This is probably one of the best descriptions I've heard about WP7 & couldn't be more true. While WP7 is not perfect. It does indeed grow on your & 99% of what you need to to you can figure out how to do in some ingenious ways. It is a beautiful thought out OS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Aphasaic2002:
GUI and the essential smart-phone stuff (email, calendar, contacts, social media integration) work really well. I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised!

Bad things you'll discovered compared to iOS is lack or apps, and lack of google maps and other google services. Remember WP7 uses Bing, which is very USA-centric, and Microsoft keep regions very cut off from each other. So if you do live in France as your avatar suggests, you may find several features (such as maps and local scout) don't work, and the French app store may be pretty sparse (and no you won't be allowed to access the UK or US one).
[Windows Phone 7 General] phoneguy 4567:
I 2nd that. WP7 as far as services go is a worse experience outside the US, & something you should look into before making a decision.
[Windows Phone 7 General] OndraSter:
Many people complains about the need for Zune Sync instead USB Mass Storage. I am the opposite one - I like this better. Why?

You are sure, that the phone will play the music or movie (converting 1.5 hours long movie took 3 minutes on my PC).

Also, when you are watching movie on phone, then close it somewhere during the movie, sync the phone to PC and open the movie in PC (through Zune), it will continue where you left off - that is something that without Zune Sync can't be done.

I use Zune for listening to music anyway. Just drag & drop the music on icon of your phone and once you connect it, it synces all the changes and adds music and what not.

And major PRO for WP7 is the UI. Best UI around. UI designed for phone from beginning, that is not just rows and columns of icons.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
wait for the iphone5. it will blow android out of the water. wp7 is lacking too many standard features other os's have. the ui of wp7 is fluid, but the novelty wears off quickly when real tasks are at hand. then the tie in with zune, lack of usb mode, backups, and waiting a year between updates with zero user input for future updates, etc

iirc the rumour mills say iphone5 will be an LTE device... which would be gerations of awesome ahead of wp. give wp7 a few years to mature... kinda like linux on the desktop ;-)
[Windows Phone 7 General] omnomnomkimiiee:
Except that I've been on iOS for three years, I'm a iOS 5 beta tester, and I'm sick and tired of iPhones :)

The novelty in iOS 5 is very limited, and the UI has been the same since iOS 3 ...

[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
A change in ui may be just what you need. The applications just aren't there though. Android has a loooong way to go to catch up in that department, and wp7, well I just don't know if it will ever catch fire enough to justify devs spending any time on it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
I use/used both Android and WP7.

I prefer Android over WP7 hands down ATM. Why?

WP7 Pros

Clean UI, simple

Metro concept

Stable and well optimized

All the services built into UI

SkyDrive

MS support

WP7 Cons

The same on every device without any customization

Horrible lack of features and functionality

Half functional outside US

Lack of devices

Dreadful homescreen.

It's personal as all of the opinions. It didn't grow on me, quite the opposite.

However of all the Cons only one is a really serious one: lack of features and functionality plus idiotic forcing users to use cloud for many things. I would easily choose WP7 over other OSes if the functionaliy would be brought back and SE would produce the device.

But sadly it doesn't look like it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] omnomnomkimiiee:
One of the recurrent comments is that functionality is drastically reduced outside the U.S. Just how bad is it, really ?

[Windows Phone 7 General] Aphasaic2002:
Bing maps doesn't work in Taiwan. At all. I just can't search for chinese addresses that are found easily in google maps.

Also there are zero points of interest in Asia. Want to find the nearest Mcdonalds? Good luck, doesn't work here. This means that the "local scout" and "local search" features are both broken.

In terms for app store, I signed up the UK store (no Taiwan one), and it's ok, plenty of apps. BUT on a semi-regular basis some WP7 site will post about a new cool app, and I'll try to download it, and i'll get a "not available in your region" warning. This happened recently when MS released 2 free Xbox Live enabled games for the phone, that were US-only...so annoying.
[Windows Phone 7 General] omnomnomkimiiee:
Hmmm. I'll have to enquire about functionality in France.

Sent via my magical HTC Wildfire S.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Yes it is. No Maps functionality besides displaying the map, so no search or any connected services.

No Market besides free apps, I mean that's a real problem too.

No Zune Pass.

pros: beautiful and consistant ui design, basically no lag whatoever, intergrated everything (office, facebook, twitter, visual voicemail etc.) powerful search app (nearby, music, barcodes, cd covers, books etc.) live tile are great for info on the go, xbox live integration, no worries of fragmentation with MS's hardware requirements which means all apps are for all phones, regular updates (even ahead of MS haha) plus much much more...

cons: no flash player, no tethering (yet), app #'s are behind, limited customiztion

First of all, sorry in advance if the answer was right in my face and I missed it. I did search for a way to overclock my g2x running weapon g2x 2.4 ROM but I could not find it. I have read different people's post stating that they use the same ROM as I do and that the are overclocked.

I would really appreciate if someone could point me to the place where I can download the necessary files that are used and can give me step by step instructions on how to install and use properly.

Thank You in advance.

[Vibrant Android Development] ursubpar:
I'm seeing tons of GB GPS fixes for the vibrant even though most will not work.

I saw GPS files for the bell and virgin vibrant posted here and files for the

telus Fascinate 3G+. These files

will not

work because the vibrant carries a different hardware radio.

The T-mobile US Vibrant is a special variant as our phone is the only galaxy s device (other than the SGS4G) that has the 850,1700,1900,2100 bands, all other galaxy s variants have 850,900,1900,2100mhz bands. Our vibrant requires 1700 3g because thats what tmobile US uses for 3G, because of this difference we need a different hardware radio, That's also why we cannot use i9000 modems on the vibrant for tmobile US The bell and vibrant are just rebranded GT-i9000's and the Telus Fascinate 3G+ looks like a vibrant but may even be more similar to a captivate because of the hardware radio. Even though they may have the same styling or name it

does not

work because of the hardware radio.

The Captivate has a near identical (FM Radio is not present) hardware radio that allows it to use i9000 Modems and GPS files, same with the telus fascinate.

The vibrant and the SGS4G have different hardware radios to support 21mb/s HSPA+. These two hardware radios are similar enough to allow GPS to work but remain modems non-functioning. Romans GPS fix worked but had long lock times and poorly working compass.

Heathens Gingerbread gps fixed worked on the vibrant on 2.2 very well but fails on 2.3. What I think is the vibrant may have hardware similar enough to allow some files to work on one version of android but maybe completely useless on another version of android.

Just so you guys know,

Bell and virgins vibrants

ARE NOT

T-mobile US vibrants

Telus fascinates

LOOK LIKE

but

ARE NOT

T-mobile US vibrants

International galaxy s vibrants

ARE

Bell and Virgin Vibrants

Rodgers captivates

to at&t captivates

The i9000 galaxy s and the bell and virgin vibrants

[Vibrant Android Development] Telanis:
You're going to have to explain why the cell radio affects the GPS. There's a different antenna and GPS is not controlled by the radio firmware.
[Vibrant Android Development] ursubpar:
What I believe is that GPS hardware is some way tied to the cell radio. Like maybe the i9000 GPS is not compatible with the vibrants cell hardware.
[Vibrant Android Development] jackhuny:
My guess is because we using different radio we cannot just port a working GPS modem from other carrier to our vibrant.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Just one tip philliple...when trying to sound like you know something never use the term "what I believe is". Don't get me wrong I am guilty of it also. Instead you might say "correct me if I'm wrong but..." Gives your statement an air of confidence and knowledge yet gives you an out if in fact what you said is incorrect. And I do know how old you are, we all do so respect there.

That said you are correct the GPS does require data in our case cellular data. While we can use the gps without cell data, on a wifi connection for instance, because the GPS is on a phone the code for the drivers would be written to connect to cell service. Therefore GPS files, such as drivers (some files that don't require code to the network will work, such as GPS conf.), can not just be pulled from any phone. This is why the files pulled from the Vibrant 4G work and the ones from Captivate do not.

Here is a link to a little light reading for anyone that wants to learn more about the GPS on their phone...http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33637/how-does-gps-in-a-mobile-phone-work-exactly Pay close attention to the AGPS section. This is what our phone uses. Never-mind the fact that whats written in the link was posted a couple of years ago because it is still the same priciples.

[Vibrant Android Development] KWKSLVR:
THANK YOU for posting this. It's great that so many people are trying to get GPS working, but what works for one person right now isn't going to work tomorrow or work for most people.

It's gonna take time.
[Vibrant Android Development] ursubpar:
Haha thanks for the information and the tip
[Vibrant Android Development] p()()pypants:
Not being rude but all you did is give a long winded "our phone is unique" statement, something that anyone who has looked at this forum since getting a vibrant would realize...

Not really sticky material. Nice info though. Maybe talk the the author if the vibrant bible and you can get a link in his thread for info.... Still doubtful.

Btw, the current v1.5 gps fix from strictlyrude for the cm7 variants seems to work great for me outdoors.
[Vibrant Android Development] jamesyl:
I don't believe this is correct. Our phones have GPS hardware are capable of independent GPS, that is GPS without data assistance for a lock. It takes quite a bit longer without AGPS, but it is entirely possible. Try changing your GPS to standalone mode, disabling all other location services (via WiFi and via cell tower) and putting it into Airplane Mode, then launch Google Maps. You can obtain a lock.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
And I agree with you however my point is that the driver is written to allow for the cell service therefore the drivers written for other phones are coded completely different. The Vibrant4G on the other hand uses the same cellular technologies that our Vibrant uses and that would make the coding of the driver very similar and thus useable.

I said that the link was slightly outdated but the principles remain.
[Vibrant Android Development] Demetris:
i just flashed Fascinate 3G+ 2.3.3 rom to verify on my Vibrant,

he is correct gps is different but roms functions good to my eyes,

only problems are no boot-sound volume rockers are reversed, buttons are the same, power button the same, modems works very well as wifi and data also.

I couldnt hear any sounds in games but i had sound when phone rings, and of course gps is not fuctional :(

So fascinate is almost a Vibrant :)

Btw my bootloader shows SGT-T959D lol and i have Telus white screen with green letters after.

Market also works just fine.

Gosh you're only in 8th grade? I was just like you at that age. I remember being in middle school and the i386 by intel had just come out, and I was lucky enough to get a computer based on it. It was 16mhz and I was so excited. No FPU, but had a seperate socket to install one. It had 256kb ram I think, and the hard drive was something silly like 10mb I think. I took the computer apart like the first week I got it!

could you explain what these tweaks do?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DynamicRam:
read this http://www.bbh-plus.net/showthread.php?5618-Syssctl-Config-tweaks-explained&

-Min Free KBytes (vm.min_free_kbytes) -This is used to force the Linux VM to keep a minimum number of kilobytes free. The VM uses this number to compute a pages_min value for each lowmem zone in the system. Each lowmem zone gets a number of reserved free pages based proportionally on its size

-Dirty Ratio (vm.dirty_ratio) and Dirty Background Ratio (vm.dirty_background_ratio) control how often the kernel writes data to "disk" (in our case the internal microSD system card, not the removable microSD card). When your apps write data to disk, Linux actually doesn't write the data out to the disk right away, it actually writes the stuff to system memory and the kernel handles when and how the data is actually going to be flushed to the disk. These values represent a percentage, the higher the percentage, the longer it waits to flush, the lower the percentage, the more often flushes will occur. Now remember, we are deeling with solide state storage, not the traditional disk platter and spindle. So we are actually able to delay flushes a little longer with solid state versus a traditional hard drive disk

-VFS Cache Pressure (vm.vfs_cache_pressure) -Now here is where it gets interesting! File system cache (dentry/inode) is really more important than the block cache above in dirty ratio and dirty background ratio, so we really want the kernel to use up much more of the RAM for file system cache, this will increas the performance of the system without sacraficing performance at the application level. The default value is 100, as a percentage, and what you want to do is lower the value to tell the kernel to favor the file system cache and not drop them aggressively.

-Oom Allocating Task (vm.oom_kill_allocating_task) (enable or disable, generally in Linux this value is either a "1" or a "0," representing as on or off.) -This enables or disables killing the OOM-triggering task in out-of-memory (oom) situations. If this is set to zero, or disabled, the OOM killer will scan through the entire tasklist and select a task based on heuristics to kill. This normally selects a rogue memory-hogging task that frees up a large amount of memory when killed. If this is set to non-zero, or enabled, the OOM killer simply kills the task that triggered the out-of-memory condition. This avoids the expensive tasklist scan, which can take mass amounts of time and "hang" or freeze the system.

I'm on infused 2.1.0 and infusion 1.1 and my quad is around 2800 and linpack is around 26 but those don't matter cause your quad can show 1000 but your phone be quick as hell. Its not about that, its about overall quickness, smoothness and stuff like that. Cause your quad can be high but your device lag like hell. Also if your about it being real quick turn off all animations and get a different launcher.
