[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] day2die:
1. Samsung Omnia 7 has AMOLED screen and NAND memory which make it one of the best Windows Phone at the moment (unless you ran into one with 4.10.1.9 bootloader which can only be fixed with USB jig)

2. Mango will add multitasking, but apps still need to be need to be recompile to take advantage of it. It's not "real" multitasking, but back background tasking like on iOS.

3. Many games (Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Doodle Jumps, etc.) has been added, but the number is still small compare to iOS's.

4. Current Windows Phones are "cheap" because they have been release almost a year ago which in business terms is ancient.

5. Battery life really depend on the device. The HTC HD7, for example, have the worst battery life of any current Windows Phone because the HD7 has a huge screen and a very small battery.

6. I've never had an iPhone 4. My last was an iPhone 3GS.

7. Since Mango has already been RTM and will be release to handsets next month, I have to say the wait is over (unless you are looking for a newer model handset).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dstyl:
Battery Life is at LG Optimus 7 very good (1500mha), Multitasking is added in Mango Beta but too listen to tuneln radio in background you have too start it thru the Music app. Why they sell so cheaply i dont know but the LG Optimus 7 has the newest chipset (2nd Gen Qualcomm QSD 8655 ) and is the cheapest of all wp devices. I mean for an iphone you buy 60% minimum for the name and i think thats the point of the good prices :D. The rest i cant answer too never had an ipod ^^ i changed to wp from an very old Nokia 6630 ( ARM CPU 220mhz :( 20mb ram) to 1ghz and multitouch for me its an new world ^^. I would wait till Nokia releases his first Device Pallet this will do an big impact in the market and in the appstore when the biggest cellphone producer only sell wp7 devices but i think they will get up in the price so I dont know if it will reach for an Ipod but i get my LG for 149 euro new at ebay ^^
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domineus:
1. Catch 22 Samsung has great hardware horrid updating. Like seriously bad...

2. Mango does have multitasking but programs have to modify their code

3. yes

4. new batch of devices coming out for fall

5. HD2 battery blew. On my dvp I get about 16-18 hours on mango

6. Personally the iphone was too simple and I hated the app centric paradigm. I got bored with the iphone, but windows phone is really amazing in that it is information centered. The boredom is still there, as it will be with every platform, but you have to be honest. The metro look definitely is amazing

7. That's personal opinion. its up to you

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lord AnubiS:
Ok, so I was using an iPhone 4 until last month and I can tell you some things you maybe are going to miss:

The space on the iPhone 4: I had one with 32 Gb and a lot of music on it, now I have to select which music I want on my phone because, to be honest 16 Gb its quite a little for me sometimes. I can't download video podcast to my phone because of this too...

Picture Quality: No matter what everybody says about AMOLED or anything else, Retina Display is the King of the Hills on this one, everything look gorgeous on the iPhone 4. And Fruit Ninja looks way better.

Apps: Maybe you need/want some specifics apps, like Hulu, or an app to control your DVR, etc. they maybe are not available yet, but I hope soon everything would be here too.

Battery Life: Well, you've had an iPhone so you can get used to have a charger near you... forget that one. :p

And I think that is just it, that's everything I miss about my iPhone.

I am going to wait till a windows phone arrives with a higher dpi screen, gyroscopic controls, front facing camera and see if the marketplace improves some what.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpijper:
But there is always the risk that once it comes on the market, you will want to wait for a windows phone with a higher dpi screen, gyrostereoscopic controls, dual front facing cameras with higher resolution and see if the marketplace improves some what more ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeeam:
1) Firstly would the Samsung be a good choice?

Yes, it is. But Samsung devices had some trouble last update. And their "hackability" is 'worse' than HTC. The chance you have some dirty nice things running in you HTC is higher than it running in your Samsung.

2) When I used my HD2 running an early version of WP7, I got terribly frustrated that I couldn't run Tunein Radio whilst doing other things on the phone, basically has or will multi tasking be added?

Mango already have Multitasking, and it works fine. The apps just needs to be rewritten to support it, so third apps will not work that soon.

3) Games choice and applications were very limited back then, although this will not be too much of an issue as I will still have the Ipod Touch to fall back on, but has it improved?

Games is getting better day by day. Microsoft is paying directly the developers to develop to WP7.

We already have what we need the most; IM+, Kik, plenty of games. And the most important.. Fart apps.

4) Also why are these windows phones selling so cheaply, this concerns me, is there something pending that will make them defunct?

First.. WP7 doesnt need a freakin' core2duo phone to be smooth, like Android. Second, it doesnt have a freakin' apple graved in it. That's why. The processor is 1ghz, which is not great news. But it works lot better then Android does. Besides, it needs market share.

Probably Microsoft is putting the hands on it, and making sure it looks attractive.

5) Battery life, on my old HD2 running WP7 it was pretty bad, how do the range of WP7 devices stand up with there battery life?

Depends a lot. Like iPhone; if you keep using it the whole time, obviously it will be drained. And depends your network signal too. But I usually take my WP7 full charged at 7 A.M., and it lasts untill 01:00 A.M.

If I use it too much, like chatting all day long by Facebook, it need recharge at 6 P.M.

Mango extended it, and implemented some battery saving methods.

6) anyone else come from an Iphone 4, what are your thoughts ?

I had iPhone 4 and Nexus One. iPhone 4 is just a app launcher. Yeah, the apps are nice, indeed. But the OS? What it really does? Notifications. What more??

Well, it depends too much of apps, and sometimes you look at it and realize that you have billion apps that you never you use, full of messed screens, that shows nothing but a bunch of icons.

You spend your time searching what to do in your phone through the screens.

7) should I wait until windows phone has evolved more?

If I were you, would wait until first Nokia WP7 and buy it in the fist day.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
First off, This still has bugs and is not a completed project, hence the WIP tag.

I began porting the 9 lockscreen mod by Whitehawkx from the Vibrant, but our settings wasn't cooperative, nor was our random framework. Samsung kind of screwed us on this one, cause we're the only phone with this kind of a framework. So for now, I'll give you my slightly buggy ports of the AOSP and Puzzle lockscreens.

Because of the way that this mod works, this will erase most, if not all, of your current theme. Sorry, but it requires some custom changes to the Framework-res.apk, the system that's used to theme.

That said, my TransGreyFrozen theme still works over this, so if you want a theme after flashing this, try it out.

Requirements: Deodexed Rom, KG2 (I think, but it might work on KD1, not tested)

This is the AOSP lockscreen that Revolution has been using in his rom, for those who have tried it, you know the bugs. It doesn't do Auto-Rotation very well at all. I'm still working on that (off and on), but for now, auto-rotate is not very good. Use this at your own risk, I know it's bugged

http://www.multiupload.com/KK2YFBLJ86 - AOSP Lockscreen

The puzzle Lockscreen has the same issues with auto-rotation. The music player works, but the images are wrong, I'll try fixing those and reup the link quick, these are older links I had sent to a few people for testing.

Use at your own risk, I know it's bugged

http://www.multiupload.com/6AKYE84ER1 - Puzzle Lockscreen

As always, use at your own risk, i'm not responsible if your phone causes nuclear war. Make a backup before you flash these.

Follow the same flashing instructions we've had all along, check your mounts. Make sure that /system is mounted before AND AFTER you flash, otherwise you will (probably) soft-brick. If you do soft-brick/bootloop, as long as you can get into Recovery (Vol Up+VolDown+Power+Camera) you can always restore from your backup.

Todo:

Fix Puzzle Lock Music Buttons (currently in progress)

Fix auto rotate for Puzzle

Fix auto rotate for aosp

[HTC EVO 3D] Delano.888:
I have received my gsm 3VO yesterday, and it's awesome btw.

It has native screenshots, by pressing lock and holding it, then pressing home.

I really wonder if the US version really doesn't have that? If so, why? Why would HTC exclude such a useful feature from 1 version of this phone?

Could somebody please test? Remember: hold lock first, then press home, but really fast.

[HTC Inspire 4G] niezek:
it may not be released yet we would have heard more about it by now
[HTC Inspire 4G] chocodough:
It got released yesterday the 4th. It is being sent out 10,000 at a time.

And yes the leaked version is the final OTA release.
[HTC Inspire 4G] 00ChevyScott:
Where did you get your information on this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] jmichael15:
This is correct.

They released it yesterday, but I had already installed the one that was "leaked". So today I compared the official release and the leaked one, and they are in fact the exact same thing. No need to wait to recieve it OTA, just go to the thread where the RUU is avaliable for download. It's all the same thing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] chocodough:
I work for AT&T.
[HTC Inspire 4G] 00ChevyScott:
Including the GPS issues, and the removal of the HTC wifi update option?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrluggs:
Does ruu involve rooting? And does the update cone with sense 3.0 .
[HTC Inspire 4G] 00ChevyScott:
No, but it will whipe all your data. And no, sense 2.1
[HTC Inspire 4G] shorepatrol:
After GB install. GPS doesn't work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] badams1:
Ive been running the RUU update for a couple days now...no issues...runs great.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrluggs:
Is there anyway I can install 3.0 without rooting?
[HTC Inspire 4G] jmichael15:
No GPS issues here. Yes there's no more HTC wifi update option there.

Sorry to hear, my GPS is working even better then before. If I'm outside I get a near instant lock on. Try reinstalling..?

Same here, it works perfect for me. No issues at all.. love my phone even more because of it. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] lothodon:
simple answer, no. sense 3.0 will never be 'officially' released for the inspire 4g.
[HTC Inspire 4G] chocodough:
Try doing a factory reset to see if that helps with your gps.

After installing the leaked file I did a factory reset just for the heck if it to make sure things are all cleared out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SuicideMyk:
I wanted to install this just to see but when I tried I just got hung up on the HTC black logo screen

[HTC Inspire 4G] caddyman1989:
The leaked was released but no official gingerbread. The only official update released yesterday was for HTC Sync. They may not have put the info about the gingerbread update on there site yet. That's what HTC told me when I called.

[HTC Inspire 4G] ZeroRilix:
Where are you guys getting this info from? I looked at their site and it only shows the HSUPA update in the downloads. It does show 2.2 was shipped and 2.3.3 is current. Apparently, we are not important to all these tech sites cause they don't show any story about this. From what I can see, all this is all rumors. I will believe yall when I can see concrete evidence. The WiFi update still shows me no updates are available. Not bein a butt, but I can't find nothing but a change on the OS version on their site.

GPS is not supposed to work inside. You need to be in the open sky. If you had it working inside reliably then that was a miracle. GPS needs direct site. Anything thick above you especially metal will block the signal.
[HTC Inspire 4G] whitehooptie:
I've got issues with mine. The sms message contacts names keep going away and am only ledt with the phone number. Today, I kept trying to press call to call a number back and nothing happened. My email has a hard time keeping its settings for some reason. I've put them back in almost every day. When i open the email program, the current messages dissappear and it takes a really ling time to sync the email. It took over 20 minutes to sync the email when it is set to sync every 5 minutes. I made sure that the inbox refresh was unselected. I am downgrading back to 2.2 stock rooted......
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
I have been on stock rooted since Monday. The only issue I have is the messaging bug. Sometimes when I get an text from someone, it will show the number with +1 infront of it instead of the name, also no picture. I have to open the contact profile of that person and choose edit and save, no changes need to be made, then the name and picture will appear. I can't believe they are going to release the upgrade rom with this bug.

Black screen, HTC logo when using RUU.

I also have this issue when using the RUU. Has anyone figured out what is causing this? Still haven't received OTA notice in Austin, TX yet.

Inside my house, I get a lock at around 15 seconds and at around 30 seconds it is at around 20 feet. It doesn't work that good in everyone's house though. At my job, I get nothing indoors. Outdoors, I get a 5 second lock.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
Sounds like a bad flash.
[HTC Inspire 4G] james.nottus:
And this black screen does not have 4 icons in the corners, I can only get the phone booted back up after pulling the battery. RUU shows waiting for bootloader, then erasing user data however when the status changes to "Sending..." nothing else happens. I left my phone like this for over an hour.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
We already have threads talking about this. As for the so called contacts number bug. Sense as always does this sense the rest of the world uses numbers with +1in front of the number. I long ago swapped my numbers to this set up,and sense has never given me a prob about showing the name and contact pic. Please use threads that are already posted instead of opening a new one.

Has anyone tried either one of these yet?

http://www.arkon.com/htc-sensation-car-mount.html

I had the Arkon car mount for my G2 and it was great. It was great, especially considering the price. It looks like the official dock has the USB port built in, but I only use the dock on longer trips or when I am using GPS to get to point B.

I'm thinking that the flexible one might be interesting because you could take videos while driving, but it also looks a little less stable to me.

Hi Guys,

The above poster is correct, this has been asked and answered many times previously but to put it in simple terms, the answer is no.

In order to boot Windows you require a Windows bootloader, which the DHD doesn't have. The HD2 on the other hand (which boots Windows by default) can also boot Android.

Check em out on Ebay, you can pick up handsets reasonably cheaply if you just want a unit to play with.
