[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] m00nelph:
yea I posted on both Otter and Ballistics Fb pages and at first both said no, was happy to see Otter decide to make a defender but yea, a Ballistic HC style case is what I would really like so I can just toss it in my pack without a second thought.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] marygladys:
I have a Trident case and it is OK...not as heavy duty as a Kraken case or even a Cyclops but my 5 year old stood on it and has tossed it around a bit on the carpet and it has been fine. Was I upset? Yes! The case is more for protecting against scratches and light bumps....not for a little rockstar in the making!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] contradude:
I own the aegis case and it's nice. Keeps my device safe and i paid $25 for it from Amazon. Looking forward to a defender series but in no hurry now
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] alxrock:
I was hoping for a Cyclops series Trident case but since Aegis is all they offer I grabbed it from amazon for $25 and I'm pretty happy with it.

It was a bit of a pain to get the hard plastic shell over the silicone case (I entered hboot several times) but since I've had it on, I really like it. I just wish they didn't leave that bit of an exposed area if you don't use the stylus mount.

I was between the army green, red or cyan blue, and went with the cyan blue. I like the contrast, and it looks great.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] littleemp:
Hello there :D Long time lurker here, usually I don't bother posting unless I can't find the answer anywhere else (and this happens to be that kind of situation), so I'm here asking for help deciding.

Anyway, I'm in the market for a new tablet (strongly prefer a 7 incher, the portability of it is a huge selling point for me). I've had for a few months a COBY 7 inch tablet, and while the form factor is really great, I want something newer, shinier, and better :o And so I'm stuck choosing between the HTC Flyer and the Acer Iconia A100 (The Viewpad 7x looks nice, but too expensive and the Thrive 7" comes too late for me, I want to order on Black Friday), so if you guys could fill in with your thoughts on the following subjects (would like to hear from owners of both camps), it'd be great to help me decide!

Display quality: Which one has the better picture quality/more responsive? Do I need a screen protector (i.e. no Gorilla Glass)?

Performance: Which performs better in your experience? I'm having the worst time choosing between a faster single core and a slightly slower dual core.

Battery Life: From what I read, the A100 is pretty mediocre here (under 5 hours). But I'd like to hear your thoughts anyway.

Mod-ability: I read that the Flyer has an HC ROM out, but is it rather difficult to install? I'm by no means an extremely advanced user on Android, but I know my way around tech, like to experiment, and with sufficiently detailed instructions I can get by fine.

Although the difference in price is about $20-30 atm, I would also need to get an MHL adapter for the flyer, so for all intents and purposes you can consider the prices to be the same. Which should I choose?

(Posted this also in the A100 forums to get opinions from A100 owners)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ATownI20:
Just my experience

Can't speak to the Acer tablet, but I am a PROUD owner of the US Wifi HTC Flyer.

I've been a member of this site since 2007 lurked, learned, and have become pretty good with the Rooting/Development process. I do it for all of my friends and actually make money from it as well.

Now to your specifics.

I put screen protectors and cases on all of my devices. Just gives me peace of mind seeing as I like to show off the devices and let others test them out. The Flyer has been pretty durable.

The Flyer seems very snappy. I don't do those test that because I know they can be tweeked and skewed. I go off how the device feels when I have about a dozen different apps open, multiple apps running simultaneously.

Not that Juice plotter is terribly accurate, but it shows about 45hrs of battery life. I manage a few weather based businesses. Today it rained and I watched about 3hrs of YouTube videos, a full length movie and the rest was spent browsing the Internet, Facebook'ing, Skyping friends, and using Google Music. When I got home to charge my Flyer I was still at 45% battery life. I'd like to consider myself a power user.

The process of rooting the Flyer was time consuming and about a 5/10 as far as difficulty goes. Had to update some things in the Android SDK to get it to work, got stuck in a bootloop, and confused by a few steps.

However, I got it to work FINALLY. HC is great on the Flyer.

Hope that helps.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
I have both A100 and Flyer. The Flyer hands down is the best hardware. Best display , period, faster processor, better build quality, better battery, great internal mic, the stylus is neat if you take notes alot. But.............

The A100 has a solid working HoneyComb out of the box. But Acer has some quality issues and some people including myself have had to return units for replacement for poor wifi range and connectivity. The internal mic on the A100 is garbage to the point of unusable. Bluetooth is output only, no mic, so it;s really lousy for Skype unless you use a wired headset. The display is good / OK if you are looking directly on it and terrible off angle. The Flyer display blows it away.

For the Flyer you get a very usable Gingerbread but to me its ugly and clearly the widgets are for a phone and look ridiculous on a tablet. There is a beta Honeycomb for the Flyer, its not that difficult to install, but its difficult if not impossible to roll back to stock after install (that is being worked and may have a solution in a few days). The beta has significant bugs or short comings for example the camera doesn't work in a lot of apps like Skype.

If HTC would release a fully functional HC ROM, there's no question, take the Flyer any day, but we have no promised date or even assurance that they will ever release such an update, so in my opinion, both are flawed and it depends on your needs and expectations. With either device you have to prepare to live with some quirks or limitations, but in the 7" world, for now these seem to be the top two.

I also had, but sold a Asus Transformer and everything just worked on that device, but I found it just too big to be portable. I travel a lot and love the 7" format.

Processors: Dual core doesn't mean it actually translates to faster processing. Few if any applications are written to take advantage of it and Android doesn't let you have multiple windows open and visible so only one task is foreground for the most part. Therefore a faster single core processor beats the multii-core in almost every real-life situation. I don't see this changing any time soon and the multi-core processors are just a marketing divot right now because everyone thinks they need the next shiny new object. The Flyer has some custom GB ROMs that overclock the processor, while the A100 has no custom ROM at this time.

As far as screen protectors, to me on tablets i think they are totally useless, but I treat my electronics pretty well. I travel a lot and never have an issue. Unless you envision carrying your tablet in your pocket with sharp objects or in a tool bag unprotected, its a waste of money.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Ryno_666:
Short answer flyer much better I too tried the A100 but to no avail was having same issues with quality hardware so I returned it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mevensen:
I tried the A100, the screen ruined it for me. Very limited viewing angles. I prefer the Flyer much more. Also, HC 3.2 is not really a plus to me. Gingerbread with Sense is a better user experience overall for me.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] MrS600L:
I'm a strong believer in the 7" format. Fits in one hand, which comes in handy seeing as we have a 6 month old that always wants to be picked up. I don't think there's anything in the market that competes with the HTC Flyer. I've had mine for 3 months now, & have had a ball. I'm running the standard Gingerbread ROM, because I've been waiting for ICS. That promises to have more functions for the stylus. Don't bother with a cover, unless you don't want to use a pouch or carrier. Its construction is very durable. The display is also good. Have watched a few movies & shows on it, including Transformers 3 & Top Gear. To the point where I don't even bother with my laptop, when I want to watch something. The headset sound is also very good. In closing, until the second gen Samsung Galaxys come out, the HTC is the choice in the 7" market.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
Lurking and really considering the flyer. Especially after best buy dropped their pants. Definetly not new to android, new to tablets. Only thing kinda holding me back is what appears to be a general lack of development on the device. Guess I was spoiled with my captivate. Still the stock software appears real solid
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
you'll find the same lack of development on all current tablets. Google never released the source code for honeycomb so there is no way to develop custom ROMs. All you can do is take existing ROMs and add or subtract system apps and a few properties. That should change if and when Google releases source code for Ice Cream Sand. They have promised but are holding it back until the new Nexus hits the shelves sometime in Nov. If the source is released , I expect we will see a jump in development and hopefully a CM9 rom but that will take a few months. In the mean time we hope HTC blesses us with a fully functional HC rom.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] EchoesOfOli:
Hi,

Just want to ask if there is possibility for dual-booting as following:

Android - From NAND

Windows 7.5 - From SD.

Because i still want to use droid as my main OS/ROM, so im asking is there any possibility to run Win 7.5 from SD and Droid from NAND ? :)

Thanks in advance.

+1 i have exactly the same question... please help!!!!!!

advises?suggestions?maybe...links??? :D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] enigma1nz:
No, my understanding is, WP7 cannot be booted off SD, so you are stuck with WP7 off NAND and Android off SD. I have it set up that way and am very happy with the way it works.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] SERGI.3210:
and android from sd card goes slow?¿??¿?boots slow????? any con?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] EchoesOfOli:
Yeah. Same Here.

Im using NAND rom now, and im impressed with the speed on my HTC HD2. I Really love to use WP 7.5 too, because it looks just awesome but i dont know if the Android from SD can match the speed of NAND - i dont actually care abou speed of boot, but about speed of room itself i use lot of 3D games and apps that needs lot of procesing power..so can you tell us about cons and comparison between NAND and SD..thanks in advance man :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] enigma1nz:
It is somewhat laggier compared to the same Android version run off NAND, but not to the point of being a nuisance. I talk about NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V3.0 (Android-2.3.5) only, because it's the only one I experienced in both NAND and SD options. Lets just say off NAND it runs natively, as if it was always supposed to be there from get go, off SD it runs without problems or glitches for me, but not as fast. HOWEVER, given the advantages of having both WP7.5 Mango and Android, I think it's a negligible trade-off.

---------- Post added at 06:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 PM ----------

As far as running apps on Android SD - I didn't notice any major changes. A big advantage for me with having Android is watching videos, as through Zune and WP7.5 it's a whole lot of headache, compared to simplicity and omnivorousness of Android - files can be just dropped onto your SD card and you are away. No lag of any kind to report when watching videos.

My advice would be to try it. If you don't like it - just remove the Android and the partition and stick with WP7.5 or unlock and format the card and go with whatever you would like to go. But chances are you will barely notice the difference in speed and performance.

Until WP7.5 Mango I was with Android off NAND, simply because I wasn't terribly impressed with previous attempts at WP7. I gave some versions a try and invariably returned to Android. Once proper Mango was out, I was torn and couldn't decide which one I would want to stick with. With dual boot I got the best of both.

---------- Post added at 06:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 PM ----------

Oh, almost forgot - e-BOOKS! I read a lot of e-books and WP7 is useless, I mean USELESS when it comes to document handling. Android off SD handles books gloriously - complete with book shelf, pages turning, fonts and backlight options.

Don't have a lot of 3D games, so can't really comment on graphics for those.

I can use Android for days before switching to WP7.5, you just use it as if it was your main OS - the two exist on your phone as very separate entities without crossing over. So text messages received in one will not be showing in another and you will have to remember which one it was. Files, music and photos will also belong in separate OSs, so you will have to add the same things twice for each if you want to use them on both.

Hi enigma! Can you please help with the process of installing Android in SD card while running nand mango? Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] anseio:
I found this solution for Audio Books on WP7

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1147373

It creates a fake podcast that you import via Zune and sync to your device. It remembers playback position and works very well.

EDIT - sorry, I sooo misread your comment. HA! Yeah, ebooks are a bit cumbersome. There's a free reader though. Begins with an "F", but don't remember the name off the top of my head. It will read directly from your dropbox account. So you can put epubs and stuff in there, and this app will allow you to open and read them.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] enigma1nz:
There are a few tutorials and a video tutorial, just search for it. The process is fairly straightforward. Make sure you install storage unlock on your WP7 beforehand, otherwise you will not be able to use Android on SD or SD for any other purpose. You will need to unlock your SD before rebooting into Android every time, as WP7 will lock the card on startup.

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 PM ----------

The problem is with loading anything other than pictures, music and videos through Zune. You either read it online through the dropbox or e-mail it to yourself. Crappy idea all around. No problems finding readers, problem getting your books onto a device. The reader is called Freda. Had to laugh at Acrobat PDF reader available on the market - to read what?

With Android you just have your readers (depending on the format you want to read, not all support every format out there), get your books onto your card and away you go. Couldn't be simpler. Hopefully WP7.5+ versions will correct the injustice done to docs and books.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] anseio:
I, too, am looking forward to when WP7 is more comprehensive.

Yeah, having Adobe Reader seems useless if you can't get the files to the device. Skydrive is helpful with that though. Can navigate to the skydrive files in Office and they open right up in Reader. Cumbersome in comparison to Android. Luckily, I'm an audiobook person.

Working on figuring out whether I want WP7 for audio or Android. Will need to test the battery drain to know for sure.

[Motorola Photon 4G] xyzdan:
I got my photon 4g from a online 3rd party dealer. It is advertized as "unlocked". When turn on the phone , it will eventually enter into a "hand free activation" screen for Sprint . I want to use the phone in Asia and in Canada with GSM / 3G carriers. I am not a sprint customer and have no desire to sign contract with Sprint in North america. What should I do ?

On the packaging , it said that if I want to use it internationally , I need to call Sprint first . Also it said KEEP the included SIM card inside the phone to use a GSM network.

Should I call Sprint about international travel and possibly get a unlock code (for GSM usage) ?

Should I take the included SIM card and put in my other SIM cards oversea ?

Should I root the phone ?

Should I "unloack"/bypass the boot loader ?

If I need help from Sprint to unlock the phone , do you think they are willing to help me if I am not their customer and I don't live in the states ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] slmclarengt:
Don't bother talking to sprint. Look at this thread and delete the specified apps that force activation through Sprint: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1265816&highlight=bypass+sprint+activation

You will want to put in your local SIM card once activation is bypassed.

Did you use some third-party camera app on WP7? Another reason: you PC is already infected with that kind of virus (check http://www.securelist.com/en/descriptions/old57108 )

[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
False alert; some bytes in your jpeg looks like virus signature for MS antivirus. Probability of this is very small but not equal 0.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Interlingua_TV:
Windows Phone has a big problem with viruses. This is because the core of the OS is compatible with Windows desktop.

AVG antivirus for Windows Phone was on the Windows Marketplace, but it itself was a worm-like collector of personal data. Windows Phone itself with its Bing are getting all your personal data.

The good thing about Android OS is the code is open, anybody can read it. There are no traps of collecting personal information to give to the government agencies or police, where Microsoft OS is closed source, nobody can know or control.

Infecting Windows Phone with a virus is as easy as opening a jpg image, an email or an attachment.

Buying a Windows Phone require a purchase of a good anti-virus, now that AVG anti-virus was more like a worm collecting data. Even though, the reports are that the anti-virus is blocking the ports and the 3G connection gets blocked, only wi-fi connection still works. Bluetooth connection is not affected.
