having used all three OS's a lot on the HD2, i can give you a fairly good idea of what id do but its very much personal preference.

There is nothing wrong with wm, I personally think its an amazing OS, yeah it doesnt look as good, yeah it doesnt run as fast but its a work horse and will do anything.

the other two OS's, WP and android are two very different kettles of fish, WP is in my opinion the best PHONE OS out there, it has a lot of great features especially around exchange support and social networks. android is a bit flaky in my opinion, but appears to have more "modability" If you dont like the whole idea of uploading to a clould then that only leaves android and WM, in my humble opinion WM wins from a userbility point of view and android wins from a interface perspective (WP wins that if you include that in to the mix!)
[HD2 General] baraks:
mmm food for thought....

personally i'd go for WP7 BUT MS insist not giving me an Activition key they told me to contact HTC for that beacuase "it should be provided withe your new HD7" (MS Israel) i sent mail to MS USA and they told me to contact my local MS service... so WP7 is a dead end for me...

the idea fo giving google all personal information with Android is also disturbing me but there are a very good and usfule apps in it like Whatsapp (that i use daily)...

on the other hand WM provides me a better an much more convinent way of data Sync to my PC and most of the apps that i use on Android can be replaced with equivilant apps on WM exept Whatsapp...

the G-sensors on WM don't work on all apps (like WAZE that i use daily) kind of annoing...

my friend is a Developer he told me that Android works better on the HD2 i don't know how or why or if it's true even thou the HD2 is WM native...

so i really don't know what to choose very confused and tierd of flashing from one to another just becuase "every one use this OS or the other" :(

honestly i think that when HTC built the HD2 they aimed for WP7 and Windows will always work better on it and Windows is much more convinient for data Sync. no "special" drivers is required or some other tricks just to allow me to connect my HD2 to PC....

Me knowing that there are no more updates for WM6.5.x from MS holds me back call me stupid but it makes me think that this platform is dead (and i know it's not true)

bahhhh very very confused...... :(:(
[HD2 General] se1988:
I have tried wm, and wp7 and android, and HyperDroidCM7v3.1 is the best ROM for the hd2 that is out there now. Just give it a try and you'll know what I mean ;-) Really.
[HD2 General] baraks:
i'm currently usin it if you look at my sig.

and in my former post i explaind myself about my opinion but yrt kind fo dont know what to do... i thought about dual boot of WM and Android but it's not a solution because i want to use one OS.... not a GAZILION OS's.....
[HD2 General] Mister B:
I stuck with NRG WM6.5 on my hd2. Tried android on HD2 & also via HTC Desire with native Android. Android lacked in a lot of areas I needed daily & is in no way a great looking or clever GUI. I use NRG Dinik further modded by myself & it works perfect for me in business & pleasure & is solid & all functions I use & have tested work well, closest a phone OS gets to having a PC in your pocket.

Have very little experience of WP7 on HD2, used it on native handset but not enough to go verbal on opinions.

Main call is down to how you use your device & what you prioritise, unfortunately you are one of the few who are caught with needs that can not come from one OS.

Best you can do is work with the OS that comes closest & resolve lacking apps ect the best you can ...

I am surprised that a whatsapp alternative for WM has not materialised & also surprised the XDA app never went to WM.

WM is not dead & will be in real use for some while yet but chances of new applications & any form of evolution within the OS itself is unlikely. Shame really as 6.5.5 had a hell of a lot of potential, if MS had developed it faster Android could of been unknown & buying or flashing a phone would of been much simpler.
[HD2 General] se1988:
Well, it comes down to a matter of taste really... You prefer WM, use WM. I prefer Android, because it owns everything else.
[HD2 General] baraks:
By saying everything else, what do you mean??? I really dont understand the difference between all the os's....

For general knowledge i use data sync alot with my pc lots of mail use office acrobat reader gps and im soft.... if this helps to advise me...
[HD2 General] se1988:
Android can meet your demands and more. Maybe WM is good enough for you, but give Android a try! I promise you, you will never go back ;)

Why drive a Toyota Corolla, when you can have the Bugatti Veyron for free?
[HD2 General] dazza9075:
Because you will likely crash an burn in the bugatti and it will cost you more in the long run.

WM is solid, if the OEMs and networks didnt screw it up so much then it might still be a leading contender today.

as it is, WM is the best SMARTPHONE OS out there, in my opinion WP7 is the best Phone OS out there (android would fit in to this if it wasnt bloated and becoming more fragmented by the week) There is a big difference between Smartphone and phone, and iOS, android and WP do not fit the bill for a true smartphone.
[HD2 General] Mister B:
You get my vote, could not of worded it any better.

MS have to take some flack for not developing it faster & reducing OEM derived bugs by creating a base platform that did not need so much modding & stayed more in MS control.

WM is an amazing Phone OS & I find it so wasteful & short sighted on MS to of totally dumped it ...
[HD2 General] baraks:
Dude i'm driving a Suzuki swift 09 with 102HP and i would not swap it for buggati its too rich for my blood even for free... lol

For the os wm is the best out ther i use android just because it has whatsapp....

As i said before i dont bellive on the cloud..... it's stupid imo...

Android feels like a toy to me and suits more for teens WM feels like i have a smaller version of pc in my hand
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Indeed WM is the smartest in base platform functionality & closest any phone OS has been to a notebook in your pocket.
[HD2 General] baraks:
is there a way that you can tell me the differance between th OS's WM Android and WP?

exept that Android is LiMO based.. i mean the overall difference...

UPDATE: (1.10 20:45 GMT+2) got back to WM6.5 21916 Energy ROM CHT2.0 4.7.11.... and it feel so GOOD :)

UPDATE: (2.10 2:33 GMT+2) Restored my NANDroid WM keeps on freezing :(
[HD2 General] se1988:
Well, I do agree that WM WAS a good OS. Just too bad that both support, myphone and marketplace has been discontinued, just to let WM die a silent death... At least Android is guaranteed to keep up for a long time to come :)
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Have a look at this link (if not done already!)for some comparisons comments on various OS's

If your WM is freezing you need to review HSPL/Radio & ROM build you are using & perhaps apps you install !

The 23699 is my favourite & most stable Energy ROM & the 290xx builds are good if you want newer ROMs (New does not always mean better) ...

---------- Post added at 12:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 PM ----------

No big deal never used it anyway.

I have all personal apps & work apps on my own server archive & also contacts are saved on server & via Gmail so we can access & install anywhere if needed.

Why rely on a 3rd party when you can be in control yourself.

As for Market appeal, personally I prefer sourcing apps originally via good old web searching & checking known bugs & best builds(latest ain't always greatest) ...

If you find installing loads of poor quality apps and never finding favourite version of an app again a great hobby then yes a market is a great tool !
[HD2 General] baraks:
i don't think it's HSPL/Radio ROM since i havn't changed them since last radio rom update (2.15.50.14)

maybe some app (i susspect the XDA_IE_6.1.cab)

and my favorite build is 21916, didnt like that the start is on the bottom bar...

btw when i Sync the Outlook all my appointments nd holydays are duplicated on the HD2 (and i didn't PIM backup before Sync)....
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Interesting how we all differ as I find the lower start bar far easier for touch input ...

Have you tried these tools for duplicate cleaning ! never tested them myself but thought would mention them as you might want to review them;

Starting a thread where we let each other know different place where google wallet could be used. That pay pass app isn't the best for finding places and I've found a couple place not even listed on there.

I used google wallet at McDonalds, Best Buy, Rite Aid and Castnet Seafood in New Orleans. Feel free to share your experiences.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalgel:
Hi,

I just got my S2 yesterday and I realized that if I open up task manager from a cold boot the idle RAM usage is around 300mb which seems pretty high considering I have no apps running. Even if I try clearing memory, the lowest it will go is 285mb. Is this normal or is there something wrong with my phone? How do I free up more RAM?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Android will cache apps into ram to improve performance etc.

Also the os will use some, this is normal we have 1GN of ram, don't worry about it.

I would love to learn how to help out.
[Huawei Ideos X6] subhajitghosh88:
Thanks for reply...
[Huawei Ideos X6] brainofmachine:
more than sufficient option

for changing lock screen what i can suggest is that use third party lock screens..they are much better with custom wallpaper selection,icons for shortcut to apps direct from lock screen.some of them are go locker, magic locker.they also supports themes and there are so many themes in playstore.my personal recomendation would be magic locker with htc sense 3.0 theme.try it

[Thunderbolt General] microdot:
I have run Gingeritis 3D and Bamf 2.4.1 and suffered from the "call answer bug" on both roms. i also read that this affects almost all hybrid and sense 3.0 roms.

(for those not familiar with the bug its when you get a call and it bypasses the lock screen and goes to a screen where your only option is the red "end call" button and you are forced to hang up on the call)

I installed one of those "shake to ansswer/call" apps from the market and today i received my first bug after installing that. I was able to shake my phone and answer the call even though it was on that screen.

This is huge for me and i hope it helps the other people who has fell victom to this random but awful bug

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cabbie12:
ok..so I see that there are very few options when it comes to roms on the cdma tabs. I've seen the question asked a few times on here with no real answer.

This is the one definate answer I have found:

Flashing a gsm modem on a cdma tab will brick the device. I believe the same when it comes to kernals.

So on to the question...

Can I flash the overcome rom to cdma tab? If so HOW??

That rom with the blue steel theme gives me a chubby just looking at it:eek:
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvtjoker42:
No, you cannot flash a gsm rom to a cdma tab. The kernel will brick your tab (soft brick if you're lucky)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TracZ:
I have with all three OSs but somehow iOS and WP7 feel much more stable. They never crashed yet, iOS can't even crash I think, while Andoid crashed many times. It it because of the linux based kernel?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Your question doesn't really make sense. Android is not unstable. It just depends on your rom and hardware capabilities. If they are good, your device will be fine, if not, then of course it's not going to be the smoothest thing in the world. So blame your device (even if it's a good device, you still need to make the best out of it), not Android.

Android seems pretty stable to me, I've never had any crashes on my SGS2, I've had a couple force closes but I'd imagine that's down to apps being bad rather than the actual OS.

This sounds like it was started as a troll thread by the OP to me :(

Given the right conditions, any piece of software can crash and do so hard

iOS is a very modified verison of unix/bsd (well unix serves somewhere under it as the base), which is what linux is modeled after. Take that as what you will.

Neither iOS or wp7 allow users the chance to screw up your phone nearly as much as android does as well (well unless you have one of those android phones with a locked bootloader).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spikeyjohnson:
Another thing you need to take into account is the hardware restrictions used by WP7 and IOS. With WP7 you have to meet the minimum requirements set by Microsoft. IOS hardware is only built and created by Apple and each model is now only being supported for so many years before they won't allow it to be updated to the most recent IOS version.

With Android, you have multiple manufacturers creating a variety of devices where there is almost no hardware restrictions except whether the phone will run the ROM or not. Android phone hardware can vary by huge amounts of memory, CPU speeds, and GPUs.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quick6black:
if there are problems it has to do with the manufacturer of the phone and the rom they developed, not android. Get a nexus phone, stable, fast, smooth, and it has the vanilla version of android. After I removed all the bloatware off my phone and installed cm7, my captivates been a different phone. Makes me remember why I went with android over IOS or wp7.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otnos:
Everyone seems eager to fork over their hard earn money to be Google's beta tester. But I'm more surprised at how people take pride in how "stable" android is, while they have to hack the beck out of it for it to be a decent phone.

Did you expect everyone to say android sucks on an android subforum? I think you would want to head to the apple subforum if you want to hear that.

People use android because it works for them. However, it may not work for everyone and those that it does not, are more than welcome to use a different phone :)
[Vibrant Accessories] fscussel:
Hello, I've bought a cable to use the TVOUT, it's a standard 3.5mm -> 3 RCA one, but whatever rca plug I try to connect to video just produces an unstable image, I can see that it looks like the phone screen, I can read the hours in the clock but the image is redish and unstable. How can I fix that? I don't see a reason for the cable being the problem because all those 3.5mm cable are exactly the same, 3.5mm in one end with 3 receptors linked to 3 rca in the other extremity.
[Vibrant Accessories] fscussel:
I'm using Bionix V2, I believe it has VOODOO color, could that be the cause?

If u have the same cable as me the colors don't match up try different sockets for the plugs.

Red in yellow yellow in red.
[Vibrant Accessories] fscussel:
i've tried all combinations possible, that's not the problem, the strange thing is that all 3 rca plugs produce an image, distorted one. I believe this cable is bad made, like a short circuit of all 3 rca ends.
[Vibrant Accessories] poisx7:
I dont think its the cable,Its the rom assuming u are using the right settings NTSC /Pal.

its seems like itz the configuration of the ROM. Some the ROMs have this problem.
[Vibrant Accessories] fscussel:
now the very strange part, i've tried re-wiring the cable, i've tried resoring an original rom, and i get exact same problem (distorted image). I believe it must be the cable's 3.5mm plug that is deffective. it's the only explanation left.
[Vibrant Accessories] reick_md:
I done mine by trial, i connect the other end on the TV and other end on vibrant and play video, then try 1 cable at a time, it takes me around 20 min to figure out correct connection with the help of paper and pen.
[Vibrant Accessories] fscussel:
i've cut the cable and tried every possible mix and it didn't work. The only cause I can think off is that the 3.5mm plug of this damn cable is messed up, short circuited.
[Vibrant Accessories] nerve101:
How old is the cable its pretty hard to find a short circuited cable.
