[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boredtoday:
in terms of speed, there really is no significant difference as wp7 is optimized to run as fluid as possible in all of the devices commissioned to run it. this is why there's a minimum requirement in terms of phone specs before they can slap wp7 on them.

about the screen, it depends on what matters more to you-- screen size or picture quality. if you want size obviously you'd go for hd7, but in terms of picture quality omnia 7 eats hd7 for breakfast.

hackability: hd7.

promptness and reliability of updates: hd7.

battery life: about the same.

my wife has hd7, i have omnia 7.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstarlight:
battery life about the same? Hd7 1350mAH, Omnia 7 1500mAh..
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tessut:
Samsung Omnia 7

I would say you should buy a Omnia 7 because it has NAND memory a HD7 is good for Custom ROMS:cool:
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnderPsp:
Battery life is about 30% better in Omnia7 in a mix use (data, browsing, marketplace, phone calls etc).

For standby, I suppose it could be similar but from my experience that's what I found and I also confirmed with my friends.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UranusHertz:
NAND Flash and Super AMOLED in the Omnia 7 makes it a winner in my books. Who cares about custom ROMs? (Unless it brings about better bluetooth, wifi and cellular functions)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstarlight:
well, isn't most custom roms brings that things ? :D let's see may be i'll choose omnia 7 :D
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keefo:
My GF has the Omnia 7 and its a great phone!

i prefer it to the HD7 anyway...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hungelt8:
the screen of OMNIA 7 is less clear than HD7.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sab8th:
I can't comment on the HD7, but my Omnia 7 is a superb piece of kit. The clarity of the screen is second to none and is visible in direct sunlight.

Battery life for any of these large-screened, bit processor phones is going to be an issue, and I don't believe there are significant differences in power consumption between phones of similar screen sizes.

On the downside is the presence of banding in some images (something to do with the screen being 16bit (I think)).

The NAND memory in the Omnia is faster than that in the HD7, but I believe that this was levelled out a little in the NODO release.

Other than that, buy either and enjoy... :cool:
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singularity0821:
The Omnia 7 is awesome. The screen really is what makes it stand out. But maybe you should wait a month for the next generation of WP7 phones.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwiftLegend:
I don't know about you guys, but I hate to have my music, movies, and other media on my internal space. Yeah it's 16GB and all, but I always feel that it bogs it down.(kinda like on a pc) I download music a lot, and the app lets you put in a custom path for it, but I can't figure out how to direct it to the my SD card. I tried /Removable/MicroSD/Music , /MicroSD/Music, and other combinations, but no luck.

Just curious if there is a way, that I'm probably overlooking.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derfasaurus:
You never say what app you are using, have you tried PowerAmp? It allows you to select music folders in Removable.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwiftLegend:
I've been away, so I haven't checked back since I posted this. But ugh, I use Music Junk and Mp3 download to get my music. (don't go con-pirate on me)

It's not telling a music player where to look, it's telling the music downloader where to store. I guess I could just deal with having to transfer them over, but it gets annoying and I usually forget.

NOVA 2 has been on my marketplace since the day I got the phone. It always showed up in the "More Games" list. I've had the phone for a few weeks.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] typikal82:
it has, but that always linked you to gamelofts webpage site, EDIT: Just tried it and it takes you to the VCast store.....

the OP is saying NOVA 2 is now available in the trusty Android Market, although it is 6.99. I think it's cheaper directly from Gamelofts website. (Edit: it is)

6.99 on Android Market

6.99 on VCast Store

4.99 on Gamelofts website
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
Gameloft also has a buy one get one free offer going now. QUite annoying to have to pay 2 bucks more to get it from the markets or verizon. But I heard it won't show in the xPlay launcher if you don't buy it from there (also annoying).

I heard the reason their newer games aren't always in the market is because theres too many different versions for different phones.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] wired84:
From what I have heard you should be able to have several different versions within one market item, so it becomes optimized for each different phone installing it.

On other point, order and chaos does show up and even allows you to click on it, but it does not allow you to install it :S

[Motorola Photon 4G] squshy 7:
I haven't seen this question asked yet, and I feel like it's the elephant in the room here. what are the different "boot modes" you can select when booting into the bootloader menu, and what do they do? surely someone has some documentation. Some of them, from their title, seem very interesting, and makes me consider the development potential of this phone, and possible moving over to it from my epic.

Any insight would be great!

Has no one experimented with these yet, or have any knowledge?

I would like to know this also. Specificlly if I can do a factory reset from there incase I put the Phone into another Bootloop. I put it in a Bootloop this afternoon, luckly pulling the battery fixed it, but wondering if what my saftey net is.

I would Imagine that fast boot might work if I had the right file on my SD
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Techdread:
The play wakes up sometimes if the home key is pressed while in my pocket, this solve's the problem:D

Phone must be rooted and Root Explorer or an alternative installed.

- open root explorer and go to /system/usr/keylayout

- mount as R/W

- open keypad-pmic-zeus.kl in text editor

- go to the line KEY 102 HOME WAKE_DROPPED

- delete the text WAKE_DROPPED

In the gmail app, whenever I get mail, I will get a notification instantly. I wonder, is this same thing possible for gmail within the HTC mail app? Because that app is so much better looking and easier to use..
[HTC EVO 3D] cruise350:
HTC Mail app is a pull app not a push app. The only way to get instant notification is if you have sync set to sync every minute which of course would drain your battery in about an hour.
[HTC EVO 3D] Delano.888:
Ah damn that sucks. Why couldn't HTC just skin the gmail app as well..
[HTC EVO 3D] MojoSwag:
I actually get push mail through the htc app. I had to set it up manually. Setup like an exchange account put M.google.com. for your domain. Works for me

Holy **** that actually works.
[HTC EVO 3D] Buff McBigstuff:
It works but is it safe to uninstall gmail?
[HTC EVO 3D] MojoSwag:
I used to use this on my windows phone to get push gmail back in the day. I don't think its okay to delete the gmail app itself though. I just turned the notifications off for it so I don't get double notified and turn the sync off for it.

I am new to this forum, to fascinate and to root/flash things.

I know about the solution offered at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1178544

But it is not working for me because samsungPST is not talking to my phone. I rooted phone with superoneclick and it worked like charm. It has no problem taking to my phone as I have all required drivers. I think may be I need ODIN method to recover instead of SamsungPST. But I dont know anything its just guess.

Here is the thing I want to do:

-My phone is 2.2, ED01, rooted by superoneclick method.

-No partition or flashing is done. It runs same stock android 2.2 though I removed some crappy VZ apps with the help of Titanium Backup.

-Now I want to bring my phone to non-root, 2.2 android, ED05 factory state.

-How can I do so?

I appreciate step-by-step guidance if anyone can provide me.

Use odin instead of samsung pst to flash the ed05 package in the link...follow the steps and your done.

Thanks for quick response.

Please guide me through steps. for example there is pit file in the package, I dont know what to do with it. I am not familiar with ODIN either.

I highly appreciate your time. But PS give me exact step so I can follow it.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
dowload odin v1.7 to computer and open program

power off phone and pull battery

plug in usb cable and hold the volume(down) until download mode appears

place the ed05.tar in the pda fiunction(NOT PHONE)

place the atlas 2.2 pit file in the Pit function

click start and it should take 5min

wait for it to say "pass" then "reset" before you unplug the phone

insert battery and reboot

[HTC Sensation] BBOOZE:
Does anyone have an issue with text messages not being sent? Oftentimes I will send a message and then immediately get a message that it was not sent. It will try 3-4 more times. I can "solve" this by opening up the browser which activates the data connection, and then the message is sent no problem.

It's been a bit annoying so just wondering if anyone else has seen this. I actually had this issue with my G2 as well so maybe I need a new SIM?

I also have this issue, though sometimes it seems related to a particular text, because if I send another one, with different writing, it will frequently send and then allow the other to send as well.

Using GB stock on G2X (my 3rd replacement) and its been pretty good so far. I was connected to wifi and wanted to toggle it off so I hit the button on power control and it got stuck turning off. In settings it said turning off and was no way to turn it back on. Bluetooth and radio was still able to be turned off and on.

I had to turn phone off and on to fix the issue.

Anybody else have this issue before? Never happened in Froyo for me and I have a feeling it might be an issue related to wifi calling.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartyB95:
What I was wondering is if there is a way to create the various images that are used by NVFlash from an existing ROM setup?

I am running GTabComb 3.3 (BL 1.1 version) on my G Tablet and have used both NVFLash and CWM to install other ROM's for testing. My issue is that it takes a while to recover back to GTabComb after flashing the ROM. I have used Titanium backup to make a copy of all my apps and data but the process to install all the apps again takes quite a while.

What I was hoping is that there was a way to create the image files from an existing setup and then use these as a basis to restore back to my "base" any time I need to using NVFlash.

Is this possible?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekrhino:
+ 1

I was wondering the same thing. Instead of having to start from scratch.

Can we just nvflash back to the rom of our choosing?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Sure you can. Just take a backup of your current NAND flash partitions using nvflash. How do you suppose bekit and roebeet created those part*.img files we use in the first place?

[GUIDE]Backup of your BCT AND Partition with NVFLASH on the gtab
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartyB95:
OK..So I looked at the link, downloaed all the files and read them over.

I have a GTablet that is on a BL1.1 ROM and I have a couple of further questions to help clarify things.

1. Is there some sort of mapping or descriptions of what each of the partitions is?

2. In rebeet NVFlash restore the config file has the images going to the following partitions.

BCT = part2.img

PT = part3.img

EBT = part4.img

MBT = part5.img

BLO = part6.img

MSC = part7.img

OGO = part8.img

SOS = part9.img

LNX = part10.img

APP = system.img

In P00r's rev2 backup the images are reading from the same partitions except that instead of system.img for partition 11 it is being read int part-11.img. If I rename this to system.img and remove the - "dash" in the other part-xx.img names then it should produce files that I can then just use rebeets restore to flash my gtablet with correct?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
If you want just the mapping, read the gtablet.cfg file in bekit/roebeet backups or partition.txt in p00r's backups. As for descriptions of what each partition is, that info exists in bits and pieces on this forum. The SLD board had, if I recall correctly, a single thread where an attempt was being made to collect more information on the unknown partitions.

That's correct. You will also have to rename p00r's partition.txt to gtablet.cfg to match bekit/roebeet's naming scheme. Just edit p00r's backup_gtablet_rev2.bat file.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartyB95:
I successfully backed up all my images and renamed the partition.txt file to gtablet.cfg. When I restore back I am getting an error that there is a syntax error in the config.

In the Process.TXT file that I renamed it looks like this:

PartitionId=2

Name=BCT

DeviceId=19

StartSector=0

NumSectors=1536

BytesPerSector=2048

PartitionId=3

Name=PT

DeviceId=19

StartSector=1536

NumSectors=64

BytesPerSector=2048

In bekit/roebeet's gtablet.cfg the partition info looks like this:

[device]

type=nand

instance=0

[partition]

name=BCT

id=2

type=boot_config_table

allocation_policy=sequential

filesystem_type=basic

size=3145728

file_system_attribute=0

partition_attribute=0

allocation_attribute=8

percent_reserved=0

filename=part2.img

[partition]

name=PT

id=3

type=partition_table

allocation_policy=sequential

filesystem_type=basic

size=131072

file_system_attribute=0

partition_attribute=0

allocation_attribute=8

percent_reserved=0

filename=part3.img

There is a lot more info in this file and each section has a tag that is in [].

Did I misunderstand you? I just renamed the partition.txt file to gtablet.cfg. Was I supposed to do something further??

I also noticed that the APP and CAC partition sizes are different in my backup vs the std 3388 layout that bekit/roebeet provide. Can I just modify the existing bekit/roebeet CFG and update the sizes based on the calculation of number of blocks * 2048 blocksize to give me the size for the APP & CAC partitions???
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekrhino:
I've been quietly following this thread in hopes to successfully get an NVFlash of my 3.3BL1.2 going. Please keep in mind I'm very new to trying to make an NVFlash.

Here is what I got so far.

1) After Running "backup_gtablet_rev2" to make an NVFlash Backup.

2) I renamed Part-11.img to system.img

3) I renamed the remaining parts by removing the -(dash) from the rest of the parts (Part2.img through Part10.img)

4) I renamed backup.bct to gtablet.bct

5) I copied all those files from the nvflash backup over to my gtab.nvflash.1.2.branch.20110617 folder with all the other files (overwriting those with the same name)

6) I edited the gtablet.cfg file in the gtab.nvflash.1.2.branch.20110617 folder to reflect the correct size of the newly named system.img file (Originally part-11.img)

7) I executed NVFlash.

It flashed successfully with no errors.. However upon rebooting it seemed to be in a bootloop on the second bootup screen (Before trying this I recently changed all three of my bootup screen including the bootup animation).

After waiting for about 15 mins while on the second bootup screen I decided I would reboot into recovery and wipe data/cache and reboot with bootloop on second boot screen resulting.

I decided I would try and restore from a CWM backup I made before I start all this experimenting.. That was successfull so I guess I need to find out where I went wrong..

I can only guess where I went wrong was editing the gtablet.cfg file from gtab.nvflash.1.2.branch.20110617 folder instead going ahead and renaming p00r's partition.txt file to gtablet.cfg and editing that file to reflect the correct size of the newly named system.img file. I did try that originally but I got the same syntax error that MartyB95 was reporting. Hence my going with editing the gtablet.cfg file in the gtab.nvflash.1.2.branch.20110617 folder instead.

Suggestions?
