Social integration no doubt, one of my gripes is with the messenger system though. Message length is 160 char and no apparent rollover if you exceed that limit. Just won't send the message.

Edit: The OS is clearly still in an infantile state. Tons of potential, lots and lots of little quirks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
that was a mistake on sprint's part with the arrive... That's not a universal issue. My phone rolls over messages just fine.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Eh...I never see that limit. Wasn't aware of it. Kind of strange for there to be a limit...unless it is messaging through Facebook. Even then I never see that limit because I rarely have that much to say in each message.

My experience is quite pleasant at how automatically the messenger is. It uses FB messenger by default, I believe. And if needed it conveniently gives links to the other messengers when one isn't available. To me, it's so much easier and simpler that any other messaging system out there.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Problem is that Microsoft went too hard for # of features and not hard enough for quality of implementation. They were also way too insistent on copying certain Apple features - features that have bugged even the most hardcore iOS fans.

They made Marketplace kick you out to the App List when you install an app, just like iOS kicks you to the home screen. So everytime you install something you have to back out twice to continue browsing the marketplace. May seem like a small thing, but after you deal with it for a while, it becomes a huge inconvenience. I just cannot think of the logic that drove this change.

The WLM client works well when you don't have multiple mobile devices that you chat from. Otherwise it can bug out. Sucks for people with Smartphone + Tablet + PC or two Smartphones with IMs being pushed to them. It also refuses to send pictures to msot people I know becuase they aren't using the "latest version of WLM" (or a Mango phone, I presume). This includes the latest version of BeejiveIM, which almost every heavy IMer on iOS or BB I know uses... All it supports is sending pictures.

The social integration is largely forgettable. You get the same thing on Android devices (Sense and TouchWiz) since 2009 or so.

I don't know what they were thinking when they implemented the IE9 Mobile UI changes. It went from my "Go To" browsing smartphone to my "Ugh... Let's not go there." browsing smartphone. I liked Tabs and Favorites on that bottom bar, because it made power browsing much better than Android, which required menu presses to get to those things (iOS also has these things on the bottom bar, so now I do 90% of my browsing on my iPod - going through menus is just too damn clunky for me).

Oh, and Notifications... They're a sad state of affairs on WP7.

Bing TBT Navigation is the biggest of all jokes. Not only does it require phone interaction while using it, but sometimes when the woman is talking the phone doesn't register the taps, so you have to tap 2-3 times for it to advance. The directions also take up over half the screen and while they're up apparently you cannot switch to landscape mode?

Using facebook by default is actually a bad choice because a lot of people leave their browsers open with facebook loaded even if they're away from their computer, so it can cause you to send messages to the wrong place. I almost always toggle it to SMS if someone is on FB and not WLM.

If they're on Messenger it means either they have a mobile client logged in or they're on a WLM Desktop Client (which supports Facebook chat). In that case I'll send the message there. If they're just on Facebook, I'll assume (what has commonly happened) that they left themselves logged in in a browser window and send and SMS instead.

Priority should be WLM > FB > SMS not FB > WLM.

WLM DOES have the same risk with the Web Messenger in Hotmail, but I don't think I know 1 person who uses WLM in an IM window. Most people have their Hotmail going to their phone via ActiveSync these days.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I can see the issues with the Marketplace. Going to the applist is annoying. I also can expand upon them. The sorting of apps in the market need to be rethought. When I choose the "All" category in the "Apps" list, I get games also. I'm wanting to scroll only "Apps" and not games. The games have their own "All" category. I also want a rating filter so I can hide the filth (sex apps) so I can scroll without being offended.

IE9 isn't as good as the previous version.

But most everything else is very pleasing and I never have issues with the FB messenger. It lets me know if someone is offline and, if the message is important enough to spend the $0.10 on, I can quickly and easily switch to it. If someone walks away from their PC with FB on, that's their issue, not mine. They should be more mindful and responsible.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Also, this is not WP7-specific, but Windows Live has the worst Calendar/Contacts modules I've ever used. Duplicate Contacts everywhere, duplicate birthdays in teh calendar, etc. Something to do with how contacts are added when using the Contacts on the Web and Windows Live Messenger. (one contact has all the info, the other has just an email address). This is cool on a phone when you're linking stuff. Not so cool in Outlook, for example.

I've tried deleting contacts and the duplicate birthdays are still there, for example. They need to clean that up ASAP. It's worse than Google Contacts now, which is quite the accomplishment.
[Windows Phone 7 General] upichie:
You said that fanboys cannot grasp the idea that average, non-technical people use the majority of smartphones. Then you go on to say that iOS and WP7 are easier to use. But the figures clearly show that—probably due to the pricing differences—more average, non-technical people (the alledged majority) are buying Android phones. Does this not directly prove that Android is not too confusing for the not-so-technically inclined? Does this also not prove that an average person looks more at the price than the software menus when considering a new phone? Just food for thought. No argument intended. :)

Feature

:

1. a prominent or conspicuous part or characteristic

2. something offered as a special attraction

But oh, my good sir, it is the literal definition. :)

("Hmm... what phone should I buy? Well, I know that I can 'hack' an Android phone to make it better! That offers a significant, special attraction for my inner-geek.) ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
it's not strictly price but also availability. Wp7 is just now hitting some markets and still hasn't hit many. IOS can afford to be picky because that is part of the Apple "I'm better than you" mantra. However to re-establish dominance they are having to release the iPhone on more carriers. Android is available to anyone and when someone sees that their options are a tired old blackberry or a touch screen phone that resembles an iPhone they're going to go with the android device.
[Windows Phone 7 General] upichie:
I generally look at either the worldwide, the Asian, or the North American markets. If WP7 isn't available in some backwater country, it wouldn't really affect the numbers I check. But it would definitely hinder the product.

Android covers the low-grade and high-end markets with the massive amount of phones, and in my opinion, they're doing alright in each. iPhone has a large portion of the high-end market, considering their brand loyalty—and that their brand is comprised of high-end (or at least priced that way) products.

I'd like to see WP7 get into this market, and as you've said before, once the (hopefully) seemless integration with Windows 8 is evident, I'm sure it'll start to climb. I'm just not sure they're filling any holes by offering something new, nor are they making their phones superior to the competitors in old, tried-and-true ways. I'd really like them to push hard once Windows 8 is here, though. I'd love to see some excellent integration of the two.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The longer Microsoft waits the worse off they are. Ecosystems and app markets are sticky. Who's gonna throw away 300+ in media and app purchases nevermind drop the services they've grown accustomed to just to buy into sm hype?

[Windows Phone 7 General] Colton127:
After using Go Launcher, then trying TouchWiz 4 again, I can happily say I'm staying with TouchWiz due to your point.

Go Launcher is kinda laggy. Opening my Apps took 1-2 seconds, and moving screens had a bit of lag.

On the other hand, TouchWiz is smooth as butter and runs extremely fast.

I swear, Samsung doesn't fall behind in terms of software. TouchWiz is great - and Kies Air is amazing. Texting using my keyboard? It's epic!
[Windows Phone 7 General] PoisonWolf:
Okay.....so Marty's been really helpful in getting my HD2 up to speed.

I've been using a problemless Android for the past year now, where everything works and battery life is awesome (-2 or -3 mA on standby).

After a night of finally being able to put Mango on there (good God, the number of reboots, hard-resets, messing around with the reserved storage from 5% ~ 25% just to get the updates to pass). I hated this process. Googling has revealed that even OEM WP7 phones are having issues trying to get up to speed with Mango. My back hurts from all this. Lawl.

Since the device is constant, the experience of the UI can be solely attributed to the OS themselves. Having said that, I need to give it to Microsoft on this one. My technologically prehistoric device is amazing with WP7. I never really played with WP7 too much except for when I'm in stores, but I can finally understand the appeal of the OS. The scrolling, animation, etc, is just completely different. This was the biggest problem with Gingerbread, sure it "looked" smooth, but WP7's smoothness is a whole other ballgame. I'm curious as to how the HD2 will perform once the ICS is brought over. It remains to be seen how well their HW-acceleration drivers/code is written as of yet.

Other than that, everything is working great so far, everything syncs, including my google contacts/calendar (which by the way is awesome since that was my biggest fear about transitioning from one ecosystem to another).

My only gripe is probably the issue regarding my Data connection and WIFI. The devices shows H but is much slower than 3G or H (likely Edge). This is the same with Wifi, it is 20 ~ 35% of what it was in Android. I'm attributing this to some radio issue or the fact that WP7 was shoe-horned into the HD2.

Overall, very impressed, but we'll see how battery-life fares over the next few days. This might actually work out as I don't really download stuff in general and just need the browser and mail-syncing. My Nook Color will handle my Android needs for now as it is quite obvious that the WP7-marketplace is......deserted when compared to Android/iOS. :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
it's far from deserted, just not so big on the junk apps. Pretty much every major service one might need has an app though. I'm glad you're enjoying it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PoisonWolf:
I'm looking for a money tracking app (on Android, I use Droid Wallet). Know of any that will take .csv files?
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
file type is a different story I suppose. I use argent and it works well but one that reads CSV files, for the time being, is unlikely as it'd require access to your dropbox in the same way some e-readers do.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Try Sky Wallet. I don't know if it does .csv files, but a sweet thing about WP7 apps is the ability to "Try" most of them at no cost.

Actually, while in the main page of the market, tap the magnifying glass icon at the bottom and type in the search field, "wallet". There will be a list pop up with a bunch of choices that might just do what you need.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ranessin:
Can you please link some of these games for Android you've developed, and for which you keep using those four Android-devices?

Or the ones you developed for WP7 - they have a web market now after all.

Usually the person making a claim is the one having to back it up with a source. You claim Android comes dead last with Symbian on a "user satisfaction" list. You should be the one providing something to back you up on it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PoisonWolf:
Thanks for the input guys. I will look into this. For now, my phone is charging. Here's to seeing how the battery life is like!
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Ranessin, I will gladly share the links to my two WP7 apps when I get home, I don't have any android apps on the market anymore as my graphic guy and I had a falling out. I don't develop for a living, merely a hobby.
[Windows Phone 7 General] upichie:
He also stopped using his Android phone because he couldn't figure out how to tweak it, so... don't have high expectations. (But please, z33dev33l, do post the links. I really need a good laugh.)
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
I can assure you that I have had, and likely will continue to have more android phones than you likely will. I stopped tweaking them because I want to make sure the apps don't have any performance issues on un-modded phones and because after you use something smoother android just feels choppy and un-responsive regardless of tweaks. I even ditched my galaxy tab for a blackberry playbook and that felt way low but I only use my tablet for browsing and it does have an outstanding browser.

ok here is the problem my screen wont rotate did a soft and hard reset and all only time it switches view are when i'am in the andriod market ,netflix and so forth ,but at the home screen everything is the long way now it cool when iam reading my book or my comic books and i think i can deal with it but i do like it when its the other way too any help with this problem would be great:confused:

What ROM are you running?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SouthPhilly:
You need to be a bit more informative about the problem brother. Things like what model do you have( wifi only, 4G...) are you running a stock unrooted Tab or are you rooted and running a custom rom, if so which rom and are you using the stock launcher or a 3rd party one??? It'll help us to figure out what's going on.

Now after rereading your post a few times this is what I'm understanding. When you say "long ways" I'm assuming you mean portrait... right? That would mean that your Tab is stuck in portrait (longer from top to bottom and shorter from side to side) and the only time it jumps to landscape is when you go to Apps that are written to automatically switch to landscape when opened, like the Market and Netflix. You also say that you've done a soft rest (meaning completely powered off your Tab) and did a hard rest (meaning you did a factory rest) am I right so far???

If I'm on the right track with what I've posted above and this is assuming that your running a stock unrooted Tab and the stock TW launcher you could very well have a bad accelerometer. That's the sensor in side of our Tabs that tell it how your holding it. If you did a factory rest (hardrest) then that should have reset your Tab it exactly how it was when you took it out of the box. And auto rotation would be set on by default.

Go to settings> screen> and make sure you have "auto rotate screen" checked.

Hit us back with some more info so we can try and help out a bit more.

Hey SouthPhilly...

I am having the exact same issue, and have done a reset to factory on my device and the screen still does not rotate unless forced to by an app.

Just wondering if you were going to launch in to a possible solution.

Taking a quick look at the logcats provided showed that both had a database access failure due to a missing column (gid) in the sms table (/data/data/com.android.providers/telephony/databases/mmssms.db). This might point to a software/version mismatch in the data table definitions between TelephonyProvider.apk and Mms.apk and/or framework.jar. If these don't all come from the same build, that might be the source of the error. Don't know enough about the genealogy of the port to know if they come from different builds, but it might be someplace to look.
