go with the Transformer primarily because of the Micro SD and the OS. It's so much easier to just swap out a micro SD card than it is to sync through iTunes. For instance, I like to have the capability to load up movies and apps for my 3 yr old daughter and then take them out and load up my movies. Go with the Transformer and you won't be disappointed... my 2 cents worth.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheIneffable:
I would prefer the Transformer due to it's versatility and that android has less of a "big brother" approach. The iPad does have more tablet optimized apps than any of the Android Honeycomb based tablets, but that all will eventually change as Android develops.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sconig:
iPad2 vs. Transformer

iPad2 - loads more apps, seemless UI, accessories galore, supported for at least 3 years, iTunes?, no learning curve (a 4 year old can use it).

Transformer - loads more customizations, widgets!, the best keyboard/accessory ever made for a tablet, costs $100 less then an iPad2, bigger screen, plays Flash!

Both - pretty much the same hardware specs, both execute apps almost the same and are very fast.

Thoughts - iOS 5 takes care of some annoyances like notifications with the new notification bar (I know android has had that for a while). Honeycomb 3.2 allows for app zoom (better looking phone apps on tablets), and better market support for developers (multiple APK's per App based on which device you are purchasing through).

In the end the choice is yours.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bud77:
I have to agree on that

No problem with apps, and on which phone/tablet

Most of the Androphone apps does not work/are not suited on tablets (transformer/xoom/etc etc)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garethsimpsonuk:
Thanks for all the great replies. I think this thread has pretty much summed it up for me.

Ipad - slicker, easier, better supported

TF - more power, less restricted, hardware keyboard

The thing is I'm not a trendy apple fan boy tat wants everything to work and be easy. I'm a technical professional that likes to mess with things!

My only concerns:

1. Lack of apps for tablets (as long as I can have a full browser that's fine)

2. Build quality - the ipad is made of metal. The tf is made of plastic. I li being able to chuck my ipad in my rucksack without being too careful. But I suppose a good solid case can help with that

Even so, I'm probably going to get a Tf. I'm going to test the TC with keyboard soon and will me my final decision then. Thans for all the helpful opinions.
