I like it

had a wm phone, an iphone, a couple of droid devices, then picked up the HTC Surround on a whim because my contract was up and Telus was offering a free xbox 360 if you took a WP7 device and a 3 year contract. So I took it, and I like it.

I find it to be a bit more data-centric device that just seems to be more seamless for alot of things. It doesn;t seem to follow the my device is acting as a phone now, a mail device now, a chat device now, a music device now, a browser now model that iPhone, and droid do. It just seems to switch from one to the other more fluidly then the other devices I have owned. As stupid as it sounds there new marketing campaign about how its designed to be a device to get you in and out quickly is something I can really relate too.

I am not saying its the best device or platform out there but currently its the best one for me.

Another thing I like is the fact that in almost a year of owning this thing I have pretty much only turned it off when I had to do the updates for it, or when I flashed the DFT rom to it, and it has never locked up or crapped out on me

Lol you WP7 haters swear your opinions & ideas are God's word... Just because some of you spend all day on forums, or own multiple devices, or are from some other country where you pray to the android robot, or pretend to be some uber IT guy does not mean your opinion actually matters. We like the OS, when will you figure that out? No incorrect/biased *****ing from doministry or you others will change that.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Muvolt:
The file system still breaks my nerves. Everything I want to do has to be over the internet or via Zune. I hate this...I love the phone (especially now with Mango) but heir ecosystem made me to listen to music less times, not to read pdf files, not even take so much pictures...I didn't even use a custom ringtone, because they made the process time-wasting. I'm bored to do it with their way and they don't give me other options.

And here is my solution: They could have implement Zune code inside the explorer so we could use our devices like they were external hard drives. With this way, the explorer could recognise all WP7 devices and give us access to 3 (not more) folders (documents, music, photos). Inside these folders we could throw txt, pdf, docx, flac, mp3, wma, wmv, avi (divx), etc and keep Zune manager as an option for those who really need it...but, MS still want to do it with the hard way...

It's really unbelievable that in 2011 we can't transfer pdf, txt, mp3 files inside WP7 with the most simple way...by just opening a limited root directory under My Computer and throw them (with drag and drop or paste) to their specialized folders. I know that we currently can do something similar with library folders etc, but we must open Zune, and syncronize them first...it's stupid. Where is pdf, divx, and flac support? They are only a few lines of code which will make thousands of more people to love WP7. My old Nokia 5800 could automatically cut an audio file if it had to be used as a ringtone. Why MS force us to use audio editors for such simple tasks? Where is the simplicity of the device if it can't be used like all the other devices on our systems?
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
The question is rather who cares about your opinion, especially with such meaningless posts.

---------- Post added at 01:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------

WP7 is not really about simplicity.

It's rather for you beeing glued to other MS services. That's why it will never be independent device, even if it's easy to do.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
WP7 with Mango is exceptional. Much more useable and interesting than the launch version. There is much better support for conveniences in Mango and because of such conveniences I would say Android is beginning to have real competition. Things like being about to pin shortcuts to certain switches combined with its cleanness and quality give WP7 a better experience than iOS and create an alternative to Android.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
WP7 is about being "glued" into MS services? And android and ios are about being locked into their ecosystems. Do you see google maps on WP7? An icloud client for Windows Phone? Yet MS has released apps for some of their services for other platforms, continue to improve them, and even plan more (Lync, Skydrive). Why is it then that MS is the only one being singled out and bashed for trying to integrate their smartphone OS into their ecosystem?
[Windows Phone 7 General] GManLynx:
Thanks everyone for their inputs, I think I know what I want to know so I'll probably stop checking this topic every day. Thanks to everyone's input.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Of course you are right but I you just didn't really understand my post.

Of course every maker/company is trying to build ecosystem around it's devices, which has many advantages.

But what I'm saying is that WP7 is not fully usable without PC because apps are limited,

when you can forget about PC for a long time on Android just because it's more capable in some areas.

Do I regret it? Not really. It's impossible because I kept my Vibrant with an Active SIM card in it. Would I do it again? Absolutely not.

Don't think this platform is worth investing in until Apollo at least, when both the OS Software and Hardware have caught up with the competition - HOPEFULLY, since Google and Apple will have another 1-2 OS revisions by the time that's going out to consumers.

[Windows Phone 7 General] magisterrivus:
It's almost always the android guys starting flamewars on WP7 and spreading lies. Probably they have too much spare time....because they are currently flashing their Android device :D

I owned an Android phone myself. It was nice etc but i spent waaay too much time flashing it because the stock ROM was hardly usable. Now with WP7 it's almost boring...in a good way. It has everything i need and just works. I mean...it just works. No lockups, stuttering and "strange" UI.

WP7 just rocks and will take over the world as the xbox did :cool:
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
You would quote WMPoweruser, a site that over exaggerates everything for hits. I've only experienced one of those "issues" and most of them are reported from one user. Why don't you quote sites complaining about Android? There's about 5000 new posts a second about the lagging/freezing/battery/overall **** up that the OS is... You're quick to avoid those.

[Windows Phone 7 General] lekhwani:
Though there are some limitations in WP7, they have a very genuine purpose. Too much freedom leads to too much tinkering which in turn leads to complications as well, not to talk of the time wasted on flashing new roms.

WP 7 seven has a very disciplined approach. If one is disciplined, less are the chances of chaos in ones life.

Microsoft and Nokia are not playing child games. Nokia left meego for wp7 because MS assured them they will leave no stone unturned in the development of this wp7 platform. Both Microsoft and Nokia have too much at stake in the success or failure of wp7. Wp7 can only grow much stronger from this point.

Just watch every week from now on. I am sure every week will be full of pleasant surprises. Pluses of this platform will highly surpass some minor minuses.
[Windows Phone 7 General] finalzero:
I agree with lekhwani.

I have worked in the corporate sector for sometime now. Like many companies my previous employer jumped on the bandwagon and started to move away from BlackBerry and started rolling out iPhones (and eventually iPads).

But they were (and still are) a Microsoft shop meaning all of their infrastructure and desktop technology is latest and greatest from Microsoft. The Infrastructure guys really didn't like the Apple products, pain in the arse to integrate with the rest of the systems and never really felt like business devices (they are consumer centric after all). Something like WP7 is a breath of fresh air and long overdue. As a developer I have been waiting for this device and I know the Infrastructure guys at my previous employer are rolling out a trial across their head office.

Microsoft are not stupid, they know they can't compete on the consumer market (yet) with Apple but it's only a matter of time. People get bored and want something new eventually. Android is just too Google for most people now. Google is starting to lose some of it's hardcore fan base due to their strange habits and odd decisions but time will tell (can't fault Android, great geek OS).

I just wanted a phone that worked, that felt totally integrated (and not a whole load of apps in one place) but more importantly something that would fit into my Microsoft centric world (I am a .NET Developer by trade).

It's funny the people who slate WP7 are usually the ones who have never actually used the product. Every time I show the device to people they are very impressed with the look and feel, speed and all-in-one integrated feeling. Sure it doesn't command a market share yet but with Nokia on board I am expect good things to happen now.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Hahaha it's starting to be so hilarious.

I personally didn't flash my device even once, it just works.:D

WP7 is 100% consumer centric.

[Windows Phone 7 General] species5618w:
I moved from an LG Optimus One running Froyo to an Optimus Quantum running mango.

It certainly get some getting used to, but in the end, I wouldn't say I necessarily regret the decision. Android and Windows Phone 7 have somewhat different design philosophies. If you want to do everything the Android way, then you will be sorely disappointed. However, if wp7 can satisfy your needs, then it delivers these functionality in a more elegant and polished way. It's just a more smooth and integrated experience, much like the iOS, but with more integration and less emphasis on apps. It also has more (not to mention cheaper) phone selections than the iOS, but obviously a lot less than Android.

IMHO, it's totally up to individual consumer to find an approach that is suitable to your own needs.
[Windows Phone 7 General] XxAndrexX:
I tried out an Android phone today, it rocks, but I prefer the old windows Mobile 6.1, if the marketplace wouldn't be discontinued, I'd remain with it. Anyways, I don't know why but I prefer my windows phone to an Android, even you can do a lot more, but WP7 is cleaner, and smoother, like Windows against Linux.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I showed my Focus to my nephew and he was very impressed. I was looking for a picture on one of my phones and pulled both my Focus and iPhone 4 out to find it. As I was looking on my Focus, I went to the homescreen, which has Angry Birds tile, and he took note and asked,"what phone is that?". I told him about it and gave him a short tour of WP7 Mango...the games, multi-tasker, voice nav and so forth and he was immensely impressed. He played a couple games and checked out the operation of WP7 and commented how buttery smooth it is. I then told him when he could upgrade he should consider a Focus, that he could probably get one free now...or at a very low price ...and was very interested.

Another potential WP7 owner. :) And the good part is, he's a young, connected, person with many friends. The word will spread.

apps don't go on the SD card, they go on internal memory - which is 1GB so shouldn't be an issue

Hello everyone, i have a big problem. Today a rooted my x2 with super one click, and installed Titanium Backup to see what is this.. so in some time app stopped to work and whole mobile freeze, okay i remove battery and turned mobile again in hope that everything will be okay, but there is problem, i normal turned him again and he started to load himself, the first LG screen passed, the second "login sound" passed, but on third LG screen, before when asked me PIN code x2 freeze and i can't do anything except again remove battery and start over again..

So anyone know where can be problem i will be grateful to him.. Have a nice day.. ;)

I think its better than doing nothing though :)

Android.modaco.com had a guide last time i used nvflash but thats a long time ago.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlbailey:
Put Cyanogen 7.0.3 on two week old Gtab.

Love the speed but it offers only one email acct. I need multiple email accounts.

Back to stock ROM for the multiple email accts but miss the speed of Cyanogen.

Rather than trial & error thought I'd ask...

What ROM is fast, stable, supports multiple email accounts, supports market and preferably has Flash?

If your looking for the benefits of stock, but fast and stable, check out http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1024120

Double check your bootloader before flashing anything. But this ROM meets all your requirements.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pickens:
Why don't you just use a different email application like K-9 mail? It supports multiple email accounts. No need to switch roms.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hexbug:
I am using GTabComb 3.3 beta, and Flash works great (I use Dolphin HD browser). I also have 4 e-mail accounts (gmail), and market works great (after the Market v3.1.5 upgrade that fixes the processing error). It is a Honeycomb ROM. Highest Quadrant score was 3808, with most around 3700+, so I would say it is pretty fast. It is also very stable. However, a couple things don't work yet, mainly the camera. So if you can live without that, I say go ahead and try it!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolis626:
Hey guys,I am thinking of taking a leap of faith and I'm going to flash CM7 on my phone,but I have a minor issue here.

I use to connect my contacts to Facebook to get their photos when I call them etc.On TouchWiz roms I use the SNS Facebook account to do it and,on my previous HTC devices,I used to use Facebook for HTC Sense.Both do the job well and the photos that appear on my phone's contacts are ok resolution-wise.However,when I try to do the same thing with the Facebook app,resulting photos are low res and terribly pixelated.I assume that I don't have any alternatives for CM,so I'm asking you,can I do anything about it?Not that my decision is going to be based on this that much,but it would be nice to have everything the way I want it. :)

Does minecraft pe work on the wildfire? My friend has this phone and also wants to play minecraft on his phone.

[Verizon Droid Charge] SuperFan86:
I work in a building that has a wireless signal booster. The booster works on 3g and apparently overpowers the tower outside the building (4g) and takes over my phone dropping me back to 3g.

I know that you can turn off the LTE part of the modem and default to CDMA mode only but the only other option I see in Mobile Network Settings is to go into dual LTE/CDMA mode.

Is their a way that you can just turn off CDMA mode and be on data only LTE?
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
Hmm I would guess settings>wireless network>mobil networks>system selection>lte automatic

maybe
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
That would be a negative; on the GB leaks "LTE Automatic" has been replaced with "LTE/CDMA." Also, your signal can drop to 3G while in that mode (obviously).

I'm using Apex 10.1 & Talon 0.5.1.3 kernel and I want to know once and for all, where does the ram go after a few days of using the phone?!

After I'm rebooting the phone, I have about 180 mb of free ram when I'm closing all the apps (using task manager).

After few days of using, the phone become laggy and I have 90 mb of free eam after closing all the apps.

Where have 90mb of ram gone?!

I tried to use the drop caches in memory freak, but it doesn't help.

Can you explain me + help me?

that kernel has a memory leak, it loses ram over a long uptime.

you can try another kernel or you can reboot your phone frequently until the dev finds and plugs the leak.

I think I will stay with this kernel and restart the phone every day.. hope the will find a way to fix the leak..

What can i study in order for me to work as a web designer/ ui designer? keep in mind that i don't wanna study engineering , i dont like all of those math courses, algebra, physics ... do they teach it in universities or do i have to sign up in an institute?

I dont think there's a career such as "ui design" but there must a "web design" right? there must a "branch" in graphic design, i dont think im right for grphic design since im terrible at drawing what do you guys think ?

It would be IT where I'm going to college. That would include html, mySQL, php, and some other happy fun stuff :) Possibly Javascript.

-How cruel is the golden rule, when the lives we live are all golden plated-
[Off-topic] Archer:
UI design is generally an overlap of developers and graphic designers. A graphic designer is needed to make it look good, but a developer is needed to make it practical. Between them both, you get a good UI. Well, that's the theory anyway.

If you want to do UI design then you need to decide whether you want to do it from the design point of view, or the development point of view. If you want to actually build websites, then go the development route. If you don't, graphic design is probably the best bet.

There's also games development and design, which does have a particular branch that involves GUI design, but that's usually part of a quite heavy games programming course.

I've personally never heard of a UI design course. I'm not saying that there isn't one, but after 15 years in the industry I've never heard of anyone doing it as a job, either, other than in games development.
[Off-topic] Chad_Petree:
Thank you, your reply was really helpful , i want to do it from the design point of view, something i've learned here in xda is that a programmer does not make a good designer and viceversa, sometimes people make great programs but they're hideous, with lack of good taste and too many things/colors going on for example

What about " web design" is there a actually a course for that? :confused:
[Off-topic] LordManhattan:
Yup, i studied that. Okay, not web design, but that was included. I studied multimedia design. That included web design, 3D, photography, and film.
